BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

Court documents clarify facts leading to removal of burial mounds The story about the Native American burial mounds on Lake Avenue and their subsequent removal in the late 1880s has taken a turn, thanks to research into archived documents at the county courthouse. The yellowed court papers bundled in a dusty wrapper have been available for viewing all along; it’s just no one knew exactly where they were, pointed out White Bear Lake Area Historical Society Executive Director Sara Markoe Hanson. The packet was discovered this fall on the district court case involving a wrongful death suit that ultimately led to the mounds’ removal.

As Hanson tells it in a presentation about White Bear’s Native American heritage, Charles Wheeler, his sister Ellen “Nellie” Wheeler, and a third woman, Delia Delano, all “from the vicinity of Stillwater, were driving their carriage along the lake when the horses spooked and the buggy overturned. Charles, thought to be 24, was thrown out and hit his head on a tree, dying instantly. The ancient burial mounds were blamed, with people claiming “spirits” caused the horses to spook. “This is a perfect example of a story passed along with newspaper records that tell a version that we have shared for years,” Hanson noted. “We’ve had

clarification. The story has not changed dramatically but has shifted.” The largest of the 10 burial mounds was singled out as the one that needed removal. Lake Avenue was required to curve around the mound near Shady Lane, which made it a hazard for passing buggies. The debate went on for years, as efforts to remove the mound were thwarted by those who believed the sacred grounds should remain untouched. “The issue was controversial in the early 1880s,” Hanson said. “And it took almost a decade for the village of White Bear Lake to make a decision.”

Noting she’s proud to live in such a special place since the age of 2, Karen Alnes marvels at the “heartwarming generosity” shown by “big donors and small” to the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation. As board member and secretary for the 6-year-old foundation, Alnes performed emcee duties at the annual awards reception Dec. 2 that this year granted $67,000 to 23 nonprofits as part of the Community Partners Fund program. Grant amounts ranged from $1,000 to $5,000. The partners fund has awarded almost $250,000 throughout the White Bear area since 2016, according to board member Laura Whitney, who announced the recipients. Its goal is to raise $10 million. Receiving special recognition via Zoom for their “amazing philanthropy” at the foundation gala were Suzanne and Paul Hanifl. Vice Chair Craig Drake introduced the couple, who are in Florida so were unable to attend the event. “The name Hanifl has truly become a household name,” Drake said. “You don’t have to look too far, across the street (the event

Raingarden chat with Keith Hisdahl What runoff issues were you facing at your store? The roof runoff was landing right into the front entrance and into the parking lot, which made for a disaster zone for ice and winter maintenance. There was also an erosion issue and sedimentation happening on the side of the building along Highway 96, with runoff washing from the roof, down the slope and into the street, but taking the slope with it. All the issues were corrected by a new planting along Hwy. 96 and an underground connection from the downspout into the raingarden. Routing the water under the sidewalk and parking lot spares the use of salt and ice chipping. The raingarden’s overflow directs water slowly into the grass, which is working great.

What motivated you to go the route of making a raingarden? I needed to do something with the shop to solve the issues. To do the development the way it was planned, the city had a stormwater retention requirement for a certain amount of impervious surface, so this was a strategy to meet that need. What strategies or needs went into the design process? The raingarden has an underground gutter inlet that takes water from the roof, under the sidewalk and parking lot, and into the raingarden. The raingarden overflow is designed to let water out when it reaches a certain depth, and it drains slowly into the grass from there. I haven’t noticed any overflow

reaching the sidewalk at the bottom of the slope, so the raingarden must capture most of it and the grass can take care of the rest. The raingarden inlet, outlet and the front planting along Hwy. 96 has splash rocks to slow down the high-intensity runoff spots.

anything innovative, to keep costs down. I wanted the value in the building more than the land around it, but the VLAWMO cost-share grant really helped. It’s really the same amount of maintenance as before, but you have less space to mow and use machinery on. Grant programs VLAWMO’s cost-share grant programs are open to businesses, residents, homeowner’s associations, congregations and many other groups based in the watershed. Different grant levels are available to help fund a range of projects such as raingardens, shoreline restorations, rain barrels, bioswales, or other custom projects that direct, store and treat stormwater runoff. Successful projects include either a practical or complex use of native plants based on the property owner interest, and each project benefits downstream lakes, streams, wetlands and neighbors.

What has surprised you as you’ve maintained the project and watched it grow? It’s cool to see how well it functions, and how it actually drains. I thought it’d be a big muddy mess with water flooding and woodchips drifting down the hill, but that’s not the case. I like color a lot, and was wary of having too much green. Color even changes through the season as other flowers bloom. What would you say to businesses who might be interested in trying out a raingarden? I initially wasn’t really interested in doing

What’s the maintenance been like so far? Are there any challenges or learning curves? There’s learning curves for sure, but no challenges. The biggest thing for us is not spraying the grass clippings into the raingarden. I haven’t minded some basic weeding, which I kind of like. I used to help with the White Bear Lake historical Fillebrown House just down the street, and took some horticulture classes in high school, so I like taking care of things like that.

Hisdahl’s Trophy has been a in business in White Bear Lake since 1967. Keith Hidsahl first purchased the business from his parents in 1995, and moved to his current location in 2005. In 2019, he started a major remodeling effort with a new building and new parking lot. In the process Keith stumbled across some stormwater challenges, but also saw them as an opportunity to try something new. With some creative planning and networking, the final result was something that enhances both the store experience and the surrounding watershed. VLAWMO staff sat down with Keith to hear more about his experience of building a raingarden at his storefront.

Stay vigilant

arjackings are on the rise in the Twin Cities area and it seems we are hearing about them nearly every day in the news. While the majority are occurring in Minneapolis and St. Paul, we have heard reports of them happening in neighboring communities such as Maplewood, Woodbury, Little Canada and Shoreview. As the parent of two teenagers who are starting to drive everywhere in the East-metro area, these reports have gotten my attention. While it’s not likely that you will become a victim of a car theft or carjacking, it’s worthwhile to be aware and take precautions. Recommendations I’ve heard to lessen your chance of becoming a victim include being aware of your surroundings at all times, staying off your cell phone while walking to your car so you’re not distracted, and choosing a closer parking space in a well-lit lot. Travel with other passengers if possible. Keep doors locked and pay attention at stoplights. If you think someone is following you, drive to a police station, not home. If you get rear-ended, don’t get out at the scene to check for damage, but drive to a place where you can safely pull over and notify the police, such as a well-lit parking with cameras or a populated gas station. If Publisher’s lot you see something suspicious, call 911. Another recommendation is to keep house keys separate View from car keys and hide the garage door opener Carter Johnson to prevent thieves from having a way to get into your house. Carry only a minimum number of credit cards and small amount of cash in your wallet. Since cell phones are usually also stolen with the car, don’t keep financial information on your phone and always have apps password protected. If you are confronted by carjackers – they usually attack in groups – it’s best to try to stay calm, turn over your keys and stay out of harms way. Don’t try to fight back or follow your stolen vehicle - the car can be replaced. Try to remember as much as you can about their identity, and of course, call 911. Since the perpetrators will typically have a getaway car, try to get the license plate number. A carjacking usually involves a vehicle being stolen at gunpoint, whereas car thefts are more common and do not typically involve threats of violence. Locally, I have heard of cars being stolen because they were left running, something many of us are guilty of doing especially in winter. This is nothing new, but thieves seem to be more brazen. Last year a friend had their vehicle stolen from their driveway as they were loading it with food and Christmas gifts to bring to a relative’s house. These are cases where thieves happen to be in the right place at the right time and see an opportunity. Keep cars off and locked when you’re not in them. Another technique getting national attention is perpetrators using tracking devices like the Apple AirTag to track a person or vehicle. The AirTags are a little larger than a quarter and can be tucked inside a gas cap or taped somewhere on the car. If you travel in areas where this might be likely, check the bluetooth signal on your phone to see if AirTags or other unfamiliar devices show up, then drive a few hundred feet and check again. These devices have a short bluetooth range and the signals should fade out if no one is following you. Again, if you have concerns call the police. What continues to be alarming is the theft of catalytic converters. This is pretty prevalent in our area, as evidenced in our weekly police reports. Replacing a catalytic converter is costly. The best way to prevent theft is to park your vehicle in a garage if you have one. If you don’t, have a protective cage installed around your catalytic converter or have it tagged with serial numbers. Installing a motion light in the area where the vehicle is parked can be a deterrent, as are cameras. Certain makes of vehicles are also more likely to have their catalytic converters stolen. Neighbors should keep watch for suspicious activity – if you see something, say something by calling 911. This time of year especially, theft of packages and mail is always a concern. Many retailers alert you now when a package is going to be delivered so you can watch for it. Planter decorations on your porch can be a screen so deliveries are not visible from the street. Don’t use the red flag on your mailbox for outgoing mail pick up. Create a neighborhood watch group where you can keep an eye out for each other’s homes, cars and packages. Last weekend a neighbor from a block and a half away returned a package to us that had slid its way down the snowy street in the heavy winds. It was a neighborly thing to do – the stuff communities are built on. With the increased stress around us, we don’t need to live in fear, but we do need to stay attentive.

portion of the Local Journalism Sustainability Act (LJSA) was included in the recent Build Back Better bill that was passed in the House. The LJSA, which has bipartisan support in the House, provides needed support for local journalists across the U.S. and is now being considered in the Senate. While there has been tremendous support for the LJSA overall, there have been some pundits who have Movers & questioned whether government Shakers support Dean Ridings for local journalists will maintain a free press. One such claim recently came from The Wall Street Journal in an opinion piece asserting the LJSA is “a subsidy for local journalists, most of whom are left of center.” It’s important for local newspaper readers to understand this claim is not only misleading but is also incorrect. While the writers at The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times may be

interested in demonstrating how right or left of center they are, most journalists at local newspapers are dedicated to the news of their community without a slant in either direction. One of the reasons the LJSA has gained so much support is the focus on protecting local journalism. The LJSA is designed to help local journalists in local communities and not the national media. Outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Hufﬁngton Post, CNN, Fox and others won’t qualify for support as they have too many employees or don’t produce local news. The creation and consumption of local news is different than national news, and according to a 2019 Knight-Gallup study, more people believe their local news organizations are accomplishing most of the key tasks of informing their communities, signiﬁcantly higher than national outlets. Without a local news organization, where else can a community get information about their local school board, the mayor’s race and other important components of community life? The LJSA also provides even the smallest newspapers with a bridge to continue their digital evolution. Most local newspapers receive no compensation from Big Tech companies such as Facebook or Google for use of their content. While The Wall Street Journal may be able to negotiate a deal with Google to be paid for use of its content, most small newspapers don’t have that option, and they are challenged

to find the resources to provide the news that is critically needed by their communities. This additional resource will provide the local news industry time to continue its transition to a more digital future and to work out a better arrangement either through legislation or other means to be paid when Google and Facebook use their content. The LJSA is also not a permanent handout for the industry. It’s a tax credit that sunsets in five years and is structured to incentivize all local news organizations to retain and even hire more journalists to cover their communities. While some hedge-fund owned newspaper companies and other major corporations will benefit from the tax credits, the real winners will be the communities they serve. For the thousands of small independently-owned newspapers across the U.S., particularly in rural communities without other viable news sources, the LJSA will mean that they have a much better chance of staying afloat. We strongly encourage the Senate to support the elements of the LJSA in the Build Back Better bill. We are appreciative of Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and the many co-sponsors of this bill who understand how important it is for all communities to have a strong local news voice; when it is lost, everyone loses. And that has no slant to the right or to the left. Dean Ridings is the CEO of America’s Newspapers.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Purple Line observations After reading Victoria Reinhardt’s editorial piece, I have come to the realization of the difference between politically motivated projections and observations of the common man. I live close to the current bus routes, and I observe empty buses with less than a half-dozen passengers leaving White Bear headed toward the mall.

I don't think that I have ever seen a person sitting on a bus stop bench. I walk downtown because of the traffic and lack of parking spaces. Eliminating parking spots and building bus terminals will do little to little to alleviate that mess. As far as mass transit fostering crime, I wonder if Victoria has ever taken the Green Line through

Minneapolis or St. Paul. I and my family have. Not again. I hesitate to write my final thought on this topic because it probably won't pass the test for political correctness, but people overwhelmingly prefer private transportation to public transit. The exception is generally those without the wealth to own an automobile. I can't help

but laugh that there are people that think that those who can't afford an automobile are going to stream into White Bear to shop in up-scale shops downtown. Victoria's favorite color may be purple, but I am seeing red. Robert Vincent White Bear Lake

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:

Grant • A resident in the 7000 block of 73rd Court N. at 9:34 a.m. Nov. 7 reported someone hunting near his property. When Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies advised him that hunting was legal in the city of Grant, especially if the hunter received permission from the landowner, the complainant said he was concerned that people were hunting with his children potentially playing in the backyard. Deputies again advised the complainant of the city's hunting ordinance. • Deputies conducted two traffic stops during the morning of Nov. 8. In the 10000 block of 75th Street N., they pulled a motorist over for speeding 75 mph in a 55 mph zone. In the 8000 block of Manning Avenue N., they initiated a stop on a driver talking on a cell phone while behind the wheel. • A trailer stolen from the 11000 block of 60th Street N. on Nov. 2 was reported recovered on Nov. 9. • An unidentified motorist was

cited at 1:34 a.m. Nov. 9 on 60th Street N. and Jasmine Avenue N. for possessing narcotics and paraphernalia in a motor vehicle following a traffic stop during which deputies conducted a probable cause search. The items were seized for destruction. • A homeowners' association president on Nov. 9 reported two hunters on adjacent land in the area of 101st Street N. and Joliet Avenue N. for trespassing and getting into a heated argument while carrying potentially loaded guns. Deputies advised her to call them the next time that happened. The complainant also provided a third-party report of a hunter walking by a neighbor's home and telling the child living there not to be concerned if he saw the hunter's flashlight in his window, because he would be out tracking deer. Deputies advised the complainant to have the child's parent call the report in. The complainant also reported drones flying by her house. • Multiple suspicious people driving in a business driveway in the 9000 block of 60th Street at 9:43 a.m. Nov. 9 turned out to be patients getting lost while looking for the location of their health screening appointments

at Woodbury Lutheran Church. Deputies gave the “suspects” directions and notified the complainant of their findings.

Mahtomedi • Two burglaries were reported Nov. 7, one on Sterling Court and another on James Court. • A Wedgewood Avenue resident reported a motor vehicle with the keys left inside stolen Nov. 7 a mere 20 minutes prior to deputies' arrival on the scene. The vehicle was entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database as stolen. • While deputies were looking for a burglary suspect Nov. 7, they encountered a suspicious male standing by the door of the Mahtomedi fire station on Stillwater Road. The male said he was looking for the COVID testing station. Deputies advised him the fire station does not conduct COVID testing. • A Hickory Street resident reported mail theft Nov. 8. • A suspicious male lurking in the vicinity of O. H. Anderson Elementary on Warner Avenue S. Nov. 9 turned out to be an Uber customer waiting for his ride to turn up. He showed deputies his Uber phone app for verification.

• Deputies conducted two different warrant arrests during the week, one involving drugs on Nov. 9 in the area of Wildwood and Birchwood Roads and the other on Nov. 11 in the area of Maple Street and Mahtomedi Avenue.

Pine Springs • The driver of a white sedan was cited Nov. 5 on Highway 36 at the westbound ramp to I-694 for driving after suspension, after deputies southbound on Hilton Trail N. at 72nd Street N. observed an object suspended from the rearview mirror, an inoperable rear license plate light and an inoperable third brake light. During the traffic stop, deputies discovered that not only was the driver not the registered owner of the vehicle, but that he also was suspended. The driver admitted to not having a valid driver's license and demonstrated a good attitude. He was verbally warned about the multiple equipment violations. • A Minnesota motorist was cited Nov. 12 on Highway 36 for speeding 70 mph in a 55 mph zone by deputies on stationary patrol, who clocked him on radar at 259 feet.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Unsafe driver taken off the road A Woodbury man, 29, faces up to one year imprisonment and/or a maximum $3,000 fine for gross misdemeanor driving after cancellation due to behavior inimical to public safety, after he was

arrested at the Speedway gas station, 1010 County Road E, for driving on a canceled license. Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies on routine patrol on eastbound County Road E observed a black Pontiac G6 without functioning taillights or rear

license plate Nov. 20 and conducted a traffic stop for the equipment violations. During the identification process, deputies ran the driver's name on their vehicle DATA application and discovered the suspect's driving privileges were canceled.

stepped up during challenging times. They’ve made such a difference. We’re just blessed that so many people make White Bear a special place,” he said. Handing the mic back to Alnes, she reminded attendees that it takes funding to operate a foundation. “And while our main intent is to provide the grants and celebrate another wonderful year of growth,” she said, “we also ask that you consider giving to the foundation. As a donor, it’s comforting to know that all the money given to the fund is granted out every year.” Concluded Alnes, “Nothing is more fun than giving away money.”

BURIAL MOUNDS: Story of controversial removal has shifted FROM PAGE 1

Historical society photos and newspaper clippings describe the burial mounds as a tourist attraction. An August 1879 clipping from the St. Paul Globe talked about a group of newspaper editors visiting Leip’s resort, docking at the “Masonic commandery,” and strolling the Indian mounds before winding their way back to the (train) depot. Stereocards by photographer T.W. Ingersoll also depicted the large mound as part of a souvenir White Bear Lake viewer collection. Hanson’s greatgreat-grandfather William Markoe was seated on a bench next to the mound, which was on his property. Markoe was a former Episcopalian minister who owned “Mound Cottage” on the corner of Shady Lane and Lake. He purchased most of the Indian mound land in 1873. According to Hanson, his religious background dictated respect for the sanctity of life, and he did not want the mound desecrated. “There was a huge push to not remove these mounds across the country for a variety of reasons,” added the historian, “not the least of which was they were considered an asset to a resort community like White Bear Lake.” The Wheeler accident and resulting lawsuit changed all that, at least indirectly. “The controversy over the mound came to a head when the Wheelers came to White Bear on a carriage ride,” Hanson said. “This is where the story changes from what we thought we knew.” Transcripts, hand-drawn maps and other files from the 1888 court case against the Village of White Bear Lake basically claim the road was unsafe. Nellie was the plaintiff in the suit, filed on her behalf by her father since she was a minor. She claimed she had damage to her knee and lower back. A physician who testified said Nellie could have fertility issues in the future from the accident. They sued the village for $10,000. As Hanson pointed out, that was a significant sum of money at the time. She found it most interesting, Hanson continued, that the accident did not occur near the Shady Lane mound as previously thought, but a good distance away near the bay (today’s Commercial Bay by Boatworks Commons). “They were headed back to Lake Avenue but didn’t make it that far,” she said, guessing that the party was returning from a visit to the Leip House hotel.

This 1885 photo shows a gazebo on top of the large burial mound on Lake Street property owned by William Markoe. It was common to use the mound as a social gathering spot.

The case was thrown out by the judge, but the case helped seal the decision to remove the large mound and many trees along the route. Following the laborious excavation in 1889, most of the Native American remains were reburied in a mass grave at Union Cemetery. Hanson added that a marker was not placed at the final resting site until 100 years later during the cemetery’s centennial. The equivalent of 19 human skeletons were removed, but it’s thought only 17 were buried in the mass grave. Asked about the remaining two, Hanson shared that the story passed down in her family is that two sets of remains were reburied on the Markoe property at the insistence of her great-greatgrandfather. “As a child, I was told this story. I was always terrified to ride my bike there because of the ‘graveyard’ on the street,” she said. After consulting with state archeologists about how to confirm that remains exist on the property, she was told there is no way to know for sure without digging. “I personally believe that yes, that happened, but I can’t prove it and I don’t know if we’ll ever know,” Hanson said. Mounds, she explained, are both for burial and ceremonial purposes. They are also accumulative, meaning that they are made higher year after year. Some mounds date back 25,000 years.

This stone marker designates the burial site of the displaced remains.

Eventually eight more smaller, less noticeable mounds were leveled in the area. In the book “Looking Back on White Bear Lake,” by Cynthia Vadnais, William F. Markoe, the son of William Markoe, is quoted as calling “the destruction of White Bear’s Indian Mound the crime of the century.” “We are often asked where in the cemetery the mass grave is,” Hanson added. “It’s in the southwest corner. Interestingly, there have been additions brought

www.presspubs.com

I. That this proceeding is taken pursuant to law in the name of and on behalf of the County of Ramsey, State of Minnesota, by John J. Choi, the duly elected, qualifled and acting County Attorney, at the request of the Board of County Commissioners of Ramsey County, as shown by County Board Resolution No. B2021-040, dated February 16, 2021, a certifled copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof. II. That the County of Ramsey also deems it necessary, expedient, and for a public use and purpose to obtain by “quick take” condemnation under the right of eminent domain the respective permanent easements and temporary construction easements in the lands as described in this Petition, together with all structures, trees, shrubs, grass and herbage to be damaged thereby. III. In the attached Exhibit B, where a ”permanent easement‘ is identifled, the interests being conveyed include all rights necessary for the construction, operation, and maintenance of all public right-of-way and utility uses now known or adopted in the future. Such rights include, but are not limited to, the right: to remove and use all plants, trees, ground cover, and natural growth now existing, or later planted or grown; to permanently grade or alter the grade of the land, and to remove and use all earth and other material not reasonably necessary for lateral and subjacent support; to limit or allow the location, number, and related characteristics of access from the remainder property to the public right-of-way; to store equipment or supplies; to access, both ingress and egress, from the most reasonably convenient rights-of-way; to remove any physical improvements or flxtures that interfere with its use as a public right-of-way; and to exclude from the area any use or improvement that con‡icts with the rights conveyed herein. Reasonable and convenient access to the remainder will be maintained. IV. In the attached Exhibit B, where a ”temporary easement‘ is identifled, the interests being conveyed include all rights of possession and use, for a limited period of time, necessary or incidental to support the related construction project, including the right: to stage equipment or supplies; to access other portions of the construction project; to make minimal permanent alterations to the grade of the land that do not substantially impact the remainder; to remove (and restore in substantially similar condition) any plants, ground cover, or physical improvements; to access, both ingress and egress, from the most reasonably convenient rights-of-way; and to install any temporary improvements. Reasonable and convenient access to the remainder will be maintained. The term of the temporary easement shall be for 24 months beginning on March 1, 2022 and ending February 29, 2024, or for 24 months from the date when granted pursuant to order of the district court, whichever is later. In addition, the interests identifled in this paragraph include the option of the Petitioner to extend the temporary easement for up to two six-month terms to be held consecutive to the original term and to each other at the monthly rate determined for the initial term. V. Personal property not speciflcally identifled as being acquired, including, but not limited to, fencing, irrigation systems, pavement, curbing, or signage, or trees, shrubs, plants, or ground covering, is not included in this petition, except to the extent the above rights provide for the removal, replacement, use, or repair of such property. It is the intention of the Petitioner to address any claim of damage related to personal property destroyed, removed, lost, or otherwise damaged, but not repaired or replaced in substantially similar condition, in accordance with applicable relocation laws, including Minn. Stat. § 117.50 - .56 or the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and any regulations adopted pursuant thereto. VI. That the purpose for which said interests in land described in this Petition are being acquired is for the widening, addition to and realignment of South Shore Boulevard for the purpose of public travel and transportation and related uses. VII. The taking in this matter is to obtain rights sufflcient to support the construction and maintenance of a public highway, including related facilities. Unless speciflcally identifled, pre-existing utility, pipeline, access, and other easements or interests shall remain in full force and effect and shall only be impaired to the extent necessary for the County of Ramsey to construct and maintain a public highway, and related uses, on the land being acquired. For any parcel being taken by this condemnation proceeding that is subject to pre-existing utility, pipeline, access, or other easements or interests, the County of Ramsey shall work as needed with the easement holder to adjust facilities to accommodate the construction or to adjust construction plans to minimize related damages. VIII. It is the intent of the Petitioner that reasonable access, in at least one direction, to the main thoroughfare will be maintained for any remaining interest of a property from which a permanent or temporary easement is taken. IX. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, should tests or evaluations undertaken by or on behalf of the County of Ramsey indicate the possible presence of pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous substances on any of the property described in this Petition, the County of Ramsey reserves the right to defer effecting the transfer of the interest to any of the property as described herein for a reasonable time until the County of Ramsey can evaluate whether it wishes to proceed with the taking, abandon these proceedings and dismiss the Petition as to said property, or otherwise respond to such information. Further, the County of Ramsey reserves the right to recover costs of cleanup and testing and all other damages resulting from the presence of pollutants, contaminates, or hazardous substances on the property described herein, from all potentially responsible parties in a separate legal action. X. That a party wishing to challenge the public use or public purpose, necessity, or authority for a taking must appear at the hearing of this Court at which the County of Ramsey, as Petitioner, shall present this Petition to the Court and state the objection or must appeal within 60 days of a Court order. XI. That the land in these proceedings to be taken are situated in Ramsey County, Minnesota and are more particularly described in attached Exhibit B which is made a part hereof. The names of all persons appearing of record or known to the County of Ramsey to be the owners of said land, or interested therein, including all whom the County of Ramsey has been able by investigation and inquiry to discover, together with the nature of the ownership of each, as nearly as can be ascertained, are set forth on attached Exhibit B. XII. The County of Ramsey hereby moves the court for an order transferring title and possession of the parcels described herein prior to flling of an award by the court appointed commissioners, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 117.042. WHEREFORE, the County of Ramsey prays for an order of this Court as follows: 1. Adjudging that said taking is for a public purpose, is necessary, and is authorized by law; and 2. It be further adjudged that the County of Ramsey is entitled to take and hold such property for the public use pursuant to the Notice of Intent to Take Possession, on flle with this Court; and 3.

Dated: November 18, 2021 JOHN J. CHOI, Ramsey County Attorney James A. Mogen Assistant Ramsey County Attorney 121 7th Place East, Suite 4500 St. Paul, MN 55101-5001 (651) 266-3121 Attorney Reg. No. 0309266 Attorneys for Petitioner ACKNOWLEDGMENT The undersigned hereby acknowledges that costs, disbursements, and reasonable attorney and witness fees may be awarded pursuant to Minn. Stat. Section 549.211 to the party against whom the allegations in this pleading are asserted. /s/ James A. Mogen James A. Mogen _________________________________________ EXHIBIT A BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RESOLUTION B2021-040 Meeting Date: 2/16/2021 Sponsor: Public Works Title: 2021 - 2025 Transportation Improvement Program File Number: 2021-037 Background and Rationale: In order to qualify for state and federal funding and to proceed with construction projects, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners must approve the Public Works 5-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a planning document and funding estimates identifled in the TIP are re‡ected in the County÷s Capital Improvements Program Budget. Similar programs havebeen developed each year since 1988. The Public Works Department, annually, prepares the TIP using a collaborative process whereby the County solicits projects and input from area municipalities. Project inclusion in the TIP is based on a cooperative dialogue with municipal and state partners, along with technical analysis and consideration of funding opportunities. While funding limits will continue to challenge program delivery, communication and engagement with municipal partners ensures local needs and prioritiesare examined and addressed to the extent possible. Projects included in the TIP are also looked at through the lens of the Ramsey County All Abilities Transportation Network (AATN) policy, which prioritizes the most vulnerable users (i.e. pedestrians, bicyclists, people with disabilities) flrst. The design, construction and right of way costs identifled in the TIP are estimates based on best practices in the industry. The funding landscape for transportation projects can be volatile and the ultimate delivery of the TIP is dependent on future funding levels. Partnering on projects with area communities, bordering counties, the Minnesota Department of Transportation and other state agencies will continue to be a critical way for Ramsey County to get the most from our available funds. Recommendation: The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners resolved to: 1. Adopt the 2021-2025 Public Works Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). 2. Authorize the County Engineer to prepare plans and agreements for all projects identifled in theTIP, and to issue solicitations in accordance with County policies and procedures and the Minnesota Department of Transportation÷s list of ”Pre-Qualifled Vendors by Work Type‘. 3. Authorize the County Engineer to execute Right of Way Plats and Certiflcate of Surveys for Highway projects that require the determination of existing right of way for the delineation and /oracquisition of property, for planning studies or disposition of excess County property. 4. Authorize the County Manager to enter into contracts and agreements, and execute change orders and amendments to contracts, supplemental agreements, and agreements related to theexpenditure of TIP Project Funds utilizing County State Aid, Federal, and participating funding associated with the construction of the approved projects in the 2021-2025 or a previously approved TIP in accordance with the County÷s procurement policies and procedures. 5. Authorize the County Engineer and County Attorney to acquire temporary easements, permanent easements, fee title, and enter into Limited Use Permits with the State of Minnesota for projects in the 2021-2025 TIP, or previously approved TIP, by negotiation or condemnation. 6.

James is an outstanding person. Thoughtful, kind and a true professional. He knows his craft. James was referred to us from someone who had a previous real estate transaction with him. He helped us sell my elderly mother’s home in 2020. He was so kind and thoughtful as he guided my mother through the process. Taking the time with great patience explaining what things meant and what to expect in the process. He also had to deal with those meddling kids keeping a close eye on their ﬁnancial prize as they are eventual heirs to the transaction outcome. I would highly recommend James if trying to sell a home with these circumstances. He gets it and knows how to handle the gentle dance of the normal dysfunctional family. As a result of our experience with James selling my mother’s home, we enlisted his expertise for the future transaction of selling our long time home in the spring of 2021. James is the true professional telling us with brutal honesty what we needed to spruce up and what to expect as our home was well lived in with no updates. We listened to James and James listened to us through the entire transaction. If you’re looking to buy or sell in Minnesota or Florida, we would highly recommend James and his assistant Joclyn to make your real estate transaction a pleasant experience.

Viking connection: Axe thrower set for nationals, backed by Meadery BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Austin Luecke, a White Bear native who excels in the sport of axe throwing, is headed for his third world championship meet, with hopes of reaching the final round on ESPN. Luecke has qualified in two of the three disciplines, Big Axe and Standard Axe, for the World Axe Throwing League’s competition Dec. 10-12 in Fort Worth, Texas. The top eight of 128 qualifiers in Standard Axe and the top four of 64 qualifiers in Big Axe will be seen on ESPN in the finals Dec. 12. A local firm with a cultural connection to his sport, White Bear Meadery, has joined

Luecke as a sponsor. “Josh, the owner, seemed really excited about axe throwing and it went from there,” Luecke said. Axe throwing is tied to Vikings, and Vikings drank lots of mead, Luecke explains. Once he tried their mead and found that he loves their product, he asked them to sponsor him. “When we found out that Austin was from White Bear lake and an axe thrower, we were very excited,” said Joshua Eckton. “Supporting local is what we’re about. Axe throwing was an added bonus as we are a Viking-themed meadery with axes decorating our walls.” Luecke, 26, who works for Boston Scientific as a process

development engineer, has been throwing for 3 1/2 years. He previously qualified for world meets in 2018 and 2020. In 2020, he was 13th in Big Axe. Luecke’s 2021 highlights include first place in a local tournament, United States Axe; second place in Minnesota Axe Invitational; second place in Big Axe Winter Regionals; and second place in Fall Regionals in Duals. Of four regional (multi-state) tournaments, he placed in the top ten in three, in both Big Axe and Standard. He also has sponsorships from Throvv, which does axe throwing photography; Into The Am, a clothing company; and Grain Belt Brewery.

Weather tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com You knew it had to happen. This is Minnesota and not Florida. We received our first real slap of winter this past weekend as our mild Pacific flow was replaced with much colder Arctic air. I totaled 1.8" of snow Saturday night and into Sunday morning, making it our largest snowfall total this year. It was a bit sloppy and slick Sunday morning, forcing us to brush up on our winter driving skills. After the snow, strong winds dropped temperatures into the single digits, our coldest temperatures of the season. The jet stream is changing quickly and we'll see a nice warm-up this week.. Side note: My 2022 weather calendar is out! Check my website for more info. WeathermanWatson.com or call me at 651.206.5364.

When you need us, we are here to help.

BY CORINNE STREMMEL STAFF WRITER

After almost two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the folks at Indulge Salon know that health care workers deserve a break — or at least a mani pedi. Eleven volunteers from Indulge Salon have opted to provide massages, facials, haircuts and manicures to 16 health care workers from Regions Hospital, all free of charge. Kim Schoonover, owner of Indulge Salon, said she had been thinking of ways to acknowledge the efforts of health care workers since the pandemic started. “We really wanted to give back to the group of people who have helped so many of us through this time. It’s been such

Another reason to look forward to Wednesdays!

a difficult time, and this is a small way to thank them,” said Schoonover. The health care workers signed up ahead of time to receive a spa day Dec. 5 plus a goodie bag from Indulge, which included gifts from Goodthings, a gift shop, and Plnt Bsd, a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, both located downtown in White Bear Lake. Schoonover says the goal of the day is to help health care workers feel loved and supported for what they do to help their community. “I feel like we’re a similar industry, because we’re both trying to make people feel better. Indulge has a very healing

environment, and we want to make them feel beautiful and appreciated,” explained Schoonover. This is Indulge’s first time hosting an event like this, but Schoonover said she’s open to hosting another one. Most of all, Schoonover hopes that the event will inspire others to honor health care workers who have been on the front lines of the pandemic. “We’re all about giving back as best as we can. We all could use a little extra love and compassion to give back to a group of people who have helped us so much,” she said.
