Jig. Set the hook. Reel it in. A little crappie surfaced from its wintry home below the ice and stared at me for a bit with its googly eyes. I set it back in the hole from whence it came and checked my bait before sending my line back into the icy cold water. Six-year-old Austin Smith used to love to ice fish. But he was no longer around after a rare brain cancer took his life. Yet, he was the reason I was here on Bald Eagle Lake learning how to ice fish for the first time in my life. “He was a guy's guy,” said his godmother, Meg Sorenson, as the ice shelter's snowy ground turned from white to gray with the setting sun. “He wanted to go do whatever his dad was doing.” Her cousin's son Austin was diagnosed with a rare SEE ICE FISHING, PAGE 9A

Evidence of Rotarians' good works are everywhere in the community. Many projects are done behind the scenes; some are more obvious. Not one to toot its own horn, the White Bear Lake Rotary Club deserves recognition in this, its 40th anniversary year. The club's accomplishments are many. One gem of a project is the Rotary Park Nature Preserve. Longtime Rotarian Ken Baltzer remembers shingling the picnic shelter roof late into the night back in 2000. He joked that he's still waiting for a steak dinner promised volunteers by then Rotary president Tim Geck. The club donated not only labor for the park, but paid $87,000 for materials to build a restroom, picnic pavilion and, later, the boardwalk through the preserve. Then there's the monument and sidewalk project at Clark and Lake Avenues for which Rotary contributed $50,000. Its members raised the money from the annual Manitou Days beach dance. The club donated another $50,000 for the Lakeshore Players Theatre box office, also using money from beach dance profits. Other good works include the club's annual Bear'ly Open, coming up Feb. 1, with proceeds going to the food shelf; STRIVE scholarships to area students; September's Taste of White Bear; blood drives, senior picnics and other beautification projects.

A formal introduction
’ve heard it so many times from fellow reporters that it almost seems cliché at this point, but it’s true for me all the same: I’ve wanted to be a journalist for nearly as long as I can remember. Back in high school, I served as the news editor for my school’s monthly paper, but my first gig in journalism (if you can call it that) came even earlier. Throughout third grade, I’d make a point of waking up early on Saturday mornings to type up reports on family happenings from the week prior, print out three copies—one for my parents and one for each of my sisters—and slip copies underneath their bedroom Between doors before they woke up. I called the paper the the Lines “Callen Family Inquirer” despite the fact that Elizabeth Callen and, none of my family members willingly subscribed, I charged them a quarter for each issue. My parents humored me by obliging, but my sisters never paid up. In retrospect, they were probably upset at the admittedly biased reporting, exemplified in articles like the one I wrote about them whining at having to complete their weekly chores (never mind that I always grumbled at the same myself). Thankfully, I’ve grown as a writer and reporter since those early days, especially through my studies at Carleton College and my time at Press Publications, where I’ve worked for the last year and a half. In this role, I’ve learned a great deal from my supervisors and co-workers, who have also become my mentors, as well as from the residents of the communities I’ve been lucky to cover. I can confidently say that the reporting here is of infinitely higher quality than the Callen Family Inquirer, and voluntary pay strikes me as much a fairer subscription model than my 8-year-old self’s demands for a quarter. I see journalism as a vital public service, and I strive to ensure that my reporting is accurate, fair and compassionate, whether it’s a story about the latest city council meeting or a local resident who has accomplished something amazing. However, no reporter can do their job alone—if you ask me, the key word in community journalism is community. So far, I have primarily covered the Forest Lake and St. Croix Valley communities for the Lowdown, but I’ve written the occasional regional story and a few columns, so readers of other papers may recognize my byline already. In any case, I am thrilled to now also be covering Shoreview. I know I have big shoes to fill, but I am eager to hear the stories and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. My introduction to the community so far has been warm and welcoming. Making connections with others is my favorite part of the job, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you feel inclined. I welcome any and all story ideas, photos and feedback. My inbox is always open, but even though I am a child of the digital age, e-mails and phone calls can’t compare to a face-to-face interaction. I hope to see you out and about soon! Elizabeth Callen can be reached at 651-407-1229 or shoreviewnews@presspubs.com.
T
his is a time when bright ideas that can become law are brought forward. This year, the focus at the Legislature will be on water quality, college campus improvements and public construction projects in communities across the state. As a member of the Capital Investment Committee, I personally visit these projects with my colleagues, and then vote to recommend which ones should be funded. This year I am also Legislator serving on the E-12 Education Finance Lingo Committee, the Chuck Wiger Local Government Committee and the Minnesota Legislative Water Commission. Capital investment ideas start with community members raising issues about changes that are needed. For example, the proposed project at Century College will replace roofs on East and West Campus, install a new boiler and improve electrical infrastructure. Completion of the Lake Links trail around White Bear Lake is a project I support along with passionate advocates. I will introduce a bill to achieve that goal. In previous sessions, veterans who yearned to make Veteran’s Memorial
Park in North St. Paul a place for ceremony and private contemplation presented their ideas to area legislators and other groups to build support. Individuals who wanted to give domestic abuse victims a center for safety and opportunity sought out the help of area legislators. As a result, Tubman Center received state money. And the list goes on. A law to make workplaces safer at hospitals originated with concerned nurses. Local school leaders have met with me to talk about fair funding for schools, smarter testing, early childhood education, and academic achievement. Residents who wanted to preserve a historic farm in Maplewood had a proposal that resulted in the beautiful Bruentrup Heritage Farm restoration. Firefighter leaders had an idea that eventually became the fi re training center in Maplewood, serving all of the East Metro. From parks and trails to consumer protection and public safety issues like body cameras – all have been brought to me and other area legislators by people living in our communities. A bill that becomes law starts with a bright idea. A person then brings the idea to a member of the Legislature. The ideas are discussed in committees of the Senate and House. Before a bill can be processed through either the House of Representatives or the Senate, it must first be given its fi rst
formal reading. The first reading occurs when the bill is introduced, given a fi le number and assigned to a committee for study. Committee members will discuss the pros and cons. After a bill is reported out of its final committee, it is given a second reading and placed before the entire Senate or House body for discussion and consideration. Once a bill is placed on ‘General Orders’ senators will get a copy of the bill and are given at least 24 hours to learn more about the bill before they are asked to vote. After senators are given time to consider the bill, it is read and a roll-call vote is taken. Thirty-four votes are needed to pass most bills in the Senate. If a bill passes in the Senate, it’s sent over to the House of Representatives where it goes through a very similar process. If the House passes an identical bill to the Senate it’s then sent on to the Governor. If the House passes an altered version of the bill, a conference committee is assembled which is composed of half senators and half representatives to work out a compromise that both sides can agree on. Once the Governor sees a bill that has passed both bodies, the whole bill can be signed. If the Governor signs the bill, the bill becomes law. State Sen. Chuck Wiger represents District 43.

With deadline approaching, Minnesotans ‘strongly encouraged’ to apply for REAL ID What’s the difference between a REAL ID and an enhanced driver’s license?
BY ELIZABETH CALLEN SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR
A standard Minnesota driver’s license will currently get you through the security checkpoint at the airport, but in less than nine months, it won’t. On Oct. 1, every U.S. citizen over 18 will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another form of acceptable ID for federal purposes, like boarding domestic flights or entering federal facilities. With the deadline approaching, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services (DPSDVS) is “strongly encouraging” state residents to apply for REAL ID now. According to a recent statement from the department, about 11% of driver’s license and ID card holders in Minnesota have REAL IDs—that figure is up 2% from November. Emma Corrie, DPS-DVS director, called that “good progress,” but noted that there are many more Minnesotans who will need a REAL ID and do not yet have one. “Don’t wait,” she said. “If you want a REAL ID to fly later this year, apply for one now, and make sure you have everything you need before you visit an office.” Minnesotans currently have three options when obtaining or renewing a driver’s license: the standard license, REAL ID, or enhanced driver’s license. The differences can get confusing, so below is a guide on determining which is right for you.
What is a REAL ID? A REAL ID complies with the standards set by the REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005. Born out of a recommendation from the 9/11 Commission, the act establishes minimum security standards for how states issue driver’s licenses and ID cards. A standard Minnesota driver’s license is not compliant, but both REAL IDs and enhanced driver’s licenses/ID cards are.
Unlike REAL IDs, enhanced licenses are acceptable border crossing documents, meaning they can be used to travel to Mexico, Canada and some Caribbean countries by sea or land, but not on flights. They require additional documentation, such as proof of citizenship, proof of photographic identity and an interview questionnaire at the time of application. Neither a REAL ID or enhanced license can be used for international travel. Enhanced licenses cost $15 more than a REAL ID, which is the same as a standard driver’s license.
Do I need a REAL ID if I already have a passport? No. A valid U.S. passport or passport card can be used to board domestic flights and enter federal facilities, even after Oct. 1.
What else qualifies as acceptable identification? The Department of Homeland Security has designated a number of acceptable forms of ID, including a valid U.S. passport or passport card, a trusted traveler card (e.g., Global Entry), a border crossing card, and a tribal-issued photo ID. A complete list can be found at tsa. gov/travel/security-screening/identification
What documents do I need when applying for a REAL ID? Applicants must provide the following: • One document proving identity, date of birth and legal presence in the United States, such as a passport or birth certificate • One document proving a Social Security number • Two different documents proving current residency in Minnesota, such as an unexpired driver’s license or ID card, a canceled check or a bank statement Laminated documents and digital documents shown on a phone or electronic device will not be accepted.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Amidst denial, greenhouse gases continue to rise I’m writing in response to letters from Ron Klick and Christopher Foley in the Jan. 8 Letters to the Editor. They both deny that the world’s climate is in any trouble due to the estimated 36 billion tons of carbon dioxide that humans have been putting into the atmosphere every year from burning fossil fuels. In making his case, Mr. Klick describes as experts Roy Spencer, Christopher Monckton and Richard Lindze. Mr. Foley also quotes from Richard Lindze in his letter. Spencer, Monckton and Lindze are on a list of well-known climate science deniers found here http://skepticalscience.com/misinformers, which includes links to accurate information. I encourage Mr. Klick, Mr. Foley and the rest of your readers to check it out. Mr. Foley also mentioned something called the “PlanckSchwarzschild curve,” and asked us to look it up. I did look it up, but it doesn’t support Mr. Foley’s conclusion that “the greenhouse warming effect of CO2 has already been achieved.” That conclusion is simply false; it’s one more claim on a long list of false claims that are described on the skepticalscience.com website. What’s the appeal of denying that the mind-boggling quantity of greenhouse gas being dumped into the atmosphere has any effect, despite ample evidence that the climate is already going haywire? Mr. Foley provides one clue, when he writes, “Please do not weaponize the weather or climate for political purposes.” Conservatives tend to believe, with Ronald Reagan, that “government is the problem, not the solution.” If climate change is being caused by humans and actually does threaten things like several feet of sea level rise and many species of animals dying out within one or two human lifetimes, it’s impossible to imagine a solution that doesn’t include government action. This would be a very hard pill for conservatives to swallow. It’s also no fun for anyone to think about the lifestyle changes that might be needed. So, I understand the strong desire of many peo-
ple to deny that there’s a problem. Because of all this denial, little has been done and greenhouse gas levels continue to rise. If the great majority of climate scientists are right, the likely damage to our planet will be staggering. I hope Mr. Klick, Mr. Foley and others of like mind will consider this. Al Gore and John Kerry might be wrong about some things, as Mr. Klick seems to think, but that doesn’t mean they’re wrong about everything. Peter Helgeson Vadnais Heights
Presidential privilege, diplomatic immunity and other atrocities In August of this year Harry Dunn, a 19-year-old Brit on a motorcycle, was overrun and killed by a motorist who was reportedly driving recklessly. An American has been charged in the case. Anne Sacoolas, the driver, fled to the United States rather than face those charges. She happens to be married to a U.S. Intelligence Officer stationed at a British military base. Washington has denied the Brit’s request for extradition on the grounds of “diplomatic immunity.” What has that got to do with it? Do all U.S. Service people have carte blanche to avoid prosecution for whatever crimes they may wish to commit on foreign soil? Do you really believe that “no man is above the law”? Think again. Kristen Brodie White Bear Lake
Taxed already To Governor Tim Walz, Rep. Ami Wazlawik and Sen. Roger Chamberlain, I like Sen. Paul Gazelka's proposal to end the low blow taxing of Social Security benefits. I was taxed already on that money. Unlike you, I am retired and on a fixed income and my school district just got a huge property tax increase on my house. Yes, let's tax seniors out of their homes. Seniors vote and we're paying attention on how you vote. Mark Herwig White Bear Lake
Lions thank donors The Vadnais Heights Lions wish to thank the many businesses, organizations and individuals for donating nonperishable food, toys/ gifts and monetary gifts to the Vadnais Heights Lions Club Foundation to provide for the annual Toy/Food Drive to help less fortunate Vadnais Heights families. The distribution was held on Saturday, Dec. 21, with more than 3,000 pounds of food, well over 1,100 toys/gifts and approximately $14,000 donated during the months leading up to the distribution. Over 120 families, including more than 200 children and grandchildren between infant and age 16, were served with multiple gifts, and approximately 50 pounds of food per person. The leftover toys will support our upcoming Easter egg hunt and a local school carnival. The excess food and dollars will help provide for the monthly food distributions or emergency food to less fortunate families. The Vadnais Heights Lions members and community volunteers put in well over 250 volunteer hours to make this program successful. The Vadnais Heights Lions thank you for your support of this very important endeavor.

Sainted by former student I worked as a paraprofessional for 35 years for White Bear Schools. While at a salon recently, I met a former student who had attended Central Middle School where I helped special needs students in mainstream classes. Kari left before I was done having a pedicure and manicure at Lovely Nails in White Bear Lake. When I was going to pay my bill, I found out Kari had paid my bill. This kind gesture brought tears to my eyes. What a fine young lady Kari is. She works as a RN at Regions Hospital. They are lucky to have her working there. I have always loved your paper.

The Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group (NCCG) shared its thoughts following MPCA’s decision to allow Water Gremlin to start using volatile organic compounds (VOCs) again. NCCG is a watchdog group that formed after Water Gremlin admitted to spewing toxic TCE into the air for years around its White Bear Township plant.
“We are happy employees are able to start working full time again. We continue to be concerned about how Water Gremlin operates their business. “General expectations of good corporate citizens are that, in cases like this, they take the lead on working to get better and they partner with the necessary regulatory agencies. But that has not been the case with Water Gremlin. Regulatory agencies and county government have mandated (and defended the need for) most all of the changes that have happened over the past year. Inspectors have been at the worksite multiple times a week for months. “There has been no change in Water Gremlin management or floor supervisors, that we are aware. The culture of Water Gremlin continues to be one where these leaders do not seem to believe the company has done anything significantly wrong. “Additionally, the community still has significant concerns about tDCE, the VOC Water Gremlin was just permitted to start using again. The chemical has not been well studied, and the studies that do exist show significant cause for concern. “The community continues to be fearful for the day this extensive, taxpayer-funded oversight of Water Gremlin ends. Our fear is that, without oversight, they will turn back to business as usual, with little regard for the health and environmental impacts of their operation.” Submitted
Water Gremlin allowed restart of operations The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) issued a new administrative order Jan. 17 to Water Gremlin that allows the restart of its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) coating operations under certain conditions. The administrative order is the result of numerous onsite inspections and detailed plans to address current contamination, as well as prevent further contamination. The conditions under which Water Gremlin can resume VOC coating include: • Phased-in restart and new testing Water Gremlin’s VOC coaters have been divided into seven groups. The company will restart them one group at a time, with 12 hours in between for indoor air and sub-slab sampling. If sampling finds groups are emitting tDCE beneath the floor, coating at those groups must cease until corrective actions are determined by MPCA. • Continued air monitoring and new air modeling Outdoor monitoring continues as it did throughout 2019. Water Gremlin must also submit any requested emissions data within 30 days of resuming VOC operations. The MPCA also will conduct air modeling (estimating concentrations at multiple

nearby locations) to determine if Water Gremlin complies with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. • Limit on VOC emissions of 90 tons/year The annual limit of 90 tons of VOC emissions from Water Gremlin that was in place throughout 2019, calculated as a 365-day rolling sum, continues. Water Gremlin has not yet indicated when it intends to restart, but the order is effective Jan. 17, 2020. Full details of the administrative order can be found at https://www.pca.state.mn.us/sites/default/fi les/aq-ei6-01i.pdf Minnesota OSHA continues its ongoing investigation regarding Water Gremlin’s employees, including addressing employee exposure to lead and the use of personal protective equipment at its worksite. The agency will determine if there are any needed citations and continue its work with Water Gremlin to put in place permanent solutions including — in accordance with a court order — new changing areas and shower facilities to ensure employees are free of lead when they leave the facility.

ROTARY: 40 years of good works FROM PAGE 1A
next to the downtown depot? Rotarians painstakingly took on the project, following railroad museum guidelines to make it authentic — right down to Great Northern’s blood-red paint color. The restoration took all summer back in 2000. And the American flags that suddenly pop up during patriotic holidays? Club members were out at dawn to hang them. Baltzer joined Rotary 32 years ago and he’s watched the organization grow, both in numbers and diversity. “We have more women now and younger people joining the club,” he said. “Membership is about 96, an all-time high, which means we’ve been able to take on more projects.” Every Wednesday morning, Baltzer leads the club in song. The former professional musician was the drummer for the Swinging Ambassadors, a group that toured the Midwest and was the house band at Diamond Jim’s in Lilydale. He’s also in the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame. Members are a diverse group of business and professional people who bring many talents to the club. “That’s what makes it fun,” said Mark Sather, retired city manager who joined White Bear Rotary in ‘84. “There’s a lot of laughs and fellowship.” The main objective of Rotary is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today’s most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy and violence. They also support programs for youth; educational opportunities and international

Although Rotary clubs develop autonomous service programs, all Rotarians worldwide are united in a campaign for the global eradication of polio. The White Bear club also endeavors to provide clean drinking water worldwide. “Members can participate locally, nationally and internationally,” pointed out Ken Galloway, a 22-year member of Rotary, and longtime chair of the Bear’ly Open. He still receives greeting cards from youth exchange students he hosted in his home through Rotary.

In earlier years, members drove RVs to Lake Michigan on an annual fishing trip. Opportunities for socializing are many, with pontoon picnics on White Bear, an annual ski trip — even curling.
“Through the years, I’ve seen a shift in the amount of things the group does,” Galloway noted. “We have a large and active club. It’s a viral reach. I often think about what the community would be like if Rotary didn’t do these things. A lot of people recognize White Bear Lake as a great community because of strong groups like Rotary and the Lions Club.” Sather concurs. “The number of activities keeps members active,” he said. “And with that comes more opportunities for socialization, friendships and a sense of belonging. The desire to serve community pulls everyone together.”
Baltzer adds that the weekly guest speakers widen his scope of the world. “I’m always thinking, wow — all this stuff out there. It makes you a more rounded person.” For Galloway, it’s a value thing. “Members are unsung heroes who make an impact,” he said. “They hold the kind of values that make others want to be in Rotary.” His sentiment falls in line with those expressed by Baltzer and Sather, all three past presidents, who hold that the attraction for members is the Rotary motto: Service Above Self.

ICE FISHING: Family-friendly tournament funds fight against childhood cancer FROM PAGE 1A
childhood brain tumor, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), when he was 5 years old. He participated in clinical trials and fought against the incurable tumor for 16 months until he passed away in May 2016. Sorenson's cousins, Mikinzie and Britt Smith, of Monticello, Iowa, created a foundation in his memory to fund research on the fatal cancer to fight for other children. About 300 children in the U.S. are diagnosed each year. The Austin Strong Foundation has raised close to $300,000 over the last several years. Funds have been given to research, trials and the DIPG Collaborative, said Mikinzie Smith in a phone interview later that week. The foundation has also funded bucket list experiences for children and donated to the children's hospital in Iowa City. Meg and her husband Ryan created a Minnesota chapter for the foundation and host an annual community ice fishing contest on Bald Eagle Lake to raise funds. The third annual event will be held Feb. 1. Last year, the event raised $11,000. “We're working with Mayo to allocate funds to Minnesota to fund trials,” Sorenson said. Her godson participated in several clinical trials with Mayo. The Smiths traveled across the U.S. to pursue treatment options, consult with specialists and participate in trials. Austin had no signs of cancer until his eyes began crossing periodically. Still, it took several months to discover what was wrong. He began having balance issues. His parents were shocked when a practitioner finally discovered the brain tumor. They were told there was no cure and to take him home and make memories. That they did. “We actually got him out ice fishing quite a bit the winter he was going through treatment,” Smith said. “He was very outdoorsy. He liked anything outside with the boys.” The foundation hosts annual events to raise funds to fight DIPG and childhood cancer. According to Smith, only about 4% of the taxpayer-funded National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) annual budget is directed toward pediatric cancer. “We felt so defeated at the time when we were told that,” Smith remembered. Meg and Ryan decided to do their part to contribute through the Austin Strong Ice Fishing Tournament to Freeze Out Childhood Cancer. Ryan, who grew up fishing on Bald Eagle Lake and is an avid ice fisherman, directs the annual tournament. The event is meant to provide family fun, he said. There are prizes for the largest, and even the smallest, fish. “Come out and fish and have a good time,” he said. There will also be a raffle to raise funds for the foundation. The event is $30 for adults and $15 for youth. Attendees bring their fishing gear and bait.

Holes will be drilled before the event at Bald Eagle/ Otter Lakes Regional Park. It should be a good spot. When we set off to go ice fishing last week, Ryan parked the four-wheeler over a seemingly random spot on the snow-covered lake. But he saw something I didn't. I watched as he and Meg set up a portable shelter and then I helped
drill a hole. He sent down his sonars. “We're probably over a school of a couple thousand fish right now,” he said, pointing to the bouncing colors on the screen. That was a little hard to believe. But based on the number of fish I caught in an hour, those fish were surely down there in their wintry haven.

Common angler question: Does my ice shelter need a license? As more anglers prepare for ice fishing, the DNR sometimes receives questions about ice shelter licenses. Minnesota fishing regulations recognize two types of shelters: portable and nonportable. A portable shelter is one that collapses, folds or is disassembled for transportation. Portable shelters require licenses and identification only when left unattended, defined as when all occupants are more than 200 feet away. In contrast, all nonportable ice shelters must be licensed. Wheeled fish houses are not considered portable and must be licensed. An annual shelter license costs $15 for residents and $37 for nonresidents, not including issuing fees that may be charged. A shelter license is valid from March 1 through April 30 of the following year. Licenses can be purchased in person, by telephone or at mndnr.gov/ buyalicense.
DNR seeks to fill up to 200 paid summer internships The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is looking for passionate and dedicated college students interested in learning more about possible careers with the DNR through paid summer internship opportunities.

Interns work 20 to 40 hours per week and receive a competitive salary of $15 an hour. As part of their internships, students must also fulfill an academic requirement or receive academic credit from their educational institution. To apply, visit the state of Minnesota careers website and enter “intern” into the keywords field on the job search page. Select “Natural Resources Dept” in the “Agency” column on the left side of the page. Applications will be open until Jan. 31. Positions will start in May and June.

Glaucoma continues to affect vision of millions of Americans According to estimates from the Prevent Blindness report, “Future of Vision: Forecasting the Prevalence and Costs of Vision Problems,” in 2020 more than 3.2 million Americans ages 40 and over will have glaucoma. The number is expected to increase as the population ages. Glaucoma, often referred to as the “The Sneak Thief of Sight,” is a leading cause of vision loss that damages the optic nerve. Although symptoms may not be noticeable at first, glaucoma slowly diminishes peripheral vision, making activities such as driving increasingly difficult. January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month. Prevent Blindness, the nation’s oldest volunteer eye health and safety nonprofit organization, seeks to educate the public on the disease, including risk factors, types of glaucoma, treatment options and more. More women than men have glaucoma. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) also states that those with diabetes, migraines, high blood pressure, poor blood circulation or other health problems affecting the whole body are at increased risk of glaucoma. For more information on glaucoma, or other financial assistance programs, including Medicare coverage, call Prevent Blindness at 800-331-2020 or visit preventblindness.org/glaucoma. Submitted

LOOKING BACK Week of January 19-25, 2020 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.
1920 The White Bear division, Council of Home (State formerly National) Defense, is still on the job to help the boys—The Division is a part of the Ramsey County Council of National Defense, organized by Mrs. J. T. Hale, June 1917 and has done all that Uncle Sam required of them faithfully and well. They tramped the streets in all kinds of weather collecting War Funds, selling Red Cross buttons, Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps.
1945 That the movement to establish a Memorial Park in White Bear is popular and will go over with a bang was demonstrated Monday night at a meeting held in the Legion Hall when more than 61 earnest people turned out and took part with that in view.

1970 Eugene D. Johnson, editor and publisher of the award-winning Olivia Times-Journal of Olivia, Minnesota, has purchased the White Bear Press. Mr. Johnson takes over February 1, 1970 with his first edition of the Press being published February 5. Johnson purchased the White Bear Press from Mrs. Litman who had assumed the duties of publishing the newspaper after the death of her husband Feb. 21, 1969. Mr. Aaron M. Litman had purchased the White Bear Press in 1947.
1995 The effort to cut $4.1 million from the White Bear Lake Area School District’s general fun staggered to its feet last week as the School Board began discussing closing an elementary school and reducing extracurricular funding. The board has set $4,168,000 as the target for its cuts from the general fund, rather than the $3.8 million the district lost when voters twice rejected the district’s excess levy referendum this fall.

WHITE BEAR CITY COUNCIL NOTES
Council OKs $1M ladder truck purchase BY BROOKE WOHLRABE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Three returning council members were sworn at the City Council meeting Jan. 14. They are Bill Walsh, Ward 1; Dan Jones, Ward 3; and Steven Engstran, Ward 5. Council members described Tuesday’s meeting as a “million-dollar night” as several expensive projects were approved. The council approved the purchase of a new ladder truck and mobile radio. The new ladder truck will replace existing Ladder 914, which is scheduled for replacement this year. The truck was purchased in 1998. “The truck will continue to be used as not only a ladder truck, but it is also used as a first-out engine and as a rescue engine as well,” said City Manager Ellen Hiniker. Hiniker said the council had several conversations during work sessions in 2019 about including the cost of the truck in the 2020 budget. The new engine will service all types of needs, and not necessarily just those requiring use of the ladder. There was a considerable amount of discussion within the department; research involved surveying other fire departments before the purchase was recommended. The engine will be constructed by Pierce Manufacturing Inc. at a cost of $1 million, which is $180,000 less than budgeted. It will take approximately nine to 10 months before the engine can be delivered. Hiniker explained that prices also go up Feb. 1, so some money is being saved by making a decision at the beginning of the year. “It’s an old engine, and its time has come,” Hiniker said. Walsh asked if the new ladder truck will be the same height as the old one. “The current ladder has a reach of 75 feet and the new one will have a reach of 107 feet,” said Fire Chief Greg Peterson. Peterson said they shouldn’t need to call in mutual aid on a height concern. The council also heard from City Engineer Paul Kauppi on the Centerville Road water reservoir painting project. The water tower was constructed in 1985 and still has the original paint, which is now in need of replacement. The tower needs to be sandblasted and recoated, he said. The work carries an estimated cost of $1.3 million.

Bill Walsh is sworn in with his family standing behind.
Kauppi said the time frame will depend on contractors, but it’s expected to take about three months to complete. He said there’s enough well capacity to supply everyone with water during the time period the tower is being painted. The council authorized staff to go out for bids. The plan is to open bids on Feb. 4 and award the contract at the first council meeting in February.
The White Th Whit Bear B Lake L k City Cit Council C il took t k the th following f ll i action at its Jan. 14 meeting: • The council approved a city-initiated request to amend the zoning code to clarify that only one stairway to a water body is permitted per property. City Planner Anne Kane explained that staff had been contacted by other municipalities with water bodies with concerns regarding lakefront owners wanting to sell private access easements to people who may live elsewhere and where the main property owner may want to construct another set of stairs. Nowhere in the zoning code is it stated that more than one stairway is allowed, but the code also does not state that only one stairway is allowed. The council unanimously approved amending the ordinance to clearly state that only one stairway is permitted per property. • Kevin Edberg was elected as council chair, a position he has previously held. Councilor Dan Jones suggested in the future they move the decision to odd years so that there is an experienced council electing the chairperson. The council was in favor of the suggestion. • The council reviewed a request to authorize bids to replace all windows at Pioneer Manor. The rental inspector detected that many windows are difficult to open and suggested that replacement would fix the problem. Ramsey County Community Development staff alerted city staff that there are funds available through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program that could be used for the project. The estimated cost is $325,000 to replace more than 200 windows. Staff will work in cooperation with Walker Methodist to oversee the installation of the new windows. The sealed bids will be opened Feb. 5, and staff will make recommendation to award the contract at the Feb. 11 City Council meeting. The project is contingent on receiving CBDG funds. • The council voted to appoint White Bear Press as the official newspaper of the city of White Bear Lake. • The council renewed the contract for the city attorney, prosecutor and counselor for 2020. Municipal law firm Kennedy & Graven was appointed for another year as the city’s attorney with Troy Gilchrist as lead attorney. The council also renewed the city’s legal prosecution services contract with Robb Olson. Brooke Wohlrabe

With hundreds of positive reviews and feedback, The FootLab website (www. thefootlab.com) has features and information on the benefits of custom foot orthotics. Appointments can be made online on The FootLab website. Interested individuals can make a free appointment with a certified pedorthist to discuss concerns related to their feet, knees and lower back. When feet hurt it is logical to think that it’s time to get new shoes. In most cases though it’s not the shoes that are bad but the support inside the shoe that’s bad. Everyone benefits from custom orthotics because they disperse pressure evenly throughout the sole of the foot and they align the foot properly which orients the knee and hip in a healthy posture. To make an appointment with a Certified Pedorthist call The FootLab at Hi Tempo (651) 429-3333 or go online at www.thefootlab.com and follow the links to make an appointment.

White Bear girl skaters keep battling tough season BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
While White Bear Lake girls hockey has not generated many wins this year, coach Elsa Shorey says the Bears “have continued to battle” and there are a lot of positives. The Bears are 5-16 after snapping a seven-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over Irondale/St. Anthony at home on Saturday. They lost to Cretin-Derham Hall 6-1 the previous Tuesday. “We have new kids stepping into power play and penalty kill roles, and some juniors and seniors who have been huge leaders for us,” said Shorey, a Bears alum in her first year as coach. “In many of our losses, we have played outstanding for two of the three periods, or had a ton of zone time but not enough quality shots, and so on.” Ellie Sarauer, freshman in her second
varsity season, delivered the game-winner with just five seconds left, assisted by Zoe Timmons, against Irondale/St. Anthony (5-15). Also scoring were Rylie Dawe (short-handed) and Avery Snyder. Maya Marston made 20 saves. Sarauer had the lone goal against CDH (9-10-1), which outshot the Bears 48-19. Shorey noted that Sarauer and eighth-grader Gabby Hofeld are young players who “recently have been generating a lot of offense, and will continue to grow.” She cited juniors Maren Shoeberl, Rylie Dawe, and Maggie Marston for “becoming more aggressive and focusing on consistency and leadership.” Senior leaders include Stephanie Wolkerstorfer, who learned to play center this year and is “a huge part of PK for us,” and hard-working Ashlyn Jungwirth, playing both forward and defense and all special teams.

Citizen scientists invited to help count bald eagles this January BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The recovery of the bald eagle has been one of the greatest conservation success stories in American history, but these majestic raptors aren’t quite out of the woods for good. Recent declines in eagle populations have some scientists asking where the biggest threats to these birds lie, and they’ve turned to the public for help. For the second year, the St. Croix River Association (SCRA) has organized a winter bald eagle count. On Jan. 25, St. Croix Valley residents are invited to explore a route of their choosing within the St. Croix Valley watershed, keeping track of the number of eagles they see. “We encourage people to plan a route where you can drive a little bit more slowly, maybe out in the country, but to keep moving so you don’t recount the same birds,” said Jaime Souza, SCRA education and outreach coordinator. “You wouldn’t necessarily even have to be in a car, if you want to go out for your winter run or ski, you can do that too.” All eagles observed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. can be reported to the SCRA via their website. Participants will be entered into a drawing to receive an SCRA swag bag as a prize. The St. Croix Valley is an ideal home for bald eagles: with plenty of waterways containing a bounty of fi sh, eagles can keep well-fed through the winter. However, the population of young eagles in the Midwest has declined since 2013. This eagle count is one of many that will take stock of current population trends, and give scientists, conservationists and policymakers a better idea of pressures affecting local eagles. Lead and toxins in the watershed are just a few of the pressures that threaten the health

The 2020 eagle count will take stock of the St. Croix Valley bald eagle population on Jan. 25.
Bald eagle declines may be due to a variety of factors. Citizen science efforts such as the 2020 eagle count are one step to figuring out what these factors are.
Nesting pairs of bald eagles return to the same nests year after year, often adding to the structure of the nest and increasing its size.
of these birds, Souza explained. “There’s still some uncertainty about the validity of the decline, so this can help make more sense of the numbers,” Souza said. The eagle count not only assists
scientists in gathering information that can help better understand the decline but also invites locals to engage with science themselves. “A lot of people want to be involved in science and they want to
help and they want to do something that’s easy, that isn’t going to take a lot of time or money, so this is really simple,” Souza said. Bald eagles are one of Minnesota’s largest raptors, but there are a few tricks to identification. Juvenile eagles don’t show the same clean white head and tail feathers as a breeding adult. Instead, these birds look mostly brown, with streaks of patchy white feathers. Eagles have a very large bill, which is often a good way to tell them apart from red-tailed hawks at a distance. While flying, eagles might resemble a turkey vulture, but if you can’t tell from the turkey vulture’s featherless head, their wobbly flight pattern may give them away. Bald eagles usually appear controlled and steady while in flight. At 77 square miles, the St. Croix Valley watershed includes tributaries like the Namekagon on down to Prescott, Wisconsin. Everything in between is fair game for those taking part in the eagle count. About 20 people took part in the count last year, and Souza hopes to see it grow even more. “Citizen science is a real thing and it’s really important,” she said. “We’re hoping to become more involved in citizen science in the future, making a difference in protecting habitat and protecting wildlife populations. It’s one of the things people can do to get to know us and our mission better as well. Our mission is to protect our riverway and its watershed. People are very aware; they defi nitely want to support efforts like this.” Those who’d like to participate in this year’s count can register for the survey and submit their results at www.stcroixriverassociation.org/ event/bald-eagle-count-2020.

Postpartum parents unite in White Bear Lake BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR
When Hugo resident Lauren Robbins had her child, she found herself traveling to St. Paul to seek out resources for postpartum parents. She wanted to change that for others in the northeast metro. In 2019, her vision came into reality when she opened Naturally Well, a wellness collective focused on families with young children, in downtown White Bear Lake. Robbins, a therapist focused on postpartum care, had opened an office for her business, Wild Tree Psychotherapy, in St. Paul in 2015. She opened a second location in downtown White Bear Lake in 2016 but kept looking for a larger place where she could collaborate with other wellness specialists to create a center for the growing number of young families in the area to offer support for pregnancy, postpartum and parenting. She often thought of her vision when she drove by a vacant building on the corner of Fourth Street and Bald Eagle Avenue. Eventually, she and a local chiropractor joined forces and moved in last June. Over the year, several other professionals have joined the collective, Naturally Well, and now mental health counseling, chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, yoga, nutrition, lactation support and midwifery care are all offered under one roof. A mobile salt cave parks outside once a month. “Our wellness approaches are holistic in nature,” Robbins explained. “Having it under one roof makes it easier to access.” She also had a vision to offer a free, drop-in parent support group, which started last fall. She wanted to create an environment where northeast metro parents can connect and receive information for free to reduce barriers to accessing parent wellness care. The group is for pregnant

MAHTOMEDI SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The Mahtomedi School Board took the following actions at its Jan. 9 meeting: • Elected school board officers for 2020. The board moved the 2019 slate of officers forward to 2020. Lucy Payne returns as chairperson; Julie McGraw returns as vice-chair and Stacey Stout returns as treasurer. • Appointed board members to committees within the district, appointed liaisons to advisory boards around the metropolitan area and around the state and appointed liaisons to district and metropolitan governing boards. • Approved school board member compensation, according to Policy 202.1 – School Board Compensation. Current compensation is based on the average of the Northeast Metro 916 member district school boards. Officers of the board will receive slightly more compensation than directors. The average 916 director annual compensation in 2019 was $5,248. Board members will be paid in March, June, September and December. Deductions will be withheld as required by law. Board members will also be eligible for reimbursement of expenses, such as mileage and meals directly related to fulfillment of their official duties. School board member compensation was last revised in 2015. • Selected the official depositories for the district: Associated Bank Corp, MN Trust, PMA Financial Network, Inc., US Bank of St. Paul, US Bank of White Bear Lake and designated depositories of the Minnesota School District Liquid Asset Fund. • Gave authorization to approve and pay vendors before school board meetings and to use wire transfers. • Selected the advisory, tax and assurance firm of Baker
Tilly as financial advisor. • Passed a resolution providing limited authorization for the superintendent and business manager to execute contracts within the adopted budget approved by the board, provided any transaction in an amount exceeding the minimum for which bids are required must first be specifically authorized by the board and fulfill all other requirements. • Approved a resolution authorizing the use of facsimile signatures by school district officers on checks, drafts, warrants, vouchers or other orders on public funds and authorizing the district depository bank to honor any such instrument bearing a facsimile signature as fully as a manual signature by these offiers. Also according to Minnesota statutes, the district will be insured by a company within the state in the amount of $100,000 in the form of a surety bond, or otherwise, against the loss of public funds that could be withdrawn based on the unauthorized use of a facsimile signature. Insurance won't cover any officer's unlawful act, however. • Designated the law firm of Ratwik, Roszak and Maloney as official district legal counsel, as well as the law firm of Rupp, Anderson, Squires and Waldspurger. Others will be designated as needed. • Designated the White Bear Press as the official newspaper of the school district. • Heard a presentation from Susan Prather on a Girl Scout Silver Award project led by Brooke Zemke, who will make updated signs for the O.H. Anderson Elementary Nature Trail. Zemke created a plan and sought approval to reuse parts of old signs and remove
unusable signs, determine new sign locations, create new signs from research with color photos and QR codes and lead a team to install the signs. Board Member Kevin Donovan told Zemke there was a group around town known as the Lake Links Association working on what she had already done — making laminated signs with QR codes. "You’re a step ahead of them — another group of people who are doing good work too," he told Zemke. • Heard a report from Superintendent Barbara Duffrin, who noted ninth graders’ participation for the second year in a row in History Day. The event was an opportunity to delve into topics of interest to them, she said. The theme this year was breaking barriers in history. Duffrin also noted the upcoming Zephyr Wellness Initative event, The Key Ingredient to Your Child's Well-Being, to be held from 6-8 p.m. Jan. 14 at Mahtomedi Middle School. Duffrin also noted that the staff teams at the high school and O. H. Anderson recently met to develop their schools’ building level strategic plans. The Wildwood Elementary team will meet to develop its plan next week, and middle school team is scheduled to meet in February. Teams from all four district buildings will be engaged in strategic planning to determine what their place will be in supporting the work of the district, Duffrin said. The board next meets at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27 in the District Center Community Room, 1520 Mahtomedi Ave. Loretta Harding

Two musicians who run a nonprofit called Discover Music— where they create lessons based on Minnesota state history standards — stopped by for some musical excitement.

Want Natural Relief? Most Americans can remember the last time they took a commonplace pain pill. Ibuprofen, Advil and other non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDS, are widely popular across the United States and for many they are as commonplace as coffee in the morning or a drink on the weekend. What many don’t know is that NSAIDs carry with them significant risks, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Because of this, many have found natural CBD products can offer helpful and healthy alternatives to popular over-the-counter NSAIDs. According to statements from the FDA, including a renewed warning in 2015, NSAID pain relievers carry a risk of heightened blood pressure and heart attacks.
Luckily, Nothing But Hemp has provided an important basis for new CBD customers to learn about the benefits of hemp and which products are right for them. At a variety of locations across the state of Minnesota, in Florida and Nevada, visitors will find a wealth of hemp experience and expertise among seasoned retail team members and managers. Quality and transparency are also key to Nothing But Hemp, with leading third-party tested brands like Siskiyou Sungrown CBD, Charlotte’s Web CBD and local favorite Minny Grown CBD.
Harvard Medical School reported that one NSAID was responsible for as many as 140,000 cases of heart attacks while on the market. The most risky uses of NSAIDs come from prolonged use, according to Harvard. The science behind CBD is new and exciting, but novelty brings its own problems with research. The hemp plant has long been prohibited in the U.S. and scientists have rushed to learn more since federal hemp legalization in 2018. In the summer of 2019, the World Health Organization published findings that CBD use carries no major health risks. The National Institutes of Health have published multiple studies about the potential uses and benefits of CBD, including as a treatment for chronic and hard-to-treat pain as well as for inflammation. Both of these are common reasons people turn to NSAIDs.

Still, finding the right CBD products can be difficult, and a flooded market of new businesses and retailers has confused many as the news of hemp’s utility has spread.

“BAD BOYS FOR LIFE” (R) [STRONG BLOODY VIOLENCE, LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT, SEXUAL REFERENCES, AND BRIEF DRUG USE.] — After a ruthless, revenge-driven woman (Kate del Castillo) escapes from prison in Mexico City and coerces her skilled drug cartel-leading son (Jacob Scipio) to murder those who wronged her in this action-packed, fast-paced, entertaining, humorous, bullet-riddled, unpredictable, star-studded (Joe Pantoliano, Vanessa Hudgens, D. J. Khaled, Ashley Tisdale, and Randle), 123-minute comedic sequel to the 1995 “Bad Boys” and 2003 “Bad Boys II” films, two longtime detective partners (Will Smith and Martin Lawrence) and an elite team of Miami cops (Paola Núñez, Alexander Ludwig, Charles Melton, et al.) try to take down the vicious assassin and his henchmen (Nicky Jam, et al.).

WEEKLY AVERAGES
We experienced some interesting weather this past week JAN. 22 - 28, 2020 starting off with some of the coldest temperatures of the High 23° season but it wasn't nothing we couldn't handle. A well hyped 6° snow forecast fell well short of initial predictions of up to a foot Low with just 4 inches. The snow was pretty much over by Friday %Sun 53% night. A freezing drizzle on Saturday coated the snow cover PCP 0.25” which limited blowing and drifting here in the Metro as winds kicked up on Saturday and temperatures tumbled. Out-state wasn't as fortunate as they experienced blizzard and white out conditions. The cold was short-lived as temperatures warmed into the 30's this week. Note: My 2020 weather calendar is available. Check WeathermanWatson.com or call 651-2065364 for more info.
Crossword
[SOME ACTION, RUDE HUMOR, AND BRIEF LANGUAGE.] — After the death of his beloved wife (Kasia Smutniak) and hiding behind the barriers of his plush English estate in the 1800s in this funny, family-friendly, entertaining, predictable, star-dotted (Jim Broadbent, Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen, and Ralph Ineson), 106-minute comedy highlighted by wonderful cinematography, scenery, sets, and special effects and based on Hugh Lofting’s “The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle,” a despondent, widowed veterinarian and animal whisperer (Robert Downey Jr.), who can speak with animals (voiceovers by Ralph Fiennes, Tom Holland, Marion Cotillard, Selena Gomez, Jason Mantzoukas, and Frances de la Tour), goes on an high seas adventure with a stowaway apprentice (Harry Collett) and his loyal exotic menagerie, including a wise macaw (voiceover by Emma Thompson), a fearful gorilla (voiceover by Rami Malek), a bashlykwearing polar bear (voiceover by John Cena).

“RISE OF THE DEAD” (R) CLUES ACROSS [VIOLENCE, SEXUALITY, NUDITY, AND LANGUAGE.] [DVD ONLY] — A preposterous, stupid, bloody, violent 2007 thriller about a crazy Bible-thumping couple (Emily Hackerman and Doug Sobon) who curse their adopted infant son (Jack Gordon) when he accidentally shoots himself and then the spirit of the dead child possesses a number of weaponwielding people (Jamie Whitlock, Brooke Delaney, Chris Ferry, Peter Blitzer, et al.) in an attempt to murder his biological mother (Erin Wilk) who gave him up at birth.
“UNDERWATER” (PG-13) [SCI-FI ACTION AND TERROR, AND BRIEF STRONG LANGUAGE.] — After a catastrophic earthquake endangers the crew of a research station more than six miles down in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean in this disappointing, dark, well-paced, predictable, 95-minute sci-fi thriller, the surviving researchers (Kristen Stewart, Vincent Cassel, John Gallagher Jr., T. J. Miller, Jessica Henwick, Gunner Wright, and Mamadou Athie) desperately try to find a way to reach the surface from their laboratory while mysterious subterranean creatures terrorize the crew.
