Super Bowl’s volunteer coordinator quarterbacks 10,000 employees BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
In the history of the Super Bowl, never has there been such an overwhelming response to the call for volunteers as this year. Fifteen thousand people answered the call; only 10,000 were hired. Doing the hiring was Mahtomedi High School grad Elle Kehoe, class of ‘07. Kehoe works for the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Commit-
tee as director of volunteers. Before that, she worked Super Bowl 50 in San Francisco and the Rio Olympics in between. There are several important prerequisites for the job of professional event planner: a proficiency at Excel, a willingness to travel and abundant energy. When she’s working, Kehoe says, the job is 24/7. But when she’s not working, it’s lengthy vacations in places like Hawaii, Vail and, most recently, Vietnam, where her
older sister Emmy teaches English. Kehoe moves from event to event, working by contract with host committees. After she was hired in September 2016 for Super Bowl 52, she and her small paid staff brought on 500 people to interview candidates for the 10,000 volunteer slots. Volunteers assist visitors at the festival on Nicollet Mall, in the skyways and at hotels. SEE VOLUNTEERS, PAGE 9A

Lawsuit: Property owner claims trespass, city wants trail back BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Riding the weather roller coaster Sarah Rosales and her daughter Marta, 1, take advantage of the sunshine and relatively warm temperature Thursday, Jan. 18 to venture out on one of the cross country ski trails that loop through Tamarack Nature Center in White Bear Township. The additional layer of snow that fell on Monday should help to create favorable conditions out on the trails.
MAHTOMEDI — The dust is not settling on a segment of asphalt trail removed by a homeowner last September. The city considers the piece public right of way and filed a lawsuit against Katherine Verzhbitska-Radzills in November, claiming she unlawfully tore up the bituminous trail located on an easement next to her property at 970 Pineview Court. The trail had been maintained by the city for 23 years before the defendant purchased her single-family home in 2015. In the complaint, city attorney Jay Karlovich said Verzhbitska-Radzills neglected to get permission from adjoining neighbors or the city, and left an abrupt drop-off where the trail had been, creating dangerous conditions. The city noted that the trail was used daily by pedestrians, including children who, since its destruction, “have been forced to traverse Lincolntown Road.” The defendant contends that she could not locate any recorded easement for the walkway in favor of the city or the public, and concludes the property belongs to her. Verzhbitska-Radzills informed the city of her intention to rip up the pavement and cut off access in a Sept. 18 letter sent by her attorney. SEE TRAIL IMPASSE, PAGE 8A

Siren or bust, a snowmobile tradition keeps on trekking BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
A snowmobile club co-founded by a couple of White Bear Lake guys is celebrating a golden milestone this month: 50 years. Since 1968, club members, all male, have embarked on a January ride to Siren, Wisconsin. It started when three local men fused their enthusiasm for the sport with their business acumen to form a club called Pizza, Holiday House, Race Association or PHRA for short. It's billed as the oldest active snowmobile club in Minnesota, maybe the world. The trio of founders included Dave Olson, owner of Dave's Pizza on Highway 61 and Third Street in White Bear Lake; Rudy Dreiling (deceased), who owned the Holiday House and White Bear Bowl, and Shoreview resident Don Heningfield (deceased). Current club chairman Chad Lehrke, of Lino Lakes, said the PHRA name is a bit of a misnomer since the annual winter event is a rally, not a race. Lehrke grew up in Vadnais Heights and credits his dad Ron Lehrke for getting him started in the PHRA. The younger Lehrke has been a member since 1995 but is not this year's longest active member riding in the rally. That honor goes to John Pole, a retired dentist from Cottage Grove, who has a penchant for old Chris-Craft boats and Model Ts. Pole has a 1974 patch that signifies his first year on the 100-mile ride. He also wears bib No. 5, making him one of the few remaining members with a single digit number. Members earn their bibs by passing a rookie ritual their first year. One of the club's many time-honored traditions directed at rookies includes taking a 1973 Polaris Colt on and off the trailer at every “rest stop.” (There are always support drivers hauling a trailer in case of breakdowns. Someone always breaks down.) Rookies also guard a giant PHRA whistle that serves as a mascot. Lehrke explained that if anyone kicks the 5-foot wooden whistle, and they do for whatever reason, a $2 fine is imposed. He couldn't remember why rookies guard the vaunted whistle, but no matter. They can't abandon their duties either, or they face a fine. In fact, small fines are imposed for just about any slight infraction, all in fun, of course. The money supports the “extra stuff we do,” Lehrke said. Last year a member actually proposed to his girlfriend at the club's Thursday night banquet prior

to the ride. “He got fined for interrupting,” Lehrke recalled. Members sponsor rookies, who must ride in costume, according to club tradition. “Rookie of the Year” is an honor bestowed at the Saturday night banquet in Siren. One year Greg McCullough of Hugo won Rookie of the Year dressed as a cheerleader. His costume was such a fan favorite that it resides among the club's treasured archives, along with Dreiling's racing jacket and a pink tutu worn by Dave Garceau, owner of Garceau's Hardware and Power Sports in Vadnais Heights (deceased). He had a pink helmet to match. Lehrke put the word out to veteran riders this year to gather for the 50th anniversary. He's keeping his fingers crossed the old-timers show to share stories. Member Pole is going to receive a lifetime achievement award. PHRA members have ridden in 30 below temperatures (1972); and more than one blizzard. One particularly bad storm occurred in 1974 that closed Wisconsin's Highway 35. The snowmobilers rode six abreast down the two-lane roadway from Luck to Siren. “Anything that can go wrong has gone wrong,” Lehrke noted. “People have run out of gas and bumped into trees; sleds won't start or skis fall off.” Snow cover is crucial, of course. When trails lack the necessary white stuff, stalwart members drive rather than cancel the rally. The last few years, snow has been particularly sparse the weekend of the ride. According to Lehrke, there are probably a half dozen guys who have yet to snowmobile to Siren. “But they've stuck it out,” he said. “It shows the camaraderie. I think the PHRA will continue for many years to come.”

Local ladies tap up a storm Tuesday evening from 7:45 to 8:45 p.m. is the happiest hour of the week for four women who gather at White Bear Dance Center for their adult tap class. “Making new friends, increasing strength, agility, and aerobic power, decreasing stress, as well as staving off dementia are all side benefits of the unbridled fun that happens in class,” wrote Amy Smith in an email. An associate professor in the Department of Teacher Education at the University of St. Thomas, Smith cited several studies that show dancing has the potential to improve the physical function in adults. “According to a 21-year study led by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, adults who danced regularly had a 76 percent reduced risk for developing dementia,” she noted. “Experts theorize that dancing is beneficial for our brains because it com-
bines cardiovascular exercise with split-second decision-making that taxes our neural network, forcing it to create new pathways.” Each adult tap class taught by owner/instructor Katie Weidner is packed with fun, Smith added. Participants learn new steps, dance terminology, get heart rates up, and practice “combos” to fabulous music in an energetic and nonjudgmental atmosphere. “Weidner creates a climate and curriculum that meets students where they are and facilitates learning, fitness, and fun,” Smith said. “Friendships are made, fitness is increased, stress is reduced, all of which translate to the happiest, tappiest hour of the week. And so, while money can’t buy happiness, it can buy a pair of tap shoes, which is pretty much the same thing.” Submitted

Brush with death
G
randparents have played a huge role in our lives, especially when we have early morning or night meetings, events, or want to take a night off to hang out with friends. Last Friday night we had a party to go to and my in-laws said they would spend the evening with the kids, which included dinner and a 9 p.m. pick up from ski club at the middle school. With a hundred or so kids coming off the bus, the pick-up procedure is a little chaotic. As my father-inlaw was walking towards the front door of the school to look for my daughter, he slipped on the ice and fell in front of a Suburban lined up in the pick-up lane. It was dark, the driver of the Suburban, Publisher’s and who presumably didn’t know he was in front of her truck, began to View pull forward. On his knees strugCarter Johnson gling to stand up he pounded on the front of her bumper so she would stop. She did, and it all turned out OK except for a bruised knee. Plus, he was a little rattled at the thought of almost being run over. It was a reminder to all of us how quickly accidents can happen. Since then I have experienced two instances where I thought little kids were going to run out in front of my car. Keep an eye out for children at the bus stop or playing in snow banks, people walking along the roads, slippery intersections and parking lots. Give yourself extra time to get places, go slow, be aware of what is going on around you, and keep your windshield washer fluid full and your car washed so you can see clearly out of your windows. Thankful for carriers I am so thankful for the parents who have allowed their children to be carriers and encouraged them to manage their own business with a newspaper route. On Jan. 13, we rented Emagine Theatre in the township for a private showing of “Star Wars” for more than 50 of our carriers. Multiple times a year we show a new release movie to celebrate our youth carriers and the families who support them. We also typically show a short video to highlight a past carrier’s story. This time we interviewed our news team to explain how they find story leads and create news stories for the papers. We also featured interviews with current and former carriers, including local business leaders and even an astronaut who once was a Press Pubs carrier. I would like to thank the hundreds of local residents who choose to make the youth carrier program sustainable through your subscriptions, as well as words of encouragement, kindness and tips. Last fall a young carrier was struggling with a route. She had not had much success with collections, the weather was cold and she was ready to throw in the towel. A single $20 tip came through our office and changed her view. She held on to the route and her parents said she has had a little spark in her eye and a spring in her step ever since. Many thanks to the 100-plus youth and adult carriers who help us get the community newspaper delivered and the subscribers who support their jobs and process. Postal carriers When we moved into our house our postal carrier, Tim, was among the first to welcome us to the neighborhood. Our local postal carriers are more than just delivery men and women — they are residents, friends, neighbors and a watchful eye against crime. As our family filled a few open newspaper routes over the holidays that year, we were reminded how difficult it is to deliver the newspaper this time of year because of snow, and imagine that delivering the mail every day must be even more challenging. Please make sure to keep your mailbox and newspaper tube free of snow. Take a look at the fire hydrants in your neighborhood, too, as they need to be clear and accessible in case of emergency.

Business saves money and cuts water waste “Water is the oil of the 21st century,” declared Andrew Liveris in 2008, speaking as Executive chairman of DowDuPont, a $71 billion chemical company with hundreds of offices and manufacturing locations around the world. Ten years later, this statement continues to ring true. Around the world, fresh, Movers and clean water has become a preShakers cious commodity, and even in waAngie Hong ter-rich locations like Minnesota, businesses are realizing the importance of conserving and reusing the water we have. Within the North and East Metro Groundwater Management Area, which includes all of Ramsey and Washington and portions of Anoka and Hennepin Counties, 12 percent of all groundwater used (3.5 billion gallons per year) goes toward industrial uses. Last year, Washington County partnered with the Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP), an outreach program at the University of Minnesota, to offer free, in-depth water efficiency consultations and specially trained summer interns to help businesses implement water-saving projects. Diasorin in Stillwater was one of the businesses that participated in the program.
DiaSorin is an Italian biomedical company that produces diagnostic test kits for hospitals and private testing laboratories around the world. During 201516, the company used approximately 8.5 million gallons of water from the city of Stillwater for manufacturing and building operations. MnTAP staff found that 37 percent of the incoming water was unaccounted for, meaning they couldn’t determine how it was being used or lost. Yohanes Agustinus, a chemical engineering student at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities was selected as the MnTAP intern in 2017 to help DiaSorin identify and implement water-saving measures. During the course of his internship, Agustinus found seven potential projects, three of which were implemented by the end of the year: 1) Replacing a solenoid valve saved $6,800 and 977,600 gallons of water per year; 2) Installing a throttling flow-through vacuum pump saved $15,400 and 2.2 million gallons a year; and 3) A new on-demand vacuum system will save an additional $5,200 and 522,300 gallons a year, in addition to reducing energy use by 28,000 kWh per year. “I’ve always been passionate about pushing for a greener chemical industry,” said Agustinus, “and this program has allowed me to use my engineering skills to realize large water savings that make both economic and environmental sense.”
“This is the fi rst time that DiaSorin teamed up with MnTAP to sponsor an intern, and it was a huge success,” said Kelly Gilliland, the environmental, health and safety manager at DiaSorin. Previously, the company had worked with Washington Conservation District and Middle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization to treat and reuse stormwater runoff from their parking lot through a series of two raingardens and a stormwater pond with pump. The project captures nearly 15 pounds of phosphorus and 3,160 pounds of sediment per year, helping to protect Lily Lake downstream, and allows the company to reuse stormwater for irrigating turf and landscape plantings. MnTAP is currently accepting applications for 2018 summer internships between now and Feb. 1. With the help of a MnTAP intern, businesses will receive suggestions to improve efficiency, save money, reduce waste and material usage or decrease regulatory compliance burden. As with all of MnTAP’s projects, proprietary information at facilities is kept confidential during and after the intern project.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Senator advocating for dyslexia Sen. Roger Chamberlain's “Minnesota's broken public education system” article was specific to dyslexic children and how the education system fails them. The statistics of "how heroic the system is" has nothing to do with the issue at hand; the point is being missed. Dyslexic children are not receiving the free and appropriate education that is promised to every family/student — this is where the system is broken. Chamberlain's mission isn't to defund public education, he is advocating for the area (dyslexia) that requires attention. "He is ignoring the fact that our public education system works with a majority of the population." Chamberlain is advocating for those who are not “a majority,” students with dyslexia, up to 20 percent of the population. I wonder if those who responded might ever shadow a dyslexic student as he/she struggles daily in the current school setting? Until one experiences this type of situation, one might not have a full understanding of what occurs or where the system is broken. The Minnesota public school system failed my son. They failed to recognize his struggles with reading and comprehension with the current screening methods. My son was diagnosed with dyslexia in eighth grade, an extremely late diagnosis. My son was only diagnosed because I took him to an outside source, as the school was addressing my son's frustrations as a behavioral issue rather than a learning issue. I questioned the school why he had not been offered an assessment for special education or accommodations prior, and I was told by an administration staff that "there are many more students worse off than (my son's name)." I have an intelligent son who doesn't fit the mold of the current system and for that he is unable to shine to his full potential. Similar to the second example in Chamberlain's article, when I met with the school to discuss my son's needs, I was also disheartened to learn the school's plan did not include proven curriculum for dyslexia. They "had laws and policies to follow." Laws and policies that do not meet the need of my son, or any dyslexic student. Jackie Laine White Bear Lake
Broken school system can be fixed In response to Sen. Roger Chamberlain’s article regarding a broken (public school) system and the followup opinion letters: If our school system is doing such a great job, then
why are there new laws? These include: 1. Instructional reading to go beyond third grade 2. Schools must report their efforts to screen and identify students with dyslexia 3. Once identified: must be provided specific and alternative instruction for their brain type Minnesota has also hired a dyslexia specialist at the Department of Education. There are science-driven methods that work for the dyslexic brain. Currently, our schools seldom include them. It remains a fact that most teachers are not provided dyslexia-specific training in their own schooling. This is also usually true for administrators, reading specialists and special education. Our own White Bear Lake MCA scores dropped from 65 percent to 63.7 percent in a two-year span regarding reading proficiency. Sadly, we are not alone. How is this OK? Apparently, our government agrees with Sen. Chamberlain on this critical issue. They recognize that 20 percent of the population with dyslexia has a right to an appropriate education. This is a capable and intelligent population. Why should they be forced to struggle because of the genetic brain they were born with? Is it appropriate to demand a child learn in a way that doesn’t fit their brain type? Doesn’t it make more sense to change the instruction? It can be argued that it’s only a disability because of the system it exists in. Our system is broken and it can be fixed. One in five children may have dyslexia and five in five adults can help. Erin Florin Vadnais Heights
Step up to help public education In response to Sen. Roger Chamberlain’s letter in the Jan. 3 edition of the White Bear Press, there were several folks who wrote letters to the editor. I wonder how many of these writers had a child with a learning disability. As a parent of three children who have gone all the way through the White Bear school system, and as a grandparent of children who are currently in the school system, this is what I think. Sen. Chamberlain began by telling the stories of two students for whom the system did not work well. A reader, Susan Mielke, stated that our public education system “works” for the “majority” of the population. What about those in the minority, who include the two students mentioned, plus more than 1,000 dyslexic students in the White Bear system who
are not experiencing the success that they deserve? Studies have shown that 20 percent of students have dyslexia. This is a huge number. The “innate value” of each of our students should mandate that our school system give them the “safe and nurturing and inspiring environments” that will enable them to be successful academically. We can learn from other school systems, more successful than our own, to solve problems. There are proven solutions that are not adequately in place in White Bear. Some teachers in our White Bear schools say that they don’t have training to recognize dyslexia and that they need more training to teach in this area. Our family experienced many terrific teachers in our White Bear system, but our teachers will be even better if we can help them help more of our kids. We, the school board, and the community need to step up to help our teachers, our students and, ultimately, our community. Lenore Bolfing White Bear Lake
Come to Caucus 101 training The other evening I was out with a friend who has spent many years in politics. He asked me, “Do you know what is fascinating about caucusing in Minnesota as opposed to places like Jersey?” Having never attended a caucus before, I responded mute, so he continued. “Here in Minnesota, you can caucus and it’s as if you are immediately one of the party ‘insiders’, which is different from places like Jersey, where for many years caucusing has been largely the business of actual insiders, and they maintain some influence over things.” The 2018 Minnesota precinct caucus is on the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 6. I think I might give it a go this year, and see what the fuss is about. Maybe hang with the cool kids. It can’t be a half-bad way to spend a Tuesday evening, right? Come to think of it, maybe you should do it too. If the thought of caucusing makes you apprehensive, I know a potential cure. There will be a Caucus 101 training on Saturday, Jan. 27 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Ramsey Country Library – White Bear Lake. This event is free and open to the public with some light refreshments provided.

Man sentenced to 10 years for attempted kidnapping in Willernie BY SUZANNE LINDGREN COUNTRY MESSENGER EDITOR
A Scandia man who attempted to abduct a woman in Willernie last April has been sentenced to 10 years and five months in prison. Washington County District Judge John Hoffman sentenced Michael Grant Harker, 35, to 125 months on Jan. 16. Harker pleaded guilty in October to felony kidnapping and false imprisonment. The charges were based on a woman’s report that he’d grabbed her by the hair and tried to pull her into his van the evening of April 20, 2016. The woman told police she had
been smoking a cigarette outside her car near a Domino’s Pizza restaurant when a white van drove slowly past and the driver stared at her. The van parked across the street and the man got out. Thinking he might be upset that she was standing in a parking space to smoke, she asked him “what his deal was,” according to the police report. He grabbed her by the back of her neck, shirt and hair and began to drag her toward his van. According to the report, she began screaming and he punched her in the head. However, another woman heard the screams, saw the struggle and called law enforcement.
Meanwhile, the victim escaped from Harker’s grasp and ran across the street, still calling out for help. A nearby business surveillance video captured much of the incident. Washington County Sheriff Dan Starry has said stranger abductions are some of the most difficult cases to investigate. “We are pleased the victim was recovered on site and that no further harm came to her,” he said last April. Harker had been living in Scandia while on parole for felony strangulation and domestic assault convictions in Idaho.
PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Sheriff's office forms cold case unit Washington County Sheriff Dan Starry announced Jan. 19 the formation of a Cold Case Unit on the 30th anniversary of the day Susan Swedell went missing. The unit, formed in partnership with the county attorney's office and Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, will focus on the Swedell case. Starry made the announcement at a Friday press conference that included Swedell's younger sister Christine. Swedell was 19 when she vanished during a blizzard Jan. 19, 1988. She ended her shift at Kmart in Oak Park Heights at 9 p.m. and headed home to Lake Elmo. A gas station clerk told police the next day that her 1975 maroon Olds Cutlass overheated and Swedell had asked to leave it at the station, then got into a car with a man. That is the last anyone saw of her. Cmdr. Andy Ellickson is heading the unit looking at the cold case.
RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
Vadnais Heights • Two men engaged in working out at a County Road E fitness studio the evening of Jan. 10 began receiving calls from their banks that their credit and debit cards were at work racking up charges at Wendy’s, KFC, Super America and Target. The total loss before the cards were canceled was $106. Video footage at Target is under review. • Several neighbors called 911 in the predawn hours of Jan. 11 about a man walking through yards in the area of Greenhaven Drive and Clearbrook Lane. The “argumentative” 18-yearold was in possession of a grinder, used for processing marijuana. The grinder was confi scated by deputies and the teen told to leave the area. • A woman sitting behind the wheel in the parking lot at Walmart the afternoon of Jan. 12 was pulled from her vehicle by her hair. The hair-puller was her boyfriend who had now left the scene, the 18-year-old St. Paul woman told a deputy. The 19-year-old suspect, also from St. Paul and known to authorities, was mailed a citation for domestic assault and disorderly conduct. • A homeowner on Pondview Court called for help in the predawn hours of Jan. 13 and asked to have a man removed from his home. The disruptive 25-year-old son of the homeowner was
transported to county detox. • Icy conditions and poor visibility were blamed for numerous crashes shortly after 8 p.m. the night of Jan. 14 in the area of I-694 and Highway 61. A semi hit a squad car, as well as a Little Canada Fire Department vehicle. No one was hurt in that particular incident, although numerous other crashes with injuries were reported. • A male and female took a cab from HCMC in Minneapolis to an address in the 4200 block of Centerville Road in the predawn hours of Jan. 14. They went inside to get a credit card to pay for the $62 fare, they said, but never came out. The cabbie wasn’t quite sure which door the couple entered, so a “theft of services” citation awaits further information. The investigation continues. • Three women went behind an electronics counter at Walmart the afternoon of Jan. 15 and helped themselves to five late-model iPhones. The trio ran out of the store to the sound of security alarms, jumped into a silver sedan and fled the scene. The loss totaled $5,000; an investigation is underway.
White Bear Township • A woman in the 1300 block of Top Lane reported a beating the afternoon of Jan. 10 and deputies arrested the suspect on felony assault and misdemeanor domestic assault charges. The victim, who had an obvious black eye, was
transported to a local hospital. Deputies later learned the 29-year-old suffered five spinal fractures as well as a concussion. The couple lived together in a shed powered by car batteries. The 53-year-old suspect, who has four domestic assault convictions in the past 10 years, was locked up tighter than a canned ham. • Deputies investigating a vehicle idling for hours inside St. Mary’s Cemetery on Stillwater Street the morning of Jan. 13 found a 29-yearold man with no permanent address inside. Also in the vehicle were eight IDs from others, multiple fi nancial documents from several recent burglaries, forged checks, counterfeit checks, blank checks and an EBT card in another person’s name. Ownership of the Chrysler the man was found in was unclear, although he claimed it was his. “Everything I own is in that car,” he told deputies. The vehicle was impounded and the suspect was booked into jail on five forgery-related felony counts and an Anoka County warrant for his arrest. • A man arriving home in the 2200 block of Buffalo Street the evening of Jan. 13 saw two men run to a red pickup truck in his driveway and leave in a hurry. Going inside, the 70-year-old found his residence ransacked. Missing were several coffee cans fi lled with coins the man valued at a total of $2,500. Also missing were several sports tickets for the Twins, Vikings and Timberwolves to win their championships. The Vikings ticket, good for winning the Super Bowl, was purchased for $20.

Township names names for annual duties BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The White Bear Town Board is getting its affairs in order. The board held its yearly organizational meeting on Jan. 17 to make official town appointments. Reappointed were Bob Kermes, Town Board chair, Ed Prudhon, vice-chair, Bill Short, clerk / treasurer and Tom Kelly, finance officer and deputy treasurer. Township officials appointments included Mike Johnson as building official, code enforcement officer and compliance official; Harry Crump as hearing officer; Bill Short for economic development coordinator; Dale Reed as public works director; Tom Riedesel as town planner; Greg Peterson as fire marshal and fire chief; and Tom Riedesel and Pete Tholen as assistant weed and tree inspectors. “Townships have a unique requirement to have appointed weed and tree inspectors,” Kermes said. “That’s not something you see in every community in the state.” The board also appointed Chad Lemmons as town attorney, Jim Studenski as town engineer, Caroline Beckman as town prosecutor, Chris Knopik as town auditor and Mario Lee as animal control officer. The White Bear Press was also designated as the official town newspaper. “It’ll give you something to fall asleep to,” Prudhon joked. Luckily, he was referring to the public notices and not the rest of the newspaper. In other action at the meeting, the board: • Approved a contract with Deb Stender for $5,500 for her services in organizing the annual Township Day, which will be held Sept. 8. The contract also includes $250 per movie for organizing movies in the park. • Approved a quote for televising sanitary sewer lines in the amount of $6,028, submitted by Visu-Sewer. Funding is from the sewer operating fund. • Approved a labor agreement with unionized operating engineers and a nonunion cost of living adjustment. The nonunion adjustment is a salary increase of 2 percent in January 2018, 2019 and 2020 and a 1.5 percent increase in July 2018, 2019 and 2020. • Approved the consent agenda, which included not recognizing Columbus Day as an observed holiday and recognizing the Friday after Thanksgiving as a holiday.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — The City Council took the following action at its Jan. 16 meeting: • Discussed the 2017 Street Improvement Program, which includes Dahlia and Hickory streets as well as the Glendale Park Detention Basin. City Engineer John Sachi discussed a proposal to discharge stormwater into the existing detention pond in Glendale Park as part of the project. This additional project was proposed due to the inability to obtain easements over existing drainage areas on Dahlia Street from property owners. An alternative solution was proposed to handle stormwater runoff from Dahlia Street via a pipe down Warner Avenue. Council directed staff to proceed with only the Hickory Street portion of the project and postpone the Dahlia Street portion. Staff will once again try to negotiate with homeowners to ultimately resolve water drainage issues on the street. • Discussed the Briarwood Area Improvements/Quail Street project along with a possible pedestrian access. Sachi addressed comments received at the public improvement hearing held in December regarding the pedestrian access for the overall project. Council directed the engineer to proceed with overall improvements as planned and to create a wider, 3- to 4-foot shoulder on the western side of Quail Street and a smaller traffic lane width of 11 feet. Council elected not to move forward with a separate trail or walkway project at this time. Those improvements would be planned as a future project, Sachi said. • Heard a presentation from Jerry Hromatka of Northeast Youth and Family Services (NYFS), which provides mental health and community services to some 4,000 youth, families and seniors throughout the northeast metro. With an annual budget of $3.3 million,

NYFS will receive $15,840 from Mahtomedi in 2018 as part of the city's annual contribution. • Approved a request from St. Jude of the Lake Church, 700 Mahtomedi Ave., to hold a gambling activity and sell beer and wine during Turkey Bingo, scheduled for Feb. 3. • Scheduled the Board of Equalization meeting for 5-6 p.m. Wednesday, April 11. • Approved equipment purchases by the Public Works Department for 2018. The department will buy a 2018 Mack single-axle dump truck chassis along with equipment and accessories for the truck for a total cost of $213,555, to be procured through the state bidding contract. The city also bought a 2018 Toro Grandstand 60-inch mower for $4,000 after trading in the old mower. • Approved a change order in the amount of $21,360 for the Hamline Lake Streetcar Trail improvements. The increased costs occurred as a result of poor underlying soil that had to be removed and replaced after paving took place. • Rescheduled the Feb. 6 council meeting to 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 5, due to political caucuses scheduled on the night of the regular meeting.

Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists has plans to build a 13,000-square foot medical office building between Walmart and Summit Orthopedics.
Ear, nose, throat specialist squeezes into vacant spot BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
VADNAIS HEIGHTS — An ear, nose and throat specialist is planning to squeeze onto a narrow strip of land between Walmart and Summit Orthopedics near I-35E and County Road E. Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists (ENT) plans to build a 13,000-square-foot medical office building on 9 acres of land between the frontage road by Walmart and Summit Orthopedic's parking lot. A public hearing was held and a special use per-
mit and site plan were approved by the City Council at a Jan. 23 meeting. Setback reductions were granted to the company. No issues with increased traffic would be expected, said City Planner Nolan Wall. The area has 79 trees that would be taken down for construction; 42 trees and various plants would be added, which meet the minimum requirements for greenery. The company's Executive Director Tony Benusa said it would comply with Planning Commission requests for signage to be 15 percent of the building's outside area. The company has plans for several signs for its four service lines.
Benusa explained the company offers service lines with related products, including allergy and asthma products, cosmetic skin care products and hearing aids. He said the company competes with Walmart and Costco for medical products. Five doctors would work out of the clinic, according to city documents. Midwest ENT also has locations in Woodbury, Eagan and Maplewood, according to its website. “We are really excited to have you guys here,” said Mayor Bob Fletcher to representatives from the company at the meeting. “We like the fact that we are a little medical niche up here in the northeast.”
TRAIL IMPASSE: Homeowner sued FROM PAGE 1A
The city acknowledged there was a problem with the developer failing to properly record the easement in 1992, but provided the development agreement to the court that indicates an 8-foot walkway between Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, in Wildridge Pines 2nd Addition. Those lots are 969 and 970 Pineview Court. The agreement with the developer states that a separate pedestrian access easement document shall be prepared and recorded with the second addition plat. It further stated that upon completion of the work, the improvements lying within public easements shall become city property and that the agreement runs with the land. The city believes failure to record the pedestrian access easement by the developer does not negate the easement established by terms of the agreement.

ed a safe link between two neighborhoods. When it was suddenly removed by heavy equipment Sept. 22, nearby residents wondered who gave the property owner at 970 Pineview Court authority to remove the trail. Dennis Sonnek, who lives with his wife Mary Ellen at 969 Pineview Court, had told the City Council Oct. 5 that the attorney representing Verzhbitska-Radzills thought Sonnek was being done a favor by

the new landscaping that replaced the trail. His response was any added value meant less to him than the sense of shared community and interaction created by the trail. The Sonneks, by the way, are named as defendants in the civil suit since the city is claiming a prescriptive easement over their lot. The city is asking the court to declare that the development agreement and recorded plat established a 20-foot pedestrian access easement that runs with the land and is binding upon the owners of Lots 3 and 4. The court is also asked to award damages to the plaintiff as a result of Verzhbitska-Radzills' destruction of property. Verzhbitska-Radzills responded with counterclaims of her own after the initial complaint. The resident alleges the trail was illegal with respect to subsequent owners and a trespass on her property. Any easement rights claimed by the plaintiff, wrote her attorney Eric Johnson, were “extinguished by operation of the recording statutes when Verzhbitska-Radzills acquired her property on or about Nov. 20, 2015.” She also believes no permission was required to remove the bituminous trail and wants the city to reimburse her $3,000 for the work. Furthermore, attorney Johnson wrote, if the plaintiff prevails and
the court makes a fi nding that the plaintiff has acquired a claimed prescriptive easement through continuous trespass, such acquisition of property rights is a government taking, with compensation due the defendant for the diminution of her property value. Verzhbitska-Radzills also claimed the city has engaged in a pattern of trespass on her property and harassment, including numerous instances in which city staff observed and/or photographed the defendant, in addition to removal and/or destruction of Verzhbitska-Radzills ' personal property; namely property markers and surveyor monuments. According to the attorney, the city is retaliating against Verzhbitska-Radzills for asserting her property rights and trying to intimidate her from defending her actions. For that, she asked the court for an order or injunction against the city and for “just and equitable” relief. The city, in turn, denied the defendant's allegations in her counterclaims in a Jan. 8 court document and puts to her “strict burden of proof.” District Court Judge William Ekstrum is handling the case. No hearing date has been set. Karlovich expects a court date to be scheduled sometime next summer, at best. “Litigation moves slowly,” he noted.

VOLUNTEERS: Job requires 24/7 commitment FROM PAGE 1A
They look for people who are friendly and outgoing, have a love for Minnesota, and hospitality experience, Kehoe said. About 90 percent of the volunteers are from Minnesota. The rest are people from out of state who just enjoy volunteering Super Bowl week. Kehoe’s event planning experience started at much smaller gigs. After graduating from the University of Colorado with a business administration degree, she worked two years in human resources for several Vail ski resorts. At the suggestion of a tennis partner, she applied and got a position managing 2,200 volunteers at the 2015 Alpine World Ski Championships. “That’s when I knew I wanted to do this the rest of my life,” Kehoe recalled. That experience led to the Super Bowl 50 manager’s job overseeing 6,000 volunteers in San Francisco and the leap to 10,000 at Super Bowl 52 in Minneapolis. In between Super Bowls, she worked as staff and venue manager at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, a connection she made in San Francisco. That experience was “amazing,” Kehoe said. Her staff all spoke Portuguese, so she had translators as well as security that escorted her to and from the hotel. She was working for a marketing firm catering to VISA executives. Does she feel like she has the best job in the world? “It’s very stressful; but I love working with people of all ages,” Kehoe replied. “It is tough to answer the same questions over and over with a smile on your face even though it’s the 10,000th time you’ve answered the same question.” It’s also tough moving every couple of years, but Kehoe is young and finds the challenge of a new city exciting. “I’ve learned to be a light packer,” she added. She does return home to Mahtomedi when she can and friends and family go to visit her.
Kehoe’s parents, Connie and Mike Kehoe, are among the Super Bowl volunteers. “They are my gophers,” said their daughter. “The other day they cleaned my office, helped me fold and distribute uniforms and greet people.” Her dad introduced her to the volunteer sporting industry when she was 4, Kehoe said. “He volunteered at golf tournaments in Florida every year and we’d go with him.” Both have similar hobbies. Kehoe loves football and plays just about every sport, including hockey, softball, volleyball, downhill skiing, golf and tennis. Will she get to watch the Sunday game? “I don’t know yet. We don’t have volunteers inside the stadium on game day.” She does know that her crews are primed. After five years in the event planning business, the detail-oriented Kehoe has the logistics down to a science. “We’ve been planning for this a year and a half,” she maintained. “We’re ready.” She knows she’s lucky to have a job she loves. “I put my heart and soul into my job,” she said. “The long hours can be taxing, but I know there’s an end in sight, that I’m not working 12 hours a day for the rest of my life. “I’m motivated every single day. I have 10,000 people counting on me. The volunteers all keep me going. I always say I have the best co-workers in the world. They want to be here. They have the same passions I do.” Post Super Bowl Feb. 5, Kehoe will finish up reports, pay bills and clean up the volunteer center at host committee offices in U.S. Bank Plaza. She’ll take a few months off to travel and work two shorter jobs: the San Francisco Pride Festival and a New York golf tournament. Then it’s on to Miami in August to a new apartment and a new boss to start working on Super Bowl 2020.

Kehoe is responsible for interviewing and recruiting thousands of volunteers for the Super Bowl. The number was 6,000 for Super Bowl 50.

Preventing frozen pipes
Three Republicans seeking Dean’s House seat So far, three people have registered their campaign committees with the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board for the District 38B seat held by Rep. Matt Dean. Dean is relinquishing his Minnesota House seat in his run for governor. The candidates include: • Former State Auditor Pat Anderson. A Republican, Anderson was elected state auditor in 2002. She lost a re-election bid to the current state auditor, Democrat Rebecca Otto, in 2006 and again in 2010. She lives in Dellwood. • Retired Marine Corps Major Lori Ahlness. The White Bear Lake resident is a retired military veteran and lifelong volunteer who is seeking the Republican nomination. She is also an educator with experience from preschool to high school and a board member of the Disabled Veterans Rest Camp Association. Ahlness said she’s proud to have led the vision to bring the 90-year-old camp on Big Marine Lake to a quality venue that serves more than 17,000 guests a year. • Kenneth Swecker, a Hugo Republican who has lived in the White Bear area for nearly 10 years. He worked at the Minnesota State Senate from 2006 to 2016, with six years as legislative assistant for current Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka. In his last session at the Senate, Swecker assisted in reforming Minnesota’s tax laws by allowing military retirees to subtract their state income taxes. He has a degree in automation robotics engineering technology and currently works in the industrial automation technical industry. Debra Neutkens
This winter’s sustained cold temperatures have the potential to drive the frost depth down deeper than usual in White Bear Lake. Public Works provided these cold weather tips to avoid unnecessary expenses resulting from frozen water pipes: • Prevent pipes from freezing. When your tap water is below 35 degrees, temporarily keep a trickle of water running from the faucet located highest in the house. The trickle should be a steady stream, about the size of the lead in a pencil. If your pipes freeze, contact Public Works at (651) 7473650 for a list of contractors that can assist with thawing your pipes. • Insulate exposed pipes and faucets. Insulate faucets and pipes in cold locations (ga-
rages, crawls spaces, outdoors) with newspapers or rags, then cover insulation with plastic and tie with a string or wire. Or apply electric heat tape to exposed pipes. If your water line freezes, follow these steps: • Never thaw frozen pipes with an open fl ame – you could start a fi re. • Use heat lamps, electric heaters, or a hair dryer with caution. Keep away from combustible materials. • Wrap frozen pipes with rags or towels and pour hot water over them until the water is flowing again. If a pipe breaks, immediately shut off the main water valve to stop the flow of water and call your plumber.

LOOKING BACK Week of January 21-27, 2018 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1918 A few of the citizens of White Bear met in the council chamber Monday evening, Jan. 21st, and organized a local branch of the America First Association. The meeting was called to order by Geo H. Reif. He outlined briefly the aims and objectives of the association. 1943 Fire Friday noon destroyed the farm helper’s residence on the Dr. Plondke farm in Bellaire, formerly the old Johnson home. The fire had gained such headway that firemen were unable to save that building, but the Doctor’s large residence and barns and other buildings were saved through a hard fight. Both of the department tanks were exhausted and the big tank was sent back to White Bear for filling. In the meantime a bucket brigade was formed and kept the booster tank going until the big tank returned. The origin of the fire is supposed to have been defective wiring. 1968 Following a legal opinion by Ramsey County Attorney William B. Randall Monday, publishers of legal and financial proceedings of Ramsey County during 1968 have been chosen. The White Bear Press, designated as “the official newspaper for publication of said Financial Statement” and publisher of delinquent real estate taxes (1967), was awarded contracts by the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners January 9th. 1993 City and White Bear Township officials have agreed to patch up differences that were putting a proposed $500,000

bike trail paid for with state funds in jeopardy. The biking and hiking trail— part of a regional trail plan—has been in the planning stages for many months. Linking South Birch Lake Boulevard to Tamarack Nature Center, the trail would cut through both city and township property. 2008 Local pucksters looking for extra practice time and a competitive edge don’t have to go far this winter thanks to a new program sponsored by the White Bear Youth Hockey Association. Jim Boyd, the association’s president grew up playing pick-up games at local rinks
in the 1960s and ‘70s. Wanting to encourage more of today’s youngsters to do the same, he came up with a “Rink Rats” program. Any youth hockey player who logs 50 hours playing pick-up games at any outdoor rink, pond or lake gets a “Rink Rat” T-shirt. Looking Forward to the Past Upcoming Historical Society Events White Bear: A Village is Born! Ramsey County Library-White Bear Lake Branch, 2150 Second St., White Bear Lake Monday, Feb. 26 6 - 7 p.m. In February of 1881 the Village of White Bear was officially incorporated.
Join us to learn why, what the community looked like at that time and who was involved in setting the foundation of what would eventually become the City of White Bear Lake. FREE event but donations are welcome. This project was funded in part or in whole with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota’s art and cultural heritage. Presented by the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society in partnership with the Ramsey County Library-White Bear Lake.

Clean water grant will help protect Birch Lake WHITE BEAR LAKE — The Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) announced that the Birch Lake Protection Project has been awarded a $97,000 grant from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources through the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. Stormwater sampling revealed that an existing wetland northeast of Birch Lake is not operating at an optimum level. While the wetland would naturally serve to capture contaminants and reduce incoming nutrients into the lake, VLAWMO staff has documented high levels of phosphorus leaving the wetland. Reducing these phosphorus levels would help protect Birch Lake’s water quality and reduce nutrients that fuel algae in the lake.
To do this, the project will install more storage capacity for incoming stormwater, which will allow the wetland to infiltrate the water more efficiently. Additionally, an iron-enhanced sand filtration system will treat a portion of the water before it reaches the lake. VLAWMO worked closely with the city of White Bear Lake and the Birch Lake Improvement District (BLID) in the initial planning of the project. VLAWMO staff will now work with the state to finalize grant paperwork and reach out to landowners and other stakeholders for their input regarding this project. “Birch Lake is an important natural resource in our area. For a shallow lake surrounded by development, it’s a rare occurrence to have a water body in
such a clean water state,” said Nick Voss, VLAWMO education and outreach coordinator. “The Legacy funding allows us to accelerate our work to protect the lake and keep it resilient should any future challenges arise.” BLID President Dale Bacon added that “nutrient control is a critical part of the Birch Lake Sustainable Lake Management Plan, and this project does just that. We look forward to partnering with VLAWMO and the city of White Bear Lake for this project.” The project will begin in 2018. Press release
Village gets a roof with help from Rotary With the support of several metro clubs, the White Bear Rotary Club is coming up with money to help a small village in Costa Rica that it befriended several years ago. The White Bear Club has raised $15,000 — or 85 percent of the costs to build a roof over a community center in Rancho Quemado, on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. Several local Rotarians have visited the village over the past three years, and work on the community center was identified by leaders there as the top priority. The White Bear club and seven local clubs raised the money, which includes $6,000 in matching dollars from The Rotary Foundation. Rancho Quemado will raise the balance needed to fi nish the project. Construction of the roof will allow the community to meet together during Costa Rica’s rainy season, and will help spur the economy in the village. A women’s group already has requested use of the covered space to hold an open-air market during the rainy period. Submitted

Back from Moscow with a little gold, duo rejoins Bears BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
When Calla Frank and Sydney Shearen returned from their grand hockey adventure in Moscow on Sunday, Jan. 14, all their White Bear Lake teammates were gathered at the airport to welcome them back. “It was an experience of a lifetime,” Shearen said, “but it's always nice to get back to family and friends back home. That includes my teammates and coaches who have been very supportive through the whole process.” The two White Bear Lake juniors from Hugo were among 23 members of the Team USA 18-and-under women’s team — they earned their spots in months of tryouts last spring and summer — that won six games in Moscow to capture the USA’s fourth consecutive International Ice Hockey SUBMITTED

Federation championship. “It does not get much better,” said Bears coach Jerry Kwapick, “than representing your country in a game you love, and have played virtually your entire life. We were vey happy and proud of both Syd and Calla.” Their teammates assembled to watch the televised gold medal game, a 9-3 win over Sweden. For their arrival home, the teammates had a card signed by all of them, along with players of all ages from their recent White Bear Lake Girls Hockey Day. The local girls were backups on the team, which included 10 Minnesotans. Frank was in goal for only one game, a 5-3 win over Russia. Shearen had minutes in every game, and got in the box score once, an assist in the fi nals against Sweden. “It was a power play, and I had the puck, and found an open (defenseman) and passed it to her, and she fed Britta (Curl) for the goal,” Shearen recounted.

Celebrating the return of their two Team USA members, White Bear Lake girls hockey got back in the win column twice, defeating Spring Lake Park 4-0 and Woodbury 7-3 last week.

The Bears outshot Spring Lake Park 48-14 with Claudia Verkerke punching in two goals and Jillian Moor and Sydney Shearen one each. Abigail DeLaRosa made two assists. Against Woodbury, the Bears got two goals each from Shearen, DeLaRosa and Ashley Healy and one from Verkerke.

Bears’ late burst falls short against Raiders in duel for hockey lead BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
In the duel for the conference hockey lead, the White Bear Lake boys started and fi nished strong but Cretin-Derham Hall dominated in between and beat the Bears 5-4 Saturday, Jan. 20. The No. 6-ranked Raiders got five straight goals from five different players to take a 5-2 lead. The No. 7-ranked Bears still trailed by three going into the fi nal three minutes. Chase Hamstad gave them a fighting chance by scoring with 2:15 left and again with 32 seconds left. “Give credit to Cretin as they worked extremely hard, but we did not execute against the forecheck they were using,” Bear coach Tim Sager said. “We should of been up three or four goals in the fi rst period, but we did not fi nish on our chances, and when you don’t, you give the other team a chance.” The Bears and Raiders were both unbeaten in the Suburban East entering this afternoon game at Highland Arena in St. Paul. No other team
has less than three losses. They tied 1-1 in their fi rst meeting Dec. 9. The Raiders are 9-0-1, the Bears 9-1-1, with Stillwater next at 6-3. The conference has a 16-game schedule. Max Jennrich got the Bears (12-3-2 overall) on the board 12 seconds after face-off. Austin Carroll made it 2-0 in the second period. Both goals were assisted by Hamstad, who had a four-point game. Cretin-Derham Hall (14-2-1) counter-punched mightily with Joe Gimberlin, Grayson Milsoch, Zach Brydges, Joe Buckingham and Michael Kramer beating goalie Evan Foss. “Great learning experience for our team,” Sager said. “We just need to continue to get better in our systems for the stretch drive and the playoffs.” On Tuesday, the Bears nipped Forest Lake 3-2 with Hamstad, Jennrich and Jake Klein scoring while Spencer Millard made two assists and Stephen Uremovich stopped 14 shots.

The Zephyrs, 5-6 at one point, went on a 7-1-1 run in their next nine games, capped by a 3-1 win over South St. Paul last Tuesday, tying the Packers for second place in the conference. The Zephyrs (12-8-1) then lost to Stillwater 3-2 in a non-conference game Thursday. Two power play goals, by Allie Franco and Megan Johnson, keyed the win over the Packers, and an empty-netter by Anna Broten closed the scoring. Backup goalie Lauren Hamme stopped 26 shots. The Zephyrs have no star scorer but 14 players
have found the net, led by Kylie Krawczyk with nine goals, Franco and Broten with seven each and Emme Nelson with six. Franco has 15 assists for a team-leading 21 points. Mahtomedi beat Hudson, Buffalo, International Falls, Roseville, Henry Sibley, Simley and South St. Paul in the 7-1-1 stretch, losing to Hill-Murray (17-3) by 5-1 and tying Thief River Falls 2-2.

To the first installment shall be added interest on the entire assessment from the date of the assessment resolution until December 31, 2018. To each subsequent installment when due shall be added interest for one year on all unpaid installments. You may at any time prior to certification of the assessment to the county auditor, pay the entire assessment on such property, with interest accrued to the date of payment, to the City of Birchwood Village. No interest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid within 30 days from the adoption of this assessment.

Local pilgrim walks Camino Trail BY JULIE KINK CONTRIBUTING WRITER
“How did you spend your vacation?” White Bear Lake Realtor Laurie Berg has a unique answer: she and travel buddy Bonnie Retterath walked more than 275 miles across northern Spain. They walked a portion of the Camino de Santiago, an ancient route that pilgrims from all over the world have traveled for more than 1,000 years to pay homage at the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, where the apostle Saint James is said to be buried. Walkers and bicyclists from all over the world undertake the pilgrimage, drawn by religious conviction, a desire to experience the culture and history of ancient times, or both. On its deepest levels, the journey is an invitation to answer the age-old calling, “Rise up and leave your home,” as the pilgrims did, to connect with fellow travelers and experience spiritual growth and renewal. “A friend walked the Camino a few years ago and I knew it was something I needed to do,” Berg said. Some routes start in France, others at different places in Spain; Berg and Retterath trekked through northern Spain from Pamplona in the northeast, to Santiago, which is close to the west coast. They walked more than 275 miles, taking a bus or train only twice, and completed their journey in 28 days (the guidebook recommends 35 days). She said the route was well marked by shells in the pavement and on buildings, and yellow arrows painted everywhere. There are clinics to help pilgrims with sprains and blisters, she added. Along the way, they stayed at hostels usually costing 10 euros ($12) for a bunk bed, pillow and a shared bathroom. Most hostels provide an area to hand wash clothes and hang them to dry, she explained. A typical day started around 6 a.m., on the walk by 7 a.m., walking 10-15 miles and fi nding the next night’s hostel by 1 p.m. “We would shower and wash clothes, then explore the village, making sure to note where the path was for the next morning. Sometimes we would stop for lunch along the way, visit churches and historic buildings, and get groceries for the next day,” Berg said. “Some hostels offered a community supper where you have great conversations with pilgrims from all over the world. For 10 euros each, the resident chef would fi x a three-course meal that was always delicious and always included wine. Most of us were in bed by 9 or 10 p.m.”
In the Middle Ages, pilgrims were given a Credencial, or accreditation document, as a safeguard. Today, cathedral authorities in Santiago require that pilgrims carry the Credencial or “pilgrim passport” which entitles them to stay at hostels along the way. The official Credencial is distributed and accepted by the Office of Pilgrimages of the Diocese of Santiago. Its pages contain boxes for stamps collected at stops along the route such as hostels, parish churches, monasteries, cathedrals and other places. It serves as certification for the Compostela, the traditional Latin certificate of pilgrimage, which is granted only to those who declare a spiritual or religious motivation and who travel at least the last 100 kilometers on foot or horseback (or cycle the last 200 km). In September, the month that Berg and Retterath traveled the Camino, 42,000 pilgrims were received at the Office of Pilgrimages; slightly more than half were women. Most were on foot, though more than 3,000 made the trek on bicycle, 25 on horseback, and 21 by wheelchair, according to the Office of Pilgrimages. For those who travel it, the simplicity of the journey and the closeness to nature often provide insight to life’s deeper realities and the resolve to be a better person. While walking in the footsteps of the faithful can be a life-changing experience, walking for hundreds of miles requires careful preparation. Berg advises anyone considering the pilgrimage to do a lot of research and walking, and keep their backpack under 15 pounds. “You’ll add more with food and water once you start walking,” she said. “You really only need one or two sets of clothing besides what you’re wearing. Use a small backpack, otherwise you’ll be tempted to take things you won’t need.” Berg said she was surprised at how peaceful and quiet the Camino was. “Many times we were walking alone,” she said. “I realized how much I enjoy walking, even on the more rugged trails and hills, and how easy it is to converse with people without speaking the same language. The Spanish people are very friendly and helpful. The scenery was beautiful every day.” She recommended these websites for those who want to learn more: Wise Pilgrim (great information on albergues - hostels) www.wisepilgrim.com Confraternity of Saint James www.csj.org

New fixtures will be lighting up city streets No longer will light encroach into yards and windows from old-fashioned lamps that line White Bear streets. Instead, residential streetlights will be equipped with LED (light-emitting diode) technology that reduces glare and focuses light directly downward. Starting mid-February, Xcel Energy crews will be changing out about 700 bulbs in the city and 200 bulbs in the township. There will be no cost to the municipalities. Xcel's LED Manager Bob Schommer explains that existing fi xtures have more “trespass” in the way areas are illuminated. “Light from high-pressure sodium, or Cobra head-style bulbs, spill excessive yellowish-orange light away from the street and into yards and windows,” Schommer said. “LEDs have a more efficient pattern that shoots light directly on the area to be lit.” Existing street poles are not being moved, so corners and mid-block areas between lights that are unlit now will remain that way, he added. LED fi xtures are durable, lasting 50 to 60 years, and use 50 percent
less energy, according to the Xcel spokesperson. The energy company has changed close to 90,000 lights in the state since starting the program in 2016. Schommer added that each city is contacted fi rst about its preference and can opt out. There is a 3 to 5 percent savings on the monthly bill, he added. White Bear Lake Public Works Director Mark Burch agreed that LED lighting is less expensive to operate and will reduce the city’s street lighting cost. “On a personal note, I like the appearance of the new lights,” he said. The LED street lighting also meets dark sky requirements, meaning no light shines above the fi xture. Dark sky is a designation given to outdoor lighting fi xtures that meet the International Dark Sky Association's requirements for reducing ambient light. Schommer expects the retrofit to take three weeks.

A cold start to last week’s workweek gave way to a nice January thaw from Thursday to Sunday, with 3 of those 4 days in the 40’s. The thaw allowed folks to get out and enjoy activities around town, plus cleared many area streets and driveways of snow and ice. The clear streets and driveways were short-lived, as snow returned on Monday as we returned to work after a Viking NFC Championship loss. Could it get any worse? The cold following this latest snow doesn’t look nearly as bitter as the previous Arctic cold snaps.

Surviving a home renovation Homeowners invest large sums into improving their homes to make them more comfortable living spaces or to increase their odds of selling quickly. The Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University predicted U.S. spending on home renovations and repairs to peak at $327 billion in 2017. Whether one is doing a large renovation or a small remodel, life may be turned upside down during the project. Furniture may be moved out of the room, walls may be demolished, water or electricity may be turned off, and appliances may be missing or not hooked up. Home improvements often drum up dust and disarray. Such projects can try the patience of any homeowner, and things may get worse before they get better. Even though remodeling can be taxing, the end result is often worth it. Here’s how to look forward to the silver lining and come out unscathed. Discuss the project before it starts. All family members should be in agreement before the first hammer is swung. Decide on as many details as you can ahead of time and have a firm plan in place. Establish back-up choices for tiles or color schemes in case the items you want are out of stock. Trying to make decisions under duress may result in bad choices. Do one project at a time. It’s tempting to want to improve as much as possible at once to maximize motivation and renovation materials. However, having no place in which to escape the mess can elevate stress levels. Do not think about renovating kitchens and bathrooms all at once, or you will not have any working fixtures for tasks like washing up. Have everything in place … Before demolition even begins, have building materials bought and stored, contractors and subcontractors lined up, and see what you can do to minimize the time workers need to spend in your home. … but expect delays. In a world where things move at lightning speeds, renovations have not gotten the memo. Home projects take lots of time and will likely take longer if you are doing the work yourself in your free time. Build lots of extra time into the project so you are not disappointed when delays happen — even when you’ve done your best to avoid them. Plan an escape zone. Construction environments can be messy, loud, smelly, and a host of other unsavory adjectives. The chaos that ensues when life is turned upside down can be overwhelming, particularly for the person who spends the most time in the home while work is being done. Build escape moments into the plan and make sure everyone else at home is on board. During the real grind of the project, a night or two at a hotel may be a welcome respite.
