Pastor Ralph Talbot and parishioner Peggy Parenteau demonstrate the Ash Wednesday ritual of applying specially prepared ashes in the form of a cross at St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church in White Bear Lake. Signaling the beginning of the holy season of Lent, the ashes represent death and repentance. BY ELIZABETH CALLEN SHOREVIEW EDITOR
This Wednesday, you may see some people donning black, cross-shaped smudges on their foreheads while going about their day. That's because Feb. 26 is Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent, a solemn season some Christians observe in the six weeks leading up to Easter. Not all Christians observe Lent or practice the ashen cross ritual. In the U.S., Lent and Ash Wednesday are traditionally observed by Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists and Presbyterians. The six weeks of Lent correspond
to the 40 days Jesus is said to have spent fasting in the Judaean Desert after his baptism. It is traditionally a time of penance, prayer and abstinence, making it a stark contrast to the joyous celebrations of Easter Sunday. In some Christian denominations, people will commit to giving up certain pleasures or luxuries, such as social media or alcohol, or add a spiritual discipline, such as daily devotional readings, for the duration of Lent. In the Catholic Church, every person 14 years or older is asked to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent. The ashes used in Ash Wednes-
day services often come from the burning of palms blessed during the previous year's Palm Sunday, the day before Easter, which marks Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem prior to his crucifixion. In the Bible, worshippers welcomed Jesus into the city by waving palm fronds as he rode in on a donkey. Today, churchgoers carry palms in commemoration. Those palms are later burned and their ashes stored for the next year's Ash Wednesday service, when they are usually mixed with either Holy Water or oil. The imposition of ashes each Ash

Dance party helps keep Bear Boating afloat BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER
About 1,600 people were treated to free excursions on White Bear Lake last year thanks to Bear Boating. The nonprofit, run by volunteers, takes seniors, active duty military, veterans and the disabled fishing and boating on the lake every summer. It relies on donations to cover costs like fuel, insurance, life jackets and tackle. Every spring, a chunk of revenue comes from the popular “fun-draiser” at the Armory. “It always sells out,” said Peg Black, Bear Boating’s
fundraising committee chair. “I’ve had people say, ‘You put on the social event of the year.’” The band Free and Easy returns this year. Black said the band is a huge draw in the area and “everyone loves to dance to them.” All proceeds from the event benefit Bear Boating, which has had a presence on White Bear Lake for at least a decade. More than 70 volunteers operate the excursions, taking guests fishing and cruising. One of the pontoon captains, Dave Ryan, figures those who choose to dangle a line catch and release
IF YOU GO: BEAR BOATING ‘FUN-DRAISER’ Bear Boating is holding its annual spring “Fun-draiser” and dance from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday, March 21, at the White Bear Lake Armory. Live music will be provided by Free and Easy with cash bar and silent and live auctions. Admission is $15. Tickets must be ordered online at bearboating.org. Click on the fundraising tab. Proceeds benefit the nonprofit.

So, we recommend talking to your dental office prior to the first visit, to go over what the office will try to accomplish. Above all else, we want this visit to go well and be a positive, educational experience. Special “first visit” books, puppets, videos and child sized chairs are utilized as necessary to help develop trust and comfort for the child. We do as much diagnostically as we can, while keeping it upbeat for the child and parent. The appointment is reviewed, recommendations made, and the next visit set up and most importantly, we want the little one to leave with a big smile!

A great question for this February, which is Children’s Dental Health Month! The ADA recommends the first visit happen between the ages of 1 and 2. Of course, hopefully conversations with the family’s doctor and dentist have been occurring before, during and after the pregnancy, to help ensure good dental homecare and nutrition. Baby teeth are important for chewing, speaking, socialization, and holding space for the adult teeth. Parent’s participation is especially important for the child’s first 7 years.

A new decade
uring the past 10 years we have seen changes I would never have expected. The following are a number of items that come to mind. I’m sure the next decade will see technology advancing again, changing our daily lives. Smart phones got smarter, and I didn’t keep up like my children. Families can know instantly where every member is located geographically. Flip phones are coming back. Cameras can monitor your home, workplace, car, boat and vacation property. They can monitor temperatures, open and close garage doors, unlock doors and turn lights off and on. Cars have become so sophisticated that drivers have to take hours of instruction at the dealer to learn about all the instruments and benefits. Some auto manufacturers have begun simplifying the technology. Credit cards and electronic pay services have almost made cash unnecessary. cabins have reduced About the theAirplane size of the seats. Some airlines have begun to nickel and Town dime for everything from seat Gene Johnson selection to carry on bags. The growth of service animals with airline passengers may result in making the last rows into a kennel area. More and more restaurants have stopped taking reservations to avoid having open tables. Hamburgers without beef have arrived with vegetable alternatives and are surprisingly tasty. In the last decade we have seen grocery stores expand their deli sections with prepared foods. Restaurants now provide a multitude of take-out menus. Local breweries grew rapidly all over the country, even in small towns. Event centers are used for weddings and funerals. Some funeral homes feature bars for celebrations of life. The use of opioids has reached a crisis in the country which affects all ages. Addiction can happen in as little as five days. College and university tuition has increased faster than family incomes, which in part has ballooned the college debt. We have to recognize the value of the vocational schools, which provide training for our service occupations. Not everyone needs a liberal arts degree. Health and medical services have advanced due to research programs by medical institutions, drug companies and our universities. On the other hand, medical insurance costs and drug costs have soared. Outpatient surgery centers are eliminating expensive hospital care. Health organizations and insurance companies are looking more to the bottom line and placing less emphasis on the patients. Marijuana and CBD are now marketed publicly. Vaping is resulting in increased lung disease. We are in a serious time of labor shortages, which is starting to curtail business and manufacturing growth. The internet has had a major impact on news services. This is a threat to our democracy and flow of accurate news and information. Amazon and online retailers have also had a negative effect on traditional retail business, malls and all types of brick and mortar stores. Electric cars have been accepted, and batteries now provide 500 or more miles between charges. This could soon put the combustion engine in second place. World trade agreements could very well be the next major benefit for our economy from agriculture to manufacturing. The list goes on and on. The last decade has clearly demonstrated a rapid increase in knowledge. Perhaps this is the best time in history to be alive. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.
Listening to and learning from student voices
I
t is an exciting time as students are literally designing and leading their own futures in White Bear Lake Area Schools. Student voice and agency has been a primary focus since the 2017-18 school year, when more than 200 students, families, staff and community members came together to shape the district’s future. Out of the important conversations came a new mission statement and a strategic plan that puts students first. The phrase “Students who design and create Movers & their own future” is listed as the first Shakers distinguishing feature in the Wayne A. District mission Kazmierczak statement. Fittingly, the first strategy of the strategic plan reads “We will ensure that each student is the primary agent in their learning.” The direction provided by the mission and strategic plan continues to guide our work and conversations. During one such conversation, an important definition was agreed upon as it relates to our direction. Student agency was defined as “students lead their learning.” Key components of students being primary agents in their learning are flexibility, partnership between educators and learners, hands-on experiential learning and connection
elements moving forward through district-wide facilities projects that will be happening in the coming years. Student leadership groups are highlighting the importance of student stories, with Sunrise Park Middle School student leaders hoping to impact their school community through a storytelling initiative. Stories are also being told through events that showcase student talent. White Bear Lake Area High School’s Black Excellence Club is hosting a Black History Month Showcase encouraging student voice through cultural dances, skits, speeches, poems and music. The students’ ownership of their stories will lead to important outcomes in the years to come. Although there are many public ways the district is gathering student input, there are other important pieces of the puzzle taking place, as well. Students will soon be providing feedback through surveys that will help the district learn and grow. An important example of this is an equity audit being conducted this spring as we seek to understand how we can improve the equity and quality of education for all of our students. These student-focused initiatives will help us create a future forged by student voice. Based upon the conversations I’ve witnessed thus far, it’s a future I’m excited to see take shape. Dr. Wayne A. Kazmierczak, Superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools

to the greater community. We continue to work to find ways to bring students’ voices and leadership into the forefront. Student representatives are taking part on important district committees, including those focused on districtand building-level strategic plans, family engagement initiatives, and the district’s equity commitment. Our facilities process also has student voices interwoven into the fabric, with student representatives taking part on core teams and subcommittees at the building level. Two district student voice amplifiers that began more than a decade ago are Superintendent Student Advisory Council groups and school board student liaison positions. These middle school and high school student representatives serve an important role in meeting with district leadership quarterly and sitting at the school board table each month, adding important student perspective into the conversation. The models for student engagement and empowerment have been replicated by other districts across the state. Students’ voices have also been added into the mix through student panels in our Future of Learning committee, which started meeting in December and was tasked to make recommendations to create districtwide alignment between the strategic plan, the design of learning spaces, and educational programming. The insights provided by the students, representing ages from elementary through high school, helped the committee to define parameters around programming and design

Always an energetic community member she was involved in many community organizations and activities in the White Bear Area. From that, she became actively involved in Republican politics in the White Bear area.

In the Senate, she pioneered legislation for gifted and talented children, among other initiatives. Her public career culminated with the appointment by Governor Carlson to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, where she served one term until her retirement. She is preceded in death by her father and mother, as well as her brother Alfred McComber. She is survived by her loving children, Marci (Carl Hornfeldt) and Fritz, as well as her grandchildren, Benjamin Knaak, Andrew Knaak, Joseph Knaak, Paul Knaak, Mary Knaak, Daniel Hornfeldt (Kyrsten) and Alina Hornfeldt (Felix Buckley-Brown).

Lornell Martha Johnson(nee Melcher), age 79, of Holmen, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on Feb. 7, 2020, at Mayo Hospital in La Crosse, Wisconsin after battling a respiratory illness for several months. She was born in Menomonie, Wisconsin, to the late Frederick and Martha Melcher(nee Kampa) on July 22, 1940. Lornell moved around the United States throughout her childhood due to her father’s career. She graduated from White Bear Lake High School and, several years later, married her husband of 58 years, Floyd Johnson. They lived in Mahtomedi, MN for 39 years until they moved north to Danbury, Wisconsin, during their retirement. Lornell was known for her love of holiday decorating (especially at Halloween and Christmas), hosting relatives for holiday meals, and enjoying weekend trips to the cabin in Danbury. She was a pet lover, having taken in many stray dogs and cats in her lifetime. She will be remembered for being generous and a very proud mom, grandma, and great-grandma. She made certain she took care of everyone from getting them signed up for school activities, shopping for clothes, feeding everyone, and never forgetting a birthday! In addition, she enjoyed flowers, feeding the birds, spoiling her pets, and spending time with family. Lornell is survived by her husband, Floyd Johnson, of Holmen, WI, son, Gregg(Tracey Martinez) Johnson of Webster, WI, daughter, Stephanie(Mic) Bauer of Holmen, WI., grandchildren, Tanya Johnson, Michael Johnson(Abby Dallmann), Ian Bauer, and great-grandsons, Dom and Derek Vadner. Lornell requested an intimate burial near Danbury, WI, where she enjoyed many summers and retirement years. The family would like to thank the medical teams at Mayo Hospital in La Crosse, WI, and Rochester, MN for the great care and support during the last several months. “If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk in my own garden forever.”-Alfred Jennyon Coulee Region Cremation Group is assisting the family.

Sheriff’s office responds to 3 heroin overdoses in under 6 hours
RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township:
Vadnais Heights • Buerkle Honda reported the theft of a pickup truck Feb. 11. As the mechanic was opening the garage door to work on the vehicle, two people reportedly jumped in and drove off. • A resident in the 3300 block of Centerville Road reported Feb. 12 that his neighbor is feeding feral cats, who are in turn causing damage to his property. • A man reported losing $3,600 in a car-wrapping scam Feb. 13. The “get paid to drive” car advertising scam that often targets college students involves a fake check, and then a request to pay for the “car wrap” by money order, wire or cash deposit. All of the funds, of course, go to the scammer. • Deputies responded to a complaint about a suspicious person in the 300 block of Walker Drive Feb. 13. A caller reported that a juvenile male was casing homes in the neighborhood. The suspect was located and taken into custody on misdemeanor

ST. PAUL—The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office is reminding citizens of the dangers of drug abuse following three heroin overdoses in under six hours in the northern suburbs of Ramsey County last weekend. The overdoses occurred Saturday, Feb. 22, at 8:13 a.m., 11:25 a.m. and 1:42 p.m. respectively. Two were in Shoreview and one was in White Bear Township. Deputies administered naloxone to all three individuals. Two applications have been confirmed as successful. As of press time, the condition of the third person was still being evaluated. “At this time, the sheriff’s office is concerned there may be a batch of heroin (that) contains even more dangerous substances and chemicals,” Undersheriff of Public Safety Jeff Ramacher said. “While all illegal drugs are dangerous and pose the risk of serious injury or death to the user, the fact these many overdoses occurred so close together is especially alarming and a sign that these drugs may be contaminated.” The matter is under investigation by the sheriff’s office. No further information is available at this time. From press release

Water Gremlin requests changes to court order ST. PAUL — Water Gremlin's attorney is asking Judge Leonardo Castro to extend a date issued in his November court order. The district judge gave the company a Feb. 20 deadline to implement a heated, temporary changing and locker room facility for employees. "Because Water Gremlin is not in control of the building permit process, it requests the court extend the deadline to six weeks from the date White Bear Township issues the building permit for the project," asked Thaddeus Lightfoot, Water Gremlin's legal counsel. In a Feb. 19 email, he informed the judge the company's architect has been working with the township building official since early December to obtain acceptable trailers. Minnesota, Lightfoot wrote, is one of only a few states requiring trailers to be certified under the International Building Code (IBC). "Unfortunately, IBC trailers are not readily available," he said. The company finally located suitable trailers, which arrived at the facility Feb. 6. The building permit application was submitted to the township Jan. 22. The township informed Water Gremlin it would decide on the application within two weeks. The contractor estimated it would take four to six weeks after getting the permit to install the trailers and build temporary covered ramps. But there is another glitch. Apparently, it is unclear whether the temporary trailers require a fire suppression system. The architect believes sprinklers are not required in trailers as they are not buildings per township ordinance and state building code. As of Feb. 13, the permit was still on hold pending the issue. In a second request to Judge Castro,

Ice house removal deadline approaches BY ELIZABETH CALLEN SHOREVIEW EDITOR
The ice fishing season is coming to a close, which means if you currently have an ice house on a Minnesota lake, it’s almost time to remove it. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is reminding anglers to make plans to remove their shelters from state lakes and waterways. Shelters must be removed from inland waters in the southern two-thirds of Minnesota by midnight on March 2 and from inland waters in the northern one-third by midnight on March 16. Ice fishing shelters cannot be left unattended on the ice past these removal dates. Afterward, shelters may remain on the ice between midnight and one hour before sunrise only if occupied or attended. According to the DNR, if shelters are not removed, owners will be prosecuted. Conservation officers may confiscate, remove or destroy any ice shelter and its contents if left on the ice after the deadline. Storing or leaving shelters on a public access is prohibited. The DNR is also reminding anglers removing ice houses to take their trash with them, as litter left behind can nega-
the company asked the court to adopt the third-party monitor's recommendation that only Water Gremlin's maintenance and robotics personnel wear a head covering to protect hair and scalp from lead contamination. All Water Gremlin employees currently wear hairnets per the court's Nov. 4 amended order. Attorney Peter Surdo, representing the commissioners of the Department of Labor and Industry and the Department of Health for the attorney general's office, said the plaintiffs do not object to the extension of the Feb. 20 deadline but do object to it being open-ended. Water Gremlin's proposal could amount to nearly half a year, he pointed out. "This is unacceptable," Surdo wrote. "And especially so because Water Gremlin represented to this court that the trailer solution could be ready within three months. "Plaintiffs are concerned with the impact Water Gremlin's delay can have on the safety of its workers, their families and the public health," Surdo noted. The plaintiffs responded by asking the judge to request that third-party Wenck update its monitoring and provide weekly reports to the commissioners. They also asked that Water Gremlin commit to getting its revised permit application filed by Feb. 24 and work in good faith with the township to accelerate review and approval sooner than the 60-day window. Regarding head coverings, the plaintiffs agreed to the proposal as long as qualitative wipes continue to be used for everyone exiting the plant. Both sides indicated they were available for a hearing if the court sees fit. Debra Neutkens
tively impact water quality once the ice melts. “People need to clean up after themselves when they head home. The only thing they should leave is an imprint in the snow or ice,” Rodmen Smith, director of the DNR Enforcement Division, said in a statement. “The majority of people do things right, but unfortunately there’s a subset of people who leave a mess on the ice and count on someone else to clean up after them.” Cigarette butts, blocking material, propane canisters and fish carcasses are among the items most commonly left behind, along with cans, bottles and bags— sometimes filled with human waste. Once the ice melts, it all lands in the water. Conservation officers can sometimes anticipate trouble spots, as they spend the winter monitoring lakes, and they also rely on complaints from other ice fishers. Those caught leaving trash behind will receive litter citations. “Leaving trash on the ice isn’t a mistake or an oversight—the people who litter make a conscious decision to do it,” Smith said. “They take advantage of the fact that the majority of people care about our lakes and will clean up trash, even if it isn’t theirs.”

Swans and loons will benefit from Get the Lead Out program BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
As a photographer, Vadnais Heights resident Debbie Hartmann appreciates the beauty and grace of the trumpeter swans that flock together on Minnesota’s few open waters during the winters. Her favorite spot is Sucker Lake, where she can usually find a large flock hanging together, especially on the coldest winter days. Although Hartmann’s photography captures the elegance of these large waterfowl, there’s a dark side to her visits here. “One of the things that gets me outside, as of last winter, is I go there to see if there’s any dead ones,” Hartmann said. “When I found the first one, that’s kind of what started all this last year.” The dead swan was one of 11 that turned up on Vadnais Heights area lakes last winter. Necropsy results from the University of Minnesota confirmed it: the four birds that were tested died of lead poisoning from ingesting fishing tackle. This February, at least one more bird was found dead, and its body tested positive for lead. Since these gruesome discoveries, Hartmann said she continues her regular patrol to check on the swans. She communicates back and forth with the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) about the swans’ condition and has offered her photography to be used for education and outreach. This is how the matter came to the attention of local Girl Scout Troop 56087. These White Bear Lake-area eighth graders had already completed their Bronze Award and were looking for a worthy cause to champion for their Silver Award. “They like to visit Sucker Channel and spend time watching the swans, so they wanted to know what they could do,” said VLAWMO Program Development Coordinator Dawn Tanner. “They wanted to get lead sinkers banned—that’s wonderful, and also a big goal,” Tanner said. Last November, the Minnesota DNR rejected a proposal to ban use of lead tackle (it’s found in most fishing jigs and sinkers) and ammunition across the state. (The use of lead shot for waterfowl hunting has been illegal in Minnesota since 1987.) Instead, Tanner pointed them toward other ways they could help: connecting with local fishing groups, writing letters to the editor and spreading the message about lead toxicity. The girls assisted Tanner in a presentation at a water resources conference.
DAWN TANNER | SUBMITTED
One of the swans Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization Community Development Coordinator Dawn Tanner retrieved from Vadnais-Sucker Lake Regional Park last year. The University of Minnesota later determined it had died from lead poisoning, likely from lead fishing sinkers.
On Feb. 18, they spoke before the Minnesota Senate’s Committee on Environment and Natural Resources Finance. During the meeting, the committee discussed the Damage Assessment and Restoration grant the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency received from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement. The MPCA pointed out that wildlife recovering from the ill effects of the 2010 oil spill, especially loons, were adversely impacted by the presence of impaired habitat in Minnesota, where the birds breed and nest. As part of the settlement for the environmental damages, funding was set aside to protect migratory birds. The MPCA requested that the $1.27 million in funding be directed to its Get the Lead Out campaign. Get the Lead Out is an outreach and education program designed to reduce bird exposure to lead-based fishing tackle by encouraging people to replace lead sinkers and jigs with non-toxic alternatives. Retired Department of Natural Resources officer Carrol Henderson spoke to the Senate Committee to give some background, explaining that 11-12% of all loon mortality in the state is caused by lead poisoning when the birds pick up lead from lake bottoms. Loons and swans alike ingest rocks to aid in digestion. “Sinkers are just the right size for gizzard stones,” Tanner explained. “They pick it up preferentially.”
ASH WEDNESDAY: ‘Good reminder of our mortality’ FROM PAGE 1A
Wednesday reflects the solemnity of the season. As clergy members mark congregants' foreheads with the ashes, they will often say, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return,” a verse from the biblical Book of Genesis, when God banishes Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Joann Thompson, of White Bear Lake, said that Lent is among her favorite times of the year, and that verse in particular “always proves meaningful” for her during each year's Ash Wednesday service. “I think it's a good reminder of our mortality,” she said. “Hearing 'from dust you are and to dust you will return' is very impactful to me. It reminds me that I'm here because a creator god chose to bring humanity into being.” Thompson also said that she has found increasingly more meaning in the rituals of Ash Wednesday as she ages. “It's also a reminder of the circle of life, especially as I get older and I start to experience the ends of lives of those people who are close to me,” she said. “It's a reminder that we are forever held by a god who created us, knows us and loves us. I like the imposition of ashes because of that very reason.”

The committee had agreed to release the $1.27 million for Get the Lead Out earlier in the meeting, but they received Troop 56807’s statements. Chair Bill Ingebrigtsen (R-Alexandria) thanked them for the work they did. Get the Lead Out programming will include outreach such as tackle swaps that enable fisherpersons to try out non-toxic sinkers and jigs, as well as education through local outdoor sports organizations and community events. Right now, it’s not easy for people to find non-toxic alternatives in their local tackle supply shops, but Tanner and others hope that will change with pressure from educated consumers who have the power to shift the market. Joe’s Sporting Goods currently carries several alternatives, and Water Gremlin produces at least one tin variety of sinkers, Tanner said. Swagger Tackle Co. is a Woodbury-based company that makes tungsten sinkers, and Tiger Eye is another Minnesota company that produces handmade glass lures. “With Get the Lead out coming back, people can recognize alternatives that are available,” Tanner said. A large shift away from toxic fishing tackle is the most effective way to reduce waterfowl deaths from lead toxicity, Tanner explained. In theory, lake bottoms could be dredged to remove the harmful tackle, but it would be expensive and not particularly helpful. “The input that’s still going in is very high,” she said. “It wouldn’t make sense to do dredging until we can stop what’s being put in.” On her last outing to Sucker Lake, Hartmann counted 150 swans. So far, all have been lively and healthy. She frequently sends her photos to Tanner, who keeps her updated on how the images are used to educate others about swans on local lakes. “We appreciate her doing that so much,” Tanner said. “Having those photos really helps people understand how majestic they are. Because she was out doing the photography, she was the one who first encountered the dead swans at Sucker Channel. The easy access trails aren’t maintained in winter; you have to hike in. It’s kind of hidden. The fact that she was out there doing her photography and spending so much time out there alerted us to that issue, otherwise we wouldn’t know it was happening or the extent.” “That keeps me motivated to keep going and taking pictures,” Hartmann said. “The visuals are so important. I never get tired of taking pictures of them.”
Mahtomedi council backs cable commission BY BROOKE WOHLRABE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — Last week, the City Council reviewed a preliminary assessment by the Ramsey-Washington County Suburban Cable Commission that Comcast’s cable franchise should not be renewed. The commission regulates the delivery of cable television services to 11 northeast suburban member municipalities. The commission’s mission is to oversee the cable television franchise for the district. It monitors customer satisfaction, manages the district’s assets, and enforces franchise provisions. There have been various franchise extensions with Comcast throughout the years. Recently, Comcast again attempted to renew its franchise contract, but despite negotiations, the parties have been unable to come to an agreement. At its Feb. 18 meeting, the City Council heard from a commission staff member and a representative of Comcast. Commission Executive Director Tim Finnerty said that the two parties have been involved in informal negations for some time. Commission members reviewed Comcast’s renewal proposal and suggested that the franchise renewal be denied. This has led franchise discussions beyond a simple contract extension to a more formal process. “The franchise agreement addresses legal, technical and financial provisions. What we’re expecting out of this renewal
is an agreement for 10 years between the communities and Comcast,” Finnerty said. Councilman Richard Brainerd said the issue has been before the City Council over the years and they can’t get parties to reach an agreement on a voluntary basis. “We can’t keep granting extensions,” he said. Brainerd said he believes they have a commission to make these types of decisions. Finnerty said a short-term extension will go through March and will give Comcast some time to look over the commission’s findings. He said there have been no proposals for further extensions, but the formal process that they are moving toward would get something done. He noted that issues almost always are resolved during the formal process. Councilman Steve Wolgamot said, “This is a time of considerable uncertainty in this area. Technology is changing fast. How we get and transmit information is changing fast. Looking at those technical issues, I see this is a complicated issue and it’s not surprising that it will take a while to get it done … I’m okay with it taking some time.” Ron Orlando, Comcast’s vice president of external affairs in the Twin Cities area, said, “We have no doubt the record will show in strong support, our renewal.” He said the company has met its obligations every year. “We are delivering best-in-class TV service to your residents,” Orlando said. “It has been painted that we have not come to the table to provide you with the most
up-to-date services, and I have to laugh at that. Everyone we serve in the Twin Cities has 1 gigabyte available to them right now.” Orlando continued, “I still haven’t heard the response to how we’re not able to support the constituents of your city.” Finnerty said the commission has found significant maintenance problems in its study, including cables loose on the grass and pole attachment issues. Commissioners asked Comcast to come up with solutions to those problems. Orlando said there are harsh conditions during much of the year and that Comcast constantly works to fix what it can immediately. Wolgamot said, “Specific things are not being done and one of them is that Comcast is not confidently and technically proving the service that is required.” The council agreed that they need to honor the cable commission’s work and its assessment that Comcast’s franchise contract should not be renewed. Mayor Marshall Judson said, “We want to do what’s in the best interest of the city, and if that means we have to cancel our current agreement so we can move on to the next one and get some negotiates, that’s fine. If there’s a better way to do it, then we want to know about it.” Brainerd said he hopes the parties can reach an agreement and pointed out that bringing a moderator to the table can often help. The current extension is set to expire at the end of March.

an average of 25 fi sh per outing. The pontoon made 160 trips last summer, according to Ryan, and averages 10 guests per trip. Docked near the VFW, the boat goes out three times a day Monday through Friday and includes a Monday evening cruise to watch the A-boat races. If an evening of dancing isn't enough, Black added that the silent and live auctions offer some great items. There is a trip to Mexico, a Lutsen weekend package and a St. Croix River dinner cruise on Scott and Heidi Mueller's yacht. Other items include a handmade quilt, gift certificates and art donated by local artists. Black and her fundraising committee also auction off a shrimp boil for 20 people. Last year, Don Peltier was high bidder. "We had it by their pool. It was a lot of fun," Black said. She is still taking auction items if anyone wishes to donate. Contact Black at blackpeg58@gmail.com. Reminding that it's all for a great cause, Black said the best part of Bear Boating is "seeing how much fun people have. Our volunteers try hard to make sure everyone has a good time." Volunteer applications will also be on hand at the event for people interested in learning more about the organization.

BUS DRIVERS: Stop and say ‘thank you’ to bus drivers FROM PAGE 1A
to assuring the safety of the students they transport but they are dedicated to working for the Centennial School District,” said Rehbein Operations Manager Steve LaTour. Gov. Tim Walz proclaimed Feb. 26 as School Bus Driver Appreciation Day in the state of Minnesota. School districts across the state will celebrate the fourth annual School Bus Driver Appreciation Day in special ways. Some will pass out student-made thank you cards and provide food and beverages to bus drivers. The I-35W bridge in Minneapolis will also be lit yellow in recognition of school bus drivers on the evening of Feb. 26. The Minnesota School Bus Operators Association (MSBOA) and the Minnesota Association of Pupil Transportation (MAPT) teamed up to create School Bus Driver Appreciation Day in Minnesota to encourage school leaders, parents and students to celebrate the profession, which is often overlooked. JoAnne Urban, 43 years JoAnne Urban, 73, has driven a school bus since her 20s. Back in 1977, Urban was working in the field of cosmetology, but when her kids started going to school she noticed there was an opening for bus drivers. “I love to drive, and I’ve driven everything. We lived on a truck farm, so I’ve driven tractors, trucks and everything else ... even had a team of horses when I was
a little kid,” she recalled. “I was doing both jobs for a while, but then I just stuck with it.” Urban made $3 an hour when she first became a bus driver. Three things make the job enjoyable for Urban — the kids, the driving and the people she works with. Her only complaint about the job is all the paperwork involved. “They have so much more training now than we ever did. We just went out and got our license; you either passed or didn’t. There’s so much paperwork now compared to before,” she said. Jean Jensen, 39 years Jean Jensen, age 57, became a bus driver when she was just 18 years old. She was in the market for a parttime job and happened to live right across from Rehbein. “I didn’t know I wanted to do that, but my dad was a bus driver, okay, so it must have been in my blood,” she said. Jensen likes the job because of its flexibility and, of course, the children. When her kids were young, she was able to not only bring them on the bus with her but also be at home with them when they were home. For the first 22 years of her career as a bus driver she did normal routes at the high school, middle school and elementary schools, but she now has a special education route that she loves. The one thing she doesn’t like about the job these days is the fact that “kids have too many days off now and we don’t get paid then.”
City comes in high Council sees higher-than-expected city project bids BY BROOKE WOHLRABE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Mahtomedi City Council on Tuesday, Feb. 18 looked over bids for various city projects planned for this year and suffered from a bit of sticker shock. “Some of these bids are 20% higher than estimates,” said Mayor Judson Marshall. “I’m curious about why we’re seeing such significant increases? “I wonder if this is going to be a trend we’re going to be seeing.” “I would bet metrowide, this is going to be one of the largest construction seasons for municipal government that we’ve ever seen,” said John Sachi, city engineer. “The bonding rate is so low, (and) the economy is good. We’re going to be doing our biggest year ever, I believe. I think these numbers are what we’re looking at,” he said. Sachi said they can alter the engineer’s estimate for some of the projects, but some were calculated a year ago as a part of the individual project feasibility reports. “We’ve been reaching out to the industry,” he noted. “Not necessarily to general contractors, but specific contractors. We’re trying to do everything we can to keep these prices in line, but we guessed a year ago what these prices would be.”
He said other nearby communities are finding bids that are quite a bit over what they estimated as well. “If all these bids come in over, do we have the funds to pay for it?” asked Councilman Richard Brainerd. Sachi said city Finance Director Scott Schaefer has reviewed the bids and the city “will be fine.” In other news, the council: • Approved an hourly wage increase to $13 for seasonal public works employees. Brainerd asked how many seasonal employees return to work another year. Public Works Director Bob Goebel said the department will bring back two, possibly three, employees from the previous year. Goebel reported that after making some inquiries, he found that $13 an hour is comparable to what other nearby cities pay. The city previously offered $11 an hour. “Last year we had four openings,” Goebel said, “and we only had five applicants. One of them backed out last minute so we had four people to choose from to fill four positions … it has been a challenge the last few years. This is the first time we’ve raised the wages since 2002,” he noted. Councilwoman Jane Schneeweis said they want to keep it local but realize they need people to do the work.
“It’s a good part-time job. It’s mostly for college kids or seniors that have retired ... It is good money for parttime,” she said. Bill Blaylock, 35 years Former Lino Lakes (now Coon Rapids) resident Bill Blaylock, 60, started the job while he was in school to pursue a degree in English. “I grew up around here, and if you went to school on a bus you went in a Rehbein bus,” he said. “I was going to school at the time and it’s a good part-time job for a guy in school.” He enjoys the job because “the kids say the darndest things.” He added, “You also see a broad variety of mankind. It is good for people-watching.” The one thing Blaylock does not like about the job is getting onto a cold bus. He said the company is usually really good about warming up the buses when it is freezing, but if it is “sort of cold” the drivers are on their own and have to wait for the bus to heat up. College students should consider the job, Blaylock said, because it is a great way to make pretty good money and start chipping away at your student loans. LaTour said, “This is just an example of the drivers that are dedicated to serving the students of the Centennial School District. It is truly a blessing to have drivers with so many years of service.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.
White Bear Township board funds wellhead plan BY CYNTHIA SOWDEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
It happens just once every 10 years: White Bear Township is due to update its wellhead protection plan. The plan is designed to protect the groundwater aquifers that supply White Bear Township's municipal drinking water wells. It identifies potential sources of contamination that could pollute local groundwater wells and enter the community’s water supply. Speaking of behalf of the township’s Public Works Department at the township board’s Feb. 12 meeting, Town Engineer Jim Studenski said the township is already working on the revised plan. He said workers have met with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) about it, and
MDH was pleased at the early start. It’s part of a two-year process that involves updating data that has been accumulating over the past 10 years, analyzing it and compiling it into a report. The report will assess vulnerabilities in the system and describe how the wells will be protected and the township’s response if something should happen to compromise the wells. Studenski noted that the report is shared with adjacent communities, which are also updating their plans. “Water movement is not restricted by community boundaries,” he noted. White Bear’s wells are typically 300 feet deep. The township approved an expenditure of $23,000 to fund the first year of the study.

Bill banning TCE introduced on Senate side ST. PAUL — Use of the cancer-causing chemical trichloroethylene, more commonly known as TCE, would be banned for use in the state of Minnesota beginning Jan. 1, 2022 thanks to legislation introduced by Sen. Chuck Wiger (DFL-Maplewood) last week. “We’ve seen the effects of what happens with exposure to TCE in my community, and the harmful effects it has on people’s health,” said Sen. Wiger. “It’s absolutely the right thing to do to ban the use of this harmful, toxic chemical, and to prevent the further exposure of people to it. We came up short in 2019, but thanks to the advocacy of engaged citizens and state agencies, I believe my colleagues and I in the Legislature can get this done in 2020.” The discussion around banning the use of TCE began with the discovery that Water Gremlin had been emitting levels of the pollutant that violated the state’s clean air permit since at least 2009. The company was then required to pay a $4.5 million settlement and switch to use of an alternative, less toxic chemical for use in its coating operation. “Banning TCE use is one important step to protecting Minnesota’s air and water,” said Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Commissioner Laura Bishop. “This should be a priority this session, and I am thankful Senator Wiger and other legislative leaders are working hard to get the job done this year.” Some of the strongest advocates for the ban on the use of TCE have come from the Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group.
The president of the group, Sherry Hastings, called the ban necessary to protect the health of Minnesotans. “While the most recent attention regarding TCE has been on Water Gremlin exposing over 5,500 citizens for 15-plus years of highly excessive toxic TCE air pollution in the White Bear area, TCE pollution has impacted many other communities,” said Hastings. “Communities like Fridley, Bayport, SE Como Minneapolis area, St. Louis Park, Edina, New Brighton, Arden Hills, Lake Elmo, St. Paul and West Lakeland Township all have dealt with the environmental and health impacts of TCE pollution in the air, water, ground and vapor intrusion for decades. This is not just a Twin Cities issue, TCE is impacting cities and citizens throughout Minnesota. We need to amplify our voices from every city and ban TCE.” The legislation, SF3387, is co-sponsored by senators Jason Isaacson (DFL-Shoreview), Chris Eaton (DFL-Brooklyn Center), Scott Dibble (DFL-Minneapolis) and Melisa Franzen (DFL-Edina), and supported by environmental groups throughout the state. Introduced Feb. 20, it has been referred to the Environment and Natural Resources Policy and Legacy Finance Committee. “Given the dangers of TCE and the numbers of communities already impacted, banning TCE must be a priority at the Legislature this year,” said Conservation Minnesota Executive Director Paul Austin.

Get your billion back Senate Republicans announced a multifaceted plan to return Minnesota’s budget surplus to taxpayers Feb. 20. The Senate Republican tax plan emphasizes putting money back in the pockets of families and individuals, particularly middle-income and low-income earners, so they have more security, freedom and flexibility to chase their dreams. The Get Your Billion Back plan is built upon a package of tax cuts worth more than $1 billion, which will ease the burden for every single
CHURCH BRIEFS
Minnesota taxpayer. The plan calls for reducing the bottom income tax rate, completely eliminating taxes on Social Security income, expanding the K-12 income tax credit and more. “It is time to get your billion back, Minnesota,” said Sen. Roger Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate Tax Committee. “I have met so many people who have told me what a little extra money in their pocket would mean. For some, it will be easier to afford child care, groceries, or medical bills. For others, it means being able to go to a Wild game, a concert or a long-overdue date night. It’s about security and flexibility for Minnesotans and their families; it’s about giving people the freedom to create their own opportunities and follow their dreams.” The plan includes: • Expanding the K-12 Education Tax Credit • Eliminating the tax on Social Security income • Fully conforming to Section 179 of the federal tax code • Reforming school equalization aid • Reallocating more mortgage and deed tax revenue to affordable housing programs • Reforms and reductions to charitable gaming rules
REGIONAL BRIEF Support for those experiencing loss
Take T k litt litter with ith fish h houses h
Neil Craigan, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in White Bear Lake, recently published his first book, titled “Human Again: Life in the Image of God.” In the book's prelude, Craigan says his hope is that readers “will come to appreciate the critical importance of respecting the image of God in ourselves and others as we seek to live a life of faith that honors God, in whose image every human being who has ever lived is created.” Craigan was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He has a Master of Divinity from Luther Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry from Bethel University and has served as pastor at First Presbyterian Church since 2009. The book is available at local bookstores and on Amazon.
GriefShare, a Christ-centered grief recovery support group, will begin a 13-week program on Thursdays, from March 5 to June 4 from 6:45-8:45 p.m. at St. Andrews Lutheran Church. The video series features nationally respected grief experts who focus on topics associated with the death of a loved one. The program provides participants an opportunity to share with others experiencing the pain of a loss in a group discussion. The cost is $18. Call Joanne Zehnder at 651-730-9073 for more information, or register online at saintandrews.org
The DNR reminds owners of fish houses to take all trash with them when they remove their fish house. Fish houses and shelters must be removed from local lakes by midnight on March 2. According to the DNR, litter is an issue throughout the ice fishing season, and particularly problematic as the deadlines loom for removing fish houses from lakes. Trash left on the ice is not only an eyesore, but it also has the potential to negatively affect water quality, especially if the litter remains when the ice melts. “People need to clean up after themselves when they head home. The only thing they should leave is an imprint in the snow or ice,” said Rodmen Smith, director of the Department of Natural Resources Enforcement Division. “The majority of people do things right, but unfortunately there’s a subset of people who leave a mess on the ice and count on someone else to clean up after them.” Conservation officers spend the winter monitoring anglers and documenting areas where they believe litter might be a problem. People who get caught leaving their trash on the ice will receive litter citations.

Miller] as editor and manager. The needs and possibilities in the newspaper field in White Bear are apparent to the most casual observer and our purpose is to fi ll the want that has been felt in this line for the past several years.

Come along for an adventurous outing to explore the hideouts and haunts of the 1930s era gangsters who laid low in the cottages around White Bear and Bald Eagle Lakes. Sights include a Mahtomedi speakeasy and the location of a notorious dance club. Tours last approximately 1 hour with departures at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Advance Tickets Required: $20/$15 WBLAHS Members at Whitebearhistory.org or 651-4075327

Caylee Greeder placed 33rd on floor exercise (9.2375). “Bella, Kate and Caylee all nailed their routines,” Driscoll said.

Class A, Class AA, whatever. It makes no difference to Bella Frattalone. The Mahtomedi senior added the big-school gymnastics all-around championship Saturday evening to the small-school title she won last year — and actually did even better in Class AA as she nabbed the floor exercise and vault golds as well. “It’s just kind of nice to see that my hard work paid off,” she said. “This is a great way to end my gymnastics career.” Frattalone scored 38.5625 points at Roy Wilkins Auditorium, all her routines crackling with energy, precision and mind-boggling elevation even while her calm demeanor was never shaken. Runner-up was Park Center junior Annika Lee with 38.4750. Frattalone won floor exercise with a career-best 9.8125 and vault with 9.775. She placed fifth on uneven bars (9.5375) and 10th on balance beam (9.4375). “The meet was pretty normal for her. She put together four routines with minimal deductions,” assessed coach Debbie Driscoll. “Bella is just mentally strong. Her routines in meets look the same in practice.” Last year in Class A, Frattalone won all-around with 38.6625, took second on vault and bars, third on beam and fifth on floor. Frattalone said she took on a “whatever happens, happens” mind-set this time, in contrast to going into last year’s meet laser-focused on winning. Apparently both approaches worked. “I wanted my last gymnastics experience to be the best one yet. I knew if I set high expectations for myself ahead of the meet, I would have been stressed the entire meet and not enjoyed it … This year, I’ve just wanted to have fun.” Six Mahtomedi gymnasts have captured a total of 11 all-around state championships. The others are Gretchen Gunnarson (1990), Heather Murphy (1988-90), Jenny Olson (1990), Mindy Myhre (1991-92-93-94), and Kasey Lenarz (2017). Frattalone is the first of them to snare a Class AA all-around title. During a previous eight-year tenure in Class AA they didn’t have one. She is also just the second gymnast in state meet history with all-around titles in both divisions, joining Sabrina Hoover of Rogers. Driscoll said Frattalone’s three golds lift Mahtomedi’s all-time total to 40 in all events. Taller than most gymnasts at 5-foot-6 1/2, Frattalone was a club athlete until the last two years, when she joined her schoolmates on the Zephyrs. In club, the gymnastics are higher caliber, but there’s no school or hometown cheering section. “The past two seasons have definitely been my most enjoyable years competing in this crazy sport,” she said. “I love the atmosphere our team creates at every meet. It makes every performance that much more special, knowing I’m doing this for something greater than myself.” On Friday night, Frattalone totaled 38.375 points to lead Mahtomedi to fifth place in team competition, including a 9.9 vault that tied her school record. She shares the school all-around record of 38.75 with Myhre. This was the last time fans will see Frattalone soaring, shimmering and spinning with such splendid artistry.

Bears’ Kastner, Sloan earn state wrestling berths BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Nick Kastner and Matt Sloan will represent White Bear Lake in the state wrestling tournament after placing first and second their respective weights at Section 4AAA on Saturday in Stillwater. Kastner (23-19), a senior, went 3-0 at 220 pounds, all decisions. In the finals he won 9-3 over Stillwater junior Nick Dauffenbach (6-9). “What a finish for him as a senior,” coach Craig Nasvik said. “This is one of those happenings that define why we do what we do. What an accomplishment for Nick, a lifetime memory.” Sloan (39-8), a sophomore, qualified as a runner-up for the second time. He reached 182-pound finals with two pins and got pinned by Stillwater’s Roman Rototzke in 2:24.
“Matt is currently ranked eighth, and all losses are to wrestlers ranked above him,” Nasvik noted. “This week will be fun, having two go to state.” State individuals competition will be held Friday, Feb. 28 and Saturday, Feb. 29 at Xcel Energy Center. Placing third were senior Joshua Powell (26-16) at 132 pounds and senior Monte Collins (29-16) at 160 pounds. Collins was 3-2 with three pins.

A Sunday morning snowfall totaled anywhere from 4-5 inches here in the northern metro; our first snowfall of the month and first shovelable snowfall since a January 21-22 snowfall. It was a bit treacherous driving for a while Sunday but the snow was low in water content and easy to shovel. The sun managed to come out later in the afternoon and it turned out to be a pleasant day. Speaking of the sun it has been out in abundance this month as compared to January. We're in store for a brief cold snap but temperatures are expected to rebound quickly for a mild weekend ahead. Note: My 2020 weather calendar is available.

Care with Purpose ENCOURAGING MEMORY CARE RESIDENTS TO
THRIVE BY ENGAGING
IN FAMILIAR ACTIVITIES THAT BRING THEM COMFORT, AND THAT THEY ENJOY
Our new “Purpose Stations” encourage health and promote physical & emotional well-being – The stations enable physica memory care residents to engage in familiar activities, tivities, giving them more personal control and reducing anxiety.
When a family member is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Dementia, or some other form of memory impairment, offering personcentered care and a positive, purposeful environment can help encourage them to remain a part of the life around them. Feeling safe, being listened to and respected, and maintaining a sense of dignity can improve overall health.
