Readathon topped off with cherries
Curtain call steadily approaching for old theater
Parent volunteer Emily Paradise watches as students, Connor Green, Eleanor Senart and Nicklas Albrecht use Lincoln Elementary School Principal Dan Schmidt as the foundation for an elaborate sundae, complete with a variety of ingredients, including whipped cream, candy sprinkles and cherries on top, at right. The stunt was the reward for the students reaching their goal of reading 250,000 minutes during the Minions of Minutes Read-a-thon.

When the curtain goes up in fall of 2017 in the new theater, community theatergoers will be part of Lakeshore Players 65th season. It’s a dream goal for a dream project. “But the dream will only happen with everyone’s involvement,” said Lakeshore’s Executive Director Joan Elwell. By everyone, Elwell means, well, everyone. “We need people who want to help with the capital campaign, help us make connections, fundraise, make in-kind donations and add expertise,” she said. “We’re hoping people will step up.” Individuals have already come forward to contribute to the theater’s $6.2 million capital campaign. So far, 165 donors and several foundations have contributed $3.4 million towards a new theater, which is 54 percent of the goal. If all goes as planned, construction should start this summer on the former site of Twin Cities Nursery in White Bear Lake. Thanks to a $1 million contribution from a “family with old ties” to White Bear, the 2.8 acres of land at 4941 Long Ave. was purchased in 2014. Demolition and site preparation should start this summer now that a contractor has been hired. A facilities committee heard presentations from four companies this winter after sending out a request for proposals. They decided on McGough Construction, which Elwell said has much experience building performance arts space. “We felt they anticipated our every need just perfectly,” noted Mike Spellman, president of Lake

Keep traveling: Internet encyclopedia doesn't tell all BY LORETTA HARDING SPECIAL TO THE PRESS
The world was created out of llama fat. That's what I learned during my recent trip to Peru. For the ancient Inca people living high in the Andes Mountains, fat found in a llama was the only source of energy available to them. Because human life in the Andes couldn't be sustained without fat, it must have meant that the energy to create and sustain the entire world had also come from the llama — the only source of energy the Incas knew. Because of its life-giving energy, the animal I'd always thought of as a kind of cute horse with wool has always

City throws hat in lake augmentation ring BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — If community support is required for an augmentation bill to gush forward, count the city in. An early draft of a "resolution of support" made the rounds at the Feb. 23 City Council meeting as members suggested changes. Language in the document read that proponents of augmentation asked the mayor and council to support the project and its inclusion in the Legislature's 2016 bonding bill. That support comes with a few conditions, however, as stated in the draft. Keep in mind these are not yet set in stone:
1. That any augmentation project be predicated on the council's approval of an agreed-upon funding mechanism for its ongoing operation and maintenance. 2. That the implementation of the project have no adverse effect on water quality and other environmental factors related to White Bear Lake. 3. That the parties to the lawsuit titled "White Bear Lake Restoration Association, et al, versus the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, et al," pending in Ramsey County Court, dismiss the lawsuit if and when the augmentation project is completed. Councilman Dan Jones felt it was good for the city to go on record with a resolution. "Let's be first," he said. "Get it out in front. But I'd like to add that funding has to be fair and equitable
for all municipalities involved." Something about the lake being a "regional asset" was suggested by Mayor Jo Emerson. "If it's a regional asset, the region should be helping," she said. City attorney Roger Jensen reminded the council that the resolution is not binding on anyone. "It is merely expressing the council's desires and intent," he noted. The mayor explained that the resolution is an attempt to protect the city's residents. "Legislators have to understand our concerns because we have residents who will not benefit from this," Emerson said. "We want to make sure their wishes are also addressed." The resolution will come back to council at the March 8 meeting.

RAMSEY COUNTY POLICE REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:
VADNAIS HEIGHTS A deputy acting on information received Feb. 12 observed a man matching the description of a suspect wanted on a felony warrant for a parole violation at a house in the 1100 block of County Road E and called for backup. Meanwhile, another man arrived at the address so deputies checked him out as well. He was also wanted on a felony warrant for a parole violation. Both fugitives, ages 42 and 44, were transported to the Ramsey County Jail. A woman called 911 the morning of Feb. 19 to report that her unlocked vehicle had contained a donation for a passing thief. The theft had occurred the night before in a parking lot in the 800 block of County Road E. The loss
included her purse, which contained $200 in cash. It pays to license your dog. A woman walking her dog Feb. 19 in Sucker Lake Park was cautiously approached by a collared yellow Lab traveling alone on a walking path. She alerted a Ramsey County Water Patrol officer in the area. The officer checked the Lab’s tags, made a phone call or two, and the lost Lab was reunited with his owner 30 minutes later. Most speed-related stops are for going too fast. In this case, however, a deputy’s probable cause for a stop was a driver making a very slow turn the afternoon of Feb. 20 at County Road E and Hoffman Road. The 49-year-old White Bear Lake man, who went on to fail several alcohol-related tests, was booked at the jail on a misdemeanor DWI charge.
A woman ran from a Centerville Road residence around midnight Feb. 22 and called 911 from a nearby gas station. Her boyfriend had choked her, the 45-year-old from Lakeville reported, and showed arriving deputies the red marks as evidence. The 50-year-old man was arrested on a “felony domestic assault by strangulation” charge. After discussing the incident with the boyfriend of a year who reportedly was no stranger to law enforcement, the victim attempted to change her mind and drop the charge. No, she was told, the case against the man, who had been convicted of felony assault in 2004, would proceed.
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP A man checking his debit card bill at the end of January noticed several
charges from the Wright County Jail. Inmates are able to purchase items such as books, newspapers and personal grooming products on site, but having not been in the jail, the man quickly reported the strange transactions. An investigation continues. An Elk Street man received a letter from the IRS Feb. 17 regarding several questions on his 2015 tax return. Having not yet filed his 2015 tax return, the puzzled man reported the incident to authorities. An investigation continues. An elderly man reported Feb. 18 that he doesn’t appreciate that his daughter keeps dropping off groceries that he doesn’t want. The crabby man was advised to settle the dispute directly with his daughter. Telephone harassment that occurred Feb. 23 to a Melissa Lane address is currently under investigation.
WHITE BEAR LAKE POLICE REPORTS The White Bear Lake Police Department reported the following incidents: A 31-year-old male from White Bear Township was arrested for fourth-degree DWI on Highway 96 at 1:45 a.m. Feb. 19. His blood alcohol level was 0.15. A 20-year-old male from White Bear Lake was arrested for making threats in the 1700 block of Whitaker Street at 12:41 p.m. Feb. 19. A domestic assault and burglary occurred in the 3500 block of Century Avenue overnight Feb. 19. The investigation continues. A dumpster diver who took a bag of garbage was reported in the 4800 block of Highway 61 at 9:18 a.m. An officer located the suspect and advised the dumpster diver they cannot take garbage without the business owner's consent. Vandalism to a vehicle was reported in the 1900 block of Birch Lake Avenue at 12:11 p.m. Feb. 20. A 31-year-old male was arrested for third-degree assault in the 4400 block of Highway 61 at 1:57 p.m. Feb. 20. The victim was found lying on pavement near a boat launch with face and leg/hip injuries. Vandalism was reported in the 2100 block of Fourth Street at 5:21 p.m. Feb. 20. Graffiti was located on the front door of a business. No suspect information at this time. A 25-year-old male was arrested for fourth-degree
DWI in the area of White Bear Avenue and I-694 at 2:17 a.m. Feb. 21. His blood alcohol level was 0.18. A 46-year-old female from St. Paul was arrested for third-degree DWI in the area of White Bear Avenue and Lydia Avenue at 2:22 p.m. Feb. 21. Her blood alcohol level was 0.15. A 37-year-old male from White Bear Lake was arrested for third-degree DWI in the area of Cook Avenue and Fifth Street at 1:45 p.m. Feb. 22. His blood alcohol level was 0.16 and he had a total abstinence restriction on his driver's license, making his vehicle eligible for forfeiture. His vehicle was towed to an impound lot. Fraud was reported in the 4700 block of White Bear Parkway at 2:15 p.m. Feb. 22. The complainant informed the officer another company wrote three checks using their business' routing number. The case was forwarded to investigations. Theft from a vehicle was reported in the 1700 block of Buerkle Circle at 3:43 p.m. Feb. 23. Theft from a vehicle was reported in the 4700 block of Buerkle Road at 6:50 p.m. Feb. 23. A laptop and debit card were stolen. The debit card was later used fraudulently. Vandalism was reported in the 2500 block of County Road E at 6:58 a.m. Feb. 24. No suspects at this time. Fraud was reported to the police department at 7:59 p.m. Feb. 24. The complainant had a checkbook stolen
in St. Paul a few months ago and one of the checks was subsequently used at a White Bear Lake business in the 2200 block of Fourth Street. No suspect at this time. Pedestrians found a loaded handgun lying near a sidewalk in the 4500 block of Lake Avenue at 2:51 p.m. Feb. 25. It was secured by officers and had been stolen from Hudson, Wisconsin. Theft of a puppy from a backyard was reported in the 2200 block of Orchard Lane at 3:51 p.m. Feb. 24. A male from White Bear Lake was arrested on a warrant and domestic abuse no contact order charges in the 2200 block of Birch Street at 7:34 p.m. Feb. 24.

Respite Care at the Lighthouse of Mahtomedi
PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS
Felony burglary charge A White Bear Lake man was charged Feb. 16 by the Washington County Sheriff's Office for felony burglary in the first degree. According to the complaint, Andrew W. Hyde, 19, was alleged to have entered a home last summer in the 900 block of Woodland Drive, Mahtomedi, with intent to commit a crime. The occupant was home at the time and told his wife to call 911 while he confronted the suspect, who had entered through an open kitchen window. The defendant fled but was identified by fingerprints left
on a glass he touched on the ledge. Maximum sentence is 20 years and $35,000.
Man threatened with shotgun A Birchwood man was charged last month with making felony terroristic threats with reckless disregard of the risk. According to the complaint, officers were dispatched to the home of Mark A. McKee, 49, on Feb. 6 on a report of threats with a gun. The complainant reported that McKee, his mother's ex-boy-
friend, allegedly pointed a shotgun at him and told him to leave the residence. The complainant said McKee no longer lived there but was on the lease and had property at the house. The complainant's girlfriend, who also lived at the house, told police the two males were arguing over property the complainant had pawned that the defendant claimed was his. The defendant told deputies the gun was not loaded but acted like it was while he walked the complainant and his girlfriend to the front door. The maximum sentence is not more than five years and not more than $10,000.

What Harper Lee can teach us
O
n Feb. 19, Nelle Harper Lee died of a stroke at age 89, leaving a lasting legacy. Her book “To Kill a Mockingbird” was first published in 1960 and immediately skyrocketed to success, winning a Pulitzer Prize the following year. Today, it is required high school reading across the country, included along with the literary greats such as Steinbeck and Shakespeare. Although Lee continued to write after her success, she lacked faith in her work and never published again until 2015 when the “Mockingbird” sequel, “Go Set A Watchman,” was published by HarperCollins. Many of Lee’s friends knew that she was mostly blind Getting and deaf by this time, and doubted in Tune that she had fully consented to the publication of this work, which Jackie Bussjaeger was more of an unpolished and “lost” first draft of “Mockingbird.” Her lawyer pushed it to publication and, despite its controversial origin, “Watchman” was one of the most popular releases of the year. It is curious that Lee’s work should be drawn into national attention again so shortly after the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, since “Mockingbird” contains such a powerful message about the American justice system. Lee created Atticus Finch, a lawyer of incredible moral standards, to represent the voice of justice in her novel. In the book’s famous courtroom scene, Finch addresses the jury in his final defense of Tom Robinson: “There is one way in this country that all men are created equal—there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal of the Rockefeller, the stupid man the equal of an Einstein, and the ignorant man the equal of any college president. That institution, gentlemen, is a court. It can be the Supreme Court of the United States or the humblest J.P. court in the land, or this honorable court in which you serve. Our courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal.” Currently, Senate Republicans have refused to consider even holding a hearing to vet any candidate the president puts before them. It appears they want to wait for the next elected candidate to make the decision in order to avoid tipping the court to liberals. Minnesota Senator Al Franken (DFL), among others, has criticized the Senate Republicans for avoiding their obligation to the American people to provide a fully staffed Supreme Court. Wherever the divisions in the Supreme Court lie, however hotly contested, this iconic passage from “To Kill a Mockingbird” reminds Americans that the true purpose of the court is to respect every case and every person as having an individual voice. Franken said that the American people have already spoken, in electing Obama in the first place and giving him the responsibility of choosing the next justice. It appears that the Senate majority has lost sight of its responsibility to the American people. During this squabbling, its members are failing to adequately maintain the justice system to best serve the needs of the country. Perhaps a read-over of Lee’s work, or even a viewing of the Academy Award-winning film, could refresh their memory about the importance and respect that should be given to one of the country’s most revered institutions. Regardless of who is eventually chosen to fill the vacancy (and when), Lee’s message will continue to ring true to generations of American citizens. This book reminds us all that while differences will inevitably arise between groups of people, we must always aspire to respect the voices and stories of others.

Legislature must plan for the future
he 2016 legislative session will begin on March 8. It will be a much shorter session than usual – only ten weeks – but there are still a lot of things Minnesotans expect us to address. My goal as a senator is to create opportunities for all people to reach their potential; to satisfy their aspirations; to strengthen families; and create robust, vibrant and diverse comLegislator munities. Our current legislative work must Lingo consider future events, such as reRoger Chamberlain tiring baby boomers – the “silver tsunami” – while managing limited resources. This eventuality will significantly impact every aspect of our culture. We must properly prepare. We have to consider what our future will look like with every decision we make each year. Here are some of the more important issues the legislature will be wrestling with this session. Education – I will support policies that provide parents and educators more options and control over educational decisions. A few
ideas: Expand existing tax credits to include tuition; extend support for site-based, teacher empowered schools; create new solutions for educating dyslexic children; eliminate mandates; and improve funding equality. Lastly, I do not support a universal preschool mandate. This proposal is almost universally opposed. We must focus on current needs and priorities. We should not create another burden for our schools and remove options from parents. Healthcare – It is time to give Minnesotans needed relief and reevaluate MNsure. We were told it would improve healthcare, but all it has done is hurt families. Numerous reports, some from the Legislative Auditor, have found serious problems with MNsure. The program has caused huge increases in premiums and deductibles, while costing hundreds of millions of dollars. We have spent as much as $271 million providing public healthcare benefits to people who were not eligible for them! MNsure has also failed to attract the consumers needed to maintain the fi nancial viability of the system. People are working hard but losing ground. Republicans will continue to offer proposals that would improve fairness, save billions, and allow everyone access to quality affordable healthcare.
Transportation – I support a Republican plan to inject an additional $7 billion over ten years into roads and bridges, without tax increases. This can be accomplished by reallocating existing taxes, improving efficiencies at the Department of Transportation, and through a smarter use of debt. Taxes – With a $900 million surplus we need reevaluate our tax structure and fi nally provide tax relief for Minnesota families. We are taking too much and wasting too much. We should start by exempting Social Security and veterans’ pension from state income tax. It is also time to begin discussing a fair or flat tax plan for Minnesota. Debt – Any borrowing should focus on important infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and critical sewer and water systems. These are just a few common sense ideas that will create opportunities for all Minnesotans while improving the vitality of our communities. By 2020, retiring baby boomers will have a significant impact on our culture. We don’t need to fear this, but we must be smart about how we prepare for this event. Roger Chamberlain represents District 38 in the Minnesota Senate.

The unseen faces of suburban poverty
I
have the pleasure of giving tours to donors, community groups and prospective volunteers. Having done so many times I have grown accustomed to the reaction when I share that the Food Shelf serves over 500 households a month. The most common response is “Really!?” which is almost always accompanied with a jerk of the chin recoiling in surprise at the need in the White Bear Lake area. The myth that poverty is an urban issue dominates our assumptions which makes statistics like the Food Shelf’s so shocking. The increasing need in our area reflects a growing trend in the 7 county metro area suburbs and across the country. The fact of the matter is that as of 2000 the suburbs are now home to more individuals living in poverty than the city. In 2013 the number of individuals living in poverty in the metro area suburbs exceeded 167,000, an astounding 20,000 more than the cities
of Minneapolis and St. Paul (Brookings, Metropolitan Policy Program). In suburban Ramsey County alone we have seen an increase of almost 10,000 individuals (2013). Movers and Despite these statistics the need in Shakers our area remains a surprise. This raises Alicia Gattothe question, if the Petersen increase of those living in poverty in the suburbs has seen unprecedented and exponential growth, why don’t we see it? More often than not suburban poverty is hidden. Poverty in the ‘burbs looks unlike what we might expect making it difficult to detect. We can see poverty when homeless or hungry men and women stand at exit ramps or when gathered outside
of organizations like the Dorothy Day Center. In our area we rarely see people travelling by foot as their primary mode of transportation or congregating awaiting a much needed meal. Since this is our framework for identifying poverty we often fail to notice those who work full time and go ‘home’ to their car parked in the relative safety of a fully lit library or mall parking lot. According to the Wilder Research Center, one quarter of homeless adults in Minnesota are employed and almost 10% work at least 35 hours a week! Suburban poverty is surprising because it looks different from what we expect. At a quick glance we can’t distinguish the children bounding off the bus, just like our own, that have come from out of district because their family is living in shelter. Or the recent divorcee who, just like us, has a minivan, house and kids enrolled in school programs and now quietly comes to the food shelf to have fresh
produce at home. The increase of neighbors utilizing the Food Shelf reflects the quantifiable increase of those living in poverty. Despite the camouflaged and silent struggle of many in our area, the good news is that the Food Shelf, in collaboration with many local organizations, has become a hub of resources to help those hidden from view. Raising awareness about the prevalence of poverty in the White Bear Area is timely given that March marks the beginning of the 2016 Minnesota March FoodShare Campaign. During the month of March any donation of food or funds is matched. This month please consider helping our efforts providing food and support to our neighbors in need. Thank you! Alicia Gatto-Petersen is Program Manager for the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Will you be ready? Would you know what to do if a tornado or other disaster crippled White Bear Lake? Would you know how to help find a lost child or vulnerable adult or what to do if the person next to you suddenly falls to the ground? A year ago, I would not have known, but I took a class called CERT. CERT is a training program that prepares you to help yourself, your friends and your neighbors in the event of a disaster or emergency. CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team. We are a team of volunteers who have received specific training in basic emergency and disaster response skills, and agree to supplement existing emergency responders in a major disaster. During disasters, the response of any community’s emergency services may be delayed or overwhelmed for a variety of reasons. That leaves us — family, friends, co-workers — to provide for our own well-being until professional responders arrive. This very reality is the cornerstone of the CERT program. The goal of this program is to provide us with the basic skills that we can use; it’s about readiness, people helping people. It provides a realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where we initially will be on our own and the actions we take can make a difference. We received training from both the White Bear Police Department and the White Bear Fire Department in needed lifesaving skills, disaster preparedness, medical operations, damage assessment, fire suppression, light search and rescue, and disaster psychology. This year’s training is being hosted by the White Bear Lake Police Department, Monday evenings from 6:30-9 p.m. March 13 – May 2, 2016. There is no charge for the program. Applicants must be 18 years of age and able to pass a criminal background check. Applications are available on the department’s website at www.whitebearlake.org. Best contact 651-775-2277 or ituma@whitebearlake.org. We hope you will take this course and learn basic skills necessary to help yourself and those around you. We hope you will join our team.

Augmentation offers zero benefit Census data shows that a large percentage of White Bear Lake residents are retirees living on a fixed income. We are among those residents. We have lived in White Bear Lake for 15 years. We do not own a speedboat, sailboat, pontoon boat, fishing boat, jet ski or a fish house. We do not own lakeshore property nor do we have lake access as a few residents do. In short, we are among those middle- and low-income residents that are being asked to fund a lake
augmentation project that offers zero benefit to us. I have yet to hear or read a compelling argument that this boondoggle project benefits anyone beyond the residents who own lakeshore property or lake access. I have read that these residents are concerned that the value of their property has declined as the lake level has declined. My response is that you are asking the taxpayers of the community to bail you out of your loss. Well, if you can persuade community, county and state officials that your intentions are noble, they are not reading between the lines. But we see this for what it is ... a demand that taxpayers bail you out of your bad investment. Our property value has declined as the traffic on Hwy. 96 has increased. Perhaps the city would agree to build a decorative sound barrier behind our property so we can maintain our investment. Seems only fair. Georgia McMains White Bear Lake
Lake issue perplexing White Bear Lake, rising for the last three years, is incontrovertibly in the middle two feet of its historic range of 7.87 feet. This is an absolute fact, not subject to opinion or interpretation. Even if the current drought continues, the lake very likely will rise some more this spring. Why then will Ramsey County beach still be closed? I am perplexed. Louis W. Newell Mahtomedi
Kudos to fifth-grade restaurateurs Kudos to Willow Lane Elementary fifth-graders, Principal Chris Streiff, staff member Mrs. Leigh Anderson, fifth-grade teachers and Donatelli's owners and staff. A friend and I ate at the famous White Bear Lake restaurant several Tuesdays ago. Willow Lane fifth-graders seated, cooked and served us with graciousness, confidence and energy. We learned that Donatelli's staff came to the school in November to share what kind of work it takes to run such a busy place. Each student wrote a cover letter and an application telling which job, host/hostess, cook or server, he/she would like to do and why it would be a good fit. Friendly letters inviting the community were also written. Donatelli's staff interviewed and trained each of the new "employees." After two hours of hard work during lunch rush, shadowed by Donatelli's cheerful staff, the students were treated to pizza, pop and ice cream. Thanks to all for four Tuesdays of a great community-building treat. Barb Frederick White Bear Lake

Thank you Good Samaritans I was reminded why I like living in this community. Last Friday, Feb. 19, I drove from Mahtomedi to White Bear to run a couple errands only to find myself suddenly becoming extremely dizzy upon leaving my car. I remember grabbing the back of my car for support, then opening my eyes to see two young ladies and a bear of a guy trying to speak to me asking how they could help me. I recall being embarrassed that I apparently passed out and encouraged all three to go along their way, that I just needed to call my wife. Not finding my phone, the gentleman gave my wife a call and passed on my need for her to come pick me up. When asked if they could help me up, I think I said that I would be fine if I could just sit down somewhere. Before I knew it, the gentleman picked up my 250-pound frame and set me down on the sidewalk so he could assist my walk into a local business. After arriving at the hospital, I was then informed that I had gone into sudden cardiac arrest, causing me to drop to the sidewalk. Fortunately, my defibrillator did what it was supposed to do and I am now home after four days in the hospital. Besides being happy that my defibrillator did its job, I am so sorry that I did not give proper thanks to the three people who were kind enough to stop and offer me their help. This is why I have spent my whole 59 years in this community. Patrick McNamara Mahtomedi

BFF: Basketball friends forever BY JULIE KINK CONTRIBUTING WRITER
More than 30 years after they started playing basketball together, five teammates who were starters on the 1993-94 Mahtomedi girls basketball team are still close friends. Four of the women coach youth basketball in Mahtomedi: Megan (Wolgamot) Malvey, Lisa (Walline) Coy, Kelly (Fisher) McKusick and Beth Johnson. (The fifth, Anna Aunan, lives in Colorado, but previously coached Mahtomedi fifth- and sixth-graders.) The group of friends, who all turn 40 this year, shared their story with the Press. Q: How did this start? We were all playing basketball together by sixth grade. Our friendship began on the basketball court but the fun we had off the court — bowling with the team, going out to eat and hanging out together — made for great memories. In high school, we played together through our senior year in 1994. Our team won the Tri Metro Conference Championship our junior year and finished 21-4. Q: What do you coach now? Megan: I coach my sixth-grade son Ryan's team. I’m also coaching my daughter Kaili's third-grade team. I always knew I wanted to coach my kids because it was such a special experience having my dad as my coach growing up. I love to see when a player first “gets it,” whether “it” is an element of game strategy or a specific skill. Teaching the kids new skills, encouraging them to have fun and helping them develop a stronger sense of team, year after year, are my favorite parts of coaching. Lisa: I coach the sixth-grade traveling team my daughter Hannah plays on and am an assistant coach for my fourth-grade daughter Lauren’s traveling team. The gym is truly my happy

have coached track for 17 years. I can’t imagine sports and athletics not being part of my life. Currently, I coach Mahtomedi’s sixth-grade team with Lisa. I missed coaching basketball and thought it would be a great way to see Lisa, Megan, and Kelly more often and give back to the community that gave so much to me growing up.
Kelly: I’m currently coaching fourthgrade daughter Lexi’s traveling team. Lisa and I were lucky enough to coach our daughters together for four years while they were on the same team. I love helping create lasting memories for these girls on and off the court. I feel blessed to have these ladies in my life! I’m so thankful that basketball brought us together all those years ago and that we’re all still so close today.
Q: How are your teams doing? All of our teams are doing great, but we’re less concerned about their records and more interested in teaching them the game, the fundamentals and how to play as a team.
We all love coaching. Teaching kids about working together, developing confidence in themselves and being a contributing member of a team through basketball is even better. We all give back to the community and volunteer as coaches because we know firsthand how a great elementary/middle school sports experience can positively impact kids.
Q: What do you get out of coaching? Our friendship, which developed on the basketball court, is still strong more than 30 years later. This is a great example of the positive impact that youth sports can have on kids' lives. So many parents worry so much about
Q: Who inspired you? Our varsity coach, John Hardgrove. He taught us the game of basketball, but more importantly, he taught us to work hard, play as a team and trust each other. John also taught us that it’s important to give back.
Beth: I coached high school basketball at Richfield for nine years and
Q: What about off the court? Basketball is still a topic on all of our girls’ weekends. We laugh a lot when we're together. We also spend a fair bit of time talking basketball.

LEARNING ABOUT LLAMAS: Animals sacred to Peru’s Inca FROM PAGE 1A
been sacred to the Inca people and their descendents, the Quechuans. Not that people are silly about llamas. People don't treat llamas as gods unto themselves, used only for worship. Life is difficult enough without wasting a vital resource. Llamas are put to work just like every being living in the mountains. Although llamas are treated well, they're not regarded as drones the way we in the west sometimes treat our pets. Llamas are meant to be used and valued. Other things sacred to the Quechua people, such as rain, a rare green valley or the mountains themselves, are to be treasured and used without waste because mountain living is arduous. Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) gives, but people must work for those gifts. I came to realize that every Andino community keeps as many llamas as they can afford and would gladly take more, if they could. The llama was also important to the ancient Inca astronomers. Those early scientists, who accurately predicted El Niño seasons long before they began speaking Spanish, called Alpha and Beta Centauri in the southern sky, the “Llama's Eyes.” Easily located adjacent to the Llama's Eyes is the Southern Cross. All of these cultural llama insights came from our guide, Miguel, who was a shaman-in-training for other Peruvians. In other words, I didn't learn anything about what the people of Peru really think about their llamas by searching online. At the Wikipedia site, I learned such exciting facts as “The height of a fully-grown, full-sized llama … a camelid . . . is 1.7 to 1.8 m (5.6 to 5.9 feet) tall at the top of the head and can weigh between 130 and 200 kg (290 and 400 pounds) … Llamas typically live for 15-25 years, with some individuals surviving 30 years or more.” And: “The following characteristics apply especially to llamas: Dentition of adults: incisors 1/3, canines 1/1, premolars 2/2, molars

3/2; total 32. In the upper jaw, a compressed, sharp, pointed laniariform incisor near the hinder edge of the premaxila is followed ...” I did not find this information to be nearly as breathtaking as the view of Macchu Picchu. I wondered what Wikipedia had to say about llamas spitting and finally found material to corroborate insights I'd gained in Peru. “When correctly reared, llamas spitting at a human is a rare thing,” the free encyclopedia said. “Llamas are very social herd animals, however, and do sometimes spit at each other as a way of disciplining lower-ranked llamas in the herd.” If a llama had been reared to think of a human as another llama, it would then spit at the strangely behaved lower human-llama if irritated. The more irritated the llama is, the deeper it will hawk down into its lowest stomach chamber before spitting, the encyclopedia said. I tried to get near to llamas as often as I could — to the point of being a pest. Yet no hawking or spitting did I notice. The llamas I met were
obviously brought up properly. And anyway, the Quechua people have a solution for those essential llama-irritating activities. When they are about to pierce the ear of an alpha male llama to identify him as head of the herd, villagers will first pour two 16-ounce bottles of chicha (corn beer) down the llama's throat. The result? A llama that's too happy to spit or walk a straight line up and down the mountain. In addition to using the llama's eyes to navigate the night sky, the Quechua people use nearly every other part of the animal that they possibly can. The llama's back is used to carry loads of up to around 100 pounds, meaning that my llama-riding days were over a long time ago. The llama's wool is sheared and spun into yarn and rope, and its fine undercoat is used for handicrafts and garments. Its meat tastes like chicken (dark meat) and its fat is used in cooking and for burnt spiritual offerings. Llama dung is the only substance that makes agriculture possible in the high elevations. Even with vast amounts
of knowledge available at the click of a mouse, it's always more fun being there to learn things in person. I had more fun learning about Peru and about llamas in person than I ever would have by reading about them. Macchu Picchu is photogenic, but nothing beats being surrounded by it. I would never have heard the rushing of a waterfall online or know that a guinea pig tastes like chicken (dark meat). Nor could I smell aromatic cloves wafting throughout the countryside, drink chicha while I was learning or even chew some coca leaves to keep awake through it all. And anyway, coca leaves are a controlled substance in the United States, so I had to actually go to Peru to sample the medicinal benefits of them while at study. But that's a story for another time.

shore’s board of directors. The next step is to verify numbers on project estimates and work with the architects on the detail design phase. Elwell is keeping her fingers crossed the capital committee is successful in raising another $1 million by summer. Lending institutions want to see 75 percent of the money raised before they’ll issue a bridge loan to start construction, she said. If that doesn’t happen, the contractor will at least put in footings and wait until the money is raised. They do have the funds to complete the demolition work. The new theater will have seating for 240 versus 182, an orchestra pit, separate gender dressing rooms, a spacious lobby and ample restrooms. “Everyone is thrilled about that,” Elwell added. A separate area to construct scenes will eliminate the three- to four-week interval between plays (construction happens on stage currently), meaning there will be more performances. A concert series is planned for the first time in the new theater; there will be a five-show children’s series, plus the regular seven-show season. There is also a black box theater with flexible
seating for 72. As for the 1889 church-turned-community-theater on Stewart Avenue, that property will be sold to a developer. Artistic Director Ben Ratkowski considers the nonprofit community theater “a great steppingstone to professional theater.” “We have directors lined up at the door to direct our performances,” he said. According to Ratkowski, the Twin Cities is second only to New York City in number of theaters per capita. Chicago is third. “Actors, too, really want to come to Lakeshore Players and they put up with a not-very-glamorous ‘green room’ in the basement to act on that stage,” Spellman added. Elwell, in her 13th year as director, said it’s because they know they’ll have an audience. “We have such a great following. A lot of theaters can’t always guarantee an audience.” The new facility will be the pride of the northeast metro, noted Spellman, who resides in Shoreview. “We currently have 23,000 visits. We’re looking to triple that. It will have a huge economic benefit.” Anyone wishing to contribute to the campaign can find more information at www.lakeshoreplayers.org.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES The City Council conducted the following business at its Feb. 23 meeting: • Discussed a proposal for the Whitaker Street pedestrian crossing over Highway 61. Traffic experts with the engineering firm SEH Inc. proposed a design that will enhance the signed and marked crossing to make pedestrians more visible to drivers. It was noted MnDOT requires that enhancement include overhead warnings. The city will meet with the firm to discuss design parameters, specifications and costs. The design costs will be $14,000. The city will decide how to fund the project after it has the design. MnDOT has made it clear state funds will not be available.
West park will get this new playground equipment.
Councilman Dan Jones wanted it clarified that the design will be MnDOT-approved. City engineer Mark Burch said, “Yes, SEH has constructed these crossings before in other communities.” Added Councilman Doug Biehn: “If you want an exciting moment, stop for a pedestrian in that crosswalk and wait for cars to blow by you.” “Or rear-end you,” Jones added. • Approved purchase of new play equipment for West Park. The equipment was included in the 2016 budget at a cost of $91,000. The goal is to have the equipment installed by May 27. There will be slides, swings and a zip line from Minnesota Playground. Two of the old play sets will remain at the popular park. • Discussed a chicken ordinance. Councilman Kevin Edberg wants the subject revisited after a five-year hiatus. “Are we looking at a dead duck or is this something we want to revisit?” he asked. The council agreed to take another look at a possible five-hen, no-rooster ordinance. Biehn and Councilman Bill Walsh were both in favor. “I’ve asked my constituents: What do you think of chickens?” Walsh told the council. “I can’t find anyone who
says it’s a bad idea. I was surprised at the reaction.” Councilman Dan Jones said there would be restrictions. “Enforcement is critical. When things go wrong, I want them to be corrected very quickly,” he said. City Manager Ellen Richter said staff can research chicken ordinances in other cities and bring it back to council in April. Jones said the council should revisit the ordinance regarding farm animals in general, particularly pet pot-bellied pigs. • Discussed rental policy for city parks. The city has been approached by a for-profit business about holding a tournament at the disc golf course at Lakewood Hills Park. That request was denied because it could open a floodgate of requests for tournaments, displacing the drop-in users.
Edberg thought it could be a source of revenue to help fund parks and rec programs. Biehn thought an international tournament would be a “fantastic opportunity” to bring attention to the course. Jones was concerned that intense use for tournaments would harm the disc course and asked the city engineer/public works director his opinion. Burch agreed. “We turned down an international tournament here a couple years ago. It would tear up the course. We developed this for the local community,” he said. • Heard that the police department is considering installing a prescription drop-off site at the station. Councilman Steve Engstran was absent.

Green light for grant application aimed at lake links trail
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The city is keeping its fingers crossed that a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) grant will come through for the Old White Bear Avenue Trail. A grant application for funding was approved by City Council at its Feb. 23 meeting. The city has scored grant funds in the past awarded by the DNR, which helped build an uninterrupted trail from Lions Park to Ramsey Beach. Last year, however, the city was shut out for funds to do a segment of the lakefront trail along Old White Bear Avenue. The trail is part of the Lake Links Regional Trail along the west and north shores of White Bear Lake. The next segment will extend along Old White Bear Avenue from Lions Park
to South Shore Boulevard and east to connect with Hazel Street. In a memo to council, city engineer Mark Burch called the segment "one more critical link needed to further the vision of one day having a complete trail around the lake, as well as connecting neighborhoods, parks and schools south of White Bear Lake with the Marina Triangle district, downtown and the trail network north of the lake." The estimate for constructing the trail is $212,700. The grant provides up to 75 percent of the money with local governments required to provide a 25 percent cash match. Staff will request $150,000 from the DNR to construct the trail. The city will pay the remaining $62,700. Debra Neutkens
Continuing the Tradition & Expanding the Reach of Catholic School Excellence!

The Catholic Schools Center of Excellence is a nonprofit organization whose two-part mission is to help Catholic elementary schools advance and maintain excellence while increasing student enrollment. CSCOE brings innovative ideas, sound business practices, proven strategies and financial resources to help meet each school’s specific business and academic needs. This approach ensures our schools can grow and sustain for years to come! Why? Because Catholic Schools work. They are caring. They are community. They are known for academic excellence. They are heralded for instilling moral values that children carry with them for a lifetime to all parts of the world. As Gail Dorn, President of CSCOE states “Our Catholic Schools develop the character, spirituality and intellectual growth of all of our students and this cannot be found in ANY other place besides a Catholic school. Catholic education is important in our society and for our Church. We are focused on building excellence and enrollment in our schools!” Our two schools aspire to offer a Catholic School Education to as many children as possible. Frassati Catholic Academy, with its focus on STREAM, and
St. Jude of the Lake Catholic IB World School, with its focus on the International Baccalaureate learning methods, develop the whole student with rigorous academics in a faithful setting. Together, our parish communities and the Catholic Schools Center of Excellence are working hard to ensure that every child has the opportunity to attend so that they can be brought closer to God and the world. Visit www.cscoe-mn.org for more information on what is happening with Catholic Education in our area and contact our schools to schedule a tour and see a Catholic Education in action.

Bears, Zephyrs tumble in section hockey BY MARK AGUIRRE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Section 4 turned out to be a dire place for both the White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi boys' hockey teams this season. Both the Bears and Zephyrs were ousted in semifinal play, concluding their respective seasons. White Bear Lake fell prey to Stillwater's skate to its first state tournament, losing 4-0 to the touted Ponies in the Class 4AA semifinals. Stillwater went on to tip Hill-Murray in overtime in the title contest, and are seeded second in the upcoming state tournament. Stillwater (26-1-1) led White Bear 1-0 after the opening period on a Jackson Cates goal, and Cates (short handed), Simon Sagissor, and Noah Cates (power play) added unanswered markers in the middle frame for their

winning margin. Brandon Dornfeld had 14 saves and Bob Parenteau four in the Bear nets, and Josh Benson turned away 18 shots and picked up the shutout victory for the Ponies. The Bears tied and lost to Stillwater during Suburban East Conference play this winter. White Bear Lake finished the season with an 11-15-1 overall record. Eagles fly high What's a top seed and a 3-0 lead worth in Section 4A boys' hockey circles this season. Not much if you're Mahtomedi. The top-seeded Zephyrs were shoved out of the section last week when they were upset 6-5 by fifth-seeded Totino-Grace in the semifinals. Mahtomedi led 3-0 in the second period before the Eagles exploded for four consecutive goals to take a 6-4

lead. Totino got three goals from Ryan Johnson to spark their comeback effort. The Zephyrs got two goals and as many assists from Andrew Kangas, while Tyler Chalupsky added a goal and a pair of assists. Jared Fladebo and Tim Kuivinen each had a goal, and Tommy Stelow picked up three assists. Mahtomedi had a 42-36 advantage in shots-on-goal, with Will Swanson kicking away 30 Totino shots. The Zephyrs finished the season with a 17-7-3 overall record. Second-seeded SPA went on to win the section and gain a berth in the state Class A tournament with a 7-1 rout of Totino in the finals last Friday night at Roseville Arena. SPA faces St. Cloud Cathedral in the state tourney quarterfinals on Wednesday at Xcel Arena.

Mahtomedi’s Devin Fitzpatrick wrestles to 2nd at state finals After qualifying last week, Senior Devin Fitzpatrick, Junior Evan Lawrence, and 8th Grader Reid Lawrence headed to the State Tournament focused and ready to compete. The final wrestling matches of the season were wrestled Saturday night at the Xcel Energy Center in front of close to 10,000 fans. Wrestling in his 5th state tournament, Devin Fitzpatrick earned a spot in the state finals Saturday night by winning three consecutive matches in dominating fashion. In his preliminary match, Devin defeated Chase Pomeroy, Winona-Winona Cotter, by fall in 2:44. This was Devin’s 101st career pin. In his quarterfinal match, Devin won by technical fall 18-3 over Perham’s Ty Moser. Fitzpatrick used several takedowns to defeat Dru Kuchenbaker from Milaca 13-4 in the semi-finals. In his final match of the season, the state finals, Devin came up short, losing to New Prague’s Griffin Pariot. Devin finished with 181 career wins, a Mahtomedi record. He will wrestle at division II St Cloud State next season. Junior Evan Lawrence lost his preliminary match to Owen Henze from Waconia. In his preliminary match, Reid Lawrence lost to Jaxson Rohman of Fairmont-Martin County West.
At the season banquet on Sunday, the following awards were given to Zephyr wrestlers: Rookie of the Year - Alec Zell, Most Improved JV - Hunter Hall, Most Improved JV - Hunter Wilsey, Most Improved Varsity - Evan Lawrence, Most Improved Varsity - TJ Tumbleson, and Outstanding Wrestler - Devin Fitzpatrick.

BY CRAIG NASVIK WBL WRESTLING COACH
The White Bear Lake wrestling team sent three Bears to the individual state championships at the Xcel Energy Center this past Friday and Saturday. Competing at state were Seniors Tom Adair at 113 and Joe Dittel at 182, who both earned the trip as runners-up for their weight classes. Sophomore J.J. Andress competed as the 4AAA 106 Champion. In the first round Andress started the day with a 9-8 victory over his opponent, Patrick Lockwood, from Minneapolis Washburn. Adair came up short losing 3-1 against his opponent, Riley Becker from Owatonna. This loss meant that Becker would have to win his next match to allow Adair an opportunity to get into the true wrestle-back round. Joe Dittel’s first round match was against Minnetonka’s Logan Foote. Dittel competed the best he could but came up short 9-0, continuing to show signs of weakness in his shoulder from last week’s injury. Dittel faced the same dilemma as Adair, also needing his first round wrestler to win in order to continue, but Foote lost so Dittel’s competition
was done. Both Adair and Dittel had good runs in their senior years and will be missed next season. Andress competed in the second round against Anoka’s Colby Njos. This match was tight from the start to finish. Andress would lose a close one to Njos 3-2. This put Andress up against Brainerd’s Brad Patnode in the wrestle-backs. Andress would need a win in order to continue on to Saturday’s rounds. Andress dominated his opponent, pinning him in the second period. Next up would be Reuben Cephas from Rosemount. Andress started the match with a takedown and was leading 2-1 after the first period. The match would go back and forth and with the score 3-3 towards the end of the second period. Andress got caught in a tussle and gave up 4 which made his third period an uphill task, as he was down 7-3. A takedown by Cephas sealed the win for Andress’ Rosemount opponent, 9-3. The wrestling trio from White Bear Lake competed and represented us well. JJ Andress will be back to compete for another couple seasons. As mentioned, Adair and Dittel capped off their high school wrestling careers with state tournament experiences.
Pioneers oust Mahtomedi boys
starting next season” said Ray Kirch, Athletic and Activities Director at Mahtomedi. “We were able to get the mat at a reduced price thanks to the tournament and generous contributions from our wrestling boosters.” Submitted
Eighth-seeded Hill-Murray came through with the upset of the season in boys' section basketball when they ousted heavily favored Mahtomedi in the opening round of 4AAA. After losing twice to the Zephyrs in league play this winter, including 62-26 just this past Feb 5, the visiting Pioneers dropped a 59-58 shocker their hosts. Hill-Murray led 29-28 at the break, and were led by Simeon Davis with 21 points. Shayne Frost and Parker Fox paced Mahtomedi with 22 and 15 points respectively. Joining the Pioneers in the Section 4AAA semifinals were fourth-seeded Totino-Grace, No. 2 St. Paul Johnson and sixth-seeded Fridley. The Zephs finished with a 19-8 overall record, while Hill-Murray improved to 6-20.
Royals eliminate Bear boys 21, Blake Charles added 18, and Carter Kaun 16. Woodbury faces fourth-seeded North St. Paul, and second-seeded Cretin-Derham Hall plays No. 3 Tartan in the semifinals.
