Moving day: One of sure signs of spring With temperatures well above freezing, ice houses were on the move over the slushy surface of White Bear Lake last week as area residents got ahead of the DNR deadline for fish houses to be removed from area lakes. The deadline for fish house removal in the southern half of Minnesota was by the end of the day Monday, March 2. Following the removal of the temporary shelters, members of local Boy Scout troops, the White Bear Lake Conservation District, geocachers and other community volunteers will be conducting a lake and shore cleanup effort starting at Bellaire Beach on the south side of White Bear Lake 10 a.m. Saturday, March 7.
Theater offers state-of-art sight, hearing aids BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER
Lakeshore Players Theatre is now completely accessible. Not only is the theater seating handicapped-accessible and the floor plan wheelchair-friendly, now hard-of-hearing patrons can attend a performance with open captioning and those visually impaired can hear a play-by-play in their ear. “It’s a really big step for us,” said Elena Glass, Lakeshore’s development manager. “These services put us more on par with major theaters in the metro.” A grant from the Minnesota State Arts Council helped Lakeshore purchase the equipment for open cap-

ST. PAUL — Court appearances continue in the state’s case against Water Gremlin. On March 4, appellate court judges will consider this issue: Did the district court exceed its authority when ordering Water Gremlin to conduct lead testing and abatement at the homes of current and former employees? The court-ordered relief to test and clean homes of workers was proposed by the commissioners of Health and of Labor and Industry, the respondents in this case. Judge Leonardo Castro agreed with the proposal and ordered Water Gremlin last November to conduct a residential cleanup as part of a Phase II remediation plan. Water Gremlin challenged that portion of the order, its attorney claiming it goes beyond both the court’s and commissioners’ statutory authority. According to the township company, the residential testing and cleanup provision affects about 1,000 homes and could cost between $3.8 and $15.9 million. State commissioners requested the action in late October after blood tests showed children of employees had elevated lead levels. The Department of Health claimed statutory authority based on public health nuisance. Water Gremlin attorney Thaddeus Lightfoot noted in his appellant brief that just five paragraphs of the 26-paragraph Phase II order are objectionable. “Because of the nature of the products Water Gremlin produces, exposure to lead is inescapable,” wrote Lightfoot in his appeals brief, adding that exposure in the workplace is regulated by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational and Health Administration and the Department of Labor and Industry in Minnesota. “There are no allegations that Water Gremlin employees have at any time

Council hears from residents affected by proposed sidewalk addition BY BROOKE WOHLRABE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR LAKE — More than a dozen community members came before the City Council last week to share their thoughts on two proposed sidewalk additions in the city. At the Feb. 26 City Council meeting, City Engineer Paul Kauppi presented details of the city’s 2020 mill and overlay project, which includes new sidewalk segments on Elm Street and Highland Avenue. Both streets are key links for residents who rely on alternate modes of transportation, such as walking and biking, he noted. “The sidewalk on Highland Avenue makes sense only if the Elm sidewalk is put in. That would connect Elm up to County Road E, which is another major east-west corridor,” Kauppi said. The number of driveways, utility impacts and topography are the city's primary factors in determining sidewalk placement. Sidewalks have been proposed on the north side of Elm and the east side of Highland, according to Kauppi.
The project would be paid through assessments and other city funding sources. The assessment rate is $14.20 per front foot for a single-family home. For areas where full pavement replacement is required, the assessment rate is $28.41 per front foot for a single-family home and $36.93 per front foot for multifamily properties. The assessment payment would be repaid over a 10-year period at an interest rate of just over 2%, first payable on 2021 taxes. If the project moves forward, construction bids would be opened in March; the contract would be awarded in April. Construction would likely begin in April and is anticipated to be finished by fall. Many residents said they don’t think there’s a good reason to install a sidewalk alongside Highland Avenue. Some longtime residents insisted that no one would use a sidewalk and said they do not want to lose part of their yard or their driveway. “That’s a lot of money to put into something that gets little to no use,” said a resident. One person said that no one shovels their sidewalk, so people walk in the
“The sidewalk on Highland Avenue makes sense only if the Elm sidewalk is put in. That would connect Elm up to County Road E, which is another major east-west corridor,” Paul Kauppi White Bear Lake City Engineer street anyway. “(With) all due respect, the city does a lousy job of cleaning the sidewalks,” said another resident. The council directly addressed some of those concerns. “I do believe the sidewalk is necessary on Elm,” said Councilman Steve Engstran, who represents that ward. However, he said that he does not believe a sidewalk on Highland is necessary. Councilman Dan Jones said he’s tired
of hearing people complain about the city’s snow removal job. “I think our residents can get out and scrape the 2 inches left behind by the city,” he said. Ultimately, the council unanimously voted to proceed with the project as planned, including the sidewalk on Elm Street, but without the addition of a sidewalk on Highland Avenue. The council also approved a resolution ordering the improvements, approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for the project.
Bellaire Avenue sidewalk project ordered The City Council also moved ahead with a project to add a sidewalk on the west side of Bellaire Avenue. The project would cost approximately $1.8 million and would be funded through assessments and other city funding sources. The single-family assessment rate for this project is $40.52 per front foot. The assessment would be paid over 15 years at an interest rate of just over 2%, first payable on 2021 taxes. Bids will be opened in March, construction will likely start in May, and the project is expected to be complete by September.
‘The Gathering’ visits City Council The Gathering ‘works to serve and engage those with memory loss’ BY BROOKE WOHLRABE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council heard a brief presentation Feb. 26 from several volunteers from The Gathering of White Bear Lake. Helen Gehrenbeck informed council that that The Gathering works to serve and engage those living with memory loss who can’t reside in a traditional senior center. Twelve years ago, an initial meeting was called for anyone interested in providing respite for caregivers of those with early-to-mid-stage memory loss. An ad was put in the newspaper and 13 people showed up for the first meeting, including Carolyn Klaver of Lyngblomsten. Those present quickly realized they represented seven area churches. Soon after, the Northeast Consortium of The Gathering of White Bear Lake was created and approved by Lyngblomsten; 2nd Half with Lyngblomsten is the parent organization of The Gathering. “We meet every Thursday in two different churches. We provide hot lunches,” Gehrenbeck said. She explained that volunteers used to make the lunch, but that ended. The group then looked to see if any local restaurants would be interested in supporting them. Gehrenbeck thanked several local businesses that have donated food for the meetings. They are: Cub Foods, Cup and Cone, Donatelli’s, Festival Foods, Grandma’s Bakery, Keys Cafe, Kowalski’s, Manitou Grill, Panera Bread, Subway and VFW Post 1782. “We as volunteers here in White Bear are very

grateful for the response from these businesses, and we really feel that their overwhelming generosity is a testimony to our overarching goal of encouraging White Bear Lake in becoming a dementia-friendly community,” said Gehrenbeck. In other action, the council: • Heard from City Manager Ellen Hiniker on the topic of compensation for mayor and city council positions, which has been discussed at previous meetings. “At the minimum, the staff thinks it would be appropriate to look at it every four years or so,” she said.
Councilman Dan Jones said he thinks every two years would be fair so that those voted in on other years can have a consideration as well. Councilman Doug Biehn also agreed that every two years is good, because then it would be a smaller increase each time that would keep up with where it should be. The council took no action on the matter but is going to keep the topic on its radar. • Swore in two new police officers, Jordan Belvins and Melissa Schmidt, and promoted Officer Isaac Tuma to sergeant.
WHITE BEAR LAKE CONSERVATION DISTRICT NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The same slate of officers returns for another term on the White Bear Lake Conservation District board of directors. Reelected at the February meeting were Bryan DeSmet, White Bear Township, chairman; Mark Ganz, Mahtomedi, vice chair; and Diane Longville, White Bear Township, secretary-treasurer. In other business at the Feb. 18 meeting, the board: • Heard a complaint from Brian McGoldrick, owner of Docks of White Bear Lake. He told the board its action in January regarding his number of slips took him by surprise. McGoldrick indicated he had a five-year permit from the DNR for 260 slips. The board approved 225 plus 10 transient slips due to the environmental impact of too many boats in Commercial Bay. “I didn’t know about concerns with my marina or water quality issues,” McGoldrick said. “I never heard from the board and I couldn’t attend the meeting for personal reasons.” The marina owner asked the board
“We are trying to avoid terracing along the shoreline or flattening out natural grade simply for aesthetics reasons. The code is written in a broad way. We’ve left room for our city engineer to make determinations.” Samantha Crosby City Zoning Coordinator to reconsider his permit and to take a year and figure out the slip issue in the crowded bay. “Should it be by water depth or linear footage of shoreline?” he suggested. “We will go along with anything, as long as it’s the same benefits for everyone.” • Heard a proposed zoning change regarding lakeshore landscaping from Samantha Crosby, the city’s zoning coordinator. The proposal limits the size of riprap, or chunks of stone, along the shoreline. It also requires native vegetation to provide a “more ecological transition between land and water.” The change also limits use of retaining walls within the
shore impact zone. Crosby said she was there to get the word out “so people can process the proposal.” The ordinance will go through City Council approval in the near future. Board member Scott Costello asked if the change applies to all lakes within the city; Crosby said yes, it applies to Department of Natural Resources lakes but only to changes along the shoreline. Board counsel Alan Kantrud asked Crosby if other cities around the lake are suggesting similar ordinance language. Her answer was “No, this is a solo endeavor of the city. And no, we aren’t looking for the district to participate.”
Costello then informed Crosby that the board does have “say in this kind of thing,” albeit advisory. “We could coordinate what you’re doing with other cities,” he added. The city’s goal is to be user-friendly, Crosby said. “We are trying to avoid terracing along the shoreline or flattening out natural grade simply for aesthetics reasons. The code is written in a broad way. We’ve left room for our city engineer to make determinations.” • Accepted the resignation of Mahtomedi representative Geoff Ratte, which leaves a vacancy for the spot. • Approved a Manitou Island swim area. The 2,500-square-foot area will be designated by buoys. The island association also received required permission from the Ramsey County Sheriff’s office. • Approved the Redpath waterski course. There was one change from previous years. The slalom course must be moved twice a month now instead of every two weeks as in the past. Debra Neutkens

Engaged youth
oung Writers It’s outstanding to see young community members engage through the written and printed word in our local newspaper. The last few weeks we have seen more letters to the editor from youth writers than I have seen in my time with Press Publications. Local school-age kids to young adults have written letters with regard to local environmental concerns. This is impressive when the focus of many youth is online and we are living in what some would call a virtual world. After we reviewed these letters we reached out to confirm that Publisher’s the kids had their parents permission. I encourage students around our View community to keep learning, ask and stay involved with Carter Johnson questions helping others locally. Get it right Here at Press Publications we love letters to the editor. We love the dialogue and the debate over questions that effect us locally. With any forum, we face challenges over who we should allow to write and how often, and what topics are fair game. With politics today being so polarizing, one might think an open forum would be dead. It is alive and well and we appreciate the respect most of our writers have to keep our sense of community. We have created guidelines to help, but we don’t always get it right. Just a few years ago I was duped with letters to the editor in the Quad Community Press during an election campaign. I had personally approved and published the same letter submitted by two different people. With what we have now learned are “LT campaigns” - where politicians pay people to submit letters to the editor - this year we responded with a nominal fee for political endorsement letters. We still publish 99% of all letters that meet our guidelines for free. Letters can help challenge a community through thought and discussion, provide accountability and ultimately make it a better place to live. We recently published a letter in the White Bear Press that pushed our guidelines and could be considered bullying of another letter writer. We work hard to get everything done right and the challenge is sometimes we make mistakes, such as letters not being screened as well as they should be. When we make mistakes, I think we need to own up to them. I personally apologize for publishing this type of letter. I ask our readers to continue to use our opinion page as a forum, but be civil, civic minded and maybe ask yourself when you write, whether you would be embarrassed if your mother read it. Youth at disadvantage Today our youth are at a disadvantage with first time jobs, as there just aren’t many opportunities for kids. Employers often don’t want to hire someone with little to no experience, and they worry about reliability. Here at Press Publications we offer youth the opportunity to be contract carriers. This week we answered three voicemails from elementary school students wanting to be youth newspaper carriers. Having a paper route is an opportunity for kids to run their own business delivering the paper. Often times it's less than a hour a week, youth can learn responsibility, time management and customer service. They also gain real work experience at an early age. A paper route can be a stepping stone to the next opportunity. Throughout our country, youth job opportunities are few and far between and I believe this generation is getting a bad rap that they don’t want to work. I am encouraged based on the recent inquiries I’ve received. This great nation was built on hard work and careful spending. So let’s start making it easier to get our youth into the workplace so we can continue to build our nation and economy. It’s up to the law makers to remove the barriers and reward those business who are willing to work with our young people. If any of our young readers are interested in a paper route, please call our circulation department at 651-407-1234 and leave your name, phone number and address so we can find an area that you might be able to own your first newspaper delivery business. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

All aboard for summer fun
t’s March in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and the anticipation of thawing waters are on the minds of most Minnesotans. That’s because it means we can soon enjoy those open waters with the plethora of activities it provides. There are two areas of concern when it comes to water recreation: 1. Safety while operating powered vessels 2. Preservation of our natural resources Here are five rules of etiquette regarding boating: 1. Read the rules. Your owner’s manual will include navigation rules, right of way priorities, how to operate your vessel and the importance of avoiding alcohol and drugs while boating. It is the responsibility of the operator to know and adhere to local laws. 2. Restrict the noise. Loud music not only aggravates homeowners living along the lake, but it poses a safety risk if you have a skier in tow to what the spotter might be trying Movers & as to tell the driver. It’s considerate that you also reduce noise levels in the Shakers early mornings and evenings. 3. Respect the distance. Never Julie Frantz drive directly behind a skier or surfer or try to ride their wake if operating a personal watercraft. The risk is great that you could harm them if they fall. Keep at least 150-200 feet from objects such as docks, shorelines, and marinas. 4. Reduce your speed- slow down to posted limits in a “no wake” zone, when passing a small fishing boat, or pulling into a dock or marina. 5. Raise the bar – As the captain of your ship, it’s your responsibility to insure the safety of each individual on your powered vessel. You are required to carry one wearable flotation device for each passenger on board and one throwable
device. Most importantly, don’t drive in such a way that you lose a person overboard. Drive for the comfort of the passenger. As for passengers, remove your shoes as you board the boat, offer to bring drinks, snacks and offer to help pay for gas and stay for the clean up after the trip. Here are five rules of etiquette regarding preservation of our natural resources: 1. Do not “heave ho” your trash overboard. We’ve all seen pictures of aquatic life destroyed because careless individuals released recyclables and other non-organic trash into the water. Have a container on board to store all trash and place in a proper bin at the end of your trip. 2. Do not use the lake as a “loo.” Use a porta-potty and empty it at a dump station or find a public restroom located at most boat launches. 3. Do not use phosphate-based soap in the water. There are biodegradable or phosphate free soaps available that will help protect the environment. 4. Do not perform heavy cleaning or maintenance on your boat when it’s in the water, but instead move it on land to prevent toxic chemicals from entering the water. 5. Do not overfill your gas tank or change oil without precautions in catching petroleum products that would contaminate the water. Obeying the rules of etiquette not only helps you stay safe while operating your favorite water craft, but it will help preserve our environment so we can all enjoy water recreation for generations to come.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Responses appreciated I am grateful for the responses to my letter of a few weeks ago. A lack of reaction would have been disappointing, similar to throwing a party and having nobody show up. I appreciate the level of agreement we were able to enjoy. The first response stated, “Science is not without its share of errors,” a point I endeavored to make. Open peer-review discussion of questions and disagreements will lead us all into greater consensus, whereas labeling and name-calling may only promote retreat into tribalistic orthodoxies. The second letter writer’s engagement in stewardship of the Earth’s resources is most welcome. He can be assured that he is doing it not without my involvement, albeit in perhaps different circles. I honestly don’t wish to wind up, as did the prodigal son, sleeping with the pigs. The Earth, as also our republic, is a magnanimous gift. We can keep one at the expense of the other. Or we can engage one another, as neighbors and citizens, in a robust yet civil and respectful manner, as we steward both. My vote is for the latter. And a thank-you goes to the White Bear Press for printing my over-the-limit letter. Local newspapers are an essential ingredient in maintaining a free citizenry. James Nash White Bear Lake
Liberty at risk I'm writing to comment on Bill Kolesar's letter (Feb. 19) where he offers his opinion about the Senate Republicans’ vote on impeachment. I'll begin with his second point first, where he says that Jonathan Turley noted the House "lacked testimony from firsthand witnesses" and "concurred there was no proof that laws were broken by the president." The reason there weren't more firsthand witnesses (although one can argue that Ambassador Sondland, was, in fact, a firsthand witness) is that the president ordered potential witnesses not to respond to subpoenas to testify, which led to the second article of impeachment, obstruction of Congress. The president also refused to submit a single subpoenaed document, something that has never been done in any other impeachment. Also, there have never been Senate trials in an impeachment without witnesses. So, the excuse Mr. Kolesar cites was caused by the president. Then, he cites Alan Dershowitz's defense that the "president committed no crime worthy of impeachment." There are many other similarly admired lawyers such as Lawrence Tribe (also from Harvard) who completely disagreed with Mr. Dershowitz's position. In fact, Mr. Dershowitz said the opposite, that a crime didn't have to be committed, in the Clinton impeachment. It doesn't stand to reason that a president who asks foreign powers to investigate potential political rivals is something that is OK. In fact, our founders were most concerned about the threat of foreign influence in our government. If Republicans are honest and it was a Democratic president who had done this, I doubt they would see it as so innocuous. I do have great admiration for Sen. Mitt Romney, who showed real courage in weighing the evidence and voting to impeach despite knowing he would face a great deal of vitriol. The other senators who said Trump would learn
5A
OBITUARY NOTICES a lesson couldn't have been more incorrect, as we've seen his behavior become even more dangerous as he takes more control over the Department of Justice and, now, the intelligence agencies. These actions fly in the face of Mr. Kolesar's assumption that our liberty is safe under this president. Louise DiCesare Mahtomedi
Repairs to drainage ditch needed Thank you, Mr. Nyblom. Vadnais Lakes Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) was established in 1986 and was to maintain the ditches. In 2016, it was discovered they were unaware of this when the homeowners of the wetland were trying to figure out why the water level on the wetland was so high and never went down. After living in my home for 33 years with no water in my basement, my basement has been destroyed and I am pumping 17,000 gallons a day. It was discovered that one of the homeowners of the drainage ditch had filled it in. VLAWMO doesn't think this has anything to do with it. The ditch has never been cleaned out. It hired Houston Engineering to conduct a study to recommend repairs. It was recommended the tree in this drainage ditch to be removed. To date, it is still there. They are drowning us out. Before VLAWMO starts new projects, they should repair the damage they have caused from neglect of the ditch maintenance. Leslie Bello Vadnais Heights
Rising water table floods homes Terry Nyblom’s letter dated Feb. 19 was well said. Nowadays my sump pump rarely shuts off. Most of the people who run our watershed districts concentrate on holding back runoff in ponds, hoping for settling and nature to clean the water. They do not care that raising the water levels in wetlands raises the water table and floods homes. It is a question of what our ditches were designed for, and not what the watershed — Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization — wishes to do. Mary Haglund Vadnais Heights
Rules for bikers on new trail The Lake Links Trail may soon become a reality. We are walkers and enjoy walking the Mark Sather Trail portion, also known as Lake Avenue, but unfortunately do not feel safe if there are bikers riding this trail. Hikers and bikers need to be assigned designated lanes to use. Rules of the trail need to be posted, read and followed by all users. What safety provisions will be in place for the Lake Links Trail? We spry seniors are looking forward to safely walking the entire Lake Links Trail! Patti and Steve Peterson White Bear Lake
Climate has always changed Contrary to the assertions of the climate change alarmists, there is a large body of accepted, scholarly and persuasive evidence that supports a very skeptical position. The global atmospheric computer models are seriously flawed and ignore much clear science. Increased
levels of human-caused CO2 have a minimal effect — it is only 0.5% of the so-called greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Climate always has changed, sometimes in unusual or unexpected ways. The mega-eruption of Tambora in 1815 caused very intense global cooling and worldwide crop failures for two years. The ocean level has risen and fallen roughly 1,000 feet every couple hundred thousand years for the last several million years, with a few hiccups. So, ditch the dogma and dig in; make up your own mind. It is a complicated matter that does not lend itself to adequate coverage in forums such as this. Petitionproject.org is one of many websites that are skeptical. This one has over 30,000 names/ signatures, all scientists, 9,000 of them Ph.D.s. Here are three excellent books: "The Skeptical Environmentalist," by Lomborg; "Global Warning, Global Warming," by Benarde; and "Climate Change: The Facts," by Moran. All contain well-sourced references and extensive bibliographies. So does the internet, if you are careful. Be ready to be amazed. Assertions of settled science must be regarded with suspicion. Remember Einstein’s comment when told about a book that cited 100 scientists who absolutely rejected the Theory of Relativity. He reportedly said, “One should have been enough.” They were dead wrong. Based on the facts, I believe the Global Climate Models to be 99% bunk. We have far worse problems, including the current indoctrination of our youth on this matter. Louis W. Newell Mahtomedi
Other illnesses deserve attention, funding Although the coronavirus, or COVID-19, has been monopolizing recent headlines, other serious infectious diseases have wreaked havoc on communities for centuries. In fact, illnesses like tuberculosis (TB) kill 4,100 people every day in comparison to the total 2,772 deaths caused by the coronavirus. Even more disheartening, these TB deaths are entirely preventable because treatment for TB (unlike the coronavirus) has existed for the past 70 years. These illnesses disproportionately impact impoverished communities that lack the funds and infrastructure to support comprehensive treatment. However, federal programs such as The Global Fund and the Bilateral USAID program offer aid to these communities. The Global Fund is an international partnership that aims to invest resources to end the epidemics of HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria, alleviating the effects of these diseases on impoverished communities worldwide. The Global Fund alone has helped prevent 27 million unnecessary deaths in over 120 countries. The efforts to diminish the impacts of TB are further supported by the Bilateral USAID TB programs, which promote the strengthening of health systems to diagnose and treat TB. By requesting Congress to commit $400 million for USAID bilateral TB funding and $1.56 billion for the Global Fund, we have the ability to end the unnecessary loss of life. I urge my fellow citizens to call upon their federal and district representatives and bring attention to this issue and advocate for this funding. Isabel Birkeland White Bear Lake
Mabel Louise Holman Age 84, passed away peacefully surrounded by family February 20, 2020. Born in rural Ladysmith, Wisconsin, Mabel married Merlin Holman June 9, 1956 and raised their family in Conrath. She devoted her life to putting the needs of others before her own. Her compassion and desire to help family and friends was a gift she gave willingly and was a blessing to all who knew and loved her. Outside the home, she served her community as a school cook in the Flambeau and White Bear Lake school districts for many years, once again allowing her love for children to shine. During retirement she and Merlin lived at The Deerfield senior living center in New Richmond, WI where she served new found friends as a volunteer to those in need of care, comfort and support. Her final years were spent in the White Bear Lake/Mahtomedi, MN area where she continued to share her love and concern for others to the very end. She was preceded in death by her parents Earl and Anna Phetteplace, one brother, two sisters and three grandchildren. She is survived by her husband of sixty-three years, seven children, twenty-one grandchildren, nineteen great grandchildren, one brother and one sister. Mabel will be remembered by her family as a devoted wife, loving mother, proud grandmother and great grandmother. We always knew we were loved!

Diabetes walk a personal cause for sibling BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER
Fundraisers spell out “Thank you” at the Mall of America walk for diabetes.
at jdrf.org, a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows a nearly 30% increase in Type 1 diabetes (T1D) diagnoses in the United States in just two years. Youth cases are growing most sharply among minority groups. The CDC’s 2020 National Diabetes Statistics Report cites that in the U.S., T1D diagnoses included 1.4 million adults, 20 years and older, and 187,000 children younger than 20. That totals nearly 1.6 million Americans with T1D, up from 1.25 million people — an increase of nearly 30% — from 2017. Researchers don’t know the exact cause of T1D but a family history puts people at higher risk. Viral infections can be a trigger. Diet and lifestyle are not linked to T1D. The cause for diabetes isn’t the Cochrans’ only crusade. The couple do outreach for veterans causes, too, particularly those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. “We feel strongly about giving back informatio

Once a year for the last eight years, a team from Trinity Automotive has walked on behalf of Type 1 diabetes, the event marking a heartbreaking milestone for the company’s owners. The annual JDRF fundraiser at Mall of America in February coincides with the anniversary of Jason Wright’s death Feb. 25, 2012. He was 21 when he died from Type 1 complications. His sister Jessica Cochrane, owner of Trinity Automotive with husband Dave, participates as a memorial to him. JDRF stands for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, an advocacy group that is the world’s largest nonprofit funder of Type 1 diabetes research. It’s an organization close to her heart. “I didn’t know JDRF existed until after my brother passed away,” Cochrane recalled. “Jason felt so alone with his struggles with the disease. If we had known about this organization, maybe things would have been different.” Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone essential to turning carbohydrates into energy. It strikes both children and adults and is unrelated to diet and lifestyle. There is no cure, yet. Cochrane and her husband Dave donated $1,000 to the foundation from this year’s walk. Trinity matches the money raised up to $2,000. It wasn’t her best year, Cochrane said, but every donation helps accelerate the work of JDRF to find a permanent cure for the disease, turning Type 1 into what she calls “Type none,” and improve the lives of those living with the disease. According to the foundation’s website

the display. It includes the name of the character speaking and sounds like a ticking clock or bell chime. People who are hard of hearing but don’t use hearing aids for whatever reason can catch what is happening on stage if their hearing is compromised in some way.” The open captioning display had its test run during a performance of “Around the World in 80 Days” recently. It was a big success, Glass said. “People loved it. The show was fast-paced, with a lot of actors and a lot of accents, so patrons appreciated the captions.” The audio description service involves a trained interpreter standing in the sound booth who describes the set and action on stage in minute detail through a special microphone piped into a patron’s ear device. The device is discreet and does not distract anyone close by. Lakeshore rents the audio description equipment from the Guthrie Theater. The next play, “Wait Until Dark,” is especially fitting for the new technology. The nail-biter is a suspense story about one woman’s fi ght against blind fear. Audrey Hepburn was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in the 1967 thriller. The March 15 matinee offering audio description is nearly sold out, according to Glass. A group from the nonprofit Vision Loss Resources is attending, and some patrons will be bringing guide dogs. “We are open and welcome to that,” she said. “It’s part of our total accessibility.” The theater staff feels the equipment helps the population it serves, Glass added, referring to an aging demographic in the area. “We think there is a need for it in White Bear Lake.” Only certain performances will offer the aids. The second Sunday matinee of every run will have both open captioning and audio description and American sign language will be offered at the closing matinee performance on the last Sunday. The earpiece for audio description can be requested at the box office.

Too much goose poop riles South Shore resident WHITE BEAR LAKE — A South Shore Boulevard resident who initiated a goose population control program 20 years ago wants it revived. “The goose population is thriving,” said Lorrie Fuith. “They have no natural predators and are very prolific. One goose produces 2 pounds of droppings a day.” The amount of goose poop at Ramsey County Park, in particular, is offensive to Fuith, who considers it both a lake quality issue and human health concern. The beach is full of goose poop, which can carry E. coli, Fuith told members of the White Bear Lake Conservation District last month. She said the lifeguards pick up droppings every morning before the park opens and toss the excrement in the bushes. “When it rains, where do you think the droppings go?” she asked the board.
“The goose population is thriving....They have no natural predators and are very prolific. One goose produces 2 pounds of droppings a day.” Lorrie Fuith White Bear Lake Resident Area organizations like the Lions, White Bear Lake Homeowners Association and the city contributed to an effort to control the population back in 2000 when Fuith and her husband got a depopulation program started. She handled billing for the goose management program in collaboration with the DNR. Geese were trapped during the molting phase when they cannot fly and processed for area food shelves. Goslings, she said, were processed for pet food. “People think it’s cruel, but the population is out of control. I think it’s a detraction to the aesthetics of our community,” Fuith told the board. She feels a government agency should take charge this time around. The city’s assistant manager told her they would not put funds towards a control effort and referred Fuith to the conservation district. “I think you guys have the funding,” she said. Chairman Bryan DeSmet said it could be a lake quality issue and left it at that, at least for now. Debra Neutkens

A 1984 Bethel grad, he will also be the fi rst Bethel alumnus to serve as its president. “My time at Bethel profoundly shaped who I am and how I live,” Allen said. “It’s the place where my faith became my own, where I started my family, and where I realized I could glorify God through a career in the marketplace.” Allen comes to Bethel from Azusa Pacific University, a private Christian college in California, where he served as chief fi nancial officer and vice president of business and fi nance. Prior to that, he spent 25 years at Medtronic and founded a consulting company in White Bear Lake. July 1 marks the

official start of Allen's tenure. He replaces Jay Barnes, who announced his retirement last year. In a video posted with last week's announcement, Allen praised Bethel's past leadership and said the opportunity to serve the school as president was “humbling.” “The leader of any
organization I know makes a significant impact, and God uses that person uniquely,” he said. “It's exciting to think of what we all can do here at Bethel in such a critical time as this. To step into the shoes of those that have come before … I'm excited about that, and yet humbled and honored.”

Legacy funds restoring native plants on corner BY DAWN TANNER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Vadnais Lakes Area Water Management Organization and University of Minnesota service-learning students are working on improving a small woodlot at Fourth Street and Otter Lake Road in White Bear Lake. Following a 2019 buckthorn removal effort, the focus is dispersing seeds of native, shade-loving plants. Winter broadcast seeding is recommended by restoration experts, partly because the snow surface provides visual evidence of even distribution. Cold winter temperatures are also needed to “treat” the seeds, stimulating them to germinate in the spring. Establishment of shady understory plants is a slow process. It can take up to three years for these plants to fully establish. In the meantime, VLAWMO and
the city of White Bear Lake will maintain the site to monitor native plant growth and prevent recently removed invasive buckthorn from coming back. This restoration effort is being done with funds from a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Conservation Partners Legacy grant that VLAWMO and the city of White Bear Lake applied for together. This grant program is part of the Outdoor Heritage Fund created by the people of Minnesota through the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. Native plants will reduce the amount of woody debris that would have been present at the site with a dense cover of buckthorn. Woody debris would pose potential issues for another project at the same site — an iron-enhanced sand filter. This project was selected after studies showed that runoff at this site was especially high in
WATER GREMLIN: Case over lead goes to court of appeals FROM PAGE 1A
been exposed to impermissible levels of lead in the workplace,” continued the attorney. “On the contrary, Water Gremlin has presented evidence showing average blood-lead levels of employees are far below levels requiring intervention under federal or state regulations.” Founded 70 years ago as a maker of lead sinkers for fishing, Water Gremlin is North America’s leading supplier of lead battery terminals. About 13% of revenues is from export sales. The company employs 275 full-time employees and about 65 temporary workers. The company noted it was “inappropriate to designate and address as a public health nuisance an alleged concern affecting a small and discreet group of individuals — allegedly about a dozen children of employees in total, of which only two were identified in 2019.” After a series of court hearings last fall, the judge agreed the migration of lead from Water Gremlin to employee cars and homes is a public health nuisance. The judge implemented the commissioners’ proposed plan to clean certain areas of the plant; make short and longterm improvements to layout and design; clean employee vehicles; and conduct third-party monitoring and blood-lead level testing for employees and families. That part of the plan was OK with Water Gremlin. But the company promptly appealed the requirement to test and abate lead in employee homes. The order affects both current employees and past workers who have worked at the company at some point in the previous two years. Lightfoot argued that the presence of
lead in a home is not a public health nuisance. “Public cannot be limited to a community of the employees,” he said, using dictionary defi nitions to enforce the meaning of the words “public health,” “public nuisance” and “community.” Counsel for the commissioners, Peter Surdo, special assistant attorney general, argued that the district court “appropriately concluded that the appellant’s conduct affected public health.” That fi nding required the conduct to be enjoined “as a public health nuisance,” according to the terms of Section 145.075. The plain meaning of “public health” is confi rmed by its very defi nition, he said. It is also confi rmed by its legislative history, other Minnesota laws and the policy implications of the statute. All canons of construction lead to the same result: “public health” extends to toxic lead conditions in private residences. “Lead poisoning is a major public health concern, especially given its severe consequences for children,” Surdo said. “Because the appellant is responsible for the toxic lead contamination, it should be required to abate it. The district court did not abuse its discretion in ordering it to do so. The district court’s order should be affi rmed.” In a follow-up to the respondent’s brief, Lightfoot countered that the judge agreed in his stay order that there is a question as to whether the court has the authority to order Water Gremlin “to abate, or reimburse the state for abating, lead contamination in its employees homes.” Added the attorney: “This in fact is a substantial issue that has not been decided by any court in Minnesota and should be preserved for appeal.”
nutrients. The filter, scheduled for a 2020 installation, is supported by a Clean Water Fund grant from the Board of Water and Soil Resources. Iron-enhanced sand filters are a common tool to remove nutrients from stormwater and keep lakes clean. The nearby shady woodlot restoration supports the longevity of the filter by providing low groundcover, which reduces leaf fall and woody debris movement and stabilizes the soil. Together, the two efforts form an exciting partnership between habitat restoration and engineering. To find out more about the iron-enhanced sand filter at Birch Lake and other VLAWMO projects, visit vlawmo.org/projects. Dawn Tanner serves as program development coordinator for VLAWMO.
TCE ban advances in Minnesota House ST. PAUL — Legislation to ban trichloroethylene (TCE) is moving forward in the Minnesota House of Representatives. On Feb. 24, the House Environment and Natural Resources Policy Committee unanimously approved HF 3376, authored by Rep. Ami Wazlawik (DFL-White Bear Township). The bill would prohibit use of TCE, a chemical that increases risks for certain types of cancer and other serious health issues. “Far too many facilities are using toxic chemicals that put workers, communities and our environment at risk,” said Rep. Wazlawik. “People from the White Bear area and other communities that have been exposed to toxic chemicals are urging us to do more to protect Minnesotans. My community inspired me to lead the fight to ban the carcinogenic chemical TCE. I’m pleased that my bill is advancing with bipartisan support.”
Rep. Wazlawik’s bill would prohibit use of TCE after Jan. 1, 2022. Facilities with air quality permits would need to replace TCE with a safer, less toxic alternative. The legislation is part of a new plan to protect workers, communities and the environment that Rep. Wazlawik and House DFLers introduced last month. The plan addresses concerns that community members shared with legislators regarding a series of problems at the Water Gremlin facility in White Bear Township. Last year, state officials found that Water Gremlin had exceeded state health limits for TCE emissions and failed to report accurate emissions data for more than 15 years. Next stop for this bill is the House Environment and Natural Resources Finance Division. Press release

[PERVASIVE LANGUAGE AND BRIEF DRUG USE.] — Michael Winterbottom’s entertaining, over-the-top, wacky, intermittently funny, star-dotted (Isla Fisher, Shirley Henderson, Asa Butterfield, Stephen Fry, and Pearl Mack),104-minute, 2019 satire that focuses on the detailed, crazy preparations ten days preceding the extravagant 60th birthday celebration in Mykonos, Greece, for greedy, driven, bullying, foul-mouthed, egotistical, sarcastic, abusive, wheeler-dealer, billionaire British retail fashion mogul (Steve Coogan) whose popularity takes an enormous nosedive. ___________________________________________________
“OLYMPIC DREAMS” (PG-13) [SOME LANGUAGE AND SEXUAL REFERENCES.] — When a reserved, shy, 37-year-old American oral surgeon (Nick Kroll), who is volunteering in the Athletes Village and dreams of owning his own dental practice, and a depressed, unfulfilled, first-time, Olympic 22-year-old cross-country skier (Alexis Pappas) meet against the backdrop of the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in this slow-paced, underwhelming, somber, realistic, 83-minute film, their awkward meeting turns into a friendship that lifts each other’s spirits and encourages each goals and dreams.
In last week’s weather note, I talked about how nice our weekends have been with the work week experiencing much colder temperatures. Once again, our weekend weather was spectacular. Temperatures almost hit 50º on Sunday. Families were out enjoy a nice walk; bikers and runners were also enjoying the warmth. This week looks like we've turned a bit of corner in that our work week also was warm and dry. Looks like a trend that everyone can enjoy. Astro note: Venus is bright in the southwest sky at sunset.

“ORDINARY LOVE” (R) [BRIEF SEXUAL NUDITY.] — An emotionally-moving, realistic, hearttugging, well-written, superbly acted, 2019, 92-minute film punctuated with striking camera shots in which tensions arise and stresses increase as a retired, middle-aged, devoted, longtime married Irish couple (Lesley Manville and Liam Neeson) living in Belfast must not only cope with losing their daughter sometime earlier but must come even closer together when she is diagnosed with breast cancer while their deceased daughter’s teacher (David Wilmot) struggles with terminal cancer and his frightened, sad partner (Amit Shah) tries to prepare for his impending loss. ___________________________________________________
“THE INVISIBLE MAN” (R) [SOME STRONG BLOODY VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE.] — After a mentally abused housewife (Elizabeth Moss) in San Francisco escapes her controlling, psychopathic, brilliant, rich, world renown scientist husband (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) with the help of her supportive sister (Harriet Dyer) in this riveting, tension-filled, well-written, taut, superbly acted, unpredictable, 125-minute sci-fi psychological thriller adapted from H. G. Wells’ 1897 classic novel and the 1933 film, she initially feels protected when she moves into the modest home of a childhood friend and African-American detective (Aldis Hodge) and his spunky daughter (Storm Reid) but then starts to question her sanity when she feels increasingly uneasy, suspicious, threatened, and seemingly watched by an invisible presence.

Anderson Elementary and Mahtomedi Middle School. The grant was prepared with help from the Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative (MAGI) and provided a planning consultant. The process included schools. Infrastructure recommendations were proposed for Stillwater Road, Warner Road and for bike parking, which included: improved crosswalks, lanes. Bike racks were inventoried and added as needed. The school district is working with the City of Mahtomedi and Washington County, who have/will project based on feasibility and costs. John Sachi, Mahtomedi City Engineer, reported on applying for the Federal 2023/2024 SRTS Grant administered through the Metropolitan Council, which is a very competitive process and only covers construction costs. The proposed grant improvements include sidewalks/trails along Warner Ave. south of O.H. Anderson Elementary, sidewalks along 72nd Street and crosswalk improvements on Warner Avenue with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB). Sachi explained the estimated construction cost would be $350,000-$400,000, with engineering cost at $105,000-$120,000 and a prepared grant proposal by WSB & Associates, Inc. at $7,877.

LOOKING BACK Week of March 1-7, 2020 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.
1920 After playing a strong game of basketball through the season the local high school team was defeated by Stillwater on the Hamline floor last Friday by a score of 25 to 17. The White Bear boys made a game fight, but fortune was against them. This defeat loses for them the opportunity of representing the Eleventh Congressional district at the state tournament at Carlton. Stillwater now holds the championship of the eleventh district and will play in the tournament.
1945 The shocking news of the death in action February 21, 1945 of William Reed, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Reed, was received Tuesday. William would have been 21 next month. He enlisted two years ago next May. He went overseas last August and was in the harbor craft until recently when he volunteered for the infantry. He was under General Patton’s Third Army in Germany.
1970 Approval was given to architectural plans of the new Northeast YMCA which were presented to members of the Planning Commission last Monday evening. Construction is expected to start by the end of the summer with completion expected by the fall of 1971.

‘The Janicki Starting Five:’ Miss Basketball’s offspring carry on hoops tradition BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
It dawned on Ella and Jack Janicki pretty early that the lady who drove them to their games was probably not your typical basketball mom. The Miss Basketball trophy, and high school All-America plaque, both “gathering dust in the house,” as mom Stacy puts it, were clues. Another was the time Jack, at age five, attended a Notre Dame women’s basketball practice with Stacy and met legendary coach Muffet McGraw. There were also old Notre Dame sweatshirts and practice jerseys laying around, which the kids eventually appropriated for their own wardrobes. “They know about my basketball background, and for the most part they think it’s pretty cool, unless I try to give too much advice after a game,” quipped Stacy. Ella, senior point guard, led the Bears (14-14) with 12.7 points per game this year. She had 20 in her final game Saturday, a loss to East Ridge in the section, and finished with 876 career points. Jack burst onto the scene as a freshman guard, leading the Bears with 14.5 points per game as they head into playoffs with a 13-12 record. Oldest daughter Sophie, now attending University of Iowa, was captain of the Bears’ last state tournament team in 2017. She shared that experience with her little sister as Ella got playing time as a freshman. Their mother was Stacy Fields of Mounds View when she got the Miss Basketball award in 1992 after leading the Mustangs to the state tournament as a left-handed 5-11 point guard who attacked the basket, scored 24 points per game, garnered batches of rebounds and deflections, and relished the floor general role. Her high school coach was her father, Doug. She scored 1,513 points for him. All of which led to a scholarship to Notre Dame, one of the most prestigious universities for athletes in the country. Her career in South Bend “had ups and downs,” she relates. As a freshman, she made the conference’s

All-Newcomer team. Then she suffered a foot injury and took a medical redshirt her sophomore year. As a junior and senior, she “started some games and sat some others.” One highlight was a 28-point game against Purdue. She got to play for a ranked team in NCAA tournaments, and experienced prime women’s basketball venues such as UConn and Tennessee. One of the “ups” was meeting Kevin Janicki, an allstate soccer and basketball player from Connecticut who turned down D-II and D-III offers to attend Notre Dame. “Our first date in college, we played hoops, and I lost, badly,” Stacy reports. Stacy is a senior partner at an advertising agency, and Kevin is an investment banker, both working in Minneapolis while living in White Bear Lake. “I became aware my mom was Miss Basketball and played at Notre Dame around fifth grade,” Ella said. “When I got older, I better understood how good she was.” Added Jack: “My mom being awarded the best player in the entire state shows how hard she worked.” He started to realize that, he said, in grade school playing on AAU teams.
Asked if she sees herself in her kids, Stacy noted that both Ella and Jack are much better outside shooters than she was. Ella, four inches shorter, plays a different game. “What she might lack in size and speed, she makes up for with her basketball IQ, strength and explosiveness.” She said Jack’s physique and style is more similar to hers. His shooting ability, she said, is his own “but I like to think some of his court vision got passed down.” Basketball peppers the family conversations, not surprisingly. The family text group is called “The Janicki Starting Five.” With a son and daughter playing, usually the same night, Kevin and Stacy split up so each kid has a parent cheering, and text updates throughout. Exceptions were both attending Jack’s first varsity game and Ella’s Senior Night. The kids share their parents’ love of Notre Dame. The family journeys to South Bend, Indiana, every year for a football game. “There is no bigger fan of Notre Dame than me in this entire world. It is an obsession,” declares Jack. “Every fall, Saturday revolves around Notre Dame football. My biggest dream is to go to school there.” They are also fans of the Boston Celtics by osmosis, their dad being a New Englander and lifelong devotee. “The Celtics are my favorite NBA team, mainly because it is the only team on our TV,” Ella said. They watch on NBA League Pass. Ella, also an all-conference soccer goalie, is done with scholastics sports. She’ll attend University of Wisconsin. All three kids shot hoops together at the park across the street and at Lifetime Fitness. “They stopped scrimmaging in about sixth grade,” Stacy said, “when Jack got taller and the girls couldn’t pick on him anymore.” Jack played against mom and dad also. “My whole family beat up on me in one-and-one, and I cried every single time, but without them pushing me when I was young, I definitely would not be the player I am today,” Jack said. “I think it is safe to say now that I would beat all of them if they wanted to play me.”

Taking care of business: Mahtomedi icemen head back to state BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Mahtomedi players won’t be carrying briefcases along with their hockey gear to the state tournament this week, but their coach praises them as a team that attends to business. “This group is very disciplined,” Jeff Poeschl said. “They have taken about half as many penalties as we did the past couple years.

Bear icemen get past Stillwater, fall to arch rival in finals BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
There won’t be a return trip to state for White Bear Lake boys hockey. The Bears took a quick 3-0 lead against Stillwater in the Section 4AA semifinals and held on to win 5-3 Thursday, then started strong again in the finals, notching the first two goals against longtime nemesis Hill-Murray on Saturday evening, Feb. 29. However, they couldn’t hold the lead against the Pioneers, whose comeback for a 3-2 win was capped by Nick Pierre’s short-handed goal with 5:49 left, before an overflow crowd at Aldrich Arena. “The semifinal game against Stillwater took a lot of energy out of the team,” coach Tim Sager said. “We thought the team that got to three goals would win. We were pushing the pace in the second period but we missed on a couple of chances.” Hill-Murray has a 12-4 record against the Bears in section finals. The Bears and Pioneers have clashed 25 times in the last 37 sectionals. The Bears beat them 3-2 in last year’s finals for their first state trip since 2011 and clipped them again 3-2 in overtime in Decem-

ber. But they could not make it three in a row and finished 18-9-1. “Our coaching staff is very proud of the effort our team gave,” Sager said. “Hill-Murray had some puck luck and we missed on a few quality scoring chances.”
Sam Newpower jump-started the Bears’ chances by scoring 30 seconds into the game, and again at 2:55 of the second period. Newpower had 26 goals for the season, four in the sectionals. Hill-Murray (19-6-3) pulled even 2-2 in the second period on goals by Charlie
Strobel and Owen Quast. With 6:49 left in the game, the Bears went on the power play for an interference penalty. However, they misplayed a pass at mid-ice and the speedy Pierre pounced on the puck. Pierre beat goalie Tyler Steffens on a wide-open, one-on-one opportunity. “Like he was shot out of a cannon,” Sager commented. Steffens stopped 29 of 32 shots. Pioneer goalie Remington Koepple stopped 24 of 26. Against Stillwater (19-7-1), with whom the Bears split in conference play, Newpower scored 5:50 into the game swooping past the net, and Grant Hofeld drilled a slap shot into the cords on a power play at 10:57. The Bears made it 3-0 when Triston Johnson, rushing the net with the puck, swung and missed, but Billy Rose saw it lying there and smacked it past the goalie. Stillwater’s Joe Manning and Ronnie Donar scored to make it 3-2. Hofeld answered with a top-shelf goal for the Bears at 7:45 of the second period. It was still 4-2 in the final minute. Stillwater pulled the goalie and Joe Stangl scored with :29 left. But Joe Montgomery hit an empty-netter five seconds later for the Bears’ clincher.

He is the third state champion from Mahtomedi, joining Matt Groff and Jake Grizell. “He’s been a great leader for the program and one of the hardest-working kids I’ve ever had,” Oswald said. In the finals at Xcel Energy Center, FitzPatrick took control from the start and pinned Miles Fitzgerald of Fairmont/Martin County West in 3:18 with a half-nelson. “My goal was to show him right away that I was going to be on top,” FitzPatrick said. “I didn’t want to let him think he had a chance … Once I sunk that half-nelson on him I knew he was done.” Ranked No. 2 by The Guillotine, FitzPatrick pinned Keegan Lemke of Glencoe/Lester Prairie in 1:38 in the first round with a headlock,

The last of the outstanding FitzPatrick brothers in Mahtomedi wrestling got something for all of them in his final prep match — a state championship. “It’s great to go out with a bang,” said Bryce FitzPatrick after pinning his finals opponent for the Class AA 160-pound title Saturday evening. “This means a lot. It feels good to get at least one state title for our family.” Devin, Jake and Bryce FitzPatrick logged 481 wins for the Zephyrs along with multiple podium finishes at state tournaments. Bryce, who placed fourth at 138 last year, was determined to complete the job his final prep season before rejoining his brothers on the St. Cloud State team next year. “Bryce has been on a mission all season to win a state title and he didn’t care who was in his bracket,” coach Matt Oswald said. “He wanted to finish it off on top
