Township contests courtordered changes to water permit

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — As is its right under state statute, the township is appealing amendments to its water appropriation permit.

The amended permit was issued by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) March 1, per court order.

District Judge Margaret Marrinan ordered the agency to amend water permits held by the 10 municipalities within a 5-mile radius of White Bear Lake as a result of the lake level lawsuit. St. Paul Regional Water Services also has wells within the boundary and is included in the order.

Town Clerk/Treasurer Bill Short said supervisors agreed to appeal the amendments March 5 after meeting in closed session with the township attorney.

“There is an administrative hearing process available to appeal this amendment,” Short said. “We have 30 days from the date of the permit, or March 1, to submit our appeal. A letter will go to the DNR this week.”

Four components of the order, as reported in the past, impact municipal groundwater users: • Residential irrigation ban Permittees (the 11 entities within the 5-mile radius) must prepare, enact and enforce a residential irrigation ban when notified by DNR that the level of White Bear Lake has fallen below 923.5 feet. A ban will continue until notified by the DNR that lake level has reached an elevation of 924 feet.

An approved ordinance or other enforceable mechanism for implementing the ban must be sent to the DNR by April 30, 2018.

• Full or partial conversion to surface water (that surface water source is the Mississippi River) A revised water supply plan must be submitted to the DNR by Aug. 29, 2018 that includes a contingency plan to fully or partially convert source water authorized under the SEE APPEAL, PAGE 8A

Students at Century College will soon be 3-D printing with body cells.

The college has plans to launch a certificate program in biomanufacturing fall or spring semester 2019, said Randy Jasken, additive and digital manufacturing faculty member. The program will be in partnership with the biology department.

The University of Minnesota 3-D Bioprinting Center is partner-

ing with the college to assist the launch, said its director, Dr. Angela Panoskaltsis-Mortari, at a medical 3-D printing presentation hosted by the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC) in Shoreview March 6.

Century College students toured the bioprinting center two weeks ago, Jasken said. He also brought several students to hear Panoskaltsis-Mortari speak at the VHEDC event about advances in SEE BIOPRINTING, PAGE 9A

Bald Eagle Boulevard anything but user-friendly for walkers/bikers

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — A resident on West Bald Eagle Boulevard has been greasing the wheels for years regarding biking and walking safety.

“We knew what we were getting into when we moved here in '99. The boulevards are a challenge and they are dangerous,” said Chris Hiniker, who knows a thing or two about roadway design and trail improvements.

A transportation planning professional, Hiniker is well aware of the complexities, costs and concerns with altering the east and west boulevard. If he had his way, the main thoroughfare around the southern end of Bald Eagle Lake would have a 25 mph speed limit and narrower lanes. Ideally, it would be one way, at least eastbound from Park Avenue to Hugo Road, just like Lake Avenue in White Bear Lake where Hiniker grew up.

He admits, the prospect for a one-way is controversial, just like current discussions with city residents regarding South Shore Boulevard. It's the primary issue that derailed Bald Eagle trail improvements in 2001 when Hiniker first pitched the idea.

Again like South Shore, modifications to the county's boulevard may require a take-over of the road by the township.

“This is a significant issue for the township, as they prefer not to assume maintenance responsibilities of more roads,” Hiniker said.

The focus in 2018 is to get the Town Board to agree to a temporary test this summer. Ramsey County has already agreed to participate, according to Hiniker, who is working to rally fellow users.

Momentum for trail improvements is gaining traction. “The Lake Links route around White Bear Lake has heightened the conversation,” Hiniker

CHRIS HINIKER | SUBMITTED

A community survey shows that Bald Eagle Boulevard requires many safety improvements for walkers and bikers. Only one thumbs up was given for a short portion of the road on the west side of the lake.

said. “It's important to build on this momentum for the benefit of residents in and around Bald Eagle Lake. If something happens there (White Bear Lake), why can't we try it here?”

Avid walkers, Hiniker and his wife have had some close calls. “You get used to it,” he said. “It's hard to define a close call. We consistently have a car's sideview mirror within a foot of us.”

Hiniker feels walkers and bikers using the road have built up a tolerance to the unsafe conditions. “We constantly see people using the road and the risks they take,” he added.

The project engineer is trying to find an option with little headwind. “We

need to at least take a step. Rather than roads geared 98 percent towards vehicles, let's make it 80:20.”

If he has his druthers, a trial period this summer would mean putting up a few speed limit signs and re-striping lanes to 10-foot widths. Shoulders would be 3 feet wider on both sides of West Bald Eagle and on East Bald Eagle (a 0.2 mile section from Park to Bald Eagle Avenue), a 6-foot sidewalk would parallel 10-foot drive lanes. A section from Hugo Road to Park Avenue would become one-way for 0.9 miles, and have a 10-foot drive lane and a 10-foot sidewalk with a foot of space in between.

“Now is the time to try some type of

safety improvement,” Hiniker urged.

“The reality is that change is difficult and unless our Town Board members hear from a broader base of constituents, it will be difficult to build the momentum needed to get a temporary test this summer.”

Trails are a desirable amenity for communities, he stressed. “I do a lot of transportation planning in various counties and one of the top issues is trails. Communities that don't start providing that will fall behind and property values won't keep up. Neighboring communities that have those trails will attract young families.”

Armory dance helps fuel Bear Boating Once again, Bear Boating is holding its spring “fun-draising” event to buy life jackets, fuel and fishing poles for its popular pontoon excursions. On Saturday, March 24, the band Free and Easy will fill the Armory's dance floor in a fundraiser starting at 7 p.m.

The public is invited to purchase tickets online at www.bearboating.org, at White Bear Jewelers or at the Armory door, 2228 Fourth St. in White Bear Lake. Admission is $10.

All proceeds from ticket sales and silent auction benefit Bear Boating of White Bear Lake, a nonprofit offering fishing and boating excursions for seniors, active duty military, veterans and disabled in the community. Last

year, more than 1,000 people were treated to a two-hour outing on White Bear Lake by the organization. Bear Boating relies on donations to cover costs, which include boat payments, insurance and upkeep.

Organizers are holding a volunteer training session 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. May 22 at Boatworks Commons meeting room. Anyone interested in volunteering with Bear Boating should plan to attend. Boating season starts the day after Memorial Day and runs through September. For more information, call 651-429-3762.

Sunshine Week

I

t’s Sunshine Week, a nationwide celebration of how journalists promote open and transparent government.

Local newspapers, including your local journalists, shed light on issues that are important to communities. They inform readers about government actions and ask questions that can help with transparency of government.

Local newspapers are one of the only entities that keep local government agencies accountable.

Sunshine Week: Your Right to Know is celebrated March 11-17 nationwide. I you to think about Publisher’s challenge the information you’ve read in your local newspaper that’s View helped you better navigate Carter Johnson the voting process, navigate referendums and make educated decisions in your daily lives. From public notices to holding up the open meeting law, newspapers keep government accountable. Journalists also keep government accountable by writing articles about meetings that summarize and explain issues. Broadcast via cable does little to hold anyone accountable.

Local government meetings often lack community participation. On a regular basis, we are asked why and how a city or township is able to make large changes in its laws.

Items get passed when the community is not involved, when people don’t object to things they don’t agree with. Often our reporters are the only record of history from these meetings.

Our government is often running with little to no input from residents. It’s local journalists who continue to ask the questions. Local newspapers across the country are often the only resource of local public information.

Girl Scout cookies Girl Scout cookie sales are here. If you’re approached by a parent, guardian or someone other than a Scout, I recommend you tell them no, and encourage their young salesperson to reach out and learn by selling the cookies themselves.

Maple syrup This will be the first season my family will be missing the sap flow. My good friend Mike Johnson from Oakdale said the sap is flowing. For years Mike has been coaching our family on how to harvest sap and turn it into syrup. His tips kept us up to speed with maple syruping.

He also invested in an outdoor cooker with a large custom-made stainless steel pan that is a must if you want any volume of syrup.

His homemade barrel stove was welded by our other college roommate. The wood stove does a pretty good job. I loved sitting in his driveway as we cooked down the sap. The cooking process sometimes goes late into the evening or early morning. The ratio ends up to be roughly 40:1.

It takes 40 gallons of sap boiled down to make one gallon of pure maple syrup. If you’ve ever contemplated trying to make maple syrup, get out and learn from one of the local venues in our areas. Supplies are easily accessible at local shops or can be collected with a little creativity with a few dollars at the hardware store. Take a chance and just make a small batch this season. You will never forget it.

Restaurateur succumbs after long battle with cancer Michael P. Gengler, 58, the owner of Gulden's Restaurant, died peacefully at home on March 8, 2018.

An obituary provided by his family said he passed away with “dignity and humor.”

It was his way, noted longtime friend and fishing buddy Pat McFarlane, who owned Venburg Tire, a business next to Gulden's.

“Mike understood life and he died a rich man because of it,” McFarlane said. “I don't mean material things.

That wasn't important to Mike. He just enjoyed helping people.”

Diagnosed with colon cancer in 2010, Gengler underwent months of bed rest and chemotherapy. Then in 2011, he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood, bone and bone marrow cancer.

Treatments were less than successful.

Still he persevered, always smiling, always with a good attitude, said McFarlane, who visited the restaurant owner often in his final days at his Stillwater home.

The two men shared a love of golf and used each other as sounding boards for the “trials and tribulations” of owning a business. “He was like a brother,”

McFarlane said. “He called me the day he found out he had cancer. He kept the faith. He always knew it would be a battle.”

McFarlane recalled the time a WWII veteran lost his precious rosary at the restaurant. “Mike and his employees searched everywhere for that rosary. They found it outside in the trash around 3 a.m.”

His friend did many things for people that went unrecognized, added McFarlane. “One time we took a White Bear Lake kid with brain cancer fishing. He leaned too far over the boat and fell in the water. Mike jumped in after him.”

McFarlane described Gengler as “one of those truly honest people. What he did was from the heart. I witnessed that both inside and outside. He taught us a lot about living and dying.”

Mike is survived by his wife, Brenda; daughters, Jessie Rae (Ross) Lichty of Cannon Falls, Makenna Gengler of Stillwater, Dayna Gengler of Stillwater; granddaughters, Lainey and Ruby; brother, Dan Gengler; and sisters, Nancy (Rick) Snell, Sandy (Joe) Nilges, Sue Carroll, Patti Parsons, Kris (Matt) Nelson, Jenny (Tom) Struzyk.

The visitation is Sunday, March 18 from noon to 2 p.m. at Mueller Memorial, 4738 Bald Eagle Ave. in White Bear Lake. A reception follows from 2 to 5 p.m. at Rudy's Redeye Grill in White Bear Lake.

Rudy's owner, Bill Foussard, is another good friend. He remembered Gengler as someone who had passion for the restaurant business. “He was an incredible host,” Foussard said. “He was always there greeting guests. He was a good man. He really cared about people and his family.”

Gengler was in the restaurant business for 42 years and owned Gulden's Restaurant in Maplewood for the last 28. Along with his love of the restaurant business came his love of bass fishing, according to his obituary. His fishing buddies can vouch for how over-the-top excited he would get about catching a nice large mouth bass. The “whoopwhoop” could be heard across any lake.

During a recent conversation with his nephew, Mike asked, “Why doesn't everyone just do what they can to make the world a better place? It doesn't need to be newsworthy, just something that makes the world a better place.” This is

how Mike lived every day and the best way to honor his memory is to adopt this same thinking, wrote his family.

Gengler was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Marilyn Gengler, a sister-in-law Nancy Gengler, and two brother-in-laws, Chip Parsons and Bobby Carroll.

Mike requested memorials be designated to Gift of Life House, 705 Second St. SW, Rochester, MN 55902.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

C Concerned d about b t IInternational t ti l Baccalaureate program

After attending a school board work-study session last month on the CAREI report, I am even more concerned and shocked about the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. How equitable is this program with the rest of our schools in district 624 when we have an extra net financial impact of $243,228 for the 2017/2018 budget for these three IB schools? This money is above and beyond the necessary funding to fulfill State of Minnesota student learning standards, and takes away budgetary monies that could hire extra teachers or support staff to help the rest of our students.

Additionally, this report gives no evidence for IB improving student learning standards as stated in its summary of stage one evaluation results. Where is the cost/benefit analysis of IB? Why wasn't a cost/ benefit analysis done prior to implementation of all IB? Why weren't all elementary schools given the same CAREI survey to compare similar questions for an IB PYP school versus a traditional elementary school program? This was a missed opportunity for an evaluation report that supposedly cost $60,000.

Why wasn't an appendix included to the report that included all teacher comments (names and locations redacted), when IB teachers vehemently oppose IB? Why weren't all the years of the IB program costs in-

cluded the IB financial l d d on th i l summary?? Unfortunately, U f t t l the work-study session only left more questions than answers in regards to the unproven student learning benefits of the IB program and the excessive extra costs associated with only three of our district's many other schools.

Joshua Eckton White Bear Lake

Support International Baccalaureate program

As I graduated from the White Bear Lake Area School District in the '90s, I was reluctant to move my school-aged children back to the neighborhood.

In my time as a student, I experienced large layoffs, program cancellations and a graduating class renowned for having little school spirit. With this in mind, the district’s International Baccalaureate program helped me see it in a new light. It was the first and most obvious example that the district is forward-thinking, rigorous and globally conscious.

Now that I’ve been a community member for four years, I am quick to praise our district in multiple aspects. It embraces diversity, holds high expectations and has passionate teachers. I see the care and concern for students’ well-being, critical thinking skills and quality education, and I am happy to call this place home. However, I worry about the potential

decisions coming the currentt IB review. d i i i ffrom th i The IB implementation came at a cost that district administrators and board members recognized and supported. When frustration was later voiced, district administrators and board members approved the hiring of an expensive consultant group to review and make recommendations. The newly released results show valid successes and concerns, most notably highlighting inconsistent implementation and insufficient teacher support at the middle school level.

I would like to see district accountability for the financial commitment and consultant review. Let’s be a district that isn’t satisfied with the status quo, but a district that thoughtfully considers not whether we should keep the program, but how we can improve it.

Let’s commit to keeping and improving our reputation as a progressive, reflective and forward-thinking district. Let this not be wasteful spending, but truly analyze the problems spotlighted by the consultant review. And fix them.

Our district chose to commit to the IB program and it comes with abundant resources, professional development opportunities and quality controls. Hopefully our district administrators will reflect on the original purpose of the IB implementation, recognize how it can be improved, and responsibly use school district finances to successfully achieve the district’s goals.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:

Vadnais Heights • Incidents of credit card fraud at two T-Mobile stores in Vadnais Heights are under investigation after recent charges of $1,100 and $300 were made, both on Feb.7.

• Outgoing personal checks, most likely stolen from a homeowner’s mailbox, were washed, forged and cashed Feb. 26 for a total of $50,000 in another state. The checks, originally written for $600 to the State of Minnesota and $43 to a local phone company, were illegally made out to two unknown individuals and cashed for $24,000 and $26,000 against the account of a distribution company on Willow Lake Boulevard.

An investigation is underway.

• Investigating a car vs. tree crash at 5:03 a.m.

March 4, deputies found a 19-year-old St. Paul man in the 1200 block of County Road D who was sent flying after hitting a curb, leaving the road and interacting with the tree. The man, who said he was on his way home from a party,

failed field sobriety tests and was arrested on a charge of third-degree DWI due to his blood-alcohol level. He was booked into the Ramsey County Jail.

• An employee at a business in the 11000 block of County Road E looked out a window the afternoon of March 5 in time to see an adult male on foot haul off and punch a quarter-panel on her vehicle. A witness backed up the story. The damage was later estimated at $800. No suspects.

White Bear Township • A teen trashed his classroom at the Bellaire Education Center on County Road F the morning of March 1, breaking tables, chairs and shelving. The 13-year-old boy was booked into the county juvenile detention center on a charge of criminal damage to property.

• A counterfeit $10 bill was found in a cash register till the morning of March 2 at Cub Foods in the 1000 block of Meadowlands Drive. The bogus bill was turned over to the county sheriff’s department, which in turn passed it on to

the U.S. Secret Service.

• A burglary on Bald Eagle Lake was reported March 2. A prowler cut the lock and broke into a 58-year-old man’s fi sh house sometime in the past two weeks, making off with 15 rods and reels, a generator, a TV, an electric auger, gas and propane tanks. The total loss was estimated at $2,100.

• Following the attempted theft of his 2001 Chevy Tahoe from his driveway in the 1700 block of Garden Lane a week earlier, the 39-year-old man installed a tracking device on the SUV. In the early morning hours March 2, a thief drove off with the Tahoe. The owner was notified of the SUV’s location, just two minutes away; he called 911 and the vehicle was quickly recovered. No suspects.

• Deputies on the lookout for a hit-and-run driver stopped a 45-year-old White Bear Lake man in the 2600 block of First Street on March 3 who tested double the legal limit. The suspect was jailed on the DWI charge and the incident is still under investigation.

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:

Dellwood • A Dellwood man, 19, was cited March 1 on Quail Road and Shady Woods Road for driving without proof of insurance and possessing marijuana with drug paraphernalia after being pulled over for veering well into the opposing lane. Deputies smelled an “obvious odor of marijuana” and discovered two bags of pot, a bong and other items in the vehicle.

Grant • A resident in the 8000 block of Lake Elmo Avenue N. on Feb. 26 reported fi nding her mail in the ditch near her home. She had been expecting a rebate check from Home Depot and never received it. Deputies advised her to contact the store for another refund check.

The complainant told deputies her neighbors along the entire road had also had their mail stolen, and that she would be getting a locking mailbox.

• Tools were reported stolen overnight March 1-2 from the 7000 block of Lake Elmo Avenue N.

Mahtomedi • A Brooklyn Center man, 27, was

arrested a few minutes after midnight Feb. 25 on Grove Street and Mahtomedi Avenue for DWI after Washington County Sheriff's deputies on patrol came upon him in a ditch. His vehicle was facing the wrong way and stuck in the snow.

While running a computer check on the driver, deputies noted a driving after revocation violation on his record and smelled alcohol in the vehicle. The motorist told deputies he had been trying to fi nd his way home from his friend's house and went down the wrong lane. “I was unfamiliar with the area,” he said. The driver admitted to drinking and tested .10 on the field sobriety test.

• A suspicious black backpack was reported Feb. 26 on Mahtomedi Avenue, north of Neptune Avenue. The complainant expressed concern that the pack belonged to a student who had been waiting at the bus stop. The backpack had mysteriously disappeared when deputies went looking for it.

• Employees of the Aldi store on Wildwood Road reported three males in an older model light blue four-door sedan with Wisconsin plates Feb. 28 for hopping out of their vehicle, unplugging a commercial floor drying fan, and taking off with it. The license number retrieved did not match the vehicle description.

• A suspicious red pickup truck occupied by a lone male at 9:20 a.m. March 1 and parked in the 100 block of Locust Street turned out to be a painting contractor waiting to go to a site.

• School bus stop arm violation was reported at 7:19 a.m. March 1 in the 3000 block of northbound Century Avenue N., after the young male driver of a green vehicle approached the bus from behind and sped through the driver's side stop arm as students were boarding the bus. The school bus driver said he honked at the motorist, who paused for one instant before speeding up. The license number of the motorist was retrieved, and he will be receiving a violation letter in the mail.

• Two 50-foot trailers belonging to Sullivan Transport were reported stolen from the Fed Ex depot on Long Lake Road E. March 1. The trailers were last seen in December and were reported as stolen when the business that was to receive the trailers reported it had never received them.

• A landlord in the 800 block of Woodland Court on March 1 reported entering the rental unit of a recently departed tenant and fi nding a small bag containing a suspicious tan powder, a drug pipe and a small bottle of an unknown liquid in the freezer. The items

were taken into evidence and destroyed.

• A Mahtomedi man, 21, was cited at 6:21 p.m. March 1 on northbound Mahtomedi Avenue and Hickory Street for instruction permit violations and failure to provide proof of insurance after being pulled over for driving with a single headlight and a cracked taillight.

He was issued a verbal warning for the light bulb violations.

• A White Bear Lake woman, 21, was cited March 3 in the 1000 block of northbound Lincolntown Avenue for speeding 42 mph in a 30 mph zone. She was issued a verbal warning for a broken windshield and an object suspending from the rearview mirror.

Pine Springs • A blue PT cruiser was reported Feb. 27 on northbound I-694 and Highway 36 for taking out a road sign near the exit. Deputies were unable to locate the vehicle.

• A resident in the 6000 block of Hytrail Avenue N. on Feb. 28 reported an unknown person in Memphis, Tennessee, for breaking into her Cabela's credit card account and changing the shipping address, user name and password. The complainant suffered no fi nancial loss, but is at a loss as to how the thief accessed her account.

WHITE BEAR LAKE POLICE REPORTS The White Bear Lake Police Department reported the following incidents: • A cash register and food was stolen during a burglary in the 1300 block of Highway 96 March 3.

• A St. Paul man, 33, was arrested on a warrant for theft near County Road E and I-35E March 3.

• A man who tried to dispose of garbage using a building dumpster where he did not live or work was found out in the 1800 block of Birch Street March 3. He returned to collect his garbage.

• A vehicle was reported stolen in the 3100 block of McKnight Road March 3.

• Stereo equipment was reported stolen from a vehicle in the 3900 block of Hoffman Road March 3.

• A White Bear Lake man, 25, was arrested for third-degree DWI near Highway 61 and Portland Avenue March 3.

• Alleged drug activity in the 2100 block of Seventh Street reported March 4 is under investigation.

The plan must include a schedule for funding design, construction and conversion to surface e water.

• Per capita water use plan

By Aug. 29, 2018, an enforceable plan must be submitted to the DNR to phase down per capita a residential water use to 75 gallons per day and total per capita water use to 90 gallons per day.

• A report on collaborative efforts An annual report to the DNR is required on efforts with northeast metro communities to develop plans to phase down per capita water use. Annual reports are due on March 31 of each year beginning in 2019.

The DNR was ordered to issue amended permits as part of Judge Marrinan's Aug. 30 ruling following a three-week trial in the lawsuit between the state agency and the White Bear Lake Restoration Association.

The judge, now retired, has not yet ruled on motions for an interim stay to her order, heard Jan. 26. Both the DNR and city of White Bear Lake plan to appeal and asked for the stay until the case is settled in appellate court.

The township's request for a contested case hearing on its amended permits automatically puts a stay on the order until a decision is made. “I don't know why anyone wouldn't appeal,” Short said.

bioprinting and what its future role could be in general medical practice.

Last fall, Panoskaltsis-Mortari launched the first 3-D bioprinting course in the country at the University of Minnesota. Students 3-D print cells to make tissues and organs.

This is how it works: Adult skin cells are reprogrammed to be like embryonic stem cells, which in turn are made into the desired type of body cell to be used in 3-D printing.

“The idea here is you would be making an organ using a patient's own stem cells,” Panoskaltsis-Mortari said. These tailor-made organs may be less prone to rejection than transplants from other people.

Bioprinting should really be considered 4-D (four-dimensional), she added, since the organic material needs to mature inside or outside a body.

3-D bioprinted body parts that have seen the most success so far in the medical world include bones, skin and nerves. In a collaborative study between the U of M and other universities, an implanted nerve piece in a rat helped regrow a nerve connection and enable the rat to walk normally again, Panoskaltsis-Mortari said.

People in the medical community imagine 3-D bioprinting will replace skin grafting for burns by a machine that would “print directly on the affected area of skin cells derived from the patient's own skin cells,” she noted.

The Hennepin County Medical Center has begun to use 3-D printed bone replacements. The first use of 3-D printing in a medical setting was a jawbone made for a woman in England in 2012. The first bioprinted cells were made at Clemson University in 2004.

Other uses of 3-D bioprinting in the medical field include printing pills that could hold multiple drugs in one pill and biodegradable scaffolds to guide tissue growth, Panoskaltsis-Mortari said.

At the event, representatives from Abbott, Boston Scientific and Magic Arms also described the use of 3-D printing for medical devices, simulators and educational models.

“The applications of 3-D printing are only limited by your imagination,” said Eric Jenson, founder of Magic Arms, a nonprofit dedicated to the distribution of a medical device that assists those with neuromuscular conditions.

Century College students who attended the event said they were encouraged to see how 3-D printing is used in the medical field. The students are part of the additive and digital manufacturing program; their main classroom is the

college's Fab Lab. “It's cool to see the real-world applications in person,” said student Eric Johnson. Students in the associate of science degree program study 3-D printing, prototyping, manufacturing, digital fabrication and robotics, among other topics.

“It's nice to see students have a future in it,” said student Charles Georgi.

Also in the future: 3-D printing orthotics and prosthetics at Century

Century College students are also exploring the future of 3-D printing in orthotics and prosthetics. Last week, additive and digital manufacturing students showed orthotic and prosthetic students how to use 3-D printers in the Fab Lab. Although 3-D printing is not yet an official part of the orthotic and prosthetic program curriculum, students have begun to use it for extra-curricular research projects, said Chad Smith, orthotic technology faculty.

“It's the future of our field,” Smith said. “Instead of teaching to the past, we want to teach to the future.” Students were visiting the Fab Lab to get an overview of the basics of 3-D printing in order to be prepared for the near future.

Although many 3-D printed items are not yet strong enough for patient use, with the rate of technology growth that could all change by next year, Smith noted.

The Fab Lab recently ordered a 3-D powder printer that could potentially print high-quality orthotics and prosthetics with a material similar to sheetrock, Jasken said.

The robotic carving arm received by the orthotic and prosthetic program in 2016 is already housed in the Fab Lab. Century College has the only post-secondary orthotic and prosthetic program in the state with options ranging from a diploma to a master's degree.

The Fab Lab, which is open to all students, has received about $2 million in donations the last two years to increase its 3-D printing technologies. The college is also currently seeking funding from the Minnesota Legislature to expand the lab's innovation across the hallway with an engineering and applied technology center; a level would be added above the automotive education area below. The total cost would be about $6.4 million.

NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO PRUNE THAT APPLE TREE - By the end of the winter, most gardeners are itching to get outside & start doing something! You certainly can--by pruning your apple tree(s).

Late February, early March is just about right for Minnesota gardeners. The trick is to do it at the end of winter just as the temperatures are rising a bit, but before the tree’s buds emerge.

Pruning an apple tree is an important task for home growers for several reasons: • It’s a good time to get rid of diseased, damaged & dead wood on your tree • It gives the apple tree a nice shape & allows more light to get to the buds & fruit • The tree will be healthier, produce more fruit & grow better overall Line up the right tools before you begin pruning.

Depending on the size of your apple tree, you’ll need at least a pair of hand clippers for a small one. For a large tree, large loppers work as well as a pruning saw. For more information about growing and maintaining apple trees visit http://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/yardgarden/fruit/apples-in-home-garden/index.html#seasons PARK BOARD MEMBER WANTED –Visit the Township’s website or call the Township of ces for an application, meetings are on the 3rd Thursday of each month.

4 ways to protect your devices from hackers

(MS) — In an increasingly digital world, consumers share their confidential information in so many ways. From online shopping to online banking, consumers’ personal information is being recorded in a frightening number of different places. It is because of this that 15.4 million U.S.

consumers were victims of identity theft or fraud in 2016 — a 16 percent increase from the previous year.

With the risk of a security breach increasing, it is critical that consumers protect their digital data in all forms. Here are four ways you can secure your information:

1. Use a strong password. According to Keeper, a password management and digital vault software provider, the most common passwords of 2016 included “123456,” “qwerty” and even “password.” The recipe for a bulletproof password is to combine upper and lowercase letters with symbols

The only thing missing is you.

If a tropical getaway is beckoning, answer the call with a vacaƟon loan from CiƟes Credit Union.

and numbers. To make things easier, you can also use a password generator to help you come up with strong passwords over and over.

2. Add a second level of security. While a strong password is essential, it is important to use other forms of authentication, such as ngerprint scanning to unlock devices and veri cation codes via email or text. This additional step will create more challenges for those who may want to steal your data.

3. Encrypt all digital information. With a projected 12.1 billion laptops and portable devices in use by 2018, fraudsters have more

opportunities than ever to steal data. Encrypting your information acts as a backup should you lose your device, making it virtually impossible for thieves to glean anything of value.

4. Destroy your old hard drives. Storing old hard drives and other forms of e-media greatly increases your risk of being victimized by fraud.

Throwing them away, smashing them with a hammer or re-formatting and deleting les doesn’t effectively remove your con dential data. Hard drives must be securely destroyed by a trusted third party like Shred-it, who will give you peace of mind knowing that your data will not fall into the wrong hands.

School district takes over more ballfield maintenance

BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The White Bear Lake Area School District is going to get a little more money from White Bear Township. Of course, there will be more work to do, as well.

The White Bear Town Board approved a contract during its regular meeting March 5 for the district to maintain ballfields one, three and four at Polar Lakes Park. The district currently maintains one and three.

Previously, the township paid $6,000 for the services of the district, which includes daily maintenance, game preparation and lime application. The field addition will bring the total cost to $8,000, with funding from the parks operating budget.

The district uses the funds for staffi ng, materials, equipment and maintenance. The payment will be due June 1.

In other action, the board: • Reviewed and accepted a special three-dog license at 2340 Hoxie Ave. Though the town had previously received complaints about barking from the property, no additional complaints were received before the meeting.

• Awarded a bid to the Allied Blacktop Company

NAMES IN THE NEWS

for $94,400 for the 2018 sealcoat project. The bid came in lower than expected, so the town is expecting to do more. The funds are from the improvement fund.

• Continued a hearing for a Planned Unit Development for Cambridge Downs to April 2 at 7:10 p.m. Owned by the North Oaks Company, the 25-acre parcel consists of 10 buildable acres. A subdivision is proposed zoned single family for 29 lots.

• Continued a hearing for a zoning ordinance amendment request, setback variances and conditional use permit for a guest cottage at 5508 West Bald Eagle Blvd. Bald Eagle Island owner Nathan Landucci made the requests to rebuild the garage at that address and build habitable space above it. If he can't cross the lake to his home, Landucci plans to stay in the apartment.

• Authorized town attorney to hire an independent appraiser to review previous appraisal for 5685 Portland Ave., township property formerly owned by Nancy and Scott Stoddard.

• Approved request by Vickie Baker for variances for right-of-way setback, green area and garage area to allow for construction of a new home at 5428 East Bald Eagle Blvd.

• Went into a closed session for about an hour regarding the Department of Natural Resources lake level lawsuit (see separate story).

The former director of the U.S. Geological Survey Water Science Center, Jim Stark, has take a position as director of the Legislative Water Commission.

Chaired by Sen. Chuck Wiger, the commission reviews water policy reports to assist the Legislature in formulating regulations.

Rebusiness Online reported that Marcus & Millichap arranged the $3.3 million sale of Oak Ridge Centre in White Bear Lake. The seller was Muellner Family Partnership, LLLP. The buyer was described as a local private investment group.

Merrick celebrated its top employees at Jimmy’s Conference and Catering earlier this month. Executive Director John Wayne Barker congratulates Katie Ostby, Nathaniel Bility and Angie Berg, recipients of the Merrick Compass Award, which recognizes employees for their work on behalf of Merrick clients and/or volunteer work in the community.

HEALTH TRENDS

Anxiety is Normal

All of us experience varying degrees of anxiety at times, sometimes to unmanageable degrees. Work, kids, friendships, finances and our spouses are just some examples of what brings on anxiety. Anxiety can make us uncomfortable, apprehensive and give a sense of being fearful and agitated. Any or all of these and more are symptoms of anxiety.

What is referred to as an “anxiety attack” is different to the usual daily level of anxiety we all experience. An anxiety attack is the sudden onset of debilitating fear and discomfort that has real physical, emotional and even spiritual impact. An anxiety attack leaves us paralyzed and exhausted. People who experience anxiety attacks

are not making it up. They are real. People who have anxiety attacks need to seek help from a mental health provider and often a medical professional as well.

How do you know, then, it is time to seek out a mental health professional? If you have anxiety attacks, if high levels of anxiety either persist over time or if they recur enough to interfere with your enjoyment of life. In dealing with anxiety, the experience of the therapist matters. That is why at CenterLife Counseling we encourage potential clients to ask about the experience of therapists when they call.

A few simple insights can help put anxiety in perspective. Firstly, the idea that life can always be in “balance” and without anxiety is a myth. Many things compete for

our attention and we are not able to give equal attention to everything in our life. In other words, manage your expectations.

Secondly, anxiety impacts our sense of control over our lives. It sounds trite, but when anxiety brings on that “out of control”or “I am paralyzed” feeling, take a deep breath! Really, slow your breathing down and focus on your physical awareness: Where am I right now? Can I feel the chair under me? Then move to “What is first and what is second?” to give yourself perspective on what is actually in your control right now. Break it down to taking one small step at a time. If that does not work, reach out to somebody (A friend and/or a professional) and talk through what is happening. Just don’t keep facing recurring high anxiety alone.

Lastly, make a list either in your head or on paper of what is currently making you anxious. Ask yourself three questions: “What on this list is mine to solve or do?

What is not mine? Which of these can I actually do something about and which is beyond me?” Only take on what is yours and what you can do something about.

Let go of the rest.

So, a certain degree and pattern of anxiety is normal, so expect to be anxious at times. Accept that you actually need that in your life to motivate growth and change. Learn to recognize anxiety that is either an anxiety attack and/or is frequently recurring and is at a destructive level that means you need help from outside ourselves such as from friends and/or professional help. Only take on anxiety inducing problems and issues that are properly yours and that you can influence, but don’t always do it alone.

Volunteers continue 15-year cleanup tradition Above: Volunteers search for trash as they walk across the frozen surface of White Bear Lake during the 15th annual White Bear Lake Cleanup event Saturday, March 10.

The event began back in 2004 as an Eagle Scout project for Boy Scout Troop 89’s Andrew Schuster, and since then has become an annual event. This year, 134 volunteers from 11 different Scout Units and the Minnesota Geocaching Association collected more than 700 pounds of trash that otherwise would have dropped into the lake when the ice melted. Organizers estimated that the annual cleanup has prevented more than three tons of litter from sinking into the lake over the years.

At right: Volunteers pry free the remains of a fish house that was left out on the ice before Aaron Dennis hooked it up to his vehicle and towed it to shore. A shore lunch at Bellaire Beach, provided by the Keep Zimmer VFW Post of White Bear Lake, followed the cleanup.

Mahtomedi icemen place 4th in memorable state hockey appearance

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Mahtomedi students offer enthusiastic support for their team during the semifinal game against Orono Friday, March 9 at Xcel Energy Center.

Bartholomew. “We have practiced that a lot, getting the puck down low and draw the defender in and get it back to me, and we executed it pretty well.”

Joe Paradise scored for Mahtomedi in the first period. Mankato went up 2-1 in the second as strong shots by Adan Megard and Sam Schultz got past goalie Bailey Huber. Paradise tied the score in the third with his second goal, setting up the late drama.

Mahtomedi put 33 shots on goal to Mankato’s nine but had to come from behind.

In the semifinals, Orono was on the verge of a rout of the Zephyrs as Thomas Walker pumped in three goals and Daniel Eckerline another for a 4-0 lead, 14 minutes into the second period.

That’s when Mahtomedi mounted a rally they’ll talk about for a long time.

Just 27 seconds after Walker completed his hat trick, Sam Ayd got Mahtomedi on the board with a power-play goal, assisted by Charlie Bartholomew and Noah Skillings at 13:45 of the second.

Kory Pilarski plunked in the second goal at 16:18, unassisted. Suddenly within 4-2, the Zephyrs kept it going after the break with Aidan Pearson denting the net just 15 seconds into the third period, assisted by Bartholomew and Joe Paradise.

The equalizer came from Jeff Kneale at 2:03 of the period, Pilarski and Tommy Broten assisting.

The final 15 minutes were scoreless as Orono goalie Evan Babekuhl survived

Annika Sougstad, Mahtomedi basketball guard, had a painful career finale last week, suffering a knee injury early in the section championship, which the Zephyrs lost. On a No. 3 ranked, 25-3 team, this 5-10 senior averaged 12.8 points, ran the offense, got the ball to their 22-ppg forward (Emma Grothaus) and was the best defender. A three-year starter, Sougstad averaged 10.4 points as a junior on a 22-4 team. She will continue her career at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

and Tyler Watkins and Elliott Peterson one each.

“I could not be more proud of my team,” Poeschl said. “They worked hard, stayed unified, and played at a high level throughout the tournament.

We just didn't get the result on the scoreboard that would usually be the result of this type of effort.”

Mahtomedi had one all-tournament pick in Pilarski, junior forward who notched two goals and one assist.

Mahtomedi’s state tournament appearance in 2018 will be remembered for two electrifying stretches of hockey.

One of them resulted in a victory while the other didn’t, and both earned the admiration of the tournament’s vast audience.

The Zephyrs, down 2-1 after two, scored twice on a five-minute power play late in the third period to shake off Mankato East/Loyola 4-2 in the quarterfinals Wednesday at Xcel Energy Center.

“This team has shown a lot of grit all season, from day one,” coach Jeff Poeschl said after the opening win. “We have always shown resilience and resolve. I am very pleased to be part of it.”

That certainly applied in the semifinals.

After falling behind 4-0 against Orono on Friday, the Zephyrs reeled off four consecutive goals in five minutes, overlapping the second and third periods, to pull even. They ultimately lost in overtime 5-4 to the eventual state champion team.

“We have had to come back and rally from one and two goal deficits during the regular season and sections but never four,” exclaimed Poesch. “I do not recollect any team that I have coached in the last 24 years ever rallying from four goals down. That was pretty impressive work by this team, and on a big stage!”

Mahtomedi lost the third-place game to Hermantown 4-0, finishing 22-8-1 in fourth place in their ninth state trip.

The Zephyrs were ranked No. 2 and seeded No. 2, both behind Hermantown.

Orono conquered Alexandria 2-1 for the championship, in a duel of two schools that had never reached the finals before. Alexandria stunned Hermantown, two-time defending champions, 6-1 in the semifinals.

Against Mankato, Charlie Bartholomew delivered the go-ahead goal with 1:51 left and Kory Pilarski got the clincher with 52 seconds left, each on a five-minute power play for a checking-from-behind penalty with 5:49 left.

Actually the Zephyrs had a penalty of their own and lost the man advantage for two minutes, in which they did not allow a shot, then went back on the power play with 3:09 left.

Bartholomew pounced on the puck to the left of the goalie, backed up a step and fired it past him. Pilarski’s clincher was a pretty wrap-around; he came from behind the net, hooked the puck and flung it past the goalie.

“We were moving the puck pretty well on the power play, quick and fast,” said

‘Should have been in state for sure’ but crucial injury got in way for Zephyrs

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Emma Grothaus and Annika Sougstad anticipated they’d be closing their basketball careers at Mahtomedi with a state tournament appearance next week.

Instead, Sougstad watched her final game from the bench in anguish with an injured knee, while, in the floor leader’s absence, Grothaus endured endless double-teams and the team struggled to handle the ball.

DeLaSalle, not an easy team to beat even at full strength, denied Mahtomedi what would have been its first state trip in girls basketball 47-41 in the Section 4AAA finals Saturday evening.

“That was definitely not how I wanted my career to end,” said Sougstad, who tore her ACL three minutes into the game, the first time she’s ever been injured — in the biggest game of her life so far.

“But I was very proud of how the girls fought all the way and came back late in the game.”

The No. 5 ranked Islanders (19-8) got the upset of No. 3 Mahtomedi (25-3) at East Ridge High School mainly by stealing the ball 19 times and forcing 25 turnovers, huge numbers in a game of two teams playing patient offense.

The other major factor was Islander junior forward Elaina Jones torching the Zephyrs for 24 points while grabbing batches of steals and rebounds.

Sougstad would have been guarding her.

Mahtomedi was 47-7 the last two years, with their path to state blocked each year by DeLaSalle, who beat them 41-39 in the semifinals last year.

Sougstad was bringing the ball up the sidelines when she planted her left foot, got bumped by somebody and fell down.

She got up limping and had to be helped off.

“At fi rst I thought she just twisted her

ankle and would be back in a minute,” Grothaus said, “but when I asked our coach, he said ‘No, she is out.’ It was pretty hard to hear that. It’s tough to lose your best guard when you’re playing a team like that.”

“It felt really weird. Yes, very painful, too,” said Sougstad about her knee, which was quickly diagnosed by the trainer. “It was very hard for me to hear that I was not going back in to help my team.”

Mahtomedi beat DeLaSalle 51-36 in early December at the Breakdown Classic. Grothaus pulverized the Islanders with 32 points that day. DLS had taken a 14-4 lead with its pesky press but got into foul trouble and eased up the pressure.

That wasn’t the case in the section finals. The Islanders were so quick they seemed to have everybody double-teamed. Rudderless without Sougstad in the face of such pressure, the Zephyrs kept getting the ball knocked out of their hands and passes intercepted.

“If we had (Sougstad), it would of been a different outcome,” said coach Eric Prose. “She plays a huge role on our team. Point guard, second-leading scorer and rebounder, and best defender. They double-teamed Emma all night, with our point out.”

Grothaus, who normally wheels to the hoop from the high post with ease, had four arms on the ball every time she tried, and was limited to 15 points this time. She thought the Islanders got away with a lot of contact.

“They would sink in on me whenever I drove and I had to pass the ball out,” said Grothaus, who averaged 22 points this year and scored 1,848 career points. “They were holding me the whole game. I saw a photo in the Star-Tribune that showed them hacking my arms.”

Prose added, “I felt the refs let too much go, and swallowed their whistle at key times of the game. We average

BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Emma Grothaus never had a moment’s peace against DeLaSalle. Here, she had the ball knocked away while trying to shoot.

around 25 to 30 free throws a game; this time we got to the line 16 times.”

DeLaSalle coach Tanysha Scott said the Islanders always attack the ball like that.

“Now with Mahtomedi of course we planned to give more attention to Emma because of her abilities and because of what she did to us last game, with scoring 32 points. The plan didn’t change after No. 10 went out. I didn’t even know she didn’t return until we walked in the locker room at half time and saw her teammates carrying her.”

Grothaus, asked about the team’s reaction, said, “It was really quiet and there was a lot of crying. We knew this was our year, and we should have been in the state tournament for sure.”

On the bright side, both girls have four more years of hoops to look forward to. Both are heading out east, Grothaus to LeHigh in Pennsylvania, Sougstad to Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“I am very excited about the next four years,” Sougstad said. “I will be rehab-

bing and will be ready for next season at MIT.” “This is just a bump in the road,” Grothaus said.

Mahtomedi led 21-19 at halftime, mainly because Josey Underwood stepped up to sink three of four 3-pointers early in the game and had 11 of her 14 points by the half.

The Islanders came out blazing in the second half and opened a 38-28 lead.

They were able to kill long stretches of time just dribbling the ball. But the Zephyrs finally got something going and made a game of it.

The Zephyrs pulled within 38-34 on two Grothaus free shots; 38-36 when Saley Underwood, who had seven points, broke loose under the hoop on an inbounds play; and 41-39 when Grothaus nailed a 3-pointer, the only time she was open all night.

However, the Zephyrs had to foul, and DeLaSalle cashed seven of eight free shots down the stretch — grabbing their ninth state trip and keeping Mahtomedi with none.

Tip-in at buzzer keeps Zephyr boys in hunt for fi rst state trip since 1961

Mahtomedi has gone to state in boys basketball just once, in 1961. The current Zephyr squad is one win away from ending that 57-year absence.

J’vonne Hadley whoops it up with teammate Cole Chapman (31) after scoring the game-winner at the buzzer.

No. 11 ranked Mahtomedi (21-7) will duel No. 7 Columbia Heights (19-6) on Thursday, 7 p.m., for the championship of a section with five teams ranked in the top 20. Games are held at St. Paul Washington Technology Magnet School.

Hadley had the game in his hands in the final five seconds and the lanky 6-foot-5 sophomore came through. Tightly guarded, he drove the baseline, went up for contested layup that missed, soared for the rebound, and this time banked it cleanly through the cords as time ran out.

The Zephyrs thus finally put away a team that just wouldn’t die. The No. 16 Eagles (15-13 against a mostly 4A schedule) trailed by 15 in the fi rst half but charged back to take a brief lead late in the game. Down 74-68 with 40 seconds left, they sank two 3-pointers in one

trip down the floor (forcing an inbounds turnover in between) to knot the game and force overtime.

Senior forward Jack Shay netted 23 points to lead Mahtomedi. Senior forward Karmoga Lero sank 18, including three 3-pointers, while Hadley added 14 and senior guard Timmy Lindquist 13 including a 3-point play in overtime for an 81-80 lead.

For the Eagles, senior guard Charlie Jacob sank 25 points while two freshman guards, Carter Weierke and Chasen Livingston, pumped in 21 and 18, respectively.

Mahtomedi almost blew the game by missing eight of 11 free shots down the stretch in regulation, although they were 19-for-30 overall. That’s why they could not put the Eagles away.

In the quarterfinals, the Zephyrs beat St. Paul Como Park 81-58 with Shay scoring 20 points, Zac Centers 17, Devin Melzer 14, and Lero 10, Mahtomedi has a score to settle with Columbia Heights, which has beaten them three times in the last two seasons in close games, including 73-63 in last year’s section finals.

Boxing club getting some live action again

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

When we last visited the decades-old White Bear Lake Boxing Club about 18 months ago, new volunteer head coach Dave Lusby was getting things re-organized with a handful of aspiring boxers working out, but nobody competing.

The club is starting to land some blows again.

Lusby judged local resident Steve Lucas ready for action and took him to the Upper Midwest Golden Gloves event at Medina Ballroom on Jan. 27. Lucas won.

On March 3, Lusby took a trio of boxers to a card in Proctor. Lucas won again, while Mohammad El-Bashir of St. Paul and nine-year-old Solesia Miranda lost.

“We’ve got 14 boxers registered right now,” said Lusby, who did a little boxing as a teenager and has stayed connected because he loves boxing and wants to help people get the opportunity. His wife Tammy assists his efforts.

El-Bashir, Lucas’ sparring partner, has fought four times, and Miranda twice, without a win.

“They were improved (at Proctor) but they went against better boxers, too,” Lusby said.

Next for the group, as they practice evenings at the club alongside Highway 61 north of town, is the St. Paul Golden Gloves regional sometime in April. Lusby fi gures he’ll take two to four fi ghters there.

Lucas, in his debut Jan. 27, at age 33, out-pointed Ramon Vang of the Anoka-Coon Rapids club in a 165-pound bout, three two-minute rounds.

“It was a war. Both of them landed a lot of punches,” Lusby said.

A lanky six-footer with lots of tattoos, Lucas worked out with the club for a couple years about a decade ago, without actually competing. A tool and die worker, he returned to the club last fall he said, “just to stay out of trouble.” His highschool sport was hockey for South St. Paul.

Young Solesio is accompanied by his dad, Steve.

After taping up the boy’s hands and sending him to the punching bag at a recent practice, Steve said Solesio had been taking tae kwon do lessons but “wanted more action” so he got into boxing.

The White Bear Lake Boxing Club, established in 1978, has always been free of charge, with equipment provided. The club passed into Lus-

Touching gold: Youth hockey players inspired by homegrown Olympians

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association girls U10A player No. 20 kissed Hannah Brandt's gold medal last week.

“She has the same number as me, and we both play forward,” said Mia Fischer at a community homecoming party held at the Vadnais Heights Commons March 8.

Youth players met both Hannah and Marissa Brandt, took photos, got autographs and skated in the Community Park ice rink recently named in the Olympians' honor throughout the evening.

“They are so good, and I can't really imagine how they were this young,” said Grace Bailey, a teammate of Fischer's. The girls were not just awed by Hannah's gold medal but that both sisters were Olympians.

“I think it's fun either way,” Bailey said. “Play your best ... have fun,” Fischer added.

Spending time with local youth hockey girls where they played while growing up is something Hannah and Marissa were excited about.

“We hope to inspire young girls to want to play hockey,” said Marissa, who played for the fi rst-ever unified Korean national team.

“We want to inspire the next generation of girls that you can do anything you set your mind to,” said Hannah, who made Team USA after her dream of making the team for the 2014 Olympics was dashed.

Longtime family friends John and Beth Richardson, who have known the girls since they were babies and have attended their games for many years, said they have always been impressed by how Hannah and Marissa played with character and humility.

“They are not just athletes,” Beth said. “They are role models to young girls.”

Hannah and Marissa's parents Greg and Robin spoke to a crowd of family, friends and youth hockey players after they were allowed to mingle with the Olympians.

Greg and Robin mentioned they were proud of Marissa for exploring the culture of her birth

country, unifying the unified Korean hockey team players as a captain, and being named an official ambassador for Korean adoptees to help fi nd their birth parents. Marissa used her birth name, Park Yoon-jung, on her Korean team jersey in the hopes that her birth mother may recognize her. Greg said he was proud not only of Hannah's gold medal but her team's work for equal treatment of men's and women's hockey players last year.

The event, planned March 8 because Hannah flew home the day before and Marissa was to fly

out the next day, happened to coincide with International Women's Day. Not only that, but local historian Jeff Williams pointed out that earlier that day a South Korean delegate visited the White House with a letter from North Korean President Kim Jong-un inviting President Trump to talk about denuclearization. Williams said he thought the Olympics, the unified Korean hockey team and Hannah and Marissa played a significant role in bringing the historic discussion about.

“Sports unifies people,” noted the evening's MC and local sports announcer Kirk Possehl.

The girls grew up playing with the White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association when they were students at St. Odilia in Shoreview.

“They've carved a path for all of you to follow,” said association representative Jerry Kwapick.

Coach Brian Geir said he has told his players, “You have the same opportunity.”

Greg said the girls' journey to the Olympics really began at Children's Discovery day care in Vadnais Heights, where the family met another family who got them started in hockey.

“For all you young girls out there, follow your dreams,” Robin said. “We lived a dream I never would have expected.”

Thousands of people have touched her gold medal, Hannah said. She wouldn't have it any other way — she wants to share it, she said.

New plans for dealing with waste on potential ice arena site

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

GRANT — A community ice arena planning group has new plans for dealing with the waste buried below its potential site near Mahtomedi High School.

Recreational Ice and Neighborhood Center (Rinc 2 Corp) worked with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to develop its new plans, said Alex Rogosheske.

Rinc 2 Corp participated in the MPCA's voluntary response action program to determine the best course of action for dealing with a layer of waste left over from a disposal site used more than 50 years ago.

The MPCA had concerns about the proposed pilings on the building

until it is approved by the council.

The land the proposed hockey arena would sit on near the high school and middle school was used for disposal of municipal, solid and industrial waste from the 1950s to the 1970s, according to the MPCA. An area east of the site was also used as a transfer station for commercial and household wastes.

The site was cleaned up in the 1990s when lead and polychlorinated biphenyls (associated with coolant fluids) were detected. They were excavated and a vegetative cap of soil and plants was put on the site.

In the environmental assessment worksheet (EAW) performed by Bay West last year, a methane mitigation system had been recommended.

Home cleanup project cleared by pollution control

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

GRANT — A home cleanup project investigated by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has been given the green light.

“Our follow-up is complete, and there were no concerns identified from a solid waste or contaminated soil aspect,” said Nick Nistler, construction stormwater inspector.

The landowners failed to obtain an MPCA construction stormwater permit before beginning work, a requirement for projects that involve digging up more than 1 acre of soil.

“I did do an inspection and identified that the

property owner was performing land disturbing activities without a construction stormwater permit,” Nistler said.

However, the landowners have now completed the requirements, including erosion prevention measures and sediment controls. The case was concluded by the MPCA the end of last month.

“The landowner was responsive and completed correction actions in a timely manner,” Nistler said.

The MPCA requires the permit and controls to keep dirt from running off a site in order to protect nearby water resources, said Mary Connor, communications specialist.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — The City Council conducted the following business at its March 6 meeting: • Discussed various options for residential curbside recycling contractors as the end of the current five-year contract with Waste Management draws near. Options include renewing the contract with Waste Management and/or soliciting bids from other haulers through the request for proposal process. Waste Management has been serving the 2,000 or so households in Mahtomedi for the past 15 years at a rate of $3.12 per month per household. The cost to residents is subsidized by a $16,000 grant the city receives from the county. The city charges residents $8.05 per quarter.

• Gave city staff permission to advertise for seasonal workers.

The Public Works Department asked for approval to advertise for up to three public works seasonal employees.

• Approved a one-day, off-site gambling permit for the Bayport American Legion to hold a Coach Purse Bingo at the Dugout Bar, 96 Mahtomedi Ave. on March 11.

• Approved a proposal from CivicPlus for website design services at a cost of $18,650, plus the annual maintenance fee of $3,900. This cost will be charged to the “Communications” account line item and will be split over four years, amounting to $7,588 annually. Staff feels the city's website is outdated and recommended its redesign and enhancement.

• Scheduled the next council work session for 5:30 p.m. March 20 to interview applicants for advisory commissions.

• Approved an agreement with Center for Energy Environment to contribute toward home energy audits. After a review, the Environmental Commission recommended that the city contribute 50 percent toward each audit, not to exceed $50. The home energy audits are part of the Partners in Energy Action Plan developed by members of the community.

• Approved a change order in the amount of $13,494 for Phase 2 of Historic District improvements.

• Approved construction pay voucher No. 14 and fi nal in the amount of $160,550 to T. A. Schifsky and Sons Inc. for Phase 2 Historic District improvements.

project near Joliet Avenue and 110th Street last fall and the owners were served a cease-and-desist order by the city.

Homeowners Mike and Heather Morehouse said they had not realized they needed an MPCA permit as well as a construction permit for the residential cleanup project. They were working on their driveway and also cleaning up their land. When they bought the house, they did not know the previous owner had left debris in the woods — glass, fencing and tires.

The couple had the soils tested independently last fall. Braun Intertec reported no issues with the soils tested.

Mahtomedi takes first step to extend utilities

BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — At one point, the city wanted to extend water and sanitary sewer to the residents along South Warner Avenue near the border with Pine Springs, then it didn't.

At one point, the residents along South Warner Avenue didn't want to hook up to city water and sanitary sewer, then they did.

Last year, a resident on Bevins Lane — Joe Bevins — asked to be hooked up to city water and sanitary sewer, but the city denied his request.

This year, 80 percent of the residents on Bevins Lane, Bichner Lane and Talahi Drive signed a petition to have city water and sanitary sewer extended to their streets.

It's the fi rst time a valid petition has been signed by this many property owners, said City Engineer John Sachi.

As a result of the petition, the City Council passed a resolution March 6 authorizing staff to prepare a feasibility report for local improvements to extend water utilities to Bevins Lane, Bichner Lane, Talahi Drive and Warner Avenue.

Bevins said that last year, when council denied his request, city officials told him that if he had had other people petition with him, the outcome might have been different. Bevins then contacted neighbors from other nearby roads and found people who were in favor of the extensions. Twelve residents signed the petition, two residents opposed the project and declined to sign the petition, and several other residents remained neutral.

Back in the 1960s, Bevins' father bought the land that makes up Bevin's Lane. He wanted the city to run utilities onto the subdivided properties to create a modernized development. However, at that time the city said it had no future plans to extend utilities that far. Those houses built in 1972 on 1-acre lots were constructed with septic systems.

In 1976, the city approached the residents asking if they wanted city utilities, Bevins recalled. The residents declined because all the systems had just been installed and were still in good working condition.

For the next 25 years, the "if it ain't broke, don't fi x it" policy applied whenever the extension question came up.

The last time the extension was offered was in 2001, Bevins said. Nothing was said again about extensions until 2017, when his petition was denied.

“The residents are probably not the same people from 2001,” Bevins said.

“We would like to move forward to have this study in order to achieve Mahtomedi's Comprehensive Plan and to extend utilities to the area.”

The next step in the process would be a neighborhood meeting, likely sometime in April or May; the feasibility report would be presented shortly afterward.

A public hearing would follow in June; preparation of plans and specifications could be authorized at that time. Bidding would open in the fall and construction could begin during the summer of 2019.

“We can't squeeze this project in for 2018,” Sachi said. “Most likely, the project would be scheduled for 2019, followed by an assessment hearing.”

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

MARCH 14, 2018 www.presspubs.com

WHITE BEAR SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The White Bear Lake Area School Board took the following action at its March 5 meeting: • Held the first reading of three School Board policies with proposed changes. Policy 410, family and medical leave, has proposed changes to be updated in accordance with the Parenting Leave Policy and Military Family Leave Act. The district is also proposing to increase unpaid family leave from six to 12 weeks for employees that do not qualify for its regular 12-week unpaid parental leave. Policy 805, waste reduction and recycling, has proposed changes to meet current laws.

Policy 806, crisis management policy, has proposed changes to update it with current laws and is proposed to be combined with policy 804, bomb threats, and policy 803, warning systems and emergency plans.

• Awarded the sale of facilities maintenance bonds. The bonds were sold for a better interest rate than expected, reported representatives from Ehlers Inc. The district received 10 bids. The lowest bid received was 2.96 percent. The expected interest rate was 3.19 percent. The lower interest rate will save the district about $400,000, said Tim Wald, assistant superintendent for finance and operations. That saves taxpayers money, he added.

The expected principal amount was $16.13 million; the principal amount for the lowest bid received was $15.97 million. The proceeds of the bonds will be used to fund the costs of projects at various district facilities, Wald said. The district has a AA bond rating.

• Approved the school calendar for the 2018-2019 school year. The first day of school for sixth through 12th grade will be Sept. 4. First- through fifth-graders begin Sept. 5. Kindergarten orientation will be held Sept. 4-5 and their first day of school will be Sept. 6.

• Approved the 2018-2019 achievement and integration budget, which provides various student support services. About $700,000 (82 percent of the total budget) is proposed to be used on direct services to students, which fits within the 80 percent requirement. The rest is for professional development.

The budget is reviewed annually per state requirement.

• Approved a contract with SEIU Local 284 White Bear Lake Extended Day staff.

• Approved minor changes to policies: policy 413, harassment and violence; policy 425, staff development; policy 524, electronic technologies acceptable use policy; policy 708, transportation of nonpublic school students; and policy 711, video recording on school buses.
