TOWNSHIP: Preliminary levy keeps taxes low PAGE 8A

Augmentation bill gets stamp of approval BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — After a few tweaks, the City Council threw its weight behind a bill to augment the lake. An early version of a resolution was discussed last month by council, which decided it was necessary to show “qualified” support to the pending bonding bill. Again, there are conditions. Wording that emphasized the lake’s regional appeal was added to the resolution, as was the council’s concern that any ongoing operational and maintenance costs be funded by all benefiting jurisdictions and parties in a fair and equitable manner through a mechanism approved by the city. Lake water quality must also be preserved. The council agreed that language addressing the lake level lawsuit be included to require plaintiffs request the deadlines outlined in the settlement agreement be extended one year and that the lawsuit be dismissed if the augmentation project moves forward. Deleted from the early draft was wording in a “whereas” that singled out “those residing on its shoreline.” Instead, the whereas read: “White Bear Lake is a local and regional asset enjoyed and used by residents of the entire Twin Cities metropolitan region.” Councilman Kevin Edberg felt the language encouraged the city to assess costs equally to properties. “What are we saying about operating expense to

Volunteers keep Bear Boating afloat BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

Volunteers are the backbone of Bear Boating and with an expanding schedule, more are needed to keep the program afloat. “We need able-bodied folks 18 years and older to help people in wheelchairs get on and off the pontoon,” said Peg Black, one of Bear Boating’s board members. There’s also the hooks that need baiting or the lines that need untangling for those who come to fish. In its second year under the new moniker, Bear Boating is a nonprofit dedicated to taking military members, both active and veterans, seniors and disabled on a two-hour pontoon ride around White Bear Lake.

Judging by its many return customers, the cruise is a hit. “People come from all over the metro,” Black noted. Some, like Rakhma Homes, bring disabled youth three times a month and the Hastings veterans home regularly buses residents to the lake. Run strictly by volunteers, the group wants to offer more evening trips, hence the need for able-bodied souls who may only be available at night. “We run two to three trips per day, so we need people who can relieve the boat captains and crew for evening excursions,” said board member Tracey Montgomery. There is currently one trip a week on Monday nights to watch the A scow races. “Everyone works for the fun

and love of it. No one gets paid,” Black said. What makes their efforts worthwhile is the joy it brings to the passengers. Montgomery tells the story of woman in her 90s who loved to fish but hadn’t gone in years. “When she caught a fish, she was ecstatic, calling it ‘a million-dollar day,’” Montgomery said. “Then she caught a second fish. ‘It’s a $2-million day!’ the woman shouted.” The boat captains and crew take eager fishermen to spots known for prolific panfish. “They have a ball catching (and releasing) sunnies,” Montgomery added. “It doesn’t matter how small the fish. There’s good eagle watching too. The eagles wait in the trees for us to SEE BEAR BOATING, PAGE 8A

Uncivilized politics “Look out! There’s mud being slung somewhere.”

he dinner party was going quite well. The food was palatable and the guests congenial. I was in the kitchen preparing coffee and dessert when I heard the dreaded word - politics. Within minutes my guests became polarized with opinions and soon disparaging words were ﬂying. That’s when I knew it was time to change the course of this dinner party cruise. “Ok everyone, enough about that. Jerry, tell us about your trip to Nashville.” Whew – a dinner party disaster averted. The rules of etiquette at a dinner party are to avoid any conversation topics that involve: politics, religion, gossip, or anything gross. And, with this being a political year, there needs to be some rules of engagement for our politicians. George Washington, our ﬁrst president, would have never behaved as some of our current contestants are. He, at the age of 15, memorized 110 rules of civility and decent behavior

and so ingrained them into his life that even as he climbed the political ladder he never failed to be courteous and respectful to those around him. Here are four of George’s rules that I would advise our politicians to use: RULE #1 “Every action done in company, ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present.” Everyday Eye rolling, cursing, name calling, and perEtiquette sonal attacks combine to make a short list of Julie Frantz behaviors we see from both Where’s the respect? b h parties. i W Respectful behavior includes: * If you can’t be kind, be quiet. *Agree to disagree *Allow differing opinions without attacking the character of another person *Let the person speaking ﬁnish their thoughts, then respond *Keep voice levels at a moderate range, no yelling

George Washington, our ﬁrst president, would have never behaved as some of our current contestants are. RULE #49 “Use no reproachful language against anyone, neither curse nor revile.” I’m wondering if they would have anything to say if they eliminated the reproachful language? Why not focus on the issues and what you plan to do rather than bring disgrace upon your competition? Cursing is very unprofessional and shows a lack of intelligence and revile means to “call bad names” which is just plain childish. Are they running for the Presidency or backyard bully? RULE # 50 “Be not hasty to believe ﬂying reports to the disparagement of any.” White lies and half-truths are still lies. Politicians need to speak the truth in love. (Sounds like a sermon,

doesn’t it?) Focus on the issues instead of digging up dirt on others. With 89 percent of Americans saying rude behavior has hit an all-time high and they want a change, I would think candidates running on a platform of courtesy would garnish votes. America was built on a code of civility starting with our first president, George Washington. He left a legacy of correct conduct, being a gentleman and giving his all for his country. The last rule in his list of 110 rules of civility and decent behavior is “Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.” We can only hope that the mud-slinging will subside and we will turn the tide to a new set of “rules of engagement” for those aspiring to the highest offices in this country. God Bless America! Julie Frantz is the founder of Everyday Etiquette, a Twin Citiesbased business whose mission is to bring an awareness of civility to the community. She’s on the web at www. everydayetiquette.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Educational foundation thank you On behalf of Board President Jenny Nadeau, myself and the White Bear Lake Educational Foundation Board of Directors, I’d like to express our gratitude for the wonderful photos and story about the Glasrud Family Fellowship recipients in the March 2 White Bear Press. The page gathered lots of buzz and helped demonstrate the work of our teachers and the foundation. Jenny is out of town and has only just seen the paper recently online. She was absolutely ecstatic and grateful to see the wonderful spread. Thank you for showcasing the work of the foundation. We are always grateful to Press Publications. Dawn Hank White Bear Lake

into a hole in the lake is sadly mistaken. The general theory that the lake is leaky and the underlying aquifer is pulling the lake water down is all but accepted as fact. Lake level fluctuation is well documented. The proposal to spend $58plus million or even $20-plus million with additional yearly millions to maintain a purification station is totally out of line. Thirty-seven people voted not to augment; almost as many as those in favor of augmentation. Do not let a small group of individuals make a decision on your tax money. Contact your council person, county commissioner, state elected representatives and the White Bear Lake Conservation District and express your objection to lake augmentation. Tom Stirling White Bear Lake

No to lake augmentation

Reduce extra property tax

Thirty-seven of our White Bear Lake neighbors at the recent DFL caucuses unanimously approved a party resolution not to spend taxpayer money to augment the lake. Any impression that the “community” is behind pouring money

Minnesota businesses pay an extra property tax above and beyond what they pay to local governments. Since 2002, more than $10 billion has been sent from our communities to the state of Minnesota to pay for this extra levy. In fact, busi-

nesses in the Twin Cities metro area have the sixth-highest property tax burden in the country. And the statewide property tax is on auto-pilot, going up by the rate of inflation each year. It's hard enough to create jobs without piling on special taxes onto our job creators. Let use a portion of the state's projected budget surplus to reduce Minnesota's extra property tax and eliminate the automatic inflator. Let's keep that extra money back home in our communities. Tom Snell Executive Director White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce

The jewel in our midst Recently the White Bear Lake office of Edina Realty enjoyed an extraordinary Friday evening at our very own nourishing and inspiring White Bear Center for the Arts. The event was a fundraiser for the Edina Realty Foundation, which raises money for the homeless. Each Edina Realty office is responsible for its own events, and the contributions are matched by the corporate office. To date, over $7 million has been raised. The evening

event featured a “learn to paint” class taught by Susan Hartzell Vanelli, a marvelously experienced and talented artist on staff. She was exceptional, alternating between soothing our anxieties, encouraging us to risk and grow, and cleverly teaching painting techniques. She frequently burst into song: “These are just wonderful!” What began as a somewhat intimidating experience grew into a scene of wonder, joy and focused learning about art and about ourselves. At the end of the class, each artist was encouraged to sign their work and stand up to display it for the class. The evening culminated with a profound sense of camaraderie, encouragement and support between colleagues. People realized they had departed from their comfort zones, found the potential for a new skill, and built large portions of confidence. The sales meeting on the following Tuesday continued the discussions of exploring and extolling the results of the class, how the lessons impacted people personally, professionally and as a team. The WBCA is truly a jewel in our midst, inviting us to learn and grow, ultimately leading us and our community towards more vivid and

Enjoyed the Lions show On March 5 my great-granddaughter and I attended our third annual Lions show. There was a mix-up regarding our prepaid tickets. We were graciously escorted to our seats, which were still available. They were very sincere in getting us in to see the show. As usual the show was terrific! If you’ve never attended one, you should give it a try. I knew it had been a good production as when we left my great-granddaughter stated, “I think I want to be an actress.” She has also attended several plays with me at Lakeshore Players.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Grass fire at nature center Otter Lake Road was closed for almost two hours the evening of March 8 while the White Bear Lake Fire Department battled a grass fire at Tamarack Nature Center. Assistant Fire Chief Joel Hewitt said it's likely a discarded cigarette was to blame for the fire that burned 3 to 4 acres of prairie, but the Ramsey County Sheriff's office considers it accidental. A witness running along a trail in the park saw the person and reported it, Hewitt said, and deputies talked to two men matching the description. Ramsey County Commander Ty

Sheridan said they stopped two vehicles in the area and interviewed the drivers. "We determined it was not arson and the case was cleared," he said. Hewitt said the fire was "impressive looking," adding that the challenging part was reaching the area. The department used its ATV equipped with water tank and called Hugo and Lino Lakes for mutual aid. They arrived with ATVs, since it was too muddy to reach the area with a grass rig. Firefighters were on the scene at least 90 minutes from the time the call went in about 5:30 p.m. Debra Neutkens

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

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • Deputies responded to a report of an injured opossum March 2 on Centerville Road. The opossum, which may have been “playing possum,” was gone when deputies arrived. • Deputies were assigned to look into an IRS letter regarding a 2015 tax return signed by a married couple on March 2. According to Social Security records, the man died on Oct. 15. • A 72-year-old Maplewood man was caught on camera March 2 pilfering produce, soup and batteries at a discount store in the 800 block of County Road E. The senior shoplifter was cited and released. • A woman out for a walk March 2 on County Road D found a black cat which appeared to be a stray. She brought the cat home, where it promptly bit her husband, adding to the belief that black cats bring bad luck. Four days later the cat

was picked up in the area and transported to Hillcrest Animal Hospital where it awaits its owner. • A cashier at a discount store in the 800 block of County Road E with his hands in the till between Feb. 20 and March 3 was accused of stealing $1,900 following an audit. The 19-year-old St. Paul man, who reportedly admitted the transgression, was booked at the jail for felony theft. • A deputy responding to a report of an altercation the afternoon of March 5 was charged by a boy in the driveway. The juvenile male (age not released) told the deputy he was interested in killing his dad. The youth was taken to a local hospital for a psych evaluation and the case was turned over to the county attorney’s office on pending charges of second-degree assault and terroristic threats. His father, 55, was treated for a minor head laceration. • Three prospective diners entered a 24-7 restaurant on County Road E in the pre-dawn hours of March 5 and promptly sat down in the “closed” section. When

told by an employee to move, one member of the trio assaulted the male employee, who was later treated for minor injuries. The suspect was described as a bald black male with a goatee, between 18 and 25 years old. The two males and a female fled the scene in a gold sedan. • A driver was observed crossing onto a Rice Street shoulder several times before midnight March 5, then pulling into a gas station and stumbling out of his vehicle. That was enough probable cause for deputies to look into the matter further, and a half bottle of vodka was found on the back seat. The 44-year-old man tested 0.08 percent blood alcohol content and was jailed on DWI, open bottle and license violation charges. • Two city-owned buildings in the 3400 block of Centerville Road were broken into overnight March 7. Nothing was reported missing from the buildings, which are scheduled for demolition. Parts of obsolete computers were scattered about. Scrappers are suspected. • Responding to reports of a fight March 8 at a County Road D residence,

deputies found a 53-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man, both with minor injuries. “We’re married,” the man said. Misdemeanor fifth-degree assault charges are pending action by the city attorney’s office against both people. • Following a traffic stop March 8 on I-35E, the vehicle was found to be stolen. The 26-year-old male driver with no permanent address was booked at the jail on a felony auto theft charge. Two adult passengers and two children were transported home.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A juvenile male, age not released, took a swing at a female staff member at the Bellaire Education Center in the 2500 block of County Road F on March 2, connecting with her hand as she tried to block the punch.

Mahtomedi rejects consolidation petition BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER AND SARA MARIE MOORE STAFF WRITERS

MAHTOMEDI — The District 832 School Board said no to a citizen petition to merge with Stillwater Schools, District 834, at a board meeting March 10. The board passed a resolution opposing consolidation with Stillwater. Following the Stillwater School Board’s decision to accept the BOLD proposal and close three elementary schools in the district, a proposal came forward to merge the Stillwater School District with the Mahtomedi School District. The plan would ideally allow the districts to share resources and funding, which could allow for the possibility of keeping Marine, Withrow and Oak Park elementaries open. The idea was forwarded through a citizen petition to the Minnesota Department of Education. The petition still awaits a public hearing with Commissioner of Education Brenda Cassellius at 6 p.m. March 16 at Stillwater Junior High. But in the meantime, Mahtomedi took steps to oppose it. The resolution opposing consolidation with Stillwater was proposed by Vice Chair Julie McGraw at the end of the meeting, after Superintendent Mark Larson spoke to the issue during his report.

“There are so many terrific things going on, which makes it to me almost ludicrous to even think that we would even want to entertain the idea of sharing and pairing with somebody else,” he said. Larson said he lived through a consolidation between Glencoe and Silver Lake in the 1990s. He said consolidation is much different from a business merger. “It required redistricting and a lot of angst and worry,” he said. The last metro school districts to merge in the metro area were Hopkins and Golden Valley, also in the 1990s. “It doesn’t make sense in the metro area,” said Larson. “The reason why you pair and share oftentimes in the metro area is often a sense of desperation — you need to keep the school or the town open. Mahtomedi is operating from a position of strength and we have no interest in consolidating.” Larson said his district has spent a lot of time right-sizing their district and doesn’t want to jeopardize taxpayer investment and families who would have to redistrict. “We are in a really good spot right now and there really is no interest to consolidate with anyone else,” said Larson. “They can run their own business and we should run our own.” In addition, Larson said the district

received about a dozen emails and phone calls urging the district not to consolidate. “We have a terrific school district as it is and people do not want to see that change,” he said. After Larson’s report, Chair Lucy Payne asked board members if they had any comments. McGraw proposed a resolution. “I would like to make a motion that the board pass a resolution stating that with the information before us today, that consolidation has never been discussed nor has it ever been of any interest to the school board of Mahtomedi,” she said. “The board’s full intent is to make Mahtomedi the best school district possible and combining with Stillwater would not help us reach our goals.” Board member Mary Jo Deters concurred. “We have a great thing going and I would like to continue to keep it that way,” said Deters. “And what I hear from our families is that they also want to keep Mahtomedi independent.” The resolution passed unanimously. Mahtomedi also released this statement: “Mahtomedi Public Schools and Stillwater Area School District are not considering consolidating or merging. Neither the districts nor their respective school

boards brought forth this proposal. The meeting is a statutory requirement as a result of a petition signed by 50 residents of the two districts that was presented to the Minnesota Department of Education requesting the consolidation of the two school districts. As required by state statute, Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius will conduct a public hearing on the matter at Stillwater Junior High Auditorium on March 16, 2016, at 6 p.m. The purpose of the hearing is for the commissioner to gather information needed to approve or reject the proposed consolidation plat/supporting statement. After the hearing, the commissioner has 60 days to render a decision. The commissioner’s decision is not binding as each independent school board exercises its own local control. If the commissioner approves the plat and supporting statement, both school boards have 45 days to vote for or against on the consolidation plan. It is important to note that in order for two school districts to consolidate, both districts must agree to the merger. Mahtomedi is not interested in consolidating with Stillwater and Stillwater administration has publicly stated that Stillwater is not interested either.”

DISTRICT 832 SCHOOL BOARD NOTES Action taken by the District 832 School Board on March 10 included: • Accepted about $3,000 in donations, including about $2,000 from Target Take Charge Education for O.H. Anderson Elementary class supplies. • Held a first reading on annually reviewed policies and four additional policies – conflict of interest, enrollment of nonresident students, instructional curriculum and fund balance. In its conflict of interest policy, it added staff members to those individuals not allowed to participate in “the selection, award or administration of a contract supported by federal award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest,” said Superintendent Mark Larson. • In its enrollment policy, it added a third way to check

residency. “In order to determine the eligibility of residency, voting records in the most recent election may be required,” said Larson. It also added information from the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) on requirements that students have only one residence. The home last occupied by both parents is considered the family's residence. • In the instructional curriculum policy, the school board separated math and science in its list of required subject areas. • In the fund balance policy, the board softened language for measures to take if the fund balance fell below 8 percent. It granted itself the ability to make budget cuts if the fund balance falls below 8 percent, instead of 7 percent.

• Approved a revised 2015-2016 budget. The operating funds balance was $6.22 million last June and is projected to be $6.13 million this June. The unassigned fund balance is projected to be about $500,000 larger than last summer. • Approved the 2016-2017 achievement and integration budget in the amount of $313,000. The program aims to reduce disparities based on students' ethnic and economic backgrounds. District 832 hosts mentoring, tutoring, a summer engineering camp and a summer scholars camp for diverse students. Sara Marie Moore

BEAR BOATING: Volunteers vital FROM PAGE 1A

Formerly part of Letâ€™s Go Fishing, the White Bear area volunteers decided to cast off on their own last year, mostly for financial reasons, to start Bear Boating. It meant they had to buy the 28-foot pontoon back from the parent organization and fundraise for other expenses. Area businesses have stepped up to assist the group financially, including boat sponsors Cerenity Care Center, the VFW, American Legion, Chuck & Donâ€™s, Premier Bank and Rudyâ€™s Redeye Grill. Lake Area Bank bought new life jackets last year, which was a huge help, Black said. And the city provides free slip rental. The groupâ€™s budget is about $10,000

Township's preliminary budget, levy passes despite meeting time snafu BY LOUISE ERNEWEIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP â€” Five weeks after Punxsutawney Phil made his official pronouncement, the people of White Bear Township may have wondered if they were taking part in their very own Groundhog Day. At the townâ€™s annual meeting on Tuesday, March 8, Finance Officer Tom Kelly had just finished his review of the townshipâ€™s budget and finances for the years 2015 and 2016 and overview of the proposed 2017 budget and property tax levy when he was asked to start over. A typo in the most recent utility bills sent to township residents incorrectly identified the start time of the meeting as 8 p.m., resulting in about one-third of the attendees arriving an hour late

and only shortly before Kelly concluded his presentation. After a hurried consultation with the townshipâ€™s legal counsel, Patrick Kelly, it was decided that the finance officer should repeat the highlights of the proposed 2017 budget and tax levy before allowing attendees to vote on a motion, rather than asking the latecomers to vote on an unseen proposal. â€œYou wanted a joke,â€? Kelly told one of the attendees as he stood to repeat his presentation. â€œThis is finance; there are no highlights.â€? Regardless of the start time snafu â€” which attorney Kelly said did not affect the legality of the meeting since the official published meeting notice contained the correct start time of 7 p.m. â€” attendees approved the preliminary tax levy for 2017 of $3,445,000, an increase of 2.8 percent from the 2016

preliminary tax levy, with only two voting in opposition. The increase would amount to $12 more per year in township property taxes for the owner of a home valued at $135,000, or $33 more for a home valued at $300,000. â€œI would like to apologize to those of you who got the late notice and I would like to thank those of you who stayed through Tomâ€™s presentation again,â€? said Town Clerk Bill Short. Now that the preliminary budget and tax levy has been approved, it cannot increase between now and the special town budget meeting, set for Dec. 6, when the final budget and tax levy will be voted on by citizens in attendance. Finance officer Kelly pointed out that for the past 10 years, the budget and resulting levy had always decreased between the townâ€™s preliminary budget meeting in March and the special meeting in December. â€œItâ€™s our worst-case scenario,â€? he reminded residents. â€œWe can lower our levy as we go through the budget process, but we canâ€™t exceed whatever we agree tonight.â€? Despite a couple of questions regarding the contract for police services provided by Ramsey County Sheriffâ€™s Department, attendees gave their vote of confidence to the preliminary budget and tax levy after hearing it would keep White Bear Townshipâ€™s property tax rate third-lowest in Ramsey County, while accounting for potential increases such as: staff wage increase of 3 percent; full year of additional Public Works maintenance worker;

health insurance increase of 15 percent; sheriffâ€™s contract and fire service budget increases of 9.35 percent and 10.18 percent, respectively; seal coat project budget increase from $42,000 to $100,000; and park and trail improvement budget increase from $4,300 to $148,500. In other updates provided at the annual meeting: White Bear Township residents are invited to apply for water efficiency rebates for their purchases of qualifying efficient toilets, washing machines and sprinkler controllers. A total $32,000 is available thanks to a grant from the Metropolitan Council matched in part by White Bear Township. Find out more and print application forms from the townshipâ€™s website. Park cam: Coming soon to a park near you. Jack Serier, from the Ramsey County Sheriffâ€™s Department, notified meeting attendees that the department had recently purchased several mobile park cameras which would be making appearances in area parks over the coming months for crime prevention and detection purposes. Work will start this year on the site improvements around the new location of the old White Bear Town Hall, which was moved to Polar Lakes Park from its former site on Hoffman Road overnight on Nov. 20 last year. Sara Markoe Hanson, executive director of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, told attendees that the historical society had already received $11,000 for planned museum exhibits, with another $11,000 pledged.

AUGMENTATION: Sharing the cost FROM PAGE 1A

those who don’t live on the lake?” he asked. “None of us know what will happen, nor have we talked to our colleagues around the lake. There is room for a lot more negotiation. This language facilitates ability to assess the costs without consideration of benefit. And that bothers me.” Mayor Jo Emerson said she interpreted it the opposite way. “We don’t know the operating costs. We’re operating with very little information at this point. I take it to mean that this allows us to negotiate down the road what may have to come from this. It leaves us open to have those discussions if this becomes a bill,” the mayor said. “We’re saying these are our concerns.” Edberg went on to say on two occasions he has requested language that includes something about tax benefit and tax incidence. “I think the people who live in my ward who are nowhere close to the lake should not be paying an allocated share based on the value of their property for operation of improvement of the lake. A different approach to taxation is necessary and I would like something added to this resolution.” Councilman Dan Jones said he just wants something about a fair share reflected in the resolution. “I want people to know this is bigger than the five

communities on the lake.” “We’ve deliberately tried to make this general in nature,” noted City Manager Ellen Richter. “The thinking is that the resolution continues the conversation within the Legislature. If it is successful, we will take the time and energy to come to a consensus about how this will be paid for. We don’t even know what the cost will be. We just wanted it to indicate that unless it’s something we agree on, we’re not in the game.” Richter suggested adding Edberg’s words to one of the qualifications for support: that ongoing costs of operating and maintaining the augmentation project be funded by all benefiting jurisdictions and parties in a fair and equitable manner that takes into consideration tax incidence and benefit recognizing that White Bear Lake is a regional natural resource asset benefiting residents throughout the state. The resolution was approved after adding the language. The version will be forwarded to city and township leaders in the communities surrounding the lake for their consideration. At press time, the bonding bill requesting funds for an augmentation pipeline to White Bear Lake had not yet been introduced in the state Legislature. Sen. Chuck Wiger’s legislative assistant, Greg Weiner, said the bill is still getting signatures and should be introduced Thursday (March 17).

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES The White Th Whi Bear B Lake L k City Ci Council C il approved the following at its March 8 meeting: • A resolution ordering improvements, plans and specifications and authorizing advertising for bids for the 2016 mill and overlay project. Streets involved include Fourth Street from Hwy. 61 to Otter Lake Road (total pavement replacement), Bald Eagle Avenue, Commerce Boulevard and Buerkle Road. Also included is a marked driving/bike lane on Fourth Street. About 28 percent of the estimated $2.2 million project will be funded by special assessments to property owners. The project should start late May or early June. • Modification of an existing ground sign at White Bear Country Inn, 4940 Highway 61. • A text amendment to the zoning

code d allowing ll i solar l panels l as an accessory use on properties in commercial and industrial zoning districts and to establish design standards for both roof-mounted and ground-mounted systems. • An amendment to rules of farmers market allowing vendors to sell local, natural fertilizer, milled flours created by the merchant with some Minnesota-grown products and baking mixes with Minnesota-grown ingredients. • Approved transfer of off-sale liquor license from father to son. When license holder Chongcha Her passed away, his son Oly Her assumed ownership of C&C Wine & Spirits, 4444 Hwy. 61, doing business as MGM Liquor Warehouse. • Heard a report from Police Chief Julie Swanson on alcohol compliance. A two-time sweep last year netted 12 failures, none of which were repeat

offenders. ff d In May, two female underage decoys, both 20, attempted to purchase alcohol. Seven establishments failed the check: Don Julios, Admiral D’s, Tally’s Dockside, MGM Liquor, Sam’s Club, SuperAmerica and the Stadium Sports Bar. In December, two 18-year-old females tried to buy alcohol. Five failures were noted: Cub Wine and Spirits, Donatelli’s, Don’s Little Bar, The Bamboo House and Acqua. When asked, the chief said the compliance checks are never done all in one day. “I know there is a telephone tree (warning other bar owners),” she said. • Discussed a request to allow bow fishing in the city. Members asked that it be a low priority for staff. “We have bigger fish to fry,” one member said. Apparently the sport is gaining in

popularity, l i according di to a “member “ b off the bow fishing community” who wants to start a bow fishing guide service in Washington/Ramsey County. It is currently not allowed in White Bear Lake. Bow fishing is a method to shoot invasive species of fish with a tethered arrow and reel them into the boat. There is generally less than 20 feet of line on a bow reel. Councilman Doug Biehn said he had no problem with allowing bow fishing, to which the mayor responded, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” “Bows are weapons, serious weapons,” said Mayor Jo Emerson. The proposal is something Councilman Kevin Edberg said the White Bear Lake Conservation District should decide. Debra Neutkens

Benson Airport executor contests safety zone change BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The attorney for the late John Benson wants the Town Board to know amending the runway safety zone could spark the airport’s demise. “If houses are put right under low-flying aircraft, there will be complaints and the township and the airport will ultimately be sued,” warned Al Tschida, a North Oaks attorney who is the executor of Benson’s estate. At that point, Tschida said, he’ll have to be the “unpopular guy” who exercises the right of reversion dictated in Benson’s will. “If the airport is closed because of what we’ve warned about and fought against, we may have to take some action.” The attorney was referring to a clause in Benson’s will. When he died in 1996, Benson gifted the airport to the township on the condition

that it operate for at least 40 years. If the airport ceases to exist for whatever reason before that time, the executor can re-gift the land to the American Cancer Society. The township is considering amending the land use safety zone as a result of a lawsuit fi led by Scott and Nanci Stoddard, who own land next to the airport they wish to develop. Attorneys advised the change, claiming it’s in the township’s best interest financially to acquiesce. At a public hearing March 7, Planner Tom Riedesel reviewed the safety zones, which were adopted in 1985 based on a paved public airport model drafted by MnDOT Aviation. Benson is considered a private airport and has a grass strip runway. New land use safety zone models have been adopted since those standards that recommend a shorter safety zone. In this case, it means eliminating 200 feet of the zone.

“The reconfiguration allows more housing units on the (Stoddard) property than under current zoning,” Riedesel said, adding that larger properties in or near the safety zones have developed in accordance with airport safety zoning. The Stoddards, who now live in Lakeville, attended the public hearing but did not speak. The couple wants to develop 19 lots on about 6 acres at 5685 Portland Ave. Thirty years ago, the Mn DOT model was the standard, according to Tschida, who has been flying out of Benson Airport since 1976. “The safety zone has kept houses out of the open space where we have to fly. I guarantee you, if you allow houses in that open space you will get complaints and you will be sued.” Tschida, who was a close friend of John Benson, also offered the board some legal advice regarding the fouryear statute of limitations for

“a taking of property.” “It’s too late for the Stoddards to sue,” he pointed out. “If there was a taking, and I don’t think there is since the township has the power to zone and regulate, but if the [ordinance] is overboard, it had to be sued upon within four years of the 1985 passage. And how is it the Stoddards can buy in 1990 and consider it a taking?” In the lawsuit, the Stoddards claim the safety zone was an unconstitutional taking of their property “to benefit the airport’s private gain.” Calling the League of Minnesota Cities an “insurance company in disguise,” Tschida told the board the League doesn’t care about Benson Airport and only wants to minimize its expenditures. As a League member, the township was provided an attorney to deal with the Stoddard suit, who recommended amending the zone.

With that, the airport spokesman urged the Town Board to say “no” to the recommendation and to bring a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the case. “They bought the property 26 years ago,” Tschida said. “The taking occurred before they bought, how can they possibly complain now that something was taken from them? How can they claim their lawsuit was timely? The Stoddards walked into the property knowing there was a safety zone. They have not been deprived of anything.” The board did not make a decision on the runway change at the March 7 hearing. Since all residents within 350 feet of the proposed rezoning were not notified on time, the public hearing was carried over to Monday, March 21.

Pinnacle of his career: flying the Dreamliner BY JULIE KINK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

American Airlines pilot Paul Chapin has a job most people can only dream of — flying Boeing’s newest airplane, the Dreamliner 787. The Press spoke with Chapin, a fourth-generation Bald Eagle Lake resident (and champion waterskier), on the 31st anniversary of getting his wings. Q: How did you get into ﬂying? My Uncle Bruce Robertson, a 1937 graduate of White Bear, flew during WWII and later for TWA. He was a great guy, with a career that looked really interesting and fun. Locally, Al Lindholm and John Benson encouraged me. Although I took an aviation course in 1969 at White Bear taught by Coach Fred Konrath, it wasn’t until age 27 that I learned to fly. Q: What airplanes have you ﬂown? American hired me in 1985 as a flight engineer on the Boeing 727. After that I was fortunate to fly

the Fokker 100, the Boeing 727, 757, 767 and 777. My seniority number with the airline is high enough now that I successfully bid and was awarded a captain slot on the Dreamliner last December. What a fantastic airplane to fly! Q: What was the training program like for the 787? Training is done at the American Airlines Flight Training Academy located near the airline’s headquarters in Dallas/ Fort Worth. It runs about seven weeks and consists of computer-based home study and ground school, covering airplane specific systems and procedures in approximately 50 hours full motion flight simulator training. Once the training was completed and all tests were passed, I moved on to actual flying in the airplane with a company pilot instructor. That portion of the training took me twice to Shanghai, China where I was trained and checked on international procedures.

Paul Chapin, left, with instructor pilot Jeff Jones in the cockpit of the Dreamliner.

Q: Tell us about the new 787. The 787 is Boeing’s newest airplane. It first flew in 2009, with the first airline delivery in 2011. American, the largest airline in the world, has 15 so far and has orders for a total of 42. We fly them out of Los Angeles and DFW to destinations in Europe, South America and Asia. I’m based in DFW and fly to all of these destinations. The 787 is a twin engine wide body powered by General Electric engines producing 69,800 pounds of thrust at its maximum

weight of 503,500 pounds. It can fly as high as 43,100 feet at a normal cruising speed of .85 mach (550 to 600 mph) and has a range of over 8,000 miles. American’s airplanes are configured for 226 passengers in three classes. The plane is a pioneer in the use of composites as the primary material in its construction, and is 20 percent more fuel-efficient than the 767. Its swept wing tips and noise-reducing engine nacelles make it a very quiet airplane, so long flights are much more comfortable.

Each passenger seat has personal on-demand entertainment with movies, TV shows, games, radio shows, albums and WiFi. The overhead luggage compartments are big and easily opened, the ceiling is high, the cabin windows are large and can be individually dimmed. First class seats convert fully to lie-flat beds. Up in the cockpit, Flyby-Wire flight controls work with integrated flight control electronics, and the advanced wing design make it a great handling airplane. It’s a lot of fun — I marvel at the fact that I’m doing it. Systems are all automatic; three advanced electronic autopilots enable the 787 to land automatically in poor weather. It’s a two-pilot airplane, but one or two relief pilots are required for long flights. We have a bunk behind the cockpit and in the upper part of the plane that we use, so we’re well rested at the end of a long flight. The nine flight attendants also have bunks in the aft cabin and split their breaks up so

they, too, are well rested. Q: You’ll be mandatorily retiring in two years, at age 65. What will you do after that? I enjoy snow skiing, racing, and a lot of other activities that we have here in our beautiful part of the world. I’ve done competitive waterskiing all my life, and I’m president of the USA Water Ski Foundation. Beyond retirement, I don’t know how I’ll reinvent myself. Flying these airplanes, working with pilots, flight attendants and ground personnel has been enjoyable for me. The opportunity to see the world has been tremendous. I couldn’t be happier with the career path that I’ve taken. My job combines a lot of different tools and skills — it’s a lot more than pushing buttons to fly an airplane. Every day is unique. In the end, though, it’s always a great feeling to come home to White Bear, and especially Bald Eagle Lake, and enjoy my family and friends.

LOOKING BACK Week of March 13 – March 19, 2016 1916 The fire department was called out this afternoon, the alarm being sent from the J. A. Sinks residence. Owing to a similarity of name the department went to the home of J. H. Spink. When the apparatus arrived at the Sinks home nothing was found but a “chimney fire.”…. 1941 Paul Light, in his “So What” column of Wednesday’s Pioneer Press tells of his visit to the Camp Haan, California where the White Bear troops are quartered…. Spring is near and spring means out-ofdoors and camping for the Girl Scouts. It also means that the annual cookie sale is to begin. The girls will take orders for the boxes of cookies to be delivered after April 4th. Each box will contain 40 cookies of the ice box type, and will sell for 25 cents. The troop will get two and one half cents for each box sold, and this amount will be put into the treasury to be used for camp ship purposes…. 1966 In the Wildwood Spelling contests which were held on March 4, Mark Klauer won the Junior Championship (representing contestants from second grade)

and Maren Hendricksson 3 and 4. Sharon Storm was third. In the 5th and 6th grade group, winning first place was Lisa Hendricksson, 2nd place went to Beverly Hall, with Sharon MacKenzie taking third…. 1991 Madelynn Rose Furlong is pleased to announce the arrival of her baby sister, Abigail Iris.

Backyard chickens back on city agenda BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — As promised, an amendment allowing the keeping of chickens on residential property was on the City Council’s March 8 agenda. The ordinance is for hens only; there will be no cock-adoodle-dooing by roosters in city neighborhoods. Proponents of chickens may recall that an ordinance for their keeping failed to pass in 2010. Since then, several metro cities have passed a similar ordinance and have had opportunity to evaluate its impact. That and the growing popularity of cultivating one’s own food helped bring the issue back. A new ordinance has been drafted that is similar to the one six years ago, only this version deleted a requirement to have the license reapproved by council on an annual basis. Rather, staff is proposing that applicants be issued a zoning permit, which does not have renewal requirements, and has a one-time fee of $30. Any issues will be handled through standard enforcement procedures with potential revocation of the permit by the council. Language in the draft ordinance contained the following conditions: • The keeping of hens must be done in a clean and sani-

tary manner that is not a nuisance to or detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the community. • Chicken coops shall be in a rear yard only and 5 feet from all property lines. If a 50-foot setback from adjacent habitable structures cannot be achieved, the property owner may seek written consent of the affected property owner(s) for a lesser amount. • A coop, with or without a run, shall provide a minimum of 2 square feet of floor space per hen. • The number of hens cannot exceed six. • Roosters are prohibited. • Slaughtering is prohibited. • Keeping of chickens is limited to single- and two-family residential properties only. Council members discussed whether to require permission from neighbors, a requirement that the city of Minneapolis abandoned. Councilman Doug Biehn commented that neighbors should not have control over a person’s property as long as the coop wasn’t right next to the property line. Councilman Kevin Edberg felt applicants could go through a variance process if a neighbor objects and Councilman Dan Jones said he would not require a signoff. “I see it (potentially) as a battle between neighbors,” he noted. The Planning Commission will review the ordinance

at its March 28 meeting and a recommendation brought back to council on April 12 for consideration. Meanwhile, City Manager Ellen Richter said staff will prepare a report that summarizes what other cities have adopted and any related issues.

The ordinance would allow six hens per single-family residence.

Bears punch sixth state ticket in eight years BY MARK AGUIRRE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Some teams would have found it too much - too tough - to overcome. Average teams, playing in average programs under average coaches would have packed it in. The White Bear Lake girls’ basketball crew and coaches are far from average. They underscored that fact with a gritty come-from-behind 56-51 victory over East Ridge in the Section 4(4A) title clash last Thursday at Cretin-Derham Hall. It will be the second straight state tourney appearance for Jeremy Post and company, and sixth in their last eight seasons. “We were in foul trouble and in survival mode the whole game,” said Post. “Our two big girls (Kate Brabenec and Jordan Ferrand) didn’t play the last 12:00 of the first half after they both picked up two fouls, and then had to sit again when both picked up their third foul in the first minutes of the second half.” 10 players score in win To the rescue came the Bears’ touted bench, along with senior sharpshooter Alison Hinck. Hinck displayed great resolve and just plain old toughness by shaking off the effects of a bum knee to lead the Bear offense. The 1000-point career scorer led all White Bear players with 17 points, while coming up with a crucial steal in the final minute, followed by a pair of much-needed free throws. “Alison always shows up in games like this when we really need her,” said Post. “She’s a great player in the clutch.” Ferrand joined Hinck in double figures and continued her outstanding play with 10 points. Brabenec finished with nine points and rejected an East Ridge shot late in the game to help White Bear seal the victory. Alex Molin added seven points in the triumph, while East Ridge got 21 points from Noelle Tomes, and 15 from Emma Stoehr. The Bears had a slim 34-33 lead at the intermission, but found themselves down by a half-dozen points with 8:00 to play. “We were trying to (cut into the lead) all at once at first,” said Post. “But once we settled down and tied the game we kind of reset.” They’ll start it up again at the state showdown. The Bears have played three teams in this year’s state field, including suffering a 54-45 defeat at state quarterfinal foe St. Michael/Albertville on Dec. 30. They’ve also lost twice to Lakeville North and once to Eastview. The Class 4A state tournament began on Tuesday (after press time) at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. Top-seeded and ranked Hopkins (272) began the day with a contest against unseeded Park Center (21-7), followed

Third-seeded Minnetonka (24-4) and unseeded Anoka 22-7 rounded out tourney field. The semifinals are set for Thursday and the finals two days later. Both rounds are at Williams Arena at the U of M. “We played St. Michael at its Christmas tournament,” Post said. “We were winning most of the game, but their aggressive play and some garbage basketball helped them come back to beat us. We really want to beat them and get past the opening round.”

Bear girls warm to the challenge; a Royal pair at Bethel It seems that we are going from dropping the puck to rounding the bases in a very early fashion this spring. Whether the early warm weather is a case of climate change, a normal happening in a Extra long cycle, or just pure luck, few are complainPoint ing. Waiting for that basMark ketball tourney snow storm? Aguirre Not this year folks. I think that maybe warm weather is caused from all the hot air that’s been generated by our campaigning politicians. But that’s another story. A sad and shameful tale. Zephyrs in Schwan Cup But before winter melts away we have interesting hockey news from home and down the street. The field for next winter’s Schwan Cup has been finalized. A total of 32 varsity teams will be divided into four divisions - Gold, Silver, Bronze and Open. The Gold Division will play at Ridder Arena on the campus

of the University of Minnesota. Other divisions will play their first two rounds at the Schwan Super Rink at the National Sports Center in Blaine. Championship games for all divisions will be played on New Year’s Eve at Ridder Arena at the U of M. Mahtomedi is set to play in the Silver Division, along with Anoka, Bloomington Jefferson, Breck, Buffalo, Cretin-Derham Hall, Mounds View, and St. Michael/Albertville. The Gold Division is Burnsville, Centennial, Eden Prairie, Edina, Hill-Murray, Minnetonka, St. Thomas Academy, and defending state tournament champion Wayzata. Blake, Bloomington Kennedy, Cambridge, Greenway, Hudson (Wis.), Minneapolis, and Rogers are in the Bronze Division, and Chaska, Chisago Lakes, Mankato East, Marshall, Minnehaha Academy, Princeton, Simley, and Spring Lake Park in the Open Division. The specific game schedule and brackets will be announced in the fall. Hockey Day in Stillwater They’re already working harder than a fore checking forward on a penalty kill at our good neighbor to the east’s territory.

Former teammate Matt Lemay will join Anderson in Royal country in the fall. The hard-nosed Lemay was cited as the Bears’ MVP as well as top defensive player this fall. The Bethel coaching staff will get bigtime effort from Lemay, and hopefully Anderson will continue to grow and help the Royals improve on a 5-5 record.

Stillwater is set to host next winter’s Hockey Day Minnesota. Some of the details were announced last week including the news that the city will construct a rink at Lowell Park in downtown Stillwater. It will be in sight of the lift bridge and the St. Croix River. Our local teams will surely take part in the huge mite tournament of over 100 teams that is planned. This year’s Sticks in Stillwater mite tourney lured 58 teams and more than 600 participants. A game pitting former Minnesota Gophers against ex-Wisconsin Badgers is planned, as well as a game featuring former NHL players.

Bear girls stately The White Bear Lake girls’ basketball crew will have already bumped heads with St. Michael/Albertville in the state Class 4A quarterfinals when this edition of the Press hits the streets, but here’s a belated “congratulations” and “go get ‘em” to the Bears and coaches. No coach gets more out of a team in Jeremy Post, and his team has proven time-and-time again how tough and resilient they are. Ten players scored in their section final win over East Ridge. Post says there are no egos on his bench. “All of our players support each other,” he said. “They are just happy to win and figure if their teammates do well - they will do well.”

A Royal pair White Bear Lake graduate and former Bear all-around star Trey Anderson had an outstanding freshman season at quarterback for Bethel College, finishing with 57 completions in 100 attempts for 854 yards and 10 touchdowns. Anderson, back on the field at his dad’s alma mater after sitting out his entire prep senior season with an injured knee, also rushed the ball 89 times for 307 yards and seven touchdowns. He had four scoring strikes in a 58-21 rout of Carleton College.

Legacy award recipient named White Bear Lake resident Greg Bartz has been selected as the 2016 J. Stanley and Doris Hill Legacy Award recipient. Established by the Century College Foundation, the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation and the White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation, the award honors the memory of Stan and Doris Hill for their remarkable commitment to community service. Bartz is being recognized for his extensive volunteer service to the White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi area and beyond its borders. Bartz grew up in White Bear Lake, graduating from White Bear Lake High School in 1981. He attended Lakewood College and the University of Minnesota. In 1983 he bought the window cleaning service where he had been working.

dren's youth sports teams throughout the years as they were growing up. He helped with youth hockey, soccer, lacrosse and football teams. In 2009, Bartz and his father founded the Zachary NF Research Fund. Money raised goes towards U of M research on Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1), a genetic congenital disorder that predisposes afflicted individuals to tumors of the central nervous system and the peripheral nerves. Zachary Bartz, Greg’s nephew, passed away from cancer brought on by this disease in 2013. The fund has provided almost $300,000 for research through donations and an annual golf tournament that Bartz organizes and hosts. In 2011, the legacy recipient initiated a partnership between the University of Minnesota College of Education and Human Development and Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University and the Siberian Federal University in Kras-

noyarsk, Russia. This involved hosting teams of educators, health professionals, social service workers, etc., from Krasnoyarsk in their visits here. He has visited Krasnoyarsk four times to attend meetings and develop these relationships, also facilitating visits by representatives from the University of Minnesota to their partner universities. This relationship also extends to the White Bear Lake Schools by hosting exchange students from schools in Krasnoyarsk. When interviewed, Bartz stated that his greatest contribution was bringing people together to get good works done. A reception honoring Bartz will take place May 17 at Century College - East Campus in the Library Fireplace Area. The event, open to the public, will begin at 7 p.m. Submitted by the 2016 J. Stanley and Doris Hill Legacy Award Committee

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Confirmation that the Dunn Brothers coffee shop in the White Bear Hills Shopping Center may become a Caribou Coffee/Einstein Brothers Bagels combo came during last week's City Council meeting. A representative for the coffee/bagel chain, Paul Guidera, attended the March 8 meeting to talk about signage at the location. Guidera introduced himself as real estate director for Caribou, which he said, "came together with Einstein about a year ago." The location at 2751 County Road E would be the 20th for the company, which considers signage "critical to capture and educate customers right away," Guidera said. According to city staff, property owner White Bear Investment LLC requested four variances for signage at the small restaurant. Basically, the request is for larger signs on the east and west wall and a 95-square-foot variance from the 80-foot limit for all wall signs put together. The total wall signage would be 172 square feet on three elevations, plus a 36-square-foot menu board. Planner Anne Kane told the council the 218 square feet requested is the amount allowed for a 20,000-square-foot building, not a 3,500-square-foot building like this one. The sign on the south elevation alone, she said, is almost 5 feet in diameter. The Planning Commission recommended eliminating the rear or west sign and reducing the variances to

three. "They were cautious about establishing a precedent," Kane noted. Councilman Dan Jones said he supported the commission's recommendation and suggested "sacrificing" the west elevation. "I sympathize but I will take our council back to the Coldwell Banker Burnet building. We felt one more sign there was not appropriate. It wasn't offensive; it was a fairness thing. We have to play by the rules and treat all businesses fairly. I don't have a problem with what I'm visually seeing, but it's not fair. It exceeds the variance too much.” The council agreed with the Planning Commission and approved two wall signs totaling 132 square feet plus the 36-square-foot menu board. If the company proceeds with the plan, it will take about four weeks to remodel the building. Dunn Brothers has been there since 2004 and, before that, the site was a Burger King. When asked about the Caribou currently across the parking lot in the shopping center, Guidera said it will remain open. "We have six pairs of stores within a third to half mile of each other," he told council. The representative also noted that an Einstein Bagels is planned next to the downtown Caribou on Highway 61 (in the vacant space formerly occupied by Chez Arnaud). That spot had an Einstein before the French bakery. An email to the project's architect, Charles Schatz of Reprise Design, asking for a timeline got this response: "I honestly don't have a timeline and although a sign variance was applied for, that does not mean that the project is a certainty."

CITY OF BIRCHWOOD VILLAGE WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT OF THE INTERIM ORDINANCE 2015-08-03, RESTRICTING RESIDENCY OF SEXUAL OFFENDERS AND SEXUAL PREDATORS (EXPIRES 11/22/2016) AN ORDINANCE ENACTING SECTION 408 OF CITY CODE IN BIRCHWOOD SEXUAL OFFENDERS AND SEXUAL PREDATORS NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that the City Council of the City of Birchwood Village hereby enacts Section 408 of City Code as follows: 408.010: FINDINGS AND INTENT: 408.020: DEFINITIONS: 408.030: RESIDENCE PROHIBITION; PENALTIES; EXCEPTIONS: 408.040: RENTING REAL PROPERTY; PENALTIES: 408.050: SEVERABILITY: 408.010: Findings and Intent A. Repeat sexual offenders, sexual offenders who use physical violence and sexual offenders who prey on children are sexual predators who present an extreme threat to the public safety. Sexual offenders are extremely likely to use physical violence and to repeat their offenses, and most sexual offenders commit many offenses, have many more victims than are ever reported, and are prosecuted for only a fraction of their crimes. This makes the cost of sexual offender victimization to society at large, while incalculable, clearly exorbitant. B. It is the intent of this chapter to serve the city’s compelling interest to promote, protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city by creating areas around locations where children regularly congregate in concentrated numbers wherein certain sexual offenders and sexual predators are prohibited from establishing temporary or permanent residence. 408.020: Definitions The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning: DESIGNATED OFFENDER: Any person who has been convicted of a designated sexual offense, regardless of whether adjudication has been withheld, in which the victim of the offense was less than sixteen (16) years of age, or has been categorized as a level III sex offender under Minnesota statutes section 244.052 or successor statute. DESIGNATED SEXUAL OFFENSE: A conviction, adjudication of delinquency, commitment under Minnesota statutes chapter 253B, or admission of guilt under oath without adjudication involving any of the following offenses: Minnesota statutes sections: 609.342; 609.343; 609.344; 609.345; 609.352; 609.365; 617.23; 617.246; 617.247; 617.293; successor statutes; or a similar offense from another state. PERMANENT RESIDENCE: A place where the person abides, lodges, or resides for fourteen (14) or more consecutive days. TEMPORARY RESIDENCE: A place where the person abides, lodges, or resides for a period of fourteen (14) or more days in the aggregate during any calendar year and which is not the person’s permanent address, or a place where the person routinely abides, lodges, or resides for a period of four (4) or more consecutive or nonconsecutive days in any month and which is not the person’s permanent residence. 408.030: Residence Prohibition; Penalties; Exceptions A. Prohibited Location of Residence: It is unlawful for any designated offender to establish a permanent residence or temporary residence: 1) within one thousand feet (1,000’) of any school, licensed daycare center, park, or playground; or 2) any other public recreational facilities. B. Prohibited Activity: It is unlawful for any designated offender to participate in a holiday event involving children less than eighteen (18) years of age, such as distributing candy or other items to children on Halloween. Holiday events in which the offender is the parent or guardian of the children involved, and no nonfamilial children are present, are exempt from this subsection. C. Measurement of Distance: 1. For purposes of determining the minimum distance separation, the requirement shall be measured by following a straight line from the outer property line of the permanent residence or temporary residence to the nearest outer property line of a school, daycare center, park, playground, or other place where children regularly congregate. 2. The city clerk shall maintain an official map showing prohibited locations as defined by this chapter. The clerk shall update the map at least annually to reflect any changes in the location of prohibited zones. D. Penalties: Any person violating any provision of this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished as provided in section 408.040 of this code. Each day a person maintains a residence in violation of this chapter constitutes a separate violation. E. Exceptions: A designated offender residing within a prohibited area as described in subsection A of this section does not commit a violation of this section if any of the following applies: 1. The person established the permanent residence or temporary residence and reported and registered the residence pursuant to Minnesota statutes sections 243.166, 243.167, or successor statute, prior to adoption and publication of this section. 2. The person was a minor when he/she committed the offense and was not convicted as an adult. 3. The person is a minor. 4. The school or daycare center within one thousand feet (1,000’) of the person’s permanent residence was opened after the person established the permanent residence or temporary residence and reported and registered the residence pursuant to Minnesota statutes section 243.166 or 243.167. 5. The residence is a property owned or leased by the Minnesota department of corrections. 408.040: Renting Real Properties; Penalties A. It is unlawful to let or rent any place, structure, or part thereof, trailer or other conveyance, with the knowledge that it will be used as a permanent residence or temporary residence by any person prohibited from establishing such permanent residence or temporary residence pursuant to this chapter, if such place, structure, or part thereof, trailer or other conveyance, is located within a prohibited location zone described in subsection 408.030 A of this chapter. B. A property owner’s failure to comply with provisions of this section shall constitute a violation of this section. C. If a property owner discovers or is informed that a tenant is a designated offender after signing a lease or otherwise agreeing to let the offender reside on the property, the owner or property manager may evict the offender. 408.050: Severability Should any section, subdivision, clause or other provision of this chapter be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of this chapter as a whole, or of any part thereof, other than the part held to be invalid.

Volunteers clean up parks Above: Mark Albrecht and his son Logan are joined by more volunteers at Bellaire Beach during the annual late winter cleanup Saturday, March 12. Volunteers from 10 different Boy Scout & Cub Scout Units, members of the Minnesota Geocaching Association, students associated with the “H2O for Life” group, and other members of the community picked up over 900 pounds of trash from the parks surrounding White Bear Lake. The cleanup effort shifted from the lake to parks this year because of the rapidly melting surface, at right, of White Bear Lake. The Keep Zimmer VFW Post of White Bear Lake provided lunch for the volunteers.

BUSINESS BRIEFS

KRIS OSTERKAMP | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

As new owner of the Avalon Tearoom, David Miller has beefed up the menu and remodeled the interior. He wants the casual bistro feel to “seem more accessible to a broader audience.”

Tea room under new ownership The new owner of Avalon Tearoom & Pastry Shoppe describes its remodeled look as “more casual with a bistro feel.” Originally from Fridley, David Miller reopened the restaurant in Avalon Mall on Fourth Street Feb. 1. “People are surprised it’s under new ownership,” he said. Some things haven’t changed, like a formal tea offering Friday through Sunday, with reservations. But he has expanded the menu of from-scratch quiches, scones, cookies and sandwiches to bread made in-house, salads and wraps and a larger variety of desserts. And of course, there is the tea. He offers 75 varieties, some of which Miller is incorporating into his dessert recipes. “I’m experimenting with the flavors; like a chocolate custard infused with Earl Gray. We’re trying to pair teas with food,” he said.

SUBMITTED

Manager Mike Henry puts ﬁnishing touches on the storefront window. The co-owners also plan to mount a large bear on the wall in keeping with the namesake city.

After getting a degree in food science, Miller worked in R&D at General Mills for two years, went back to culinary school to get a baking and pastry degree, then moved to Chicago for five years to work in restaurants there. He moved back to the Twin Cities in December and now makes White Bear Lake his home. Miller said he saw a “for sale” listing for the tearoom and it “seemed like a cool opportunity.” The location inside the mall is challenging, the new business owner added. “We don’t have doors on the street to bring people in, so we have to come up with ways to make it inviting.” He is also trying to bring the building’s history as a cinema back in the way of decor and artwork from the ’20s and ’30s.

Menswear coming to downtown A new men’s clothing store is coming to downtown White Bear Lake. Called John Henry, the venture is co-owned by Michele Henry, her brother Mike Henry and local plumber John Vadnais. Vadnais assures he is not giving up his primary occupation, but will be more of a silent business partner. Michele is a co-owner of the seven Primp stores in the metro area, including the one at Fourth Street and Banning Avenue. John Henry will be next door at 4764 Banning Ave. and carry functional casual wear that requires no dry cleaning. “We’ll be using some of Primp’s buying strategies,” said Vadnais, who is dating Michele Henry. Yes, they combined their two names for the store title and added Join

a tag line: “clothes that make the man.” They plan to open April 1. Mike Henry will manage the store. He also brings retail experience to the mix from working for his father, also Mike Henry, owner of Paragon Pools. Both brother and sister are Mahtomedi High School grads. Vadnais said Henry was a starting fullback for the U of M Gophers. Vadnais is a White Bear Lake grad who played Division I hockey for Bemidji State. He works for Vadnais Plumbing in White Bear Lake.

Financial Management 10 Ways To Be Better With Money 1. Think before you spend. When you’re faced with a spending decision, especially a large purchase decision, don’t just assume you can afford something. Confirm that you can actually afford it and that you haven’t already committed those funds to another expense. That means using your budget and the balance in your checking and savings accounts to decide whether you can afford a purchase. Remember that just because the money is there doesn’t mean you can make the buy. You have to also consider the bills and expenses you’ll have to pay before your next payday. 2. Have a budget. Many people don’t budget because they don’t want to go through what they think will be a boring process of listing out expenses, adding up numbers, and making sure everything lines up. But if you’re bad with money, you really don’t have room for excuses with budgeting. If all it takes to get your spending on track is a few hours working a budget each month, why wouldn’t you do it? 3. Actually use the budget. Your budget is useless if you make it then let it collect dust in a folder tucked away in your bookshelf or file cabinet. Refer to it often throughout the month to help guide your spending decisions. Update it as you pay bills and spend on other monthly expenses. At any given time during the month, you should have an idea of how much money you’re able to spend, considering any expenses you have left to pay. 4. Give yourself a limit for unbudgeted spending. A critical part of your budget is the net income or the amount of money left after you subtract your expenses from your income. If you have any money left over, you can use it for fun and entertainment, but only up to a certain amount. You can’t go crazy with this money, especially if it’s not a lot or it has to last the entire month. Before you make any big purchases, make sure it won’t interfere with anything else you have planned. 5. Track your spending. Small purchases here and there add up quickly and before you know it, you’ve overspent your budget. Start tracking your spending to discover places where you may be unknowingly overspending. Save your receipts and write your purchases in a spending journal, categorizing them so you can identify areas where you have a hard time keeping your spending in check. 6. Don’t commit to any new recurring monthly bills until you’ve confirmed you can afford it. Just because your income and credit qualify you for a certain loan, doesn’t mean you should take it. Many people naively think the bank wouldn’t approve them for a credit card or loan they can’t afford. The bank only knows your income, as you’ve reported, and the debt obligations included on your credit report, not any other obligations that could prevent you from making your payments on time. It’s up to you to decide whether a monthly payment is actually affordable based on your income and other monthly obligations. 7. Make sure you’re paying the best prices. You can make the most of your money comparison shopping, ensuring that you’re paying the lowest prices for products and services. Look for discounts, coupons, and cheaper alternatives whenever you can. 8. Save up for big purchases. The ability to delay gratification will go along way in helping you be better with money. When you put off large purchases, rather than sacrificing more important essentials or putting the purchase on a credit card, you give yourself time to evaluate whether the purchase is necessary and even more time to compare prices. By saving up rather than using credit, you avoid paying interest on the purchase. 9. Limit your credit card purchases. Credit cards are a bad spenders worst enemy. When you run out of cash, you simply turn to your credit cards without considering whether you can afford to pay the balance. Resist the urge to use your credit cards for purchases you can’t afford, especially on items you don’t really need. 10. Contribute to savings regularly. Depositing money into a savings account each month can help you build healthy financial habits. You can even set it up so the money is automatically transferred from your checking account to your savings account. That way, you don’t have to remember to make the transfer.
