Municipalities appealing court-ordered changes to water permits 1 by 1 BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The city is intent on keeping lawns green. Like the township before it, White Bear Lake is contesting recent changes to its water appropriations permit imposed by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). City Council authorized an appeal March 13 objecting to the amendments, which include a ban on res-

idential irrigation, under a state statute that allows such DNR actions to be heard by an administrative law judge. The amendments, the result of a court order issued Aug. 30, include an enforceable phasedown of per capita residential water use to 75 gallons per day; a requirement to submit a revised water supply plan by Aug. 29 that includes a full or partial conversion from groundwater to surface water, and a ban on residential irrigation if the level of White Bear Lake falls below 923.5 feet. The ban would be lifted if the

lake reaches 924 feet. The city is required to enact and enforce the irrigation ban. “It is the opinion of staff and legal counsel that the amendments are arbitrary and capricious and not supported by substantial evidence,” City Manager Ellen Richter told council. In a letter to the DNR’s district appropriations hydrologist and Commissioner Tom Landwehr, Mayor Jo Emerson wrote that the city demands a hearing SEE PERMIT APPEAL, PAGE 9A

Old section of city next on street reconstruction list BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — As the seven-year push continues to improve every city street, this year's nominees for reconstruction brought a roomful of residents to City Hall. The city is 90 percent of the way through its quest to have all pavement up to engineering standards, noted Public Works Director Mark Burch. As streets are improved, so are the water and sewer pipes, and gas lines beneath them. This year's summer project, which includes streets in the north and oldest section of the city, will cost an estimated $3.4 million. The city will fund $2.1 million and property owners the balance, or $810,000. “We are replacing utilities that date to the 1920s,” Burch told council. “They're the oldest in the city.” Streets east of Hwy. 61 and north of Seventh to 11th are on the list. Curb and gutter is planned. Trails and sidewalks are also part of the project. The Sather Trail

segment from Lions Park along Old White Bear Avenue to South Shore Boulevard is a long-anticipated amenity. “This is the next leg of the aroundthe-lake trail,” Burch noted. It will be the same width as the current trail. A trail on the lake side of Birch Lake Boulevard S. is also planned and a trail along White Bear Parkway will be redone in 2018. Two sidewalks, one on the south side of 11th Street to West Park and one on the south side of Ninth Street to Stewart are part of the project, but are now on hold. Residents on those streets, some pro, some con, convinced the council to table a decision on sidewalks until the April 10 meeting. Johnson Avenue homeowner Eric Lindberg felt a sidewalk would take away the quaintness of the neighborhood and should be reviewed. “Piggybacking on the sidewalk issue,” Ninth Street homeowner Kim Koeppen said walkable neighborhoods do not have sidewalks. In favor of sidewalks was Chris

Hughes, a Stewart Avenue resident who argued that neighborhood roads weren't safe. He walks and runs a lot, Hughes said, and believes sidewalks are for the greater city good. “They're used by everyone, just like streets.” Longtime 11th Street resident Elizabeth Kasper said few people use her street and questioned the need for a sidewalk. She prefers a sidewalk on Stewart to Hwy. 61. “I want to walk to the White Bear Center for the Arts or the new Lakeshore Players. And why is the gate locked on 12th Street?” she wondered. Alleys were another issue. Residents whose property bordered an alley they didn't use objected to being assessed for the frontage. One was Doug Bartholomew, an architect who owns a corner lot on Eighth Street. His house touches an alley but faces Eighth. “I derive no benefit from the alley,” he told council, adding he doesn't want to hire an attorney to prove it. “I think there is another way to calculate the assessment so it's equitable.” Burch admitted the alley assess-

ment is “new to us. We spent a lot of time with the appraiser looking at this. It's a tricky business. The benefit to property is for current or future use.” Sandra Samuelson, who plans to buy her parents' house on Johnson Avenue, agreed with Bartholomew. “Why do people pay the same amount as people who use the entire alley?” she asked. Like the sidewalks, alleys will be addressed by council at a future meeting. Council will consider adoption of the assessment rolls Sept. 25 at a special hearing. Residents affected by the improvements can expect the rolls to remain unchanged, Burch said. Residents who feel an error has been made should notify the engineering department. Acting Chairperson Edberg thanked the group “for the civility of the conversation. It was good input.” A resolution ordering improvements, approving plans and authorizing advertisement for bids was approved.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council conducted the following business at its March 13 meeting: • Approved resolution ordering improvements, approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for the 2018 Street Reconstruction Project (see separate story). This was the fi rst item on the agenda for consideration and the fi rst time the acting chairman had voted on a resolution. Both Mayor Jo Emerson and Councilman Doug Biehn had excused absences, so Councilman Kevin Edberg, appointed acting chairman, took the mayor's place. Councilman Dan Jones noted the historic vote, the fi rst since a change to city charter allowed the acting chairperson to vote. Timing was good, added Edberg, since four votes were required to pass the resolution. • Approved the 2018 mill and overlay project, estimated to cost $485,000. Impacted property owners on Sumac Circle, Sumac Ridge, Manitou Drive and Manitou Lane will be assessed $127,000. • Failed to pass a motion striking comments from the record on advertisement for bids for the mill and overlay project. A man who would only identify himself as Jim “because of who he works for” addressed the council about the bidding process. Councilman Jones objected to the man's refusal to give his last name and address, which is requested during a public hearing, and wanted his comments removed from the minutes. “Either we do it as a policy or we don't,” Jones said. “The guy was cavalier and it's not right. It ticks me off.” The motion failed 2-2 with Edberg and Steve Engstran against; Jones and Bill Walsh in favor. • Authorized sale of bonds in amount of $4.5 million for 2018 street improvement projects. Councilman Walsh noted that bonding is new for the city. “This is a big deal,” he said. “It's a new era. We will be borrowing money for 20 years to pay for these projects.” • Authorized a grant application for Old White Bear Avenue Trail. Councilman Jones called the extension of the Sather Trail from Lions Park to South Shore Boulevard “a key link between north and south White Bear. This is the bridge, and it's awesome to see it get connected,” he said. The city authorized a grant agreement administered by the Met Council for $130,000 and will fund another $80,000 to construct the trail. • Authorized the mayor to send a letter to White

Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) on behalf of council. The city is concerned about excessive funds held in reserve by the WBLCD. The city's appointed board member, Mike Parenteau, told council he suggested the budget be reduced by 10 percent but it was not supported. He added that he agrees assessments to the five cities surrounding the lake need to be reduced. “I'm with you on this,” Parenteau said, “but I don't have support of other board members.” Edberg reminded Parenteau the lake district could go a year without an apportionment. “We levy funds for your allotment,” he noted. The city is asking the board to reconsider its request for additional funds for 2018 and instead draw down reserves for operations. • Approved impound agreement with St. Paul Animal Control. Lost pets will no longer go to

Hillcrest Animal Hospital, but will go to St. Paul (see separate story on page 10A). • Approved annual business and liquor license renewals. No establishment failed compliance checks by White Bear Police. • Approved a planned unit development amendment for Northern Tool & Equipment. The White Bear Avenue business plans to increase exterior display of merchandise from six stalls to 15 parking stalls. • Granted seven variances to St. Pius X Catholic Church for parking lot reconstruction. • Heard a report by City Engineer Mark Burch that interior demolition has started at the White Bear Sports Center. “The timing is just right,” he said. “The refrigeration system is on its last legs.” Reconstruction starts in earnest April 2.

School shootings GUNS DON’T KILL people. People kill people.” You have heard that over and over. Then another school shooting in Parkland, Florida, on Valentine’s Day took 17 lives. Tragic! And unnecessary and perhaps controllable. The killer made his plans public. Our law enforcement was not plugged in with adequate communication or judgement. Security people at Parkland, Florida, remained outside the school building when the shooting took place. Frightened or inadequately prepared or oblivious to the situation. After all, law enforcement gets About the hundreds of leads and warnings every day. This murderer had a troubled Town past, but the record didn’t eliminate from buying an assault rifle and Gene Johnson him ammunition. I grew up with guns for hunting. Our children did, too. They also took gun safety lessons. We treat guns with respect and proper handling. I also had rifle and machine gun training in the National Guard. Guns are used in war time for killing. AK-47s or AR-15s semi-automatics can deliver heavy fire power. I don’t see them used for hunting or in the hands of people who lack responsibility and where behavior problems are on record. The bump stock for rapid fire is totally unnecessary and should be banned. Thorough background checks will help, but not totally eliminate the problem. Moving the age for purchasing AK-47s or AR-15s is unnecessary. It only discriminates by age and violates the constitution. Mental illness has played a big part in the behavior of school shooters. The “Safe School Initiative” report in 2016 by the CDC (Center for Disease Control) focused on behaviors of school shooters leading up to the attack. They include: 98 percent of the attackers experienced or perceived a major loss prior to the attack; 78 percent of attackers had a history of suicide attempts or suicidal thoughts prior to their attack; 71 percent of attackers felt persecuted, bullied, threatened, attacked, or injured by others prior to the incidents (in several cases that harassment was described as “long-standing and severe”). Many schools have improved safety and emergency lockdown procedures. Some gun-free schools are staffing armed security people. Metal detectors are also being used to eliminate weapons from entering buildings. Homes and parents are for teaching responsibility and moral behavior. Don’t just blame the schools and society for the problem. The number of homes where parents lack discipline and youth with greater emotional distress are on the rise. Hollywood knows that violence sells. So do the digital game makers. If you feed the mind with violence, it becomes a norm in life. Congress will debate the gun laws again. The National Rifle Association will make their case. Our founding fathers were very concerned for our freedoms, thus the Second Amendment which reads: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Let’s look at the root causes of these senseless shootings and begin the necessary correction. Remember, laws are for law abiding people. I hope we don’t have to arm and train teachers with weapons. Our public schools need protection for the major role they play in society. Curriculums need updates on behavior and conflict resolution. Troubled students need immediate help from professional counselors. Families need to get back to the basics of the Scriptures, listen to their children, be proactive for their children and work together with schools and law enforcement to help solve the problems the children face. Teaching the Golden Rule of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” can go a long way in helping solve some of these problems.

Take what you can use

I

f I had to be honest, I would begrudgingly admit that my favorite days are Tuesday and Thursday mornings when I have the luxury of working alone at the White Bear Lake Area Emergency Food Shelf. During these times, the market is serene, yet quietly bursting with anticipation of what is to come — the arrival of valued volunteers with hearts Movers and to serve, dozens of families to shop the market, trucks Shakers full of fresh and Andrea healthy food for our neighbors, Kish-Bailey and a team of stellar staff to make it all happen. On one particular Thursday morning, I decided to unlock the doors early and do a little work at the front desk. Without warning, a beautiful woman about 70 years or so, walked in and promptly asked “What are the requirements to using this food shelf?” Caught by surprise, I blurted out “you just need to live within the White Bear Area School District!” I paused. She patiently waited for me to continue. After

“What are the requirements to using this food shelf?” an awkward silence, she asked, “Is that it?” “Yep!” I said quickly and perhaps too energetically, “and a self-identified need for food.” “Well, I definitely have that,” she sighed. As we don’t open until 11 a.m. on Thursdays, the food shelf was dark and empty with just me sitting at the front desk. “Well, how does this whole thing work?” she asked. I explained how she’d need to make an appointment but offered her food in the form of an emergency bag if she needed it immediately. As we walked together into the market, I handed her the written shopping list for her family of one and pointed out many of the sections. I showed her a picture of what the market looks like when it is all set up and told her, “all the fresh produce is take what you can use. So much of what we provide,” I encouraged, “is take what you can use.” “That’s wonderful!” she exclaimed. Her face brighter than when she first arrived. Together we made our way back to the front

desk and scheduled a shopping appointment for the next morning. I explained that when she arrived, an intake volunteer would meet with her, talk about the process, and help identify other resources within our community that might be of help to her. I fi lled out a reminder slip and handed it to her. She smiled. “Thank you,” she said, her smile reaching her eyes. “I’m so glad I stopped in!” This experience didn’t seem like much to me. It’s our regular protocol at the food shelf, but I know it meant the world to her. It’s not always easy to ask for help and I wonder, how many times had she driven by the food shelf working up the nerve to come in? In 2017, through our mobile markets, bonus program, and monthly shopping, we saw an increase in senior visits by 60 percent over last year. As more and more seniors are living on a fixed income, many are finding it difficult to put healthy food on the table. Andrea Kish-Bailey is executive director of the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf. To learn more visit www.whitebearfoodshelf, or call (651) 407-5372. Tours are held on the 4th Tuesday of every month from 9-10 a.m.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Don’t D ’ forget f a poop bag b

I am a Mahtomedi resident who uses the trail system often to walk my dog. My pockets are always supplied with bags so that the normal waste a dog creates can be picked up and disposed of in the convenient waste cans along our route. I am writing because so many dog owners are not doing the same. Dog waste is a nuisance, carries disease, and spoils the enjoyment of the trail system for both dog owners and other trail users. People who accept the responsibility of owning a pet for their pleasure also take on a responsibility to others to pick up after them. I know it is possible to forget a bag occasionally, and perhaps a way can be found to have a periodic bag holder along the trail at some point. Until then, please obtain a bag and backtrack as I have done. Lesley Keenan Mahtomedi

Ask professionals for development advice

In last week’s Vadnais Press there was yet another story about what to do with the old Garceau building site (“Garceau building ideas flow: coffee shop, makerspace, bingo”). Council members “brainstormed” about it being a coffee shop or bingo hall ... Not too long ago the city turned down an amazing proposal to have a private developer build an upscale apartment complex at the site that would have rents between $1,200 to $1,600 a month. They turned down the proposal without doing their due diligence; not even a meeting was held. They turned down $800,000 in cleanup grants: those grants have now gone to some other city. They turned down the

developer’s d l ’ offer ff off $500,000, $500 000 so in i reality we lost $1.3 million dollars. If you then subtract what the city originally spent to buy the site for $800,000, the city would have a new upscale apartment building generating new property tax revenue and $500,000 added back into the city’s general fund. A coffee shop or bingo hall run by a nonprofit will not generate much property tax revenue, if any at all. The council would be wise to let our city professionals propose to them what is the highest and best use for the site and then support our city staff in the development of the site. Not one of them has any real experience in developing a site like this, and it shows. Joe Murphy Vadnais Heights

Unexcused absence proper response to walkout

In response to George Kimball’s letter (March 7) on being alarmed that “unexcused absence” would be placed on record, I disagree. That is a proper and even a mild response. He thinks educators strive to fi nd ways to create real-life learning experiences, and this provided an opportunity. Teach the students of the process to be excused to express their voice on issues. The real-life result of them walking off a job to protest would result in their not getting paid for that day or even fi red by their employer. That is a real-life result. Tom Kimlinger White Bear Lake

800-pound 800 d gorilla ill iin room

The proverbial 800-pound gorilla was missed in Sara Moore’s article (“Home cleanup project cleared by pollution control,” March 14) about the home cleanup project. I offer the following: 1. Commercial operation: The homeowner is associated with a commercial hydro vac operation and discharged contents of over 400 trucks in his “pond,” as stated in his grading permit. In Grant, this would require a conditional use permit. 2. Cease-and-desist order: This was issued until the proper MPCA permit was issued, and he did not have it restored on Oct. 31 as required by the permit. There is a police report documenting that this was violated. 3. Restoration order: This was issued on Dec. 4 and was not fully completed within the allotted time frame. 4. Six trucks were brought in from 3M at 8:30 on a Saturday night. 5. $3,500 fi ne was levied against the homeowner by the MPCA. 6. I would estimate 4,000 yards was discharged with unknown origin. 7. City Council majority has refused to put hydro vac dumping on the agenda when it was requested for three months in a row and accompanied by an amendment to 32.245 ordinance on waste disposal.

DEATH NOTICE

Patrick V. Norton Patrick V. Norton, 58, of Moundsview, formerly of White Bear Township, died unexpectedly in a Wisconsin snowmobile accident March 8.

about b t the th magnitude it d and d growth th off this modern-day slavery and related exploitation occurring in our communities. Most people don’t realize that this is happening in every suburb of the Twin Cities and in every county across Minnesota. Exploitation is preying on our teenage daughters and sons in both strained and healthy families. Teenage girls and boys are targeted by “model agency reps” or “a girl/boy who thinks they’re cute” who’ve befriended them online, inducing them to send increasingly explicit pictures of themselves. We need to protect young people from internet predators who have developed cunning strategies for convincing teens to meet with them or send pictures. Once these pictures are sent, blackmailing and exploitation soon follows, fueled by the victim’s shame. Perpetrators can be very sophisticated; teens, parents, and adults who work with teens must be educated to recognize these schemes. We need to teach men that a significant percentage of women they see on porn sites are indeed enslaved in trafficking. We should challenge the notion that women are sexual objects to be conquered and that men are unable to control their appetites. There is a conference coming up on April 20-22, 2018 that will provide specific information on the reality of sex trafficking in our state and what we can do about it. Freedom Weekend, sponsored by Trafficking Justice (of which I am an associate), is a collection of six different events at multiple locations in the Twin Cities. All events are free.

Deputy justifi ed in fatal shooting in Vadnais Heights RV BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — A Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputy involved in an officer-involved fatal shooting last April was justifi ed in his use of force, according to a decision by the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office, announced March 15. The attorney’s office determined criminal charges were not warranted after reviewing investigation findings from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA). The BCA investigates nearly all officer-involved shooting incidents that occur in Minnesota and then turns its findings over

to county attorney offices for determination. Darren Robert Jahnke, 47, died last year after an incident in an RV near Highway 61 and I-694 April 13. Deputy Andre Rongitsch and another deputy were on routine patrol when they located the suspicious RV and a car near 3250 Fanum Road about 9:30 p.m. Two other deputies also arrived at the scene before a struggle with Jahnke ensued. Before Jahnke was shot, two deputies had used stun guns during the struggle with Jahnke, according to the BCA. When Jahnke disarmed one of the deputies, Rongitsch fired. Investigators reviewed squad video captured at the scene. Deputies were not wearing body cameras.

“Deputy Lisa Daly was fighting for her life after she was tackled to the ground by Darren Jahnke,” stated Ramsey County Attorney John Choi in a memo. “Physical evidence including visible injuries to Deputy Daly’s body, a damaged and separated holster, and DNA evidence found on the gun all corroborate the statements given by eyewitness statements.” RCAO concluded that the use of force was legally justified under Minnesota law. Under Minnesota law, a police officer can use deadly force if their or another’s safety is threatened. “Based upon his training and the situation at hand, Deputy Andre Rongitsch had no other course of action other than to fi re his weapon, which he

did as a last resort to stop the immediate threat that was posed to Deputy Daly,” Choi stated. “No officer wants to be in the situation that confronted Deputy Rongitsch where the use of deadly force is necessary.” Deputies gave Jahnke first aid and requested an ambulance, but he died at Regions Hospital the day of the incident. “I am saddened about the trauma that likely still endures for all of the deputies who were put in this dangerous situation and for the surviving family members of Darren Jahnke,” Choi noted. Deputy Rongitsch has been a deputy with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office for 12 years.

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

Grant • A 23-year-old Baldwin, Wisconsin, man was arrested March 8 on Manning Avenue N. and 110th Street N. on a Chisago County warrant, several Wisconsin warrants and for driving after revocation after being pulled over for driving a suspected stolen vehicle. The motorist said he had bought the vehicle the day before and was using his girlfriend’s license plate. The subject originally gave Washington County Sheriff’s deputies a false name, but when he fi nally revealed his correct name, deputies looked him up on their computer. There they found out his suspended driving status due to two prior convictions for failure to provide proof of insurance. The subject also did not know the address that was on his driver’s license or anything about his latest citation. • A male, 33, with no recent address other than the Washington County jail was arrested all over again March 8 for violating a no-contact order when he phoned the complainant from the jail lobby to try and reach the complainant’s daughter.

Mahtomedi • A Mahtomedi man, 31, was arrested at 3:59 a.m. March 6 on White Bear Lake near the Park Avenue parking area for driving after revocation and failure to provide proof of insurance after he had arrived to help his friend, who had a flat tire on the lake. Deputies had already been on the scene, responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle on the lake. When they first approached the suspicious vehicle, it suddenly started and the driver told deputies help was on the way. Deputies ran a computer check on the newly arrived good Samaritan, who showed up driving his girlfriend’s car, and found out he should not have been driving due to two prior convictions for failure to provide proof of insurance. Fortunately for the motorist with the flat tire, yet another vehicle arrived to help him as his first lifeline was transported.

• A Mahtomedi man, 19, was cited at 1:43 a.m. March 7 in the 3300 block of northbound Century Avenue N. for driving after revocation after being pulled over for no headlights. The motorist told deputies that the minivan he was driving belonged to his girlfriend. This disclosure left deputies unimpressed, as they also issued the motorist a verbal warning for driving without a headlight and failure to carry a valid driver’s license in the vehicle. • A Robbinsdale man, 29, was cited at 12:45 a.m. March 9 on Long Lake Road and Century Avenue N. for tabs that expired in August. The motorist told deputies he was aware about the tabs, that he had renewed them online, and was waiting for a confi rmation email which never came. • A patron of the Freedom Valu Center in the 1000 block of Wildwood Road on March 9 reported his wallet stolen from the gas station and a debit card used at both Freedom stations in Mahtomedi to the tune of $21.50. The card was also used for a $126 purchase at Party City and two denied attempts at Best Buy. • A Vadnais Heights man, 37, was cited March 9 on Century Avenue and I-694 for driving after revocation and failure to provide proof of insurance after being pulled over for a missing headlight. The motorist told deputies that he was driving a new vehicle. • A resident of a multiple-unit dwelling in the 800 block of Stillwater Road on March 9 reported her security guard for harassing her and her children’s father whenever he came to pick up one of their children. The security guard allegedly swore at the dad and ordered him to put his hands up. The security guard told deputies the dad’s car was parked where it should not have been and that the dad had urinated on the playground. The dad’s answer to deputies was that he had used the outside facilities. • A Minneapolis man, 32, was cited at 2:40 a.m. March 10 on Century Avenue N. and Long Lake Road for driving after suspension after he was pulled over for a nonworking brake light by deputies patrolling behind him. A computer check showed the subject’s suspended status. • A resident in the 600 block of Gosiwin Avenue at 10:54

p.m. March 10 reported the driver of a black Trailblazer, who gave him a lift to his residence, for intoxicated driving after the driver told the complainant he was headed off to get cocaine.

Pine Springs • A St. Paul woman, 30, was cited at 10:07 p.m. March 6 on Hilton Trail N. and 62nd Street N. for driving after revocation and failure to provide proof of insurance after being pulled over for no license plate light by deputies on stationary patrol. Deputies also observed her drifting onto the centerline divider, which also made her an eligible candidate for being pulled over. • A Grant man, 62, was arrested at 12:23 a.m. March 10 on 60th Street and DeMontreville Trail N. for DWI after deputies on rolling patrol at Highway 36 and Hilton Trail observed him repeating the cycle of failing to maintain his lane and then overcorrecting. The subject admitted to drinking vodka and failed the fi eld sobriety test with a .11 reading.

Willernie • A Willernie man was arrested March 5 in the 300 block of Stillwater Road for domestic assault and making terroristic threats after his wife’s children told deputies that after the couple had had several drinks at Frigaard’s, the subject became aggressive and threatened to kill her and her children. Although the subject denied all of these actions, he was transported to jail while his wife’s son stayed to look after her. • A suspicious white sedan reported to be slowly following the complainant and looking at her out his rolled down window at 11:14 p.m. March 10 on Paddington Way and Faversham Road turned out to be a resident of Faversham Road. • A West Lakeland man, 18, was cited at 12:22 a.m. March 11 on Stillwater Road and Wildwood Road for failure to stop at a stop sign after deputies on stationary patrol observed him blow through the sign at full speed with pedestrians in the area. The apologetic motorist told deputies he was unfamiliar with the area.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS White Bear police report 2017 DWIs

The White Bear Lake Police Department reported officers made 194 DWI arrests in 2017, a 7 percent increase over 2016. The majority of the arrests, 171, happened between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. The youngest person arrested was 17 and the oldest, 77.

920 Text-to-911 texts received

Since Minnesota implemented a Textto-911 program in December, 920 texts have been received, reported the Department of Public Safety Emergency Communication Networks. Text-to-911 is a direct line to dispatchers for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. It also serves as an alternative for people who must remain quiet during an emergency to stay safe. Dispatch centers across the state have received an average of about 300 texts per month.

Police chase ends in White Bear Lake

The Washington County Sheriff’s Offi ce attempted to arrest a Stillwater man, 19, on a felony warrant when he was in the Washington County Government Center March 15. The man resisted and used

force to flee the building. He then fled law enforcement in his vehicle and led law enforcement on a 30-mile pursuit. The chase came to an end near I-35E and County Road J in White Bear Lake when the driver’s front tire failed and stop sticks were used to bring the vehicle safely to a stop on the shoulder. Howard Peter Johnson was arrested and transported to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office jail to be held on the Ramsey County felony warrant and additional charges pending further investigation.

Woman sent to prison for selling drugs

A White Bear Lake woman was sentenced to prison last month for almost 9 years for first-degree sale of 17 grams or more of cocaine or meth within a 90-day period, according to court documents. Christina Vanda Garza, 39, was convicted for six drug-related charges in January, when she was caught selling drugs in Moose Lake last summer. The judge did not pronounce a sentence for the five other charges. She was found guilty of two fi rst-degree drug sale charges, two first-degree drug possession charges, one

fifth-degree drug possession charge and one charge for introducing drugs into a jail.

18 charged for sex trafficking in Washington County during Super Bowl

Sex traffi cking-related charges have been brought against 18 individuals caught in a sex trafficking operation during Super Bowl week. The charges were filed in Washington County, reported Washington County Attorney Pete Orput, Sheriff Dan Starry, Oakdale Chief Bill Sullivan and Woodbury Police Chief Lee Vague. The 18 individuals all were charged for solicitation of a juvenile for sex in the city of Woodbury. The individuals were charged as part of multi-agency collaboration, including the East Metro Sex Trafficking Task Force, and led by the Minneapolis Police Department. The East Metro Sex Trafficking Task Force consists of detectives from the Oakdale Police Department, Woodbury Public Safety, Washington County Sheriff’s Office, along with an attorney and an analyst from the Washington County Attorney’s Offi ce.

“We are committed to working in collaboration with our local law enforcement and federal partners in stemming the tide of sex trafficking in our communities,” Starry said. “We will do this by vigorously investigating individuals that exploit juveniles and adults in the illegal sex trade industry in Washington County and the State of Minnesota. The commercial sex trade industry is not a victimless crime.” Also during Super Bowl Week, the East Metro Sex Trafficking Task Force in collaboration with the Minneapolis Police Department recovered several victims of the commercial sex trade. Individuals charged include Abdirahman Abdullahi Awil, Jeffrey Steve Lema-Chicaiz, Koushik Mamidala, Prince Albert Prowd, Scott Thomas Gola-Udseth, Guy Henry Anderson, Pah Ta Kee, Mitchell Harold King, Robert Aaron McClung, Sadiq Hussain, Andrew Henry Burfeind, Saul Alvarez Ramirez, Martin Roy, Froylan Mendez Escamilla, Taylor Gordan Diaz, Santiago Cabrera Cabrera, Richard Mark Bottolfson and Dwayne Gordan Johnson.

Vadnais Heights • Two suspects, a 34-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman, attempted to leave Target in the 900 block of County Road E the afternoon of March 7 with $1,440 worth of goods they had not paid for and were arrested in the parking lot. Recovered goods included jewelry, watches, an ankle bracelet, a baby sleeper and a pair of pricey Beats headphones. The woman, who had been down this road before, had a record of past arrests for thefts of $900, $1,400 and $1,100 by Target security. Both suspects were booked into the Ramsey County Jail and face felony theft charges. • A woman was collared the afternoon of March 7 at Target for stealing beef jerky. The chewy snack was valued at $40. The thief was cited and released. • A pair of coyotes attacked a dog in the early morning hours of March 8 in the yard of a home in the 700 block of Pennington Place. Residents are reminded that coyotes prefer to not work alone and favor picking on animals less than their own size. The dog, description not provided, was not seriously injured. • Deputies noted a vehicle parked at a gas pump in the 3500 block of Rice Street at 3:45 a.m. March 10 with the driver asleep at the wheel. Awakened, the 39-year-old woman out of Carver, Minnesota did not do well on the field sobriety tests. She was charged with third-degree DWI due to her history of alcohol-related driving offenses and booked into jail. • On patrol in the early morning hours of March 10, deputies came upon a three-wheeled Nissan Maximus at Hwy. 96 and Centerville Road. The fourth wheel was in the intersection. The vehicle was towed and the woman, who had no ID and said she was 44 and from Coon Rapids, was booked into jail until her identity could be verified. She was charged with driving after license suspension, no proof of insurance and no driver’s license in possession. • Patrons at the Old Clover Inn on County Road F shook their heads and ordered another round March 11 after the bartender, hearing noises at the eastside door, opened it to find an “aggressive muskrat.” The underage rodent was denied entry. • A speeding vehicle with a burned-out headlight and no rear license plate was pulled over the night of March 11 at Evergreen and Greenbrier drives. As if deputies needed more, the vehicle was also listed as stolen out of St. Paul.

The 24-year-old White Bear Township resident, who was identified by witnesses, has a record of previous damage to property incidents and was booked into jail. • A vehicle was stopped just after midnight March 13 in the 1000 block of County Road E when the driver failed to lower her headlights. The driver, an 18-year-old female out of Forest Lake, was charged with fourth-degree DWI, possession of a half-bottle of E&J brandy, a grinder, a one-hitter, and several driver’s licenses belonging to White Bear Lake high school students, which were found in the vehicle’s center console. The teen was booked into jail on the DWI charge. • A young family was off to Walmart on a shopping trip the afternoon of March 13, as young families are often wont to do, but this trip turned ugly. The 18-year-old male driver slapped and punched his girlfriend in the face while she was holding their 2-month-old child, then took her phone from her purse as she tried to fight him off. Now in possession of the baby, the man told concerned passersby to “stay out of it” and drove off as Mom headed into the store for help. He returned with his Mom and the baby, whereupon deputies arrested him in the parking lot on a charge of gross-misdemeanor call interference and booked him into jail. A gross-misdemeanor charge of domestic assault is pending.

White Bear Township • Two juveniles who were arguing the morning of March 7 over gym time at the Bellaire Education Center were transported to the county juvenile detention center after the argument turned serious. No other information on the matter was released, as required by the state’s Data Practices Act. • A raccoon — not in the the best of health, according to callers — was first reported in the 1200 block of Birch Pond Trail the afternoon of March 7, and an hour later in the 4300 block of Pondview Drive. County animal control is on it. • Two women along with three kids were walking through the Applebee’s lot the evening of March 9 in the 1000 block of Meadowlands Drive, when a vehicle backing out nearly hit them, according to one of the moms. Passengers in the vehicle swore at the walkers and challenged them to a fight (again, this is two women and three children.) A 51-year-old man got out and “pushed” the walkers. Deputies arrived and cited the White Bear Lake man for assault and disorderly conduct. All the adults involved requested an investigation and the charges are under review. • A walker on County Road F was approached in the early morning hour of March 10 by a “friendly” small brown dog that had a note attached to its collar stating, “Do not leave me outside, it’s cold!” Animal control was notified. • A caller in the 4100 block of Summit Lane told the 911 dispatcher March 12 that his wife had taken his car keys and gone shopping with the kids because he was drunk.

Hall-of-fame food artist launches cooking lessons BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Soile Anderson can’t stop cooking. The retired North Oaks foodie and friend Eleanor Ostman are beginning a new phase of their careers this spring — private cooking lessons. Anderson and Ostman discussed the prospect over scones inside the Taste of Scandinavia bakery Anderson founded in North Oaks in 1992. Anderson, a fi rst-generation Finnish American, created three different foodservice brands in the Twin Cities over her over 30-plusyear career in the U.S. — The Deco Catering, Taste of Scandinavia and The Finnish Bistro. She has served the likes of former U.S. President Barack Obama, King Harald and Queen Sylvia of Norway, and the Dalai Lama. In 2017, she was inducted into the ScandinavianAmerican Hall of Fame at the Norsk Hostfest in Minot, North Dakota. Anderson’s fi rst project when she retired a few years ago was to compile many of her favorite recipes and party tips in a book she and Ostman published in 2016, “Celebrations to Remember.” Anderson is well-known for her themed parties and edible décor, such as tomato roses and onion flowers. The book documents in photos some of her most-raved about parties, from a tennis-themed Bar Mitzvah to a Norsk holiday buffet. Ostman, of Roseville, was a food writer for the Pioneer Press for 38 years and wrote the content for the book. The third-generation Finnish American met Anderson when she wrote about her in the ‘80s. To collaborate on the book, they spent many hours in the kitchen together testing Anderson’s recipes, to adjust them from industrial amounts to domestic amounts. “It was a very delicious effort because I got to taste the testings,” Ostman remembered. She also had to help translate a few things from Finnish. Ostman has also documented her recipes and columns in her own book, “Always on Sunday.” Cooking and serving food has been part of Anderson’s life since she was a young girl growing up on a farm in Finland. After her father died when she was seven years old, Anderson took on much responsibility as the eldest of four children. She helped her mother cook on a wood stove and serve four meals a

day — breakfast, lunch, afternoon coffee and dinner — for the dozen or so workers on the farm. They would make 10 to 12 loaves of Finnish sourdough rye bread each day, a recipe that is in her book, she noted. Her catering skills began at age 17 when a friend didn’t have enough money to pay a caterer for her wedding. Anderson organized several friends, oversaw the meal and even baked the wedding cake using a recipe from her mother. The Scandinavian torte remains her most famous cake, still sold at Taste of Scandinavia. The recipe is in her book. Anderson founded Taste of Scandinavia bakery in North Oaks after moving her catering business to the area from Deco Restaurant in St. Paul. At that time, there were no other bakeries in the area and only a liquor store and butcher shop were located in the strip mall. She start-

ed with two tables and four chairs. At fi rst, Anderson wondered if she had made a mistake. “But this neighborhood has supported me,” she said. The bakery eventually expanded to four locations in the Twin Cities. Anderson and Ostman’s cooking lessons will include tastings and a copy of their book at $30 per person for groups of 20 plus. “Between the two of us we are pretty good cooks and we can give people great ideas on how to make their food look beautiful,” Ostman said.

RECYCLERY: Retirees repurpose bicycles for grateful recipients FROM PAGE 1A

year, bikes are going to a north Minneapolis school. A couple times a year Kapaun also takes a trailer load of bikes to a thrift shop in Ashby, Minnesota. He saw a story about the store on TV and decided it could fill a rural demand for the recycled bikes. “We want our bikes to find good homes; to go to people with little or no money to buy a bike,” Kapaun said. “We are not in the business of just giving someone a good deal on a bike.” He particularly remembers a delivery made to an apartment building near Century College. The family of Russian immigrants included mom, dad, grandma and four boys, age 8 to 16. They couldn’t speak English and had no mode of transportation, so the boys were isolated. “They couldn’t get anywhere,” Kapaun recalled. “The grins on their faces when they saw the bikes were unbelievable. That’s what it’s all about.” Last year, the men recycled 253 bicycles; 100 more than the year before. Winter months are spent building up inventory with bikes ready for delivery in April. Demand is outstripping supply, however, as the endeavor is very part time. They did not fulfi ll all the requests for bikes until October last year. If you have a bike to donate, it can be dropped off at Muellner’s rental property at 2100 Fourth St. in White Bear Lake. Leave the bike at the back of the house near the garage. Kapaun asked that bicycles not be left in the front yard. Meeting the demand for the bikes isn’t easy. Donations run the program. A Forest Lake bike shop provides parts at cost, but otherwise, contributions keep them in bike parts. They’ve never run out of bikes. Organizations such as a school or church interested in learning more can contact Kapaun at lynnjoankapaun@hotmail.com.

on the amendments to its permit, repeating the opinion that they are arbitrary and capricious. At least five of the 10 communities affected by the court order (all have wells within a 5-mile radius of White Bear Lake) are either considering or will appeal the DNR amendments at press time. In addition to White Bear Lake, the city of Lino Lakes and White Bear Township have passed a resolution to appeal. Hugo, Vadnais Heights and Lake Elmo have it on council agendas this week. North St. Paul lists the topic on a March 20 workshop agenda. The deadline to

Judge grants DNR request for interim stay

District Judge (now retired) Margaret Marrinan has not yet ruled on the DNR’s request for a stay pending appeal on her Aug. 30 order. Motions were heard Jan. 26 and the judge has 90 days to issue her decision. There was news, however, regarding a Feb. 28 request by the DNR to grant a partial temporary stay of enforcement while the court considers the earlier motion. Marrinan granted the request March 8, noting the plaintiffs take no position on the DNR’s motion for a temporary stay. The judge indicated

that the partial, temporary stay shall only remain in effect until the court resolves the DNR’s motion for a stay of the judgment pending appeal. Richter isn’t sure how the interim stay will affect the DNR’s amendments to city water permits. “We’re in a holding pattern at this time,” she said. “It’s not clear to us whether, by submitting this appeal, we have to continue with ordinance procedures, but that’s how we’re moving forward until we hear otherwise.” The city of White Bear Lake is permitted by the DNR to withdraw 1,150 million gallons of water per year from the Prairie du Chien/Jordan aquifer for its municipal use.

LEGISLATION INTRODUCED AS ‘PUSH BACK’ ON COURT RULING ST. PAUL — Two area legislators hope to circumvent the court order that restricts water use within five miles of White Bear Lake. Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Dist. 38) introduced a bill March 19 and Rep. Linda Runbeck (R-Dist. 38A), a House companion version, that would temporarily prohibit the DNR from modifying municipal water permits, as ordered by (retired) District Court Judge Margaret Marrinan. “Citizens impacted by the court ruling have no recourse and they are not represented,” Chamberlain said. “The judge’s ruling, in my opinion, is unconstitutional and an overreach. It is lacking in judiciary restraint.” The senator contends the ruling makes the groundwater situation worse and prevents municipalities from taking steps to improve the situation. Hugo City Administrator Bryan Bear agreed, noting the court has set policy, something the legislative branch of government does. “Fur-

ther, the policy and regulation ordered by the court is ill advised and will fail to accomplish whatever was intended,” he said. “Hopefully the bills will allow for this to be corrected through a normal process.” Senate File 3573 reads thus: “The commissioner of natural resources must not suspend or revoke a water appropriation permit, issue an order requiring a violation to be corrected, assess monetary penalties, or otherwise take enforcement action against a water appropriation permit holder if the suspension, revocation, order, penalty, or other enforcement action is based solely on a violation of a permit requirement required by the order of the Second Judicial District Court in Case No. 62-CV-13-2414.” The case number refers to the lawsuit between the DNR and defending intervenors, White Bear Township and White Bear Lake, and the plaintiff, the White Bear Lake Restoration Association and its intervenor, White

Bear Lake Homeowners Association. Furthermore, the bill states, the commissioner of natural resources may continue to use all authorities granted under Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.287, subdivision 4, to manage groundwater resources within the north and east groundwater management area. Chamberlain maintains that the arbitrary ban on residential lawn watering is impossible to enforce. “And it does not impact the heavy water users like golf courses and schools,” he pointed out. “This nonpartisan legislation is an attempt to allow the DNR to follow its regular process to manage groundwater until the lawsuit is finalized. It’s our attempt legislatively to push back.” Admitting it’s late in the game, Chamberlain said his bill needs a hearing by March 22 in one of the legislative bodies to stay alive. Attorney Byron Starns, who represents the Lake Homeowners Association in the lawsuit, called the bill “unwise.”

“It is premature and disrespectful of the legal process,” maintained Starns, who noted that affected municipalities already have a remedy to challenge any permit conditions imposed by the DNR under the order by seeking a contested case hearing and judicial appeal. “The Legislature should wait until the appellate process on Judge Marrinan’s order is concluded,” the attorney said. Starns questioned whether the bill violates Separation of Powers. “In any event, it is inconsistent with principles of ‘comity’ and ‘abstention,’” he said. “That is basically a voluntary deference out of respect by one branch of government to another, by one court to another, by one state to another. Deference goes to decisions and the processes underway. There are still motions pending in front of the judge regarding stays and the DNR is going to appeal.”

White Bear police now post lost pets online BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Lost pets are getting a reprieve before being impounded. The lost animals now wait for their owners to find them at the police station — complete with food and blankets — before being transported to a St. Paul impound facility. The police department recently changed its procedure for lost pets, which includes pet-sitting at the police station in newly purchased confinement crates. The change came about after the department began a new contract with the St. Paul Animal Control Center for impound services, said Capt. Dale Hager. The facility is near Como Park in St. Paul. Pets were previously brought to Hillcrest Animal Hospital in Maplewood, which has discontinued its incarceration service. Lost pets found after hours will be held at the police station until the morning, when they will be impounded in St. Paul, Hager said. The department also purchased a microchip reader to ID pets carrying the device. The department had its first opportunity to implement the new procedure earlier this month. A collie-mix dog was found running loose near McKnight Road and South Shore Boulevard about

5:15 p.m. March 12. Officers planned to hold the dog overnight while night shift staff kept the canine comfortable with food, water and blankets. It wasn’t necessary. The dog was reunited with its family before the end of the day after hundreds of people shared the post on Facebook. The reunification was so successful that the department plans to post photos of lost dogs during the daytime hours, if time allows. Keeping dogs at the police station for a couple hours could save residents impound fees and a trip to St. Paul, Hager noted. The police captain said he wants to assure the community the dogs will be well taken care of at the police station and may even be “coddled.” “We have a lot of dog owners in our department,” he said. If your animal is no longer at the police station, contact the Saint Paul Animal Control Center (SPAC) between 1 and 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Lost animals are held up to five business days, after which they will likely be released to animal rescue organizations, according to the center’s website. The minimum impound fee to retrieve an animal is $35 plus a daily boarding fee. Penalty fees may also be applied. The center is located at 1285 Jessamine Ave. W. and can be reached at 651-266-1100.

Part 3: Art Council continued to grow in ‘80s This is the third in a series of installments to mark the 50th anniversary of the White Bear Center for the Arts in 2018. During the 1980s, the White Bear Arts Council continued to offer classes and sponsor new and annual events. In 1983, the fi rst writing contest in cooperation with Lakeshore Players was held. Muriel Berquist was chairperson. She announced that the contest was unusual because the 10 finalists would not only receive cash prizes, but each winner would have an opportunity to see free staged readings of their works by Lakeshore Players. The categories included plays, novels, poetry, short story, personal experience articles, essays, humor, and children’s plays. Nancy Malmstrom offered drawing and painting classes in her Tree House Studio for individuals in her home. Jan Keller taught violin lessons in her studio for children ages 3 and up. She also offered opportunities for group and individual lessons in note reading, chamber ensembles, recitals, and concerts. Frank Zeller offered watercolor

White Bear grad, cut from high school team, named college basketball captain this year BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Don’t give up on your dream. But if you do get discouraged, check out this story about a White Bear Lake graduate. Jade Tucker’s number one passion, basketball, was snatched away from her during her senior year four years ago. Or so it seemed at the time. “My senior year, after tryouts, I was told there was no spot for me on the team,” Tucker said. The six-foot player was one of two seniors cut by coach Jeremy Post from a team that would finish 25-4 that season. “My world collapsed,” Tucker says now. She pulled all the basketball posters off the walls of her room, and stuffed all her White Bear Lake basketball memorabilia and trophies into a bag in the corner. “I didn’t want to see them anymore.” She had played since elementary school. “Not have basketball any more, I was devastated. I missed it so much, especially not being around a team for the first time.” And yet, Tucker stuck with it. And she recently wrapped up a satisfying college career as a captain on a good small-college team, Wisconsin-Superior. “Every practice, every game, these last four years, have all been a bonus for me,” Tucker said, reciting her stock answer when people mentioned to her this season that it must be hard knowing basketball will soon be over. Tucker is grateful that UW-Superior coach Don Mulhern, whose attention she had attracted in AAU ball the previous summer, stood by her. A couple days after the shock of being cut, she e-mailed Mulhern to tell him the news, adding that she would understand if he no longer wanted to recruit her. Nothing doing, Mulhern responded.

“I told her, absolutely, yes, I still want you to come, ” Mulhern recounted in an interview. “I knew she was a good athlete with potential — and a good student.” Mulhern’s instincts proved correct. “She became a captain. The kids look up to her. She is the epitome of the student athlete,” said Mulhern, who coached Tucker three years before moving to coach St. Catherine’s in St. Paul this season. Mulhern urged Tucker to find a place to play. She joined the White Bear Lake intramural league and rediscovered “how much fun basketball was, without the pressure” of trying to impress coaches. “I became a normal high school student, and got my first job, as usher at Marcus Theatre,” Tucker said. She stayed at Marcus two years into her college career. UW-Superior plays in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC), a lower level of basketball than the more familiar Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC). The Yellowjackets have won the UMAC basketball title the last three years but lost right away in the NCAA Division 3 playoffs. In that setting, Tucker was able to work her way up to a varsity role. “I made progress every year,” Tucker said. Superior has a JV team that was ideal for her to break in. Her junior year, she got into the regular varsity rotation, off the bench. “My senior year I was voted a captain,” she said. “Another girl had graduated early and I took her spot as a starter.” As a starter this winter, the left-handed shooter averaged 6.1 points and 4.5 rebounds, and shot 51 percent, for a 23-5 team that was rotating 10 players in and out. Previously in her career, she got into seven varsity games as a freshman, 17 as a sophomore and all 28 as a junior, when she averaged 3.2 points and 2.6 rebounds.

Tucker had a string of memorable games in late January, notching 14 points in a 77-72 win over MinnesotaMorris, 11 points in a 77-28 win over Northland College, and 13 points and Jade Tucker 11 rebounds (her first and only double-double) in an 87-71 win over Martin Luther College. Not bad for a kid cut from her high school team. Zach Otto-Fisher, head coach this year after assisting Mulhern last year, praised Tucker as “the type of student athlete we tell recruits and parents about. I wish we had 15 Jade’s to represent our team and community.” Tucker, he said, organizes the summer leagues for teammates. She picks people up on bad days. She leads by example. She wants to be told what to work on, then does it. She always stayed after practice to hone such skills and post moves and 15-foot jumpers. “Since day one of meeting Jade, I told her she was going to change the world. She has such a big heart, motivation, and drive, not only to be a good person herself, but to make others around her better.” Tucker said she never spoke with Post after losing her spot on the team, but the Bears coach is elated that things worked out for her. “I’m very happy for Jade. She is one of the best kids I have ever coached,” Post said. “Some kids peak in ninth grade, and some don’t come into their own until after high school.” Post said he had four or five scholar-

ship athletes in the same position that year. “I told her she was just starting to figure out how to be an effective player, and that she could start for many other teams in our conference. I told her not to give up on her dream to play college basketball, because she absolutely was good enough.” Majoring in social work, Tucker has a 3.7 GPA and has made dean’s list each semester. She’s especially interested in the reproductive justice field of social work, and hopes to be “working on policy and legislation.” She will don the cap and gown and walk with her class in May, and graduate in August. And when she fills out job applications, she can, happily, list captain of her college basketball team on her resume.

Hylanders out-quick Zephyrs in section fi nals again very hard to win when you lose the turnover battle by that much.” Columbia Heights (20-6) was led by Deundra Roberson with 19 points, Quintin Hardrict 16, Wendell Matthews 13 and Christian Kelly 10. For the Zephyrs, Timmy Lindquist, Jack Shay and Karmoga Lero scored 14 points each. The Hylanders limited J’vonne Hadley to eight points, about half his average. Mahtomedi is still looking for its fi rst return state trip since the school’s lone appearance in 1961. The Zephyrs are a good ball-handling team, so the Hylanders had only about a dozen steals, far less than their norm. However, they turned seven of those into layups or dunks (and a free throw off another steal), each time depositing the ball in the basket within about two seconds after the steal. Mahtomedi charged from behind repeatedly. With two minutes left, they pulled within 62-60 and had a chance to tie but two shots went in and out. After that, Columbia Heights got the ball into the hoop two more times, then pulled away at the free throw line. No. 7 ranked Columbia Heights and No. 11 Mahtomedi were fi nalists in a section with five teams ranked in the top 20. The Zephyrs fi nished with the rare achievement of five starters averaging double digits — Hadley 15.2, Shay 14.0, Zac Centers 11.8, Lindquist 11.8 and Lero 10.8. About his three seniors starters, Newman said: “Timmy, Jack and Moga were outstanding leaders on the court and helped our younger players learn how to play at high levels.”

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Basketball is a game that favors quick people, which suited the Mahtomedi boys team just fi ne this year. The Zephyrs could zip around the court with almost anyone. But they couldn’t match the blazing speed of Columbia Heights, and that’s why the Hylanders stopped the Zephyrs one win short of state for the second straight year. The Hylanders scuttled Mahtomedi 70-62 in the Section 4AAA fi nals Friday evening, scoring 17 of their points off steals, slashing and soaring through little cracks in the Zephyr defense, and beating them to almost every loose ball. “Yes, we have had an advantage most of the year with our speed and quickness,” Zephyr coach Keith Newman said, noting that the Zephyrs ran their way to 78.6 points per game, breaking the team record set last year by 4.6 points. He lauded Columbia Heights as “quick at every position” with more overall speed than two other swift opponents, North St. Paul and Tartan. The Zephyrs fi nished 21-8. They were a combined 1-5 against those three and 20-3 against everyone else. Columbia Heights, with essentially the same lineup both years, beat the Zephyrs in the regular season and section fi nals each year. Mahtomedi got all the way back to the fi nals despite fielding an all-new lineup but ran into the same problem. “We turned it over way too much,” Newman said, lamenting 24 turnovers against just eight by the Hylanders. “We killed them on rebounds — 47-26 — to make up for it some, but overall it’s

Lake Links into more than just route

Lake Links co-chair Steve Wolgamot stopped on a bridge along an Australian bike path made of a composite fiber material he feels has application for the lake route.

Lake Links Association leaders are not just working on a safe walking and biking route around White Bear Lake; they are also looking for the best materials to use along that route. On a recent trip to Australia to visit family, co-chair Steve Wolgamot noticed some interesting bridges and walkways while biking. He located the company, contacted them about their work and explained a need for unique materials in certain sections of the Lake Links route. Long story short, that initial contact down under resulted in a presentation earlier this month by the Australian company, Wagners, at Larson Engineering in Vadnais Heights. Wagners has proprietary methodology to manufacture a composite fi ber product for walkways and pedestrian and roadway bridges. Wagner has extensive experience in Australia, Malaysia and New Zealand, and has built a number of salt-resistant road bridges in the eastern United States. The company is planning a U.S. production facility. “The low weight, longevity and minimally intrusive characteristics of their products solve specific issues and concerns we have on sections of the

Lake Links route,” noted Wolgamot. “Their fiberglass grating panels are permeable for water; may rest on driven pilings, not requiring disturbing underlying terrain, and do not rot or corrode. They can be installed without the need for retaining walls and without the use of heavy equipment, which preserves the area of the trail and reduces undesirable consequences for neighbors.” Wagner’s presentation was conducted by Michael Kemp, CEO of Wagner Composite, and Ken Robinson, head of North American operations. About 30 people attended, according to Lake Links co-chair Mike Brooks. “We had state, regional and local government officials, as well as engineers and designers from numerous fi rms, including MnDOT. We were delighted that Sen. Chuck Wiger, Met Council Representative Sandy Rummel and Dellwood Councilman Jim Cuff were all able to attend.” More information about Wagner’s innovative technology can be found at www.wagner.com.au.

HISTORY ALONG ROUTE IIn 1894 1894, when h raging i fires totally t t ll consumed d Hinckley and Sandstone, killing hundreds, John E. McGowan was a great hero. He was the conductor of the train that stayed in Hinckley to the last moment, saving much of the population from certain death by backing north through flames and terror. Nine years later, on July 5, 1903, McGowan, then an engineer for James J. Hill, was killed in a horrendous train wreck in Dellwood, between the Dellwood and Mahtomedi stations, possibly within sight of Hill’s property on Echo Street. This is just another fascinating bit of the history that imbues our area along the route of the Lake Links Trail, which, thanks for asking, is coming along nicely, with preliminary engineering nearly complete. Thanks to Maureen Raymond and the White Bear Area Historical Society for finding the details.

School Board establishes new open enrollment procedures BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — The Mahtomedi Public Schools Board recently approved new open enrollment procedures that gives the administration more leeway regarding accepting or rejecting open enrollment students. Going forward, the School Board will indicate its total enrollment target number for the next school year at the beginning of the calendar year. The administration will then accept or reject applications in keeping with other overall enrollment goals for elementary, middle and high school levels. The new procedures will prevent the administration from having to come to the board every two weeks for detailed open enrollment approvals, said Board Chair Lucy Payne at a March 8 meeting. “This is really a good path for us going forward,” said Board Member Stacey Stout. Previously, the board held four open enrollment windows, spending large amounts of time discussing intricate details of building and class sizes before making decisions. Superintendent Mark Larson said the district previously had administration oversee the details of open enrollment applications but the School Board requested to become more involved when O.H.

Anderson Elementary’s enrollment was so large several years ago. However, recently enrollment has begun to drop below target, causing the district budget issues. The new procedures will allow the administration to offer opens spots to applicants sooner, thus ensuring students don’t make other plans while waiting to hear back from the district, Larson said. The administration will follow elementary, middle and high school enrollment goals in determining how many students to accept and to which grade levels. For elementary classes, the district the goal is to have class sizes below the metro class study average, Larson said. For the middle school, class sizes will be determined in a way that keeps student team sizes balanced and efficient. The high school’s goal is to not exceed 1,200 students, which was a number determined through a right-size study. Larson likened the district’s enrollment goals to an airplane: the goal of airline operators is to have a full plane to be efficient with fuel and infrastructure. “It makes sense to want to fill your plane up; it’s the same with schools,” Larson said. “We want to be efficient.” At the same time, the district does not want to be overcrowded; that would be like a plane with passengers holding onto the wing. The school board’s total enrollment target for the 2018-2019 school year is 3,288.

In two open enrollment windows already this winter, the district has approved 184 students, which would bring next school year’s projected enrollment to 3,293, five students over projection. However, only 75 percent of students from the first window in January have accepted the offer, according to district documents. Sixty were accepted in the second window, during the meeting at which the procedure change was adopted. Larson has said it is better for the district to be slightly high on enrollment than low to sustain its budget. Several teachers spoke before the meeting, encouraging the board to approve the discussed enrollment procedure and accept more students so that programming can be sustained. At a previous meeting, Bill Menozzi, director of business services, reported the district is expecting a significant shortfall in next school year’s budget. For a few months, the board has been discussing how it could change open enrollment procedures to help the budget. The enrollment target number was also increased by 40 students earlier this winter. All school board members approved the new procedures. In other action, the board: • Held the second reading of 10 annually reviewed policies and three policies

Dogs must be licensed and dogs must be leashed. They also agreed to revisit the issue in a year, something the advisory committee requested be scheduled before summer. White Bear’s favorite park for dog lovers was established in 2007. FILE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

The future of the dog beach will be on the April 10 City Council meeting agenda.

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com

Forget it

Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake. Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.

“DEATH WISH” (R) (2.5) [STRONG BLOODY VIOLENCE, AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT.]

— After robbers (Luis Oliva, Beau Knapp, Ronnie Gene Blevins, and Jack Kesy) kill his wife (Elisabeth Shue) and shoot his college-bound daughter (Camila Morrone) in Eli Roth’s action-paced, wellpaced, violent, entertaining, predictable, star-dotted (Vincent D’Onofrio, Dean Norris, Len Cariou, Kimberly Elise and Mike Epps), 108-minute remake of the 1974 film based on Brian Garfield’s novel, a distraught, grieving, angry, frustrated, revenge-fueled Chicago trauma surgeon (Bruce Willis) takes justice into his own hands by becoming a vigilante killer in the hopes of finding the thieves who broke into his home.

“GRINGO” (R) (2.5) [LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT, VIOLENCE, AND SEXUAL CONTENT.]

— Foul language and inept kidnapping plots abound in this wacky, entertaining, predictable, star-dotted (Amanda Seyfried, Paris Jackson, Yul Vazquez, Harry Treadaway and Alan Ruck), 110-minute dark comedic satire based on Matthew Stone’s story in which a likable Nigerian pharmaceutical representative (David Oyelowo) in Chicago travels to Mexico with his shady, duplicitous, romantically involved bosses (Charlize Theron and Joel Edgerton) to visit a plant in Veracruz that will manufacture an experimental marijuana pill and then on discovering that his wife (Thandie Newton) is having an affair, he foolishly concocts a pseudo kidnapping scheme with two rundown hotel managers to make a few bucks only to become the target of a ruthless, Beatles-loving drug lord (Carlos Corona) and the black-ops former mercenary brother (Sharlto Copley) of his boss looking to cash in on millions in insurance.

Its been a quiet week or so weatherwise, with very little in the way of precipitation or even temperature extremes. The only thing noteworthy in temperature was that for the first time in over 4 months, the Airport made it to 50º on Saturday. I topped out at 48º. The mild weekend really ate at our snow cover. Most fields remain snow covered but snow around my house began pulling away exposing grass, whatever that is. I also noted my first Robins, Red-winged Blackbirds and the geese and mallards returned to the local pond only to find it ice covered.

Crossword

— While a massive category 5 hurricane ravages Alabama and reckless computer hacking thieves (Ralph Ineson, Ben Cross, Melissa Bolona, Ed Birch, et al.) attempt to rob a U.S. mint facility of $600 million before it’s shredded in this action-packed, fast-paced, predictable, bullet-riddled, 102-minute thriller, a hurricane-hunting meteorologist (Toby Kebbell), his former Marine mechanic brother (Ryan Kwanten), and an ATF Treasury officer (Maggie Grace) desperately try to stop the heist.

“A WRINKLE IN TIME” (PG) (2) [THEMATIC ELEMENTS AND SOME PERIL.]

— Gorgeous cinematography, special effects and costumes cannot make up for this disappointing, nonsensical, loophole-filled, colorful, star-studded (Michael Peña, Zach Galifianakis, David Oyelowo, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and William McCormack Jr.), 3D, 102-minute Disney film based on Madeleine L’Engle’s 1962 novel in which three celestial beings (Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling) help two siblings (Storm Reid and Deric McCabe) and a new friend (Levi Miller) find their astrophysicist father (Chris Pine) who has been missing in the vast universe for four years.
