Trial date set for lake lawsuit BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Egg-collecting efficiency Children rush out onto a field covered with treat-filled eggs during the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Community Park in Vadnais Heights Saturday, March 19. According to a parent who used a stop watch to time the event, a wave of 7 to 9-year-old participants completely scooped up hundreds of eggs in 51 seconds.

ST. PAUL — Unless something changes this legislative session, the lawsuit over the elevation of White Bear Lake will go to trial: March 6, 2017. The clock is ticking. At a March 14 status hearing before District Judge Margaret Marrinan, parties in the lawsuit acknowledged it was unlikely the Legislature would fund a feasibility study by Aug. 1 to implement a conversion from groundwater to surface water for six cities in the northeast metro. The August deadline was part of the settlement agreement between the plaintiff, the White Bear Lake Restoration Association and an intervenor, the White Bear Lake Homeowners Association, and the defendant, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and intervenors White Bear Township and the city of White Bear Lake. The agreement put the lawsuit on a three-year hold while stipulating certain conditions and deadlines. One was the feasibility funding by Aug. 1. Missing that first deadline means the stay will be lifted and the lawsuit will go to trial. White Bear Lake City Attorney Roger Jensen said everyone at the hearing agreed that key date would not be met. “The judge recognized it was unlikely funding would occur,” Jensen said. “She also said it was partially due to the fact there is a competing augmentation bill pending in the Legislature.” There’s another wrinkle in the trial timeline. By law, Judge Marrinan is forced to retire when she turns 70. That will be August of 2017. If she is going SEE LAKE LAWSUIT, PAGE 9A

New record for ice out You heard it here first. Well, second, if you were at Benny’s Barbershop. The “ice lady,” Jan Holtz Kraemer, declared ice out on White Bear Lake March 16. It’s a new record. The old record was March 19 in 2012. According to Kraemer, who took over the ice watchman duties from barber Benny Schmalzbauer in 2001, said the rain and wind made short work of the remaining ice. “It’s no surprise with this warm weather,” she said. Kraemer walked to the tip of Manitou Island on Wednesday and could not

see ice, so she drove to St. Germain bay near the Dellwood peninsula, as the barber taught her, to make the final assessment. The ice historian dutifully calls Benny’s Barbershop first, as is tradition. “They need something to talk about while they’re cutting hair,” she said, noting that the White Bear Press is her second call. Only a week ago, there were vehicles on the ice, added Kraemer. The latest ice-out date remains May 4, 1950. Last year the lake was ice-free on April 2. Debra Neutkens

Mahtomedi Go Round revisits history 10-mile bike/walk trail loop copies Grand Rounds concept BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

Who knew? There is a wealth of historic and scenic points in Mahtomedi and Willernie that a “10-mile total adventure” trail system will cover. Still in the planning stage, the effort is under the auspices of the Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative, according to resident Steve Wolgamot. The group has been working on outdoor and environmental projects for years. “I am a Johnny-come-lately to the issues of bike/walk paths and trails,” he said. “A number of Mahtomedi leaders, dating back

to the 1980s, have been responsible for putting together some remarkable parks and trails.” Called Mahtomedi Go Round after the Grand Rounds trail concept in Minneapolis, the integrated figure-8-shaped trail plan will give the city more identity, Wolgamot noted. “There is amazing history in our city. This is a route that uses not just trails and sidewalks, but streets. It goes to parks, beaches, churches and schools in the city. Nearly all Mahtomedi businesses are on or within a few steps of the route.” According to White Bear Lake trail advocate Mike Brooks, the Grand Rounds concept of inter-

connected trails and parks goes back to the late 1800s and Horace Cleveland, a prominent landscape architect. Minneapolis has been very successful in increasing trail and path use with the concept and promoting the city, he said. There are still parts and area of trail yet to complete, but the accompanying map demonstrates an available route through beautiful parts of Mahtomedi and Willernie, Wolgamot said. “It is a work in progress, but will, we hope, prove useful in letting people know more about SEE MAHTOMEDI TRAILS, PAGE 8A

Me volunteer? Why?

he benefits are tremendous. “Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer.” –Author Unknown Almost everyday we run into someone who is volunteering for something. It might be at church, at a doctor’s office, at a school, at a small business, in the police department, with the fire department, the library or hundreds of other organizations and individual endeavors. We sometimes hear people talk about Americans as having developed into an “Entitled” society. When I look around and see all the people who volunteer for various activities to make schools, churches, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, About the hockey, football, basketball, wrestling, skiing and many other Town extra-curricular programs work, Gene Johnson I am very proud of this attitude of giving in my fellow Minnesotans. Carrin Mahmood, volunteer coordinator at St. Andrews Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi uses 100 volunteers every weekend to cover their Sunday services. They use 70-80 to run their Community Resource Center, 250 during special services such as Christmas and Easter, 120 for their annual block party and 20 for their weekly community dinner. Carrin commented, “Volunteers are absolutely essential to St. Andrews. Our staff couldn’t possibly do everything and volunteering gives individuals ownership to the community.” The White Bear Lake Area Historic Society uses 15-20 volunteers for cleaning and decorating projects each season. The September House Tour uses 120-150 volunteers and the Town Hall project took several to acquire and get the Town Hall moved. They will need many more to get it ready to be on display for the public. The Minnesota Science Museum and Nature Center have approximately 700 dedicated volunteers who lead tours, clean exhibits, direct people traffic, watch over the hand on exhibits, catalog items and serve in many other ways. Alicia Peterson of the White Bear Lake Emergency Food Shelf reports having 178 volunteers. Eagle Brook Church, with its six campuses, use 6,977 volunteers for various tasks such as traffic control, greeters, and ushers. Of those, 2,790 specifically volunteer for children programs and the nursery. “Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation’s compassion, unselfish caring, patience, and just plain loving one another.” –Erma Bombeck According to a survey by Twin Cities Business, “Minnesota ranks fourth in the nation in 2011 with 38% of its residents volunteering. Across Minnesota, 1.6 million volunteers collectively worked 173.9 million hours and contributed $3.8 billion in service through organizations, with average volunteer hours per resident amounting to 41.5. About half of those organizations had religious affiliations; the other half included groups related to education, social service, sports and the arts, civics, and health.” So why do people volunteer? What is the reward? Several years ago our daughter gave us a book “Helping You is Helping Me” from Habitat for Humanity. The message is that you not only do good for someone else, but you also develop new qualities within yourself. “Volunteers are paid in six figures... S-M-I-L-E-S.” –Gayla LeMaire All in all I want to stress the importance of volunteers to organizations, churches, schools and individuals. In the words of William Shakespeare, “I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks.” Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

What will 2016 Legislative session give?

ill the White Bear Lake levels be addressed this legislative session? Will Century College receive its requested funding to build a new engineering and applied technology center? These, and many other questions relating to education, transportation and taxes will all be addressed during the 2016 Legislative Session. When we convene, we will start with a structurally budget, a Legislator balanced $900 billion surplus, and $1.56 billion in Lingo the budget reserves to protect the state Chuck Wiger from future economic downturns. One of the primary functions of the 2016 legislature is to decide how to allocate the surplus in a way that is structurally balanced. We also need to keep our ﬁscal house in order, create jobs that support families, address transportation infrastructure, and mounting student loan debt. As we make budgeting decisions in the coming months, we must act as responsible stewards of the state money. We must keep our expectations for new spending this session in check in order to keep our economy strong and protect future budget cycles from having to deal with a budget deﬁcit. This session one of several priorities for me is to improve our state’s already successful education system. The legislature needs to focus on

how we can eliminate the achievement gap and expand learning opportunities. We also must ensure Minnesota continues to have one of the most highly educated workforces in the nation. In addition, we must look at ways to make college more affordable for our students by reducing student loan debt. Another priority of this session will be passing a bonding bill to make key investments in core public infrastructure across the state. Bonding bills are important because they create good-paying jobs throughout the state, which helps both local and state economies. The Senate Capital Investment Committee traveled across the state to examine many of the more than $3.5 billion worth of project requests. We know that there are many more important projects than money available to fund them. That being said, I will continue to advocate for local projects including the augmenting of White Bear Lake, a new engineering and applied technology center at Century College and an innovative new proposal by the White Bear Lake School District to build a community achievement center. You can learn more about local bonding projects by visiting: http:// build.mn/ Transportation has also been identiﬁed as a priority this session. Minnesota’s 12,000-mile state highway system has reached a critical point and requires investment. Many of our major roadways are more than 50 years old. Passing a comprehensive transportation bill that supports our aging network—including roads,

bridges, and needed transit—is critical. My focus on jobs and employment is to help create an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. This session we will focus on how we can help create workplaces that support families by advocating for paid family leave, which provides workers the ability to take paid time off to care for a sick family member or a new child. Research continues to show a strong tie between paid family leave beneﬁts and healthier, happier employees with better retention rates. Offering paid family leave to all Minnesotans is also a way of helping close the growing disparities gap in our state. I am hopeful we will come to an agreement on a tax bill this year. Several proposals in the Senate’s 2015 tax bill remain priorities this year, including increases in state aids to local governments and direct assistance that will beneﬁt homeowners, businesses, renters, farmers, and all other property tax payers. This year, we have an opportunity to be prudent with our modest surplus and invest our limited dollars into areas of greatest need. I believe we have an obligation to enact responsible budget initiatives to give the next legislature a balanced budget without making too many promises that would quickly drive future budgets into the red.

The do’s and don’ts of home security

here’s no denying it. Technology is becoming an extension of who we are. Mobile devices in particular are now serving as a universal remote to control our lives – especially when it comes to home security. “Smart home technology in particular is changing the way we protect ourselves, and now many aspects of home security can be controlled quickly and efﬁciently through our ﬁ nger tips,” said Robin Peterson, president of Coldwell Banker Burnet. These innovations are great news, because in the U.S., a robbery occurs every 18.2 seconds, and of those robberies, an astounding 73.2 percent of them are to residential properties, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Reports in 2014.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Pit bulls should be banned Should pit bull-type dogs be banned? I was horrified to read that a 3-year old was bitten by an American bulldog (pit bull) in White Bear Township. The dog reportedly bit people seven times. Wholeheartedly, yes, ban pit bulls. They are a proven danger to public safety. Google “pit bull attacks” and read the stories of the victims of these attacks, if you are unsure. Pit bull attacks on other animals happen daily. Human fatalities occur about every 17

days. “Together, pit bulls (28) and Rottweilers (3), the second-most lethal dog breed, accounted for 91 percent of the total recorded deaths in 2015 (dogsbite.org). Pit bull-type dogs maul happily and relentlessly without provocation. It is time to stop fooling the public. These types of dogs have no place in peaceful communities. The public needs to stop relying on the wishful thinking and promises of pit bull owners, owners who refuse to acknowledge the danger of pit bulls —owners who lack the foresight and empathy to prevent harmful

attacks on people and pets. The public is gagged by political correctness and our local authorities’ hands are tied by pre-emptive laws that prevent the regulation of these types of dogs. Grandfather current pit bulls if necessary, but the first step should be to prohibit the import of new pit bulls to the area. There will be no change until the public demands it. Let the public vote on it. Attacks on our pets and loved ones are unacceptable. Nicole Boucher White Bear Lake

enough to cross his path through the years. Born in Syracuse, N.Y. on August 1, 1923 to Mildred Lamp, a nurse, and Clarence Smith, a scholar and Irish Nationalist, Robert Emmett was named for the Irish patriot; his godfather was Eamon de Valera, first President of the Irish Republic. Robert Emmett was raised at his mother’s family farm in Edgeley, North Dakota — which held a place in his heart throughout his life — and, after losing his mother to tuberculosis, graduated high school in St. Paul Park, Minnesota. During World War II he attended Gustavus Adolphus College and Northwestern University as part of naval officer training; he was a proud patriot who served in a special forces unit of the U.S. Navy scheduled to launch a hazardous amphibious attack on Japan on August 15, 1945 — an attack cancelled when Japan surrendered the same day. (As a navy veteran, in 2015 he was a participant in the WWII Veterans Honor Flight to Washington, DC. ) He met the love of his life, accomplished singer and pianist Dorothy Browne Smith, in St. Paul following the war; they married on September 21, 1946. Following her untimely death from ovarian cancer on their wedding anniversary, 1964, at the age of 42, he raised their three young daughters on his own, devoting himself to their happiness and well being. It was his beloved Dorothy’s early death that launched him on a lifelong path of commitment to natural, alternative healing, heathy food, organic gardening, recycling, and environmentalism, putting him decades ahead of his time. He moved with his family to White Bear Lake in 1967, living in the same home, with the enormous yard and extensive gardens, up until his final illness this year. From the '60s until his retirement from

work as an independent contractor in the 1980s, he held bases in both White Bear Lake and Lake City. After retirement, in addition to enjoying his gardening, the Minneapolis Farmers’ Market, and time with his grandchildren/ great-grandchildren, he was an avid beekeeper. He was well known to the congregation of St. Mary of the Lake Church in White Bear Lake, where for decades he attended daily mass at 7:30 a.m., always sitting in his signature spot, the back pew to the far right. He is survived by daughters Lynn Gordon (partner of Randy Segal), Diane Alexander (wife of Stu Alexander), and Joan K. Smith (partner of David Singer); grandchildren Deborah Gordon Gleize (wife of Chris Gleize), Michael Swafford, Jennifer Gordon Rasmussen (wife of Tim Rasmussen), Jessica Hennesy (wife of Josh Hennesy), Jay Gordon, and Casey Mitchell (partner of Claire Grasse); great- grandchildren Makena and Macy Rasmussen, Treyson “Jimmy” Hennesy, and Eleanor Gordon-Strom. Funeral mass is11 a.m. Wednesday, March 23, preceded by a 10 a.m. visitation, at St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church, 4741 Bald Eagle Ave., White Bear Lake. Service followed by an early afternoon memorial luncheon and reception (details to be shared at services). Interment Oakland Cemetery, St. Paul.

OBITUARY NOTICE

Robert Emmett “Grandpa Bob” Smith Robert Emmett “Grandpa Bob” Smith, 92, of White Bear Lake, passed away peacefully on March 16, 2016 at Fairview Southdale Hospital, Edina. A devout Catholic who had defied medical predictions in surviving a decades-long fight against cancer, Robert Emmett maintained his faith, strong will, and razor sharp wit until the end. He will be remembered for his devotion to family, pioneering organic gardening, keen intellect, political acumen, and selfless compassion for those in need. For the past three decades he was a much-respected fixture as “Grandpa Bob,” at daughter Lynn’s French Meadow Bakery & Cafe, which owes volumes to his hard work over the years and his service as their greatest promoter, advocate, and “wind beneath the wings”; as part that role, for over 20 years he was a respected institution at the Minneapolis Farmers’ Market every weekend, where he tirelessly worked from 3 a.m. until the afternoon, never missing a single day. A man of unwavering faith, wisdom, strong opinions, self-deprecating humor, and sacrifice, Robert Emmett inspired, and left an indelible mark on countless individuals who were lucky

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Sentenced for firearm discharge James Darnell Stuckey, 21, of White Bear Lake was sentenced March 7 in Washington County Court to two years probation for felony reckless discharge of a firearm. The sentence included stipulation he abstain from use of alcohol and drugs and complete chemical dependency treatment at My Home Inc. He can have no contact with Birchwood. Judge Tad Jude stayed a sentence of 366 days and credited 67 days in jail as time served. Stuckey was charged in 2014 with shooting a BB

gun in a residential area of Birchwood. He told a White Bear Lake Police officer he was hunting squirrels.

Robbery suspect pleads guilty A Maplewood man pleaded guilty March 14 to felony robbery involving a residence in Mahtomedi. The defendant, Samia Henderson, 23, was charged Dec. 23 with two counts of simple robbery after deputies were dispatched to the 800 block of Stillwater Road on a disturbance call. Henderson and two acquaintances

had gone to the apartment to join in a party. According to the complaint, they began to physically assault two victims and, once restrained, stole a wallet, cell phones, backpack and other personal belongings and ran out. Witnesses confirmed the robbery and Henderson was arrested. A 911 caller said one of the assailants was armed with a handgun. Sentencing is set for June 1 at the Washington County Courthouse. Maximum sentence is 10 years and $20,000.

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • Child abuse was reported March 9 at an address on Centerville Road. An investigation continues. • A County Road D resident told deputies March 10 that a woman he had invited over after meeting her through an Internet dating service, left his place with his 55inch LG Smart TV that the 50-year-old had purchased for $1,000 two years earlier. • Two female employees of a bar in the 3500 block of Labore Road spent part of their Sunday morning, March 12, sweeping up broken glass in the parking lot. A prowler broke driver’s side windows in both women’s vehicles, making off with two pair of sunglasses. One pair, a pricey prescription model, was valued at $450. • Unpleasantness manifested itself in the predawn hours of March 12 on Star Circle. Children and adults engaged

in a full-on screaming match all got in a van and left the scene about 4 a.m. just before deputies arrived, early risers reported. • Deputies answered a “dangerous condition” call March 12 concerning children playing on the railroad tracks at Edgerton Street and Centerville Road. The kids were gone and deputies spent some time warning families in both directions about kids finding other ways to amuse themselves. • A Bear Avenue burglar remained on the loose after he was identified the morning of March 14 by a homeowner in the 500 block who saw the suspect and got his vehicle’s license plate number. Missing from the unlocked garage were items valued at $688, including an air compressor, a battery charger and a power washer.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • “Now, where did I leave my glasses?” A burglar, who likely now has that sinking feeling, forced open a slid-

ing glass door at a townhouse on Otter View Trail the evening of March 9, rifled dresser drawers and made off with the contents of a jewelry box valued between $9,000 and $10,000. Why the foreboding feeling? Eyeglasses that did not belong to the homeowner were found at the scene. • Loud and offensive language at the Bellaire Education Center March 11 toward the school resource officer led to a trip to the Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center for a 17-year-old male student. The unpleasantness arose over a blue do-rag the youth wanted to wear in school. The bandanna-like headgear is not allowed, the SRO said, due to its gang-related color. • A woman living on Martin Way who set her alarm clock at three-hour intervals March 15 so she could deal with a boiling pot of maple syrup, looked out the window at 3 a.m. and saw her car in her driveway with the door open and her purse gone. She later learned she was the victim of just one of several thefts in the area that night.

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents: • Charges are pending against a St. Paul man, 27, allegedly caught burglarizing St. Jude's Catholic Church March 9 in Mahtomedi.

He told deputies it was an ongoing issue. • A Willernie woman, 22, in the 500 block of Donegal Place, reported finding videos of her and another woman undressing on a home computer. The videos were taken without consent and the woman suspects an ex-boyfriend, 21, who now lives in Woodbury. The March 13 matter was turned over to investigations. • A Mahtomedi man in the 200 block of Wedgewood Drive reported fraud March 14 when he discovered someone was using his PayPal account. • Damage to property was reported after a rock was thrown through the window of

snow removal equipment behind Mahtomedi High School March 15.

plainant, 59, said a woman, 34, would not stop calling and expressed concern for his safety.

Refugee, Mahtomedi grad aims for NBA BY BRUCE STRAND CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Anunwa (Nuni) Omot entered this world in wartorn Kenya, where, by all accounts, he was lucky to survive infancy. But 21 years later, life is good for the 6-foot-9 basketball star who’ll play for Baylor next year. Omot, an Indian Hills (Iowa) Community College sophomore and the first Mahtomedi graduate to get a Division I scholarship, was born in a refugee camp in Kenya after his family fled Ethiopia on foot. “They took a big risk, because if they had been caught, my family wouldn’t exist anymore,” Omot reflects grimly. In Ethiopia, a civil war was raging with Eritrean separatists fighting for independence. As his brother Abajemo (Aba) Omot tells the story, before Nuni was born his mother, Pillow, father, Kwot, and Aba fled from the violence on foot. They trekked 440 miles, in danger of being killed by soldiers while walking at night, to the Kenyan border at Moyale, where they were arrested by police under orders to prevent anyone from leaving Ethiopia. After a week in prison, they were freed with help from United Nations officials and sent to a refugee camp in Kenya to await passes to come to America. Nuni was born in the refugee camp, where they had to stay three years in crowded, hot, hectic conditions with a scarcity of food and water. When the passes finally came, they were trucked 12 hours to Nairobi for medical testing. Their father didn’t pass, so he had stay behind. They had another difficult wait with little food and no money for housing before finally getting approval from the U.S. to leave for New York in March 1996. They were sponsored by Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, and

relatives of Kwot already in South Dakota. His mother frequently reminds her boys “how fortunate we are to be here,” Nuni Omot said. They lived briefly in South Dakota and Minneapolis before arriving in Mahtomedi, where the boys grew up and became sports standouts. His father walked to South Africa after they left, Aba Omot said, and now lives in a refugee camp in Kenya where Aba, a track-and-field standout, visited him and two stepbrothers last year while in Ethiopia training to make their Olympic team. Kwot is waiting for documents for him and the two boys to come over, Aba said, “and that’s when Nuni would see him for the first time since he left Africa.” Leo Johnson, a family friend whose son has been a close pal of Nuni’s since

fourth grade, is proud of how far the young refugee has come. The Johnsons helped Aba get U.S. citizenship and are working with Nuni to do the same. “This is truly one of the great success stories of a young man who started with very little,” said Johnson. “I have watched him grow from a frustrated and maybe even angry little boy, to a young man than any parent would be very proud to call a son. I am very impressed with his maturity and his ability to handle difficulties.” Omot is currently averaging 12.2 points and 5.6 rebounds and shooting 54 percent for Indian Hills, a perennial powerhouse that’s deep in talent and headed for junior college nationals with a 29-3 record, starting Monday in Hutchinson, Kansas. He was a first-team selection for the Iowa all-conference team.

Now 6-foot-9 and 200 pounds, he signed with Baylor on Nov. 12 after making several college visits, accompanied by his mom and brother. “When I went down there on my official visit, I felt wanted. The community and the coaching staff were really supportive,” he said. “The team had a family environment right away, as soon as I stepped foot on campus.” As a willowy teen, Omot was a late bloomer, still on junior varsity as a junior, but he broke out as a senior at MHS, averaging 18 points and six rebounds to help the Zephyrs post an 18-8 record ending with a close loss to Woodbury in the section semifinals. He was 6-foot-5 1/2 and 170 pounds that year. “It all happened super late. I had a growth spurt in high school. I worked really hard before my senior season,” Omot said.

“I really gave it my all. I didn’t know yet if I would have the opportunity to play basketball in college. I wanted an education, obviously.” He had a good example to emulate in Aba, who has graduated from University of St. Thomas, where he was captain of their MIAC champion track team and named outstanding field-events athlete in the conference. Aba, 25, who works for a home security firm, serves as a father figure and mentor. Omot enrolled at Concordia-St. Paul and had to red-shirt a year to clear up academic issues. “I worked on my game a lot on my own, and it

really ll helped,” h l d ” he h said. id Omot also grew almost three inches in that time. He was ready to play last winter and had a strong freshman college season, averaging 12.4 points and 5.5 rebounds for a 19-11 team. That season made Omot raise the bar for his basketball ambitions. “I wanted to play at the highest level, Division I, and beyond,” he said, meaning the pros. That’s why he transferred to Indian Hills, which has a reputation for developing players for Division I under coach Hank Ploma. “This year, I learned to play hard at all times,” Omot said about the season at Indian Hills. “Not many junior college teams have as much talent as we have and you have to play hard. I also learned how to be a winner. We never won this much before on my other teams.” Omot is majoring in business and sports management, but his more immediate ambition is to play pro basketball and be able to return to his homeland and help in a big way as former NBA players from Africa like Manute Bol and Dikembe Mutombo have done. Meanwhile, he gathers used clothing and shoes to send to Kenya. “I want to go back and help any way I can,” Omot said. “Schools, basketball camps, churches, anything I can do.”

their community and in promoting walking and biking here in our towns,” he added. “The route uses links and shortcuts of which many citizens are unaware and provides vistas unknown to many.” Some of the sites encountered on the route include: • Oakleigh Station. A streetcar wye by the Wildwood Amusement Park sent cars to Stillwater and into Mahtomedi. Oakleigh was the center of town, since most of the town’s early settlement was in the Chautauqua area. • Harmon Cottage. Construction date unknown, on Chautauqua grounds. • Homesites on Chautauqua grounds, 1883, including: - John Espy. He organized the Mahtomedi

assembly, was a real estate developer in St. Paul, an ardent Methodist and one of the seven people who formed the Wildwood Park Association, the company that bought most of the land that became Mahtomedi. He summered in Mahtomedi and lost his daughter to toadstool poisoning in 1905. - Rev. David Tice. Methodist pastor in Stillwater. Lost that job and became a land buyer, buying up parcels in the township. - Rev. Samuel Smith. President of Mahtomedi Chautauqua and a prominent Methodist pastor in St. Paul. Founded the Peoples Church and sociology department at the University of Minnesota. • Chautauqua Hotel, 1883. Parts of hotel were removed and pieces of it, primarily windows, can still be seen around town. Became private residence owned by the Deans family.

• Rental residence of bank robber Frank “Jelly” Nash, 1930s. Nash is said to be the most successful bank robber in the country. Captured in Missouri and killed in “Kansas City Massacre” when members of his St. Paul mob tried to spring him. • Home of Edwin Lundy, famous Minnesota architect (Lutsen Lodge). He lived in the red house on Mahtomedi Avenue, which was restored by Fred and Lamese McDowell. Two other houses, 1823 and 1829 Park Avenue, are examples of his work. • A creek on Tamarack Street, one of the few inlets to White Bear Lake. • Elsie Inn, a speakeasy and house of ill-repute in the 1930s. • Silver Slipper. A speakeasy and gangster hangout in the 1930s, 230 Warner Road.

Legislators asked to ‘take a deep breath’ before deciding on augmentation bill BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — Concerned about a certain regional asset within its own borders, city leaders voted not to support a White Bear Lake augmentation bill at the Legislature. They don’t oppose it, either. Rather, the City Council approved “deferring” consideration of a bill until all necessary scientific analyses and studies are completed and approved. The city also plans to spend $25,000 on a lobbying firm to represent Vadnais Heights’ interests as it relates to White Bear Lake. City councils of both White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi went on record with identical resolutions in support of the bill, with conditions. Vadnais Heights understands the desire of private property owners to improve the lake level, but no one has considered the im-

pact of a multimillion-dollar pipeline on Vadnais Lake, noted City Administrator Kevin Watson at the March 16 council meeting. “We’re talking about pumping a significant amount of water (2 billion gallons annually) from the lake. It’s a regional asset as well, and we have concerns related to the impact on water quality,” Watson said. There is also the impact to residents of constructing and maintaining a 4-mile pipeline from Vadnais to White Bear Lake, and the impact and placement of a water treatment facility, the administrator added. Councilman Bob Fletcher requested the resolution to defer have additional language regarding the detrimental effect pumping could have on water quality of the entire Vadnais Lake chain and the disruption to the city’s infrastructure. “I would add ‘extremely disruptive,’” he said,

“‘and in conflict with our current land use plans.’” Fletcher was referring to discussions about building a pumping station on the former Garceau’s site. The council member wants legislators to know that White Bear Lake, often described as a “regional asset,” is only 1.5 feet below its 100-year average. “The lake has risen 3 feet in the past two years. We may only be one year away from the lake reaching its 100-year average,” Fletcher said. “Legislators need to have those points, as well.” Also included in the resolution was a “whereas” that indicated discussions with local state and county representatives indicate “little or no support” for state funding of the project before the science is determined. Council directed staff to hire the legal firm of Lockridge, Grindal, Nauen to represent the city’s

concerns to legislators through the end of year. Retaining a team of lobbyists to defend the city’s interests is “money well spent,” said Councilman Craig Johnson. “It will avoid a much greater expense to the city should this go in the wrong direction.” Mayor Marc Johannsen told the council there are many unanswered questions regarding an augmentation project and expressed annoyance at not being privy to the discussion early on. “We have not been included in the decision-making process,” the mayor maintained. “The route and source will impact Vadnais Heights and no one has ever talked to us about it until quite recently. I don’t foresee it being beneficial to our residents to be paying a tax or doing the heavy lifting (for a project).” The council did meet with Friends of White Bear Lake, an

advocacy group dedicated to augmenting the lake, just prior to the March 16 meeting. Johannsen made it clear “no one should be making decisions about the city’s water system and use of its water without talking to us.” The mayor said he hopes the Legislature looks at the bonding bill carefully and does not commit a large amount of money before understanding the science. “There is a false sense of urgency created by the lawsuit (the White Bear Lake Restoration Association versus the DNR),” he said. “A large public policy decision shouldn’t be done under stress and expediency. We’re asking everyone to take a deep breath, think about it and make the right decision in the broad interest of everyone. White Bear Lake is an important asset to our region, but so is the Vadnais chain of lakes.”

Youth finds work and a friend through Senior Chore BY SARA MARIE MOORE STAFF WRITER

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Abriana Anderson considers her work with the Northeast Youth and Family Services (NYFS) Senior Chore Program to be more than a job. The White Bear Lake High School junior has befriended the senior citizen she serves, Nancy Shreve. “It’s not just a work relationship,” said Abriana. “We go garage saling together.” “Or I will hijack her mom and we will go garage saling,” piped in Nancy. Abriana’s job with NYFS has become a family friendship with Nancy, who lives only five minutes away from the Anderson home. And their relationship isn’t one-sided either. Nancy, an avid photographer, took photos of Abriana and her date for homecoming last fall. “Abriana has helped in the house and outside the house,” said Nancy. She and her roommate moved into their current place two years ago and are still trying to unpack. Abriana helps with cleaning and chores which require agility — changing lightbulbs and smoke detector batteries. She also helps with yard work. “Here with Abriana helping out … it has been so easy,” said Nancy. “Neighbors say what a good job she does. I’ve had different people from the chore service and she is

the best. She’s self-motivating.” Abriana also helps Nancy take care of her two cockatiels, Sonny Tweet and Daisy Tweet. “I have a bird too,” said Abriana. “That is why I am able to better do it.” Nancy and her roommate also have two dogs and Abriana helps bring them to the vet when needed. Nancy uses an oxygen tank and walker, so Abriana’s assistance in going out and about to the store or doctor appointments is appreciated.

More than a job But Abriana has gone above and beyond, even with her busy schedule as captain of the White Bear lacrosse team. “Nancy was like ‘Hey, do you want to go to the gym with me?’” said Abriana. “We’re going to start going to the YMCA together.” Nancy added, “One of these days she’s going to help me write a letter in Spanish to a child I sponsor in Mexico.” Abriana heard about the job opportunity when the youth lacrosse team she was helping out with volunteered with NYFS for its annual spring cleanup for seniors. She saw a flier about ongoing jobs assisting seniors with NYFS. The $9-10

hourly wage for youth sounded good to her. “I was only 16,” she said. “That’s pretty good money.” But now she has a different motivation for her work with the program. She said thinking of her own grandmother and someday her mom needing help and not necessarily being able to be in the area to help them causes her to keep helping Nancy. And she just has a servant heart. “I really like serving others,” she said. “I just have a heart for serving.” Abriana also said she is a perfectionist and has enjoyed seeing Nancy’s lawn cleaned up and improved. “I think it is a nice thing between these two,” said Debbie Wells, senior chore coordinator. “They are friends now. I was really happy when Abriana started with the program.”

Getting involved About 60 area youth work with the the Senior Chore Program throughout the northeast metro, including Mahtomedi, North Oaks, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake. Even more are employed during the summer. Seniors age 60 and over are eligible to receive assistance through the program. Subsidies are available for qualifying low-income seniors. The program started 30 years ago. “It started out as a program for kids who

had gotten in trouble and needed to do community service,” said Wells. Now, most of the workers are responsible youth looking for work. NYFS operates several other programs, including a diversion program for youth charged with misdemeanors, a mental health counseling clinic for youth and adults and mental health programs and art therapy in the Mounds View School District. It has two offices — one in Shoreview and one in White Bear Lake. For more information on the Senior Chore Program visit www.nyfs. org or contact Wells at debbiep@nyfs.org or 651757-4061.

LAKE LAWSUIT: District Judge no fan of augmentation plan FROM PAGE 1A

to try the case, she needs time to write the decision within 90 days from close of record plus give parties time to submit briefs. “To put all those dates together, the trial must be scheduled in February or March, 2017,” Jensen said. The judge set five weeks aside from the March 6 date. “That’s a lot of trial time,” noted the city’s legal counsel. “I’ve been practicing law for quite a few years. Only one case lasted four weeks.” Of course, if the Legislature were to change its collective mind and fund a feasibility study, obviously the trial would be removed from the judge’s calendar, he added. In a memo to stakeholders following the hearing, DNR Assistant Commissioner Barb Naramore wrote that the agency “continues to support a broader regional study to address long-term water supply in the north and east metro.” The DNR is proposing a single study, she said, to address both “the broader water supply questions and augmentation” for an estimated $3.48 million. The funding request would be similar to one described in the Senate File 1910 bill introduced late session in 2015. Such a study would use pending results from the USGS groundwater modeling effort and other information to characterize the region’s surface water/ groundwater systems and identify a range of solutions. “Without funding for such an effort, it is likely that the existing settlement

agreement would terminate in August 2016 and litigation would resume,” Naramore wrote. The proposed study would include water quality monitoring and a pumping volume model to predict if there are impacts to the lake’s ecology. The DNR and USGS are also working on a detailed sampling plan to begin shortly after ice out for both East Vadnais and White Bear Lake. About $1.7 million of the $3.48 million funding request would be used for preliminary engineering tasks related to the augmentation proposal. City Attorney Jensen suggested pushing back the deadlines a year. He said it wouldn’t make sense to try the case for five weeks and cost everyone time and money if the lake is filled up with water from augmentation. Never a proponent, Judge Marrinan said, “I don’t give a damn about augmentation,” and noted at the status hearing it would take agreement from all parties to change the dates in the settlement agreement. The plaintiffs were not agreeable to an extension. So what happens if there is funding for augmentation? “Right now the settlement agreement with its deadlines isn’t affected by the passage of an augmentation funding measure,” explained Dick Allyn, with Robins Kaplan LLP, one of two firms representing the White Bear Lake Restoration Association. “Without legislation by the end of this 2016 session that at least funds the preliminary feasibility and cost budgeting of the six-city reduction of groundwater use, the stay

of litigation could be lifted. The terms of the settlement were not met. Second, if the plans and construction costs aren’t appropriated by the 2017 session, still another deadline will have been missed, same result. “A question you want to keep in mind is what is in whatever augmentation bill that may be passed, Allyn contin-

ued. “Is it for a preliminary study, is it for testing the waters, is it short of paying for augmenting the lake with Vadnais Lake water? Is it going to pay for the whole project? If the bill is a significant approval of augmentation than there could be negotiations to settle the case and there would be no trial.”

BUSINESS BRIEFS Another vacancy filled on Banning A familiar downtown business is opening a third store. Goodthings co-owner Tyler Conrad said their gift store could no longer accommodate growing demand for baby items, toys and games, so they're expanding to a storefront on Banning Avenue. "We needed more space; especially after The Children's Store went out of business," Conrad said. He and his mother Sharon, whom he described as semiretired, are opening Good Kids in the former Art Preserve space in the Key's building. They plan to open May 2 with a grand opening in June. Goodthings, meanwhile, will fill the vacated space in their flagship store with garden, tabletop and home accessory items. The Conrads also own the Good-

things woman's fashion store on Fourth Street.

Hallmark store closing Longtime retailer Borgstrom's Hallmark on Meadowlands Drive is closing March 26. Owner Brad Boogren said financially, the store is no longer feasible. He opened the store in 1988 in Birch Lake Square shopping center and in 2000 moved to the current strip mall in the township. "Retail has changed so much with online shopping and big box stores," Boogren said. "It's getting harder to attract customers." The location has been good for a neighborhood store, he added. Prices on remaining merchandise are discounted 60 percent and more through Saturday. At 57, Boogren said he's not

ready to retire but is considering being an independent sales rep. His 10 part-time employees will also be looking for work. "It's very sad," he said, "and hard on all of us. But this has been a wonderful community and I want to thank everyone who has supported us all these years. It's been a good run and we've had a lot of fun."

Celebrating one year anniversary Mama Jean's Pizza, formerly Wildwood Pizza in Willernie, is celebrating its one year anniversary April 15. The restaurant's namesake, Mama Jean, who passed away in January, brought change to the restaurant, said owner Chris Nitardy, but added it is an honor to carry on his wife's legacy. Jean Marie Nitardy, 49, died Jan. 10 after a battle with oral cancer. She is survived by her husband and four chil-

dren, Alex, Leah, Evelin and Sam. Alex co-owns the pizza restaurant with his father. Since opening last April, the menu has expanded, delivery service was added and after many requests, Mama Jean's is considering bringing back Brian Bell's famous fried tacos, Nitardy said. A customer appreciation sale is planned during the month of April: Customers can enjoy a 14-inch, one-topping pizza for $8.99. New customers can get a 12-inch medium cheese or one topping pizza for $5.99 during the months of March, April and May. "The entire staff at Mama Jean’s Pizza would like to thank its many patrons for their continued support," Nitardy said. "We look forward to meeting lots of new people, building new relationships and assisting taste buds."

Changes to Highway 12 pedestrian friendly MAHTOMEDI — Plans are afoot for a new section of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 12. A segment of the corridor from Trunk Highway 244 to Wildwood Road will be narrowed to allow for widening of the downtown sidewalk. "As City Council is aware, when the Piccadilly site was redeveloped, one of the joint goals for the county and city in terms of contributing was to create more

of a walkable area," said City Engineer Jay Kennedy. The roadway is wider than it needs to be to meet State Aid standards, Kennedy told the council at its March 15 meeting. The sidewalk on the south side will be widened from 3 to 5 feet. The road will also get a mill and overlay to "freshen up the surface." Mayor Jud Marshall said he hopes the changes reduce speed in the area.

There will still be parking on the street. The project will cost an estimated $413,000, with 75 percent funded by the county — or $308,000 —with the city's share around $105,000. There will be no assessments to business owners or the city of Willernie. An open house will be scheduled in early April for resident input. Debra Neutkens

Estate Planning practice evolves. Changing laws, burdens of proof, tax implications and health all play a roll in updating your Will, Power of Attorneys and even Health Care Declaration. Even if your disposition plans have not changed, a review may be advisable. Do your current documents provide for choice of jurisdiction or the new medical privacy laws? Does your Power of Attorney use the most recent approved form? Evolving tax laws also require modiﬁcation of what used to be considered good practices. And in the last few years it has become obvious that adverse tax implications are not understood by many attorneys advocating Trusts to avoid probate. While no attorney has a reliable crystal ball when it comes to a client’s longevity, no excuse exists to not understanding the interplay of estate taxation, gift taxation, capital gains taxes and gifting implications prior to death. Banking practices, insurance tools and a variety of other considerations are always part of the estate planning mix. And as with prenuptial agreements, estate planning too late or too early can be useless.

Bears finish fourth with loss to East Ridge Fourth-seeded Eastview (27-5) defeated White Bear Lake (23-9) in the MSHSL Girls’ Basketball Class AAAA Third Place Game by a score of 53-48 on Saturday afternoon at the Gangelhoff Center on the campus of Concordia University in St. Paul. The Lightning stormed back after trailing by 10 in the first half to claim the third place crown. Three of Eastview’s five starters finished with at least a dozen points as sophomore Megan Walstad and junior Allie Pickrain each scored 14 and junior Rachel Ranke chipped in 12. Walstad hit 7-9 from the floor to go along with 10 boards for the double-double as well. Ten different players scored for a balanced White Bear Lake offense as junior Adrianna Perron led with eight points and senior Makala Keefe added seven in the loss. White Bear Lake came out of the gates firing as they quickly built a 10-2 lead in the first few minutes, but Eastview battled back to pull even at 16-16 by the 7:37 mark. The Bears once again made a run with 14 of the next 18 to build their largest lead of the half at 30-20 before seven of the final eight went in favor of the Lightning to bring it to 31-27 at the half. It was all Eastview early in the second half as they used an 11-0 run to start the half to turn a four point deficit into

a 38-31 lead. The run continued past the midway point of the half as the lead eventually grew to 13 at 49-36 with 6:48 to go. White Bear Lake turned things around in a hurry from there as they scored the next 12 in a row to pull back within one at 49-48 with 58.6 seconds to play. Claudia Pueschner stepped up to the line and knocked down a pair of free throws for the Lightning to push the lead back to three and after a stop, Rachel Ranke made it a two possession game as she knocked down two in a row as well to give Eastview the 53-48 win. MSHSL staff

Bears work extra to beat Knights in quarters The White Bear Lake girls' basketball team moved into the Class 4A semifinals with a dramatic 72-69 upset overtime victory over second-seeded St. Michael/Albertville last Tuesday at the Target Center. The Bears (23-7) used a 5-0 advantage in the overtime session to gain a spot in the semifinals on Thursday night at Williams Arena. Junior guard Alexa Molin was largely responsible for the spree, hitting a three-pointer, followed later by two free throws. She sealed the victory with two free throws with

three seconds left in overtime for Jeremy Post's crew. Molin finished with 15 points to lead five Bears in double figures. Kim Brabenec had 13 points, Makala Keefe 12 and 11 each from Taite Anderson and Alison Hinck. Rae Johnson scored 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Knights (27-3), who lost in the semifinals of last year’s bigschool tournament. Kitri Zezza added 18 points. Mark Aguirre

White Bear Lake girls basketball players and coaches pose with their 4th place trophy at the State High School Girls’ Basketball tournament. The team enjoyed a successful season, including a 15-1 record in conference play.

Bears fall to Skippers in semi-final

Minnetonka advanced to a basketball championship game for the first time in program history with a 75-50 victory over White Bear Lake in the big-school semifinals late Thursday night at Williams Arena. Grace Allen scored 15 points, and Chrissy Carr and Lizzie Odegard added 14 each to power the Skippers (24-4) into Saturday’s Class AAA championship game against Hopkins, their rival from the Lake Conference. Each team had a victory in the two conference games they played this season. Minnetonka recorded a 67-59 victory on Jan. 22 and Hopkins returned the favor more than a month later with a 70-60 victory on Feb. 26. Minnetonka’s only

other state tournament appearance was in 1999. The Skippers ended the first half with a punctuation mark, a definitive 17-4 run that created a 40-23 lead. Grace Allen had 14 points, making 4 of 4 from three-point range. Hannah Hedstrom and Lizzie Odegard had eight points each. Minnetonka’s biggest lead of the first half was a 19-point

advantage with 36 seconds left. White Bear Lake was right there with the Skippers for awhile, and even had a three-point lead with 12:19 left in the first half. Taite Anderson had seven points in the first half and ended the game with 12.

Some members felt the city's marina configuration might not be fair to docks north (the VFW) and south (Pete Sampair) and asked the city to consider shrinking the width of the footprint. Since there were concerns, Burch said the city could wait a month and the decision was tabled until April. "If the lake comes back up, we'll have a war," Parenteau observed.

wants to place the order in April. The footprint for the new docks is the same as the current configuration, which the city has used for 30 years. There is question about allowing the city to have that many slips under its own ordinance. Ganz said if the WBLCD follows the city's ordinance, the marinas would lose 97 boats, most of those from the city. The total slips available in the bay number 436.

The city plans to buy new docks at a substantial cost from Minnesota Corrections in Stillwater. Prison inmates will build the structures, which City Engineer Mark Burch said will take about a year to manufacture. The city

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The day after the earliest ice-out ever, the lake measured 921.97 feet, almost 10 inches higher than last year. In his monthly report on lake quality, White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) member Mike Parenteau said water levels are 3 feet higher than the lowest recorded in 2013. Average is 923.49 feet. His report at the district meeting March 15 included a proposal from aquatics expert Steve McComas to survey Eurasian water-

it was too close to Tally's and would prevent boats from accessing their gas pump. There is a 10-foot setback required from any structure in the WBLCD ordinance. McGoldrick feels the arrangement is not fair and that Tally's dock placement interferes with his ability to rent slips. "We're just trying to survive in Commercial Bay," he told the board, adding Tally's dock is in front of a public right of way, to which he objects, and boats coming in to get gas have created a mud berm in his dock use area. The Admiral D's owner contends that Tally's owners occupy his authorized dock use area to operate their business. Mahtomedi director Mark Ganz, who chairs the lake utilization committee, said he wasn't so sure, adding that congestion in Commercial Bay will eventually require

milfoil. The cost this year is $3,000, or $200 more than last year, Parenteau told board members. The White Bear Lake director noted that McComas also offered to examine water quality as an independent third party on behalf of the conservation district due to the possibility of augmentation. Parenteau will check into the cost. Board members also denied or tabled several dock permit requests. Docks of White Bear manager Brian McGoldrick asked the board to grant a variance to put a 300-foot dock along his property line. Members denied the change, saying

Another city supports inclusion of augmentation in bonding bill MAHTOMEDI — Like its neighbor on the lake, the City Council approved a resolution "supporting inclusion of a project to augment White Bear Lake with surface water in the Legislature's 2016 bonding bill" at its March 15 meeting. The resolution text was verbatim to one passed by the city of White Bear Lake March 8. Noteworthy in the fi rst of three qualifiers in support of the bill: "That the 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." A second qualification read: "That the implementation of the augmentation project will have no adverse effect on water quality and other environmental factors relating to White Bear Lake" and third, "that design and implementation achieve supplementation of the aquifer to avoid adverse effects upon all lakes, wetlands and natural resources."

Councilman Joel Schilling said the conversation at the last meeting provided a good, candid discussion. "I'm not uncomfortable with the language," he said, and thanked the city attorney for putting it together. Staff was directed to provide copies of the resolution to Sens. Chuck Wiger and Roger Chamberlain and Reps. Matt Dean and Peter Fischer. Debra Neutkens

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Mahtomedi City Council conducted the following business at its March 15 meeting: • Extended its sympathy to the family of Washington County Commissioner Ted Bearth, who died March 10. He was currently serving as board chairman. His district included Precinct 2 of Mahtomedi, Birchwood, Willernie and the portion of White Bear Lake that is within Washington County (Ward 4, Precinct 2). • Approved conditional use permit for new deck at 1910 Mahtomedi Ave. Property owner Luke Michaud requested a variance to replace his deck, making it more usable. City Planner Erin Perdu showed a photo of the already completed structure,

which she said is “characteristic to designs in the area.” Councilwoman Lael Ramaley expressed irritation that the deck was already built. “I prefer that in the future, Mr. Michaud go through proper channels and not after the fact,” she said. • Approved the sale of $8.8 million in general obligation bonds to fund public infrastructure, primarily Phase 2 of the Historic District improvements. • Approved appointments to advisory board: Planning Commission: Brandon Sampair and Mike Hedquist. Parks Commission: Jeff Charlesworth and Brian Steinke. Environmental Commission: Mike Hermann, Jr. and Scott Peterson.

Finance Commission: Greg Maples and Colin Johnson. • Heard from City Administrator Scott Neilson regarding results of strategic visioning sessions. Basically, the items are city goals and there were many. On the list, environmental leadership and sustainability including composting and recycling. The city is also involved in a solar garden opportunity, Neilson said. Other goals were in areas of public transportation, senior mobility, a safe route to Wildwood Elementary School, business development on remaining commercial parcels, more life cycle housing, possibly hiring an economic development director, a parks and trail

master plan, relationship building with neighboring communities and Highway 12 corridor planning. Neilson said the city needs to review assessment and utility rates and study full-time staffi ng models for fi re department staff. “It’s a horrific lot to do,” Ramaley said. “Everyone will be working very hard to get this done. It’s a lot on a plate.” Neilson said the council will receive periodic updates on the priorities list. Ramaley requested the goals be published in the city newsletter. Councilman Richard Brainerd was absent. Debra Neutkens

“10 CLOVERFIELD LANE” (PG-13) (3.5) [THEMATIC MATERIAL, INCLUDING FRIGHTENING SEQUENCES OF THREAT WITH SOME VIOLENCE AND BRIEF LANGUAGE.]

— A surprising ending highlights this suspenseful, enthralling, creative, well-paced, 115-minute thriller based on Josh Campbell’s story in which a wannabe fashion designer (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) wakes up in an underground bunker after she is accidentally run off the road in Louisiana and finds herself seemingly held captive with a stranger (John Gallagher Jr.) by an intense, hotheaded retired Naval man (John Goodman) who claims the United States has been attacked by an unknown force and that the air outside is not fit to breathe.
