Sheriff’s office hopes to roll out body cameras by June BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Barbara and Heather Mundis are owners of a new doggie day care in White Bear Lake. They brought a foster pup named Dobby to work last week as they got the facility ready for opening day. She is an 8-month mixed breed up for adoption.

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office was on the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners’ March 26 workshop agenda to present plans for all patrol deputies to wear body cameras by June. The Sheriff’s Office patrols communities in northern Ramsey County, including Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township. Sheriff Bob Fletcher, elected in November, said he would up the

timeline for implementation of body cameras for patrol deputies, correction officers and court services as part of his campaign. Previously, it was expected they would be implemented in 2020. “It’s clear that cameras help build trust with the community because they show transparency and openness to the way that law enforcement goes about its business,” Fletcher said before the meeting. “A critical part of today’s world is having the

A former parole agent is fulfi lling her dream of opening a doggie daycare and pet hotel. The moment she spotted the building formerly occupied by Tri Fitness, Barbara Mundis knew White Bear Lake was the perfect place. "We searched for six months to fi nd the ideal spot," said Mundis, a 23year veteran of the Hennepin County criminal justice system. Involved with dogs for decades as an owner and foster mom, Mundis is opening All Star Pet Hotel & Day Care to fi ll what she sees is a void. "From a business standpoint, there is absolutely a high demand for day care. From a personal standpoint, there is a void in servicing animals that maybe otherwise couldn't fi nd a spot.” Mundis won't discriminate when it comes to accepting day care and hotel guests. Some day cares won't accept bully breeds or large breeds, Mundis maintained. Trying to fi nd a caretaker for a 200-pound mastiff isn't easy, but All Star will take them. Before they have a day care experience, canines undergo evaluation in a room adjoining the play area,

Humane perspective

n the drive over to Bethel College to attend a presentation by photojournalist John Moore, I prepared myself to be humbled. I have great appreciation for the talent, sacrifice and perseverance needed to establish a career and national reputation in any endeavor and more specifically — photojournalism. His presentation was indeed humbling, but it was also inspiring, informative and reaffirming. Some of the fundamental practices Moore shared, including attaching clear and accurate captions to his photos before sending them out into the world, could be applied to all levels of journalism, including local community newspapers. Not seeking to vilify anyone Angle of on either side of the southern border, Moore’s presentation View and images illustrated an issue Paul Dols that is complicated and nuanced. He said that he tried not to pass judgment, but sought to humanize the issue. While documenting difficult situations, his photographs display a level of professionalism, beauty and human empathy I believe anyone practicing photojournalism would aspire to achieve. While talking with Press Publications editor and reporter Sara Moore (who also attended and wrote a story about the event), she commented on the breadth of knowledge Moore has gained through his years of experience documenting both immigrants and border patrol officials along the length of the border between the United States and Mexico. It made me think that he probably knows more than the vast majority of the politicians and pundits currently promoting their viewpoints and opinions on the issue. With all of the factual information currently available to us with a minimum amount of effort, it seems unfortunate that the loudest and most shrill voices attracting the most attention about this and other important subjects appear to be strongly biased, at best, or willfully ignorant, at worst. I personally don’t make a habit of seeking out overtly political discussions in social situations, but through purely anecdotal experience — when I have witnessed or been drawn into a debate — I’ve observed that it is often the most boisterous, opinionated participants who are the quickest to anger and also seem to have the thinnest skin when they are challenged. I’m speculating, but it must be kind of a shock to emerge from a broadcast or online experience that completely reaffirms preexisting bias and enter back into a world where differing opinions are expressed. Over the past few years, I have been exposed to and sought out nonfiction books, articles and documentaries on a variety of subjects that recall the old adage that the truth is stranger than fiction. The authors and filmmakers I admire the most in this realm (now including photojournalist John Moore) are the ones who approach their subjects as a journey of discovery and take us along for the ride — as opposed to a way of reaffirming a preexisting point-of-view. Speaking of journeys, a recently released documentary provides a vivid example of the power of a nonfiction account of a historical event from 50 years ago. I’m not a movie reviewer, but if you have even the slightest interest in the 1960’s NASA space program, the Apollo 11 documentary currently showing in local theaters is, in my opinion, definitely worth seeing. Showing much more than telling, the filmmakers have created a fresh and compelling experience from an often told story. After the movie, I couldn’t help but marvel at what was accomplished with just a tiny fraction of the computing power available today and could only trust that we’re using the exponential growth of this power to help solve urgent problems and maybe even do some things that have only been previously imagined.

A Year of Civic Education and Advocacy

he White Bear Lake Area League of Women Voters spent an eventful program year engaged in education and advocacy on topics of public interest including high school civics education, national and state policies affecting fair representation, and effective citizen advocacy. LWVWBLA members ﬁrst studied and Movers & presented a report on high school Shakers civics education Joan Neumiller in the White Bear Lake Area in 20172018, and are now working with MN Representative Dean Urdahl advocating for HF 249/SF 294, a bi-partisan bill to ensure students are prepared Movers & adequately to be capable citizens able to fully Shakers participate in the Lisa Larson political process. The bill requires students to take a separate credit-bearing civics course in 11th or 12th grade when they are about to graduate and become voters; ensures experiential learning is integral to formal civics coursework; and directs districts to include in annual school performance reports the percentage of students graduating

in the previous school year who answered 30 questions correctly on the state civics test. Fair representation was another timely program topic this year. Fall unit meetings focused on important issues in the looming every-10-year redistricting process: gerrymandering, or manipulating district boundaries to favor one party or an incumbent; voter suppression and manipulation; uncompetitive electoral districts; and possible effects of the citizenship question in the 2020 census, including a population undercount, unfair electoral district boundaries, fewer electoral districts, and reduced federal funding in Minnesota. The LWVWBLA supports changing state law to direct an independent redistricting commission, rather than legislators, to re-draw electoral district boundaries to better ensure fair representation. The LWVWBLA sponsored a public forum in November on voter manipulation and suppression with retired MN Supreme Court Justice Paul Anderson, and another public forum in February on MN immigrants, the 2020 census, and fair representation with MN Immigrant Law Center attorney, Mirella Ceja-Orozco. People attending these forums heard differing perspectives on redistricting. A third public forum in January was dedicated to effective citizen advocacy. An expert panel of retired legislators, Mindy Greiling, Carol McFarlane, and Barb Yarusso, and

third party gubernatorial candidate, Ken Pentel, provided a master class on how citizens can effectively advocate at the State Legislature. The panelists discussed, among other topics, what citizen advocates must know about structure, politics, and people at the state legislature; what citizen advocates must do to access, persuade, and prevail at the legislature; and why public policies are rarely developed all at once. They compared the relative effectiveness of professional lobbyists and citizen advocates, and offered advice to citizens interested in changing MN’s redistricting law. This spring members discussed voting system vulnerabilities described in “The People’s House” by David Pepper, a prescient thriller for political junkies. The LWVWBLA’s program year concludes in May with a member report on a two-year study of area police responses to domestic violence. We look forward to another exciting program in 2020 to coincide with the League of Women Voters’ 100th anniversary. Please join us. Links to recordings of the three public forums, the guide to effective citizen advocacy, and the report on high school civics education are on the LWVWBLA website: http:// www.lwv-wbla.org. The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan group, and all public forums are free and open. Lisa Larson and Joan Neumiller are members of the LWVWBLA Board of Directors.

BBB tips for coping with flood damage

ith all the recent snow and rain, some homeowners are fi nding themselves dealing with flooding and mold issues. Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) has some advice for those having to clean up and repair damage from all the water that’s leaked into their homes. Getting rid of water inside a home can be as easy as vacuuming it up and drying out the room, or as extreme as having to rebuild part of the structure. Mold is also a big issue when moisture or water accumulates indoors. Detecting mold may be difficult because it can be hidden inside walls, under carpet, inside ductwork, or in roofi ng materials above the ceiling, so it’s best to get help from a professional.

Dealing with water damage can be very stressful and naturally, people want to get their homes back in order as soon as possible. However, making some decisions too quickly and without doing the necessary research can make matters worse. To help property owners navigate the recovery and process, Movers & restoration BBB offers these tips: • Does your Shakers insurance policy Better Business cover flood damage? – Most homeowner’s Bureau insurance policies in Minnesota and North Dakota do not provide flood coverage. This additional coverage needs to be purchased in advance

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

One-way trial unnecessary experiment We object to the suggestion for a one-way experiment on Bald Eagle Boulevards. We have lived on West Bald Eagle Boulevard for almost 35 years. A one-way thoroughfare around Bald Eagle Lake would create significant problems for residents living on the boulevards and adjoining neighborhoods. Of greatest concern and a primary objection to making the boulevards one-way is the ability of emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fi re trucks to quickly reach addresses on the boulevards. They would have to zig-zag through neighborhoods on one half of their trip. School bus routes would also be impacted. An additional objection to widening the shoulder in previous studies includes the necessity of removing numerous trees that are in the way. Residents of east-west streets, for example, like Stillwater and Buffalo along with north-south streets like Division and Anderlie should get ready to experience traffic the boulevard now supports. The one-way on the boulevard would suddenly drive traffic into adjoining neighborhoods as residents attempt to fi nd their way to downtown White Bear Lake, Highway 61 or simply try to get home. The boulevards have long blocks without many side streets, so a one-way would make getting around the lake an unnecessarily complex task. The possibility of the one-way has been previously explored by the township on more than one occasion and found not workable each time. Representatives of MnDOT spoke at meetings about studies that found two-lane streets suppress speeding, making walking safer compared to one-way streets on which no oncoming traffic lets drivers feel more confident in going faster, making it less safe. We oppose even a trial one-way on the boulevard. This is an unnecessary and expensive experiment that creates more problems than it solves. There's a reason Ramsey County doesn't want to own a one-way road. Katharine and Patrick Churchill White Bear Township

Rush Line dollars better spent on roads In my opinion, our White Bear residents’ transportation tax dollars would be much better spent on improving the roads around town instead of this boondoggle bus project. The roads are a disgrace every single spring. Most notable in my experience: Otter Lake Road north of Hwy. 96 and South Shore Boulevard. Am I the only one who thinks this? I, for one, will not be using the bus, but I use the roads daily. For people who need transportation services, there are several available in White Bear currently that only request a donation. The millions being spent on this bus/depot project would go a long way to improve the transportation conditions and safety in our beautiful town. Denise Simon White Bear Lake

25-year-old man dies from vehicle crash WHITE BEAR LAKE — A 25-year-old West St. Paul man died after an accident at the intersection of Highway 96 and I-35E about 3 p.m. March 22. “Two vehicles collided at the intersection of Highway 96 and the ramp to southbound 35-E,” said White Bear Lake Police Capt. Dale Hager. It appears one vehicle was turning to go southbound on I-35E and one was traveling eastbound when the collision happened at the stop light intersection. The driver of the other vehicle was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Hager said. Their identities have not been released. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The Minnesota State Patrol assisted with reconstruction of the crash site to help determine how the accident happened, said Lt. Gordon Shank.

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

Dellwood • A resident on Tamarisk Road on March 6 reported that a pesky raccoon kept appearing on his doorstep and wanted Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies to dispatch it. Deputies advised the complainant that they couldn't dispatch a raccoon just for being a nuisance. They gave the number of a local pest control provider instead.

Grant • A resident in the 10000 block of 60th Street N. on March 5 reported listing his vehicle for sale on Craigslist and having a potential buyer offer to put funds in the complainant's bank account number because he was out of state and asked for the complainant's bank account number. The complainant thought the whole idea was suspicious and didn't reveal his financial information. He blocked the person instead. • Unauthorized entry to a home in the 11000 block of Manning Trail N. was reported March 7. If a burglary occurred, it is now cold, as it is unknown when the entrance through the rear door of the house occurred. No alarm bells rang, and no camera took pictures. • A Minneapolis woman, 38, was cited at 4:15 p.m. March 8 on eastbound Highway 36 at Manning Avenue N. for use of a wireless communications device while operating a motor vehicle after eastbound deputies waiting at the red light saw the motorist over in the left turn lane holding a phone against her steering wheel while scrolling and reading the screen. The driver, described as very polite and cooperative, admitted to reading her phone at the lights. Deputies explained that motorists may not use their phones, even while waiting at a red light. When the motorist was verbally warned for not having her license with her, she told deputies she had just had her wallet stolen. • A 27-year-old Hudson Township, Wisconsin, woman was cited at 6:48 p.m. March 8 on southbound Manning Avenue N. at Highway 36 for use of a wireless communications device while operating a motor vehicle after deputies waiting at the red light observed her in the left lane holding a phone and manipulating the screen. The polite driver said she was just looking at her GPS. Deputies advised her she was not allowed to do that, even while waiting at a red light. • A St. Paul man, 20, was cited March 8 on southbound

Manning Avenue N. at 75th Street N. for speeding 64 mph in a 55 mph zone after northbound deputies clocked him on radar at 72 mph and turned on the vehicle lights to follow it for a traffic stop. The motorist did not reduce his speed one bit even though the deputies were clearly behind him. The driver told deputies he thought he was traveling at 70 mph and that the speed limit was 60 mph.

3000 block of Century Avenue N. holding a can of beer was reported at 11:22 a.m. March 7. Deputies arrived and found the man still standing at the scene, holding his can of beer. When the subject told deputies he was waiting for his ride home, they asked him if he wouldn't mind walking to his home in White Bear Lake. They dumped his beer out when he agreed.

• An intoxicated male at Cozzie's Bar in the 11000 block of 60th Street N. who wouldn't leave when asked at 12:07 a.m. March 9, turned out to have been stranded because the Uber driver he had called got stuck in the snow. Deputies gave the unwanted male a ride home.

• In keeping with their housekeeping endeavors, the management of Quinny's in the 3000 block of Century Avenue N. at 11:46 a.m. March 7 reported a male who dumped multiple bags of garbage into their dumpster. The establishment's surveillance camera was a good one, and showed detailed footage of the male, his vehicle and his license plate number. Deputies’ next move was to contact the male committing trash fraud.

Mahtomedi • A resident in the 100 block of East Avenue on March 4 reported receiving phone calls from a male with a Middle Eastern accent telling her to go to her nearest post office with $99 to give to two men in a moving truck who would bring her $2 million and a Mercedes Benz she had won. While deputies were on the scene, the same male called back and deputies took the call. When they advised the male to stop phoning the complainant, he hung up on them. In calling deputies before taking any action, the complainant, 89, avoided giving any money or information to the confidence trickster. • A Mahtomedi woman, 49, was arrested at 9:52 a.m. March 6 in a parking lot in the 1000 block of Wildwood Avenue for aggravated DWI after deputies were called to an empty snowbank on Woodland Drive and Century Avenue N. for a reported vehicle off the road. Deputies located a vehicle, its front end covered with snow, that matched the reported description, located in a nearby parking lot. When deputies asked the driver if she was the person who had gone into the snowbank, she said that her vehicle was too big and that's why she went into the ditch. During the explanation, deputies detected a strong odor of alcohol and slurred speech and asked the subject to step out of her vehicle. Instead, she refused and attempted to drive away. She was unable to in her condition, and deputies removed her from the vehicle. After exiting, she could not stand up on her own. In fact, her balance was so poor, deputies did not feel comfortable administering any of the field sobriety tests. The preliminary breathalyzer test registered 0.4 and still registered that number at jail. The subject was medically cleared by Lakeview Hospital before she was returned to her cell. • A resident in the 700 block of Arcwood Road on March 6 reported her driver's license and credit cards stolen, resulting in fraudulent charges. • A suspicious man standing outside Quinny's in the

• A Grant man, 36, was cited March 7 in the Freedom gas station parking lot for driving after revocation after southbound deputies on stationary patrol on the shoulder of Hilton Trail at 66th Street observed the northbound motorist traveling faster than the other vehicles and clocked him on radar at 64 mph in a 50 mph zone. Deputies recognized the driver at once from previous traffic stops and asked if he knew why he was stopped. The driver said he did, and that was why he slowed way down when he saw them. Deputies stated on their report that the driver had lived in the area a long time and should have known the speed limit. He was verbally warned for speeding. • An unidentified juvenile was arrested on a warrant at 2:49 a.m. March 8 in the 200 block of Huron Street and arrested for second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon after he assaulted a Mahtomedi man, 55, with a knife. • An unidentified man was arrested just before midnight March 9 on Stillwater Road and Hilton Trail N. for second-degree DWI, refusal to submit to a chemical test and use of force after deputies were called to Stillwater Blvd. for a vehicle traveling eastbound in the westbound lane. Deputies at Lake Elmo Avenue N. heading westbound on Stillwater Blvd. to answer the call had to escape into the north ditch to avoid a collision with the subject. After deputies turned on the vehicle siren and activated their emergency lights, the wrong-way motorist veered into a driveway in the 10000 block of Stillwater Road. When deputies pulled into the driveway behind him, the motorist exited the vehicle and fell down. When the subject got up, deputies trained their service pistol at him and ordered him to the ground. The standardized Horizontal Nystagmus Test of the subject's eye movements indicated intoxication.

Humanizing the contentious U.S. border debate “Two realities can exist at once. It can be true that people coming across the border deserve political asylum. At the same time, people cross that do not have valid stories.” John Moore U.S. border photojournalist

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

For photojournalist John Moore, border patrol agents and undocumented immigrants are all humans with stories worthy of being captured and documented via camera. Moore has been taking pictures related to the U.S. border for about a decade. The special correspondent for Getty Images recently published some of his work in a book titled “Undocumented.” “In my coverage, I tried to humanize the issue as much as possible,” Moore told a group of Bethel University students at a special event hosted by the Johnson Center for Journalism and Communication in Arden Hills earlier this month. His coverage started where undocumented immigrants' journeys often begin — Central America. He photographs the conditions that people are leaving — poverty, gang violence and drought. Moore then followed immigrants journeying north to attempt to come to the U.S. Many of them hop on a network of freight trains, so he rode on top of a freight train in Mexico for 15 hours to take photographs of the crowded, hot conditions. Many people cross the U.S. border using the services of a “coyote,” or someone who smuggles people. The cost is about $7,000 to $12,000 per person for three chances. People often mortgage their property in their home countries to get loans to pay the smugglers, hoping a new job in the U.S. will help them pay it back. “I try not to pass judgment on what they are doing, if it is right or wrong,” Moore said. “I just document it.” Undocumented immigrants go by many names — illegal immigrants, asylum seekers. “For me, they are just people,” he noted. Moore also aims to humanize U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents, with whom he goes on ride-alongs. “I just say, ‘What you are doing is important,’” he said he tells CBP agents. “I do not necessarily have to take a side. I don't want to misrepresent them.” When he was on a ride-along, agents rescued a man who collapsed during his journey into the U.S. He has been on a helicopter patrol along the border. He has documented agents' backgrounds and careers. One agent he met was a former refugee from Iraq. He has documented agents capturing undocumented immigrants. One of his photos went viral last year — taken June 12 of a small girl crying on the Texas border as her mother was searched. While the image became an icon of the family separation policy put in effect in April, the mother and her child were never separated. While he was on a ride-along with a border patrol agent at night, Moore heard a group of people coming across the Rio Grande on rafts. Border patrol found the group of a dozen women and children when they came up from the river. Moore spoke with the soon-to-be-famous mother, Sandra, who was holding her almost 2-yearold daughter Yana while the agents examined the group's documents and prepared to transport them to a processing center. Sandra came from Honduras and her daughter was clinging to her. She, like the others in the group, were asylum-seekers and had brought documents to try to prove they were in need of asylum.

Moore’s photo of a child crying at the border has been nominated for the 2019 World Press Photo of the Year award.

“I try not to pass judgment on what they are doing, if it is right or wrong. I just document it.” John Moore U.S. border photojournalist “Undocumented immigrant asylum-seekers are not really undocumented,” Moore noted. Sandra had to set down Yana while she was searched. The toddler started to cry when her feet hit the ground. Moore's ride-along was fi nished for the night. He didn't know whether Sandra and Yana would be separated or not. In that same area along the border, 2,000 families had been separated. In the caption he submitted to Getty Images, he indicated the two had been sent to a processing center for possible separation. The image went viral and became politicized. He said his job is to submit accurate information, which he did. How people interpret and use it cannot be controlled, he noted. Moore was later able to learn that the mother and daughter had not been separated. His photo of the incident was nominated for the 2019 World Press Photo of the Year. Over the last decade, the types of people crossing the border have changed, Moore said. In 2000, when there were almost 10 times more people crossing the border illegally, they were mostly young men. Today, people crossing the border are largely families, most of them seeking political asylum. “That has changed drastically the scene on the border,” Moore said. Border patrol stations are not equipped to house children, he said. The $1.4 billion Congress earmarked for the border last month will not just go toward new fences, but will allow U.S. Customs and Border Patrol to update its facilities. Moore said he hopes his photographs remind people that every person who is caught up in the border debate is a human, and that people on either side don't demonize each other. “I hope that people see each other as human be-

ings,” he said. “I'm trying to humanize situations as much as I can.” After covering the border for a decade, he has learned not to form quick opinions. “Two realities can exist at once,” he said. “It can be true that people coming across the border deserve political asylum. At the same time, people cross that do not have valid stories. … It's just a whole lot of people, and they have a whole lot of stories. Some of them are made up and some of them are real.” During his career, Moore has also documented famines in Somalia; politics and an ensuing suicide bombing in Pakistan; and the Ebola epidemic in Liberia. The event held at Bethel University was funded by Gene and Kathy Johnson, of White Bear Lake, who helped start the university's journalism program in 2008. They are the former owners of Press Publications.

which is standard practice in most places, Mundis said. If a pet doesn’t play well with others, there are alternative quarters. “We tell people your dog can come but won’t have group play experience. Staff will rotate to play with them.” Staff is trained in pet CPR and fi rst aid and there is a supervision ratio of 15 to one. Owners are welcome to watch their pets at play via web cams. Even report cards are provided if requested. Moveable walls segregate dogs by age, size and temperament. Dog beds will be dispersed around the room for down time. Prices vary by length of stay. A full day is $32 per visit; 3 to 5 hours is $20. There are package prices for half and full day, as well. Overnight stays are $47; suites are $58. A cat condo is $29 per night. They also have a special room for barkers and climbers. Pocket pets and exotics can be accommodated, as well. The owner and her spouse, Heather Mundis, have done puppy mill rescues for years and fostered at least 140 dogs. Heather is a licensed psychologist and manages a community mental health center in Forest Lake so she won’t be directly involved. “I’ll be holding down the fort on the home front,” she said. Barbara is part of an organization working to develop standards for doggie daycares. Called International Boarding and Pet Services Association, or IBPSA, the group is promoting training and professionalism in the industry, something she believes should be better regulated. “A conditional use permit was required for the facility; a process that was rigorous,” Barbara said. “White Bear Lake has high standards and it’s super dog friendly. That’s why we wanted to be here.” They are also doing things like using products that are safe and recycling. “That is where our heart lies,” Heather noted. Social events will be scheduled.

BODY CAMERAS: Ramsey County Sheriff wants them for jail, courts by fall FROM PAGE 1A

part of today’s world is having the support and confidence of the community. Most major departments already have cameras. Most smaller ones are acquiring them as we speak.” Under Fletcher’s plan, all patrol deputies, investigations, water patrol and community support services will wear body cameras by June. Squad cameras would be updated to work together with the body cameras. “The goal is to be able to store all the data on a common system,” the sheriff said. The office is still finalizing its

proposed policies for public input, but Fletcher summarized how he hopes the cameras would be used. Deputies would activate their body cameras whenever an incident occurs: for example, when they pull over a driver or respond to a call. Unfortunately, he noted, it is not possible to store unlimited amounts of video, so the cameras will not be on every minute a deputy is on duty. Body camera footage and squad footage can both help show what happened during an incident. Correctional officers would have body cameras while working in the Adult

Detention Center by August, if all goes according to plan. They will use the cameras slightly differently than patrol deputies, Fletcher said. “Our intent is to have the cameras activated whenever they are in direct contact with an inmate,” he explained. They would be used during the booking process. Court security, civil process and regional services staff would receive cameras by October. They would activate them when warranted, for example, when transporting someone to court, Fletcher said. The cost is expected to be $1.4 million

in the 2019 budget for 400 cameras and four full-time staff, according to county documents. The initial equipment and capital improvements are expected to cost about $500,000. In the 2020 budget, personnel and ongoing services and charges would cost about $1 million. The sheriff’s office plans to hold a community engagement meeting in April in Vadnais Heights; a date has not been determined. A public hearing will be held at the Ramsey County Board meeting April 30. The office hopes to purchase cameras in May.

Special day celebrates venerable vinyl BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Contrary to what the digital music generation may think, the independent record store is doing a brisk business. You could say the popularity of vinyl is making a comeback, but some say it never really left. Owners of White Bear Lake Records, a downtown store the size of a one-car garage, attest to its staying power. Chris Valenty, a one-third owner who grew up in Forest Lake, admitted that, yes, records went out of style a couple decades ago. “In the ‘90s, people were throwing them out,” he recalled. “There was a time when no one was making records and pressing machines were scrapped. But they’ve started making records again.” And it’s not just the baby boomers walking through the door into the small, cluttered store. Gen Zers are getting hip to vinyl and the whole “music experience” records bring. Valenty sees it as a physical thing. “Records are cool. You put on a record and concentrate on the music in an almost ritualistic way. You have an experience with music rather than something playing in the background. Kids see it as almost

IF YOU GO: N ti National l Record Store Day is April 13. White Bear Lake Records, 4775 Banning Ave., will be celebrating with new inventory and $1 LPs/CDs table. It will also be selling tiny turntables, a limited special edition 3-inch turntable and 3-inch records. Hours are extended from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. DEBRA NEUTKENS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

magical. It’s alien technology to them.” The three owners, Valenty, Drew Miller and Tom Novak, readily admit to an obsession for vinyl. They’ve amassed thousands of records between them. Formerly named Go Johnny Go, the store changed hands last October when Johnny Kass moved his record business to Maplewood Mall. They’re all friends who met through the record collecting world. Miller has surrounded himself with records since age 3 and has an

old black-and-white photo to prove it. A bass player for Boiled in Lead and Kinda Fonda Wanda, he is a musician who proudly claims that “records came fi rst.” Ditto for Novak who started collecting, and collecting, and collecting — since childhood. Both he and Miller sell records online from a vast inventory to supplement income. In addition to myriad albums in every genre, the store carries a select set of equipment such as turntables and CD players. “We’re always interested in helping people with their spring cleaning,” Miller hinted. National Record Store Day is April 13, a day to celebrate independent record stores. Miller said they want to be sure to have “Led Zeppelin IV” and Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” in stock. There are a few rarer albums in the current inventory: A Chuck Berry, and Pink Floyd’s second album that both sell for $125, two of the pricier LPs in the store. The trio of aficiondos like nothing better than standing around talking about music. “It’s the barbershop heritage of this space,” Miller said. If you have an album to sell, know

that they are well-versed in the complicated art of appraising value of originals versus reissues. The Beatles “Sgt. Pepper” album, for example, fi rst released in England in 1967, had 771 versions. If you’re ever looking for something, they will try to fi nd it for you. “That is really fun for us,” Miller maintained. “We have basements full of records. Someone was looking for Harry Nillson’s “The Point.” Chris had a copy. Another customer was looking for a type of stereo test record. I had that in my online stock. We have new stuff, too. Some teenagers wanted records by the Guerrillas and Tame Impala. We special-ordered them from our distributor. They showed up and paid for them.” The store owners love the location. “White Bear is great,” said Miller, who moved to the city after buying a share of the store. “This feels very sustainable. The space is excellent. People are always coming in the door with interesting things to sell us. And they walk out with interesting things.” Valenty agreed. “Even if we wanted to, we couldn’t stop doing this,” he admitted. “It’s in our blood.”

For the fourth year in a row, the Northeast Metro Expo will bring business and community together in a family-friendly environment. The free event will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, April 7, at White Bear Lake Area High School's South Campus. Local businesses, nonprofits, schools and health centers will share information about their services with community members. Food and free entertainment will keep expogoers full and entertained. New this year is a live singing competition inspired by NBC's popular TV singing competition, “The Voice.” Finalists Julia Wettschreck, Kennedy Lorraine Tima and Sarah Spaulding will compete live for a $250 grand prize. Gary LaRue, a singer and owner of Rat Pack Entertainment, helped select the three fi nalists from submitted video recordings. “It may sound cliché, but it was really hard to narrow down the submissions to the three chosen finalists,” he said. “Each had passion and talent, which is great, but of course it contributes to the diffi-

culty in narrowing down the field. While it wasn't easy, we eventually decided on the three fi nalists, and we're looking forward to a great competition.” The fi nalists will take the stage shortly after 2 p.m., each performing a handpicked song to a pre-recorded instrumental track. Singer Kat Perkins, a semifi nalist in the NBC show's sixth season, will join LaRue and others on the judging panel. After the winner is crowned, Perkins will perform two songs to help close out the day. Expo attendees also have the opportunity to show off their own vocal ranges. Prior to the competition, LaRue will lead the crowd in a collective singalong of Neil Diamond's “Sweet Caroline.” “If all goes well, we'll set Northeast Metro's record for (the) most people singing 'Sweet Caroline' at the same time,” LaRue said. South Campus is located at 3551 McKnight Road in White Bear Lake. The annual event is sponsored by the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Council and Press Publications.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS

WASHINGTON COUNTY PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS

Deaths continue to rise from opioids, alcohol and suicides in Minnesota More Minnesotans died from opioids, alcohol and suicide in 2017 compared to previous years, continuing a long-term trend for individuals, families and entire communities. In 2017, 422 Minnesotans died from opioids, 636 from alcohol and 783 by suicide, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. Since 2000, deaths from all three steadily increased in the state. Many other states have reported similar increases. While each of the deaths is an individual tragedy, Minnesota Commissioner of Health

Jan Malcolm points to the need to address the trend with community-level solutions. “There are many forces driving this increase in preventable deaths, and a key factor is a lack of social connectedness and opportunity,” Malcolm said. “Our overall health is determined by many factors, and one of the most important is the health of our communities. Things like job opportunities, good education and social connection each play a role in the health of individuals, families and communities. That means strengthening our community is an important step toward addressing these health challenges.”

Alcohol attributable, opioid overdoes, & suicide deaths, Minnesota 200 to 2017

MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH| SUBMITTED

Deaths from opioids, alcohol and suicide have risen over the last decade.

Making court appearances in Washington County the week of March 4: • Appearing in Washington County Court March 8 was Richard J. Sanders, 42, 100 block of Glenmar in Mahtomedi. He is charged with felony second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, which has a maximum sentence of seven years and $14,000. According to the complaint, deputies were called to a residential address in Mahtomedi around 2:50 a.m. March 7 upon a reported domestic. A woman, 42, reported her boyfriend, identified as Sanders, returned home from a bar, woke her up and started yelling at her and damaging furniture. She locked herself in the bathroom. He obtained a knife and began stabbing the bathroom door to get in. When she retreated to her daughter's bedroom, the defendant stood in the door pointing the knife at all three and threatening them. He struck the woman in the head, knocking her down and stomped on her knee. The victim got up, grabbed the children and ran to a neighbor's apartment. Law enforcement was called, and Sanders was arrested. He also has an extraditable warrant out of Florida. • Appearing in Washington County Court March 6 was Anthony A. Martinez, 54, 900 block of County Road D in Vadnais Heights. He is charged with fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle, a felony with a maximum sentence of three years and $5,000. His offense occurred in August 2017 when a Maplewood police sergeant spotted a blue Honda Accord with a rear license plate and a dealership placard where a front license plate should have been. The officer activated his emergency lights after observing several traffic violations. Instead of stopping, Martinez accelerated to a speed of 122 mph on I-694 and I-494. Because of the threat to public safety, the officer executed a pursuit intervention technique commonly referred to as a PIT maneuver, causing the Honda to spin off the road, where it rolled onto its roof. The driver was apprehended and identified as Martinez. He did not have a driver's license, had 14 prior convictions for alcohol-related driving offenses and two convictions for fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle. He also has numerous other criminal convictions that are not traffic-related.

MARCH 27, 2019

LOOKING BACK Week of March 24 – March 30, 2019

Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.

1919 We understand there is to be a meeting of farmers, and others who are interested, in a cooperative wholesale buying and selling place for all farm and garden products to be located in White Bear. The meeting is to be held at the White Bear Town Hall on the evening of March 31. Many believe that a wholesale buying place in the village would relieve the farmers of the necessity of long hauls to the cities and more farmers would come to our town to dispose of their produce in large quantities which would seem to also be of some advantage to local merchants since it is well known that a large percentage of the farmers trade now goes to the cities because there is no such market here…Remember the place and date, White Bear Town hall, Monday evening, March 31st, at 8:00 o’clock….

1944

1994

The Bear’s Den, the youth’s recreation center, is no longer in the cold. An allotment of oil has been secured for heating while the repair work and decorating is being done. The Bear’s Den is located in the Whitaker block on Third street and will be opened just as soon as all the work can be done…

Spotlight – Joyce Jacobs, White Bear Lake City Hall, Years in the city – lifelong resident of area, community involvement – currently city clerk/secretary for city manager for almost ten years.

1969 At the regular fi remen’s meeting held during the month of January, the following members were elected to their respective positions. Fire Chief, Gordon F. Vadnais, 1st Assistant Chief, Mark Peltier, 2nd Assistant Chief, Charles Kieffer, Secretary, John C. Lundgren, Treasurer, Lin Lindbeck. The department also went on record to thank the residents of White Bear Lake, and others, for their generous response to the Muscular Dystrophy campaign that is put on by the members of the WBL Fire Department every year….Help wanted – Moonlighter – Adult for evenings 6 to 10:30 p.m., Dean’s Ice Cream, 324 Washington Avenue….

Zephyrs fall in first round at state hoops, salvage one win BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mahtomedi’s first state tournament appearance since 1961 netted one victory in between two respectable losses last week. “We lost, but it was fun. Such a fun atmosphere,” senior guard Zac Centers reflected after the Class 3A first-round loss to Princeton, 68-63, at Williams Arena last Wednesday. The Zephyrs pummeled Bemidji 87-49 in the consolation bracket on Thursday at Concordia-St. Paul. “The Bemidji game was what made Zephyr games so fun to watch this year,” coach Keith Newman said. He was referring in particular to J’vonne Hadley finishing strong at the hoop — the junior guard scored 80 points at state, and made the all-tournament team — while Zac Centers nailed his three-pointers again after having an off-game at Williams, and Devin Melzer continued to cash free shots, finishing section and state 30-for-31. With a chance to place fifth, the Zephyrs lost to Holy Angels 80-73 in the consolation finals Friday, finishing with a 25-7 record.

overall, 4-for-26 on three’s, and 5-for-10 on free shots. “We played a good game. We hustled, we rebounded. But we didn’t shoot well behind the arc,” Centers said. “They got more shots to fall than we did, and they wanted it more than us on the boards at the end.” Princeton, shooting 37 percent, had admirable balance with Adam Williams sinking 17 points, James Flicek 16, Reilly O’Neil 15 and Jon Stimmler 12. The 6-7 Stimmler snagged 17 rebounds. Williams made seven assists. Mahtomedi led 33-29 before the Tigers reeled off 13 straight points, starting with one of Williams’ five 3-pointers, for a 42-33 lead. The Zephyrs kept the pressure on, pulling within 63-59 on a 3-pointer by Ricker, but missed too many shots to overtake the Tigers. Princeton, averaging 84.8 points, with four 1,000-point scorers, presented some defensive problems. “We played defense like we wanted to, except we lost their shooters more in the second half,” Newman said, “and Williams made some that hurt us.” Princeton lost in the semifinals to topranked DeLaSalle 93-54. DeLaSalle beat Waseca 63-56 in the championship game.

Princeton 68, Zephyrs 63 Think Mahtomedi had a long wait? Princeton had not been to state since 1932. In this quarterfinal duel, the school that had waited the longest got the win. The No. 4 seeded Tigers fended off the No. 5 Zephyrs 68-63 in an entertaining and hard-fought contest with each squad showcasing excellent athletic ability if not their best shooting. “We competed hard, but we were a little off our normal shooting, which leaves us with some what-ifs,” Newman said. Hadley poured in 32 points and grabbed 16 rebounds to keep Mahtomedi in it until the last half-minute. “We could have won. I definitely think we are the better team,” Hadley said. “But they were good. They prepared well for us. They knew a lot of our plays.”

Zephyrs 87, Bemidji 49 Hadley pumped in 30 points and Centers sniped for 24 points as the Zephyrs extended the season to the final day. Centers shot 8-for-12, all from outside the arc. He was 6-for-7 in the first half. Melzer notched 13 points and seven rebounds. The Zephyrs made 15 steals, led by Hadley with five, and sank 18 of 22 free shots, led by Melzer at 6-for-6.

Hadley made 14 of 25 shots, although off the mark (1-for-5) on three’s. Centers could not find the range, shooting 2-for-12 behind the arc, but went to the

hoop well enough to log 15 points and 11 rebounds. Melzer and Luke Ricker had four points each and Andrew Murphy two. The Zephyrs shot just 27-for-77

Hadley, named to the Star-Tribune’s all-metro second team, scored 18 points, shooting 7-for-10 from the floor, 3-for-8 at the line. Centers added 16 points and Sam Bell 15, with Bell 5-for-9 on three’s and Centers 4-for-11. For Holy Angels (26-5), Sam Banovetz drilled 27 points and Emmet Johnson was right behind with 23. The Stars out-rebounded the Zephyrs 41-28.

Snow Kiter: Riding the winds of winter BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Leave it to Minnesotans to take a summer toy like a kite and turn it into a winter sport. Snow kiting started in Minnesota in the late 1990s and has grown to over 600 riders in the state. In the same tundra spirit that gave us pond hockey, skiing, skating, snowmobiling and ice fi shing, snow kiting gets hardy souls out of the house and into the frigid air, under a massive kite that pulls you, quite rapidly, on skis or snowboard. One of the state’s top snow kiters is White Bear Lake businessman Michael Kratochwill, who also makes this sport a big part of his business, Lakawa Board Shop. “It costs a few thousand dollars,” Kratchowill said, slipping into salesman mode, “but you can kite race in the summer, too, on the water, so I think it is a great return on your investment, compared to, say, owning a boat, or snowmobile, because you can kite year-round.” Kratchowill is a four-time winner of the state’s biggest race, the Mille Lacs Kite Crossing, held March 1-3 this year with 65 participants in four events. His event is a grueling 28-mile trek out and back. He didn’t win this year, placing fourth. “I’m getting older and other guys are getting better,” he grinned. “I was glad to take fourth.” The 50-year-old native of Elbow Lake was a basketball and track athlete in high school and college. His best track event was high-jumping. He still airs it out as a snow kiter; you can hoist yourself several feet in the air if you want to show off. Two riders from White Bear Lake were among the leaders at Mille Lacs. Patrick Levins, a freshman, won Juniors for the second time. Mark Dunsworth, also very active in sailing, placed third in the Foil division. Kratchowill, who lives in Maple Grove, has also won a race in Quebec, and travels to Montana, Utah and Wyoming to race. Snow kiting is not limited to frozen lakes. Mountains are fun, too. Kratchowill has traveled to Norway the past two years for an endurance event where they “scale seven mountain tops.” As a businessman, he has hosted a race at Lake Waconia each year since 2015. “Last year I adopted a style of race that I prefer, which is more tactical and less physical,” he said. The St. Thomas graduate was in corporate marketing with a fi rm called Learn to Swim, before deciding to cast his fate to the winds with Lakawa Board Shop, near the old Public Works at 1890 Whitaker St. “We focus on kiting, snow kiting, and kite surfi ng,” he said. Kratchowill also teaches snow kiting. He wants to stress that, unlike a lot of sports, being big and tough is not much of an advantage; what’s important is learning technique. “Kids and women are better students of kite racing,” he said, “because, unlike athletic men, they don’t rely on strength. It is a fitness sport but does not require athleticism.”

Zephyr Nordic: Team numbers growing What a fantastic year for the Zephyr Nordic ski team. We started out the year by growing more than 25 percent from last year. The addition of so many new, young skiers to our team is very exciting. In addition to this, our team was honored to be awarded a grant from the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation to aid us in our effort to spread a love of the sport among young athletes. This grant helps us maintain trails on Mahtomedi property, bring our athletes to the Birkebeiner trails for training camp, and add to our fundraising for new uniforms for next year. As the season progressed, our

skiers, led by captains Sophia Gunn, Abby Halverson, Kieran Viggiano, and Luigi Viggiano, worked hard and their performance in races showed it. At the Mesabi Invitational in January, our team put in a great showing with Makayla Fischer as our top placing skier, finishing 48th out of 139 skiers. The team’s hard work came to a head at the Metro-East Conference Championship on Jan. 1. Our girls team came in first with three achieving all-conference titles - Makayla Fischer (3rd), Lauren Whiterabbit (6th), Sarah Brings (7th) – and the rest of our skiers finishing in the top 25 with those in the top 20 earning all-con-

ference honorable mention – Liz Hansen (11th), Maya Tarnowski (13th), Mickenna Affolter (15th), Jenna Halverson (16th), Abigail Brown (17th), and Abby Halverson (21st ). The boys team, though very young, put in a great showing, earning a fourth place spot. They finished as follows: Luigi Viggiano (10th place and all-conference), Max Nelson (14th and All-conference Honorable Mention), Kieran Viggiano (15th and all-conference honorable mention), Joey Newman (27th), Owen Affolter (28th), Luke Larson (31st), and Jonny Nelson (38th).

Lake Links Trail celebration covers bells and whistles WHITE BEAR LAKE —The Lake Links Association celebrated its second birthday earlier this month with a birthday party at the Best Western Country Inn. Nearly 100 community members, elected officials and local business owners gathered March 11 to celebrate Lake Links’ progress on a safe walking, biking and wheelchair route through the communities surrounding White Bear Lake. Association co-chairs Steve Wolgamot and Mike Brooks updated plans to complete Mahtomedi and Birchwood segments of the trail this summer. Sen. Chuck Wiger summarized ongoing bipartisan efforts to secure funds for remaining sections along highways 96 and 244 on the north and east shores. And nearly a dozen area residents shared personal testimonials on the value of the trail for building community, promoting safety and health, and increasing property values. The event was made possible by donations from Bill Foussard, The White Bear Country Inn, and numerous friends of Lake Links. Co-chair Wolgamot's take on the birthday party: “Oh boy, was that fun!” Safety was part of the presentation by Wolgamot and Brooks. The pair explained that conditions that give rise to a high likelihood of fatalities are narrow shoulders, high speeds, poor sightlines and high traffic counts. Some or all of these conditions exist at five places around the lake, according to the association: • Birchwood Road in Mahtomedi. This will be fixed under current funding, with two narrowed lanes and a trail separated by a surmountable curb as on Lake Avenue. Expected to be completed fall of 2019. • Grove Park. The north end of Mahtomedi and the beginning of Dellwood is characterized by curves, hills and lack of shoulders. This will be corrected in 2019 by diversion to Streetcar Trail, Briarwood Avenue and the Burlington Northern right of way. • South Shore Boulevard, primarily between MN 120 and McKnight. This area has received $2.6 million of funding and Ramsey County will be completing it, hopefully in 2020. • Dellwood Avenue between Meadow Street and the county line. This area is characterized by hills, curves, no shoulders and high traffic — nearly 5,000 cars per day. Preliminary engineering has been done by WSB. Also, MnDOT surveying has documented the existence of substantial right of way on the lake

side. Funding is not yet secured for this section. • MN 96 in White Bear Township and White Bear Lake. SEH engineering is completing preliminary engineering for this section under a contract with White Bear Township and White Bear Lake. Funding for the engineering was provided by the Legislature with Lakes Links Association’s encouragement. In this area there will be separated trail elements on publicly owned land; and sidetrail areas on land owned by MnDOT. In areas of limited MnDOT right of way, negotiation with landowners will be required. Those discussions will begin when there is consensus, among both municipalities and MnDOT, about what can be done. Sen. Wiger told the group that the element of greatest importance to completing the project is community support and expectations, which he viewed as being in place. He mentioned that the Capital Investment committee, of which he is a member, has not yet met, which makes it more difficult to obtain funding in this session for completion of the balance of the trail. He said that he is considerably more optimistic about the next session.

Additional trail amenities privately funded The co-chairs pointed out additional privately funded amenities around the lake that will be part of the project: • Incident reporting: Ian Harding, Lake Links web-

master and technical guru, explained a new incident reporting system. Accidents that result in no injuries or are simply “near misses” are not reported in the official statistics. “It is important that we note these when they occur, which they do frequently, so that the dangers of these locations are not overlooked,” Wolgamot noted. “A reporting system is now installed on the www.Lakelinks.net website. We encourage anyone to report any incidents or near misses, as these will be important in documenting the need for improvements.” • Rest stop and pavilion at Bellaire Park. This structure, built to resemble an 1880’s train depot, will include a bike repair station, information kiosk and a bike rack in the outline of the William S. Crooks, Minnesota’s first steam engine. Saputo Corporation is the anticipated primary sponsor with ground work and location contributed by White Bear Township. • Wooden covered bridge at Streetcar Park. This structure will span Depot Creek in Streetcar Park, connecting Briarwood Avenue, Tamarack Street and Streetcar Trail. Principal sponsors of the project are Dan and Karen Runze of Mahtomedi, in memory of their son Griffin. Local businesses have embraced the project as well. Larson Engineering of White Bear Lake is providing the engineering; Goliath Tech will donate helical pile footings for the bridge; Sharkey Design Build of Stillwater will do the assembly; Wagners CFT of Queensland, Australia will supply the decking for the bridge; White Bear Boat Works will supply steel cable elements for railings; volunteers from the neighborhood near the bridge will do pre-assembly of some components; and White Bear Lift & Dock will perform miscellaneous metal reinforcing fabrication. “We are enormously grateful to the Runzes for sponsoring this project, which will be a beautiful addition to the trail and to Mahtomedi,” added Wolgamot. • Historic Spur Trails/ Phone Apps. GIS-based phone apps are in the works that will include much of the history and scenery around White Bear Lake. These will include the Chautauqua area of Mahtomedi; the Wildwood Amusement Park area; and the hotel, resort and early settlement history of the City of White Bear Lake. All of these will be subsets of an overall app covering the entire primary Lake Links Trail and Route. Submitted

half of their property and sell it off, City Attorney Jay Karlovich said. After the Ostlers fi led a special assessment appeal in court, the Ostlers and the city negotiated a proposal to resolve the dispute. The city reduced the assessment for Lot 2 by $3,500 to $22,500 and deferred the assessment 29 years from the original September 2018 assessment date. If the Ostlers subdivide during the 29-year deferral period, they will pay the $22,500 plus 2.9 percent interest. If the Ostlers do not subdivide the property, the assessment and interest will lapse and not be collected. This goal is meant to be fair to landowners to maintain the option of not developing their property instead of forcing it to be developed, “which seems reasonable to me,” Councilman Steve Wolgamot said. • Following interviews with applicants for open seats on advisory commissions, approved the three-year appointments of Scott Peterson for the Environmental Commission, Greg Maples for the Planning Commission, Jeff Charlesworth and Jessie Thompson for the Parks Commission and Austin Raebel for the Finance Commission. Open seats remain on all four commissions, Marshall said. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

Burden of court costs falls on former Grant councilmen STILLWATER — A Washington County judge slapped hefty sanctions on two former Grant City Council members for pursuing litigation she described as “frivolous and malicious” against the mayor and other city officials. Attorney Paul Reuvers, who represented the city of Grant on behalf of the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, issued a March 19 press release indicating Judge Laura Pietan agreed that Larry Lanoux and Loren Sederstrom’s actions warranted payment to the city in the amount of $66,513. The city and its officials sought and obtained an order against Lanoux and Sederstrom after a judge dismissed a lawsuit fi led

last October claiming an open meeting law violation occurred following a 2017 Planning Commission meeting. Named in that suit were Mayor Jeff Huber, City Administrator Kim Points, and members of the council and Planning Commission. Judge Pietan scolded the two former councilmen, writing that the action was frivolous and without merit, and adding that they made a “strained attempt to create a fact issue” with absolutely no evidence. The two men were represented by attorney Allison Eklund. The judge noted that Lanoux and Sederstrom requested personal fi nes against defendant Points for refusal to post notice of special meetings. That allega-

tion was also dismissed. Defendant Sederstrom said he was “shocked” by the sanctions. “This is not a done deal. We will appeal.” Sederstrom pointed out the city officials incurred no legal costs because the League represented them. “I don’t understand how they can recover damages when they didn’t spend any money,” he said. Reuvers, a partner in the Bloomington fi rm of Iverson Reuvers Condon, wrote that “city officials are pleased they can now focus their efforts on the important issues facing residents and trust the imposition of sanctions will stop further harassing and costly litigation tactics.” Debra Neutkens
