It takes a village to become a city

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Adding the word “Lake” to the Village of White Bear was hotly contested back in 1921.

Residents were accustomed to a name without “Lake” and as everyone knows, change is hard.

Opposition was voiced in the newspaper's Letters to the Editor, but ignored. The city charter was adopted and White Bear Lake became incorporated.

That interesting hint of dra-

ma was part of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society's new program, “A Village is Born.” Executive Director Sara Hanson presented the lesson in history last month at the White Bear library.

When White Bear Lake became an entity in 1921, the city had a population of 2,000 in a 2.25-square-mile area.

Its first mayor was a lawyer named Earl Jackson who won a tie-breaker against opponent Peter Fournelle, a downtown businessman.

Forty years earlier when

the Village of White Bear was founded, about 435 people lived in the area between White Bear and Goose lakes.

Surrounding the village was White Bear Township, which was 36 square miles when formed in 1858, the same year Minnesota became a state.

Over the last 150-plus years, there have been at least 80 incorporations and annexations from the township, Hanson said. Today, the township is a quarter of its size in 1858.

Wanted: Civic-minded people with green thumbs Giving Gardens is looking for people with green thumbs who want to have an impact in the community.

Founder and Executive Director Christopher Harms describes Giving Gardens as a nonprofit organization that works to raise community awareness of barriers faced by area residents in accessing fresh produce.

“Awareness is raised by people, a few churches, and even a business or two (Indulge Salon) in the White Bear Area community getting involved by adopting a 4x8-foot raised bed garden from Giving Gardens, and then growing and harvesting produce for a majority donation to a local food shelf or the White Bear Senior Program,” Harms explained.

Giving Gardens began its operations in spring 2017 by offering 50 raised bed gardens to community members at no cost. By the end of 2017, there were 105 garden beds installed in the community, waiting to grow for the common good in 2018. Giving Gardens provides all materials to those who adopt a Giving Garden bed, including lumber, dirt, compost, seed and/or started plants to start growing produce. Giving Gardens then expects its growers to donate 51 percent or more of the produce harvested to a local food shelf or partnered community service program. What is perhaps most impressive, Harms added, is the garden bed is delivered to the adoptive grower’s home and completely installed.

Spring and summer 2018 are set to be a busy time for Giving Gardens, full of potential for growth.

Giving Gardens is rolling out a plan

SUBMITTED

The raised bed gardens provided by the non-profit are 4x8 feet.

to deliver and install 100 garden beds at homes whose residents wish to adopt them in the community. Harms expects the rest of the garden beds to be reserved quickly, so those who are interested shouldn’t wait to contact Giving Gardens.

For residents who live on Fourth Street or Birch Lake Avenue in White Bear Lake, Giving Gardens is looking for “front yard gardeners” to adopt garden beds to not only raise produce, but serve as a visible point of awareness for neighbors.

“The Fourth Street/Birch Lake Avenue Front Yard Initiative will be a great conversation starter for neighbors, but will also be a point of community beautification,” Harms said. “What could be

better than that?”

Harms makes it clear that Giving Gardens needs community support to make these goals a reality. He offers three ways that folks can help Giving Gardens in its mission to serve the community: 1. Make a monetary donation. “Every dollar goes an incredibly long way, and contributions of any size are welcome. I really don’t like asking for money, but put simply, we can’t operate if we don’t have donation support,” Harms maintained. Giving Gardens has initiated a fundraising campaign with a goal subset of raising $7,500 from new donors.

2. To make a monetary donation,

visit www.givinggardensmn.org or mail a check to P.O. Box 10626, White Bear Lake, MN 55110. Please make checks payable to the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation, with Giving Gardens in the memo line.

3. Adopt a garden bed. If you want to join Giving Gardens by adopting a raised bed garden, email givinggardensmn@gmail.com or visit givinggardensmn.org and go to the volunteer tab.

4. Volunteer. Giving Gardens has needs for volunteers in many different areas and is waiting for you to bring your strengths and interests.

Giving Gardens' spring 2018 delivery event will take place the weekend of May 18-20.

Giving Gardens needs volunteers to: form delivery crews that will carry lumber, assemble bed structure, shovel dirt, wheelbarrow dirt, etc.; staff the delivery event to coordinate volunteers at the delivery staging site; manage logistics of food delivery and setup, and other light manual labor roles.

Trucks and trailers are also needed.

If you have a pickup truck, but don’t want to or can’t participate in the manual labor, do not be deterred. Trucks and drivers are needed to haul the trailers with the dirt and lumber structure.

Delivery crews will follow to the installation site to perform installation tasks.

Anyone with a landscape trailer they will volunteer is much appreciated.

Dellwood music festival returns for repeat performance Last year's Dellwood Country Fest was such a hit, organizers are doing it again — only this year there are even more acts to take the outdoor stage.

Music promoter Shawn McIntyre, owner of White Bear Productions, looks for unique venues and opportunities and Dellwood County Club fit the criteria perfectly with its multi-tiered driving range. “So many concerts and festivals are in a muddy field. We wanted an outdoor facility that was green and lush with great sight lines,” he said. “Dellwood delivered.”

The private golf course will close for the event, which is expected to attract up to 4,000 country music fans.

McIntyre is friends with owner Tim Lawin and the two had a “brain meld” when first discussing a music festival in 2016.

“I was looking for venues in the area and Tim wanted to do a community-based music event,” McIntyre said.

He figures the inaugural festival drew about 2,000 people last July.

The concert has morphed from last year's production, which headlined Big and Rich, to a lineup that includes four national acts: country artist Joe Nichols, who's had a number of top 10 hits; the Nashville duo High Valley, who sings “She's With Me”; Texas singer/songwriter Granger Smith and, returning this year, singer/songwriter Joe Denim. The Devon Worley Band, a Minnesota-based group, will open.

The music producer knows the area well. McIntyre has lived in Mahtomedi with wife Krisann for 17 years and has children in the school district. His married daughter Allison does a lot of the social media, webbased promotions through her brand management company, Tradition Media.

“The festival is local and it's super cool,” noted McIntyre. “We're not trying to hold the next Woodstock. It's a family-friendly atmosphere and people don't have to stand in long lines. We hold raffles and a meet-and-greet with the artists. It's a giving back type of thing, too, with a portion of the proceeds going to local sports groups.”

Last year, money went to the Mahtomedi Youth Hockey Association, which provided some of the volunteers.

Now the only hitch is weather. It was 85 degrees and sunny in 2017. “That's why we picked this weekend,” added McIntyre. “Statistically, it is the best weather week of the year in Minnesota. We tried to put the odds in our favor.”

For more information on the 2018 Music Fest, 3 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, July 21, see www.dellwoodfest.com. Tickets start at $45. All parking is at Century College unless a VIP parking pass is purchased.

Credit where credit is due

I

In my fi rst year of college in St. Paul, I spent many hours riding the bike I’d brought to campus. It was invaluable whenever classwork became overwhelming, or I was tired of the cramped spaces in my dorm. One night I left it chained to the rack outside, and woke up in the morning to fi nd it had been stolen.

Anyone who has had anything physically stolen from them knows the outrage and disappointment that goes along with a theft. In today’s Information Age, that extends to a theft of property that is even more difficult to protect.

Written and visual media—both in print and online—are protected by copyright law. Whether its a written article or a photo you took, in most cases you are automatically the owner. But if you post it online, Getting that often will not stop someone in Tune from taking and using your work giving credit.

Jackie Bussjaeger without In the newsroom, we do our best to give credit for every form of media we use. We want it to be clear who and where our information comes from. This extends from the interviews in our articles to the photographers who send us snapshots for our Spotted section.

Copyright protection is the reason all of the articles written by our reporters are completely original. We recently had a conversation in the newsroom about how this can be confusing. Sometimes sources send us articles that have been previously written about their business or initiative, asking if we can reprint it. The idea makes sense, since it would save a lot of time. But the answer is: we can’t, because it would be a violation of copyright law.

You might notice that the Pioneer Press occasionally prints the exact same story from the front page of the New York Times. The Pioneer Press, along with hundreds of newspapers across our country, are members of the Associated Press (AP), which means they can share articles. This partnership allows small papers to get easy access to national and international news topics, and allows large papers to scoop up viral stories born in Hometown U.S.A. Press Publications is not a member of AP, which has pros and cons. We have to produce most of our own original stories by doing the legwork ourselves, which means a little more work for us. This is beneficial to communities because it offers an alternative perspective to news sources that might reuse the same story across multiple publications.

If we do publish something that we didn’t create ourselves, it’s probably a press release. Organizations that send out press releases often send them to multiple news sources to get the word out.

Sometimes you’ll see the same press release in two completely unrelated newspapers, but we always indicate when we are using one.

Original content is our specialty, and provides a valuable resource in an era when news aggregators are becoming bigger and bigger conglomerates—or during the rise in independent bloggers who don’t adequately cite their sources. We want you to know where your information is coming from, and we encourage you to become a subscriber. We love our communities and appreciate all of your support.

I have to tell the end of my bike story, because it’s sort of funny. The weekend after my bike was stolen, my college held a bike maintenance workshop and raffle. The grand prize was a new bike. I figured it was worth a shot, so I bought a raffle ticket. A few days later, I learned I’d won a prize. I was overjoyed—until I went to pick it up. It turned out to be the second-place prize: a brand new heavy-duty U-lock.

It was an insulting turn of irony, but pretty amusing in retrospect. I’ve almost gotten over it by now.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Support investment in IB programs

ISD 624 should continue its districtwide investment in the International Baccalaureate (IB) programs.

While IB offers the academic rigor that helps our students meet or exceed Minnesota graduation standards, its holistic method best prepares our students for the future.

Our students are wholly engaged with IB’s student-driven learning. Learning is multidisciplinary and fosters critical thinking, mirroring the needs of our future economy. In addition to ensuring the academic growth of each learner, IB also takes a whole-child approach that provides for their social and emotional well-being. IB includes an emphasis on the arts, which provides both school-life balance and space for great ideas. IB learner profiles facilitate a community of inclusion, which is especially important for our students of color and other affinity groups.

And IB encourages student-driven service learning.

When my children were 8 and 6, they decided to have a lemonade stand to raise money for a well in South Sudan to help other kids go to school instead of carrying water; I’ve seen many other IB students take similar action.

Additionally, IB offers a common language for teachers, students and parents/guardians to collaborate on these different aspects of learning and help our students grow to become innovative workers, involved citizens and good neighbors.

The recent CAREI report indicates all stakeholders agree IB has been successfully implemented in our districtwide elementary school (Matoska). I urge the district to remain fully invested in this thriving school available to families throughout our district.

Because of Matoska’s success, the district should also consider expanding IB to more elementary schools in our district.

IB implementation in our middle schools is very new, and the CAREI report has identified opportunities for improvement, not just with IB implementation, but with the schools overall. I urge the district to preserve our investment in IB while deeply examining the various needs of our middle school students.

We object to the suggestion for a one-way on Bald Eagle Boulevard. A one-way thoroughfare around Bald Eagle Lake would create significant problems for residents living on the boulevards and adjoining neighborhoods. We have lived on West Bald Eagle

OBITUARY NOTICE

Richard “Dick” Svoboda Passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family.

Dick is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Barbara “Bobbi”; his children, David (Lori), Karen (Mark) Ryan, Robin (Jeff) Savage, and Tracey (Ron) Cole; 9 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

Dick was a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy. He was a volunteer at the Dorothy Day Center and a member of the IBEW Local 110.

Blvd. for over 30 years. During that time we and our children and grandchildren have walked, run and biked around the lake without fear.

Our daughter and her family lives on East Bald Eagle Blvd. We are back and forth multiple times every week and sometimes every day. We occasionally encounter walkers and bikers. To our knowledge in all the years we have lived on Bald Eagle Blvd. there has never been an accident involving a pedestrian or biker and a car. There are beautiful trails in the Tamarack Nature Center for people who are very concerned about road safety when walking.

The possibility of making the boulevard a oneway was explored at least 16 years ago and found not workable. DOT studies on one-way streets found that two lanes suppress speeding compared to one- way streets. No oncoming traffic on one-way streets lets drivers feel more confident in going faster, not slower, making it less safe.

Concerns for the ability of emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks to quickly reach addresses on the boulevards are another primary objection to making the boulevards one-way. School bus routes would also be impacted. Objections to widening the shoulder include the necessity of removing numerous trees which are in the way. The one-way on the boulevard would also drive traffic into adjoining neighborhoods as residents attempt to find their way to downtown White Bear Lake or Highway 61.

Instead of disrupting current traffic patterns, perhaps we could use signage to keep drivers alert for pedestrians, consider using solar-powered electronic speed limit signs to increase awareness of individual driver’s speed, and enforce existing speed limits especially during morning and evening commutes.

We oppose even a trial one-way on the boulevard.

This is an unnecessary and expensive experiment that creates more problems than it solves.

Preventing gun violence

After researching and reading multiple points of view, it is obvious that preventing gun violence is a complex issue. But gun violence affects us all.

Students are afraid of going to school and everyone of attending concerts or sporting events, or visiting shopping malls. In the following suggestions, there is something everybody can do to make our world safer.

• Ban assault weapons that were designed to kill as many people as possible in a short period of time.

• When guns are part of one's culture, make sure ev-

eryone knows how to shoot and store guns safely.

• Understand the consequences of the violence seen on TV, movies and video games. Everyone seen killed has a family or loved one.

• Extend a hand to those who are isolated or bullied.

Carol Pierce, M.D. White Bear Lake

Thumbs down on Bald Eagle one-way

To think that we could simply make Bald Eagle Boulevard one-way to appease some pedestrian walkers, bicyclists and homeowners is absurd. The impact on ALL of the other narrow side streets would be a nightmare.

If the boulevard turns into a one-way, what east/ west street do you think will pick up ALL of the redirected traffic? You guessed it, Stillwater Street. I live on it.

Other than the boulevard, Stillwater Street is the only east/west thru street for over a half mile until you get to Ninth Street. I'm sure the school would enjoy the redirected traffic.

The boulevard had recently been upgraded to allow a small designated path for pedestrians to use. It works perfectly. I walk on it myself. I also drive on the voulevard twice a day every day, back and forth to work. I encounter walkers on it all the time; give them a little courtesy yield and we're both good.

If I might make a suggestion, the walking path needs to have the shrubbery and branches cleared up and over for an unobstructed width for the entire walkway. Many places along the walkway require walkers to veer off the path onto the driving lane because of shrub protrusions.

We know speeding is a factor for safe pedestrian travel, so lower the limit to 20 mph and put permanent flashing radar speed signs that turn red for speeders.

Contract police with radar traps to enforce. (Look at how well the speed is controlled in Centerville on County 14 at 35 mph.)

We share two-way traffic now, and by looking at the conditions of both our roads, the evidence is obvious.

They are in terrible shape. They need infrastructure sewer/curbing to control the street water or they will always be under repair.

Let's do a thumbs up/thumbs down study from all of the lakeshore owners and see if they're willing to give up 10 feet of their front yard property to allow widening the road for this walkway. Let's take care of the problem right where it is.

City councilman pleads not guilty to violating no-contact order VADNAIS HEIGHTS — A city councilman pleaded not guilty to charges of violating a domestic abuse no-contact order earlier this month.

Terry Nyblom was charged with the violation in January, days before he was sentenced to probation for disorderly conduct in an incident related to the individual with the no-contact order, according to court documents.

The woman reported to police officers that Nyblom allegedly called and texted her in January.

The no-contact order has been in place since the disorderly conduct incident last spring. The order prohibits Nyblom from having any contact with the woman who reported his disorderly conduct. Terms of Nyblom's probation include not violating the order.

Nyblom's attorney, Beau McGraw, has stated he would not make any comments on the current charge. A pretrial hearing is scheduled April 2, when evidence will be reviewed and plea negotiations will be discussed, according to court documents.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Sheriff’s office recruiting reserve deputies

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office is recruiting reserve deputy volunteers for its water patrol unit. An academy will be held in late April. The water patrol unit patrols parks and lakes, assists with events, conducts water safety inspections and responds to emergency calls. Applications must be received by April 1. Find full details, requirements and application materials at www. ramseycounty.us or call 651-2667300.

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

Vadnais Heights • Employees discovered the brake lines on three semitrailers severed March 14 behind a manufacturing plant in the 1200 block of Willow Lake Boulevard. Repairs were estimated at $350-500. No suspects.

• Target security folks kept their eyes on a known shoplifter the afternoon of March 14, watching her switch the price tags on a baby carrier from $179 to $11 as well as pocketing several Fitbits valued at $630. The 31-year-old Pine City woman was collared as she left the store in the 900 block of County Road E and was booked into the Ramsey County Jail.

• The driver of a tow truck that picked up a vehicle in a no-parking zone in the 3200 block of Highway 61 just before midnight March 14, stopped so he could adjust the load and was confronted by the owner of the towed vehicle. The tow truck driver said he could unhook the car if the 37-year-old St. Paul man paid a $285 “drop fee.” That didn’t sit well with the St. Paul man. The 32-year-old tow truck driver began to call 911 but the car owner slapped the phone out of his hand. Just then, the tow truck driver’s girlfriend arrived on the scene, joining the verbal fray. The tow truck driver then retrieved his phone, grabbed his truck keys, climbed into his girlfriend’s car and fled the scene. Several charges, including gross-misdemeanor 911 call interference and disorderly conduct, are under review.

• A pair of stepbrothers, one wheelchair-bound with muscular dystrophy, decided to head downtown on St. Patrick’s Day to knock back a few. On the way, the men, both 26, each bought a jug of whiskey to take along and soon got into a heated discussion involving family issues. One stepbrother knocked the stepbrother in the wheelchair over. That got nearby revelers' attention; deputies arrived and the aggressor was jailed on a felony assault charge.

• A 23-year-old daughter from out of town came to

visit her father, age 61, on Hawes Avenue March 18.

The visit did not go well. An argument over whether to fire up the basement fireplace occurred. Dad, who has serious medical issues but also has a history of physical abuse, tackled his daughter, tearing her sweatshirt. She called 911 and Dad went to jail on charges of domestic assault, fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct.

• A driver was pulled over for speeding just after midnight March 18 at Highway 96 and Rice Street.

The 47-year-old Mounds View man, who did not do well on the field sobriety tests, was booked into jail on a fourth-degree DWI charge.

• A pair of students at the Academy for Science and Agriculture on Vadnais Boulevard thought it would be funny to scare staff and other students on March 20 by screaming and yelling that there was an active shooter in school. After things calmed down a bit, the two were given a serious talking-to by the school resource officer.

White Bear Township • A red fox dragging its hind legs with an obvious spinal injury at West Avenue and Bald Eagle Boulevard on March 14 was dispatched by a DNR conservation officer.

• A 911 call from a neighbor at 8:30 a.m. March 15 alerted authorities to a dog that had been whining and crying outside a residence in the 1900 block of Stillwater Street since 2 a.m. The owners were not able to be contacted. The Golden Retriever was on a deck covered with snow and feces with no shelter. The temperature outside at the time was 19 degrees above zero. The case was turned over to St. Paul Animal Control for investigation of possible animal neglect.

• A vehicle stopped in the 4800 block of Centerville Road on March 15 contained three occupants, the odor of alcohol, a bottle of liquor and a filet knife in a sheath. The rear passenger, a 34-year-old White Bear Lake man, was wanted on a Mower County felony warrant for his arrest and booked into jail.

• A work trailer at the site of an animal hospital

under construction in the 5900 block of Highway 61 was broken into over the weekend of March 16. Two air compressors and a variety of hand and power tools went missing. The loss was estimated at just under $25,000. No suspects.

• A shipping container at a job site on Pine Hill Lane was broken into over the weekend of March 16. A pair of pricey laser levels, batteries and power tools totaling $2,800 went missing. No suspects.

• North St. Paul Police stopped and arrested a 26-year-old Maplewood man March 18 who was wanted for making terroristic threats and posting other disturbing material on Facebook, including a photo of a handgun. The man, who has a long criminal history of illegal activities including criminal sexual conduct, escape from custody and felony in possession of a firearm, was booked into jail.

• Deputies investigated a domestic incident on Fisher Lane around midnight on March 18 after receiving a call from one of two victims, a 43-year-old mother or her 18-year-old daughter. The suspect, age and gender not released due to requirements of the state’s Data Practices Act, was transported to the county juvenile detention center on pending charges, which included criminal damage to property.

• A 31-year-old Red Pine Boulevard homeowner expressed his concerns to authorities March 19 after a man whom he had not seen in 10 years showed up at his workplace. The man also approached the homeowner in his yard the next evening asking about the $3,800 he said the homeowner owes him.

The homeowner said he has no idea of what the man is talking about and has not seen him since.

• Dad arrived at his ex-girlfriend’s place on Otter Lake Road the afternoon of March 20 to visit their son. Dad wanted to videotape the visit and while the camera was running, was as nice as he could be. Once the camera was off however, the 40-yearold man slapped his child's mother and harassed her over family issues. After he left, the 33-year-old woman reported the incident. That report was forwarded to the city attorney for possible charging.

Taxpayers won’t ante up for lake district this year

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Deciding it can live within its means, the White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) board will rescind municipal assessments for 2018.

That means about $75,000 — the amount assessed to the five municipalities surrounding the lake —will be returned to community coffers.

The board of directors agreed March 20 to cancel this year's assessment since its fund balance was 258 percent of its budget. Last year, the WBLCD passed a new policy to keep reserves between 150 and 200 percent of a $95,000 budget.

City of White Bear Lake Director Mike Parenteau made the motion to rescind.

“It sounds like a drastic move, but we should go without an assessment this year to get our house in order,” he told the board.

Most of the assessment amount, or 45 percent, is paid by the city of White Bear Lake. The remaining 55 percent is divided among Birchwood, Dellwood, Mahtomedi and White Bear Township according to population and tax base.

White Bear Lake's other board representative, Scott Costello, said the district will still have about $80,000 for contingencies. Chairman Bryan

DeSmet assured members there are suffi cient funds to handle unforeseen items like invasive species control.

White Bear Lake Mayor Jo Emerson sent a letter to the board March 14 commending the district for its careful management of expenditures but expressing concern with its reserves balance.

The city asked that the district draw down its reserve funds for 2018 and revisit its fund balance policy. The village of Birchwood also supported the city's position in a letter.

In other action, the volunteer board (minus four absent members) approved the following: • Gave attorney Alan Kantrud a raise, effective April 1. Instead of an hourly rate, the district counsel will be paid $1,000 per-month retainer.

Kantrud currently receives a stipend of about $7,000 per year. The increase will cover time spent on litigation, if needed, and legislative matters; something Kantrud felt was fair.

• Heard a lake quality report from committee chair Parenteau.

Eurasian watermilfoil treatment was less than effective last year, so the board will be considering recommendations from “lake doctor” Steve McComas, he said. One option is to use two applications, which means twice the cost,

or a higher concentration of product.

• Appointed community members to committees.

The lake level resolution committee has been reactivated and will include nonboard members Mike Downing, Bill Foussard, Paul Bolstad and Margaret Behrens. Mahtomedi director Geoff Ratte will chair. Jay Rendall will serve on the lake quality committee and George St. Germain and Luke Michaud will serve on the lake utilization committee chaired by Mahtomedi Director Mark Ganz.

• Under public comment, Susie Mahoney stepped down from the dais as Birchwood director to address the board as a resident.

The Lake Avenue homeowner held up a piece of paper that she said was not a certifi ed document showing lake frontage for the Harrods, who live next door to the Mahoneys. The Harrods were asked in July by the district to provide a certified document to prove their frontage, a number they say is about 43 feet. “This document is not acceptable,” Mahoney said, “and we are wondering what the board plans to do about it.” The two parties have been involved in an ongoing dock dispute for several years.

The dock placement matter will be on the April 17 agenda.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — The City Council conducted the following business at its March 20 meeting: • Approved the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for adjacent community review after council members suggested wording changes. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its March 14 meeting and recommended unanimous approval. The next steps will involve a six-month process for adjacent communities and other agencies to review the plan. Comments may be received about the plan before it goes to the Metropolitan Council.

Adoption is expected to take place by the end of this year.

• Rezoned properties generally located in the Quail Street and Briarwood Avenue area from RR-rural residential to R1C low density residential. The rezoning was requested because utilities were extended to the area, City Planner Erin Perdu said. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its March 14 meeting. After receiving no objections, the commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning.

• Appointed five new members to

advisory commissions: Chantell Knauss and Susan Stewart to the Planning Commission; Charles Lindberg and Ross Metz to the Parks Commission, and Mike Chevalier to the Environmental Commission. All appointments are three-year terms. Two openings remain on the Parks Commission, two on the Finance Commission and one on the Environmental Commission.

• Considered bids and awarded the contract for the Briarwood area improvements and Quail Street utility extension to lowest bidder of four, T. A. Schifsky and Sons Inc. of North St. Paul, in the amount of $937,200. “A terrifi c price on asphalt this year led to bids being lower than usual this year,” Sachi said. “Bid prices are not as low as they were last year, when asphalt prices were ridiculously low,” he noted.

• Considered bids and awarded the contract for the Hickory Street improvements to the lowest bidder of five, Douglas-Kerr Underground LLC of Mora, in the amount of $349,900.

• Passed a resolution supporting

Lions plant community seeds in countless ways

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

The Soldier's Memorial flagpole along Hwy. 61 is one of the more visible service projects of the White Bear Lions Club.

Most of what they do is behind the scenes.

Lions Clubs are made up of civic-minded volunteers who work to benefit the community. Its members, who always address each other with the prefix Lion, raise money to provide eyeglasses and hearing aids for seniors, and financial support to youth sports organizations, for student scholarships, and to myriad other nonprofits like the area food shelf.

The Lions buy Girl Scout cookies for the troops and dictionaries for third-graders. They provide diabetes screening at Marketfest and run the concessions stand at Bear football games. Last year, the White Bear Lake Lions raised about $85,000 through charitable gambling, its annual March musical production and the Bear Water Run in September. Every dime goes back to the community.

Lion Doug Shepard is secretary of the White Bear Club, a position he's held for 15 years. He provided some history of the club, chartered in 1945 with 20 men who quickly picked their first service project: lights at the high school athletic field so games could be played at night. A year later, the club produced its first minstrel show, writing and acting in the stage production, a tradition that continues today.

The annual Lions Show is so popular, Shepard said, that new members join just so they can be part of the act.

Today, membership hovers at 76, down significantly from 115 in the late '80s, with a growing number of female members. “We are getting more husbands and wives,” noted Shepard, who joined the Lions in 1992. Despite the downward trend, he added, the club remains just as active as in earlier years and the couples make for a “family-type club.” Shepard's wife Rene is a Lion, as is their son Mike and daughter-in-law Noreen.

Much of club revenue comes from

pull-tabs at three White Bear locations: Beartown, the 617 Lounge and Carbone's Pizza. Expenditures include a $1,000 per month check to the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf and three $2,500 scholarships to graduating seniors. The club no longer runs the Lionmobile, which cost $2,000 a month to operate, so it has that money for other endeavors.

Lion Lynn Farley is spearheading the Soldier’s Memorial flagpole project.

The club foundation launched a fundraiser to restore the historic landmark at Third Street and Hwy. 61 last year, and has raised $33,000 to date, more than halfway to the $61,000 goal.

With some “guaranteed money” coming in, the project is paid for, Farley said. Restoration work will begin after Memorial Day with a rededication planned on Veterans Day, 2018.

Wildwood Lions Club almost as old

Like the White Bear club, the 61-yearold Wildwood club is always looking for new members.

At 38, Lion Nick Marshall is its youngest president. He lives in Stillwater, but was born and raised in Mahtomedi. “My heart and passion are still in Mahtomedi,” he said. Geography isn't an issue since the Wildwood club serves a wide swath around the 55115 zip code.

Membership numbers have stayed somewhat consistent in the mid 50s, but “it's an older club, so we lose people,” Marshall said. If the name sounds familiar, Nick's dad is a cousin to Mayor Jud Marshall, also a Wildwood Lion.

The club makes its money through charitable gambling at Jethro's Char House, which has a pull tab booth and Saturday afternoon bingo. “After we get hammered in taxes, the money goes back into the community,” Marshall said.

In addition to gambling, two major fundraisers help fill the many requests for financial support.

One is the annual Punkinmania event held every October at Triangle Park.

The Lions plant the seeds on land donated by a local farmer, weed the patch and harvest the pumpkins to sell. The

popular event raises about $10,000 for the club, whose No. 1 beneficiary is the Mahtomedi Food Shelf.

A second fundraiser is an annual sportsmen's dinner. Every first Monday in March, the club hosts a game dinner at Lake Elmo Inn, including a huge silent auction and raffle. It makes about $12,000.

They also schedule service events like vision screening for preschool children.

“The service goes to the core of the Lions organization,” Marshall said. He was referring to a convention speech

by Helen Keller in 1925 to Lions Club International. She challenged members to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.” Since then, clubs have worked to aid the blind and visually impaired, eventually launching SightFirst in 1990 to restore sight

and prevent blindness on a global scale.

According to its website, Lions International began in 1917 when a Chicago businessman named Melvin Jones told members of his local business group they should “reach beyond the business issues and address the betterment of their communities and the world.”

That humanitarian mission has survived 100 years. Lion leaders will no doubt keep pushing clubs forward as new members are recruited. “There's no shortage of a need for volunteers,” Marshall said. “We want to spread the wealth.”

Chamberlain’s bill gets hearing ST. PAUL — Senate bill 3573 was heard March 26 by the Environment and Natural Resources Policy and Legacy Finance Committee. Introduced by Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes) March 19 and co-authored by Sen. Chuck Wiger, the bill temporarily prohibits enforcement of certain water appropriation permit conditions by the Department of Natural Resources.

The DNR implemented four conditions per court order that include a residential irrigation ban if water levels in White Bear Lake drop below 924 feet, and a cap on per capita water use.

Chamberlain feels the state agency should wait to implement conditions until the lake level lawsuit is completed.

Hugo City Administrator Bryan Bear planned to testify with Chamberlain on behalf of the bill, which affects 10 municipalities within a 5-mile radius of White Bear Lake.

An email from Wiger’s office late Monday afternoon indicated the committee passed the bill, which has been amended to include a date of July 1, 2019. New language states that until that date, the DNR commissioner must not expend funds to suspend or revoke a water appropriation permit, issue an order requiring a violation to be corrected, assess monetary penalties or otherwise take enforcement action against a water appropriation permit holder if based solely on a violation added as a result of the 2017 court order.

The bill will now be laid over for possible inclusion in the omnibus bill.

No hearings have been scheduled for Runbeck’s companion bill.

“Fire danger was huge because cooking and heating involved fi re, and most things were built with wood,” she said.

This year marks the 130th anniversary of the White Bear Fire Department. The fire hall/village hall was on Second Street and Clark, where Domino's Pizza is located. A brick lockup next door held the office of the justice of the peace. An elected official, the justice was responsible for handling “breaches of peace by the public to include assault, battery, disorderly conduct, keeping houses of ill fame or frequenting the same and of keeping or maintaining disorderly or ill-governed houses.”

Before the turn of the 20th century, the area was much different than it is today. “It was very much a transitional area with people coming and going,” Hanson said. At the height of the resort era, 1870 to 1910, gambling, alcohol and disorderly conduct became an increasing problem.

“Ordinances were passed to restrain and prohibit use of all gambling devices. The council also enacted ordinances to prevent and punish 'immoderate driving.' This was before automobiles,” Hanson noted. “And they regulated bathing and swimming within village limits.

It makes you wonder what was going on.”

According to Hanson, records indi-

MAIL THEFT RED FLAGS – It’s still happening. The red flags are up & thieves are grabbing the outgoing mail before the local postal carrier can. The thieves then grab the checks, wash the ink away, write them to themselves & attempt to cash them at the bank. Mail theft reports seem to be on the rise again, so please remember to place outgoing mail into secure USPS mail receptacles or hand them directly to a postal carrier.

cate the council was constantly fi ghting with the railroad about blocking crossings and impeding residents.

Ordinances were passed restricting trains to a maximum of 10 minutes to block a crossing unless there was an accident, which happened a lot.

Much time was spent discussing sidewalks, wooden boardwalks that property owners had to petition for.

Council also had to deal with shades over saloon windows. “They fought with saloon keepers over that, too,” Hanson said. “The city didn't want shades on windows that could hide minors and women in the saloons.”

Jumping to the 1950s and '60s, the city experienced incredible growth.

There was so much rapid residential expansion that areas of the township were quickly annexed.

“They could hardly keep up. Developers like Bacchus and Bruggeman, among others, wanted to offer city water and sewer to homeowners.

That was the biggest issue at the time.”

With the population influx and annexations, the city increased to 7 square miles between 1950 and 1970 and 13,000 people.

“Government structure changes to accommodate population and needs of the community,” Hanson concluded, “yet the story is the same. People kept coming and government kept adjusting and shifting to accommodate them. It's been fun to see.”

Lake Links lobbies for funding at State Capitol ST. PAUL — Lake Links Association co-chairs Mike Brooks and Steve Wolgamot were at the Capitol March 19 for meetings with legislators. Two bills in the Legislature deal with completion of the Lake Links Trail and route around White Bear Lake.

The first, SF 2773, is authored by Sen. Chuck Wiger and Sen. Roger Chamberlain; HF 2970 is supported

by Rep. Peter Fischer, Rep. Matt Dean and Rep. Leon Lillie. The bills propose the allocation of the remaining $22,000 of the preliminary engineering funding provided by the 2017 Legislature to the city of White Bear Lake and White Bear Township for preliminary engineering along Highway 96 on the north shore of White Bear Lake. The legislation approving preliminary engineering was also supported by Sen. Karin Housley.

The second bill, to be introduced shortly, is intended to provide funding for design engineering and construction of the remaining elements of the Lake Links plan.

“We have made great progress because of the support of all of our area legislators,” commented Wolgamot, “and we have reason to believe that we’ll have all of their support for finishing the job. In a time of partisanship, we are thrilled to have legislative support from both sides of the aisle.”

Brooks pointed out that the preliminary engineering is largely complete, with final route details still being sorted out at several locations.

“The preliminary engineering, along with the great conversations we’ve had with cities and landowners around the lake, demonstrate that a safe route can be completed. The final project will involve commitments of land and existing improvements from all five cities.”

Brooks and Wolgamot were able to meet briefly with

MacKenzie Jensen has an enthusiastic attitude toward learning, she excels in all classes, and her work ethic is stronger than typical high school students. In the two years I have taught MacKenzie, she has never handed in anything late, makes few mistakes, and strives to learn from the errors she does make. She earns a nearly-perfect grade point average as a result of focus, dedication, punctuality, and seeking contiunual improvement. Above all, and in addition to all her academic success, I have never taught a more polite, respectful, and humble student.

She is truly exceptional in every way.

LOOKING BACK Week of March 25 – March 31, 2018 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.

1918

Don’t forget to sort over your old clothes so as to leave a contribution for French and Belgian refugees at the home of Mrs. E. E. Edgar. Any garments in good condition are acceptable…

1943

After April 1, 1943, we will be closed all day Sundays. Thauwald’s W. B. Bakery…

1968

According to announcement made this week by Dr. Russell Hill, president of Lakewood State Junior college, the proposed academic facilities are to be completed in August 1969. The three story building is to face north and will include administrative and faculty office space, classroom, laboratories, a library and lecture hall. The building is designed for future enrollment of 3,000 students….

1993

The fate of old Highway 61 is bound for an $800,000 improvement even though residents of the legendary highway want it to stay the same. Built in 1901, the road was the first vein of Minnesota’s concrete highway system.

After removal of railroad tracks west of downtown, traffi c was rerouted to the current Highway 61. The concrete slabs now serve at the residential Stewart Avenue, east of downtown White Bear Lake.

Patience, knowledge, flexibility best tools for local wildlife photographer

Granger’s signature style is up-close wildlife shots, such as this head-on portrait of a bald eagle after its successful fishing spree.

An up-close encounter with a green heron led to this photo of a heron about to feast on its dinner.

of the

cess—photo editing. Using instructional videos from YouTube, Granger was able to teach himself how to bring the perfect balance into his photos with digital tools.

In 2012, he won a national veterans photo contest (he served in the U.S. Army in the '70s) and a trip to Boston with his wintry shot of the tunnel on County Road 4 in Marine on St. Croix.

Most of Granger's photographs are taken in Minnesota and Wisconsin, but some of them are from visits across the nation to places such as Louisiana and Maine. He enjoys landscape and street scene photography, in addition to his wildlife hobby.

He posts many of his photos on the website Capture Minnesota, which allows Minnesota photographers to share their work and techniques. He joined the website not long after it started, and has been active there ever since.

“It's just nice to know what other people are doing,” he said. “It helped me hone my skills. I recommend people do that kind of stuff. When I started looking at what everyone else was doing, I had to up my skills. It's nice to be challenged.”

At one point he did put together a book called “Nature's Images,” (available for purchase at www.blurb.com/b/897673nature-s-images-by-gregory-j-granger) but his main focus is his online gallery.

For aspiring wildlife photographers, Granger recommends “patience, and then YouTube. Any time you have a question, go watch a couple videos. Watch more than one, because you'll get different ideas from different people.”

Many of Granger's photos can be seen at his Capture Minnesota gallery at www.captureminnesota.com/users/ GregGranger.

It can take hours for Hugo photographer Greg Granger to capture his signature, fi nely detailed wildlife portraits—but every moment is well worth the effort.

“I do it for my own sanity,” he said. “It gets me centered when I'm out in nature.”

Nearly every day, Granger sets out to create fascinating new perspectives of Minnesota birds, landscapes and other scenery. He can never predict what will happen or whether he'll get the shot he wants, but that's all part of the experience, he said.

“You just go out and take what you get,” he said. “I'm trying to do everything from an artistic point of view, so I'll shoot whatever is available … Sometimes it's not until you get it on your screen and start to play with it and you find out you've got a real gem.”

Anything can happen during a photo shoot. Granger recalled an instance when he was dive-bombed by a young eagle while sitting in his car, and another time when a green heron in the reeds wandered nearly close enough to touch.

“I was so close to the heron; he walked in so close I couldn't shoot him anymore,” he said. “He was probably about 8 feet away, and the lens I was using, the closest it would focus was 8 feet. I just sat perfectly still and enjoyed it.”

Granger said another way to get good shots is to launch a kayak on a lake where there's a lot of wildlife.

“If you see (something) from a distance, paddle in slow, and before you get there build some steam up and let it coast on up. That's really fun.”

Granger's family has lived in the White Bear Lake and Hugo area for decades. For many years, Granger was in the automotive repair industry, but suffered an injury and lost partial use of his dominant hand. He realized that one thing he could do with both hands was photography.

He remembered that his siblings had been very knowledgeable about photography in the '70s, which was when he began experimenting with cameras himself.

However, he gave up on the hobby after someone stole all his equipment.

Decades later, he decided it was time to start anew.

“I started over with digital,” he said. “It was nice to be able to look at it instantly.”

He became reacquainted with the unique perspective afforded by different lenses and settings.

“I guess I like discovering things I hadn't seen before close up,” he said. “I also got into macro photography, where you look at insects. I like to see things close up.”

This focus comes across in his many wildlife photos, which feature an enormous amount of detail. The downiest feathers stand out clearly in every photo, and the eyes seem to glow with intelligence no matter the subject.

Some of this visual magic is accomplished through the other side of the pro-

Blake Charles concluded a productive senior year in two sports at White Bear Lake by earning an all-conference honor in basketball. The 6-2 forward averaged 10.5 points and five rebounds, helping the Bears improve from 6-20 last year (when he averaged 11 ppg) to 1512 this year. Charles also led the football team in receiving with 50 catches for 492 yards and four touchdowns.

Hidden images artist creates 7 Warrior Women series in garage

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER LOWDOWN EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A quiet garage on Birch Lake hides seven fierce warrior women, one from each continent. These seven portraits, created from paper, spray paint and tattoo designs by artist Kristi Abbott and friends, are the subject of a new show that opens March 31 at the Gamut Gallery in Minneapolis.

The garage at Abbott’s parents’ house has served as her studio for three years.

“My mum misses the garage in winter, but she gets to see me every day,” Abbott said. That is, when her parents aren’t in Australia. Abbott grew up in Australia, but her father is from Minnesota, and she remembers visiting throughout her childhood. Five years ago, she decided to stay for good.

“I had just quit my corporate job back home and decided to pursue art as a career,” she said.

“And I hadn’t realized as an adult how supportive Minnesota was of the arts, and what a large artistic community there was here. So that was hugely encouraging, and that’s what enabled me to hit the ground running.”

Abbott’s mixed-media portraits are composed of hundreds of different textures of paper and miscellaneous materials—and if you look closer, they often hide several dozen more images within. After the success of her calendar pinup series, she heard a swell of questions about when she would be creating the next pop culture icon in her unique style. The suggestions were overwhelming.

“So I decided to create a piece, my Audrey Hepburn piece, but … I couldn’t possibly get all the next women in before my next show, so that’s when I came up with the idea of hiding the images of these other iconic women within the one portrait,” she said. “I love working like that, because I’ve always been a fan of games. Everything from ‘Where’s Waldo’ to spot-the-difference puzzles. That just kind of turns my brain on.”

She’s now created around 25 portraits in her Pop Icon series. Unsurprisingly, one of the most popular among Minnesotans is her portrait of Prince, which contains 73 hidden images.

With each hidden images piece, she creates a map that helps viewers isolate each separate part of the portrait.

“Because it’s paper, what I’m able to do is print these hidden images on my specialty papers before I cut them by hand and layer them together,” she explained. She said she’s tried to put just about every material imaginable through her Epson Artisan printer.

Minnesota has embraced her artistic talents. In addition to her shows at galleries in Minneapolis, she has created commissions for Metro Transit and the Electric Fetus. Ramsey County Library - Shoreview commissioned a piece that contains hidden images of the community’s history. Her propensity to include many images within a single image is what prompted Minnesota State Fair organizers to designate her as the official 2018 State Fair artist.

“There is so much about the State Fair that is loved by Minnesotans,” she said. “What was great was being able to sit down with them and make a list of things that were on their wish list and try to get them all in there.” She estimated that the piece has more than 40 hidden images in it.

Kristi Abbott works out of her White Bear Lake garage studio.

She is the 2018 artist for the Minnesota State Fair.

She wanted to give herself a month of experimentation after she fi nished the State Fair artwork to try new techniques with feathers, fabrics and jewelry.

“I pulled up the imagery I thought I might like to create, and I ended up pulling up these fabulous images of women in gorgeous headpieces and costumes,” she said.

Inspired by the strength of women, she had friends dress in garb from the seven continents for a photo shoot. Abbott herself was the model for Australia.

“It’s really looking at the beauty of women across all cultures and even across all times, and picking out some of the cultural markers that are present in each of the seven different continents,” she said.

She then worked with tattoo artist Sarah Epperson and muralist Yuya Negishi to transform the portraits into one-of-a-kind pieces of mixed media art. Negishi used spray paint to create the backgrounds of the portraits, while Abbott layered in paper art over the top to form the subject of the portrait. Epperson created elaborate tattoo designs for each warrior woman that tied into the theme of her heritage.

“They’re not meant to be at all intimidating, but just sort of this fierce female energy,” Abbott said.

The hidden imagery is not as concentrated as in some of Abbott’s previous work, but the symbols and ornamentation in each fi gure represent more than what meets the eye.

The North America portrait is a good example of this complexity.

“This was probably one of the most challenging

to come up with because having the exhibition here in the U.S.—the times are pretty interesting as far as political correctness and respecting of each others’ cultures,” Abbott said. “North America is not just the U.S. It’s Mexico. It’s Canada … 23 countries make up North America. So how do we cover all of that in one image?”

Incorporated into the image are crocodile skin paper, leather, a print of the Declaration of Independence, a map of Washington, D.C., a subway map of New York, and a series of botanical tattoo designs meant to evoke North America’s global roots.

The 7 Warrior Women portraits will each be accompanied by four smaller complementary pieces. Some have been created from a hand-drawn image transfer technique, taking Epperson’s designs and transferring them onto a wood panel before Abbott embellishes them with paper, paint and glitter. Others have been created through Negishi’s spray paint technique.

“It’s been a fabulous exercise for all of us,” Abbott said.

Township sets preliminary tax levy

BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Residents approved a nearly $3.9 million preliminary tax levy for 2019 at the town’s annual meeting earlier this month.

Now that the levy has been approved, it can be lowered but not raised. The final levy has been lower than the preliminary levy for the town every year since 2008, according to Finance Director Tom Kelly. The final budget and tax levy will be approved during an annual meeting at 7 p.m. Dec. 11, or Dec. 13 if there is inclement weather.

Preliminary tax levy numbers are decided on a “worst-case” basis — with conservative revenues and high expenditures, Kelly noted. In the case of the 2018 levy, staff planned on less money from rental and animal licenses (which are collected in even years), wage increases, new positions, health insurance increases and increased department budgets.

The preliminary levy represents an increase of just more than 8 percent from the 2018 preliminary levy. The final tax levy approved by residents in 2018 was $3.2 million, approved during a meeting in December 2017. The revenues for 2018 increased a little more than 4 percent

from 2017.

The town’s tax capacity, or the taxable value of property located within the town, increased by more than 10 percent from 2017 to 2018, the highest increase since 2009.

If the preliminary levy is not lowered and the tax capacity increases by 0.01 percent, the tax rate would be nearly 26.3 percent, as opposed to 26.6 percent. If there were no change to the market values of homes, the tax increase for homes valued between $135,000 and $300,000 would fall between $63 and $141.

“When final tax capacity numbers are provided in the fall, they should be higher than our estimate, which will lower the tax rate and therefore, the tax increase on individual properties would be lower,” Kelly added.

The town’s tax rate is the third-lowest in Ramsey County.

In the 2018 budget, 37 percent went to public safety, 23 percent to general government, 24 percent to public works and 16 percent to culture and recreation.

In other items at the March 13 meeting, residents: • Heard reports from the county sheriff and county attorney. Ramsey County Sheriff Jack Serier announced that the department hired 113 people in

2017. He also advocated for residents to dispose of opioid medications that are no longer needed at specific drop points in the county, as opposed to flushing them down the toilet. County Attorney John Choi said the office has been working on raising awareness of

Another city appeals water appropriation amendments

BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — On Feb. 28, city staff received four conditions for its water appropriations permit and was given 30 days to appeal the mandates from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

With a little more than one week remaining before the deadline, the City Council at its March 20 meeting, by a vote of 3-0 (Councilman Tim Deans was absent and Councilman Jeff Ledermann abstained), passed a resolution to appeal those amendments.

The amendments to the water appropriations permit were the result of an August 2017 court decision that ordered the DNR to amend groundwater permits in 10 communities, plus St. Paul Regional Water Services, within a five-mile radius of White Bear Lake.

A temporary “stay” on the rulings was recently granted by district court after the DNR fi led post-trial motions to appeal part of the order.

In the meantime, the DNR issued four conditions for the 11 water suppliers to follow before receiving their appropriation permits.

The city must submit a revised water supply plan to the DNR by Aug. 29 that includes a contingency plan to fully or partially convert the city’s water source covered under the permit from groundwater to surface water. The contingency plan must include a schedule for funding, design, construction and conversion to a surface water supply. This could mean extending St. Paul’s water system that takes water from the Mississippi River through the Vadnais Chain of Lakes to Mahtomedi.

The city also must prohibit residential irrigation following any DNR notification that the water level of White Bear Lake has fallen below 923.5 feet. The ban must be maintained until the DNR fi nds lake levels have reached an elevation of 924 feet. The residential ban must include enforcement tools and procedures if there is noncompliance.

Golf courses, parks, apartment buildings and commercial enterprises are currently exempt from any restrictions.

Residential per capita water use in the city must remain below 75 gallons per day, and the total water use in the city must be below 90 gallons per day. The city must show this us-

age in its permit report. “Right now the community uses about 70 gallons per capita and 78 gallons total,” City Engineer John Sachi said. “We are well below the mandate, which was relatively easy, unlike the fi rst two court orders that provide us a lot of consternation.”

Last, the city must report collaborative efforts with the other 10 municipalities at maintaining lake levels.

City Attorney Bridget Nason said Mahtomedi has three options regarding the four conditions: accept the amendments to the appropriations permit; ignore the amendments to the appropriation permit, which would involve significant risk; or contest the imposition of the four amendments to the permit.

Councilman Richard Brainerd wondered whether the city would still have to comply with the four conditions with an appeal underway. “Do we have to move ahead with all four of those things? We’ll incur potentially huge costs,” he said.

Nason replied that if the city were to fi le an appeal, the position the DNR will take is that this is no longer essentially a fi nal order and

these conditions are no longer in effect.

“I’m delighted we’re in compliance with the daily consumption,” Councilman Steve Wolgamot said.

“The sprinkler ban is not difficult — just unpopular. The fi rst condition is, frankly, impossible to do by Aug. 29 even if we put John (Sachi) to work all day, every day. I support the appeal, but I’m also thinking hard about implementing (the DNR mandates), because we can’t assume we’ll win. We don’t know what the time frame will be.”

The contested case hearings might not wrap up for three to six months, Nason said.

“Councilmember Brainerd and I will be driving around a lot this summer looking for rivers near golf courses (from which to draw water),” Wolgamot said.

The four conditions are an arbitrary and capricious application

by DNR, said Nason, but it comes from the court order. “Watering and sprinkling by residents have not been the cause of the lake drawdown — it’s not a significant rational basis for these impositions.”

Variance needed to link bike paths along Highway 12 Washington County will request a variance from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to use a shared lane on the rebuilt County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 12 through Mahtomedi.

The lane will connect a less-than-half-mile gap in the planned trail system of the roadway.

The County Board approved the request March 13.

Washington County is working with the cities of Willernie, Mahtomedi and Grant to develop an improved corridor plan for CSAH 12 (Stillwater Road/75th Street).

The corridor has many challenges, including poor pavement condition, high parking demands, lack of or poor pedestrian facilities, traffic congestion, and underground utilities all along a truck/ bus/commuter route. The corridor transitions from a downtown commercial core on the west end of the project to mixed residential with some com-

mercial in the middle, and rural residential with large school properties on the east.

From a regional trail perspective, CSAH 12 serves as a link between the Gateway Trail to the east and the streetcar trail along Highway 244 to the west. More locally, an existing trail, which is part of the corridor, connects the Gateway Trail to the Glenmar Avenue intersection. A gap of less than a half mile remains along CSAH 12 between the two trails for both travel directions.

While the proposed roadway design meets State Aid rules, the designation of a shared lane would not in such a heavily-traveled corridor. Although on-road riding is legal in this area, there is not sufficient space in the corridor to accommodate bicycles in a dedicated on-road bike lane, wide shoulder, or paved trail, according to State Aid rules for roadways with bicycle facilities. Cyclists who are comfortable with on-road riding will continue

to do so after this project is constructed, hence the variance request to improve their visibility to drivers and to reinforce existing state law.

The variance would allow this gap segment to function as a shared lane. If the variance is approved, signing and striping will be used to alert drivers of the lawful presence of bicycles in the roadway. Specifically, the project team proposes to include “sharrows,” or shared-use arrows, pavement markings and, if needed, corresponding regulatory signs. Sharrow markings do not establish a bicycle lane, but rather remind both cyclists and drivers of the appropriate positioning of cyclists within the traffic lane.

The project is expected to cost $6 million; construction will start in 2019.

Gift brings learning lab to private school WHITE BEAR LAKE — A learning lab offering extra student support will be coming to Frassati Catholic Academy through an anonymous donation from a parishioner and a matching grant.

While the school was dreaming of how it could form a learning lab for students who need extra support with reading, math or other skills, the idea was presented to a parish family who had previously made a large donation to the parish, said Fr. Ralph Talbot.

“They were very excited about supporting that,” Talbot said. “They made a gift of $50,000.” The donor wishes to remain anonymous.

The school then presented the gift to the Catholic Schools Center of Excellence (CSCOE) for a matching grant, which was supplied. CSCOE assists Catholic elementary schools in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.

The school plans to use the $100,000 to hire a teacher to work with students in the lab and revamp a room into a learning lab space, complete with technology, Talbot said.

“We're visiting places like Hill-Murray (School) and other schools that have ventured out this way to see what works,” he noted.

The school hopes to have the lab up and running for the 2018-2019 school year.

“The community of Frassati Catholic Academy offers thanks and gratitude to our donor family and to the leaders and supporters of CSCOE for their generosity and commitment to excellence for all students in our Catholic schools,” said the school in a statement.

“FLOWER” (R) [CRUDE SEXUAL CONTENT AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT, GRAPHIC NUDE DRAWINGS, SOME DRUG CONTENT, AND A BRIEF VIOLENT IMAGE.] — After a reckless, promiscuous, rebellious, 17-year-old teenager (Zoey Deutch), who lives with her divorced mother (Kathryn Hahn) and her new boyfriend (Tim Heidecker) in the San Fernando Valley, her two longtime friends (Dylan Gelula and Maya Eshet) and the pudgy, troubled son (Joey Morgan) of her mom’s boyfriend who just got out of rehab decide to blackmail a former schoolteacher (Adam Scott) who was accused of pedophilia in this quirky, wacky, unpredictable, 90-minute dark comedy, the plan goes from bad to worse after the cops get involved.

“THE LEISURE SEEKER” (R) [SOME SEXUAL MATERIAL.] — A touching, well-written, humorous, well-acted, 112-minute romantic film highlighted by wonderful dialogue and cinematography and based on Michael Zadoorian’s 2009 novel in which a longtime married couple, one (Helen Mirren) suffering from terminal cancer and the other (Donald Sutherland) from dementia, leave Boston for a road trip in their dilapidated RV to the chagrin and concern of their adult children (Janel Moloney and Christian McKay) and head to Key West for one last wild vacation and one last hurrah.

Fun Fact

Did you know?

“LOVE, SIMON” (PG-13) [THEMATIC ELEMENTS, SEXUAL REFERENCES, LANGUAGE, AND TEEN PARTYING.] — A touching, bittersweet, realistic, humorous, coming-of-age, 119-minute film based on Becky Albertalli’s novel “Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda” in which a gay, sensitive, talented high school student (Nick Robinson), who lives with his parents (Jennifer Garner and Josh Duhamel) and cook-loving sister (Talitha Eliana Bateman), begins an online conversation with an anonymous classmate (Keiynan Lonsdale) with whom he feels close during their emails, struggles to come out to his close friends (Katherine Langford, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., et al.), and then a self-centered student (Logan Miller) threatens to disclose his secret unless he helps him get a date with a comely African student (Alexandra Shipp) to whom he is attracted.

WEEKLY AVERAGES

The hype going into this past weekend was the impending MAR 28 TO APRIL 3, 2018 winter storm. As the weekend approached, the focus High 49° wasn’t on the north or northeast metro but southern, and Low 29° as it turns out, not a flake fell here in the greater metro area. I’m not complaining, although I do like a good snow, %Sun 56% but instead it was a pleasant weekend with sun late PCP 0.64” afternoon Saturday and much of the day Sunday. Winter ice fishing is still going strong on area lakes with geese and mallards now showing up expecting the ice to soon melt.

It will still be awhile as no significant warm-up is in sight.

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

MARCH 28, 2018 www.presspubs.com

Mahtomedi grad named 2018 J. Stanley and Doris Hill Legacy Award recipient Bob Schneeweis has been selected as the 2018 J. Stanley and Doris Hill Legacy Award recipient. Established by the Century College Foundation, the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation and the White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation, the award honors the memory of Stan and Doris Hill for their remarkable commitment to community service. Schneeweis is being recognized for his extensive volunteer service to the White Bear Lake area and beyond its borders.

Schneeweis, 66, is the son of John (Jack) and Mary Lou Schneeweis. He grew up in Mahtomedi and is a graduate of Mahtomedi High School. He received a Bachelor of Arts from St. John’s University and an MBA from the University of St. Thomas. He has been married for 40 years to Jane White Schneeweis. They have two children, Bob and Sarah (Johnson) and five grandchildren.

Schneeweis comes from a tradition of

volunteerism and has spent a lifetime helping others and giving back to the communities he loves.

He and Jane moved back to Mahtomedi in 1982. In the community, Schneeweis became vice Bob Schneeweis president and then president of the St. Jude’s Parish Council. He was a Boy Scout leader from 1987-1989. He was a committee member and then chair of the Mahtomedi Parks Commission from 19861989. He coached Mahtomedi youth baseball from 1988-1992. He helped establish and run the Mahtomedi Youth Basketball Association from 1991-1995

and coached the first traveling team for boys from 1991-1993 and the first traveling team for girls from 1994-1996.

In 1991, Stan Hill called Schneeweis to ask for his help with the Burnett/ Children’s Hospital Golf Classic (now the 3M Championship). Schneeweis helped develop the finance wing of the startup golf tournament. After that, Hill and Schneeweis joined together to work on the North East Round Table and the Metropolitan Interfaith Community for Affordable Housing.

From 1996-2002, Schneeweis was a school board member for the Mahtomedi School District. Following that, he was a board member, vice president, and chair of the investment committee for the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation from 2003-2007.

From 2009-2017, Schneeweis was on the board of the Tubman Family Crisis and Support Services, overseeing finances and developing a major gifts program.

Beginning in 2015, Schneeweis became a founding board member of the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation. He founded and is chair of the investment committee.

When interviewed, Schneeweis stressed the importance of family and community in one's life and the value of local public education. He said what has inspired him is the model his parents instilled through their life of service and the concept of the familiar quote, “If not you, then who?” When asked how he found the time, he referred to an Anna Quindlen talk about looking at your children and asking, “how could I not?”

A reception honoring Schneeweis will take place Thursday, May 17, at Century College - East Campus in the Library Fireplace Area. The event, open to the public, will begin at 7 p.m.

Boy Scout reaches Eagle rank by helping bluebirds Mitchell Goff of Boy Scout Troop 434, chartered by Redeemer Lutheran Church, recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout — the highest achievement offered by the Boy Scouts of America. Only 4 percent of all Scouts earn this rank. The honor was bestowed March 11 in White Bear Lake.

Goff is a brotherhood member of Order of the Arrow (OA), participated in high adventure camping, Philmont hiking and Sea Base trips, and demonstrated his leadership by serving as a patrol leader, librarian, OA unit representative and OA Many Waters District vice chief of membership. He donated over 120 hours of community service, much of it at local food banks, and received a World Conservation Award and a Sea Base Captain’s Award.

To achieve the Eagle Scout honor, Mitchell earned 27 merit badges, served in leadership positions, and spent many hours on service

projects, including his Eagle project where he planned and led the building and installing of bluebird houses in the Scheuneman Nature Preserve in Grant.

Eagles run in the family: Mitchell’s brother, Ryan Goff, a 2014 graduate of Mahtomedi High School, presented him with his Eagle Scout Award. His father, Edward Goff, a 1985 graduate of White Bear Lake High School, received the mentor pin for guiding him throughout his Scouting career. As a special recognition, Mitchell also presented his grandfather, Robert Goff of Grant, with a grandfather’s pin in appreciation for his encouragement and support.

Mitchell is a graduate of Stillwater High School and currently attends Century College studying enterprise computing technologies.
