Experts tell court: Multiple factors impact lake level BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
ST. PAUL — An expert witness for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) believes climate change and not groundwater pumping is the primary cause of low lake levels. The plaintiff’s expert said his opinion has not changed since his original 2013 report: that groundwater withdrawals permitted by the DNR directly impact the lake surface water level, impairing White Bear Lake and the aquifer beneath it. Whose testimony carries the most weight will be up to Ramsey County Judge Margaret Marrinan to decide. There is much to sort out among the scientific reports and anecdotal evidence provided the judge since the trial began March 6. Witnesses for the plaintiff, the White Bear Lake Restoration Association (WBLRA) and intervenor Lake Homeowners Association, included hydrogeologists and lake homeowners who are members of the WBLRA. The defending DNR called its own scientists and regulatory people to the stand. Intervenors for the defense, White Bear Township and the city of White Bear Lake, called staff to testify, including retired City Manager Mark Sather. Closing arguments were expected March 29. The expert witness for the DNR was Matthew Tonkin, PhD, a hydrogeologist

Lions add Soldier’s Memorial Flagpole restoration to legacy projects BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
The tallest flagpole in White Bear Lake is 80 feet high, yet few know it’s there. That’s the contention of Lion Lynn Farley who has made it the club’s mission to erect a new and more visible Soldier’s Memorial Flagpole at Washington Park. And where is Washington Park? It’s a small patch of ground in front of Premier Bank near the corner of Highway 61 and Third Street. The flagpole and its prominent stone base were built in 1939 at a cost of $350.
Today, the monument is hidden by large trees and in disrepair. Restoring it is expected to cost about $60,000. The White Bear Lake Lions Club is spearheading a community fundraising drive to return the monument and flagpole to its former glory. The restoration project will coincide with the 100th anniversary of Lions International. “The flagpole, its base and surrounding stone work have become very tired,” Farley said. “It was dedicated as a tribute to all soldiers in any wars and the Lions think this is a great legacy project for our centennial year.”
The project is something the Lions hope both citizens and the business community will get behind, much like the city did 78 years ago when local leaders, including the owner of the White Bear Press, rallied support. In fact, the Press put in the first $5. The first of many articles in the community newspaper, dated July 7, 1939, was entitled, “Why Not a Public Flag Pole?” The writer, presumably owner W.A. Stickley, had this to say: “The Press, being of the opinion that White Bear FILE

Fitness center expects to remain in current location at least a year WHITE BEAR LAKE — Anytime Fitness Manager Marco Ironi wants the community to know they are still open for business. Yes, a new HyVee on Centerville Road will eventually require the building to be demolished for its parking lot, but that could be two years away. “We will be at our current location for at least a year,� Ironi said. The gym is located at 4600 Centerville Road in White Oak Retail Center behind Tires Plus. The owner of the strip mall said the developer has requested an extension to Aug. 31, 2018 to purchase the property, which was granted. “They have the ability to close earlier, but I don’t see that happen-
ing,� said John Moriarty of White Oak Development Co. LLC in Minneapolis. “It could easily be two years before they start. It will happen, we just don’t know when. There’s a lot of things they still need to do.� Anytime Fitness opened in February of 2015, one of three fitness centers Ironi manages around the metro. Like Moriarty, he reminds customers that there are many hurdles to overcome before HyVee breaks ground. “We want to keep our 600-plus members feeling like, No. 1, we are not closed, and No. 2, if the property does sell, we’re planning to move the business to a bigger location in White Bear Lake.� Debra Neutkens

Seven down… Two to go
S
even of the original Dahle family of nine (my birth family) have departed this earth for their heavenly homes. This past week, we celebrated the life of my brother Raymond Edwin Christian, of Fertile, Minnesota. He died at the age of 84. The funeral was March 22. His heart and kidneys were failing and eventually took out this tough Marine veteran. He was determined and lived 18 months longer than the doctors at Mayo thought he would. Ray’s professions included farming, GMC dealerships, ditching and earth moving, and fish farms. He loved to turn problems into opportunities. He was good at it. He leaves his wife Nancy, of 60 About the years, four sons, one daughter, their spouses, 14 grandchildren Town and three great-grandchildren. Gene Johnson The Dahle family of nine children were left orphaned in 1936 when our parents died. Five were adopted, thus several of us have different surnames. I was adopted by Dan and Edythe Johnson of White Bear Lake, Ray and Roy were adopted by the Christian family of Fertile, Minnesota, and Gordon and Chuck were raised by the Tellijohn family of Emerald, Wisconsin. Our parents farmed in Olmsted County, Minnesota. Larry, the oldest brother is 94 and lives with his wife Helen in Tempe, Arizona. He retired from a career in the Army as a Command Sergeant Major. Seven of the nine siblings served in the military. I served in the National Guard. AS WE ARRIVED back in Minnesota I received a text from Brian Bonin saying his dad, Phil was dying. Fortunately I was able to visit him in the last hours. Phil was a 34 year employee of Press Publications and a former partner in Northstar Media at Cambridge. Phil joined the Press a short time after we purchased it in 1970. He introduced the Free Press, a free distribution paper that gave the Press advertisers a larger circulation. A fast growing cancer took his life away in less than six months. He leaves behind his wife, Molly (nee Mock), three children, Brian (Rachel), Kristi (Sean) Conrad, Brett (Lesley) and seven grandchildren. He also leaves his mother Ann, age 94, and sisters Barb, Bev, Marcia and Geraldine, and one brother, Dick, and their spouses. Phil loved hockey, golf and activities in and on the lake. He served as president of the White Bear Area Chamber, Optimists, was active on the hockey association and continually promoted his hometown of White Bear Lake. As a teen he worked summers for Ernie Nestle, the gardener at the McKnight estate in Dellwood. Ernie once asked me how I got along with Phil’s shortcuts at work. Phil’s shortcuts, as it turned out, let him be efficient as he planned and sold advertising and managed his time well. He often was at home for dinner with the family but would return to the office to prepare for the next day’s sales calls. Phil also had the ability to be available for any golf foursome with an opening at many local courses. He knew how to work hard and play hard. DEATH IS AN inevitable part of life and the older we get the more that fact becomes clear. It seems you always remember something you were going to share, do or remember with the person who now is no longer available. This brings the importance of phone calls, letters, sharing dinners, thoughts and yes even texts with people as they come to mind. Scripture talks about the importance of sharing your beliefs in Psalm 78:6 “so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.” Life goes on…we get old very quickly…. but the memories and sharing we do will survive.

Healthcare, taxes, jobs key priorities
ith deadlines now past to work on policy issues, we have now begun focusing almost exclusively on creating a good budget for Minnesota families. This week, I want to focus on my priorities going forward. AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE This month, state legislators faced a choice: • Reinsurance – Give nearly $400 million to health insurance with Legislator executives no guarantee for expanded coverLingo age options for Minnesotans. Rep. Peter • MinnesotaCare Buy-In Fischer – Finally allows anyone to buy into MinnesotaCare with their own premium dollars to access a trusted and tested coverage option. It’s probably no surprise where I landed on that debate. The incredibly expensive “reinsurance” plan is a bailout for health insurance companies and includes no accountability for how those executives use your taxpayer dollars. The bottom line? Taxpayers get the bill, corporations get the profits.
My hope is that we may be able to forge some sort of compromise that combines a more targeted form of reinsurance with the Governor’s proposed MinnesotaCare Buy-In. I also hope to include a provision that will allow small businesses to buy into the program, as well. But compromise will depend entirely on whether legislators are willing to work together to get things done. TARGETED TAX RELIEF With a forecasted $1.65 billion budget surplus, we need to be smart about how we give some of that money back to Minnesotans. Some legislators want reckless tax breaks for the wealthy, but I think we should be much more targeted with our tax relief. We need to invest in middle-class families in order to grow our economy and give people a chance to thrive instead of living paycheck to paycheck. Here are a few of my priorities for tax relief for working families: • Working Family Credit expansion – Lowers the age requirement for workers without dependent children, increases the size of the credit, and increases the incomes that families can earn and still receive the credit. • Student Loan Tax Credit – Provides $50 million annually in refundable income tax credits for
student loan payments. • Past Military Service Credit expansion – Expands a credit for taxpayers who are separated from military service, have served in the military for at least 20 years and who have a service-related disability rated as 100% total and permanent. • Social Security Tax Relief – Allows more middle income seniors to receive Social Security benefits without paying taxes. UPDATE ON THE JOBS (BONDING) BILL It’s already the middle of March and we still haven’t finished our homework from last year by passing a comprehensive bonding bill. We have critical repairs in our communities that need bonding dollars to start shovel-ready projects now. The State Senate is already moving on a bonding bill, and it’s time for a bonding bill to pass in the Minnesota House. I hope Speaker Daudt moves forward with a proposal soon. As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. If you haven’t already, follow me on Twitter and Facebook to get even more regular updates. Rep. Peter Fischer represents District 43A in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Beware of ‘Can you hear me?’ scam calls “Can you hear me?” “Are you there?” “Is this you?” ost people have been asked these questions in a phone call. News outlets and organizations across the country report that people are receiving calls from individuals who ask questions designed to get a “yes” answer. But responding “yes” may leave people on the hook for more nuisance calls and maybe even unauthorized charges. This new scheme is called the “Can You Hear Me?” Scam. The calls go like this: “Chris” received a call while he was eating dinner. He answered the call, and a person asked, “Can you hear me?” Chris replied, “Yes.” He then heard a recording that claimed he had won a free cruise. Chris realized the call may be part of a scam and hung up. How the scam works The details of this scam vary, but it always begins with a call, usually from a telephone number that appears to be local. When the person answers the call,
M
the scam artist tries to get the person to say “yes”—most often by asking, “Can you hear me?” “Is this the lady of the house?” or a similar question. By responding “yes,” people notify robo-callers that their Movers and number is an active telephone number that can Shakers be sold to other telemarketers for a higher price. Lori Swanson This then leads to more unwanted calls. In some cases, the caller may record the person saying “yes.” Scam artists may be able to use a recorded “yes” to claim that the person authorized charges to his or her credit card or account. How can scammers access your account? Some companies share their customers’ information with thirdparty companies or allow third parties to charge customers’ accounts (called “cramming”) in exchange for payment. Scam artists
may also obtain financial information from data breaches or leaks or through identity theft. Whether the “Can you hear me?” calls are simply nuisance calls or something more sinister, there are steps you can take to avoid falling victim to phone scams. • Check phone numbers closely. Scam artists spoof calls to make them appear to be from a local telephone number. Even if a number appears to be local, it is best to avoid calls from numbers with which you are not familiar. • Hang up. If you answer a call that seems suspicious, hang up. Remember, “Minnesota Nice” does not apply to scammers. It is not rude to hang up abruptly on a suspicious caller. • Carefully review your financial statements and telephone bills. Whether or not you have been targeted by a scam, it is a good idea to review your bills line-by-line for unauthorized or fraudulent activity. The law provides some protection for people to dispute unauthorized charges to their credit cards
and bank accounts, but these laws generally impose time limits. It is important to check right away for charges you did not make or approve so you have time to file a dispute. Reporting unwanted calls If you receive a call that may be part of a “Can You Hear Me?” scam, you should report it to the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”). The FTC has the authority to enforce federal laws regulating nuisance calls and interstate fraud over the telephone. Contact the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Response Center, 877-382-4357 or www. ftccomplaintassistant.gov. For more information, or to fi le a complaint, contact the Office of Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson, 445 Minnesota Street, Suite 1400, St. Paul, MN 55101, 651-296-3353 or 800-657-3787, TTY: 651-297-7206 or 800-366-4812.

Appeal process proceeds in conservation district’s case against DNR BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The Court of Appeals has agreed to hear the White Bear Lake Conservation District’s (WBLCD) case against the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) protective elevation order. The attorney for the conservation district said the DNR will now be required to create an administrative record or index of what it used to set the elevation. The agency has an April 4 deadline to provide the record. The conservation district then has 30 days to respond. The conservation district filed an ap-
peal Feb. 16 seeking review of the Dec. 21, 2016 order by the DNR setting a protective elevation of White Bear Lake. The WBLCD contested the 922-foot number, asking the agency for a public hearing on the issue, which the DNR denied. There was a question as to whether the DNR served proper notice to the WBLCD on the day of the Dec. 21 order, which would have meant the district had to file an appeal by Feb. 21, 2017. The district served a writ of certiorari on the DNR Feb. 22, which the DNR said was too late. In its order dated March 21, the appellate court wrote that the DNR’s Dec. 21 notice regarding the protective elevation “simply advised the relator (WBLCD)
of the respondent’s (DNR) intention to announce its decision at a ‘courtesy briefing’ to be held later that day. “In this case, the relator did not receive due notice of the actual decision until the week of Dec. 26, when a copy of the Dec. 21 order was mailed to a board member.” Therefore, the three-judge panel agreed, the writ was served within the 60-day appeal period. Signed by Chief Judge Edward Clearly, jurisdiction by the Appellate Court was accepted. A DNR motion for an extension to file the itemized list of the contents of the record was also granted, giving the state until April 4. Attorney Alan Kantrud filed the appeal
on behalf of the conservation district, noting the protective elevation order was issued without affording the governing body any opportunity for public comment or hearing. The conservation district had requested in 2015 that the protective elevation of White Bear Lake be set at 924 to 924.5 feet, a level needed to reopen Ramsey County Beach. The counsel said no one from the board was invited to the December DNR briefing announcing the number, which Kantrud called a “callous” oversight. When the district asked the DNR for due process to challenge the order, the DNR refused, prompting the appeal.

Fire consumes Mahtomedi home MAHTOMEDI — A family’s house on Oak Grove Lane was destroyed by a fire in the early morning, March 22. Kelly Isom said she and her four daughters had just arrived home from spring break the day before; her husband Tony went to Texas for work. About 11 p.m. her 16-year-old daughter texted her in bed to say she thought there was someone in the house and the cats were making weird noises downstairs. Kelly assured her that her little sister had just woken up and the cat was in heat. But a couple hours later, she got up, restless, and saw an “orange shoe” in the entryway. She ran downstairs to see her entire laundry room in flames. She ushered her children and dog outside; the cats died. Kelly said neighbors and friends brought blankets, food and clothes. One took their dog in overnight. “It’s been amazing,” Kelly noted of the community support. Mahtomedi is a tight-knit community and Kelly said one of the “heroes” in the situation was their family friend Terry Fischer, who also happens to be chief of the Mahtomedi Fire Department. Fischer said it appears the cause of the fire was related to the home’s hot water heater. No arson is suspected. It took about half an hour to contain the fire and about five hours to make sure all hot spots were out. “Most of the damage was related to the middle of the house,” Fischer said. “You can’t tell from the outside how bad it was.” The family is currently staying at a hotel and sorting out insurance claims. Friends have been helping itemize all the belongings. A Gofundme page has been set up; about $10,000 had been raised as of press time.

A student was in possession of a BB gun in the Mahtomedi High School parking lot Monday afternoon, March 20. A bus driver noticed a person carrying what looked like a gun in the parking lot about 2:40 p.m., said Sgt. Sara Halverson of the Washington County Sheriff's Office. A juvenile male with a BB gun was located by law enforcement, she said. The student was subsequently charged with brandishing a BB gun, Halverson added. The charges have been filed with the Washington County Attorney's Office. “The safety of our students is our highest priority and we take any threat of violence seriously,” stated Superintendent Mark Larson in district communications. “Being in possession of the air gun violates our weapons policy and accordingly we are working with the Washington County Sheriff's Department and taking appropriate action.” The Washington County Sheriff's Department assured the district there is no threat to student safety, Larson noted.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Offi ce reported the following incidents:
VADNAIS HEIGHTS • An SUV in the 800 block of Woodgate Drive was broken into overnight March 16 and a duffel bag containing three dance outfits and five pair of dance shoes was taken. The costumes and shoes were valued at $600. • A former house cleaner is under investigation in the year-old theft of items reported missing from a home in the 3100 block of Centerville Road. The 44-year-old suspect was questioned March 16 in the disappearance of silver and diamond jewelry, cash, sports cards and four Viking player jerseys, including one signed by Jared Allen, over several weeks. The total value of the missing items was estimated at $2,500. • A window was broken and loose change was stolen from an SUV overnight March 16 in the 3200 block of Belmar Drive. There have been 18 “thefts from auto” incidents in the surrounding area in the past three weeks, according to crime statistics. • Deputies responding to reported unpleasantness at a bar in the 1100 block of County Road E in the aftermath of St. Patrick’s Day found four “intoxicated” White Bear Lake and Little Canada “20-somethings” engaged in a little pushing and shoving at 1:30 a.m. March 18, including one shirtless guy squaring off against another male by the pool tables. According to a deputy’s report, the quartet, three males and a female, were demonstrating “a wide range of emotions,” but no arrests were made. • A male brought a pair of K-Swiss shoes to the store checkout counter in the 900 block of County Road E the afternoon of March 19. “Are you paying for those, too?” the female cashier said, pointing to the pair of New Balance sneakers
poking out of his jacket. At that, the future track star was out the door on the dead run. The loss was $145. • You cannot make this stuff up. A year-old brown-and-white male Chihuahua named Junior, out in his Bankers Drive backyard the morning of March 20 to do his business, slipped off his leash and was off to the races. The little dog — decked out in a black-and-red body harness — was spotted later that day running along I-35E and I-694. Upwards of 20 motorists pulled over and got out of their vehicles attempting to corner Junior, but the Chihuahua was too quick for them. Finally, a man in a tux, on his way to a wedding, corralled the little dog by a furniture warehouse nearby and Junior was soon on his way to Hillcrest Animal Hospital, uninjured, to await pickup by his owner. Junior’s adventure was over. • A female shoplifter, caught previously at WalMart, was nabbed again the afternoon of March 20 attempting to steal a computer mouse valued at $31. The 24-year-old out of St. Paul was cited for theft and released. • A 50-year-old Cottage Grove man has been identified as a suspect in the March 21 theft of scrap metal from a dumpster behind a business in the 4200 block of Centerville Road. An investigation continues.
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A loss prevention officer at Cub Pharmacy on Meadowlands Drive was checking security video March 13 when he saw a pair of thieves pocket packages of Crest whitestrips and Rogaine hair thickener, valued at $200. The 48-year-old man and 33-year-old woman, who never went through the proper checkout line, were identified and mailed citations for theft. • Deputies responded to a possible burglary
March 15 at a house under foreclosure in the 1500 block of Hwy. 96 where a window had been “punched out.” It was impossible to tell if anything was missing, deputies said, because of the interior’s “deplorable condition.” All the furniture and other household items were still on the scene in disarray, and all the furniture drawers were left open. • A vehicle was broken into overnight March 16 in the 5500 block of Township Drive and a wallet went missing. The thief, apparently with a big appetite, used a debit card in the wallet to charge $100 at a Subway sandwich shop, as well as more than $300 in charges at several other area stores. No forced entry to the vehicle was found. • A man who had lived in a fi sh house on Otter Lake until the ice melted was arrested March 17 at his parents’ home on Ridgewood Avenue. The 31-year-old, who is thought to have mental problems, was booked into the Ramsey County Jail on disorderly conduct and trespassing charges. • Responding to a report of ‘two men fi ghting” the afternoon of March 19 at a “problem house” on Melissa Lane, deputies found only a 20-yearold Roseville woman who they cited for an expired motorcycle permit. • After fi nding a receipt for $37.99 on the floor at Cub Foods on Meadowlands Drive March 21, a 33-year-old man spent some time in the store trying to fi nd an item for sale for $37.99 so he could take it to the service counter and attempt to return it. He did fi nd a bottle of cough syrup priced at $37.99 but — unbeknownst to our man — there is identifying information on the receipt that indicates what the item is. That identifying information did not indicate that it was cough syrup. The White Bear Lake man was turned over to White Bear Lake police on a theft charge.
WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:
BIRCHWOOD • A resident in the 100 block of Cedar Street reported that an antique weather ornament in the yard was damaged overnight March 16-17. Upon later review, the damage appeared to have been made by a deer.
GRANT • A 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer was reported stolen March 13 from Cartiva in the 11000 block of 60th Street N.
MAHTOMEDI • A White Bear Lake youth, 17 and a St. Paul youth, 17, were each cited at 10:56 p.m. March 13 in the 200 block of Wedgewood Drive for underage possession of tobacco.
• A Blaine woman, 47, was cited March 14 on Hallam Avenue S. and Stillwater Road for tabs that expired in November. • A motorist on I-694 east of Century Avenue on March 14 reported two males in a silver four-door sedan pointing a handgun at her before speeding away. • A resident in the 9 block of Birchwood Road at 8:19 a.m. March 16 reported a truck at the neighbor's house, although the neighbors were
not at home at the time and the house was not for sale. • A Mahtomedi man, 22, was arrested at 1:12 a.m. March 19 on Hallam Avenue S. and Stillwater Road for careless driving and possession of a controlled substance after deputies pulled the subject over and smelled a strong odor of marijuana in the vehicle.

LAKE TRIAL: Experts offer differing opinions as to cause of fluctuation FROM PAGE 1A
and president of S.S. Papadopulos & Associates, an environmental and water-resources consulting firm based in Bethesda, Maryland. While Tonkin agreed that groundwater extraction from aquifers “hydraulically connected” to White Bear Lake has the potential to change the level of surface water, he testified that based on data received and calculations made, climate fluctuation is the dominant factor in both reduction in lake levels and subsequent increases in recent years. During his testimony, Tonkin said mitigation measures proposed by the plaintiff’s experts are “likely to be hydraulically inefficient and possibly punitive.” “Mitigating declines in White Bear Lake water levels through manipulation of groundwater extraction rates and/ or lake augmentation can only provide a fraction of the relief sought by the plaintiff,” Tonkin said, “since changes recorded at White Bear Lake are dominantly symptomatic of regional climate fluctuations. Manipulation of minor contributing factors will not provide substantial relief.” Plaintiff expert Stu Grubb, a hydrogeologist with Emmons & Olivier Resources in Oakdale, said he stands by his original conclusions after site visits, field tests and analysis of the new USGS report. That 2016 report analyzed groundwater/surface water interactions in lakes of the northeast Twin Cities area from 2002 through 2015, including White Bear Lake. Based on his recent review, Grubb has changed his mind about one thing. Where his previous report recommended a 25 percent reduction in annual water use, Grubb now recommends a total ban on irrigation in municipalities near White Bear Lake. According to Grubb’s calculations, a ban on watering lawns could reduce overall annual water use by at least 15 percent and raise the level of White Bear Lake by 0.75 feet. He suggests implementing a ban when the lake water level falls below a target elevation of 923.5 feet. The DNR established a protective elevation of 922 feet. “Additional data and reports confirm my expert opinion that groundwater is flowing into and out of White Bear Lake, that pumping from the Prairie du Chien aquifer is lowering the water level and that if no changes are made, the water level will be even further suppressed in the future,” he wrote in his report to Judge Marrinan. Grubb said wells near the lake, partic-

This graphic, provided by limnologist Meghan Funke with Emmons & Olivier Resources, a firm hired by the plaintiff in the lake level lawsuit, illustrates various levels of water decline in White Bear Lake and scenarios for decline over the years. The lowest recorded lake level is 918.8 feet set in January 2013.
ularly on the southwest side, are pumping water that originated in the lake and are decreasing the hydraulic pressure in the aquifer, which causes more water to move from the lake to the aquifer below and to the wells. “This opinion,” Grubbs explained, “is supported by Chapters A and B of the new USGS studies.” Chapter B of the yet-to-be-released USGS study, “Simulation of Groundwater Flow and Surface Water Exchanges in Lakes of the Northeast Metro,” is technically still in peer review but was provided to partners in the research, one being the DNR. The report documents the Northeast Metro Lakes Groundwater-flow model created to calculate and predict the effect that changes to the environment — for example, groundwater pumping or changing rainfall — will have on water levels in area lakes,
including White Bear. According to Grubb, USGS used the model to calculate the influence groundwater pumping is having on the lake: When pumping rates of all the wells in the model were increased 30 percent, the water level fell by about 1.5 feet. When pumping rates were decreased by 30 percent, the water level rose by about 1.5 feet. USGS also used the model to calculate the influence of precipitation changes. When precipitation is reduced from 32.3 to 30.7 inches, a 5 percent decrease, water level fell by about 3 feet. When it increased to 33.9 inches, water level rose by about 2.5 feet. “This means that during a dry period, the effect of increased pumping will be added to the effects of decreased precipitation to cause an even greater decrease in lake level,” Grubb noted. “If pumping
increases by 30 percent and there is a 5 percent decrease in precipitation, the model predicts the level of White Bear Lake will decrease by about 5 feet.” Tonkin criticized the USGS model during his testimony, calling it a limited tool to explain a complex physical phenomena. “I would hesitate to give this to someone and say, ‘make a decision,’” he said. “Steady-state modeling (used by USGS) will overpredict the effects of pumping.” Principal researcher on the USGS study, Perry Jones, was not in the courtroom to defend his work. He was subpoenaed, but was not allowed to testify by the overseer of USGS, the Department of the Interior. His boss, USGS Director Jim Stark, was present for Tonkin’s testimony. “It was hard to sit here and not say anything,” Stark told the Press, when Tonkin was picking apart the modeling work. The model that USGS designed is complicated and the review process long and involved, Stark said. Behind schedule for its release, there are 1,300 technical comments to resolve before the report goes to layout. A draft was sent to USGS partners prior to trial, including the DNR, the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Department of Health. DNR attorney Oliver Larson asked hydrogeologist Tonkin his conclusions after a review of the USGS Part A report, to which the expert witness said the researchers did not identify a correlation between groundwater pumping and the level of White Bear Lake. “It is difficult to discern an effect of pumping; it has a small magnitude on White Bear Lake,” Tonkin said. The DNR witness was likely referring to page 48 of the 2016 USGS report that states “closed basin lake level changes were not correlated with mean groundwater withdrawals within their watershed or within a 2-mile buffer around the lake.” When asked what kind of conditions would recreate levels of 919 feet, Tonkin replied, “a change in the balance between precipitation and evaporation.” During her cross examination, plaintiff attorney Katie Crosby Lehmann asked Tonkin if he did any field tests? “No.” Was he aware that the drinking water contains 11 to 58 percent surface water? “Yes,” Tonkin replied. “It confirms the lake loses to groundwater in the down gradient.” She also asked the expert for the DNR if groundwater extraction has the potential to change the level of White Bear Lake? Tonkin answered, “Yes,” again adding it is “subsidiary to climate.”
FLAGPOLE PROJECT: Lions need community’s help FROM PAGE 1A
should have a tall flag-pole, set in a prominent place, the patriotic, enterprising citizens of this city and surrounding communities the various organizations and all who will are requested to join in contributions to the fund. The Press believes the most suitable location for it would be in the southwest corner of Washington Park, where the flag could be seen a half mile both up and down the Boulevard. It would be a beautiful mark of enterprise and patriotism, as well as highly ornamental. In order to start the enterprise, The Press posts its contribution of $5. Who will be next?” Three times the paper ran that same piece, listing the names of early contributors at the bottom. As donations grew, so did the list of names and businesses published under “Flag Pole Fund.” “People would give $1 or $2 for the project, which was a lot of money back then,” added Lion Farley, who researched the monument’s history. “The whole community got involved. It was a great project and I want to see the community and the Lions recreate the process.” The pink-hued stones for the monument base, it was noted, came from cell blocks of the old Stillwater prison. The only building nearby was the train depot. The Works Progress Administration provided labor for the project and left what Farley calls a “data box” under the WPA sign. It’s basically a time capsule, and no one

knows what’s in it. The club’s goal is to get at least $40,000 donated for the project by the end of July with the remainder coming from the Lions and hopefully veterans groups like the American Legion and VFW. They want to dedicate the flagpole on either Veterans Day Nov. 11, 2017 or, at the latest, Memorial Day, just like in 1939. People wishing to donate to the flagpole fund can do so by check, payable to the White Bear Lake Lions Club Foundation. Write “The Soldiers Memorial Flagpole Project” on the memo line. Mail to WBL Lions Club Foundation, 2228 Fourth St., White Bear Lake, MN 55110. A donation link will also be set up on the White Bear Lake Lion’s Club Foundation website.

Lake conservation district coughs up fiscal policy BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Better late than never. The group responsible for protecting the city's most previous natural resource approved a fund balance policy at its March meeting. For years, city leaders have been asking the White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) for a policy, perturbed that the board's bank balance is twice its budget. Communities surrounding the lake, namely White Bear Lake, White Bear Township, Mahtomedi, Birchwood and Dellwood, are assessed an annual fee to support the district's mission to protect and preserve the lake. The city of White Bear Lake pays the most at 45 percent and City Council members have been complaining about the lack of a policy to better steward taxpayer money. Its current fund balance is $200,000. Approved March 21, the WBLCD resolution points out that the district has a responsibility to continue operations in the event of resources being restricted or unavailable, an obligation to maintain an adequate balance for necessary programs and unplanned costs, as well as a responsibility to avoid excessive amounts of contingency funds. It was also noted the district has no line of credit to borrow funds for contingencies; its revenue is received sporadically and is not always predictable. After tabling the policy for a month,
the district board agreed to target its year-end fund balance to be no less than 150 percent of the budget for the following year and no more than 200 percent. Board members felt the district may incur unbudgeted expenses that could potentially be a large percentage of the total annual budget and could act in unison to nearly double the district's total expenses in any given year. Examples of expenses include: • Eurasian milfoil treatment, which is the district's largest expense. The cost varies according to acres treated. • Other invasive species that may enter the lake and require treatment. • Unplanned costs due to legal actions, with the deductible on its liability policy set at $50,000, or roughly half the annual budget. • Unforeseen expenses due to environmental issues, surveys, increased law enforcement and outside professional services. • A loss of office space that may require payment of market rates. The WBLCD currently has an office in the basement of City Hall. The policy also noted that the district's revenue may fall unexpectedly for reasons that may include a loss of boat slip fees in the Commercial Bay area due to low water levels, natural disasters, fire or an entity unable to pay; or a contributing community unable or unwilling to pay its annual assessment. Prior to the vote, Mahtomedi board member Gene Altstatt asked that the

looking for a limit. He was backed up by WBLCD attorney Alan Kantrud, who stated the district will get "pushback" from the cities if the balance reaches 200 percent.
Discord in Commercial Bay prompts new committee WHITE BEAR LAKE — The White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) formed a Commercial Bay task group last week in response to discontent among business owners. Mahtomedi Director and WBLCD Vice Chair Mark Ganz will lead the new subcommittee to address allotted dock space in the bay. Tally’s Dockside owner Keith Dehnert emailed the board earlier in the month to ask for fair treatment, requesting the city of White Bear Lake docks and Docks of White Bear be within their authorized dock use area (ADUA). The city encroached to the south and Docks of White Bear has a T dock that is out 600 feet and encroaches to the north, by three slips, Dehnert said. He asked that both parties move their docks to the south. Tally’s also wants a setback on Docks of White Bear Lake (in front of Admiral D’s) from the north edge of its ADUA to allow ample navigation for everyone. A letter to the board was also sent by Peter Sampair, appealing a Feb. 21 decision to reduce his slips from 12 to 10. Sampair, who owns the Acqua property, wrote that the board’s decision was based on false information. He also objected to accusations by Lake Utilization Committee members that he was trying to “sneak in”
12 boats without approval. In his Feb. 23 letter, Sampair added that references during the meeting that he was “slick” were disrespectful and untrue. He provided the board documents showing approval of his amended dock application, pointing out his boat slip density is lower than his neighbors’. Tally’s has one slip per 2.1 feet of lake frontage, the city of White Bear Lake has one slip per 2.3 feet, and Sampair (Acqua) has one slip per 2.5 feet, he said. Sampair is asking the board to reconsider its decision, saying if his variance isn’t approved, he will no longer support variances for Brian McGoldrick, manager of Docks of White Bear, and the city’s dock variances. Ganz, who chairs the lake utilization committee, said there will be no changes to dock configurations for 2017, adding the group will find a resolution to the Commercial Bay problem by next year. In additional action March 21, the WBLCD board: • Gave administrative secretary Julie Yoho more hours (28 per week) for more tasks and a raise. Yoho will be tasked with reviewing a League of Women Voters report regarding open meeting laws to see if anything needs to change, improve commu-
nication with lake homeowners, digitally file permits and variances, assist with raingardens, and monitor articles pertaining to White Bear Lake. Her hourly rate will increase from $20 to $26 for an annual salary of $35,000. WBLCD Chairman Bryan DeSmet said the raise will amount to an additional cost of $15,500. • Heard from Mike Parenteau, chair of the lake quality committee, that the district did not receive a grant from the DNR for Eurasian watermilfoil treatment. Every year about 100 acres is treated for the invasive weed, which Parenteau said is getting worse. “The amount we treat is consistent,” he said, “but with water level coming up, it’s expanding.” The White Bear Lake board member would like to treat to a deeper level and sooner than in the past. He also reported the lake level is up but did not have an official reading because the DNR monitoring station by Manitou Island needs to be recalibrated. • Reinstated the lake level resolution committee, which will be chaired by Gene Altstatt and Pat McCann. In other appointments, Scott Costello will now head the lake education committee. Debra Neutkens
No ice out record this year Everyone expected the ice to go out weeks ago, setting a new record. It didn’t happen. Instead, winter returned and the lake refroze. “I’ve never seen that before,” said “ice lady” Jan Holtz Kraemer, the official ice-out watchman for White Bear Lake. “But at least it got people to stop thinking the ice was out.” Kraemer announced the lake ice free on March 23, a week later than last year’s record date of March 16. “There was still ice earlier in the day but once it started to rain, that was it,” she noted. “The ice was gone. Even the snow is gone this year.” The 2017 holdout was the southern corner of the lake by Birchwood and Mahtomedi, Kraemer added. “The ice got caught back in that area. It dragged on a little bit this year.” The latest ice-out date remains May 4, 1950. Debra Neutkens DALE HANDY | SUBMITTED

Foundation welcomes food shelf as new partner
SUBMITTED
Not part of job description Two members of the Ramsey County Sheriffs Department went above and beyond late Saturday afternoon March 25 removing a tent full of belongings from the lake. The contents included a couch, love seat, propane tank, a big trunk, carpet, a hatchet, golf club, fishing gear, sleeping bags, clothes and much more. They spent hours in the cold water cleaning this up for the residents. A nearby homeowner wanted to share these pictures in hopes that they will get some well deserved recognition.
The Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation (GWBLCF) is pleased to announce a new partnership with the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf. The two organizations recently signed an agreement establishing the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf Endowment Fund. Andrea Kish-Bailey, food shelf executive director, said, “This year the WBAEFS is celebrating 40 years of service to the communities of White Bear. We are pleased to commemorate this milestone by creating an endowment fund with the GWBLCF. By establishing an endowment, we are guaranteeing to be here for our neighbors who need us in the future.” In any given month in 2016, 590 families visited the food shelf for food and support. Of the 3,420 individuals served during the year, 57 percent were children. “Since 1977, the Food Shelf has been a valuable and respected asset in our community, with great leadership and volunteers dedicated to serving their
neighbors in the White Bear area,” said Bill Foussard, foundation board chair. “The Foundation is excited to partner with them and looks forward to helping with the growth of their endowment.” The new food shelf fund joins the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society Endowment Fund which was established at the foundation in 2016. Individuals interested in contributing to either of these funds may do so by contacting the foundation. The Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation seeks to inspire philanthropy and strengthen the lives of the individuals and families in the communities that share the shores of White Bear Lake. One of its purposes is to provide a home for permanent funds established by other nonprofit organizations as a way of providing long-term sustainability. Agency endowments return annual distributions to that organization while the principal continues to grow. Submitted

High school adds academic boosts, fun clubs to lunchtime BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
MAHTOMEDI — During lunch at Mahtomedi High School, you can find students outside on a walk, working ahead on pottery or engineering projects, studying trigonometry with a teacher in the library, playing cards, making fishing poles or discussing politics over a lunch tray — and much more. The school's new lunch and learn program has revolutionized the noon hour. School librarian Reggie Buresh, who has worked at the school for about 20 years, said she has seen students in the media center who didn't previously spend time there. It has become a hub for quiet socialization while students do homework. A table full of freshman girls in the media center said they spend the first half of their lunch hour studying most every day. Last Wednesday, it was math. “It gives you a chance to get your homework done,” said Sylvia Kemp. “It gives you a nice break during the day,” added Hannah Dorr. Their friend, Elena Carlson, noted she once took a makeup test during lunch time. Senior Riley Staedt has already finished most of his required engineering class projects with the extra time when the Fab Lab is open. When he finishes his final project, he said he plans to keep working in the Fab Lab to prepare for his engineering major in college. Last Wednesday during lunch hour he was designing a longboard for fun. Down the hall and around a corner, junior Mackenzie Ryan was working on a piece of pottery. “I'm able to come and finish my projects before they are due,” she said. Another student noted he comes to the pottery classroom to decompress. Last year, a staff committee formed to brainstorm how
it could help students unwind at school and accomplish their academic goals. “We noticed our student stress level was going up,” said Matt Huss, social studies teacher. Committee members brainstormed and then researched several schools in the region and across the country that offered students a time during the school day to meet for clubs or get in extra studying time. “As teachers, we have a prep period, so why not give students a prep period to take care of the things they need — take a deep breath,” said Courtney McCormick, engineering program coordinator. What the committee came up with was the idea to create a versatile lunch hour — lunch and learn — when students could get extra tutoring from teachers, do school work, join clubs or simply take a break. Five minutes was taken away from every other class period with the idea that students would be getting more quality time with teachers and classmates during the lunch hour. It consists of about two half-hour blocks, with time in between for students to move around the school. Teachers choose which block they will offer their classrooms and choose whether to host tutoring, clubs or activities. Teachers still have their duty-free half-hour lunch. The program was piloted in the fall and started full swing this semester. The cafeteria service added more grab-and-go foods to its menu. Students can eat in most classrooms if a teacher allows it — but not anywhere there is carpet. So far, there have been no issues with students eating in classrooms, Huss noted. The Fab Lab, media center and computer lab are open for learning. The gym is often open for students to relax by shooting baskets. Staff can bring in guest speakers or meet with students about college and career counseling.

Students in athletics can make up tests. Students with low grades can also make up work without being pulled from class or coming in before or after school. Club participation has skyrocketed — particularly politics club and French club. “Something like our French club has seen participation just go through the roof,” McCormick said. And students who love playing cards have found each other. Students are meeting less before and after school — and likely getting more sleep, McCormick added. The schedule also allows students to prepare for the more independent environment of college, she noted. It also offers the opportunity for students to connect with teachers on a more personal level. “Kids will open up to us more when they know you are not grading them,” Huss said, who holds a fantasy golf club in his classroom.

Bus line proposed along Highway 61 The Rush Line Corridor Policy Advisory Committee chose Highway 61 over a nearby rail corridor as its recommended choice for a bus line into downtown White Bear Lake. The committee approved Alternative 1, a bus rapid transit route operating in a dedicated guideway from Union Depot in downtown St. Paul to White Bear Lake, as the draft locally preferred alternative at a meeting March 23, according to a statement.
Now Playing!
The proposed route would follow the Bruce Vento Regional Trail from St. Paul through Maplewood, pass by the Maplewood Mall and continue into Vadnais Heights on the Bruce Vento Trail, according to committee documents. The bus would likely join mixed traffic from Marina Triangle to downtown White Bear Lake. Highway 61 was chosen as the routing option north of I-694 over the adjacent privately owned BNSF Railway corridor because it is more cost effective to build due to public ownership of the right of way, according to a committee statement. The proposed stations along the way will also serve higher-employment areas including downtown White Bear Lake, Marina Triangle, Cedar Avenue and County Road E. Proposed stops along the Highway 61 options include County Road E or Buerkle Road, County Road F or Cedar, Marina Triangle and Fourth Street, according to a prior interview with Andy Gitzlaff of the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority. The bus line would likely operate every 10 minutes during peak periods and less frequently during evenings, nights and weekends, Gitzlaff noted. It would
take about 37 minutes to travel between downtown St. Paul and White Bear Lake. The bus rapid transit line is 13 miles. In St. Paul, the draft route selected will run from Phalen Village to Union Depot via Phalen Boulevard, Pennsylvania Avenue, Jackson Street and Robert Street. Future bus connections north of White Bear Lake will continue to be explored. A public hearing about the proposed bus line will be held 5 to 8 p.m. April 27 at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1390 Larpenteur Ave., St. Paul. Comments can also be sent via email to info@rushline.org or by U.S. mail to: Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority, Attn: Rush Line Corridor comments, 214 E. Fourth Street, Suite 200, Saint Paul MN 55101. The task force and committee plans to vote to adopt a locally preferred alternative May 25. Each city and county along the route will then vote on whether to endorse the alternative before more detailed environmental and engineering work will begin. Sara Marie Moore

Downtown salon holds shoe-cutting party Indulge Salon staff wanted to thank the community from the bottom of their “soles” for the donations to a project that provides shoes for African children. Indulge owner Kim Schoonover said clients donated 90 pairs of jeans for the Sole Hope project. Staff spent the evening March 23 cutting out pattern pieces that will be sent to Uganda and made into shoes. The remaining denim scraps were donated to the Blue Jeans Go Green Denim Recycling program to be turned into home insulation. The group cut up enough denim to make 50 pairs of shoes. Each shoe requires 12 pattern pieces, so it was quite a process, Schoonover said. A customer alerted the salon owner to the shoe project, telling her it was “right up her alley,” so Schoonover looked into the organization and decided to help. She
has long been an advocate for sustainable enterprise in third-world countries. Sole Hope’s website explains the importance of footwear to prevent foot-related diseases such as jiggers. Jiggers, a parasite that burrows beneath the skin, can lead to a crippling condition if left unchecked. The shoes, which have soles made from old tires, prevent the jiggers from entering the soles of the feet. The project also offers Ugandan men and women opportunity to earn a fair wage by making the shoes. Customers also contributed financially to the project, in addition to donating jeans. According to Schoonover, it costs about $10 to produce one pair of shoes. For more information on holding a shoe-cutting party or the nonprofit group, visit solehope.org. Debra Neutkens

Presents Workforce Success Stories: Showcasing Careers in Manufacturing and Skilled Trades PRODUCT DESIGN SPECIALIST GRATEFUL FOR COMPANY CULTURE AND LIFE’S GREATER PURPOSE By Nicola Kelley Hyser Jeff Randall, Product Design Specialist for Reell Precision Manufacturing in Vadnais Heights, has been with the company 10 years and in his current role for three. He recognizes his life’s journey has led him to Reell, a corporation rooted in Judeo-Christian values, that welcomes and draws on the richness of its spiritually diverse community: “I’m very appreciative of the many people in my life – my parents, my teachers, my wife and my Reell colleagues. They’ve all supported and encouraged me while I’ve worked toward my fouryear degree (BSME) in mechanical engineering. “I have an 18-month-old daughter, am working full-time and taking online college classes. Reell values work-life balance and is supportive of the growth and development of every coworker, and I’ve realized success. When I first interviewed with Reell’s George Larson for a drafting position, I had completed a CAD Drafter/Design degree related to mechanical engineering and had
begun taking general courses at Century College that would ultimately lead to a degree in mechanical engineering. My Century instructor, Tim Grebner, steered me to an online BSME program at the University of North Dakota (UND). “George liked that I was pursuing greater knowledge in my field, and he pushed for me to get the job. He’s been my advisor/project manager and mentor ever since. My colleagues have helped me better understand class material; George has shouldered some of my workload during school deadlines, and another project manager is my proctor for my online tests. I hope to have my BSME in three years.” Reell, nearly 50 years in operation, specializes in innovative torque solutions; the company’s patented technology is widely used in industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, aircraft interiors and medical technology. Jeff says, “One of the great things about working with mechanical engineers is being able to come up with new ideas or better ways of completing something. I like figuring things out and creating designs and calculations for prod-
Jeff Randall, Product Design Specialist, Reell Precision Manufacturing ucts that people use every day.” Upon graduation, Jeff says he will be able to contribute more to Reell, hopefully in a mechanical engineering role. All in all, Jeff has been on a journey toward his career goal for more than twenty years; he sees the purpose and joy in it, and hopes his story will inspire others: “My years of learning and working in the industry have been extremely advantageous. I not only recognize the usefulness of a product’s design and creation, but l also better understand my life’s meaning and purpose. Still, the joke at Reell about me is that I just show up at work for fun, and my career is actually going to school.”

Former Bear state champion wraps up stellar mat career at Augsburg BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Donny Longendyke, former two-time state champion wrestler for White Bear Lake, closed his collegiate career by wrestling in the national finals with Augsburg for the third straight season. “It’s been a good experience,” said Longendyke about Augsburg, where he spent three years, after leaving a Division I program at Nebraska. “I’ve been able to grow a lot as a wrestler and as a leader and get my academics in order.” Longendyke was NCAA Division III heavyweight champion in 2015 and finished runner-up to Zachery Rosebery of Delaware Valley (Pa.) the last two seasons. He lost 5-4 to Rosebery in the finals last year, and 3-2 this season at LaCrosse, Wisconsin, on March 11. “The first time I faced (Rosebery), I kind of overlooked him. This time, I was dealing with injuries all year,” said Longendyke, who had a torn meniscus removed 10 days before nationals. To reach the finals, the 6-foot-3, 285-pound Longendyke (27-4) avenged two earlier losses this season by defeating Lance Evans of Wartburg, Iowa, 10-1, highlighted by a deep dive for a takedown and near fall. Longendyke was national champion in 2015, beating Terrance Jean-Jacques of Rhode Island College 1-0 in the finals. He was 44-2 that year. In his Augsburg career, Longendyke had a 110-19 record with 62 pins. He helped them win team nationals in 2015 and place second to Wartburg this year.
Due to graduate this year with a degree in history, Longendyke plans to take more classes with the goal of being a history teacher and coach. At White Bear Lake, Longendyke was state champion in 2010 (47-0 record) and again in 2011 (43-1), finishing as the Bears all-time win leader with a 189-25 ledger. As a sophomore, he lost by one point in the state finals; that’s how close he Donny Longendyke was to being a three-time state champion. “Donny re-defined the heavyweight position,” said Craig Nasvik, his high school coach. Rather than concentrate on upper-body throws, Longendyke confounded opponents with shooting moves like the smaller wrestlers. “Any kind of tournament he could get into, he went. He was a triple-crown winner (with state titles) in Greco, freestyle and folk.” Ranked first in the country at heavyweight by one scouting group, InterMat, he was heavily recruited and signed with Nebraska. He had a good start with the Cornhuskers, going 34-10 in open competition while red-shirting his first year. However, he had a 6-11 record as a starter in his freshman season. His spot was taken over by a teammate, and he left Nebraska.

After a year out of of college, during which time one of his jobs was assistant coach with the Bears, Longendyke was encouraged by his high school coaches to resume his mat career. He did so at Augsburg, one of the nation’s top Division III programs. Not done with wrestling; his next event will be the University Games in June, competing in senior level Greco-Roman. “That won’t be for a while, though,” said Longendyke, relieved to have some time to heal up.

Bears’ Triple-A nominee among 32 honored at state tournament BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Douglas Shield is just the kind of student the Minnesota State High School League had in mind when it created the Triple A Award back in 1988 to recognize students who develop their potential by embracing all their schools have to offer. The White Bear Lake nominee was selected by the MSHSL as one of 32 regional winners of the program to honor achievers in academics, arts, and athletics. The 32 seniors were presented Saturday at halftime of one of the televised state basketball championship games at Target Center. Academically, Shield says he’s always been “driven to master my course material, not just get an A.” He’s earned multiple student-of-the-month awards in the most advanced physics, pre-calculus and physical science classes — honors given for not only absorbing the material but also helping to impart it to fellow students. He has excelled in the top math classes: Calculus BC as a junior and Multivariable Calculus as a senior. His grade-point-average weighted with bonus points for honors classes is 4.3056, and his un-weighted GPA is 4.0. Musically, Shield’s passion is the trombone, as a member of the concert and pep bands since ninth grade. Seeking
to get more involved, he became section leader for the low brass as a sophomore on the freshman-sophomore campus, joining a team that runs the annual large group ensemble contest and helps incoming freshmen to “get excited about the band program.” The last two years, he’s gotten elected band secretary at the junior-senior campus, charged with taking care of details like attendance, the band calendar, and recording meeting notes. Athletically, Shield has been one of the Nordic ski captains since 10th grade and made all-conference as a junior. He started practicing every day in sixth grade, including Saturday practices with the Bear varsity, to develop skills and confidence. He has taught waxing and ski technique to not only teammates but the current head coach, a late starter in Nordic. He also participates in track and cross country. “My participation in arts, athletics, and academics has made me a better individual,” Shield declared, especially in developing leadership and learning skills. The band, for instance, has over 200 students, in five band periods, between two schools, so his leadership ventures have challenged him to hone teamwork and organizational methods. Meanwhile, participation in three endurance sports have helped him find
“an inner strength … to push my physical and mental self beyond what many of my peers are capable of.” And helping peers in rigorous classes has “helped me become a better learner.” This is especially true of science classes. “I have developed a passion that may eventually turn into a career,” said Shield, who will attend the University of Michigan and major in Chemical Engineering while joining a campus running club. “After college, I would like to work for a company as a chemical engineer in the Twin Cities,” Shield said. “I would like to become a Worldloppet Gold Master by completing 10 different marathon ski races in 10 different countries.” His parents are Tom and Carol Shield. The family lives in Vadnais Heights.
About the Triple-A program The MSHSL conducts this program in partnership with AAA Minneapolis and Fairview Sports and Orthopedic Care. “We are honored to salute the thousands of high school students who participate in high school activities and excel in the classroom,” says Dave Stead, executive director of the League. Jesse Simon of AAA Minneapolis marketing and communications stated his firm is proud to take part: “Supporting exemplary

Saints kick-off 25th anniversary season with Mary Tyler Moore tribute ST. PAUL - Last season the St. Paul Saints honored one of Minnesota’s iconic entertainers, Prince, with One Last Purple Game.

The tams will have blue and white stripes on the majority of the cap, with the bottom of the cap solid blue with two black stripes, similar
to the color of Moore’s tam. In addition, at the end of the second inning the Saints will play the opening sequence on the video board and fans will be asked to spin around and throw their tams in the air at the same time as Moore. As part of the pomp and circumstance of the Opening Night team introductions the Saints will pay tribute to Moore’s character as a news producer by inviting out local Minnesota newscasters. Each newscaster will be paired up with a Saints player and will take the field with the team prior to the game.

Another summer of ‘Y’ lifeguards at Mahtomedi Beach City has long, historic relationship with YMCA
lesson, Hoefer said. “Mahtomedi continues to be a critical partner and community for YMCA,” Hoefer said. He noted one in four Mahtomedi households participates in the YMCA, and said it was a conservative estimate.

MAHTOMEDI — To carry on with its heritage of providing swimming lessons on a White Bear Lake beach, the City Council approved the operations agreement March 21 with the YMCA of Greater Twin Cities. The YMCA movement to serve young men during the Industrial Revolution was founded in 1844 by Sir George Williams in London. By 1856, the YMCA had a foothold in St. Paul, and in 1888 had a lakeside location at the foot of Neptune Street in Mahtomedi. The YMCA in early Mahtomedi was a social gathering place connected to the Chautauqua movement and featured rowing and fishing lessons, along with camping. This Mahtomedi YMCA may have been the site of the first organized swimming lessons in the country — 22 years ahead of the rest of the country and ahead of the "official" date of the first-ever swimming lessons in 1909, provided by the YMCA. The city is able to keep up with the long tradition of providing aquatic safety because in 2016, the YMCA took over all aquatic programs for the city of Maplewood, including those at the Maplewood Community Center. The YMCA also went back to performing
lifeguard services at Mahtomedi Beach after a 12-year hiatus. For 2017, the YMCA proposed continuing to staff the beach seven days a week starting Friday, June 10 until Sunday, Aug. 20. The cost for 2017 services will be $23,500, an increase of $200 from 2016. At present, YMCA will always have two or three lifeguards at the beach. “The partnership with Mahtomedi and Maplewood can hopefully continue in exciting ways,” said YMCA Executive Director Shane Hoefer during his presentation. “Mahtomedi Beach is a beautiful beach — truly a gem on the lake,” Hoefer said. “It's the beach that all of our lifeguards fight to be lifeguarding at.” Hoefer praised the wisdom of council in its support of safe swimming. “Mahtomedi is only one of two organizations operating a beach on the lake, so thank you for our partnership,” he told council. Water safety is imperative for anyone who lives in this state, Hoefer noted. Drowning is the second-leading cause of accidental death for children aged 1 to 14. The overwhelming majority of drowning victims belong to nonwhite minority groups. Partnering with Mahtomedi Public Schools, the YMCA

“THE BOSS BABY” (PG) [SOME MILD RUDE HUMOR.]
— Tobey Maguire narrates this entertaining, creative, funny, family-oriented, animated, 97-minute comedy in which emotions run high and fragile for a 7-year-old boy (Miles Christopher Bakshi) when he learns that his parents (voiceovers by Lisa Kudrow and Jimmy Kimmel), who are executives at a pet company, have brought home a talking, precocious, suit-wearing baby brother (voiceover by Alec Baldwin) with grownup capabilities, and eventually they join forces to stop the money-hungry Puppy Co. CEO (voiceover by Steve Buscemi) from fulfilling a dastardly scheme of selling puppies that will never die.
“THE LAST WORD” (R) [LANGUAGE.]
— After a lonely, cantankerous, no-nonsense, controlling, divorced, retired, 81-year-old advertising executive (Shirley MacLaine) botches a suicide attempt, reads overblown obituaries, and then requests that a stuck-in-a-rut newspaper journalist (Amanda Seyfried) write her obituary so that she can oversee the composition in this touching, bittersweet, thought-provoking, well-acted, star-studded (Philip Baker Hall, Tom Everett Scott, Anne Heche, Steven Culp, John Billingsley and Joel Murray), 108-minute film based on Stuart Ross Fink’s novel, she suddenly tries to make a difference at the end of her life by challenging and bonding with the writer as she delves into her colorful past, by befriending a precocious 9-yearold girl (Ann Jewel Lee Dixon) from the projects, and by convincing a producer (Thomas Sadoski) to give her a gig as a DJ at the local radio station.

WEEKLY AVERAGES
We had a 5-day streak of cloudiness, which included a little rain, from March 23-27. Rain totals were fairly light. I totaled only 0.31 inch, which brought my monthly precipitation total to 0.78 inch, about half of normal. As I mentioned last week, we’ve been running colder than normal much of the month, but with our recent month-ending warm surge, we should finish warmer than normal for the 19th straight month.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — “Bezhik, niizh, nswi” — one, two, three — counted a White Bear Lake Area High School junior at an Ojibwe language class after school last week. Tristan Kemp, who has Ojibwe heritage, was the winner of an American Indian game at the class organized by White Bear Lake Area Schools Native American Parent Group. The game, where players toss symbols in a wooden bowl to gain the highest number of sticks, used to be played to settle arguments, said teacher Hope Flanagan. “Sometimes people would play this for days,” said Flanagan, who also teaches a preschool Ojibwe language immersion program in South Minneapolis. Ojibwe is on record as one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn, Flanagan said. She would know fi rst-hand, because she is not a fi rst-language Ojibwe speaker. Flanagan was born near Niagara Falls and has Seneca blood, but grew up around the Ojibwe community in Minnesota. There are only about 100 fi rst-language Ojibwe speakers left, she added. She teaches Ojibwe to the next generation because she doesn't want the Midwest to “lose a way of looking at the world.” Ojibwe is a verb-heavy language, she explained. The meaning of a phrase or sentence is built around a verb. Verbs are surrounded by verb modifiers. Nouns are even created out of verbs. “The action is what is important,” she said. The result is a worldview focused on actions rather than objects. Ojibwe culture is nonmaterialistic,
Participants have been working on birch bark biting art, which are patterns made in birch bark with the teeth. Past classes have also included drum songs and storytelling. All sixth- through 12th-graders, teachers, parents and community members are invited to participate. Upcoming classes meet 3 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays April 11 and 18 and May 2 and 9 at the North Campus High School in room 238. For more information, contact Mike Huerth at Michael. Huerth@isd624.org.
and intentions are more important than outcomes, she explained. Ojibwe did not have its spelling standardized until 1995 and has no word for “spell,” she added. The community Ojibwe language and culture classes at White Bear Lake Area High School began last fall.

Four area specialty shops cook up more than yarn in annual Shop Hop BY PAT ZEITNER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
What do specialty yarn shops and sports bars have in common? They both serve food at least once a year. 2017 hosts the 11th annual Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop. The long weekend of April 6-9 is when these metro area niche stores hold not only a yarn event, attended mostly by women, but a food drive that stands with the best of them. Kelly Judson, owner of Double Ewe Yarn Shop, located at 9205 Lexington Ave. N in Circle Pines, is ready to get cookin’. “The gist of it, people go shop to shop to shop, they get a passport stamp, there are special yarns, there are collectables,” she explained. But perhaps the most popular collection of the shop hop is the food drive. According to their website, (www.minnesotayarnshophop.com), in 2015 locally owned and operated participating yarn shops brought in over $55,000 for Twin Cities area food banks. Judson said she saw hundreds of people in her shop during last year’s
hop, her fourth, and collected $3,948 and 88 pounds of food. The money and food collected at Double Ewe is donated to Centennial area food banks. These specialty yarn shops in the Press Publications readership area are also participating in this year’s shop hop: • Lila and Claudine’s, located at 86 Mahtomedi Ave., Mahtomedi. Last year they donated to two area food shelves: $1,000 and 75 pounds of food was given to Mahtomedi; $3,000 was given to White Bear Lake. Sisters Kirsten Skoglund and Polly Hart own the shop, and this is their seventh Shop Hop. • Darn. Knit. Anyway, at 423 S Main St. in Stillwater, collected $3,300 and 70 pounds of food last year for Valley Outreach in Stillwater. Aimee Pelletier is the shop owner and this is also her shop’s seventh Shop Hop. • Marjorie Intveld owns A Sheepy Yarn Shoppe, located at 2185 Third St., White Bear Lake. Her shop collected $1,345 and 50 pounds of food for the White Bear Emergency Food Shelf last year. Hers is one of the original shops that started the hop.
A total of 14 specialty yarn shops in the entire metro area will participate in this year’s Shop Hop, and all shop locations are shown on the website. Besides serving up a sizeable food drive, the main dish of the specialty yarn stores’ annual gathering is...yarn. Each crafter picks up a passport at the first shop they visit. This year’s theme is music, and there are a variety of collectables and giveaways worked into the theme at each shop. The owners of the shops are also charged with designing an original knit or crochet pattern to offer their hoppers, corresponding with a select “top secret” yarn from their inventory, not revealed until the first day of the event. Hoppers have four days to get their passports stamped and collect souvenir pins from each shop. They have opportunities to win door prizes and collectables at each shop for donations in food or cash toward the food bank sponsored by that particular shop. The yarn shops will accept money and food donations for the food bank from the public even if they don’t want to shop. But
each will welcome you to come in and look around. “Yarn stores are very social places,” Judson said. And who doesn’t like a Shop Hop. “Everybody loves it. That’s our biggest event every year,” Judson gleamed.

The hand painted wool yarns offered at specialty yarn shops fill a niche not offered at large chain stores. Small yarn shops cannot compete with the large carriers’ prices on acrylic yarns.

The City Council conducted the following business at its March 21 meeting: • Approved a request from Jason and Julie Deans for a height variance of 1.5 feet from the maximum 15-foot allowable height for an accessory structure in order to construct the loft space for a previously approved attached garage on the property located at 368 Warner Ave. S. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance as requested. • Approved the feasibility report for Historic District Improvements – Phase 3. The improvements are part of the long-range plan resulting from the 2012 Historic District study to amend pavement deterioration, poor drainage, aged utilities and erosion on city streets between TH 244 and White Bear Lake. The city plans for roadway reconstruction and reclamation, mill and overlay, curb and gutter placement on a street by street basis, water main replacement, minor sanitary sewer repairs and storm sewer utility improvements. Roadways included in the work are Park Avenue south of Dahlia Street; the alleyway between Dahlia Street and Crocus Street; Birch and Ash streets; the alleyway connecting Ash and Trunk Highway 244; Wildwood Beach Road; Wildwood Beach alleyway from Ash Street north; Doover Lane; Halcyon Lane; and the Trunk Highway 244 service road from Ash Street to Dover Lane. The total Phase 3 project cost will amount to $2.9 million, which will be funded through the city street improvement fund, utility funds, grant funding through the Rice Creek Watershed District and $194,000 in special assessments. A public hearing is planned for April 18, with construction tentatively to begin in 2018 from spring to fall. The assessment hearing is scheduled for fall 2018, and project completion would likely be in June 2019. • Appointed Advisory Commission members. These members occupy three seats on the Planning Commission, two seats on the Parks Commission, three seats on the Finance Commission and three seats on the Environmental Commission. • Passed a resolution approving and authorizing the execution of a MnDOT contract concerning the cost and maintenance of a flashing beacon system. As part of the CSAH 12 improvement project, the city plans to install a rectangular rapid beacon pedestrian crosswalk signage system at the intersection of Mahtomedi Avenue and Ash Street. The beacon will be installed for pedestrian safety, and a pedestrian-activated light will flash while a pedestrian is in the crosswalk. The system will be constructed within the MnDOT right of way but will be owned and operated by the city. Installation costs are estimated to be between $20,000 and $30,000 and will be funded through the city's Municipal State Aid fund account. • Passed a resolution supporting a bill calling for dedicated state funding for city streets. The bill calls for a $3 fee added to license plate tabs to be dedicated to cities statewide. The impact on Mahtomedi would be the receipt of $49,000 annually for street funds. • Awarded a contract to Larson Contracting of Oakdale in the amount of $39,200 for the piping for Phase I – White Bear Lake outlet improvements. • Awarded a contract to Lametti & Sons of Hugo in the amount of $20,600 for pipe lining for Phase I – White Bear Lake outlet improvements. Three bids were received for this portion of the project. Loretta Harding Eriic and Er Eric Eri and nd Kel Kelly’ Ke Kelly’s lyy s
