COVID-19: White Bear Lake extends state of emergency PAGE 12A
Food shelf’s ‘nojudgment zone’ embraces influx of new clients BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR
As more and more people find themselves out of a job amid the COVID-19 pandemic, area food shelves are doing all they can to ensure that they can meet the increased demand. The White Bear Lake Emergency Food Shelf and the Centennial Community Food Shelf have both adapted their operations to minimize health risks to staff members, volunteers and clients.
Blood drive still on, thanks to coordinated effort BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER
When First Presbyterian Church was forced to cancel its April blood drive amid COVID-19 concerns, organizers scrambled to find another venue. They reached out to the White Bear Rotary Club, which was having a blood drive of its own, for help. Thanks to Rotarians like Bryan Belisle, who made the arrangements, and the city, for opening the Armory, the Community Blood Drive is still on April 21. It couldn’t come at a better time.

The earliest recorded ice out was March 16, 2016, while the latest was May 4, 2018, beating out the 1950 record by a few hours.

The White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf first started planning how it was going to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of March. By mid-March, the nonprofit had made the tough decision to suspend its most of its normal programming, suspend the use of volunteers and transition to a drive-up model. “Our building is pretty small; it can get a little congested, so we just knew that that was going to be a major issue to have volunteers in and out, people coming back from spring break, snowbirds coming back,” Executive Director Perry Peterson explained. “We no longer have volunteers. That’s a big deal. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of this organization.” Without volunteers, the organization’s five staff members have had to step up and put in more hours than usual. “We have had to refocus our roles to deal with the immediate emergency. That is just kind of the reality for us,” Peterson said. “Our staff is really focused on our main mission, and that is food insecurity.” The food shelf has suspended its Bonus Saturday program, but still offers driveup services from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is important to note that people can stop by at any time during that time frame. “Please don’t feel like you have to come early; it creates a traffic jam,” Peterson explained. “We are not really set up to deal with 20 cars in a row in our little parking lot.”

Trust the experts
I
t seems like Minnesotans are doing a good job of hunkering down, as people are generally following the “Stay at home” mandate. I know from speaking with various friends that some still believe this is over-hyped while others have over-the-top anxiety about it. Times of uncertainty and unrest can bring about misinformation. We all are looking for ways to say safe from COVID-19 and want to find glimmers of hope. There are recommendations circulating about things to do to stay healthy, but many are not are proven. We have heard that this virus mostly affects the elderly and immune compromised people, yet we are hearing reports of young, healthy people becoming severely ill and even dying. We have heard it will disappear with the warm weather, but we won’t know that’s true until it happens. Health care experts and government leaders have pretty consistently suggested two factors they believe Publisher’s will help stop the spread – hand washing, good hygiene and social View distancing/staying at home. Let’s not rely on our own ideas Carter Johnson and beliefs of what makes sense, because none of this makes t’ li t to the experts and be wary of sense. L Let’s listen information that contradicts expert advice. Home school Our local schools kicked off distance learning this week. Thank you to the teachers and school administrators who have worked hard the past couple of weeks to figure out how it’s going to work. Best of luck to parents and kids as they adjust to having their formal education happen at home. I’m sure there will be a learning curve. Having these capabilities set up will be beneficial in the long run. As parents lets get those kiddos up and ready for school. Historic stimulus According to many reports small business makes up more than 90% of all employers. I’ve spoken with numerous local business owners in the past week, and we are all feeling a rising tension. Many local businesses and organizations have been ordered closed through the first week of May. Among those considered “essential” and therefore still open, many are operating with a skeleton workforce or staff working remotely. While the federal stimulus package and state-level relief efforts may be helpful to some, I fear we will lose many local businesses and local jobs by the time this is over. Families are also tightening up their household budgets as they worry about jobs and the stock market. I know mine has, but we are still trying to put some dollars back into the community in strategic ways. This includes spending at our local grocery store, and ordering take out 1-2 times a week at our favorite local restaurants. We are also continuing to give to the local church and organizations we care about. It seems if we all do our part to help our local economy, even in small ways, we can help the community institutions we love will be here after the pandemic. Press Publications is among the local small businesses that needs your help more than ever. We are one of very few newspapers utilizing a voluntary subscription model -most “free” papers have had to move to subscriptions to stay alive. If you are an online news junkie, then you know most digital news outlets require a payment after a couple of page views or to access the stories you really want to read. It’s the only way newspapers can stay in business. Our goal is to be your best source of community news and information through this pandemic. We don’t anticipate disruptions in service. This month, I ask you, our readers, to support your local newspaper with a subscription. I thank all of our supporters who have been with us through the ups and downs. We will get through this time together. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

Spring into saving for retirement with National Retirement Planning Week
ational Retirement Planning Week starts on March 30, and its purpose is to educate Americans about the importance of saving for retirement. Unfortunately, many reports are released each year that show many Americans aren’t prepared for their golden years. The 2019 Retirement Preparedness Survey reports that approximately half of adults are not saving for retirement. This National Retirement Planning Week, don’t be another -- resolve Movers & statistic to take charge of your financial Shakers future and create Skip Johnson a long-term plan that sets you on a path toward a secure retirement. The following is an overview of the most common retirement savings vehicles so you can decide which options best fits you and your personal financial situation. 401(k)s: Most people are familiar with a 401(k) or employer-sponsored retirement savings plan. The contribution limit for each plan is $19,500 in 2020 and 26,000 for those over age 50. Since pre-tax contributions are automatically deducted from each of your paychecks, you don’t have to think about it. Even better, if your
employer matches a percentage of your contribution it’s like getting free money! Roth 401(k) A Roth 401(k) is another type of employer-sponsored retirement savings plan. With a Roth 401(k), your contribution grows tax-free and is not taxed when you withdraw it (provided you keep your money in it for at least five years). 403(b)s and 457 A 403(b) is non-profit version of a 401(k) and a 457 is the government version. IRAs: An Individual retirement account (IRA) is a good savings vehicle for those without a 401(k), or those who want to supplement their 401(k) with another retirement vehicle. There is a cap to the amount you can contribute to it each year (in 2020, the cap is $6,000 and $7,000 for those 50 or older). The two main types of IRAs are Traditional and Roth. Traditional Your money will be set into a tax-deferred account, meaning you won’t pay taxes on the money until you make a withdrawal. Also, your contribution is tax-deductible. Roth As with the Roth 401(k), your money is offered total tax exemption in a Roth IRA. Your contribution grows tax-free and also not taxed when you withdraw it.
SEP IRA Self-employed pensions are retirement plans for individuals who are self-employed or have a few employees. The IRS requires that employers make contributions for qualified employees that match their own contributions. In 2020, pre-tax contributions are maxed out at $57,000, and the money can grow tax-deferred until withdrawn. Simple IRA Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees are retirement plans for small businesses of 100 employees or less. In this plan, employees, not the employer, make contributions to their account. In 2020, employees can make pre-tax contributions up to $13,500, and an extra $3,000 for those over age 50, and the money can grow tax-deferred until withdrawn. Catapult to Cash While National Retirement Planning Week is a little over a week away, it’s never too soon to start saving. A successful plan not only considers your income needs and expenses in retirement but also takes into account a diversity of asset classes, minimizes taxes and is adjusted regularly based on where you’re at in your life and your goals. The earlier you get started saving, the more likely you’ll not just spring but catapult into a having a substantial amount in your retirement account. Skip Johnson is a founding partner of Great Waters Financial, an insurance agency.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Getting student input absurd Regarding George Kimball’s letter on March 25, “Student input,” Mr. Kimball agrees with the White Bear School District to get input from students on programming and design elements for their own education. He also states its widely accepted, in business or education, to solicit input from clients. To the White Bear School District and Mr. Kimball: they are not clients. They’re students! The clients are the parents and others who pay heavy taxes/levies for their education, and while the school district may say student input doesn’t affect their board-level decisions, the fact that they’re even entertaining this idea is absurd. And what does it say about teachers taking advice from students? May we please get a tax refund? Catherine Schultz Vadnais Heights
Have Gov. Walz and the Democrats gone crazy? Today, after multiple days of reduced daily new cases of COVID-19 in Minnesota, Gov. Walz instituted a complete lockdown on the few remaining freedoms we have and, in particular, the right to work. While I would like to have thought this would be a surprise, it is far from it, considering that the governor
OBITUARY NOTICE
Edwin Joyce Carl Edwin Joyce Carl, age 74 of White Bear Township, died on March 23, 2020. A graduate of Duluth Central High School, Ed received a University of Minnesota degree in electrical engineering, and a master’s in business. He was a proud member of Triangle Fraternity. He was employed for over 40 years at Unisys as a computer designer and manager. Ed is survived by his wife, Darlene; son, Karl (Sara) and their newborn son, Henry (IL); sisters, Linda Joyce (MN) and Arlene (Gene) Smitke (FL); brother in law, Dennis Pfeiffer (MN). Ed was preceded in death by his father, Carl Edwin Johnson (French River, MN), and mother, Violet Joyce (Duluth); and by his sister, Carolyn Pfeiffer. Ed resided in White Bear Township, and was an avid biker, hiker and camper, with a love of nature photography. He was also a dedicated patron of Lakeshore Players Community Theatre, and a founder and leader at Pilgrim House Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Arden Hills. Ed will be sorely missed by many family and close friends. Ed counted his family and many good friends as life’s richest blessing. Ed is remembered by those who love him for his warmth and humor. Memorials preferred to Pilgrim House UUA Fellowship, Arden Hills, or to savetheboundarywaters.org. A memorial service will take place later this summer. In the meantime, cards and letters may be sent to BRADSHAW, 4600 Greenhaven Drive, White Bear, 55127 to be forwarded to Ed’s family.
represents a political party who until a few weeks ago appeared certain to nominate a self-described socialist who had his honeymoon in Moscow as their pick to run for president. As a business owner who has over 100 employees laid off as a result of the virus, I cannot believe the governor does not understand that a blanket approach does not make any sense. Even the governor of hardhit New York acknowledged that different approaches are needed for different people in different places. As an example, an older person in a densely populated area may need to take significantly more precaution than a younger person in a less populated area. This sentiment has been echoed by other governors as well as President Trump. Making matters worse, the governor threatened that 74,000 people in Minnesota would die without the complete lockdown. Keep in mind that in China, a far less advanced country with a population of 1.3 billion, there were 80,000 cases and 3,000 deaths. Scare tactics of this sort are unacceptable. While my laid-off employees understand the need to take appropriate precautions, they would appreciate the ability to pay rent and buy food without a handout (which may not happen if the Democrats do not get their funding for the “arts.”) I would urge everyone to contact your elected officials and demand an end to this unprecedented taking of liberties and destruction of the economy. Greg Urban Vadnais Heights
Grateful for the helpers The White Bear Lake community continues to amaze me. Mr. Rogers encouraged us to always “Look for the helpers. You will always fi nd the helpers.” The coronavirus has called on all of us to be helpers in some form. My 85-year-old dad is a regular
cribbage player at the now-closed White Bear Lake Senior Center. This past Monday, he received a call from Rose Price, just to check up on him and see how he was doing. I am indebted to this act of kindness. My dad was dumbfounded that someone other than family would be concerned about him. Rose exhibited the heart of compassion that makes me proud to be part of this community. Countless other school district employees have been asked to step up to the plate in ways none of us ever could have imagined. The coronavirus will not discriminate. Each of us, no matter what our profession or background, is being called upon to be a helper. Thank you, Rose, for reminding me of the opportunity I have to be a helper. Susan Hambly White Bear Lake
Finds humor in song selection Monday afternoon, March 23, the clock tower (at City Hall) hit 3 p.m. and played a song: “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” from the musical “Oklahoma.” I don’t know who manages the song selection for the tower. For years, I’ve wanted them to play “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” (by the Rolling Stones), but that hasn’t happened yet. What I like about the current selection is the dark humor at a time when no one is having a particularly good day. I also like it because “Oklahoma” apparently is very well prepared for the virus. When infected people were pulled off the Grand Princess cruise ship, some of them were sent to ... Oklahoma. So, when the city plays “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning,” I take it as a sign that things are about to change for the better. Mike Brooks White Bear Lake Editor’s note: The writer suggested people send in requests for the clock tower playlist.
CALENDAR BRIEFS White Bear Rotary’s Strive Scholarship Race has been rescheduled for May 16. Check whitebearrotary.org for updates.

COVID-19 has abruptly and dramatically upended all of our lives. In addition to obvious health concerns, the spread of this virus is also having massive impacts on the economy that could dwarf prior economic shocks. This is an uncertain and scary time for all of us, and many have their eyes turned to Washington, D.C., hoping for a vital lifeline. But I take some relief in knowing that here in Minnesota, state leaders haven’t waited for politicians on Capitol Hill to come to our rescue, they have acted boldly as they have in the past. In the early stages of the Great Depression, Minnesota enacted a progressive income tax and created an unemployment insurance program as ways to provide relief to farmers struggling with property tax bills and workers with no job prospects. Following the Great Recession, Minnesota bucked conventional wisdom and raised taxes on our wealthiest residents to guard against deep cuts to education and health care. Today, we are seeing that same proactive spirit in action. Governor Walz has taken steps to expand unemployment insurance benefits to more workers and speed up claims while also extending emergency loans to small businesses. The Legislature also approved a $200 million funding package that will provide resources to the health care providers on the front lines of this crisis. While politicians in D.C. bicker, Minnesotans got things done. My hope is the Legislature and the governor will continue to act boldly. They should make critical relief available to our food shelves and day care providers and take action to extend unemployment benefits to the self-employed and independent contractors, while also doing what they can to protect future budgets from being slashed. However, it is worth noting that
these actions are only possible in part because of Minnesota’s enviable fi scal position. While some of our leaders want to engage in reckless short-term policy to pursue bumper sticker slogans like “Get Your Billion Back,” now, more than ever, is a time to remember that we are stronger as a state because we’ve always invested in our greatest asset, our fellow Minnesotans.

BLOOD DRIVE: Type O especially needed FROM PAGE 1A
Manager Sue Thesenga said school closures and workplace shutdowns mean fewer opportunities to donate blood. The region is under a “severe shortage” alert as a result. The state Emergency Operations Center reported that more than 240 Red Cross blood drives have been canceled in Minnesota and the Dakotas as of March 23, resulting in about 7,900 fewer blood donations. “It remains critically important to schedule a donation appointment, even weeks out, as we anticipate ongoing challenges during this public health crisis,” Thesenga said. “Every two seconds, someone needs blood.” The Red Cross spokesperson assures that added precautions have been taken to keep people and staff safe. Donors’ temperatures are taken at the door, for example, for signs of fever and
respiratory issues. Beds are spaced to meet the recommended 6 feet of social distancing and donation times have been extended for less interaction in common areas. The phlebotomists also take the donor’s temperature, change gloves between donors and wipe down every station after use. “We have very strict safety protocols in place,” Thesenga said, “to ensure safety of everyone at a blood drive.” People are hearing the call and graciously coming forward to donate. The Red Cross spokesperson believes people want to assist their community in any way they can. “During these uncertain times, people are looking for ways to help,” she noted. “Maybe they can’t donate money, but they can donate time and blood.” Should a donor experience symptoms of COVID-19 after giving blood, they are told to call a Red Cross phone number provided during the appointment. Once alerted, the Red Cross will identify the sample and quarantine it. There is no evidence that

Blood cannot identify if a donor has the virus; COVID-19 tests are performed by swabbing a patient’s nose. A Red Cross press release pointed out that cold and flu season has already impacted the nation’s ability to maintain its blood supply. As the number of coronavirus cases grows in the U.S., the number of people eligible to give blood for patients in need could decrease further. The upcoming Rotary blood drive April 7 had 30 slots, which quickly filled. “The good news is that it filled,” said Rotarian Belisle. “The bad news is so many other drives canceled, and we can’t accommodate more people.” If you’d like to donate Healthy individuals are encouraged to make an appointment to donate by visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-7332767. If a site is full, people are asked to
look further out for available slots. “The shortage isn’t going away anytime soon,” Thesenga said. “The need for blood is constant. Please look for another date.” Blood donations are not affected by the shelter-in-place declaration. Giving blood is considered an essential community service, so healthy individuals can still donate with the American Red Cross. Important to note: Anyone who has had contact with a person who has the virus, or someone suspected to have it, should postpone donating until 28 days since having contact. Individuals who have traveled to China, Hong Kong and Macau, or Iran, Italy or South Korea should also postpone until 28 days following their return to the United States. Blood donors with type O blood and platelet donors are especially needed right now.
FOOD SHELF: ‘We will continue to serve our community’ FROM PAGE 1A
In a normal week, Peterson said the food shelf plans for about 250 people. During the week of March 16, that number shot up to 400. “We are seeing double to triple the amount than we would normally see,” Peterson said. He noted that the staff has also seen an influx of people who recently lost jobs. “We still have food, and we will continue to serve our community,” he said. “Our mission hasn’t really changed, but our programming has changed a little bit. If people are in need, we want them to be able to have access to the food shelf.” Peterson wants people to know that the food shelf is a no-judgment zone. “We want people to be able to have a great, positive experience where they feel support. That is usually the biggest barrier for people to access the food shelf — the perceived shame,” he said. “We will have people sit in our parking lot for 30 minutes before they muster up the willpower to admit that they need help. We saw that before this (pandemic), and we are seeing it now on a more regular basis.” The food shelf is still dropping off food at senior living facilities as often as it can and trying to figure out how to keep the KID Pack program up and running in some fashion. The program provides students in the district (K-12) with meals for the weekends. The best way to help the food shelf during this pandemic is to make a monetary donation, Peterson said.

Food Systems Coordinator Sonja Tosteson, Community Resource Coordinator Trica Trowbridge and Executive Director Perry Peterson organize prepacked bags of food items at a drive up check in station outside the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf.
“For every $1 that is donated to the food shelf, we are able to buy $8 worth of food through the different systems that we have with the food bank,” he explained. Monetary donations can be mailed to 1884 Whitaker Street, White Bear Lake, MN 55110 or made online at whitebearfoodshelf.org.

also shifted to a drive-up format. “That way, we can keep the (number of) volunteers inside the food shelf to a minimum,” said Bridget McPhillips, the food shelf’s executive director. The food shelf still offers the same distribution times, from 4 to 6 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays. On a typical day, the food shelf serves around 25-35 families. Last week, those numbers were closer to 45. As the pandemic escalates, the food shelf is receiving fewer donations from grocery stores. Consequently, its orders to Second Harvest Heartland are increasing in size. “I have increased our order by 50%, so our funds are being depleted a little bit faster,” McPhillips said. So far, the food shelf is still able to provide a minimum of about 32 lbs. of food per person. Currently, the food shelf is most in need of shampoo, soap and personal hygiene products such as deodorant, Kleenex, paper towels and, of course, toilet paper. Monetary donations can be mailed to Centennial Community Food Shelf, P.O. Box 8, Circle Pines, MN 55014, or made online with a credit/debit card at centennialfoodshelf.org/donations.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY – With the days beginning to get warmer & being home bound, we will find ourselves drawn to the many trails, parks, & just the outdoors in general. Take your safety into your own hands. Know that: Pedestrians are given the right away when crossing at an intersection that is or is not marked with a crosswalk. Be sure approaching vehicles can see you; make eye contact with or wave to the driver so you know they see you; wait until approaching vehicles have completely stopped & cross the road safely when appropriate. Walk on the side of the street so that traffic is coming at you & walk as close to the edge of the road as possible. If it is getting dark, make certain you have on bright reflective clothing. Using a flashing light or flashlight will help drivers see you. If you need to cross the street at a location other than a crosswalk or intersection, it is the pedestrian’s responsibility to yield to all traffic & cross only when the street is clear.

THE CLERK’S CORNER – It would be unrealistic of me to talk about anything other than what is going on with COVID 19 & what we are doing as a Township in response. Currently we are following all guidelines set forth by the Minnesota Department of Health as well as Ramsey County Health in order to ensure the health of our residents and employees. That being said, the Administrative Offices at 1281 Hammond are closed to in person service for the time being. If the Public Health situation improves, we will evaluate the situation, & come up with a new strategy as to how to operate. In the meantime, staff is available via email & our main phone line to help our residents with their needs, & Public Works staff will remain on call to maintain infrastructure rounds & ongoing projects. Our Town Board will be conducting business remotely during this time as well in accordance with State statutes. All in all we are still operating on a limited basis, much like the rest of the State, & we ask for your patience through this time. Everyone stay healthy and safe!

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township:
Vadnais Heights • A Maplewood woman reported her credit card missing March 15 while she was shopping at Walmart in the 800 block of County Road E. More than $500 was charged to the card before it could be reported and canceled. • A St. Paul man, 39, was arrested at 6:14 a.m. March 16 for assault, gross misdemeanor DWI, driving on a revoked license and felony fleeing law enforcement after Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies answered a complaint of an idling vehicle blocking a driveway in the 700 block of Pennington Place. Deputies found the subject asleep in his running vehicle and slow to hit the unlock button to open the door. At that time, deputies observed all the classic signs of intoxication and discovered the subject's revoked status. When asked to step out of the Blazer, the subject shifted into reverse and stomped on the gas. Deputies later discovered dark tire marks on the ground; their squad car was pushed back 3 feet. After deputies turned off the ignition, the subject tried to restart the vehicle
and was tazed. During the ensuing search, deputies located marijuana in the center console of the vehicle and 1.96 grams of cocaine in the subject's jacket pocket. The subject has seven prior felony convictions that include fleeing police in a motor vehicle (twice), heroin trafficking, receiving a stolen vehicle, motor vehicle theft and a domestic abuse no-contact order (DANCO) violation. • Two matching license plates were reported found March 16 along the roadway in the 3500 block of Labore Road. • Employees at White Bear Lake Mitsubishi in the 3400 block of Highway 61 reported catalytic converters were stolen from three vehicles in their lot overnight March 17-18.
White Bear Township • A Cambridge woman, 30, was arrested at 11:43 p.m. March 9 in the 1100 block of County Road J for driving after revocation and for gross misdemeanor providing false information to law enforcement following a traffic stop for suspicious driving conduct. Deputies on patrol for thefts from autos in the area observed the driver traveling at varying speeds below the posted 35 mph limit. The brake lights blinked off and on, and
the vehicle slowed as if the driver was about to turn into random locations where no driveways or intersections were present. The driver eventually pulled into a driveway, backed out, then pulled into the White Bear Township Emagine Theater driveway. The driver, who said she didn't have her license with her, falsely identified herself under the name of an existing valid driver. The subject admitted to giving deputies her cousin's name because she was nervous and did not have a valid license. • A Cambridge woman, 34, was arrested at 5:29 p.m. March 10 on Suzanne Circle and Franklin Avenue for third-degree DWI after deputies responded to a report of a female slumped behind her steering wheel on a public street. When deputies asked for identification, she presented a credit card instead, along with the classic symptoms of intoxication. While acting confused and aggressive, the subject could not tell deputies how she got there or whether she was in Woodbury or Oakdale. After failing several tests, the slumper blew a 0.095 on the portable breath test. The subject had a prior DWI conviction in 2018. • Employees at Auto Zone in the 1000 block of Meadowlands Drive on March 18 reported an attempted payment with a forged check. The suspect left the store with the check.
WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:
Birchwood • A resident on Wildwood Avenue on March 8 reported a license plate stolen. Before Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies could begin their in-depth investigation, however, the complainant vowed to check the nearby car wash for the plate first. • A Birchwood resident on March 12 reported an electronic check used fraudulently at the St. Paul Target.
Grant • A resident in the 10000 block of 83rd Street N. on March 9 reported a fraud attempt in which no identity or financial loss occurred.
• A suspicious vehicle was reported at 11:04 p.m. March 9 for driving back and forth in the 8000 block of 105th Street N., which caused consternation to the complainant. Deputies patrolled the area for more than 30 minutes and observed nothing. • Residents in the 9000 block of 75th Street N. on March 11 reported receiving a package in the mail from the postal inspector that contained items for other neighbors and was subsequently distributed to their mailboxes. All of that mail was then stolen from the mailboxes.
Mahtomedi • A resident on Wedgewood Drive on March 9 reported mail theft. • A resident on Ledgestone Drive on March 9 reported fraudulent use of a credit card.
• An unidentified male was escorted without incident off a property on Hanson Road at 8:55 p.m. March 9 for violating an order for protection (OFP) a mere 10 minutes after deputies served him with the order. Deputies said that at the time they served the OFP, they didn't know the protected party was actually inside the residence. • A license plate was reported stolen off a vehicle in the 3000 block of Century Avenue March 11. • A resident on View Road on March 13 reported receiving what she suspected was a scam attempt phone call from the Pittsburgh area. The complainant gave out no money or financial information to the caller. • A shopper on March 13 reported a wallet stolen from her purse while she was inside Aldi on Wildwood Road. The thief made multiple unauthorized
charges at Best Buy, Red Lobster and Game Stop in Maplewood before the complainant could cancel the cards. • A motorist was cited at 10:20 p.m. March 14 on Stillwater Road for failure to display current registration, after being pulled over for a burnt-out headlight and expired registration. While deputies were identifying the driver, they smelled marijuana in the vehicle and later found it after a search. The driver was warned about the pot, burnt-out headlight and no proof of insurance. The marijuana was entered into evidence to be destroyed.
Pine Springs • A resident in the 7000 block of 66th Street N. on March 9 reported theft from his mailbox.

Elementary Schools would start at 11:05 a.m. and Secondary Schools would start at 10:00 a.m. on those dates. Teachers and staff would participate in professional learning.

White Bear Lake City Council extends local emergency
AROUND TOWN
1.
BY BROOKE WOHLRABE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Mayor Jo Emerson asked members of the public who were watching to bear with her and the council as they conducted their first virtual meeting over Webex March 24. City Hall is temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The council is currently focusing on matters that need immediate attention but will resume usual council business as soon as possible,” Emerson said. The first matter on the agenda was a resolution to extend the period of the local emergency declared previously by the mayor. Councilman Kevin Edberg asked under what conditions the emergency resolution would be reversed. After some discussion, it was decided that an emergency is underway until the county or state declares an end to the emergency. Emerson said, “It’s something that enables the city to act quickly.” City Manager Ellen Hiniker said that the League of Minnesota Cities is also advising cities to adopt a local state of emergency that will allow cities to act more quickly if they need to. It also provides some flexibility in administration if certain actions need to be taken. The council voted to approve the resolution. The council also approved a resolution authorizing the use of electronic documents and signatures. “It provides us the ability to act more quickly if we need to, and have documents signed until we’re able to do so,” said Hiniker. Council also agreed to suspend late fees for utility payments. In her council update, Hiniker said that staff is still able to work seven days a week as needed. During the meeting, Hiniker said she was very confident that the city would still be able to conduct business if a shelter-in-place order were enacted. The next day, Gov. Walz announced a stay-at-home order for Minnesota, which went into effect at 11:59 p.m. March 27. It will remain in effect until April 10. City Engineer Paul Kauppi reminded residents not to flush wipes or anything other than toilet paper. He said street crews are out doing street sweeping before spring rain comes, and that crews are continuing to do work around town and in city facilities. For now, the water tower project is continuing to move forward; however, Kauppi said he wasn't sure if the governor's new order would put that on hold. Residents should continue to check the city's website, whitebearlake.org, for daily updates.

4B Health issues that occur more often as we age can also make seniors more likely to fall a few of those are: • Muscle weakness • Heart disease • Parkinson’s disease • Alzheimer’s disease • Low blood pressure • Poor vision Evaluating risk factors and taking preventative measures in a way that considers the unique lifestyle, needs and health of a senior can help. Minimize trip hazards, evaluate footwear, know the effects of medication and side effects. Nutrition and exercise will strengthen the leg and feet muscles. The biggest one is focus on Mental Health.
Caring for those you Love During the COVID -19 Crisis To our Families, Oak Meadows thanks you very much for your patience during the COVID-19 crisis, as the community remains closed til further notice to families and guests.

very year, 3 million seniors are treated in the emergency room for fall injuries. And, falling once doubles someone’s chances of falling again. Preventing accidents in the home, including falls, is one of the most important planning strategies for helping seniors stay independent. Fractures and other injuries can cause long term mobility issues and have lasting physical effects. Once an injury occurs, it can affect someone’s ability to live the way they want and enjoy the same lifestyle and activities.

win City Underwriters is an independent insurance agency that represents the leading Medicare insurance companies. Their experienced and licensed agents are knowledgeable about the different types of Medicare Health plans available to you. Twin City Underwriters’ SurePlan Medicare SystemTM offers you peace of mind when making Medicare decisions.
S
igning up for Medicare healthcare coverage is surprisingly easy. You can even register for Medicare online at SocialSecurity.gov or by visiting your local Social Security office. Signing up for Medicare may be easy, but figuring out the best healthcare coverage for YOU is challenging. The range of healthcare options is daunting — which explains why the most common mistake seniors make when arranging for their Medicare coverage is not taking a serious look at all their options. “Failure to explore the full spectrum of Medicare options happens more often than you would imagine,” explained Choua Vang, Sales Manager at Twin City Underwriters, Inc. “Everybody is different,” emphasized Sara Rosas, a licensed agent and the Marketing Manager at Twin City Underwriters. “You don’t want a one-size-fits-all Medicare healthcare plan. You need a plan that takes into consideration your health, prescriptions, budget, travel plans, lifestyle, and many other factors.” Fortunately, numerous Medicare plans and ‘Medigap’ supplemental plans are available to customize your coverage to fit your specific needs. You will find a plethora of helpful information on the official Medicare website (Medicare.gov). Comparing these plans, however, is a formidable task. How do you determine
which healthcare plans are best for you? ou? Perhaps the most informed and useful seful resource is to consult with an insurance ance broker that specializes in Medicarecarerelated coverage. In Minnesota, Twin n City Underwriters is widely considered a leader eader in this field. In the past 52 years, tens ns of thousands of Minnesotans have put their tered faith in this Roseville-headquartered locally-owned company (which provides this service for free!). Twin City Underwriters differentiates itself with these client-focused features: The Three/Six/Five Partnership that clients have with Twin City Underwriters means a dedicated team is available 365 days a year (not just during open enrollment). Perhaps you have concerns about the insurance coverage for an upcoming medical procedure. Instead of calling the customer service number on your insurance card, you can contact a team member at Twin City Underwriters. “Our clients don’t necessarily have to call customer service at the insurance company,” said Vang. “We have developed contacts at these companies. We are here to help our clients anytime and will promptly look into their concerns. We are the buffer between the client and the company.” Educating Clients/Free Workshops. Twin City Underwriters places a high priority on educating its clients. People make more informed decisions when they have a better understanding of what is - and is not covered. This is why Twin City Underwriters offers free informative Medicare Workshops across Minnesota throughout the year. Seniors are encouraged to bring their questions and concerns. (Upcoming workshops are listed on the twincityunderwriters.com website.) Another option is making an appointment for a free one-on-one/no-obligation meeting with a Minnesota Medicare-coverage agent at Twin City Underwriters. The meeting can be on the phone or in-
person at any of the three company locations: Roseville, Bloomington, Inver Grove Heights. Twin City Underwriters developed its patented “SurePlan™ Medicare System” to ensure that each client will have a Medicare Health Plan unique to them. The three-pronged system features the “Medicare Suitability Tool” (an in depth exploration of the client’s personal lifestyle needs), a Guaranteed Annual Review (because you change and policies change) and the Three/Six/Five Partnership (offering year-round personal support). The “SurePlan™ Medicare System” provides peace of mind and sets a new standard of excellence in the industry, all at no charge. Rock Solid Reputation. Integrity and Honesty -these are essential virtues for insurance brokers entrusted with providing the best Medicarerelated healthcare plans for their clients. Twin City Underwriters boasts more than five decades of experience, plus thousands upon thousands of happy customers. In fact, the brokerage does minimal advertising because the bulk of its new customers hear about them via word-of-mouth. “Most of our clients are referrals,” said Vang. “And that says a lot about the quality of our work. The entire team here is dedicated to making sure the money you have saved over a lifetime provides you with the best possible healthcare coverage for your needs. I would like to believe we are among the best.”
