New assistant city manager named
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Student archers aim for nationals
The city of White Bear Lake has a new assistant manager. He is Rick Juba, a Blue Earth native who most recently was city administrator in Oak Grove. “There was a strong pool of candidates,” said City Manager Ellen Richter, who vacated the position when she was promoted in December. “We were pleasantly surprised with the number of applications.” A field of about 45 was narrowed first to eight and then three candidates in the final interview. The management team at City Hall was part of the process and felt Juba was the clear frontrunner. “Rick is very bright and talented and has a broad range of experiences,” Richter said. “He is someone who comes across with strong character and a personality that will fit well in our community. He’ll be a great fit to the team.” Juba graduated cum laude in 2006 from St. Cloud University with a degree in community development. He started in Oak Grove as an associate planner in 2007 and when the city drastically downsized its staff from 11 to three, he was appointed administrator. Richter used the words “community and values” several times in describing Juba’s attributes, things she feels are important to the job. His father and grandfather ran a grocery store in the small southern Minnesota town of Blue Earth so the family is “very community oriented,” she said. Juba is married to Rachel Juba, who happens to be Hugo’s city planner. The couple has two young children. Obliged by contract to give 30 days notice, Juba won’t start in his new position until May 9.

Garden club helps germinate new library collection BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Library patrons can access a new collection at Ramsey County’s White Bear Lake branch. Only it’s not books. Unique to the metro area, the library is offering a collection of seeds. Branch Manager Therese Sonnek said the White Bear Lake garden club approached her about starting a seed library, one of maybe two in the state. “It’s basically a seed loan program,” Sonnek said. “I have heard of them; there is one in Duluth, and they are popping up around the country. We think it’s a great way for the community to get actively involved in gardening.” No experience is necessary in starting the seeds, which come from
nongenetically modified (GMO) herbs, flowers, vegetables and native plants. The seeds are sorted according to difficulty level, Sonnek pointed out, not to grow, but to collect. The idea is to propagate the seed catalog, which requires returning collected seeds in the fall. “The seed library will not succeed unless people bring seeds back,” she said. A master gardener was on hand at the library’s “rope-cutting (versus ribbon-cutting) ceremony” April 2 to unveil the new seed area and describe how to start the plants, along with basics about seed collection. In the fall, another program is planned on how to collect the seeds and prepare them for the following year. The current inventory has seeds

Cure for pain
mid all of the news coverage about the current epidemic (both locally and nationally) involving prescription pain medicines and heroin, I came across a less publicized historical connection between illegal drug use and pharmaceutical companies that dates back more than 100 years. According to information I found on a number of websites including History Today, Wikipedia and the Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors or FOHBC, I was surprised to discover that heroin was originally created in 1895 by a chemist working for the Bayer pharmaceutics company. Because of high expectations for the drug, the trademark name of Heroin (from the German word for heroic) was choAngle of sen. In 1898, the company began an aggressive marketing campaign and View touted their product for the treatment of a variety of ailments, including Paul Dols bronchitis, tuberculosis and other cough-related illnesses. In 1906, the American Medical Association approved heroin for general use. You could even purchase a nifty, personally engraved, injection kit at your local pharmacy. Within 10 years the acceptance and easy accessibility of the drug resulted in approximately 200,000 addicts in New York City. In what was to become the beginning of arrests for drug abuse in the United States, the Harrison Narcotics Act was passed in 1914 as an attempt to stop the abuse of heroin, cocaine and cannabis. On the other end of the spectrum, the same chemist who helped create heroin for Bayer (Heinrich Dreser) was also involved in the creation of ASA (acetylsalicylic acid) for the company. In 1899 under the brand name of Aspirin, the drug was launched by Bayer as a painkiller without any undesirable side effects. I recall witnessing first-hand some of the negative effects of illicit drug use in the party and music club scene in Minneapolis and eventually came to the conclusion that it was more than just a fashionable pose; instead, many of the people heavily involved in drugs (and alcohol) were honestly struggling with inner demons and coming to terms with difficult pasts. So now, I try not to judge whatever pain and psychological challenges might have pushed someone into substance abuse; however, the situation gets difficult and complicated quickly when an addict’s behavior becomes a threat to themselves and those around them. I suspect that the majority of us occasionally crave and seek out some form of escape or diversion from everyday life. The truth is, no matter how pleasurable, immersive or even numbing the experience, it will come to a conclusion. Like going to the theater to watch a matinee movie during the day, you’re eventually going to have to resume your life, right where you left off, in the bright, inescapable, light of reality. The current wave of addiction appears to be directly linked to the use of prescription drugs and the falling price of heroin — the cheaper, illicit, counterpart to pharmaceutical opioids. Perhaps, because the path to addiction now commonly begins with a legal prescription, a recent STAT-Harvard poll survey revealed that one in three Americans blame doctors for the national opioid epidemic. Addressing the issue in a recent article in the Boston Globe magazine and interview on NPR, Dr. Sushrut Jangi said that the majority of doctors are well-intentioned prescribers caught in a web of entangling interests spun over the past two decades. When the powerful narcotic OxyContin was introduced in the mid 1990s, the message of educational campaigns at the time (many driven by pharmaceutical marketing) was that doctors were under treating pain. Getting to the root cause of the voracious appetite for drugs and alcohol in the U.S. is a daunting and complicated task. One aspect of a potential solution, according to Dr. Jangi, could be the realization and acceptance that pain is an essential part of the healing process.

The unfortunate costs of pumping up White Bear Lake
A
s water levels in White Bear Lake have fallen dramatically in the last decade, the costs to local residents, businesses and recreational users are inescapable. After years of lawsuits, settlements and studies, members of the Minnesota Legislature are once again proposing a controversial plan to use taxpayer funds to directly Movers & augment the lake with water from the Mississippi Shakers River. Trevor Russell While we understand the desire for an immediate solution to White Bear Lake water levels, the proposed augmentation approach is unworkable and plagued by excessive costs, doubts about the system’s effectiveness, and the dangerous precedent it would set for our state. In January, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources released its estimate on the potential range of construction and operating costs associated with augmenting the lake with water taken from either Sucker or East Vadnais lakes (each of which is backfi lled by the Mississippi River). Construction costs ranged
from $55 million to $107 million, with annual operating costs of $570,000 to $4.1 million depending on the final design and pollution mitigation requirements. This staggering price tag is reason enough to look to other solutions. Moreover, diverting scarce state resources away from sustainable regional water supply planning in favor of a single lake is a short-term water management approach our region can no longer afford. Additionally, the outcomes of a direct augmentation approach are uncertain. A 2014 Metropolitan Council report found that augmentation would not guarantee the restoration of lake levels for White Bear or other local lakes and aquifers. Even if the solution were fi nancially feasible, it would still be a risky investment for state taxpayers. Finally, White Bear Lake isn’t the fi rst and won’t be the last lake or stream to shrink at least in part because of the over pumping of groundwater. State-funded augmentation sets a dangerous precedent; taxpayers simply can’t be asked to build pipes to the nearest water source every time another lake or stream succumbs. In a region where more than 70 percent of our water supply comes from over-used aquifers, our environmental and economic security calls for a more sustainable approach. One such alterna-
tive is to switch northeast metro community water supply systems to the abundant Mississippi River for their primary public water supplies, while retaining existing wells as backup systems should river levels fall in the driest years. Surface water could come from either the St. Paul regional water system, which can treat up to 40 percent more water with existing facilities, and/or a new treatment facility built for the northeast metro. Doing so will reduce the stress on our dwindling regional aquifers and help relieve pressure on White Bear Lake water levels, while also providing a more sustainable, reliable supply of water for local communities, residents and businesses. While this approach would come with certain costs, they are more than outweighed by the benefits of transitioning the region toward a more naturally resilient water supply system that will allow our communities to grow and thrive for generations to come. Trevor Russell is Water Program Director for Friends of the Mississippi River, a group that engages citizens to protect, restore and enhance the Mississippi River and its watershed in the Twin Cities region.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Pit bull bias in the media In the March 23 paper there was a letter titled “Pit bulls should be banned”. I would like to see the factual verification that was submitted with the letter. The website that was cited in the letter is run by a woman who has no expertise other than website design, who is seeking revenge against a specific breed for an incident that happened to her. Blaming a specific breed is an uneducated and fearful response, and yes, you can find all kinds of “statistics” and stories on the Internet. Check where those “facts” and “statistics” are coming from before you target a specific breed. Most of these “statistics” come from the media, not from any accredited organization. Attacks or bites by a certain breed are more newsworthy, causing misinformation, which some people believe to be factual. It does more damage than good to present uneducated views based on Internet sites that are clearly discriminating against certain breeds. Every mainstream national organization that is involved in canine/human interactions is opposed to laws targeting specific breeds of dogs. In the interest of public safety, dog ordinance should focus on behavior of actual dogs, and not one specific breed or type. Corey Popp White Bear Township
Supports safe routes to school I want to send out my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Rep. Peter Fischer for his introduction of legislation to support the Minnesota Safe Routes to School Program. This national program, which is very popular throughout Minnesota, provides funding to communities for building sidewalks, making street crossings safer and for developing bicycle routes to and from school. These safety improvements make it easier for kids to walk and bike to school, making them healthier, fitter and better prepared for a day of learning. The program is so successful and popular that every year requests for funding far exceed available dollars. We all owe a thanks to Rep. Fischer for not only recognizing the importance of the program, but also its many benefits to Minnesota’s students. Rob Jackson Maplewood Editor’s note: the writer is past president of the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota.
Good time to fix our roads Now that the Legislature is in session we have a real opportunity for action to fix our aging roads and bridges. The good news is that both political parties have agreed that increasing investments in transportation is something that needs to be done now. The bad news is they can’t seem to agree on how to pay for that investment. It’s nice to think that we can get something for nothing, but the reality is we need to pay for our roads and bridges just like our parents and grandparents did with their tax dollars. In Minnesota, the fuel tax and license tab fees are constitutionally dedicated and must be spent on transportation. Therefore, if we are asked to pay more at the pump or for our license tabs, we know with certainty those resources will be used for their intended purpose. Our local legislators need to tell us exactly how they plan to meet the agreed-upon needs. The fact is, onetime Band-Aid funding won’t address the transportation challenges that extend across the entire state. Rather than simply criticizing the idea of increasing the dedicated fees we have relied on for decades, I would like our local legislators to commit to ongoing and reliable
transportation funding that will provide real results. Remember, our transportation problems won’t go away with inaction by the Legislature, they will just get more expensive. Chris Hiniker White Bear Township
Need property tax relief Minnesota businesses have among the highest property tax burdens in the country. One of the main reasons is there is an extra property tax paid just by businesses (and cabins) that goes to the state general fund — not our local governments. This extra tax accounts for almost a third of our businesses property tax bill. Whether it’s a Main Street retailer, or a tenant in a larger building, businesses face this tax burden whether they are profitable or not. And it goes up automatically every year. This tax is on autopilot; it increases every year without any vote of our Legislature. We need to say no. Please help me in urging our legislators to provide some tax relief for our local businesses by eliminating the automatic inflator and reducing the statewide property tax this year. Bill Foussard Owner, White Bear Country Inn/Rudy’s Redeye Grill
Keep restaurant in White Bear Lake Did you know there is a restaurant in White Bear Lake called Bamboo House, located in the Birch Lake Square mall (Hwy. 96)? My family has been eating there since it opened and we have never been disappointed. We’ve noticed they are never busy and when we’ve told others in the area about this place, no one seems to know about it. They make all their food fresh to order, the prices are very reasonable and they even have takeout. During the 30 years we’ve lived in White Bear Lake, we’ve seen plenty of places come and go — but we would love to see them busy so they stay. Please check it out. Cindy Hering White Bear Lake
Privacy is a myth Publisher Carter Johnson’s column “Who is Watching You?” (March 30, 2016) has a very simple answer: Everyone. Drones with cameras are only one example of the many ways our every action is viewed, tracked, recorded and catalogued via cameras, cell phones, computers, advertisers, etc., etc. Whether it’s Hulk Hogan trying to cash in on his intimate encounter, a politician denying a quote from the previous day, Apple’s encryption, or (you name it), privacy is a myth today. Whatever we say or do can appear on the Internet or in the Cloud and race around the world in seconds. Moral to the story: If you don’t want what you’re doing or saying to become public, don’t do it. Could the risk of instant exposure become the newest substitute for having a conscience? Harvey Bartz White Bear Lake
Change in airport safety zone a mistake I believe that the decision to modify the safety zones at Benson Airport is a mistake. While I understand that there was a desire to avoid legal costs of defending against a property owner lawsuit, I am concerned that the modification of this ordinance potentially creates an unsafe situation for a number of people. Pilots are trained, in the event of an engine-out during takeoff, to immediately drop the nose, go straight ahead,
and hopefully land in an open space. Deviating more than about 30 degrees to either side will risk stalling the plane and going in. If there are houses, the danger is dramatically increased, but at least there is a chance to put it into the space between. However, a condominium complex is basically a brick wall across the path — there are no options. A couple of years ago, one of the pilots had an engine-out going in the other direction and skillfully landed on the far side of the Ramsey County Open Space. He steered his plane between two pine trees and snapped off the wings, breaking the momentum. If this had happened in the other direction at Benson with a condominium in his path, this would have been much worse. If a lawsuit were to follow such an incident, it would not be a frivolous lawsuit: it would be real, it would be expensive. Dan Fanselow White Bear Lake
Thanks for the memories Your article on Arthur Fillebrown (“Meet Arthur: the male half of the Fillebrown siblings,” March 30, 2016) brings back wonderful childhood memories of the ’60s. After church, we or the McClanahans would drop Helen, our church organist, home. Arthur would “teach” us kids how to hand pump water and chop wood and to heat water on the wood stove. We loved the activity after just sitting in pews that morning. Thanks for keeping our area history alive. Also, thank you for my Silver Beaver article. The wonderful Scouters in our Many Waters District have allowed me to mentor youth all these years, given me an award and now I get to show the White Bear Press article, with picture, to my mother. A few years ago when she and I were in the Post Office, I tried to tell her I was worth $10,000 Dead or Alive. Instead, the postmaster told us “nowadays you are worthless, because we stopped Wanted Posters in the last century.” She’s 92 and finally thinks I’ve accomplished something. Thanks again. Mitchell Johnson White Bear Lake
Productive town hall meeting Kudos to State Senator Bev Scalze (of District 42) and State Representatives Jason Isaacson (42B) and Barb Yarusso (42A) for a very productive recent town hall meeting. We are fortunate to have this team of hard-working individuals representing our area in the legislature. They are very responsive to the expressed needs of our district, as is evidenced by the many transportation projects that are being completed in our area. Bev, Jason, and Barb work diligently in concert with local governments and state agencies on issues like train safety and train noise mitigation, training workers to fill job vacancies, enhancing educational opportunities at all levels, and closing the achievement gap and socioeconomic disparities that continue to be problematic within our state. As Sen. Scalze will be retiring after this session, Rep. Isaacson will be seeking her state senate seat. Let’s support Jason’s continuing work for our region. He has forged many productive relationships within the legislature, and with city councils, businesses, educational institutions, and state agencies, and he is well-positioned to continue to advocate for our district by representing us in the Minnesota Senate.

White Bear Lake man pleads guilty to fatal stabbing ST. PAUL — Joseph James Derks of White Bear Lake pleaded guilty March 28 to a fatal stabbing last summer. Derks, 22, will face sentencing in Ramsey County District Court on May 10. A jury trial scheduled April 10 was canceled. Derks pleaded guilty to fatally stabbing Robert Darren Olson, 47, a family friend, inside a house on Crown Hill Court Aug. 6. Olson was reportedly
choking Derks’ brother, and Derks stabbed him multiple times in the back because he wouldn't let go, according to the criminal complaint. Derks also accidentally stabbed his brother in the process. D k Derks The complaint reports that Derks told police he had stabbed Olson in the back of the head and
thought he had killed him. Officers found Olson in a pool of blood in a house basement. He was found with a weak pulse but died before paramedics arrived. He had a large wound across the back of his head and neck, as well as smaller cuts across his neck and back. Court records show Derks has prior misdemeanor convictions for theft, marijuana possession, underage
consumption and obstructing the legal process. Olson also had a criminal history, including convictions for burglary, vehicle theft and drug sale and possession. He also was convicted of aiding and abetting murder, but the conviction was later overturned. Sara Marie Moore
RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A youth was caught red-handed March 25 at a discount store in the 800 block of County Road E with a BB handgun he had not paid for. The 14-year-old was heading out the door with the pistol, valued at just under $50, when he was nabbed by store security. The case was referred to the county attorney’s office for petitioning into juvenile court. • It was quite the shoplifting list — items from mousetraps to pineapples — for the pair of thieves at a discount store in the 800 block of County Road E March 26, but things did not go as planned. The women, a 38-year-old from St. Paul on a motorized scooter and a 44-year-old from Minneapolis, were seen on video switching tags on merchandise that included slippers and more groceries hidden in purses and on the scooter. An X Box controller put them just over the $220 mark in stolen property. The suspects were cited and released.
• Homeowners on Oakwood Terrace returned from vacation March 26 to learn that a thief had gone crazy with credit cards found missing from their vehicle. The charges exceeded $2,000. “We thought the car was locked,” they told a deputy. It wasn’t. • While a victim worked out at the fitness center in the 900 block of County Road E the afternoon of March 26, a thief relieved him of two credit cards that were in his unlocked locker. More than $2,000 in charges was racked up before the cards were deactivated. • A White Bear Lake woman left the discount store in the 800 block of County Road E March 26, even though she had skipped the part where she was to pay for the $39 worth of cosmetics in her purse, and tried to run away from loss prevention officers. That didn’t work. Also found in her purse were a syringe, a glass pipe and a spoon. A fi nal addition to the 31-year-old’s troubles was a misdemeanor traffic warrant for her arrest, sealing her temporary fate at the Ramsey County Jail on charges of theft, possession of drug paraphernalia and on the warrant.
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A 21-year-old man without a ride rifled father’s pants pocket March 18 while the 52-year-old man was sleeping, taking his car keys. When the man returned with the car, his father was waiting for him. Words were exchanged and the younger man hit his father. Authorities were called and the suspect was arrested on charges of domestic assault, fi fth-degree assault and disorderly conduct, and booked into jail. • An assault was reported on Parkway Ponds Lane the morning of March 24. An investigation continues. • Ramsey County Water Patrol officers were called the morning of March 28 to investigate a metal chair floating in the middle of a pond in the 5700 block of Meadowview Drive. Verifying that no one was in the chair, the officers ended the investigation. • Deputies investigated a report of shots fi red in the area of Bald Eagle Lake and Lakeview Drive on March 29.

The photographer is a dog (really) BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
As if such a thing were possible, a Birchwood teen has found a new and ingenious way to use a GoPro camera. She put it on her dog. The result is a humorous collection of candid canines doing what dogs do at a dog park. They sniff, they goad, they cavort. Susie Kixmoeller, 17, came up with the idea of attaching the camera to Tula, a 4-year-old Lab mix the family rescued, to get just the right angle. “I’ve always liked photography and I thought Tula’s interactions with other dogs were really interesting,” Kixmoeller said. “It’s hard to get good pictures, because as soon as you get close they stop and you can’t capture their natural interactions. So I came up with the idea of putting a camera on her and getting pictures from Tula’s point of view.” Kixmoeller found a harness online to attach the GoPro Hero 4 Session, the smallest and lightest model, and Tula took it from there. “She doesn’t even notice it,” said her owner. Most of Tula’s many photos are taken at Otter Lake Dog Park in White Bear Township. It was Kixmoeller’s idea to post them on Instagram, which quickly generated 3,000 views and caught the attention of newspapers in the United Kingdom. As Kixmoeller explained, Caters News Agency, the UK’s version of the Associated Press, contacted Second Chance Animal Rescue, the organization that sheltered Tula after she was found abandoned in a birdcage alongside the road. They contacted the family, which
told the news agency their story behind the photos. It was picked up in newspapers like The Telegraph and Daily Mail. The Blake High School junior hopes to use Tula’s pictures to Susie Kixmoeller and Tula raise money for canine sanctuaries and rescue shelters. Kixmoeller said she plans a project with a sanctuary called Home for Life that takes in disabled dogs that no one will adopt. She’s already put GoPros on some of the dogs at the Wisconsin facility and plans to post their photos on social media to raise money, awareness and sponsors. “A lot of people have been asking on Instagram how to do this,” Kixmoeller said. “It’s spreading through the dog community, so there is interest in my idea.” Tula’s social duties are expanding, as well. The family pooch accompanies Susie’s dad to Children’s Hospital as a therapy dog and will soon be used in summer reading programs at the library. “She is very friendly,” said Tula’s owner, “and she loves all the other dogs. The dog park community in general is very friendly. They can look aggressive, but that’s how they play.” Little do they know their four-legged playmate is secretly saying “Cheese!”

When it comes to archery, there’s an ‘i’ in team BY BRUCE STRAND CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Karl Stein was in second grade when his mother enrolled him in an archery camp to see if he liked it. She hit the bulls-eye with that suggestion. Karl responded enthusiastically to the individuality and discipline of the sport. “In archery, it’s up to you,” said Stein, now a sophomore and varsity co-captain among 100-plus members of the very successful White Bear Lake High School Archery Team. “You have team scores, but you don’t rely on the team, and they don’t rely on you.” Led by state individual champion Calvin Denker, they placed eighth among 24 teams last weekend in Bemidji, qualifying for nationals for the 11th straight year. They’ll compete at Louisville, Ky., on May 12-14, seeking their eight straight trip to the world meet, June 22-28 in South Carolina. Denker, a senior, has won 11 of 13 meets this season and placed second in the other two. He enjoys the “focus and consistency” required to be good at archery. “We’ve got nationals coming up and I’ve been thinking about that all the time for about a month,” said Denker, whose only sport is archery. He plans to join the University of Minnesota club team next year. The most important physical trait, he said, is strength around the shoulders. The club does weight-lifting exercises geared to core, shoulder and specific back muscles. “But mostly it’s mind over matter,” Denker said. “Just doing it the same way every time.” There are nearly as many girls as boys in archery and the scores by the two genders are relatively close. “Archery is a fairly gender neutral sport,” said Maddie Chaplin, senior co-captain whose career best is 294 (out of 300). “Archery is a skill of consistency. A good archer is mentally aware of what they are doing while shooting; whether it be proper hand placement on the bow or a strong release, a good archer relies on muscle memory and self awareness to maintain consistent shots.” Their coach is Becky Lassila, a substitute teacher and

coach of various sports in the district who got involved because her daughter was interested. She’s done some bow hunting (“mostly rifle, though”) prior to taking up coaching the archers. Her assistant is David Gray, whose son is on the team. “The WBL school district has been very supportive,” Lassila said. “Along with recognizing us as a school team, the team members are able to letter in archery.” In the previous five state tournaments, White Bear Lake placed second three times and fourth twice. At nationals last year, they placed 40th of 192 teams, and about half the team placed in the top 25 percent among 12,000plus shooters). Their best world meet was 14th place in 2014. The archery program, which started in 2006, is K-12 with a non-competition team (just learning, having fun) and a competition team. The program about half boys and half girls at the younger levels, and about 40 percent girls at the high school level, Lassila said, with between 100 and 120 youth per year. They

practice Monday through Thursday evenings in the cafeteria, starting in December, with weekend tournaments starting in January. National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) meets have grade 9-12, 6-8 and 3-5 levels, with 12 to 24

shooters per team (minimum four of each gender). Each competes individually in boys and girls divisions while having their scores counted in the team score. Denker has scored between 290 and 296 in each meet, of a possible 300. He’s hit 296 four times and had 293 at the state meet. Previous years, he placed second, fi fth and third at state. At nationals last year, he ranked in the top one percent with scores of 288, 290 and 291. “Calvin has been shooting for about six years with the program,” Lassila said. “He has a drive to be one of the best and has been working on his form and consistency. What makes him good is his ability to mentally move on to his next arrow and let the last one go.” Chaplin and Stein were chosen captains because, Lassila said, they “exemplify teamwork” in encouraging and mentoring others, working hard on their form, and their commitment to showcasing the club in the community. Stein, an avid sportsman
also active in trap-shooting, ultimate frisbee, and deer hunting (with rifle, not bow), said improving your scores depends mainly on “better eye-hand coordination” and surmises that’s why girls compete so well with boys in this sport. In the summer, the club offers camps through Community Services and has booths at MarketFest and White Bear Township Days to give archery lessons and promote the sport. Equipment runs about $350 for each archer, along with another $350 club fee for those competing. The archers use the Mathew’s Genesis bow and Easton 1820 aluminum arrows, standard throughout the NASP program. As with most any worthwhile sport, archery is a social event. “I chose to do archery because it is a fun skill to learn,” Chaplin reflected. “The main aspect of archery I enjoy, however, are my fellow teammates and the fun we have at practices.”

SEED LIBRARY: Gardeners encouraged to spread the love FROM PAGE 1A
donated by companies that the garden club requested, seeds the garden club purchased through a library grant, and seeds provided by community members. “Anyone can donate seeds, we just ask that they not come from hybrid or GMO plants,” Sonnek said. “For instance, we had someone who collected a ton of milkweed last fall.” The garden club did its research before proposing the collection, added the library manager. “They looked at how the process is done in other libraries, the rules and the setup. They are taking over the maintenance. We will keep track of the checkout book, so there are no privacy issues.” As far as Sonnek knows, it’s the only
seed library in the metro area. Duluth had the first one in the state, which turned out to be a good thing. “Duluth did all the hard work for us,” Sonnek said. “When they did, [that] library they found what they were doing was illegal. There is a state law against exchanging seeds that are not properly labeled and tested for germination. When Duluth heard this, they worked with their local legislators and had a bill passed, which the governor signed into law, that allows small quantities of seeds to be exchanged for free without proper testing. So seed libraries are now exempt from that law. They realize it’s not practical to test them in such small batches.” The seed library is free and open during regular hours; a library card is not required.

The seeds are coded and filed according to the difficulty of producing and collecting seeds.
Susan Middlecamp and Stephen and Joanna Li were among the library patrons choosing seeds from the collection on Saturday.
Congresswoman speaks at chamber meeting BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER
DELLWOOD — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar recently appeared at a White Bear Lake Chamber of Commerce meeting. The meeting took place at Dellwood Country Club on Tuesday, March 29. Students from Mahtomedi and White Bear Lake High Schools were present along with their teachers. Local figures such as Ramsey County Commissioners Victoria Reinhardt and Blake Huffman and White Bear Lake Mayor Jo Emerson were also in attendance to hear the senator speak. Klobuchar spoke about the successes in Congress in the past year, including improvements in employment rates, the passage of a sex-trafficking bill and the passage of a five-year transportation bill, which Klobuchar called one of her personal high points. The bill, called the FAST Act, will secure $305 billion in federal funding for transportation projects across the nation. Klobuchar also addressed growing concerns in the state, such as the need for broadband Internet in rural communities. “There are parts of the state where farmers go to McDonald's, not just to eat breakfast but to get broadband service,” she said. She has already begun legislation in partnership with the FCC Universal Service Fund to provide that resource to more rural communities. She also discussed a recent

asking any questions about the 2016 presidential race. “Good behavior!” she laughed. She did mention the attitudes of political division that have been opened as a result of the election, and suggested that an attitude of
openness is required to enhance public discourse in the coming months. “People try to look for divides rather than common ground,” she said. “You can stand your ground and look for common ground at the
same time.” Klobuchar has spoken at the White Bear Lake Chamber of Commerce events twice in the past. She thanked the chamber for a third invitation. “Not every chamber invites me several times,” she said.

Residents asked to take water survey A study is underway to evaluate indoor water usage in the White Bear Lake area: specifically toilet water, the biggest indoor water guzzler. The study is a collaboration of an environmental studies class at South Campus, Race 2 Reduce, Aquarius Home Services and the city of White Bear Lake, through funding from the White Bear Lake Conservation District. Residents are asked to take a brief online survey to help the groups analyze the current situation and determine the impact of upgrading
homes in the community to current standards. Those upgrades are being aided with a $50,000 Metropolitan Council grant that provides rebates to homeowners who upgrade toilets, washing machines and irrigation sprinklers. The city is administering the program. To access the survey, go to: http://www. race2reduce.org/water-use-survey/ Submitted

I-694 construction begins A two-year project to add a third lane in each direction of I-694 in the northeast metro began April 4. Construction of the Enhance 694 project will take place between Rice Street in Little Canada and Lexington Avenue in Arden Hills. In addition to rebuilding the Interstate and adding a new lane in each direction, the project includes: rebuilding interstate ramps at Lexington Avenue, Victoria Street and Rice Street and opening the right lane of the bridge from northbound I-35E to westbound I-694. The right lane of the bridge will become an exit-only lane to Rice
Street. The project will also improve stormwater drainage throughout the corridor. As work begins on the westbound lanes, motorists will encounter nighttime lane closures in each direction of the Interstate as crews widen the roadway and prepare to shift traffic in June. At the same time, the ramp from Rice Street to westbound I-694 will close for the construction season. During construction, MnDOT will keep two lanes of traffic open in each direction. Temporary lanes around the construction zone will separate
traffic from construction work. The two lanes of westbound traffic will be separated by a concrete median barrier, which will require motorists to choose a lane at the beginning of the work zone. Drivers in the left lane will be unable to exit the Interstate between Rice Street and Lexington Avenue. Traffic in the right lane will be able to exit the freeway as usual. Eastbound traffic lanes will not be separated by a barrier. Work in 2017 will rebuild the eastbound lanes with the same traffic restrictions. When complete in November 2017, the project will improve
driver safety and accessibility, increase capacity to reduce congestion and provide smoother road surfaces. In addition, the new roadway will enhance the movement of freight and support economic development. For more information about the Enhance 694 project visit www. enhance694.com. Those interested in staying informed about the project during construction also can sign up for email alerts on the website. For other transportation information, please visit www.mndot.gov.

SCHOOL BRIEFS Students examine Watershed
Students at Level Up Academy took class outdoors March 31. Tracy Leavenworth of the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District led students on a walk to examine area storm drains and ponds. Leavenworth instructed the students to watch for pollutants from yards, which can affect the ecological health of ponds. “We really want to take care of our lakes, and the way we do that is by taking care of our land,” said Leavenworth. When grass clippings and leaf litter get into storm drains, the phosphorous it produces causes an unhealthy amount of algae to grow in lakes. The excess algae blocks the sunlight needed by native water plants, which are a source of food for ducks and other animals. While on the walk, students observed pollutants running into a storm drain and observed algae build-up in a pond near their school.
Writing Center holds celebration
SARA MARIE MOORE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Kay. Teachers and students will work together to expand an already existing edible and perennial school garden that will impact many students. • Willow Lane Elementary – Community Garden - Chris Streiff, Tammy Reed, Greg Swenson. The Willow Lane community garden is currently being developed with the Ramsey County Watershed District and the Ramsey County Conservation District. • Lincoln Elementary – Explorations Program - Jamie Kovacs, Julie Stonehouse. The Explorations Program will
use the Wargo Nature Center in Lino Lakes to expand outdoor classroom opportunities. • Birch Lake Elementary – Pollinator Plants - Karla Keller, Kathleen Elletson. Using native plants, this project will create for pollinators and butterflies a habitat in which they can receive nutrients to sustain populations. • Oneka Elementary – Garden - Amy Corner, Abbi Case. Students will be involved in outdoor learning and growing vegetables. The hope is that the school can impact the community by bringing extra harvests to the Hugo Good Neighbors Food Shelf. • Matoska/Oneka Elementary - Investigation on the Mississippi River - John Leininger, Teresa Dahlem. This is a collaborative project between White Bear Lake Schools and Wilderness Inquiry. During the summer of 2016, students will participate in a five-day project learning about the Mississippi River ecosystem. • Area Learning Center – Science Camp - Laura Watters, Mike Hamernick. Teachers will take 25 ALC students to the Audubon Center of the North Woods in Sandstone, Minnesota for a weeklong science camp this summer.

Estate Planning Tip:
1601 East Cnty Rd E • White Bear Lake
Estate Planning practice evolves. Changing laws, burdens of proof, tax implications and health all play a roll in updating your Will, Power of Attorneys and even Health Care Declaration. Even if your disposition plans have not changed, a review may be advisable. Do your current documents provide for choice of jurisdiction or the new medical privacy laws? Does your Power of Attorney use the most recent approved form? Evolving tax laws also require modification of what used to be considered good practices. And in the last few years it has become obvious that adverse tax implications are not understood by many attorneys advocating Trusts to avoid probate. While no attorney has a reliable crystal ball when it comes to a client’s longevity, no excuse exists to ® not understanding the interplay of estate taxation, gift taxation, capital gains taxes and gifting implications prior to death. Banking practices, insurance tools and a variety of other considerations are always part of the estate planning mix. And as with prenuptial agreements, estate planning too late or too early can be useless.

Moy cited as Bear girls’ hockey MVP Always referred to by their head coach Jerry Kwapick as “a close knit group,” the White Bear Lake girls’ hockey team was impressive both on the ice, and off this past season. The team tended to a number of charitable efforts in the community, and also joined forces for an 18-7-2 overall record. Sarah Moy was cited as the team’s MVP at their postseason awards banquet. The senior forward was also academic all-state. Joining Moyer on the all-conference squad was senior defenseman Peyton King, sophomore forward Ashley Healy, and freshman goaltender Calla Frank.

Freshman standouts Abby DeLaRosa (defense) and Sydney Shearen (forward) earned honorable mention all-conference honors, as did senior forward Corinne Watson and senior goalie Samantha Klemann. King, Klemann, Watson, and Lexi Cooper joined Moy on the all-state academic squad. King shared the Most Determined Player Award with soph forward Claudia Verkerke. Spohomore forward Kailee Snyder was announced as most improved, and freshman forward Jordan Gash won the Rookie of the Year Award. Morgan Newpower, Dani Menk,
and Verkerke will serve as captains for the 2016-17 team. “We had one of our better seasons this past year,” said Kwapick. “We lose a great group of seniors who had provided us with fabulous leadership on and off the ice. While their presence will be greatly missed in a number of ways, we are returning a very talented group of underclass players who will have the ability to step right in and to hopefully start the season off at the same level that we finished last season.” Mark Aguirre
Q: What do you think will be your team’s greatest strengths this season? Feel free to mention overall strengths and/ or talented individuals. A: This spring we lost our number one singles player junior Austin Anderson as he moved to Georgia to play tennis. Not only was Austin almost a guaranteed win at one singles he allowed others to play at a spot they were more comfortable. Losing a top player is always difficult. That being said, I believe our team has really good depth. We have more guys playing tennis more often than past years. The amount of new cross trained athletes at our meeting this year was extremely exciting. We are growing our program and it is so much fun! Our JV coach, Jackson Farley does a fantastic job in the off season working with beginner and advanced players. Q: Who are your captains? A: Our captains this spring are seniors Ben Keller and Aaron Schmidt. Both of the captains were spotted this winter at multiple other sporting events supporting our school and community. They are good tennis players and even better students. Ben has a natural leader command presence while Aaron leads with quiet confidence and by example. It is a fantastic combination. They are well respected by our whole coaching staff and their peers. Q: What competition are you most looking forward to, and why? A: We always look forward to our tournaments as they are a chance for the athletes to bond. Building lasting friendships and supporting each other in a team sport with individual results is very similar to the work force and we look forward to these opportunities for our athletes to grow. This spring we will play in the Stillwater, Harding and Lakeville South tournaments. Q: Any special events or fundraisers readers should know about? A: We consider all of our matches special events and invite everyone from the community to come support our athletes. Historically attendance at tennis matches is low and one of our goals is to increase overall attendance at our Varsity, JV and B squad events. Our schedule can be found at www.suburbaneast.org. Tennis is a lifelong sport and we want to grow the sport through our players and community.

Birds of a weather migrate together BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER
MARINE ON ST. CROIX — We may not be able to see the levels of CO2 in our atmosphere, but we can see the birds in our backyard. A presentation at the Marine Community Library on March 17 took a close look at the ways that bird behavior indicates changes in the climate, changes that aren't always obvious in our day-to-day lives. Don Arnosti is the conservation policy director for the Izaak Walton League, which promotes conservation of the natural world. His presentation began with a demystification of climate change and the results of the U.N. Climate Change Conference that took place in Paris in 2015, and moved on to the ways that birds have been indicating the changes in global climate in your own backyard. “They're everywhere, and they are sensitive indicators to what is going on the earth,” Arnosti said. For birds, survival is all in the timing. Arnosti said that the gradual changes won't be too tough on short-distance migrants, such as chickadees, cardinals, waterfowl and other birds. The most alarming change is to the lifestyle of the long-distance
birds, which spend their winters in tropical climates and rely on the length of the day to tell them when to return north. Unlike the shortrange migrants, these birds have no idea that spring has come early, and they may return to find that some of their major food sources are no longer available. For example, neotropical warblers depend on a large caterpillar population to feed themselves and their young. “One pair of evening grosbeaks can eat up to 50,000 caterpillars during breeding season,” Arnosti said. But since the weather has warmed up sooner than these birds were expecting, those caterpillars have already retreated into cocoons, which is not a food source for the birds. “They're going to come up here and their food sources won't be where they expect them to be,” Arnosti said. “Those are the kinds of birds that have trouble adjusting to climate change. They just assume it's going to be the same as it always has.” Arnosti also made mention of the popular DNR Eagle Cam, which provides livestream video from inside a Minnesota eagle nest. Right now, the eagles are successfully tending three chicks, but many watchers were

chicks earlier. Spring is coming early for eagles, and this behavior is one example of the way that birds have been subtly reacting to the changes in their environment. Arnosti explained that Minnesota is “a land of ecotones,” or transition areas between different types of habitats. Within state borders lies the most northeastern boundary of the great prairie, the southernmost boundary of Canadian boreal forest and the western boundary of hardwood forest. “Small changes in climate mean that something that's just barely hanging in there is going to retreat,” Arnosti said. “You won't see these changes as quickly else-
extremely concerned about how early the eagle at this nest laid her eggs. When the eggs appeared in late January, the DNR provided a notice on its Eagle Cam Update page that this pair of eagles has laid eggs unusually early in the past, and that viewers shouldn't worry. Although the eagles lost one brood to harsh weather a few years ago, every brood they have raised since then has been successful. “This year they laid eggs in January and did just fine,” Arnosti said. “They're making adjustments. They figured it out.” The birds are laying eggs earlier because the warm winters make it possible for them to raise

where, because we are at the edges of these areas.” While the heartland of these territories might remain unchanged for years, the edges found in Minnesota will begin to change shape as colder weather shifts farther north, along with the bird populations that inhabit those places. “If you're attuned to plants you can begin to see some of those changes, and they're happening within a lifetime,” Arnosti said. Climate change won't be bad for all birds, Arnosti said. The more adaptable, short-distance migrants like cardinals may find it easier to forage in warmer yearround conditions. Approximately two thirds
of birds are expected to have trouble adjusting, while one third will thrive. To Arnosti, these signs are obvious indicators that change is taking place, whether people accept it or not. “The birds are changing; they're not debating the causes,” Arnosti said. “That pair of eagles is pulling off broods. We have a lot of people in denial. They don't want to listen to the birds. They don't want to look out their window.” The next presentation in the series will focus on solar power. The event is set to take place on April 7 at 7 p.m. To learn more about Marine Community Library events, visit www.marinecommunitylibrary.org.

Crossword
— Terrific, nostalgic songs highlight this insightful, factually based, unevenly focused, star-dotted (Bradley Whitford, Cherry Jones, and David Krumholtz), 123-minute, 2015 film based on Colin Escott’s biographical novel “Hank Williams: The Biography” that chronicles the short legendary career and tumultuous life of alcoholic Alabama singer/ songwriter Hank Williams (Tom Hiddleston) from his marriage to Audrey (Elizabeth Olsen) in 1944, his quick rise to fame in the country music arena composing more than 33 singles (such as, “Hey, Good Lookin’,” “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Honky Tonk Blues,” “Jambalaya (On the Bayou),” “I Saw the Light,” “Take These Chains from My Heart,” “Move It on Over” and “Ramblin’ Man”) in six years, to his untimely death at 29 years old to heart disease shortly after marrying his second wife Billie Jean Jones (Maddie Hasson).
— A convoluted, disappointing, fast-paced, loveit-or-hate-it, star-dotted (Naomi Watts, Octavia Spencer, Maggie Q, Xander Berkeley), 121-minute thriller highlighted by mediocre acting and weak special effects in which five tenacious, doggedly determined citizens (Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort and Zoë Kravitz) escape from war-ravaged Chicago over the forbidden wall and find themselves in a futuristic, 5-acre city ruled by a duplicitous, iron-fisted director (Jeff Daniels) where they learn shocking and unsettling news that their lives are monitored and based on an experiment after scientists tampered with the human genome.

For Hugo businessman, it’s good to be king BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
The man behind the legend of the seven gently sloping hills in a winter paradise known as Minnesota resides in Hugo. His name in the 130th year of the St. Paul Winter Carnival is King Boreas, King of the Winds. At any other time, it's Jim Flaherty. He is the youngest royal sovereign in carnival history.
When Flaherty applied for the job at the urging of Bill Foussard, former King Boreas and owner of the Best Western Country Inn in White Bear Lake, he knew it was a big commitment. "After talking about it with my family, I thought it would be a great adventure and a way to give back," Flaherty said. "King Boreas and his royal court do much more than reign for the 10 days of the winter carnival. There are about 400 ap-

pearances and 65 parades. I fi gure it's 50-50 carnival and regular work." His regular work is as co-owner with wife Kari of Allegra, a downtown St. Paul marketing company that provides graphic design, branding, or anything printing-related; and Imagery 360, a full signage company. The couple has two sons, Shawn and Ryan, who attend Frassati Catholic Academy in White Bear Lake. The entire family participates in carnival events. "They do behindthe-scenes stuff while we're pre-occupied with carrying on the (King of the Winds) legend," he said. As business owners, the Flahertys support Boy Scouts of America and many area nonprofits like Merrick, the Autism Society, Give Us Wings and White Bear hockey. "We are involved in making those organizations successful," Flaherty said. One of his favorite royal gigs so far was a volunteer appreciation bowl-athon at Flaherty's Bowl (no relation) for Merrick Inc. He knighted some people for outstanding achievements and got to interact with clients.
"Merrick should get more notoriety for what they do," he said. Karen Herrera, communications director for the Vadnais Heights company, said Flaherty has "a strong philanthropic heart." To earn the crown, Flaherty met with four former kings who make the decision based on an interview process. The coronation was Jan. 29. Past kings also mentor Boreas throughout the year on expectations and conduct. Foussard is one of his coaches. King Boreas, 37, has lived in Hugo for seven years. "We love it here," Flaherty said. "There's a great group of kids around for our boys to play with and some of our best friends are our next door neighbors. The area is flourishing and safe and a perfect distance away." At least not too far from St. Paul, the historic saintly city nestled among the seven gently sloping hills as the legend goes, that was the capital of all the king's domains and the winter playground of the realm of Boreas. At least, until next year.
