For the love of swans BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
White Bear Lake resident and wildlife photographer Debbie Hartmann has been photographing the trumpeter swans that gather on the open water in Vadnais-Sucker Lake Regional Park during the winter for eight years. She was surprised when she ran across a dead one lying in the snowy woods this February. Three weeks later, in early March, she found three dead swans on the ice on Sucker Lake. “This now for sure is not normal,” she remembered thinking. Hartmann reported the perished swans to the Vadnais Lake Area Water
Management Organization (VLAWMO). Dawn Tanner, program development coordinator, began to monitor the swans. She retrieved four dead swans over several days and brought them to the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Center to see if a cause of death could be determined. Up to 11 swans died in the Sucker Lake channel area this winter, Tanner said. Hartmann said she saw nine herself; they weren't sure if some of the ones they spotted were the same or not. VLAWMO figured they had likely perished due to the severe winter weather until it received back lab results from DEBBIE HARTMANN | SUBMITTED

Stakeholders want piece of penalty paid by Water Gremlin BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Misty morning runners Participants in the spring Rotary Strive Scholarship Race emerge from an early morning fog bank streaming off White Bear Lake Saturday, April 6. Some of the runners shared that the light mist and relatively cool temperature actually created good conditions for a run. Find more photos of the event on page 9B.
ST. PAUL — Area legislators continue to tweak a bill that will divvy up a multi-million dollar pie. They're asking for a $2.25 million appropriation that is exactly half the civil penalty paid by Water Gremlin in the settlement agreement with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Chief authors Sen. Roger Chamberlain and Rep. Ami Wazlawik, who represent constituents living within a 1.5-mile radius of the White Bear Township plant, are proposing the money go into a trichloroethylene (TCE) Emission Response Account that benefits those impacted by the chemical release. The legislation, SF2307 and HF2368, directs the MPCA commissioner to work with stakeholders to identify and recommend projects funded through the account. Stakeholders include elected officials from Gem Lake, White Bear Lake, White Bear Township and four individuals appointed by the Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group (NCCG).

Nothing to indicate drinking water unsafe ST. PAUL — There is no information to indicate that drinking water has been tainted by contaminant emissions from Water Gremlin. That assessment was released last month by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), which said trichloroethylene (TCE) has never been detected in municipal drinking water supplies from White Bear Lake and White Bear Township, home to the company that makes fi shing sinkers and battery terminals. Shallow groundwater on Water Gremlin property was found to be contaminated during sampling from 1998 to 2004, but contamination did not travel to deeper groundwater used for drinking water, according to the MPCA. Groundwater sampling will be conducted this summer to determine if other groundwater releases have occurred at the Water Gremlin plant since 2004. The Department of Health is also sampling a select number of private wells to provide addition-
al reassurance to residents near the facility. Last Friday, it was reported that 12 private wells tested in Gem Lake proved negative for TCE. MPCA iterated that the TCE in the air released from Water Gremlin would not have reached the groundwater. TCE released in the air breaks down in the atmosphere in days to weeks. If any TCE from the air ended up in surface waters or on soils, it would have quickly evaporated. Groundwater beneath the Water Gremlin property was tested in the 1990s after a facility inspection reported evidence of chemical spills. Testing then showed a mix of volatile organic compounds, including TCE, in shallow groundwater on Water Gremlin property. Groundwater was monitored until 2004 when contaminants were no longer found that tested above Department of Health guidance values. Liquid TCE easily moves through soils, so TCE that is spilled or dumped can travel to groundwater. TCE is a common contaminant in groundwa-
ter. The chemical breaks down quickly in air but slowly in groundwater. Data collected by the health department the last 25 years shows TCE has never been detected in the municipal drinking water in White Bear Lake or White Bear Township. One municipal well in the township showed “very low levels of petroleum compounds,� which were “far below levels of concern to health.� That well is currently sampled quarterly for volatile organic compounds because of the detections. An environmental consultant will follow an MPCA-approved work plan to sample groundwater at the Water Gremlin facility this summer. The agency noted it will provide results to the community when available. Anyone with questions for MPCA can call 651201-4897 and leave a message or email health. hazard@state.mn.us.

Adopt a storm drain on your street to help protect rivers, lakes and wetlands BY ANGIE HONG CONTRIBUTING WRITER
A new Adopt-a-Drain program debuted across the seven-county metro area. Its goal is to engage residents in helping to prevent water pollution through small-scale volunteer action, just 15 minutes at a time, and only twice a month (www.adopt-a-drain. org). You can join more than 3,400 “adopters� by volunteering to keep your nearest storm drain clear of litter, leaves, grass clippings and dirt that would otherwise pollute our waterways. Storm drains help to protect neighborhoods against flooding, but they also flow to rivers, lakes and wetlands, carrying debris off our streets and into the water. Most cities use street sweepers to help keep the streets clean, but these machines are expensive to operate and usually only run 2-4 times per year. Residents can help do their part by
spending a few minutes each month clearing their nearest storm drains and sweeping up leaves, dirt and garbage in the street in front of their homes. To adopt a storm drain, go to www. Adopt-a-Drain.org and use the map to fi nd your neighborhood storm drains. Then click and sign up to adopt. To dispose of the waste you collect, separate it into three categories and place it in the appropriate receptacles: trash, recyclables (glass and plastic bottles, cans) and compostables (leaves and grass clippings). Sediment collected in the spring contains winter road salt and should be put in the trash. During the spring snowmelt, you can also help to protect your street from flooding by clearing away snow and ice built up around your storm drain so that the water can flow freely. When you’re done, go online to report your work so that local partners can measure our collective impact.
Though the Adopt-a-Drain program is just now expanding into the larger Twin Cities area, a pilot version of the program has been operating in St. Paul since 2014. Last year, storm drain adopters reported collecting a total of 35,562 pounds of debris that would have otherwise washed into city lakes or the Mississippi River. The program has also sparked friendly neighborhood competitions: Hamline-Midway competed against Como to see which neighborhood could adopt the most storm drains. Adopt-a-Drain was developed by Metro Watershed Partners, a coalition of more than 70 public, private, and nonprofit organizations in the Twin Cities area, that works together to inspire people to protect water quality in their communities. Partners share stories of everyday Minnesotans taking action to protect water (www.CleanwaterMN.org) and meet monthly to share resources and

develop new skills. According to Jana Larson, a staff member at Hamline University who’s played a lead role in developing Adopt-a-Drain, Minnesota’s program is the largest in the nation. Several other large cities are piloting similar programs — Houston, Oakland, New Orleans, Norfolk – but Minnesota’s is the only program that includes more than one city and, in typical Minnesota fashion, already has more volunteers signed up than in any other location. “People really become attached to their drains,� Larson laughs, “Many have even named them.� To learn more about the program and adopt a drain in your neighborhood, visit www.Adopt-a-Drain.org.

Three years already?
W
hen I got a nice card in the mail thanking me for my work, it hit me that I have been at Press Publications for three years. The time has sure flown by. Before becoming the editor of the Quad Community Press and The Citizen, I worked as a staff reporter and eventually a news editor for a couple of papers in southern Minnesota. For the past three years I have strived to give the community what it deserves, Out and a local paper that highlights the amazing things people are About accomplishing here and keeps people in the loop of what is Shannon happening around town. Granholm I have enjoyed getting to know the communities I cover (Lino Lakes, Circle Pines, Lexington, Blaine, Hugo and Centerville) and what is important to them. After three years I can tell you that I still love what I do. I enjoy meeting people and sharing their stories. Every day boasts something different whether it is a city council, new restaurant, event, school play or recently the new police K-9 Argos. People always ask me what is the favorite story I have ever written and I can never answer that question. I have had the opportunity to write so many stories that matter. Most likely it involved a dog. But really, my favorite kind of stories are the inspirational ones, the ones that make you feel good after reading them. It is my hope that the stories I write can serve as a memento and be sent to relatives, placed in a scrapbook or even hung on refrigerators or walls. Of course, oftentimes there are stories that I really don’t want to write, but the community is counting on me to do so. A recent example is a suicide that happened in the Waters Edge Community in Hugo. Although we don’t always cover these tragic events, the community was counting on us to fi nd out what happened. We had numerous people reach out to us by phone, email, social media, mail and even the Nextdoor app who were wondering what happened. We heard from one resident who was out walking her dogs in the area and decided to turn around when she saw officers hiding behind bushes with rifles. After watching the TV news and looking at some other media outlets, they weren’t able to fi nd any information about what happened in their neighborhood. One thing that also became apparent was the amount of rumors that can start on social media. When I spoke with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office I went down the list of things I had read online that happened and virtually none of them were true. That’s why it is so important for editors and reporters to follow up and fi nd out the real story instead of just sharing what can be found on social media. I have learned a lot in my three years on the job and look forward to continuing to learn and write stories that matter. Thank you for welcoming me to the community. As always, if you ever have any story ideas or photos you would like to share with us, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can reach me at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com or citizennews@ presspubs.com. Shannon Granholm is editor of The Citizen and Quad Community Press.

No fresh air for allergy and asthma sufferers
W
hile the warmth of spring is a blessing after a long, cold and snowy winter, the season does come with drawbacks for those of us with allergies and/or asthma. ALLERGIES Experts say Minnesota’s hard winter can make spring allergy season even more intense. It’s caused by a mixture of mold from the melting snow and rain and the already blooming plants and trees. If it warms up really quick, the combination of mold and pollen will create the perfect storm for allergy sufferers. For some, you can see it all over their face. Top symptoms include: • Runny nose • Watery eyes • Sneezing Movers & • Coughing • Itchy eyes and Shakers nose Carolyn McClain • Dark circles under the eyes
Triggers The immune system mistakenly sees the pollen as foreign invaders and releases antibodies — substances that normally identify and attack bacteria, viruses and other illness-causing organisms. The antibodies attack the allergens, which leads to the release of chemicals called histamines into the blood. Histamines trigger the runny nose, itchy eyes, and other symptoms of allergies.
Treatment • Antihistamines reduce sneezing, sniffling, and itching by lowering the amount of histamine in the body. • Decongestants clear mucus out of the nasal passageways to relieve congestion and swelling. • Antihistamine/decongestants combine the effects of both drugs. • Nasal spray decongestants relieve congestion and may clear clogged nasal passages faster than oral decongestants. • Cromolyn sodium nasal spray can help prevent hay fever by stopping the release of histamine before it can trigger allergy symptoms. • Eye drops relieve itchy, watery eyes. • Make sure to talk to your doctor fi rst about these medications, even those that are available over the counter.
Triggers People with allergies to molds, dust mites and pollen are usually prone to getting asthma attacks from new smells or very strong odors. Because of this, people with allergies should try to avoid dusting in the home or being in extremely dusty areas. Other asthma triggers include infections like the common cold and cigarette smoke.
ASTHMA Airborne allergens also can trigger or aggravate asthma, a condition in which the airways narrow, making breathing difficult and leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
When medicines don’t work Asthma sufferers need to be particularly aware of their condition and whether the medicine prescribed is properly controlling their symptoms. Here are signs that an asthma sufferer may need immediate medical attention.
Exercise-induced asthma In spring, the colder dryer air that asthma sufferers inhale while exercising triggers the muscle bands around the airways to contract and narrow. This happens because the airways of an asthma sufferer are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes. The result is coughing, difficulty breathing, unusual fatigue and even an asthma attack.
Treating and preventing asthma attacks Asthma is treated with two types of medicines: long-term control and quick-relief medicines. Long-term control medicines like inhaled corticosteroids help reduce airway inflammation and prevent asthma symptoms. Quick-relief, or “rescue,” medicines like inhaled short-acting beta2-atonists help relieve asthma symptoms that may flare up.
Early and aggressive asthma treatment is key to relieving symptoms and preventing asthma attacks. If you think you may have asthma or are worried about how well your asthma is controlled, be sure to talk to your doctor or visit us at The Urgency Room in Vadnais Heights. Dr. Carolyn McClain is medical director of The Urgency Room.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sweep up the S th salt lt We have made it through a snowy and icy winter. We are ready for spring and summer, a time to enjoy our wonderful lakes and rivers. We can help keep our waters healthy by keeping the salty ice melt out of our storm water sewers. To do so, we can sweep up the extra salt on our sidewalks, driveways and roads. While the state, counties, cities and townships do a lot of the cleanup, we all can help. Simply sweep up the excess salt that you see. Don’t wash it into the gutters. From there, it goes into the stormwater sewers and into our great lakes and rivers. There is no easy way to get salt out of our lakes, so we need to make sure we keep it out. All of us together can make that happen. Kay Sargent White Bear Township
Why pay more for immigrant lawyers? As I understand it, Ramsey County will allocate $100,000 to create an immigration legal defense fund to hire lawyers for immigrants who are detained by authorities and can’t afford representation, which will be matched by funds from Vera Institute’s “safe” cities network, which promotes sanctuary cities. (St. Paul Pioneer Press, 11-6-18) As a rule of law, Miranda rights states that a lawyer will be provided if a defendant cannot afford one. Why, as taxpayers, are we paying so much more for something that we’re already paying for? Please call your county commissioner. Thank you. Cathy Schultz Vadnais Heights
Housing crisis as prices rise While it ran in a different newspaper, a recent Star Tribune story about the growing housing crisis in the Twin Cities metro has important implications for White Bear Lake. According to data from Zillow, medi-
thl rents t iin Whit i an monthly White B Bear h have risen at three times the rate of inflation since 2010 and now top $1,500. Median home prices have risen 33 percent in just the past five years. The rapid rise in costs are squeezing family budgets. Nearly a third of White Bear Lake households are cost-burdened, meaning they pay over 30 percent of their income on housing costs. For households that are renting, the share increases to over 50 percent. Our rental vacancy rate of 1% is well below the already troubling 2% rate throughout the metro. These trends threaten the vitality of our area and underscore the need to continue efforts to diversify housing options. If we are going to create ladders of opportunity for families, it begins by ensuring folks can afford the roof over their head. Additional housing options will benefit us all by providing seniors an opportunity to age in place, granting more young families like mine an opportunity to purchase their first home, and ensuring that the new teachers, day care providers and home health aides that will care for our community can afford to be here. The communities that seize the chance to create affordability and choice for people will lead the future. White Bear can do this without sacrificing the unique charm we all love, as evidenced by the over 400 housing units that were added in the city from 2013-17. Granting more people the opportunity to enjoy the city of lakes and legends will make us a stronger community, not a weaker one. Justin Stofferahn White Bear Township
Thank you from Zephyr performing arts It was wonderful to see the great pictures by Paul Dols in the most recent White Bear Press highlighting Mahtomedi High School Theatre Department’s Night at the Theater Talent Show. The show is put together and run by the students to help raise funds for the theater program. I was
i attendance tt d th i d can say in thatt evening, and how impressed I was with the talent and poise demonstrated by all of the students. Also, I would like to thank you for your coverage of the performance of Mary Poppins Jr. at Lincoln Elementary in the previous week’s paper. Our community around the lake has a variety of band, choir, and theater programs from elementary school age on up. Your coverage of these types of activities helps increase awareness for students, parents and community members about the opportunities available for them to participate in — either on stage or as a member of the audience. Thank you for your support! Kelly Olsen Zephyr Performing Arts Foundation
The gift of organ donation Heartfelt condolences to Gary Bougie on the loss of his son and also gratitude to him for expressing that organ donation is a gift to those left to grieve the loss of a loved one. For all I know, my daughter Madeline’s heart is still beating. She died in a car accident in 1993 at 16 months. Her legacy is helping seven people live or have improved quality of life. I wouldn’t wish membership in this club on anyone. But the possibility that she spared others this loss is a great comfort. Linda Henry White Bear Township
b more traffi t ffic on some other th roads, d may be but that sounds a little like “not in my back yard.” I have had no input on the additional traffic on Bald Eagle Blvd. as road construction occurs and Hugo grows. That is part of life for the greater good. I urge those around Bald Eagle to make it safer for not just our residents, but for the community as a whole. Many drive to the area, park at the boat landing and then begin their journeys around the lake. I am tired of jumping the curb while walking and getting hit in the face with shrubbery while on my bike. Minor changes would make a huge impact on safety. One-way roads generally slow down traffic as well. How successful and lovely is it to be able to walk Lake Avenue on White Bear Lake all year round? Please contact your government officials to encourage a test of a one-way roadway from H2 to Hugo Road. Let’s give it a good, “Minnesota nice” try! Carole Moore White Bear Lake
Make Birchwood streets wider Why not resurface, repair and make streets as wide as possible, make a bike path on the side closest to the lake, and keep the speed limit at 25 mph? Logic should always prevail. County Road F really needs re-surfacing soon. Jo Haus Birchwood
Give one-way a try
Try a Trail on Bald Eagle Blvd.
I am a longtime resident, living on the south shore of Bald Eagle Lake. I am grateful for the beautiful lake and the opportunity I have to spend time near the water. I am a regular walker and bicyclist and am a strong proponent of a one-way road. I am an even stronger proponent of at least giving it a trial. Yes, I will be inconvenienced slightly by having to leave my home and return to my home from only one direction. I understand emergency service issues have been addressed and they are not concerned about response times changing. Yes, there
I agree with the writer in last week’s paper that it’s time to make Bald Eagle Boulevard safe for people to walk, run, and bike. Times are changing and people want to be able to safely enjoy our beautiful lake. We are missing out on an opportunity to make an amazing difference in our community. Let’s give a one-way a try at least on a portion of the lake, as many have suggested. Giving it a try will provide insight to how fabulous a trail can be. Dawn Hiniker White Bear Township
OBITUARY NOTICES
Dorothy Deakin Brown Dorothy Deakin Brown 1923-2019 Born in 1923, Dorothy Deakin grew up in Jamaica, N.Y. The daughter of James and Ruth Deakin, she lived through some amazing times. New York City during the Big Band era, World War II, and family vacations at Green Hill Beach, Rhode Island. She went to business school and worked at Lionel trains as a secretary and even fashion modeled for some of their print media advertisements. She met and married Dr. Hector Brown as he was finishing medical school in 1948 and they moved back to Dr. Brown’s home state of Minnesota to set up his medical practice and make a home in Walker. They were active in the community: participating as well leading in the local Community Church, Boys and Girls scouting, 4th of July parades, horse riding club, and other activities. And, while living in Walker, Dorothy raised her four children: Christine, Dean, Eben, and Angie. In 1964, the family moved to White Bear Lake, where Dorothy concentrated on raising the children from kindergarten through their teenage years. She was always there when we needed her, came to all of our events, and helped us pursue our dreams. She could not have been a better Mother to us and wife to our Dad. In the ‘80s, Dorothy and Hector retired to spend some golden years summering at Leech Lake and wintering at their cozy apartment in White Bear Lake. In the late ‘90s, they moved up to Alexandria to get away from the crowds and traffic of the Twin Cities. And when Hector died in 2010, Dorothy moved to the Getty Assisted Living apartments in Sauk Centre. On April 4, 2019, Dorothy died peacefully at the Sauk Centre Nursing Care Center. She was 95 years old. Dorothy is survived by her children Christine Long (Michael), Dean Brown (Patty), Eben Brown (Jill), and Angie Zwiefel (Jeffrey)... Plus a slew of grand and great-grandchildren.

The unwanted male tested 0.29 in the field sobriety test. • An Oakdale woman, 44, was cited March 22 on southbound Hilton Trail N. and 70th Street N. for tabs that expired last August after deputies behind her spotted the tabs and ran a mobile data computer check to confi rm the tabs actually did expire on that date. • A White Bear Lake man, 26, was cited March 22 in the 3500 block of East County Line Road for possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia in a motor vehicle after deputies followed the vehicle through a yellow light and noticed a brake light out.

The motorist was warned about the missing brake light. • A St. Paul man, 36, was arrested at 12:50 a.m. March 24 on East Shore Avenue for DWI, speeding and failing to stop at a stop sign after deputies observed the motorist having trouble staying within his lane and tried to pull him over.

Public safety leaders promise to support sexual assault victims BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
A new collaboration to support victims of sexual assaults was made between all Ramsey County law enforcement agencies, the Ramsey County Attorney's Office and Ramsey County Public Health during a press conference in St. Paul April 4. White Bear Lake Police Chief Julie Swanson and Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher took part in the ceremonial signing of a plan to help victims feel less afraid to report sexual assaults. “We are making a promise to the public, a promise to our victims, that we can indeed do better,� said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi. Details of the plan include that law enforcement will invite advocates to all investigative interviews with victims. Interviews will be conducted with a trauma-informed approach. All patrol officers will be trained about sexual violence. Law enforcement leaders in Ramsey County also committed to a better tracking system of sexual assault cases so none slip through the cracks. The Ramsey County Attorney's Office committed to greater collaboration so that more cases are charged and perpetrators brought to justice. Sarah Super, a sexual assault survivor, said that it matters how law enforcement and other officials respond when a victim reports a sexual assault. Throughout the process that led to a 12-year prison sentence for her perpetrator, responses from officials were either hurtful or healing. “There was no such thing as a neutral response to rape,� she noted. “Every survivor that seeks justice from the system deserves a compassionate and affirming response.� Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher said that many sexual assault victims are fearful to report the incident — such as fear of the police officer not understanding, fear of going to court and fear of having to tell their story multiple times. “The pipeline of justice is so contorted at times you can get lost,� he said. The sheriff's office goal is to connect victims with advocates as soon as possible. Deputies are also being trained to be more compassionate, not just get the needed information for charging. The county recently received a $300,000 Sexual Assault Justice Initiative grant to fund a sheriff's office investigator and attorney's office prosecutor. Assistant County Attorney Kaarin Long and Investigator Jessica O'Hern work together on sexual assault cases reported in northern Ramsey County, including Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township. The grant money has allowed O'Hern to dedicate herself solely to the sexual assault cases she has already been working on, Fletcher said. A new investigator will investigate other types of cases. Sexual assault cases reported to the sheriff's of-

fice have been increasing, O'Hern noted. With the grant money, she has been able to be more involved in the process. The sheriff's office has a new system to respond to sexual assault cases that began in January. Deputies call O'Hern right away when they are called to a sexual assault incident. She is sometimes woken up in the middle of the night to talk a deputy through how to respond. O'Hern personally goes to the hospital with victims. Officer Nathan Hook is the White Bear Lake Police Department officer that works with sexual assault victims, said Police Chief Julie Swanson. The department is committed to keeping an officer dedicated to working with such cases, she said. The department plans to increase the percentage of cases in which an advocate takes part, she noted. Last year, 70% of cases had an advocate. There were 18 cases submitted for charging last year. Ten resulted in charges. Five were declined and three are still being reviewed.
“Your story and your voice are an important part of ensuring justice in the community.� John Choi Ramsey County Attorney County sees 75% increase in sexual assault cases over 4 years Ramsey County launched a Start by Believing campaign regarding sexual assaults in 2016. “We know historically this is a very underreported crime,� Choi noted. He began a two-year study to improve response to sexual assaults. The review was completed last April and resulted in two new advocates for Ramsey County SOS Sexual Violence Services and two new investigators in the St. Paul Police Department sex crimes unit. The county has seen positive changes from its efforts since 2016. Ramsey County SOS Sexual Violence Services

saw a 58% increase in clients the last two years, said PaHoua Vang, a Ramsey County sexual assault advocate. It saw 1,200 clients in 2018. Choi's office has seen a 75% increase in cases since 2015. There were 181 in 2015 and 318 in 2018. There has also been a 19% increase in cases charged and a 17% increase in convictions. Still, the percentage of cases charged compared to the number of sexual assaults reported to police has not changed. Choi expects that will change as collaboration continues. And Choi continues to push for more resources. “We talked about a year ago that nothing is going to change unless the public, our community, invests in more resources,� he said. In the next two years, $750,000 of public investment will go toward improving outcomes for victims of sexual assault. “As more victims come forward to the law enforcement, it is so critical for us in this community to get this right,� Choi said. “We are working very hard to do that.� Fletcher said victims can report past incidents to law enforcement as well. Choi also encourages victims to report past incidents without worrying whether or not there is enough evidence or it has passed the statute of limitations. “A lot of our perpetrators are repeat offenders,� Choi said. “Your story and your voice are an important part of ensuring justice in the community.� Victims can report sexual assault incidences by calling 911. Past incidents can be reported to the county's non-emergency line at 651-767-0640. If a victim would rather speak to an advocate before speaking to law enforcement, they can call 651-2661000.

SWANS: About half brought to rehabilitation center have lead poisoning FROM PAGE 1A
the University of Minnesota at the end of March — the four swans had died from lead toxicity, likely from lead fishing sinkers. The area where the swans gathered, in the Sucker Lake channel near Highway 96 in Vadnais Heights, is a popular fishing area, Tanner said. The swans that died likely took lead fishing sinkers into their gizzards instead of pebbles, which they use to grind their food. Lead, unlike stone, is soft and is broken down in their gizzards. It then spreads through the swan's body and causes poisoning, Tanner explained. Death usually comes within three weeks. The highest lead concentration level in one of the swans tested was 101 parts per million, Tanner said. “Normally, that would be zero,” she noted. In addition, there were six dead swans found near Peltier Dam in Lino Lakes this winter, Tanner said. The area is also a high-use fishing spot. In the winter, swans gather where there is open water. When it is really cold, open water is restricted, which is perhaps why so many swans gathered at the Sucker Lake channel and Peltier Dam this winter. Hartmann counted 75 swans in the park earlier this winter, but there were likely up to 100, she noted. She went out to photograph the swans a dozen times this winter. “The colder the better,” she said. Hartmann said she enjoys the solitude of photographing wildlife at 15 degrees below zero — it's just her and the swans. The only thing she can hear is their trumpeting. A self-described “crazy swan lady,” she talks to the swans, too. “When I am out there, I just feel like it's like therapy,” she said. “They are just mesmerizing: the interactions between the swans and wings up in the air. It is just so beautiful. When I see under their wings, I think they are like a work of art.” Hartmann said she was super sad when she heard the swans had died from lead toxicity. “I was totally naive,” she said. “I thought lead had been banned a couple of years ago. I did not realize it was still being manufactured and sold. … If you fish and hunt, why would you want to use lead in your products? You would think they would want healthy water and healthy wildlife.” Minnesota did try to ban lead fishing sinkers, but there was opposition from the fishing community, Tanner said. There are safe alternatives available, but they cost a bit more than lead.
DAWN TANNER | SUBMITTED
One of the swans Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization Community Development Coordinator Dawn Tanner retrieved from Vadnais-Sucker Lake Regional Park in March. The University of Minnesota later determined it had died from lead poisoning, likely from lead fishing sinkers.
YOU SHOULD KNOW: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency maintains a list of manufacturers and retailers of lead-free tackle. You can find the list at pca.state.mn.us/living-green/manufacturers-and-retailers-nonlead-tackle.
Tanner said people often don't make the switch because they don't see dead birds. The discovery of the Sucker Lake swans this winter is important new evidence to show anglers lead really does kill wildlife, Tanner said. She plans to testify about it at the state Capitol on Minnesota Water Action Day April 10. VLAWMO also plans to put a sign up in Vadnais-Sucker Lake Regional Park about lead sinkers and the threat they cause to wildlife. About half of the swans that are brought to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota in Roseville have lead toxicity, according to Renee Schott, medical director and senior veterinarian. From 2011 to 2018, the center saw 118 swans with lead toxicity. But swans aren't the only wildlife that suffer from lead poisoning. “We get a lot of animals that we diagnose with lead toxicity from across the state,” Schott said. From 2011 to 2018, the center saw 1,235 animals with lead toxicity. Animals the center has diagnosed include geese, mallards, swans, loons, pigeons, crows, blue jays, robins, squirrels and opossums.

Sources: Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization, Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, Wildlife Photographer Debbie Hartmann While it is easy to track exactly how waterfowl contract lead toxicity because they keep items in their gastrointestinal tracts, it is unclear exactly how other birds and animals contract it, Schott said. Such animals likely lived in an industrial area with a high concentration of lead in the ground, ate a piece of metal with lead in it or a lead bullet, and then passed it. Lead doesn't often occur naturally in the environ-
ment, so lead toxicity in animals is definitely a human-caused problem, she added. She said people can help by using lead-free bullets, shots and fishing tackle, and prevent pollution in general. In the summer, you might see Hartmann canoeing on White Bear Lake and photographing eagles and herons. She posts her wildlife photography at debbiehartmann.com.

STAKEHOLDERS: Help draft legislation to fund testing FROM PAGE 1A
Among the items proposed for funding: • A health risk assessment. Money from the environmental fund will be used to conduct a review of health issues potentially related to TCE exposure. A report would be due Jan. 15, 2020 to members of the House and Senate. For budgetary purposes, $400,000 was estimated for this project. • Testing of water and sediments. MPCA would collect water samples from all water within two miles of Water Gremlin and test for TCE, lead and arsenic. $300,000 was budgeted. • Testing of soil. The agency would collect soil samples in a two-mile perimeter and test for TCE, lead and arsenic. $300,000 is budgeted. • Cumulative air impact analysis. Cumulative air impacts would be analyzed within two miles of the plant. The analysis includes impact information from sources regulated for TCE, Fluosolv or any other hazardous air pollutants, to address the cumulative impact on human health. $200,000 is budgeted. • Ambient air testing. At least three ambient air monitors will be located within one mile of Water Gremlin, one of them upwind for five years to collect samples of hazardous air pollutants, volatile organic compounds and lead. $900,000 is budgeted. • Identifying alternatives to TCE. The stakeholders will work with MNTap or another independent, qualified organization to research the safety and effectiveness of TCE replacements. $50,000 is budgeted. A request was also made by Sen. Chuck Wiger to add language that ensures prompt notification of hazardous exposure in the future. The senator was upset when MPCA refused to release certain information from the agency's investigation prior to the settlement. The NCCG has been active in helping to craft the legislation. Spokesperson Sherry Hastings noted that TCE alternatives like Fluosolv are a big concern
in neighborhoods surrounding Water Gremlin. In an email to Rep. Wazlawik, Hastings indicated that NCCG wants to be actively involved in understanding Fluosolv so communities can be better educated on the potential health impacts of the chemical over time. Also noted in the project proposal: Money in the account cannot be used towards injury or tort claims. The bills are expected to be heard in the Senate and House by Easter break. “There is plenty of momentum,” Wiger noted. “It's a work in progress. Any differences can be worked out in a conference committee as need be.” Chamberlain is also working on a bill banning TCE (SF2075). The House passed a similar bill April 1 (see separate story).
Private wells test negative
The Department of Health is sampling private wells in Gem Lake for contaminants in the aftermath of the Water Gremlin emissions alert, including trichloroethylene (TCE). Hydrogeologist Ginny Yingling reported 12 wells were sampled in March and tested for 68 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including TCE and its various breakdown products. “No VOCs were detected in those samples,” she said. The health department planned to test the water at Gem Lake's town hall April 8. The building is just down Otter Lake Road from the Water Gremlin plant. Results will take about two weeks. Yingling doesn't expect the city hall samples to be any different. “On-site monitoring wells at Water Gremlin did not detect any TCE or other VOCs migrating off the property and there really is no airborne deposition pathway for the TCE that was emitted to the air to get into the groundwater,” the hydrogeologist noted. “TCE has too high of a vapor pressure to migrate from air to water once it's evaporated into the air.”

Minnesota House approves legislation banning trichloroethylene ST. PAUL — Last week, the Minnesota House approved legislation that would ban trichloroethylene (TCE), a known carcinogen. The bill (HF 2276), authored by Rep. Ami Wazlawik (DFL – White Bear Lake), prohibits the use of TCE for manufacturing purposes. “No Minnesotan should ever experience preventable health risks,” said Rep. Wazlawik. “Thousands of people in my community fear that exposure to TCE may have increased their risk for cancer and other serious health issues. It’s time we ban TCE to protect the health and well-being of the people of Minnesota.” TCE is an industrial solvent used to degrease metal parts or as an intermediate for producing other chemicals. It can also be found in some consumer products such as paint strippers, adhesives and spot removers. Research has linked TCE to a range of serious health effects. Long-term exposure can increase the risk of certain types of cancer, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, kidney cancer and liver cancer. Additional evidence suggests that it can cause fetal heart defects and impact development of the immune system in early life. It can also affect the central nervous system, kidneys, liver and male reproductive system. In January, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) announced that a facility in White Bear Township had been emitting high levels of TCE. The MPCA’s investigation of the manufacturing plant revealed that these emissions had been occurring since 2002. Press release
Filling children’s lives with magic, 1 wig at a time BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD COMMUNITY EDITOR
Since its founding in 2014, The Magic Yarn Project has delivered well over 12,000 wigs to 48 countries. In January, the first state chapter of the project was founded by Ham Lake (former Circle Pines) resident Gwyn Yuhanna. “The biggest thing about having this chapter, is not only are we making wigs here in Minnesota, but we are delivering them here to kids in Minnesota,” Yuhanna explained. She said that before the chapter was created, she had to send all the wigs she made to her region’s headquarters in Kansas. Yuhanna found out about The Magic Yarn Project after stumbling across the website. She used to crochet, and she wanted to see if she could pick it back up. After watching videos on YouTube and getting help from her sister-in-law, she succeeded. “I just got crazy with it. By the end of the year I made over 200 wigs.” The Magic Yarn Project is a nonprofit organization based out of Palmer, Alaska. The organization’s mission is to bring magic into the lives of children battling cancer and inspire volunteerism to make a difference. Chemotherapy treatments often leave young scalps too sensitive for traditional wigs, so the project’s yarn wigs are comfy, soft and warm. The wigs are inspired by Disney characters and invite children back to the world of play and daydreaming during scary times. Yuhanna said the most popular wigs are based on Disney’s Ariel, Elsa and Rapunzel. Other characters include Belle, Moana, Minions, Jack Sparrow, Spider-Man and Captain Marvel. To be able to start the first Minnesota

chapter, Yuhanna attended a four-day training in Cincinnati and applied to be a chapter leader. The chapter has already hosted two public workshops at the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department in addition to four other private workshops. “As a chapter leader, my goal is to complete 100 wigs this year. I also have a fundraising goal to cover the startup costs and the cost of supplies for the beanies and wigs,” Yuhanna said. “The estimated value of each wig is $50.” At the workshops, attendees help assemble the wigs, which are already crocheted. “There are different ways to get involved: you can crochet, (hold) fundraisers (yarn/supply drives), put together flowers, cut yarn, decorate envelopes or host a private workshop,” Yuhanna explained. Lino Lakes resident LouAnn Snell is one of four “Fairy Godmothers” who helped start the chapter. She found out about The Magic Yarn Project after receiving an email from Gofundme, which featured the organization. After reading more about the project, Snell knew she wanted to get involved but
could not crochet. She started assembling flowers and decorating envelopes at her home. “As I think towards retirement, I have taken art classes and different things, and I thought ‘I really don’t need to make things that are just going to fill up my house,’” she explained. “This is a hobby, but it is doing good. Every time I work on a wig, I picture a child and what joy it is going to bring to them.” Yuhanna shared a story about a child named Holly who received a wig. “Her mother wrote us a note and sent us a picture of Holly in her wig. ‘(She wrote) No one even notices that she is sick with her Elsa wig on. She enjoys being a kid again.’” Currently, the chapter partners with Children’s Hospital Minneapolis. Yuhanna said the hope is to also partner with the University of Minnesota Journey Clinic in the future. For more information about The Magic Yarn Project, visit https:// themagicyarnproject.com/. To request a private workshop, or become involved with the chapter, contact Yuhanna at gwyn@themagicyarnproject.com.

Early engineering work starting at town’s Stables BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The Stables of White Bear Township is taking another stride forward. A proposal for civil engineering services was accepted by the Town Board April 1 to the tune of $18,000. Larson Engineering Inc. will do the work, which involves a grading and drainage plan, erosion control and utility plans and earthwork calculations. The township is preparing the property at 5685 Portland Ave. for resale to a developer. Formerly a small horse farm, the 22-acre development will be divided into eight single-family lots south of Wildwood Preserve and east of Benson Airport. The Town Board also approved the following at its April 1 meeting: • A conditional use permit to allow entryway expansion at Eagle Brook Church, 2401 Buffalo St. The 4,160-square-foot addition creates a larger lobby and better flow for churchgoers. About 250 new seats may be added to the worship center as a result of the change. The church currently seats 1,080 people. • A fi reworks license for Cub Foods from May 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020 subject to approval by the fi re inspector. • Use of township roads for the BearPower Family Breakaway Bike Ride Saturday, May 18. • Advertisement for bids for Brandlwood Park upgrades. A budget of $80,000 was approved by residents at the annual budget meeting. Outdated equip-
ment will be replaced. Requested components include a zip line, rubber surface under the swings, climbing bars, tall slides, hanging bars, spiral slide, Rope Venture and ArchClimber from Burke catalog. The newer multiuse structure and climbing boulder should remain. • Award of $660,700 contract to M.K. Painting Inc. for repainting the Hammond Road water tower. The bid was $200,000 less than the engineering estimate. No interruption of water service is anticipated. • Revised independent contractor Township Day agreement with Lisa Beecroft of Beecroft Marketing & Events LLC. Beecroft will receive $7,000 as Township Day director/coordinator and $350 for each movie in the park night. • White Bear Lake School District's proposal to prepare and maintain Polar Lakes Park ballfields at a cost of $9,500. Funding will come from the parks operating budget. • Fielded several questions from representatives of the Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group. The group cites its purpose as understanding the impact of environmental pollutants released by Water Gremlin. John Bartholomew lives across the street from the plant. He asked supervisors if a Water Gremlin expansion is on hold. “The company voluntarily pulled that request at a February meeting,” Chair Ed Prudhon replied. Bartholomew said he's been to the Capitol four times to support legislation related to trichloroethylene emissions. Sheri Smith asked about the tree planting plan that was part of the settlement agreement between Water Gremlin and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
Supervisor Steve Ruzek said he and the town clerk met with the nonprofit Tree Trust people to talk about where to plant 1,500 trees. There is no plan right now, but the trees will be going on public property in the three communities affected by Water Gremlin. Tree Trust will plant the trees and maintain them the fi rst two years. Smith said she would “love not to see the plant.” Ruzek said they are talking about Water Gremlin being an exception to the public property directive. “We don't know yet,” he told her. Prudhon assured the residents that Water Gremlin is under a “township microscope” for the next three years. “As far as I'm concerned, I won't approve any expansions for at least that long to see that they are abiding by the terms. When public trust is broken, it takes a long time to mend, if it ever does.”

Coaching a family affair for Kwapick, who ends 10-year tenure with Bears
LISA SIDDONS | SUBMITTED
Behind the bench: Jerry Kwapick is a banker by profession. BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
“Assist” is a key statistic in hockey. While coaching the White Bear Lake girls, Jerry Kwapick always got huge assists from his wife, three daughters, and sons-inlaw. Now that the clan is getting larger, Kwapick is stepping away, after 10 solid seasons. A promotion at his banking job is also a factor. “We’ve got two grandchildren now,” said Kwapick. “And in my ‘real’ job, I just got a new position that I have to devote more time to. So it seemed like the right time.” Kwapick was able to quit after the highlight of his 10year tenure, as the Bears, after a so-so regular season, shut out three section opponents and reached the state tournament, capped by a 2-0 win over longtime nemesis Hill-Murray. They lost both games at state. “The smiles on the girls' faces after they finally beat Hill is something I’ll remember the rest of my life,” said Kwapick. “That was like a state championship for them.” Kwapick, who announced his resignation at the team banquet March 27, had 148 wins, 99 losses and 27 ties in his decade at the helm. He reflected that “working with the fabulous student athletes over the years” was always

a joy, and daily interactions with them is what he will miss most. A banker for 36 years, he is currently SVP Chief Sales Officer for Lake Area Bank, which he credits for being “very supportive of my coaching commitment” and willing to give him the time he needed to coach. Kwapick’s wife, Linda, helped him “from the start to the finish,” working on such tasks as penalty box, team statistics, fund-raising, and with this year’s team move from the Vadnais rink to White Bear Sports Center. Kwapick’s youngest daughter, Heidi, played her last two high school seasons for him. (He also coached Heidi’s group when they won the U12 state tournament.) His oldest and middle daughters, Carrie and Nicole, each were assistant coaches for three years. In addition, two sons-in-law, and a son-in-law-to-be, have assisted with the game clock, penalty box and fund-raising. “I am one blessed man, being able to coach high school hockey in my own community, and with my entire family involved,” Kwapick said. “Any success I may have had
with this program was because of my fabulous family.” And here’s the kicker. After the big win over Hill-Murray on Feb. 15, Nicole went into labor, and she and husband David had their baby, Landon, two days later. “How was that for a memory maker,” the coach marveled. Kwapick played for Kellogg High School in the 1970s, and for Hamline from 1979-83. As with his coaching career, college hockey was a family thing; his brothers Jim and Clemence were his teammates with the Pipers. “Highlight of my career,” he said. Brian Peloquin, White Bear Lake activities director, said the district will conduct a full search and interview process. “Coach Kwapick has been an asset to our girls hockey program, the high school and the greater White Bear Lake community,” said Peloquin. “His passion for working with our student athletes and dedication to hockey at White Bear Lake will be hard to replace.”

Late coach honored in football hall of fame A year after he died, longtime Bear football coach Bob Jackson was inducted posthumously into the Minnesota State Football Coaches Hall of Fame. The last 19 years of his career were spent in White Bear Lake where he was athletic director and coach. Jackson led the Bears to conference championships in 2000 and 2004 and coached his team to state tournament appearances in 1997, '98, '99 and 2002. He left White Bear Lake as the winningest coach in school history with 123. Jackson passed away at age 64 on March 31, 2018. He is survived by a daughter Lisa and other family members. The honorarium read that Jackson was a “true leader of young men and women and instilled life skills of character, discipline and work ethic. His teams were a reflection of his blue collar approach and demeanor. A humble man, he led by example, never drawing attention to himself, but leaving his mark on the lives of those he touched.” Submitted

Two players added to Mahtomedi 1,000-point club
Two players’ names are added this year to the Mahtomedi basketball 1,000-Point Club — one current, one from 58 years ago. J’vonne Hadley has 1,303 points after his junior season and will likely break the school record next year. Mike Patterson, 1961 graduate whose 50-point
single game record was broken by Hadley (with 52) this year, scored about 1,200 points. That is a close estimate based on recent research, as the school did not keep such records during that era.
Mahtomedi gymnastics, 3rd place in state, has 7 all-conference
Seven Mahtomedi gymnasts were named to the all-Metro East team after the Zephyrs season in which they won conference and section championships and placed third in the state Class A meet. They are senior Kerri Manders; juniors Bella Frattalone, Kate Ryan, Caylee Greeder and Annika Daniels; sophomore Zoe Bush; and eighth-grader Abbey Bush. Named team MVP was Frattalone, who was the state all-around champion and was one of five girls named to the All-State Elite team based on regular-season allaround scores. Other team awards, announced by coach Debbie Driscoll, went to Abbey Bush and freshman Tess Mathson (most improved), Greeder (Zephyr award), and Zoe Bush and freshman Mia Gornick (unsung hero).
Mahtomedi hockey awards listed after state 3rd-place season
The Mahtomedi boys hockey team had three all-conference picks after a 23-7-1 season capped by a third-place finish at the state Class A tournament. Named to the all-Metro East list were senior Noah Skillings and juniors Nikolai Dulak and Colin Hagstrom. Honorable mentions were seniors Joe Paradise, Tom Paradise, Kory Pilarski, and Dylan L'Allier. Hagstrom and Skillings made the all-state tournament team. Dulak, the scoring leader, was named team Most Valuable Player. Other team awards announced by coach Jeff Poeschl went to Michael Miller (hardest worker); L’Allier and John Poirer (unsung heroes); Tommy Broten (Ultimate Zephyr); Connor Stoker (Warren Strelow Memorial Award); and Poirer and Connor Stoker (Hobey Baker, character).
Known for their balanced scoring, the Zephyrs set team records with 14 players earning double-digit points, and 15 scoring in the state tournament. Season leaders were (goals-assists-total) Dulak 17-2946, Hagstrom 20-20-40, Joe Paradise 14-26-40, L’Allier 11-26-37, Tom Paradise 19-16-35, Skillings 7-28-35, Kory Pilarsky 13-20-33, JD Metz 10-10-20, Cole McCarver 9-1120, Adam Johnson 8-11-19, Wyatt Begley 1-15-16, Broten 2-11-13, Michael Miller 5-7-12, and Tony Neubeck 2-8-10. Pilarsky notched 136 career points, 70 with North St. Paul and 66 with Mahtomedi, Poesch noted, adding that only about 9 percent of players earn 100 career points.
Zephyrs hoops honors announced after state tourney season
Mahtomedi boys basketball has three all-conference picks after a 25-7 season with a conference co-championship, section championship and sixth-place finish at state. Named all-Metro East were seniors J’vonne Hadley, Zac Centers and Devin Melzer. Honorable mentions went to senior Sam Bell and junior Luke Ricker. Hadley was named team Most Valuable Player. Other awards announced by coach Keith Newman went to Andrew Murphy (most improved), Bell (Mr. Defense), Centers (outstanding attitude) and Erik Bjork (outstanding effort). Hadley averaged 27.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.5 steals, shooting 58.6 percent overall and 37.9 percent on three’s, all leading the team. He was an all-metro second-team pick by the Star-Tribune and made the allstate tournament team. Centers averaged 15.5 points and led with 122 threepoint shots, sinking 37.4 percent. He led with 80.0 percent free throw shooting. Melzer averaged 11.2 points and 7.6 rebounds. Ricker averaged 6.6 points, Bell 6.2 and Cole Chapman 4.9. Bruce Strand

Family’s size, love, worldview expands through adoption BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
North Oaks residents Pat and Randy Benham didn’t plan on adopting a child when they went to hear a presentation on China at the University of Minnesota in 1995. At that time, news on abandoned babies in China due to the country’s one-child policy (replaced in 2016 with a policy allowing two children per couple) was just starting to emerge. Since traditional Chinese culture at that time preferred sons, many baby girls were being abandoned, even though it was also against the law to abandon children. So many children were being abandoned that they were dying in orphanages without enough care. The speaker said American couples could save the children’s lives through adoption. After Pat and Randy heard about the conditions of the baby girls in orphanages, they drove, speechless, to go out to eat. “I sat down, and my husband was sitting across from me and he said, ‘Well, you know we are going to do it,’” Pat remembered. “It was just clear at that point that we had a daughter in China,” she added. But the Benhams had an obstacle — they already had four children and China was looking for adoptive couples who did not already have any children. They pressed through and found an adoption agency that would work with them, Crossroads, if they would consider adopting a child with special needs. The Benhams learned that “special needs” in China didn’t mean what it meant in the U.S. “The kinds of special needs they are usually talking about are cleft palates or clubfeet,” Pat said. “We just said, ‘Well, we can deal with that.’” The Benhams prepared their paperwork and in 1996 received a photo of a 4-month-old girl who would be their daughter. She had been left outside a children’s hospital with a note that included the day she was born — Pat’s birthday, according to the lunar calendar. It took four more months to pull everything together and pick up Alexandria SuShi in January 1997. “It’s just this incredible experience of somebody putting this baby in your arms and just all of a sudden you know this is your child,” Pat remembered. Bringing home a baby while in their late 40s was unexpected, but a call they felt was from God, she said. They brought Alex home to her four older siblings, ages 10 through 16, who all wanted to help take care of her. The three oldest children visited China later that year to better understand where their sister was born. The family’s worldview expanded. Chiara, 13, took a particular interest in China and began studying Chinese. She studied abroad in China during her junior year of high school, received a master’s degree in Asian studies and worked in China for four years.
“It was just clear at that point that we had a daughter in China.” Pat Benham Adoptive parent ‘We could be her family’
Pat didn’t plan on adopting another child when she traveled to China with her friend Mary, who was adopting a second child, a daughter. They also planned to bring greetings from Crossroads Adoption Services to the China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA) in Beijing, bring a commemorative plaque to a remote orphanage where money had been donated to build a playground, and visit a child they had sponsored for surgery to repair a clubfoot so he could walk and potentially be a candidate for adoption. When Pat met one of the adoption officials at CCAA, she asked him what the hardest part of the adoption process is for him. He said it was when prospective parents request to adopt a pre-identified child — a specific child they saw or met at a Chinese orphanage. This was a rare occurrence, since visitors were not usually allowed into orphanages. Pat and Mary continued their journey. “While we are at the orphanage, I see this little girl — believe me, I am not thinking about adoption — I am thinking that with five kids at home, it would be nice to go to the bathroom alone someday,”

Pat remembered. They snapped a photo of the 2-year-old girl, who had a large nevus birthmark on her arm and her back. Such a birthmark carries a risk for cancer. Pat thought that maybe she could raise funds to sponsor the removal of the nevus so that someone else would be more likely to adopt her. Pat came home and framed the picture of the little girl to remind her to pray for her and to help raise funds for sponsorship. Pat met with a dermatologist to discuss what it would take to treat the nevus; it sounded difficult, because it was on a joint and would require plastic surgery. Medical care near the orphanage in China might not be adequate to treat it, she was told. One day, Alex, now 4 years old, looked at her picture and said, “You know, she needs a family. … I know, we could be her family.” Pat told Randy what Alex had said. “I was thinking help is on the way, but it is not me,” Pat recalled. But Randy thought perhaps they were the ones. “I don’t want to be an old man someday talking about our kids and wondering about the little girl we didn’t bring home,” Pat remembered him saying. He prayed for a sign while at their parish, St. Odilia Catholic Church in Shoreview. Suddenly, he felt something like an electric current travel from his head to his toes after the priest had just said, “we are all adopted children of God” in his homily. Pat proceeded to write a letter to the official at CCAA who had told her how hard it is to match adoptive parents with a pre-identified child. She told him she had had no intention of this happening. He said yes, and even expedited the process. Alia Xiafeng came home several months later. It took eight surgeries to remove the nevus completely.

Adoptive parent to adoption advocate
Today, Alia is 20 and Alex is 22. Alex graduated from St. Benedict’s with a degree in communications and Chinese. She studied abroad in China. She has been living and working in China for four years. Alia is a mechanical engineering student at St. Thomas University. Alia recently found a biological sister, Nina, in the Netherlands, when she did 23andMe DNA testing. They met last fall. Nina is 15 months younger and lived in an orphanage 15 miles from Alia’s. Through memory and research, Pat learned she had met Nina’s adoptive parents while on the trip with her friend Mary. “We were in the civil affairs office with four couples also there adopting,” Pat remembered. “I probably saw Nina being adopted.” With her children all grown, Pat spends her extra time advocating for adoption. She recently spoke on adoption during Masses at St. Odilia Catholic Church and helped organize an informational event on adoption at the church. She is a volunteer with Bellis Adoption Education and Support. She organizes panels of birth mothers, adoptive mothers and adoptees to speak to high school health classes across the Twin Cities. The panels teach on the option of adoption from a nonreligious, nonpolitical viewpoint.

Cantonese to English: Adopted preschooler adjusts well to new home BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
It's no longer true that there is an overwhelming number of abandoned baby girls in China — but there are Chinese children in need of families. “The one-child policy went away a few years ago,” said North Oaks resident Heather Young, who adopted a girl from China with her husband Bryan a year and a half ago. “It's not true the orphanages are full of little girls.” Actually, it is a slower process to adopt a girl internationally because a majority of adoptive parents request a girl when they can, Heather said, something she didn't learn until she went through the process herself. “When people adopt, most of the time it is the women that are driving the adoption,” and women often desire a daughter, she noted. She was part of that majority that wanted a girl. Heather and Bryan had always wanted four children, but Heather also really wanted a daughter. She thought it was good to raise boys and girls together. They began the adoption process in 2014 and were planning to adopt from Kyrgyzstan but didn't receive any referrals for two years. She learned other parents on the waiting list were switching to adopt from China instead. They decided to switch too; they had considered China but had been living in Canada when they decided to adopt, where adoptions from China happened more slowly. They went to pick up Lina in Guangzhou, China, about nine months after completing a new home study with International Adoption Services and finding a new placing agency — Adoption for All Children. Lina was almost 3 years old. She screamed most of the way home, Heather said. No children had been adopted from her orphanage in Maoming for a few years, so Lina probably didn't understand what was happening. Plus, she couldn't speak English and her new parents couldn't speak her dialect of Cantonese. However, Lina adjusted quickly to a new family, culture and language. “She picked up English extremely quickly,” Heather said. “She was already talking a couple of words after she was home three months.” After a year she was fluent — for a 4-year-old. Today, no one would know she didn't speak any English until she was 3. Her trust in her parents grew from watching her three older brothers. “She's doing really well,” Heather

said. “She took a lot of keys from the boys on how does this family thing work.” Heather and Bryan learned a lot about the international adoption process through their experience. Unless you want to wait about seven years, all children adopted from China have special needs, many of which are minor like cleft lips, clubfeet and minor heart conditions. There were several requirements the Youngs had to meet in order to adopt from China having to do with their health, income, net worth, age, marital history and sexual orientation. “They are very, very strict,” Heather said. The adoption cost about $30,000, including travel. “It's expensive, but worth it,” she noted.
Adopting from China in 2019 — or maybe Korea
China made some changes to its adoption program at the end of 2017, right after Heather and Bryan brought Lina home. These changes have slowed down the adoption process, especially adoption of a young child. For those interested in adopting a young child internationally at this time, Heather would recommend adopting from Korea or India. The changes have all contributed to slowing down the adoption process from China, said Christie Lasko, executive director of Adoption for All Children. For example, agencies are no longer allowed to have orphanage partnerships. Previously, many agencies

worked directly with different orphanages to get updated and accurate information on children, Lasko said. Now, all agencies only have access to children on a government-shared list that comes out once a month. Since many adoptive families are interested in young children with minor special needs, agencies compete for children on the list and parents are under pressure to decide quickly. Information about the children on the shared list has also sometimes proven insufficient for a prospective parent to decide. “I don't feel it serves kids and families in the right way to make the best decision possible,” Lasko noted. Some U.S. agencies are estimating it could take two to three years to match adoptive parents with a child. Adoption for All Children is a smaller agency; it could take six months to a year before families are shown a child to consider, Lasko said. However, it only takes one to three months after a home study before families are shown prospective children from Korea, Lasko noted. Many babies up for adoption from Korea have minor special needs; others do not. If families are interested in a boy or children with more pronounced medical needs, the process can take less time.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Mahtomedi City Council took the following action at its April 2 meeting: • After a public hearing, unanimously (by a 4-0 vote with Councilman Steve Wolgamot absent) passed a resolution ordering a public improvement project (the 2019 Street Improvement Project), authorizing preparation of fi nal plans and specifications, authorizing the advertisement for bids and authorizing the preparation of the preliminary proposed assessment roll for pending assessment reporting purposes. As a non-petitioned project (initiated by the city, and not a formal petition initiated by citizens) the resolution must receive approval by a supermajority, or 4 of 5 council votes. The project, estimated to cost $1,070,000 due to extensive water main and sanitary sewer construction along Birchwood Road and Lost Lake Court, is expected to take at least three months. The project might be completed in 2019 if the start of construction is early enough or the construction season is long enough, City Engineer John Sachi said. The assessment hearing will take place after construction is completed. • Approved the city’s change of roadway jurisdiction agreement with the state. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) turned back a part of the Highway 244 frontage road, from Birchwood Road to Ash Street. The Wildwood Beach Road section of this frontage road (from Birchwood Road to Doover Lane) needs a mill and overlay, so MnDOT proposes to compensate the city $20,000 for the overlay work. The city will accept the $20,000, which it will not use immediately for a mill and overlay but for future road improvement work. The remainder of the roadway was reconstructed in 2018 by the city as part of the Historic District 3 improvements. Mahtomedi would now be responsible for all snowplowing and maintenance of the turned back roadway, similar to all other city-owned roadways. The legal details and documentation of the turnback action are currently being worked out by the city attorney, city engineers and MnDOT. • Approved change order No. 2 in the amount of $180,126 for the Briarwood Area Improvements Project for additional work relating to poor soil conditions found on Briarwood Avenue, Quail Street and Tamarack Street. • Approved a cooperative agreement with Washington County for the construction costs of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 12 improvements from TH 244 to Glenmar Avenue. The city's estimated cost for participating in this project is $2,145,300. The sanitary sewer and water funds will pay for $200,000 of this project;
a Local Road Improvement Program grant will pay for an additional $600,000, and storm sewer funds and Municipal State Aid (MSA) dollars will pay for the remainder of the cost. • Approved the Wellhead Protection Plan (WHPP) Part 2 implementation. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) requires the city to submit this document, and the city's engineering fi rm, WSB, plans to complete several sections of the implementation plan as budget allows. The city's 2019 water fund budget includes $10,000 for the plan implementation. The city may also receive a $10,000 Minnesota Department of Health grant for this work. The proposal from WSB is not to exceed $11,000 and will be completed in less than one year, Sachi said. Part 1 of the WHPP, delineating wellhead protection areas (WHPA), was completed in 2012. The goal of the WHPP, as mandated by MDH is to protect the aquifers and drinking water by identifying potential hazards to the city's wellheads, to defi ne the area around the city's wells, identify contamination that may enter
the city's wells and aquifer, and help the private and public sectors manage those materials that could enter the wellhead zone. • After acknowledging the completion of the probationary period for two new fi refi ghters/ medics, presided as Mahtomedi Fire Department Chief Terry Fischer swore in the two new fi refi ghter/EMT's. Jakob Kostecki and James Syvertson have spent their fi rst year with the department on probation. “It's nice to have a couple more medics on the fi re department to take the strain off me,” Fischer said. The department now has 21 fi refi ghters/medics/ EMTs. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 8 in the amount of $22,900 to T. A. Schifsky and Sons Inc. for Briarwood Avenue area improvements. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

Students promote mental health awareness MAHTOMEDI MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT STRESS LEVELS
BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
MAHTOMEDI — Two middle school students sent a strong message to classmates during Mental Health Awareness Month that talking about mental health needs is OK. Seventh-graders Grace Newman and Teri Schifsky organized several activities at Mahtomedi Middle School for their Girl Scout Silver Award project. “We really tried to push the point that you are not alone,” Newman told the Mahtomedi School Board at a meeting at the end of March. “It's good to face what you are dealing with and talk about it.” Newman and Schifsky presented short videos each week of February during Zephyr Time. They displayed posters around the school. They created slides with information about various mental health conditions for school TV displays. They created conversation starters for the lunchroom. The student council and other Girl Scouts helped them put 900 Post-it notes with positive messages on student lockers, Schifsky said. They carried out a student survey on mental health during fall semester, and the results were published in the school newspaper during Mental Health Month. Twenty percent of sixth-graders, 40% of seventh-graders and 26% of eighth-graders reported high levels of stress. Students reported their top stressors were academics, being too busy, fear of failure, pressure to be the best and pressure to fit in. Schifsky and Newman started planning for the month last school year, said Principal Mike Neubeck. “They recognized the need for mental health awareness in their school,” he noted. “They did an awesome job.” Outside of school, the students hosted yoga and mindfulness classes at the Washington County Wildwood library, built a display at the library about mental wellness and hosted two after-school classes focused on “happiness” and chillaxing.” The girls chose the topic for their Sil-

ver Award project because they both know people who suffer from mental health conditions, Schifsky said. The goal was to get rid of the negative stigma associated with mental health conditions, help students learn what is normal and when to ask for help, and how to foster mental wellness. The project felt like a success, Newman noted. Students took it seriously, and great conversations happened, she said. Schifsky and Newman will submit a report to the Girl Scout Council in order to receive their Silver Award. “I'm just amazed at all the work you've done,” said school board member Kevin Donovan. The students shared about their project at the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation Legacy Night, which raised $52,000 for student mental wellness this year.

Boyd) 132-minute film that follows two retired Texas Rangers, Francis Augustus Hamer (Kevin Costner) and Benjamin Maney Gault (Woody Harrelson), as they crisscross the states trying to take illusive, notorious gangsters Bonnie Parker (Emily Brobst) and Clyde Barrow (Edward Bossert) in 1934 after they are sanctioned by the Texas governor (Kathy Bates).

— An inspirational, well-acted and star-dotted (Bruce Dern, Connie Britton, Jason Mitchell and Josh Stewart), 96-minute film in which a guilt-ridden inmate (Matthias Schoenaerts), who has an estranged, pregnant teenage daughter (Gideon Adlon), in a Nevada prison for murder finds meaning and redemption in his life when he agrees to participate in a therapy program taming and training wild horses to get them ready for auction.
[CRUDE SEXUAL CONTENT, LANGUAGE AND DRUG REFERENCES THROUGHOUT]
— After the adulterous patriarch (Derek Morgan) dies of a heart attack while in bed with another conquest (Quin Walters) at an Atlanta hotel in this lackluster, sporadically funny, star-dotted (Mike Tyson, Aeriél Miranda, et al.),109-minute comedy, his widow (Jen Harper) quickly decides to bury her husband and the family suddenly must attend a drawn-out funeral rather than celebrating at an anniversary party as tensions arise among family members because of secrets that are not kept close to the vest.

Fun Fact
“SUNSET” (R) — Gorgeous cinematography and costumes highlight this unusual, bleak and well-acted 143-minute, 2018 film in which a withdrawn and tenacious orphaned milliner (Juli Jakab) goes to Budapest in 1913 to secure a position as a hat designer at her family’s once-owned prestigious hat shop now owned by a secretive, well-respected businessman (Vlad Ivanov) who carters to royalty (Susanne Wuest, Julia Jakubowska, et al.) and surprisingly learns that she has an outlaw brother (Marcin Czarnik) who viciously murdered a count and is hell bent on destroying the current shop owner.
WEEKLY AVERAGES
This past weekend looked so promising, days out. Sunny APRIL 10-16, 2019 and 60’s. As the week went on, the forecast got gloomier. High 56° Rain overnight Friday and Saturday turned into fog Saturday Low 35° morning, making for a mystic Strive 5K/5mile run along White Bear Lake. Hats off to those who showed up and in good %Sun 57% numbers. It was interesting watching the fog move in and out PCP 0.65” during the run. Sunday I tried to run between the showers but failed and got soaked in a downpour. Why couldn’t Monday have been our weekend? A major winter storm is forecasted for this week. Will it play out? Aside from that, area ponds are free of ice as the big lakes are holding onto their ice.

found that cranes are now arriving three weeks earlier in the spring than they were 75 years ago. When food is plentiful and weather is mild, this can lead to a very successful breeding season. But earlier arrival may mean that the birds arrive before there is enough food to support their numbers, and intermittent extreme weather events (such as flooding) may destroy food and nests. Though Minnesotans revel in complaints about the ridiculousness of winter weather, the sound of the song of a spring meadowlark might remind them that at least they don’t have to travel 800 miles under their own wing power every year.

that longer days triggered the birds to move. But a study of whooping cranes in 2017 would seem to indicate that the birds’ migratory movements are triggered by temperature. Whooping cranes are one of the most endangered species in the U.S., with only around 800 in existence. Some of these rare, tall white birds can be spotted in the marshes and farm fields of Minnesota and Wisconsin during their spring migration. Nebraska is a central gathering point on their voyage north, and a scientist living in Nebraska began to notice that the cranes’ arrival had become earlier and earlier over the years. She and colleagues analyzed 75 years’ worth of records on whooping crane migration and

patterns related to climate change create stronger headwinds for birds migrating south in the autumn, but buoyant tailwinds for birds heading north in the spring. The tailwinds allow them to conserve energy during flight, which means they arrive at their destination faster and in better shape, potentially increasing their chances of survival. However, early arrival is not necessarily a boon. Warmer springs mean that birds begin their migration earlier, sometimes before food sources at their destination are able to produce as much food as they need to survive. It’s still not fully understood how birds know when to migrate, but for many years it was believed
Whooping cranes, one of the most endangered bird species in the U.S., have increased their window of migration along with warming temperatures, and are arriving in their breeding territories earlier each year.

Song sparrows fill spring days with beautiful melodies as they work their hardest at attracting a mate. Most song sparrows fly south for the winter but remain in North America. Birds with shorter migration flights appear to have higher mortality rates, due to the stresses and challenges of living in areas subject to harsh winter conditions.
Da
There’s a hopeful mood in the air as days begin to get sunnier and birdsong echoes through the air. The springtime tunes of singing robins, sparrows and — in a short while — warblers have a carefree lilt about them, but their journey to our landscape from their wintering grounds has been anything but carefree. Migration takes an enormous toll on birds. A 2018 article in Audubon Magazine reported that more than about a third of birds that fly south for the winter don’t make it through the next spring migration. Mortality seems to be higher for birds that winter in the continental U.S. than for birds that fly to the tropics for winter. The average distance traveled by birds that spent their winters on the U.S. mainland — such as sparrows, loons, hawks and many more — was 860 miles. For birds traveling to the tropics (such as warblers, orioles and tanagers), the average was 1,960 miles. There are a few biological quirks that allow birds to travel such a large distance so quickly. Some migratory birds have amazingly versatile digestive systems. Before migration, their gut increases in size, allowing them to take in more food and nutrients to prepare for the journey ahead. But digestion is an energy-intensive process, and migrating birds already expend an enormous amount of energy by flying such long distances. As a result, their digestive systems are designed to temporarily atrophy, reducing energy use. It takes a little while for the birds to become used to eating normal amounts of food again after their long flight. Changing climate patterns have also affected the ability of birds to recover from their migration and begin the spring business of breeding. The migration window varies from species to species and is carefully timed to correspond to available food sources. A 2018 study from Cornell University found that changing wind
