For sale: Five A boats BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

New marina docks begin to take shape Above: Jason Brown pilots the trusty S.S. Minnow as he, Mike Igo and Ken Johnson carefully guide the first segment of the new marina docks across White Bear Lake Friday, April 7. At right: White Bear Lake Public Works Director/City Engineer Mark Burch helps oversee the process of attaching the first segment of dock slips near the shoreline. Weather permitting, the rest of the dock segments will be installed later this week. The new dock system was purchased from MINNCOR Industries of Bayport, which uses prison inmates for its labor force.

The man responsible for bringing the iconic A boats back to White Bear Lake has decided to sell his fleet. Parting with his beloved sailboats was a tough decision for Fletcher Driscoll, but one he felt he had to make after some friendly persuasion from his doctor, who happens to be his son. In correspondence to the A-boat crews, Driscoll explained that his son Colin, who is chair of the Ear, Nose and Throat Department at Mayo Clinic, advised him to take his health more seriously. Driscoll's wife Beverley also encouraged him to sell the five boats, noting that after all these years, perhaps it's time for other people to

take ownership. “And she is a forceful lady,” admitted Driscoll, who is 84. The Dellwood sailor wants the fleet to remain on the lake he's lived on for 90 percent of his life, so he's offering the scows at a reduced price to hometown sailors. They're a good deal. New, an A scow with trailer and one suit of sails costs about $175,000, according to Driscoll. Melges Boat Works of Zenda, Wisconsin, bought the original molds in 1998 from Johnson Boat Works and is the only company that still builds the majestic 38foot A scow. The boats owned by Driscoll include a 1963 Johnson wood scow named Gryphon ($5,000) and the SEE A BOATS, PAGE 9A

Steve Johnson, with the drill, and Bernie Kruse were part of the volunteer team that worked on the Gryphon’s wooden hull over the winter. The ’63 scow should be under sail by May 20.

It's a wrap; trial concludes for lake level lawsuit BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — A decision is expected midsummer from the judge hearing the lake level lawsuit case. The nearly four-week trial wrapped up March 29 with both sides presenting closing arguments before District Judge Margaret Marrinan. Attorneys for the plaintiff, the White Bear Lake Restoration Association, summed up evidence pointing to conclusions by the Metropolitan Council and U.S. Geo-

logical Survey: White Bear Lake is closely connected to the aquifer below due to its geology and the lake is still not at its long-term average despite record rainfall. Attorney Heather McElroy, with Ciresi Conlin LLP, closed for the plaintiff, avowing that the state of Minnesota has allowed the draining of White Bear Lake. From day one, the restoration association has charged that permitted pumping from high-capacity municipal wells are withdrawing too much water from the Prairie du Chien aquifer, causing the lake to drop. McElroy's clients are seeking a 30 percent reduc-

tion in groundwater pumping by banning lawn sprinkling. The plaintiff contends that USGS studies support the premise that a reduction or cessation of summer pumping for irrigation would approximate 30 percent of residential water use and could cause as much as a 1 foot increase in lake level. The defendant, the Department of Natural Resources, maintained that the lake has rebounded to nearly 923 feet amid heavy rainfall and that fluctuations in SEE LAKE LAWSUIT, PAGE 9A

SCHOOL BRIEFS

Two retiring Frassati Catholic Academy teachers, Jeanne Bennek and Patty Clauson, will be recognized with a special surprise at this year’s Frassati Catholic Academy Gala – Creating Positive Energy! 5 p.m. Saturday,

Sen. Chuck Wiger earmarked funds for a high school transition program in a bill he authored recently in the Legislature. The bill is for $500,000 in fiscal year 2018 for grants to high school transition teams to assist eighth- and ninth-grade students in successfully navigating the transition to high school. The program provides $250,000 for the North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School District, $100,000 for the Mahtomedi District and $150,000 for the White Bear Lake Area District. The funds were included in the Senate E-12 education bill that passed off the Senate floor earlier this month. The bill will now be discussed in a conference committee with the House. The funds would be used assist teachers and parents with mentoring students as they transition to high school.

H2O for Life poster winners announced Awards were presented to Ava Driscoll (first place) and Madeline Goewey (second place) in the annual H2O for Life poster contest this week. Ava won a $50 cash prize and Madeline won a $20 Amazon gift card.

Teachers receive environmental grants The White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation awarded about $11,400 to E3 (Enhancing Environmental Experiences) Grant recipients. The grants provide funding to benefit students and educators in the White Bear Lake Area school district who focus on enhancing outdoor learning experiences. Projects include: • Principal John Leininger, Matoska Elementary – The grant will fund Investigation on the Water, a collaborative project between White Bear Lake Area Schools and Wilderness Inquiry.

Retirement recognitions announced for two Catholic educators

Kindergarten through fifth grades at Frassati Catholic Academy participated in a residency from the Science Museum of Minnesota this month. It was a two-day mystery investigation called “Buster Goes Missing.” Students in each grade level learned about different techniques in forensic science (chemical analysis, clothing fiber analysis, track printing and UV/ blacklight investigation) and then used them to analyze the 16 pieces of evidence that were provided. Each grade level reported its findings to the group and solved the mystery by week’s end. In addition, sixth grade was part of the engineering design process by serving as a test group to pilot a new future program to be used by the Science Museum’s outreach program.

The Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM) is announced Heather Jacobs, a staff member at White Bear Lake Area Schools who works with students on the autism spectrum throughout the district, is one of five winners in the 2017 AuSM Educator Challenge. Educators in Minnesota and surrounding states were invited to share teaching strategies. Jacobs noted that she uses optical illusions, short films and puzzling photos to show how our brain can sometimes "trick" us. As a contest winner, Jacobs will attend and present her strategy during the 22nd annual Minnesota Autism Conference April 28. “I love what I do and am so very thankful to do it in our district,” Jacobs said. “I myself have a child with autism. People often ask me if I got into the ‘field’ because of him. Nope, I was an educator for children with special needs many years before I had my own child, who was identified (with autism).” Jacobs said having a child with autism has made her a better educator. “As a young educator, I remember thinking, why can't these families just implement what we are recommending? As a parent, I know there are only so many hours in the day. There are backpacks and lunch boxes to be unloaded, homework, sight words, spelling words, etc. Plus, outside therapy. Lots of therapy. Then there is sibling ‘therapy jealousy.’” For more information, visit www.ausm.org.

Student news

just love what a handful of students at Pittsburg High School in Kansas uncovered when they were hard at work coming up with stories for the next edition of their monthly school newspaper. One story idea was a profi le on the new principal. As the research began, the students noticed a discrepancy in the new principal’s education background. Although the students were indirectly told to stop snooping around, they stayed on the trail like any good reporters. For weeks they kept asking questions and flushed out what might be the biggest story in their school’s history. Although not all high school Publisher’s newspapers have the rights that our constitution grants, in KanView sas students can’t be censored by Carter Johnson school administration. With the help of their advisor they used traditional journalism techniques to uncover the facts. It also helps that they had the support of their superintendent to carry on with the story. Through the research process, these inquisitive students uncovered that the private university from where the principal said she received her master’s and doctorate degrees was a diploma mill – a place where anyone can buy a degree or diploma. They discovered that the school’s website didn’t work, the Better Business Bureau did not have a physical address, and it was not accredited by the U.S. Department of Education. The students stayed on the story, some even working on it during their spring break. They carried out journalism in the simplest form. Their work led the school administration to acknowledge the discrepancies in the principal’s education and experience. After the story was published, the principal resigned and the student newspaper staff made national headlines. I love the tenacity of the students, their pursuit and persistence of the truth, and their need to seek out information and write with journalistic standards. Most newspapers do not have a “Watergate” type story very often. But every story requires an inquisitive mind and the ability to dig into the important questions. Good reporters communicate the news, document and record facts and keep the community and local governments in check. The truth matters to all of us. Everything we have put our blood sweat and tears into would be lost if corruption is not called out. Journalism is a noble profession that protects our rights granted by our constitution. Subscribers are vital Thank you to our subscribers. I want you to know you are vital to the publication of this product. Reporting the hard truth does not always feel good. People don’t always like that we are the accountability partner for our communities, but you, as a regular reader, know how important it is that the stories get reported.

Tax relief now and for the future

met a man and his wife while I was campaigning last fall. He was a veteran, inventor and entrepreneur who, after he left the service, started a small business designing and building oil pumps out of a shed on his property. He was doing alright for himself — he sold his pumps to the military and to commercial airlines — and he told me he doesn’t mind paying taxbut the current Legislator es, tax climate makes it difficult for him Lingo to be competitive. We designed our Roger Advancing MinChamberlain nesota tax bill, which recently passed the Senate with bipartisan support, with people like him and his wife in mind — the millions of people who get up each day and go to work who desperately need some relief. These Minnesotans drive our economy, and create prosperity and new opportunities for growth. Our tax bill follows the vision I laid out in a column earlier this year — to create a simple, fair, sustainable tax relief bill that strengthens and improves the lives of every citizen in our state. From Main Street to the urban core, from farm to city, every Minnesotan can benefit. Our plan contains the fi rst real rate reduction in 17 years, target-

“Our tax bill follows the vision I laid out in a column earlier this year — to create a simple, fair, sustainable tax relief bill that strengthens and improves the lives of every citizen in our state.” ed to low-and-middle-income taxpayers. It includes help for Main Street business owners, help for schools and teachers, and help for property taxpayers. It stabilizes rural Minnesota, which beneﬁts our agricultural community. There is a second urgent issue we have to consider — planning for the future. There are serious challenges on our horizon. The most critical concern is a massive, fast-approaching shift in our demographic landscape. Baby boomers will drive these changes as they begin retiring in large numbers by 2020. At that time, with an aging population and declining fertility rates, our labor force will grow at an “unprecedented” low rate of only 0.1 percent, according to the state demographer. The combination of retiring baby boomers and a shrinking labor force will put extreme pressures on our economic vitality. We can’t run from these numbers; as the saying goes, “demographics are destiny.” But we can prepare ourselves.

Our tax bill will strengthen our economy and create new opportunities, but will also address these challenges by putting every single student in a position to succeed. We accomplish this with Opportunity Scholarships. Similar to the existing AWARE pre-k scholarship program, Opportunity Scholarships allow low- and middle-income children to attend a school that meets their needs, using privately funded scholarships. No money from the state treasury will be used for this program. Minnesota has the worst achievement gap in the nation, and it has persisted for years; we ignore the plight of these children to our everlasting shame. It is time to give them a ﬁghting chance to succeed. The Senate Republican tax bill advances Minnesota by generating economic activity and preparing us for the future, but more importantly it focuses on empowering citizens to create something for themselves and their families. It’s the beginning of a wholesale change in mindset that puts you and your family ﬁ rst – not the government. We’re taking Minnesota in a new direction that concentrates on shared prosperity, where everyone is treated equally and fairly, so we are ready to face the challenges of the future. Sen. Roger Chamberlain represents District 38 in the Minnesota Senate.

BBB tips on consolidating student loans

ith existing student loan debt surging to well over a trillion dollars, many former students are looking for help managing their debt. One way people do that is by consolidating their existing loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan, which results in a single monthly payment instead of multiple payments to multiple servicers. Though there are deﬁnite advantages to this approach, it may not be for everyone. Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota reminds consumers that there are no application fees for those consolidating federal student loans through the US Department of Education. A lot of companies claim to offer assistance to students as far as consolidating their loans and learning about relief programs they may qualify for – such as Public Service Loan Forgiveness or the Stafford Loan Forgiveness Program. However, many provide services of nebulous value. Some of these companies even ask students to provide their Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID, which puts them at risk of identity theft. FSA IDs should not be

shared with anyone. The US Department of Education offers many tips to individuals with outstanding student loans to help them determine whether loan consolidation is right for Movers and them. From there, BBB offers some additionShakers al tips to consumers Better Business before seeking student loan consolidation Bureau assistance: • If you’re interested in consolidating your existing student loans, contact the Loan Consolidation Information Call Center at 1-800-5577392 or login with your FSA ID at www.studentloans.gov. You don’t need the assistance of any company to consolidate your loans, but you do need to know if you’re eligible to proceed with consolidation. • Research companies and their complaint histories for free at bbb.org. Review complaint details and also customer reviews people have submitted through BBB and on other websites.

• Make sure you understand the offer and be wary of verbal promises. Never agree to anything over the phone. Ask the company to send you their offer in writing. From there, contact your loan servicing company, your school’s fi nancial aid office, the Department of Education, or the Minnesota Office of Higher Education to make sure the offer is legitimate. • Ask what service the company is providing. Some companies say they can offer “relief” for student loan holders. However, all they do – for a fee – is work with your loan servicer to secure a temporary deferment or forbearance. These options are something borrowers can seek for free and, if granted, only delay loan repayment for a specified time. • Also, watch out for: - Outlandish claims, such as companies that say they can easily get your loans forgiven or reduced by as much as 90%. Claims like these are easy to make, but hard to make good on. - Companies that have you make monthly payments to them instead of a federal loan servicer.

- Companies that ask for your FSA IDs, answers to security questions, Social Security Number, or bank account information over the phone. According to the US Department of Education, it is important that people seeking to consolidate their loans continue to make payments, if required, to the holders or servicers of the loans they want to consolidate until their consolidation servicer informs them that the underlying loans have been paid off. Once loans are combined into a Direct Consolidation Loan, they cannot be removed. The previous loans are paid off and no longer exist. If borrowers feel they have been misled by a company offering assistance consolidating their student loans, they should ﬁ le complaints at bbb.org, their state Attorney General’s ofﬁce and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at consumerprotection.gov. The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota can be contacted at bbb.org or 651-699-1111.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Ramsey County, please open our beach What’s it going to take to get Ramsey Beach open on White Bear Lake? Ramsey County says the beach cannot be opened until the lake hits 924 feet. If we look at the water level of White Bear Lake from 1924 to current, roughly two-thirds of the time it is under 924 feet. Ramsey County says it won’t open because of a safety issue, yet five other beaches on the lake are open. I have asked if it can be dredged to make it safer and the DNR says no. I have asked if Ramsey County doesn’t want to operate it as it is a liability. If that’s true, then give the beach to the city of White Bear Lake and let them operate it. Bellaire Beach is owned by White Bear Township and is now operated by the YMCA. What if we just opened it with no lifeguards on duty? Swim at your own risk. Since I was a child, we always met people at Ramsey Beach to swim at whatever water level. Have you noticed they have taken the word “Beach” down and it is now called White Bear Lake County Park? In July 2016, the White Bear Lake Conservation District passed a resolution supporting reopening Ramsey Beach. It is time for our community to get involved and help reopen our public beach. Please reach out to our local officials in support: County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt – 651-2668363 or Victoria.Reinhardt@co.ramsey.mn.us Jon Oyanagi, Director Ramsey Parks and Recreation – 651-748-2500 or jon.oyanagi@co.ramsey.mn.us White Bear Lake Conservation District Board – 651429-8520 or info@wblcd.org We need everyone’s help to get our beach reopened. Please reach out to your elected officials and let them know you want the beach open. Feel free to call me with any suggestions or anything that I can do at 651-429-5393.

No representation for half the citizens in 4th district Republicans in Minnesota's 4th Congressional District have no representation at the federal level. Congresswoman Betty McCollum (D) and Sens. Al Franken (D) and Amy Klobuchar (D) usually ignore emails offering opposing viewpoints or respond with form letters parroting the Democrat party's position, while snubbing our conservative ideas. Rep. McCollum routinely holds town hall meetings. However, Republican attendees at these events rarely have their questions read aloud and answered. When they do ask a question, they are shouted down and treated rudely by McCollum and those in attendance. Al Franken's weekly emails including the one last week routinely denigrate the president and conservatives and call for open resistance to Trump's policies . Elections have consequences and the voting majority elected our current representatives. However, Betty, Amy and Al are public servants and have a responsibility to serve all of their constituents, not just those who think like they do. Scott Nintzel White Bear Township

There are better options than another supermarket When it comes to the latest development plans for the Hwy. 96/Centerville Road intersection, business-as-usual just doesn’t cut it. The cities of White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights, North Oaks and White Bear Township appear to view this area only as far as their own borders, and not from the perspective of people who live, work, and pass through this area every day. The city of White Bear Lake’s failure to even work through traffic issues with Ramsey County before approving the project is an example of this lack of collaboration. Other readers have already pointed out the many other grocers already serving this area. Located just yards away from each other, the odds that either Cub or Hy-Vee will not survive are good. Then what happens? Either the city of White Bear Lake or White Bear Township will be left with a loss in tax revenue, as well as an empty big box. Such stores are typically hard to find tenants for, costly for developers to redevelop, and as a result often sit vacant for years. Why not instead focus on the real needs of local residents, who might benefit more from something like a community center, library satellite, park, and/ or a range of smaller, locally-owned businesses? Rather than creating an island of seniors walled in by traffic, why not plan for safe and attractive pedestrian and bike corridors that promote access for everyone to all four corners of the intersection, and road design that reduces the risk for motor vehicle crashes? It’s not too late to begin to envision and execute a plan for this area that truly serves the needs of the local communities and does not put our safety and tax dollars at risk. We can do much better. Amy Okaya White Bear Township

Patriotism proudly displayed In the April 5 issue, I was glad to see the “Spotted Around Town” picture of the Frassati Catholic Academy sixth-graders proudly displaying the new American flag that was so generously donated by the White Bear Lake VFW Post 1782 (plus, they even offered to properly dispose of the old flag). Past VFW Post Auxiliary President Joan Mample arranged to get the new flag, and both she and Past VFW Post Commander Dan Campanaro attended the flag raising ceremony, which was very gracious of them both. The White Bear Lake VFW has a fun, generous spirit with wonderful members, past and present. Thank you, VFW, and may God bless America. Cathy Evans White Bear Lake

Sniffing old bottles helps craving Dealing with multiple chemical sensitivities and endless food allergies is complicated. Since I cannot drink any liquor, I opened my 40-year-old bottle of Crème de Menthe, then inhaled. It was so refreshing. Then later on I sniffed old bottles of rum, Crème de Cacao and Scotch; it was so energizing and refreshing, and the bottles will last another 40 years. So folks who crave liquor 24/7, try it. It shouldn’t affect your driving and eliminates drunk driving. Check out a 2001 book “Detoxify or Die” by Dr. Sherry A. Rogers (environmental medicine), page 197. She advises “Alcoholism is a biochemical disease, not a lack of

willpower. Curing it requires (1) correcting fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and orphan nutrients plus (2) removing toxic residues of drugs, alcohol and other chemicals that damage normal function of brain chemistry responsible for pleasure sensation. This could put Alcoholics Anonynmous out of business. Jo Haus Birchwood

Mis-directed energy in Grant In observing Grant City Council meetings for some time now, it is a wonder that the conscientious members of the council can accomplish anything. There is absolutely no excuse why some members of this esteemed group should be using showmanship, diatribes and threadbare, worn-out stories that lie by omission. Lying by omission is a far greater problem than an out-and-out lie. Why? Because it leaves the impression with most people that the story is on the up and up. Out-and-out lies can be deciphered, or they rise to the surface eventually. It seems to me that this approach to behavior at council meetings is for the purpose of aggrandizing themselves, and it has no place whatsoever in this governance. If it is their wish to follow Shakespeare and “strut and fret their hour upon the stage” it needs to be done under another forum. These same council members have tried to portray that the rest of the council members are wasting money, but the real waste of money comes from keeping the council from staying on track and doing its business in a timely manner. It takes much longer for minds to solve problems correctly when the scent of the trail is being camouflaged continuously. As a taxpayer in this city for 40 years, I am tired of doling out money for self aggrandizement and general diarrhea of the mouth. Jim Drost Grant

Look up the word ‘creature’ We choose how we look at nature. The April 5 article “Little creatures create big problem in local lakes” seems determined to judge it according to its inconvenience. Alternatives include a nice Wikipedia article about muskrats and a Nature365 video (April 2) showing a muskrat living its part in the “Big Woods Awakening”. The city of White Bear Lake doesn’t limit the use of cage or colony traps for muskrat trapping, and it still allows more dangerous traps as necessary in response to wildlife management concerns (Municipal Code 702.044). It leaves the choice up to us, how we choose to look at nature. Trapping doesn’t solve all our problems. We need to be safe in the outdoors, with mosquito repellent, clothing and tips to avoid ticks, and common sense to keep our distance from wildlife. The same goes for our pets, plus vaccinations. It would be foolish to trust that everything will be all right “as long as trappers are out” — and trying to sell their higher-grade pelts for gas money. We can and do appreciate muskrats and their place in nature. We watch them nibble on vegetation, and see the resulting, cropped cattails as a positive. We riprap sensitive shorelines and fill in collapsed burrows. We look up the word “creatures,” (in the dictionary, the encyclopedia, the Bible) and see how much more nature is than an inconvenience.

Words were exchanged and the 48-year-old man chased the 56-year-old man home, after threatening to kill him. • A gang of four shoplifters working their craft at Wal-Mart the evening of March 31 were nabbed in the act. Two 15-year-old girls, a 17-year-old girl and Mom were involved. The mother of one of the 15-year-olds, age 36, was acting as the lookout. She was cited for theft and released. The teens were informed they would be petitioned into juvenile court on theft charges. Stolen merchandise in the amount of $81 was recovered. • A homeless woman, collared by WalMart asset protection employees March

An investigation continues. • Recent hires at a wood products firm on Labore Road almost pulled off a

robbery April 3 but poor driving by one did them in. A 24-year-old man from St. Paul, on his first day on the job, grabbed $375 poking out of the pocket of another employee who had just returned from an ATM, and headed for the door. The victim called 911 and gave chase. The robber planned to meet up at the front gate with a co-worker who was just finishing his first week on the job, but that accomplice, also 24 and from St. Paul, crashed his car in the parking lot. Meanwhile, a county traffic deputy alerted by the 911 call appeared on the scene and apprehended the two men. The partners in crime were booked into jail on felony aggravated robbery charges.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • Employees followed a shoplifter through the aisles at Cub Foods on Meadowlands Drive the afternoon of March 31 as she selected approximately $200 worth of items, then bypassed the checkout lane. Identifying the 45-yearold St. Paul woman was fairly easy as her name was on the back of her jacket. The suspect was mailed an arrest citation for theft. • Deputies investigating reports of a domestic disturbance on Fenway Court the evening of April 2 found a 37-yearold woman locked out of her boyfriend’s house. The woman, who complained of injuries, was taken to jail by way of Regions Hospital. The boyfriend,

42, arrested for violating an order for protection by having her present at his place to begin with, was jailed for violating the OFP and on warrants for his arrest. • The human resources manager of a local manufacturing firm reported harassing messages left on her home voicemail April 2 from “an employee scheduled to be fired the next morning.” Checking the messages revealed no direct threats, so the sender was not charged. • Following a tip on a stolen car located near a problem address on Elk Street April 4, deputies stopped the vehicle occupied by four individuals. The driver, a 22-year-old St. Paul woman, was charged with felony possession of stolen property; a 35-year-old St. Paul woman was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance (a meth pipe with residue); and two people out of White Bear Lake, a 26-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man, remain under investigation. • A 42-year-old man walking around inside a gas station in the 5900 block of Hwy. 61 the morning of April 4 was seen eating a doughnut he hadn’t paid for and heard claiming he was the mayor of White Bear Township (he isn’t). He was charged with disorderly conduct and trespassed from the property.

Man arrested in White Bear Lake burglary has longstanding crime record BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A man charged with burglary last week has over a dozen prior crimes to his name, including theft of a vehicle, property damage, drug crimes and domestic assault. Tyler James Roers, 25, of Mounds View, was charged with first-degree burglary after he allegedly burglarized an occupied Tyler James house in the 2100 block of County Road E Roers near McKnight Road at about 9 a.m. April 3, according to a complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court. A neighbor witnessed a man in a dark hooded sweatshirt going in her neighbor's garage and called the White Bear Lake Police Department, according to the complaint. She told the police where she had seen the suspect walk away after he started pounding on her windows, she said. Police found the suspect as described and he, Roers,

was arrested, according to the complaint. The garage was open and two vehicle doors were ajar. A man in the house during the time of the burglary reported he had left his garage door open but the vehicle doors were closed. Nothing was missing from the vehicles, he said, but they had clearly been rummaged through, according to the complaint. In a later interview with law enforcement, Roers reportedly admitted he entered the garage and looked in the vehicles to find something of value to steal, according to the complaint. He also said he ran away when the neighbor saw him. The White Bear Lake Police Department stated the neighbor who called in the suspicious activity was an example of how community and the police can work together to solve a crime. Roers has over a dozen prior crime convictions, according to court records. Since 2010, Roers has been convicted of underage drinking, disorderly conduct, driving without a valid license, domestic assault, theft, property damage and drug crimes. Two are felonies — theft of a vehicle and fifth-degree drug crimes.

Scam impersonating Sheriff’s Office is targeting senior citizens The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office has recently received numerous calls from people responding to a telephone scam telling them to send money to the Sheriff’s Office using gift cards to pay fi nes or bail for a grandchild. Sheriff Jack Serier reminds everyone that the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office does not call people and ask for gift cards, for any reason, ever. Two scams are currently very active and both appear to be targeting elderly persons. The “jury duty scam” has the thief calling people and telling them that they didn’t appear for their jury duty and are at risk of a misdemeanor crime and penalty. The scammer then tells them they can stay out of jail by purchasing gift cards and calling the scammer back with the code numbers. The “grandchild in jail scam” has the thief calling people, pretending to be a grandchild who is in trouble and needs money to get out of jail. The thief will say the bail or fine can be paid with a gift card. If anyone requests gift cards for any law enforcement related reason it is a scam. If contacted, hang up, write down the information of the person contacting you, and call 9-1-1 to report the crime. More information about current scams and frauds is available at ftc.gov.

Ambulance driver saves sleeping man from fire A garage fire in the 1800 block of Cedar Avenue was spotted about noon April 6 by an ambulance crew member who happened to be driving by and noticed flames coming from the garage, said White Bear Lake Police Chief Julie Swanson. The emergency responder alerted the dispatch center and evacuated the homeowner, who had been asleep, from the house. “He was unaware of the fire,” Swanson said. The fire department and other responding departments were able to keep the fire from spreading to the house. The fire appears to have begun in a car and its cause is under investigation.

Pipeline: Vadnais Lake might share water with White Bear Lake BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — An engineer presented a possible route of a potential water pipeline between Vadnais Lake and White Bear Lake at a recent City Council workshop meeting. The draft by SEH was preliminary, as the augmentation has not been approved, according to SEH engineer Chris Larson. The 2016 Legacy Bill about the potential White Bear Lake augmentation gave money for three design-build proposals. SEH was the only one who bid. The potential project includes a filtration building on the southeast shore of Lake Vadnais near Vadnais Boulevard, close to its intersection with Edgerton Street, according to city documents. The buried pipeline would then be constructed along Centerville Road past the old Garceau Hardware site and Vadnais Heights Elementary. It would continue under I-35E in a tunnel along railroad tracks near Goose Lake Road. It would then continue to the southwest shore of White Bear Lake. New walking paths could potentially

be part of the project if the city desired, Larson added. The potential pipeline would likely be similar to city water pipelines made out of PVC, Larson said. The filtration system would prevent zebra mussels from getting into White Bear Lake from Vadnais Lake, Larson added. The “backwash sludge” from the filtration system cleaning process could potentially be put into a sewer system instead of back into the lake, he said. More water quality sampling would need to be performed to determine whether a phosphorus filter is needed, he noted. Vadnais Heights is to be consulted in all aspects of the potential augmentation, according to the Legacy Bill. The city would also not be required to contribute financially. The White Bear Lake Restoration Association (WBLRA) and intervenor Lake Homeowners Association are currently in a legal battle about the lake level issue with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and intervenors city of White Bear Lake and White Bear Township. WBLRA alleges the DNR has let the lake slip below natural levels while the DNR argues the lake is lower due to

natural cycles and has set a protective lake level below what the WBLRA would like to see. The pipeline could pump 2 billion gallons into White Bear Lake in eight

months, Larson said. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@ presspubs.com.

Ice castle plans solidifying as cities prepare for Super Bowl BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — One resident who describes herself as a “lover of young children” is excited about the city's plans for a family-friendly ice castle in the city during the Super Bowl. Marty Welch owns Children's Discovery Academy, close to the site of the proposed ice castle behind the Helene Houle Medical Center. Welch is on the activity committee for the “Northern Lights and Ice Festival,” which includes the ice castle and winter activities Jan. 25 to Feb. 5, 2018. The specific activities are yet to be determined, Welch said, but ideas include a sledding hill, ice skating rink, ice maze, ice sculptures, polar plunge, snow football, snowmobile rides, hot air balloons, an entertainment tent, and a DJ event for children. Welch, who has worked in the child care industry for about 30 years, said she has been brainstorming the connections she has for fun children's activities. “The sky is the limit at this point,” she said. The Ice Festival is also planning an ice hotel room for overnight stays. Perkins manager Kristin Olson is also on the activity committee and said she plans to promote the castle in their restaurant, which is by the proposed site. She said the ice castle should bring business to the restaurant as well. “I think it is going to be amazing for us to have the ice castle,” she said. The festival is proposed on three empty lots near County Road E and I-35E. Mayor Bob Fletcher said the festival has verbal agreements with the three property owners but parties are still in final negotiations. If a potential developer for those sites comes through before winter, the city has a backup site behind Summit Orthopedics near Wal-Mart. The city is tying up a lawsuit over a street assessment

with one of the property owners near County Road E, so negotiations have been “awkward,” Fletcher said. Gerry Urban, chair of the site committee, has been instrumental building a relationship with him, he added. The ice castle's slogan is “Find your Minnesota Nice – in Vadnais Ice.” The castle will be made out of traditional ice blocks and will be about 50 feet tall. It will be lit up and each day will have a Minnesota-related theme, including hunting and fishing, farming, 10,000 lakes, arts, diversity, medicine, education, innovation and nonprofits. The palace's architect is Bill Rust, who designed St. Paul Winter Carnival ice palaces, including the world-record 1992 palace and a 2004 palace for the NHL All-Star Game. The palace's lighting specialist will be Steve Frattalone, who was the lighting specialist on the 1992 palace. Consultant Tom Keller also worked on the 1986 and 1992 ice castles. Fletcher, who proposed the idea of the ice castle to the public the day after he was elected last November, also worked on the ice castles in St. Paul in 1986 and 1992 when he worked in law enforcement.

Seeking media attention, visibility Members of the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC) took on the ice castle idea because it would make the city more visible, Welch explained. The city is often confused with other metro cities, but people always know where it is when they mention it is next to White Bear Lake, she added. The VHEDC wants to “put Vadnais on the map,” she said. Fletcher has cited getting Vadnais Heights national media attention and increasing business during the Super Bowl as reasons for the city ice castle. Kevin Whelan, president of Peoples Bank Midwest and VHEDC, is on the sponsorship committee for the ice castle. He is excited to be part of giving back to the community by volunteering for the ice castle and providing an experience for families during the Super

Bowl. “There will be 1 million people from out of town with nothing to do,” he said. The committee plans to find a large company to be a naming sponsor of the ice castle, Whelan said. “We probably would go for a company with national customers, because we expect to get international media attention,” he said. There will also be various other types of sponsorship available. The castle will cost about half a million dollars and is expected to be fully donor-sponsored. Blocks will be sold for $20 each to local residents or businesses and the buyer will get free admission, Whelan added. The castle is expected to have about 3,000 blocks; the maze, about 1,000. The Ice Festival has predicted more than 300,000 people could visit the castle during Super Bowl week, based on past St. Paul ice festivals and the media attention around Super Bowl week. The city of Vadnais Heights and VHEDC need hundreds of volunteers to make the magical event happen, according to its website. The ice castle will be a free event. About 100 people attended volunteer information meetings last week, Fletcher said. At the meeting, some residents expressed interest in volunteering while others expressed concerns about the castle — cleanup and competition with the St. Paul Winter Carnival among them. “The meeting was awesome,” Fletcher said. “It was all good.” About six new volunteers expressed an interest in putting time and energy into the ice castle and many other residents were there to hear more about it, he noted.

elevation are normal. The city of White Bear Lake, an intervenor on the side of the defense, was represented by Greene Espel attorney Monte Mills, who provided a statement to the Press. “The city believes that facts entered into evidence during the trial support the defense,” Mills said. “As of March 27, 2017, the lake level was at 922.99 feet, which is less than 2 inches from the lake’s historical average level of 923.13 feet. Data from observation wells show that the aquifer is currently at a higher level than it was in the early 2000s. The area experienced a drought in the years when the lake’s water levels declined; additionally, warmer temperatures led to several periods since 2003 where evaporation exceeded precipitation.” Mills pointed out that lakes such as North Center Lake and North

Lindstrom Lake, which are far away from high-capacity wells that withdraw groundwater, experienced declines in their water levels similar to White Bear Lake. “The evidence shows that climate caused the lake’s low water level,” Mills maintained. “Municipal groundwater pumping has declined since the early 2000s, when the lake had high water levels and groundwater pumping was greater than it is now. Given these facts, the Court should be reluctant to interfere with the DNR’s administrative process and work on the North and East Metropolitan Groundwater Management Area.” When asked if he expected the case to go to appeal, City Attorney Roger Jensen replied, “it depends.” “If the city isn't hurt by the judge's decision, I don't think we would appeal,” Jensen said. “I do think the DNR has concerns about its jurisdiction and separation of powers.

He emphasized that in addition to violation of the Minnesota Environmental Rights Act, the DNR was in violation of the Public Trust Doctrine. This is the common law rule that the state holds public waters in trust for the benefit of all citizens. “Here the DNR breached its trustee duties by not taking affi r-

mative action to protect the natural resource that is White Bear Lake,” explained plaintiff attorney Dick Allyn, with Robins Kaplan LLC. “Even with record rains and even though virtually all other lakes in the area are full, White Bear Lake is still below its long-term average level.” All parties must submit proposed fi ndings by May 15 to Judge Marrinan, who then has up to 90 days to issue an order for judgment. Since she is retiring in August, Allyn said he would be surprised if a decision isn't issued by mid-July.

A BOATS: Owner wants fleet to stay on White Bear Lake FROM PAGE 1A

last A boat built at White Bear's Johnson Boat Works; a ’66 wooden Melges named Firenze ($5,000); a ’95 fiberglass Melges named Snitch ($27,000); a ’96 fiberglass Melges named Hedwig ($25,000) and the newest, a 2001 fiberglass custom Robinson named Dumbledore ($36,000). At least two of the boats appear to be spoken for by crew members. The quoted prices are for owners who promise to keep the scows on White Bear Lake. The price jumps an additional $3,000 to $6,000 for off-lake purchasers. Each A boat comes with a custom high-quality lift, trailer and all the gear for racing, including multiple mains, jibs, spinnakers, summer covers, winter tarps and all lines, Driscoll said. Major restoration work has been done on Firenze and Gryphon over the past few years thanks to the efforts of Steve Johnson, Ben Nicholson, Steve Wiberg, John Taylor, Mark Duvall, Tim Black, Jeff Schafer and others. The wooden boats require more TLC, but Driscoll feels they have more character than the fiberglass models. Harry Potter fans will notice the sailboats are all named for characters in the book. “I did that because I want young kids to identify with our boats,” Driscoll said. “They are big and intimidating, so I want younger sailors to see the Harry Potter names.” When racing season starts the fi rst Monday evening in June, a total of 11 A scows will grace the lake. It's the biggest fleet anywhere, Driscoll said. He bought the fi rst one (Snitch) in 2000 and by 2004, had two more to hold the fi rst race. His goal, Driscoll emphasized, is to keep the boats here. “They are a bargain,” he stated. Dock space will continue to be provided by

Driscoll for the fleet. He also has a heated shop equipped with many A-boat parts and at least a half dozen volunteers who contribute their time to restoration projects. Although the octogenarian doesn't race anymore, Driscoll said watching the A boats gives him great joy. He thanked the people who are racing his boats for their part in the fleet's success. Anyone wishing more information can email Driscoll at fdriscoll@fdriscollassoc.com.

1992 The announcement by Dick and Jim See that they would close their Coast to Coast Store in downtown White Bear sent shock waves through the community last week. “The economy and one-stop stores have been our biggest problems in the last few years,” said Jim See, the store’s business manager. He said “fierce competition” has made it “tougher and tougher” for small stores to stay in business. ..Ted Cunio, who has been superintendent of White Bear Lake

Honda dealership celebrates awards Buerkle Honda of White Bear Lake is celebrating three major awards for 2016 that place it among the top Honda dealerships in the nation for customer service, quality and environmental leadership. The family-owned dealership earned the Presi-

dent’s Award for excellence in sales performance, sales experience, service performance and business operations in the same year as the Council of Parts and Service Professionals and Honda’s Environmental Leadership - Silver Award. Only top-performing Honda dealerships receive the President's Award, according to a press release from Buerkle Automotive Group. “Buerkle has always been known for taking care of customers,” says Raina Suominen, marketing manager. “We still have many customers from years ago who come back and remember us as Buerkle Buick, because their memories of the customer service stayed with them. We still work to provide that same level of service.” Buerkle Honda also earned the Silver Award in Environmental Leadership from American

Honda, an award earned by less than 10 percent of Honda's network of over 1,000 U.S. dealerships. Buerkle Honda is owned and operated by Mary Buerkle and David Buerkle, the daughter and son of the founder of the Buerkle dealership group.

Golf club receives award North Oaks Golf Club has been awarded the Distinguished Emerald Club of the World award. The award is given by BoardRoom magazine, a trade publication serving private clubs. Only two other clubs in Minnesota have been presented the award, according to an announcement from the golf club. Established in 1950, the private club is managed by Joel Livingood.

Pair of Bear teens make USA’s deaf hockey team, savor ‘common bond’ with peers BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

KRISTIN DANIELS | SUBMITTED

Tehya Daniels, Olivia Jagoe and Annelise Daniels at the national team tryouts. Annalise, 12, didn’t make it this time.

to watch the AHIHA games,” Tehya said about the 77-year-old Chicago Blackhawks great. “I am grateful for all he has done.” Bears coach Jerry Kwapick is familiar with both girls, who are likely to play for him eventually. Jagoe, he said, is “a crafty forward with good hands,” and has a good chance to play next year with three forwards graduating. Tehya’s sister Annelise, 12, also a hearing-impaired hockey player, tried out for the USA team and didn’t make it, but probably has a good chance next time around in two years. Annelise also delivers a weekly newspaper route for the White Bear Press. Tehya and Annelise’s grandfather and uncle were hockey players,

Tehya said. Jagoe’s father and both grandfathers played hockey “so they’ve helped coach me along the way,” she said. The girls’ parents are most appreciative for this opportunity. “They are always in an in-between world; when their (hearing) devices are off, they are deaf,” said Kristin Daniels. “It’s always a challenge. They can’t hear somebody skating up to them, or teammates calling across the ice. “In deaf hockey, they focus on leveling the playing field. Strobe lights go on and off for a visual cue …. The sense of camaraderie there is insane. You see old friends and meet new friends, and we all share experiences. Our kids love hockey and are pretty dang good.”

For hearing-impaired hockey players, awkward moments are inevitable. “How foolish I look, when I keep playing even after the ref blows the whistle,” mentioned Tehya Daniels, citing one example, as a player with no hearing. “To (try) hear the coaches when I’m on the ice,” adds Olivia Jagoe, who has some hearing in one ear. “Or if a referee tries to talk to me on the side where I have no hearing.” The White Bear Lake teenagers stress that such episodes do not diminish their love of hockey, which they’ve played since kindergarten. But both are thrilled to have a chance to skate for the fi rst US Women’s National Ice Hockey Team as they expressed in e-mail interviews with the Press. “It means everything,” declared Daniels. “Playing with this group of girls, there is such respect for each other,” Jagoe explained. “Everyone is so nice. On this team, none of the girls are different, and we share that common bond. I’m so happy to have made the team.” Jagoe, 16, sophomore defenseman on the Bears’ junior varsity, and Daniels, 15, a freshman forward on the U15 team, made the team recently in tryouts at Amherst, New York. The 17 players, including five Minnesotans, range in age from 13 to 29. The USA will duel Canada on April 22 and 23 in Amherst. The men will play the following weekend. There’s been men’s hockey in the Deaflympics for many years. Women’s competition will possibly be added in the 2019 Deaflympic Games if two more countries field

teams. The coach, Jackie MacMillan of Duluth, who is not deaf, does a great job communicating, said Daniels, allowing her to shed inhibitions. “When I play with these kids, I am always one of the fi rst in line for a new drill. On my hearing team, I am the last, because I am unsure of the drill and cannot hear instructions very well. The deaf team understands my struggles.” The whistle problem, also, is addressed in deaf hockey. Flashing strobe lights let skaters know that play has halted. Daniels, who had nine goals and nine assists on the 15U “A” team this year, was asked to elaborate on being a deaf player on a hearing team. “I cannot always hear instructions for drills,” she stated. “I miss out on some of the social stuff in the locker room. While on the ice, actively playing, I cannot hear my coaches yelling instructions. Sometimes it is hard to communicate with teammates on the ice.” She made sure to add: “Through all of this, I am able to play and enjoy the sport that I love.” The deaf national teams are under the jurisdiction of American Hearing Impaired Hockey Association, which holds a camp each June in Chicago, free of charge to hearing-impaired kids, with world-class players helping out, along with the Blackhawks skating coach, Kevin Delaney. The Daniels girls have been attending the camp the last three years. AHIHA was formed in 1973 by Stan Mikita, the NHL Hall of Famer, in association with his close friend, a businessman named Irv Tiahnybik, who had a deaf son struggling to play hockey. “I met him once (when) he came

Catch of the Week Nichelle Gabbard caught her first muskie on Bald Eagle Lake Sunday, April 9. She was fishing for pan fish with small hooks and nightcrawlers with husband Willie. “While reeling in a bluegill, the musky inhaled my catch and managed to get hooked,” she said. “It was very exciting.”

White Bear Lake won seven events — three by jumper Eric Servatius — and both team titles in an indoor track meet at Wisconsin-Stout on Friday. Servatius, a sophomore, won high jump (6-4), triple jump (41-6 ) and long jump (19-10).

Area lawmakers begin push for lake links trail BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Pending legislation would provide $233,000 for four segments of multi-use trail around the city's namesake lake. Bills in the Senate and House, SF1231 and HF1546, have earmarked $50,000 for preliminary engineering and cost estimates for 370 feet of South Shore Boulevard; $15,000 for 2100 feet in the Birchwood Road area; $38,000 for 3.5 miles of Highway 244 and $130,000 for partial construction of the Old White Bear Avenue (Lions Park Trail) segment in 2017. It's seed money to get the momentum going for a project estimated to cost a total of $5 million. Funding for the projects will be appropriated from bond proceeds to either the Commissioner of Transportation or the Commissioner of Employment and Economic Development. One of the bill authors, Sen. Chuck Wiger (D-District 43), called a meeting at City Hall March 27 to discuss pending routes and right of way. Cost estimates and a timeline for the four segments was provided as representatives of the five communities around the lake, Washington and Ramsey County and MnDOT representatives provided input on their respective segments. All communities but Dellwood have passed resolutions of support for the lake link. A member of the Dellwood City Council, Jim Cuff, told the group he would be bringing a resolution of support forward at their April 11 meeting, but couldn't guarantee three votes among the five-member council. It is the section of road through Dellwood that the man spearheading the trail calls the most dangerous stretch. Steve Wolgamot, a Mahtomedi resident, is working hard to identify right of way for a trail through Dellwood, one of the stumbling blocks to making that segment a reality.

INFO BOX When Wh the th lake l k links li k routes t are completed, l t d the th 10 miles il of trails around White Bear Lake will be broken down as follows: • 67% asphalt trails separated from traffic • 14% marked routes on low-traffic residential streets • 12% paths separated from roads and in parks • 7% other - shoulder of Hwy. 96

Cuff recalled an accident in 1994 behind his house on Highway 96. A woman on a bicycle was killed. "It was very traumatic for me," said the Dellwood deputy mayor, who added his daughter is an avid bicyclist who commutes to work on two wheels. Cuff also shared a letter from the Willernie American Legion encouraging Dellwood's support. "Thirty disabled veterans are potential users of this trail," wrote Legion members. "Tragic accidents lead us to action," said Wiger who maintains the trail link initiative has “really caught fire.” "There seems to be a great deal of support expressed at various government levels so that's positive," Wiger added. The senator said he will continue to strategize for potential sources of funding while coalition members gather consensus among communities. "In terms of specific dollar allocations, that hasn't happened yet," Wiger noted. "We are refining our proposals. After spring break, we go into conference committee on budget bills and the bonding bill starts getting keyed up. The main thing is to continue the grassroots enthusiasm and work at the local level. I'm optimistic about the progress being made.” The goal is to complete the 10-mile trail by end of 2020 and before the 20-year anniversary of the Lake Links Study.

Rectory finds new purpose

DEBRA NEUTKENS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

St. Andrew’s Lutheran church is converting an old rectory in Hugo to a family shelter.

HUGO — The vacant rectory next to St. John the Baptist Church will become a shelter for homeless families. St. Andrew's Church in Mahtomedi will operate the new family shelter as part of its Community Resource Center (CRC) initiative. The CRC is a local mission at St. Andrew's that, according to the church website, “seeks to transform lives through Christ's love by equipping families and individuals with resources that lead to housing stability.” Executive Director Liz Schreier said the center received 21 calls alone last year from families in Forest Lake and Hugo who were experiencing homelessness. The St. Andrew's CRC currently shelters seven to 10 families each week at its Oakdale location. “We will extend our reach to serve our neighbors in the northern end of Washington County with our new

shelter at St. Genevieve Catholic Church in Hugo,” Schreier noted. The rectory was no longer used after St. John's parish merged with St. Genevieve in Centerville five years ago. The facility, named the St. Andrew's Family Shelter, requires renovations before it is occupied but will be able to house five families in need for overnight stays. “That is five more families who will get assistance to rebuild their lives and sleep in a warm house with running water. Five more families that will be transformed and shown love by our community in their time of need,” Schreier said. A tour of the future shelter in its pre-construction phase is planned 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, April 30. No RSVP is required. The tour begins at St. Andrew’s Mahtomedi. Debra Neutkens

Mahtomedi removes all doubt about vacated street City vacates a portion of Bryant Avenue, removing public access to Long Lake BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — With a buildable lot at stake for a property owner on Bryant Avenue, no one knew whether the 1908 Order of Vacation by the city of the easterly portion of the street was an effective vacation, due to ambiguous language in the documents. An attempt by the 1993 Mahtomedi City Council to vacate the property, in case it wasn't already vacated, backfi red, because no legal documents accompanied the action from the council at the time. Therefore, after a public hearing, the 2017 Mahtomedi City Council stayed out of court and settled the issue once and for all at its April 4 meeting by unanimously passing a

resolution to vacate the part of Bryant Avenue in question. The action required a four-fi fths majority vote. The action also seemed like the obvious choice. However, City Attorney Jay Karlovich told council and the two dozen residents from the north Long Lake neighborhood attending the meeting that the issue was actually quite complicated. “Bryant Avenue was part of the Wildwood plat that included 150 blocks and is the most congested plat I've ever seen,” he said. “Quite a few blocks were vacated in the early 1900s.” However, language in the documents remains ambiguous as to whether the city actually vacated its right of way along a portion of Bryant Avenue in 1908, Karlovich said. A 1993 letter to the north Long

Lake residents and property owners from City Administrator John Olinger affi rmed the city's earlier abandonment of Bryant Avenue. However, no legal documents appear to have been registered with Washington County and, for all the county knows, the easterly portion of Bryant Avenue still belongs to the city. Meanwhile, the city has been maintaining the lots that were supposed to have been vacated. For years, Mahtomedi has had a sanitary sewer lift station, bituminous pavement, gravel surface, a fi re hydrant that supplies water, underground utilities and a water main. The Public Works Department has even said that a gravel portion of roadway has been maintained by the city. These activities don't suggest that the city had given up the property. Yet if the property had been vacated, the city has been trespassing all this time. The issue came about in the spring of 2016, when the owner of 1502 Bryant Ave., located on the southeast side of Bryant Avenue ad-

jacent to Long Lake, asked the city planner to determine if her adjacent vacant 50-foot-wide lot was a buildable lot and could be subdivided. Two adjacent neighbors have alleged that the Bryant Avenue right of way was vacated according to the 1908 judicial order, which followed vacation statutes of the time. At stake is whether the property owner can build on the lot in question or whether that piece of property is the only public access to north Long Lake, which would be lost forever if vacated. On the other hand, if the city didn't vacate the property, lawyers for the property owner suggested that the city would very quickly fi nd itself in court. The city voted to vacate its rights to Bryant Avenue. “What's disturbing to me is that Washington County has no record of (the 1993 vacation action),” Councilman Joel Schilling said. “Someone dropped the ball then; we'll make sure the county records the vacation this time.”

Freshmen speak out for social causes BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — High school freshmen at White Bear Lake Area High School-North Campus are making waves for social causes and nonprofits across Minnesota. One-hundred and sixty-five students in Cassidy Wegwerth's freshman language arts classes raised $960 over the last few months to go to the nonprofit researched by the winning classmate's project. Each student chose a social issue and related nonprofit and then wrote a research paper and made a public service announcement video about it. Students watched each other's videos, voted on finalists from each class, and then voted for a winner from all the classes. Monte Collins was the winner. He said he chose the topic of breast cancer and the American Cancer Society because his mother Rosalie died of breast cancer when

he was 4. Through his research, Monte learned about other types of cancer and symptoms he can watch for to help himself and others beat cancer. This spring, his class will present the American Cancer Society of Minnesota with a check for $960. The funds were raised through a competition between classes. Wegwerth's first-hour class won by a penny and received a donut party, she said. Although Monte had the winning project for the donations, many students' projects have been making a difference inside and outside the school walls. Two students — Julia Thomalla and Olivia Treichel — had their videos featured on the Autism Society of Minnesota's Facebook page. “They actually have gotten a really great response,” said Kelly Thomalla, director of marketing and communications for the organization. Julia also happens to be her daughter. Cheyenne Gill said Bridge for Youth in Minneapolis is considering putting her video about youth homelessness on its website. She also received a tour of the center for GLBTQ homeless youth last week. Cheyenne said she chose the topic of youth homelessness because she is technically homeless, although she is living with her grandparents. “This topic was a very big deal for me,” she said, noting she featured herself in the video. Trevon Kolodziej also picked a topic close to his heart — anxiety. “I picked something I experience every day,” he noted. Through his research on the topic and the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, he learned a technique called “square breathing” to help calm anxiety and has been practicing it himself. “It actually works,” he said. “Through my research, I found a way for myself to deal with it.” Dylan Larson researched the American Heart Association because heart disease has been an issue in his family. His stepfather died from it. He learned heart disease is the number one killer of people in developed countries. He said he learned lifestyle choices that can prevent it — a healthy diet, avoiding tobacco and drugs and limiting alcohol use. Will Menier said he hopes to see if Fuel Up to Play 60, an organization started by the NFL to promote healthy eating and exercise in schools, can come to North Campus. He chose to research the organization because he believes the school and students should do anything they can “to help kids eat healthier and get more exercise.”

SARA MARIE MOORE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Monte Collins’ language arts project on the American Cancer Society was chosen by his classmates to receive $960 raised by students in a social cause competition. The class will present a check to the American Cancer Society this spring.

Rebecca Leroux researched domestic abuse because, although she doesn't have a personal experience with it, she wanted to learn more about it, she said. Through her research on the Domestic Abuse Project in Minneapolis, she learned about the cycle of abuse in families. She appreciated that the Domestic Abuse Project offers counseling to both victims and abusers, and whole families. DJ Mitchell researched a related topic — animal abuse. He said 74 percent of women who have been abused also reported the abuser hurt their pets. DJ researched No Dog Left Behind, which cares for abandoned and abused dogs until a new owner can be found, he said. Wegwerth has implemented the nonprofit research project in her classes for four years, she said. Last year, $850 was raised for the American Cancer Society. Previous winning projects included the Angel Foundation and Hazelden Addiction Treatment Center. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

You may or may not be surprised that as we entered this past weekend, this month was about 2° colder than normal. We’re currently on a streak of 18 months warmer than normal. I was tempted to run the gas out of my snow blower this weekend. I think it’s gas from back in December. I’ve only totaled 35 inches of snow this winter. With temperatures trending warmer, I expect to hear a few ice-outs by the weekend. Friend Scotty reports that Lake Calhoun went out over the weekend for the second time this year.

Secret speakeasy revives the spirit of prohibition in downtown Stillwater BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

STILLWATER — You enter through an unmarked door, descend a dark staircase to the basement, and proceed through a stone vault. A one-way mirror shows your reflection, but on the other side, a bar full of patrons is watching you enter. Inside, the dark, velvet-draped interior will provide the illusion that time has stopped. A clock on the fireplace mantel is forever stopped at 11:59 p.m. Welcome to the Velveteen, Stillwater’s new speakeasy, which will open for business this spring. Located in the basement of JX Event Venue on Second and Commercial streets, owner Dariush Moslemi and team are in the process of remodeling the basement of the old Connolly Shoe Factory into a secret spot reminiscent of the 1920s-era. When Judd Sather opened up JX Event Venue in the building in July, Moslemi saw a huge opportunity in the unused basement area. “This is where I want to put this. This is what Stillwater wants; it’s what I want, and I think it will be something the community really rallies around,” he said. Moslemi said he explored locations across the country, but couldn’t find a location he liked better than the basement of the old Connolly Shoe Factory, constructed in 1906. One of the reasons, he said, was because the space is not manufactured. Of course, there was never an actual speakeasy in the basement of the factory, but the space included a stone vault (through which visitors pass to get to the bar) and an underground tunnel that runs below the street to the store where the shoes were once

offered for sale. “We want to transport you through time, but at the same time we want you to have all the creature comforts of the era, and then some,” he said. Moslemi said that the speakeasy is more about his personal vision for a venue, and less about being historically accurate to the letter. He wants the atmosphere to be comfortable and convenient, so the space will include Wi-Fi and USB ports to charge electronics, though they won’t be obvious. (“You have to be in the know,” Moslemi said.) Real speakeasies were not the cleanest or nicest of places, Moslemi said, but he wanted to create something that was a blend of their hidden nature and the elegance of the era. “I wanted to create a place we’re obviously hiding,” he said. “We’re underground, but we’re luxurious.” The bar space will be filled with wide brick pillars that create privacy, and high, velvet-draped booths that allow small groups to gather. Along with bar seating,

there will be a long communal table for seating, restored 1920s couches and other furniture, and a stage spot that will eventually feature live performers. The bar will be staffed by mixologists, so drinks will tend to be on the more expensive side, but Moslemi said that nothing on the menu will be more than $20. All food offered will be gourmet small plates that are easy to share and sample. “With operational speakeasies, there’s maybe a handful in this country that are to this level,” Moslemi said. “That’s what we wanted to bring to Stillwater, something that you can’t even find in Minneapolis at all, let alone Chicago.” The speakeasy will open in late May or early June. Updates on the Velveteen will be provided at www. thevelveteenspeakeasy.com, or at the Velveteen’s Facebook page. Jackie Bussjaeger can be reached at 651-407-1229 or lowdownnews@ presspubs.com.

Something residents may not know about the White Bear Lake Fire Chief: He is fluent in sign language. Both of Tim Vadnais’ parents were deaf so the family communicated through sign language. At times, the chief is called to the lobby of the Public Safety building if a deaf person walks in who needs assistance. That handy interpretive service will be coming to an end, however, as Vadnais is retiring after almost 43 years with the fire department. His last day is Dec. 30. The chief’s stories are many. Those that stuck start with the most horrific: “Probably the small plane that crashed on Price Field behind Central early in my career. There were body parts everywhere and I’ll never forget the smell of aviation gas. The plane’s wing landed in the back yard of a house.” To one down memory lane: A 40-something woman who walked into his office one day with her son. She told the chief: “You don’t remember me, but you were the guy who delivered me on the Lafayette Bridge.” To one of which he’s most proud: A statistic that marks zero fire deaths since 1986. “Up until 1985, we averaged a fire death every 18 months,” Vadnais said. “Then I attended the executive fire officer course in Maryland. I had just become chief (in 1988) and was totally green.” SEE FIRE CHIEF RETIRING, PAGE 8A

Back in court: DNR appeals, judge recommends mediation in lake lawsuit BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — Both sides in the lake level lawsuit may once again be headed for mediation at the suggestion of the district judge handling the case. White Bear Lake City Attorney Roger Jensen said the city would certainly participate "if there is likelihood the matter could be resolved." The city is an intervenor on the side of the defendant, the Department of Natural Resources. "We would much rather get this case settled than spend a month in trial," he noted. As the March trial date approaches, Judge Margaret Marrinan recommended mediation between parties with retired Justice James Gilbert, the same

arbitrator who helped orchestrate the three-year stay. That settlement, of course, failed this year for lack of legislative action. An attorney for the plaintiff, the White Bear Lake Restoration Association (WBLRA), has contacted Gilbert and is waiting to see if he has time on his calendar. It is not uncommon for a judge to recommend mediation, according to Katie Crosby Lehmann, a managing partner with Ciresi Conlin LLP, the ﬁrm co-representing the WBLRA. Marrinan advised the parties to talk during a hearing Dec. 2 in her Ramsey County courtroom. Her suggestion followed oral arguments regarding a DNR motion appealing the judge's allowance of an

‘Amazing Grace’ for 3 Mounds View High School girls BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

ARDEN HILLS — “Stronger than the power of the grave, constant through the trial and the change, one thing remains, one thing remains: Your love never fails…” sang Mounds View High School students at a vigil Dec. 1 for two students killed in a car crash that morning, and one who remained in the hospital. The vigil, organized by students, included the song, “One Thing Remains,” by Bethel Music, “Amazing Grace,” “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and “When

You’re Gone,” by Avril Lavigne, among others. Principal Jeff Ridlehoover spoke brieﬂy to the community gathering of about 200 people gathered to pay tribute to the lives of Bridget Giere and Stephanie Carlson, both juniors, and give hope for the recovery of Sammy Redden. “Sometimes tragedy and sadness prompt love and togetherness,” he said. Students were encouraged to wear blue at school the next day, a favorite color of the girls, a student representative said. Students were also encouraged to write messages on paper stretched on the walls to the two

girls who died. “Once a Mustang, always a Mustang,” said the student representative. Students also wrote messages to the fellow student, also a junior, who remains hospitalized. “Sammy, your whole school is here for you, keep ﬁghting,” wrote one student in pink marker. “Bridget, you were such a beautiful soul and you will truly be missed,” wrote another student. “Stephanie, your soul of sunshine will be treasured

What do you want? What do you really need? Evaluate your current financial situation and make two lists — one for needs and one for wants. As you make the list, ask yourself the following: • Why do I want it? • How would things be different if I had it? • Which things are important and essential to me? When your list is complete, reevaluate what qualifies as a need before making any purchases that will impact your budget. Keep your budget balanced with wants and needs by setting clear guidelines. If you splurge on a vacation, consider cutting other costs that month to offset that large expense. Take a look at this Budget Worksheet to get a sense of how to allocate your money for different expenses.

Once you start tracking, you may be surprised to ﬁnd that you spend hundreds of dollars a month on eating out, entertainment or other discretionary expenses. To lower these costs, target areas where you can cut back on spending. Remember that reducing expenses is often a more realistic approach than cutting costs entirely.

HEALTH TRENDS

Meet Our Massage Therapist Jennifer is a certified massage practitioner (1996) and certified Reiki healer (2015) in the Usui tradition. Specializing in intuitive healing massage by incorporating therapeutic massage modalities and Reiki energy healing, affecting healing on multiple levels. Jennifer’s interest in natural health began in the early 90’s when she discovered that many prescription and over-the-counter remedies had

essentially the opposite effect on her than was intended. For instance, nighttime cold remedies would wake her up as opposed to helping her sleep. Thus began her interest in homeopathic medicine and alternative health therapies. Always a caregiver, massage and bodywork were a natural fit for Jennifer. With the relatively recent addition of Reiki to her skill set, her practice became much more intuitive by nature. The subtle energies

of the body help direct her to the areas that need the most attention. With a wide ranging background she is able to utilize techniques from several modalities to customize every session for each client, providing a truly unique experience in health and wellness. Continuing Education is an important aspect of Jennifer’s practice which she takes very seriously. Jennifer is always curious to learn something new to help her clients obtain and maintain health and

wellness whether one is recovering from injury or taking preventative steps to live one’s life to the fullest. Certifications in Esalen (Swedish massage), reflexology, Spa techniques (hot/cold stone, body wraps, fango therapy, aromatherapy), Health and Restorative Bodywork and Usui Reiki healing.
