A cluck, cluck here, a cluck, cluck, there BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Fans of chickens have their wish: backyard hens are now allowed in White Bear Lake. But only four and only behind single- or two-family residences. The ordinance received a few tweaks by City Council April 12 after Associate Planner Sam Crosby reviewed conditions recommended by staff. Residents also got a chance to weigh in before the vote with only one resident opposed. Birch Street homeowner Tom Stirling articulated his list of concerns against, saying chickens are livestock, not pets, and attract predators. He also said he had concerns about living next to a hobby farm. Stirling told the council that a change to the ordinance in 2010 failed to pass for a reason: To maintain the urban character of White Bear Lake. And what about end of life? Chickens live 8 to 10 years but lay eggs only three to four, Stirling said. “What happens to them then?” he asked. “They are still taking a bite out of the household budget and become unwanted.” In 2012, a Minneapolis chicken rescue took in 500 birds, according to Stirling, because people were tired of caring for them. “It’s been said that property owners should have the right to do what they want with their property, but we can’t add four stories, erect a 16-foot fence, have trash bins on the street for a week or ignore easements on our lots,” Stirling added. “Ordinances are passed to maintain character. When people purchase a home in the city, you accept

New implant cuts risk of stroke would get large bruises for no apparent reason that took months to disappear and bumps and lumps beneath her skin. “My doctors would prescribe different doses of warfarin but it was hard to regulate,” Hammer said. When her heart went out of rhythm, Hammer would become tired and, at times, struggled to breathe. She did have a close call once when doctors found a blood clot in her arm. “The surgeon who took the clot out told me I was very fortunate,” she recalled. “I could have had a massive stroke. The Man upstairs has guided me to good doctors.” The HealthEast physicians who implanted the Watchman device were Drs. Stuart Adler and Yoaav Krauthammer, both cardiac electrophysiologists.

Luckily for Nancy Hammer, her cardiologist thought she was a perfect candidate for a new device called Watchman. Designed by Boston Scientific, Watchman is the first of its kind. Described as a left atrial appendage closure device, it reduces the risk of stroke in high-risk patients who suffer from an irregular heartbeat, or atrial fibrillation, by keeping dangerous blood clots from entering the bloodstream. Hammer, 79, was one of two patients to get the procedure this month at St. Joseph’s Hospital. The White Bear Lake woman has suffered from a heart condition for years. Her doctors prescribed blood thinners to avoid clotting when her heart went into atrial fibrillation (AF) but Hammer had problems with the medication. She

Take a walking tour of Mahtomedi
3A
Citizens go ‘above and beyond’
Take a walk with tour guides Steve Wolgamot or Ben Reiss Saturday, April 23 to learn more about Mahtomedi Go-Round. The 10-mile walking and biking route, divided into a north and south loop entirely within Mahtomedi and Willernie, will be introduced at Rite of Spring at the District Education Center. Then after the event from 1 to 2 p.m., Wolgamot and others will lead a historic walk of the Chautauqua neighborhood and sites that played an important role in Mahtomedi's growth. From 3 to 5 p.m., Wolgamot will guide a walking tour around the north loop, starting from the City Hall parking lot. There will be views of the lake, beaches, Chautauqua Park and historic area, Streetcar Park and Hamline Lake, Briarwood Trail, Hallam Park and more. Reiss will lead a walking tour of the south loop, also starting from City Hall, and include Willernie Park, Fernwood Park, the secret back way into Katherine Abbott Park, the little known Echo Lake canoe access and Echo Shores park, Wildwood Park, Streetcar Trail and Triangle Park. For those who prefer bicycling, a guided tour of the entire 10-mile Mahtomedi Go Round is planned from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Bring a lock to walk in Echo Shores Park. Upon returning, sign the register for a chance at winning a prize.
Three citizens who helped nab a suspect in a Mahtomedi shooting case received letters of appreciation from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. The three friends, Darcy Ronayne, Jesse Mercier and Felicia Murray, heard a large collision on Jan. 24, 2015, and ran to assist a motor vehicle that had crashed into a tree. While aiding the driver, one of the women noticed a rifle on the front seat, SUBMITTED and while the other two Sheriff Bill Hutton presented a letter of appreciation to distracted the driver, she Jesse Mercier at a Recognition Award Ceremony April 7 in removed the rifle and the Stillwater. Mercier was one of three citizens who helped ammunition from the solve a murder case. Not pictured are Darcy Ronayne and vehicle and hid them. She Felicia Murray. stuck around to explain to the deputies what she had hidden and where it was. Unbeknownst to the citizens, the Sheriff’s Office was actively investigating a homicide in the city. An individual had been randomly shot as he was leaving his business. The discovered weapon had just been used to commit a murder in Mahtomedi and the driver was the suspect. Sheriff Bill Hutton said if not for the three citizens, it may have taken his office some time to solve the crime. “They saw the rifle, recognized the danger and removed it. They shared the information with deputies that filled in the blanks to tie the person into the homicide,” Hutton said. “These citizens went above and beyond.”
Braved the cold in missing person search Washington County deputies Allen Degel, Laura Jackson and Jamie Wilts were awarded Letters of Excellence at a sheriff’s ceremony. The officers were dispatched to a call of a missing male on Jan. 17, 2016, in the city of Mahtomedi. Outside the temperature was minus 14 degrees. The missing male was without a coat, shoes or gloves. When they arrived at the scene, the deputies began the process of attempting a K-9 track to locate the man, who had “psychological difficulties,” according to Hutton. The deputies requested the needed resources and began to attempt locating the individual via his cell phone. The deputies tracked for 45 minutes in the extreme weather and did not locate the male in the area. A search of this type and in these weather conditions is a very difficult task, Hutton said. Later in their shift, they made contact with the missing individual as he had returned home. Deputies went to the missing man’s home to check on his welfare to make sure that the appropriate medical and mental health services were provided.

Stamps are not forever
T
HE REDUCTION IN price of the fi rst class postage stamp has caused conversation both pro and con during the past few weeks. The postal managers don’t like it, claiming it will cause a two billion dollar loss. In a news release from the U.S. Postal Service the following rates went into effect April 10: cost to mail fi rst class letters from 49 cents to 47 cents, letters additional ounces from 22 cents to 21 cents, letters to all international destinations from $1.20 to $1.15, and postcards from 35 cents to 34 cents. How many “Forever” stamps do you have in your inventory? THIS IS THE time of year snowbirds return to Minnesota About the and other northern states from the southern states where they spend Town the winter. High temperatures and Gene Johnson high humidity bring them home for golf, fishing, cycling and hiking. Naturally they also come to be with family, especially their grandchildren. Our winter in Fort Myers, Florida was good except for the month of January when we received six times the normal rainfall. This caused some flooding and arrived with unexpected high winds. During the winter we connected with Minnesota friends: Stan and Jeanette Bakke, Dick and Peggy Palen, Ted and Loretta Blaesing, Jack and Mary Ritt, Rich and Mary Ramsey, and their son and family, Paul and Elaine Magnuson, Gene Dickie, Roger Rafferty, Randa Stanius, Pat and Carol McFarlane, David and Barbara Nicholson, Joe and Pam Hallberg, the Ken Larson’s, Stan and Karen Hubbard, Doug and Deb Johnson, Doug and Linda Carlson, Duane and Tutti Vik, George and Darleen Brushaber, Mary Jo Schwab, Dr. Jay and Barb Barnes and of course some members of our family. Tourism was up 3 percent in Lee County (Ft. Myers) this winter and passengers at RSW (Regional Southwest) airport is up 9 percent. IF YOUR CHILDREN are planning a lemonade stand or other street side sales this summer, remember permits may be necessary. A friend of ours, an Air Force retiree, experimented in New York City with a street stand. He was closed down quickly and discovered he needed 30 different permits. Over-regulation is everywhere in our society today. Entrepreneurship suffers. Small business, the creator of jobs, is discouraged. Proposed labor laws in our state and federal government are ridiculous. Many officials (politicians) don’t understand Main Street America. Many just don’t care. The lesson is clear: “When they throw lemons, you can’t always make lemonade!” THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION campaign is fascinating especially in the area of selection of delegates, superdelegates, rules for caucuses, and convention candidate selection. Revisiting these issues is important for Minnesota, too. BETHEL UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS of Political Science, David Schultz and the late Stacey Hunter Hecht edited the book, “Presidential Swing States: Why Only Ten Matter.” The authors offer a fi rst of its kind examination of why some states are swingers in presidential elections, capable of being won by either of the major candidates, describe what makes these few states unique and explain why the presidency is decided by who wins them. If recent trends continue, voters in Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Iowa and a handful of other states matter greatly. The focus of the book is to understand why the presidential race has been effectively reduced to only 10 states. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

We can all take part in Earth Day
his year marks the official five year countdown to the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. First celebrated on April 22nd, 1970, when 20 million people across the United States called for action and advocated for the protection of our natural resources. This celebration helped to pass the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and Legislator helped to establish the creation of the Lingo Environmental Protection AgenSen. Chuck Wiger cy. Before Earth Day, millions of Americans experienced exposure to environmental degradation and pollution. Since then, the EPA and other organizations have made tremendous strides in the effort to protect our natural resources and our citizens from the effects of industrialization. Presently, Earth Day serves as a positive reminder that we should all be stewards to our environment and can do our part to make our world a safer, cleaner, and better place. Over the next five years, Earth Day Network will support five different initiatives to work towards the greater goal of sustainability by 2020. This year’s theme is “Trees for the Earth,” the goal is to plant a tree for every living person on the planet by 2020; that’s 7.8
billion trees! Trees are an essential part of our ecosystem, and our livelihood. Trees help the planet by removing excess CO2, odors and harmful pollutants from the atmosphere. They also promote biodiversity by providing habitats to countless species and economically, promote higher property values. Earth Day is a great reminder for us to continue to reduce our environmental footprint and limit our energy consumption. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency lists a few simple ways we can all get a little greener in our everyday life through checking for toilet leaks, reducing food waste, and recycling. Changing simple habits can have a profound effect on the world around us. Learn more about what you can do here: https://www.pca.state.mn.us/living-green/living-green-citizens I am proud to say that our region has developed numerous groups and longstanding traditions that aim to give back to our natural world and better our community for its people and visitors. Cities across our area have pledged to work towards greater sustainability by becoming a GreenStep City. As individuals, it is easy to participate in the Earth Day festivities; here are just a few of the events that are happening within our area in the next few weeks. Ramsey County: Starting April 21, Ramsey County is holding gas can exchanges for residents to exchange their old gas can to receive
new, safer ones. Old portable gas cans release vapors that pollute our air. The new gas cans are ventfree and are designed to prevent spills. Exchange your gas can for free at Bay West, Inc., 5 Empire Drive, Saint Paul. White Bear Lake and Maplewood: The Annual Ramsey County parks Earth Day Cleanup will be held April 23 starting at 9 a.m. The event is geared towards volunteers of all ages and the focus of the cleanup is to pick up trash and beautify the parks for the beginning of spring. Events are being held at the following locations: Bald Eagle-Otter Lake Regional Park and Off-Leash Dog Area, 5750 Otter Lake Road, White Bear Township, MN 55110; Tamarack Nature Center, 5287 Otter Lake Road, White Bear Township, MN 55110; Keller Lake Regional Park, 2161 Maplewood Drive, Maplewood, MN 55109. Mahtomedi: Mahtomedi will be celebrating its 10th annual Earth Day event, RITE (Really Into The Earth) of Spring, Saturday April 23.

Friends group: Lake restoration long overdue
he recent guest editorial from the Friends of the Mississippi River, letters to the editor, and quotes from local elected officials miss some important facts. White Bear Lake water levels have been down for approximately 12 years and what we used to refer to as Ramsey County Beach has been closed for nine years. It is beyond time for specific actions to be taken to restore White Bear Lake to its historical levels for the enjoyment of current and future generations. We must remember that White Bear Lake is truly a regional asset that has always been used by residents from far beyond the local communities. White Bear Lake was augmented for several decades by wells on the western shore. This augmentation kept our lake level relatively constant. Augmentation from groundwater wells was stopped by the DNR under state law in 1978. Since that time local governments as well as the DNR approved the augmentation of Gilfi llan Lake in North Oaks and Snail Lake in Shoreview with water from the Mississippi
through the St. Paul Regional Water System. The augmentation of these nearby lakes was highly successful and restored water levels in both lakes in just a couple years. These augmentation systems have not operated in recent years because of abundant rainfall. A simple Movers and extrapolation from the actual annual operatShakers ing costs from these Mike Downing augmentation systems shows the likely operating cost for augmenting White Bear Lake is $250,000 per year, not the $500,000 to $4 million per year from the DNR estimate. Similarly, a simple extrapolation of the actual capital investment for these two augmentation systems indicates a White Bear Lake augmentation system could be built for a fraction of the DNR cost estimate. The Friends of White Bear Lake have obtained a second construction cost estimate for the augmentation
It is time to do something for our children and grandchildren in this region to ensure that they too will be able to enjoy White Bear Lake. of White Bear Lake from Emmons & Olivier Resources (EOR), which is a major environmental engineering company in Minnesota. EOR is very aware of the need to maintain the water quality in White Bear Lake. The EOR capital cost estimate ranged from $26 to $38 million, less than half of DNR cost estimate. Additionally, the operating cost estimate is in the $200,000 to $300,000 per year range. Both the capital cost and operating costs could be further reduced if the augmentation system was resized to 1 billion gallons of water per year from the current 2 billion gallons of water per year. (Please note 1 billion gallons of water is equivalent to 1 foot of water
in White Bear Lake.) Remember, whatever water is put in White Bear Lake either raises the water level or recharges the underlying aquifer. The St. Paul Regional Water System has over 7 billion gallons of additional capacity in their chain of lakes drawing off the Mississippi River. The water quality in this system is closely monitored and any water put into White Bear Lake would be of equal or better quality. It is time to do something for our children and grandchildren in this region to ensure that they too will be able to enjoy White Bear Lake. Count us in the “do something” group of concerned citizens in the White Bear Lake area rather than the “do-nothing” group. For more information refer to: http://www.fowbl.org/ Mike Downing has lived in White Bear Lake since 1974, been a member of the original “ad hoc” WBL water level group, member of the LLRC of the WBLCD and board member of the Friends of WBL.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Address pollution In response to Met Council District 11 Rep. Sandy Rummel’s comment about Gov. Mark Dayton declaring April 17-22 “Water Action Week”: Rep. Sandy Rummel, who serves as chair of the Met Council’s Environmental Committee, stated that in the ’60s streams and rivers were highly polluted with untreated human waste that resulted in the creation of the MPCA, as well as the Metropolitan Council, to treat the metro’s waste water. She is also quoted saying, “It’s hard to imagine the level of pollution in our
water” and is proud of their work over the past 50 years to insure that infrastructure keeps up with the growth. Where were Rep. Sandy Rummel, Gov. Dayton, Rep. Peter Fischer, Harry Melander, and our local government officials when two separate sewer breaks (totaling 600,00 gallons-plus) entered Lost Lake in Mahtomedi and made its way into White Bear Lake? It certainly gives a whole new meaning to “lake augmentation!” The chair of the Environmental Committee is not the solution, but the problem. This is 2016 and nothing has
changed. Our natural resources are still being polluted by municipal infrastructure, and they call it progress! Enjoy your next swim and fish dinner! Sheila DeWuske Mahtomedi
Hit-and-run of mailbox and flowers not neighborly Sometime in the wee hours of April 12, someone’s out-of-control car careened onto my property, smashing into my mailbox and breaking at
ground level the treated wood board that supported my newspaper delivery tubes. In addition, there are deep tire tracks on the lawn and my new daylilies near the mailbox were flattened. The tire tracks could be seen plainly on the street leading away from the cul-de-sac adjoining my street. A guest leaving someone’s house? No note, no apology, nothing. And I’m paying for repairs. Vadnais Heights feels less neighborly these days. Sandra Waterman Vadnais Heights
POLITICAL BRIEFS Republican candidate endorsed for District 42
Candidate endorsed for District 43
$2 million funding request introduced
Candy Sina received Republican endorsement for Senate District 42 April 2. Sina’s top priorities in the Senate would be removing government control from the lives of families in suburban Ramsey County as much as possible. That includes putting K-12 education back into the hands of the parents, preventing surplus from being spent on more government programs and allowing citizens to choose health care that meets their needs. Sina has spent most of her working career in health care. She graduated from the University of Northwestern. She has lived in Shoreview for 22 years and Mounds View for 10 years. District 42 includes the cities of Shoreview, Mounds View, Arden Hills, Vadnais Heights, Little Canada, Gem Lake and parts of Roseville, Spring Lake Park and Blaine. For more information visit www.candysinaforsenate.com.
The Independence Party has endorsed Chris Belflower of Mahtomedi for the State Senate District 43 race, which includes southern White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Willernie and Birchwood. He plans to kick off his campaign April 14 with a free meet-and-greet starting 7 p.m. at the Dugout Bar, 96 Mahtomedi Ave. Belflower was a volunteer firefighter for Mahtomedi for 22 years and an entreprenueur who purchased a tavern poker company that he has since sold. He now works as a safety training specialist for a construction company. As the IP-endorsed candidate, Belflower said, "The current stalemates and bickering of Minnesota's two ruling parties gets us nowhere. I don't expect to agree with every resident on every issue but with responsible give and take, we can accomplish great things together." More on his campaign is available at www.chrisbelflower.com.
Legislation to provide $2 million in state funding for the Rush Line Corridor was introduced by Representative Peter Fischer and Senator Foung Hawj after the 2016 session began March 8. The Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority, with the support of the Rush Line Corridor Task Force, is requesting the $2 million to fund environmental review and conceptual engineering activities. These House and Senate bills will be considered by legislative committees specializing in transportation and capital investment. Follow the progress of the two bills online: Rep.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Maintenance of water treatment plant The city of White Bear Lake's Water Treatment Plant will be shut down for routine maintenance April 25 to April 29. Water will not be softened during this time, so residents may notice a slight change in hardness. The water is still safe to drink. Following the plant shut-down, the city will flush all of its fire hydrants to enhance water quality, verify hydrants are in good working order and to verify ample flow is available for firefighting. There may be a temporary drop in water pressure during this time. Water may be rusty or cloudy, but not harmful and it may take running the cold water for several minutes to clear sediment out of the system. Wash dark clothes first and wait until the water is clear to wash white laundry. You may want to use filtered water in your coffee maker, as this will improve the taste and not leave sediment. If you would like more information or
have a question, please contact the Water Department at 651-779-5106.

DWI enforcers honored
SCAM REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office continues to receive calls for two scams: • Grandparent Scam: Victims receive a call from someone claiming to be a law enforcement officer. The caller is told that a grandchild is in jail and needs money immediately for court or bail. They direct the victim to get cash, money orders or gift cards for payment. This is a scam. Law Enforcement does not ask for money ever over the phone. If you receive one of these calls, hang up and block the number if you are able. • IRS Scam: Victims receive a call from someone claiming to be from the IRS. The victim will be told that there is a warrant for their arrest and that they need to get cash, money orders, or gift cards for payment to prevent their arrest. This is a scam. The IRS will not call you in this manner or demand cash to prevent your arrest. If you receive one of these calls, hang up and block the number if you are able. Commander Cheri Dexter said the sheriff's office continues to see victims paying out to these scams. Press release

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:
VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A loss prevention officer at a discount store in the 800 block of County Road E observed a shopper pocketing a package of fake fingernails along with several makeup brushes April 4. The 23-year-old Willernie woman was charged with theft by shoplifting. • A stolen adult tricycle was recovered the morning of April 6 outside a hotel in the 1100 block of County Road E. Attached to the three-wheeler was a “lost and found” box that had been stolen from another hotel nearby. An investigation pointed a finger at a 20-year old burglar from Lauderdale, later implicated in White Bear Lake and Gem Lake home break-ins and an auto theft. He was collared in White Bear Lake later that day and taken into custody on felony theft charges. • A 35-year-old female was arrested April 11 at the discount store in the 800 block of County Road E for wheeling out a cart containing two tires she had not paid for. • Here’s a bad idea. A man who may not be on the fast track showed an ID at the service counter of the
aforementioned discount store April 11, attempting to return for cash two vacuum cleaners that he had stolen. When that attempt was denied for lack of a receipt, the man left the store with one vacuum valued at $189, leaving the other machine behind. The 39-year-old Roseville man was mailed a citation for theft to the address on his ID. • Nocturnal vehicle rummaging no doubt led to the theft of tools from a service truck parked overnight April 12 on Desoto Street. A male victim is still totaling up the loss. • Age-related changes in brain chemistry may have contributed to an unruly 13-year-old boy’s action of ripping a water fountain off of the wall April 12 at the Academy for Sciences & Agriculture in the 100 block of Vadnais Boulevard. The teen faces a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and a pending charge of criminal damage to property. He was booked into the Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center, then released to his parents.
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A 65-year-old Whitaker Street man reported on April 1 that half of his supply of oxycodone had disap-
peared. Authorities are looking for other possible victims. A 29-year-old home health care suspect has lawyered up. • Against her better judgment, a woman let her ex-boyfriend, who has a revoked driver’s license, use her vehicle April 7 on the condition it would be returned by 6 p.m. At 8 p.m. she notified the sheriff’s office about the missing vehicle. It was found three days later behind a soft-serve ice cream parlor in Lino Lakes. • A trio of Corgi’s went crazy April 10 at the Otter Lake Dog Park on Otter Lake Road, attacking other dogs and biting a female on the scene. The troubled Corgi’s, currently unlicensed, hail from White Bear Lake and the case remains under investigation by Ramsey County Animal Control. • According to law enforcement reports, an 11-year-old youth, bothered by a noisy classmate in the Bellaire Education Center school gym on April 12, confronted the noisemaker and a scuffle broke out. A female staff member entered the fray and the 28-year-old was hit in the throat by an elbow thrown by the 11-year-old. The victim did not need medical attention and the preteen was booked into the JDC on a disorderly conduct charge, then released to parents.
WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:
DELLWOOD • A resident in the 20 block of Lacosta Drive on April 4 reported being contacted by the Maplewood Police regarding a letter he'd left in the mailbox with the flag up.
GRANT • A White Bear Lake woman, 48, was mailed a citation April 6 after running through a school bus stop arm on eastbound Apple Orchard Road while students were leaving the bus. One of the students was in the street when the subject vehicle passed under the stop arm.
• Someone reportedly stole $60 April 6 from a student backpack in the girls' locker room at Mahtomedi High School on 75th Street N. Follow-up will continue as teachers review a surveillance video of suspects in the locker room at the time. • Residents on Manning Trail N. on April 6 reported being scammed out of $10,000, an iTunes gift card and another $13,000 after receiving a phone call from a party claiming to be from law enforcement. The caller said the complainant's grandson needed the money and gift card to keep out of prison. The Washington County Sheriff's Office advises the public that the two most popular scams claim a grandchild is in jail or that the IRS has an arrest warrant out. No law enforcement agency would ever demand money or gift cards for any reason. • A resident in the 10000 block of 114th
Street N. on April 7 reported five unauthorized purchases totaling $250 on a credit union debit card. The transactions were made out of state or on line. • A resident in the 11000 block of 60th Street N. on April 7 reported a door to a shed kicked in and a tile saw and tub of miscellaneous tools stolen. • A pair of Tiffany glasses was reported stolen April 7 from Mahtomedi High School. • A resident in the 11000 block of 110th Street N. on April 12 reported numerous unauthorized charges to a Cabela's Visa card.
MAHTOMEDI • A resident in the 70 block of Crocus Street on April 4 reported unauthorized access to an eBay account and a package sent to a Woodbury address. • A resident in the 100 block of Kenwood
Street on April 4 reported a white truck occupied by two males driving around his neighborhood opening mailboxes. • A resident in the 1500 block of Bryant Avenue on April 4 reported finding several pieces of mail in the recycling bin.

The window was shot with a BB gun. Two juvenile males were identified and referred for charges. • A 19-year-old male from White Bear Lake was arrested on a misdemeanor warrant in the area of McKnight Road and Karth Road at 7:17 p.m. April 8.

On April 8 a female entered the business with a prescription for medication she received. The prescription was later determined to be forged.

these restrictions. Please keep this a city and not support this ordinance.” Someone knowledgeable about raising chickens was Barbara Rosamilia. She has 15 years of backyard chicken keeping, she said, and “favors keeping hens in White Bear Lake.” “The eggs are superior; the animals are easy to care for and very social,” she told the council. “Chickens are low-level composters and control weeds and bugs. The manure provides rich compost.” She said she enjoys chickens for the “connection, the food and love of the animal.” Coops must be well constructed, Rosamilia advised, or you will lose chickens to predators. But they will not jail break. Hens are quiet dust to dawn, some breeds are quieter than others and “no more smelly than a well-tended compost pile,” Rosamilia said. For those worried about noise, she noted a neighbor dog was more relentless in its barking than any chicken. Her oldest chicken lived to 14 and they all had names. A resident on Floral Drive, Michelle Bruhn, also encouraged council to approve the ordinance. She said chickens were “not a gateway animal” to other livestock and there are options for culling. “Using them for meat is not out of the question,” Bruhn added. There is a shelter in Minneapolis called “Chicken Run Rescue” for
unwanted birds, she said, noting that the city of 400,000 has issued about 300 permits. “This is not for everyone,” Bruhn said. “But as a Minneapolis city official told me, ‘some rural culture is good for a city.’” Two other residents, Steve Rippe and Cindy Dierich, were also pro-chicken. Rippe has raised chickens before and has farmer friends who will take the accidental rooster or unproductive hens. He had a hen who lived to 9 years of age. “She would eat bugs and I saw her eat two mice,” he recalled. As for any racket they might make, “crows are more obnoxious.” Finally, Dierich called her experience growing up with chickens in Maplewood “amazing.” “It taught my sister and I responsibility that I would like to pass on to my kids.” Councilman Kevin Edberg asked Crosby if she felt staff was comfortable with the recommendations? Crosby said she felt “pretty confident” the ordinance was ready for approval. Councilman Dan Jones reminded residents there will be no variances to allow fowl. “If the property can’t fit it, they can’t have chickens,” he said. A search of other city ordinances regarding number of chickens showed Centerville, Shoreview and Falcon Heights allow four; Minneapolis allows six and Maplewood allows 10. North St. Paul and Mahtomedi do not allow chickens.
FILE PHOTO
A maximum of four hens will be allowed under the amended ordinance.
ORDINANCE CONDITIONS Conditions of the ordinance include: • A 50-foot setback from neighboring property or consent from that neighbor. • Coops must have a run and be made of finished building materials similar to those used on a house. • Runs must provide 10 square feet per hen unless the yard is fenced; then it’s 6 square feet per hen. Fences must be at least 4 feet high with a maximum of 6 feet. • Coops must be kept reasonably clean. • There will be no annual inspections. That is too staff intensive. Rather, inspections will be complaint based. If there is a violation, it must be remedied within 10 days. If approval is revoked, the owner must remove birds within 15 days and remove the coop within 30 days. • City ordinance does not allow animal feces in composting, for now. The city’s trash hauler will accept chicken waste in the same way they accept pet waste and used diapers.
Expo debuts to bring community together BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Fryc of Bubble Smash Sports will allow youth to try on a bubble suit and bounce around. The bubble suits can be used for group games such as soccer or others. A 20-pound suit of air is worn from the knees to above the head. Bubble soccer started in Denmark about five years ago as a way to play soccer without being afraid of impact. Joshua describes it as a cross between soccer, football and sumo wrestling. “We find it really helpful to educate people about it,” said Joshua. “It is still such a new sport. If you fall down, you just bounce up. It is just an absolute blast.” The Frycs of Roseville are one of few vendors in the Twin Cities who rent out the balls for group games and parties. The couple graduated from the University of Northwestern last spring and decided to start their own bubble ball business. “I saw some of these videos on YouTube a few years ago,” said Joshua. “I thought, ‘As soon as I am done with college I will buy balls and set up a
business.’” The couple also both coach soccer. Magician Karl Achilles of Hugo will also be performing new stunts at the expo as a “sneak preview.” Achilles specializes in illusions and Houdini-style escapes. “We are going to preview a few new tricks on May 1 that we are going to be doing this year,” said Achilles. At the expo, a mascot dance-off will also be held. Mascots from area businesses and organizations will compete to see whose mascot dances the best. Food vendors will also be on hand — Acqua Restaurants, Applebee's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Perkins, Pizza Man, Meet Market and Subway among them. The expo was spearheaded by Press Publications, which partnered with the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC). “We are so thrilled about the expo,” said Ling Becker, executive director of the VHEDC. “We are really excited about some of the local dance groups and having some of the
local schools perform.” Becker organized the event with Patty Steele, advertising director of Press Publications. “The overall goal of connecting folks in the community together is amazing,” said Becker. “Patty and I are both passionate about it.” Steele also spearheaded a community expo in Woodbury several years ago, which now draws close to 10,000 attendees. Becker described her as the “queen of expos.” Becker is excited to see area cities come together as locals. “It is really worthwhile because to be able to brand the area as a northeast region is something we haven't done much of in the area,” she said. “To have this intersection where several cities come together and business and community groups can connect with the community under one roof is a real opportunity.” Free parking will be available on site and there will also be a free shuttle from Tousley Sports, Du Fresne Manufacturing and Dey Distributing.

STROKE: Implant reduces risk FROM PAGE 1A
According to Adler, the estimated 5 million Americans who suffer from AF are often at an increased risk of stroke due to blood stagnating from the improperly beating atrium, forming clots and entering the bloodstream. While there are anticoagulant therapies, or blood thinners, to address the risk, not all patients are candidates for long-term use of those therapies due to risk for bleeding complications and quality of life tradeoffs. As a result, many patients had no suitable treatment options for AF prior to the Food and Drug Administration’s 2015 approval of the Watchman. The size of a quarter, the Watchman works by closing off the left atrial appendage of the heart, the source of more than 90 percent of stroke-causing blood clots that come from the heart in people with AF. Does she feel better after the procedure? “Yes, both mentally and physically,” said the mother of six. “I rest easier knowing there’s a good possibility I won’t have a stroke.”
Hammer, a White Bear Lake resident for 53 years, said Dr. Adler did a procedure called an ablation two years ago to correct the AF, but it didn’t provide a lasting result and she had to continue on blood thinner. After the Watchman, she expects to soon discontinue the blood thinner. “First doctors have to go in with a camera to make sure the Watchman is in the right place,” she said. “After that, they will take me off warfarin.” Medicare recently approved the procedure, according to Hammer. HealthEast is the fi rst health care provider in the Twin Cities to perform the implant surgery. Dr. Krauthammer reported that both implant procedures were successful. “It’s incredibly rewarding to make a meaningful difference in a patient’s life,” he said. “I anticipate that both of the individuals who received the implants will enjoy a greatly improved quality of life along with the peace of mind of knowing their AF is being managed and their stroke risk significantly reduced.”

WHITE BEAR CITY COUNCIL NOTES At its April 12 meeting, the City Council conducted the following business: • Approved purchase agreement for 2511 County Road E. The former gas station on the northeast corner of E and Bellaire Avenue was once a service garage. It has not been operational since 2012 and defaulted back to the mortgage lender, Associated Bank. City Development Director Anne Kane said the property was strategically situated to help ensure the city plays an active role in determining the future revitalization of the area. Last fall, the property was listed for $195,000. Last month, the sales price for the gas station was reduced to $99,000, generating increased interest in the site and potential for broader redevelopment of the corner so the city secured the property. “The acquisition assures the city is at the table for this strategic corner,” Kane said. “We believe it could stimulate interest in the other corners.” The city will be responsible for remediation at the site; funding will come from the city development fund to prepare it for future sale. The building will be demolished and underground tanks removed at a cost of about $70,000. • Approved a request by Mark and Mary Westra for
setback variances to construct a new home close to the same location as the existing home at 2355 Fifth St. The old home will be razed. • Approved a request by Kim and Joe Roubal for two variances to construct an 8x22 foot deck along the front of their house at 2162 South Shore Blvd. and a 6-foot entry cover. • Approved a 10 percent increase in ambulance service rates. The fire department responded to 2,960 emergency medical calls during 2015, which is a 65 percent increase since 2000. Some of those calls were from Hugo, which no longer uses White Bear Lake for ambulance service. The city now responds to about 280 calls per month, on average, or nearly eight calls per day. The city provides service to White Bear Township, Birchwood, Dellwood and a small portion of Lino Lakes. In 2015, the service reported a net loss of $12,500. Finance Director Don Rambow said the city loses money on about 50 percent of the calls. Revenue comes from customers using the service and paying their share of the costs. • Approved fire department mutual aid agreements for the following fire agencies: cities of St. Paul, Roseville, Little Canada, Maplewood, Falcon
Heights, North St. Paul, Vadnais Heights, New Brighton, White Bear Lake and the Lake Johanna Fire Department. The agreement means emergency calls are automatically dispatched to the primary jurisdiction and any agency that the dispatcher determines may provide a more timely response. • Awarded contract for 2016 mill and overlay project to T. S. Schifsky & Sons for $1.5 million. The project will start with Fourth Street. • Received the 2015 financial report from the White Bear Lake Conservation District showing a balance of $178,000. Councilman Kevin Edberg took issue with the amount. “There is no reason for them to be sitting on that much money,” he said. “I’m not happy with those numbers.” Edberg said the district should give the city a third of its money back. He also asked for a policy about appropriate reserves, something Edberg noted he has asked for repeatedly in the past. Mayor Jo Emerson said she also has issue with some of the district’s expenses and would follow up with the district board. Debra Neutkens

Loss of habitat, disease, parasites and pesticides have taken their toll on pollinators. To learn more about protecting bees and other pollinators, visit the website of the Stillwater-based group Pollinator Friendly Alliance at pollinatorfriendly.org.
WHITE BEAR LAKE — A pollinator-friendly group is making the rounds to area cities asking for endorsement of safe policies and practices. Several communities have passed ordinances to help pollinators like bees and butterflies, including the city of White Bear Lake. What that means is a promise to plant gardens free of pesticides, provide pollinator habitat, cease use of bee-harming pesticides like neonicotinoids, educate neighbors and join the Pollinator Friendly Alliance. Before the vote, the City Council heard a presentation April 12 from Alliance volunteer Laurie Snyder. As pollinator species decline, there is a parallel decline in the plants and animals that depend on them, Snyder said. "Threats to pollinators affect our entire food system," Snyder told the council. "Honeybees and other pollinators are responsible for the pollination of key crops including fruits, nuts, berries, melons and alfalfa, accounting for two-thirds of the plants we consume." Communities in the metro are taking action to protect pollinator species by making a commitment to avoid the use of systemic
insecticides; to purchase plants that have not been sprayed, and plant for pollinator-friendly species on public property. Potential sites in White Bear Lake were identified for incorporating pollinator species into existing landscapes. They include lakeshore buffers and rain gardens and seeding nongrass areas in city parks with a pollinator seed mix. Specific sites mentioned for plantings are Hidden Hollow Park and the fi re station on County Road E. Minnesota Native Landscapes was also hired to install pollinator-friendly native plantings this spring on right of way between Sam's Club and the new Cub Foods on Buerkle Road. The company will maintain the site for the next three years while plants establish. The city was awarded a habitat restoration project grant from Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District to cover half of the installation cost. According to Snyder, 16 cities and counties in the state are now pollinator-friendly. "Churches are putting up bee hotels and bee lawns. Rotary Clubs want to get involved," she said. "Bees are not back. It's still a problem. We are losing 50 percent of our bees per year." For more information on the Stillwater-based alliance, go to pollinatorfriendly. org.

LOOKING BACK Week of April 17 – April 23, 2016 1916 In another place will be found Mayor Fournelle’s Proclamation relating to “Clean-up Week.” The village officials have already begun the war on dirt and many of our people are busy also, but it is hoped that during the first week of May there will be an enthusiastic response to the call of our mayor to have our village so that it may be safely called “the cleanest village in the state.” The question might be asked, “Why wait until the first week in May?” The work can be begun at any time but the concentrated action would be less effective were there to be an attempt before the frost was entirely gone….. 1941 The following items are taken from the Post Beacon, Riverside, Calif. Mstr. Sgts. Lizee and Collette, 1st Sg. Porier, Tech Sgt. Long, Staff Sgt. LeVasseur, Acting Sgt. Letourneau and Pvt. Traux recently went to Balboa beach. Collette and Long since have left for the electrical course, CA school, at Fortress Monroe…. 1966 Sergeant Jim Andrews, local Air Force
recruiter announces the enlistment of two local men in the United States Air Force. Richard B. Palmer and LeRoy M. Cluckey enlisted on April 13, and are now undergoing the four to six weeks of basic training in Texas. Richard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence R. Palmer, 3833 Van Dyke, White Bear Lake, and LeRoy M. Cluckey son of Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy O. Cluckey, of 3960 Stockdale Drive, White Bear Lake. Both are graduates of White Bear Lake High School…. 1991 After sixty years and over 6,000 students, the old Mahtomedi Middle School comes down. The school opened its doors in 1930 and closed at the end of the 198990 school year. The demolition is to be completed by the end of May. All will be taken down except the south wing that was built in 1964…. 2006 Word on the street…Do you think the state should support the proposed construction of new stadiums for the Twins, Vikings and Gophers football team? Sandy Baker – “Yes, well I don’t think they can afford to play favorites. Why should one get one, and the others

Bears look sharp while stinging Mustangs BY MARK AGUIRRE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
SHOREVIEW — It was one of those occasions where everything falls into place and the team partners those favorable bounces and hops, with a solid defense and offense. The White Bear Lake softball players, coaches, and fans will welcome any and all of those kind of days. The Bears used the effective offerings of starting and winning pitcher Parker Nordstrom and reliever Emily Price to help turn aside host Mounds View 6-2 last Friday here at Rice Creek Park. Coach Kaity Wightman’s crew bounced back after a 6-2 loss at the hands of Cretin-Derham Hall in their Suburban East Conference and season opener two days earlier. Sophomore Liz Lilygren blasted a two-run home run in the fifth against Mounds View, after bouncing a RBI base hit up the middle in the top of the first to stake Nordstrom to a 1-0 lead. Bailey Letourneau led off the first with a base hit off Mounds View shortstop Chloe Whalen’s glove. Kaitlynn Barger followed with single in that same hole between short and third. Letourneau was out at the plate later in the inning, but Barger scored on Lilygren’s single to center off Mustang starter Marissa Peschel. The Bears added a single run in the second, on base hits by Kari Breuer and Nordstrom. Breuer gained third on an infield out, before bolting in from third on a harmless come-

Red Wing tops Zephyrs The Mahtomedi baseball team lost for the first time this season, falling 11-6 to Red Wing in a non-conference matchup last Saturday. Red Wing's Brodie Smith had a huge day at the plate with three hits and four RBI. The Zephyrs, now 4-1, grabbed a quick 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, but the Wingers pushed across four runs in the second, and three markers each in the fourth and fifth frames. Kyle Hinseth was 2-for-4 with a double a two RBI, and Trevor Moses was 2-for-3 with two doubles for coach John Hardgrove's crew. Lincoln
backer to Peschel off Letourneau’s bat. Hanna Donahue doubled to the gap before Lilygren timed a Peschel changeup and drove in well over the fence in right-center. Letourneau scored in the sixth after singling. She gained a base on a wild pitch and scored on an infield error. Lilygren walked and scored the final Bear run in the seventh. Price faced four batters in both the fifth and sixth innings, before Mounds View pushed home a pair of markers in the last of the seventh. Chloe Whalen singled to right to get the seventh started, and Sophe Hanzalik raced on an infield error. Emma Patty plated Whalen with a solid single to center, and Hanzalik scored on a Tina Rosenow sacrifice. Price nailed down the victory by getting Hentges to pop out, and Tina Lavalle to bounce out. “We played well on both offense and defense, and our pitchers shut them down,” offered Wightman with a grin. “We were in control all game. It was a nice win for us.” The Bears host Park-Cottage Grove on Wednesday, and visit Stillwater on Thursday. “We want to continue to do a good job on defense and work together,” Wightman concluded. “It was no fun for us today,” said Mustang coach Bekah Roth. “We need to get our bats going and tighten up on defense. We lost our number one pitcher (Becky Volkert) when she injured her knee in the last basketball game. Marissa (Peschel) has stepped in and done a good job, but we miss Becky.”
Rock took the loss on the mound for Mahtomedi. The Zephs beat St. Thomas Academy 7-6 earlier in the week, rallying for three runs in the bottom of the seventh. Moses was 3-for-4 with four RBI, Hinseth 3-for-4, and Evan Reyes earned the win. The also gained a Metro East Conference win over Henry Sibley, beating the host Warriors 7-3 on April 12. Mahtomedi has a big week ahead, with a matchup against neighbor White Bear Lake on Saturday on its own field, after visiting Hill-Murray on Wednesday.
The White Bear Lake girls' lacrosse crew lost 12-5 to Hill-Murray in their season opener this past Thursday. The Pioneers got an excellent performance from their goaltender Mari Johnson. She finished with 10 saves while Bear counterpart Johansen had four saves.
The Bear offense was paced by Ciara Bond with a pair of goals and an assist. Sally Moris, Abriana Anderson, and Sydney Steere had a goal apiece. Caroline Cayot had four goals and three assists for Hill-Murray. White Bear entertains Mahtomedi at 7 p.m. on Friday night.

an early release is casting like a fishing rod. This release results in a weakened impact position with the left wrist being cupped at impact. It adds loft to the club which results in a loss of power as well as consistency. It’s called casting or early release when the clubhead and left forearm are in a straight line prior to making contact with the ball (for right-handed players) It’s called scooping when the clubhead passes the hands through impact and the player is trying to lift the ball into the air. At impact you should see the shaft leaning slightly toward the target (hands

and tells them to swing. What I’ve seen so far is this; the majority of golfers have their right hand “under the grip”. Your hands need to work together as one unit. If they don’t, you will have a severely strong or a severely weak grip. Neither allows you to hit a ball straight. So get your right hand turned farther to the left, with your right thumb resting on the left side of the shaft (for right handed golfers). If I had to pick the two most common swing faults I’ve seen so far they would be 1) over the top and 2) casting, or early release.Over the top usually occurs due to an overuse or over-dominance of the upper body on the downswing. As a result the club is thrown outside of the intended swing plane, with the clubhead approaching the ball from the outside to in. The result is a pull if the face is square or a slice if the face is open. Many golfers do not realize that a pull and a slice are the same swing; the only difference is the position of the clubface at impact. What I see most often is players are not able to separate their upper from their lower torso, so the swing becomes what I call a one piece swing. If you can’t start the downswing with your lower body, you really have nowhere to go with the club except over the top. If you’ve ever heard of the term “in the slot”, getting the shaft in the slot is a direct result of starting the downswing with your hips. Casting or early release refers to any premature release of the wrist angles during the downswing and through impact. I think a good analogy to describe

Coaching a high school girls golf team has been a very interesting challenge. I didn’t know what to expect as far as the level of play, how committed the players would be, how much time they would be willing to practice to Tee Time improve, and what kind of attitudes I would encounwith Coach ter along the way. This is the same asBetsy sessment I make when I Larey work with a new client. If I get someone who wants a “quick fix” (when they really need a game overhaul), I’m pretty sure that lack of commitment is going to be a major issue. Golf is a hard sport. I’m not telling you something you don’t already know. If you’re not “all in”, by all means keep playing but I don’t think you should bother keeping score. I really don’t. Just enjoy your day and get a little exercise along the way. If you would like to improve, I suggest enlisting the services of a competent teaching professional. I am not saying you have to have lessons every week for the summer, but a good teaching pro should be able to pick out 2 or 3 things to work on. At high school events, I spend a lot of time on the first tee getting all the groups off. It’s been interesting because I see the exact same swing faults as I do with adults. That leads me to believe that humans are predisposed to moving their bodies in a particular way when someone puts a golf club in their hands

Bear golfers fit as a fiddle entering season
SUBMITTED SUBMITTED
White Bear Lake golfers (from left) Gabe Rensenbrink, Scott Marston, Mason Fiddle, John Delaney and Jack Peterson pose with their championship plaque at Wisconsin Dells.
Mason Fiddle shows off his form. Nasvik BY BRUCE STRAND CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Mason Fiddle gets the musical question often. “No, I don’t play the fiddle,” chuckles the White Bear Lake golf and hockey captain. “Maybe I should. People always ask me that.” While not familiar with a fiddler’s bow, Fiddle has mastered golf clubs and hockey sticks. He was a three-year starter at defenseman for the Bear skaters, and enters his fi nal prep season as leader of one of the state’s best golf teams. He’ll play for the Gophers next year on scholarship. Fiddle set an East Suburban Conference record last year with his 71.0-stroke average, then repeated as section champion and tied for seventh at the state meet with 71-79-150, leading the Bears to a fourth-place fi nish. The last day of that excellent season rankles him

and his teammates, though. “I was tied for fi rst, and the team was leading after the fi rst day, and then we fell apart the second day,” Fiddle said. “So we are really motivated this year.” Coached by Craig Nasvik in his 27th season, the Bears return four of their top six shooters, all of whom made all-conference: seniors Fiddle, John Delaney (76 average), and Scott Marston (76), and junior Jack Peterson (78). They will likely be ranked in the top five after placing fourth at state in 2015 and 2014, and seventh in 2013. Along with Fiddle, others placing high at state were Delaney, 20th last year with 153, and Marston, 20th in 2014 with 152. The Bears opened April 9 the same way they started the 2015 season, by winning the Wisconsin Dells Invitational. They shot 306 to prevail in a 20team field at Trappers Turn Golf Course, edging Middleton (Wisconsin) by two strokes. Delaney was runner-up with 73. Marston shot 76, Peterson 77, Fiddle 80 and Gabe Rensenbrink 84. This was supposed to be a two-day event, but Friday’s rounds were canceled due to snowfall on Thursday. “It was an awesome start to our season,” said

Nasvik. “A 306 is a great start.” Fiddle, who’s 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, is a fi fthyear varsity player, dropping his average each year from 78 in eighth grade to 76, 74 and 71. Each year since ninth grade he has made all-conference and played at the state meet, placing 40th with 159 as a freshman and 44th as a sophomore with 157. He’s helped the Bears win conference and section team titles the last three years. He shot 67 in competition three times in 2015, at a conference meet at Southview, an invitational at Edinburgh, and a national tournament in Las Vegas in the summer where he was runner-up with 67-72-139. He’s won the section the last two years with 72 as a sophomore and 74-71-145 as a junior. In 2014 he took second in the Tri-State at Edinburgh (the state’s biggest regular-season event) and won the Minnesota Junior PGA’s Fall Classic at Cragun’s. He notched a hole-in-one at age 13 at Highland Hills. “Mason is a great student of the game,” said Nasvik. “His approach is very basic: Keep the ball in the short grass, hit great approach shots, and don’t leave any putts short because they don’t ever go in.” Fiddle holds his putts down to about 30 per round and drives 300-plus yards regularly. The Gopher coaching staff, headed by John Carlson, in offering him the scholarship, told him they liked his swing, his putting, and the way he puts the team fi rst. He’s a third-generation golfer as both sets of grandparents, and his father and mother, are all avid golfers, “although Mom not so much any more because she’s taking care of my 6-year-old brother.” His mom’s parents lived next to Oak Marsh in Oakdale, where Mason got started at age 2 with little plastic clubs. They now winter in Mesa, Arizona, and his dad’s folks have a time share in Palm Springs, California, so Mason and his father visit both each spring break and play a few three-generation rounds with them. Actually, 10 members of the team went to Arizona this spring break and played for four days before Fiddle visited the grandparents. The Bears are intent on extending dynasties in the conference and section and taking another run at the state title. Their No. 2 and No. 6 golfers graduated, but Fiddle said the guys moving up “will do a great job.” Also challenging for varsity slots, said Nasvik, are Rensenbrink, Brett Gavin, Nick Abbott, Nick Moore, Jacob Montgomery and Casey Reif. “I think we have a great chance of going once more,” said Nasvik, who has coached since 1989 with two champion teams (2000 and 2004) and two state individual champions in Grant Lissick (2000) and Andy Paulson (2004). “The boys have worked hard and want to do better than last year. The recipe for success is really pretty simple. Improve every day, work on your weak areas and strive to be your best in June.”

North Heights church reopens its doors BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
ARDEN HILLS — It was standing-room only at the reopening service of North Heights Lutheran Church at its Arden Hills campus April 10. There were 1,894 people in attendance within a sanctuary that fits about 1,300, and some of them sat in an overflow room to watch the service via video. Some sat on the floor or stood. The service began with a standing ovation by attendees to no one in particular — God being the only obvious recipient of the ovation. The church had closed its doors just five weeks earlier — but 1,000 members, who had been meeting at a hotel since last July when the Roseville campus was closed by Arden Hills leadership reportedly for fi nancial reasons, stepped in to try to save the church. Those members had been putting money into a fund since December — and it ended up being enough. Confl icts with leadership of the Arden Hills campus reportedly prevented the money from being released earlier. When they heard the church was completely closing, the members offered the money to prevent the church from going into bankruptcy. On March 23, church council members — preceding their own resignations — appointed a new council. The six new council members each will fulfi ll the term of the council member whom they replaced. Several will only serve two months until the church’s annual meeting, when new council members will be

elected. The previous council chose an outside mediator — Rev. Mike Smith of Redeeming Love Church in Maplewood — to oversee the reconciliation between the council and the hotel group. Rev. Morris Vaagenes of Shoreview, who was the senior pastor of the church from 1961-1999, and two other pastors who had previously worked at North Heights will provide temporary pastoral leadership, just as they had been to members meeting at the hotel. The church opened its Roseville campus on April 17. Rev. Smith served as guest speaker for the reopening service at Arden Hills April 10. He addressed the inter-
nal strife with a call for forgiveness among parishioners. “I believe the core of a church that opens up the windows of heaven is forgiveness,” said Smith. “I declare on this day, April 10, that the heavens are opened up over this place again. The thing that closes up heaven is our own stubbornness and rebellion.” Smith said no church is perfect and forgiveness is the key to unity. “It is not the demand for justice that brings healing but the desire for mercy,” he said. “We can begin to forgive each other and ask for forgiveness. Forgiveness is opening up your arms to somebody who has hurt you.” Representatives from the church’s affi liation

ARC representative Dave Heinrich, quoting Isaiah 43:18-19. Vaagenes led the congregation in receiving forgiveness from God through communion — “come union,” he said. At the close of its reopening service, attendees held hands across the sanctuary as they sang about forgiveness in the Lord's Prayer. “We felt we wanted there to be joint services at the beginning so we get that sense of unity in the body,” said Vaagenes. As former senior pastor, Vaagenes is pleased at the repentance and reconciliation he has witnessed among the church since the second campus closed. “A positive thing about the closing of the doors of the church is that it led the people to examine their own hearts and lives,” he said. “It brought cleansing, especially in those at the hotel. Attitudes were made right.” Vaagenes now feels a “spirit of forgive-
ness and love” in the congregation. He also thanks many churches across the world for their prayers. “News of the division and closing of North Height’s doors spread and grew rapidly — many churches in the Twin Cities and other parts of the country, and other countries as well, were praying earnestly because North Heights’ ministry is known globally as a major renewal center, not only among Lutherans but other denominations as well,” he said. Vaagenes prays for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit, leading to revival. During his four decades of pastoring North Heights, he saw the church grow from 500 to 7,500 members and oversaw the addition of its large second campus in Arden Hills, opened in 1986. “Part of the vision for the future is to restore the vision as a major renewal center,” he said.

Mahtomedi nixes consolidation petition BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
MAHTOMEDI — The Mahtomedi School Board effectively ended a citizen petition to consolidate the Stillwater and Mahtomedi school districts at its board meeting April 14. Board members cited concern for providing the best education possible for its own students as its reasoning to reject the consolidation. “As much as I feel sorry for the turmoil in Stillwater’s school district, I don’t feel that a small group of people that are unhappy with the outcome there should influence what is going on in Mahtomedi,” said Board Member Kevin Donovan. “We are ranked so high,” said Board Member Judith Schwartz. “I have no interest in diluting the outcomes of our kids by having to start over by bringing in a whole pile of other kids and fighting about what the district boundaries are going to be. “I want to continue to support and to represent the families in Mahtomedi and I have no interest in representing Stillwater. I will partner with them as needed, as we do with our certain services that benefit both of us,” said Schwartz. Board Member Julie McGraw cited the district’s ideal school sizes as something she wants to maintain, and she believes other community members do as well. “I believe the voters of this school district place a high value on the size of our schools,” she said. “Consolidating with Stillwater would not be in our best interest.” Chair Lucy Payne said consolidation would put the
district’s effort at closing its achievement gap at risk. She also thought it would negatively affect some of Mahtomedi’s programs such as theater, music, pottery and engineering, which have had significant amounts of time and money invested in them. “To take some of those programs and try to expand them to a larger environment would not have the same results,” said Payne. “I think we worked very hard, especially our staff, and our teachers and our administration, to make us what we are today. I would hate to see that change in a way that would not benefit our students as greatly as they are benefited now.” The motion not to consolidate passed unanimously by the school board. Board members Mike Chevalier and Mary Jo Deters were absent. The rejected petition’s journey comes to a close A petition from citizens in both districts was received by Washington County in January, after the Stillwater School Board voted to close three elementary schools in the district. The plan would have allowed for the districts to share resources and possibly keep Marine, Oak Park, and Withrow elementary schools open. The petition was forwarded to the Minnesota Department of Education. A public hearing on the petition was held with Commissioner of Education Brenda Cassellius March 16. Cassellius subsequently approved the school boards to vote on the consolidation plans. The final decision rested with the school boards. “If the board of either district rejects the plan, the proceedings are terminated and dismissed,” wrote Minnesota Commissioner of Education Brenda Cassel-
DISTRICT 832 SCHOOL BOARD NOTES
lius in a letter to Washington County Auditor Kevin Corbid March 21. Cassellius also provided additional information on how the districts could address debt, levies, capital loan obligations and election of school board members, since the petition did not include any such information. “Stillwater recently passed a 90 million dollar bond that would be absorbed by the taxpayers of Mahtomedi [if the districts agreed to consolidation],” said Mahtomedi Superintendent Mark Larson. As commissioner, Cassellius “was required by law to make a decision on whether the consolidation proposal brought forth by the public petition met the minimum requirements in law,” wrote Josh Collins, director of communications for the Minnesota Department of Education, in an email. “It should not be considered an endorsement or approval of the consolidation itself. […] If either board rejects the proposal or fails to take action within the specified time period, the process is terminated.” Mahtomedi previously passed a resolution opposing the consolidation at a March 10 meeting. “We actually have to pass a second motion in terms of looking at it after the hearing, in order to be in the letter of the law,” said Payne. The board has now fully rejected the proposal and no consolidation will occur. A special election will not be held, according to Minnesota statute, because the idea was never brought forth by the school boards, said Larson. “This has not been a topic of conversation with the Stillwater and Mahtomedi school districts,” said Larson.
DISTRICT 624 SCHOOL BOARD NOTES
The District 832 School Board took the following action at its April 14 meeting: • Held a fi rst reading on one changed and one new policy — graduation requirements and food service student account management. The graduation requirements policy changed to include Minnesota graduation requirements in terms of science and social studies requirements. The new food service student account management policy will clarify procedures for notifying families when lunch accounts become low. Among the management is student notification and an email alert option for families when balance hits $10. When the balance becomes $10 in the negative, contact with parents and guardians will be made. If the balance hits $50 in the negative, a courtesy meal of milk and cereal for breakfast and milk and a sandwich for lunch will be offered. Families may apply for free or reduced lunches at any time. • Held a second reading on annually reviewed policies and four additional policies — conflict of interest, enrollment of nonresident students, instructional curriculum and fund balance. In its conflict of interest policy is added staff as those not allowed to participate in “the selection, award or administration of a contract supported by federal award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest,” said Superintendent Mark Larson. In its enrollment policy it added a third way to check residency. “In order to determine the eligibility of residency, voting records in the most recent election may be required,” said Larson. It also added information from the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) on requirements that students have only one residence. The homes last occupied by both parents is considered the family's residence. In the instructional curriculum policy the school board separated math and science in its list of required subject areas. In the fund balance policy the school board softened language for measures to take if the fund balance fell below 8 percent. It granted itself the ability to make budget cuts if the fund balance falls below 8 percent, instead of 7 percent. • Approved a resolution for an abatement bond sale regarding parking lot reconstruction. The parking lots at O.H. Anderson Elementary, the District Education Center and the west parking lot of the high school will begin construction this summer. Construction of parking lots at the middle school and the east parking lot of the high school will take place in 2017. After construction of all lots is complete, any remaining balance of the $8.1 million bond will be refunded to taxpayers. • Approved an advertisement for bids for the parking lots to be reconstructed in 2016. • Approved nine licensed personnel to move from probationary status to continuing contract status for the 2016-2017 school year. • Approved employment for 17 licensed personnel to continue to be employed on probationary status for the 2016-2017 school year. • Approved termination and nonrenewal of three probationary teaching contracts. Superintendent Mark Larson cited fi nancial reasons for the terminations and nonrenewals. • Approved a proposal to place one staff on unrequested leave of absence. Larson cited fi nancial reasons for the unrequested leave of absence. • Approved revisions to the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school district calendars. Changes included moving a staff development day to a Friday before President's Day, held on a Monday in February. This allows for a four-day weekend, which is more “family friendly,” said Larson. • Approved a resolution relating to 2016-2017 open enrollment. It approved six sibling-preference students for kindergarten, kept a waiting list for fi rstthrough fi fth-grades, approved 14 applicants for sixth grade, approved all seven applicants for seventh grade, approved all four applicants for eighth grade, approved all four applicants for ninth grade, approved all five applicants for 10th grade, and approved one applicant for 11th grade. • Approved a resolution not to consolidate with the Stillwater School District. Sara Marie Moore
The District 624 board took the following action at its April 11 meeting: • Held a fi rst reading on changes to the following school board policies: Student Sex Nondiscrimination, regarding changing the grievance reporting procedure notification person from “principal” to “responsible person,” to include buildings where no principal is on site; Organization of School Calendar and School Day, regarding inclusion of reference to school hours as well as days; Policies Incorporated by Reference, regarding the additional inclusion of employees in the policy; Religion, regarding an addition of reference to an addendum, which outlines how the superintendent should monitor whether religion has neither been advanced nor prohibited in its study. • Awarded bids for a ceiling and lighting replacement project at the White Bear Lake Area High School north campus to CFK Construction in the amount of $402,000. Board member Don Mullin opposed the action. • Moved to award contracts to Twin City Transportation and Treasured Transportation for student transportation services in Type III vehicles, such as vans, for two years. District administration will complete the formal contracts and present them for approval at the May 9 school board meeting. • Adopted the following school board policies: Legal Status of the School District, regarding its distinctiveness as a legal entity and that it is not subordinate or subservient to counties or municipalities; Name of the School District, regarding an official designation to clarify the name of the school district as White Bear Lake Area Public Schools; Equal Educational Opportunity, regarding minor updates on wording; Complaints – Students, Employees and Parents, regarding minor updates on wording.

Financial Management Are you new to budgeting? If so, you probably think that the word “budgeting” is a euphemism for depriving yourself. Fortunately, that’s not the case. Budgets are tools that make it easier to be conscious about how you’re spending money. Regardless of whether you are a student, a working adult, or a retiree, budgeting can help you think critically about where your money is flowing. Here are a few things that you should keep in mind when you are creating your budget:

Your emergency fund is simply money that you set aside for a rainy day such as if you lose your job, if your car breaks, or if your roof starts leaking. Ideally, this should represent at least three to six months’ worth of your expenses. This way if you lose your job in the same week that your car and roof both break, you’ll still be okay.
2. Are you aggressively paying down debt? High interest debt in particular is something that you should focus your efforts and energy upon. Lower interest debts such as your home mortgage aren’t as much of a concern.
3. Are you saving for big ticket items? You’ll want specific, targeted funds for major expenses such as a wedding, a down payment on a home, holiday gifts, vacations, and paying cash for your next car? If not, you may want to create funds for these as well. There are many ways that you can set up a budget. At the most basic level, you can create one with simply paper and pen. There are also a handful of different online software options that you could choose from, some of which are free and some of which are not. There is no right or wrong answer regarding how simple/ complex your budget should be, and what tools you should use.

“THE JUNGLE BOOK”
— Stunning special effects dominate this suspenseful, family-oriented, entertaining, colorful, 3-D, 105-minute remake of the 1967 animated film based on Rudyard Kipling’s classic novel in which an orphaned Indian boy (Neel Sethi) who was raised by a wolf pack (voiceovers by Lupita Nyong’o, Giancarlo Esposito et al.) is protected by a panther (voiceover by Ben Kingsley), a honey-loving grizzly bear (voiceover by Bill Murray), and other animal friends when a sneaky boa constrictor (voiceover by Scarlett Johansson), a gargantuan orangutan (voiceover by Christopher Walken) and a revenge-driven tiger (voiceover by Idris Elba) threaten the boy’s life as he journeys to return to his own kind; may be too scary for young children.
