It’s official: 2019 ice-out declared
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Wind and rain had its usual effect on lake ice. White Bear Lake’s resident ice-out historian declared the lake open Thursday morning, April 18. Jan Holtz Kraemer said ice was still under the Manitou Island bridge Wednesday night but gone the next morning after a day of rain. Last year ice-out was declared May 4, which tied the record set in 1950 for latest date. The mean ice-out date is April 15. The date proved beneficial for the area
food shelf. Since no one in her family contest came close to guessing the correct day, Holtz Kraemer will present a small check to the food shelf, per contest rules. The White Bear native has recorded ice-out dates since 2001, taking over for longtime recorder and barber Benny Schmalzbauer. The downtown barbershop and the White Bear Press are always the recordkeeper’s fi rst two calls. Debra Neutkens

Lake level lawsuit: Appeals court reverses district court decision BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Ice-out activity
Above: Only days after White Bear Lake was officially declared free of ice, Jeremy Howard, Rosie Burns and Lyman Howard, at left, took a chilly dip in the water near Memorial Beach Saturday, April 20. White Bear Lake’s resident ice-out historian Jan Holtz Kraemer declared the lake open Thursday morning, April 18.
ST. PAUL — The Court of Appeals reversed the 2017 district court decision in the lake level lawsuit, writing that common-law public-trust doctrine applies to navigable waters and not groundwater withdrawals. Presiding judge John Rodenberg issued the April 22 opinion, writing that the district court erred by allowing respondents' claims to proceed under Minn. Stat. 116B.03, which pertains to civil action. “Minn. Statute 116B.10 provides the proper remedy for challenged actions taken pursuant to a DNR permit,” read the decision. The lawsuit, filed late 2012 by the White Bear Lake Restoration Association and White Bear Lake Homeowners Association, claimed the DNR violated MERA and the public trust doctrine by making water-appropriation decisions that lowered the level of White Bear Lake. District Judge Margaret Marrinan sided with the plaintiffs, ruling that permitting of high capacity wells and mismanagement of the lake and aquifer violated both MERA and the public trust, a law binding the state to protect its natural resources on
citizens' behalf. The DNR, represented by the attorney general's office, argued in appellate court Jan. 24 that the lawsuit should have been brought under Section 10 of MERA. The appellants argued that the district court erred by allowing respondents to pursue claims under Statute 116B.03 regarding groundwater appropriation permits. Attorneys for White Bear Township, an intervenors in the case on the side of the DNR, had argued that point regarding administrative process early on in the trial. “Our position and the state's position is that the plaintiffs were ultimately challenging the permits,” attorney Chad Lemmons explained in an earlier article. “Since action on the permits was the ultimate goal of the plaintiffs, it should have been brought under Section 116B.10 and not 116B.03. Minnesota Statute 116B.10 provides the proper remedy for challenged actions taken pursuant to a DNR permit.” “To be sure, the lake and aquifer are hydrologically connected,” wrote Judge Rodenberg. “That is why MERA applies to the groundwater. But that does not make groundwaSEE APPEAL, PAGE 9A

Anti-plastic campaign ready to launch on lake
SUBMITTED
The signs could look like this mockup.
WHITE BEAR LAKE — A member of the lake conservation district is hoping new signs will curb the six-pack rings, straws, bags, bottles and other plastic waste floating in White Bear Lake. Board member Scott Costello is heading the anti-plastic educational campaign. He and his daughter Kim, a professional graphic designer, collaborated on artwork for the 12-by-18-inch signs. The draft design will accompany a letter to cities, counties and marinas around the lake, encouraging them to participate in the district's anti-plastic campaign by posting signs at beaches, boat launches and parks.
Costello is working with MnDOT's sign shop to produce the signs, which will be offered at no charge. He hopes to have them installed by midsummer. “The guy from the sign shop says signs like this will last at least 20 years,” Costello said. “Perhaps by that time, there will be changes in the use of single-use plastics that will make the sign obsolete. The point is not to coerce people into not littering plastic, but to educate the public about the long duration of plastic waste and to shape the social norm about caring for our shared lake.” Debra Neutkens
CORRECTION Jill Engwer was incorrectly referred to as a White Bear Lake Area Schools school board member in the article “Single high school, new elementary possible answer to growing enrollment” April 17. She is a facilities committee member but not a school board member. Also, Tim Wald is assistant superintendent for finance and operations, not superintendent of finance and operations.
NAMES IN THE NEWS MidCountry Bank is a proud partner with Habitat for Humanity. The bank provided funding and sweat equity to complete the first veteran build with Habitat April 3. White Bear banker Robert Morse, vice president, said the project resulted in homeownership for a veteran family in St. Cloud. White Bear Lake native Gen. Paul M. Nakasone is keynote speaker at the Florida Center for Cybersecurity conference Oct. 25 in Tampa. Nakasone commands the U.S. Army's Cyber Command, is director of the National Security Agency and chief of the Central Security Service. A member of the Medora Musical cast is from White Bear Lake.

Friend to community will be missed A familiar face is gone from the Willernie/Mahtomedi area. David Robert Letourneau, 67, affectionately known as Smiley, died April 17 from cancer. Smiley was known for his good deeds around town, sweeping and shoveling snow from sidewalks and doing random chores without being asked. Ox & Crow Coffeehouse co-owner Bruce Peacock wrote on Facebook that he will miss Smiley's vast knowledge of Mahtomedi and Willernie history, his master gardening techniques for raising a better tomato and his uplifting attitude. Smiley was a regular at the coffee shop. Mark Youngblood wrote on Facebook he last saw Smiley April 11 when he gave him a ride to Freedom in the snowstorm. “He will be missed,” Youngblood wrote.
Smiley's sister Janet said her brother was “a quiet, gentle guy who on a day to day level made an impact. He was a true reminder that small things make a difference.” Smiley is preceded in death by parents Shirley and Francis. Survived by siblings Char (Jim) Bonse, Dar (Norm Friedman) Johnson, Jerry, Dick, Janet (Chuck) Anderson, Netty, Dean, Kris (Mike) Remore, Carol (Mark) Smelik, and John; and many nieces and nephews. Celebration of Life is 2 p.m. Friday, April 26 at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church Great Hall, 900 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi, with visitation one hour prior. Fellowship Gathering to follow from 3-4:30 p.m. Arrangements by Sandberg Funeral Home.

Thank you
hile waiting in line for an ice cream cone at a local establishment the other day, the server handed a cone to a young adult who took it without saying “thank you.” I noticed because it is so unusual for someone in that type of interaction to simply walk away without any acknowledgement or even a quick thanks. Perhaps the person forgot or was distracted. It got me to thinking about the importance of our every day interactions. More often as I go about my day in this community, I see people smiling at each other, offering to hold open doors and engaging in kind little gestures. We all try to teach our children etiquette and model good manners, and for the most part, the youth I talk to are polite. It’s a reminder that a show of appreciation or a small act of kindness is noticed more than we may ever know; it’s absence is noticed, too. This brief experience also made me think about how often I say “thank you.” How do I say it to our staff here at Press Publisher’s regularly Publications, our carriers who deliver the papers each week, our customers who partner View with us through their marketing efforts, and Carter Johnson our loyal readers? Probably not enough. There is a lot that goes into producing the newspaper every single week. Here at Press Publications, our goal is to instill good values in the products we publish: weekly reporting of local government, school board meetings, feature stories, community, church and business briefs, our calendar of events, and much more.

Our circulation team handles the massive task of ensuring the delivery of tens of thousands of papers to homes and newsstands each week. Thank you to our staff and drivers – Lisa, Brianna, Jim, Pat and Frank who get the papers into the hands of our carriers who get it to you. We work with more than 100 youth and adult carriers who partner with us as independent contractors. Thank you to all of them, along with their families, for their perseverance in getting the paper to our readers, especially when outside conflicts arise or weather creates challenges. Being a newspaper carrier is a great learning experience, but it isn’t an easy job. Most cerntainly, thank you to our readers. You expect high standards for your community paper. Whether you are a subscriber or not, if you read your local paper you are helping to ensure that the dissemination of local news stays relevant. Our readers tend to show more interest in what is happening around them and engage in the community. And when people are engaged even in some small way, it contributes to a better place to live and work for all of us. Thank you to our readers for recognizing the importance of local news. Twice a year we ask that you invest in the local newspaper with a subscription. Advertising and subscriptions are our only means to keep experienced, professionally-trained journalists writing the local news, designers to create the product, and delivery personnel who work so hard to get it to you.

We are always doing things to keep our rate increases to a minimum and haven’t had an increase in our subscriptions for years. This fall we plan to increase rates a little to keep up.

Students’ leadership on mental wellness inspires school community
A
s educators, we experience the amazing gift of reciprocal learning with our students. At Mahtomedi Public Schools, this gift is evident right now as our students lead adults to the table to discuss mental wellness. At our School Board meeting on March 28, I had the privilege to hear from Mahtomedi Middle School students, Grace and Movers & Newman Teri Schifsky. Grace and Teri Shakers are seventhBarb Duffrin grade students at Mahtomedi Middle School and recently organized and facilitated a Mental Wellness month for their peers (their work was featured in an article in the White Bear Press on April 10). The project was in the works for a year and the students partnered with National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Minnesota and the Youth Service Bureau. The students’ project focused on three main themes: make it okay, what is normal versus when you need to ask for help, and how to be mentally well. I was struck by the
depth of their work, which was both clear and nuanced as they highlighted “mental illness is not an adjective.” During the week of April 8, our Student Leadership Council at the High School organized a week to raise awareness and reduce the stigma of mental health issues that students face. The week culminated in an all-school assembly where Scott Moen (class of 2008) and three students from the class of 2019 shared their stories of remarkable resilience in working through mental health challenges. It was an incredible moment to witness -nearly 1200 teenagers completely engaged and supportive of their peers. Each story was unique as was their journey to recovery. Their vulnerability in coming before their peers gave messages of hope that “it will get better” and that others are ready and willing to help you because “you are not alone.” The students’ leadership have inspired adults to action. Our families and the greater community have demonstrated their commitment to mental wellness through the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation (MAEF) Fund-A-Need (FAN). Each year, as part of the Legacy Night celebration, the MAEF Board of Trustees selects an
innovative educational proposal which has the potential to impact students of all ages. This year’s FAN donations will support Mahtomedi Public School’s proposal for improving student mental wellness supports beginning in the 2019-20 school year. MAEF funds will support the school district’s goal to improve mental wellness for ALL Mahtomedi students through: supporting wellness education speakers and programs for students and parents/guardians, providing mental health assessment training for school educators and staff, and ensuring access to in-school, mental health counseling for all students by providing co-pay assistance to families with need. At the annual Legacy Night, MAEF raised over $50,000 to assist the district in providing mental health supports. If you feel moved by this work, you may make a donation at www.maefgives.org Through education and a commitment to one another, our students are helping our school community come together on a vital issue in student education and I am so grateful for their leadership and teaching. Barb Duffrin is superintendent, Mahtomedi Public Schools.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Treatt all T ll same ffor one-way I’ll agree with those wishing to turn Bald Eagle Boulevard into a one-way street if they will agree that all modes of transit, autos, pedestrians, bikes, and others be one-way. If one-way is required of autos, it should be required of walkers and bikers also. No discrimination by transit type. The other requirement is that all users buy a license to use the roadway and pathway. Proceeds to go to the township for upkeep. No free rides. Leonard Lorence White Bear Lake
Mi i plates Missing l t make k for bland bureau During a recent trip to the White Bear Lake License Bureau, I was very disappointed to see that the city removed the colorful and fun personalized license plates created for the wonderful bureau staff. The plates uniquely acknowledge the dedicated Bureau employees and the other “local” decor in the office made it feel like White Bear Lake. The bland beige wallpaper might fit with the aesthetic of the bureau managers, but it does not reflect the spirit of our great community and bureau staff who work hard every day to be efficient, kind, courteous and patient. Bring back the plates! They were a fun source of conversation for those of us in waiting in line, to discuss with each other and with the staff. I’ve spoken to the staff: they miss them, and the customers do, too! The bureau staff deserve the individual recognition conferred by the plates, and bureau customers want the office to be colorful, personalized and special — just like our town. Mary Kay Sobcinski White Bear Lake
Traffic would significantly increase with one-way SUBMITTED
Pothole makes boulevard a one way.
Bald Eagle Boulevard already a one-way My thoughts on the one-way road is consistent with the letters printed April 10, except for one observation. As the picture shows, we have only one usable portion available now: in essence, a one-way road. Mission accomplished, Ramsey County! Dave Brockel White Bear Township
I have been reading the walking path articles and the letters to the editor about turning the road around Bald Eagle into a one-way. I know this would be popular and a much safer option for those wanting to walk the lake. However, around 1999-2002, the township had several town hall meetings about this same idea. Plus, it spent thousands of dollars to hire a professional company to study the traffic flow changes that would occur if a oneway was implemented. Those studies showed that emergency vehicles would have trouble getting to some homes, thus increase response times. They also showed several roads, including mine,
th t would ld h i ificantt iincrease that have a signifi in traffic. I live on Anderlie Lane West, which would become a shortcut for any cars traveling between downtown and north of Bald Eagle Lake. I would ask the White Bear Press to publish the results of those traffic studies again. I know they are over 10 years old, but the same studies, done today, would only show traffic has increased because the neighborhoods north of Bald Eagle Lake have grown. Either way, there is no doubt traffic would be changed due to a one-way and those of us living in neighborhoods off Bald Eagle Lake could expect an increase in traffic. So, before we just make Bald Eagle Boulevard a one-way or even test it out, let’s make sure we understand the impact on all streets and neighborhoods. The township did a great job back then understanding what this would do and listening to all residents. I hope they would do it again. Andy Rausch White Bear Lake
Funds target election security An insecure election system creates cynicism and disruption and can readily sow disorder at the very foundation of a democratic society. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have stated publicly that Russian government cyber actors targeted most, if not all, state election networks leading up to the presidential election in 2016. Congress passed and President Trump signed the 2018 Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which appropriated federal funds to states for election cyber security. Minnesota is eligible to receive $6.6 million in HAVA funding. It is the only state to fail to authorize its secretary of state to access those federal funds. Key state legislators promised to pass legislation under HF 14/SF 241 authorizing the state to use its HAVA funds to
t th election l ti security it iin Mi strengthen Minnesota. The legislation is in conference committee and the House and Senate positions, at least from the outside looking in at this point in the 2019 legislative session, appear largely intractable and irreconcilable. A secure statewide election system is much too important to lose these funds. Minnesotans must contact House and Senate conferees, Representatives Nelson, Dehn and Vogel, and Senators Kiffmeyer, Koran and Howe, and our own White Bear Lake Area legislators to express support for authorizing access to the full $6.6 million in HAVA funding. Lisa Larson Dellwood
Dear WBL School District Someone should tell whomever is in charge of the South Campus High School football field that the stadium lights have been left on every night this week until 10 p.m. when no one is playing on the field. Not too environmentally friendly, not to mention senseless waste of taxpayer dollars. I don’t know about you, but I turn the lights out when I leave a room. But I guess you don’t pay the Xcel Energy bill. Cynthia Moritz White Bear Lake
Make South Shore Boulevard streets wider Why not resurface, repair and make streets as wide as possible, make a bike path on the side closest to the lake, and keep the speed limit at 25 mph? Logic should always prevail. County Road F really needs resurfacing soon. Jo Haus Birchwood Editor’s note: this letter is rerunning to name South Shore as the intended street.

Former lacrosse coach on probation for sending obscene photos to student WHITE BEAR LAKE — A former girls lacrosse coach was given a stay of adjudication April 17 for sending obscene photos to a student on the boys lacrosse team last summer Amber Joi Cron, 21, of Forest Lake, pleaded guilty in February to misdemeanor indecent exposure, according
to court records. Two charges for distributing obscene materials and indecent exposure to a minor were dropped. She was placed on probation for one year. If she successfully completes the terms of her probation, a conviction will not be placed on her records. Terms of her probation include no
contact with the victim, no similar incidents and not using any non-prescription drugs. She will have to write a letter a year from now regarding her progress. According to the criminal complaint filed last year, a 14-year-old boy reported Cron sent him photos on Snapchat of
cleavage and her exposed breast. Cron was a coach for the White Bear Lake girls team but the boy helped the managers on the team. The boy unfollowed her on Snapchat after the incident and reported it to the school district. Sara Marie Moore
RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Department reported the following incidents:
Vadnais Heights • This thief was too early. The rental payment drop box was stolen overnight March 29 at a complex in the 3400 block of Labore Road. The thief missed the checks from tenants who tend to drop off checks last-minute on the fi nal day or two of the month. • It was an expensive night out for diners April 7. While they were in the restaurant in the 1000 block of County Road E, a prowler stole a phone and laptop computer from their vehicle in the lot. No other information was provided. • Deputies responded to a report of a fight inside a vehicle in the parking lot of a chicken restaurant April 9 in the 900 block of County Road E. A 48-year-old St. Paul man was arrested for assaulting a 78-year-old man, also from St. Paul, on a domestic assault charge.
• Three hours later, deputies were called to a fight inside a vehicle in the Walmart parking lot on County Road E. The vehicle had left the scene but was stopped and the driver, a 28-year-old St. Paul woman, was charged with driving after license cancellation. • Mail containing a check was stolen the afternoon of April 10 from a curbside box in the 3700 block of Centerville Road. The check was later altered and cashed. No word on whether the red flag was up. • A male shoplifter grabbed clothing the morning of April 11 at Walmart, fleeing the scene on foot. No suspects. • The rear driver’s side window of a vehicle parked at a multihousing complex lot in the 1000 block of County Road D was smashed the afternoon of April 13 and thousands of charitable gaming tickets went missing. No suspects.
White Bear Township • A homeowner in the 5600 block of Hugo Road placed their tax return and check in their curbside box for payment the morning of April 9 and raised the red flag to alert the USPS. The fl ag also alerted a mail thief. Less than 30 minutes later, both the return and check were gone. • A 66-year-old local man was taken into custody April 12 in the 5600 block of Otter View Trail and jailed on a warrant for his arrest. • An aggressive shoplifter was spotted and approached by security staff the morning of April 13 at Cub Foods, in the 1000 block of Meadowlands Drive. The suspect assaulted the male staffer and made tracks. He was later identified as a 47-yearold St. Paul man and mailed a citation for theft and assault.
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 Dellwood woman, 65, was reported for failing to stop at a school bus stop arm in the 50 block of Glen Edge Road at 12:29 p.m. April 12.
Grant • A resident in the 6000 block of Jasmine Avenue N. on April 8 reported one of the trees in his backyard cut with a saw, accompanied by a dead wood duck also found in the backyard. The complainant thought the fi ndings were related and smacked of teen-aged boy activity. The complainant had a particular teenager in mind and was given a case number if he had any more information to give Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies about the tree, the duck or the teenager. • A Scandia man, 28, was cited April 10 on eastbound 75th Street N. at Manning Avenue for passing on the right where prohibited and failure to provide proof of insurance after westbound deputies observed the motorist pass another vehicle on the shoulder. The driver told deputies that the vehicle in front of him had its turn signal on but slammed on the brakes and continued straight instead. The subject said he veered onto the shoulder and sped up to avoid a collision. Deputies quickly advised the driver that the near miss would not have occurred had he not been following too closely and speeding. The driver also
provided an expired insurance card. • A juvenile motorist was issued a verbal warning for speeding 67 mph in a 55 mph zone April 10 in the 9000 block of 75th Street N. while the roads were slushy with falling snow. The youth said he was taking his brother to school for a trip. • A resident in the 9000 block of 68th Street N. on April 10 reported selling a bed on Craigslist for $300 to a buyer who sent a $1,790 cashier's check drawn on a bank in New York with extra money to “pay the movers.” As the complainant still has the bed and the check, deputies advised her to return the check so that she would not be accused of stealing the check and to block the buyer. • A resident in the 9000 block of Keswick Avenue N. on April 11 reported someone attempted to open two credit cards in her name and used her landline number to do it. The complainant was initially not out any money before she contacted all the relevant fi nancial institutions. However, the next day she was contacted by Capitol One, advising her that nine new transactions totaling $2,715.60 were made the day before on that card. The card was canceled, and the complainant was not held responsible for any of the charges. • A student reported the theft of a baseball from a secure locker room locker at school in the 8000 block of 75th Street N. on April 12. • A resident in the 9000 block of Justen Trail N. on April 13 reported her credit card was stolen and used twice
in Minneapolis and St. Paul to the tune of $72 and $55, respectively. The complainant told deputies she was not in those cities on that day. The complainant contacted her bank to cancel the card and get a new number. • A resident in the 7000 block of Jocelyn Road N. on April 14 reported fi nding mail belonging to a Woodbury resident and a Mahtomedi resident while she was out on her walk. Deputies contacted the two victims to return their mail.
Mahtomedi • Public works employees reported fi nding a wallet on the Streetcar Trail in the 1000 block of Lincolntown Avenue early April 9. Deputies used the driver's license inside to return the wallet to its owner. • A Mahtomedi man, 26, was cited April 10 for fourth-degree criminal damage to property owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation in the 900 block of Mahtomedi Avenue after deputies observed the man in the act of vandalizing the property. The subject was also reported two days later for damaging private property in the same block. • A resident in the 70 block of Dahlia Street on April 12 reported his stepdaughter for having a party while he was out of town. Items were stolen during the party. • An employee of the BP gas station in the 3000 block of Century Avenue N. on April 12 reported abandoned items left between the dumpster and car
wash and thinks a homeless person might be living on the property. • A St. Paul man, 46, was cited April 13 on Spruce Place and East County Line Road for driving after revocation and failure to provide proof of insurance after deputies conducted a license plate check and discovered the plates had been flagged for impound. • A St. Paul man, 18, was cited at 1:17 a.m. April 14 on eastbound Stillwater Road and Ideal Avenue N. for driving on an expired driver's license after deputies on stationary patrol on Stillwater Road and Warner Avenue observed the vehicle fail to stop at the stop sign at that intersection. During the traffic stop, deputies detected the odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle. The motorist admitted to drinking two shots of vodka two hours before meeting with deputies. The field sobriety test administered to the driver indicated no impairment, however.
Pine Springs • If he can be located, a South St. Paul man, 24, will be cited for fourth-degree damage to property and for failure to notify the owner of damaged property after a collision after his car left the road in the 3000 block of Oakdale Drive and drove a significant distance to the backyard of a property. The driver clearly tried to get the vehicle out but was unsuccessful and fled the scene. Deputies tried to track footprints in the snow, but with negative results. The vehicle was towed.

Summer means road construction for areas of township WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Road projects were whittled down to four areas for this summer's construction season. The Town Board accepted a feasibility report April 15 for the Hobe Lane and Hobe Court area; Parkview Drive and Fenway Court; Weston Woods Way area and White Bear Parkway from Oakmede Lane to Otter Lake Road. The cost is estimated at $1.15 million for the road improvements, which mostly involve mill and overlay and minor utility repairs. TKDA engineer Larry Poppler said the streets had poor ratings, mostly 2.2 on a 1 to 5 scale, and were highly degraded. The projects are “incredibly expensive,” Poppler told supervisors, noting full reconstruction is needed for Fourth and Fifth Streets, so those improvements, estimated to cost $1.5 million, will have to wait. The township will bond for the project. Assessments are unknown at this point but will vary for benefitting property owners depending on their location. The Weston Woods Way area is most expensive at an estimated $340,000. Neighborhood meetings to discuss the projects will be held late May. A public hearing is also set for 6:30 p.m. June 4 at Otter Lake Elementary. A larger venue was reserved in anticipation of a larger crowd. Construction would start late summer.
Town Clerk Pat Christopherson noted the project is running into a time crunch for the construction season. He recommended the engineering firm proceed with plans and specifications, and the board agreed. The work will be bid as one project. Many of the roads on the list were constructed or improved in the ’90s. “Our streets need to get fixed,” said Supervisor Steve Ruzek. In other action at the April 15 meeting, the board: • Granted a lakeshore variance request to Tom Fiutak and Colet Lahoz, 5770 West Bald Eagle Blvd., for a second-story addition on their home's southwest corner. The addition is within the footprint of the existing home. Two variances were required: an 18.52-foot lakeshore setback and 8.25-foot right-of-way setback. • Heard a first-quarter construction report from building inspector Mike Johnson. Three new home permits valued at $920,000 were issued first quarter. The homes are located in the Three Oaks Development. Last year at this time, four permits were issued for a total value of $1 million. Two permits were issued for commercial construction valued at $1.9 million. One of those permits was the $1.7 million addition/remodel of Water Gremlin in March. Ruzek noted that this was not for anything new other
than for Water Gremlin to get back in operation per the agreement with the state. Last year, three commercial permits were issued for $2.2 million first quarter. When including miscellaneous residential and commercial permits, the first quarter total is 53 permits valued at just over $3.5 million. Last year, the number was 76 permits at just over $4.5 million. • Reappointed Kent Brunner to a three-year term on the Economic Development Advisory Board. • Reappointed Stephen Lee, Richard Bruckner and Connie Anderson and appointed Mark Griffin to threeyear terms on the Public Safety Commission. • Reappointed Curt Akenson, Patricia Lee and Salena Koster to the Park Board. • Reappointed David Kotilinek and Monica Loes to the Planning Commission. • Reappointed Nancy Pehrson and Paul Groschen to the Utility Commission. All terms expire April 30, 2022. • Agreed to change Sherwood Road, a state aid road, to a county road at the request of Ramsey County for funding reasons. The road sign will be changed to County Road 87. • Received an updated plan for a new garage at 5508 West Bald Eagle Blvd. No action was taken. Debra Neutkens

Loon Chronicles IV: Almost Home For most of April, the Loons and their migratory friends, including Mergansers, Goldeneyes, Grebes, Buffleheads, Canvasbacks, and Trumpeter Swans have been gathering on Goose Lake. Last week, I counted 21 Loons diving and fishing on the west side of the lake. The activity has been all over the map, with courtship behaviors and territorial struggles on full display. Unfortunately, most of the action was out of camera range. I did, however, manage to snap a few fun shots while walking up and down Highway 61. I much prefer shooting from our boat. From Manitou Bridge, I spotted our Loon pair next to a big chunk of ice in Ordway Bay. The geese have already claimed most of the limited nesting habitat in the War Zone. White Bear Lake is really high right now, so there will be serious competition for viable nesting sites. The good news is that Len and Jason Brown launched our manmade Loon nest last Wednesday, just before the big rains set in for two days. The Loon nest experts on Mantrap Lake encouraged Len to get the nest in immediately and as close as possible to last year’s nesting location. We have followed their advice and are hoping for the best. We hope to be out in our boat this weekend. Fingers are crossed that the Loons find the nest before the geese, muskrats, turtles, and/or herons claim it. This is going to be an exciting spring!

Water from White Bear Lake’s 2,400-plus acres is now draining, eventually finding its way to the Mississippi River.
Water now leaving White Bear Lake, headed to Bald Eagle BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — For the first time in 15 years, water is flowing from White Bear Lake into Bald Eagle. Last week, the lake measured 924.8 feet, 6 feet above its historic low of 918.8 feet, set Oct. 4, 2013. “The outlet is set at 923.3 feet, so it's draining. Bald Eagle is getting our water,” noted Mike Parenteau, a member of the White Bear Lake Conservation District and chair of the lake quality committee. The ordinary high water level of the lake is 924.89 feet. According to the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), water hasn't drained out of White Bear Lake since 2004. Kyle Axtell, district project manager, said White Bear Lake's outlet is a pair of culverts that run under the parking lot in Ramsey County's regional park on the north end. Water flows through these culverts to a stormwater pond north of the parking lot, which then discharges through another culvert under the tracks to Ramsey County Ditch 11 (RCD11), a public drainage system managed by the watershed district. “RCD11 was originally constructed to serve as agricultural drainage, as the large wetland tucked between Highways 61 and 96 used to be farmed,” Axtell said. “This is no longer the case, but RCD11 still serves as the outlet for stormwater flows from this area, and for White Bear Lake now that its surface elevation has reached the outlet. RCD11 flows under Hwy. 61, under the railroad tracks adjacent to the highway, and through a residential neighborhood in White Bear Township until it empties into Bald Eagle Lake.” People may not be aware that a large area of the Hwy. 61 commercial corridor in downtown White Bear Lake also flows north through MnDOT's storm sewer and dumps into RCD11, Axtell said. “Much of this area was developed and redeveloped before modern stormwater treatment requirement rules were put into place,” he noted. “Therefore, there is little to no treatment of stormwater runoff currently and RCD11 contributes high concentrations of nutrients and sediment to Bald Eagle Lake.” The watershed district is proposing a $500,000 water quality improvement project to treat the runoff before it enters Bald Eagle, which has seen a great improvement in water quality the past few years. “The RCWD has been working with White Bear Township to develop an iron-enhanced sand filter on township property to treat runoff from the RCD11

watershed before it enters Bald Eagle,” Axtell said. “I spoke to its Park Board April 18 (it recommended the project move forward) and hope to have a project agreement in place with the Town Board next month.” The project location is just west of Four Seasons Park on open space owned by the township, Axtell said. “It’s a nearly $500,000 project and we have already secured a $392,000 Clean Water Fund grant from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources to help build it. Matching funds for the grant would come from the RCWD. The RCWD is not asking White Bear Township to contribute financially, just to provide the land.” Design would happen later this year and construction is expected in 2020. “We have done a lot of work in the Bald Eagle Lake area in the last decade,” Axtell said, “and we've seen great strides in water clarity. This project will further that effort.” Bald Eagle Lake, by the way, drains into Clearwater Creek, which flows to Peltier Lake. Overflow then finds its way through the Rice Creek Chain to the Mississippi River.

ter 'navigable.' Precipitation also supplies water the the lake, but that fact does not make area rain barrels 'navigable.'” Some issues were not addressed. The court recognized that the appellants raised other arguments, but “because we reverse and remand on the application of Statute 116B.03 and reverse the district court's application of the public trust doctrine, we do not address those issues further,” Rodenberg said. The three-judge panel was not unanimous in the decision, with one judge, Diane Bratvold, dissenting in a lengthy 18-page opinion of her own. The White Bear Lake Restoration Association, has 20 days to file a petition to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. Stay tuned for updates.

Kish-Bailey wrote. She added she has accepted a new position as vice president of Advancement of Hope 4 Youth, an organization dedicated to serving youth experiencing homelessness in Anoka County. The food shelf's board of directors is leading the transition and have engaged professional support to fi nd her reAndrea Kish-Bailey placement. “I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the community partners who have supported the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf over the years,” Kish-Bailey wrote. “Without you, the food shelf could not do all that we do to end food insecurity in the White Bear Area. Thank you for the opportunity to work alongside you in service to this wonderful community.”
St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church will hold an educational session on internal overload Sunday, April 28.

Targeted POLITICAL BRIEF
Selective vs. Intrusive
Relied upon
ST. PAUL — An amendment requiring schools be notified of environmental hazards was added to the Senate Omnibus E-12 bill April 9 by Sens. Chuck Wiger (DFL-Maplewood) and Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes). The amendment states: If the Department of Health or Pollution Control Agency notifies a school district, charter school or nonpublic school of environmental hazards that may affect the health of students or school staff, the school must notify school staff, students and parents of the hazards as soon as practicable. The notice must include direction on how to obtain additional information about the hazard, including any actions that may reduce potential harm to those affected by the hazard.
Credibility/ Trust
WHITE BEAR LAKE — In a letter to “Friends of the Food Shelf,” Andrea Kish-Bailey announced she is stepping down from her role as executive director. Her last day will be Saturday, May 11. Making the decision “has been extremely difficult,” she said, and she will miss “our small but mighty food shelf team, our neighbors, volunteers, donors and this very generous community.” Kish-Bailey wrote that she wants to be “more present” in the lives of her three children, who are in middle and high school. “The commute from the food shelf to Blaine has made that challenging,” she indicated. The director feels the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf has made great strides since she took the helm in 2015 “to eliminate barriers that have traditionally limited access to healthy food for families on a low or fi xed income.” Under her leadership, the food shelf has doubled its resources, its volunteers and the number of families served each month. “We have established new and innovative programs that allow us to provide healthy groceries and meaningful support to more local families struggling to make ends meet,”

LOOKING BACK Week of April 21 – April 27, 2019 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.
1919 While the committee appointed by the Commercial Club to try and secure a one-phone system for White Bear has not been doing much talking on the side, they have been extremely busy in the midst of the outward silence. As a result we are to have a one-phone system, and while the rates per phone will be somewhat higher it must be remembered the services will be in some instances more than doubled. Business phone - $3.25, residence – private line $2.25, 2 party line - $1.75, 4 party line $1.50 (zone 1)…
1944 City Manager Holzheid reports the lake level today about 3 ½ inches above the level the state wants. The heavy rains in January and considerable water from two creeks has raised it a bit. A slight trickle is still running over the 12th street weir…Mr. and Mrs. Les Haussner became real property owners last week when they purchased the three Burrows apartments at 810,12,14 First street, just off Clark Avenue. They are comfortable quarters, handy to lake and to businesses and much in demand. It was a good investment…
1969 District 624 teachers Monday proposed a salary and fringe benefit package to the White Bear Lake School
board. According to estimates from the Teachers Association the total 196970 package would cost the taxpayers $1,410,000. Their proposed starting salary is $8,000...August 1, 1968 – 240 union laborers at Reynolds Metal Aluminum Can Plant went on strike. April 18, 1969, the strike ended. It ended with an announcement from Reynolds home office that we plan to close the plant and to move at least a portion of our White Bear Lake equipment to other undetermined locations to serve our customers needs….
1994 White Bear Lake’s Michael Luecke won a gold medal in the 50 meter backstroke at the Special Olympics State meet in Richfield, Minnesota. Michael also took fourth place in the 25 meter freestyle and 25 meter backstroke…

nice to have someone taking care of you. And sometimes (the one not competing) can serve as a pacer.” In all, Drake has done seven 50K races, two 100Ks, two 50-milers and two marathons. Drake said she was inspired by, and learned a lot from, her parents Craig and Gloria, who “always worked hard and played hard, having full careers and fun hobbies,” adding that she grew up camping and sailing with her family. Asked what goals and aspirations she has with this phase of her sports career, Drake said: “I do it mostly for fun. The more I do, the more I learn about other races in amazing places,” she said. “There’s one that circumnavigates Mont Blanc in Europe. Another traverses Réunion island near Madagascar. Trail running brings people together from all over the world, and it’s an incredible way to experience another culture.”
Na
and down Mount Ventoux, where she encountered everything from loose sand, to technical rocky terrain, and even some snow and ice. Fortunately, she is accustomed to running in wintery conditions from her time at the University of Minnesota. “They have a lot of great races in Europe. Trail running is a bigger deal over there, there’s a lot more interest in it,” Drake said. Her fi rst European race was in 2011, when she was studying abroad in Spain. She ran two 5K road races, winning both. Then in 2017, she won the Mont Blanc 10K race, and in 2018, the Cortina Skyrace 20K. Earlier this year, she placed second at the USA 50K Trail Championships in Auburn, California, traversing exceptionally muddy conditions and waist-deep river crossings. This finish qualified her for the World Trail Championships in Portugal in June. Drake is a 2009 graduate of White Bear Lake, where she was coached by Lyle Helke and Patti Percival. She
made all-state in cross country as a junior and senior, set the school record in the 3200, and was on the 4x800 team that also set the school record. Drake went on to run for the Gophers, along with high-school teammate Katie Moraczewski (Edwards). While at Minnesota, she was a cross country team captain and ran at several Big Ten and NCAA meets, and ran the ninth fastest 10K time in school history. The 5-4, 120-pound runner is planning on returning to Minnesota for Grandma’s Marathon in June, where she’ll aim for an Olympic Trials Qualifying time of 2:45. At her fi rst trail race in 2015 – the McKenzie River Trail Race—she met a fellow runner named Tyler Green, to whom she will be married in early June. Green, a middle school teacher, has proven to be a running partner, as well as life partner. “We’ve run several races together but recently have been taking turns with racing and supporting one another. In a lot of these races, you’re running all day and you have to stop and eat and it’s

Near Rachel Drake’s residence in Portland, Oregon, is a stretch of wooded trails irresistible to this lifelong runner. “It’s called Forest Park. It has over 80 miles of single track, with trails that go through beautiful, lush forests,” said Drake. “It’s free-form running. It feels like you’re dancing with the trees.” Those runs in the woods led the former White Bear Lake and Minnesota Gopher harrier to a rewarding new phase of her athletic career — trail running, which are mostly ultra-marathons, with the main perks being great scenic views and lots of travel. “You experience all different terrains,” she said, hearkening to treks through forests, up and down a mountain, on snow, on sand, alongside a river, across an island. Trail running events take place frequently on mountainous terrains, along with some hiking on steeper sections, and are usually on unpaved surfaces or technical terrain. Most events have 200 to 400 entrants including both men and women, but some of the larger ones have up to 1,000. Drake, 27, seems to be at her best when tackling such terrain. In 2018, she won the Cortina Skyrace in Italy, the Waldo 100K through the Willamette National Forest in Oregon, and the Moab Trail Marathon in Utah on desert slick rock, which was also the USA championships and qualified her for the World Long Distance Trail Running Championships in Argentina this November. Currently in her fi fth of eight years pursuing a dual degree MD/PhD program at Oregon Health and Science University, Drake is working toward a career as a physician scientist. “I went to Paris for a scientific conference in March,” Drake said. After the conference, she travelled south to Bedoin and won the Trail du Ventoux in France, which took her up

Traveling teams recognized for sportsmanship Minnesota Youth Athletic Services (MYAS), in partnership with Youth 1st, the Minnesota Timberwolves and other sponsors, teamed up on a sportsmanship initiative for 2019 girls and boys traveling basketball tournament teams. Mahtomedi youth basketball was selected for outstanding sportsmanship during the 2019 MYAS Grade State Basketball Tournaments. Recipients of the Youth 1st Team Awards: Mahtomedi Girls 4th Grade Blue (coached by Doug Wolgamot); 5th Grade Gold (coached by Sara Jespersen); 6th Grade Blue (coached by Dave Muetzel) and 6th Grade Gold (coached by Ryan Erickson). The teams received exemplary scores from officials for their sportsmanship and positive conduct during the tournament. Youth 1st is a non-profit organization headquartered in Owatonna. Its mission is to connect conduct, character and community to youth activity programs. The boys teams were not able to participate in the Grade State tournament due to spring break. MYAS and Youth 1st presented the awards April 15 at Mahtomedi Middle School. Submitted

Bennett King (left) and James Williams have won 19 of 23 matches at No. 1 doubles over two seasons on the White Bear Lake tennis team. They were 16-4 at No. 1 doubles as juniors, making all-conference, and are 3-0 this season. Coach Christine Anderson cites “power and finesse” as keys to their success. “James hits a heavy topspin ball that pushes opponents deep in the court, while Bennett, a former hockey goalie, has great hands and sees the court very well. They have a full court game.” The two senior captains also have a knack for firing up their teammates on the other courts, the coach added. Minnesota’s #1 Volume Toyota Dealer!

Resolution to Withdraw from Joint Powers Agreement After engaging in a multi-year pre-planning process, a Joint Powers Agreement, which was known as the Community Innovation Project, was developed and adopted in 2018 with the goal of improving coordination of services and resources between the City of Saint Paul, the County of Ramsey, Northeast Metro 916 Intermediate School District and Saint Paul Public Schools. In response to concerns from the community of the City of Saint Paul, about the Community Innovation Project, the City of Saint Paul seeks to redevelop the vision for how the entities will work together. It has been determined that the Joint Powers Agreement, and the authorities and tools it contains are no longer appropriate for their work.
www.presspubs.com Withdrew from and terminated the Joint Powers Agreement executed on April 4, 2018. Designation of Identified Official with Authority for the MDE External User Access Recertification System The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) requires that school districts annually designate an Identified Official with Authority to comply with State Access Control Security Standard 1.0 which states that all user access rights to Minnesota state systems must be reviewed and recertified at least annually.

Sewer, water coming to private roads in Mahtomedi BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — For decades, the city and residents have debated whether to install city sewer and water on Bevins Lane, Bichner Lane and Talahi Drive. The decision was made by the City Council April 16 to move forward with plans to bring utilities to these private roads. Following a public hearing, council passed a resolution by a vote of 4-1 (Councilman Jeff Ledermann opposed) ordering a public improvement project for the Bevins Lane, Bichner Lane and Talahi Drive utility extension project and authorizing preparation of fi nal plans and specifications, advertisement of bids and preparation of preliminary proposed assessment roll for pending assessment reporting purposes. The city passed another resolution in keeping with special actions pertaining to petitions. In opposing the project, Ledermann expressed concern about the $1.4 million cost, adding that a sewer line would not prevent contamination of the water table. He also noted that he is speaking on
behalf of all the trees that would be lost due to construction. In voting in favor of the project, Councilman Steve Wolgamot said, “This is something we need to do, even if we do have to pass two resolutions for it.” In 2018, 80% of the residents on Bevins Lane, Bichner Lane and Talahi Drive signed a petition to have city water and sanitary sewer extended to their streets. “This is the fi rst time a valid petition has been signed by this many property owners,” City Engineer John Sachi said. As a result, the council passed a resolution March 6, 2018 regarding the sufficiency of a petition and authorized city staff to prepare a feasibility report for local improvements to extend water utilities to Bevins Lane, Bichner Lane, Talahi Drive and Warner Avenue. One year later, at its March 5 meeting, council accepted the feasibility study recommendation and called for a public improvement hearing on April 16. During the yearlong interval, city staff gathered information from residents through at least two neighborhood meetings.

The project will now move forward to install sanitary sewer on Bichner Lane, Bevins Lane and Talahi Drive. A water main will also be installed on Bichner Lane and Bevins Lane; Talahi Drive already has water. The west side of a portion of Warner Avenue S. (the Mahtomedi side) will be involved in the road construction because it connects the three private roads to the city system. After utilities are installed, the roadways will be replaced with gravel surfacing of the same width that existed prior to construction. No storm sewer or curb and gutter will be added as a part of the project, Sachi said. The estimated cost of the project stands at $1.4 million. The Talahi Drive portion will cost $113,000, and the Bevins Lane, Bichner Lane and S. Warner portion will round out the bill at $1.3 million. The city's fi nancing portion of this project will be part of its 2020 Capital Improvement Plan, Finance Director Scott Schaefer said. The initial assessment proposal followed the city's policy to assess 100% of the costs for petitioned projects to the benefiting property owners. This version would have assessed $40,000 per single lot. Since that time, the city called for an appraisal report to determine what it could reasonably impose for the project and has modified the assessment on a single lot to $28,000. The assessment amount charged to the property cannot exceed the amount by which the property benefits from the improvement, according to state law. At present, there are 22 septic systems on Bichner, Bevins and Talahi; 13 of them are out of com-
pliance with Washington County regulations. The septic systems in that area were all installed between 1960 and 2008. In the 1960s, Joe Bevins' father bought the land that makes up Bevins Lane and wanted the city to run utilities onto the subdivided properties to create a modernized development. However, the city said it had no future plans to extend utilities that far. Therefore, houses built in 1972 on the 1-acre lots had personal septic systems installed. In 1976, the city approached the residents to ask if they wanted city utilities, but the residents declined because all the systems had just been installed and were still in good working condition. For the next 25 years, the "if it isn't broke, don't fi x it" policy applied whenever the extension question came up. The last time the extension was offered was around 2001. Nothing was said again about extensions until 2017, when the fi rst Bevins Lane petition was denied. In 2018, Joe Bevins mustered his neighbors to support a second petition that succeeded. Property owners who spoke during the public hearing expressed a variety of concerns. Among them: their trees would be destroyed, the water will have an odor, the sewer and water can't be installed soon enough; sewage will enter the water table; the whole thing is costly, and the project is unnecessary. Now that the project has been ordered, council will be asked to rezone part of the project area. City staff expects to open bids in January 2020, and construction will take place later that year.

Sommeliers: serious about wine
NEW TO THE BEVERAGE MENU: Mango Spritzer 1 bottle 7 Vines Frontenanc Blanc wine Soda water Mango puree: frozen mango, sugar, water
BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
A sommelier can detect the most subtle of notes — and not the musical sort. Rather, the note of pineapple or blackberry or peach; perhaps traces of dill one senses on the palate with that first sip of wine. Hints of those flavors are described in tastings led by sommelier Maureen McKenna as she walks visitors through a tour at 7 Vines Vineyard in Dellwood. McKenna is a wine professional who has spent years honing her taste buds, sampling and studying wines of the world. 7 Vines may be the only vineyard in Minnesota to have a sommelier on staff. The winery, located on the 188-acre estate once owned by Peter and Gertrude Ffolliott, was purchased in 2010 by Ron and Arlie Peltier. Their daughter, Janee Katz, head of operations, hired McKenna a year ago. Becoming a sommelier is not easy. There are four levels of accreditation to become a Master Sommelier, aptly described in The New Yorker as “fine wine’s most sacrosanct circle.” McKenna attained the second level, or “certified” sommelier, in the European Court while living in Switzerland. There are two courts, American and European. The requirements are the same. The Court of Master Sommeliers was established in London in 1969 to encourage improved standards of beverage knowledge and service. Since the court’s inception, only 255 candidates across the globe have passed the Master Sommelier exam, fewer than have traveled to space, one writer noted. The diploma is considered the “ultimate professional credential anyone can attain worldwide” in the wine and spirits industries. Born in Vermont, McKenna attended college in Boston, earning a master’s degree in international education policy at Harvard. After getting the degree, she wanted to work for a non-governmental organization and landed a job with the Red Cross in Washington, D.C. “I worked up to director of strategic partnerships, which meant I was managing corporate partnerships with Fortune 500 companies,” McKenna said. As she put together global partnerships with companies like Apple and Disney, she focused more and more on international work, eventually moving to Geneva, Switzerland in, 2015 to work for the international Red Cross to manage branding and corporate communications. She was always interested in wine. “I dabbled in home winemaking in D.C. and I traveled around to vineyards, tast-
To make puree: combine equal parts water, sugar and frozen mango. Simmer until thickens, stirring constantly. Once thickened, puree mixture in blender or with puree whip. To make spritzer by the glass: Fill glass with ice. Add 1/4 cup mango puree. Next, add wine to fill. Add a splash of soda water to top. Enjoy!

ing and going on tours. I thought I would own a vineyard one day when I retired.” McKenna’s decision to become a wine expert came when by happenstance, she watched a documentary called “Somm.” Made in 2013, it follows four guys who have passed the advanced level and are preparing to take the extremely difficult Master Sommelier exam, a three-part timed test with a 3 to 8 percent pass rate. Some test takers practice for years before making their first attempt. “The documentary opened my eyes to realizing what else there is to the wine industry besides being a winemaker,” McKenna recalled. “It was one of those life-changing moments.” What particularly piqued her interest was “being able to dive into cultures using wine as the vehicle. The history, politics, laws, geology and geography that it takes to make a certain style of wine in a certain region is fascinating,” McKenna said. “There is a story behind every label; where it came from, its culture. It opened my eyes. I thought, ‘I can do this.’” When her partner was transferred from Switzerland to Minnesota, McKenna reached out to a University of Minnesota horticulturalist who connected her with Bryan Forbes, the winemaker at 7 Vines. She worked with Forbes to learn about Minnesota grapes and vineyard management. “When they learned about my background, they scooped me up,” McKenna said. What does it take to become a sommelier? “Practice,” she replied. She belongs to two tasting groups, joining other certified sommeliers to practice blind taste tests several times a week.

Her goal is knowledge. “I want to know as much as I can to communicate about wine to any customer who asks. Being at 7 Vines is very cool because I’ve been introduced to these hybrid varietals that I never knew existed before moving to Minnesota.” Her job is to help customers understand what they might like and what they don’t. “We ask simple questions like, ‘Do you like fruity wine or dry wine?’ The most important part of my job is educating or helping customers understand what varietals are,” McKenna said. “People don’t drink this every day.” Among her sommelier duties are development of programs such as a Tour and Tasting and a wine group called Club 7 that has grown to more than 80 members. The 60-minute tour and
tasting includes wine and food pairings curated by McKenna and an introduction into the winemaking process. Information on the tours and benefits of club membership can be found at 7vinesvineyard.com. The owners of 7 Vines want customers to feel they are part of the winery, McKenna said. “They want professionalism in a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. And they want people who can make that happen. That’s why they have a sommelier on staff.” She considers Minnesota an up-andcoming wine region. You never know: area wines may be on the Master Sommelier famously challenging blind taste test someday.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — In action at its April 16 meeting, the City Council: • Proclaimed April 26 as Arbor Day and the entire month of May as Arbor Month, to join the rest of Minnesota in paying special tribute to trees as natural resources and rededicate ourselves to the vitality of our forests. Trees pay an important role in providing clean drinking water from forests and keep lakes and streams clean by absorbing and filtering pollutants and sediments. Careful management of our forests is one of the best ways to protect drinking water and reduce the cost of water treatment, the proclamation said. • Heard a presentation from an Xcel Energy representative on the progress of the city's Energy Action Plan since the city received a grant 18 months ago to work collaboratively with residents, institutions and businesses to conserve energy, save energy dollars and increase reliance on renewable energy. Visit the city website at %%www.ci.mahtomedi. mn.us to view additional information on Mahtomedi's Energy Action Plan. • Gave city staff permission to advertise for the vacant accounting clerk position.
• Approved all the various liquor and gas station licenses up for renewal in 2019. These license renewal applications include on/off sale, Sunday, intoxicating, 3.2% off-sale malt liquor and gasoline dispensing. Renewal is contingent on receipt of all appropriate paperwork and certificates of insurance. • Approved the local storm water management plan, dated December 2018 and prepared by WSB, as required within 120 days of the Rice Creek Watershed District's approval of the plan. Because the deadline was a few days prior to the city's approval, council agreed to pass the resolution and have a presentation about the plan at a future council meeting. • Approved the disposition and sale of Sensus meter reading equipment that was replaced with Badger meter reading equipment. The city's meter reading contractor, SL-SERCO, is said to be interested in the items. • Approved the cooperative agreement with Washington County for the maintenance of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 12.

WEATHER TIDBIT If you look at rainfall this month, there was potential for disaster. With rain forecasted for Easter Sunday and with the three rain events this month, each one totaling over one inch, outdoor plans could easily turn into indoor plans. As it turns out, all I did was get wet for my morning run along with a few dog walkers, as skies cleared a little after 9am and it was a beautiful day. We’re already over our normal monthly total for rain with Monday’s thunderstorms adding to the nearly 4� total. Ice-out reports have been coming in. Bald Eagle April 11, Centerville & Forest Lake April 16, White Bear April 18 and Minnetonka April 19.

There, the paved trail will terminate at the Dellwood/Mahtomedi border. The City of Dellwood will pick up the trail from that point.

recent agreement for the Stillwater Road project from TH 244 to Mahtomedi Ave., include clarification about ownership of sidewalks and trails and a request that the county notify the city when county plans revisions to parts of the infrastructure for which the city is responsible. • Approved the state grant agreement for the Lake Links Trail and accepted a grant in the amount of $1.4 million, by authorizing the mayor and city administrator to sign state grant #SG-10786 from the Metropolitan Council Grant Program for Recreation Open Space and Development. • Passed a resolution approving the Lake Links Trail alignment in Mahtomedi. The original alignment was planned to be along TH 244, but due to difficulties in construction, high estimated costs and reduction in the amount of grant monies secured from the Legislature, the alignment for the trail was altered to run through the Historic District of the city. Beginning at the common border with the City of Birchwood along Birchwood Road, the Lake Links Trail will be an off-road trail along the north
