After 8 long years, Ramsey Beach to open BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
The lake has reached a level just high enough to convince county officials it's time to open the beach at White Bear Lake County Park. The swimming area has been closed for eight years. Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt said the decision to open transpired late last week. “We sent someone out there to look,” said Reinhardt, a White Bear Lake resident and county chair. “They came back to me to say it's the minimum but we can do it.” That “magic moment,” as she called it was when the lake reached a threshold of 923 feet.
The guarded beach will open June 10 along with other parks in the county system with one important caveat: “Our community needs to understand the factors in our decision-making between now and then. Safety has always come first and will continue to come first,” stressed the commissioner. “Should the level begin dropping again between now and June, or anytime during the summer, we will re-evaluate the plan for the remainder of the season.” Encouraged by the current conditions, Parks staff plan to clear aquatic weeds and vegetation and redistribute sand in the weeks ahead. Reinhardt noted the county expects to have its permit request ap-
proved by the Department of Natural Resources in order to open by June 10. In addition to lifeguard stands, there are plans to add signs to clearly state the rules and boundaries of safe use of the beach this year. “Both this year and in past springtimes, I have appreciated our community’s enthusiasm around opening the beach area at White Bear Lake County Park,” Reinhardt said in a statement. “Like many neighbors and visitors, I have fond memories of using the swim beach when my sons were children, and I would be delighted to see my grandchildren wading and splashing there with other families.” SEE RAMSEY BEACH, PAGE 8A

White Bear Teacher of the Year has ‘best job on earth’ BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The 2017 White Bear Lake Area Schools Teacher of the Year considers his classroom to be family for the school year. Nicholas Marty began as a student teacher in the district almost a decade ago. He currently teaches fifth grade at Lincoln Elementary and has also taught at Hugo and Oneka. Marty gives parents hope for their inquisitive, fidgety children, said colleague Pam Johnstone, who introduced him at the award ceremony. “What brought him into the profession was his own personal experience as a child and family of educators as a child,” Johnstone said. Marty has empathy for children who learn differently, she added, which he learned from his mother who was also a teacher. “The kids know his heart is for them,” Johnstone said. “Mr. Marty teaches in a very unique way — different than most teachers,” a student said. “He’s every kid’s best friend,” another said. Marty’s use of technology in his classroom PAULS DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Parties meet over protective elevation appeal; stay tuned BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Something is cooking regarding an appeal filed in appellate court by the White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) against the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The WBLCD attorney, Alan Kantrud, has called a special meeting with the board for Thursday, April 27 after he and Chair Bryan DeSmet met with the attorney general's office April 21 to discuss a resolution to the matter. The case, which Kantrud said is not technically a lawsuit, involves the protective elevation set by the DNR last December. The conservation district objected to the 922 foot figure, claiming the DNR made the
order without public input, and requested a public hearing. The DNR said a hearing was not required and denied the request. The district filed an appeal. At this point, the agency has until May 4 to provide an administrative record on how it arrived at the protective elevation. The lake conservation district would then have 30 days to craft an argument about how the DNR did not follow due process for the appeals court. When asked how much time he has spent so far on the appeal, Kantrud estimated 45 to 50 hours, billed at $100 per hour, or $4,500 to $5,000. Board member Scott Costello said he's received pushback about the case. “City leaders are sensitive about lawsuits with the DNR,” he said. “They were surprised we would sue the DNR when the city is involved in a bigger lawsuit.”
Kantrud reminded the board he was directed to pursue a court case. “I wasn't looking to entertain myself at the Court of Appeals,” he said, adding the WBLCD lawsuit is completely different than the one involving lake level with the DNR. “This is an appeal of an administrative order, not a lawsuit.” It was Kantrud who reached out to the DNR to hold the meeting last Friday in an effort to save dollars. The agency is represented by the attorney general's office. The board will know by its May 16 meeting if the DNR will provide a public hearing. “If that goes well, our work here is done,” DeSmet noted. Added Kantrud: “Hopefully we'll be booking this room for a hearing sometime in May,” referring to the council chambers at City Hall.

OBITUARY NOTICES
Dr. Cora Jane (Brabazon) Ruhr
Alta V. Colaizy
David E. Nordstrom
Dr. Cora Jane (Brabazon) Ruhr, 82, formerly of White Bear Lake, passed away on April 4, 2017 in Sedona, Arizona, following a 4-year battle with melanoma. Cora was born in Chula Vista, California, and received her B.S. degree in Physics from San Diego State University. While she was a student at SDSU, she worked at Convair as a draftsman on designs for the fi rst Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile. She then received her Doctor of Optometry degree from UC Berkeley. Her passion for travel led her to join Northwest Airlines as a flight attendant so she could travel the world before settling down to start her own optometric practice in 1962, on Fourth Street in White Bear Lake where she shared office space with Dr. Roy (“Pete”) Peterson. At that time, she was the only practicing woman optometrist in Minnesota. In 1973, she was appointed to the Minnesota State Board of Optometry by Gov. Wendell Anderson, and she was elected Chair of the Board in 1976. She is still the only woman ever to have served as chair of the Minnesota State Board. She later purchased the former “Kohler’s Romance Ice Cream Parlor” on Washington Avenue, which she renovated into the present-day White Bear Optical. Cora was active on the White Bear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, where she was instrumental in the creation of both Washington Square Park, and the weekly Farmers’ Markets on Washington Square. Cora was an active outdoorswoman from an early age, becoming an accomplished surfer, scuba diver, sailor, tennis player and skier, and an avid hiker. She later became an enthusiastic private airplane pilot, owning and flying several planes with her husband Chuck Ruhr, whom she married in 1962. Their fi rst home after marriage was a boat, a retired 80-foot, 80-ton, river cruiser and World War II patrol boat that had recently been moved to a lot in the woods near Marine on St. Croix and then abandoned. She and her husband bought and restored the boat and lived there with their two children and two St. Bernards for seven years. They later bought and restored a lovely home at 5 Clark Ave. in White Bear Lake. Cora was delighted she was able to live on a lake in a wonderful small town and walk to work every day. She became an avid sailor, and was known for her uncanny ability to “turtle” her red Hobie Cat during weekend regattas on the lake. Her children remember that during their White Bear Lake years, the family lacked basic furniture in their house, but had two cats, two dogs, two white rats, two parakeets, two turtles, innumerable goldfi sh, and five horses who lived on several hundred acres of land in the Black Hills of South Dakota, as well as a small airplane to fly to “the ranch” for weekend camping trips, to visit grandparents in South Dakota and California, and to fly to the Rockies for skiing in the Winter. As Cora explained later, “We had priorities. Furniture was not one of them.” They later moved to a farm in Forest Lake, where they established Blueblood Arabians, which became a nationally-recognized Arabian horse breeding operation. And they acquired two sofas. After retiring, Cora moved to Sedona, Arizona, where she could hike year-round. She became an expert on local geology, writing several publications for visiting tourists. From her base in Sedona she traveled widely, including recent visits to Cuba, Turkey, India, Peru, and Antarctica. Cora was preceded in death by her son, Christopher Ruhr, who died in a traffic accident in Taiwan while working as business journalist for an American publication. She is survived by her former husband and best friend, Charles (Chuck) Ruhr, daughter Ann Ruhr Pifer, son-in-law Steven Wilmot, grandsons Christopher Pifer (21), Samuel Wilmot (16), and Owen Pifer (13), and dear friend and travel companion John Shiner. A celebration of Cora’s life will be held on May 4, 11-1 p.m., at Kellermans’ Event Center, 2222 Fourth St., White Bear Lake, MN 55110. Memorials preferred to the Christopher Ruhr Memorial Scholarship Fund, St. Paul Academy and Summit School, 1712 Randolph Ave., St. Paul, MN, 55105.

Recycle Earth Day
O
n April 22, countries around the world celebrated Earth Day. Earth Day was founded in 1970 by Gaylord Nelson of Clear Lake, Wisconsin. As governor and senator of Wisconsin, Nelson saw the need to increase environmental awareness and address ecological concerns and conservation issues. The fi rst Earth Day celebrations also marked the beginning of environmental legislation in our country. While the emphasis of the original Earth Day was largely political, Nelson believed future efforts should advocate environmental education at a grassroots level. Throughout our communities thousands of trees Publisher’s have been planted as a result of Earth Day. Today, Earth Day View should inspire us to take the Carter Johnson next steps in our daily habits like implementing recycling or starting a compost pile. Steps like reducing water by planting our lawns with native plants that require less water. Install a safety-height, dual-flush toilet that uses less water. Ride a bike or carpool to work. Update your lights to LED. Repurposing items for a different use is another opportunity to support our environment. The 6th annual Trash to Treasure Day is an opportunity to do that next week, Saturday, April 29, throughout White Bear Township and White Bear Lake. Residents are encouraged to put unwanted items at the end of their driveways for others to take, and what isn’t claimed can be picked up on the following regular trash day, or most items can be brought to the White Bear Lake Spring Cleanup Day on Saturday, May 6 from 7 a.m.-1 p.m. at the old Public Works site at 4200 Hoffman Road. Ramsey County, Washington County and Anoka County also provide regular recycling opportunities for residents to drop off household items and hazardous waste. See county websites for more information. Kids and jobs Subscribers, you are helping teach one of the most important lessons of small business in America - entrepreneurship. I owe you a huge thank you - you just made some of our youth carriers’ eyes pop out of their heads with your generosity. One hundred percent of the tips you designate through the semi-annual subscriber campaign are passed on to our youth carriers. Through your support of our carrier program, you not only help a kid in our community who may be saving up for a bike or to go on a school trip, but the Press Publications markets are among the last in the country to support a youth carrier program. We don’t do it because it’s necessarily the easiest program to manage, or the cheapest way to deliver papers. We have a carrier program because we believe as your community newspaper we have an obligation to help build up the community, and that is what it does. There aren’t many places an 11-year-old kid can get a job close to home and learn the value of having a weekly responsibility, to go out and deliver papers and collect subscriptions in all kinds of weather and make sure it is done in a timely fashion. Thank you for being kind and generous to our neighborhood kids. Even if you don’t want to subscribe or give a tip, please be gracious and encourage these kids who are out learning how hard it is to make a buck and trying to figure out their fi rst job. Getting turned down is a life lesson too. Remember your words and actions might change the world view of one of our youth carriers. The kids I meet at the office are go-getters – and they are the future American workforce. Just think, your neighborhood carrier could be the next Warren Buffett (whose fi rst job, I might add, was delivering newspapers). Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

Date night – steak night
M
y favorite days of the week are Wednesday and Fridays because my husband and I still have weekly date nights. Every Wednesday for the last 25 plus years we have managed to keep this tradition going. Some weeks we go out for dinner and other weeks we cook a meal together at home; his preference is steak which he likes to grill. I like to cook the steaks in the oven and finish them on the stove top. I like steak even more if the side dish has a “wow” factor. I think “cheesy” side dishes make steak taste even better. When we arrive home, we start cooking the potatoes and prep the steak for the oven. While the steak and the potatoes are cooking we make a salad, which takes less than 10 minutes. That leaves time for a glass of red wine.
Our weekly date night has now turned into two date nights. Our two youngest boys, who are 18 and 16, usually want to go and hang out with friends instead of have dinner with us on Wild Chow Fridays. It won’t be long Lisa Erickson before every night will be a date night. How strange that will be after having kids at home for over 26 years. My husband will have to come up with another favorite meal besides steak!
Oven roasted steak for two 1 large 2-inch-thick tenderloin or ribeye steak, brought to room temperature 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp. seasoned salt Pepper 3 Tbsp. butter 3 Tbsp. fi nely chopped shallot Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Season steak on all sides with seasoned salt and pepper to taste. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil. Place a wire rack on the foil. Put the steak on the rack and bake for 40-45 minutes until internal temperature is 120 degrees for rare, 130 for medium, or 140 for well done. In a cast iron pan, over high heat, add oil and heat until hot—just before smoking. Add oven cooked steak and sear one side for about 30 seconds. Flip and sear other side. Add butter and the shallot. Swirl in the oil for about 30 seconds. Spoon over the top of the steak. Remove steak and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with cheesy potatoes.
Easy cheesy potatoes for two 2 large baking potatoes, sliced 2 Tbsp. butter, melted ½ onion, sliced thin ½ cup half and half ½ cup parmesan cheese, plus 1 Tbsp. ¼ cup crumbled bacon for top Put potatoes and onions in a small casserole dish. Toss with butter to coat. Microwave for 8 minutes until potatoes are starting to soften. Mix ½ cup cheese with half and half and pour over potatoes. Top with remaining cheese and bacon. Bake alongside steak at 200 degrees. When steak is done, increase heat to 375 degrees and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Serve with steak sauce.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Lake L k llevell nott an impairment i i t
Grateful G t f l ffor Town T Hall H ll preservation ti
A Bear B Boating B ti th thank k you
My wife and I moved from Minneapolis to White Bear Lake in 1980. We raised four children here. Part of the reason for our attachment to this city is undoubtably the lake, which we have made good use of. I am an avid fisherman, both winter and summer. I also fish at times from shore with a pair of waders at Ramsey Beach. We have been avid users of Optimist Beach, both with our children and now our grandchildren. We have taken many strolls along Lake Avenue on summer and fall evenings. We have used the dog park. We have enjoyed eating at both Talleys and C. J. Hooks and sitting next to the lake. We took the kids to the pier at Lions Park to fish off the dock. In those 36 years, the lake has had its ups and downs. I have to say that the level of the lake has never been an impairment to my enjoyment or use of the lake. I don't think that I ever had trouble launching the boat either at Ramsey or Matoska Park. Optimist Beach has been a good place to swim with a gradual decline to deeper water. I haven't noticed that the lake has lost any of its beauty on our evening walks. I have noticed that with the increased vegetation a small herd of deer has moved in south of the island. I have also read that fluctuating lake levels are actually good for the lake. I know that there are a few dozen people who live on the lake that the low levels affect more than the rest of us. I think that if the day comes when I can't water my lawn, can’t wash my car, or have to drink Mississippi River water so a few can retain their property values I will consider moving somewhere else where hopefully decisions are made for the good of the majority.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the White Bear Town Board for taking the fi nal major step in saving the historic 1885 Town Hall building. The structure was designed by a young, unknown architect named Cass Gilbert who would go on to great things — including the designing of the Minnesota State Capitol. The Town Hall has been the touchstone for our town government from 1885 through 2011. In the early years, residents of White Bear Township who had business to conduct or concerns to address did so at the Town Hall. No matter where a person lived in the large township, which originally included today's cities of Gem Lake, North Oaks, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake, this Town Hall was their anchor. For more than a decade the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society has urged the preservation of this local landmark. We are so grateful for the commitment of the Town Board in making it a reality. To date, the building has been moved to Polar Lakes Park where it crowns the hill overlooking the ball fields and Town Centre. This final phase of restoration will return the exterior to its original, late 19th-century appearance based on evidence located through archival research. Once complete, the building will be opened for presentations, student field trips, and public events showcasing the history of the area. As a Town resident, a teacher, and president of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, I look forward to the ongoing partnership with White Bear Township and the opportunity to share this tangible link to our past with our community.

On behalf of Bear Boating of White Bear Lake, I would like to express our deep appreciation to the community for the tremendous support of our annual fundraising event at the Armory on March 25. This year was our most successful event ever! We raised over $20,000. Proceeds allow us to pay for pontoon insurance, boat and repairs, gas, fishing equipment, life jackets, computer and website expenses. Last summer, Bear Boating provided over 100 fishing trips and excursions on White Bear Lake for more than 1,000 senior citizens, veterans, active-duty family members and disabled individuals. We are expecting this year to be as active. A great big thank you to our sponsors, local business owners and individuals who donated silent and live auction items, the 350 people who attended the event and to the city of White Bear Lake for the dock space. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. This is an awesome community we live in and everyone can be proud of what White Bear Lake has to offer. Peg Black White Bear Lake
Rush Line BRT benefits White Bear area The White Bear Area is celebrating a new connection that builds on our current successes and positions us to become an even stronger economic hub. The Rush Line Corridor will better link us to our neighbors and downtown Saint Paul connecting people to jobs, businesses and other destinations. After significant consideration and public input, the Rush Line Corridor Policy Advisory Committee is recommending a 14-mile bus rapid transit line (BRT) operating in a dedicated guideway where lanes are used exclusively for transit service. The proposed BRT route offers a reliable, convenient and affordable transportation choice for the cities of Saint Paul, Maplewood, Vadnais Heights, Gem Lake and White Bear Lake. Further connections north will continue to be explored. North of Interstate 694, the Rush Line will travel along Highway 61, making use of existing public right of way, with stations at County Road E, Cedar Avenue, Marina Triangle and downtown White Bear Lake. The Rush Line is a right-sized solution that will provide the greatest return on investment, attracting people and economic activity to the White Bear Area. Share your thoughts with us at an upcoming public hearing and open house from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 27, at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church at 1390 Larpenteur Ave. E. in St. Paul. Victoria Reinhardt Sheila Kelly White Bear Lake Editor's note: Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt chairs the Rush Line Corridor Task Force and serves on the Policy Advisory Committee; Sheila Kelly serves on the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and the Policy Advisory Committee.

Man fatally shot had grabbed deputy’s weapon VADNAIS HEIGHTS — A man who died from a shot fired by a deputy in an RV near Highway 61 and I-694 had disarmed a deputy during a struggle. Two of four deputies investigating the suspicious RV near 3250 Fanum Road about 9:30 p.m. April 16 had already used stun guns during the struggle with the man, Darren Robert Jahnke, 47, according to an initial Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) investigation. After the stun guns had been ineffective in the struggle, Jahnke
disarmed one of the deputies. Deputy Andre Rongitsch then fired his weapon, striking Jahnke, according to the BCA. The four deputies immediately rendered first aid and requested an ambulance. Jahnke was taken to Regions Hospital where he died. He has no permanent address. Deputy Rongitsch has been a deputy with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office 12 years. He and three other deputies remain on standard administrative leave while the investigation continues. The other deputies
at the scene were Lisa Daly, Doug Haider and Sara Naglosky. Deputies Naglosky and Rongitsch were on routine patrol near when they located the suspicious RV and car. Haider and Naglosky also arrived at the scene before the struggle with Jahnke ensued. A woman in the car was questioned and released. Investigators are reviewing squad video captured at the scene. Deputies were not wearing body cameras. Sara Marie Moore

White Bear Lake man crashes and dies while fleeing police FALCON HEIGHTS – A White Bear Lake man is dead after fleeing from police and crashing into a tree. Ryan James Reeves, 24, sped away from a St. Anthony police officer during a traffic stop near Hamline Avenue and Hoyt Avenue in Falcon Heights about 8 p.m. April 23, according to the police department. The officer returned to his squad car to pursue the vehicle, a 1999 Buick Century. “Within less than one minute from the time of the
offender fleeing the traffic stop, it left the roadway in the area of Hamline Avenue at Wynne Avenue in St. Paul and struck a tree,” stated the police department. Reeves was pronounced deceased and a female passenger from St. Paul was transported to a hospital with minor injuries. Reeves had an outstanding Ramsey County felony warrant for fleeing police and an outstanding Scott County felony warrant for controlled substance pos-
session, according to law enforcement. Reeves also had a history of convictions for fleeing police in a motor vehicle, motor vehicle theft, forgery, possession of a firearm by a felon, drug possession, criminal damage to property and domestic assault-strangulation. The Minnesota State Patrol, St. Anthony Police Department and Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office are investigating the incident. From press release

WILLERNIE • A resident in the 400 block of Warner Avenue S. reported harassing phone calls April 12. The offending party was identified and advised to stop.
RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
VADNAIS HEIGHTS • Locks on five lockers at a self-storage business in the 3200 block of Hwy. 61 were cut and the lockers entered sometime on April 14. Only one victim was able to be contacted and that 39-year-old woman came up with a list of missing items, unusual to say the least, from a self-storage locker. Missing was jewelry, a perfume sprayer and a Social Security card. • Deputies responding to a report of a domestic assault the night of April 15 at an apartment building in the 1000 block of County Road D, finding a male victim, age 29, locked in a bedroom, and another victim, his brother, age 27, in the living room. A female witness told deputies that the female suspect, age 25 with no permanent address, had attempted to stab the brothers. All parties involved appeared to be intoxicated, according to the report. No knife was found initially, but it was found later in a drawer.
The suspect, who at first denied the assault, said she “had grabbed the knife to defend herself.” The suspect was booked into the Ramsey County Jail on felony charges of “second degree assault with a dangerous weapon” and “threatening to commit a crime of violence with reckless disregard of the risk of causing terror in another.” • Deputies responding to a disorderly conduct call April 17 in the 3500 block of Centerville Road were approached by a “woman with attitude,” according to the police report. After the uncooperative 40-year-old woman fled the scene “in a rage,” also running over a deputy’s foot, the call was changed to fourth-degree assault. Both city and attorney prosecutors declined the charge. • A suspected shoplifting couple fled the Wal-Mart parking lot the morning of April 18 in a silver van after a confrontation with an asset protection employee. The male suspect had put his hand in his pocket, intimating he was armed, and the employee backed off. No weapon was shown and the employee did get the van’s license information. Turns out that the van — containing the couple — had been
stopped the day before by Maplewood Police for a traffic offense, so identification was provided and an investigation of the April 18 shoplifting incident at Wal-Mart continues.
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A shoplifting suspect headed for the exit at Cub Foods on Meadowlands Drive at a dead run April 13, pushing a cart loaded with groceries. Asset protection employees gave chase but the 56-year-old Brooklyn Park man, recognized by store employees as a previous offender, abandoned the cart, making good his escape. An investigation continues. • Two female shoplifters along with “three or four children” wheeled a cart full of groceries and other items out the door of Cub Foods late on the night of April 18, failing to settle up at the register and leaving the scene in a white Pontiac, according to witnesses. One of the women was wearing a “croptop” sweatshirt, exposing a “colorful tattoo” on her back. Using a photo of the tattoo as evidence, an investigation is underway.

Mahtomedi School Board expels ‘beloved student’ according to court documents. “This is absolutely the last kid you would want to expel for something he did that was not super thoughtful but the kind of thing a 17 year old would do,” Jepsen said. “They want to take his education away from him; it is terrible.”
BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
MAHTOMEDI — An award-winning student and Bible camp youth minister was expelled from Mahtomedi High School for attempting to take a friend's unloaded BB gun off campus. Junior Brendan Lundell offered to take a BB gun inside a friend's van off campus March 20 when he asked if it had been forgotten in the vehicle after several friends did target practice over the weekend, according to court documents. It was the end of the school day and he was leaving campus with other friends while the student who had brought the BB gun on campus was staying at school. Lundell put the BB gun in his pocket but before he got off campus, it fell out and was seen by a bus driver. Lundell was suspended and the School Board expelled him April 18. A day prior, his family's attorney, Andrea Jepsen, fi led a federal lawsuit alleging the school district did not provide the required alternative educational services to avoid expulsion. Under Minnesota statute and the Minnesota Fair Pupil Dismissal Act, districts may not suspend or expel students without providing such services before dismissal proceedings unless the student will create an immediate and substantial danger. Jepsen is arguing the district violated the U.S. Constitution by taking away Lundell's right to education. The district has stated it provided alternative educational services of supervised homework, according to court documents. Jepsen argues the services provided were not calculated to avoid expulsion. In addition, Jepsen, his family and an uprising of the Mahtomedi community argue Lundell is by no means dangerous. “He is a beloved student,” the

attorney said. “Anybody who knows my son knows very well there is no way that kid is dangerous,” said his mother Carole Lundell. “It was completely unintentional on his part.” Lundell agreed her son should have consequences but was disappointed he was not offered any remedial services that could have kept him in school. “He would be the fi rst person to tell you he messed up,” she added. Over 500 people have signed an online petition, “We want Brenden Lundell back!” Brendan is a peer minister at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church and spends time with middle school confi rmation students, according to the petition. About 40 students and community members from St. Andrew's Lutheran Church also showed up at the board's special meeting April 18, said board member Mike Chevalier. Lundell is known for his work with Bible campers with disabilities and was also awarded the Mahtomedi High School Blue and Gold award last fall after the school psychologist nominated him for mentoring a student with special needs, according to court documents. Lundell has no history of dangerous behavior. He once had an in-school suspension from class for a prank gone bad. Lundell was apologetic both then and when he realized he should not have put the BB gun in his pocket,

School Board gives longer than recommended expulsion The School Board gave a longer expulsion than the hearing officer recommended, she added. The officer suggested Lundell be expelled through the end of this school year but the board voted to expel him until next January. The board unanimously agreed on the expulsion but not on the amount of time Lundell should be expelled, Chevalier said. Lucy Payne, Julie McGraw and Judith Schwartz voted to expel Lundell until January, according to preliminary meeting minutes. Chevalier said he also meant to vote for the longer expulsion but accidentally voted for the shorter one. Kevin Donovan voted for the shorter expulsion and Stacey Stout was not present. “We did what we thought was right,” Chevalier said. “We took everything into consideration. It was very difficult to do.” The school district's weapons policy is zero tolerance, said Superintendent Mark Larson. “The school district takes student safety very seriously,” he noted. “It is our top priority.” The policy on the district's website, 501, states no student shall possess a weapon in a school location, bus stop or during school activities. Consequences, unless properly reported to school authorities, include expulsion for one year, according to
Minnesota law. The School Board may modify that on a case-by-case basis, according to the policy. The other students with Lundell, including the student who brought the gun on campus, have not been disciplined, according to Jepsen. The Washington County Attorney's Office declined to pursue weapons charges submitted by the Washington County Sheriff's Office and instead Lundell will participate in a restorative justice program, according to court documents.
Case could be influential, historical Jepsen, an attorney with the School Law Center, expects to win the case against the district in federal court. She has not argued a case quite like this, she said, and its success could influence future cases. Jepsen recently won another Minnesota Supreme Court case involving student Alyssa Drescher in southern Minnesota who accidentally brought a pocket knife to school. The ruling in the case caused school districts across the state to reconsider how to treat students who had no ill intent when in possession of a weapon at school. “This is going to be just as important a case for Minnesota kids,” she noted. About 50,000 students in Minnesota were suspended or expelled during the 2015 to 2016 school year, Jepsen added. Phone calls to the district's attorneys Elizabeth Vieira and Michael Waldspurger were not returned as of press time.

is also “mind-boggling,” Johnstone said. He is also a digital learning specialist. Marty’s grandmother Margaret Marty said she knew Nicholas would be good with children when he was about 12 or 14 because he entertained a young cousin on a long car trip. “He said teaching wasn’t about the money — it’s what you do, it’s about the kids,” remembered his father Blaine Marty. Upon winning, Marty said, “I have the best job on earth. It is never dull.” In his philosophy of education submitted for the competition, he wrote, “For nine months in an elementary classroom we are a family in which each student will feel safe and valued for being exactly who they are.” Marty will go on to the Minnesota Teacher of the Year competition. He won a $1,000
gift from the White Bear Lake Lions Club, which is meant to fund continuing education. Marty will also ride on a float in the Manitou Days parade. Marty was nominated by colleague Maggie Clark, who worked next door to him as a long-term substitute during the 2014-2015 school year. “I was immediately welcomed and supported in my journey by him and believe that I just may have learned more that school year from him than any student,” she stated in the nomination. “He has a natural ability to connect with students and develop an intrinsic motivation within them that ignites their curiosity and desire to surpass any expectation that society, or anyone, has had for them.” More than 80 teachers from 14 different buildings were nominated by students, colleagues or parents, said Superintendent Michael Lovett. Six finalists were interviewed by a panel of about 20 judges.
Other finalists were Katelin Held, North Campus; Benjamin Kirkham, North Campus; Rita Leonard, South Campus; Dawn Maple, Matoska International Elementary; and Melissa Wickert, North Campus. The Teacher of the Year program is run by the White Bear Lake Teachers’ Association (WBLTA). The White Bear Lake Teacher of the Year program started soon after a National Teacher of the Year program began in 1952, said Robert Lundberg, 1975 White Bear Lake Teacher of the Year. It is the most prestigious national honor program recognizing excellence in teaching, he noted. The White Bear Lake Lions have been giving an award to the Teacher of the Year since the ’80s.

RAMSEY BEACH: Limited to wading and subject to change FROM PAGE 1A
That brings up another important point: The swimming area will be limited to wading, with the deepest area 2 to 3 feet. Again, it's an issue of safety. Based on lifeguarding guidelines, staff have always placed buoys to safely mark the swim zone well
inside of an abrupt drop-off of six to eight feet, which is at the edge of the usable water area. Unlike swim areas with gradual depth increases, the drop off at Ramsey County beach is a permanent feature — and known hazard — and a reason it must be guarded. Low water levels made the swim area unsafe, forcing Ramsey County
Parks and Recreation to close the beach in 2008. “It may not seem like much, but even a half-inch increase in water level can vastly expand the usable water area inside the buoys for wading and playing,” pointed out the District 7 commissioner. “With recent rainfall, the usable water area is currently large enough to
create a safe and usable boundary for wading and splashing inside the drop-off.” Added Reinhardt: “We all hope water levels will rise even further in the weeks ahead, making the experience of White Bear Lake County Park more enjoyable for everyone.”
Canceled: Vadnais Heights ice castle plans melt BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
VADNAIS HEIGHTS — The ice castle envisioned for the 2018 Super Bowl was canceled due to issues with securing a site for the Northern Lights and Ice Festival. The Vadnais Heights City Council canceled the plans for the event after a discussion at a workshop meeting April 19. One of the three landowners on the proposed site near County Road E and I-35E changed their mind about offering a lease. “The land site acquisition was moving but suddenly stopped,” said Mayor Bob Fletcher. “We are not going to be able to get over that obstacle.” The primary landowner decided he would like to sell the land soon — he offered it to the city for $1.4 million (a 30 percent discount) and suggested the revenue from the festival would help the city pay for the land. “But the city has no interest in purchasing any land at this particular point in time,” Fletcher noted. The landowner also expressed concern about potential liability on the site with hundreds of thousands of visitors. Another landowner also expressed concerns about liability. “The great publicity that we had has raised the fact that this isn't just a neighborhood festival,” Fletcher noted. “I think the publicity in some ways has scared off the landowners.” One landowner was still open to offering his site for the castle, but his portion of the three sites adjoining each other is too narrow, Fletcher added. Festival volunteers also looked at another site nearby — Gerry Urban's land — with architect Bill Rust, but decided there is not enough space. The festival would have gone from 7.5 acres to 3.5 acres. Fletcher also noted it would be difficult to keep traffic out of residential areas. “The one criticism you have to avoid is impacting traffic for our residents,” Fletcher said. The original backup site near Wal-Mart also presents a difficulty, Fletcher said, and it would take time to secure leases. There is also interest in development for those sites and traffic and size issues as well. Fletcher said he is confident enough money could have been raised for the castle as originally proposed. He also noted that a City Council member in opposition to the castle would likely have affected the cas-

tle's ability to raise sponsors. City Councilman Terry Nyblom voted against the castle in February. Fletcher said Nyblom's concerns about the castle competing with the St. Paul Winter Carnival and Stillwater ice castle recently quoted in the Press would adversely affect securing sponsorship. “They damaged our brand,” he said. “That really was the death nail for me, reading that in the paper and knowing the impact that would have to secure money.” Fletcher said he didn't think his positive comments and the fact that 80 percent of people are excited about the project would be able to outweigh the criticism. No sponsorship money had yet been raised, so there was no money to return. The Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC) had invested nominal funds into the castle. It had planned to invest $10,000 if the castle had gone forward. “It's disappointing,” said Ling Becker, executive
director. “It was exciting to see the business community rise up.” “As staff, we knew the work it was going to take, but we are disappointed,” added City Administrator Kevin Watson. Fletcher noted perhaps the festival would have worked if they had signed lease contracts with landowners six months ago before the magnitude of the project was known. “Now I know why Walt Disney signed with various Realtors because he didn't want people to know what he was doing,” Fletcher said. Fletcher proposed the castle as a fun family event and as a way for the city to attract business and media attention after he was elected mayor in November.

Grassroots momentum grows for trail around lake Bikers and walkers hope to raise funding and awareness BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — “We’re here to complete a safe route to walk, ride or roller blade around White Bear Lake,” said Steve Wolgamot, Washington County chair of the Lake Links Association Steering Committee. Wolgamot spoke to about 35 committee members, bicycling enthusiasts and people who just want a safe trail to circumnavigate the lake at an April 17 meeting at the Mahtomedi District Center. The meeting was the second of what the association hopes will be many monthly meetings. The hope is for 10-foot wide, multiuse trail with a bicycle speed limit of 12 mph, which wouldn’t serve as a commuter route. In some places, the trail will just be signs on the roadway, such as in Birchwood, where there is almost no traffic but there is no place to build a dedicated trail, Wolgamot said. Lake Links has received additional endorsements for its goals, Wolgamot added. The city of Dellwood endorsed the trail proposal by a 4-1 vote, so all cities around the lake have endorsed the trail. Hugo and Willernie, cities not on the lake, have also endorsed the trail, as have Ramsey and Washington counties. State Senators Chuck Wiger and Karin Housley have endorsed the trail, along with state Reps. Peter Fischer, Matt Dean and Kathy Lohmer. “In endorsements, we’re doing all right,” Wolgamot said. “In terms of right of way, we believe there is enough right of way all the way around the lake to build a path,” Wolgamot said. Right of way is land that’s available to an entity such as a city or state, on which to build a road. Wiger stopped in briefly to talk about possible legislative funding opportunities for the project. He is seeking funding for a bill that would provide $100,000 towards trail design work and asked the coalition to write letters to legislators encouraging them to support it. Wiger is also looking for ways to come up with more money from the transportation and bonding bills. He plans to seek help from Sen. Roger Chamberlain, chair of the tax committee. “Twenty years ago, (former White Bear
Lake Mayor) Harry Mares chaired an around-the-lake task force,” Wiger said. “This is not a new idea, and it is overdue to be completed.” Wolgamot admitted, funding is a concern. “This project will cost a significant amount of money by the time we’re all done,” he said. “But when we break it up into pieces, we see that different parts are eligible for different kinds of funding — from the Department of Natural Resources grant monies to private donations.” Mahtomedi resident Dorian Grilley, executive director of bikeMN, Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota, presented findings from a MnDOT study describing health and economic benefits from regular bicycling in Minnesota. For example, bicycle commuting three times per week is linked to 46 percent lower odds of metabolic syndrome; 31 percent lower odds of obesity and 28 percent lower odds of hypertension. In 2015, the estimated 50,212 visitors attending bicycle events throughout the state supported $14.3 million in economic activity, including $4.6 million in labor income and 150 jobs. The average bicycle event visitor spent $121 per day in event fees, lodging and dining out. Bicycle event visitors in total spent an estimated $8.5 million while attending events. “Walking and biking are not the solution to many of our problems in the country and in Minnesota, but with a relatively minor investment, it could become a much bigger part of the solution,” Grilley said. Wolgamot also presented some prototype signs he had made up to post along the trail’s proposed route around the lake and asked for input from the assembly about what to put on additional signs and what color they should be. “Our initial interim proposal is to put up the signs in areas that are safe. The sign says, ‘You’re in a good place,’” Wolgamot said, “but the good places are intermittent.” For updates or to become an active supporter of the Lake Links trail, visit the organization’s website at www.lakelinks. net . The group’s next monthly meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, May 15 at the Mahtomedi District Center, 1520 Mahtomedi Ave.

Fishing entrepreneur captures Muskie Tank innovation award BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The Century College student who captured this year's Muskie Tank innovation competition already has patents for an automatic fishing net. Marc Olson, who completed Century College's visual communication technology program and is currently pursuing a design degree through the college's fab lab, won a full-year tuition scholarship for $5,000. Olson said he plans to crowdfund his automatic fishing net to bring it to market. He has several designs patented that automatically lift a fishing net up from the water. Olson will go on to compete as a semifinalist in the University of Minnesota MN Cup innovation competition. Each finalist also received a $1,000 Century College scholarship — finalists included Julia Risser, Youngik Seo, Oluwadare Sobande and a team of Xiomara Dominguez, Elise Laudet and Julie Olson. This year's Muskie Tank challenge was the fourth annual event inspired by the ABC TV show “Shark Tank,” in which budding entrepreneurs present their ideas to investors. It was founded by Jim Mishek of North Oaks, a retired engineer and marketing manager. Students submit innovative products or services for the competition and semifinalists present a prototype or detailed description to judges. Mentors are provided to semifinalists. “We have had the strongest proposals to date,” said Michael Berndt, vice president of academic affairs. Ideas ranged from ways to steep tea to camping equipment and strategies to save dolphins, empower women or advance the arts, he noted. The scholarships were provided by sponsoring businesses and organizations.
SARA MARIE MOORE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Marc Olson celebrates winning a $5,000 scholarship for his automatic fishing net idea in the Muskie Tank innovation competition at Century College April 20.
Scholarships inspire veteran, Palestinian girl The Muskie Tank scholarship awards were presented at the annual “Futures in Bloom” Century College Foundation fundraising event. Students who have received scholarships spoke about what it meant to them. Curtis Draper, an orthotic and prosthetic student, said a scholarship helped him financially even though he has military education benefits, because he has two children. Draper was an army medic and said it was an “amazing feeling” that a stranger would extend a hand to him through a scholarship to help him re-acclimate to civilian life.
Rim Salem, who hopes to eventually be a doctor, said a scholarship gave her time to invest in her studies instead of working so many jobs. Salem said she almost quit high school in Saudi Arabia because she did not have hope for going to college to fulfill her dream of being a doctor — “I was only a Palestinian girl,” she said. When she told her father, he said even if there is not an opportunity here that does not mean there are not opportunities elsewhere. Shortly thereafter, her family received immigration papers from the U.S. — a 20-year dream of her family. “All I heard in my head was a faint voice in my head saying, 'You can be a doctor,'” Salem remembered. Her father stayed behind at first while her mother and siblings moved to the U.S. He eventually left behind a fortune to join his family. Salem said she was working three jobs until she got a Century College scholarship. She has now been able to study with minimal stress, she said. “You made the voice in my head stronger — that I can be a strong, independent, Muslim, Palestinian girl … a doctor without borders,” Salem told the crowd gathered at the fundraising event. Michael Lovett, superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools, spoke at the event. One in five graduates from the district attend Century College, he noted. The district has been working with the college to offer courses at White Bear Lake Area High School to prevent students from having to take remedial courses at the college. The collaboration was honored with University of Minnesota’s Humphrey Institute Innovation Award. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

H2O for Life hosts special guests Local nonprofit H2O for Life hosted five visitors from South Korea April 21 along with their group leader and interpreter. They are guests of the International Visitor Leadership Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. The high-level visitors are focused on fostering global partnerships in humanitarian assistance and human security for South Korea. H2O for Life’s focus on youth engagement was new to these visitors, and they were very interested to learn about its mission and goals. Possibilities for future collaboration were explored; participants all agreed water is a critical issue. In turn, H2O for Life learned about Korean universities, peacekeeping, foreign policy, education and the Oceania studies programs. Participants hope to open new doors for youth engagement focused on water and sanitation through partnerships that develop out of the meeting. Submitted by Patty Hall, co-founder H2O for Life

Vadnais Heights skaters each earn world gold medals, half a world away BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Hannah Brandt had occasion to send out a unique and joyful tweet on April 8. “What’s cooler than winning a gold medal on home ice? Watching your sister do the exact same thing five hours later!” was her message, with the hashtag #proudsister. These hockey-playing sisters from Vadnais Heights each collected a gold medal in world competition that day, Marissa Brandt with South Korea and Hannah Brandt with Team USA. Hannah Brandt and Team USA won the top division of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) tournament in Plymouth, Michigan, defeating Canada 3-2 in overtime. The Americans went 5-0, and Brandt was named player of the game after delivering the go-ahead goal in a 5-3 win over Finland. Brandt has played in this tournament three times with two gold medals and a silver. Marissa Brandt, born in South Korea and adopted when she was four months old, helped the South Koreans — who will host the 2018 Winter Olympics — capture the (IIHF) Division II Group A championship in Gangneug, South Korea. The squad of North American players with Korean roots went 5-0, beating the Netherlands 2-0 in the finals. Marissa, listed on the roster as Yoon Jung Park, had three assists and a plus-two rating in the tournament. Both played for Hill-Murray High School. Hannah, 23, a high-scoring forward, was Miss Hockey in 2012, then was one of the stars for the Minnesota Gophers in three national championship seasons, making All-America herself. Marissa, 24, a defender, helped Gustavus Adolphus win three MIAC titles and reach national semifinals twice.
SUBMITTED
Marissa (left) and Hannah celebrate the Gophers’ national championship in 2015.
The sisters were once featured by a metro daily when Hannah and the Gophers were 36-0 and Marissa and the Gusties were 26-0-1. Marissa Brandt was among the South Korean players interviewed by the New York Times in a Feb. 23 article. The Times reported on South Korea beefing up its hockey program in anticipation of hosting the next Olympics, apparently starting the process by scouring American college rosters online for names
and photos hinting Korean ethnicity. Marissa told the Times: “When I was in the States, I didn’t want to be Korean, I wanted to be like everyone else.” But after several trips to South Korea, starting in 2015, to attend camps and secure citizenship, she had changed her tune. “When I came back, I am Korean.” She stated in a Gustavus Adolphus web site article, Hannah Brandt “It was a little terrifying to go because I knew no one there, did not speak the language and did not know what I was getting myself into. But now looking back, I am so happy I took that leap of faith.” Marissa’s coach in South Korea is Sarah Murray, former Minnesota-Duluth player and daughter of former Los Angeles Kings and St. Louis Blues coach Andy Murray. Hannah's Team USA coach is Robb Marissa Brandt Stauber, former Gopher goaltender. Both players are aiming for the 2018 Olympics.

Generous gift secures naming rights for new theater BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Lakeshore Players Theatre will have a new moniker on its soon-to-be-constructed performing arts center. A $2.75 million gift from a Chicago-based foundation has secured naming rights to the new theater planned for the city's Arts District. The marquee will display the name “Hanifl Performing Arts Center” with “Home of Lakeshore Players Theatre and Children's Performing Arts” in smaller letters underneath.
Paul Hanifl, a vice president of business development for a Chicago health care manufacturing company, and his wife, Suzanne Hanifl, started the foundation about 20 years ago. Their daughter, Sharon Hanifl-Lee, is a Hugo resident and board member of the Children's Performing Arts Center (CPA), a nonprofit currently based in Forest Lake. The name may ring a bell for area residents who have attended youth soccer and lacrosse games at Hanifl Fields in Hugo. The park was named for the family after the foundation awarded $500,000 to Hugo
for a park shelter and athletic fields in 2010. Hanifl-Lee said the foundation's mission is to support communities through programs promoting environmental awareness, conservation, education, the arts and sciences, health and physical fitness. “My parents have been blessed with success,” noted Hanifl-Lee, foundation vice president, “and we feel this success should be shared with the community.” Her involvement with the CPA and seeing its impact on SEE HANIFL GIFT, PAGE 8A

to improve, you have to. It’s that simple. So if you have one or two things you’re working on, try this at your next range session. The concept is you’re going to create two different places in your range area to do two different things. Behind the ball is going to be called the think box. That’s where you’re going to rehearse what you are working on. I like breaking it down into segments. Two, three or four, it doesn’t matter. Swing slow and deliberate. The goal is to feel each position and remind your brain that’s where you want to be. Take as long as you want, and take as many swings as you want. Then it’s time to move into the play box. You’re going to hit three balls without thinking about what you are working on. Just focus on the target and swing. Take your time to make sure your set-up position is good and make sure you have a good tempo. But outside of that, just let it go.
I like to think of each group of three swings as a segment. Maybe have three segments with three or four irons, then your hybrids and finish up with a fairway wood. I would leave the driver out of the equation until you’re good with your other clubs. This type of focused practice will really help you dial in and reinforce exactly what it is you’re trying to change. Swinging in the play box without swing thoughts is perfect practice for what you should be doing on the golf course. Don’t think, just swing with good tempo.

school (cognitive learning). Once you learn the motor skill, you have to practice that skill hundreds (ekes — thousands!) of times to store it in the brain. The term is muscle memory. Studies have shown it takes a minimum of 1500 repetitions to form a habit. It takes a lot more if you are trying to “undo” a habit and learn a new one. The golf swing happens so quickly that your muscles go on autopilot once you start the swing. Try as you might, you will not be able to tell yourself to “make sure you release the clubhead through the impact zone” on your downswing. If you want to “release the clubhead through impact, (or perform any other motor skill) you’re going to have to put in the work and practice so that skill is stored in your brain. The operative word here is WORK. The unfortunate truth is most golfers do not want to take the time and effort that is required to master a new motor skill. The reality is in order

If you’re like most golfers, you will probably spend time on the practice range this year trying to improve your skills. If you are going to put forth the effort, I would suggest you have a plan in place before you start. Your practice habits (or lack thereof) are likely the number one reason why you don’t improve year after year. Tee Time You may take a lesson or two, and assume you Betsy now know the “probLarey lem” and have been told how to “fix it”. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were that simple? Golf is a game of motor skills that must be learned. It requires motor programming, and a lot of repetition. This is very different from learning a math skill in
Jack Rogowski has pitched both wins by White Bear Lake (2-5) in baseball. The senior right-hander, who didn’t throw in 2016 due to arm trouble, went the distance in a 4-2 win over Cretin-Derham Hall (also driving home a run) and threw six innings in a 2-0 win over Woodbury. His ledger is 13 innings, seven hits, seven walks, two runs, and 10 strikeouts. Rogowski pitched and played second base on varsity as a sophomore, and was designated hitter last year.

Looking ahead to 2018 road improvements Parts of Historic District to receive work
Stay awake. Stay informed. Subscribe to win free coffee for a year and an iPad iP Air!* Subscribe today and receive
BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — With 2017 road improvements to begin on Hickory and Dahlia Streets before too long, the city is looking ahead at 2018 road improvements. After a public hearing April 18, the City Council unanimously (Councilman Richard Brainerd absent) voted to pass a resolution ordering work on Public Improvement Project 2018-01, Phase 3 – Historic District Improvements. The resolution authorizes preparation of final plans and specifications, advertisements for bids and preparation of the preliminary proposed assessment roll. Roadway surface needs in the Historic District were identified in 2012, and Phase II of the Historic District improvements was completed in 2016. Phase III was programmed in the city's capital improvements plan for 2018, City Engineer Chris LaBounty said. Council authorized the project at the Dec. 20 meeting, staff held a neighborhood meeting on March 9 and presented the feasibility report and called for a public hearing at the March 21 meeting. The 2018 project includes work on the following roadways: Ash Street, Birch Street, Crocus Street, Doover Lane,
Halcyon Lane, Park Avenue, Wildwood Beach Road, State TH 244 service road and associated alleyways. The total cost of the project is expected to be $2.95 million, with funds taken from the city street improvement fund, utility funds, grant dollars and special assessments on property owners immediately benefitting from the road improvements. The special assessments are expected to amount to $194,300 of the total $2.95 million and will be based according to the city's assessment policy. All lots adjacent to the streets receiving improvement will be assessed and will vary according to the type of structure. The assessment amounts will be considered at a separate hearing, usually in the fall immediately following completion of the road work. Assessments can be prepaid within 30 days or levied over a 10-year period on the property owner's property tax bills. City staff plans to hold one-on-one meetings with individual property owners during the summer to talk about the impact of the project and to listen to concerns. “This method was successful in the Phase II project,” LaBounty said. The city anticipates bidding to take place in December 2017 or January 2018. Work is expected to begin during the spring of 2018 and wrap up in late fall, LaBounty said.

Happy Days are here again “Happy Days: A New Musical” is taking the stage at Lakeshore Players Theatre. Garry Marshall, creator of the hugely popular TV series set in the Midwest, wrote the script for this delightful musical and the legendary Paul Williams composed the music. It re-introduces us to that wonderful cast of characters, Richie Cunningham and his family (Howard, Marion and Joanie), Potsie, Ralph Malph, Chachi, Pinky Tuscadero and, of course, Fonzie. When Arnold’s Malt Shop (run by White Bear’s own Alan Cloud) is threatened with demolition for a proposed mall, Fonzie and the gang step in to try and save the day by holding a dance contest (hosted by Pinky, of course) and a wrestling match featuring Fonzie against the evil Malachi Brothers. Laughs, love, and great music will make for a fun night. Happy Days runs through May 14. Shows are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Lakeshore Players Theatre is located at 4820 Stewart Ave. in White Bear Lake. Tickets are $20-$25 and are available at 651-429-5674 or online at LakeshorePlayers.org.

A new venue near the western entrance to White Bear Lake opened April 20 with a smorgasbord of appetizers and desserts from local caterers. Described as “Southern charm with a Midwest flair,” the Charleston Event Center offers an elegant alternative for brides and grooms seeking a venue in the area. “It's a gateway to White Bear Lake,” said business consultant Lorah Palmer, who worked with owners John and Diane Hartinger to transform the long vacant, former Coldwell Banker Burnet building into The Colonial at 4525 White Bear Pkwy. The Charleston occupies the lower level. “After sleeping for three years, the building has life and energy now,” she added. Palmer owns a company called Palmer Provisions and has consulted for other area assets like Kellerman's Event Center, Vadnais Commons and the new winery in Dellwood still under construction. The Charleston offers an alternative for

brides looking for a mansion-type venue, she noted. A large outdoor veranda that would be suitable for a ceremony is nearly completed. It seats up to 150 people and overlooks a pond. “I'm really proud of these venues,” Palmer said. “There are enough unique choices here that no one has to leave the area.” The building also features luxury office space that is 80 percent occupied. There is a conference and media room and shared kitchen for tenants. John Hartinger, a North Oaks resident, tried to buy the building for several years but it was always too much. “We finally came to an agreement,” he said. He owns multiple properties as well as an online wallpaper and design business.

Township nabs more money for water rebate program
for buying & servicing your vehicles
BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The township has received an additional $10,000 for the water efficiency rebate program from the Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment. The Town Board approved a request for the funds during its regular meeting April 17. The grant requires a match of one-third of the funds, so the city would add an additional $3,300 to the rebate program. If the money is not used before the end of June, it can be returned, noted Town Clerk Bill Short. “We do have some applicants in line that requested funds after we ran out of funds,” Short said. “So, we think we can handle it. We do have some lined up — although not enough for the entire $10,000 — and we think it’s worth a try.” Those eligible can receive, according to the township website: • Up to $200 for a WaterSense labeled toilet • Up to $200 for a WaterSense irrigation system controller • Up to $150 for an Energy Star residential clothes washing machine Those eligible can apply through mail or in person at the township administrative offices until the end of June.

• Supervisors unanimously approved a quote from Modern Fencing for $22,150 for several projects in Polar Lakes Park. The improvements would include adding a batting cage access gate for maintenance projects, repairing the fence that was taken down for drainage and irrigation projects last fall, and removing the existing outfield fence and replacing the posts at field four. The money would come from the Polar Lakes Park Improvement Fund. • The board also approved a contract not exceeding $15,000 with Precision Sealcoating Inc. for the company to seal cracks in the road in various parts of town. City staff is contracting the work as staff is currently too busy with maintenance projects as the weather gets warmer. Staff will update the website for locations of improvements when the work starts to take place. • The board heard a report on the Northeast Youth and Family Services program, which is celebrating its 40-year anniversary. President and CEO Jerry Hromatka went over the organization’s services, funding, budget and how Northeast Youth and Family Services aids youth and seniors with mental health issues in White Bear Township and other municipalities that support the program. “We don’t say, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ we say, ‘How would you like it to be?’” Hromatka said during the meeting. “What we are trying to do is remove the issue of mental health so kids can learn.” More information about the program can be found at the Northeast Youth and Family Services website, www.nyfs.org.

Lake level creeping up inch by inch BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The lake continues a slow recovery from its lowest point four years ago. The guy responsible for monitoring lake level for the White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) reported an elevation of 923.04 feet at the board's April 18 meeting. “The machine that reads the lake level is fi xed,” noted Mike Parenteau, the city's representative on the 10-person board. “We broke the 923-foot barrier.” The lake homeowner added that the level is 4 feet above the all-time low set in 2013 and 13 inches above last year's reading at this time. The water is still cold, however. The temperature last week was 52 degrees, compared to 53 degrees last year. White Bear Township board member Diane Longville thanked Parenteau for braving the cold water and placing the shallow water buoys just north of the Ramsey County boat launch, the Ordway rock bar, point of the island, Bellaire point rock bar and a rocky area in Schneider's Bay.
Other business conducted at the monthly meeting included the following: • A plea from Larry Mahoney of Birchwood to enforce the board's dock placement order. Mahoney and his wife Susan, a WBLCD director, have had an ongoing dispute with the Harrod family over dock placement. The order stated the Harrods were to place their dock in the middle of their property. Mahoney said they had not followed that order and claimed a discrepancy in their lot width, which Mahoney said is 43 feet according to county tax records. He told the board the Harrods claim 36.5 feet. He fi led a complaint with the WBLCD, which governs dock placement. He is asking for the board to enforce the order. • Agreed to commit up to $3,000 for watercraft inspectors. The DNR will match the amount. Inspections are a way to keep invasive species from entering and leaving the lake. The money was not in the budget, but eight board members voted for the expenditure; two did not. • Heard that Parenteau has stepped up to chair the new Commercial Bay Task Group. He is looking for committee volunteers. • Heard that the Lake Level Resolution Committee plans to reconvene after a long hiatus. Committee chair Pat McCann of Dellwood told

the board some topics have been identified for a future meeting; one that is particularly relevant is phosphorus loading, he said. • Accepted a bid to spend $3,100 for a Eurasian watermilfoil survey by aquatic scientist Steve McComas. The board had budgeted $3,200. • Agreed to spend $4,920 on law enforcement for the lake. Ramsey County water patrol is charging $41 per hour and will spend 120 hours enforcing speed limits, boating while intoxicated and “obnoxious behavior.” Lake etiquette rules will also be posted at spots around the lake. • Heard a treasurer's report from Longville. She reported a balance of $142,000 in the WBLCD checking account.

Cutting-edge glasses give color to the colorblind BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — For one resident who lives on the shores of Birch Lake, the waters looked especially blue last summer. Shawn Pettman, a fisherman and outdoorsman, tried EnChroma tinted glasses for colorblindness last summer and found the grass greener and the lake bluer. Fishing on White Bear Lake and Birch Lake became a new experience. “I enjoy scenery outside a lot more,” Pettman said. “It has kind of enriched my life.” Pettman said he almost returned the glasses from the online retailer. An online test from EnChroma determined his red-green colorblindness was strong and the glasses might not give him a dramatic improvement. He ordered them anyway and when he first put them on, nothing happened. “I kept wearing them and I started to notice everyday things like street signs were really green,” he noted. Pettman's experience is just as normal as the popular YouTube videos showing colorblind people seeing dramatic changes within minutes, according to Kent Streeb, EnChroma director of marketing. The glasses are not a cure or fix for colorblindness and only work for four out of five red-green colorblind people, Streeb added. Even then, they don't provide 100 percent color vision, and results are different for individuals. However, the tinted sunglasses can provide new experiences and abilities to colorblind people. “Sunsets looked a lot more vibrant and richly colored,” Pettman noted. He also saw more fall colors with the glasses; reds popped whereas in the past they looked more brownish. Kurt Goossen, of Woodbury, said he got the glasses last summer and took a drive along the St. Croix River with his family last fall. “It was absolutely amazing,” he remembered. “I thought it was beautiful before, now it is much more vibrant.” Greg Doyle, of White Bear Lake, also purchased EnChroma glasses about a year ago. Doyle said he could see more

fall colors with the glasses but thinks he still cannot see the full range of shimmering colors. But he can see orange better. “I never understood why hunters wore orange,” he remembered. He first really saw purple at US Bank Stadium. “I never really noticed purple before,” he said. Doyle is actually a Packers fan, so hopes to wear the glasses in Green Bay someday. Doyle has used both the indoor and outdoor versions of EnChroma glasses. He uses the less tinted indoor glasses for computer work at his job at Medtronic and for his gig editing videos for local sports teams. Being able to see the orange that White Bear Lake Area Schools fans wear has been helpful, he noted. At Medtronic, his work includes CAD design, and his glasses have helped him with seeing various colors on screen and graphs. “It's not like it perfectly cures it, but it helps,” he noted. One of the most significant changes for Doyle has been driving — green lights used to look simply white and orange construction signs didn't pop. “Wearing them allows me to be a safer driver, which benefits me, my family and others who encounter me on the road,” he noted.
able. The glasses alleviate the overlap with a lens that filters out small slices of light, creating a more accurate ratio of light entering the three photopigments in the eye, according to EnChroma. Colorblindness is typically inherited genetically and carried recessively on the X chromosome. Women have two X chromosomes and men only have one, so that is why men are more prone to colorblindness. EnChroma makes glasses that can be worn over prescription glasses and can also make lenses, including prescription lenses, for frames. The glasses range from about $300 to $400. The company is currently developing a contact lens version of the glasses, Streeb said. In the past, optometrists have recom-
mended a red contact lens in one eye to help colorblindness, but it causes one eye to look dark red, Doyle noted. Pettman remembers hearing about the red-tinted contacts when he was a child but said they just made everything look redder. “I've been waiting for a product like this for a long time,” Pettman said of the glasses. He wishes optometrists carried EnChroma glasses, but only about 30 retailers across the U.S. have started carrying them. For more information, visit enchroma. com.

EnChroma began in California in 2010 after nearly a decade of research. Chief scientist and co-founder Don McPherson was playing ultimate frisbee one day while wearing special eyewear he had developed to protect the eyes of doctors from lasers during surgeries, Streeb noted. A colorblind teammate tried on the glasses and began to marvel at the colors he had never seen before. McPherson and co-founder Andy Schmeder proceeded to research the potential of glasses for the colorblind with grants. The glasses help with the most common form of colorblindness — red-green — where the red and green photopigments in the back of the eye overlap too much, causing distinct hues to be indistinguish-
