Learning the value of our water resources
Bill to address lake challenges introduced ST. PAUL — A bill that searches for answers to White Bear Lake’s water issues was introduced in the Minnesota Senate April 21 by Sen. Chuck Wiger (DFL-Maplewood). The bipartisan bill — co-authors include Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes) — will study the effectiveness of an augmentation system. In a press release from his office, Sen. Wiger said the bill is a demonstration of all parties coming together to work towards a sustainable remedy to the issues that have been plaguing the lake for a decade. The $3.63 million bill includes a $1.5 million appropriation to evaluate the long-term water supply and sustainability in the north and east metro area. The bill also dictates that the study will examine how water quality could be maintained under an augmentation system or any other potential impacts to the ecology of White Bear Lake. The other major component of the bill requests $1.7 million to perform augmentation planning and preliminary engineering tasks. This includes collecting soil samples and determining the need for a tunnel. “I’m really proud that so many different stakeholders in this issue have come together to support this legislation. It’s important to me that we find a sustainable and affordable solution to the White Bear Lake water issues that also enjoys local support. These studies will give us the credible, scientific evidence we need to proceed down a longterm path to finding a sustainable solution,” said Sen. Wiger.

South Campus physics teacher named 2016 Teacher of the Year BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Philip Wacker is White Bear Lake Area High School’s 2016 Teacher of the Year. Wacker was nominated by high school student Grant Loehlein, who lauded Wacker for genuinely caring about his students in his physics class. “Mr. Wacker is more than an educator,” said Loehlein. Loehlein also noted Wacker's fun teaching style and how he helps students after class. “Mr. Wacker brings energy to the classroom when no one has any,” he said. “He is always there to encourage us when we think physics is just too hard.” Wacker began employment with the
White Bear district as a physics teacher in 2013. He has worked for several other districts. “Being in White Bear is by far my favorite,” he said. Wacker teaches at South Campus and the Area Learning Center. Wacker cited empowering students as his teaching motivation. “They [students] really deserve the best we have to offer them,” he said. Wacker received a $1,000 gift from the White Bear Lake Lions Club, which the club hopes each Teacher of the Year will use to continue their education. Wacker will also ride in a float in the Manitou Days parade. The Teacher of the Year program is also sponsored by PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Governor recognizes ‘Water Hero’
Grandma's Bakery
As Water Action Week concluded on Earth Day, April 22, Gov. Mark Dayton honored Minnesota “Water Heroes” for their efforts to protect and improve the quality and availability of water in Minnesota, and around the world. White Bear Lake resident Patty Hall, a former teacher and co-founder of H2O for Life, was one of those honored for her work with H2O and another local nonprofit, Race 2 Reduce. Back in 2007, Hall brought students at her school together to raise awareness and funds to address serious global water challenges. Today the H2O for Life curriculum helps teach students across Minnesota about water challenges and inspires action, through fundraising for international water quality projects, organizing walks for water, and establishing a clean water ethic that will benefit the state and the world for years to come. Sen. Chuck Wiger and Rep. Peter Fischer were both instrumental in getting these water conservation educational projects funded. Race 2 Reduce is currently being implemented in the White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi School Districts. Paul Steinhauser is director of that initiative. Press release

Shark Tank without the salt ’m a big fan of “Shark Tank”, the TV show that allows entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas to billionaire investors for funding in return for a stake in their company. Jim Mishek’s idea was to launch the “Muskie Tank” scholarships competition at Century College as a similar idea. The concept pairs student entrepreneurs and inventors with mentors. The challenge to students is to create a business plan and present it. The students submit an application and are interviewed. The finalists present their ideas to a panel of local business owners, professionals, CEOs and Century staff. What makes Century College and this unique is that the winner Publisher’s program is an automatic semifinalist at the Minnesota Cup competition where View the grand prize is $80,000. Carter Johnson I was honored and nervous when asked to be on the panel, and searched to find my inner Mark Cuban. I watched “Shark Tank” to get prepared. I even practiced saying, “I just don’t see a market for your product and for that reason, I’m out,” but I never was able to use it. The presentations were solid, the students were passionate, and they were prepared with power point presentations and prototypes that were 3-D printed or hand-sewn. I thought some of the ideas could be on the market within a year. Ideas ranged from sporting good apparatuses to eco-friendly power stations, social media, retail stores, static marketing and medical devices for the blind. At the end of the day we had to pick five finalists and select a winner. As we struggled to find a finalist, Mr. Mishek shared the good news that we could give a $1,000 scholarship to all five finalists but we needed to pick a winner. Adam Hook, Jack Laven, Derek Loe, Rose Kamrow, Mitchell LeGrand and Tou Lee were it. The winners were recognized at the Century College Foundation breakfast last week. Guests were also given tours of the new science and technology Fab Lab. Mitchell Le Grand was selected as the 2016 grand prize Muskie Tank winner, and will represent Century College and our community at the Minnesota Cup. My participation in the Muskie Tank was a reminder of what an asset Century College is to our community. I think of Century and other community colleges as practical, affordable education opportunities that prepare students to succeed in high-paying, local technical jobs. Jack knife still practical When my wife moved her 97-year-old grandmother from Connecticut to Stillwater last fall, grandma, who went through airport security in a wheelchair, was stopped and searched. It seemed ridiculous until the TSA agent pulled a giant Swiss Army knife from the bottom of her purse. The helpful agent suggested they mail it home. My 9-year-old son was pretty excited when it showed up. I think every kid should have a pocket knife. My first Swiss Army knife was a great tool for little projects, as it had both a regular and a Phillips screw driver, a leather hole punch, nail file and can opener. I carried that knife everywhere – to school, on bike trips, out on the lake and even on the airplane. It was fun to just sit and whittle a stick. Today, the practicality of the pocket knife has lost out to the fear of it being used as a weapon, and little boys everywhere are missing out. A good pocketknife is a tool that encourages kids be resourceful and creative – skills that are increasingly lacking in the electronics-driven world we live in. So give your kid or grandchild a pocketknife – just set some rules and teach them safety and common sense.

Deconstruction of the “Melting Pot” ecently a friend made a comparison between two movies, Star Trek and Hunger Games. Star Trek was about unity. There were obvious differences between the crew members like race, gender, and nationalities. Nonetheless, the crew members had much more in common and spent little-to-no time dwelling on those differences. Because of that understanding Legislator and their devotion to a cause bigger Lingo than themselves, they accomplished Roger great things. Hunger Chamberlain Games was the opposite. It was about division. Differences were exploited; fear, resentment, and envy were used to maintain control and rob people of hope. Only a few people thrived while most lived in misery and despair. I, like many others, have had similar experiences. When I was 17 I decided I would enlist in the Armed Forces. I conducted my research, visited recruiters and advised my parents of my plans. Soon after my 18th birthday I enlisted in the Navy. I served, returned to civilian life, and within a few years joined the Army National Guard.
R
I humbly submit if we are to remain a robust, vibrant and diverse society and nation, we must resist the temptation to keep dividing ourselves into subgroups. Most of us believed in the philosophy summed up by Donovan Campbell in his book, “The Leaders Code” – “mission, character and service.” It means that there are causes bigger than ourselves; that the needs of others came before our own personal needs; and development of character is the foundation of servant leadership. One of the best military experiences I had was living and working closely with men and women from every walk of life and corner of the nation. It was the “Melting Pot.” Of course there were many differences between us, but we had much more in common. In the end we lived out our nation’s motto: We were many, but we came together as one. This spirit is unlike that of any other nation and makes us truly unique. As a public servant in the Minnesota Legislature I constantly draw from my military experiences. After six years of legislative service I am disheartened at what we have lost in our state
and nation. I submit we are going backward and breaking apart. For example, I was recently in a committee hearing about legislation to further disaggregate student data. While I was listening, I began to think about the larger implications of continuing down this path. Breaking us down into data points cannot fully explain the human experience or resolve all of our problems. While data is important, the obsession with our differences is also dehumanizing. It distracts us from a larger purpose; it has a paralyzing effect that prevents us from moving forward. As people, as a society, we become, in essence, nothing more than the sum of our parts. I humbly submit if we are to remain a robust, vibrant and diverse society and nation, we must resist the temptation to keep dividing ourselves into subgroups. I am proud of my service not only because I believe in the American Idea, but because I saw it work and I am a better person because of it. My sincere hope is we will renew our efforts to focus on what we have in common, and we will once again realize that though we may be many, we are better off when we are one. Sen. Roger Chamberlain represents District 38 in the Minnesota Senate.

The gift of middle age his May, Northeast Youth & Family Services will celebrate 40 years of serving our community. We’ve hit middle age – and we’re happy about it. Why no “middle-age crisis”? Because with age comes many gifts. This is just as true with people as it is with organizations. Some of you who are reading this column are at, or have even passed, the point of middle age and can look back on a wealth of experiences, good and bad, that have shaped you into the person you are today. You may have become stronger, wiser and more grateful for who you are because of what you have been through. NYFS has weathered economic storms, experienced growing pains and has said goodbye to good people and great programs over the years due to circumstances beyond our control. We’ve also experienced the joy and privilege of helping people get the help they need and get their lives back on track. That roller coaster ride never gets any easier but the more it happens, the better able we are to enjoy the ups, take the downs in stride, maintain our focus, and keep moving in a positive direction. Many
T
of you can say that, too. And most of us middle agers can agree it is often easier to navigate that bumpy ride in our 40’s than it was in our 20’s. Middle age also brings an increased awareness of our need for others and our duty to contribute to the communities that support and sustain us. NYFS Outpatient Mental Director Movers and Health Rachel Cain says this Shakers is true for people and organizations. As Jerry Hromatka our population ages and more middleand senior-aged people seek out our services, Cain says she is encouraged by the wealth of experience older people bring with them when they seek help. And we are glad to share ours - because we know how much help we’ve received over the decades. NYFS started in 1976 as a group effort between concerned citizens, local law enforcement and mental health professionals. They wanted to fi nd new and more effective ways to support youth and families and
Middle age also brings an increased awareness of our need for others and our duty to contribute to the communities that support and sustain us. help them lead healthier, happier and more productive lives. They also knew that no one person could tackle this problem alone. So they joined together and in so doing, served one hundred families during that fi rst year of operation. Forty years later, NYFS partners with 15 municipalities, 6 main school districts and numerous other organizations to transform the lives of 4,000 youth, adults and families every year. We are honored to have worked with so many wonderful people and organizations in this community. We certainly couldn’t have done this alone. While NYFS ponders these gifts of middle age, Cain adds that people of any age will benefit from pausing
every once in a while to take stock of the impact they’ve made on loved ones, friends and their community. Asking the following questions can help anyone identify areas of achievement and areas that need improvement: Is my influence positive or negative? What am I most proud of? What would I most like to change? Who or what can help me make that change?. Regardless of age, Cain adds that it is never too late to do a little better today than you did the day before. What we’ve learned in the last 40 years has helped us improve and refi ne our methods to emerge stronger and more able to serve our community. But more importantly, the youth, adults and families we’ve helped are stronger and better prepared to live happy and productive lives. We’re excited to see what the future brings. Our fi rst 40 years have prepared us for the next 40. Thank you for your help in achieving this milestone. And please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can offer some help in return. Jerry Hromatka is Executive Director of Northeast Youth and Family Services.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Use democratic approach to lake fix I very much appreciated the note by Mike Downing on the White Bear Lake augmentation efforts. It was particularly good to find out it would not be as expensive as initially proposed. Since it is less expensive, it seems that Friends of White Bear Lake should have no difficulty in finding individuals who are willing to voluntarily cover the costs of augmentation. If they cannot, then it would seem reasonable that we follow a democratic approach and allow those who would be affected by the cost the opportunity to vote on whether to do augmentation. Or, we could follow a much less costly way to save the environment for our children and grandchildren. Rather than addressing the symptoms through augmentation, we could address the root cause by implementing conservation-focused water-use policies that are the true long-term solution. Douglas Wholey Dellwood
Because he said so As a wrestling fan of over 25 years, it was great to read about our local neighbor Andrea Nisler’s competition on TV’s “Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge” in the paper (“Local competes in show of strength,” April 20, Vadnais Heights Press). However, it was disheartening
that the iconic wrestler who stars in the show was given short shrift. We don’t refer to Hulk Hogan by his real name, Terry Bollea. Nobody ever leaves out “The Rock” in Duane “The Rock” Johnson when discussing his crossover appeal. And even our own local ex-governor is known as “The Body.” It pains me to see that the toughest SOB in sports entertainment, the “Texas Rattlesnake,” was just given the name of Steve Austin, ignoring what the world knows him as. And that’s the bottom line, because “Stone Cold” said so! John Enoch Vadnais Heights
Stop vilifying ‘1 percenters’ The editorial cartoon in the April 20 edition of the White Bear Press depicting “one percenters” as white, male, fat cat millionaires who don’t pay taxes is not funny and an outright lie. Press Publications, a neighborhood paper, should be ashamed of perpetuating this myth and continuing the vilification of those who earn a very good living, because the “one percenters” walk amongst us every day. Who are the mysterious “one percenters?” According to the Economic Policy Institute, to be a 1 percenter in Minnesota you need an annual household income of $414,000.
Yes that’s a great income, which generates a lot of tax revenue to the state. “One percenters” are not freeloaders as the cartoon depicts, nor are they cheats using exclusive schemes to avoid taxes. The real “one percenters” pay taxes at the highest rate Minnesota charges; there are no loopholes, write-offs or legal tax schemes. The “one percenters” pay proportionately less tax relative to income at the local level only because the majority of local taxes are tied to personal property taxes, which in most cases are tied to the value of a home. As can be verified at the Minnesota Department of Revenue website, “one percenters” still pay more taxes in real dollars in local taxes than those who earn less. The truth is that “one percenters” are made up of Minnesotans as vast as the population and thankfully include men and women of all races, religions and educational backgrounds. The handful of people worldwide who are involved in the “Panama Papers” are from many countries around the world and are not the “one percenters.” Finally, according to the Minnesota Department of Revenue’s website, approximately 30 percent of all Minnesotans paid no income tax. At the federal level, estimates are that 48 percent of Americans pay no income tax. The cartoon doesn’t vilify those who legitimately pay no taxes, why vilify the “one percenters” who really do pay taxes? Stop perpetuating the lies. James J. Jungbauer White Bear Lake

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS April marks anniversary The mother of Nathan Edberg asked that the anniversary of his disappearance be noted. He has been missing since April 14, 1999. "His truck was found abandoned with the doors locked and lights off in a rather busy area of the north metro highway system, I-694 and
Hwy. 61," Jackie Edberg said in her email. "The Ramsey County Sheriff still considers Nathan's disappearance an active case and yet no one has heard or seen him since that evening in April 1999. He was my oldest child and is still missed by his family every day. We would appreciate no matter how large or small, any

Distracted driving crackdown nets culprits More than 300 law enforcement agencies worked overtime hours to enforce the state's no texting while driving law during the weeklong offensive. State Patrol Public Information Officer Lt. Tiffani Nielson said the Office of Public Safety is still compiling traffic stops for the Distracted Driving Wave. The first citation conviction for the wireless communication law is $50, she said. The fine jumps an additional $225 for second and later convictions, bringing the offense to $275. Hugo resident Hertha Vogt wanted to share her personal experience with distracted driving. Her sisterin-law Lucille Vogt was killed five years ago in a head-on collision near Parker's Prairie. The woman who hit her was 19 and seriously injured. She had sent and received 15 texts just prior to the crash. "Park your phone when you drive," Hertha urged. "No message is worth a life." The driver who survived was charged with vehicular homicide and operating a motor vehicle in a grossly negligent manner. She pleaded guilty to the felony and was sentenced to serve two months in jail, fined $1,000 and placed on 10 years’ probation. Debra Neutkens Drivers caught texting in Ramsey County are hit with a $126 fine.
BARBARA BLUSH PINK
The White Bear Lake Police Department issued 18 citations for texting and driving during the statewide Distracted Driving Education and Enforcement Wave April 11-17. The number of females surpassed the males 11 to 7 and there was no accounting for age. The youngest to get nabbed texting behind the wheel was 17; the oldest, a 64-year-old woman. According to statistics from the Office of Traffic Safety at the state Department of Public Safety, a quarter of all crashes are attributed to distracted driving. Talking on a phone while driving is discouraged, but legal. The state statute pertaining to the law is Use of a Wireless Communications Device, noted Captain Phil Henry with the city's patrol division. It was passed in 2008. Henry said it is illegal to read an email, send a text message or access the Internet for anything while behind the wheel, even if stopped in traffic or at a red light. The fine in Ramsey County District Court is $126. Sgt. Joe Stoehr with the Washington County Sheriff's Office Patrol Division said two citations were issued in Mahtomedi for distracted driving: a 25-year-old man and a 19-yearold woman. One citation was issued in Hugo to a 27-year-old woman.

Chuck & Don’s plans expansion in Mahtomedi
Northbound I-35E lane closure begins
SUBMITTED
Road construction along I-35E at County Road 96 and County Road E will continue this year.
VADNAIS HEIGHTS — Drivers will encounter single-lane traffic on northbound I-35E in the northeast Twin Cities metro area beginning Thursday, April 28 through late May. Beginning at 6 a.m. Thursday, April 28, the northbound lanes of I-35E between County Road E and Goose Lake Road in Vadnais Heights will be reduced to a single lane. All businesses and residences will remain accessible throughout the project. MnDOT urges motorists to always be attentive, drive with caution and slow down in work zones. The lane closures are part of the twoyear I-35E Goose Lake Road and County Highway 96 road resurfacing project. In addition to resurfacing, the work includes widening the road, re-decking and widening the County Highway 96 bridge, replacing the I-35E bridges over Goose Lake Road, updating drainage, repairing guardrail and constructing a trail. The work is expected to be complete by Dec. 2016. The freeway will experience intermittent lane closures in both directions between County Road E and Hwy 96 throughout the project. The northbound I-35E ramp to County Road E is expected to be closed until early May. The County Road E ramp to northbound I-35E will open by mid-June. Single-lane traffic on Highway 96 in both directions will continue, as well as closure of the southbound I-35E ramp to Highway 96 and the northbound ramp to I-35E from Highway 96. The ramp from southbound I-35E to County Road E will close from June to September. Closure of the northbound ramp onto Highway 96 will begin in June. MnDOT will not take away access to I-35E at Highway 96 and County Road E at the same time. In the future, I-35E and Highway 96 will have weekend closures. At some point Goose Lake Road will be closed for 14 months. For more information, visit the project website mndot.gov/metro/projects/ i35vadnaisheights.

MAHTOMEDI — The City Council at its April 19 meeting unanimously approved a site plan and a 7.5-foot sideyard setback variance in two resolutions for Chuck & Don's Pet Food Outlet at 910 Wildwood Road. The business can now expand by 1,600 square feet, southward. The owners of Chuck & Don's, B and C Real Estate LLC, requested the setback variance from the required minimum sideyard setback of 15 feet. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval. City staff and consultants reviewed the application and found it in compliance with the eight burden of proof criteria for a variance and other requirements. Council approval was also contingent on five additional actions, which include the applicant providing three trees on either the 906 or 910 Wildwood Road parcels. A landscaping plan must also be approved by the cities of Mahtomedi and White Bear Lake and the applicant must provide striped crosswalks at the sidewalks between the two parcels and obtain a separate permit from White Bear Lake for all work proposed at 906 Wildwood Road. The city of White Bear Lake is involved in the approval process because Chuck & Don’s property at 906 Wildwood Road is part of White Bear Lake, even though it lies east of the Mahtomedi property at 910 Wildwood Road. Throughout Mahtomedi, there are a few islands of land that are part of White Bear Lake, and the eastern part of Chuck & Don’s Pet Food Outlet is one of those islands. The property at 906 Wildwood Road is in White Bear Lake because at one time, the owner wanted that parcel to have access to White Bear Lake city water and sewer, which wasn't available from Mahtomedi, said Councilwoman Lael Ramaley.

• Approved an amendment to Chapter 11, Section 11.01 of the Zoning Code relating to accessory dwelling units. The proposed amendment defi nes an accessory dwelling unit and allows for accessory dwelling units in all the city's residential zoning districts as a conditional use. An accessory dwelling unit (sometimes known as a “mother-in-law addition”) is a secondary dwelling that is physically attached to a single-family dwelling or on a lot with a single-family dwelling. An accessory dwelling unit can be attached to or within an accessory building. The accessory dwelling unit must be smaller than the single-family dwelling, fully separated from the single-family dwelling by a wall or floor; use a separate entrance than the primary dwelling unit and meet all other requirements to be a legal dwelling unit. To be a legal dwelling unit, sanitation facilities, cooking facilities and sleeping facilities must be present. A conditional use permit (CUP) would be required for all accessory dwelling units. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the amendment. • Approved a new, on-sale intoxicating and Sunday liquor license application from William Sheffield of Tacos Fresh Sports Cantina, to be located in the former Starbucks site in the Lincoln Square Build-
ing, 3124 Century Ave. N. • Heard from several residents living on Briarwood Avenue who have been spending thousands of dollars to inspect and replace their noncompliant well and septic systems as directed by city ordinance. They noted that their street is in poor condition and is scheduled for possible reconstruction in 2018. Since the road repairs were expected to include city water and sewer, the residents asked council to consider excluding them from any requirements to hook up to city water and sewer as otherwise they would be paying twice for infrastructure. • Learned from City Administrator Scott Neilson that since the passing of the beekeeping ordinance, the city had received four permit applications to keep bees within the city. • Proclaimed April 29 as Arbor Day 2016 and the month of May as Arbor Month in Mahtomedi. In 2009, the city applied for Tree City USA designation and is now one of 140 such cities in the state. To become a Tree City USA, a city must establish a tree board or department, approve a tree care ordinance, establish a tree budget of at least $2 per resident and plan an annual Arbor Day celebration. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 3 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

Trains won't stop county trail extension BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Activity is afoot regarding the Bruce Vento Trail. The director of planning and development with the Ramsey County Parks Department said the project is once again moving forward. There was a lull while the county waited to hear the outcome of conversations about use of the rail line to Hugo, but the department has decided to push on with a preliminary plan. The rail corridor would have been a logical place for placement of the trail. "We wanted some of that rail discussion to play out, so we held tight," said Director Scott Yonke. "We've decided the timeline of our plan isn't going to align with what's happening with the railway or with the Rush Line Corridor. Federal grant funding is expiring sooner than we thought, so we needed to move forward with the planning." Two open houses are planned to gather community input on preliminary designs for the trail, which will run from Buerkle Road to Highway 96W. They are scheduled: • May 18, 4-6 p.m. at the Boatworks Commons community room, White Bear Lake • May 25, 4-6 p.m. at the Vadnais Sports Center, Vadnais Heights City Manager Ellen Richter called it "great news" that the county was seeking public input on trail design. "We've been anticipating a trail for many years,"
she said. "We're quite encouraged by the progress." White Bear city staff recently met with Yonke and county parks personnel to talk about the trail. "Their end goal is to secure federal grant funds," Richter noted. "After learning the rail is here to stay, the county is moving aggressively on the project." It's too soon to know what the cost will be to extend the Bruce Vento Trail to White Bear Lake. "The preliminary plans will get the county to the point where we understand where the alignment should go and the impacts," Yonke said. "The timeline won't align with decisions about the rail or Rush Line." Does the county have a completion date for the project? The parks planner said he expects the trail section to be completed within five years. "That would be a realistic timeframe to include final design and construction," Yonke replied. Eventually the Bruce Vento Trail will extend north to County Road J at the Washington County line and connect to the Hardwood Creek Trail, which runs north from Hugo to Forest Lake. Walkability advocate Mike Brooks of White Bear Lake called the county's decision to proceed with an alignment "a major breakthrough." "This comes at a time when White Bear Lake and our neighboring township are engaged with the county in deeper and more significant discussions on area roads to bring balance to the safe transportation options for the motorized and nonmotorized user," Brooks noted. The county's proposed alignment, he added, is "in-

fusing momentum and hope" back into a project that has been part of the local discussion as the de facto north-south safe bike and pedestrian route for the region since the late 1990s. "The county's decision to proceed with an alternative alignment (to the rail corridor) realizes that we, as a collection of communities, cannot tie the advancement of this vital regional and local connection to the business model of either Burlington Northern Santa Fe or Minnesota Commercial," said Brooks.

and hit a relatively solid shot every time? Remember, hooks and slices are caused by an incorrect swing plane and an open or closed club face. Here’s the best way to groove your swing. Use the same set up as above. Practice bringing the club to position 1 and stop. Next, start at position 1 and go to your new “top” and stop. Then do it all in one sequence. Do all three of these very slowly so you can feel each position, 10 to 20 repetitions. Finally, practice the entire swing in your normal tempo. Remember, it takes 1500 repetitions to form a habit. This will keep you busy on these cool wet spring days.
of the
I teach I call this position 1. If the ottoman is in the right position, the shaft should be parallel with it. Stop and take a look at your right leg. Your knee should be flexed and pointing straight ahead. Next, keep turning into your backswing. Go to wherever you normally stop at the top of your swing. Now check and see if you’re in a good position. Here’s the three key points. 1) Did you lose your spine tilt and stand up? 2) Did your left arm bend? 3) Finally, is your right knee still in the same position as your address position or did you allow it to straighten or turn outward? If any of these three things occurred during your backswing, you’ve lost your good golf posture and you will have to make compensations in your forward swing to make solid contact. Now you need to figure out where the top of your backswing should be. Set up again and go back to position 1. From there start turning very slowly into your backswing, paying attention to the three key points. Whenever you see/ feel a breakdown of one of the three, that’s where the top of your swing should be. At this point in your backswing, you should feel “loaded” into your right cheek. Maybe your swing will be three quarters of what you think it should be. Even if it’s half that’s fine as well. As long as you are able to keep your wrist hinge intact and release correctly through impact you will get about 80-85 percent of your maximum distance. Wouldn’t you rather have a consistent forward swing

Every time I open up one of the golf magazines there seems to be the same reoccurring theme; be like Ricky, be like Jordan, be like (used to be Tiger) or whoever. I really feel they do a disservice to the average golfer who is just Tee Time trying to be better instead of being someone else. As with Coach Oscar Wilde so aptly statBetsy ed, “be yourself, everybody else is taken.” Larey So if your goal is to lower your score and hit better shots this year,why not take the time to figure out what you’re capable of doing and work on perfecting “that”, whatever that may be. I suggest a good place to start is to see what your body looks like at the top of your full swing. Here’s how to do it. Take a short iron and face a full length mirror. Get in your good address position. That would be a slight tilt from the hips while keeping your back straight, shoulders directly over toes with arms hanging loosely down, and a slight knee flex while sticking your rear end out. Make sure your weight is on the balls of your feet. If you can, put an ottoman against your right leg, making sure that it is touching the outside of your right knee while keeping it behind you. You need to be able to swing without hitting it. From here you’re going to start your take away. The goal is to have the shaft parallel with your stance line, the toe of the club turned slightly in.

Fishing club trolling for members A few students who love to fish hooked up last May with some willing adults to form a club. Officers were elected, including Derek Legrand, president, and bylaws adopted for the White Bear Lake Area High School Fishing Club. The fledgling co-ed group had 18 members mentored by Todd Krantz, Tim Snyder and Jacob Montgomery, a teacher at South Campus. Meetings covered topics like casting, making baits, fish habits, and more. In June, two teams entered a bass tournament on Lake Minnetonka and took eighth and ninth out of 36 teams. In August, three teams entered a bass tournament on Lake Waconia. Spencer Schmidt and teammate Parker Prescott took first place with a string of five fish weighing 15.88 pounds. Prescott also had the biggest bass of the tournament at 4.2 pounds. When the school year started in
September, the club grew to 50 students. Winter time meant ice fishing and the club assisted in a fishing tournament for "Jacob's Hope," helped put on a tournament at Big Marine for military veterans and drilled holes for a middle school girls' basketball team. On May 1, members and families celebrate the club's first year with a banquet at Gulden's restaurant. New members, ninth through 12th grade, are always welcome to join the club, which eventually hopes to make tournament fishing a letter sport. Members even have uniforms as two local businesses have stepped up to provide club jerseys: Gulden's and Venburg Tire. For more information, see the White Bear Lake Area High School Fishing Club Facebook page. Submitted by Bob Schmidt

Global studies major awarded college entrepreneur award BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Century College student Mitchell LeGrand never intended to be the winner of the “Muskie Tank” innovation competition. But Thursday morning at Century College’s Future in Bloom event, he was given a $5,000 scholarship for his idea to create a website connecting nonprofits with affordable musicians for events. “That was the last little bit I needed to graduate from the University of Minnesota debt-free,” said LeGrand, who will be transferring there as a global studies major this fall. LeGrand originally signed up for the Muskie Tank competition to learn more about scholarship processes. LeGrand was shocked when he got an email telling him he would be one of 15 semifinalist presenters in front of a panel of judges on April 18. And he was intimidated when he saw that many of the other semifinalists were studying marketing. LeGrand, a musician who is himself a part of three informal bands, came up with the idea to create a website connecting nonprofits with musicians for fundraising and benefit events. Nonprofits and musicians would create profiles. Bands could pay a fee to bid on events planned by the nonprofits. This would eliminate fees paid by nonprofits to the middleman — booking agents. LeGrand was provided with a mentor to work on his innovation presentation. He was paired up with Soma Jurgensen, a business entrepreneur with nonprofit experience. “She’s wonderful,” said LeGrand. “I had no marketing or business background. She was very understanding. It was out of my comfort zone. I’m not a business student.” “He’s a natural,” said Jurgensen. “I’m looking forward to following him through at the MN Cup.” LeGrand also received an automatic semifinalist entry into the MN Cup, the University of Minnesota’s entrepreneur competition. LeGrand hopes to bring his idea to fruition, but is still basking in the surprise of winning the competition and is focused on finishing college. “I didn’t think anything of it,” he said. “It’s a way to help people. It’s nice someone thought it was a good idea. That means a lot.” LeGrand also started a club at Century College called Music for a Cause. Originally he wanted to get musicians to play for nonprofits, but the club took another direction, so he presented his idea at Muskie Tank in another form. LeGrand is a 2014 graduate of White Bear Lake Area High School. He graduates from Century College this spring with an

Associate of Arts degree and three certificates — global studies, communication studies and leadership. Scholarships in the amount of $1,000 were given to five other finalists. Jack Laven came up with an innovation for tablets, Adam Hook with a renewable energy product, Tou Lee with a multiuse travel backpack, Derek Loe with a carbon offset product, and Rosalie Kamrow with a floral shop providing unique services.
How the tank came to be The “Muskie Tank” was inspired by the ABC TV show “Shark Tank,” in which budding entrepreneurs present their ideas to investors. Muskie Tank aims to foster innovation and entrepreneurship for Century College students. Students can submit any innovative products or services they can dream up and present with a prototype or detailed description. Muskie Tank was founded by Jim Mishek of North Oaks. Mishek, a retired manufacturing business leader who founded local molding company VistaTek, was an advisor for an entrepreneurship class at the University of Minnesota. There he learned about the MN Cup. “I thought this would be great at Century College,” he said. The first competition was held during the 2013-2014 school year. Mishek, whose company was a pioneer in 3-D printing, has been impressed with the students’ projects over the years. “It just gets better and better,” he said. Century College’s winner now gets an automatic entry as a semifinalist in the
MN Cup. Certain area schools have been invited to enter their entrepreneurial competition winners in the MN Cup. “We are the only two-year school that has gotten that honor,” said Mishek. When Mishek introduces the Muskie Tank opportunity to students each year at Century he puts a footstool near the doorway. If anyone moves it so people don’t have to veer around it, he gives them $100. He wants students to recognize “footstools” in their world — and learn how to come up with innovations to remove them. “It’s fun working with the students,” said Mishek. “There is so much energy and enthusiasm.” “Jim has been such a friend to the college and students,” said Michael Berndt, vice president of academic affairs. Judges analyzed students’ ideas and
their presentations based on four criteria: a creative solution to a problem; a sustainable target market; uniqueness or superiority to competitor products or services; and business feasibility strategies and professionalism. Berndt was one of the judges. He enjoyed seeing the students make their pitches “I’m excited by the quality of the presentations,” said Berndt. He encourages students from all fields of study to compete. “This could work as well for an English major as an engineer,” said Berndt. Paul Johnson, president of corporate development at local manufacturing company Wilson Tool, was also a judge. He was impressed by the passion of the student presenters. “They are going to drive their idea forward,” he said.

DISCUSSION/INFORMATION ITEMS – A) Black Box Theater - Kathe Nickleby, Mahtomedi High School Principal and Luanne Wagner, Mahtomedi High School Assistant Principal, reported on the use of the Black Box Theater. During the 2015-2016 school year Advanced Video, Guitar, Piano, and Music and Event Broadcast Production classes are being held during period one, five and six. During the 20162017 school year Guitar, Musical Theater, Events Broadcast Production and Piano classes are scheduled for period five and six with 10 Macintosh computers being moved to an Art Department classroom to create an additional 300 sq. ft. The theater allows students in these courses greater flexibility/creativity and access to industry standard technology with no disruption to other classrooms. Several teachers from Mahtomedi Middle and High School spoke to the school board on the advantages and disadvantages of using the Black Box Theater as a classroom. Julie Conzemius, Middle School Band Teacher, and Derek Anderson, Middle School English Teacher, expressed concerns with the theater not being available for smaller music/band concerts and more intimate theater performances like one act plays. Allen Fossen, Performing Art Manager, spoke to the challenges to reset the theater from classroom to district performance area. The Fine Arts Curriculum Review committee will review this issue. B) Mahtomedi High School and Middle School Registration - Kathe Nickleby, Mahtomedi High School Principal, reported on the changes in the high school registration and curriculum for the 2016-2017 school year: no Business courses due to low student registration, two new Family and Consumer Science (FCS) courses; Baking & Pastries and Essentials Skills For Life, many Science and Engineering electives, so the Biomimicry & Modeling course will combine with the Engineering Capstone course and the Toy Engineering course and the How to Make Almost Anything Electrical course will not be offered, increase in American Sign Language courses to add ASL 2 and ASL 3. Mike Neubeck, Mahtomedi Middle School Principal, reported on the changes in the middle school registration and curriculum for the 20162017 school year: increase from 3 to 4 sections of the FabLab engineering course with declining Choir and Skills for Life enrollments, increase in Spanish I course from 1 to 5 sections with high school credit earned, Spanish II will not be offered, an increase in Art 8 from 2 to 3 sections, decrease in FCS 8 from 5 to 3 sections along with Crime Scene Investigation from 5 to 2 sections. C) Activities Update - Protocols, Philosophy and Budget - Ray Kirch, Activities Director, explained to the school board which sports include grades 7–12 and which sports include grades 9 -12 and why, including when an exceptional athlete is allowed to play up. He also gave the board information on how the Minnesota State High School League determines administrative regions, competitive sections and classifications for high school sports. He will present at a future board meeting on a process to respond to student/parent complaints. Rochel Manders, Director of Business Services, reviewed the high school activities’ revenue and expenditures for the 2014-2015 school year with a deficit of $631,887. D) Open Enrollment - Window #2 (Kindergarten Registration) Update - Superintendent Mark Larson discussed the following with school board members: projected 2016-2017 student enrollment, kindergarten registration numbers, the unknown number of new resident students and number of open enrollment applications to approve in April. E) Consolidation of the Mahtomedi and Stillwater School Districts - Superintendent Larson reviewed and discussed with the school board the March 16, 2016 meeting chaired by Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius for the purpose of examining the plat and supporting statement by 50 petitioners who requested the consolidation of the Mahtomedi and Stillwater School Districts. In a March 21, 2016 letter Commissioner Cassellius deemed that the letter of the state statue had been met, which means she is turning the decision over to the Stillwater and Mahtomedi school boards. She also outlined information that was missing from the petitioners’ request including: the financial impact on taxpayers and a process for consolidation. In light the Commissioner’s determination the Mahtomedi School board will take additional action at the April 14, 2016 school board meeting. If the school board of either district rejects the plan, the proceedings are terminated and dismissed. ADJOURNMENT Schwartz moved, Deters seconded, adjournment. Carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m. Submitted by: Julie McGraw, Clerk. A full version of the minutes are available at www.mahtomedi.k12.mn.us. Published one time in the White Bear Press on April 26, 2016.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Finance director recognized The city of White Bear Lake’s finance director was recognized by the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) for his excellent service both on the board and as board president. Don Rambow served as a city representative on the PERA board since 2005 and as president since 2012. He was presented a plaque by incoming President Kathryn Green at the April 14 Board of Trustees meeting.

White Bear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce members and dignitaries joined Northern Tool’s marketing team April 18 for an official ribbon cutting.
Northern Tool celebrates opening Northern Tool + Equipment held its official ribbon-cutting April 18 at White Bear Marketplace. The location is the company’s seventh in the Twin Cities. “As a locally based company, we’re proud to continue to grow our footprint in our home market,” said Wade Mattson, vice president of marketing. The store is located at 1900 Buerkle Road in White Bear Lake.
4,600-square-foot bank will open by the end of 2016. People’s Bank Midwest was recently named a finalist for the Minnesota Business Ethics Award in the small business category. Four other businesses were also named as fi nalists. The recipient of the award will be announced May 11. For more information, visit www.pbmbank.com and mnethicsaward.org.
Scoop on the scoop
The White Bear Lake Police Department will conduct a crime prevention meeting for business community members at 6 p.m. Monday, May 16 at the Public Safety Training Room. Use the Third Street entrance on north side of the building behind City Hall. The free session will cover updates from detectives in the Investigations Division, the massage parlor licensing ordinance and Business Crime Watch, and will include a-question-and-answer session. For more information, contact Sgt. John Vette at 651-4298511. RSVPs appreciated at JVette@whitebearlake. org. Pizza Man of White Bear Lake is providing free pizza.
There will be Purple Cows and Lime Rickys on the menu, along with 40 flavors of ice cream when Wildwood Scoop opens early June in Willernie. Co-owner Brian Pilrain said the city has approved the business license and a new awning and deep freezers have been ordered. The ice cream store will open in the former Roma Wine Bar location, 462 Stillwater Road. That space was vacated when Roma moved next door into the old Hanger Room, a building now owned by the Pilrains. Why ice cream? Pilrain said the family has a lot invested in the old Roma space but didn’t want to open another restaurant, something they tried with the Valhalla Nordic Alehouse. They grew up in Stillwater, he added, where Nelson’s is ice cream king. They thought they might try something similar. “We think ice cream will be a big hit in town,” Pilrain said. “It will be a good social spot after sporting and theater events and it’s a nice-sized dining room — Roma had seating for 80.” Eventually they hope to make some of their own ice cream and plan to add fresh Italian gelato to the menu.

Maiden voyage pushed back
Bank holds food drive
The Admiral’s maiden voyage has been postponed. The vessel owned by Admiral D’s Brian McGoldrick had engine trouble, so a new engine had to be ordered from California. The original plan was to start White Bear Lake excursions on Mother’s Day. McGoldrick expects the boat will be seaworthy by Memorial Day weekend. “You only get one chance to make a fi rst impression,” said the restaurant owner. “We want it to be a good one.”
Throughout the month of March, Lake Area Bank held a food drive in support of the Minnesota FoodShare campaign. The bank collected 890 pounds of food and about $120 at seven locations for distribution to local food shelves.

People’s Bank Midwest sent dirt flying into the air at its groundbreaking ceremony April 13.
Vadnais business among Xcel efficiency recipients NAC Mechanical & Electrical of Vadnais Heights recently received an Xcel Energy Efficiency Partner award for helping local businesses lower their energy costs and reduce their impact on the environment. It was one of 36 Minnesota businesses recognized at a ceremony April 13. The work by the 36 companies saved area customers enough energy to power 3,800 homes for a year. Xcel Energy offers incentives, such as rebates and funding for energy efficiency studies and upgrades, to its business and residential customers to encourage them to make energy-efficient choices. Through the help of this group of partners, Xcel Energy distributed more than $5 million in energy efficiency rebates for the various projects completed, which is about 15 percent of the total amount of rebates paid in Minnesota by Xcel Energy last year.

Real estate Trends So you have an offer on your home - what now?
A typical purchase agreement includes at least 20-40+ pages filled with inspection contingencies, finance addendum’s, arbitration agreement, well plus private Sewer disclosure(s), sellers disclosures, etc. etc.… It can be a bit overwhelming to say the least. Start with asking questions, lots of them. An experienced Realtor should know the answers and be able to identify any issues (and potential issues) you are faced with. We know how they will affect you throughout the process and through closing. Start with a prequalified buyer. Is your buyer working with a reputable lender? Paying cash, who verified the funds to close? Do they have to sell or close on a home before closing on yours? How solid is that transaction?
Build your dream here! Lakefront!
Did they put that in writing? Were there contingencies yet to be completed before they can perform on your transaction? If they are financing, what type? Different types of loan financing can affect your net proceeds from the sale. Also some of those finance terms will have a standard(s) of condition that your home or property must meet in order to qualify. How much are they putting down? How about earnest money? This deposit on your home should be a respectable amount, one in which shows your buyers commitment to purchase. Is there an inspection contingency? If you have read any of my previous articles, I have addressed the types of inspections that come into play. Examples are not limited to just the following: Truth in housing (if applicable), Home, radon, sewer, mechanical, structural, well, roof, and so on. Are you sure you have a clear title?

Russian pianist returns for encore Alexander Yakovlev, who presented a much-acclaimed solo piano recital in Mahtomedi in 2014, is returning for another concert at the White Bear Unitarian Universalist Church on Friday, May 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the door for $20 general admission. His concert the following day at the Russian Art Museum in Minneapolis is already sold out, so concertgoers are advised to come early for tickets. Doors open 45 minutes prior to the concert. This special concert is again sponsored by Dr. Reid Smith Piano Studios of Dellwood. Smith served on the jury of several international competitions where Yakovlev won first prize and arranged for his debut in Minnesota in 2014. Altogether, Yakovlev has won more than 50 international competitions including the Takamatsu Competition in Japan, the Parnassos Competition in Mexico, and the World Piano Competition in Cincinnati in 2014, which led to his first appearance in Minnesota. He has performed more than 500 concerts in some of the most prestigious concert halls around the world including Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Berlin Philharmonic Hall, Victoria Hall in Geneva, and Carnegie Hall in New York City. Quoting from the Russian Museum’s recent publicity: “Alexander Yakovlev gave us a performance few people will forget at his much-heralded, sold-out concert in 2014.” His concert will include major works by Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and Ravel, including the pianist’s own arrangement of “Night on Bald Mountain” by Mussorgsky. In announcing the concert, Smith said: “As before, this event promises to be stellar, and a rare opportunity to our community to hear a pianist of this caliber at a local venue.”

To arrange a lesson time, contact Smith at 651-407-6965 or at DrReidSmith@aol.com. Finally, Smith wants the community to know about an international piano festival, “Beyond the Piano,” in Benasque, Spain, June 13-23. Yakovlev is the artistic director of the festival and Smith is the only faculty member from the United
States. Students of all ages and abilities are encouraged to consider this opportunity. Contact Smith for more information. Besides private lessons, master classes and performance opportunities, piano students may perform a movement of a piano concerto with the chamber orchestra. “The setting for this festival in the heart of the Pyrenees Mountains is spectacular,” Smith said.

Water Gremlin files suit against former employees BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
ST. PAUL — Possible reasons for the abrupt departure of two Water Gremlin executives last October have been revealed in a complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court. The White Bear Township company has filed suit against its former employees, alleging theft of intellectual property, misappropriation of corporate funds, breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment. The defendants, Robert Neal, former president, and Michael Garin, former head of R&D, were informed last month that they are being sued. Also named as co-defendant in the complaint is MarcTech Innovative Design Inc., a Chicago company started by Neal and Garin in 2009. According to records of the Illinois Secretary of State, the two men are sole shareholders and officers. Background information in the complaint alleges that Neal, who maintained a residence at 1 Pine Road in North Oaks during his employment, accepted the position as president when a Japanese company, Okabe Co. Ltd., purchased Water Gremlin in 2005. He was a board member for both Water Gremlin and Okabe Holding USA, served as chairman, president and board member of a Chinese affiliate, Changzing Water Gremlin Non-Ferrous Co., and was president of an affiliate in Italy. As president, Neal had full responsibility, authority and control over all aspects of Water Gremlin’s business. He was removed from all positions Oct. 20, 2015. His current address is listed as Palatine, Illinois. Garin is a Mahtomedi resident who started working for Water Gremlin in the 1960s. At the time of his termination Oct. 20, 2015, Garin was vice president of R&D and a member of the board of directors. The complaint states he supervised, managed and controlled all research, development and engineering activities, including supervising all employees who were involved in the invention, creation, testing and use of Water Gremlin’s intellectual property, including its patented technology and unpatented trade secrets. Water Gremlin was founded in 1949 in White Bear Township as a supplier of recreational fishing products, specifically lead sinkers. In the ’70s, the company began production of terminals for lead-acid batteries. It has 218 employees. According to the complaint, Water Gremlin invested millions of dollars from February 2004 to April 2012 in researching and developing a process in battery manufacturing known as “grid casting.” It was noted the process would offer significant savings to customers. The defendants were directly responsible for managing and controlling all aspects of the research project, including retaining the services of a man named Juan Fernando Aparicio, a resident of Columbia, to conduct testing in that country. Aparicio repeatedly traveled to the township facility on a training visa to receive training in Water Gremlin’s patented and trade secret intellectual property. He was paid a monthly salary of $5,600 plus expenses at the instruction of Neal and/or Garin. After spending years and millions of dollars on the grid casting project, Neal and Garin reportedly terminated research in April 2012, along with employees involved in the project, allegedly without advising the board of directors or owner Okabe. Also alleged in the complaint was establishment of MarcTech without any disclosure or notice to shareholders or the board of directors. The complaint alleges the men started the company to obtain and exploit for themselves and without discovery, the patent rights to battery manufacturing technology. Their customers, it alleged, would be the same battery manufacturers who were and are Water Gremlin’s existing and potential customers and the business model was identical to one intended for the defunct grid casting research project. The complaint also alleges that an Illinois corporation was established July 10, 2009 called JW Advanced Solutions Corp. and that state records identify the president as Alana Stuart and business address as a Buffalo Grove, Illinois, condominium owned by defendant Neal and his wife Christine Neal. Stuart is Christine Neal’s niece. Upon further investigation, the complaint alleges it was found JW Advanced Solutions was owned equally by Neal and Garin. The company was involuntarily dissolved Dec. 14, 2014. Before that time, however, it was stated that the defendants caused Water Gremlin to purchase coating solutions for the grid casting project from JW Advanced Solutions and in ensuing years, paid more than $43,000 to their own company. Their ownership allegedly was never disclosed to the board of directors or the shareholder. When the grid casting project ended in 2012, the coating solutions purchased from JW Advanced Solutions and other vendors allegedly disappeared from Water Gremlin. Other allegations found in the complaint involving

Water Gremlin Company, founded in 1949, was acquired in 2005 by Okabe Co., Ltd., of Tokyo, Japan. With its support, the company has grown to include plants in Europe and China.
the two former executives include: • Aparicio continued to be paid after the grid casting project ended, despite queries from the accounting department, under the guise that the Colombian was being moved to sales. There is no record of Aparicio having generated a lead, issuing a quote or making any sale on behalf of Water Gremlin. It is surmised that Aparicio continued to conduct research on behalf of the defendants.
According to the complaint, Water Gremlin invested millions of dollars from February 2004 to April 2012 in researching and developing a process in battery manufacturing known as “grid casting.” • Trips at company expense to Colombia in July 2015 by Garin even though he had no legitimate reason to go there on behalf of Water Gremlin; and a trip to Johannesburg, South Africa in April 2015, again despite having no legitimate purpose. Neal authorized the payments for Garin’s airfare and travel expenses. Subsequent events, the complaint noted, make it clear his trip to South Africa was for the benefit of MarcTech. • Neal charged more than $27,000 in travel expenses for trips to Hawaii in December 2013, 2014 and July 2015. He reported the expenses as being related to “lead negotiations with Gopher” saying he traveled to Hawaii with Gopher people and paid for their accommodations. The company is a major supplier of lead to Water Gremlin and stated that no representative had ever traveled to Hawaii with Neal. It was alleged that the expenses were for personal and family vacations, including a 50th birthday party for his wife. • Neal charged $1,800 for a dinner at Morton’s in Chicago that he called a business dinner with his wife, a patent attorney, his son and his wife and an Okabe employee and her husband. The employee said she never attended any such dinner. • In November 2014, Neal was paid $2,500 for expenses while staying at the Marbella Club in Spain, a false representation. • In 2014, Neal was paid $2,800 for a shipment of steaks from Allen Brothers in Chicago. He said the steaks were for Christmas presents to customers. At least one shipment was sent to a friend in Hawaii and another sent to himself. • In January 2015, Neal was reimbursed $7,500 for airfare for his wife to travel to Europe. Neal said her travel was necessary to Water Gremlin’s business so she could attend a dinner with senior staff of the affiliate in Italy, to which spouses had been invited. In fact, Chris Neal did not attend any dinner with anyone from Water Gremlin Aquila and spouses were
never invited, according to the company. • In March 2015, Neal’s wife accompanied him on a trip to South Africa, for which he was reimbursed $17,500 in airfare by Water Gremlin. In explaining the business basis for the company to pay that amount to fly his wife, Neal explained that the president of PowerTech, with which MarcTech was doing business, had invited Neal to bring his wife on safari. The complaint alleges there was no legitimate reason or benefit to Water Gremlin from its payment of Chris Neal’s airfare and the complaint says he falsely represented the cost as a business expense. • Between October 2013 and September 2015, Neal charged, and paid from Water Gremlin funds, over $25,000 in travel expenses for his wife, none of which were for legitimate business purposes. Water Gremlin is currently investigating more than $55,000 in additional payments made to Neal for the benefit of his wife. The complaint states that the above allegations are examples of Neal’s repeated theft of Water Gremlin’s money to use for his own personal purposes. The company has allegedly uncovered dozens of false expense reimbursements claimed by and paid to Neal. The amount is expected to exceed $160,000. • Another count in the complaint claimed a breach of fiduciary duties. As employees, officers and directors, the complaint indicated, Neal and Garin owed fiduciary duties to Water Gremlin, including duties of acting in good faith, fair dealing, honesty, fidelity and loyalty to Water Gremlin. The complaint further alleges that the full extent of the funds taken and property converted by the defendants and others acting in concert with them is unknown. The company contends the wrongful conversion of funds and property has damaged Water Gremlin in excess of $50,000, the precise amount to be proven at trial. Water Gremlin is asking for an award of damages in excess of $50,000 against the defendants, for money paid to JW Advanced Solutions, for money improperly taken, for an award of damages in the amount of all profits made by MarcTech and all compensation to its two shareholders and for an order declaring Water Gremlin the rightful owners of several U.S. patents. The company is being represented by the Minneapolis firm Messerli & Kramer P.A. No mention was made in an Oct. 30, 2015 news release to the Press last year issued by Okabe Co. Ltd. of why Neal and Garin departed. Headlined “Changes at Water Gremlin,” the company release read that “concurrent with visible changes to its campus, comes a leadership transition marking a renewed customer focus and a journey to world class performance. Mr. Kazumasa Otani assumes the helm of the Water Gremlin companies after the departure of Mr. Robert Neal.” A Water Gremlin spokesman declined comment due to the ongoing litigation. A phone number for Garin was not in service.
