District’s schools running out of space BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A 90-person facilities planning committee that spent nearly 40 hours working to solve the district's growing enrollment pickle settled on options they feel are best for students and best for taxpayers. The fruit of their labors was presented to the school board at its April 22 workstudy meeting. This wasn't the first time members heard the committee's recommendations. A summary was reported earlier in an April 17 Press story, but more detail is being provided here from last week's public meeting. A copy of the committee report is also available online at the district's website: www.whitebear. k12.mn.us. At the end of the day, this is what the committee recommends: • Expand and remodel North Campus for one high school, grades 9-12, for 3,200 students. The site will be expanded and the bus facility next door will be relocated. • Turn South Campus into a middle school for 1,350 students. • Expand Central Middle School into space currently occupied by district offices, for 1,350 students. • Renovate Sunrise Park for the district office center, early childhood center, transitions education center and senior center. • Build a new elementary school for 720 students in the north part of the district. Land in Hugo has been acquired for this purpose. • Expand Oneka Elementary and Otter Lake Elementary to accommodate 720 students each. • Create a K-5 grade configuration across all elementary buildings. • Create two early childhood centers at Hugo Elementary and Sunrise Park. • Remodel media centers in all buildings. • Purchase new furniture for all classrooms districtwide. The total cost for the phase one project is estimated at $326 million.

So far, air monitoring around plant shows ‘good pattern’ BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Air monitoring conducted around Water Gremlin since March 1 shows a reduction in dichloroethylene (DCE) concentrations, according to a recent report by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The township plant, which makes lead battery terminals for the global market, restarted production March 1 after agreeing to discontinue using a toxic solvent called TCE. Instead, it is using an alternative product called FluoSolv WS, which contains DCE, described as a “less toxic coating chemical,” in the report. Water Gremlin removed TCE from its premises as part of a settlement agreement with the MPCA that included a $7 million penalty. “These DCE results do not cause us concern. In fact, we’re seeing a nice reduction,” said Jeff Smith, director of MPCA’s industrial division. “That’s a good sign. Emissions are reducing over time; a good pattern. There are no health concerns.” Smith talked about the air monitoring report during an April 22 meeting at City Hall called by the Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group (See

YOU SHOULD KNOW: Water Gremlin has launched a new website, WGupdates.com, to better connect with its neighbors. Community members can find information about the business and its operations on the site and sign up for updates on topics such as the supplemental environmental projects, the new pollution control system and emissions monitoring. accompanying story). He assured residents that Water Gremlin has no control over the data, and if there was tampering, MPCA would know about it. An emissions compliance graph that’s part of the report shows that cumulative emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC), in addition to DCE, is trending downward. The company is prohibited from emitting more than 90 tons of total VOCs over a 12-month period. Smith pointed out that DCE levels detected by the monitors do not come exclusively from Water Gremlin. “DCE is one of many VOCs,” he explained. “These are ambient air monitors that pull from the community. They are picking up Water Gremlin emissions, but also picking up other emissions. We need to know if things are worrisome that are not coming from their plant. There are other industrial contributors around Water Gremlin that may not be permit-

ted. We want to work with these companies through MnTAP to reduce the chemical footprint around White Bear Lake, White Bear Township and Gem Lake.” The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has set a level of 70 micrograms per cubic meter of DCE as an amount that poses little to no health risk if breathed over a lifetime. MDH developed the guidance value at the request of MPCA to drive site actions at the plant until pollution control equipment is installed later this spring. The value was developed for this specific situation and is not intended for application to other sites or circumstances without further review. Jim Kelly, manager of the MDH environmental health division, told residents attending the NCCG meeting the agency is working on an information sheet for DCE. “I want to iterate what Jeff said: DCE is an improvement over TCE from a human health standpoint, but that

doesn’t mean it’s nontoxic.” The report notes that DCE accounts for most of the total VOCs at the facility; other minor sources of VOC emissions include rework tables, emergency generators and makeup air units. An interactive graph of the

DCE sampling results through April 18 is available at https:// www.pca.state.mn.us/air/water-gremlin-air-monitoring. Users can hover over a bar to view the site location and hourly wind speeds and directions. A list of VOCs is also provided.

New nonprofit maintains watchdog role BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The recently formed nonprofit Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group continues to watchdog both Water Gremlin and state legislation regulating a toxic chemical no longer used at the plant on Otter Lake Road. Founded by five women who live near Water Gremlin, the citizens group — or NCCG — holds bi-weekly meetings at City Hall to discuss the pollution issue, pending legislation and state agency updates. Spokesperson Sherry Hastings, a commercial Realtor who grew up in White Bear Lake, said the group has four areas of focus: • Banning trichloroethylene (TCE) statewide. • Keeping Water Gremlin accountable by tracking its stipulation agreement with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to make sure it is followed. • Understand the toxicity of FluoSolv WS, the chemical replacing TCE at Water Gremlin. • Keeping Water Gremlin from expanding until NCCG is assured the company is not polluting. Hastings and members of the board, Sheri Smith, Leigh Thiel, Kelly Tapkan and Catherine Sullivan, have met with Attorney General Keith Ellison to make sure the state’s top attorney is aware of the situation and to learn if the toxic emissions are a criminal offense. They have also met with a member of the governor’s environmental staff to ask for support of legislation. All live within the 1.5-mile radius of Water Gremlin impacted, according to MPCA, by toxic emissions of TCE. On April 22, representatives from MPCA and MDH attended a NCCG meeting to provide an update on

Times are 6-8 p.m. May 1 and May 7 at Birch Lake Elementary School, 1616 Birch Lake Ave., White Bear Lake; and 11 a.m.-2 p.m. May 9 at Gem Lake City Offices, 4200 Otter Lake Road. air monitoring results (see accompanying story) and answer questions. “Overall sentiment from attendees is there is no trust in how Water Gremlin does business,” Thiel said. “No one understands why they have done things so wrong for so long. Residents continue to be highly concerned about health impacts of the TCE overexposure.” MPCA representative Jeff Smith, director of the agency’s industrial division, told the group he and the commissioner are working closely with the governor’s office. “They are interested in knowing we are serving you,” he said. Added Smith, “This should not have happened (the TCE emissions). It could have and should have been prevented.” MPCA has made five or six “hardcore, unannounced inspections” of Water Gremlin in the last few months, according to Smith. “It’s important for the company to understand how serious the community feels about ongoing compliance and how scared and angry you are,” he stated. “I personally feel that way myself. We take this very personally.” Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) representa-

We also take these situations seriously and want to see this rectified.” For more information on the NCCG and how to get involved, visit its newly launched website: wbanccg.org

Busy beavers

he beaver lodge on Stocking Lake where my grandparents had a home in Park Rapids was huge. The lodge was the size of a small dump truck partially submerged in the water. As a kid, my grandparents let me take out the 12-foot aluminum boat to go fishing – early on it was a rowboat with oars, and then outfitted with a 6 horsepower Evinrude. Grandpa often fished near the dam because it was a hot spot for crappies. The lodge was a woven pile of sticks. Looking into the crystal clear water you could see how the structure was built branch by branch. Sometimes while fishing the beaver would pop up behind the boat and slap his tail on the water. It would scare the wits out of me. My grandparents Publisher’s told me that it was a signal to other beavers that danger was near. View Did you know a beaver can weigh an average of 40-50 pounds and Carter Johnson live up to 12 years? They are North America’s largest rodent and can consume hundreds of trees and shrubs in the season to build their lodge and dams. They have lips behind their front teeth so they can swim and carry sticks without swallowing water. Beavers used to play an important role in damming water in lakes and rivers. Years ago, beavers in this region were prized for their pelts and therefore trapped. Today, with population growth and lakeshore property values increasing, beavers are not typically a welcome sight. A few residents on Bald Eagle Lake have invested in wire mesh to wrap the base of the trees to prevent losing them to beavers. Residents report seeing more than six different beavers around the lake. According to the Minnesota DNR site, a beaver can chew through a 6-inch tree in 15 minutes.

Doggie Doo Our dog-loving readers know that dogs get pretty excited to see you when you get home. Then they look at you with puppy-dog eyes and expect you to take them for a walk. This is something dog owners have over cat owners – the walk. I have yet to see anyone walking a cat. As we walk our Westie along our favorite local trail, many others on the trail are also walking a dog or dogs. It’s fun to see the different breeds and their mannerisms. We try not to leave home without a couple of doggie bags, as our dog usually does her business within the first five minutes, and then sometimes once more. For the most part, dog owners do a good job of cleaning up after their pets, though we have had a few puzzling situations in the last couple of neighborhoods we lived in. In one community we would sometimes find a filled dog bag in our newly emptied trash can at the end of the driveway or at the base of our mailbox. There is nothing worse than a dog bag in a hot trash can stinking up your garage. We always wondered if it was a neighbor who didn’t like us, or a disgruntled reader. In our current house, our lot is adjacent to a public walking path. This spring, my son and I picked up at least 40 pounds of trash on the neighboring city-owned property, including dozens of filled green doggie bags – the ones the city provides along the path - that people had tossed into the brush. What is so nice is the city not only provides the bags, but also garbage cans along the way. I don’t like carrying a bag of dog poop for a few blocks until I get to the next garbage can, but it’s part of the deal of walking your dog. Most doggy bags are not biodegradable and someone, whether it’s a neighbor or a city worker, has to pick it up by hand. If you are ever inclined to toss your dog bag into the woods or a ditch, please think again. It’s the same thing as tossing a fast food bag, only grosser. Everyone has to do their part to keep local parks, trails, walking paths and neighborhoods clear of garbage, which includes picking up after your dog.

Tips to help green your garden this season

S

pring in the garden is a time of endless possibilities. We have a blank slate to create a season-long masterpiece that will feed our souls and our stomachs, and possibly those of our friends and neighbors. This annually renewed excitement draws many of us outside to our veggie patch, perennial garden or patio containers each year. Food gardening is an activity proven to lower stress and aid in healthy food choices. There are even Movers & studies showing direct contact Shakers that with soil microbes Michelle Bruhn (Mycobacterium vaccae) stimulate serotonin which help us relax, so go ahead and get dirty. I have been an avid gardener of flowers and food for years. I consider it a healthy hobby. Yet, on closer inspection, some parts of gardening are not very healthy; the pesticides, plastics and pest controls traditionally used are anything but. Luckily, there are easy ways to get an ecofriendly jump on your planting. Here’s a few tips to help you green your garden this season: Start with sustainable seeds. Find locally grown seeds. Or order your seeds from reputable

seed companies with a proven track record, consider organic seeds for their impact on the entire gardening cycle. Shop local plant sales Plants grown locally are better adapted to our environment. Starting in early May there are local plant sales put on by our Master Gardeners, garden club, Century College Horticultural Department, Perennial garden clubs of Stillwater, etc. These groups don’t sell plants treated with neonicotinoid pesticides (which cause lasting damage to our pollinators) and you won’t fi nd any GMO varieties there. The money raised usually goes towards local garden projects, garden scholarships or community garden efforts. Plant for pollinators When you plant for pollinators you will be rewarded with higher yields of veggies, not to mention all the added life in your garden. Start with pesticide free, native plants that deliver nectar throughout the season. Add from there as diversity is key when planting for pollinators. Our University of Minnesota Bee Lab is considered the top in the nation and has a wealth of info on specific plant options on their website, www.beelab.umn. Skip the plastic Why not skip the plastic pots and try making newspaper pots for seedlings instead. Use

cardboard boxes instead of plastic pots for larger plantings. Getting kids to craft the newspaper pots and decorate the cardboard is an easy way to get kids engaged in the garden. Natural pest control Grow companion plants that bring in beneficial insects, while deterring pests. Think Marigolds interplanted with tomatoes. You’re naturally creating a healthier growing environment while adding beauty to the garden. Using the book “Good Bug, Bad Bug” by Jessica Walliser to ID insects is a good place to start. Dig in Trying even one of these green garden practices will directly impact your food, land, and everything that interacts with it. Gardening teaches even the most fledgling beginner how interconnected we are with the natural world. Let’s embrace the fact that we are an integral part of this stunningly abundant natural world. I hope you dig your food more than ever this season. You can read more about green gardening ideas, local food, local farmers and direct links to many of the above resources at forksinthedirt.com. Michelle Bruhn is the Market Coodinator for the Farmers Market at Tamarack Nature Center.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Transportation a needed connection As Winter fi nally rolls up his last snows and sunny Spring gets us out of the house, we are reminded of all the ways to explore our city — walking, biking, and busing. This reminds us of how we want to thank our City Council for voting on Feb. 26 to keep White Bear Lake connected to the Rush Line bus line. The new location of the downtown station at Seventh and Washington will connect seniors and the art center and allow people to reach downtown without adding another car to the crowded streets. We are White Bear residents and members of the Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing (MICAH). In MICAH, we act from our faith to build a community where everyone, without exception, has a safe, decent, accessible and affordable home. Transportation is deeply connected to housing. More and more people rely on public transit to connect to jobs, medical and other services, and to shopping and entertainment. Our growing senior population will appreciate the quality frequent service that ties our community to our region. We have a caboose down-

town because the rail connection helped build White Bear Lake, and the Rush Line Bus Rapid Transit will help us grow as well. Sue Arcand White Bear Lake

Lake is up, now what? Now that the lake level is as high as I have seen it since I moved here in 1989, I am wondering what the next step is. Will we spend thousands of dollars to study the feasibility of digging an overflow trench, pipe the excess water to Lake Vadnais or maybe the homeowners can just sue the DNR for their loss of property values due to high water levels? Or could it be that fluctuations in precipitation really do control the lake level? On a more serious note, I think that our water conservation efforts must continue and I also believe that the DNR water appropriation permitting group has been given a much needed wakeup call. Now let's get back to enjoying our lake and stop wasting money on stupid lawsuits and hair-brained augmentation studies. Donald Abrams White Bear Lake

Best weekly community paper

One-way boulevard not easy

I came back from Arizona in early spring and wanted to renew my subscription to the Vadnais Heights Press. I've always considered it one of the best, if not the best, weekly community paper anywhere. I walked down to the Press office in White Bear and found Carter Johnson, the publisher, clearing off some snow on the front sidewalk. I introduced myself, and before I knew it, Carter was giving me a tour of some of the new building construction and introducing me to various staff members. This is the sort of unplanned kindness that we all need to practice. I encourage you to support the Press and thank them for the incredible writing and joy they bring to our community each week. None of them do it for the money. They do their jobs because they want to continue to invest in their community. Joel D. Holtz Vadnais Heights

A one-way Bald Eagle Boulevard? It must be the right thing to do, because it's so easy. Well guess what, folks, it’s not. I have spoken with Ramsey County engineers and engineers for our own White Bear Township. This issue and other speed/ safety issues have come up many, many times in the past for the boulevard. They are in agreement now as they have been in the past that a one-way is just not a feasible solution with all of the other ramifications involved. How about championing a movement for the lakeside property owners to give up 10 feet of their front yards? This would allow the road to be widened, infrastructure storm sewers and concrete the surface once and for all. Two-way traffic with a designated bike path. Voila! Fix the problem at the source. Stop the nonsense by putting the traffic on somebody's else's street. Jim Dimmerman White Bear Township

Restorative justice and healing rescheduled A restorative justice and healing event will be held at St. Mary of the Lake Church from 7 to 9 p.m. May 6. In the wake of the clergy abuse scandal, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minne-

apolis has looked for ways to heal the harm. Janine Geske, a former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice and Marquette Law School professor, has led conversations on restorative justice at the Vatican and throughout the world. Justice Geske will be joined by Father Dan Griffith from Our Lady of Lourdes in Minneapolis. Father Griffith will introduce restorative justice in a biblical and theological context. Justice Geske will then share more about this work from her experience and introduce and conduct a healing circle. The church is located at 4741 Bald Eagle Ave., White Bear Lake.

Employees charged in liquor store cash disappearance BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A father and daughter were charged this month with stealing from their former employer, Summit Liquor, last fall. The co-owner and manager reported to police Nov. 30, 2018 that they suspected their employees Brittney Alexcia Russell, 30, of Roseville, and her father Windell Jerone Roby, 51, of St. Paul, had been stealing money and products from the store. Records from cash sales the day before Thanksgiving were half what had been expected and over the month, sales had dipped from normal by

about 40%, according to the co-owner and manager. Further investigation revealed a total of 117 voided cash transactions in November, totaling about $2,500. Roby and Russell can be seen on surveillance video ringing up items, Windell receiving cash, making change, Jerone Roby voiding sales and pocketing overage money at the end of their shifts, police said. Roby can also be seen removing bottles of liquor from the store. Roby and Russell were both charged with felony theft. They have declined to be interviewed.

According to the criminal complaint, Eide attempted to cash a $350 check Jan. 14 at a Stillwater bank. The teller was concerned because she knew the account holder had recently passed away. She obtained an identification card from the woman and instead of cashing the check, contacted the account holder's son, who confirmed the check had not been issued by his deceased father. The teller told Eide she could not cash the check. The son told a Stillwater police officer he believed his father's checkbook had been stolen out of his unsecured work truck just before or soon after his death. Eide was mailed a summons to appear in court.

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:

Dellwood • A resident in the 20 block of Dellwood Avenue on April 20 reported the loss of her husband's wallet. The wallet contained his driver's license but no bank cards. Although there was no monetary loss, the caller wanted the incident reported in case future identity theft occurs.

Grant • A motorist northbound on Jamaca Avenue N. at Dellwood Road N. at 8:07 p.m. April 17 reported hearing a clinking noise on his passenger door that led him to believe something had hit his vehicle. When Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies questioned two youths whose property backs up to Jamaca Avenue to see if they saw or heard anything, one of the youths revealed that he was shooting a pellet gun earlier toward a woodpile in their backyard. • A resident in the 6000 block of Jasmine Court N. on April 18 reported hay stolen from his property. An investigation is under way. • A Stillwater resident on April 19 reported a boat motor stolen sometime within the last 18 months from a property in the 11000 block of 60th Street N. • A Bloomington man, 30, was cited April 21 on westbound Highway 36 and

Demontreville Trail N. for driving on an expired license after westbound deputies conducted a random computer check. The driver, who was described as cooperative, admitted that he had forgotten to renew his license.

Mahtomedi • A resident in the 600 block of Gosiwin Avenue on April 17 reported that his wife had been scammed out of $670 for Garth Brooks tickets by an unknown party. • A resident in the 300 block of 71st Street N. on April 18 reported that more than $2,000 had been removed from her debit card at the Eden Prairie Best Buy. The complainant said she had no idea how the thieves acquired her bank card information. • A resident in the 100 block of Forest Avenue on April 19 reported receiving a suspicious email from an organization on behalf of a fellow member of a watershed group to which he belongs. The fellow member did not send the email that asked for a remittance of $3,450 to an unknown vendor. Neither the complainant, his fellow watershed group member, or the group suffered any loss. Deputies discussed internet safety practices with the complainant. • A resident in the 1000 block of Warner Avenue N. reported finding a wallet in his yard April 20 while doing yardwork. The provisional driver's license found in the wallet led deputies to its owner, who said he had lost the wallet a long time ago.

• An undisclosed amount of beer is missing after a resident in the 1000 block of Warner Avenue N. reported his detached garage broken into overnight April 20-21 and a stash of beer missing. The complainant suspects his neighbor of the third-degree burglary, as he reportedly has a track record with the complainant after having committed similar beer thefts from the complainant's garage. Deputies tried to contact the neighbor without success. • Residents in the 600 block of Woodland Drive reported that unknown persons entered their home through the front door overnight April 20-21 and stole numerous items. The complainant could not think of anyone who could have committed the first-degree burglary. • Two separate homeowners in the 100 block of Wedgewood Drive on April 21 reported hit-and-run damage to a street lamp and a set of mailbox posts in the neighborhood which occurred at around 12:37 a.m. The street lamp buckled after being struck, and shattered glass lay scattered over the curb. One mailbox post had been struck and was no longer secure. A black passenger side mirror and small miscellaneous pieces of gray plastic indicated the damage was the work of a now-damaged vehicle. • A Mahtomedi man, 59, was arrested April 21 in the 1000 block of Warner Avenue N. on two Washington County Sheriff's Office warrants. The subject, with whom deputies are familiar, is also suspected of breaking into his neighbor's home overnight April 20-21 and stealing beer.

Willernie • A bicyclist riding on northbound Warner Avenue at Stillwater Road at 12:04 p.m. April 15 reported a vehicle with Wisconsin license plates for passing him too closely. When the complainant confronted the vehicle driver a few blocks away near the post office, the driver became aggressive, saying the cyclist didn't belong on the road. The driver then raised his fist and drove toward the complainant with his vehicle. When the cyclist spotted the vehicle again in the 300 block of Kimberly Road and confronted the driver, the driver and occupants of the residence began yelling at him. The vehicle and the occupants of the residence were all gone when deputies arrived on the scene. • A St. Paul woman, 59, reported parking her vehicle in front of a residence in the 100 block of Penway Road for two hours during the evening of April 19, during which a large amount of black grease and scratches were left on the passenger side of her vehicle and a note on her windshield. The note said, “This is not a parking lot!” Deputies tried to contact the occupants of the two houses opposite the complainant's short-term parking space, but without success.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS Due to absence of the public information officer at the Ramsey County Sheriff's office, there are no incident reports this week.

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS www.presspubs.com

Setting chicken story straight VADNAIS HEIGHTS — An incident on Stockdale Drive regarding chickens and a small dog did not happen exactly according to the April 17 incident report. The Press wishes to provide an accurate account from the chicken owner and begs pardon for the tone of the incident report. A small dog named Bear was going potty when two large dogs, believed to be malamutes, jumped a chain link fence and bit him. But fi rst they killed his owner's four chickens, which were in a 4-foot fenced enclosure. “It was lightning fast,” said Bear's devastated owner. The dog was not guarding the chickens as was described in the case report. Bear was taken to the vet but died five days later. The two large dogs allegedly escaped from

Power knocked out

their home shortly before the incident. Deputies were called. They found the suspects chained to a fence upon arrival. A family member out searching for the wayward dogs was allowed to take them home. Their owner paid Bear's vet bill and replaced the dead chickens. The matter is not totally resolved, according to the chickens' owner, because Bear died. She noted that the dogs were not “pals,” as suggested in the April 10 Ramsey County Sheriff report, and said they had never met. Furthermore, chickens don't bite, and they didn't bite the dog. “My chickens were pets; they had names,” said the owner, who wished to remain unnamed. “We lost our dog. It was nothing to joke about.” Debra Neutkens

There was a power outage in the area due to an accident involving a power pole near County Road F and White Bear Avenue the evening of April 25.

WHITE BEAR CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council took the following action at its April 23 meeting: • Awarded 2019 seal coating contract to Allied Blacktop for $99,000, well within the $190,000 budgeted. • Awarded $35,400 contract to MP Asphalt Maintenance LLC for the 2019 crack sealing program, well within the $150,000 budgeted. • Extended deadline for cable commission franchise agreement to Feb. 28, 2020. The cable commission has been negotiating terms for franchise renewal with Comcast. • Denied a massage establishment business license for Craig Zorn, who wanted to open Meridian Care Massage at 2033 County Road E East. Background checks reportedly found his application to be deceptive. • Heard an annual report on the city's storm water pollution prevention program (SWPPP). The SWPPP describes how the city protects and improves water quality through implementation of practices such as rain gardens, adopt a drain and illicit discharge detection and elimination. Stormwater is a major cause of pollution in lakes and waterways. Environmental specialist Connie Taillon encouraged residents to call 911 if there is an illicit discharge like a fuel spill. Grass clippings and pet waste are also considered illicit discharges. Taillon said an alum treatment is proposed in 2020 to improve water quality

of Goose Lake, considered impaired. Back in the ’60s, an old wastewater treatment plant discharged into Goose Lake and is the likely source of high phosphorus levels in lake sediments. The alum treatment would cost the city about $35,000. A 2019 project is also planned for Birch Lake to capture phosphorus from stormwater runoff before it enters the lake. An iron sand filter at the end of a storm sewer would cost the city $26,000. No one spoke during the annual public hearing on the pollution prevention program. • Heard a memorial proclamation by Mayor Jo Emerson recognizing May 12-18 as National Police Week in White Bear Lake. A Ramsey County ceremony will be held May 16. • Heard an update on the Bruce Vento Trail from City Manager Ellen Hiniker. The county is working hard on a trail north of Hwy. 96 to Eighth Street, she said. Community feedback shows a preference for a trail along Hwy. 61, but areas in front of North Star Bank and Main Street Crossing are particularly problematic due to the parking lots located next to the railroad tracks. Hiniker asked council if a trail option that diverts to the Lake Avenue trail at 96 should be pursued. Members felt adding a regional trail would make the lakefront trail too congested. Long-term maintenance would also be impossible on the east side of 61, according to public works. The county maintains the Bruce Vento year-round.

The White Bear Lake Police Department was awarded Guardian of the Flame April 23 for its contributions to Special Olympics. Maplewood Police Commander Mike Shortreed, left, is deputy director of events for the Torch Run, the largest grassroots fundraiser for Special Olympics in the world. Along with Kean Corkery of the Special Olympics, Shortreed presented the award to White Bear Police Chief Julie Swanson, far right, and Officer Kacie Allen. Swanson credited Allen for coordinating the White Bear Polar Plunge and the June 3.5-mile torch run, both Special Olympics events. The chief said the award will be proudly displayed in the lobby of the Public Safety Building.

“There are significant challenges, but this will be a tremendous trail no matter where it's placed,” Hiniker said. She added there is still interest in a trail along Bald Eagle Avenue on the west side of 61. • Heard from the city manager that a salary adjustment for council and mayor will be discussed at an upcoming meeting. The council hasn't had a raise since 2016. “This is more like a stipend. You're practically volunteers,” Hiniker told them.

• Heard from Hiniker that the city will partner with Northeast Youth & Family Services to hire a mental health social worker to work with the police department. The city budgeted $15,000 that will be pooled with four other Ramsey County cities to pay the salary of a case worker. A case worker can handle about 25 cases at a time, so each city will be allotted five at one time. Mayor Jo Emerson called the hire “a great idea.” Debra Neutkens

2019 J. Stanley and Doris Hill Legacy Award recipient named Don Craighead has been selected as the 2019 J. Stanley and Doris Hill Legacy Award recipient. Established by the Century College Foundation, the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation and the White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation, the award honors the memory of Stan and Doris Hill for their remarkable commitment to community service. Craighead was recognized for his extensive volunteer service to the White Bear Lake area and beyond its borders. Craighead, 85, grew up in St. Paul and graduated from Monroe High School. He received his Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota in 1957. He and wife, Sandy, have been married for 52 years and live in North Oaks. They have four children, Janine, Jim (deceased), Dan and Wendy. Craighead founded his business, Power/mation, in 1960. The company distributed electric motors, machine clutches and brakes to the industrial market. It later expanded to sensor switches,

motion technology and industrial PCs. When he sold the company in 1990, it had annual revenues of $30 million. After the sale of his company, he shifted to his “give-back mode.” Craighead served on the Century College Foundation Board in many capacities for 16 years, including fundraising, business liaison, champion of innovation and advisory committee member. He became an emeritus board member in 2011. He was a founding member of the Hennepin Technical College Foundation in 1998, served as board president and is now an emeritus board member. Craighead was an instructor at Anoka Hennepin Technical College, adjunct faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and taught automation hardware to engineers at 3M for five years. Because of his special interest in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM), Craighead has participated in many organizations that promote involvement in these areas. This includes participation on the boards of

Robotics Alley, Positive Coaching Alliance, AirSpace MN, Grass Roots Innovation Team, National Youth Leadership Council, Minnesota Institute for Talented Youth, Junior Achievement, American Institute of Motion Engineering, Hugh O’Brien Youth Foundation, Jobs in Transition, and as an advisor for engineering education at the University of Minnesota. He also served as an industry liaison to the University of St. Thomas connecting business and industry professionals to the university outreach activities. Craighead has been active in both White Bear Lake Rotary and Roseville Rotary. He was honored as the St. Paul Winter Carnival Prince of the West Wind in 1989. When interviewed, Craighead stressed the importance of networking and connecting businesses and people to causes, organizations and civic engagement. He has a talent for connecting nonprofits and business leaders and letting anyone he meets know how they, personally, can make a difference.

Last week all I heard from friend James, who offices next to me, was how bad this past weekend was going to be. He’d come rushing in with cell phone, showing me his favorite weather app indicating rain all day Saturday. As the week went on the rain changed to snow. He was in full panic mode. Southern Minnesota was forecasted to have as much as 8” of snow. We all know how it turned out. It was a fairly decent weekend. Not a raindrop or snowflake fell. Rochester did pick up 2.1” of snow which enabled them to set a new season record of 86.8”. Nature Note: the neighborhood pond snapping turtle was laying eggs in the garden. New friend, Jeanie, remarked how clear White Bear Lake is as we spotted a turtle swimming.

Loon chronicles IV: Noisy squatters While the Geese, Wood ducks, Mallards, and most of the wildlife on and around White Bear Lake are busy establishing their nesting sites, the Loon parents are taking their sweet time. In fact, they appear to be much more interested in fishing, socializing, and preening together. Earlier in the week, we spotted a pair of Mallards with their eye on Len’s Loon nest. This morning, we were welcomed by a pair of Canada Geese lounging on the nest. They honked at us as we slowly passed by the nest. After a long and annoying cacophony of hisses and honks, the pair took flight and headed toward the Island. The War Zone is definitely Canada Goose Central. We cleaned off what looked like a few days of goose production, hoping to make it more presentable for the lollygagging Loon parents. We counted two pairs of Loons and five solo Loons this week. Unfortunately, the Eagles are back and are taking their own head count as they sit high up in the tree tops waiting to make their move. Let’s hope the Loon parents get serious about locking down a nest location and go for Len’s custom built model.

TEACHER OF THE YEAR: Product of White Bear schools FROM PAGE 1A

During the Teacher of the Year Extravaganza, Kath was introduced by her coworkers Traci Indlecoffer and Brooke Reeves. Kath holds herself and students to a high standard, diffuses conflict with humor and takes initiative, Indlecoffer said. Kath is an advocate for students and families, passionate about technology and data and spurs her colleagues on to be the best for students, Reeves said. “To her students and to us, she is always teacher of the year,” they said. Kath said she was humbled to be chosen from such great teachers among the finalists. “Everyone brings a different strength,” she noted. Other finalists present at the event were Robert Anderson - South Campus High School/Area Learning Center, English language; Alex Carlson - South Campus High School, social studies/AVID; Katelin Held - North Campus High School, language arts; Megan Perry - Sunrise Park Middle School, language arts; Leah Sitka Lincoln Elementary, fifth grade; and Julie Stonehouse - Oneka Elementary, media/ enrichment. About 130 nominations were offered for 2019, said WBLTA President Michael McKenzie. Nominations can come from co-workers, parents or students. Nominations were evaluated by judges based on a survey; there was a tie, so there were

seven finalists instead of six this year. Finalists were interviewed by a panel of judges. The winner was selected by a committee. Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak said he read the finalists’ philosophies of learning during the selection process and found them all to be “powerful statements.” He said he hopes all his children get to have all the finalists as their own teachers. Kath’s philosophy is that children who come into her kindergarten classroom become part of a family and that the experience will go with them for the rest of their schooling. The teacher of the year program is supported by WBLTA. The winner receives a $1,000 monetary gift from the White Bear Lake Lions Club intended to be used to further the teacher’s expertise. “We are happy to be part of a program to honor great teachers,” said Paul Williams, club president. “There are no ties on how to spend it, but we hope it will be used to continue your education and preparation for further expertise with students.” Kath will also be considered as a candidate in the Minnesota Teacher of the Year contest, which began in the state in the ’50s. Oneka Elementary fifth-grade teacher Maggie Clark was the 2018 Teacher of the Year. She said having the opportunity to be Teacher of the Year reconnected her with her teaching values and reminded her why she became a teacher.

SCHOOLS: Swelling enrollment stimulates strategic planning FROM PAGE 1A

added to that cost, for a total of $180 million. Plans to purchase 21 homes raise a serious red fl ag, noted school board Chair Don Mullin. “I don't like to use the word eminent domain; I don't think it's the right way to go about it. That is the scary part to me; having enough space at North.” Kraus Anderson representative John Huenink, vice president and director of education, said the project can proceed without the 21 homes. Private property will need to be acquired at some point, however, for practice fields and green space. Increasing middle school capacity would cost $29.4 million. That figure includes media center remodels and furniture purchases at both the middle and high schools. A new elementary school in Hugo could cost $91 million; a new bus garage could cost $8.2 million. Sunrise Park renovations could cost an estimated $17.4 million. “The key message here is about meeting enrollment demands of our school district,” noted Tim Wald, assistant superintendent for fi nance and operations. “We can't do it with the schools we have. There is not enough space.”

3 phases over 20 years District facility changes would occur in phases. Phase one, as proposed above, would take up to five years. Phase two would happen over the next decade. A preliminary allocation of $50 million was dedicated for kitchen improvements and other unnamed projects during this phase. Phase three would involve a future referendum 10 to 20 years out in the amount of $170 million. This phase includes moving the athletic stadium to North for $12 million and building a new middle school for $100 million. Central Middle School would be demolished. Flex spaces and other site improvements would be created at a cost of $43 million in elementary buildings.

Community outreach next step The next step is a community survey that will go out later this month. The district wants to know how people feel about the facilities plan. The survey will also measure “tax tolerance.” Although new numbers will be coming out, the tax impact at various referendum thresholds provided in the workshop packet look like this on a $300,000 home: • $250M - $12/month or $144/year • $300M - $15/month or $179/year • $350M - $25/month or $302/year

Enrollment could hit almost 11,000 students in 10 years if 75 percent of the agricultural land available in the district is developed. Current enrollment capacity is 8,700.

The committee spent a lot of time on high school history, gathering testimonials from baby boomers who experienced the two high school model. North opened in 1964 as White Bear's only high school. Large class sizes led to construction of a second high school, Mariner (now South Campus), in 1974. The district went to its current confi guration in 1983. Committee member Jerrod Leder shared remarks made by those who experienced two White Bear high schools. Words like “contentious” and “split community” were used. People couldn't eat at a restaurant on the other side of town, he said. “The community prides itself as being one Bear,” Leder added. Facility planners discussed wants vs. needs, Britt Fouks told the board. “Needs were our guide for every conversation. Options were discussed with a lens around how well it met the need and whether we were doing right by taxpayers.” Residents may wonder about the athletic stadium at South, Fouks said. It will remain there in the short term. “We had to prioritize,” Leder maintained. “Yes, it would be ideal to have athletic facilities next to

the high school. There are logistics around that. But there are logistics day to day with a split high school.” Leder said his oldest child may be in the class that would attend North for two years, South Campus for one year and North for senior year. “These are just some of the things we'll have to do. It will be like that for some students.” Fouks assured the board the planning committee thought long and hard about how to best serve students' programming needs and meet the needs of the entire community. “Especially if we have to go out for a vote,” she added. Survey results should be ready for school board review in late May. It will likely be July when the board votes whether to move forward with a referendum in November. If a referendum is successful, the new elementary school in Hugo would be built in about three years. North Campus construction will take three years following one year of design work. “Structurally, North is sound,” noted Wald. “It needs a new HVAC system, but this helps us keep this affordable. If we demolished North and built new, it would not be cost-effective. It would eliminate most of the other projects we need to do.”

Plaintiffs in lake level case to petition Supreme Court BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The lake level legal fight is not over. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit filed against the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) intend to petition the Minnesota Supreme Court to hear the case. It's the last step in a long, drawn-out process through the court system that started six years ago when the White Bear Lake Restoration Association (WBLRA) blamed historic low lake levels on the DNR, claiming the agency violated the Minnesota Environmental Rights Act (MERA) by mismanaging groundwater pumping permits. Last week, the Court of Appeals reversed a 2017 District Court ruling that sided with the WBLRA, stating Judge Margaret Marrinan erred in finding the DNR had violated the public trust doctrine. “In Minnesota, the common-law public trust doctrine applies to navigable waters and does not apply to groundwater withdrawals,” wrote presiding Judge John Rodenberg. The judge added that the appeals court corrects errors but does not change the law. “That power, if exercised by the judicial branch, is vested in the Minnesota Supreme Court,” Rodenberg said. The majority opinion stated the association did not have viable action under the MERA statute, section .03, but did have viable action under section .10, an administrative interpretation. Section 10 provides the proper remedy for challenging each permit individually. It is then up to the DNR to hear and decide each challenge. “The court found existing permits do not adequately protect White Bear Lake,” pointed out attorney Katie Crosby Lehmann, who represents the WBLRA. “Additional administrative procedures are required to assess what needs to be done to protect our natural resources.” One judge disagreed with the majority opinion, pointing out that attorneys for the WBLRA brought the case to force the DNR to follow existing environmental laws. “The opinion essentially gives a government agency immunity from following the state's environmental laws,” noted WBLRA Chairman Greg McNeely. “This is wrong. No one should be above the law.” The WBLRA and the White Bear Lake Homeowners Association, respondents in the appeal, weren't totally surprised by the opinion, McNeely said. “They only

The city of White Bear Lake recently updated this graph showing lake elevation and rainfall as levels have risen. Note the changes in outlet elevation (the purple line) in 1944 and 1983. The outlet was first lowered in 1944 when Cottage Park flooded. It was noted that raising the outlet would impact shoreline improvements made by property owners.

ruled on two of the nine arguments with the dissent clearly detailing why the majority opinion was wrong. We are hopeful the Supreme Court will review the decision. This is definitely not over.” DNR Deputy Commissioner Barb Naramore said the April 22 opinion is “consistent with the state's request” in the proceedings. Naramore issued a statement following the opinion, pointing out that back in October 2018, the DNR published an extensive sustainability analysis using a new, state-of-the-art groundwater model. “That model indicated that current groundwater use in the White Bear Lake area meets state sustainability standards,” Naramore maintained, “but also that

current use patterns can impact recreational uses of the lake under some conditions. “The DNR will use this analysis and other available information, in further reviewing the matter upon remand pursuant to the Appeals Court ruling.” White Bear Lake City Manager Ellen Hiniker said the city was “pleased with the opinion.” She added that the lake is about 925 feet, which is 6 inches above the outlet (see accompanying graph). Despite the rebound, Hiniker said, “We don't want to lose sight of the fact water conservation, regardless of the level of the lake, remains very important.” The city and township intervened early on in the case, siding with the DNR.

Health department releases assessment report ST. PAUL — The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) released its health assessment report April 24 for areas surrounding the Water Gremlin plant at 4400 Otter Lake Road. The 2019 report analyzed cancer occurrence, birth defects and blood lead levels over a 10-year period from 2006-2017. Key fi ndings from the report: • Overall cancer rates were virtually identical to cancer rates in the seven-county Metro. For both genders combined, 970 cancers were diagnosed in residents living in the study area compared to the expected number of 978 cancers. This includes three types of cancers, kidney, liver and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, most believed to be associated with TCE exposure. • Based on the timeline of reported TCE emissions, about 400 infants were born to women living in the area. About three infants per yer were diagnosed with congenital heart defects. These numbers do

not appear different from expected numbers. MDH will continue to review congenital heart defects in the fi rst year of life for its mid 2021 report. • Water Gremlin manufactures lead products. Community members were concerned lead could have been mishandled so blood lead level was assessed. Elevated blood lead level (EBLL) was defi ned at 5 micrograms per deciliter or greater. These rates decreased in all four zip codes over time. For adults, the 55110 zip code showed higher EBLL rates than the other zip codes. However, when known Water Gremlin employees were excluded, there was no significant difference between zip codes. A copy of the report can be found online at health.state.mn.us/data/ mcrs/docs/rptwblgemlake.pdf

White Bear tennis has 3 strong outings BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake tennis had a good week, beating Cretin-Derham Hall 4-3 and St. Paul Como Park 5-2, then placing third among eight teams at a Hibbing tournament Saturday. The Bears are 4-2 in dual meets. Cooper Anderson, senior at No. 1 singles, won all five matches for the week. In the Hibbing finals, he beat Park Center’s Parker Sell 6-2, 6-0, capturing the championship for the third time. The Bears’ No. 1 doubles team of seniors Bennett King and James Williams won in

both dual meets and have a 5-0 record. Caden Anderson at 4-singles, and Cullen Johnson/Gavin Tschida at 3-doubles, also won against CDH. Each moved up one spot against Como Park and won again. The other points against Como came from Zach Gronsberg/Dan Holmes at 3-doubles. “Caden has improved immensely over the last month,” coach Christine Anderson said about the sophomore. “He has won big matches for our team and grinds until the very last point. He won a tough match against a Como player that was over a foot taller than him.” At Hibbing, Mound-Weston-

ka notched 27 points, Pine City 25, the Bears 24, Hibbing 22, Eveleth-Gilbert 12, East Grand Forks 10, Duluth Marshall 8 and Grand Rapids 7. Placing runner-up for the Bears were Caden Anderson at 2-singles, King and Cullen Johnson at 1-doubles, and Holmes/Grossberg at 2-doubles. Chase Bill placed third at 4-singles. (Missing were Williams and the regular 2-singles, Patrick Hunner.) “Zach (a senior) and Dan (junior) have been a dangerous doubles team in their first varsity season,” the coach said, noting that they took the champ duo from Mound-Westonka to a third set.

Townley first Bear champ (twice) at Hamline Elite

Bears win St. Thomas track meet; shot-putters lead BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Finishing strong in each race, Erika Townley emerged as a double winner in the state’s highest-profile regular-season track meet Friday evening. At the Hamline Elite Meet April 26, the White Bear Lake senior won the 100 hurdles in 14.78, overtaking Edina’s Evelyn Adams in the last few yards, and won the 300 hurdles in 44.31. Townley is the Bears’ first-ever champion in this annual invitational for top talent from around the state from all classes, coach Richard Samuelson said. “The girls ran incredibly well. Great meet for us,” added the coach. The Bears also placed second and fourth in relays. Townley, who was state runner-up in both races last June, needed all the energy she could muster from her lanky frame at the tape in each race. “During the 100, I didn’t get off to the best start, so it took the entire race to catch up,” said Townley. “I was working on sprinting in between each hurdle, and staying low over them, to save me time. At the end, I didn’t even know I won because it was such a close race.” About the 300, she recounted: “I seemed to get to the hurdles in the right amount of steps, but I also didn’t get off to the best start, so it really came down to the last 100 to seal the first place spot. Definitely room for improvement there, so I’m excited to race again.” Townley took second in the 300 at Hamline a year ago and didn’t run the

White Bear Lake had “a great track meet, at an outstanding college setting,” the boy's track coach assessed, about Bears first-place finish among nine teams at the St. Thomas University Boys High School Invitational on Friday evening. The Bears rolled up 159.5 points, followed by Wayzata with 144 and Eastview 99 in the top three. “The Bears had 23 personal bests,” coach Tom Paulson noted, “and added nine more entries on the state honor roll.” The team's best event was shot put, with Luke Parzyck winning with 48-9, Andrew Kohnen second (47-6), Sean Ruohmaki third (47-5), and Mitchell Landsberger tying for fourth (47-2). They are coached by Jon Pratt.

“The throwers continue to take turns beating each other in meets,” said Paulson, adding that Ruohmaki and Kohnen went to state last year. Kevin Boeing won triple jump with a personal-best 45-3 3/4 and high jump with 6-0. His triple was a personal-best and moved him up to No. 3 all time for the Bears The team record is 47-8 by Dan Lynch in 1988. The Bears also got first-places from Carter Ehlers in the 200 (23.07) and Isaac Maruyama in the 3200 (9:55.28). Logan Tanttu was second in the 800 (2:00.26). In the 1600, Max Nelson took second (4:28.43) and Tryg Solberg fourth (4:29.12). Will Flemons was fourth in long jump (20-0) and Sam Verkerke fifth in the 400 (53.98). In relays, the Bears were second in the 4x200, 4x400 and 4x800 and third in the 4x100.

She ran with Lauren Eckerle, Danielle Madden, and Bailey McCullough. The Bears 4x800 team of Maddie Verkerke, Natalie Andres, McCullough and Eckerley placed fourth in 9:40.10.

Zephyr tennis plays six straight days, goes 5-2 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mahtomedi tennis played six straight days, a total of seven matches, last week, winning the fi rst five to stay unbeaten, then falling to two strong opponents. The Zephyrs (7-2) fi nished a suspended match against South St. Paul with a 7-0 win Monday. “I’m hopeful this victory sets the tone for a wild week of tennis for us,” said fi rst-year coach Aaron Freer that day. Mahtomedi proceeded to beat Henry Sibley 5-2, Stillwater 4-3, St. Thomas Academy 6-1 and North St. Paul 7-0 the next four days. Capping the week at an indoor meet in Bloomington on Saturday, the Zephyrs lost 4-3 to Elk River (121) and 5-2 to Hopkins (4-3). “Both Elk River and Hopkins demonstrated the little things that separate good teams from the really good teams,” said Freer. “Hopkins displayed too much depth for us in

the doubles matchups, but I knew our singles players would give us a chance.” The Zephyrs are 6-0 in the Metro East with Simley and Hill-Murray yet to play. The hard-fought win at Stillwater came down to No. 2 doubles, where Andre Yasis and Evin Sougstad rallied for a 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-1 win. That was Freer’s fi rst match as head coach in his hometown and it “brought back a lot of good memories” of his prep career 20 years ago, Peter Morris at No. 1 was 4-3 for the grueling week. David Azcona was 4-1 at No. 2 and missed the Saturday matches. Sam Rathmanner at 3- and 4-singles went 7-0; he’s 9-0 overall without losing a set. Seventh-grader Jack Allaben was 5-2 at 3- and 4-singles. Adam Radabaugh/Corey Steinhauser went 4-1 at No. 1 doubles. Radabaugh moved to 2-singles Saturday with Azcona absent, and came through with victories against Elk River and Hopkins.

ley Rosenthal fi red a two-hitter with 10 strikeouts as the Zephyrs defeated Henry Sibley 4-2. Knocking in two runs each were Claire Wirka, who had a triple, and Olivia Van Hout, who was 2-for-4. The Zephyrs lost to North St. Paul despite Rosenthal pitching well again (seven hits, one walk, six strikeouts) but got out dueled by North.

Zephyrs 4th in MEC girls golf meet Mahtomedi girls golf placed fourth among eight teams in a Metro East Conference meet April 23 at Phalen Golf Course. Maddie Simon placed second individually with 81, a stroke behind Simley’s Reese McCauley. Megan Clements was 10th with 98. Ella Stromberg shot 101 and Abbey Johnson 109. Top four teams were Hill-Murray 364, Simley 374, Hastings 385, Mahtomedi 389.

Zephyr girls hoops coach steps down

Keller, where Nelson, Nick Gambeski and Noah Schmidt all shot 40. St. Thomas Academy and Hill-Murray won those meets.

Boys lacrosse 1-4 in rugged schedule Mahtomedi boys lacrosse, facing a daunting early schedule, has a 1-4 record, on the heels of two consecutive state tournament seasons. The Zephyrs drubbed North St. Paul 18-0 last week for their lone win. They have lost by 13-6 to Stillwater (3-0), 10-9 to Chanhassen (3-2), 10-7 to St. Thomas Academy (4-0) and 9-3 to Benilde-St. Margaret’s (3-0).

Lacrosse girls roll to 5 straight Mahtomedi girls lacrosse has won five straight after losing their opener to Park 10-8. The Zephyrs downed Mounds View 10-6, Roseville Area 13-4, Hastings 18-2, Tartan 22-3, and Apple Valley 8-3. All those teams are below .500. On Wednesday, the Zephyrs will play at Hill-Murray (5-0).

Eric Prose has resigned as Mahtomedi girls basketball coach after three seasons. His teams posted a 57-24 record and two Metro East Conference titles, and he was twice named section coach of the year. “I’ve been coaching varsity sports (football and basketball) for over 20 years and it’s time for a little break,” said Prose, an elementary teacher at South Washington County Schools.

Zephyrs’ Fosdick 3rd at Hamline Elite track Mahtomedi senior track-and-field leader Ian Fosdick was invited to the Hamline Elite Meet this past Friday and made a good showing. He placed third in triple jump with 45-5 1/2. This is an early season showcase of the top talent in the state in all classes. Bruce Strand

The 2019 Lynn Mielke Distinguished Educator Award Recipient is elementary paraprofessional Katie Sorenson, center. She was nominated by school psychologist Heather Musich, administrative assistant Michon Sommers, and teachers Laura Bege, Karen Broza and Jennifer Elias.

Paraprofessional named 2019 distinguished educator The White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation presented its 2019 Lynn Mielke Distinguished Educator Award on April 23 to Katie Sorenson, special education paraprofessional at Lakeaires Elementary School. The surprise presentation took place during a staff meeting at Lakeaires. This White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation award honors Lynn Mielke, a former cherished White Bear Lake educator, and recognizes an employee in the White Bear Lake Area Schools community who uses their talents to enrich the lives of others. Sorenson was chosen from among 10 nominees. As stated in the nomination letters, “No matter how significant a child’s unique needs, Katie builds a strong relationship with that child, which is based on trust and unconditional acceptance. She always puts others fi rst. You will not fi nd a more dedicated, compassionate or kind person. It is an absolute dream having her in my room every day.”

A White Bear Center for the Arts project in collaboration with White Bear Lake Area High Schools and celebrated Minnesota photographer Wing Young Huie will be featured in a Minnesota State Arts Board exhibition showcasing artwork supported by the state’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. The Creative Investment exhibition celebrating 10 years of Legacy art and impact opened on April 26 at the Minnesota State Arts Board in Saint Paul. It will be on display through the fall. Wing Young Huie's work is known for his documenting Minnesotans' changing cultural landscape, challenging assumptions and inviting conversations. Huie partnered with White Bear Center for the Arts and 27 teachers to work with over 1,500 students at the area high schools. Students interviewed other students with guidance from Huie on cultural and identity themes. Students then employed an array of artistic mediums to reveal the complex realities of their fellow students. The project was supported through Legacy funding. More information about the exhibition and the artwork can be found on the arts board website: arts. state.mn.us.

A local history teacher will be taking a trip to Florence, Italy, to study Renaissance art and architecture and bring alive the past for his students. Brian Martinez has been teaching sixth through eighth grade history at Liberty Classical Academy in White Bear Lake for three years. He's been a teacher for 22 years. Martinez received the grant, of about $4,500, from Fund for Teachers and the Vadnais Heights Area Community Foundation (VHACF). “Professionally, it is the opportunity of a lifetime,” Martinez said. “I think it brings the past into the current for students.” He teaches medieval, Renaissance and Reformation and modern history. Before coming to Liberty, he was not very familiar with the Renaissance and conducted considerable research in order to teach about it, he said. This is why he chose Florence as a place to further his education in person. For one week this summer, he will visit museums and focus on how art and architecture of the era influenced history. He will also take students on field trips

in the Twin Cities to see how Minnesota was influenced by Renaissance art and architecture. His experience in Italy will help bring history alive for students, he added. “There's just a sense of joy that I have been given this opportunity,” he said. VHACF has been partnering with Fund for Teachers for nine years, said board member Muriel Janneke. Approximately half of the annual grant is funded by each entity. Any PreK-12 teacher in the White Bear Lake or Mounds View district areas can apply. For two or more teachers working together, the grant can be up to about $10,000. VHACF has funded several teachers to travel in order to further their expertise on a topic related to their teaching, Janneke said. “By going and experiencing, it brings context to everything you teach,” said VHACF Chair Jerry Moynagh. The first grant awarded in 2011 was for two teachers to attend a conference in Minnesota, Janneke noted. In 2012, two teachers attended a conference in New York. Beginning in 2013, grant recipients have traveled internationally to Namibia, Argentina, Poland, London, Spain and Iceland. The grant

amount was increased in 2016 with the support of Fund for Teachers. This year, Fund for Teachers awarded $2 million in grants to 502 teachers. Raymond Plank, who grew up in Wayzata, Minnesota, founded Fund for Teachers in 2001. He founded and managed Apache Corporation, a global energy enterprise, for 55 years. Since he founded Fund for Teachers nearly 20 years ago as a way to do something for the community, the fund has given

grants to 8,500 teachers nationally. A Vadnais Heights Area Community Foundation committee selects a local winner of the grant each year. Applications for next year open Oct. 1.

Senator learns about area’s career education BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — U.S. Senator Tina Smith met with students and community members to learn more about the area’s career education opportunities April 24 at a meeting hosted by the White Bear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. Smith is on the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education and Labor. She came to the area to learn about what the community is doing to promote career connections between employers and students in fields like health care and manufacturing. By 2024, there is expected to be a shortage of 100,000 workers for jobs in such industries, Smith said during the meeting at Short Elliott Hendrickson (SEH) in Vadnais Heights. She wants Minnesota to be a good place to grow a business and live, she noted. She is working on a bill that would expand funding for partnerships between businesses and high schools. Students shared with Smith about the opportunities they have had to study career pathways while still in high school. Tyler Orlando has been studying in an EMT program through Northeast Metro 916 Intermediate School District. Lauren Mathaus has studied medical careers through District 916 and Eli Knight has studied diesel mechanics skills, like cutting and welding. The District 916 Career and Technical Center housed at Century College has 20 programs for students. The center is available to junior and senior students in 14 area school districts. White Bear Lake Area Schools has four of its own career pathways programs in-house — manufacturing, construction, health care and information technology. Kyle Anderson explained the White Bear Lake Area Schools career pathways manufacturing program. He said he likes working with his hands and machines, and his decision to study welding and manufacturing in college was solidified when he took

a manufacturing and applied engineering class in high school. He also participated in the NE Metro Manufacturing Education Partnership between the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation, area school districts and Ramsey County. The program offers paid internships to career pathways students, in partnership with local businesses. Joy VanderHeiden of Schwing America, which participates in the internship, said it is a good way to find workers. Smith said it is important students are exposed to a variety of great career opportunities and are not just pushed toward a four-year degree as a default. “It is not a good fit for a lot of students,” she noted. Smith also toured Century College to see the school’s career training facilities to prepare students for 21st-century jobs.
