DNR agrees to public hearing on protective elevation after all

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — The White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) got its wish.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has agreed to hold a public information meeting and listening session no later than June 9 on the protective elevation of White Bear Lake.

In return, the WBLCD agreed to withdraw its appeal.

The WBLCD had filed an appeal with the court system after the DNR denied a request to hold a public hearing to discuss its protective elevation order.

The order established an elevation of 922 feet last December at a meeting the district was not invited to attend, setting a number district representatives felt was too low.

WBLCD Chair Bryan DeSmet and attorney Alan Kantrud met April 21 with DNR staff to try to resolve the matter out of court, then held a closed meeting with the district board April 27. The 10-member board agreed to dismiss the appeal after the DNR agreed to hold the public meeting, along with other stipulations.

A location has not been determined, but it will be near White Bear Lake. The agency will accept both oral and written comments on the protective elevation from members of the public. The DNR also agrees that written comments shall be maintained in the records of the DNR related to the protective elevation, shall be used by the DNR to inform decisions on its implementation and shall become part of the administrative record in any permit adjustments the DNR finds are necessary to implement the protective elevation.

Once the venue and date is confirmed, the DNR agrees to issue notice promptly with a goal of issuing the notice at least three weeks in advance. A media advisory will also be issued concerning the meeting at least 24 hours in advance.

The stipulation of settlement ending the legal action was signed April 28 by DeSmet and Barbara Naramore, assistant DNR commissioner.

His unusual name was just one of the things about Coho Menk that set him apart.

He had just graduated from Baylor University with a degree in neuroscience. He planned to continue his studies in Central America via the Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship awarded by the State Department.

He lived a life of faith, fellowship and service as

a youth pastor, mentor and coach. Then unexpectedly on May 19, 2016, the 22-year-old died from an epileptic seizure.

A year later, the young man who left a mark on many people’s hearts is being remembered through the efforts of his grieving mother.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — At its April 25 meeting, the City Council conducted the following business: • Approved a $7,000 donation to Marketfest.

Director Deb Stender told council the annual summer festival is in its 27th year. Held on seven Thursday evenings starting June 15, the downtown event draws up to 5,000 per week who enjoy two stages of live music and about 130 vendors.

The money has been budgeted and will come from the economic development fund. The city has been contributing to Marketfest each year since 1998, when Main Street assumed its operation from the Economic Development Corporation.

• Heard a report from City Engineer Mark Burch regarding stormwater pollution prevention.

Burch urges residents help keep storm drains clear of debris. “Never rake leaves into the gutter or put grass clippings in the street,” he said, noting that “what you wash in your driveway ends up in a storm sewer and, eventually, a lake, river or pond.”

• Commissioned artist Aaron Marx for creation of a public sculpture at Boatworks Commons.

The city manager will offer the Golden Valley artist a contract to create the piece, estimated

to cost $40,000. The artwork will be displayed in the public green space next to the apartment complex. The developer committed to one-third of the project cost, up to $20,000.

The council agreed to wait and view the fi nished artwork at a public unveiling, scheduled for completion by Nov. 1.

• Authorized a lease agreement for temporary parking for White Bear Mitsubishi at Taymark Inc. The Metropolitan Council is doing sewer work behind the dealership, so an arrangement was made with Taymark to park some of the inventory. General Manager Richard Herod explained his need for a temporary parking lot, which should last about 18 months. When asked if he worried about vandalism, Herod said that is always a danger, but considers White Bear Lake a safe community. “We are insured for vandalism,” he added.

Councilman Dan Jones thanked Herod for all the positive publicity his bear mascot has brought to White Bear Lake. He was referring to a video that went viral of the bear slipping and falling on the ice while fi lming a commercial.

Herod then pointed out that “Polar Chev has their bear, a polar bear; ours is a white bear.”

Groovy entertainment on tap at free outdoor concert Cerenity Care Center is celebrating its 60th year of providing senior care to the White Bear Lake area. As part of the festivities, Cerenity is hosting an outdoor concert from 6 to 7 p.m. at Jack Yost Park on Tuesday, May 16.

In a show called “The Sirens of the '60s,” a trio of female singers including Jennifer Grimm, her mother Colleen Raye and aunt Debbie O'Keefe, will perform classic songs of the great female vocalists of the decade.

Grimm is well known on the local White Bear music scene. She has performed at venues like Manitou Grill, Ingredients Cafe and Washington Bar & Grill many times, often with her fiance, Joe Cruz.

The hometown vocalist grew up traveling and singing her way across the country with her family's variety act for the first 13 years of her life and continued performing with her mother in various venues later on. While earning a degree in mathematics from Augsburg College, Grimm continued performing with funk bands and in cabaret and theater venues. When she went solo, she appeared on stages in New York City, Europe and the Caribbean.

The “Sirens of the ‘60s” includes the trio Debbie O’Keefe, Colleen Raye and Katie Gearty, from left. Raye’s daughter, local vocalist Jennifer Grimm (shown right), will be filling in for Gearty at the Cerenity concert.

Raye, a Wisconsin native, began her singing career at age 15 performing in her brother's band. She later established herself as a jazz vocalist. While touring with a national nightclub act, she met Steve Grimm, a former “New Christy Minstrel.” Not only did they

have a professional relationship, but the two married and had four children, Trey, Jennifer, Reed and Sophia, all successful musicians in their own right. The children performed with their parents on special occasions until the couple separated. Raye then forged

her own music career, not only as a vocalist but as a vocal and performance coach, producer and composer.

O'Keefe is a resident of Hudson, Wisconsin, and a regular member in her sister's shows.

The trio will perform hits from female artists like Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark and Lesley Gore. Promotional material provided by Raye note the new show “recalls great songs and memories of a musically and culturally transitional period of time.

The May 16 concert is free and open to the entire White Bear community.

There will be free ice cream treats, too.

Concertgoers are asked to bring a lawn chair for seating.

Waking up welders

W

hile on a recent tour of White Bear Lake Area High School I had the opportunity to try the school’s state-of-the-art welding simulator.

I was impressed by the augmented reality tool that showed me how fast and at what angle I should make my virtual weld through the welding helmet.

I could even hear the virtual molten metal popping. When I was done, what I saw in augmented reality was a bubbly semi-straight metal line that reminded me of the first time I welded.

My husband Andrew is a welder by trade. He started in a high school class and hasn’t stopped for 20 years.

He enrolled in a college program to Story pursue welding while still a student at Centennial High School.

Chaser The first time I saw him weld was Sara Marie Moore five years ago on Valentine’s Day. We were dating and when I visited him at work he led me into his welding booth. Before my eyes, a metal heart streamed forth onto a metal display. Sparks were flying.

A few years later he told me he was going to make a wedding arbor in the shape of my engagement ring. I watched it come together as he fabricated the swoops and swirls with perfectly stacked steel TIG welds — like a stack of diamonds melding our lives together. We said our vows under it, decorated with lace, pearls and lilacs.

I never worry that my husband will not be able to find a job — not many millennials are welders by trade and there are always plenty of companies looking for good welders. When we were students in the 90s and early 2000s, the professions we each have today were not often promoted. Instead, well-meaning teachers and career counselors encouraged students toward post-secondary education leading to careers with computers and the newest technologies.

20 years later, I would like to announce that paper and metal still exist. The downside of the push for technology careers at the turn of the 21st century is a current gap in skilled tradesmen and tradeswomen in today’s workforce.

The good news is that trades are once again being hailed as great careers. Schools are encouraging students to explore multiple avenues for meaningful work. STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) was much too narrow of a movement. It’s time to WAKE UP (welding, auto mechanics, construction, electrical, utilities, precision manufacturing) and prepare high school students for careers in the trades.

White Bear Lake Area Schools is helping students to think practically about their future careers through its new career pathways programs. Last year, the high school started a manufacturing and a construction career program. The new welding simulator was purchased with a $25,000 grant from the Construction Careers Foundation. Principal Tim Wald said only one other school in Minnesota probably has something like it.

I expect Generation Z will be woken up to the wonder of welding through programs and equipment like this. It bodes well for their future careers and could even give them some wooing tools for their future spouse.

My husband has fabricated a variety of things throughout his career — race cars, railing for the Twins stadium, oil field equipment for the Bakken oil boom and pontoon boats here in the northeast metro. I’m grateful for the teacher who encouraged him to pursue a career in welding when it was overlooked in the ’90s — he saw the talented teen loved it and it probably never crossed his mind to make a foreboding prediction that metal craftsmanship would disappear in 20 years.

Every good tradesman and tradeswoman in the trenches knows working hard with your hands never goes out of style.

A path toward compromise in Minnesota

A

t the beginning of the legislative session, I wrote in these pages of my hope that the state legislature might “turn a new leaf on partisanship and political gamesmanship and instead get to work on the problems that keep Minnesotans up at night.” As we barrel toward the end of session, I want to evaluate where we stand at the State Capitol that lens.

Movers and through Within the fi rst few weeks, Shakers Republicans and Democrats alike Peter Fischer were able to come together to pass premium tax relief for Minnesotans on the individual market.

If you purchase your insurance individually, you should begin seeing those reductions on your bill very soon. In the future, I would like to see Minnesotans be able to buy into MinnesotaCare, which would bring down premiums. But with divided government, this was a good fi rst step toward making health care more affordable for Minnesotans, and I was proud to be part of this bipartisan effort.

On REAL ID compliance, we are close to a compromise that would allow Minnesotans to continue using their driver’s licenses on airplanes and military bases next year. There was

a minor dustup in the beginning over spiteful language that would have permanently barred some immigrants from obtaining licenses. But the Republican-controlled Senate overwhelmingly passed a clean bill without that language, and I’m hopeful the House will follow their lead and send a clean bill to the Governor to solve this issue quickly.

On both the agriculture and legacy budget bills, both parties were able to come together and pass them in the Minnesota House with overwhelming bipartisan support. These collaborative bills will improve farm safety and help us preserve some of Minnesota’s greatest cultural assets.

And most recently, a bill I co-authored (HF 1542) to protect small businesses who are subject to a barrage of frivolous lawsuits that make it difficult for them to grow and create jobs also passed on a bipartisan basis out of the House of Representatives.

That said, we still have two major pieces of business to complete: the rest of the state budget and a bonding bill.

On the budget, Republicans and Democrats have clear differences of opinion on how to grow our economy and make Minnesota a better place to live. The House majority’s preferred budget would cut taxes for the very rich and pay for it by shortchanging our kids’ public education and defunding the Governor’s voluntary pre-K program across the

state.

Though I’m sympathetic to the idea of tax cuts for certain families, I believe we should be targeting those tax cuts to middle class families, bringing down the cost of a college education, and even giving our personal care attendants who care for people with disabilities and the elderly a much-needed raise.

The bonding bill is also something that needs to get done.

We have critical repairs in our communities that need bonding dollars to start shovel-ready projects now, including repairs to our own Century College. The Governor has introduced his bonding bill, the State Senate has introduced a bonding bill, and the House DFL has introduced our bonding bill. But so far we have seen nothing from the House majority. I hope Speaker Daudt moves forward with a proposal soon because the longer we wait, the more interest rates will rise, and the more expensive these projects will become.

We have proven in the legislature that compromise is possible when we take time to actually listen to one another. So I hope we can use those skills for the next three weeks as we put together a budget and a bonding bill for the people of Minnesota. I’m up for that challenge.

Rep. Peter Fischer represents District 43A in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Everyone should read USGS report White Bear Lake (WBL) is very fortunate to have Perry M. Jones and the U.S. Geological Service (USGS) here in Minnesota. Jones just received the “Best Groundwater Reports of 2016 from a Water Science Center” award from the U.S. Department of the Interior for his paper titled: “Statistical analysis of lake levels and field study of groundwater and surface-water exchanges in the northeast Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Minnesota, 2002 through 2015.”

We congratulate our local Perry Jones on this honor.

This paper provides data and analysis on lakes in the Northeast Twin Cities and gives our community direction for what has happened to White Bear Lake over the last 10 years. We have learned that our lake is interconnected with the aquifers beneath the lake, that municipal wells south of our lake contain 60 percent lake water, that WBL is a closed-basin lake, that WBL was augmented from the 1930s to 1978, that closed-basin lakes are primarily dependent on precipitation and groundwater inflow for water sources, that the recent increase in variability in closed-basin lakes also may result from less-frequent augmentation of closed-basin lakes, that lake levels in WBL were much more variable compared to levels in the other 13 lakes in this analysis, that WBL had the most negative anomaly from its long-term mean compared to the rest of the lakes, etc.

This report should be read and studied by everyone interested in saving WBL for its many historical recreational uses by this region. This report makes it clear that WBL is a unique lake and deserves to be conserved for future generations.

This writer believes we have three choices to conserve WBL: 1) We can choose to continue to do nothing and watch the loss of our precious lake over time; 2) We can return to the shortterm practice of augmenting our lake much like was successfully done prior to 1979 and recently to Snail Lake and Gilfi llan Lake; or 3) We can return to the use of surface water, i.e. Mississippi River water from the St. Paul Regional Water Services, to protect our aquifers and White Bear Lake.

Mike Downing White Bear Lake

Shortened letter left out important part While I recognize the White Bear Press has the right to edit letters to the editor due to length, I fi nd the way my letter was edited to be outrageous. The part of my letter that was cut, was, “The USGS found lake water in White Bear Lake water tanks, south of the lake. City pumping of water from the aquifer acts like a siphon, taking water from the lake.” It would appear to me, that the White Bear Press is not interested in having its readers know everything about the lake problem. Is the Press worried about publishing a letter critical of the city?

Rodney Hoffman White Bear Lake Editor’s note: The original letter was over the permitted 350-word count and shortened per our guidelines. We have reported lake water in city water towers in the past.

Lake level lawsuit ‘ridiculous’ After reading the editorials in the White Bear Press for the last few months, I can no longer sit idly by and watch this ridiculous lawsuit continue without at least some common sense being injected.

I moved to White Bear Lake 32 years ago with my wife and kids because of the childhood memories of riding around the lake on my motorcycle and the community around it. I also try to use common sense when I look at the various activities circulating throughout our community.

When I read about this lawsuit, I cannot believe there is a group of people actually suing the DNR over the lake level. There seems to be blame going in all directions for the reason for the lake level to fluctuate. Well, I am going to add my reason to the list. It’s called Mother Nature.

I fully support water conservation practices in our everyday lives. This only makes common sense. When I read about proposed irrigation bans throughout the city for the benefit of the few that live around the lakeshore, I ask myself what happened to common sense. Many of our residents’ rights would be trampled on for the few.

When my family purchased our cabin in northern Minnesota, there was not a water level guarantee certificate included. I have seen the water level fluctuate many feet over the course of 45 years at our cabin.

Let’s all take a step back and look at what we are really doing here. You never know, you may even get a chuckle out of it.

Thomas Kunz White Bear Lake

Open letter to State Rep. Matt Dean I am one of of two dozen-plus citizens who met with you Jan. 7 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in White Bear Lake, brought together by the Joint Religious Legislative Coalition, a statewide organization. That day, we expressed to you our united support for passage of a monthly cash increase to impoverished Minnesotans enrolled in the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP). This subsidy has not increased in Minnesota since 1986; the much-needed increase is long overdue. This year, we are pleased to hear that there is bipartisan agreement to not fi nancially penalize people who marry while enrolled in the program.

Our prayers as people of faith, and our desire as citizens, are for passage of a legislative increase in the MFIP subsidy to help our neighbors to make ends meet. We are especially tender-hearted toward the 70 percent of MFIP recipients who are children — 50 percent of those children are under 5 years old. We intend that our government provide adequately for these vulnerable youngsters. We call upon you, Rep. Dean, in your legislative leadership role as chair of the Human Services Committee, to commit fi nancial care in our legislative budget to match our level of concern for these Minnesotans.

Diane Peterson White Bear Lake Editor’s note: Three other residents in Rep. Matt Dean’s district also signed this letter.

Disagree with student’s expulsion I strongly disagree with the rulings of the school board that extended Brendan Lundell’s expulsion (“Mahtomedi School Board expels ‘beloved student,’” April 26, 2017). I believe that they should have kept the expulsion only until the end of the year. I personally know Brendan and know that he would never hurt anyone. In this situation he was only trying to help the other student.

It was a dumb choice on his part, but aren’t we all at times? Who hasn’t made a stupid decision and has never been caught? Not me, that’s for sure. I hope maybe something can be done to help Brendan.

Will Goebel Stillwater

Child care assistance not working We have heard a lot about our leaders’ interest in early childhood education, and it’s time for them to step up. I run a four-star Parent Aware-rated and NECPA (National Early Childhood Program Accreditation) child care center in White Bear Lake and North St. Paul, and my goal is to serve all families in our community.

This is difficult, however, because our child care assistance system doesn’t work for families or the providers trying to serve them.

Child care assistance reimbursement rates for providers are well below what it costs to run my program. I have to take a loss to serve low-income families using child care assistance. I know providers who will not accept child care assistance funding at all, or who limit the number of families using it who can enroll. This does not allow families enough access to options for their children. It’s not because providers are bad people — it’s because as employers we have to make the fi nances work. If we can’t keep our doors open, our entire community suffers for lack of child care, already in short supply.

Minnesota is also behind in implementing federal reforms for the child care program that will make it easier and more consistent for both families and providers like me. I can’t run a business with a program that regularly bounces kids in and out of child care, and in turn parents in and out of jobs. This helps no one. If we care about early education, then we need to make sure that our most vulnerable children can access it consistently, and that their parents are also able to succeed at work or school.

I am thankful that Rep. Matt Dean took a fi rst step in recommending small increases to the child care assistance budget, and hope that he

and his colleagues can work to invest significantly more before this session ends. Our city and state must be places where all families can thrive.

Ferris wheel, merry-go-round and ice cream in Vadnais I haven’t been able to attend the City Council meetings discussing what to do with the Garceau property on the corner of Centerville Road and Edgerton, but any kind of single homes or tall apartments don’t seem to fit in with the area to me. How about a small amusement park that had a merry-go-round, a Ferris wheel and a few other fun things. A place to buy a good ice cream cone, maybe some candy floss, benches to sit on, flowers around, etc. We could also have a little gift shop and a nice place to eat as well (but not another sports bar) and a memory plaque to all the fi rst settlers in Vadnais Heights. Just a few thoughts.

Businesses need property tax relief Minnesota businesses have among the highest property tax burdens in the country. One of the main reasons? “An extra property tax paid just by businesses (and cabins) that goes to the state general fund,” not local governments.

This extra tax accounts for almost a third of a business property tax bill. Whether it’s a main street retailer, a tenant in a larger building or a manufacturer in the industrial park, businesses face this tax burden whether they are profitable or not. And it goes up automatically every year.

With a budget surplus of $1.65 billion, urge our legislators to provide some tax relief for our local businesses by eliminating the automatic infl ator and reducing the statewide property tax this year.

Molly Jungbauer White Bear Lake

Different kind of message In response to Taffy Benson’s submission (“Trash leaving a message,” April 19, 2017) I ask that the next time she is on her litter collection rounds she go jump in the lake.

Kristen Brodie White Bear Township

Businesses pay extra tax In Minnesota, businesses pay an extra property tax. Since 2002, more than $10 billion has been sent from our communities to the state of Minnesota to pay for this extra property tax. Fact is, the average business in Minnesota pays more to the state of Minnesota in property taxes than it pays separately to any of our local governments — schools, townships, cities or counties.

It’s hard enough to create jobs without adding special taxes on our job creators. Let’s reduce Minnesota’s extra property tax and keep that money back home in our communities. Urge your legislator to reduce the statewide business property tax levy and eliminate the automatic infl ator.

Tom Snell Executive Director White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce

Expulsion decision troubling The decision of the Mahtomedi Administration and the School Board is arrogant and very troubling in many ways (“Mahtomedi School Board expels ‘beloved student,’” April 26, 2017). What is the lesson here? Having a “one size fits all” policy is a cop-out that relieves them from having to put themselves out there and thoughtfully hold individuals accountable.

Why is a person who does something dumb, but has no intent to cause harm, treated in the same way as a person who does an intentional act with who knows what potential outcome? The punishment needs to fit the crime. Their close-mindedness makes no sense and is especially disappointing coming from the very people whose job it is to provide our children with the educational foundation they need for the rest of their lives. This is a good kid. While this may be an inconvenience for the administration and the School Board, it is life changing for Brendan.

Vadnais Heights City Councilman arrested

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS – A City Councilman was arrested for alleged domestic assault and interfering with a 911 call early Sunday morning.

Terry Nyblom, 53, allegedly interfered with a 911 call from a 53-year-old female from St. Paul at his home in the 700 block of Hiawatha Avenue about 1:30 a.m. April 30, said Randy Gustafson of the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office.

Nyblom has been charged in Ramsey County District Court with interfering with a 911 call, domestic assault, fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct.

The female caller had claimed to 911 dispatchers that Nyblom was verbally and physically abusing her, Gustafson said.

The victim said Nyblom was extremely intoxicated and yelled at her to leave his house, according to court documents. She called a friend to pick her up and waited for her ride. Nyblom continued to yell at her, saying statements similar to, “‘I should f---ing kill you’; I’m going to break your nose,’ and ‘They’re not going to do anything to me, I’m a City Councilman,’” according to court documents. Nyblom allegedly laughed when he made the last statement.

Nyblom then allegedly grabbed the victim by her collar with such force she thought he was trying to choke her, according to court documents. Law enforcement officers noticed a bruise on the victim’s arm where the jacket rubbed her skin.

The victim tried to call 911 on the land line but Nyblom allegedly threw the phone, according to court documents. The victim then called 911 on her cell phone.

She said Nyblom had been drinking alcohol since the morning of April 29 and had also been drinking

the evening of April 28, according to court documents.

Law enforcement observed bloodshot, watery eyes, slurred speech and the smell of alcohol on Nyblom. He denied any physical confrontation with the victim but admitted to consuming a six pack.

The victim stated she feared for her life and reported prior evidence of domestic conduct over the last month including Nyblom pushing her and a text message on Easter saying something like, “If you hold her head under water long enough she’ll quit breathing,” according to court documents.

The victim and Nyblom reportedly had a romantic relationship.

Nyblom was arrested and taken to the Ramsey County Adult Detention Center. Records indicate Nyblom was still in custody as of Monday morning.

Nyblom was convicted for disorderly conduct in 2002, according to court records.

Nyblom has been a City Councilman since 2013.

Screaming woman escapes kidnapper’s grasp

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WILLERNIE — A man attempted to kidnap a woman near Domino’s Pizza in Willernie April 20 but the woman screamed and got away from his grip.

Another woman heard her scream and called law enforcement.

Michael Grant Harker, 34, of Scandia, has been charged with kidnapping, according to court documents. The man, on parole from Idaho for felony strangulation and domestic assault (charges that originally included sexual assault and kidnapping), allegedly grabbed the woman by the hair and tried to put her in his van about 8:30 p.m.

The victim reported she had been

standing on the sidewalk smoking a cigarette when a white van drove past her very slowly and the driver stared at her, according to court documents. The van later returned and the man got out. She asked him what his deal was and said he grabbed her by the neck and hair and forced her toward his van.

While trying to put her in the van, he allegedly tried to grab her cell phone but she gripped it tighter. She started screaming as loud as she could and he allegedly punched her in the head. She was able to get away from his grasp and ran across the street screaming for help.

Meanwhile, another woman heard the victim screaming and went to see what was happening. She reported seeing a man forcing a woman into a van and

tried to block the vehicle, but he drove around her. She called law enforcement.

The victim did not know the man. When deputies arrived, her husband had also arrived and she was curled up in her car, crying.

“We are pleased the victim was recovered on site and that no further harm came to her,” said Washington County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Dan Starry. “Stranger abductions are among the most difficult cases to investigate, as we all know.”

Both women described the van as an older white Ford Econoline with black lettering, “Harper,” on the window and license plate numbers 624, according to court documents.

A nearby business surveillance video

captured much of the incident. Washington County Sheriff’s Office detectives and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) investigators traced the information to Harker. The van apparently was used for his business, Harker Properties. He was arrested April 22.

“This is a wonderful example of different law enforcement agencies coming together to swiftly apprehend a dangerous man,” said County Attorney Pete Orput.

Harker is on parole after being released from jail in 2016.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A White Bear Lake woman, wanted on warrants for her arrest for theft and careless driving, was picked up the morning of April 19 at a gas station in the 1000 block of County Road E. The 18-yearold was also charged with providing false information to police along with expired vehicle plates and insurance to match. The teen was booked into the Ramsey County Jail.

• Simply Self Storage located at Hwy. 61 and I-694 suffered a rash of break-ins during April. In the latest of five, overnight on the 20th a lock was snipped and tools, two projectors and several pairs of shoes were taken.

• Did their dog know? The barking dog alerted homeowners to a garage door left open in the 4500 block of Birch Bend Court the night of April 20. A bag of dog treats and a wallet went missing from an unlocked vehicle. Credit cards were canceled.

• A shoplifter was videotaped at Wal-Mart on County Road E the afternoon of April 20, but only the back of the heavily built, balding male was shown and identification could not be made. The thief made off with $138 worth of items.

• Another Wal-Mart shoplifter was featured on video two days later on the 20th, and this one was collared. The 24-year-old female out of Shoreview was in possession of earrings, Bluetooth headsets, a DVD player and, in possibly a nod to a boyfriend, a set of vehicle floor mats. The total take, recovered, was in the $1,100 range and the 24-year-old, who was “not talking,” according to the police report, was booked into jail on a felony theft charge.

• A St. Paul man, new to the working world at Wal-Mart on County Road E, was featured on video selecting a Monster Energy drink before heading into the break room on April 23. Later that morning, the employee was seen ordering up a Red Bull beverage. The 29-year-old did not pay for either of the drinks, valued at a total of $5.86, and was out of a job by noon.

• A 29-year-old woman and her mother, age 52, contacted 911 the morning of April 25 in a panic, convinced that the daughter’s boyfriend had been locked inside a Public Storage unit in the 1000 block of Birch Lake Boulevard three days earlier. Deputies contacted storage management: the locker was opened, but no boyfriend was found.

The missing man, arriving home later that day, said he had been at work in Hugo.

You’re Invited Paul Auger Guillain-Barre Syndrome Bene t

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A Whitaker Street homeowner called 911 the afternoon of April 21 to report he had found a dead fox in his townhouse parking lot. The caller was referred to county animal control personnel, who advised the man to bag the deceased animal and toss it in the trash.

• A felony burglary was reported the afternoon of April 22 at the Benson Airport in the 5800 block of Hwy. 61. Prowlers entered a hangar after cutting a window screen and took two pressurized gas tanks, a laptop computer, a pellet gun and a microphone, valued at a total of $1,800. The tanks were later found by a passerby walking in the woods. No suspects.

• An investigation of overnight criminal damage to property had just begun April 24 when a man called the authorities and said his teenage son admitted involvement and implicated two others. The youths, behaving badly, had gone crazy with green spray paint, defacing mailboxes, street signs, trees and grass in the 2500 block of Fourth Street and on Cedarwood Court. Three youths, two age 15 and one 16, Dad said, were currently at work cleaning the washable green paint off of items they sprayed. An investigation continues.

Local Republican entering governor’s race DELLWOOD — Republican state Rep. Matt Dean (District 38B) is joining the race for governor. Dean, 51, joins a field of five other Republicans and five Democrats who have announced a run in 2018.

Other area candidates announcing their bid include Ramsey

Matt Dean

County Commissioner Blake Huffman, GOP, State Auditor Rebecca Otto, DFL, and threeterm St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman. Huffman, a former Shoreview City Council member, announced his candidacy April 19.

Dean, 51, is the fi rst Republican in the Legislature to enter

the race. Elected to the House in 2004, he served two years as former House majority leader 2011-12 until the GOP lost control in 2012. When Republicans reclaimed the majority in 2014, Dean was appointed chairman of the Health and Human Services Finance Committee.

As governor, Dean said he would focus on improving conditions for working, middle-class Minnesotans.

A top priority is also dismantling MNsure, the state’s health insurance marketplace.

Born in Ely, Dean was raised in Roseville. He graduated from the University

of Minnesota in Minneapolis, earning a Bachelor of Science in architecture. His wife Laura Dean, MD, is an obstetrician with the Stillwater Medical Group. They have three children; two in college and an eighth-grader.

COHOPE: Soccer important part of nonprofit’s missions to Central America FROM PAGE 1A

mom has since centered her energy on a new nonprofit called CoHOPE. It’s a fitting acronym that stands for Creating Opportunities to Help Others.

Her enthusiasm for the project was sprinkled with tears as Messerly described how the organization came about.

“Growing up, Coho made trips to Central and South America visiting friends made through soccer. On several trips, duffle bags were packed with soccer balls and sports equipment to give to those who had limited access to these items,” she recalled.

“Coho was a member of Baylor University’s Alpha Tau Omega and he hoped the fraternity could someday bring soccer balls to Costa Rica as a giving project.”

So that’s how Messerly kicked off the mission; by delivering soccer balls and uniforms this winter to an underserved facility in the Central American country.

“Coho was a gifted athlete,” Messerly said. “He was an All-State soccer player and two-time national speedskating champion. He was very connected through soccer in a swath between Arden Hills and Stillwater. A wide range of people were exposed to him.”

Her gregarious son, a 2012 graduate of Mounds View High School, formed friendships around the world through his faith and sports experiences, she added. “He nurtured lifelong relationships with many people, spreading joy and compassion. Coho’s spirit inspired the creation of CoHOPE, combining his name with the hope and promise

Costa Rican children received uniforms and soccer balls from CoHOPE founder Beth Messerly in March. Her son made many friends in Latin American countries through soccer.

of his brief, but full life, the international friendships he formed and the selfless ways he served others.”

The name for the nonprofit came to a friend while she and Messerly were lighting a candle for Coho at a small north Minneapolis church. “Our candle blazed out of control, burning the glass around it. It was typical Coho.”

Born Colton Hovey, the second of Messerly’s three children, Coho experienced his fi rst epileptic seizure two weeks before leaving for college. It came out of nowhere, she recalled. The neurologist said if he had a second one it meant epilepsy. The second seizure came in October and he was put on anti-seizure medication.

Not uncommon, his type of epilepsy presents itself in late adolescence or early adulthood, said Coho’s mother.

“We had no connection on either side of the family that we knew. We were told it is a genetic mutation.”

Messerly takes comfort in knowing her son died quickly and painlessly in his bedroom at his father’s North Oaks home. A devout Christian, a copy of “Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis was on his nightstand.

Coho’s connection to people around the world will continue through her, promised Messerly, who is using her experience with other global nonprofits to run CoHOPE. “His path was laid out by God, who knew his life on earth was going to be short, but profoundly rich,” she said.

Messerly is accepting donations of athletic equipment, new or used, especially soccer balls, to send to Central America. She also has a GoFundMe account and is starting CoHo Corps to help underserved children in the metro area.

CoHOPE has received generous donations of athletic gear from St. Odilia church in Shoreview, soccer balls from the city of Arden Hills and uniforms from Mounds View High School.

Memorials also went to Camp Oz, an epilepsy camp for children in Hudson, Wisconsin, where Coho volunteered.

Church said the nonprofit “fits in with our objective. We haven’t done anything official at this point but there are great synergies with CoHOPE. We will partner in some shape or form.”

He believes Messerly is on a mission from God. “She just sparkles,” Norsman said, “and this helps her heal.”

“Coho was only 22 but he impacted lives all over the world,” he added.

“Something I said at his funeral: Most of us count our number of years. He made his years count.”

Her son’s final act of giving was to help 60 families through organ donation. “We know his beautiful eyes will see again,” Messerly said. “We don’t know who or where, but he lives on.

You don’t realize how much impact your child has until something like this happens. He was a beautiful kid.”

Muskies microchipped for population study Muskies weren't hard to fi nd last month in White Bear Lake.

Once every eight years, fi sheries staff with the Minnesota DNR do a standard population estimate of all muskie lakes. The East Metro Area, responsible for White Bear Lake, was on the water April 21 to net and tag the fi sh.

Supervisor TJ DeBates said the population study is done over a two-year period every eight years. “We do this with muskies because they aren't present in lakes in large numbers. We manage them at a low-density population. We can get decent estimates by netting them and inserting a microchip. Next year we'll return and use a scanner to know if the fi sh we net are recaps (meaning recaptured),” he explained.

That information is used in an equation to estimate the population. If tagged fi sh are observed next year, it indicates a healthy population. The process will be repeated in 2023-24.

White Bear Lake is generally stocked every other year with muskies. It's what DeBates calls an “all-age lake,” meaning fi ngerlings, yearlings and adult fi sh are released in the lake. The DNR collaborates with Muskies Inc., which buys fi sh for restocking.

The population surveys and stocking programs are “basic core work” provided by the fi sheries division. “We can't do this work without funding,” DeBates said, “which comes from folks buying fi shing licenses.”

East Metro Area fi sheries staff manage 90 fi shing lakes and 146 miles of rivers and streams.

Muskie fi shing opens Saturday, June 3. They must be a minimum of 54 inches to keep.

Brand spankin’ new city docks All but three of the 160 slips at the new city docks have been rented for the season. City Engineer Mark Burch said there is “excitement about the new dock system” and expects the slips to sell out. Last year all but 30 slips were rented. The

price is $2,295 for the season. The city received permission to use the Press photo on the cover of thank you cards to MINNCOR Industries for being “part of the design, fabrication and installation of the White Bear Lake Municipal Docks.” The

An expansion is planned for the 26-year-old building, including a bigger waterpark and indoor playground.

The current toddler area in the waterpark is crowded, said Mayor Sandy Martin. Shoreview has seen a population shift from seniors to young families.

“All demographics are pointing to transformation in Shoreview to younger families and a lot more children,” Martin noted. The center also draws residents from other communities.

The Tropics Indoor Waterpark will expand into the current outdoor play pool area and the shallow pool will include slides, water streams and interactive play equipment, said City Manager Terry Schwerm. The area could potentially have a retractable roof and walls for sunny summer outdoor play.

“It will be a Dells-like water play area for the 2-to-10-year-old age group,” Martin said.

The waterpark area will also be renovated to include eight family changing areas — it currently has two. It was one of the fi rst facilities in the area to install them, and they have proved popular, Schwerm noted. New booths will also be added in the Wave Cafe area.

The Community Center will also put on a 15,000-square-foot, two-level expansion next to its gymnasium, Schwerm said. The expansion includes a bigger indoor playground area and new rooms for group fitness classes and activities on the lower level.

With the renovation and expansion, children will no longer have to walk through the gym to get to the indoor playground, Schwerm noted.

The plans include a toddler-friendly section of the playground, Martin said. Rooms will also be available right next door for birthday parties.

The Tropical Adventures Indoor Playground was constructed in an underused gym area in 2009.

On the upper level, there will be multipurpose rooms for art classes, summer child care and

meetings, Schwerm added. An outdoor deck from the Fireside Lounge will also be built.

Construction is expected to begin in September, Schwerm said. The Community Center will not be closed during construction, but the waterpark is expected to be closed for about two months in spring 2018. The construction is expected to be complete by summer 2018.

The last big expansion about 15 years ago included the fitness center, Martin noted. “We like to keep things fresh and keep them meeting the needs of the community,” she said. “A lot of things have changed in 25 years.”

The Community Center has proved quite popular over its life for a variety of functions — meeting rooms are rented out almost every night of the week, Martin said. More than 500,000 people visit the center each year.

The cost of the project will be about $12 million, Schwerm said. It will be paid for from the city's capital projects fund and an increase in the city's

debt levy. The city has been working with BWBR Architects on the expansion project.

The city is also working on a new outdoor area that could include a skate park, ice skating pond, fi replaces, event plaza and a new playground.

“We are talking about a destination outdoor playground that is kind of a really spectacular site,” Martin said. Ideas include slides built into the park's hillside.

When the new library was planned next to the Community Center, the city reviewed its master plan for the entire Shoreview Commons site, according to its website. The 40-acre area includes the library, community center, City Hall and outdoor areas.

The city would also like to develop a walkway to connect the new library to the Commons.

Mahtomedi Lacrosse Association hosted a college conference tournament over the weekend, and showcased the local high school team as well — an annual signature fundraiser for this group that funds all the local lacrosse teams including the Zephyrs.

St. Thomas, defending Division II champions, beat St. John’s in the finals of the Upper Midwest Lacrosse Conference club team tournament on Sunday. That game had to be moved to an indoor field in St. Paul due to adverse weather. The semifinals were held Saturday at Mahtomedi.

“This tournament used to be played at a college where teams showed up, played and went home,” said Matt Singer, an official of the Mahtomedi group that has hosted it for three years now.

“We offered to partner up to make this an event to show the Minnesota lacrosse community that we have great

college lacrosse in Minnesota,” he said.

“Players didn’t need to go out east to play at a high level when their high school playing days were over.”

In a marquee matchup of high school teams, No. 7 ranked Mahtomedi defeated No. 6 Wayzata 8-5 to remain unbeaten Saturday evening. The Zephyrs (6-0) also defeated St. Thomas Academy 14-6 and North St. Paul 25-0 during a busy week.

For additional local flavor, the St. John’s lineup included attacker Jace Goudreau of White Bear Lake and defender Kellen Mettling of Mahtomedi; St. Thomas has Mike Harris and Alex Palumbo of Mahtomedi and Alex Vijums of Mounds View; and Minnesota-Duluth has Marcus Mondo and Nicholas Timmons of White Bear Lake and Jared Johnson of Mahtomedi.

The UMLC has a strong field, with four ranked teams. St. Thomas is No. 1, North Dakota State No. 4, St. John’s No. 7 and UM-Duluth No. 8.

WHITE BEAR SPORTS BRIEFS Augsburg/Bears wrestling camp set

Bear diamond men are 2-2 in a solid week

The Augsburg/Bears Youth Wrestling Camp will be held at White Bear Lake High School north campus July 24-27 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. each day, announced Bears coach Craig Nasvik. Augsburg coaches Orlando Pounce, Donny Wichmann and Donny Longendyke will coach.

The camp is open to K-6 at a cost of $60. Contact Nasvik at 651-235-7498.

White Bear Lake baseball (4-7) had a good week, beating Tartan 10-1 and Mounds View 7-6, then losing close games on Saturday to Mahtomedi (7-2) by 1-0 and Stillwater (8-0) by 2-0. Against Tartan, Mack O’Neil was 4-for5 with two runs and Trent Schoeberl threw five shutout innings.

If you want to improve, commit to ‘stick-to-itiveness’ out one or two things that will have the greatest impact on improving your game. I would spend the money and take a lesson from a competent teaching professional. Only you can decide how much time and money you want to invest to improve your game.

Most people do not realize that the majority of swing faults are directly related to the basic GPA; grip posture and alignment. These are, by far, the easiest things to fix because they are the “static” part of the golf swing. Meaning you are standing still so all you need to do is go over your check list to make sure they are correct. In-swing changes are the “dynamic” part of the swing and take more time to change.

A good teaching professional will diagnose what the issues are, explain them to you in simple terms, and give you a few drills to help you improve.

Your job is to understand what she/he is trying to explain, and then replicate what the changes are on the practice tee. Remember, it takes on average 1500 repetitions to form a habit. If you have been doing something for years, you are not going to change it overnight.

Here is where your “sticktoitness” comes into play. Let’s say things have been going well on the range. You get to the course for your first round of the season and you’re pretty confident that the changes you have been working on are good to go.

First hole everything works great.

Second hole, you hit a 7 iron dead right into the woods. You reload; ball goes

I love words and every once in a while it’s difficult to find the perfect word to describe what you are trying to say. Stick-to-itiveness is a colloquial term that I found in a 1909 dictionary. It simply means Tee Time the quality that allows someone to continue Betsy trying to do something even though it is Larey difficult or unpleasant.

It’s been shortened in recent years to “sticktoitness.”

It’s been a tough start for high-school golf this spring, so I’ve tried to keep things simple. I asked the girls to write one or two things on an index card that help them the most. I laminated it and attached it to their bag so they had to see it. For several players, it was take-a-deep breath before I swing. Sometimes the easiest things to do have the most effect.

The goal was simple: commit to what’s on your card for every shot and every hole. Your score is not a goal. Your goal is committing to the things on your card. Easy Pease. Except it wasn’t for most of them.

High school players are really no different than other golfers, just younger.

When faced with adversity, most golfers will resort to what is familiar. Unfortunately, what is familiar is what has gotten you in to trouble in the first place.

So if you want to get better this year, the first thing you have to do is figure

Kaleb Siekmeier, Mahtomedi senior signed by the Gophers for track-and-field, placed third at the Hamline Elite Meet in both shot put (57-2) and discus (17611) last Friday. His season-bests are 58-4 and 179-11. Last year at state, Siekmeier was fifth in discus (161-11) and eighth in shot (564). The three-sport athlete also played for the 10-1 football team and 24-4 basketball team.

into the woods again. Did you take a practice swing and rehearse what you have been working on? Surprisingly, a lot of people don’t. Given the opportunity, the mind will always revert to what is familiar. The more stressing the situation, the more I can almost guarantee that will happen. My job as a golf coach is to give my players the best instruction I can, and encourage them to work on their mental strategies so they can increase their “sticktoitness” quotient.

If you want to improve this year, you need to determine one or two things that will have the most impact on your game.

Make time for practice and understand it takes time to have changes become

automatic. When you get on the course, don’t bail out on everything you’ve worked on. Commit to your plan and stick to it.

Former White Bear Mariner star among NHL alums suing league for brain injuries Jeff Parker played in a state championship game with White Bear Mariner in 1982, became one of three brothers to win national championships in college, and skated in the National Hockey League for five seasons.

But now Parker, 52, is among a group of over 100 former NHL players in a class-action lawsuit against the league over brain injuries suffered while playing.

“They are not looking for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Just health insurance,” Parker said about the group.

“If you’ve played the game and need a new knee or shoulder or if you’ve smashed your elbow, or if you’ve had concussions, it would be nice to be taken care of. You are only here a short time and you want to be able to enjoy life. It’s sad that they have not been able to settle. It’s just a matter of time.”

Parker is a bartender at Lonetti’s, a small neighborhood pub on Rice Street in St. Paul. He has worked there about a half-dozen years on day shift to avoid sunlight. Single, he lives in northeast Minneapolis. He collects a $366 monthly check from the NHL for his five years in the league.

Interviewed by KSTP TV on April 27, Parker commented that his ears ring constantly, that he needs to spend days in the dark, and that it hurts worse when he thinks about it so he tries not to.

Eyewitness News also talked to Minnesota natives Reed Larson (Red Wings) and Jack Carlson (North Stars).

Parker told the White Bear Press that despite what he’s going through now, he does not regret being a hockey player.

“Oh, absolutely not. Hockey was very important in my family. All three of us won national championships.”

Let that sink in. Scott Parker won an NCAA title with Wisconsin-Eau Claire (Division III) in 1984, Jeff won one with Michigan State in 1986, and John made it a Parker hat trick with an NCAA title with Wisconsin in 1990.

“My older brother has coached in Chippewa Falls for 30 years. He started the program. My younger brother still lives in Madison and has done a lot of coaching. They are still a lot more into hockey than I am now.”

Mariner made it all the way to the state fi nals in 1982, losing to Edina for the runner-up slot.

Parker recalls that Mariner had been “snakebitten” by Hlll-Murray in previous years but avoided the Pioneers that year and beat North St. Paul in the section fi nals. They were coached by Tom Simpson.

“We were really happy to be there,” said Parker, who had 14 goals and 14 assists for the season.

“We had a good enough team to win it, but we kinda got caught fl at footed against Edina.” He remembers that Mariner was upset by a lesser White Bear Lake team just before playoffs. “I still get a lot of grief from those guys for that,” said Parker, who also played soccer, golf and baseball.

Three years later, Parker played for a college team that fi nished the job. Michigan State skated into the Frozen Four in Providence, RI, where they beat his home-state Gophers 6-4 in the semifi nals and Harvard 6-5 in the championship game. Parker made the all-tournament team.

The Gophers, he recalls, had two of his boyhood friends from White Bear Lake, Brett Nelson and David Espe. “We played together growing up, but they were with White Bear Lake in high school,” Parker said.

The 6-foot-3, 194-pound right winger went pro after his junior year, having logged 33 goals and 45 assists in 127 games with Michigan State. He was a sixth-round draft pick by Buffalo, the 111th player chosen.

Parker had a goal and assist in his NHL debut, helping the Sabres tie Detroit. He played four seasons with Buffalo and one with Hartford, usually splitting time between the big club and a minor league team. He logged 16 goals and 19 assists in 141 games. The website hockeyfi ghts.com credited him with eight bouts during his career. He missed parts of various seasons with knee, fi nger and back injuries.

Back then he made up to $100,000 a year and had some great times. He spent part of his bonus money on a used Jaguar, and later bought a high-powered speedboat that could go 90 mph on the St. Croix River. “Now I still go on the river, but in a canoe,” he jokes. “Well, a rowboat.”

Parker’s troubles stem from two gruesome collisions 15 days apart in his fi fth and fi nal NHL season with Hartford. There had been other concussions along the way, mostly in college, at a time when jolts to the head were regarded as “just a little dinger, and you shake it off,” Parker said. Not so in the 1991 game when Parker was hammered by Washington’s 230-pound defenseman Kevin Hatcher.

His head struck the stanchion holding the glass to the boards, then struck the ice even harder, according to a City Pages article last summer on Minnesotans in the NHL lawsuit. His mind, he said, was fl ashing white while he was carted off, and he thought he still played for Buffalo.

He missed two weeks. In his fi rst game back, a routine check by a New Jersey defender brought back the white fl ashes in his head, and his appendages went numb.

That was his last game. When training camps started that August, he had constant headaches, problems balancing, and the sutures in his head going loose. “I’m done,” he told his younger brother.

Parker often can’t remember what he did 15 minutes ago, his equilibrium is “off all the time,” he needs to take careful steps while walking, and has a hard time with noise and bright light. His brother Scott remarked that without a doubt, Jeff is “a total CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) deal.”

The hockey players have the same attorneys the National Football League players used, he said.

Then again, the NFL is crawling in money and could throw out a billion dollar settlement just like that. The NHL is the least lucrative by far of the four major pro sports, and, probably not coinciden-

tally, far more reluctant to admit there’s a problem.

Commissioner Gary Bettman resorts to the claim the NFL made for years, before yielding, that the hockey-related concussions issue “isn’t scientifically proven,” and when the Canadian Medical Association assailed the NHL’s conclusion, a league spokesman shot back at the CMA’s “imbecilic rants.” Five NHL players (including former Wild enforcer Derek Bogaard) have died young with CTE issues discovered posthumously.

CTE was discovered by Dr. Bennet Omalu (portrayed by Will Smith in the 2015 movie “Concussion”) while conducting the autopsy on Mike Webster after the Pittsburgh Steelers’ great’s torturous death in 2002. CTE is a neurodegenerative brain disease that can be caused by repeated concussions or head trauma.

Parker enjoys a support group of sorts with other local NHL alums who give their time to such causes as Wounded Warriors, a wheelchair hockey league, and St. Paul youth hockey programs.

They get Minnesota Wild tickets and enjoy their own lounge at the “X” built by Brad Maxwell.

Parker has another significant health issue, a hole in his heart that became a problem in his 40s, for which he needs medication and a monitoring device. “Without modern medicine I wouldn’t be here,” he notes. Overall, he said, with a positive spin, “I hobble some days, and have the usual aches and pains, but I feel better than I look.”

“THE DINNER” (R) [DISTURBING VIOLENT CONTENT, AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT.]

— An offbeat, dark, unpredictable, star-dotted (Chloë Sevigny and Michael Chernus), two-hour film based on a Herman Koch’s bestselling 2009 novel and reminiscent of “The Carnage” in which a cynical, mentally unstable former high school history teacher (Steve Coogan) reluctantly goes to dinner with his wife (Laura Linney), his estranged U. S. Congressman brother (Richard Gere) who is running for governor, and his sister-inlaw (Rebecca Hall) at a fancy restaurant to discuss a family crisis involving his angry teenage son (Charlie Plummer) and his two nephews (Seamus DaveyFitzpatrick and Miles J. Harvey) who set fire to a homeless woman (Onika Day) sleeping in an ATM booth.

For much of April, we coasted through the month with unseasonable nice weather. Neighbors planted gardens, docks were put in area lakes and people were enjoying being outdoors. The last week of the month was not as nice as temperatures tumbled. I had a high of only 35° on Thursday, April 27, with snow coating the ground. Somehow the weather cooperated on Saturday and we salvaged one nice weekend day. For the month of April we finished about 3° warmer than normal and I totaled 3.4 inches of precipitation. Despite the cold, azaleas are blooming.

[BRIEF NUDITY AND SOME THEMATIC ELEMENTS.] [VOD]

— Striking cinematography dominates this languid-paced, factually based, loveit-or-hate-it, 128-minute, 2015 Werner Herzog biographical film that documents the extraordinary life of independent, feisty, influential English writer, poet, photographer, archaeologist, cartographer and political attaché Gertrude Bell (Nicole Kidman) as she leaves her wealthy parents (David Calder and Jenny Agutter) in England and travels throughout the dangerous, wartorn Middle East in the early 1900s with her trusted longtime friend and Arab guide Fattuh (Jay Abdo), her romance with British Colonel Henry Cadogan (James Franco) and her attraction to smitten and married Damascus General Consul Charles “Richard” DoughtyWylie (Damian Lewis), the highly unusual and unexpected friendship and respect she garners with powerful sheikhs (Assaad Bouab, Mohamed Bousalem, et al.), and her eventual work and collaboration with Sir Winston Churchill (Christopher Fulford) and T.E.

“UNFORGETTABLE” (R) [SEXUAL CONTENT, VIOLENCE, SOME LANGUAGE AND BRIEF PARTIAL NUDITY.] — When a successful online editor (Rosario Dawson) moves to California to marry a divorced brewery owner (Geoff Stults) who has a young daughter (Isabella Kai Rice) in this gripping, intense, wellpaced, 100-minute psychological thriller reminiscent of “Fatal Attraction,” she suddenly finds herself the target of her fiancée’s jealous, perfectionist, psychotic ex-wife (Katherine Heigl), who has an extremely controlling mother (Cheryl Ladd), when she concocts a dangerous scheme involving her abusive stalker (Simon Kassianides) to win back her husband.

Americorps tutors raise reading achievement

SARA MARIE MOORE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Karey Dufresne and Merry Gray are Americorps volunteers with the Minnesota Reading Corps.

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Two Reading Corps volunteers walk the halls at Matoska International Elementary School strategically pulling students from class for an extra reading boost.

Merry Gray and Karey Dufresne, both White Bear Lake residents, are literacy tutors who work with students in kindergarten through third grade to help them stay on top of their reading skills.

Gray has been tutoring younger students in letter sounds and older students in fluency for three years.

“It's great to work with the kids and see them grow and become more confident in what they can do,” she said.

They work with students who are just below grade level in literacy skills, Dufresne said. The goal is to give the students an extra boost until they grow out of the program.

Gray and Dufresne receive training from Reading Corps and work with

a school district coach and a Reading Corps coach throughout the school year.

Matoska intervention teacher Janel Van Arragon said the program allows more children to get help in reading. The students served are those who do not qualify for special education or Title I services.

Tutors work with school staff to determine which students to tutor, said Lizzie Morris, Reading Corps program pilots manager. Students are tutored 20 minutes a day, five days a week until they gain proficiency to exit the program. A fulltime tutor would typically tutor 15 to 20 students a week. The program also places preschool tutors who work directly in classrooms.

Due to the extensive training and coaching provided, Reading Corps hires volunteers from all walks of life and career backgrounds.

Reading Corps is a branch of Americorps, which is like a domestic version of the Peace Corps.

Full-time volunteers are given a biweekly stipend of $574, health in-

surance, child care assistance and a $5,815 education award if they fulfi ll their year of service. The education award can be used to pay off student loans or to pay for future studies, even for a child or grandchild.

Gray said she is currently studying elementary education at Augsburg College and plans to use her education awards toward her school debt. She works part-time with Reading Corps. So does Dufresne, who said she chose the program to get back into the workforce after raising children for 12 years.

Reading Corps began in Minnesota in 2003 and volunteers tutored 250 preschool children who were at risk of not reading proficiently by third grade. The program now assists 35,000 young Minnesota readers annually by placing over 1,700 tutors in schools each year.

In 2013, the program was evaluated by the University of Chicago using a randomized control trial and was found to be successful for students from all backgrounds. The program has helped 170,000 children

About 300 math tutors work throughout the state. Tutors work with two students at a time because the interaction helps students learn better, said Sam Lindberg, program manager.

White Bear Lake Area Schools is currently looking for nine literacy tutors and four math tutors for the 2017 to 2018 school year. Reading Corps began in the district in 2012 in one school and seven sites now have Reading Corps. Math Corps began in the district in 2013.

A kayaker explores the misty river with Diro Outdoors.

New outdoors venture launched

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

STILLWATER — During his 27-year corporate career, Stillwater resident Darren Dobier often found that young interns and employees would ask for his advice. He told them, “Do something that you’re passionate about and let the money follow.” But as the years went on, he realized that he wasn’t following his own advice.

“When I went off to college, I chose to follow the money rather than follow my passion,” he said. “That worked fine for 27 years, but I went through many bouts of midlife crisis … I kept saying, I’m not passionate about it, but I make enough money to do the things I’m passionate about. Every couple years it became harder to sell that to myself.”

Finally, last October, he left his job in the corporate world and launched a wilderness experience company with the help of his wife, Oie. Both of them are outdoors-focused, and had wanted to start their own business for years.

“We’ve always planned outdoor activities with friends and family; we’ll ask ‘Who wants to go kayaking?’ and then we’ll plan it all. We go about arranging it and we’ve always really enjoyed (taking) people out who have never done it before. The kids are nervous or scared, and by the end of the day they’ve completed changed, they’re relaxed, they’re laughing, and saying, ‘That was great, we want to do that next year!’”

Diro Outdoors has allowed Dobier to expand these experiences to anyone interested in the outdoors who may not have the time to plan an outing, obtain the equipment needed or find companions who are interested. He also wants to offer an outlet for young people to have an alternative to sedentary indoor activities, such as playing with electronics.

“I love doing stuff with kids and introducing them to new things,” he said.

“Everything you read says that people are getting outside less and less, and I’m worried the next generation is not going to realize the benefits of parks and wild places, and then in the future not protect them. It’s important to do my little part to introduce younger generation to the outdoors. I think it’s just good for people’s health.”

Dobier said his passion for helping youth developed when he participated in martial arts at a dojo in North St. Paul. Each year, the group participated in an initiative to end childhood obesity by going to local high schools and introducing martial arts techniques.

He described these volunteer events as a major highlight, and recalled those experience in planning activities for Diro Outdoors.

The business offers several options for outdoor activities — the first is a series of adventure activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fat tire biking,

Stand-up paddleboarding is one of many activities offered.

snowshoeing, guided tours, instruction classes and other social events, such as bonfires. Diro Outdoors will organize a time and place, and anyone can book a spot to join in and enjoy these activities alongside others. Simply pick the time and date that works best for you, and Diro Outdoors does all the planning, provides instructions and safety briefings and brings the equipment — all you have to do is show up. Some of these events also include options for local environmental stewardship efforts.

“People like to give back but they don’t know how they want to give back or they don’t have the time, so

we’re reaching out to places that need volunteer(s) … promoting events on our Facebook page and website to get as many volunteers possible. Hopefully, we’ll have more of those partnerships.”

Many of these activities take place at nearby Washington County or state parks, especially along the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Dobier said he is working hard to create a good relationship with these local natural areas.

The business also books private events, in the case that an organization or church group, for example, might want to plan an outdoor experience just

for them. Cupcakes are provided for private birthday parties. Diro Outdoors also has a number of smaller, childsized kayaks so that younger participants are more comfortable exploring paddling for the first time.

For those who want to do their own planning, the business rents gear.

If the event space is within 25 miles of Stillwater, Dobier will deliver the equipment and even set up a series of climbable tree tents, which are good for birthday parties.

“It’s kind of like an Ewok village,” Dobier said. “One is like a big hammock for three or four people suspended three or four feet above the ground, and above that is tree tent with a webbing ladder, so you can climb from one level to the next level. It’s like a portable tree house.”

Since it aims to improve wilderness accessibility, Diro Outdoors also works to keep costs at a minimum to participants.

“We try to keep it pretty low,” he said.

“Another thing that makes us different is that we’re not trying to go after the tourism market; we want folks who live here to realize, ‘Hey, I don’t have to travel four hours to see nature.’”

A kayaking or paddleboarding event usually costs $35 for two hours, and less for kids. Fat tire bikes can be rented for $40 per day. Diro Outdoors also owns specialized equipment for winter camping.

“One of the challenges with winter camping is that it’s expensive to get the stuff, and how often are you going to go winter camping? You’re probably not going to spend $500 on a sleeping bag to go camping once a year ...We have what’s called a hot tent, a 10x13 canvas-walled tent with a wood burning stove inside. Once the stove is going, you can sit inside in shirtsleeves and be toasty warm. We have that along with bunkable cots for four adults; one sits on top of the other. You can go and hang out if you have snowshoes, tour around during the day, keep the fire going all night, get nice and toasty before you go to sleep and when you wake up, you start it again. Then you just cook on top of the stove, because it gets red hot. It’s a fun way to introduce people to hibernating less and exploring more; that’s kind of our winter saying.”

However, Diro Outdoors is now looking forward to its first season of summer rentals and programming. Dobier said it has already partnered with the community education program in Maple Grove to offer youth activities this summer. Diro Outdoors will have an official ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Greater Stillwater Area Chamber of Commerce May 2. To learn more about Diro Outdoors, visit www.dirooutdoors. com.

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

Hill award given posthumously Fitting to his personality, George Hill led a life of service that was quiet, patient and kind. Equally fitting is the fact that George will be honored posthumously on May 23 at the reception for the J. Stanley and Doris Hill Legacy Award. George was the eldest child of Stan and Doris Hill.

Each year a recipient is selected who exemplifies the spirit of community service that was embodied by his parents.

This year, the nomination committee decided to honor two people, Bill Foussard and George Hill, who died in 2015.

(An announcement of Foussard's award appeared in the April 12 White Bear Press.)

Jennifer Polzin, of the Tubman Family Alliance where George served on the board and in many capacities, described George as “quietly outstanding,” going on to say, “if being visibly affiliated to a cause would help encourage others to participate, he was all in. But he did not seek recognition.”

In addition to his commitment to the Tubman Family Alliance (formerly the Family Violence Network and the

Doris & Stan Hill Home), George worked tirelessly as a tax preparer for seniors, a volunteer for Second Harvest Heartland Food Bank, a board member for Century College, an active member of the White Bear Lake Rotary and the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society and many other organizations where he could make a difference. Within each role, his ability to see the larger situation, particularly in the financial aspects, and provide his expertise and guidance was greatly valued.

George had a knack for being creative with opportunities and his enthusiasm was contagious.

As a lifelong sailor, no act of service was more dear to George than his duties as an Inland Lakes Yachting Association race officer and longtime member of that organization's service committee known as the “Bilge Pullers.”

He was able to share his love of sailing as captain for the Let's Go Fishing pontoon rides for seniors during the Monday evening A-Boat races on White Bear Lake where he provided expert commentary on the boats and their crews for his passengers.

The impact of George's service touched many diverse groups from seniors to school children, his neighbors, to sailors across the country. It is no surprise that the son of Stan and Doris Hill would be a most fitting recipient of their legacy.

Proposal to renovate skating center still upright

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — With a promise that the city will continue to explore a cost-share agreement with the hockey association, council members agreed to take the next step in a project to renovate the Sports Center.

At its meeting April 25, the City Council authorized staff to request proposals for project management services. A firm will be selected at the council's May 25 meeting if the decision is made to commit financially to the project.

As reported April 19, the city is considering a 50-50 cost split with the White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association to upgrade the 28-year-old Sports Center, including a new ice-making system, roof and energy efficiencies for a one-sheet rink. The cost is estimated at $3.8 million.

City Engineer Mark Burch said construction needs to start by April 1, 2018 to meet project timelines. “It's a tight calendar,” he noted. “The bid climate is still competitive so we want to get out there and get the right contractor. We would expect to award a bid late fall.”

The project would happen in three phases. Preliminary design would be finalized in July and if the decision is

made to proceed, the second and third phase would involve final engineering and then construction. That contract would be awarded in October.

Councilman Kevin Edberg supported issuance of a request for proposals but asked how the city guarantees its funding partner will meet its obligations.

“What legal tools do we have to secure their performance and protect ourselves and our constituents?” Edberg asked. City Attorney Roger Jensen said he would bring a report back to council in answer to the question.

“We need feedback,” urged Councilman Bill Walsh. “It's starting to get serious now. We need to hear from people on whether we should keep the rink working.”

Mayor Jo Emerson reminded residents that the city is looking at one sheet, “not this huge building.”

When asked if the arena can be designed to add a second sheet in the future, as desired by the hockey association, Burch replied “Yes. It will be designed to accommodate a second sheet. Considerations have to be given to handle the Zamboni between buildings and impacts to the locker rooms.”

Burch added that the city has been talking about renovating the Sports Center for 15 years. “This is the best layout we've had,” he told council.
