Restaurant owner works to lessen impact of backyard bus station BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Downtown in full bloom

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Upset that a downtown bus station would take precious parking spaces, the owners of Beartown Bar & Grill are working on a compromise with the powers that be. The corner of Seventh Street and Washington Avenue behind the restaurant was selected by the Rush Line Policy Advisory Committee as the preferred site for a downtown platform. It's the last stop along the 14-mile route from St. Paul before the bus turns around and heads back to Union Depot. There are five bus stops planned along the Highway 61 corridor in the Press coverage area: Buerkle Road, County Road E, Cedar Avenue, Whitaker Street and downtown. Beartown's Joe Claussen, who owns the restaurant with his mother, Sandra, said the original station proposal would be detrimental to his business. “We would lose up to 25 parking spots,” Claussen maintained. “Why would they do this to a business that has been a fixture in White Bear Lake for 20 years?” It wasn't just the parking that bugs Claussen. Tight quarters in that parking lot would make it tough to maneuver SEE STATION, PAGE 9A

Meal a day helps keep seniors in their home BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Between 11 a.m. and noon Monday through Friday, 170 area seniors receive a friendly knock on the door. It's their Meals on Wheels volunteer delivering a well-balanced lunch. The White Bear Lake Area Meals on Wheels is a community-based service that provides fresh, nutritious meals delivered directly to homes of seniors and individuals with disabilities throughout the area school district and nearby Mahtomedi neighborhoods. One of those seniors, Earline Lemon, has lived in White Bear Lake since she was 13. She loves the community, she loves her downtown apartment in Pi-

oneer Manor and she loves the meal service because it helps make it possible for her to live independently. “A lot of people need this service,” Lemon said. “Many seniors here don't drive. Some are in wheelchairs and not mobile. It's a blessing. I can stay in my apartment because I have food delivered. That's what it's all about. Helping people stay at home.” And the food is good, Lemon added. “You always get your basics, dessert and a beverage, and they have special diets for people with renal disease or diabetes.” Then there's the social connection. “People check on you — so you have someone who worries about you every day,” Lemon pointed out.

Old outboards and a vintage race boat are on exhibit in the Ol’ Tyme Marine Museum.

Outboard museum relocates

Restaurant opens at Hugo Legion

The Ol’ Tyme Marine Museum has relocated again. Owner and curator Bob Peterson wants people to know his collection of antique and racing outboards is open for viewing at White Bear Plumbing Inc., 1665 Ninth St. The plumbing shop, co-owned by Peterson’s son David, moved in January to a bigger building from its former location on First Street. They carved out a showroom area for the museum, which Peterson first opened in 2006 to keep interest alive for the old historic outboards “and put a smile on people’s faces.” Visitors are welcome during business hours. There is no charge.

The Post restaurant is now open in Hugo. Owned by Chris and Emily Salerno of Mounds View, the new restaurant will serve lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner from 4 to 9 p.m. (and breakfast on the weekends from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) at the Hugo American Legion Post 620, 5383 140th St. N. The couple is operating the business out of the banquet room nightly for dinner to provide families a quieter place to enjoy a meal. The Post, which will also offer boxed lunch specials to go, is closed Monday and Tuesday with no dinner service Sunday night.

Dealership shares the love Luther White Bear Subaru and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) teamed up for Subaru’s most recent Share the Love event to make a positive impact locally and globally. Subaru of America and White Bear Subaru presented $41,653 to their hometown charity, LLS Minnesota, during a celebration in the Vadnais Heights showroom April 29. From November 2018 to Jan. 3 of this year, $250 of any new Subaru bought or leased was donated to LLS. Society staff attended the check presentation alongside pediatric leukemia survivor, Lilli Graf, who accepted the donation on behalf of blood cancer patients.

The owners posted on social media that they are “going through a good transition” and felt it their duty to inform their customers that they are putting their focus on “a larger life picture” and the bar will be transitioning out. “Bloody Marys will be relocating hopefully sooner than later,” the post read, alluding to a spot in the tropics like Cancun, Mexico. According to Bloody Marys owner Art Welch, the bar will be under new ownership.

Snowbirds return

HERE ARE MANY signs that it’s spring in Minnesota. Cooler temperatures linger and snowbirds are making their way home from the south. May 15 is their due date, especially if they are golfers. Speaking of golf, I thought it was remarkable for Tiger Woods to take honors and another green jacket at the Master’s Tournament. Tiger won his first major tournament at the age of 21 at Augusta National. After 14 wins there, he had 11 years before another win this year. Jack Nicholas has won Augusta six times; Tiger now five times. When it comes to overall tournaments, Sam Snead leads with 82 and Tiger with 81. I’m sure breaking that record is his next goal. LAKES ARE ABOVE normal levels so that increases shoreline. For lakes that About the have been very low, it will kill off some of the tree saplings that have grown. Town Docks are being put in, windsurfers Gene Johnson are out, and so are sailboaters. Fishermen are out testing their equipment and hoping to put something in the frying pan as their welcome to spring. KATHY AND I spent some time in Florida this winter cruising in the Exumas, which are part of the Bahamas, east of Nassau. The waters are so clear and the sandy beaches are amazing. We did notice a difference over the last decade. There are more charter yachts than in previous years, about an equal number of sailboats, and fewer smaller yachts that occupy the waters. We enjoy the area from Highbourne to Farmer’s Cay, and depending on family and guests, we spend some time at Atlantis where the children can enjoy the massive water park. Boating involves a number of different situations. At sea, one needs to be mindful of the wind’s direction, wave height and the expected weather changes. A pessimist will often just complain about it. Optimists expect to change it, and a realist adjusts their sails. 2018 - THE WORD of the year was “misinformation.” This past winter I attended a Florida Gulf Coast University seminar on media literacy. It pointed out ways to evaluate information. For example, get evidence. Check the facts - do they hold up? Look for information you can verify - names, numbers, places, and documents. Then consider the source. Who produced this and can I trust them? Trace who has touched the story - authors, publishers, funders, aggregators, and social media users. Generally, people look to sources and information that they agree with. That does not give them both sides of the story. What we need today is more education on critical thinking. We need to learn the other person’s point of view. We need to look to new sources of information and, most of all, we need to respect the other person’s point of view. Then we need to think through why we believe what we do. MOTHER’S DAY IS May 12. Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. They held festivals in honor of their mother goddesses Raga and Cybele. In the United States, there are more phone calls made on Mother’s Day than on any other day of the year. The holiday chats with mom can cause phone traffic to spike as much as 37 percent. I don’t know how you will celebrate Mother’s Day. If you’re a father, you may want to spend some time with your children discussing it and then make mom feel special and appreciated. AS THE MINNESOTA legislature winds down, if you disagree with any of the bills or positions of your party, get in touch with your legislator this week. I’m troubled with the taxes proposed. In Minnesota’s climate it’s clear the roads take a beating. Think about how many potholes you hit last week. But as people move out of the metro area for lower cost housing, they find themselves driving more for their employment. The increase can prove to be a substantial burden for them. Government needs to live within its resources just like any business or household. It takes careful budgeting, accounting and accountability. Let them know your opinion.

May is Mental Health Month

t’s a time to learn about steps we can all take to improve our mental health and the mental health of our community. A major issue facing both teens and adults is stress. A little stress is fine – but a lot of stress, over a prolonged period of time, is detrimental to our mental health and physical health. When people experience too much stress, it can interfere with their sleep, Movers & they can have stomach or Shakers headaches, or be more prone Sue Abderholden to colds or viruses. It can lead to depression or anxiety. It’s like our defenses get worn down and it becomes difficult to fi ght off illnesses. There are simple steps we can take to reduce stress in our lives. The first is to recognize the signs that stress is having a negative impact. The second is to take steps to address it. Here are some actions you can take: • Meditate. Even short mindfulness sessions using an app through our phone for one to five minutes can help lower our stress levels.

• Take a walk. Short walks or exercising gets those endorphins moving in our brain. • Stay connected to others. The more we isolate when we are stressed the worse it gets. Calling or getting together with friends or family can lead to obtaining the support you need. • Limit screen time. Put limits on when you answer emails or look at social media. Comparing yourself to others (when no one puts up bad photos) can make you feel bad and less than. • Set reasonable goals. When we have unreasonable expectations for what we can get done in a day we add to our stress level. Make a list of what you need to do, circle the three most important tasks. You’ll feel more focused and have a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. • Eat nutritious foods. Eating junk food may taste good at the moment, but it won’t an hour later. Watching what you eat when you are stressed is important. • Practice self-care. When you are stressed you feel like you don’t have time for self-care but that’s when you need it the most. It might be gardening, walking around a lake, reading a book, dancing, listening to music. Make time

every week to do something that nourishes your soul. • Seek help. When stress becomes overwhelming and the symptoms of a mental illness begin to emerge seek out help. Many employers have Employee Assistance Programs that offer free calls with a therapist. Talk to your primary care physician about how you are feeling. Take an online depression screening to see how it is impacting you. What we know at National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Minnesota is that it’s important to identify and treat mental illnesses early to achieve the best outcomes. So work to reduce and manage your stress and reach out when it’s too overwhelming. During Mental Health Month, let’s focus on promoting good mental health. Sue Abderholden is executive director of NAMI Minnesota, a nonproﬁt organization working to improve the lives of children and adults with mental illnesses and their families through education, support and advocacy. NAMI Minnesota’s ofﬁce is located at 1919 University Ave., Suite 400, in St. Paul. For information about support groups or classes, call 651645-2948 or go to namimn.org.

7 tips for choosing a lawn company this spring

pril showers brought May flowers, and Better Business Bureau® of Minnesota and North Dakota is here to guide consumers who are looking to spruce up their yards by contracting lawn services. Because lawn care services are seasonal, remembering how to choose a reputable, fairly priced company can be tricky, and scammers masquerading as doorto-door service solicitors don’t make things any easier. When you set out to beautify your lawn, BBB wants you to keep these pointers in mind: Request a lawn inspection and cost estimate Companies that quote a price without actually seeing your lawn can’t be totally sure what your lawn needs.

Get more than one quote You should always shop around for the best value, and make sure all bids consider the same set of criteria. Ask for references and of previous work Movers & photos If the company has done landscaping Shakers work nearby, consider Better Business visiting the location Bureau to see their work for yourself. Don’t be afraid to contact and question references – they might tell you something a Google search didn’t. Get speciﬁc about pricing Make sure you’ve clarified in writing whether you’re paying

for a one-time project or ongoing maintenance and the amount and frequency of payments. Hash out other details, for instance: What happens if it rains the day someone is supposed to mow your lawn? Who bags the clippings? Is there an extra charge for that? Check for company insurance Does the company provide liability and workman’s compensation insurance to protect you if there’s an accident on the job? Clarify timing and safety precautions Will the work be done while you’re at home or away? If the company is applying pesticides to your lawn, do you need to do anything to protect your family or pets?

Get everything in writing To protect yourself as a consumer, make sure every part of your agreement is written down and contains all promises made and topics discussed. Look for guarantees and refund policies, and get copies of anything you sign, including receipts – and don’t lose them later. BBB wants consumers to Start With Trust® so you are equipped with tools to choose quality companies and have positive experiences in the marketplace. If that isn’t the case, visit bbb.org to fi le a complaint against a specific company or to report a scam. The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota can be contact at bbb.org or 651-699-1111, toll-free at 1-800-646-6222.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Secure our elections I totally agree with the letter writer who expressed dismay and frustration over the fact that Minnesota is the only state in the nation that does not have access to the $6.6 million in federal funds for election security. Minnesota was one of the states that was targeted by Russia to interfere in the 2016 election. We need that money to keep our state and nation secure. It is unconscionable that a small set of Republican state senators are acting to block the funding necessary to secure our elections. In fact, the three Republican Senators on the Conference Committee set up to negotiate the difference in the House and Senate election security funding bills did not even show up for the last two Conference Committee meetings. Make your voice heard. Contact Sen. Roger Chamberlain (651-296-1253) and urge him speak to his Caucus and demand that a bill to authorize access to the $6.6 million Help America Vote Act grant be passed immediately. You can also contact Majority Leader Paul Gazelka (651-2964875) and ask him to demonstrate leadership and recognize that the public no longer believes the Republican senators on the Election Committee are acting for the common good. This is not a party issue: all Americans need a secure voting system so all of our voices are heard. Shannon Moore White Bear Lake

Concerned about failure to safeguard students As a parent of five current Mahtomedi students at three of the four schools, I am very disappointed to hear that despite parent concerns and thorough research, very few safeguards have been implemented or enforced at any level in this district. This is a harmful policy in a wide variety of ways, and we continue to be deeply concerned about it, not least because of its mental health effects on a child we no longer have living with us as a result. I feel an increasing sense of anger and helplessness about the school’s failure in this area, and I cannot understand the continued demonstrated lack of interest in taking any meaningful steps to address it. As former private school parents, we were excited to move to this district because of its excellent reputation for caring about student development and devotion to best practices. I am increasingly persuaded that this is no longer the case, and that our children would have been best served in a different school environment where these devices are not allowed. The emerging research has been and continues to be clear, overwhelming and consistent that the use of these devices has strong correlation to lower academic achievement, poor mental and physical health, and lack of ability in social connections and skills, particularly among children and teens. Failure to act on this research is a matter, in my opinion, of academic and administrative malpractice, and completely indefensible. Mahtomedi Public Schools needs to act on this research now, as increasing numbers of quality schools (nationally and internationally) are doing, before it falls behind. Because I am a diligent parent and an informed educator, I will continue to prevent my children from owning or using these devices in any context. If the school would begin to support those well-researched

decisions by putting in place appropriate restrictions on cell phone use in the academic setting, my children would benefit in that environment as well. Until that happens, Mahtomedi Public Schools will continue to be the least healthy portion of my children’s day. Laura Lathrop Lake Elmo

Final year in school bittersweet emotion Our daughter Danna has received special education services through District 624 for the past 21 years. It is with a mix of emotion that we fi nish out Danna’s fi nal year in the school district at Transition Plus in Hugo and feel the need to pass on our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to this amazing school district, teachers, paraprofessionals, therapists, administration, bus drivers, aides and students. As parents of a child with special needs, the path can seem overwhelming at times. However, I can say that living in the White Bear Lake School District has been an enormous blessing to our family and especially our daughter. We have been humbled by the kindness and compassion shown to our daughter by all those working with her. We have been blessed by these people who came into our daughter’s life and found a way to make a difference. They cheered with us when she accomplished goals. They challenged her with games and made therapies fun. They brainstormed new ways to try to motivate her. They took classes and learned how to program her augmentative speaking device. They came with us to appointments to give input and guidance when we were purchasing new equipment. They let us know they were thinking about her when she was absent due to hospitalizations. They made school a place that she loved to be, they gave her a reason to thrive. In essence, every single person who has been part of Danna’s schooling over these past 21 years has touched her in some way, and thus touched us with their kindness and compassion. So often we hear about what is lacking in our schools; we wanted to point out what is right in this district. Not only are we humbled and grateful for all those that worked with Danna through the years, but we are grateful for the inclusive environment that was embraced throughout the district. We felt the impact of that inclusion countless times when our family has been out in the community, whether at Cup and Cone, the grocery store or Marketfest when someone who we didn’t know came up to Danna to say hello, to give her a hug or tell her they remembered her from school. I literally cannot tell you what that means to us as parents, to see their child embraced and loved by students who have met her through the years. So, parents, please know that your children have also made a difference to my daughter by their own kindness and compassion. With heartfelt thanks, Todd and Kari Anderson White Bear Township

We are safe with our lake name There is a controversy in Minneapolis about the name of Lake Calhoun. Should it remain Calhoun or be changed to Bde Maka Ska? Political correctness is all over this debate. The Dakota tribe wants their name for the lake, but who did

the Dakota displace to stake claim to the lake? Many other indigenous tribes laid claim to the lake before being displaced by the Dakota. There is a fair way to name the lake … let the people decide in a lake-naming contest. Citizens naming the lake panders to no one and offends no one … maybe. I will be the fi rst to submit an entry. Since there are fi sh in the lake that predate humans, I suggest combining the name of fi sh in the lake to come up with a name that offends no one. Bluegill, crappie, walleye and muskie inhabit the lake and could result in a rather catchy name: Blu Crap Wallskie Lake. Contracting the names of the fi sh gives it a unique sound. I know that some people will say that it is unfair to leave out the carp and the sucker, but the resulting contraction, Suck Blu Crap Lake, might be offensive to some people … and, remember, we don’t want to offend anyone. I think we are relatively safe up here with the name White Bear Lake. To date, I have not heard of any species of bear complaining about being slighted. This could change if the politicians feel that brown bears, black bears or Kodiaks feel offended. David E. Wolff White Bear Township

Show legislators you care about environment I know that White Bear Lake residents care deeply about their environment, because I saw hundreds of people show up to express concern, anger and outrage about Water Gremlin polluting our air with TCE. I now ask White Bear residents to consider the larger issue of environmental damage and climate change and to hold our representatives accountable to take action. Some politicians, such as Sen. Roger Chamberlain, are not even willing to admit that humans are a key cause of climate change. He, along with 35 other state senators, recently voted yes on an amendment that states, “The Legislature fi nds and declares that greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities are a contributing factor of climate change." The original amendment stated “… human activities are a key cause of climate change.” A slight change in phrase does matter. If Water Gremlin was only a contributing factor in TCE being released into the air, then how can we hold them accountable? If humans and fossil fuel companies have only been a contributing factor to climate change, then who is responsible for stopping the damage being done to our environment? We know that not every company has our best interests at heart. What about Sen. Chamberlain? Does he and the 35 other senators who voted yes on the above amendment have our best interests at heart? Please continue to show up to protect our environment. One way is by joining MN350 at its 100% Clean Energy Rally Day at 6 p.m. May 13 at the Capitol Rotunda to show your elected officials how much you care about our environment.

Detective explains why it’s often easier to solve the worst crimes BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — When White Bear Lake Police Detective Ryan George investigates the scene of a crime, he's looking for specific pieces of evidence — things that the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has the time to test. George must send the physical evidence he collects, such as blood, DNA swabs, fingerprints and items left at the scene, to be studied by a qualified forensic lab. There are only two in Minnesota. Police departments in the entire southern half of the state must transport evidence to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) lab in St. Paul. There's one other lab — located in Brainerd — for the northern half of the state. Once, George sent in a DNA swab for a felony auto theft case and it took a year to get the result. The BCA is a government agency on a limited budget, he noted. Police detectives only submit forensic evidence for felony-level crimes. Even at the felony level, property crimes like theft and burglary are often deemed low priority compared to all the evidence the BCA is investigating at any given time. “I would love to solve every crime I investigate and send in more forensic evidence, but I can't,” George told area business owners at the annual public safety business partnership meeting April 30. He often waits for months to get a response on a case he is investigating. Sometimes, charges cannot be made by the Ramsey County Attorney's Office until evidence is analyzed by the

BCA. George said suspects in his cases are sometimes charged with burglary two years after the incident. But there are other ways to solve crimes. George views surveillance videos from businesses to find suspects. He's been doing it so much that he can recognize habitual shoplifters in the area. When George has surveillance video from several businesses, he can sometimes link crimes. If a suspect's face is blurred in one and he can see it clearly in another, but the suspect has the same clothes and features, a crime can more easily be solved. Once, George traced a White Bear Lake women's stolen purse when the thief wrote a fraudulent check at a gas station in Brainerd. He obtained video from the gas station, which was very clear. It showed the vehicle's license plates. When investigators can't identify a suspect, they sometimes reach out to the community to help identify them, George said. The police department’s general investigators use a crime help blog, where they post photos of suspects. The department sometimes posts them on social media, said Sgt. John Vette. Suspects have been tagged by people who know them or have turned themselves in. “We solved a bank robbery within an hour off social media,” Vette said. Subsequent interviews with witnesses, victims and business owners are also important to investigative work and add pieces to the puzzle. “Ninety percent of the time we do not arrest a suspect at the scene,” George said. “We have to do follow-up work.”

Fire marshal plans to visit every business in city BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

SARA MARIE MOORE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

White Bear Lake Police Detective Ryan George speaks to business owners at the annual public safety business partnership meeting April 30.

George said that many major felonies in White Bear Lake are traced to nonresidents. People often travel to commit crimes so they can be more anonymous. “People in the Twin Cities area know that White Bear Lake is nice, and people have things,” Vette noted. He said criminals often take advantage of those that give them the opportunity to do so. A resident recently had two cell phones stolen because she didn't lock her car, as she didn't think she'd have to in White Bear Lake. Vette also encouraged business owners to be more wary of their possessions. He recently observed a businesswoman leave her purse and keys at her front desk while she was in the back room for an extended time. The police department also has a message for potential thieves: “If you are going to come steal in White Bear Lake, we are going to get you on camera,” Vette said.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The city's new fire marshal will be making visits to every business in the city over the next couple of years. Kurt Frison, who has been working for the city for six SARA MARIE MOORE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS months, told White Bear Lake Fire Mararea business shal Kurt Frison speaks owners at the to business owners at the annual public safety busiannual public safety business ness partnership meeting. partnership meeting April 30 that he wants to keep employers and employees safe. “I want to educate everybody on why things need to be a certain way,” he said. Frison said he will be showing up to businesses to discuss fire code requirements. If they are busy, business owners can schedule a time instead. “You will see me at some point,” he noted. It will take him one to two years to visit every business in the city. After that, he hopes to make a plan to inspect businesses on a regular schedule. The goal is to keep people safe and enable firefighters to suppress fires as quickly as possible. “I'm glad to be here and working with everyone,” Frison said. He was previously a firefighter in Vadnais Heights.

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

Birchwood • A Mahtomedi man, 49, was cited April 26 in the 400 block of Wildwood Avenue for failure to wear a seat belt. The motorist, who was just putting on the seat belt as he was pulled over, admitted to not wearing the belt while looking at a nearby house.

Dellwood • Three youths were rescued from their sunken boat on White Bear Lake near the 50 block of Peninsula Road at 10:22 p.m. April 25 after they had been in chilly water for at least 10 minutes. The boat reportedly capsized under strong winds and high waves. The juveniles advised Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies they would work on removing the boat the next day.

Grant • Mahtomedi Public Schools in the 8000 block of 75th Street N. April 25 reported some $12,000 in fraudulent credit card charges. All of the funds were recovered. • A Minneapolis man, 23, was cited April 28 in the 9000 block of Highway 36 for driving after suspension and failure to provide proof of insurance by deputies on routine patrol conducting random license plate checks of vehicles driving on the road. After being pulled over, the driver said he had been pulled over the previous night for driving after suspension. The motorist also said he had yet

to pay his reinstatement fee, and that was why he was still suspended.

Mahtomedi • A Mahtomedi man, 37, was arrested at 2:22 a.m. April 22 in the 500 block of Gosiwin Avenue on a Washington County Sheriff's Office warrant after deputies contacted the subject at a residence. • An Oakdale man, 70, was cited April 22 on southbound Century Avenue and Long Lake Road for passing on the shoulder after he went around a vehicle waiting to turn left into Century College East Campus. • A lost driver's license was reported April 22 in the 1000 block of Dunbar Way. Deputies advised the complainant to apply for a new license and to watch her financial accounts for suspicious activity. • Deputies reported finding three backpacks at the side of Long Lake Road at Ledgestone Drive April 23. Two of the backpacks contained clothes and makeup, but the third contained a bottle of Hennessy cognac. As there was nothing inside any of the backpacks to identify their owners, they were taken into evidence. • A report of suspicious behavior behind a home in the 900 block of Mahtomedi Avenue at 1:22 a.m. April 24 turned out to be the complainant as the one exhibiting suspicious behavior. After deputies cleared his home and didn't find anything, the complainant told them he had “gotten high on marijuana earlier and that it sometimes made him paranoid.”

• A North St. Paul man, 19, was cited at 1:49 a.m. April 24 in Katherine Abbott Park for possessing marijuana and paraphernalia in a motor vehicle after deputies conducting an area check of the park in the middle of the night found a vehicle occupied by four individuals. • A Grant man, 26, was cited April 26 in the 40 block of Birchwood Road for failure to wear a seat belt by deputies parked in the Finken Water Care business lot who observed the motorist's unused belt hanging by the door post. • A North St. Paul woman, 48, was cited April 26 on Century Avenue for texting and driving after deputies saw her waiting at the red light looking down at a cell phone in her hand. The driver admitted she had been texting. • A Stillwater woman, 39, was cited April 26 on southbound Hilton Trail and 70th Street for not wearing a seat belt. The driver, who admitted to not being belted in when she passed deputies, was wearing one when she was pulled over. The driver said she wasn't wearing the belt because she had just dropped off her daughter. • A juvenile passenger in the front seat of a vehicle stopped at a semaphore in the 800 block of Stillwater Road at 3:34 p.m. Friday, April 26, was cited for not wearing a seat belt after deputies, also waiting at the semaphore, observed him sticking his head and half his body out the window of the vehicle to yell at the juvenile occupants of another vehicle. The youth, who was also riding in a vehicle filled with juveniles, said he was just greeting his friends. • A 47-year-old River Falls, Wisconsin, man was cited April 26 in the 800 block

of Stillwater Road for texting while driving and for not wearing a seat belt while driving after deputies watched him waiting at the red light unbelted, looking down for an extended period, and using both hands to manipulate something. The driver told deputies he was texting his boss.

Pine Springs • A Brooklyn Center man, 26, was cited at 12:46 a.m. April 26 in the 6000 block of Hilton Trail N. for failure to drive with lights on from sunset to sunrise after deputies observed his vehicle with no taillights and very dim headlights. At the traffic stop, deputies observed the light switch was turned to “off.” • A 24-year-old Cortland, Illinois, woman was cited April 26 in the 7000 block of eastbound Highway 36 for speeding 76 mph in a 55 mph zone by deputies on stationary patrol who clocked her on radar.

Willernie • A Mahtomedi woman, 32, was cited April 26 in the 400 block of Stillwater Road for failure to wear a seat belt after northbound deputies at “The Triangle” saw the unused shoulder belt in her vehicle. The driver said she was moving her purse and thought the seat belt was on. She was also verbally warned about not providing any proof of insurance.

WASHINGTON COUNTY COURT BRIEF

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS

Making an appearance in Washington County Court April 10: Wanda Lee Peterson, 55, of Vadnais Heights. She is charged with felony second-degree drug possession, 25 grams or more of methamphetamine. Peterson was pulled over Dec. 24, 2018, by Woodbury police for driving erratically. Another motorist said she observed Peterson pull into a Walgreen's parking lot and start banging her head against the steering wheel. She also ran a red light. The caller provided make, model and license plate of the vehicle. The officer watched Peterson exit her car and enter the passenger seat of another vehicle. The driver claimed he was a friend. The officer observed that the defendant could not sit still, had abrupt jerking motions, glossy eyes and slurred speech. A red plastic straw was recovered from her person that contained a white powdery substance. Peterson was arrested and transported to Regions Hospital. Medical staff observed a plastic baggie taped to her inner thigh that contained two gloves filled with a white crystal-like substance and a baggie filed with marijuana. The white substance tested positive for 41 grams of methamphetamine. A toxicology report found the presence of amphetamine and methamphetamine in her bloodstream.

Red Door Renovations reimagines 100-year-old home BY SHANNON RILEY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

SUBMITTED

The property at 401 Wildwood Road in Mahtomedi was once a mink farm. The 1920 home has been lovingly restored and is for sale.

THE LOON PARENTS ARE MORE INTERESTED IN WHOOPING IT UP THAN LOCKING DOWN A NEST LOCATION. THEY ARE IN TOTAL COURTSHIP MODE AND ENJOYING ALL THE STOPS ALONG THE WAY.

APPY!

DON’T WORRY BE H

Flying planes and renovating homes are two of Tracy Belcher’s passions. Both endeavors require a well-calculated plan to limit risks. But starting Red Door Renovations LLC as a new business venture mid-career took less caution and more daring. A pilot can understand that. But unlike flying, there’s no map for launching a successful creative venture. So, Tracy started by following her heart — and her dad’s example. A commercial pilot as well, Belcher’s dad, Gary Wong, was always renovating or adding on to their family home on Orchard Lane in White Bear Lake where he and Tracy’s mom, Sandy, still reside. “When I was young,” Tracy recalls, “my dad was making improvements on our family home almost constantly.” Given her back story, it was no surprise when Tracy, along with her partner, Shawn Stegner (aka Red Door Renovations LLC) bought a unique old home to renovate and sell. Belcher has provided design consultation services for years. She flicks paint flakes from her jeans, saying, “This whole general contracting thing — from strategic design … to dealing with so many unexpected circumstances and weather and subcontractor scheduling — was new and stressful but rewarding, too. I really dig it. I love it!” Belcher and Stegner’s biggest project to date is a stately house at 401 Wildwood Road in Mahtomedi that took six months to renovate. The abundant leaded and stained-glass windows were lovingly restored so the light streaming through the spacious residence is extraordinary. The 2,600-square-foot home with four bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths was built in 1920. It sits high on a hill and presides over Lost Lake and the upward curve of Wildwood Road. The property is just under 3 acres and has a healthy grove of tall pines and stately oaks. The twinkling of the lake can be seen intermittently through the trees from the upstairs balcony.

If Houses Could Talk A forest green stucco exterior gives the structure a sturdy solidness. The deep tuck-under garage is almost invisible behind its clever earth-level door. But the real charm of the Mission Revival-style home is the reimagined and well-executed flow. Restored elements like doors, windows and hardware help it retain vestiges of its legacy.

Tracy Belcher and her partner Shawn Stegner spent six months on the project.

The home spoke to Belcher with its combination of classic old details and modern openness. “The past teaches us so much, but the thrill is complementing it with modern updates that make it as functional as possible for a family,” she noted. The home is new in so many ways with a fresh neutral palette, new appliances and fixtures, two new gas furnaces and energy-efficient windows. With a unique and varied history, the house played a role in the lives of many people … and mink. It was once the residence of the family that ran the Wildwood Mink Ranch in the 1950s and 1960s and it later served as a home for a family who fostered a number of children in the 1980s and 1990s. During renovation, a man stopped in to ask if he might visit the old basement room he shared with other boys when living in the foster home. He was stunned to see the transformation from a cramped space with bunkbeds and metal lockers to a bright, white-washed lower level. Every older home has idiosyncrasies, but Belcher has a special fondness for this home where she and Shawn discovered several sweet artifacts that they placed protectively under glass for the home’s next owners. They are offering this special home for sale: it's listed at $486,900, and hope to see a family move in and enjoy all its character and warmth. Tracy is already searching for another home that inspires a vision for its next life. Each of Belcher’s and Stegner’s children eagerly await the next project. Belcher said, “Their favorite part of the process is demolition day, of course!” The pilot in her can’t wait to take off on another Red Door renovation.

Loon chronicles IV: Don’t worry, be happy This was the week for Loon calls and courtship behaviors. We could hear the Loons from the shore at sunset almost every night this week, calling each other and whooping it up with abandon. It appears, like last year, that finding a nest location is not a high priority. Their behaviors are utterly hilarious, yet filled with purpose and ritual. The geese have moved on from Len’s nest in the War Zone. Right now, the nest is clean and vacant. We spotted the Loon pair head dipping, flirting, and diving near what remains of the two tiny islands in Ordway Bay, where they built their nest in 2012-2016. Len is making a trip up to Mantrap Lake this week, to pick up another Loon nest. We are considering placing it near the larger of the two islands, which is really nothing more than a small clump of tree tops. The good thing about this location is that many of the War Zone predators, including turtles, herons, muskrats, to name a few, do not venture out into Ordway Bay. The Eagles will not be able to keep an eye on this location from their comfortable perches on shore. This might be a good move, because the Eagles are all over White Bear Lake.

MEALS ON WHEELS: Program has goal to raise $10,000 by end of May FROM PAGE 1A

You could say Meals on Wheels found her when she needed it most. At a lonely time in her life, Lemon was sitting on her steps waiting for her mail. A Meals on Wheels volunteer asked her if she knew about the service. Did she want to try it? Yes, she did. That was more than 15 years ago. “The White Bear Area Senior Program has been with Earline through good days and bad: a move to a new apartment, her son's wedding, grandchildren and a kidney transplant,” said Tara Jebens-Singh, adult program coordinator for the White Bear Area Senior Center. “Along the way, our Elder Resource Specialists connected her to medical, dental, transportation, grocery and companion services.” Widowed in 2000 and not especially fond of cooking for one, Lemon looks forward to the noon ritual three to five times a week. Meals offer low-sugar, low-sodium options, as well as vegetarian. Hot meals are delivered Monday through Friday between 11 a.m. and noon. There is also weekly frozen meal delivery if it's more convenient, and meals are available on weekends or holidays. An added bonus once a month is Italian fare from Olive Garden. “Some people sign up just for that meal,” Lemon said. “Earline was keen to be an ambassador for Meals on Wheels,” Jebens-Singh said. “It has allowed her to stay in the community.

The cost is based on need. Meals may be authorized as part of Minnesota's home-and-community-based services Medicaid waiver program and other subsidy programs can also help cover the cost. White Bear Area Meals on Wheels has a sliding fee from $5.80-$8.90 based on self-reported monthly income.

The meals are prepared in the Senior Center's Normandy Park kitchen. The center is a place Lemon enjoys for exercise classes, lunches with Friends Who Care, dominos and cards. If anyone is looking for a 500 partner, by the way, Lemon is game. She summons the Metro Mobility van to get to the center and anywhere else she wants to go. The White Bear senior requires a cane or walker when out and about but uses the van's lift to avoid the steps. She would like other seniors to know that, too.

delivery trucks, as well. “It's a safety issue,” he said. “If we lose the back parking lot, trucks will have to back out onto Seventh Street.” Recent discussions with the city and county have led to a new confi guration for the platform (see accompanying diagrams). The restaurant owner fi gures the redesign salvages 15 parking spots. “It still takes land, but not as much as the original proposal,” Claussen noted. His third concern is parking for bus users. “This is not a park and ride. We worry that bus riders will use our parking lot,” Claussen said. “We will need signage everywhere and we'll be forced to tow cars, making us the bad guy.” Beartown's owners say they're grateful for the compromise; it addresses two of three concerns at least, including allowing delivery trucks to enter and exit in a safe manner. Rush Line project manager Andy Gitzlaff said the county wants to address Beartown's concerns. “We've evolved the design. It's still a work in progress but we're trying to avoid impacting his property as much as we can.” Claussen contends most people don't want the downtown station at all. He's one of them. “There are many issues with this location, and it seems as though the decision to implement this station is based on assumptions and hopefulness. Like many citizens, we feel the negatives outweigh the positives.” He encourages residents to talk to City Council members and Ramsey County officials and “do what you think is right.”

The original proposal shows a platform and driver facility (in yellow). The green is landscaping. The bus would travel in between the yellow.

Housing trends: Home values outpacing income BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Unlike neighborhoods built in the post-World War II housing boom, sites eyed for development in the next 20 years are taking motor vehicles out of the mix. The focus for housing locations will be on the person rather than the automobile, observed Anne Kane, the city’s community development director. The city's 2040 Comprehensive Plan specifies areas for potential development; most are located near Rush Line's bus rapid transit route expected in the next decade and/or multiuse trails. Per the Comprehensive Plan, the city anticipates 1,500 more residents and 1,200 more households between 2020 and 2040. Considering that many neighborhoods in southern and western White Bear Lake have a density of four units per acre, that would require 300 acres. “We simply don't have it,” Kane said. The city planner identified housing trends in the draft document that assessed existing stock, as well as future options that will meet the needs of residents at all life stages and income levels. Among the housing trends listed in the Comprehensive Plan: • Owner occupancy shifted from 73% in 2000 to 65% in 2016. • Most units the last 30 years have been single attached townhomes and multifamily units. In 2016, there were about 10,700 housing units in the city. Of those, 6,500 were single-family detached; 1,440 were single-family attached; and 2,800 were apartments/ condos. • Average household size decreased from four people per household in 1970 to 2.4 people in 2017, a 39% decrease. • In 1990, 31% of households were married with children in a single-family home. In 2017, 35% heads of household were living alone and 19% were married with children (see accompanying charts). • The number of residents who remain in the homes they occupied in ’79 or earlier is twice the national average. That is an indicator of stable, connected neighborhoods, Kane said. It's also an indicator that seniors are aging in place. • 19% of the population is 65 or older. The average is 13.5% for the metro. In White

METROPOLITAN COUNCIL, 2018 | SUBMITTED

These pie charts illustrate household composition over the last 30 years.

Bear, 60% of the population is 18-64 and 21% is under 18. • Housing units by year built: 94% of the city's houses were built before 2000; the metro average is 85%. “We've had less new housing options built in our community than throughout the metro,” Kane noted. “That's not surprising, since we are a historic community.” • Median sales price over the last five years increased 37% from $179,000 to $245,000. In the Twin Cities, the median sales price went from $192,000 to $265,000. “Interesting to note,” Kane added, “the median sales price of $245,000 is no longer in the affordable range for area median income. That starts at $234,000.” People who spend more than 30% of gross income on housing are considered “cost burdened,” Kane told City Council members April 23. In White Bear Lake, 29% of households are cost burdened. Rising rental rates have put the number of cost burdened renters at 53%. Average rent increased by 9.4% from 2017

to 2018, according to Kane. Market studies show White Bear has a 1% vacancy rate, which accounts for increased rental rates. Kane considers 5-7% a healthy vacancy rate. • Median income is $66,000 for all households in White Bear Lake; 21% earn less than $35,000 a year. “We have firefighters making $30,000; that puts them under 50% area median income,” Kane said. “Such incomes do not let people find safe, stable homes within our community. “A wonderful thing in White Bear Lake,” she added, (is) “we have opportunities like naturally occurring affordable housing, or NOAH. They are typically older homes on small lots that are affordable to modest income (80% area median income) households. These homes may not have amenities like granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, but they are comfortable and affordable.” Opportunities for new development are limited, as mentioned earlier. Kane said diversity of housing stock is needed to

meet the needs of changing demographics. To accommodate a projected growth of 1,200 households, key sites have been identified (See “Council gets refresher on sites singled out for development,” April 17). “But who knows if those will come to fruition?” she wondered. “We have been charged with providing housing for households with 30% area median income and lower. That will be challenging,” Kane said. “We can't do it at four houses per acre with today's construction and land costs.” Staff proposed hiring a consultant to help identify what housing options should be pursued based on demographics. A budgeted item, approval to hire a consultant will be added to the May 28 council agenda. Approval was also given to accept the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and authorize its distribution at affected jurisdictions for review. The draft plan can be found at whitebearlake.org under News and Events.

We welcome home the Boys and their comrades from the 151st, Philip Greengard, Henry Clewett, Frank Horton, Nicholas Becker, Edward Hughes, George Sivard and Thomas Bibeau. 200,000 greeted the boys as they marched in the streets of the Capitol City….

Mr. and Mrs. Quick have purchased the house on Shady Lane and moved to their new home this week…A son was born Saturday morning, April 29, to Mrs. Jerome LeVasseur (Oria Johnston). The baby’s father, Flight Officer LeVasseur is now in England and it may be some time before he gets the message of the arrival of Jerome Francis. The maternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. B. Johnston, Banning avenue, and Mr. and Mrs. P. J. LeVasseur, Bald Eagle Avenue are the paternal grandparents…

Bear tennis rallies to nip Mahtomedi White Bear Lake boys tennis pulled out a 4-3 win over Mahtomedi after losing the first three matches last week, while splitting two other matches. In a duel of next-door neighbors, both having good seasons, Mahtomedi (11-3) won at 2-3-4 singles for a 3-0 lead, after which the Bears (6-3) stormed back. Wins at 1-singles by Cooper Anderson, and 1-doubles by Bennett King/James Williams, were capped almost simultaneously. Soon after, Dan Holmes/Zach Gronsberg at 3-doubles knotted the score. That left it up to Cullen Johnson and Corey Steinhauser, who prevailed 6-2, 6-4 at 2-doubles, with Johnson holding serve to close it out. “Our captains brought the whole team over to cheer for them and they won the next three

Need balance, tempo and tension in golf swing Welcome to another golf season in Minnesota! I was hoping for warmer weather upon my return, but it is what it is so let’s make the best of it. I want to start this spring by discussing three elements of a good golf swing that are rarely mentioned, and those are balance, tempo and tension. So many people have become laser Tee focused on the mechanics of the golf swing they forget that these “Big Time Three” have as much impact on a golf shot as path and plane. Betsy Larey There’s three ways we access balance in our bodies; through our eyes, fluid in our ears and through proprioceptors (sensors) that send signals to the brain. Without going into scientific detail, these sensors are what provide the key to keeping us upright. Many are found in our feet. There’s a tremendous amount of new research in golf about how important the feet are to the golf swing. There are a few drills you can do to help make you more aware of what a balanced swing feels like. First, hit balls with your feet together. If you’ve never done it, start out slow with a short swing. Once you’ve mastered that, try it on one foot. Another great way to work on your balance is to swing with your eyes closed. I also like this because it’s a great way to find a good tempo for your swing. I will say most teachers will tell you your weight should be on the balls of your feet at address. But if your center of balance is more middle to back, I think you’re better off setting up where you are the most balanced.

Swing tempo gives each player the chance to create the proper sequence in the golf swing. Some players have a fast tempo (Tiger Woods) while others seem to be moving in slow motion (Matt Kuchar). I think each person has an innate swing speed that works best for them, but trying to find it can take some effort. In the perfect kinematic sequence, the lower body moves first, followed by your upper body, the arms and finally your hands. There are actually 14 things that fire in a specific order during the backswing, then the opposite order on the downswing. Have you ever felt out of sequence during your swing? Tempo also affects balance, so finding the right tempo is important for every golfer. When you are at the range, experiment with different tempos to see what works best. For fast swingers, you may find that dialing it back to 80% will give you a lot more accuracy. I’ll write in more detail about different swing tempos and how they affect your short game shots in a later column. The third element of the physical part of the golf swing is tension. I’ve written many times before there is no greater saboteur of the golf swing than tension. It can show up in many places, but the most common I’ve seen is in the jaw and in the hands. When it shows up in your hands your grip pressure gets tight and shots can go anywhere, because you can’t properly square up the clubface at impact. If you find tension creeping into your swing try putting a tee between your teeth. Also take a deep breath as you’re standing over the ball. That will force tension out of your shoulders and hands. At the end of the breath release that’s your key to start your swing.

To pretend that tension doesn’t exist or that you are immune to it is silly. Everyone experiences it at some point, including professionals. Everyone reacts differently to tension. Some players get quick with their swing, others are tentative to the point where it almost looks like they are trying to steer the club instead of swinging it. In other words, players feel pressured. So is pressure the same thing as tension? I think tension causes pressure. On the golf course, the skill that breaks down under pressure is more often than not the one that is the weakest part of your game. I see this happen many times. You can be a great driver of the ball, but if your chipping is the weakest part of your game you will probably chunk some shots around the green. When you’re in the comfort zone of the practice range, the flaws in your game are not so apparent. However, when you place your game under pressure, suddenly your weak link is exposed and likely be the skill that breaks down. Give these suggestions a try as you start your season this year. If there’s anything you’d like me to write about this year, please email your suggestions. I’m always looking for new ways to help the average golfer.

Senate acts on trichloroethylene emissions response account ST. PAUL — Bipartisan legislation passed unanimously off the Senate floor May 2 in response to the toxic release of trichloroethylene (TCE) at the Water Gremlin Company. This legislation, SF 2307, creates a new TCE emission response account in the Environmental Fund that will be used to address the effects of this exposure on communities affected by its release. “The TCE exposure that our communities went through led to a record-setting fine, and it’s of the utmost importance that these stakeholders and community members have a say in how the proceeds of this fine are used,” said Sen. Jason Isaacson (DFL-Shoreview), who was a co-author on both bills with Sens. Roger Chamberlain and Chuck Wiger. “This exposure never should have happened, but now we must make sure that

our response puts those affected first.” The account consists of the net proceeds of the civil penalty paid to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) as part of the settlement and earnings on the investment of money in the account. The money may be invested through the State Board of Investment. Money in the account may be spent to assess and address the effects of unlawful emissions of TCE in the “TCE area of concern.” The company is to pay a civil penalty of $4.5 million, and the TCE response account is expected to include approximately $2.2 million of this penalty. The MPCA commissioner must work with stakeholders to identify and recommend to the Legislature projects to receive funding from the TCE emission response

account. Stakeholder recommendations may include: • The broad purposes or projects for which money should be appropriated • The need for additional testing, investigations or research • Ways to improve communication between state and federal officials and local governments, citizens and businesses when hazardous chemicals are (or may be) leaked into a community • Policy or law changes that would facilitate a better response to future releases of hazardous chemicals The bill now awaits action in the House. Press release

Water Gremlin installs new pollution control equipment Water Gremlin informed the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on May 1 that new pollution control equipment designed to control emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including DCE, has been installed and is now running. The control technology uses carbon beads. VOC emissions from the (battery terminal) coating lines are vented through the control equipment, where the VOCs are captured by the carbon beads and are later condensed out as liquid. The liquid is then collected and can be recycled.

In other action, the school board: • Approved or denied employment status for employees next school year. The board approved eight employees that will continue to be on probationary status next school year. They terminated 10 employee probationary contracts. Two employees were put on unrequested leave of absence. The board approved continuing contract status for eight employees who were on probationary status. • Approved a resolution that counts snow days from Jan. 29-31 as instructional days that will not be made up. Minnesota law permits schools to do this as long as they pay contracted employees. Hourly workers were offered professional development opportunities for hours.

MAHTOMEDI SCHOOL DISTRICT — Mahtomedi Public Schools’ general fund budget spending has improved slightly this school year. District Director of Business Services Bill Menozzi provided a quarterly finance update at the Mahtomedi school board's April 25 meeting. The end of March was the end of the third quarter. “We are cautiously optimistic on the expenditure side because our expenditures year-to-date this year are slightly below where they were the prior year and the second prior year,” Menozzi said. The district has spent $24.5 million in the general fund as of the end of March, according to district documents. The budget is $40.1 million, so the percentage spent at the end of the third quarter was about 61 percent.

Last school year, the district had spent about 64 percent of its general fund budget by the end of the third quarter. During the 2016-2017 school year, the district had spent about 67 percent of the budget. Budget revisions have helped keep district spending on track. For example, the special education portion of the general budget was increased by about half a million this school year to align with spending needs, Menozzi noted. The district has food service and community services budgets separate from the general fund. “The food service budget is really tracking with the prior year,” Menozzi noted. As of the end of March, the district had spent about 55 percent of the $1.4 million budget. The percentage spent compared to last year this time of year, about 49 percent, is not of concern because of timing of billing, he added. The community services fund has spent about 64 percent of its $2.4 million budget, compared to about 73 percent at the end of third quarter
