Vintage custom cruiser heading home BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

When the story about the John O. Johnson cruiser, re-dubbed the Queen Mary, appeared in the White Bear Press last month, Jason Brown’s phone lit up. Brown owns White Bear Boat Works. His stepdad is Skip Johnson, John O. Johnson’s grandson. “You’d think someone landed on the moon, all the interest in that boat,” Brown said. One of the callers was Pete Sampair, a White Bear businessman who owns commercial property along the city’s waterfront. “He asked if I would help him get the boat back to the public on White Bear Lake,” Brown said. “I told him I would help orchestrate the deal but would not put a dime into the restoration.”

And so the process to return the 38-foot wooden cruiser to its roots began. Built at Johnson Boat Works in 1940, it should arrive end of the month or early June on a fl atbed truck. When the pair flew to Green Bay to see the boat, they didn’t know what to expect. “I knew the boat when I was 7 years old, I don’t know the boat now,” Brown said. “We went to see it to make sure whoever did get it would know it either had good bones left or not to waste their time.” Owned by Howard Nicholson of Port Washington, Wisconsin, and his son Robert, the boat has been in storage the last few years. Nicholson bought it in 1982 from Walter Johnson, who SUBMITTED

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — The White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association (WBLAHA) will not be able to expand to any more charitable gambling sites located within Vadnais Heights. Limiting organizations to two sites maximum in the future was one change the City Council unanimously approved in its city code regarding charitable gambling at a May 1 meeting. Councilman Terry Nyblom said he wants to ensure that nonprofit organizations that contribute back within the corporate limits of Vadnais Heights are not pushed out by organizations from other cities. “My concern for Vadnais Heights is if we continue to lose charitable dollars which support many things — city civic activities, things for seniors, youth and parks,” Nyblom said. If the city loses too much charitable gambling that goes directly back to city services, taxes would likely have to be increased or services downgraded, he said.

Ice out record: Same date but two hours, 25 minutes later BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Official Ice-out Lady Jan Holtz declared ice out on May 4 at 11:53 a.m. She made the announcement at Benny's Barber Shop downtown. “I don't think there's a more appropriate place,” Holtz said. The date tied the record, set in 1950. It did come almost 2.5 hours later, however. According to 1950 records, ice out was declared at 8:28 a.m. on May 4. Also worth noting, ice-out dates have been kept since 1928, so this year marks 91 years’ worth of record keeping. Holtz's predecessor, Benny Schmal-

zbauer, a White Bear barber, was the official record keeper until 1999 when he passed the duty to Holtz, along with a box full of papers. She accompanied the barber for six years to learn the routine before soloing in 2000. Schmalzbauer died in 2001. This is the third time ice out was declared in May since 1928. The other date was in 1965. The White Bear Press is among those Holtz calls every year when her scouting trip around the lake finds no ice. Also on her list: the barbershop, now owned by Earl Poyerd; a University of Buffalo professor who has requested freezing and thawing dates since 1999; radio personality and columnist Joe Soucheray; USGS researcher Perry Jones; the White Bear Lake

Conservation District, and now Tally's Dockside, which recently requested to be added to her contact list. “The wind was up to 20 mph with temps in the 70s, so I knew it would be today,” said Holtz, who called from Kay Beach in Birchwood. With binoculars in hand, she searched the lake for signs of ice in the bay but found no trace. She made the official announcement at 2:30 p.m. at the barber shop, and we were there.

Moms are remarkable OTHER’S DAY IS May 13 and they deserve a special salute. They are remarkable people who hold families together, teach children morals and work hard to keep families healthy. Besides that, they are key support people to their husbands and others. Many are in the workforce and have to manage time and responsibilities. They are highly efﬁcient with their duties and rarely seem to tire or complain. I am thankful for my mom and even my mothers-in-law. My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not About the your mother’s teaching. — Proverbs 6:20 Town All that I am, or hope to be, I Gene Johnson owe to my angel mother. — Abraham Lincoln

THE WALLEYE FISHING opener on May 12 is always an exciting time for Minnesota anglers and others who join our state. This year there will be some ice on the shore so you will have it to pack your fish and beer. I remember a number of years fishing on Lake Winnibigoshish and Leech Lake when we have had ice on the shore. Sometimes it was so cold we had to wear snowmobile suits. Now my preference when I take the boys walleye fishing is to go later in the year. IF YOU ARE looking for a job, there are hundreds of opportunities. The big issue for our country and Minnesota is the shortage of qualified labor. You can hardly fi nd a restaurant today where there isn’t a sign posted that they are now hiring. In our small newspaper group we have a number of job openings in sales, pressmen, news writing, graphic design, etc. In one location they were interviewing for a beginning position for web offset press work and thought they had a good candidate. When the potential employee heard the starting time, the response was, “I don’t get up that early.” I think the starting time was around 6 or 7 a.m. Some think it is the millennial culture. On the other hand, we have some wonderful millennial employees who are very passionate and dedicated to their work. Somehow I think entitlement has crept into our society far more than I would like. THE FOUR DISTINCT seasons we have in Minnesota, or for that matter the northern tier of our country, seem to prompt extraordinary amounts of energy, especially at spring time. People are anxious to be outdoors and especially this year with the late spring. I noticed the other day there were two fishing boats on White Bear Lake before the ice had even gone out. But spring prompts a lot of cleanup. Our city workers are cleaning streets, lawns are being raked, gutters cleaned and even attempts at cleaning the garage, which will prompt some garage sales. It seems to me that used furniture is very reasonable to buy and in many cases in excellent condition. Antiques seem to be losing value as well. Part of it is generational. Collectors like things they grew up with and that has taken us from toy trains to model airplanes to the electronic world and that is quickly obsolete. THE RECENTLY OPENED Hanifl Performing Arts Center in White Bear Lake is a wonderful addition to the community. Lakeshore Players, with 65 years of history in the community, will enjoy performing at this beautiful, attractive and acoustically designed theater. Kathy and I enjoyed our pre-blizzard evening on April 13. This raises and draws attention to the value of arts in our community. If you haven’t yet made a contribution to this facility, they still have a need to raise approximately $600,000. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

t is an exciting time for White Bear Lake Area Schools. Our district’s story continues to be written with the help of students, guardians, staff and community members through the Strategic Planning process, which was approved at the April 9 School Board meeting. During the 201718 school year, more than 200 volunteers came together to develop our beliefs, mission and objectives and landed Movers and on eight important strategies that will Shakers move us forward. Our beliefs have Wayne inspired us to create Kazmiercak the change we wish to see in the district and in the world. We believe: • Each person has innate value. • Service nurtures both community and self. • Everyone has the power to design their own future. • Respect for diversity is strength. • Integrity is fundamental to relationships. • Each person has unrealized potential. • Communities with shared goals have unlimited potential. • We are stewards of the earth. • Learning enriches one’s quality of life. • Everyone has a right to a safe and respectful environment. • Challenge leads to innovation and growth. • All people deserve unconditional love.

Our District Story Once beliefs were identiﬁed, the group created a new mission statement with district’s aspirations and purpose in mind: The mission of the White Bear Lake Area School District, the community at the forefront of educational excellence, honoring our legacy and courageously building the future, is to ensure each student realizes their unique talents and abilities, and makes meaningful contributions with local and global impact through a vital system distinguished by: • Students who design and create their own future • Diversity of people and ideas • Safe, nurturing and inspiring environments • Exceptional staff and families committed to student success • Abundant and engaged community partners With our beliefs and mission statement built, we next focused on the goals of our 5-year strategic plan: • 100% of students feel valued. • 100% of students accomplish their personalized learning plan. • 100% of students are prepared for and implement their design for their future. • 100% of students graduate. • 100% of students creatively adapt to an ever- changing world. • Each student meaningfully contributes to community. With our beliefs, mission and objectives in-hand, we landed on eight important strategies that will propel White Bear Lake Area Schools forward to a new level of success: • We will ensure that each student is the primary agent in their learning. • We will provide expanding access

to a broad range of opportunities for all students. • We will foster community engagement and partnerships. • We will build organizational capacity. • We will embrace all cultures with humility and respect. • We will ensure learning environments enhance students’ educational experience. • We will engage families as partners in the education of their children. • We will ensure the social and emotional growth of our students. The plans within the strategies will be built over the summer in district leadership meetings, with some changes happening as soon as this fall. Within these overall strategies lie many important pieces of the puzzle. Among the initiatives are building a school community that is responsive to all students and families, allowing members of all cultural groups to participate. Another is that of encouraging student agency, allowing students to have choice and flexibility. Inspiring environments that meet the needs of all learners, including collaborative and flexible spaces, are also an important part of our upcoming work. We look forward to continue working with our students, guardians, staff and community members as we write a story of educational excellence in the White Bear Lake Area School District, providing an environment that allows students to create their own fulfilling and meaningful futures. Dr. Wayne A. Kazmierczak is superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Policies needed to protect small businesses

National Small Business Week is a great time to remember the wonderful array of small businesses in our community. One of my favorites is Cobblestone Café, where my family grabs breakfast each weekend. Our small businesses are key to our community, not only providing jobs and economic opportunity, but helping bound together the White Bear Lake area’s unique civic identity. Unfortunately, while the current economic recovery has been a boon to Minnesota’s corporate giants, it has come at the expense of small businesses and entrepreneurs. In Minnesota, the recent financial crisis wiped out 6,400 businesses that employ fewer than 100 people. In 2014, the state still had 5,170 fewer small firms than before the recession, resulting in 35,000 fewer jobs at small businesses. This decline comes at a time when fewer startups are entering the economy, as the rate of new business formation has dropped by 30 percent since 2006. In the wake of this decline in competition, Minnesota’s largest companies have reaped the benefits as measures of corporate consolidation have been driven to record highs, boosting profits while dragging down wages. Minnesota’s monopolies threaten to rob our community of its unique assets, reduce our ability to chart our economic future and drive further inequality. While appeals to shop local are important, protecting our small businesses and the competition that drives capitalism will require policy changes. The state can reduce barriers to entry in certain industries by reforming regressive regulatory burdens that protect big business from competition, rework the focus of economic development programs to benefit small businesses instead of corporations with high-priced consultants, increase access to lending, and take preemptive action to keep regional markets from concentrating in the first place. Unlike big corporations, our main street businesses do not have armies of lobbyists to push their priorities in St. Paul. Instead, they must rely on their neighbors to recognize the struggles before them. Justin Stofferahn White Bear Township

Legislation antidemocratic

I am writing to call attention to Senate Bill 3325 and House Bill 3690 Prohibiting Ranked Choice Voting for virtually all Minnesota political subdivisions. This bill would deny virtually any Minnesota political subdivision to “adopt or enforce in any manner a rule, resolution or ordinance establishing ranked-choice voting as a method of voting, or any voting method similar to ranked-choice voting, for local office within the political subdivision.” This is an absolutely antidemocratic attempt to deny the most basic constitutional rights of the citizens of each and every political subdivision of the state. This is a choice that MUST be reserved to each local unit of government. Ranked-choice voting has proven to be effective and efficient in some political jurisdictions and those jurisdictions should be allowed and encouraged to continue with this enhancement to democracy. Other jurisdictions must be permitted to decide which electoral processes are most appropriate to their circumstances. I have sent this message to my representatives: Rep. Dean, District 38B, and Sen. Chamberlain, District 38. I would encourage others to also contact their representatives to defeat this antidemocratic legislation. Vern Ellingstad White Bear Lake

Question beneﬁt from fed tax plan

I have had serious doubts about the fed tax plan that was passed late last year. I see a very, very, short-term benefit for the middle class and the economy. The fed’s assumption was, with the tax cuts corporations were given they would increase production, create new products, expand their businesses and raise employees’ wages. With this “stimulus,” the feds said GDP growth would be 4-5 percent annually, thus paying for this huge cut in reduction in taxes and paying down the debt. We know about the negative feedback regarding this from economists and even Republicans. So, when the GDP fails to produce the 4 to 5 percent growth as projected, how will the federal government pay down

this huge debt and fund federal programs for the states? Here’s how I see it. The federal government will reduce funding to the states for infrastructure, roads, education, Medicare, along with raising the federal fuel tax, or forcing states to charge tolls on roadways. To cover the reduced funding from the feds, one can only assume the states and counties will be forced to increase taxes on things such as income, fuel, sales and property taxes, as well as general fees and the like. Also, let’s not forget the “raise” we will be getting is taxed as well. What about the fact interest rates are rising? Inflation is rising, health insurance continues to rise. What if there is a trade war, a huge market correction? With the above facts, and scenarios, I don’t see any positives for the middle class and the economy whatsoever. Is “The Fat Lady” warming up for a deeper recession? Mike Cherrier White Bear Lake

Potholes versus trail

After reading the article about how beneficial the "Lake Links" will be, makes me wonder how things are prioritized by the House Capital Committee? Anyone who's driven on South Shore Boulevard or Buerkle Road going east off Highway 61 would wonder how this would be a priority over fixing our roads? With potholes large enough to damage your car and drainage issues causing you to drive into the opposite lane to avoid them, it seems upside down. Let’s compare the number of people using the trail to the number of cars using the road and determine which improvement would serve the people of White Bear Lake the most? Every family has to prioritize its budget. Would you put a fountain in if you need a new roof? I'm sure there are other taxpayers who would like a vote. Lynne Kaufenberg White Bear Lake

Who is misleading whom?

In response to Robert Tufty's letter to the editor concerning hydro vac dumping (on 110th Street N. in Grant) that started in August 2017 (“Councilman inserting personal opinions,” April 18,

2018), I have the following response and corrections: • The activity of the grading permit was to be completed by Oct. 31, 2017, and it did not reveal it was to be used for the commercial discharge of hydro vac trucks; only for “digging a pond.” • A cease-and-desist order was issued by the attorney for the city of Grant on Sept. 26, 2017. There was no Minnesota Pollution Agency NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit as required by federal law or a Brown's Creek Watershed District permit. • On Dec. 4, 2017, the city issued a restoration order to have the site restored in five days, restoration that was not completed on time. • On Oct. 5, 2017, a police report was made to document the discharge of a hydro vac truck at 6:30 a.m. that violated the cease-and-desist order. • On Jan. 12, 2018, the MPCA issued a $3,450 administrative order for penalty by certified mail, which was signed by (environmental specialist) Nicholas Nistler; it also detailed a list of corrective actions that needed to be taken. • The Ofﬁce of Administrative Hearing (OAH) case OAH 80-0325-31917, Planning Commissioner Bob Tufty was adjudicated of making false statements in a political campaign, but a recent 8th Circuit Court of Appeals allows “false information in political campaign,” Care Committee vs. Arneson, 2014 LW4290372. So who is misleading? Documents have been provided to the White Bear Press to verify the aforementioned claims. Loren Sederstrom Grant City Council

We moved to Mahtomedi for the great school district. As our son graduates this year, we have reflected on our experience and can truly say it was one of the best opportunities we have given our children.

Vadnais Heights City Councilman convicted of restraining order violation BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — A City Councilman was convicted of violating a domestic abuse no-contact order (DANCO) last week. Terry Nyblom, 54, pled guilty to one misdemeanor count of violating a domestic abuse no-contact order April 30. State prosecutors had filed an amended complaint against Nyblom a week prior, adding two counts to the initial charge. Nyblom had allegedly called once and texted twice the woman that the restraining order protected, according to the complaint.

As part of a plea agreement, Nyblom pleaded guilty to one count and was convicted. He had pleaded not guilty in March. “I made contact with (name redacted) in violation of a DANCO in Terry Nyblom place at the time,” Nyblom stated in his guilty plea. As part of his plea agreement, he will be placed on a one-year probation with 90 days in jail stayed if he successfully completes the terms of his probation, according to court documents. He will be required to continue domestic abuse counseling and have a chemical use assessment.

The DANCO was related to an incident last spring when a woman alleged Nyblom interfered with a 911 call. He was charged with domestic assault, interfering with a 911 call and disorderly conduct. Nyblom denied the allegations and said the woman was not credible. As part of a plea agreement, the fi rst two charges were dropped and he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. A DANCO was in effect at the time of that incident, which Nyblom violated a week before his sentencing for disorderly conduct. He was sentenced to probation until February for that incident, with 90 days in jail stayed. Terms include

abiding by a one-year domestic abuse no-contact order and receiving domestic abuse counseling. The St. Paul city attorney's office notified Nyblom's lawyer last month that they may offer at the DANCO violation jury trial scheduled for April 30 evidence of Nyblom's history with the woman and conduct toward relatives or friends of the victim. The trial scheduled for last week was canceled since Nyblom pleaded guilty to one count of violating the DANCO as part of a plea agreement. His sentencing will be in June.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Ofﬁ ce reported the following incidents:

Vadnais Heights • Deputies are looking for a former Walmart cashier on a theft charge after she was found to have been short in her cash drawer following several work shifts to the tune of $1,200. A pickup and hold was issued for the 18-year-old St. Paul woman on April 22, but she has not been seen since. • Deputies responded to a request to investigate a Ford Explorer with a noticeable cloud of white smoke emanating from the interior along with the strong “odor of pot” the evening of April 26 in the 1000 block of Pondview Court. Occupants included an 18-year-old Red Wing man and three juveniles. The adult was cited for possession of a small amount of marijuana in a motor vehicle and the parents of the juveniles were contacted and asked to come and pick up their children. • The driver of a vehicle parked in the Walmart lot late on April 26 knew he was a dead duck when the squad car pulled up. A suspected domestic assault incident proved to be false but the driver, a 40-year-old out of Superior, Wisconsin, and on parole from that state’s prison system, was arrested on a charge of possession of stolen property after 10 cellphones, “a bag of jewelry,” and several Wisconsin license plates — not

related to the vehicle he was driving — were found inside. A 28-year-old female traveling companion with no identification was booked into jail until she could be identified. A dog on board was taken to the St. Paul Animal Control Center for a boarding period concurrent with the driver’s jail time. • A local woman was scammed out of $9,700 because of a “technical computer support phone scam” on April 30, but the loss would have been higher if her bank hadn’t intervened. The 69-year-old was victimized by a fast-talking salesman who convinced her to withdraw $9,700, purchase gift cards, and give him the numbers. Once you do that, your money is gone, but the scammer wasn’t through. He called again, saying the gift cards “wouldn’t work” and she needed to purchase another $9,700 worth. When the victim tried to comply, the teller at Bremer Bank recognized the scam and shut down the victim’s account. Eyebrow-raising terms used by the scammer were “Vipre” Systems and “Chowla” technical support. Residents are again reminded there is no legitimate reason for a gift card request. • A metal “blood pump” went missing April 30 from a repair service on International Drive. The 1,000-pound, 6-foot-long pump, used in turkey carcass processing, was valued at $18,000 when new. A small victory for the victims is the knowledge that the odor emanating

from the pump is “terrible,” one worker said. Scrappers are suspected. • A 24-year-old Minneapolis woman reported the theft of her purse May 1 following an overnight stay “in the area of English Street and County Road E.” The victim said she and a friend had spent the night at a residence with two men they had met at “some bar in Maplewood.” She only knew that one man went by the name “Jacob.” The purse contained $20 in cash and a college debit card which was used the next day to rack up $700 in charges. No suspects.

White Bear Township • Deputies are investigating an assault of a student by his older brother the morning of April 25 at White Bear Lake Area High School. No other details were released. • Deputies old enough to remember may have recalled the rock band “Three Dog Night” as they paid a visit to a residence in the 2500 block of Martin Way in response to a complaint concerning three dogs that were continually barking. The '70s group was known for its number one hit, “Joy to the World,” among other rock favorites. Upon the arrival of deputies, the canine trio decided to quiet down and was not heard from again that night.

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 • Two bicycles were reported lying at the side of the road with a pile of clothes by them at 3:35 a.m. April 29 on Cedar Street and Birchwood Avenue. Washington County Sheriff's deputies were unable to locate the bikes, the clothes or any unclad people in the area.

Dellwood • A gardener for a residence in the 80 block of Dellwood Avenue on April 29 reported finding a shattered door on the lake side of the property while the owners were out of town. No sign of entry was reported.

Grant • A resident in the 6000 block of Keats Avenue N. reported receiving calls on his cell phone April 24 from an unknown person requesting the complainant's personal banking information. The complainant wasn't sure whether the phone calls were legitimate until the caller started to become obnoxious.

Then the complainant became certain of the scam and refused to divulge any information. • A pile of clothing and shoes were reported on the Gateway Trail at Dellwood Road April 24. The pile was gone when deputies arrived on the scene, as were any people who may not have been wearing the clothing. • A White Bear Lake man was cited April 26 in the 8000 block of 75th Street N. for failure to display current registration. • A resident in the 9000 block of Joliet Avenue N. reported a damaged mailbox overnight April 26-27. There are no suspects. • A resident in the 9000 block of 75th Street N. was reported at 12:33 a.m. April 28 for stiffing the cabbie out of a $25 fare. The cabbie said his passenger was intoxicated and rude and became upset with the length of time it took the driver to get to his home. The parsimonious passenger agreed to pay the fare after the cabbie brought the deputies to his residence. • A Stillwater man, 36, was cited April 29 on Lake Elmo Avenue N. and 66th Street N. for speeding 69 mph in a 55 mph zone. • A report of a vehicle stolen April 29

from the parking lot at Cozzie's Tavern in the 11000 block of 60th Street N. turned out to be unfounded after it was located.

Mahtomedi • A motorist reported damage to a vehicle April 25 after it went into a large pothole on Birchwood Road and Lost Lake Court. The pothole was marked with a large safety cone, and the Mahtomedi Public Works Department was summoned. • Attempted phone scams were reported April 25 and 26 on Gosiwin Avenue and 60th Street N., respectively. • A resident in the 700 block of Grifﬁ n Court on April 26 reported her neighbors for trying to burglarize her house after she came home and found goldfi sh crackers inside her front door. The complainant suspected her neighbors as part of an ongoing feud, although deputies found no evidence that the neighbors were involved. • A Roseville man, 22, was cited at 12:19 a.m. April 27 on Century Avenue and Long Lake Road N. for driving without a valid driver's license and possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia in a motor vehicle after being pulled over

for running a stop sign. • A White Bear Lake man, 21, was cited at 12:44 a.m. April 27 on Century Avenue and Wildwood Road for driving after cancellation and failure to provide proof of insurance after deputies on patrol conducted a random computer check. • A Grant woman, 59, was cited April 27 on Stillwater Road and Warner Avenue for failing to stop at the stop sign and for brake light violation. • A Dellwood woman, 66, was cited April 27 on Century Avenue N. and Wildwood Road N. for failure to display current registration. • A St. Paul man, 38, was arrested at 2:13 a.m. April 29 in the 800 block of Stillwater Road for DWI and ﬂeeing on foot after being pulled over for driving without any lights. The additional list of offenses includes driving without a valid driver's license, driving after revocation, failure to provide proof of insurance and equipment violation.

County adds more sexual assault advocates BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — Ramsey County will allocate more funds toward supporting victims of sexual assault. Two new sexual assault advocates will be added to the Ramsey County Public Health Department to help support victims through the process of bringing their case to court, Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said at a recent press conference. The Ramsey County Board plans to allocate $225,000 to fund the new positions. The announcement was made in the wake of the release of a twoyear Ramsey County sexual assault systems review, which studied sexual assault cases as part of Ramsey County's “Start by Believing” campaign and sexual assault justice initiative launched in 2016. The study authored by Assistant County Attorney Kaarin Long reviewed

the ways the system could change to better support victims. The study found through research of victim services agencies and law enforcement that many victims drop out of the court process. “You will learn that victims oftentimes feel ashamed, embarrassed and might blame themselves,” Choi said. It is estimated about 20 percent of rapes are never reported. For the Ramsey County study, several law enforcement agencies in Ramsey County reported information from certain types of sexual assault cases from 2013-2016. The cases mostly involved victims age 13 or older with a suspect who was not a relative, but did include spouses. Six law enforcement agencies participated in the study, including the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. In total, 646 assaults were documented, 110 of which were from the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.

2 men charged in burglaries of White Bear, Vadnais Heights businesses BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Two suspects have been found and charged in connection with burglaries at Gold Liquors in Vadnais Heights and Keys Cafe in White Bear Lake last week. Jeffrey Joseph Krieger, Cory Jay Jeffrey Joseph Jeffrey 46, of Oakdale, and Cory Rosillo Krieger Jay Rosillo, 42, of Osceola, Wisconsin, were both charged with two incidents of second-degree possession of a burglary tool and third-degree burglary, according to court records. Both charges are felonies. Krieger and Rosillo allegedly burglarized Gold Liquors on County Road E in Vadnais Heights April 24. Krieger allegedly used a tool to pick a lock to a door behind an employees-only sign and Rosillo allegedly attempted to steal a cash register. The incident was caught on store surveillance video. It appears nothing was taken. Later in the day, they also allegedly burglarized an office at Keys Cafe on Fourth Street in downtown White Bear Lake. Rosillo is accused of stealing about $200 from a front cash register while employees were not nearby, as reportedly seen on surveillance video from the cafe. Krieger was apparently seen entering a back office with bolt cutters and allegedly cut two locks on a file cabinet and stole cash. At the time of the burglaries, Krieger was out on bail from a similar burglary in Steele County. Krieger has seven prior felony convictions and Rosillo has nine.

About two-thirds of sexual assault investigations performed by police agencies are never presented to the attorney's office for review, Choi said. Of the total 646 cases investigated in the study, about 11 percent of them were charged. The office charged 37 percent of cases presented and 73 percent received convictions. Every case that went to trial resulted in a conviction, Choi said. A substantial number of victims have difficulty staying connected to the investigation, Choi said. Causes could include long waiting times and a lack of support for victims to stay engaged in the process. The county hopes the new victim advocates will help more victims stay involved in the process. Funding of $287,000 is also being transferred from the county for two new sexual assault investigators in the St. Paul Police Department. “I know we can realize better out-

comes for victims of sexual assault and we will hold more perpetrators accountable,” Choi said. The county currently has five sexual assault advocates. Its numbers will now be seven, said Anne Barry, Saint Paul and Ramsey County public health director. The county's SOS sexual violence services offers a 24/7 crisis line. Volunteers help on nights and weekends. If you have experienced a sexual assault, call 651-266-1000. The countywide campaign has reached out to college campuses and city councils across Ramsey County over the last two years to promote its message of taking sexual assault reports seriously.

Student-led event raises funds to ﬁght trafficking

A fundraiser to fight human trafficking will be held at the Manitou Grill and Event Center in White Bear Lake from 6 to 8 p.m. May 20. The student-led trafficking awareness project led by Mounds View High School’s business management class aims to raise $10,000 to support Breaking Free, an organization that supports women who

have been victims of trafficking. Ticket cost is $45 for an individual, $280 for a table (8) and $160 for a half table (4). The event will include a dinner, keynote speakers, a silent auction and more. All profits will be donated to Breaking Free. Tickets are available for purchase via email request at MVBM. TAP@gmail.com or by calling 651-621-7296.

Sheriff’s office nabs 46 during distracted driving campaign

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office gave 46 citations for distracted driving during a statewide campaign last month. Statewide, law enforcement cited 1,576 people for texting and driving April 9-22. A 42-year-old man was cited at I-694 and Rice Street for playing poker on his phone while driving. Minnesota’s “No Texting” law makes it illegal for drivers to read, send texts and emails, and access the web while the vehicle is in motion or a part of traffic. That includes sitting at a stoplight or stop sign. Consequences are $50 plus court fees for a first offense and $275 plus court fees for a second and/or subsequent offense. If you injure or kill someone because of texting and driving, you can face a felony charge of criminal vehicular operation or homicide. Texting citations in Minnesota climbed nearly 23 percent from 2016 to 2017. Distracted driving contributes to 1 in 5 crashes in Minnesota and an average of 59 deaths and 223 serious injuries each year, based on statistics from 2012 – 2016.

QUEEN MARY: An LLC will take control of custom cruiser on White Bear Lake FROM PAGE 1A

inherited the cruiser from his father, John O. “I got goosebumps head to toe when I saw it,” recalled Brown. “It’s been almost 50 years since I was on the boat.” Far from pristine, he fi gures the cruiser will take six fi gures to restore and at least a year of work. Plans are to form a limited liability company, likely called Queen Mary LLC, that will own the boat and fundraise for its restoration. The boat will be used publicly somehow; Brown said those details are yet to be determined. They will be looking for volunteers with expertise in restoring old wooden boats and once the boat is here, “everyone in the world can come look at it.” Nicholson called the deal “a dream come true.” “The boat is coming back to the lake,” said the former Birchwood Village resident, who grew up admiring the white wooden craft. “I’m really happy for the boat and for the people on White Bear Lake who enjoyed it before,” Nicholson said. “It’s a win-win all around. It couldn’t have turned out better.” Brown agreed, “Everyone remembers the boat when they were kids. There was a lot of discussion with people who had the same vision to get it rehabbed. The number of people who reached out to us is staggering.”

The cruiser, originally called the JoanII, was built in 1940 at Johnson Boat Works in White Bear Lake. It was purchased in 1982 from a Johnson family member by Howard Nicholson, who eventually moved the boat to Wisconsin.

GAMBLING: Merrick, WBLAHA among top 3 charitable gambling organizations in state FROM PAGE 1A

A couple years ago, the Vadnais Heights Fire Relief Association’s charitable gambling operation was replaced in Jimmy’s Food and Drink by WBLAHA, according to Press archives. The fi re relief association is still located in Mad Jacks Sports Cafe. The establishment decides which organization it would like to host for charitable gambling. WBLAHA and Merrick both have charitable gambling operations located in two bars in Vadnais Heights. The Vadnais Heights Lions’ operations are located in the Vadnais Inn, which is expected to be bulldozed for the roundabouts to be constructed at the intersection of the new Rice Street bridge. According to state law, cities cannot limit organizations located in neighboring cities from having charitable

gambling within their city limits. However, cities can require that organizations located in neighboring cities spend 100 percent of their gambling proceeds within the city’s trade area, according to research done by City Attorney Caroline Bell Beckman. The council added that requirement to its code. The trade area is any city that borders Vadnais Heights. Representatives and attorneys from both Jimmy’s and WBLAHA were at the council meeting. Lawyers both said they were not opposed to the or-

dinance as it stood proposed — they had come to express concern if the number had been lowered to one site per organization during the discussion. But that didn’t happen. WBLAHA has pledged up to $2 million to renovate the old White Bear Sports Center in a 50-50 agreement with the city of White Bear Lake, according to Press archives. The estimated cost of the proposed renovation is now over $5 million. WBLAHA was the third-highest-grossing organization in the

state in fi scal year 2017 for charitable gambling, according to the State of Minnesota Gambling Control Board’s 2017 annual report. It grossed $16.8 million, doled out $14.2 million in prizes and netted $2.5 million for its causes. Merrick, which also has charitable gambling at two sites in Vadnais Heights, was the largest grossing organization in the state. In 2017, it grossed $25.1 million, doled out $21.4 million and netted $3.7 million. Merrick, a nonprofit that provides jobs to the disabled, is located in Vadnais Heights. Under statute, cities are allowed to receive 10 percent of net profits from charitable gambling located within its city, to be used for its own charitable causes or public safety purposes. Vadnais Heights collected about $23,500 in 2017.

Annual St. Croix Valley pottery tour this weekend The 26th Annual St. Croix Valley Pottery Tour and Sale will welcome visitors to seven pottery studios May 11-13. Each studio/pottery is just a short drive from the others allowing some or all to be visited in a single day. This springtime, the self-guided tour is anticipated by all who enjoy handmade pottery. It is nationally recognized as a gathering of exceptional potters. Always held on Mothers' Day weekend, "The Tour" is an opportunity to enjoy the hospitality of local potters in their rural studios. This year, you can meet 54 accomplished guest potters from around the nation who have each been invited by their host potter especially for this weekend event. Begun in 1993 as an outgrowth of potters' individual studio sales, “The Tour” is hosted by eight of Minnesota’s career studio pottery professionals. They take pride in maintaining its welcoming "open house" hospitality at their various studios. The event has grown to be a once-a-year opportunity to lay your hands on thousands of pots and to meet and talk with a total of 62 potters. This friendly, face-to-face connection between makers and users of pottery has proven satisfying to visitors and potters alike. The seven host pottery sites are: Linda Christianson's unique studio and log home nestled in a clearing in the woods, Will Swanson and Janel Jacobson's studio close by Wild River State Park, Guillermo Cuellar's hilltop home and studio overlooking the St. Croix River, Richard Vincent's oak-shaded backyard studio, Jeff Oestreich's early Minnesota farmstead remade into home and studio, Ani Kasten's pottery galleryin-a-barn (formerly Connee Mayeron’s), and Matt Krousey's picturesque, woodland home and studio. "The Tour" has earned a reputation as a source of high-quality, functional pottery and an intriguing array of distinctive, ceramic expression. This year the

Ship duty like ‘fountain of youth’ for former Naval officer BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Everyone knows it’s a small world. One more example of that oft-stated observation came via email from Paul Ackerman, a Navy veteran who moved to White Bear Lake in 1960. While visiting the USS Hornet Museum near San Francisco in March, another White Bear Lake resident, Steve Strusinski, was surprised to fi nd Ackerman leading his tour of the famous World War II aircraft carrier. “This guy from White Bear shows up on the Hornet,” Ackerman recalled. “He knew Gene (Johnson, publisher emeritus of the White Bear Press). It’s such a small world.” Ackerman served on a sister carrier in the Pacific back in the ‘50s and has been a docent (a French word for tour guide) on the Hornet for the past 15 years. The ship is located at the former Naval Air Station in Alameda, about a mile from Paul and Val Ackerman’s winter residence. Every week, a visitor from Minnesota comes aboard, and Ackerman is quick to volunteer as the guide. “It gives me a chance to catch up on weather reports and we talk Minnesotan,” he said. Well versed in carrier history, the 83-year-old former Naval offi cer said serving as a docent on the Hornet is like drinking from the fountain of youth. “When I go back on the ship, I go back 60 years to when I was a 23-year-old naval offi cer sailing the seven seas,” Ackerman said. “I can immediately slip back there; it’s a magical sort of thing.” He loves to educate visitors about the Hornet’s storied past. The ship commemorated the 76th anniversary of the historic Doolittle raid in April in which 16 Army Air Corps B-25 bombers were launched from its deck to bomb Japan in retaliation for the attack on Pearl Harbor. That Hornet was sunk off Guadalcanal by a Japanese torpedo in 1942 and replaced by the current ship. “The WWII carrier left from the exact same pier, so it had its origins in Alameda,” Ackerman said. “It was a heroic story.” The Hornet fought in 59 battles in WWII. It was also used to recover the Apollo 11 astronauts following their first moon landing in 1969. The ship was “mothballed” in 1970 and destined for scrap when it got a reprieve. Asbestos was discovered and dealing with the health hazard proved too expensive, so the Navy turned it into a museum, one of only four carrier museums in the country. A twist of fate brought Ackerman and wife Val back to Alameda decades later when their three daughters all moved to San Francisco. The couple met in San Diego when he was serving on the USS Kearsarge in 1957. She was a Canadian nurse looking for adventure, as Ackerman tells it. “It was a blind date on the beach and there’s more romance to that than you can believe.” In the course of their courtship they went up to Alameda and went dancing at the officers’ club. Long story short, each knew they had “picked a winner,” and the romance blossomed. They married in 1958 and are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary in September. Val and Paul bought a townhouse in Alameda to be close to their grandchildren, all of whom have earned an honorary sailor certifi cate on the Hornet. The Ackermans spend summers in their stately home

The couple are well traveled; both became fluent in Italian after living in the country for eight years for 3M. They keep a list of countries they’ve visited — 133 so far and all seven continents — and create memory books to record their adventures. Ackerman wants to add the battlegrounds of the South Pacific to that travel list one of these days. In the meantime, the former sailor will continue to guide visitors on the USS Hornet and share its story. “I think it’s important for kids to learn this history,” he said. “People made sacrifices that result in the life they’re living today.”

Deceased male found in White Bear grocery store parking lot BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A 19-year-old man was found dead by apparent suicide caused by chemical inhalation in a Cub Foods parking lot near the intersection of White Bear Avenue and I-694 about 8:30 a.m. May 1. The parking lot was taped off while hazmat workers investigated the scene. Found inside a vehicle was hydrogen sulfide gas, said White Bear Lake Fire Chief Greg Peterson. Responders believe the young man died from a chemical reaction he created inside the car, although the cause is still under investigation. “He had been missing for two days,” Peterson said. The young man was found by family

members, said White Bear Lake Police Capt. Dale Hager. Another law enforcement agency had put out an alert about a missing man who was potentially dangerous to himself. Both Peterson and Hager said they did not know where he was from. It is not known how long the man had been dead inside the vehicle, Hager said. A medical examiner will help determine the time of death and official cause. “We don't believe there is any foul play,” Hager said. Hydrogen sulfide gas has been reported to have been used in suicides in both the U.S. and Japan, according to an online search. It creates a dangerous situation for public safety personnel, who are at risk of inhaling lethal levels of the gas.

Loon Chronicles III: Ready to come home While waiting for White Bear Lake to open up enough to welcome the return of our Loons, I have been looking for Loons near and far. Earlier this week, I received a tip that 14 Loons were spotted on Como Lake in St. Paul. My mother and I checked it out and counted no less than 33 Loons and scores of migratory ducks including Buffleheads, Canvasbacks, Goldeneyes, Grebes, and Mergansers. An amazing display of harmony and activity. I struck up a conversation with a woman who has been walking around Como for years. She had never seen more than a few Loons on Como and they never stayed past April. Yesterday, I followed up on another tip and walked up and down Lake Avenue on the north side of White Bear Lake. I am happy to report that I spotted one very healthy Loon that, unfortunately, was out of camera range. The good news is that its mate will soon follow and once we get our boat in, we can share the adventures of the next Loon family on White Bear Lake. Stay tuned.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Goal of downtown apparel store to evoke emotion among Minnesotans

The goal of Corey Roberts’ new venture is to build a brand that captures the rich traditions ingrained in Minnesota culture. He hopes to bring to life “memories and emotions from the past” through apparel and goods in the downtown store he named The Minnesotan. Roberts is part of the family that owns a funeral home, floral shop and Big Apple Bagel in Forest Lake. His father Mick grew up on Division Avenue in White Bear Lake where Corey’s grandparents owned a hobby farm. He left the family business last year, purchased a building on Fourth Street — the former Special Effects salon — and is renovating the space for his apparel store. The back of the building is leased to The Hair Bar, where Corey’s wife Jamie is a hairdresser. Both graduated from Forest Lake High School. The apparel will be what Roberts calls “lifestyle clothing” with zips, hoodies, T-shirts and leggings. There will accessories like sunglasses and caps. “Our brand will be about the soul,” Roberts said. “We will celebrate landmarks and capture niche moments in time.” Developing the brand has taken time, added Roberts, who wants everything to be perfect when he opens the doors in late June. “We want to foster a personalized social and wearable experience in which the

brand finds your Minnesota values, memories, inspiration and belonging,” Roberts said. “It’s about finding you.” He’d been looking for a spot downtown since 2015. “We are a heritage brand, so what better shopping corridor than downtown White Bear Lake?” Roberts recalled. About two-thirds of the collection at The Minnesotan will be its own brand and a third from other upstart brands. Samples of his designs are displayed in the storefront window at 2186 Fourth St. There’s a T-shirt that commemorates the USS Gertrude, a cruise raft launched in 1952 on Bald Eagle Lake. Dubbed the original party boat, it was the precursor to the pontoon boat. Roberts reached out to family members of its inventor, Walter Tuchfarber, who gave permission to use

the image. There’s a hat to match. He’s also designed a shirt for the 617 and he sold Mariner High School shirts last year at Marketfest that proved popular. “We did a Mariner hockey jersey, too. People walking by did a double take. It stopped them in their tracks.”

Pharmacy closes on corridor corner

White Bear Health Mart Pharmacy closed its doors May 9. Owner and pharmacist Joe Jorgenson said the pharmacy business isn’t what it used to be. Insurance reimbursements for drugs are half what they were seven years ago when he opened his store at 2008 E. County Road E. “Insurance pays less and drugs are way more expensive, which is a bad combination,” Jorgenson said. “A $100 transaction used to net $10 for the pharmacy and $10

for the insurance company. Now we get $2 and insurance gets $18.” He added that running a small business in Minnesota isn’t easy either, and feels reform is needed from lawmakers. “The state makes more money on the insulin we sell than we do. There isn’t the money in it anymore. We are 50 percent of where we were seven years ago. The math doesn’t work.” Although there is another open corner in town, Jorgenson said it’s been a great location and expects it not to be vacant long. He’s not sure his next step but it will take time to finish paperwork and “clean up loose ends,” Jorgenson said. He won’t miss the 70-hour work weeks.

The delay comes after several weeks of clashes between city staff and residents who do not agree with the proposed street plan originally planned. “We would have dirt roads throughout the city if we only listened and did what residents wanted us to.” Councilmember Ernie McCarty… The project includes reconstruction of the 90 year old street,

which is located just east of downtown White Bear Lake. Also included is construction of storm sewers and a sidewalk and improvements to the water main and sanitary sewer system… Looking Forward to the Past Upcoming Historical Society Events “Save Your Stones” Gravestone Preservation Workshop Friday, May 18 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Mueller Memorial-White Bear Lake

Arts center seeks city approval for second parking lot WHITE BEAR LAKE — Ever notice the line of cars parked along the shoulder of Long Avenue when there's an event at White Bear Center for the Arts? A plan is in the works to alleviate that problem. The White Bear Center for the Arts (WBCA) has a purchase agreement for residential property directly behind its building to expand its parking lot, adding 53 spaces. The 1-acre parcel at 4962 Division Ave. has a house, built in 1896, that will be razed, and mature trees, some of which will be removed. The city's planning and zoning coordinator, Samantha Crosby, told the Planning Commission April 30 that membership and enrollment has grown faster than

anticipated, so the arts center is requesting a conditional use permit to allow nonresidential uses in residential zoning districts. WBCA is proposing a lot with a pedestrian connection between the center and Division Avenue. The parking lot will not provide access to Division Avenue, nor will vehicular traffic increase along Division Avenue due to the parking lot. What may increase is pedestrian traffic between the high school and the center and between the middle school and the center. WBCA is willing to share the proposed parking with the Hanifl Performing Arts Center and will have a walking path to their neighbor's door. Code requires screening from abutting residential

uses in the form of a 6-foot-tall wooden fence. Also proposed are four, 16-foot-tall double arm light poles down a center island and lower profile bollards near the walking path. Lighting would be turned off within an hour after the center closes. Mature trees on the site will be preserved if possible, but preservation will be a challenge since some are in the middle of the lot. The Planning Commission had one condition to its approval: that the center rope off access between the two lots after close of business. Final approval will be made by the City Council.

Too late to trim oak trees

The city of Mahtomedi reminds residents not to prune oak trees any time during the growing season from April 1 to Oct. 1. If limbs are trimmed, wounds should be covered immediately with latex house paint to prevent insect transmission of the oak wilt fungus. The period between April 1 and July 1 is especially high risk for oak wilt transmission. The best time to prune is between Oct. 15 and March 15.

Parker’s brain trauma revealed to be ‘worse than we thought’ BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The brain disease known as CTE was not discussed by the late Jeff Parker, at least not with his family. However, when more became known about Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a condition leading to the suffering and early demise of many pro football and hockey players, Parker’s younger brothers Scott and John took notice. “Jeff never talked about CTE with us, but I’m sure he did with other people, when he joined the lawsuit,” said John, referring to action by former players against the National Hockey League. “But my brother Scott started looking into it, and he said one day, ‘You know, I betcha Jeff has this.’ And when Jeff passed, they called and told us the CTE Foundation wanted to talk to us about donating Jeff’s brain.” Last Thursday, medical researchers confi rmed that Jeff Parker, White Bear Lake native whose NHL career was cut short by a dreadful concussion in 1991, and who died last September at age 53, was suffering from CTE, which can only be detected after death. “It was worse than we thought,” said Scott Parker. “We knew all along that he was suffering, but he masked it pretty well. He must have been suffering a lot more than we knew.” Parker had one of the most severe cases of CTE, according to medical records provided exclusively to 5 Eyewitness News and The New York Times. Researchers at Boston University’s CTE Center announced that Parker had Stage 3 (out of 4) CTE, the same level of the disease that was found in the brain of former NFL star Aaron Hernandez, who was convicted of murder in 2015 and committed suicide in prison in 2017. "Jeff Parker’s brain was at such a stage – the disease was taking over his brain,” Dr. Ann McKee said in a phone interview from Boston, as reported by Eyewitness News. “It was just going to get worse and worse — It’s very substantial brain damage. The nerve cells weren’t working,” stated McKee, chief of neuropathology at Boston's VA hospital and director of the CTE Center. Scott Parker, after viewing photographs that showed how massive the damage was, told the White Bear Press, “It was pretty sad for me and my brother John to see that. Pretty hard to fathom. “Jeff rarely talked about it, only in his darkest times, but his head hurt. He compared it to

a freight train going through his head.” The Parker family — Scott, John, and parents Charlie Parker and Linda Wenzel — donated Jeff’s brain to the CTE Foundation, after getting a call from Brad Maxwell, president of the Minnesota NHL Alumni Association, who had relayed the request to them. Besides Parker, at least six other NHL players have been found to have had CTE, according to the New York Times. SUBMITTED They are Reggie Fleming, Jeff Parker, shown here Rick Martin, Bob Probduring his Buffalo Sabres ert, Derek Boogaard, days, died last September at Larry Zeidel and Steve age 53. Montador. Parker was among approximately 150 former players who fi led suit against the NHL, claiming that the league thrived on the violence but did little to warn players of the long-term effects. The NHL’s counter argument is that nobody understood the impact concussions could have back in those days, and that the players were given reasonable care given what was known at the time. At this stage, both sides are waiting for a federal judge to rule whether the lawsuit can proceed as a class action. “When he joined the lawsuit, I’m sure he had conversations,” John Parker said. “When he went to Washington, I remember him saying how it affected him, the stories about other players who died before him, how hurt he felt about that. The reason he joined the lawsuit was to help the next guy. With Jeff, it was always about helping the next guy.” Jeff Parker’s death was attributed to infection that attacked his heart and lungs. He had been suffering from pulmonary hypertension. Hockey gave Parker a charmed life for the fi rst half of his time on earth. He helped White Bear Mariner reach the state championship game in 1982 and was a leading player on Michigan State’s run to the 1986 NCAA championship. After some minor league time he moved on to the NHL, spending three seasons with Buffalo before being traded to Hartford. His playing days ended with a gruesome hit in Hartford 1991, when his head struck the stanchion holding the glass to the boards, after a violent

check by a 230-pound Washington defenseman. That was his second concussion in 15 days. There had been other concussions, including in the minor leagues, said Scott Parker. The second half of his life, post-hockey, was a struggle. Parker reported suffering from constant ringing in the ears, headaches from bright lights, and decreased hearing and sense of taste. John Parker said that when Jeff tried to take classes, he had to give up, unable to read and concentrate. In his last few years, the former NHL player worked as a bartender in St. Paul, partly to avoid bright light. All three brothers played high school and.college hockey, and all three won NCAA championships. Scott got his at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, John at UW – Madison. Scott Parker, a longtime high school hockey coach in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, was asked how he views player safety, in light of what happened to his older brother. High school players are “watched very carefully,” he stressed, and their readiness to play after a hit is decided by team trainers, not coaches. He said players are repeatedly taught technique to avoid checking from behind. And above all, they get immediate attention from a trainer at any sign of trouble. That last part is what haunts Jeff’s brothers, after what they learned about the aftermath of the severe hit in Hartford that night. “They just put him down on the floor of the locker room,” Scott Parker said. “He did not receive any medical help. When he fi nally snapped to, he thought he was still playing for Buffalo. That’s how hard that hit was, and there was no immediate help.” Scott Parker stressed that he and John still love hockey, and “Jeff would do it all over again” if he could. “But that doesn’t mean I love the NHL. I’m sure the NHL has made changes, but they were not soon enough for my brother …. The NHL needs to take care of their boys; they’re the ones who made their owners a lot of money.” John Parker was asked to talk about the old Jeff Parker again. He was happy to oblige. “He was a big-hearted guy. People were attracted and drawn to him. For Scott and I, he was the golden boy. We wanted to be him. I would always hear about how kind he was to people, always with a big smile, a good guy, but tough as nails when he needed to be.”

For Bear girl golfers, Dellwood’s simulator brightened otherwise dreary April BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

While cooped up for most of April due to record snowfall, the White Bear Lake girls golf team had one nice advantage. Their coach, Sue Ryan, is a member of Dellwood Country Club, which features a simulator. “Part of Dellwood being our home course this year includes using the simulator, which we used more than I ever thought we would,” reports Ryan, whose team finally got outdoors last week for three meets. While 25 inches of April snow piled up outside, the Bears utilized the simulator three days a week, two hours each session, while doing strength and conditioning work in the school. “The simulator has multiple functionality and we used all of them to keep the girls engaged — not easy when you’re inside for five or six weeks,” Ryan said. On the simulator’s driving range, the girls were able to determine yardages for each club in their bag. They had chipping and closest-to-the-hole competitions. They played "famous par 3's" from the pro golf tour, including Pebble Beach, as seen in the photo. “When the PGA tour played Harbor Town in Hilton Head, we played Harbor Town,” Ryan said. Friday's were "Game Day” and especially fun. The girls’ favorites were Tic Tac Toe and Breaking Windows. Both games make the player hit different lofted

shots with different targets, and when you hit the window it breaks. Ryan added that Dellwood members “have been very welcoming and encouraging.” Last week, with the long-delayed schedule now bunched up, the team played four Suburban East Conference nine-hole matches. Two of them were within the 18-hole Forest Lakes Invitational as all nine SEC teams were there. The Bears took 11th among 15 teams. Ryan said they’re holding eighth place in the SEC, but just a few shots from being several places higher. “We are a young team but full of potential. Our conference is strong, which is good as it improves your game when you compete against talented players. We are confident we will move up before the season is over.” Unfortunately, the Bears’ home conference meet, slated for April 9, and their invitational, set for April 16 with 14 teams, were snowed out, and not able to be rescheduled, with golf courses booked up. “Our match was set for April 9 but there was a foot of snow on the ground. Hard to imagine snow would still be present for another three weeks,” Ryan remarked. Most consistent players have been Bella Hage, Makena Pratt, and Sydney MacDonald. After those three, Katie Reeves, Sydney Beck, Lauren Schmid, and Eva Sharot are “rotating until we see consistency,” Ryan said. “Determining who to play may become more difficult as recently several younger players are showing improvement and are eager to step up.”

Is 2018 going to be your game improvement year? time to set up a realistic game improvement plan. Your teacher (I prefer thinking of teaching professionals as coaches) should provide you with written instructions of what to practice. There are two essentials, in my mind, that will maximize your return on your practice sessions. The first is the necessity of tearing down the wall between practice and play. The main thing you are trying to accomplish is to play better on the golf course, not just hitting great balls on the range. Your practice sessions need to simulate real golf situations every time. Play an 18-hole round on the range. Get out your scorecard and play the shots you would be playing on the course. Go through your pre-shot routine, pick a new target for each shot. Analyze your situation from behind the ball (never from the side) and zero on your new target. The second practice essential involves knowing how to integrate the different skills you’re working on into your game on the course. The three keys to doing this are engagement, repetition and accurate feedback. Engagement means staying in the present and focusing on what you are working on. If you’re hitting a driver you need to envision a tight fairway on the range, not just “the range”. Repetition is nothing more than being able to repeat the skill you’re working on. If you’re hitting a 7 iron on the range

Erick Bloom

to your imaginary green (use a 20 yard circumference around a pin) and you blade it, hit the shot again til you get it right. Practicing in this manner gives you accurate feedback, which is crucial to the learning process of integrating a new skill. Remember, it takes 1500 repetitions to form a habit. That’s 1500 focused and quality shots, not just beating 1500 balls on the range. The more you can make your practice time simulate real golf course conditions, the faster you will learn and the faster you will retain what skill you are working on. I try to go out once a week to work on wedges around the greens. There is no better way to practice your short game. Try to hit as many pitch and chip shots from every lie imaginable, trying to get up and down at least half of the time. If you want to lower your handicap, there’s no better way to do it than with focused practice on your short game. If you make the commitment to practice like you play, you should also play like you practice. I suggest going out at a time when the course isn’t busy. Play

two balls if you have time and if no one is behind you. This is especially helpful with wedges around the green. Play a pitch, and then try a chip. Different situations require different shots to get the best result. The fun thing about golf is there’s always something to work on! As always, if you have any questions please feel free to send an email and I’ll give you my best response. I want to mention we have a new Girls Golf Academy at Keller this summer. If you have a daughter in 6th-12th grade who is interested in participating, please contact me for more information. Betsy Larey is an LPGA Class A Teaching Professional who has taught adults and juniors for years. She teaches at Keller Golf Course in St Paul and Shadow Ridge range in Lino Lakes.

If you have decided this is the year to improve your golf game, I’ve got a few suggestions on where to start. First, you need to be realistic about your golf game. Do you have a dependTee Time able swing that needs a little tweaking? Or Betsy Larey do you need a complete game overhaul? Either way, enlisting the help of a qualified teaching professional is the best way to start. A good professional will give you an honest assessment of where you are at, and what changes you need to make. Then it’s up to you to make the commitment to practice. If you want to improve, you need to practice the right things. Practicing the wrong things is a waste of time and money. I am not implying that you need to spend thousands of dollars, but you will have to spend enough so you have a thorough understanding of basics and the swing. Remember, golf is a game of skill. A good-looking swing doesn’t make you a great player, but one that allows you to control the distance, direction and trajectory of your shots. No two swings are exactly alike, and the only thing that matters is finding one that works for you. Once you’ve got that dialed in, it’s

Bear softball ends skid beating Woodbury

Emily Price’s first-inning homer gave pitcher Parker Nordstrom all the runs she needed as White Bear Lake defeated Woodbury 3-1 at home Friday. The Bears’ left-handed cleanup hitter socked a tworun homer, lofting it over the fence in left-center fi eld. On base was Kari Breuer, who had singled home the Bears first run.

Zephyr diamondmen take 3 of 4 in double-headers BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Bearing down with two strikes helped Mahtomedi baseball pick up three wins in four games, in a pair of ﬁve-inning double-headers, last week. “Two-strike hitting has been a key to our success over the last few games,” coach Rob Garry said, citing a “selﬂ ess approach at the plate is a credit to their commitment to their teammates.” The Zephyrs lost to South St. Paul 6-4 and salvaged the split winning the second game 12-7 Monday. Austin Jerylo was winning pitcher and smacked a three-run homer. Sam Lapadat was 3-for-3 and Jamie Berg 2-for-3, each knocking in two runs. The Zephyrs (3-2) subdued Tartan 3-2 and 7-1 on Thursday. Jerylo was again winning pitcher in game one, while knocking in two runs with a two-out, two-strike double. Carter Shook sparkled defensively at shortstop. Leo Bustos was winning pitcher in game two. Sam Jenson was 3-for-3 (two runs, RBI) and Charlie Bartholomew had a hit and two RBIs. “Jerylo and Bustos threw well,” Garry assessed. “They threw many strikes early in the count, with effective use of off speed pitches, and put a lot of trust in our defense.” Garry said the team’s “defensive swagger” made strides: “That all started on the mound, but carried over to all defensive positions. Bartholomew, Berg and Shook have really made an impact defensively for us.”

Gateway Trail a nursery for bluebirds BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER LOWDOWN EDITOR

Every Saturday morning during spring and summer, the Holy Rollers bicycling group from St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi become caretakers for dozens of tiny families. This group tends 16 bluebird houses along the Gateway Trail. Eastern bluebirds have long captured human imagination; they are known to many as a symbol of happiness. But this species of bird has faced many challenges, and needs a little bit of human help to thrive in our backyards. Dellwood resident Dennis Lindeke is a member of the Holy Rollers, and also the president of the Gateway-Brown’s Creek Trail Association, a volunteer group of nearly 200 members that helps with upkeep and planning events along the trail corridor. A few years ago, the association was approached by Carolyn Baird, a member of the Bluebird Recovery Program of Minnesota, about placing a few bluebird houses along the trail. The idea fit in perfectly with the cycling group from St. Andrew’s, which spends every Saturday morning biking the Gateway Trail during the spring, summer and fall. “One of our missions is taking care of God’s creation,” Lindeke said. Bluebirds suffered population declines for many years due partly to urban development. These birds only nest in cavities, which occur most often in old, dead trees. Deforestation led to fewer nesting places. Bluebirds also compete with other cavity-nesters for limited space. The type of bluebird houses placed along the Gateway Trail are small containers set above the ground on a post, most often near open fields. Bluebirds eat mostly insects, hunting caterpillars, beetles, crickets and more on the grassy ground nearby. However, the American tree swallow also prefers this territory, and will make its nest in available bluebird boxes. This isn’t too much of a problem, Lindeke explained. The solution is to put two bluebird houses near each other. “We put up the houses in pairs along the trail because the bluebirds are kind of timid, and the other type of bird that likes that type of house is the tree swallow. It’s a nice bird, but not as endangered as the bluebird is,” Lindeke said.

The tree swallows will use one house, and the bluebirds can use the other. Given only one house, the more aggressive swallows would chase the bluebirds away. “Tree swallows won’t nest in both because tree swallows will fight each other,” Lindeke said. But tree swallows seem to think that having bluebirds as neighbors is OK. One species Lindeke does not want to see in the bluebird houses are house wrens. Researchers don’t completely understand why, but male wrens are known to create multiple decoy nests in an area. Bluebird houses are an easy target, and the wren will not hesitate to fill it with sticks that prevent bluebirds from nesting inside. Volunteers clear out the boxes if they find wren nests inside. Wrens have also been known to destroy the nests and eggs of other birds. However, they prefer more wooded habitat than bluebirds, so placing bluebird houses near open spaces can also deter wrens from interfering. While wrens can be damaging to bluebirds, Lindeke still appreciates them and places boxes for them in his own yard where bluebirds would be unlikely to nest. Thanks to the efforts of Baird, Lindeke and members of the Trail Association and Holy Rollers, there are 16 bluebird houses on the Gateway Trail between Mahtomedi and the trail’s termination in Pine Point Park. The boxes fledge approximately 40 bluebirds a year, with a total of more than 180 over the last four years. Over the course of a summer, most bluebirds nest twice. It takes about six weeks from hatching before a young bluebird is ready to leave the nest. This year’s long winter has prevented Lindeke and company from placing the houses, since the ground is still too frozen to insert the posts, he explained. In milder winters, some bluebirds are already nesting by this time of the year. “I haven’t seen a bluebird in my backyard yet,” Lindeke said. “They know enough not to come up here where all the snow is.” Learn more about the Gateway-Brown’s Creek Trail Association, and see a calendar of upcoming outings (including bird walks) at www.gatewaybrownscreektrail.org.

911 Dispatch switch flipped to county WHITE BEAR LAKE — At 10 a.m. May 1, the switch was flipped in dispatch, redirecting all calls to Ramsey County Communications Center (dispatch). “While the transfer appeared seamless, it was only made possible through a tremendous amount of planning and preparation,” noted City Manager Ellen Richter. “Hats off to our dispatch, police and fi re personnel.” Last year the City Council painstakingly deliberated over a very difficult decision and took a leap of faith, Richter said. “The success of this process reinforces the confidence held by our council in the great work you all do, and in your commitment to excellence.” The city manager said a special thanks to the dispatch staff “who hung in there” through the

transition. Wendy Colucci is retiring after 35 years as a city employee. Angie Stewart and Naomi Tiffany will stay with the department, performing services that can’t be transferred to Ramsey County, and taking on new responsibilities. Ben Leibel will resume his duties as a community service officer. Moving forward, all emergency (911) and nonemergency (8511) calls will go directly to the Ramsey County Communication Center, where they will be dispatched to public safety personnel accordingly. “We are confident in the partnership we’ve forged with Ramsey County Communication Center staff and their ability to provide great service to our community,” Richter said.

Lift Bridge announces plans for Stillwater expansion STILLWATER — Lift Bridge Brewing Company, Stillwater’s first craft brewery since Prohibition, recently announced that it has purchased 5.5 acres of property in Stillwater to build a much larger production and distribution facility as the company continues to grow. Construction on the first phase of the new location will begin this August to kick off the brewery’s 10-year anniversary celebrations. The new Lift Bridge brewery will be located less than a quarter-mile north of its current location at the southeast corner of Orleans Street W. and Washington Avenue and will feature a taproom, patio and outdoor space. Specific plans for the design and development of the new location are currently under development. “When selecting our future location, it was very important to everyone that the brewery remain in Stillwater,” said Brad Glynn, the brewery’s co-founder and vice president. “As we continue to expand into new markets across the Midwest, this will ensure that we are remaining true to our

roots and our community by brewing and distributing everything from Stillwater.” After experiencing 10 years of consistent growth since the company was founded in a residential garage in 2008, Lift Bridge Brewing is moving to accommodate projected growth at an estimated average of 20 percent over the next five years. In 2017, sales increased more than 20 percent in Minnesota and the company brewed 19,000 barrels of beer, a significant increase from the 8,000 barrels brewed in 2014. Lift Bridge ownership has chosen Hammel, Green & Abrahamson Inc. as the architecture firm for the project, which is expected to be completed by next summer. Metro East Commercial Real Estate represented Lift Bridge Brewing in its search for a new location. Lift Bridge Brewing distributes its craft beverages throughout Minnesota, Eastern North Dakota and much of Wisconsin. To learn more about Lift Bridge, visit www. liftbridgebrewery.com.

Theater department performs work of area playwright The White Bear Lake Area High School Theatre Department will perform the play, “Antigone in Munich” the weekend of May 18-20. The play chronicles the work of World War II German resistance fi ghter Sophie Scholl; her coming of age and development from bystander to witness to activist within the White Rose Society. The White Rose Society created anti-war leaflets that were distributed in Munich and throughout Europe and many of

the core members of the group were executed. “Antigone in Munich” was written by White Bear Lake playwright Claudia Haas. Haas has been writing plays, primarily for teens, for more than 20 years, and her plays have had more than 700 productions in every state in the United States as well as abroad. Director Kari Steinbach has produced other Haas works over the years and has often had her visit her university-level Children’s Theatre

classes as a guest speaker. Haas also spent time during the rehearsal process with the cast, talking about her research for the play and answering their questions about the real-life characters they are playing. The play’s title refers to the Greek play, “Antigone,” by Sophocles. It tells the story of Antigone, who defies the law to do what she feels is right. While writing, Haas saw strong parallels between Antigone and Sophie. Both young women ask, “What do you do

when the laws of man contradict the laws of God?” The production will run Friday and Saturday, May 18 and 19 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, May 20 at 2 p.m. at the White Bear Lake High School North Campus Auditorium, 5045 Division Ave. Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students and seniors and will be available at the door one hour before each performance (cash or check only).

The Centers for Disease Control’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network reported last month that 1 in 59 U.S. children has an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This reflects a 13.2 percent increase over the previous report of a 1 in 68 prevalence rate. Boys also are 4.6 times more likely to be identified with ASD than girls. This was the fi rst year ADDM included Minnesota in its study. In Minnesota, the prevalence rate for autism is 1 in 42, the second-highest rate of the 11 data collection sites throughout the country. Minnesota data was collected from Hennepin and Ramsey counties only. The average age of autism diagnosis in Minnesota is 4 years, 9 months. “Though we are concerned about this increase, we are not surprised,” said Ellie Wilson, Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM) executive director. “Along with an increase in diagnoses comes an increase in the need for programs and services to support individuals with autism from birth through retirement and to provide education and training to our communities.” Some of the change in prevalence could be due to improved autism identification in minority populations, according to the study. Autism is still more likely to be identified in white children than in black or Hispanic children. For more information, visit www.ausm.org.

Spring break spent on Africa’s tallest peak BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

At 51, Lloyd Hansen is not the oldest person to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Still, it was by far the hardest thing he’s ever done. “I don’t know how I made it,” recalled Hansen. “I wanted to quit the fi rst day.” Suffering from altitude sickness, the Medtronic engineer from Hugo said he wept when he summited Africa’s highest peak. He doesn’t know why. Hansen booked the trip, a “bucket list” kind of thing, last August to climb Kilimanjaro in March with his son Gared, a senior at White Bear Lake Area High School. “I’ve always wanted to do some climbing. I envisioned it to be a welltrod hiking path. It was not. There were rocks and boulders everywhere. You had to watch every step you took to avoid twisting an ankle. Then you throw in the altitude sickness, which caused stomach problems. I wasn’t hungry and I felt like I was going to throw up constantly. I worried about not making it and didn’t take out insurance for an emergency. One guy in our group had to be evacuated.” That happened to be the same guy who refused to take medication to combat altitude sickness. Three of the four people in Hansen’s group took the drug, called Diamox. They all made it to the 19,300-foot summit. If he had to do it again, Hansen would stretch the climb to seven days. They did it in six; 4.5 days up and 1.5

days down. There are a half-dozen different routes of varying lengths. The longer it takes, the more time your body has to acclimate to thinner air. Porters carry camping supplies and survival gear. Clients carry day packs with clothing and snacks. For the record, Hansen didn’t really train for the challenge due to an early case of plantar fasciitis. His sport is table tennis and he considers himself in average shape. The mountaintop is cold, zero to minus 10 F, so layers are added as climbers ascend. On summit day, they depart at midnight and reach the plateau in the dark. “It was mind over matter,” recalled Hansen, who noted a 72-year-old woman in his party reached the summit, much to his surprise. “You don’t know how your body will respond to altitude. Some people don’t have a problem.” When they finished, the father-son duo were both physically and mentally exhausted. “Gared was ready to go home,” recalled dad. “He’s 6-foot-4 and was uncomfortable sleeping in the small tent and cramped sleeping bag. He wanted to be done. It was really cool, though, and I know he’s proud of the accomplishment. You forget the pain and remember how surreal it was at the top.” According to Hansen, a 1985 White Bear grad, 40,000 people attempt the summit every year. Only 40 percent make it and six to eight people die.

SUBMITTED

Gared Hansen, a senior at White Bear high school, and his dad Lloyd, an ’85 grad, achieved the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in March.

SUBMITTED

Kilimanjaro porters prepare a man in Hansen’s group for evacuation. Many climbers succumb to altitude sickness and either have to descend or in more serious cases, are medevac’d to the nearest hospital. Special insurance is available for such an emergency.

SUBMITTED

The path up the mountain was strewn with rocks and boulders and much more difficult than Lloyd Hansen expected. WEDNESDAY,

Time to think about parks, trails BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — Summer is coming, and residents are looking for safe routes on which to ride their bikes or walk to their favorite places around town. Mahtomedi's residents value the preservation and upkeep of the city’s proposed or existing 21 parks and 35 trails as an important part of maintaining valued quality-of-life features in the community. That was the takeaway from ongoing conversations over the past two years between community members and city officials. In 2016, various city commissions began surveying residents and held workshops for community input. Those comments also would be used to rewrite the city's Park System Plan to remove redundancies and modify the information to be more relevant, said Candace Amberg, senior landscape architect at WSB, the city’s engineering firm. The community values the trail system and wants to see that system completed as much as possible to connect to the Streetcar Trail, the future Lake Links Trail, the Gateway Trail and to school sites, Amberg noted. Besides better trails, the public also wants to see safer pedestrian crossings and community gardens along the route. Mahtomedi citizens who participated in surveys and

workshops also suggested officials refrain from overdeveloping the parks, to protect the natural features of Katherine Abbott Park, and to improve Hallam Park. The Mahtomedi City Council at its May 1 meeting approved the proposed city's Park System Plan amendment, which updates the previous plan. The parks plan is one of the categories (Chapter 7) of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which covers parks, trails and open spaces. The Lake Links Trail movement and the upcoming Stillwater Road pedestrian upgrades are only one part of the city's plan to increase or preserve parks, trails and open spaces. At the tail end of a development spurt that took place over the past two decades, Mahtomedi's population has grown by approximately 2.2 percent since the 2010 census to 7,845 in 2015. Many of those new residents were involved in the recent discussions. Mahtomedi's 21 parks and open spaces total roughly 176 acres. The largest of these parks is Katherine Abbott at 75 acres, followed by the Dwinnell area at 23.9 acres, Wildwood Park at 21.6 acres and Southwest Park at 16 acres. Wildwood Park is not to be confused with Wildwood Amusement Park, was formerly located on the southeast shore of White Bear Lake and closed in 1936. The city also has 35 existing or proposed trails. The trails are described and prioritized in the revised parks

plan, along with classifications and goals for implementation. Of high priority are various segments of the Streetcar Trail, a new Gateway Trail connection, Dahlia Street Trail, 244/Mahtomedi Avenue Trail; Quail Street Route and Hickory Street Route (N. Warner Avenue to TH 244). The trail plan also identifies six high-priority pedestrian crossings for improved safety and connectivity. These crossings include a Mahtomedi Avenue crossing to connect the Streetcar Trail and Stillwater Road Trail to the future Lake Links trail and Briarwood. Also included in the high-priority list are: TH 244/Wildwood Road, Stillwater Road at Ideal Avenue, Briarwood Avenue at Quail Street, Hilton Trail at 72nd Street and Mahtomedi Avenue by the Mahtomedi District Center. The council-approved plan will now go before the Metropolitan Council for approval before it is adopted into the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. “We are a community divided by high-speed roads,” said Councilman Steve Wolgamot. To see both versions of the Parks Master Plan, visit the city website at www.ci.mahtomedi.mn.us. The previous version will be found on the Welcome page by clicking on “several beautiful parks,” and the amended version recently approved by council may also be found on the Welcome page under Park Master Plan Public Hearing.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — The City Council conducted the following business at its May 1 meeting: • Approved a resolution of support for the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 12 (Stillwater Road/75th Street N.) Safety and Management Project. Beginning in January 2017, the city of Mahtomedi, along with Washington County, the Mahtomedi School District and the cities of Willernie and Grant, have been engaged in preliminary design discussions for roadway and pedestrian improvements to CSAH 12 from Wildwood Road to Jamaca Avenue. The county has requested a resolution of support to move forward with development of the final plans and right of way acquisition for construction of the project. • Approved a resolution of municipal support for an event hosted by Solar United Neighbors (SUN) to be held on May 31 at

the Mahtomedi District Center. The idea is for a community partner, such as the city, to work with SUN to create and implement an outreach strategy. The strategy would encourage prospective participants to visit the solar co-op website and information sessions with a goal of having from 50100 people attend the event and at least 30 participants sign up for the solar coop. After the solar co-op has at least 30 participants, SUN would issue a request for proposal to area installers for them to bid on the project. • Acknowledged the successful completion of the six-month orientation period for Public Works Director Bob Goebel. • Granted permission to FedEx employees to adopt Long Lake Road from Lincolntown Avenue to Century Avenue. For several years, FedEx employees have dedicated at least two days every year to pick up garbage and pull weeds along

that stretch of road, Goebel said. The company sent the city a letter asking to formally adopt Long Lake Road and schedule it for cleanup. The city will provide a sign to be placed along the road. • Hired three temporary seasonal employees for the Public Works Department. Funds were allocated in the 2018 public works division budgets to fund the positions. Historically, the department has hired seasonal employees to supplement workloads during the peak summer season, performing tasks in parks, streets, sewer, water and storm drainage areas and building maintenance. The wage rate for seasonal employees starts at $11 per hour for a first-year employee and increases to $14 per hour for an employee with three or more years of experience with the city. • Approved a no parking resolution for Hickory Street from 320 feet east of Mahtomedi Avenue to Warner Avenue.

As part of improvements on Hickory Street and Municipal State Aid approval for the project, the city is required to restrict parking on both sides of the street due to the proposed width of the roadway at 26 feet. Parking will be allowed on both sides of Hickory Street on the western 320 feet of the roadway. • Heard a summary from City Engineer John Sachi concerning road improvement projects now underway or still in the planning stages. Improvement projects currently underway include Historic District 3, Hickory Street and Briarwood Street. Upcoming neighborhood meetings will be held for the Bichner/Talahi water main project and the Echo Lake Area project. “There's a lot going on in 2018,” Sachi said. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 15, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

It was as if April never really happened. May is off to a sizzling start, 9º warmer than normal. Warm air has ﬂooded the area. Lake ice went out, setting records for some lakes by hours, as latest ever recorded. Tulips, daffodils, magnolias, azaleas and even dandelions are blooming. It seems trees are leaﬁng out in record time. This past weekend was spectacular, starting with a vivid red cloud sunset on Friday. Saturday was a bit warm, 84º, but an evening thunderstorm was followed by a double rainbow and cooler temperatures, which made Sunday one of the most comfortable days of the year.
