A downtown trip down memory lane or, more precisely, Clark Avenue and Third Street BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

When the area expert presents her lecture on historic downtown White Bear Lake, it starts on Clark Avenue. The dirt road was the grand promenade to the lake for St. Paulites after they stepped off the train in the late 1800s. In Part I of her slide show tour at the library recently, Historical Society Executive Director Sara Markoe Hanson explained that Clark Avenue was the city's main street because it was in the heart of town when White Bear Lake was platted in 1871. According to Hanson, the avenue was wide so visitors could make their way to the water. “That is why people came to White Bear Lake. At least, that's what the railroad people believed.” Over the years, the block continued to improve. It wasn't paved until 1910. “We hear stories about why it's called Clark Avenue,” Hanson continued. “There was a Clark family living on the street. The family would race their horses up and down it. More likely, Clark was named for a railroad executive. Many streets were named for railroad people.” Next on the pictorial tour is a building on SEE DOWNTOWN, PAGE 8A

Students study community history through trees BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — A cross-section of a 280-year-old tree that toppled next to White Bear Lake last year is a new kind of textbook studied by students at Mahtomedi High School. “It's like a book – it's a little history book,” said senior Acadia Hegedus. Environmental science teacher Jim Lane is borrowing a cross-section of the Native American marker tree that toppled near Lake Avenue last summer from the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. Lane approached the organization about the possibility of using part of the tree for his class and offered to sand and seal it, said Sara Markoe Hanson, the society's executive director. The marker tree that toppled near Lake Avenue last

summer dates to 1738, said Lane, who dated it himself. Smaller growth rings can be observed around the time a supervolcano erupted in South America in about 1815. It affected the tree for about 20 years. This was also during the time of western expansion and harsh growing seasons for Native American cultures could have influenced the interaction of westerners and Natives, Lane noted. The tree has large growth rings from about the 1870s to 1910, when the Midwestern Bread Bowl agricultural industry was expanding, Lane added. Then, during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, small growth rings are seen. Last summer, the tree toppled near the shore of White Bear Lake. It was likely used as a marker tree for Native Americans due to its twisted branches,

Ancestry DNA profile reveals a few surprises

SUBMITTED

Hugo resident Becky Petryk and her sister Roslyn Deitz of Vadnais Heights. Petryk was born a blue-eyed blonde and her sister has dark brown hair and eyes. BY JULIE KINK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

She’d always suspected she was a “Scandinavian mongrel.” But when Becky Petryk got her genetic profile, there were some surprises in store. True, she’s 63 percent Scandinavian. But the Hugo resident learned she also has some Finnish, some Eastern and Western European, Irish, British, and even a fraction of North African blood. “Those Vikings got around,” she said, referring to the ancient Nordic seafarers’ penchant for raiding and trading their way across Europe. Petryk obtained her ethnic profile through Ancestry. com’s DNA analysis program. She checks in via the website about once a week to see what’s new. Becky is a longtime Hugo City Councilwoman; her husband Jim is a Navy pilot who retired from Northwest Airlines about eight years ago. They live on Bald Eagle Lake. “I never thought I was Irish or British at all,” Becky said. Her parents died young, and though they shared what information they could remember, it didn’t go back all that far. AncestryDNA revealed she had a first cousin in Chicago who was looking for her, whom she had not seen since age 6. “That proved to me that they are really accurate,” she said. Calling itself “the world’s largest consumer DNA database,” AncestryDNA stores DNA test results and samples without identifying information, and allows clients to set the level of openness. Unless a member chooses to make their profile public, Becky explained, “they just tell you there are people who are related to you. They confirmed the relationships we absolutely knew, and we

found others that were really interesting. Every time you click on Ancestry, you find something new.” For example, Becky and Jim’s daughter discovered she has three direct lines of women ancestors who were Quakers. Persecuted by the Puritans, three of her relatives were tried for witchcraft and killed, Becky said. Jim has a relative who served in the Revolutionary War, and Becky has a female relative who, at 21 years old, served as city administrator of Mountain Iron, Minnesota. “My DNA links me to people who are still in Finland and still in Germany,” Becky said. “Not all countries have enough people contributing their DNA, but in these countries there are enough people who did, and it tells me there are individuals I’m linked to ... I’m connecting with people that I never would have connected with, and we’re talking and sharing information and stories,” she said. Becky’s interest in obtaining her profile was sparked by Jim’s mother, who was curious about the family history and obtained a DNA test about 10 years ago, Becky said. At 89 years old, Jim’s parents are still learning interesting things about their backgrounds that they never knew. Jim’s father’s family came from an area of the Caucasus region at the border of Europe and Asia, which was overrun many times throughout history, Becky said. His mother has close to 700 documented relatives. “They now have a more complete idea of where they came from, why their grandparents or their parents left, and how really horrible the conditions were and how lucky they were to get out and get to this country.

ly makes you appreciate the fact that maybe the good old days weren’t so good,” she commented. The test costs around $99 for Ancestry.com members.“You literally spit in this little tube, shake it and mail it off, and results take about six weeks,” Becky explained. Ancestry.com searches its global network of AncestryDNA members to identify the people who share DNA, uncovering stories, details and insights about the people and places in a person’s unique family history. There are more than three million people in the database at present, according to the website. Petryk said spitting into that test tube convinced her how lucky she really is. “It draws you in,” she remarked. “How many grandparents think about sitting down and telling their 10- or 12-year-old grandchildren about their history? I knew that my grandparents and my great-grandparents had hard lives ... but I had no idea the level of poverty in these countries. I came from people who were fleeing poverty and starvation. They were dirt poor, and all they had was their work ethic and their brains. I have no one in my background who had anything more than the clothes on their back and enough money scraped together to get on the ship and get over here — that’s all they had ... They were hardworking people who wanted more for their children than they had, and they thought education was the key to the future.” Becky remembers her mother, who died of cancer at age 56, saying to her, “It’s important to talk to your children, because your children don’t have your memories.”

Cruising the Bahamas

T

HE MANUFACTURER OF our 30 year old motor yacht, Ocean Alexander, has an annual rendezvous. This year it was held at Dunsmore Town on Harbor Island, Eluethera, Bahamas. Long time boating friends, George and Jeanne Richter of North Fort Myers, agreed to join us on the month long cruise. It is essential to have an experienced crew along. In late March we provisioned and Kathy prepared several menu items to put in the small freezer on the back deck. Preparation includes removing boxes from cereal, crackers, pizzas, and anything else that takes up extra room. A boat mechanic was summoned for last minute repairs About the and mechanical inspections. It takes 2-3 days to cross the state of Town Florida on the Caloosahatchee WaterGene Johnson way through Lake Okeechobee. Then it was weather watch time for crossing the Atlantic, 94 miles from Lake Worth to Bimini. We fueled in Alicetown, Bimini at $4.35 a gallon and took on water at 75 cents a gallon. It is a prime location for deep sea fishing. The 143 mile trip to Nassau was uneventful except for the beauty of nature. After three days there we departed for Spanish Wells where we connected with Jock Morgan who would captain our vessel across Devils Backbone, a dangerous area of coral reefs around the north end of the island of Eluethera. The rendezvous was held at Valentine’s Resort and Marina and provided us with three days of planned activities and visiting eight yachts that were there. Our daughter Stephanie and son-in-law Chuck flew into Nassau and took the fast ferry to meet us. After a couple more days of exploring Harbour Island we were ready to cruise to the Staniel Cay area of the Exumas. On the way we enjoyed the 49 mile jaunt to the DECCA station on Pipe Cay near Staniel Cay. It felt like we were getting home as we tied onto the 150 foot concrete wall built by the British government as a Loran tracking station. The station has been abandoned for more than 20 years, since GPS replaced Loran. We have created many wonderful memories on that tiny island over the years. The only sounds are of the birds, the waves, the wind and the hum of our generator twice a day. When it was time for Stephanie and Chuck to go back to Minnesota we left the DECCA station and anchored near Big Majors, where the swimming pigs reside. Steve and Cynthia Hibbard, my niece, of Ocala, Florida arrived next and we were able to get dock space at Staniel Cay. One of the highlights the following morning was snorkeling at Thunderball Grotto where the James Bond movie, ‘Thunderball’, was filmed. The Staniel Cay Yacht Club harbormaster, Chubby, said this winter was the busiest in history with a record number of chartered mega yachts in the Exumas. Some of these yachts rent for over $50,000 for one week plus expenses. The Bahamas, especially the Exumas, have long been a favorite area to explore and relax. We noticed several differences this year that we had not experienced before. With little dock space available the anchorages were all full. The numbers of people aboard the large yachts caused the beaches where we formerly could find multitudes sea biscuits, shells, sand dollars and sea glass were all picked clean. We found several baby conch shells that had been taken out of the water and left to die. We were disturbed by the lack of respect for nature. The cost of food, dockage, water, electricity and supplies had increased dramatically. The Bahamas had instituted a VAT tax and most restaurants now include a 20% gratuity in their bill. Parts which have to be shipped in have high duty. There are great mechanics and workers there and the people are still friendly and courteous. After a few repair challenges we returned to our Ft. Myers Marina to prepare for the summer in Minnesota. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Treat at home or head to the doctor?

hen you’ve got a health insurance deductible of $3,000, $6,000 even $10,000, you think twice about going to the doctor, especially if it isn’t necessary. That begs the question: how do you know if an injury is treatable at home or needs a doctor’s attention? We certainly don’t want to spend the money for a doctor visit if it isn’t Movers & necessary. On the other hand, Shakers some injuries, if Carolyn McClain left untreated can get much worse and even put your health at risk. Here are some of the most common injuries and advice to determine if you can treat at home or if you should head to the doctor’s office. Cuts Certainly, a paper cut or small cut can be treated at home with a good cleaning, pressure and a Band-Aid. But when is that cut so deep you need stitches? Consider a couple criteria: • Where is the cut? • How deep? • How bad is it bleeding? A deep cut on your face is a concern. You want that cut treated properly to prevent a scar. Additionally, cuts that are so deep there is a gap (a couple millimeters or more) or those bleeding uncontrollably and through dressings are worth getting checked out. Also consider what made the cut. A stick or item outside has a greater risk of creating infection than a knife from the dishwasher. Regardless of the source or depth of the cut, I suggest you run it under medium pressure water

for 30 seconds. The water will clean the cut from the outside, while the blood coming from the cut will clean it from the inside. Then apply immediate pressure while determining if you need to be seen. Rashes Our main concern with a rash is whether or not there are associated symptoms like fever, pain, difficulty breathing or swelling in the throat. These are signs you need to be seen immediately. Another red flag is a rash that is spreading despite efforts to control it with anti-itch creams. Also, be on alert for a rash that is painful as this could signify cellulitis, a potentially serious bacterial skin infection that appears as a swollen, red area of skin that feels hot and tender. As a general rule of thumb, if you have a rash and you suspect it is not an allergic reaction and do not have any other symptoms, you can wait and treat it with over-thecounter creams. But, if it doesn’t get better, you should be seen. Twist, sprain or break? Is there significant swelling? Can you put pressure on the affected area? If it’s your ankle, can you walk on it? There are situations where a broken bone is obvious because you can see the deformity. In other situations, it’s ok to ice the area and wait. Give it several hours or even a full day. If the injury isn’t as serious follow the steps of RICE: Rest the injured area, apply ice, compress with an elastic bandage, and elevate it above your heart. If the injury is serious, it won’t feel better and you’ll need to get it checked out. Burns are very common. In many cases, bacitracin and keeping the area covered will help the injury heal. But, there are some burns that need to be seen by a doctor right away. For example, any burn to the palm of your

hands must be seen. This area is particularly concerning because burns cause the skin to retract and the skin on your palm doesn’t retract as easily as the skin on the back of your hand, for example. The same concern is true of areas of the skin that cross a joint such as a knee or ankle. Other burns that need to be accessed include burns to your face or large burns, bigger than the palm of your hand as these burns are at higher risk for infection. Bee Stings If you are ever stung in the mouth or on the face, it’s a good idea to get checked out, especially because swelling from the sting could make it difficult to breath or swallow. As well, if you are stung multiple times, let a doctor evaluate you. Certainly, if you are swelling in areas other than the sting site, are having trouble breathing, feel light headed or develop a fever, head to the doctor immediately In most cases, a bee sting can be handled at home. You will feel pain from the sting and possibly notice swelling at the site. Remove the stinger with a tweezer and then ice the area and take Benadryl. Fainting Many of us can remember a time we passed out. It can happen if you get up too quickly and your blood pressure isn’t able to keep up with your movement. Or, maybe you get light-headed at the sight of blood? These are all normal reactions and can be treated by laying the patient flat on the floor and offering liquids and even a salty snack. Fainting is cause for concern if it happens while you are exercising as it can be a sign of a serious heart condition. These patients need to be seen right away.

Tips on insurance and storm damage claims

ith an early start to the spring severe storm season, Minnesota Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman urges Minnesotans who experienced damage to their homes, businesses or vehicles to contact their insurance companies to start the claims process. Rothman offers the following tips for Minnesotans affected by the storms: • Notify your insurance company or agent as soon as you can to start the claims process. If possible, have your policy information available when you call. If you cannot locate your insurance company information, the Minnesota Commerce Department may be able to help you with a contact number. • Make temporary inexpensive repairs to prevent further damage. For example, board up broken windows or throw a tarp over a leaky roof. Keep receipts for materials you buy, so you can be reimbursed. Do not make permanent repairs until your insurance company has inspected the damage. • Record the damage. Take photos

or video if possible. Make a detailed list of all personal property destroyed, damaged or lost. You will want to share the list with the insurance adjuster. Do not throw out damaged items Movers & any until the adjuster has inspected them. Shakers • Work with the insurance company Minnesota adjuster. Your Dept. of insurance company Commerce will send an adjuster to inspect the damage to your home and personal property. (Make sure your house number is visible or provide directions.) The insurer pays the adjuster, so you should not be asked for any payment. • The adjuster will provide you with a proof-of-loss form. Use this form to fi le a claim with your insurance company as soon as possible. You will receive your claim payment after you and the insurer agree on the amount of the damages. • Keep records. Maintain copies

On the morning of April 30, 2017, Scott passed away at his home surrounded by his children and grandchildren, in the loving arms of his wife. He endured a rare form of brain cancer while fully accepting “God’s divine will.” He is preceded in death by his father, Glen Reinke; and his mother-in-law, Mereece Woznick. He will be dearly missed by his wife of 38 years, Tammy Reinke; his children, Michael Reinke, Lex Reinke, Annie (Eric) Reinke-Tauscheck, and Kristen Reinke; his grandchildren, Jasmine and Jaden Anderson; his mother, Joan Reinke; his siblings, Paul (Carol) Reinke and Chris (Mickie) Reinke; his father-in-law, Deacon Greg Woznick; brothers-in-laws and sisters-in-laws, Bruce and Cindy Hamond, Dawn Maloney, and Bear Woznick; and many other family and friends.

There is a charge for longer, more thorough obituaries and life stories. Submitted photos are welcome. Both death notices and obituaries may be submitted with contact information (including a phone number), by email to reporter@presspubs.com, by fax to 651-429-1242 or by calling 651-407-1230.

of all correspondence, photos, documentation, and bills submitted to the adjuster and the insurance company. Keep good notes of your phone calls with your insurance company and the adjuster. • Watch out for “storm chaser” contractors. Once your insurance claim is processed, get estimates from local contractors known to you or recommended by someone you trust. Avoid “storm chaser” contractors from out of town who go door to door. Ask contractors for references and proof of workers compensation insurance. Check their license status and any disciplinary actions at www.doli.state. mn.us • Insist on detailed, written estimates for repairs. Avoid highpressure sales tactics. Some scammers will try to trick you into signing a contract by saying it is an estimate. Your signature is not required to receive an estimate. • Prepare a written contract agreement with anyone you hire. It should specify the work to be done, the materials to be used and the price breakdown for both labor and

materials. Do not pay the whole repair bill in advance. Pay in full only when the work is completed according to your agreement. • Your homeowners insurance will generally cover removal of a fallen tree only if it caused damage to your house or other insured structure. There may also be a coverage limit for the cost of removal. • Storm damage to your vehicle may be covered by your auto insurance. Whether your vehicle was damaged by hail, a fallen tree or flooding, your loss may be covered as long as you selected “Comprehensive” or “Other than Collision” in your auto policy. Check your “Minnesota Insurance Identification Card” or call your agent or insurance company. • Contact the Minnesota Commerce Department if you have a problem with your insurance company or agent. If you have a complaint or cannot resolve your insurance claim, contact the Commerce Department for assistance. Mike Rothman is Minnesota’s Commerce Commissioner.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Spring clean-up well run

Art rewards night ‘thank you’

The White Bear Lake “Spring Clean-Up” is very useful for its residents. An easy and reasonably priced way to get rid of unneeded items. The setup is well planned and very efficient. What really impressed me was the pleasant attitude of the person pricing the load, the one receiving the payment, the one directing where to go, and even those doing the unloading. Thanks to all. It would be interesting to know how many took advantage of this event. When I arrived about noon there were about 30 vehicles in front of me. Dick Johnson White Bear Lake

A big thank you to Sara Marie Moore for her informative article regarding the White Bear Center for the Arts Rewards Night for youth writers. What a wonderful way to honor and recognize an endeavor besides sports. The English teachers from Mahtomedi, White Bear, Stillwater and Forest Lake high schools deserve a pat on the back for promoting and encouraging their students to participate. Instructors and students, keep up the good work. The quality of the submissions gets better each year. Eileen Berger White Bear Lake

The mayor said the honor was “well deserved.” She called upon residents to “extend congratulations and to honor him by volunteering or donating to a worthy cause.” A reception for Foussard is planned May 23 at Century College-East Campus in the Library Fireplace Area. The 7 p.m. event is open to the public. • Consented to three land use requests. First was approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment and conditional use permit to allow expansion and redevelopment of White Bear Animal Hospital. Owner Dr. Stuart Dalton is buying the house next door at 1917 County Road E to expand his clinic. The property will be rezoned from single-family residential to neighborhood business. Councilman Dan Jones asked the city

attorney if he should recuse himself because his cat Buddy is a patient. The answer was “no.” The current buildings will be demolished and a new 5,870-square-foot, one-story veterinary clinic constructed with a 21-stall parking lot. The new design will allow dogs to be segregated from cats. Second was approval of a request by Inspiration LLC for a setback variance. The variance will allow the deunification of two underlying lots of record to construct two new single-family residences. The property is located at 4583 Second Ave. The applicant, David Fry, spoke to the Planning Commission last month about the proposal. Following a public hearing, the commission recommended inclusion of a 15th condition to provide a shared driveway along the north edge of the lots. Other conditions included an unenclosed front porch on each home or significant covered entry and garages to the side or rear of the home. Park dedication is also due once the second home is constructed. Fry plans

to market the properties, which will face Eugene Street. Third was approval of a request by Boatworks Commons, Mizu Japanese Restaurant and Studio One Yoga for its general concept and development plan. • Passed a resolution approving an agreement with Ramsey County for 2017 election services. Assistant City Manager Rick Juba noted that during the 2016 general election, the city experienced a significant increase in early votes cast through the no-excuse absentee balloting process. It is anticipated that this will increase to 33 percent of total votes during the 2018 statewide election and up to 50 percent during the next presidential election. The county expressed interest in administering the city's 2017 election at the library in a pilot project to centralize early voting. The county proposed the city pay $11,000 for the services. That's assuming there is no primary. If there is a primary, it will add an estimated $7,000. “Even if the amount is $18,000, it's still less than what we have

budgeted,” Juba told the council. • Approved resolution authorizing use of public space and services to support 2017 Manitou Days. • Heard a report from Public Works director Mark Burch who said the city is installing both launch docks at Matoska Park, as well as the Y-dock for sailors now that lake levels are higher. “That dock hasn't been used in eight years,” he added.

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

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A burglar entered an unlocked residence the afternoon of May 3 in the 100 block of Mayfair Road and apparently headed right for the master bedroom. In the bedroom was a shoebox containing $3,000 in cash, now missing. The 31-year-old resident, and victim, told authorities about a “friend” who knew about the shoebox. A neighbor saw someone leave the residence carrying a shoebox that afternoon. Investigators have termed that individual as a “person of interest.” The investigation continues. • A temporary WalMart employee with a penchant for Snapple used the store’s self-checkout to make off with $156 in stolen merchandise on three occasions in early May, paying each time for only a bottle or two of Snapple. The 34-year-old St. Paul man was featured each time in the untoward activity on video. • An off-duty rooster was captured by maintenance personnel at a mobile home park in the 200 block of Mayfair Road in the late-morning hours of May 4. The bird was transported to Hillcrest Animal Hospital. It should be noted, however, that owning a rooster in Vadnais Heights is prohibited by city ordinance. • A vehicle being driven on the grass around an apartment building in the 600 block of County Road D May 4 was reported to 911. Arriving deputies identified the driver as a 32-year-old male resident of the complex and charged him with second-degree blood-alcohol test refusal. Management had entered his third-floor residence earlier that evening to check on his welfare after a flat screen TV was tossed from the deck onto the sidewalk below, smashing it to smithereens. The man was booked into the Ramsey County Jail. • A townhouse resident in the 800 block of Woodgate Drive was engaged in yard work May 5 with her 53-year-old “mentally challenged” son when a 39-year-old neighbor called her son a “retard.” The 39-year-old neighbor has harassed her son in

the past, according to Mom and to Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department records. The incident was added to the fi le. • A prowler with an apparent desire to wear a waiter’s apron, took just that along with a $20 bill, following a smash and grab from a vehicle May 5 in an apartment visitor’s lot in the 1000 block of County Road D. • Responding to a report of a possible jumper on the bridge at Edgerton Street and County Road E the evening of May 5, deputies were able to talk the 70-year-old woman down. “I’m having a rough day,” the senior said. “I just stopped here to cool off.” She was transported to United Hospital on a mental health hold. • A 67-year-old woman, wistfully looking at Mother’s Day cards the afternoon of May 6 at WalMart, didn’t notice the thief take her wallet from her shopping cart. By the time the victim returned home from her errands, she had a message from her bank regarding the flurry of credit card activity on her account totaling $1,661. • A sheriff’s deputy visiting a Kwik Trip store May 6 at 4 a.m. in the 3200 block of Hwy. 61 saw two females pocket a pair of sunglasses and a chicken sandwich. He cited the pair, a 35-year-old local and a 38-year-old from Andover, for theft. • Friends called 911 in the early morning hours of May 7 to report a 33-year-old man found in a rear bedroom of a home in the 1000 block of County Road D and a syringe found nearby. The dopedazed, homeless man was treated with Narcon and transported to a local hospital. • A woman described by a 911 caller as “agitated and paranoid” was admitted to a local hospital on a “mental health hold” after being found incoherent in the wee hours of May 7 at an address in the 3100 block of Centerville Road. The 56-yearold, out of Isanti, who has a history of substance abuse and other mental health problems, was found in possession of 15 different prescription drugs. • A 37-year-old local victim discovered and quickly reported fraudulent activity on her credit cards on May 8, amounting to $1,627. Following an investigation, Capital One and PayPal reinstated the loss to the woman’s account.

• A woman called 911 on May 8, concerned about her sister’s behavior. Deputies visited the 46-year-old sister in the 3300 block of Berwood Court, fi nding her setting fi res on her deck. County records show five calls to this address this year for “unusual behavior.” The woman was transported to Regions Hospital for observation.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • Doe Circle residents reported felony credit card fraud amounting to nearly $2,500 on May 4. An investigation is underway. • An intoxicated, semi-coherent woman told a 911 dispatcher the morning of May 4 that her fiancee had beaten her up and she was currently on the floor of her garage. After changing her story, she was transported to Regions Hospital by ambulance. The 56-year-old woman, who has been involved in four previous alcohol-related incidences, called her 53-year-old fiancee who drove to the hospital. He was arrested there for driving with a restricted license due to alcohol-related violations. No word on the wedding date. • Suspicious residents on Oakmede Lane stopped payment on a check May 5 after noticing the door to their curbside mailbox hanging open. They had left an outbound check there earlier. The $200 check was found later in the possession of two people in a stolen vehicle in Corcoran. • Loss prevention employees observed a known shoplifter exit Cub Foods on Meadowlands Drive the morning of May 8 with several items she had not paid for. An accomplice was waiting for her on a motorcycle just outside. The couple was detained however, and $27 worth of candy, produce and a padlock were recovered. The 33-year-old man and 20-year-old woman were cited and released. • An intruder forced his way into the Tamarack Nature Center on Otter Lake Road overnight May 9, using a ladder to access the upper level. Damage was limited to a door and a window. Nothing was found to be missing or disturbed, according to employees.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A Birch Park apartment building that had a fire has been temporarily condemned by the city. “They did list that apartment building as temporarily condemned due to smoke damage,” said Rick Juba, assistant city manager. “The apartment owner has a fire restoration contractor in there trying to mitigate that.” Residents from the about 30-unit building at 1880 Birch St. moved out last week, said Sue Schnarr, president of MGM Property Management.

Some are staying in hotels or with families, but residents are not tied in to the building, Schnarr noted. They were given their security deposit, their May rent was returned and each family was given $500 to help them move. The entire building will have to be cleaned out, repainted and equipment replaced, Schnarr said. A portion of the building could be reopened within 45 days if the city allows it, she added. Otherwise, it is expected to be 90 to 100 days until people can move back in. A fire started in an air conditioner May 5. All residents were evacuated safely.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Over 1,000 texting citations issued statewide Law enforcement across the state cited more than 1,000 distracted drivers for distraction during a two-week campaign last month. Drivers were found shopping for cars online, making an NBA fantasy draft list on a phone, Snapchatting, and reading text messages from parents, reports the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. A driver who failed to stop for a pedestrian also admitted being distracted by a chicken in his lap. More than 300 agencies took part in the extra enforcement wave, which lasted 14 days. There were 1,017 (72.6 per day) citations during the two-week campaign compared with 972 tickets written last year during the seven-day extra enforcement period. The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office gave 27 distracted driving citations, the Washington County Sheriff's Office three and the White Bear Lake Police Department four.

Overall in 2016, law enforcement cited nearly 6,000 drivers for texting while driving, a 251 percent increase in five year (2012). In Minnesota, it is illegal for drivers to read, compose or send texts and emails, and go online while the vehicle is in motion or a part of traffic. This includes sitting at a stoplight or stop sign or stopped in traffic. It also is illegal for drivers with a permit or provisional driver’s license to use a cell phone while driving, except for emergencies to call 911. Minnesota law states drivers face a $50 fine, plus court fees, for a first offense. They’ll pay an additional $225 fine (for a total of $275), plus court fees, for second and subsequent violations of the texting-while-driving law.

Minnesota begins electronic search warrants Minnesota peace officers and judges can now complete the search warrant application process electronically, using a new system developed by the

Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA). The eSearch Warrant application is now available and being used by law enforcement agencies statewide. eSearch Warrants allow a peace officer to complete and submit an electronic search warrant application to a judge on any day at any hour. The judge receives a notification about a pending application, then logs into the system to review the document. The judge connects with the peace officer by phone to “swear in” the officer. Then the judge either issues a warrant or rejects the application. “Before eSearch Warrants, a peace officer would write a search warrant application and then drive it to the judge for review,” said BCA Superintendent Drew Evans. “Making this process electronic is particularly beneficial for after-hours warrant applications related to DWI investigations.”

the corner of Clark Avenue and Second Street that is “near and dear” to her heart, Hanson said. Now a Domino's Pizza, the brick building used to be City Hall and the fire department. The children's library moved to the second floor in 1962 after outgrowing the 50-year-old Carnegie Library. She attributed its popularity to all the young families moving in. Built in 1880 of wood, the fire station was remodeled several times to accommodate bigger fire trucks. When the doors couldn't be made larger, the building was torn down and a new municipal facility was built in its place. The fire department operated there until 1961 then moved across the highway and in 1988, the current City Hall was built next to the station. The building next to the old station was the jail. “You could be sent to jail for driving 5 mph over the speed limit or catching more than your limit of fish,” Hanson said. As the historian continued north, she pointed out a white building that was the Christian Science Church. Built in 1894 as a Methodist church, it didn't survive, she said, and was purchased in 1918 for $1,200 by the Christian Science Society. They turned the building 90 degrees in 1938. Nearby was the Mercantile Company barn that housed the livestock used to haul merchandise. The rest of the block north to the corner has been a variety of auto dealerships and auto repair places over the years. Joe Beaupre built a Chevy dealership in 1927 that became Smith Chevrolet. There is

a bear in a photo outside a later dealership that a boxer named Freddy Lenhart planned to wrestle. “We liked to bring bears to town,” Hanson noted. When the White Bear Hotel at the end of the block was razed, Smith added a garage on the spot. Today it's Frazer Automotive. There were other dealerships, too, on Fourth Street. In 1917, Peter Fournelle built an auto business that became White Bear Auto Sales. By 1955, Al Podvin was leasing the site to Herb Tousley, who later moved his Ford dealership to County Road E. The original building burned down in 1964. “We often refer to this as the original White Bear auto strip,” Hanson noted. “They kept shifting in and out.” A Sears catalog store arose from the ashes of the dealership that is now a chiropractic clinic and across the street, most of the block was taken up by State Bank, which eventually became US Bank. Houses were razed and a church on the site burned down and became a parking lot. Moving east on Third Street, the brick Getty building was prominent. Built in 1890, some of the architectural features, like the points on the roof, were damaged during a 1941 tornado and not replaced. When Cotroneo's liquor moved in to the old Ciresi's, owners uncovered leaded glass, tin roofs and many interesting features, Hanson said. The block was grand and the brainchild of Daniel Getty who was the town's first shopkeeper. Third Street had his general store on the first floor and the newspaper office, telephone company and village council meeting room — Getty

Hall — on the second. There was also a library on the second floor. Next to Getty was the Joseph Miller Sample Room. That's another name for saloon. Miller was a boxer back in his time and opened the sample room and boarding house in 1881. By 1892, Robert Anderson was the proprietor and the name changed to White Front Saloon. “The naming was not very creative,” Hanson observed. “It was named that because it was whitewashed.” The building changed hands in the 1890s again to Gus' Place and more. Today it is Houlihan's Pub. “It's one of those buildings I would love to see what is underneath,” Hanson told the group. She dropped more names of shopkeepers and stores in the vicinity: Flander's Meat Market, King & Co. Drugs. Businesses came and went along Third Street. Other interesting trivia and reincarnations of downtown businesses include: • Evans Music was originally a blacksmith shop. • Getty's feed store was moved down the street and remains the core of the American Legion building. • Washington Avenue was originally Railroad Avenue that ran next to the depot. The name changed in 1932 when Daughters of the American Revolution wanted it changed to honor George Washington. It evolved over time to Washington Square. • Washington Square Grill was originally Mackenhausen's Hardware. By 1904, it became Greengard's Confectionary. It supplied baked goods along the train route and closed in 1956. It then be-

came the local headquarters for Adelaide Stevenson's presidential campaign, then an insurance agency and later a chiropractor before morphing into Washington Square Bar & Grill the last 20 years. • The Neo-Italianate building next door was originally the clubhouse for the independent order of Oddfellows. “The idea behind that group was to provide insurance and support for members. If a member fell ill or died, the club helped support them.” Hanson believes the name was coined as Oddfellows because it was unusual to help your fellow man. • The First National Bank Building, now the home of Rust Architects, was built in 1921. “They were trying to inspire a city beautiful movement,” Hanson said. The bank founders spared no expense. The bank closed in 1929 after the stock market crash but the structure is still significant. It is the only commercial building in White Bear Lake on the National Register of Historic Places. • Reuse/Restyle used to be a saloon called The Hub. Just north of the bank was a meat market built in 1886, the Charles Reif meat market. It became White Bear Drug Store. Its stained glass was repurposed and is at Medicine Chest. The drug store had a popular soda fountain in back. “It was a place to be after games if you weren't at Kohler's Ice Cream Parlor next door,” Hanson said. That is now Olive's Pizza. The White Bear historian will be presenting Part II of her downtown tour down Fourth and Banning in July. Watch for it in “What's Happening.”

Cheese tasting among Vadnais settlers, American Indian interactions Evidence of Woodland Indians — ceramic sherds and fire-cracked rocks — were discovered last summer along the shores of Vadnais Lake by the North Lake Owasso Neighborhood Group (NLONG). In 2015, NLONG had found American Indian artifacts along Lake Wabasso in Shoreview, so it seemed natural that similar artifacts could be discovered along the shores of Lake Vadnais, just a half mile away. A grant from the Minnesota Historical Society allowed the group, led by a professional archaeologist, to conduct several digs and realize success. John Vadnais, one of NLONG’s directors and the great-great-great-grandson of Vadnais Heights’ founder Jean Baptiste Vadnais, says the group is in the process of applying for another grant that would allow NLONG to extend its search this summer. Woodland Indian is a term for people who lived in small family groups before tribal affiliations developed, between 1,500 and 500 years ago. By the 17th century, when French fur traders arrived in the Minnesota area, Indian nations/tribes had formed. By 1846, when the French Canadian families of Vadnais, Garceau and Bibeau settled along the eastern area of Lake Vadnais, the Mdewakanton (Lake People) Tribe of Eastern Dakota Indians (also called the Eastern Sioux) population numbered about 2,000, and their villages of large, elm-bark homes were found only on the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers, south of present-day Anoka. According to “Reflections from the Lake: A 160Year History of the Vadnais Heights Community,” by Rose-Ellen Soler (published 2006), river sites were vital for quick retreats because the Mdewakanton Dakota feared attacks by the Ojibwe (or Chippewa). The Ojibwe had been driven out of the eastern United States by white settlement. When they crowded into the Minnesota area during the mid-1700s, the Ojibwe used their guns to conquer all of the Dakota lands north of the Rum River, which were rich with wild rice lakes. They drove the Dakota south. Like other Dakota, the Kaposia band moved around their territory throughout an average year. They pitched their tepees at Lakes Gervais, Savage and Vadnais for their autumn deer hunt, and they gathered nuts. Centerville and Labore Roads follow the trails the Dakota used to reach Vadnais Lake and White Bear Lake. The Kaposia Band returned to their bark villages along

Joseph R. Brown (1805 – 1870), center back row, is pictured here with Dakota Indians when they traveled to Washington, D.C. to sign a land treaty. He represented the area in the Wisconsin Territorial Legislature until the Minnesota Territory was formed in 1849. He was married to Susan Freniere, whose forebears included a French fur trader, a Mdewakanton Dakota chief and a Yankton Dakota chief. When the Dakota War of 1862 broke out, his Minnesota home was destroyed and his family was captured but not killed due to his wife’s Dakota heritage.

the Mississippi in January and tried to live off their stored corn, wild rice and dried or frozen meat. March was a time for the women, the young and the elderly to make maple sugar, and for the men to start the spring muskrat hunt. Selling pelts was their source of money, and they also used pelts to barter for machine-made goods like iron pots. Unfortunately, contact with American culture was bringing the Dakota’s old way of life to an end by the time the Vadnais Lake settlers arrived. Although the Dakota had learned to use guns rather than bows and arrows to hunt, game was scarce because it had been over-hunted for the fur trade, and buffalo no longer fed along the Mississippi. Barter through the fur trade had also taught the Dakota to prefer steel knives to stone, iron pots to clay, and woven blankets to hides. The Vadnais Lake area was still part of the Wisconsin Territory when the Vadnais, Garceau and Bibeau

families arrived in 1846. The triangle of land between the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers was called St. Croix County. It had been ceded to the United States by the Ojibwe in 1837 and was the only part of the Minnesota area open for settlement. Everything to the west of the Mississippi was Indian Territory. The Dakota lived alongside the Lake Vadnais settlers fairly peaceably for the 16 years preceding the Dakota War of 1862. They gathered cranberries and sold them at the St. Paul market during the 1850s. They are said to have led Ben Gervais to the site of Little Canada and told him it would make a good home. That did not mean they would stop hunting. In the winter of 1853, Little Crow and many of his band camped at White Bear Lake and killed many deer. Celine Garceau Belland told tales of how the Dakota would come to the house and look through the windows to see what they were doing. The Kohler family spoke of the day a group of Dakota first heard their grandfather clock striking. The Indians were fascinated with the chimes and the pendulum. They came in to see the clock and they wanted something to eat. All the family had to give them was cheese. The Dakota each took a piece, chewed it and spat it out, disgusted by the taste. After the cheese tasting, they seldom came again. Midway through the Civil War in the summer of 1862, the Dakota Indians of western Minnesota attacked settlements in the New Ulm area. Chief Little Crow of the Kaposia band near St. Paul played a reluctant but prominent role in the war that created over 7,000 displaced settlers. Some settlers were killed. Soldiers were diverted from the Civil War to quell the uprising. Locally, Henry Lambert, Lucius Dunn, David Bibeau, N.P. Barnum, John Cardinal, William Freeman, Ben Gervais Jr., Joseph Kohler, Paul Labore, Thomas Milner, Sylvan Nadeau, Alex Pepin and Xavier Paul joined the Ramsey County Picket Guards. The Dakota were not allowed to return to their ancestral homes. That year, the Dakota and Winnebago tribes were relocated to land along the Missouri River, and their ringleaders were hanged. Little Crow died in an ambush. Later, many Dakota filtered back.

HISTORY LESSON: 280-year-old marker tree serves as school’s textbook FROM PAGE 1A

according to local historian Mary Jane LaVigne. Some of the tree was removed, some was milled for use and a limb that pointed to Manitou Island is currently sitting at the historic Fillebrown House on Lake Avenue, Hanson noted. Lane’s class research on the cross-section, called a cookie, could be used for future education in the area, she added. “It was really sad when the tree went down,” Hanson remembered. “To be able to take the tree cookie and have it continue to teach us or tell us something is really kind of cool.” “Why don’t we tell the stories of the trees?” Lane said, who has been incorporating land ethics into his teaching. Students in Lane’s environmental science class have been studying trees for several years, he said. It began by students surveying trees on campus. Two years ago, students also began to study tree rings. Last year, Mayor Judson Marshall, local historians Rand Kluegal and Sara Markoe Hanson spoke about the history of the community and students began to make connections between tree history and people history. This year, the story of the fallen bur oak was incorporated into the classroom. Students explored the connections between the fallen tree, local living trees and the people who lived in the area, using the help of local historians, Lane said. Senior Cheyanne Simpson learned the area was used for farming by people who worked in the Stillwater logging industry. “I learned just about how much the land was changed by people who lived here about 100 years ago,” said senior Claire Zophy. She learned that what she thought was two ponds by her house was actually one lake until a road ran through Lost Lake. Zophy is planning

to major in environmental science. She said Lane’s style of teaching influenced the college she chose to attend. Hegedus said she learned how to date living trees by learning about the growth rates of different types of trees and measuring their circumference. The oldest tree the class found on school grounds was a white oak dating to the 1830s. It is next to the school’s outdoor classroom. “I definitely look at trees differently now,” Hegedus noted, who is taking the environmental science class for the second time as an independent study option. She has been focusing on a special research project to promote outdoor education and has presented her findings across the district. She also presented her research

on the benefit of incorporating the outdoors into class at a school board meeting May 11.

Taking education outdoors Hegedus said she has been in the district since first grade but the first time she experienced class outdoors was in Lane’s environmental science class. At the high school, an outdoor classroom is available but very few teachers use it, she noted. “Anything can be taught outside, really,” Hegedus said. “We have amazing access to the outdoors at all of our schools.” Through her research of various studies, Hegedus learned being outside supports creativity, enhances learning, supports creativity and decreases

stress. A study at the University of Utah revealed when people go outside the prefrontal cortex in the brain relaxes and helps people “think outside the box,” she said. A study of 85 students in Sweden and Australia revealed students who were taught outside remembered more details six months later, she added. A study at the Korean Institute of Radiology showed the amygdala — the part of the brain responsible for fear and anxiety — had less blood flow when subjects viewed a photo of nature. Hegedus also surveyed students in her class and determined their stress levels seemed to be reduced when they went outside. “Basically, going outside reduces stress,” Hegedus concluded, encouraging the school board and administration to determine how it can incorporate the outdoors into education. The environmental science class goes outdoors at least once a week, sometimes every day, she said. Environmental science students created a raingarden on the east side of the school last year, Hegedus said. In 2013, the class built a prairie restoration area. This year, students transferred prairie plants from the site to a new area on the east side of the school because the prairie restoration area is going to be used for storage of equipment, students said. “Our goal is to save the prairie,” said senior Grace Neumiller. Last school year, the outdoor classroom and woods studied by the students were threatened by a possible parking lot expansion but an option that would not destroy them was chosen by the school board after students described the importance of the trees to their education.

Baseball completes memory box A neighbor of Chad and Tonya Grunewald of White Bear Township shared this story after hearing it at the Bald Eagle Lake Area Association dinner last month. The neighbor, Mike Doran, thought baseball fans might find it interesting: “It was 2004 and Joe Mauer made the Minnesota Twins as a rookie catcher from St. Paul. That same year the Grunewalds welcomed their son Mckade into their family. It was these serendipitous events that led Chad to buy Joe’s rookie league card to put into Mckade’s memory box hoping that he’d appreciate it later in life. “Fast-forward 13 years and Chad spotted an autographed Joe Mauer baseball at the recent Bald Eagle Area Association's annual dinner and fundraiser held on April 25 at Dellwood Country Club. He knew he had to have it to give to his son to complete the memory box.” Dad paid $70 for the ball. Submitted

Water-efficient appliance rebates are back WHITE BEAR LAKE — There is still time to get a rebate on water-saving appliances. The city has received an additional $10,000 from the Metropolitan Council as part of its water efficiency grant program. The goal is to encourage water conservation. Residents who purchase a WaterSense toilet can qualify for a $200 rebate; an Energy Star washing machine is $150 and a WaterSense irrigation control, $200. This gives residents a second chance to get the rebate; funds from the fi rst round ran out last January. The initial funding saved an estimated 5.4 million gallons of water, mostly through more efficient toilets. Residents installed 270 WaterSense-certified toilets that saved 19,554 gallons in flushes. City Council agreed to renew the program, which is administered by City Clerk Kara Coustry, at its May 9 meeting. Mayor Jo Emerson urged everyone to take advantage of the rebate. There is an expiration date, however. The program ends June 30. Debra Neutkens

Former Bears coach to enter Seniors Hall of Fame with softball team Al Peterson, longtime White Bear Lake teacher and coach, was part of a 2001 national seniors champion softball team that will be inducted into the Minnesota Senior Sports Hall of Fame. Peterson, 82, played outfield for Minnesota Legends when they won national tournaments in both Colorado and Las Vegas that year. He played fast-pitch softball in Scandia for many years before getting involved in seniors slow-pitch softball. The Duluth native played hockey for University of Minnesota-Duluth before joining the White Bear Lake faculty in 1965 as a history and social studies

teacher and junior high hockey coach. He became head coach for White Bear Lake in 1982. Robyn Peterson said she will accept the plaque for her husband, who is suffering from dementia and will be unable to attend. The program will take place Friday, May 19 at Jimmy’s in White Bear Lake, starting 5:30 p.m. with social hour. Among the inductees this year will be Mark Sertich, the hockey-playing 84-year-old Duluth man recently featured on ESPN. The master of ceremonies will be Dick Jonkowski.

WHITE BEAR SPORTS BRIEFS Bear softball enjoys best week, topping Stillwater and CDH Eden Ambrose pitched the shutout as White Bear Lake softball knocked off a top-10 team, Stillwater, 4-0 there Tuesday. “Great win over the No. 9 ranked team in the state,” said coach Kaity Wightman. “The girls played really great softball.” Bailey Letourneau belted three doubles in two games as the Bears (6-9) also beat Cretin-Derham Hall (CDH) 8-7 in nine innings. Ambrose, senior right-hander, struck out seven and yielded only two hits to Stillwater, which was 10-2 entering the game. Letourneau led off the game with a double, walked twice and scored two runs. Beth Lilygren delivered two hits, two RBIs and a run. Kaitlyn Barger had two hits. The Bears rallied past CDH Thursday with Maddy Bates driving home the game-winner in bottom of the ninth.

“We started out pretty slow and gave them a good lead,” Wightman said. “But the girls did a great job of playing inning by inning, chipping away and getting back into the game.” Punching two hits each were Letourneau (both doubles), Barger, Bates and Parker Nordstrom. Ambrose got the win in relief of Nordstrom.

Bears win streak reaches five in boys lacrosse White Bear Lake lacrosse is riding a five-game win streak after beating Cretin-Derham Hall 9-8 and Rochester Mayo 14-6 last week. Kyle Preslaski led the Bears (11-6), pumping in five goals against CDH and six more against Mayo. Ethan Menne notched three goals and Jack McKeague, Jacob Leclair and Erick Bloom two each for the week, with William Lemire stout in the nets.

MAHTOMEDI SPORTS BRIEFS Zephyrs in middle of pace at true-team track sectional The Mahtomedi girls placed fourth and the boys fifth among nine schools in the Section 5AA true-team track meet Wednesday, May 10 in White Bear Lake. Kaleb Siekmeier had Mahtomedi’s only two first-places as he raised his school record in discus to 184-11 while also winning shot put with 54-7. Kylie Krawczyk led the Zephyr girls scoring with third-place finishes in 300 hurdles (47.86) and triple jump (34-1 1/2), seventh in 100 hurdles (16.86) and 11th in long jump (15-7). In true team, each individual event has 27 entrants, with scoring from 27 down to one. Relays count more, with first getting 36, second 32, third 28 and so on. Nicole Hemstad took sixth in 100 hurdles (16.68) and 300 hurdles (49.13). Others in top 10 were Sophie Frisbie, fourth in pole vault (10-6); Sarah Stellmach, sixth in the 400 dash (1:03.7); Eve Farrell, sixth in high jump (5-0);

against H-M’s Cody Peterson. “Everyone has contributed with a hit here and there. Too many ‘at-em’ balls that haven't been able to find a hole,” said coach John Hardgrove. The players are bearing down physically and mentally, the coach said, and the hitting should eventually catch up the solid defense and pitching. “We are going through a little lull, hopefully followed by an upswing. The game is cyclical and we are due to break out.”

Zephyr boys lacrosse tops Tartan in duel for lead Zephyr nine has tough week despite pitching well Mahtomedi continues to get well-pitched games in baseball while struggling to score runs, slipping to 8-7 after starting the season 7-2. Last week, the Zephyrs lost to Simley 3-1 with Grant Taival taking the loss, to South St. Paul 4-2 with Jack Schweitz pitching, and to Hill-Murray 1-0 with Carter Shook the hard-luck loser

Mahtomedi boys lacrosse edged Tartan 11-0 in a duel for first place last Tuesday, then tripped Hastings 18-8 Thursday and Prior Lake 9-8 Saturday in a busy week. The No. 6 ranked Zephyrs (10-1 overall) are 5-0 in the Suburban East and Tartan is 4-1.

Basics on greenside wedges, Part I So many times I hear golfers say something like “my goal is to break 100/90/80 this year.” I get that, but as I always remind them, a score is not a goal. A goal is something you have a realistic chance of attaining. In my opinion, Tee Time the best place to start is with your wedges from Betsy 50 yards in. Larey The thing about hitting less than full swing shots is this: it boils down to a lack of knowledge and a lack of confidence. The confidence part will come when you understand what you’re trying to do and can repeat it. There are two basic shots you need in your bag, a lower running chip shot and a higher lofted pitch shot. Once you get these two down, you can expand and include low, medium and high pitch. For our purpose here, I’ll limit it to the basic two shots. Here’s what I see the average golfer doing when they try to hit a basic chip shot. The weight is on left side, open stance, spine tilts back towards the ball, ball position is off the back foot (right

foot for right handed), hands forward. The stroke is made with the shoulders, keeping the hands forward. Very little wrist and the clubhead stays close to the ground. Here’s the problem that most golfers have with this shot. The club goes straight back and outside the target line and the only way to hit it is to tilt your shoulders back, away from the ball and scoop it with your hands. The miss is going to be hitting it thin or fat. Next, this is what I see most golfers do when attempting a pitch shot. The setup is neutral (weight equal on both feet, left shoulder higher than right, ball position middle of stance). The stroke is made with arms only on the way back with a wrist hinge, then a weight transfer on the forward swing with an abbreviated finish. In other words, short back swing and short follow through with a big arm swing. The problem with this concept is the average player tries to move the arms faster and pull on the grip end of the club on the downswing to generate clubhead speed. If you do this, you’ll probably end up at impact with an open clubface which causes you to hit shots high and short. In other words, too much arm swing and not enough body pivot.

There’s got to be an easier and more consistent way to hit these shots. And the good news is there is. The way I teach these shots is pretty simple. You are going to use your body pivot to make the swing, and you are going to use your arms and hands to control the face of the club. The club needs to stay on plane, and with the correct set up it will. What I like the most about this method is the stance is similar for both shots and the shot is made with the body pivot. It all starts with the right set up, and from what I mentioned above I firmly believe that’s why so many players have a hard time hitting wedges. You will also need to have the right clubs in your bag, which I will address in next weeks’ column. For your greenside shots, you’re set up looks like this: Start with a narrow stance, slightly closed (right foot pulled back). With the pitch shot, your stance will be slightly wider than the chip. Your weight will be on your left side, with your spine tilting to the left. The easiest way to do this is to let your left elbow bend slightly. Your shoulders will be perfectly level. The grip should always be in your fingers, not your palms. The biggest obsta-

cle for most people is to relax your body. If there is tension anywhere (especially your hands) it makes it hard to have a consistent swing. Here’s the difference between the chip and the pitch. In the chip shot, the ball is played a couple of inches inside the left heel with a slight forward press. This takes a little loft off of the club. With the pitch, the ball is played closer to the left heel, with a more neutral shaft (very little lean towards the target). This will let the full loft of the club do the work. So these are the basics for the bread and butter greenside shots. In my next column, I’ll discuss what clubs you need and how to make the swings work.

MAHTOMEDI SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The Mahtomedi School Board took the following action at its May 11 meeting: • Recognized Audrey Anfang, student representative to the School Board. She received a bell. • Kirsten Bouwens recognized School Board member Julie McGraw for her work on the O.H. Anderson Elementary nature trail. McGraw taught students and staff about buckthorn removal and brought horses to the school. • Terminated two probationary staff contracts. • Approved continuing contracts for 11 probationary staff. Gifted and talented coordinator Jennifer Israel's contract decision was moved to the end of the meeting after board member Stacey Stout expressed concern about addressing the O.H. Anderson and open enrollment fi rst. Board member Mike Chevalier voted against putting off the decision. • Approved 14 probationary staff contracts to continue to the 2017 to 2018 school year. School counselor Dawn Walker's contract decision was also moved to the end of the meeting. Chevalier again voted against putting off the decision. • Approved a gifted and talented identification process developed by Israel. Having an identification plan is required by state law. Students scoring in the 98th and 99th percentile in grade-appropriate testing will be identified in elementary school as a gifted learner, according to Israel. Students will be tested with the CogAT assessment in fi rst and fourth grade. It is a pictorial assessment, so language barriers are not an issue. The annual cost will be about

$4,000. Other tests and observations will also be taken into account. Current students in fourth grade and older can be recommended for a test. The identification process may have to change if Israel's position is not kept, said Lynne Viker, director of learning and accountability. Parents with gifted and talented students have expressed a desire for more services, Viker added. • Denied enrollment to 13 fi rst-priority applications for third, fourth and fi fth grades at this time. Superintendent Mark Larson recommended the board accept the students in order to balance the district's budget. The 13 students would cause third-grade class sizes to be about two students above the metro average, fourthgrade class sizes to be about one student below and fi fth grade to be about one student above. If the students are not accepted and the Legislature does not increase its allocation this year, additional budget reductions at O.H. Anderson would be required to make up about $60,000. Adding the students would put next year's total enrollment projections at 3,287, Larson said. Current numbers are 3,221. The board voted 2-4 on the motion to approve the students. Chevalier and Judith Schwartz voted to accept the students. Kevin Donovan, Julie McGraw, Lucy Payne and Stacey Stout voted not to accept the students. “I think we owe it to the current students not to increase their class size,” Stout said. “I don't want to see people lose their jobs,” Chevalier said. “I feel like accepting the students is prema-

ture,” McGraw noted. “Principals say there is room and space without jeopardizing outcomes for students,” Schwartz added. “I'd be okay with waiting until June,” Donovan said. “I'm hesitant to approve it with the budget situation from the state not settled,” Payne added. The Board will readdress the applications in June during its next open enrollment window. • Pushed the decision for a continuing contract with Israel until June. Chevalier and Schwartz commented that the contract should be approved right away. The approval failed 3-3. During the School Board reports portion of the meeting, Stout, who voted to delay the contract decision, reported that parents have expressed concern with the gifted and talented program and several told her they are considering transferring to another district. The parents were not necessarily impressed with the changes planned for this fall, she added. “I think people wanted to see changes yesterday,” she said. The district has gone through periods of time with no gifted and talented coordinator in the past, Viker noted. Payne noted the board will discuss the whole picture of the program, the school's budget and enrollment at a study session in May or June. • Approved a continuing contract with Walker.

WHITE BEAR SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The White Bear Lake Area School Board took the following action at its May 8 meeting: • Recognized Bryana Sherrick, student representative to the School Board, and alternate Hakeem Martins. Bryana sat with the School Board all school year. Both students recently completed a research project on addressing diversity in the district. • Held a reading on proposed new and changed school board policies. Policy 504, student dress and appearance, took out specific examples of too-revealing clothing. It also added specific examples of inappropriate messages or images that students are prohibited from wearing at school or school events, including the Confederate fl ag, swastika and KKK signs. Policy 903, visitors, was reworked based on advice from the Minnesota School Board Association and legal counsel. Parents are allowed to visit their children at school for up to two hours twice per year, or

more if approved by a principal. The visit needs to be scheduled three days in advance. New policy 620 outlines how the district can recognize student achievement at other schools and learning programs. Policy 214, dealing with out-of-state travel by board members, had no significant changes proposed. • Approved one polling place for the area of the district in Lino Lakes. Three precincts will be combined into one. The Lino Lakes polling place for the School Board election in November will be at Living Waters Lutheran Church. The fi ling period for candidates is May 16 to 30. • Approved a renewal quote with Dakota Truck Underwriters for the district's workers compensation insurance. The renewal premium is $580,000 for the 2017 to 2018 school year, a nearly 18 percent reduction. • Transferred the Lionmobile to NewTrax for $4,000, 20 percent of the appraised price of $20,000.

The money will go to the White Bear Lake Area Schools Senior Program. The school district originally paid about 20 percent of the price as a 5310 provider and the agreement ensures the state of Minnesota will retain the appropriate value of the vehicle. NewTrax is also a 5310 provider. The $5,400 donated to purchase a new vehicle will be returned to the Lions Club. NewTrax plans to start an independent program offering transportation to seniors. A new area guide for senior transportation has just been printed, said Tara Jebens-Singh, adult program coordinator. • Approved $11,400 in E3 environmental grants from the White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation. About 600 students at Matoska International Elementary and Willow Lane Elementary will be impacted. • Terminated contracts with nine probationary teachers due to fi nancial limitations, teachers returning from leave, reduction in

need, contractual or other issues. • Approved an updated joint powers agreement with East Metro Integration District 6067. The district is a way for multiple districts to share resources. • Approved reviewed school board policies. Policy 501, school weapons policy; policy 707, transportation of public school students; and policy 709, student transportation. Policy 710, extracurricular transportation, was modified to include a note that the school district may charge fees for optional extracurricular activities. Policy 904, distribution of materials on school district property for nonschool persons, was changed to include information requiring politically balanced materials and equal time given to presenters from opposing parties. Campaign literature also can only be distributed on school property during nonschool hours unless it is an approved speaker. Sara Marie Moore

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Service projects are a key component to being a Bear. Students in the district were the second-largest contributor to the White Bear Lake Area Emergency Food Shelf (WBLAEF) in 2016, said White Bear Lake Area High School student council member Maddy Rivard. The student council collected 14,500 pounds of food and donated $5,000 to the food shelf. The student council also raised $3,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation at South Campus alone. Two Little Free Libraries were also installed by the Rotary Interact Club South Campus Ambassadors at Willow Lane Elementary through a $500 grant from Rotary eClub One. Students painted the libraries and decorated them with bears, Rivard said. The ambassadors also make care packages for the homeless and volunteer with various organizations. Two blood drives were sponsored by the National Honor Society. Students also made meals for families with children at St. Paul Children's Hospital. Students start service projects young. The Oneka Elementary Bears Official Service Superheroes (BOSS) group did various service projects, students reported. “We scare hunger and we won't rest,” said two students. “On Halloween we go around asking for canned goods instead of candy,” a student said. Students also donate

Students wrote stories and made comics for people in hospitals and care centers. On the last day of school every year, students walk for a cause. BOSS was formed about four years ago. Lakeaires Elementary students also raised about $2,300 for Pennies for Patients, according to Sara Paul, assistant superintendent for teaching and learning, and Jill Pearson, teaching and learning coordinator. Lincoln Elementary students raked yards for neighbors, made fleece blankets for infants with one parent, made care packages for Meals on Wheels recipients and delivered May Day baskets to Cerenity Care Center. Birch Lake Elementary extended-day students also delivered May Day baskets, according to Paul and Pearson. Students at Birch Lake plan to host an art show 4 to 5:30 p.m. May 19; funds raised will go to the Animal Humane Society. Students will also sell handmade pet toys the following week. Lincoln Elementary extended-day students held a similar sale already and raised $300 for the Animal Humane Society. Otter Lake Elementary extended-day students made animal toys and donated them to the Woodbury Humane Society. A craft and bake sale also raised $400 for the WBLAEF. Vadnais Heights Elementary extended-day students collected items for animals and donated them to the Animal Humane Society. Sunrise Park Middle School students sold bracelets

and cocoa to raise awareness about sexual abuse, students said. “Half of our profits went to women who are in need in Kenya,” said a student. The funds will be used to help them start micro-enterprise businesses. The other half of the funds went to an abuse hotline. The “Cocoa for Communication” booth also helped people become more comfortable with the topic, students noted. Sunrise Park Middle School students researched and implemented ways to address needs in their community for their International Baccalaureate community project, according to Paul and Pearson. One group held a photo booth during lunch and encouraged all students to wear red to raise awareness of heart disease. AVID students at North Campus held a shoe drive and the North Campus Ambassadors volunteered at the Tubman Center, according to Paul and Pearson. Students at the Area Learning Center donated handmade toys to an animal shelter. “You are an inspiration to us — students across the district that take these projects and really put their hearts into them,” Paul said. Several students presented school service projects to the School Board May 8. “I know your parents and your grandparents and your neighbors helped raise all those thousands of pounds of things and so you gave everybody a good feeling for getting involved. It takes someone with some spirit and fire to do it, so thank you,” said board member Marge Newmaster. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

Too hot? It was another fantastic weekend! For a combination of fishing opener and Mother’s Day, you really couldn’t have asked for more ideal conditions, but was it too hot on Mother’s Day? Don’t get me wrong; I’m not complaining, but I kind of liked last weekend when highs were in the upper 60’s vs. the 81° we had on Sunday. It’s been about a week without rain, so hopefully the rain forecasted for this week pans out.

Local moms befriend each other online

BY JULIA ARNOLD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Rachael Atkinson and Kate Zvareck gave birth to their first babies within nine days of each other and have spent many days together since then. Zvareck and her husband live in Circle Pines with their two young children, Levi and Evelyn, and Atkinson resides in Shoreview with her husband and her son, Isaac. Zvareck started the “Northern ‘Burbs Mommies and Babies” meetup group in 2014 when her son was just 2 months old. Atkinson joined in to help orchestrate it. Since then, approximately 80 mothers from Blaine, Shoreview, White Bear Lake, Circle Pines and other metro-area cities have come together to forge friendships, explore the Twin Cities and socialize with their young children.

Filling a need Zvareck and Atkinson think their group fills a need in the community. Zvareck explained, “I started the group because I knew there were other mommies out there in need of community, ready to connect, but had a hard time finding a network of moms close to where I lived ... starting this group has been one of the most powerful things in my life.” At their frequent organized outings and playdates, Atkinson said moms come “looking for support for random parenting questions and with a need to vent to people who will understand. Motherhood can be a lonely place,” she added. “I would not have survived without this kind of group.” Coon Rapids resident Shannon Williams, a mom of three, echoed the organizers' sentiments: “Having a support system that rallies around one another is something that can be hard to find these days ... I love doing life with these moms!”

Online and face-to-face connections The moms group uses online tools such as Facebook and Meetup.com to help organize events. Zvareck explained, “our Meetup.com site serves as a launchpad ... as soon as a mama has an idea, they are encouraged

to post a meetup. Our Facebook group serves as a great communication tool for impromptu play dates, recipe exchanges, parenting questions/tips/vents, sharing articles, check-ins, etc.” Members take turns hosting playdates and music classes at their homes and at various local parks, also venturing to farther destinations like the Minnesota Zoo and the Science Museum. The fall activities at Waldoch Farm in Lino Lakes and the summer fun at Lakeside Common Park in Blaine are seasonal favorites.

Moms night out Members have gained something beyond playdates and music classes. Zvareck also started the Mama Circle, a moms-only night where group members relax and enjoy conversation. Coon Rapids resident and mother of two, Magdalena Aguero, loves these social evenings. She said, “Our mom’s nights out are the best! We have a chance to meet and talk about whatever is in our heads ... Sometimes the couple hours away from home and kids is all that we need to get back and give another 110 percent to family.” Maplewood resident Holly Sagstetter appreciates the advice and support she receives from fellow mothers at these gatherings and noted, “I like this group because it keeps me from Googling all of my parenting questions and allows me to learn from real-life parents.” These busy mothers also find time to give back to the community. They recently added Feed My Starving Children shifts to the monthly calendar.

Join the fun Atkinson highly recommends joining a group like this for anyone navigating new parenthood. She emphasized the importance of finding “people you can bounce ideas with. Anything that can ease the journey of parenthood.” Zvareck reflected on the value of being a part of this special network too. “My wildest imagination didn’t even scrape the surface of the possibility of authentic community that was possible ... with this group. It’s truly a lesson on the power of the butterfly effect, how one small decision can be so powerful and inspire

Daughter continues 70-year-old dental legacy BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

As downtown businesses reach milestone anniversaries in White Bear Lake, yet another is celebrating impressive longevity. A dental practice started by Dr. Peter Kappel is still open 70 years after he put up his sign in 1947. The practice was one of maybe two in town at the time. When Kappel's daughter Suzanne joined him in 1993, the name was changed to Manitou Dental Care. Today, she is the sole proprietor of the practice, which remains in the Third Street building her father bought two years after arriving in White Bear Lake. Peter Kappel was a North Dakota farm boy who graduated from the University of Minnesota dental school in 1947 and promptly moved to White Bear Lake. His daughter, Dr. Suzanne Kappel-Geib, isn't sure why her father chose the city, but recalls him saying that two dentists was one too many for some people. Nowadays there are at least six dental practices in the downtown area with two more within city limits.

DEBRA NEUTKENS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Dr. Suzanne Kappel-Geib with a photo of her father Dr. Peter Kappel.

“It's nuts,” Kappel-Geib observed. “There are so many dentists. But my dad was one of the first.” Her father died in 1998 after suffering

a massive heart attack on a trip with his wife Marie for Catholic Charities. He was 75 and still seeing patients, Kappel-Geib said. “He was golfing and doing everything he loved. It was so unexpected.” Growing up, her family lived across the street from St. Pius X Catholic Church, which was their home parish. Her mom died a year ago. Kappel-Geib has two older siblings, a brother and sister, who both live in Vadnais Heights. Proud of her deep roots in White Bear, Kappel-Geib started working at her dad's practice while in high school at Hill-Murray. She went into dental hygiene first, noting her interests in the profession “evolved” into a desire to become a dentist the more she learned. She graduated from Marquette University's dental school in '93 and immediately went into partnership with her father. She also got married that year to Jerry Geib, a civil engineer for MnDOT, and in the decade to follow, had four children. She describes herself as very family oriented and runs her practice the same way, with emphasis on cosmetic and family dentistry. While the second generation dentist

manages to juggle a busy family life with her practice, she also carves out time to volunteer at St. Jude of the Lake Church and dabble in Republican politics. A Dellwood resident, Kappel-Geib served as Republican precinct chairman and helped Rep. Matt Dean in his re-election. She expects to volunteer in his run for governor as well. She also enjoys hobbies like showing her canine pal Dolce, a 5-year-old Papillon, golf, horseback riding and travel. Looking out the large picture window from her cozy, well-furnished waiting room, Kappel-Geib names some of the old businesses on the street she remembers while she was growing up. Sassafras Health Food Store across the street was Linden's Pharmacy. It had a soda fountain and lunch counter. Washington Square Bar & Grill was a Texaco gas station and then a pet store. One building that has remained the same is the dental office at 2189 Third St. To celebrate its 70 years as a practice, Manitou Dental Care is hosting an open house. There will be appetizers and beverages and a raffle for teeth whitening. The event is 2 to 5 p.m. Friday, May 19.

A Salon Cheveaux stylist, Tarralynn, volunteered to wear the heavy pop can tab cape. It took almost a year to collect the 10,000 tabs with help from friends.

Recycled water warrior

SEH celebrates 90 years

The group at Salon Cheveaux used their creative skills in an innovative way for a special fashion show. Each year Aveda Institute hosts a runway show inviting Aveda Salons from around the state to help raise money for Earth Month. Salons use recycled material to create runway-style looks. The White Bear Lake salon chose a Water Warrior theme to represent hard-working women of Madagascar who walk 6 kilometers a day to access clean water for their family. Salon employees, led by owner Chris Dittberner, cut and bent about 10,000 pop can tabs to make the cape during breaks. Old window screen was sewn for a skirt and belt and they used Aveda color tubes for the shoulders and bodice. “Everything had to come from trash,” Dittberner said. They chose music from the theme “The Vikings,” after a TV series on HBO for the runway walk. The costume is on display at the salon at the moment but the pop tab cape will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House.

Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH), an engineering, architecture, environmental and planning company headquartered in Vadnais Heights, celebrated 90 years in business this month. The business started as a one-person operation in North St. Paul in 1927 and now is located in 42 states and has over 800 employee-owners. “It’s because of their hard work millions of people benefit from roads and highways that are made more safe; water now clean to drink, to swim in and to enjoy; downtowns and waterfronts that now thrive; safe bridges; businesses (that) prosper and an improved quality of life,” said CEO and President Sam Claassen.

Kellogg's closing Vadnais distribution center Kellogg Company announced it will close its distribution center in Vadnais Heights due to a change in its snacks sales and distribution model, according to a letter from the company. About 200 employees will be permanently laid off in July and August.

Motorcycle business rumbles into Centerville BY SHANNON GRANHOLM CITIZEN EDITOR

CENTERVILLE –– Whether it’s a need for a pre-owned motorcycle, winter cycle storage, a complete rebuild or a tire or battery change, residents now have a place to turn. Rumble Motor Sports, located at 2030 Main St. in Centerville, opened its doors April 1 after moving from Spring Lake Park, where it has been located since its founding in 2012. “That location was getting way too small to do what we wanted to do. We didn’t have a big parking lot, we didn’t have room to expand, we weren’t off of a major road,” co-owner Gary Spanier explained. “A lot of our customer base is from this area … Centerville, Hugo, Circle Pines, Lino Lakes, Blaine — and this is a great location with Main Street.” Gary co-owns the business with his brother Kurt; his son Matt is a mechanic/ technician. Jason Clampit of Kokesh Motorcycles is also a mechanic/technician, after Rumble Motor Sports purchased Clampit’s business four years ago. “Matt was really the catalyst, because he was going to Bemidji State University and decided he wasn’t going to be the business guy. He always liked working with his hands,” Gary said. “We decided collectively we should get into the automotive industry.” What began as a “small repair shop” has turned into a full-service shop. They can do oil changes, transmission, brakes, electrical, accessories installation, exhaust, batteries, handlebar installations and more. The business has many preowned motorcycles of all brand names on display available for purchase and offers a full line of leather and accessories. The business is also a Dunlop Pro dealer, meaning customers get bigger discounts on tires. “Our labor pricing hasn’t changed

Press Publications recognizes the need for the community to become familiar with their local and surrounding businesses when it’s time to look for employment opportunities. Let us highlight why your company is a great place to work! Reaching over 100,000 readers in print and digital THE BEST SOURCE FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES White Bear Press, Vadnais Heights Press, Quad Community Press, Shoreview Press, Forest Lake Lowdown, St. Croix Valley Lowdown and The Citizen

since we opened. We have all of the repair manuals and all of the latest and greatest diagnostic equipment. Everything you can think of to have done, we can certainly have it done,” Gary said. “People go to these factory stores and they are overpaying and without their motorcycles for so long. That is one of the main reasons why we opened this business.” They pride themselves in getting the motorcycles in and out in a timely fashion. “There is no traditional two-week wait for your motorcycle. We don’t want to keep them here, we want you to have them,” Gary said. Honesty is important. “We don’t want to tell people things that aren’t true, so we never want to over promise and under deliver,” Kurt said. The business also offers winter storage from Oct.1-April 15. Rumble Motor Sports will store motorcycles at its Spring Lake Park location in a climate-controlled building. While the bikes are in storage, customers receive a 10 percent discount on any service. Battery tenders are also hooked up so batteries remain fully charged. While getting the building ready to open, Gary and Kurt have kept everything local, including paving, electrical and the garage doors. “That has been the goal all along. How can we support the community and in turn build long-lasting relationships?” Kurt said. Rumble Motor Sports also does ATV repair and next spring the business hopes to build another building to start selling them. The business will hold a grand opening June 24. It also plans on doing a “support our troops” event in July or August with the Army recruiting office in Blaine. For more information, visit http://www. therumblehouse.com/. Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or citizen@presspubs.com.
