A cold start to the fishing opener

Overcoming cystic fibrosis BY JULIE KINK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

A trio of die-hard anglers on Bald Eagle Lake look like they might have kept some of their ice ﬁshing gear handy to deal with the windy and near freezing conditions that started off the Minnesota State Fishing Opener Saturday, May 14. The walleye ﬁshing was reported to be spotty at best on Saturday and a little better on Sunday.

355 days. That’s the amount of free time Matt Todd figures he’s gained since a double lung transplant in 2008 freed him from having to spend 45 minutes, four times a day, clearing his airways so he could breathe. The cumbersome bronchial drainage therapy is required for people with cystic fibrosis (CF). When he was younger, his mom called it “beatup.” “The therapy consisted of inhaling a medication and then we would ‘beat’ on different locations of his chest and back to loosen mucus in his lungs,” Meg Todd recalled. “About the time he was in eighth grade, they came out with ‘the vest’ which allowed Matt to do the therapy on his own.” In people with CF, a defective gene causes a thick buildup of mucus in the lungs and other organs, clogging airways and trapping bacteria. It leads to infections, extensive lung damage and, eventually, respiratory failure. The mucus also prevents the release of digestive enzymes in the pancreas, causing malnutrition and poor growth. In the U.S., about 30,000 people are living with the life-threatening disease, according to the CF Foundation. When he was diagnosed at 3 months old, Matt’s parents knew nothing about the disease. Because CF is genetic, their doctor advised Meg and her husband Dale not to have more children. Matt soon began a regimen of twice-daily bronchial therapy and medications.

Two alumni inducted into Wall of Fame

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A climatologist living in Virginia and a choir director who spent most of her career in Canada are being inducted into the White Bear Lake Area Alumni Association Wall of Fame May 18. Honorees Gerald Dittberner, Class of 1959, and the late Diane Kolander Loomer, Class of 1958, were nominated by community members and chosen by a committee of school and city leaders. According to coordinator Steve Johnson, selection criteria since its inception in 1992 include career accomplishments, community service and a commitment to lifelong learning. Some of the inductees are strong contributors to the White Bear community. Others have had national and international impact.

Gerald J. Dittberner Class of 1959

Following an active high school career where he excelled in math and physics, Dittberner earned an electrical engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. He went on to earn a master’s degree in Space Science, Engineering & Meteorology and a Ph.D. in climatology from the University of Wisconsin, all while serving in the U.S. Air Force. After spending 21 years in the military, retiring as a lieutenant colonel, the White Bear Lake native worked in the aerospace industry and the National

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). He was a weather satellite program manager for the launching of four weather satellites that provide pictures and video we see on television. His continuing curiosity in engineering, space science and climate change led him to produce over 50 scientific and technical publications and presentations. He especially enjoys mentoring budding young scientists. Outside his professions, Dittberner has been active in the community serving as a precinct election officer. He has worked with local government, specifically with child-traffic safety measures. He also was a leader in the local Boy Scouts and still serves on advisory committees for NOAA on the future of weather satellites. "I call them gray beard committees," Dittberner said SEE WALL OF FAME, PAGE 8A

DISTRICT 624 SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The District 624 School Board took the following action at its May 9 meeting: • Recognized student liaisons to the school board, Kyra Renner and alternate Hannah Schulz, 12th-grade students at South Campus. “Thank you all for making my senior year the best,” said Renner. “It has set me up for success wherever I go.” • Heard reports on student trips. High school French students visited Meaux, France over spring break. Middle school students visited Costa Rica. • Held a first reading on changes to two school board policies: discipline and school district curriculum and instruction goals. The discipline policy has added definitions for dismissal, exclusion, expulsion and suspension. The school district curriculum and instruction goals policy made changes regarding federal law and the switch from the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). It also changed language to reflect state legislation, the World's Best Workforce. • Accepted $19,385 in E3 (Enhancing Environmental Experiences) grants from the White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation. • Accepted a $25,000 welding equipment grant from the Construction Careers Foundation (CCF). The grant made possible the purchase of a portable welding simulator which can be transferred between schools in the district. GuideWELD equipment was also purchased. • Approved the nonrenewal of 15 probationary teachers due to financial limitations, teachers returning from leave, reduction in need or performance. • Approved Indianhead Foodservice Distributor as its food vendor for the 2016-2017 school year, with the option to renew for up to four additional years. The estimated cost is $1.3 million. Three other vendors

DISTRICT 832 SCHOOL BOARD NOTES submitted proposals. Lowest cost was the most heavily weighted factor in the decision process. • Rejected a bid of $214,574 from Seating and Athletic Facility Enterprises (SAAFE) for replacement of the press box at the South Campus stadium. Only one bid was received for the work. The school board expressed reluctance to pay that price for a press box. Wayne Kazmierczak, assistant superintendent for finance and operations, said the current press box is 40 years old and is deteriorating. He said the price is in line for the metro area. The school board asked Kazmierczak to present more information on press box prices and the current status of the south campus press box at another meeting. The current bid was voted down by all members of the school board except Scott Wilson. • Approved changes to the following school board policies: student sex nondiscrimination, regarding changing the grievance reporting procedure notification person from “principal” to “responsible person,” to include buildings where no principal is on site. Organization of school calendar and school day, regarding inclusion of reference to school hours as well as days. Policies incorporated by reference, regarding the additional inclusion of employees in the policy. Religion, regarding an addition of reference to an addendum, which outlines how the superintendent should monitor whether religion has neither been advanced nor prohibited in its study. • Approved the 2015-2017 proposed paraprofessional bargaining agreement. The SEIU Local 284 School Service Employees Union representing the paraprofessionals of White Bear Lake Area Schools ratified the tentative agreement May 4. White Bear Lake Area Schools has about 170 paraprofessionals. Sara Marie Moore

The District 832 School Board took the following action at its May 12 meeting: • Recognized student liaison to the school board, Acadia Hegedus. • Heard a presentation on a scheduling change at the middle school. A Friday morning parent-teacher conference time block was changed to a staff development time block due to low parent attendance at that time of day. Very few complaints from parents were reported and the change will continue into the next school year. • Heard a presentation on a proposed scheduling change at the high school. A staff committee at the high school has researched and is proposing a “Lunch and Learn” program. Five minutes would be shaved off of each class period in order to make time for an extended lunch period. Students would have the option to receive tutoring, take makeup tests and participate in clubs during the lunch hour. The purpose of the program would be to reduce student stress and give struggling students more one-on-one support. A pilot program will begin in the fall if the committee continues to receive positive feedback. A staff survey has already been completed with 75 percent of staff in favor of the new schedule. A survey will be sent out to students and parents this week. • Held a second reading on one changed and one new policy — graduation requirements and food service student account management. The graduation requirements policy changed to include Minnesota graduation requirements in terms of science and social studies requirements. The new food service student account management policy will clarify procedures for notifying families when lunch accounts become low. Among the updates is student notification and an email alert option for families when balance hits $10. When the balance becomes $10 negative, contact with parents and guardians will be made. If the balance hits $50 negative, a courtesy meal of milk and cereal for breakfast and milk and a sandwich for lunch will be offered. Families may apply for free or reduced lunches at any time. • Awarded abatement bonds for parking lot construction in the amount of $8.1 million. Springsted, the district's financial advisor,

sold the bonds. The parking lots at O.H. Anderson Elementary, the District Education Center and the west parking lot of the high school will begin construction this summer. Construction of parking lots at the middle school and the east parking lot of the high school will take place in 2017. After construction of all lots is complete any remaining balance of the 8.1 million bond will be refunded to taxpayers. • Approved annually reviewed policies and four additional policies — conflict of interest, enrollment of nonresident students, instructional curriculum, and fund balance. In its conflict of interest policy, staff were identified among those not allowed to participate in “the selection, award or administration of a contract supported by federal award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest,” said Superintendent Mark Larson. In the enrollment policy, it added a third way to check residency. “In order to determine the eligibility of residency, voting records in the most recent election may be required,” said Larson. It also added information from the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) on requirements that students have only one residence. The home last occupied by both parents is considered the family's residence. In the instructional curriculum policy, the school board separated math and science in its list of required subject areas. In the fund balance policy, the school board softened language for measures to take if the fund balance fell below 8 percent. The board granted itself the ability to make budget cuts if the fund balance falls below 8 percent, instead of 7 percent. • Revised its 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school calendars to reflect a non-school day for seniors while ninth- to 11th-grade students take tests. The date for next year is April 19, 2017. • Revised its 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school calendars to remove student-teacher conferences on Friday mornings and replace the time block with staff development time. • Placed a high school business teacher on an unrequested leave of absence. Sara Marie Moore

SCHOOL BRIEFS Heritage Scholarship ($2,500/year). Students may receive anywhere between $1,000 to $5,000 per year and are eligible to receive this each year of their college careers, provided they maintain scholastic performance.

Students earn Math League National Award Eight third-grade students at O.H. Anderson Elementary School in the Mahtomedi district received a Math League National Award. O.H. Anderson Elementary School is one of 24 schools nationwide (out of 400 participating schools) to earn a perfect score of 108 in the Continental Math League contest. Continental Mathematics League is a national problem-solving competition that seeks to help students improve problem-solving skills. Throughout the school year, school teams at each grade level participate in 3-5 meets and are asked to solve six challenging problems per meet. The total points earned for the year determine final team results at the state, regional, and national levels.

Student receives Heritage scholarship Minnesota Masonic Charities (MMC) announced 80 recipients of its 2016 Scholarships Program. The nonprofit organization provides annual awards to some of the state’s most promising scholars. Carter Hill of Mahtomedi High School received the

Lesson in Politics

t has become clear that American people are frustrated with Washington DC. For many, the frustration has grown into anger which has been demonstrated by the large following that Trump and Bernie Sanders have created against the political establishment. Both parties have been unable to pass meaningful legislation for the American people. More blame goes to the Republicans who have controlled the House and the Senate for not getting things done. This is just two rings of the three ring circus that is going About the on. Our leaderless president has not been popular with either Town party and his eight years have Gene Johnson given us a sluggish economy, high debt, a loss of respect in international affairs and limited leadership with Congress. When Trump entered the race I thought we were in for a circus. Like carnival people, they introduce the circus to the respective cities by parading the elephants fi rst. Donald Trump has done a remarkable job of attracting attentionthe elephants-to the problems we face with little or no concern for political correctness. This has caught the attention of the American people of all ages and the many who have previously lost confidence in our system of governing. The third ring of the circus is the media. They haven’t had a clue of what American people on Main Street are frustrated with. Instead of researching and reporting the issues, they look to gossiping the negative aspect of each of the candidates. They seem to have their own agenda of who they think should be elected. Trump, with his visionary ability, has been able to take advantage of the media with off-the cuff-comments and ignoring the Washington insider expectations. Sanders is making an impact with young people as he challenges Clinton and the Obama policies. Sanders has a very liberal approach to this debt-laden country. He will make his mark at the Democratic convention. Clinton will be featured in Act Two or Three of the circus presentation. She and Trump will provide great entertainment as they have their past records re-run. There’s more to the story and it will play out over the summer. My expectation is the voters will be better informed, more will vote, and we possibly can reach a returning point where the government will serve the people as was constitutionally intended. We need more people working to pay taxes, not less. Don’t leave your seat. Two acts of the circus are yet to be performed. THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE is winding down with struggles with budget issues in the fi nal days. Transportation is the big issue. Please, Governor Dayton, don’t force a gasoline tax on the consumer. Work with all the departments to fi nd savings to gain the needed funding for the road and bridge repairs needed. Minnesotans fi nancial break has been the reduction of oil prices since the 2008 recession. Don’t reduce that. Also note Minnesota has a very high annual auto license tax. A portion of the budget surplus should be returned to taxpayers. Another portion should be set aside in a rainy day fund. Naturally there will be hundreds of non-budget bills passed. The impact is in the future. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

May is Mental Health Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. An entire month devoted to raising awareness around mental health and making it okay to talk about it. There are many illnesses and diseases that have a day, week or month devoted to awareness and education and that have a color associated with them. For mental health, the color is green. Green is the color of life and renewal. For NAMI Minnesota we look to Movers & the color green as a way to underShakers stand that we are Sue Abderholden well when both our mind and body are healthy and that recovery from a mental illness is possible with treatment and supports. We know that one in ﬁve Americans will be affected by a mental illness in their lifetime and thus nearly every Minnesotan has a family member or friend who has been impacted.

To help a family member or friend in recovery there are many options. We call mental illnesses the “no hot dish” illnesses. People don’t experience that community support of meals being brought over, cards and flowers sent, childcare help offered and more. In someone’s darkest moments it may be hard to reach out and ask for help. Take that extra step and communicate more with the individual and offer to help by offering something very specific. In your workplace promote better understanding and acceptance. Mental illnesses are common, treatable illnesses and likely to affect anyone. A supportive environment can make a big difference. People need to know that others are there for them during difficult times. Support more mental health education in schools. Silence only adds to stigma, which then prevents kids from seeking help. Get behind legislation that calls for more school-linked mental health services. Another step is to learn more

about mental illnesses. There are a variety of fact sheets about mental illnesses and booklets on the mental health system available on the NAMI Minnesota website. NAMI Minnesota offers free classes and presentations such as Mental Health First Aid which increases people’s mental health literacy and In Our Own Voice, where an individual living with a mental illness shares their powerful story of recovery. During the month of May become more educated about mental illnesses and take extra time to reach out and support someone with a mental illness. Post a green ribbon on your Facebook or Twitter account and help us raise awareness about mental health. Sue Abderholden is executive director of NAMI Minnnesota (National Alliance on Mental Illness), a non-proﬁt organization working to improve the lives of children and adults with mental illnesses and their families through education, support and advocacy.

Compromise needed in last days of session

hope the spring has been treating you well. We have less than two weeks left in the 2016 legislative session and I wanted to update you on things: Constitutionally, we must adjourn by midnight on Monday, May 23. The House has passed all of our major supplemental ﬁnance bills and they’re now in conference committee with the Senate. We have yet to see a House bonding bill that invests in capital improvements and creates jobs, which is usually the primary task for us in the second, even numbered years of the biennium. The differences between the House Majority Party and our DFL Governor

and Senate couldn’t be greater. We have a $900 million budget surplus, and one side wants to spend all of that on tax cuts for wealthy special interests, while I believe it should be invested in Legislator making the economy work for ordinary Lingo Minnesotans. That means investing in Peter Fischer education, continuing the ttuition ﬁ xing our th iti freeze, f transportation system and addressing racial disparities. We also need to pass a robust bonding bill that will create

jobs and strengthen communities across the entire state. We’re now at the point in the session where the House and Senate leadership are meeting with the Governor to attempt to bridge the divide. They’re attempting to fi nd a joint budget target for the House and Senate budget committee to work from. As an example of a budget area they need to fi nd agreement on, the House isn’t investing an additional dime in education, from early learners through college students, but the Governor and Senate are investing $100 million or more. I’m hopeful we see the House move in their direction. They will need to fi nd agreement

in all budget areas before work on compromise legislation can start. While we don’t need to pass any bills this year to keep our government running, schools open, and highways plowed, it would be an awful waste of an opportunity if there wasn’t any compromise and we saw negotiations fall apart as they did last year over the House tax and transportation bills. It’s a great honor to serve as your voice at the Capitol. I’m hopeful in the ﬁnal days of the session we’ll be able to do some good things for the people of Minnesota. Rep. Peter Fischer represents District 43A in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Disagree with writer's vision I am responding to Robert Anderson's May 11 letter to the editor regarding Sen. Roger Chamberlain's April 27 article titled, “Deconstruction of the ‘melting pot.’” I disagree with Mr. Anderson's vision for America. The founding fathers gave us three core values, coincidentally found on every U.S. coin. They are E Pluribus Unum, in God we trust and Liberty. E Pluribus Unum means from many, one. We don't care where you are from. If you believe in America and work to make it better, you are one of us. In God we trust. All rights come from God and cannot be taken away. Liberty meaning we are born equal. What we achieve in life is based on how smart we are, how hard we work and sometimes luck. I believe many of our DFL leaders are working diligently to divide us and replace our uniquely American values of E Pluribus Unum, in God we trust and Liberty with Multiculturalism, Secularism and Equality of outcome. Sen. Chamberlain was not suggesting people assimilate and lose their identity. He was asking them to come together to solve our problems and stop dividing us with the destructive wedges of race, gender and class. Scott Nintzel White Bear Township

Description demeaning I object to the wording of one of the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reports in the May 4 White Bear Press. It is under the heading, “White Bear Township” and mentions two 17-year old females at Northeast Metro

School District 916 who had a “catfight”! That term is demeaning and sexist. In my opinion, that word should not have been printed in your newspaper. Anne Johnson White Bear Township

Clever Cops and Courts writer I love reading the Cops and Courts Ramsey Country Sheriff's Reports these days. The writer is very clever and uses fun phrases. It makes it less dry and more intriguing to read. My favorite phrase this week: “The vehicle was impounded, along with the man.” Hats off to him/her. Jody McCormick White Bear Township

Who should apologize to whom? At the May 3 Grant City Council meeting, the incident where council members Loren Sederstrom and Larry Lanoux sent Mahtomedi resident Tim Dewuske to “photograph” Tina Lobin at her water ski show last summer was re-visited by Lanoux’s proposing the council now apologize to Dewuske, who was charged for stalking but had the charges dismissed. Lanoux’s proposal went nowhere. Sederstrom, in his sworn affidavit three months after the incident, had defended Dewuske from the charge of stalking Lobin by claiming Dewuske was a reporter. Sederstrom swore, “I contracted with him … to film Ms. Lobin, or at least take pictures of her at her water ski show (in Centerville) so I could document it on my show … Mr. Dewuske was transported to the water ski show by my co-host (Larry Lanoux).” Bob Zick, on his own TV show Aug. 12,

also claimed that “we had one of our photographers over there ...” Who then sent Dewuske? Lanoux’s motion (May 3) had only Sederstrom’s support. The two should apologize, to Ms. Lobin who they singled out for harassment, and perhaps to Mr. Dewuske who they “used” to chase Lobin around the park while Lanoux hid in the shadows. Lanoux, knowing his motion would fail, “suggest(ed) Dewuske come back at the city.” Why did they rudely intrude upon another councilperson’s personal life just a couple hours after a council meeting that all members attended? Were they angry? Had they planned to stop Question 2 from appearing on the special charter election ballot through her absence at the meeting time they requested? If so, they failed, and the citizens were allowed to send the Charter Commission home, by a 2 to 1 margin. Lanoux and Sederstrom claim to be for the citizens of Grant, but their behavior indicates otherwise. You can view the 9-minute video segment at the city website, starting at 1:27:00. Jerry W. Helander Grant Editor's note: The council meeting noted above was an emergency meeting called the afternoon of July 30. Two members of the council had requested the emergency meeting be held later in the day so more people who work could attend as observers. The council majority opted to schedule the meeting in the afternoon reportedly because they had plans that evening. According to the sheriff's incident report, Dewuske declined to identify whose cell phone he used to record the encounter with Lobin and also to identify who had driven him to the Centerville park. He told a deputy that he went to the park to document the fact Lobin was there.

OBITUARY NOTICES

Anne Marjorie Tews Schwab Anne Marjorie Tews Schwab, 45, of Grant, passed away on Sunday, May 1 at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, peacefully and surrounded by her family. She suffered a sudden pontine hemorrhage (stroke) on April 28. Anne was the much-loved wife of Christian Schwab, and mother of Jorie (19), JD (16), Reggie (14) and Louie (13) Schwab. She was the deeply-loved daughter of Jean and Dixon Tews (Mahtomedi), the cherished sister of Jennifer Shultz (Bob) and SallyJean Penna (David), and aunt of Anna Shultz (22), Jack Shultz (18), Abby Shultz (16), Katie Penna (8) and Rocco Penna (6).

Growing up in Mahtomedi, Anne spent countless hours sailing, skiing, making music and laughing – as well as causing the occasional bit of trouble – with a wide but very close network of family and friends. Her greatest loves, however, will always be her husband and four children, whom she adored, was so proud of and made her so happy – and who also cause the occasional bit of trouble. She passed like she lived, surrounded by people who loved her and always doing more than anyone could

imagine for those around her.

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

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • Deputies responded to a report of a burglary in progress the night of April 15 at a vacant home, or a home that was at least supposed to be vacant, in the 3800 block of Edgerton Street. The 48-year-old man answering the door, one of six people at the home, claimed to have sold the property to a 24-year-old woman who was also on the scene. He was arrested, having just arrived, for driving after license cancellation-inimical to public safety. The woman claimed she had recently “won the lottery,” clearing $100,000 after taxes and had bought the residence for $65,000. She showed deputies a bill of sale that looked fake. She offered to go get more paperwork but neither she nor any of the other half-dozen people on hand had a driver's license. An investigation into this messy situation continues.

• A County Road F resident saw a man walking in the area a little before 9 a.m. on May 4 wheeling a child’s red bike that he recognized. He also knew he had left his garage door open overnight so he called police. Deputies found the suspect a mile away, still wheeling the bike, at County Road F and McMenemy Street. The 24-year-old from Stacy, who also had two warrants on fi le for his arrest, was jailed on a burglary charge, as well as the warrants. • Three tires were slashed on a man’s vehicle in the wee hours of May 8 in the 4500 block of Foothill Trail. A female resident, age 21, said the vehicle belonged to her current boyfriend, a 24-year-old Bloomington man, and that the tire slasher was “most likely her 21-year-old ex-boyfriend.” An investigation continues. • A 17-year-old teen from Lino Lakes was “trespassed” from Walmart in the 800 block of County Road E for one year after she was collared May 8 pilfering cosmetics valued at $5.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A 36-year-old Roseville man with an extensive criminal history was jailed on charges of domestic assault and felony violation of an order for protection April 20 fi led by his wife, also 36. The man is accused of slapping and choking the woman before leaving the scene with his preteen daughter. Deputies caught up with the man, who was transported to the Ramsey County Jail on the felony charge. • “Psst, want a massage?” is what the startled woman heard as she walked her dog past a man the afternoon of May 5 on County Road H2. The man walked toward a row of townhouses as the 20-year-old called 911. She told a deputy that the houses all looked alike and she was not sure which one he went into, but that he made her “feel uncomfortable, even frightened.” An investigation continues. • A 14-year-old boy kicked a staff member May 6 at the N.E. Metro School District 916 campus. The

youth, who said he “took his meds but they’re not working,” was transported to United Hospital for a psych evaluation. Gross misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct charges are pending. • A girl teen was booked at the Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center May 6 after she harassed staff at the Bellaire Education Center on County Road F and incited classmates to do the same, according to witnesses. The 16-year-old was charged with harassment and disorderly conduct. • A toolbox was stolen May 6 from an open garage in the 5600 block of Fisher Street. No suspects. • An 11-year-old boy attempted to assault the school resource officer at the N.E. Metro School District 916 campus on May 9. A gross misdemeanor assault charge awaits the outcome of the youth’s success in a diversion program. Parents were contacted and asked to pick up their child.

WALL OF FAME: One inductee honored posthumously FROM PAGE 1A

in a telephone interview from Virginia. "We have enlightened debates on the future of weather satellites." Two of his fondest memories, he said, was being chosen as drum major for the high school band and playing clarinet in the University of Minnesota Marching Band at the1962 Rose Bowl game. Married 50 years, the Dittberners have lived in Springfield, Virginia, for the last 31. They have three adult children. Was he surprised by the hometown claim to fame? "Yes," Dittberner replied. "About a year and a half ago, one of my classmates called me about the nomination form for the Wall of Fame and I asked 'what is that?'" When the ’59 grad attended high school, it was at Central, he noted. "There was a door with the word 'think.' I've always remembered that door. In today's environment, it behooves the new generation to put aside their smartphones and think a little bit. That's what I take from that door." Dittberner plans to attend the May 18 ceremony at South Campus. He no longer has family here; his parents are buried at St. Mary's Cemetery; one sister lives in North Carolina and the other in Edina, so he returns only sporadically. In reminiscing, the White Bear grad said he's always tried to follow his dreams. "I had some good teachers in high school to help me get there," he said, adding his father instilled a work ethic that serves him to this day. His father was a Realtor in a second

floor downtown office who sold houses for 40 years. One of his favorite sayings, which Dittberner admitted came from the many years it took him to master downhill skiing: "If you're not falling down, you're not trying hard enough."

Diane Kolander Loomer Class of 1958 Honored posthumously, Diane Kolander Loomer grew up in a musical family, playing the piano and singing. She was active in high school, participating in both band and virtually all the choral ensembles. After graduating from Gustavus Adolphus College with a major in math, Diane embarked on a teaching career in math and English — including a stint at White Bear Lake Area High School while her husband was finishing medical school. In the mid 1970s, after relocating to Vancouver, B.C., Loomer followed her passion for music and began her studies in music theory, piano and voice at Douglas College. She then transferred to the University of British Columbia where she earned a degree in music theory, with a minor in voice. Launching her choral conducting career at an age when most other directors would be in mid-flight,

Loomer soared high, eventually reaching the top strata of her profession. She founded and directed four outstanding choirs and co-founded another in a wide variety of voicing fostering a love of singing in children, youth, adults and seniors. Mentorship of young choristers was important to Loomer, and she established programs to nurture their development. The White Bear grad received numerous awards recognizing her service to choral music in British Columbia and throughout Canada. In recognition of her contribution to the country's culture, Diane became a member of the Order of Canada and was awarded the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal. She received honorary doctorates from both the University of British Columbia and Gustavus Adolphus College. She was a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Loomer died Dec. 10, 2012 of cancer complications. Her spouse, Dr. Richard Loomer, said his late wife would be "very honored to be recognized by her hometown." "I’m biased, of course, but Diane was beautiful, charming, and had an almost magical talent for understanding choral music, training singers to perform and getting audiences to love it and her," said her husband. He is unable to attend the ceremony, but his sister Judy Giese will be there on their behalf. The couple has one son and two grandchildren.

a huge challenge. The White Bear Lake family learned to take one day at a time. But there was always the constant worry, Meg said. The most difficult period of time, she said, was when Matt went off to college at Michigan Tech and the disease started to take its toll. “It left us feeling very helpless to have him six hours away from us, his regular doctors and hospital.” Despite his health issues, Matt completed a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. On July 17, 2008, after waiting for three months, Matt underwent a lung transplant. “I was pretty sick at that point, so a lot of my time was dedicated to doing the airway clearance,” he said. He also was on oxygen full time, which significantly limited his activities. The transplant caused kidney failure — Matt spent more than 250 days that year in and out of the hospital. Once stable, Meg said, he spent three days a week at kidney dialysis, and for the next four years he required daily

tube feedings to supplement his regular diet. All that didn’t stop him from going to about 100 hockey games per year and quite a few auto races in the summers. Then, on May 1, 2011, Matt received a kidney transplant. He figures he gained another 118 days of free time from not having to do dialysis. Having the transplants has allowed him to get back to working on race cars, one of his pre-transplant goals. White Bear residents know the 33-year-old as the awards and recognition manager at Hisdahl’s, where he does engraving, makes trophies, plaques and awards, and sharpens skates. Oh, and he also crews on a race team, collecting data, doing videotaping and maintaining the Facebook page … does most of the photography for the White Bear Lake Historical Society where his parents both volunteer … is a ham radio operator … and competes in TSD (time speed distance) rallies in which he and his girlfriend have won their class in six of seven runs.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Matt Todd, the awards and recognition manager at Hisdahl’s, has more time to lead an active life after receiving a double lung transplant in 2008 and a kidney transplant in 2011 to combat the effects of cystic ﬁbrosis.

Matt has CF-related diabetes, which requires insulin and blood sugar monitoring. “With the exception of having to take anti-rejection meds daily and doctors’ appointments somewhat frequently and being more cautious about infections, I lead a relatively normal life,” he said.

One of the toughest aspects of CF is seeing friends die. “It’s really difficult watching a friend who is 22, and supposed to be entering the prime of their life, die,” he said. “I want to raise awareness and money for the CF Foundation so that people like them and myself will be able to live

long and full lives.” Matt’s family and friends participate in Great Strides, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s largest national fundraising event, as “Team Toddler.” Five Great Strides for CF walks take place in Minnesota this month; the St. Paul walk is May 22. What keeps him focused? “Knowing that if I don’t follow this regimen I will get sick and/or die,” Matt summarized. “Even

though I’ve had to deal with a lot of awful stuff in my life, I don’t really view myself as being inspirational. I’m just doing what most anyone in my position would do to survive. “People always say, ‘I could never do what you’ve had to do’ and I say that’s not true, you would if you had no choice.” To help “Team Toddler” reach its goal of $4,000 this year, visit greatstrides.cff.org.

Lyme disease on the uptick in Minnesota

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

WHITE BEAR LAKE — While the danger of Zika virus has been blowing up the headlines in the last few months, David Neitzel of the Minnesota Department of Health says Minnesotans should be more worried about a more familiar health threat: Lyme disease. May is Lyme disease awareness month, and the Minnesota Lyme Association awareness and support group recently hosted Neitzel at one of their meetings, which took place at the White Bear Lake District Center May 10 to discuss some of the details involved with one of the most widespread vector-borne diseases in the nation. Neitzel has worked for the Minnesota Department of Health for 20 years. Prior to that, he worked for Metropolitan Mosquito Control. The tick population in Minnesota has been increasing in the last few decades due to warmer and wetter conditions. This also increases the risk that Minnesotans could become infected with Lyme disease; an illness that can sometimes have long-lasting effects on the nervous system years after the initial symptoms have passed. Lyme is a vector-borne disease, which means it is carried by an organism (such as a tick) between other hosts: from a mouse to a human, for example. Ticks themselves are not born with the disease, but acquire it when they feed on other mammals (such as mice and deer) before they are able to transfer it

to a human host. While many are familiar with the symptoms of the disease (such as the bulls-eye rash, nausea, fever and joint pain), Neitzel structured his speech to address some of the lesser-known details related to Lyme. This included an examination of the life cycle of the black-legged tick (often called the deer tick) and a discussion about diseases similar to Lyme, such as human anaplasmosis. Neitzel spends many days out in the field capturing live ticks to sample, with the aid of a large piece of fabric dragged along brush-filled, wooded areas—the preferred habitat of black-legged ticks. During these samplings, he and other Department of Health staff are not allowed to wear insect repellent, since they have to act as the “bait” during this process. They wear light-colored suits and stop every few feet to remove any ticks that may have crawled onto their legs. “These ticks drive me nuts because they're so fickle when they come out,” Neitzel said. “They're very susceptible to drying out.” Ticks prefer the damp, leaf-littered environment close to the ground. The increasingly warm winters have contributed to expanding tick populations, resulting in a rise in cases of Lyme disease. The increased humidity and precipitation is also beneficial to tick survival. Neitzel said that black-legged ticks have no eyes, but usually attach to hosts at the ground level using other senses. They are able to detect changes in carbon

dioxide, body heat and other chemical cues. Ticks typically emerge as soon as the snow melts each year—Neitzel said the earliest he has ever found a tick was on Feb. 11 during a particularly warm winter. Neitzel has been working with tick-borne diseases since 1985, during which time he has noticed many changes in the approach to combating these infections. He described it as a “night and day difference” between today and when he first began. During that time, the Minnesota Department of Health became the third lab in the nation able to test for the tick-borne Powassan virus, which showed concentrated cases in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Neitzel said that studies are also beginning to realize that past data may be skewed because the locations of tick bites were assumed to be at or near the victim's home. “A lot of people are exposed when they go do recreational activities in other parts of the state,” he said. “We have to reexamine the assumption that the exposure happened at home.” The exact number of cases of Lyme disease in Minnesota is unknown because symptoms sometimes go unnoticed, or the infection is misdiagnosed as something else. The prevalence has begun to spread in the last few decades. “What we're finding is that we don't have to look too far to find infected ticks,” Neitzel said. He reported that tick sampling has shown 37.3 percent of adult black-legged ticks carry Lyme disease, and that similar diseas-

es anaplasmosis and babesiosis have both been observed at a rate of nearly 8 percent within the adult tick population. “Quite often we find ticks infected more than one pathogen,” Neitzel said. Neitzel said that he will be beginning a study in Washington County this year to investigate the presence of tick populations in residential areas. The most high-risk areas to acquire black-legged ticks are in wooded brush, or the tall grassy areas between tree lines and open spaces. Tick exposure can be reduced by creating landscape barriers (such as a border of river rock in residential yards) or by simply walking in the center of trails, away from areas where ticks can climb onto your legs. Repellent should also be used,

especially around the lower legs, before entering tick-heavy areas. If you are bitten by a tick, the important thing is to get the insect off quickly. It doesn't matter if the tick's head is still lodged in the skin. It takes up to 12 hours after attachment for anaplasmosis to be transferred to a human, and up to 24 hours for Lyme. The more often you check for ticks, the lower the risk. The Department of Health is currently exploring a number of options to reduce the risk of Lyme, such as landscape management, treatment of host animals and more.

Two massage businesses denied license BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Two massage establishments have been forced to close their doors after failing to get licensed. In a carefully worded explanation, city attorney Roger Jensen said individuals who have convictions of offenses “reasonably related” to massage licenses and/or a history of violating public health, safety and morals can be denied licensure according to the ordinance passed by City Council last September. “The reasons were clearly understood by both applicants,” Jensen told council members, “and staff recommends denial.” Neither owner of the two establishments: New Royalty Massage, 4704 Banning Ave., and Sunflower Lake Massage, 3609 White Bear Ave., was present at the May 10 meeting to plead their case. Applicant Jing Wang, who owns Sunflower, was charged with prostitution by Maplewood police in 2014, pled guilty and served a one-year sentence. The

White Bear Lake Police Department background check disclosed that Wang began performing a prohibited sexual act on an undercover police officer for money. Her record was vacated, Jensen said, but a history of violating laws or ordinances is sufficient grounds to deny. Ditto for the second case. That applicant, Guangxiu Gao, owner of New Royalty, violated a New Brighton city ordinance in 2013 by operating on a Sunday. “It isn’t a serious violation, but it is a violation,” noted Jensen, “and sufficient grounds for revocation.” Forty-four massage therapists/establishments were required to obtain a license after approval of the ordinance last fall. Police department personnel visited each one to verify documentation of formal training, as required, and conducted criminal background checks. Only these two failed the screening. Councilman Kevin Edberg disagreed with staff’s recommendation regarding New Royalty, saying he doesn’t consider one infraction a “history.” He asked what other businesses must abide by this type of ordinance, to which Jensen replied liquor establishments.

“Massage is considered a healing art, but we treat them differently,” Edberg said, adding that he is uncomfortable with that treatment. Councilman Bill Walsh felt the city needed “to set the tone” for the new ordinance. “We are not going to be lenient (with licensure). We have to start tougher,” he said. Noting that there are “double standards all over the place,” Edberg told the council he “hopes we exercise equal treatment to other businesses. That hasn’t been the case with liquor establishments.” The vote to deny a license to New Royalty was 3-1 with Edberg voting no, and 4-0 to deny a license to Sunflower Lake. Councilman Dan Jones was absent. Two times the recommendation for denial was postponed last month to allow time for the applicants to appeal. Because services of an interpreter were needed, the process was further delayed. As Jensen pointed out, staff felt the reasons for denial were now clearly understood by both applicants.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES The White Bear Lake City Council conducted the following business at its May 10 meeting: • Heard a short presentation by Manitou Days Chairman Carter Johnson and Vice Chairman John Lupo. The annual summer festival is June 16 through July 4 this year and themed “Musical Bears.” Johnson thanked the city for its ongoing support. • Heard a proclamation read by Mayor Jo Emerson declaring May 15-21 Police Week in the city of White Bear Lake. • Approved bid from Pear-

son Brothers for 2016 seal coat program in amount of $261,400. • Approved $12,000 change order No. 1 for 2016 sanitary sewer lining program. • Approved advertisement of bids for sale of dock system at the municipal marina. Five different dock systems will be sold as a whole or in parts with sealed bids due July 16. • Approved on-sale 3.2 beer and wine license to Wings Investment LLC, doing business as Bamboo House Bistro & Bar, 1350 Hwy. 96 in Birch

Lake Square. The restaurant was issued a full liquor license last year, which expired March 31. After a temporary closing, the restaurant has reopened with owner Long Phi Vo applying for a new license. City Manager Ellen Richter said she was “pleased to have them open again,” adding, “it’s really good food.” Councilman Doug Biehn noted that the location has been “a hard spot” for restaurants and wants the city to help in any way it can. “I’d like to see a long-term tenant

there,” he said. • Approved resolution providing benefits for city employees who are not covered by employment agreements. • Heard a report from Richter that 48 rain barrels were sold prior to the May 7 Water Conservation Day at City Hall and orders for 25 more are on a waiting list. A presentation on the benefits of using rain barrels is available on the city website, whitebearlake. org. The cost for a rain barrel is $60. Debra Neutkens

Financial Management Reduce the risk of outliving your money Provided by EFS Advisors

If you ask many retirees what their greatest fear in retirement is, chances are one of the top answers you will hear is “outliving my money.” With retirement lasting 20, 30 or even 40 years, how will your retirement savings hold up? What steps can you take to reduce the risk? • Realize that Social Security benefits may shrink in the future. With the strain on Social Security, looking at other sources for retirement income and saving now are key. • Realize that you may need to work, at least part time, beyond retirement age. • Consider Health Insurance and prepare for out-of-pocket expenses. This is one of the largest expenditures in retirement. Being aware of and planning for this can help alleviate the impact of medical expenses. • Plan and monitor finances. Working with an advisor to help plan for the future can help savings last long enough. If you would like to meet with an EFS Advisors financial advisor, please contact our office at 763689-9023 to request a free, no obligation review.

Breakfast helps fund MS150 bicycle trek Once again, the White Bear Lake Fire and Police Departments have put together a team for the MS150. The MS150 is a 2-day 150 mile bicycle trek from Duluth to the Twin Cities on the weekend of June 10. The event raises money for research and programs for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. This will be our team’s fourth year, and again the team is dedicating the ride to some courageous friends and family members who live with Multiple Sclerosis: • Paul Munns and Dave Jahr live with MS and have committed many years to the White Bear community by serving on the White Bear Lake fi re department as fi refi ghters and medical personnel.

• Brittany is the daughter of retired Assistant Fire Chief Mike Machus. • Debbie is the mother of a White Bear Lake Police Officer. • Fran Bibeau is the mother of another team member who is riding 150 miles in June. • Tanya Erkkila Simpson is the cousin of team captain Ron Hawkins. • The team is also excited about dedicating the ride to Steve Reibel, Krischan Kunkel, Kim and Vincent Erspamer, and retired Maplewood police officer Matt Rhude, all who live with the daily difficulties that Multiple Sclerosis presents and all who are special to the MS150 team members.

The fire and police department team is teaming up with Applebee’s in White Bear Township for a “FlapJack Fundraiser”. The event is on Sunday, May 29 from 8-10 a.m. at Applebee’s (Hwy. 96 and Centerville Road). Attendees can purchase a $10 breakfast ticket at the door. Everyone is welcome to attend. The team will have a special presentation for those to whom the ride is dedicated. Additional team donations for the Multiple Sclerosis Society can be brought or sent to the White Bear Lake fire department next to City Hall between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

CHS Field in downtown St. Paul will be bustling with activity Thursday as employees of the St. Paul Saints independent minor league team prepare to open for its second season in the new, river-front ballpark. The 2015 season saw the team win the regular season with a spectacular 74-26 record, but fell short of capturing the postseason trophy. “Opening night 2016 will feature a look back at year one of CHS Field, including honoring the 13 awards the team and ballpark won last year,” said Sean Aronson, director of media relations for the Saints. “We want to make it a night about our fans.”

One of those fans, specifically, will be recognized for his contribution to the highlights of Opening Night 2015. Alan Cassell of Centerville snagged a wayward baseball bat as it helicoptered into the

grandstands down the first-base line, sparing potential injury to those spectators in adjacent seats. Cassell will be recognized as part of the Opening Night 2016 ceremonies. Cassell's grab made

national headlines, and video of the catch surpassed more than two million YouTube views. In addition, the players on this season's roster will be entering the field from the stands. “This will allow them to interact with our fans as the come onto the field for the pre-game

introductions..” Aronson said. The Saints are scheduled to play the Gary SouthShore Railcats at 7:05 p.m. Thursday, the first game of a four-game series. Gene Annis Sports contributor

the more it’s going to break. The more severe the slope, the more the putt is going to break. The faster the green, the more the ball is going to break. The more you do this, the more you’ll get it. If you have a hard time with this concept, take a notepad out and draw the circle when you play a practice round and try it on every green. There are a couple of unusual situations that will impact this calculation, (which I will mention in a future column) but for 98 percent of all your putts this works.

of the

three components you have to know in order to get this. The first is speed -- Greens run from 7 (slow) to 13 (like putting on glass). The second part is the grade or slope – is the green flat, average, steep or severe (0 to 4%). Lastly, you need to know how many feet you are from the hole (that’s easy, just walking it). Call me crazy, but this is way too much information for the average golfer to process. Not to mention you’ll be on the green forever trying to process all this information. So save your $250 and try my simple method. Read the greens with your feet. Start by visualizing a circle on the green; the hole is 12 o’clock, the ball is 6 o’clock. The only thing you need to know is what happens between 3 and 9. When I walk this I’m about 10 feet outside of the circle. Start at 3 and walk to 9. You will feel yourself going up or down; your toes will be higher or lower than your heels. At some point you will bottom out and start going in the other direction. There’s your straight putt. If you’re not sure, go to 9 and walk to 3. If your ball is to the left of 6 o’clock (between 6 and 9) and you are walking uphill towards 9, that ball will break to your right. If it’s to the right of 6’oclock (between 6 and 3) you will be going downhill and will break to your right. Remember, you have to find the straight putt to make this work! The farther you are from 6 o’clock

Athlete

A standard golf course has 18 holes with 4 par fives, 4 par threes, and 10 par fours. You are allotted two putts on every green, which means that if you hit every green in regulation you can still have 36 putts and shoot 72. Hard to Tee Time believe, isn’t it? There are two compowith Coach nents that matter when you putt: your stroke and Betsy your ability to read the Larey putt. 95 percent of everything you read is about the stroke. But if you can’t read a green you’re probably not going to be a very good putter. By far, the majority of players have learned to read greens by looking at their putts. Some do it from behind the ball, others try and locate the spot on the target line where the balls breaks, some triangle the putt, and the list goes on. It never worked for me, because I am not a visual learner. If you’re more of a feel player like I am, you need to find a better way to determine where the putt breaks. A few years ago a company came out with a new method; AimPoint Technologies. They do clinics all over the country and charge $250 to learn their method. Basically, this is nothing more than a mathematical formula that tells you exactly how every putt will break. Obviously designed by an engineer. There are

flush sediments from mainline pipes to enhance water quality; to verify that the hydrants are in good working order and, if not, generate a list of hydrants to be repaired or replaced; and to verify ample flow for firefighting. During hydrant flushing there may be a temporary drop in water pressure; the water may be rusty or cloudy, but not harmful; and it may take running the cold water for several minutes to clear sediment out of the system. Be patient and remember that it is only temporary and not harmful. Do not wash white laundry first. Do dark clothes first and wait until the water is clear to wash whites.

Writers Unlimited celebrating 50 years

Writers Unlimited is celebrating its 50th year of encouraging writers. Since 1966, White Bear Lake writers have shared that long road to the marketplace with encouragement and guidance. As a result, members have helped each other polish many magazine and newspaper articles, essays, short stories, novels, poetry, memoir, children’s books, newsletters or pieces written only for family and friends. The goal is to be ongoing writers. In 1966 three women came together to discuss writing. More writers joined. They first met in each others’ homes; however, sideline interests soon drove them to the Birchwood Village Hall where there were no distractions. The group remained there until 2015 when it moved to Donatelli’s restaurant in White Bear. The group has had lunch there for many years and now meets there every second and fourth Wednesday of the month. Jeannie Barnum, Birchwood, is one of the founding members and has played a large role in keeping the group together and growing. At 90, she is now retired, a

CIRCLE PINES — To Centennial High School geography teacher Chris Ripken, temperatures in the positive teens to the negative 20s are moderate. Ripken recently got back from an Arctic expedition that took place across roughly 200 miles of Arctic wilderness in Canada. This is the ﬁrst trip in a series of eight offered through the University of Minnesota Learning Technologies Media Lab (LTML). “Just being in a beautiful place that so few people get an opportunity to visit,” he said, “you get to challenge yourself physically and mentally to complete the journey and to do it with a team of people who are all participating and engaged in the mission is something that is really thrilling,” Ripken’s journey began on April 15 and ended on May 6. He was accompanied on the journey by expedition leader Aaron Doering, an adventure-learning pioneer, professor and worldwide explorer; researcher Jen Henrickson and professional videographer Matthew Whalen. The trips are funded by a grant secured by Doering. The expedition is a part of the Changing Earth Project, which is

Foundation up and running for Lions

SUBMITTED

The White Bear Lake Lions Foundation board includes, Back row, from left: Marty Long, Steve Vermeersch, Dave Hunt, Lynn Farley, Bob Lundberg, Andy Brostrom. Front row from left: Ray Smith, Therese DeMay, Deanna Getchell, Mary Kass, Renae Sokola, Jo Fleming.

Many in the community are aware of the White Bear Lake Lions Club and some of its activities. This is an all-volunteer organization that shares in the goals and visions of Lions Club International: â€œTo empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding.â€? The White Bear Lake Lions Club produces a fun- and music-filled show each March, supplies and services the concession stand at South Campus, provides childrenâ€™s games at Marketfest, facilitates the Bear Water Run in September, and promotes and staffs the food and toy donation programs near the winter holidays. However, what may be news to the community is that, in 2014, the nonprofit White Bear Lake Lions Club Foundation was established. The foundationâ€™s purpose is to provide funds to organizations and individuals in four key areas of service: (a) saving sight, hearing and health, (b) serving youth, (c) providing disaster relief and (d) meeting humanitarian needs. The purpose of the White Bear Lake

Lions Club Foundation is to receive charitably gifted funds, invest and manage these funds, and to provide a financial support to those meeting one or more of the key areas of service. The foundation has been certified as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is â€œstriving to improve the quality of life in our community through humanitarian services.â€? As a nonprofit organization, any donations to the foundation may be tax deductible for the givers. This is a key factor that is beneficial to those who donate, providing tax incentives to those individuals and businesses who wish to donate to support the humanitarian causes in the community of White Bear Lake. Individuals or organizations who would like to make a tax-deductible donation can find additional information via a link to the foundation at the website www.whitebearlions.org.

Bald Eagle Lake gets second alum treatment

The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) began the second and final aluminum sulfate, or alum, treatment on Bald Eagle Lake April 26 to reduce phosphorus levels. Phosphorous fuels algae growth, giving many Minnesota lakes a green, soupy appearance during warmer months, noted Jessica Bromelkamp, RCWD education, outreach & communication coordinator. Once applied to a lake, alum binds with phosphorus, making it unavailable for algae to consume. Less algae means clearer water. Regular water quality testing has occurred on Bald Eagle since 1980, Bromelkamp said. In 2002, the lake was placed on the stateâ€™s Impaired Waters List for phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a, a measure of algae in the water. Severe algae blooms were common.

In 2014, the RCWD worked with HAB Aquatic Solutions to apply the first alum treatment to the lake. The project resulted in immediate gains in water clarity with visibility reaching almost 7 feet on average. Following the first alum treatment, Bald Eagle Lake has met state standards for the first time in more than three decades. The second treatment ensures the long-term effectiveness of the project. The Bald Eagle Area Association was an integral part of the success story, Bromelkamp said. The citizen group established a water management district to help pay for projects like the alum treatment. Residents have reported seeing the bottom of the lake from the end of their docks for the first time in years. The RCWD will continue to work with the county to monitor water quality in Bald Eagle with the hope of delisting it in the coming years. Good housekeeping measures such as keeping leaves, grass clippings, grease, oil and fertilizers out of the lake will help to ensure the project benefits are long-lasting. Submitted

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS www.presspubs.com

Arts Center honors youth writers BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE â€” The award ceremony and readings of 2016's White Bear Center for the Arts (WBCA) WriteNow! High School Writing Contest May 5 began with a remembrance of one of the judges who had passed away four days earlier. Anne Schwab, a short story judge, had picked winners for the category along with two other judges before she died. The Grant resident suffered a stroke on April 28 and passed away May 1, according to her obituary. She was a novelist and poet, and taught writing classes at the WBCA. This year's contest named 28 winning pieces from 238 entries in poetry, persuasive essay, creative nonfiction, short story and one-act play. Entries were accepted from all high school students in the Northeast Metro area, including White Bear Lake Area, Mahtomedi, Stillwater and Forest Lake high schools. Entries were judged by three independent judges in each category. Entries were also anonymous to the judges. Four students received recognition in multiple categories. Suzi Hudson, executive director, encouraged the young writers to keep up their craft and save their awards as inspiration. â€œTake your award and post it somewhere,â€? she said. â€œLet it be your inspiration to keep on.â€? Guest speaker Fres Thao, a Hmong-American poet from St. Paul,

did a spoken word performance to inspire the winning writers. He performed a piece on his parents' journey as refugees. Thao is the former executive director of the Center for Hmong Arts and Talent in St. Paul. He plans to take two years off to discover his roots in Southeast Asia. â€œI write because it helped me heal,â€? he said. â€œTo tell a story is to release a piece of you.â€?

Award of Excellence writers

The winners of the Award of Excellence, the highest award in each category, read their submissions to the crowd. Harrison Fischer, winner in the ninth-10thgrade poetry category, read a poem about his cat, â€œOde to My Cat Ami.â€? Fischer is a 10th-grader at White Bear Lake Area High School. Elise Ogden, an 11th-grader at White Bear Lake Area High school, was the winner in the 11th-12th grade poetry category. She read her poem about sound-color coordination, â€œBattlefield.â€? Krister Copeland read a story about a father and child running away from a war and leaving their wife and mother behind, â€œHer Beautiful Eyes.â€? Copeland, a 10th-grader at White Bear Lake Area High School, was the winner in the ninth-10thgrade short story category. White Bear Lake Area High School 11th-grader Ruby Birckelbaw read a portion of â€œHeba the Elemental,â€? a novel she is working on about a person who discovers she has a healing power. Birckelbaw was the win-

ner in the 11th-12th grade short story category. Addie Engebretson, ninth-10th-grade persuasive essay winner, read an essay on supporting pollinator-friendly initiatives, â€œFor a More Bee-utiful Earth.â€? Engebretson is a 10th-grader at Mahtomedi High School. Jerome Jacobsen, in the 11th-12th grade category, read an essay on supporting more access to organ donations, â€œThe Importance of Presumed Consent in Organ Donation.â€? Jacobsen is a 12th-grader at Mahtomedi High School. Claire Hank, ninth-10th grade creative nonfiction winner, read a piece on the death of her older brother and how literature helped her deal with the sorrow, â€œLetters About Literature.â€? Hank is a 10th-grader at White Bear Lake Area High School. White Bear Lake Area High School 11th-grader Samantha Engrav read her winning submission on how a friend inspired her to try out for the hurdles in track, â€œThe One I Run For.â€?
