ne of history’s most solemn days, Memorial Day is an American holiday that honors the men and women who died while serving in the United States military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. In May 1868, Gen. John A. Logan, the commander-in-chief of the Union veterans’ group known as the Grand Army of the Republic, issued a decree that May 30 should become a nationwide day of commemoration for the more than 620,000 soldiers killed in the recently ended Civil War. On Decoration Day, as Logan dubbed it, Americans should lay flowers and decorate the graves of the war dead “whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land.” According to legend, Logan chose May 30 because it was a rare day that didn’t fall on the anniversary of a Civil War battle, though some historians believe the date was selected to ensure that flowers across the country would be in full bloom. Today Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May. The American flag should be hung at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day, then raised to the top of the staff. And since 2000, when the U.S. Congress passed legislation, all Americans are encouraged to pause for a National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time.

Love for Minnesota

ALE KURSCHNER WRITES an editor’s note in a past issue of Twin Cities Business to make the point of why Minnesota is the best place to live. He comments that our state has many significant top 10 rankings, plus the theater of seasons. For example, Minnesota is one of only 13 major metropolitan areas with five major sports teams. Many of the major metropolitan areas are near lakes and beautiful locations. Few of them have anything quite as close as Lake Minnetonka. I would brag about White Bear Lake as well. Other factors note that Minneapolis consistently ranks among the best cities for live theater, along with New York and Boston, but only the Mill City has more theater seats per capita than any other U.S. city after New York. According to Travel and Leisure’s America’s Best Cities for Foodies, the Twin Cities comes in just behind four other cities, which are Houston; Providence, Rhode Island; Kansas City and Atlanta. The Twin Cities also gets a high rating for the best chefs in the nation. In Minnesota, we love our lakes and we love our boats. Kurschner says according to statistics we own 800,900 boats, the second percentage of boats per capita in the About the highest country after Florida. We are also the largest turkey producer in Town the nation, second largest in hogs, sixth in Gene Johnson cheese and honey and eighth in milk. In other areas of agriculture, we lead other states in sugar beets, second in wild rice, fourth in corn, soybeans and flax seeds. The Minnesota State Fair season is around the corner and I think everyone knows we have the best and largest daily attendance of any other state fair in the country. We might not have the best or most golf courses, but we have the most golfers per capita. We are still behind in bike trails, but we are also considered the second friendliest state. I might add our taxes are quite high, the DNR is crazy with regulations and our motorists love to drive alone in a car. We have plenty of deer for hunting. The Dakotas are more inviting for pheasants. Fishing is still good in the state, but Ontario is becoming more and more inviting. We have great parks, campsites and hiking trails and the year-round beauty of the seasons is breathtaking. The air is clean except for occasional forest fire smoke from Western United States and Canada. Don’t forget to take time and enjoy it. NEWSPAPER HEADLINES CAN make you laugh. My publisher friend from Custer, S.D., Charley Najacht, sent me several that tickled my funny-bone. Here they are: “Governor says new Bay Bridge won’t open until it’s ready.” “Woman falls in hospital, told to call ambulance.” “County to pay $250,000 to advertise lack of funds.” “Seventeen remain dead in morgue shooting spree.” “Tight end returns after colon surgery.” “Death is nation’s top killer.” “Cow urine makes for juicy lemons.” IT’S IMPORTANT TO observe Memorial Day every year. All of us are beneficiaries of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our nation can continue to exist along with the many freedoms we enjoy. On May 5, 1868, General John Logan suggested we observe Memorial Day by gathering “around the sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds around them with choicest flowers of springtime – let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us as sacred charges upon the Nation’s gratitude – the soldier’s and sailor’s widow and orphan.” We so often have ignored this celebration of remembering our ancestors, our family members, our loved ones, our neighbors and our friends who have given so much in sacrifice. We can continue this observance by visiting cemeteries, placing flags or flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes; also by visiting memorials and taking time to understand what they mean. It is also important to fly the U.S. flag, at least half-staff until noon. In 1998, under the Defense Authorization Act, we’re encouraged to fly the POW/MIA Flag. On Memorial Day the National Moment of Remembrance is at 3 p.m. to pause and think upon the true meaning of the day. It is also important to renew our pledge to aid the widows, widowers, and orphans of our fallen dead and to aid the disabled veterans. May your Memorial Day this year have added meaning.

Fighting for Minnesota students

s the 2019 legislative session comes to an end, I’m working hard to make sure that the values of the people in our community are put first. When I was out door knocking, people told me over and over again that a great education for all Minnesota students was a top priority for them. I’ve heard many concerns about inadequate funding for schools, special education, Legislator student mental health, and Lingo early learning opportunities. Ami Wazlawik These concerns should be flected d in i our state budget. I’ll refl continue to fight for Minnesota students and local schools in the final days of the session and beyond. The House and Senate have each approved an E-12 education budget for the next two years. Members of both chambers are currently working together to resolve the differences between the two proposals and reach a compromise. Though the final version of the E-12 education budget will likely look different by the time the session ends and this column is published, I want you to know what I stand for. This is a vision that I’ll continue to work for even if it isn’t fully adopted this year.

The E-12 education budget that my colleagues and I passed in the House invests in every student at every public school. It increases per-pupil funding by three percent in 2020 and another two percent in 2021. Over the next two years, funding for White Bear Lake schools would increase by approximately $767 per student. Schools in Mahtomedi and Mounds View would see about $797 and $563 more for each student, respectively, and funding for Stillwater schools would increase by $587 per student. This increased funding would help schools support students inside and outside the classroom. Our budget also freezes the special education cross subsidy for the next two years. Cross subsidies are gaps between the cost of providing special education services and what state and federal funding covers. Schools must use general funds to ﬁll in the gaps. That depletes funds and pits groups of students against one another. Freezing the cross subsidy would beneﬁt communities like White Bear Lake, where the cross subsidy increased 110% between 2002 and 2017, and ensure that schools are able to meet the needs of all students. Keeping students safe and healthy is also an important part of the House budget. It provides grants to expand mental health services and crucial funding so schools can hire counselors, psychologists, social workers,

nurses, and other support staff. One of my bills that was included in the budget would require establishing risk assessment teams to help school districts address threatening behavior and connect students with underlying behavioral or mental health issues to the resources they need to address them. Our budget also helps the youngest Minnesotans get a great start in life through expanded access to voluntary early learning opportunities. It preserves access to preschool for 4,000 kids by making School Readiness Plus, which is set to expire this year, a permanent program. 2,000 more of our youngest learners would benefit from increased investment in and flexibility for early learning scholarships. Our students are the future of Minnesota. In my years working in local public schools, I’ve seen the great potential of young Minnesotans firsthand. If we invest in each and every student, give teachers and staff tools to help them succeed, and connect students to the resources they need to thrive, there’s no limit to what our students can achieve.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Close to a TCE ban — but not done yet Minnesota is close to banning trichlorethylene (TCE) and becoming the first state to protect citizens from this carcinogen that has been released into the environment throughout Minnesota in excessive levels. The most recent TCE exposure was announced in February. Water Gremlin exposed White Bear area citizens to excessive levels for 17 years. It was permitted to release 10 tons per year. After repeated requests by the MPCA for documentation, the March 1 Stipulation Agreement revealed they emitted 1079.236 tons of TCE over 17 years. Many claim Water Gremlin’s activities are the exception and that the majority of permit holders self-regulate appropriately. However, this extreme instance calls

attention to a larger issue. • Over 80 companies have permits for TCE. • Other companies use TCE at low levels without needing permits. • TCE is a carcinogen and exposure is linked to other diseases. • Harmful levels of TCE have been found in Minnesota water, soil and air, including Minneapolis, Fridley, Bayport, Edina and St. Louis Park. When TCE is in the soil and water, the risks to people expand. In the soil it vaporizes and enters homes through basement floors, cracks and walls. In water supplies, especially private and unmonitored wells, it compromises the safety of water. While citizens have tried to make their voices heard after local exposure issues are announced, our voice has not been heard — until this year. The Minnesota House and Senate have passed bipartisan

bills to phase out the use of TCE. However, the bills are tied up in conference committee and it is possible Gov. Walz won’t be able to decide if Minnesota should be the first state in the nation to ban the use of TCE. Please: 1) Research TCE use and pollution in Minnesota. 2) Know the EPA is starting investigations on banning TCE nationally. 3) Ask legislatures to drive this bill home and have Minnesota lead the nation. This is critical to help save lives from the longterm health impacts TCE has on citizens, including the most vulnerable, our children.

Lake Links hosts 3rd annual bike ride The Lake Links Association will host its third annual community bike ride along the partially completed Lake Links route around White Bear Lake Saturday, June 8, starting at West Park, 2350 11th St. in White Bear Lake. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.; the first contingent of riders will leave the park at 9 a.m. The 10-mile guided ride will include scenic views of White Bear Lake as well as surrounding wetlands, woods and ponds. Stops at Dellwood, Depot Creek, Ox and Crow Coffee Shop and Bellaire Beach will provide an opportunity to learn about features and plans for each section of the route. “Part of the route is on the right of way of the Minnesota and Pacific Railroad, chartered in 1857, be-

fore Minnesota was even a state,” said Mahtomedi resident Steve Wolgamot, who is co-chairing the Lake Links initiative to create safe passage around the lake for nonmotorized travelers. “Other parts will be on quiet public streets with beautiful views. If you haven’t ridden the lake before, or if you’ve spent all your time on only part of this treasure, the ride will be a great eye-opener and an invitation to future adventures.” The public is invited and encouraged to join the fun. Helmets are required, and children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Participation by small children is not recommended due to narrow or bumpy sections that are still awaiting improvement. There will be refresh-

ments and opportunities to take group photos and socialize at West Park at the end of the ride. There is no charge, but Lake Links T-shirts will be available for optional purchase at $5 each. “This will be a great initiation to this beautiful route for those who haven’t experienced it and a wonderful reminder for those who have,” said White Bear Lake resident Mike Brooks, who also cochairs the Lake Links initiative. “Most of all, the ride will highlight the considerable progress that has been made to complete a decades-old vision of a safer path around and past the lake for everyone.” Find more information and sign up at lakelinks.net.

77 years after his death at Pearl Harbor, a Minnesota WWII veteran’s remains come home BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER

Sharon DeRaad never got to meet her Uncle Dante; he died during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor years before she was born. But this Memorial Day weekend, she’ll drive from Forest Lake to Virginia, Minnesota, to attend his funeral and witness his remains buried alongside those of her grandparents, nearly 80 years after his death. Dante Sylvester Tini was among the 429 sailors and 2,403 Americans who died in the surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor that launched the start of the U.S. involvement in World War II. The son of Italian immigrants, Tini, then 19, joined the U.S. Navy after graduating from high school. He served as a Radioman third class aboard the U.S.S. Oklahoma and was working in the ship’s hull when it capsized after being struck by Japanese torpedoes on Dec. 7, 1941, a date that has since lived in infamy for both the United States and the Tini family. Two weeks after the attacks, Tini’s parents, Daniel and Rachel, received a telegram stating that he was missing in action. Rachel’s scream, family legend has it, could be heard throughout the neighborhood. The sudden loss of a loved one is always a tragedy, but the lack of closure around Tini’s death, DeRaad said, made his family’s mourning all that much more difficult and drawn out. “My mom, Alda, who was his sister, just grieved, grieved, grieved for a long time,” DeRaad said. “And my grandma never really got over it.” Tini had been scheduled to return to Minnesota on Dec. 10 and sent many of his possessions back home in anticipation of his homecoming. Though his belongings, such as his harmonica and accordion, made the return trip safely, he never did. Because Rachel only spoke Italian, Alda often assumed the role of translator, and she frequently found herself explaining Tini’s death to her mother over and over again. “Things would come home, and my mom would have to explain to her mom that it didn’t mean that Dante was coming home, just that he had previously sent those things back,” DeRaad said. “For years, my nona (Italian for grandmother) never really fully grasped that her son would never, ever come home, especially because the body was never found.”

Keeping memories alive Though DeRaad and her siblings never knew Tini personally, thanks to the stories their family members told throughout the years, they still feel connected to him. “His memory was always kept alive at our family functions,” said Barb Maki, DeRaad’s sister. “It was almost like you wanted to pull up an empty chair for him because it felt like he was going to come in and join at any minute.” “My aunt (Alda) always said he was a really nice-looking Italian boy, and he had many, many girlfriends. He was a bit of a Casanova,” added Renee Proust, DeRaad and Maki’s cousin. “He certainly was never forgotten, thanks to all those stories.”

Scientific advancements lead to closure Tini’s parents and siblings never got the closure they yearned for, but thanks to advancements in forensic science, his nieces and nephews fi nally will. Tini’s remains were among those recovered by Navy personnel between December 1941 and June 1944. Of the 429 casualties aboard the U.S.S.

Above, Dante Tini with family. Dante Tini served as a Radioman third class aboard the U.S.S. Oklahoma and was working in the ship’s hull when it capsized after being struck by Japanese torpedoes on Dec. 7, 1941.

Oklahoma, only 35 were identified and later interred in the Halawa and Nu’uanua cemeteries in Hawaii. The others were buried as “unknowns” in mass graves at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. Thanks to advocacy on the part of a Pearl Harbor survivor, in the mid-2000s, the Defense POW/ MIA Accounting Agency exhumed the remains of the Oklahoma’s unknown victims. In 2012, Tini’s nieces received calls from the U.S. Navy requesting DNA samples to match what could potentially be their uncle’s remains. “Females tend to be a closer match than male, so they wanted the eldest of his nieces, which would be my sister Rachel, who lives in Albuquerque (New Mexico),” DeRaad said. “She sent a sample of her DNA in, and last summer she got a call saying that it was a one hundred percent match.” Seventy-seven years since the telegram arrived announcing Tini was missing in action, his family was overwhelmed to fi nally have closure. “Everybody cried,” Maki said. “When we were contacted for our DNA six, seven years ago, we kind of all hoped this would happen, but when the news fi nally came, it was such a surprise.” “You can imagine how exciting it was to think that they kept all of these (remains) until all of our forensic studies advanced enough so that there could be a match after all of these years,” DeRaad added. “Everybody had lived for such a long time without getting closure; my mother and her mother never got it ... It’s bittersweet that this is fi nally happening.”

for what DeRaad called “a proper burial, fi nally.” A visitation and funeral service will be held Saturday, May 25, at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. Afterwards, a memorial procession will pass Virginia’s VFW post, which is named in Tini’s honor, before his remains are laid to rest next to those of his mother and father. “He will be buried next to his parents, which was his wish,” DeRaad said. Though the service is mostly a long overdue memorial for Tini, it is also dedicated to all military service members, past and present. “We’re looking to honor all veterans with this service; our uncle, of course, but also all veterans,” said Maki. The weekend will also serve as a family reunion of sorts, as Tini’s surviving extended family members will traverse the country to pay him their fi nal respects. “We have relatives coming in from Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico. The local hotel has booked a whole set of rooms in his honor. My children will meet cousins they haven’t seen in years,” DeRaad said. “Dante’s coming home has reunited all of our family.”

Celebrating a life On Thursday, May 23, Tini’s remains will be flown into the Duluth airport. From there, they will be transported to his hometown of Virginia

The students, from left, Amanda Meyers, Jordyn Schmittdiel, Alexander Her, and Skylar Swenson, were on a class trip to Washington, DC. The tomb is dedicated to deceased U.S. service members whose remains have not been identified. Students on the class trip who wanted to lay the wreath wrote a 500-word or less essay as to why they should be selected to have that honor. Fourteen students wrote the essay and four were selected as finalists.

Road construction detours Mahtomedi parade The annual Memorial Day parade May 27 in Mahtomedi will take a different route due to road construction.

Memorial Day route changes from St. Jude to Warner Road to the District Education Center.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council conducted the following business at its May 14 meeting: • Approved request by Keith Hisdahl for a planned unit development at 1966 and 1978 Hwy. 96. The sportswear and trophy store, situated on the same spot for 44 years, will expand to 2,156 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor with two dwelling units on the second floor. • Approved request by Mark and Nancy Moe for a conditional use permit for a home accessory dwelling at 2524 Crestline Drive. The couple plan to turn their basement into a two-bedroom, 830-square-foot apartment. Neighbors were concerned with its use as an Airbnb rental and increased on-street parking the apartment will create. City Planner Anne Kane noted a rental license is required from the city, as is inspection if the basement is rented to a non-family member. A Realtor, Nancy Moe told council they saw a building trend for accessory suites to house a health care provider and that was their original intent so they could age in place. She noted that the city has a housing shortage and felt the apartment offered “an invisible source of housing without adding to the footprint.” The city does have a few Airbnbs, according to Kane. She knows a couple teachers who rent out their homes during summer and found one single family and one studio apartment on the rental website. There is also a loft to rent above Upsy Daisy. Councilman Kevin Edberg asked the applicants to enforce parking to keep neighbors happy. • Heard first reading of ordinance amendment for Shafer Richardson project rezoning at the northwest quadrant of County Road E and Linden Avenue. The developer wants to change the zoning classification of five parcels totaling 4.6 acres from B-4 general business and R-6 medium density residential to R-7, high density residential to build a four-story apartment complex. Kane noted that Ramsey County approved a right in, right out access to County Road E for the complex. “It was a big compromise on their part,” she added. • Approved request by Grant Raykowski to demolish an existing detached garage and reconstruct a larger structure at 2503 Manitou Island. • Authorized property acquisition at Fourth Street and Otter Lake Road. Desoto Associates LLC will donate the 0.75 acre parcel at the intersection to the city. It will be used for drainage and treatment of stormwater from the north and east as it works its way to Birch Lake. The city is also interested in the property for future intersection alignment improvements. An easement will be granted to the Vadnais Lake Area Watershed Management Organization for stormwater management improvements. Taxable value of the property is $11,000; total taxes due in 2019 are $172, revenue the city will lose. • Authorized re-conveyance of property to the state. Outlot C of Lakewood Village on County Road D will go back to the state through Ramsey County for a potential office development proposal. Staff was contacted by Paul Bruggeman to explore whether the city would sell the triangular site. He is under contract to purchase the adjacent property to the east to develop a small office building. A larger project could be built with the city property. Staff learned that unless the city is using Outlot C for stormwater detention, the property must be conveyed back to the county. The county will determine if it is buildable and if so, it will go through the public auction process for tax-forfeited properties. If unbuildable, the adjoining property owner would be eligible to purchase the property. In either scenario, the opportunity to place the parcel back on the tax rolls is possible. • Appointed Jim Rathburn as administrative hearing officer. The former longtime administrative hearing officer resigned for health reasons. Rathburn has a law degree and experience with mediation. He has lived in White Bear Lake since 1986. • Denied application for massage therapy establishment at 1979 Whitaker Ave. called Vita Day Spa. The applicants, Lee Alan Anderson and his wife, Pusya Sarah Wang-Anderson of New Hope, applied for the license April 12 after spending $100,000 renovating the space. A background check revealed a discrepancy in date of birth of Wang-Anderson. Other issues that caused the denial: using an unlicensed therapist at their Vita Day Spa in Shoreview and discovering that the applicants advertise on Rubmap.com. The erotic website advertises as a site “where fantasy meets reality.” The applicants can wait a year and resubmit an application. Councilman Dan Jones told the applicant he had the cart before the horse. “You must be aware of issues surrounding the industry? You must be aware that cities have strict regulations?” he asked. Councilman Bill Walsh remarked that the city “has a higher standard for businesses like this. We have little tolerance or room for error.” Debra Neutkens

Loon Chronicles IV: Still thinking about it

THE LOONS FOUND THE NEW MAN-MADE NEST, AS DID A PAIR OF MALLARDS. THE LOONS BETTER MAKE THEIR MOVE SOON. THE TERNS CONTINUE TO GUARD THE OLD NEST AND DRIFT ON DOCK K PARTS, WHILES A HERON DANCED A JIG.

This was another exciting week to watch the Loons. We are happy to report that the Loon pair discovered the new manmade nest in Ordway Bay. One night, we spotted them circling the nest several times. The pair appeared interested and took their time investigating. Earlier in the week, we stumbled upon an amorous pair of Mallards using the nest for you know what. Fortunately, they moved on after they were ﬁnished. The nest in the War Zone remains a curiosity, with no takers yet. The Terns, however, have claimed all of the Loon Nesting buoys. The Loon pair continue to enjoy ﬁshing, preening, and frolicking in the War Zone, near the old nest. The geese are spending more of their time in the dead bulrushes on the west side of the War Zone, along with the Red-winged and Yellow-headed blackbirds. A very active Great Blue Heron put on a great show, stomping and dancing all about trying to fend off the smaller birds. Last year, the Loon pair built their nest in one day on June 9. They still have time, but with the shortage of viable nesting habitat, their options are dwindling. Maybe, we should put a red light on the new nest. Ellen Maas

Snow days counted as school days

UT IT!

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

flt-1657 May 19, 2019

ELLEN MAAS | SUBMITTED

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Due to the snow relief bill approved by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Tim Walz, three snow days will be counted as instructional days this school year. The White Bear Lake Area Schools board approved Jan. 22-24 as school days at its May 13 meeting. Minnesota Statue requires 165 instructional days for first graders through juniors. There are also certain hour requirements for various levels: 425 hours for kindergarten, 850 hours for full-day kindergarten, 935 hours for grades one through six, and 1,020 hours for grades seven through 12. The bill allows three snow days to be counted as school days this year. Only seniors and the Area Learning Center (ALC) requirements were affected by snow cancellations in District 624, according to board documents. With the three bonus days, the requirement will be met. The ALC will also have to add five minutes to each school day from April 29 through June 6. Employees who were not compensated also must be paid for days counted as instructional, according to the law. In District 624, bus drivers will be paid for the three days. All other employees were already paid because their collective bargaining agreements include weather emergency pay.

Bruestle, who has coached Robbinsdale Armstrong/Cooper the last three years, was named by activities director Brian Peloquin as successor to Jerry Kwapick, who stepped down after 10 seasons. “We are very excited to welcome Elsa back to the White Bear Lake community,” said Peloquin, who interviewed four finalists. “It was clear to the hiring committee that Coach Shorey was the best candidate to lead our program.” Bruestle said she’s eager to return to the team she grew up in. She takes

over after a season in which the Bears reached the state tournament for the first time since 2003, but will graduate heavily. “I know a few of the returning players from coaching them in programs such as Junior Festival and OS summer training,” Bruestle noted. “However, most are new to me. Fortunately I have two members of the coaching staff returning with me next season, which should help with a smooth transition and getting to know the kids.” Those assistants are Katie Letourneau, who was her teammate with the Bears, and now teaches in the district, and Mark Domschot. She was Elsa Shorey when she played for Kwapick in U12A, U14A, and his first two seasons as school coach. They

Four Bear senior athletes get special recognition Four White Bear Lake senior athletes received special recognition at the school’s Senior Awards Night on Wednesday, May 15. Luke Parzyck, who placed third in the state wrestling tournament at heavyweight, was a state all-star pick as a football lineman, and is one of the track team’s leaders as a thrower. He received the Dick Bradley Male Outstanding Letter winner award. Cooper Anderson, the tennis team’s No. 1 singles for four years with an estimated 73-16 record, defenseman on the conference and section champion hockey team, and a quarterback who passed for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns last fall, was named CH Christensen Leadership and Honor Athlete.

With the Bears, she played on winning teams her last three seasons (46-26-8), and was one of the top two scorers, along with Emily Green, each year with around 30 points apiece. One special moment she remembers is a goal she scored on which her older sister, the goalie, made an assist. Bruestle played hockey at Union College in Schenectady, New York, a Division I program in the ECAC. That’s where she met her husband Cal, who played basketball there. Also holding a masters degree from Hamline, she is currently a social studies teacher at Andover High School and has applied for a position at White Bear Lake.

MAHTOMEDI SPORTS BRIEFS Freer to coach Zephyr girls tennis Aaron Freer, already the boys tennis coach at Mahtomedi, will coach the girls, as well starting this fall. “Coach Freer's tennis knowledge, leadership, and values are great assets for our tennis programs and community,” said Aaron Forsythe, activities director, in announcing the hire last week. Freer, who is pastor of a Aaron Freer Covenant church in St. Paul that he started, was an assistant in the Zephyr girls program from 2012-14. This spring, he took over the boys team, which won the Metro East Conference with a very young lineup. Freer played for Stillwater and Bethel, where he was captain and team MVP. He succeeds Julia Courter, who coached for two seasons. She is also Hamline University’s coach.

Netters win emotional home ﬁnale

Bear girls LAX ends skid with short-handed win White Bear Lake girls lacrosse pulled out a scrappy win over Woodbury 8-7 at home Saturday to end a five-game

skid. Lexi Perron notched three goals and Kennedy Ashton two, while Kaylee Kloos made seven saves. The Bears were two players short for the last 10-plus minutes, due to yellow cards, but rode it out and got the game-winner with just 15 seconds left. Ashton scored on a pass from Cassidy Blank, who had turned the ball over but pressured the goalie to regain it, then spotted Ashton over her shoulder. The Bears used a “heavily defensive strategy” while shorthanded, coach Colleen Cameron said, to try and hold the Royals close, knowing they couldn’t pressure them offensively. With 2:30 left, she told them not to go for it “unless they were sure they had a shot.” Also last week, the Bears (4-7) lost to Park 14-4 and East Ridge 9-2. Bruce Strand

Are new clubs a good investment? If you read Golf Digest, they will tell you new equipment will really improve your game. They have to say that, because their advertisers pay their expenses. I saw an ad online this week for a sunglasses company that said their glasses will help you lower your score. That takes a lot of chutzpah to make that claim. Tee In all fairness, if you’re still playing PingEye2’s or PingZings, it would be Time in your best interest to invest in new equipment. I think it’s reasonable to Betsy Larey look at new clubs when technology changes significantly. That’s generally been every five years or so. That being said I do think you should buy equipment based on your needs within your set, which varies from golfer to golfer. As an example, wedges can wear out

much sooner than any other club in your bag because you use them so much more. You can go through grooves in three years if you play three times a week and practice a lot. Your driver is the other club you might want to change sooner than your entire set. Most players have traded out their long irons for hybrids in recent years. If iron play is not your strong suit, I’d even consider carrying a 6 hybrid. I did it last year, and it was the best change I’ve made. I’d rather come in at a higher trajectory and hold the green. One good reason for investing in a new set is if your body has changed. As we age, clubhead speed tends to slow down. A good clubfitter will look at your ball speed, clubhead speed and launch angle. A senior flex or lighter might help you square up the clubhead at impact, so if you’re blocking your driver to the right that’s something to consider. Clubfitting has come a long way in recent years with better technology. Back in the day, Ping used to measure the distance from the ground to the tip of your fingers. That’s how they figured out the correct lie angle for your irons. In today’s world, the best fitters will use data from trackman launch monitors that provide a wealth of information to assess what will work best. Shaft flex, weight, length and flex point all matter. And the most important

The best way to get insight into your local community:

part of the fit, in my opinion, is the lie angle on your irons. That being said, I still think you need to decide what club feels the best. The price of clubs has gone up in the last few years, so be prepared to spend anywhere from $2,600 and up for a full set. A set of PXG irons will set you back $3,200. For the record, I don’t know anyone who plays them. I’ve played Tour Edge Exotics woods and hybrids for a long time. I try out new clubs every year at the PGA Demo Day and I hit them better than anything else out there. At $300 for the driver, it’s the best deal out there. Comparable drivers run $500. Plus, they’ve been on the Golf Digest hot list for years. They didn’t do a lot of advertising and didn’t have PGA Tour players on staff until last year. But a number of pros on the Champions Tour are playing them now and winning. I’m often asked where to go for clubs. I send all my clients (and myself) to 2nd Swing in Minneapolis. They are, hands down, the best club fitters I’ve ever worked with. They offer the Tour Van fitting, which is exactly what the LPGA and PGA Professionals use at tournaments. I prefer these guys over the big box golf stores because they have better fitting equipment, a lot more experience, and they are not trying to sell you something they have in stock. They also have the largest selection of used clubs in the Twin Cities and will fit for those also. You could find a set of clubs in good condition for $1,000 or less. So if your clubs are so old you don’t remember when you bought them, a new set would probably be a good investment for your game.

Renewal: Property, Casualty, Liability and Errors & Omissions Insurance This is the eighth year for our school district to be insured by Hanover Insurance Company. The proposal represents an increase in premium from $75,767 to $89,143. Last yearâ€™s renewal did not reďŹ‚ect the insurance coverage for Quora. The increase in renewal is due to an increase in building values, speciďŹ cally due to the addition of Quora. The total premium for property, casualty, liability and errors and omissions is a .50 percent decrease from last year. Renewed the Property, Casualty, Liability and Errors & Omissions insurance with the Hanover Insurance Group for a premium of $114,269.78 for the period of May 1, 2019 through May 1, 2020. Acceptance of Workersâ€™ Compensation Insurance Proposal Our mod factor for workersâ€™ compensation has increased. For this renewal, the increase 2.13 to 3.03. This is based on the 2015, 2016, and 2017 school years. Based upon the multiple quotes that we received, we are switching our carrier to United Heartland from SFM as United Heartland came in with a much lower renewal quote. United Heartland has a good track record of helping intermediate districts. Workplace injuries are something we continue to focus efforts on, and are developing strategies to decrease the number and severity of the instances district-wide. Accepted the proposal from United Heartland to provide workersâ€™ compensation insurance for the period of May 1, 2019, through May 1, 2020, for a premium of $732,874.00. Approval of Adjustment to 2018-19 School Calendar The legislature passed, and the Governor signed, S.F. No.1743 to assist school districts in resolving the challenge of meeting state minimums for school attendance. Northeast Metro 916 did not have any snow days built into the calendar for 2018-2019. The District cancelled ďŹ ve days resulting in the District falling below the minimum for all programs, including those programs that count attendance in hours (the ALC programs, for example). The administration recommends the school board approve all ďŹ ve days that were cancelled due to health and safety concerns to be counted as instructional days. By doing so, the district will meet all other statutory requirements including but not limited to any reporting to MDE, salary payments for hourly employees and payments to any affected contractors who could not work those days. Approved the adjustment of the 2018-2019 school calendar as allowed in MN Statute for the 2018-2019 school year only. Board Forum Member Azer reported on her attendance at the NSBA Conference. She highlighted sessions on arts integration, social-emotional wellbeing and mental health, culinary and culture, and skills and career readiness. Member Delvo reported on her attendance at the NSBA Conference. She highlighted sessions on changes in the workplace, how to create happy environments, teaching to the test, and the ďŹ lm Screen Agers. Member Palmer reported on Columbia Heightsâ€™ partnership with the National Country Music Association Foundation. The district has also received approval for a pilot AP program. Member Oksnevad reported on MSBA Day at the Capitol where the Lieutenant Governor and Education Commissioner spoke. The AMSD meeting is next week. Nothing to report from SEE. Member Kelly reported that St. Francisâ€™s manufacturing program is now making parts for the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Member Forsberg noted that her granddaughter attended Metro Heights Academy. Her transcript from Spring Lake Park showed Pass/Fail instead of letter grades and how it affects the transfer of credits. Meeting Adjourned Adjourned the meeting at 7:17 p.m. Published one time in the Vadnais Heights Press on May 22, 2019.

Questions To Ask Your Financial Advisor You should always be able to ask as many questions as you’d like when working with your financial advisor. So, before you have your annual review, think carefully about what you’d like to ask. Here are a few suggestions: UÊ ÀiÊ ÞÊ} > ÃÊÃÌ ÊÀi> ÃÌ V¶Ê7 i ÊÞ Õ first began working with your financial advisor, you may well have articulated a number of financial goals. For example, you might have said that you wanted to pay for most of your children’s college educations, or that you wanted to retire at a certain age, or that you wanted to travel for two months each year during your retirement. In fact, you could have many different goals for which you’re saving > `Ê ÛiÃÌ }°Ê7 i ÊÞ ÕÊ iiÌÊÜ Ì ÊÞ ÕÀ financial advisor, you’ll certainly want to ask if you’re still on track toward meeting these goals.

If you watch the markets closely everyday and track their impact on your investments, you may find yourself fretting considerably over your investments’ value and wondering if you are taking on too much investment risk for your comfort level. Conversely, if you think that during an extended period of market gains your own portfolio appears to be lagging, you might feel that you should be investing more aggressively, which entails greater risk. In any case, it’s important that you know your own risk tolerance and use it as a }Õ ì iÊv ÀÊ > }Ê ÛiÃÌ i ÌÊV ViÃÊq

How to maximize your social security benefits without breaking the rules T

he Social Security rule book is so long, complex and ever-changing that even Social Security employees don’t understand it all. And among the trickiest questions are those related to the death of a spouse. So we went to one of the most knowledgeable Social Security experts in the country and asked for answers to some of the thorniest questions that widowed Social Security recipients often ask. His answers can help you maximize your benefits without breaking tricky rules and potentially losing money… My wife died after I started my Social Security benefits. Can I now suspend my benefits and claim widower’s benefits based on my late wife’s earnings so that my own benefits can increase until I claim them at age 70? (My benefits are larger than my wife’s.) These sorts of situations come up all the time. Unfortunately, in this case the answer is no—once you begin taking your own retirement benefits, you cannot suspend them and claim a widower’s benefit instead. There is one potential way around this. If no more than 12 months has passed since you began receiving your benefits, you have the option of withdrawing your application for retirement benefits by filing form SSA521 and repaying all of the benefits you have thus far received (including any benefits paid

to your children or late wife based on your earnings history). If you do that, it’s like you never applied for your benefits in the first place, freeing you to claim widower’s benefits until you reach age 70, at which point your own benefits will reach their maximum level (aside from future cost-of-living adjustments). You are limited to no more than one application withdrawal of this type for your entire life. My husband died decades ago when we were quite young. I’m now nearing retirement age. Can I collect widow’s benefits based on his earnings even though he was in the workforce only a few years? You probably can. This comes as a surprise to some people because wage earners typically need at least 10 years in the workforce to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, but different rules apply with the benefits of a widow or widower. The younger the age at which the spouse died, the less work history that is required. The system for calculating this is complex, but as few as six “credits” can be all that’s needed when a spouse dies young—and six credits can be earned in less than two full working years. There are a few caveats worth noting, though. To be eligible for widow’s benefits, you must have been married to your late spouse for at least nine months prior to

Charitable giving: Where head and heart meet How can a person support organizations that help people in need? Some may choose to give their time and abilities through volunteer service while others may provide financial support. Charitable giving provides an opportunity to engage both your head and your heart in making a difference. The following tips can help donors make the most of their charitable gifts: What’s the purpose and impact. Never give to an organization without first knowing its purpose and effectiveness. Does it align with your personal values and goals? The BBB Wise Giving Alliance or Charity Navigator can help you evaluate your options. Budget for donations. Systematic gifts spread throughout the year may help donors give more than if they give a one-time gift based on their financial leftovers. Keep good records. To deduct donations for tax purposes, people must keep an appropriate record of their contributions1. The type and value of one’s gift may require specific forms of acknowledgement from the recipient organization. For details, see Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Publication 526. Take advantage of tax benefits. In order for a charitable donation to be tax-deductible, the charity must be recognized by the IRS as a qualified organization. Most organizations can confirm their status or you can verify independently at IRS.gov. Give generously and wisely. From wills, living trusts, donor advised funds, charitable gift annuities, endowments and mini-foundations, to gifts of appreciated stock, retirement accounts or real estate, there are many vehicles through which individuals can make charitable gifts. Some of these are better for lifetime giving while others are better for giving through your estate at death. Special care should be given when determining the option that meets one’s financial circumstances. Gifting some assets to IRS-recognized charities may potentially reduce capital gains tax or income tax. Life insurance may also be an excellent option to magnify a gift or to replace wealth for family after making a large planned gift to a charity. Consult with experts. Always consult with a financial, legal and/or tax professional before putting a gifting plan into action. When moved to make a difference, donors should remember there are many options for making a financial gift. Just be sure to explore the options and enlist the appropriate professional support along the way. By fully planning a charitable gift, a person can ensure their head and their heart are satisfied. A couple local community foundations making impact and that provide various planned giving solutions are the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation and InFaith Community Foundation.

his death. (This nine-month requirement is waived if the spouse died in active military service or under certain other circumstances.) And you must not currently be remarried unless you did not remarry until you were at least 60 years old. I’m about to reach my full retirement age of 66, but I had been planning to wait until age 70 to start Social Security to get as much as possible each month. However, my husband passed away, and my widow’s benefit would be larger than my own benefit. Should I put off claiming my widow’s benefit until age 70, too? No. Unlike your own benefit, widow’s benefits never grow any larger than they are when you reach your full retirement age. There is no upside to delaying claiming a widow’s benefit any longer than that, and there is considerable downside to doing so—you would miss out on four years of monthly benefits. I know my monthly Social Security retirement benefits will be less if I start collecting as soon as I become eligible at age 62 rather than wait until my full retirement age. But if I switch to a widow’s benefit based on my late husband’s benefit when I reach full retirement age, will that be reduced, too, because I started my own benefit early? He waited until his full retirement age before claiming. Your plan to claim your own benefits now and switch to widow’s benefits later sounds reasonable. Here’s why: If you were to claim your widow’s benefit before you reach full retirement age, you would not receive your late husband’s full benefit even though he waited until his full retirement age to start claiming. Instead, it would be permanently reduced because you took it early. By waiting until your full retirement age to claim the widow’s benefit, you will receive his full benefit even though you started your own benefit early. My first marriage ended with my husband’s death, and my second ended in divorce. Will I be able to claim a widow’s benefit based on my first husband’s earnings?

You probably can, as long as your first marriage lasted at least nine months. As you might already know, remarrying before you turn age 60 typically negates the right to claim a widow’s benefit based on an earlier marriage. But if you are no longer married, you once again are entitled to receive your widow’s benefit from your first marriage. Social Security Marital Benefits Without the Wedding You might be entitled to widow’s or spousal Social Security benefits even if you never actually wed your partner. The Social Security Administration recognizes common-law marriages—marriages where there was no official marriage ceremony or license but the couple lived together for an extended period as if married. But it does so only if the common-law marriage is recognized under the laws of the state where the Social Security recipient and his/her partner reside, or previously resided together, or if common-law marriages were recognized by the state when they lived there. Commonlaw marriages are recognized in Alabama, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Utah. In several other states, common-law marriages that were entered into before specified dates are recognized. The burden of proof will be on you to establish that the relationship qualifies (or qualified, in the case of widowhood) as a common-law marriage. Bottom line: There are people who qualify for valuable spousal and widow’s benefits despite the fact that they never officially wed—and many of them probably don’t realize it. Source: Laurence J.

5 money mavens reveal their most memorable mistakes Everyone has made mistakes with money that he/she would rather forget—even some of the country’s shrewdest financial pros. Bottom Line Personal asked five money mavens to recount their most memorable blunders…and what lessons they learned that could be useful to investors and consumers of all ages. Here are their answers…

average of just 57% of the amount loaned. Mark Germain, CFP, is founder and CEO of Beacon Wealth Management, a financial advisory firm with more than $250 million in assets under management, Hackensack, New Jersey. BWMllc. com

Mistake: I was so reluctant to sell a stock that I turned what should have been a minor loss into an enormous one. In the late 1990s, I invested $50,000 in Bibb Manufacturing Company, a centuryold textile maker that produced bedding and towels for Walmart and other retailers. I had studied the company for months and thought it was a bargain at $12 per share. But something unforeseen happened. The price of cotton soared, driving up costs for textile makers. The stock dipped below my purchase price, but I wasn’t going to be deterred by a little volatility. At every leg down, I didn’t want to admit that I was wrong or turn a loss on paper into a real one, so I came up with sophisticated rationalizations to hang on. By the time I dumped the stock at $6, half my investment was gone. The company never recovered, went bankrupt and was taken over by a competitor. Lesson learned: Don’t make exceptions to a valuable rule. The rule that I violated: When a stock falls 10% below my purchase price, I sell it. No exceptions. Why 10%? That’s the point at which you must start gaining noticeably more (12% in this case) than you lost just to get back to even. My rule doesn’t always work out. Sometimes stocks do bounce back strongly. But it guarantees that I never take a big loss, which is what really ruins investors’ long-term returns because it can take so long to recover. Terri Spath CFA, CFP, is chief investment officer at Sierra Investment Management, a financial advisory firm that manages $3.4 billion in assets, Santa Monica, California. SierraInvestment.com

Mistake: I wasn’t careful enough when I took the required minimum distribution (RMD) from my IRA—and I had to deal with a 50% penalty. A few years ago, I decided to use the money from my RMD, which I’ve been taking since age 70½ (as required by IRS rules), to contribute to my favorite charities. I was careful to follow the rules, requesting that my IRA provider send me nine checks payable to nine different charities. I mailed the checks to the charities well before the deadline of December 31, but I didn’t notice that one charity never sent me back a receipt. In February of the following year, I received a surprise notice from the IRA provider. It turns out that one of the charities had never received (and therefore never cashed) its check, and my IRA provider had added the amount of the check back to my account. That meant I had a shortfall of $500 in my RMD for the year just ended. I quickly got a new check and resent it to the charity, but by the time I did that, I owed the IRS a $250 penalty. Lesson learned: You can’t rely on your financial adviser or brokerage to make sure that you take the correct RMDs from your IRAs and other retirement accounts—or even to tell you

if a requested distribution somehow fails. You should always do a final review in late December to make sure you are in compliance. Good news: The IRS gives seniors a break if an RMD mistake is deemed to be legitimately beyond their control. (For directions on challenging an RMD compliance penalty, go to IRS.gov and search for “IRA Required Minimum Distributions FAQs.”) I appealed my penalty on the notion that a check sent through the US mail should not have failed to arrive. The IRS agreed, and I did not have to pay the penalty, although it cost me months of letter writing, documentation and aggravation. Natalie Choate, JD, is an attorney specializing in estate planning for retirement benefits at the law firm of Nutter McClennen & Fish, Boston. Nutter. com

Mistake: When I gave a close family member a large loan, I thought I was being smart by drawing up a promissory note—but I never considered what I would do if the family member couldn’t pay me back. A relative approached me for a six-figure loan he wanted to use to buy some property. I’m well aware that big loans should be made “official” even among family members, so we went to an attorney and signed a formal loan agreement that said he would pay me back over three years at 6% interest. Unfortunately, my relative got sick and wound up in and out of the hospital for two years, unable to make even minimum payments to me. Even worse, he couldn’t afford to pay the municipal taxes on the property and was at risk of having it confiscated by the city. I had to shell out another $20,000 just to cover his taxes. With the interest and principal payments, plus the additional property-tax loan, what he owed me ballooned. But I wasn’t about to ruin relationships in the family by taking him to court and winning a judgment. My three-year loan has now turned into a 12-year loan that may never be fully paid back. Lesson learned: No matter how businesslike you are, it’s not smart to loan money to family and friends unless you will be OK both financially and emotionally if you are not paid back. A study by Lending Tree found that people who lend money to their relatives get back an

Mistake: I bought a house for the wrong reasons. When I took a new job in Missouri in 2016, I wanted to take advantage of low mortgage interest rates before they might rise. I also wanted to avoid the expense and bother of putting my possessions in storage and having to do a major move twice. Under time pressure before starting the new job, I chose a home after only two days of looking. The professional inspection turned up problems, but my real estate agent convinced me that the issues were minor. I convinced myself that they were manageable because I wanted to feel settled and secure. The house turned out to be a money pit requiring tens of thousands of dollars in repairs. Lesson learned: For much of the past decade, buying instead of renting seemed like a nobrainer. But renting can be more financially efficient in the long run if it gives you the time to do a thorough search and evaluate the realistic costs of owning a home. Recently, rising mortgage rates and high home prices in many areas have made the decision to buy an even more complicated one. The monthly costs of buying and owning a home are up 14% over the past year, more than three times the annual increase in rent rates nationally. Amy J. Schmitz, JD, is the Elwood L. Thomas Missouri Endowed Professor of Law at University of Missouri School of Law, Columbia. Law.Missouri.edu/about/people/schmitz

Mistake: I got an exciting stock tip from a trusted friend and invested without doing my own research. Back in 2010, I invested in a Toronto company called Element 21 that dealt in rare-earth metals. These little-known industrial metals are essential components in electric cars and missile-guidance systems. My friend, who was a very successful businessman, told me that rare-earth metals stocks were about to soar. I was so intrigued that I bought nearly $12,000 worth of shares. But it turns out that Element 21 was a sportsequipment company focused on developing golf clubs using alloys of a rare-earth metal called scandium. Scandium never did revolutionize the golfing industry…and I lost 95% of my investment. Lesson learned: Do your own research about a stock before you invest—even if someone you trust says that it’s a good bet. At the very least, do an online search on the company, read some professional analysis of the stock and understand what could go wrong if you invest. This lets you judge the risk you are taking and whether that risk aligns with your personal goals and needs, something that well-meaning people who feed you stock tips may not be considering.

Itâ€™s tough to put a positive spin on recent weather events but we did enjoy a brief period of warm weather last week, which included our ďŹ rst 80Âş day since mid September when we reached 81Âş on May 16. The weather that followed wasnâ€™t so pleasant. Overnight thunderstorms on Saturday got the weekend off to a wet start. Although dry during the day, the wind and the cold didnâ€™t make for a great day. Just when you thought it couldnâ€™t get any worse, it rained much of the day Sunday, and snow was mixed in with the rain at times in the afternoon. A frost Monday morning may have gotten some tender plants for over eager gardeners. Memorial Day is Monday and I doubt weâ€™ll repeat last yearâ€™s 100Âş temperature.

The oldest rocks in the Grand Canyon are almost two billion years old.
