White Bear Center for the Arts continues to develop through 2000-2009 This is the fifth in a series of installments to mark the 50th anniversary of the White Bear Center for the Arts in 2018. The Art Center celebrated its 35th anniversary with a new brochure. Administratively, Suzi Hudson was hired as part-time executive director, and Danielle Cezanne was hired as offi ce assistant and later was named as education director.
The Art Center began looking into adding more space for lessons as enrollment outpaced the space available in the armory. Some classes were offered in the Masonic Center and the United Methodist Church. The Tamarack Nature Center site was explored and Friday art classes and basket weaving, a holiday party, and a raku picnic were held there. Imagine Art offered classes in watercolor, preschool ABC’s, crafts
and illustrating,developing kids’ books, ballet and clay. Displays of artwork were hung at Dunn Brothers in White Bear and White Bear Racquet and Swim. Iron Pour was a new event offered. Kelly Ludeking introduced the concept to the WBCA. Recycled cast iron pieces were melted and cast into tiles. This successful annual event was held in the parking lot behind Washington Square. Another new one-time event was the Governor’s Fishing Opener. WBCA held an interactive art booth where fish prints were made. Art Fest, Art in the Garden tour (where artists paint in actual gardens), art tour buses to various locations, Open Canvas, Music in the Park and the continuation of WriteNow, Northern Lights, Sandcastles and Members’ Show, were offerings during the 2000s. Participation in the Manitou Days Parade included art cars. Art in the White Bear Lake Elementary Schools began in 2009 with instructor Kyle Frederickson, who taught watercolor classes to every child. The Art Center developed new outreach programs to broaden its approach to diverse populations. A new collaboration was formed in 2009 between East Metro Women’s Council (now Solid Ground), Century College, Zamya Theater and WBCA to spotlight the plight of the homeless, increase public awareness of the above organizations and demonstrate the power of art to address social issues and conversations. The Art Center continued to outgrow its space in the armory, so the board of directors seriously began looking for a new home. The city offered an abandoned house, which was not accepted. The consultation of Crowley, White and Associates was pursued as a means to fi nd a permanent facility. One idea explored was the Marina Village Art Center. Another idea was the use of the former Premier Bank building, which was also found not suitable. Meanwhile, the search continued. Next month, 2010-2018 will be featured.

21 to buy cigarettes
S
horeview has taken the lead in creating barriers for young adults to access cigarettes and tobacco-related devices by changing the legal age to buy them to 21. Cities often lead states with their local laws. This seems to be another good move for our communities. It makes me wonder if there is something more we should be doing about vaping. Vaping is essentially the hot new version of cigarette smoking. It’s like an electronic cigarette that vaporizes liquid which is inhaled. There hasn’t been a lot of research on long-term health consequences. The new local laws to restrict smoking are a step in the right direction. Some local Publisher’s businesses may need your help to offset the decrease in their revenue View stream from cigarette sales. I challenge everyone who feels this is a Carter Johnson good law to go out and shop at the local gas stations and other stores that th t typically t i ll sell cigarettes as a way to show your support for the law. Congratulations to the city of Shoreview and the future of our great state. Fortnite game Our average reader may remember building a fort outside or around the house and playing in it for hours. These days kids aren’t playing in forts, but playing Fortnite – a video game that is sweeping the country, if not the world. I imagine nearly every parent with a kid in the age range of 8-18 knows what I’m talking about. The game created in 2016 is a relatively non-violent, last man standing concept. Roughly 70 to 100 players enter a game by connecting over the internet and with the use of headsets as their digital cartoon-like character battles it out for the last team standing. Games take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. There is shooting, but no blood or gore. Kids can spend money to buy ‘skins’ to make their character look better or a battle pass to unlock different challenges. It has amazing graphics and is easy for gamers to learn how to play, yet it has some depth. Our 11-year-old son rushes home from school or after school sports and can’t wait to play. He logs in with friends from school and laughs as they talk and strategize how to win the game. Listening in from another room, you would think he has a group of guys over. Even my eighth-grade daughter has gotten into it. If I were to make a recommendation to the designers of the game, it would be to make a version where you don’t kill anyone but rather use paintball bullets. Growing up I was never allowed to point a toy gun at another person, let alone play a game where winning was based on shooting others. There are far more violent video games than Fortnite out there, and as parents we need to know what games our kids are into. Interact and engage with them by getting online and playing the games yourself. Know the kids they are playing with and hold them accountable. As always make sure their interactions are respectful.

Thank you veterans “Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men, and so it must be daily earned and refreshed – else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.” – President Dwight Eisenhower
M
emorial Day recognizes our veterans for the sacrifices they have made to support our freedom. group is more Legislator No deserving of recognition than Lingo veterans. To put your civilChuck Wiger ian life on hold in order to serve your country is honorable and worthy of public thanks. I am grateful for the service of all veterans. In my immediate family, my father served in WWII and suffered a permanent injury as a result. My daughter Angelina served in Iraq and, after earning her college degree through the GI bill, today works as a social worker at the veterans’ home in Hastings. Memorial Day has its roots in the first observance of Decoration Day, celebrated May 30, 1868, to commemorate all the fallen soldiers in the Civil War. Historians believe this day was chosen because it did not share an anniversary with any Civil War battles. Others say it was chosen because flowers would be in bloom across the country.
On Monday, May 28, we will recognize all those who have fought and continue to fight for our freedom in America and abroad. We are able to live in a freer country because of the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting this great nation. That includes hundreds of area residents serving as brave soldiers. Many have died or suffered serious permanent injuries, and some live the remainder of their life in vet homes or hospitals. Volunteer to help out if you can. Military service changes a person. A member of the Disabled American Veterans group once told me that in some ways, all veterans return to civilian life with scars, visible or invisible. Veterans deserve to have their sacrifices recognized. Make sure to take this time to thank and commemorate all of our veterans, past and present, for all they have done to ensure our freedom. Pray for them and their families. Here is a poem written on the battlefield in Belgium by Lt. Col. John McCrae during World War I in 1915. It is probably the most famous Memorial Day poem of all time. Flanders Field In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead: Short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved: and now we lie In Flanders fields! Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw The torch: be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields
On this Memorial Day, wear your red poppies as a symbol for remembrance. Be sure to thank and hug a vet in appreciation. I also want to thank members of the local American Legion and VFW posts, and their auxiliaries, plus the Disabled American Veterans groups and the many dedicated workers at our Veterans Hospitals and nursing homes. There are many area Memorial Day ceremonies and events. White Bear Lake The Keep Zimmer VFW Post 1782 is sponsoring a full day of events on May 28. The festivities begin with a parade at 9:30 a.m. that starts at City Hall. At 2 p.m., a memorial ceremony will be held at Veteran Memorial Park. Mahtomedi The American Legion Parade will be held this Memorial Day on May 28 beginning at 9 a.m. The parade starts at Mahtomedi High School and the route follows Stillwater Road to Triangle Park. There will be a ceremony following the parade at the park. Because we love our country and appreciate our veterans, please take the time on Memorial Day to give thanks for our blessings. As President Eisenhower wrote, freedom must be nurtured and tended on a daily basis or it will wither and die. Chuck Wiger is State Senator representing District 43.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
P i ffor Shoreview’s Praise Sh i ’ new ttobacco b ordinance
I would like to thank the Shoreview City Council for protecting the health of its youth by raising the tobacco sales age to 21. I’m a senior at Mounds View High and a student representative for the Shoreview Human Rights Commission. This ordinance will help keep tobacco out of the high schools. While 18- to 20-year-olds make up a small percentage of a retailer’s profit, they are the main pipeline for distributing tobacco to younger students. Younger students all know someone who is 18, but very few of them know someone who is 21 and willing to buy tobacco for them. The tobacco industry needs replacement smokers and now, more than ever, it is targeting marginalized communities such as African Americans, youth, Native Americans, low-income families and the LGBTQ community. The tobacco industry makes huge profits at the expense of our youth. The easiest way to prevent youth from smoking is to ensure they never start. Almost 95 percent of current smokers started before they were 21. If youth don’t start by then, they likely never will. This policy will help ensure future generations of youth won’t get manipulated by the tobacco industry’s predatory tactics. Thanks again to the City Council for helping create a healthier community.

Embracing solar in Mahtomedi and White Bear Lake
Minnesota’s clean energy economy has grown impressively in the last decade — 5.3 percent since 2015, adding more than 2,800 jobs. Minnesota added 203 megawatts of new solar electricity in the fi rst quarter of 2017 — that’s equal to the total megawatts of solar electricity added in all of 2016.
The City of Mahtomedi is doing its part to supsup port solar energy by subscribing to a community solar garden in Chisago County for 671,600 kWh of energy, resulting in a fi rst-year energy bill savings of $6,716 and a 25-year energy bill savings of $158,201. A new opportunity is opening up in the Mahtomedi and White Bear Lake area for homeowners to purchase solar panels for their home at a discounted price. The Mahtomedi Solar Co-Op is an opportunity for a group of homeowners to select a quality solar installer as a group, which qualifies them for a group discount. Each homeowner will have their own installation process and contract with the installer, but the “group” part of this comes from the bulk purchasing discount and from the guided selection of a single solar installer. Solar United Neighbors, an installer-neutral, nonprofit organization, helps the homeowners fi nd the right installer for their needs. To learn more about solar energy for your home and the Mahtomedi Solar Co-Op, you are invited to attend a Mahtomedi Solar Co-Op Info Session at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 31, at the Mahtomedi District Education Center (1520 Mahtomedi Ave.). Jeff Ledermann Mahtomedi
Rethink cable franchising
We need to rethink terms of cable franchising here in our community. Comcast installed a temporary cord Nov. 1 for service from their box on my lot to the front of my home. They still have not scheduled anyone to complete the installation. You can no longer directly dial Comcast locally; only a 1-800 number is provided, which ends up being answered in the Philippines. Now that three seasons have come and gone, it is impossible to care for the grass with that orange and black wire diagonally across the front yard. A beautiful black wire graces the beige-colored brick facade of the housefront. Leaving endless messages without any solid answer other than “Our fi rst opening is in July” is unacceptable.

4 Square Flats community meeting date changed
installaComcast no longer even does its own installa tions; they are contracted out to third-party fi rms. Where are our cable representatives protecting us when they allow this franchisee to get away with very bad behavior? White Bear Township and the City of White Bear Lake should forbid Comcast and their salespersons from going door to door promising service terms that are not fulfi lled. The business card left by the representative with her telephone number also goes unanswered. How about rules in the township and city forbidding their solicitations to homeowners? This should become effective immediately until the company shows they fulfi ll their promises and obligations. Jeanine Boyd White Bear Township
Oppose new development
I’m opposed to the proposed development of 4 Square Flats at the intersection of Bellaire Avenue and County Road E East. Placing 100 housing units on that one intersection, on the small properties available, has all kinds of ramifications. The buildings would be built right up to the sidewalk, making the sight lines on an already busy intersection even less. The added traffic going in and out of those properties will add to congestion. The three-story buildings on the highest point in Ramsey County would dwarf everything else in the neighborhood and community. It seems to me that the winners if this project goes through are the developer, who doesn’t even live in the state; the architect; eventually, the City of White Bear Lake and Ramsey County, who will benefit from the tax base; and the Met Council. You can see what the Met Council is doing in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Met Council loves dense housing and they want the size of roads reduced to promote their subsidized public transportation and the use of bikes. All of the citizens of White Bear should take an interest in this for a number of reasons. If it’s approved, the precedent has been established for more of this dense-type of development in other areas of the community. Secondly, this project will not go forward without a Met Council grant (your tax money) and tax increment fi nancing (reduced property tax for the developer). That’s the government-backed “Go fund me.” I urge everyone to attend the June 6 meeting at 6 p.m. at the Century College Theatre, West Campus. Bill Kolesar White Bear Lake

3 dogs rescued from house fi re BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Three dogs were rescued from a house fire on Grand Avenue just north of County Road E the afternoon of May 18. One of the dogs was seizing after being rescued from the fire, said White Bear Lake Fire Captain Greg Peterson. Two of the dogs were put on oxygen. “They are all OK now,” Peterson said. There were no people in the home at the time. A possible cause of the fire is one of the dogs jumping up and bumping a burner on, Peterson said. The fire started in the kitchen about 12:30. The damage in the house was primarily limited to the kitchen.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:
Vadnais Heights • A pair of teen female shoplifters at Target on County Road E the evening of May 9 were interrupted by store asset protection employees. The 18-year-old from White Bear Lake and the 19-year-old out of Oakdale handed over a total of $140 worth of swimwear and jewelry. They were cited and released. • Deputies were called to the NE Metro Wells North special education facility on Willow Lake Boulevard the morning of May 10 concerning a 19-year-old male student acting out. The deputies lent a calming influence and things at the school returned to normal. • A worker reported the ’99 Ford 250 pickup belonging to his employer had gone missing from his driveway in the 3500 block of Arcade Street overnight May 10 along with a Honda generator that was in the back. The truck was recovered on St. Paul’s Eastside later that day without the generator, valued at $3,000. • A tough life began for four kittens born in an alley May 12 in the 700 block of Manor Street.
No one was home at the address, according to a caller, and the cats were found to be of the feral variety. According to policy #821, feral cats are not picked up or cared for by the county. • A resident reported arriving home in the 100 block of County Road F late the night of May 12 to find evidence of a burglary. The 42-year-old did not notice anything missing at the time, but in the light of day she found her Xbox console and an iPad had been stolen. No forced entry. No suspects. • An abandoned Nissan F47 with expired plates parked in the 3200 block of Edgerton Street for the past two months was finally towed away May 14 by the city. • A woman, 51, who had broken up with her boyfriend several weeks earlier and has an order for protection against him, found her vehicle’s brake line cut and an apparent foreign substance in her gas tank the morning of May 15. The ex-boyfriend may have sealed his fate however, when an investigator found a receipt signed by the 47-year-old at the scene of the crime. A pick-up-and-hold order has been issued and the investigation continues.
White Bear Township • A 2000 black Ducati motorcycle was reported stolen overnight May 9 from the driveway of a residence in the 4300 block of Oakmede Lane. The owner said the motorcycle was worth $2,000 but he had been asking $1,500. There were no keys with the bike. • A petrol pirate pumped $30 worth into a vehicle described only as a “silver Chevy” at midday May 13 at a station in the 5900 block of Highway 61 before fleeing the scene. The vehicle’s owner came back as a 21-year-old female, but a witness described the driver as a male. • A mole exterminator present in the fenced backyard of a residence in the 1100 block of Anderson Lane the morning of May 15 to install mole traps turned his backside and was bitten on the ankle by an unseen Jack Russell Terrier mix. The ankle biter was quarantined (will be kept at home) for 10 days. • Mail thefts from curbside boxes, a problem since last October, are continuing in the Birch Lake Ponds housing development. Much of the mail has been recovered in the neighborhood. Residents are reminded to not use their curbside box for outgoing mail, especially checks.

Shoreview fi rst in northeast metro to restrict young adult tobacco sales TOBACCO AND TOBACCO-RELATED DEVICES DEFINED
BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
SHOREVIEW — This summer, tobacco and related devices will no longer be sold to people under the age of 21 within city limits. The change to the city’s ordinance was made May 7 in front of about 30 youth wearing T-shirts promoting the “Tobacco 21” initiative, a national campaign that has begun to influence the state. Shoreview is the sixth municipality in the state to adopt a law restricting tobacco sales to those 21 or older. Last May, Edina was the fi rst. Students from Mounds View High School spoke to the City Council about why they wanted it to increase the minimum purchasing age from 18 to 21. Classmates use e-cigarettes in the parking lot, school bathrooms, at home and at parties, said senior Meghan McFarling, who was last year’s National Youth Ambassador for Minnesota with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. Vaping among youth has exploded in popularity, McFarling said. E-cigarettes and Juuls create a vapor laced with nicotine. They come in different shapes and flavors so that adults do not even sometimes recognize them as a nicotine device. They can be recharged in computers. Students said they see classmates using Juuls and vapes in the school hallways and under their desks in class. Bathrooms have been closed temporarily because so many students are vaping inside. Students said raising the minimum purchasing age from 18 to 21 will make it harder for younger students to access the products since they know lots of 18-year-olds, but not many 21-year-olds. Community members also spoke in favor of the new ordinance. Dr. Mark Eggen, who lives in Shoreview, said Juuls create nicotine addiction despite the manufacturer’s claims to help smokers choose a better alternative. “They are not like things the medical community advocates to quit smoking — like nicotine patches,” Eggen said. “These I look at as stepping stones to using tobacco.” Shoreview Human Rights Commission member Eugene Nichols, who is also on the Saint Paul-Ramsey County Public Health’s Community Health Services Advisory Committee, said tobacco is the number one preventable cause of death in the state. “We cannot allow the tobacco industry to prey on another generation,” he said. Minnesota youth nicotine use increased last year for the fi rst time since 2000 due to a recent increase in e-cigarette and vaping device use, according to a Minnesota Department of Health survey. Data shows 1 in 5 high school
Ni ti Nicotine: A stimulant ti l t ffound d iin th the nightshade i ht h d ffamily il off plants. l t Tobacco: A product prepared from the leaves of the tobacco plant. Cigarette: Smoking — burns tobacco leaves rolled in paper. E-cigarette: Vaping — vaporizes liquid nicotine extracted from plant. E-liquid: A mixture used in e-cigarettes that often contains nicotine. Its makeup is typically 95 percent propylene glycol and glycerin. Juul: A type of e-cigarette popular among today’s youth. It is shaped like a USB drive, charges in a computer and comes in various flavors.
BY THE NUMBERS 26.4% of Minnesota high school students use tobacco 20% use e-cigarettes 1 in 3 students who use e-cigarettes report trying the device with marijuana 2 times as likely to smoke if used e-cigarettes SOURCE: MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
JUUL | SUBMITTED
The Juul is a type of e-cigarette popular among today’s youth despite the company’s mission to help smokers choose a better alternative, not attract young people to nicotine products. The company has pledged to support the Tobacco 21 law at state and federal levels with $30 million over the next three years.
students use e-cigarettes, a 50 percent increase since data was last collected in 2014. Those who use e-cigarettes are twice as likely to try smoking. Nine out of 10 cigarette smokers fi rst tried smoking by age 18, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Opposition cites ‘competitive disadvantage’
The Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce opposed the ordinance because it would cause a “competitive disadvantage” to gas stations in the city, said Board Chair Andy Voorhees. Three of the city’s seven convenience stores have competition literally across the street, he said. “You have shopping patterns that you are changing,” he noted. He said he applauded the city for trying to protect youth from tobacco, but said the change should be made at the state level. “I think we are delusional if we think something like passing this ordinance is going to change smoking behaviors, because we all know the power of addiction,” he said. J.R. Fielding & Co. tobacco shop owner
David Beahrs likened the Tobacco 21 law to what happened in Chicago in 1925 during the national prohibition. He said the law would just put money into the hands of criminals who will sell tobacco illegally. “In prohibition is profit,” he noted. He said his shop sells responsibly and doesn’t cater to the high school crowd. He said it would be wrong to not be able to sell a 20-year-old combat veteran a celebratory cigar. Beahrs left in a huff after expressing angst toward the council that the day also happened to be the sixth anniversary of a decision by a preceding council to ban smoking in his shop. The city has 10 businesses that are licensed to sell tobacco, said Renee Eisenbeisz, assistant to the Shoreview city manager. They were all notified of the potential law change and the city heard from two who oppose the law. The city’s Economic Development Commission opposed the ordinance, Eisenbeisz reported. The commission had recommended 7-1 not to increase the minimum age to purchase tobacco because it would put the city’s businesses at a competitive disadvantage to other cities. They said the tobacco sale age should be increased at the state level. A bill for a Tobacco 21 law was discussed at the Legislature this year but has not advanced.
Undivided council support: City decisions influence state
Councilman Cory Springhorn said cities often lead the way to a state change. He cited as an example the city of Moose Lake, which was the first to prohibit smoking in bars and restaurants years ago. The change swept to other cities and, fi nally, the state level. He said he plans to make an effort to mitigate lost sales to Shoreview businesses by trying to buy gas only in Shoreview. He said he hopes bordering cities will pass a similar ordinance. Councilman Terry Quigley said he
grew up in the “smoking generation” and although he never smoked he has experienced health issues due to secondhand smoke. He is a former president of the American Lung Association in Ramsey County. Mayor Sandy Martin said she agreed with the Twin Cities Chamber that the state ought to pass a law but noted that cities play an influential role in gaining the state’s attention. “We waited a whole year for the state to do something and thought it might happen, but we have been told by legislators it is more likely to happen if cities continue to pass (tobacco sales restriction ordinances),” she said. “We would like it if cities in Ramsey County would follow our lead.” The city has a 30-year history of being on the cutting edge of tobacco restriction. In 1990, it was the second city in the state to restrict tobacco products in vending machines, Martin said. White Bear Lake was fi rst. Shoreview’s newest ordinance will become effective July 1. It includes restrictions on tobacco-related products and tobacco-related devices. Other cities in Minnesota that have adopted a Tobacco 21 law include Bloomington, North Mankato, Plymouth and St. Louis Park, Eisenbeisz said. Falcon Heights passed the same ordinance two days after Shoreview on May 9. Five states have such laws — California, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey and Oregon, according to the Tobacco 21 website. About 300 cities and counties across the nation have adopted the change. JUUL Labs, the manufacturer of Juuls, has pledged to support the Tobacco 21 law at state and federal levels with $30 million over the next three years, according to its website. The company’s mission, it says, is to help smokers choose a better alternative, not attract young people to nicotine products.

A child’s perspective of wartime England BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Alma Kochlin was 7 years old when Nazi Germany turned its bombers on England in September 1940. She has vivid memories of the 6-foot pit dug into the earth behind her house for the family’s bomb shelter. It was covered with corrugated metal and sod to camoufl age the hiding place from the air. Just about everything was rationed. The family shared one metal comb because that’s all they were allotted. There was little meat, 2 ounces a week, which was saved for her father, “because he was the worker,” Kochlin said. Fortunately, their home in Sale was far north of London, which was pummeled by the Germans for 56 consecutive days during the blitz. But they were in the line of sight for Manchester, a seaport 6 miles from Sale and targeted by the Luftwaffe, the German Air Force. A church was bombed in her town, and the local Woolworth’s. Looking back, Kochlin speculates that if bombers flying overhead to Manchester didn’t make their target, they would drops bombs here and there on their way back across England. She will never forget the sound of the bombs or the sound of the sirens. “The bombs would come screaming down and when you didn’t hear them, you waited for the explosion,” she recalled. With her lovely British lilt, the 85-year-old grandmother and great-grandmother talked about her memories of World War II in her cozy White Bear Lake apartment. The day was May 8, coincidentally the day victory was declared in Europe, or VE Day, in 1945. So how did she end up in Minnesota? Love. Kochlin married an American GI she met in Sale when her neighbor asked her to double date. “I remember my mum saying, ‘I hope you’re not going to America,’ before I even left the house,” she laughed. Marry him she did in 1954. Don Kochlin was from St. Paul. A career airman, he brought his bride to the States in ‘55, moving his growing family to Air Force bases like Minot, N.D., the Pentagon and even returning to England for a duty station. They had three children, one of whom, William, lives in White Bear Lake. He persuaded his mother to move to White Bear 11 years ago from South St. Paul. Don died in 2000. During the war, Kochlin’s father, Jim Royle, a furrier, was called to duty as a town warden. “He had a lazy eye, so he wasn’t drafted,” she said. “His job was to stand on the roof of buildings watching for fi res.” At night, the streets were pitch black. Curtains, lined with blackout material, were drawn tightly closed. Wardens knocked on your door if a crack of light showed through. Windows were crisscrossed with tape in case the glass exploded. Everyone was required to carry “tin hats” and gas masks. Her 9-year-old sister had a Mickey Mouse gas mask. Fortunately, they never had to use them. Food was rationed, but a resourceful mother never let them go hungry, Kochlin said. There were separate shops for everything in those days. The fishmonger had seafood; there was a bakery for bread and a greengrocer for vegetables. “I’ll never forget my mom, pregnant with my younger brother, jumping on her bike to stand in line when she heard there were bananas. We were rationed for everything.” The diffi culties facing families during the war is also something Kochlin won’t forget. She remembers too, a truck pulling up to their iron gate and taking it. They took all the metal

gates in town for a nearby ammunition plant. Candy was rationed and chocolate was very rare. “When the Americans arrived, a favorite saying when we saw a GI walking down the road was ‘got any gum, chum?’” she said. “They would reach in their pockets and throw the gum. We would scramble to get it.” Kochlin said she didn’t realize at the time the things women went without. There were no stockings or makeup. Her mother, Elsie, never went anywhere without her hat and gloves, even on a bike, and women always wore skirts. To cover their bare legs, her mother and aunt would brush on a brown gravy and draw a black line up the back to look like a stocking seam. Children would get their feet measured at school to get coupons for shoes. A brick bomb shelter was built along the road to school in case they heard planes. Air raid sirens never went off when school was in session. Germany surrendered May 8, 1945, ending the war in Europe. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill learned of the surrender on May 7, but made no official announcement until later that evening. An offi cial announcement declared Tuesday, May 8 as Victory in Europe Day. “It doesn’t seem that long ago,” Kochlin said, adding, “after having a family myself, I realized what my parents went through. We lived day to day, but I don’t remember hunger.”

Water for life group hosts African visitor White Bear Lake-based H2O for Life hosted a visitor from Tanzania last month. N'nyapule Madai is a Humphrey Fellow and recipient of the 2017 Distinguished Leadership Award from the University of Minnesota for his work in developing a Special Olympics program for students with disabilities in Tanzania. Special education teachers from White Bear Lake schools were invited to a round-table discussion to share experiences of students with special needs and learn about Madai’s successful efforts to address the needs of these students in his native country. Through his efforts, Special Olympics has grown from humble beginnings to become a nationally and internationally recognized program that benefits youth who previously had few equitable opportunities in communities and schools. It was very informative to compare the education models for this population of students in the United States and in Tanzania, where education resources, as well as basic resources such as access to clean water, are limited. An inspirational and dedicated individual, Madai has made a difference in the lives of many through youth education and engagement. Submitted

Loon Chronicles III: Love is in the air We had an amazing week on White Bear Lake. One morning, at the crack of dawn, we followed a pair of Loons under the Manitou Island bridge. What unfolded next left us speechless. After circling the few remaining abandoned muskrat nests, the female Loon took a detour into a secluded section of old bulrushes. The male tried to divert our attention and led us to a more open area, where he put on a show of wing flaps and head bobbing. After a few calls from his mate, he quickly followed her to the bulrushes and joined her on the abandoned nest. We kept our distance and watched the Loons approach each other with gentleness and patience. When finished, the female Loon leaned forward to allow her mate to slide back into the water, where he stood sentry as we bid adieu. We returned to the same spot the next morning to find a large Great Blue Heron standing at attention on the same abandoned nest. Last night at sunset, we spotted the Loon pair ducking and bobbing in the bulrushes, still looking for a place to call home. They have yet to find the manmade nest that Len launched on May 7, 2018. We remain optimistic.

New superintendent for Mahtomedi values ‘student voice’ BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
The new superintendent for Mahtomedi Public Schools is Barb Duffrin, the current executive director of educational services for Farmington Area Public Schools. Duffrin has worked for the district 15 years. She was also a principal and assistant principal. She started out her education career as a middle school math teacher in Roseville for 10 years. Duffrin’s love of math is what fi rst propelled her on an education career path, but she soon learned that working with young people is what motivates her. “One of the things that is pretty consistent about who I have been all along is just being really inspired by young people and what they can
do that can surprise us,” she said. Duffrin noted she enjoys watching students take control of their learning based on their interests. She values student opinions. Barb Duffrin “Even as a math teacher, student voice has always been a big part of who I am,” she noted. It was rather fitting, then, that Duffrin was interviewed not only by district School Board members and staff, but also by students. The inter-
view process included three panels — one made up of students and community members, one of staff and one of board members. Duffrin said she accepted the position because she enjoyed meeting all the people. “When I interviewed, I just really enjoyed the groups I interviewed with,” she said. “There is clearly such pride in the district.” Duffrin was impressed by the district’s focus on innovation. “It was just a very forward-thinking community,” she noted. “I was really impressed.” Duffrin said she plans to enter the district listening and learning more about what community members value in the district. “I also know the district is thinking hard about innovation and change and what it means to do school,” she noted. She values the
district’s desire to learn how to make schools more equitable and honor the uniqueness of each student. She plans to meet lots of community members through talking about the district’s referendum levy coming up this fall. “I’m excited, and I have been incredibly impressed by people reaching out to welcome me,” she said. The board interviewed several applicants before deciding on Duffrin. “It was a very difficult decision because we had so many good candidates that applied for the position,”said Board Chair Judith Schwartz. “So it wasn’t an easy fi x, but we all came together on it and this will be a great opportunity for our district.” The board planned to negotiate a contract with Duffrin May 18. Her fi rst day will be July 1.
International Baccalaureate program discontinued at middle schools BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The School Board voted by a narrow margin to discontinue the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Central Middle School and Sunrise Park Middle School at a meeting May 14. The decision came about from discussion during the School Board and administration strategic planning process last school year. The decision was made to review the programs, as well as the IB program at Matoska International Elementary. The review included program implementation and student outcome data. The review was conducted by the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement. After the review, district staff recommended IB programs be discontinued at the middle schools and stay at Matoska. At the middle schools, the program was difficult to implement. “Fundamentally, at the root of it ... we are really trying to do an IB program in addition to a lot of additional things, and it is leaving us at a place where all of the data says we have a good program and we want to deliver on a great program,” said Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning Sara Paul. Double grading, scheduling complexities and lack of a measurable impact on student learning were all challenges administration discovered during the review. The program is designed for sixth through 10th grade as well, which created challenges. The goal of eliminating IB is to increase the quality of the middle school programs, Paul said. “We are not shifting to a completely new program design,” she noted. School Board member Kim Chapman expressed concern that it is unclear what is going to replace
the IB program. Paul said it will be replaced with the district's new strategic plan; the goal of the district is to create a better program at the middle school even though it doesn't have a special name. Chapman said he has been contacted by many concerned families who said they may leave the district if IB is eliminated. “It is a concern of mine that the uncertainty could generate somewhat of an exodus of those families at Matoska now that have children there in the middle school or are coming up through the middle school and want to continue a regimen they are comfortable with and know about,” he said. Paul said the district wants to make the middle school program great. “I don't believe in saying things to make people comfortable, yet not having the depth and integrity of great programming and confidence in what we are going to do,” she said. Paul said she hopes those families continue to offer input to the district as it makes changes at the middle school. “It's not like there is a hole,” said School Board member Marge Newmaster. “We've got great content and great teachers.” “It is going to take away those restrictions that IB brought along,” said board member Ellen Fahey. “It is not taking best practice out of anything. ... IB does not have a monopoly on best practice.” “What we are offering in replacement is superior,” said board member Scott Wilson. There will be more options, Wilson noted. School Board member Jessica Ellison wondered about going through a participatory process concerning the specific new plans before deciding on eliminating IB or not. “Are we going to exist in a little bit of a purgatory for a while?” she questioned. “This is about improving and you have to let go of some things,” Paul said. “This is an epic problem in education that we don't ever define what is leav-
ing the system.” Paul said holding onto both the IB program and new plans at the same time would be like “purgatory.” She said it would be better to make a decision and then work the hopes and dreams of Matoska families into the new plans. “I want the same thing, and it doesn't have to be under an IB framework in order to deliver it,” Paul said. Chapman said he would like to discuss more details about future plans before voting out IB. Board member Ellen Fahey noted the review began in 2016 and it is time to vote. Board Chair Don Mullin said his children benefited from the IB program at the middle schools. Mullin, Chapman and Ellison voted against the motion to remove the program. It passed with Fahey, Newmaster, Wilson and Deb Beloyed voting in favor. The middle schools were officially made IB schools in 2015 after a three-year implementation process, according to Press archives. IB is an instructional framework focused on global and active learning and sponsored by a nonprofit foundation in Switzerland. There are more than 3,000 IB-authorized schools in 140 countries. In 2015, there were seven other IB middle schools in Minnesota. In other action, the School Board: • Recognized student representatives to the School Board Ashley Rensted and alternate Makena Pratt for their service during the school year. Rensted received a scholarship from the Minnesota School Board Association, one of only two student representatives statewide to receive a scholarship. • Approved policies with minor changes: policy 516, student medication; policy 530, immunization requirements; and policy 525, violence prevention.
Students raise, release trout A class of Mahtomedi fifth-graders released rainbow trout they raised this winter into the Vermillion River last week. The St. Jude of the Lake Catholic School class raised the fish from eggs they received through a grant in December, said their teacher Jill Ryan. The Trout in the Classroom grant from Minnesota Trout Unlimited provided eggs, a tank, food and fishing field trips. What started as a cup of 309 eggs turned into 212 fish released for anglers, students said. They learned the process of raising trout, from monitoring the eggs in a breeding net, to beginning feeding when the yolk sacs that feed baby trout begin to dissolve. Students oversaw everything, from setting up the tank to releasing the trout into the wild. Each student released a few trout from cups kept in a cooler after an hour bus ride to Farmington, said student Tessa Linden. Students also learned that not every egg makes it to the river. “Some got diseases, some were not fed enough,” said student Tim Jakoblich. Students had to monitor the tank to keep it between 52
and 54 degrees so the fish would have enough oxygen. They also tested the tank to monitor its ammonia, nitrate and pH levels, said student William Peterson. The students learned about various kinds of trout in Minnesota — rainbow, brook and brown — but learned only brook trout are native to Minnesota, said student Liam Ryan. The students raised rainbow trout to release because they do not reproduce and therefore do not affect native brook trout populations, Ryan said. As part of the program, students also toured a trout hatchery in Wisconsin, went fishing at Fort Snelling State Park and ice fishing on Lost Lake. About 30 other schools in the state received the grant, Ryan said. Sara Marie Moore

Foundation works to make a difference Last year, the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation awarded more than $32,000 to 20 local organizations for programs and initiatives contributing to and enhancing quality of life for those who live and work in the White Bear Lake area. The 2017 grant recipients represent a wide variety of efforts: serving and assessing the needs of a growing senior population, addressing environmental concerns, expanding educational opportunities for students, and supporting at-risk populations. Here are just a few examples of the work local organizations are doing and what the Foundation’s Community Partners Fund is proud to support: • Dementia often isolates individuals and their caregivers, which is why the Consortium of Lake Area Senior Services (CLASS) is committed to creating a community where those who are living with dementia feel affirmed and supported. With the $2,500 CLASS received, the organization joins a growing number of Minnesota, national, and international municipalities taking action to become a Dementia Friendly Community. The Dementia Friendly Community initiative seeks to raise awareness about dementia, support the caregivers of those living with dementia, and promote meaningful community participation. Since receiving the grant from the Community Partners Fund, CLASS has engaged 280 residents. CLASS hosted six community conversations, facilitated Dementia Friends classes, and trained 15 local volunteers to be Dementia Friends Champions (a person who encourages others to make a
positive difference to people living with dementia in their community). Tara Jebens-Singh, CLASS president, said, “Our goal is to localize the global dementia-friendly initiative in the White Bear Lake area. The community conversations and Dementia Friend trainings are the first steps toward making [our] community dementia friendly. The Foundation’s financial support has been essential for our success.” • H20 for Life is a local nonprofi t with a global reach dedicated to service-learning opportunities for schools across the country. “We wanted every school [in the White Bear Lake Area] to have a SPLASH! Toolkit,” said Christy Andacht, executive director of H2O, “and the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation made it happen.” The Community Partners Fund provided $1,300 to H2O for Life to develop and implement the toolkits for every school in the White Bear Lake area. “The toolkit is a 12-week program that provides teachers and after-school programs with activities and ideas for ways to inspire local kids to be water conservation heroes,” Andacht said. “The kids get their hands dirty locally, all the while gaining an awareness of the local and global water concerns and crisis. Our hope is that the toolkits inspire area students to be local and global leaders.” • Gavin Nachtigall, Level Up Academy’s STEM teacher, describes the first time his students interacted with their Jordanian peers by video. “I could feel it in the room; it’s like they realized for the first time that people on the internet are not just
profiles. They were surprised that kids in Jordan played video games too,” Nachtigall laughed, “and don’t always like school either.” Level Up Academy received a grant of $1,650 to participate in the STEM Global Enrichment program. The program provides opportunities for local students to gain a global awareness and interact with students across the globe by working collaboratively on an engineering project. The grant from the Community Foundation enabled Nachtigall’s students to work together with Jordanian students to engineer 3-D solar light boxes. The Community Partners Fund is made possible by the generosity of individuals, families, and businesses in the greater White Bear Lake area — the five communities that share the shores of White Bear Lake. While the Foundation was able to grant $32,000 to 20 groups in 2017, this did not begin to meet the need, as grant requests exceeded the funds available by more than $100,000. “We hope to do as much or more this year to help meet the increased needs in our community,” stated Jackie Reis, Foundation executive director. “It’s remarkable how much can get done if many contribute.” Individuals interested in contributing to the fund can contact Reis at jackier@greaterwblfoundation. org or visit greaterwblfoundation.org.

Financial Management Did you know?
Identity theft is a serious concern that affects millions of people. The 2017 Identity Fraud Study, released by Javelin Strategy & Research, found that 15.4 million consumers in the United States were affected by identity theft of some form in 2016. In those instances, $16 billion was stolen. Protecting one’s identity is not as complicated as it may seem, and it can safeguard consumers against fraud and theft.

Making the decision to seek couples therapy is difficult for many people. This may be for a variety of reasons including ambivalence, not wanting to ask for help, concerns about being blamed, or feeling too busy to commit to appointments. Some couples even wonder if their issues are “important enough” to justify therapy. This begs the question, when is it appropriate to seek couples therapy, and for what issues? Couples should consider therapy anytime one or both partners is feeling unsatisfied in the relationship, and they are unable to feel better after trying on their own. Here are some of the most common issues that may signal your relationship needs help: 1. You don’t communicate well. 2. You love your partner but feel like something is missing from the relationship. 3. Your parenting styles don’t match up and this causes conflict. 4. One of both of you desires more emotional and/or sexual intimacy. 5. You’re going through major life changes. 6. You have financial disagreements that you are not able to resolve. 7. You no longer feel like you love your partner. 8. One of you is thinking about or has already had an affair. Ideally, couples would seek therapy long before their relationship is in crisis mode. However, research shows that most couples wait an average of six years feeling unhappy before seeking help.
That’s a long time for hurt and resentment to build up. And during that time, behaviors may develop that indicate the relationship is in serious trouble. Relationship expert Dr. John Gottman calls these behaviors “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. Although these behaviors occur on occasion in most relationships, the more frequently they occur without repairs being made, the higher the likelihood of the relationship ending. So is the goal of couples therapy to reduce arguments altogether? No, because conflict is a part of any healthy, successful relationship. Rather, the goal is to help couples learn to navigate conflict more effectively. There are actually measurable differences in the way happy couples handle conflict as opposed to those in danger of separation. In his book, The Relationship Cure, Dr. Gottman says the following about healthy relationships, “It’s not that these couples don’t get mad or disagree. It’s that when they disagree, they’re able to stay connected and engaged with each other. Rather than becoming defensive and hurtful, they pepper their disputes with flashes of affection, intense interest, and mutual respect.” If your relationship is suffering, consider calling CenterLife Counseling to set up an appointment with a trained, impartial and non-judgmental professional. We have many qualified therapists who are skilled at helping couples get back on track to a happy and satisfying relationship.

Ava Kaiser is a 12-year-old racquetball whiz who recently won two state adult women’s championships, but let’s talk about her pets first. That’s pretty cool, too. A white Pekin duck named “Jewell” and a turtle named “Misty” were both literally hatched by this Mahtomedi Middle School seventh-grader. “It certainly makes it more fun having hatched them. I feel much closer to them both,” Kaiser stated. “I can take Jewell to the lake, and he swims with me. Everyone at the beach does a double take. It’s pretty funny!” Kaiser acquired a duck egg four years ago from an uncle who raises them. She placed it in a small cardboard box, with bedding a pet hamster had used, warmed it with a fish aquarium lamp, and turned it three times a day. On the 28th day — just like the book told her — she had a “fluffy yellow” baby duck. It had “pipped a little hole” in the egg on the 27th day, and hatched at 4 a.m. the next day, with Ava and her mom keeping an hourly vigil through the night. “I laid on the bathroom floor next to its crate until it peeped and woke me up,” she said. Kaiser found turtle eggs a year ago and took one home to test her nurturing skills again. Turtles take a lot longer than ducks. She buried the egg two inches deep in a bucket of sand in the garage and “misted” it for 78 days. It hatched in August. “My mom went to ‘mist’ the dirt one morning, and the egg was at the surface, and so was a tiny turtle,” she said. “They just know to climb to the surface.” For both, she did research and “just left it to fate, persistence and a bit of luck … It was a miracle that they even hatched.” The turtle lives in a tank in her room and likes to crawl in the grass when Ava takes her out. The duck lives in a deluxe cage outside (heated in winter) with a sunken swimming pool, and likes to chase Ava around the yard. Not surprisingly, a child resourceful enough to hatch her own pets is pretty determined at other ventures also. The only child of Rick Kaiser and Rhonda Kimler of Lake Elmo, she gets straight A’s in school, and she is ranked No. 1 nationally for 12-and-under by USA Racquetball. The 5-3, 100-pound athlete made some history in early March at the Minnesota state tournament when she skipped the 12U, which she won as a 10-year-old two years ago, to take on the grownups instead, and won both Women’s A and Women’s B. The top level is Women’s Open. “I was beating all the ‘juniors’ so I played women’s,” said Kaiser, whose interview answers are as precise as her shots. “I was really nervous at first because they were all bigger and stronger then me, and I didn’t want to get hurt. But it went pretty well.” Kaiser is the first female to snag both titles and the youngest to capture the “A” crown. She defeated Tara Lavoi Lynch 15-14, 15-7 and Susan Schatz 15-5, 15-10, then lost to Kelly Johnson 15-11, 13-15, 11-10, but placed first with a 5-2 record in games to Johnson’s 5-3. In “B,” Kaiser went 3-0, winning six of seven games. Kaiser, who signed with a sponsor, HEAD, last fall, is ranked No. 3 among Minnesota women behind Vallana Perrault of Champlin, who’s won several Open titles, and Cheryl Jones of Rochester. Kaiser beat Jones in January; you need two wins to move past someone. Now looking ahead to nationals (June 20-24 in Des Moines) and world tournaments, she has done well at both levels in the past. A member of Lifetime Fitness, she was tagging along to the courts with her dad before starting kindergarten. “As a three-year-old, she would kick it around, or

throw it around, anything but hit it (with a racquet),” Rick Kaiser said. “But you can’t get her off the court now. We practice a minimum three times a week, two hours a day, and when tournaments are coming up, five days a week. The other thing she’s really devoted to is school. She studies two hours a day and gets A’s in all her classes.” Ava’s second sport is swimming, which her mom got her started in, but that’s for fun and fitness, not competition. As tender as Kaiser is with her pets, she is equally tenacious with a racquet in her hand. Asked what the adults think about losing to her, she chirps, “They hate it.” She started competing at age seven. “Once I got serious, I realized that I really like to win,” said Kaiser. Boys beat her for a while, which rankled her, but she beats most of them now. While facing bigger foes, she says, “I’m a ferocious competitor.” At 10, Kaiser won 10U and 12U state titles in Fridley, qualifying for nationals. At nationals, also in Fridley, she placed second in 10U singles behind Kareena Mathew of Oregon, while winning two doubles titles: 10U with Ashlyn Carver of Washington and mixed 12U with Owen Forsythe of Shakopee. At the world tournament in Mexico, she and Mathew placed third in doubles. At 11, Kaiser skipped 12U singles at state and reached the Women’s B finals, placing second behind Marina Turik. (She didn’t play doubles; they were held the same time as the world meet.) At nationals in Stockton, California, Kaiser was runner-up in singles behind Heather Mahoney of California, runner-up in doubles with Mathew, and third in mixed dubs with Forsythe. At last year’s world meet, in Minneapolis at Target Center Lifetime Fitness, Kaiser got bronze in singles and bronze in doubles, again with Mathew. Luckily for Ava, the U.S. Open has been held at Target Center the last four years. The Kaisers take advantage. Each year she gets to play a pro in a “fun” game up to seven. She serves as a “towel girl” for the pro matches, six to 10 hours a day. Last year, she played in a Pro-Am

Attending the US Open, picking the brains of the top players and sharing the court with the likes of Mendes, this 12-year-old gets an up-close look at exactly what she aspires to. Asked what her ambition is, Kaiser stated: “To be the number one women’s professional in the world.”

Mahtomedi girls improve to 9-0 in lacrosse With much of its production coming from underclassmen, Mahtomedi girls lacrosse has a 9-0 record after posting two more lopsided wins last week. The Zephyrs downed North St. Paul 19-0, with 12 different players scoring, and Hill-Murray 19-7, led by seniors Abby Searles (six goals, two assists) and Amanda Russel (four goals, five assists). The squad has three seniors, six juniors, three sophomores and 11 freshmen. “We have built a team based on productivity and not seniority,” said fourthyear head coach Heather Ahlers, whose first three teams were a combined 21-19. Ahlers praised the team’s senior leadership as “outstanding” but the Zephyrs are also “a young team that keeps our upper class motivated.” The players all have their role and know their role, the coach said, and can change that role if they want to work for it.

Zephyrs are Metro East champs in boys lacrosse Mahtomedi boys lacrosse closed the regular season with a busy and successful week, beating White Bear Lake 18-5, Hastings 18-9 and East Ridge 13-9 — and wrapping up the Suburban East title with the win over Hastings. Mahtomedi finished 6-0, St. Thomas Academy 5-1 and Hastings 4-2

Drills to help square your driver at impact of your left heel. You also want to make sure you have a good spine tilt with your set up, head behind the ball. I actually recommend you set up with 60 percent of your weight on your right side. It’s easy to open your shoulders with this set up, so make sure you can see your left shoulder out of your left eye before you swing. If your body is in the correct position at impact, the launch angle will be good. Trying to explain this in an article is difficult. This drill will help you feel where your body should be throughout the golf swing. I call this drill the windmill. Without a club get into your address position, arms extended sideways (as an extension of your shoulders) Put a ball on the ground and one in your right hand. Turn your back to the target. Your left hand should be pointing at the ball on the ground. If it’s pointing closer to your toes, or closer to the skyline you have lost your posture. Check and make sure you still have a slight flex in your right knee. From there, take the ball in your right hand and roll it on the ground towards the target, just like you would a bowling ball. If you get the bowling concept, your left leg will be straight at the impact position. Do this in front of a mirror. You will see where your spine is at the impact position. It’s not going backwards; it’s rotating around your body. Keep the right hand moving and pat yourself on your left shoulder. You should be standing tall, and be able to pick up your right toe without losing your balance. This
Charlie Bartholomew
all-purpose drill promotes the correct pivot, weight transfer, balance and proper finish. Split grip teaches correct release. Using a short iron, take your grip so that there are several inches of space between your hands. Taking half swings, through impact try to feel the right hand crossing over the left. At the top of your half backswing, the toe of the club should be pointing skyward. If your hands release at impact, the toe should again be pointing skyward at the finish. So if you have been blocking your drives to the right, try practicing these two drills every day. If you can get your body in the correct position at impact and if you can release your hands through the hitting zone, you will be well on your way to hitting straight drives. Don’t forget there’s nothing wrong
with playing a shorter driver. I’d rather have my drive 25 yards shorter in the fairway than 25 yards longer OB any day in the week. I want to mention we have a new Girls Golf Academy at Keller this summer. If you have a daughter in 6th-12th grade who is interested in participating, please contact me for more information. Betsy Larey is an LPGA Class A Teaching Professional who has taught adults and juniors for years. She teaches at Keller Golf Course in St Paul and Shadow Ridge range in Lino Lakes.

Many golfers I work with block their driver to the right. In my opinion, I see this happen more often than any other miss with the driver. There are a number of reasons Tee Time why it can happen but chances are you probBetsy Larey ably do the same thing with all of your clubs. It’s just exacerbated because of the length of the driver. One of the most common reasons golfers block to the right is they are not able to put their body in the correct position at impact. From the top of the backswing, the spine should rotate on a vertical plane to impact. What happens with blockers is the downswing starts with the left shoulder and left hip going up. At that point the spine is tilting backwards and the club most definitely will be coming too far from the inside. The end result is a block to the right. The only way to save it is to rip your hands through the hitting zone and pray your timing is impeccable. So the question is why do so many people do this? I think there’s a misconception that you need to “hit up” on any club to get the ball airborne. It is true that the driver is the only club in your arsenal that you do hit 2-3 degrees up. Every other club is hit 1 degree down or more. Hitting 2-3 degrees on the upswing is accomplished by playing the ball off

Mahtomedi captures Metro East baseball crown BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Mahtomedi has nailed down the Metro East Conference baseball championship, mainly by being awfully hard to score runs against. The Zephyrs (13-4 overall) won nine of their last 10 games, allowing just 1.7 runs per game in that span. Last week, the Zephyrs split with Hastings, losing 1-0 and winning 12-2, on Thursday, then swept North St. Paul 11-1 and 3-2 on Saturday, May 19. The pitchers have been throwing strikes. “After a couple outings at the beginning of the season, with too many walks and hit-by-pitches, the guys have managed to let their defense do its job, and things have gone well

CITY OF VADNAIS HEIGHTS MAKING SAFE DRINKING WATER Your drinking water comes from a groundwater source: three wells ranging from 470 to 495 feet deep, that draw water from the Prairie Du Chien-Jordan and Jordan aquifers. Vadnais Heights works hard to provide you with safe and reliable drinking water that meets federal and state water quality requirements. The purpose of this report is to provide you with information on your drinking water and how to protect our precious water resources. Contact Mark Graham, P.E. , City Engineer, at 651.204.6050 or mark.graham@cityvadnaisheights.com if you have questions about Vadnais Heights’s drinking water. You can also ask for information about how you can take part in decisions that may affect water quality. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets safe drinking water standards. These standards limit the amounts of speciďŹ c contaminants allowed in drinking water. This ensures that tap water is safe to drink for most people. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates the amount of certain contaminants in bottled water. Bottled water must provide the same public health protection as public tap water. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 18004264791. VADNAIS HEIGHTS MONITORING RESULTS This report contains our monitoring results from January 1 to December 31, 2017. We work with the Minnesota Department of Health to test drinking water for more than 100 contaminants. It is not unusual to detect contaminants in small amounts. No water supply is ever completely free of contaminants. Drinking water standards protect Minnesotans from substances that may be harmful to their health. Learn more by visiting the Minnesota Department of Health’s webpage Basics of Monitoring and Testing of Drinking Water in Minnesota (http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/factsheet/com/sampling.html). HOW TO READ THE WATER QUALITY DATA TABLES The tables below show the contaminants we found last year or the most recent time we sampled for that contaminant. They also show the levels of those contaminants and the Environmental Protection Agency’s limits. Substances that we tested for but did not ďŹ nd are not included in the tables. We sample for some contaminants less than once a year because their levels in water are not expected to change from year to year. If we found any of these contaminants the last time we sampled for them, we included them in the tables below with the detection date. We may have done additional monitoring for contaminants that are not included in the Safe Drinking Water Act. To request a copy of these results, call the Minnesota Department of Health at 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. DeďŹ nitions • AL (Action Level): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. • EPA: Environmental Protection Agency • MCL (Maximum contaminant level): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. • MCLG (Maximum contaminant level goal): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. • Level 1 Assessment: A Level 1 assessment is a study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system. • Level 2 Assessment: A Level 2 assessment is a very detailed study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why an E. coli MCL violation has occurred and/or why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system on multiple occasions. • MRDL (Maximum residual disinfectant level): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. • MRDLG (Maximum residual disinfectant level goal): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reect the beneďŹ ts of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. • NA (Not applicable): Does not apply. • NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units): A measure of the cloudiness of the water (turbidity). • pCi/l (picocuries per liter): A measure of radioactivity. • ppb (parts per billion): One part per billion in water is like one drop in one billion drops of water, or about one drop in a swimming pool. ppb is the same as micrograms per liter (Îźg/l). • ppm (parts per million): One part per million is like one drop in one million drops of water, or about one cup in a swimming pool. ppm is the same as milligrams per liter (mg/l). • PWSID: Public water system identiďŹ cation. • TT (Treatment Technique): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. • Variances and Exemptions: State or EPA permission not to meet an MCL or a treatment technique under certain conditions.

Potential Health Effects and Corrective Actions (If Applicable) Fluoride: If your drinking water uoride levels are below the optimal concentration range of 0.7 to 1.2 ppm, please talk with your dentist about how you can protect your teeth and your family’s teeth from tooth decay and cavities. For more information, visit: MDH Drinking Water Fluoridation (http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/com/uoride/ index.html). Fluoride is nature’s cavity ďŹ ghter, with small amounts present naturally in many drinking water sources. There is an overwhelming weight of credible, peer-reviewed, scientiďŹ c evidence that uoridation reduces tooth decay and cavities in children and adults, even when there is availability of uoride from other sources, such as uoride toothpaste and mouth rinses. Since studies show that optimal uoride levels in drinking water beneďŹ t public health, municipal community water systems adjust the level of uoride in the water to a concentration between 0.5 to 1.5 parts per million (ppm), with an optimal uoridation goal between 0.7 and 1.2 ppm to protect your teeth. Fluoride levels below 2.0 ppm are not expected to increase the risk of a cosmetic condition known as enamel uorosis. Some People Are More Vulnerable to Contaminants in Drinking Water Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. The developing fetus and therefore pregnant women may also be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water. These people or their caregivers should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 18004264791. LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER Drinking Water Sources Minnesota’s primary drinking water sources are groundwater and surface water. Groundwater is the water found in aquifers beneath the surface of the land. Groundwater supplies 75 percent of Minnesota’s drinking water. Surface water is the water in lakes, rivers, and streams above the surface of the land. Surface water supplies 25 percent of Minnesota’s drinking water. Contaminants can get in drinking water sources from the natural environment and from people’s daily activities. There are ďŹ ve main types of contaminants in drinking water sources. • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Sources include sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, pets, and wildlife. • Inorganic contaminants include salts and metals from natural sources (e.g. rock and soil), oil and gas production, mining and farming operations, urban stormwater runoff, and wastewater discharges. • Pesticides and herbicides are chemicals used to reduce or kill unwanted plants and pests. Sources include agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and commercial and residential properties. • Organic chemical contaminants include synthetic and volatile organic compounds. Sources include industrial processes and petroleum production, gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. • Radioactive contaminants such as radium, thorium, and uranium isotopes come from natural sources (e.g. radon gas from soils and rock), mining operations, and oil and gas production. The Minnesota Department of Health provides information about your drinking water source(s) in a source water assessment, including: • How Vadnais Heights is protecting your drinking water source(s); • Nearby threats to your drinking water sources; • How easily water and pollution can move from the surface of the land into drinking water sources, based on natural geology and the way wells are constructed. Find your source water assessment at Source Water Assessments (www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/ swa/) or call 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Lead in Drinking Water You may be in contact with lead through paint, water, dust, soil, food, hobbies, or your job. Coming in contact with lead can cause serious health problems for everyone. There is no safe level of lead. Babies, children under six years, and pregnant women are at the highest risk. Lead is rarely in a drinking water source, but it can get in your drinking water as it passes through lead service lines and your household plumbing system. Vadnais Heights provides high quality drinking water, but it cannot control the plumbing materials used in private buildings. Read below to learn how you can protect yourself from lead in drinking water. 1. Let the water run for 30-60 seconds before using it for drinking or cooking if the water has not been turned on in over six hours. If you have a lead service line, you may need to let the water run longer. A service line is the underground pipe that brings water from the main water pipe under the street to your home. • You can ďŹ nd out if you have a lead service line by contacting your public water system, or you can check by following the steps at: Are your pipes made of lead? Here’s a quick way to ďŹ nd out (https://www.mprnews.org/ story/2016/06/24/npr-ďŹ nd-lead-pipes-in-your-home). • The only way to know if lead has been reduced by letting it run is to check with a test. If letting the water run does not reduce lead, consider other options to reduce your exposure. 2. Use cold water for drinking, making food, and making baby formula. Hot water releases more lead from pipes than cold water. 3. Test your water. In most cases, letting the water run and using cold water for drinking and cooking should keep lead levels low in your drinking water. If you are still concerned about lead, arrange with a laboratory to test your tap water. Testing your water is important if young children or pregnant women drink your tap water. • Contact a Minnesota Department of Health accredited laboratory to get a sample container and instructions on how to submit a sample: Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (https://apps.health.state.mn.us/eldo/public/accreditedlabs/labsearch.seam) The Minnesota Department of Health can help you understand your test results. 4. Treat your water if a test shows your water has high levels of lead after you let the water run. Read about water treatment units: Point-of-Use Water Treatment Units for Lead Reduction (http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/factsheet/com/poulead.html) Learn more: • Visit Lead in Drinking Water (http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/contaminants/lead.html#Protect) • Visit Basic Information about Lead in Drinking Water (http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead) Call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 18004264791.To learn about how to reduce your contact with lead from sources other than your drinking water, visit Lead Poisoning Prevention: Common Sources (http://www.health.state. mn.us/divs/eh/lead/sources.html).

Recess with a friend A Willow Lane Elementary fourth-grader is aiming to make a difference on his playground. Joseph Karls started the Fun Club during recess after watching a video about a high school student in Florida who started a We Dine Together club at his school during lunch. “I started to think about how I could help to make sure kids aren’t alone here at Willow Lane,” Karls said. “Dennis said in the video, 'If I don’t go out and make that change, who will? ' So I thought, 'Why don’t I try and make that change here? If Dennis can start something positive at his school, why can’t I start something that will make a difference here a Willow Lane? '” The purpose of the Fun Club is to make sure everyone has someone to play with at recess so they can have fun. “If a member of the Fun Club notices that someone at recess doesn’t have anyone to play with, we go up and ask them if they want to be in the Fun Club,” Karls said. “The Fun Club plays games with anyone who wants to play. We want everyone to be included.” The only requirement for joining the Fun Club is including others, he added. Submitted

Mahtomedi mulls ash tree treatment BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — The invasion of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Mahtomedi is not an “if” proposition, it's a “when” proposition. That's what City Forester Steve Schumacher told the City Council during his “State of the Forest” address at the May 15 meeting. Overall, Mahtomedi's forest is in good shape, he said. The city is in a unique position of having both native species and nonnative species, which is a good thing. Among the tree species found in Mahtomedi are oak, elm and ash. Whereas oak and elm trees have not seen many losses to disease, the loss of ash trees is waiting to happen. In 2014, Schumacher studied city parks for ash tree populations and for the presence of EAB. So far, EAB populations have not been found in Mahtomedi, although ash trees have been infested in certain areas of White Bear Lake and Washington County. Wildwood Park was found to have 206 trees, of which 39, or 19 percent, of the total were ash trees. Wedgewood Park had 116 trees, of which 21 — or 18 percent of the total — were ash trees. Triangle Park had 27 trees, of which four — or 15 percent — were ash. Katherine Abbott Park contained too many trees to count, but maintained areas contained no ash trees. However, ash trees could be found in pockets in the north and south ends of the park. “I noticed you didn't attempt to count all the trees in Katherine Abbott,” Councilman Steve Wolgamot said. “That was a good move.” “I'd happily accept volunteers to do that,” Schumacher said. Schumacher suggested that the city consider having discussions with the Environmental Committee about what
to do in advance of an EAB infestation. He recommended that the city adopt a replacement policy and replant different species of trees to replace ash trees that will be lost. “We should have started the replacement 10 years ago,” he said. As no one knows when the EAB will invade, a good plan might be to plant other species now so that they are almost grown when the ash trees have to come down, Schumacher said. EAB is a long, skinny green beetle a half-inch long, Schumacher said. Adults have wings and can fly up to a half mile. EAB will mate and the resulting eggs hatch into worms that burrow into the green layer just under the bark of a tree. The worms live in a tree for two years, then emerge as adults and mate. Then the cycle is repeated all over again. EAB can be living in a tree for five to six years before the tree dies, and no one will have had a clue the tree has been dying. Once the tree is dead, the EABs move to the next tree. Cities don't have to leave their ash trees doomed to their fate, however. There is a treatment against EAB called “TREEage” that costs up to $10 per diameter inch, Schumacher said. In Minnesota, the overall average ash tree is 14-15 inches in diameter, and it would be more economical, he noted, to treat trees for approximately $150 than to cut them down for around $900. “It would be smart to treat the trees as long as we could and save money by not having to take them down,” he said. It would be wise to have this discussion with the Environmental Committee, he added. “Pick the priority trees in the city and treat them all.” In other action, the council: • After a presentation from Lucas Chase of CliftonLarsonAllen on the 2017 Financial Audit, unanimously accepted the results of the audit. • After an update from Nick Anhut,
senior municipal adviser from Ehlers Inc., awarded the sale of $6.7 million in general obligation improvement and utility revenue bonds, Series 2018A, to the Baird group of Milwaukee. The city sold the bonds to finance the following improvement projects: Historic District (Phase 3), Briarwood area, Hickory Street, Quail Street utilities, Echo Lake area, Edgecumbe Drive storm drainage, Glenmar area storm drainage and the sanitary sewer lining program. The city maintained its Aa2 rating from Moody's Investor Service and was able to secure a favorable true interest rate of 2.83 percent, Anhut said. Closing date is June 7. • After a public hearing on the 2019 Echo Lake Area Street Improvement Project, passed a resolution ordering the project and authorized preparation of final plans and specifications, advertisements for bids and preparation of the preliminary proposed assessment roll for the pending assessment reporting purposes. Council approved the addition of a trail to the project. The project is expected to cost $2.4 million, with funding from various sources. Dunbar Way will also bring in some state aid funding. The city will hold a supplemental public hearing within the next few months for eight corner lots involved in the project. • Passed an ordinance renaming Triangle Park as Veterans Memorial Park, with authority granted by Minnesota Statutes, 412.221. The renaming follows renovations to the park, with assistance from local veterans. An engraver will soon be put to work acknowledging the various organizations who contributed to the project. After the Memorial Day parade, Mayor Judson Marshall will preside over an official naming ceremony. “It's important to remember the vets, especially those who have paid the ultimate price,” Wolgamot said. • Approved assessment appeal waiver
agreements. As part of the Historic District Phase 3 Project in which the city will be installing new or replacing old sanitary sewer and water services in the area, the owners of four properties will be entering into assessment appeal waiver agreements with the city. These agreements will allow the city to install a new service line and assess the property owner for the new service. • Approved updated lease agreements with two firefighters for the city-owned duplex at 198 Hallam Ave. The agreements now include language requiring tenants to maintain a minimum monthly call percentage of 20 percent. The rent has been raised so that the city can now assume the responsibility of paying for the utilities, which was deemed easier for everyone. Both of the current tenants have signed off on the new agreement. • Hired a probationary paid, on-call firefighter/EMT, contingent on the successful completion of psychological assessment, criminal background check and physical assessments. • Authorized the hiring of a seasonal worker for the public works department at a rate of $12.50 per hour, contingent on the successful completion of several background checks. • Approved a subscription agreement with HealthEMS for the Emergency Medical Services charting system for the fire department. • Awarded the contract for the 2018 sanitary sewer cleaning and televising with low bidder, Pipe Services Inc., in the amount of $54,000. As part of the city's annual preventive maintenance program, 33 percent of the sanitary sewer system is cleaned and inspected for defects. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 5, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

Inaugural kindness scholarship awarded The fi rst BonafideU Kindness Scholarship was presented May 16. The scholarship celebrates youth that do great things in their community. The objective is to uncover the stories of kindness that go largely unnoticed, celebrate those stories and reward the storytellers and heroes of those stories. Students are nominated by peers; they do not apply. The inaugural scholarship was presented to Timmy Lindquist by John Schwietz, Executive Director of BonafideU. Lindquist was nominated by friend Adam Olson, who
said Lindquist is a special friend to many from all grades and friend groups. The nominator and nominated share a $5,000 scholarship. The $5,000 scholarship was underwritten by Marty Rathmanner from Rathmanner & Co. Real Estate. The company also rewarded all nominators and nominees with BonafideU branded apparel. The new organization received enthusiasm from the Mahtomedi High school community and hopes to influence schools all over the state. Submitted
MAHTOMEDI SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The Mahtomedi School Board took the following action at its May 10 meeting: • Discussed a potential referendum levy to be on the ballot this November. Options range from a $220 to $275 increase per student, a total of $800,000 to $1 million. Expected tax impacts range from a $127 to $154 on a $350,000 home. The board is expected to vote on an option at a study session May 24. A higher option would help decrease class sizes, increase student safety and improve deficit reductions, said Superintendent Mark Larson. • Discussed an administrative task force report. Board member Julie McGraw questioned what the use of the document is and why it had not yet been discussed with the rest of the board. Board Chair Judith Schwartz explained the document involves recommendations on administrative restructuring and it had not been discussed because the board has had lots of other things to discuss and so that the new superintendent could weigh in on it. Board members also discussed its role in hiring administration, including a new activities director. Larson said it is unusual and an example of micromanagement for board members to be this involved in hiring any staff other than the superintendent. The board concurred to let the superintendent hire someone. • Approved minor changes to policy 524, technology acceptable use and safety, which is reviewed annually. • Approved a joint powers agreement with Stillwater Public Schools for food services for the 2018-2019 school year. • Approved a contract with White Bear Area YMCA for use of its pool.

Last week temperatures really sizzled with three straight days in the eighties, May 16-18, our first three-day stretch of eighties since the third week of September. This past Saturday the daytime high only reached 60º but it felt kind of nice if you had to get out and do yard work, and many of you used the opportunity to plant gardens. Despite the lack of rain, yards look pretty good and are green. I’ve only totaled 0.72” of rain this month, a good 2” drier than normal. Our portion of the state seems to be leading the way in lack of rain. Lucky us? A bit early to panic about drought fears. We’ll see how the next few weeks pan out.

Washington County Library kicks offyouth summer reading Washington County Library invites youth to enjoy
Summer at Your Library starting Saturday, June 9 and running through Saturday, Aug. 11. The program introduces kids to a new visitor to the library, an alien named Zorb, who needs help learning about all the cool things the Washington County Library has to offer. Kids can explore the library alongside Zorb throughout the summer months. Children from birth to 11 years can participate by completing literacy activities to earn rewards. They can also write or draw book reviews to enter drawings for tickets to the Minnesota State Fair, the Crayola Experience, Sea Life Minnesota at the Mall of America and the Minnesota Twins. One grand prize winner at each library will receive a family membership to Sea Life Minnesota. Teens (ages 12-18) can also earn rewards by completing reading-related activities as part of the Tic-Tac-Teen game. By writing book reviews, attending library programs, or doing other library or literacy themed activities, teens will receive a reward book and an entry to win tickets to the Minnesota State Fair or the Minnesota Twins. One grand prize winner at each library will receive a Fandango movie gift card. You can find a full calendar of library events online at www.WashCoLib.org/Events.
Washington County adult library summer experience
Washington County Library invites adults ages 19 and up to join the library for “10,000 Experiences at Your Library” as part of its adult summer reading program, which runs June 9 through Aug. 11. To participate, adult readers can pick up a game card at any Washington County Library location that instructs them to tackle series of challenges. Some examples include reading a book set in Minnesota, dipping into family history by doing some genealogy research, or downloading an e-audiobook, digital magazine or ebook to take along on their next summer experience. Participants who complete 6 of 15 challenges can return the game card to a Washington County Library location (or submit it online) to receive a completion prize and be entered into weekly drawings for special prizes. At the end of the program in August, all adults who completed the program will be entered into a grand prize drawing for a pair of tickets to the Minnesota State Fair or an annual Washington County Parks Pass. The game card will also be available online at www.WashCoLib.org/SRP/ Adults.
