Proposed trail maps on view at open house

Demonstrating some pedal bear power

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The open house May 18 at Boatworks Commons' Community Room drew a few dozen people who provided input on extending the Bruce Vento Trail into White Bear Lake. The open house was hosted by the Ramsey County Parks & Recreation Department, which placed large maps of the trail segments on tables and easels around the room. The Bruce Vento Regional Trail is a 13-mile trail that runs through St. Paul, Maplewood, Vadnais Heights, Gem Lake, White Bear Lake and White Bear Township. The county parks department is planning a three-mile trail extension from Buerkle Road north to Highway 96 west. Most of the trail will follow railroad right of way and city property. It will connect to a regional trail going west at the Hwy. 96 intersection or the Lake Links trail (aka Mark Sather Trail) going east. Eventually, the Bruce Vento will link to South Lakeshore Trail at White Bear Avenue. Walkability advocate Mike Brooks said he was encouraged by what he saw at the open house. "Everyone seems in good humor about the alignment," he noted. "Let's get it done." Retired City Manager Mark Sather felt the plans were "way overdue." He started working on a trail extension through White Bear Lake 25 years ago,

Schools get additions to tool belt for trades education Scholarships, tool donations and a welding grant bolster the trades BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — New tools, both real ones and a scholarship, have been added to the high school's career and technology programs. Northern Tool and Equipment, which opened a White Bear Lake location in April, donated $2,000 worth of tools to White Bear Lake Area Schools' South Campus technology education classroom earlier this month. The company also initiated a scholarship partnership, an annual $2,500 Nurturing Trade Excellence Program scholarship, to be awarded to a student who plans to study a trade. Marco Gambino of Vadnais Heights was the first recipient. He plans to use the scholarship to attend the Universal Technical Institute (UTI) in Illinois to study diesel mechanics this fall.

“It's definitely going to help out with my tuition,” said Gambino. “Ever since ninth grade, I knew what I wanted to do.” His ninth-grade small engines course at White Bear Lake Area Schools solidified his career decision and he currently works part-time at a local garage. Wade Kotula, owner of Northern Tool and Equipment, said his company initiated the scholarship program with White Bear Lake Area Schools because he sees a need for more employees in industrial trades. “[There is] not the same interest in it as a decade ago,” he said. “We are seeing an imbalance of employees.” Kotula wants to see the trades flourish by promoting their value. He wants to create an “interest SEE SCHOOL TOOL BELT, PAGE 9A

Acts of a certain kind of kindness rewarded The White Bear Lake Environmental Advisory Commission is kicking off a new program called “Random Acts of Environmental Kindness.” Starting this spring, residents spotted doing something positive for the environment will receive a “Random Acts of Environmental Kindness” postcard and a $1 Cup and Cone token. "The goal of this program is to reward individual environmental stewardship and to use the information collected

to educate the broader community," explained Connie Taillon, the city's sustainability projects coordinator. The details are as follows, according to Taillon: • The pilot program will run spring through fall 2016. • Each Environmental Advisory Commission member will hand out tokens to anyone in the community they see doing a “random act of environmental kindness” such as sweeping grass clippings off the street, picking up trash, or removing

leaves from a storm drain inlet. • Commission members will track who received the coin and why. • Results will be published in the city newsletter and on the city website. If the pilot program proves successful, the commission will consider expanding the program in 2017. The city purchased $200 worth of tokens for this first round of the program.

way, France and Sweden. The students arrive in late August and stay through mid-June. The students bring all of their own money for everything they need and have health insurance. Families provide a bed, a place for the student to put their belongings and set another place at the table for meals. The family can be with or without children the same age, they can have young children or even be retired. What matters is making a difference in a young person's life and bringing the world together one student at a time.

Know your sources

M

ore than ever, we are aware – and concerned – about food labels and where it was grown. Shrimp is often sourced from Asia, spinach from Mexico, rice from India, pineapple from Hawaii, small grains from Brazil. We worry about what we, and our children, are putting into our bodies. We want to be sure that food is handled safely, that pesticides and herbicides, hormones and antibiotics aren’t used. This year Chipotle’s restaurant chain closed while trying to solve their Publisher’s food safety challenge. We worry so much about View where our food is coming Carter Johnson from, but how about the construction and building material supply industry? In the past few years we have heard nightmare stories about sheetrock from Asia that had to be removed. Or the recent headlines about flooring that has high levels of formaldehyde. Cheap goods and services are not always the best. How about where your information is coming from? What your nutrition facts look like when it comes to the news you consume? Do you ever think about where it is sourced or who is writing it? Each week I receive a handful of bogus e-mails claiming the facts. I watch TV programs and listen to radio stations where the “reporters” make blunders and serve their opinion to polarize listeners. Nothing compares to the falsities you can fi nd on blogs and social media. Anyone today can post anything. Growing up in the mid 1980s, we all knew where the National Enquirer stood on their reporting, and took their “news” with a grain of salt. Yet as a society we seem to care less and less about the sources of our information and whether the news we receive is factual. Perhaps it’s easier to blame “the media” for all kinds of undesirable outcomes—but we bear some responsibility when we show apathy toward journalistic standards. Our newspaper industry teaches journalistic standards, the local newspaper focuses on these journalistic standards. It doesn’t mean we don’t make mistakes—and when we do we own up to them by publishing corrections. We ingest all kinds of garbage on a daily basis. While poorly-sourced information may not cause the same kinds of health issues that contaminated food or cheap building materials does, there are still consequences. When you don’t know the real facts about where your chosen political candidate stands, you risk electing someone whose policies can hurt you and your family. Pay attention to the labels on your news sources and know our team here at Press Publications is working hard to be your “best sources of community information.” Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

These six qualities all combine to define people skills – it’s the ONE THING that every graduate should cultivate in their lives. 1. Reliable. Be an employee that can be counted on to show up every day for work and get the job done no matter what. 2. Honest. Never steal from the company you work for. Be it paper clips or wasting time on the Internet - both are stealing. Don’t lie to cover up mistakes, or cheat to get ahead. Honesty is always the best policy. 3. Proactive. Show initiative and be willing to go the extra mile. Never say “It’s not my job” but “How can I help?” Your goal should be to help the company prosper. 4. Respectful. You show respect to co-workers and supervisors by refraining from gossip, using common courtesy words such as “please,” “Thank-you,” “excuse me,” and “I’m

sorry.” Follow the motto “If you can’t be kind - be quiet.” 5. Positive. Have an attitude of gratitude. Stop whining and be grateful for your job. Be infectious with your enthusiasm. 6. Team Player. Have a spirit of cooperation instead of competition. Give credit where credit is due. These six qualities all combine to define people skills – it’s the ONE THING that every graduate should cultivate in their lives. So don’t forget to cultivate before you start knocking. My final words of advice to the new graduate comes in the form of an anonymous quote, “Good manners alone won’t guarantee your entrance to today’s board rooms, but without good manners the doors to many chambers will be closed to you forever. Enough said. Julie Frantz is the founder of Everyday Etiquette, a White Bear Lake business whose mission is to bring an awareness of civility to the community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

'Peace and 'P d ki kindness' d 'h headline dli I had been saving the May 11 edition of the White Bear Press for several days until I had time to read the front page article about a Muslim speaking at St. Andrew’s Church. It wasn’t until I sat down to read the article that I thought about the headline, “Muslim speaks on peace and kindness.” Then I wondered why it should be a headline that someone of the Muslim faith would speak on peace and kindness. Would it have been also a headline if a Methodist or Catholic had spoken on peace and kindness? As I thought about this, I wondered why it took me several days to be offended by this headline. I know I have a lesson to learn. It is so easy for assumptions about others to color the way we view the world. I appreciate St. Andrew’s and the other area faith communities who have offered opportunities to learn about other faiths. I also appreciate the information contained in the Press’ article. However, I feel that the headline subtly implies that it is headline-worthy that a Muslim speaks about peace and kindness. Barbara Hinz White Bear Lake

Tragedy averted thanks to alert neighbor Early Saturday morning (May 14) at 1:10 a.m., my Hobe Lane neighbor, Jesse Lewis, noticed a suspicious “bonfire” at the base of our back hill directly under the power pole. The strong wind out of the north was fanning the fire up the hill from the marsh toward the house. Minutes mattered! Jesse quickly drove to our house to awaken us. Unable to do so … he then called 911. We awoke to the Ramsey County Sheriff pounding on our bedroom windows and ordering us out of the house. Assistant Fire Chief Joe Reil, already on the scene, was

keeping the fire away ((7 ffeet) the end the garage k i th t) ffrom th d off th with our hose. The entire side of the hill was now in flames from the end of the garage to the driveway turn around. Four White Bear Lake fire trucks soon arrived. It took awhile because of the strong winds, but it was contained and soaked thoroughly. A tragedy was averted by a citizen’s quick response. Follow-up inspection by Mike Turnbull confirmed that the rubbing of branches on a primary wire to the transformer was likely the source of the fire. Inspector Turnbull also emphasized how important it is that those living adjacent to marsh/brush areas maintain a clear margin free of combustible debris between marsh areas and house. Our first responders, Ramsey County deputies and volunteer WBL firefighters are dedicated and terrific! But the real hero was the alert, caring neighbor … Commander Jesse Lewis, U.S. Naval Air Officer and U of M educator, Ret. He took immediate action to help save a neighbor. At age 87, he’s seen it all. And … “service” continues as an integral part of his DNA. Thank you, “citizen” Jesse. Joel & Karen Johnson White Bear Township

Opposed to bow hunting It is with great interest that we read the article in the White Bear Press regarding a proposal to allow bow fishing in Ramsey County (White Bear and Bald Eagle Lake). Though illegal, bow fishing is already happening at the south end of Bald Eagle. The boats used have high-powered halogen lights around the gunwales of the entire boat run by a generator. They cruise the lake with these intense lights and generator running through the night. The impact on the lakeshore residents is that

Water, sewer, street construction next in line for 28-home development BY LOUISE ERNEWEIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — As grading continues at a 28-home development off County Road H2, township supervisors swept aside a couple of final administrative obstacles. The 18-acre parcel — known as the Pine Hill development — is located south of County Road H2, west of I-35E, east of Centerville Road. It will consist of 28 three-and four-bedroom single-family homes. The site's final plat was approved at the township meeting May 16 before the board went on to authorize the signing and execution of a development agreement worth $1,366,900. That sum, payable to the township by the developer, North Oaks Company, will cover the township's cost to install water mains, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and street construction of the cul-de-sac.

A final seal of approval was also given to the plans and specifications for those improvements and town engineer Jim Studenski received the green light to advertise for bids from contractors. The township hopes to open bids June 15 and select the frontrunner at the June 20 meeting. "It's a typically young family market that we are looking for," said North Oaks Company vice president of development Gary Eagles. "They will be three to four bedrooms, some single story. We have already started grading at this site and we would like to have some model homes ready for the fall." North Oaks Company plans to sell the lots to a builder, who will construct the homes and sell the house and lot package in the $400,000-$600,000 range. Eagles said a contract with the builder was expected to be signed and announced imminently.

Clarifying some ‘facts’ In last week’s letter to the editor "Who should apologize to whom?" several facts were distorted: • It was a water ski practice, not a show, with fewer than 15 people in attendance. • A ticket was never issued by Centennial Lakes Police. • The Washington County complaint filed 10 days later contained false data as proven by multiple affidavits. • Charges were not dismissed. They were adjudicated ‘no probable cause,’ which means they lacked foundation. • Last July, I worked with the city engineer and came up with a patch and overlay solution for McKusick Road at a cost of $120,000, which would last 10 years, but the City Council majority insists on patching for $25,000 a year. My plan would save over $100,000. Isn’t that advocating for Grant citizens? • For a more complete discussion, go to https:///wwwyoutube.com and enter “All Around Grant” or watch cable Channel 15 for a fully documented explanation. • The legal expenditures were $40,000 over budget last year because of city-initiated citizen lawsuits and will probably exceed that this year with multiple citizen lawsuits, none of which have been voted on by the full council.

O.H. Anderson parking lot plans approved BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — Motorists now trapped in long lines along Warner Avenue during school hours may soon be able to cruise through the area at a speed approaching normal after the City Council unanimously gave site plan approval for a parking lot expansion and rehabilitation at O.H. Anderson Elementary School. Council unanimously (4-0 with Council President Timothy Deans serving as acting mayor in Judson Marshall's absence) approved changes May 17 to the southern entrance at 666 Warner Ave. S. The Mahtomedi School District plans to add an additional parking area in the southeast corner of the

grounds, City Planner Erin Perdu said. Some regular and handicapped parking spots will be moved around, resulting in the net addition of eight regular and three handicapped-accessible parking spaces. Plans also include expanding the two-way, four-lane driveway to the east and creating a looped area with additional parking. The south entrance on Warner Avenue will also be reconfigured and moved slightly farther south. The Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval at its May 11 meeting, and city staff concurred. Councilwoman Lael Ramaley said she was for “anything we can do to alleviate that congestion.”

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Mahtomedi resident placed on probation for selling marijuana William Best of Mahtomedi was placed on three years of probation and incurred a $50 fine for selling marijuana on March 24, 2014. Terms of the probation include a chemical dependency evaluation, no use of alcohol or drugs, random testing and no same or similar offenses. The 20-year-old was caught selling marijuana in a parking lot in the evening. He admitted he was in possession of marijuana and a Woodbury police officer observed marijuana fall from his lap to the ground when he exited the vehicle. “The defendant admitted that he sold the driver

one gram of marijuana for 20 dollars,” reads the complaint from Washington County. The officer recovered a $20 bill and 1.99 grams of marijuana.

Police and fire granted AEDs The White Bear Lake Police Department and White Bear Lake Fire Department received a grant from Firehouse Subs to replace 12 of its outdated AEDs. The AEDs are worth about $15,000. Last year in the White Bear Lake area an 18 percent cardiac arrest survival rate was reported. “We were not anticipating the obsolescence of our old AEDS this year, so the grant is very much needed and appreciated,” said Chris Voss, fi re depart-

ment quality assurance technician. The new AEDs began being used May 23. Eight AEDs will be used in police squads, two in fi re medic squads and two in fi re vehicles. The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation was established in 2005 to provide life-saving equipment and disaster relief, following the co-founder's experience in Hurricane Katrina. Funds for donations are raised through individual donations, $2 recycled pickle bucket sales and canister donations. The foundation has donated more than $18 million in 45 states and Puerto Rico.

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • Counselors are used to dealing with teens that are reluctant to go to school, but a 13-year-old was reluctant to return home from the Academy of Science and Agriculture. The girl was transported to Fairview-Riverside Hospital May 11 for a psychological evaluation. Due to her age, no other information was released. • A hard-luck Hiawatha Street resident reported a vehicle break-in the afternoon of May 12 after his bank called to tell him that a man tried to cash a $300 check with his name on it. The victim found

his duct-taped car window ripped out and his backpack, containing his divorce papers and checkbook, gone. • A traffic warrant for his arrest as well as another motorist followed a driver weaving around in his lane willy-nilly on southbound I-35E, in and out of a parking lot and back onto the freeway on the morning of May 12 while the other motorist called 911. The 32-year-old man, whose last known address was in Little Canada and who said he was involved in a “phone argument,” was charged with driving after license suspension. Pending charges include felony possession of a controlled substance and fourth-degree DWI. He was booked at the Ramsey County Jail on the warrant. • Just because your gas tank and wallet are empty are no excuses for a fi ll-and-flee. The thief, who walks with a limp, had been seen earlier by witnesses switching license plates. He drove off in a rust-and-white sedan the night of May 13 from the BP station in the 1000 block of County Road E with $37 worth of ill-gotten gas. • Domestic troubles found neighbors in the 1100 block of County Road D calling 911 on May 15 and a 24-year-old woman accusing her 32-year-old husband of grabbing her around the neck. Deputies are looking for the man, who has an extensive criminal history and who fled the scene. • More action in the 1100 block of County Road D. Neighbors reported a young and restless couple arguing in their apartment the morning of May 16 as the man got ready for his second job. Arriving deputies found the 21-year-old female accusing her 25-year-old boyfriend of “cheating,” and the boyfriend throwing her makeup articles around. The deputies suggested the couple separate for two days. They agreed and the girlfriend went to grandma’s. • A 26-year-old man who drove his ’98 Porsche Boxer backward into Lake Vadnais the evening of May 16 was not injured, nor was his 22-year-old male passenger. The driver was tagged by a county Water Patrol deputy for “no proof of insurance.”

Shoplifter captured via social media BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE —A shoplifter who stole a purple dress and other items at Primp boutique in downtown May 12 turned herself

in after a video on the White Bear Lake Police Department Facebook page went viral May 18. Officers posted a video of the suspect stuffing a purple dress into her purse in the morning, and by noon she turned herself in.

“It was a matter of a couple hours,” said Captain Dale Hager. “We started getting responses right away within minutes, and they kept coming in all morning and eventually she called us.” The 36-year-old female will be cited for a misdemeanor offense. The value of the items she stole did not amount to a gross misdemeanor offense. She is not a resident of White Bear Lake. “She said she was sorry,” said Hager. The White Bear Lake Police Department has since taken down the video of her stealing the dress. Hager said inappropriate comments on the link were shaming her, but that was not the point of the post, he said. “We put it up for one purpose, and that was to identify the suspect,” he said. “The only reason we would [keep] it up there would be to pub-

licly shame her, but that is not what we want to do.” Hager encourages the community to be respectful while it “helps us police the city.” “There were a lot of comments by people on the video and we remind people to be respectful,” he said. “This is a public organization and we are trying not to be disrespectful of anyone, whether they are the suspect of a crime or not.” The White Bear Lake Police Department also had success in capturing the suspect of a TCF Bank robbery via social media last summer. “We put that out on social media and within 24 hours we had that person in custody,” he said. Someone on social media actually tagged the suspect in the video. “We have had a lot of luck with social media lately,” he said. “It's been very valuable to us.”

Hot Rod Wake: a customized experience BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

When Lynn Michels' husband died last October, she knew he'd appreciate a gathering of street rods at his wake. She also knew he'd appreciate having the 1923 T-bucket parked inside the funeral home. The roadster was special to James Michels, who died at age 57 on Oct. 12, 2015. His friends restored the car just for him and sick though he was, the Maplewood fi refighter drove it around the State Fairgrounds during his last Back to the '50s car show. Michels didn't actually plan his funeral before he died, but his wife of 26 years had it covered. "He loved Halloween, so it was the right time of year," Lynn said. "And we had a car show for him because he was avid about going to car shows on a weekly basis in our 1948 Pontiac." Lynn wished to celebrate her husband's passing in a "don't cry over me because I'm gone; but party with me because I had one heck of a life" kind of way. That sentiment melded perfectly with renovations at Mueller Memorial in White Bear Lake. The once traditional mortuary, built in 1954 on Bald Eagle Avenue, underwent a major rebirth last year based on public perception of the funeral profession. It's all about making funerals your own. Gone are the dark, windowless rooms and over-stuffed furniture. In its place are features that funeral director Scott Mueller describes as "White Bear's newest bar in the last place you'd expect." The metamorphosis is the result of a patented research study by Olson-Zaltman Associates called ZMET (Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation

Technique) that drew out the "unconscious metaphors and cultural archetypes that Baby Boomers associate with funeral homes and its services." Mueller helped sponsor the 2012 study and is currently the only funeral home in the United States to embrace its fi ndings. It started with the funeral home itself. Often called "tomb like," in the

study, inner chapels of funeral homes were intentionally built without windows. This served a purpose because natural light generally did not create the most favorable appearance for an open-casket visitation. Post-ZMET, Mueller took down the walls and added tall windows and suspended ceiling lights in the reception area, making light his highest priority. "The overwhelming thing we're trying to accomplish is that when people come here they don't feel like they're coming to a funeral home," said Mueller, a second-generation mortician who bought the business from his late father Al Mueller. "A funeral home has a particular feel, it has a tone and even a smell. We don't want that. The ZMET study clearly outlines what boomers don't want and what they do — including the ability to go out in style with a party," Mueller maintained. When the study results were revealed at a special meeting of the National Funeral Directors in Milwaukee, the fi ndings were not what the attendees wanted to hear. "What was amazing to me, and I'm traditional, is how from the get-go many of my peers wanted to deny what was in the study. It didn't match up with their view of our profession," Mueller recalled. "Our profession is like the clergy of a church. We both have our doctrines, our uniforms,

our strong beliefs and ceremony, and gobs of people passing up our doors looking for an alternative. The consumer sees the funeral director as someone who hasn't evolved much. We are trying to change that by focusing on a non-traditional approach." When he was driving home from that meeting in Milwaukee, Mueller decided to can the plans he had for a new funeral home in North St. Paul. "I realized I had designed a funeral home of the past. I decided to remodel the White Bear Lake building, in a marketplace where we were already well respected. We needed new bathrooms anyway." Sparing no expense ("I spent some money for this," Mueller said), 1700 square feet was added to the building using local designers and craftsmen as much as possible. "We tried to influence everything: light, sound, texture," he said. There's the personal play list that wafts over outdoor speakers and the trickling water feature at the entrance nicknamed the River Mueller. "The idea is to influence people before they even come into the building; that they are not going to have the same experience they've had in the past." Even the funeral home's sign is changing to represent the new look. It will read 'Funerals, Cremations and Reunion Center' to be more in line with the fact many funerals are like family reunions. Mueller is careful not to nullify the solemnity of the occasion. "I never lose sight of the fact we handle some tragic deaths here, too. Some of this is not for those families. But for the rank and fi le person, changing this into a more positive, almost fun experience is in everyone's best interest." And so it was for James Michels, the street rod enthusiast who lost his battle with diabetes and cancer. "His service was about personalization, about making funerals your own," noted Taelor Johnson, director of community relations for Mueller Memorial. "We're not trying to keep people from grieving. We're validating that it's OK to laugh and cry. We are open to doing whatever we can within the capabilities of the building to give people what they want." Even if it's parking a street rod in the middle of the room.

in the younger generation in a well-paying field that has an opportunity.” “We are looking to pay that forward to the next generation,” he said. “We are proud to be a part of this.” He picked White Bear Lake Area Schools as a starting point for the program because he was opening a new store in town and the school has a strong trades program. He plans to kick-start the program in Burnsville and in Louisiana this year as well. “This is a brand new venture for us,” he said. Delroy Nyren, career and technology educator, is excited about the partnership and how it encourages students in his industrial technology program on a worthy career path. “We have a goal: we want to continue to educate people what the value is for those trade programs,” said Nyren. “There is merit and honor in what they want to pursue.” The tools donated include a work table and cart, pressure washer, tie set, air impact gun, drill bit set and air hydraulic meter kit. Northern Tool and Equipment was started by Kotula's father out of his garage in Eagan. It now has 94 locations nationally and seven in the Twin Cities metro area.

Career pathways This school year, White Bear Lake Area Schools initiated two of the four career pathways programs it plans to implement in the next two years

in partnership with District 916. “We have four career pathways we are in the process of developing,” said Sara Paul, assistant superintendent. The construction and manufacturing pathways began this year and next year IT and health care will begin. The pathway consists of a series of four courses which give students enough experience that “could lead to potential jobs right out of high school or connect to postsecondary at the technical level or the university level,” said Nyren. Nyren's classroom was outfitted with a new electronic lathe and two mills last fall to bolster the pathways which are part of his classroom — manufacturing and construction. Wilson Tool donated tooling for the machines. “This is completely new for most students,” said Nyren. “This is a big leap forward for them.” Nyren has taught woodworking at White Bear Lake Area High School for 25 years. But this year there wasn't a specific woodworking class. Instead, it was incorporated as a component of the manufacturing class. He now teaches a combination of skills, manual as well as electronic and digital. There is also an engineering component to the technology classes — architectural, civil, electrical and mechanical. Students can also do 3-D printing and laser cutting. The high school robotics club also uses classroom machines to make parts.

Delroy Nyren, career and technology educator, got a new electronic mill and lathe in his classroom last fall to jump-start the construction and manufacturing career pathways programs.

Two automotive classes are also part of the career and technology programs. Students work in a real garage with auto mechanics teacher Frank Malone, who used to work in the field. Students fix motorcycles, snowmobiles and lawn mowers, in addition to working on vehicles. The program takes donations from the community for students to work on.

Local student among National Merit Scholars BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Ethan Beauclaire, a White Bear Lake Area High School senior and resident of Hugo, was named a National Merit Scholar this month. Beauclaire is among 45 Minnesota students recognized with the $2,500 scholastic honor in the second of four rounds of awards. Beauclaire is the only student in the district to receive the scholarship so far this year. Beauclaire became a semifinalist as a junior after scoring within the top 1 percent of PSAT scores nationwide. About 15,000 finalists were named nationally and about half, or 7,500, will receive the scholarship. The number of winners in each state is proportional to the state's percentage of the nation's graduating high school seniors. Students were evaluated based on academic record, test scores, contributions and leadership in school and community, an essay and a recommendation.

Beauclaire has been ranked number one in his class since he was a freshman. He currently has a cumulative weighted GPA of 4.467 and a weighted GPA of 4.0. He scored 34 on the ACT and 2220 on the SAT. He memorized 314 digits of pi for fun. He can solve a Rubik's Cube puzzle in 80 seconds. Beauclaire's favorite areas of study have been math and music. “Since sixth grade, I was playing in the band programs,” he said. Beauclaire plays trombone, piano and saxophone. He played trombone in the all-state band and has volunteered as a piano player at Regions Hospital. Beauclaire received the Semper Fidelis Musical Excellence award last week. The award is sponsored by the United States Marines Youth Foundation, Inc. (USMYF) and recognizes distinguished high school band members. 15,000 youth across the nation are recognized each year and are nominated by high school band directors. Beauclaire was a captain of the White Bear Lake Area High

School math team during his junior and senior years. He hit the “century mark,” which means he earned more than 100 points at math meets throughout his participation. “That has always been one of my favorite activities I have done throughout high school,” he said. Beauclaire was also named “Math Student of the Year” at the White Bear Lake Area High School awards ceremony May 18. The math department actually chose two students this year — Beauclaire and a close friend of his. “He has taken every math class he could while he has been at White Bear High School,” said Beauclaire's mom, Karen. Calculus is his favorite, he said. Beauclaire plans to study computer science and trombone performance at the University of Minnesota this fall. Between his National Merit Scholarship and three scholarships from the U of M, he has almost all of his tuition covered. “We are thrilled,” said Kar-

en, speaking for her and her husband, Jesse. “I feel like it is going to give him the opportunity to really explore both of his passions in college without incurring huge amounts of debt.” The Beauclaires are proud parents, but don't take credit for his smarts. “Ethan has always been very driven and very motivated,” she said. “He has just been so driven ever since he was just tiny. He has always kind of pushed himself to be successful. My husband and I don't want to take credit for this. So much of this is based on who he is.” Beauclaire visited Stanford, Notre Dame and Berkeley, but chose to stick closer to home. His grandfather Bill Klecker, who lives in White Bear Township, is spreading the news of his grandson's success around town because he knew Ethan might not announce it himself. “I've never heard him brag in my life,” said Klecker. “He's so quiet you don't know he's in the room.”

Real estate Trends Love Lost?

You found your dream home! You have waited months for it to come on the market and you act immediately to still find yourself in multiple offers – now what? The first step is to find out how many offers you are competing against and who has the offers? Is it the Listing Agent’s or one of their agents in their office/company? If the Agent is following the letter of the law, they won’t be sharing the price, terms and motivation of your offer only that multiple offers exist. Is there time to modify your offer? Is there a deadline for all buyers with offers to reconsider their offer and give them your highest and best offer?

Bald Eagle’s Best!

Keep in mind their Agent is to follow the sellers direction as to how they prefer to handle this. The Seller may want to get it done so they may set a deadline that is very short. If it is a situation with multiple Sellers, as in the case of an estate, where multiple people are involved with the selling decision. It may be a few days to get a response. So, how do you put your offer in the highest regard? Do you raise the price? Remove certain contingencies? More earnest money? Quicker closing? Use different financing? Eliminate Seller paid closing costs? Eliminate certain inspections or get rid of a home warranty cost? BE VERY CAREFUL! Time to think clearly and get the big picture of the entire transaction and repercussions. You don’t want to overpay. If you are financing the proper-

ty, it still has to appraise. But what happens if it doesn’t? The highest offer may not be the best offer for the Seller. Remember it is price & terms not just price that constitutes the offer. If you are eliminating inspections and warranties, you could be opening yourself up to some very costly mistakes that could leave you with no recourse.

Be prepared every time when you come to play. That includes what you eat, how much you sleep as well as having quality time for warm up practice. 6. Focus on what you can control and let go of the things you can’t (like the weather, your playing partners, etc). 7. Create a good pre-shot routine and make sure you do it for every shot. 8. Be totally committed to every shot. If you are standing over a shot and doubt creeps into your mind, step away and reassess it. 9. Make your practice as much like real golf as you can. 10.

summer is to trust my swing on every shot. If I miss it, I miss it but it’s not going to be a result of not having full confidence. You need to learn to trust your swing, it’s your signature. I’ve said this many times before; the greatest saboteur of the golf swing is tension. You really can learn to control it, but first you need to figure out where it is lives inside of you. In my opinion, the first place tension shows up for the average golfer is in the hands and forearms. The other place it often occurs is in the jaw. For you it might be somewhere else. The next time you’re playing and you start to feel tense, take a deep breath right before you take the club away. This will remove tension from every muscle in your body. Give it a try; it really works for a lot of people. Have you ever stood over a ball and felt 100% certain you were going to hit a great shot? You probably have also stood over a ball and had no idea where the ball could go. Yet it’s the same person holding the same club and bringing to the shot the same mechanics that have proven to work in the past. One day you are brimming with confidence, the next day you have none. Here are ten things you can do to help you build confidence in your game. 1. You can start by remembering past successes, instead of failures when faced with a difficult shot. 2. I believe you need to be realistic about your skill level. Don’t expect perfection on every shot, or even every hole. 3. Learn to control your inner self talk. I read a study that said the average person has 60,000 thoughts a day. And 90 % of those thoughts are the same as the day before. Is your talk positive or negative? If it’s usually negative, think

Everybody wants to get better, but most golfers don’t have a game plan as to what to do or even where to start. If your swing is really inconsistent, then you should take lessons from a reputable golf professional. If you Tee Time have one minor issue, you may be able to fix it in with Coach one or two lessons. But if your game needs a major Betsy overhaul, you need to be realistic about the time Larey and effort (and money) it will take to get you on the right track. Only you can decide if you’re willing to put forth the work to do it. This article is written for golfers who have a reasonably decent golf swing but still can’t score. Maybe you start out with a bang, but find yourself losing steam after one or two bogeys. Maybe things are firing on all cylinders until you 3 putt. Then on the next green you’re standing over a putt thinking -- whatever you do don’t 3 putt. Or maybe things are going great until you hook your first drive out of bounds. On the next tee I’m guessing you might be thinking, just hit the ball straight. Any of these sound familiar? What they all have in common is this; you start thinking instead of just swinging. Autopilot goes off, and you’re flying this thing in manually for the rest of the round. It is very difficult to have multiple swing thoughts in your mind as you stand over a golf ball. When you do, tension will creep into your body. Tension comes from fear, and fear comes from a lack of confidence and a loss of trust. My own personal goal this

Local grad competes on American Ninja Warrior BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

What ambitious young physical fitness fanatic wouldn’t want his name in the same sentence as “Ninja?" Mahtomedi native Leif Sandberg will be seen next month on American Ninja Warrior as one of the amazing athletes charging up warped walls, hand-walking peg to peg hanging high in the air, pushing skyward in a half-cylinder with their feet, and other torturous challenges concocted for the show. “It’s really nice after putting in two years hard work to get a call from NBC,” said Sundberg, who competed at regionals in Indianapolis on April 27-28 with teammates in their Ninjas United Club based in Buffalo. With close to 90 competitors, every run was filmed, to be edited for the footage that will appear on the June 13 episode. “You’re not all guaranteed to be on the show,” Sundberg said, “but it sounds like a lot of us (from Buffalo) will get some air time. They are asking for more footage and asking for more information.” The 2008 Mahtomedi

graduate was a soccer goalie and baseball first baseman for the Zephyrs. He played soccer at Bethel College, where he posted seven shutouts and ranked third in the MIAC in saves his senior season. Sundberg, 26, who majored in biology with pre-med emphasis, is a nuclear medicine technician, operating a mobile radiology unit to scan patients at rural hospitals. He lives in Northfield. He started training in earnest in April of 2014, two years after his college soccer ended. “I’ve always been a fan of the show, first the Japanese show, and then the American version,” said Sundberg. “I never thought I’d be able to do it myself.” What inspired him to take on the challenge was his mother, Glori, dealing with Alzheimer’s Disease. She passed away in 2013. There is no cure, but patients can slow the progression of the disease through medications, exercise and mental stimulation. “That was the turning point,” he said. “I had this epiphany that if my mother can battle Alzheimer’s, I can battle for this.” Sundberg remains devoted to fighting his

mother’s affliction. While at Bethel, he worked on a research project examining the efficacy of herbal supplements and their effect on Alzheimer's-like symptoms in rats. At Mayo Clinic for his internship, he worked on a project exploring how to assist radiologists in diagnosing Alzheimer's with brain scans. He is a member of the Young Champions of the Alzheimer's Association. He is running a fundraiser, selling Ninja shirts from Mother’s Day through June 13, the day his episode airs, online at tinyurl.com/ninjaALZ.

NINJA WARRIOR: Competes in Mom’s memory FROM PAGE 4B

found the group in Buffalo called Ninjas United, guys who build and purchase their own equipment, and basically coach and train each other. He makes the two-hour drive from Northfield to Buffalo two or three times a week. “It’s the only ‘gym’ in Minnesota that offers the type of training you see on the show,” said Sundberg, who previously trained on playground equipment like monkey bars and pull-up bars. “We do rock climbing, free running, balance, body-weight fitness, things like that.” Club members make their own large obstacles like the salmon ladder, warped wall, and bar slider while purchasing the grip-strength obstacles from the firms Three Ball Climbing and Atomic Climbing Holds. Sundberg attended the 2015

midwest regional in Kansas City and served as a tester prior to the competition. The show’s producers use budding contestants to run the courses and make sure the equipment is just right before the competition. He applied last December and got a call in mid-March. The first step is filling out a long questionnaire for the producers to gauge what motivates each applicant and what makes them interesting. “It’s an entertainment show, so it’s not just for the best athletes,” Sundberg explained. Also required was a three-minute audition video. At 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, Sundberg says he’s right at the maximum size you can be to be competitive in Ninja. His long wingspan serves him well in the Salmon Ladder (so-called because climbers look like they are going upstream), Peg Wall, and Rope Climb especially. It’s a risky sport, obviously. Common injuries Sandberg has seen are

torn groins and face lacerations. He has avoided injury so far, although like all Ninja athletes, he frequently suffers “forearm pump,” or arm numbness. “That happens to me in training all the time, usually on obstacles that require grip strength for an extended period. After it happens, I usually take a 10-minute break to recuperate, and go right back to training.” Best physical traits for Ninja, he said, are “being a well-round athlete” with good cardio, balance, grip and upper body strength. He hasn’t seen anyone with football or basketball backgrounds because “they don’t have the ideal body types” with the frequent hanging and swinging in air being difficult for big guys. Mountain climbers, gymnasts, and cross fit athletes are more suited for Ninja. Apparently, so are some soccer goalies.

CITY OF VADNAIS HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA 2015 DRINKING WATER AND CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT The City of Vadnais Heights is issuing the results of monitoring done on its drinking water for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2015. The purpose of this report is to advance consumers’ understanding of drinking water and heighten awareness of the need to protect precious water resources. This document has been posted on our City website under Departments & Services (Click on Utilities, then Water and Sewer, then Documents on right hand toolbar) and can be accessed directly at http://bit.ly/1N6yTbC. Source of Water The City of Vadnais Heights provides drinking water to its residents from a groundwater source: four wells ranging from 470 to 495 feet deep, that draw water from the Prairie Du Chien-Jordan aquifer. The Minnesota Department of Health has made a determination as to how vulnerable our systems’ source(s) of water may be to future contamination incidents. If you wish to obtain the entire source water assessment regarding your drinking water, please call 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 (and press 5) during normal business hours. Also, you can view it on line at www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa. Call City Engineer Mark Graham at 651-204-6050 or email him at mark.graham@cityvadnaisheights.com if you have questions about the City of Vadnais Heights drinking water or would like information about opportunities for public participation in decisions that may affect the quality of the water. Please also contact Mark Graham if you would like a paper copy of this document. Results of Monitoring No contaminants were detected at levels that violated federal drinking water standards. However, some contaminants were detected in trace amounts that were below legal limits. The table that follows shows the contaminants that were detected in trace amounts last year. (Some contaminants are sampled less frequently than once a year; as a result, not all contaminants were sampled for in 2015. If any of these contaminants were detected the last time they were sampled for, they are included in the table along with the date that the detection occurred.) Key to abbreviations: 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. 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. MRDL—Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level. MRDLG—Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal. AL—Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirement which a water system must follow. 90th Percentile Level—This is the value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the samples taken that had the highest levels. (For example, in a situation in which 10 samples were taken, the 90th percentile level is determined by disregarding the highest result, which represents 10 percent of the samples.) Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken, the average of the two with the highest levels is taken to determine the 90th percentile level. pCi/l—PicoCuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity). ppm—Parts per million, which can also be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/l). ppb—Parts per billion, which can also be expressed as micrograms per liter (Οg/l). N/A—Not Applicable (does not apply

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Vadnais Heights is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by ushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Monitoring may have been done for additional contaminants that do not have MCLs established for them and are not required to be monitored under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Results may be available by calling 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours. Compliance with National Primary Drinking Water Regulations The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturallyoccurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturallyoccurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturallyoccurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. 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 1-800-426-4791. 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. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/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 1-800-426-4791.

VADNAIS HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Vadnais Heights City Council took the following action at its May 18 meeting: • Councilman Bob Fletcher proposed an amendment to the agenda, to add the consideration of a resolution regarding public release of a 2013 draft forensic audit on the Vadnais Heights Sports Center. At the time, it was under the operation of Mark Bigelbach and the Sport Facility Development and Management Group. In the proposed resolution, Fletcher cited the lawsuit settlement with Bigelbach in January and the need for public transparency as reasons to release the document, which cost the city $12,000. Fletcher asked that the proposed resolution be added to the new business section of the agenda and requested that there be no vote on it that evening, as Mayor Marc Johannsen was absent. However, there were two no votes (Jerry Auge and Terry Nyblom) and two yes votes (Fletcher and Craig Johnson) to add the resolution to that evening's agenda. City Administrator Kevin Watson said the item could be added to the agenda of another council meeting, as a City Council member can add an item to a future agenda. The council decided not to add the item and Fletcher requested it be added to the next council agenda. • Heard a Rush Line update from Mike Rogers of the Ramsey County Regional Railroad. The project would bring arterial or rapid bus transit or light rail to a corridor between the Union Depot in St. Paul and Forest Lake. Currently, the project is still in the evaluation stage and various route alter-

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP NOTES natives are being evaluated. One of proposed routes uses White Bear Avenue and one uses Highway 61. Decisions regarding the routes are expected to be made by the end of the year. Neighborhood meetings will be held in the near future. • Approved building plans for Gentry Academy on the northwest lot of the Vadnais Heights Sports Complex, 1420 County Road E. The school, which specializes in leadership and hockey electives, has been held at the Blaine Sports Center. Currently, it has 40 students enrolled in fi fth to eighth grade. It hopes to expand to 200 students in fi fth to 12th grade in the future and add more sports electives. The school will utilize the Vadnais Heights Sports Center for its sports focus. The building will be three stories and total 38,000 square feet. The construction of the school result in a loss of 12 sports center parking spaces. • Approved building plans for Liberty Village, comprised of a 32unit senior living facility and 42 townhomes adjacent to Edgerton Street and I-694. The location is a former plant nursery site. • Reopened and continued a public hearing on a zoning code amendment for the Body Art Establishment. It will be continued at the June 1 City Council meeting. • Reopened and continued a public hearing on a zoning code amendment for awning signs for Thomas and Signs Company, on behalf of Fresh Thyme. It will be continued at the June 1 City Council meeting. Sara Marie Moore

The White Bear Town Board conducted the following action at its May 16 meeting: • Approved seven hobby kennel licenses for township residents. White Bear Township requires citizens with three dogs to apply for the license. Supervisors granted two-year licenses to the following addresses: 3992 Birch Knoll Road (Richard Rudh), 2699 Evergreen Circle (Kevin and Kim Larson), 5355 Hugo Court (Margaret and Scott Funston), 2502 Taylor Avenue (David and Gayle Kittleson), 5941 Otter View Trail (Kristin Thornwall and Laura Phelan), 5423 Jefferson Court (Michelle Molitor), 5451 Normandy Court (Patrick Degree). The only extraordinary condition, placed on Molitor's license, was that the animal control officer would review her license in one year, due to an anonymous complaint in response to the advertisement for public input. • Approved a solicitor's license to the following five employees of Renewal by Andersen: Thong Thao, Brandon Martinez, Chris Olson, Patrick Prokosch, Ashley Anderson. They're permitted to make doorto-door sales solicitations between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, for the 30 days following the township meeting on May 16. The list of names was reduced from the original application by Renewal by Andersen following concerns raised in the background checks performed by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. • Authorized a $1,446.75 increase to the contract with Institutform to

complete the Overlake Avenue sanitary sewer lining project, because the size of the pipe needed was underestimated (10 inch was needed, rather than 8 inch). That brings the total cost of the project to $37,410 — still within budget. • Approved the payment of $1,650 to the town's engineering fi rm, TKDA, in payment for the preparation for and presentations at two resident meetings to discuss the Southeast Area sanitary sewer lining project. The meetings allowed residents to give feedback on the proposals and ask questions about the project, which will ultimately be funded through homeowner assessments. • Granted a side yard setback variance and administrative driveway variance to Ken and Erika Arndt, of 2577 County Road F, to construct a new two-stall garage set back 5 feet from the side lot line. An undersized lot meant variances were required to achieve replacement of the existing single-stall garage originally constructed in the 1950s. • Granted a lakeshore setback variance to Peter Salisbury of 2609 South Shore Boulevard, permitting a lakeshore setback of 8 feet, rather than the required 50 feet, for the property which is planned to be raised 4-5 feet in height. The increase in elevation will allow a crawl space under the house to be developed into a workshop area and is part of a transition of the property from family cabin to permanent home.

• By a vote of 3-0, (with Councilman Tim Deans abstaining as the applicant's brother) approved six of seven variance requests from Jason and Julie Deans, at 368 Warner Ave. S. for corner side yard, side yard, rear yard and size of accessory building variances in order to construct a 26-foot by 32-foot garage. The Planning Commission recommended approval of all the variances at its May 11 regular meeting except for one, which was a reduction in the requested rear yard setback variance due to drainage issues. • By a vote of 3-1 (Councilman Joel Schilling opposed) tabled a request from Pratt Development, on behalf of George Reiling, for a minor subdivision in order to divide the property at the southeast corner of Birchwood Road and Lost Lake Court into three lots. At its May 11 meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended conditional approval. City staff concerns included shoreland overlay setbacks and alterations within the shoreland and wetland buffers. Council directed the Parks Commission to study the wetland and trail issues. Council also extended the variance application time table. • Discussed stormwater management in the Sivertson-Daugherty Subdivision on Edgecumbe Drive and directed staff to review stormwater management within the development and return to council with recommendations, costs, timing and funding for necessary improvements. The subdivision, approved in 2004, consisted of five new lots and connected Edgecumbe Drive between the Old Wildwood Road and Wildridge Pines neighborhoods. In March, residents along Edgecumbe Drive notified council that the rain gardens installed adjacent to the roadway to manage stormwater in the development have been inadequate, resulting in significant water runoff and debris. • Approved final construction pay voucher to Hardrives Inc. in the amount of $47,400 for the 2015 Improvement Project. • Approved construction pay voucher to T. A. Schifsky and Sons Inc. in the amount of $39,700 for Phase 2 of the Historic District improvement project. • Authorized stormwater pond data collection. Preliminary investigation of existing basins must be completed before the city's capital improvement plan (CIP) is completed in 2017. Cost for the project is approximately $12,000, with monies available from the stormwater fund. • Approved change order for Phase 2 of the Historic District improvements. Work includes additional tree removal as recommended by the city forester, additional fence installation, additional water main directional drilling and service work to minimize the impact of large trees in the project area. The change order is an increase of $20,200 from the original contract amount of $2.9 million. • Awarded the contract for the Gosiwin Trail improvement project to Park Construction in the amount of $53,300, the lowest of three bids received. • Approved 19 solar garden subscription agreements with Geronimo Energy to participate in the community solar gardens program to offset the city's energy costs at facilities such as the lift stations, Fire Station, City Hall and Public Works. • Authorized plans and specifications and advertisement for bids for the sanitary sewer maintenance program, which proposes to repair and line sewer pipes for increased utility and to reduce the amount of infiltration and inflow within the city system. The project has been programmed into the city's CIP to be completed in the fall or early winter of 2016. The improvements are expected to be completed without trenching and should not impact the existing roadway surface, City Engineer Jay Kennedy said. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 7 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

Presents Workforce Success Stories:

Showcasing Careers in Manufacturing and Skilled Trades WORK IS GOOD THERAPY … HARD WORK LEADS TO SUCCESS By Nicola Kelley Hyser Larry Zack, CEO of Fresh Paint Inc. in Vadnais Heights, credits a good mentor for shaping his work ethic, which he believes has led to a successful career. In turn, with the well-being and success of his employees in mind, he has modeled good habits and given helpful advice to them. Zack says, “Sometimes, my employees are experiencing rough times in their lives, and they find it difficult to come to work, so I encourage them to work their struggles out on the job because work is good therapy. The easiest thing to do is fail … You’ve got to go to work everyday and not fail.” Zack’s mentor was the president of the previous company he worked for, Multi Clean in Shoreview. He began working there shortly after graduating from high school, and within 10 years he was the general manager and continued in

that position until 1996, when he bought Fresh Paint from a friend. He trained in “the painting business” from the ground up and, over time, transformed it from a seasonal, residential business into a leader in commercial and industrial painting, decorating and restoration in the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin. Of Fresh Paint’s early days, Zack says, “Our equipment literally consisted of a few bent ladders and a couple broken sprayers.” Today, Fresh Paint employs nearly 30 professionals. Its relatively new offshoot company, Fresh Blast, has about five employees, and specializes in dry ice and dust-free blasting and floor grinding. Neither company uses subcontractors, which Zack is proud of. “We train and promote from within the company.” Another source of pride for Zack is “the fact that we can take on the largest projects the industry offers and do them successfully.” Fresh Paint projects include: the Uptown Theater marquee and the KSTP radio tower at the state

BUSINESS BRIEFS White Bear Rental changes owners White Bear Rental has changed hands. Longtime owners Bill and Paula Johnson retired, selling the company last month to employee Dan Emert and his wife Carol. Dan is a ’99 White Bear Lake grad who has worked for the Johnsons the last 19 years. Carol was an office technician for the city of Shoreview before leaving that position to work full time at the rental business. Dan is head mechanic and Carol does the bookkeeping, marketing and customer service. They've lived in White Bear Lake for six years, moving back to the neighborhood where Dan grew up. Carol's brother has also joined the locally owned, family -run business. There are no major changes at this point, but the owners hope to eventually expand party rentals like tents, tables and chairs. They already rent bounce houses, and snow cone and cotton candy machines. "We love it here," Carol said, "and we look forward to serving our community, neighbors and friends."

Bank hosts A Million Thanks MidCountry Bank of Vadnais Heights will participate in the A Million Thanks program during May. Letters of appreciation for military members can be dropped off at the bank. The A Million Thanks organization will deliver the

letters of encouragement to troops. MidCountry Bank has specially designed letterhead for letter writers to use if they wish. For more information, call Cami Jo Sonnenburg at 952-843-5228.

Insurance agency recognized McNamara Company has been named one of the top 10 growth agencies for Auto-Owners Insurance in Minnesota for 2015. The agency was recognized at a luncheon in White Bear Lake, where it has an office at 1330 Hwy. 96 E. McNamara Company has represented Auto-Owners since 1992.

Former realty building sold A North Oaks property developer has purchased the vacant Coldwell Banker Burnet building on Hwy. 96, just east of I-35E. Plans are to convert two floors into 44 private offices for small businesses to rent, all amenities included, according to Shannon Hartinger, property manager for her father-in-law, John Hartinger. They are calling the office building The Colonial, "to stay in tune with the building's architecture," she said. The private offices will be available June 1. A new event center is planned for the ground floor, which they are calling The Charleston. Its tag line is Southern Charm with Midwest Flair. The

6,000-square-foot event center will be available for weddings and special events with its decor a meld of plantation style with Midwest materials. They hope to start booking the event space, capacity 350, by early August. Hartinger said her father-in-law owns an office building in Shoreview, apartments in Vermillion and South Dakota, a shopping center in Blaine and other property in five states. They also own an online business, wallpapersplus. com. They plan to headquarter in the renovated building, which is close to home for both families. Hartinger is married to John's son Eric, who works for US Bank. They also live in North Oaks with their four children. "We're excited about the White Bear Lake space," she said. "It's been a landmark building for a long time. When people walk in, they will be impressed." For information on the space, email Hartinger at success@colonialoffices. com.

WEATHER TIDBIT Temperatures really took off this past week and over the weekend. Coupled with low humidity and dry conditions, it made for great outdoor activities which included planting my vegetable garden (a week earlier than last year). Look for Jupiter in the west at sunset. YEAR AGO THIS WEEK We experienced two 1-inch plus rains to end the month, May 26: 1.41” and May 29: 1.01”. This brought May 2015 rain total to 6.18”. Planted my vegetable garden on May 30.

At the deepest point in the ocean, the water pressure is equivalent to having about 50 jumbo jets piled on top of you.

— Four punk rock band members (Anton Yelchin, Alia Shawkat, Joe Cole and Callum Turner) and a bar patron (Imogen Poots) witness the stabbing death of a woman (Taylor Tunes) by a jealous skinhead (Brent Werzner) at an isolated roadhouse club in the back woods of Oregon, owned by a ruthless white supremacist (Patrick Stewart), in this intense, captivating, violent, 94-minute, 2015 thriller, and desperately try to escape when the owner’s neo-Nazi skinhead henchmen try to dispose of the evidence and the witnesses.

— Jodie Foster directs this riveting, superbly acted, well-written, well-paced, star-studded (Giancarlo Esposito, Lenny Venito, Chris Bauer and Christopher Denham), 95-minute film in which a distraught New York City truck driver (Jack O’Connell) who has a pregnant girlfriend (Emily Meade) and has lost $60,000 in the stock market after an alleged computer glitch, takes a television money advisor/host (George Clooney) and forces him to wear a bomb vest while the show’s producer (Julia Roberts) scrambles to get answers from a doggy IBIS CEO (Dominic West) and his communications director (Caitriona Balfe).

Perkins closes due to fire

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — A kitchen fire May 15 at Perkins has temporarily shut down the restaurant. The fire began in the kitchen hood ventilation system and spread into the kitchen ceiling area. Smoke and flames could be seen on the rooftop. “An electrical motor in the ventilation system malfunctioned,” said Ed Leier, Vadnais Heights Fire Chief. Inspections of Perkins’ fire certificate of occupancy showed “all required fire protection systems were currently inspected and maintained,” stated Leier. “There was fire damage to the roof and concealed space between the roof deck and interior kitchen

ceiling as well as smoke and water damage to the kitchen and dining areas of the restaurant,” stated Leier. The ventilation system also needs to be fixed. No injuries occurred. The Vadnais Heights Fire Department was on scene within four minutes of receiving the call at 4:05 p.m. The White Bear Lake and Little Canada fire departments also assisted with putting out the fire. The restaurant will be closed for two weeks, reported an employee on site. Perkins is located at 1045 County Road E. SARA MARIE MOORE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
