Memorial Day did not become a federal holiday until the 1970s, but its observance originated in the years following the Civil War.
ne of history’s most solemn days, Memorial Day is an American holiday that honors the men and women who died while serving in the United States military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. In May 1868, Gen. John A. Logan, the commander-in-chief of the Union veterans’ group known as the Grand Army of the Republic, issued a decree that May 30 should become a nationwide day of commemoration for the more than 620,000 soldiers killed in the recently ended Civil War. On Decoration Day, as Logan dubbed it, Americans should lay flowers and decorate the graves of the war dead “whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land.” According to legend, Logan chose May 30 because it was a rare day that didn’t fall on the anniversary of a Civil War battle, though some historians believe the date was selected to ensure that flowers across the country would be in full bloom. Today Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May. The American flag should be hung at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day, then raised to the top of the staff. And since 2000, when the U.S. Congress passed legislation, all Americans are encouraged to pause for a National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time. SEE MEMORIAL DAY, PAGE 10
American flags flags and red, red white and blue flowers can often be spotted at cemeteries around Memorial Day.

LIONS CORNER www.whitebearlions.org www.e-clubhouse.org/sites/hugomn www.e-clubhouse.org/sites/wildwoodmn Hi, my name is Kate Hunt. I am the President of the White Bear Lake Lions Club. I have been a Lion for 17 years. I grew up as part of a “Lion’s family.” I grew up with many relatives who were and are Lion’s Members. My parents (Lion Dave Hunt and Lion Susan Hunt) always encourage us kids to help others and give back to our Community. I participated in Lion’s activities at an early age. During rehearsals for the White Bear Lake Lions Annual Show, I served as the “Show Babysitter” for many years. By the age of 13 when I started appearing in shows, I held the official title as “Dance Captain for Show Members in the Back Row.” The White Bear Lake Lions Club are quite active in community service projects. Some of these projects include: the Annual Holiday Toy and Food Drive, the Annual Show, the Bear Water Run, and our efforts to build an all abilities park. Some people talk about an epiphany moment that happens when they go from being a member of a Lions Club to being a

Lion. For myself, this happened in a few distinct stages. For many years, I was just a Club member. I would volunteer when and where I could. Eventually I became a member of the Board of Trustees for the Club. It was a lot more responsibility but I learned about how Lions work behind the scenes. After serving in different roles on the Board, I became President of the Club. I set new goals. I was ready for new opportunities and for being in charge. Then COVID-19 hit. Although COVID threw us a curve ball, and presented us with many challenges, we were able to carry on many of our traditions. The experience, although it was painful for our club and our community, it taught us to keep striving and keep moving forward. As my term as President comes to an end, I realize that I have a lot left to learn and more to do. If you are interested in being a Lion, please visit our website at https://www. whitebearlions.org/. I would love to hear from you.

Age is just a number for this Mahtomedi painter IF YOU GO:
BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER
What: Art exhibit, “Judith Johnson: Minnesota Artist” When: 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 3 Where: Wildwood Library, 763 Stillwater Road
SUBMITTED
Johnson wondered, “Who did I have lunch with?” After some investigating, she found out it was Clem Haupers, a well-known painter in Minnesota. Everything she loved about Hopper’s paintings was reflected in Haupers’ style as well. “I called him, and he invited me to his studio, and I became his protégée,” Johnson said. “I was in my 30s at the time and he was about 60. He became a father figure to me and a part of my family. We were friends for 20 years when he died at the age of 80.” When she was 50, Johnson went back to school and got her Ph.D. in design and art history. She then became a professor of design at the University of Minnesota until she retired. “After retirement, I joined the Birchwood Town Hall painters and the North
Star painters in Roseville,” Johnson said. “We also have a group called the pandemic painters. Since we couldn’t meet anywhere because of COVID, we started painting in our cars in the park-
ing lots of Birchwood and Como Park.” Johnson describes herself as an illustrator and realistic painter. “I paint what I see around me. I paint barns, old houses and people,” she said. “My illustrations would be great in a children’s book,” she said. Johnson’s illustrations were published in a poetry book and a book on prayer back in the 1960s. Recently, she self-published a book on Finnish folktales called “Troll Tales” that featured her creative illustrations. She is currently working on a Swedish folktale book. “I always have something that I’m working on,” she said. “I get up in the morning and I’m drawing at the breakfast table.” Johnson and her husband reside in Grant. She will celebrate her 80th birthday two days after the show. “I'm really excited for the show, and I still love painting after all these years,” she said.

Judith Johnson
A painting by Judith Johnson honoring her mentor Clem Haupers simply titled, “Clem’s House.”
702308
Judith Johnson began drawing with chalk when she was a child. That grew into a love of painting, which has continued to this day. Johnson is now well into her 70s, and she doesn’t plan to put down her paintbrushes anytime soon. Johnson’s paintings will be featured at an upcoming exhibit at the Wildwood Library. The show, “Judith Johnson: Minnesota Artist,” will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 3, at the library, 763 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi. Johnson grew up in Mahtomedi, graduated from high school in 1958 and was the class artist. “I did all the posters and cartoons for the school paper,” she said. “After high school, my mother didn’t want me to major in art, so I majored in home economics because they had art classes.” When she married her husband, Jack, he was attending Gustavus Adolphus College. She took some art classes there and eventually got her art education degree. She taught home economics at various high schools for approximately 25 years while the couple raised their three children. While teaching at the Minnesota School of Arts in St. Paul, Johnson was asked to judge an art show. She thought her favorite painter, Edward Hopper, was going to be one of the judges. “I was really excited to meet him,” she said. “While judging the show, he was very harsh on the artists and was leaving shattered souls in his wake,” she said. “We went to lunch after the show and I told him I that loved his work. During the meal, he was looking at me like he didn’t know what I was talking about. When I got home and told my husband that I had lunch with Edward Hopper, he looked at me and said, ‘He’s been dead for quite a number of years.’”

Weather inspires projects
L
IVING IN MINNESOTA where we have four seasons, spring brings about long lists of projects, home maintenance, gardening, and recreational toys that need service. With Covid-19 subsiding, people are recognizing they need some catch-up with their medical services, too. Some doctors and clinics today provide patients with the option of Zoom or phone contact. I don’t know what your community is like this spring, but our streets and sidewalks are clean, yards have been raked, trees are budding, tulips are blooming and docks are going in rapidly. It’s a wonderful time of year when so much of nature comes to life. IT WAS GOOD news to learn that Minnesota was able to keep its eight Congressional seats based on the 2020 census. Our population in Minnesota is now 5,709,752. Minnesota hasn’t grown much in the last ten years, but fortunately we retain our eight seats in Congress and the Electoral College. Some political boundaries still need to be redrawn, and the legislature will have a difficult time agreeing on the About the process. The Minnesota legislature also needs to take into consideration the Town senior population and the high state Gene Johnson income tax. For many it’s desirable to change their residency to where they spend their winters. There are some states that have reduced the income tax percentage for those who are seniors. It might be worth taking another look at the loss of revenue by holding the tax rate too high. IT TAKES COURAGE not to be discouraged. AS I REFLECT on the economic stress and anxiety caused by Covid-19 on the small business community, I appreciate our Senator Amy Klobuchar for her strong support on the Payroll Protection Program. Small business provides the majority of employment in the United States and many small businesses were hurt severely during the pandemic, and some toppled over. The hospitality industry was hit particularly hard and there are still programs in the works to put them on their feet or bring them back. It’s been an unusual year. We’re still learning and there are a lot of jobs available for those who want to work or are not discouraged by government assistance. Some businesses have increased sales, such as hearing aid clinics. Masks have prevented people from reading lips so they turn to getting hearing tests and purchasing the instruments to help. WHATEVER PROJECT YOU take on, leave it better than you found it, whether at work or at home, and teach your children to seek improvement. EXAMINE YOURSELF If you want to know where you’re really at as a Christian, listen to your words, even more so, your thoughts. The tongue reveals the true feelings of our heart: Harsh words . . . . . . Angry heart Negative words . . . . . . Fearful heart Talk a lot . . . . . . . Unsettled heart Critical words . . . . . . Bitter heart Filthy words . . . . . . Impure heart Boasting words . . . . . . Insecure heart Encouraging words . . . . . . Happy heart Gentle words . . . . . . Tender heart Kind words . . . . . .

Fostering a welcoming & inclusive community for everyone
O
ne legacy created by the tragic murder of George Floyd is the conversations started across the country about how we treat each other. And while leaders in Washington and St. Paul continue to discuss new laws and programs addressing the residual effects of our not-soproud history, perhaps the most important work is being done locally — in our families, in our communities. Mayor Jo Emerson started planning for White Bear City of Lake’s local conversation on White Bear these issues last summer when Lake she announced the creation of a city-based Welcoming and Inclusive Community Task Force. We are proud to be appointed members of this important initiative. Our founding mission is to foster a welcoming and inclusive community for everyone who lives and works here. The process begins with what could be a risky and uncomfortable task – an assessment of how
we treat each other in White Bear Lake. When we peel back the layers of White Bear Lake’s version of Minnesota nice, what will we find? Are there disparities of access or participation based on race, sexual orientation, culture, gender, physical ability, socio-economic status, or any other characteristic? Another characteristic that might be unique to White Bear Lake is longevity in the community. Are you treated like an outsider if you did not grow up in town or go to school here? Specifically, how do citizens and visitors feel when they interact with our police and fire departments? How about when you renew your tabs at the license bureau or get a building permit for a new addition? Looking at data and surveys will help, but our goal is to use real conversations with real people to go beyond the data. In addition to city services (which the Mayor and Council can actually influence) our task force will look at the broader community. How welcome do people feel shopping downtown? In our schools and churches? Participating in sports and activities? These daily interactions become the foundation of a welcoming and inclusive
community. To that end, we are hosting a series of one-hour community conversations that can be attended on-line to discuss what makes a community feel welcoming, how inclusive are we, and how can we do better? A summary of what we learn will be included next fall in our final report to the mayor and City Council, along with the results of a community-wide survey, just now released. When challenges present themselves, sometimes people wonder if anyone is listening, is anyone ready to take action? The answer today in White Bear Lake is YES. We are ready to listen and gather suggestions for action. Our Welcoming and Inclusive Community Task Force will practice generous and supportive listening toward the development of a narrative with recommendations for how the city can further its commitment to inclusion, both in the short and long term. Please join the conversation! Go to whitebearlake.org/WE for more information. Members of the White Bear Lake Welcoming & Inclusive Community Task Force

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Help the Earth
Dear communities: I think we should help the Earth. All of the trash is hurting the animals. So we should pick up more trash. It fi lls the Earth with trash everywhere. If we recycle, more things can get reused and then we won’t have as much trash. So we should help the Earth. Ava Rasmussen, second grade White Bear Lake
Support clean energy
When it comes to a clean environment, it doesn’t matter what we look like or where we live, we all deserve clean air, clean water and clean soil to thrive. My faith calls me to undertake the stewardship of creation to the best of my ability, including limiting pollution as much as possible. Negotiations over Minnesota’s Environment and Natural Resources budget are at a standstill at the Minnesota Legislature. Initially, the Senate GOP demanded that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) be stripped of its constitutional authority to regulate pollution sources. Then, after public pushback, they demanded that the MPCA’s rule to make clean cars available to the public be delayed
Thanks from Evans Music
To the Press Publications folks and the White Bear Lake community: Thank you for the kind front-page attention you gave in last week’s Press to the Evans Music store and building transition event. We would also like to thank city representatives who were with us for that event and who have been constantly supportive throughout our 42 years—in many ways, they have been real facilitators of our longevity. City officials who were with us last week were Mayor Jo Emerson, City Manager Ellen Hiniker, Community Development Director Ann Kane, Housing and Economic Development Director Tracy Shimek and Building Official Ben Eggan. Sara Markoe Hansen, director of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society — always a great resource for us — also attended, as did former owners Gary and Susan Dupre and a number of our former staff and teachers. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the thousands of students, parents, teachers and staff, cus-
Rush Line positives
I live in Vadnais Heights and support the development of the Rush Line BRT Corridor. I like the plan because it will be helpful to those in the area of the 15-mile transit route. It will link people to jobs, school, medical appointments and shopping. So, I am always disappointed when I read other letters in this paper from White Bear residents who think their locality will only be affected negatively by the Rush Line. And they don't seem to support the other 19 stations on the route and the people it will help transit. As for the argument that the pandemic has reduced the need for mass transit, the article in the May 19 Star Tribune argued that “the pandemic has underscored the importance of transit in providing essential workers with a means to get to work and provide essential services.” Let's consider all of the aspects of this development. Sharon Guiser Vadnais Heights
Just the facts
Public schools in White Bear Lake have an average math proficiency score of 64% (Minnesota public schools average is 57.) White Bear Lake’s reading proficiency score of 64% exceeds the 60% statewide average. White Bear Lake Schools District’s average testing
ranking is 8/10, which is in the top 30% of the public schools in Minnesota. For the 2021 school year, there are 22 public schools serving 8,744 students – ISD 624 has one of the highest concentrations of topranked public schools in Minnesota. White Bear Lake Schools mission statement is to provide a high-quality educational experience for all learners. To accomplish this mission, they believe that a high-quality experience must: be in partnership with the community; take place in a safe, supportive and challenging environment; develop lifelong learners; allow each learner to reach full potential; and encourage each learner to be a contributing member of our global society. In this lasty year, our world, our country, and our state has endured through a global pandemic, racial injustice, political strife, economic woes, quarantining, and daily uncertainty. As a life-long White Bear resident, I’d like to thank Mr. Kazmierczak, the White Bear Lake school board, and every teacher and student for their effort to make this crazy world a better place to learn and live. Jim Brunzell, Jr. Vadnais Heights
Community deserves update
One of the shocking byproducts of the district’s racist email incident was the number of parents who came forward to say their child had also been bullied as a student in the White Bear Lake schools. Across schools and demographics, these families spoke out in person, and in social and traditional media to detail their child’s terrible
treatment in our schools. These families spoke about the district minimizing and dismissing the bullying of their children, instead of taking responsibility and putting an end to the abuse. The last reputable update to the racist emails incident appears to be on April 16 in Newsweek where our City Manager was quoted, saying that the matter was still being investigated and they had not yet determined if there was more than one culprit. On May 10, I asked the school board for an update. Specifically, had they identified all of the culprits and dealt with them in a way that was fair and meaningful to the victims? The head of the school board deferred to the superintendent, who responded that he could give no further information than what was currently available. This is not good enough. Given the district’s track record on dealing, or not dealing, with bullying, the community cannot and should not assume the district has dealt with this matter fully and effectively. We want to have confidence in our community leaders. We need them to be accountable for their actions. We rely on them to safeguard our children, our community and our reputation. District leadership, both the school board and superintendent, are falling short on this. I don’t care who sent the emails or what the punishment was. I care that the district completed a full investigation, identified all culprits, and truly did right by these victims. The community deserves an update from district leadership.

It’s time to call them what they are: Weapons of Mass Destruction. Their selfish refusal to be vaccinated enables the virus to continue its deadly march, leaving thousands of innocent victims in its wake. They should all be arrested and sentenced to perform public service at a hospital in India. Now it appears that their sacred beliefs and so-called convictions will quickly fade away when their “price” is paid. All along they have just been holding out for a free beer and pizza, or a lottery ticket. Extortion at its worst! Kris Brodie White Bear Lake
Just an FYI for dog owners who may not be aware: school grounds and private business properties, etc. are not off-leash dog parks and, according to the DNR, it is illegal to allow (much less encourage) your dog to chase wildlife. There's a large, fenced, off-leash dog park on the south end of Otter Lake where your pup can enjoy zoomies with other dogs and you can enjoy walking and chatting with other dog owners.

My heart broke when I saw the beautiful geranium at my parents’ grave was stolen. As I looked around Union Cemetery, it appeared many others were missing as well. I’m sad for all the families who are affected by the actions of the person who chose to do this. I will never understand the thought process that goes into a decision to violate others.

for two years. The Senate GOP has made it clear: they are willing to close state parks (and the Minnesota Zoo and Science Museum) and hold the state’s natural resources budget hostage just because the pollution control agency is trying to do its job. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and legislative Democrats have put forth common-sense climate and environmental solutions that are in line with what most Minnesotans want and support. Our GOP legislators are proving that they are willing to ignore the needs of average Minnesotans to make their corporate fossil fuel donors happy. This means that state parks like William O’Brien will be closed just when families are set to get outdoors and celebrate the Fourth of July. As a member of Wild Ones Native Landscaping, I have learned how detrimental pollution is to the web of life that we humans depend on for our very survival. We must stop poisoning the plants, insects, birds, fish and other creatures that we must preserve if we are to live. The climate crisis is here. We don’t have time for the political games Senate Republicans are playing. It’s time for the Senate majority to represent the majority of Minnesotans who support 100% Clean Energy. We know what it takes to change course for a flourishing planet and healthy Minnesota. And when our elected officials govern on behalf of the people, we’ll make the changes needed for all Minnesotans to thrive. Joseph Crowe White Bear Lake

Why should I use Direct Deposit?
For employers and workers alike, Direct Deposit delivers peace of mind. It is the fast, reliable, secure way to ensure payroll is processed automatically every pay period, ensuring workers have access to their money at the start of every payday. That’s why 94% of American workers receive their pay through Direct Deposit with near-universal satisfaction.

Employers benefit by knowing their workforce is taken care of and employees can rest easy knowing their money will be there for them. In challenging and uncertain economic times, workers can depend on Direct Deposit to deliver their pay like clockwork. Direct Deposit delivers so much more for workers.

Some employers offer Split Deposit, allowing individuals to automatically deposit a portion of their pay into savings or investment accounts every payday, helping to prepare for retirement, college expenses and more, without giving it much thought. It’s automatic and hassle-free.

T.J. McKenzie, pastor of the Church of St. Pius X. “Our hope is because of our belief in the real presence, that all of the residents in the neighborhood will have a true encounter with our risen Lord.” The Church of St. Pius X is a Catholic parish of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and located at 3878 Highland Avenue, White Bear Lake.
Recognize a hero on Donut Day In recognition of National Donut Day, Friday, June 4, the Twin Cities Salvation Army is seeking 1,000 volunteers to each deliver a box of donuts to an everyday hero of their choice, such as a first responder, health care worker, public servant, veteran, or just a kind neighbor—someone they’d like
to acknowledge and reward. The Salvation Army will provide the donuts for the reward and will also include a second box for the volunteer who makes the delivery. National Donut Day began in 1938 as a tribute to The Salvation Army’s “donut lassies”—a group of 250 women volunteers who helped serve American soldiers in France during World War I. Tasked with providing food and boosting the morale of servicemen on the front lines, these women would operate makeshift shelters to provide food and a place to rest. The favorite item was a doughy delicacy cooked in oil—often in a soldier’s helmet—and then dusted with sugar. The donut ladies are often credited with popularizing the donut in postwar America when the returning “doughboys” sought out these sweet treats. The first 1,000 volunteers wanting to deliver free donuts to a deserving individual or group on June 4 (and receive a box for themselves) can register at SalvationArmyNorth. org/free-donuts. Donuts can be picked up between 7-9 a.m. Friday, June 4, at one of four Twin Cities locations.

Last Union Soldier We are looking for the last Union Soldier buried in Ramsey County and we need the community’s help. The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) Last Soldier Project is a nationwide activity to locate and appropriately mark the final resting place of the last United States Soldier, Seaman, or Marine from the Civil War buried in each county/parish in the United States. Once located, the SUVCW will mark the veterans grave noting he was the last veteran buried in that county. For this ceremony we will invite other veterans and if we can identify descendants, we will invite them also. Identifying all final resting places of our Union soldiers is not easy, as there are numerous cemeteries in each county, some unlisted older cemeteries are by abandoned churches, and some are private such as on a family farm. While we are working with the White Bear Lake and Minnesota Historical Societies and other sources, we have identified 30 in Union Cemetery, 21 in Calvary, nine in St. John in the Wilderness Episcopal, six in St. Mary of the Lake, 11 in Elmhurst, four in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, one in Lakeview Cemetery and 174 in Oakland. If you are aware of a Union Soldier’s gravesite in Ramsey County that is not listed, please notify us by sending a letter or email to our Junior Vice Commander: Gary Carlberg, 4733 Carolyn Lane, White Bear Lake, MN 55110-3132 or gary.carlberg@ hotmail.com.

Klobuchar introduces legislation to bolster local journalism U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Michael Bennet (D-Colorado) and U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) have reintroduced the Future of Local News Act, legislation to rescue the struggling local news industry. Local news organizations play a vital role in American democracy, but an industrywide transition to digital media and the pandemic’s impacts on the economy have led to a rapid decline of the local news industry. The Future of Local News Act would create a committee to study the state of local journalism and offer recommendations to Congress on the actions it can take to support local news organizations. “As thousands of media outlets have been forced out of business, too many small towns and rural communities have become ‘news deserts’ without access to local news,” said Sen. Klobuchar. “As the daughter of a newspaperman, I understand that a free press is vital to our system of government. The Future of Local News Act would help ensure that we preserve the newspapers, radio stations, and broadcasters that keep their communities informed.” “Families rely on local journalists to report on the stories that matter most to their communities. From the pandemic response to school boards to how tax dollars are spent, local news outlets provide essential information and perform an irreplaceable public service,” said Sen. Schatz. “Our bill will help strengthen local news and keep the industry afloat during this tough time.”
“As thousands of media outlets have been forced out of business, too many small towns and rural communities have become ‘news deserts’ without access to local news. As the daughter of a newspaperman, I understand that a free press is vital to our system of government. The Future of Local News Act would help ensure that we preserve the newspapers, radio stations, and broadcasters that keep their communities informed.” Amy Klobuchar United States Senator, Minnesota “Across America, local newsrooms have been pushed to the brink by a confluence of forces – from industry consolidation to the migration to digital, to the rise of social media and the COVID-19 crisis,” said
Sen. Bennet. “Local reporting that engages citizens, shapes communities, and holds local governments accountable is foundational to our democracy, and I’m concerned that if we do not take action soon, we could be headed for an America without local news. I hope this legislation will help us find common-sense, nonpartisan solutions to support local journalism while preserving the independence vital to the free press.” As more news consumption moves online, the advertising-based business model that sustained local print journalism has collapsed. According to a report by PEN America, more than 2,100 local newspapers have shuttered in the last 15 years. Many of those that haven’t closed have been bought by hedge funds, subjected to relentless cost-cutting measures and seen their newsrooms shrunk by nearly half. The pandemic and resulting recession have only accelerated these trends. Klobuchar is a vocal advocate for local journalism. In March, she and Sen. John Kennedy (R-Louisiana) reintroduced the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act to allow news publishers to collectively negotiate with digital platforms such as Google and Facebook. This legislation would empower news publishers to compete more fairly by granting them immunity from federal and state antitrust laws for 48 months while they negotiate together with digital platforms.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Posts to improve safety on Highway 96 The Minnesota Department of Transportation will install flexible posts May 26 along the edge line on both sides of Highway 96 between Pacific Avenue and Portland Avenue in White Bear Lake. The posts will improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists who use the shoulder along the highway on the north side of White Bear Lake by clearly marking the shoulder of the roadway for motorists. MnDOT has received numerous complaints from bicyclists and pedestrians who cross Highway 96 at key intersections. Those safety concerns include speeds on Highway 96 and motorists who pass on the narrow shoulders in the area. There will be periodic breaks in the line of posts to provide areas for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross the road.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Repeat burglars caught on surveillance camera, later on roof A Plymouth man, 29, faces up to 10 years in prison and/or a maximum $20,000 fine for second-degree burglary and possessing tools of the trade, plus an additional maximum five years in prison and/or maximum $10,000 fine for third-degree theft. At around 3:30 a.m. May 14, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched on a burglary alarm at a business at 4875 Constellation Drive in White Bear Township. On scene, deputies observed a construction trailer with a white sedan next to it. The sedan’s hood was still warm to the touch. Deputies also found a door with a damaged lock and burglary tools on the ground next to it. Deputies then cleared the building using a K-9 officer. A business key holder reviewed surveillance video and told deputies that two men had entered the building, exited and entered through another door. The door the men entered the second time had a roof access. One of the burglars was shown wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, the other wore a black hooded sweatshirt with white sleeves. Deputies reportedly found both burglars on the roof, dressed as indicated on the surveillance video. The suspect, wearing the white shirt and blue jeans, was found hiding beneath an air conditioner unit. A roof air handler unit was damaged and had pry marks. A flashlight, hammer, chisel and $1,500
Metabo hammer drill were also found on the roof. Surveillance footage and pry marks all over the outside of the building indicated that the burglars entered the building, stole the tools deputies found on the roof and gouged at various access points with the ultimate goal of entering the main business area of the building. The accomplice told deputies they were inside, then on the roof because they were homeless. He repeatedly tried to get the suspect’s attention to tell him what to say. Despite surveillance video showing the two clearly inside the building stealing items, the two burglars changed their story several times, insisting they didn’t steal anything and were just two “f---ing knuckleheads doing dumb sh-- —that’s it!” The suspect had just been sentenced in Ramsey County District Court on April 30 for second-degree burglary after he broke into a school and for third-degree burglary after he broke into a spa. He received agreed-upon departures in both cases. He has a long list of felony convictions, including burglary, fleeing police in a motor vehicle and felony possession of a firearm. His accomplice has seven prior felony convictions for theft and burglary in the first degree, burglary in the third degree and four predatory offender registration violations. He was also just released from the Minnesota Department of Corrections on Dec. 21.

All in favor of reduced speed limits, raise your right foot BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — It would behoove motorists within Mahtomedi city limits to keep a close eye on speed limit signs and a light foot on their gas pedals. The Mahtomedi City Council at its May 18 meeting approved two resolutions adopting speed limit changes throughout the city. The new speed limits are anticipated to be in effect beginning in July. The changes include a 20 mph speed limit on all residential streets and a speed limit reduction on arteries and connector streets that usually have a higher speed limit of 25 mph or 30 mph. In 2019, the Minnesota state Legislature gave cities the authority to adopt their own speed limit policies on residential roadways within city jurisdictions, said Chuck Rickart, principal transportation engineer for WSB. In December 2020, the city discussed safety improvement projects and speed limit policies based on state statutes. According to Minnesota Statute Section 169.14, the maximum statutory speed limit for local residential roadways is 25 mph. A local residential street has a total length of up to but not exceeding a half-mile, is not a collector or arterial road, and is in an area zoned exclusively for housing. A city may set a speed limit on its residential streets lower than 25 mph without conducting a study. Nevertheless, council authorized the preparation of a traffic and safety analysis that determined the appropriate speed limit on local
CARTER JOHNSON | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
city streets to be 20 mph on all local minor streets, and 25 mph on local major streets (collector and arterial streets). According to a community survey performed this year, 74% of respondents supported lowering the speed limits on neighborhood streets. After approving the speed limit policy and resolution adopting reduced speed limits on local roadways, the city is now required to prepare an implementation signing plan and install new “citywide unless otherwise posted” speed limit signs at select locations throughout the city and on local collector and arterial streets adjacent to the residential zones. The speed limit signs would affect only the local roadways on which the city has jurisdiction,
not state trunk highways or county roads. In other words, motorists are entitled to be fully warned about speed reductions on residential streets. The city isn't required to post a speed limit sign on every street, but rather at the beginning of that segment of road, Rickart said. The city must also prepare a communication plan to inform the community about the speed limit changes and that lowering speed limits will create safer roadways for both vehicles and pedestrians. At a minimum, the communications must be seen in articles and maps in the city newsletter, social media posts, press releases, community events and announcements at city meetings.
LET US CATER
Motorists won't be able to say they weren't warned. Speed limits throughout Mahtomedi on all local minor streets are now 20 mph (not the maximum allowable 25 mph). Speed limits throughout Mahtomedi on all local major streets (collector and arterial streets) are now 25 mph. These streets include: Quail Street from Briarwood Avenue to the border with Dellwood; Briarwood Avenue from Dwinnell Avenue to Hallam Avenue; Hallam Avenue from Briarwood Avenue to Juniper Street; Maple Street from Mahtomedi Avenue to Hallam Street; Hickory Street from Mahtomedi Avenue to the Grant border; Warner Avenue from Maple Street to the Pine Springs border south of Bevins Lane; East Avenue from Hickory Street to Stillwater Road; Hallam Avenue from Stillwater Road to 72nd Street; 72nd Street from Hilton Trail to Warner Avenue; Lincolntown Avenue from Long Lake Road to CSAH 12 (Wildwood Road) and Wedgewood Drive from CSAH 12 (Wildwood Road) to the White Bear Lake border at Riviera Drive. Two notable exceptions are the 20 mph speed limit on Quail Street from Mahtomedi Avenue to Briarwood Avenue and the 20 mph speed limit on Long Lake Road from Lincolntown Avenue to Echo Lake Avenue. The speed limit on Long Lake Road from Echo Lake Avenue to Highway 120 will remain at 30 mph.

OBITUARY NOTICES
Bernice Margaret (Driscoll) Foote
Dale Eugene Spychalla
Celebration of Bernice Margaret (Driscoll) Foote’s life. If you believe in the phrase “life is what we make of it,” Mom, Granny, Gram, Big Gramma, Great Gramma, Aunt Bert, Auntie Bernice, Bernice, Bernie made life greater for all she came in contact with. Regardless of what name you knew her by, I’m sure that we can all agree that held within that 4’9” stature was a bigger than life heart ready to help others at the drop of a hat. Her favorite statements were: “what can I bring,” and, “what can I do.” Mom, Granny, Gram, Big Gramma, Great Gramma enjoyed life to the fullest, always putting family first. At her family dinners, she loved to laugh and often would try to tell jokes. Yet, when telling them always started laughing so hard before the punch line that they were seldom finished. She rarely would spend a dime on herself yet, would think nothing of cooking a meal fit for a king for family and friends, often for as many as 30 people. Many of you know that she worked at Bel Aire Drug for over 30-years, and she truly enjoyed the customers and friends that she gained throughout that period of her life. Mom, Granny, Gram, Big Gramma, Great Gramma, Aunt Bert, Auntie Bernice, Bernice, Bernie was kind to the core, respectful to all, and the word “NO” was not in her vocabulary. She would have been 95 on July 1st, which is the day that her Celebration of Life will occur. So rather than shedding a tear, raise a glass of Baileys or beer for this toast: “May your heart be light and happy, may your smile be big and wide, and may your pockets always have a coin or two inside.” IRISH PROVERB This wonderful woman, who saved cookie tins to be filled with family favorites, was preceded in death by her parents, Mathew and Theresa Driscoll; brothers, infant Arthur, twin brother Bernard, and Edward; greatgranddaughter, Lauren Brooke Gefre. Survived by children, Lonnice (Larry) Thompson, Veronica (Bruce) Simpson, and Dan (Sue) Foote; five grandchildren, two step-grandchildren, ten greatgrandchildren, six step-great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews, friends and relatives. A Celebration of Life will be held on July 1st at 11:00am with a Visitation beginning at 10am at BRADSHAW, 4600 Greenhaven Drive, White Bear, MN.
“Dedicated To Tho e We Serve”
Sandberg Funeral & Cremation Service Since Family Serving Yours You Since 19421942 Our Our Family Serving
Dale Eugene Spychalla, 69, (formerly of Mahtomedi, MN) passed away due to Covid complications on November 18th, 2020, in Southaven, MS. A Celebration of Life in honor of Dale will be held on Saturday, June 12, 2021 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm at his daughter’s farm, April Shortess, located at 1046 ½ Street, Turtle Lake, WI 54889. Dale was born on August 17, 1951, in St. Paul, MN. He was the son of the late Dominic and Ethel Spychalla (Dick) of Mahtomedi, MN. Dale is preceded in death by brothers; Dominic and Dennis, sisters; Jean, Jo Marie and his first wife Mary Rosetta Spychalla (Erickson) the mother of his children. Dale is survived by his wife, Debra Spychalla of Knoxville, TN; two daughters, April Shortess (Ryan), Tara Spychalla-Wilson, and one son, Dale F. Spychalla all residing in Turtle Lake, WI. Nine grandchildren; Ashley Schmitt (Paul), Alec Rohl (Megan), Paige Spychalla, Alexandra Shortess, Tyler Wilson, Ryan Shortess Jr., Keyra Spychalla, Joe Spychalla and Mary Spychalla. Three great-grandchildren; Abel, Grayden and Oliver Schmitt. One brother Dan Spychalla (Rosemary), and two sisters Joyce Masterson and Julie Kaiser. Dale was raised in Mahtomedi, MN and enjoyed a variety of outdoor activities. As a child he worked for
his father at their family owned business, Don’s Auto Parts, at their home, prior to the business moving to Willernie, MN. Dale loved to scrap old cars and enjoyed sending the kids into the dumpster to get that one special treasure! Dale also worked for Boring Incorporated for many years, prior to his injury in 1983. After his injury Dale, “Magic”, worked at John’s Auto Parts for many years until he retired in 2000. Dale loved to fish and enjoyed the family trips to Canada to catch the big walleye. During his marriage with Sandy, Dale and the family sold their home in White Bear Lake, MN and moved to Turtle Lake, WI in 1987, where they then enjoyed the lake life on Upper Turtle. Dale and the family enjoyed spending time away up at the ‘swamp’ in Northern MN, taking family vacations and especially enjoyed the fishing trips to Alaska. He had a passion for dirt track racing. In the early days, number 36 was sure to be on the track in Stillwater, MN every weekend. His love for racing continued throughout his life as a sponsor for the numbers 13 & 132 at Cedar Lake Speedway and Kopellah Speedway. In his later years, Dale enjoyed watching wrestling in his free time with his wife and friends, and scrapping with Dwight Clardy. Dale was one of a kind! He will be truly missed by his family and friends.

Weather tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com
Celebrations Nicole & Adam
Remember your dad this year by placing a note and picture (if you wish) to honor your dad.
A week ago we were in the midst of a three and a half week “drought,” but that quickly changed with a couple of overnight rains. Most notably during the early morning hours of May 19 and 21 when totaled nearly 2 inches. It was a good soaking. This past weekend worked out pretty well also. Saturday was hot and steamy with many people turning on their A/C. A cold front came through on Sunday and took away the heat and humidity. Nature Notes: My front bushes provided a quiet resting spot for a newly born fawn over the weekend and I spotted my first monarch.

White Bear Lake names new hoops coach BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Camden O’Malley, White Bear Lake sophomore golfer, was champion of the 15-team White Bear Lake Invitational on May 17, shooting 73 at Dellwood Country Club. O’Malley, 5-foot-7 and 140 pounds, is averaging 78 strokes. In conference, he averaged 80, made all-conference, and helped the Bears place runner-up. He was a state qualifier in eighth grade. “Camden expects to hit the perfect shot every time,” said coach Craig Nasvik. “He has extremely soft hands around the green. He is an exceptional putter and navigates with course management in mind.”

losophy aligns with the White Bear Lake Area High Schools community,” said Peloquin. “Greg believes that the values learned from participating in education-based athletics allow student athletes to grow as people.” Burke, who lives in Plymouth, plans to have a parents’ meeting soon and will start summer workouts with the team in early June. He complimented Lockwood for getting “a good foundation in place” that he’ll take over and run with. His first Bear squad will be led by a pair of juniors who were starters as sophomores this year, Jack Janicki (two-time all-conference already) and Jack Misgen.

Greg Burke, who led championship teams in high school, played college basketball and has been schooled by high-level mentors, is the new boys basketball coach at White Bear Lake. Burke, a counselor in the district since 2012, was announced by Brian Peloquin, activities director, last Wednesday as successor to Keith Lockwood, who recently resigned after 16 seasons.
captain and two-time defensive player of the year. He was a head coach for three years at tiny Maranatha Academy in Superior and took them to the state tournament one year. “We had 40 students. We were the smallest school in all the classes to make it to state,” he said. After that, Burke was an assistant at UW-Superior for 10 seasons and at Osseo High School from 2005-19. He was part of one state champion team at Osseo. In Toronto, an early mentor was Mitch Wiggins, a former NBA player and father of Andrew Wiggins, who played for the Timberwolves for six seasons and is now with the Golden State Warriors. “Mitch used to work me out,” said Burke. When the whole Wiggins family moved to Minnesota, Burke re-connected with them. “I always got good seats at Timberwolves games,” he said. Burke has worked as a clinician for Tubby Smith Basketball Camps for over 10 years. Smith had an NCAA champion team at Kentucky and coached the Minnesota Gophers for six years. “I went to the Final Four every year when I was coaching at Superior,” Burke said. “That’s where I met Tubby. I learned a lot from him.” Asked about his own philosophy, he summed up, “Defense first, and share the ball on offense.” “Greg brings a copious amount of coaching experience with him but, more importantly, his coaching phi-
“I wasn’t really looking for a coaching job at this time but sometimes life just presents you with an opportunity,” said Burke. “I think the (Bears) program has some good potential, and I’m excited to get started.” Burke grew up in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and was the point guard on two championship teams with Runnymede Collegiate High School. He played collegiately at McCook Community College in Nebraska and University of Wisconsin-Superior, where he was team

The next 10 got honorable mention and four were Bears: Healy (81) and seniors Joe Frattalone (82), Torin Larson (83) and Lleyton Roed (83). In the 15-team WBL Invitational, O’Malley medaled with 73 on Monday at Dellwood. Top three teams were Mahtomedi 318, Hudson (WI) 321 and the Bears 323. Coach Craig Nasvik said it’s been a season of “re-connecting” and striving for consistency after the lost year of 2020. The team was always looking for a fourth solid score, he said, and multiple players stepped up to provide it. Another notable achievement this season was an ace by senior Andrew Larson in a junior varsity meet at Forest Hills, on the 146-yard 13th hole. Next for the Bears, who are averaging 318 strokes per 18 holes, is Section 4AAA on June 2 and 4 at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids. “Two years ago we sent four golfers to state,” Nasvik said. “This year we want to make it as a team.”
Mahtomedi baseball picked up conference wins on the road last week over North St. Paul 8-7 and Tartan 8-3, then won 2-0 over Hudson at home. Tony Neubeck went 7-for-11 at the plate and pitched a shutout. The Zephyrs finished 11-4 in the Metro East while Hill-Murray finished 12-4. Zephyr coach Rob Garry said the Zephyrs will get credit for a share of the title. They had a game canceled last week due to a Covid issue at South St. Paul. Luke Loughlin pitched against Tartan, striking out eight. Neubeck was 2-for-4 (double, two RBI’s). Jordan Hull had a single and two RBI’s. Against North, Neubeck was 3-for-4 (triple, RBI), Ethan Loss 3-for-3 (triple, RBI, three runs) and Hull 2-for-3 (two runs.) Neubeck blanked Hudson 2-0 Saturday with a three-hitter and eight strikeouts while going 2-for-3 (double, RBI). Kyle Oswald singled home the other run. Loss and Josh Donna had two hits each. The Zephyrs (12-5 overall) will play at Mankato West on Thursday, then start Section 4AAA on June 1.
