Also noted in the update, MDH collected samples in March from three White Bear Township municipal wells that are closest to Water Gremlin. No 1,4-dioxane was detected in any of the wells. The Environmental Protection Agency classifies 1,4-dioxane as a "likely human carcinogen." Low-level exposure to 1,4-dioxane over a person’s lifetime can increase the risk of cancer, according to the MDH website. Higher exposures over a shorter amount of time can damage cells in the liver, kidney and respiratory system. The chemical is used as a stabilizer for chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethane and trichloroethylene and can be an unintended contaminant of chemical ingredients used in consumer products like bubble bath, shampoo, laundry detergent, soap, skin cleanser, adhesives and antifreeze.

of Water Gremlin and along Goose Lake Road. Additional private wells in other locations around the plant may also be sampled as needed once the priority sampling is completed. Water Gremlin’s environmental consultant, Wenck, will be sending letters in June to about 100 residents recommended by MPCA and MDH for water sampling if wells are present and in use. Anyone receiving this letter is asked to provide the information requested and, if applicable, allow the collection of a water sample. MPCA and MDH will review the water sampling test results and determine if any additional action is necessary. The agencies will also determine if any additional wells need to be sampled based on testing results. MPCA will receive test results directly from the laboratory.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — A chemical associated with TCE (trichloroethylene) was found in a few private wells near Water Gremlin, but the levels are below the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) drinking water guidance value. Levels of 1,4-dioxane, however, were found at levels greater than those guidance values in shallow groundwater on Water Gremlin property. "The chemical is commonly found where we find TCE," noted Jim Kelly, director of the environmental health division. "That led us to look for 1,4-dioxane in private wells in the neighborhood around the plant." Water samples were collected from 11 private wells in late January and early February; three had detectable levels of 1,4-dioxane. The concentrations found were between 0.06 and 0.12 parts per billion (ppb), significantly less than the 1 ppb health-based drinking water guidance value. The findings were reported in a joint update last week by MDH and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). As next steps, MPCA and MDH have recommendations for locations where private wells either need to be sampled or confirmed not in use. Priority areas are where 1,4-dioxane was detected, immediately south and west

Birchwood couple still stuck in Africa Every time Bob and Nancy Brydges think they have a flight out of Nairobi, Kenya, they’re told the airport is closed. “Hopes were dashed with the news the airport would not open for our May 22 flight. A possibility of sometime in June is now our hope,” wrote the homesick couple in a mid-May update to family and friends. Her favorite book for 2019 was “Cure for the Common Life” by Max Lucado, Nancy said. She points out there is nothing “common” about what they are experiencing and seeing in the lives of Kenyans because of the “uncommon” virus.
Corruption is rampant: government aid disappears into politician’s pockets. “Somehow the 1.3 billion shillings donated to fight the virus has disappeared,” they wrote. No one or area has received any money, so the poor are getting poorer. “Another ‘common’ overlooked evil going on as Kenya fights COVID-19 is child marriage and female genital mutilation,” continued Nancy. “In the Daily Nation (newspaper) comes this quote, ‘Now that all the common areas in the villages are out of bounds, we have less accountability. Also, the restriction on market days may motivate many fathers to marry off their young daughters, whom they view as a source of income.’”
According to the couple, to be a human rights activist or defender is dangerous. “They commonly disappear or have an accident. Three have disappeared this past week. They were campaigning against police killings.” Disappointment is becoming a “common” reaction for the couple as their flights are canceled. Nancy said she missed not being home for Mother’s Day and receiving her annual gift of Dragon Wing Begonias. The couple look forward to sending an update from “the good old U.S.A. and their ‘common’ life’” in Birchwood. Debra Neutkens

Family campfire and s’mores
ue to supply chain challenges, grocery stores have had to put limits on various food and cleaning supplies a customer can buy per visit. Examples include disinfectant, wipes, hand sanitizer, chicken, ground beef and eggs. We recently found marshmallows limited to one bag. I imagine this is a result of an uptick in family campfires during the stay at home order. Like many, our family has been perfecting our s’more making skills. We Publisher’s all have a different chocolate to marshmallow ratio, and we’ve View added some embellishments. daughter shoves an extra Carter Johnson My piece of chocolate inside the marshmallow before roasting it. My son was with a friend who adds a caramel to the end of the stick. Put the marshmallow on first, then a caramel square. Roast it, and when you pull it off the caramel ends up inside the marshmallow. Friends have also introduced us to putting a marshmallow in between two chocolate-covered graham crackers, thereby saving a step and replacing the piece of chocolate bar with a peanut butter cup or a filled Ghiardelli chocolate square. There is no better time than now to test traditions and make new ones with your family. As always with backyard campfires please refer to your city or township codes. Most allow up to a 3-foot fire ring. Remember to burn only clean, dry lumber. Treated or painted wood and plastic in a fire can risk toxic chemicals getting on your s’more. Don’t burn wet, rotten leaves or sticks that could smoke out the neighbors and remember a few campfire stories. Gift Card Winner Congratulations to Duane and Denise Carlson on being the spring subscriber campaign winners of $250 gift cards that were purchased from our marketing customers. Thank you to all of our new and renewing subscribers. This spring the community came out to support us with our subscriber campaign and our support local journalism campaign. As we bring our spring campaign to close we are only 70 subscribers away from our goal. It’s never too late to consider supporting your local newspaper. Wear your masks I have been able to make it two months rotating the four masks I have. I finally had to toss one because it was dirty and smelled from bad breath. I keep a couple of masks in my car, at the office and at home. It’s key for all of us to wear a mask any time we are out in public, in offices, shopping or around other people. I’ll admit, I still feel awkward wearing one, and keeping it up over your nose is tough. However, I want our local businesses to open up and things to go back to normal as much as anyone, and I believe social distancing and wearing a mask are critical steps we all need to follow to ensure we are safe and the momentum to reopen continues. The experts tell us this is the way to minimize and prevent transmission of the respiratory virus, which is also common sense. Our family has been shopping and picked up take-out at numerous local establishments. I always wear a mask when I interact with the employees of those establishments, and I appreciate that the majority of them do, too. Many stores are now requiring masks. On the few occasions the person at the check-out counter or handing me my food wasn’t wearing a mask, I was uncomfortable and annoyed. As they open up, businesses should enforce social distancing, maskwearing and hand-washing rules with their employees as well as customers. We all need to do our part, follow the recommendations and err on the side of caution. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications. Distributed weekly in:

Growing your own food has never made more sense
V
ictory Gardens used to be a sign of national patriotism back in the days between World War I and World War II. Vegetable gardens could be found in over half of American’s lawns, providing 40% of our country’s produce during those years. Even schools had gardens, which I am happy to say was already well on its way to making a comeback. While we may not be ready to reach for those numbers, growing a few of your favorites at home makes more sense Modern now than ever. Victory Today’s victory gardens are focusGardens ing more on high Michelle Bruhn price or quick to spoil produce that makes the growing a pleasure with an obvious reward; less money spent, less trips to the store. Let’s talk about the basics to digging and planting a successful vegetable garden: • Plant what you will eat • Plant it in the sun, hopefully near water • Fence around it to avoid
critter damage • Add some compost, good soil matters • Grow vertically to make the most of your space • Start small Consider planting a few fast-growing crops like salad greens and more expensive herb plants, which are also the things that you need to keep going to a store to keep buying ‘fresh’. Lettuces, beets, radishes and kale are all ready to harvest in 45 days. Bush beans are another crop that is ready in 60 days, and beans are truly one of the easiest plants to grow. Or try something like cucumbers that most families love — and if you get too many, quick refrigerator pickles keep well and can be tweaked to just your family’s taste buds. Late May is the perfect time to dig into gardening. You can start seeds in the garden, as the soil is warm enough and transplanting started plants is safe now as well, as we are past the typical last frost date (May 15) for our area of Minnesota. • Read seed packet for the plant’s height when planning where to place plants. You want the taller plants on the north side of the garden so they don’t shade out shorter sun loving plants.
• The information about ‘days to maturity’ will also be on seed packets, this can guide you in purchasing plants that will be ready sooner or later, or both to have a continuous harvest of one crop. • Hardening off plants that come from nurseries will help them acclimate better and then produce more. Give plants successively more time outside for a few days to minimize transplant shock. • Use the entire growing season (typically 160 days). Even in Minnesota we can keep growing into November if we pick cold hardy crops. Another reason to pay attention to days to maturity. Succession planting makes the most of your space by planting and early spring and a late fall crop in the same place. Right now, with so many things out of our control, gardening is one way to watch progress grow in front of our eyes. Keep in mind that plants want to grow — if you give them soil, sun, water and protection from animals the plants will reward you well.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
It seems many people in White Bear think our City Council should seriously consider lowering speed limits on residential streets. Minneapolis and St. Paul recently lowered their limits to 20 and 25 mph and numerous others, including White Bear Township, have posted limits of 25 mph. There are all kinds of safety statistics that confirm excessive speed causes more accidents. Frankly, in any neighborhood one auto-caused injury to anyone, especially a child or elderly person, is too many. And we have had several such accidents in our community. Check your normal driving speed while driving on your neighborhood streets. I was surprised when I did this and realized that I instinctively drive 15-20 mph tops and 30 feels like I’m flying and out of control. We have had to act differently during the last several months, and that has required us to rethink the way some things are done. In this regard I think it’s time to consider lowering our city speed limits. If you agree please contact your council member. Wayne Grundstrom White Bear Lake
Meeting and reporting misleading
I love our White Bear Press. And I agree with Vadnais Heights Council Member Urban that if Walmart is open, similar small businesses should have been open. But I’m disappointed in the Press and council for inaccurate and misleading statements in the May 13 Press lead story headline: “Governor urged to reopen Minnesota.” Last I looked, Minnesota has been open. As of June 1, even more. Our governor has not been “moving the goalposts” as a May 20 letter suggests. Rather, he has been transparent, consistently telling us — and following through — on his commitment to make data-driven decisions. Throughout the crisis people have been getting gas, shopping for groceries, picking up dinner, buying booze, visiting friends and family — and now playing golf, going fishing and camping, and eating outdoors. Are some places still closed and large gatherings not allowed? Of course. But over 90,000 are dead; health experts warn hasty retraction of stay at home orders would be disastrous. The Vadnais Heights City Council and the Press misstated Walz’s April 13 announcement on testing. Both claimed he said the state would “reopen upon testing capability of 5,000 tests per day.” They left out the rest of that promise, which read, “5,000 tests per day. And a robust ability to trace infections and isolate those carrying the virus.” I hope the Press and council misstatements were unintentional. The full statement was easily found on numerous sites with a Google search.
Mr. Urban and the Vadnais Heights resolution lose credibility when considering Urban’s attendance at a “Liberate Minnesota” rally. Photos reveal participants’ total disregard for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines that the resolution and Urban suggest Minnesotans would voluntarily follow if the governor would retract his orders. The photo also featured a sign: “I don’t need permission to live.” Really? Protestors carried guns. All drove home in cars to eat the meal of their choice. Seems they are living better than most in this world. Should governments ever place restrictions on citizens? It’s not as if governments were instituted for the protection and safety of the people, right? Screw you, John Adams. George Kimball White Bear Lake
Silver lining to quarantine
I am currently a junior at White Bear Lake High School, a couple of weeks from being a senior. Although this is nothing new, distance learning and a quarantine period are now staples of life for students like me. It comes with pros and cons, some of the pros being less obvious than the cons. Quarantine has been given a bad rap, and I am not sure why. On the school side of things, distance learning is not all that bad. It gives students an opportunity to be their own time managers, which can backfire on some procrastinators or less motivated students, but in general, gives students more flexibility. This flexibility is a large pro given that every student is not the same and has a different schedule. In fact, I almost feel a camaraderie growing from this distance learning in which school may be changed forever. The workload is lessened, for the distressing of students, which helped gain proponents of distance learning among my peers. In the end, this distance learning period which has been Guinea-pigged on students and teachers this spring may be a mere prototype of what school will look like in the coming years. I am not going to be surprised when classes have more instruction online, virtual meetings and more technology-based learning in general. Following the school side of quarantine is the life side. Believe me, life has changed dramatically for me. It was a little tough at first, but I found a secret. Find the silver lining in this situation. Enjoy the outdoors. Enjoy your family. Find the little things that please you. Personally, I have found an inner light in walking my dog, Marino. It does not have to be anything big. It is just a small little thing I incorporate into my day to make it better. That is the key to happiness, even in the darkness of quarantine and social distancing. And there you have it, my ode to surviving Corona in a nutshell. Kolby Bachmeier White Bear Lake

Fresh perspective running for local seat
In our current climate of unprecedented events, we need unification now more than ever. I believe that this starts at a local level, and there is no better person to bring together our incredible residents than Elliott Engen, who is running for state representative, District 38B. Elliott’s integrity runs deep, and he shows it over and over again with his volunteerism, his activism and his devotion to push for change for the betterment of the community that he cares for so passionately. He has expressed that true change cannot come from the agenda of those that line the coffers of government officals, but with honest, hard work. He plans to do that with the transparency and accountability that is often lacking in our government. Instead of wasteful, needless spending, his plans of putting our tax dollars into the community that we love, he’s putting the economic health of our beloved local businesses and all constituents first and foremost. I believe that he can do this in a responsible manner and weed out the unnecessary programs and regulations that weigh down our already highly taxed community. With a fresh perspective and imitable reverence for our country, Elliott Engen will be the voice and action of positive change that is needed for our district. Alyssa Kephart White Bear Lake
Teens not social distancing
We love Cup and Cone. On the second evening of Cup and Cone’s full opening, I donned my mask and headed for the back of the line, hoping to enjoy a rite of spring. I was dismayed to find a large crowd with no social distancing going on, and I was the only one in that mass of people with a mask. Large groups of teens were hanging out and giving me snickers and looks of disdain. I left. Up until then I had felt that we Minnesotans were all in this together. Even though many people still didn’t wear masks, many people did. People were courteous and tried to maintain distance, and local stores I visited were using proper precautions. It made me sad to imagine that might be in the past. What disturbed me most is that my grandchildren will see these crowds of teens hanging out together, but their parents won’t be allowing that. Up until now, they have been quite mature in their acceptance of social distancing, online learning, missing their friends. Now their parents will have a larger burden by insisting they can’t do what it seems like the other kids can. Mary Alice Divine White Bear Lake

Loon Chronicles V: Here we go again!
• Mi�gate market vola�lity
What started out with so much promise, ended up a total wash. This year, it appeared that everything was falling into place and ahead of schedule for the Loons. They took their time and built a much stronger nest, laid the eggs three weeks ahead of schedule, and took turns tending the nest with care. We added a third Loon Nesting buoy and that seemed to help direct traffic away from the nesting pair. One morning, we found both Loons sound asleep; one on the nest and the other, only a few feet away. An oasis of tranquility, but not for long. Last weekend’s torrential downpour changed everything. The photo in the center frame was taken one day before the deluge. The photo beneath the center frame shows what remained of the nest on Sunday morning; total decimation. The good news is that there is still plenty of time to try again. We have spotted the Loon pair swimming together in the same area. Anne Sundal added fresh vegetation to the manmade nest, which is only a few feet east of the washed out nest. The bulrushes in the area were full of surprises last week, including a Heron that made a crash landing and started swimming and rowing with its wings. A few Canada geese, with goslings in tow, also made an appearance. The muskrat family has moved on to the War Zone. All in all, a pretty nice place to take up residence for a 28 day stay. Stay tuned.

COPING WITH ASSAULT: ‘You are not alone’ FROM PAGE 1
Aftermath Jane was not able to tell her family or friends about the assault for well over a month after it happened. Anxiety and depression set in and she decided she needed to reach out to her primary physician. “I remember driving in my car — I was going to meet with a client for work — when the doctor called for my appointment, and I just vomited everything that happened out to her. She was the first person I told,” she said. “She was super kind, she told me how sorry she was and that it wasn’t my fault.” Jane began seeing a therapist and psychiatrist in July 2015. After only three appointments with her therapist, she stopped going to appointments because she found she just wasn’t ready to talk about it. Moore said, “The more that we don’t deal with those things, the harder it is when you start to actually address them.” It took Jane two years to work up the courage to see a therapist again. This time, she saw a trauma therapist. “That is a really big turning point for the healing process for victims, to realize that it is not their fault,” Moore explained. “I think our society reinforces victim blaming. It is built into our society that somehow the victim of these crimes somehow had some responsibility in it.” Jane was diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), which is caused by repeated trauma over months or years, rather than a single event. Jane disclosed that she was also abused and neglected as a child. “It (the assault) affects my everyday life greatly. I don’t have a break from it ever, but that is normal when you are going through trauma therapy and you are working on it,” Jane said. “I have flashbacks every day, and I relive the event several times a day.” Five years after the assault, Jane has night terrors and trouble sleeping. She is on a handful of medications, doesn’t go to bars, is cautious of her surroundings and cannot go outside at night. She is still not able to talk about the assault in detail with her friends. She has been in a relationship with her partner of almost five years and requires very strict boundaries. “Luckily, I have a very understanding partner who respects me on that.”
“There is help out there, and you are not Advice alone.

LYME DISEASE: On the upswing
RESOURCES ON LYME DISEASE There are many resources for Lyme disease. One is the Minnesota Lyme Association, which meets the second Tuesday of the month (under normal times) at the School District Center in White Bear Lake. The group’s website, mnlyme.org, contains links to state and federal health groups, videos of credentialed speakers and case studies and support materials for people affected by Lyme and other tickborne diseases. There are also prevention tips to avoid a tick bite with DEET repellent and permethrin. If you find a tick, the Minnesota Lyme Association advises placing it in a small vial or sealable bag with a damp towel so it doesn’t dry out. For a cost of $50, a comprehensive report is available that provides a list of disease-causing microbes the tick may be carrying. To learn more, visit tickreport.com. The Twin Cities Lyme Foundation is another local resource. The foundation has a comprehensive online assessment tool to help determine a Lyme diagnosis. See twincitieslyme.org.

The White Bear Lake practitioner spent last fall in Germany working with a top Lyme doctor who has pioneered a new test for Lyme. Otten is using the cutting-edge test, called EliSpot, through Infectolab in Oakdale. The lab was founded by the German doctor Otten worked with, Dr. Carsten Nicolaus, CEO, who realized the growing problem with tickborne diseases in the United States and saw the need for advanced diagnostic tools. They also test for COVID-19. The development of an accurate blood test has long been a problem for diagnosing Lyme. The typical test that clinics use around the country, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevension uses for tracking Lyme, is a two-tiered system that involves an antibody titer and Western Blot, according to Otten. “That testing is missing at least 50% of cases,” he said. “Imagine if HIV testing was that poor.” Long-term antibiotic therapy has been the treatment of choice for Lyme sufferers, but Otten reports some exciting developments in that area, as well. “Research out of Stanford showed a new drug called disulfiram, used for treating alcoholism, was a potential candidate for persisting Lyme,” Otten said. “So far it looks really promising. People who’ve had chronic, relapsing Lyme, people who have been treated with antibiotics, then relapsed, then treated, then relapsed, given disulforam haven’t had to be retreated. That is very exciting.” Otten is using the drug, which goes by the trade name Antabuse, on patients at his White Bear Parkway clinic. The CDC says 14 diseases are

carried by six species of ticks. All six live in Minnesota. Recently, a new species, B. mayonii, has also been identified as a cause of human disease, and nine cases have been reported in Minnesota residents since 2013, one in 2018, according to the state Department of Health. In Minnesota, the same tick vector also transmits the agents of babesiosis, human anaplasmosis, one form of human ehrlichiosis, and a strain of Powassan virus. If there is one take-home message, Otten says it’s this: If people have unexplained illness with no clear diagnosis, and they have joint pain, brain fog, neuropathic conditions like numbness, tingling and headaches, and a physician hasn’t been

able to clearly say ‘This is what’s driving it,’ the patient needs to be carefully evaluated for Lyme and other co-infections. “You can’t rule out Lyme with a negative test,” added the practitioner. He is not sure why the disease is on the upswing, but Otten said Lyme is endemic in this area and spreading around the globe. Climate change is expected to keep ticks and Lyme dis-
ease on the rise. One theory, based on work by Canadian researchers, is that warming causes tick life cycles to speed up, allowing more to survive and reproduce. Experts predict rising temperatures will boost the number of Lyme disease cases by more than 20% by mid-century. Interestingly, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency uses the number of Lyme disease cases as an indicator of climate change.

Aaron’s Playground on hold, city still committed BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Just when the community was poised for the official groundbreaking ceremony for Aaron’s Playground in Southwest Park, the Mahtomedi City Council passed a resolution to reject all bids for the project. At its May 19 meeting, the council rejected all six bids because all of them exceeded the current budget available for the project. Mahtomedi residents Craig and Becky Markovitz have been leading efforts to build a playground in honor of their son, Aaron. On April 7, the city advertised for bids for the Aaron’s Playground project that included concrete pavement curbs and playground equipment with wood fiber resilient surfacing. The city has had $180,000 in funds available through donations, capital improvement plan (CIP) funds and available city funds. Unfortunately, the lowest bid came in at $276,070. “The bids were a little more than we expected,” Public Works Director Bob Goebel said. The city can’t afford the playground at these quotes, he said. He cited underbudgeting on the part of the city and miscommunication between members of city staff as a reason that details in the request for proposal (RFP) led to higher offers. The RFP did not hold out the playground equipment for state contract bidding, so the playground equipment became part of the more expensive work a private company would provide. The site work that will be performed in-house and save the city money will also be reformatted at a later date into a quote
package to be distributed to the bidders who submitted a bid this last time around. The good news is that there will be a next time for the playground; the bad news is that it might not be for a little while. Try as they might during the meeting, council and city staff could not come up with more money to justify accepting the bids they received this month. Council discussed putting off the project for another year and looked toward adding it to the 2021 budget, adding more money to the CIP fund or reassessing the city’s five-year CIP plan for parks to fund the project differently than it did this year. Councilman Jeff Ledermann noticed that the city has received bids for different projects over the past few weeks that were also much higher than estimated. The Glenmar Avenue storm sewer project will be rebid in 2021 due to extremely high bids; the Edith Pond project will have to be pursued in 2021 or 2022 due to unaffordable bids, and the city still hopes to rebid for the Bevins, Bichner and Talahi utilities project this year after bids came in too high. It is unclear whether the COVID-19 shutdown had anything to do with the high bids presented by contractors. However, the unsettled times brought on by COVID-19 call for caution, Councilman Steve Wolgamot said. “Let’s step back, assess the scope of the project and look for other resources,” he said. “Let’s do what the community can to make a wonderful thing for (the Markovitz) family and all the people who care about them.” “I’m deeply committed to this project,” Councilwoman Jane Schneeweis said. “I’d like to see more and more people involved
in it, and I’d like to have it done right.” Many in the community have their hearts in this project, Schneeweis said. In other action, council: • Approved a request from the property owners at 1829 Park Avenue for a variance to allow for an increase in allowable accessory structure size to build an addition to the existing detached garage. City staff said the application was in order, and the Planning Commission at its May 13 meeting unanimously recommended approval. The existing garage is 504 square feet, and the new detached garage will be 917 square feet. The maximum allowable accessory structure size is 750 square feet, so the requested variance is for an additional 167 square feet. • By a vote of 4-1 (Ledermann opposed) approved a request from the property owner at 141 Rose Street and 165 Tamarack Street for a minor subdivision, conditional use permit and four variances. City staff said the application was in order, and the Planning Commission at its May 13 meeting unanimously recommended approval, subject to seven conditions. • Adopted a resolution approving the acceptance of gifts directed toward the Mahtomedi Fire Department for miscellaneous purchases. Carl and Karen Olson donated $30, and Gayle Huseth donated $100 to the department. • Hired two seasonal employees at a rate of $14 per hour for the Public Works Department, contingent on the successful completion of driver’s license check, drug test, background check and physical exam.
• Approved the 2020 recycling grant agreement with Washington County in the amount of $14,549.50. • Approved the 2021 budget calendar. The budget year starts with council approval of budget instructions on May 19 and culminates with the finance director’s submission of the final budget and levy to the county in late December. • Gave permission for city staff to create a Facebook page. • Approved pay voucher No. 1 in the amount of $205,453.24 to Insituform Technologies USA Inc. for the 2020 sewer lining project. • Approved pay voucher No. 2 in the amount of $6,205.36 to Nadeau Companies LLC for the 2020 pond maintenance project. • Acknowledged completion of the probationary period for firefighter/EMT Alex Stuart. Fire Chief Terry Fischer recommended having his job status changed to paid, on-call firefighter/EMT. • Awarded the contract for apparatus floor resurfacing at the fire station to SwedeBro in the amount of $32,400. The fire department received two quotes for the project and chose the higher bid because it presented a solution to resolve moisture issues. • Passed a resolution extending the term of the previously declared local emergency to June 12, the largest impact of which means that no in-person meetings to conduct city business will take place before that date. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 2, via videoconference.

Like other touring musicians around the world, local and nationally acclaimed guitarist Billy McLaughlin has had to find other ways to exercise his creativity during the COVID-19 crisis. With scheduled performances on hold, he said that he’s “trying to find ways to still be creative.” At the urging of some of his fans, he has revisited a previously recorded song titled “Safe Within the Storm” and in collaboration with photographer and videographer Mark Ellis, has created a music video honoring frontline healthcare workers while also calling attention to the CDC Health Worker Relief Fund. McLaughlin said he originally wrote “Safe Within the Storm” during a painful period in his life. Some of his fans, recognizing a timely emotional resonance along
with a message of hope and resilience, persuaded him to revisit the song, which was recorded live at the Maplewood Performing Arts Theatre. After contemplating what he could do to share a positive message of support, he sent the song to his longtime friend Mark Ellis, one of his former guitar students. Ellis, a lifelong photographer specializing in nature, wildlife, and night sky photography, along with time-lapse video, was inspired by the song and began to work on the video. He got assistance with the visuals from a friend of his daughter’s who is a nurse. On behalf of Mark, she requested photos from her colleagues and within 24 hours a collection of unplanned, candid photos of front-line healthcare workers came in. Mark integrated the images into the video and said that “The stories told through their eyes of fatigue, fear, strength, caring and hope are powerful throughout.” The video is live on YouTube

BY CYNTHIA SOWDEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The White Bear Township Board voted May 18 to refund three months’ worth of liquor license fees to bars and restaurants that sell on and offsale liquor within the township but have been shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic. The fees were paid at the beginning of the year. Ed Prudhon, town board chair, said, “We need to support our businesses. It’s not their fault they had to close. This is a gesture of goodwill.” One of the businesses that will get a refund is Emagine theater. Checks should go out in June. Township offices will remain closed until June 1 to remain in compliance with the executive order issued by Gov. Tim Walz. Although area parks have reopened, they remain closed to large gatherings of people. Portable toilets are not available; the township doesn’t have enough workers to handle daily disinfection. Likewise, Bellaire Beach had no lifeguard on duty over Memorial Day weekend. The next township board meeting will be held at 7 p.m. June 1 at Heritage Hall. Social distancing will be encouraged. Several public hearings are scheduled for June 1 and 15. Persons who have a hearing will be encouraged to remain in their cars until their matter is discussed; then they will be called into Heritage Hall.

Watch out for fake antibody tests
The Better Business Bureau serving Minnesota is warning consumers of fake COVID-19 antibody tests being marketed by scammers. Many people are seeking antibody tests to determine if their body has already fought off the virus. While antibody tests are available through health care providers, the ones being marketed by scammers are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and will not provide accurate results.
How the scam works
You receive a robocall or are directed to a website that looks like a clinic or medical supply company offering COVID-19 antibody tests. Some even promise results in 10 minutes. To get a test, you need to complete a form with personal information or enter your credit card details. In some cases, the test involves an at-home testing kit that consumers never receive. Other times, the tests are allegedly offered through a clinic. But in all cases, the person or website selling the
test is short on details. They aren’t willing or able to provide any information about how the test works, where it is sourced, and what laboratory processes it — all of which are major red flags.
How to avoid fake coronavirus tests
WHEN TO SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL ATTENTION Look for emergency warning signs* for COVID-19. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately. • Trouble breathing
• Reach out to your health care provider. They can help you figure out if the test will be covered by insurance and where to find a legitimate clinic. If you don't have a primary care physician, check out the official website of your local health department for more information on testing availability. • Do research before buying. Scammers put pressure on people to buy or commit without giving them time to do further research. Before you agree to anything, search on BBB.org and Google to see they are BBB Accredited, have good reviews, and if there are complaints or scam reports associated with their business name. • Understand your options. The Centers for Dis-
• Persistent pain or pressure in the chest • New confusion • Inability to wake or stay awake • Bluish lips or face *This list is not all possible symptoms. Please call your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you. Call 911 or call ahead to your local emergency facility: Notify the operator that you are seeking care for someone who has or may have COVID-19. ease Control and Prevention has a detailed guide to testing for COVID-19 on its website, cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019 -ncov/symptoms-testing From press release
COMMUNITY BRIEFS Eastbound Vadnais Boulevard closure
Starting Tuesday, May 26, eastbound Vadnais Boulevard will be closed for a week while concrete pavement is constructed. A detour using County Road F will be posted. Westbound traffic will continue as normal.
Book drop open
The Ramsey County Library-White Bear Lake branch has opened its exterior book drop. No charges for overdue books will accrue until further notice. The library is still closed for walk-in services, but programming continues to be available online.
Volunteers needed
The Mahtomedi Parks and Trails Stewards are looking for volunteers to pull weeds, maintain plantings,
rake plant debris and pick up litter in local parks and trails. Those interested can work alone or partner with others, set their own hours and even select an individual flower bed to give needed attention throughout the growing season. For more information or to get involved, contact Cindy at 920-621-0295 or email Cindyras49@gmail.com.
Phased reopening of campgrounds
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will reopen its campgrounds at state parks, state forests and recreation areas in a phased approach beginning June 1. Gov. Tim Walz announced that public and private campgrounds may reopen beginning June 1 if they create a preparedness plan and follow State of Minnesota campground guidelines.
The timeline is as follows: May 22: The DNR will open 75 remote campsites in state parks for use over Memorial Day weekend. Another 80 remote sites are expected to be ready by May 29. June 1: The DNR anticipates having about 20-30 of its campgrounds within state parks, recreation areas and forest campgrounds ready to open, with limited services. Some lodging options, such as camper cabins and yurts, will also open on June 1. In general, visitors can expect that water systems will be turned on, grounds will be maintained, and vault toilets/porta-toilets will be available. However, some value-added services may not be ready or available at that point, such as showers and contact/ranger stations.
POLITICAL BRIEFS Town Hall
The legislative candidates in Senate District 38, Representative Ami Wazlawik (38B), House candidate Kris Fredrick (38A) and Senate candidate Justin Stofferahn (38), will be holding a joint virtual town hall from 6-7 p.m. Thursday, May 28. Join on Facebook at www.facebook.com/mnsd38dfl/live.
More work on bonding bill needed
Sen. Chuck Wiger's office reports that despite unprecedented challenges presented by COVID-19, the Legislature made progress on several priorities for Senate District 43 before the session adjourned May 18. Though it came close to passing in 2019, this year the Legislature passed a statewide ban on the use of TCE, making Minnesota the first state in the country to take this step. Another bill that failed in the final hours of the 2019 session got over the finish line as the Alec Smith Insulin Affordability Act was passed, providing emergency access to insulin for Minnesotans with diabetes. Additionally, the Legislature passed a bipartisan series of COVID-19 related measures including: • More than $32 million in funding to support housing and shelter options for low-income Minnesotans and Minnesotans experiencing homelessness in response to COVID-19 • $200 million in funding to support the state’s health care system, $50 million distributed to provide cash flow relief to health care organizations for their highest priority needs, and $150 million for a grant program for health care providers related to COVID-19 • $21 million in funding for Minnesota’s public health response contingency account. However, the regular session adjourned without passage of a final bonding bill. “As a member of the capital investment committee,” said Wiger, “I joined my colleagues in tours across the state of projects that deserve state backing, and I have worked hand in hand with local officials to get our communities’ projects included in a bill,” he said. “Not only would it be a disservice to the hard work of communities throughout the state to not have a bonding bill, it would further hurt Minnesota’s response to the economic fallout of COVID-19. I’m working with my colleagues to improve the final bill.” Both Senate and House versions of the bonding bill included funding for important local projects, with $4 million in the Senate bill for the Lake Links Trail, and $380,000 for the trail in the House bill. The bills also included funding for the I-35E and Country Road J Interchange.
June 8: The DNR will reopen another 20-30 campgrounds and lodging facilities, the rest of its remote campsites, and many of its contact/ranger stations. The DNR plans to have the rest of the campgrounds open and most areas with full services by June 15. The following facilities and amenities remain closed until further notice: beaches, pond-pools, housekeeping cabins, visitor centers, group centers, fire towers, large-group facilities (such as amphitheaters), group tours and other scheduled interpretive programs. Campers should come prepared with their own hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes, paper towels, toilet paper and other supplies for use at their campsites and available bathrooms.
SPORTS BRIEFS Ace for hockey star
Lleyton Roed, White Bear Lake junior, notched a hole-in-one at Gem Lake Golf Club on May 7. Roed used a pitching wedge for the ace on the 159yard No. 8 hole. “It took one bounce and rolled in,” said Roed, who shot one-under-par for nine holes. Roed is a two-time all-conference hockey player and led the Bears in scoring this winter. He was a returning letter-winner in golf. Spring sports were canceled due to COVID-19 but golf courses have been open for three weeks.

Siekmeier part of stellar Gopher foursome
of Mahtomedi was part of a Minnesota Gophers foursome that earned the NCAA No. 1 national ranking for shot put as a group. Siekmeyer, a sophomore, teamed with Kieran McKeag, Jon Nerdal and Connor Rousemiller to compile the NCAA’s best cumulative season-best throws in a season that was halted prior to regional and national competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Siekmeyer’s contribution was a throw of 72 feet, 5 3/4 inches at the Minnesota Cold Classic, which ranked as the 11th-best in the nation. All four throwers posted top-10 all-time marks in Gopher annals during the indoor season, with McKeag ranking second, Siekmeier third, Nerdal fifth and Rousemiller 10th. At Mahtomedi, Siekmeier was state runner-up in discus (187-7) and placed third in shot put (60-2 1/2) as a senior. His parents, John and Becky, were both Gopher throwers.

Weather tidbits
Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com The official start date of summer is still a good 3 plus weeks away, June 20 at 4:43pm, but most of us recognize Memorial Day as the start of summer. Off to a cabin or a camp for a 3-day weekend might feel different this year. The warmer weather this past week and the opening of smaller shops really brought out more people. It was nice to see. Much of May was spent with below normal temperatures and the late surge in temperatures helped push temperatures near normal. Rainfall, which had been almost nonexistent, received a nice boost not only from the May 16-17 rainfall, but also from some timely late month lighter rains. Time to enjoy summer! Nature Notes: I noticed many online posts of fawns being born, foxes and other new wildlife emerging. Dandelions are turning to seed.

Lake Avenue Trail traffic being studied The Lake Avenue Trail has a few new additions to it: black tubes across the trail and a gray box attached to a nearby light pole. Both have been installed to monitor bicycle and pedestrian traffic along the trail. According to City Engineer Paul Kauppi, the tubes count bicycle traffic, and a sensor inside the gray box activates when someone walks by. The system will typically register people using roller blades, stollers or wagons as pedestrians. The work is being done by a group from the University of Minnesota looking at trail usage and social distancing during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
