ICE ARENA: Skating community teams up with city PAGE 3A
BY RACHEL M. ANDERSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Visiting an antique store is like going on a journey back in time. Most shops are fi lled with old furniture, paintings, dishes and knickknacks, but sometimes amazing treasures are found. More than a decade ago, Carolyn Porter visited a now-closed antique store in downtown Stillwater that proved most fortuitous. “I have an affection for old handwriting, and I had been keeping an eye out for old letters I could use as source material for a new computer font,” said Porter, a graphic designer in White Bear Lake. “But until that day, I had not found letters that included enough raw material to work with.” For her font, Porter needed a handwriting sample that had a complete array of both upper and lowercase letters, along with numbers. She found exactly what she had been looking for in a collection of letters written during World War II by a Frenchman named Marcel Heuzé. “I was drawn not only to Marcel’s beautiful, swashed handwriting, but to the papers the letters had been written on. The yellowed pages were covered with faded ink and stripes of blue and red had been painted in the background,” recalled Porter, who bought five of the 20 or so letters for sale. “They cost just over $6 apiece; $30 was all I felt comfortable spending that day.” Over the next several years, Porter

worked on the font in her spare time. She fi nished the font in late 2013, and was honored when P22 Type Foundry, a New York-based distributor that specializes in fonts based on art, history, and design, wanted “Marcel” to be part of its curated collection. Since its release, P22 Marcel Script has garnered five awards, including the
prestigious Certificate for Typographic Excellence from the New York Type Director’s Club. However, the creation of the P22 Marcel Script is only part of the story. A few years before the release of the font, Porter took on another project. SEE LETTERS, PAGE 8A
Standing-room-only crowd turns out to support Tally’s music nights BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Music by the Lake is not going away, patrons may just need to take a shuttle to hear it. At the end of a packed public hearing May 22 that lasted three-plus hours, the Planning Commission lifted most constraints recommended by city staff on Tally’s Dockside, which has been operating outside of the city’s zoning code for years.
Owners Keith and Jan Dehnert requested an amendment to an existing conditional use permit to expand restaurant seating at their restaurant on Lake Avenue S., adding even more seating to “Music By The Water” nights. In her introduction to commissioners, Associate Planner Samantha Crosby said staff has no desire to “squash” the use that has grown at the business the last five to seven years. “We are recommending an interim solution with carefully crafted condi-
tions we believe will allow music by the water to continue while minimizing negative effects on businesses and residences,” she said. Crosby added that the venue is an integral part of what makes the only commercial waterfront on White Bear Lake so dynamic and desirable. “However, the operations have grown in intensity over the years and some aspects of the business no longer comply with code. Primarily they are seating and parking.”
The Dehnerts purchased the building on the west side of Lake Avenue, CG Hooks, and the marina 28 years ago. They turned the business into more than just a boat rental in 2008 when they opened a restaurant and in 2014, obtained a full liquor license, catering from the CG Hooks side of the street to the Tally’s building and patio. Live music started in 2000. During those expansions, the

Artist’s residency encourages high school students to look beyond their personal, cultural and technological bubbles BY PAUL DOLS WEBSITE EDITOR
It's not the place where you would normally expect to see artwork displayed, but some of the hallways at both the North and South White Bear Lake Area High School campuses became temporary galleries this spring for hundreds of images and personal statements created by students. The visual displays in the schools were the culmination of an ambitious creative project led by respected documentary photographer Wing Young Huie that involved more than 1,500 students in 26 classes, as well as dozens of faculty members, including art teachers Shawn Gritzmacher and Karen Reiland. His residency in White Bear Lake was made possible by a Minnesota State Arts Board 2017 Arts Learning grant conceptualized and applied for by White Bear Center for the Arts Executive Director Suzi Hudson and Program Director Danielle Cezanne, who had reached out to Huie with the idea
“What is real might be one of the most important questions of our time.”
“WHAT DO YOU SEE?” A RESIDENCY WITH WHITE BEAR YOUTH White Bear Center for the Arts collaborated with photographic artist Wing Young Huie to work with White Bear Lake Area High School students in a residency that utilized photography and other mediums to develop cultural awareness. Where: In the Ford Family Gallery at the White Bear Center for the Arts When: May 30 – June 13 Opening Reception: Thursday, June 8, 6:30-8:30 p.m. age of Facebook “for people to have face-to-face conversations with people they don't know.” Last Wednesday, Huie was in the Ford Family Gallery at the White Bear Center for the Arts sorting and displaying images with the help of high school student volunteers Erica Holbrook and Beck Slack. Along with the gallery exhibit, the students are also producing a magazine related to the project. When asked about the influence of the project, Huie referred to a stack of comment cards the students were able to submit anonymously. The majority of the comments were favorable, noting an appreciation and increased empathy for what their fellow students were experiencing. A few of the comments were indifferent and a small number of them were negative. One comment in particular stood out for its candor, stating that the exhibit was “a step in the right direction, but not in-your-face and intrusive enough” to impact the culture at the school. Holbrook, a senior at White Bear Lake Area High School South Campus, was directly involved in curating and displaying the images at both the schools and the arts center. She commented on how many of the students were quite surprised by the depth and personal nature of some of the chalkboard messages and added that she was personally surprised that, instead of being divisive, the exhibit “connected students in a way we didn't think would happen.” Paul Dols is photojournalist/website editor for Press Publications.

for a possible partnership last year. Sharing some of the skills he acquired and honed while working on past documentary photo projects in diverse neighborhoods in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, Huie encouraged the students to get out of their comfort zones and talk to someone they didn't know. While describing the overall scope and intent of the project, he stressed the timeliness and importance of trying to get people out of “their personal, cultural and technological bubbles.” Noting the transformation of the students in one of her more quiet and reserved classes, North Campus art teacher Karen Reiland said that participation in the project created a different atmosphere in the classroom and “opened up a lot of conversations where there hadn't been any before.” Following a drawing and painting project (focusing on the dualities of personality) where students had to pick a partner they didn't know that well, one of Reiland's students shared that, yes, they learned about the other person, but they also learned about themselves. The dense display of images and handwritten messages mounted on the walls at the schools revealed a wide spectrum of emotions ranging from lighthearted and fun to heartbreaking and honestly raw. The origin of the chalkboard messages integrated into the students' photographs came when Huie was working on a documentary photography project in St. Paul and came to the conclusion that “No matter how good a photograph is, it's still just a surface description,” followed by the question of “How can you create an image that gives a glimpse of what's inside that person?” He also worked on creating open-ended, ambiguous questions that were difficult to answer, but required answers that revealed fundamental clues to how people viewed themselves and their place in the world. Overall, the resulting displays in the schools and now in the gallery at the White Bear Center for the Arts appear to offer an alternative to the carefully curated image of self that many people currently display on social media. Huie acknowledged the challenge of getting students to honestly express themselves. “It's dangerous to be vulnerable. Social media is what you think people want you to be.” He noted it's also becoming a rare occurrence in the

Family of three boys this year’s Tour de Bar beneficiaries
Local completes policymaking program Justin Smith, a White Bear Lake Area High School 2016 graduate and current Transitions Plus student, graduated from the state Partners in Policymaking program this month. The program equips people to be stronger self-advocates. Smith has cerebral palsy and uses a communication board. Smith has had a lifelong introduction to the Partners in Policymaking program since his mother completed the course 16 years ago, when Justin was 2 years old. He took the online Partners program and especially liked the sections on disability rights, history and advocacy, he said. The class topics of highest interest were those on education and inclusion since he is currently is in an education program that he feels is not inclusive, he said. He also met with his state representative and senator to share a prepared statement about consumer directed community supports, independent living and health care. Smith currently advocates for disability rights and accessibility through his blog, as a presenter and volunteer. Partners helped him realize that through in-home services it would be possible for him to live on his own someday. “Partners helped me realize those supports are available,” he said. Smith said
he would recommend the class to self-advocates who are older and have had some life experience in living on their own can so they can easily absorb that volume of material presented with the program. The program was developed by the Minnesota Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities. “Graduates report that they gained a greater understanding of disability law and policies, and increased their self confidence in advocating for their needs,” said Colleen Wieck, executive director of the Governor’s Council. “Many have become leaders in their own communities as they speak up for people with disabilities.” The program is free for participants, and the costs are covered by a federal grant. More than 900 Minnesotans have attended the program over 30 years. The program is accepting applications for the 2017-2018 program that starts in September. Sessions are held monthly over eight months. Applications are due July 10.

A tale of three brothers who lost their mother will be told at this year's Tour de Bar Bicycle Benefit. It's the 29th year for the two-wheel fundraiser that every year chooses someone who will most benefit from the generosity of its participants. This year the benefit committee has selected the children of Tammy Hayes, Braden Hayes Devin Hayes who died unexpectedly April 15 at the age of 39. She left behind Shawn, Devin and Braden. Shawn, 19, graduated from White Bear Lake Area High School in 2016 and joined the National Guard. He also works at Viking Electric. Devin, 15, will be a 10th-grader at North Campus this fall. He plays football and is on the track team. Braden, 12, attends Sunrise Shawn Hayes Tammy Hayes Middle School and will be a seventh-grader. He also participates in football, basketball and track. Tammy was an only child, according to Tour de Bar Chair Mike Shearen. Her father died in 1997 and her mother resides in a nursing home. Devin and Braden's father, despite living in the area, has always been a distant part of their lives. He was in a serious accident last December and is physically unable to care for the boys, Shearen said. Shawn is applying for guardianship of his two younger brothers. The boys want to stay in White Bear Lake, added Shearen, and proceeds from the benefit would help them with housing, living expenses and to purchase a headstone for their mother. The Tour De Bar Bicycle Benefit is Aug. 5. More details will be provided as the event draws closer. Proceeds are raised through apparel sales and raffle tickets. Submitted
One sheet scores, two sheets a goal City Council approves first phase of ice arena renovation
BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association got its wish. The city is stepping up to go halves with the skating community in a $4 million project to renovate the aging Sports Center. Phase One of a three-phase plan includes preliminary design work that will cost $69,380. The contract was awarded to Kraus-Anderson/JLG Architects, one of four engineering firms that submitted bids for the project. Renovations include a new refrigeration system and upgrades to the building, which was converted into an ice arena in 1989. There has been discussion of a larger project that would add a second ice sheet, but that is not part of the current project. Accommodations for a second sheet will be part of the design, however. The hockey association pledged to pay 50 percent of the project to a maximum of $2 million. To demonstrate its commitment, association President Kevin McFarlane presented a check for $34,690 to the City Council at its May 23 meeting. McFarlane told the council the association has discussed financing options with its bank. “If we raise zero dollars, we can still service debt on a $2 million loan with gambling proceeds,” he said. “That is the worst-case scenario. I'm sure we'll be able to raise the money.” The hockey representative added he'd

like to see the project go the next step to a second sheet of ice. There is also talk about throwing curling into the mix. The skating school is also teaming up to raise money. Its representative, Lisa Beecroft, addressed the council, noting a group called Friends of WB Sports Center held its first meeting the week prior with plans to start a fundraising campaign. City Engineer Mark Burch pointed out the skating community will be part of the decision-making process every
step of the way. The proposal was split into three phases with a cost for each phase. That way, the city and the skating community can review each stage of the project without committing to progressive phases if a decision is made to stop. The award to Kraus-Anderson/JLG Architects includes a total contract amount of $444,880 for design and construction management services. It was the lowest bid. The contract, Burch explained, will be structured so the
cost for Phase I, preliminary design and 60 percent plan preparation, is $69,380; cost for Phase II, final plan and specification preparation and a bidding process, is $80,700 and cost for Phase III, construction management services, is $294,800. The White Bear Lake Sports Center Renovation Project is scheduled to begin construction April 1, 2018 to make the fall skating schedule. Burch admitted the timeline is tight, but the goal is to have the ice ready by September 2018. Preliminary design should be complete by July 23, just prior to the July 25 council meeting. At that time, Kraus-Anderson will present the preliminary plans for council to consider before proceeding to the next phase, which includes advertisement for bids. Award of a construction contract would occur at the Dec. 12, 2017 City Council meeting. The hockey association is willing to provide a letter of credit if one is requested as a contractual obligation. According to Burch, the association's bank has indicated willingness to provide a letter of credit based on its historical receipt of gambling proceeds. The city's portion of the project cost will come from restructuring of an internal loan originally set up for the area YMCA project, noted Finance Director Don Rambow. “No new tax revenue will be used to fund the project,” he stressed. “This will not impact a future tax levy.” If extra funds are needed, the city will use revenue from marina slip rentals.

Working kids
W
hen our daughter came home from school last month and said she really wanted to go on the 8th grade trip to Washington D.C. next year and it would cost more than $1500, Amy and I were shocked when the next words out of her mouth were, “and I’m already thinking of ways that I can pay for it.” Abbey told us that she and her friends had already begun discussing ways to make money. Some options included a bake sale at next year’s basketball tournament, lemonade stands, and selling the infamous slime or other handmade crafts. I love that this generation of Publisher’s youth are looking for ways to pay their own way rather than simply asking mom and dad for View money. I see it all the time with Carter Johnson the kids who walk into our office to seek a job as a carrier. Not only do they gain the experience of earning their own money, but they learn at an early age the valuable skills of how to fi ll out an application, interview and talk to an employer. One of the challenges however, is that there are very few ‘real’ jobs available for 13-year-old kids. Abbey really wanted to work as a caddy at a local golf course, but we feel she’s not quite ready yet. Our neighborhood already has a carrier. We suggested mowing lawns (not interested), babysitting (definitely interested and she’s taken the training course at the Y), and cleaning the Press building in the summer months when we are short-staffed, which she agreed to after negotiating some terms with me. This summer — take a chance on a neighborhood kid. If you need your lawn mowed, your deck stained, your flowers watered or mail picked up when you’re out of town, or your dog walked while you’re at work, there are probably kids right on your street who would be eager to help. For many of them, it isn’t so much about the money, but that they want to start gaining more independence and responsibility. The benefit to you is that you can get some extra help at a reasonable rate, and you will also be mentoring and leading the next generation of our workforce. Celebrate our teachers For the last three years I have had the privilege of participating in the Teacher of the Year fi nalist interviews in the White Bear School District. I continue to be amazed by the caliber of teachers we have in our schools. From the up-and-coming stars to those who have been teaching for decades, it’s an impressive group. I am always inspired by what goes on in the classroom. What stands out is their passion for teaching and how often the students they pushed time and time again come back to say ‘thank you’ for the defining moments. This year when the Teacher of the Year is announced, please take time to congratulate Nicholas Marty and all the candidates. Carrier of the month We contract with more than 100 youth and adult newspaper carriers, and we continually try to recognize them for their entrepreneurship, hard work and good service. If you see your carrier either doing a good job or one that needs a little correction, please feel free to give us a call and we will be sure to pass it on to the carrier. If you have a complaint, we really encourage you to let us know so we can work through it with them. Often these kids are as young as 12 or 13 years old doing their fi rst job, and we want to be sensitive to how we mentor them and encourage them in a helpful way. Thank you again for your support of local kids through our carrier program. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

Government partnerships bring resources, revenue, and jobs
T
hree years ago, the Board of Commissioners voted to acquire the Vadnais Sports Center and three adjacent vacant lots for $10.55 million. Built in 2010, the center had run into fi nancial trouble and needed a new vision and operating approach. Today, our Vadnais Sports Center (VSC) is on a financially sustainable path and a place of constant for youth Movers & activity and families. In addition, three Shakers adjacent lots that Blake Huffman were part of the purchase have been sold to businesses that are providing jobs and economic development in ways that are complementary to the sports center itself. This week Twin Cities Orthopedics, the last of the three sites to be developed, held its ground breaking. Since acquisition, we have undertaken several measures to make VSC – which features two NHL regulation-size ice rinks and
a 100,000-square-foot sports dome – more attractive, efficient and sustainable. Investments in new safety and cleaning equipment for the sports dome and upgrades to the welcome center and lobby as well as the addition of a new party room, have made the interior more inviting. Additions of automated building controls and energy-management strategies have yielded thousands of dollars in savings per month. Programming and events have expanded as well, and include skating shows, hockey tournaments, gymnastics competitions, softball league games, and home games for Mounds View and White Bear Lake high schools. The core business of VSC has increased steadily, with the ice rental hours up 15 percent and dome rental hours up five percent. Currently, seven full-time parks staff work at VSC with more than 20 part-time staff covering events. Additionally, several students of Lionsgate Academy for autistic youth serve as temporary employees through a post-high school employment preparation program, and adults with disabilities are employed through Minnesota State Operated Community
Services to clean rink glass and bleachers. Overall, the income from the renewed programming and strong management by parks and recreation have provided enough revenue to cover annual operating costs, repay the loan for the acquisition of the facility, and provide a capital reserve for future facility improvements. The VSC purchase also included three smaller undeveloped adjacent lots valued at about $750,000. Our property management department led the marketing and sale of these three lots to three different businesses for a total of about $906,000 – providing more than $208,000 in additional revenue to our general fund which benefits taxpayers by offsetting other general expenses. This is a great example of how good government works to partner with communities to develop, encourage economic growth, and use our best resources to ensure success. I am especially proud of our staff, the community and the support from my fellow commissioners. Blake Huffman is Ramsey County Commissioner - District 1.

Get connected…with humanity “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” — Albert Einstein
I
admit it. I’m technically challenged. Growing up, I used a rotary phone, was allowed to watch TV only on Friday nights, and making friends involved a fondue party and a lively game of Twister after dinner. It’s a struggle, at my age, to synchronize my Fitbit to my iPad to my computer to my Bluetooth, and somehow launch it all up into a cloud. Growing up, clouds were for making imaginary creatures and forms and now they’re storing all of my personal data. We are a society in which we are highly connected with technology but disconnected socially with each other. A few years back, Gary and I were presented an opportunity to live in Derby, England. It meant getting out of our comfort zone, but the potential benefits far outweighed any trepidation that we felt. As we arrived and settled into our flat, I realized with
fresh awareness, that I would be alone everyday — all day — as Gary went to work. This was an opportunity for me to practice what I had been preaching to students years, “turn off Everyday for your electronic devices Etiquette and go out there and get connected!” Julie There are five ways to connect with huFrantz manity, with one caveat. In order for this to be successful you must follow the rule of etiquette and “unplug” all electronic devices and be present and engaged with human beings around you. • Go to a place of worship. One of the fi rst things we did was to fi nd a church and attended in person. When the church service finished we were greeted by new friends who extended invitations for lunch, to go touring, attend a Bible study and come for dinner.

Not only will you get moving and stay healthier but also you will meet like-minded individuals. • Volunteer according to your passion. My passion for tea led me to volunteer at the Derby Cathedral Tea House where I met Iris, who invited me to hop a bus with her every Friday afternoon and visit castles, manors, halls, gardens and teahouses. • Take a class or teach a class. Who would have thought that a gal from Minnesota would be teaching etiquette at a school in England? But miracles do happen and I had the privilege of sharing my curriculum at an elementary school. • Develop a hobby. Growing up we would hear “If you’re bored, then you’re boring.” With the plethora of hobbies available to choose from, every person should have five or six to keep themselves interesting. One of my hobbies is visiting tea venues.

I was in heaven traveling through England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and journaling about the 55 tearooms I sipped tea in. Those months in Derby, England and all the precious friends we made there will continue to be one of the highlights of my life. And I could have missed it all had I not been willing to disconnect with technology and purposefully connect with humanity. As for being technically challenged, I am making some progress. Just the other day I successfully reset all the flashing lights on the digital clocks. Who knows, maybe next I’ll send out a text!

DEATH NOTICE
Roselyn Anne Hickey Roselyn Anne Hickey, 56, of White Bear Lake, died May 26 after a brief illness. Memorial service 7 p.m. Thursday, June 1 at Parkview United Church of Christ, 3737 Bellaire Ave., White Bear Lake. Visitation 5-7 p.m. Burial in Addison, New York at later date.
Legislation changes who can teach White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi schools are ranked among the best in the nation. Our elected officials, state Rep. Matt Dean and his colleague state Sen. Roger Chamberlain, have joined hands with their Republican colleagues in the Minnesota House and Senate to attempt to rewrite rules as to who can be licensed to teach in Minnesota. This would only serve to diminish our schools' excellence. Gov. Mark Dayton has vetoed the bill written by Rep. Sondra Erickson (R-Princeton) and supported by Rep. Dean and Sen. Chamberlain to expand the category of people who could be licensed to include so-called “community experts” to teach in classrooms. Any warm body will do, and no specialized training in teaching methods or classroom management would be required. It seems as if they believe just knowing something about a subject would make you a good teacher. Over hard-fought battles, Minnesota has come a long way in improving teacher training programs and strengthening licensing for teachers. Minnesota has some of the most stringent requirements in the nation for earning a teaching license. In our lifetime, Minnesota has gone from a few weeks of normal school training to a bachelor’s degree and encouraging master’s degrees accompanied by lifetime continuous education requirements. The excellence of our schools is a testament to the success of those requirements. The plan written by Rep. Sondra Erickson (R-Princeton) is a poor plan designed to weaken our schools and is opposed by the DFL, the State Education Commissioner and Education Minnesota. No other profession would suggest letting untrained practitioners work in their operating rooms or courtrooms. Why should classrooms be any different? Although this legislation has been vetoed by the governor, there is no guarantee that it will not be resurrected or tucked into another bill. Let Sen. Chamberlain and Reps. Dean and Erickson know this is not the way to solve the teacher shortage problem. Patrick G.

Dad called 911 and the teen now faces pending charges of gross-misdemeanor domestic assault and disorderly conduct. • Following a falling out at WalMart the evening of May 18, Mom left her barefoot, 14-year-old daughter at the store and drove 6.3 miles home to St. Paul. The time was 8:40 p.m. When contacted by phone, Mom told a deputy, “So charge me, I don’t care.” Mom now faces pending charges of “child endangerment [and] malicious punishment of a child.” The teen was placed with the county’s Child Protection Services. • A battery charger along with three batteries, total value of $486, were reported stolen overnight May 19 from an assisted living facility under construction n the 500 block of Liberty Way. • A man with an apparent drinking problem was found passed out the morning of May 20 in the hallway of his apartment building in the 900 block of Heritage Court by medics who had arrived to take the 65-year-old to an appointment.

Felony charges of domestic assault and terroristic threats are under review by the county attorney’s office. • An 18-year-old out of White Bear Lake was nabbed on a misdemeanor shoplifting charge the afternoon of May 23 at WalMart for possession of cosmetics she had not paid for. The teen was cited and released to a grandma. • At fi rst, she was just drunk, but after learning May 23 that deputies were transporting the 28-year-old woman to county detox from her boyfriend’s Park Place apartment, she became
“extremely aggressive, using noisy offensive language.” Deputies then changed the delivery location to the Ramsey County Jail where she was booked on a disorderly conduct charge. • Two males out of Stillwater, both in their 50s, were arrested May 23 at WalMart. The younger man, 51, was charged with using a high-powered magnet “which can defeat security devices,” according to a store loss prevention employee. He was also wanted on a felony warrant for his arrest out of Anoka County for check forgery. The older man, 59, was charged with switching tags on $696 worth of merchandise. Both suspects were booked into jail.
White Bear Township • A 49-year-old Blaine man was arrested May 17 at Cub Foods on Meadowlands Drive for fi lling his cart with $46 worth of produce and pharmaceutical items but skipping the part where you pay for them. He was cited and released with a trespass notice barring his entrance to the store for one year. • A 1995 Honda Accord was reported stolen overnight May 18 from the driveway of a residence in the 1300 block of Bibeau Road. • Purloined products totaling $45 were recovered May 19 from a 43-year-old Plymouth man who avoided the checkout lane at Cub Foods.

Partygoers wisely agreed it was a good time to call it a night.

The snapping turtles and beavers appear most threatening.

They may be timing their final decision with the maturation of the bulrushes that provide terrific camouflage. Stay tuned…”

LETTERS: Stillwater antique store find proves life changing for graphic designer ABOUT THE AUTHOR
FROM PAGE 1A
Out of curiosity, she had one of Marcel’s letters translated. Porter, who does not speak French, was shocked to learn Marcel’s letters had been mailed from a labor camp in Berlin. “Marcel desperately missed his wife and three young daughters,” she said. Porter would learn his wife and daughters were waging their own battle for survival in a village in the countryside southwest of Paris. In her soon-to-be-released book, “Marcel’s Letters: A Font and the Search for One Man’s Fate,” Porter shares the story of her search for answers. Skyhorse Publishing of New York City will release the book June 6. Porter says the peek into Marcel’s life revealed in that fi rst translated letter left her yearning for answers. “Marcel had this incredible tenacity and hope, which was amazing considering where he was.” What began as a curiosity turned into an obsessive search for answers. “I had to know if he survived and made it home to his family,” she said. In the book, Porter pieces together answers from archives in Germany, France, and across the United States. Along the way, she learned more about the 600,000 French civilians forced to live and work in Germany during World War II. “There were millions of jobs in factories, farms, and mines that needed to be done to support the war industry. The Germans needed laborers to replace the German men who had been transferred to the fronts to fi ght, so they demanded workers from the countries they occupied. At times, Marcel was living in a camp surrounded by razor wire and guarded by S.S. Men worked 70 hours per week and survived on starvation rations. Yet as bad as the French workers had it,” Porter acknowledged, “others had it far worse.” In one of the letters, Marcel wrote: “We are about 60 in an old kitchen that is our lodging now. We bed down on straw. Do you picture it? Good thing that it isn’t too cold. We don’t have any light, that’s why my letter is messy.” In another he said: “As soon as we leave the table we are hungry again. What we eat doesn’t stick to our ribs,” and “Death does not count any more.” Marcel’s letters were also fi lled with words of love and optimism. One letter ended with these tender words for his wife: “And for you, my beloved one, I always save my most tender kisses.” In other letters, he offers gentle advice to his young daughters. With the help of a genealogy researcher, Porter learned Marcel’s fate, which is revealed in the book. The genealogy researcher also helped Porter track down several of Marcel’s relatives
Carolyn Porter can trace her love of handwriting back to teenage years and a set of calligraphy pens she was given as a birthday gift. She attended the University of Wisconsin-Stout, where she studied typography and majored in Graphic Design. After college, she worked for the Minneapolis design firm, Eaton & Associates. From there she worked at an advertising agency in Texas, then returned to the Twin Cities and took a position as a graphic designer at The St. Paul (now part of Traveler’s Insurance). In 2001, she started Porterfolio, Inc., a freelance graphic design, art direction, and brand communications company based in White Bear Lake. Porter designs custom marketing and sales materials for medical and financial companies and an array of non-profit organizations. Porter and her husband, Aaron, a former White Bear firefighter, moved to White Bear Lake in 1999. She finds the community “absolutely charming.” “We love the city’s deep and fascinating history and events like Marketfest really give it a delightful sense of place,” Porter said. “I’ve lived in Texas, Wisconsin and England but now I’ve lived in White Bear Lake longer than any other place. It feels like home.” For more information, go to www.Carolyn-Porter.com.

WATERFRONT: Parking issues necessitate change for Tally’s Dockside FROM PAGE 1A
additional seating and the required parking that goes with it were never addressed or approved by the city. It wasn’t until 2014 when the applicants were first notified of the need to apply for a conditional use permit amendment. Three years later, the Dehnerts made the application. They are asking the city to allow 125 seats on music nights and 63 seats on non-music nights. Since city code requires one parking stall for every three seats, Tally’s needs 21 stalls on non-music nights and much more on the three nights a week they offer live music. They own 20 stalls in the parking ramp at Boatworks Commons and nine on site. When 10 stalls are subtracted for marina use, 19 stalls are left for seating. To bridge the gap on music nights, 27 parking stalls are needed to serve the business. In order to accommodate the required 27 parking spots on music nights, the city offered the old Public Works site for patron parking. The Dehnerts are receptive to the idea. “We think it’s a great solution to allowing music to continue,” noted Keith, who added they learned about the city’s list of constraints only the Friday prior. Among the constraints, or conditions, recommended by planning staff, were things like acoustic music only, removal of the porta potties, moving the entrance to the south and disallowing liquor service to boaters. If patrons are sitting on rental pontoons, that must count as a seat. Staff also does not want customers sitting in lawn chairs on the trail or right of way. Amplifiers and porta potties will stay for now. Those and other conditions modified or deleted by commissioners at the meeting could be added back by the City Council, which will consider the amendment June 13. Dehnert promised to create a new seating plan that would meet parking requirements on non-music nights. As for some of the other conditions, he told commissioners he was caught off guard. “We understand that we all need to succeed, but the constraints staff has outlined seem unreasonable. They are regulating me beyond seats. To my knowledge, we followed the process,” he said. Commissioner Mary Alice Devine reminded the audience that the commission’s job is to look at fairness. “We can’t make exceptions for one,” she said. As for the porta-potties, Devine added she’s never noticed them. As people lined up to speak at the standing-room-only hearing, many said they were grateful for the live music and the waterfront. “Tally’s creates magic on White Bear Lake. No other business does it like that,” said resident Betsy Larey. She contends that it’s impossible to know who is parking where at the waterfront and accused the city of picking and

Tally’s Dockside owners Jan and Keith Dehnert are working with the city to find a way to keep the business in compliance with seating and parking requirements, especially on summer nights featuring live music by the lake.
choosing who it wants to succeed. “If I were the Dehnerts, I’d get a lawyer,” Larey said. Another resident on Old White Bear Avenue named Debra called Tally’s the “heart of the community.” “We kept an open mind about the Marina Triangle. Now for the first time, I’m angry. You are harassing a business that created so much. Tally’s was here first.” A resident from Mahtomedi, James Blesener, claimed no affiliation to Tally’s but said he was “saddened by the language he’s seen online. The assumptions made were not true. Tally’s is not hurting other businesses,” he said. “I’ve spent thousands of dollars at Acqua while enjoying music at Tally’s. I’m spending locally on my way to Tally’s, getting an oil change and shopping at Kowalski’s. It is a misnomer that Tally’s is hurting area businesses. Limiting its use will hurt White Bear Lake.” Fed up with the lack of parking on music nights, Acqua owner Daron Close had written an email to city leaders prior to the meeting, saying the issue had become serious for the 25 neighboring businesses and residents. In the early years of Acqua, the Marina Triangle looked much different, Close said. “Since 2014, Tally’s has expanded their operation well beyond their CUP and causing parking problems for its neighbors. Each year they add more seats, more rental boats and more music and have shown no concern for the impact their expansion has had on neighboring businesses,” he wrote. At the hearing, Close told the commissioners he isn’t looking for a fight. “Emails are not my thing. I shouldn’t
have sent it,” he stated. “I don’t like confrontation and it’s not personal. The problem has been building up and building up and we need to figure this out. The ramp is full. Seating is an issue. Live music never got factored in.” Adding that he loves the city and the waterfront, Close said he would rather worry about bolognese than where his guests will park. But he just wants to “protect what’s there.” Boatworks Commons co-owner Allen Spalding drove from Sunfish Lake to speak at the hearing. He pointed out a need for fairness, noting that CG Hooks paid $32,000 for parking spaces in the ramp based on 25 seats; Acqua paid $58,000 based on 89 seats and Mizu paid $141,000 for 110 seats. “This is a situation where the party that uses it by far the most has paid by far the least. There is a discrepancy here and in my opinion, this is not fair,” he said. Spalding took some heckling for his comments. One person shouted out that he doesn’t know who is parking where. Another woman in the audience told him his building was “ugly.” “People were emotional at the hearing,” observed City Manager Ellen Richter. “To the public, this seems like a new issue. It’s been unresolved for a long time. Tally’s CUP was extremely outdated. “All businesses were noticed in 2014 that they would have to comply with parking per seating,” she added. “We need to hold everyone accountable for parking. City code provides for parking requirements and we have to enforce that.” The city manager said she wants to start summer “with a happy bang.”
“We hope on June 13, we can walk away with a win-win. Our goal is to continue to celebrate the waterfront. The city wants to be a partner in this.” After the meeting, the Dehnerts said they think things are going in the right direction for both sides. A meeting with the city was set for May 30. As for the crowded chambers, the couple said they were humbled by the outpouring of support. “It was borderline emotional,” Keith admitted. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think our community would be so proactive. We are thankful to everyone.” “It proves how much people enjoy this place,” Jan added. “The Marina Triangle has seen a lot of changes,” continued Keith. “Today the waterfront is vibrant. It’s a great destination. Patrons do not just come to Tally’s. They frequent all the businesses in an evening. Parking has always been a behindthe-scenes issue. We don’t want to create parking wars that may tarnish the area. We need to work together to build this. The last thing we want to do is fight City Hall.” The Planning Commission agreed to recommend temporary approval of the application to City Council. In September, the process will be repeated as the city re-evaluates issues like use of porta potties and fencing, the street-end lease and other conditions at the Sept. 25 meeting. The City Council will review the commission’s recommendation in October. For those who are interested, Music By The Water starts May 31 with Dark Horse Blues Band.

Bonding money gives lake link a tailwind BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
ST. PAUL — Calling the negotiation process “fluid” at the Capitol, Sen. Chuck Wiger sent an email at 3 a.m. Friday that the Lake Links Trail around White Bear Lake would get a piece of the bonding bill. The project is a drop in the bucket compared to other infrastructure improvements listed in the $1 billion public works bill. Legislators had released a spreadsheet earlier in the week listing agreed-upon projects. Among them: $125,000 for a multi-use bike/walking path. The number jumped to $255,000 in the final version. The amount dedicates $38,000 for preliminary engineering for a trail along Trunk Highway 244; $15,000 for Birchwood Road in Mahtomedi and Hall Avenue in Birchwood; and $50,000 for South Shore Boulevard between White Bear Avenue and Trunk Highway 120. A segment by Lions Park also received $130,000 in funding. That was an ask that Wiger had trimmed knowing the segment already had a good chance of getting grant money from the Department of Natural Resources. It was added back at the 11th hour. The money is for a grant to the city of White Bear Lake to construct, furnish and equip a multi-use trail on Old White Bear Avenue between Lion’s
Park and South Shore Boulevard/Hazel Street. Advocates for the trail, Steve Wolgamot and Mike Brooks, who co-chair the local Lake Links Association, were excited about the funding. “The acknowledgement by government units that a route is possible; their work to demonstrate these facts and the commitment to doing the necessary engineering to make this a reality, are important steps for our entire community,” Wolgamot said. Brooks added that getting the appropriation took a collective effort from both legislators and communities. “No one wanted to be odd man out,” he observed. Wiger pointed out that the governor still needs to sign the bill, but is a strong supporter. Assuming approval, the Metropolitan Council will act as fiscal agent for the bonding money. “We were elated to get this done,” he said. “We are very pleased. It was a bipartisan effort that the public deserves.” Wolgamot credited Wiger for his “unstinting efforts” on the group’s behalf. “He got these items into the bonding bill and kept them there in turbulent and difficult circumstances. Rep. Peter Fischer’s constant efforts on the House side were essential as well.” There was also provision for railway improvements in the bill. Minnesota Commercial Railway will receive $1.5 million for short-line repairs to 6.5 miles of track between White Bear Lake and Hugo.

Community foundation announces new grant program Thanks to the generous contributions from individuals in the White Bear Lake area, the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation (GWBLCF) is pleased to announce it will begin accepting grant applications from area organizations beginning June 1. Up to $32,000 will be available from the Foundation’s Community Partners Fund. Established in 2015, GWBLCF’s mission is to inspire philanthropy and enrich the lives of people in the communities that share the shores of White Bear Lake — Birchwood Village, Dellwood, Mahtomedi, White Bear Lake and White Bear Township, now and in the future. In general, grants will range from $1,000 to $5,000 and will be awarded to nonprofit and community organization programs and projects that directly benefit, serve and respond to timely community needs that are consistent with the foundation’s mission.
“I am thrilled that we are able to offer grants in the greater White Bear Lake area that will enhance our communities in the short and long term,” said Carol McFarlane, vice chair of the foundation’s board of directors and chair of the grants committee. “Our hope is that this provides an opportunity for some new initiatives and/or collaborations to be created.” The foundation will host two informational meetings to discuss the grants program: 7:30-8:30 a.m. June 21 at White Bear Country Inn in White Bear Lake and 4:305:30 p.m. July 11 at the Wildwood Library in Mahtomedi. All grant applications are due by Aug. 15. For more information about the foundation and the Community Grants program, and to register for an informational meeting, visit the foundation’s website: greaterwblfoundation.org or email jackier@greaterwblfoundation.org Submitted by Jackie Reis, executive director

The federal allocation was announced by Congressman Joseph Karth and Mayor Milton L. Knoll, Jr. said that negotiations will get
understand immediately on the purchase of the five locations under consideration by the City Council……Final plans for the dedication of the new Bald Eagle park at Park and Bald Eagle were made Monday night at a meeting of the White Bear town board. The dedications will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday…. 1992 As of September, the White Bear Lake School District will lose a pioneer and innovator in the field of community recreation, Bud Korfhage, who has been the district’s recreation director since 1955 will retire on August 31. Korfhage was hired as the district’s first recreation director in 1955 and since that time has started a number of innovative programs in the district…. 2007 This year’s Manitou Days will be among the largest celebrations in the festival’s 40 year history.

Programs & Events Marcel’s Letters Monday, June 26 6:00-7:00pm Ramsey County Library-White Bear Lake Branch, 2150 2nd Street, White Bear Lake During the depths of World War II, Frenchman Marcel Heuzé mailed letters home from a Nazi labor camp. Sixty years later, designer Carolyn Porter found Marcel’s letters at an antique store in Stillwater and began to transform Marcel’s handwriting into a modern computer font. After having one letter translated into English, she became
obsessed with finding answers to the questions: Who was Marcel? Why had he been in Germany? And most importantly: Did he survive? Marcel’s Letters is the incredible story of Carolyn’s obsessive search to uncover the mystery of Marcel’s fate. FREE event but donations are welcome. Presented by the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society in partnership with the Ramsey County Library-White Bear Lake
Compiled by Gloria Tessier, Meg Todd and Sara Markoe Hanson at the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, 651-407-5327.

Attention Mariner graduates More than 30 years ago, White Bear Mariner High School graduated its last class and closed the doors, only to open again as White Bear Lake Area High School-
South Campus. Gone were the school colors of yellow and blue and the Mariner Dolphin mascot. Years later, four '76 classmates, Karen (Garlock) Etling, Bob Tschetter, Jon Nelson and Frank Griebenow (now deceased), decided to plan a class reunion to celebrate the school's history. That was in 2011 at Withrow Ballroom, when 500 people attended. Five years later, the group is organizing another All-Class Reunion for June 17, again at Withrow Ballroom. For details and ticket information, find the Mariner Reunion Facebook page or visit www. marinerallclassreunion.mvevent.com.

Bears track teams benefit from former Gophers BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
There’s a lot of maroon-and-gold mixed with the orange-and-black of the White Bear Lake track teams. Three former Minnesota Gopher track athletes were already longtime members of the Bears coaching staff, and former Gopher women’s cross country and track coach Gary Wilson joined this year as a volunteer. “The girls on the team really enjoy having Coach Wilson on the staff, and have really warmed up to him,” said Patti Percival, who ran for Wilson with the Gophers, graduating in 1988. Percival coaches the Bears distance runners and is also girls cross country head coach. Cathy Huggett, a hurdler and sprinter for the Gophers, graduating in 1983, is in charge of girl hurdlers with the Bears. White Bear Lake graduate Tyler McCormick, a high-jumper for the Gophers, graduating in 1998, coaches the Bears’ long-, triple- and high-jumpers. They are all assistants under girls head coach Richard Samuelson. Track is one of White Bear Lake’s strongest programs, year after year. Wilson, currently retired in Stillwater, cheerfully makes it clear that he is a volunteer coach.

“I told them, no money for me. That way, if I want to go to Ireland, I can, like I just did,” said Wilson, who visited the Emerald Isle in late March. Wilson coached the Gophers for 28 years, retiring in 2014. From 2007 through 2009 his cross country teams won two Big Ten titles (the first two in school history) and three Midwest Region titles. He was part of four Big Ten championships in track-and-field (2006-09), for which he was head coach until switching to an assistant role in 2007. He was named Big Ten and Midwest Region Coach of the Year twice in cross country and once in track. Wilson is regarded as one of the country’s foremost authorities in distance training, according to his bio on the Gophers website. “He greatly changed the culture and the success of the women's program at the U of M,” Percival said. So, how did a high school track team land a coach with his pedigree? Well, they just asked. Percival remained close friends with Wilson through the years, while her husband Dave had been big help to him in running the huge annual Roy Griak Invitational. Both were also assistant coaches to Wilson for a time. Percival made the invitation to Wilson. He accepted, suggesting that he “just help out wherever you need me” rather than being assigned to any particular events. That was fine with the Bears. Wilson is impressed by the staff he joined. “They’re great,” he said. “These people could coach any college team in the country.” When they were Gophers, the Bear assistant coaches were standouts. Percival (she was Patti Walsh then), a Mounds View native, was a Gopher captain in both cross country (two years) and track. In Big Ten meets, her best cross country finish was 15th and her best track placements in the 5,000 were fifth indoor and seventh outdoor. A physical education teacher, Percival was academic all-

Big Ten and got the school’s Patty Berg Award in 1987. McCormick, who teaches world languages at his alma mater, had a 6-8 personal-best high jump with the Bears, then soared past seven feet with the University. His 7-3 jump indoors ranks No. 7 all-time with the Gophers and his 7-2 leap outdoors is tied for ninth. Huggett, currently sidelined from coaching as she recuperates from breast cancer treatment, earned an All-America honor with the Gophers as part of a 4x800 team that placed third in the NCAA. Her 400-meter hurdles personal-best (60 seconds) still ranks No. 8 all time with the Gophers. “Not bad, considering I ran it in 1983,” she reflects. At Stillwater High, she placed third in the state in the 400 dash and second in the mile relay. Huggett coached track at Mahtomedi while her children were in school, then joined a family-owned business as an accountant. She “really missed” coaching, though, and when Samuelson bumped into her one day and asked her to help with hurdlers, she worked it out with her company. “Now I am back doing what I love,” said Huggett.

Walk-off homer caps Century’s drive to region championship and another state trip BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Century College’s march to the Region 13 championship was dramatically capped by a walk-off homer on Monday, May 25. Otherwise, it was all pitching and defense — including 52 strikeouts against just five walks, and one error in the tournament — that propelled the Wood Ducks (33-12) to four straight regional wins, as they earned their fourth nationals trip in five years. Keegan Macemon, sidelined much of the season with a knee injury, blasted the tie-breaking home run in the last of the ninth for a 3-2 victory over Riverland at Municipal Stadium in St. Cloud. “Keegan missed most of the season, since our Florida trip, and just got back
for regionals,” said coach Dwight Kotila about the sophomore from Hutchinson. “That was a nice way to end it.” Drew Prange was named outstanding player of the tournament. The freshman shortstop from Ankenny, Iowa, hit .429 (6-for-14) with a homer, seven runs and three RBI’s. The Wood Ducks opened with Zach Rustad, sophomore left-hander from Blaine, firing a five-hitter with 13 strikeouts and no walks in a 5-1 win over Riverland. Ryan Hennen, freshman lefty from Cold Spring, twirled a four-hit shutout with 14 strikeouts and no walks as the Wood Ducks topped Rainy River 4-0. Josh Gaworski, sophomore righthander from Mounds View, took the mound next, and went 7 1/3 innings in leading a 7-3 win over Ridgewater,
striking out nine. Ethan Freese, freshman from Osceola, Wis., got the last five outs, two by strikeout. Garrett Hohn, freshman right-hander from Wausau, Wis., threw the first 7 2/3 innings in the finals, striking out three and walking four in a tight game. Zach Walz, the team’s closer, got the last four outs, and credit for the win after Macemon’s homer Other than Prange, who was 6-for-10 in the first three games and 0-for-4 in the finals, nobody had a big tournament at the plate. “Pitching and defense is how we win,” said Kotila. Walz, sophomore outfielder from Grand Forks who doubles as the closer, leads in batting average with .421 and
in runs with 43. Scott Finberg, freshman third baseman from Stillwater, leads with seven home runs. Prange has three homers and leads with 42 runs-batted-in. The starting rotation carries most of the pitching load as Hennen has an 8-0 mark, Rusted 6-1, Hohn 5-1, and Gaworski 5-5. “Josh has pitched with tough luck this year, not much run support,” said Kotila. “He was 9-0 last year.” The Wood Ducks will start nationals Saturday in Greenville, Tennessee. The eight-team, double-elimination tournament will be set up Wednesday. In previous nationals, Century placed second in 2013, fourth in 2015 and fifth in 2016. They are ranked No. 7, with Cumberland, N.J., ranked first.
WHITE BEAR SPORTS CAPSULES Bear tennis gets section upset and finished 10-5 White Bear Lake tennis pulled off a 4-3 upset of Centennial in Section 4AA before falling in the semifinals to top-seeded Mounds View 7-0 and finishing duals with a 10-5 record. The Bears were 4-4 in the Suburban East Conference, and beat St. Paul Washington 7-0 in the first round of sectionals last Tuesday. Seeded fifth, the Bears nipped No. 4 Centennial (14-5) on Thursday. The score was 3-3 before Garrett Cain won in the third set at No. 2 singles for the clincher. Also earning points were Cooper Anderson at No. 1 singles, Bennett King/James Williams at No. 1 doubles, and Nate Wilke/Charle Sass at No. 3 doubles. Anderson, a sophomore, has a 13-2 record at No. 1 singles, losing only to a pair of ranked players.
Bear pitcher picked for all-state baseball series White Bear Lake pitcher Jack Rogowski has been selected for the state coaches association all-star series, Bear coach Matt McGlothlin announced. Rogowski, senior right-hander, has a 0.81 ERA and 2-2 record with only three earned runs allowed in 26 innings and 15 strikeouts. He shut out Woodbury 2-0, beat Cretin-Derham Hall 4-2 and lost to Park 1-0 while allowing only two hits and an unearned run. The all-star series will be held June 22-24 in Chaska.
Park trips Bears in boys lacrosse; they share SEC crown White Bear Lake’s bid for a solo championship in boys lacrosse was thwarted by Park of Cottage Grove on Tuesday evening. The Wolfpack dominated the second half and beat the Bears 11-6 in White Bear Lake. The two teams tied for first place in the Suburban East, each with a 7-1 conference record. Park’s conference loss came against Stillwater 13-6. Stillwater and Cretin-Derham Hall each finished 6-2. White Bear Lake (9-4), riding an eight-game win streak, led 3-1 at halftime. The Wolfpack caught fire in the second half. Kyle Preslaski opened the scoring with his team-leading 31st goal for the Bears. Jack McKeague tallied two goals and Jacob Declare, Jared Lueck and Jace Goudreau one each. The Bears will start Section 4 playoffs on June 1.

Ambulance service gets rate hike WHITE BEAR LAKE — Expect to pay more for ambulance service. An ambulance ride for basic life support will cost a patient $1,195 as of May 1. Those requiring advanced life support will pay $1,575 and a patient needing major advanced life support, $1,720. City Finance Director Don Rambow said service fees charged to patients, referred to as transports, need to cover operational and capital equipment, including a new plan to alleviate pressure on paidon-call staff. Calls for service have continued to rise, he told members of the City Council at its May 23 meeting. In 2016, public safety responded to 2,640 emergency medical calls, or an average of eight calls per day; a 50 percent jump from the year 2000. According to Rambow, a typical transport requires two to three crew members; some require four. That means the department is using 24 to 32 members a day to answer daily calls. Historically, the ambulance service has relied on its paid-on-call personnel. Over time, this is proving more and more challenging as demands grow and commitments of department members evolve. In 2014, the fire department hired two full-time ambulance crews for daytime shifts at each station. Last year, 43 percent of the calls for emergency service were during the full-time shifts, leaving 56 percent of the calls outside of those hours. Response time dropped significantly with the full-time crews.
Current response time averaged 5:52 (5 minutes, 52 seconds), while paid-on-call response time was 8:32. The industry standard is to reach a call in less than 10:59. Providing staff during hours when full-time crews are not on duty should improve response times even more and alleviate stress on paid-oncall personnel. The city is implementing a program that pays two emergency medical service staff an hourly rate for a 12-hour shift. Department members can sign up for one or two shifts per month. Paramedic duty staff would be paid $23 per hour and EMT’s would receive $18. They would stay at the station during their paid shift. The program will cost the city about $95,000 a year. Rambow explained to council that in order to provide sufficient revenues to meet current operational requirements and to provide resources for duty shift assignments, transport fees must be adjusted. Another part of the increase comes from the fact 70 percent of 2016 transports are Medicare/ Medicaid customers. Those reimbursements have remained flat, Rambow said, which means the city writes off from $500 to $700 per transport. Because most transports are Medicare/Medicaid insured, 31 percent of the ambulance service provides 53 percent of the operational revenue. Old rates were $850 for basic life support; $1,120 for advance and $1,180 for major advance life support. The new rates were approved by council.

Midwest Ski Otters plan new summer show
To dog park users: The city is watching WHITE BEAR LAKE — City Manager Ellen Richter said the city is tracking comments regarding the dog beach at Matoska Park. Signs have been posted regarding new rules for canines and their owners, she told City Council at its May 23 meeting. “This is a trial summer,” Richter noted. She indicated staff and commission/ council members are internally logging their observations and keeping emails regarding the beach. The city will be evaluating use of the dog park in the fall. In other business May 23, the City Council: • Authorized acquisition of 3695 St. Regis Drive for Habitat for Humanity. The city purchased the home for 25 percent of its $100,000 value from Ramsey County on the condition it be used for affordable housing. Ramsey County commissioners approved a grant request for $26,000 so there will be no cost to the city. • Approved on-sale liquor license for Mizu Japanese restaurant, 4475 Lake Ave. S. Owners are planning a June opening. • Approved on-sale liquor license for Lakeshore Players Theatre. • Approved a gambling manager at the American Legion Post 168. Michael Martens expects to assume this position July 1. • Heard additional communications from the city manager. Richter noted there were 11 responses to a request for proposals involving a new city attorney. Those proposals are being reviewed with the goal of announcing a fi nalist at the second City Council meeting in June. Richter said the city was “pleased with the response.” Longtime city attorney Roger Jensen is retiring. The police department is currently shopping for body cameras. Three officers will be demonstrating their use. The city will also have a policy in place regarding use of body cameras before making a purchase. The police department's bike sale raised $2,100. Proceeds will be split with the Rotary Club. The White Bear Lake department plans to use its money for a bike rodeo on June 17. Debra Neutkens
Get ready to get your groove on as the Midwest Ski Otters take you back in time to when the Bee Gees were king and bell bottoms were far-out fashion. Most Sundays this summer spectators can watch the action unfold at Studio 61 as the guys and gals try to impress the crowd and strut their stuff both on (and high above) the liquid dance floor. Before the disco ball falls, audience members will have a chance to cheer on their favorite dancers as they compete at the end of the night in the ultimate dance-off to determine who will be crowned the king of Studio 61. Show skiing comprises all the water sport disciplines into a fully choreographed production including music, announcing, costumes, dancing and, of course, every form of waterskiing you can imagine including pyramids, ballet lines, jumping, barefooting, doubles, wakeboarding and other acts you need to see in order to believe. The ski shows are free to the public, but donations are encouraged to help offset the costs of the show. All of the team members are volunteers and the team relies on the generosity of its sponsors and crowds to continue putting high-quality family entertainment on the water. The Ski Otters are a nonprofit group founded in 1995. They offer waterski lessons for all levels from beginner to professional and have several different programs throughout the summer. If

Superintendent comes to the end of the storybook
YOU SHOULD KNOW:
BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The superintendent who swung on the swings, played in the band and read storybooks to over 500 classes will say goodbye to the school hallways this summer. White Bear Lake Area Schools Superintendent Michael Lovett said one of the most fun parts of his job was reading to elementary students. Every February for about a decade he has read storybooks to 60 to 70 classes during I Love to Read Month. “The students remember from year to year what I've read the year before,” Lovett said. A recent memorable moment was when he joined the sixth-grade band and played the marimba. A student told him not to worry and just pretend he was playing if he didn't know what to do, he remembered. Lovett said he jumps in with students because he wants to help them be comfortable with taking risks in learning. “One of the things that is wonderful about being in schools is students give you credit for being a learner,” Lovett said. “When the adults in their lives stretch themselves and challenge themselves, they like that because you are learning right along with them. And that is true for teachers and administrators. We don't have to be perfect. We don't have to get it right the first time. We are like the students — we love learning and we want to continue to stretch ourselves and challenge ourselves.” Willow Lane Elementary Principal Chris Streiff said Lovett knows the names of students when he comes to visit and even swings with them on the playground. The school dedicated a willow tree in his honor last week at its new community gar-

ka Public Schools for 20 years. He also worked at the Minnesota Department of Education as head of research and statistics for a time. What drew him to work for White Bear Lake Area Schools was the sense of community, he said. Working with the district's various partners throughout the community over the last years, he has seen how the area works together on behalf of all families. “A school is a community, and we are very fortunate in White Bear Lake that there are many adults that want to be part of that community,” he noted. “There is a realization in this community that if students are successful many of them are going to continue to invest in this community and they will be the next generation of job creators, of employees, (and) that they will be giving back to the community that has helped them. That is a very strong ethic in this community.” Lovett said his retirement is a “sabbatical.” “It is a break before I decide what to do next,” he said. Lovett has taught at the University of Minnesota in a graduate program since 1980 and will continue to do so after he retires from White Bear Lake Area Schools, he said. He also writes for a national education publication and sits on two boards — the Twin Cities General Board of the YMCA and the Minnesota Private College Board. He also plans to spend more time with his four children and one grandchild, he said. His children are spread across the country in New York, Tampa, Denver and San Francisco.

den, she added. South Campus Principal Tim Wald, the incoming assistant superintendent for finance and operations, said Lovett remembers a lot about students. “Dr. Lovett always kept his priority on the student experience and remembered students by name and would walk into any building in our school district and call students by name and share a memory with them,” Wald said. Lovett said the essence of education is developing a love of learning in students. “It's important for us to recognize each child is different,” he noted. “We want them all to love to read, to love math and feel like they are good and confident in it. But we also recognize some students will also love art, or to sing, or to play an instrument, to run or to play sports.” In addition to visiting students and teachers, Lovett spends a lot of time working with the public, such as commu-
