BOATING SAFETY: Intoxicated person rescued from the lake PAGE 7A

Little Bar no more Now closed, new owners plan extensive remodel for July opening BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Early summer sweet spot Ashley Kockelman and Keith High enjoyed ice cream treats while taking in the evening view over White Bear Lake Thursday, June 2 from a couple of the Adirondack rocking chairs lining the boardwalk near the city marina. They were part of a noticeable spike in activity on and around the lake that corresponded to nearly perfect weather conditions last week.

Members of the Ski Otters are the new owners of Don's Little Bar. Only it won't be called The Little Bar anymore. The new name on the new sign of the newly remodeled restaurant and bar will be Cabin 61. Dan Laughlin, a longtime member of the waterski club and silent partner in the venture, said the mostly female group wanted a venue for banquets and a place to eat after ski shows on Little Goose Lake. Plans call for an extensive makeover both inside and out with a large patio for outdoor seating. They chose the name, he said, due to the proximity of Highway 61 and the fact there were cabins on the lake in the 1940s. Patrons of Don's Little Bar at 4150 Hoffman Road will be pleased to know the new owners retained rights to intellectual property, Laughlin said, so the Wimpy burgers will remain on the menu. "We want to keep the family feel going, and food is a big part," Laughlin noted. "We're not looking to change what they've done there." Laughlin, a Realtor with Rich's Realty in Champlin, brokered the deal, which closed June 1. His father, Mark Laughlin, also has ties to White Bear Lake; he was general manager of the Best Western Country Inn for about a decade. Co-owners are Melissa Martini Laughlin, Dan's wife; Kristie Skillings; Carrie Berg; Lindsey Carpenter and Paul Rumpza, the only non-Ski Otter in the partnership. SEE NEW OWNERS, PAGE 8A

Beach to remain closed For the eighth straight year, the beach at Ramsey County Park will remain closed this summer. Despite a slight rise in lake level since last year, the county feels it is still unsafe to operate the beach, noted Jennifer Fink, recreation services supervisor for Ramsey County. Fink provided a chart of historical lake levels from the Department of Natural Resources that shows a lake level close to 923 feet at each of the â€œopening daysâ€? of 2007 and 2008. "As summer progresses, there is an inevitable seasonal drop that occurs," Fink said. "At this time, because of that anticipated drop

in level, the county feels it is still unsafe to operate Ramsey County Beach. The lake needs to come up significantly in order for us to open." A figure provided previously by the county Parks and Recreation Department show a preferred level of 924.75 feet for the beach to open, although Fink said a specific water level has not been identified. "I would agree with that specific level," she said. "It makes sense based on what I have seen on site and the historical numbers." The lake is currently at 921.95 feet. Debra Neutkens

Bald Eagle island still in limbo; deal not closed BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Permits for 1 Bald Eagle Island remain at the township office awaiting payment and pickup. Town Clerk Bill Short said the applicant, Hans Stachowiak, has six months from the April 4 date of approval to pay for the permits, which were renewed after expiring Jan. 5. At that time, the applicant failed to pay $4,100 for the CUP and $1,500 for a building permit by the deadline and had to reapply, going through the whole public hearing process again. This time around, the tab is $4,100 for the home remodel building permit and $1,500 for an accessory structure. The conditional use permit fee was not available at press time, as the township was still processing invoices.

SUBMITTED

The album cover featuring Stasan (Hans Stachowiak) was shot in Monument Valley, Arizona. On his website, Stasan describes himself as a world citizen and not a typical artist. He grew up in Germany, it read, where he played his first public concert at the age of 14. He first surfaced regarding purchase of the island in 2012.

The applicant plans to build a recording studio on the island,

plus make other changes to the existing house and septic sys-

tem, which require a CUP. Forward motion on the project has stalled, likely due to two issues: • The property has not closed between buyer and seller. Current owners are Nick and Jane Van Brunt, who live in Hawaii. • A condition set by the Town Board as part of the conditional use permit (CUP) requires Stachowiak provide a cash escrow or surety bond. The township would use the funds to remove any structure that goes unoccupied for more than a year. Stachowiak’s attorney, Chris Sandberg, spoke to the Town Board at its May 20 executive meeting explaining that there are not bonds or insurance securities available in perpetuity (an annuity that continues indefinitely). Short agreed that it seems impractical to make someone responsible for guaran-

teeing $100,000 forever. The board is not inclined to change the condition at this time, Short said, but will consider other options. Sandberg asked the supervisors to consider a five-year bond or escrow that can be renewed. No decision has been made on his request. Meanwhile, Megabien Entertainment, of which Stachowiak is CEO, sent out a press release announcing the release of a debut album, “A Long Way,” by singer-songwriter Stasan. Stasan is Stachowiak’s stage name. The announcement indicated the rock album was officially released during a VIP event May 20 at a private winery near the French village Vaison La Romaine. The event was followed, according to stasanmusic.com, by the official CD release concert May 21.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Governor signs bill Gov. Mark Dayton signed 19 bills into law May 31, including SF2527, the bill providing $150,000 to the Department of Natural Resources commissioner to solicit three design-build quotations for augmenting White Bear Lake.

Library hosts presentation on father's rights The Washington County Law Library invites the public to attend a presentation “Father’s Rights for Unmarried Fathers” 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 8 at the Wildwood Library, 763 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi. The program is aimed at educating single fathers. Registration is required. Every child has a biological father, but not every child has a "legal" father. Under Minnesota law, if a child's mom and dad are not married to each other when the child is born, the dad is not recognized as the "legal" father until someone takes legal steps to establish his paternity. He has no legal rights to the child even if he is financially supporting the child and his name is on the child's birth certificate. Until a temporary or permanent order is entered granting custody to another, the

The problem is growing Drug use among teenagers is frightening

HAT PROMPTS YOUNG people, or adults as well, to get involved with addictive drugs? This is a growing problem in our communities and, unfortunately, across the nation. As I visit with people, I have been asking the same questions. What I am hearing is there is not a single answer why, but multiple reasons. For some, it’s free money. People acquire drugs and start pedaling them. It’s very profitable. Prescription drugs are fraudulently distributed. With so many regulations and security of drugs by pharmacists, drugs are still getting into the marketplace. According to our pharmacist Jim Polucho at the Medicine Chest, some who are using pain medicaAbout the people tions get refills and sell a portion of them. It’s easy money. Prescription Town drug abuse is the fastest growing Gene Johnson drug problem in the nation. This is not getting at the root cause. For many teens, it’s peer pressure. For some it’s experimenting. For others it’s for a feel good experience, or to relieve stress. Minnesota’s top prescription drug dispensed in March of 2014 was 108,498 hydrocodone with acetaminophen. The second most dispensed drug was oxycodone HCL with 87,999 dispensed. Some blame the parents who are not aware of what their children are doing or the friends they are with. Some teens feel the stress and problems of home and they want to escape so they turn to drugs. There is a lot of education taking place in our school systems, online and in churches, but the problem escalates. Illicit drugs are distributed and sold within Minnesota by Mexican drug trafficking organizations, street gangs, independent entrepreneurs, and other criminal organizations. Heroin and other opiates continue to escalate in the Twin Cities according to the 2013 report by Community Epidemiology Work groups. Heroin accounted for a record high of 14 percent of treatment admissions and most of the young patients reportedly initially used prescription opiates before progressing to heroin addiction. Meth related treatment admissions have also been rising in the Twin Cities since 2009 and account for 10 percent of total admissions. Urgent care department visits from cocaine has declined from 2004 to 2011. In the same period marijuana and heroin have increased significantly. It you take into consideration drug and alcohol abuse in 2013, alcohol represented 40 percent in addiction treatment programs, 15 percent for marijuana, 14 percent for heroin, 10 percent for meth and 9 percent for other opiates. Cocaine was at 4 percent. Some suggest that our society has been adverse to pain. The solution, just pop a pill. Maybe you have gone through a surgery or have a back injury and got started on a pain killer that is addictive. I know from knee surgery, it’s easy to take the pain away and then to use a pain pill occasionally for arthritic back pain. We need to be aware of the harmful effects to our bodies of any and all drugs. When it comes to meth, it doesn’t take very long to become hooked, become out of control and do anything to have resources to purchase more. One mother told me what her father always taught her, “The friends you keep will determine the trouble you meet.” Proverbs 13:20 “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” We need to recognize that we are all uniquely created and wired and do not need to look any differently than we are and to build solid friendships with people we can look to as mentors. In a recent sermon by Jason Anderson at Eagle Brook, we learned that true friendship centers around commonality, loyalty, generosity and encouragement. I encourage you to assess this serious concern taking place in our society with your family. Discuss it, find out what your kids think and the reason why. Find a friend or a young person to encourage. All of us need encouragement. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus, Press Publications.

A reader’s guide to understanding high school seniors

“

What are your plans for next year?” How often do high school seniors hear this question, especially when they are on the social circuit of graduation open houses and neighborhood gatherings? A dozen times a day? The questions were so much easier in grade school: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” or “What do you want to when you get Movers & do older?” One day the answer might Shakers be marine bioloMichael Lovett gist or firefighter, and the next day, teacher, veterinarian, or zoo keeper. Back then, any answer seemed to work. Even if it was borrowed from a friend. But for high school seniors, the question matters more, and so does the answer. But the real pressure is not the question or the answer, but comes from the kind of wide world they are entering. Think for a moment about the world of these graduates and the events and changes that have occurred in their school lifetime from 2004 to 2016 - local, national, and world events that have influenced and will influence their futures. First, when this year’s graduating class entered middle school in the fall of 2009, our economy

was scraping the bottom of the Great Recession. The national unemployment rate stood at 10 percent, and while Minnesota’s unemployment rate was lower at 8 percent, many families experienced fi nancial challenges. Thus, at a time students were making course selections for middle school and high school, being prepared for life after high school was a critical consideration. Second, during their time in school our country has been engaged in on-going international conflicts; some of our graduates know what it is like to have a dad or mom or other relative deployed. Most graduates know classmates whose family members are veterans or have been deployed. Third, local issues have also influenced student aspirations and plans. One issue all these students are aware of is the prolonged drop in water level in White Bear Lake. When this year’s graduating class was in primary school, the lake level was near its normal high. But between 2007 and 2013 (their third through ninth grades) the lake level dropped more than four and one-half feet to its lowest level in the past century. Our students are not just aware and knowledgeable about water conservation, but about resource management. When you ask questions and listen to high school seniors, think about the ‘3 Ps’ that have gone into their answers: purpose,

preparation, and persistence. Purpose represents the goals to which our graduates aspire. These have been influenced by family, our schools, faith, community, and core values of compassion, integrity, respect, responsibility, and service. Preparation represents the opportunities students have had in the White Bear Lake Area Schools to take challenging courses that prepare them to enter this challenging world. These courses include 33 college credit classes. In addition, new this past year is the Manufacturing Pathway, which prepares students to go on to higher education or to go directly into internships or to cutting-edge employment. Persistence represents the efforts and determination to pursue purpose in spite of the challenges faced along the way. For many of our students, the financial reality of college costs requires persistence and determination to find a way to follow goals one step at a time. And for all students, the interest and support of this community of adults is critical. So when you ask a graduate “What are your plans for next year?” take time to listen and to ask those follow-up questions that affi rm their purpose, preparation and persistence. Then you will be a part of their story, too. Michael Lovett, Ph.D is Superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools.

Charitable athletic events—How to stay on course

haritable athletic events—like walkathons, races, and mud runs—may allow donors to both help a good cause and have the gratiﬁcation of competing at an athletic event. But not all events are the same. Some events have high overhead, leaving little for charity. Doing your homework before participating in a charitable athletic event helps to ensure that your participation actually beneﬁts a worthy cause. So how did charitable athletic events get their start? One of the earliest events was a 1969 hunger walk. The few hundred people who participated in the walkathon raised $25,000 and raised awareness about world hunger. Since then, such events have become a mainstay of many charities’ solicitation activities. Nationwide—and in Minnesota—issues have occurred with some charitable races and athletic events. Things to pay attention to include: Low percentage of donations to charity. Athletic events can involve high costs and overhead. Organizers have to spend money to advertise and promote the events, reserve their loca-

tions, staff the courses, and for insurance, among other things. Participants may be given t-shirts, jackets, tote bags, or medals, all of which cost money. These costs reduce the amount of race fees and donations that go to a charitable purpose. For-profit events that appear to be non-profit events. Charities sometimes use for-profit organizers to run an event. The for-profit vendor Movers and may prominently use a name to proShakers charity’s mote the event, but only give a small amount of Lori Swanson money to the charity. Scammers th that provide no support S to charities. The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office recently filed a lawsuit against a Minnesota man who organized “mud runs” throughout the country. He told participants that their race fees would benefit a cancer charity for young adults. Many runners participated because they had family members with cancer. The promoter

took their race fees but gave nothing to the cancer charity. Do your homework—Check out the event to make sure your money and your “sweat equity” will help a good cause in the way you intend. Before participating, you should ask who is holding the event and how the event claims to benefit charity. There are several scenarios by which a charitable athletic event could potentially benefit charity, each with different issues: Some charities hold events to raise money to further their own charitable programs. While these charities have an incentive to hold down costs, you should still verify what percentage of your contribution is being used to hold the race, versus going toward the charity’s mission. Some charities hold events to raise money to donate to other charities. In this situation, you should find out the name of the other charity and how much money the event organizer has committed to donate. Some charities hire for-profit “professional fundraisers” to run their events. If a professional fundraiser is organiz-

ing the event, it takes a “cut” of your donation for itself. You should ask what this cut is because some professional fundraisers keep the majority of the donations they collect. Research—There are ways donors can find out more about a charity that is holding a race or other event. An organization called GuideStar makes charities’ federal tax returns—called IRS “Form 990”—available for free on its website, www.guidestar.org. Form 990 discloses how much a charity receives in donations, how much it spends on overhead and other expenses, and whether or not it uses for-profit professional fundraisers to solicit donations. You may also check if the charity has been rated by the Minnesota Charities Review Council, www.smartgivers.org. The Attorney General’s Office can answer questions and send you copies of the documents charities and professional fundraisers must file about their finances. You may contact the Attorney General’s Office by calling 651-296-3353 or 1-800-657-3787. Lori Swanson is Minnesota’s attorney general.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A thank you for students’ support On June 20, five students from Northeast Metro 916 Career and Technical Center will travel to Louisville, Kentucky to participate in the SkillsUSA National Competition. Their events will include: criminal justice, community involvement and First Aid/CPR. Their performance at the state of Minnesota competition in April propelled them to qualify at the national level. In order for these students to compete nationally, it requires not only financial support but also recognition and encouragement. I would like to recognize and thank the White Bear Lake Rotary, White Bear Lake School District, White Bear Lake American Legion Post 168 and the White Bear Lake Lions, who stepped forward with financial support for these students. I also contacted several of our state and local political representatives for recognition and encouragement of these students. They received recognition from Sen. Al Franken and Attorney General Lori Swanson. These students will be pursuing careers in law enforcement/criminal justice and one will be leaving for basic training in the Army National Guard upon her return. SkillsUSA assists student members to become world-class workers and responsible American citizens. They will do an excellent job representing themselves, Northeast Metro 916 CTC, their home high schools and the state of Minnesota. I am very proud, as their instructor during the past school year, to have had the opportunity to see them progress in their career goals and accompany them to Louisville. Mary McGuire Law Enforcement/Criminal Justice Instructor Northeast Metro 916

Bully behavior Grant Councilmen Larry Lanoux and Loren Sederstrom drove a Mahtomedi resident, Tim Dewuske, to Councilperson Tina Lobin’s water ski show (last July 30) to harass and intimidate her in front of family and friends. The Mahtomedi resident was charged with harassment in Washington County and went to court three months later on the charge. No mention of any press credentials were ever made by Dewuske, Sederstrom or Lanoux. A sharp defense lawyer thought to wrap Dewuske in the First Amendment protection that only Sederstrom’s affidavit could provide; astoundingly, on the

day of pretrial three months after the charge. One get-out-of-trouble affidavit is produced and the defendant walks scot-free, case is dismissed. How convenient! Now ask yourself the obvious, what are these two councilmen thinking, and how did they decide this was appropriate behavior for elected officials? Yet residents allow them to remain on the City Council after ordering an employee to harass another councilperson outside of city limits at a water ski show? There ought to be two apologies, two resignations and two new councilpeople. Any person with a single speck of principle would resign for this despicable behavior, which casts shame upon themselves and their city. But guiding principles, morals and gentlemanly behavior obviously don’t apply to these two. Robert Tufty Grant

State versus country I read the article in the May 25 paper written by Carter Johnson, the publisher of the White Bear Press, titled “Know Your Sources.” The first paragraph lists several foods and the countries they come from, listed are Asia, Mexico, India, Brazil and Hawaii. Really. Hawaii? I know of no stores around the area that have Hawaiian pineapple, I think Costa Rica would be more accurate. I found the mention of Hawaii in a list of foreign countries to be very offensive. The last time I checked Hawaii was part of the United States. Bev Smedstad Mahtomedi

Publishing photo was right thing In response to the letter to the editor from Cascia Berman (“Continued public shame”), good for you, White Bear Press, for publishing the surveillance photo of the shoplifting incident in White Bear Lake. Berman called it a “mistake,” and I could not disagree more. A “mistake” is forgetting to lock your front door. A “mistake” is running a stop sign. A “mistake” is driving too fast. What that thief did was not a mistake, it was a crime. Showing her face is exactly what you should have done and I applaud you for doing so. We use your paper as a teaching tool in our home and read the Cops & Courts section to our children so they know someone is always watching. Stealing is wrong. Stealing from a small business is even worse.

I don’t care if she apologized and “made amends” … sad thing is, had she gotten away with it she probably would have returned to do it again. Tamara Morett White Bear Lake

Use of word ‘slavery’ inappropriate Sara Moore used the word “slavery” to describe work in the United States. I can’t believe Ms. Moore would use the word so flippantly. Her headline is eye-catching but totally inappropriate. Equally offensive is her use of the phrase: “President Obama has freed millions of Americans from salary slavery.” If Obama wants to free people, he should start by freeing girls and women from sexual slavery in the Middle East (Yazidis held by ISIS) and girls taken by Boko Haram in Africa. Other forms of slavery exist in the world but to use the term to describe the workplace in the United States is ludicrous. People of her political persuasion make demands that many small businesses can’t afford. Imagine a dairy farmer telling his milk cows… “sorry Bossy, I can’t milk you twice a day, every day, because President Obama said I am entitled to a few days off each week for rest, relaxation and cultural enlightenment.” Ms. Moore cavalierly says: “…this may inadvertently cause some businesses to simply shut their doors…” Really! Simply shut their doors! This smug entitlement attitude tells me Ms. Moore has never taken the risk of starting a business, paying a lease, meeting payroll, obtaining licenses, withholding taxes, … taking responsibility for success. After busting your butt to make a business a success, Ms. Moore and her hero…Obama…say: “You didn’t build that business. Someone else did that for you.” Ms. Moore, you insult many small business owners with your ignorance and the improper use of the word “slavery.” Ms. Moore goes on to say: “Employers will now be faced with a choice…up the pay for the squeezing, hire more workers or become more efficient.” Of those three choices, efficient stands out. When employers are faced with an unappreciative attitude or crippling demands, You can bet there will be more robots, 3-D printers, voice recognition and artificial intelligence devices that will work 24 hours a day without demanding overtime. Even editors will be replaced some day and we won’t need to hear them whine about being a… slave. David E. Wolff DDS White Bear Township

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's office reported the following incidents:

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A clerk at the BP station on County Road E at I-35E was fooled for a second time. On May 13 the suspect, described as a black male in his 40s, claimed he was shorted $20 in change regarding a gas purchase. Earlier in the month the quick-change scam involved payment for scratch-off tickets. The clerk verified each swindle when counting up receipts and purchases at day’s end. An investigation continues. • A man was pronounced dead the evening of May 27 at a townhome in the 4300 block of Centerville Road. Occupants had called 911 when they discovered the man was not breathing. Paramedics attempted chest compressions at 6:30 p.m. but it was to no avail and the 33-yearold from Hastings was pronounced dead 45 minutes later. Meth and marijuana were reportedly found on the man, and according to the townhome occupants, the victim had allegedly used those substances in the past. No foul play is suspected, but the official cause of death awaits the medical examiner’s report following an autopsy. • Deputies responded to a call May 27 regarding

dumpster divers behind the “Smart Carte” business in the 400 block of Oak Grove Parkway. A 55-year-old diver, still in the dumpster, claimed he had the owner’s permission to be in there. A 55-year-old woman in a van on the scene was wanted on a “second-degree receiving stolen property” charge. Also in the van were a 25-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman who was arrested on a felony warrant. The two women were soon on their way to jail and, after the business owner was contacted and said no one had permission to be in the dumpster, all four parties were “trespassed” from the property. • The worst part of a barbecue is the cleanup, and that’s what was happening just before midnight on May 30. Neighbors heard screaming, crying and banging in the County Road D apartment and someone called 911. The 37-year-old husband, who actually lives in Roseville, admitted slapping his 34-year-old wife following the party. He was charged with domestic assault, fi fth-degree assault and disorderly conduct and booked into the Ramsey County Jail.

Court. An investigation deemed the report “unfounded.” • A Hugo Road man reported a fraudulent transaction that occurred May 26 when he purchased a boat that had been advertised on Craigslist, later learning the boat had been stolen. The good Samaritan contacted the victim and returned the boat. He would now like to recover what he paid for the craft, and an investigation is underway. • Deputies often don’t know what awaits them when responding to a call — although in this case the ending can only be called heartwarming. A fawn had become helplessly stuck in the mud May 30 in a ditch behind an apartment complex on Aspen Lane, near Deer Meadow Park. Deputies freed the uninjured youngster and he, or she, was quickly on its way into the park. • Responding to a disturbance call May 31 on Stacker Place, deputies checked on a man planning to head out. He was actually heading for jail after a routine check revealed the 18-yearold out of Hugo was wanted on a felony assault with a fi rearm charge in St. Paul.

Intoxicated person rescued from White Bear Lake WHITE BEAR LAKE – An intoxicated male was rescued from White Bear Lake about 10:30 p.m. June 5. The male was heard screaming by a passerby, who reported it to the White Bear Lake Police Department. “[They] reported they could hear near the Manitou Island bridge a male screaming for help,” said Captain Dale Hager. The man was rescued by officers from a marshy part of the lake. He was intoxicated and uncooperative with officers, said Randy Gustafson,with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. It was not clear how he had fallen out of a boat, and said he had been riding with two other people. Officers didn't know whether or not the other boaters may be in trouble as well, said Gustafson. The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office and the White Bear Lake Fire Department deployed boats to search for the two other people. A state helicopter was deployed as well. Public safety officials later learned the two additional boaters had already docked the boat and left the area. “Fortunately there weren't any drownings and there weren't any injuries,” said Gustafson. As boating season kicks into full gear, Gustafson asks boaters to be safe. “Don't drink and boat,” he said. “Wear those personal flotation devices. That is the law. You need to either be wearing them or have them handy in case you fall out of the boat. Follow boating safety and have a good time.”

Two men ﬁsh near Manitou Island bridge Monday morning. The area was the scene of a water rescue Sunday night.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Burglar placed on 20 years of probation Andrew Hyde of White Bear Lake was given 20 years of probation for first-degree burglary of a residence on Woodland Drive in Mahtomedi May 6, 2015. Hyde entered the residence through a kitchen window that was open about 2 inches, the complaint read. The homeowner had fallen asleep on the couch and awoke to a noise in the kitchen. He confronted Hyde with a handgun, to which Hyde said “I'm sorry man, I will leave and never come back. You don't know what it is like to be poor.” The suspect fled when the homeowner's wife went to call 911. Hyde had moved two glass cups in the kitchen to enter the house through the window. Fingerprints analyzed by the BCA (Bureau of Criminal Apprehension) identified Hyde as the suspect of the burglary. Hyde was given a stay of execution for 21 months. If he keeps the conditions of his probation, he will have no additional time to serve in jail. His jail time is 180 days with 153 days credit. Conditions include: no use of alcohol, no use of drugs, random testing, chemical dependency evaluation, no contact order with victims, psychological exam, follow all recommendations as tailored and directed by probation officer, submit DNA and remain law abiding.

tigation. It is unknown whether the car was running when it caught fire, said Vadnais. The White Bear Lake Police Department is still investigating whether the cause of the fire could be criminal or not. “We believe the car was owned by a visitor to one of the residences in the area, not by a resident,” said Captain Dale Hager. “It is still under investigation.”

Electrical ﬁre causes group home evacuation A group home near Highway 96 and Otter Lake Road had an electrical fire in the afternoon June 2. “I believe it resulted from a ceiling fan in the bathroom,” said Joel Hewitt, assistant fire chief. There is an estimated $30,000 in damage. All occupants of

the group home, including a resident in a wheelchair, escaped unharmed, according to group home staff Emily Peterson.

Bar staff douse car ﬁre A car started on fire while being driven by the White Bear Bar, near the intersection of Fourth Street and Highway 61, in the afternoon June 2. Staff at the White Bear Bar jumped to the scene and put out the fire with an extinguisher and pitchers of water before police or fire responders arrived. The two occupants of the car escaped unharmed.

Car burns by school on Memorial Day A Buick Century started on fire at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Crown Hill Court, across the street from Matoska International School, May 30. No one was in the car when it caught fire at about 7:20 a.m., said Tim Vadnais, fire chief of the White Bear Lake Fire Department. There were no injuries. “The car was fully engulfed when they got there,” Vadnais said. The cause of the fire is still under inves-

Private sports leadership school moving in BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — Gentry Academy is building a new school and relocating next to the Vadnais Sports Center. The school, currently located near the Blaine Sports Center, focuses on sports development, leadership and academics. The school has about 40 students in fifth to eighth grade. It hopes to expand to 200 students in fifth to 12th grade in the future. It opened in 2014. The school will use the Vadnais Sports Center for its sports focus. So far, the sports focus has been on a hockey elective, but the new location at the Vadnais Heights Sports Center will create more options. “We are just really excited about the new building and the new campus,” said Jennifer Kurth, education director. “We think it will be a great fit.” “This next year we are adding more sports — lacrosse, golf and dance,” she said. “We have so many more opportunities with the field house there as well as the ice.” The sports elective is built into the school day and is part of what is called WIN (What I Need) time. Each student can choose a sport or an academic area to focus on for two hours of the day.

“WIN is a two-hour block of time where students can choose to do what they want to do,” said Kurth. “The other half of the day is four core classes — language, math, science and social studies.” All of its academic teachers are licensed and its sports instructors “have just amazing credentials,” said Kurth. “Our entire staff is just amazing.” Gentry Academy also plans to expand in its extracurricular

sports involvement. “We plan to be part of the State High School League,” said owner Tami Lucius, a mom of two hockey players. The school also emphasizes leadership and each student has a mentor. “We are a true leadership academy,” said Lucius. “Part of the reason we started the school is that we thought schools were just missing the boat on teaching students to

own their education,” said Kurth. Students are taught how to organize their time and hold conferences with their teachers. They also hold homework meetings with their parents. “They learn to talk with an adult and ask for what they need,” said Kurth. The school’s name — Gentry — is meant to portray the school’s “higher class” and leadership components, said Kurth. “The definition is just who we

want our students to be.” Tuition is $13,500 for players and $16,000 for goalies for the 2016-2017 school year. “I’m really proud of what we do,” said Kurth. Gentry Academy will be located on the northwest lot of the Vadnais Sports Complex, 1420 County Road E. The building will be three stories and a total of 30,000 square feet.

NEW OWNERS: Restaurant on Goose Lake will be renamed Cabin 61 FROM PAGE 1A

Proceeds from a legal gambling operation will go the Ski Otters, which also operates pull tabs at Houlihan's in White Bear Lake. The White Bear Lake Lions Club was asked to vacate the bar, so that group is looking for a new home for its pull-tab operation (see sidebar). The restaurant is now closed for the remodeling with plans to open in early July. Tentative hours are 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. seven days a week. Kitchen and management personnel will be hired to run the business. Little Bar co-owner Mike Hardwick wouldn't say what the selling price was, but "it wasn't enough to

retire." He plans to take a couple months off and relax, he said. "I haven't had a vacation in 35 years. After that, I don't know. I'll see what I want to do when I grow up." The bar had been for sale since last September. The 13 rental units on the property will stay. Hardwick said the efficiency apartments are always occupied, with little turnover. The brothers have owned the business since 2008 when they bought it from their father, Don. He bought it in 1998. According to the abstract, there has been a business on the 2.8acre parcel since 1858.

PULL TABS WERE LUCRATIVE FOR LIONS The White Bear Lake Lions are looking for a new pull tab home. They come with plenty of experience. When Don’s Little Bar sold June 1, the Lions pull tab booth had already been moved out. Lion Jim Francis, the group’s gambling manager, said they received 30 days notice on May 1 to vacate the bar on Little Goose Lake. “We are leaving on good terms,” noted Francis, who added there was a bit of irony in the fact they’re leaving since the Lions replaced the Ski Otters at the Hoffman Road bar and restaurant six years ago. The spot was a good one for the Lions, who earned $20,000 to $25,000 a month on pull tabs and bingo. They also lease legal gambling space at Bear Town Lounge and the 617 Lounge. Lion Francis said he’s going to miss the Little Bar, but wishes only goodwill to the new owners. The group will be actively looking for a new site, he said, and wants bar and restaurant owners to know “if we’re there, you’ll make money. We employ 10 people at a site and we help the bar owners.” To contact Lion Francis about harboring the White Bear organization’s gambling operation, email him at jfrancis777@hotmail.com.

Bill Rust purchased the old First National Bank building in 2008 for his downtown architecture firm. He commissioned a small plaque to note its historical significance.

The First National Bank at 4744 Washington Square was described in 1921 as a "distinguished-looking stone building designed by architect C.E. Van Kirk. The front is of rug texture face brick trimmed with Dunville stone, and a small portion of red Spanish tile roof. The pediment is enriched with heavy carving in Dunville and Bedford stone, depicting the fruits and products of the state in the horn of plenty, surmounted by a large white bear which is the emblem of the bank. “The interior of the bank was finished throughout with marble and mahogany." The bear is long gone, but the exterior of the old bank is largely unchanged. Today, it is the home of Rust Architects and the first commercial building in White Bear Lake to be listed on the

Minnesotans get proactive to stop emerald ash borer BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

WHITE BEAR LAKE – According to arborists Justin Bence and Nate Shaw of Davey Tree Expert Company, you never really know whether or not your tree is infested with the invasive beetle emerald ash borer (EAS). In the spring, the beetle enters its breeding season, and the effects of infestation may be more visible in neighborhood trees as the greenery—or lack of—begins to show. Eleven Minnesota counties, including Anoka, Ramsey and Washington, currently have a quarantine in place to prevent the spread of EAB. The quarantine bans the transport of any EAB insects, all wood or parts taken from ash trees and even firewood made from any hardwood tree from crossing county borders in an effort to control the swiftly spreading pest. Ash trees are prevalent in Minnesota, especially because they flourish in this climate and are good low-maintenance shade trees. They were a popular choice for replanting common areas after Dutch elm disease decimated the elm population, Shaw said. Now that EAB is beginning to eradicate local ash trees, maple is a common choice for public spaces and residential areas. However, choosing many different kinds of trees to plant rather than just one or two will ultimately be the best protection for tree health. “Tree variety is very important,” Bence said. “You don't see many varieties, but they're defi nitely beneficial to have.”

As homeowners and cities begin to replace the damaged ash trees, Bence recommended maple, honey locust, hackberry and swamp white oak as a few potential replacements. There are three major signs that strongly indicate the presence of EAB: dying branches (especially high in the canopy), damage from woodpeckers that are seeking the EAB larva for a good meal and new green sprouts along the lower trunk, known as water sprouts, trunk sprouts or sucker growth. These lower sprouts indicate that the tree cannot provide nutrients to its higher branches, likely from blockage caused by EAB larva. EAB is undiscriminating when it comes to selecting trees to attack—the health of the tree is irrelevant to the beetle, which sets it apart from other native beetles species that feed on ash trees. This is a huge part of what makes the infestation so devastating, especially in Minnesota's ash-friendly climate. “Emeral ash borer attacks healthy trees. Native borers only go after trees that are stressed,” Shaw said. This is an especially tricky year to be dealing with EAB, which was fi rst discovered in Minnesota in 2009, Shaw said. “Trends in previous cities showed that the damage was minimal in the fi rst seven years, and then ramps up,” he said. “All signs are pointing to this year being more widespread in all parts of the state.” “Trees can be stressed from multiple factors; it's not necessarily EAB,” Bence said.

It's not always possible to tell whether the insect is present, since the larva reside beneath the tree bark and the adult insects often stay high in the canopy. But arborists such as Bence and Shaw are available through city governments or local tree services to come to the property and assess the likelihood. If a tree is suspected to host EAB, there are a few courses of action that can be taken. “There are two options: treat or start budgeting for removal,” Bence said. Some people may be more attached to a particular ash tree, which may hold special significance for them. In this case, treatment—via trunk injection or ground injection—may be the best option. It costs approximately $200 to treat, but the treatment must be repeated every few years for the rest of the tree's lifetime. In other instances, a declining tree may present a danger to homes and yards as the branches die and begin to become brittle. However, tree removal is expensive. “There are lots of sites where it makes lots of sense not to invest any more in the tree,” Shaw said. However, the large expense of tree removal (anywhere between $500 and $5,000, Shaw said) sometimes makes treatment a more cost-effective option. The widespread removal of trees may also be detrimental to the environment. “If we remove every sick ash tree, our canopy and our air quality will be affected throughout the cities,” Bence said. To learn more about the threat of emerald ash borer, visit the Minne-

sota DNR website and type “emerald ash borer” into the search bar. Davey Tree Expert Company can be found at www.davey.com.

As was planned the scouts came to the Press office in the early evening where the White Bear High School Band was waiting for them. With the band in the lead the two organizations marched up Third street to Railroad avenue where the band formed a circle around the scouts and played a selection after which they formed in fours again, marched up Third to about the middle of the block, countermarched and went up Railroad avenue playing a quickstep.

From puppy mill to runway in less than a year BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Pearl is now a top model. The Pomeranian was selected as America's Top Dog Model 2016 after her White Bear Lake owner, Cheryl Bauer, entered her pet in the contest. The theme was "Meet the Paw-litician." Contestants were selected for best portrayal of their favorite politician, past or present, that included photos and essay. The winning entry from Bauer told a heartfelt story about rescue from a puppy mill and why Pearl feels a kinship to President Abraham Lincoln. "Pearl feels a kinship to Abe in his belief of freedom and his love of animals," read the essay. The national contest was held by America's Top Dog Model, a Boca Raton, Florida-based business that describes itself as a luxury brand whose mission is to celebrate dogs that make a difference in people's lives. All about canines, it publishes an annual calendar and books, broadcasts a TV show, and operates a modeling agency and online store. The business was created by Jo Jo Harder, whom Bauer first met during a 2014 Marketfest event at Lulu & Luigi. Bauer happens to spend winters about 30 miles from Boca Raton in Lantana, Florida, so Harder invited her and Pearl to a casting call at a South Florida Pet Expo for the top model contest. Bauer didn't know if her 6-year-old Pomeranian would be ready for the limelight. She was a puppy mill rescue that would likely need time to adjust to life outside a cage. "A lot of rehab goes into those dogs," Bauer said. "She frightened easily and didn't know how to eat from a bowl. I was warned it could take two years

to bond with Pearl. We bonded in two weeks. She's a fabulous little dog." Puppy mill dogs learn from other dog(s) in the home, which was a requirement in the adoption process. Bauer has a senior Pomeranian named Kirby who helped with Pearl's rehab. He's a registered therapy dog familiar

to residents at St. Andrew's Village and children who attend the Wildwood library Doggone Reading program. Bauer got Pearl in August and left for Florida in December. The casting call was in March. In May, Bauer got the call that Pearl won the contest.

As the grand prize winner, Pearl will appear on the cover of a Top Dog calendar and receive custom jewelry for pets, a tiara, a one-year supply of treats and an autographed copy of “How to Become a Top Dog Model.”

Former Bear chases Stanley Cup for Sharks BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Justin Braun, who helped White Bear Lake reach two state tournaments, is currently skating on a much larger stage: the Stanley Cup finals. The 29-year-old defenseman for the San Jose Sharks has scored two of the team’s six goals in the series against Pittsburgh. The Penguins lead two games to one at this writing. “He’s doing well. He’s got two goals!” said his mother, Carol Reamer, reached by phone in San Jose on Sunday. “He’s got some people (from home) here watching.” Also on hand, Carol said, are Justin’s dad, Paul, his brother Bryan, and Bryan’s girlfriend Kati Halter. Older brother Eric, who got Justin started in hockey in grade school, is home watching on TV. The Penguins won the opener 3-1 and game two 2-1 after Braun’s goal tied the score with 4:05 left. The Sharks, home for game three Saturday night, won in overtime 3-2 with Braun notching the first goal. In 21 playoff games, Braun has two goals, plus four assists, and a solid plus-six rating. While Braun is fulfilling the ultimate dream of any hockey player, the experience is tempered by a sad event, the death of his father-in-law, former NHL star Tom Lysiak, on the same day as Game 1. Braun and wife Jessica took a leave of absence after the second game to attend her father’s funeral in Atlanta. Tom Lysiak, who was 63, was a three-time All-Star with the Atlanta Flames, led the team in scoring five times be-

fore finishing his career with the Chicago Blackhawks. Braun grew up in Vadnals Heights and still lives in the metro area. He and Jessica, a Georgia native who is a private chef and appeared on the TV show “MasterChef,” have a baby daughter, Madison, born in January. In high school, Braun helped White Bear Lake reach “state” as a sophomore in 2003 and as a senior in 2005. The Bears were consolation champions each time. 2005 yearbook photo. He was not a blue-chipper at the time but has now played five seasons in the NHL. “I wouldn’t say I was a marquee player back in the day, so I just kind of kept working at it and over time got my chances and played well,” Braun told Let’s Play Hockey in an article (reprinted in this newspaper) soon after he joined the Sharks in 2010 and notched five points in his first six games. He added, “I wasn’t nominated for Mr. Hockey or anything, and in juniors I didn’t do much either.” The Gophers and the rest of the WCHA were not looking his way, but Braun found a good college hockey home at University of Massachusetts after a season in the USHL with Green Bay. Majoring in business management, Braun had a strong college career, earning All-America

second-team honors and Big East defenseman of the year as a senior. Tim Sager, who has coached the Bears for 37 years and sent two players to the NHL (Ryan Carter, currently of the Wild, is the other), told Let’s Play Hockey at that time: “He (Braun) just had so much God-given talent and he worked extremely hard and figured things out and grew into his body and got stronger. He’s just one of those guys San Jose Sharks player that continued to get better photo. and better and better.” Drafted by the Sharks in the seventh round (201st pick overall) in 2007, Braun played two seasons with their minor league team in Worchester, Mass., before being called up to the Sharks. During this regular season, Braun had four goals, 19 assists and a plus-11 rating in 80 games. In five regular seasons with the Sharks, he has logged 13 goals and 79 assists. He is one of two Minnesotans in the Sharks’ defensive corps along with Paul Martin of Elk River. About Braun leaving the team Wednesday, Sharks coach Peter DeBoer told reporters: “It’s a tough situation. To Justin’s credit, he was business as usual. You feel for him. He went out there, he battled for us under tough circumstances.”

Don’t let fear rent space in your brain How many times have you been tentative over a shot you are facing? Maybe you were unsure of the club selection, or the distance, or your ability to actually hit the shot you’re attempting. When you plant the seed of doubt in your brain, Tee Time the fear factor sets in and with Coach we all know it’s downhill from there. Betsy Fear is actually a physiological effect that can Larey ruin your golf game. So if everyone knows this is true, why can’t most people control it? I think it’s because most people have no strategy for what they are going to do when faced with adversity during a round of golf. You can’t make fear go away but you can know your tendencies when fear sets in. Does your swing get quick? Do you decelerate on the downswing and bail out on the shot? Do you pull it? People do different things but we all tend to do the same thing over and over. So the first thing you need to figure out is what you do when you are bit with,

what I call the “fear bug”. The first thing that happens most often is muscle tension. I’ve seen many players shorten their backswings and that is a telltale sign of tension setting in. This is because muscle tension works its way into your hands first. The other common problem associated with muscle tension is blocking the ball to the right. The tighter you hang on to the club, the harder it is to release the club head though impact. In the short game, tension will kill those little ‘touch shots’ around the green. If you decelerate when hitting a wedge, you can hit it fat, blade it across the green or top it and watch it go about 3 feet. Here are a few suggestions you can try when the fear factor sets in. When faced with a difficult shot, make sure you take a big breath and exhale slowly right before you make the shot. Jason Day does this with his eyes closed from behind the ball. I suggest doing it right before you start your backswing. This takes all of the tension out of your muscles and allows you to hold the club with your perfect grip pressure. Trust me, this works.

One of the best tips I’ve used with clients is to put together the words “smooth swing” (some like saying one-two) as you’re swinging the club. Those two words put together are the perfect tempo for the golf swing. The other thing that’s accomplished when you say this is it forces you to have a transition at the top. There has to be a transition from the backswing to the forward swing. If there isn’t, the sequential order falls apart and the result is usually pretty ugly. Give it a try, it works for me and it really helped the girls on my high school golf team this year. And then there’s the most basic concept of all; keep your eye on the back of the ball. Once your left brain takes over with mechanical swing thoughts, it’s so easy to forget what you are trying to do here -- hit the ball. The best way to conquer fear is to not let it have the opportunity to rent space in your brain. The easiest way I know of is to have a perfect pre-shot routine. I have written about this before. You are so busy going through the process, you don’t have time to let it seep in. So if you know your tendency is to tighten your grip, make sure you build the

deep breathe concept into your pre-shot routine. If you know your tendency is to decelerate on your short game shots, have your one swing thought be to accelerate through the shot. Everyone acts just a little bit different when the fear factor sets in. The next time you’re playing an important match, make a mental note (better yet, a written one that you can catalog) of what happens when you are faced with adversity. I think you’ll find that you do the same things again and again.

Young Bears track team places third in conference meet

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Led by Malala Keefe and Jordan Gast, a young White Bear Lake girls track team won five events and placed third in the East Suburban Conference meet. Mounds View had 177, Forest Lake 167.5 and the Bears 146 to lead nine teams in the May 26 meet at East Ridge. “Our goal was to place in the top three teams,” said coach Richard Samuelson, noting that the Bears have placed second once and third three times in the past four seasons. “We continue to improve and will be among the top two teams in the conference for the next three years. We are loaded with young talent and blessed with a very talented freshman class.” Keefe, a senior, won both shot put (41-1) and discus (131-0). “What makes Makala Keefe such a great thrower is her athletic ability coupled with her tenacity,” Samuelson assessed. “She is a fierce competitor.” Two freshmen ruled the 400 dash as Claire Odmark won (57.87) with Gast second (58.59).

Gast helped two relay teams earn first-place points. The 4-by-400 quartet of Gast, Madalyn Williams, Yajaira Lansiquot, and Odmark won in 3:59.35, and the 4-by-800 team of Madeline Verkerke, Katelyn Galvin, Keely Nistler and Gast won in 9:45.13. “We are blessed with five or six very talented sprinters and they are also very young,” Samuelson said. “Madalyn Williams, Lisa Eischens, Madaline Wallace, Jordan Gast, Victoria Adebisi, and Claire Odmark are all gifted sprinters. The only one to graduate is Lisa. She has been the leader of our relays and a fantastic captain.” Also scoring points were Bailey McCullough, fifth in 300 hurdles (47.44); Olivia Schwintek, sixth in the 1600 (5:23.94); Jenna Ellertson, sixth in pole vault (9-6); Williams, seventh in the 200 (26.79) and ninth in high jump (5-0); Madeline Wallace, seventh in the 100 (13.18); Victoria Adebisi, seventh in long jump (16-5 3/4); Elisa Ballata, eighth (34-5) in shot put; Allison Gruber, eighth in the 3200 (12:00.34); Alana Ulmer, ninth in discus (98-2); and Jordan Ferrand, ninth in shot put (34-3). The 4-by-100 team placed third.

The Bears were true-team section champions this season and placed seventh at the state meet. “This team is hard-working, tenacious, and they do not like to lose,” Samuelson reflected. “ Our distance crew also has performed very well this year.”

Bear boys place 7th The White Bear Lake boys had no first-places and finished seventh. Dan Oyekunle ran second in the 110 hurdles (14.75) and seventh in 100 dash (11.37). Fernando Benitez placed fourth (4:27.8) in both the 1600 and 3200 (9:46.25). The Bears also took second in the 4-by-800. Also scoring were Dylan Gast, third in the 400 (50.97); Josh Truen, third in the 800 (1:59.22); Eric Servatius, fourth in triple jump (42-0 3/4); Ben Vanderbosch, fifth in the 1600 (4:29.37); Garrett Zakrzewski, sixth in the 400 (52.91); Gage Johnson, seventh in 100 hurdles (15.75); Bailey Bolton, seventh in shot put (44-5 3/4); Ben Roen, eighth in the 800 (2:04.10); Zachary Suedbeck, eighth in triple jump (40-7 1/2); and Loren Altman, ninth in long jump (20-1 1/2).

Girl golfers second at sections

The White Bear Lake girls golf team finished second in their section tournament, which was held May 31 and June 3. The event was held at Tanners Brook in Forest Lake. The Bears were three strokes out of second place behind perennial powerhouse Cretin Derham Hall after day one. They knocked 12 strokes off in the second round to finish in second place behind Stillwater with a combined 762. Their last day score of 375 was their best 18 hole round of the year. The Bears were led by Taite

Anderson who came in eighth overall with a combined 184. Anderson and captain Kayla Borglund qualified as individuals for the state tournament, which will be held at Bunker Hills on June 14 and 15. Borglund and junior Claire Rau tied for the last spot and had to play a playoff in the driving rain. Borglund picked up a par by draining a 40 foot putt on the first hole to advance. Submitted

Completion a year away for new senior facility WHITE BEAR LAKE — Construction is on schedule for White Bear Heights Senior Living on Centerville Road. At least for now. “I’m knocking on wood as I say that,” said Oppidan’s vice president of development, Paul Tucci. Like most construction projects, progress on the senior facility, which lies in the shadow of the water tower across from Cub Foods, is weather-dependent. The developer is shooting for a May 2017 opening of the 112-unit building. There will be 45 assisted, 37 independent living and 30 memory care apartments. Marketing will begin a month or so ahead of opening, Tucci said. His company was attracted to the site after a market study of the area, he said. “There was a need for this type of product. There is competition (from The Waters on Highway 61), but that’s on the other side of I-35E. Our services will be the same; the difference is geography. There is opportunity and a demand for this type of housing here.” Oppidan “loves White Bear Lake,” Tucci added. They built White Bear Marketplace on Buerkle Road and would “love to have more projects.” Oppidan built a similar senior facility in Woodbury called Red Rock and, according to Tucci, they are working on four other sites. Demographics say there’s a need, he said. “People are much more mobile today, which means mom and dad are a two-hour plane ride away. Their kids want to be sure they’re taken care of.” Debra Neutkens

Birthday party enthusiast lets kids eat cake

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — When Anddi Schwartz, a White Bear Lake High School alumna, decided she had outgrown themed birthday parties, she started putting them together for kids she doesn't know. Her movement, called “Let Them Eat Cake,” began in 2012. When Schwartz got into her 30s, she realized her friends had outgrown themed birthday parties. But she didn't fully enjoy the adult alternative — dinner out. “I just kind of got disillusioned with the whole birthday thing,” said Schwartz. But her interest was piqued when a college friend of hers in Illinois, Kate Schultz, requested donations to a food drive in lieu of presents for her July 15 birthday. Schultz added a few bags of birthday supplies in memory of childhood birthday parties and her mother, who passed away from cancer.

Schwartz decided she too would celebrate her July 18 birthday by giving kids what she had so enjoyed growing up — themed birthday parties. She asked for birthday goodies for kids in need as gifts for her 31st birthday. She was able to give 36 themed party bags to the Keystone Family Services food shelf on Rice Street in St. Paul. “When I turned 32, I decided I wanted to keep doing this,” said Schwartz. Last July, she and friends delivered 129 bags in three SUVs and a truck. This year, her goal is to hit 200 for her 35th birthday. She takes donations from area businesses and organizations in the Twin Cities and stores the goodies in her basement. She organizes all the goodies into themed bags and then delivers them on her birthday each year. Schwartz has delivered at total of 267 bags and 1,174 pounds in the last five years. The Rice Street loca-

tion of Keystone Family Services' food shelf sees the most children. In 2015, 10,200 children were served by Keystone Community Services in its basic needs program. The birthday bags are given on top of the regular allocated poundage for a family in need. “I think she has really latched onto a project,” said Christine Pulver, basic needs program director. “While it may seem small it makes a big impact on the families we serve.” Families who visit the food shelf are often in crisis and not able to provide for their children. Pulver has personally seen the impact on children who receive the birthday bags. “They are pretty excited to receive something,” said Pulver. “It looks like a present they are receiving.”

The birthday vision Birthdays have become meaningful to Schwartz again. “I like knowing that my

acts of generosity all the time,” she said. “I get to see the good side of humanity all the time, and it is amazing.” Schwartz lives in St. Paul and has a dream for all of her St. Paul neighbor kids to have fun-filled birthday parties. “I have a dream of making sure all the kids in St. Paul get to celebrate their birthdays,” she said. Schwartz grew up with four siblings and they rotated having big themed parties and unique cakes. One of her favorite birthday parties was a Hippie party; she had a smiley face cake. As a young adult, she put on her own Star Wars-themed party. She already has 35 Star Wars themed bags ready to give to youth this summer. “Birthdays are a big deal, and my birthday wish is for every kid in Saint Paul to be able to celebrate their special day with friends and family,” she said. “With the goal set at 200 birthday bags this year, I’m going to need the help of my generous neighbors to make my goal a reality.” Schwartz has big birthday dreams and thinks she will soon outgrow her basement operation. “I really would like to make this a foundation,” she said. “Eventually, I'll run out of space. I'll have to get a shed or warehouse.”

Joining the movement Co-workers leave Schwartz money and marked-down cakes on her desk at her job as a customer service representative at a medical laboratory. Some of Schwartz's regular donors have also created uniquely themed bags — a coworker of hers found a bunch of real china teacups at thrift stores and put together a tea party-themed birthday bag. The same friend also put together a

lumberjack-themed bag with blow-up axes, real tin cups and handkerchiefs. The cost of putting together a bag can vary — a themed bag with namebrand items can cost $35, but bags with just the essentials cost about $10 each. Schwartz is also a big supporter, and alumna, of Girl Scouts. Every birthday bag donated contains a box of Girl Scout cookies. In 2015, Let Them Eat Cake Saint Paul was adopted by Girl Scout Troop 56567 of White Bear Lake. The troop collected 62 boxes of cookies and purchased five more out of their own pocket money. This year, Troop 56544 collected 25 donated boxes at cookie booths, and Schwartz was able to purchase 30 more boxes with GoFundMe dollars. Her basement is now packed with 210 boxes of cookies. The Let Them Eat Cake movement is also growing across the Midwest — Schultz in Illinois is still part of it, and there are people in Duluth, Wisconsin and Iowa who gather birthday donations for their local food shelves. Drop-off donations of packaged frosting and cake mixes and any unopened party decorations or favors are accepted. Monetary donations and gift cards are also accepted, as Schwartz can then shop for items to tie birthday bags together. A complete birthday bag contains the following: plastic tablecloth, lunch plates, cake plates, napkins, cups, plastic cutlery, invitations/ thank you notes, party favor bags, party favors, balloons, streamers, a birthday banner or other hanging decoration, candles, a boxed cake mix and a tub of frosting.

Maritt May, teacher at Valley Crossing Community School, spoke on the transfer of employment from Northeast Metro 916 to South Washington County Schools and that teachers employed prior to 2002 will walk away with nothing; and would like funds in their HSA. Presentation: Capitol View Center Design Jennifer Anderson Tuttle and Mohammed Lawal of LSE Architects provided an update on the Capitol View Center design, including a discussion on outdoor space, floor plans and an exterior image rendering. The project is moving into the design development phase. The project will be completed by the fall of 2018. Gary Benson, from Kraus-Anderson Construction Company, was also present. Member Ptacek left at this point in the meeting. Presentation: 2016 Legislative Platform Superintendent Hayes presented the 2016 Legislative Platform prepared in collaboration with the three Intermediate School Districts was presented. The session begins March 8. The Intermediate District Legislative Platform includes: a. Area Learning Center (ALC) funding for intermediates b. Expand Credit Recovery Limit students in ALCs c. Provide mental health/crisis prevention professional development aid d. Fully fund the special education cross subsidy There are a number of legislators who are interested in authoring the bill for professional development. Presentation: Teaching & Learning Update The Teaching & Learning team consisting of Karen Chase, Andrew Hamilton and Scott Schwister presented an update on their work and goals for the year, including four district-wide staff development days and a focus on providing personalized, data-driven support for staff. Discussion: Access Fee Discussion with MDE Superintendent Connie Hayes provided an update to the school board regarding a seven-month long discussion with the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) regarding the intermediates’ non-member access fee. The non-member access fees are an important part of the intermediate district business model that has been in existence for a very long time. The revenue provided supports overall programming in the district and helps to keep the membership fee for member districts down. The District demonstrated that MDE has approved the access fee for many years and provided examples of statutory authority. After a final meeting with the Commissioner, MDE will now seek legislative approval for explicit permission for the non-member access fee. MDE’s request for consultation with House Research, who provided guidance during the 2006 approval of the state’s tuition billing system, suggested that it was unlikely the legislature had intended that non-members could participate in programming at Northeast Metro 916 on a better basis than members. Consideration: Potential Re-engagement on Policy Regarding Alternates Following discussion, the school board agreed not to reopen the policy regarding alternates at board meeting. Approval of the Consent Agenda Approved the consent items, accepted as part of the approval of the agenda, consistent with the recommended actions presented by the administration. Approval of Minutes Payment of Bills and Acknowledgment of Wire Transfer Report Personnel (Resignation, Employment, Leave of Absence, Change in Employment Status) Donations Field Trip Contract Renewal – School Furnishings – SICO America, Inc. 2016 Special Education Extended School Year Center-Based Summer Program Dan Naidicz, director of special education, noted that there will be no summer programming at Capitol View Center this summer. Programming for specific students based upon criteria for Extended School Year (ESY) per Federal and State laws. Approved the dates for Special Education Extended School Year (ESY) Center-Based Summer Programs for 2016 as presented. FY’17 Budget Assumptions The administrative staff of Northeast Metro 916 are working on developing the financial budget for the next fiscal school year. Assumptions are a key driver for projections and need to be determined before meaningful work can be performed in budget development. Kristine Carr, director of administrative services, noted that in Assumption 1, the target for salaries and benefits is targeted at 3%. Approved the 2016-17 financial assumptions for budget development for Northeast Metropolitan Intermediate School District 916 as presented. Approval of 2016 Legislative Platform The legislative proposals contained in the document have been developed cooperatively with the other two intermediate districts and Valerie Dosland,

JUNE 8, 2016 from Ewald Consulting Group, Inc. The report has been reviewed with the other intermediate districts. This platform will be used by the intermediate superintendents and lobbyist, Valerie Dosland, in discussions with key legislators, and other individuals and groups as needed to influence legislative activity. Approved the 2016 legislative platform to be used as a resource during the 2016 legislative session in addressing major issues for the intermediate school districts. Resolution Discontinuing and Reducing Educational Programs and Positions Superintendent Hayes noted that tonight’s resolution is for Valley Crossing Community School only. Discontinued the following programs and positions, or portions thereof: Programs Valley Crossing Community School Positions 26.65 FTE Teachers, Elementary Education 1.0 FTE Teacher, Visual Arts .75 FTE Teacher, Instr (Band/Orch) & Classroom Music 4.0 FTE Teacher, Special Education 1.0 FTE Teacher, Vocal & Classroom Music 1.0 FTE Teacher, Physical Education 1.0 FTE School Social Worker 1.0 FTE Educ.

Approved the 2016 Pay Equity implementation report for submission to the Minnesota Pay Equity Management System. Lease Space for Capitol View Center Non-Program Staff This lease space would be used to move non-program staff off of the Capitol View site during construction. This will take approximately 35 to 40 people out of the building and parking areas during construction and also provide for more student areas inside of the building to move students during different phases of construction and during a time where outside access to green space will be restricted. Approved a lease with the Gateway Business Center in Roseville for 9,200 square feet of office and warehouse space. Terms of the lease are as follows: 9,200 square feet of space $8.95 per square foot plus CAM of approximately $4.87 per square foot 25-month lease term beginning May 1, 2016 and ending June 1, 2018 Resolution Authorizing ISD No. 282 (St. Anthony-New Brighton) to Become a Member and Participating School District of Northeast Metro 916 St. Anthony-New Brighton Public Schools approached Northeast Metro 916 this year to consider becoming a member. St. Anthony-New Brighton has frequently enrolled students as a non-member and Northeast Metro 916 has provided a review to compare the costs of their use of services as a member vs. a non-member. As enrollment from member districts has increased and space for non-members to enroll has diminished, St. Anthony-New Brighton has requested membership with Northeast Metro 916. The school board at St. Anthony-New Brighton voted on February 1 to become a member. Approval by the Northeast Metro 916 board would establish a total membership of 14 school districts. The St. Anthony-New Brighton School Board meets on the same night as the Northeast Metro 916 Board. The Northeast Metro 916 Board should have discussion about this schedule conflict, perhaps when the St. Anthony-New Brighton school board member is present. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 136D.76, Subdivision 2, as amended, approved the joinder of Independent School District No. 282 (St. Anthony-New Brighton) as a member and participating school district of Northeast Metropolitan Intermediate School District No. 916. Authorized and directed the superintendent to submit a certified copy of this resolution and the resolution of the School Board of Independent School District No. 282 (St. Anthony-New Brighton) to the Commissioner of the Department of Education. The Superintendent and the representatives of Independent School District No. 282 (St. Anthony-New Brighton) shall provide such information as may be necessary to the Minnesota Department of Education and the appropriate County Auditors to allow the net tax capacity of the property within Independent School District No. 282 (St. Anthony-New Brighton) to become proportionately liable for taxes certified in 2016 and thereafter for any indebtedness issued, outstanding or authorized of this intermediate district. Independent School District No. 282 (St. Anthony-New Brighton) shall become a member and participating school district of Northeast Metropolitan Intermediate School District as of February 4, 2016. Independent School District No. 282 (St. Anthony-New Brighton) is requested to consider appointment of a member of its school board to serve as a member of the intermediate school board immediately following said date. Authorized and directed the superintendent to take such other actions as may be necessary so that Independent School District No. 282 (St. Anthony-New Brighton) may become a member and participating school district.
