Old ice boats: not for faint of heart BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
When Fletcher Driscoll was 12, his life flashed before his eyes as he headed for an ice heave on White Bear Lake. He was piloting an 18-foot Skeeter, a Formula One race car on blades. The bank of ice loomed as the young boat driver rushed towards it. "I will never forget it," said the Dellwood sailor, now 86. "I was probably going about 75 mph. I didn't see this ice heave. I thought, 'I'm dead. I'm going to crash into this and not come out alive.' If you turn an ice boat upwind, you capsize. If you turn downwind, you accelerate; I would have hit it even harder. I barely missed it. God saved me." The experience has never left Driscoll, who called ice boating a rite of passage for a boy growing up on the water. That same boat, built post WWII at Johnson Boat Works, will be on display at the 14th Annual Manitou Days Boat Show. It almost wasn't. Owned by Driscoll's late uncle, Bob Power, the vintage ice boat had long been abandoned in some woods near Amery, Wisconsin. Animals had their way with the boat, feasting on the wood until it was almost unrecognizable. "My cousin called and asked if I wanted it," Driscoll said. "It was in hideous shape; completely rotten through and through. No one in their right mind would restore this. The only reason I did was because I have an emotional attachment to the boat." When he brought the project home, fellow ice boaters urged him to burn it. "I said, 'no, we can't really do that,'" Driscoll recalled. Then three people "put up their hands" and agreed to help in the restoration: John Taylor, Steve Wiberg and Steve Johnson. Steve is the grandson of Johnson Boat Works founder J.O. Johnson, a Norwegian immigrant who built his business on the shore of White Bear Lake. The Skeeter was built for Steve Johnson's uncle Iver Johnson, J.O.'s son, around 1945. Bob Power, a Birch-

wood resident, bought it from Iver shortly after. "The story goes that it scared Iver," according to Driscoll. This year's Boat Show is featuring several antique ice boats built at Johnson Boat Works, which ceased operations in 1998. The property sold to the city a year later and the buildings were bulldozed in 2013 to make way for the Boatworks Commons apartments. Show coordinator Pat Oven, also in his 14th year, wanted the focus to be on the rich history of White Bear's boat builders, both Johnson and Amundson SEE BOAT SHOW, PAGE 8A

residents warned to lock doors after string of home burglaries, vehicle thefts BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office has seen an increase in home and vehicle burglary within the last weeks in Vadnais Heights, White Bear Township, North Oaks and Shoreview. The common middle-of-the-night tactic being used by a group of perhaps 20 suspects is to enter a vehicle, use the garage door opener to get inside the garage and then attempt
to enter the home through a service door, said Sheriff Bob Fletcher. “There is a group from Minneapolis that has been circulating the metro area using the major highways and freeways and then hitting homes within one mile of a major highway,” Fletcher explained. Over the last few weeks, four occupied home burglaries have occurred in the area along I-35E. With three search warrants, law enforcement found several suspects June 6, mostly juveniles, in Minneapolis. Numerous items that appeared to

be stolen were found. They are expected to be charged; officers are still looking for more suspects. Fletcher reminds residents to lock their vehicle doors, keep their garage door opener out of sight in their vehicles, and lock all doors to their homes. The suspects have been quickly entering homes and stealing purses and wallets in close proximity to service doors. Victims are often sleeping further back in the house and might not hear anything. “At a minimum, hide your remote

They are not going to spend much time looking for your remote.” North Oaks resident Thomas Keller happened to be watching TV when he heard a loud thud about 1:30 a.m. May 20. When the sound didn't repeat itself, he went back to sleep. In the morning, he awoke to deputies at his door and his 2017 Chevrolet Silverado gone. Fortunately, deputies had

Bear that shines: teacher and historian BY GRACE CONROY
When I think of Bears that Shine, I think of Rheanna O’Brien. Not only is she the board president of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, she also teaches middle school social studies at Frassati Catholic Academy in White Bear Lake. Rheanna was my fi fth-grade social studies teacher and I had a blast learning about U.S. history and immigration. During class, we did fun and interactive activities instead of worksheets and lectures. One of my personal favorites was when we did an “Antiques Roadshow” and everyone brought in a family artifact. From this activity, I learned more about my family history and got to hear the stories of my classmates’ families. In addition to teaching, Rheanna O’Brien is the board president of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. She has encouraged me to volunteer during multiple Historical Society events, and it was so much fun! I met new people in my community and learned so much about the history of White Bear. Last year Rheanna received a grant to travel to Washington D.C. and study Cass Gilbert’s connection to the White Bear Township Town Hall. She searched through sketches and other primary sources in hopes to design a curriculum to teach kids about the amazing history of White Bear Lake. Between the positive impact she makes on her students and saving history for White Bear Lake, Rheanna O’Brien is a Bear that shines.

My sister Meghan Gamradt is a Bear that shines. Meghan and her friend started a nonprofit called Creations4acause. They made nail art, paintings on canvases, coasters, and printed shirts all related to Minnesota. They sold their products at Heritage Days in Vadnais Heights. The money they raised went to a organization in our community called Solid Ground. Solid Ground is a place for people to stay for about two years until they are able to fi nd a home. Another thing Meghan has done with some friends is collected donations of food and personal hygiene products. They handed these items out to people on the street in St. Paul. Meghan and her friend have also put together a spaghetti dinner. The money they raised from the dinner was donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. That is why in my opinion Meghan is a Bear that shines. I think my sister is pretty awesome!
Police officers shine BY DAVID HARMAN
Have you ever wondered who the people are with the blue clothes and a shiny silver star? Well your question is about to be answered! These people are called police officers! Police officers help and protect us in many different ways. Here are some of them. First, they protect us from robbers and criminals. Second, whenever I see a police officer at a car accident I know it will be okay! Third, my grandpa is allergic to wasps. Once he was stung because of the allergic reaction. He was unconscious. My neighbors called 911. It was ok! These are the reasons that I think police officers are awesome community helpers!

My name is Gianluca and I am writing to tell you about a group of friends that shine and make a difference in our community. They call themselves the Trash Pickers and this is what they do. They wear white t-shirts with name Trash Pickers on it. They go around my neighborhood and Spruce Park picking up trash. This is good for our environment and helps keep our earth clean. The Trash Pickers are helping our community stay clean. Especially at Spruce Park where a lot of kids play. This keeps kids safe from broken glass bottles or other sharp objects. Hopefully

Student volunteers create a shinier world BY AIDA THIAM
As I take a stroll through the park, with leaves rustling in the wind and the hollers of glee from the children playing on the playground, I see how our world has become so much different from long ago. A lot less homeless people, and no more starving people by the curb. I have been in the White Bear Lake school district for seven years now and I would not go anywhere else. Us Bears are working towards a common goal, to make the world a better place. I would like to take this time to recognize and honor all the marvelous work our future leaders have accomplished to create a change in our community. Let’s start with Otter Lake. Third, fourth and fi fth graders at this school are doing extraordinary things such as making packaged food for the organization Feed My Starving Children, making holiday cards for the elderly, and even going as far as making donations and fundraisers to provide developing countries in need the access to clean water. At Willow Lane, these prodigious children are doing wonders being chefs, servers, and hosts at the restaurant, Donatelli’s. This is where they heard about the eye-opening, tragic death of a 7-year-old from cancer. Since then, they have donated a portion of their tips to a fundraiser in his name organized by the foundation HopeKids, his favorite one. Another school where kids are doing such inspiring things is South Campus. It is here that their student council gathered 14,000 lbs. of food and $8,000 for their local food shelf! Oneka Elementary’s BOSS (Bears Official Service Superheroes) really are being super. The fourth graders here are making blankets for homeless people and even sent packages for hurricane relief with basic necessities. However, students are not the only ones contributing to this work. Oneka staff members have partnered with Habitat for Humanity to construct homes for the homeless! As we reach the end of all the fascinating schools in our district, we can really see how they have changed the world one step at a time. And as Auggie Pullman once said, “Everybody deserves a standing ovation at least once in their lives,” and I think these schools really do. Why you might ask? Well, because these Bears really do shine.

Struggling readers get help from both sides of Legislature BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
ST. PAUL — Thanks to a few local moms-turned-lobbyists and area legislators, historic legislation to help dyslexic and other struggling readers was included in the 2019 Education Omnibus bill. Gov. Tim Walz signed the bill May 30. Working in bi-partisan fashion, the House and Senate Education Conference Committee members agreed on two provisions supported by literacy advocates across the state. One of those groups is Decoding Dyslexia Minnesota, a nonprofit founded seven years ago by Rachel Berger, a Hugo mom determined to make a change for all children struggling to read. “The legislation will identify students early and match them to services rather than waiting until third grade when they're failing because they can't read,” Berger said. Starting July 1, 2020, all public schools in Minnesota must screen any student in grades K-2 who are not reading at grade level, for signs of dyslexia. Schools must screen students in third grade or higher that are not reading at grade level for signs of dyslexia if another reason for reading failure has not been identified. Starting June 1, 2020, teacher preparation programs in Minnesota must explicitly teach to future elementary school teachers the signs of dyslexia and provide them instruction in evidence-based reading instruction methods. Berger said passage of these provisions, “will significantly impact reading proficiency rates for all Minnesota students and will begin to ensure equity and accessibility within our educational environments for both educators and their students.” Testifying on their children's behalf were board members Erin Florin, Vadnais Heights; Heather Smythe, White Bear Lake; and Lyn Haselmann, White Bear Township. All have dyslexic children in the White Bear Lake Area school district. In the past, parents have been told their children “aren't failing enough,” so they don't qualify for
remedial resources, according to Haselmann. “We would have to wait until they were two years behind their peers before they'd qualify. Now we don't.” Now that laws are in place, it will be interesting to see how much will be implemented, noted Florin. Time will tell of course, but Berger feels the group has done “a solid job” to raise awareness to the issue. When she first started her advocacy work, Berger said the word dyslexia was alien. “Now it's a buzz word everywhere at the Capitol. We've been approached by many policymakers who want to carry bills because they have a personal, vested interest.” From 17 to 20 percent of the population is impacted by the ability to read the printed word, according to the women. The prevalence makes it highly likely a teacher will have at least one dyslexic student in their classroom. “Dyslexia doesn't have to be a disability,” Florin stated. The women singled out Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes) who championed their cause this session by co-authoring bills on teacher training. For more on dyslexia, see www.decodingdyslexiamn.org.

Three brothers share $1.3 million lottery ticket ROSEVILLE – A Gopher 5 jackpot worth $1,366,581 hit in the May 1 drawing was claimed by three brothers on May 31. Matthew Benson of Mahtomedi, Jason Benson of Hudson, Wisconsin, and Timothy Benson of Stillwater split the $1.3 million jackpot three-ways — each receiving $455,527 (before the required tax withholdings). The winning ticket was purchased by Timothy who said they
always had this understanding that, “If someone wins anything significant enough, we would all share it.” Matthew jokingly added, “Otherwise we would be borrowing money from him anyway, so it stops the whole family feud!” The brothers, who all work in construction, said they plan to pay off debt and save for retirement. The winning ticket was purchased at Freedom Valu Center, located at 4852 Highway 61 N. in
White Bear Lake. The business earned a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. The winning Gopher 5 numbers drawn on May 1 were 2-6-19-2934. Gopher 5 is a Minnesota-only game with jackpots that start at $100,000 and grow until won. The overall odds of winning the Gopher 5 jackpot are approximately 1 in 1.5 million. Press release

Father’s Day without a father
E
ver since December of 2015, I have come to absolutely dread Father’s Day. In fact, I tend to dread all the ďŹ rst half of June. No one should ever have to lose a parent at the age of 22. Leading up to Father’s Day, I am bombarded with the ood of ads on TV and in my inbox and Hallmark cards in stores. On the day itself, I can’t work up the courage to venture onto social media, as I know all of the sentimental messages Out & and pictures will kill me and remind me that About he is not here. Shannon On Father’s Day, I Granholm ďŹ nd myself feeling jealous that most people my age still have both of their parents. I also ďŹ nd myself feeling horribly depressed about the fact that on June 7, my parents, Earl and Karen, don’t get to celebrate another year of marriage. Even though this year will mark my fourth Father’s Day without him, it is still unbearable. Actually, every day is pretty unbearable to be honest. I ďŹ nd myself reminiscing about when he was here and when I could spoil him the way that he deserved. We would always go to his favorite place, Red Robin, so he could order onion rings, a burger and fries. In his absence, I ďŹ nd myself struggling with what to do on this day. One tradition I have tried out is buying a card for him, even though he will never get to read it. I also try to think about what I would have bought him if he was still here. Now that I can’t buy him things, instead I try to ďŹ nd something that reminds me of him or pays tribute to him. I then add it to my “daddy shelf,â€? which is quickly running out of room. Sitting on the shelf today, are his ashes, the ower he wore at my wedding, his favorite Minnesota Wild hat, one of his shirts turned into a pillow, his old fountain pens, a photo of us together when I was young and a lot of other artwork that says things such as, “Because someone we love is in Heaven, there is a little bit of Heaven in our home.â€? I suppose one day, if I ever have children, the holiday could once again bring me joy. But I am sure, even after 20 years pass, I will still ďŹ nd myself missing him, like I do every day, on Father’s Day. All I can do now is go shopping with my dogs Frosty and Twinkie, so they can buy their father a Pawther’s Day present. So this Father’s Day, if you are lucky enough to still have your dad by your side, please honor him and thank him for all he has done for you while you still can. Shannon Granholm is editor of The Citizen and Quad Community Press.

t’s an exciting time for the Class of 2019. Graduating seniors will soon accept their diplomas and celebrate a major milestone with friends and family. While these new graduates kick back and relax, their parents stress about planning graduation parties - ďŹ guring out food, seating, entertainment and much more. With all of the details that go into planning a successful graduation party, Movers & underage drinking is the last thing on Shakers parents’ minds. It shouldn’t be. Know the Securing alcohol TM Truth that will be available to adults attending a graduation party is an important detail too many parents overlook. An unsecured and unsupervised case of beer or a bottle of wine can be tempting for teens. Worse, an older sibling or unaware relative may even provide your graduate with alcohol. On average, 53% of underage drinkers reported family and friends as their source of alcohol. While some people may think drinking at a graduation party seems innocent, teenager’s brains are still developing and are highly sensitive to the effects of alcohol. Short-term use leads to sharply decreased judgement while regular use of alcohol during
Discuss underage drinking with your teen Only 1 in 100 parents suspect that their child consumes alcohol, but one in six teens are involved in underage drinking. Parents need to accept the reality that underage drinking is common and discuss their expectations with their children.
Talk to your teen about social host ordinances When talking to their children, parents should also explain what a social host ordinance is and what the penalties mean. By explaining the consequences to teens, it will make them more aware of what they risk for their parents by drinking underage. Have a backup plan While planning the party, parents should discuss how they will handle the situation if underage drinking occurs. Having a plan already in place will help parents resolve the situation quickly. Recruit help Share your expectations with the other adults attending the event so that they can help you keep an eye out for underage drinking. Even better, consider hiring a bartender for the event. Remain aware By far the most important way to prevent underage drinking is to remain aware of what is happening at your home. You may be tempted to imbibe yourself, but if you are impaired, it can be much harder to make sure your teen doesn’t.

adolescence can have lasting effects and may even interfere with normal brain functioning during adulthood. Parents can also get in legal trouble for allowing underage drinking on their property. Social host ordinances will penalize parents if they are caught providing liquor to underage drinkers, even if it was not intentional. “Social host ordinances hold adults responsible for hosting or providing a place for underage drinking to happen,â€? said Sadie Holland, the prevention education manager for Know the Truth. As of 2018, social host ordinances have been adopted by 132 cities and 33 counties in the state. Parents who violate social host ordinances can face up to 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 ďŹ ne. Parents may also be held responsible for damages if a teen is in an alcohol-related accident while impaired. “While it may seem intimidating, there are easy steps you can take to help prevent underage drinking,â€? advised Holland.

Help ease storm damage stress
M
innesotans experienced the fi rst severe thunderstorm of the year, and with more to come this spring and summer, Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota is here to guide consumers who are seeking storm repair or lawn services. If your property was damaged or you have flooding in your home, Step One is to contact your insurance company. Your damage may be covered, and your insurance company may have contractors to recommend. When vetting storm repair and lawn service contractors, Step
Two is to research businesses. BBB.org has business profiles on thousands of home contractors, and you can read about experiences other consumers have had with them. It’s also Movers and a good idea to check with state and local Shakers government agencies Better Business to ensure a contractor is properly licensed. Bureau Having trust in a contractor inspecting your home is crucial, especially with so much money on the line.
While most contractors abide by the law, an unethical contractor may actually create more damage just to get work. That’s why Step Three is to be extra wary of quotes regarding places in your home you cannot see. If your home incurred storm damage, this can be a stressful time. Step Four is a reminder to stay composed and resist highpressure sales tactics. Beware of “storm chasers” – out-of-town contractors soliciting business from regions affected by natural disasters. Be proactive in seeking a contractor and not reactive to sales calls or door-to-door pitches.
Once you select a contractor, Step Five is to get an invoice and pay the contractor directly, preferably with a credit card, which offers additional fraud protection over other forms of payment. Don’t sign over any documents that give the contractor any rights to your insurance claims. If you sense something questionable about a transaction or a contractor, take that opportunity to ask more questions. Contact the BBB at bbb.org or 651699-1111, toll-free at 1-800-646-6222.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Recommend R d reading di M Mueller ll reportt The Mueller report may be the most important read of my life. I'm in the process now. Those who haven't read it for themselves, and listen only to news sources or social media, will not know the full truth Mueller's team found. The report is very detailed with all the sources listed for the information given. The truth will set us free from what others tell us to believe!! Attorney General William Barr did all of us a disservice when he said Mueller found no case for obstruction of justice by the President. Mueller did no such thing. Barr told us a lie. The only way we can decide for ourselves what obstruction Mueller found is to read the report. I challenge all Americans to make an honest search for themselves of the documented facts in the report. Otherwise, we have no basis for really knowing what happened, except the claims of social media and our own favored news sources. One thing is certain, the Russians tried to undermine our election process, and are still doing it as we move toward the 2020 elections. How do I know? All documented in Part 1 of the Mueller Report. Read it, and act through members of Congress and state officials, to secure our elections from foreign influence.

Letter writer missed mark on district plans As a participant of the White Bear Lake Area School District Facilities Planning Team, I’m writing in response to the recent letter that missed the mark regarding future development plans.

M iin h il 17 Whit Bear B P A ti Moore her A April 17, 2019 White Press Article on the issue, “Engwer said the district would be looking to purchase houses if residents are interested in selling. She said she doesn't think the district wants to use eminent domain.” I understand it’s a complicated resting place for those with houses near the property. It's also on opportunity for those who see risk in the current plan to become involved, work toward a plan they support, or learn why the current plan was proposed. Mr. King’s value as a resident is substantial, and his contribution is unquestioned. It would sadden us all not to have him, or his salad, as a resident of WBL. 3. The plan was not created by a few school board members, but was created by a 90-member committee and a 30-member subcommittee. All resided within the community and had broad socioeconomic and professional backgrounds. All saw the need. It was then proposed to the school board. I believe the amount of U.S. school districts that split high schools by grades is in the single digits, because it is not the best design for students. Communication with current students, alumni, and staff show strong support for combining high schools, and the diverse planning team believed two high schools in the district would not be ideal. I urge members of the community to consider this plan with an open mind. I personally like the location because of the neighborhood feel and close distance to White Bear Lake’s downtown. It has great potential to be good for our community and businesses. Joel Peck White Bear Lake

Pl i Commission C i i and d the th City Cit C il complete l t Planning Council shams. No adjustments are made to residents' requests. Sometimes leaders don’t even pretend to be paying attention to what residents are saying. It's very insulting and disrespectful. They are doing what they’ve decided. The high-density apartment buildings currently approved are probably to help fill the “expected” 8,000 riders per day for the pending Rush Line. City leaders are waiving minimum parking requirements, not caring about the chaos they’re creating for people who live around these apartment buildings. The latest high-density development will create an additional 726 “trips” per day on Linden Avenue. The majority will drive down Linden to Cedar Avenue, as there will likely be a traffic jam on Linden Avenue at County Road E since there is just one lane. Current residents on Linden Avenue will dodge traffic trying to get across the street to their mail boxes, not to mention the challenge of backing out of their driveways. With code for the minimum parking spaces waived, the developer says the rest can park on County Road E. Right. If you think it’s not going to impact your neighborhood, then you aren’t paying attention. Our leaders are changing the zoning, so once sold, only high-density can be built. They call it “reguiding” for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The first step to get our city back, and our voices heard, is to change the leadership. Anyone who will truly listen to residents and run against our current mayor, you will get tons of support. The loss of our democracy started at the top. And for all wards with a council person who doesn’t support your views, vote them out. Peggy J. Van Sickle White Bear Lake

Sheriff’s office issues overdose alert Four people have died in Washington County of suspected overdoses within the last few weeks. As of June 5, public safety officials have also used Nalaxone (Narcan), a life-saving medication used during an opioid overdose, four times in the past two weeks to revive those who suffered from a potential overdose. Public safety officials believe potent heroin or other narcotics mixed
with fentanyl are a likely factor in the deaths. Official tests are underway. Washington County Drug Task Force Detectives are investigating potential sources of the opioids. A mapping program, ODMAP, is used by the sheriff’s office and other police departments to monitor overdose spikes. “Though one death is too many, this spike in overdoses and related deaths is truly concerning, especially consider-
ing how significantly it is affecting the young adults in our community,” stated Washington County Sheriff Dan Starry. “As with every overdose death, I have directed our Drug Task Force to use every available resource in an attempt to find those responsible for spreading this deadly substance.” Physical signs of heroin overdose include pale or clammy face, slow breathing, limp body, blue or purple
lips or fingernails, vomiting, extreme sleepiness and low blood pressure. If an overdose is suspected, call 911 and use Narcan if available. Minnesota has a “Good Samaritan Law” that protects people from being charged or prosecuted if they act in good faith while seeking medical assistance for someone who is overdosing. From press release
Weapons charge: Gun found in woods after shooting at shelter BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — A suspect has been charged with a gross misdemeanor weapons violation after a shooting at Solid Ground homeless transition shelter last fall. Ernest Xavier Breland, 27, of Minneapolis, allegedly fled police after he fired a gun at Solid Ground on Century Avenue about 1:30 a.m. Nov. 4, according to court documents. A White Bear Lake Police Officer saw a man with an afro hairstyle, wearing white pants and a dark colored sweatshirt, leave a vehicle in the area and run
into nearby woods. A Ramsey County Sheriff's Office K-9 came to the scene and found a black sweatshirt. Officers located Breland after they heard a loud cracking noise in the woods. A Solid Ground security guard witnessed the shooting incident and was injured. He stated he was attempting to break up a conflict. A single gunshot was fired through a glass entry door. Shattered glass injured the guard's face. The guard's report was consistent with security camera footage. Police returned to search the area the next day. A 9mm Luger Hi-Point Model 09 handgun was found in the woods near where they found Breland. The casings inside the magazine matched one found near an
outbuilding in the area the day of the shooting. White Bear Lake Police Detective Andrew Burth requested testing for the DNA on the firearm. It matched Breland's DNA. Breland was previously convicted of first-degree robbery, so he is ineligible to possess a firearm. The maximum sentence for the gross misdemeanor charge made against Breland last month, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person (due to a prior felony conviction), is one year in prison and a $3,000 fine. He was also charged with misdemeanor fleeing police on foot, with a maximum sentence of 90 days and a $1,000 fine.

Speed, alcohol, no seatbelt factors that lead to deaths
As of mid-May, preliminary data from the Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety (DPS-OTS) shows 102 people have died on Minnesota roads since Jan. 1. Four main factors continue to contribute to the loss of life. Of the fatalities, 20 were speed-related deaths (20 percent), 19 were unbelted motorist deaths (19 percent),18 were alcohol-related deaths (18 percent) and10 were distracted-related deaths (10 percent). Three were from other factors. The summer months are the most dangerous on Minnesota roads. Buckling up is the first line of defense in a crash.

The Minnesota House approved a ban on the use of flame-retardant chemicals in certain products (HF 359). The legislation, authored by Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn (DFL-Roseville), protects fi refighters and children from the health risks associated with these toxic chemicals. The bill passed with overwhelming support and is expected to pass in the Senate. Rep. Becker-Finn’s legislation prohibits manufacturing or selling furniture, fabric and children’s products that contain flame retardant chemicals above a certain threshold. It also restricts the use of fi refighting foam that contains PFAS, toxic agents that have contaminated several drinking water sources in Minnesota. The governor is expected to sign this legislation into law. Flame retardants create unnecessary health risks for fi refighters and children. When they burn, flame retardants produce cancer-causing chemicals that have been linked to developmental and reproductive issues. Firefighters and children can inhale the carcinogens or absorb them through their skin. Studies have shown that flame retardants are also ineffective at stopping fi res.

BOAT SHOW: Ice boats are featured attraction this year FROM PAGE 1A
Boat Works. A second boat in the show, a 90-year-old ice boat owned by John Stasieluk, was also built at Johnson Boat Works. “Both owners have been involved with special projects related to their boats,” Oven noted. “John just built a barn on his Bald Eagle property to house the ‘Phantom,’ one of the last ice boats built at the Boat Works. We always try to make the boat show as local as we can so we thought we’d showcase these ice boats. People in White Bear may see an ice boat but never get close to one.” There are two basic kinds of ice boat: stern steerer and forward steerer. The Skeeter is a forward steerer, which has better visibility. As Driscoll attests, the boat is built for speed. And they are easy to capsize. “You have to pay attention,” said the seasoned sailor. Another seasoned sailor hauling his massive ice boat to the show is Stasieluk, who has been skimming the ice for 30 years. Named the “Phantom,” his “hard water” sailboat was built in 1929. He owns the classic wood boat with two other men, which helps because it takes six people to rig it. This is a return visit for Phantom, which appeared at the Boat Show nine years ago. The massive ice boat is an A class stern steerer that had a home on Lake Minnetonka for decades before Stasieluk bought it. These boats get passed around as their owners age out of the sport, he said. With 350 square feet of sail, the 1,200-pound ice boat is not for beginners. “The power of the boat is both scary and inspiring,” said Stasieluk, who also owns a 90-yearold Tudor on Bald Eagle Lake with wife Linda. Stasieluk doesn’t sail “soft water,” preferring piloting hydroplane boats in the summer. Obviously, he has the proverbial “need for speed.” “Ice boating is like riding on the short tails of Mother Nature,” Stasieluk replied when asked about the scariness factor. “I say that because you’re in Her grip. You won’t beat Her. She has complete control. You have to learn how to survive.” Driscoll concurs. “Ice boaters tend to be more aggressive,” he observed. “They love speed and they like danger. There’s a little of both in these boats. They are exhilarating.” If there is a downside for enthusiasts, it’s that conditions have to be just right with little snow and hard, thick ice to race the boats. Stasieluk takes a philosophical approach to ownership: SUBMITTED “If you’re thinking about Harry Allen, left, and John ice boating, it’s not how Stasieluk are principle ownoften you get out; it’s rides ers of the Phantom, shown per lifetime.” below on Bald Eagle Lake.

already found it in White Bear Township. The suspects had been spooked by a dog walker and fled the vehicle, leaving it running. They apparently entered a garage in White Bear Township and stole another vehicle, which was found later in Savage. They also left a stolen vehicle from Crystal in the North Oaks neighborhood, Fletcher said. Keller said the suspects pried open his truck with a special tool. His garage door opener was on the visor. The service door from the garage to the house was unlocked. They found
his keys just inside the house, along with his cell phone, and took his credit cards and cash from his pants pockets. He said he was thankful his handgun happened to be locked in his office that day and not usually where he keeps it at the front door; if the suspects had gotten ahold of it, tragedy could have occurred. Now, he sleeps within three feet of it. The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office Crime Prevention Unit noted it has also seen a general increase in reports of thefts from vehicles this spring. The office urges residents to do whatever they can to prevent “crimes of opportunity.”
neighborhood group vows to continue fight to ban carcinogen BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Disappointed that bills related to the chemical trichloroethylene (TCE) failed this session, the five women who lobbied the Legislature to ban the carcinogen refuse to give up. All live within the 1.5-mile radius of Water Gremlin impacted by toxic emissions of TCE, a cancer-causing industrial solvent. The Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group (NCCG), as they call themselves, includes Sherry Hastings, Kelly Tapkan, Leigh Thiel, Catherine Sullivan and Sheri Smith. All have professional jobs and careers. All are taking time from busy lives to focus on their mission: to understand the past; protect the future and to hold Water Gremlin accountable. The women helped legislators draft language for bills that would phase out TCE (making Minnesota the fi rst state to ban the chemical); dedicate penalty money paid by Water Gremlin for independent testing and health assessment in the area; and require agencies to inform schools about chemical contamination. "All three bills made it through the House and Senate and to conference committee and then things fell apart," said Hastings, NCCG president. "We were told it was last minute intervention from the pro-business Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and lobbyists from chemical companies." The women, dubbed the Fabulous Five by a township resident, put a lot of time and energy into the bills, but "we are not giving up," Hastings promised. "We will try hard to kick it up again next session." On a positive note, their efforts may have helped convince legislators to grant a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency request for nearly $800,000 to help companies transition away from TCE. The allocation from the environmental fund will evaluate the use and reduction of TCE around Minnesota and identify its potential health effects on communities. Up to $240,000 may be transferred to the commissioner of health. At a June 5 meeting at City Hall, NCCG thanked Rep. Peter Fischer and Sen. Chuck Wiger for their support. Hastings also thanked Sen. Roger Chamberlain, "although we were disappointed in how he voted in the end." The Lino Lakes republican was "instrumental in initially advocating for us," she said. "A lot of other people supported our bills,” added Hastings. “We will

TORNADO SAFETY TIPS – If you are in a house with a basement avoid windows, get in the basement & under some kind of sturdy protection. Know where heavy objects rest on the floor above you and avoid that area. If you are in a house with NO basement go to the lowest floor, small center room like a bathroom or closet or under a stairwell or in an interior hallway with no windows; & cover your head with some sort of thick padding to protect against falling debris. If you are in a store, hospital or office building listen for the facilities instructions; go directly to an enclosed, windowless area in the center of the building away from glass & on the lowest floor possible; interior stairwells are usually good places to take shelter & if not crowded allow you to get to a lower level quickly; stay off the elevators, you could be trapped in them if the power is lost. If you are in a car or truck & the tornado is visible far away, you may be able to drive away from its path otherwise park the car as quickly & safely as possible out of the traffic lanes; if you are in open country, run to low ground away from any cars, lift flat & face-down, protecting the back of your head with your arms; avoid seeking shelter under bridges which can accelerate the wind while offering little protection BENSON AIRPORT OPEN against flying debris.

try this again. Our efforts were torpedoed. If anything, it probably lit a bigger fi re under us to keep going." Those attending the meeting were asked how Water Gremlin's TCE emissions impacted them. Page Stevens said it has affected her on a personal level. "I've lived here 24 years. In 2006 I was diagnosed with leukemia; out of the blue. I underwent chemotherapy. Last year it mutated to a more aggressive cancer so I'm on a more aggressive chemo. Next week is my 30th round of chemo since 2013. It has taken the steam out of me and my poor husband. I open my door for fresh air and think, I'm probably not getting fresh air. I want changes and I want you ladies to keep fi ghting." Page's husband Denny Stevens is her full-time caretaker. He's angry and he's scared. "We bought the house of our dreams on Goose Lake and we can't even open the doors because we're afraid. Now they're (Water Gremlin) spewing more stuff and no one can stop it. Our own government could sign a bill to get TCE out but they don't. Because money is more important than people's health." Sen. Wiger apologized to the group. "I'm sorry we let you down," he said. "The phase out of TCE will get accomplished. And it will spread throughout the country." The senator acknowledged that he has been affected, too. Wiger has a daughter and grandson in the exposure area and that makes the issue personal. "You are doing this for my family," Wiger told the women, "and I so appreciate it." It should be noted that a comprehensive public health assessment is expected this fall from the Department of Health (MDH) for all

LOOKING BACK Week of June 9 – June 15, 2019 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1919 June 17 has been designated in a proclamation by Gov. Burnquist as Good Roads day in Minnesota. Under the law framed in the interest of highway improvement, the people of the state on that day are requested to contribute labor, material and money for the improvement of roads in their respective communities. 1944 After sporting an enemy position in advance of American lines, a patrol of nine men led by a White Bear Lake man wiped out a German machine gun nest without causalty to themselves, Private Edward P. Leick, Route 10k, lead the patrol. Private Leick’s brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Tessier, live at the same White Bear Lake address…There was some excitement on Wednesday when a report came to town that the body of a man was laying in a swamp near Bald Eagle Lake. Art Long and Dr. T. S. McClanahan rushed to the scene only to find the “dead man” was a hog…. 1969 Sophomore Ray Oczak garnered a tie for 12th place in the Minnesota High School Golf Tourney out of the 100 or so golfers who had qualified. Ray shot a very commendable 157 on rounds 77-80.

Mueller pledged one dollar for every mailed response Lake Mortuary received from an April 20 White Bear Press/Vadnais Heights ad congratulating LeClaire. White Bear Lake’s water level is up this year, which is good news not only for dock owners, but for residents with sprinkler systems capable
of pumping from the lake. The White Bear Lake Conservation District announced at its May meeting that the lake is officially high enough to allow water to be pumped out. Since 1990, district ordinance has prohibited drawing water from the lake when the level drops below 923.5 feet.

All monies in the following retirement vehicles are impacted by the volatility of the markets. These include Roth IRA, 401k, IRA, 403b, SEP, SIMPLE, and any variation of these. Depending on our individual time horizon, volatility is either very scary or some level of concern. As we are closer to retirement, volatility becomes more scary. Authors have been writing books and articles predicting the next market correction for a number of years. We know a correction is evident; the trick is to be prepared for the next correction. Recent volatility along with a couple additional factors we are watching may be telling us the next market correction is approaching.

There are two solutions to take volatility off the table with a portion of your retirement portfolio.

High school sailing teams cap successful spring season
JAY RENDALL | SUBMITTED
White Bear Lake’s (from left) Michael Hoffman, Patrick Levins, Matt Dresen, and Stella Townshend posed after placing second in the state coed competition on Bde Make Ska.
White Bear Yacht Club hosted three high school club teams this spring, all of whom concluded their season with good showings in their state meet May 2526 on Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun). In the coed competition, consisting of 10 teams in six races, White Bear Lake’s team of Matt Dresen, Stella Townshend, Patrick Levins and Michael Hoffman placed second, behind champion Orono. Mounds Park Academy’s Toby Sullivan, Jose Varela Castillo, Henry Seum, Stevie Olk, and Samantha Forgosh took third. Mahtomedi’s Cole Barre’, Kristen Geib, Luke Schmidt, Anika Liner, and Nick Lorentz placed fifth. In the boys two-person competition, Mounds Park Academy placed first with Sullivan and Seum. White Bear Lake placed fifth with Dresen and Levins, and Mahtomedi sixth with Barre’ and Lorentz, among 15 teams. Representing Mahtomedi in the girls regatta were Anika Liner, Kristen Geib, and Olivia Shores. Coached by two retirees, Karen Alness and Jay Rendall, the WBYC group had 24 members in the spring season. There’s also a fall session that had about 30 members. It was about 50-50 between boys and girls, Alness said. Alness and Rendall issued this press release about the 2019 teams: “The sailors worked hard during the spring season

despite practices in snow, cold, high wind, and no wind. They then performed well at the state championship regattas in difficult shifty and light wind conditions.” The coaches were pleased that MPA captain Sullivan won the boys championship in the last regatta of sailing in his senior year. And they noted that White Bear Lake, led by its captain, Dresen, pulled together a strong team this spring and finished second in the state — after not having enough sailors to sail as a team last fall.

Wakesurf Open planned during Manitou Days The first Twin Cities Wakesurf Open will be held Saturday, June 15, as part of Manitou Days on White Bear Lake. The event at White Bear County Beach, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., will include wake surfing competition (to enter, see tcwakesurf.com), a beach party with live music, Jumbotron, a bean bag tournament, food and drinks, and new product displays. Promoter Wes Klee describes the event as follows: “A family-friendly event for all, with tons of activities, food, and games, along with amazing wakesurfing, boats, and unique vendors all in the sand and under the sun.” The event’s purpose is to get more people exposed to wakesurfing and involved in the sport, said Klee, who intends to make it an annual event.

The spring season also included regattas on White Bear Lake, Lake Minnetonka, and Wayzata. Hudson usually has a meet, too, but this year’s was canceled due to high water. The high school club team is independent of WBYC’s summer season, which includes a sailing school, directed by Kate Cox, along with a youth regatta June 14 and large regatta with about 120 boats, for kids age 6-14, July 29-30.
White Bear Lake boys lacrosse ended the season as Section 4 runner-up last week and posted a 12-4 season record. The Bears scuttled Roseville Area 14-4 and Irondale 16-10 to reach the finals, where they fell to Mahtomedi 15-9 at home on Wednesday evening. Erick Bloom was the offensive spark for the Bears with 11 goals and nine assists in three games, including six of the team’s nine goals against Mahtomedi.
Thomas Boudreau logged 10 goals and one assist, Adam Woodcock eight and four, and Thomas Rodriguez junior three and five. Casey Cunningham had three goals. William Lemire capped a three-year tenure as the Bears goalkeeper, stopping 48 of 77 shots in the tournament. Bruce Strand

Bear triplets at state track
Jumbo jump earns Mahtomedi’s Fosdick state gold BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Ian Fosdick soars to a 48-1 triple jump here, winning the state championship.
3B
Mahtomedi senior Ian Fosdick peaked at the most optimum time and captured the gold medal in triple jump at the state track meet Friday, June 7. Fosdick uncorked a 48-feet, 1-inch jump on his first attempt in the Class 2A meet at Hamline. That was a full 2 feet, plus a half-inch, farther than his previous best. “I don’t really know how it happened,” he said, “but my coach (Thad Tumblson) looks at the video and measures how long each (jump) is. My first one is usually 16 to 17 feet, and it was 18 1/2 on that jump.” With a big lead, and his left heel hurting, Fosdick passed on his first two finals jumps. His second and third jumps in prelims (46-9 and 47-2 1/4) also would have won gold, as runner-up Edmund Ocansey of Champlin Park went 46-8. Fosdick did one last jump and got 46-8. Last year, he placed third with 44-4 1/4. Fosdick bruised his heel at the conference meet and got through sectionals and the first day of state OK. Saturday was another story. “It got worse, and Saturday it was kind of messed up. It was swollen,” he said. In long jump Saturday, he topped out at 20-1, not making finals. He won section with 21-5. Fosdick will continue his track career at Montana State and plans to major in architecture. Mahtomedi’s other state qualifier, Evan Johnson in 300 hurdles, had a 40.85 in prelims and did not make finals. Johnson, in his first year of track, had 40.75 at the section.
White Bear Lake triplets Maddie, Sam and Sophie Verkerke were participants in the state track meet Saturday, June 8. Maddie anchored the girls 4x800 team that placed second. Sam led off the boys 4x800 team that placed seventh, so each brought home a medal. And Sophie sang the national anthem. Sophie, who’s also on the track team, played in the state hockey tournament in February.

shot with your pivot, not your arms. This will defi nitely feel different than the way you’ve been hitting before, because you’re essentially taking your hands and wrists out of the swing. The downswing starts with a pivot of your lower body fi rst, with shoulders trailing. The clubhead will naturally release at the bottom of the swing and is done by allowing your right elbow to lengthen through impact. With the proper set up this happens automatically, which makes this shot so much easier to hit. You maintain the bend in your right wrist through and after impact, and allow your left elbow to slide along the left side of your body. The lower body pivots around your left leg, and I feel as if my right knee is “kissing” my left knee. At the end of the shot, I want to feel as if the butt of the club is in my left pocket. That’s easy to do if you keep your arms close to your body as I discussed above. At the fi nish, you want to pivot all the way through to your left side. The key is to make sure your hands are passive through the stroke and stay close to your sides for the entire

swing. Remember, the swing is made by the body pivot, not your arms. To hit a low chip, you will rotate your forearms and keep a bowed left wrist. You should feel as if the clubface stays closed on the backswing. I use this shot if I am 50 to 75 yards away from the green. This is the classic bump and run shot. My pivot speed will increase to adjust for the increased distance. The newer course designs, with elevated and undulated greens, have taken this shot out of play, which I think is a shame. But for many courses in our area this is a much better alternative than trying to hit a ¼ to ½ high lofted pitch shot.

Tee Here’s the set up: feet about 4 inches apart, Time stance slightly closed (right foot back) with Betsy Larey your weight on your left side. Ball position is the middle of your stance with your hands slightly in front of the ball with level shoulders. The easiest way to level your shoulders is to keep your left elbow bent and soft. For the swing, the grip end of the club pretty much stays in place while the clubhead is set with the hands and right elbow. You should have a slight pivot when starting the backswing, but your hands should never pass your right leg. The easiest way to make this shot happen correctly is to feel your biceps attached to your chest. They have to stay attached throughout the swing. This allows you to make the

n last weeks’ column, I discussed the need to have a consistent wedge shot around the green. Let me be clear on this, I think most poor greenside shots are due to how players set up to the ball. I teach this shot differently than a lot of other teachers, so if you are inconsistent with your short shots around the green give this a try. I’m often asked what’s the difference between a chip and a pitch shot. The chip is more roll than air, and a pitch is more air than roll. The chip is the shot you want to hit when you have fairly flat land between you and your target. You may have also heard it referred to as a bump and run. If you have to go over something (mounds, bunkers) then you’ll choose a pitch shot. The club selection does make a difference. I use a 56 degree sand wedge to hit this shot, but if I am faced with a deep uphill green in front of me I will use my gap wedge (50 degrees). Some choose a pitching wedge also. The basic chip shot is nothing more than the hitting area of a full swing. The only modifications are a narrower stance and your weight

Golden finish for Bear track great; relays also strong BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Erika Townley closed one of the greatest careers in White Bear Lake track-and-field history Saturday in appropriate fashion, with a gold medal around her neck, along with two bronzes. The Bears also had second- and third-place finishes in relays and placed sixth in the team standings. Townley, the pre-meet favorite in both hurdle races, placed third in the 100, then nailed down the elusive gold medal in the 300 on June 8. She placed second in both last year. Townley also ran a terrific anchor leg in the 4x400 to lift the Bears from seventh to third place. “I feel happy and thankful,” she said. “Winning at state has been my goal since I was a young girl. I always knew the 300 was my best chance, but I tried hard in the 100, too.” Winning the 100 was Edina’s Evelyn Adams, whom Townley beat in last year’s state finals and at this year’s Hamline Elite Meet. Also just ahead of Townley was Osseo’s Kelsie Sealock. “My start in the 100 was not the best. I was happy to make up for it the rest of the race as much as I did,” said Townley, whose time was a personal best. Different story in the 300. “Before that race, I said to myself, now is the time, the time to really step it up,” said Townley. The lanky soccer star posted another lifetime best of 43.08 and pulled away from Alexandria’s Kaya Pashka (43.92) and Adams (44.00). “I had a faster start than normal,” she said. “With two or three hurdles left I felt people coming up behind me but didn’t see anyone, and I did not let up at all.” Townley had one last amazing race in her — a 56.11 split in anchoring the 4x400 (the school record in the open 400 is 57.38) — as she powered past four runners. She teamed with Lauren Eckerle, Jordan Gast, and Bailey McCullough to post a 3:55.67, finishing behind Rosemount and Wayzata. Townley medaled nine times at state — first, second and third in the 300; third, second and ninth in the 100; and

fifth, fourth and third in the 4x400. “Erika has been the most decorated girl trackster in White Bear Lake history. So fitting to end her career with a state championship,” noted coach Richard Samuelson. It was the final track meet for the all-state midfielder who’ll play soccer at Drake University in Iowa. The Bears’ 4x800 quartet of Eckerle, Emily Brockberg, McCullough, and Verkerke was runner-up with 9:22.87, behind Minnetonka (9:20.54). They broke the school record (set last year) by seven seconds. Verkerke ran a furious anchor leg in 2:17 to get them up from fifth place to second. The Bears also made finals in the 4x200 and placed ninth in 1:44.20 with Madelyn Sanda, Caitlin Wallace, Danielle Madden, and Victoria Adebisi. That group’s 1:42.17 in the prelims set the school record. Adebisi did not reach finals in the long jump, going just 16-4 on the heels of a 17-11 3/4 at sectionals. The Bears tallied 39 points for sixth place. Rosemount won with 71.75.

Invasive mussels found in county lake
Zebra mussels have been confirmed in Bone Lake in Washington County. A watercraft inspector discovered juvenile mussels at the Bone Lake public water access. The lake is just east of Forest Lake. The DNR reminds boaters that law requires boaters and anglers to clean watercraft and trailers of aquatic plants and invasive species and drain all water by removing plugs and keeping them out during transport. Dispose of unwanted bait in the trash. Before moving to another waterbody, spray boat with high-pressure water, rinse with very hot water or dry for at least five days.

hurdler caps Bear career with 2 more state medals BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
White Bear Lake track star Conor McManamon closed his prep career with fourth- and fifth-place finishes in hurdles at the state meet Saturday. The Bear boys also had podium finishes in two relays — seventh in the 4x800, and eighth in the 4x400 — along with one in shot put. McManamon churned to fourth place in the 110 highs with 14.56 and fifth in the 300 with 38.85. His 300 time was a personal best. His 110 best was 14.50 in the sectional. “I’m very happy with that,” said McManamon. “The 110 was very tight, and only about four hundredths separated fourth place from second. And I got a PR in 300. The prelims Friday (when it was very hot) took a lot out of me.” That gave McManamon four state medals; he took fifth in the 110 and ninth in the 300 last year. His next track team will be the Gophers, as a preferred walk-on, where he intends to compete in decathlon. “Conor had an outstanding career. He finishes as our No. 3 all-time in both the 110 and 300 and we’ve had some extremely good hurdlers,” longtime coach Tom Paulson said. “His flexibility is a huge factor. We spent a lot of time working on that. He’s very hard-working, and he’s a student of the event. He’s a tough kid, too, and you have to be. You get banged up a lot, especially knees, in hurdles.” The Bears’ 4x800 team of Sam Verkerke, BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED Isaac Maruyama, Max Nelson, and Logan Conor McManamon, shown here Tanttu posted a 7:57.67 for seventh place, 11 during the preliminaries, placed fourth seconds better than their sectional time, and in the 110 and fifth in the 300 at state. missing the school record by just two seconds. “The best thing is, they are all juniors,” Paulson said. “They will be our nucleus next year. They get along real well and they are together in cross country, too.” The 4x800 quartet of Aaron Wahl, Nelson, Tanttu, and Adam Bear finished in 3:27.23 for eighth place after a 3:25.11 prelim. Andrew Kohnen, senior, placed ninth with a 50-11 shot put, just under his section throw of 51-4. Sean Ruohmaki did not reach finals in discus with 126-4, well off his 147-10 at section. Also not reaching finals were Kevin Boeing with a 38-5 triple jump (after 43-5 at section) and Tanttu in the 800 with 1:59.91. The Bears placed 15th in team points with 18. Hopkins won with 78.

Zephyr softball posts one win at state, between two 7th-inning losses BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Mahtomedi lost two close games at the state softball tournament while also picking up the school’s fi rst-ever state tourney win last week. The Zephyrs fell to Becker 5-4, beat Detroit Lakes 13-4, and lost to Benilde-St. Margaret’s 9-8, in Class 3A, at Caswell Park in North Mankato. They fi nished 14-10-1. “They have worked very hard this year on understanding teamwork, and understanding that everyone has a role to play,” coach Skip Hagle said. “The second game, against Detroit Lakes, they all played a part in the win. Very proud of this group.” Mahtomedi also pulled off a triple play in the third game, keyed by Megan Neubeck, one of the defensive highlights of the tournament. In Mahtomedi’s only previous state trip, 2016, they were 0-2. Top Zephyr hitters at state were Emma Nelson, 6-for-13 (.462) with four runs; Grace Hadlich, 4-for-11 (.364) with two doubles and four RBIs; Neubeck, 5-for-13 (.385) with three runs and three RBI’s; Olivia Van Hout, 3-for-11 (.273) with four runs and two RBIs; and Claire Wirka, 2-for-7 (.285) with two RBIs. Haley Rosenthal pitched 19 of the 21 innings, with Abbie Kujawa pitching 2 1/3 frames against BSM. Against Becker, the Zephyrs led 3-0, fell behind 4-3, pulled even, and lost in the last of the seventh. Cadence Koste had the game-winning RBI double for Becker and Corrie Weise pitched.

The Zephyrs, beaming, reminded everyone that they were seeded No. 4 as they collected their third straight section championship trophy.
Mahtomedi, fueled by snub, grabs another section LaX title BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
After earning section titles two straight years, and four of the last five, the Mahtomedi Zephyrs were a bit miffed when they saw this year’s section seedings. “We had chips on our shoulders. Everybody doubted us,” said E.J. Charpentier, the Zephyr scoring leader. “We got seeded fourth. We were not too happy about that. We took that personally.” After capturing yet another Section 4 title, beating White Bear Lake 15-9 on Wednesday evening in the finals, the Zephyrs rubbed it in a little. During the championship team photo, all the players, coaches and managers held up four fingers. The Zephyrs (11-5) dominated the section finals at White Bear Lake, leading 10-1 at halftime and 15-4 early in the fourth period. The Bears closed the gap by scoring the last five goals. “We knew our strengths matched well with their weaknesses, and we exploited that,” Zephyr captain Connor Stoker said. Charpentier led Mahtomedi with seven goals. Stoker added five. Ian Arnt, Nathaniel Graslewicz, and William Urbanski had the other goals.
Erick Bloom notched six of the Bears’ nine goals. Gus Magnusson was in goal for Mahtomedi the first half, giving up just one goal. Xander Williams played the second half. Mahtomedi was seeded fourth because they had five losses in the regular season while Stillwater had none, Irondale two and White Bear Lake three. But those five losses came against teams with a combined 53-10 record. One of them was Stillwater, which was 14-0 before Mahtomedi tripped them 13-11 in the section semifinals Monday. Charpentier had six goals, Graslewicz three and Stoker two. Mahtomedi (11-5) is seeded No. 4 at state and faced No. 5 St. Thomas Academy on Tuesday (see presspubs. com). Other pairings were Lakeville North vs. Eden Prairie, Wayzata vs. Prior Lake, and Centennial vs. No. 1 seed Benilde-St. Margarets. If the Zephyrs won, they’ll face Centennial or BSM on Thursday, 5 p.m., at Minnetonka. The losers of those games meet 11 a.m. at Minnetonka. Coach Pete Moosbrugger said it was “such a difficult year” with heavy rain limiting practice time, and a spate of injuries. Fortunately, the Zephyrs finish their regular season early.

“We left the last week of the season open, and we really needed that week and a half,” Moosbrugger said. “Number one, to get healthy. Number two,
to fix what we needed to fix. We never had more than a day or two between games to fix things before that.”

Mahtomedi got strong pitching in three straight games but the season ended with a 2-0 loss to Hill-Murray in Section 4AAA last Wednesday. The Zephyrs, 2018 state champions, fi nished 14-10 overall. They were 3-2 in the sectional at Northwestern University in Roseville. Having lost to Hill-Murray earlier, the Zephyrs stayed alive beating St. Paul Central 7-1 and Fridley 2-0. Against Central, Johnny Devore and Luke Loughlin each pitched three scoreless innings. Andrew Murphy was 2-for-2 (double, two RBI) and Loughlin had a triple and RBI. Loughlin whitewashed Fridley on three hits while Ricker and Murphy knocked in the runs. However, the Zephyrs managed just three hits against Hill-Murray's Tanner Behr, as Devore’s three-hitter with nine strikeouts went for naught. Bruce Strand

History of Flag Day The Fourth of July was traditionally celebrated as America's birthday, but the idea of an annual day specifically celebrating the Flag is believed to have first originated in 1885. Bernard Cigrand, a schoolteacher, arranged for the pupils in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to observe June 14 (the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of the Stars and Stripes) as 'Flag Birthday'. In numerous magazines and newspaper articles and public addresses over the following years, Cigrand continued to enthusiastically advocate the observance of June 14 as 'Flag Birthday', or 'Flag Day'. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day. From www.usflag.org

Financial Management Ways to stretch your money further
Living on a fixed income requires seniors to monitor their spending more carefully than they likely had to while they were still working full-time. Living on fixed income after retirement requires that many retirees make some financial concessions. Retirement income likely won’t equal the income professionals earned while they were still working, so men and women approaching retirement may want to begin prioritizing their purchases and choosing which luxuries they can and cannot live without going forward.
Managing on a fixed income may necessitate some changes, but a little frugality and financial wherewithal can ensure seniors need not compromise too much during their golden years. · Change your dining habits. Many people enjoy meals out on the town after getting home from work and spending time with the family. Retirees have more flexible schedules, and adjusting the time of day when they dine out can add up to considerable savings. Many brunch and lunch offerings are less expensive than dinner menus, and seniors can use this

to their advantage. Meet up for lunch and spend less. If you prefer take-out, order from the lunch specials and then reheat your food at dinnertime. · Ask about senior discounts. Various restaurants, stores and other retailers offer senior discounts. Inquire about discounts before making purchases and take advantage of any offers. · Pool your resources. Bulk shopping clubs enable individuals to save money on the cost of many goods and services. However, for seniors living in two-person households, it may seem counterintuitive to purchase items in bulk. Split the cost of shopping club memberships with fellow retirees. This allows you to get discounted prices without having to store excessive amounts of food. · Shop around. Instead of shopping only at stores you’re familiar with, go where the deals are. Many people are surprised to learn that drug stores often charge less than supermarkets for personal grooming products and household supplies. Shopping online also may yield some good deals. Before making any online purchases, familiarize yourself with shipping costs, which may negate the savings. · Sign up for rewards programs. Rewards programs may lead to a few extra promotional emails throughout the week, but the savings reaped can be considerable and well worth nuisance of seeing your spam folder fill up each day. Many savings clubs have replaced traditional coupons, saving seniors the effort required to scan circulars looking for deals.

Loon Chronicles IV: it’s not over yet
AFTER LAST WEEK’S STORM, THE LOONS ABANDONED THEIR NEST. THE HEAVY WINDS AND BIG WAVES MUST HAVE BEEN TOO MUCH FOR THEM. THE NEST IS NOW A FLATTENED MESS WITH NO SIGN OF LIFE.
What a week to be out of town! Fortunately, Anne Sundal, our other Loon Whisperer, was able to keep us posted, on a daily basis, until we made it back out on the lake. According to Anne, last week’s storm was a doozy and most likely too much for the Loons to handle with the heavy wind and wave action. The day after the storm, their nest appeared flattened and no sign of the eggs. By the end of the week, the Loons were, once again, swimming around our manmade nest, to which Anne continues to add bulrushes, mud, and debris. While still out of town, two Loon-loving neighbors on the Birchwood shoreline tracked us down to let us know about another pair of Loons that had been trying to build a nest near the floating bogs in Wildwood Bay. We could not wait to get back to White Bear Lake to follow up on all this news. Starting on the Birchwood shore, we spotted a pair of Loons whooping it up with wild calls, penguin dancing, wing flaps, and wing rowing. The show did not last long, and they soon took flight to parts unknown. We checked out the nesting area, but much like the nest on the other side of the lake, things looked pretty soggy. The good news is that the pair did return later in the day. On the other side of the lake, we were greeted by the Loon pair we have been following all spring. They appear to be actively looking for a new nesting site. At one point, one of the Loons checked out the old nest, but most of it was under water. While the pair swam off to go fishing, we did spot a huge Heron busy preening and a Muskrat chomping away on some bulrushes. We checked out Len’s nest and found a Wood duck family enjoying a morning nap in the sun. Fingers are crossed that all four of these determined Loons will outsmart Mother Nature and surprise us all with some healthy chicks. There is still time for a second round.

Living outside town ordinance; variance requests aplenty BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Requests for variances took up a good portion of the June 3 Town Board meeting. All but one applicant got their wish. Supervisors approved the following requests: • A sideyard setback variance at 2630 South Shore Blvd. Homeowner Marilyn Svee plans to replace a one-car garage with a new, 24x24 foot garage. Town Chair Ed Prudhon noted that it has “always been town policy to approve variances to allow two stall garages. It's a reasonable use.” • Two 5-foot lot width variances for property at 514X West Ave. owned by Kent Jefferson. He plans to subdivide his vacant lot into two 20,000-square-foot pieces. The lots are 75 feet wide; standard is 80 feet. The lots vastly exceed minimum size, which is 12,000 square feet in the township, so the request was granted. The board added conditions regarding drainage and easement access, and tacked on a park fee. There can be no variances on any new homes built on the property. • A variance for an in-ground lakeside swimming pool at 5691 Orchard Ave. Rick and Kim Lucio also received approval for a green space variance. Prudhon felt the 392-square-foot pool was too close to the lake, but did not vote against it. • A right-of-way setback variance at 5932 Hobe Lane. Homeowners Kevin and Julie Lund plan to replace a small detached garage with a 1,265-square-foot attached garage. A mud room accounts for 133 square feet of the total. The township normally allows 1,000 square feet maximum for a garage but there are exceptions: if lot size exceeds 22,000 square feet and/or property abuts water. The lakeside lot meets both requirements. • A sign variance for White Bear Maker Space, 5966 Hwy. 61. The business is behind the Holiday Store and Bald Eagle Quick Stop off County Road J.

Bill Patrick, center, was thanked recently for his 38 years of service with the White Bear Township Planning Commission. Town Clerk/Treasurer Patrick Christopherson described Patrick as “a strong protector and advocate” for the township through his years of volunteer work. “During his unprecedented tenure, Patrick has been witness to a truly unique growth process within the Township, and has performed to the best of his abilities to preserve our unparalleled position regionally,” Christopherson said. Joining Patrick were members of the Planning Commission, from left: Beth Artner, Monica Loes, Ron Denn, Steve Swisher, Zack Flann and Town Planner Tom Riedesel.
hibits signage on adjacent property but since the business is tough to see from the highway, the board allowed an exception. The owners have permission to erect a simple 4x6 wood sign on the Bald Eagle convenience store property. • Denied request by Westin Woods, a 130-unit apartment complex, to run sprinklers from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Town ordinance does not allow night irrigation. Supervisor Steve Ruzek felt it set bad precedent to “change policy” and “dilute” the ordinance. The board said it would not consider other requests to irrigate outside the ordinance so don't bother asking. In other business June 3, the Town Board: • Approved a modified landscape plan at the Three Oaks development. Several neighbors spoke during a public hearing regarding oak trees that were supposed to be saved but were cut down on the south end of the North Oaks Company development.
Centerville Road resident Jake Walton lamented the loss of the large trees screening his property from the new homes. “I don't feel the company did their due diligence to save these trees. We will never see oaks of that size again. They wiped them out. It feels sneaky and underhanded. They should have shown more respect for those trees.” Walton quipped that the development is called Three Oaks because there will only be three left on the property. Prudhon commented, “unfortunately, this has happened before in the township.” North Oaks Company Vice President Gary Eagles told the board the trees were diseased and needed to be removed. Existing trees on the west end of the site were also of higher elevation and did not provide the intended screening; something that shrubs would better accomplish. The company's modified plan showed shrubs and 42 trees along the southern border. The original plan called for 58 trees.
The board approved a plan requiring 66 shrubs and the original 58 trees. Prudhon abstained as a nearby property owner. Eagles noted that four lots have been sold so far of 28 in the development, which is being marketed to empty nesters looking for a one-level villa home design. • Approved an archery deer hunt this fall at Tamarack Nature Center (Oct. 28-30 and Nov. 18-20); Otter Lake (Oct. 11-13 and Nov. 1-3); Poplar Lake (Oct. 11-13 and Nov. 1-3) and Benson Airport (Oct. 11-13 and Nov. 1-3). The hunt is coordinated by the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department as part of its deer herd reduction effort. • Ended the probationary period for Town Clerk/Treasurer Pat Christopherson, giving him full-time status. “I don't think we could have hoped for anyone better to replace Mr. Short,” Prudhon told Christopherson. The clerk said he was “happy to be here.” • Rescheduled the June executive meeting to June 21.
MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Mahtomedi City Council at its June 4 meeting took the following actions: • Approved the 2020 Budget Calendar. Department heads will prepare their budgets by early July, and on July 16 council will set the public hearing date of the Levy Certification for Sept. 3. Washington County will distribute Truth in Taxation notices and public hearing notices by mid-November. The public hearing for the budget and levy consideration will take place at the Dec. 3 regular City Council meeting. In late December, the fi nance director will submit the fi nal levy to the county and will prepare the fi nal budget document. • After discussion, approved a detour agreement with the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) for the Trunk Highway 244 detour, as a result of culvert repair just to the west of Birchwood Road. MnDOT is required to completely close TH 244 from Old Wildwood Road to Birchwood Road and redirect traffic. The detour will route non-truck traffic south along Highway 120 to Long Lake Road east to northbound Lincolntown Road to return traffic to 244. Large truck traffic will be rerouted onto Highway 120 to I-694, from there to Highway 36, and fi nally to Hilton Trail. • Following a discussion, approved a drainage and utility easement from Washington County for a storm sewer on the library site. The city requires an easement to be dedicated over the storm water pipe running through the library property as part of the Glenmar Avenue Storm
Sewer Project. Engineers designed a city storm sewer pipe to run from the small pond on Hallam Avenue through the library property and out to Stillwater Road. Work on this project will start in mid-August. The library will close in July. • Approved a cost sharing agreement with Washington County for the storm sewer on the library site. The agreement outlines the costs for which the city will be responsible. Construction costs for the storm sewer pipe is the city's responsibility. • Awarded the 2019 contract for sanitary sewer cleaning and televising to Pipe Services in the amount of about $45,000. • After discussion, considered bids and awarded the contract for the Lake Links and Forest Avenue Trail projects to Sunram Construction in the amount of about $462,000. • Hired two full-time fi refi ghter/paramedics at the Step One, Grade Eight level with a starting annual salary of about $56,300. The hiring is contingent on the successful completion of various evaluations and background checks. The department received 10 applications for the two positions. Currently, the department is staffed by 20 personnel. Resignations are expected, so the department is still struggling to maintain a viable level of paid on-call staff, Chief Terry Fischer said. The department receives approximately 240 fi re calls each year, with 960 calls over all, he said.
• Heard the buckthorn removal report from Public Works Director Bob Goebel. Some 85 people signed up to remove buckthorn from Katherine Abbott Park during the weekend of June 1-2. The buckthorn removal party was attended by Sen. Chuck Wiger and Commissioner Stan Karwoski. Buckthorn was removed from the trail along Lincolntown Avenue and from the hillside of the eastern trail. The city will burn the buckthorn piles this winter and chip the piles along the trail, Goebel said. The city also plans to continue to remove buckthorn and pick up the piles that are scattered around the city. • Heard the 2019 street improvement report from City Engineer John Sachi. The Echo Lake project is progressing nicely without surprises, he said. The fi rst phase is now completed, and the second phase is about to begin. The Echo Lake project is expected to be completed in August. Phase 3 of the Edgecumbe Road improvements project continues and will be completed by July. The Briarwood Area Improvements Project is also expected to be completed in July. However, the city will delay advertising for bids for the Birchwood Avenue/Lost Lake Court improvement project until 2020 because bids received so far for the project have come in “ridiculously high.” It is now starting to be too late in the season to start the project, he added. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 18 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

Last week was relatively quiet with the lone exception on Tuesday, June 4 when a heavy thunderstorm moved through the whole area. I totaled less than 1 inch of rain and some small hail. The smoke that had been with us for about a week cleared and we enjoyed a nice stretch of somewhat dry weather. The Airport’s temperature of 90º on Friday was the first of the year, and with dew points in the low 60’s it was somewhat manageable to be outside. I only recorded 88º. A slow- moving cold front over the weekend didn’t arrive till the afternoon on Sunday, bringing us a light shower but it was fairly brief and the evening was pleasant. Nature Note: Lawns are green and lush, no need to water. White Bear Lake level is at 925 feet 3 inches.

HEART-TO-HEART: As Parents Age A WINE AND LEARN EVENT FOR WOMEN
Thrivent Community – Landmark
Some conversations are too important to wait. We are all getting older. Now is the time for a heart-to-heart with your parents or children about family goals, wishes and potential needs—so you can all be ready. During this interactive workshop, you will learn about: • The impact caregiving can have on relationships and finances. • Key financial and legal information that will help support your loved one. • How to initiate healthy heart-to-heart conversations. We encourage you to bring an appropriate family member—or a friend who finds themselves in a similar situation—who would benefit from this information.
