Starbucks will be the new brew in town

Looking forward to a bright future

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — The name of Punch Neapolitan Pizza’s twin has been announced — Starbucks. The cafe will be located next to Punch Neapolitan Pizza at the intersection of Highway 96 and Centerville Road. Construction will begin in July, said Jim Volp, owner of the building in Heights Plaza. Punch Pizza has been under construction this spring, and its sign went up a few weeks ago. Starbucks hopes to open shortly after Labor Day. Punch Pizza plans to open in mid-October. The new Starbucks will have a layout similar to its chain of stores, said Volp. But Starbucks plans to outfit the store with higher-grade products than some of its stores due to the prime location. It will have higher-grade upholstery and better furniture, said Volp. “The corporate [leaders] wanted the store pretty bad,” Volp added.

Coffee and pizza There are also business connections between Punch Pizza and Starbucks, in a roundabout way. “Co-owners of Punch were the original starter-uppers of Caribou,” said Volp. John and Kim Puckett co-founded Caribou in 1992 and sold it in 2000. They partnered with John Soranno of Punch Pizza in 2001. The Italian pizza place had always been their favorite restaurant. So why not a Caribou next door instead? John Puckett explains himself: “The funny connection is my wife and I started Caribou Coffee,” he said. A real estate development staff member whom they

37 years after his trans-Atlantic voyage, where is Gerry Spiess BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

The mariner who put White Bear Lake on the map has not lost his sense of humor or his keen intellect. There is still the wanderlust gleam in his eyes. But Gerry Spiess has taken his last big adventure. At 75, the world-class voyager is content to teach his dog Boomer new tricks and tinker in his workshop. He tires easily and isn’t much for company. Spiess has also been living with Parkinson’s disease for the last decade. Spiess, of course, is the celebrated sailor who crossed the North Atlantic in 1979 aboard Yankee

Girl, a 10-foot plywood boat he built in his garage on Floral Drive. That was followed in 1981 with a solo trek from California to Sydney, Australia, in his beloved vessel. Now living quietly on 600 acres near Hinckley, Spiess and his wife Sally enjoy the solitude of a personal nature preserve that extends far beyond their living room windows. In a rare interview with Gerry near the anniversary of his June 1, 1979 crossing for England, the Press sat in that living room to talk about his life, his adventures and the challenges he’s faced. A National Geographic World Atlas sits on a glass coffee table. The atlas is one of his two favorite books, Spiess said. The other is the

dictionary, something he reads frequently. It was among the myriad items he carried on his ’79 voyage. It’s obvious this is a man who loves books. Also among the 1,500 pounds of cargo was a Bible, 40 issues of Reader’s Digest, “A Dictionary of Fishes,” Goode’s World Atlas, “Water and Marsh Birds of the World,” “Walden and Other Writings” by Henry David Thoreau, “Don Quixote” by Miguel de Cervantes and Mark Twain’s “Roughing It.” “Give me an atlas and a dictionary and you can put me in a box right now,” Spiess joked. That’s essentially what he did in Yankee SEE SPIESS, PAGE 9A

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Mahtomedi City Council took the following action at its June 7 meeting: • Heard a presentation from Washington County Library Director Keith Ryskoski and Wildwood Library Manager Megan Olson on the status and goals of the library. Enough people walked through the doors of Wildwood Library in 2015 to fill the Xcel Center three times, Olson said. Over the past year, the top book checked out was "The Girl on the Train" by Paula Hawkins; the most popular DVD borrowed was "Jurassic World" and the No. 1 book club read was "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr. "The Washington County Library system holds resources that people in the community pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for what they can get for free,” Ryskoski said. • Approved the 2017 budget manual and calendar. The manual will assist department heads in their presentations and discussion with council during upcoming finance meetings. A “no-growth” operations budget will be based on the 2016 budget adjusted for special one-time projects or appropriations and is intended to maintain the current level of services for 2017 while considering reduced resources, Finance Director Scott Schaefer said. The calendar includes the additional joint work session with the Finance Commission to have department heads present their budgets and respond to questions at the meeting. • Formally accepted a gift of $5,000 from American Legion Post 507 for the Veterans Memorial at Triangle Park. • Formally accepted a monetary gift of $100 in the memory of former City Councilman Philip Hinderaker from John and Julie Henrickson for improvements at Katherine Abbott Park. “Hendrickson and Hinderaker were very instrumental in acquiring Katherine Abbott Park for the city,” Councilwoman Lael Ramaley said. • Approved the final construction pay voucher in the amount of $22,700 for T. A. Schifsky and Sons for the 2014 street improvement project. • Authorized the preparation of the feasibility report for phase 3 of the Historic District improvements. • Authorized the Public Works Department to hire a seasonal employee at $11 per hour, contingent on the successful completion of various background checks. This employee will fill a vacant position. • Approved a request by Fire Chief Terry Fischer to hire a probationary paid on-call EMT-only person, contingent on the successful completion of various background checks. • Authorized a request for PERA to conduct a cost analysis of the statewide volunteer firefighter retirement plan (SVFRP). The plan is voluntary and open to fire departments as a replacement of their existing volunteer firefighter retirement plan. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 21 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

MAHTOMEDI — The spacious Piccadilly parking lot is now occupied by a large building, and remaining parking areas near Triangle Park are occupied by vehicles belonging to people working on the large building. Parking in Mahtomedi is starting to become a problem. Lots full, patrons of Willernie businesses along Stillwater Road are now parking on Mahtomedi's narrow residential streets. By a 4-0 vote, the Mahtomedi City Council at its June 7 meeting took its first steps to keep the narrow streets open by prohibiting parking on the east side of a 170-foot stretch of Forest Avenue between the boundary with Willernie and Greenwood Street (Councilman Richard Brainerd was absent). The boundary with Willernie is the line between the back of the businesses on the north side of Stillwater Road and the residences immediately to the north. The Willernie portion of Forest Avenue prohibits two-way parking for the nearby Willernie businesses, and now the Mahtomedi portion of that block also prohibits two-way parking for those businesses. It all started when residential property owners on that segment of Forest Avenue complained to the Washington County Sheriff's Office that they often could not get in or out of their driveways because of the parked vehicles, whose owners were often inside Roma's Restaurant. Parking has been an issue mainly on Friday and Saturday evenings. But as the weather warmed, parking on Forest Avenue has increased on Wednesday

and Thursday evenings, as well. With vehicles parked on both sides of Forest Avenue, residents trying to leave their driveways had to turn in the opposite direction they wished to go just to get out, a Sheriff's Office report from Sgt. Brad Marquardt said. Sometimes, parked vehicles partially obstructed the residents' driveways. Forest Avenue is a 24-foot-wide paved road that cannot accommodate emergency vehicles while parking is permitted on both sides of the street, a county parking study said. Even regular traffic moved through the gauntlet of parked vehicles with difficulty. City Engineer Jay Kennedy assured Councilman Joel Schilling that only two or three “no parking” signs would be posted on Mahtomedi’s short stretch of Forest Avenue south of Greenwood Street. “The signs will be up sooner than a couple of weeks,” Kennedy added. “I should think they'll be up very quickly.” “I suppose they're in the trunk of your car now,” Mayor Judson Marshall said. “Well, it will take a couple of days to locate and pound the posts,” Kennedy said. The county also recommended that the city consider prohibiting two-way parking on Birch and Greenwood Streets because the vehicles that can no longer use the parking spaces on Forest Avenue could begin parking on those roadways. However, city staff recommended continuing to allow parking on Greenwood and Birch for now and to keep a close eye on the streets near Forest Avenue after the signs are installed to make sure the congestion has been eliminated, not just relocated.

ed to end by 5 a.m. Monday, June 20, weather permitting. The work is part of a two-year project, which includes replacing the I-35E bridges over Goose Lake Road, resurfacing and widening the road, re-decking and widening the Highway 96 bridge, updating drainage, repairing or replacing guardrail, and constructing a trail. All businesses and residences will remain accessible throughout the project, but motorists should expect delays and long detours. The work is expected

A Father’s dance

y three-tiered strawberry wedding cake toppled to the floor just before the fi rst dance at my wedding reception last May. I was surprised at my calm reaction. I had decided ahead of time that my focus of the day was going to be on admiring my new husband, not all the details I had so carefully planned. But I didn’t imagine I would be so composed when a crash and a gasp from the crowd caused every head to turn to the bride. “Don’t worry, there is plenty of cake,” I announced to the guests. And we proceeded with our fi rst dance and the rest of the night. We found it hilarious Story that the song we had chosen for the cake serving time was Chaser “Strawberry Avalanche” by Owl Sara Marie Moore City. But I woke up in the middle of the night several days later, moaning, “My wedding cake!” As I have sometimes done when disappointing things happen in life, I asked God why it had happened and where He was. His revelation left me astounded and changed the perspective of my faith. One of the most common ways God has revealed himself in the Bible is as Father. When I was questioning where He was when our wedding cake fell over, He reminded me of my father-daughter dance at the reception. I had just finished the fi rst dance with my new husband and the cake was still fresh on the floor. It was time for the father-daughter dance. I remember dancing with my dad as he said — with the tender emotion only a dad can have for his little girl — “I’m sorry about your cake.” At the time I appreciated his sympathy, but later I realized that his expression was what God wanted to express to me as well. God wasn’t hiding behind the wedding cake to push it over. He wasn’t absent as our painstakingly designed lilac-swirled cake adorned with flowers crashed to the floor. He was with me, expressing for me the compassion I would need for my soul. He was there with me, giving me joy through a dance even in the midst of disappointment. My dad’s statement and God’s revelation about His character through it made me realize God’s place in other disappointments and tragedies in life. A toppled wedding cake is a small thing in life. But God knew it was important to me and showed me His place in my life when it crashed over — as a loving Father who cares. When bigger “avalanches” come in life, I will remember where God is — He’s dancing with me as I bravely move forward, offering to me the compassion only a Father can give. The song I chose for the father-daughter dance is even more fitting in retrospect — “King of the World,” by Point of Grace. My husband and I also noted that our topper — a Precious Moments couple dancing — didn’t break, although it crashed to the ground. We took it as a metaphor that our relationship will weather the storms of life. By the way, our caterer redecorated the remaining bottom tier of our cake so we could still have a cake-cutting that evening. And we got a free replacement cake from the baker, which we set up in our house and danced the night away, just because. A Father who mourns over pain and brings restoration and redemption — it sounds Sunday School quaint, but this is real life now. Happy Father’s Day, dad. Thank you for the wedding dance. And Abba Father, thank you for dancing with me in the midst of life’s disappointments. Sara Marie Moore is editor of the Vadnais Heights Press and Shoreview Press.

Of sheep, scythes and lawns

nce upon a time, when my Great-Great-Greats were dukes and duchesses lounging around in the hills of France, they probably lived in castles (no indoor plumbing, of course), surrounded by acres of lawn. At that time, it was important to have an unobstructed view of your dominion, because you never knew when a marauding army might come rushing up out of woods trying to Movers and the steal your golden goblets. Back then, Shakers a lawn was more likely to be made Angie Hong of chamomile or thyme than grass, so it could also be plucked to make tea at bedtime or season a peacock for dinner. Sometime during the 17th century, grass lawns came into fashion, though only for the most wealthy landowners who could afford to pay a team of men to cut the grass by hand with scythes. When Europeans ﬁrst settled in the United States, no one could afford to waste time or money on lawns, other than the ones kept at the White House and other similarly prestigious locations. Often, sheep were used to tend lawns because they were willing to work longer hours and didn’t mind not getting paid. According to the White House Historical Organization, “The sight of sheep grazing on the south lawn of the

White House may seem unusual, but during World War I [when Woodrow Wilson was president], it was a highly visible symbol of home front support of the troops overseas. The ﬂock, which numbered 48 at its peak, saved manpower by cutting the grass and earned $52,823 for the Red Cross through an auction of their wool.” Eventually, as suburbs began to spread across the United States during the post-World War II era, Americans developed their current social norms surrounding lawns, which included the notion that lawns should only be comprised of grass and that they should be trim, tidy and green throughout the year. Power lawn mowers make quicker work than scythes, but the fact remains that today’s lawns have made many servants of our own dominions. This is the season where many folks are looking to their yards with an appraising eye, wondering how to battle the weeds in the lawn and how to keep up with the grass as it grows. A few strategies will help to make your lawn maintenance more manageable. First, avoid putting fertilizer down in the spring, as it will only make the grass grow faster (forcing you to mow more often) and tends to promote blade growth instead of root growth, making the grass less tolerant to drought during the summer. Set your mower blade higher (3-4 inches tall) to encourage deeper roots, and mow less frequently or not at all during dry spells in the summer. More and more, however, people

in our busy modern society are looking for ways to break the chains that bind them to their lawns. Sheep are apparently coming back in style as an eco-friendly option for larger expanses of lawn. In 2011, an assistant principal in Pennsylvania put several of his sheep to work on the school grounds, saving the Carlisle School District $15,000 in lawn-mowing expenses. Another, perhaps more practical, option that works well for sunny or partially shady lawns is called “no mow lawn”, made up of a blend of fescue grasses that only need to be mowed once or twice a year when they go to seed. Established lowmow lawns don’t need to be watered or fertilized and will naturally block most weeds. You can buy lowmow seed mixes locally at Houles in Stillwater or Forest Lake. The Pollinator Friendly Alliance in Stillwater (www.pollinatorfriendly.org) also offers instructions on how to establish a “bee friendly lawn” with fescue grasses, white Dutch clover, self heal and thyme. The group will be creating a Pollinator Park this summer at the corner of Owens and Laurel Streets in Stillwater (near Lake McKusick) that will include a bee-friendly lawn as well as prairie and pollinator gardens. To my knowledge, there are no plans yet to build a castle with sheep anywhere locally in the near future. Angie Hong is an educator for East Metro Water - www.mnwcd.org/ emwrep.

June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

rowing older can be a time of profound enjoyment and reflection, looking back on the years and how they were spent. But they can also be fraught with violence that goes unspoken, unnoticed and largely unreported. Consider Mark, a 65-year-old who has been fi nancially supporting his son and his two grandchildren on a fi xed income. He seems to be an unlikely victim of elder abuse. Unfortunately, Mark’s son became verbally and emotionally abusive and eventually it escalated to physical violence. Alice is 62 and has experienced abuse throughout her life from childhood, in her dating relationships and in her marriage. She managed to escape the violence in her marriage only to experience it at the hands of her daughter years later. Abuse in later life is not an isolated phenomenon. There are potentially 5 million victims each year nationwide and, as with other forms of domestic or sexual violence, elder abuse does not discriminate based on

ethnic background, gender or social status. Elder abuse includes neglect, maltreatment, ﬁ nancial exploitation, and physical, emotional and sexual abuse. It poses mounting risks to older adults as they age, their faculties fade, and they become increasingly vulnerable and in need of care. Tragically, it is often the caregivers, family members and conﬁdants that are Movers and responsible. June 15th marks Shakers the 10th annual World Elder Abuse Tina Bronson Awareness Day (WEAAD); a day to shine a light on the potential dangers our parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors may experience as they age. Each community needs to take action. Action can be a little extra notice, a little extra care with the older adults in your life.

Abuse in later life is happening around us. But with vigilance and focus, we can work to make our communities a safe and vibrant place, free of violence and abuse. If something seems out of place (unexplained bruises, changes in personality and behavior), ask questions to gain a better understanding. Questions like: • Is someone taking or using your money without your permission? • Are you afraid of anyone? • Is anybody hurting you? Inquiries like these can yield unexpected but critical responses if an older adult needs help. If you or someone you know is in an unhealthy or abusive relationship we want you to know that Alexandra House is here to support you. You

can call our conﬁdential and free 24-hour help line. Alexandra House offers client-centered advocacy services speciﬁcally for adults 50 and over. An advocate is available to meet in-home or in another safe location of the client’s choosing over the course of several weeks or months to help each person achieve his or her personal goals for safety and well-being.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Flags are flying

Every national holiday, the Kramer Berg American Legion of Willernie/Mahtomedi lines Mahtomedi Avenue with flags. It is no easy task, as three people make the stop at each pole in a pickup truck, stretch and stand in the back of the truck and place our American flag in the pole holders. It is a great reminder that we live in a country with the freedom to fly our beloved red, white, and blues along our main street. Thank you to our local veterans for your efforts to help us celebrate our country and freedom, thanks to all of you. Julie Ahlman and Mike Higgins Mahtomedi

Thank you public works As our town “gears up” for Manitou Days, we would like to pause and thank, in advance, the entire White Bear Lakes Public Works Department. Jan Holtz-Kraemer on behalf of The 2016 Manitou Days Committee

Focus on the future of Vadnais Heights

There is much to celebrate about living in Vadnais Heights. My husband and I enjoy walking the trails along Lake Vadnais and Sucker Lake and have recently explored trails around the multiple sporting fields at Kohler Meadows Park, while being well aware that we are probably only discovering a few of the many well-maintained recreational areas available in our city. What’s more, we are continually impressed with the high standards of street care, signage, and snowplowing, and the excellent communication we receive from the city, by way of notices and thoughtfully prepared newsletters. We are glad to be informed of our water quality, public safety issues, recycling and composting, and to be reminded of city ordinances and city celebrations, and to learn of the many new businesses, health facilities and farmers market coming into our area. When I review the Vadnais Press summary of council meeting proceedings, it gives me pause to think of the countless decisions and issues that come before Mayor Johannsen and our City Council that have

been deliberated, decided and executed to the benefit and enjoyment of residents. Many issues receive additional input and rigorous analysis from city staff, committees, agencies and other bodies of government. In all of this, has there ever been a mistake? A misjudgment, or project that did not turn out as planned? Well, this would be an extraordinary place indeed, if there wasn’t some error, conflict, or controversy at some point. A lot has been written in the press about the Vadnais Sports Center, and those controversies are part of our history. But, corrections have been made, our course re-charted; we are moving forward. I congratulate Mayor Johannsen and the council for successfully navigating the rough waters surrounding the Sports Center, while never losing sight of other pressing matters. We have learned whatever lessons were ours to learn. Now, let’s continue to focus on our future together as neighbors and colleagues, remembering that Vadnais Heights is a great place to live.

Young writers encourage music in the community

Nine District 624 students were chosen as winners of this year's Manitou Days Student Writing Contest. There were 81 entries this year and the nine winners are not ranked. This year's theme was “Musical Bears” and students wrote about why music is meaningful to them and their community. The prompt was, "What does music mean to you? What connections can you make between music and White Bear Lake?" Winners were each given $50 from the White Bear Lake Rotary Club. They were also invited to walk in the Manitou Days Grand Parade and enjoy a pizza and pool party with their families at the White Bear Lake Country Inn.

Music Education

The Concert

BY LEANNA ROSARIO 2ND GRADE MATOSKA INTERNATIONAL ELEMENTARY

BY BJORN LIEF 4TH GRADE LINCOLN ELEMENTARY

Music education is important because it helps you with your emotions and motivation. This helps kids do good in school. Music helps when you are sad, happy, or mad. It is a way you can express how you feel that moment. It can also help you relax and feel better. Music can help you be more creative, which helps kids do better in school. It helps kids to come up with ideas for the projects and art work. Music helps build community in school. It can help groups of kids to work together. To make good music you have to work together, listen, wait for your turn, and express yourself. Without music education some kids may not get to experience this at home. Who knows how this could impact a kid's brain or emotions, which might affect how they do in school and being a part of the community.

The start of this page Begins as I walked onto the stage I was as serene as could be The room was full Then I felt a pull From behind me I looked around And not making a sound Was my friend Nathan grinning back at me I chanted song after song Though they weren't that long It seemed a blissful eternity I sang The songs radiated an energy And I realized the power of synergy Finally I got out my recorder And I heard a parent say “It looks like the practice paid off!” People started to play Some started to sway As the anthem went on and on When we were done And the last songs were sung I headed to greet my family The End

What if there was no music in White Bear Lake? BY PRANAV SUDAM 4TH GRADE OTTER LAKE ELEMENTARY

There was silence everywhere. Since the law “No music in White Bear Lake” started, no one was listening to music. The city seemed dull and lifeless. Jack Brewer. a teenager, was the only one who was listening to music in White Bear Lake. Laws could not stop him because music was the essence of his life. Jack wanted to save music. Jack sent out flyers to all residents in White Bear Lake to come together and protest against this law. Many people wanted music back. Everyone agreed and decided to join hands to-

gether to save music. There were slogans everywhere which said “We Want Music Back.” The protest continued for weeks. About 12 families gave up. Soon the whole city gave up. But Jack was determined to save music and did not give up. This continued for about eight weeks. The government was shaken by his determination and decided to dismiss the law. That’s how Jack Brewer saved music in White Bear Lake. It’s been 25 years now, but Jack is still remembered by everyone for saving music in White Bear Lake. A statue of Jack Brewer was build as a tribute towards him for saving music.

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

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A 38-year-old woman just moving into the 900 block of County Road D on the afternoon of June 7 came out of her apartment building to get another armload of stuff and found a window on her vehicle smashed. Kids on bikes in the lot said they didn’t see who broke the window. • An erratic driver who told deputies he was heading home “after four or five beers,” didn’t do well on his field sobriety tests performed on County Road D just after midnight, June 5. The 22-year-old St. Paul man blew a 0.19 percent BAC and was booked at the Ramsey County Jail on a gross misdemeanor DUI charge due to a previous conviction. • A woman raised eyebrows at the Wal-Mart pharmacy the afternoon of June 5 by presenting a prescription for OxyContin, a painkiller. It was the third prescription from one provider’s office in recent days. The first two were successful, this one was not. The savvy suspect never returned to pick up the painkiller and meet awaiting deputies. An investigation continues. • A stolen 2005 Buick LeSabre was recovered June 1 in the 3400 block of Rice Street. No damage to the steering column was found. “The thief is probably my ex-wife,” the victim said about the incident, which was the second in recent days. “She has a set of keys,” he explained. Audio equipment and tools valued at $1,100 were also missing from the unlocked Buick. • A mother-and-son shoplifting team was arrested at Wal-Mart on June 4. Store video showed the 25-year-old man removing security labels from two DVDs and placing the DVDs in his mother’s purse. The pair was stopped as they exited the store. Mom, 58 and from Cambridge, and her son, from Madison, Minnesota, were charged with shoplifting items valued at a total of $33. • A loss prevention employee began following a pair of girl teens at Wal-Mart the night of June 4 after hearing one of them say, “Don’t we make a great team together!” The pair, a 16-year-old from White Bear Lake and a 17-year-old from Vadnais Heights, was charged with shoplifting lipstick and other items valued at a total of $77. Parents were contacted and asked to pick up their children.

• A value-oriented thief working the clearance aisle at Wal-Mart June 4 pocketed an AC adaptor reduced in price to $56. The 24-year-old Shoreview man was cited and released. • A woman new to the world of shoplifting — or at least she’d never been caught — was snared June 7 at WalMart for pilfering a T-shirt and a cellphone case, a total value of $17. The 22-year-old from North St. Paul has no criminal record but was booked at the jail because she also had no valid ID. Once identified, she was released. • A homeless woman was caught leaving Wal-Mart late on June 4 with $203 worth of audio cables, micro SD cards, flashlight, toothbrush and a pair of batting gloves. The 27-year-old was charged with theft and providing false information to police. Meanwhile, her boyfriend was found slumped behind the wheel in the lot with plates that didn’t match the vehicle. The 32-year-old homeless man, wanted on a felony warrant for burglary, was arrested and jailed for possession of meth. • A man killed time at Sak’s Sports Bar June 3 on County Road E while a prowler cleaned out his car, which had contained a backpack filled with school supplies and a duffel bag filled with clothing. The loss was estimated at $200.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • It’s recommended not to grocery shop on an empty stomach, but a trip to the liquor store means just the opposite: A 56-year-old Lino Lakes man purchased a bottle of vodka at the Cub liquor department, but an employee noticed the man could barely stand up. The employee took the vodka back and refunded the man’s money. Deputies arrived, the man blew a whopping 0.31 percent, and deputies gave him a ride to Ramsey County Detox. • A deputy arriving for an appointment at the Tamarack Nature Center on Otter Lake Road noticed a dog in a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta with a window half down on the warm June 5 day. When the deputy came out of the center 45 minutes later, the car and overheated dog were still there. He investigated but was unable to locate the vehicle driver. The deputy reached through the partially open window, unlocked the door, put the friendly brown dog in his squad with the air conditioning on and left for Hillcrest Animal Hospital, where the now comfortable animal will await its owner.

WHITE BEAR LAKE POLICE REPORTS The White Bear Lake Police Department reported the following incidents: • Theft was reported in the 3200 block of White Bear Avenue at 12:29 a.m. June 4. • A 27-year-old male from Pepin, Wisconsin was arrested for fourth-degree DWI in the area of White Bear Avenue at 2:12 a.m. June 4.

Resident charged with fraud

WHITE BEAR LAKE – Resident Randy Miland, 62, was charged with operating a Ponzi scheme through which he stole or attempted to steal more than $500,000 from purported investors. The federal indictment was announced by Minnesota Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman last week. Miland made an initial appearance before Magistrate Judge Steven E. Rau in U.S. District Court in Saint Paul June 9. Miland is a former chiropractor and had his license removed last year due to swindling allegations. Miland is charged with five counts of mail fraud and one count of money laundering. “As the indictment alleges, Randy Miland is a serial scam artist with no regard for his victims,” said Rothman. “He used fake investments to steal people’s life savings before, and now he’s done it again. The Commerce Fraud Bureau worked with federal authorities to stop his fraudulent schemes and protect Minnesotans.” “IRS-Criminal Investigation is committed to unraveling complex financial transactions and money laundering schemes. We will vigorously pursue those individuals who victimize investors and violate the public trust,” said Special Agent in Charge Shea Jones of the IRS-Criminal Investigation Division of the St. Paul Field Office. “The indictment of Randy Miland demonstrates the government's determination to restore and ensure that trust. According to the indictment and documents filed in court, Miland was convicted in 1999 in state court with theft by swindle and ordered to pay more than $1.5 million

in restitution to the victims of his scheme. As of May 2016, Miland still owed nearly the entire amount to his victims. According to the indictment and documents filed in court, Miland was convicted in 2006 of fraud in federal court and ordered to pay more than $250,000 in restitution to the victims. As of May 2016, Miland owed approximately $124,000 in restitution. According to the indictment and documents filed in court, between 2010 and 2014, Miland fraudulently solicited approximately $575,000 from investors, telling them that he would use their money to invest in futures and other legitimate investments. Instead, he used their money to pay personal expenses, including court-ordered restitution to victims of his prior scams, and to make Ponzi-type payments to other purported investors. According to the indictment and documents filed in court, Miland concealed from the new victims that he had been twice convicted of fraudulent conduct, that he was forbidden by the Minnesota Department of Commerce from offering or selling securities, and that he still owed more than $1.5 million in restitution to victims of prior schemes. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Joseph H. Thompson. This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS and the Minnesota Commerce Fraud Bureau. From press release

Artist’s work lives on at ArtReach after her death BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

Elizabeth Manfredi of Birchwood never saw her final exhibition: The landscape painter was accepted to show her artwork at ArtReach St. Croix, but sadly passed away last fall before she could see the gallery on display. Her exhibition, titled “Deceptively Simple,” now serves as a memorial show to honor her life and artistic talent at ArtReach through June 25. The gallery includes three pieces of artwork by her husband, artist Lewis Schnellman. “One is of Elizabeth, standing in woods where we both liked to paint in Arizona under the sycamore trees,” he said. “You can see the difference between her painting and my painting. I’m more into abstract, figures, people. She’s more into landscape. That’s why if you’re at the gallery you’ll see what I did is we would go out to paint a landscape and I would end up painting her in the landscape.” The rest of the artwork included in the show was created by Manfredi herself. Schnellman provided the gallery with a booklet explaining the story behind each picture, and the back of the book includes an artist statement and biography of Manfredi. “I didn’t include one for me. The show is mostly about her because it’s mostly a memorial show,” Schnellman said. Manfredi was very excited about the upcoming showing when her health

began to decline. “I had a show three years ago, and she liked the gallery and applied and was accepted, and she was really looking forward to this show,” Schnellman said. “We were going to leave Arizona early and come back and set this show up. What happened last year is her health started declining more rapidly, because when she was 20 she had Hodgkins disease. She was treated with radiation, which scarred the tissue around her heart and lungs. She had a bypass surgery in 2006, which affected that, so she lost breathing capacity and started going downhill with congestive heart failure.” Manfredi passed away on Sept. 4, 2015 at age 62—just a day before her birthday, and on the same day her best friend from high school in Chicago died. At the time, Manfredi had been working on a portrait of that friend, which is now on display in

the gallery. The show also includes artwork from trips to Europe and Arizona. Manfredi and Schnellman spent the last several years splitting their time between summers in Minnesota and winters in Oracle, Arizona. As experienced travelers, the pair found a natural rhythm in transporting themselves across the country. “It took us a little adjusting, but we adjusted pretty quickly since we both painted outdoors,” Schnellman said. “That’s how our relationship started. She had been doing that in France and Europe. I was invited to come over and paint with a group of other Americans and stay at this house where she was staying, and then this small group would go out and paint and that’s how I met her. She came back here, she was only in France for the summer, so she came back to Minneapolis and I was living out here in Birchwood.” Manfredi’s time spent learning in Europe was one of the biggest influences on her artistic style, Schnellman said. “Most of her training was in Europe, so she was really well founded on realism,” he said. “She first got interested in painting when she was a child. Her grandmother saw she was so interested, and she was living with her grandmother in Chicago at this time. They hired an art teacher, and she started teaching her, and then when she went to college. She was still interested but she didn’t get that kind of degree. She taught in high school, then into advertising and started working as an art director, that’s when she moved to Minnesota, and then she got much more interested in fine art painting and decided to quit and become a full time artist. That was big move for her to do that. And she was very interested at first in spiritual iconography, saints, things like that. At one time she was thinking she would just go and paint icons at some monastery somewhere, and when she went there was she realized that it wasn’t the life for her. There was a young Marine there who was

recovering from some wound or something, and she said she couldn’t keep her eyes off of him, so she knew she wouldn’t be good here at this place! She’d been to so many places and spent a lot of time in Europe. She got her art education there.” Not long after her return to the U.S., Manfredi suffered a severe concussion in a bicycle accident. At the time, Schnellman was teaching art at Century College in White Bear Lake, and volunteered to help care for her. “After the accident, she needed looking after, so her friend did it for a while and then I did it after she left there, and we got to know each other better,” he said. “Eventually we just were living together and eventually we got married. We were married for 16 years, and I knew her for 21 years.” The two merged their art studios, and worked out of a building in St. Paul’s Lowertown neighborhood. Schnell retired from his teaching post in 1999, just before he married Manfredi. “When I left, I went to the dean and said, ‘I want you to hire Elizabeth Manfredi because we’re going to get married.’ And she needed a job, and he did; it was very sweet of him to do that, although she had just wonderful credentials. She filled my space, but then quit the job to be together full time.” The two explored finding a warmer place to spend their winters, eventually settling on Arizona. Schnellman and Manfredi both taught art courses at community colleges in the area. They built a home near picturesque Mount Lemmon, just 80 miles north of the Mexican border. Schnellman remembers Manfredi as a passionate and vibrant personality. “She was what you call Type A, energetic, and it was sad to see her health fail slowly,” Schnellman said. “She was just so mad about it! She couldn’t stand it because she loved to get things done, she

was always optimistic, and she was on a spiritual journey all her life. She’d been to many different churches, but found the most from her Catholic upbringing. She and her friend Claire were in constant contact with each other, to the point where she would go down to Chicago and take care of Claire’s children when she was sick or having another child. Elizabeth never had any of her own.” Schnellman recalled a story told by a friend from Manfredi’s days in Italy, which Schnellman said was one of the best examples of Manfredi’s unique spirit. “She was in Florence with friend of both of ours, and he was leaving because he was on some kind of scholarship and had to go back to the U.S. But he said he wanted to stop at Pisa and see the leaning tower before he left Italy. Since Elizabeth had been there and knew area, she decided they probably had enough time to stop for a little. When they got there it was 3 a.m., the train stopped, they grabbed their luggage, raced down the empty road by the river, got to the tower and it was a full moon, and he said it was just beautiful. There was nobody on the streets, and it was gorgeous. Then they said, ‘Okay, we gotta get back.’ So they

ran and got back to the train just in time. That story is one of the best ways you could tell what Elizabeth was like. She was always optimistic, on the go, moving, traveling, and I really appreciate that because I had been working my way here in Minnesota for 35 years at the same school, and I thought, I just want to get out here and go places.” Between all of the international adventures and forays into the Arizona desert, Manfredi’s home in Minnesota played as much a role in her artwork as any of the scenic views in France and Italy. “She loved being here in the summer,” Schnellman said. “We would go down to White Bear Lake and sit in the evening and watch the sun go down. There’s a wonderful painting of that, a sunset with a lone boatman driving a boat across the lake. She was always working, her whole life. She was pretty energetic and really, really a good artist.” Manfredi and Schnellman’s artwork can be seen online at www.schnellmanfredi. net. Their artwork can also be seen in the “Deceptively Simple” collection at ArtReach St. Croix, which is located at 224 Fourth St. N, Stillwater.

STARBUCKS: Brewing in Vadnais Heights FROM PAGE 1A

worked with at Caribou now works at Starbucks. Puckett is excited to have a coffee shop next door to Punch Pizza, and doesn’t bat an eye that it is Starbucks. He describes Starbucks as “one of the best brands in my lifetime” and said the Twin Cities may be the only market in the world where Caribou surpasses Starbucks. Puckett just loves coffee, with pizza of course. “Both espresso coffee and pizza were invented in Naples, Italy,” Puckett said. Co-owner Soranno grew up in Milan, Italy. “Pizza, coffee and desserts are a great combination,” said Puckett.

Puckett thinks the Starbucks will do well business-wise, as there are no other Starbucks within five miles of Vadnais Heights. Volp doesn’t think the new Starbucks will negatively affect business at the Caribou a block away, at the intersection of Highway 96 and I-35E. “That Caribou cannot handle the amount of business it has caught,” said Volp. “It was No. 1 in the state. They got so much I don’t think it is going to hurt them a whole lot.” And Volp doesn’t think Caribou next door will dampen the new Starbucks business, either. “We’ve got a better location for getting in and out than Caribou does,” he said.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP TOWN BOARD NOTES The White Bear Township Town Board took the following action at its June 6 meeting: • Authorized the five-year continuation of a special home occupation permit for Viking Auto Repair, which Michael Lawrence operates at the rear of his home at 4415 Otter Lake Road. Lawrence was told he would need to apply separately for permission to increase the size of his existing sign, which he said was often overlooked by customers attempting to fi nd his business. • Following confusion regarding the meaning of the term "initiate a permit," approved the wording for a new defi nition in township ordinance number 35 (zoning). The confusion arose recently in the case of composer and singer-songwriter Hans Stachowiak, whose building and conditional use permits for a recording studio at 1 Bald Eagle Island expired after Stachowiak failed to initiate them in a timely fashion, reportedly misunderstanding the township's defi nition of the term. The new defi nition — which forms section 3-34.A — reads: “‘Initiation of a permit’ means a permit application must be received, determined by the Town to be complete, and payment received to be considered initiated.” • Approved a conditional use permit and permitted use standards permit for Southwind Holdings LLC, which owns the Bald Eagle Quick Stop and attached strip mall at 5960 Highway 61. The permits will allow Southwind Holdings to perform a makeover of the property — which houses a convenience store, liquor store, scuba store, pizza shop and hair stylist — on three sides. • Received a letter and verbal request from residents Kara and Bob Hampton, who have just moved into a property at 2710 Short Street, regarding the possibility for a four-way stop sign at Portland Avenue, Short Street and Mallard Ponds Boulevard. “During the building process, I have witnessed speeding cars on Portland Avenue as well as speeding down Short Street as they turn from Portland, barely slowing down. It makes this residential area very dangerous," wrote Kara, adding that she had lived in other areas of White Bear Township since 2002. Board supervisors pledged to send the request to Ramsey County for consideration, since it involved a county state aid highway, and ask the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department to monitor speeds in the area. • Appointed Charles (Chuck) Archer, of Eagle Street, as chair of the park board, and Scott Lombardi, of Franklin Avenue, as vice chair of the park board. • Deferred until the June 20 meeting a decision on the signing of a new joint powers agreement with Ramsey County to provide election services for the period 2017-2020, pending the receipt of comments from the county on several amendments made to the contract by the township. • Agreed to reschedule the regular fi rst township meeting of July from July 4 to the following Monday, July 11, due to the holiday.

White Bear Area YMCA catering to growing senior population BY LOUISE ERNEWEIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — It's not just the younger generation that's well represented in the township and surrounding area. At the June 6 Town Board meeting, Shane Hoefer, executive director of the White Bear Area YMCA, reported back on the past five years of an agreement between the Y and White Bear Township, which saw a township investment in the facility in return for benefits for hundreds of township residents. Hoefer highlighted that the largest growing demographic at the Y was the 55-plus population, which had, in turn, prompted changes in the center's programming and amenities. "We continue to add classes, and I don’t see this trend coming to a stop," said

Hoefer, after the meeting. "In the last few years, pickleball has exploded nationally, and here at our Y as well. As older adults have expressed a stronger interest in art, we’ve asked local artists like Sandy Danus to teach for our members. And we’ve found innovative ways to pair seniors and teens." He added that the YMCA continued to evaluate its facilities to best accommodate the growing number of seniors seeking its services. "We have made significant changes to our Y to accommodate those with decreased mobility; we have more automatic door openers and in more areas of the building than is required by code, for example," said Hoefer. "We have installed furniture that allows people to take a break if walking our sometimes long hallways becomes overwhelming."

Twin sisters’ playground plea is heard

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — It's not often that the park board is addressed by children — so board members sat up and listened when Irene and Julia Bakke made a special plea about Eagle Park playground. The 8-year-old twin sisters wanted to make their voices heard when they learned that their neighborhood playground was due for a makeover. At the White Bear Township meeting on June 6, township board supervisors paid attention to their comments and selected the girls' favored option from four shortlisted possibilities. "I was really excited [when I heard] because now I know I will have a good playground to go to in my free time," said Julia when she heard of the township's decision. The playground, tennis courts and picnic shelter at Eagle Park — located at 5485 Township Drive — have been a second home to Irene and Julia all their lives; the girls live just across the road on Stuart Avenue. They enjoy playing tennis at the courts with grandparents but, over the year, have slowly outgrown much of the playground equipment. They were thrilled to hear that, under White Bear Township's ongoing program of parks and playgrounds updates, Eagle Park was up next for renovation in 2016, but wondered what might replace the existing amenities and were hopeful that the equipment should be suitable for older children as well as younger guests. That's when their father, Eric Bakke, a teacher at Harambee Elementary School in Roseville, suggested they get involved. “He said, ‘Well, they will listen to grown-ups, but if it’s an actual kid who lives in the neighborhood, there would be more of a chance of them listening to you,’” said Julia. She and Irene wrote a list of the

items they would most like to see in the renovated park and then attended a neighborhood meeting in January to express their opinions in person. "I was pretty nervous, but Dad went first and then Irene and I showed them our ideas," recalled Julia. "Then they showed us the four park [options] that were available," added Irene. "Number three was my favorite, because of the monkey bars and the ladders and more climbing bars." Dad Eric says he's proud of his girls, although he expects nothing less of them. "We try to teach them to speak up and it's important to them to stand up and be heard, and that's what they did with the playground," he said. "They were also aware that they might not get what they wanted!" But the two girls, who will start at Otter Lake Elementary School in the fall, are delighted to know that they played a role in selecting the final design, first sorting through catalogs to provide feedback to the township about their recommendations, before rating the final four options for preference. The new playground equipment, totaling $66,000, includes a swing set (including a handicapped-accessible swing), Comet II spinning device, Orbitron, two-set rocker and multiuse structure (including platforms, four rope climbers, three other climbers and two slides) and two pieces of adult exercise equipment (arm and leg press). And even if the wheels of local government turn a little slower than two 8-year-old sisters would like, they are excited to try out their new playground when it's installed by the selected vendor, St. Croix Recreation, later this year. "I think it was pretty funny that we were the only kids [at the meeting] and pretty much the only people there," said Julia. "I'm excited about the new playground and how big it's going to be and I will be so excited when it comes."

near perfect to do what he wanted to do, Sally noted. To that, Gerry added: “I’ve had failures too. I try to learn from them.” There was the 1974 attempt, for example, to circle the globe in a self-designed trimaran; he aborted the trip after only 53 hours at sea. If there is a philosophical bent to his life’s choices, it lies in his conviction that the glass is half full, that every decision you make is based on a personal philosophy. “As Voltaire said, ‘Let us cultivate our garden,’” Spiess said, meaning it is our duty, despite failures, to tend to our own garden in a productive way. Voltaire’s words in “Candide or Optimism” could very well be a metaphor for Spiess’ life — finding the beauty and the good in everything around you, remaining optimistic through difficult times. Even today, as he lives with the challenge of Parkinson’s, Spiess does not complain. Rather, he follows a familiar

mantra: through failures you make adjustments and learn new skills. In his workshop where he spends much of his day, Spiess is a stickler about organization. “I want things straight,” he said. “I can’t build anything anymore, but by God, if I ever get the strength, I want it straight.” The storytelling wears on Spiess. His mouth gets dry and he needs to take constant sips of water. Certain topics make him emotional, something Sally attributes to the Parkinson’s. When it starts to become too much of an effort, she steps in and says it’s time to stop. Gerry is tired and his eyes start to droop. Another malady of the disease. “I have my ups and downs,” he says apologetically. No need. It’s time to leave. That’s when the realization hits that capturing this man’s inspiring life on the pages of a newspaper will be a challenge, too.

Braden Letourneau, an eighth-grader at Sunrise Park Middle School, constructed a Little Free Library outside the front of the school for his eighth-grade International Baccalaureate community service project. Some of his classmates asked for donations of gently used books as their project. Letourneau painted the library purple in honor and memory of his great aunt, and all those who battle cancer. The school library will place books in the Little Free Library as they weed out books still in good shape from the library. The community is invited to take a book or leave a book.

HEALTH TRENDS What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands”

and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” ﬂows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force

energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Some of Reiki’s Health Beneﬁts:

• Creates deep relaxation and aids the body to release stress and tension • It accelerates the body’s self-healing abilities • Aids better sleep • Reduces blood

Water conservation collaboration receives award

SUBMITTED

Representatives from the White Bear Lake Area Schools and H2O for Life accepted an award for Race 2 Reduce partners at the Environmental Initiative Awards May 26. From left, Michael Lovett, superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools, Sarah Alexander, H20 for Life project coordinator of Race 2 Reduce, Elizabeth Werner, teacher at Willow Lane Elementary, Chelsea Feider, teacher at Matoska International Elementary, and Patty Hall, president and founder of H2O for Life.

WHITE BEAR LAKE – Local nonprofit H20 for Life, along with their partners, were selected as a winner for the Race 2 Reduce project at the Environmental Initiative Awards May 26. This program, hosted by the nonprofit Environmental Initiative, annually honors projects that have achieved extraordinary outcomes by harnessing the power of partnership. For the past 12 years, the water level in White Bear Lake has been declining. While several causes have been identified, the pace of residential development inspired a diverse collaboration of community members to address the challenge. H20 for Life, White Bear Lake Area Schools, and Mahtomedi Public Schools joined forces in a unique effort that educates students and the community about the critical need to conserve water now and for future generations. “By collaborating with public school districts, the cities, and other local organizations we are bringing real world issues into the classroom,” said Sarah Alexander of H20 for Life. “Students are empowered to change community water use behaviors and help inspire conservation.” Over the past year, Race 2 Reduce engaged more than 2,100 students to learn

about where their water comes from and how they can take action to conserve water resources. Program partners have worked to involve all stakeholders in the White Bear Lake area that are impacted by the diminished lake level and who share a deep concern about wanting to preserve the health and viability of the lake. “Collaboration isn’t always easy. Race 2 Reduce is a wonderful example of what can be accomplished when people work together to achieve a common goal,” said Environmental Initiative’s Executive Director, Mike Harley. “The ongoing learning and behavior change that will happen as a result of this project is truly inspiring.” Environmental Initiative is a nonprofit organization that builds partnerships with business, government and nonprofit leaders to develop collaborative solutions to Minnesota’s environmental problems. The organization has honored collaborative environmental projects through their annual awards program since 1994. For more information visit www.environmental-initiative.org.

do when attempting a pitch shot. The set up is neutral (weight equal on both feet, left shoulder higher than right, ball position middle of stance). The stroke is made with arms only on the way back with a wrist hinge, then a weight transfer on the forward swing with an abbreviated finish. In other words, short back swing and short follow through with a big arm swing. The problem with this concept is the average player tries to move the arms faster and pull on the grip end of the club on the downswing to generate clubhead speed. If you do this, you’ll probably end up at impact with an open clubface which causes you to hit shots high and short. In other words, too much arm swing and not enough body pivot.

long bunker shot, and blast from deep rough. There are more, but this list is pretty complete for a good amateur golfer. An average golfer needs to have and understanding and be able to hit the two basic shots. A chip shot is made by reducing the loft of the club through impact and hitting the ball first, then the ground with the leading edge of the club. In a pitch shot you’re playing the shaft in a more neutral position and hitting the ground with the bounce on the bottom of the club before you hit the ball. It has nothing to do with distance. The majority of golfers think the chip is a low running shot that is hit with a 7 or 8 iron and a pitch is a high lofted shot that is hit with a sand or a pitching wedge (with completely different set ups for both shots). Wouldn’t it be far easier if you could use the same club to hit both? I use a 56 degree (12 bounce) and a 52 degree (8 bounce) for all of my greenside shots. Here’s what I see the average golfer doing when they try to hit a basic chip shot. The weight is on left side, open stance, spine tilts back towards the ball, ball position is off the back foot (right foot for right handed), hands forward. The stroke is made with the shoulders, keeping the hands forward. Very little wrist and the clubhead stays close to the ground. Here’s the problem that most golfers have with this shot. The club goes straight back and outside the target line and the only way to hit it is to tilt your shoulders back, away from the ball and scoop it with your hands. The miss is going to be hitting it thin or fat. Next, this is what I see most golfers

Betsy A sand and a pitching Larey wedge, all of which were part of their iron set. The problem is you have no idea what the loft and the bounce are on the sand wedge. If you don’t have enough bounce on your sand wedge, you are going to have a difficult time hitting out of the bunkers and deep rough. And a lot of manufacturers are making pitching wedges with 44 degrees of loft. That’s a 9 iron, don’t let them fool you. I think the average golfer should carry 3 wedges; a pitching wedge, (46 degrees), a gap wedge (50) and a sand wedge (56). ). I don’t think it’s necessary for amateurs to carry a 60 degree lob for two reasons. First, you have to hit it perfectly to get a good shot -- it’s the easiest club in your bag to shank. Don’t tempt fate. Second, if you learn to hit a good pitch you can turn your 56 or 58 into a 60 by moving the shaft back in your stance at address. Suffice it to say, you need these wedges if you really want to move your game to the next level. There are two basic shots you need around the greens, pitch and a chip. The best players will have variations on these two shots; a low, medium and high pitch, a bump and run (long chip) a short bunker shot, a

Bears run, jump and throw at state track meet BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake girls earned fifth-place medals in two relays at the state track meet Saturday, and scored in five events in the two-day meet. The Bears’ all-freshmen 4x200 team of Madeline Wallace, Victoria Adebisi, Jordan Gast and Claire Odmark ran a 1:42.69, and the 4x400 quartet of Gast, sophomore Madaline Williams, freshman Bailey McCullough and Odmark finished in 3:57.16. Both lowered their school records. “We had a lot of fun. I think we did pretty well,” said Odmark as the girls waited for their medal-stand appearance after the 4x400. They were especially pleased to beat their previous best times. Bear senior Makala Keefe placed fifth in the discus with 134-11 and ninth in shot put with 39-0 1/4. Last year, Keefe placed seventh in discus with 1274 and ninth in shot with 40-2 1/2. Bear senior Jenna Ellertson pole-vaulted 10-9 for seventh place. The Bear girls collected 23 points for 14th place. White Bear Lake boys reached finals and placed ninth in the 4x800 with Dylan Gast, Fernando Benitez, Ben Roen and Josh Truen clocked in 8:00.39. WBL junior Miriam Probst was the lone wheelchair contestant in the 100 dash and won with 31.92, three seconds under her previous best. She finished behind Andover’s Stacy Bates in the 200.

Sager has coached 37 years but just the last 14 with the Bears. When the other NHL player from White Bear Lake, Ryan Carter of the Wild, played for the Bears, his coach was Bill Butters.

Zephyr ball players head to state BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The unbeaten arm of Jack Schweitz and stellar defense led by Trevor Moses capped Mahtomedi’s run to the state tournament with a 5-0 conquest of Fridley on June 9. The Zephyrs, top ranked in Class 3A, went 4-0 in the double-elimination Section 4AAA tournament at CHS Field in St. Paul. They will take a 19-5 record into state against New Ulm on Thursday, 10 a.m., at Siebert Field. “The kids kept developing and got all the way to the state tournament,” reflected coach John Hardgrove, who’s taking his third straight team to state. “Our crowning moment was how well we played defense in the finals.”

In the finals, Schwietz twirled a four-hit shutout with four strikeouts, picking up his seventh win against no losses. Mitch Nordin was 3-for-3 with two RBIs. Anchoring the defensive effort was Moses at shortstop throwing out nine batters. The Zephyrs beat Blake 11-1 with Grant Taival pitching; St. Paul Central 5-4 with Nordin delivering a two-run single in the last of the seventh and Schweitz pitching; Fridley 4-3 with Nordin getting the win and Taival the save; and Fridley again 5-0. Moses, who’s batting .481 with three homers and 19 RBIs, will play in the state all-star series, Hardgrove said. Gavin Pratumwon and Graham Devore are each hitting .333. This is the first year of a four-class tournament. Mahtomedi was in 3A, the biggest class, previously, and is still in 3A which is now the second-biggest class.

A World War II veteran who celebrated his 92nd birthday last March with students at Otter Lake Elementary, died June 6. Robert “Bob” Clemens flew 50 missions aboard a B-17 bomber, led Bible studies for prison inmates, served as president of the White Bear Lake Lions Club and commanded the American Legion. He enlisted in the Army Air Force after graduating from White Bear High School in 1942. Of the 45 young men in Clemens’ class, most enlisted and three didn’t make it home. A love of math inspired his choice to become a navigator, noted a White Bear Press story about Clemens’ life in 2013. He became a member of the Fifteenth Air Force, 463rd Bomb Group. The job was dangerous on the European Front. Based in Foggia, Italy, Clemens said nearly every mission included a near-miss or a few where he might have met his Maker. One memorable moment on a bombing mission over Romania was when ground ammunition came in through the plane’s astrodome and hit Clemens’ helmet. The flak knocked him off his feet and left a large dent in his helmet, but he was uninjured. When he returned to White Bear Lake, Clemens went to work for his father, who owned Clemens Heating, Metal Sheeting and Air Conditioning. His father died unexpectedly in 1949 and Bob took over the business. He was president of the White Bear Lake Businessmen’s Association, now the Chamber of Commerce, in 1951. In 1957, he started a financial consulting and insurance company. Not one to retire, Clemens sold the business to a partner in his late 80s and continued to work for the company another couple of years. Always willing to volunteer his time, Clemens frequently gave presentations about his war experiences to school classes, veterans groups and civic organizations.

On March 10, Clemens was presented with 92 handmade cards from second grade students at Otter Lake School and a handmade quilt in honor of his birthday. Clemens also helped lead Bible studies two or three times a month for inmates at Oak Park Heights Correctional Facility. He told the Press reporter in the earlier story that he had visited prisons to teach for more than 30 years after one of his own spiritual advisors challenged him to be less judgmental of people who have committed a crime. In a book by Peter Reis titled “The Homefront: A Small Town During World War II,” five young men are featured from White Bear Lake who enlisted or were drafted. One was Bob Clemens. Reis considered Clemens a hero and a leader even in high school. His yearbook description read: “Bob’s capability and leadership have won for him many officers’ jobs. Active in football, basketball, Bear Tracks, FFA and Courtesy Group, he was in declamatory work for three years, president of the drama club and a member of the National Honor Society.” Clemens is survived by his wife Mary Nell, children, Bruce (Jean) and Carla Birchem (Gary); four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by a daughter, Carol. A celebration of Bob’s life was June 10 at First Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake. Private interment was held at Fort Snelling National Cemetery.

Financial Management 6 Ways to Prepare for an Economic Downturn What your business can do in the good times to be ready for the bad There’s never a shortage of predictions about the economy, but one thing is known for sure: it goes in cycles. While the last recession may have hit small businesses, the next one needn’t—as long as a business owner plans ahead. “Maintain a sufficient level of cash reserves. That means you need to save enough to run the business for 12 to 18 months. It may sound like a lot, but I think it’s realistic, and the best-run companies have the discipline to do it. This level of reserves allows a company to handle any recession-related hiccups, such as difficulty in getting a loan, or customers falling behind on payments. Low reserves affect employee morale and everything else about running a business. Cut the flab in the operating budget. It’s key to control your overhead and other expenses during the good times, because that becomes difficult to do when a recession hits. A common mistake owners make is to take an expensive lease and decorate their premises with all kinds of fancy stuff. That’s not going to make them money. They’d be better off investing in, for example, marketing. Build a payment and credit record. Cultivate a good relationship with lenders. Set up lines of credit and loans while low-cost money is available to grow the business, and build a solid payment track record. Monitor business trends. First, keep a hawk’s eye on your own sales. One bad month may be acceptable, but if you see that you have three or four consecutively, you need to start figuring out what’s going on. For the larger economy, there are numerous sources of readily available information on trends that can have an impact on your business. A slowdown in housing sales, for example, may affect a manufacturing business; if large companies are starting to lay off workers, that may affect a consumer business. Take the long view. In the United States, because of checks and balances on the economy, we see that good cycles last longer than bad cycles. In good times, a well-managed business can add more wealth and improve as a business. In a downturn, the business can not only survive, it can grow. That’s because it will be able to take advantage of reductions in all kinds of costs, such as acquisitions, leases, wages, and the cost of acquiring new customers.

Clearer lake means more (native) weeds

There's a dense new weed growing in Bald Eagle Lake. The good news: it's native. The bad news: it makes boating difficult. The plant, buttercup, was discovered during a routine survey by Blue Water Science aquatics expert Steve McComas. McComas, often referred to as the "lake doctor," said he has never seen so much buttercup and another native plant, white stem pondweed, growing in Bald Eagle in the 20 years he's been surveying the lake. He attributes the growth to the very clear water in Bald Eagle following the second alum treatment this spring. Bald Eagle Area Association President Gary Krejcarek and Secretary Tom Weyandt accompanied McComas as he surveyed the aquatic vegetation in Bald Eagle. The association has been working to control invasive plants in the lake since 1984; the Rice Creek Watershed District took over those duties in 2010. During the 3.5-hour survey, McComas and his assistant, Jo

Stuckert, stopped at 35 different spots and took samples using a rake. "The results were impressive," Weyandt said. "In less than 15 minutes they had already found at least 12 different native plants and we hadn’t covered a tenth of the lake." The June 8 survey was to determine the effectiveness of herbicide application on curlyleaf pondweed (CLP) and to do a preliminary survey of milfoil in the lake, Weyandt said. "Mr. McComas has been surveying the aquatic plants on Bald Eagle since the mid-‘90s. The extensive experience and data that he has developed has resulted in detailed maps showing the areas of concern for curlyleaf and eurasian water milfoil (EWM)," noted the association secretary. "A survey shortly after ice out this year was used to determine where the control of CLP would take place and that was done about three to four weeks ago. Those areas were primarily along the south and

with other species, form thick growth that makes boating and swimming difficult, Weyandt said. "RCWD staff and McComas predicted this situation as the water cleared following the alum treatment. Things are expected to level off within two or three years as the lake finds a balance in aquatic plants." Debra Neutkens

The law allows the owner of each parcel of lakeshore to use mechanical means to remove that amount of vegetation without a permit. The explosive growth of vegetation has caused concern by lake users.

southwest sides of the lake. The control efforts ranged from very good to good. There were areas of CLP that hadn’t been treated this year, but had grown to troublesome size. There seemed to be CLP in small patches of less than an acre in many areas, but those areas cannot be effectively treated." There are three kinds of milfoil in Bald Eagle Lake. Native northern milfoil, EWM and a hybrid of the two. The areas the milfoil was found were a few acres in size and mostly within 150 feet of shore. As far as treatment, Weyandt said it was his understanding that for heavy EWM growth found greater than 150 feet from shore, an open water permit from the DNR would be required.

(PG-13) (3) [VIOLENCE AND SOME LANGUAGE.]

— Clever magic and sleight of hand highlight this entertaining, humorous, well-paced, star-studded (Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Sanaa Lathan, David Warshofsky, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Richard Laing and Jay Chou), 129-minute sequel in which the talented, wildly popular, illusive Four Horsemen (Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Jesse Eisenberg and Lizzy Caplan) and a rogue, bitter FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) find themselves on the run from Interpol and the FBI after hijacking a show in Las Vegas and end up planning a heist of a highly prized computer program for a spoiled, rich brat (Daniel Radcliffe) in Macau.

WEATHER TIDBIT Sixty degree dew points made their way back into Metro this past week along with temperatures near the 90° mark. It made for a couple of tropical days which also aided in generating some good thunderstorms. A couple of the storms occurred Sunday morning and again later in the day, Sunday evening. For the week I totaled 3.5” of rain including 2.5” late Sunday into Monday morning. WOW!. Astro Note: June 18, Saturn rises with the moon, located below moon. June 20: Summer Solstice, 5:35pm. YEAR AGO THIS WEEK Seasonable temperatures with 1.02” of rain on June 17 and .47” on June 20.

“TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS” (PG-13) (2.5) [SCI-FI ACTION VIOLENCE.]

— A witty, action-packed, family-friendly, star-dotted (Will Arnett, Tyler Perry, Laura Linney, Tony Shalhoub, Dean Winters and Alessandra Ambrosio), 3-D, 112-minute sequel in which four butt-kicking, heroic ninja turtles (Jeremy Howard, Noel Fisher, Alan Ritchson and Pete Ploszek) team up with a sexy New York City journalist (Megan Fox) and a hockey-stick-wielding, wannabe-detective cop (Stephen Amell) to stop the evil Shredder (Brian Tee) after he escaped from the clink, his two mutant henchmen (Stephen Farrelly and Gary Anthony Williams), and a power-hungry alien (voiceover by Brad Garrett) encased in a gargantuan robot from taking over Earth.
