It appears the White Bear Lake Area School Board is on board with proposed plans for a one-campus high school, new elementary school in Hugo and other building updates in the district. The White Bear Lake Area School Board reviewed proposed facilities plans, including new and expanded school buildings, at its June 10 meeting. The plans were put forth by a 90-member committee that met this winter and were previously discussed at a board workshop in April. The board unanimously authorized district administration to come back with detailed plans for a bond referendum at a workshop meeting 5:30 p.m. June 27. The board had little to discuss except to thank the committee members for their hard work. “Thank you to the committee members for their work, planning and organization,” said Clerk Ellen Fahey. “It makes our job easier in terms of knowing there have been community members
already involved in the process, and so many of them.” The board has not yet officially approved the plans or the bond referendum; its vote June 10 was simply an acknowledgement the board wants to continue to move ahead with the process, explained Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak and Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations Tim Wald. The board is expected to vote on the bond referendum at its July 15 regular meeting. Then it would be put on the November ballot. The facility planning committee of 90 staff, parents and community members came to a consensus on the plans this spring after discussing five options for high school and elementary configuration to meet growing enrollment needs. The facilities planning was prompted by the district's recent strategic planning. Enrollment is expected to increase to about 10,800 in less than 10 years, according to district documents. It is about 8,600 this year. Current capacity is 8,700. SEE SCHOOLS, PAGE 8A
Judge issues decision in neighborhood path case BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — After almost a year awaiting the court's decision on the neighborhood path dispute in Echo Lake, the city learned last week that District Court Judge Douglas Meslow ruled in the city's favor. The judgement won't be signed, however, until a review of objections filed by the opposing attorney.
The neighborhood dispute that led to legal action started in 2017 when residents in the Wildridge Pines and Echo Lake neighborhoods who walked their dogs, learned how to ride a bike or walked to a friend's house on the path discovered that their safe link between the two neighborhoods had been torn up. The property owner at 970 Wildridge Court, who maintained that the trail was on her property and
Over 44 Years Experience
didn't want the public on her land, had brought construction equipment in to tear up the trail. Neighbors packed the Oct. 3, 2017 City Council meeting to voice concerns about the destruction of the path that sheltered them from using the shoulder of busy Lincolntown Avenue when traveling between neighborhoods. Residents in both the Echo Lake

Is it really change?
O
VER TIME SIGNIFICANT names in retailing have become history. Growing up in White Bear Lake, we often made trips to Montgomery Wards in the Midway, which was also known as a very strong catalog store, as was Sears in Minneapolis. Ben Franklin stores were popular and we had one in downtown White Bear Lake owned by the Brass family. Schuneman’s in St. Paul was pressured out of business by the expanding Dayton Hudson people. St. Paul also had the Emporium, Golden Rule, Grants and Kresge’s. They are history. Dayton’s is gone and so are Rothschild’s, Donaldson’s and FieldSchlick. Shopko is one of the latest to announce its closings. A former manager of Shopko, Wisconsin based, suggested that if they had eliminated some of the western stores that were not performing, they would be alive and well today. Markets have changed and so has About the retailing with a return to mail order Town or shopping online. What goes around around. Gene Johnson comes The grocery business is another challenging area. It will just take time to see how this all sorts out in our market with new stores making their introductions, like Lunds & Byerlys and now with Hy-Vee ready to break ground in what is known as Hoffman Corners at County Road E and Highway 61. Large drug stores have taken their toll on the independently owned drug stores in the area. They have also found ways to affect drug pricing, which makes this market extremely competitive. The impact on the malls is evident with the empty spaces showing up in places like Maplewood Mall. The challenge is for small business to find a unique niche, provide exemplary service and have a good marketing plan that communicates clearly what they offer and why they deserve your business. In the meantime, we will see growth in fast food, grocery and restaurant food delivery services and other kinds of services that will keep electronic gadgets functioning in your home. Gasoline fueling stations continue to grow and today those stations are like general stores of the past. Some of the large box stores are also trying out smaller neighborhood stores for convenience. In the meantime, we can continue to talk to lamps and tell them we want our lights on or off and to let us know if we have left the garage door open. If you don’t have various colored lights in your pantry with a glass door, you need an upgrade. WITH SUMMER OFFICIALLY around the corner and the love of water in Minnesota, it’s a good time to review safety practices with family and friends. Life jackets are important for children, as well as adults and animals. Even conservation officers have been recently reminded. Some people effectively use checklists when they are heading out for fishing or vacationing. Whether it’s locally or a distance away, lists can be helpful. Rules and regulations on the water are important to review as well. From the St. Croix River boating experiences as well as lakes and salt water boating, we have seen so many boaters who do not respect or follow the rules of the water. “Respect” is a key word. On the water or the road, be respectful of others, as well as what’s private. Consider carefully where you anchor and the noise level that is projected from your watercraft. Water sports are great and enjoyable, but respect fishermen, beaches and know where there are sandbars and other points of danger. With all this in mind, enjoy Minnesota’s summer on the water. FROM HEARTH, PATIO and Barbecue Association, Americans grill the most on the Fourth of July at a 73% rate. Memorial Day gets 60%, Father’s Day 45%, Mother’s Day 34% and Thanksgiving 14%. So it’s time to get the grill ready and try some new recipes. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications

Time to save ourselves from ourselves
hen my husband and I and our baby moved to the northern suburbs nearly nine years ago, we were struck by how loud the birds were in the morning. In fact, it was to the point of being borderline annoying to me. I remember grumpily stumbling over to the window to shut it as the birds too cheerfully sang me out of my slumber. Even though I knew deep down that the biodiversity that flourished in the surrounding wetlands was a blessing, momentary crabby thoughts like, “if it’s not the baby, it’s the birds stealing my precious sleep,” would enter my mind. We would often remark how astonishing it was that mornings in the north metro sounded like the eco-resort we visited in Costa Rica. Admittedly, I am no ornithologist and haven’t conducted decade-long biotic index studies to track the bird populations in my area, but I do notice that the springs seem quieter. I am no longer roused by songbirds. I wonder if what I’m reading in the news is what I’m witnessing in my own yard. Last year, 15,364 scientists from 184 countries signed “A Second Notice,” which is an open letter to humanity pleading for humans to cut greenhouse gases and reverse the trend of collapsing biodiversity. They were seeking to raise awareness that a mass species extinction is currently
happening. This is the sixth mass extinction in the last 540 million years. What’s causing the loss of biodiversity isn’t a big mystery. People are causing the loss of biodiversity through consumption of goods We All Need created from natural resources and altering Food & natural habitat for food Water production. According to a May 2018 study Dawn Pape by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 60% of the world’s mammals are livestock, 36% are humans and only 4% are wildlife. That means 96% of the world’s mammals are either people or food for people. This is a difficult topic to approach because, of course, I am a person who consumes goods and resources. I also like to eat. Every day. Preferably several times a day. I am clearly as much at fault as every other person. I cannot pretend to be outside of this problem looking in. People talk about “saving the Earth,” but let’s be real. The Earth has made it through the last five mass extinctions just fine. It’s not about saving the Earth, it’s about saving ourselves from ourselves.
“The planet is at the start of a sixth mass extinction in its history, with huge losses already reported in larger animals that are easier to study. But insects are by far the most varied and abundant animals, outweighing humanity by 17 times. They are “essential” for the proper functioning of all ecosystems, the researchers say, as food for other creatures, pollinators and recyclers of nutrients.” Damian Carrington The Guardian Environment editor, Feb, 10, 2019
We are currently sawing off the branch we are sitting on. We need to overcome denial, fear, busyness and doing nothing because we are unsure if it will be enough. Carl Sagan once said, “Today we are facing many challenges. But the craziest thing we can do is to do nothing.” We got ourselves in this mess, now it’s time to get “all hands on deck” to get us out of it. We need to focus on what unites us and creates community so we can work together. The fact that we all need food is a good start. And since feeding ourselves is causing devastating biodiversity and climate impacts, that makes it another reason for starting with our food systems. I found the book “Drawdown” and its companion website drawdown.org to be helpful resources. While these resources focus on using existing solutions to draw down greenhouse gases to manageable levels within the next 30 years, the solutions offered would also benefit
biodiversity. Perhaps the most energizing aspect of this research is that nothing new needs to invented, the solutions just need to be implemented. In fact, 17 of the 100 solutions were food based. Just composting, having plant-rich diets and reducing waste have enormous global implications—and those are things most of us can start doing today. As Wendell Berry said, “Eating is inescapably an agricultural act, and how we eat determines, to a considerable extent, how the world is used.” Dawn Pape is the founder of a nonprofit called “We All Need Food and Water” focused on educating about issues challenging our food and water systems and encouraging people to take action with their forks. Pape is also a proud Ramsey County Master Gardener volunteer who loves attempting to grow her own food.

Teen rescues boy from near drowning BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
MAHTOMEDI — Through the quick-thinking of a couple of teenage girls, a young boy was rescued from a near drowning at Mahtomedi Beach June 8. Emily Emerson, 14, said she and a friend were playing with some young children they had just met at the beach that evening when a young boy, age 6 or 7, jumped off the dock. “He was showing off a little bit,” Emily said. The boy began to bob up and down in the water and Emily and her friend became concerned. The other younger children who knew him said
he was fine, that he acted like this in the water all the time. But the older girls knew better. “We realized that when he was splashing, he was reaching for the ledge and couldn't quite reach it,” Emily said. She had water rescue training as part of her Red Cross babysitting course. She jumped in the water and pulled him to shore. “He was just shaking and crying,” she said. “He was in so much shock that he wasn't saying anything.” Emily brought him to the middle-aged babysitter he came with but Emily said she expressed little concern over the near-drowning. The babysitter left without calling for medical assistance. The children had said they were from
across the Twin Cities, so she didn't know who they were. “It just kind of scares me that his mom may never know about this,” Emily noted. She learned a lesson at the beach that day she hopes everyone can take to heart: “Watch out for other kids even if they are not your own,” she said. The water in White Bear Lake is much higher than usual, added Emily's mother Becky. Even though she is 5 feet, 10 inches tall, Emily could not touch the bottom where she rescued the young boy from drowning. Becky warns all parents that their children may not realize how high the water is this year.
“For these kids, in their memory, it has never been this high,” Becky noted. “They think they can go out to where they were last year.” The beach was also quite crowded that night, Becky said. It's surprising this could occur in the midst of so many people, but when water gets into someone's lungs, they often can't make noise. There is no lifeguard at Mahtomedi Beach until June 16. Becky said she has always told her children they cannot go past their shoulders if there is no lifeguard at the beach, even though they are strong swimmers.

SCHOOLS: Board expected to make ballot decision in July FROM PAGE 1A
Committee members also discussed that the current building models put children through more transitions than typical across the United States, Wald noted. Hugo students, for example, transition between two elementary school buildings and two high school buildings throughout their schooling. The plans for the next 10 years include a one-campus high school at North Campus, Sunrise Park Middle School moving to South Campus, and a new K-5 elementary school in Hugo. Oneka would become a K-5 school and Hugo would become an early childhood
center. Sunrise would become an early childhood center, transition center, senior center and district offices. The vacated district offices would be an expansion for Central Middle School. Safety and security improvements, as well as flexible furniture, are also part of the plans. The draft plans estimate the amount of the bond referendum needed for phase one to be about $326 million. The tax impact for a bond referendum between $300-350 million would be about $180 to $300 more per year for a home valued at $300,000, according to committee documents.
UPDATES AND CHANGES IN WHITE BEAR LAKE AREA SCHOOLS: • A new K-5 elementary school in Hugo • Convert Oneka Elementary from grades 2-5 to a K-5 elementary and Hugo Elementary from grades K-1 to a northern early childhood location • Expand North Campus to become the district’s grade 9-12 high school • Move Sunrise Park Middle School to South Campus • Convert Sunrise Park Middle School for various community programs, including the Senior Center and early childhood programs currently housed at Normandy Park, the Transition Education Center currently located in leased space in Hugo, and the District Center offices • Expand Central Middle School into District Center offices Source: White Bear Lake Area Schools
LAWSUIT: Documents proving trail part of developer’s agreement helped case FROM PAGE 1A
and Wildridge Pines neighborhoods asserted that because the city had been maintaining the path year round, including plowing snow during the winter, that the path was a city pedestrian access easement. Brown signs on the trail that the city installed also suggested public ownership. After long legal discussions, the property owner at 970 Wildridge Court, Katherine Verzhbitska-Radzills, and the City of Mahtomedi sued each other over ownership. The city filed its lawsuit to seek a declaration as to its rights regarding the pedestrian access easement that was created in 1992. At that time, as part of the requirements contained in the Development Agreement, an eight-foot bituminous walkway was installed by the developer within a 20-foot pedestrian access easement in order to connect Wildrige Pines 2nd Addition to a future residential development to the south, which later became known as the Echo Lake Addition. The difficulty for the city at first was finding the documents to prove its assertion. The development contract was always there, City Attorney Jay Karlovich said, but city officials could not lay their hands on

the paper trail for the recorded easement documents. Eventually, city staff was able to find the developer's agreement that called for a city trail at that location.
Additionally, the developer himself testified in court. Karlovich said he thought the city prevailed because the trail had been in place since 1992. “If the city was using the trail for more than 15 years, it can claim the trail,” he said. Attorneys for Verzhbitska-Radzills have two weeks to file a legal memorandum objecting to the decision. After the judge reviews a possible order for objection, he will sign the decision. If Judge Meslow does sign the decision in its favor, the city will approve a change order and repave the path immediately. Contractors and their equipment are already on the site working on the Echo Lake Street Improvement Project, Karlovich noted. Although the opposing party has 60 days to file an appeal against the judge's signed decision, the city would not wait for the results of an appeal to pave. That would mean having to start all over the process of soliciting bids, entering into a new contract and bringing back equipment at a later date – all at greater expense, Karlovich said. Roadwork in the Echo Lake development is expected to wrap up in July.

School expansion: Neighbors feel pushed out BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
Bald Eagle Avenue neighbors next to White Bear Lake Area High School – North Campus are upset that the district wants to buy their homes for school land. The school board is expected to vote on a bond referendum this summer that would create a one-campus high school at North Campus. In the draft financial plan document for the bond referendum, about $6 million is included to potentially purchase about 21 houses. Residents abutting school district property on the east side of Bald Eagle Avenue were notified in May that the district would be interested in purchasing their house for school property, said resident Stacey King. King said residents on her street do not want to sell their houses. She said she was upset she was not contacted until the plan had already been presented by the committee to the school board. “It's going to impact the whole community negatively,” she said. “It's all about the Hugo kids (having a shorter commute). They are hijacking our whole family.” King had two children graduate from White Bear Lake Area Schools and her family has donated thousands of dollars to the district.
“Certainly the homeowners get to decide if they want to sell their home or not.” Tim Wald Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations
Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations Tim Wald said the district's plan regarding the homes is to purchase those that become available. “So if a person is interested in selling it, then we would be an interested buyer,” he explained. “The school board has expressed an interest in avoiding use of eminent domain.” If approved by the board and the bond passes by voters, the one-campus high school would be implemented in 2023, Wald said. It would accommodate 3,200 students. Central Middle School would accommodate 1,350 students when expanded. Multi-phase traffic studies will be done. The district is looking at moving the bus garage near North Campus to a new location to reduce traffic in the area. The area where the homes are located is not needed for the building expansion but the school would benefit from having the site expanded over time, Wald noted. The space could be used for parking lots or athletic fields. Twenty-one houses is a rough estimate; it could be more or less, he added. The district has also expressed interest in homes on the west side of Division Avenue that abut North Cam-

pus. It is not looking to buy houses on the west side of Bald Eagle Avenue at this time. In the future, if a house that abuts up to Lincoln Elementary wanted to sell, the district may be interested in connecting the school to Price Field. A handful of homeowners have expressed interest in selling their homes to the district, Wald said. “Our intent is only to buy homes as they become available,” he added. “Certainly the homeowners get to decide if they want to sell their home or not.” King said she doesn't understand why purchase of the houses are included in the plans if everyone on her street doesn't want to sell. She said that although the district said it doesn't want to use eminent domain, it feels like her family is being forced out of their 1932 house. “I just put in a $160,000 kitchen. Are they just going to tear it down?” she said. “They say, 'No, not until you are ready.'” Kathy Greene, whose 91-year-old mother lives in one of the houses, said she and many of her neighbors will never want to sell their historic homes. They want to pass them on to future generations. The house Greene grew up in was built in 1896 and her family has lived in it since 1960. It was there before the current North
“I don’t understand how you can just push people out of their homes.” Kathy Greene Bald Eagle Avenue resident Campus, she noted, which used to be a fairgrounds. When the original buildings were built, the district didn't want to encroach on the houses because they were reportedly built on a toxic dump, she added. “I just don't understand why there aren't other ways (to solve the district's enrollment needs),” she said. “I don't understand how you can just push people out of their homes.” Greene said it is shocking that the White Bear Lake community, well known for being tight-knit, would want to take their homes. The facilities plans were developed by a 90-member committee of staff, parents and community members. “You could offer us each $6 million and it would not be enough,” she added. “We'd have to start a new life and not in White Bear Lake (due to current housing costs).”
White Bear school dress policy to change BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
White Bear Lake Area Schools will soon have a new dress policy but it was already in the works before the upset over a kindergartner wearing spaghetti straps at Hugo Elementary. The student was forced to change into a T-shirt this spring. The school board began discussing dress and appearance, policy 504, at a workshop in February, said Clerk Ellen Fahey. It was up for annual review and school board members had made a request to review it thoroughly for changes this year. The board discussed how the policy had language that seemed to be directed at girls. It discussed changes to make the policy more focused on items that would disrupt the educational process. What the board was working on was highlighted when a kindergartner at Hugo Elementary was forced to change after wearing a dress with spaghetti straps in April. Each school has its own guidelines based on the policy. The girl's mother, Emily Stewart, was shocked her five-year-old daughter was being sexualized. Her daughter reported being embarrassed about the incident when she was told she had to change because she needed privacy. “It's the perfect example of why we are already having this discussion,” Fahey said. She said the board received lots of letters about the policy in the ensuing weeks.
It held a first reading of the updated policy at its June 10 school board meeting. The school board annually reviews lots of policies and the typical process is to hold two readings to give the community time to give input before final approval is given. The board spends time discussing potential changes at workshop meetings before the readings. Sophomore Lidya Erickson came to the June 10 meeting to share her thoughts on why she wanted changes to the policy. She said that telling girls to cover up in certain ways can contribute to over-sexualization of females, which leads to a victim-blaming rape culture. She suggested a more gender neutral policy would prevent people from objectifying girls and stereotyping boys, by assuming boys cannot control themselves. Fahey let Erickson know that the “outdated student dress policy” had such proposed changes based on feedback and the board's own views. Board member Jessica Ellison commended Erickson for her bravery to speak to the board. The dress policy changed its definition of inappropriate clothing from “Clothing that is too revealing, distracting, or disruptive to the educational process, and other clothing that is not in keeping with community standards” to “Clothing that is disruptive to the educational process.” The board also changed the policy to allow all types of head coverings if they do not conceal a students' identity. Previously, head coverings were not allowed without special permission from the principal
for a medical or religious reason. A second reading will be held at the July meeting. In other action the school board: • Held first readings on five other updated policies: Policy 413, Harassment and Violence; Policy 506, Student Discipline; Policy 525, Violence Prevention; Policy 611, Homeschooling; Policy 802, Disposition of Obsolete Equipment. • Heard a report on Sauer Family Foundation grants that will provide trauma support programming at Willow Lane, Vadnais Heights, and Birch Lake Elementary Schools. The grants total about $300,000. The program will be new at Birch Lake and Vadnais Heights this fall. The program helps children with toxic stress share their worries and reduce behavior issues, reported Executive Director Colleen O’Keefe. Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) also received a $23,000 grant from the Sauer Foundation to implement a conscious discipline program. • Heard a report on the district's Excellence in Financial Reporting award from the Association of School Business Officials (ASBO), and the GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The district has received these awards 19 years in a row, reported Tim Wald, assistant superintendent for finance and operations. • Approved the preliminary 2019-2020
school year budget. General fund revenue is expected to be $117.7 million and expenditures $118.3 million. The ending fund balance is expected to be $15.8 million, or 10.5 percent of expenditures. The district is still expected to be out of compliance with its fund balance policy, which calls for 12.5 to 15 percent, Wald said. • Approved $327,000 in property and casualty insurance for 2019-2020 through the Minnesota Insurance Scholastic Trust. Due to natural disasters within the last couple years across the U.S., there was a 13 percent increase this year. School board member Scott Wilson mentioned that with insurance costs going up, the Legislature needs to increase the student state funding allocation per student by more than 2% next year. • Approved $597,000 in workers compensation insurance for 2019-2020 with Dakota Truck Underwriters. There will be a 4% increase due to increases in payroll. • Approved its share amount of $13,000 for long-term facilities maintenance of District 916 buildings. All member districts pay a portion of the $145,000. • Accepted nutrition services grants. The district received $4,500 for new milk coolers at Lakeaires Elementary, Matoska Elementary and North Campus from the Agricultural Growth, Research and Innovation Program (AGRI) Dairy Cooler Grant. It also received $3,500 for the summer meals program.

Loon chronicles IV: It’s hard being a loon on White Bear Lake
Another challenging week for the Loons on White Bear Lake. Any hopes of building a nest this week were dashed by the heavy winds and big waves. Thank you Sheila Bennett and Anne for your updates throughout the week. We checked both nesting sites and only spotted the soggy remnants of the Loons’ failed efforts. Both pairs of Loons are still together and continue to scout potential nesting sites. The Loon pair in the cove have circled Len’s nest a few times, but have yet to settle in on Len’s manmade nest. According to the experts on Man Trap Lake, it may take a few years for the Loons to settle in on the manmade nests. The Loon pair on the Birchwood shore appear to have moved on and are spending more of their time in the middle of the lake. Realistically, this is, most likely, the last week to expect any successful nesting. The Loons appear somewhat rudderless and less than enthusiastic about trying again. We hear them every night, flying overhead or calling across the lake at each other, but no nest and clutch in sight. We may be looking at another summer of nonstop partying with the rafting bachelors. Bittersweet. Ellen Maas
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Once again several Linden Avenue residents raised objections to traffic clogging their road accessing the new apartment complex on County Road E. It was too little, too late as City Council approved the Schafer Richardson planned unit development and preliminary plat. Councilman Steve Engstran was the lone nay vote, stating the property east of the Stadium Bar & Grill is the wrong spot for apartments and better suited for townhomes. The 193-unit complex will be mostly studio and one-bedroom units. Traffic studies show the tenants will generate 956 trips per day with 76% of those drivers using Linden Avenue. City Planner Anne Kane reminded council that Linden is designed to handle up to 5,000 trips per day. She also pointed out that the number of trips will likely decrease when a new bus transit station is built nearby at E and Highway 61. According to Schafer Richardson Vice President Maureen Michalski, market rate rents will range from $1,100 to $1,250 for studios; $1,465 to $1,695 for one bedroom and up to $2,125 for two bedrooms. Those prices are preliminary and will be reassessed. During a public hearing period, Linden Cove resident Terry Lee provided statistics on the number of cars that need to get through the stoplight and the expected gridlock from an “impossible” backup. “The p.m. commute will especially create congestion and safety issues on E,” he told council. “If it backs up on E, it will be a nightmare.” Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tom Snell said the chamber board believes the complex will have a positive impact on that part of the E corridor by helping small businesses. “It will be a wonderful asset and entice younger people to move into the city,” he maintained. Lee's wife Wendy also spoke, calling the complex “a monstrosity. It should be three levels, not four,” she said, adding that people would not have bought townhomes on Linden if they knew the complex would be built. Lee also felt the neighborhood meetings were held at a bad time – in the winter – when she and her husband are traveling. She felt the city wasn't considering Linden residents and suspected business was conducted “behind the scenes.” Councilman Dan Jones berated Lee for her comments accusing staff of working behind the scenes, saying, “That bothers me. Our staff works very hard and I'm sorry you weren't here for
the meetings. “I'm sorry you aren't here six months out of the year and enjoying your wealth while we plow snow. Planning happens in the winter.” He clarified that four stories is allowed in the zoning ordinance. There was no variance required. In total, the planning department held nine neighborhood meetings over the course of eight months on the Schafer Richardson proposal between November 2018 and June. In other business at the June 11 meeting, the council: • Heard a presentation by German members of the ClimateSmart Municipalities program through the University of Minnesota. White Bear Lake accepted an invitation to participate with five other cities in an exchange program to study climate change and energy sustainability. The White Bear delegates are from a 750-year-old city named Lüdenscheid in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany. A steering committee is being formed to determine a joint project conducive to the ClimateSmart partnership. • Approved a single event liquor extension, food trucks and road closures for a community-wide music event Aug. 3 hosted by Big Wood Brewery. A portion of Third and Fourth Streets will be closed from 3 to 10 p.m. for the event. Musical groups include Cadillac Three and the Devon Worley Band. Up to 1,500 attendees are expected. • Accepted a bid and awarded contract for 2019 sanitary sewer lining program to Visu-Sewer, Inc. for $99,300. • Approved a request by Katy Fick for a three-year renewal of a special home occupation permit at 2333 Mayfair Ave. Fick operates a massage therapy business out of a single-family residence. • Approved a request by Marya Voosen for a special home occupation permit at 5050 Division Ave. Voosen operates a dog grooming business out of a single family residence. • Approved use of Railroad Park by Special Team Charities for a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 24 charity collection event called “America is Beautiful.” Items will be collected for the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network. • Accepted donation from the White Bear Lions Club for fire department equipment. • Went into closed session to discuss purchase of real estate at 2174 Eighth St. It's on the northwest corner of Eighth and Washington Avenue and owned by Ballata Enterprises. Market value for the 0.17 acre piece was listed at $164,300 by Ramsey County. Councilman Kevin Edberg was absent.

COMMUNITY BRIEF
First-time homebuyers partnering with Habitat for Humanity to buy homes Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity recently created a fi rst-of-its-kind mortgage program that targets those who want to buy an existing house, but don’t earn enough to qualify for a mortgage from a traditional lender. The program enables the organization to serve a broader income range, including those who may think their income is too high to qualify for Habitat. Households earning $40,000 to $80,000 have successfully bought homes with Habitat in recent years. Habitat is on pace to help more than 100 Twin Cities families buy homes this year – double its historic average — through its $55 million “Multiplying the Impact” campaign. Twin Cities Habitat’s program expansion was made possible by an innovative partnership with Bremer Bank. The $98 million partnership is the largest of its kind among Habitat affi liates

nationwide and now serves as a model, offering these features: • Households can use Habitat’s mortgage to buy a home for sale on the open real estate market or a home developed by Twin Cities Habitat. • Every homebuyer receives an affordable, fi xed-rate, long-term mortgage with monthly payments set no more than 30% of income. Habitat mortgages are provided by its wholly-owned nonprofit mortgage lending subsidiary, TCHFH Lending, Inc. • Every homebuyer household completes a combination of one-on-one fi nancial coaching, homeownership classes, and sweat equity volunteer hours before buying a home.

LOOKING BACK Week of June 16 – June 22, 2019 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1919 We want to compliment the Fourth of July Committee on their act in engaging the White Bear School Band to play here on the 4th. School bands are becoming quite the thing through the country and it was White Bear that took the lead. 1944 Shop at National Tea Co. Food Stores – better values, lower prices. Kidney beans – 10 cents, grape jam, 35 cents, our breakfast coffee, 3 lb. bag – 59 cents… 1969 The open installation of officers and choir, Bethel No. 51, International Order of Job’s Daughters, was held on Friday, June 13, at 8 o’clock at Garnet Lodge Masonic Temple, Ninth and Stewart Sts. Carol Venburg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Keith Venburg, 2267 Birch, was installed as Honored Queen, Suzanna Brownlee as the Senior Princess; Kathleen Larson, Junior Princess; Linda Paar, Guide, and Ann Brownlee, Marshal. 1994 A group of White Bear Lake residents, charged with updating the city’s strategic plan, spent several hours last week re-evaluating the city’s strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities.

Bear golfers saved best for last with foursome at state BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
White Bear Lake had four players — a senior, two sophomores and an eighth-grader — in the state golf tournament last week. And that was an uplifting conclusion to an otherwise undistinguished season. Teeing off at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids were senior Jake Paulson, sophomores Lleyton Roed and Joe Frattalone, and eighth-grader Camden O’Malley, last Tuesday and Wednesday. “The ‘state’ is the tournament that every golfer wants to go to, sometime in their career,” longtime coach Craig Nasvik said. “This has happened just once before, where White Bear Lake sent four to state, without qualifying as a team.” The coach savored that, especially after the Bears placed seventh among nine teams in the Suburban East Conference. “Given this spring, with the inconsistent weather, postponements and rescheduling of events, it was very difficult to be anything towards our best day, until the section,” said Nasvik. The Bears played better at Section 4AAA, placing second behind runaway champion Stillwater, and had
four boys in the top 10 to advance. “That was awesome,” Paulson acknowledged. It helped, the senior captain added, that some teams who beat them in conference “didn’t show up” (play well) at the section. In his second state appearance, Paulson led the Bear group, shooting 38-44-82 on Tuesday and 38-37-75 on Wednesday for a 157 total that placed 51st. Paulson was happy to be playing golf at all, having missed six meets due to a wrist injury suffered in a fall during the winter. After averaging around 77 as a junior, he was not able to break 80 when he got back — until the second day at state. “I drove really well, and putted well,” said Paulson. A highlight was chipping for an eagle on East No. 6. He was playing par golf until bogeying the last three holes. Roed, a sophomore, shot 37-38-75 Tuesday and 45-4085 Wednesday for a 160 total. About his 75 the first day, Roed said he was able to “keep my scorecard clean” with consistent play and lots of pars. He notched one birdie, when he got within 12 feet with a pitching wedge and drained the putt. Roed averaged about 79 for the season, highlighted by a 72 at the University of Minnesota course. Frattalone, also in his second state trip, shot 39-4281 Tuesday and 41-44-85 Wednesday for a 166 total. O’Malley turned in scores of 43-44-87 and 44-44-88 for

a 175 total. With four years left, he’ll have plenty of chances to improve on that. Roed and Frattalone each played in two state tournaments as a sophomore; they also helped the hockey team win Section 4AA. Roed figures there’s a good chance for more state trips. “In hockey, we’ll have a good group coming back,” he said. And golf, with three state qualifiers back, “should be pretty good, too.”
Mahtomedi lacrosse claims fifth place at state BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Colin Hagstrom sprints with the ball after winning a face-off against St. Thomas Academy. Hagstrom achieved a very high percentage at the state tournament and all season.
Mahtomedi had one bad quarter in three games at the state lacrosse tournament last week and came home with a 2-1 record and the fifth-place trophy. The Zephyrs led conference rival St. Thomas Academy (STA) 8-6 after three quarters in the state opener at Chanhassen on Tuesday, but lost 11-8. St. Thomas Academy was hampered by nine penalties in the game, against just one against Mahtomedi, but the Cadets got everything clicking in the final quarter, outscoring the Zephyrs 5-0. For Mahtomedi, Nathaniel Graslewicz, Levi Lemke and Connor Stoker
each scored two goals. Ryan Pilla and E.J. Charpentier had one each. Colin Hagstrom won 17 of 22 face-offs. Goalie Gus Magnusson stopped five of 16 shots. For STA, Luke Williams delivered five goals and Daniel McFadden three. The Zephyrs bounced back, toppling Centennial 15-10 Thursday and Wayzata 9-6 Saturday, both at Minnetonka, to close on a high note with the consolation championship and a 13-6 record. Graslewicz erupted for six goals against Centennial, tying the state tournament single-game record. His last goal, nine seconds into the last quarter, gave Mahtomedi a 13-5 lead. Lemke notched two goals and three assists. Hagstrom had two goals, and
won 21 of 23 face-offs. Pilla, Ethan Russell, Tanner Whitmore, Samuel Donna and Neal Dardis tallied a goal each. Goalie Xander Williams stopped seven of 17 shots. Against Wayzata, Hagstrom and Stoker notched two goals each, and Pilla, Charpentier, Lemke, Donna and Dardis had one each. It was Mahtomedi’s third state trip. The past two years, they won in the first round and lost twice, officially placing fourth. Prior Lake repeated as state champion, beating Benilde-St. Margaret’s 5-3 in the finals. BSM stopped St. Thomas 10-3 in the semifinals.

Long time coming: White Bear native wins state tennis title BY JARED MARTINSON PRESS INTERN
How many high school athletes can say they played six years of a varsity sport and capped it off with a state championship as a senior? White Bear Lake resident Parker Law makes the list. Law, a senior tennis player at Mounds Park Academy in St. Paul, won the Class A singles championship June 7. He defeated Redwood Valley’s Rikard Wilkens 6-2, 6-1 in a dominant performance. But the road hasn’t always been easy, going all the way back to when he was 13 years old as a seventh grader. “We had a very strong team with two doubles state finalists as our one and two singles players. They gave me a lot of opportunities to play competitive tennis during the season and kept me excited to play on the team,” Law said. He was inserted into the varsity order as a seventh grader and won Rookie of the Year. Law’s freshman season offered a new role and a new challenge: the top spot in the lineup. He had to get creative in improving himself while leading his team at the same time. “At first, I struggled,” Law remembered. “But I continued to develop specific assets to my game while giving my teammates the best practice experience I could.”
His first team MVP and all-conference awards were a result of that development. That momentum and success carried over into his upperclass years. Law was named team MVP and all-conference the next three seasons, but something was still missing: a championship. He found himself in that spot as a junior, making a run to the final round of the state tournament but falling short of the victory. Standing 6 feet 6 inches has advantages in tennis, but agility and muscle maintenance are a couple physical areas Law doesn’t have the high ground on. “Tennis can be a very challenging game. There are off days, injuries, and periods of time where you don’t see as much development as you are hoping for,” Law said. “I have learned to focus on things within my control, and not to worry about the result.” So he came back for a senior year filled with motivation ready to “give 100 percent effort”, as he said. And naturally, a shot at redemption was served right to him at the Reed-Sweatt Tennis Center in Minneapolis June 7. Head coach Bryan Biever said the title match was the best Law has ever played. Multiple comebacks were needed to secure the win, Law locking into his own play more than any outside distrac-

tion. “With how well my opponent was playing, the noise from the crowd and TV cameras, having something simple to focus on gives me confidence to play my best,” he said. Not only did he lift an individual trophy, Law helped win another state championship on the team level for Mounds Park Academy, a contest highlighted by a three hour, 40 minute deciding match in 4 singles, defeating St. Paul Academy 4-3. “Closing out the season with wins for
both myself and the team feels incredible,” Law said. “I know I will look back at these events in the future and every time it will bring a smile to my face.” The page of a decorated career at Mounds Park Academy is turning, but Law will continue to compete at the collegiate level. He will head to Babson College in Boston to study business and play tennis. For now, he will continue to reminisce a long road, a championship ending, and another summer on the lake.
Big jump for Mahtomedi golfer: 15th place at state game Tuesday when she had a shaky start, three over par after three holes, but “held it together, and did not let it compound,” to fi nish the round plus-five. Asked what her strengths are, she also cited improvement in her putting and chipping the past year. Currently a golf-only athlete, after
five years swimming and six in softball, Simon will enter several tournaments this summer. She is especially excited to be invited to Callaway’s Future Champions of Golf event in California in late July.

Andrew Murphy and Leo Bustos were named co-Most Valuable Players on the Mahtomedi baseball team that finished 14-10. They were joined by Jake Arlandson and Tony Neubeck as all-Metro East Conference picks. Murphy, senior outfielder, led the Zephyrs with a .446 batting average, 21 RBIs, 18 runs and nine extra-base hits (all doubles). Bustos, junior pitcher/outfielder, hit .346 with two homers and 18 RBI. The team’s No. 1 starter, he pitched 50 innings, notching 54 strikeouts, a 4-4 record and 2.38 ERA. Arlandson, senior infielder, hit .384 with two homers, 16 RBIs and 15 runs. Neubeck, sophomore pitcher/first baseman, also named team Rookie of the Year, posted four saves and a 2-1 record in 11 relief appearances, striking out 23 in 17 innings. He hit .232 with 13 runs. All-conference honorable mention went to juniors Hayes Bergren, Luke Ricker, and Blake Hogan, and sophomore Johnny DeVore. DeVore pitched 48.3 innings with 59 strikeouts, a 5-3 record, and 1.74 ERA. Ricker had a 2-2 record in 26.7 innings, striking out 32, and batted .317. One more .300 hitter was senior Alex Mogren at .310.

Mahtomedi golfer Maddie Simon was elated to reach state a year ago as a freshman, but not happy with the result. Simon did something about that last week, capping a stellar sophomore season with a 15th-place finish in Class 3A at the state tournament. She carved out a 37-40-77 on Tuesday and 40-42-82 on Wednesday for a 157 total, 13 over par, at Bunker Hills. “I’m happy with 15th place, considering my goal at the start of the season was top 25, and how last year went,” said the 5 foot 6 inch Simon, who jumped 66 places from 2018, when she shot 197. Slipping a few strokes on day two rankled her a bit, though. “I feel I left a lot of scoring opportunities on the course,” she said, “so looking back and reflecting, I know I could have done better. It makes me more motivated to work harder and hopefully finish in the top eight next year.” Simon, coached by Matt Huss, picked up two big wins, both at
Tanners Brook in Forest Lake, this season, shooting 74 at an invitational there, and 80-75 at the section meet. She averaged 79 for the season. The state champion was Simley freshman Isabella McCaulay with 67-68-135. Simon was pleased with her mental

Tennis Day set for July 20 to promote sport locally Seeking to coordinate tennis activities and promote the sport in White Bear Lake, Alan Haskins has created a website and will host an event called Tennis Day on July 20. “I love tennis, and I play all year. I want to turn up the volume on tennis in the community,� said Haskins, owner of a marketing fi rm. He is working with about a dozen tennis moms on this project. The website — wbltennis.org — has been launched as a “one-stop resource for local tennis,� Haskins announced. The bulk of the content is resources for people looking to get into tennis. Haskins, who was captain of his high school team at Minnetonka,

and has a daughter who plays, designed tee-shirts and logos for the organization. He also wants to play up the social aspects of tennis, and to bring together the various levels of tennis players and coaches in the community.

Ten drills to help you improve your game
very year I devote a column to golf drills that you can do at home or on the range. One of the easiest ways I know to improve your golf swing is to use practice drills. A well-designed drill will help you “feel� what the body is supposed to be doing during the swing. The golf swing is nothing more Tee than a series of movements that need to be performed in the proper seTime quence. What happens to many golfers is one part of the swing breaks down, Betsy Larey and from that point on it’s difficult to get back in sequence. It’s been said that it takes 1,500 repetitions to form a habit. So if you have a swing fault that you can’t seem to get past, give one of these drills a try. 1. The body pivot. Indoor or outdoor. Get in your good golf posture; (bend from the hips, straight back, shoulders over toes, left shoulder higher than right so head is behind the ball, slight knee flex, and weight on middle to balls of feet) cross arms over chest. Set a chair behind you and make sure you are touching it with your rear end. Turn to the top of your backswing; the right cheek should remain on the chair. Start the downswing and at impact, the right cheek has separated from the chair and the left is still touching. At finish, you should feel the left hip leave the chair. 2. To promote the correct wrist lag to impact, try the pump move drill. Go to the top of your swing with a short iron. In slow motion, start the downswing with the grip moving down towards the ball while keeping the wrist hinge intact. Do this twice, and on
the third time finish the swing. 3. Stay connected to improve release. Put a head cover or towel under your left arm. Make your normal swing. Keeping it there forces your left arm to fold at the elbow on the follow through, avoiding the dreaded “left arm chicken wing�. 4. To eliminate sliding through impact, stick a shaft in the ground next to your target side leg. This can be done with or without a ball. As you swing through to your finish, feel yourself posting around the shaft. You can also put a shaft outside of your backside leg if you sway back instead of turning your hips in your backswing. 5. 45 degrees back to target. Set up to hit a shot with an 8 iron, feet closer together. Turn your back 45 degrees away from the target. (If you turned your body completely away from the target, it would be 90 degrees). Grip down on the bottom of the grip. The goal is to hook the ball. You will not be able to use your body, just your arms. This is the best drill for golfers who can’t release the clubhead through impact. 6. Feet together, weight transfer. This is for those who can’t get their weight transferred to their left (target) side. This is done without a ball, and best done with a driver. Stand with your feet together. Take the club back to the top of your swing. At the same time as you start your downswing, step towards the target with your left foot. Finish your swing, standing tall and facing the target. 7. Grip pressure just right. Hold a club up in front of you with your wrists hinged so that the club head is pointing towards the sky. Start with a very light grip pressure, we’ll call it one. Now count out loud to 10, increasing the pressure just a little each time. At 10,

WEATHER TIDBIT We avoided the heavy downpours and thunderstorms that other parts of the metro received this past week, which allowed us to dry out a bit. Temperatures were even somewhat reasonable if not on the cool side, including a downright chilly morning last Thursday, June 13 when it was 44º. Despite what seems like a cooler than usual June, we’re pretty close to normal; even rainfall has fallen drier than normal for the month. No foreseeable heat waves or torrential downpours are expected this week as we head into summer, which begins on Friday, June 21 at 10:54pm. Nature Note: Noticed that goslings come in all different sizes, from small as a few weeks old to older than a month and getting bigger.

you should have a death grip. Now count backwards to one, releasing the pressure a little each time. Then go back up the scale to 3-4. 8. Bowling down the target line. Get into your address position, arms extended sideways (as an extension of your shoulders) Put a ball on the ground and one in your right hand. Turn your back to the target. Your left hand should be pointing at the ball on the ground. If it’s pointing closer to your toes, or closer to the skyline you have lost your posture. From there, take the ball in your right hand and roll it on the ground towards the target, just like you would a bowling ball, and when you finish pat yourself on your left shoulder. You should be able to pick up your right toe without losing your balance. This all purpose drill promotes the correct pivot, weight transfer, balance and proper finish. 9. Split grip teaches correct release. Using a short iron, take your grip so that there are 1-2 inches of space between your hands. Taking half swings, through impact try to feel the right hand crossing over the left. At the top of your half backswing, the toe of the club should be pointing skyward. If your hands release at impact, the toe should again be pointing skyward at the finish. I’ve actually had a couple of clients split their hands using a driver and they’ve added another 30 yards to their drive! 10. To promote starting the downswing with your lower body. With a practice swing, start your downswing by taking a small step towards the target with your left foot. Take two or three of these then take a swing. Starting the downswing with your lower body gets the club coming down from the inside every time.

Summer project: Suicide prevention BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
White Bear Lake student Mira Stearns decided to spend her summer on a community project to raise awareness about suicide prevention. Stearns plans to pass out yard signs in White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Vadnais Heights and Hugo for the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. She is hoping to raise $2,250 to purchase 750 signs and is organizing a bake sale at her church, St. Stephen Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake, to raise money. “I really wanted to do a service project this summer,” said Stearns, who is a junior and will be attending Century College as a post-secondary enrollment option (PSEO) student this fall. “I really enjoy helping people.”
Mental health is a passion of hers. “I have known a lot of people who have suffered form depression or thoughts of suicide,” she said. Although she hasn't personally experienced the struggle or grief of suicide, she has had friends who had family members take their own lives. “It is extremely heartbreaking to me,” she said. “It wrenches my heart to think that people can't get help or feel like they can't get help.” In Minnesota, there were 13.8 suicides per 100,000 people in 2018, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Journal of the American Medical Association, recently analyzed by SeniorLiving. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. Stearns thought signs around town in business lawns and resident yards would be an encouragement
YOU SHOULD KNOW: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255), or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.
to those struggling that they are not alone. The signs will have slogans on them like “You matter” or “You are loved,” Stearns noted. You can sign up to place a sign in your yard at signs.for.suicide.awareness@gmail.com or donate at a Gofundme page titled “Yard Signs For Suicide Awareness and Prevention.” If extra funds are raised, they will be given to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention-Greater Minnesota Chapter. The signs are expected to be placed around the area in early August.

Environmental short film awarded: Apples, bikes displace junk food, trucks BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
White Bear Lake Area High School students were recently awarded for a short fi lm about environmental sustainability. The fi lm by the Environmental Club titled “A Change of Heart” features a teenager learning the value of making choices that take care of the environment and herself. At the beginning of the fi lm, she is seen hanging out with a group of students who have little regard for the environment. She drives around in a large truck with her boyfriend, littering and eating and drinking junk food from single-use containers. She leaves the friend group for another she fi nds drinking from water bottles and eating fruits and vegetables. Another guy wins her heart with an apple and she bikes off with him. The Environmental Club was invited to participate in the Energy Video Competition as part of a Climate Smart Municipalities partnership between Minnesota and Rhine Westphalia, Germany, reported Environmental Club Advisor Amy Hawkins Donlin. Sixteen other schools participated. “A Change of Heart” placed fi rst in the international competition. The fi lm was also entered in the “YOUR BIG IDEA for a Sustainable Minnesota” contest, sponsored by District Energy of St. Paul and the St. Paul Saints. It tied for second place among 18 Minnesota schools and won $1,500 for the club. The top three schools were recognized at a June 8 Saints game. Kelliher Public Schools' winning

ISD 624 has received the awards for 19 consecutive years. “The fi nance team in White Bear works hard to navigate a complicated state school fi nance system, and the district has a history of excellence in this area,” said Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations Tim Wald. “This recognition demonstrates the commitment the School Board and district leadership have to transparency and accountability with our fi nances.” In a recent community survey, the district’s fi nancial responsibility was found to be rated high by area residents. “As a district, we are proud of the community’s confidence in the handling of our fi nances,” said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak. “We place a high level of importance on being good stewards of community resources and trust.”
The White Bear Lake Area School District has received a bond rating of AA from Standard and Poor’s every year the district has applied since 2010.
Party in Park The White Bear Lake Area Schools Community Services and Recreation department is hosting a Party in the Park for all families from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 26 at the Stellmacher Park Pavilion, 3930 Linden St., White Bear Lake. There will be a picnic dinner, sports, games and crafts.
Students organize Walk for Water The fourth annual student-led Walk 4 Water event will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 10 at West Park in White Bear Lake.

Central School in Nigeria. It is led by local alumni and students Isabel Birkeland, Sydney Peterson, Ivory Drusch and Lucy Guidinger. After the 5K walk along Lake Avenue, participants will enjoy cupcakes, refreshments, music, and celebratory sparklers. To register or donate, go to lifecoreyoga.com/events.
