Fitzgerald conference turns back time in White Bear Lake BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER LOWDOWN EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The International F. Scott Fitzgerald Society conference is coming to St. Paul, creating ripples that stretch to White Bear Lake this June. The famous writer was born in St. Paul and spent summers visiting friends in the White Bear Lake area. In the summer of 1922, he lived with his wife Zelda and daughter Scottie at the White Bear Yacht Club. Rumor has it that the Fitzgeralds were so rowdy that they were kicked out of the club, but White Bear Lake writer and historian Mary Jane LaVigne thinks that the story might have been exaggerated. The conference corresponds with the events of Manitou Days, so LaVigne has worked with the conference to establish a new event that highlights the Fitzgerald's connection to White Bear Lake. On Tuesday, June 27, White Bear locals and conference attendees alike are invited to “Turn Back Time Tuesday.” Guests are encouraged to dress in a historic style of clothing from anytime during Fitzgerald's lifetime — from the late 1800s to the 1940s. The event will take place at Boatworks Commons 4-5:30 p.m. “It's kind of interesting, because the Fitzgeralds were living in White Bear Lake in 1922, and the calendar is the same in 2017, so Tuesday, the 27th would have been a date the Fitzgeralds were actually living on White Bear Lake,” LaVigne said. Old vehicles and boats are also encouraged at the event, and those who participate will receive complimentary lemonade and cookies — Oreos and Lorna Doones, just like in Fitzgerald's time. LaVigne said she also hopes to arrange live 20s-style music. The conference, which lasts June 25-July 1, will host a slew of Fitzgerald-themed social events around the Twin Cities and beyond. Although not open to the public, some conference attendees will also get a chance to attend a presentation at the White Bear Yacht Club given by Arlyne Bruccoli, a Fitzgerald memorabilia collector who personally knew Scott and Zelda's daughter Scottie.

Historic trolley returns to Mahtomedi BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Mahtomedi residents out and about on June 13 might be excused for falling back and thinking they were in a time warp upon glimpsing a red trolley rolling past the tall grass and ponds in the small town. After all, it has been 66 years since the last streetcar clanged its way through the marshy farmland south of town on its way to the shores of White Bear Lake. On that warm, humid

Tuesday earlier this month, 60 guests of the Wildwood Library trundled down the streets of Mahtomedi, listening to stories of the city's past, imagining days gone by and listening to a few groaners from tour leader Parker Foss. The trolley, borrowed from the Stillwater Trolley company, even dodged a snapping turtle or two, just as the streetcars probably did at the turn of the 20th century. SEE HISTORIC TROLLEY, PAGE 8A

A trolley was borrowed from Stillwater for a historic tour of Mahtomedi last week.

Loon Chronicles II: Next Generation The Loon parents continue to take turns tending the nest and standing sentry on the edge of the War Zone. The Red-winged Blackbirds have chosen to leave the Loons alone and, for the time being, take their chances chasing the big birds, including Eagles, Herons and Egrets. This much needed peace and quiet allows the Loons to focus on the task at hand: getting ready for the hatch.

NAMES IN THE NEWS The new chairman of the White Bear Lake area YMCA, Gene Altstatt, accepts the gavel from outgoing chairman Carter Johnson. Altstatt is a Mahtomedi resident and owner of Altstatt Financial Strategies.

Get the lead out F YOU ARE living in an older home that likely has lead pipes, for your health and safety it might be a good idea to run the water for 30 seconds to two minutes before using it for drinking or cooking. This information comes from the Portland, Oregon Water Bureau. They suggest using cold water for cooking and baby formula. Avoid the hot water tap for cooking and drinking. They also suggest cleaning the faucet aerator periodically and having your children tested for lead. When replacing plumbing, be sure to buy those without lead or a low lead content in the About the fixtures. THE LAKE LEVEL of White Town Bear Lake is now at its highest 11 years, being a few inches Gene Johnson in over the high norm. That’s pleasing to local homeowners, boaters and swimmers that we will now have lifeguards at Ramsey County Beach. A lot of vegetation including scrub trees grew in shallow areas during the drought period. Some of that will die off leaving tree stubs and more vegetation decaying on the bottom. I didn’t like the recent story in the Star Tribune suggesting White Bear Lake is nothing but a mud hole, but I would agree there are bays with decayed and decaying vegetation that could be dredged or vacuumed out. It’s hard to manage natural resources when there are so many layers of government that are involved. It is still a beautiful sheet of water, as Mark Twain once said. AT THIS MOMENT the Dow is over 20,000. If there is a 100 point drop, it would only be a half a percent drop. Back in the seventies when the Dow was 861, a 100 point drop equaled an 11.6 percent drop. I don’t know if that makes you feel better or not. One has to take the total in perspective for a percentage factor. ON SATURDAY, MAY 20, area residents turned out in huge numbers to support Paul Auger and his family while he is recovering from Guillain-Barre disease. The lower level of the Village Sports Bar fi lled with supporters bringing greetings, bidding in the silent auction, celebrating with the Winter Carnival entourage, and enjoying tacos and beverages. A good number of fundraisers take place all over to assist people who have suffered a loss or tragedy. It’s a great way to help, not only fi nancially but to give them encouragement and hope. WITH THE TREND toward online buying from the big competitors like Walmart, Target and others, we see retailers making adjustments with online shipping, store pickup and free returns. The future of malls could end up being office buildings. If you want to keep a community and its business district alive, shop at home as much as you can. Price, convenience and fast delivery have attracted a lot of retail dollars to the giant known as Amazon, now with a Twin Cities distribution center. Our local business owners traditionally do their best to accommodate your needs and provide good service. WHITE BEAR HIGH School’s soft-spoken superintendent Michael Lovett is stepping aside after nine years of providing good leadership to the district. He provided a strong emphasis on writing, communication and moving the bar up throughout the district. He leaves the district several notches up from his tenure.

Seeds are not just for birds or your garden

ou may be getting ready to plant seeds in your garden and dreaming about a summer dinner from your home grown vegetables. Imagine the tiny little powerhouse seeds, that with a little water and sunlight, sprout and grow into a plant that bears food. Seeds are full of nutrients, and some happen to also be very tasty. Seeds are now Movers and in the spotlight of mainstream Shakers eating: not only do they provide inMegan Baumler credible nutrition and help prevent chronic they also increase h i disease, di the feeling of fullness, and may curb your cravings for sugar and snacks. Only a tablespoon or two is needed per day. Flax: Flaxseeds may have been the first seed to enter mainstream eating, once it was shown that they have heart protective benefits. Food products started showing up on grocery store shelves containing flaxseeds over a decade ago. The problem was that many of these cereals and other grain products contained whole flax seeds — in which case they would exit your body just as they entered, never having been digested and absorbed. To get the health benefits from flaxseeds, they need to be ground. It is best

to buy them whole and grind them yourself (buy a coffee bean grinder and reserve it for just grinding your flax), otherwise, you can buy ground flaxseeds. 2 tablespoons of ground flax provide 6 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, and 9 grams of fat. Ground flax seeds can be added to baked goods, sprinkled on oatmeal, salad, and yogurt. Chia: Chia seeds can be white or black and these special little seeds swell up when they are soaked in liquids. They have a reputation of helping performance in endurance sports, but any individual who consumes chia will reap great health benefits. Two tablespoons of chia seeds contain about 140 calories, 11 grams of fiber (1/3 of your daily need), 4 grams of protein, 9 grams of fat (over half of which is omega-3s), 20 percent of your daily need for calcium, and 30 percent of your daily need of magnesium. They contain antioxidants as well, which help your body fight against diseases. Chia seeds can be added to almost anything — if you eat them raw on salads or other dishes, they’ll add crunch. If you make pudding or jam with them, they will soften and swell and have a gel-like effect. I add them to my oatmeal and also my homemade energy bites. Hemp: Hemp seeds have a smooth, nutty texture and like chia and flax, are exceptionally nutritious and can be added to almost anything. They are less fishy than

flax and less crunchy than chia, making them in my opinion the most neutral seed. Hemp seeds provide 8 grams of protein per 2 tablespoons, which is twice the amount compared to flax and chia. Pumpkin (Pepitas): Pumpkin seeds are a beautiful green color, and are larger, flatter, and wider than flax, chia, or hemp. They contain a 15-30 percent of your daily needs for iron, zinc, magnesium, and copper. They provide about 7 grams of protein per 2 tablespoons, along with 2 grams of fiber and 13 grams of healthy fats. Their antioxidant content may help reduce inflammation in your body. Sesame: In the US, sesame seeds are often a garnish — you’ll find the white ones on buns. In the Middle East they are a staple, pureed into a smooth cream-like paste that is an essential ingredient of hummus. Tahini is a staple condiment in my fridge — it makes an excellent base for a salad dressing. One tablespoon provides 10 percent of your daily calcium needs, which is astonishing (move over, dairy). Like other seeds, sesame seeds may help reduce cholesterol levels. Most seeds are available at most grocery stores. Consume a couple servings of a variety of seeds per day to liven up your food and to improve your nutrition.

Bridging the gap between school lunch and SNAP

I wouldn’t be able to eat and would probably get sick if I didn’t have SNAP” I heard one senior neighbor say last week. With the president’s recent budget proposal to cut funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formally known as food stamps, our neighbors at the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf (WBAEFS) are expressing their concern. In the U.S, 45 million people, just 14 percent of the population, are enrolled in SNAP, with an average beneﬁt amount of only $1.40 per person per meal. To be eligible for SNAP, a household of four cannot earn more than $40,100 annually…before taxes. With Trump’s budget proposal, $191 billion would be slashed from the SNAP program over the next decade, with the aim to get people working. However, SNAP already requires

adults without children to work at least 20 hours a week to be eligible. Most of the families with children already work, but the earnings are just not enough, reﬂecting the issue of low wage jobs. Movers and Gaps often exist in assistance proShakers grams, resulting in some families falling Kristen Wanta through the cracks. We frequently learn off ffamilies kids are getting ili whose h reduced school lunch, but they are not quite eligible for SNAP beneﬁts. The income cut off for reduced lunch is $45,500 for a family of four, slightly higher than the cut off for SNAP. Our job at the WBAEFS is to help bridge the gap for our neighbors who earn too much to qualify or are not

Gaps often exist in assistance programs, resulting in some families falling through the cracks. getting enough assistance to support their family. In any given month, over 590 families come to the food shelf, and many earn just dollars above the income cap for these programs. In addition to our Market Shopping and weekly Bonus Friday, we partner with the White Bear School District to offer a KID Pack Program — a free, supplemental weekend food program for students.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Passersby P b jjumps iinto t action ti Tragedy was averted in Birchwood on June 7. A fire apparently ignited by a cigarette tossed to the roadside by a passerby was burning its way between two homes. Homeowners were unaware of the danger but luckily a crew from Cameron Tree Service spotted the fire when driving through Birchwood. They stopped and immediately went into action. They pounded on doors to alert the residents and then took swift synchronized action, grabbing any hose or bucket they could find to control the fire as it enveloped hedges and shot in the air and began to burn oak trees. Another neighbor, Brian Mielke, quickly called the fire department as Greg Nelson, Jeff Hernandez and Greg Rosenbloom of Cameron Tree Service worked to contain the fire. The White Bear Lake Fire Department arrived and made sure the area was safe. Without the quick thinking of the Cameron Tree Service crew and the help of neighbors and the fire department, it is likely both homes would have been severely damaged or worse. This is an example of a community pulling together to help one another and this is one of the reasons we are happy to be living in the Birchwood/White Bear Lake area. We wish to thank all who helped us on June 7. There are no words that can fully express the gratitude your kindness deserves. Joe and Yoshiko Miller Marilyn Van Pelt Birchwood

Remarks, applause reflected poorly I was embarrassed by the insulting and demeaning comments made by Jim Hoffman at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources hearing on the level of the lake. Dressed in scrubs and giving

his C.V. at the beginning of his remarks was a tipoff that the man’s ego was several feet taller than he. There simply is no reason for speaking to DNR staff the way he did. The applause he received from the audience reflected poorly on the entire community. Somehow I doubt that he did much to bolster the goodwill of those in charge of making the crucial decisions involving the lake. Tom Weyand White Bear Lake

Police officer declared not guilty in fatal shooting BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — A St. Anthony police officer involved in a fatal shooting in Falcon Heights last summer was declared not guilty by a jury June 16. Jeronimo Yanez, of Vadnais Heights, was charged in November by the Ramsey County Attorney's Office with second-degree manslaughter for the fatal shooting of Philando Castile during a traffic stop and two felony counts of dangerous

discharge of a firearm in relation to two passengers. Exiting the courthouse minutes after the verdict was read was Valerie Castile and other members of Philando's family. Valerie told a group of local and national media that had been waiting outside the courthouse all week that the justice system of Minnesota failed her son. She stated Yanez should not have gotten away with murder just because he is a police officer. During trial, police use of force experts

testified oppositely whether Yanez's use of deadly force was justifiable based on Minnesota law. Under Minnesota law, a police officer can use deadly force if his safety is threatened. Prosecution argued the safety factor is based on objective facts not subjective feelings. Defense argued Yanez saw Castile's hand on the gun, so the shooting was justified. Yanez testified that he saw Castile pulling out a gun and was scared for his life. Two members of the 12-member jury

have ties to the White Bear Lake area. One, a young black man in his 20s, is a White Bear Lake High School alum. Another middle-aged white woman works at a gas station in White Bear Lake. Several houses in Yanez's neighborhood were displaying American flags with blue stripes through them this week, a common police support symbol. The city of St. Anthony announced Friday its plans to end Yanez’s employment as an officer with a voluntary separation agreement.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Police department adds new officer A familiar face was sworn in as a new White Bear Lake police officer June 13. Officer Ryan Sheak took the law enforcement oath before the mayor and City Council after a quick introduction by Police Chief Julie Swanson. Swanson said she was excited to welcome Sheak to the department as a White Bear Lake police officer. He was a part-time community service officer for the department since December 2015 and like many members of the force, graduated from White Bear Lake Area High School. Sheak is married to wife Amber and has three children. His grandfather, Don Reynolds, pinned on his badge. When introducing Sheak to the council, the chief said he “always has a smile on his face and is willing to be a team player.”

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

Vadnais Heights • A 49-year-old St. Paul woman had reportedly been harassing a 52-year-old Centerville woman in the predawn hours of June 7 over which of them a boyfriend was attached to. The younger woman broke the older woman’s window at her house and spent several hours outside honking her horn. The younger woman was booked into the jail on harassment charges. Meanwhile, the boyfriend laid low. • Yes, it was 3 a.m., but this tale did not feature Jake from State Farm. A 29-year-old Minneapolis man with a record of stalking threw a rock through the window of a 30-year-old local woman June 9. The suspect was charged with felony domestic assault. • Parking lot video at Walmart in the predawn hours of June 9 featured a woman getting into an employee's car and stripping naked. The woman then ran around the lot, getting into several unlocked vehicles until deputies caught up with her. The naked 20-something said she was a 24-year-old Burnsville resident but had no ID or, really, any place to carry one. After offering several versions of her name and birthdate, the woman was given some clothes and booked into the jail on disorderly conduct and providing false information to police charges as well as several outstanding warrants for her arrest. • A man bought a new 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage from a dealership June 9 in the 3400 block of Hwy. 61 and drove it away before the loan papers were approved. The loan never was approved, however, and

the vehicle was classified as stolen, even though the buyer was handed the keys. It was recovered several days later and an investigation continues. • The apartment resident had been out of town for several days when the manager of the complex in the 600 block of County Road D noticed a screen had been removed from the resident’s patio door. When the resident returned June 9, she reported the loss of a laptop computer worth $1,000 and an undetermined amount of cash. • Deputies responded to a reported ruckus in the early morning hours of June 11 at a mobile home park in the 100 block of Skyline Drive. The 53-yearold female complainant had asked a 49-year-old man with no permanent address to hit the road and enlisted the help of two park residents to make it happen. Fists flew, perhaps too aggressively, and two males, 20 and 26, were charged with fi fth-degree assault and disorderly conduct and booked into the Ramsey County Jail. The victim refused medical attention. • A heavy equipment repair warehouse in the 3200 block of Labore Road was broken into overnight June 12 and welding equipment and supplies went missing. Burglars apparently loaded a pallet of welding wire onto a Ford F-450 and drove it away. The empty truck was recovered the next day. • Deputies responding to a crash the night of June 13 in the 3300 block of Centerville Road arrested a 37-year-old Beloit, Wisconsin man. The out-of-state resident, who has a criminal history, was charged with third-degree blood-alcohol test refusal, false information to police, driving after license revocation and no insurance. He was locked up tighter than a canned ham. The owner of the truck, not on

the scene, was mailed a citation for no insurance.

White Bear Township • When passersby saw a man sitting behind the wheel in his vehicle drinking beer in a parking lot in the 1100 block of County Road J on June 7, the witness alerted a deputy in the area. The drinker, no age given and who tested an “extremely low alcohol level,” was given a verbal warning. • A love triangle featuring an 18-year-old woman, a 19-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl got the attention of authorities when the 18-year-old pepper-sprayed the 16-year-old June 7 and punched her in the face. Witnesses said the 18-year-old had previously been in a relationship with the 19-yearold. An investigation of this one continues. • A 66-year-old Pond View Lane resident was the victim of a burglary on June 8. It may be related to her failure to change her password after giving it to a worker who needed access to the home to measure a window. More than 100 pieces of jewelry as well as several of her father's World War II medals went missing sometime during the 10 hours a burglar had access to the property while the homeowner was gone. • A garage door left open the evening of June 8 in the 1200 block of Pond View Lane led to the theft of four lawn chairs. The chairs, two blue, one red and one green, were valued at $30 each. • A man was found draped over the wheel just after midnight June 8 at the intersection of Taylor and Hoxie avenues with his headlights on. The 50-yearold Marquette, Michigan man was booked into jail on a fourth-degree DWI charge.

Police capture serial burglars WHITE BEAR LAKE — Local police officers, in cooperation with other agencies, recently caught two serial burglars who had been trolling the area since February. White Bear Lake Police officers responded to a burglary of an apartment-complex garage in the 3100 block of Glen Oaks Avenue during the early morning June 6, where several vehicles were entered and a garage door opener was stolen. Four days later, officers were again called to the apartment-complex for a report of two males rifling through vehicles in the same apartment garage early Saturday morning. Both males fled when confronted by a resident, who then reported the incident to police. One male fled in a vehicle, which later was determined to have been reported stolen from St. Louis Park. The other

male, Brandon Biljan, 34, was located by officers and arrested a short distance from the scene. The Ramsey County Attorney’s Officer charged Biljan with two counts of burglary Daniel Labarre June 12. After a thorough investigation by White Bear Lake Police officers and investigators, the suspect who fled in the stolen vehicle was identified as Daniel Labarre, 29. Labarre was located and arrested by the St. Paul Police Depart-

ment on June 13. Labarre was charged by the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office today with three counts of burglary stemming from these incidents as well as a similar burglary which occurred in White Bear Lake on April 28 in the 3500 block of Willow Avenue. In addition to these burglary charges, Labarre had a warrant for credit card fraud, which stemmed from another White Bear Lake incident in February. Other law enforcement agencies have been in contact with White Bear Lake police regarding how Labarre is suspected of a variety of similar crimes in their jurisdictions. “We commend our citizens from all of these incidents for contacting the police when they encounter suspicious activity/people,” stated the department. “ Additionally, we wish to commend our officers, specifically Officer Jon

Sanders, and Investigator Ryan George, for their tireless effort in identifying and locating Labarre, who we consider a career criminal, as his criminal history includes at least 10 prior felony convictions. We also wish to thank the St. Paul Police Department for locating and arresting Labarre.” White Bear Lake police encourage residents to immediately call 911 when they see suspicious people or vehicles in their neighborhood. If anyone has additional information they would like to share regarding these crimes or others please contact Captain Dale Hager with the White Bear Lake Police Department at 651-429-8511.

book about the Yacht Club's history, will also give a presentation. “Most of (of the conference events are) in St. Paul,” LaVigne said. “They have some really great tours and other public events, including a fun pool party at the Athletic Club, and a St. Paul Saints game on Saturday, July 1, that some White Bear people will be participating in too.” In 2016, the White Bear Center for the Arts (WBCA) hosted an educational series about Fitzgerald's connection to the community, taught by LaVigne. “A lot of people came with stories and had a lot to add to the story,” she said. “That was a very valuable thing that the art center did because they helped to create more of a historic record.” WBCA was also instrumental in helping LaVigne coordinate the the event, along with the White Bear Lake Historical Society. LaVigne said that being involved with the conference has also aided in her own Fitzgerald scholarship. “I'm an essayist; when I write I kind of digest an experience, so I'll probably write about this as part of the story,” she said. “It's allowed me to have some standing as an independent scholar.” LaVigne was able to get special permission from Princeton University to borrow a copy of a page from Zelda's scrapbook. “It (includes) a picture of the Yacht Club she's embellished to look like it's floating in the clouds. There's a picture of her with a golf club, and then on a kneeboard getting pulled behind a boat.

Historically, Mahtomedi became a streetcar destination because of its location on the south shore of White Bear Lake, so it was fitting that a trolley filled with passengers paid homage to historic sites. Highlights of the tour included stops at a private home on Warner Avenue that used to be the Silver Slipper/Kings Horses speakeasy; Elsie Inn at 410 Warner Ave., which was once a popular “roadhouse” or brothel; Piccadilly Square, site of the Piccadilly Restaurant (1914-2005); the Streetcar House at 956 Mahtomedi Ave. made up of five streetcars, Frank Guarnera's beer and spaghetti place and gas station on Mahtomedi Avenue at Juniper Street, Mahtomedi Hotel and natural amphitheater at Chautauqua Park; an original Tilt-a-Whirl from Wildwood Amusement Park at the 4 Seasons Restaurant; Green Gables and Streetcar Park, site of a streetcar depot and pivot table to turn streetcars around, and the site of Mahtomedi's first high school, Lincolntown High School (1931-1991), where the Mahtomedi School District Office stands today. Foss, a Mahtomedi resident, hosted the tour and reviewed historical facts that many residents already knew. He also provided trolley riders with tidbits that many did not know. For example, Hamline Lake, behind Briarwood Avenue, is a fraction of its original size. The rest of Hamline Lake used to be where the playground and hockey rinks are behind the school district office today. The first public library in Mahtomedi was located near the current school district office. The public library was later moved to the Domino's Pizza building in Willernie before being moved to its current location next door to the Mahtomedi Fire Department. The Mahtomedi Hotel had 40 rooms for those who didn't want to spend the night camping out. Windows facing the lake cost $2 and windows facing the back cost $1. During the day, visitors to

Chautauqua Park and its amphitheater between the hotel and the lake heard famous orators of the day such as William Jennings Bryan and maybe even Mark Twain. The Zephyr colors of blue and gold started out as violet and gold. It is also believed that the Zephyr mascot was derived from the trains that passed nearby. Summit Avenue is so named because homes on it were the summer homes of St. Paul people who lived in mansions on the capital city's premier street. Griffin Street is actually a misspelling. The street was supposed to have been named after George Gribbon, but when the nomination for the street name came through, the writing was illegible and caused the spelling to be changed. Wildwood Amusement Park was a key fixture in Mahtomedi in the early 20th century, and so were gangsters. The Who's Who of gangsters rumored to have set foot on Mahtomedi soil include Lloyd “Baby Face” Nelson, Ma Barker, Alvin “Creepy” Karpis and John Dillinger. Gangsters behaved themselves for the most part, dining at local establishments or handing out ice cream and candy to children. However, during the summer of 1930, streetcar riders were surprised to find the bloody and bullet-riddled bodies of three gangsters draped over the trees along the track just south of the Lakeside Club. The three dead men had been on the FBI most-wanted list for the July 1930 Willmar Bank robbery. The Lakeside Club is still in business as a restaurant; the property has not yet been sold for development into a senior independent community. In the 1920's and 1930's, the Lakeside was known as the Hula Hut, a lively speakeasy that sold liquor during Prohibition. For the moment, its legacy lives on. If you missed this summer's tour, keep your eyes open for the trolley's return next summer and check with the Wildwood Library, which intends to make the trolley tour an annual event.

Tally’s Dockside owners get what they asked BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The request by Tally’s Dockside to expand its restaurant seating received affi rmation by the City Council June 13, but it was not unanimous. Councilman Dan Jones did not let the request go quietly into the night. He thought 125 seats on music nights was too big a jump from the restaurant’s original 12 allowed and felt the approval would set a bad precedent. Jones preferred to keep the number of seats to 63, which is what the owners requested for nonmusic nights. “I can’t support 125 seats; it’s too much,” Jones said, adding that trying to cram that many patrons in the space is like adding “10 pounds of sand to a 5 pound bag. “Just because it’s Tally’s, doesn’t mean they don’t have to conform,” Jones said. “If the VFW wants to double its seating or Acqua, would we allow that? There is no fi re code. What other businesses could do this?” Jones voted against the expansion, as did Councilman Steve Engstran. Engstran asked Dehnert, who stood for questions before the council, who would be responsible for security. Dehnert replied a “dedicated employee” will be monitoring number of patrons but he and his wife will be responsible for monitoring alcohol. The councilman asked for

better security to enforce the rules. When he went to Tally’s to observe the scene, Engstran also said he saw an employee urinate behind the port-a-potties and return to work without washing his hands. Dehnert said he was “shocked to hear that.” Jones asked Dehnert why he was doubling the seating on music nights; Tally’s owner answered, “the demand is there.” Jones then reminded council and those in the audience that the Dehnerts purchased Tally’s Dockside in 1992 with 12 seats. “That’s the business he bought, folks.” At a meeting with staff May 30, Tally’s owners agreed that seating on their boats must count towards the 125 seats allowed but only on music nights three days a week. Staff also asked that Tally’s be “mindful” of noise levels and conclude music by 9 p.m. There can be no alcohol served to people on the boats, nor can the city process an application to extend the liquor license since boats are considered the same as a motor vehicle. The condition does not restrict food service. Mayor Jo Emerson assured those attending the meeting that constraints on Tally’s applies to all businesses in the area. Since parking is the main issue on the waterfront, a shuttle will take people back and forth to Tally’s on music nights from the old Public Works site. There will be signs to direct vehicles. City Planner Anne Kane told council her department will be revisiting

Councilman Kevin Edberg said he would support the expansion but wants to make sure “standards are upheld in all areas of the Marina

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council conducted the following business at its June 13 meeting: • Approved a request by Meghan Master for a special home occupation permit for property at 2268 Sierra Drive. Master wants the permit to operate a beauty salon out of her home. A neighbor objected to the change, saying it would impact his backyard privacy. Council asked Master if she would use her front door for customer access instead of the back door, and she agreed. The salon will receive a one-year trial per the city's policy for all home-based businesses. Council also confi rmed that Master has no desire to put up a sign. Councilman Dan Jones said he couldn't support the permit if a sign was part of the deal. "I don't want a sign on that corner," Jones said. "It's a residential area. I can't support it with a sign being in play." Master said she had "no interest in a sign." • Approved use of Railroad Park for Special

Team Charities "Fed and Wed" event Sept. 9. Former White Bear fi refi ghter Jeff Loeks submitted a special event application for use of Railroad Park on behalf of Special Team Charities. Working with the food shelf, the charity intends to collect KidsPack items in a food shelf truck parked at the site from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Once the food truck is full, or around 6 p.m., Loeks and Racheal Haasken will get married in the gazebo. Each KidsPack contains two breakfast, two entree and four snack items. The packs are distributed to students in White Bear area schools who might otherwise go hungry over the weekend. • Heard a report from White Bear Lake Conservation District board member Mike Parenteau. He told council he plans to ask for a 10 percent reduction in the city's assessment at the next meeting. White Bear Lake funds the largest portion of the district's operating budget.

• Heard a quick update on the dog park from City Manager Ellen Richter. The city is getting many emails, both pro and con, she said. Staff is monitoring compliance on weekends and days and logging use. The park was off to a rough start, but seems to have gotten better, she said. The city is getting rope to mark the dog beach area. Councilman Bill Walsh said he hasn't seen a leash yet, despite signs that say leashes are required. That includes in the water. Richter added that "the city is doing everything it can to make this work." • Richter also updated the council on the request for proposals to select a new city attorney/fi rm due to Roger Jensen's retirement. The city received 11 proposals that were narrowed to four. Interviews are happening this week; the expectation is that a fi nalist will be chosen by the June 27 council meeting.

County Board approves additional sales tax for transit The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners voted last week to approve two actions that will advance transit and transportation projects in Ramsey County through a 1/4-cent sales tax increase. Beginning October 1, for every two dollars spent on most goods and services in Ramsey County, one penny will be collected for these identified priority improvements. "Today's actions provide dedicated long-term funding for transitways that will connect people with jobs and activities in Ramsey County and throughout the region," said Commissioner Jim McDonough. "Following the success of the METRO Green Line, this is a strong reinforcement of our commitment to continue development of our highest priority projects for the East Metro transit network: Gold Line and Rush Line Bus Rapid Transit and the Riverview Corridor." The board voted to approve the dissolution of the Counties Transit Improvement Board (CTIB). Since 2008, this joint powers board of Anoka, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington counties has collected a 1/4-cent (one penny per every four dollars spent) sales tax on most goods

in services and a $20 excise tax per vehicle. These revenues have been used to fund the regional system of transit, including the METRO Green and Blue light-rail lines as well as bus rapid transit, commuter rail and other transit improvements. The boards of each of the other member counties must also approve dissolution, and each are scheduled to vote within the next week. Pending dissolution, the current 1/4-cent sales tax and $20 excise tax will cease being collected by CTIB in September. Ramsey County the board voted to begin collection of a 1/2-cent sales tax and to maintain the $20 excise tax in Ramsey County. Under existing Minnesota law, counties that do not participate in CTIB may collect up to 1/2-cent sales tax for prioritized transportation improvements. This revenue will replace what has been collected by CTIB, as well as provide an offset for unreliable state matching funds towards transit projects.

Jo Emerson, mayor of White Bear Lake, was elected president of the League of Minnesota Cities for 20172018 last week. The election was held at the League’s Annual Conference in Rochester. Emerson was elected mayor in 2009, and is currently serving her second term with the city. She has also served as vice chairwoman of the White Bear Lake Planning Commission, president of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, the League of Minnesota Cities Executive Committee, the League of Minnesota Cities Personnel Committee, the League of Minnesota Cities Finance Committee, the League of Minnesota Cities Governance Committee and as president of Minnesota Mayor’s Association.

Alum will play baseball with Baltimore Orioles Mike Baumann was drafted on June 13 in the third round of the Major League Baseball Entry Draft. He was selected by the Baltimore Orioles at the 98th overall pick. Baumann graduated from Mahtomedi High School in 2014. On graduation day, he was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 34th round, but opted to attend Jacksonville University in Florida instead. The MLB Draft feels different this time. “The fi rst time, it was defi nitely a dream come true. That’s something you think about as a little kid.” It was a surreal moment,” he said. “I knew I was going off to JU. Now, I’m grateful for the relationships and experience that I’ve had at JU and feel ready to play at the next level.” Baumann had a terrific three-year run with the JU Dolphins. During his freshman season, Baumann worked his way into the starting rotation and after just a couple of games he was the team’s Ace pitching on Friday nights. Baumann had the fourth-most strikeouts and fi fth-most wins by a rookie in the NCAA that season. After his freshman season, he was named the ASUN conference pitcher of the year and freshman of the year, along with fi rst team all-conference and an impressive five freshman all-american accolades. Baumann continued to be the Friday night starter for the Dolphins in his fi nal two seasons. After his sophomore season, he had the opportunity to play in the Cape Cod Summer League for the YD Red Sox and helped them win the league championship, earning his fi rst title ring. During Baumann's junior season this past year, he helped lead the Dolphins to its fi rst ASUN regular season championship since 2006 and he ranked in the Top 10 in the conference in ERA, innings pitched, strikeouts, and fewest hits allowed and named to All-Conference second team. Baumann headed into this year’s draft as JU's career record holder for strikeouts (251) and tying the record for starts in a career (43) in just three seasons. Also, he has the fi fth-lowest career ERA (minimum 100 innings pitched) since 1991 and the lowest career opponent batting average against (minimum 100 innings pitched). Draft day was an emotional day for Mike and his family. “My dad (Tom Baumann) passed away my senior year in high school, but I know he was watching from above.” He and his brother Nick, remember their dad coming home from a business trip in Maryland and bringing them back a Baltimore Orioles baseball hat and t-shirt.

SUBMITTED

Now, nearly 15 years later, coincidentally the Orioles picked Mike, and Nick brought out of storage the same hat and t-shirt their Dad had given them. Nick told his Mom that he felt like Dad was working some magic up there. The family knew he was defi nitely with them that day. Baumann's 6-foot-5 frame and plus fastball had gotten plenty of attention this spring. He touched 95 mph consistently throughout his starts and has hit as high as 97 mph. He throws two breaking balls, a fringy curveball and a slider that fl ashes above-average. He mixes in a viable changeup as well. Prior to Jacksonville University, Baumann played for Coach John Hardgrove at Mahtomedi High School and helped lead Mahtomedi to a 24-3 record and the school’s fi rst ever appearance in the Class AAA state tournament. Since the draft, Baumann was on a flight five days later to Baltimore and looks forward to starting his professional career in the Orioles farm system. Submitted SUBMITTED

Zephyrs 6th at state baseball tourney after near-upset of top seed BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Mahtomedi baseball team in its fourth straight state tournament posted a modest 15-12 record but almost knocked off the unbeaten finalist in the first round last week. The Zephyrs took Waconia to extra innings and lost 2-1 in the ninth in the first round of Class 3A at Siebert Field, then split a pair of lopsided games in the consolation rounds and placed sixth. Their coach was pleased with the effort. “Succeeding at the game was truly important to the guys, and their commitment to their task was notable,” John Hardgove said. “Their team chemistry was vital, and I believe they enjoyed the ride. They always competed, once they put on the uniform, and that is the most a coach can ask for.” Waconia (25-0) squeezed past Marshall 7-6 in the semifinals and faced Hibbing on Monday in pursuit of its first state championship. When the Zephyrs faced Waconia, Hardgrove tapped freshman Leo Bustos to start, and the slender six-foot right-hander pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, allowing one run. “Leo performed as you would hope a seasoned pitcher would,” Hardgove said. “As a freshman, he commands the mound and competes with tremendous poise and confidence. He worked extremely hard to keep us in it, along with our defense and Carter Shook getting us out of that eighth inning jam.” Shook relieved in the eighth and got a strikeout with bases loaded, but had to pitch with the sacks full again in the ninth after two walks and a hit-by-pitch. With out out, Waseca’s Alex Logelin ripped a single up the middle to end it. “To beat a team of Waconia's caliber, it would take a near perfect game, and our kids were pretty solid in a tension-packed environment,” Hardgrove assessed. “They (Waconia) had the last shot at it and delivered.” Mahtomedi scored in the first as Jamie Berg doubled, got bunted to third and came home on a single by catcher Charlie Bartholemew, who had three of the

Zephyrs’ six hits and thew out three baserunners. Waconia’s Dillon Whittaker and reliever Ethan Swanson blanked them after that, helped by center fielder Jack Stoddard’s diving catch of Lincoln Rock’s line drive in the third with runners at second and third in the fourth inning. “We did miss a couple of opportunities,” Hardgrove reflected. “We had a great swing by Lincoln that could have moved the score to 3-0 (but) their CF made the diving catch.” A double by Waconia’s Austin Friedrich and single by Jacob Hendricks tied the score in the fourth. Two double plays helped Mahtomedi extend the suspense. One resulted from a Waconia runner leaving third base too early to score on a fly ball; the Zephyrs took notice and threw him out at third. The other was

a slick 3-6-3 twin-killing from first baseman Austin Jeryloi to shortstop Evan Reyes back to Jerylo. All told, an excellent state tournament ballgame to be involved in. Mahtomedi drubbed Red Wing 12-1 on Friday with 11 hits, nine walks and four hit-by-pitches. Rock was 3-for-5 and knocked in three runs, Berg slapped a tworun double, and Reyes a two-run single. Jack Schweitz pitched the distance, allowing a run on six hits with six strikeouts. It went the other way in the consolation finals. The Zephyrs were pummeled by St. Thomas Academy 9-1, getting just three hits against Duke Coburn. Grant Taival took the loss (five innings, eight runs). Sam Lapadat had two of the three hits and finished 5-for-9 at state.

Remembering rousing achievements in 2016-2017 Bear sports BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

In a mediocre sports year for White Bear Lake, the high points of 2016-17 included a dramatic shot that earned a state basketball trip, a nice state medal harvest by the Townley siblings, and a hockey upset of a top-ranked team. While fifteen of twenty-six teams won more than they lost, none had a great season and there was just one conference title, by boys lacrosse, which tied Park for first place. In section competition, where the field is weaker than in conference for almost every sport, the Bears had four titles, all by girls teams: cross country, basketball, track and golf. The girls basketball team, coached by Jeremy Post, beat East Ridge 52-49 in overtime in the Section 4AA finals, taking the lead on Alexa Molin’s dagger from three-point range with 18 seconds left. The Bears gave unbeaten state champion Elk River a stern test at state, losing 52-44. They finished 20-11 with a scrappy, balanced lineup led by Jordan Ferrand and Molin averaging about 10 points each. Senior swimmer Abe Townley became the Bears’ first all-stater in that sport with a third-place finish in the 50 yard freestyle at state along with eighth place in the 100 freestyle. His sophomore sister Erika sparkled in track, placing third in the 300 hurdles and eighth in the 100 hurdles at state and anchoring a fifth-place mile relay. Bear goys hockey’s 14-8-4 season included one super Saturday at mid-season when they handed top-ranked Stillwater its first loss 2-1 on goals by Zac Cadalbert and Max Jennrich and 28 saves by Bob Parenteau. Stillwater paid them back 4-1 later to wrap up the conference crown. A very deep girls track team, coached by Richard Samuelson and led by the versatile duo of Townley and senior Maddie Williams, won Section 4AA in both true-team and the regular MSHSL meet. The girls cross country team, coached

by Patty Percival, with no stars but formidable balance, won the section and placed 12th at state, led by Keely Nistler in 73rd place. The Bear girls golf team, coached by Betsy Larey, played its best two rounds of the season — in fact, probably best two ever — to emerge a surprise champion at sectionals, earning the program's first-ever state trip, then took eighth of eight teams at state with its best player on a school trip in Europe. Also notable for the Bears in 2016-17: • Jessiah Majest, on a football team that went 0-9 this year and 1-8 last year, pounded for just over 2,000 yards rushing, going over that marker when the Bears almost upset top-seeded Rosemount in the playoff opener, losing 28-21. • Boys cross country also qualified for state as a section runner-up and placed 16th. • Bear girls hockey, led by sophomore Sydney Shearen (25 goals) and junior goalie Calla Frank (1.5 goals-against), reached the section finals (losing to Hill-Murray 4-1) and finished 17-11.

• Kyle Preslaski was the prolific scorer on the Bears conference co-champ lacrosse team with 38 goals and 12 assists. • Jack Rogowski, Bear senior pitcher, kept a struggling (8-16) baseball in every game he pitched and earned a spot in the state all-star series.

Drama to the end as Zephyrs reach state semifinals and finish 4th BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Mahtomedi boys lacrosse team pulled out one more heart-stopping victory before finally falling, twice, in the same dramatic fashion, at the state tournament last week. The Mahtomedi Zephyrs had been 6-0 in games decided by one or two goals — including a 13-12 conquest of Prior Lake in the state opener on two goals in the last 53 seconds —heading into the state semifinals. Then the worm turned the other way with overtime losses to Eagan 12-11 in the state semifinals and to Wayzata 9-8 in the third-place game, after leading by three goals in each case. Coach Pete Moosbrugger’s Zephyrs finished this soaring season 16-3 with fourth place in the state. Not bad for a team that was mostly JV last year when a senior-rich team reached state and lost in the first round. “Most people didn't think we were going to accomplish much this year because of all the seniors we lost,” said Lucas Honebrink, senior captain who was second-team all-state as a sophomore, missed most of last

season with an injury, and became a Mr. Lacross finalist this year. Top-seeded Eagan, after its harrowing win over Mahtomedi, had an easier time in the finals, beating Benilde-St. Margaret’s 19-12 to wrap up the crown with an 18-1 ledger. The Zephyrs, coming off an overtime 13-12 win over Tartan in the section finals when they scored the last three goals of the game in a two-minute span, showed the same never-say-die spirit in the state opener. They dethroned the defending champs, Prior Lake, on goals Ryan Pilla with 53 seconds left and Ben Putney with 20 seconds left, on Tuesday, June 13, at Chanhassen, allowing their coach to finally exhale. “My first reaction was, tremendous pride in the kids for all the work they’ve put in, paying off,” said Moosbrugger, “and second reaction, 30 seconds later, was: We need time to recover! These kids are gassed, and we’ve got another game (in two days).” Honebrink keyed yet another close win with his prowess in getting his team the ball in almost every face-off. “We turn to Lucas. Because of what he does, we can make runs,”

said Moosbrugger, hearkening to his team’s ability to go right back on offense after scoring. In the two overtime defeats, the players delivering the decisive goal were Cole Powell for Eagan and Brayden Nelson for Wayzata, on Thursday and Saturday at Minnetonka. Pilla, a sophomore, was the breakout player of the state tourney for the Zephyrs with four goals in each of the first two games and one more in the third-place game for a total of nine, giving him 26 for the season. Timmy Lindquist, the season leader with 47 goals, was held to three in the tournament — one of them with 35 seconds left against Eagan to force overtime. Josh Campbell was second on the team with 21 goals after hitting five at state. Connor Stoker also had five, Putney three, and Joey Rohrer and Honebrink two each, while Neal Dardis, Colin Hagstrom and Nate Graslewicz got on the board with one each. Goalie Ian Kegley stopped six of 18 shots against Prior Lake, seven of 19 against Eagan and 13 of 24 against Wayzata.

Local studio offers roads to wellness BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR

STILLWATER — Visiting downtown on a Saturday morning this summer, you may notice a group of people in Lowell Park who move in sync as they practice the ancient Chinese martial art of tai chi. Like yoga, this graceful, dance-like art can help improve physical and psychological health. In China, it is common to see groups of people perform tai chi together in public spaces before going about their day. “What a great way to start the day,” said Aimee Van Ostrand, tai chi instructor and owner of Healing Within Acupuncture. “They connect with each other, they move their bodies, they get this exercise, they're outside. Everybody knows this form because they learn it when they're little. It's beautiful, and then they all disperse, they go to work, they go to school, they do their thing … as opposed to us, where we down a couple cups of coffee and sit in traffic. That difference is huge, as far as your health (is concerned). We have this vision of just having a hundred people practicing tai chi by the river because it is a great way to start the day.” Tai chi by the river started last summer, when Van Ostrand brought one of her classes to practice outside. The group continued to meet on Saturday mornings throughout the summer. The outdoor sessions aren't instructional lessons, but Van Ostrand leads the group in rehearsing the movements of the Yang-style short form. Practicing near the river is a challenge in itself — tai chi is a meditative activity, and Lowell Park is a busy and distracting environment. The outdoor practice can help stimulate an even deeper level of focus. “When you're indoors, the environment is completely controlled, so it's easy to get into that meditative state,” Van Ostrand said. “But it's a different level of meditation when you're out by the river where there's so many things that can distract you.” Healing Within Acupuncture recently moved from its downtown location on Second Street to a South Hill location on Fourth Street, across from Meister's Bar

and Grill. Though she enjoyed the historic character of the Second Street space, Van Ostrand said the move will make it easier for all of her patients. “I have patients with walkers, wheelchairs … to be handicapped accessible is a huge thing,” she said. Van Ostrand describes Healing Within as not so much of a clinic as a “wellness studio,” since in addition to acupuncture treatment it offers instructive activities such as tai chi and yoga. Van Ostrand has lived in White Bear Lake with her family for more than 20 years. When her kids became more independent, she began thinking about going back to school and was encouraged by her own acupuncturist, Andy Leininger, to study Oriental medicine. He continued to support her in her journey, and once she graduated they worked together doing community acupuncture for HealthEast in downtown St. Paul. Before she opened up Healing Within in Stillwater two and a half years ago, she worked out of the Drishti Yoga studio in downtown White Bear Lake. She still works there two days a week, but spends most her time at the studio in Stillwater. It was Marilyn Calver of Compass Health who enticed Van Ostrand to make the move to Stillwater when she learned that Van Ostrand was one of only a few studios offering community acupuncture. The community acupuncture model

started in Portland, Oregon a few years ago, Van Ostrand said. Not all insurance covers acupuncture treatment, or it might limit the number of visits patients are able to make. The group-style treatment is designed to give regular treatments on a sliding pay scale so that people with chronic pain, or who use acupuncture for health maintenance, can have regular sessions at a more affordable rate. “People pay what they can afford, and they can come in as often as they need to,” Van Ostrand said. “Because I treat in a group setting, it makes it sustainable for me, because I can see multiple people in a given hour, and that's what makes it accessible.” The new space also has two private treatment rooms, if community acupuncture is not the best option. Van Ostrand works closely with Calver, who will teach yoga classes at the new location. Calver assists Healing Within with its many patients who are veterans and people who struggle with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Calver teaches yoga and meditation, while Van Ostrand handles acupuncture and another colleague offers tai chi instruction. These services are available by donation only to veterans. “Our idea is to be able to give them different options in what might work for them,” Van Ostrand said. “One thing

that might work for one person might not work for another person. Post-traumatic stress is such a complex condition that you have to go at it from different angles. So to have those in one place … I think it's very beneficial, because when you're dealing with extreme anxiety, sometimes to have to go to another place produces more stress. So if they're already used to coming to that space for acupuncture, it's a lot easier to come to that same space for some sort of movement or meditation as well.” Since some patients have limited mobility, classes are also designed to serve clients of varying ability levels, including a seated tai chi option if standing is difficult. “The thing is to find a practice that resonates with you,” Van Ostrand said. “If you get to do something, it's very different than when you have to do something. This is a practice you need to do for the rest of your life. It's not something you do until you feel better. It's not like you learn tai chi and then go back and sit and watch TV. Learning the form is just the beginning of it, and then you practice it the rest of your life. In that practice is where the health benefit is.” Summer tai chi classes take place in Lowell Park at 9 a.m. on Saturdays and are free and open to all. “I've had people who just come in and just follow along — (they) have no experience with tai chi at all,” Van Ostrand said. “The nice thing about tai chi is you don't have to have special clothes. Come as you are. Technically you're supposed to do it barefoot and get your feet on the earth — you don't need any other special equipment. It's very mobile; you can just do it anywhere.” The group also hangs out at the Daily Grind afterward to discuss and socialize. Van Ostrand will offer another instructional tai chi class this fall, and she also teaches tai chi classes at the White Bear Center for the Arts.

My birthday falls during Manitou Days

50 years great and proud

In 50 more years Manitou days will have been around for 100 years. When the theme is 100 years of fun in the sun, I think the celebrations will be very fun. They will be getting every resident out of their homes and having fun in the sun. There will be mobs of kids collecting lots of tasty candy during parades. We will see waves of people out in boats, having picnics in the parks, hanging out with family, and you can’t forget people flocking to Cup and Cone (now 94 years old!) for an afternoon snack. The parade will have more floats than ever before. We will see great big bears, loud marching bands and the lights and sirens of police cars and fire trucks. At Marketfest, we will see some cool products we never knew existed, such as a pair of earrings that doubles as a speaker. There will be the great scent coming from the food trucks, holding foods that are a delicacy today but are easy and cheap to cook then, such as beef wellington. We will see the kids climbing, jumping and doing more activities, such as skydiving. Some of the residents will be searching for the medallion, visiting parts of the city they have never been to. Manitou Days brings the whole city together — the families, the elders and the singles — to a bunch of fun community events. At all the events we are saying hi to all the friends we see around. There are always happy faces around at Manitou Days. There is something for everyone throughout the summer —parades, Marketfest, medallion hunt, and even more amazing activities. I can’t wait until all the activities are bigger, better and more amazing than ever before. Coming in 50 years: 100 years of fun in the sun!

Manitou Days is a super fun celebration that White Bear Lake uses to celebrate summer happenings. The celebration always falls over my birthday, which is June 24. Two years ago, I remember going on a boat with my aunt and uncle on White Bear Lake to see the fireworks, which were super spectacular! I like Manitou Days because it’s a White Bear Lake traditional celebration and it makes me feel super happy. Manitou Days isn't my exact favorite holiday but it’s pretty close. I love writing lots of stories because I have nice handwriting. Gretchen Leder is a second-grader at Matoska International Elementary.

One year later, buried church rises from tomb of debt BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

ARDEN HILLS — About a year after North Heights Lutheran Church briefly closed its doors due to fi nancial issues and disagreements, the church has completely paid off its mortgage and hired a new senior pastor it believes will bring continuing unity. “One of the things that we feel is that the future will be greater than the past,” said Rev. Morris Vaagenes of Shoreview, who was the senior pastor of the church from 1961 to 1999. Vaagenes described what the church went through in recent years in Biblical terms. “We had to go through a crucifi xion — the death of the old — in order to receive the new,” he said. “There can be no resurrection without crucifi xion.” Vaagenes said it’s the fi rst time he has seen the church with no debt in about 50 years. The mortgage has been around since he started in the ‘60s, and the second campus built in Arden Hills in 1986 added millions of dollars to it. The mortgage was paid off this May. About a year ago, the church was in such dire fi nancial straits that under the leadership of a former interim senior pastor it took out a line of credit, Vaagenes said. That also has now been paid off. Church members were just generous; there was no special fund drive, he noted. The church also sold a house it owned to pay off the mortgage, according to council meeting notes. “What a difference a year can make in the life of an individual or a church body,” said John Oldfield, church council president. “In March 2016, metro area newspapers reported the death of ‘megachurch’ North Heights Lutheran Church. These articles recounted serious fi nancial problems and internal dissent. With problems unresolved and fi nances crumbling, it was announced the church was closing.” The unexpected closure of the Roseville campus by former leadership in the summer of 2015 proved to be contentious; some parishioners began meeting offsite at a hotel rather than joining the remaining congregation at the Arden Hills campus. When the Arden Hills campus closed less than a year later in March 2016, the hotel group gave funds to prevent the entire church from going into bankruptcy. A mediator also assisted the church council in appointing a new council. “Within two weeks of closing, North Heights

T.J. Anderson will be the new senior pastor at North Heights Lutheran Church.

Lutheran Church was resurrected,” Oldfield noted. “With a change in leadership, worship services, Sunday School, weeknight family activities and outreaches at both the Arden Hills and Roseville sites have been restored. New ministries, including one for Latinos, have been added.” The church’s school, preschool and dance academy are also stable and growing, according to council notes. The church has been led by Vaagenes and two other longtime pastors over the past year while it has searched for a new senior pastor.

New pastor: ‘It is clear that a church that was dead is now alive’ T.J. Anderson was called in May and began his tenure this month. He most recently was a senior pastor at a three-campus Lutheran church in Columbus, Ohio, but grew up in the northeast Twin Cities metro area. His childhood was spent in White Bear Lake and he graduated from Mahtomedi High School in 1977 after his family returned to the area from a previous move to Alabama. He and his wife Susie have been in church ministry for over 30 years, he said. He has served at eight other churches, including St. Andrew’s Lutheran in Mahtomedi and Trinity Lutheran in Stillwater. He has been familiar with North Heights for a long time, he said, and its ministry has impacted his own. Vaagenes and another former senior pastor Bob Cottingham were mentors of his. “I really believe in what North Heights is all

about and their vision to impact this community in a positive way,” Anderson said. “We just felt like it would be a great fit.” Anderson also has a passion for world missions, which is a value held by North Heights members. The missions budget has been increased since its fi nancial issues were resolved, Oldfield noted. “The big thing is God is not done with North Heights — its purpose for being a light and an encouragement to the world in the name of Jesus,” Anderson said. “It is clear that a church that was dead is now alive. The resurrection always comes with a purpose. We are to bring light and life to this community.” The Andersons will live in Blaine. They also have a daughter and son-in-law, Brittany and Matt, in the area. Matt works at a computer shop in White Bear Lake. The church’s call committee reviewed 43 applications over the last six months and conducted interviews for seven applicants. The committee and council invited Anderson to preach in April and held a special meeting shortly thereafter, where a great majority of the attendees voted to hire him as senior pastor. The church has not had a senior pastor since 2014. “I couldn’t be more excited about being here,” Anderson said. “It is a new day.” “We are getting poised for what we believe will be major growth of the church spiritually and numerically,” Vaagenes said. Some of the congregation left during the issues, he said. Average attendance has been about 1,000. Membership was upwards of 7,000 about a decade ago. The church holds a service 9 a.m. Sundays at its Roseville campus and 10 a.m. Sundays at its Arden Hills campus. Anderson was installed and gave his fi rst sermon as senior pastor at a joint service held June 11. Anderson will alternate between the two campuses in the future to maintain unity between the campuses, Vaagenes noted. In the past, the senior pastor has mostly preached at the Arden Hills campus. Vaagenes and the two other pastors will continue to deliver messages as well. Both he and Oldfield noted they want to thank other church congregations that prayed for them. “For your support, we owe you a debt that we cannot repay,” Oldfield said.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS White Bear Lake receives excellence award The city of White Bear Lake was recognized with a League of Minnesota Cities 2017 City of Excellence Award for its Washington Square Waste Consolidation Project. The city’s initiative, centered around a shared recycling and organics collection program, was the winner of this year’s 20,000-plus population category at the League’s annual conference earlier this month. The Washington Square project developed a successful shared recycling and organics collection program in downtown White Bear Lake. The city was awarded a $97,000 Ramsey County Public Entity Innovation Grant that funded a shared enclo-

sure on a city parking lot. Ramsey and Washington County’s BizRecycling program provided grants for the businesses to purchase necessary supplies to set up programs internally. To compete for consideration as a City of Excellence, cities self-nominate a project, program or initiative.

Grant program announces information meetings Information meetings about the Community Partners Grants Fund are scheduled for June 21 and July 11. Sponsored by the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation, the meetings provide opportunities for local projects and programs to learn more about funding oppor-

tunities as well as the foundation’s new online application process. The foundation plans to award up to $32,000 in grants that, in general, will range between $1,000 to $5,000. The June meeting will be 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. at White Bear Country Inn; the July meeting will be 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Wildwood Library in Mahtomedi.

“47 METERS DOWN” (PG-13) [SEQUENCES OF INTENSE PERIL, BLOODY IMAGES AND BRIEF STRONG LANGUAGE.]

— When two sisters (Mandy Moore and Clair Holt) foolishly accept an invitation by two men (Yani Gellman and Santiago Segura) they just met the night before to go scuba diving and to see great white sharks up close during their vacation to Mexico in this disappointing, love-or-skip-it, unevenly paced, tepid, low-budget, 89-minute thriller with a lackluster soundtrack and reminiscent of the superior film “The Shallows,” the adventure quickly goes from bad to worse after they board a rust-bucket boat owned by a well-meaning captain (Matthew Modine) and then get into a questionable, supposedly protective cage.

After a three-week dry spell, shower activity picked up a bit, with 1.08 inches falling between June 11-18. The little over an inch is what we would expect this time of year and hope to get to keep lawns green. Temperatures took a break this past week as did humidity levels, as cooler and drier Canadian air moved in. The weekend proved to be nice with Sunday barely making it into the 70`s.

— A low-key, quirky, humorous, star-dotted (Colin Hanks, Jamie Chung, Jesse Wesley Williams, Brooklyn Decker, Chris D’Ella, Retta, Susie Essman, Ravi Patel, Erinn Hayes, Hannah Simone and Angelique Cabral), 91-minute comedy in which a frustrated, long-married California Uber driver (Zoe Lister-Jones) decides to compose songs with her lazy husband (Adam Pally) about their contentious relationship and their continual fighting, and start a band called Dirty Dishes with their oddball, sex-addict, drum-playing next door neighbor (Fred Armisen).

— When a troubled, animal-loving, psychic healing Mexican masseuse (Salma Hayek) unexpectedly gets invited to stay for dinner with other guests (Jay Duplass, Chloë Sevigny and Amy Landecker) at an elegant party at the posh seaside mansion of her clients (Connie Britton and David Warshofsky) after her car breaks down in their driveway in this thought-provoking, well-acted, unusual, unpredictable, 83-minute film, the atmosphere becomes electric and intense as she finds herself becoming more and more agitated as she realizes that she knows one of the guests as a brash, arrogant, unapologetic hotel mogul (John Lithgow) and ruthless real estate developer.

Alum develops new social media app 14-friend app keeps people productive sponse to social media apps is similar to its response to drugs, alcohol, and junk food — a quick fix that makes people want to repeat the activity, even if it is detrimental to their overall productivity, self-esteem and well-being, they noted. “All new technologies have unforeseen consequences,” Sweeney said. “But the negatives are always followed by positive corrections. Azha is a positive correction in the social network space.” The cousins developed the new app because they believe thousands of hours of beneficial, real-life activities are being replaced with mindless scrolling through updates, images, videos, and ads on social media apps. The cousins hope to start a new trend that focuses on quality relationships and productive behaviors. Friends share their to-do lists with each other and keep each other accountable. Friends can also send tasks to each other. “It feels good to build a social app that makes people more productive and more connected at the same time. Instead of designing Azha to maximize the amount of time users spend in the app, the number of ads they click on, or the number of friends they have, we’re going to maximize the number of tasks they complete,” Buhl said. Azha has a feed, but it’s not a typical feed. It’s a task feed filled with friends’ completed tasks. Friends can like and comment on each others’ tasks to provide encouragement and reinforce productive behaviors, or toggle into instant messaging mode to chat privately.

A White Bear Lake Area High School alum developed a new social media app that is built around a to-do list and calendar — and is limited to 14 friends. Justin Buhl, 23, a 2012 grad who grew up in Vadnais Heights, started the app “Azha” with his cousin Joe Sweeney, 35, who grew up in southern Minnesota. The app is meant to keep people from wasting time like other social media apps can tend to do, CEO Sweeney explained. Buhl is the app's chief technology officer. He attended the University of Minnesota to study chemical engineering and computer science but dropped out half way through to join Sweeney in the Silicon Valley to build the app in 2016. Buhl was a National Merit Scholar winner in 2011 and was one of about 50 students in the state to be admitted to an advanced math program at the U of M as a high school freshman. “I've never seen someone learn to program as fast as Justin does,” Sweeney said. “He's like a machine with artificial intelligence.” The purpose of the app is to help people be productive and offer an alternative to other addictive social media apps. Social media addiction is an epidemic, the cousins noted. According to recent studies, the result of social media “attention engineering” is that the average adult now spends five hours a day on their phone. The average student spends nine hours. That’s 135 days of every year spent on a phone. Studies also show that the brain's dopamine re-

Justin Buhl, left, a White Bear Lake Area High School grad, joined his cousin Joe Sweeney in California to develop a new type of social media app.

Because users are limited to just 14 friends, there will be fewer notifications, which increases the meaning of each “like.” A camera icon also appears when a task is checked off so users can snap a photo of what they’ve just completed, which posts to the feed. User profiles also include productivity charts and graphs to help people track their habits and identify trends and patterns. Azha is now available in the iPhone app store.

can be helpful and prevent overspending. According to Visually, a marketing information service, nearly half of the homeowners surveyed said the cost of their renovation projects did not exceed their budgets. However, more than onethird of those surveyed reported going over budget on their projects. To keep costs down, consider hiring a contractor. He or she will have industry contacts and may be able to get materials at a lower cost. While you will pay for labor, working with a contractor greatly reduces both the time spent on the project and the risk of costly mistakes being made. In addition, think about the way you ﬁnance the renovations. Industry experts have found that homeowners who ﬁnance their home improvement projects with lines of credit end up spending more money on average than those who use their savings to fund projects. While it may be tempting to take out a line of credit for a home improvement project, spending only money you already have may be the more responsible route to take

‘Lifting the cloud’ of diabetes with a special dog BY TOM STANGL COUNTRY MESSENGER PUBLISHER

Since her diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes in 1989, Madyi Stangl has felt that the disease has “placed a cloud” on her life — limiting her ability to travel and live life. But that cloud has lifted for the Minneapolis resident, thanks to a special golden retriever named Willy. Willy is a diabetes assistance dog that was given to Stangl by Can Do Canines, a New Hope-based nonprofit that trains dogs to help people who live with diabetes, autism, seizures, hearing loss and mobility issues. Madyi and Willy “graduated” in a class of 14 on June 10. Willy was named by Wilma Audrey Loken, who donated money to Can Do Canines. She died before Willy graduated, but her two daughters, their husbands and her son attended the graduation ceremony. One daughter, Beth Brostrom, and her husband are members of the White Bear Lions Club. Willy can detect changes in Stangl’s blood sugar levels by scent. He alerts Madyi to high or low blood sugar levels by touching her with his paw. If she doesn’t respond, he will whine or whimper and eventually do whatever he needs to do to get her attention. He is trained to bring glucose tablets or even a cell phone to Stangl. Recently, Stangl had a “scary” low of 36 during the night. When she failed to respond to Willy’s touches, he laid over her body until she woke up, checked her blood sugar levels and ate food to bring her levels back up to normal. Can Do Canines has produced nearly 600 teams of dogs and their human companions since opening in 1989, according to Sarah Schaff,

client services coordinator. The organization can give away the dogs, which are sold by other organizations for $20,000 or more, because of volunteers and many donors, Schaff says. Funding comes from donations from individuals, companies and grants. Schaff reports that the organization does not receive any state or federal funds, relying solely on donations, fundraisers and bequests.

therapeutic benefits for the inmate handlers as well. The organization has a screening process to fi nd suitable candidates to match with dogs that are in the system or are in training. It takes two years to raise and train a dog to be an assistance animal, Schaff said. Madyi works as the operations lead for the University of Minnesota Physicians and Willy accompanies her to work. He alerted a diabetic co-worker of Stangl to a low blood sugar level. Stangl grew up with dogs and reports that having Willy around is like “having a big security blanket that I carry with me all the time.” She is now more confident as well. “Even though I’m going to continue on as this girl with this physical reminder of my disability, I’m a little prouder because I’m able to shed light on diabetes. Diabetes is an invisible illness, something that needs to be seen because it’s not something to be taken lightly,” she said. Even though Willy is a beautiful and friendly dog, Stangl asks that people refrain from touching him or any other assistance dog without permission of the owner. “When we are out in public and Willy is wearing his vest, it’s important not to make eye contact or distract him,” Stangl says. “He is working for me, and if he gets distracted, he stops working, and that could be dangerous.” Schaff says that Can Do Canines is in need of volunteers to raise and train Labrador, collie and poodle puppies for two years and return them to the company for further training.

Something residents may not know about the White Bear Lake Fire Chief: He is fluent in sign language. Both of Tim Vadnais’ parents were deaf so the family communicated through sign language. At times, the chief is called to the lobby of the Public Safety building if a deaf person walks in who needs assistance. That handy interpretive service will be coming to an end, however, as Vadnais is retiring after almost 43 years with the fire department. His last day is Dec. 30. The chief’s stories are many. Those that stuck start with the most horrific: “Probably the small plane that crashed on Price Field behind Central early in my career. There were body parts everywhere and I’ll never forget the smell of aviation gas. The plane’s wing landed in the back yard of a house.” To one down memory lane: A 40-something woman who walked into his office one day with her son. She told the chief: “You don’t remember me, but you were the guy who delivered me on the Lafayette Bridge.” To one of which he’s most proud: A statistic that marks zero fire deaths since 1986. “Up until 1985, we averaged a fire death every 18 months,” Vadnais said. “Then I attended the executive fire officer course in Maryland. I had just become chief (in 1988) and was totally green.” SEE FIRE CHIEF RETIRING, PAGE 8A

Back in court: DNR appeals, judge recommends mediation in lake lawsuit BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — Both sides in the lake level lawsuit may once again be headed for mediation at the suggestion of the district judge handling the case. White Bear Lake City Attorney Roger Jensen said the city would certainly participate "if there is likelihood the matter could be resolved." The city is an intervenor on the side of the defendant, the Department of Natural Resources. "We would much rather get this case settled than spend a month in trial," he noted. As the March trial date approaches, Judge Margaret Marrinan recommended mediation between parties with retired Justice James Gilbert, the same

arbitrator who helped orchestrate the three-year stay. That settlement, of course, failed this year for lack of legislative action. An attorney for the plaintiff, the White Bear Lake Restoration Association (WBLRA), has contacted Gilbert and is waiting to see if he has time on his calendar. It is not uncommon for a judge to recommend mediation, according to Katie Crosby Lehmann, a managing partner with Ciresi Conlin LLP, the ﬁrm co-representing the WBLRA. Marrinan advised the parties to talk during a hearing Dec. 2 in her Ramsey County courtroom. Her suggestion followed oral arguments regarding a DNR motion appealing the judge's allowance of an

‘Amazing Grace’ for 3 Mounds View High School girls BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

ARDEN HILLS — “Stronger than the power of the grave, constant through the trial and the change, one thing remains, one thing remains: Your love never fails…” sang Mounds View High School students at a vigil Dec. 1 for two students killed in a car crash that morning, and one who remained in the hospital. The vigil, organized by students, included the song, “One Thing Remains,” by Bethel Music, “Amazing Grace,” “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and “When

You’re Gone,” by Avril Lavigne, among others. Principal Jeff Ridlehoover spoke brieﬂy to the community gathering of about 200 people gathered to pay tribute to the lives of Bridget Giere and Stephanie Carlson, both juniors, and give hope for the recovery of Sammy Redden. “Sometimes tragedy and sadness prompt love and togetherness,” he said. Students were encouraged to wear blue at school the next day, a favorite color of the girls, a student representative said. Students were also encouraged to write messages on paper stretched on the walls to the two

girls who died. “Once a Mustang, always a Mustang,” said the student representative. Students also wrote messages to the fellow student, also a junior, who remains hospitalized. “Sammy, your whole school is here for you, keep ﬁghting,” wrote one student in pink marker. “Bridget, you were such a beautiful soul and you will truly be missed,” wrote another student. “Stephanie, your soul of sunshine will be treasured

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Though it’s been nearly a century since F. Scott Fitzgerald spent the summers of his youth on the shores of White Bear Lake, his brief presence made a lasting impression on the community. The White Bear Center for the Arts hosted the third class in its series “How to Write Like F. Scott Fitzgerald” last week. Taught by local historian and writer Mary Jane LaVigne, the class focuses on the life, history and fiction of the famous writer, focusing particularly on his connection to White Bear Lake, where he vacationed as an adolescent and briefly resided as an adult. Selected for discussion was Fitzgerald’s 1928 short story “The Captured Shadow,” written while Fitzgerald was living in Paris, but set in his boyhood neighborhood in St. Paul. The semi-autobiographical story features Basil Duke Lee, a character Fitzgerald has depicted in a number of stories that closely follow his own experiences while growing up. When Fitzgerald was a student, he wrote a play called “The Captured Shadow,” in which he starred as The Shadow, which was performed at Mrs. Backus’ School for Girls in St. Paul, according to “The St. Paul Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald.” The short story of the same name tells a fictionalized account of bringing that production to life, with the help of neighborhood friends — and even a few enemies. “Basil Duke Lee is struggling with what many teenagers struggle with: his place in the world,” LaVigne said. “How does his own personal vision interact with the people he knows? How can he be sure of himself and not conceited?” While some of Fitzgerald’s other plays connect more directly to the White Bear Lake community, LaVigne said she chose this story because the White Bear Yacht Club served as one of the venues where some of Fitzgerald’s first productions were performed. “‘The Captured Shadow’ doesn’t really have any direct White Bear connection in the story itself, but the reason I chose it and wanted to highlight the White Bear connection was that ‘The Captured Shadow’ is actually a play that Fitzgerald wrote and put on with his friends,” LaVigne said. “And one of the places they performed plays was at the White Bear Yacht Club.”While there is no direct evidence that this particular play was ever performed at the Yacht Club, other plays he wrote around the same time, such as “The Coward,” were well documented by local papers. Later, Fitzgerald resided briefly at the club, writing the short story “Winter Dreams” while he lived there in 1922, before leaving the community for good.

Meet Stillwater prison’s new warden BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

BAYPORT — Warden Eddie Miles, a month into his new job at Minnesota Correctional Facility – Stillwater, walks the halls of the close security prison, greeting guards and shaking hands with prison employees he meets along the way. Miles steps into a long line of

Stillwater wardens, stretching back to 1853, when Stillwater opened its ﬁrst territorial prison, north of the current prison. The newer facility, now located in Bayport, was constructed in 1914, and appears much like the classic brick prisons featured in Hollywood ﬁlms. The facility houses approximately 1,600 offenders, making it the state’s largest close security institution for adult male felons, according to the

Stillwater Correctional Facility – Stillwater.

Department of Corrections. This is not Miles’ first experience at the historic Stillwater Prison — he is a veteran employee of the Minnesota correctional system, with a varied career at several state prisons. He has worked as a correctional officer, special investigator and assistant commissioner, in addition to serving as warden at the Lino Lakes, St. Cloud and Faribault facilities. Originally from Miami, Miles came to the University of Minnesota on a football scholarship. He said he entered the university with the idea that he eventually wanted to become a prison warden. Once, he attended a sociology night class where an employee at the Lino Lakes prison substituted for the usual professor. She asked all the students what they wanted to become, and when he responded that he wanted to be a prison warden, she said, “I know someone you would like to meet.” She introduced Miles to the Lino Lakes warden at the time, and in college he began working at the Lino Lakes correctional facility as an unofficial intern, helping out with activities throughout his academic career. When he graduated, he began working full time as an officer at Lino Lakes.

Jules Benson, team organizer for ACT on Alzheimer’s in Forest Lake, introduces the video series.

Forest Lake releases ACT on Alzheimer’s video series BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

FOREST LAKE — Last week, the city of Forest Lake website posted a new web video series created by the local group ACT on Alzheimer’s, as a tool to help educate the community about the challenges associated with dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is deﬁned by Alzheimer’s Association of America as “a progressive, degenerative disorder that attacks the brain’s nerve cells, or neurons, resulting in loss of memory, thinking and language skills, and behavioral changes.”

The disease typically affects older adults, and in 2016, it is estimated that 5.4 million adults are currently living with the disease. The causes of the disease are not fully understood, and there is no known cure. ACT on Alzheimer’s works to ﬁght the stigma and create understanding about dementia. Though the organization has a statewide presence, a nine-member committee composed of local residents and business owners is tackling the topic at a local level in Forest Lake.

firsthand, is the team leader of the Forest Lake ACT on Alzheimer’s group. “Every disease is horrible,” she said. “(But dementia) is the only thing that will take your essence. Personally I want to see it gone. I can’t make it go away, but I can try to make your life a little bit easier, and make the world around you a little more accepting.” The object of the videos and the education initiatives is to make Forest Lake a dementia-friendly community, Benson said. According to Benson, ACT on Alzheimer’s became active in Forest Lake in 2013, when it was chosen as one of the first seven pilot projects in the state. Now there are 37 communities embracing dementia initiatives across Minnesota. “With the pilot project, we formed a committee and collected data,” Benson said. “We interviewed people in the area — the clerk at the bank, the checkout person at Cub Foods, the mailman — to find out what they knew about dementia.

Mayor’s dog on trial LEXINGTON-City Council members decided to use a neutral mediator in dog bite allegations against Mayor Mark Kurth’s dog. A mail carrier filed a police report claiming Kurth’s dog, a corgi named Daisy, bit him in the leg while he was delivering a package on Nov. 17. According to the police report, Daniel Ellison was leaving from the front door of the property around 10:30 a.m. after delivering a package when the dog ran toward him and bit him on the leg. In the report, Ellison said he kicked the dog in self-defense and when he tried to return to his vehicle, the dog started coming toward him again so he tried to scare the dog away. The dog ran back up the driveway and Ellison returned to his vehicle and drove away. The bite broke the skin, according to the police report. When the officer in charge questioned Heather Kurth, the dog’s owner, she said she heard the commotion outside but Ellison left before she could ask what happened, according to the police report. Kurth said in the report that they have an invisible fence in their yard and other mail carriers know to ho onk the h orn nb honk horn before they walk up to the house so she can pu put utt Dai u Daisy Dais D isy sy a aw w or they leave packages by the end away way. ay y Kurth’s dog is up to date on her shots. of the driveway. nnia ia Lakes Police Department labeled The Centennial as potentially p Kurth’s dog as dangerous animal and in er rvi a second interview on Dec. 8, Mark Kurth said it was ke ed iincident where the person came on to an unprovoked ya nd Daisy was protecting her property, the property and o tthe he police report. according to ney Kurt Glaser said there are two levels City Attorney on n for fo dog bites: dangerous and potentially of designation dangerous. stted on the potentially dangerous list A dog is listed e sseverity ev based on the of the bite, if it’s a repeat occurhe d he o overall behavior. rence and the dogs g iss llisted with the city, by law a microchip Once a dog mustt be e impla implan mp plan an nt in the animal, the owner must proimplanted vide id and d main mainta in nta a a proper enclosure for the animal maintain and the owner must carry a dog insurance policy. If the dog repeatedly bites people or the nature of the bite is severe, harsher punishments would be added such as keeping the dog muzzled at all times it is off the property and keeping it on a shorter leash. A hearing officer will make a decision on the case during mediation, which will take place within the next three weeks. After the mediation, if Kurth doesn’t agree with the condition set by the hearing officer he can appeal it to the city council where they will vote whether or not to overturn it, Glaser said adding there aren’t many incidents that make it to the city council. Typically, Glaser would be in charge of the mediation but he recommended the city council allow him to bring in a neutral mediator, and the council agreed. “No one will think there is a bias either way, real or not,” said Councilmember Diane Harris. The next regular city council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 5 at City Hall.
