Sold: Island off the market

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

One Bald Eagle Island has sold, but not to Hans Stachowiak, the German-born music producer who planned to build a recording studio on the property.

A second party had his eye on the island and made a noncontingent offer owners Jane and Nick Van Brunt accepted. The deal closed on June 16.

The new owner is Nathan Landucci, head of Stillwater-based Landucci Homes. He is also building the first home in Powers Estates, a three-lot subdivision on Bald Eagle Boulevard and Short Street in White Bear Township.

“Normally, I wouldn’t buy an existing home,” Landucci said, “but the home is just so spectacular and so well built. I’ve been talking to the Van Brunts for a couple of years. I’ve always been the secondary buyer. I think they had enough of the first party. They wanted to sell it and move on with their life.”

Landucci, who is single, has already moved in. As for commercial plans for the property, he said right now he’s just interested in using it as his residence.

“There is always potential, I’m a businessman and the house has opportunity, but right now, I’m just thinking it will be my house.”

In correspondence dated June 8, Stachowiak told the Press he was still hopeful “to come to a successful closing and project implementation, despite many problems still to overcome. I still believe that Bald Eagle Island would be a great asset and platform for our ongoing, international projects.”

Vineyard named for lucky No. 7

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Vineyard manager Steve Unverzagt shows off his pride and joy, one of five varieties of hybrid grapes growing on 10 acres in Dellwood. The winery will be located on the north side of Highway 96.

Now that the grapevines are maturing, digging will soon commence for Seven Vines Winery in Dellwood.

Owned by Ron and Arlie Peltier, the 10-acre vineyard dissected by Highway 96 has been years in the making.

"We are continuing on the journey started five years ago to create a wonderful destination vineyard and winery," said Peltier, CEO and chairman of HomeServices of America, the second largest residential brokerage firm in the United States.

The vineyard is part of a 188-acre estate purchased by the Peltiers in 2010.

It was the country home of the late

Peter Ffolliott and his wife Gertrude, who inherited the property from her mother Rachel Boeckmann. Boeckmann was given the land by her father, railroad baron James J. Hill. The estate features virgin timber, a 28-acre lake and a century-old mansion that the Peltiers refurbished and moved into last September.

The property has all the key ingredients for a destination winery, Peltier said, noting that there are only about 50 wineries in Minnesota and few that adjoin a historic golf course. Golfers from the White Bear Yacht Club can see the vineyards from the fourth fairway and the eighth green.

Local architecture firm wins award NewStudio Architecture, headquartered in White Bear Lake, recently received the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation Award for Outstanding Rehabilitation at a ceremony in Athens, Georgia, recognizing the fi rm’s work in repurposing a forgotten S. H. Kress store into a new Urban Outfitters store in downtown Athens.

Sean Wagner, CEO/president, and Marcy Conrad Nutt, project architect and senior associate, represented NewStudio Architecture for the project.

The Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation nominates potential recipients and considers how well each project has returned a neglected structure to a new state of usefulness, “while preserving those portions or features that are significant to its historical, architectural and cultural integrity,” according to its website.

Choose and achieve your future Keep learning and be patient

C

ONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES from whatever level of education you have achieved. To those of you who are going into the job market, you will join other millennials as the largest population group of our history.

The Baby Boomers are now looking at all types of senior living lifestyles, facilities and ways to boost their retirement income.

The job market needs you. I hope you have prepared yourselves with the skills that are needed. I hear over and over again, “We just can’t find qualified people.”

We have had such an emphasis over the past two decades for college education that I think About the we have put aside our technical schools. There are many in the Town trades and tech world where good Gene Johnson paying jobs are waiting.

Remember, education doesn’t stop when you graduate. Learning is lifelong. Whatever job you start with you can learn from it. You can also be involved in volunteer work which is another learning experience to enhance your resume. People will make a difference in your life so learn how to build and maintain relationships.

Continually seek purposeful work and lifestyle.

The family structure is still a key ingredient in society. Don’t throw it away.

Be open to learning by asking questions. If you have a career goal, find people in that career and learn from them. Many people are willing to mentor, encourage and provide support.

When I was 16 years old I started working at the newspaper in White Bear Lake. I found a great deal of encouragement from the publisher, editor and production people. In a couple of cases we had alcoholics in the back shop and I did double-duty during Monday morning hangovers.

They taught me shortcuts and tricks of the trade that I have never forgotten.

I still remember a postcard with a quote posted on the wall of the second floor of the Getty building saying, “It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.”

If your class adopted a motto, take note of its advice. My class motto of the 1954 graduating class of White Bear Lake was “Tonight we launch, where shall we anchor?” It has had lasting implications on my life, from anchoring my life on God and His principles to wondering where we will anchor while traveling aboard our boat. My wife’s class motto was “Take the world as you fi nd it, but leave it better.” This is a strong dictate to each of us. Think about how you can make your world better.

Another favorite quote is, “Make a hundred decisions at 90 percent accuracy rather than 10 decisions at 100 percent accuracy.”

Our nautical adventures provide the following quote, “If you wait for the perfect wind, you will never set sail.”

WHEN THE AIRLINES started charging baggage fees, people expanded their use of carry-on luggage. If you have been flying lately, you know the unintended consequences. It takes longer to load the plane, longer to exit, and most of all longer check-in times to clear security. The airlines need to relax those baggage fees and the TSA needs to become more efficient or let private industry come in and take it over.

ONE CAN LEARN a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are dull, some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

conversations regarding real community issues.

Our programs empower students to be the leaders in changing community water use behaviors, through providing them the awareness, knowledge, skills, and resources they need to make a difference.

Empowering youth to lead this effort dramatically expands the base of excited and passionate citizens in a community, leading to more sustainable management of water resources. Engaging the future generation of leaders and decision-makers now will lead to meaningful and lasting protection of our water resources into the future.

Examples of Race 2 Reduce work during the 2015-2016 school year: • Teachers from White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi have developed and integrated a robust sequence of curriculum at the elementary and high school level.

• Students participated in lessons on groundwater and aquifers, tracked their personal water usage, engaged with Enviroscape models of a watershed, and wrote persuasive articles on an important water issue in their community.

• All White Bear Lake Elementary schools participated in National Fixa-Leak Week, raising awareness of water resources within in the school community.

• More than 1,600 students participated in the “Use Water Wisely” poster contest.

• Mahtomedi High School Environmental Science students have revitalized a rain garden on school property to capture water runoff.

• Elementary students in White Bear Lake hosted a student-led water summit.

I’m so proud of this programming – leading the way by example and helping educate our community for a stronger, brighter future.

Crunch on quality, not quantity

C

rinkle crinkle crinkle. Crunch crunch crunch…and repeat. That is the sound of eating copious amounts of low quality food, only to be left with a feeling of empty dissatisfaction despite a full belly. It has happened to the best of us, creeping up and occurring before we are even aware. Chasing flavor and a feeling of fullness, we eat what lines the grocery store shelves and what we see advertised on entertaining commercials and colorful advertisements. Unfortunately, the profitable products of big food companies, such as salty carbohydrate-rich snacks and meal items, are generally not what will fulfi ll our cravings for rich, satisfying, nourishing food. Not only will they not fulfi ll our cravings, over time, they may even make us sick. I have wondered in the past why my cat and dog repeatedly ate things that made them throw up —and now I am wondering why we humans relentlessly pursue food that is not good for us.

Recently a rare event happened. My husband and I had the opportunity to go out to eat without the kids. We chose a farm to table restaurant:

Heartland. It was spectacular.

Portions were small—yet the food was so high quality, fresh and delicious, that more of it was not necessary.

The food was colorful, diverse, interesting, full of textures and flavor combinations and clearly well planned and carried out by an experienced culinary artist. I appreciated every morsel and crumb and stopped just short of licking Movers and the sauce off the plate, only since we were Shakers in public. I thought about that meal for a Megan long time and tried Baumler to figure out how to bring that level of quality at home. If we lit to t our kitchen k could consistently eat fresh, whole, nourishing food, maybe we would feel more satisfied and not overeat or indulge on non-nutritional processed foods.

My approach to increase the quality and decrease the quantity of the food

I source local and high quality grocery items, because fresh and good ingredients are truly much more delicious, leaving us feeling good mentally and physically. we eat at home includes minimizing processed, non-nutritional snacks, such as chips and crackers. A continuous work in progress for me is to maximize our intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, preparing them ahead of time when possible for efficiency. As much as possible, I source local and high quality grocery items, because fresh and good ingredients are truly much more delicious, leaving us feeling good mentally and physically.

I also avoid situations where I am starving and only have salty or sweet low quality—albeit abundant and for whatever frustrating reasons tempting beyond belief—processed foods that come in a crinkly bag.

Recently we had some blue cheese in our refrigerator from the University of Minnesota’s food science department.

I took a small bite of that blue cheese and honestly these words entered my brain and may have come audibly out of my mouth and rested on the ears of those nearby: “If I die now, it is okay, because I have had this cheese.” These are words that never entered my brain after eating Cheetos.

The words in my brain while eating Cheetos were more along the lines of “Ugh, why am I eating these? Oooh this cheese and salt tastes good… ugh my stomach hurts” all the while my hand going in for more. Cheetos themselves have done nothing wrong.

However, they do not have a place in a sustainable pattern of eating that yields good health outcomes. Let’s not deny ourselves the pleasure of eating good food. Let’s just be honest about what good food is. It doesn’t come in a bag and crinkle when you go in for a crunch.

League of Women Voters announces new policy WHITE BEAR LAKE — The League of Women Voters (LWV) White Bear Lake Area announced a significant change last week in how it will conduct its flagship candidate forums in 2016.

All League candidate forums statewide will now take place as scheduled, even if one of the candidates in a two-candidate race is unwilling or unable to attend.

Stephanie McNamara, president of LWV White Bear Lake Area, explained: “LWV Minnesota updated its candidate participation policy in response to voters’ concerns about the past practice of canceling forums when an opponent in a two-candidate race is unable or unwilling to be present. Now, if one candidate does not appear, the candidate in attendance will have an opportunity to express their positions on issues in opening and closing statements and in response to questions submitted by the audience.”

Because of its 97-year tradition of nonpartisan political activity, the league has historically cancelled a forum if a candidate did not confirm his attendance or did not arrive at the scheduled start time. This was done to avoid creating the appearance of a conflict of interest. In recent election cycles, it appears that some candidates and/or their political party are attempting to manipulate League of Women Voters Minnesota events by not appearing or not responding.

“It is unfair to voters for any one candidate or party to deprive voters of the opportunity to hear first-hand where candidates stand on issues important to them,” McNamara said, “We feel this policy change respects the time and interests of voters and candidates in attendance.”

As the primary and general election seasons approach, members of the League of Women Voters White Bear Lake Area are preparing to host a series

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Right time for gun control Last week’s opinion page art image entitled "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was about the Orlando gun massacre.

It’s action time.

Moments of silence and expressions of sympathy are simply not enough.

Call or email your legislative person and demand bipartisan action on common sense gun control measures. It’s the right time.

The baby had been left in the care of Whiteaker.

The baby was transported to St. John's Hospital.

“Paramedics reported that they observed multiple suspicious bruises on the baby's body,” reads the complaint. The bruise patterns resembled those indicative of child abuse. There was also bleeding to the baby's brain.

Medical child abuse experts at Children's Hospital reported: “Testing showed no underlying medical condition to account for the infant's constellation of injuries,” reads the complaint. Dr. Mark Hudson of the Midwest Children's Resource Center reported “the child actually died and was revived and will have permanent disabilities as a result of the inflicted trauma.”

Whiteaker initially gave a wide variety of accounts to explain his son's injuries, none of which would explain the injuries, said medical experts.

Wooden runabout returns to its Boat Works roots

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

After hours of painstaking restoration, a oneof-a-kind runabout with local history will make its debut at the Manitou Days Classic & Vintage Boat Show.

The wooden, 16-foot boat was made around 1959 by Johnson Boat Works in White Bear Lake. Its current owner, Charlie Hirn, got the boat from Mike Engle, brotherin-law to Joe Soucheray.

Hirn was displaying another boat at the Manitou Days show when Soucheray got up to give out awards. "He said his brother-in-law had the

boat, realized no one would restore it and if anyone was interested, to come talk to him."

The boat was in pretty rough shape when Hirn acquired it. "I looked at it first to see if it was worth restoring; it was," he said.

"So I took on the project."

That was two years ago.

Since then, Hirn has spent hundreds of hours replacing planking on the stout wooden hull, stripping the paint and applying a dozen coats of varnish.

"It was a real wreck when I got it, but the structure was in excellent shape so it was restorable.

It just needed a lot of cosmetic things done to it,"

said Hirn, who restores boats as a hobby on evenings and weekends.

Not much is known about the boat's history, other than it was built by Iver Johnson of the Boat Works family for his son Paul. Paul Johnson lost a leg to bone cancer as a teen and eventually died from the disease in 2003.

Iver was one of three sons born to Boat Works founder J.O. Johnson, a Norwegian immigrant who died in 1968.

Iver had two children, Iver "Skip" Johnson and Paul. Iver's brother Milton "Pete" Johnson had one child, Sylvia, and the third brother, Walter "Buster" Johnson, had

four children: John W., David, Steve and Carolyn.

The last wooden boat was built by the company in 1978.

Made of mahogany with a white cedar hull, the boat is well built and made similarly to how they made sailboats, Hirn said.

Another neat feature: the builders carved a figurehead into the front stem of the boat.

"They added some craftsmanship to this thing," Hirn said. "It's the face of an ancient mariner and really unique."

He's not sure yet if he will keep the boat. It currently has a 1958 35 hp Johnson motor that Hirn already owned.

When he spoke to the Press earlier this month, Hirn was driving to New Jersey to pick up another project — a 22-foot, 1948 Chris Craft Sportsman Utility. "It's an addiction," admitted Hirn, a Woodbury resident who sells pharmaceuticals for Pfizer Inc. "I love wood P boats." b

When Hirn looked at the boat for the first time, he knew its solid hull merited restoration. An employee of Johnson Boat Works, Dick Cochrane, carved the figurehead.

VINEYARD: Included on garden tour FROM PAGE 1A

Asked how the name Seven Vines originated, Peltier explained: “I have seven grandkids and seven has always been a special, lucky number with lots of meaning behind it.”

Seven was also Peltier’s hockey jersey number. He went to the University of Minnesota on a full hockey scholarship and was coached by Herb Brooks.

“I was always partial to seven and always wore that number,” he said. “Now I have seven grandkids to validate it.”

People curious about what’s happening at the property have an opportunity to visit the vineyard June 26 as part of the Mahtomedi Garden Club’s annual fundraising tour, something coordinator Mary Kiel describes as “very exciting.”

“We did a walk through a couple weeks ago with the manager, Steve Unverzagt,” she said. “It was fascinating. Steve is very knowledgeable of the process. If anyone can figure how to grow the best possible grapes and wine, it will be these guys. They are doing everything right.”

Vineyard manager Unverzagt is an expert on grape growing. He’s been with Seven Vines almost since the beginning and has nurtured the vines like a doting parent. He can talk for hours on how vines are trained on the trellis, how weather affects everything all the time and how his minor in art can actually be applied in sculpting the plant’s growth.

“Growing grapes is all about managing structure and process so everything is exactly where you need it to be on the day you need it to be there,” said Unverzagt, who calls it a “just-in-time supply chain.”

Unverzagt has never owned his own vineyard but as a board member of the Minnesota Grape Growers Association, he has been involved with the Upper Midwest cold, hardy wine business for years.

He explains that growing grapes is a balancing act. “That is all we do out here. We balance the amount of vegetation against the amount of fruit, the amount of leaves against the height of the shoots. It looks great from the road because of the hundred things that have to be done every day.”

Five cold-climate strains patented by the University of Minnesota were planted in 2012. All are hardy varieties designed to make it through frigid Minnesota winters year after year, while still producing a very good wine.

The first harvest of grapes — the variety was Marquette — was last August.

The red grapes were trailered in large bins to a winery near St. Peter for production. The wine is still undergoing a one-year aging process.

Once the winery is built, a vintner will be hired to produce the wine on site. The vineyard will generate 2,500 to 3,000 cases of wine, according to Unverzagt, but is permitted to produce 5,000 cases.

To Unverzagt, 63, producing wine in Minnesota is a “blue sky opportunity.”

“Meaning you don’t know how big it will be,” he explained. “The sky is the limit. It has more to do with how many people have the opportunity to do this today. Making wine in Minnesota wasn’t possible 10 years ago. It’s fun for me to be on the inside of the fences; I see everything change incrementally.

But when I step back, all of a sudden a whole new business is about ready to open its doors. That’s a big thing.”

New twist on an old tradition

SUBMITTED

Megan Johnson surrounds herself with the eight quilts she made for friends as a graduation gift.

A proud grandmother of a Mahtomedi High School grad shared a story she hopes encourages other young sewers. Her granddaughter, Megan Johnson, decided to put her own twist on a long family tradition of quilt making.

It seems Johnson’s mother, aunt and grandmother make special quilts to honor the family’s graduates.

Megan decided to take the tradition a step further by making eight quilts for her closest friends.

“She wanted to make them something so they would remember that she cared about them as they went off to college,” said Mary Lunde, Megan’s grandmother.

Months were spent gathering fabrics and drawing out designs to incorporate her friends’ favorite colors and personalities, Lunde said. “A lot of work went into these quilts. It was an amazing accomplishment to complete them all on top of her school work and sports.”

Megan of course, will get her own quilt from the talented seamstresses in her family. Lunde said her daughters would come over to her house on Sundays after church to work on the project. Its design incorporates things that happened in Megan’s life. A compass is always placed in the center “to show direction,” Lunde said. The corners depict the four seasons with fabric that represents what Megan enjoys. Leaves on the trees were made from fabric with basketballs, for example, because she played the sport in high school. Stars in the sky were made from hot dogs because she likes to grill them.

“Of all the memories shared in high school,” noted her grandmother, “Megan will remember sharing her love of quilt making.”

The Mahtomedi grad plans to attend Drake University in Iowa this fall to study criminal psychology.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES The White Bear Lake City Council conducted the following business at its June 14 meeting: • Approved first reading for a change to the sign code. A proposed text amendment will allow dynamic display signs on commercial, industrial and public properties.

City Planner Anne Kane said staff was skeptical at first about changing the sign ordinance but found the dynamic signs can be more effective. They will not be permitted in B-5 (downtown) or DCBD zones and will have other requirements such as pixel size (12 mm true pixel) and a 5-minute hold time for a message.

Signs must be able to auto-dim according to ambient conditions. The dynamic portion of a monument sign can take up to 70 percent of the square footage.

• Approved first reading of proposed change to B-2 and B-3 zoning districts. The change will allow second-hand and used-goods stores as a permitted use and donation collection sites with drive-thru lanes, drop-off bays or unloading zones with a conditional use permit. The change pertains to the new Goodwill store planned on Centerville Road.

• Approved first reading of a text amendment to a zoning code regarding domestic farm animals. The change corrects language to comply with the recently adopted backyard hen ordinance.

All domestic house pet animals shall be allowed as permitted uses in any zoning district and domestic farm animals may be considered as conditional uses, provided they are maintained on existing farm property. Horses may be kept in the “O” zoning district.

Councilman Kevin Edberg asked staff if there are any

farms left in White Bear Lake. City Manager Ellen Richter said the Rooney nursery property on County Road E might be listed under green acres tax code.

She promised to verify that before the second reading.

There are no horses in the city.

It was also noted that three permits have been issued thus far to keep backyard hens.

Public hearings will be held next month for all of the above first readings before final adoption.

• Authorized purchase of security cameras for the Public Safety building. Both the interior and exterior of the building will be under surveillance. The cost is $32,500 with money coming from the DWI forfeiture fund.

Police Chief Julie Swanson wrote in a memo to the city manager that public expectation for transparency in law enforcement is on the rise and cameras in public areas, booking room and interview rooms increase police accountability. The building currently has only one camera in the police booking room that is outdated and unreliable.

• Approved premises permit to Midwest Ski Otters to allow charitable gambling at Cabin 61.

• Requested staff look into League of Minnesota Cities research on what cities can do regarding panhandlers.

Councilman Dan Jones said he is “fed up” with the panhandlers who stand at the bottom of the I-694 ramp and White Bear Avenue.

“This is an eyesore at the entrance to the city,” Jones said. “There is garbage all over. They drink under the bridge waiting their turn. They are stopping traffic.

I have emailed the city manager and the police chief about enforcing our loitering laws.”

According to Jones, police have arrested at least two people on the corner on outstanding warrants.

“It must be financially motivating to stand on that corner,” Jones said, noting it seems to be the same five to seven people.

• Heard a report from Kane that the underground gas tanks at 2502 County Road E will finally be removed this week.

• Authorized agreement with Ramsey County to administer absentee voting. About 200 people are expected to use absentee voting. The city has $17,500 budgeted for local elections.

• Granted a temporary liquor license to the VFW for a fundraiser on June 26. The Post is hosting a benefit for a stroke victim from 1 to 6 p.m.

• Heard a report from Kane regarding property at 3695 St. Regis Drive. The county attorney has initiated efforts to cancel a repurchase agreement from former owner Cynthia Pearson, she said. Pearson has failed to meet conditions for title transfer of the home, which has been vacant for 10 years. The city can acquire the property at 25 percent of market value if it is put into affordable housing. Kane added Habitat for Humanity is interested in the property.

Mayor Jo Emerson noted: “I’m glad it’s moving forward. The neighbors need some closure on this property.”

ISLAND: Buyer waited patiently FROM PAGE 1A

The Van Brunts said they were excited about the recording studio that Stachowiak planned, but could no longer wait for him to complete the deal.

“Maintaining the island from 5,000 miles away was too difficult,” the Van Brunts said via email. They moved to Hawaii several years ago.

Landucci said he is not deterred by the challenges of island living.

A Stillwater grad, he’s been building new homes for 12 years and in the industry for about 20.

The property is currently spot zoned to allow a commercial recording studio on residential property so any other commercial use would require a new application process with the township.

Ramsey County lists the 2017 taxable market value of the 2.33-acre island as $1,692,000. Property taxes payable in 2016, residential non-homestead, are $25,500. The property was listed for

$849,900.

In response to an update on the island and status of the construction permits in the June 8 White Bear Press, Stachowiak had written on the Press Facebook page that the pickup of the issued construction permit is pending an agreement regarding the cash bond between the township and Megabien (Stachowiak’s entertainment company) and final closing terms with the Van Brunts. He added that final agreement with the Van Brunts on terms and conditions to close the sale of the island property has failed several times and another offer was just rejected days ago. He intended to submit a new proposal shortly, Stachowiak said.

Finally, Stachowiak wrote: “Financial partners associated to the project have expressed concern and reluctance due to the island nature of the property and the many restrictions issued by the Town Board through the conditional use permit.”

Park going to the dogs

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A Lake Avenue resident doesn't think it's right that dogs have a larger swim area than people.

At issue is the Matoska Park dog beach between Sixth and Seventh streets on White Bear Lake that the City Council approved in 2007. The area is accessed by stairs from the Lake Avenue trail.

"We noticed the swim buoys placed in the water at the Matoska swimming beach are well into the swimming area, cutting off one of the few places for the public to swim," noted Heidi Hughes via email to Public Works Director Mark Burch. "Since Ramsey County Beach is closed, shouldn't that have been a public conversation — whether to make a larger swimming area for dogs than there has ever been or to maintain the public swimming area?"

Hughes also raised concerns about dog owners who are picnicking and setting up chairs, coolers and other paraphernalia all over the boat docks and on dinghies owned by private individuals.

"Are these owners aware that their boats are basically picnic tables for dog owners? I also noticed a couple getting their dinghy out in the afternoon, waving dogs and owners aside, and dodging swimming dogs as they maneuvered to their sailboat."

Then there is the matter of safety, both for dogs and for children. Hughes

told Burch that dogs off leash in a public area could bite a child swimming at the beach. The homeowner said she won't allow her four young children to go to the beach until the dogs are moved. She feels that is "dreadfully unfair" without a public hearing and wants the city to step in and move the dogs beyond a physical barrier from families.

In a reply to Hughes, City Manager Ellen Richter provided minutes from City Council discussions in 2007 leading up to approval of the public space for dogs. "Certainly as water levels fluctuate, the use of this park changes and we recognize adjustments may be needed accordingly," Richter wrote.

"We are hopeful that the buoys put in place (in late May) and new signage will help mitigate some concerns but we recognize there may be additional remedies."

Richter also promised to put the item on the June 14 City Council agenda for discussion.

At that meeting, the city manager told council members the dog beach, while an unusual use of the area, has worked fairly well.

"There wasn't a conflict of use in 2007 but with the lake rising, there may be more interaction between the beach and the dog area," Richter said.

The unique swimming area is popular for dog owners who don't live in the city, too, Richter added, noting that a pet food store advertises the dog beach in White Bear Lake.

Councilman Kevin Edberg suggested a dock on Goose Lake for dogs. Councilman Dan Jones agreed, saying West

FIREWORKS SAFETY – With the 4th of July nearing, please keep in mind some safety tips: • Read & understand fireworks directions, Read caution labels before igniting • Use fireworks only with close adult supervision & keep fireworks away from children – sparklers alone burn at 1800o • Never aim or throw fireworks at a person, animal, building, vehicle, wooded area or flammable items • Stay away from failed fireworks (“duds”) for an extended amount of time to make sure they don’t ignite • Check wind direction before lighting fireworks or avoid having it blow into trees, onto house roofs, fields, etc.

CRIME PREVENTION TIPS – DON’T MAKE IT EASY FOR CRIMINALS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU: • Leave outside lights on & trim overgrown shrubs near the house, criminals prefer to work where they are less likely to be seen; • Install quality deadbolt lock sets; • Don’t put the box for your new big screen TV out next to the trash, it advertises what’s inside your home; • Make sure your overhead garage door is closed, even if you are just in the backyard, it only takes a moment for something to disappear.

DON’T GET SCAMMED– Many have fallen victim to popular work-from-home and employment scams.

Members of job sites, including Craigslist, Monster, & Yahoo are generally the biggest targets of these scams. The victim is always hired by the scamming company, even if they have limited experience or the interview was unsuccessful. The trick of this scam is when the “new employee” receives a salary check up-front or after completing fake work. The scammer claims that the company has overpaid & they need the victim to transfer funds to a different account.

The hopeful employee then gets word that the check has bounced & they must pay additional fees. There is no job, & the victim has just been scammed out of their own money.

Vietnam veterans continue search for missing

JULIE KINK | SUBMITTED

The guys who went on the excursion into the A Shau Valley to search for the missing: (we wives didn’t go into the Valley but we are in the photo) Frank Brown, Mike Sprayberry, Julie Kink, Pamela Elliott, Frank Elliott, Neil Floyd.

BY JULIE KINK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Growing up in the 1960s, my world was no bigger than the tree-lined streets of my neighborhood, wherever my Schwinn bike could take me. The evening news, with scenes of helicopters crashing and men on stretchers with white bandages around their heads, brought Vietnam into our living room. But “Vietnam” wasn’t the name of a place. It was the name of a war.

When my brother David went there to fly helicopters,

“Liet Sy” means martyr.

I became aware of Vietnam as a pink spot on a map where it was very hot. We sent him Kool-Aid because the water was bad, and letters to remind him of home.

Soon “Vietnam” became the thing that took David away from us, for good. And like most Gold Star families of the era, after a while, “Vietnam” became the thing we never spoke of again.

Ten years ago, I visited Vietnam for the first time. It became not just the name of a war, but the name of a place. The guns are silent, the land is recovering, and the economy is growing. To Vietnam, “The American

War,” as it is called, is just one chapter in a centuries-long battle history. More than two-thirds of the people living in Vietnam today were born after the war.

They are a proud people, eager to exchange friendly handshakes with their former foes.

In 2006 and again in 2009, I stood on a bridge outside of Phuoc Vinh, a mile or two from the site where an explosion brought down the 1st Cavalry scout helicopter carrying my brother David and his two fellow crewmen, causing their deaths. By finding men who served with him, I have learned not only how David died, but more

importantly, how he lived.

Now, after my third trip to Vietnam last month, I have spent more time there than David did, back in 1969.

This time I accompanied my husband Mike Sprayberry, a Vietnam veteran whom I met on that 2006 trip, on a mission of his own.

On April 25, 1968, as the 21-year-old commander of a 5th Battalion, 7th Cavalry company, Mike led a small group of soldiers on a harrowing nighttime rescue in the A Shau Valley. A platoon of fellow infantrymen had been ambushed and pinned down by North Vietnamese forces. All of the survivors were rescued, but the bodies of three fallen soldiers could not be recovered. A few days later, a helicopter attempting to locate the three men’s bodies was also lost to heavy enemy fire; the bodies of three helicopter crewmen could not be recovered.

To this day, the bodies of all six men remain in the A Shau Valley.

Mike received the nation’s highest military award, the Medal of Honor, for his heroic efforts that dark night. Over the four decades since, he has remained determined to find the six missing men and bring them

home, returning four times to Vietnam in search of evidence compelling enough to convince the U.S. government to initiate a formal recovery effort. The quest to bring the missing men home is the subject of the documentary, “Fallen But Not Forgotten,” also known as “The MIAs on Tiger Mountain.”

Last month, Mike returned to the A Shau Valley with three of his men who had been in the ambush: Frank Elliott, Frank Brown and Neil Floyd, accompanied by Vietnam veteran/archaeologist Bruce Jones and former Vietnam helicopter pilot Chuck Kinnie. They were joined by members of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA). Besides being a personal journey for the troopers who returned, the trip helped confirm locations where the missing men may be buried. An excavation is planned soon with the hope of returning these men at last to their waiting families.

My husband searches for the dead; I search for the

living. For 20 years, I have helped families of helicopter crewmembers killed in Vietnam to find veterans who served with their loved ones — I affectionately call them “my dead guys.” There are over 400 of them. Some of their family members have become my best friends.

I took a list of “my dead guys” to Vietnam. Winding up a high mountain road with breathtaking views, I took out my list and read each name to myself, thinking of their families, of their young lives, and of how things have changed since they shed their blood in Vietnam. I wanted each of them to be remembered in that place, in a time of peace.

We, their families, and their buddies, will never forget them.

1916 Council proceedings. Mr. W. H. Jackson asked to have a water main laid on Morehead avenue. Mr. H. J. Hilbert was also present and spoke in favor of having a water main laid on Morehead. The request was taken under advisement until next meeting. Bids for painting Fire Hall building opened and read. Moved by Lonergan seconded by Clewett that all bids be rejected and new bids asked for under new specifications. Bids to be opened July 6th. Carried. Ayes all.

Mahtomedi gets ‘a little swagger going,’ rolls into state baseball finals

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The top-ranked Mahtomedi Zephyrs played in the Class 3A state baseball championship game against Henry Sibley on Monday. That was too late for this edition of the Press, but you can read about it on our website.

“This is the pinnacle,” said coach John Hardgrove, after the Zephyrs won twice at state.

“Having gone home disappointed a couple times, it certainly is fun to get over the hump.”

Mahtomedi has qualified three straight years, and lost in the fi rst round in 2014 and 2015.

No early exit this time, though. Playing errorless defense each game, the Zephyrs pummeled New Ulm 13-3 in five innings June 16 at CHS Field in St. Paul, then stymied Little Falls 4-1 in the semifi nals June 17 at Siebert Field in Minneapolis.

“I put my trust in our defense to make plays, and they did again today,” Mitch Nordin told the Star-Tribune, after pitching the win over Little Falls.

Mahtomedi (21-5), ranked fi rst in the coaches association poll, had two regular-season wins over conference rival Henry Sibley (14-15), which pulled some upsets in sectionals and state to reach the fi nals. All four championship games, Class 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A, were played at Target Field in Minneapolis.

The coach had high praise for the team’s fielding.

“We had no errors and we had one big double play against New Ulm,” said Hardgrove, referring to a short-to-second-to-fi rst twin-killing that snuffed a potential big inning by Sibley in the third. “Then we got eight runs in the bottom half, which really catapulted us. We got a little swagger going.”

Until this year, there were three classes, and Mahtomedi played in the largest. Now they’re in the second-largest.

Bartholomew fi nished 3-for-3, Moses had two doubles, and Kyle Hinseth, John Peterson, and Mitch Nordin also knocked in two runs each.

Jack Schwartz hurled all five innings for the Zephyrs, giving up nine hits, striking out one.

Andrew Peters was 3-for-3 for New Ulm (20-5) and starter Cooper Forsook took the loss.

Mahtomedi 13, New Ulm 3 The Zephyrs paraded eight runs across the plate in the third, with eight hits, including a two-run single by Charlie Bartholemew and a two-run double by Trevor Moses.

Mahtomedi 4, Little Falls 1 Mitch Nordin pitched the distance, limiting the Flyers to four singles and three walks, needing only 93 pitches, 63 of them strikes, and striking

out three. Picking up his fi fth win against two losses, Nordin out-dueled Mitchell Boros, who went the route for the Flyers (20-6).

“Mitch kind of ground his way through two or three innings,” said Hardgrove, “and once he got settled down, he really took command and didn’t give up anything more.”

Mahtomedi’s 7-8-9 hitters, Joe Rock, Adam Stone and Bartholomew, delivered consecutive RBI singles in the second inning. Rock fi nished 3-for-3, and Moses had another double an and RBI.

Working wonders with wedges, Part 1 I believe the major reason why the average golfer can’t break 90 is because he/she can’t get up and down consistently from 10 yards off of the green. I’ve suggested many times that you keep your statistics Tee Time when you play so you know your weaknesses with Coach and what you should be spending your practice Betsy time on. If you can’t Larey chip/pitch to within 5 feet of the hole 50 percent of the time, you might want to consider a different method for hitting these all important short game shots.

Those of you who have taken a lesson from me know that I don’t believe there is just one perfect way to swing the golf club. So if your short game shots are working for you there’s no reason to think about changing. But if you tend to hit these shots fat or thin, you might want to consider giving this swing a try.

A chipping stroke is nothing more than the hitting area of a full swing.

The only modifications are a nar-

rower stance and your weight stays on your left side (target side) for the entire shot. The club of choice for most players should be one of two wedges. I carry a 50 and a 56; others carry a 54 and a 58. I use the 50 gap wedge when I have a lot of green to cover and am going uphill.

What’s different about this method vs. the standard method is that the swing is actually made with a pivot instead of an arm swing. Last week I explained why many players tend to hit fat and thin shots with a standard chip.

The setup is a narrower stance, with the heels about 4 inches apart.

You want to have a slightly closed stance, with your weight on your left side. The ball position is in the middle, with the hands slightly in front of the ball. You want your shoulders to be level, and the easiest way to accomplish this is to make sure your left elbow is bent and soft.

You should bend forward from the hips, making sure the weight is on the balls of your feet. You also want the heel of the sand wedge off of the ground.

For the swing, the butt end of the club pretty much stays in place,

while the clubhead is set with the hands and the right elbow. Instead of moving the grip back towards the right hip (as you do in the standard chip), you slide your right elbow along your right side. Your hips turn a little (without shifting your weight on your right side), but your hands should never pass your right leg.

The downswing starts with a pivot of your lower body fi rst, with shoulders trailing. The clubhead releases at the bottom of the swing (which is established with your set up) and is done by allowing your right elbow to lengthen through impact. You should maintain the bend (lag) in your right wrist though and after the impact spot. After impact, your left elbow slides along the left side of your body. The lower body pivots around your left leg, and I feel as if my right knee is “kissing” my left knee. At the end of the shot, I want to feel as if the butt of the club is in my left pocket.

At the fi nish, you want to pivot all the way through on to your left side.

Make sure your hands stay passive during the stroke. My arms stay very close to my body, and the speed

of the swing is made by my pivot, not my arm swing.

To hit a low chip, you will rotate your forearms and keep a bowed left wrist. You should feel as if the clubface stays closed on the backswing.

You can also experiment with a ball position to control the trajectory.

(The farther in front, the higher the trajectory). To hit a higher chip, you will not rotate your forearms at all.

Instead, you will want to keep your right palm facing up throughout the shot.

Next week I’ll go into detail about pitching shots.

Bears’ Marston is Mr. Golf finalist and placed 10th at state meet

One big Pike Jack Simonson shared this photo of his wife Nancy’s 32-pound northern caught June 14 on Basswood Lake near Ely. The Vadnais Heights couple were celebrating their 46th wedding anniversary and ironically, according to Jack, the fish measured 46 inches long.

“We are complete tenderfoots to this fishing deal,” said Jack, a retired 3Mer, “so we decided to hire a guide. He put us right on the fish.” The guide was Todd Larson of Basswood Outfitters.

He baited the treble hook with a “huge” sucker minnow and a green and yellow spinner with large bobber to catch the pike. Word got around when the couple returned to the lodge and Nancy was nicknamed “Nancy McFish.” She was also invited to ride on a float in the Fourth of July Ely parade. Jack said they’re not sure yet whether they’ll attend. The fish was released.

White Bear Lake golfer Scott Marston capped his career with a lifetime-memory kind of week that included a prestigious state award and a top-10 finish in the state tournament.

Marston was one of eight senior finalists for Mr. Golf, a coaches association award, with criteria of academics, character and service along with golf excellence.

“That was a nice honor. I wasn’t expecting it,” said Marston, who attended a banquet on the Sunday evening before the state meet. The awards went to Andrew Israelson of Staples-Motley and Kate Smith of Detroit Lakes.

“Scott is mature past his years, a great student of the game and a great practice player,” assessed his coach, Craig Nasvick. “He tries very diligently to hit the perfect shot every time. He truly exemplifies honesty and integrity. He has been a pleasure to coach these past five years.”

At state, Marston tied for 10th place in Class AAA with scores of 73 and 76 for a 149 total at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids on June 14-15. He had captured the Section 4AAA medal there the week before with 151. In his third state trip, he logged his best finish, after placing 20th with 152 as a sophomore and 72nd with 168 last year.

“For state, you have a little added pressure that helps you to focus more, especially my senior year,” said Marston, who had also shot a 73 at the long Bunker Hills course early in the season. “I shot pretty well, not necessarily the best all year.”

After his one-over-par on Tuesday, Marston was in second place, although six strokes behind Minnetonka junior Ben Sigel’s blazing 67. Sigel shot 72

Wednesday to wrap up the medal with 139 and lead the Skippers to the team championship.

Marston averaged 74.5 strokes this year, down from 76 as a junior and 79 as a sophomore.

He drives in the 280 to 290 yard range and averages about 32 putts. Golf is his lone sport as he dropped hockey after 10th grade and football after 11th.

The son of Scott and Melissa Marston, he has four younger sisters, two of whom have started golf.

Marston will keep swinging this summer at five Minnesota Junior PGA events, and qualifiers for the state open, state amateur and U.S. Open.

The Press reached Marston the day after the state tournament while he was traveling to Truman University in Indiana, where he will play golf and major in chemistry or pre-med. About the end of his prep career, he reflected, “It’s a little sad, and I’m going to miss it, but college golf is going to be fun, maybe even better.”

Four Bears at state Four White Bear Lake golfers competed at state. The other boys qualifier, junior Jack Peterson, placed 75th with 84-82–166. In the girls meet, Taite Anderson, a senior, placed 55th with 174, and Kayla Borgland was off her game with 98-110-208.

Coach ‘living the dream’ with Century’s perennial baseball power

SUBMITTED

Baseball coach Dwight Kotila has taken three schools to national tournaments, including Century College.

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Dwight Kotila arrived at Century College in 2008, charged with re-starting baseball and softball programs absent for 30 years, and coaching the baseball team.

He relished the challenge, hit the ground running, and quickly built Century into the diamond power it’s been all six years.

“It was a big job, but I was able to sell kids on all the teams I’ve taken to nationals,” said Kotila, who had already been a junior college coach for 13 years, with seven trips to national tournaments, about that inaugural season.

His fi rst Wood Ducks team (2011) went 30-14, his third team was national runner-up, and this year’s edition made their third trip in the last four years to NJCAA Division III in North Carolina, fi nishing fi fth with a 39-13 record. The 2015 team placed fourth, Ace pitcher Ryan Schlosser was drafted by the Atlanta Braves, the second Century hurler taken by the Braves, following Jared Dettmann in 2013.

Five other Wood Ducks have signed with four-year colleges, including White Bear Lake’s Christian Zellner, a pitcher, set for Concordia-St. Paul; fi rst baseman Matt Hasselquist (Chicago Lakes) to Grandview; outfielder Alex Twenge (Minnetonka) to North Dakota State; catcher Noah Bluth (St. Anthony Village) to Mankato; and shortstop Wes Anderson (Duluth East) to Southwest Minnesota.

“We have achieved more in six years than most programs do in a lifetime,” acknowledged Kotila, 47, a Shoreview resident, who serves as P.E. teacher and athletic director, overseeing golf and

soccer programs as well.

“I don’t take all the credit for that, of course.

We’ve had a lot of good players, and the school gives great support to us and all the teams.”

The Wood Ducks went 1-2 at nationals this year.

They lost to eventual champion Tyler, Texas, which roughed up Schlosser 11-1, then beat Waubonsee (IL) behind Josh Gaworski’s four-hitter 5-2, and were ousted by Niagara (NY) in the 13th inning 5-2 after Zellner went the fi rst 12 and gave up just two runs. Bluth had five hits in the three games.

“At this point, we’re not satisfied just to get there any more. We want to go all the way,” said Kotila.

Schlosser had a 6-5 record, 2.25 ERA and 90 strikeouts in 68 innings. Zellner was 8-2 and 2.40, and Gowarski 8-0 and 3.02. Anderson led with a .434 average, five homers, 62 runs, and 32 steals, while knocking in 35 runs. Bluth hit .429 and led with 53 RBIs. Troy Ouellette (Armstrong) hit .351, Hasselquist .341, Twenge .333 and Preston Riewer (Bertha-Hewitt) .318.

Century obviously made a good hire in Kotila, whose resume at Ridgewater College in Willmar (national trips in the last six of his 10 years, one runner-up fi nish) and Riverland College in Austin (nationals in his third, fi nal year) were a factor. Advancing to nationals requires winning a 15-team Region 13 tournament.

In fact, NJCAA officials informed Kotila at nationals this year that he is now the only coach in U.S. college baseball history at any level — Division I, II, III, NAIA, and junior college — to take three different schools to national tournaments.

Kotila’s record at Century is 228-75 and overall is 610-215. He regards recruiting, which he loves,

Tramm, a 5-foot-9 setter who graduated from Concordia Academy in Roseville this spring, recently signed a letter of intent with the Warriors.

“Elisabeth is a huge addition to our team,” Waldorf coach Paul Meyer said. “She brings a high level of play, a great winning attitude and depth at the setter position.”

A three-year varsity starter and four-year letter winner at Concordia Academy, Tramm earned Class 2A all-state honors during her fi nal three seasons. She was named a fi rst-team all-state selection as a senior and also garnered all-Tri-Metro Conference recognition during her fi nal three seasons with the Beacons.

Helping Concordia Academy secure two straight state tournament trips, Tramm capped the 2015 campaign on the All-Tournament Team as the Beacons fought to a runner-up fi nish.

Looking ahead to the next stage of her career, Tramm is set on furthering her commitment to the sport that she’s poured her heart into when

she joins the Warriors in August.

“Continuing volleyball in college means bringing my dedication and love for the sport to a new level and getting the opportunity to compete with talented athletes who have done the same,” Tramm said.

Tramm is a native of White Bear Lake and the daughter of Kevin and Jane Tramm. She will pursue a degree in education at Waldorf. She decided to sign with the Warriors because of the university’s close-knit campus, the Forest City community, academic opportunities and volleyball program.

“I chose Waldorf University because of its small-town charm, excellent education and high-level volleyball program,” Tramm said.

“She does an incredible job of running her team’s offense, getting the hitters balls and makes great on-court decisions,” Meyer said.

“She brings experience playing at the highest levels in both high school and club seasons, has played in many big games and brings a winning attitude. We are excited to add Elisabeth to our 2016-17 recruiting class.”

Submitted

as the biggest factor in that success. By now, he’s got plenty to sell.

“We can tell (prospects) that we’ve had about 50 guys going on to four-year colleges, three trips to nationals, and two pitchers drafted by the pros,” said Kotila. Other selling points, he said, are “our very diverse academics” and a wellkept, picturesque ballpark surrounded by a thick grove of trees and a walking path.

Kotila was a football, basketball and baseball player at Dassel-Cokato High School. At Ridgewater, he was an outfielder and strong hitter. He played one more season at St. Cloud State, while earning a degree in education and a masters in Sports Science. He stuck with town-team baseball for 20 years at D-C and Cold Spring, appearing in 13 state tournaments and winning three state titles with the Springers.

In describing himself as “single and living the dream,” he means he can devote most of his time to his abiding lifelong passion: baseball.

“Yes, getting paid to do something I love is great. Couldn't have asked for a better job.”

Muskie Magic Neal Nelson of Hugo took second place in the 20th Annual Metro Muskie Tournament June 11. He caught two fish on Bald Eagle Lake that measured 46.5 inches and 41.5 inches. The tournament was based on points; which were accorded for how many inches each fish measured. Nelson’s buddy Matt Pasma netted both his fish, making it a team effort. Nelson’s sister Chelsea sent the photo, saying her brother has a passion for muskie fishing and was very happy with second place. “He said if he could bottle up the feeling, he would be a billionaire,” she wrote.

CORRECTION It was incorrectly stated in the June 14 edition of the White Bear Press in the article on the state track meet that White Bear Lake Area High School junior Miriam Probst fi nished behind Andover's Stacy Bates in the wheelchair 200. Probst won the 200 in a personal season best time of 1:02. She also won the 100, discus and shot put at the state meet and contributed four of the girls' teams 23 points.

WHITE BEAR SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The District 624 School Board took the following action at its June 13 meeting: • Held a first reading on changes to school board policies.

The word “gender” was added to a list of categories which the district does not unlawfully discriminate against in the equal educational opportunity policy and was also added to the harassment and violence policy.

The mandated reporting of child neglect or physical or sexual abuse had definitions of abuse, non-maltreatment mistake and reporting updated.

• Approved the 2016-2017 preliminary budget. The district projects a beginning general fund balance of $16 .3 million and an ending fund balance of $16.4 million.

• Approved a property and casualty insurance package with the Minnesota Insurance Scholastic Trust (MIST) in the amount of $315,000 for one year.

• Approved workers compensation insurance from

There was a 5 cent increase to breakfast and lunches and a 10 cent increase to adult lunches.

• Approved a resolution on Northeast Metropolitan Intermediate School District No. 916's long-term facility maintenance budget and authorized its proportionate share. White Bear Lake Area Schools' proportionate share of project costs for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 is $21,900.

• Scheduled a work study/board retreat from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday, July 11.

• Terminated the contracts of probationary staff — one family and consumer science teacher and one nurse had their contracts terminated for financial limitations, teachers returning from leave, reduction in need, contractual or other issues.

• Approved changes to two school board policies: discipline and school district curriculum and instruction goals. The discipline policy has added definitions for dismissal, exclusion, expulsion and suspension. The school district curriculum and instruction goals policy made changes regarding federal law and the switch from the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). It also changed language to reflect state legislation, the World's Best Workforce.

new courses: baking and pastries, French 4, principles of democracy, AP chemistry, college prep algebra, American Sign Language 2, and a 21st century skills course. High school staff will also work on updates to language arts, art and special education classes.

• Approved the Q-Comp Mahtomedi Compensation Plan.

The Q-Comp program through the Minnesota Department of Education gives teachers extra compensation based on their performance, said Robert Pontious, coordinator of the program for Mahtomedi. Teachers are evaluated by peer coaches. Mahtomedi teachers can receive a total of $2,000 in extra compensation, said Pontious.

• Approved a resolution relating to open enrollment.

Open enrollment for kindergarten, second, third, fourth and fifth grades was closed to children who do not have siblings or who are children of employees in the district. Children of siblings and employees remain on a waiting list. Seven first-grade students were accepted and a waiting list remains for other applicants.

Two seventh-grade and three eighth-grade students were accepted. Sixth, ninth, 10th and 11th grades also still have a waiting list. Twelfth grade is closed for

open enrollment.

“If we could we would take every child, but we can't,” said Mark Larson, superintendent.

“We want to focus on the best for our current kids,” said Lucy Payne, board chair.

• Approved one changed and one new policy — graduation requirements and food service student account management. The graduation requirements policy changed to include Minnesota graduation requirements in terms of science and social studies requirements. The new food service student account management policy will clarify procedures for notifying families when lunch accounts become low. Among the management is student notification and an email alert option for families when balance hits $10. When the balance becomes $10 negative, contact with parents and guardians will be made. If the balance hits $50 negative a courtesy meal of milk and cereal for breakfast and milk and a sandwich for lunch will be offered.

Families may apply for free or reduced lunches at any time.

White Bear Lake’s Hidden Music

BY NICOLE MURPHY 5TH GRADE LINCOLN ELEMENTARY

DING DONG, DING DONG! The giant clock in downtown White Bear Lake chimes a beautiful song to start a busy day. The students make their way to school, the adults hustle off to work.

Zoom, beep!! The cars honk, buzz, and whiz past as the people carry on with their day. White Bear Lake is a very busy and d musii cal place. Sometimes you have to listen more carefully to hear the song.

Chat, chat, chat-chat. The zigzag line of the people waiting for Cup N’ Cone seems to go forever! People start a good conversation with one another while waiting for a nice, cool scoop of ice cream.

Clit clat, clit clat. The children skip and jump as their feet clatter along to the beat of the music played by the marching bands in the Manitou parade. They squeal and scream as they scramble for the candy and goodies tossed out to them.

As the evening comes to an end, the loons cry, the frogs chirp and the lapping of the water against the shores of White Bear Lake carries everybody's tension away. Swish, swish, swish, swish…

White Bear Lake is full of music and if you listen closely, you can hear music just about everywhere you go!

Music Education – How It Helps You

BY PRECIOUS BOAHEN 5TH GRADE LINCOLN ELEMENTARY

Music: One of the most comforting, soothing, lively things of all time.

But for children, it’s even better. Music education has countless benefits for children of all ages. During the concerts the children gain important public speaking skills. If you can sing i n front of a crowd, you can talk in front of a crowd.

That makes middle school, high school and college much easier for many kids. They also gain the ability to break out of their confining shells or labels, by trying new music and trying to hit new notes.

For example, a boy who is labeled gruff and tough may have an astonishing voice. But he hides it.

In music class he can break out of his shell and sing to his heart's content.

That is why I believe that the WBL music program is one of the most important programs in the whole district.

When I was little I thought that music couldn't get any better. But this fifth grade year, it has. I started orchestra this year in October. I have made so many friends through orchestra.

I used to go to Willow Lane Elementary.

This year I came to Lincoln for the Explorations Program and I knew no one. But during music class I made tons of friends and pla yed fun games. Music class helped me find friends and gave me confidence. That is why I l ove the White Bear Lake music programs. That is why music is important to me.

Orchestra in White Bear Lake

BY HANNAH AHRENS 5TH GRADE LINCOLN ELEMENTARY

I love the White Bear Lake orchestra program.

I love that we have different instruments so it has a different sound, and I love that we get to play our instruments with our friends and we get to practice together. I also love that all of the schools in W hite Bear Lake do it, so when we are performing i ttogethth er we get to meet new people.

I play the violin and it always helps me. When I am sad I play and it cheers me up. When someone else is sad I play for them, and it cheers them up. The sound of the music we play makes people feel happy and good inside, including myself. It makes a beautiful sound and it feels relaxing when I play.

Playing as a group makes me feel like I fit in with everything and that when we play together each of us is like a piece of a puzzle and we all come together to complete the puzzle and we sound amazing.

The White Bear Lake orchestra program is important to me and everyone in it and it is definitely all the money and time that it takes, and I am so glad we have it because it makes my life a million times better.

MILITARY BRIEFS

Rate Increase Notice

National Guard youth camp

Notice of public hearings for Xcel Energy Xcel Energy has asked the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) for a three-year increase in electricity rates. For 2016, the requested increase is for $194.6 million or about 6.4 percent. For 2017, the requested incremental increase is for $52.1 million or about 1.7 percent. For 2018, the requested incremental increase is for $50.4 million or 1.7 percent. The total increase for the three-year period is $297.1 million or about 9.8 percent.

Alternatively, Xcel Energy has proposed a settlement plan offer which asks the MPUC to approve a fiveyear increase in electricity rates. Under this rate-setting approach, the requested increase for 2016 is for $163.7 million or about 5.4 percent, based on the 2016 cost of service. For 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, the requested incremental increase for each year is $54.6 million, or about 1.8 percent per year. Depending upon customer class and use, the actual percentage of any increase will vary under either the three-year or five-year proposal. We requested the rate changes described in this notice. The MPUC may either grant or deny the requested changes, in whole or in part, and may grant a lesser or greater increase than that requested for any class or classes of service.

The MPUC will likely make its decision about the final rates in 2017. While the MPUC reviews Xcel Energy’s request, state law allows Xcel Energy to collect higher rates on an interim (temporary) basis. The interim rate increase for 2016 is $163.7 million or about 5.5 percent over total current rates. Because Xcel Energy is requesting a multi-year rate plan, we also requested an increase to the interim rate starting January 1, 2017. If approved, the Company will provide additional details before this increase happens. If final rates are lower than interim rates, we will refund customers the difference with interest. If final rates are higher than interim rates, we will not charge customers the difference.

If you move before a refund is issued and we cannot find you, your refund may be treated as abandoned property and sent to the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Unclaimed Property Unit.

You can check for unclaimed property at missingmoney.com. To make sure we can send you any refund owed, please provide a forwarding address when you stop service.

Public hearings Administrative Law Judge Jeffery Oxley is holding eight public hearings. You are invited to comment on the adequacy and quality of Xcel Energy’s service, the level of rates or other related matters.

You do not need to be represented by an attorney.

Effect of rate changes • The chart labeled PROPOSED CHANGE IN AVERAGE MONTHLY BILLS shows the effect of the interim rate increase and the proposal for three annual rate increases on monthly bills for customers with average electricity use. Individual changes may be higher or lower depending on actual electricity usage.

• The chart labeled MONTHLY CUSTOMER CHARGES shows the current and proposed 2016 and 2017 monthly customer charges.

• The chart labeled ENERGY (PER KWH) AND DEMAND (PER KW) RATES shows the effect of Xcel Energy’s proposal on 2016 and 2017 energy and demand charges for each class of ratepayers.

For 2018 rates, Xcel Energy proposed a 2.026 percent General Rate Surcharge applicable to the customer, energy (kWh) and demand (kW) charge components of 2017 rates.

Accommodations If any reasonable accommodation is needed to enable you to fully participate in these meetings (e.g., sign language or large print materials), please contact the Office of Administrative Hearings at 651.361.7000 (voice) or 651.361.7878 (TTY) at least one week in advance of the meeting.

Evidentiary hearings Formal evidentiary hearings on Xcel Energy’s proposal start on October 3, 2016, at the MPUC, 121 Seventh Place East, Suite 350, St. Paul.

Blue-green algae: If in doubt, stay out While water enthusiasts and pets enjoy swimming and boating when the weather is calm and sunny, these conditions are also perfect for growing blue-green algae, which can be harmful to both people and animals.

Last summer, blue-green algal blooms were reported in lakes across the state, from near the Iowa border all the way to the Canadian border.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) staff jointly investigated two reported human illnesses and multiple dog deaths following exposure to blue-green algae.

Blooms typically begin to form in June when the weather warms, but with the mild spring weather this year, blooms may already be present in Minnesota

lakes.

Not all blue-green algae are toxic, but there is no way to tell whether a bloom is toxic by looking at it. Harmful blooms often look like pea soup, green paint or floating mats of scum and sometimes have a bad smell. However, harmful blooms aren’t always large and dense and can sometimes cover small portions of the lake with little visible algae present. Before you or your children or pets enter the water, take a closer look at the lake and check for algae in the water or on shore to help determine if a bloom recently happened.

“If it looks and smells bad, don’t take a chance. We usually tell people: If in doubt, stay out,” said Pam Anderson, MPCA water quality monitoring super-

visor. “If you’re not sure, it’s best for people and pets to stay out of the water.”

If you do come into contact with bluegreen algae, wash off with fresh water immediately, paying special attention to the areas your swim suit covered.

Rinse off pets with fresh water if you think they swam in water where bluegreen algae were present.

Dogs are at particular risk, as they are more likely to wade in the areas of a lake where algal scum accumulates and humans avoid. Dogs are usually exposed to larger amounts of toxins from algae because they tend to swallow more water than humans while swimming, especially when retrieving toys from the water. They also lick their coats upon leaving the water, swallowing any algae that may be on their fur.

Dogs exposed to blue-green algae can experience symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, rash, difficulty breathing, general weakness, liver failure and seizures. In the worst cases, it can

cause death. If your dog experiences any of these symptoms after visiting a lake, seek veterinary care immediately.

There are currently no short-term solutions to fix a blue-green algal bloom. Once a bloom occurs, the only option is to wait for the weather to change to disrupt the algae’s growth.

“With intermittent rain, followed by high temperatures, blue-green algal blooms will be common on many Minnesota lakes this summer,” said Steve Heiskary, an MPCA research scientist.

Excess phosphorus in lakes provides the food necessary to produce algal blooms. Aside from limiting applications of fertilizers that contain phosphorus, homeowners can help protect lakes by sweeping up lawn clippings and soil off sidewalks and pavement, and cleaning up pet waste, so that rain storms don’t wash the material into nearby lakes and rivers.

Couple balances art and agriculture at home farm

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

LAKE ST. CROIX BEACH — She’s a dancer. He’s an actor. But the rest of the time, married couple Kayla Schiltgen Elefson and Eric Elefson are both farmers at their home, also known as Turtle Hare Farm.

Their outdoor garden boasts an impressive bounty—carrots, cucumbers, kale, heirloom tomatoes, potatoes and more—but the farm’s secret ingredient is found in the basement of their nearby home: microgreens.

Microgreens are exactly the same as regular vegetable greens, except they are harvested much, much earlier, while the plants are little more than shoots. The variety of microgreens is extensive, including everything from arugula, sweet peas, cauliflower and even sunflowers (which when plucked young taste just like a sunflower seed, said Eric). The greens take minimal time and energy to produce (usually around seven to 14 days from plant to harvest) and can be grown in shallow soil under an indoor light source.

Microgreens also contain concentrated amounts of vital nutrients, easy to add to numerous dishes for a vitamin boost.

“So when you’re thinking about getting your daily dose of vitamins or vegetables, rather than popping in your chalky vitamin, you can throw a handful of microgreens on top of an egg or into a salad or a smoothie, or mix them into a stir fry,” Kayla said.

“I’ve actually just taken them in a Tupperware and eaten them that way.”

The couple’s interest in farming germinated after Kayla suffered a back injury last year due to her physically demanding job as a dancer and choreographer. A doctor recommended she take a break from her intensive sched-

ule. Although she felt that her identity as an artist was threatened, she realized that the reduced number of hours would give her time to recover from some of the artistic burnout she’d been experiencing. She said the doctor’s recommendation gave her permission to explore other interests, so she decided to take an agriculture class with the Women’s Environmental Institute in North Branch. Soon, she realized that dividing her time between art and farming provided a healthy balance for her psychological well-being.

“Now I think, why didn’t I do that earlier?” she said. “Because I feel so much more fulfilled, and I feel that my art is better.” Starting the farm has been a healing process, in more ways than one.

The couple then enrolled in a program from the Land Stewardship Project called Farm Beginnings. This helped the pair develop a “quality of life” statement, which applies not only to their goals for their farm, but to their overall happiness and personal productivity. For Turtle Hare farm, one of the biggest essentials was a philosophy of sustainability. Much of their equipment has been recycled from other farms—many of Kayla’s family members are active in the farming community—or designed out of durable materials, such as their unique irrigation system. Instead of purchasing a tiller, they till by hand with a broadfork, which has proved almost more efficient for their smaller farm plot. They also minimize the amount of plastics used in their farming practices, opting to purchase a special soil blocking tool that eliminates the need for seedling cups.

The entire process has been a learning experience for both of them.

“One of the things that Eric and I are finding is that so much is allowing us to learn about each other’s person-

alities and strengths, in a way that we kind of knew, but it’s exemplified through this,” Kayla said. “I need to do all this research before I put something in the ground, and Eric is like, ‘Can we just plant it, and learn that way?’”

“And both are extremely valid ways of learning, but it’s how we can make those mesh together,” Eric said.

They both also retain day jobs—Kayla is currently choreographing “The Little Mermaid” at Rosetown Playhouse in Roseville, and will join Eric in working at the Women’s Environmental Institute over the summer. Turtle Hare Farm offers them both a break.

“It’s allowing us a lot of freedom to be able to continue learning,” Kayla said.

For them, sustainability also means forming a connection with the community. In their first few months, the farm has already allowed them to form a deeper connection with neighbors, which they hope to build on in the future.

“For the first two years we didn’t really connect with our neighbors, because we were shy and our hours are very weird because we’re at rehearsal at very random times,” Kayla said.

“But we’ve had more interaction and connection with our neighbors in the last three months than we’ve had in the last two years. They’ve come over and said ‘Hi’; they’ve asked us what’s happening.”

Kayla and Eric were both raised on family hobby farms—he in River Falls, Wisconsin, and she in Hugo—and have fond memories of growing up with an

appreciation of the land. Kayla was involved in 4-H when she was young, and maintained an interest in agriculture and theater throughout her participation.

Eventually, the couple hopes to have a salad CSA to serve the immediate community. They want to do as much as possible to reduce their carbon footprint, even going so far as considering bicycle delivery for customers.

“The goal would be to be able to deliver by bicycle,” Kayla said. “Right now so many CSAs are miles and miles out, and they’re delivering to the cities once a week, and we see that as a problem when we think about sustainability.”

Since microgreens can be grown indoors year-round, they also hope to establish a winter CSA and establish accounts with local restaurants.

The couple is constantly experimenting with growing new products (a couple of recycled, straw-filled feed bags strung up in the basement hopefully will soon be home to a colony of oyster mushrooms) as well as new and more sustainable methods.

Kayla and Eric will bring some of their microgreens to the Afton and White Bear Lake farmers markets this summer. They are working on starting up a website, and maintain an active Turtle Hare Farm Facebook page.

They are excited to see their business—literally—grow quickly in the next few months.

New York gallery debut: 15 years in the making Editor’s note: The Press conducts email interviews from time to time with White Bear area natives doing interesting things in places near and far.

This week we feature an interview with a White Bear grad who debuted her first gallery show, "Displacement," at Equity Gallery in Manhattan last fall. The show featured 11 paintings of Colombian refugees, whom she painted while living in the outskirts of Bogota.

thus far?

The highlight of my career, thus far, was the 2013 opening reception in Bogota where my subjects, Colombian refugees, were able to attend and engage with visitors as the guests of honor. Imagine standing in a gallery space the size of a small airplane hangar, watching two groups of people (one marginalized and mostly invisible; the other, the aristocratic and cultural elite of the country) interacting and being warm and curious toward each other. Including refugees, now my friends, in paintings, made them feel not just seen but validated and important, giving them an immortalized “place” in the world.

Now with this show in Manhattan, it is hard to describe how gratifying it feels to work so hard on your art, to fi nally have it not only acknowledged but very genuinely celebrated and appreciated, as discreet works of art and as a form of social justice to an ignored population. This body of work has been a life highlight, really.

Name: Meghan Keane Age: 33 Hometown: White Bear Township Education: 2001 graduate of White Bear Lake Area High School Current location: Brooklyn, New York After graduating from White Bear Lake Area High School in 2001 with scholarship from the Brosious Foundation, Girl Scouts, and other local awards, Keane attended Parsons School of Design (fashion and architecture) for two years. Subsequently she studied abroad at Universidad de San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador and switched her major to fi ne art. She transferred to Brooklyn College, where she received the prestigious Furman Award for research and study abroad. She lived in Paris for six months and attended the Université de Paris studying 20th-century French literature and took studio art courses and participated in apprenticeships with artists on the side. She ultimately graduated from Brooklyn College in 2007 with a BFA summa cum laude in Studio Art.

Q: How might fellow WBLAHS grads remember you?

Fellow graduates might remember me as someone very interested in fashion and art. I had an internship with Saint Paul artist and clothing designer Katherine Tilton during

my junior and senior years of high school; I also attended a fashion course for high-schoolers at Parsons during my rising senior summer, so spent a lot of time thinking about, talking about, and working on fashion designs. I sewed my own prom gown and custom designed a prom dress for one of my classmates. In school I was always doing some-

thing creative: drawing, painting, playing flute etc., so I imagine that might be what is remembered.

Q: How did you start in art? Was there a local experience that had the most influence on your motivation and/or career?

I got started making art through classes at school. One of the biggest local opportunities that changed my view of making art was being commissioned by a local restaurant owner at the time, Lisa Bowman, to do a series of flower paintings for their new restaurant. I did it, had fun, and made my fi rst real art sale, right after graduating high school.

Retrospectively, it is somewhat ironic that the painting sales came so easily, as I then spent a year doing fashion in New York, and another year doing architecture, before I fully realized that I was ignoring this painting talent that came very easily to me. Another local experience that left an impact was painting class murals with Mr. Lou (Ferreri), the art teacher. He was from Brooklyn and was very encouraging of me pursuing my dreams, of giving New York and an arts career a shot.

Between Lisa, Katherine and Lou, I was very fortunate to have had such support in pursuing art, something that many people consider a somewhat imprudent, or at least unstable, path. Their encouragement and support undoubtedly impacted my career decisions.

Q: What are your overall career goals?

My core career goal is fairly basic: to have the time, space and fi nancial resources to make the work I want to make and to earn enough to be sustainable and in the black over the long haul of life. Beyond that, larger career ambitions include fi nding the right gallery to represent my work and exhibiting at universities and museums. A museum retrospective would be great; dream big, right? I’m working up to it. I would love to go back to school in order to spend two or three years dedicated exclusively to painting, especially now that, after 15 years exploring, I have a clearer vision of what I am interested in artistically.

Q: What is the highlight of your career

The most rewarding aspect of my art career has been the privilege of living a life of freedom. I have never had a full time job in my life and I live my life almost entirely on my own terms.

The most challenging aspect of being an artist is the lack of stability. However, being challenged by uncertainty on a daily basis is also beautiful for the resilience, optimism, and creative problem-solving skills one learns to cultivate.

Q: What might surprise readers about your experiences leading up to the gallery debut or what it is like to be you?

One thing that might surprise readers about my experience leading up to the gallery debut is how little time I spent on art! I have not completed a painting since November. I spend an unbelievable quantity of time on the computer, managing the functional aspects of being an artist. To compensate, I draw almost every day on the subway.

Drawing while in transit has been essential to my growth as an artist.

A lot of unexpected ideas show up in my subway drawings that don’t show up anywhere else.

Living in my shoes means each day is quite different. Some days are spent traveling to a painting session, others are spent networking, others are spent on taxes and billing clients, others are spent cooking food for the week and relaxing from having a life where work always follows you home. Days off the grid are mandatory. I do my most efficient work when the world is sleeping, so I stay up late regularly. The desk in my studio always has at least three beverages on it: water, juice or kombucha, and coffee. The trick is to make sure you don’t rinse your brushes in any of them by accident.

Q: Why did you choose Bogota and that project?

I was in Bogota visiting friends in 2013 and I had the occasion to lead a pro-bono art workshop at Fundacion Colombia Nuevos Horizontes, which is the foundation that welcomes recently displaced people. My friend Sebastian Ramirez Hernandez is researching internal displacement in Colombia for his anthropology dissertation, and graciously made the connection.

The foundation provides housing, food, clothing and support to people transitioning into a new, post-displacement life near Bogota, usually in a town called Soacha. The foundation director, Marino Rivera, and the refugees I met were some of the warmest people I have ever encoun-

tered, especially considering the situations they had faced. I left the foundation the night of the workshop feeling in my stomach that these new friends were people I wanted to help in any way possible. I felt an immediate potential to come back and paint foundation residents, to honor a very marginalized group of people by including them in a tradition they rarely have access to view, let alone participate in. I pitched the project, the foundation and a gallery in Bogota accepted, and I flew myself down seven months later to live and make paintings in person at the foundation.

Each person sat for me, live. Fortunately, the

The desk in my studio always has at least three beverages on it … The trick is to make sure you don’t rinse your brushes in any of them by accident. paintings have thus far been well received and opportunities continue to emerge; my collaborators and I continue to put feelers out to see where the paintings might fi nd a permanent home, or where they might travel to, next.

Q: What's in your five-year plan?

I work very intuitively and often wait to see what shows up in front of me, what might be interesting, fresh and inspiring to pursue. I have no clue what I will be doing in five years, however I have a tendency to go toward the things I’m bad at or unfamiliar with, and I dedicate serious energy to get better at them. I might not stay in New York forever. Or I might. We’ll see! Repeating oneself or being predictable is like death to an artist; I look forward to being surprised by where the journey has led me, five years from now.

For this year, I do have concrete projects on the horizon. I have one painting in a group show at SpaceCamp, Baltimore, curated by MICA Curatorial Practice ’17, and I was just invited to participate in a group show in Ecuador that involves creating soft sculpture of the jungle, an artistic protest against ongoing Ecuadorian Amazon exploitation. Lastly, I am traveling to Ireland and Greece this summer to paint landscapes, because I am terrible at landscapes.

Q: What else do you do in Manhattan? Do you have a part-time job or do you make your living as an artist?

For the last 15 years, I have made a living as an artist through original art sales in tandem with various freelance consulting projects, usually design- or teaching-related. Everything I do comes out of my artistic or creative problem-solving skill set. Some years I choose to spend more time on making work and less time doing promotion; those years I pick up longer-term consulting projects to sustain the time off from the sales hustle.

Not surprisingly, there is a direct correlation between art sales and the amount of time spent promoting the work.

Q: Do you have advice for area students considering a similar career?

LAURA MORETTI | SUBMITTED

time. Don’t take bad reviews of your work personally. Treat rejection as a plot twist and be on the lookout for what might be a better fit for your work and your life.

You don’t want challenges to harden you; stay soft, spiritually and creatively, but focused and resilient, professionally.

Favorite mantra: “Next bus.” Your journey will be your own and that is why it is great! The sooner that is understood, the easier things get.

Ask for what you want, and charge what you are worth, especially if you’re a woman. Trading pay for an opportunity has always paid off in my experience; just make sure you’re doing it thoughtfully. Opportunities come more frequently to those who ask, and to those who are respectful, have great follow through, and gain a reputation for being easy to work with.

Take reasonable risks. Enthusiastically court the unknown. And don’t be afraid to politely reach out to strangers with your crazy idea. I did, and it helped land me this solo debut show.

Q: What do you like to do when you're not working?

When I can, I either ride the subway to the Russian neighborhood by the beach or visit a part of New York City I have not explored yet. I get a lot of creative juice from seeing new things and being outside of my comfort zone.

One of my favorite things to do is call my parents and go for long walks halfway across Brooklyn.

Q: Do your parents still live in White Bear? What are their names? How often do you come home?

My parents, Kathleen and Tom Keane, are still White Bear Township residents. I visit them twice a year, winter and summer. The summer highlight is sitting in the backyard and doing nothing, just listening to lawn mowers, smelling freshly cut grass, and watching clouds migrate across the big Minnesota sky.

Q: Do you miss anything about White Bear or Minnesota?

Of course! My parents I miss the most. After that, I miss how nature is an active part of life in Minnesota, rather than something you try to fi nd in New York. I miss the freezing cold winters and how snow crunching under your feet sounds different depending on the temperature outside; snow crunches the best at about 3 degrees. I also miss the peace and quiet.

Q: When did you move to New York?

August 2001. I lived on Union Square as a Parsons freshman when Sept. 11 happened. Living through that semester in New York impacted me profoundly, as it undoubtedly did almost everyone worldwide. Having youthful proximity to danger and fear, and no cell phone at the time, all by myself in New York, transformed how I saw the world: I saw early on that life does not always turn out as planned, and that Americans, generally speaking, are profoundly lucky to not live with threats of violence daily, unlike many parts of the world and some parts of the U.S. As a result, I believe to whom much is given, much is expected. It is old-fashioned perhaps, but I think it is the obligation of those who are fortunate to use their fortune to make others’ lives more fortunate too. I hope to be remembered as someone who stood up for my fellow humans and who chose to see hope over fear.

Paintings are 73 inches high by 36 inches wide — approximately life-sized — and are installed on plywood, just as they were made on-site at the foundation, and exactly as they were displayed during the exhibition in Bogota in 2013.

Focus on making work that you’re proud of, that challenges you, and that feels somewhat personally vulnerable, whatever that means for you.

I have not yet found an MFA degree to be mandatory, however a solid art training coupled with a liberal arts education has opened almost all the doors I’ve walked through in my life. Parsons was one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I am still paying it off with zero regrets.

Stay curious and open and creative. Remember that not everyone’s input will serve you all the
