End of era for tire company BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
After 51 years, family owned and operated Venburg Tire + Service is closing. Shrinking margins, the trend to online purchasing and a changing demographic all contributed to the difficult decision for the McFarlane family. As the business prepares to close its doors July 3, Pat and Carol McFarlane want to thank loyal customers for their patronage, noting because of them, they’ve been able to be good community stewards over the years. The industry is moving in a different direction, Pat contends. “Independent tire dealers are becoming industry di-
nosaurs. We’re going the way of Sears.” Younger generations don’t value customer service like their parents and grandparents, he said, and the company’s customer base, the people who appreciate quality service, is dwindling as people age. “Service was the No. 1 thing we sold. Customer service is not important to millennials because they’ve never had it,” added the longtime owner. “They buy online strictly on price.” Carol’s parents, Keith and Irene Venburg, started the business in 1968 when she was a senior in high school. She marveled at the risk her father took SUBMITTED

As his mental capacities decline, Larry Largent’s wife Erica and his mom Jenny lean on each other to carry on their unexpected and untimely role as caregivers. “We cry a lot and support each other,” said Jenny, who moved to Campanaro Lane with husband Larry Sr. and their five children more than 30 years ago. “We try not to cry at the same time. We’d get nowhere.” Larry Jr. graduated from White Bear Lake High School in 2002, then pursued two master’s degrees, graduating summa cum laude from Bethel Seminary in 2017. Last spring, he moved back under his parent’s roof, along with his wife and three young daughters. The family decided that was how best to care for the 34-year-old husband and father who suffers from a rare brain disorder called frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The dementia is always progressive, always fatal and there is no known way to slow its rapid advancement. “FTD is rare,” Jenny pointed out. SEE BENEFIT, PAGE 8A

Less invasive milfoil to treat this summer BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Happy 4th of July.
Let’s keep your teeth sparkling. Call for an appointment.
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Survey results are in. It took five hours and a 14-foot, DNR-approved rake to check the lake for Eurasian watermilfoil. The June 13 survey precedes chemical treatment managed by the White Bear Lake Conservation District to kill the invasive weed. Results reported at the district meeting June 18 by Mike Parenteau, chair of the lake quality committee, reveal 56.4 acres require treatment. The cost will be under budget at $32,000, which leaves money left over to treat another invasive plant this fall: Phragmites australis. Treatment should be scheduled late this month or early July using Depth Charge, liquid triclopyr and 2,4-D. The same chemicals were used last year to treat 70 acres. Milfoil was found at an average depth of 8 to 11 feet so it's getting deeper, Parenteau noted. “We found new places close to the old places; it moves around.” The lake homeowner represents the city on the district board of directors. He's accompanied aquatics expert Steve McComas of Blue Water Science on the survey crew for years. Another invasive they'll watch next year is curly pondweed. A patch was identified in Commercial Bay but it's too late in the season to treat. In his monthly lake

quality report, Parenteau reported elevation at 925.12 feet, or about the same as last month. Lake level is 1.5 feet higher than last year. Water temperature is still chilly at 70 degrees. In other business at the June 18 monthly meeting, the board: • Approved swim buoys next to the Manitou Island Association private beach. Resident Harvey Mills explained to the board that the association owns 300 feet of lakeshore on the north side and would like a designated swim area. Mills learned how to swim
there about 70 years ago and he wants to teach his grandchildren there. Mills said they can co-exist with boaters but the association would like a 50x60 foot area roped off with buoys for safe swimming. District counsel Alan Kantrud said a designated swimming area is appropriate; the board agreed. • Approved a new fee schedule. Prices, unchanged since about 2010, will increase a minimal amount. Commercial dock fees will be $75, a $15 increase, and fourslip docks will be $60. Prices are effective in 2020. • Heard that two of the four No Wake buoys have been placed near Matoska Park. The remaining buoys will be placed this week. • Heard that signs for the anti-plastic campaign are ready for pickup. One has already been installed at Bellaire Beach. • Approved assessment rates for the five communities around the lake. They are less than last year.

Press building update
A
s many of you know, the snow storm in April 2018 caused the roof to collapse at the Press Publications building on Bloom Avenue. It has been a challenge for both the process of rebuilding, as well as the insurance claim. My last update was on Jan. 15, indicating that the steel bar joists were being installed and we hoped to be moved back in to the building by the time the grass was green. Well the grass has been green for a couple of months now and we are still navigating an intense and lengthy insurance claim that has held up construction. We are so grateful to the neighboring church that has been renting us space, our contractor, Don Peltier and Pelco Construction, the city of White Bear Lake and countless local vendors who have helped us along. All the walls are sheet-rocked and painted, offices complete, floors finished and break room, kitchen and coffee pot is up and running. We are excited for the news team to be moved back in this week and the finishing Publisher’s touches to be completed. As the doors are being re-keyed and security cameras View being fined tuned, we are thankful for Carter Johnson the community support — from the subscriptions and carrier tips from our readers to the kind gestures from local businesses like sending over lunch wraps and pizzas. We hope to have an open house soon to show off your “new” community newspaper office. We are excited to settle back in and learn how to operate again as a team under one very solid roof. Our staff have been inconvenienced this past year. I also apologize for any inconvenience this project has had on our readers, customers and youth carriers interviewing for their first jobs. We could not have done it without you. This insurance claim has been a huge learning curve for me. It might have been one of the most stressful things I’ve dealt with in my business career. With that being said, I recommend that everyone review your insurance policy. Know what you’re covered for, the limits in each area, and how your insurance company defines it. Businesses should consider whether a policy covers loss of income and what it would take to prove it. Our claim is reaching a level I never expected or predicted. We had some emergency reserves but not enough, and had to take a short-term loan to cover the re-build until the insurance came through. Many thanks go out to our staff and accounting team who keep great records. Hands-free law On April 12, our governor signed a bill for a Hands Free Law that will take effect Aug. 1. The new law will still allow people to make cell phone calls, use navigation apps, listen to music and text, but it needs to be hands free. This law seems to be a much needed addition to road safety. According to the mn.gov website, a driver cannot hold the phone or use it for video calling, live streaming, Snapchat, gaming, looking at videos, photos, or non-navigation apps, reading texts, scrolling or typing. You can only hold your phone for emergency assistance when there is an immediate threat to life and safety or when in an authorized emergency vehicle while performing official duty. Distracted driving has been around long before cell phones — fiddling with the first car radios and 8-track tapes, lighting cigarettes, putting on makeup, eating, and drowsy driving, to name a few. In many ways this law is long overdue, but with all new technologies the new laws take time to write, vet and implement. We all know the challenges with the accuracy of voice commands. I have been using voice recognition software for years and have learned, the hard way at times, it’s best to always proof your work. Get to know Siri, Alexa, or “whomever” will be helping you with voice commands on your cell phone. Start practicing using your hands free software, and not while you’re behind the wheel. Begin with simple commands and work your way up to a call behind the wheel. In time you will learn to love the hands-free options to make a call or send a message. Next they might want to consider applying this law to pedestrians, bikers, runners and others forms of non-motorized transportation. Now if we could all just learn how to zipper merge, smile and be kind behind the wheel, driving on Minnesota roads would be better and safer for everyone.

Stepping up to create a clean energy future
T
he science is clear: carbon emissions sent into the atmosphere from a variety of human sources threaten to upend our economy, our health, our national security and our very way of life. At a recent conference at the University of Minnesota’s Institute on the Environment, I joined local and state leaders, as well as energy and environmental experts from Minnesota Legislator and around the world as Lingo we shared our ideas for Tina Smith addressing climate h hi h I consider the change, which most urgent and existential challenge of our time. Those ideas - and the action they spur - can’t come soon enough. We’ve already seen the impact of warming temperatures, rising sea levels and extreme weather. The growing prevalence of hurricanes, wildfi res, flooding and tornadoes has already cost this country billions of dollars as communities are devastated, families are uprooted and
farmers are prevented from even getting into their fields. The science tells us the clock is ticking and that these worsening extremes will become the new normal unless we get to net-zero carbon emissions by midcentury. Younger generations get it. In a recent poll, half of Americans age 18 to 29 describe climate change as a “crisis that demands urgent action.” The good news is that they’re already leading on this issue because they understand that they’ll have to live with climate change’s disastrous consequences. We need to listen. One of the largest emitters of greenhouse gas is our electricity grid. In May, I introduced legislation that puts the U.S. on a path to achieve net-zero electricity emissions by midcentury, and by 2035 it would cut emissions by nearly 80% compared to 2005 levels. Under my plan, every company selling retail electricity would be asked to increase the amount of clean energy provided to its customers, with the recognition that utilities in different regions of the country will start from different places as they make the clean energy transition. My bill also encourages
companies to bring costeffective, emission-free technologies to market by incentivizing the development and deployment of those technologies. This includes long-term electricity storage, that can be turned on or off at any time to balance our electric grid. In 2019, none of us knows what a reliable, affordable, net-zero emissions electricity system will look like in 2050. What we do know is that we need to create clear cleanenergy incentives and then let all technologies compete in the marketplace. This means a resilient, reliable electric grid will be built on a combination of not only renewables like wind and solar, but also hydropower, nuclear power, long-term energy storage and even fossil fuels that use carbon capture technologies. My bill allows for that. Addressing climate change isn’t easy, and there is no one solution. We need to be open to all ideas, and all approaches that cut carbon emissions. Putting those ideas into action is what my legislation is about, and it’s what I’ll continue to push into the future. Tina Smith represents Minnesota in the U.S. Senate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
No regard for residents’ wishes What are our White Bear Lake Leaders drinking? It’s very clear the leaders in White Bear Lake do what they want, having no regard for what existing residents want. If Anne Kane, city planner, says that Linden Avenue can handle 5,000 cars per day, she must be referring to the structure of the road, not any logic. When the four-story Waters was built, their VP claimed they would only add about five cars per day on Linden Avenue. On Linden Avenue between County Road E and Cedar Avenue, there are three townhome associations, collectively representing at least 300 homes. People living in these homes range from young adults to the elderly, with everything in between. Plus, there are a lot of other cars and trucks that use Linden Avenue, avoiding Highway 61 for various reasons. Linden Avenue already gets busy! At 5,000 cars a day on Linden Avenue for 18 hours a day,
that would mean about five cars a minute driving by current homes that need to get their mail and get out of their driveways! Rush hour and lunch times could be 10 times more, based on how it currently is. And to think the “Rush Line” will eliminate a lot of cars, she must have a special crystal ball. To go from 200 to 8,000 riders per day on the bus to/from White Bear Lake is a wild dream. Another example of the arrogance and rudeness of some city leaders is Dan Jones berating Wendy Lee by saying “I’m sorry you aren’t here six months out of the year and enjoying your wealth while we plow snow...”. There aren’t many homes over $400,000 in White Bear Lake, unless you live on the lake. The Lee’s obviously managed and saved their money, so when retired they could live in a modest townhome and go south for the winter. What’s wrong with that? It doesn’t make them wealthy. It makes them responsible with money. We need a new council person in Ward 3.
Anyone with ears and eyes knows the city decides what will be done “behind the scenes” well before ever having public discussions. Diane Bennett White Bear Lake Linden Place Villas Association Board Member
Inconsiderate driver in white pickup Today (June 21) as I was driving north through town a white dodge pickup truck was tailgating me. He was on his cell phone and no more than two feet behind me. I was preparing to take a left on Eighth Street. I was just going to pass Seventh Street when he raced past me in the left turn lane. I am sure his father must be very proud of him for harassing an 83-year-old driver. Maybe he does not know how to read, but maybe one of his friends who knows this inconsiderate person will remind him someday he
might get to live to 83 and when other young, inconsiderate drivers harass him in the same way, he will remember this day. James M. Muellner White Bear Township
Song lyrics come to mind Reading the article on Page 9A last week, “Neighbors feel pushed out” June 19, reminds me of Joni Mitchell’s 1970 song, “Big Yellow Taxi” including the phrase, “Pave Paradise, and put up a Parking Lot.” Thinking about the “footprint” for a surface parking lot, a lot of homes could be spared if a multi-level parking ramp was built with funds from the $6 million budgeted for removing homes. You could even provide a “skyway” to the school so the winter journey would not be so cold. Tom Vanderpool Father of three White Bear Lake graduates White Bear Township

7 years in prison for auto store robbery BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — A Minneapolis man was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for interfering with commerce by robbery June 11. Tyrell Dandre Campbell, 24, of Minneapolis, was also ordered to pay about $3,000 in restitution for robbery of O’Reilly Auto Parts on County Road E in White Bear Lake, according to court documents. Campbell was an accomplice of Tony Lendell Reed, 33, of Tennessee,
who was sentenced to 20 years in prison on six counts of interfering with commerce by robbery in federal court May 29. He was also ordered to pay about $11,500 in restitution for six robberies of auto parts stores across the Twin Cities. The last of Reed’s Minnesota robbery spree took place in White Bear Lake in November 2017 after he spent several months targeting auto parts stores in the metro area. A jury found Reed guilty in February. Two other men have pleaded guilty to involvement in the other robberies.
Campbell and Reed entered O’Reilly Auto Parts on County Road E in White Bear Lake just before closing time Nov. 29, 2017, according to court documents. One had a handgun and the other said he did. They made the three employees lie face down; the hands of two employees were zip tied behind their backs. The third employee was told to empty the safe while a gun was held to the employee’s back. They then secured the third employee with zip ties and fled with about $3,000. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension DNA-tested zip ties used in some of the other robberies. The results were linked to Reed, according to court documents. The Minnesota FBI obtained call records from Reed’s cell phone via court order. Federal investigators built their case around the cell phone data, which showed the phone had been in close proximity to each of the robberies. A small piece of blue latex glove was found in a zip tie at the auto parts store in White Bear Lake. The DNA profi le matched Campbell’s.
RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:
Birchwood • A Mahtomedi man, 18, reported himself June 13 for knocking askew a stop sign at the corner of Oakridge Drive and Cedar Street while turning the corner too sharply with his car and boat trailer.
Grant • A Prior Lake man, 39, was cited June 10 on Highway 36 and Manning Avenue N. for illegal use of a wireless communications device while driving, after westbound Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies waiting at the light observed him manipulating a screen with all his fi ngers and thumbs. The driver said he wasn't texting, but entering an address on his GPS for work. • A St. Paul man, 43, was cited June 10 on Highway 36 and Manning Avenue N. for using a wireless communications device while driving, after deputies fi rst noticed him at the light, then followed him as he held his phone in the active position for an extended period of time. The driver told deputies he had glanced at a call
WASHINGTON COUNTY COURT BRIEF on his cell before declining it. When deputies asked to look at the call, the driver opened the phone to an active text message. When he quickly closed the text and opened up to his phone messages, deputies discovered that the most recent phone call was several minutes before the subject was observed to be busy on his phone.
Mahtomedi • Two Willernie girls were formally banned from the Holiday gas station in the 700 block of Stillwater Road June 10, after they admittedly tried and failed to shoplift items from the store. • A resident in the 800 block of Woodland Court on June 10 reported an ex-friend entering her home without her permission. The complainant will perform an inventory to see if any of her personal items have gone missing. • Two separate boaters were issued written warnings at 9:53 p.m. and 10:05 p.m. June 10 on White Bear Lake for operating a boat without navigation lights. • A resident in the 600 block of Gosiwin Avenue on June 12 reported a dirt pile in violation of an ordinance. The neighbor responsible for the illegal dirt pile agreed to move it.

After deputies couldn't fit the bike into their squad car, the resident volunteered to bring the bike to the apartment address on Stillwater Road labeled onto the bike.
Pine Springs • A pair of $200 Oakley sunglasses was reported stolen overnight June 12-13 from an unlocked vehicle parked in a driveway in the 3000 block of Oakdale Drive. Extra patrol was promised.

Making a court appearance earlier this month was Charles Pierre Rosch, 37, of Mahtomedi. He is charged with felony state lottery fraud. According to the court complaint, Rosch attempted to claim a prize by means of fraud, deceit or misrepresentation. Last April, a deputy was dispatched to Wildwood Wine and Spirits in Willernie on a report of lottery ticket theft. The store owner discovered tickets were missing. Some of the missing tickets had been redeemed at the liquor store. Since redemption receipts are time stamped, the deputy knew when to view store surveillance video. The video shows store employee Rosch redeeming the tickets. A few days later, the suspect returned three bottles of stolen liquor and apologized in writing to the owner. On April 10, a lottery investigator discovered that 13 stolen tickets were also redeemed at the Freedom gas station in Mahtomedi. Again, security video shows it was Rosch. The value of the stolen tickets was $103. Maximum sentence is 10 years and $50,000.

The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office Water Patrol and Dive Team responded to a call of a possible drowning at Memorial Beach about 4 p.m. June 20. No evidence of drowning was found and the witness disappeared, according to Randy Gustafson, communications coordinator. A person ran over to Ramsey Beach to alert the lifeguards that she thought she saw a child possibly drowning at Memorial Beach. The lifeguards then ran over to Memorial Beach with their gear and conducted a search. People at the beach didn’t know of any child in trouble, the lifeguards searched the water in the swim area, and the person who reported the problem was no longer on scene to assist the lifeguards when they couldn’t find anyone. The White Bear Lake Fire Department brought their boat into the area and did a side scan search but didn't find anyone in distress. Responding members of the Ramsey County Water Patrol and Dive Team, plus the Washington County Dive Team, conducted an expanded search beyond the marked swim area. No victim was located. There were no other witnesses of a swimmer in distress found in the area. Emergency responders never received a report of a missing person, noted Fire Chief Greg Peterson. Emergency responders looked for a victim until about 5:40 p.m.

BENEFIT: The Largent family is this year’s beneficiary of the Tour De Bar bicycle ride FROM PAGE 1A
“Only 10% of dementia patients get FTD and it’s even rarer in someone so young.” According to the Alzheimer’s Association, nerve cell damage caused by frontotemporal dementia leads to loss of function in those brain regions, which variably cause deterioration in behavior, personality and/or difficulty with producing or comprehending language. Larry Largent Frontotemporal degenerations are inherited in about a third of all cases. There are no known risk factors. Larry’s family started to notice slight changes in his personality fall of 2017. Minuscule hints that something was amiss began to transform into more concerning patterns, Erica recalled. Larry suddenly appeared to shut down; losing interest in everything, including his family, work, hobbies and spiritual life. “For anyone who knows Larry, this was absolutely out of character. Most baffling and scary,” Erica said, “was he didn’t seem bothered by the changes or even notice them occurring.” High school sweethearts (she was a Dahl then) married 13 years, Erica went into nursing after graduation while Larry pursued his passion for Biblical archeology. As a medical professional, she knew something was off but couldn’t pinpoint a cause. “I felt helpless because I didn’t know how to help him. I would ask him if he was sad, thinking it was depression, and he would say, ‘no, I’m fi ne.’ He couldn’t recognize changes, which made it more challenging.” When doctors at Mayo Clinic diagnosed the disorder last year, everything was in place, noted Erica. “We had moved in with Larry’s parents and were already functioning in a role of caring for him 24 hours a day. We had built-in teamwork even before we knew what we were dealing with.” The diagnosis came after five frustrating months of seeing neurologists, counselors and psychiatrists. The family had never heard of FTD until the October 2018 visit to Mayo. The telltale symptoms of the disease are readily apparent. Larry’s memory and his speech are declining. He doesn’t talk much and is unable to recognize emotion. “His expression is flat. There is a loss of empathy,” explained Erica. “That was one of the things that scared me most. Larry has always been so loving and kind and compassionate, especially towards our children. He isn’t able to relate emotionally.” The Largent family is the Tour De Bar’s 31st beneficiary. Their White Bear connection is strong. They were nominated by family members Jenny Meyer, Erica’s aunt who owns White Bear Glass with husband Jeff, and Diana Gertz, also an aunt, and her daughter, Vanessa House. House is a nurse in the White Bear school district. Erica’s dad is a jeweler at Joel B. Sherburne Jewelers downtown. Benefit proceeds will help them with medical care costs, medication, adult day programs and everyday basic needs. What does their future hold? “Every person is

different with this,” Erica replied. “I watch other people’s journeys through support groups online to help give me a framework of expectation. No one can tell us what this journey is going to look like. I try not to worry. It will kill me. I try to plan.” They focus on quality of life for their loved one and have every intention of caring for him at home. “It is step by step and day by day,” Erica said. “I have learned to be patient and not let myself live in a place of worry. We have a strong faith in God and I’ve never felt Him closer.” Their girls have been “amazing” in how understanding and patient they are with their father. “He was very devoted to the girls,” Erica said. “They have become very protective of him. I see how they’re handling it and I know they’ll be OK.” The Largents hold out faith that there is a bigger story.

derstood in the medical community. According to Erica, the signs of FTD were there on an MRI but no one saw it. “Larry was pigeonholed for being psychiatric because of his age.” Since there is no hope of getting back the Larry they loved, the family feels it their duty to be his voice as he loses more and more of his own. “We will share his story and honor who he was and is,” Erica wrote on his CaringBridge site. “We will continue to advocate for him, seek out the best treatments and care for him to the best of our abilities. And we will use what we’re going through to help others. It’s the only way we can make sense of it.” Erica will continue to take Larry most everywhere she goes unless it involves noise and crowds that overwhelm him. He becomes anxious easily. His parents will continue to take him to movies on Fridays. They will keep doing what they can while they can and live every day to its fullest, assured Erica, because “tomorrow is not promised.” She ends her journal entry with a passage from Hebrews 12: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles us. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”

When her father retired, Carol’s brother Keith II bought the company, continuing the same traditions as his dad, like keeping customers fi rst and managing the business with little debt. “He ran a tight ship,” recalled Pat, who bought the business from his brother-in-law in 1995.

Pam Thompson, a Mahtomedi resident and early education teacher, visited students at Hugo Elementary last month to talk about Haiti, read her books and help the students make bookmarks.
Elementary students learn how they can make a difference in Haiti BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD COMMUNITY PRESS EDITOR
There are only a couple of public schools in all of Haiti; many Haitian children cannot afford uniforms to go to school, and many of the teachers are uneducated. Mahtomedi resident Pam Thompson, an early childhood teacher, was determined to visit the country herself after her son returned from a high school mission trip to Haiti in 2012. In 2013, that became a reality. After returning from the country, she asked herself, “What can I do?” “I fell in love with the country and the people,” she said. “When I came back from Haiti, I was messed up — it wrecked me in a really good way. The way that I view life is totally different.” Thompson has visited Haiti five times — six in June. On her first trip to the country, she found out about Papillon Marketplace, an organization that was started by a woman who wanted to adopt a child from Haiti. While in Haiti, she found out a lot of the children who were up for adoption had parents who were alive but could not afford to care for them. Her mission became to provide jobs for at-risk mothers and fathers so they could keep their children. Artisans make jewelry, bags, apparel, books, mugs and more.
The Apparent Project Papillon Marketplace also has a sister company, a nonprofit organization called the Apparent Project, in which Thompson is very involved. The Apparent Project's mission is “to make the needs of Haiti known” and offer opportunities for Haitians so they can provide for themselves and their families. This can empower them to rise out of poverty and keep their families intact. The Apparent Project staff members work alongside the Haitian company that employs artisans. The organization
distributes and sells homemade products that are created from discarded materials such as cereal boxes and oil drums. The items are then sent to the U.S. to be sold through party boxes and fundraisers; the artisans are thus provided with steady employment and a living wage. Thompson has helped with both. In 2014, the organization began offering child care for the artisans’ children through AP Childcare. The AP Institute was also established that year to teach adults English and computer skills. In 2016, the organization created a preschool, AP School; AP Kindergarten followed in 2017. Future plans include adding more grades each year. “Most of the schools, even if they are privately funded, are not good schools in Haiti,” Thompson explained. “The teachers may not have an education; most teachers are not trained and many do not go to high school. What (the Apparent Project) found is they could afford the child care and the AP Institute but they could not afford to fund the school, because paying teachers was too much money so they needed to get donors.” Thompson wanted to get involved. “I am a teacher, I love kids and I am passionate about Haiti,” she said. “Teachers and families care about schools. I thought about what I could do that will impact (and) influence people here and tell them a little more about Haiti and get them interested in Haiti.”
Books and teacher kits In addition to writing two books, “Marcus: My Life in Haiti” and “Fransley and Francia, Our Haitian Life” based on real people she met in Haiti, Thompson created teacher kits, which she sells to interested teachers. The kits include digital copies of her books, Haitian money, activities, songs and ideas of how to teach students about Haiti.

into areas with poor soil because it heals soil that’s nitrogendeficient; clover takes nitrogen from the air, coverts it to a plantfriendly form & releases it into the soil; 2) Clover stays green even during the driest spells due to its deep roots & gives the visually pleasing aesthetic of a healthy lawn; 3) Clover brings ecological diversity by attracting bees with its nectar & other important insects which help sustain fruit trees, flowers vegetables & other plants; 4) Clover smells good, clover-rich lawns have a fresh & light smell that you won’t mind when lawn mowing, picnicking, or barbecuing as opposed to the more chemically-laden odor that fertilizer produces; and 5) Clover is resilient & its strength actually smothers other weeds. Growing clover does not allow room for typical lawn weeds to thrive, meaning the lawns you mow could be weed-free & beautiful.
IT’S FIREWORKS TIME - KEEP IT LEGAL & KEEP IT SAFE – With the 4th of July nearing, please keep in mind the following: Keep it legal – permitted fireworks include sparklers, cones & tubes that emit sparks, novelty items like snakes & party poppers. Prohibited fireworks include, but are not limited to firecrackers, bottle rockets, missiles, roman candles, mortars & shells. Keep it Safe - 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 1800 • 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.
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY – With the days beginning to get warmer we will find ourselves drawn to the many trails, parks, & just the outdoors in general. Take your safety into your own hands. Know that: • Pedestrians are given the right-of-way when crossing at an intersection that is or is not marked with a crosswalk. Be sure approaching vehicles can see you; make eye contact with or wave to the driver so you know they see you; wait until approaching vehicles have completely stopped & cross the road safely when appropriate. • Walk on the side of the street so that traffic is coming at you & walk as close to the edge of the road as possible. If it is getting dark, make certain you have on bright reflective clothing. Using a flashing light or flashlight will help drivers see you. • If you need to cross the street at a location other than a crosswalk or intersection, it is the pedestrian’s responsibility to yield to all traffic & cross only when the street is clear.

The visit was a part of the school's Hugo Story Series program. Each month, students all read a book together. In addition to reading the book, there is also a service learning project. With Thompson's book, the objective of the service learning project was “to raise and create awareness about the Apparent Project,” kindergarten teacher Hilary Farrington said. “It is important for them to know they can make a difference in our own community but also help the world.”
Trades of Hope Trades of Hope is a direct sales company that was started in 2010 by two moms and their teenage daughters. The purpose is to empower people out of slavery, trafficking and extreme poverty and allow them to provide for themselves and their families. Thompson became an entrepreneur with the company in 2016. “I decided that it fit with what I was doing with Papillon — now I would be able to partner with artisans from 16 countries (including Haiti), and Papillon is one of the artisan organizations that Trades of Hope purchases from,” she explained. “I get to wear beautiful, handmade jewelry, scarves and purses and have beautiful things in my home.”

Kindergarteners from Hugo Elementary make bookmarks. Each student was given a bead from Haiti and also made their own bead to be placed on the bookmarks.
She sells the items to people through parties, word of mouth and online. Up until the end of May, everything Thompson has done for Haiti was on a volunteer basis. Recently, she was offered a part-time position with the Apparent Project. Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or citizennews@ presspubs.com.
DNR asks motorists to ‘give turtles a brake’ The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is reminding motorists that turtles are crossing roads to nest this time of year. Motorists are asked to watch for them and, whenever possible, allow them to cross the road safely. Each year at this time, many female turtles move from lakes, ponds, wetlands, rivers and streams to nesting areas. They are looking for suitable locations to deposit their eggs. Many nesting areas are a significant distance from turtles’ wintering areas. As they attempt to cross roads, moving at a turtle’s pace, many are hit and killed by cars. Roadway mortality is believed to be a major factor in turtle population
declines throughout the United States. “Wildlife rehabilitators have noticed an increase this year in turtles brought in with cracked shells after being struck by cars,” said DNR herpetologist Carol Hall. “Turtles pre-date dinosaurs by millions of years, and they’ve outlasted them. But, if we want them to be around into the future, we should lend a hand.” Helping turtles safely cross roads can help preserve Minnesota’s turtles, Hall said. She provided a few pointers: • Allow unassisted road crossings. When turtles can safely cross roads unaided due to a lack of oncoming traffic, allow them to do so. Observe from
a distance and avoid rapid movements, as doing otherwise will often cause turtles to change direction, stop, or seek shelter within their shells. • If necessary to pick them up, all turtles except snappers and softshells (also known as leatherbacks) should be grasped gently along the shell edge near the mid-point of the body. If it is a snapping turtle or softshell turtle, try to use a car mat and pull it across the road. Many turtles empty their bladder when lifted off the ground, so be careful not to drop them if they should suddenly expel liquid. Avoid excessive handling that can disrupt turtle behavior.
• Maintain direction of travel. Always move turtles in the same direction they were traveling when encountered. Turtles should always be moved across roadways in as direct a line as possible. • Help document turtle crossing and mortality areas by participating in the Minnesota Turtle Crossing Tally and Count Project. More information can be found at mndnr. gov. • Turtles injured while trying to cross the road may be taken to your nearest permitted wildlife rehabilitator. More information about Minnesota’s nine turtle species is available on the DNR website. Press release

Liberty Classical Academy graduate Ryan Grill, of Hugo, received a $56,000-a-year scholarship to attend Georgetown University in Washington D.C.
Liberty Classical Academy 2019 grad Ryan Grill, of Hugo, received a $56,000-a-year scholarship to attend Georgetown University this fall. Annual tuition is about $78,000. Grill has attended the private primary and secondary school in White Bear Lake since kindergarten. He considered a few different colleges, Creighton and Pepperdine among them. These opportunities weren’t a result of any one particular aspect of his student qualifications, according to Liberty. They were a combination of all of them. Regarding tuition, Grill was able to use his reasoning skills in nego-
tiating college expenses. He spoke with the deans of two different schools multiple times and was able to ask for more fi nancial assistance in paying for his tuition. Ultimately, his negotiating paid off. Liberty Classical Academy noted Grill embodies the values of the school. He’s social, with a confidence that isn’t arrogant. He’s committed to Christ, sharpening his faith while giving of his time and energy to serve. He’s active and was a three-sport athlete at the school. Submitted

Loon Chronicles IV: Blame it on the full moon “Another busy, but disappointing week, on White Bear Lake. The time has come and gone for successfully establishing a nest. It is probably safe to say that the summer of 2019 will be another chickless summer. Behaviors are becoming more social and less territorial with nesting and all the attendant responsibilities no longer in the equation. During some of our early morning outings, we counted up to six Loons, with another four to five calling and flying overhead. We did observe one sudden burst of aggression after a ‘drop-in’ Loon got a little too friendly with a female that had been enjoying the quiet morning with her mate. The flare up did not last long and the interloper quickly took off and headed to the other side of the lake, coming within inches of our boat. On a happier note, we are delighted to report the arrival of a new visitor, a mature juvenile or “subadult” Loon, that spent most of the week in the bay near our dock. The young visitor appeared curious, playful, and simply enthralled with being a Loon. It is always fun watching the juveniles learning how to master some of the adult signature behaviors like the wing flap and foot waggle and lucky for us, we were treated to several performances throughout the week.” Ellen Maas

Bears pitcher Schoeberl Gopher recruit and Mr. Baseball finalist BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Trent Schoeberl attracted tons of positive attention as a high-school pitcher despite playing on a White Bear Lake team that didn't win much. The 6-5, 190-pound right-hander was signed by the Minnesota Gophers last November, and on Sunday, he was one of seven Mr. Baseball fi nalists honored at Target Field. The Bears were just 16-51 in Schoeberl’s three years, including 3-19 this spring, with their ace picking up two of the wins, one of them a no-hitter. He was 3-3 as a junior with 24 strikeouts in 24 innings. Also a shortstop and a fi ne hitter, he made all-conference as a sophomore and senior. Schoeberl got most of his exposure to college scouts with his summer team, the Minnesota Blizzard, the last two years. This summer, he is playing for a team in New York State, and flew home Saturday for the awards program. The Mr. Baseball and Miss Softball fi nalists were honored at the 2019 Play Ball! Minnesota
luncheon at the home of the Twins. Honors went to pitchers Drew Gilbert of Stillwater and McKayla Armbruster of Faribault. Schoeberl was one of seven high school seniors signed by the Gophers on Nov. 15. He was ranked highly by two scouting services. Perfect Game tabbed him as the state’s No. 3 right-handed pitcher and No. 5 overall player. Prep Baseball Report had him No. 4 and No. 10. "Trent possesses two of the most sought-after attributes of amateur pitchers: height, and the ability to sink the fastball,” said Gopher pitching coach Ty McDevitt, in a report on the signings posted on gophersports.com. “Trent competed on the national stage against some of the best competition in the country” with the Blizzard, McDevitt noted. Schoeberl’s future pitching coach predicted, “We expect Trent to blossom into a power arm with the ability to sink the baseball and get collegiate hitters out very early in his career.”

Century College 4th at nationals in coach’s final season BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The Century College baseball team placed fourth at the national tournament, in the ninth and fi nal season under Hall of Fame coach Dwight Kotila, this spring. The Wood Ducks had a 38-12 record, including 2-2 at the National Junior College Athletic Association’s Division III tournament in Tennessee. Kotila, also the school’s athletic director, has stepped down after taking five of his Wood Ducks nine teams to nationals. Kotila took two other junior college teams to nation-
als before arriving at Century. His replacement is Josh Threlkeld, former University of Minnesota-Duluth player and assistant coach at Duluth and Minnesota-Mankato. Kotila, recently inducted into the NJCAA Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame, will be honored by the St. Paul Saints on July 18. He will throw out the fi rst pitch for a game against the Kansas City T-Bones. One of Kotila’s former players, Ryan Schlosser, is a pitcher with the Saints. The Wood Ducks top hitters this year were Alex Evenson and Erik Swenson. Evenson (from Minnehaha Academy) hit .372 with 51 RBIs
and four of the team’s 12 homers. He had 16 doubles, six triples, and 42 runs. Swenson (Bloomington Kennedy) hit .401 with 11 doubles, two homers and Dwight Kotila 45 RBIs. Robert Isenhour (Georgetown, Texas) hit .361 and led with 48 runs and 31 steals.
Matt Nunn (Edina) hit .356, Andrew Peters (New Ulm) hit .341, Brady Zackrison (Hutchinson) hit .329, and Justin Hoffmann (New Ulm) hit .327. Austin Strantz (Park-Cottage Grove), playing in 28 of the 50 games, hit .529 with 15 runs. Brendon Knoll (Kasson-Mantorville) was the mound mainstay with 9-2 record, 2.35 ERA and 88 strikeouts in 69 innings. Joey Atkinson (St. Cloud Apollo) was 5-1 and 3.35, Brody Curtiss (Belle Plaine) 5-2 and 4.19, and David Van Ort (Stillwater 4-1) and 3.82.

Local enthusiasts push for skate park BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
What this town needs, says Mahtomedi resident Ben Ludwigson, is a good skate park. And, with input and urging from a small group he heads, the first step to build one has been approved. “I always skateboarded while growing up. My dad would drive me to 3rd Lair Skatepark in Minneapolis, and he built a mini-ramp in our driveway,� Ludwigson said. “I’m 28 now, and still love skateboarding. I would love to share the experience of a local skatepark with others in the community.� Skateboarding has been added as an Olympic sport, starting in 2020 in Tokyo, showing its growing popularity, he noted. What’s available now, locally, for skateboarders is Ojibway Park in Woodbury, Richard Walton Park in Oakdale, and a small setup at Podvin Park in White Bear. Ludwigson said the best option is a custom concrete skate park that “will cost more initially, but will require much less maintenance,� as opposed to building an asphalt or concrete pad with movable modular ramps that don’t stand up well to our harsh climate. “We presented a plan to the city of Mahtomedi, and after three or four meetings, they agreed,� said Ludwigson. The city public works department approved donation of land for the park, but not funding for it, in January, confirmed Bob Goebel, in charge of that division. “If they can come up with the money, I would guess it will happen,� he said, adding that nothing has gone to the City Council yet. Wedgewood Park is the chosen site for the project. Ludwigson surveyed the location. He estimated that 7,500 square feet would be needed at a cost of $40 per square foot for the park he envisions, so
they are looking to raise $300,000. Park planner Candice Amberg agreed that the $300,000 figure would suffice. The park would need to accommodate skateboards, scooters, bikes, and inline skating. To raise the funds, Ludwigson said, donations of materials and funds from local companies will be sought. There’s a bill before the state Legislature for a skate park grant in the amount of $8.2 million to provide matching funds. Another possible source is a Minneapolis-based group, City of Skate, which revamps old modular parks and spearheads erecting new skateparks in existing parks. Such parks have been built in Maple Grove, Plymouth, Eden Prairie, Burnsville, Eagan, Woodbury and Oakdale, said Ludwigson, who has visited the groups responsible at each site to pick their brains. Ludwigson and three other adults formed Mahtomedi Skate Park Initiative to push this project. They plan to launch an app and a website soon. Anyone who wants to get involved can contact him at luddyben@gmail.com or call 651-3246763. “Skateboarding has no age limit. I’ve skated elbow to elbow with youth as young as five, and men as old as 55,� Ludwigson noted. He recently visited a skate park in Oakdale that was overrun with youth who wanted to skate, while adjacent ball fields and tennis courts were not being used at all. “Not everyone wants to participate in team sports, and some families don’t have the money for them, either,� Ludwigson observed. A free skate park is an opportunity to have fun for hours, be creative, work on balance and discipline, and build self confidence, he said. And: “It gets kids away from screens, and gives them an avenue to be active.�
White Bear baseball honors listed White Bear Lake baseball had two players named to the all-Suburban East Conference team this year: senior Trent Schoeberl and sophomore Spencer Oxton. Schoeberl, senior pitcher and shortstop, was named team MVP. Getting honorable mention were senior Ethan Deutsch, senior Casey Valento, and sophomore Cade Kodytek. Deutsch also got the team’s Jack Anderson Award and Youth Ambassador Award. Bruce Strand

White Bear Lake softball awards listed Emily Price, senior pitcher, was named Most Valuable Player on the White Bear Lake softball team that finished 6-12. Price and Kari Breuer, senior infielder, were all-Suburban East Conference picks, and designated as team offensive and defensive players of the year, respectively. Selected for the all-section team were Price and senior outfielder Madyson Peterson. All-conference honorable mention went to junior Olivia O’Connor, sophomore Mikayla Stowe and Peterson. Other team awards went to Annika Koll (Bear award) and Peterson and Stowe (hardest workers). Price did most of the pitching, posting a 3.04 ERA. She hit .415 with four homers and 15 RBI. Breuer hit .338 and scored 20 runs. Stowe hit .306 with nine RBIs. Bruce Strand

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — The City Council took the following action at its June 18 meeting: • By a vote of 4-0 (Councilman Steve Wolgamot absent) approved a request from property owners at 250 Old Wildwood Road for a variance to construct an oversize garage and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to create an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The variance asks to be allowed an additional 334 square feet to the maximum allowable accessory structure size of 1,250 square feet. The CUP asks for the ADU to be built on the property. • Approved election judges for the Nov. 5 General Election. Each of the city's two precincts (at the District Center and St. Andrew's Church) will be staffed by 14 judges. On the ballot will be the mayor's seat and two city council seats. • Approved Construction Pay Voucher No. 1 for the Echo Lake improvement project in the amount of $307,900 to T. A. Schifsky and Sons, Inc. • Approved a request for a one-year extension of a conditional use permit at 124 Juniper St. The original CUP was approved one year ago and was granted to allow for an accessory dwelling unit to be constructed. Construction on the ADU has not yet begun, thus the need for the extension. • Approved Construction Pay Voucher No. 9 (final) for Briarwood area improvements and the Quail Street utility extension in the amount of $57,800
to T. A. Schifsky and Sons, Inc. • Hired an accounting clerk at a (Step 6) annual salary of $58,240. The candidate has 14 years of local government accounting and administrative experience. The hiring is contingent on the successful completion of a criminal background check and drug test. • Approved a premises permit to allow the Mahtomedi Youth Hockey Association to have a gambling permit for purposes of fundraising at Forster’s Dugout Bar, 96 Mahtomedi Ave. • Heard an announcement that Mahtomedi will be presented with a GreenStep Cities Sustainable City award at the League of Minnesota Cities annual conference to be held June 26-28. • Heard the construction update from City Engineer John Sachi. 1. Phases 1 & 2 of the Echo Lake Street Improvement Project now have asphalt, curb and gutter. 2. Phase 3 of the Echo Lake Street Improvement Project has not yet started as the city waits for the contractor for underground work to arrive. 3. Work on Historic District Phase 3 is near completion, as contractors finish working on the punch list. The city is now preparing the feasibility report for Historic District Phase 4. 4. Grading at Chautauqua Park will begin next week. 5. The Briarwood improvement project, described

I think I cursed us. I mentioned how dry its been, and what happens? It rained on some events that I had planned outdoors. First White Bear Lake’s Thursday Night’s Marketfest setup was done in a light rain; it was dry during the event but the crowd was low. My big Sunday run was interrupted by passing showers. Truth is I never made it out the door. Rain totaled an even 2.00 inches Sunday and into Monday morning. Friend Jan, from church, is welcoming some folks from the old country, Naples, Italy. (My grandfather was from there.) Our weather here may be a break for them as the forecast for Naples calls for 90’s and sunny skies. Finally congratulations to my running friends who ran in near perfect conditions in Duluth for Grandma’s weekend, 50’s and low humidity.

8. Work on the Stillwater Road/CSAH 12 project has been described as difficult as all the work is being done by private utility companies, and the contractor will not start work before July 9. That contractor will compress his work and plans to finish work up to Glenmar Avenue by end of the construction season. 9. The MnDOT closure of Highway 244 from Birchwood Avenue to Old Wildwood Road to repair a sink hole started June 17 and was expected to be done by June 21. Although the detour was marked, many people found alternate routes through residential areas that has frustrated residents. The Washington County Sheriff's Office was asked to be on patrol to prevent people from circumventing the detour and going the wrong way on Old Wildwood Road. 10. The St. Andrews project started with much tree removal. Many red pines were dying, and construction preparation was the best time to thin those trees, the city forester said. The council next meets at 7 p.m., Tuesday July 2 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

White Bear Lake grad and Hugo resident Tami Enz launched her own clothing line, Just for Littles, in January. She is pictured with daughters Aubrey and Zada.

Mom designs clothing to complement sugar and spice BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD COMMUNITY PRESS EDITOR
Tami Enz grew up spending her summers at her grandmother’s store in McGregor, tagging products, doing inventory and running the cash register. In January, she launched her own children's clothing company, Just For Littles. “It all started with a passion for childhood. My daughter tried on a twirly dress years ago, and the sparkle in her eye and the giggles from her friends melted my heart. My oldest grew up right before my eyes, so it sparked some passion in me. I wanted to create clothing that would help keep little girls little for a little bit longer,” Enz explained. “I was searching for products to do that, and I just couldn't fi nd the perfect thing that my customers were looking for — so I decided to make it myself.” Enz, a Hugo resident, grew up in White Bear Lake and graduated from White Bear Lake High School in 2003. She has always had a passion for childhood things, so it is no surprise that she majored in child psychology at St. Cloud State University. After college she became a stayat-home mom to her four children: Aubrey, 11, Axel, 9, Aizer, 6, and Zada, 4. Enz was looking for an occupation she could pursue while at home with her children. She started her own online store, which carried other people's brands. “When I do something, I don't just do it little, I want to do it big,” Enz explained. She decided to launch her own company so she could design products just the way she wanted them. Just For Littles specializes in twirl dresses for girls ages 12-24 months all the way through 12 years. Enz designs all of the clothes herself; they are then manufactured in China. “We use special fabric.

tank tops and leggings. In addition to selling the clothes online and at various events such as Marketfest in White Bear Lake, Enz's products are also sold in stores throughout the U.S. including Los Angeles and New York. Jes Bissett, a resident of Becker, runs the company’s wholesale operations. In the end, it is seeing the girls' smiles and confidence that inspires Enz to keep designing clothes. “I love watching confidence come out of the girls when they put the dresses on. It fi res me up,” she said. “It is so much fun for them to twirl and dance. The adults smile and glow, and you can see the little girls' souls being fi lled up because their parents are stopping for a minute and noticing them and delighting in them.” For more information on Just For Littles, visit https://justforlittles. com or on Facebook at https://www. facebook.com/just4littles/.

Spanish church puts down roots SI VAS (IF YOU GO):
BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
Alfonso Morales didn't intend on becoming a pastor. It was a response to the love and care his family received when they fled Guatemala in the '90s and sought political asylum in the United States. Alfonso and his wife Vilma were social workers and helped the poor in tumultuous areas of Guatemala where guerrillas roamed the mountains. When political tensions rose, their family was no longer safe. They fled the country. “Christian families helped us a lot to start a new life here,� Morales remembered. “We learned about God.� Alfonso became a credentialed Assemblies of God pastor and his wife Vilma a lay minister alongside him as a way to thank God and give back by helping others. They planted a church in Columbia Heights five years ago. They started meeting in their garage with just a few people. Now, about 100 attend the church that rents space at St. Timothy's Lutheran in Columbia Heights and meets in 13 home fellowships across the Twin Cities throughout the week, including White Bear Lake. ICASA Igelsia Casa de Dios' (ICASA House of God Church) name describes what the church is all about. I stands for the Spanish verb ir, which means go. C stands for conectar (connect). A is for adorar (worship). S stands for servir (serve). A represents aprender (learn). The church's goal is to connect people with God and help them understand how they can be better parents, spouses, community members and “how to bless the city,� Morales said. The church does outreaches and community service projects. Last year, the church donated 10,000 pounds of food and hygiene supplies to families in need. “We think how we can help give to this country,� Morales said. “Our goal is to make a difference in the community.� The church is entirely volunteer-run, he added. He works at Regions Hospital full-time as a materials manager. The weeknight home fellowship group in White Bear Lake recently began to get too large for the apartment where it was meeting. It will now be meeting at First Presbyterian Church in downtown White

Bear Lake. ICASA was connected to First Presbyterian through a relative of Children's Ministry Director Shara Marquez, said Len Pattky, office manager. Morales hopes the weeknight home fellowship group grows even more and ICASA can expand its Sunday services to the east metro. “The goal is to plant a Spanish church here in this city,� Morales said. The church mapped the area
around First Presbyterian and found that there are an estimated 200 Spanish-speaking families within a few miles of the church. They have begun knocking on doors to invite people to fellowship. The White Bear Lake fellowship group meets from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays for coffee, prayer and Bible study, at 4821 Bloom Ave. in the Shalom Room. The larger church group meets at 2 p.m. Sundays at 825 51st Ave. NE, Columbia Heights.

White Bear VFW Post gets recognition ST. CLOUD — Thanks to hard work by its members, White Bear Lake VFW Post 1782 received special recognition June 15 at the state convention. Post Commander Mike Lindvall received the white All-State Post Commanders Team hat that designates achieveMike Lindvall ments in areas like maintaining at least 100% membership, lobbying for veterans, and a strong auxiliary. Lindvall, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, was captain of the AllState Commander's Team, which this year included 120 qualifying Posts. “The competition was outstanding,” Lindvall said, “so it was a good win for the Post.” Auxiliary President Linda Osterbauer noted that the achievement is significant and as much a Post award as an individual award. “Without a lot of people doing their jobs correctly the commander would never get a White Hat,” she said. “The award signifies that the White Bear Lake VFW Post is the best in the state of Minnesota.” Lindvall stepped down as commander after the convention. The new VFW commander is Leo Cooke, who will serve a one-year term. Debra Neutkens

Three Scouts get the gold In a Recognition Ceremony earlier this month, three White Bear Lake High School Seniors received their Girl Scout Gold Award. The Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can receive and requires identifying a community need, creating and executing a plan to resolve this need and ensure its sustainability. The Math Blast Project by Sabrina Bush aimed to improve district-wide math scores and STEM learning in the Extended Day programs of nine elementary schools in the White Bear Lake District. Bins of activities and games for kindergarten to seventh
grade were provided to each school and was introduced to the schools this past school year. Through Maren Viker’s Local Literacy Initiative, a library geared towards schoolage children was created at a local homeless shelter. Additionally, a curriculum was designed to foster basic literary skills and promote a greater love of reading. After Maddie Lamwers learned that one in four women are sexually assaulted before they attend college, her project Decide Your Destiny was a focus on combating this issue. Working with local police, she helped codify and create a
