ERIC’S WINE PICK OF THE MONTH Cloud Line Pinot Noir Regular $21.99 Sale price $15.99. Airlie 7 White Blend Regular $14.99 Sale $11.99. Heck of a buy on the 2014 Cloud Line Willamette Valley Pinot. The 2014 vintage was a classic so take advantage of this wonderful pricing. Pinot Noirs just work so well for all of your summer entertaining. It works with a variety of foods like poultry, beef, fish, ham, lamb and pork. It will pair well with creamy sauces & spicy seasonings. It could be the world’s most versatile food wine. The wine has notes of dark berries, black cherries and crushed red fruits.
Well if we came up with the perfect summer red wine, we have to follow it up with the perfect white right? Airlie 7 is that wine in my opinion. This blend of seven white grapes is a refreshing and complex wine that appeals to all. Aromas of lemongrass, melon and pear lead into a velvety mid-palate that is lightly sweetened. This is offset by a juicy acidity which leads to a lingering finish with notes of pineapple. Enjoy on its own or with a variety of summer dishes.

Shocking numbers
A
s starkly divided as our society and the current political landscape appears to be, one thing that I would sincerely hope everyone can agree on is that something must be done to stop the rampant slaughter of innocent people — in places they and members of their family had every reasonable expectation to believe were safe. More than three years ago, following the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, I wrote a column addressing the issue of gun safety. I remember thinking at the time, if the murder of 20 children between the ages of 6 and 7 (innocent in every sense of the word) doesn’t create some positive change, what will? Angle of Sadly, the intervening years have only brought more shootings View and rising death tolls, with little, if any, progress in understanding or Paul Dols devising a strategy to address what has evolved into a volatile, divisive and complicated problem. I’ve seen an old adage describing insanity as doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting a different result. In what would qualify within that definition, each mass shooting provokes a predictable response on each end of the spectrum, resulting in impassioned rhetoric, followed by deadlock, until the next tragic event repeats the cycle. My previous column, published in February 2013, pointed to some revelatory information I discovered in an article titled “What we don’t know is killing us,” that was part of a New York Times series addressing gun violence. Key points at the time included that (20 years ago) pressure from the National Rifle Association (NRA) lobby helped shut down Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) studies that were making progress in studying gun violence as a health problem instead of strictly a law enforcement challenge. The research focused on both the gun and the user, similar to the way researchers have — for years — been focusing on both drivers and cars as a way to study and reduce motor vehicle fatalities. What may have provoked the political lobby pressure is that — contrary to the message promoted by the NRA — some of the CDC studies found that people living in homes with guns were not safer, but actually faced an elevated risk of homicide and suicide. Last week, following the mass shooting in Orlando, the NPR program Science Friday devoted a segment titled “What We Do (and Mostly Don’t) Know About Guns” to the issue of the lack of research into approaching gun violence as a public health issue. According to the Science Friday website, from 1973 to 2012, a combined total of 2,068 cases of cholera, diphtheria, polio, and rabies were reported in the United States. More than four million firearms injuries were also recorded. Yet, during that same time period, the National Institutes of Health funded 486 studies of those four infectious diseases, while funding only three on firearm safety. The stark contrast in research funding appears to indicate that gun violence is not taken seriously as a public health issue and political lobbies have been successful at stalling impartial scientific studies. I keep going back to the guns and automobiles analogy because it takes a lot of the volatility, fear and emotion out of the equation. Over the past fifty years motor vehicle deaths per mile have decreased dramatically in the United States. When the first motor vehicle safety studies were conducted, I don’t think there was a hidden agenda to ban automobiles. If a similar public safety approach and set of standards for both manufacturers and owners is allowed to be applied to firearms, maybe we can break the cycle of insanity and figure out a way to live as safely (as possible) in a society that accepts the risks and benefits of gun ownership.

Always something fun at the park
S
chool is out, but the learning and fun never stop at Ramsey County Parks. There are lots of organized and informal activities going on at the County Parks. You can count on there being plenty of opportunity to explore and learn, all while getting some exercise and having a lot of fun. I love taking my grandchildren, Albert and Polly, for a stroll on the Keller Movers & Lake Boardwalk or to Tamarack Shakers Nature Center to watch them play Victoria Reinhardt and explore Discovery Hollow. Discovery Hollow is in Tamarack Nature Center’s backyard and is designed for a little less focused play in a natural setting. Kids can learn about water flow by building dams (The Stream), play in the mud (The Mud Table), build a tree fort (The Wood), climb the cliffs (The Overlook), help grow plants, pull weeds and water (The Garden), or even crawl around in The Hobbit House. In addition, the drop-in Discovery Stations are held from 10:00 a.m. to noon on the fi rst Saturday of the month through August 27 at Tamarack Nature Center. Upcoming topics, in order begin-
You can explore all that the parks have to offer, including beaches, boat launches and fishing pier locations, on our website www.RamseyCounty.us. ning with July 9, include: weeds and gardens; bees and beekeepers; dragons and damsels; prairie blooms; reps and phibs; seeds and fall planting; monarchs; and honey harvest. Tamarack Nature Center offers a variety of programs for kids and adults to learn about the natural world. At Snail Lake Regional Park you can participate in “Story Trail.” Simply walk along the trail system as you follow a story written by Deborah Heiligman about the journey “From Caterpillar to Butterfly.” The trail begins near the swimming beach and will be ongoing from July 9th through the 18th. The Battle Creek Waterworks features a three-story twisting waterslide, shallow pool with zero-depth entry, lily pad walk, sand play area, a sunbathing deck and lawn chairs, and a concession
stand. It is located in the Battle Creek Regional Park in south Maplewood. Check the website for hours and admission prices. A family bike ride on the regional trail system is a fun way to spend an afternoon together. You can go from Stillwater to Saint Paul and points beyond on the offroad trail network. Many people attended the planning sessions recently about a national bike route coming through our community. The national bike route will span the United States from Canada to Mexico, so you have something to work up to if you ever get bored riding around Ramsey County. Bird watching is becoming more and more popular. More than 240 identified bird species have been spotted in Ramsey County. You can visit the website and download the Birding Location Maps and the Bird Checklist to track your progress. You can explore all that the parks have to offer, including beaches, boat launches and fishing pier locations, on our website www.RamseyCounty.us. or you can visit www.GoRamsey.com to explore the park and recreation system in a map based format that will show you what opportunities are near you and the safest ways to bike or walk to them.

ith apologies to Walt Whitman, grass leaves (blades) are small in our lawn, but grow to prominence in the many ornamental grasses now available. They are low maintenance and deer-resistant, have few insect or disease problems, come in many different colors and heights, and often have attractive plumes. Let’s learn more about ornamental grasses. A few of the many ornamental grasses and sedges are listed below. Except as noted, they are clump grasses, hardy in zone 4, and like full sun. Miscanthus, the most popular ornamental grass in the U.S., blooms in late summer and has prominent white plumes: Miscanthus sinensis ‘Variegatus’ is 4 feet tall with showy, white foliage; ‘Purpurascens’, red fl ame miscanthus, is 4-5 feet tall with red foliage; ‘Giganteus’, giant miscanthus, grows to 10 feet. Native little bluestem typically is 3 feet tall and cultivar ‘Blue Heaven’ is 4 feet tall. Both have excellent fall color

Leaves of grass and are a preferred plant for skipper butterfl ies. Another native, red switchgrass, blooms in late summer and is 4-5 feet tall. Native tufted hairgrass, 4.5 feet tall, is one of the fi rst to green up in the spring. It grows well in shade. Other popular grasses in Minnesota are feather reedgrass ‘Karl Foerster,’ and cultivars Gardener’s newer ‘Overdam’ and Grapevine ‘Avalanche’. They bloom in June on 4 foot slim, upright Lynda Ellis stems. Fall blooming reedgrass has pink to green flowers in September on 4 foot stems. Blue oatgrass blooms in May on up to 5 foot tall stems. It declines in the heat of summer and can be cut back then. Ribbon grass is very showy, white with green stripes, non-clumping, about 3 feet tall. It is spreads rapidly in full sun, less so in part shade.
When we think of “leaves of grass” our thoughts now can range from the 1/8 inch width of blades of Kentucky bluegrass to the 2 inch width of blades of the giant miscanthus. Purple fountaingrass is not hardy in Minnesota and is sold as an annual for containers or flower beds. It can handle part shade. Sedges are grass-like plants that handle shade; all can tolerate wet feet and can be used in rain gardens or shoreline restoration. Their stems are triangular, not round as true grasses. Gray’s or mace sedge, 1-3 feet high, has flowers that look like a medieval mace; fox sedge is 1-3 feet high; palm sedge is 2-3 feet high. Grass clumps are usually planted in spring and are mature in 1-3 years. When planting, allow space for the clump to expand. In the early spring cut back to approximately 2 inches. After a few years you can
divide clumps in the spring for more plants. They can be treated as any other perennial, with taller ones at the back of a garden, and smaller ones closer to the front. When we think of “leaves of grass” our thoughts now can range from the 1/8 inch width of blades of Kentucky bluegrass to the 2 inch width of blades of the giant miscanthus.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR it takes a village to raise a person up and the fi ne people of White Bear have done just that. As well as Evans Music, thank you too, White Bear Bar, White Bear Press, Vadnais Plumbing, Berwald Roofi ng, Cup and Cone and all Tommy Boy’s friends. Make a joyful noise. Becky Human on behalf of Tommy Boy’s family
Thank you from the food shelf

Evans Music manager Joe Roszkowski gifted his personal guitar to fellow music lover Tommy Boy when he heard the White Bear man lost four guitars in a burglary.
It takes a village My family and I would like to give a big shout out “Thank You” to Evans Music in downtown White Bear. When longtime employee/ manager Joe Roszkowski heard about our disabled brother’s plight, he did something very special that restored our faith in humanity. Tom’s house was robbed. The few things he had of value where taken, which included four acoustic guitars that he bought at Evans. It took him a long time to save up for them on his meager salary. Tom has a love for country music and his dream is to go to Nashville someday. Now because our dear brother is disabled, he cannot read music. However, don’t tell him that because he strums and sings from the heart. Tom also writes a lot of his own music. He leaves us songs on his voice mail. Joe and owners of Evans, Gary and Suzanne Dupre, have been so patient with Tommy Boy (as he is affectionately known) when he comes in their store. They have allowed him to play all the guitars he wants and sing loud and proud. No music someone has to offer is noise. Thank you for that! Joe presented the guitar to Tom last Saturday. He has had it since he was 18 years old. Joe refurbished it and inlaid Tom’s name on it, saying “anyone who dreams of going to Nashville should have their name on their guitar.” The guitar is reminiscent of the type that Merle Haggard played. This was a moment and gesture that our brother will never forget. So much kindness has come from this horrible, shocking thing that happened to a vulnerable adult. It started with Gayle Dircks from Press Publications donating her electric guitar to Tom when she heard about what happened. He always wanted one of those. The community as a whole has been great to Tom since he moved there in 2007. Sometimes
All of us at the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf wish to thank the local businesses, churches and community groups who included us in their Manitou Days Events. On Thursday, June 16, Cup and Cone’s 1 Treat, 1 Cause, $1,000 promotion raised $720 to help increase access to healthy food for all our neighbors in the White Bear area. On Friday, June 17 the Bearly Open Golf on Ice Event proudly walked in the Manitou Days parade to help claw their way to $1 million in food purchased for the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf. On Sunday, June 19 we had the pleasure of participating in YogaDevotion’s Yoga on the Beach, which raised over $250. Then to top off an already amazing weekend, First Lutheran Church included us in their Community Garage Sale, raising over $400 for our neighbors in need. Once again, thank you for supporting your local food shelf. We truly could not serve our neighbors without your help. Andrea Kish-Bailey and all of us at the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf
Trash hauling not up to par We moved to “old” White Bear Lake three years ago from Minneapolis, and have been amazed at the level of services here. Most noteworthy is how clean and beautiful the city keeps Lake Avenue. The gardens and Christmas lights are spectacular. Prior to the Manitou Days parade last Friday, the city was impeccable. Sadly, our current trash hauler, Troje’s, is not upholding these high standards. Week after week, we and other residents (as reported on the NextDoor. com/White Bear Lake) are having trouble getting all of our bins picked up. It’s time for city managers to talk to Troje’s about whether they have the capacity to be the hauler for White Bear Lake. Lynn Nelson White Bear Lake
Relay For Life: building momentum I am excited for the Relay For Life of White Bear Lake on July 29. Building momentum in cancer research takes many forms, and I’d like to let all of our friends and neighbors in the White Bear Lake area know what we are doing together to make this happen. The dollars raised through Relay For Life continue to give a well-timed boost to promising young researchers. The American Cancer Society has funded 47 Nobel Prize winners since
1946. No other private nonprofit organization has invested more in exploring the causes and cures of cancer. That’s some of the research power of Relay, but not all of it. I am also a proud member of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), the advocacy affi liate of the American Cancer Society. Just last December, ACS CAN helped secure a $264 million increase in cancer research funding from the federal government, (the single largest funder of cancer research in the U.S.). ACS CAN is working this year to build upon that increase, and also to help pass the Childhood Cancer Survivorship, Treatment, Access and Research (STAR) Act. By signing petitions and becoming ACS CAN members at the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life event, you can help make these forms of cancer research support possible, too. Let your voice be heard. Does that sound like momentum? I think so, and I hope readers and lawmakers will join ACS CAN to strengthen cancer research support in every way possible. To learn more, please join us July 29 at WBAHS South Campus. Jeff Noren ACS CAN Volunteer and Survivor CoChair, Relay For Life of White Bear Lake White Bear Lake
Appreciate warm welcome On behalf of The Waters, I want to thank the White Bear Lake community for such a warm welcome during our June 21 grand opening celebration. More than 700 people, young and old, came to The Waters of White Bear Lake for the party. It was just delightful seeing our vision for the community come to life. All the activity offered a good taste of what things will be like in the community once it is fi lled. Not only did people get a good sense of the space and the food, but the programming that will be offered on a daily basis in partnership with The University of Minnesota’s Center for Spirituality and Healing, and the staff that will serve them. There were team members from all nine of The Waters properties in attendance, including chefs, concierges, personal assistants and members of the well-being staff. Many of our guests stayed for quite a while, and as I walked the halls everyone seemed to be having a great time. It was great to have so many visitors tell me The Waters is a breath of fresh air compared to other communities they have experienced. I would especially like to thank Mayor Jo Emerson and the White Bear Lake City Council for helping turn our vision a reality, and the Chamber of Commerce for its support to help more seniors have the opportunity to stay in White Bear Lake. We at The Waters are looking very forward to being an integral part of the White Bear Lake community for years to come. Kyle Didier President, The Waters

Grass fire on I-35E slows traffic BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — A grass fire in a construction zone along I-35E and County Road J occurred about 2 p.m. June 21. Flames could be heard crackling just below the County Road J overpass by drivers going across the bridge. Thick smoke filled the area and could be smelled from a few miles away. The southbound I-35E ramp from County Road J was closed. The grass fire extended from north of the bridge in Lino Lakes to south of the White Bear Township Theatre. Firefighter T. Post drove his car to the scene and parked in the shopping area by the White Bear Township Theatre, donning his fire gear in the parking lot. He then rushed to the scene to assist other firefighters along I-35E. SARA MARIE MOORE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS Traffic was slowed along the freeway Firefighter T. Post rushes to the scene to assist firefighters along I-35E. He as fire departments hosed water on the drove his car to the scene and put on his firefighter gear in the White Bear blaze.

CONSERVATION DISTRICT: Wants beach opened FROM PAGE 1A
In other business at the conservation district meeting: • Chairman Jane Harper announced her resignation, effective immediately due to scheduling conflicts. The city of Birchwood will be seeking a volunteer to replace her on the board. • Lake utilization committee chairman Mark Ganz indicated he plans to draft a letter to Ramsey County commissioners to open the Ramsey Park beach. “It would take pressure off other swimming areas,” Ganz said. “The city of White Bear Lake has a beach open next door and it’s being used.” His theory, said the Mahtomedi director, is that the county has taken maintenance of the beach out
of its budget after all these years of closure and isn’t prepared to open it. • Discussed the reserve fund policy. Vice Chairman Bryan DeSmet felt a policy is a good idea and asked Treasurer Diane Longville if she would draft a document by the July meeting for the board to review. She agreed. The matter comes in the wake of discussion by the White Bear Lake City Council regarding the board’s large reserve. It was the opinion of Councilman Kevin Edberg that the board does not need a $99,000 reserve and requested to know the district’s policy regarding taxpayer money. The district is funded through assessments to the five communities surrounding the lake. Based on tax capacity, White Bear pays the largest amount — $34,700.
BY THE NUMBERS
Lake level June 21: 922.25 feet Increase since last month: 2.25 inches Increase since last year: 1 foot Water temp: 74 degrees, same as 2015 A policy will identify the purpose of reserves and the fact that items in the district’s budget are variable. • Approved the 2017 budget, which remains the same as the budget in 2015 and 2016.
PATENT: Fire-resistant shutter protects homes from wildfires FROM PAGE 1A
melt and the shutter would fall to cover the window, thereby protecting the window and the home,” said Megan Malvey, one of the coaches of the team. The boys’ goal was to invent something that would encourage people to evacuate rather than stay to try to protect their home. “Sitting around the Ruzynski's kitchen table as they came up with the idea to mount the shutter above the window and use gravity to deploy it was a pretty awesome moment — it was truly their idea,” said Malvey. Mindy Ruzynski was another coach. The shutter also acts as a warning system. “When it falls, it is really loud when it hits the siding,” said Nick, which warns those inside of an approaching fire. “It wakes up people inside the house,” said Ryan. “It closes fast enough so the fire doesn't get inside and it gives the owner of the house enough time to get out with everything they need,” said Liam. The boys did fire testing using a variety of materials for their prototype shutter. “We had to make sure it wouldn't start on fire,” said Samuel. “We tested sheetrock, cement, wood, steel and glass.” They ended up using wood covered by a cement board. Ryan said the wood gives heat resistance and the cement prevents fire from reaching the wood. They used a wax birthday candle as a meltable trigger held by a wire and hasp. They tested its melting level by using a
blow dryer on low and high heat. They wanted to make sure it wouldn't melt on a sunny day. The boys won the project portion in their division at their regional FLL tournament in 2013. “That was just the beginning,” said Malvey.
Pursuing a patent
Steve Wolgamot, another coach and grandfather of one of the boys, thought the boys could stretch their learning further by going through the U.S. patent application process. Wolgamot has received several industrial patents himself, and Malvey has several through her job at EcoLab. Wolgamot wrote a provisional patent application for the fireproof shutter. During an Internet search he found an organization, LegalCORPS, which offers free legal counsel to low-income entrepreneurs, nonprofits and small businesses, including the nonprovisional patent application process. Legal counsel to obtain a patent runs in the $5,000-10,000 range. The boys were represented by a nonprofit, the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation (MAEF), and their project was approved for assistance by LegalCORPS. The LegalCORPS volunteers with whom the boys were matched were also 3M employees — Adrian Pishko, a patent agent, and Jean Lown, an attorney specializing in intellectual property. Pishko and Lown had the boys examine other
similar ideas patented or in the process to determine whether their idea was patentable. “The LegalCORPS volunteers who we worked with put the boys to work with reading prior art and asking them to explain why they thought their idea was worthy of a patent,” said Malvey. The boys thought none used the exact same system as theirs. Sam recalls, “We had to make sure there was nothing really like it.” Lown said she treated the boys like adult inventors. “We tried to interact with them in such a way that it would be a learning opportunity for them,” said Lown. Pishko and Lown submitted an application in December 2014. Almost a year later, a rejection notice came. Pishko said rejections are common and most patents need to be revised several times before approval. “An examiner will look at prior art and determine if your claims are novel and inventive over the art,” said Lown. “If not, 99 percent of examiners will reject claims and tell you why they are not novel and inventive.” Pishko, Lown and the boys had to look at previous art the examiner had cited that was too similar to theirs and respond with how theirs was different. Then came the second rejection. Pishko contacted the examiner to let him know it was a pro bono case and the examiner then advised her on what needed to be changed. There were minor
Three-part Lost Lake subdivision approved City receives land donation from developer BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — In exchange for not requiring the developer of a proposed subdivision to provide a trail segment or access easement to city property, the city received a parcel of land from the property owner that might serve the same purpose. At its June 21 meeting, the Mahtomedi City Council unanimously (4-0 with Councilman Richard Brainerd absent) approved a request from Pratt Development for a minor subdivision into three single-family residential lots on a parcel slightly larger than 2 acres. The property is located on the southeast corner of Birchwood Road and Lost Lake Court. The three lots on the parcel, belonging to George Reiling of Roseville, will be valued at around $650,000 each. The action originally came up for approval at the May 17 council meeting, after the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended conditional approval. Council members noted the subdivision's proximity to city open space and a future trail connection to Birchwood Village on the property as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. Council questioned whether the developer should be required to provide access from Birchwood Road to the Lost Lake Open Space, located west of TH 244 and within the Wildwood Park parcel. Council also dis-
cussed whether the city should require the developer to install a trail segment or donate a trail easement along the north side of the property in conjunction with the subdivision. The city tabled action on the proposed subdivision and asked the Parks Commission to review the two questions and provide recommendations. The commission did so at its June 15 meeting and recommended against requiring the developer to provide either one. In approving the subdivision, the city carried out the Parks Commission recommendation. To compensate for the lack of an easement from the developer, the city at the same meeting formally accepted the donation of approximately 23 acres of real estate, mostly wetlands, appraised at $230,000, from Reiling. The donated land is on the eastern border of the 2-acre subdivision. The city will pick up the second half of the year's property taxes, amounting to $832 on the property. According to Minnesota statute, a city may accept a grant of real or personal property and maintain the property for the benefit of its citizens according to the terms prescribed by the donor. Council needed a 4/5 vote to make the transaction legal. “Our recommendation is to take the property for $832,” City Attorney Jay Karlovich said. Council voted unanimously to receive the property.

amendments made to differentiate the boys' art from others. In April 2016, the patent was granted. “I think the kids should be very proud of what they invented,” said Lown. “They really did everything our inventors at 3M do.” The patent is owned by MAEF, but the boys are listed as inventors on the U.S. patent website. The boys cited getting into colleges, learning about the patent process and learning about teamwork as what they will take away from the experience of being officially recognized as young inventors. And their advice for other young inventors? “You're probably going to be turned down a couple of times, so don't give up,” said Sam.
MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Mahtomedi City Council took the following action at its June 21 meeting: • Approved a conditional use permit for Ross and Kelley Metz for a side yard setback reduction to construct an attached garage at 59 Neptune St. The property is located in the R1-E Historic District. • Approved a request from Christopher and Elizabeth Zipko for a rear yard setback variance to construct a deck at 599 Eastgate Pkwy. • Approved a variance request from Jonathan Faraci on behalf of the Farrar Estate that would allow the creation of a “buildable” lot on property located on Lincolntown Avenue that does not meet the required lot area and lot width in the RR-Rural Residential Zoning District. • Unanimously voted to move forward after receiving a petition for a sanitary sewer from property owners on Bevins Lane. Owners of six properties, representing 55 percent of the affected frontage, signed the petition. The petition was initiated because one of the residents on Bevins Lane was having problems with his septic system. In talking with his neighbors, he garnered support for a sanitary sewer system, City Engineer Jay Kennedy said.
• Presented the 15-Year Service Award to Jerene Rogers, accountant clerk for the city and assistant to the finance director. • Scheduled a work session for 5:30 p.m. July 19 to discuss the proposed predatory offender housing ordinance. • Approved pay voucher No. 2 in the amount of $409,500 to T. A. Schifsy and Sons Inc., for phase 2 of the Historic District Improvement Project. • Approved pay voucher No. 4 in the amount of $8,545 to Belair Sitework Services for the Wedgewood Park Infiltration BMP Project. • Approved pay voucher No. 1 in the amount of $111,000 to Park Construction for the Hamline Lake Streetcar Trail Improvements. • Heard a report from Steve Wolgamot about paths across private property, in which owners who grant access across their property between city lands would be protected from liability for people injuring themselves while in transit. “It's a safe way for pedestrians to avoid city streets without sidewalks,” Wolgamot said. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 5 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

Northeast metro youth drop-in center opens BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
Behind the colossal wooden doors and sturdy stone blocks of a former monastery, a group of concerned northeast metro citizens has started the area's only youth drop-in center — a safe place for youth on the go. NorthStar Youth Outreach Center opened June 6 in Maplewood's Harriet Tubman Center East, a social service agency and shelter housed in a former monastery built for more than 200 nuns. A few years ago Ron Ofstead and Daniel Wachtler, both members on the social action committee at White Bear Unitarian Universalist Church in Mahtomedi, decided the northeast metro needed a youth drop-in center. The friends had been involved in a variety of service programs to homeless people in the northeast metro, but wanted to do more long term. Their church hosts the homeless when area shelters run out of room through an organization called Project Home, so a larger outreach to homeless people interested them. After researching, Ofstead and Wachtler proposed a youth drop-in center, a safe place where youth can come during the day and evening for food, fun, showers, laundry and computer use. “In the northeast metro there were no services specifically targeting youth,” said Wachtler. The connection to the Harriet Tubman Center came though a friend at church. The Tubman Center had an entire section of rooms — 2,500 square feet — it was not using and said it would take on the idea for a youth center. They named it the NorthStar Youth Outreach Center in
honor of Harriet Tubman, who led slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad by following the North Star in the 1800s.
A community effort Ofstead and Wachtler knew that if the youth center were to actually open, the project would need to extend beyond their church. Several other area churches and regional Rotary clubs have joined the effort. They also contacted homeless liaisons from area school districts Mahtomedi, North St. Paul-Maplewood and White Bear Lake, and a counselor at Century College to partner with them in reaching youth ages 13-24. “We knew we needed broader community support,” said Wachtler. The task force for the center is now made up of 35-40 people. After funds were raised, Ofstead and Wachtler took to mobilizing volunteers to set up the youth center. “This room didn't look a thing like this,” said Ofstead in the main hangout room, surrounded by a variety of comfortable furniture and a foosball table. “It was for storage.” Much of the furniture came from Bridging, a local furniture bank for such causes. “This rug came from my cabin up north,” said Wachtler, pointing at a large braided rug on the floor. The framed photographs fi lling the walls were taken by Ofstead's daughter. A group of students painted artistic interpretations of the Tree of Life, which line the hallway of the center. The youth center is stocked with food youth can eat there or take with them. There is a laundry room where youth can wash clothes or pick up personal hygiene items they may need. There is a computer room where youth can use the Internet to search

for jobs or housing. There is a nursery/preschool room where youth with children can let them play. There is also an art space where young people will be able to express themselves. Youth can take showers and, if needed, the Tubman Center can attempt to fi nd them a spot in their shelter or another area shelter if they have nowhere to go that evening. “First of all, it is a safe place,” said Wachtler. “It is also a place to get immediate survival needs met.” And then youth can use the support services offered — tutoring, job searching, housing assistance. The Tubman Center also offers legal support for youth who need it. Thirty-two volunteers have signed up to help staff the center. All have passed background checks and been trained by the Tubman Center. The NorthStar Youth Outreach Center has one part-time employee from the Tubman Center.
Calling all youth

Ron Ofstead, left and Daniel Wachtler stand in the brand new youth outreach center they helped start at the Harriet Tubman Center in Maplewood.
The next task is to reach the youth. “We have only had one youth so far,” said Wachtler. “The big task now is getting the word out so the youth who need the services come.” The northeast metro is home to 400500 homeless youth, said Ofstead. “They are out there, but they are off the radar,” said Wachtler, remembering when he and Ofstead met with a homeless youth advocate at Canvas Health in Woodbury. It was then they had heard about a group of homeless youth who live in the woods in Washington County. “A lot of people don't realize or understand there are homeless youth in the suburbs,” said Wachtler. “We are hopeful over the next 2-3 months youth will begin to come here.” Strategically, the center is on a bus line — route 219. The NorthStar Youth Outreach Center hopes to attract unaccompanied youth, which means the youth are not homeless along with a parent or other adult.
“There are half a million unaccompanied youth in any given year nationally,” said Ofstead, noting that one-third of those are gay or lesbian. Ofstead thinks this is often because they are rejected by family. Right now, a friend from their church in Mahtomedi is hosting a homeless youth in their home who was cast off for another reason. When the youth turned 18, his mother kicked him out of her home in Texas because he chose not to become a Jehovah's Witness like she was. He was sent to his father in Minnesota, who didn't want to take him in. So he slept in his car. But a family found him through the Host Home Program, overseen by Avenues for Homeless Youth in Minneapolis. Now he plans to attend college to study airline mechanics. The family has committed to house him until he finishes college. Ultimately, Ofstead and Wachtler want to see homeless youth given opportunities to succeed and not get trapped in a lifestyle they never imagined. “A lot of sex trafficking goes on in this age group,” said Ofstead, an example of what the youth drop-in center aims to stop through offering support to at-risk youth. A training program for new volunteers to staff the center will be held in August. The center accepts donations of clean and gently used blankets, pillows and sleeping bags for youth to take with them, and clothes. Current drop-in hours are 3 to 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Ofstead and Wachtler would like to move it to seven days a week. NorthStar Youth Outreach Center is located in the Harriet Tubman Center at 1725 Monastery Way, Maplewood. A 24-hour crisis line is available: 612825-0000. For more information on volunteering or donating, call 612-825-3333 or 651-429-8665 or visit tubman.org.
WHITE BEAR TOWN BOARD NOTES In action at its June 20 meeting, the Town Board: • Received a report and indicated provisional support for a sketch plan by Nate Hanson of an expansion of a self-storage business on the corner of Leibel Street and Highway 61. When submitted formally, the application would require rezoning or a zoning ordinance amendment, as the expansion of the storage business, currently conducted from a parcel of land in the I-1 light industrial zone, to the neighboring parcel, currently zoned B-2, general business, would not be permitted without official township action. • Noted receipt of a response from Ramsey County Public Works Department indicating lack of support for a four-way stop at the intersection of Portland Avenue and Short Street due to the low incidence of crashes at the location. A request for the four-way stop had been submitted by Kara and Bob Hampton, who recently moved into the area and found higher-than-expected traffic levels and speeds. However, the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department did issue speed
citations following the request and intends to continue monitoring traffic levels and speeds in the area, according to Town Clerk Bill Short. • Authorized award of a $793,000 contract for the Pine Hill improvement project to construct utilities, fi rst lift of pavement, curb and gutter to Shoreview-based C. W. Houle. The improvements are required as part of the 28-home Pine Hill development off County Road H2 and are funded by developer North Oaks Company. The nine residents to the north of County Road H2 between Centerville Road and Peterson Road will have the option to connect to city water for a fee once the improvements are underway. • Approved a payment not to exceed $5,500 to township engineers TKDA for the preparation of plans and specifications for the restoration of the Barry Lane stormwater detention pond. • Approved the spending of $38,500 to upgrade the computer software which monitors township's sanitary sewer lift stations, wells and water tanks.
• Rescheduled the already-rescheduled fi rst town meeting of July to Wednesday, July 6 (previously July 11) and rescheduled the Aug. 1 meeting to Wednesday, Aug. 3. • Approved a new joint powers agreement with Ramsey County to provide election services for the period 2017-2020. • Awarded an $8,550 contract for resurfacing the Longville Park tennis courts to Court Surfaces and Repair of Ham Lake. • Authorized the approximately $6,000 replacement of a roll-up fi re door in the Public Works building, to be purchased from Crawford Door Sales Company of West St. Paul. • Approved replacement of seven computers and purchase of six additional second monitors for township staff, at a cost of $8,242 from Roseville IT.

MnDOT discusses construction with business leaders BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
VADNAIS HEIGHTS — According to representatives from MnDOT, the worst of the I-35E, Highway 96 and Goose Lake Road construction is over. Representatives from the state’s transportation department met with White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce members to let business leaders get their questions answered about the I-35E and area bridge construction at the Vadnais Heights Country Inn and Suites June 22. “The good news is, the end is drawing near,” said Denise Workcuff, information officer for the project. Yet, there are still some ramp closures ahead. But there shouldn't be any more weekend closures of Highway 96. The project should be finished by late fall. “The worst of it is pretty much over,” said Workcuff. Single-lane traffic on Highway 96 in both directions will continue through mid-July. Intermittent lane closures will occur nightly on I-35E between Highway 96 and County Road J. The northbound ramp to Highway 96 will remained closed through September. The southbound ramp to County Road E will also remain closed through September. Traffic backup and gridlock westbound over the Highway 96 bridge was cited as a main concern by chamber members. One member said some businesses are
operating at 55-60 percent of usual business volume. Another member remarked that may be because people simply want to avoid that area, and said he himself shops at Cub Foods on White Bear Avenue now in order to avoid the gridlock. Workcuff said MnDOT employees also have to deal with the traffic. “Many of us live in the north metro,” said Workcuff. “We are also experiencing that delay.” But the roads and bridges selected to be fixed were chosen for a reason. “I've had to change my route three times, said Workcuff. “I do understand your pain. But they've got to be fixed.” One chamber member asked why both the Goose Lake Road bridge and Highway 96 bridge were being reconstructed at the same time. Workcuff cited the efficiency of doing the projects all at once as a reason the Goose Lake Road bridge and Highway 96 bridges were reconstructed in the same year. It is also the reason MnDOT chose to add a MnPASS lane at the same time the department reconstructed I-35E. The MnPASS lane will run as far as County Road J for northbound traffic and begin at Highway 96 for southbound traffic. “It made sense to do these projects together,” said Workcuff. There are no foreseeable plans to reconstruct the County Road J or H2 bridges this year. Sheila Kauppi, MnDOT north area
manager, said the Highway 96 and Goose Lake Road bridges are being built to last for 75 years. “So it could be awhile before we see you again?” said John Lupo, chamber chair, with a smile. “I will be glad when it is 2018,” said Kauppi, noting the I-694 project from Rice Street to Lexington should be completed by then. MnDOT is exploring adding a MnPASS lane to Highway 36 in 2019. Josh Van Den Burg, MnDOT business liaison, said low-interest loans are available for businesses in construction zones through the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). Van Den Burg also recommended businesses band together during construction and meet periodically at coffee shops to support each other and brainstorm on how to keep profits going during construction. Some ideas he has seen other businesses act on are promoting loyalty discounts and changing hours of operation. “You shouldn't be suffering in silence,” said Van Den Berg. White Bear Area Chamber Executive Director Tom Snell suggested the chamber meet up at Caribou on Highway 96 for a second meeting regarding the construction, which would also serve the purpose of giving it business. MnDOT recommends business leaders use their Business Construction Guide, which offers tips to businesses on how to
operate during construction. The guide can be found on MnDOT’s website, www. dot.state.mn.us. Updates on the I-35E, Highway 96, Goose Lake Road project can be found at www.dot.state.mn.us/ metro/projects/i35vadnaisheights.

Dog days of summer come early for one neighborhood Residents air concerns about barking, feces, dog park escapees
BY LOUISE ERNEWEIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — As the dog days of summer approach, so the residents living in close proximity to one off-leash area are making their views known on the subject of local canines. Hearings for three hobby kennel licenses — the White Bear Township name for the permit allowing residents to keep three dogs at their home — were held at the June 20 meeting and citizens took the opportunity to air dog-related concerns. Although the first license for 1335 County Road H-2 was issued without much discussion, the next two — which concerned homes at 5715 and 5646 Fisher St., close to the Bald Eagle-Otter Lakes Regional Park off-leash dog area — both provoked comment. "I'm a little concerned with the number of dogs in the neighborhood," said Scott Snyder, who attended the meeting after receiving notification about the 5715 Fisher St. application — for Jagger Xiong and Kazoua Yang's two poodle schnauzers and one pit bull — from the township. "[I live close to the dog park] and I see a lot of dogs in my neighborhood." Nearby homeowner Mike Davis, also of Fisher Street, spoke out on the same application, adding: "[The dogs] have been in the neighbors' yard. They need to be picked up after ... There's barking some of the time."
The township dog discussion came less than a week after the Matoska Park dog beach came under the microscope at a White Bear Lake City Council meeting June 14. There, City Council members discussed one resident's concerns about dogs' and their owners' use of the swimming beach and agreed to take public comment on the issue at the next meeting on June 28. Speaking more generally about the dog situation in his White Bear Township neighborhood, David added: "We get escapee dogs through all the time. We do have an abundance of dogs." Allison Winters, communications manager for Ramsey County, said the county had not been contacted about local residents' concerns regarding dogs and owners using the off-leash area. "There haven't been any complaints that have come into the department related to the behavior you mentioned," she said. "Of course, if people do have issues with the off-leash dog area or the surrounding area, we do encourage them to get in touch with the parks department or the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department." The 5646 Fisher St. application, for Tommy and Michele Thompson's three corgis, prompted a few questions from town board supervisors after reading that one of the corgis was involved in a dog vs. dog bite situation at the off-leash area. While Tommy Thompson admitted one of his three corgis, Finley, was involved in the scuffle — which
he said was characterized unfairly in the subsequent police report as an attack by a "trio of crazy corgis" — he said his dogs were the victims, rather than the attackers, in that instance. He and his wife pledged to continue using the bark collar they had purchased to curb the barking of one pet at their home, and highlighted other ways in which they were responsible dog owners. "There's plenty of room back there [in our yard] for the dogs to run about," Thompson said. "We take them out on walks and to run at the dog park." Similarly, Xiong and Yang committed to erecting a fence in their back yard at 5715 Fisher St. to keep their dogs contained, as well as applying for individual dog licenses for each of the three dogs. Both sets of applicants will receive follow-up inspections from the Ramsey County animal control officer to ensure they are complying with the terms of their hobby kennel licenses, which were granted for a period of two years. In the meantime, township residents with concerns about dogs at or escaping from the off-leash dog area are encouraged to report them to the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department at 651-748-2500. Homeowners who experience nuisance or barking dogs in their neighborhood can call the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department nonemergency number at 651-767-0640.
Senior forum discusses progress WHITE BEAR LAKE — The Community Forum on Seniors discussed its progress at a meeting last month. The Community Forum on Seniors is a group of community members who came together to address the quality of life for seniors in the White Bear Lake area. The forum has met several times since last year. The group is developing a directory on area services for seniors called C.L.A.S.S. (Consortium of Lake Area Senior Services). The forum is made up
of action teams led by local authorities in each area: health care, housing, recreation, service action and transportation. The forum's facilitator, Kristine Wehrkamp, who serves as the district's community services and recreation director, announced Cindy O'Donovan will be the group's interim facilitator. Wehrkamp has accepted a position in another district. The group discussed what its formal name should be at the meeting. The group couldn't decide between
its two ideas: “White Bear Area Senior Forum” and “White Bear Area Community Forum on Seniors.” Some people liked the shorter version, while some said the second version explained better that the forum is made up of community members developing resources for seniors. The forum will discuss its formal name at another meeting. Sara Marie Moore

One of the finest displays in the line of fire works will be seen in White Bear on the evening of the Fourth that has ever been pulled off in this section of the country, the big cities not excepted. The order was given to M. Konz, traveling salesman for the Payne Fire Works Co. of Chicago. Mr. Konz, being a resident of White Bear Beach, has an interest in having the best to be obtained for the money, and if we mistake not he will see that we get our full money’s worth. The Bald Eagle Union church is glad to announce that Rev. Thos Osborn, D.D. pastor of the First Methodist church, Mt. Pleasant Iowa, will preach every Sunday during July at 11:00 a.m.

Tuesday afternoon about 5:00 fireman were called to White Bear Beach were the Otto Kasper home was in flames. This will be remembered as the former Clark residence, beautifully located sitting back from the road with a beautiful lawn. Mrs. Kasper was in the kitchen preparing the evening meal when she smelled smoke. After finding fire in the basement, she ran to Mrs. Johnson’s tavern where she called the White Bear fire department. However, the fireman arrived too late to save the building. Chief A. C. Podvin estimated the loss at $5,000. R. J. Bloom’s Department Store – printed seersucker, guaranteed fast color; perma-

Mahtomedi is state runner-up after Sibley's big upset at Target Field BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Everybody likes a good Cinderella story, unless you happen to be on the wrong side of one. The Mahtomedi baseball team lived up to its No. 1 ranking in Class 3A by winning its sectionals and cruising into the finals with two wins at state, needing only to beat a Henry Sibley team they’d vanquished twice previously to claim their first state title. But somebody waved a magic wand and Sibley scuttled their vaunted conference rivals 8-4 at Target Field on June 20, completing one of the all-time Cinderella sagas, rising from a 4-14 start to emerge with their first state crown. “Sibley, the last couple years, has been considered an automatic win,” said Mahtomedi catcher John Peterson, elaborating that the Warriors’ defense usually unraveled and they didn’t hit well. “But in this game, they hit the ball hard one through nine and they made every single play in the field, including some hard plays.” Mahtomedi, in its third straight state tourney, and first time getting past the first round, finished 23-6, beating New Ulm and Little Falls to reach the finals, where their normally stellar defense faltered with three costly errors, and they didn’t deliver the hits when needed like Sibley did. “It kinda stunk that we lost in the finals, but all in all it was an amazing season,” said Zephyr shortstop Trevor Moses, who went 5-for-10 in his third state tournament and belted the lone homer of the four championship games at the Twins’ ballpark. “We went into the finals with good heads but we just ran into
a hot team and we made some mental errors and that was it.” “Obviously we were one step short,” lamented coach John Hardgrove, while praising the team for all it achieved. “The kids had their backs to the wall several times but won our conference and section and got this far … Our defense kind of disappeared (today) but give them (Sibley) credit, they put the bat on the ball and made the plays that we didn’t.” Henry Sibley had to win the state title just to get back to .500, which they did at 15-15. Sibley coach Greg Fehrman reflected: “Our motto was live to play another day,” with the kids remaining positive and motivated. “It never seemed like a lost season, not at all.” Mahtomedi starter Jack Schwietz, who was 8-0 coming into the game, gave up six hits, two walks, and a hit-by-pitch in yielding five runs in 2 2/3 innings. Grant Taival threw the last 4 1/3 giving up three runs. Moses, who played in the state all-star series this past weekend, made one of the errors, but went 2-for-4 including the homer as the 167-pound leadoff batter hoisted one just over the left-field wall, making it 6-3 at the time. “That felt amazing. It was definitely the best homer I’ve ever hit,” said Moses, who had four this season and seven in his career. “I was looking for a good pitch to hit and got a fast ball inside.” Another good swing was Peterson’s RBI triple to deep right-center in the seventh. The other runs scored on a wild pitch in the first and on a pop-up that dropped between two infielders in the second. Playing in one of the most beautiful big-league ballparks in the country was “awesome,” said Peterson, the catcher,

who marveled at the “literally flawless” home plate circle. “I took time to look around the park and enjoy every second, even though we were losing.” Peterson regards the season as “absolutely a success … definitely the most fun season I’ve ever had.” One highlight was six of the 21 wins ending with walk-off hits, including his against St. Thomas Academy. “They were by six different guys, too. That was the most fun part, that so many players stepped up this year.” Named to the all-tournament team were Moses, second baseman Kyle Hinseth, and pitcher/first baseman Mitch Nordin. Moses was 5-for-10 with two doubles, a homer, three runs and four RBIs. Hinseth was 4-for-9 with four runs and two RBIs. Nordin pitched a 4-1 win over Little Falls and went 4-for-9 with two RBIs. For the season, Moses hit .478 with four homers, 23 RBIs, 31 runs, and 13 doubles
after hitting .395 with three homers, 30 runs, and 24 RBIs as a junior. Joe Rock batted .370, Charlie Bartholomew .351, Nordin .338, Peterson .322, Hinseth .310 and Graham Devore .294. On the mound, Schwietz was 8-1 with a 2.27 ERA, Taival 5-2 and 2.66, and Nordin 5-2 and 3.20. Moving on to college teams are Moses to Angelo State in Texas, Peterson and Ben Clysdale (who missed this season with injury) to Bethel, Nordin to Gustavus Adolphus and Adam Stone to Augsburg. For the summer, Moses has joined the Prescott Pirates town team across the border, while Peterson, Hinseth, Stone, Gavin Pratumwon and Nordin are playing for Mahtomedi Legion. Correction: The Mahtomedi baseball story in the June 22 printed edition of the White Bear Press mis-identified Zephyr pitcher Jack Schwietz as Jack Schwartz. We regret the error. The on-line version was correct.
Setting sail: Youth ride waves on White Bear Lake BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
In sports, you have your gym rats and your rink rats, kids who can’t get enough of hoops or hockey, and it turns out there’s lake rats, too. White Bear Yacht Club (WBYC) hosted a few dozen June 24 for a sailing competition. “Here’s one of ours,” sailing coach Nick Hovland said, introducing one of his youngsters to the Press, after the races. “Henry is here all day, every day, and competes in multiple events.” Henry Seum, 11, a sailor for three years, explained, “It’s fun being out there by yourself, and you have to make all the decisions.” Also a baseball and basketball player, Henry sails mainly for fun but wants to be good too. “It doesn’t take long to learn how to sail, but it takes a long time to know how to sail well … You have to work your butt off and you can’t miss practices.” White Bear Sailing School (WBSS) has taught youth and adults how to sail since 1956 at the WBYC. It’s not awfully expensive (“Cheaper than paying a babysitter,” Hovland quips to parents) and boats are provided until they decide to commit to the sport, in which case the family can pick one up for $2,000 or more. On a sunny, 80-degree Friday, WBSS hosted Wayzata Community Sailing Center, Lake Calhoun Sailing School, Lake Minnetonka Sailing School, and St. Croix Sailing School. Each school hosts an event each summer. About 75 sailors competed, racing up to five times each, in Optimist Green (first-year), Red (10-and-under), White (11-12) and Blue (13-15), and Club 420 (double-handed) and Laser (single-handed) for the experienced sailors. Two of WBSS’s up-and-comers are Vivian Bonsager and Owen Harrod, who finished one-two in the Opti overall standings. Bonsager, who’s going into eighth grade, said she started sailing at age five with her dad, an avid helmsman, and has stuck with it, along with older brother Alexander, an accomplished sailor who missed this competition with a toe injury from bicycling. “I just like being in the water,” Vivian said. “I kind of like competing, but I prefer just sailing, just for fun.” Formerly a swimmer, she regards sailing as her favorite activity. She is the only girl on her age-group racing team
with three boys. Harrod, a sixth-grader big for his age, met Hovland at a hockey rink and the sailing mentor made his pitch to try a sport on water that’s not frozen. “Owen said he thought sailing was kind of lame,” related Hovland, “but he came and tried it, and he likes it, and has gotten really good. He has lots of potential.” Harrod spends winter and spring playing hockey (look for him on the Mahtomedi Zephyrs in a few years) and summer sailing. He placed second among 40-some participants in a Junior Olympics meet in Michigan last summer, and recently competed in Team USA trials in San Francisco, along with Alexander Bonsager. “I like being out there by myself and not having anyone telling me what to do,” said Harrod, who lives just down the shore from WBYC and putters over on his Boston Whaler motor boat. Hovland grew up in a sailing family in the Detroit Lakes area. He played golf, football, and hockey in high school but his abiding passion was sailing. He joined the sailing club at the University of Minnesota while majoring in Commercial Recreation and minoring in Youth Studies. Add to those ideal credentials, his engaging, encouraging personality and it’s easy to see why WBYC asked him to teach sailing, which is his full-time job, starting in 2010. He currently has about 200 kids in the WBSS and expects that to increase; the number is usually closer to 300. Only a few youth sailors have parents who are WBYC members or live on the lakeshore, he added. “When people hear WBYC, they think private and exclusive, which is not what the sailing school is all about.” The club also hosts high school teams from White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Mounds View, Mounds Park Academy and Visitation in the spring and fall. White Bear has multiple sailors making their mark on state and national levels, Hovland said, pointing to the Cox siblings as prime examples. Kate Cox, coach of the Optimist Race Team at WBSS, won the Minnesota State Girls High School Sailing Championship three years in a row and will join Hobart William Smith College’s nationally ranked team in the fall. Eddie Cox, a former WBSS coach, just graduated from Hobart, where he sailed all
four years, and is now working for Melges Boatworks, one of the leading builders of performance sailboats. Best sailor on the lake Friday was Sam Bartel of Wayzata, who’s done well in state and national events. While Bonsager edged Harrod for first place in Opti Overall, Katherine Ness of Minnetonka placed third. Harrod won Opti Blue (age 11-12) followed by Minnetonka’s Ness and Katie Hanley. Bonsager won Opti Red (13-15) by a wide margin, followed by Minnetonka’s Jack Schuser and White Bear’s Matt Dresen.

Working wonders with wedges, Part 2
Most mid to high handicappers do not have a lot of confidence when it comes to hitting short wedges around the green. The pitch shot can be intimidating, and what I see most often is players either decelerating on the Tee Time downswing or stopping at impact and flipping their with Coach wrists. If you understand where Betsy the bottom of your swing Larey is and how the sand wedge works, with the right set up you can learn to hit this shot h t with ith confidence. I would like to point out that I believe a sand wedge is by far the best choice, a pitching wedge doesn’t have enough loft or the right bottom on the club for this shot. Your chipping skills will help you when you have plenty of green to work with, but with a tight pin or an obstacle between you and the green you need to have a shot with more loft. As I said in last weeks’ column, I think of the chip shot as nothing more than the hitting area of the full swing. The pitch is very similar, but you’re adding wrist hinge with forearm rotation, which will
give you a higher trajectory on the ball. So let’s start with the set up. The stance is similar to the chip shot; the stance is narrow and the feet are neutral. As the distance of your shot gets longer, your stance gets a little wider. Your weight should be on your left side, with the ball positioned inside your left heel. Your shoulders should be level, and the easiest way to do this is to relax your left elbow and pull it into your left side at address. Your spine will be tilting slightly to the left. On this pitch shot, your hands are just slightly ahead of the ball (shaft vertical, not pressing forward like the chip set up). You’re hitting the ground with the bounce on the bottom of the sand wedge and using the loft to get the ball airborne. Like the chip, the right elbow slides back along your side as you pivot back, but you will be adding wrist hinge right away as you slide your arm back. You will need to rotate your forearms during the takeaway in order to set your wrists and hands on the correct plane. And let me be clear on this. The plane is around your body, not “straight back” as many people play. To hit a low running pitch, you turn
the back of your left hand down on the takeaway. The left wrist will be cupped at the end of your backswing and will stay bowed throughout the downswing. At impact, the shaft will be vertical to the ground. To hit a higher pitch, you want to release the clubhead early with no forearm rotation. The shaft will be slightly tilted back a little at impact. The palm of your right hand faces up during the entire downswing. On most simple pitches, you want the hands to finish low with the clubhead finishing up and left. My swing thought is to put the butt of the club in my left pocket. Here’s how this shot differs from other pitch shot methods. Even though your arms are going to get just above your waist, the butt end of the club is not going to travel very far from address. Adding the wrist hinge increases the distance the clubhead travels. The clubhead will be pointing up towards the sky. The downswing starts with the lower body first then the shoulders. The speed of the pivot is what controls the distance. On the downswing, you want to feel the release of your wrists and the clubhead early. The bottom of your swing has already been established by your set up. You will have a slight pivot on the
backswing, but it’s important to keep your weight on your left side during the swing. After impact, the elbows fold into the left side (just like the chip) and the clubhead finishes high. The mistake made here is by trying to have too much arm swing. When you start by making a big arm swing with no body turn, you pull the handle of the club more and you lose the feel in your hands. I hope by now you understand that this pitch shot is all about feel. I think this version is a much easier shot to hit consistently, and your misses (if your set up is good and you’re using a sand wedge) are what I call “livable”.

The Music Instrument Mystery BY BRADEN WOHLFEIL 5TH GRADE LAKEAIRES ELEMENTARY
It was a beautiful spring day in the the town of White Bear Lake. Today was going to be exciting for everyone in town because there was going to be a music show at Sunrise Middle School. Lots of famous musicians were coming to this program and many people were coming to see them. Bill and Todd were two lucky bears because they had gotten VIP tickets to the show. The tickets would give them front row seats and a tour backstage before the show. Bill and Todd were walking along the sidewalk toward Sunrise Middle School. “I’m so excited,” exclaimed Todd. “Once we go backstage I can get my favorite artists to sign my poster.” “Yeah,” said Bill “and I’ m going to show off my recorder skills.” They both continued walking until they reached the school. Thousands of people were gathered outside the building in front of a giant stage. A man in a purple uniform walked up to them. “I heard you are the two lucky ones who got the VIP tickets,” said the man. “Is this true?” “Yes sir,” said Todd excitedly. “Then follow me,” said the man. Bill and Todd followed the man backstage where everyone was preparing. Todd screamed with delight and ran over to one of the musicians asking them to sign his poster. Bill was about to play a tune for one of his favorite artists when suddenly a lady gasped. Bill turned around to see what was going on. “My recorder is gone!” she said frantically. “So is my violin,” said a man holding a empty violin case. “We can help,” said Todd quickly. “We’ll look for them.” Todd started walking around the room looking behind almost everything. Bill starting looking around the backstage too. After a while Bill still hadn’t found anything. He was about to give up when he noticed an empty cheese puff bag and a trail of orange crumbs leading toward the back door.
“Hey Todd, I think I found something,” said Bill. Todd walked over to Bill. “What is it?” he said with anticipation on his face. Bill pointed at the trail and smiled. “Should we follow it?” he asked Todd. “Yeah,” said Todd, “let's catch that culprit.” They both opened the back door and walked onto a parking lot. In the distance two men were shoving musical instruments into the back of a van. “Hey!” shouted Todd angrily. The two men looked at them and started climbing into the van. Bill and Todd bolted toward the thieves and quickly dove into the back of the vehicle before it took off. The back of the van was filled with instruments of every kind. Flutes, trumpets, recorders, violins and drums. One of the culprits noticed Bill and Todd were in the van and climbed into the back. He tried to punch Todd but he missed. Bill made a quick move and shoved him into the side of the van. Todd found some rope and tied the man’ s hands and feet to make sure he wouldn’t escape. Then, together they climbed into the front of the van and tied up the driver. Bill got into the driver's seat and drove the van back to Sunrise Middle School. The musicians were very glad to see them when they arrived. “Did you catch the thieves?” said one of artists from the group. “Yes,” said another “did you get our instruments back?” “Yup,” said Todd. “They are in the back of the van.” All of the musicians quickly ran to the back of the van and got their instruments. The cops drove up, grabbed the two crooks and put them in the back of their car. Bill and Todd walked to where their seats were and sat down. “You know,” said Todd, “tonight was a little more exciting than I expected.” “Yeah no kidding,” said Bill “but I’ m glad we did a good deed for the people playing tonight.” Todd nodded and they both looked at the stage waiting for the show to start. They knew this was a day they would not soon forget. The End

Beethoven, One Direction, Bach, Adele, Sam Hunt, and so many more. The thing that all of these people have in common, it’s music! They are all different, but they are all musicians. Music is a part of our everyday lives, although we may not always realize it, it is. Whether you are tapping your fingers to beethoven’s “Fur Elise” at the office, running to Adele’s “Hello,” or even jamming out to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” on the way to the grocery store. Music is everywhere! Another thing you may not realize about music is the story. So, what the song is trying to tell you. For example, like how “Hello” by Adele was not only inspired by her family, but also by her fans! Or, how even Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” is about not letting mean people get the best of you! But, the point is, that no matter the artist,

lyrics, or genre of music, every song has a story. Finally, the last thing that may not catch our attention when listening to music is how it makes us feel. Do you ever notice the difference in your mood if you listen to a very sad song, like “Piece By Piece” by Kelly Clarkson, versus your mood after listening to “Happy” by Pharrell? Do you see? Well, when I did that I found that after listening to “Piece By Piece,” I felt kind of sad, and after listening to “Happy,” I felt energized and well, happy! So, the gist is that, depending on the tone of the song affects my mood. Yes, now you have learned all of these cool facts and experimental things, but I am forgetting the best part of music. It is the reason people took the time to record it: For people to listen. For people to listen and relate to what the musician is saying. So, in conclusion we may not always realize the aspects of music, but we will always love it!

elementary, and in 4th and 5th grade I sang with the church choir. When I transferred to Central Middle School, I already knew there would be many more opportunities for me to grow in musical talent. I had Ms. Suoja for choir in 6th grade, and I enjoyed it very much. However, what I didn’t know was how much I would grow, both musically and mentally, once I started the next year. On the first day of school in 2014, I walked into the choir room for period eight, tired of hearing classroom rules and seating charts. I knew right when I entered that Ms. Snortland would be different from all of my other teachers. She was full of energy and humor, yet managed to get everything done quickly and efficiently. Her class is unlike any other, and I grew so much under her guidance. In 7th grade, I learned to step outside of my comfort zone and try new things. I auditioned for the ACDA Honor Choir, though I didn’t get in. I tried out for Chamber Singers, and was placed as a soprano. That was one of the first groups where I truly felt like I belonged, almost like a family. My courage grew, and I auditioned for small groups (I was in one for both the winter and spring concerts). Choir was my solace. It was only natural that I sign up for choir again in 8th grade.
Eighth grade is not an easy year. Worries about grades, appearance, and pretty much everything else weigh you down like an overfilled backpack. Singing is one of the best ways I could forget troubles and just be free. Choir became my favorite class of the day. I joined the Chamber Singers again, and the new group grew as close as the last one was. I don’t think I could have gotten through middle school without choir. Ms. Snortland has shaped much of my life, even the nonmusical aspects. She has helped me achieve many things. She gave up some of her own time to coach me in auditioning for a musical last summer. Under her guidance, I was selected as an alto in the ACDA Honor Choir in 2015. However, she has helped me in more than just music. I trust her, and I can confide in her about any of my struggles, no matter how big or small. She has pushed me and encouraged me, and I have improved so much since last year. She has helped me find my wings and soar, and I will really miss middle school choir next year, but I know an even bigger musical adventure awaits in high school, and I can’t wait to get started. Music in White Bear Lake has left a huge impact on my life in many ways, and will continue to affect me and many others in numerous ways.

A new model for senior living in White Bear Lake BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — An employee using a clicker counted about 700 guests through the door June 21 at The Waters of White Bear Lake grand opening. Seniors 55 and older touring the facility viewed one and two-bedroom models, a pub, dining facilities and the well-being studio. The Waters doesn’t call the studio a fitness room. Well-being is part of its unique brand. The senior complex is the first to partner with the University of Minnesota’s Center for Spirituality & Healing, an interdisciplinary unit within the academic health centers founded in 1995. The center is working with The Waters to improve health and well-being through a holistic approach that uses physical, emotional and intellectual methods. The collaboration is a cutting edge relationship that no other senior group has with the university. “The unique program is part of The Waters brand,” said Mary Pat Ladner, vice president of marketing and communications. “We want people to understand that we are different and our wellness program is just one example of programs designed with residents in mind, with a focus on quality of life.” The Waters president Kyle Didier said White Bear Lake was a perfect fit for their market. “There are a lot of active seniors looking for high-quality programming,” he said. “We don’t consider ourselves assisted living, that is an old model. Our focus is to engage active seniors on a high level of socialization and allow them to stay in the community.” A lot of time and energy was put into the project, added Didier, who shared in the official ribbon-cutting alongside Mayor Jo Emerson and Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt. The mayor welcomed The Waters executives to White Bear Lake, noting the Minnetonka-based company invested $30 million in the city. “We’re glad to have you,” she said. Among The Waters’ seven senior living communities, White Bear is the newest. It features an on-site restaurant, cafe, pub, spa and salon services and 106 independent living apartments ranging from

NORTHEAST METRO 916 WHITE BEAR LAKE, MINNESOTA BOARD NOTES - MARCH 2, 2016 The regular meeting of the School Board of Northeast Metro 916 Intermediate School District was held on Wednesday, March 2, 2016, at 6:00 p.m. at Bellaire School and the following business was transacted. Meeting Called to Order The meeting was called to order by Vice Chair Forsberg at 6:05 p.m. Roll Call of Attendance Members present: Lodico-12, Lindblad-14, Erkel-15, Forsberg-16, Sager-621, Livingston-622, Azer-623, Newberg-624, Theisen-831, Schwartz-832, and Ptacek-834. Members absent: Palmer-13 and Brunnette-833. Also present: Connie S. Hayes, superintendent. The Board welcomed Laura Oksnevad from the St. Anthony-New Brighton School Board to the meeting. Approval of Agenda Adopted the agenda as posted, limited discussion to the approved agenda, and accepted the list of items proposed for consent adoption. Board Calendar Dates • Tuesday, March 29, 2016 – School Board Work Session at 6:00 pm CANCELLED • Tuesday, April 5, 2016 – School Board meeting at 6:00 p.m. Questions and/or Comments from Citizens Present on Non-Agenda Items None. Presentation: Special Education Assessment Center and Consultation Team Director of Special Education Dan Naidicz presented information on two of the unique services offered through special education, the Assessment Center and Consultation Team. The Assessment Center was established in 2009 at the request of member districts to provide comprehensive educational evaluation of students’ skills and school functioning. More recently, the Consultation Team was created to analyze both special education students and special education programs facing challenging situations in which conventional methods have not been successful. This team provides innovative, research-based interventions, geared toward achieving success for the student or program. Presentation: Joint Purchasing Contract Usage 2015 Director of Administrative Services Kristine Carr presented the school board with usage data of the joint purchasing contracts. Joint purchasing contracts are used by member and non-member districts to purchase a variety of supplies and furniture through specified manufacturers, and increases the buying power of the contract, which in turn lowers prices. The district currently has joint purchasing agreements with 80 public entities including school districts in Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin and one state university. Discussion: School Board Meeting Dates Our newest member district, St. Anthony-New Brighton, also holds their regular board meetings on the first Tuesday of the month. The administration is requesting that the Northeast Metro 916 School Board consider (a) an electronic meeting participation system as an option or (b) a change in their regular meeting date from the first Tuesday to the first Wednesday. The Board suggested conducting a survey of board member availability on the first Wednesday starting with the next school year (after August 1 since we don’t meet in July). The district will provide a set-up so that Member Oksnevad can participate electronically starting in April. Approval of the Consent Agenda Approved the consent items, accepted as part of the approval of the agenda, consistent with the recommended actions presented by the administration. Approval of Minutes Payment of Bills and Acknowledgment of Wire Transfer Report Personnel (Resignation, Employment, Termination, Change in Employment Status) Donations Contract Renewal – First Aid Supplies Primary Vendor – School Health Corporation Contract Renewal – Instructional & Office Supplies Primary Vendor – Office Depot Resolution Rescinding Proposed Placement on Unrequested Leave of Absence Rescinded School Board action taken at its regular meeting on February 3, 2016, proposing to place Linda Bestler (1.0 FTE), teacher-visual arts of said school district, on unrequested leave of absence (without pay or fringe benefits) effective at the end of the 2015-2016 school year no later than June 30, 2016, pursuant to Minn.

Approval of Letter of Agreement between Valley Crossing Community School Collaborating School Districts This will be the last year that the three member districts, South Washington County, Stillwater, and North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale, will contract with Northeast Metro 916 to run the program at Valley Crossing Community School. Northeast Metro 916 has run the collaborative school since its inception in the mid-90s. The school is being sold to South Washington County by the other two member districts. The school has been run as a separate district and all the revenues are dedicated to the program and all the expenses are paid by the program. A separate audit has been prepared for the school on an annual basis. Close-out costs, including some staffing related costs, result in both current year and potential subsequent year costs (such as potential unemployment costs). This agreement provides for the resolution of those costs that result from the withdrawal of the program from Northeast Metro 916 and specifies that the costs for doing so are paid by the three member districts.

ELLEN MAAS | SUBMITTED
Loon Chronicles III Birchwood resident Ellen Maas provided this update: “It is simply amazing how big the chick is getting. The parents are feeding it fresh fish every time we check in with the family. The chick is starting to display instinctual behaviors like wing flaps, foot waggle, preening, diving, assuming hunting and
fear positions, and just looking, oh so, cute. The chick’s diving skills are keeping the parents on alert. They have no idea when/where it will surface. We always have our motor in idle, because the chick actually swims under our boat from time to time.�

Presents Workforce Success Stories:
Showcasing Careers in Manufacturing and Skilled Trades EMPLOYEE’S HEARING DISABILITY IS NO OBSTACLE TO HIS SUCCESS WITH DUFRESNE MANUFACTURING By Nicola Kelley Hyser As a young boy growing up in a small town near Detroit Lakes, Dave Kuehl dreamt about becoming a pilot. His deafness, however, blocked that path to the skies and sent him on other roads … first, to Washington, D.C., to study IT at Gallaudet University, a private university for the deaf and hardof-hearing; then, to a technical college in Tampa, Florida, to study electrical engineering. Kuehl began working with Du Fresne Manufacturing in Vadnais Heights about 14 years ago, setting up and operating a Pemsetter – a machine that inserts hardware into precision metal parts. A few years later, he trained in and quickly mastered the operation of press brakes, which bends material into different shapes. Du Fresne’s customer base is diverse in the areas of defense, industrial, hi-tech, medical and telecom; Kuehl and fellow employees manufacture products such as enclosures for
X-ray equipment, radar systems and high-end computers. Over a year ago, Kuehl applied for his current position: Robotic Press Brake Programmer. Then, thinking he would have to sit in an office, he withdrew his application. His employers quickly addressed that concern, and today Kuehl trains fellow employees in operating the state-of-the-industry equipment … just as he has taught them sign language. Training for his new position was challenging at first because of communication issues, so Du Fresne hired an interpreter. In an online questionnaire, Kuehl wrote, “I like working at Du Fresne; they’re like family to me. There have been challenges, but I like learning new things. I’m grateful for this job; the Amada robotic machine is hi-tech, saves us a lot of time in production and is uncommon in North America.” Du Fresne now has two Amada machines, and Kuehl and another employee are among a handful in North America that can program them. What’s next on Kuehl’s goal-list? An engineering degree at Century College, then on-the-job training at Du Fresne. Kris Diemer, Du Fres-

SUMMER CARNIVAL Friday, July 15, 4:00 – 7:00 pm DAVE KUEHL, Du Fresne Employee ne’s VP of Human Development, says, “College-educated engineers who apply at Du Fresne are usually not as qualified as Dave because they don’t have his experience, skills and knowledge of the sheet metal fabrication industry. We’re very proud of his accomplishments and glad he’s on our team.” In the precision metal industry, Du Fresne Manufacturing excels at fostering employee development, innovation, state-of-the-industry technology and continuous improvement.
