Finding connection in isolation
W
hen Minnesota’s stay-at-home order went into effect, I worried that it would make me unbearably lonely. I live alone (aside from my 11-year-old cat), and my nearest immediate family members, my sister and my soon-to-be brotherin-law, live in Chicago—a full six-hour drive away. But now, over three months into the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve felt all the more connected to the people I love, as I’m talking to them much more often than normal. It makes for a strange irony that I find both sweet and sad—how my friend in France has felt no further away than my friend who lives a mere few blocks away. Although, of course, with the threat of COVID-19 still lingering and social distancing guidelines still in effect, that friend nearby doesn’t feel much closer. Like many of us, I have been heavily relying on video calls to stay in touch with loved ones over the last three months. I typically hate calls that add video to audio, despite how much I love on the phone. I will decline Between talking FaceTime requests from family and only to call them back on the the Lines friends, phone seconds later. I have never been Elizabeth Callen able to pinpoint my reason for such calls, which are certainly a marvel of modern technology, but I sometimes think of a passage from “Infinite Jest,” in which David Foster Wallace writes, in 1996, of the rise and fall of “videotelephony.” In the novel, videotelephony enjoys a brief popularity that is suddenly cut short when users realize it forces them to actually pay attention to the person on the other end of the line. “Videophone consumers seemed suddenly to realize that they’d been subject to an insidious but wholly marvelous delusion about conventional voice-only telephony. They’d never noticed it before, the delusion—it’s like it was so emotionally complex that it could be countenanced only in the context of its loss,” Wallace writes. “Good old traditional audio-only phone conversations allowed you to presume that the person on the other end was paying complete attention to you while also permitting you not to have to pay anything even close to complete attention to her.” In the months since COVID-19 struck Minnesota, I have downloaded Zoom onto my laptop and used it at least weekly—to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday, to virtually wish my grandparents a happy 65th wedding anniversary and to catch up with my closest college friends, now scattered across the country. Wallace is right that videotelephony forces you to pay attention, or at least it takes away your ability to secretly multitask. If you try to trim your fingernails, compose a grocery list or stir something on the stove midZoom call, it becomes obvious that you are not paying attention to your conversation partner. In these days of social distancing, when in-person gatherings have become a public health risk, I’ve been surprised by how fulfilling I’ve found FaceTime and Zoom calls, and how comforting it is to see the face of the person I am talking to in addition to hearing their voice. Having to look at them while they talk has made me pay better attention and listen more deeply. Of course, these virtual conversations cannot compare to the experience of actually being with another person. They sometimes feel like hollow substitutes for “the real thing,” and the longer the pandemic drags on, the more insufficient they seem. I miss spending Sunday mornings at church, being able to invite friends over for dinner and celebrating birthdays and anniversaries with my family in Michigan rather than staring at a screen while sitting in my living room. But someday, hopefully soon, the worst of the virus will be behind us and we can begin returning to these small but sacred rituals. Quarantine has forced us to slow down our lives as we collectively try to slow the spread of coronavirus. When cases begin to fall and day-to-day life regains some semblance of normalcy, I hope that these realizations of how reflection and rest can enable connection. I am thankful that Zoom has helped me learn that. Elizabeth Callen is the editor of the Shoreview Press. She can be reached at shoreviewnews@presspubs.com or 651-407-1229. Distributed weekly in:

Slow down, obey the speed limit
ith reduced traffic the last several months, it would seem the risk on Minnesota roads would be reduced. Unfortunately, many drivers have chosen to use the open roads as a license to speed. To help put the brakes on speed-related deaths and educate motorists, officers, deputies and troopers will work overtime shifts June 22 through July 19. Law enforcement agencies across the state will participate in the campaign coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety (DPSOTS).
Movers & Shakers
Speeding incidents on the rise Excessive Minnesota speeding over Department of recent months Public Safety is troubling and requires Minnesotans to commit to slowing down this summer. • From April 1 to May 21, the Minnesota State Patrol pulled over 232 drivers traveling more than 100 mph. That’s compared to 93 drivers during the same time period last year, a 149% increase. Of the 232 drivers, 179 were 30-years-old or younger. • Overall fatal crashes and fatalities from March 16 - May 31 increased over last year despite reduced traffic. • While a crash can have more
than one contributing factor, speed was the most frequently cited factor. All fatal crashes and fatalities for March 16 through May 31: • 2020: 61 (67 deaths) • 2019: 52 (55 deaths) • 2018: 65 (71 deaths) • 2017: 62 (65 deaths) • 2016: 66 (70 deaths) • 2015: 81 (85 deaths) Preliminary reports show speed has already contributed to 36 motorists dying on Minnesota roads in 2020, compared with 27 at this time last year. Long-term trends are also discouraging. When comparing preliminary numbers for the five-year periods of 2010 to 2014 to 2015 – 2019: • There has been a 7%increase in speed-related fatalities. • From 2010 to 2014, 22% of all serious injuries were speedrelated. From 2015 to 2019, it was 27%. Summer and speed – Make the safe choice Drivers who think speeding is not a big deal risk more than just a speeding ticket: • During the 100 most traveled days (Memorial Day through Labor Day) in 2019, preliminary numbers show speed played a role in 31 fatalities. • During the 100 most traveled days in the past five years (20152019), preliminary numbers show that 125 people lost their lives in speed-related crashes.
• In 2019, speed was a contributing factor in 26% of single-vehicle crashes. Consequences • Citations could cost $100 or more plus court fees. • Increased insurance fees. • A motor vehicle crash involving speed could result in criminal or civil penalties. Higher speeds, bigger problems • Greater potential for loss of vehicle control. • Increased stopping distance. • Less time for driver response for crash avoidance. • Increased crash severity leading to more severe injuries and death. If confronted with an aggressive driver • Get out of their way; disengage. Move right, if you are able. • Stay calm — reaching your destination safely is your goal. • Do not challenge them. • Avoid eye contact. • Ignore gestures and don’t return them. • Report aggressive driving (vehicle description, license number and location). The Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) comprises 10 divisions operating programs in the areas of law enforcement, crime victim assistance, traffic safety, alcohol and gambling, emergency communications, fire safety, pipeline safety, driver licensing, vehicle registration and emergency management.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Education is the foundation After the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, we saw weeks of walkouts and protests. Two things occur when people walk out: They defy authority and risk consequences. Neither of these applied to the socalled walkouts. Adults enabled and gave their permission for the protests. Also, the absent students were counted as excused. Therefore, they were not walkouts. The TV openly showed school buses across the country dropping students off at state capitols to protest. This makes these field trips. Of course, educators were too spineless to call them field trips because they might be asked what the educational objective was. Activist training appears to be taking place. And the media was once again happy to promote the lie. Now years later and out of high school, some of those same kids are eager for some advanced training in protest and rioting. And were Mayor Jacob Frey and Minneapolis city leaders willing to give up their city for such activities? The answer was obvious. Education and progressive leadership have set the tone. And there better not be any consequences now. The precedent has been set. Welcome to the new world order. Neal Philastre Vadnais Heights
Explore your belief system In last week’s letter, “Talk about race,” the writer shares with us some intimate details about her actions on race and racism and concludes with, “I strive to be an anti-racist and assist in social transformation.” She supports her views with a quote from Angela Y. Davis and provides a warm bio of Ms. Davis as “an American black feminist, activist and scholar.” I would like to provide two additional quotes from Angela Y. Davis, along with a bio from Wikipedia: … is an American political activist, philosopher, academic, Marxist feminist, and author. Member Communist Party USA (1969-1991) and remains a founding member of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS.) CCDS permits dual membership in the Democratic Socialists of America, Socialist Party USA and the Communist Party USA. Here are two quotes from Ms. Davis on the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party USA, 2019. “Socialism is the only viable future for our country and planet.” And, “With its century-old history of struggle, the Communist Party is well-positioned to offer expertise, experience and Marxist analyses that will assist the resistance movements to grow and develop.” Racism is wrong. Debates or discussions about racism require a belief system beyond the color of one’s
skin. My belief system is based on a moral code, religion and views on economics and government. I would ask all readers, "What is your belief system?" Jerry Freeman Mahtomedi
Vote with an absentee ballot I have been an election judge but stepped down because voters will not be required to wear masks in the voting area. They will be offered a mask, sanitizer, etc. Due to a health condition, I cannot take a chance on unmasked voters. I ask you to request an absentee ballot so you can vote by mail. It is the safest way to vote and will reduce the number of people at the polling place. You can request an absentee ballot online at MNVotes.org, or call 651-2151440. If you are healthy and available, I encourage you to be an election judge. Judges are needed for the Aug. 11 and Nov. 3, 2020 elections. Training begins in July so please decide soon. Kathy Meyer Pittelko Vadnais Heights
Community support humbling We would like to thank Greg Pariseau for his acknowledgement of our Rotary’s statement on racism. Support from the community like this is humbling and is what we will need as we progress along this journey to create more just, open and welcoming communities for all people. As a member of a large international community of Rotarians, we are open to all in our community who are interested in supporting this purpose and working toward this goal. We are currently meeting virtually via Zoom; if you are interested in virtually visiting with us, please visit whitebearrotary.org/ for meeting information and times. John Channon President, WBL Rotary
Support for medical aid in dying As the election approaches, it’s time to fi nd out which local candidates support your positions. I am in favor of passing legislation to allow medical aid in dying in Minnesota. I believe terminally ill Minnesotans of sound mind should be allowed to receive medication they can self-ingest for a peaceful, less painful death, if their suffering becomes unbearable. Some may feel it’s an unwise political move to support such legislation, but studies and history have shown that in states that have passed such legislation, the majority of legislators that were primary bill sponsors who sought re-election were re-elected. Others think that medical aid in dying will be abused or used with
coercion. In the past 10 years that it has been in place in multiple states, there is not one single proven case of abuse or coercion. Use of medical aid in dying is totally optional for health care professionals and the patient. Let’s treat our loved ones as kindly as we treat our pets at the end of their lives. I am not alone in this position. A majority of Minnesotans (68-73%) hold this same view, that every person should be able to make end-of-life decisions that are consistent with their values and work best for them and their families. Hospice can work, but doesn’t always. I have been in hearings where palliative care doctors claim hospice takes care of the concern about painful deaths. “Palliative care” is synonymous with “comfort care.” I know from personal experience that hospice can succeed, but it can also fail miserably. As my husband was dying in pain, the system was unable to get the needed pain medications to his hospice facility for over seven hours. “Comfort care” was unavailable to him, even though he was in a licensed hospice facility in a St. Paul suburb in 2016, not 20 years ago! There needs to be another alternative! He would have welcomed access to medications to end his life that day. If you also support medical aid in dying, be sure to ask your candidates for their position on this issue before casting your vote. Carole Moore White Bear Lake
Thanks for taking action Odelis Anderson, and Robert Anderson and I (the organizers of the “Standing up to Racism: Educate and Eradicate” event) would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the approximately 500 participants who joined us on Saturday, June 27th in downtown White Bear Lake. We would also like to express our thanks to everyone who helped behind the scenes including historians from local and state historical societies and all of our local White Bear Lake residents who spoke and shared their stories during the tour. Without the help of these historians, speakers, and all other volunteers, the event would not have been as successful. We were overwhelmed and excited to see the large number of people vowing to take action and stand up to racism in our community. If you are interested in taking action to eradicate racism as well, please go to our list of action steps at bit.ly/actionstepswbl (case sensitive link). Thank you once again to all volunteers and speakers. We are heartened to see such solidarity, and hope that the community can take real and lasting action to educate themselves and eradicate racism.

Racism versus black-and-white responsibility As a flight surgeon at Andrews Air Base in Washington, D.C., I became aware of toxic racism. Three white dentists planned to attend a dental convention in Dallas. They invited a Black dentist to join them. He respectively refused saying they would be discriminated against. This occurred in the early 60s. Finally, they convinced him to come with them. They found out what racism is. They were not allowed in white-only restaurants. They ended up eating in drive-ins. They had to use open fields for toilet needs. At night they slept in the car since hotels and motels were for whites only. They now understand the insanity of racism. A fellow physician who grew up in the deep south related how he and his buddies would drive down a road at night and extend a 2x4 out the car window and bash Black people on the back of their heads while walking on the side of the roads. On our visit to South Africa before Apartheid was outlawed, we saw an insulting sign on a Durban beach which read, “This beach is for exclusive use of the white race.” At our Air Force clinic we worked smoothly with our black airmen and clinic manager. We were color blind and treated our airmen with respect. The death of George Floyd was unjustified use of excessive force, but all police officers shouldn’t be painted with the same brush. Nobody talks about citizens provoking police confrontations. Only police are blamed. Where is the outrage against perpetrators of violence, looting and arson? There would be little conflict if everyone followed the law and let the courts decide guilt or innocence rather than to challenge and disrespect the police. Much of the conflict with the police could be avoided if everyone accepted criminal justice. We should defend the police, not defund them. My son was a St. Paul police commander and treated people of all races with respect. No police wife or husband should worry if he or she will come home at night. 89 police officers were killed in the line of duty in 2019. Should Black people pay descendents for over 200,000 Union solders that gave their lives to free the slaves? We are all children of God and need to follow the Lord’s commandment, “Do unto others as you would want others to do unto you.” Thomas J. Briggs, M.D. Mahtomedi
COMMUNITY BRIEFS The YMCA has launched 7Summits, a free, virtual cardio, strength and mindfulness challenge kids can do this summer. In the 7Summits expedition, kids “climb" up and down the seven highest mountains in the world by completing several 5-15 minute activities while also learning about the mountains. 7Summits and other activities and games can be found at 12Bursts.org.
Rice Street ramp closed The exit ramp from westbound I-694 to Rice Street was expected to close to traffic on June 29 at press time and is expected to remain closed through late summer. Motorists will detour on westbound I-694 to the Victoria Street exit ramp and then go eastbound on I-694 to the Rice Street exit ramp. The I-694/Rice Street interchange project began last year and will improve traffic flow and create better pedestrian and bike facilities
along Rice Street. Visit ramseycounty.us/694Rice for more information.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF
JULY 1, 2020
RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township:
Fight in fishing boat leads to assault charges A St. Paul man has been charged with two counts of domestic assault — a felony assault by strangulation and a gross misdemeanor assault — after Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a domestic incident reported occurring on a small fishing boat near the shoreline of Bald Eagle Lake early on June 14. Luke Allen Daniels, 37, faces up to three years in prison and/or a $5,000 fine for pulling his brother, a Farmington man, 35, into the water, putting him in a choke hold and holding him under water. The pair had been drinking in the boat with a friend until well after midnight and had gotten into an argument. Daniels told deputies his brother hit him with a bottle when they were in the boat. When he tried to get the bottle from his brother, they both went into the water, he said. He also said his brother was blowing the incident way out of proportion. The third man in the boat said he thought Daniels was going to kill his brother and that Daniels didn't allow his brother to breathe again until they heard police sirens. Daniels has a prior conviction relating to domestic violence and was sentenced for terroristic threats in Washington County District Court in October 2016.
Vadnais Heights • A Lindstrom man reported being robbed at gunpoint of his phone and wallet at 2:32 a.m. June 15 as he walked along the road in the 1000 block of County Road D following an argument with a girlfriend. • Lakeridge Liquors in the 100 block of Vadnais Blvd. West on June 16 reported two bottles of high-cost liquor stolen by two males. • Medications were reported stolen from a vehicle parked in the 4000 block of Stockdale Drive overnight June 16-17. • A Lindstrom man reported that tools and miscellaneous items were stolen June 19 from a house in the 4200 block of Rice Street that was being prepared for sale. • A St. Paul man, 36, was cited June 19 on Edgerton Street and Vadnais Blvd. East for disorderly conduct after Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies investigating a vehicle parked on the sidewalk discovered him fi shing on Vadnais Lake with three poles. • Gephart Electric in the 3500 block of Labore Road on June 19 reported an attempted fraud using information stolen from their business. The fraud attempt was stopped. • A Vadnais Heights woman reported her purse was stolen from the trunk of her vehicle June 19 as it was parked in the north lot of Sucker Lake in the 100 block of County Road F, after a back window was broken for access.

The vehicle occupied by the pair was towed. • A jet ski stolen from White Bear Lake and a trailer stolen from a White Bear Township driveway were reported found June 17 in the back area of a property in the 5600 block of Portland Avenue, following a report of suspicious activity. Both items were returned to their owners. • A vehicle with stolen plates and containing meth was reported found June 17 on a lawn at the corner of Pioneer Lane and Dillon Street.

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:
Grant • A resident in the 6000 block of Jasmine Court N. reported fi nding a large stash of alcohol hidden next to a tree by the roadway June 7. As no other residents live on that street, the liquid was dumped into the ditch and the containers recycled. • Theft from motor vehicle was reported June 7 at the Gateway Trail lot at Dellwood Road and Kimbro Avenue. • A resident in the 11000 block of 66th Street N. on June 8 reported learning that someone had applied for unemployment benefits in his name and was receiving money, after receiving a username and password for the account. The complainant is not out any money.
Other Grant residents on June 9 and June 11 reported the same fraud. • A resident in the 8000 block of Jamaca Avenue N. on June 9 reported buying a 1964 Dodge Dart off the internet for $10,000 after being assured the vehicle was in good condition. On taking possession of the vehicle, however, the complainant realized the vehicle was not even safe to drive and he would have to pay $4,000 just to make it drivable. Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies advised the complainant on how to take the seller to criminal court. • A resident in the 10000 block of Kelman Court N. on June 9 reported an attempted Xcel scam, during which he was told he needed to pay $500 or his power would be shut off. The complainant recognized it was a scam. • A jet ski reported stolen out of White Bear Township was recovered June 9 in the weeds near
117th Street N. and Goodview Avenue N. When deputies arrived at the victim's residence, the complainants were at that moment on the phone to Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies reporting the jet ski as stolen. The trailer on which the jet ski sat did not belong to the complainant, however, and its owner could not be established.
• A resident on Echo Lake Blvd. on June 9 reported a scam attempt via secret shopper.
Mahtomedi

Mahtomedi readies for multiple back-to-school scenarios BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The question on everyone’s mind is: Will distance learning be coming back to school in the fall? In the fi nal weeks before school is due to start at the beginning of September, Minnesota school districts will be heading down one of three roads in the era of COVID-19. “We’ve been told we need to come up with plans for three different scenarios,� Mahtomedi School District Superintendent Barb Duffrin said. The three scenarios are in-person learning, distance learning as practiced during the spring, and a hybrid of these two scenarios. Once we all learn the education format at the end of July, it won’t be the start of everyone thinking about what they’ll be doing. Everyone is already thinking about that now, Duffrin said. “Our task is to plan what going back to school will look like in our district if we are to resume school in person,� Duffrin said. The district will go through all its public health documents and have measures in place, she said. “We’ve identified core areas in how to maintain relationships between students and staff, how to continue rigorous instruction that is equitable, how we are flexible and how to maintain educational access for all students,� she said. The planning process includes feedback from student families. An end-of-year survey gathered input about experiences with distance learning. Another survey will ask families for their input on the three different scenarios. At the end of July, the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) will announce which of the scenarios educators are going to use. Mahtomedi will have had its own plans for that scenario already drafted, Duffrin said. “In other words, we’ll take our usual amount of resources and triple-plan,� said Board Chair Lucy Payne. “Then we’ll be told which one it is.� “We all hope we’ll be (educating) in person,� Duffrin said. “There is a strong possiblity we can start that way and possibly switch to a hybrid format. The intent is to be able to
“We all hope we’ll be (educating) in person. There is a strong possiblity we can start that way and possibly switch to a hybrid format. The intent is to be able to switch back and forth, too.â€? Barb Duffrin Mahtomedi School District Superintendent switch back and forth, too.â€? A hybrid format would require the district to be at 50% capacity within its buildings, which requires a very different way of doing things, Duffrin said. “That would be challenging.â€? The plan the district has developed currently will be ready by the end of July, Duffrin said. “We plan to be as ready as possible to say ‘This is what we’re going to do’ when we are told what we can do.â€? The district is planning as though everyone will be there, Duffrin said. The plan includes what the Mahtomedi district will need in terms of hand sanitizer and plexiglass partitions, for example. “We will be ready with those things by the start of the school year,â€? she said. Some of those details the administration is talking about include what education would look like with students wearing masks. That part is more complicated, Duffrin said, especially with younger students and students who can’t wear masks for health reasons. School bus costs could amount to an additional $1 million if changes to bus schedules are made to accommodate fewer students on each bus, said Jeff Priess, director of Finance and Operations. “Unlike Wisconsin, we can’t reveal all the details of what we’re going to do until after the magical date of July 27, when we have more information from the MDE,â€? Payne said. In other action, the board: • Discussed the board member calendar for the months of July and August. • Heard the superintendent’s endof-year summary from Payne. The board met at a closed study session
earlier in the month to review the superintendent’s job performance. The board found that Duffrin, a second-year superintendent, performed very well with all the stress and changes, despite the difficult year, Payne said. Board members found Duffrin to be a strong leader and were unanimous in their support and evaluation of her as a high-quality superintendent for the district to help the district move forward, Payne said. Duffrin thanked the board for the recognition and reminded the board that she works with a strong team. “Some of many things you see coming from the district is the result of our team, which I consider exceptional,â€? she said. • Approved donations from May totaling $33,132.19. Highlights include $13,000 from an anonymous donor for Mahtomedi area preschool student needs; $12,000 from the Mahtomedi Youth Hockey Association for Mahtomedi Community Education programs; $1,600 from the Mahtomedi Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) for Wildwood Elementary Discovery Streaming; $1,500 from the Mahtomedi Middle School Parent Association for Mahtomedi Middle School field trips; and $1,000 from Alise Bifulk for the Mahtomedi area preschool program. • Following a third reading, approved policy No. 713, related to student activity accounting. Recent legislation has revised accounting and reporting standards relating to student activity accounts, effective July 1, 2019. A change in the extracurricular activities portion of the general statement of policy notes that the school board will take charge of
and control all student activity accounting relating to extracurricular activities and updates the defi nition of extracurricular activities. • Approved the 92-page 2020-2021 student and family handbook. This is a districtwide handbook with specifics by building, Duffrin said. There may be updates to the handbook communicated to the public during the year, she said. • Approved the 2021-22 Long Term Facilities Maintenance (LTFM) 10-year plan. The plan represents a prioritization of deferred maintenance projects needed to protect the public investment in district facilities. This prioritization is performed by a physical assessment of facilities led by district maintenance staff. The board must approve this plan every year. The plan will then be submitted to the MDE for approval. Participation in the LTFM revenue program ensures funding, which is estimated to be $1.3 million for the 2021-22 school year. • Approved the NE Metro 916 Intermediate School District’s Long Term Facilities Maintenance budget. Intermediate school districts have access to LTFM revenue provided that member districts authorize support for their proportionate share of the costs. The intermediate district’s 2021-22 budget for LTFM is estimated at $173,000, and the proportionate share for ISD #832 is estimated at $6,139.02. • Approved the 2020-2021 preliminary budget. The board is required to approve the preliminary budget, an overview of the expenditure plan, for the upcoming school year before the fi scal year begins on July 1. The outlook for the next fi scal year shows a $437,000 surplus of revenue over expenditures and a projected fund balance of $3.6 million, Priess said. • Approved the 2020-21 resolution for membership in the Minnesota State High School League. The board next meets at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27, in the District Center Community Room, 1520 Mahtomedi Ave., or by Zoom videoconferencing.

In-home health care: Another option for medical care BY KATIE LEIBEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER
When we think of health care workers, the fi rst thing that comes to mind of late are those in hospitals saving the lives of patients with severe coronavirus cases. There is another group, however, which has been largely forgotten: in-home health care workers. Employees of Advanced Medical Homecare of White Bear Lake have been working tirelessly through the pandemic to assist vulnerable groups with everything from skilled nursing to home health aides. They provide in-home health care so when a client is homebound, they can still receive those services. As with many other industries in the COVID-19 crisis, Advanced Medical Homecare has had to adapt and make changes for the safety of its clients, and the company has risen to this challenge. “I have been really grateful for the communication our company has had. It felt like from the very beginning Advanced Medical took this very seriously,� said Siri Rydholm, an occupational therapist and marketer with the group. “Every decision they make is centered around the employees, the clients and the people we work with.� The home-care organization has worked to provide employees with face shields, masks, gloves and more to keep both employees and clients safe. Its goal? To continue to serve community members while minimizing any and all risks. They’ve even developed plans for serving those with the virus or who have been exposed to it by screening patients and providing employees with gowns and shoe covers to use as needed. “I feel safe, but I also feel cautious. I’m also careful outside of work,� Rydholm said. Rydholm added that she and other employees are doing their best to minimize contact with people outside of their jobs as well. They are not going home and hanging out with their families and friends but are maintaining distance as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and wearing masks and personal protective equipment while in public places.

The transition hasn’t all been a walk in the park — there were problems acquiring hand sanitizer for employees at the beginning of the outbreak — but Advanced Medical has adapted and found solutions, including a concoction of soap and paper towels for cleanliness on the go. The commitment to keeping clients safe and healthy has always been a priority for the group, now more so than ever. Rydholm is encouraging those who are on the fence or curious about the group’s services to look into it. “I understand the concerns people have about letting health care workers into their homes, but it can actually be proactive. In-home care is one of the safest and most effective ways to receive medical care at this time. It’s much less risky than going to a clinic,� she said. In-home care is often a need that cannot wait. While COVID has put much of our lives on hold, it has become more than apparent that life does not stop. Children still need to learn, people still need to buy groceries and older adults still need assistance in their homes to keep them independent and safe. One of the biggest concerns is that geriatric adults are postponing care during this time. Not only do aging bodies physically need help at times as we get weaker with age, but it is important for people, especially older adults, to continue to participate in life to combat depression and memory issues associated with aging. “I went to see a woman on a Monday, and when I walked in she teared up and said, ‘Oh my goodness. I haven’t seen someone in 72 hours, and that just starts to mess with you,’� Rydholm said. The outbreak is also not helping with lack of interpersonal relations, maintaining routines and staying active, but Rydholm has come across some ways to keep people motivated and busy. “One creative gentleman said he established a basic schedule for himself,� she said. He would set aside specific days for calling people, shaving and other basic tasks to give himself something to look forward to or accomplish, which is important for combatting cognitive decline. Rydholm also encourages phone calls or seeing

spent 12 years as a theme designer for Taymark in White Bear. I put my art on the back burner for over 15 years but started painting in earnest in 2011.
Q: Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?
Pamela Rutz R t
A: I grew up in White Bear Lake from the age of 4. My husband and I bought a house on the east side of St. Paul where I bought up my three children. I am now back in the home I grew up in.
Q: What medium do you work in?
Q: What is the most rewarding part about creating your art? A: Getting the personality of the person or pet and seeing the reaction of people when they see the piece.
Q: What is most challenging? A: It took a long time deciding what I wanted to create before I realized I wanted to paint. Once I realized I wanted to paint, I had to think about what I really loved and paint that. Since I love animals and portraits, I started to paint my pets and my family and it progressed from there. It has been difficult to market myself.
A: Acrylic paint or pastels.
Q: Are you a full-time artist or do you have a day job? Q: Did you have an influence growing up that led you to become an artist? How long have you been doing this?

Q: How about a final comment that sums up how you feel about what you do? A: I am passionate about painting, but I also try to be disciplined. When I was laid off for six weeks, I tried to spend eight hours a day painting and creating, challenging myself to make cards or do a painting every day.

Washington Square Bar & Grill reopens for takeout
LIKE CLOCKWORK, CHICK NO. 1 WAS BORN ON JUNE 25, 2020, AT 6:15AM AND CHICK NO. 2 FOLLOWED 24 HOURS LATER. THE CHICKS ARE A SPUNKY CREW AND DEFINITELY ARE PUTTING THEIR PARENTS THROUGH THEIR PACES.
After shutting down upon learning that an employee had tested positive for COVID-19, Washington Square Bar & Grill is open again for takeout, as the employee in question had falsely tested positive for the virus. In an email, Washington Square said that an employee took a COVID-19 test on Monday, June 15, and received a call from a nurse the next day saying the test was positive. The employee alerted Washington Square, which immediately shut down the restaurant and requested all staff members with whom the employee had come in contact to be tested as well. “The employee in question then received a letter from the MDH (Minnesota Department of Health) saying they had actually tested negative. All the employees in question also tested negative,” the restaurant said, meaning there were no cases of COVID-19 at the restaurant. “We still believe we took the correct and necessary precautions given the information we had last week.” As of press time, Washington Square on reopening Monday, June 29, for takeout while hiring and training new staff in order to expand to dine-in service as soon as possible.

Loon Chronicles V: A very successful hatch
Ace at Dellwood
The 4th Annual Lake Links Ride Around the Lake will take place on Saturday, July 18. Check -in is 8:45-9 a.m. at the starting point, West Park, 2350 11th Street. Riders will be separated into groups of 10-12 and depart every 15 minutes. The ride is approximately 10 miles and the event includes optional stops where participants can learn more about the Lake Links Trail. Riders should be at least 12 years old and helmets are required. Masks are also required as participants gather at West Park before and after the event, and at trail stops. Register at lakelinks.net.
Bear Water Run canceled
Finally, a successful hatch on the manmade nest! We estimated that if all went according to Blair Oklobzija made a hole-in-one Saturday at Dellplan, the first chick would arrive by the end of this month. Chick No. 1 appeared from underwood Country Club on the 137-yard No. 12 hole, using neath her mother’s wing on June 25, 2020 at 6:15am and enjoyed a brief 24 hour period being a 9 iron. the center of attention before Chick No. 2 arrived, 24 hours later. On the eve of the second chick’s arrival, the Loon pair joined a third Loon to socialize and fish together, leaving their brand new chick alone on the nest for half an hour. We noticed a small pip in the egg and observed the chick watching over her emerging sibling. The next morning, we were greeted by two spunky little chicks, along with their very attentive and doting parents. Loon chicks do not need instruction in swimming and are able to join their parents in the water immediately after hatch. We watched both chicks crawl under www.whitebearlions.org the wings of their parents and ride their backs. The male Loon www.e-clubhouse.org/sites/hugomn dutifully delivered small fish to the chicks, on and off the www.e-clubhouse.org/sites/wildwoodmn female Loon’s back. Feeding chicks is not easy and requires patience. The chicks like to pick at each other, bite each other’s bills, pull their parents’ feathers, and have already picked up on foot waggles and wing flaps. The Loon parents spent part of the second day taking turns sitting on the nest with the chicks, before moving on completely from the nest. We are hopeful that they will stay in the quiet bay where the nest was placed. So far, so good. Say a little Loon prayer, that the new Loon family can stay safe from predators, jet skis, and fast boats. We remain optimistic.
The Lion's Bear Water Run event has been canceled for 2020. It is being planned for September 11, 2021.

America was still in the midst of the Revolutionary War and had not yet won its independence, but July 4 has been commemorated as “America's birthday” since the 18th century. The end of the Revolutionary War would not come until the 1780s and was spurred by the British surrender at the Battle of Yorktown. British General Charles Cornwallis led his troops to a port in British-occupied Yorktown, Virginia, expecting aid in the form of the arrival of British ships, sent from New York. But those ships never arrived, thanks to the French joining forces with America. The French navy kept British ships from entering through the York River or the Chesapeake Bay, and French General Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau and George Washington led 17,000 troops to surround Yorktown. The Franco-American siege exhausted the British army's supply of food and ammunition, and with no hope of victory, Cornwallis agreed to Washington's Articles of Capitulation, signing the document on Oct. 19, 1781. Fighting did formally end until 1783, but with the surrender at Yorktown, Great Britain had given up any chance of winning the Revolutionary War, effectively securing an American victory. Since 1776, July 4 has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to family gatherings and backyard barbeques.

part of the solution.” Turtle friendly, or surmountable, curbing is planned for the north (trail) side of the road. The reptiles can crawl up the curbing to access the wetlands. Barrier curbs on the south side will have concrete flumes that drain into the wetlands. Like a spillway, turtles can climb those areas to reach the wetlands. “There is no guarantee turtles will use the flumes but it’s the only thing we could
do,” Guilliams said. “A barrier curb protects people from driving off the road into the water.” There will be turtle crossing signs as well, added Wolgamot, who admitted “it pains me that people hit turtles. Why would you hit a turtle?” Lake Links has another $4 million ‘ask’ this legislative (special) session. “We are still part of the Senate bonding bill and a small part of the House bill,” according to Wolgamot. The lake trail project
received $4 million in 2018 from the state with $2.6 million allocated for South Shore Boulevard and $1.4 million for Mahtomedi. The current funding request is mostly for the Dellwood segment, some small stuff in Birchwood, plus pieces on the north end of the lake along Highway 96 owned by the city and township. “That would fi nish it,” Wolgamot said. Once the Birchwood Road project is done, Lake Links in Mahtomedi is complete.

LEVEL UP: ‘We are proud to lease to the academy’ FROM PAGE 1
The party interested in the property is Inverwood LLC. There is an agreement in place. Oren wouldn’t say what the purchase price is for the acreage — there are four parcels — but alluded to a figure “north of $2.5 million.” The church pastor was adamant that a buyer “can’t kick the school out.” They can, however, choose not to extend the lease once it terminates. The property will likely be zoned for multifamily housing, according to Oren. He attended the neighborhood meeting last month to talk about Inverwood’s interest and indicated it was a possible use. “We’ve also had people talk to us about retail, child care and office space,” he added. Still, Oren said the school “could be a potential buyer for the property.” When Rockpoint leased to Level Up five years ago, language was put in the lease that stipulates it extends to a new owner. “We gave the school up to 15 years when the documents originated. We felt that was as many years
SUBMITTED
The church, originally called Lakewood Evangelical, has owned the land on County Road E since 1969. After outgrowing the facility, property was purchased in Lake Elmo and the church relocated in 2006, changing its name to Rockpoint. The property has been for sale ever since.
as you could realistically plan.” There was hearsay that the school would get kicked out if a deal closes. “Someone put a flyer together and told people stuff that was misleading, like the building would get demolished,” Oren said. “I don’t know how these rumors get around; it’s not even close to true.” The church probably gets a call once a month about the real estate, Oren said. “It’s a property of interest to people. The challenge is affordability. The value keeps going up. And
the school has difficulty making a commitment beyond a few years.” White Bear Lake Community Development Director Anne Kane said future redevelopment would involve a neighborhood mixed guiding for the property to allow multifamily. The concept depicts multifamily housing, with townhomes further down the corridor, then transitioning to single-family homes. “We want to provide the best suitable buyer or tenant we can,” Oren asserted. “We want to be a good commu-
nity member and good stewards of the property. When we transitioned from churches renting the property to the school, we felt it was something the community could get excited about. As an owner, we are proud to lease to the academy. They do a great job.” Rockpoint broke ground for its new church at 2600 County Road E in 1972. Only then it was the Lakewood Evangelical Free Church, led by Rev. Donald Leigh. The name changed about the time the church relocated to Lake Elmo.
WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES
In other business at the June 23 City Council meeting: • A $59,000 contract to complete miscellaneous concrete projects was awarded to L’Allier Concrete of Hugo. The work involves fixing sidewalks, curbs and a new apron in front of Fire Station No. 2. • Approved a general obligation bond sale in amount of $4.44 million. Council approved sale of a bond in May to finance street projects, a fire truck, dump truck and north water tower improvements. Finance Director Kerri Kindsvater said the city was given an AA+ credit rating for the sale by S&P Global, one step below the
highest AAA rating. “The strong rating is attributable to council accomplishments in implementing capital improvement plans and long-range financial management plans and policies,” she said. Five investment firms bid on the bond. A return customer, Robert W. Baird & Co. out of Milwaukee, bought the bond at a 1.40% interest rate, lower than original projections. “Timing was good for the city. Investors are seeking stable bonds, like general obligation municipal bonds,” noted Kindsvater. Interestingly, the credit rating report noted that “absent the implications of COVID-19, the city of White Bear Lake is one of just six cities to participate in the Climate-Smart Municipalities Exchange Program with Germany.” Opportunities from development and research in environmental projects could benefit the city’s local economy and reduce future environmental costs, it read. “In our view, the city’s environmental efforts reflect social opportunities that we consider in line with sector peers. We note that ongoing protests and property damage to the Minneapolis area and certain suburbs has not affected White Bear Lake.” The Standard and Poors report further noted that White Bear Lake’s economy is “very strong.” • Due to lack of a motion, an agenda item added at the meeting failed to pass.
Staff recommended a resolution temporarily suspending solicitors from door-to-door sales. Juba said staff discussed the suspension after receiving a license request. “We looked through the governor’s order and it’s unclear if going door to door is allowed (due to COVID-19),” Juba said. “Other cities have put a pause on this during the pandemic, which we also recommend. That doesn’t prohibit companies from reaching out by phone.” Edberg said he preferred to let citizens decide if they wanted to open the door to a solicitor, “rather than pushing people to make more unwanted phone calls.” Councilman Bill Walsh agreed. “I’m a political consultant by trade. We have people knocking on doors for candidates. We ran into very few (people) this month who weren’t receptive.” Walsh said he’s not afraid of solicitors in the city, adding, “I don’t think it’s something we should fear. People don’t have to answer their door.” The city attorney pointed out that city code provides a way to deter solicitors for those who don’t want them knocking. Put up a sign that reads “No Solicitors.” • Lastly, Juba announced a pollinator webpage is now live on the city’s website. The page is located under Services, Environment, Natural Resources at whitebearlake.org. Debra Neutkens

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The Lions Club donated another $25,000 toward a future “All Abilities” playground. The club matched a 2019 donation for the equipment, which will be located at Lakewood Hills Park. Asked why Lakewood by Councilman Kevin Edberg, Assistant City Manager Rick Juba said parking and open space. The park is large enough to accommodate both an existing playground and a handicapped-accessible play area. The All Abilities park is still in the concept stage and a few years out. Cost estimates range from $200,000 to $300,000 and grant funding is being sought. Mayor Jo Emerson called the idea “marvelous,” and thanked the Lions for their generosity. The money comes from charitable gambling proceeds.

WHITE BEAR PRESS
Ross Allen begins tenure as new Bethel president BY ELIZABETH CALLEN SHOREVIEW EDITOR
July 1 marks the fi rst official day on the job for Ross Allen, the sixth president of Bethel University. Allen comes to Bethel from Azusa Pacific University, a private Christian university in California. He is no stranger to the Arden Hills school, however. Both he and his wife, Annie, are Bethel graduates, of the classes of 1984 and 1986, respectively. Allen said that his four years as a student at Bethel “really shaped me” and will now inform his tenure as president.
“As a student, you don’t really study the mission and what Bethel is about. You experience it. So then to come back … It’s so clear that Bethel did exactly what their objective is, which is to help you grow in your faith, live a life glorifying God and make an impact on your neighbor.” Ross Allen President, Bethel University “As a student, you don't really study the mission and what Bethel is about. You experience it,” he said. “So then to come back … It's so clear that Bethel did exactly what their objective is, which is to help you grow in your faith, live a life glorifying God and make an impact on your neighbor.” Now, Allen wants to ensure that same mission reaches current and future generations of Bethel students. “I'm anxious to give that back and make sure we continue to do those things,” he said. Prior to his tenure as president at Azusa Pacific, Allen spent 25 years at Medtronic. “Much of that was what's classically called turnaround, so really stepping into organizations that needed to reassess where they're going to get clear about what they're trying to achieve and then rallying the organization around that,” he said. “I don't like that term (turnaround) because if you're turning around, you're going back to something that got you where you are, but stepping into an organization that some would call distressed … I actually did that seven times at Medtronic, and then Azusa Pacific was like that as well.”
JULY 1, 2020
www.presspubs.com
Those skills and knowledge, Allen said, will help guide him throughout his new role at Bethel. “I gained the experience of stepping in and assessRoss Allen ing the organization, evaluating what is really core about it, and then assessing what's working well and what areas it needs to double down on,” he said. “From a positive standpoint, what are areas that are holding the organization back from excelling and achieving its mission most effectively.” The COVID-19 pandemic makes for an uncertain time for higher education institutions, and Allen said that Bethel, like many other colleges and universities, is under transformation. “It (the pandemic) certainly accelerates some of the discussion about the transformation and innovation going on,” he said, adding that his predecessor, retired president Jay Barnes, has been instrumental in what could have otherwise been a rocky transition. “Jay has been so, so gracious. He pulled me in early, actually. Because of COVID, I wrapped up my assignment (at Azusa Pacific), so I was able to be freed up, and Jay pulled me in, actually in midMarch, right when everything was starting.” Although it is far from ideal, having to hold meetings virtually comes with a few benefits. “You can make a lot of introductions quickly, including with people who aren't geographically close,” Allen said. “I've done a lot of listening and have been able to begin to identify and articulate what we'll focus on and what initiatives we're going to take to help us move forward most effectively.” Allen said that the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic also provides significant opportunities, which he is eager to use to move Bethel forward. “One of the things that I've seen about Bethel is just the great community, especially as a faith community. Both my wife and I have been surprised at how strong that community is, and what a great opportunity it is to step in and move the organization forward, especially in a time where community is so critical,” he said. “I'm really excited about that, and the organization seems ready. It's a crazy time to step in, but I'm looking forward to that and building on the great transitions that Bethel has.”

BUSINESS BRIEFS Different format for 2020 play festival The show will go on, albeit by virtual means. Lakeshore Players Theatre announced that the 10-minute play festival, a tradition in its 16th year, premiers online July 3.

Ten new, short plays will be shared with audiences through Lakeshore's online platform. Plays were selected from hundreds of submissions, just like before. Not like before, the plays will be recorded remotely through Zoom and posted on Lakeshore's website. But you'll need a password to access the plays. Pricing is as follows: one show pass is $5; an all-access ticket pass to all 10 plays is $20. A VIP ticket package, including access to all 10 plays plus a commemorative mug is $30. Each week, starting July 3 at noon, ticket holders will receive an email with the link and password. Shows will be posted weekly throughout the summer.

Cerenity gets state Pipeline grant Cerenity Senior Care White Bear Lake is a recipient of a Pipeline grant again this year from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. According to Peg Black, Cerenity director of community development, 14 employees will benefit from the grant, which will help fund degrees as a licensed practical nurse and registered nurse (RN). The RN grant is new this year, so Cerenity is currently accepting applications from employees interested in advancing their career. The program is called a dual-training grant because participants receive on-the-job training at work while attending college to earn a degree. Participating colleges for the grant include Anoka Ramsey, Century, Dakota Technical and St. Paul College. Minnesota employees and employers are benefiting from more than $2.7 million in grants this year to fund the program.
Summer rec programs starting belatedly and carefully BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Summer recreation programs are getting under way, belatedly, in White Bear Lake, with restrictions to follow public health guidelines during the pandemic. “Ball games are going to look ‘careful’ and it’s not going to be free-flowing like before,” said Jon Anderson of Parks and Recreation, choosing words to describe necessary modifications. “It’s a crazy world now.”
Youth baseball and softball are slated to start the week of July 6. Normally they are practicing by mid-May. There will be rules for issues like physical distancing (of players, coaches, parents, umpires) and multiple people handling the ball, which are still being worked on, he said. Camps for basketball and volleyball and tennis clinics started in mid-June following guidelines from the Department of Health. Participants are divided into pods with nine people each (including the coach). “Each player in
basketball and volleyball is assigned his/her own ball, which are sanitized before the next group starts,” Anderson said. In tennis, only the instructors touch the ball, while players use only their racquets. Participation in rec sports is considerably less than normal “all across the board,” Anderson said, due to the late starts and concerns about the virus. Starting dates were dependent on Gov. Tim Walz’s decisions based on DOH recommendations. “But there are some people who still
want to get out there and do things, to get back some kind of normalcy,” Anderson said. “Driving around town, I see a lot of people playing tennis and pickleball on their own.” Adult softball has only one league, which will probably be on Thursday evenings starting the week of July 6, he said. There’s usually four leagues. Under USSSA guidelines for the pandemic, rules will include no sunflower seeds, no high-fives, and modifications on handling the ball, which are still being figured out, he said.

Lakes not stocked this year, but holding strong, says DNR BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Area lakes were not stocked with fi sh by Department of Natural Resources this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they have plenty of fi sh, said a DNR official contacted by the Press. “Most lakes will continue to sustain a quality fi shery, providing ample angling opportunities,” said Harland Hiemstra, communication officer for the DNR’s Central-St. Paul region of Minnesota. He added that not stocking lakes this year should not significantly affect the future fi sh population. “It’s one year of stocking that will be missed for walleyes and muskies. The other self-sustaining species like bluegill, black crappies, bass and pike will not be affected at all.” Sometimes a reduction of one kind of fi sh can be good for a lake anyway, he said, due to less competition for food. Asked if area lakes are now being
overfi shed, Hiemstra said that’s not the case, but he noted that fi sh license sales are higher than the last two years — with fi shing being one of the few safe sports activities during the pandemic. “Being outside, while keeping safe distances, is the best place to be right now, and that means activities like golf, fi shing, hiking are pretty popular this summer. Just need folks to follow our fi shing regulations.” Lakes are stocked according to an individual lake management plan that is guided by fi sh surveys completed by area offices. The higher-priority lakes are stocked, and the DNR keeps track of the effectiveness of the stockings. “We adjust our stocking and individual lake management based on the surveys done. For example, White Bear Lake gets surveyed every two years because we stock it with walleyes and muskies … and because it’s one of our better overall fi sheries in the East Metro.”

Fall prep sports divided into risk level categories It’s possible that some, but not all, fall high school sports will be offered this fall, according to comments offered during a Minnesota State High School League discussion Thursday. During the league’s weekly L.E.A.D. meeting, a virtual informational discussion between high school athletic directors and league administrators, MSHSL Executive Director Erich Martens responded to a question as to whether an allor-nothing approach will be taken during the coronavirus pandemic.
Martens stated that he believes at least some sports will resume in the fall, and that it is “less likely” that the league will take the all-or-none approach. The Minnesota Department of Health, he noted, has guidelines for youth sports and social distancing, which divides sports into low-, mediumand high-risk categories. Fall sports in the low-risk category include cross- country running, singles tennis, individual swimming and diving and clay target shoot-

ing. Regarded as medium risk are volleyball, soccer, doubles tennis and swimming relays. Football is considered a high-risk sport. Sports policy also depends on whether schools are open this fall. A decision is expected in late July, with districts being asked to draw up three scenarios for learning. Martens said that leaves time for the league to further analyze its strategies. Bruce Strand

Weather tidbits
Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Temperatures heated up this past week as we enjoyed a nice string of upper 80's days. The strong winds of the ďŹ rst half of the month tapered off and the humidity was manageable as dew points stayed in the low 60's for the most part. This past weekend was also ďŹ lled with great weather that ended with a drenching rain storm. At one point I recorded 2 inches of rain in a 3-hour period, with my Sunday night to Monday morning rainfall totaling nearly 3.50 inches. This amount occurs once every 15 years. June will ďŹ nish with nearly 7 inches of rain. Get ready for a hot summer. Yeah! Nature Note: Things happen a little slower on Peppertree pond. The local wood duck family just had a hatching of 9 babies this past week. I'm picking my ďŹ rst round of raspberries. Jupiter and Saturn are lighting up the overnight sky.
