How many people use Lake Avenue trail? Now we know WHITE BEAR LAKE — Think the Mark Sather Trail is a popular place to stroll and bike? That was confirmed using a special counter placed at Shady Lane and Lake Avenue from May 12 to June 14. An average of 1,140 people a day used the trail along White Bear Lake during that timeframe. The most popular day of the week was Thursday. The special study was conducted by Ingrid Schneider, a University of Minnesota Forest Resources professor who borrowed an Eco-Counter from MnDOT to better understand trail usage. During the period people were counted, 24,562 pedestrians, a daily average of 722, and 14,196 bicyclists, a daily average of 418, used the trail. "The data hints at the huge demand for places to safely walk and bike and the importance to complete South Shore Boulevard," said Mike Brooks, co-chairman of Lake Links, the advocacy group working to finish a trail around White Bear Lake. "Certainly the re-arrangement of Lake Avenue into the Lake Avenue we know today is forever cast into history as a visionary moment for this community." Schneider focuses on the human dimensions of natural resource management in her research. She also happens to live in Mahtomedi and is a supporter of Lake Links, added Brooks, who reviewed the tally results.
Fresh location for farmers market Visitors check out the vendors at the White Bear Lake Farmers Market in the parking lot the West side of Clark Street. The market, normally located on Washington Avenue, was moved as part of the downtown adaptations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The market, one of the oldest in the Twin Cities area, runs Fridays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Expanding arts district draws donor support Thanks to generous donors, the White Bear Center for the Arts is doubling in size, allowing for more programming and more parking. Benefactors of the arts, who at this point remain anonymous, purchased four residential properties fronting Division Avenue on behalf of the center, located at 4971 Long Ave., to allow expansion west. The timing was right. Homeowners near North Campus High School were interested in selling when the art center was interested in buying. One property had already been purchased to expand the center’s parking lot. Then neighbors to the
north approached the nonprofit’s executive director, also expressing interest in selling. “It was a unique opportunity to secure property for future expansion,” noted Suzi Hudson, who heads the WBCA. “We pushed pause on the parking lot so we could rethink whether it was the right spot now that these properties opened up to develop the campus.” A fourth property became available right after the school bond referendum passed last fall. Two of the homes have already been demolished. One house was moved to Pine City. The addresses involved are 4953, 4962, 4970 and 4980 Division Avenue. SEE ARTS CENTER, PAGE 10

COVID-19 BRIEF UPDATE
BUSINESS BRIEF
Physicians call for mandatory mask use
Bank to match food shelf donations
The Minnesota Medical Association (MMA) and 20 other state medical societies urge public and private leaders across the state to require the wearing of face masks or face coverings to help control the spread of COVID-19. “Minnesota is seeing improvements in COVID-19 cases, but the threat of this virus is not over,” said Keith Stelter, MD, president of the Minnesota Medical Association, which represents more than 10,000 physicians and physicians in training. “The medical benefits of wearing a mask are clear — a mask helps reduce virus transmission, particularly by individuals who are sick but have no symptoms, and by individuals who have been infected but do not yet show any symptoms. Masks are also safe to wear.” Like staying home when you are sick, covering your cough, practicing social distancing and washing your hands, wearing a mask is an important part of the COVID-19 prevention toolbox that should be broadly adopted. “Statewide use of masks now in all indoor settings and on public transportation can help Minnesota avoid the resurgence of cases that is happening in many other states and avoid a backwards turn of the dial,” said Stelter. The MMA and other state medical society organizations call on state, local, and business leaders to help all Minnesotans do the right thing to practice good health and support our communities — no shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service. From press release
Lake Area Bank is hosting a virtual food drive and matching a portion of donations through July 31.

A strange time
E
VERYTHING WE DO has to be done differently. Wearing a mask in public, keeping distance, avoiding crowds and no hugging. For Father’s Day we planned an outdoor picnic and asked the family to bring their own food and beverages. Some chose not to come, but for those who did it became a meaningful time to catch up with each other. We met one great-grandchild for the first time. COVID-19 HAS TURNED life upside down. The highways are less crowded as people are either working from home or not working. As a result the speed has increased so when accidents occur, they are more severe. THE DEMONSTRATIONS THAT continue are more peaceful, yet shootings and deaths continue to be on the rise in Minnesota. THE LEGISLATURE DISMISSED from special session About the with little legislation approved. We can’t expect to change everything Town all at once, but why not focus on Gene Johnson a few key issues and get them passed? LAW ENFORCEMENT IN many areas of the country, including our own Twin Cities, appears to be unjust, inhumane and very discriminatory. Perhaps our police departments are expected to handle too many different issues beyond their training and competence. Accountability is so important in whatever endeavor we participate in. It sure seems like something is falling between the cracks on that issue. There must be some better models that could be researched and considered. Perhaps the police department is just too big. There are always critical masses for effectiveness in whatever the business profession or government service required. GRADUATES - WHATEVER LACKED in your graduation celebrations, you are faced with a troubled world and we are looking to you for leadership and ideas. Don’t overlook the values of our nation and that of your parents as they brought you to this point. Remember we need liberty and justice for all. Set goals, have mentors, be generous, serve others…this is a good idea not only for graduates, but for all of us. Give thanks daily for those who have helped you along the way and find opportunities to learn about the many cultures of this world. Remember, life is a classroom where you learn continuously regardless of age. Build friendships, nourish them, reach out, engage, take a chance. WHEN I PURCHASED my first newspaper at the age of 20 in Atwater, a western Minnesota agricultural community with a population of 900, Atwater had a blacksmith shop across from the newspaper office. On the wall was a placard with an Indian philosophy that went something like this: Never criticize another man unless you have walked a mile in his shoes. The name of the newspaper was the Atwater Herald, but when a couple farmers would stop by to say hello or I met them at the coffee shop, they would always refer to the newspaper as the “Atwater Spreader” and then they would jokingly ask me if I stood behind it. They were referring to the manure spreader that farmers used to fertilizer their land. The manure more than likely came from the dairy barn. The newspaper’s purpose has been to be truthful, sincere and humble in presenting the community back to itself through stories, editorials and photos. It’s been a wonderful and challenging experience. Friendships have grown immensely. Wisdom and memories have been planted deeply and faith in mankind to do what’s ethically correct comes through.

Protecting our seniors during the pandemic
C
oronavirus has changed just about everything about our lives, but for our nation’s seniors, the toll of this virus has been particularly devastating. Those over 65 account for the vast majority of Americans who have died from coronavirus, with estimates indicating that 8 out of 10 people in our country who have lost their lives are seniors. And this pandemic has put older Americans Legislator at risk on multiple fronts. Necessary Lingo safety precautions Amy Klobuchar have left many older Americans alone and separated from their loved ones, and also vulnerable to scams by those seeking to exploit this crisis for personal gain. All across the country, families have turned to creative solutions to stay connected to their older relatives while also keeping them safe. Many nursing facilities have strict rules in place barring visitors in order to protect the health of their residents—which is critical given CDC estimates indicating up to 35% of coronavirus deaths have occurred in nursing homes. In mid-June, Minnesotans got some good news when the Minnesota Department of Health issued new guidance that allows outdoor visits at nursing

targeted by scammers seeking to exploit them for financial gain, using the fear and uncertainty created by this pandemic to take advantage of the most vulnerable. That’s why Senator Jerry Moran from Kansas and I introduced bipartisan legislation last month—the Protecting Seniors from Emergency Scams Act— that directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to report to Congress on scams targeting seniors during this pandemic and make recommendations on how to prevent them during emergencies. The bill also directs the FTC to update its website with information that will help seniors and their caregivers get in touch with law enforcement and adult protective agencies, and directs the FTC to ensure seniors and their caregivers are informed about the risks of these fraudulent schemes. Even before the pandemic, seniors lost an estimated $3 billion annually from financial scams. All Americans deserve safety and dignity in their senior years. The moral test of any nation is how it treats its most vulnerable citizens—and that has never been more important than right now during this crisis. We have a duty to not just protect the health of our nation’s seniors, but also their mental, emotional and financial well-being. Amy Klobuchar is a U. S. Senator for the state of Minnesota.

homes and assisted-living facilities. But we know that even with this updated guidance, many nursing home residents will still feel unsafe seeing visitors while others’ health remains too fragile to take the risk. While protecting the people we love is critical, this reality means many seniors will still not be able to see their families or visit their health care providers. That’s why I am leading bipartisan legislation in the Senate that would further enhance telehealth and other virtual services in skilled nursing facilities. My bill would provide funding to expand the use of telehealth services, and help nursing facilities get technology to support “virtual visits” to help seniors stay connected to their loved ones. AARP, the Long Term Care Community Coalition, the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long Term Care and the Leadership Council of Aging Organizations have all endorsed this bill. A bipartisan companion bill has also been introduced in the House of Representatives. This legislation would help minimize the harmful mental and physical toll of being apart from loved ones while ensuring the care of older Americans is not compromised when their families can’t visit them. While this bill would help mitigate some of the wide-ranging impacts of this pandemic on older Americans, this population is vulnerable to more than just the health implications of this virus. Seniors are also often

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Who pays for the wall? The Federal Appeals Court recently ruled on whether the Administration’s payment for costs of the border wall were improper. Why should anyone care? Mexico is paying for the wall. Right? Kristen Brodie White Bear Township
Thanks for covering community Thank you for the terrific coverage of the Lake Links Trail construction in Mahtomedi. Other sections of the trail will be appearing soon. We wanted to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the comprehensive coverage that this project has received in the Press. All of us gather information in many ways now, including the internet, but we should not overlook the enormous value to our community that we receive from having a local newspaper. Of course, it’s great to see pictures of our children and grandchildren doing wonderful things, but the paper does so much more for us — awareness of local businesses; promotion of local religious, artistic and cultural events; celebration of the lives of the neighbors whom we have lost; awareness of safety issues and concerns. I personally love the somewhat light-hearted approach to reporting minor non-crimes — a reminder that community and police can share humor in difficult times. In a thousand ways, our community is richer for having this resource and we urge everyone to support it. Steve Wolgamot Mahtomedi
Disrespectful retweet I remain shocked by the blatant disrespect and unprofessionalism of Sen. Roger Chamberlain’s retweet on June 17: “They canceled #AuntJemima. America is going to continue to act retarded …” As a special education teacher for ISD #624 who works, lives and volunteers in his district, I am both disheartened and infuriated that he chose to reiterate an offensive, disrespectful word when used to describe or insult something by comparing it to individuals with intellectual disabilities. I’m further appalled by Sen. Chamberlain’s total disregard for the racism inherent in the Aunt Jemima name and iconography. Sen. Chamberlain retweeting something so vulgar and ableist makes me extremely concerned. As an educator and an advocate for my students, I have taught countless students over the years why this word should be eliminated from our vocabulary. Respectful and inclusive language is essential to the movement for the dignity and humanity of people with intellectual disabilities. Clearly, the senator does not recognize the hurtful, dehumanizing and exclusionary effects of the word. Perhaps the senator is unaware of Rosa’s Law (passed in 2010) to eliminate all references to mental retardation in U.S. federal law, replacing it with the term “mental disability” and "an individual with an intellectual disability." As a Minnesotan, I want leadership that conveys level-headed, supportive messages to lift up our communities during these scary and uncharted times. Instead, our elected senator in District 38 chooses to retweet vulgar, ableist and offensive language. He has yet to make public comment about the injustice of George Floyd’s murder or apologize for this retweet. His Twitter feed is now private — an indication of the backlash he has received? As a constituent, I should not need to seek pre-approval to access the words and actions of my elected officials through social media. Sen. Chamberlain’s words and actions have no place in the Minnesota that I am proud to live in. How can I expect my students to choose their words wisely when our leadership is so crass and insensitive? What kind of message does this send to our community? It’s time for change. Erika Jagiella White Bear Lake
Food shelf donations matched Now is the time to donate to your local food shelf during the July Open Your Heart Challenge. I am the current director of the Vadnais Heights Community Food Shelf run by the Lions Club. With the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen an uptick in the number of households we are serving, about 10-20% more than usual per month. As many are aware, food shelves expect things to get worse in the fall. KARE 11 News recently reported on data released by Second Harvest Heartland that showed an additional 275,000 Minnesotans will face food insecurity beginning in July or late summer. During the month of July, we are asking our community to participate in the Open Your Heart challenge. The task is simple: donate to your local food shelf, and all monetary donations will be matched by an organization known as Hunger Solutions, up to $4,000. That means every dollar donated will be like $2. Our goal is to receive the full match and raise $4,000. The Lions have been unable to hold usual fundraising events for our food shelf because of the pandemic, and we also were unable to collect food donations this spring as the Boy Scouts were unable to hold their food drive to help provide for our community. We need your help more than ever. The good news is Second Harvest Heartland has been able to help us. We buy our food from there much cheaper than you will find at your local grocery store. This helps make up for the fact that we haven’t been able to hold our fundraisers or receive food donations from the Boy Scouts’ food drive to avoid spreading the virus, but we still need your help. Please donate today. Send checks payable to The Vadnais Heights Lions Club Foundation to 800 County Road E East, Vadnais Heights, MN 55127. Thank you to everyone who has given or is planning to give. Bob Leibel Director, Vadnais Heights Community Food Shelf, Vadnais Heights Lion's Club

OBITUARY NOTICES
Marlyce Irene (Asp) Lee “Mrs. Wildwood” Age 80 of Mahtomedi, MN Passed away on June 26 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. Her condition was exacerbated by the stress and anxiety of the isolation brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. She is survived by her loving husband Don; sisters Carol Whalen and Marcia Johnson (Lew); brother Bill Asp; daughters Shereen Jensen (Dean) and Christiana Marietta (Bruce); 3 grandchildren and many people whose lives she touched through her music and love of books. Marlyce worked for the Washington County library system for over 31 years, including as branch manager when the “new” Wildwood branch library was built in 1990 in Mahtomedi. As a result, she may have been known to some of you as Mrs. Wildwood. She also spent more than 30 years as a church organist most recently at White Bear Lake United Methodist Church. Although she was strong in her Methodist faith, Marlyce enjoyed the opportunity to play in other churches no matter the religion. Marlyce was a people person who always had a story and a kind word for everyone. You may have met her buying milk at Tom Thumb in Willernie and bonded over a story about Sweden or relocating a mouse from the old library in Willernie to freedom in the park. You may remember her because she helped you with a research paper, explained how to cook Lutefisk or found you the perfect book at the library. You may remember seeing her as the Grand Marshal in Birchwood's 4th of July parade or you may have bought stamps from her when the Willernie post office was closed. She was a consummate librarian who loved her library patrons and found joy in seeing others enjoy reading and books. If you were homebound, she may have dropped off books at your home or assisted living facility. Her family was proud when November 21, 2009, was proclaimed Marlyce Lee day in Mahtomedi and Willernie in recognition of her retirement. Her music also touched many people. She might have passed on her love of music to you or your children while she was teaching Girl Scout or bible school songs, or while she was providing piano accompaniment for a music contest, choir rehearsal or Suzuki violin concert. For many years she was a volunteer coach for high school students, helping them prepare for and accompanying them at the state music contests. She worked hard to help these kids be the best they could be. The family would like to thank the Hearth and South Gables teams at Waverly Gardens for caring for Marlyce for the past 2 years. A private family interment will be in Fairview Cemetery, Stillwater, MN. A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her honor. A list of suggested charities is available on the Honsa Family Funeral Home website. Arrangements by Honsa Family Funeral Home, 651-429-6172.
Joseph Patrick Peterson July 25, 1971 – June 25, 2020, Age 48 Joseph, Joey or Joe. His nickname changed depending upon the age you were when you knew him best. As family, Joey was most fitting since he was the baby of the bunch. Born in St. Paul, raised in White Bear Lake, Joey is survived by his loving mother, Marion Peterson (George deceased 2002). Joey was kid brother to Susan Peterson (Woodbury), Cindy & JR Haley (River Falls), Todd & Debbie Peterson (Marine on the St. Croix), Tim Peterson (deceased 2014), Judy Peterson (Rockford), Janie & Chris Peterson (Golden Valley) and Ricky Peterson (White Bear Lake). Beloved niece Angie Haley (Woodbury) was more like Joey’s little sister since they were born 2 years apart, and walked up Bellaire to the old Parkview Elementary School together. He was Uncle Joey to Nicole Fritz (Dave), Jamie Sarzoza (Alena), Rebecca Haley (Dan), Adam Peterson (Missy), Bobbie Kay Topper (Josh), Melissa Ballard (Randy), Reece, Cecily & Georgio Peterson. Many more cousins and friends from the east side of St. Paul to western Wisconsin are sad to say goodbye to Joey’s gentle smile, noting his hearty appetite for steak and mashed potatoes. Joey passed away unexpectedly, opening a swirl of regrets and grief for a life cut short. No matter what battles Joey fought, his family loved him until his last breath. We have gathered and cried for the boy with a big heart, a generous nature and kind spirit. From the grave he teaches us not to judge one another, but rather seek humility, forgiveness and love. In the end, that’s all we need. We love you Joey. Thanks for the lighting the path for all to follow. Join us for a ‘sweet celebration of Joey’s life on July 12, 2020 from 4 – 6 pm at Bellaire Beach. Refreshments & desserts will be served as we come together outside to honor his life eternal.

The Getty Building located at the corner of Third Street and Clark Avenue has been the site of many local businesses and services including the telephone company, The White Bear Press and the library for a time. Over the years the White Bear area has had several telephone franchises and at one time businesses could opt in to more than one service which required their ads include more than one number for calling. Calls were connected by picking up the phone and having the operator connect you to the person you requested over a party line. This meant calls were definitely not private. The individuals identified in this photo are chief operator, Dora Goesch and wire chief, Clifton Bonham, both standing. The names of the seated operators are undetermined. If you can identify the operators or have other insights to share regarding this photo, please contact us at office@whitebearhistory.org
White Bear Lake resident James Mengel was featured in an article published by thecatholicspirit.com, where he reflects on his experiences as a peace activist in the 1960s and thoughts on the death of George Floyd. According to the article, Mengel was a United Church of Christ pastor who was part of the “Baltimore Four,” a group that included Mengel, Philip Berrigan, Tom Lewis and David Eberhardt, who occupied the Selective Service Board in the Customs House in Baltimore, Maryland, on Oct. 27, 1967 in protest of the Vietnam War. During the incident, Mengel did not pour blood on draft records as the others did; instead he handed out copies of the New Testament to draft board workers and others. Mengel, 91, continued to participate in peaceful war protests throughout his life, including the protests at the corner of Highway 61 and Fourth Street in downtown White Bear Lake. He was also a longstanding White Bear Press carrier, delivering the paper to businesses and residences in the Old White Bear neighborhood for over 10 years.

Community newspaper readers also voters, survey says Community newspapers are the most trusted source of information about candidates running for public office, and community newspaper readers are more likely to be voters, according to a survey from the National Newspaper Association (NNA). The survey polled more than 1,000 people from urban and rural communities across the country and found that 85% of community newspaper readers said they are “very likely” to vote in upcoming elections, compared to 73% of nonreaders. Likewise, 84% of community newspaper readers said that they voted in the last federal, state or local election. Respondents also rated community newspapers as the most trusted source of information about candidates running for public office. On a scale of 1-10 (with “1” meaning completely untrustworthy and “10”
Ratings for other sources are as follows: • National network TV news – 5.13 • Cable TV news shows – 4.60 • Talk or satellite radio programs – 4.31 • Metropolitan newspapers that cover major cities and suburbs – 4.29 • Direct mailings from candidates and/ or political parties – 3.73 • Facebook and/or Twitter – 2.92 “Overall, great news for local community newspapers,” said NNA Vice President Matt Adelman. “(The results) show Facebook and even direct mail have far less impact and readership than the political consultants insist, especially on the trustworthy scale where our newspapers rank about even with national

news programs, but far ahead of the rest of the pack.” The survey also found that 92% of community newspaper readers say that their local paper informs them and 64% said they share their paper with up to
five other people. Of all survey respondents, 61% said that they turn to their local community newspaper for information about candidates running for public office. Elizabeth Callen
The set up is key to hitting a good drive
good drive off of the tee makes golf so much easier. Here’s a brief description of how to set up correctly every time. Place your feet together with the ball in the middle. From there, take a step to the right. Your stance is wider than an iron shot. Hold the club in front of you, club head points up to the sky. Tilt your spine slightly to the right, matching the club to your spine. Left shoulder is higher than the right and your head is behind the ball Let the club drop down behind the ball, making sure your hands are Tee even or slightly behind the ball. You should feel like your reaching out a Time little more, because the driver is a longer club. Most importantly, make Betsy Larey sure you can see your left shoulder
with your left eye. If your shoulders are open, you’ll slice the ball. This correct set up means that you will be hitting the ball on an ascending blow, not a descending blow as you would with your irons. If I had to pick the two mistakes I see most often with drivers, it’s setting up directly over the ball vs. behind (spine, head, hands and weight) and hitting down on the ball instead of up. If you’re set up is correct, both of these errors are eliminated. There’s a great practice drill that will help you “feel” what the swing plane should be. Tee the ball up as high as you can. Take your normal set up and then lift the club a foot off of the ground (this is done by hinging your wrists, not standing up!). Then take a normal swing, going over the tee. Starting with the club off the ground promotes a flatter takeaway and a more rounded feeling at the top. This should feel more like a baseball swing instead of a golf swing. It will
also help you understand that the driver has a flatter, more rounded swing than any other club in your bag. Betsy Larey is an LPGA Professional who teaches at Keller Golf Course in St Paul and Shadow Ridge in Lino Lakes. She has taught at the PGA Tour Academy in St Augustine FL and has been the Head Women’s Coach at Carleton College and Flagler College, and currently runs the Keller Girls Golf Academy in St Paul.

“This has been a very evolving, fluid project,” admitted Hudson. “Every few weeks it seemed I was going back to the board to say now this has come up and we have a donor.” There was no arm twisting by the art center, added Hudson. “We made it known to neighbors that when they wanted to sell, to please approach us. The stars were aligning on what really was a pie-in-the-sky vision. Opportunities were presenting themselves at just the right time.” Cost of the expansion is still being estimated at this time. The plan is to do the project in two phases, with a tentative August groundbreaking. There are some issues to resolve fi rst. The WBCA applied for a planned unit development due to the split-zoning of the site. The Division Avenue parcels are zoned single-family residential and the art center is zoned B-4 or general business. Complicating the matter is that the property resides in two watershed districts. The White Bear Lake Planning Commission considered the application at its June 29 meeting, fi nally recommending City Council approve the project. About two dozen conditions recommended by staff will accompany the council approval. One condition was deleted. A representative for the art center, Sean Wagner, president/CEO of NewStudio Architecture, said the board had an issue with Condition No. 5. Wording required that the applicant “agree to work with the city to identify opportunities to restore the four lost residential units.” The city envisions future artist lofts, for example, as a way to replace the demolished housing. Wagner said the condition was a deal-breaker. “This is not an issue that was agreed to or discussed,” he said to commissioners. “The board does not consent to No. 5. This would be a non-starter for the project. The donors, who are funders, would not pursue it and the project would be dead.” Speaking for the board, which has “more than a few attorneys,” Wagner explained that the nature of the language suggests or implies fi nancial participation or construction of something on the site. “It’s an obligation the donors who purchased the property, as a gift to the arts center, nor future directors, are in a position to make.” Hudson said she understands the city’s desire to add housing but told commissioners she was not comfortable with the condition, even reworded, because it could tie the WBCA to those future actions. “It is not part of our mission. We are a nonprofit arts school. Resolving residential units is beyond our mission. That is work of the city. We are glad to be a partner in that but for a PUD condition, it feels like an overreach.” Hudson added that the center wants to leave enough green space so there are no further environmental impacts. “The philosophical approach to the art center has always been to bring outdoors in and indoors out and that relationship to nature as an artistic inspiration. To make any kind of commitment to use this property for further residential use is beyond any commitment we can make.” Commissioner Peter Reis made the motion to recommend the PUD but not before “expressing dismay at being presented with requests that are ultimatums; it’s my way or the highway.” “I hope this doesn’t preclude ongoing dialog between the board and/or executive director and city planning efforts to try to generate something like artist lofts despite the fact it has nothing to do with the mission statement, in the spirit of cooperation with the community where they reside.” Commissioner Ken Baltzer offered similar sentiments. “I agree with Peter 100%. Considering the amount of money spent on the west side of the center, then to come in and tell us it’s a deal-breaker, I fi nd amusing. Then to threaten the Planning Commission; I don’t appreciate that.” The plan developed by NewStudio Architecture includes a multipurpose atrium and reception area, new art gallery, administrative spaces and pottery studios in the fi rst phase. There is also an outdoor clay yard planned that will feature a kiln for outdoor wood fi ring of pottery. The labyrinth will be relocated. Pottery’s popularity was a large reason for the expansion. “We are putting a lot of our focus in expanding the clay program,” Hudson said. “This whole region has such an incredible legacy of potters internationally renowned. We have a unique opportunity to build on that legacy.”

City Planning and Zoning Coordinator Samantha Crosby told commissioners staff felt the proposal was “compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.” City staff is enthusiastic about a significant native woodland restoration in the northwest corner where about 40% of the trees are oaks, she said. There are two small woodland wetlands, a mulched walking path and future outdoor classroom/gathering spaces also planned. “The WBCA hopes to continue enriching the
area with more public access to the arts,” Wagner said. “The new PUD will encompass the area between Highway 61 and Division Avenue and create a new link to the school on the west that did not previously exist.” Hudson thanked the commissioners for their unanimous support. “We are extremely excited and grateful to the planning commission. I hope the city sees this as a gift to the community. We look forward to working with the city on the arts district.”

THE CLERK’S CORNER – Greetings - All of us here at White Bear Township hope that your summer is getting off to a decent start in spite of the pervasive upheaval of the last four months. Just as a reminder, all Township Park facilities are open for use, however, we do ask that all residents keep in mind social distancing guidelines as required by the Governor’s offi ce when utilizing the equipment as well as open space. We are continuing our ongoing Road improvement projects in the Southeast portion of the Township this summer as well as proposing some additional capital improvement projects going forward encompassing water system improvements as well as a new restroom facility at Polar Lakes park. This last item is particularly important as we believe the restroom will be the final piece to making the park amongst the best in the Metro. I would ask that you keep an eye on our website
LAKE AVE. TRAIL: Well-traveled path FROM PAGE 1
The professor is leading a multi-state study of compliance with physical distancing on trails; the Sather segment is one of three study sites in Minnesota. She is also working with colleagues from six other states. “We have been observing the behavior of trail users since March 31 and recording the number of encounters groups have, if and how they move to avoid other groups, which has safety implications if they move into the road and environmental impacts if they go off trail, as well as estimating the distance groups are from each other. We’re also looking at mask wearing,” noted Schneider. The Eco-Counter data will help detail the “type” of pedestrians on the trail and their group size. “All of this information may shed insight into future trail and infrastructure development in a post-COVID era,” she said. “Although the user numbers are likely inflated by COVID, they are astonishing and certainly approach the volume of car traffic,” added Steve Wolgamot, Lake Links co-chair with Brooks. “Obviously we hope that personal transportation will be one of the things that survives the pandemic. These numbers, if sustained on the South Shore Boulevard portion of the trail, would also approach the one-way automobile volume there.” The equipment Schneider used is highly specialized for the purpose of determining trail usage, Brooks pointed out. “A counter of this type used around the lake would supply data points useful for future funding of trail infrastructure, real estate analysis, mobility study, downtown non-motorized traffic… a range of extended uses to better define usage, return on investment and how we should be building out our communities.” Calling the data “very exciting,” Wolgamot sees the numbers as verification of the health and community benefits of trails. Six-hundred people going each way represents thousands of interactions and chances for people to say ‘hello’ to each other. This is precisely what America needs right now. We need to be speaking and greeting each other, albeit at a safe distance.”

New technology for hearing loss White Bear Lake-based hearing health company Envoy Medical announced its Acclaim cochlear implant is being fast tracked through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process. The FDA granted Breakthrough Device Designation, which enables expedited review to get the implant to patients faster. If approved, Acclaim would be the first-of-itskind cochlear implant with no external components for 24/7 invisible hearing. The company is also celebrating 10 years since FDA approved its fully implanted Esteem osseointegrated active middle ear implant. Technology from that earlier device is being used in the fully implanted Acclaim. The natural anatomy of the ear is used to capture sound and convert it into electrical signals that are used by the invisible implant to address hearing loss. “Our unique sensor remains a disruptive
platform technology that allows us to excel in the development of fully implanted hearing devices, which we believe offer unique benefits and improvements over traditional hearing devices with external components,” said Brent Lucas, CEO of Envoy Medical. Added Mayo Clinic physician Dr. Colin Driscoll, MD, practicing neurotologist and chair of the department of otolaryngology, “Patients with significant hearing loss want to hear better but many delay or avoid taking advantage of cochlear implant technology altogether, in part because of the required external components. I am thrilled to see the progress being made by Envoy Medical on the Acclaim cochlear implant because a fully implantable device eliminates this barrier and in addition delivers hearing all the time, day and night. It could be like getting your hearing back.”

Unlike existing traditional cochlear implants that are partially implanted and have an external microphone and processor, the Acclaim investigational device has no external components.

Virtual memorial toolkit brings people together virtualmemorialtoolkit.com
BY BROOKE WOHLRABE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Grieving the loss of a loved one is never easy, and doing it during a pandemic brings new challenges. Mueller Memorial, with locations in White Bear Lake and St. Paul, has thought of new ways to help people through the process during these trying times. Scott Mueller's parents started Mueller Memorial’s St. Paul location in 1946 and White Bear Lake in 1954. Mueller has been working there since he was about 15. His stepdaughter, Taelor Johnson, began working there in 2011. Mueller, owner and funeral director, said that Johnson is an expert in all the various things that happen to people after the death of someone they love. “We have an inherent need to come together when someone we care about dies. In the absence of that, I think people are feeling a little lost. Grief in general is so isolating, and then you think about it in the context of what we’re going through right now. Everyone in the world is sharing a sense of loss,” Johnson said. In the beginning of the pandemic, the business could only offer limited services and funerals with very few people in attendance. Now guidelines are at 50% of building capacity. Mueller said that’s a benefit for them because both of their buildings are fairly large, so they can accommodate at nearly normal levels and it allows them space to social distance. Of course, many people might not feel comfortable gathering for a service, which is why Mueller and Johnson thought of an alternative way people could celebrate a life: enter the virtual memorial toolkit. “Now you’re starting to do things through Zoom and you’re looking for ways to have a similar experience but different, and allow people to be a part of it. We were seeing people who wanted to do a livestream service, but they didn’t know how. There wasn’t a comprehensive collection of resources,” Mueller explained. Johnson said they could see the need for people to get together and share, and not being able to do that because of restrictions was frustrating. She put in several weeks of research to put a program together. It includes outlines for both religious and non-religious services, prayers, readings, links with music and a text session that explains how it can be done using Facebook live, YouTube or Zoom. “This is a way we could supply people the opportu-

nity for people do it for themselves. We could take all of our experience and say, ‘Here are some tools to get what you need when we can’t provide it,’” Johnson said. Muller added, “The purpose of it is to allow people to come together.” He shared they had 18 people on a recent livestream and one of them was in the South China Sea. In another situation, there were people from eight different countries. “Prior to the pandemic we were aware that this was something we should do, but the pandemic allowed us to jump into it,” Mueller said. The virtual memorial toolkit allows people to hold a service at their home and stream it live or pre-record it and share it later. It then can be accessed online at virtualmemorialtoolkit.com. Two years ago, the business also created grief compass, a program which follows up with families they
have served for a year after a loss. “It helps people understand grief and gives them information on things that happen and things that they’ll go through. In the absence of traditional community, that’s been more important and appreciated than ever,” Johnson said. Johnson said that people have found themselves doing things they have never done before during the pandemic, noting that these truly are unprecedented times. “The funeral profession has always been looked at as a hopelessly traditional profession and it can be, but I’ve always preferred to be an innovator, rather than an imitator,” Mueller said. Johnson said, “We’re always trying to figure out how to help people more and more. That’s what it comes down to. We see people at the worst time in their life and we help them through it. Any way we can do that, we’ll try.”
Mahtomedi student scientists share research at global conference A group of young Mahtomedi students are gearing up for another season of in-depth research on protein structures. These junior and senior students at Mahtomedi High School are a part of the Modeling A Protein Story (MAPS) team, an extracurricular activity for students with a passion for biology. The MAPS team is spending this summer fundraising, then will start a 12-month research project on a protein structure to present at the annual Experimental Biology Conference in the spring. MAPS Team is a student-driven club that is supported by the Center for Biomolecular Modeling at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. The Mahtomedi MAPS team, led by Mahtomedi High School biology teacher Jim Lane, uses hands-on and online modeling resources to discover basic protein concepts and develop understandings of structure-function relationships in order to better understand and present their chosen protein story. Last year, the MAPS team studied the protein hemoglobin. The senior team used a comparison of hellsgate globin and neuroglobin to further their understanding of each of the two proteins. The junior team studied how genetic mutations in the hemoglobin of Atlantic cod translated to functional differences, examining what these differences would mean for the species in the context of climate change. The teams’ abstracts, or summaries of their research, were published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Journal. Both teams were also scheduled to present their posters at the Experimental Biology Conference in San Diego among college undergraduate researchers.
However, the conference was canceled due to the pandemic, and the posters were instead published on Twitter. The MAPS team has given these high school students the opportunity to pursue science beyond the limits of their classrooms as they explore creative research on an undergraduate level. Not only do they further their scientific backgrounds through the project itself, but they also describe the Experimental Biology Conference as one of the most enriching experiences they’ve had. Although the conference was canceled this year, in 2019 students researching the protein aquaporin were able to meet the assistant of Peter Agre, the scientist who discovered the protein itself. Senior team member Ruby Ales described the experience. “It was awesome to get that kind of exposure to the science field outside of a traditional high school classroom.” To attend the conference, students must raise about $1,000 each to cover expenses such as travel, food and hotel costs. The MAPS team is not funded by the school and thus relies solely on student fundraising; therefore, members are applying for grants, taking

[ACTION/VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE.] [PLAYS ON AMAZON PRIME.] — When a burly, tattooed, kindhearted CIA agent (Dave Bautista) and his flirty, tech-savvy partner (Kristen Schaal) are assigned a surveillance mission in Chicago to keep watch over a widowed ER nurse (Parisa Fitz-Henley) and her precocious, smart manipulative, 9-year-old daughter (Chloe Coleman) in this highly entertaining, funny, well-written, action-packed, star-dotted (Ken Jeong, Devere Rogers, Olivia DÊpatie, Keller Viaene, Nicola Correia-Damude, Darrin Baker, and Ali Hassan), 99-minute comedy, the reluctant operative ends up being blackmailed by the bullied student to coerce him into teaching her about spying.
Weather tidbits
Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Now that is Fourth of July weather and I loved it! I did get to spend it at my grandparents place in western Wisconsin and was able to enjoy cooling off in a lake. Gotta say lake water was on the warmer side of normal. The full moon on the evening of the 4th was spectacular along with the ďŹ reworks show. I was fortunate enough to be facing south and at the correct angle to have the full moon and ďŹ reworks show side by side. I'll post a few pictures on my webpage. How about Sunday's downpour? Friend Rick in North St. Paul received over 2" and there were numerous reports of pea-size hail.

Ex-Zephyr star to play Division 1 J’vonne Hadley, who starred for Mahtomedi basketball through his junior year before transferring to Cretin-Derham Hall, has signed with a Division I team. The versatile 6-6 combo guard will play for Northeastern University in Boston. He was one of five recruits for the Huskies, who went 17-16 this past season. They are coached by
Bill Coen, who has a 241-163 mark in 14 seasons, and play in the Colonial Athletic Association. Hadley was a three-year starter for Mahtomedi and led the Zephyrs to their fi rst state tournament since 1961 as a junior when he set team records with 28.2 points per game and a 52-point single game. He scored 63 points in three state games as
Mahtomedi placed sixth. He led a talented, sectional champion Cretin-Derham Hall team with 19.1 points per game as a senior, and would have played in another state tournament but it was canceled due to the pandemic. Bruce Strand
