DRUNK DRIVING: Cop an all-star enforcer PAGE 6A
Retired CEO’s life has always revolved around bicycles BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Lake Links trail advocate Jim Muellner admits the lack of a non-motorized path around the lake frustrates him. A safe route is something he’s been working on for 30 years. But really, his passion for bike safety goes back much farther — to eighth grade when he ran away from his St. Paul home and headed to his grandmother’s house in Melrose. “My father and I were never
on good terms,” recalled Muellner, a township resident since 1968. “He was an alcoholic; not strict, but coarse and feisty. There were eight in our family, six girls and two boys. I had a paper route and when you’re the only one that has money, you share it. At the end of the month, I was short. My father said, ‘if you’re ever short again, don’t come home.’” Come Easter, the young teen was “short” again. Remembering his father’s warning, Muellner took off on his bike. “I was peddling through
Anoka and I saw a paperboy on his bike hit and killed by a speeding car. I walked my bike for the next 10 miles. I remember it well. There was snow on the ground and I spent that night outside. I never went to my grandmother’s. I just kept biking to Paynesville where a woman convinced me to call my parents.” That summer, a penchant for buying ice cream for his buddies left the generous Muellner “short” once more.

Jim and Marilyn Muellner sold the Oak Ridge Centre office building on Hwy. 61 last winter to Pratt-Ordway Properties. Finance & Commerce reported a sale price of $3.7 million. Their son Todd managed the building.
Hockey association won’t get fourth gambling site here,” he wrote. Hiniker explained to Benshoof that the gambling ordinance does not restrict the establishment’s ability to seek a charitable organization outside of the community; but it does require that the selected organization use at least 50 percent of its profits within the city’s trade area, which includes communities inside the school district and Mahtomedi. The city manager added that a limit is placed on the number of establishments that any one charitable group can have in order to equalize the opportunity to raise funds across the community. “If we were faced with a situation whereby an establishment wanted to host charitable gambling but could not attract a licensed organization due to city-imposed limits, the ordinance would need to be reviewed,” Hiniker said. “However, it is my understanding there is another licensed organization interested in working with you.” She was talking about the White Bear Lake Lions, which operate gambling in three city

Sailors and skiers test their skills
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Water skiers skim across the surface of Bald Eagle Lake while participants in the Bald Eagle Yacht Club and Hobie Fleet 52-sponsored regatta take advantage of an afternoon breeze Saturday, July 14. Lack of wind postponed the morning races, but E-Scow and HobieCat catamaran sailors from around the region were able to compete in a series of afternoon races when the wind conditions improved.
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Pull tabs can be a lucrative endeavor. The city limits lawful gambling groups that run pulltabs, bingo, paddlewheels and raffles to three establishments within its borders. The White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association would like a fourth. City leaders said no. That answer followed a request to change the gambling ordinance by the hockey association and a downtown restaurant that wanted to be No. 4. It was a discussion item on the July 10 City Council agenda. Manitou Grill & Event Center wants to bring in White Bear hockey pull tabs, a move manager Tony Benshoof called “crucial to the success of the business.” In an email to City Manager Ellen Hiniker (formerly Richter), Benshoof alluded to getting attorneys involved if they didn’t get their way. “We are also going to reach out on social media and various other outlets to get support from local hockey parents, who all want to support our efforts to get White Bear hockey in

Water Gremlin to be awarded damages Ruling issued in 2016 lawsuit against former executive WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Water Gremlin Company announced July 13 that an order granting judgement was issued by Judge Shawn M. Bartsh of Minnesota’s Second Judicial District Court on July 6, 2018, in regards to the company’s lawsuit against its former president, Robert W. Neal. The ruling, which is stayed for 30 days pursuant to Rule 125, will award Water Gremlin $5,776,502 in damages. In addition, Neal’s alleged counterclaims have been dismissed. In April 2016, the company filed a suit against Neal, along with another company officer and an undisclosed company that they jointly owned. The suit alleged theft of intellectual property, misappropriation of corporate funds, breach of fiduciary duties, and unjust enrichment. Water Gremlin settled
with the other defendants in late 2017, thus narrowing the scope of claims specifically to Neal’s actions. The company claimed that Neal had misappropriated significant company funds for personal expenses such as luxury vacations, personal gifts, and various expenditures for the benefit of his outside company. The activities dated back to April 2010 and continued through his termination of employment in October 2015. Neal was able to hide these expenditures from his superiors through repeatedly making false or misleading statements regarding the nature of such expenses, or simply not providing any information at all. In the ruling, the Court stated that Water Gremlin “has established a prima facie case that Mr. Neal breached his fiduciary duty to Water Gremlin by
using corporate money and resources for his own personal purposes and benefit.” The company requested, and the Court granted, approximately $1.3 million in damages resulting from the aforementioned expense reimbursement and other distributions. Scott Schulz, Water Gremlin’s Executive Vice President and the individual who led the investigation on behalf of the company, stated, “We are pleased with the Judge’s ruling and we appreciate the Court’s efforts in support of our claims arising from Mr. Neal’s actions.” According to the order, Schulz had testified that the investigation exceeded 2,000 hours of effort and examined over 30,000 documents. Schulz added, “It took a lot to get to the truth. Mr. Neal clearly mislead both the company and its parent company
for years. He was very creative at attempting to leverage expected activity, but once we had full access to all the documents we needed, the true nature of what was happening became quite clear.” Water Gremlin Company was founded in 1949 in White Bear Township as a supplier of innovative products to the recreational fishing markets. Their expertise in molding lead has now made the company the world's technological and market leader in lead battery terminals. Manufacturers rely on Water Gremlin to deliver consistent quality solutions through custom engineering, design, and automation. The company is a wholly- owned subsidiary of Okabe Co. Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan. From Press Release

Paying the piper
W
ith all of the introductory offers and shortterm (and supposedly free) deals we are bombarded with on a daily basis, I’m reminded of a story that some friends shared with me years ago about a trip to India. The small group of travelers had just arrived in Deli and were getting situated in their hotel rooms when they heard a commotion coming from the street below. When they looked out to see what was happening, they saw their traveling companion Keralee — a guileless and trusting woman who always seems able to see the good in people — happily riding down the street on top of an elephant. What started out a seemingly joyous introduction Angle of as into Indian culture, however, became a serious lesson in negotiation View when Keralee wanted to get down Paul Dols from the massive beast. There was no charge to get up on the elephant, but it was going to cost her to get down. I don’t recall the exact price that was negotiated with the elephant’s handlers, but by both Indian and American standards, it was not cheap. This story comes to mind every time I’ve attempted to buy a phone, apply for internet and cellular services or worked to decipher a billing statement. I’ve had conversations with several other people who also share the perspective that you have to be constantly vigilant in order to protect yourself from virtual pickpockets, swindlers or even worse. Ever since I was among the 40 million credit and debit card users caught up in the Target data breach during the 2013 holiday season, I’ve been using cash instead of a debit card for smaller purchases. I never imagined feeling like an eccentric outlier for using the exact change to pay for a cup of coffee, but judging from the number of people I see using their cards, I suspect I’m in the minority. I’ve been occasionally inconvenienced, but overall I don’t regret using cash and believe the practice has encouraged more thoughtful deliberation and curtailed many impulse purchases. Some of these allegedly free services are also influencing how we store and access our images and information. I know I’m going to sound like a curmudgeon, but I’ve always been bothered by the term “the cloud” to describe data storage and computing. I think it’s because, for me, the ethereal term completely disregards the cost and tangible elements of vast numbers of computers housed in climate controlled buildings connected to an electrical grid. While looking over various historical photographs and postcards for a mural project with Sarah Markoe Hansen, the executive director of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, I asked her if there was any consensus among historians about how history (and more specifically newspapers) will be preserved for future generations. She said there was currently a debate among historians about the use of digital media (like PDFs) versus microfi lm for archiving purposes. However, when a time capsule from 1940 was opened last month in downtown White Bear Lake, another time-honored information storage technology (print on paper) revealed its enduring value. The airtight container was filled with well-preserved documents and newspapers. In her role as a historian and preservationist, Markoe Hansen said that PDFs (portable digital files) “are wonderful, an appropriate and accessible format for the moment, but for me, it always comes back to paper.” I don’t know if anyone can predict how the details of this push into the virtual cloud will eventually be sorted out. All I humbly ask is that time-tested solutions are not completely discarded and that we’re informed about what the true cost of the ride is going to be before we climb up on the (figurative) elephant.

Fund suicide prevention efforts
I
t’s been a little over two weeks since the suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report on the dramatic increase in suicides in our country. Calls to suicide helplines went up, some people made calls to loved ones and friends to check up on them, a few people took a suicide prevention class. Now what? Movers and During the coming weeks Shakers will our attention to a truly serious Sue public health Abderholden crisis wane? By the time the next legislative session starts, will our attention have turned to other issues? Our history demonstrates that we too often stop paying attention and don’t take action. The fi rst suicide plan for our state was developed by the Minnesota Department of Health in 2000. At that time there was concern about the rising number of suicides — which was about 400 people a year back then. The legislature appropriated $1.1 million annually to implement the plan.
“The question now is will the legislature consider this a public health crisis and take action to increase funding for these efforts?” But in 2005 state funding was eliminated due to budget cuts. Funding was restored for the 2008-09 biennium only to be reduced for the 2010-11 biennium by over 75 percent. There was about $98,000 a year to fund community suicide prevention efforts. By the end of 2013, 673 people had died by suicide in Minnesota. In 2015, the state legislature allocated $146,000 per year for suicide prevention, funding a part-time suicide prevention coordinator and three community-based grants, and in 2016 allocated $348,000 per year for suicide prevention, funding a full-time suicide prevention coordinator and six communitybased grants. This funding allowed the department to fund suicide prevention efforts across the state including evidence-based trainings, working with the media on safe
messaging and holding postvention trainings to provide technical assistance to communities after a suicide in order to prevent clusters and contagion. A new statewide plan was developed to guide our efforts. The goals are broad, focusing on preventing suicide but also reducing risk factors such as isolation, trauma and limiting access to lethal means. The goals also include timely access to mental health care, including crisis care along with better data collection to inform prevention efforts. The question now is will the legislature consider this a public health crisis and take action to increase funding for these efforts? In 2016, 745 people in our state died by suicide. We need to take the number of lives lost seriously — famous or not — and fund the work to prevent further suicides. Sue Abderholden is executive director of NAMI Minnnesota (National Alliance on Mental Illness), a non-profit organization working to improve the lives of children and adults with mental illnesses and their families through education, support and advocacy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Thank you Legion Post 507
Most of us know the Kramer-Berg American Legion Post 507 as a group of very dedicated veterans that coordinate the Memorial Day Parade in Mahtomedi/Willernie. This is a wonderful service that they provide to remind us of the ultimate sacrifi ce made for our enduring freedom. However, the scope and scale of the Legion members work in our communities are often not seen or recognized. As the development director for the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation (MAEF), I know fi rsthand the incredible impact made over many years to our communities by Post 507, and specifically to our youngest citizens. In fact, the American Legion has made such a positive difference to MAEF we have a permanent Legion trustee on the MAEF Board of Directors. Since 1994, the American Legion 507 has given money for student scholarships to help further academic endeavors after graduating from Mahtomedi High School. In the last two years, Legion Post 507 has given $31,000 in scholarships to 32 Mahtomedi students. In addition, our education community has greatly benefited from a Legion presence. Specifi cally, the Legion has impacted the education community through their sponsorship of the annual MAEF Legacy Night, school anti-bullying initiatives, 4-H, children’s books for the Wildwood Library, Wildwood Artist Series, MHS Celebration of Excellence, Early Childhood Education, and Community Education summer programs. We as a school community and our communities in Mahtomedi Public Schools (ISD 832) are so very fortunate to have the long-standing commitment and unwavering support from Kramer-Berg American Legion Post 507. Thank you for your service and for all you do to enrich our communities. Kevin P. Donovan Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation
Concerned with closed path
I am writing to express my concern about the path closure between Echo Lake and Wild Ridge neighborhoods in Mahtomedi. This issue directly affects many people who live in the area and use the walking path regularly. I am concerned that a private citizen would destroy this public walking path without permission from the city nor the approval of their neighbors. The path has been in existence for over 25 years, and the destruction of this path is very disruptive to the neighborhood community. This path is used daily by many locals, and it is diffi cult to understand how the city of Mahtomedi would allow a private citizen (whose property borders a public path) to destroy this walkway. I hope the city of Mahtomedi will recognize the value of safe walking paths throughout the community and charge this reckless resident with the cost to restore the path to its original location. Rasmus Gantriis Mahtomedi
Rest in peace Rufus
I grew up in White Bear Lake and now live in California, but I still visit several times a year with my family. A favorite stop during my visits is Big Wood Brewery, which is where we met Rufus the dog and his amazing human. You might know them — Rufus rides in style in a custom-made trike. My kids are terrified of dogs, but Rufus was different. The kids slowly warmed to him and joyfully anticipated our visits to see him. Rufus helped cure the kids of their fear of dogs. We got to know his human, and learned that he was a therapy dog, a job this sweet dog was surely born to do. We recently learned that Rufus passed away in June, and we are heartbroken. We want to express our condolence to his human. We’ll visit White Bear Lake later this summer,
and certainly stop by Big Wood to have a beer in memory of Rufus. Monica Kim San Francisco, Calif.
Don’t miss the bull rushes
In response to Steve Peterson’s July 11 letter “Missing the bull rushes,” I’d like to remind him that the city of White Bear Lake has over 25,000 residents and probably just as many opinions. I certainly appreciate his opinion about the aquatic vegetation at Speiss’ Landing (Matoska boat launch). I would like to share my opinion that I’ve been patiently waiting for 10 years for the vegetation to be removed and the launch area restored to the state I found it in 20 years ago when I began renting a mooring ball. The low lake levels and resultant aquatic vegetation have prevented the sailboat dock from being placed for many years, which put an added burden on the main docks used by all boaters. In addition, the aquatic vegetation has made it extemely diffi cult to get from the shore to our moored sailboats. It is impossible to row through and it created an entrapment area where debris washed in and began to deteriorate. The odor wasn’t pleasant. And muskrats have no respect for private property. We are blessed to have a lake that is so cherished by sail boaters, power boaters, kyakers/ canoers, fishermen, swimmers, nature lovers of all ages, as well as the human and non-human animal life dependent on it for a home. There are many areas on the lake that provide the environment Mr. Peterson desires. I would also like to convey my extreme sadness that Mr. Peterson accuses “the people of the city we put our trust in” of stealing anything. I commend and applaud them for their desire and hard work for the nearly impossible job of trying to accomodate all of the lake users mentioned above, not to mention the non-residents who take the time to visit our lake. Bob Gillen White Bear Lake
A five-story apartment complex in Vadnais Heights?
This letter is in opposition to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a five-story apartment complex at Centerville Road and County Road F. Housing re-development is a key focus in the 2013 Vadnais Heights Strategic Plan, with improving the value of existing properties as a primary opportunity. A responsible approach would be to improve what is currently available, and build new homes that develop neighborhoods and add taxbased revenue for services. An unreasonable option is allowing a developer to build a five-story apartment complex with building and fire code variances, without being bound by existing zoning requirements. All of which will increase tax-payer expense; none of which will ever be borne by apartment residents. Specifically, concerns include: • Traffic – A three-way intersection in my opinion, will not support the congestion. With its proximity to the I-35E highway barrier, the ability to develop the area for reasonable safety needs will be severely limited. • Fire – Based on other cities’ experiences, the need for additional paidon-call fi refighters will be immediate for everything from burnt food to false alarms to confirmed fi res. And with increased reliance on mutual aid, relationships with surrounding communities will be strained. Let’s learn from other cities about what they would do over…if they could. • Ramsey County Sheriff – Public safety expense will be immediately evident, all of which should be included in contract negotiations for reasonable service, at increased cost to tax payers. • Schools – Student population will impact the various districts; Will
new school buildings and teachers be needed? Something I assume has been discussed with them? Vadnais Heights strengths continue to support that it’s a great, tax-affordable place to live. However, approving a PUD project of this size in the proposed location with the impacts as noted will eventually turn these strengths to weaknesses and threats, further driving tax-payers to live in cities with leaders that have recognized the importance of its value proposition and what it means to its residents and constituents. Roland V. Johnson Vadnais Heights
Make building worthy of sacrificed green space
I am writing to express my thoughts about the proposed development of the Aster Meadow Apartment building at the intersection of Centerville Road and County Road F. • Landowner Gerry Urban has every right to sell and/or develop his land. I have enjoyed driving by the bucolic property for over 40 years. In that time, Vadnais Heights has gracefully transitioned from a farm community into a 21st century suburb. Housing is a good use of the property. • Based on the architectural rendering, it appears that there is little or no green space in front of the building making the apartments look like a hotel with parking spaces out front. This design is ugly and cheapens the overall appearance of the building. We do not need another cheap development like those south of Centerville and east of Edgerton, which people refer to as the sub-par design and construction of Vadnais Heights. • The underground garage space sounds perfect for the Minnesota climate; the outdoor garages sound dreadful. Every apartment complex that I have ever seen with outdoor garages makes for a cheap and ugly addition. • The parking lot rendering shown on the corner is an ugly heat island; the apartment garages are garish. • It appears that there are two vehicle entrances and/or exits to the development along Centerville Road. This needs to be revised as the development is very close to the 3-way stop, which will lead to more road congestion and traffi c accidents. • Also, will additional traffi c lanes be required to accommodate increased traffic flow? If so, at whose expense? Please make the apartment building and surrounding property worthy of the green space that is being sacrifi ced to the development. Aster Meadows with green space is still tax base. No cheap crap, please. Sandra Bestland Vadnais Heights
Health care: Robbing Peter to pay Paul
I am sure you’re going to hear this campaign season about how Republicans are slowing the growth in health care premiums in our state health care exchanges. Well, let’s read the fi ne print. Did you know how Republicans in the Minnesota Legislature, including State Rep. Randy Jessup, “slowed the growth” in premiums? They accepted $208 million from the federal government to pay insurance companies in exchange for gutting $369 million from the state health care access fund, which funds the MinnesotaCare program for the working poor. It makes fiscal sense for all Minnesotans to have health coverage. When everyone is covered, patients who were getting the most expensive care due to a health care crisis can be diverted into cheaper preventative coverage. The MinnesotaCare program has been
a model for insuring people who work but can’t pay for all their coverage. But the Republicans are draining the fund that pays for it. Kelly Moller is running for State Representative in District 42A and she supports allowing anyone in Minnesota to use MinnesotaCare to buy health care. MinnesotaCare has proven cost-containment tools to keep premiums lower, and if someone has suffi cient income to pay the whole bill, they will. An unhealthy society is expensive. Let’s stop subsidizing the big insurance giants and start investing in people’s health. Erik Goebel Vadnais Heights
Two types of smoke detectors
After my wife and I survived a cabin fire on July 9, 2018, that took place while we were sleeping, I feel compelled to share what I have learned after receiving this second chance at life. We were awakened at 4 a.m. by my dog after neighbors banging on the windows and doors failed to wake us up. We awoke to a cabin filled with heavy black soot and smoke. My lungs and throat were filled with this soot making it extremely painful to breathe. I was dizzy and disoriented. The fire started at the roof and burned into the attic. While no actual flames had reached the living quarters yet, the smoke and soot did. I have three functioning smoke detectors wired to house power that never went off. I spoke with the White Bear Lake fire chief and learned there are two types of smoke detector sensors in use by manufacturers. One type is better at detecting hot open flame smoke while the other is better at detecting smoldering smoke such as the fire we experienced. Also there are now combination smoke and CO detectors available where this dual design with CO detections may have detected the type of fire we experienced. Also smoke detectors have an end of life usefulness and should be replaced when reaching that point. I urge all readers to take a few minutes and research smoke detectors online and use our greatest asset we have, our fire department. I found the conversation I had with our fire chief informational and welcomed.

Bookseller part of community
Len Lorence misses the point of the loss of the bookseller (Letters to the Editor, July 11). Lots of us can order from Amazon, but we choose to meet authors, page through books, look at the window display, and purchase items that appeal to a sense of whimsy. The crass statement of “put up or shut up” is certainly in keeping with the complete lack of civility that passes for discourse these days. The point of the bookseller is this, it was part of the community, a community that loves books, and values its presence in downtown White Bear Lake. Greed is one of the seven deadly sins, but with Gorden Gecko’s pronunciation of greed being good, our captains of industry haven’t looked back. Our downtown used to have the most wonderful White Bear Variety, which was destroyed by a landlord’s greed. It was his right to do as he pleased but he destroyed something many of us enjoyed and still miss. The ice cream shop by the Needle Point Cottage is gone, as is the cottage, replaced by a mundane office that really does nothing for the vibrancy of downtown or sense of community. The loss of the florist. Dick and Jim gone from the Medicine Chest. The art galleries. SEE LETTERS, PAGE 7A

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department reported the following incidents:
Vadnais Heights • Medics suspecting a narcotics overdose on Greenhaven Drive late the night of June 28 gave an unconscious 21-year-old two doses of Narcan.

The robber ordered everyone to the ground, told them not to move, pried open and cleaned out the registers and made tracks. • County animal control received a call July 9 concerning three raccoons stuck in a dumpster on County Road D. A deputy moved a broken bed frame awaiting disposal into position in the dumpster so the raccoons could climb out. Mission accomplished. • A Greenhaven Drive tenant called county animal control July 9 about nine little duckings in her garage that she was unable to keep out.

It was suggested that she leave the garage door open for a while to see if they would leave. They did. • A trio of juvenile males ran out of the Kwik Trip store in the 3200 block of Highway 61 at 1 a.m. on July 9, each carrying a six-pack of Redd’s Apple Ale, with one youth losing a shoe on the way out. Their vehicle was ID’d and White Bear Lake Police located the vehicle containing the three youths, one missing a shoe.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (CONTINUED) FROM PAGE 5A
The French bakery. Small shops with interesting goods have long since gone by the wayside. While I appreciate GoodThings and its interesting offering of goods, and a contributor of a worthwhile shop on our main street, it’s not necessary to have all the shops by the same owner. The bookstore is a contributor to something of value. Downtown for many years was a fun place to go and poke around and have a meal, dessert or a drink. White Bear had an opportunity to expand the downtown area to something more interesting than the “strip mall” project they opted for. So glad Cup and Cone survived. Everybody knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing. More to the point, maybe community can be likened to a zero. On its own, it’s nothing, but put it with another number, it’s something. Frank Artner White Bear Township
A i tV Against Vadnais d i H Heights i ht apartment building
I’d like to share my experience with rental property fi rst hand as a young boy growing up in south Minneapolis. In the late 1950s, contractors came in to tear down three homes and build one big apartment building. The problem was the parking lots were small and parking spilled over into the front of private homes. This happened twice on the block I personally lived on. It is still a problem to this day. It really upset my father and other residents. Indiscriminate rental building is the death of a neighborhood. A building in Vadnais Heights with 156 apartments would bring in approximately 300 new people, at least that many new cars, on that corner. It would be naive to think the traffic flow would only be on Centerville Road. It would migrate to other streets as well. Has anyone brought up the subject of section 8 housing in this building with subsidized rents? Rental buildings this big are death to residential homes. This is all about tax dollars for the city.
Also Curt Al as far f as Commissioner C i i C t Cooper’s need for high-density housing, the city could tear down some homes next door to him, build a 156unit building and then ask him how he feels. This area is zoned for homes and town homes. If you would like a quick lesson on the intelligence of our commission’s and council’s zoning decisions, take a quick drive over to Koehler Road and Centerville Road and look at the two new homes they allowed to be built in a bowl. On the city’s own plat map this site was rated low for buildability. No fill was really brought in to raise the height of the building site. It appears to be a swamp. I have a vote of no confidence in our planning commission. Steve Gaida Vadnais Heights
What column didn’t mention
Gene Johnson’s column last week described the rising cost of newsprint due to new tariffs from Canada. He continued on by denouncing the tragic killings of newsroom employees at the
Annapolis A li Capital C it l Gazette. G tt He H is i concerned about the increase in violence in this country, and blamed Hollywood movies, violent TV programs and families who are having difficult times raising their children. I agree with those concerns. I noticed he didn’t mention those newsprint tariffs reflect (President) Donald Trump’s tough new approach to U.S. trade relations with Canada. And he also conveniently overlooked Trump’s calls for violence against protesters from the earliest days of his candidacy, his continued references to the press as the “enemy of the people,” his tacit support of neo-Nazi organizations, his praise for murderous tyrants like Kim Jong Un and Rodrigo Duterte, and his constant use of Twitter to denigrate those who call him out for the thug that he is.

Building boom brings dollars to White Bear Lake WHITE BEAR LAKE — It's been a busy six months for the building department. As the accompanying spreadsheet shows, permit applications through June are 35 percent higher than last year at this time. Valuations for those projects are double. Most of the increase comes from new commercial/ industrial construction, which shows a $10.7 million increase year to date over 2017. Community Development Director Anne Kane noted from the fi gures: “We're seeing great investment in this community.” In fact, the total number of permits thus far in 2018 for all building department activity, including Mahtomedi, which uses White Bear Lake services, is 1,894, the most since 2005. The dollar amount assigned to those projects is listed at $40.7 million; surpassed only in 2015, which saw 1,534 permits valued at $48.4 million. Big ticket items for 2018 in the commercial sector are the Lunds & Bylerys at $9 million; Walser Polar Mazda at $3.7 million; the White Bear Sports Center renovation at $5.3 million and Festival's renovation, $600,000. In Mahtomedi, the largest 2018 project has been Century College at $1.3 million. The city of White Bear Lake Building Department serves as the “White Bear Area Inspection Department” and provides plan review, permit processing, building inspection, rental housing inspection and code enforcement activities on a contract basis to the city of Mahtomedi. The contractual relationship with Mahtomedi has been SUBMITTED in place for at least 20 years. Permits have been pulled for 61 commercial building/renovation projects in White Bear Lake so far this year, totaling $22.9 million. Big ticket items are the new Lunds & Byerlys on Centerville Road, Walser Polar Mazda on Highway 61, the White Bear Sports Center on Highway

establishments. Lions members were in attendance at the meeting to oppose increasing the hockey association's limit. Benshoof did not mince words, saying Manitou wanted only White Bear hockey, adding he and owner Brian Farrell were “really upset” they couldn't get them into the restaurant. Councilman Dan Jones said he had no interest in changing the number from three to four and challenged Benshoof's statement on success. “If your business is going to pass or fail on pull tabs, I'd have to question that,” he commented. With gross receipts at $16.7 million in 2017, White Bear hockey is the third highest lawful gambling organization in the state. The non profit association nets $2.5 million in net receipts, after prizes, and gives 11 percent, or $284,000 to charity, according to the annual report issued by the Gambling Control Board. Councilman Bill Walsh asked Hiniker if the hockey association's partnership with the city in the Sports Center renovation project was predicated on gambling in three establishments, not four. The answer was yes. “It appears the operations are run well; there is integrity. My gut (reaction) is to leave it where it is,” Walsh said. Other council members and the mayor concurred, saying “three is good.” For comparison, Mahtomedi permits one per organization; Vadnais Heights two and Maplewood four. Hugo does not exercise local authority to regulate charitable gambling and White Bear Township does not have local authority. Bars and restaurants that host a charitable gambling organization are permitted to charge “rent” of up to 10 percent of net receipts — a maximum of $1,750 for pull-tabs — that ranges from $1,400 to $4,800 monthly.
ADAM HENSCHELL | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Net receipts from gambling proceeds (after prizes are paid out) were reported at $2.7 million in 2017. Of that, the hockey association collects 54 percent; the Lions Club, 20 percent; American Legion 6 percent; VFW, 14 percent; basketball association 3 percent and Ski Otters 3 percent.

ADVOCATE: Smarte Carte founder continues to support sport of bicycling FROM PAGE 1A
“This time, I thought ‘I’m really leaving.’ I bought a round-trip bus ticket with my bond money (the value of the paper route) and went to California. It was 1950 and I was 14. I stayed a week and came back.” He had left his bike leaning against a building on Rice Street and asked the business owner if he had found one. The man had it in his garage. Instead of going home, the young teen, who would go on to run a multi-million dollar company, headed to the house of a friend who had moved to White Bear Lake. After a few weeks on his couch, the friend’s dad told Muellner he had outstayed his welcome. Muellner had found a job, meanwhile, as a caddy at the White Bear Yacht Club that he didn’t want to leave, so the homeless youth moved into a tent on the north shore of White Bear Lake. “I slept in a little hovel,” Muellner said. “I must have looked like hell.” Little could he know at the time that one day he would found Smarte Carte, an international company based in the namesake of his adopted lake. By the time Muellner sold it in 1993, his rental carts were in every major airport in the United States, most Caribbean Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Germany and Sweden. He also owned lockers in train stations, airports and bus terminals. The company did $25 million in sales. But back to bicycles where Muellner shared another story involving a tragic accident. “I befriended a couple of brothers when I was living near the lake. They worked at the Yacht Club, too. On the Fourth of July, we watched the fireworks and were riding down Hwy. 244 near Hwy. 96. One of the brothers was hit by a car. As his brother rode home to get his dad, I went to the boy. I could hear this gurgling and I thought, ‘Oh my God,’ a second boy is dead. I pulled out his tongue to help him breathe and remember pouring his teeth out of his mouth. I did not want to see one more young boy die. He did survive. When the police came, I disappeared into the weeds since I was a runaway.” After witnessing the accident, Muellner went home. “My father just said, ‘what do you want?’ It was really an eye opener for me. I thought, ‘what have I done?’ His mother told him to get in the house and get cleaned up. It was the last time we ever talked about it.” Eventually the son and father made
peace and Muellner decided “to make something of myself.” He got a job working nights while attending Washington High School on Rice Street. His high school sweetheart, Marilyn, helped him with his homework. They’ll be married 60 years in September. His many experiences, including service in the Army’s finance corps, a mechanical engineering degree, an independent streak that made it clear he couldn’t work for anyone very long, a savvy business acumen and plain, dumb luck that put him in the right place at the right time, all contributed to Muellner’s future success. His first company was MS Engineering, based in St. Paul. Later renamed Modern Systems, the company led Muellner to Hughes Industries in Colorado, a business involved in renting luggage carts at two airports: Salt Lake City and MSP. Modern Systems built the coin-operated cart system and helped design the carts. Short on capital, Hughes soon sold the rights to the MSP cart business to Muellner. When Hughes went bankrupt, Muellner flew to Denver to buy the business using $20,000 in equity from a house he owned on Lake McCarron. He didn’t think he’d get it. Surprisingly, he was the lone bidder. “Some place in the paperwork, the word Smart Cart showed up. It wasn’t registered,” Muellner said. “I put the letter e on the end of both words to register it and bingo, Smarte Carte was born.” At the same time, the Muellners also bought a 37-acre farm at 1777 Stillwater St. for $49,000. It was 1968 and they had three children. He started building his first machines to expand the cart business in the house; eventually adding a large pole barn. As Smarte Carte grew, he moved the business to Bellaire and F in the old Red Owl and hardware store. His daughter was taking dance lessons nearby and he noticed the two buildings were empty so he took a risk and bought them, not sure how he would fill the space. But Smarte Carte kept expanding as he got more contracts for more airports. The city purchased Bellaire Center, now called Normandy, from Muellner when he moved Smarte Carte to White Bear Parkway, where it remains today. “I learned to make a lot of money a little bit at a time,” he said. “That is why Smarte Carte always stayed $1 (to rent). The airport would ask, ‘Jim, are you

changing your price? Nope, $1 is good enough, I’d say. It kept out the competition. We were more efficient.” After Smarte Carte, Muellner started Just Two Bikes in Hugo, a specialty store that sold an innovative recumbent bicycle he designed. In fact he rode one of the bikes home from his daughter’s house in Wooster, Ohio, at age 69. The 600-mile, 10-day trip was a walk in the park for the seasoned bicyclist. That business was later sold to a young entrepreneur who shared Muellner’s enthusiasm for self propelled apparatus with wheels. At 82, biking remains a big part of Muellner’s life. He figures he’s logged more than 20,000 miles riding his bicycle around the United States. He’s ridden from Washington DC to Santa Cruz, California, twice. Two years ago he biked from Lake Itasca to New Orleans. He’s biked in France, Germany and The Netherlands. He started the Papa Bear ride that ran for seven years in White Bear Lake. “The biggest reason it didn’t make it is because parents didn’t like their kids riding on the street,” he said. “That is why I’m so excited about Lake Links. It is finally coming to terms with a safe route.” The sale of Smarte Carte in ‘93 enabled
Muellner to “do what I wanted. But you only need so much money to live,” he said. “We aren’t flamboyant; we don’t have fancy speed boats or a launch on the river. Our house on Bald Eagle was our gift to ourselves.” That unique house was featured in a Homes by Architects tour in 2013 and a pictorial feature in the White Bear Press. “It’s been a fun ride full of challenges and excitement,” he added, “not bad for a farm boy from New Munich and his high school sweetheart.” These days he is a voice for Lake Links, remains active in Rotary Club and is starting a youth group to teach young people how to fix bikes. Not sure of the exact number, he owns at least 15 bikes, including an electric fat tire model used to pull a cart for trail repairs. As the long conversation winds down, the grandfather of five says he has but one regret: “I rode into town safely on a bike in my youth but I cannot ride out of town safely in my senior years. Today, the road is four lanes with a 40 mph speed limit. It is my wish, my hope, my prayer, that some time in the future I can ride my bike safely out of White Bear Lake.”
Hugo circus travels to Hugo as Big Top returns BY SHANNON GRANHOLM THE CITIZEN EDITOR
Two golden tigers, one African lion, a draft horse, a miniature horse, American eskimo dogs, along with a dwarf cow, miniature alpaca, goats and ponies will soon fill Lions Park in Hugo. Culpepper & Merriweather Circus will return to Hugo July 21. Culpepper & Merriweather is one of three active circuses that call Hugo, Oklahoma, or “Circus City USA,” home. For many years, the Hugo Lions Club has sponsored the circus every other year as a fundraiser. The proceeds raised from the event support two scholarships given to high school seniors at Good Neighbor Days. “It is a super family-oriented circus. Every person in that troop is really nice and they are all family people,” said Lion Pete Pedersen. “For us it is an opportunity to have a community type of event. Even if the Lions didn't make any money, it is still the kind of thing the Lions like to do in Hugo. The Lions are very particular in how we spend the money that we get from the community. Every nickel that we raise from the community has to go back to the community.” Culpepper & Merriweather Circus will present one of its “best performances
yet” for its 32nd year. With performers from U.S, Canada and Mexico, the show will have something everyone will enjoy. “It's really quite simple. We are classic Americana. We are a wandering family show, it's very much family oriented because it's our families in the show performing for your families,” said Leo Aceton, the clown. “It is something fun and safe that you can bring the whole family to and enjoy. It really is for the whole family, it is not just something that you can tolerate as your kids enjoy.” This is Aceton's fifth season with Culpepper & Merriweather. “I have been on tour with one show or another nonstop since 1998. It's my 20th year on tour so I am officially old,” he said. For 32 weeks of the year, Culpepper & Merriweather brings an action-packed 90 minute show to over 200 towns in 17 different states. Typically they spend one day in a town, before hitting the road and moving on to the next town. “Hugo is kind of a holiday for us,” Aceton said. “Normally we get up at 5 or 6 in the morning and drive anywhere in between 10 to 200 miles, set up the big top, put on two amazing shows, tear it all down, get some rest and do it again.” Pedersen said if community members want to support the Lions, it is important they purchase tickets in advance from
IF YOU GO: Performances P f will ill be b 2 and d 4:30 4 30 p.m. SatS t urday, July 21 and Sunday, July, 22 at Lions Park, 5524 Upper 146th St. N, Hugo. Tickets are $7 for kids and seniors and $10 for adults in advance at Wiseguys Pizza in Centerville, Sager’s Liquor in Hugo or Holiday Station Stores located at 5970 Highway 61 N; and $8 for kids and seniors and $13 for adults at the gate.
one of three locations (Wiseguys Pizza in Centerville, Sager's Liquor in Hugo or Holiday Station Stores located at 5970 Highway 61 N), as the Lions receive a higher percentage of proceeds versus tickets purchased at the door. Pedersen and Aceton encourage anyone who can to attend a free tent raising at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, July 21. “The tent raising is something people should come and see. It is a throwback to the first circuses,” Pedersen said. Aceton, who will be the tour guide for the event, added, “I will have a lot of useless information. I will walk folks through our show's history, show how the tent goes up, who the animal stars are and how we take care of them...Tell people about our circus world. It gives us a chance to dispel some of the notions that people have about the circus. Misin-

Flagpole fossil It seems a fossil was uncovered by workers dismantling the flagpole monument at Third Street and Hwy. 61. White Bear Area Historical Society Director Sara Hanson is looking into the discovery, which appears to be an ancient leg bone laying diagonally across the stone. She has contacted several archaeologists who may come out to view the fossil while it’s still exposed.

Gem Lake begins paving way for Hy-Vee’s entree BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
GEM LAKE — Changes are coming to the corner of Highway 61 and County Road E and the city wants to be sure its “gateway” is properly developed. With Hy-Vee making overtures to build a large convenience store on a parcel known as Hoffmans Corner, amendments are required to the city’s zoning ordinance. The Planning Commission wasted no time in recommending a few changes to the district’s land use, voting 3-0 July 10 to add permitted uses. Those uses in the Gateway zone now include convenience stores with fuel islands, restaurants, coffee shops, microbreweries, meaderies and associated retail, and on and off sale of liquor. Hy-Vee plans both a Starbucks coffee shop and liquor sales at the proposed store. In his report to City Council the next day,
commission Chairman Ben Johnson said Hy-Vee representatives attended the meeting and both parties had “a good conversation about what a gateway is intended to be.” The second part of the conversation, he said, involved Hoffman Road. The company is waiting to hear from the city regarding its plans with the road and what may be demanded from the developer. The city in turn, is waiting for a traffic study. “There is a lot up in the air regarding bus rapid transit at that corner, too,” Johnson told the council, minus Faith Kuny and Mayor Bob Uzpen. “Various entities are interested in what happens to that section of the Gateway.” Johnson added that negotiation is important as the project moves forward. “What does the city get in return for making accommodations for the developer?” he asked. “Staff pointed out that they are looking for giveaways. I’m inclined to think that a nice development on that corner might start a chain reaction of nice developments. I
don’t think we should be negotiating against ourselves.” Discussion will continue at the Aug. 7 Planning Commission meeting. The project will also be on the Aug. 8 City Council agenda. Members took no action July 10. No one spoke in opposition at the public hearing, according to the city’s planner, Tom Riedesel. A number of items still need to be resolved, including a turn lane to Starbucks, pedestrian access, and the square footage of glass on the storefront. Hy-Vee’s stores are 35 percent glass and city ordinance calls for 60 percent. There was no update on annexation of the property. At last month’s meeting, the council authorized the city attorney to start the process of annexation with Vadnais Heights. A small piece of the corner resides in the neighboring city. Property owner Don Waldoch agreed to pay Vadnais Heights for the lost tax revenue but the city may have to pay legal fees.

JULY 18, 2018
LOOKING BACK Week of July 15-21, 2018 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1918 On the 4th of July there was an enjoyable time at the home of Mrs. McQuad when the Neighborhood Club entertained a number of soldiers from the aviation school. Bathing, base ball and kindred sports were featured. 1943 The White Bear Fire Department has been very fortunate in receiving the use of an E. & J. resuscitator from the village of Dellwood. We wish to express our sincere thanks for the use of this machine. This resuscitator differs from the H. & H. inhalator now used by the Rescue squad in the manner of administering oxygen, as it requires no artifi cial respiration. 1968 Marine Pfc. Jerry Ellis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ellis, was killed accidentally in Thau Thein province, Vietnam, when a recoiless rifl e accidentally exploded on July 4th, while on a firing mission. Jerry was a graduate of the White Bear High School, class of ‘66, attended Lincoln School and spent one year at Anoka Ramsey Junior College. 1993 The White Bear Body Shop on Fourth Street in downtown White Bear, has been servicing, painting,

and repairing vehicles since 1938. Dick Hanson took over the family business from his dad in 1960. In the 30 years that followed, the business has changed dramatically in everything from servicing cars to disposing of paints and oils.
Looking Forward to the Past Upcoming Historical Society Events Hucksters & Holy Men-The Buying of Mahtomedi Monday, July 23 6 p.m., Ramsey County Library - White Bear Lake Branch 2150 Second St. Join us as we hear from Steve Wolgamot when he portrays “John Espy”, a founder of the Wildwood
Park Association and the Mahtomedi Chautauqua to tell the story of the early days of what would become Mahtomedi. FREE event but donations are welcome. Presented by the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society in partnership with the Ramsey County Library-White Bear Lake.

Zephyrs new volleyball coach has strong club team background BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Eric Poppelman, a longtime club coach and former college coach, will head the Mahtomedi High School program, announced new activities director Aaron Forsythe. “I’m ready and excited for this new challenge at Mahtomedi,” said Poppelman, who is married with four children. “This is my fi rst high school job, so I’m learning all the nuance that goes into running a high school program. There appears to be a lot of talent available at Mahtomedi.” Poppelman played for the University of Wisconsin club team, graduating in 1998 with an elementary education degree. He coached Cardinal Stritch University men’s and women’s teams from 2005-09. Last fall, he was an assistant at St. Catherine’s University in St. Eric Poppelman Paul. As a club coach, he had two national champion teams at Burnsville-based Northern Lights — the 2013 USAVJO 16 USA (in Dallas) and the 2014 AAU 16 Premier (in Orlando) — along with the 2017 runner-up in AAU 18 Premier (in Orlando). He owns the Surface Beach Volleyball Club, based in Inver Grove Heights, and was beach director for Eden Prairie Beach Volleyball Club. He’s coached clubs in Milwaukee, Illinois and Florida, and spearheaded Woodbury’s Oarj and Rec youth volleyball program. Poppelman succeeds Angela Helle, who resigned.

Exciting year at Mahtomedi capped Kirch’s eventful athletic director career BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Three years ago, Ray Kirch was plucked from retirement to help out Mahtomedi High School as activities director. “My one year as an ‘interim’ wound up being three years,” said the longtime administrator, not complaining. Kirch has retired again, for good this time (he’s pretty sure). His last day was June 29 and he has turned over the reins to Aaron Forsythe. It’s been an eventful career, of which he has few regrets. The school year 2017-18 was a good one to quit on, with Mahtomedi fielding two state champion teams — baseball and girls soccer — along with state semifinalist teams in boys hockey and boys lacrosse, and other top-10 ranked teams in football, boys soccer, girls lacrosse and boys and girls basketball. “A wonderful way to end,” Kirch, 61, acknowledged, when contacted on a golf course last week. “It really put an exclamation point on my career in public education.” That includes 28 years as an activities director at Blaine, Watertown-Mayer, McFarland (Wis.) and Osseo, from where he initially retired after seven years there. He was an English teacher and football assistant coach before going into administration. Longtime prep football fans recall vividly the 1987 state finals in which Blaine nipped Cretin-Derham Hall

25-24 on the most exciting finish in Prep Bowl history, with quarterback Tom Newman, rolling out on a twopoint conversion, hit just before the goal line and offi cials Ray Kirch ruling that he broke the plane, by about a halfinch. Kirch sent in that play. He was Blaine’s offensive coordinator. “That was a very controversial call. It was so close,” said Kirch. He was also Blaine’s athletic director at the time, and that was the first of four state titles occurring during his various watches. Osseo won in boys basketball (also in the fi nal second of play) in 2012. Mahtomedi doubled his total this past year, under coaches Dave Wald (soccer) and Robert Garry (baseball). In high school, Kirch played football, basketball and baseball, at McFarland, Wis., while also active in theater, which came in handy for a future activities director. He played college football at Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Kirch and wife Becky, a real estate agent, have two children who attended Blaine High School, with Billy distinguishing himself in sports and Kate in music.

‘Dynamic school environment’ attracted Mahtomedi’s new activities director BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Mahtomedi High School has a new activities director. Aaron Forsythe, a former college hockey player, took over on July 2, after serving in the same capacity at his hometown Forest Lake the past four years. “I wasn’t looking to move on from Forest Lake, but the dynamic school environment and supportive communities that Mahtomedi High School serves was very attractive,” Forsythe stated, adding that it was the fi rst time he’d applied anywhere else since starting his education career in 2006. Forsythe succeeds Ray Kirch, who retired June 29. First order of business in June was to help Kirch to fill a vacancy for volleyball head coach, leading to the hire of Eric Poppelman (see separate story). Currently, Forsythe is getting familiar with the district’s protocols and policies, while “making sure all our fall sports/activities are ready to roll out this August.” Typical for an activites director in July, he is busy lining up officials, game
workers and schedules for all the sports, among other details. “I’m impressed with the pride and energy of the coaches and students I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so far,” said Forsythe, who’s been working with Kirch, principal Kathe Nickleby and assistant principal Luanne Wagner. His lieutenant is Bill Mauricio, who assisted Kirch the past two years and is also girls hockey coach. “Bill has a great skill set and has been very helpful in my transition to MHS,” the new director said. After a standout hockey career at Forest Lake as a defenseman, Forsythe played four years at Minnesota State Mankato, followed by a pro season in the East Coast Hockey League during the NHL lockout season of 2004-05. Upon joining his hometown faculty in 2006, Forsythe was an English teacher, head coach of boys hockey, and assistant coach of girls golf. His father, Dan, was also a head hockey coach for the Rangers. Forsythe and wife Christina have two daughters: Evelyn, 6, who will attend Wildwood Elementary, and Nora, 4. The family is shopping for a home in the Mahtomedi district, he said.

A view from the forward tees One of the most interesting things about golf is the fact that players of different abilities can compete with each other on a level playing field because of two things. Thing one is the handicap system. Players are assigned a handicap by the USGA that is based upon their average score. The degree of diffi culty for a Tee Time particular course is also a function of the handicap system. I call it the Betsy Larey great equalizer. Thing two, which most players give little thought to, is what set of tees you play from. For many years, most courses had three sets of tees: blue, white and red. The best male golfers played from the blues, also referred to as the tips. The white tees were occupied by the majority of male golfers (most of whom wish they were good enough to be on the blues). The red tees were always the domain of women and juniors. From the time I started playing golf at age 5, I always thought it was very odd that the tee boxes were designated by gender. I asked the golf professional at our club why this was and he said “because men are better and hit the ball farther. “ When I reached my junior year in high school, the boys I had always competed with moved back to the white tees. Being the competitor that I was, I moved back as well. The resident pro immediately came out of the clubhouse to inform me that I belonged on the “women’s” tees. I politely declined, and the rest as they say is history. It’s only been in the last decade that golf courses are starting to understand the wisdom of having four
or five sets of tees, and coloring them anything but blue, white and red. Resort courses take it a step further and designate each tee by handicap, not gender. While I applaud the golf industry for its “enlightened” view, there is still one major problem with a number of the newer golf courses. The view from the forward tees is not even remotely related to the back tees. At most of the newer golf courses, the forward tees are literally 20 to 100 yards in front of the back tees, somewhere off to the side of the fairway with little thought given to where the landing zone is. In addition, these tee boxes are much smaller, and not always level. I’ve even seen a number of local courses where the tee boxes actually set you up to hit directly out of bounds or into a hazard. Every golf hole (par 4’s and par 5’s) should have a distinct landing zone from the tee box. From there, the second shot (on a par 4) should be approximately a 7 iron into the green. That’s the way golf holes are designed from the middle and back tees. One of the best courses I’ve ever played is TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedre Florida. Pete Dye (with the collaboration of his wife Alice) was hired to do the redesign. One of their main goals was to make the course playable and enjoyable for all golfers. On the par fours, Alice would go out to the fairway and fi nd the spot where she could hit a 7 iron to the green. From there, she would tee a ball up and hit a driver backwards towards the tee boxes. That’s where the forward tees were then located. On the par fi ves, it would be a 7 iron and a 5 wood. The same concept was utilized for four sets of tees so players of all handicaps would have a golf hole set up the same way as the professionals. So what could local golf courses do to make their
layouts more playable for all golfers? A good start would be for owners and managers to actually play a round from the forward tees. Tee off on par 4’s and 5’s with your 150 yard club. Is there a natural landing area? How about your approach shot into the green? Are the tee boxes large enough and are they level? Are there any tree limbs directly in front of you and are you lined up to hit into a hazard? Your members and patrons will be forever grateful. If you think your course is set up well for those who play from the forward tees, I would love to hear from you. Over the rest of the summer, I will check out all of the courses I hear about and report back. Betsy Larey is an LPGA Class A Teaching Professional who has taught adults and juniors for years.

Gymnasts Ella Zirbes, left, and Lily Pederson show how they placed in the American Classic meet earlier this month.
Lily Pederson and Ella Zirbes walked into the Huntsman Arena on July 6 with eyes wide open and humble as can be, said one of their Flips Gymnastics coaches. “They were excited just to have landed a spot at the meet and to be competing among the nation's greatest gymnasts,” noted Lori Roskoski. “Little did they know, it would be a night to remember.” The girls and their coaches, Bart and Lori Roskoski, were in Salt Lake City, Utah, for the American Classic Gymnastics meet hosted by USA Gymnastics. Lily and Ella accomplished an amazing feat that evening, placing second and third in the All Around, respectively, in the Hopes 12/13-year-old age division. They beat out 45 other gymnasts for spots at the U.S. Championships, the highest level of competition in the country.
Lily, from White Bear Lake, and Ella, from Stillwater, train at Flips Gymnastics in White Bear Lake where a typical week consists of 28 hours of gymnastics training, conditioning and ballet. The girls will compete at the U.S. Hopes championships in Columbus, Ohio, July 27.

School board approves partial levy amount BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
MAHTOMEDI — The school board reauthorized the $300 amount per student it has authority to receive from taxpayers at a meeting July 12. The reauthorization will last five years. The state allows school boards to receive a certain amount from taxpayers per student without being voter-approved. The previous authorization was also for five years and for $300, approved by the board in 2014.
School board member Lucy Payne expressed concern that the state-approved amount had not increased along with inflation over the last five years. Many of the district's budget restraints are tied to state funding not keeping up with inflation, she noted. Regular state funding has only increased nominally over the last 15 years, Finance Director Bill Menozzi has said. If the amount had kept up with inflation, it would be $600 higher per student. State aid comprises 73 percent of the
district's budget. About 21 percent of the district's revenue comes from local property taxes, including the $300 board-approved levy amount. The district is asking for an increase to the voter-approved levy amount this November. The proposed 10-year levy is tiered, which means the amount increases every three years to keep up with increasing costs. The levy would increase the voter-approved amount per student by about $275 in 2019, 2022 and 2025. The current voter-approved amount is $744 and if
the new levy is approved, it would be $1,570 per student in 2025. For an average residential market value $350,000 home, annual taxes would increase by about $159 every three years. Combined with the $300 the board has authority to add, the current total $1,044 referendum authority is among the lowest in the northeast metro. The levy would provide the district with about $1 million.
SCHOOL BRIEFS Terry Trautman, mental health resource coordinator. “These mental health issues are present in our buildings and teachers need a basic understanding of children's behaviors, what is outside of normal, and when they may need to contact a specialist to secure intervention.”
New student support staff
Mahtomedi Public Schools hired a new director of student support services, Tony Pierce. He will oversee special education and social-emotional learning, along with other duties. Pierce previously worked in Grand Rapids as assistant director of special services for the school district there.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council conducted the following business at its July 10 meeting: • Heard from City Manager Ellen Richter that she has legally changed her name back to Hiniker, her maiden name. • Heard a time capsule presentation from Area Historical Society Executive Director Sara Hanson. “We've had a lot of fun with this,” she told council. Hanson added it was a relief the copper box wasn't empty since it was really light. Contents included copies of the White Bear Press, a “poignant” letter by Press owner/publisher W.A. Stickley to whomever opened the capsule, photographs and other papers (see story in June 27 issue). The items were in a box buried in the veterans memorial fl agpole base in 1940. When the box was opened at Marketfest June 21, Hanson found the papers surprisingly
dry and in great condition. “There was not a huge amount of stuff, but it’s interesting and kind of moving,” she said. Items have been copied and archived by the society. When the new fl agpole is dedicated Nov. 11, the base will again contain the copper time capsule. Hanson plans to place copies of the original items back in the box along with letters from people involved in the restoration project. • Watched a mock traffic stop video that demonstrates the new body cameras worn by White Bear Lake police officers. Police Chief Julie Swanson said residents are supportive of the addition to officers' uniforms. Policy states that they turn the cameras on when responding to all calls for service and during all law enforcement-related encounters and activities.
• Heard from the police chief that an $80,000 grant from the county will be used for a traffic safety initiative that includes DUI, speed and traffic enforcement. Chief Swanson added that the department is receiving $5,000 from the county for stepped up pedestrian enforcement. White Bear Lake is the only city other than St. Paul to get the funding. An enforcement operation is planned sometime in August, date to be determined. It will be similar to last year's downtown crosswalk sting that cited drivers for not stopping for pedestrians. The department is also doing a stop sign enforcement sweep July 27 and 30. • Approved a request by Festival Foods for a sign variance as recommended by the Planning Commission. The store on County Road E re-
quested an additional 320 square feet of signage or a total of 782 square feet when the sign code allows 200 square feet. Festival representative Jason Herfel told the Planning Commission the mural signs would help “warm the exterior” of the building. The graphics will change seasonally. Herfel noted that Festival Foods celebrated its 42nd anniversary in White Bear Lake last month. • Approved a request by Dawn and Gary Gillespie for a 10-foot variance to build a two-car detached garage at 4916 Morehead Ave. • Authorized fi nal payment of $64,700 to Northwest Asphalt & Maintenance for the 2018 crack sealing program. • Moved the fi rst August meeting to Aug. 15 instead of Tuesday, Aug. 14 due to the primary election.

Merging finances after tying the knot their partner views money or the disparities in spending habits among partners. Couples who make early efforts to get on the same page concerning finances may have smoother waters ahead than those who delay such discussions. · Establish goals together. Couples should define their financial goals together. Is it a goal to save for early retirement? Is a house in the immediate future? Is fre-
quent travel a desire? Are we planning to contribute much to future children’s educations? These questions and more need to be addressed early on. By creating a financial plan together, couples can more clearly map out their financial futures. · Combining accounts may be easier. Some couples want to maintain their full financial independence. But combining accounts can help couples avoid arguments about secrecy and concerns about partner spending. Combining accounts also affords couples a clearer picture of their spending and saving habits. · Assess debts as a team. One person may be bringing more debt to the marriage than another. It’s important for all cards to be on the table and to work together to eradicate debt.
If a person will be coming to the marriage with poor credit, it may be worth it to keep things separate until a spouse works on remedying his or her finances, according to Credit.com. · Decide how to split expenses. One partner may make more money than the other, and one may spend more time handling household needs or future childcare responsibilities. Couples need to agree whether one person pays for certain bills exclusively, whether they spend from one salary and save the other, or combine finances completely and spend equally, offers NerdWallet. Engaged couples who develop a post-wedding financial plan may find their transition to being married much easier than those who delay such discussions.

Loon Chronicles: Time to Party!
County Road J being resurfaced
The surface layer on County Road J between Highway 61 and Portland Avenue is being removed and replaced with new, smooth pavement. Land surveying crews are working in the project area before, during and immediately after construction. The work began July 12 and should last three weeks. The road will be closed for through traffic so drivers are asked to use alternate routes. Driveway access and business access will be maintained.
This has been a fun week for Loon watching, as their behaviors have become more communal and less territorial. It is not uncommon to see five or six Loons, from other lakes, drop in around 6:30 a.m. and gather in one expanding group. They still pair off and engage in stare downs, but their approach appears to be more on the friendly side. There is really little left to prove to each other, at this point in the summer. Once assembled, a leader will emerge and direct the group to form a circle. Head bobbing and circling each other follows. Often, the Loons will lower their bills into the water and tease and splash each other. Another favorite is the well coordinated group dive that always leaves us guessing and trying to predict when and where they will next “pop up” in the water. When things get really rambunctious, a few might even charge and start rowing their wings. When the party ends, the Loons go their separate ways to fish for much of the day before they find each other for sunset. The Eagles were well behaved this week.

Jethro's Char-House has been sold to Don and Janis Guerin, who own Doc's Landing in White Bear Lake. The day will be bittersweet for Bowie, who opened the Mahtomedi restaurant in Lincoln Square in 1978 with her late husband Larry. After working seven days a week for years, what will she do with all that leisure time? “I haven't decided,” Bowie replied. “Probably rest for a month.” The owner added she is trying to keep things as normal as possible or business as usual, until the 29th. Fixtures and restaurant décor will be for sale during her last week of business. The doors will close July 30 as the interior is renovated. “I wish the new owners success,” Bowie said. “They have new ideas and I hope our customers are receptive. Many items are staying on the menu and they want to keep the entire staff, so that is good.” How will she feel on the last day? “I don't know. I will certainly miss everyone. We have wonderful clientele, friends and employees who are like family.
This business has been a way of life for 40 years.”
Coffee house gets coveted space at State Fair
Anchor coffee house on Washington Square will add a second address during the State Fair. After four years of trying, the business was approved as a vendor during Minnesota's Great Get Together. “It's been on our bucket list,” said co-owner Denise Atkinson, who runs the downtown coffee house with son Brad Atkinson and other family members. She's not sure if the Fair gig is permanent, but “we want to do a great job so they want us back,” she said. “We think it's a good fit.” They plan to serve cold brew coffees, lattes, freshbrewed drip coffee and their popular banana chocolate chip gluten-free muffins. “They are goose-pimple good,” added Atkinson. The 2018 State Fair runs Aug. 23 through Labor Day, Sept. 3. Debra Neutkens

County Road E a hive of activity
A drink the ancient Greeks called a gift from the gods is coming to Gem Lake. Mead maker Josh Eckton plans to open Honey Bear Meadery at 1595 County Road E in 2019, one of only two places in the state that craft the fermented honey drink. Possibly the oldest alcoholic beverage known to man, mead is made from honey, water and yeast. It is neither beer nor wine but some people call it honey wine, said Eckton, who has been making mead for several years. He and wife Dana are co-owners of the new meadery. The couple met in Alaska and moved to the area to be closer to family when they had children, choosing Gem Lake because it's close to their White Bear Lake home. Josh has been a stay-at-home dad to their four children the last six years and felt it was time to put his food science and technology degree to use. “The meadery is the next chapter in our book,” he said. Honey Bear will seat 48 people in a family friendly space and sell mead by the glass or bottle. Prepared foods such as sandwiches, salads and baked goods, and locally made soft drinks will also be sold. “The fun part of mead is its many different flavors and ingredients to make different varieties,” Eckton said. “I plan on having five when we open: blueberry, strawberry, traditional honey, honey crisp apple and beer mead, which is called braggot.” Honey will be locally sourced and area orchards will supply the fruit. They hope to open by May 2019, joining another new retailer across the street at Hoffmans Corner, Hy-Vee. As an aside, a quick search online revealed this interesting tidbit: Thank mead for your honeymoon. “Sweet mead is the original aphrodisiac. The origin of 'honeymoon' harkens back to the medieval tradition of drinking honey wine for a full moon cycle after a new marriage. All that golden essence supposedly ensured a fruitful union bearing plenty of children. This mead-based insurance policy was taken so seriously that a bride’s father included a month’s worth of mead in her dowry.”

Expand living spaces with clever ideas Homeowners looking to add more space to their homes do not necessarily need to make major renovations. They simply have to see the possibilities in outdoor living spaces. Outdoor living spaces are coveted niches in a home. The American Home Furnishings Alliance says more than 70 percent of American households have outdoor living spaces, and nearly 70 percent of people use these spaces at least once per week in-season. Furthermore, homeowners are increasingly interested in enhancing these spaces to make them more usable and comfortable. A recent survey from the online home design and remodeling resource Houzz found that more than 4,500 users were planning a landscape update. In addition, 56 percent of homeowners surveyed were making updates to improve their yards for entertaining. While the creation of outdoor living spaces can cost thousands of dollars depending on the renovation, homeowners have more budget-friendly options at their disposal as well. The following are some ways to create inviting spaces no matter how much squarefootage is present. Revamp a garage or shed Rather than turning a storage area into a catch-all for items time forgot, clean out the space and put it to better use. For instance, kids may appreciate their own clubhouse away from the main living area. These spaces also can be handy bonus rooms for when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate and backyard guests need to seek shelter. Wall art, curtains, a pendant light, and some comfortable outdoor-compatible furniture can quickly transform a space. Create a relaxing nook Whether there’s a ledge, overhang, small terrace, or porch off the house, turn it into a relaxing area for reading a book or sipping a beverage. Use a few outdoor pillows, pull up a small folding table and dress the area with hanging lights and potted plants for a quiet retreat. Add privacy to a porch If it’s privacy you covet, install curtain rods and hang lightweight mesh or another translucent material that obscures neighbors’ views without blocking out natural light. Invest in outdoor sofas and chaises to create an outdoor living room right on the porch. If your budget allows, consider closing in the porch as a true three-season room so it can be used throughout fall, spring and summer. Outdoor living spaces are booming and highly achieveable, and many such spaces need not be expensive.

Supporting Cancer Survivors ACS has helped more than 33,000 women manage appearance-related side effects of treatment and provided more than 9,000 peer support services to breast cancer patients. ACS has also provided more than 112,000 special kits of tailored infor-mation and resources for newly diagnosed patients and thousands of patients, survivors, and caregivers use their online Cancer Survivors Network

Fighting Cancer through Public Policy The American Cancer Society Cancer Action NetworkSM (ACS CAN), is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, advocacy affiliate, that works with lawmakers at the federal, state, and local levels to pass laws and policies that im-pact the ACS mission and improve their ability to prevent, detect, and treat cancer. Some results of these efforts: More than 2.7 million people in the US will be covered by new local smoke-free laws that include restaurants and bars once 2017 ordinanc-es are fully implemented. Congress approved a $2 billion increase in medical research funding for the National Institutes of Health, including $475 million for the Na-tional Cancer Institute for FY 2017. Lifesaving breast and cervical cancer screening and treatment pro-grams are provided to women due to advocating to protect and in-crease state funding levels.
Finding Cancer’s Causes and Cures ACS funded 755 grants to 180 research institutions and universities. The American Cancer Society has invested more than $4.6 billion in research and has given grant funding support to 47 individuals who went on to win the Nobel Prize. There were more than 4,400 downloads per month, on average, of Cancer Facts & Figures, our comprehensive publication of cancer data in 2017.
Helping Cancer Patients Access Care ACS provided more than 340,000 rides to treatment and other cancer-related appointments as well as nearly 452,000 nights of free lodging at various Hope Lodge® communities, and more than 49,000 nights of free/ reduced lodging through our Hotel Partners Program. Since 2011, CHANGE grants have supported community health centers in their efforts to reduce the unequal burden of cancer in underserved communities. Collectively, CHANGE grantees have provided more than 2.8 million outreach and education interventions and contributed to more than 800,000 breast, cervical, and colorectal screening exams provided at low or no cost. ACS patient navigators helped guide more than 40,000 newly diagnosed cancer patients to overcome barriers to care.
Offering Information and Education The ACS website, cancer.org, had more than 106 million visits for the latest, most accurate information on virtually all topics related to can-cer. The 24/7 helpline handled more than 1.34 million calls and live chats from those seeking support, information, and resources. ACS offers more than 40 award-winning books, from cookbooks to caregiv-ing support.
Providing Leadership and Education for the Health Care Community ACS cancer screening guidelines go through a rigorous, evidence-based review to help patients and their health care providers make the best choices to screen for cancer. These prevention guidelines help people reduce their risk of cancer, and survivorship guidelines help people live life to the fullest after cancer. ACS works in communities across the country to get health care pro-fessionals’ information and resources to help more people prevent cancer or find it early, when it may be easier to treat. ACS’ three peer-reviewed journals inform healthcare professionals about emerging science, so they can provide the best possible care for their patients.
