City parks repeatedly hit by vandals

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Park users who fi nd the public restrooms closed can blame vandals.

There has been more vandalism this year at public parks than ever before in Mark Burch’s nearly 30 years as Public Works director.

“Vandals have been very destructive,” Burch said. “It drives us crazy because it’s senseless, it’s expensive to repair and it takes a lot of time to clean this stuff up. Contractors have to be hired to come in for some of the repairs and that gets expensive.”

The person(s) doing the damage seem to keep returning to the same parks.

Podvin sees habitual vandalism, according to Burch, and Memorial Beach “has been hammered.”

Among the damage: • Side panels kicked out of the gazebo at Matoska Park at least twice.

• The restroom at Memorial Beach “busted up” the day before the Manitou Days dance.

Vandals are breaking sinks, countertops and stall partitions.

• “Tremendous damage” inside the restrooms, including graffiti sprayed on the walls, at Jack Yost Park and Podvin Park.

• Vandalism to the shelter and restrooms at Lakewood Hills Park.

City officials are considering surveillance cameras to catch perpetrators in the act.

According to Burch, the city is rigorously brainstorming ideas. The fi rst is the purchase of three trail cameras. Public Works is following the SEE VANDALISM, PAGE 9A

Graffiti artists have been leaving their mark in the restrooms at Jack Yost Park. Some work is even signed. The city is brainstorming ways to catch the culprits, including use of cameras.

Sports Center: Second sheet of ice remains hot topic

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — With the decision a week away on whether to move forward with the Sports Center renovation, much hinges on both the final price tag and a commitment by the city's partner in the project, the White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association (WBLAHA).

Early on, the skating community pledged up to $2 million in a 50-50 agreement to renovate the 28-year-old arena.

The cost was estimated at $4 million.

Those costs, however, have ramped up to $5.1 million, which leaves the $3.1 million balance potentially the city's obligation. And that's for just one sheet of ice.

Preparing for the possibility of a second sheet tacks on another $385,000.

The new refrigeration room will be bigger if a second sheet is planned, adding $230,000 to the cost estimate. Utilities, an electric panel and demolition of the green house on the property, rented to a White Bear firefighter, make up the remainder of the $385,000 needed.

City Council members were told at the July 11 meeting that although there is significant outside interest in planning for a second sheet, staff does not recommend pursuing it due to added cost.

Water walkers reach goal Above: Some of the approximately 100 participants in the Walk for Water begin their 3 mile journey along Lake Avenue in White Bear Lake Saturday, July 15. The goal of the benefit event was to raise $2,500 to help bring clean water to Chub Romdeng School in Cambodia.

At right: Elizabeth Birkeland and Sydney Peterson update a sign on display in West Park after finding out they had reached (and exceeded) their monetary goal. This is the second Walk for Water event the Mahtomedi and White Bear Lake Area High School students have organized. Last year they raised more than $1,500 to help drill a well for a primary school in the Ugandan village of Orapado. Find out more about the project at: https://www.h2oforlifeschools.org/sponsors/13

Hidden rocks crack smiles

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A group of youth and their families have been hiding brightly colored painted rocks all around town to bring smiles to the finders.

There is currently a painted rock hiding craze across the country, said White Bear Lake resident Cari Rickman. She first heard about it when a friend of hers found a rock in Florida. Her friend discovered several Facebook pages that led her to believe the rock she found was part of a movement of people who decorate rocks and hide them for fun across the state.

Rickman discovered the movement is also popular in other states, and many of the rocks are professionally painted.

She started a Minnesota Rocks Facebook page and her children and friends began to paint rocks to hide.

“The kids right now have over 100 of them we are going to hide all over White Bear Lake,” Rickman said. They plan to hide them at elementary and middle schools, downtown and along the lake. The rocks come from Rickman's yard, where she has an overabundance of rocks for landscaping.

The goal is simply to make people smile, Rickman explained, noting many of the rocks painted by her daughter and friend were smiley faces.

“We are sharing smiles,” Rickman said her daughter told her. They have also made orange rocks with black hearts.

The finder gets to keep the rock, she added.

One hundred years ago this month Dellwood officially became a village.

It was July 14, 1917 when the 1,800-acre community along the northeast shore of White Bear Lake organized.

The area began to be settled in the early 1850s, mostly by people moving out from St. Paul, according to the city's website. The population increased

Dellwood was reorganized into a city in 1992. It is commonly recognized for the Pine Tree Apple Orchard and a soon-

BUSINESS BRIEFS Fundraiser aids animals

Annual warehouse sale

Chuck & Don's pet supplies store, headquartered in Mahtomedi, has chosen three Minnesota- and Wisconsin-based nonprofit groups as recipients of its annual Raising Awareness fundraiser. The campaign was launched in 2013 as a way for the retailer to give back to the community. Since its inception, the campaign has raised nearly $540,000. “Raising awareness is a focal point of our community giving initiatives,” said Bob Hartzell, CEO and president. “This year, we are proud to support these organizations as they all share our passion for supporting people and animals in need.”

Three groups receiving monies: PetsLoyal2Vets, which provides service dogs free of charge to veterans diagnosed with PTSD; Midwest Animal Rescue & Services, a foster-based rescue group, and Leech Lake Legacy, an animal welfare group that works with Native American communities to enrich the lives of animals. Customers support the campaign by rounding up their purchases in store or making a separate donation between now and July 31. To learn more, visit www.chuckanddons. com.

GoodThings is holding its annual warehouse sale July 27 through 29 at the White Bear Lake Armory.

Shoppers will find a large selection of unique and trendy products from all three stores: GoodThings, GoodStyle and GoodKids. Some store fixtures and displays will be included in the sale. Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, 9 am. to 6 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday. The Armory is located at 2248 Fourth St.

Restaurant remains closed The Red Lantern on Fourth Street in White Bear Lake appears closed. A sign on the door indicates the restaurant is being remodeled, but there is no activity. The stacked sake bottles dressing the windows are gone but table settings and décor remain untouched. Facebook postings went silent after mid-May; one of the last posts said the sushi bar would be closed May 3 to 9 for “redesign and renovation.” The proprietor apologized in the comment area to a few customers who complained they had made reservations only to find the place dark upon arrival. Emails to owner Wei Wang were not returned.

Improving the surfing experience Celebrating its first year in business is Swell Wakesurf, a White Bear Lake company that improves the ride for wake surf junkies. Owner Nikki Moore, a 2000 Mahtomedi grad, said wake surfing is one of the fastest-growing water sports. The product increases a boat’s wake for surfing by creating more turbulence on one side. “It’s crazy how much wake surfing has grown,” noted Moore, who sells the aftermarket device all over the world. The unit fits any make or model inboard and sells for $229. There are factory models that do the same thing, but Swell Wakesurf is serving customers with boats older than 2013, she added. The company opened its headquarters at 2330 Leibel St. last July but manufacture the device north of Alexandria. Sales of wake surfboards and equipment, as well as the device, are online. For more information, visit swellwake.com.

Graduating with debt

T

HIS IS THE time of year when attention is drawn to graduation from many different levels.

Those graduating from high school will look forward to college or a technical school and in some cases going right out into the workforce.

Some will join the military or other various kinds of public service.

In Minnesota we have 17 private colleges and in 2016 they served 57,742 students as undergraduates and graduates pursuing 145 undergraduate majors.

The private college system boasts 65 percent of students graduating in four years while 52 percent of the university About the only students graduate in four years and only 23 percent of those Town enrolled in the Minnesota state Gene Johnson universities graduate in four years.

It is interesting to note that while private college students make up 29 percent of all baccalaureate graduates in the state, they benefit from a small share, just three percent, of public spending on higher education.

Student loan debt, which now exceeds credit card debt nationally, has become a financial frustration for adults struggling to pay for education according to Elaina Johannessen, program director for Lutheran Social Service Financial Consulting.

Where are the high school counselors and fi nancial planners when families need help in understanding the cost of education, debt retirement and career opportunities that will provide adequate earnings?

Community colleges have lessened the economic impact when many students can live at home and get a couple of years of education under their belt, at which time they will likely know their career path.

When numbers don’t match up, maybe the military service should be considered. For that matter, I think our country should have a policy where both men and women serve for at least two years in our military to learn responsibilities, discipline and our national history of why the military is important to all of our freedoms.

The military teaches responsibility and brings men and women from adolescence to maturity in a much quicker time.

A PERSON WHO is appreciated will do more than expected.

SIGNS ARE FASCINATING and so are bumper stickers. Following are several that caused me to chuckle and it may help you take a lighter look at life.

• At a shoe repair store: “We will heel you! We will save your sole! We will even dye for you.”

• At an optometrist’s office: “If you don’t see what you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place.”

• On a plumber’s truck: “Don’t sleep with a drip. Call your plumber!”

• In a non-smoking area: “If we see smoke, we will assume you are on fi re and will take appropriate action.”

• At a car dealership: “The best way to get back on your feet — miss a car payment.”

• Outside a muffler shop: “No appointment necessary. We hear you coming.”

• At the electric company: “We would be delighted if you send in your payment on time.

However, if you don’t, YOU will be de-lighted.”

• In a radiator shop: “Best place in town to take a leak.”

• And the best one for last…Sign on the back of a septic tank truck: “Caution — This truck is full of political promises!”

BBB tips for choosing a roofer

F

or homeowners going through their maintenance checklist, Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) offers advice for keeping their roof in tip-top shape and information on when it might be time to consider a new roof. When you’re in the market for a new home, it’s always a good idea to ask the age of the roof of any house that you’re Movers and considering purchasing. This will Shakers tell you if you can expect Better Business reasonably to go a number Bureau of years without having to replace the roof or if you need to start to budget for a re-roofing job.

“Every homeowner knows the value – even just from a peace of mind standpoint – of a structurally sound roof above their heads,” said Dana Badgerow, president and CEO of Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota. “Obviously, a roof is a big part of any homeowner’s investment and one that needs close monitoring and maintenance.”

The average lifespan of a roof is 20-25 years, depending on a number of factors: mold or rot; cracked, torn or missing shingles; leaks and storm damage. However, whether a roof is new or old, it’s important for homeowners to perform regular maintenance. BBB

offers some tips which could help extend the life of your roof: • Clear dead or overhanging branches. Have a professional tree service evaluate the branches hanging over your roof and decide whether or not they are a risk. If the branches are dead, that increases the chance of them falling onto your roof. In addition, heavily shaded areas of your roof can retain moisture, which sometimes leads to mold. Regular trimmings of overhanging branches will help your roof dry in a uniform manner.

• Inspect for hail damage. After strong storms, especially hailstorms, have a licensed insurance adjuster or contractor inspect your roof. Dimples and cracks on the shingles are key indicators that hail damage has occurred.

• Keep your eyes and ears open and remove debris. Homeowners should inspect their roof regularly and monitor for hail damage. Ground-level inspections can be done by the homeowner.

You should also keep your gutters clear. If there’s debris that needs to be removed, either call a professional or be very cautious when getting up on your roof.

If the roof on your home is over twenty years old, it may be a good idea to solicit expert opinions – from licensed contractors – before making the decision to sign off on a re-roofing project.

To help homeowners find reliable and trustworthy roofing companies, BBB offers the following tips:

• Start with trust. Research and find dependable contractors for free at bbb.org.

• Deal with licensed and insured contractors. In Minnesota, roofers must be licensed by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) (doli. state.mn.us). Contractors in North Dakota should be registered with the ND Secretary of State’s Office (http://sos.nd.gov/). A contractor should be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, not you.

• Get everything in writing. It’s important to review the contract carefully before signing it. Contracts should include: the description of services provided, payment schedule, an estimate on when the work will commence and finish, and warranty information.

• Ask for references. Asking friends and family for references is always a good idea. You should also ask contractors for references from past customers, and follow up with them directly to learn more about recent projects the company completed.

• Request estimates. Ask for estimates from at least three different contractors. Everyone has a different budget, but don’t automatically choose the company with the lowest bid. Your roof is an integral part of your home and not a place where you want to cut corners.

The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota can be contacted at bbb.org or 651-699-1111.

The Japanese beetle blues

A

re you singing the Japanese beetle blues? Do you remember how many there were last year?

They are a serious pest of turf and ornamental plants. They fly from plant to plant, feeding on hundreds of plant varieties, including roses, hollyhocks, and linden and crabapple trees.

They damage flowers and foliage, and can eat the soft parts of leaves until just a skeleton of leaf veins remains. The skeletonized leaves are a good symptom of Japanese beetle infestation. They are not native to Minnesota, but have been here for over a decade.

Japanese beetle adults are approximately 3/8 inches long, with a dark, metallic green head and metallic dark tan wings. They have diagnostic white turfs of hair: two in the rear and five on each side. Japanese beetle larvae (grubs) are “C” shaped. Pictures of beetles and grubs, and look alike insects, are found at the link at the end of this article.

Adult Japanese beetles feed in July and August. Their average life span is 60 days. During that time, each female

lays about 60 eggs in turf. The grubs hatch soon, feed on grass roots, and

by September are almost full-sized.

They overwinter and again feed on grass roots starting in May. Adult Japanese beetles can travel large distances to feed, so even large numbers of adults do not mean there are grubs in the surrounding turf.

Grub damage to turf causes brown areas lift up easily Gardener’s that because the roots are Grapevine gone. Grubs from other insects can also damage grass; Linda Ellis identification of the type of grub is important for control.

Inspect your plants frequently. If you see a Japanese beetle, flick it into a container of soapy water, squish it, or flick it to a hard surface and step on it. Some people have reported success covering rose bushes with cheesecloth.

“If you sing the Japanese beetle blues now, perhaps next year you can learn another song.”

If Japanese beetle grubs are found in large numbers in surrounding turf, beneficial nematodes or insecticide use on young grubs in mid-July to early September is best to reduce Japanese beetle numbers next year. More information on use of nematodes and insecticides for Japanese beetle grub control is found at the link at the end of this article. Always read and follow label directions if using insecticides to control Japanese beetle grubs.

If you sing the Japanese beetle blues now, perhaps next year you can learn another song. For more information, see: http://www.extension.umn.edu/ garden/insects/fi nd/japanese-beetles/ The Anoka County Master Gardeners invite you to visit our web page http://anokamastergardeners.org/ for

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Wonderful summer outing We would like to thank the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, the White Bear Press and the White Bear Country Inn for a wonderful summer outing. In March we attended the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf’s 40th anniversary “Feed The Bear” event and were fortunate to win the historical society’s Gangster Tour.

At long last, June 30 arrived and along with 10 of our friends we boarded the tour bus with great anticipation (and bootleg merriment). We were humbled by the generosity of those who opened their homes to our group of ruffi ans and, despite the volume of chatter on the bus, we heard the stories and saw the sites that make White Bear Lake unique.

There was much to learn and we had so much fun doing so, but we did not go quietly into the annuls of gangster history. Our group was as rowdy as a post-Prohibition celebration, which all the more deepens our gratitude for Sara, her staff, as well as our hosts, Carter and Amy Johnson, who donated their time in support of the food shelf.

“We save history!” is the historical society’s motto and after the tour we had a greater appreciation for where we live and deeper commitment to saving history. The historical society is indeed one of our community’s great assets. We highly recommend the tour and its other events.

Appreciate column on aging parents This is in regard to your article on “Aging Parents” (June 28, 2017). I thoroughly enjoyed the article. I have not seen many good articles that appear to be positive on downsizing or moving into assisted living arrangements. I have been looking into senior housing for myself and going to open house events. There are many new senior developments popping up all over, but my concern is the costs. For a one-bedroom apartment, the rental rates can range from $2,800 to $3,200 a month. There are many pluses, such as a library, fitness center, fancy dining rooms, etc. There may be many seniors that have that kind of money, but I’m thinking that there are just as many who don’t.

I especially enjoyed the “Too much Stuff” section. You are so right that the kids just don’t want or appreciate the crystal goblets that were brought back from a trip to Germany. It’s almost funny when I ask my children what they want in my curio cabinet or on the shelves in the garage.

I plan to look into some of the shops that you mentioned and start to part with some of my treasures.

Thank you for your articles in the White Bear Press. They are fun to read and informative, too.

White Bear parking ticket On Thursday, June 29, I dropped off my husband for work and drove downtown to have lunch and shop. We’d planned to have dinner at one

of our favorite restaurants in White Bear Lake after my husband fi nished teaching a class at Century College. I parked my truck in a spot where the only signage instructed, “Do not park between the signs.” Several cars were parked on the street, in accordance with the signs. I did not park between the signs. There was a festival going on, but I did not see signage referring to festival parking regulations.

Less than an hour later, I returned to where I had parked my truck. It was missing. As I was looking for my truck, trying not panic, I fell on the sidewalk, breaking my arm. I returned to the festival and asked a person in a yellow vest if cars were being towed. He said, “Yes,” and I was directed to the police station. I walked the quarter-mile to the station. I didn’t know if my truck had been stolen or towed.

Several police officers were seated behind a glass wall. One of them came to the counter and said, “What’s the problem?” I inquired if a gray Nissan pickup had been towed. After looking at their computer and fi nding that it had been towed, I was handed a release form with directions to where the truck was impounded. I told the officer I was from Red Wing. I explained that I hadn’t seen any special signage about festival parking. While I was being dealt with, a second victim arrived and complained that she lived in White Bear and hadn’t heard about festival parking or seen any signs about it. Her car was also towed.

I told the officer that I had just fallen and was hurt, besides having arthritis in both knees, and asked if someone could drive me to get my truck.

“Oh no. We don’t do that,” was the reply.

In my pain and anxiety, I walked three blocks the wrong way, adding to the total of approximately a mile hike to the impound location. My bill was $101.

When I returned to Red Wing, I was treated for a fractured arm at the Urgent Care Center. My situation and my injured state and the $101 fi ne might have earned me a ride from an able-bodied police officer to retrieve my vehicle, assuming “to protect and serve” is in some way the purpose of that department.

White Bear is no longer a place where I will spend money or encourage people to visit.

‘Me thinks thou dost protest too much’ Why is Tally’s being called into question about virtually everything they try to do? When did a gathering of “fun,” “family” and “friends” become bad? Why is Tally’s, a business aimed at bringing people together to simply celebrate life

and where they live, a target for every “miseryguts” out there?

I am a loyal patron of Kowalskis, Tally’s and Acqua. I especially look forward to the summer when I can sit on the veranda at Acqua, while enjoying the music and the people having fun across the street, then go shopping at Kowalski’s.

Where else locally does a regular, laudable venue exist for the joy of anyone, irrespective of race, creed or economic status?

Who are the wretches who toil tirelessly to shove antiquated, nonsensical rules down the throats of business owners who try so hard to make our lives just that little bit less serious?

Have those who are leading the charge of complaints spent any real time at the music venues?

Or are the naysayers merely cow towing to a malevolent few who cannot bear to witness fantastic success?

Where else in the world labels a fi re hazard for people sitting by the water? Come on? Who’s kidding who? What does it matter, out in the open, how many deck chairs, stools, or wooden crates people sit on? Customers are allowed to stand but not to sit? How does that measure up for the elderly or infi rm? Why is Tally’s expected to cancel popular venues when others are allowed to conduct the self same venues? Why is Tally’s accused of not attracting the right sort of people?

What morons are judging this? Those attempting to restrict the success of this wonderful, inspiring business should be deeply ashamed.

Tally’s success is everyone’s success by association. We don’t deserve their tenacity to keep going against all odds. The naysayers should get with the fun and the positive. Wouldn’t it be lovely to encourage something wonderful to grow vs. taking all this energy to cause it to be suppressed?

Community members cool off with cones and cops WHITE BEAR LAKE — Police officers handed out free ice cream cones at West Park last Friday in an effort to beat the summer heat and spark conversations with community members.

The event was sponsored by White Bear Lake Pizza Man and Corner Malt Shop.

The “Cones with Cops” event was just one of several initiatives the White Bear Lake Police and Fire Departments have been spearheading this summer to increase community engagement.

The department will also host public safety night at Marketfest July 20. “We will have face painting, and games for adults and kids alike,” said White Bear Lake Police Department Capt. Dale Hager. “We will also highlight our public safety professionals and equipment. We invite you all out for a conversation or just for good food and fun.”

On Aug. 12, the department will host an arts event to decorate the inside of its public safety building.

“We are partnering with a nonprofit organization, Paint*Your*Story (www. nycfry.com) to give young people in our community an opportunity to create artwork related to their impressions of

public safety, and to have it showcased on our walls,” Hager noted.

From 1 to 2:30 p.m. children will have the opportunity to create a piece of art and donate it to the department for display. There will also be a tour of the building and a fire truck and police car for the youth to look at.

A community art project will be held

3 to 4 p.m. To register, visit http://www. nycfry.com/wbl-paintyourstory/.

Earlier this summer, the department sponsored a bike rodeo for kids and held a “Cops and Donuts” event with donated donuts, coffee and juice at the White Bear Lake farmers market.

“The White Bear Lake Police and Fire Departments have doubled our efforts

to reach members of our community in order to build and strengthen relationships, partnerships and communication between our police and fire officials and the neighborhoods we serve,” Hager said. “Routinely, we take advantage of opportunities to create a dialogue with the community we serve by providing materials and facilitating programs to educate and increase awareness about safety and security.”

The department also graduated 15 new members of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) earlier this year.

Public safety employees have also been involved in fundraising events — several participated in the White Bear Lake Polar Plunge, and police officers ran and biked in the Law Enforcement Torch Run, which benefits Minnesota Special Olympics.

“Additionally, we attended a public safety luncheon at the Lodge Senior Living Center and held a business crime prevention/partnership meeting in May,” Hager added.

For those interested in participating in upcoming public safety events, contact Hager at 651-429-8511.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:

Vadnais Heights • The owner of a 2007 Toyota 4Runner, whose vehicle was left in the lot of a business in the 900 block of Berwood Avenue over the July 4 weekend, found his vehicle in the air with all four wheels, tires, even the wheel covers missing. The loss was estimated at $2,000.

• From the “They’ll steal anything department” comes the tale of the pile of non-metal construction debris reported stolen July 5 in the 500 block of Westfield Lane.

If the thief would part with contact information, they could be informed of when there will be more debris available.

• Leaving your car key in your vehicle might be convenient for you but it’s also convenient for a thief. The stolen 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix was spotted by Roseville Police then pulled over by a Minnesota State Trooper at Hwy. 36 and Century Avenue. Stolen on July 6, the vehicle was recovered on the 10th. The 37-year-old local driver was jailed on a felony auto theft charge.

• Three young stylin’ dudes, no doubt wanting to get an early start on wrecking their health, grabbed fistfuls of Swisher Sweet cigars the afternoon of July 6 at Super America in the 1000 block of County Road E while the clerk was in the back room, and made tracks. An investigation continues.

• A 78-year-old man was found deceased late the night of July 7 at a home in the 3500 block of Edgerton Street by a family member. The county medical examiner determined that the man died of natural causes.

• A pair of juvenile males were introduced to an ordinance against theft by Loss Prevention July 7 at WalMart when they attempted to walk out of the store with two bags of Lifesavers valued at a total of $3.96.

The matter was turned over to the county attorney’s office.

• Deputies responded to a 911 domestic assault call July 8 at an apartment in the 1000 block of County Road D. Things had cooled off by the time deputies arrived, but further investigation revealed that the man involved was wanted on a Hennepin County warrant for his arrest for false information to police. That earned the 20 year old a trip to the Ramsey County Jail.

• A 20-year-old female came all the way from Inver Grove Heights July 9 to assault a 35-year-old local female during an overnight stay at a County Road D apartment. The younger woman, who was charged with the assault, was also followed by a warrant for her arrest for theft, which sealed her temporary fate at the county jail.

• The 2008 Chevrolet Aveo was easy pickings for the thief after it was left July 9 in a parking lot in the 100 block of Suzanne Court, unlocked, with the keys inside. No recovery to date.

• A 44-year-old St. Paul man was charged with theft after he selected $88.42 worth of items from the shelves at WalMart on July 10, then attempted to “return” them for a refund.

• A 2004 Chevy Silverado pickup went missing July 10 from a dealer lot in the 3400 block of Hwy. 61 and has not been seen since.

• In an odd sequence of events, a pair of juvenile males filled a WalMart cart with items July 10, got past the

checkout stations without paying, got into a vehicle, driving off, and leaving the cart filled with items in the parking lot.

White Bear Township • People on Hammond Road reported an “injured hawk or falcon” under pine trees in the 1300 block the afternoon of July 5. Calls to the University of Minnesota Raptor Center were not successful, possibly due to the holiday. The bird was seen again on July 8, a block away on a bench near a playground, apparently wearing a tag and allowing people to approach. An investigation continues.

• A black Lab that spends time in a fenced yard on Fisher Court likes to visit, and bark, at a neighbor. That was brought to the attention of county animal control July 6 who spoke to the Fisher Court owner. Seems the agile Lab is able to scale its Fisher Court fence to freedom.

Its owner assured an animal control officer that a higher fence is planned.

• Deputies responded to the 1600 block of County Road H2 July 7 on a report of a domestic dispute. Roommates, a 31-year-old male and a 29-year-old female, admitted to a falling out, but said now everything was fine. No charges were filed.

• A traffic violator on a motorcycle was pursued by deputies July 7 in the area of Otter Lake Road and County Road J until the chase was called off for public safety reasons. The 52-year-old suspect was identified through the state DMV and arrested at his White Bear Lake home on July 12 and booked into jail on a charge of felony fleeing police.

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:

Birchwood • Cash was reported missing from a residence in the 10 block of White Pine Lane after the complainant woke up for the day at 5:50 a.m. June 25 and found an empty wallet. Access to the residence was gained from a garage door opener found in an unlocked vehicle parked in the driveway. Other items are also missing.

Dellwood • A Mahtomedi man, 72, was cited June 27 on Dellwood Avenue and Dellwood Road for expired registration.

• A Mahtomedi youth, 18, was cited at 2:43 a.m. June 23 on Mahtomedi Avenue and Fir Street for possessing drug paraphernalia and marijuana in a motor vehicle after being pulled over for unlit headlights.

• A resident in the 300 block of 69th Street N. at 12:49 a.m. June 24 reported someone shooting paintballs at his front door and car.

• A Richfield man, 25, was arrested at 12:53 a.m. June 25 on Stillwater Road

• A resident in the process of moving reported a safe containing $1,000 and important documents taken June 25 from the 700 block of Sterling Court, possibly by the company he hired to move household items.

• A Mahtomedi woman, 22, was cited at 12:29 a.m. June 26 on Warner Avenue N. and Stillwater Road for driving after suspension, driving without headlights and failure to provide proof of insurance, after being pulled over for a lack of headlights in the early morning hours.

• Mahtomedi city staff reported damage to the front door of City Hall in the 600 block of Stillwater Road by a large rock apparently thrown at it overnight June 26-27.

• Employees of the Liquor Barrel in the 3100 block of Century Avenue N. reported a male camping under a delivery truck June 27. After deputies persuaded the man to pack up and leave, he told them, “I won't stay around this place anymore!”

Pine Springs • A St. Paul man, 64, was arrested at 1:27 a.m. June 28 on Hilton Trail N. and 65th Street N. for second-degree DWI after deputies conducted a random computer check and pulled him over for driving after revocation due to numerous traffic violations and tabs that expired six months ago. While interviewing the subject, deputies detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from him.

Career pathways: Building a solid future

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

LITTLE CANADA — A man wearing a navy blue button-down shirt sporting the logo from an International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC) convention was having a heart-to-heart conversation with a couple dozen students from White Bear Lake and North Minneapolis.

“You can do anything you want to do — you just have to want to do it,” said Jeff Burns, the regional apprenticeship coordinator for IUEC Local 9, standing in a room where pieces of building elevators are welded together.

Burns' union was offering career training in the trades to the students in partnership with the Minnesota Trades Academy, a paid summer program offered to students from St. Paul, Minneapolis and White Bear Lake.

Twelve students from White Bear Lake — 11 from the Area Learning Center (ALC) and one resident who attends another school — took part in the nine-week paid program to discover possible future careers. Participation in the academy is an extension of the district's construction career pathways program, launched at ALC two years ago.

“I think this program has really opened up their eyes to new possibilities,” said ALC teacher Tim McGraw, who has had most of the students in his construction classes. “It's like giving these kids a new kind of hope for their lives.” McGraw said students he was not able to engage in the classroom back at the school are now “wide awake” seeing how the trades work in the real world.

“I see them spark,” said Sarah Lechowich, associate project manager. The Minnesota Trades Academy was launched last summer by the St. Paul Building and Trades Council as a collaborative effort between trades employers and school districts to interest the next generation in trades careers. It was funded through state legislation.

“It's a way to reach out to bring up the awareness of trades,” Lechowich said, noting that in the next years there will be many job openings in the skilled trades. The program has two tracks — a six-week introductory overview to the trades and a nine-week advanced track for those planning to choose a construction career path.

There are six groups traveling between various locations. Trades explored include bricklaying, tiling, sandblasting, painting, sheetrocking and working with sheet metal.

The White Bear Lake students are paid through Ramsey County's U LEAD summer program, said ALC Principal Gretchen Harriman. St. Paul and Minneapolis students are paid through other programs. Students are paid $9.50/hour in the introductory track and $10.50/hour in the advanced track.

“You get paid to learn,” said 2017 ALC graduate Bailey Haglund, one of two students who participated in the pilot program last summer. “You can't beat it, really.”

But they could make a whole lot more money if they fi nd a trade they love and join a union. White Bear Lake senior James Mahmood said he is considering becoming a bricklayer after visiting Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local Union 1.

He could be paid up to $56 an hour including pension, he said. His take-home wage would be $33/ hour and there are good benefits, he added.

Bailey Haglund, Levi Green, James Mahmood and Aryanna Miller, students from White Bear Lake, learn what it might be like to work at the local International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC) in Little Canada, where over 20 trades skills are needed, according to Jeff Burns, the union’s regional apprenticeship coordinator, at right.

SUBMITTED

White Bear Lake Area Learning Center 2017 graduates Bailey Haglund and Aryanna Miller practice laying tile at Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers in New Hope during the Minnesota Trades Academy.

In fact, all of the locations the students had visited so far offered a journeyman (a worker three to five years into his career who has fi nished an apprenticeship) a take-home wage of about $33 to $39, students said.

And many of the positions offer workers free or reimbursed classes as they learn while they work, they noted.

Haglund said he is considering pipefitting as a career because he likes heights and thinks it would be fun to weld up on a boom lift. Senior Colton Blue said he is considering drywalling because he found it fun, easy, relaxing and therapeutic and because he could “get dirty.”

Graduate Aryanna Miller and North Minneapolis student Kajai Davis — the only girls in their group — said they both liked working with sheet metal. They both won an award for making the best toolboxes, they noted. North Minneapolis student Anthony Washington said he liked roofing because he likes heights; Jamel Davis said he liked working on insulation because he likes working with his hands.

“These kids are my future,” Burns noted of his desire to be involved in the Minnesota Trades Academy and inspire the next generation of elevator builders. He was teaching the students application, aptitude test and interview skills.

His trade is one of the toughest to get into, he added, so what he teaches them should help them pursue any trade.

The Minnesota Trades Academy is also open to students from White Bear Lake Area High School, although no students participated this summer, said Jill Pearson, teaching and learning coordinator.

The construction career pathways program began at ALC about two years ago and the district plans to expand it to the high school in the future, perhaps during the 2018-2019 school year, Pearson added.

ALC currently offers three classes that are part of the industry-approved multicraft core curriculum — intro to trades, construction II and health in the trades, said Harriman, who has been principal for five years. Students have the opportunity to become OSHA 10 certified, she added. They also go on field trips to various trades sites.

ALC is also launching a 16-credit welding certificate in partnership with Century College this school year, Harriman added. Students have been using the district's new welding simulator in their construction classroom, which is fi lled with a variety of other tools.

The construction pathways program is one of four career pathways programs developed by the district in response to the Legislature's 2013 World's Best Workforce Bill, Pearson said. The manufacturing career pathway program also began about two years ago. IT launched last year and health care launched this year.

Editor's note: This is part four of a four-part series on the four career pathways programs in White Bear Lake Area Schools: construction, health care, IT and manufacturing. Students are participating in programs with local businesses throughout the summer while exploring their future careers.

VANDALISM: Senseless and expensive FROM PAGE 1A

advice of an outdoorsman on staff who suggested using the motion-activated cameras, which take photos of wild game crossing a trail in the woods.

If the city gets a decent photo, the plan is to post it on social media to ask for help identifying the person(s). “Someone will get famous and we’ll fi nd out who they are,” Burch said.

Graffiti is another problem, particularly at the Manitou Island bridge and downtown buildings.

“Both public and private property is being defaced and destroyed,” noted Burch. “The public loses out too, because we have to close these facilities.

Restrooms are closed and that is demoralizing. It’s very frustrating.”

He urges citizens to call the police department if they see youth congregating suspiciously or they see something that doesn’t look right.

“We are thinking about offering a reward,” he added. “We want to catch these people.”

YARD IMPROVEMENTS WHAT TO DO…OR NOT – Some things to consider when determining where to plant your garden, install a shed or add retaining walls, etc., is that these areas are designed to hold a predetermined amount of water. Adding structures or altering the areas with fill, including yard waste will change the holding capacity & the flow path of the water in a drainage area. Allowing vegetation to grow in the drainage & utility easements or buffers can provide additional water holding capacity since the plants will soak up more water, keeping the water from encroaching into your yard. The vegetation also treats the pollutants coming off the streets & your property & also aids in controlling algae growth.

Also, if structures or plantings are located in the easement area around your property & access is needed by the Township for maintenance, you will be notified by mail of the need to remove the structures or plantings within a certain time frame to avoid removal by the Township.

Replacement of these items is the responsibility of the homeowner.

BIKE RODEO – RESCHEDULED TO THURSDAY, JULY 27TH – The rescheduled bike rodeo event hosted by the City of Shoreview & conducted by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office will take place from 8 am – 11 am at Island Lake Park, 3611 North Victoria Street.

SPORTS CENTER: Decision to move forward coming at July 25 City Council meeting FROM PAGE 1A

The council will vote yea or nay July 25 on funding the project and proceeding to the final design phase. The timeline is tight to keep the project on track for an April 1 construction start.

Efforts to trim costs from a start value of $5.7 million to $5.1 million were outlined by City Engineer Mark Burch for the council: • Bleacher seating was downsized from 750 to 400, which is the current capacity, and would save $75,000.

• A $20,000 memory wall was another amenity recommended for the chopping block as a potential cost savings.

• The big ticket savings was use of corrugated metal panels for exterior walls in lieu of insulated metal panels. That would save $177,400.

Totaled, those items amount to $272,400.

Asked by Councilman Kevin Edberg what the hockey association desires for amenities, WBLAHA President Kevin McFarlane said he doesn’t want the memory wall to go away.

“A dedication wall means a lot to me,” said McFarlane, who

grew up in the youth hockey program. “As for the interior, I want people to know who they’re playing when they walk into the Sports Center. I want it to be loud; orange and black.

We as an organization can fund those things.”

McFarlane told the council the hockey association’s board of directors would be meeting

to discuss going higher with its pledge of support.

“The association is at the point where we need the renovation for one rink. It’s forcing our hand,” he said. “We desperately need a second sheet but I don’t expect the city to pay for that.”

The youth program is growing, McFarlane added. There

are 600 youth age 10 and younger with expectations to grow to 1,000.

Edberg asked Finance Director Don Rambow if the larger cost estimate was still inside the city’s capacity to pay.

“If it was split 50-50, we could support the additional cost,” Rambow replied. There would be some shifting of internal

loans that wouldn’t be repaid if the city antes up for the project.

Councilman Dan Jones said he is comfortable supporting the 50-50 arrangement but not the additional $385,000 for a second sheet.

“Maybe I’m the big spender here,” admitted Councilman Bill Walsh, “but we would be penny wise and pound foolish not to support a second sheet.”

Asking the hockey association to pay the $2 million plus the $385,000 for a second sheet was proposed by Walsh, who also praised the city for “doing the project the right way.”

Walsh compared White Bear with Eden Prairie, which “builds Taj Mahals that its citizens can’t afford.”

McFarlane feels the city’s “ask” is feasible. He planned to meet with a banker to see what the association’s options are in terms of financing.

“We just need to know if we get zero dollars from fundraising or the community, can we service the debt. It’s a lot for a youth organization. I do think things are moving along nicely.

I’m confident we’ll get the renovation done and sized for a future second rink.”

Great news for Auger family

“We have concluded that it is not easy being a chick on White Bear Lake. This has been a particularly challenging summer with an abundance of predators; high winds and huge waves; and increased boat traffic. We hope that there is a Loon heaven.”

Loon Chronicles II: Next Generation From Birchwood photographer Ellen Maas: “During the last week, Len and I scoured White Bear Lake, hours at a time, looking for our beloved chicks. We put on our Loon thinking caps and checked every nook and cranny, including spending time in the bulrushes. The chicks are nowhere to be found and we fear the worst. There are so many predators on the lake, including our newest visitor, the golden eagle, recently spotted fighting with a pair of bald eagles on the Birchwood shore. WBL has not been easy for small chicks of any breed. We have witnessed the new wood duck and mallard families grow smaller in number with each passing day. In addition to all of the eagles, hawks and osprey continue to feast on what the lake has to offer. The bulrushes have their own dangers including muskrats and turtles. Boat traffic has been fast and furious, as well. Finally, the winds have been high and the waves huge. Spotting chicks in the waves is a challenge from the boat. We can only imagine how difficult it must be for Loon parents to keep an eye on their bobbing chicks while diving for fish at the same time. The Loon family made their “crossing” out of the safety of the bulrushes far too early. We suspect that they may have been blown off course by the high winds. We last saw the family trying to navigate the waves near the marina, just on the edge of one of the water ski courses. Our fingers remain crossed that the Loon family has outsmarted us all and will reappear on their own terms. We will continue our search, but with a heavy heart.”

You’ve always said you wouldn’t be caught dead in that dress.

You’d better tell them now.

A Caring Bridge entry by the family of Paul Auger July 12 offered good news: He walks!

Daughter Allison Auger gave the OK to share the glad tidings reported on their Caring Bridge site, nicknamed Augies Doggies.

Six months after contracting Guillain Barre Syndrome, a disease that left Auger paralyzed and incapacitated, the former White Bear Lake mayor is walking with help from a special walker and a therapist hanging on to his belt.

“To say we were emotional is an understatement,” Allison said. “This is so incredible that he is progressing. I’m not sure any of us were confident this day would come.”

The journal entry goes on to say after months of “too many ups and downs to count,” the family has learned profound lessons through the experience and thanks all the “prayer warriors” for their support.

“Dad stands today and continues to heal because you helped us stand when we couldn’t. God bless everyone for all you have done for our family.”

Auger will spend another six weeks at the Courage Center to continue his therapy with the hope he’ll be home by Labor Day. Debra Neutkens

COMMUNITY BRIEFS License Bureau closed for few days

Night to Unite in White Bear Lake

The White Bear Lake License Bureau will be closed Thursday, July 20 thru Saturday, July 22 as the State of Minnesota implements the new Minnesota Licensing and Registration System (MNLARS). The office will re-open Monday, July 24 to assist customers with licensing and registration needs.

The State of Minnesota’s MNLARS project has been a multi-year initiative to replace the Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) mainframe information system that has been in place for 30 years. The MNLARS system is a secure webbased program that will maintain records for driver’s licenses, identification cards, vehicle registrations and ownership transactions used in our License Bureau’s daily work.

As part of Night to Unite, city departments are encouraging neighborhoods to celebrate the occasion in White Bear Lake on Tuesday, Aug. 1.

Night to Unite is designed for people to get to know their neighbors, boost community involvement and build partnerships by bringing police and citizens together. It also brings awareness to crime prevention and local law enforcement efforts.

Each neighborhood decides how they want to celebrate Night to Unite. Gatherings can be as elaborate or as simple as you like — block parties, ice cream socials, live music, parades, kids’ games, potlucks, pizza parties, and barbecues.

Registered gatherings will be visited by the Police Department, the Fire Department, elected officials and other city staff.

The benefits derived from Night to Unite will most certainly extend well beyond the night. For more information, or to sign up your neighborhood, please contact Carrie Varco at 651-429-8511 or cvarco@whitebearlake.org.

Hire a veteran Gov. Mark Dayton has proclaimed July as “Hire a Veteran Month.” Minnesota is home to nearly 370,000 veterans who are a critical part of the workforce, said a release from the governor’s office. The proclamation coincided with the Minnesota Veterans Career Fair, which seeks to connect veterans and military service members with employment opportunities. Resources for veteran job seekers include: DEED (Department of Employment and Economic Development) Veterans Services; Minnesota Workforce Centers; Minnesota Works, a site facilitated by DEED; Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs and Yellow Ribbon Company Program. All have websites that explain the services.

Young Adult NAMI Connection is a free support group for teens aged 16-20. A group meets in White Bear Lake from 7-8:30 p.m. on the fi rst and third Thursdays of the month at the dental office of Dr. Crandall & Associates, 2300 East Highway 96. The group is facilitated by young adults living with a mental illness and doing well in recovery.

Hockey sisters headed for Olympics — for USA and South Korea

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

When the 2018 Winter Olympic Games unfold next February in South Korea, one of the compelling “up close and personal” stories to emerge might well be about two sisters from Vadnais Heights.

Hannah Brandt, 23, the Minnesota Gophers all-time scoring leader, was recently named to the USA squad, and Marissa Brandt, 24, who played for Gustavus Adolphus, will play for the country of her birth, South Korea.

“All of my experiences in hockey I will never take for granted, and they all mean so much to me,” reflected Hannah, who has won three national championships with the Gophers and three world tournaments with USA national teams.

“This would just be another amazing experience and is something that has always been a dream of mine.”

About sharing the experience with Marissa, she added, “I never could have imagined that my sister and I would both be playing in the Olympics together, so that is just icing on the cake, and makes it all even sweeter.”

The inclusion of the former St. Odilia School and Hill-Murray High School students on Olympic rosters is no surprise, as each played for their respective national teams that won International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) championships three months ago.

Hannah and Team USA beat Canada 3-2 in the finals of the top-tier tournament in Plymouth, Michigan, on April 8, and she stayed up until 3 a.m. to watch Marissa’s team beat the Netherlands 2-0 in the finals of the Division II, Group A tournament in South Korea.

“They seem to get better and better each time I’ve seen them play. They always compete super hard and never give up on plays,” said Hannah when asked for a scouting report on her sister’s team.

Marissa, currently in South Korea training, called that victory “a great boost going forward to Pyeongchang.” She assessed: “Every time I come back here they get better and better. Off ice workouts have gotten harder and the girls have gotten much stronger.”

The sibs have been featured in both Twin Cities metropolitan dailies, one of which came up with the catchy title “Seoul Sisters,” and are likely to attract NBC’s attention as well next February, especially if somehow the USA is matched with South Korea. They were already featured on NBC’s sports website in early May. The last time Hannah and Marissa were on the same ice in a game was the 2011 state tournament. Marissa scored two goals and Hannah another as Hill-Murray opened with a 4-3 win over Lakeville South. The Pioneers lost their next two games and finished fourth, with Hannah scoring twice in an overtime loss in the third-place game. They played youth hockey together in White Bear Lake starting with the U10 teams.

“That was the first time ever that Hill- Murray had gone (to state), and I was so fortunate to share that experience with my sister,” Marissa said. “Especially with that being our last time playing with each other on what we thought was the biggest stage.”

Hannah punctured the nets for 192 goals in five years for Hill-Murray, 59 of them her senior year, earning the 2012 Miss Hockey award. She then rattled off 115 goals and 170 assists for a record 285 points in four seasons with the U of M, helping the Gophers win three NCAA championships.

She was disappointed to not make Team USA for the 2014 Olympics in Russia but has won golds with Team USA in 2011 (under-18), 2015 and 2017 and will now get her shot at the Olympics.

Marissa, who is married to a fellow Gustie athlete, Brett Ylonen, played in 111 games as a defenseman at Gustavus Adolphus, logging 13 goals and 21 assists.

She was part of three MIAC champion teams and twice

reached the NCAA Division III semifinals.

South Korea’s hockey program has been weak in the past, but the nation invested $20 million to build it up for the Olympics they’ll be hosting. By scanning American college rosters for players of Korean descent, they picked up five of their players including Marissa. Their head coach is Sarah Murray, former Minnesota-Duluth player and daughter of Andy Murray, former NHL coach (Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues).

Marissa was 4 1/2 months old when she arrived in America, adopted by Greg and Robin Brandt. The Vadnais Heights couple had been childless for 12 years of marriage, but learned Robin was pregnant shortly after the adoption, and suddenly had two daughters a year apart. By early elementary school, hockey was their shared passion.

Marissa showed little interest in her native country before being invited to try out for the national hockey team. Since then she has made several trips back and forth for hockey and found herself embracing her native culture. She has chosen to use her birth name, Park Yoon-Jung, while playing.

Team USA, coached by former Gopher goaltender Robb Stauber, will be based in Tampa, beginning in September, with players living and training together until leaving for Pyeongchang. They will host the Four Nations Cup in November and play a series of games against its chief rival, Canada, before the Olympics.

South Korea, meanwhile, will tour the U.S. in preparation for the Olympics including a Sept. 24 game against the Gophers.

Asked if there’s much chance they’ll oppose each other on the ice in Pyeongchang, Marissa said, “It is possible but probably unlikely. My team will have to make a lot of upsets. But you never know, maybe we will surprise everyone.”

Handy aids to improve your golf game There are three ways people learn a skill: visual, auditory and kinesthetic.

Obviously visual learners have to see the skill being performed, auditory folks need to have it Tee Time verbally explained to them and kinesthetic Betsy learners have to do it themselves and feel Larey the movement. You will be very strong in one, with another style not far behind. The third might as well be Greek.

Prior to the 1970s, the most common learning styles were auditory and kinesthetic. Think of that in terms of golf. If you look at old clips of Arnie Palmer and Lee Trevino, you wonder how they played as well as they did. A lot of good players in that era didn’t have formal golf instruction. Their goal was to get the ball in the hole. How pretty it looked was irrelevant.

Fast forward to today’s environment and you’d be hard pressed to fi nd anyone under 30 who isn’t predominantly visual. I personally think that’s because many are glued to their screens and mobile apps. Almost everyone works with a computer in some way, so it’s almost by default. I use video all the time, and players really appreciate “seeing “ it.

Take a minute and think about how you learn a new skill. Very few people really understand this concept. But if you are trying to improve your golf game, you need to know which one works best for you.

I’m a fan of training aids as a way to teach and learn. They’re great for kinesthetic and visual learners.

Here are some favorites I’ve used for myself and my clients. Most of these can be found at golftrainingaids. com. Some are expensive, some are cheap and the “doityourselfers” are free.

The Formed Grip. The best $9 you’ll ever spend. Very few people have a great grip. This forces you to.

Take it to a golf shop and have them put it on your 7 or 8 iron. And practice with this until it becomes your automatic grip for all your clubs.

The Foot Wedge. $17. This prevents you from swaying in your backswing. If you sway back, you’ll have to slide through on your for-

awesome to teach players of all ages and abilities what tempo and weight transfer should feel like. The best warm up club I know.

Swingyde $30. The hardest thing to teach is the correct swing plane.

This does just that. It also helps with over hingeing at the top of the backswing, and helps prevent an early release on the forward swing. Easy to install and fits in your bag. I use this one a lot.

The Golf Slot Machine $60. I’ve only used it once but I like it. Another path and angle of approach aid.

The Chiliwacker. $150. This was invented by local PGA Teaching Pro Eric Chiles. It’s not well known yet, but a lot of people I know are using it. It teaches correct swing plane on backswing and forward swing, and also correct angle of approach.

If you’re a “caster” from the top, you’ll tire quickly of hitting the foam rollers ( think swim noodles ). You’ll learn quickly what coming down from the inside means! It’s adjustable, so you can make it wide for beginners and narrow for single digit players. Go to Chiliwacker.com to order directly.

So if you’re looking for a way to improve your golf swing, I’d give any of these training aids a try. All except the Chiliwacker can be purchased at www.golftrainingaids.com.

She has taught at the PGA Tour Academy in St. Augustine, Fla., and is available for lessons at Keller Golf Course in St. Paul and Shadow Ridge in Lino Lakes.

The Chiliwacker is a great golf training aid that helps golfers understand their correct swing plane and angle of approach to the ball. It can be widened or narrowed depending on the level of the golfer. www.chiliwacker.com for more information.

ward swing. The cheap version: Put a ball under the outside of your right instep.

The Bickler. $20. It’s being sold as a putting aid, but I’ve used it for years to teach chipping. It prevents you from flipping your right wrist through impact.

Alignment Rods. $4. Free version. Cut the clubhead off of an old driver. Use to check your stance, put one as an extension of your stance (off your right foot ) and practice your takeaway. Do not bring the clubhead inside that line on your backswing.

Assist Swing Trainer. $80.

Spendy but worth every penny. It has a formed grip on it with a funky weighted head. The biggest thing, in my mind, is it allows you to feel what the correct clubhead release is through impact. It also helps with weight transfer and tempo.

The Orange Whip. $100. I know the guy who invented this and he was very smart to spend the money on a good patent lawyer. Others may claim to have a similar product but nothing compares to this. It’s just

Two Bear captains set for Southwest Minnesota State

The White Bear Lake Legion baseball team is hosting most of the SubState 8 playoffs which began Tuesday and will conclude Saturday.

White Bear Lake was seeded No. 5 and hosted No. 4 Lino Lakes (Centennial) on Tuesday. The winner plays Wednesday, 8 p.m., most likely against top-seeded Tri-City Red (Mounds View), at CHS Field, home of the St. Paul Saints.

The rest of the double-elimination tournament will be played at White Bear Lake’s high school field, each day through Saturday, when fi nals are slated for noon, with a second game to follow if needed.

Two White Bear Lake team captains have signed with Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall.

Gage Johnson, a 2016 graduate, will compete in track-and-field for the Mustangs, announced coach Dan Allen. His events are hurdles and triple jump.

Gabby Potthoff, a 2017 graduate, will play tennis for the Mustangs, announced coach Adam Henning.

He praised Potthoff’s “strong athletic frame,” aggressiveness, and intelligence for playing doubles.

Coach reaches Hall of Fame Longtime White Bear Lake cross-country coach Patti Percival will be inducted into the Cross Country Coaches Hall of Fame. The event is July 31 at Eastview High School in Apple Valley. Percival, who lives in Stillwater, has been coaching track and field and cross country for 26 years; 14 of them at White Bear Lake; seven at Mounds View and five years as an assistant volunteer coach at the U of M. She was section cross country coach of the year nine times and coached the section champions seven times at White Bear Lake and five times at Mounds View and coached the conference champs eight times, three of those at White Bear. The coach has

taken teams to state 13 times. The induction caps off a great year for Percival who was also awarded the “Breaking Barriers” award by the Minnesota Coalition of Women in Athletic Leadership in 2017.

Immigrant nation: Becoming a U.S. citizen

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

SHOREVIEW — The judge presiding over the citizenship of 28 new Americans in the Shoreview library community room wanted to know where Togo is.

“West Africa,” declared a spectator in the audience.

“Okay, welcome aboard,” U.S. District Court Judge Donald Alsop told three new citizens presented to him

by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Officer Bill Malone at a naturalization ceremony at the Shoreview library July 6. The three immigrated from Togo.

Alsop preceded to administer the oath of allegiance as 28 immigrants from 18 different countries became U.S. citizens — they originally came from Burma, Cameroon, China, Ethiopia, France, India, Kenya, Laos, Moldova, Russia, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Togo, Tunisia, the United Kingdom and Vietnam.

The journey to becoming a citizen is as varied as each individual.

George Lifteniuc came from Moldova to visit family six years ago. After his wife suffered a stroke they decided to stay because it would be difficult to return.

He now lives in Anoka. His wife is also in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen.

Abdi Yusuf, of St. Paul, came to the U.S. as a refugee five years ago due to the civil war in Somalia. “I am very proud,” Yusuf said after receiving his certificate of citizenship.

Kouchia Lochungvu, of Roseville, immigrated with her family from France when she was 15. Nine years later, her life in America became fully official.

Arvind Mozumdar, of Savage, came to the U.S. 10 years ago on a work visa. As he was preparing to return to India, he met Julia, who is now his wife. He proceeded to get his green card, which took four years, and then waited three years to apply for citizenship.

The process includes lots of questions, background checks and a test, he said.

“It is a relief that the long process is over,” he added.

Arvind and Julia, who have a young toddler, are also excited they can now travel freely with three American passports. They recently canceled a trip to Iceland because the wait for the naturalization ceremony took

“When you take the oath of allegiance you will have the responsibility to participate in our politics and become part of our ever-changing culture.”

Charlton Dietz St. Paul Attorney three months instead of the expected one month. If Arvind had left the country, he would have been set back in the citizenship process two years, Julia said.

Julia, who grew up in Wisconsin, said that through the process she learned a lot about immigration that most Americans born into citizenship don’t know.

Arvind had to travel back to India to renew his work visa at the American Consulate in order to stay in the country.

“You used to be able to go to Canada, but are now required to go to your country of origin,” Julia explained. “If you don’t have the money to go back to your homeland and wait two weeks for the American Consulate to stamp the stamp you need, then all of a sudden you are out of line and it is illegal to be here.

There was a lot of steps like that I don’t think Americans know.”

Even moving homes or getting married at the “wrong time” could cause the path to citizenship to become a longer journey than intended, she said.

“To get to this point is such a precarious, fantastic, expensive, time-consuming thing,” Julia noted.

“It still has to settle in,” Arvind added.

Shoreview welcomes new Americans The 28 new Americans took their oath of allegiance at the new Shoreview library at the invitation of the Shoreview Human Rights Commission, which wants the city to be a welcoming beacon.

Lisa Wedell Ueki, who has been on the commission four years, said she proposed the idea as a great way to use the community room at the new library, which opened in January. Library Manager Carol Jackson

jumped on board. City staff reached out to the court about hosting the naturalization ceremony, Wedell Ueki said.

As the ceremony began, the words of Emma Lazarus inscribed on the Statue of Liberty flashed across the screen: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

“We are a city that strives to be welcoming to all,” said Shoreview Mayor Sandy Martin after the new citizens took the oath. “We are very excited this ceremony took place in Shoreview.”

St. Paul Attorney Charlton Dietz, a descendant of German immigrants who arrived in the 1950s, also welcomed the new Americans.

North Campus principal moves to South Campus White Bear Lake Area High School-South Campus will start off next school year with a new principal — from North Campus.

Don Bosch replaces former South Campus principal Tim Wald, who became assistant superintendent of fi nance and operations July 1.

Bosch has served as principal at White Bear Lake Area High School-North Campus since 2009. Prior to that, Bosch served in assistant principal and activities director roles at Forest Lake Area High School. Early in his career, he taught mathematics in the Anoka-Hennepin School District and in the Kern School District in California.

During his time in White Bear, he has led new

and challenging initiatives such as the North Campus Promise Fellows program, 9th Grade Academy and Equal Opportunity Schools.

"Among his many leadership qualities is Mr. Bosch's solid reputation among staff members, students and parents as a building leader who makes it a point to be present," said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak. "We look forward to him bringing this value and his many other valuable skills to our South Campus."

The district has not yet announced a new North Campus principal.

From press release

SUBMITTED

Principal Don Bosch will transition from North Campus to South Campus this summer.

District planning to ask for levy renewal

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The White Bear Lake Area Schools School Board approved fi nal preparations for an operating levy renewal to be on the ballot this fall at a June 10 meeting.

The board is expected to make a final decision to place it on the ballot at its Aug. 15 meeting, said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak. The levy renewal would be for $1,500 per student for 10 years, with an annual infl ationary adjustment.

The amount is a renewal of the existing operating levy, with no additional tax increase. The proposed levy would maintain the annually adjusted inflation factor as determined by the Minnesota Department of Education.

“Local operating levies are an essential source of revenue for Minnesota schools, as more than 99 percent of the state’s school districts receive operating levy referendum revenue,” the district noted in board documents. “The communities that

comprise White Bear Lake Area Schools have supported this source of funding in the past.”

The current levy was passed in 2007 with 63 percent of voter support and it was renewed in 2011 with 73 percent support.

The levy would expire in 2018 if not renewed.

In other action the board: • Approved the district's 10-year long-term facility maintenance plan. The plan begins with spending about $6 million in 2017 and ends with spending about $2 million in 2027, according to district documents. Building hardware and mechanical system updates needed this year contribute to the higher spending, which is expected to decrease in ensuing years.

The plan assumes the issuance of $15 million in LTFM (long-term facilities maintenance) revenue program bonds and a phase-in of pay-as-you-go funding.

• Designated Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak and Jody Reber, executive assistant to the superintendent, as White Bear Lake Area

Schools’ identified official with authority with access to Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) secure systems as required by the MDE. • Approved renewal of the district's membership in the Minnesota State High School League.

• Designated official bank accounts and authorized certain staff to access accounts between July and January. The district holds accounts with US Bank, Associated Bank and Bremer Bank.

• Designated new Director of Human Resources Mitch Cooper as the district human rights officer, in compliance with the MDE. Previous director Linda Goers is retiring this month.

• Approved a 2 percent salary increase for about 50 employees not associated with any bargaining groups.

• Approved a 2 percent salary increase for 2017 to 2018 contracts with members of the superintendent’s cabinet. The cabinet includes the following positions: assistant superintendent for

fi nance and operations (currently Tim Wald, $157,500), assistant superintendent for teaching and learning (currently Sara Paul $154,364), director of human resources (currently Mitch Cooper $145,000), director of student support services (currently Kathleen Daniels, $145,278), director of technology and innovation (currently Mark Garrison, $139,469), director of community services and recreation (currently Tim Maurer, $116,000), and director of communications and community relations (currently Marisa Vette, $115,744). Wald and Cooper's contracts were approved at a meeting in June as they replaced outgoing cabinet members.

• Approved minor updates to three policies: school board officers, conflict of interest – school board member, and disability nondiscrimination policy.

Sheriff’s deputy intervenes at School Board meeting

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — A Washington County Sheriff's deputy showed up at the Mahtomedi School Board meeting and asked a member of the media to step outside the board room.

Bob Zick, one of the hosts of the online show “Inside Insight News Hour,” had gone beyond his allotted three-minute time during a segment of the meeting that is open to public comment and was ignoring Board Chair Lucy Payne's direction to step down from the podium.

The board attempted to show Zick his time was up by going on a short recess, but when board members returned to the room, Zick began speaking loudly from the podium as the board attempted to move forward on its agenda.

The deputy entered the board room, taking steps closer to Zick, as he fi nally relented and stepped away from the podium, hurling insults at board members.

Zick approached the deputy to complain about the public process and the deputy asked him to step outside the room. As he followed the deputy out the door, Zick asked to see the deputy's business card.

Zick had been addressing the board about his low opinion of the superintendent, which he said was related to the superintendent's report on the agenda. Zick was intermittently interrupted, as Payne said he was straying off topic. The super-

intendent also had not yet given his report, so it was unclear what Zick was addressing on the agenda.

The board's policy only allows public speaking at the meeting if the topic is related to an item on the agenda. Payne said she could speak with him after the meeting. After the meeting, Payne offered Zick a chance to speak with her.

Grant City Councilman Larry Lanoux, co-host of the online news show “All Around Grant” also spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting and the board also took a recess, as he refused to listen to the board's directions. He was speaking about environmental concerns regarding district land that used to be a landfi ll. He also interjected from the audience asking if he can cede his property from the district.

It is not the general practice of members of the media to speak at public meetings.

In action following the two recesses, the board: • Held a fi rst reading of policies with recommended Minnesota School Board Association changes or Minnesota Department of Education Civil Rights Review changes. Updates were minor.

• Approved the district's long-term facilities maintenance 10-year plan. The plan begins with spending about $600,000 in 2017, and ends with expenditures of about $1.4 million in 2027, according to district documents. The district expects to have to spend about $1.3 million for roof systems in 2026 and 2027.

• Approved District 916's long-term facilities maintenance budget and a levy of about $12,000 for Mahtomedi for the 2017 to 2018 school year.

District 916 is an intermediate district that provides services for Mahtomedi and other area districts. Those districts share fi nancial obligations included in 916's long-term facility maintenance budget.

• Approved several policies with changes to comply with new requirements. There were minor wording changes to the superintendent selection, school district curriculum and instruction goals, establishment and adoption of school district budget, and crisis management policies.

• Approved a policy outlining what happens when families have unpaid meal charges. Families will be notified when an account balance reaches negative $10. Negative balances of more than $50 may be turned over to the superintendent for collection. A student with an outstanding meal charge debt can purchase a meal if they pay for it at the time. Otherwise, an alternate meal may be provided. Students cannot purchase snacks with a negative account balance and may be restricted in activities that require a fee if their balance is not paid in full.

Households may apply for free or reduced meals at any time.

“THE BEGUILED” (R) [SOME SEXUALITY.]

— Tensions and libidos rise in this engaging, intriguing, unpredictable, 93-minute Sofia Coppola remake of the 1971 film highlighted by gorgeous cinematography when an injured, handsome Union corporal (Colin Farrell) arrives at a Virginia school for girls in 1864 run by a beautiful headmistress (Nicole Kidman) and a teacher (Kirsten Dunst) who care for five students (Elle Fanning, Oona Laurence, Angourie Rice, Addison Riecke and Emma Howard) during the Civil War.

“A GHOST STORY” (R) [BRIEF LANGUAGE AND A DISTURBING IMAGE.]

— After a struggling musician (Casey Affleck) dies suddenly in a tragic car accident near his home and rises in the morgue wearing a ghostly sheet in this critically acclaimed, love-it-orhate-it, painfully slow-paced, artsy, existential, thought-provoking, 87-minute David Lowery film with minimal dialogue and long-held camera shots, he returns to his modest suburban home to watch over his grieving wife (Rooney Mara) who eventually moves on with her life.

WEATHER TIDBIT The International Airport recorded its 8th 90° day of the year this past Saturday when it reached 96° (hottest day of the summer). The heat island effect was in full force that day. I reached 91° for my 4th 90° degree day of the year. It’s typical for the Airport to run a few degrees warmer than the outlying suburbs. We’re way behind on rainfall this month....from Roseville, Shoreview, North Oaks, Vadnais, to White Bear where I’ve totaled only.37”. Even the Airport has totaled only .41”. A small portion from Blaine, Lino and Hugo (1.67”) have fared any significant amount.

Students at Willow Lane Elementary helped build the school’s new playground earlier this month. Staff, parents and community members came together recently for a two-day playground build experience, with the help of expert builders. The new equipment includes the Rev8, a merry-go-round, climbing structure combo, several additional spinning apparatuses and challenging traverses that promote strength, balance and concentration. Beginning in the spring of 2016 and throughout the 2016-17 school year, students were involved in initiatives that helped fund the playground.

The project was funded through many avenues, including a grant received from the playground equipment companies BCI Burke and St. Croix Recreation; local businesses such as Pratt Homes, White Bear HealthMart and McGough; as well as the city of White Bear Lake and the Willow Lane PTO.

WHITE BEAR LAKE RELAY FOR LIFE

Join Us Friday July 28, 2017 • 6:00pm • WBLAHS South Campus Teams

Relay For Life is a team fundraising cancer walk event where team members take turns walking around a track or designated path.

Each event is 6-24 hours in length and each team is asked to have a member on the track at all times to signify that cancer never sleeps.

Cancer patients don’t stop because they’re tired, and for one night, neither do we.

Each team sets up a themed campsite at the event and continues their fundraising efforts by collecting donations for food, goods, games, and activities. This money will count towards their overall team fundraising goal.

At Relay For Life events, no one faces cancer alone. We come together every year at more than 3,500 Relay events around the country to support and celebrate survivors and caregivers.

Each Relay has special events and activities (many throughout the year) just for survivors and their caregivers, so they can connect with others and know there is a strong support system available to them.

1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. One of those people could be you or someone you love. That’s why we Relay. When you join a Relay For Life event, you’re helping the American Cancer Society fund groundbreaking research, crucial patient care programs, and education and prevention information. When you Relay, you help save lives.

The money raised through Relay For Life events helps realize the American Cancer Society’s mission to save lives, celebrate life, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.

Donations are used to fund life-saving cancer research, patient support services, prevention and education information, and detection and treatment programs. Here’s how the money raised last year is helping make a difference.

One person can make a difference. In May 1985, Dr. Gordon “Gordy” Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Washington, raising money to help the American Cancer Society with the nation’s biggest health concern: cancer.

Gordy spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track at the University of Puget Sound.

Friends, family, and patients watched and supported him as he walked and ran more

than 83.6 miles and raised $27,000 through pledges to help save lives from cancer. As he circled the track, he thought of how he could get others to take part. He envisioned having teams participate in a 24-hour fundraising event. The next year, 19 teams were part of the first Relay at the historical Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000.

Gordy passed away August 3, 2014, at the age of 71 from heart failure after battling stomach cancer. But his legacy lives on. He helped shape an idea that started as one man walking and running a track and helped turn it into

He also noted that “Americans have been the innovators, the creators and the risk-takers of the world,” and encouraged the new citizens to become part of that.
