Getting their kicks at Marketfest

Police begin summer crosswalk enforcement

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Dance students from Inspiration Performing Arts Center in Mahtomedi perform for a Marketfest crowd gathered at Railroad Park Thursday, July 20. The final installment of the weekly summertime gathering in downtown White Bear Lake is Thursday, July 27. The featured entertainment is the Devon Worley Band on the Kowalski’s Gazebo Stage (with Just for Kix performing at intermission) and American Bootleg on the White Bear Mitsubishi Stage (with the White Bear Elementary Orchestra performing at intermission).

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Police officers and citizen volunteers took to the streets July 10 for the department's fi rst-ever crosswalk enforcement initiative.

“We are just going to stop the blatant violators,” White Bear Lake Police Office Jon Sanders told the group of CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) volunteers at the intersection of Fourth Street and Wood Avenue, the fi rst of three locations where the group took to the crosswalks. “Those are the ones we want to educate.”

Sanders, dressed as a civilian, proceeded to lead volunteers across the crosswalk. If a car passed the orange cones about 200 feet away as Sanders took at least one step into the road and didn't stop at the crosswalk, he radioed a police chase car down the road on either side that would pull

A-boat racing: Maiden voyage akin to baptism under fire

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

When Gene Altstatt got wind a fleet of A boats were for sale on White Bear Lake, he knew he wanted to own a piece of their history.

True, he’s a beginner when it comes to sailboat racing, but Altstatt had the means and the drive to own one of the high performance scows he’d observed many times skimming across the water near his Mahtomedi dock.

A-scows are not for the inexperienced sailor. It is said that an A-scow crew must always be at the top

of their game. Thirty-eight feet long with no keel, the boats are so light, they are scary. And they capsize easily.

Altstatt learned this the hard way.

It all started last May when Altstatt purchased one of Fletcher Driscoll’s A boats. It was Dumbledore, a one-of-a-kind fiberglass scow built in 2003 by a man named Brad Robinson. But more on that later.

The boat was the only one in the fleet without an existing crew, which is why Altstatt chose it.

With Driscoll’s help, a crew was assembled. Six SEE THE ROBINSON, PAGE 8A

Viewing lake history from a bicycle seat

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — “You get the trail in there and we’ll bring the history.”

That comment came from area historian Sara Markoe Hanson to members of the Lake Links Association, the group lobbying for a bicycle route around White Bear Lake.

Association co-chair, Steve Wolgamot, invited Hanson to the group’s July 17 meeting to share some history around the lake. Eventually, the hope is to post signage directing trail users to points of interest in surrounding communities. And there are many points.

“History isn’t a problem around the lake,” noted Hanson, executive director of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.

In her presentation to the association, Hanson recalled how White Bear Lake was a popular tourist destination for St. Paulites who would travel three hours by horse and buggy to visit area resorts.

When the railroad arrived in 1868, the mode of transportation changed.

By 1908 resorts were fading and streetcars arrived.

Starting with Cottage Park in White Bear Lake, Hanson talked about its Clubhouse, built in 1881 as a community center. It had a kitchen for people who built summer houses nearby sans a stove. Part of the clubhouse still stands.

There’s the gazebo built in 1883 on South Shore Boulevard and later moved to Matoska Park, the old Dellwood depot, the site where Wildwood Amusement Park stood in Mahtomedi, the White Bear Yacht Club, and Ramsey County Beach, which was an ice harvesting operation before the county bought the land.

“There is an astonishing amount of history here and people who care

Co-Chair Mike Brooks is seated. The group discussed a list of standards that will be adopted for the 10-mile lake route.

about it,” observed Wolgamot at the conclusion of Hanson’s presentation. “It could take many more (trail) signs than we can afford.”

The White Bear Lake Community Foundation has received several contributions earmarked for Lake Links. The foundation is the fi scal agent for the nonprofit, which may need funds to buy a piece of right of way, or signage, or may need money for marketing or lobbying efforts.

Wolgamot compared his vision for Lake Links’ to one in Indianapolis.

Considered one of the best cities to see by bicycle, the Indiana capital has an 8-mile cultural trail that explores its downtown, bringing a huge economic boon to the area.

LAKE HISTORY: 10-mile route will be built for all ages, abilities FROM PAGE 2A

Route standards in works The 10-mile trail will be built on public right of way to accommodate “all ages, all abilities,” Wolgamot said. “Our concept is to build a route for people age 8 to 80. We hope to get it done over the next four years.”

As reported last May, the Legislature awarded $255,000 to the trail project; money that will be used for preliminary design work and to fi nish a segment from Lions Park to South Shore Boulevard. Construction for the segment along old White Bear Avenue will start next year.

MnDOT is currently surveying the right of way along Hwy. 244, which should be done in August.

According to Wolgamot, who co-chairs Lake Links with Mike Brooks, the transportation department never surveyed the Dellwood piece because it didn’t think the state had right of way on that road. Wolgamot showed them otherwise after researching old Washington County maps.

The Lake Links group is working to develop “standards” as Wolgamot calls them, to establish consistency and brand identity of the route—“so it’s something people recognize when they’re on it.”

He prefaces a draft document listing the standards with a caveat: that although the concurrence of all jurisdictions and agencies is sought, no jurisdiction or agency is bound by the standards.

Among the standards proposed by the association: • Width. The trail route will be 10 feet wide. If there are right of way limitations, 8 feet is acceptable. It may vary due to ground conditions or desire to save larger trees.

• Surface. Bituminous material. Decomposed granite may be acceptable if compliant with ADA requirements.

• On-road routing. If lack of right of way precludes a separate trail, the route may be on the roadway in areas where average annual daily traffic is lower than 1,000 and speed limit is 25 mph or less.

• Bicycle speed. Bicycles shall not exceed 12 mph on designated Lake Links route if pedestrians are present.

• Ancillary routes. May be established to permit access to scenic or historic attractions or local businesses. These are to be identified to avoid route confusion.

• Signage. Not yet determined and subject to approval of each of the five communities.

WHITE BEAR LAKE AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY | SUBMITTED

Lincolntown High School opened in 1931 and held grades five through 12. The Mahtomedi District Education Center now sits on the site.

• Year-round route. Provisions for maintenance responsibility and expense must be part of facility design and implementation. That includes lighting.

Wolgamot noted that at this point, no one knows who will own the trail. The hope is to keep it open 12 months but it will not be binding on any city to plow snow on the trail.

Meanwhile, the co-chairman said he remains

“wildly optimistic” that the project will continue its momentum. He plans to schedule a public hearing this fall to gather input and will continue to hold monthly meetings with invited speakers to talk about the project.

Incident reports

F

rom time to time I get a question about how the paper works, such as how letters make the paper, where our story ideas come from, and who compiles our police reports. Our papers strive to reflect the local communities we serve; our mission is to be “the best source of community information.” Our news team relies on story leads that come from attending city council, planning, township and or school board meetings. They come from press releases, personal contacts and perhaps most importantly from our readers. Occasionally we do receive an anonymous call or letter. We have multiple editors under one roof who meet weekly review key topics facing our Publisher’s to communities. From these meetings they plan out the story list.

View Depending on the week, breaking Carter Johnson news takes priority and can even push back other stories. If you know of something going on that would be of interest to the broader community, or a person who should be featured, please let us know.

Regarding letters, we print 99.9 percent of all letters to the editor that meet our published guidelines. Few entities allow this type of community dialogue and engagement. Letters are important to the community, they are the opinion of our readers, it’s a voice allowing the community to call out a concern or praise a good deed, and help keep local government bodies, city councils, townships, public safety and school boards accountable to the residents they serve. Letters more often than not are submitted by local residents and should be relevant to our community. We can’t fact-check an opinion of our letter writers. Letters should not be libelous and we may ask writers to re-word them to meet the guidelines. We recommend that complaints against local businesses be directed to the business owner directly and then reach out to the Better Business Bureau if you don’t hear back.

Incident reports are written from public records compiled by our law enforcement and logged at the police departments and county sheriff’s offices.

Reviewing these records are time-consuming and tedious, in some cases reporters have to set appointments to review the records and hand record or type the records and then we re-write them for clarity. We do this to create a format that is readable. If we hear of a police or fire call, we try to follow up and give you the details as departments are not required to share information unless we properly request it. If it’s breaking news, we try to give you the most complete report possible in our print editions. We also post updates online and through our social media feeds. Our police and fire departments work well with our reporters and answer the questions needed to keep the community informed. Transparency of our government agencies is crucial to the safety and trust of a community.

Family cabins My wife spent the weekend at Lake Okoboji, Iowa, with college girlfriends. They stayed at the O’Brien family cabin her friend bought nearly 20 years ago in partnership with five siblings. The modest cabin was slowly remodeled over the years so that each sibling has their own bedroom, and families can come and go at will. She said one of the main reasons it has worked so well is that they have followed their dad’s initial advice that no in-laws be involved in any cabin-related issues. As the siblings married and families grew, they lived by this rule. Her dad’s rationale was that siblings know where each other is coming from, how to argue and how to work things out. With in-laws involved, opinions can be vastly different, disagreements can be harder to solve, and resentments build. It seems like prudent advice from Mr. O’Brien about a family cabin and could apply to family business situations, as well.

National Night Out “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”

L

iving in a safe community where you know your neighbors and trust your local police and fi re units is of utmost importance — and the goal of National Night Out. The annual “America’s Night Out Against Crime” is celebrating its 34th year on Tuesday, August 1. The night is dedicated to neighborhoods coming out, spending time Legislator together and promoting various Lingo crime prevention programs, includChuck Wiger ing neighborhood watch groups, law enforcement f t agencies and more.

Many neighborhoods throw a block party and spend more time getting to know each other and building relationships with their local police and fi refighters.

I have always been a strong supporter of this night. The event helps strengthen neighborhood spirit and builds trust with local law enforcement. Building trust is especially important in light of extra media attention on poor re-

I know that our local police forces are made up of strong, smart men and women who take seriously their role to protect our communities. It’s my hope that everyone in our corner of the northeast metro shares this same view of our police and fi re units.

Dozens of neighborhoods across the Twin Cities will be among the 16,000 communities that celebrate this night each year. In fact, more than 38 million people are expected to participate in ‘America’s Night Out Against Crime.’ Celebrations are held in all 50 states, U.S. Territories, and even Canadian cities and military bases around the world.

I hope you’ll join this nationwide celebration by turning your front porch lights on as a symbolic vigil of neighborhood watch. I’ll be out and about

attending several National Night Out celebrations, meeting with constituents and enjoying the camaraderie of the evening. Most gatherings begin at 5 p.m. and run through 9 p.m.

I’d also like to remind everyone that when we work with our local police and fi re departments they can do a better job of protecting our communities. I urge everyone to take a moment to talk to their law enforcement officers when they see them out and open those lines of communication.

5 reasons to eat at home

I

t is tempting: you are hungry, you don’t want to do dishes, you want to be out and about, and you want that ‘lift’ from going out to eat. Before you know it, you are going out to eat several times a week, sometimes more than once a day. More and more, people are spending an increasing amount of money going out to eat. Along with that, pants get tighter and budgets are broken.

With a little planning, recipe searching, and prioritizing, eating at home can become just as exciting, more delicious, and much healthier. Here’s why: 1. You will eat fewer calories, less sodium, and less sugar. Main dishes at restaurants are usually richer and more decadent, and people are more likely to overeat when they are out. Fortunately, many restaurants now offer nutrition information, making it easier to make good choices. Make a plan with yourself to only eat out three times in the next 4 weeks (or half as much as you normally eat out), and weigh yourself at the start and end of the experiment. Email me at my address listed below with your success stories!

2. The food will taste better, that is unless you are paying a lot of money at a high end restaurant, or unless you are a terrible cook. By cooking at home, you can make your food exactly how you like it. And, if you don’t know how, study some recipes, play around, ask a friend — figure it out. Learning how to prepare food that you like is an incredibly easy, low-risk, and worthwhile investMovers and ment.

The first step may be to identify what you Shakers truly like to eat, rather Megan Baumler than letting the restaurants and advertisements determine that for you. An added bonus is that anyone who is with you at home will learn also, either by watching or helping — thus making you a good influence.

2. You will spend less money. Eating out is expensive, and you’ll pay a lot of money for food you could have gotten at about a quarter of the price from a market

or grocery store. Here is an approach: plan to grocery shop once per week, and choose three to four recipes for that week’s dinner menus. Make sure to get breakfast and lunch foods, and the items needed for your recipes that you have chosen. Choose recipes that don’t call for exotic ingredients, or use alternative ingredients to save money. The other couple nights can be leftover foods or quick meal items (omelets, quesadillas, sandwiches, for example), or you could choose to go out one night that week for dinner. Follow this approach, and you might find that you have more money in your account. You will be surprised at how far you can stretch your food dollar with home cooking, especially if you do some meatless meals, use your groceries wisely, and don’t shop more than once per week.

3. You will save time, fuel, and wear and tear on your car. Eating out takes time. If you add it all up over days and months, eating out may take more time than if you were to eat at home (learn to be efficient in the kitchen at home), and yes, that includes the time it takes to clean up (it should be a team effort).

Take a minute to consider how often you go out to eat and where you go. Add up the mileage and estimate the fuel cost. Imagine you could save that mileage and fuel cost by eating a delicious meal prepared to your liking, and enjoyed in the comforts of your own home.

4. You will feel better. All of the above reasons add up to a greater quality of life, something we all seek. Spend more time being self sufficient rather than being a customer. Going out to eat will become an occasion or special event, rather than the norm.

5. Some people get their main enjoyment from going out to eat, and make it work without developing chronic disease or going into debt. For those, this article doesn’t apply. For many however, with a little planning, learning, shopping, and quality time in the kitchen, you might fi nd this could change your life.

Trial date set for man charged with death of Vadnais Heights woman

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — A man charged with manslaughter of Vadnais Heights resident Michele Newell last summer has a jury trial scheduled for September in Fargo.

Timothy Barr, of Lakeville, pled not guilty in January, according to court documents. Felony charges of manslaughter and accident involving death or injury were fi led in Cass County District Court after the remains of Newell were found in December.

Barr’s trial begins September 6, according to court documents.

The morning of the trial Barr’s attorney and the judge will discuss how many jurors will be on the jury and how long the trial may last, said state prosecutor Tristan Jones Van de Streek.

The remains of Michele Newell were found in December by the Cass County Sheriff’s Office in North Dakota. Barr had given authorities information that led to the discovery of the remains.

Newell was last seen and heard from on August 29. She apparently left her Vadnais Heights home and went north with Barr that week.

According to the complaint fi led in Minnesota, Newell had allegedly been accidentally run over by a car and killed by Barr.

According to an informant, Barr said he was using drugs and became angry when she had taken some of his dope. He then allegedly backed up his vehicle not knowing she had hidden beneath it, and killed her.

A resident in Wheatland, North Dakota reported seeing Barr and Newell on August 30 after news

came out about the missing woman in September, according to the affidavit of probable cause fi led in North Dakota. He had asked them what they were doing on his property. Barr had told the man they were looking for a place to have sex.

Cass County Sheriff’s deputies and North Dakota Highway Patrol officers also had contact with Barr while he was lying in a ditch on private property on August 30, according to the affidavit. A person called him in as a medical concern. Barr said he was just resting. Later, a person reported seeing him walking out of his woods and said he would call police. He had asked the owner not to call police because he would go to prison for life. Law enforcement came and when they asked why he was on private property he said his girlfriend went there to have sex.

“When asked where his girlfriend was, Timothy Barr advised that her boyfriend had come out to pick her up because Timothy Barr’s car had broken down,” read court documents.

Barr was arrested in Minnesota in September. He did plead guilty in Minnesota in October to fleeing police in a vehicle, related to the missing woman incident.

Barr had previously been charged in Minnesota, but the charges were dropped in October due to jurisdictional issues because a body had not been found.

Barr has 10 prior felony convictions, many of which are drug-related.

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

Vadnais Heights • A successful gas thief, driving off seven times in recent weeks from a station in the 3200 block of Hwy. 61, was fi nally nabbed July 6, but Grandma came in and paid the latest charge.

The man’s success was attributed to always driving a different vehicle. The thief agreed to a “payment plan” with station management to avoid criminal charges.

• A local woman reported July 12 that she fell victim to a scam when she gave a caller access to her computer and she now cannot sign in.

The 69-year-old victim wired a total of $15,000 in money orders to various names provided by the scammer, before fi nally reporting the activity.

• Deputies are looking for a prowler featured on video July 13 breaking into vehicles at a car lot in the 1500 block of Buerkle Road. Two radios valued at a total of $540 went missing.

• A White Bear Lake shoplifter cited and released for “under-ringing” items at the self-checkout register July 14 at WalMart explained her actions by saying she “had to feed her kids.” The woman is 63 years old.

• Having a really bad day would be waking up in a tub of ice with a missing kidney, but for the 27-year-old St. Paul woman it was still a bad day. Already late for work the afternoon of July

16, the woman’s vehicle broke down on I-35E and County Road E. Arriving deputies determined the old vehicle was not worth repairing and a tow truck was called. The woman was also ticketed for driving without a license.

• Residents in the 1000 block of County Road D fl agged down a squad car July 16 to report people sitting in a vehicle in the visitor’s lot for an extended period of time the evening of July 16. One of the folks in the vehicle is now sitting in jail after it was discovered that the 28-yearold out of West St. Paul was wanted on an active Dakota County warrant for her arrest.

• Cash in the amount of $160 and credit cards were taken in two vehicle break-ins the night of July 15 in the 400 block of Koehler Road. The plastic was immediately put to use.

• Pedestrians in the 3200 block of Labore Road reported a “large bird,” most likely a hawk several thought, inside of the Equipment Repair Co. building July 17 and attempting to fly out, but banging into the closed windows. A few phone calls later, employees inside were advised by the U of M Raptor Center to turn off the lights at dusk and leave the large doors to the facility open, and the bird should fly away.

Sure enough, it did.

• Forgetting to close his garage door overnight July 17, a 70-year-old Centerville Road man reported the loss of a Husquavarna chain saw, a Ryobi leafblower and a bag of tools, total value of $400. No suspects.

• A 26-year-old Skyline Drive man was booked

into the Ramsey County Jail July 18 on charges of “felony terroristic threats and reckless disregard of risk,” against Mom, 53 and brother, 20. The reason for the seriousness of the charge was that the suspect was armed at the time with a meat cleaver. Alcohol was involved.

White Bear Township • A Portland Avenue homeowner contacted authorities July 12, reporting that he had caught a “nuisance raccoon” in a live trap and would like it removed. Residents are reminded that the county does not remove wildlife from private property, dead or alive.

• A woman freshly terminated from her job at the St. Paul Pioneer Press July 13 refused to leave the distribution site on White Bear Parkway.

Deputies arrived and convinced the ex-employee that if she didn’t leave she would be facing a disorderly conduct arrest. She left.

• A man was not far from his vehicle on Bald Eagle Boulevard late the night of July 14, but far enough away to be unable to stop a prowler from grabbing his “get away bag” off the front seat. In the bag was $2,000 in cash, prescriptions, IDs, a checkbook and his passport. No suspects.

• A shoplifter who got away from Autozone on Meadowlands Drive July 17 but was later found, was jailed on felony warrants of driving after license cancelation-inimical to public safety and gross-misdemeanor false information to 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 • A porch cover in the 400 block of Birchwood Court was reported slashed July 3.

Kids Cooking School students show off baking skills

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD COMMUNITY PRESS EDITOR

Two students from the Kids Cooking School in Lino Lakes were just steps away from starring in the Kids Baking Championships on The Food Network.

Kids Cooking School owner Tiffany Cavegn selected four students to apply for the show who she thought would not only enjoy it but would have an opportunity to advance and — if not — handle a rejection well.

The students were Clinton Kish-Bailey, 12, and his sister Anna, 10, of Blaine, Grant Bosacker, 11, of Lino Lakes, and Amelia Olson, 12, of Andover.

Both Clinton and Grant advanced far into the process. In fact, Clinton made it all the way to the very last step, but ended up not making the fi nal cut. “He was maybe 10 days away from going to Los Angeles,” Cavegn said. “I was heartbroken for him, but it's also a life lesson, because you don't always get the job you want, you don't always make the team you want. At the same time, my heart was bursting with pride. They did so well.”

Meet Clinton Clinton, son of Adam and Andrea Kish-Bailey, attends the DaVinci Academy of Arts & Science

in Blaine (relocating to Ham Lake). He fi rst attended the Kids Cooking School over spring break to try out the “Pasta from Scratch” class.

He did so well, Cavegn asked him to be her assistant and help out with classes this summer.

“He had a good positive, curious attitude. Not only was he not afraid, but he was excited and willing to try things,” Cavegn said. “I could just tell he had a natural affi nity for the way the ingredients work together.”

Clinton's interest in baking stems from when he was as young as 3 years old, when he baked sour cream coffee cakes and sugar cookies with his grandma.

“I didn't really start baking on my own until recently, a couple months ago,” Clinton said. “I like to bake because I like to mix everything together and be able to have a really cool thing. I also like to eat what I make.”

The best thing Clinton said he has ever made was a chicken fajita and the hardest thing was a French macaroon. He wanted to go on the show “to show his love for baking and be on TV.” The audition process for the Kids Baking Championships, Clinton said, was very nerve-wracking. “I was so nervous. I would send in my audition video and then I'd have to wait a

THE ROBINSON: New owner wants to continue A-boat legacy on White Bear Lake FROM PAGE 1A

people plus a skipper are required to crew an A. Altstatt had one request: That the crew, with the exception of skipper Geof Woodberry, be at the same starting level. “I didn’t want to play the intimidation game with people who had egos bigger than mine,” he explained.

The skipper drives the boat. Altstatt likes to use the analogy of a baseball team when comparing an A-boat crew.

“The catcher is the best player on the team. Geof is like the catcher. He has more knowledge than all of us combined and more experience. He knows what he’s doing and the rest of us don’t.”

The inexperienced crew departed Driscoll’s dock on a cool day in May for their maiden voyage. The water was cold, about 56 degrees. About 1,000 yards out, they leaned too far on the wrong side and flipped the boat. Called turtling in sailing lingo, the scow quickly went upside down. The water was 39 feet deep.

The mast is 40 feet deep so the tip was stuck in the mud.

Accustomed to uprighting sailboats, Driscoll came to the rescue with help from a second boat. It took more than an hour to rotate the scow. Fortunately everyone was wearing life jackets. Unfortunately, they ripped the main sail.

An A boat weighs a minimum of 1850 pounds. They have a very large sail area; the 1200-square-foot spinnaker is the largest in the United States that is not controlled by winches but by human strength, explained Driscoll, who has sailed scows most of his life. “The thing pulls your arms right out of their socket,” he said.

The crew of six must be nimble and strong, able to multi-task and in the right place at the right time. Each person has three jobs.

“There is a lot to owning and running

a boat like this,” Altstatt observed. “I can hardly believe Fletcher dealt with all the boats in his fleet. It takes a lot of care and attention, not to mention the crew and skipper coordination and training for our fresh crew. But it’s a lot of fun. It’s put a whole new dimension into White Bear Lake for me.”

A financial strategist since 1973, Altstatt has admired the boats from afar for years. They give the lake a lot of class, he said.

But the boats are not cheap. A stripped down version can cost $165,000. A suit of sails is about $12,000; a spinnaker is $7,000. Most boats have three sets. If the carbon fiber mast breaks, it costs $20,000 to replace.

His interest, like the Driscolls, is in keeping the legacy of the majestic boats alive on White Bear Lake.

Designed in 1900 by J.O. Johnson of Johnson Boat Works, the first center board A scow was named Minnezitka and owned by C. Milton Griggs. The boat went on to win the White Bear Lake championship that year and cemented Johnson’s reputation as a boat builder.

According to Driscoll, Altstatt’s boat, renamed The Robinson in honor of its original owner, is the finest A boat ever built.

Described as a sailor, creator and philanthropist, Brad Robinson took Johnson’s mono hull scow design and with help from a Rhode Island mold maker, made it even faster. Christened Victory, he sailed the boat on Lake Minnetonka and had plans to race her in Inland Lake Yachting Association (ILYA) regattas.

It was an amazing sailboat that should have transformed A scow racing. Instead, Robinson was ostracized by the competition and excluded from racing in ILYA events.

White Bear Lake sailor Geof Woodberry was recruited to skipper The Robinson for owner Gene Altstatt. Woodberry grew up on the coast of Maine and has sailed since he was 13. Other crew members include Keith Hisdahl, Paul Putzier, Paxton Berger, Colin O’Donovan, Sharon Clinch and Mark Arend. The teamwork required is what impresses Woodberry the most.

THE ROBINSON: A bittersweet member of inland racing history FROM PAGE 8A

The story about Robinson’s innovative scow, his many sailing successes on water and in the business world, his legal battle to make Victory’s races count, his generous offer to sell the mold to Melges Boat Works, and finally his sale of the boat to Driscoll in 2007, are all told in a book called “The Price of Victory and the Fear of Innovation,” by Linda Tedford.

Driscoll called the book accurate and telling. “Melges was very threatened by the boat,” he said. “When Brad hired a Swiss naval architect that designed the Alinghe, which won the America’s Cup years ago, that really set people off. Victory had a perfect crew and didn’t lose a race. That caused enormous anguish.”

Driscoll still keeps in contact with Robinson’s widow Susana, a woman who persuaded her husband to follow his dream despite the animosity. Robinson died of cancer in 2015.

Of Driscoll’s five A boats for sale, three are still available at extraordinary bargains to hometown sailors.

A fourth A boat, the Firenze, was purchased by four local sailors this summer. The 1966 wooden scow is the last built by Melges Boat Works of Zenda, Wisconsin.

Those owners include Mark Duvall, Carter Johnson, Brian Humpal and Jesse Bengston.

The Robinson, the Firenze and other A scows can be seen racing on Monday nights, weather permitting.

The season ends on Labor Day.

CROSSWALK: Police department steps out for suburban crosswalk safety FROM PAGE 1A

pedestrian crossing within marked crosswalks or at intersections with no traffic signals, according to the Minnesota Office of the Reviser of Statues website. It also tells pedestrians they should not walk into the path of a vehicle if it is so close that it is impossible for the drive to yield.

Considering the sheer number of pedestrians who stand blankly at crosswalks while drivers blankly drive by, the rule is unclear.

Sanders is clearing up the confusion with the Stop for Me crosswalk safety education initiative, which he learned how to implement while assisting the St. Paul Police Department with their initiative the last couple of years. Sanders said he wanted to bring it to the suburbs.

“Compliance from drivers is slipping and we are working to correct this before a pedestrian gets hit in a crosswalk,” Sanders noted. “Our agency is planning additional enforcement dates in mid- to late-August as well.”

Police officers enforce the state crosswalk law by using a safe stopping distance based on the speed limit based on National Highway Traffic Administration guidelines.

BY THE NUMBERS

9 out of 10 pedestrians hit by a vehicle survive 5 out of 10 survive 1 out of 10 survive pedestrians died in Minnesota in 2015 after being hit by a vehicle were injured

Pedestrians also need to be in the crosswalk or road at an intersection; they need to have taken only one step into the road, Sanders said.

“In order for the law to take its effect you have to put one foot into the roadway,” Sanders explained.

Sanders also noted that bicyclists do not have pedestrian right-of-way unless they get off their bike and walk.

At Fourth Street and Wood Avenue, the department placed orange cones 193 feet east and west of the crosswalk because a car should be able to safely stop for a pedestrian at that distance in a 30-mph zone. For 40-mph zones, it is 266 feet.

Sanders, the CERT team and

chase cars from White Bear Lake and St. Paul also covered two other crosswalks that evening — at White Bear Avenue and Lakeaires Boulevard and County Road E and Cranbrook Drive.

Officers stopped a total of 45 vehicles that had failed to yield to pedestrians, Sanders reported. 40 received tickets and five received warnings. The misdemeanor fi ne is $178 with surcharges, according to the Minnesota Judicial Branch website.

White Bear grad takes a walk in the woods Seven years after graduating from White Bear Lake Area High School, Taylor Kope is fulfi lling his dream of hiking the Appalachian Trail. The e-n-t-i-r-e 2,181 miles.

According to his mom, Jane Kope, the 2010 grad saved his money and trained for a year to hike the famous trail stretching from Georgia to Maine. He took six months off from his job at Dunbar Security driving an armored car to complete the solo trip, leaving April 30 from Springer Mountain, Georgia. Taylor plans to fi nish on Mt. Katahdin in Maine sometime in September.

He hit the 1,000-miles-to-go mark on July 20 in Pennsylvania. The heat index was 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Jane said Taylor averages 20 to 25 miles a day and often meets hikers to walk with along the trail. He goes by the trail name Trailien, she said.

Taylor told his mom he feels like a trail alien on his own planet amid all the beauty and new things around him as he walks.

Anyone wishing to follow his journey can follow him on Facebook or access Taylor’s blog at http:// taylorkopethruhike2017.blogspot.com/?m=1 “He loves to read encouraging words from people all over the country,” Jane said. “Hometown support would be amazing.”

She plans to visit Taylor the end of August and will continue to share his journey. “What this trail does for people is life changing,” Jane said.

“I am very excited to meet the new Taylor Kope

when he fi nishes what he has set out to do.”

In a post from July 21, Day 83, Taylor wrote: “The problem with big mile days is that if you don’t plan it right, you’re in a rush. You have to get where you want before dark, or life gets frantic. Setting up camp in the dark is tough; you turn on your headlamp and you’re bombarded

with bug and moth projectiles while you try to make a place to sleep and eat some food. Then when you’re done, you can’t unwind, you have to crawl in your tent and try to rest for the next round of the fi ght. I was lucky that the shelter we picked had a loft, so I just laid out, doused myself in bug spray and drifted to sleep.

This morning, we went 4 miles to the 501 shelter, where a ministry had set up a trail magic spot. They cooked us bacon and eggs, had cold drinks, basic resupply items and good Christian company. Like I’ve said before, it’s times like these that let you reset and know everything is OK. They gave us a lift to town where we can charge our phones and grab a shower. Tonight, they’re having a cookout and bringing us back to the trail afterward.

The 501 shelter marks mile 1194, which means we have exactly 1,000 miles to go. Now it will be more of a countdown. Though I got to say, time runs differently out here. I never know the day of the week, and distance can only be consciously recognized when you set down your pack and look back. Then everything hits you after you exit your chaotically meditative state that we call ‘hiking.’ So yeah, things are as they should be and we’re going to keep pressing on. Send us your good vibes and I’ll keep you all in my prayers, as well. Your thru-hiker, Tailien.”

BAKING CHAMPIONSHIPS: Audition process was ‘nerve-wracking’ FROM PAGE 7A

day or two for them to reply. Then when I made it to the fi nal (stage) I had to wait a week to see if I was in or not,” he said.

Even though Clinton didn't make it all the way, he is still thankful for the experience and plans to apply again next year. “I am really glad I did it because now I am getting interviewed all the time. I am on the news and going to be in the newspaper,” he said. “Some people want to buy my stuff. I think it really worked out in my favor.”

When Clinton is not baking, he also enjoys playing base guitar; collecting hats, toy cars and fossils; and fi shing and skiing.

Meet Grant Grant, son of Rick and Gretchen Bosacker, attends Rice Lake Elementary School in Lino Lakes and started baking when he was 7 years old.

“I was on YouTube one day completely bored and I saw this video for how to make these cute little flower cookies. I watched it, made the cookies and I kept making them over and over again

SUBMITTED

Grant Bosacker (left), 11, of Lino Lakes, and Clinton Kish-Bailey, 12, of Blaine, both made it far into the audition process for the Kids Baking Championships on the Food Network.

The Kids Cooking School owner Tiffany Cavegn and Clinton Kish-Bailey pose for a photo on the Kare 11 set. Clinton enjoyed being interviewed by the newspaper, television stations and even had offers from people interested in purchasing his baked goods.

and every time I would try to challenge myself a little bit more each time and eventually I got really good at it,” he said.

Grant enjoys baking because “there are no limits, except for how many dishes you have to clean.” Grant considers himself a baker and a baker only; he said the only thing he cooks is soup in a can.

Although he has never taken a class at the Kids Cooking School, he attended the open house, where he decorated cupcakes. That's where he caught Cavegn's attention.

“I will admit my fi rst reaction (to) him was his personality; he has an incredible personality. He has rainbow-colored hair,” Cavegn explained.

“I thought his really vibrant personality would shine, but his cooking skills really shined too.”

Grant wanted to audition for the show because of the grand prize of $25,000 and “to be world famous by being on TV.” The hardest thing he has had to make is a beignet, which he has now mastered with a lot of practice. Grant was not nervous during the audition process because he loves performing, being on stage and being the center of attention. “Everyone else was nervous, but I was excited,” he said.

Grant plans to apply again for the show next

year and is thankful for how far he advanced. “It gives me something to brag about to my classmates, but it was also a good experience,” he said.

When Grant is not cooking he enjoys acting, singing, dancing and making people laugh.

Proud of accomplishments Cavegn couldn't be happier with all four students, who she said were not only fearless about going after a really big dream but remained positive throughout the process.

“I know there are thousands of children that apply for this show, so for any one of them to get that fi rst callback would've been winning. In my mind, them just having the courage to apply was winning, but them getting that fi rst callback was amazing,” Cavegn explained. “Every couple of days, as they went further and further along, I was so proud at hard they worked. They really had to work hard to show their baking skills to the producers and every day their baking not only got better, but I was so proud of their dedication.”

Bears new volleyball coach learned game as California prep player varsity assistant last season, while Laura Schmidt will return as B squad coach.

Alexander, who serves the Snail Lake Kindergarten Center as a Student Services Assistant, describes his playing ability as “always good but never great.” He received a coaches award his senior year of high school in recognition for hard work and core values. “I still keep that award on my desk at work,” he said, “to remind me why I coach and at the end of the day what sports is all about.”

The Bears have won only three to five matches per year for several seasons. Alexander resolves to work on that with a positive message providing structure and feedback. “I believe the gym should be a safe place for players to grow in the game of volleyball and life,” he said.

Alexander organized a summer league through community education where the girls regulate their own play and do their own officiating. He hoped to get enough players for 4-on-4 games, but with 51 girls turning out, they are playing regulation 6-on-6.

“I see a ton of potential in the White Bear program,” Alexander said. “The players, parents, and community are hungry for success … This summer we have worked to create a culture of growth as well as trial end error in our gym.”

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake’s new volleyball coach is one of the few male coaches in this part of the country who grew up playing the sport.

“Playing volleyball as a teenager and into college,” said Mike Alexander, “has given me a love for the game that I work to spread to my players as a coach.”

California, where Alexander grew up, is one of 22 states that offers high school volleyball for boys. In the Midwest, only Illinois and Indiana have it.

He was an outside hitter and middle blocker at Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego. Migrating to Minnesota for college, Alexander played libero and setter on the St. Thomas University club team.

“I believe my experiences as a player have molded the lens that I coach through, allowing me to relate to my players on the court.”

Alexander takes over the struggling Bears program after coaching the junior varsity last year under Courtney Sabot, who resigned. Before that, he was JV coach at Centennial (two years) and North St. Paul. He has also headed Centennial’s club team

Gone fishing: a school team activity that’s really catching on

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

“The gods do not deduct, from man's allotted span, the hours spent in fishing.” — Babylonian proverb Among the reasons anglers find to just chuck everything and go fishing is one now available to students in a growing number of high schools: competition.

“I was always a fisherman. I wanted to do tournaments,” said Zach Gronsberg, after spending six hours on Clearwater Lake, near Annandale, in a meet June 14.

Gronsberg, one of 24 members of the White Bear Lake Fishing Club in its third year, continued, “We have opportunities to learn more about fishing, too, but I grew up fishing with my dad.”

His fishing partner Garrett Walczak, who’s also a hockey player, added, “I always wanted to do tournaments, and here I can do them with kids my own age.

I like the community service, too. We had an event at Como Park a couple weeks back teaching young kids.”

Hope Legrand, who caught the fishing bug early from her grandfather, agreed.

“I’ve always fished, but never competitively before,” said the lacrosse and soccer player who gave up basketball to make fishing her third sport. “It’s nice to fish with friends and people you know. I like having the community service hours and being able to compete.”

The fishing leagues are headed by Minnesota Junior Bass, a subsidiary of Minnesota Bass. They started five years ago with 18 kids, said Jeff Gilmer, the director, who attended the Clearwater meet. The numbers increased to 28, 56, 369, and currently almost 600 this year, in 70-plus schools, divided into three conferences.

“Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and onefourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.” — attributed to Chuck Clark Hope Legrand’s brother Derek, now graduated, took the initiative to start the White Bear Lake team three years ago. Hope joined last year and her pal Katia McWilliams came along. They were the only all-girl team in the meet and had their team’s best catch — 12.16 pounds for five bass.

The Bears are coached by Tim Snyder, a program manager for Network Design and Army Reserve member. He has three assistants. Jen Thilmany, who makes arch supports, enjoys coaching because “I’ve got three boys and I love the outdoors.” There’s also Jake Montgomery, a biology teacher, and Todd Krantz, who paints bridges for the city of St. Paul.

During the school year, the team holds Monday evening meetings that include seminars. “They learn all aspects, walleyes, muskies, sunfish, everything. We bring in experts from all fields,” Snyder said. In the spring and summer, they do outreach programs such as helping elderly veterans participate in a fishing tournament and teaching children at state parks.

The team is self-funded with participation fees that

cover all events, helping with ice-fishing tournaments, selling items such as T-shirts and hats, hosting banquets, and raffling items donated by sponsors.

The squad of 18 boys and six girls includes some who were fishing novices when they joined.

“Not so much this year, but the year before, we had kids who didn’t know what a fishing rod was,” Snyder said. “Oh, yeah, they would really light up when they caught that first sunny or bass. But most of these kids have been fishing since they were able to hold a pole.”

At the Clearwater event, there were 54 delegations from 17 schools, with Rogers placing first, and the Bears somewhere in the middle, with their teams placing 19th through 40th.

Along with Legrand/ McWilliams, also placing in the top half were Grace Spindler/Parker Prescott-Harmon, Austin Thilmany/Cole Wiskow, Lucas Peterson/Samuel Deyo and Spencer Schmidt/Jaden Johnson. The other teams were Walczak/Gronsberg, Courtney Hubbs/Jacob Borglund, and Tyler Tubbesing/Fisher Hoy. “There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process.” — attributed to Paul O'Neil Unlike most competitive sports, in fishing there’s no predicting who will lead.

“Any given day it’s different,” Snyder said. “The girls have just as good sticks as the boys do.”

The club’s elected officers are Schmidt, president, and Thilmany, vice-president. Parker Jacques is the out-going president. Schmidt and Jacques are the only

members who’ve been with the team all three years.

Thilmany gave the White Bear Lake program one of its top highlights so far, when he caught the biggest bass at the 2016 Clearwater meet, a 4.81-pound large-mouth.

Thilmany, who’s also a hockey and trap-shoot team member, was asked what lends to success on the lakes and rivers. “A positive mental attitude is one of the biggest things (about fishing),” he said. “If you’re not catching any fish you can’t just give up. Just figure out what is happening.” He added that slower bait worked much better than faster bait on this particular day.

The team’s jerseys, like those of race-car drivers, are covered with sponsor logos, some local, some national, associated with Minnesota Bass. They are light, airy, and long-sleeved, to protect from sunburn.

Fishing does not cause many injuries, other than occasional mishaps with hooks, but boat safety is a paramount concern, and the teams follow Minnesota Bass and DNR guidelines. Last year, a conference meet at Cross Lake was cut short half-way through when a storm came in. “Safety is always number one,” Snyder said. Each two-person team has a coach or parent in the boat.

The youth are competing to qualify for the state meet Sept. 10 at Washington Lake (near Dassel), either by placing in the top seven in their conference or by getting points for a variety of volunteer tasks. The Bears will host the second of two conference meets, on July 28 at Lake Minnetonka.

All the while they will be bearing in mind that: “A bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work.” — author unknown

Putting made simple Technically speaking, the putting stroke should be the highest percentage stroke in the game because the ball never has to leave the ground. If that’s true, then why do so many people struggle with Tee Time their putting? I think it’s because it’s the only Betsy shot in golf where we are expected to make Larey it. The shorter the putt, the more pressure you put on yourself to make it.

Ever wonder why so many people give themselves (and their playing partners) anything within 3 feet? My guess is they have little confidence in their skills and are mortified at the thought of missing all of those short putts. The biggest disservice you can do to your game is to not putt out every single hole.

The key to becoming a better putter is to make putting simple again – like it was when you were a child. I used to spend hours on the practice green with my friends putting for nickels. I can’t even remember what my putting stroke was like. I do remember that I didn’t spend a lot of time analyzing or rehearsing my stroke. The only thing I thought about was getting the ball in the hole. If you read golf history, you’ll find that all

great putters have one thing in common – they all say they putt like a child.

Think about when you’re putting well.

You’re standing over the ball and you just know it’s going in. Now think about when you’re not putting well. You read the putt, get over the ball and maybe reread it again and second guess yourself.

That ball is not going in the hole.

Adults are too busy doing the math to feel the stroke. I guarantee you that if you are thinking about your score when you putt, you will have tension in your body and your stroke will be very mechanical. Great putters are not mechanical, they are intuitive.

So if you’re struggling with your putting, give these ideas a try.

1. Pay attention to your set up. You should tilt from the hips with a straight spine. Make sure your arms are hanging loosely underneath your shoulders.

Your weight should be balanced, not forward or back. Your eyes should be slightly inside the ball. I like to keep my elbows close to my sides at address.

Feet, knees, hips and shoulders should be parallel. Ball position is just forward of center, so the clubhead is in the middle of your stance.

2. Your putter length needs to fit you. If it’s too long your eyes will be too far inside and you will have to putt with your arms and hands instead of your shoulders. The standard putter is 35

inches, which only works if you’re over 6 feet. Please don’t have it cut down as that changes the swing weight. It’s worth the investment to have one fit to you. I recommend 2nd swing.

3. The club should be held in the palms of your hand, not your fingers. Make sure your palms face each other if you are using a reverse overlap grip, with thumbs straight down on the handle.

This kind of grip gets the top of your forearms aligned along your target line. If your left forearm gets higher than your right, you’ll probably push your putts right. Vice-versa if your right is higher than your left. Your grip pressure should be light, never tight. There should be no tension anywhere in your body. If you feel tension, take a deep breath before you make your stroke.

4. The putting stroke is made on an arc.

If your shaft and forearms are on the same line, the arc happens naturally.

Think of your shoulders as if they were on a wall. Your right shoulder comes off of the wall in the backswing and the left off the wall in the forward swing.

5. The stroke is a combination of shoulders turning, arms swinging and forearms rotating, not wrist action.

Many players have turned to the left hand low grip because they can’t stop breaking their wrists through impact.

It’s not for me, as I think you lose your

feel for distance.

6. The head should stay still during the stroke and for a moment after. My only thought is to keep my eye on the back of the ball. When you do look, tilt your chin to the left and use your eyes only to track the line. Don’t stand up and turn towards the hole with your shoulders.

7. Find a good tempo for your stroke. Say the word one potato two potato during the stroke. It’s simple and it works.

Downhill putts say even, even with a very light grip. I got that from Geoff Magnum, awesome putting specialist.

8. Read the putt from behind the ball, never on the side. Don’t change your mind once you’ve set up. Back off and reread the putt if you’re unsure.

Build up your confidence by making 10 1-foot putts before every round.

You’ll head to the first tee with positive thoughts.

Bears longtime Legion coach notches 2 playoff wins before bowing out

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Joe Janitschke started coaching Legion baseball for White Bear Lake in 1975. He wrapped up his 43rd season with the Bears this past weekend.

“We finished pretty well,” the retired policeman assessed. “We got two wins (in the playoffs). Not bad for having just 12 guys left, out of 18 at the start of the season.”

The Bears entered the Sub-State 8 tournament with a 7-12 record. They beat Lino Lakes 6-1, lost to a strong TriCity Red squad 7-5, beat Tri-City Blue 10-1 to stay alive, then bowed out with an 8-4 loss to Forest Lake after trailing 7-0, all at Castle Field in Anoka.

Janitschke’s first two White Bear Lake teams went all the way to the state finals, finishing runner-up to Grand Rapids in 1975 and St. Cloud in 1976.

White Bear Lake hasn’t been to a state tournament since then.

“I still enjoy coaching them. Things are a little different now but it’s still fun,” said Janitschke.

Alex Swanson ripped a three-run double, keying the win over Lino Lakes.

Trent Schoeberl was winning pitcher, with relief from Scott Shield and Dominic Smith. The Bears rapped 15 hits in the win over Tri-City Blue, with Dan Peterson (3-for-5) and Kevin Walek

(2-for-4) knocking in three runs each.

Shield was winning pitcher, with Smith and Swanson in relief.

Peterson batted .423 for the season, followed by Walek with .390 and Swanson .373. Peterson and Walek each had one homer.

Mahtomedi baseball gains ‘state’ again, gets rematch with Waconia

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORT CONTRIBUTOR

BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Trent Schoeberl of White Bear Lake eyes a pop-up which he ventured off the pitchers mound to catch during an 8-4 loss to Forest Lake.

The Mahtomedi baseball team has earned another shot at Waconia, six weeks after a close loss to the state champions in the high school tournament.

Mahtomedi captured the Sub-State 7 championship by clipping Oakdale twice in the finals on Sunday, qualifying for the state American Legion tournament July 28-31.

And their first-round opponent the Zephyrs drew is Waconia, which beat Mahtomedi 2-1 in nine innings at the University of Minnesota on June 15 and went

on to win the Class 3A championship.

They will duel Friday, 9:30 a.m., at Bethel University.

Mahtomedi, coached by Mark Dornberg, has a 22-7 record.

In the sub-state playoffs, Mahtomedi beat West St. Paul 2-1 and Fridley Gold 8-6, then lost to Oakdale 6-4 in 11 innings.

They regrouped to beat Hamline Purple 12-1 and earn another shot at Oakdale, needing two wins.

Mahtomedi beat Oakdale 11-3 and 5-2, with starting pitchers Grant Taival and Carter Shook getting the wins and reliever Evan Reyes finishing each game.

Bears new activities director well versed for the job

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

When Brian Peloquin was in high school, he “dabbled in a little bit of everything,” spanning sports, music, and academics. That’s a trait that comes in handy with his new job.

Peloquin, 36, is the new activities director for White Bear Lake School District, succeeding Tim Hermann, who served the last seven years and retired in June.

At Chippewa Falls (WI) High School, Peloquin played soccer, basketball and baseball, sang in the show choir (“a combination of singing and choreography”) and competed with math team. He attended Winona State and got his masters degree from St. Mary’s in Winona.

He comes to White Bear Lake after tenures at Mounds View and Irondale. This will be his first A.D. job, where the duties are looking after all extra-curricular student opportunities.

Peloquin was in frequent contact with Hermann after getting the job in February.

“I could tell from the beginning that he and I have very similar beliefs in education-based programming,” said Peloquin, adding that he’s very grateful to his predecessor for all the help.

At Irondale, Peloquin was head baseball coach and,

In accordance with Minnesota DNR guidelines, the volunteers raked and removed decomposing aquatic vegetation that had accumulated on the shoreline.

with wife Breanne, co-head coach of the gymnastics team. A math teacher, he also initiated a senior leadership club called Knights of the Roundtable.

At Mounds View, Peloquin served as dean of students at Mounds View along with coordinating summer school and supervising the Diversity Council and National Honor Society.

“Brian Peloquin brings a wealth of coaching and Brian Peloquin administrative experiences to the position,” said Tim Wald, White Bear Lake South Campus principal. “He will be able to carry on the high expectations Tim Hermann established for student participation, excellence among our coaching staff, and family support.”

Peloquin said Mounds View was a great experience, making him “very particular about the district I was willing to leave for.” But when the White Bear Lake activities director slot opened up, his interest was sparked.

“It was close, another big conference metro school, and had a strong tradition both in its academics and

co-curricular activities,” Peloquin said. “I had visited WBL as a coach, adviser and fan and knew the connection that school had to the community.”

The combination of “pride and tradition, size and proximity” spurred him to seek the job, and the District 624 administration chose him.

What does an activities director, especially a new one, busy himself with in the summer?

Along with “changing the color of my wardrobe” he’s been connecting with the administrative team, coaches, advisers, parents, community members and youth league boards. One prime topic is “discussing how co-curricular programming fits into the larger educational picture for the students.” Fall schedules and budgeting also warrant lots of attention.

“I am sure next summer will feel a little less hectic than this summer,” he said, “but currently it is just jumping on the treadmill that has already started.”

Brian and Breanna have twin boys, Preston and Taylen, 10, and a daughter, Hattie seven.

“They have always been involved in the co-curricular life in the schools I have worked in, and I am certain you will see them around at the many events.”

The new A.D. will be serving under a superintendent who’s also new, Wayne Kazmierczak, who succeeded the retiring Dr. Michael Lovett on July 1.

New board member appointed to lake conservation board

7B

NAMES IN THE NEWS The Office of Ombudsman for Long-Term Care, a program of the Minnesota Board on Aging, recognized 46 Certified Ombudsman Volunteers statewide at a June event in Duluth. Among them was David Odabashian of White Bear Lake. The ombudsman office helps to resolve disputes, complaints and problems relating to quality of care and services, quality of life, rights violations, access to services, service termination, discharge or eviction or public benefit programs.

The Mahtomedi City Council appointed Geoff Ratte as its new representative on the White Bear Lake Conservation District. He succeeds Gene Altstatt, who did not apply for another term.

Ratte is a longtime Mahtomedi resident; he was born in the city and has lived there the last 14 years. In his application, Ratte said he has a home on the lake, so conservation district issues are important to him.

“I am now retired, but I spent my career in the sport fishing business, as sales manager for Water Gremlin,” he wrote. “I served on the board of the American Sportfishing Association, and was involved with their Government Affairs functions for over 20 years. I served for nine years on the Sportfishing and Boating Partnership Council, which is a federal advisory council to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as the Secretary of Interior for all issues relating to sport fishing and recreational boating. I am familiar with the issues.”

Ratte will serve a three-year term, which runs from August 1, 2017 to May 31, 2020.

There are plenty of activities and entertainment to look forward at Friday’s event.

Dakota Clover (formerly Strings n Things) will be in attendance. Dakota Clover was launched from an office jam group. They are

Cities since 2011, including opening for Ann Reed and Claudia Schmidt. They continue to charm the crowd with their smooth vocal harmonies and plethora of instruments.

The Cruisers have been entertaining north metro audiences with excellent, high energy 50’s and 60’s rock and roll for over 20 years.

And they have regaled our Relay For Life for many of those years as well. These local musicians hail from St. Stephen Church in White Bear Lake. As do all our entertainers, The Cruisers donate their services to our Relay, but the proceeds of their paid gigs go toward charitable causes, making them one of the few bands who can truthfully say “We do it for the fun!”

Lou Nosan will be returning Friday to sing our National Anthem again. Lou is a Special Olympics multiple Gold Medalist, a long-standing member of the choir at St. Mary of the Lake and is regularly sought to sing the Anthem at events of all sizes, including our professional stadiums and convention centers.

Dave Lenz is a Minnesota singer, guitarist, songwriter from White Bear Lake. He does acoustic performances playing a wide variety of music. Dave is widely respected for his performance and sound management skills and community involvement. Paired up with Dave will be John Evans. John has been a member of White Bear Lake’s Relay For Life family from the very beginning. He is a widely recognized musician and respected influence in the community.

If you have never attended the White Bear Lake Relay For Life it is surely an event not to miss. There is no way to express in words the amount of love, kindness, and sense of hope that the community shares through this event. Please join us at White Bear Lake Area High School South Campus this Friday July 28th at 6:00 p.m.

Celebrate.

Remember.

Fight Back.

Company installs public bridge to ease creek crossing Earlier this month, Water Gremlin Company installed a nearly 300-foot pedestrian and bicycle bridge near its campus on Otter Lake Road. The bridge, which crosses Lambert Creek and nearby wetlands, will open to the public later this summer.

“We recognized that Otter Lake Road is a high traffic area where pedestrians, bicyclists, automobiles and trucks often share the road,” stated Scott Schulz, Water Gremlin’s Executive Vice President. “We saw this as a real opportunity to improve safety for both the residents of the community and our employees.”

In 2016, that plan was significantly set back when necessary easements and authorization for the intended path location could not be obtained by the parties involved.

The company continues to upgrade and improve its corporate campus, Schulz said. Back in 2013, Water Gremlin and White Bear Township executed a development agreement that facilitated the construction of an 82,000-square-foot facility that was completed in 2014. The new building is located on what was undeveloped land that the company owned to the south of the facility where it’s been located since 1949. Water Gremlin also committed to making several improve-

to create a bike and pedestrian path along a significant portion of Otter Lake Road.

Not being able to use the right-of-way over the wetlands meant a bridge would have to be added, and that would nearly triple the original estimate of the path.

According to White Bear Township Clerk/Treasurer Bill Short, “When things couldn’t come together, we were concerned that the project was not going to come to fruition, but instead they chose to press forward to provide the community with a tremendous asset.”

Schulz added: “It was the right thing to do. Our parent company, Okabe Company, recognized that and they committed to doing it immediately.” When the rest of the path is completed this summer, the bridge will be open for use. The bridge will also be dedicated to the company’s founder and long-time leader, Robert Ratte, who retired and sold the business to the Tokyo-based Okabe in 2005. “Bob grew this business from a small building on the family farm nearly 70 years ago. We hope this will be a lasting legacy for the impact he had on so many people who worked at Water Gremlin over the years.”

Water Gremlin Company began as a supplier of innovative products to the recreational fishing markets. Its expertise in molding lead has now made the company the world’s technological and market leader in lead battery terminals. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Okabe Co. Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Franchisees win trip to Spain White Bear Lake Domino’s Pizza owners Bill and Denise Kruse just returned from Spain, courtesy of Domino’s corporate office, for winning a Gold Franny.

The award, which goes to the top 50 franchise owners in Domino’s world, is the fourth for the couple and partner Dave Miller and includes an all-expenses paid trip. This year the winners were wined and dined in Barcelona. Between the two, Kruse and his partner own eight franchises in Minnesota; White Bear Lake was his first. He bought the business 23 years ago after working 10 years for corporate. Kruse said they’re not big as far franchise ownership goes, but “we’re fortunate to have some of the busiest stores in the Twin Cities market.” And did they enjoy Spain? “Yes,” Bill said. “We took a paella cooking class and visited Seville (it was 105 degrees Fahrenheit), sword shops in Toledo, and Madrid. It was a wonderful trip.” Domino’s has 5500 stores in the United States and more than 14,000 worldwide.

Consider doula services For pregnant women looking for a more natural birth, one option is Embrace Childbirth Doula Service in Vadnais Heights. Kim Williams is a certified birth doula and owner of the new business at 1284 E. County Road E. What is a birth doula? They support women and families during their pregnancy, labor and post-partum. According to Williams, using a doula decreases risk of C-section, use of labor-inducing drugs and other medications and offers continuous labor support. “We reduce interventions that women don’t want or need,” she said. She also provides partner support, placenta services, breastfeeding support and classes and childbirth education. Williams supports all types of birth: non-medicated, medicated, cesarean, Vbac (vaginal birth after a C-section), water birth, hospital, birth center and home births. For more information on Williams’ doula services, visit www. embracechildbirth.com.

Best soft-serve in state The iconic ice cream shop on Fourth Street in White Bear Lake has another claim to fame. BuzzFeed staff list Cup and Cone as the top soft serve in the state.

What keeps people coming back? The twisted flavors, reads the online post. BuzzFeed listed what it considers the best soft serve in all 50 states, plus Washington, DC, based on a ranking from users of Yelp, which

measured the most popular soft-serve destinations in the country using an algorithm that looked at number of reviews, plus the star rating for every soft-serve spot on the list.

Tearoom closes, will reopen under new owner Avalon Tearoom & Pastry Shoppe has been sold. A phone message said the restaurant in Avalon Mall has been purchased by a new owner who plans to open sometime in August. Until then, the tearoom is closed.

Former owner David Miller reopened the tea room Feb. 1, 2016 after remodeling the interior to give it a more casual look. The restaurant was listed for sale on Craigslist in May.

Songbird opens retail space London-born singer/songwriter Katy Vernon has been a White Bear Lake resident for almost a dozen years now and is thrilled to be unveiling her new retail space “Songbird Treasures,” as part of the eclectic and creative store “Sweet Home” in White Bear Mall.

Join Vernon to see her handmade jewelry, hats, accessories, plus curated and up-cycled treasures at an open house 5 p.m. on Friday, August 11 at 2186 Third St., Suite 109, White Bear Lake.

She will also perform a few songs from her most recent CD.

Funeral home makes it easier to lend a helping hand Mueller Memorial has announced a crowdfunding service, developed in partnership with GoFundMe, that allows friends, families and loved ones to make monetary contributions to families who have experienced a loss, right from its funeral home website.

Their goal, according to a news release, is to enable families to work directly with Mueller to start, monitor and benefit from crowdfunding without having to use a third party. The program, trademarked “With a Helping Hand,” is being offered to families in the White Bear community.

“More and more families have turned to us in recent years asking if our funeral home offers a crowdfunding option,” said Taelor Johnson, director of community relations for the 71-year-old funeral home.

The new feature is part of a continued commitment to providing families complete control over their Book of Memories online memorial tribute pages on Mueller’s website, added Johnson. Families will be able to monitor campaigns directly from their online

Putting boaters in their place

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A couple guys who spend a lot of time on the lake have an idea for a boat park.

Their objective is two-fold: To move people away from the tip of the Dellwood peninsula and the homeowner tired of the partying at the end of his dock; and to offer boaters a better place to socialize.

The two friends, Luke Michaud of White Bear Township and Pat Igo of Gem Lake, approached the White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) July 18 with their plan. With the district’s blessing, they plan to go to Ramsey County commissioners for permission since the park would be on county property.

“We’re trying to figure where people are supposed to be on the lake,” Igo told the WBLCD board.

A boat park next to Ramsey County beach would be an ideal place, he said, showing the board a map with buoys marking parking and entry points.

There is one problem. The area is brimming with vegetation so someone may need to clear it. Who or what that entity might be remains undetermined.

Michaud observed that the area was all sand years ago and if “a fraction of the boats congregate there instead of the end of the peninsula, the agitation and movement on the lake bottom would clear the weeds out in a year.”

As for the referred to shallow area at the end of the peninsula famous for drinking and loud music, Michaud said the former property owners didn’t seem to mind. They weren’t home a lot and didn’t much care about the large congregation of boats, he told the board. For the new owner, it’s a nuisance.

That homeowner, Russ Becker, approached Igo to see if the lake regular could help fi nd boaters a new gathering place. Igo keeps a pontoon at the marina and calls himself the “unofficial mayor on White Bear Lake.” He’s also the guy driving the motorized picnic table repurposed from a paddle boat.

Igo, a former Gem Lake City Councilman, felt the

boat park plan had merit and brought the concept to Michaud, who used to serve on the WBLCD board.

The area next to the county beach is “a natural place for this activity,” Michaud said. “People could put up volleyball nets and make noise.”

Added Igo, “I just want to make sure everyone has a great time on the lake and boaters have a place to go.”

Their next step is to contact County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt to get her thoughts on the idea and where to fi nd possible sources of funding.

Pat Igo of Gem Lake is spearheading the boat park idea.

White Bear Lake boaters may know him from his unique picnic table pontoon. He is shown operating the tiller with unidentified passengers.

The Mahtomedi City Council conducted the following business at its July 18 meeting: • After a public hearing, amended the Fee Schedule to include a chicken keeping permit fee of $50 to be renewed every five years. The fee is consistent with what other communities are doing, City Administrator Scott Neilson said.

• Approved a request from property owners of a single-family home at 1132 Park Avenue, located in the R-1 Historic District for two Conditional Use Permits (CUP) and two variances. The two CUPS would allow for an 11-foot front setback and a zero-foot rear setback for a principal structure in the district. One variance would allow construction on a lot that is 4,665 square feet in size where 6,240 square feet is required. The other variance would allow impervious coverage of 51 percent in the Shoreland Overlay District where a maximum of 35% is required. The property is on a 100-year old plat with configurations not typically seen in a similar neighborhood, City Engineer Monica Heil said. A public hearing was held at the most recent Planning Commission meeting with no public comment.

• Approved, with a number of conditions, a request from Paul DeWitt of DeWitt Homes for rezoning from A-Agriculture to R1-B Low Density Residential and a preliminary plat in order to develop the property located at 855 Arcwood Road into nine single-family lots, to be known as the Cedarleaf Subdivision. “This is not the end of the review process,” Heil said. For example, the city would need the Construction Plan Review for a start, Heil said.

“There is a series of checks built in to the process,” she said.

• Approved a resolution regarding the sufficiency of a Petition for a Local Improvement on Quail Street, related to extension of utilities. On June 9, property owners at 1610 and 1651 Briarwood Avenue and 231 Quail Street petitioned the city for a public improvement project providing for the extension of water and sanitary sewer utilities to those properties.

• Authorized the feasibility report for Petition for Utilities on Quail St. The work would coincide with the feasibility report being prepared for the Briarwood Area Streets Project scheduled for 2018. The feasibility report will recommend the appropriate course of action regarding the improvement issues, including estimated costs, proposed assessments and timelines. Heil said that her engineering staff anticipated delivering feasibility reports for both the utilities and streets only projects to council this coming fall.

• Approved Construction Pay Voucher No. 1 in the amount of $27,600 to Peterson Companies, Inc. for the Triangle Park Improvement Project.

• Approved Construction Pay Voucher No. 11 in the amount of $167,900 to T. A Schifsky and Sons, Inc. for Phase 2 Historic District improvements.

• Approved Construction Pay Voucher No. 2 in the amount of $220,800 to T. A. Schifsky and Sons, Inc. for CSAH 12 improvements.

• Gave permission to advertise for bids for Katherine Abbott Park Phase 2 improvements. This project is part of the 2017 Capital Improvement Plan.

• Approved a request from St. Jude of the Lake Church, 700 Mahtomedi Avenue, to hold a gambling activity as well as sell beer and wine at the annual Corn Fest to be held on Saturday, September 9.

• Approved the Master Contract Agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT).

• Approved Ricoh copy machine purchases from Metro Sales, totaling $18,200 for all three city locations, according to State of Minnesota contract pricing.

The purchase was budgeted in the 2017 Equipment and Building Replacement Fund.

• Approved a new maintenance agreement with the Rice Creek Watershed District to inspect and maintain existing storm water basins in the Wedgewood Addition.

• Presented the 10-Year Service Award to firefighter Peter Scholl. Council also appointed Ken Bell as Fire Department Captain and approved the completion of the probationary period for new paid, on-call firefighter/EMT Molly Speltz before conducting a swearing-in ceremony for her.

• Presented a plaque of appreciation to retiring Public Works Director Bruce Thielen.

“I’ve had a 38-year career in public service, serving on county boards, commissions and city councils.

By far and away you guys have been the best to work with,” Thielen told council.

• Received a certificate of appreciation from Lake Links Co-Chairman Steve Wolgamot, who praised Mahtomedi for being the first city to show support for the trail project.

• Scheduled a public hearing pertaining to the Preliminary 2018 Budget for September 5 at 7 p.m.

The council next meets at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 2 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

Adventure awaits as Peter Pan comes to Lakeshore Players The Summer Youth Players of Lakeshore Players Theatre are presenting their original script—“Peter Pan-In Our Own Words!” July 28 through August 6.

The Summer Youth Players (SYP) day camp is an opportunity for teens who have completed grades 6-12 to participate in all aspects of a theatrical production. Members of the student cast have written this year’s script, and the ensemble has been digging into the text, using the script as a platform to strengthen theatrical skills.

A typical day starts at 9 a.m. with warmups, games and then rehearsals. The afternoon session is devoted to the technical side of the production—building and painting the set, sewing costumes, lighting, sound, and all the other parts that

make a show. This 26-year strong program will culminate in six performances of a fully realized theatrical event. Lakeshore Players Education Director Aaron Fiskradatz returns for his sixth year of SYP. This full production is complete with an original set, props, lighting, sound and costumes, all created by the students with help from professional theatre artists.

Along the way, there have been games, tips, humor, action and a refusal to ever grow up.

Tickets are $12 or $10 for students and seniors. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays.

AARON FISKRADATZ | SUBMITTED Lakeshore Players Theatre is located at Starring in the comedic adventure “Peter Pan – In Our Own Words!” are from left, 4820 Stewart Avenue in White Bear Lake.
