Live music fans lose a downtown venue BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Wednesday night fans of the John Evans/Dan Perry duo at The Station Pub in White Bear Lake have one last chance to hear their music. The restaurant and event center is under new management effective end of July and live music is not part of the plan, according to Evans, who got the news last week. “I sold a business too, so I understand,” said the former owner of Evans Music. “They’ve made business decisions and they need time to work things out under their own model.” Evans wants to thank Jake and Kate McKeague for “putting their money where their mouth was in terms of the importance of music in this community.” The McKeagues are transitioning out of the business, according to Jake, who co-founded the restaurant and bar in 2007 with Brian Farrell. “We haven’t sold the business. Kate and I just aren’t going to be involved anymore and it will be under new management.” Farrell, who owns the building, remains part owner of the business that will include his brother and that brother’s brother-in-law, Brian Johnson. “Kate and I are training in a new manager (Johnson) who will eventually become a partner,” McKeague said. “He is going a different direction with the restaurant. As a result, live music is done at the end of this month.” Although surprised at the announcement, Evans is grateful to The Station for a “wonderful run” the

Commissioners find dog beach busy on steamy night BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Zoey the labrador wants the city to know she never meets unfriendly playmates at the dog beach and her owner makes sure she doesn’t use the lake or surrounding area for a “bathroom.” “I hope I can continue to play there with my doggie friends,” Zoey wrote in an email to Public Works Director Mark Burch and members of the Parks Commission. Ever since complaints were voiced at City Hall, emails to Burch have poured in regarding the dog park. Most offer solutions that are creative and realistic about use of the beach for canines, he said. One of those emails was from Zoey’s owner, Frances Kaliszewski, who moved to a senior citizen complex with no access to a lake. When Kaliszewski discov-
ered the designated “doggie beach,” they started making daily car trips for play time. At a meeting July 21 with parks commissioners, Burch went over some of the issues they should consider regarding the park, like tags (user fees), capacity, signage and location. The City Council had asked the advisory board to make a recommendation as to changes, if any, that should be made in response to noise and off-leash complaints by several Lake Avenue residents. Commissioners met at Matoska Park for a first-hand look. Burch and Parks Division employee Mike Natterstad explained to the members that designated areas at the beach shifted as the water receded and land was lost. Then the cattails moved in, crowding the area even more. One plan, they said, is to apply for a Department of SEE PARK COMMISSION, PAGE 8A

• Appointed new school board member Stacey Stout. Stout will be up for election in November, as she was appointed by the district through an application process, not elected by residents. Previous board member Mary Jo Deters resigned before her term was up, so the district appointed a board member in the meantime. • Approved its 2016-2017 preliminary budget. The revenue total is $59.3 million and the expenditures $55.9 million. About $13 million, or 22 percent, of its revenue comes from property taxes. State aid accounts for about $43 million, or 73 percent of revenue. Federal aid, student activities and miscellaneous account for the remaining $3 million, or 5 percent. • The district plans to spend $37.9 million in its general fund 2016-2017, including $29.8 million in salaries and benefits, or 79 percent of the total general fund. $1.4 million is planned to spend for food service, $1.7 million for community service, $4.2 million for construction, $4.9 million for debt service, $5 million for propriety funds and $700,000 for additional trust funds and debt service. • Approved a mandatory school lunch price increase of 10 cents per meal. The increase brings the school up to national guidelines. • Approved a 10-year long-term facilities maintenance plan. The district plans to spend $567,000 in 2017, $889,000 in 2018, about $1.2 million in 2019 and 2020 and about $1.3 to $1.4 million each year from 2021 to 2026. Sara Marie Moore

Striving for academic excellence BY NOOR QUREISHY PRESS INTERN
An increase in GPA from a 1.90 to a 3.90 or even to a 4.0 is almost unheard of, unless said student is part of the STRIVE program. Students in the lower or middle third of their class who sign up for the STRIVE program – which stands for Students Taking a Renewed Interest in the Value of Education – promise to come to school regularly, take advantage of the resources provided to them, and commit to the program. Around 35 out of 50 students who initially sign up for the program stick with it and enjoy tremendous academic success even if they don't experience a drastic 2.0 increase in GPA. The White Bear Lake Rotary Club's STRIVE scholarship races help provide crucial funds to support students in the STRIVE program, the most recent of which is a 5K/10K run on Aug. 6 at the Boatworks Commons. The STRIVE program offers scholarships and mentorship opportunities to students who improve their cumulative GPAs significantly in their senior year of high school. The student who improves their GPA the most wins a full-
year scholarship to Century College and money for books. Around 8-10 runner-up cash scholarships from $500-2,000 are also awarded to students every year. The STRIVE scholarship summer race, sponsored by Taco John's, is one of three races the White Bear Lake Rotary Club holds every year to raise money for the program. The Rotary Club first got involved with the STRIVE program in 1993, when the program won the McKnight Humanitarian Award. Don Mooney, former member of the Rotary Club and founder of the STRIVE program shared his vision with the club, and since then, they've partnered together and hosted events like races and fundraisers to gather funds for STRIVE. “The races we put on are very important to the lifeblood of keeping STRIVE financially sound...if we didn't have the income from the races we wouldn't feel as good financially,” Mooney said. STRIVE's foundation as a program was originally built with money from these races. Runners make checks out directly to STRIVE in order to participate, and the sponsors – Wells Fargo for the spring race, Taco John's for summer, and Kowalski's for fall – pay for most of the cost of the races.

Runners participate in the STRIVE scholarship race earlier this year.
a hundred runners participate in each race every year. Although the races were first held over 20 years ago, they still raise a significant amount for the STRIVE scholarship. “[We started having races] years ago when there weren't that many races put on, and it's still a good way to raise money...we have a good core group of runners that come out and support us,” said Dale Grambush, member of the White Bear Lake Rotary Club and secretary of STRIVE Corporation.
The White Bear Lake Rotary Club has provided speakers, books, test materials, and team building activities for the STRIVE students in the past. Some of the money raised from the club's primary fundraiser of the year, Taste of White Bear Lake, also goes to the STRIVE scholarship program.

Zombie Apocalypse Pokémon
F
or many parents summer is a time to battle with kids about spending more time outside versus holing up indoors watching TV or playing video games. Well – the kids are getting out this summer! In just the past couple of weeks the world has gone crazy for Pokémon Go. This augmented reality game takes us to a new level of gaming from indoors to anywhere. Augmented reality makes the player feel like they are right in the game by using a phone’s video camera to bring in live video of the players surroundings. The player’s location is pinpointed through GPS. As a player travels along a road or sidewalk, icons called PokéStops appear on the map, and as the Publisher’s player gets close enough they can tap the icon to spin it and receive View Pokéballs and other special powers. Carter Johnson The real-time action gets the user to want to keep going – one of the gamers on our staff said he put on miles trying to find more Pokémon and win balls to level up. I’ll admit it—our family fell into it after three days of being rejected trying to download it because of high demand. Our 9-year-old son collected several Pokémon on the golf course Sunday. He quickly moved up to level 3 whereas his sister is at level 6. It’s been called the biggest in gaming history, getting its start in Japan. Here at the Press, the historical printing press in front of our building is a PokéStop. Neighborhood hot spots like Cup and Cone, local beaches, and city hall are ‘gyms,’ where battles take place and you can fight other teams. I have to give the game creators a little credit, as there could be an educational element as players visit the historical markers that are PokéStops throughout our communities. Parents could require kids to read all of the historical markers as they pass by to gain Pokéballs; though I’m guessing that would put a damper on the frenetic pace of the game. We asked for it—the kids are outside. They have become zombies who are controlled by the Pokémon game creators. We have heard about car crashes, pedestrian accidents and people being lured into back alleys to find Pokémon and getting mugged. The other day I saw a kid zoom by our office on his bike, laser-focused on his phone. We all need to be more aware as we are out driving around town of the kids, teenagers, adults and even retired folks out playing Pokémon Go and not paying a lot of attention to their surroundings. As we experiment with augmented reality games, it scares me to no end where this is going—from the dark side of the net to generations of people who don’t know or care what a rose smells like. So if it intrigues you, give it a try to understand how it works. But also watch out for the zombies roaming our streets. This particular game is a craze that might not outlast radio, newspapers or TV, but it will surely change the gaming world. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

Middle-class Minnesotans in a healthcare vice
L
ast month, Blue Cross and Blue Shield announced that they would no longer sell individual insurance policies in Minnesota. That will put an additional 100,000 Minnesotans out of insurance in January. On August 1, we will find out which of the remaining plans will show double-digit increases again. The economic insecurity visited upon middle-class has Legislator Minnesota reached an imminent crisis in Lingo health care. The political class Matt Dean (those protected by government programs, large companies or unions) have largely been immune due to exemptions, lobbyists and denial — until now. The panic and insecurity of not being able to get care doesn’t impact many of us. The poor have Medicaid. The elderly have Medicare. Big companies, unions and other groups protect most of us from that insecurity. But for how long? Many of those 100,000 folks who are losing coverage already had the rug pulled out from underneath them when they lost their small group coverage at work, or a retirement plan that got eliminated. Others lost the doctor and plan that they were promised
The economic insecurity visited upon middle-class Minnesota has reached an imminent crisis in health care. they could keep when UCare and Preferred One were forced out of the private market. Other small businesses dropped coverage, 140,000 lost plans that were no longer legal under Obamacare because of new mandates, and an ever growing number of folks are being pulled out of private insurance and put on a government plan. Last year, Blue Cross hiked rates 50 percent across individual plans. Policy holders were wondering if they could go up any more this year and were shocked to fi nd that policies were eliminated entirely because Minnesota’s biggest insurer can no longer afford to write a policy for individuals. If you’re a married 62-year-old machinist making $30 an hour, you can’t afford a policy and deductible that adds up to $24,000 a year. That math doesn’t work. It’s now illegal to not have insurance, so that’s not an option either. Many believed they were protected by a government plan, or a big company plan, or union. But now that’s changing too. The very folks who were pushing for the Affordable Care Act now fi nd
themselves in the same soup as those who were fighting against it. Union members, physicians, retirees, and even some government employees are feeling the squeeze with higher premiums, co-pays and deductibles as well as loss of coverage entirely. Many large companies are dropping coverage and paying the fi ne as the only way to keep their doors open. Middle-class families are being crunched with medical costs or denied care, while jobless folks from other states can get premium health care here at absolutely no cost by merely stating their intention to move to Minnesota. Hard working Minnesotans can’t get out of the health care vice, and many politicians are surprised by how alienated middle-class people feel right now. It should come as less of a surprise as more unions, government employees and big businesses feel the effects of the policies they created. Middle-class Minnesota says, “Welcome to my world” as the political class begins to get a taste of Obamacare. A system which protects a shrinking minority at the expense of others will not survive.

Avoid a ride on the summer slide
ummer is about half over — leaving some parents wondering where the time went . . . and others wondering how much time is left before their little darlings get back to school and into a predictable routine. When parenting children of any age, it is natural to be both invigorated and exhausted by summer vacation, according to Rachel Cain, Director of Outpatient Mental Health at Northeast Youth & Family Services. She notes that in addition to the pressure to “get out and have fun,” there are constant reminders to parents to provide stimulating activities for kids to keep them from the dreaded “summer slide” — the loss of academic skills many children experience over the summer. This deficit is even more dangerous for kids who are already behind their peers in school. And while maintaining academic skills is important, social skills can also decline over the summer. Kids who struggle making and keeping friends during the school year often have fewer opportunities to work on these skills over the summer. This
is especially true for children whose families can’t afford summer enrichment opportunities like camp or sports programs. This pressure to offer both a fun and an educational summer can feel overwhelming to parents who often need a little unstructured free time themselves. However, Cain says there are some practical and easy ways to enrich your family’s Movers and summer experiences without feeling like Shakers you’re adding to an Jerry Hromatka already overloaded “to do” list. She stresses that everyday activities like going to the grocery store or library offer great opportunities to role model polite and helpful behavior while also learning something new. Our children learn most from watching what we do. If we say please and thank you, they are more likely to adopt this behavior. In the coming weeks, remind them to open doors for
There are some practical and easy ways to enrich your family’s summer experiences without feeling like you’re adding to an already overloaded “to do” list. others, or say thank you to the person behind the checkout counter. They will also benefit from the kind looks and smiles they might get from the people they help. Here are a few more ways to keep kids engaged over the summer: At home, younger kids can work on their math skills in the kitchen while helping feed the family. Bake a favorite treat but double the recipe. Your child might be highly motivated to do the calculations if the result is a double batch of brownies. When running weekly errands, give kids a calculator while going shopping so they can keep a running total. Or have them round up prices in their heads and estimate the total bill. Planning a vacation? Let an older
child help. Give them a budget and ask them to research the best deals on hotels, entertainment, gas and other costs. The experience might be educational in more ways than one. And fi nally — volunteer! It is a great way to interact with others and develop empathy at the same time. NYFS’ Senior Chore program always needs volunteers to help seniors live independently in their homes. Volunteermatch.org has thousands of volunteer opportunities for individuals, groups and families. Volunteering gives youth a sense of belonging to their community and a greater understanding of their power to help others. These are just a few ways to incorporate enrichment activities into what you are already doing instead of adding an extra layer of time and expense. Both of those things can feel like they are in short supply at this point in the summer. Lastly, if you’re still struggling, take heart. School starts after Labor Day for most students. Jerry Hromatka is president & CEO of Northeast Youth & Family Services.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Out of bounds
I was very disturbed and extremely disappointed to see the front page article on the St. Anthony Police Officer residing in my town on July 13 (Vadnais Heights Press). There’s a reason police officers have their contact information unlisted, and it crossed the line for me. I know that a specific address wasn’t given, but Vadnais is not a large town. I also realize that this is an emotionally charged issue, that it is made out to be racially motivated as our esteemed governor would have you believe, but the media frenzy gives a narrow and controlled view to the public, and hence an appearance of guilt, or it wouldn’t be newsworthy. I had hoped that my community newspaper was above that. Don’t get me wrong, any time a life is cut short, it is a tragedy. But this unfortunate conflict was elevated and was a contributor to the taking of the lives of five officers in Dallas and perhaps Baton Rouge. What was the motivation to run this disclosure? Of what business is it for anyone to know where you live? The obvious answer is to those who would retaliate. It put at risk the safety for the officer’s family, his neighbors, the officer and his community. Robert Morse Vadnais Heights
Safer walking for Chautauqua neighbors On Saturday, July 30, beginning at 9 a.m., several of us from the Chautauqua Neighborhood will be building a NeighborWay – a public path across private land – behind the Ramsay Building at Mahtomedi Avenue and Quail Street. This path, made possible by the generosity of Ramsay and Associates and the Ramsay family, will enable children and other pedestrians to reach the newly extended Streetcar Trail without having to walk on the dangerous shoulder of Mahtomedi Avenue. The work will be easy – simply spreading wood chips
to create the path – and a modest lunch will be provided. The entire project will not take more than a couple of hours. We would very much appreciate the help and involvement of anyone who believes in safe places for children to walk. This path is a purely private project, created with no financial support from the city. It is, we believe, an example of how people working together can make their community better. Please join us. More information is available by emailing us at kwolgamot@comcast.net (subject “trail”). We hope to see you there to complete the trail and celebrate a new asset for our community. Steven and Karen Wolgamot Mahtomedi
Depriving senior citizens Many senior citizens watch church services on Comcast channel 14. Many have mobility issues or are in care facilities and at the end of their lives. Yet this opportunity was yanked away from them. In a meeting only posted on an employee entrance, the cable commissioners, including the city of Grant’s commissioner, Jeff Huber, called a special meeting on July 18, 2016, and voted to shut down religious channel 14 and public channel 15 at that 5:30 p.m. meeting. The short agenda included a new organizational chart and typed written motion to eliminate those channels. Interestingly, three hours earlier several staff members, including the director of operations, were laid off before the vote. Prior to this there was no termination resolution passed. No other alternatives were discussed, such as allowing producers to record on their own equipment and submit the DVDs, which would add no cost to operations. This was never brought before the Grant City Council for a vote. Since when does one council member solely determine policy for the council? I also attended the Mahtomedi council meeting and
that was the first they heard of it. This reminds me of the story “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” Huber has been upset with my “All Around Grant” cable and YouTube show because I promote transparency in government and am against back room deals. Is this the type of governance the citizens of Grant want or deserve? Loren Sederstrom Grant
Peaceful dignity like King I appreciated Sara Marie Moore’s editorial “On racism,” which appeared recently in many Press editions. She talked about bullying and harassment of a young Hmong high school student and his family. The boy reacted at first to the bullying with violence. Moore’s suggestion of learning to react to racism not with violence but with “peaceful dignity” struck a chord with me. That would be the response of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi. Those two men demonstrated the revolutionary power of nonviolence to transform society. I agree with Moore. And King. And Gandhi. To combat racism and hatred I say Yes to “peaceful dignity” – demonstrations and other nonviolent means. No to bricks and guns. Mary Santi White Bear Lake
Endorsement for commissioner seat I recommend Cheryl Anderson for the County Commissioner seat in District 2. As a business owner for over 19 years and an involved member of the community, she would be an excellent advocate for the residents in our community. Kathy Nelson Birchwood

White Bear Lake man sentenced to prison for fatal stabbing WHITE BEAR LAKE – Joseph James Derks, 22, of White Bear Lake was sentenced to nine years in prison Monday for a fatal stabbing last summer. Derks pled guilty to fi rst-degree manslaughter, reports Dennis Gerhardstein of the Ramsey County Attorney's Office. The jury trial involving his case in April was canceled after Derks pled guilty March 28.
Derks pled guilty to fatally stabbing Robert Darren Olson, 47, a family friend, inside a house on Crown Hill Court Aug. 6. Olson was choking his brother and Derks stabbed him multiple times in the back because he wouldn't let go, states the criminal complaint. Derks also accidentally stabbed his brother in the process. The complaint reports that Derks told police he had stabbed Olson in
the back of the head and thought he had killed him. Officers found Olson in a pool of blood in a house basement. He was found with a weak pulse but died before paramedics arrived. He had a large wound across the back of his head and neck as well as smaller cuts across his neck and back. Court records show Derks has prior misdemeanor convictions for theft, marijuana possession, underage con-
sumption and obstructing the legal process. Olson also had a criminal history, including convictions for burglary, vehicle theft and drug sale and possession. He also was convicted of aiding and abetting murder, but the conviction was later overturned. Sara Marie Moore
PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF SWAT Team visits Marketfest The Ramsey County SWAT Team was at Marketfest for Public Safety Night July 21. The team displayed gear it uses for high-risk law enforcement and gave attendees the chance to try on their bullet-resistant vests. Mike Sellner, a White Bear Lake police officer who is also on the SWAT team, said many of the incidents where the SWAT Team are called in are for high-risk warrant services. The SWAT Team uses a variety of means to arrest high-risk suspects who have a weapons history. The SWAT Team has robots which can go into a house or building to locate the suspect. Door rams open the building, ballistic shields protect SWAT Team members, and flash bang devices disorient the suspect. SWAT has a variety of means to stop a dangerous suspect in his tracks – a bean bag gun, a gas gun and if needed, an AR-15 rifle. Sara Marie Moore

Real estate Trends What Everybody is saying!
In the past articles I have concentrated on showing you the In’s and Out’s of buying and selling a home, and the importance of working with a GREAT Realtor. It is with humble gratitude I want to pass along to you what my past clients have said about me, my service and the wonderful experience they had with me and my team, so here we go…. “Just would like to say that I love working with Don Wolkerstorfer. He is very knowledgeable and always kept me informed of the process at all times. I have used his sales expertise a few times along with other members of my family. I will continue to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a real estate professional. Don is like part of the family.” Robin “Don helped us find the absolute best home for our family. He was patient and showed us approximately 40 homes over the course of weeks. His greatest strength was his knowledge of home building and repair. He was able to identify any issues in the home as well as estimate potential costs for repair/replacement. This was extremely helpful in making our decision whether or not to buy a home.” Frank & Jane “Thank you for helping me achieve this goal…reducing the stress and making it overall easy and enjoyable. Really appreciate your knowledge of all things and your patience. THANK YOU.” Michelle “Mr. Wolkerstorfer was exceptional all the way around. Would and will refer and use his service again. Love the software Coldwell Banker Burnet has to keep everyone in the loop as far as showings, web activity, inspections, etc.” Justin
“Don also provided additional recommendations far beyond what I expected or requested.” Patricia “Thank you so very much for successfully pulling us two older generation sellers through the current home selling/buying process. Your advice and strategy suggestions were highly valuable for us. “ Tim & Becky “Without a doubt you are the perfect Realtor. Maybe you gave me special treatment, but I don’t think so. I am sure you take care of all of your clients with the same warmth and caring that you did for me. I felt your kindness and thoughtfulness in every phase of our dealings and thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. You can “bet your boots” that I will recommend you to any friend of mine who might be considering selling their home.” Mrs. T “Don is extremely knowledgeable about home construction, as well as every other aspect of the housing market. He really made purchasing our first rental property an incredibly positive process.” Rusty & KIm “After 23 years in my home, it was a heavy decision for me to sell, but you were there to hold my hand each step of the way. I could not have made a wiser choice in trusting you through it all. With your competent guidance everything went perfectly. My house sold quickly, and we were able to work together in finding a new place for me to be comfortable in calling it “home”. You know your business, you understood and listened to me. You were there for me every time I had questions and needed an answer. You were thorough, professional and personable. It was truly a joy to work with you. I would without reservation, recommend you to anyone contemplating any real estate need.” Kathy
“I would like to take a little of your time to tell you how happy my wife and I are to have been so fortunate to get Don Wolkerstorfer as our real estate agent. His professionalism and know how as a Realtor is by far the best I have seen for the times that I have to deal with Realtors. I was very apprehensive of all Realtors. When we met Don he was very professional as well as personable. He instilled confidence in me that he would take care of all our wants and needs as the consumer. As time went by, our confidence grew and I felt very comfortable in all that was going on with the sale of our house. The consistent follow ups we received left us feeling comfortable. Don has a quality in him that cannot be surpassed. His concern as well as his hard work deserves to be rewarded by all who work with him. “ Mr. & Mrs. D “The entire process was seamless. Don had to work remotely with me, as I was out of the state. Once he got in the house, he owned it and took care of everything. Every time I would offer some input, he was already aware and taking care of it. His office was exceptional as well, very responsive, very informative, very friendly. I had no worries one Don took over and within days I had an offer and the deal was done. I’m hoping the neighbors in that area took note of his sign and the speed in which the house sold and use him for their next real estate need, he really took the worry out of it.” Melissa Thank you all for making me the #1 Agent in total transactions and total sales volume. They say “I’m One of a Kind in Name and Service! Don Wolkerstorfer “One of a Kind in Name & Service!” #1 Agent Total sales again in 2015!

PARK COMMISSION: Hears food for thought on beach issues at Matoksa FROM PAGE 1A
DEBRA NEUTKENS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Signs like these delineate the area between the swimming beach and the dog park.
Natural Resources (DNR) permit to remove the cattails, move the boat skids and open up the boat launch. “That moves everybody over for the swimming beach,” Natterstad said. “It’s a win-win for everyone.” The city has not yet applied for a permit — that will be up to the City Council — but Burch feels confident one would be granted since the DNR encourages public access for boating and swimming activities. “The DNR allows removal of vegetation to accommodate that,” he noted. As the dog park becomes more popular, capacity should be addressed, Burch said. “Perhaps we should encourage other cities and communities to have dog parks. This is obviously a very popular activity. Look how much

fun they’re having down there. Other communities could have a dog beach to take some of the pressure off this one.” The park is certainly not a well-kept secret among the dog community. Former Parks Commissioner LaDonna Seely attended the informal meeting as an interested party. She provided Burch a list of websites that publicize the White Bear Lake dog park both statewide and nationally, including Ramsey County, Sidewalk Dog, Bring Fido, Dog Goes, Trips with Pets and MJ the Critter Sitter. Even White Bear Subaru lists the dog park as an attraction to White Bear Lake.
Seely was on the commission when it approved the Lake Avenue park in 2007 and voted in favor. She suggested tapping Ramsey County resources to take over the expense and maintenance, which Burch said wasn’t a bad idea. The expense to operate the park is not insignificant. According to the Public Works director, the city spent $1,200 on doggie bags (for excrement disposal). “That is 42,000 doggie bags,” he pointed out. “People don’t just take one; they take a whole bunch to take home. We fill the dispensers in the morning and by afternoon, they’re empty. That is silly. We need to recoup some of that
money.” For now, dogs and people will continue sharing the shoreline at Matoska Park. “Buoys and skids are all rented; people are using the lake again,” Burch said. “As the lake recovers, we hope to get things back the way they were. There will be more demand for the swimming beach. There’s no demand right now. “Should we split up the space to accommodate everyone?” he asked. “These are the issues we should think about.”
Decorum breach at Mahtomedi council meeting BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — Can a mostly peaceful government, such as the Mahtomedi City Council, prevent the vitriol reportedly surrounding its neighbor, the Grant City Council, from oozing over their municipal boundary? If the events of the July 19 Mahtomedi council meeting are any indication, the answer must be “not always.” Council members continued the public hearing portion of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (MS4SWPPP) requirements after Bob Zick, a candidate running against incumbent Chuck Wiger for the District 43 Minnesota Senate seat, used the forum to filibuster his campaign position on pollution, antipathy toward the city of Maplewood, distrust of the Mahtomedi School District and dislike of acronyms. Mayor Judson Marshall eventually summoned the Washington County Sheriff's Office to escort him from council chambers. Zick, a North St. Paul resident, had joined forces with Grant City Council members Larry Lanoux and Loren Sederstrom earlier in the meeting to urge Mahtomedi
to take swift action against the Ramsey/Washington Suburban Community Channels and the local cable commission for eliminating channels and employees without notice.
A sheriff’s deputy arrived to make sure the contingent didn’t drift back into council chambers Council directed City Administrator Scott Neilson to look into cable commission concerns, which may appear on a future meeting agenda. Marshall advised the trio that cable commission issues “are not something we're going to discuss tonight.” Council member Joel Schilling said Lanoux had appeared at Mahtomedi Council meetings several times earlier in conjunction with the MS4-SWPPP required public hearing as a private cameraman for a Mahtomedi resident. Designated as an MS4 community by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Mahtomedi is required to
hold at least one opportunity each year for the public to provide input on the adequacy of the city's SWPPP in storm water education, runoff control, illicit discharge violations and pollution prevention practices. Zick would not leave the podium despite being told that his time was up and that the council would hear no more. The meeting adjourned into a 10-minute recess to wait for Zick, Lanoux, Sederstrom and the private cameraman they brought to film their appearance at the podium to slowly leave. A sheriff's deputy arrived to make sure the contingent didn't drift back into council chambers. Earlier in the meeting, Oakdale Mayor Stan Karwoski briefly announced his candidacy for the vacant Washington County Board of Commissioners District 2 seat, saying he would be going around the city to meet residents and answer questions before the Aug. 9 primary election. Before Zick vacated the podium, he demanded to know why council didn't “kick the Oakdale mayor out.” “He knows how to behave when he's here,” Marshall said.
WHITE BEAR TOWN BOARD NOTES White Bear Township's Town Board conducted the following at its July 18 meeting: • Reappointed Patricia Lee and Peter Nasvik to three-year terms on the Park Board. • Passed resolutions ordering the removal of nuisance vehicles (three apiece) at properties at 5357 Portland Ave. and 1508 Hammond Road. • Approved a permitted use standards permit and 13.5 foot setback variance for a second water cooling tower required by Wilbert, Inc., at 4221 Otter Lake Road, after hearing that Wilbert representatives planned to take steps to address concerns from a neighbor regarding noise pollution from the existing and planned towers. • Received the second quarter construction report, indicating that 317 permits for work valued at $8.7 million had been issued in White
Bear Township for the year to date. Commercial property permits showed a big leap yearon-year, with 10 permits, for work valued at $3.8 million, issued in 2016 compared to six permits, valued at $236,540 for the same period in 2015. • Postponed decision on indicating support for a preferred route or designating existing streets and trails as trail system connectors for planned state and county trails until a joint Park Board meeting of White Bear Lake and White Bear Township in October. • Additionally, at the preceding Economic Development Authority (EDA) meeting, the town board supervisors (in their role as EDA board members) heard that the cost of grading and soil correction on a plot of land sold by the township to Nextern, Inc., had far exceeded the
original estimate of $76,000. As a result, supervisors authorized the release of $68,000 from an escrow account - set up when the land sale took place, due to concerns that the soil correction of the land at Birch Lake Boulevard North and White Bear Parkway might rise once started to Nextern to cover the cost of remediation. Up to an additional $30,000 is earmarked to cover the ongoing correction costs. If the entire sum is paid out, the township stands to make around $65,000 from the original $239,361 sale price of the property. The land had previously undergone clean-up from dumping with a $700,000 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency grant. Louise Ernewein

The house gig was a wonderful, wonderful thing. We’ll surface again somewhere, we just don’t know where yet. Dan and I will step back and take a breath and see where we go from here.” The McKeagues, both White Bear Lake natives, are moving to Florida, Jake said, due to Kate’s Lyme disease. “We want to reduce her stress level in a warmer climate, per her doctor’s advise.” The couple will miss White Bear, added Kate, who managed The Station. “I love this town and we have so appreciated everyone who supported us. It makes me sad to leave these people but we’ll be back to visit and I’m still going to be checking in on this place.” Calling it an insane new adventure, Kate said that she is determined to beat her Lyme disease and turn it into something positive by blogging about her recovery for other Lyme patients. “Instead of feeling sorry for myself,
I’m going to do something with this disease. This gives me a way to go heal myself,” she said, “and my wonderful husband is willing to move. He’s ready for a new project.” They are relocating to Ft. Lauderdale where Kate’s parents, Bob and Yvonne Miller of White Bear Lake, spend the winter, and plan to job hunt when they get there. Kate could see herself bartending poolside during the day; “something simple.” The Station helped raise the bar in White Bear Lake as far as live music, noted Jake McKeague. “This new guy just has to wrap his hands around how unique the place is and what we’ve built. He has his own ideas and so we’re letting him run with it because he’ll be in charge.” Fans are keeping their fingers crossed the music will someday resume. One Wednesday night regular was White Bear resident Rose Kubiatowicz, who plays mandolin with Perry in the band Bandana. She also gave kudos to the McKeagues for “endlessly promoting live music and making The Station the best venue around for regularly featured local musicians.”

Lake litigation holds up dock reinstallation DNR still working on protective elevation level for White Bear Lake
BY LOUISE ERNEWEIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — A dock on the south shore of White Bear Lake won't be reinstalled any time soon despite increasing lake levels. At their bimonthly meeting July 18, White Bear Township supervisors balked at residents' requests to reinstall the Summit Lane dock due to issues stemming from the White Bear Lake lawsuit settlement. "It's a property that has a dock that is currently not there because of the [lake] elevation," said Tom Riedesel, town planner. "As the lake level is [now] rising, we are getting questions asking, 'Are we going to see our dock back? ' The Park Board wanted to establish an elevation at which we would put the dock back in so we can address any phone calls." A review by Park Board members in June had resulted in the recommendation to install the dock once the lake returned to an elevation of 923.5 feet. That fi gure was chosen in light of a report that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) was considering designating a protected elevation of 923.5 feet for the lake. But Barb Naramore, DNR assistant commissioner, said no such figure has yet been defi ned. "It's not our number," she said. "We are still in the process under the terms of the settlement agreement of developing a protective lake elevation, but we don't have a number yet." The settlement agreement requires the DNR to determine a protective lake elevation by Nov. 1, 2016. At its lowest, in 2013, White Bear Lake stood at 918.84 feet, but the township board heard that in May this year, the lake had been measured at 922.06 feet, still a little short of its ordinary high water elevation of 924.89 feet. "Lakes are fundamentally dynamic ecological systems and they benefit from occasional low water levels," Naramore said. "Part of what we are thinking about for a protective lake level is to make sure that the lake is able to drop low enough with some measure of frequency to sus-
tain all of those ecological processes. Sometimes, we do fi nd that's at odds with people's wishes for recreational uses." The current lawsuit fi led against the DNR, White Bear Lake and White Bear Township — albeit on hold to see if the DNR's attempt to win support from the Legislature to fund a feasibility
SOME BACKGROUND: What is the White Bear Lake litigation? A lawsuit brought in 2012 by plaintiff White Bear Lake Restoration Association and intervenor White Bear Lake Homeowners’ Association, Inc. against the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR, defendant) and intervenors White Bear Lake and White Bear Township, alleging that the DNR had violated the Minnesota Environmental Rights Act by failing to protect the elevation of White Bear Lake after the lake levels dropped several feet in a few years. What is the White Bear Lake settlement? An agreement arriving out of mediation between all parties. Highlights include: putting a pause on the litigation for three years (until 2017); in that time, the DNR is to support efforts to explore a surface water supply for area communities; the DNR is to set a protective elevation for White Bear Lake; all parties are to pursue conservation measures. What is the surface water supply plan? Under Phase I of this plan, six communities (Mahtomedi, North Saint Paul, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, White Bear Lake, and White Bear Township) would move from using groundwater to a surface water supply system. Phase II (no timeline yet identified) would see seven additional communities (Centerville, Circle Pines, Columbus, Forest Lake, Hugo, Lexington, Lino Lakes) moving from ground to surface water. What could it cost? Phase I alone is estimated to cost $155-230 million. What are the key dates? Aug. 1, 2016 - DNR-supported legislative proposal to fully fund the feasibility study and design of Phase I needs approval. Nov. 1, 2016 - DNR to have issued protective elevation for White Bear Lake. March 6, 2017 - Provisional date for trial before District Judge Margaret Marrinan if deadlines in the settlement are not met. August 2017 - Target for full construction funding of Phase I.
study into an alternative surface water supply system for 13 north-east metro communities is successful — has made the municipalities reluctant to step out of turn on lake-related issues. "Do we have any conflict on this with the litigation?" asked Town Board Chair Bob Kermes regarding the question of dock reinstallation. "We may want to hold off on this until after the litigation is complete," advised township attorney Chad Lemmons. According to Clerk Bill Short, the materials and labor to build the dock were provided by the Summit Lane Dock Association, a group of local property owners who say that their deeds include use of the access. The land was not originally dedicated as a public park and Short referenced citizens who say that it was originally intended to be a public safety access to the lake for fi re trucks to pull water. After a series of contentious public meetings several years ago, the Town Board agreed to maintain the property. The three town supervisors were unanimously agreed; there would be no action on the Park Board's recommendation, and consequently on the reinstallation of the dock, until a future meeting, although it was not determined whether this would be once the DNR issued its protected elevation level or after the completion of all litigation. Either way, that could take some time. It looks highly unlikely that the Legislature will agree before Aug. 1 to support fi nancially the feasibility study outlined in the settlement agreement. That means all bets are off with regard to previously agreed deadlines (see sidebar) and so citizens waiting to use the Summit Lane dock again could be waiting a while longer. "If — as certainly looks to be the case — we don't have legislative action on this [feasibility study by August], it will be up to all the parties to see if they want to renegotiate the settlement to keep it intact or to proceed with litigation," said Naramore, adding that if litigation proceeded, "I think the DNR and all the parties will need to look at whether they will implement all parts of the settlement."
MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES At its July 19 meeting, the Mahtomedi City Council: • Approved a request from Mahtomedi Independent School District #832 for a variance to install a monument sign on property located at 1520 Mahtomedi Ave. that exceeds the maximum permitted size, height and right-of-way setback requirements. The original sign at the District Education
Center needed to be removed to make way for the Hamline Lake Streetcar Trail. • Scheduled a public hearing for 7 p.m. Sept. 6 to discuss the preliminary 2017 Budget. • Approved a pay increase for city election judges. Judges will see an increase to $10 per hour, and the Head Judge will see an increase to $15 per hour to work the Aug.
9 Primary and Nov. 8 General Elections. • Closed City Hall and its offices from noon to 1:30 p.m. July 21 for the employee picnic. • Approved Construction Pay Voucher No. 2 in the amount of $87,970 for park construction for the Hamline Lake Streetcar Trail Improvements. • Approved Construction Pay

The council next meets at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 1 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. The date change is due to National Night Out occurring on the regular meeting date. Loretta Harding

‘Like dancing in air’ BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Who would have thought there is a World Flyboarding Championship — in Dubai? A White Bear Lake dentist who competes in Flyboarding was invited to the international event last winter. He went as an alternate, but because a guy from Argentina didn’t show, “I got to fly,� said Bruce Haglund, DDS. Dubai, according to Haglund, wants to be the center for extreme sports. While he was there in fact, there was an extreme skydiving event — the World Air Games — going on at the same location. “It was a crazy atmosphere,� noted Haglund, who at 63 was the oldest Flyboarding competitor. Flyboarding uses high-pressure streams of water to propel a person high above the surface of the water while pulled by a Jet-ski. Invented in France about five years ago, Haglund saw a video and emailed the company, which put him in contact with a Minnesota distributor. The White Bear Lake homeowner has been Flyboarding, also called hydro flight in the generic, about three years. To qualify for worlds, Haglund submitted a Flyboarding video to a selection
committee. They picked the top 10 competitors in his over-40 division. He was No. 11, so attended as an alternate. The competition took place in an area of palm-shaped artificial islands off Dubai’s coast. Haglund described it as a Miami Beach with taller buildings. The Minnesota dentist placed 9th out of 10; not bad considering he was the oldest Flyboarder by 11 years. “My goal wasn’t how I placed, but just to be there,� Haglund said. “I’m the Eddie the Eagle of Flyboarding.� A resident of White Bear Lake for five years, Haglund has owned a dental practice in Maplewood since 1977. Some might consider him an adrenaline junkie; he also enjoys sky diving and even has videos flossing while sky diving. It was about his 80th jump. “Everybody needs to find a place in their life to floss every day. It saves money and improves romance. It’s my little thing,� he quipped. “I fell for Flyboarding hook, line and sinker,� Haglund said. “It’s great exercise and tons of fun. It’s like dancing on water. I stumbled into the competition thing because I learned how to do a backflip. Now the best guy is doing a quad (four) backflip. It’s changing rapidly. I barely qualified even as an alternate in my divi-

sion. Of course the guy who won is only 16. He was from Texas.� Injuries are possible. Haglund goes 30 to 40 feet in the air and one time burst a kidney cyst (a common anomaly, he added) when his personal watercraft lost power and he dropped like a rock to the water. “I did a 35-foot belly flop,� Haglund recalled. The equipment expense is comparable
to a second watercraft, added the dentist. It depends on accessories, too. He has a bluetooth control in his hand that throttles the watercraft so no one has to pilot. Not difficult to learn, Haglund enjoys teaching friends and relatives to Flyboard. “It’s like riding a bike. You can get the basics in 15 to 30 minutes,� he said. “I love the sport. I’m surprised no one else on White Bear Lake does it.�

Pokémon GO goes viral

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
The old printing press machine sitting outside the White Bear Press office is a PokéStop – a place for players of the game to pick up virtual Pokéballs to capture Pokémon in the augmented reality game. PokéStops are commonly landmarks or well-known buildings in the real world. Game players can also pick up other tools for the game at PokéStops. One of those items is called a lure. With the lure any PokéStop can lure Pokémon for 30 minutes. A lot of players have passed by the old printing press the last couple of weeks. Pokémon is like a virtual scavenger hunt. Pokémon appear on a player’s phone as they walk through their community. Players can capture them with virtual Pokéballs by being close enough to their GPS location. Players can also get Pokémon eggs at PokéStops to hatch new Pokémon. The free app was released by Pokémon Company earlier this month. It was created by Niantic using information from Google maps. At the most popular spots around town, like Cup and Cone, there are Pokémon gyms. Players who have captured lots of Pokémon are able to use them to battle another players’ Pokémon and claim status as the gym owner if they win. But the point of the game isn’t battling, it is “more about exploring the world,” said Adam Henschell, a 2013 graduate of White Bear Lake Area High School. Henschell downloaded the game July 7, the day after it

was released in the U.S. Henschell remembered playing with Pokémon cards as a child and thought it would be fun to check out the new app game. “I started with the trading card game when I was 10 years old and it has always been a childhood nostalgia thing,” said Henschell. Henschell walked over 20 miles in less than two weeks playing the game. He has explored the Sather Trail and discovered new landmarks in White Bear Lake he previously hadn’t known about. Downtown White Bear Lake has quite a few PokéStops. He has also explored other areas of the Twin Cities, including Forest Lake
and Cambridge. “It’s really an interesting way to give people an incentive to work out,” said Henschell. He and a group of friends plan to get together weekly to explore new areas of the Twin Cities and walk together. “I think it’s a great idea; it’s bringing a lot of people together,” said Henschell. Henschell reminds players to be safe. “Don’t play Pokémon and drive,” he said. “It doesn’t count anyway. The game seems to know when you are traveling in a car. There are already enough people walking into streets not paying attention.”

Guardians of lake want beach re-opened BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — As soon as its attorney signs off on the letter, the White Bear Lake Conservation District will formally request the county to open Ramsey Beach, closed since 2008 due to low water levels. In a resolution approved July 19, the district board, which governs the surface of the lake, said it wanted the beach reopened in the interest of the greater public good. “There’s no way the lake should return to the ordinary high water mark to open the beach,” said Mahtomedi director Mark Ganz. “Our feeling is that at some point there was a budget for Ramsey Beach that’s probably not there anymore. We want to get a letter in now while the county is working on next year’s budget to let commissioners know we want the beach open.” The board’s resolution noted that recreational use of the lake and beach have a dramatic economic effect on the area business
community and as the largest public beach on the lake, provides much-needed restroom facilities and parking for users. “The continuous closure of the beach and its associated facilities has placed undue pressure on other beaches and has impacted non-public areas of the shoreline,” wrote the district board. Members feel the beach could be safely operated again based on current water levels and the need for recreational facilities. It was also pointed out that the lake has risen from a low of 918.8 feet (in 2013) to 922 feet as measured recently. According to the Department of Natural Resources, the ordinary high water level is 924.89 feet. The document called for the county Parks and Recreation Department to reopen the beach for the remainder of the 2016 recreation season in “whatever capacity it is able to do so for the benefit of the taxpayers of Ramsey County, the business and private FILE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS property owners of White Bear Despite a rise in lake level since last year, the beach at Ramsey County remains closed. The White Bear Lake Lake and the greater public good.” Conservation District feels it’s time to rethink that policy.

Thanks to the housewives who gave their pots and pans, to the Boys Scouts of troops 91 and 102 who did most of the gathering, to Mr. P. LeVasseur for the use of his truck, to the sheriff’s office for use of a truck and deputy and last but not least to A. Podvin for furnishing refreshments to the workers…. 1966 The State Highway Department has begun construction of Interstate 35E from the junction with 694 in Little Canada to the north Ramsey county line. Temporary by-passes will be constructed around Edgerton St., County Road E and T. H.

Undefeated Bear basketball squad revisited BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
A visit with Jim Galvin, Joe Regnier and Larry Ogden, to harken back to the high point of White Bear Lake sports history, was on my to-do list when I started contributing local sports stories to the Press earlier this year. Having covered preps since my own high school days in the ‘60s, and witnessed Edina’s three-peat in that decade and all the other basketball dynasties of the past half-century, White Bear Lake’s back-to-back state titles in 1984 and 1985 clearly rank among the greatest, with a combined 52-0 record, the fifth-longest win streak in state history, capped each year by victories over Minneapolis North teams that sent four players to Division I. This past Sunday I was fortunate enough to reach the three gentlemen by phone on my first try for each, with the coach providing numbers for his two Mr. Basketball finalists, to hear some stories and conduct a where-arethey-now inquiry about the participants who are now just shy of 50 years old. “There were so many good players in that senior class (1985) that we had several on the bench, including Joe’s twin brother John, who I think could have made all-conference at other schools,” said Gavin, who retired from coaching in 1998 and from teaching math in 2000. “Yeah, we only played about two and half quarters a game, and then the reserves went in,” said Ogden, whose 1,071 career points and Regnier’s 1,047 rank only fourth and sixth on the Bears’ all-time list, a testament to the team’s depth. Galvin, 73, remains a basketball junkie, coaching youth teams, including his grandchildren, and conducting youth camps on Saturdays while attending many White Bear Lake boys and girls games and venturing to neighboring schools to watch the children of his former players. “Those were two storybook years. I feel so fortunate to have experienced something like that,” Galvin told the Star-Tribune upon his retirement. His record (346-282, including six years at Villard) was a relatively modest 294282 otherwise, with just one more state tournament trip, in 1995, when Minneapolis North demolished them in the first round. “They got some revenge,” he chuckled. Regnier, who lives with wife Sharon in Madison, Wisconsin, and coaches his sons Mike, 13, and Drew, 11, keeps close ties with his prep coach. They attended a Gopher-Badgers game last season. Three decades later the
memories are still sweet. “I’ve played a lot of basketball in my life, in high school, college, and overseas, where I won three more championships, but my favorite years were those two,” said Regnier. “Not just for ourselves, but for the way it brought people together.” The community had two high schools for 10 years with White Bear Lake on the north side dueling the Mariner south-siders in a fierce Regnier rivalry. Mariner had just closed and not everyone was pleased about that. Then came 52 straight wins with White Bear Lake’s big men augmented by some talented guards from Mariner. ‘“We really united the town again,” said Regnier. “At state I think the crowd was about 70-30 (percent) ours. And we got the fire truck rides through town and lunch with the mayor and all that. There was a huge sense of pride.” Galvin said the two state championship teams were zealous about defense and totally unselfish about offense. “The second time we played North they double- and triple-teamed Joe,” said Galvin, “and Joe just kept passing to Dan Perron, who had a big game. A lot of players would have tried to force a shot.” Galvin had a subtle sense of humor. “He’s the funniest man I ever met, without trying to be,” said Ogden. One memorable quip was “I want the kids to observe curfew at all times so they don’t see me leaving the bars.” Galvin headed the Bears from 1972 through 1998 minus two years off to run a business. Galvin and wife LeAnn have a son, Jim, who played on the 1985 team; daughters Andria and Angela; and eight grandchildren. Jim Jr’s daughters, Kendall and McKenzie, were coached by their grandfather in youth ball for six years. “I’m looking for a new team now,” said Jim Sr., adding that more grandkids are coming up the hoops ladder. Regnier, a swift, powerful 6-7 post, and Ogden, a sweet-shooting, smart-passing, slam-dunking 6-5 wing, were among the Mr. Basketball final five, with Brett McNeal of Minneapolis North getting the award. Regnier was the only Bear who went on to stellar posthigh school career, at North Dakota State, where he held team records for points (1,717), rebounds (872) and blocked shots (146) when he graduated, then pro basketball in Australia seven years and Malaysia one year. He is now a

regional sales manager for telecommunications firm Nokia. College basketball “didn’t work out for Larry,” said Galvin. Ogden played baseball four years at Mankato State, mostly first base, and pitched for the Mankato town team. He got a shot at pro ball as a hurler when a Texas Rangers scout figured a 6-5 lefty with mid80s speed might be worth a look. But that venture lasted just three Galvin months as he suffered an arm injury, never leaving the Rangers extended spring training camp. Just a couple classes short of a degree in journalism, he opted instead for the blue-collar world. He spent many years in custodial services in Grand Forks, battling anxiety that started in college, and later alcoholism. About five years ago he “found God” and stopped drinking. With his mom and dad ailing, he returned to White Bear Lake a year and a half ago to care for them; both passed away this spring. Ogden works at Ace Hardware and Leann Chin, and has a goal to start a “sober house” to help alcoholics. Regnier, Ogden and John Parker, a 6-5 center, were three-year starters. Parker, who played some JV basketball at Gustavus Adolphus, was a math teacher before taking over his father’s business running a cemetery. He lives in Lino Lakes, and two of his kids have attended Galvin’s camps. Dan Perron, a 6-4 center, graduated from UM-Duluth and became a highway patrolman, then a DNR official after hurting his back in an auto accident, before returning to White Bear Lake to work for Nelson Marine as a salesman. His daughter Adrianna played for the Bears’ state tournament team this year. The corps of guards those two seasons included Tom Nilsen, Mike Mustar and Stu Hilderman on the 1984 team, and Jim Galvin Jr., Jim Mares, Jim Svenkenson and Scott Stankiewicz on the 1985 team. Jim Galvin Jr. is the only one who became a high school head coach, leading a strong Mounds View football program for 15 years while teaching P.E. Nilsen is a teacher at St. Paul Central. Mustar lives in Mahtomedi and teaches in Stillwater where he’s assistant basketball coach. Hilderman is in sales and lives in Woodbury. Stankiewicz lives in Vandais Heights and Svenkenson in Lino Lakes.

Are you a right or left brain golfer? The best use both
I’m sure many of you have heard the discussion of right brain versus left brain dominance. Left brain individuals tend to be involved in the fields of science and mathematics. They are very analytical, and deal in facts and figures. Right brainers are Tee Time more about the arts and with Coach creative endeavors, and they tend to function best Betsy Larey in areas like marketing and advertising. So what does this have to do with playing golf? More than you think. Prior to the 1960s, there was not a lot of formal golf instruction. In fact, there weren’t a lot of practice ranges. You learned to play golf by going out on the course and just playing. No talk of swing planes, arm angles, holding the wrist hinge and so on. That started to change in the 1970s, along with advances in equipment. If you look at old TV clips of pros like Lee Trevino and Arnold Palmer, you’ll see some unusual looking golf swings. Technically perfect they weren’t, but those guys
knew how to get the ball in the hole. Golf instruction has gotten so technical (left brain) that we have forgotten how important the creative (right brain) side of golf is. I think the best right brain dominate golfer of this era is Phil Mickelson. His touch around the greens is absolutely amazing, and there is no other golfer who can match his ability to imagine shots. I believe you can learn feel and creativity. Unfortunately, most golf instruction these days is totally focused on swing mechanics. What the overly technical approach to instruction ignores is the fact that nothing is static in golf. You never have the exact same shot from the same lie in the same playing conditions twice. I personally feel the best practice sessions take place on the golf course. In an earlier column I suggested that you dedicate one round per week as a practice session. Instead of playing one ball, maybe you skip your fairway shots and drop three balls around the green. Try to hit a chip shot with two or three different clubs. See if you can hit a flop shot with a lob wedge. Try a bump and run with a hybrid.
Open your mind to endless possibilities. I’ve always liked playing a round with 6 clubs. My choice is 5 wood, 5 hybrid, 7 iron, a pitching and a sand wedge and a putter. The majority of players today use some type of distance device. You’ll see right brained golfers walk off their yardages. With plates at 100, 150 and 200 yards, it’s not a difficult thing to do. I prefer walking it because it allows me the opportunity to see the shot I’m about to hit. Another fun way to practice is to ignore playing yardages altogether. See how accurate you are by guesstimating with your eyes. Some people are almost exact while others can be two or three clubs off. The right brain people generally excel at this exercise. The more you do it, the better you’ll become at trusting your instincts. Play three holes and keep your eyes closed during each swing. See if you feel like you’re swinging freely, or if there’s tension in your body. Your playing partner will have to help you with this one. After each shot, try and guess where the ball went. My favorite is hitting all of your shots in a round without a pre-shot routine. Look at the target, pick your club, step into your
stance, stare at the target for at least five seconds then hit. No swing thoughts at all, just concentrate on the target. If you’re a total left brain golfer, I guarantee this will be a very difficult (but rewarding) exercise for you. These exercises will help you experience the golf course and the shots you hit in an entirely new way. The purpose is to help you “feel” the game. I suggest taking notes while you’re out there, and keep a journal throughout the summer. I hope you have fun, and learn something new about yourself in the process. If there’s something you would like me to write about, please feel free to send me an email and I’ll try to address your issue.

Local cable channels shutting down BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE – Local cable channels 14 and 15 are being shut down. The decision of the Ramsey Washington Counties Cable Commission was publicly made Monday July 18 and by Wednesday the webpage for channels 14 and 15 was giving an error message: “not found.” Channels 14 and 15 were suburban community channels. Channel 14 hosted religious programming. Channel 15 hosted community programs. Staff assisted
community members in broadcasting their own shows. According to documents released at the meeting, the difference between the 2016 budgets and the 2016-2017 revised and proposed budgets is about $624,000. Cable commission member Karen Gochberg from Mahtomedi said the decision to close the channels was financial. “We just don't have the money to be able to, at this time, program those channels,” she said. “This was a recommendation of the commission to be sent to the cities […] They have to approve the budget,” said

Gochberg. Cable commission member Bob Nuffort from Dellwood also said the reasoning was financial. “It is all because of the costs and the cost of the programming and the ability to be able to control costs,” said Nuffort. “It was the only option available, unfortunately.” Gochberg and Nuffort said that Maplewood leaving the commission in December caused the shutdown of channels 14 and 15. “Leaving of Maplewood affected financial issues,” said Gochberg. “That is what really prompted this.” Nuffort concurred, saying there was a reduction in revenues that affected the whole infrastructure. He hopes the channels could come back if another city came back to the commission. Gochberg said the commission has been working on what to do about its financial issues for “a long period of time.” “A lot of work had gone into this and a lot of work had gone into this by members of the commission,” said Gochberg. She wishes they could have kept the channels open. “It would be nice if we could find some money somehow,” she said. But the budget was due to cities by August 1. “We knew we were in a financial bind,” said Gochberg. “That was said at our other commission meetings. The committees were looking at ways to get around it. It wasn't out of the blue.” Director of Production Services Judy Skeie-Voss and Director of Facilities and Technical Support Ted Arbeiter were also let go. Skeie-Voss worked for the cable commission for 17 years and was known for her local monthly show on channel 19, said Zach Halverson of White Bear Township, who volunteered and worked for the company from 2007 to 2014. Halv-
erson heard about the shut-down through friends. “I was hoping it was just a false report,” he said. But both Skeie-Voss and another staff member besides Arbeiter confirmed to Halverson their positions were being terminated. Halverson is especially saddened by the loss of channel 15, in which the public could make their own shows. The channel consisted of a wide range of shows – from politics to area youth creating their own shows. “It was a really cool thing for the community,” said Halverson. “It was completely free. You just had to take a training course.” Halverson was disappointed he was so unaware of the commission's plan to shut down the channels. “I watched the entire 30 to 40 minute commission meeting from this past Thursday and there was no mention at all of this or closing down anything or being in trouble,” he said. “Why wasn't this mentioned sooner than Monday evening and why was it put into effect so immediately?” Grant Councilman Loren Sederstrom was also surprised by the shut down. He ran a show on channel 15 for five years. Sederstrom plans to somehow continue the award-winning show called All Around Grant. He is also saddened by the loss of the religious channel 14, which broadcast church services. “The travesty is there are so many senior citizens who can't make it to church,” he said. Sederstrom became aware of the lately announced Monday meeting and said about 20 people attended to speak against the shut down. Phone calls to Cable Commission Director Tim Finnerty were not returned as of press time. For more information visit www.scctv. org.

For 2015-16, our number of cases is currently low and our experience is getting better. This proposal represents a 16.5% decrease, attributable to the continued trend of a decrease in workplace injuries in both number and severity and the slight decrease in the mod factor.

WORKFORCE ACTION COMMITTEE COLLABORATES WITH EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO ENSURE ECONOMIC SUCCESS Currently Minnesota employers do not have enough qualified candidates to fill many good-paying jobs. Preparing students for all the opportunities available to them will enable them to enjoy economic prosperity. It’s worth noting that Vadnais Heights has 55 manufacturing firms that employ about 2,000 people, and the average annual salary is $75,972 – the highest among all industries in Vadnais Heights. How can the community plan for a skilled workforce that will meet the needs of local employers and ensure their economic prosperity? And, how can it provide good training and career opportunities for its students – thus ensuring economic prosperity for them as well? These are just a few of the conversation-starters queried within recent years by the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC), local manufacturers and area educational institutions, and as VHEDC Executive Director Ling Becker says, “Some of our most effective conversations happen when local businesses, schools, community organizations and other stakeholders have opportunities to talk candidly with one another.” In fact, those conversations turned out to be quite fruitful. The VHEDC created a Workforce Action Committee made up of key players from businesses and schools; the White Bear Lake School District was awarded a $250,000 grant from United Way to create a Manufacturing Pathway
at South Campus high school; funds were allotted for a Career & Employment Navigator at the high school for the students; and, the high school technology instructor, the career navigator and Du Fresne Manufacturing personnel created a job-shadowing program for students. Students have toured MME group, Schwing, Structural Wood, Herold Precision Metals and Innovize. Becker says, “The Manufacturing Pathway is an excellent example of community collaboration at its finest. The Pathway at White Bear Lake Schools is incredibly significant to the economic development of our local workforce. Manufacturers are noting that workforce shortages are a major hindrance to their continued growth. The opportunity the Pathway affords is a responsive approach to building partnerships between education and industry with a focus to prepare students not just for a job, but viable long-term careers.” Becker adds, “Make no mistake about it, the manufacturing industry is vital to our national, state and local economies. Minnesota is the home of more than 314,000 manufacturing jobs, which represents nearly 12 percent of all private sector jobs. In 2014, manufacturing had the second largest payroll among private-sector businesses in Minnesota, providing $19 billion in wages. In Vadnais Heights alone, 25 percent of all jobs are attributed to our manufacturing businesses. Another key collaborator vital to
the success of the VHEDC’s workforce goals is Century College. Century College has developed many programs that include internship experiences. The VHEDC Sponsored Internship Program with Century College provides $500 (3 credits) scholarships for up to four students, to be used for internships within the Vadnais Heights and VHEDC business community. One hundred and twenty hours of work is expected; work arrangements are made between the business and the intern. Sponsored Internships are now available in the following areas: Marketing/Sales, Visual Communications, Information Technology and Office Technology. The VHEDC recently opened up internship opportunities to White Bear Lake High School students, and it is planning to run the program throughout the school year and include other technical fields. In addition, Century College is the first college in the region to install and implement a Digital Fab Lab and incorporate a Massachusetts Institute of Technology initiative across its curriculum in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) areas. Nowadays, companies that digitally manufacture require skilled workers with a focus on higher-level computer design, simulation and automation. To keep up with a changing workforce, Century College plans to implement a new AAS degree program fall semester, to address evolving digital-based manufacturing environments.

SALUTING
Women in Business Christine Schiltz
Owner of Lake Elmo Inn Restaurant Christine Schiltz has been working at the Lake Elmo Inn and Event Center for 20 years. She and her husband John, the Lake Elmo Inn’s top chef, decided 12 years ago to buy the restaurant and event center and remodel it. They had entertained notions of catering before, but the kitchen there was too busy to sustain the practice – until Schiltz decided that she would become the director of an additional catering service to accompany the restaurant. She started with two full time employees, and within three years was up to three dozen full time workers and around 60 wait staff. Schiltz got her start in catering when she was 23, and a friend of a friend was selling a sandwich delivery business. She bought the place and operated it as a catering business for 10 years before exploring a career in architecture. While raising her kids and becoming an architect, Schiltz realized that she missed the food business. She got involved with Lake Elmo Inn soon afterward, and put her entire heart and soul into developing the new systems for the business. “I’m proud of the fact that people come to us and have us be part of their most special moments in their life,” Schiltz said. “We’re definitely a special occasion place and we do special occasion catering as well to share with people their wedding day or their anniversary or their 90th birthday, the celebration of life of a loved one or anything like that. We feel honored to be part of that.” She also loves to be working alongside her husband John. “He’s the talent; he’s an amazing chef,” she said. “I think one of the most talented chefs in the Twin Cities. Our whole brand is built from his talent as a chef. We’ve got four chefs and about 20 cooks; they’ve all been trained to cook like him. And now I have an amazing staff here; I can’t say enough about them. They’re just extraordinary people, the community is phenomenal. A lot of wait staff tell me they enjoy this job because it’s so fun. I feel honored to be able to come here to work everyday. I never imaged I would own a company that had 150 employees. I love working with my husband. We learn a lot from each other. We’re different but always going for the same goals. It’s been an amazing experience.” Both she and her husband grew up in the area, graduating from Tartan High School. They currently live in South St. Paul. In her spare time, Schiltz loves to travel with her family, and together they spend hours tending to the garden across the street from their house. They’ve also been spending quality time renovating their old house.

Owner of Merriment Adornments for the Home
It is unusual for a woman to be in the reclaimed wood industry. However, Sarah Londerville of Manomin Resawn Timbers, a reclaimed wood company in Hugo, has made this her passion. Londerville started the company in 2001 after working in the retail industry. Originally from Wausau, Wisconsin, Londerville has lived in Forest Lake since 2000. “Growing up in a scrap yard, we were always saving, collecting and reusing things. Reclaimed wood is very similar.” Londerville said. “Over the years, I have created a network of people I work with who take down buildings and barns to supply our lumber. Everything we sell is reclaimed.” Manomin Resawn Timbers specializes in wood flooring, paneling, timbers, mantels and more. Preparing the wood is a labor intensive process. When the wood arrives, it is denailed, kiln dried, and heat treated to kill bugs and larvae. At this point, the wood is sorted and sent to various machines to create the final product. People feel they can find reclaimed lumber cheaper on Craigslist; but, as you can see, the process is extensive. Londerville and her team of 20+ employees have perfected the system for delivering the best possible product. Reclaimed wood can add warmth and character to any home. Our flooring is unique. It has so many great features that new grain wood does not have like original circle saw marks, patina, hardware marks and nail holes. It can even go over in-floor heat, below grade and directly over concrete because it has been drying naturally for well over 120 years. Reclaimed wood is sourced within the United States through Manomin Resawn Timbers or clients can provide their own material. This offers you a unique way to preserve old structures as family heirlooms. Londerville prides herself on working with integrity. “Our motto is to under promise and over deliver. If we feel that we cannot meet your expectations, we will turn down the job. I would rather you understand what you are getting. Our goal is to educate our customers so there are no surprises.” Last year Manomin Resawn Timbers was honored to receive the Trillium Award from the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC) and the 2016 Best of Service Award from Houzz.

Photos by Mike and Barb Yungers Celebrate Encouraging participants and survivors to continue celebrating their achievements.
Remember Remembering those lost to the disease and honoring those who have fought or are fighting cancer.
Fight Back Inspiring Relay participants to take action against a disease that has taken so much. Each relay for life has a little different taste and feel, but the White Bear Lake Relay For Life is one to remember. The feeling of comfort, compassion and care really welcomes you during that first ceremony of celebration. Then later the words HOPE, COPE, CURE are lit up with the luminaire bags in the bleachers for everyone to see. Finally, the feeling of inspiration and optimism rise up with the sun during the fight back ceremony as we wrap
up the morning and recap the evening’s events. Everyone has some connection to cancer, it could be a relative, a friend or colleague. Whatever your connection is, it means something to you. It holds a special place in your heart. My connection with cancer is Relay for Life, and the White Bear Lake Relay holds that special place in my heart. The White Bear Lake Relay for life is lucky to have a strong group of people who work tirelessly to put on this event. We all hope to make it as memorable and meaningful as we can. Each year during my high school career on the cheerleading team we would participate in Relay. We would introduce each survivor as they approached the tent, then chant a personalized message to them as they walked through the tunnel of cheerleaders. To see how proud each and every one of those people were to share
the number of days, months, or years they are of being cancer free overwhelmed my body with joy for them. It gave me inspiration, motivation and excitement to come back each year. Keith Warner was always a huge part of Relay. I first made contact with him when I was a senior in high school. He always mentioned how he wanted the cheerleaders to do pushups for each year he was a survivor. We would always joke about it until finally he actually did, even though he showed us mercy at ten pushups. Keith was always reachable and always knew the right thing to say to interest people in Relay. Keith was initially who sparked my passion for Relay. After graduating high school I wanted to get more involved with Relay. I caught wind about the position of the volunteer coordinator and figured I would give it a shot. It suited me well and I began to love Relay even more. All of the
amazing people I have come in contact with throughout the past eight years of my involvement in Relay have taught so much. I would have missed out on many great relationships, mentors, advisees, and friends. This truly is a community of amazing people. Taylor Bjornberg
