Mary Claire Ryan

Richard L. Larson

Karen J. Bever, age 76. After a valiant struggle with cancer, Mom met the Lord peacefully. She married her high school sweetheart, and together their Journey began. Her family meant everything to her. Mom's joy in life was spending her time with her grandchildren, entertaining, cooking, decorating, and the holidays were all made special to everyone who walked through her door. She was known to be quite a shopper and the rule was to buy it and hide it! Her career brought her to various job opportunities. Univac, Plants a Plenty, Bever & Sons, and the last nine years she worked for Kowalski's Markets. Her passion was to decorate her table and feed her customers in style. Her saying was, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Karen is proceeded in death by her father Carlisle, mother Dolores and brother Thomas. She is survived by her husband James Sr; daughters: Dawne Anderson (Jerome) and Lori Domrose (Paul); sons: James Jr. (Stacy) and Thomas (Melissa); grandchildren: Carissa, Katlyn, Preston, Tim, Nikki, McKayla, Samantha, Emma, Alex, Camden, Tavin, Declan, Killian, Kayden; and great grandchildren: Riverana, Keira, Braeden and Aviella.

Alumna collecting vital COVID-19 data on staffing, especially at the intern level, and Lemke is one of five research interns remaining from an original staff of 12. "Interns are the bread and butter of the research machine in medicine," Lemke said, describing how interns like herself coordinate with the physicians and master's-level researchers, perform much of the setup work for studies and conduct supporting functions like literature reviews to back the projects. The name of Lemke's primary research project is the "COVID-19 Registry," designed to capture a large amount of accurate data points from patients who have been admitted to the hospital with a COVID-19 diagnosis. "Because things are constantly changing with COVID-19, how we track patients and collect data is changing as well," Lemke noted. "All of the data we collect on these patients goes into a database through which physicians can post a request for COVID research ideas. Data matching their request is then available for their project." A second COVID-19 project Lemke's data currently supports is a drug treatment trial called OSCAR. "The OSCAR trial is a phase two multi-

center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of a drug called Otilimab for the treatment of severe pulmonary COVID-19-related disease," Lemke explained. It's not only the nature of Lemke's work that has changed with the onset of the pandemic, but also the way she works. She can no longer be inside the hospital due to potential exposure to infection. "I currently live with my parents, who are over the age of 60, one of whom has chronic pulmonary disease. This means that if I were to work in direct patient contact with COVID-19 patients, I would be putting them at higher risk. For this reason, I have been working remotely from an office outside of the main hospital," she said, adding that she is glad that was an option. "What I enjoy the most is feeling like I am really contributing to the effort of finding a treatment for this terrible disease, which has affected almost everyone in the world in some way or another," Lemke said. "It also gives me a sense of hope, knowing and working with so many people who are putting in tireless hours around the clock into our research and trying to help as many people as possible."

SUBMITTED

As a member of the Blugold Equestrian Team for four years, Alana Lemke was able to balance her studies at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with her personal passion for riding.

The White Bear grad selected Eau Claire for several reasons: the biology and German studies programs, and the fact that it had an equestrian team. She participated on the team all four years of college and served as captain. Lemke is currently submitting applications for graduate school. She plans to become a doctor of osteopathic medicine, perhaps also with a Ph.D. and research emphasis. She hopes to attend osteopathic medical school someplace in the Midwest.

Like so many others who have faced major workplace shifts and disruptions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, biology and German major Alana Lemke, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Class of 2019, has had to quickly adapt to a whole new way of performing her job. And, like so many other college grads, she is taking it all in stride and succeeding. Lemke is a critical-care research intern at Regions Hospital working on the forefront of COVID-19 research. Her department at the St. Paul hospital is responsible for all the COVID-19-related research across the Regions health system. The White Bear Lake Area High School 2015 grad had been collecting data from emergency room patients to screen for eligibility in a variety of clinical studies ranging from complex components of head trauma care to simple patient resilience studies. All that changed in March, however, when nearly all studies were put on hold and research shifted to COVID-19. Regions, like most hospitals across the globe, have had to shift its facilities, staffing and services to meet the demands of fighting the pandemic. That includes much ongoing research. The facility was also forced to trim

Readers’ choice

hen you think of your favorite establishments in our community, we all have one or two in mind, from professional services to food, service, or entertainment and live music. We’re happy to announce that Press Publications is launching the Readers Choice Best of the Press. To do this we need your help to bring forth your favorites to our website to be included. There are more than 90 categories on our nomination ballot and we want to hear from you. The seven groups that comprise the categories are: eating and drinking; arts and entertainment; and fitness; local; Publisher’s health services; shopping; and sports and recreation. View Here’s how it works. Go to Carter Johnson presspubs.com/white_bear/ bestof and nominate the place with the best appetizer to the best local park. Nominate as many as you like in as many categories as you choose, or nominate only one if you like. The website has a tool that will find the correct spelling and location of the place you are nominating. The nomination period runs from July 24 to Aug. 3. After we have the ballots finalized, we will move on to voting to determine who has the best hamburger in the Press area. If we receive two or more nominations in a category, that category will appear on the ballot. If only one nomination is received, the category won’t be on the voting ballot. It’s not because the one business that was nominated isn’t deserving. We believe to have a contest you need to have more than one participant. So if you are nominating in a category where there might not be a lot of choices, perhaps nominate a second person or place. Voting on the ballot will run from Aug. 14 to Sept. 10. The ballot will be in the same spot, presspubs.com/white_bear/bestof. You will be able to vote once every 24 hours. When voting closes on Sept. 10, we will tally the results and prepare a special section of the Press to announce the winners. All winners will be announced Oct. 21. What will the winners get? We will provide a certificate and window cling to the winners and a logo that the person or business can use to promote themselves online and in print. More importantly, they will have bragging rights. When the coronavirus entered our lives this spring, we learned to appreciate the local people who do so much to make our community a great place to live. There are many ways we can support them. Nominating and voting for them as the best at what they do is a simple, yet meaningful gesture. A goal of the contest is to help bring visibility to our local businesses and spur our local economy. The entire contest will be conducted online. There are no paper ballots. The contest is meant to be a good-natured, fun way to recognize all of the little things that make our area special. Please join me in taking some time to nominate your favorites. We need you to nominate them so they can be considered as a Readers Choice Best of the Press. What I love about the Best of the Press is we are working hard to keep this hyper-local, and it’s up to you, the readers, to determine the top finalists. So log on to presspubs.com, nominate the places you love in this community, and get ready for the Best of the Press. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

Star–spangled cheese curd cheeseburgers

he best season of the year is back—backyard BBQ season. Who doesn’t love cooking in flip-flops with an ice-cold drink in your hand? Outdoor cooking on the grill is easy and the unique flavors created by grilling are hard to beat. Father’s Day marked the start of BBQ season for us. My husband was surprised by a new grill from the kids. We promptly made burgers and have been cooking on it since. Wild Our last grill was literally falling Chow apart. We had Lisa Erickson stopped using it for ribs, burgers and fish. It’s no fun when everything is burning, yet undercooked. I’ve been craving cheesy Juicy Lucy burgers—the ones with the cheese in the middle. I’ve made them before but have been disappointed when the cheese oozed out of most of them and

Cheese Curd Burgers 4 onion buns, lightly buttered and grilled 1 lb. ground premium beef

4 slices smoked cheddar cheese 8 oz cheese curds any ﬂavor or plain, chopped into ¼ inch pieces 8 strips cooked bacon ½ tsp seasoned salt 1 small red onion, sliced ½ cup honey BBQ sauce Preheat grill to 500°F or above. In a small bowl, mix the ground beef, chopped curds, and seasoned salt. Form into four patties and create a small indentation the size of a tablespoon in the middle of each patty. When the burgers cook, they will not puff up in the middle. Place patties on the hot grill. Reduce temperature to medium and cook three to four minutes. Flip and place the smoked cheese on each slice. Continue until cooked throughout or to your liking. Place each burger on grilled bun. Top with bacon, onion slice, and honey BBQ sauce. Serve immediately. Lisa Erickson is a food columnist who loves all things dairy. You can get more recipes by emailing her at wildchowrecipes@gmail.com

started the grill on fi re. Maybe it was the grill? I don’t have time for kitchen (or grilling) failures when I have a crowd of people. I’m not going to let that happen again. Adding the cheese as part of the burger mix is an interesting way to get a cheesier flavor. I’ve tried adding cheddar to the ground beef, but it melts away when the burgers hit the grill. Cheese curds, on the other hand, are a little fi rmer and do not melt as much because the cheese is not aged. If you want to make your burgers extra special, try adding a flavored cheese curd like ranch. Top each burger with an additional slice of smoked cheddar and you have a winning combination. Add a little bacon and you’ve got the perfect burger for a backyard celebration with family and friends. Bang! Yum. These burgers are loaded with flavor and will have you singing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PAID LETTER Champion for education I strongly support Sen. Chuck Wiger in the primary election and urge all readers who live in Senate District 43 to give him their vote. As a parent and classroom teacher, I know that education is crucial for our democracy and future workforce. Sen. Wiger is a champion for education and thus will get my vote. Sen. Wiger has led efforts resulting in increased resources for schools, school safety, full-day kindergarten, early education opportunities, greater transparency, water conservation curriculum, increased opportunities for teachers of color, and much more. In addition, Sen. Wiger has received many honors for his efforts as a legislator. He has received many awards from groups representing education, health care, racial equity and justice, veterans, as well as business and environmental groups. He is proudly endorsed again by Education Minnesota. I appreciate that he has visited my classroom, plus many others in our school district. He consistently works with parents, staff and the community. He listens, learns and leads. Students are our future. Support our schools and community. Please vote with me for Sen. Chuck Wiger in the primary. Karin Hogen White Bear Lake

PAID LETTER Indignation unfounded It must be an election year, with the District 38 senate seat viewed as a trophy. How else to explain the measure of high dudgeon on display? However, a few items in the most recent volley of letters caught my attention. First, the accusation that Sen. Chamberlain, like President Trump, is operating purely from political considerations in seeking to have schools open is, well, a political consideration. The letter writer’s substantiation is weakened by the “fact” that he used the White House press secretary’s statement, “Science shouldn’t get in the way of schools reopening.” That was the headline. Her arguments seemed (to me, at least) the opposite, supported by various scientific sources. Second, another letter writer mentioning the senator’s “unfitness for office,” predicated merely on a nebulous and uncorroborated anecdote, is nothing more than a smear, not at all worthy of public consumption. High dudgeon itself is at best an empty gesture. But when it is supported by questionable or unprincipled arguments, it moves people onto the low road. Would that we’d expect more of ourselves, and each other. I’ve had the privilege of knowing the senator for the last decade and find him a man of conscience, principle and industry. One of the burdens of public life has to be enduring those who make confident assertions, as if they know the person, when in reality they don’t. Let’s invest the time and energy to do it right. Jim Nash White Bear Lake

Education, not propaganda Instead of going along with the feel-good mask-wearing propaganda, let’s look at some quotes from scientific studies regarding the use of masks to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published in the May 2020 edition of Emerging Infectious Diseases, Vol. 26, No. 5. “Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on the transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.” Also, an infectious disease research study in BMJ Journals Vol. 5, Issue 4, did a randomized controlled study with full-time health care workers in selected high-risk wards using various masks. Their study found that, “The rates of all infection outcomes were highest in the cloth mask arm. … The results caution against the use of cloth masks … moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection.” Furthermore, in an article titled, “Commentary: Masks for all for COVID-19 not based on sound data,” from CIDRAP of the University of Minnesota, states,

“Our review of several relevant studies indicates that cloth masks will be ineffective at preventing SARSCoV-2.” A “study” from University of California-Berkley and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology showing that masks can reduce the spread by 80% is, in fact, NOT a true randomized controlled study at all, but rather a computer model. We all know how inaccurate those can be. Even if there are legitimate randomized controlled studies supporting the use of masks, with the other studies pointing to the contrary, the science should then be deemed inconclusive. The honest thing to do would be to educate people with science from both sides and let them make an informed, personal decision. If you want to wear a face mask because it makes you feel better, I respect your decision. But can we please stop with the wrongful judgment and name-calling of those that have reviewed the science and still choose not to wear a mask? Mayor: It would certainly help if you did not call your constituents who choose not to wear a mask “thoughtless and reckless,” since it simply is not true. The science shows it. Stephanie Greene White Bear Lake

Don't change, learn from past In response to an earlier letter referring to the recent trend to simply remove statues perceived by some as racist as a “cultural reboot,” I would suggest this trend is little more than revisionist history and may do more harm than good. Our history is all of ours. It cannot be selectively chipped away to make certain groups feel better. Knowledge and understanding of our history can provide a more solid foundation for addressing the wounds of our past. Sweeping our past under the rug doesn’t change it. Author and motivational speaker Wayne Dyer said, “Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will change.” Let’s learn from our past, not sweep it under the rug. Jim Guarnera Pine Springs

History matters Independence Day came and went with little fanfare. Even the Press bumped the mention of our national holiday to the back pages — almost as if to say it's old news, hardly relevant. That is part of the problem. History Matters. Many of our citizens are woefully lacking when it comes to knowing and recalling our rich heritage and history, and many students today are not being taught even the basics of American history. The revision of history that has occurred has taken great liberties to change America's story, with all its triumphs and flaws, rather than accurately recount it. Look at the 1619 Project, a curriculum launched by the New York Times for American History that is being promoted for students and introduced to our schools. It reorders our understanding of history with many distortions and dismisses historical facts counter to their narrative, which is unbalanced in applying current ideologies to past events. I won’t argue the fact that our history has had its share of both injustices and noble ideas. Should we not then judge its entire scope, honestly acknowledging that we strive to self-correct and learn from our failings, but also celebrate our remarkable contributions and accomplishments as a nation? Truthfulness demands that we acknowledge both, as the complete story of our journey. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Arthur Schlesinger said, "History is to the nation, as memory is to the individual." Living in America, we have been the most free, most prosperous country in world history, with more individual freedoms and opportunity, which is rare. But we are in danger of forgetting how we got here. America is not perfect, but we have persevered for 244 years striving continually to live up to the best in America’s creation and its intended

freedoms. Without the true narrative of our history as our reference, we don't know where we came from nor in what direction we are going. Karl Marx, the Father of Communism, advocated for the idea of “deconstruction”— separating people from their historical past so you can reconstruct society the way you want to. He said, "The first battlefield is the rewriting of history," and "Take away the heritage of a people, and they are easily persuaded." Look no further than these examples: the French Revolution, Hitler and Nazi Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union and, more recently, Venezuela. With all that we have been facing as a nation these past months, you may think it could not happen here, but it can and is happening here. It can fundamentally transform a country and its way of life and all that we hold dear and sacred. Melissa Johnson White Bear Township

Need closer review of study for Lake Avenue White Bear Lake is indeed a scenic gem. There are very few places that make it possible for walkers, joggers, bicyclists, skaters and motorists to view the beautiful lake freely. However, Lake Avenue enables everyone — in addition to the residents of Lake Avenue — to appreciate White Bear Lake year-round. Whenever returning from downtown White Bear, I usually take Lake Avenue. Usually there are a few walkers and several bicyclists, depending on the time of day. However, on Memorial Day weekend, Lake Avenue was exceptionally crowded. The weather was perfect: 69-80 degrees, and there was little or no precipitation on the long weekend. With no restaurants open for dine-in, state parks closed and no Memorial Day festivities, a stroll, bike ride or drive through Lake Avenue was done by many more people than usual. In fact, the whole time period in which the study was conducted (from May 12 to June 14) would definitely have been influenced by the lockdown conditions in place during the COVID restrictions for parks, sporting events and travel. Considering the location of the Eco-Counter at the intersection of Shady Lane and Lake Avenue, how was the count corrected for those people going past the counter on their return trip? It seems this would erroneously double the count. A daily average of 722 pedestrians and 418 bicyclists is skewed since the study was done during the COVID shutdown and included a busy long holiday weekend. Now that the state has loosened restrictions for parks, dining, traveling, etc., the pedestrian and cyclist traffic is nowhere close to that tabulated erroneously during the COVID shutdown. Lake Avenue should remain open for motorized vehicles. It is not just for walkers, bikers, skaters or dogs. Lake Avenue is here for all to enjoy. Linda Demeny White Bear Lake

Cloth masks are false security Still wondering where in the Constitution it says a small-town mayor can suspend your freedoms on a capricious whim for as long as she wants, based on a virus that has a 99.7% survival rate? Masks do work if they are N95 medical masks; cloth masks offer almost no protection. Noted Minnesota Health Official Dr. Michael Osterholm puts it in clear perspective in a June 12 YouTube interview on the topics of masks. "If you’re walking across an intersection and a semi comes along and hits you at 50 mph, that’s not good. But if you’re walking across the same intersection and a Ford pickup hits you at 50 mph, that’s not good either." Dr. Osterholm makes it clear that “It’s either N95 or you don’t have protection.” Unfortunately, something that should be nonpartisan has been weaponized by politicians. I'm all for everyone wearing N95 medical masks to eradicate this COVID-19, but cloth masks ... they're nothing but false security. Robert Kiewel White Bear Lake

Grant • A motorist was cited July 6 on 75th Street N. and Kimbro Avenue N. for driving around barricades after Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies observed him go past the “road closed” barricades. Because the ponds on both sides of 75th Street N. at Kimbro have met in the middle of the road following recent rains, the road has been closed to traffic. • A motorist who crashed his vehicle into a ditch near the area of 60th Street N. and 60th Street Lane N. on July 9 was arrested for DWI. • A suspicious abandoned vehicle without any keys in the vicinity was reported July 11 in the 10000 block of 75th Street N.

CLASS RING: Back with rightful owner

AMERICORPS: Supports students

FROM PAGE 1

"It's possible he forgot he had it or wasn't sure how to fi nd the rightful owner," Kleckner said. A 1979 Mariner High School grad, she searched Facebook to see if the ’73 class, like her class, had a social media page. It did, so she sent a message to administrator Char Phillips Downing saying she had a ring. Downing called the fi rst person who came to mind: her friend Michelle Barnard Sensburg. "We were hoping, in the small chance, that her middle initial was J," Downing said. "Sure enough, her middle name is Jeanne. I asked her the color of the stone and she said 'blue.'" It was a match. Not only is Sensburg "amazed and thrilled" to have her ring back, but there is more good news. "It's too big," she joked. After hip surgery, Sensburg explained that she started exercising and has lost 80 pounds. For her part, Kleckner said she's happy the ring is back with its rightful owner. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, but returns to White Bear Lake often to visit family. "While I was there a few weeks ago, my siblings and I decided to start cleaning out the house and found the ring. My dad, George O'Connor, grew up in White

“Our goal is to support young people in sixth through 12th grade who are at risk of dropping out,” said Sarah France Ullmer, the national service director of Minnesota Alliance with Youth. AmeriCorps Promise Fellows assist students in reaching their full potential and set them on a trajectory for high school graduation and lifelong success. “The opportunity to serve as a promise fellow is a great opportunity for anybody in a time of transition in their life,” France Ullmer said. This includes those getting ready to retire, someone who is looking to do something during a gap year in college, prospective teachers and social workers, and more. “People who are effective and good at this role are really purpose-driven people who are just great at working with young people,” France Ullmer said. According to France Ullmer, research shows that when young people are seen they are more likely to thrive. Monitor echoed that thought. “I think that it helps the kids realize their worth,” she said. The Minnesota Alliance With Youth has partnered with White Bear Lake for seven years now. “Through AmeriCorps, we can

Bear. He loved to sail, and I suspect he could have found the ring putting in his boat. He also loved to garage sale." Sensburg wants the family to know she is grateful they reached out to fi nd her. "Without Tania, there would be no happy story," she said.

“We were hoping, in the small chance, that her middle initial was J. Sure enough, her middle name is Jeanne. I asked her the color of the stone and she said ‘blue.’”

“The opportunity to serve as a Promise Fellow is a great opportunity for anybody in a time of transition in their life,” Sarah France Ullmer Minnesota Alliance With Youth offer positions at schools at a lower cost,” France Ullmer said. This is also a valuable learning opportunity for those interested in serving. With the challenges students will be facing in the coming school year amid the pandemic, the support of caring adults is critical. In spring 2020, the program saw an increase in the number of students improving their school attendance during the school shutdowns due to COVID-19. At a time when kids were struggling with the transition to distance learning and the isolation of social distancing, the support of a Promise Fellow helped children engage at greater levels than normal. Those interested can learn more and apply at mnyouth.net or contact Kyle Kline at kkline@ mnyouth.net or 651.272.7959.

‘Over-policing’: Inequity found in White Bear schools A recent audit revealed inequity in White Bear Lake Area Schools, including over-policing of students of color. The results of the equity audit were presented at the school board’s July meeting. The audit included focus groups at secondary schools and student input. “We do have achievement disparities in our system,” said Alison Gillespie, assistant superintendent for teaching and learning. “Our students of color and children of low socioeconomic status achieve statistically below their white peers.” It was also found that students of color receive more disciplinary referrals compared to white peers. “We are paying more attention to them in terms of behavior, and over-policing is the word that our researchers used, meaning we are just more vigilant with our students of color in terms of looking for misbehavior,” Gillespie said. “Those are things we are committed to changing.” In addition, families and students of color felt disconnected from the district and were not expected to achieve, the audit reported. Minority students also expressed that their cultural heritage and language are not well represented in the schools. It was also noted that staff is not diverse. Students shared about racialized bullying by other students and discriminatory behavior by staff. Gillespie said the district is taking action to change the inequities. “I want to reiterate how serious we take these findings and how they absolutely are not aligned with who we want to be as a district,” she said. “We are going to commit to changing that experience for all of our families.” The district will do a curriculum examination, starting with history and science, and look at policies and practices that contribute to inequity. This summer, 104 staff members participated in anti-racist professional development. In addition, there will be a race equity action plan developed over the next several years.

“We have leadership and staff who have the capacity and willingness to change,” Gillespie said. The district has an equity commitment to disrupt systemic inequities by recognizing, honoring and embracing all cultures with humility and respect, she said. The school board approved the district’s commitment to action concerning the inequality found in the district.

The White Bear Lake Area Schools board took the following action at its July 13 meeting: • Ratified the sale of refinanced 2013 and 2014 leases for gym additions at Lakeaires, Matoska and Willow Lane Elementary schools. The change will save about $890,000 over the life of the repayment schedule. The true interest cost is 0.969%. “To see bids under 1% and savings of almost $900,000 is really a great result,” said Greg Crowe, one of the representatives with the district’s municipal advisers, Ehlers Inc. The district received more bids than normal. “To see seven bids speaks to where the market is right now, the benefit of a shorter bond, and also to the credit quality of the school district,” Crowe said. • Approved a 10-year long-term facility maintenance plan. The next bond sale of $25.5 million is scheduled for February. The plan includes levy revenue of $4.4 million for fiscal year 2022, $3 million for 2023 and 2024 and $3.5 million for 2025 to 2030. • Approved District 916’s long-term facility maintenance plan. The budget is $173,600 for 2021 and 2022. White Bear’s portion for the intermediate district will be about $14,000. • Approved two grants totaling about $10,000 for nutrition services. They will be used for equipment. • Approved 2020-2021 membership in the Minnesota State High School League. • Approved a joint powers agreement with the North Suburban Summer Academy for 2020-2022. The program for diverse gifted and talented students is a collaboration between 12 districts. • Approved a purchase agreement for a property in White Bear Lake.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Mahtomedi City Council at its July 21 meeting took the following action: • Following a public hearing, approved a partial vacation of a street easement and drainage and utility easements located on the property line between 170 and 175 Bevins Lane. The portion of the easement the city retained will be reserved for a future nonmotorized trail. • Approved a request from Robert and Erin Ostler for a minor subdivision to create three lots at 222 Quail St. out of the current 90,777-square-foot lot. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval at its July 8 meeting. The existing home will remain on the middle parcel of the three new parcels. The two outside lots will be developed for single-family homes. • Unanimously denied a request for a variance by the property owners at 98 Dunbar Way that would reduce a required corner side yard setback to construct a storage shed. The Planning Commission recommended approval at its July 8 meeting, although only three of the five criteria for the variance were met. • Tabled for a review until the Aug. 18 council meeting a request from the property owners at 67 Grove St. for a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow reductions to the front and side yard setback requirements so they can add onto their home. The homeowners indicated that they would like to add a second stall to their garage, build out the current garage and build above the garage addition. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval at its July 8 meeting. Council Member Steve Wolgamot moved to table action to see if the petitioners would come back with a proposal that substantially meets standards in the city ordinance. • Presented the 20-year service award to city employee Sandy Mahoney. A Mahtomedi native, Mahoney was assigned to streets

and storm sewers, and she has been called on to perform pothole work and much of the city’s crosswalk and parking lot painting. • Passed a resolution, effective immediately, recommending the wearing of face masks in public buildings in the city. City Attorney Bridget Nason said that if the city wanted to enforce the wearing of masks in public buildings, it would need to follow the ordinance process. Passing an ordinance would take a minimum of two weeks to allow time for the public to be notified of any laws that involve enforcement, she said. • Discussed and gave direction for use of federal CARES Act funds that the city will receive. The CARES Act established the $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) providing payments to state, local and tribal governments navigating the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. The city of Mahtomedi is eligible to receive $605,736. The CARES Act sets the criteria that must be met for expenses to be eligible. After an overview from City Administrator Scott Neilson, council agreed to designate three categories of recipients to receive CARES money from the city. The pecking order for those receiving funds are the city itself, as it pays expenses resulting from the COVID-19 quarantine; businesses within the city’s borders suffering from the shutdown; and others outside the city deserving of attention, such as hospitals. • Heard a report from Goebel that ground was broken for Aaron’s Playground and that the contractor would complete foundation work by the end of that week.

COMMUNITY BRIEF Township festival canceled White Bear Township Day, scheduled for September 19, has been canceled. According to a press release, the White Bear Township park board initially waited to see what would happen with other local festivals and considered scaling back activities to just the car show and fireworks. However, with the ban on large gatherings and concerns from public safety officials, it was decided it would be difficult to manage the crown and enforce safety protocols. The Township will continue to hold the free and socially-distanced Movies in the Park series.

WHITE BEAR LAKE BRIEF Early ice hampers spread of milfoil WHITE BEAR LAKE — Good news on the battle with invasive Eurasian watermilfoil. Only 12 acres of the aquatic weed required treatment this year, compared to 56 acres last year and 69 the year before. In fact, it’s the lowest number ever recorded, according to Mike Parenteau, the White Bear Lake Conservation District board member responsible for reporting on lake quality. “We found a few new areas that haven’t been treated before, but there was very little out there,” Parenteau noted at the July 21 meeting. “We’re happy with that.” He speculates that the low growth rate has to do with Mother Nature. The lake froze in early December, followed almost immediately by snow, so the weed didn’t get a good start. “The milfoil was deep and sickly looking; it was last year’s milfoil,” Parenteau said. Ten years ago, 174 acres of Eurasian watermilfoil was treated at a cost of $70,000. Parenteau’s monthly lake quality report also included lake level, which measured 925.08 feet, and 77-degree water temperature. Lake elevation has been above 925 feet all summer. In other business at the half-hour meeting, the board: • Heard an update from Chair Bryan DeSmet regarding a St. Germain's Bay sign. It was suggested that a sign be erected next to the lake that not only recognizes the bay but "gives a shout-out" to George St. Germain, a longtime volunteer board member for the district. The board will wait to hear if a sign is approved by the Dellwood City Council. • Heard from DeSmet that the executive committee plans to put together a scope of work for a 2021 Commercial Bay study. He plans to bring an outline to the board at the August meeting. • Heard from counsel Alan Kantrud that the new DNR officer has been both "prolific and effective" at policing White Bear Lake. Kantrud said he'll be prosecuting another boating while intoxicated citation as soon as the courts reopen. Debra Neutkens

Honorary Eagle Scout sentinels Above: Recently created Eagle carvings outside the Loftus family home in White Bear Lake were commissioned as a tribute to Owen Loftus, who died in October of 2018 at the age of 15 due to complications from treatment for Leukemia. Owen was working toward achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and received an honorary designation. The eagles are within sight of a lighted symbol of an angel decorating a window in Owen’s room.

Above: An outdoor bench in honor of Owen recognizes his love of scouting and also one of his favorite pastimes, shooting hoops in the driveway.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Above: Perry Carlson applies stain to the bald eagle sculptures. He has been using chainsaws to transform storm-damaged trees into unique sculptures since 1987.

At right: Chainsaw artist Perry Carlson attracted the attention of pedestrians and drivers as he worked on the eagle sculpture near the intersection of Cook Avenue and 6th Street in downtown White Bear Lake last week. His work has generated interest and additional commissions via word of mouth. A garden is also planned to accompany the tree sculpture.

At left: Not immediately visible, a closer look at the sculpture reveals a bear cub peeking out from inside the tree trunk. Find more photos online at presspubs.com.

Loon Chronicles V: So much to celebrate

Expires 8/31/20

WHAT A MONTH! THE CHICKS CONTINUE TO DEFY THE ODDS IN STYLE AND THEIR PARENTS COULD NOT BE MORE THRILLED. FOLLOWING THEIR PARENTS’ LEAD, THE CHICKS ARE GETTING INTO WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A LOON.

*Servicing all brands Licensed, Bonded, Insured

JULY 29, 2020

www.presspubs.com

The chicks are growing like weeds! In the last two weeks, they have almost doubled in size and are starting to lose their fuzzy baby feathers. The parents continue to deliver fish, which their ravenous chicks now wolf down without hesitation. During many of our early morning visits, the parents often leave the chicks with us while they take a much needed break. While the parents are off socializing with the drop in Loons, the chicks like to pick at each other and work on their Loon moves. As predicted, the chicks are now comfortable with their preening skills, after spending hours watching their parents tend to their feathers on a constant basis. This is important because keeping their feathers lubricated is key to staying buoyant after diving. The parents remain very protective of the chicks and it does not take much for them to fire off their warning calls or get up on their feet and start the aggressive Penguin dance. We saw a few eruptions last week, when one of the drop in Loons got a little too close to the chicks. The male Loon tore after the interloper, with the female in tow. The chicks hovered in stealth mode next to our boat, while the parents reclaimed their territory. After delivering the message, the family reunited and resumed fishing and preening in peace. The chicks have every reason to celebrate their first full month on White Bear Lake.
