Canine convergence

Always in the city’s court: Longtime attorney retires DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The highbacked chair next to the mayor in the council chamber will no longer be occupied by City Attorney Roger Jensen. The longtime counsel is retiring from the job he’s held almost 40 years.

Well, not quite 40. For full disclosure, as is a lawyer’s way, there was a hiatus during the 80s. Jensen was replaced between 1981 and 1987 when a disgruntled councilman, mad about losing a court case to the city, got in a new appointee when an election shifted the majority vote.

The case against the councilman, whom Jensen preferred not to name, went all the way to the state Supreme Court.

It started when the city granted a conditional use permit (CUP) to build new commercial docks next to Lions Park.

Also approved was a request to keep a 15foot trailer on shore as an office. Only the guy parked a 40-foot trailer on the site instead and then refused to move it. The city attorney was tasked with getting an injunction and the legal battle began.

The city prevailed every step of the way.

“The result,” Jensen said, “was a high court decision that held you are bound by what you submit to a city in your plans when you get a CUP.” That wasn’t the only case to reach the high court.

A lawsuit filed by Home Depot when a rezoning request was denied on Centerville Road was heard by the Supreme Court. Again, the city prevailed.

The Press sat down with Jensen over gazpacho at a downtown restaurant to talk about his tenure with the city. He came prepared with a handwritten list on, what else but a yellow legal pad, that included highlights of his incumbency.

Among them: • A ban on cigarette vending machines. White Bear Lake was fi rst in the country back in the 80s to approve the ban; Jensen wrote the ordinance. The story made the front page of the New York Times.

• Acquisition of the marina triangle property. “That was a big deal and very controversial,” he said.

Collaboration hopes to serve hockey community for generations to come

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — In a letter to the City Council just prior to a decisive vote, area hockey association leaders implored members to build a facility that “reflects a program that has taken generations to develop.”

They were talking about the cityowned Sports Center, aging and obsolete.

Putting its money where the puck is, the White Bear Lake Area Hockey

Association (WBLAHA) pledged to commit $2.5 million towards renovation of the 28-year-old ice arena.

The skating community had originally agreed to pony up 50 percent of the project, or $2 million, but then the cost jumped to $5.5 million. The extra million would pay for a bigger refrigeration system for a second sheet of ice, improvements for the disabled and a project contingency.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Giving food extra life The White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf is partnering with the Vadnais Heights Kwik Trip to rescue food. The arrangement is a way for stores to reduce waste by sending food that is still nutritious and safe to eat to food shelves.

The food shelf also partners with Kowalski’s Market in White Bear Lake and Fresh Thyme in Vadnais Heights.

Food Shelf Warehouse Coordinator John Enoch said the new partnership with Kwik Trip came through Second Harvest, one of the largest food banks in the country. Volunteer drivers pick up the food twice a week. Through only a month old, the partnership has brought in more than 400 pounds of food. According to Enoch, so far in 2017 they’ve

rescued 81,000 pounds of food from retail partners.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES The White Bear Lake City Council conducted the following business at its July 25 meeting: • Approved fi nal plat for “Hawkins Addition” for the Polar Mazda project. The plat reconfi gures four existing lots into two for the new car dealership facility at the northwest corner of Hwy. 61 and County Road F. • Heard an update from City Manager Ellen Richter regarding a new fi re chief. Finalists will be evaluated in mid-August with the

goal of having a new chief named mid-September.

• Authorized fi nal payment to Precision Sealcoating, Inc. for the 2017 crack sealing program in amount of $82,700.

• Authorized fi nal payment to Urban Companies, Inc. for demolition of the vacant gas station at 2511 County Road E East for $9,300. The total contract amount was $36,500.

• Approved development agreement with Habitat for Humanity for improvements to 3695 St. Regis Drive property. It’s the fi fth Habitat

home in seven years to be completed in White Bear Lake. The home should be ready for sale to a qualified family by June 1, 2018.

• Approved special assessment of sewer service connection fees and construction costs at 2505 Lake Ave. The homeowners, Jeff and Vicki Plaisted, wish to connect to municipal sewer and water due to a failing septic system. They asked the city for assistance in fi nancing water and sewer connection fees and construction costs that total almost $13,000.

The city has authorized similar improvements to be completed and assessed to property owners, with conditions. Those include a fiveyear assessment and agreement to the city’s construction interest

The 2016 rate was 4.25 percent; it is expected the new rate will be slightly higher. The resident also waives their right to appeal the assessment-related costs paid by the city on their behalf for the water and sewer connection. The residents must pay $2,500 for the Met Council sewer connection; $1,400 for the city water and sewer connection; and $9,000 to install laterals to the home.

The next City Council meeting is Aug. 8. Council will be considering a contract with the new city attorney, Andy Pratt, with the Stillwater fi rm of Eckberg Lammers.

Mixed emotions

N

ow that the St. Croix Crossing bridge is complete, the fi rst thought that comes to my mind is that it could have turned out a lot worse.

I realize this may sound like I’m damning it with faint praise and I sincerely don’t intend it as a slam, but instead as an honest response to the fi nal outcome of a lengthy and contentious process.

So far, the phrase I’ve heard most often to describe the new bridge is that it is aesthetically pleasing and I personally share that opinion but, after witnessing fi rst-hand the controversy and debate this project has stirred up over the last 25 years I’ve worked and lived in the area, it’s difficult not to have mixed Angle of emotions.

It clearly seems that considerable thought and care was taken in deView signing and constructing a bridge Paul Dols that fits into the natural surroundings of the St. Croix River Valley.

Only time will O l ti ill reveal the unforeseen repercussions of the 2012 exemption of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (passed by Congress and signed by the president) that finally made construction of the bridge possible.

My heart sank when I read comments about the new bridge made by Walter Mondale in a recent article in the StarTribune newspaper. He was quoted as saying that the bridge was “a big, vast assault on the federal river system” that he and Wisconsin’s Gaylord Nelson initiated 50 years ago when the two were United States senators.

A number of years ago I had the opportunity to accompany Keith Uhlig, who was editor of the St. Croix Valley Press at the time, on an interview with Mondale at his law office in Minneapolis. If I remember correctly, it was for an article recognizing the 30th anniversary of the national Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. During the interview the profound connection Mondale had to the St. Croix River became apparent. He shared with us a misty morning photograph of the river that was one of the few personal possessions he brought to Japan to remind him of home during his stint as ambassador. With that perspective, I think it’s completely understandable that this revered statesman is troubled when an exception is made and an important and historic law — enacted to protect the environment — is threatened. We owe a debt of gratitude to visionaries like Mondale and Nelson (and also from previous generations) who had the foresight and perseverance to create and protect natural treasures for future generations to experience.

Last week, while pedaling my bike along the Brown’s Creek Trail after attending a Lumberjack Days concert, I became more optimistic about the positive effects the new bridge opening could have on downtown Stillwater. It was starting to get dark and the foliage lining the trail was punctuated by the blinking lights of what seemed like thousands of fi reflies. It was a treat to be able to exit the downtown area and not have to worry about motor vehicle traffic. I believe the proposed pedestrian and bike trail loop into Wisconsin, combined with the growing interconnection of trails throughout the northeast metro, will prove to be a valued asset to local residents of all ages.

The new St. Croix Crossing is undeniably an impressive feat of engineering that could very well become a signature landmark, but I don’t think it would have turned out like this without recognizing and respecting the value of the protected waterway it crosses.

I hope that the complicated process leading up to the completion of this bridge illustrates how a thoughtful compromise can be reached and not how an exception can create the opportunity to poke countless additional holes in an already fragile dike.

Don’t rewrite the rules to mine next to the Boundary Waters environmental and public lands laws to enable the Chilean mining conglomerate Antofagasta PLC to build a massive sulfide-ore copper mine in the Superior National Forest adjacent to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

T

affirmed the importance of this process in reaching a sound decision.

Unfortunately, Emmer wants to short-circuit this review and fundamentally alter federal environmental and public land protections to benefit Antofagasta.

The bill would automatically reinstate the foreign conglomerate’s two expired mining leases, which date back to 1966, before modern environmental protection laws like the Clean Water Act. It would override the Forest Service’s clear determination that these leases pose an unacceptable risk to the public lands, water, and wildlife that they manage, and should not be renewed.

There is simply no justification for Congress to rewrite the rules to make it easier for Antofagasta to mine on protected federal land.

But that’s exactly what Emmer’s proposed legislation does.

Perhaps worst of all, the bill waters down the landmark Antiquities Act, legislation that has protected national icons like the Grand Canyon, by requiring congressional approval for future protection decisions. This sets a dangerous precedent that will have consequences across our country.

We should do no harm to this special place set aside for Americans of all ages to cherish and enjoy.

That starts by stopping Emmer’s misguided proposal.

Your legal rights: Internet and television service bait and switch

M

ost people want the best rate they can get for internet or cable television or satellite television service. Some providers offer aggressive promotions that claim to save you money. But watch out, as these providers may try a “bait and switch” scheme that causes you not to receive the promised rate.

What is a “bait and switch” scheme and how does it work?

“Bait and switch” is a fraudulent sales tactic. Some internet and television providers use a version of “bait and switch” to get people to buy their services. These companies “bait” consumers by advertising promotional rates that promise to save consumers money. When consumers purchase the service, the companies then “switch” to a more expensive rate.

The fi rst time consumers may learn of the “switch” is when they receive their bill from the new company.

Tips to avoid being a victim of “bait and switch:” Ask for all details about the promotion the company is actually offering. Before you buy, ask about the following and take good notes of the company’s responses. Better yet, get it in writing. Ask the company to clearly disclose: • All rules and exceptions. Some

companies offer promotions that come with dozens of complex rules and exceptions. Ask the company if the quoted price requires you to agree to any additional terms, or if there are any exceptions that might cause you to not receive the promised rate.

• The total monthly price. Some quoted prices come with a series of additional fees that significantly increase the amount you will pay. In addition Movers and to confirming the base price, be sure Shakers product to ask about all additional fees the company Lori Swanson will charge that will boost the price you will pay. Ask the company to tell you the total monthly price you will pay.

• The length of the promotion.

Some low “teaser” rates are designed to get you to sign up but end after a short time. Ask the company how long the promised price will last.

• The rate after any promotion expires. Some companies give people initial “promotional” rates to get the customer in the door but increase their prices by large amounts after the promotion expires. Ask if a promo-

tional rate applies, and if so, ask what rate you’ll have to pay once the promotional rate expires.

• Early cancellation penalties.

Some companies charge people cancellation penalties for ending service, even to consumers who do not sign a contract. Ask whether you may cancel the service at any time without penalty. If there is a penalty, ask how much it is and how long it applies.

Get the offer in writing. A reputable company should be willing to send you an email, letter, or text message putting its promises in writing. Be wary of companies that will not put their offers in writing. If the company tells you it will provide the information after you purchase the product, make sure that the company actually sends you this information. Some companies promise to disclose the price and rules of its promotions but never do. Contact the company if it fails to give you this information. If you do get the information, read all of it, especially the fi ne print.

Take notes. Take detailed notes about what the company promises, including the price and terms of the promotion. Make sure to note the time and date of your call and ask each employee that you speak with for their name and employee identifica-

tion number. Knowing and providing this information may help you get the company to honor its quoted prices if it tries a “bait and switch.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Water walk exceeded goal The Walk for Water July 15 was again a successful event due to the support of our community. We want to especially thank all the participants and the many who donated. Also, special thanks to all the White Bear Lake businesses who sponsored us, including Manitou Grill, Indulge, White Bear Plumbing, Grandma’s Bakery, Kowalski’s, LET, Junker Construction, Center for the Arts, Key’s Cafe, Primp and Signature Orthodontics. Because of all these contributions, we exceeded our goal of $2,500 and reached $4,500. The $2,500 went to the Chub Romdeng School, grades 4–6, in Cambodia to create a WASH project, which includes the building of wells, hand-washing stations and latrines. The rest of the donations went to the Chub Romdeng School, grade 3, in Cambodia and the Gamachu School, grade 5, in Ethiopia. Thanks again for everyone who helped us succeed in funding these schools. You truly changed the lives of these children and made a difference.

More crosswalks need patrol Someone should patrol the crosswalk at County Road F and Hazel Street. The city could fill the coffers with fines. I walk this neighborhood route weekly. On my walk this morning (July 27) there was a lady in front of me that had both feet in the crosswalk. Two trucks and two cars went through illegally before someone finally stopped. This has happened to me many times. One day while I was in the crosswalk, a car didn’t stop, so I pointed to the ground and the driver honked at me and gave me the finger.

Endorsement for governor I recently had the chance to join hundreds of supporters to kick off Rep. Matt Dean’s campaign for governor. And I’m here to tell you that again the Minnesota Republicans have fielded the strongest candidates for leading our state.

Let’s take a look at the mess Democrats have gotten us in: Metro environmental elites are telling the Iron Range they cannot operate a safe mine and should just draw unemployment; the Minneapolis and St.

Paul police departments are under siege; the Minneapolis and St. Paul schools are some of the worst performing in the country; our manufacturing base is diminishing; and the list grows.

Minnesota is in dire need of leadership. Leadership is not throwing more money at problems or building more stadiums.

Leadership is setting our state in a new direction away from “let the state take care of us,” “let the Met Council design and manage our cities,” “let the Dept of Education parent our children” destructive attitudes.

My choice to lead us is Matt Dean for his unique insights into our state and principled conservative track record of legislating. Matt Dean will be a great governor for Minnesota who will be accessible to everyone.

Pedestrian bridge a generous contribution The Otter Lake Trail created by Water Gremlin is another great, and generous example, of private contribution to the walking and biking infrastructure of a city through use of its property. It is these pathways that cut through parks and across unused portions of lots or between buildings that increase the density and connectivity of safe routes more quickly while adding interest and variety apart from more formal, long-term efforts to modify streets. There is a MN Statute, 604A.20, that protects those who create connections using private land without the consequences of liability. For more on this statute, see www.revisor. mn.gov/statutes/?id=604A.20 Mike Brooks White Bear Lake

Drivers need to stop for students at crosswalk I live on Birch Street two houses off White Bear Avenue and my grandkids walk to the crosswalk to Lakeaires Elementary School. I have taken care of them now for 15 years. Katie is 9 and we won’t allow her to cross with the school patrols anymore. I’m a wreck during the school year. So we drive her the two

blocks across White Bear Avenue.

Cars won’t always stop even when the patrol pushes the flashing light. They basically have to wait until there are no cars around and walk out with their flags. I always have to go up there to watch and help if needed. Sam and Emily were both school patrols for Lakeaires but we are afraid Katie will have to miss out on that experience.

Lt. Henry Winterhalter of the St. Paul Police Department, who was my husband’s uncle, was head of the school police and it’s a tradition in the family to keep this up. It’s sad.

The White Bear police should go back there during the school year.

Crosswalk ticket going to arbitration This is in response to the July 26 article “Police begin summer crosswalk enforcement,” as apparently I am a “blatant violator” having received a violation from Officer Sanders’ sting operation.

As a person who regularly jogs in and around that area, I can attest that I have almost been hit by vehicles numerous times, so I am keenly aware of pedestrian traffic while driving. And though I support Officer Sanders’ cause, I think he ‘got the wrong guy’ on this one.

Driving west on Fourth Street, I noticed in the distance police cars with siren lights on, on both the south and north side of Fourth; there was definitely something going on. As I approached the Wood Avenue and Fourth Street intersection, I slowed my vehicle and noticed: both police cars had vehicles pulled over; there was a woman (Sara Marie Moore) with a smart phone filming the crosswalk well away from the southwest corner of the intersection; and on the northwest corner were three adults standing and chatting well away from the intersection with no physical signals of even attempting to enter the crosswalk.

A misdemeanor fine of $178 plus surcharges for evaluating the situation and concluding there was no risk to any pedestrians as none were near the crosswalk is too much to bear; my arbitration hearing has been set.

Mahtomedi man charged with drug-related death of White Bear Lake woman

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A Mahtomedi man has been charged with third-degree murder for allegedly giving heroin to a White Bear Lake woman who died from an overdose in March.

Adam Christopher Guzman, 40, was arrested July 25 and admitted to giving heroin to Megan Burkard, 28, who was found dead in her apartment March 25, according to court documents. Guzman admitted he met Burkard outside her apartment in the 2000 block of Dotte Drive in White Bear Lake March 24 and said he couldn’t believe she could have died just because of using the half a gram of heroin he gave her.

The Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Officer had determined Burkard died due to acute heroin toxicity, accord-

ing to court documents.

Burkard was found dead in her apartment the morning of March 25 when officers responded to a suspected overdose, according to court documents.

Officers attempted chest compressions and medics tried to save her life as she was still warm even though she had no pulse, but she was pronounced dead about half an hour after officers arrived.

A pink lighter and a syringe were found near Burkard.

Officers arrested Guzman after analyzing Burkard’s phone, which had text messages showing Guzman likely sold her drugs that evening, according to court documents.

The evening before her death, Guzman and Burkard exchanged texts about Guzman picking up “bags” that day and Burkard promising to pay Guzman $150, asking him to try to stop by her apart-

ment at a time before her roommate would be home.

Guzman said the prices had been raised due to a low supply. She “admonished him to do his best to not get 'tiny bags,'” according to court documents.

Guzman Burkard’s roommate remembered Burkard had left their apartment briefly that evening and thought she had met with Guzman to give him a clonazepam pill, according to court documents. Guzman had sold drugs to her in the past, the roommate said. Her roommate had met Burkard in treatment and she let her stay with her after she was kicked out of a sober house.

She said she didn’t think Burkard had been using heroin but thought she was abusing prescription pills.

White Bear Lake Police Department

investigators, with the assistance of the Bureau of Criminal Investigations, worked on the case.

“Heroin overdoses are killing too many people in our community, and I am grateful for the extra effort undertaken by the White Bear Police Department to investigate this case as a murder investigation,” stated Ramsey County Attorney John Choi. “More efforts like this to hold drug dealers and/or providers are an important part of the solution to address the growing heroin epidemic that has taken root throughout our country.”

Guzman’s first appearance in court was July 26. He has a clean record, besides minor traffic violations.

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

Vadnais Heights • An estranged wife could never figure out how her husband knew where she was and kept showing up to continue the verbally abusive behavior which led to their divorce in the fi rst place. Finally someone alerted the 38-year-old to the tracking device her 49-year-old ex had installed in June on her car. The 49-year-old White Bear Lake man is facing harassment charges.

• They wanted to move and saw a place July 18 that looked pretty good. Mom, 56, and her daughter, 32, hadn’t actually been inside, but the duplex in the 4200 block of Bridgewood Terrace sure had curb appeal. The “owner,” wanted $1,300 for the fi rst month’s rent and $500 for a security deposit. He also told the ladies he was with the Texas Christian Ministry, which was reassuring. So the deal was set but the “owner” later said he had some unforeseen medical expenses and would need two more months’ rent in advance. That caused Mom to smell a rat and they tried to call off the deal and recover their money but the “owner” was nowhere to be found. Occupants of the Bridgewood Terrace property said the duplex had never been for rent.

• Just as “eating out tonight” doesn’t mean a sandwich on the back porch, a request to help you with

your groceries doesn’t mean someone wants to do you a favor. When the two “ladies” offered to help the elderly man, 79, and his female companion, 63, carry their groceries from the parking lot into the Highcrest Apartments in the 1000 block of County Road D the afternoon of July 20, the couple, unfortunately, accepted. The “ladies” were soon gone along with a purse containing $1,000 from the apartment bathroom.

• Two males up to no good the afternoon of July 21, went into the phone store in the 900 block of County Road E, picked up a pair of Fifth Generation iPad units valued at $350 each and fled the scene on foot. No suspects.

• A 22-year-old local man was arrested in the wee hours of July 22 on Bridgewood Terrace for assaulting his 50-year-old Dad. The attack was enhanced to a felony based on the son’s criminal history. The son, who was transported to jail, said he was agitated about the money he owed his father.

• A local man knew he was a dead duck when he arrived home July 23 in the 600 block of Hiawatha Avenue and saw the squad waiting for him. The 36-year-old known offender, who has a cancelled license-inimical to public safety, jumped out of the vehicle and fled into his house, refusing to come out. His vehicle was impounded.

• An under-ringer at the WalMart self-service register July 23 skipped scanning merchandise

valued at $39. After threatening to sue the store, the 49-year-old local woman was cited for theft and booked into the jail.

• A 27-year-old came all the way from Mount Ridge, Kansas to fall victim to a prowler in the parking lot of a hotel in the 1100 block of County Road E overnight June 24. A Garmin GPS unit, Minnesota souvenirs and chump change, valued at a total of $140, went missing from his vehicle.

White Bear Township • A St. Paul man is under investigation for damaging a “barred owl enclosure” July 20 for purposes unclear at the Tamarack Nature Center on Otter Lake Road.

• A man approached a deputy on July 20 on Bald Eagle Boulevard saying he had found an injured owl. The man was given contact information for the U of M Raptor Center.

• Deputies responding to a report of a domestic assault the afternoon of July 21 found a 56-yearold local woman sitting under a pine tree, screaming. She was transferred to Regions Hospital on a psych hold.

• A 39-year-old Otter Lake Road man was jailed July 25 for violating an order for protection by his 33-year-old ex-girlfriend.

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

CITY ATTORNEY: Admiration is mutual on both sides of dais in council chambers FROM PAGE 1A

• Development of Boatworks Commons. “That whole development has made what was not much into a thriving area,” noted Jensen. “I don’t take credit but I helped do it.”

• Development of White Bear Parkway on land owned by Jarmila Lande. It boosted the city’s tax base.

• Development of swampland that became the commercial/industrial area along Buerkle Road. It was acquired by eminent domain and again added significantly to the city’s tax base.

The land was owned by the Goins family.

• Expanded the fi re relief association fund.

“White Bear probably has one of the best volunteer fi re departments in the state for a city this size,” Jensen maintained. “Because of that, insurance rates for residents are significantly less.”

• Acquired lakeshore property for the city in old Cottage Park. That issue went through litigation over ownership. It has been left undeveloped, and the point is a wonderful place to bird watch.

• Litigation over lake level. One of the more interesting cases, he said, and extremely well tried.

A decision is expected any day on the lawsuit.

Former City Manager Mark Sather worked closely with Jensen through the years and will always remember his impartiality, respect for the law and judicial system, and his loyalty to the city.

“I was always impressed by Roger’s knowledge of municipal and employment law,” Sather said.

“As city manager, I greatly appreciated his advice and assistance when we were pushing the envelope.

Whether we were proposing unprecedented legislation, undertaking complex redevelopment projects or problem solving, Roger was there to support us when many other city attorneys would have shied away or advised in a discouraging manner.”

Being a city attorney is an interesting job, Jensen said. “It encompasses almost every kind of law: one day you’re handling a personnel matter, another day a criminal matter. Another day a condemnation or finance or zoning matter. Another day it’s litigation over level of the lake. For a lawyer who wants stimulation, being a city attorney is a really stimulating and interesting practice. It requires a broad skill set.”

At 74, Jensen still plays squash at the Commodore Club in St. Paul and swings a golf club a couple days

Retiring city attorney Roger Jensen has served White Bear Lake for almost 40 years. His last City Council meeting is Aug. 8.

a week. Every Monday, he tutors at his grandson's school. Much of his spare time is spent with his daughter’s son, an 8-year-old she adopted from Ethiopia as a baby. Jensen and Sarah, his wife of 50 years, have a daughter and son, and seven grandchildren, six boys and a girl. When one of them becomes a teenager, grandma and grandpa treat them to a trip to Washington, DC, to see government in action.

A couple times a year he enjoys bird hunting in Kansas and fly fishing in Montana. He still skis.

A partner in Miller O’Brien Jensen and a “Super Lawyer,” according to Best Lawyers in America, Jensen will not be retiring entirely. He still plans to go into his Minneapolis office on a part-time basis.

As for White Bear Lake, he knows the city is in good hands. He called City Manager Ellen Richter a “fast learner” and has nothing but praise for staff.

Richter said it has been an honor to work with Jensen.

“His tremendous experience and institutional knowledge has been incredibly helpful as I’ve waded

through the first 1-1/2 years of my tenure as city manager,” she said. “His professional ethic and human compassion runs deep and is always apparent in the work he does. I am grateful for being among those who have had the pleasure of working with Roger. He will be missed.”

Mayor Jo Emerson expressed similar sentiments.

“I always found he was well versed in municipal law,” she said. “He always made sure the city’s interests were protected, but he was also a compassionate man and would go out of his way to make sure people understood why things were the way they were. We were very fortunate to have him as our city attorney. He has done a marvelous job and he will be missed.”

A year later, Kayla Strong still going strong

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

A year after a terrible accident that left her with a severe brain injury, a new Kayla Jones has emerged.

Her parents, Dan and Sallie, jokingly refer to her as Kayla 2.0.

“Only good things have come out of the accident,” said a candid Kayla when we sat down with the 20-year-old and her parents days before the July 30 anniversary of the accident.

The White Bear Lake City Councilman and his wife Sallie will never forget that late night phone call a year ago. Daughter Kayla had been hit by a pickup truck crossing a busy street in Duluth. Her injuries were life threatening: kidney and spleen damage and neck fractures. Two arteries in her neck were damaged. The biggest injury, though, was her brain. Surgeons had to remove a piece of skull to relieve the swelling in a Duluth hospital before she was air lifted to the trauma unit at Hennepin County Medical Center.

Kayla was hospitalized for 10 weeks.

She had to relearn many things, like how to walk and brush her teeth.

Today she feels great, she said, and considers herself “95 percent normal.”

“I've been healing so fast. I have problems with my memory but it’s slowly getting better,” she said.

Remembering what she ate for breakfast or forgetting she’d made plans with friends are all things showing signs of improvement.

Doctors warned Kayla’s parents that a personality change is common for victims of traumatic brain injury. “When they told us that, it was never on a high note, never a positive thing,” Dan

SUBMITTED

recalled. “We thought, 'OK, whatever happens, happens.'”

Twelve months post-accident, there is nothing negative about their daughter now, he said.

“Everything about her personality has become enhanced. Her voice became louder and she talks a lot more.

I would never have called Kayla a wallflower but she would never be first to speak up.”

She was much more reserved, added Sallie.

“Yes, that’s a good word,” agreed Kayla. “I’m a lot more emotional now; a lot more social.”

Another big change is her compulsion for neatness.

“I am much cleaner after the accident; everything needs to be organized in my room.”

Dad was a little more blunt, calling Kayla a bit of a slob prior to the accident. Now she’s the complete opposite.

Does she attribute that to the injuries? “Absolutely,” Kayla replied. “I really think only good things have come from the accident. I think it happened for a reason and I think it was God’s plan for me.”

Another unexpected outcome of the horrible mishap is this: “I’m a happier person because of it,” Kayla said.

Frank about being treated for depression in high school, the accident seemed to have “knocked it out of her,” Dan said. She also suffered from migraines before, which have disappeared.

The family is taking her recovery one step at a time. She has no plans to go to school, Kayla said, and for now is focusing on two part-time jobs: dish-

washing at a nursing home and working at a White Bear Caribou. There is a question long term about whether she will ever be able to work full time. She fatigues easily so is limited to working 20 hours a week for now.

A favorite pastime is playing cards and board games; again something she never did before the crash. Now, she can’t get enough.

Her favorite is called RummiKub. It’s a tile-based numbers game that is particularly good for her brain. “She’s very good at it,” Sallie pointed out.

Kayla also attends Bible study, something she did before the accident, and feels her relationship with God is much stronger.

There is a fresh tattoo on her upper arm that says, “God’s Flower.” Asked its significance, Kayla said when she was healing she felt like there were flowers growing in her head: God’s flowers.

She doesn't remember much of last summer but Kayla does know about the community support her family received. Sallie still wears the Kayla Strong bracelet sold to help offset medical expenses. They still see random people, strangers, wearing the blue bracelets. The slogan makes her feel special, Kayla said.

“The support has been unbelievable,” added Dan. “And it didn’t stop. It makes me appreciate how lucky we are. There are so many worse things. We are thankful, there is no doubt about that.”

“I know, you’re happy I’m alive,” Kayla told her parents. “It all came out for the best. I personally think I’m better than I was before.”

That made her dad smile: “It makes me happy you’re saying that,” he said.

COLLABORATION: Hockey group antes up FROM PAGE 1A

wasn’t sure about the value of adding capacity to the refrigeration system for a second sheet of ice, estimated to cost $385,000.

At the July 25 meeting, council learned that if the upgraded refrigeration system was not included in the initial renovation, it could cost $1.2 million to add later.

It’s no secret that the hockey association needs more ice for its 900 players.

They told the council the organization is committed to seeing the project through to completion. That was enough to persuade the council to go ahead with Phase II, which includes the upgraded refrigeration system, putting the city’s share at $3 million.

For its part, the WBLAHA will bring a minimum of $1 million in cash to the project April 1, 2018. As for the additional $1.5 million, the association plans to start a capital fundraising campaign.

It is also working with “potential large donors” to reduce the need for financing.

“Our financial commitment is based on a history of being financially solvent,” read the letter signed by President Kevin McFarlane and the WBLAHA board.

The association’s charitable gambling operations will service any debt/financing for the rink project at a minimum of $300,000 per year, according to the board. If necessary, the city will finance the association’s share in a construction bond, which will give them a better interest rate. In 2016/17, gambling operations from six sites in the community had fiscal year revenues of $14 million.

In their letter to council, board members tout the hockey association as “one of the largest and most respected in the state.”

“This is a vital program,” they wrote council. “Without a solid facility to continue to foster our youth, families will search for other communities that provide these types of programs.”

Association directors said they look forward to a “productive collaboration

that will not only balance the needs of the community, but a fiscally sound decision that will serve this community for generations to come.”

McFarlane told council the city is not expected to ante up for the second sheet.

There are conversations about private funding, he noted, and there is hope the school district becomes involved.

“They’re expressing interest that wasn’t there before,” said the association president. “A second rink doesn’t happen without outside funding.”

The 5-0 council vote means the city will proceed to final plan preparation.

Members did make it clear they are max’d out financially when it comes to the Sports Center.

“This is the last cash investment I’m interested in supporting for rink capacity,” said Councilman Kevin Edberg.

Councilman Doug Biehn asked the pertinent question: What is the potential for a second sheet? Are we spending money for something that has a high potential of happening?”

“In my crystal ball, I see two sheets,” replied McFarlane. “I see a racquetball facility that could be turned into a studio rink for 3x3 specialized training and potential for a curling center.”

Added the hockey association president,”I would love to start construction the following summer (for a second rink). The quicker we do it, the quicker I can stop being president.”

The fee for Phase II design is $80,700 payable to Kraus-Anderson. A check for half that amount was presented to the mayor by McFarlane following the vote per the earlier 50-50 agreement.

Final plans will be presented at the Oct. 25 meeting, when approval will be requested to advertise for bids. The bids will be brought back at the December council meeting when it will again be decided whether to proceed.

City Engineer Mark Burch said the phased project is set up so the council “can pull the plug at any time.” Construction would start next April.

Stop sticks thrown under proposed bus route

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Roundtrip bus service from downtown to St. Paul has a couple of councilmen on the edge of their seat.

They worry that the proposed Rush Line bus route will both change the city’s character and consume precious real estate.

Another point of contention was the process itself.

“Tonight we’re making a decision on a locally preferred alternative (LPA),” noted Councilman Bill Walsh at the July 25 meeting. “I don't like this process. It's drip, drip, drip of small decisions. This is the first time I’ve been able to vote on this $420 million project.”

Walsh voted “no” on a resolution to support the LPA for the Rush Line corridor. So did Councilman Steve Engstran.

The remaining three voted in support, but not before adding their concerns, pro and con.

Councilman Dan Jones said he had a difficult time “picturing the space” for the transit stations. “I have trouble wrapping my head around the use of that much space and what it would do to our downtown,” he said.

Rush Line representative Andy Gitzlaff said the end point for the bus terminal has not yet been defined. “It doesn’t have to be on Highway 61,” he told council. “It could be on the east or west side. We’ve talked about a park and ride component that is a ramp-type structure.”

City Planner Anne Kane assured members that the mayor and council will ultimately have land use control and authority on the three stations within its jurisdiction. “Consultants will help us look at infrastructure and connections,” she noted, adding that the city has been engaged since the early stages of the Rush Line project.

Councilman Kevin Edberg was in the pro-Rush Line camp. “I’m excited about the possibility of bringing people to our city and providing easy access,” he said. “Yes there are issues to talk about but I’m intrigued about bringing people to enjoy our amenities.”

A public hearing was scheduled on the resolution of support prior to the vote but no one spoke.

According to Gitzlaff, the project will likely be 50

percent funded with federal dollars; 10 percent by the Ramsey County Rail Authority; and 40 percent via the local sales tax that goes into effect Oct. 20.

Walsh said he was glad the mode of transit wasn’t a train. A bus can be moved if there’s no ridership.

“This is not a small project,” he maintained. “We have not had a proper conversation about what this will do to our city. Our Comp Plan survey shows people enjoy our small-town feel. I think this project can ruin that.”

The councilman said he frequently takes the No. 265 express bus to downtown St. Paul. It takes 45 minutes and is never full. “I don't hear anyone in my ward (No. 1) saying we need a bus to St. Paul.”

Councilman Doug Biehn said he’s a strong supporter of rapid transit and has used it around the world. “I’m just disappointed it’s not rail.”

It should be noted the LPA is not set in stone. Project

elements will be further refined during the next phase.

The next step is to submit the LPA resolutions of support from cities and county to the Metropolitan Council sometime this month, with more environmental analysis and public engagement to begin Fall 2017.

White Bear Township, Vadnais Heights and Gem Lake also voted in support of the resolution.

A wish upon a star(s)

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — There is a galaxy 20 million light years away shaped like a bear paw.

The city wishes to adopt it, perhaps making White Bear Lake the fi rst in the country to have its own galaxy.

A White Bear Lake Area High School grad, class of 2006, now a PhD candidate in physics, discovered Bear Paw Galaxy in her research and shared its existence July 25 with City Council members.

The University of Minnesota graduate student, Melanie Galloway, researches galaxy evolution.

She studies large populations of galaxies, including their birth, development and death, Galloway told council, and de-stresses by looking at beautiful images of the universe.

“I came across this unique galaxy a few months ago called Bear Paw,” Galloway said. “It makes sense since it looks like a paw. I put it on Facebook as my galaxy of the day.”

Her dad, Ken Galloway, saw the post and suggested making it the official galaxy of White Bear Lake. Galloway is a civic-minded community member so it’s no surprise he came up with the idea. He is president of the Rotary Club and a director on the White Bear food shelf board. He also manages the White Bear Yacht Club in Dellwood. Galloway ran it past City Manager Ellen Richter who was on board with the adoption idea.

Melanie Galloway agreed it “would be really cool” for her hometown to have an official galaxy.

As for making it the city’s very own, the young scientist said she’d have to get back to them.

Here are a few facts about Bear Paw Galaxy: • Its oldest stars are about 13 billion years old.

Since the universe is 14 billion years old, its stars were formed just after the Big Bang.

• It is classified as a dwarf irregular—dwarf because it has low mass compared to a typical galaxy and irregular because it is not spherical or spiral shaped like many galaxies.

• It can be found in the northern hemisphere in the Lynx constellation. If you fi nd the Big Dipper, the handle points downward to Lynx, which is a row of stars. Bear Paw galaxy is just north of the brightest star but requires a powerful telescope to view.

• It is 10 thousand light years in diameter or about the same size as the Milky Way. If the city adopts the galaxy, Councilman Kevin Edberg asked Galloway whether there’s assurance it still exists. “If it blew up, it takes 20

million light years to get here,” he pointed out.

“These stars have not died yet,” replied the physicist. “Most stars’ lifetimes are longer than the lifetime of the universe.”

Mayor Jo Emerson called Galloway’s presentation “very exciting,” and told her she has a

“bright future” ahead of her.

Galloway said she hopes to teach once she gets her doctorate in August, possibly at Hamline University, her alma mater. She graduated cum laude from Hamline in physics and religion.

Historical society booth at fair The Washington County Historical Society will again have a booth at the Washington County Fair starting Wednesday, Aug. 2 in Building C on the fairgrounds. This year the Historical Society will ask the question—which came fi rst, the chicken or the egg?

Washington County is one of the oldest areas in Minnesota for farming and for raising livestock. The question of which came fi rst digs right into the heritage of the county.

“It might be a funny question,” said Brent Peterson, WCHS Executive Director, “but it gives people something to think about when talking about the important agricultural area that Washington County continues to be.”

The Historical Society will have many local book titles for sale during the fair including those from Afton, Scandia, Woodbury, Oakdale and Stillwater. Other title topics include prison history, military history and ghost stories of Minnesota.

Kowalski’s employee bags Olympic medal in golf A Kenny two-some from White Bear Lake took second place last month in the 2017 National Special Olympics North America Golf tournament in Seattle. The father-son pair, Tom and Sean Kenny, played 18 holes a day over the course of three days as representatives of the Minnesota District.

Sean and his dad played together as unified partners, said mom Sherrie Kenny. Tom is a Special Olympic coach and volunteers as a van driver for Newtrax, transporting disabled persons from home to work.

Sherrie shared the golf news, noting,

“We have a community that supports people like Sean who works at the White Bear Kolwalski’s and is supported by Merrick Inc. and Enrich Inc., both companies that help the disabled with home and employment needs.”

Affected by Autism, Sean has been a Special Olympian since the age of 8, his mom said, and has hundreds of medals and ribbons from golf, track and field, swimming, bowling and downhill skiing.

“He is very proud of his accomplishments,” she added, “and shows them to all who are interested. Sean is also

a presenter at grade schools during Disability Awareness Month, teaching youth to be respectful to those who are different.

“There are few places in town that Sean goes without someone waving to him, or stopping us to say he is a fine young man and we are grateful,” Sherrie said. “It is our hope that more of the disabled are recognized for their community contributions and accomplishments, which will create more interactions and inclusion.”

National all-star archer: Mahtomedi teen is right on target

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Aiming an arrow at a 3-inch-wide bulls-eye in a target 10 to 15 yards away, and succeeding 296 times out of 300 — well, obviously, not many people can do that.

Mitch Munion, 14, of Mahtomedi, recorded that score in Louisville, Kentucky, on May 11-13, placing third in his age group, and fi fth overall among 7,730 archers, at the National Archery in the Schools (NASP) meet.

He had placed second in his age group at the state meet with 290 in Duluth on March 31.

“My goal this year is to get a perfect score, which is a 300,” said the husky young athlete. “For the near future, my goal is to get a few more fi rst places at state and nationals.”

The 300 score has been achieved only twice in 16 years of NASP competition, so that’s a tall order.

Kids shoot three rounds of five arrows each at 10 meters and again at 15 meters.

The 296 wasn’t even his personal record. He got a 297 once.

After starting archery at age 10, Munion learned quickly. He was both state and national champion in his 11-year-old division in 2014 with scores of 286 and 294, respectively, then took second in a world meet in Wisconsin with 288. He won his age group at state again in 2015 with 292 and took fi fth 2016 with 289.

Placing in the top 16 at nationals this year puts him on the NASP all-star team, for which he received a custom NASP bow.

Asked what it takes to be proficient at archery, Munion said, “You have to dedicate a lot of time to practice. Not a lot is about strength. It’s more about form.”

But strength also helps: “The more pounds you can pull back, the easier it is to aim, because the arrow flies faster.”

Asked what’s the hardest part of archery, he cited the need to always stay positive.

“Just because you shoot one bad arrow, it doesn’t mean you have to make the rest bad, too.”

Munion is a freshman-to-be at Mahtomedi and a member of the school archery team, along with the

football and trap-and-skeet shooting teams. He started with the White Bear Lake archery team before Mahtomedi started a team in 2012.

Munion comes from an archery family. His parents, Michelle Larson Hoppe and Doug Hoppe, are his coaches, along with Michelle Johnson-Dupre and Doug Jones. His sister Morgan, who’ll be a senior this fall, placed 57th nationally and has shot as high as 292.

“We appreciate the opportunity to spread the word about NASP,” Michelle told the White Bear Press while interviewed for this article. “It’s a great opportunity for so many students.”

NASP, created in 2002 by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources in response to lack of archery in school programs, has spread to 7.5 million students in nearly 9,000 schools in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

Former Bear athlete is Mounds View’s new activities director

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

SUBMITTED

Jim Galvin coached seven football teams to state tournaments before leaving the sideline for the activities director position.

White Bear Lake native Jim Galvin is the new activities director at Mounds View High School, ending a very successful tenure as their football coach.

Galvin, a physical education teacher for 26 years, succeeds Robert Madison, who resigned as A.D. to take a position with the Minnesota State High School League as associate director.

“Inside and outside the classroom, Jim has dedicated his career to ensuring students remain connected to their

schools, to their teachers and coaches and to each other,” said Stephanie Bruggers, principal of Mounds View High School, in a press release.

“He’s exceptionally qualified to continue our strong tradition of excellence.”

Commenting on his new role, on the Mounds View High School website, Galvin said: “Activities are an essential and valuable part of our students’ experience.

Whether our students are engaged in arts, academic or athletic activities, I want them to have a meaningful and positive experience.”

Galvin, who began his new role on July 1, coached seven Mustang football teams to state tournaments and had a total record of 89-40. He won 13 of the last 14 encounters with his alma mater.

The 1985 White Bear Lake graduate played for a state basketball championship team his senior year under his father and namesake, Jim Galvin Sr., while also playing football.

His football replacement has been named: Aaron Moberg, a Mounds View graduate who was one of his assistants.

Need more consistency out of a bunker? Try this shot If there’s one shot that separates good players from mediocre players, it’s the greenside bunker shot. There’s a standard method of teaching and it goes like this: play the ball forward, open your Tee Time stance, aim left of the target and swing Betsy outside to in. If that works for you, that’s Larey great and you can stop reading now.

What I don’t like about this method is you don’t swing outside to in for any other shot. That makes it difficult for the average golfer to do on a regular basis. I learned an easier, more consistent way to get out from Stan Utley a few years ago.

To execute the shot successfully, you need to understand the dynamics of the sand wedge. The sand wedge is the only club where the trailing edge is higher than the leading edge. This design allows the club to slide into the sand rather than dig straight down into it.

First, set up square to the target line with the face square or slightly open.

Spread your feet very wide (wider than with your driver) but tilt your spine slightly toward the target. The spine tilt left prevents you from dropping

your right shoulder through impact and making the club dig into the sand. This is the key to making this shot easy to execute.

A simple way to get the feel of the correct spine tilt is to set up with your feet shoulder width apart and bend your knees. Hold your club in your right hand. Now slide your left hand down the side of your left leg until you touch your left knee. That’s the correct tilt you need.

Your knees will bow slightly, almost like you’re sitting in a chair. Keep your ball position slightly forward of middle, under your left armpit, but set up farther away from the ball. This will force you to bend over more, and the grip will be closer to the ground than normal.

With the spine tilted slightly left (weight is on the left side as well), set up with your hands back behind the ball. I admit this is very different than what you’re used to, but what this does is increase the effective loft of the club dramatically, and fully exposes the bounce. You’re able to set up square to the target line and aim exactly where you want to hit it, without opening your stance and clubface and having to make that rough calculation for a lot of sidespin. In my opinion, that’s the hardest part of using the traditional bunker method.

The swing is a very narrow swing,

which means the elbows stay soft and the hands remain close to the body. You’re essentially picking up the clubhead with your wrists and hands, while keeping your hands close to your waist. This shot is way more wrists and hands than arms. The goal is to add speed on the clubhead end without adding speed on the grip end. On the backswing, the left wrist cups (bends in toward the body), as opposed to bowing back away from the body.

Your right elbow slides back along your side as you turn your hips. You need to keep your weight on the left side. From there, you simply throw the clubhead and slap the sand. You want your clubhead to pass your hands before you hit the ball. After impact, the club doesn’t rotate at all. The right palm is still facing up towards the sky. Finish with your chest facing the target, Hitting down on it with speed is what makes the ball go up in the air. To hit a high shot with a lot of spin, simply hit closer to the ball with more acceleration.

If you have a longer bunker shot, you simply add more arm swing, or hit a 52 degree wedge instead of a 56 or 58.

The one mistake I see players make over and over with bunker shots is this – they pull with the grip end instead of throwing the clubhead through the sand. That shot is not coming out of the bunker. You have to let the bounce

of the sand wedge work its magic and I think this method is by far the easiest way to do just that.

Here’s a great way to practice this shot.

Draw a line in the sand behind the ball and set your sand wedge on that line.

Make sure you pull the grip slightly back, and let the trailing edge of the club rest on the sand. Your goal is to bottom out your swing on that line and let the club slide under the ball. Most people who have a hard time with the bunker shot hit way behind the ball. By drawing the line, you can see exactly where you enter the sand. If you’re coming in early, you’ll know you’re not using enough wrist in your backswing.

I think unless you are playing in a league or a tournament, you should let your club rest on the sand until you are comfortable hitting this shot. Try and carve out some practice time if you want to get better at this shot.

Mahtomedi exits with two close losses at Legion state tourney

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Mahtomedi Legion baseball team made its second state tournament appearance of 2017 last week and came up empty, losing a pair of one-run games on Friday to finish 22-9.

The Sub-State 7 champions lost in the first round to Waconia 2-1 on Friday morning, the same score as their firstround loss in the state high school Class 3A tournament to the eventual champions. In fact, both games also went nine innings; the high school game had two extra innings, while Legion post-season play is all nine-inning games.

Mahtomedi then fell to the St. Cloud 76ers 7-6 in the afternoon. Both games were at Bethel University.

“We didn’t hit very well. We saw some good pitching. Both teams we played were very good,” coach Mark Dornfeld said.

Carter Shook went 4-for-8 and scored two runs, Austin Jerylo was 3-for-6 with a double, RBI and two runs, and Connor Henningsen 2-for-2 with two RBIs. On the mound, Grant Taival took the

loss against Waconia, going five innings and allowing a two-run homer. Jerylo and Jonah Smithson finished. Jack Schwietz pitched five innings against the 76ers, giving up a three-run homer.

Smithson finished and took the loss.

The 76ers’ winning run came on a squeeze bunt play in the last of the eighth in which Jerylo threw home and the runner was ruled safe, on what

Dornfeld said was a “very disputed” call.

Mahtomedi’s top hitters for the season were Jamie Berg, who hit around .450, and catcher Charlie Bartholemew, who hit around .350. Another key player was versatile Evan Reyes, a shortstop, outfielder and closer.

The main pitchers were Jerylo (who had the most wins and innings), Taival, Schwietz, and Shook. Infielders were Henry Laue, Sam Lapadat, and Shook, with Reyes and Shane Brown playing shortstop or outfield. Dornfeld was assisted by Jeff Laue.

In the high school season, Mahtomedi had long stretches where they couldn’t score runs, on the way to a final 15-12 record. The bats heated up in the summer and they were over .300 as a team heading into state.

Dornfeld noted that some of the seniors on the high school team didn’t play Legion because “sometimes seniors move on to what is the next thing for them” but added that the juniors behind them are “one of the best classes we’ve had.”

Restaurant helps complete old streetcar trail link WILLERNIE — The Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative (MAGI) and Roma Restaurant, Craft Bar and Brewery announce the opening of a consensual path that will connect Streetcar Trail and Stillwater Road across Roma’s parking lot.

This will complete the assembly of publicly owned trails and authorized connecting links for Streetcar Trail all the way from Streetcar Park at Mahtomedi’s north end through Willernie to the south end of Streetcar Trail near Southwest Park, read a press release provided by MAGI Trails Manager Steve Wolgamot and Chair Paul Hoff.

Mahtomedi has been working for decades to complete a trail along the original streetcar route and right of way, which was a community corridor dating back to the arrival of the streetcars in 1892.

That part of the trail near Katherine Abbott Park was completed when Henry DeWuske was mayor, and more recent additions from Juniper to Maple, and from Maple to Quail have made the trail nearly complete. Recent changes near Triangle Park further enhance the trail.

Roma’s new outdoor patio sits squarely on the old streetcar right of way and will be a welcome stop for those riding or walking the trail through the

community. Plans are IF YOU GO: underway to install a bike rack.

South of St. Judes Church the trail remains a dirt path, but the city of Mahtomedi has indicated its intention to improve that area in the next few years.

“Roma has graciously provided this useful link for the Streetcar Trail, and we are very grateful,” Wolgamot said. MAGI Chair Hoff also expressed his delight at the collaboration with Roma, which has been hosting MAGI’s monthly meetings for some time.

“This is the second 'Neighborway' trail in our community,” he pointed out. “These paths, devised here, and established under Minnesota Statute 604A.20, permit landowners such as Roma to authorize public use of their land for recreational purposes, creating useful pedestrian and bicycle linkages in the

Fines for not stopping for school buses increase

The White Bear Lake Area School District announced Alison Gillespie has been chosen to serve as the new White Bear Lake Area High School - North Campus principal, a position that opened when former principal Don Bosch was named principal at South Campus earlier this summer.

The newly-named North Campus principal has served as associate principal at Wayzata High School since 2011. Prior to that time, she served in leadership roles in the Richfield Career Education Program.

Her teaching career was focused on English Language Learning in middle school, high school, and alternative learning settings in Minnesota, Arizona and Wisconsin.

"Dr. Gillespie's varied experience in creating success for all students is something our community highlighted as an important quality for our new principal," said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak. "We look forward to her leading the strong North Campus staff team in working with students during their pivotal freshman and sophomore high school years Alison Gillespie to prepare for college and career."

Gillespie began Aug. 1.

From press release

State law requires all vehicles to stop for school buses when the bus driver activates the flashing lights and has the crossing arm fully extended.

Drivers who violate that law will face a larger fine since citations increase from $300 to $500 Aug. 1.

Motorists failing to stop for school buses continues to be a serious issue that risks children’s lives. During the annual School Bus Stop Arm Survey earlier this year, 3,659 bus drivers across the state reported 703 stop arm violations in just one day.

In the past six years, law enforcement across the state wrote nearly 9,000 stop arm violation citations.

In Minnesota, motorists must stop at least 20 feet from a school bus that is displaying red flashing lights or a stop arm when approaching from the rear and from the opposite direction on undivided roads.Motorists should slow down, pay attention and anticipate school children and buses, especially in neighborhoods and school zones.

As practice grows, so does need for new clinic

SUBMITTED

This architect’s rendering shows the new clinic planned for 2018.

BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The door for cats and the door for dogs will not be part of Lake Animal Hospital’s new veterinary clinic. However, there will be separate seating.

Owner Amy Kruchowski Phillips, DVM, plans to break ground next year for a 5,500-square-foot facility that will look much different than the building at 5900 Highway 61.

“We have outgrown our space,” said Phillips, who runs a four-doctor practice with only two exam rooms. “Expanding will allow us to offer more services and new equipment for pet health care.”

The Town Board approved the construction at its July 24 meeting.

Completion should be some time in 2018. Also noteworthy: The current facility will remain open while the new clinic is built behind it. Once completed, the old building will be demolished.

Phillips bought Lake Animal Hospital from Dennis Brewer, DVM, in 2008. Her website says the veterinarian found her “forever home” when she came to practice in White Bear Lake.

Town Planner Tom Riedesel said the lot does intrude on a safety zone for neighboring Benson Airport, which prevents buildings from being constructed above ground. However, only a parking lot will go into the zone, which is allowable.

In other action at the July 24 meeting, the board: • Heard from Paul Gardner from Simple Recycling on a pick-up proposal for the township. The company picks up soft recyclables, such as clothes and resells or repurposes the items. The goal of the company is to reduce textile waste in the United States. The program would not cost the city anything.

“Americans throw away about 85 percent of our clothing and textiles still, even with the charitable drop-off organizations that exist in the United States,” Gardner said. “There are willing and paying markets for this material.”

Simple Recycling would pick up bags with items from homes. The household would call and order the bag ahead of time.

The board authorized the town attorney to come up with an agreement which, if ready in time, could be decided at the

next meeting on Aug. 7.

• Heard from Town Clerk Bill Short on the town hall restoration project. A campaign will begin Sept. 1 to raise money for the project, with donation levels ranging from $1 to $5000 and above.

• Approved the consent agenda, which included setting a public hearing for Aug. 21 on the modification of the TIF district and two three-dog license requests.

• Authorized a part-time administrative intern position for the rest of the summer. The candidate selection would be within two weeks and the budget impact would be about $3,000 coming from an already existing parks fund.

• Increased the park dedication fee from $1,000 to $3,500 per lot. Funding raised from the fee is put in a Park Acquisition and Development Fund.

Youth-run Wiffle ball league raises funds for those in need

BY RYAN DEPAUW NEWS INTERN

When you think about the different activities kids can do during the summer months, Wiffle ball is probably on that list.

But for brothers Austin, 11, and Ethan,10, Felling of Dellwood, Wiffle ball is more than just a game; it became a way to give back to their community.

“We went to Hawaii for spring break and we met this boy from Vermont that started his own Wiffle ball league,” Ethan said. “So we started a Wiffle ball league, and we’re going to give (the proceeds) to St. Andrews Resource Center.”

All proceeds (after expenses) from their newly formed league, A & E’s Wiffle Ball League, go to the church resource center to help support local families in need.

“It feels good. We’re just giving more and giving back,” Austin said. “All the kids enjoy it so much. We even have a concession stand. At the last game, the concession stand made $52.”

With four teams made up of boys ages 10 to 13, the brothers took the route of naming them after minor league baseball organizations.

“There’s the Storm Chasers, IronPigs, the Aces and Sky Sox,” Ethan said.

The league found a sponsor in Blizzard Baseball and its founder, Adam Barta. Austin and

WIFFLE BALL: Blizzard baseball owner joins in cause by donating shirts FROM PAGE 8B

Ethan, who have played for Blizzard, approached Barta with the idea of starting their own league, and Barta offered to buy all the shirts needed for them to start.

“We want to give a special shoutout to Adam Barta and Blizzard for sponsoring us,” Austin said. “They have our names on the back. Without the sponsor, we wouldn’t have been able to get them.”

“It was really generous of him to pay for the shirts,” added Becky Felling, Austin and Ethan’s mother.

“It was a good lesson for the kids, too, to fi nd a sponsor and raise money.”

She noted that they set a goal of raising $1,000, but have already surpassed it with $1,300 thus far.

The boys created their own rules, picked dates to play at the Quads baseball fields in Mahtomedi and even have a tournament planned for the end of the season.

There are no umpires and no adult coaches. Instead, each team has two co-captains who decide on close calls.

“It truly is a kid-run league,” Becky said.

“ATOMIC BLONDE” (R) [SEQUENCES OF STRONG VIOLENCE, LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT, AND SOME SEXUALITY/NUDITY.] — After an MI6 agent (Sam Hargrave)

is killed by a Russian KGB agent (Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson) who steals a valuable list of agents in Berlin in 1989 in this entertaining, fast-paced, twist-filled, unpredictable, violent, star-studded (John Goodman, Toby Jones, Bill Skarsgård, Til Schweiger and Sofia Boutella), 115-minute thriller based on Oni Press’s graphic novel series “The Coldest City” and Antony Johnston’s novel “Atomic Blonde” and highlighted by nonstop action, terrific choreography and a surprise ending, an MI6 agent (Charlize Theron) heads to Berlin where she is joined by another agent (James McAvoy) to retrieve the dead body, find the missing list and escort a man (Eddie Marsan) who has risked his life and memorized the list out of West Berlin to safety.

The last week of the month ended pretty much the way the opening week began, on a dry note. For the month, much of the Twin Cities will total drier than normal. I’ve totaled only 1.92” of rain this July, less than half of what I’ve should’ve received.

Temperatures finished slightly warmer than normal with the airport totaling five 90° days while I totaled four 90° days this July. As we enjoy the last full month of summer, the Dog Days are upon us and there is still plenty of time to plan a week-long or weekend getaway.

“GIRLS TRIP” (R)

novelist (Regina Hall) invites her three best friends, including a broke gossip blogger (Queen Latifah), a smothering mother (Jade Pinkett Smith) and a foul-mouthed unemployed woman (Tiffany Haddish) to the Essence Festival in New Orleans for a three-day weekend in this raunchy, risqué, funny, bawdy, wacky, star-studded (Kate Walsh, Larenz Tate, Mike Epps, Morris Chestnut, Carla Hall, Mariah Carey, Common, Sean Combs, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Iyanla Vanzant, Ne-Yo, MC Lyte, Ma$e, et al.), 122-minute comedy, all hell breaks loose after they drink too much and it comes to light that the her husband (Mike Colter) is cheating on her with a gorgeous Instagram model (Deborah Ayorinde).

“THE GRANDMASTER” (PG-13)

arts choreography dominate director’s Wong Kar Wai’s factually based, action-packed, 110-minute, 2013 biopic that chronicles the tumultuous life of legendary Wing Chun kung fu master Ip Man (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) from 1936 in China where he meets skilled Gong master Gong Er (Ziyi Zhang) to his move to Hong Kong in 1950 after the Second Sino-Japanese War.

“OKJA” (NR) [PARTIALLY SUBTITLED.] [NETFLIX AND DVD ONLY] — Over-the-top characters dominate this poignant,

disturbing, thought-provoking, gut-wrenching, 118-minute satire in which a South Korean orphan (Ahn Seo-Hyun), who lives with her grandfather in the mountains, follows her smart, endearing, genetically engineered, gargantuan superpig to New York City to rescue her friend with the help of the Animal Liberation Front members (Paul Dano, Lily Collins, Steven Yeun, Daniel Henshall and Devon Bostick) who plan on exposing the cruel experiments being performed in a laboratory and shutting down the slaughterhouse where hundreds of massive, intelligent swine are being killed and packaged by a profit hungry, multi-national CEO (Tilda Swinton) and her lackeys (Jake Gyllenhaal, Giancarlo Esposito, Shirley Henderson, et al.).
