Hands-free cellphone bill now law: Here’s what to know BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER
BY THE NUMBERS
While driving, Minnesotans should ensure that their hands remain on their wheels—and not on their phones. Holding a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle is now illegal in Minnesota, as the hands-free cellphone bill, signed by Gov. Tim Walz in April, took effect Aug. 1. Since 2013, it has been illegal in Minnesota to send text messages or access the internet while driving, but phone calls were permitted, so long as the driver wasn’t distracted. Under the new law, drivers cannot hold a cellphone— or use one to type, scroll or view content—while operating a motor vehicle, including while stopped in traffic or at a light. If caught, drivers face a petty misdemeanor, which carries a $50 fine. Add in court fees, and that fine could total $130. Subsequent violations carry a $275 fine, plus court fees. With the new law now in effect, Minnesota has joined 17 states and Washington, D.C., in requiring drivers to have their phones in hands-free or voice-activated mode while operating a vehicle. Supporters of the law hope that Minnesota will see results similar to those in other states, where traffic fatalities have decreased by 15% on average since such laws took effect. The dangers of distraction Each year, nearly 20% of crashes throughout Minnesota are related to distracted driving. From 2014 to 2018, more than 60,000 accidents were caused by drivers who were looking at their phones at the time of the crash. Likewise, distracted driving results in an average of 45 deaths and approximately

Megan Goeltz (right) died Feb. 29, 2016 in a distracted driving related crash in West Lakeland Township. She was stopped at an intersection when another car came flying out of a roadside ditch and collided with her Ford Fusion.
200 life-changing injuries per year, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. That’s a set of statistics that Tom Goeltz, of Hudson, knows all too well. A safety and risk management consultant, he spends a significant part of his workweek educating audiences about the dangers of driving while distracted, but the issue is also personal to him. In February 2016, his daughter Megan was killed in a crash caused by a distracted driver.
“It was a classic distracted driving case. There was kind of a bend in the road, and (the driver) never took the turn. He kept going straight and rolled into a ditch,” Goeltz said. “He rolled through the ditch for about 75 feet, and came up on a crossroad, where Megan was waiting at a stoplight, waiting to turn onto the highway …. He never even slowed down; he was traveling 54 miles per hour when he hit her.” SEE DISTRACTED DRIVING, PAGE 8A
Neighbors still keeping watch over Water Gremlin BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The watchdog group founded to hold Water Gremlin accountable for toxic air emissions says the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is failing to enforce imposed limits. The White Bear Township company is operating in direct violation of terms of the stipulation agreement with MPCA, note members of the Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group (NCCG). Section “tt” in that agreement, signed March 1 between the MPCA commissioner and the president of Water Gremlin, states that exceedance of the 70 micrograms per cubic meter daily limit of FluoSolv, or DCE
(dichloroethylene), means the company must reduce the amount released and set a new, lower, daily limit. That number can return to 70 micrograms when laboratory results show Water Gremlin no longer exceeds the preset amount. “MPCA has been ignoring section 'tt' by pretending it doesn't exist,” said Leigh Thiel, NCCG board member, at a July City Hall meeting. “We are showing them, 'Look, here is where Water Gremlin is in violation: six instances 50 to 100% over the limit; 10 where emissions were 100 to 300% over and four times when they exceeded 300%.” The MPCA website has a graph that shows cumulative total emissions of volatile organic compounds from Water Gremlin, including DCE emissions from
Over 44 Years Experience
FluoSolv. After four months, Water Gremlin is almost halfway to its annual emissions limit of 90 tons. “That is concerning to people with impacted immune systems,” noted NCCG President Sherry Hastings, adding citizens are fearful about health impacts and environmental damages from the chemicals. The neighborhood group claimed a small win in its efforts to keep Water Gremlin in check last month when MPCA denied an extension to get its pollution equipment in working order. However, the $500 per day fine imposed by the agency until testing was completed didn't amount to much. According to Hastings, the company immediately SEE WATCHDOGS, PAGE 9A

Summerfest celebrates 10 years IF YOU GO:
BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
St. Mary of the Lake has raised about $100,000 over the last 10 years through its summer concert event, called Summerfest. The event began 10 years ago by the church's maintenance committee as a way to raise funds to restore the church, said committee chair Davin Brandt. Money has been used to fix the church's stained glass windows and roof. Energy-efficient lights were added to the church. Money has also been used for Frassati Catholic Academy; for example, security doors were added to prevent unwanted visitors from accessing the children. The concert continues to raise funds for ongoing maintenance needs at the church and school. “It's a really old building so there are constant needs,” Brandt noted. “We are a volunteer committee looking for what else we can do to keep this building standing.” Over the years, the event has turned into more than a fundraiser. It's become a community-wide event.
Gate opens at 5 p.m., Aug. 17: Grilled food, beer, wine, soda, and Cup n Cone available Music starts at 6 p.m.: Featuring “The Elements” classic rock band Playing at 7:30 p.m.: “The Good, The Bad, and The Funky” funk, soul, rhythm and blues band Location: Frassati Ball field, 4690 Bald Eagle Ave. Cost: $15, Youth 14 and under free Tickets: visit StMarys-wbl.org/Summer-fest
“It's not a church bake sale,” Brandt noted. The committee has started to see lots of faces it doesn't recognize at the concert. The last three years, Martin Zeller played at the event. “That was just a really fun thing to see people in the community enjoying some music and having some great food and drink,” Brandt noted. Also a sight to behold is when Father Talbot sings on stage, Brandt said. He's been gracing the stage the last several years.

Bad news part 2
received positive feedback on my column earlier this summer on bad news, so I am expanding on the topic. In my last column, I explained how I don’t like bad news. However, I explained how bad news is important to report because it reminds us of the consequences of crime and carelessness. It also encourages us to care about those around us. When bad things happen, we can be neighbors who stop and help or offer prayers and thoughts from a distance. I think a reader who called to compliment my column said it best. She said the news is important to follow because it helps one to “conjure up compassion for the Story wrongs of the world.â€? She also noted something about bad news Chaser that I was hoping to expand on — Sara Marie Moore the good news that is often hidden within bad news. This thought reminds me of what Mr. Rogers said his mother told him when they saw bad news: “Look for the helpers.â€? Mr. Rogers passed on this wisdom to the world through his children’s television show. When bad things happen, there are always people who come to help — ďŹ rst responders, ofďŹ cers, volunteers, friends and family. These are the types of people who can turn bad news into better news. When 12 boys went missing inside a cave in Thailand last summer, it was bad news. But good news came when they were found and rescued by an international effort involving thousands of people. It would have been really bad news in White Bear Lake last month if there had been no helpers when a gas line was accidentally struck by a utility crew. But ďŹ reďŹ ghters quickly evacuated the area and put in a hose line in case the gas ignited. A potential catastrophe was averted. You can either moan and complain about whomever mislabeled the gas line or you can look at the bright side and see how an accident was rectiďŹ ed without an explosion or any injuries. It was bad news this summer when several homes in the northeast metro were broken into by a group of thieves, and credit cards and cars were stolen. But police ofďŹ cers were hot on their trail. It was devastating when a Hugo dancer went into cardiac arrest during a concert this summer. But it was serendipitous that an EMT, doctor and nurse were in the audience. They began CPR right away. Fortunately, she is expected to fully recover. Not all bad news turns out so well. But even in the worst news, there might be good news that comes out of it. Within mass shootings, there are often heroes. When hurricanes strike, people come long distances to help. When young girls are sold for sex, people who don’t even know them rise up to help stop trafďŹ cking. Members of the Minnesota Human TrafďŹ cking Investigators Task Force and Ramsey County Attorney John Choi will present on what they are doing to stop sex trafďŹ cking in Minnesota at the Shoreview Community Center from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 13. The event is hosted by the Shoreview Human Rights Commission. I encourage you to attend to learn about the bad news — the prevalence of trafďŹ cking — and the good news about what is being done to stop it. Bad news isn’t good but if you take the time to “Look for the helpers,â€? you’ll see the silver lining in the clouds. Sara Marie Moore is editor of the Shoreview Press and Vadnais Heights Press.

New laws will help keep Minnesotans safe on road
W
hether driving up to the cabin, carpooling kids to camp, or towing your boat to the lake, Minnesotans spend much of the summer on the road. From these busy ďŹ nal weeks of summer to the dead of winter, we must do everything we can to ensure our families arrive where they’re going safely. That is why I signed three bills into law this year that will help keep Minnesotans safe Movers & behind the wheel. They became effective Aug. 1, and Shakers here’s what you Gov. Tim Walz need to know. Clocking many il d i i my daughter to miles driving soccer games, I know ďŹ rsthand how frustrating it is to get stuck behind a car going slowly in the left lane. Not only is it annoying, it poses a safety hazard by disrupting the ow of trafďŹ c. Minnesota has long had a requirement that slowermoving motorists use the right lane and allow others to pass when practicable. But to ensure this is being followed, this law has been modernized to make clear that slow drivers must move over to the right lane, and could be subject to a ďŹ ne if they create a trafďŹ c hazard. The law doesn’t give folks permission to speed, but will help mitigate trafďŹ c hazards and road rage. We all know summer in
STATE OF MINNESOTA | SUBMITTED
Minnesota is also known as “construction season.â€? And that is not just a saying. In fact, there are more than 220 active work zones scheduled throughout our state this season. These work zones present different trafďŹ c patterns, changing speeds, and even road obstacles. Over the past three years, 31 Minnesotans have died and over 120 have been seriously injured in work zones. A new law effective August 1 allows police ofďŹ cers to issue a citation to drivers who violate instructions from work zone aggers based on a report from that worker. It will help reduce crashes in work zones, provide a safer workplace for construction workers, and ensure the people who build our roads and bridges get home safely to their families. Finally, I am honored to have signed a law this year to help prevent distracted driving. One of the most emotional moments of my time as governor so far was the signing ceremony for this bill. Surrounded by the families of Minnesotans who have lost their lives due to distracted drivers, it was a time to acknowledge how they have turned personal tragedy into advocacy. Distracted
driving, on average, plays a role in one in ďŹ ve crashes in Minnesota. Too many of these crashes have resulted in deaths. That is why we worked with these brave families to pass a law that prohibits drivers from holding a phone while driving. The law allows cell phone use, but only in hands-free mode or using one-touch activation. While these families know there is no way to get back stolen graduation ceremonies, birthday parties, and wedding days, this law will help ensure more Minnesotans make it home to their loved ones. There’s not much better than the open road during the summer — driving up I-35W for a weekend on Lake Vermilion or down MN60 to visit friends in Mankato. Kids laughing, windows down, and Tom Petty on the radio is the backdrop of some of my favorite memories. That’s the way it should be, and I am proud of these new laws to help keep Minnesotans safe on the road. Stay safe out there, and enjoy these ďŹ nal days of summer. See you at the Fair! Tim Walz is governor of Minnesota.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Questions come to mind regarding bond referendum In reading about the upcoming $326 million bond referendum, some questions came to mind. • Has there been an estimate of numbers of students expected to graduate, move from the district, or choose other educational options such as private or charter school or homeschooling during this projected increase of 2000 students in the next 10 years? • Has a group of advisors begun to estimate instructional needs — updated texts, additional qualified teachers, student services — that will be needed for these additional students? Will levies be required for these needs? Having lived here over 40 years, I expect more than one levy request in the future “for the kids.” • What will be done with the open space around Sunrise, now playing fields, track and recently redone tennis courts? Will the property be sold, perhaps for housing? • (Superintendent) Mr. Kazmierczak says there will be no talk of eminent domain as long as he is around. And how long will that be? Superintendents are not immune to offers of better pay and better districts. • When we moved here, Sunrise was a junior high. Then it was closed, everyone went to Central, the district offices eventually were established at Sunrise along with Early Childhood and the Senior
Center. Then Sunrise was renovated and reopened as a school, offices went to Central. Now the offices are coming back to Sunrise, after renovations, along with ECFE and the Senior Center. The point is, no decision by the school district is permanent. Twenty-five years from now, when we fi nally pay off this bond referendum, what will the district confi guration be? Different from what is proposed now and paid for with more solicited funds? This is a referendum White Bear Lake residents should think carefully about before casting their votes. Cindy Paslawski White Bear Lake
America nothing like Germany after WWI By publishing Dr. Paul Reitman's letter in the July 17 issue, the White Bear Press has blatantly violated its own guidelines for letter submission and needs to issue an apology to its readers. The letter contains several "libelous or derogatory statements" which are inaccurate. Dr. Reitman attempts to draw a comparison between the events in Germany after WWI which permitted the ascension of the monster Adolf Hitler, and today's America and the election of Donald Trump. Nothing could be more inaccurate. Postwar Germany struggled to establish democratic government under the Weimar republic, after centuries of governance of strong
feudal states under a Kaiser (king). The economy of Germany was in collapse. The German people had to learn democracy, had no resources to do so, and the Weimar republic wasn't strong enough to see it through — hence the opportunity for the emergence of an individual such as Hitler. America is nothing like Germany after WWI. The very notion that Trump is like Hitler is the worst kind of libelous, derogatory slander one can imagine. Dr. Reitman decries Mr. Trump's "sexual predatory behavior" without fact. While one may consider reports of Mr. Trump's past encounters as egregious and disgusting, to my knowledge he's not been accused of sexual crimes at any time. Mr. Trump is accused of "war crimes against humanity" — a ridiculous premise. There is no "war," no one is being killed and no "crime" is being committed by the enforcement of the laws of the U.S. Dr. Reitman asks, "What would we do today?" The answer is straightforward, though it seems to elude him. Become educated; make thoughtful, reasoned choices in life and when voting; and support the rule of law. If a law is bad, work to change it, but obey it. Randall K. Johnson White Bear Lake
Running out of golden eggs It would appear the White Bear Lake School Board is proud of the
state-record $326 million referendum like a trophy from the state high school league for the high school trophy case. This is one they should be ashamed and embarrassed of and not proud of at all. We are all for ambitious educational programs but this amount of money at this time has crossed over into the great abyss of fi scal insanity. So much of this money is going into district centers and administration offices; where is your fi scal responsibility to your constituents? There is a line item for acquisition of any home that becomes available on Bald Eagle Avenue and by your own admission “not that we need it now, but just in case we need a parking lot or sports field someday.” They obviously don’t care what this will do to one of the most beautiful avenues in White Bear. Instead of a treelined drive with beautiful homes set back, the avenue will become a wide alley with views of school parking lots and the backs of institutional buildings. This $6 million line item is at least unnecessary and at worst frivolous and wasteful. It seems all taxing agencies work in silos and forget who else is picking our pockets. The city just assessed my property $1,300 for mill and overlay of our street. I think the city, county and school districts need to communicate about how they are spending our money or they may just kill that goose, as it will certainly run out of golden eggs.

Walking with loved ones through their past BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
A common lament after a loved one dies: “I wish I had asked more questions.” White Bear Township historian and writer, Tricia Nissen, is helping families avoid that sorrow. Nissen has launched a business called Storyography, which takes an interesting local angle on ancestry research. She hopes the popularity of DNA testing and genealogy research will create momentum for capturing more life stories from our living elders before those stories disappear. Nissen’s objective is to be a leader in changing the sentiment of “I wish we’d asked mom or dad more questions while they were still around,” to “let’s record the stories now.” “I have a passion for history and storytelling,” said Nissen, who describes herself as equal parts historian, biographer and old soul. Growing up on a North Dakota beef and small grains farm, she didn’t have many playmates. Her high school class had 12 graduates. “I grew up in the middle of nowhere,” Nissen noted. “I didn’t know other kids, I knew older people. I was surrounded by them and went with my parents to visit older people. From a young age, I loved it. I always sat quietly listening to their stories. I would ask questions and learned the local folklore approach to stories.” Easing the loneliness of elders is part of her mission
to preserve history. Nissen wants elders to feel truly valued in her “meaningful visits” to interview them in a warm, personal and conversational way. “I learned to admire and appreciate elders and their many life experiences. It led me to this (Storyography), and gave me a purpose in my life,” Nissen said. Finding her purpose came after Nissen’s own personal tragedy. Her story goes like this: Nissen, who holds a master’s degree in history, moved to the Twin Cities in 1997, following a boyfriend who would become her husband. She took a job with Goff Public, a public relations agency. For the next 19 years, she worked as a writer and researcher, mostly for Native American tribes and organizations. She also spent a year as director of public relations with the Mille Lacs band of Ojibwe after leaving Goff in 2017. Then everything changed when her husband Chad took his own life July 3, 2018. He was 48. His death gave her a new feeling of purpose. “We get one chance to live this life,” Nissen maintained. “After my dad died in 2017 and then Chad died, I knew exactly what my purpose was, and I needed to get busy living that purpose.” Her time spent with Native American culture reinforced her new career direction. “I learned to love their way of respecting elders,” noted Nissen. “I want to grow old in a culture where people want to come visit me and spend genuine time with me. If we put as much emphasis on older people as younger

Projects vary from a photo album to a complete story. Nissen can also help archive old photographs as a record of family history.
people, our culture will be better for it.” A former co-worker, Chris Duffy with Goff Public, describes Nissen as an “emerging person to know in Minnesota’s aging space.” It was Duffy who suggested this story. For more information on how Nissen turns life stories into “the gift of history,” visit storyographybytricia.com or email Tricia@StoryographybyTricia.com. Packages start at $1,975 for five hours of interviews, transcription and soft edits. She is busy, Nissen said. Clients come to her happy to have found her. “Every project is a little different, but most people want the interview. There is nothing I would rather do than sit across the table and listen to grandpa or grandma’s stories. People are usually comfortable sharing both the hardest and happiest times in their lives. I love walking through the past with them. We need to make their history relevant.”
Tricia Nissen has been interviewing people her whole life and feels a connection with the elderly. She’s holding one of her photo projects.
DISTRACTED DRIVING: How to go hands-free
The new law requires hands-free use of cell phones. You can use your phone like this:

Megan was brought to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, where she was pronounced dead. Then 22, she was pregnant with her second child when she died. “Right now, I should be holding a two-and-a-half-yearold grandson,” Goeltz said. Megan’s daughter, Paisley, was three when her mother died. “She probably won’t even remember her mother, other than what we talk about and show her to try to keep (Megan’s) memory alive,” Goeltz said. Due to his job, Goeltz has been a longtime advocate for distraction-free driving, but Megan’s sudden death motivated him to become even more active. He has been a vocal supporter of the hands-free cellphone bill. “I’m proud and happy that this is now law, but hands-free isn’t risk-free. When I present, I tell people not to use their phone at all—turn it off; put it into airplane mode,” he said. “Even hands-free doesn’t help with the cognitive distraction, and that’s the really bad part of the distraction.” However, Goeltz nevertheless sees the hands-free law as an important and much-needed addition to Minnesota’s traffic laws. “At the end of the day, if we save 15% of Minnesota drivers and people driving through Minnesota, that’s great,” he said. “But I’d like to save everybody. I want zero tolerance (for distracted driving) because one life lost is too many …. I

do this out of love and respect for Megan and her son. They can’t speak anymore, but they can speak through me.”
How to go hands-free Lisa Kons, Traffic Safety Programs Manager at the Minnesota Safety Council, emphasized that hands-free means completely hands-free: holding a cellphone at all while operating a motor vehicle unless in the case of an emergency, is against the law. “That means no typing, no swiping, no scrolling, and the biggie is that you
cannot use a cellphone, or any other communicative device, while you’re a part of traffic and in motion,” she said. “If you’re pulled over and safely out of the way of traffic, that’s one thing, but if you’re driving or at a light, no holding your phone, no looking down at it.” Kons said that modern-day gadgets and smartphone technology can make the hands-free transition smoother for drivers. She recommended that drivers use Bluetooth to sync their phones with their cars’ stereo system. For older vehicles without Bluetooth capabilities or AUX

jacks, cassette adapters, which come with a cord that plugs into standard headphone jacks, function the same way. Like Goeltz, Kons emphasized that hands-free and distraction-free are not synonymous, as the safest way to use a phone while driving is to simply not use it at all. “If you must use your phone, be handsfree. But the real safe thing to do is not to use your phone at all,” Kons said. “The fact of the matter is we want your eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, and head in the game. Be aware of the task at hand, which is driving.”

WATCH DOGS: Group claims small wins FROM PAGE 1A
fi led a complaint after the denial, as allowed per the stipulation agreement, and the penalty stopped. “We were told by MPCA they will only pay $2,000,” she said. Water Gremlin, maker of lead fi shing lures and battery terminals, has been required to sample air at five locations near the edge of its property for a number of volatile organic compounds, including DCE. Samples are collected for 24 hours every three days and analyzed by Pace Analytical, an independent environmental fi rm. Until recently, sampling results were going directly to Water Gremlin. That was another point of contention to the NCCG. Hastings said the company was receiving emissions data fi rst and then forwarding results to MPCA. “That was unacceptable to our community,” maintained Hastings, who iterated she mistrusts a company that has violated terms of its air quality permit since at least 2002. So, like they've been doing for the last five months, the NCCG emailed MPCA, “copying everyone under the sun,” asking that the process be changed. “We were told by Jeff Smith (MPCA industrial division director) that Pace will be sending results directly to MPCA,” Hastings said, chalking up another small win for the five women who serve on the NCCG board. Meanwhile, Water Gremlin con-
tinues to test its pollution control equipment, a process that was only supposed to take three or four weeks (see side story). The neighborhood group contends that Water Gremlin is a “serial violator” and should not be allowed to continue operations unless its emissions fall within state standards to protect those living nearby. Water Gremlin got in trouble with MPCA when the company admitted its pollution control equipment was malfunctioning, resulting in release of toxic TCE that far exceeded its allowable limit, a violation dating back at least 17 years. The offending carcinogen is no longer used by Water Gremlin in its manufacturing process. The replacement solvent is DCE, a chemical the company considers “non-hazardous,” according to Thiel. Not much is known about the alternative, but citizens are worried. MPCA has agreed to install two more air monitors, one at Birch Lake Elementary School and one at Columbia Park, to test how far emissions are traveling. The agency has also committed to do additional testing of Lambert Creek and surrounding wetlands. “Our purpose is to understand the impact of pollutants from Water Gremlin,” said Hastings. “We want to understand what happened in the past and protect the future. People should know we are not done with this.”

SUBMITTED
The Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group feels MPCA is ignoring the above section, “tt”, of the stipulation agreement with Water Gremlin.
Water Gremlin not happy with pollution control equipment Water Gremlin released this statement Aug. 1 after testing its equipment: “Our new pollution control system was recently tested, and we were not satisfied with its performance. To ensure our compliance with regulated limits, we have been developing an alternative option that is focused on pollution prevention. After conversing with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), we have decided to resubmit our permit application using this approach. The approach that we are pursuing involves replacing a solvent currently used in our coating process with a water-based alternative. This will be a more effective way to ensure that we are following the MPCA’s guidelines and staying below the federal emission standards at our facility, and is the most environmentally responsible way to continue our operations. We will continue to collaborate with the MPCA as this process evolves, including the ongoing air emissions monitoring already in place. We will also continue to share relevant updates along the way.” According to spokesman Chris Duffy, a water-based alternative solvent enables the company to decrease its usage of DCE and stay within emissions standards. “This new approach is in response to the new pollution control equipment not meeting Water Gremlin’s satisfaction,” he said. “The company is optimistic that these new processes will result in lower emissions and long-term compliance.”

1969
Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.
William Sell of Mahtomedi has just been appointed by Governor Harold LeVander to the 11-member State Zoological Board created by the 1969 legislature. The board will acquire, purchase, construct, equip and maintain a Minnesota Zoological Garden which will be located within the Twin City area. In addition to the care and exhibition of wildlife, the garden will have facilities for public entertainment and information.
1919 The local postmaster is wearing a smile these days because of a new ruling just issued by the Postal Department affecting the local post office. Realizing the unusual conditions in this post office during the summer months they have allowed Postmaster Campbell to employ an extra clerk for these busy months. An increased permanent clerk hire has also been allowed.
1944 Frank Guarnera, prominent Mahtomedi buisinessman passed away Monday Morning, July 31, 1944, after several weeks illness. He is survived by his wife, Alice (Kilroy); sons Edward of Los Angeles, Staff Sgt J. Vincent, U. S. A., daughter, Ens. Grace, USNR., and Mrs. Louis Brown of Minneapolis; sister, Mrs. Pauline Naso and brother, Louis, both of Marion, Ia., and brother John of San Francisco; also four grandchildren.
1994 Blanche Kohler, long-time White Bear Lake resident and widow of popular local ice cream manufacturer Henry Kohler, died last month. She was 90. Mrs. Kohler (nee Houle), a former Centerville resident, was one of six children born to William and Helen Houle…On October 8, 1924, she was married to Henry Kohler and purchased and operated a dairy store on Washington Avenue, which the two later sold. For several decades the Kohlers operated their ice cream business, Kohler Ice Cream Mix.

Weather tidbits
Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake. Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.
WEATHER TIDBIT Last week defined truly what the Dog Days of Summer are all about. Light winds, warm temperatures and humidity. Even the slightest hint of wind was welcomed. The atmosphere above us has warmed and the jet stream has pushed north into Canada and left us very little potential for showers and storms. If you did receive a shower consider yourself fortunate. We’ve been on the dry side now for a couple weeks as rain has been hit or miss. With the light winds and warm temperatures, I’ve noticed an up tick in the number of people at the beach on the lake. A perfect place to be. Despite our lack of rain, White Bear Lake water level is holding strong at 924.9 feet compared to 923.7 a year ago.

White Bear Lake hosts Opti championship More than 100 young sailors from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois converged on White Bear Lake July 28-30 to compete in the annual Inland Lakes Yachting Association Optimist Dinghy Championships. The single-handed boats are sailed by boys and girls, ages 6-14. Competition is divided by experience and age groups, with two fleets on separate courses on the water simultaneously. The less experienced sailors, some of whom were sailing in their first regattas, sailed in the Green Fleet, while the more experienced sailed in the Red, White and Blue Fleet, where scoring is divided by the sailors’ ages. The wind and weather proved perfect on Monday and Tuesday, with good winds and cool temperatures. Both fleets completed seven races, with plenty of time to have fun on shore, swim and play yard games. White Bear Lake sailors in the Red, White, and Blue Fleet included Emerson Siefken, Robbie Dresen, Angus Levins, Connor Boyle, Audrey Siefken and
Landon Kruse. Green Fleet White Bear Lake sailors included Finn Winke, Hannah Markell, Dino Gonzalez-Hoffman, Nora Boyle and Tanner Rendall. Interestingly, the first meeting to form the Inland Lake Yachting Association was held at the Ramaley Pavilion on the shores of White Bear Lake. Text from the historical panels in the Boat Works Commons community room reads: “White Bear Yacht Club sailors, under the leadership of club secretary, John W. Taylor, forged the organization that would govern all scow racing in the Mid-
west. On August 24, 1897, Taylor called together representatives of ten Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois lakes at the nearby Ramaley Pavilion to create the Inland Lake Yachting Association (ILYA). The ‘Inland,’ as it became known, remains one of the largest and most vital yacht racing associations in North America. Several classes of scows once built here — A, E, C, MC, and Optimist Dinghy— are being raced in the ILYA and other parts of the country through national class organizations.” Submitted

Zephyr star Hadley transfers to Cretin-Derham Hall BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
J’vonne Hadley was one of the stars of the Pacesetter Sweet 16 tournament this past weekend, but not for the Mahtomedi Zephyrs. Instead, Hadley delivered the game-winning, last-second shot in the championship game for Cretin-Derham Hall. The 6-6 guard who averaged 28.5 points (fifth-best in the state) for the Zephyrs this past season, and led them to their first state tournament since 1961, has transferred to the St. Paul private school for his final season. “It happened a couple months ago,” Hadley said. “I figured, why not? My last year, why not go out with a bang.” Hadley was point guard for the Raiders in the Sweet 16, an annual summer clash of leading teams from each of the four classes, held at College of St. Benedict, near St. Cloud. They blew out three teams to reach the finals, where they edged another perennial power, Park Center, 78-76. In the closing seconds, Hadley slashed into the lane, missed a runner, but soared for the tip-in basket at the buzzer. (Mahtomedi, invited after last year’s state appearance, won two of four games, sans Hadley.) Cretin-Derham Hall, coached by Jerry Kline, boasts one of the top basketball programs in the state. They were Class 4A state champions in 2018 and section runner-up last year. Hadley will give the Raiders a third Division I-calibre player and a good chance for another state title. He will join senior Curtis Jones and sophomore Tre
Holloman, who transferred to CDH last year, from Minneapolis South and Minneapolis North, respectively. It was Holloman, a friend from the elite summer Howard Pulley League, who brought up the subject of Hadley transferring, too. “At first, it was just joking around,” Hadley said, “but then I thought, maybe I should.” The Mahtomedi coaches were “kinda mad about it, at first” but eventually wished him well, Hadley said. Hadley, also an outstanding football wide receiver and defensive back for Mahtomedi, said his gridiron days are probably over. “I don’t think I’ll play football,” he said. “I don’t want to get hurt. You know, for basketball.” Hadley has offers from North Carolina-Greensboro, Colorado State, and South Dakota, and the Gophers are showing interest, according to social media sources. “I’d like to play in the Big Ten,” he said. In three seasons with Mahtomedi, Hadley scored 1,303 points, including a 52-point burst against Hill-Murray on Feb. 8, breaking the school record of 50 that stood since 1961 (by Mike Patterson). His 28.5 ppg was a school record. He was poised to shatter the career points record of 1,383 (held by Zach Lindquist, 2013). Playing for Cretin-Derham Hall should raise his profile. The Raiders have a long tradition of athletic excellence, turning out such luminaries as Daniel Oturu, a current Gopher with NBA potential; former major league stars Joe Mauer and Paul Molitor; and former NFL quarterbacks Chris Weinke (a Heisman trophy winner) and Steve Walsh.

College tennis veterans duel in annual hospital fundraiser BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The 34th annual Pine Tree Apple Tennis Championships were held last weekend, featuring the usual strong field of mixed doubles teams, at Lifetime Fitness in White Bear Lake. This four-day event with Open, Masters and Grand Masters divisions raises money for Children’s Minnesota. More than $5.5 million has been generated so far toward cancer research and oncology programs. “As a former oncology nurse, I have seen what patients and their families endure,” said Kathy Bjornson, who won Grand Masters with Bob Marolt. “Pine Tree has contributed to some amazing research breakthroughs. Who wouldn't want to be part of that?” Many former Gopher players and other ex-college standouts play in the PTCAT. Emerging as champions among 32 teams in the Open competition were
former Gopher players Julien Dehn and Tooli Wilkins, who were runners-up last year. Dehn, a native of Germany, won over 100 matches for the “U” in 2008-12. “It is an inspiring event with great people and a fun atmosphere,” Dehn said, “and it's wonderful to be able to give back to the community through a sport I love.” The top-seeded team, they edged No. 2 seed Tobias Wernet and Imke Reimers in the finals. Each won four matches to reach the finals. Wernet and Reimers are natives of Germany who played for the Gophers and Nebraska, respectively. In the Masters division, Kevin Werwie and Meghan Kimber repeated as champions. Werwie, former Gopher No. 1, has seven Pine Tree titles in 26 years as an entrant. Kimber played for Duluth East and Gustavus Adolphus. Masters runners-up among 14 teams were Justin Siem (Stillwater, UM-Duluth) and Ali King (Wayzata, Penn

The White Bear Lake Tennis Day held July 27 at the Central Middle School courts attracted close to 100 people and included sponsor gift drawings and donations from the community. Alan Haskins ran the event, which gave all proceeds to White Bear Lake High School tennis. “Aside from it being an effort
to connect the community, it was also a fundraising effort,” he said. A “Donate and Take” table was set up with used tennis items donated by community members that all participants could take from. Tennis Day was originally scheduled for July 20 but was postponed a week due to rain. Haskins said the turnout was still strong despite the new date.

A good drive starts with a good setup
W
hen I’m on the teaching tee, I’ve noticed that most players spend quite a bit of time hitting their driver. In an 18 hole round of golf, you will use your driver a maximum of 14 times. You will probably use your short irons twice as often. So why are we obsessed with the driver? Because if you hit it in the sweet spot, it goes a long way. This puts you in a better position to come away with a good score on a long par 4 or 5. A reliable driving game is a common denominator of all good golfers. Regardless of your abilities, a successful drive off the first tee sets a positive tone for the entire round. Most drives are missed before the ball has even been struck – in the set-up. The set up alignments for the driver are different than any other club. The tee shot on every hole is only shot in golf where you have the opportunity to place the ball on a perfect lie every time. Therefore, you really should spend time and perfect your set up so you are consistent every single time. First, make sure you tee the ball up high. The driver is the only golf swing you hit on the upswing, so make sure you use a longer tee. To start the set up, place your feet together with the ball in the middle of your stance. Keeping your left heel on the ground, flare your left toe out slightly towards the target. From there, take a step to the side with your right foot (for right handed golfers) that is the width of your shoulders. Your right foot should be pointing ahead of you, not flared. The ball position should be off your left instep, with your hands even or slightly behind the ball. Make sure that your feet and shoulders are parallel to each other and the target line. A lot of golfers think they should close their stance slightly, like the pros. I disagree unless
you are a perfect driver of the ball. Remember, if you can’t see your left shoulder with your left eye your shoulders are open. Grip pressure should be 3 to 4 on a scale of 1 is light and 10 is tight. Once you have your stance set, extend your arms in front of you, and hinge your wrists so the club Tee is pointing up to the sky. Tilt your upper torso (from your hips) slightly Time to the right. Your left shoulder will be higher than your right and your Betsy Larey head will be behind the ball. This is a critical step, and one a lot of people don’t do correctly. Also, this will help you set up with your weight 60% on your right side. From there, let the club drop so it sets flat on the ground. Since the driver is the longest club in your bag, you should feel like you’re reaching out a bit more with your hands. (Your arms and hands should still be relaxed with a light grip pressure) I feel the need to say this again; most players have their shoulders open at address. Make sure your left shoulder is higher than your right, and you can see your left shoulder with your left eye at address. This correct set up means you will be hitting the ball on an ascending blow, not a descending blow as you would with your irons. If I had to pick the two mistakes I see most often with drivers, it’s setting up directly over the ball vs. behind (spine, head, hands and weight) and hitting down on the ball instead of up. If your set up is correct, both of these errors are eliminated.
There’s a great practice drill that will help you “feel” what the swing plane should be. Tee the ball up as high as you can. Take your normal set up and then lift the club a foot off of the ground (this is done by hinging your wrists, not standing up). Then take a normal swing, going over the tee. Starting with the club off the ground promotes a flatter takeaway and a more rounded feeling at the top. This should feel more like a baseball swing instead of a golf swing. It will also help you understand that the driver has a flatter, more rounded swing than any other club in your bag. A good tempo is critical when you hit your driver. Don’t be tempted to swing too fast. I’d rather be down the middle of the fairway and 20 yards shorter than the next fairway over. The biggest mistake made with the driver is blocking to the right. It’s easy to do because of the length of the club. If this happens to you, try this drill on the practice range. Split your hands on the grip about an inch apart. When you swing, make sure your right hand drives the club head down the target line. That should help you deliver the club face square to the target line.

Ski Otters holding adaptive clinic
The Midwest Ski Otters are holding an adaptive water ski clinic again this year. Last year's event was such a success, the group decided to do it again, noted member Caroline Grubs. The clinic is scheduled 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24. Grubs said the team is partnering with the Kenny Courage Rehabilitation Center, which helped last year with extra volunteers, equipment and most importantly, the adaptive athletes who signed up. Thirteen skiers participated last year; all but one had never skied before. Enough money was raised for the Ski Otters to purchase adaptive skis for future events. Submitted

I can tell you that they are a blast.” Players now have the option of a peppy, single-rider, two-wheel, electric-powered, mini-motorcycle, with a rack for their golf bag, or, of course, the traditional four-wheel, two-seater golf cart. Manufactured by Finn Cycle, the alternative to carts are marketed as a way to speed up your round of golf, to an average of 7 1/2 minutes per hole. Cost is $26 for 18 holes, or $18 for nine holes.

RESPECT THE LAKE A new non profit organization named ‘RESPECT THE LAKE’ has been formed to stop abusers of White Bear Lake who disregard the lake ordinances and otherwise show disrespect and lack of civility for the Lake and other Lake users. The initial Board of Directors of RESPECT THE LAKE include Sue Ahlcrona and Shannon Foster. This disrespect has been going on for more than three years. Here are two photos, of many that we have taken, showing the attack on June 26, 2019 which show a jet skier losing control of the jet ski after going over an illegal wake, and where boats, jet skis, and others are not observing the laws and necessary distances between each other.
Ordinances that apply to activities to be watched and reported to 911 include: noise (yes the Government has a noise ordinance on the Lake); extraordinary wakes, distance between boats that are underway (usually 100-150’), distance from shore, distances from swimming areas, obstruction of navigation, littering, polluting (e.g. beer cans and feces). If you are concerned about an ordinance violation or impending violation, the Ramsey County Water Patrol says: “Dial 911”. They want a record of complaints. All persons are invited to join this cause. That includes lakeshore owners, non lakeshore owners, boaters, sailors, fishermen, swimmers, and anyone else that RESPECTS our community gem known as White Bear Lake. Our current financial goal is to raise substantial funds towards increased enforcement, tougher ordinances, and educational materials. (This ad paid from a private donation and not from the assets of RESPECT THE LAKE).
Our website is: www.respectthelake.org Our ultimate goal is to go out of business, meaning RESPECT will be a foregone conclusion and our nonprofit will no longer be necessary. But we need your help in the meantime.

West Nile impacting loon population
THE LOONS CONTINUE TO GATHER IN POP UP PARTIES ALL AROUND THE LAKE. THIS WEEK, THE PENGUIN DANCE WAS REPLACED WITH THE DOSEY DOE. THE WATER LILIES ARE JUST STARTING TO APPEAR IN THE LIFELESS WAR ZONE.
An uptick in reports of dead loons and test results indicate an impact from West Nile virus (WNV), according to nongame wildlife staff at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at the University of Minnesota confirmed WNV as the cause of death in two of three dead loons from northeastern Minnesota earlier this month. Wildlife staff are receiving a small but noticeable increase in calls from people finding dead loons in northeastern Minnesota. WNV was first confirmed in Minnesota in 2002 and was documented as a cause of loon mortality as early as 2005. It is not uncommon for people, animals and birds to be exposed to WNV through mosquito bites. Most people and animals successfully fight off the virus and develop antibodies against future infection. Some birds, like loons, crows and other corvids, are especially susceptible to the infection. Researchers are attempting to discover the rates of infection among ruffed grouse. Loons can die from a variety of illnesses and injuries and individual bird deaths are a normal occurrence and not cause for alarm. “Minnesotans love our loons and it’s concerning for people to find them dead. When we start seeing multiple birds dying on a single lake, we want to know about it so we can start tracking the information and determine when further testing is warranted,” said nongame wildlife specialist Gaea Crozier. “While there isn’t a way to treat the West Nile virus infection, knowing the cause can help us rule out other, preventable, causes of mortality.” Lake homeowners and other lake users who observe two or more dead loons on a single lake with no obvious injury or cause of death are asked to email the nearest DNR nongame wildlife staff for tracking. In the metro area, that person is Lori Naumann, lori.naumann@state.mn.us.

Loon Chronicles IV: Life is good This was a spectacular week for watching the Loons. They were everywhere! This morning, there were three separate Loon parties going on at the same time all around the lake. We counted a total of 13 Loons. Early morning continues to be the best time to watch the Loons. The boat traffic is simply too much by mid day. We did not spot any penguin dances this week. The mood was less frantic and more playful. The Loons just love to circle each other and stare each other down as they move on to their next dance partner; not unlike the square dance. We keep hoping to find life in the War Zone. Except for an occasional Mallard family making their way into the bulrushes, the War Zone is lifeless. We miss the turtles, herons, egrets, and muskrats. The water lilies are starting to emerge, about two weeks behind last summer. Maybe, they will breathe some new life into this part of the lake. The Eagles and Osprey have been busy fishing and keeping a low profile, which is a good thing because the juvenile Loons from other lakes should start to arrive during the next few weeks.

Peace Corps volunteer helps harvest rainwater in Nepal White Bear Lake resident Olivia Richter departed in April 2018 to serve as a volunteer in the Peace Corps Nepal Food Security Project. She is working with farmers, women and children to improve the livelihood and nutrition of a water-scarce rural community. Having spent a year getting to know the language, culture, her residence village and its people, Richter is spending her second year of service attempting to alleviate the effects of a devastating dry season lasting from September to June each year. During the dry season, fields run barren, the village composed primarily of farmers has little to no income, and a disproportionate number of women and girls spend hundreds of hours lugging jugs from the community water tap that runs drier as the season progresses. Women and girls' equality, economic income and nutrition all suffer as a result. Along with community leader Bandana Sijapati, Richter has initiated a Peace Corps Partnership Project to implement rainwater harvest systems on the homesteads of the village Farmer's Group. In just three months of monsoon season, the torrential rains can provide enough potable water for a household of five to last the whole year. Successful implementation of the rainwater harvest project aims to create leadership opportunities for these village women, a more diverse and abundant crop for the farmers and contribute positively in the life paths of village children. To read more about the project, contribute to and/or spread the word in support of this pursuit, visit www. peacecorps.gov/donate/projects/rainwater-harvest-lgl-19-367-005/. The daughter of Ty and Heidi Richter, Olivia joined the Peace Corps after graduating in 2017 from Miami University of Ohio with a degree in biology and environmental science. Between graduation and her Peace Corps departure, she worked at the downtown Caribou Coffee. “This was where I got to know more White Bear folks, memorize their regular orders and connect with people that make our town so welcoming,� she said. The Richters moved to White Bear Lake six years ago. She is close to her fundraising goal and hopes exposure in the Press will be enough to put it over the top.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Funeral home can wait: Contest shows commitment to hands-free driving Mueller Memorial and Cremation Service in White Bear Lake held a contest to promote Minnesota's new hands-free driving law, which went into effect Aug 1. They gave away 20 magnetic phone mounts as prizes. Participants went to MuellerMemorial.com/handsfree and finished this sentence: “I won't drive distracted because I want to ...”. Entrants then explained what they wanted to do in their life, such as a bucket list item. The 20 best responses were awarded a hands-free phone mount. Nine people are killed every day in the United States as a result of crashes involving a distracted driver, according to the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention. Under the new law, drivers can only interact with their phones while driving by voice command or one-touch activation without holding the phone. It is illegal for a driver to hold a phone in their hand.

for an approximate timeline on a start date, Artig-Swomley said the company's reply was they had no specific start date but were “100% committed to the project.” “No amount of pressing could get them to say more,” she added, “but they were very polite and patient. I think this is a company that thinks everything out and does a lot of planning. I sense they are careful in their decision-making, and very quiet. If I had to guess, the delay in starting is due to the size and scope of the huge store they are putting in in the West St. Paul area.” The Gem Lake council approved the Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh, a 10,000-squarefoot convenience store that includes gas pumps, a drive-thru Starbucks and a liquor store, last September.

Lake Links meeting focuses on safety, state law Bicycle and pedestrian law is on the Lake Links Association agenda this month. The trail advocacy group has invited several experts to its monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 12, to speak on current state laws, how to legally and safely use the transportation system, and law enforcement's role.
The meeting will feature Sgt. Jason Bain, a member of the St. Paul Police Department and a graduate of the International Police Mountain Bike Association training for law enforcement, and Dorian Grilley, executive director of BikeMN. Grilley will provide an overview of a primary state statute, 169.222, which identifies rights and responsibilities
of bicyclists. In addition, Mike Brooks, co-chair of Lake Links, will focus on safe and legal movement strategies for bicyclists and pedestrians within the transportation system, as well as on side trails. Meetings are held at the Mahtomedi District Education Center, 1520 Mahtomedi Ave. The public is invited.
WASHINGTON COUNTY BRIEF
COMMUNITY BRIEF
County will work with shelter to help homeless families
Youth rehearsing next performance
Washington County will work with Solid Ground in White Bear Lake to serve 28 families experiencing homelessness, after the county board approved an agreement with the agency July 23. The county will provide $141,400 in Family Homelessness Prevention and Assistance program funds to the agency for the service. The program was established by the Legislature in 1993 to assist families with children, youth/unaccompanied youth and single adults who are experiencing barriers to housing. Funds are awarded on a biennial basis. The program is conducted through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The money will be used for support services and rent payment assistance through the Home Again program. The outcomes of the program are to ensure households will be permanently housed and not re-enter shelter or become homeless within six months of program exit.
Children's Performing Arts is scheduled to stage “Little Shop of Horrors” Aug. 10-18 at the Hanifl Performing Arts Center in White Bear Lake. The group performed “Music Man Jr.” in June and is rehearsing for the August shows. “Little Shop of Horrors” tells a tale of a flower shop employee who finds an unusual plant that begins to attract business to the shop but could cause problems in the future. The music was composed by Alan Menken, who is famous for “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin”. Director Jake Stendahl said the show has been altered and adapted to account for young audiences and the harsh language has been omitted, making it a more fun and lighthearted version of the performance. Children's Performing Arts is offering a sensory-friendly/pay what you can preview show at 7 p.m. Aug. 9. Audience members are encouraged to bring comfort and support items as needed. Ticket prices are $20 for adults and $10 for seniors and students; they can be found at childrensperformingartsmn.org. Show dates and times are at 2 p.m. Aug. 10 and 11; 7 p.m. Aug. 12-14 and 16; and at 2 p.m. Aug. 17 and 18.
