Local police sergeant has a heart for children, community BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Driving downtown on a rainy Wednesday afternoon, White Bear Lake Police Department Sgt. John Vette reminisced about decades of Marketfest—the weekly summer festival began when he was in seventh grade and he now enjoys making sure people are safe while they peruse the wares.
Concert goes above, beyond average church bake sale WHITE BEAR LAKE — Once again, St. Mary of the Lake is holding its annual SummerFest under the bigtop. The super-sized tent is a precautionary addition in case of rain, but you can be sure event organizers are praying for perfect weather on Aug. 19. Church pastor, Fr. Ralph Talbot, said the concert serves as an outreach to the community; “to invite folks to have some good food, listen to good music and raise a few bucks.” SummerFest is not a
major fundraiser for the 135-year-old parish, but proceeds do help finance smaller capital repair items. “It’s a good cause,” Talbot added. Last year’s August concert made a bigger splash since the church was celebrating its 135th year as a parish. There was an open house and the archbishop came out. Like the year before, it rained, so the tent was a blessing for the estimated 800 people attending SUBMITTED

Dramatic construction progress
“You are not just an enforcer of law. … You are a leader, mentor and listener to those in need.” John Vette Sergeant, White Bear Lake Police Department On that rainy afternoon Aug. 9, officers on duty were investigating a theft and a harassment complaint while Vette patrolled the town. “I grew up here,” he said, indicating a rambler on Wood Avenue. His journey to police sergeant began back in those days when he talked to officers at school dances at White Bear Lake Area High School. “I got interested in high school when we were taking those job personality tests,” Vette said. “I always liked the idea of being able to provide a leadership role while also being able to help.” Vette joined a Police Explorers program through the Boy Scouts and became a police reserve officer at 18. Vette has been an officer for 17 years; he started with the St. Cloud Police Department after graduating from St. Cloud State University with a criminal justice degree. Nine years ago, he came back home. In 2011, he was promoted from patrol officer to sergeant. The department has four sergeants who oversee four teams of four patrol officers, he noted.

McKnight’s Dellwood mansion faces wrecking ball BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
An empty nester, Barb Erickson finally had to make the tough decision to downsize. Only she’s not moving. Instead Erickson is razing her 17,000-square-foot Dellwood mansion once owned by William McKnight. She didn’t want to do it. “The reality is these homes are old, too big and expensive to maintain,” said Erickson, who raised five children in the 1889 mansion on White Bear Lake. She lived there for 32 years. The decision was not made lightly. “I’ve been crying about it for almost two years,” she admitted, “but I’m at the point where I need to simplify my life.” Erickson tried to sell the 3-acre estate, listing it first for $3.5 million and later $3 million. Anyone who expressed interest planned to tear it down, she said. She also offered it to 3M; but the company wasn’t interested. The six-bedroom, seven-bath home at 34 Dellwood Ave. is known as the McKnight mansion after its most famous owner, the late 3M CEO William McKnight and his wife Maude. An article in the January 1983 Twin Cities magazine reveals that McKnight was one of three parties interested in the estate in the early ‘40s. It quotes Louise Bremer Benz, who spent summers in the home as a child with her parents. Her father was banker Adolf Bremer who sold the home to McKnight not long after the family delayed their return to St. Paul in the fall of 1940 and almost froze when the Armistice Day blizzard struck. As the new owner, McKnight did extensive remodeling, including a heating plant, although they used the mansion more for a summer home. The 3M executive also built the carriage house, a fourstall garage with living quarters above and attached greenhouse. Erickson is living in the apartment while the mansion is dismantled. After McKnight moved out, the house sat vacant for about seven years until Al and Connie Mueller, founders of Mueller Mortuary, bought it in 1976 to house their family of nine children. It was son Keith Mueller who shared the magazine article on the mansion that featured his parent’s tastes in interior decorating during their decade-long guardianship. He remembers they paid $160,000 for the property. Mueller has many fond memories of growing up in the mansion, exploring its many nooks and crannies. The

elevator McKnight installed was the ultimate spot for hide and seek, he said, and the attic offered a spectacular view of the Minneapolis skyline on a clear day. There were also treasures left behind that the family discovered. A large wood box next to one of the fireplaces had a false bottom. “When we pulled it out we found McKnight’s personal shotguns,” Keith recalled. “One was a Winchester Model 21 worth about $20,000. It was of such high value that my dad contacted Ernie Nestle, the caretaker McKnight had retained to maintain the property. Ernie knew about the guns but didn’t know they were still there. Mr. McKnight was grateful they were returned. He sent a thank you note.” Mueller said he doesn’t typically like seeing old homes torn down and rebuilt with houses that don’t belong on the footprint. But he knows how much it costs to maintain the house and understands why Erickson had to make the decision. “Houses to the north of it were ripped down too. These old homes aren’t standing the
test of time,” he said. Erickson is salvaging what she can of the stained glass windows, metal kitchen cupboards and brass doorknobs. She’s taking antique pedestal sinks and several toilets - one is stamped Ordway. (3M co-founder Lucius Ordway started out in the bathroom fixtures business). Some of the mansion’s architectural gems were sold during an estate sale last month but no one was interested in the marble fireplaces or built-in wooden bookcases. A 4,000-square-foot house will replace the mansion. Erickson divided the property, selling half to a builder and keeping half for her new home. There is 317 feet of lakeshore. She’s not sure she can watch the house go down. “I do feel like I owe it to the house to be there,” Erickson said. “It’s like an old friend. I feel really bad about leaving it. No one could ever build a house like this again.”

The business of news
hen Press Publications agreed to participate in the Minnesota Newspaper Association’s rollout of a “blank” front page, our team brainstormed ideas we thought would make an impact. “It’s important we communicate our role as a credible source of community news,” someone said, “and reinforce the sentiment that newspapers are not dying.” Hence, the R.I.P. was hatched to grab readers’ attention. We’re betting it worked. This isn’t the first time our front pages have been blank. The Press set a precedent in 2014 when we had the audacity to publish a front page that simply read: No News . . . It helped make the point then and it helps make the point now that newspapers are the lifeblood of a community. Feeling We may no longer report society “news” like who attended Sunday inspired dinner at Aunt Mabel’s house and the Debra Neutkens tenderness of the roast beef, but we do report on oh so many things. Did you learn about property taxes, economic development and school news by reading our city council and school board reports? Did you learn about a drug bust, a bank robbery or vandalism by reading our cops and courts? Did you learn about a candidate running for office by reading our voter’s guide? Did you learn about a friend’s death by reading the obituaries? Did you learn about a benefit for a neighbor battling cancer by reading our community briefs? Community newspapers provide that information and so much more about the happenings in our neighborhoods. And they have been the primary way communities receive trusted information since the founding of our country. In his proclamation declaring the week of Aug. 13 to 19 as Minnesota Newspaper Week, Gov. Mark Dayton noted that the founders of this country understood that an informed constituency is an essential part of our democracy. “Minnesota Newspaper Week is a statewide initiative that reminds individuals of the importance of a free press. Freedom of the press promotes a well informed constituency, improves public policy, increases responsiveness and accountability and enhances public confidence in governmental institutions.” Without journalists, there is no news. News doesn’t appear magically online, dear readers. The vast majority of news stories are created by journalists and more specifically, by newspaper journalists. The Internet has impacted the news media and caused unforeseen challenges, but as a wise former editor stated: remember that Facebook and other sites don’t keep you updated on whether a Level III sex offender has moved to your street nor how your school district is proposing to adjust to the failure of its levy referendum. When Warren Buffett bought 28 newspapers in 2012, The Washington Post questioned his sanity, to put it bluntly. One of the world’s richest men offset the criticism in his letter to stockholders by writing he thought newspapers would survive and possibly thrive: “Newspapers continue to reign supreme in the delivery of local news,” Buffett wrote. “Without journalists, your front page would be blank. We are here to tell your stories and report your news. By sharing these stories, we deepen our understanding of one another and become more united.” More than 200 newspapers are participating in this “no news” campaign during Minnesota Newspaper Week. The “whiteout” is part of the newspaper association’s yearlong celebration of its 150th anniversary. It reminds Minnesotans of the important role newspapers play in writing the first draft of history and telling the stories of our communities. To celebrate, we want readers to know we are proud of our accomplishments and strive each issue to educate and inform. But it isn’t just about us. We need the support of our advertisers and our readers. Without you, there is no newspaper. And just to be clear: Your trusted source of community news is alive and well.

Supporting a free press
In Minnesota, we understand the importance of a free press. It’s hard to forget in our state — Minnesotans are among the most engaged citizens in the country. Last year we again ranked fi rst in the nation in voter turnout. Minnesotans volunteer at the second highest rate in the country. And we usually look to our local newspapers as the fi rst stop for the information we need. In my house Legislator growing up, it Lingo was impossible to forget the imporAmy tance of a free press. My dad Klobuchar was a journalist. As a reporter and a columnist, my dad, Jim Klobuchar, covered it all. On the night of the presidential election in 1960, as a young stringer for the Associated Press, he was among the fi rst in the country — if not the fi rst — to call the race for President John F. Kennedy. He was fearless, whether it was reporting from Moscow with a Soviet Intourist guide assigned to him at all times or taking tear gas covering protests outside of a political convention. Digging for the truth was his job. Finding the truth made it all worth it.
Thomas Jefferson said that our first objective as a nation should be to leave open “all avenues to truth,” and that the most effective way of doing that is through “the freedom of the press.” From children with cancer to Minnesota veterans, he covered the stories of every day heroes, too. He believed that all stories needed to be told, and that by sharing these stories, we deepen our understanding of one another and become more united as a country. So, from a very young age, I understood the important role the press has played in our democracy. And today, I understand a free press is as important as ever. Minnesota reporters have been on the frontlines of major stories since the founding of our first newspaper in 1849. They’ve covered good times and bad. From enlisting with the Union in the Civil War, as Hastings Democrat publisher Charles P. Adams did in 1861, to tireless investigating and reporting on the abduction of Jacob Wetterling, Minnesota journalists have always been committed to telling our stories. Over the past few months, we
have heard about “alternative facts.” We have heard an Administration official suggest that the press should “keep its mouth shut.” And we have even seen efforts to limit journalists’ access to elected officials. None of this is acceptable. Our founders enshrined freedom of the press in our Constitution for a reason. Thomas Jefferson said that our first objective as a nation should be to leave open “all avenues to truth,” and that the most effective way of doing that is through “the freedom of the press.” Today, Minnesota reporters continue their dogged pursuit of the truth day after day, story after story. That reporting is on display all across Minnesota, and the Minnesota Newspaper Association has played a big part in supporting Minnesota reporters for 150 years now. From Deborah Howell, who oversaw the Pioneer Press’s first Pulitzer Prize, to Mark Kellogg, the first Associated Press reporter to die in the line of duty, reporters all across our state are carrying forward a remarkable legacy. I’m determined to protect journalists and defend freedom of the press. My dad expects me to. The oath I took to “support and defend the Constitution” demands that I do. Amy Klobuchar is a United States Senator from Minnesota.

Fall is the time to fertilize your lawn
all is the time for almost everything for your lawn – fertilizing, broadleaf weed control, aerating, dethatching. Fertilizer calculations take the spotlight today. As soil cools to 50-65 degrees, grass roots grow best. Nitrogen improves shoot growth and food production. Potassium and phosphorus promote root growth and overall health to store food over the winter. Don’t use weed and feed. Fertilize as early as the middle of August, with Labor Day being ideal. Water in the fertilizer if it doesn’t rain soon after you apply it. Treat broadleaf weeds with a spray directly on the plant between the beginning of September and middle of October. The spray must be left on the plant – no watering. Always read and follow directions on the label. For many people, 3 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet per year is acceptable. Typically, you’ll put down 2/3 of your annual nitrogen application in the fall — so 2 pounds of
nitrogen now. Fertilizers have ratios and grades. You’ll recognize “24-0-12”, that’s a grade. The numbers indicate that your bag has 24 percent by weight of nitrogen, 0 percent by weight of phosphorus, and 12 percent by weight of potassium. 4-0-3 is the ratio of that grade. Here’s the math to figure out how much fertilizer you need to put down on a 1,000 square foot lawn if you have a 24-0-12 Gardener’s grade fertilizer: Take weight of the Grapevine the bag, e.g. 20 pounds. Multiply 20 pounds Kim Sullivan by the percentage of nitrogen in the bag of fertilizer – 24 percent. That’s 4.8 pounds of nitrogen in the bag. Divide the weight of the bag (20 lbs) by the percentage of fertilizer (4.8 lbs). In this case, you’ll need to apply 4 pounds of fertilizer to get 1 pound of nitrogen
Fertilizing now will color and thicken grass into the early spring, shading out spring weeds. Ready, set, go fertilize! per 1,000 square feet. If your lawn is 3,000 square feet, you’ll need 3 pounds of nitrogen, which means you’ll use 12 pounds of fertilizer. Use a fertilizer with close to a 4-0-2 ratio or a winterizer with a 5-0-7 ratio. Independent hardware stores, garden centers and feed mills are places you may fi nd fertilizer with appropriate ratios. Many products miss the mark on ratios needed here in Minnesota. Last, nitrogen that’s quick release can cause serious burn injury on the lawn. Look for a fertilizer that has up to 50 percent slow release nitrogen. The names of slow release nitrogen are Methylene Urea, Sulfur, polymer-
coated, “insoluble” and Corn Gluten Meal. Quick release nitrogens are Urea and Ammonical Nitrogen. To calculate the percentage of slow release nitrogen, take the total nitrogen percentage (24 percent if you have 24-0-12). If the label tells you that 11 percent of the total nitrogen is “insoluble”, divide 11 by 24 and that will tell you that your product is 46 percent slow release. Slow release will feed continuously into the fall, encouraging a healthy lawn. Fertilizing now will color and thicken grass into the early spring, shading out spring weeds. Ready, set, go fertilize!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Helped a neighbor in need
About 15 or more members from the White Bear Community of Grace church came to the home of a member who is terminally ill and went to work and cleaned a rather large garden that had been neglected. The thanks to the workers are their devotion to mankind, their deep, gracious commitment to help a neighbor in need is a reminder that God has bestowed us with his love. We thank them for their graciousness and goodness.
that with the increased vegetation a small herd of deer has moved in south of the island. I have also read that fluctuating lake levels are actually good for the lake. I know that there are a few dozen people that live on the lake that the low levels affect more than the rest of us. I think that if the day comes when I can’t water my lawn, wash my car, or have to drink Mississippi River water so a few can retain their property values, I will consider moving somewhere else where hopefully decisions are made for the good of the majority.

Owe mother an apology
I was walking my two small dogs on the path along Lake Avenue. They are under voice control, and were not leashed. We often say hello to others, with and without dogs, and haven’t had any issues. I had an unpleasant interaction with a mother who was not happy that my dogs were unleashed. I felt they were well controlled, and didn’t respond well. She then told me her daughter is autistic, and afraid of dogs. I should have apologized immediately, but I didn’t. She was completely correct. I know that the city requires dogs to be leashed. No matter how well-behaved my dogs may be, I don’t have any special dispensation to ignore the law. The last thing I want to do is make a nice walk into a frightening situation for this mom and child. As I got into my car, I knew I should have reacted differently, but wasn’t able to fi nd them to apologize. So, I want to take this opportunity to apologize publicly. If our paths cross again, I will also do so personally. Mark Mammel Mahtomedi
Attached to city because of lake
My wife and I moved from Minneapolis to White Bear Lake in 1980. We raised four children here. Part of the reason for our attachment to this city is undoubtably the lake, which we have made good use of. I am an avid fisherman, both winter and summer. I also fi sh at times from shore with a pair of waders at Ramsey Beach. We have been avid users of Optimist beach both with our children and now our grandchildren. We have taken many strolls along Lake Avenue on summer and fall evenings. We have used the dog park. We have enjoyed eating at both Tally’s and C. J. Hooks and sitting next to the lake. We took the kids to the pier at Lions Park to fish off the dock. In those 36 years, the lake has had its ups and downs. I have to say that the level of the lake has never been an impairment to my enjoyment or use of the lake. I don’t think that I ever had trouble launching the boat either at Ramsey or Manitou Island. Optimist beach has been a good place to swim with a gradual decline to deeper water. I haven’t noticed that the lake has lost any of its beauty on our evening walks. I have noticed

City leaders listened
I’d like to say “thank you” to the City Council, the Environmental Commission and the City Planner, Erin Perdu, for allowing chicken-keeping to become a reality for Mahtomedi. Throughout this process, which started with a letter to the mayor in January, they kept an open mind, listened to presentations and research, discussed concerns and truly took the time to learn more about the matter at hand. I'm proud to live in a city that is open to the ideas of its residents, however unconventional they may be. Cara Benson Mahtomedi

Mr. Jersak is free to support any candidate for governor (Letter to the Editor, Aug. 9). But his assertion that Republican governors are taking other states around us in a downward direction by “defunding access to healthcare and education, busting public service unions, and deepening deficits through more proposed tax breaks for the wealthiest” is not true. There are 34 states with Republicans governors and they are prospering. For example, Wisconsin’s Scott Walker has lead the way cutting taxes for low to middle income households. The labor and entitlement reforms initiated by Gov. Walker saved Wisconsin taxpayers $5 billion. He championed the Right to Work reforms and is working to close the deal with Foxconn. Gov. Mark Dayton has accomplished very little in his seven years other than to parrot the programs of former President Barack Obama. He has been an embarrassment and a road block to progress by insisting it his way or no way. Matt Dean will be a governor for all of Minnesota. I join many others in supporting Matt’s bid to be our next governor. Scott Nintzel White Bear Township
Open government in Vadnais Heights
Open government is the foundation of good government. “Closed” meetings should never give elected officials the right to say untrue, unethical, slanderous or inappropriate things without any accountability. The public is best served when elected officials know that they can’t operate in secret. Former Council Member Joe Murphy’s desire to keep his comments hidden from the public is not surprising since the city of Vadnais Heights lost $6 million on the sports center and agreed to a $255,000 settlement in part because of Mr. Murphy’s decisions and actions. Very few people know what actually is on the 22 tapes of the closed meetings. After objecting to the city attorney’s opinion that current council members had the right to listen to the tapes because “it’s gonna get out,” former Council Member Gerry Auge was asked “What would you be worried about that they would be talking about?” To our amazement he stated, “A lot.” Legal counsels have an obligation to represent their clients no matter how egregious their behavior is. But the public has the right to expect professional behavior in both open and closed meetings. Mayor Bob Fletcher Council Member Greg Urban
Police right to ticket crosswalk violators
I read with frustration Ms. Witwicke’s letter published on Aug. 9 regarding her being ticketed by the White Bear Lake Police Department for failure to stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk. In her letter, Ms. Witwicke made several excuses regarding her driving behavior while criticizing and demeaning the police department who were performing their assigned and expected duties. Ms. Witwicke believes that the Officer should of have taken into account that it was “hot and humid” that day, her age (92 years old), being on a fi xed income and her “good citizenship.” While I congratulate Ms. Witwicke on her 92 years of being a good citizen, traffic laws should apply to all drivers on the road. How old do you need to be to not be held accountable for your driving behavior and endangering other people? Ms. Witwicke states that the police department should not be “harassing the elderly on fi xed incomes” and instead “pursuing real criminals.” The most frequent complaint to police departments are traffic-related concerns including speeding, distracted driving and crosswalk violations. Ms. Witwicke believes that a warning would have been sufficient for her in this incident. I have to say that I disagree with that belief. She continues to underestimate the seriousness of the violation, has taken no responsibility for her actions, and instead chooses to criticize the White Bear Lake Police Department for doing their jobs professionally, while being responsive to their community.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:
Vadnais Heights • A pair of female shoplifters helped themselves to $528 worth of groceries, clothing, cosmetics and lots of body wash at WalMart the morning of Aug. 2, making it past all points of sale before they were collared. The 20-year-old Circle Pines suspect and the 21-year-old out of St. Paul were booked into the Ramsey County Jail on gross-misdemeanor theft charges. • An 85-year-old woman was found dead by her husband in the early morning hours of Aug. 3 at their home in the 200 block of Sunflower Court. The woman died of natural causes, according to the county medical examiner. • A tenant at an apartment building in the 1000 block of County Road D flagged down a passing squad the afternoon of Aug. 3 to report the theft of two tires and wheels off the left side of her mini-van in the parking lot. It may have been an interrupted theft with the suspect leaving a jack at the scene and who may have planned to get the remaining tires/wheels as well, a deputy told the victim. • A senior shoplifter with a list had her birdseed, bed sheets, a package of cinnamon sticks and a gate used to prevent grandchildren from falling down the stairs when she avoided the WalMart checkout lane the afternoon of Aug. 4, and made for the exit. The 70-year-old didn’t make it and was cited for the $181 theft. • Showing every sign of things not working out well for him, a White Bear Lake man fi rst tried
to use his driver’s license to open the door to the Holiday Inn Express on County Road E. When that didn’t work, he went next door to the Fairfield Inn to see if he’d have better luck. Failing to get into that building without a room key scanner the man tried prying and kicking the door, insuring that deputies would be called. The 28-year-old, who was found outside next to a tree, was booked into jail on charges of disorderly conduct, trespassing and criminal damage to property. • Mom should have said, “No, I’ll hold the stool and you climb up and change the lightbulb.” Eighty-one-year-old Mom survived that situation only to have coffee thrown on her and to be locked out of their house on Monn Street by her 61-year-old son. She managed a 911 call from a neighbor’s and sonny was soon on his way to jail on charges of domestic assault, fi fth-degree assault and disorderly conduct. • A couple, both 51, and out late Aug. 5 arrived home on Hemlock Lane in the midst of an argument. The husband punched the wife in the back and locked her out of the house. She called 911 and he went to jail on charges of domestic assault-causing fear, fi fth-degree assault and disorderly conduct. • Deputies ended the adventure of a 27-year-old Minneapolis woman pulled over in the wee hours of Aug. 7 for driving 76-mph in a 60-mph zone on I-694 at Edgerton Street and failure to maintain her lane. She was booked into jail on a third-degree DWI charge. • While the good guy was mowing the County Road E restaurant lawn the afternoon of Aug. 2, the bad guy was stealing the weedwacker and
leaf blower from the enclosed trailer left open. No other information was available. • Dad wanted meat, the kids wanted pancakes. After a scuffle between Mom and Dad developed Aug. 8 over what’s for dinner, Dad made for the door carrying his nearly-year-old infant and yelling for the rest of the kids to follow. Mom called 911 and Dad was booked into jail on charges of domestic assault, fi fth-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
White Bear Township • An oddly behaving man, painting his vehicle with a spraycan the morning of Aug. 5 at a gas station in the 5900 block of Hwy. 61, was arrested on a charge of driving with a restricted license. The 40-year-old Blaine man’s vehicle was impounded. • A vehicle ran off the road and almost into Bald Eagle Lake the evening of Aug. 6. The driver fled the scene but his location was pinpointed by numerous callers. The 39-year-old White Bear Lake man, with two previous convictions for DWI, was booked into jail on a second-degree DWI charge. His vehicle was impounded for forfeiture. • A driver dropped off his vehicle at a transmission repair shop in the 2500 block of County Road F the night of Aug. 6, leaving the key under the floor mat and a note concerning the repairs. He called a couple of days later to see how the repairs were coming, but the shop had no record of the vehicle. The vehicle was reovered the next day in Mahtomedi with no key and two fl at tires.

Shots heard by railroad tracks: White Bear Lake man arrested after fleeing police BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — A 19-year-old local man has been charged with a felony after gunshots were heard near Hoffman Road Aug. 10. Matthew Nicholas Heroff, 19, of White Bear Lake, was arrested after fleeing from White Bear Lake Police Department officers on foot, according to police documents. He was charged in Ramsey County District Court with felony-level reckless discharge of a firearm within a municipality, according to court documents. Police captured him after responding to a report of
several gunshots by the railroad tracks near the 3700 block of Hoffman Road about 3 p.m., according to police and court documents. The white male was found by law enforcement under a Highway 61 bridge and fled on foot as one officer approached him. The suspect was caught in the 3800 Heroff block of Scheuneman Road and a handgun was found near where he was arrested. The 9-mm handgun had been reported stolen from a Vadnais Heights owner Aug. 4. The handgun was likely stolen July 29 from a vehicle when it was parked in St. Paul.
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP NOTES WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The Town Board conducted the following business at its Aug. 7 meeting: • Approved a variance request, with changes, from Kristin Howard to reconstruct a garage at 5451 Williams Way. The homeowner had asked for a 7.3-foot and a 13-foot right-of-way setback variance for the garage. Contractor Brad Diller spoke on Howard’s behalf noting the existing garage is beyond repair and has foundation issues. A new structure is preferred to remodeling. Also, trees, playground equipment and other structures make it preferable to build on the same footprint. The Planning Commission recommended a 4-foot setback variance instead of 7.3 to better meet the township’s setback requirements. It was noted the lot is undersized and there are other substandard setbacks in the area, located east of Bald Eagle Lake. Neighbors spoke in favor of Howard’s request saying they were fine with the plan. One resident said one of three garages in the neighborhood don’t meet setback requirements and that “everyone has variances.” A homeowner at 5466 Bald Eagle Blvd. voiced objection via email to Planner Tom Riedesel stating the township denied an application for a similar variance at that property to replace a dilapidated garage. The board compromised and approved a side setback of 5.9 feet instead of 4 feet as recommended by the Planning Commission. They allowed the 13-foot request. Supervisor Ed Prudhon said he hoped Howard
could live with that. • Approved rezoning, vacation of easements and minor subdivision for Water Gremlin expansion at 4336 Otter Lake Road. The company plans to add 72,000 square feet of warehouse and manufacturing space to its existing south campus facility. This project includes the purchase and redevelopment of a single-family residence. The company’s total property area, including the new residential parcel, will be 21 acres. • Set a public hearing for Sept. 18 to consider establishment of an adult entertainment zone. The town attorney informed the board such a zone needs to be legally addressed. A site has been potentially identified at the old town hall property. • Rescheduled Sept. 4 meeting to Wednesday, Sept. 6 due to Labor Day. • Set a public hearing for 7:10 p.m. Oct. 2 for annual presentation of storm water pollution prevention program. • Approved bow hunting request by Joe Mailer and Harry Kavaloski on township property south of Benson Airport. • Approved archery deer hunting at Tamarack Nature Center and Poplar Lake. • Approved a new roof for Mead Park’s picnic shelter. The metal roof will cost $4,500. Most of the money, $3,000, has been designated already with the remaining $1,500 coming from capital improvement fund projects that came in under budget.
In an interview, Heroff eventually admitted he set up bottles near the train tracks and shot southbound at the bottles about 14 or 15 times. Heroff said he purchased the handgun from a person. He did not know the handgun was stolen, he said. Heroff's record is clean except for minor traffic violations. The maximum sentence for the dangerous weapons felony charge is two years in prison, a $5,000 fine or both.

Youth who broke Cup and Cone umbrella to reap consequences Cup and Cone posted a surveillance video on social media of several youth who broke a blue umbrella on its outdoor patio Sunday evening Aug. 6. The video requested anyone who knew who the youth were to contact the police department. The police did catch the youth, said Cup and Cone owner Rick Johnstone. The White Bear Lake Police Department received multiple phone calls from people who said they knew who the youth were, said Capt. Dale Hager. The youth were identified and they admitted to breaking the umbrella, he noted. The youth will be referred to the department’s diversion program for juveniles for criminal damage to property, Hager said. The umbrella was worth $285. Sara Marie Moore

the outdoor festival. And once again, Martin Zellar headlines. Concert Committee Chair Davin Brandt said the Minnesota musician has a good following in the area with an uptick in ticket sales every year they’ve booked him. Zellar was a frontman for the Gear Daddies in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. In addition to music, hamburgers, hot dogs and brats will be sold and the men’s softball team will be pouring beer and wine. Brandt said the committee is working hard to reach a larger audience this year. “The concert is not your usual church bake sale,” he said. “It has evolved. The parish really comes together to host this event for the whole community.” SummerFest started nine years ago when the maintenance committee made a list of needed repair items for the church, noted Brandt. When brainstorming ideas to raise funds to restore the iconic landmark, someone mentioned getting G. B. Leighton to perform and an annual concert was born. Crooner Gary LaRue and his Rat Pack will warm up the crowd from 5 p.m. when gates open to 7 p.m. Brandt is banking on LaRue resonating with the older crowd. Like Fr. Talbot, the active parish volunteer emphasizes that the outdoor concert is about community. “It's an opportunity for the church to provide outreach and fun, and gather people together for a great evening of music,” Brandt said. And one other thing: Don’t forget your lawn chair. Debra Neutkens

White Bear state testing profi ciency above average District scores drop, focus turns to teacher collaboration BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
White Bear Lake Area Schools students scored four to seven points above state averages in math, science and reading state standardized tests this spring. However, student scores dropped about two percentage points in science. Math and reading scores also dropped about one percentage point. Minnesota requires students to take the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) annually. Math tests are taken by third through eighth graders and by 11th graders. Reading tests are also taken by third through eighth graders and by 10th graders. Science tests are taken by fi fth and eighth graders and once in high school, typically by 10th graders. White Bear was about seven percentage points higher than the state average in math, four in reading and seven in science. Math test proficiency for all grades in White Bear Lake Area Schools dropped from 67 percent in 2016 to 66 percent in 2017. The state average proficiency in 2017 for math was 59 percent, a decrease from 60 percent in 2017. Reading proficiency scores for White Bear also dropped from 65 percent in 2016 to 64 percent in 2017. Statewide, reading proficiency stayed flat at 60 percent. Science test scores for White Bear dropped from 63 percent proficiency in 2016 to 61 percent in 2017. Statewide, science proficiency dropped from 55 percent to 54 percent from 2016 to 2017. In 2016, district math and science proficiency had jumped about two percentage points from 2015. District staff is not discouraged by this year’s drops. “These metrics—they are important, but they are part of the picture,” said Brian Morris, district assessment and student accountability coordinator. “We feel pretty good about what we offer as a comprehensive program pre-K through 12,” said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak, noting

programs such as the district’s new career pathways program. Last year the district also added literacy coaches and instructional technology coaches were added to elementary schools. Building staff leaders held a third annual data retreat this month to look at MCA scores and in-house assessments and data to determine how to address specific needs at grade levels. Staff will analyze not just proficiency, but growth, and will put together action plans to help students grow, Morris said. The district is also starting collaborative inquiry teams this year, Kazmierczak said. Teachers will come together in groups on designated days to analyze student progress. “These collaborative inquiry teams are more about using small assessments for day-to-day teacher work, which over a longer term, we should see the results of that work in these bigger summative assessments, in these big report card type assessments,” Morris explained.
But the district is focused on more than tests. “Assessments of student knowledge are important, and we want to continually improve, but we are focused on more than test scores alone,” Kazmierczak said. “We are proud to offer comprehensive educational opportunities for well-rounded students.” The district has a focus to prepare students for college and careers. Its new high school career pathways program will be in full swing this school year with four focuses: manufacturing, construction, IT and healthcare. Also, 80 percent of 2017 graduates had participated in a college-credit course before graduating. “Test scores are just one part of the picture to understand how students are doing in Minnesota,” said Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius. “It’s frustrating to see test scores slowly increasing over time, but there's more to providing a student with a well-rounded education than can be seen in
a test. I am proud of our students, and of the teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, support staff and many others working every day to help every student succeed.” Since 2013, when a new reading test was implemented, scores for all students are up two percentage points for all students in third through eighth grade and 10th grade. In math, scores for all students in third through eighth grade are also up two percentage points from 2011, when a new math test was implemented. Students in fi fth and eighth grade and high school that took the science exam have increased scores by four percentage points since 2012. “We need all children succeeding, which requires a real focus on providing an equitable education,” continued Cassellius. “That’s why we are proposing ambitious goals that address achievement gaps in our draft plan under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) that extend beyond just looking at the individual test scores we're looking at today.” Minnesota’s plan under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) will evaluate all Minnesota schools—not just schools receiving federal funding—in five areas: student achievement on tests, academic progress over time, graduation rates, progress toward English language proficiency and consistent attendance. As states transition to new accountability systems under ESSA, the department is no longer calculating the Multiple Measurements Ratings that were a part of the state's No Child Left Behind flexibility waiver. This year’s MCA results will be used along with next year’s when the department makes new school identifications for the 2018–19 school year. MCA results were released by the Minnesota Department of Education Aug. 7 and can be found on the Minnesota Report Card at http://rc.education.state.mn.us.

has a different shift, so there are about five police patrolling the city at any given time. The department also has three detectives, two school officers and one officer who specializes in violent crime enforcement. As a sergeant, Vette oversees several special projects. He oversees the department’s social media accounts, coordinates community events and the citizen police academy, and coordinates defense tactics training. Vette said one of his favorite parts of his job is community outreach at schools. “I love teaching kids,” he said. He also loves educating parents about how to keep their children safe. This fall, he will host another parent safety information night at White Bear Lake Area High School—South Campus. Vette is also a department representative to the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. He said the White Bear Lake Police Department seriously investigates local juvenile runaway cases be-
cause they know such youth are at risk of becoming victims of human trafficking. Being a police officer requires many roles, Vette said. “You are not just an enforcer of law,” he noted. Police officers also need to be counselors, mediators and be able to give medical assistance, he said. “You are a leader, mentor and listener to those in need,” he noted. “It can be a very challenging position but very rewarding at the same time,” Vette said. Some of the most memorable moments for Vette in his career are grabbing a suicidal person off the edge of a bridge in St. Cloud, helping catch a serial burglar in White Bear Lake and rescuing neglected or mistreated children in both cities. “Not much can be more important than that,” Vette said of bringing the children into safe environments. In White Bear Lake, officers don't receive many calls regarding violent crime; the biggest issues are property crimes. There is usually an uptick in the summer. One issue that has steadily increased over the last 10 years is

While these traps can capture an impressive number of beetles, the traps are attracting more beetles than they catch.

Vette said he hasn't had many “awkward” encounters with people he knows since coming back to patrol his hometown. At his recent 20-year reunion, one classmate brought up the time Vette gave him a seatbelt ticket — but the classmate wanted to thank him; “I deserved it,” the classmate said. Vette said the department has received a lot of support recently due to increased tensions regarding police and resident relationships across the country. Many community members have reached out to
thank them with cards, cookies and other gestures and when he is out and about, many people have expressed thanks. The department is currently testing body cameras and plans to implement them in 2018, he said. “I believe basically there is going to be two types of departments— those with body cameras and those who will be getting body cameras,” he remarked. Vette lives in Hugo with his wife Marisa and two children. Marisa is the director of communications and community relations for White Bear Lake Area Schools.

Mahtomedi state testing profi ciency 20-plus points above average District scores drop significantly in science BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
Mahtomedi Public Schools students scored 20 to 25 points above state averages in math, science and reading state standardized tests this spring. However, student scores dropped about three percentage points from 2016 district scores in science. Math scores dropped one percentage point and reading scores increased one percentage point. Minnesota requires students to take the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) annually. Math tests are taken by third through eighth graders and by 11th graders. Reading tests are also taken by third through eighth graders and by 10th graders. Science tests are taken by fifth and eighth graders and once in high school, typically by 10th graders. Mahtomedi was about 23 percentage points higher than the state average in math, 20 in reading and 25 in science. Math test proficiency for all grades in Mahtomedi dropped from 83 percent in 2016 to 82 percent in 2017. The state average proficiency in 2017 for math was 59 percent, a decrease from 60 percent in 2017. Reading proficiency scores for Mahtomedi increased from 79 percent in 2016 to 80 percent in 2017. Statewide, reading proficiency stayed flat at 60 percent. Science test scores for Mahtomedi dropped from 82 percent proficiency in 2016 to 79 percent in 2017. Statewide, science proficiency dropped from 55 percent to 54 percent from 2016 to 2017. From 2013 to 2015, Mahtomedi students scored 85 percent proficiency in science. In 2016, three percentage

Mahtomedi proficiency scores in science dropped about three percentage points from 2016 to 2017.
points were lost. This year, three more were lost. Superintendent Mark Larson said science scores could have dipped and reading scores increased simply due to the district's curriculum review schedule. The district reviews curriculum areas every five years to keep them aligned with standards, he explained. Science curriculum is set to begin the review in 2018; language arts and literacy just finished a two-year review process. Math, physical education and health, and social studies are currently under review. In meetings later this month, district staff will analyze MCA data to determine what schools and grades
need the most help in specific subject areas. As for the recent dip in science proficiency, staff will analyze “how, where and why” proficiency decreased. Still, Mahtomedi scored well above state averages. “I'm proud of how hard our students work and I am proud of how hard our teachers work to deliver curriculum,” Larson said. “This work the students have done demonstrates our teachers are doing a great job and the work the students have done indicates they are taking the test seriously and they are doing a great job.” In 2013, Mahtomedi had the highest math and science scores in the metro, and in 2014 and 2015 it had the highest scores in the metro in all three areas. In 2016, it had the highest score in science. Larson said he hasn’t had a chance to see if Mahtomedi received any top metro scores this year. “Test scores are just one part of the picture to understand how students are doing in Minnesota,” said Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius. “It’s frustrating to see test scores slowly increasing over time, but there’s more to providing a student with a well-rounded education than can be seen in a test. I am proud of our students, and of the teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, support staff and many others working every day to help every student succeed.” MCA results were released by the Minnesota Department of Education Aug. 7 and can be found on the Minnesota Report Card at http://rc.education.state.mn.us.

Family road trip fulfills grandpa’s wish to view eclipse BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
William Huck missed the total eclipse of the sun in 1955. The soon-to-become Birchwood resident had driven to Copper Harbor, Michigan, with five Milwaukee co-workers to view the rare event. When they arrived, they found about 100 other people had the same idea. All were situated at daybreak on a hill overlooking Lake Superior, William Huck ready with their cameras anticipating the eclipse. Then about three minutes prior, an offshore breeze picked up and moved the fog up the hill. They missed it. Huck’s grandson, Brian Humpal, shared that story a few days before departing on a road trip of his own to Memphis. He is joining family members in a mini reunion to view Aug. 21 what his grandfather had missed that day: an eclipse of the sun. “It was his dying wish,” said Humpal of his grandfather, who died last January. “He wanted us all to get together and go see the eclipse.” So Humpal, his wife Susannah, his two children, Vincent and Audrey, and his mom Sandi, are taking a road trip to his cousin’s house in Tennessee. At 93 percent, the city isn’t exactly in the path of the total eclipse, but it’s close. “I think we’ll all be happy with 93 percent,” noted the Dellwood resident. Admittedly, Humpal thought the idea was a little nerdy at fi rst. That was before he discovered that many people are traveling to the middle of the country to watch the moon cover the sun. He also suspects that’s why air fare jumped from about $200 for a roundtrip to Memphis to $600.

The total eclipse, where the moon completely covers the sun, will cross the country diagonally from Oregon to South Carolina in a 70-milewide swath. NASA lists times to the second for cities in the path of totality. For example, times for Nashville, Tenn.: Eclipse begins 11:58:31; totality begins 1:27:25; totality ends 1:29:23 and the eclipse ends at 2:54:02. NASA will live stream the event at www.nasa.gov/eclipselive For information on viewing safety, see eclipse2017.nasa.gov/safety.
William Huck was a 3M physicist who moved to Birchwood in 1957 with his wife Phyllis. He was 94 when he died. To Humpal, Huck was the father he never knew. “He taught me about astronomy, how to swim at Kay beach and how to sail. I helped him restore British sports cars. He had me changing spark plugs when I was 4 years old,” recalled Humpal, a ‘98 White Bear Lake grad. His grandfather had many interests, including photography, sailing on Lake Superior, and writing. His story about the 1955 eclipse is part of a book written in 2007 and pub-
lished in 2016 called “The White Papers of William Varney Huck.” Humpal shared the book, noting his intellectual and adventurous grandfather has delighted family members with the collection of his memoirs. In the book’s introduction, Huck wrote that the articles were directed at the younger members of his clan and “constitute a portion of my reflections upon past experience and current thinking.” He felt bad, Huck said, that he had not probed and recorded his parent’s thoughts and that was the main reason for the book. “I would rather that you never
have to feel guilty for not pumping me more,” Huck wrote. “And then there is this: Who is left that can properly direct your steps, but me.” For the record, Huck did see a total eclipse — in 1979 just north of Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was prepared with a bottle of champagne and arrived “well before the happenings,” according to the book. “It worked out just great. I took pictures. The wine fit in too,” he said. Huck also noted in the “white paper” that the next U.S. eclipse would occur in 2017 when he was 95. Huck didn’t make this one but he made sure members of his family would.

Issue of suicide hits close to home for country singer Country singer and White Bear Lake native Jake Nelson will perform at the 6th Annual Stomp Out Suicide 5K benefit Aug. 19 in Wyoming. Nelson will be singing songs from his latest record, including “You Are Not Alone,” which deals with suicide and may have saved a life. The tune was inspired by Nelson’s friend who was struggling with depression and later helped another buddy seek help during a low point in his life. A familiar face at Rudy’s Rooftop in White Bear, Nelson also worked at the restaurant five years. When he strums his guitar and croons these first lines, people usually stop talking and listen to the words: “He’s been fighting for his life Up against the demons he’s got living in his mind And I know it’s been a long dark road But you need to know you’re not alone” The best country songs are about storytelling, Nelson said, and he shares his stories at the microphone, even when they're about topics that are hard to talk about, such as suicide. Nelson describes a friend who was “emotionally wrecked” after two military tours of duty that served as the impetus behind his song. “He was hearing voices,” Nelson recalled, “and he jumped in front of a semi.” When another friend was sitting in a bar contemplating ending his life, he looked at his phone and saw a
voicemail from Nelson. It was a rough cell phone recording of the song. The friend played it about 20 times and went home. He later thanked Nelson for saving his life. Stomp Out Suicide was founded by Katie and Sean Haines of Wyoming, in memory of their daughter Alissa Marie Haines, who died by suicide on Dec. 29, 2011, at just 15 years old. With the support of their community, the Haines family took their Jake Nelson pain and turned it into fuel for helping others who struggle. Sean Haines will be the event’s keynote speaker. Proceeds from this year's event, held at Wyoming’s Goodview Park, will benefit the non-profit mental health agency Canvas Health. There will be silent auction items, sports mascots and an appearance by Miss Minnesota 2017 at the walk, run and fun event. Participants are encouraged to bring photos of loved ones for display in a remembrance area. Country radio personality Paul Thomas, “PT,” will emcee. His father died by suicide in 2013.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES The White Bear Lake City Council conducted the following business at its Aug. 8 meeting: • Recognized retiring City Attorney Roger Jensen. Mayor Jo Emerson called his last meeting “bittersweet” and complimented Jensen for doing a “marvelous job.” City Manager Ellen Richter thanked him for his professionalism and compassion and listed many of the “complicated issues navigated by Roger.” The mayor then presented the city's longtime counsel with a white bear statue as a parting gift. • Approved appointment of new City Attorney Andy Pratt for remainder of 2017. Pratt is an attorney with the Stillwater fi rm of Eckberg Lammers. He resides in St. Paul with his wife, Erin (maiden name Fresvik), a White Bear Lake High School grad, class of ‘93, and their two sons, 11 and 7. Originally from Northfield, Pratt attended the University of Denver for his undergraduate degree and received his law degree from the U of M. Pratt addressed the council, saying he was excited to represent the city and noted Jensen left “big shoes to fi ll.” • Accepted a check for $15,000 for the Clark Avenue Soldier’s Memorial Flag Pole restoration project. White Bear Lions Jim Francis and Lynn Farley presented the fi rst installment “to kick off the $65,000 project.” In 1939 when it was built, the flag pole monument cost $350. • Continued to Aug. 22, per request of the applicant, consideration of a Planning Commission recommendation for denial of a variance request
by Admiral D’s. (See separate story.) • Approved support of a VLAWMO grant application for a project to improve the water quality of Birch Lake. Grant money would be used to remove phosphorus through use of iron fi lings. • Approved a request by Joel Moline for three variances for property at 2521 Manitou Island. The property owner plans to construct a 1200-square-foot underground garage. • Approved resolution of support for Rice Creek Watershed District Master Water Stewards program. • Approved Ladies of the Lake open market event 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Sept. 23 at Railroad Park. Seven downtown merchants will participate. • Approved massage therapist license for Rachael Lynn Wright of DW Therapeutic Massage, 4066 White Bear Avenue, Suite 2. • Heard a fi nal report from Richter regarding the Met Council Water Efficiency grant. Estimated gallons of water saved per year totaled almost six million after the program ended. The city received $65,000 for the rebate program and used the money to replace 282 toilets, 120 washing machines and six irrigation controllers. City Attorney Mark Burch noted the city pumps about 3.5 million gallons of water a day so the savings amounts to roughly two days, depending on season. • Set budget work session for 5:30 p.m. Aug. 21.

Marina Triangle restaurant wants to expand BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The owner of Admiral D’s wants to turn a two-season business into four. If he gets his way, a proposed addition to the restaurant would basically have zero setback from the ordinary high-water mark in Commercial Bay. City Planner Anne Kane said the request is unprecedented. Owner Brian McGoldrick, who also manages the adjacent marina, wants to add a 1,000-square-foot building and rooftop seating to Admiral D’s, located at 4424 Lake Avenue S. The addition requires a 50-foot variance from the 50-foot setback from the ordinary high-water line (OHW), set at 924.89 feet. The amendment to his conditional use permit would put the edge of the roofline even with the shoreline. “As depicted, the proposed restaurant would go directly up to the OHW line,” Kane said. “It would encroach on the shoreline impact zone.” Code requires a 50-foot setback. Kane told the Planning Commission at its July 31 meeting that staff has met with McGoldrick and expressed reservation with the proximity of the proposed building addition. They also told him it was likely staff would not support his application. “To support a setback to 0 feet would be contrary to what staff has supported in the past,” Kane said. “A variance of this magnitude is unprecedented for a commercial building in the city and there has been little basis put forth by the applicant as to why the variance is necessary for reasonable use of this parcel. “If year-round operation is the goal, Admiral D’s should revise its expansion to stay out of the shore impact zone,” she pointed out. McGoldrick maintains that both the VFW, at 7.6 feet from the OHW line, and Tally’s, at 12.9 feet, encroach on the impact zone and provided commissioners aerial survey maps to illustrate. Commission Chairman Jim Berry said he appreciates what McGoldrick has done at the Marina Triangle but the setback was in place. “He knew what the restrictions were when he built,” Berry noted. “He knew it going in and now he’s asking to change it.” The small strip of land, zoned lake village mixed use like others in the Marina Triangle, is 14,900 square feet and located on riparian rights owned by the White Bear Shopping Center. McGoldrick leases the property from its owner Ron Trach, which includes access to shopping center parking. The current restaurant, built in 2008, is 920 square feet with seating for 67 inside and outside. It has a 32-foot setback. The new plan is to turn the existing restaurant into a kitchen, attach a dining room, erect a louvered roof structure over the current patio and add rooftop seating for 29. An elevator would be required for 30. Upfront with commissioners, McGoldrick stated that a 900-square-foot building isn’t working. “Unfortunately, in the triangle district, there are significant peaks and valleys,” he said, noting that Admiral D’s has more space tied up in handicapped restrooms than its kitchen. An enclosed dining room would allow him to do much more, McGoldrick added, noting his business is weather dependent. “Rain is not good for us. If it’s too hot, it’s not good for us. If it’s too windy it’s not good for us.” Member Ken Baltzer recalled that he was on the Planning Commission when the restaurant proposal originally came to the city. “The original plan was a

glass building,” he noted. “That was the way it was sold. Within a short amount of time when it went to the City Council, it became a brick building. It’s tough to see through bricks. If I had known that, I never would have voted for it in the fi rst round.” Baltzer said he has difficulty “believing that what is in the proposal is what we’re going to see. It hasn’t transpired that way before.” He challenged McGoldrick to prove him wrong. Vadnais Heights Mayor Bob Fletcher spoke in favor of the proposal during a public hearing. “Mostly retired,” Fletcher said he spends three to four days on the lake every week during the summer. “The lake is a regional resource second to none in this area. We eat at Admiral D’s, C.G. Hooks and the Meet Market. I don’t have a favorite, but I am here supporting Brian McGoldrick on this request because

unfortunately even though there’s a great asset, there is not enough infrastructure in terms of restaurants and places to sit and enjoy the lake. What he is proposing is needed.” Commissioner Mark Lynch recalled that the small parcel started as a marina, went to a shed, then to a shed with food; then to a small restaurant and now it's going to a bigger restaurant. “It seems to be creeping bigger and bigger every time,” he said. “I think there's a limit as to what can be done in that area. The VFW and Tally's just got lucky because they've been there so long.” There were other components of the plan, too, that staff didn't like. Retractable drop sheets to shade patrons from the sun would block the public’s view of the lake, Kane said. The Lake Avenue trail runs along the patio and curtains would block visual access. “Staff objects to any further reduction of this shared natural resource that is highly valued by the region,” she told commissioners. There is also a problem with an exterior staircase to access the rooftop. The stairs would be too close to the trail, too close to the property line, and on top of a sewer main. Staff does like the unique view the rooftop seating would provide. “A bird's eye view is something we had hoped to achieve at Boat Works Commons. That is not being realized so this would afford that opportunity,” the planner noted. The louvered roof would be acceptable if reconfigured to stay 25 feet back from the OHW level. “This is a complex zoning request,” Kane reminded commissioners. “Staff does not find the variances reasonable. The 50-foot setback has been in place since the mid ‘80s. Yes, some of the older businesses in the Marina Triangle District don’t meet the standard, but new buildings are expected to abide by the regulations.” The commission was unanimous in denying the application but most were not opposed to seeing a new proposal within setback requirements. Erich Reinhardt and Marvin Reed were absent. Consideration of the application was set for the Aug. 8 City Council meeting but the agenda item was pulled at McGoldrick’s request. The matter is tentatively set for the Aug. 22 meeting.

It’s time to ask for help when any of these symptoms arrive in our daily life to paralyze us and keep us from enjoyment and functioning in life, home, work, or friends and family.

We may or may not immediately connect the symptoms with a particular experience of trauma. At CenterLife Counseling it is not uncommon to have those who have suffered a trauma to only discover the connection of what they are feeling and doing to their own personal trauma after talking about their experience. Every person who experiences trauma has a different experience of it, and for every one of us, that experience of trauma is deeply our own. That is why it is also common for those we see at CenterLife to want to speak only to therapists who really understand, therapists who have reflected on their own life and/or military experience and so really get me. At CenterLife we noticed some years ago, as a community of best practice therapists, just how common trauma is for many of our clients. We knew that it takes more than just having a therapist who understands trauma; it takes specialized training and skills, and the clinic needed access to a range of options for clients who had experienced trauma. The good news is that a lot of research has gone into the treatment of trauma over several decades now, and so there is a range if effective modes of treatment available. It was with that professional awareness in mind that CenterLife deliberately set out to make sure our clients could access a variety of treatment modes. Our therapists include Somatic Experience, DBT, EMDR and Cognitive Therapy practitioners as well as various other effective approaches to treating trauma. Treating trauma is not just talking anymore; clients have options, and we do know from really good research what works and what does not work. Some any of our clients who have experienced trauma have judged themselves harshly for not being able to just get over it. Others have been told by others (erroneously) that they should be able to get past it. Yet others feel paralyzed and do not really know why. When it comes to trauma we need to leave that kind of judgmental language alone because it is simply wrong. We need to see things as they really are: what we have experienced is real and we are not stupid or failures because we find ourselves debilitated by that experience. When we do see things as they really are we also need to know that we are not alone, that help is available. We can do something about our trauma, not just for our own sake, but also for the sake of those whom we love. The bottom line is good news. If you have experienced trauma in your life and the symptoms are impacting your ability to be happy, to function at work, to live the life you want or to be in the relationships you enjoy, you do have options. You do not have to live with trauma and certainly not alone. High quality, effective help is available. You do have choices and hope.

If I had to pick one question I am asked the most, far and away it’s “how can I lower my score?” It’s actually easier than you think, and it’s not related to a technical swing change. Here are 10 suggestions Tee Time that will help you do it. 1. If you’re on the range Betsy before a round and you don’t have your Larey “A” game going, go with what you have. This is my number one thing to work on this year. Maybe that means hitting a 3 or a 5 wood off the tee instead of a driver. I’d rather be 20 yards shorter in the fairway than in the rough. If you don’t feel balanced during your swing, try swinging 80 percent of your normal tempo and play one more club. The worst thing you can do is to force a good swing. 2. Take the tension out of your body with these simple moves: during your swing, say the word “super-fluid” in your brain. I guarantee your tempo will be better, and you’ll have the perfect pause at the top of your backswing to start the transition to your forward swing. If your muscles are tight when you’re standing over the ball at address (and most average golfers are) let your tongue rest on the top of your mouth. Try saying the letter N, and that’s the spot it should be. Don’t laugh, it works. 3. Find the perfect grip pressure. Most people hold the club too tightly. Hold a club out in front of you with your arms straight (don’t lock your elbows) the clubhead pointing up to the sky. Close your eyes. Have the lightest grip you can without dropping the club. You are going to count to 10, adding a little more pressure each time. Ten should be a death grip. Now count back to one. Go back up again to 3 and 4. Believe it or not, that’s the perfect grip pressure for your full swing shots. 4. I’m sure you’ve heard this one many times. The most important shot in golf is the one you are hitting next. Why bother thinking about the bad shot you just hit, when it’s history and you have no control over it? On the flip side, don’t get ahead of yourself either. How many times have you been playing well and look at your scorecard and think, “if I par the last two holes, I’ll shoot my career round.” I guarantee you that you won’t. 5. Practice like you play and play like you practice. All research says you get good
at what you practice. If you practice hitting 30 7 irons from a perfect lie, you’ll get good at that. I absolutely believe everyone should dedicate one round a week for practice. No keeping score. Go out when the course isn’t busy and practice on the course. Drop balls behind a tree, in the deep rough over the green, anywhere that is anything but a perfect lie. Practice those little quarter and half swing “money wedges” within 100 yards of the green. Try it in 10 yard increments. The good players can dial these in on a consistent basis. By all means practice the shots that give you the most trouble. If you hit one you don’t like, drop another ball and hit it again. It’s amazing how easier it is when you’re not keeping score, and to get better, you need positive reinforcement. 6. Tee it up on the side of trouble. If the water, sand or out of bounds is on the right, tee it up on the right side of the tee box and aim to the left side of the fairway. 7. Play to the center of the green. Now that everybody has GPS, we all want to know what it is to the pin. I’d rather be on the green in the middle and count on my two putts than miss long or short and put pressure on hitting the perfect chip or pitch. If you have a great short game and consistently get up and down, then by all means go for the pin. 8. If you’re putting poorly, pretend the hole is the size of bushel basket. Make two putts be your goal that day. 9. Don’t follow a bad shot with a stupid shot. If you hit a poor tee shot and have no real chance at advancing the ball, maybe the best shot is sideways or backwards. It’s called taking your medicine. 10. Create your own par. How many players do you think shoot par? Less than 1 percent. I have always thought there should be multiple pars in the game of golf. Figure out how many strokes it takes you to normally hit the green on a hole and add two strokes. That’s your par. Write in on the scorecard. I guarantee you will have more fun with this game and you just may indeed break par. Betsy Larey is an LPGA Class A Teaching Professional who has taught adults and juniors for years.

Across the generations: Old T-shirt connects family to golfing great BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
It was just a T-shirt, unworn for more than half a century, found tucked away in an attic, but, oh, what fond memories it evoked, and what a buoyant moment it led to. “I didn’t know what it was, but my sister, Kim, did,” said Brian Roelofs. “She said, ‘This is the T-shirt dad wore when he caddied for Gary Player.’ ” Their father, Ronald Roelofs, was 19, a caddy at Midland Hills in 1960, when his name was drawn in a lottery to be one of the caddies for the St. Paul Open, then a regular event on the PGA Tour. The white T-shirt emblazoned with “St. Paul Open Caddy 49” was placed in storage by his mother and later passed on to Ronald’s wife, Judy. Ronald died in 2006, and after Judy passed away last year, Brian and sister Kim were cleaning out their house in Maplewood when they found the T-shirt. “I thought this T-shirt was the coolest thing I ever owned, and immediately I started wondering how I could get a photo taken with Gary Player,” said Roelofs, who owns Roelofs Insurance Agency in Willernie, and lives in Grant. He contemplated traveling to Augusta, Georgia, last year, to try meeting Player at the Masters. But this year, fortunately, he saw that the 81-year-old Player was slated to make an appearance at the 3M Classic for an exhibition round with Jack Nicklaus, Jerry Pate and Lee Trevino. Player, who’s from South Africa, logged 24 PGA Tour victories and 177 top-10 fi nishes in his career. He was off his game that week in 1960 and missed the cut, limiting his lucky caddy to just two days with Player. The following year, when Player returned to the St. Paul Open, he spotted Ronald and his brother Roger on the ropes, and strolled over to say hello and chat with the brothers. Player met another group of Roelofs this past Aug. 5 in Blaine and was just as nice. While signing autographs prior to teeing off, Player looked up from his table to see the smiling, eager faces of Brian, wife Tina, and sons

Hank, 10, and Willie, 8. Hank was wearing his grandfather’s T-shirt. When his family’s turn came, Brian said, ‘Mr. Player my dad caddied for you in 1960. I’d love to get a photo with you and my boys.” Knowing that photos were not allowed there, and the line was supposed to move fast, he added that they could wait for him outside. “Really?” said Player, intrigued. “Yes, hop up here now and let’s take it.” A couple feet to Player’s right was this fellow Nicklaus. The PGA’s all-time leader in majors victories with 18 turned toward them, smiled, and said, “Who caddied?” “My dad,” Brian answered, “caddied for Gary in 1960, wearing this shirt my son has on.” “For him? Hop on up here,” Nicklaus agreed. Roelofs laughs now in his re-telling: “Here’s the
greatest golfer of all time and we so fi xated on getting the picture with Gary that we didn’t notice Jack. It was like Jack was photo-bombing!” Tina noticed, though, and urged her family to slide over a bit, while she snapped the photo of Player with his arm around Hank, and Brian and Willie behind them, leaning in. She made sure Nicklaus was in the photo, too, doubling its impact. Roelofs would have loved to have some time to chat, but was so grateful for the generosity of Player and Nicklaus. “Whether Gary would have remembered Dad, I don’t know,” said Brian. “That was 57 years ago. But it was so cool to get that photo. I had tears in my eyes.” His father, he added, “would have been very proud.”

High-level tennis talent raises funds at 32nd Pine Tree Apple event BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Jessie Aney, a current tennis All-American at the University of North Carolina, journeyed to White Bear Lake to play in the 32nd annual Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic (PTATC). “I’ve grown up watching and admiring the tournament and its mission,” explained Aney, who teamed with former Gopher netter Jack Hamburg to earn the championship in a formidable Open Division field of 32 teams Aug. 3-6 at Lifetime Fitness. “My sister has been doing cancer research for the past few summers, and seeing the dynamic, innovative research process first-hand has shown me the difference donations can make in people’s lives,” she said. The PTATC is a fundraiser for Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota that has raised more than $5 million during its long run. Aney, going into her junior year, and UNC teammate Haley Carter won the Riviera/ITA Women’s All-American Championships doubles title this past season. Her partner at the PTATC, Hamburg, played for the Gophers from 2011-15. As always, the PTATC field was loaded with current and former collegiate athletes and coaches. All the tournaments are mixed doubles. Aney and Hamburg won five matches. In the finals, they beat Alexis Nelson, a St. Paul native who plays for California-Berkeley, and Tobias Wernet, a former Gopher MVP and current assistant coach, 7-6 (5), 7-5. Also reaching the semifinals were Diana Bukajeva, who played in the Fed Cup for her native Latvia and currently coaches at White Bear Lake Lifetime Fitness, and partner Andres Osorio,
along with Melanie Yates, former Gonzaga University and Mounds View player, and partner Julian Dehn, another former Gopher, a native of Germany. “This is my favorite event of the year,” stated Yates, who was playing in her sixth PTATC, “not only for the great food and wonderful people, but for the amazing cause and reason we all gather for this tournament.” Among the Open entrants was Mahtomedi’s new girls tennis coach Julia Courter, who will take the helm of the Zephyrs defending state championship team. Courter, a former all-Big Ten player for the Gophers, also coaches Hamline University men’s and women’s tennis. Teaming with Luke Moorhead, current Nebraska-Omaha player from Mound-Westonka, they won one match before losing to Bukajeva and Osorio. In the Masters division, Larissa Macros and Kevin Werwie were champions among 14 entrants. Wernie, a former Gopher No. 1 singles player who serves on the PTATC advisory committee, was making his 25th appearance and collected his fifth title. He and Macros, a Western Michigan athletics Hall of Famer, won a close finals match over Amy Jamiesen and Tim Burke 6-7, 6-2, 10-6. In the Grand Masters division, Susan Rudd and Dan Shannon placed first among eight entrants, beating Katie Resch and Chris Combs in the finals 7-6 (2), 6-4. Rudd, former All-American at Rice University and coached the University of Kentucky, is the club pro at Minnetonka Tennis Club. Shannon is the pro at Lifetime Fitness Eden Prairie. Combs, who quipped he started playing in his native California “when dinosaurs still roamed the earth,” has played in all 32 PTATC tournaments. (Quotes were taken from their bios in the PTATC program.)

Model classrooms are pilot programs in which select classrooms try new ways to integrate technology to increase student learning and engagement. Presentation: Q-Comp End of Year Report Jean Jordan, director of educational services, gave the school board a report on how Q-Comp has been implemented this school year. Q-Comp, short for quality compensation, is an incentive program in which licensed staff receive payment for completing key aspects of our staff development program. Currently, about 98 percent of licensed staff are on track to receive their full incentive ($1800). Presentation: 2017-18 Preliminary Budget Kristine Carr, director of administrative services, presented budget recommendations for the 2017-18 school year. The general operating budget of the district, outside of the construction projects, shows temporary deficit spending for the next school year due to fully staffing teachers at Pankalo. This is being done to better serve the increasing enrollments from member districts, which was a challenge when Karner Blue opened and was staffed to serve a lower enrollment.

Increases property tax imposed on other properties as a result of fiscal disparities contribution*:
* The fiscal disparity property tax law provides that the growth in commercial-industrial property tax values is shared throughout the area. In a tax increment financing district, this value sharing can either result in a tax increase for other properties in the municipality or result in a decrease in tax increment financing district revenue depending on how the tax increment financing district is established. Tax Increment Financing Districts 1-1, 1-2, 1-13 and 1-14 in White Bear Township does not share its growth in commercial-industrial property tax values. This results in an increase in property taxes for other properties located in White BearTownship. For taxes payable in 2016, this increase in taxes on other properties amounted to $42,934 Additional information regarding each district may be obtained from: Tom Kelly, 1281 Hammond Road, White Bear Township, MN 55110 or at (651)-747-2760.

Tracking lake level Department of Natural Resources Hydrogeologist Paul Putzier said the lake level continues to be a positive story. “After several years of normal to above normal precipitation, and relatively mild summers, it looks like the lake will enter the winter (dry season) at a very strong elevation. That bodes well for summer 2018,” he said, noting elevation in the accompanying graph. Putzier happens to be on the crew of The Robinson A-boat so he added that he is “enjoying the lake up close and personal this summer.”

“THE DARK TOWER” (PG-13) [THEMATIC MATERIAL, INCLUDING SEQUENCES OF GUN VIOLENCE, AND ACTION.] — A disappointing, loophole-filled, dark, star-dotted (Jackie Earle Haley, Dennis Haysbert, and José Zúñiga), 95-minute Stephen King thriller in which a troubled 11-yearold student (Tom Taylor), who lives with his worried, widowed mother (Katheryn Winnick) and mean stepfather in earthquakeplagued New York City, draws his terrifying, visionary nightmares and ends up traveling through a portal into the dangerous world of the dark tower at the center of the universe where a tenacious gunslinger (Idris Elba) keeps the tower from falling and preventing an evil sorcerer (Matthew McConaughey) from bringing endless darkness, demons, and monsters into the world.

WEATHER TIDBIT The Astronomical event of the summer is set to occur on Monday, August 21, the solar eclipse. While it won’t be total here in the Twin Cities, we’ll still be able to view the eclipse with proper viewing devices. Be smart and do NOT look directly at the sun. That also includes not looking through cameras and binoculars. August has been refreshingly cool so far. Most metro stations are averaging 4° to 6° colder than normal. Rainfall, after a dry July, has bounced back and is running close to normal.
Crossword
[THEMATIC ELEMENTS, VIOLENCE, SOME DISTURBING IMAGES, SEXUAL CONTENT, AND PARTIAL NUDITY.] [DVD ONLY] — When a former FBI operative (Brit Marling) is assigned by her Washington, D.C. boss (Patricia Clarkson) at a private intelligence company to infiltrate an ecoterrorist organization in this slow-paced, strange, somber, thought-provoking, star-dotted (Julia Ormond and Jason Ritter), 2-hour, 2013 espionage thriller, she becomes emotionally involved with the charismatic leader (Alexander Skarsgård) and passionate members (Ellen Page, Toby Kebbell, Danielle McDonald, Aldis Hodge, et al.).
“KEY LARGO” (NR) [DVD ONLY] — Tension and frayed nerves escalate in this black-and-white, 1948, film-noir classic thriller adapted from Maxwell Anderson’s play as an eclectic group of guests, including a former WWII Army major (Humphrey Bogart), a war widow (Laure Bacall) and her wheelchair-bound father-inlaw (Lionel Barrymore), and an alcoholic singer (Claire Trevor), are taken hostage at a hotel in the Florida Keys by a cigar-smoking gangster (Edgar G. Robinson) and his henchmen (Frank Sinatra, Harry Lewis, Thomas Gomez, Marc Lawrence, et al.) while a ravaging hurricane batters the property and the gangster tries to escape to Key West.

The Quick Stop is located at 5960 Highway 61 and is part of a strip mall owned by Alm’s Southwind Holdings LLC. He also owns Southwind Builders Inc. on nearby Leibel Street. Town Board supervisors approved the request for a new
conditional use permit Aug. 7, noting the coffee shop is not part of the application. The off-sale liquor store was first permitted in 1999 but owned by another party, now deceased. It was closed for a time while license issues were resolved with the estate. Alm then applied for the newly available license in 2013. Parking is an issue the board discussed last week since the required number of 54 stalls for the entire property is three short. Town Planner Tom Riedesel said Alm plans to get the extra three stalls by demolishing a storage building behind the old liquor store and creating two spots in front of the car wash. The shared access to a neighbor to the south will be eliminated.
The strip mall has 20 stalls in front of the scuba shop, hair salon and a former pizza tenant. Uptown Girl’s Cupcakes of White Bear Lake is currently leasing that space for offsite baking. A public hearing was held on Alm’s plan but no one spoke. The applicant did not attend the meeting. The 2,100-square-foot car wash will include exterior modifications such as the same facade as the Quick Stop building. Garage doors facing Highway 61 will be removed and converted to glass. A deck is proposed for the north side of the building. Before approving the request, Supervisor Ed Prudhon asked that staff see a revised plan for final review.
