Dave Parsons carves into the remaining portion of a maple tree in Bruce and Renee Stewart’s front yard on the south side of White Bear Lake Friday, Aug. 12. The couple — who had a sentimental attachment to the tree they planted in 1987 — enlisted the services of the chain saw artist after finding out it needed to be cut down. Earlier this month, Parsons took third place at the U.S. Open Chainsaw Sculpture Championship.

WHITE BEAR LAKE – New Central Middle School principal Timothy Schochenmaier draws on his experience as a dad in his career as a school leader. Schochenmaier has four children, which range in age from two to high school. “I feel I have a very common sense perspective for kids just having been a dad with a wide range of ages for my own kids,” Schochenmaier said, who has been the principal at Otter Lake Elementary for two years. Prior to that, he was a principal at elementary schools in Big Lake and Mora. He currently lives in New Brighton. “This will be my eighth year as an administrator at a building,” he said. “This will be my first time as a middle school principal.” Prior to being a principal, Schochenmaier was a first-grade teacher in Roseville. Schochenmaier is excited to take his education experience and move it to “tweeners.” “My middle son is an eighth grader,” he said. “One thing I really love about kids growing up is in the middle years they are finding themselves. … I think it takes a very special person to be able to give middles school age students the rope they need to be able to find themselves yet be that rock they can count on each day.” Schochenmaier's philosophy includes recognizing the middle school years as formative. “Kids need to be able to make mistakes to be able to find themselves,” he said.

Union Cemetery holds heaps of history BY NOOR QUREISHY PRESS INTERN

What does the last surviving member of the Grand Army of the Republic from the Civil War, a creator of record-winning sailboats, and a pioneer in special education have in common? They were all early citizens of White Bear Lake, now residing in Union Cemetery. Union Cemetery, located west of the Ramaley Park area, was established on June 27, 1877, by William W. Webber, who maintained the records with his son until the early 20th century. In the mid-20th century, they realized more space was needed and land along the cemetery's northern border was purchased, adding 2,500 more graves. Burial plots are still available today thanks to this foresight. On Memorial Day, a short program is held in Union Cemetery during the city-wide Memorial

Day parade. Barry Hendricks, a member of Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) said that the program is held at Union Cemetery because of the “the area's rich history that goes back to the Civil War.” The many leaders and visionaries residing in Union Cemetery built the very foundation of White Bear Lake as a town and as a community.

Community leaders Daniel Getty, who moved to White Bear Lake in the early 1860s, opened the first general store in the town in 1870, called Daniel Getty & Co. Store. Getty relocated the post office into his general store when he took over as postmaster in 1871. The new building he built five years later, on the corner of 3rd and Clark street, has served as the location for a public library, newsNOOR QUREISHY | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Camp creates fun haven for youth

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

SHOREVIEW – Gospel Hill Camp counselor Kamou Larry grew up in North Minneapolis and coming to camp over the summers put his life on a positive path. “I'd never been to camp,” Larry said, remembering when he first came to the camp in Shoreview as a child. “As soon as I came here it was amazing.” The camp has a minimal fee and Larry was grateful he could come – “At that time I don't know if my parents would have been able to afford it, so it was a great blessing,” Larry said. Larry was glad he had a place where he could spend his summers away from gangs and other youthful temptations. “People here just wanted to have fun,” Larry said. “It was a God place. I want to be a counselor that was a counselor to me.” Larry plans to continue his summer job as camp counselor throughout his studies at St. Cloud State University. “Bring kids here,” Larry said. Gospel Hill Camp has both overnight camps and day camps for youth. It is the only licensed youth camp in Ramsey County and has been around since the 1930s when it was started by the Union Gospel Mission. The day the Press visited, an overnight sports camp for teens was being held in partnership with Bethel University. Campers took part in sports activities with volunteer instructors during the day at Bethel University and stayed at the camp overnight. A day camp for elementary students was also being held. Campers took part in group singing, Bible lessons, crafts and a plethora of activities. A beach on Snail Lake provides a pontoon boat, paddle boats, paddle boards and canoes. “That is a really cool thing a lot of our kids wouldn't get to experience otherwise,” Camp Director Joel Eaton said. Lifeguard Sophie Jacobsen is a Shoreview resident studying at the University of Wisconsin. She said she has enjoyed the personal aspect of her lifeguarding at Gospel Hill Camp the last two summers. As a lifeguard, she feels she has taught campers more than water skills. “[I am] teaching skills they can apply in life,” said Jacobsen. “I love children.” Gospel Hill Camp also held an overnight teen art camp and outdoor adventure camp this summer, as well as a leadership camp. It also holds shorter overnight camps for elementary students. Prices are “super cheap,” Eaton said. “It is basically a free camp for kids who normally could not afford it.” Day camp costs just $15 per three or four-week session.

Campers and counselors enjoy a sing-along at Gospel Hill Camp in Shoreview July 27.

Overnight camp costs $10 per week. “It doesn't cover really anything,” Eaton said. The camp is funded through donations, just like the rest of the Union Gospel Mission's ministries. Ninety percent of its donors are individuals. “We have a loyal donor base,” Communications and Marketing Manager Dan Furry said. “We don't rely on government funding.” So why charge for camp at all? Eaton said charging something helps them keep track of campers, keeps campers committed to showing up and gives the message that the camp is “not a handout.” Eaton thinks the price enables families to send children to camp while still having the “dignity” of paying something and being able to “have skin in the game.” Campers are bused in, mostly from St. Paul. The camp is open to anyone and everyone; there are no applications to determine eligibility based on income level. “We have campers from varied economic backgrounds,” Eaton said. “Those in the middle class and well below the poverty line. Everybody needs Jesus.” About 10 percent of campers find out about the camp through the Union Gospel Mission's other ministries. The mission has a women's shelter, men's shelter, and other various ministries in St. Paul. The camp also has a long reputation as a Christian summer camp for inner city youth. “The purpose of our camp is to spread the gospel,” Eaton said. “It is all tied back to sharing the love of Jesus in all we do,” Furry said. The property was purchased by the Union Gospel Mission in 1930. Prior to that, it had been the site of a speakeasy and bootleg liquor operation, according to Furry. It may even have been the site of Barker-Karpis gang activity. The property was in tax forfeiture. The Union Gospel Mission, which began as a social service ministry by an association of churches in St. Paul in 1902, was looking for a place to get its clients out of the city. “Back then, this was rural,” Furry said. “The community has grown up around it.” Its first building, the Gyro building, was built during the Depression era. A second building with a gym and licensed kitchen was built in 2000 and named after Ona Orth, a volunteer who lived in a trailer at the camp for many summers. The business woman left an inheritance to the mission when she passed away. The camp is tucked behind a hill on Highway 96 and

Eaton thinks some local community members may not even know it is there. “We really do appreciate being part of this community,” Eaton said. Eaton invites the Shoreview community to get involved in the camp. This fall, it is starting a new weekly teen mentoring program to last throughout the school year and is looking for volunteer mentors. For more information visit ugmtc.org/camp or email volunteers@ugmtc.org.

Herbicides in our lakes

id you know the Department of Natural Resources has allowed the use of herbicides in our local lakes to reduce the growth of Eurasian watermilfoil? Here at the Press we received calls and e-mails from concerned residents asking why the public was not informed about the chemical treatment. According to the DNR website, “This program monitors the growth of Eurasian watermilfoil in the state; reduces the growth of Eurasian watermilfoil in coordination with appropriate local units of government, special purpose districts, and lakeshore associations, including technical assistance; and coordinates cooperative research the University of Minnesota Publisher’s with and other research facilities to study the use of biological control View methods and herbicides.” Carter Johnson With bodies of water throughout the state being treated, how does the general public learn when it may not be safe to let kids go swimming? Currently a flyer is placed inside a waterproof Ziploc-type bag and floated near the treated area. Only a curious boater might pull up to see what was in the baggie and learn about the treatment. There isn’t anything posted at the nearby beach, boat launches or with residents that live on that shoreline. The public has a right to know. Public notices in local newspapers and signs at launches and beaches would help. An advance notice of the treatments would allow locals, swimmers and fisherman the option to decide if they want to use a lake that has been treated. If this is an issue for you, contact your local legislator. All-American pastime Sunday my son and I invited a few friends to a St. Paul Saints vs. Sioux Falls Canaries game. We headed to CHS field and parked in the old Baptist church parking lot for $5 right off the 10th/Wacouta Street exit. Its an easy drive into St. Paul and lawn seats to the game start at $5. Our seats were right off first base. The new stadium is open, functional and allows sightlines to the action from most locations in the park. It is considered to be one of the best stadiums in the country. As we walked around to check out the food vendors, we found chef Trey who carves roast beef sandwiches served with sweet potato squares, couscous and paired it with a Goose Island beverage. Behind the outfield the kids could pay to play in bounce houses, test their pitching speed, or try a mini batting cage. As we settled back into our seats my son caught a fly ball that slipped out of the hands of the guy in front of him and landed in his hot dog. Since it was a Sunday night the kids were able to run the bases and the players were available for autographs. As summer winds down, catch a St. Paul Saints game at CHS field. You won’t be disappointed. Letters from camp With a few years of experience we have gotten smarter about how we do summer camp. We send both kids the same week – which saves us a trip up north and gives us a relatively quiet week at home. Trout Lake Camp has been a family tradition for us. My dad shares stories of work trips where they built cabins back in the late ’70s. Today most of the cabins have been rebuilt and some of the newer cabins are complete with air conditioning. Letters from camp come via e-mail midweek. I remember my camp days of waking up in a hot cabin sweaty and jumping in the lake to cool off and “shower.” My kids don’t seem to be roughing it quite as much, though my son’s only shower of the week was swimming in the lake three times. The kids come home from camp more independent, having made new friends and memories. Our region, perhaps more than any other area of the country, has many great YMCA and church-affi liated camps that give kids a break from the daily routine and give them a safe outdoor experience. When your kids are ready, consider sending them to a week-long overnight camp. If you have more than one kid, consider sending them together to give yourself a little break, too.

Telling your story

ne of the roles of a school board member is to tell our very compelling school district stories. I have been able to get into several Minnesota schools to see first- hand just a few examples of fantastic activities and accomplishments of our students. Here are three such stories that don’t just involve the students, but also our teacher advocates, administrators and commembers. Movers & munity I was invited by AchieveMpls Shakers (Foundation to Kevin Donovan Minneapolis Public Schools) to spend a morning with a building principal at a Minneapolis Public School. I had the opportunity to shadow Hale Elementary building leader, Ryan Fitzgerald. Hale Elementary is an older building located in South Minneapolis filled with caring teachers and students excited to learn. I could tell right away that Ryan had a passion and enthusiasm for his students and staff. Even though he was giving me a tour and introducing me to students and staff, his first priority was always to the students of Hale and their learning. I just so happened to be visiting on the same day that another VIP was touring Hale Elementary, Precious the Piglet. I was no match for the star power of

Precious. It was very evident to me that amazing student learning was happening before my eyes. When we returned and regrouped from our building visits, those of us who were shadowing principals had a chance to compare notes. All of us had an amazing experience and left Minneapolis schools with a profound sense of wonderment at the caring committed adults and the engaged student learners. My second visit was to Centennial Middle School. I read a story in the local paper about an amazing citizen from Lino Lakes who donated $100 to Centennial Middle School this past November on the Give to the Max Day. Little did Marjorie Wood know the timing of her donation triggered a $20,000 “golden ticket” that earmarked additional money to the initial intended designee. This story and more was shared with me by several middle school students. The media specialist, Sara Florin, made very good use of the $20,000 gift. The students and I were in agreement that the new media center furniture and layout was very conducive to learning and having constructive conversation in small groups. Students of CMS now see the media center as the go-to-place for using technology and begin able to engage in collaborative learning. I also had a fantastic opportunity to visit with Gabriel Benitez, a senior at Anoka High School and Gates Millennium Scholar. I sat down with Gabe to learn more about his life and his challenges. He

knew from an early age that learning came easy to him. When he began high school he was introduced to the inclusive and supportive “Anoka High School Family.” Gabe became very engaged in all aspects of his high school experience, participating in varsity sports, rock climbing, volunteering in Minneapolis and being the student representative for the Anoka-Hennepin Indian Education Parent Advisory Committee. With the suggestion of the AHS Career Counselor, Colleen Neary, Gabe applied for, and was awarded, the Gates Foundation Scholarship. A wonderful aspect of this scholarship is that it is renewable every year and the student can use it for postgraduate studies. Gabe shared that he will be attending the U of M in the fall, studying bio-engineering and astrophysics. Tell the stories that show what amazing activities our students are engaged in. Choose narratives that are easy to remember, so one can share with community stakeholders and state and federal elected ofﬁcials. Make sure to use social media to reinforce and amplify the story! As board members we need to be advocates, cheerleaders and the storytellers of the “points of pride” that are happening every day in our school districts. Kevin Donovan is president of the Minnesota School Boards Association, a Mahtomedi School Board member, and Director of Development for the Mahtomedi Area Education Foundation.

Candidate has great record Our community needs a representative that is open and honest with her community. Having looked at the two candidates in the race for Senate District 42B House, only one meets those qualifications – Jamie Becker-Finn. She has a great record as an assistant county attorney fighting for abuse victims. Her opponent, on the other hand, hasn't even bothered to file the required financial disclosures with the State of Minnesota. Is she hiding something or is she just unwilling or unable to perform one of the most basic functions of being a political candidate? The choice is clear. Becker-Finn in November! Evan W.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Edina looks for burglary suspect in White Bear Lake Residents were alarmed by a loud noise in the 1800 block of Highway 96 about 6:30 a.m. Aug. 2. Law enforcement officers from various agencies were on scene. The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported it was likely a flash bang device used by the SWAT team, who was assisting the Edina Police Department with a warrant search. A residential burglary in Edina traced a suspect to the address in White Bear Lake. Three people were called out of the home and then the Edina Police Department executed their search warrant. No arrests were made, reported the White Bear Lake Police Department.

Real estate agent put on probation for stealing client's drugs Lawrence Yearsley, Jr., of White Bear Lake, was put on five years of probation for a fi fth-degree drug violation, reports the Washington County Attorney’s Office. Yearsley was sentenced for stealing opioid narcotics from a Stillwater seller's home while serving as their real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Burnet. The complaint reports that Yearsley asked to show their home on Oct. 30. They chose to eat outside and stated they never saw anyone go inside to see the home besides Yearsley. A video camera in their son's room revealed Yearsley going through the desk and dresser in the room and shaking a bottle of pills, which were also heard shaking in

his pocket as he left the room. A schedule 4 opioid narcotic was missing after Yearsley's visit. Yearsley sent an apology note to the home seller's, which read: “I want to sincerely apologize for my actions when showing your home recently. It was very unprofessional of me and I regret it very much. I broke the trust that sellers place in their agents, and for that I am sorry. You can rest assured that it will never happen again.” The terms of Yearsley's probation include a $50 fi ne, no use of alcohol, no use of drugs, random testing, chemical dependency evaluation within 30 days, remain law abiding and comply with booking order.

In October 2015, “Nikki” was diagnosed with DCIS, which is considered Stage 0 breast cancer. Multiple surgeries led to the discovery that it was much farther along - at least Stage 2 of a rapidly spreading tumor. As the oncologist said,”It has legs” and had moved into the lymph nodes. The original treatment plan called for surgery and radiation; this would not be enough. Consequently she endured two rounds of chemotherapy - twelve 3 hour sessions for round one and four 3 hour sessions of what some cancer patients call the “Red Devil” or the “Ruby Sisters.” Sixteen sessions total. Following this chemo regimen, Nikki has started the seven weeks of radiation. Needless to say these treatments were exhausting, nauseating, and extremely tiring with many long days in bed. With three children in activities and enduring days of unsettling body reactions to her cancer treatment, Nicole has remained positive throughout. This, what our family calls her “Olympic Challenge Benefit”, is to celebrate life and show support for Nicole and her family. All contributions and donations will be used to defray the cost of the surgeries, testing, travel and scores of doctor visits, prescription co pays as well as ten years of future estrogen blocking medications designed to hopefully stop the cancer from reoccurring.

CEMETERY: Holds the history of the White Bear Lake area FROM PAGE 1A

paper office, telephone company, hall, and more. Hattie Long's tombstone only has one word inscribed under her name: “teacher.” Long is described as a “pioneer of special education” by the White Bear Lake Historical Society. She taught at White Bear Washington School for most of her career, teaching for a total of 34 years at White Bear. She was also known as a geologist and writer. A U.S. Army Captain in two wars and publisher of the White Bear Press for nearly 25 years, Warren Stickley more than lived up to his designation as “Citizen No.1” in the White Bear Hall of Fame. He moved to White Bear Lake in 1922 and purchased the White Bear Press only a year later. Stickley also helped organize the White Bear Lake Historical Society, and he and his wife, Helen Stickley, were very active in veterans organizations and local clubs.

Military leaders A former member of the Norwegian Navy, Gus Amundson was one of the best boat builders based in White Bear Lake. Before moving to White Bear in 1887, he trained in naval architecture in Norway. Amundson built many record-winning sailboats during his career at Amundson Boat Works on the lakeshore. By 1902, he'd become so well known that 90 percent of his yachts were shipped to New York. Sewell “Sew” Smith, the last surviving member of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) of his time according to records from 1932, first moved to White Bear Lake in 1895. Smith fought in 26 battles during the Civil War, and he was a soldier, prisoner of war, farmer, lumberjack, livery stable owner, vet, and justice of the peace during his lifetime.

The GAR monument memorial in the cemetery also has a rich history in White Bear. The GAR monument is a stone cross, erected in 1938 to replace the wooden cross that had stood there before. The monument was placed there by E.B. Gibbs Post of American Legion #168. Over 20 Civil War veterans are buried in the Union Cemetery.

American Indian history An American Indian burial mound marker is also located in the cemetery. The marker commemorates the place where the skeletons of 19 Native Americans, taken from the largest of the 10 Native American burial mounds that once stood in White Bear, were buried. The original resting place of the 19 Native Americans was destroyed in 1889 due to the public's concerns about the safety of drivers on a nearby road and their desire to make White Bear seem more progressive. William F. Markoe, the owner of the land the burial mound stood on and one of the advocates for keeping the mound intact is quoted in “Looking Back at White Bear Lake” by Cynthia E. Vadnais: “Not till the workmen reached the natural level of the ground did they begin to realize the gruesome character of the work they were engaged in.” Once the workmen realized that they were effectively digging up graves, the destruction of the mound was paused. The artifacts found in the mound are now with the Minnesota Historical Society, although some of them were carried off by local residents. Other miscellaneous bones found in the mound were buried by Markoe in a grave on his property. The historical information in this article was compiled from “Looking Back at White Bear Lake: A Pictorial History of the White Bear Lake Area” by Cynthia E. Vadnais.

encourages his teachers to teach in such a way that students “like school” and “feel good about themselves, maintain their dignity and learn in their just right way.” “I really love helping kids learn and putting systems in place so kids can reach their full potential,” he said. “Mr. Schochenmaier has demonstrated exceptional skill and leadership at Otter and in our district level initiatives and discussions,” said Superintendent Michael Lovett. “He is a visible, confident principal and will be an excellent fit for Central Middle School.”

Technology, orchestra and the globe Some of the good work Central Middle School has been doing that Schochenmaier hopes to continue includes its technology initiative, its International Baccalaureate status, and its arts and athletic opportunities. Last year White Bear Lake Schools issued personal Chromebooks to every middle school student. “It has the potential to transform learning,” Schochenmaier said. Schochenmaier also hopes to continue and expand on arts and athletics at the school, including clubs. He thinks extracurricular activities help middle school students thrive in academics. “Any time you get them involved in anything and they are connected to school, they are more successful across all the areas,” he said. Schochenmaier is excited the orchestra classes he helped start in White Bear Lake elementary schools will be expanded to sixth graders at middle schools this year. Last year he was the elementary music principal representative for the district. The orchestra program will expand to another grade each year for

the next six or seven years. Schochenmaier said he is excited to see orchestra added to the middle school's options among its already great band and choir programs. Schochenmaier also supports the school's International Baccalaureate (IB) status. IB means the school teaches students how to thrive in a globalized world and learn how different subjects relate to each other. “Kids are getting the Minnesota state standards in interdisciplinary ways, connecting science, social studies and language arts. … It is definitely a unique thing and a draw to White Bear Lake.” The district plans to hire a one-year interim principal for Otter Lake Elementary, and plans to involve staff and parents in the process.

Timothy Schochenmaier is the new principal for Central Middle School.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES The White Bear Lake City Council conducted the following business at its Aug. 10 meeting: • Heard a second reading of a proposed ordinance approving an amendment to City Charter regarding mayor veto rights. Retired City Manager Mark Sather provided background to council on the veto amendment. He is a new member of the Charter Commission. The change allows any ordinance or resolution vetoed by the mayor to be reconsidered by council, but only at its next regular meeting that takes place more than seven days after the veto. The council can override the veto with a four-fifths vote. "The veto issue eliminates what the charter commission felt was an inconsistency," Sather said. "It will eliminate the need (for a council member) to Skype in to a meeting." Since two council members had an excused absence — Don Jones and Bill Walsh — a vote on the ordinance was tabled until the next council meeting. The decision must be unanimous (all council members present) to pass. • Approved a request by John Hartinger for a conditional use permit (CUP) for 75 off-site parking spaces at "The Charleston," 4525 White Bear Pkwy. Parking on neighboring property to the south will accommodate additional seating for the new event center during hours of Fridays after 4:30 p.m. to midnight Sunday.

• Heard a first reading of an ordinance to opt out of recently passed legislation requiring cities to permit temporary family health care dwellings. Community Development Director Anne Kane noted that the city already has a provision for temporary dwellings with a CUP. "Staff is not opposed to these. They've been allowed for 25 years," Kane noted. Mayor Jo Emerson said as far as she knows, only Osseo is opting in of metro area cities. "We want to control our own destiny," she said. • Approved a request by Flips Gymnastics for a CUP time extension for property located at 3505 Commerce Blvd. Financing is taking longer than expected for a 5,000-square-foot building addition and small parking lot expansion. Staff reported that the cost of an underground storm water system is higher than owners Bart and Lori Roskoski anticipated and they are looking at options. • City Manager Ellen Richter reported on the primary election. Turnout was low — 7 percent. The new voting equipment worked well, she said. • Finally, Kane updated council that staff is having additional meetings with a local restaurateur regarding the vacant Boatworks Commons building. "We're cautiously optimistic that we will secure that location," she said. Debra Neutkens

American Pickers to film in Minnesota this August BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

Now in its sixth year of filming, the History Channel reality television show “American Pickers” has plans to film in Minnesota this August. The show recently announced an open call for any Minnesota resident to submit their collection for consideration. The show features two hosts, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, who travel around the country looking for valuable antique treasures hidden among many “junk” items that people have accumulated over the years. Currently, the show is on the hunt for Minnesotans who may have large and unique collections to share on national television. The

show often seeks items such as motor scooters and other unique vehicles, furniture, early electronics (television sets, radios, telephones), old toys, fishing items, antique artwork, bicycles, cap and BB guns and many other items. An “American Pickers” staff member said that the film crew has not yet selected specific locations or dates for filming, since those choices rely on the responses they receive. If you are interested in suggesting your collection to be featured on the show, contact the show by email at americanpickers@cineflix.com, or leave a voicemail at 1-800-OLD-RUST with your name, town, state, phone number, location of the collection and a description of your items. The show does not accept collections from flea markets or retail shops.

Speaker of the House speaks to business leaders BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE â€“ Speaker of the House of Representatives Kurt Daudt updated White Bear Lake Chamber of Commerce members on legislative issues affecting businesses at a meeting Aug. 11. Daudt, a Republican, reported on two items he thought business leaders may have wished were passed in the legislature this session, but were not passed. One was a tax bill that was approved by the House of Representatives and Senate but was not signed by the governor in time due to a one-word error, said Daudt. â€œNobody caught it until after the session,â€? Daudt said. A bill becomes â€œpocket vetoedâ€? after 14 days. Daudt hopes a special session can be called to bring the tax bill back to the governor's desk. The bill â€œwould provide $550 million dollars of ongoing permanent tax relief for Minnesotans,â€? Daudt said. The bill included an exemption of the first $100,000 of property value for state property taxes. Only commercial properties and seasonal recreational properties pay property taxes to the state. So if a business's real estate was worth $300,000 the first $100,000 would be

exempt from property taxes. â€œIt would have its biggest impact on the smaller mom and pop businesses,â€? Daudt said. Daudt described the desired tax change as a â€œfirst stepâ€? to a change Republican leaders are seeking. â€œWe would like to see that statewide business property tax completely removed and hopefully move in the direction of making our tax code much more favorable and much more competitive to our employers that are here in Minnesota,â€? Daudt said. A bonding bill was also not passed due to legislature deadlines. â€œWe passed it out of the House in the last night of the session and sent it over to the Senate. â€Ś They added an amendment for Southwest light rail and attempted to send it back to us. We ran out of time, we had already adjourned.â€? The Senate then attempted to remove the amendment but â€œran out of time.â€? â€œIt didn't make it to the governor's desk,â€? said Daudt. â€œIt would have been the largest bonding bill ever passed in the history of the state of Minnesota,â€? Daudt said. Republicans wouldn't normally support such a large bonding bill, but voted for it due to its focus on infrastructure, Daudt reported. The bill had about $700 million of onetime â€œroad and bridge money,â€? which

made up about 50 percent of the bill. â€œWe thought that was a great onetime infusion of cash into our road and bridge infrastructure,â€? Daudt said. Daudt hopes a special session can be held to pass the bonding bill as well. The House of Representatives is currently majority Republican and the Senate is majority Democrat.

Daudt has been the speaker of the house since January 2015. Daudt is a representative for District 31A, which includes the areas of Zimmerman, St. Francis, Oak Grove, Nowthen and Bethel. He was elected in 2010 and has also been the minority leader in the House of Representatives.

First new bat species discovered in Minnesota in more than a century ARDEN HILLS – An evening bat, never before discovered in Minnesota, was caught at Minnesota Army National Guard's Training Site in Arden Hills in July. Researchers from the DNR Nongame Wildlife Program and Central Lakes College were conducting a survey as part of the three-year project to study summer breeding habits of the state’s forest bats when they found the evening bat. They determined the bat that was caught was different than the seven species of documented Minnesota bats. On July 27, the DNR received confirmation from a national bat genetics lab in Arizona that it was an evening bat, nycticeius humeralis. “It’s very exciting to discover a new bat species in the state,” said DNR endangered species coordinator Rich Baker. “The evening bat’s historic range is limited to central Iowa. As our project proceeds, we’ll be keeping an eye out for more evening bats. For now, we don’t know if this was an isolated individual blown north in a storm, or if this species has indeed expanded its range into Minnesota.” Mammal species new to the state are extremely rare, with the most recent being a shrew in 1991. The bat study is supported by the Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund, the National Guard, and donations to the Nongame Wildlife Fund. SUBMITTED

Stillwater will become winter wonderland with addition of ice castle BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

STILLWATER – It may still be muggy Minnesota summer outside, but the city of Stillwater is looking ahead to the deep freeze of winter. The Stillwater Downtown Parking Commission voted unanimously July 21 to approve the use of Municipal

Ice Castles LLC has created castles in cities across the nation.

Lot 5, located near the riverside gazebo, for an ice castle this coming winter. The Ice Castle has traditionally been constructed in Eden Prairie each year, but Utahbased Ice Castles LLC recently decided to make a move to Stillwater, for the long term. Historically, there have been ice castles in the Twin Cities metro for more than a century, beginning in 1886 in downtown St. Paul. The city of St. Paul borrowed the idea from the city of Montreal, which had constructed an ice palace in years past but was prevented from building one in 1886 due to a smallpox epidemic. The St. Paul structure was one of the first buildings in the city to have electric lighting. A number of castles have been constructed downtown over the years in association with the annual Winter Carnival. Recent Stillwater downtown visioning meetings have included creating winter attractions to the city. In addition to the castle, the city is also set to host Hockey Day MN, followed by a second annual Sticks in Stillwater mites hockey tournament and festival. “The city council and staff have been interested in finding activities that would occur during the wintertime just to make downtown a destination beyond our busy season, so this certainly is a big step in that direction,” said Community Development Director Bill Turnblad. Turnblad said this avalanche of winter activities was somewhat born out of coincidental

timing, but also that increasing winter activity had been an important part of planning conversation in the last few months. The castle is expected to draw 60,000 visitors. Construction would begin on the wood frame and water pumping facilities on Oct. 10, and the structure can be open to the public as soon as Dec. 26, dependent on the weather. The Hockey Day MN festivities will also require an ice rink to be set up on Mulberry Point, on the Northern End of Lowell Park. “The rink was always going to be established by Mulberry Point, so the rink itself doesn't interfere with placement of the ice castle,” said City Administrator Tom McCarty. “But Hockey Day MN is a singular

event, it moves from city to city around the state, where the ice castle folks would like to make this a multiple year event. In future years, if Hockey Day MN isn't occupying the northern end, the ice castle might look to move further north.” The increased activity this winter might put a bit of strain on the city's public resources, McCarty said. “There will be upward pressures on parking and management and snow removal, but I think by and large this is viewed as a positive impact on community over the winter,” he said. In the meantime, the city will help to facilitate communication between the construction of the castle and preparation for the hockey events.

“Coordination between these two items is a key component,” McCarty said. “Bottom line is, that's not all figured out yet because a lot of that has to do with the two parties. We can't figure that all out, but we can help facilitate.” According to the city's fee policy, the charge to use the lot for 157 off-season days would be $1,648.50, which should be paid by the Oct. 10 construction date. The actual number of days the lot is closed will be calculated when the event is over, and any overpayment (should the castle not last the full 157 days) will be refunded.

Mahtomedi’s new tennis coach is former pro and UCLA All-American BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Not many high school coaches have played against the likes of Tracy Austin and Martina Navratilova in Grand Slam tournaments. That will be the case at Mahtomedi, however, as Kathy Alex takes over the Zephyrs tennis team that opened practices this week. Alex was one of the leaders of UCLA’s national champion team in 1982, playing No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles, and reached NCAA doubles finals in 1982. She was a four-time All-American in both singles and doubles. Alex also played on the Women’s Tennis Association pro tour from age 16 to 24, including four U.S. Opens and one Wimbledon. “We had one match against Martina and Pam Shriver at the U.S. Open where we were the only ones to win a set against them in the tournament,” said Alex, whose partner was Terry Holliday. Alex’s top tour rankings were 158th in singles and 30th in doubles. For all that, Alex says her “main claim to fame”

The younger ones are ranked and doing pretty well,” said Alex, who taught the game to all nine, and hundreds of other kids, as a tennis teaching pro. After coaching at Marymount University in California for several years, she lived for a decade in her husband’s native country, Greece. The family re-settled in Minnesota because “the older kids were living in the Midwest, so we wanted to be near them,” Alex said. She has coached many ranked junior players, some of whom earned college scholarships, at academies and camps in the U.S. and overseas. Alex also joined Inner City Tennis this month as head coach of 12-and-under development.

KinderCare inspires metro senior connections SHOREVIEW – The intergenerational program between Shoreview KinderCare and North Oaks Brookdale Senior Living has inspired a partnership between the two entities across the metro. The program was begun by Kimberly Baar, director of Shoreview KinderCare, who believes the connection students and seniors form during their time together benefits both groups. KinderCare students visit Brookdale Senior Living to engage in intergenerational activities, such as planting flowers, reading books and crafts. “This program teaches children skills and ideas we can’t teach inside the four walls of our school,” Baar said. “We can talk to children about respect and generosity, but there’s nothing like putting those ideas into practice by visiting someone in their home. No book can teach that. My hope is that this program teaches children compassion and understanding for the elderly.” School-age children from local KinderCare Learning Centers across the metro will now begin making once-a-month visits to seniors who have Alzheimer’s or dementia at Brookdale centers around the metro area. The children will join the seniors in an activity or project tailored to that community’s needs. Five intergenerational programs launched in July across the Twin Cities. In the coming months, the program will expand to all 10 Brookdale communities in the metro area. “Intergenerational programs like these benefit both groups,” said Beth Landers, Business Development Director with Brookdale Senior Living. “Children not only gain an appreciation for older people, but a self-esteem boost from being able to assist others. Seniors, in turn, are able to form connections with people outside of their immediate family and caregivers, thus lessening the isolation that often accompanies old age.” From press release

Locker clean outs cut down on waste WHITE BEAR LAKE – School supplies are starting to hit store shelves around Washington County, but some teachers in the White Bear Lake Area Schools district started their stockpiles before school even let out. That’s thanks in part to an effort to refocus end of the year locker clean outs. Typically, everything ends up in the garbage when students at the 14 district schools empty their lockers in the last few days of the year. Dan Roeser, building operations supervisor, said that results in a lot of waste, to the point where a dumpster fills up within an hour. In 2015, Roeser piloted a diversion program at two schools with help from an educational consultant and collaboration with Ramsey and Washington counties. When students sorted their waste into piles of reusable or recyclable items, the amount of trash was cut by about 75 percent. Following the success of those pilots, Roeser asked the principals in the district if any would be interested in participating in a similar program. The response was unanimous. Every principal wanted his or her entire school to do a waste sort at the end of the year. “Students are aware that everything thrown in the garbage goes into the waste stream; it does not magically disappear,” said Otter Lake Elementary teacher Thom Green. “They realize that every object thrown away will have an impact. By putting their used school supplies in the reuse buckets, they know they are lessening the waste stream, and

also know that someone who is in need will benefit. It is a simple but effective way to help children to give back to the community.” In June, recycling containers were set up at sorting stations every 30 to 40 lockers. Monitors, both student and professional, helped guide the sorting. Roeser and Dan Schoepke, senior environmental specialist for Washington County, offered guidance as students picked through the items accumulated over the school year. Students at the elementary schools, too young for lockers, did their part by cleaning out their desks. The resulting pens, pencils, glue sticks, binders, notebook paper, and more were taken to teacher lounges, where staff could take anything they thought might be useful for the next school year. Leftovers were taken to summer school sites. Roeser said the extra items offered teachers a chance to gather supplies for students who might not have the resources to come to school with all the necessary materials. Sorting locker waste not only created a cache of recycled materials but also produced cost savings for the school district. Ordinarily, it takes nearly a week for the district to finish scheduling and executing extra scheduled trash collection for all the extra waste. This year, thanks to additional recycling pick-ups scheduled at about a third of the cost of trash collection, there was less expense. In response to the interest and support for the waste diversion program, the dis-

Online schooling offers opportunities BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

When traditional education just isn't working for students, free public online schooling offers a way for students to still succeed. White Bear Lake resident and 2004 White Bear Lake High School graduate Brandi Curran is a special education teacher with Minnesota Transitions School - Minnesota Connections Academy (MTSMCA), an online school. Curran is licensed in K-12 special education. She works with about 30 students at a time with MTSMCA, and usually teaches kindergarten through second grade, but also typically teaches a few middle schoolers.

“We are a great choice for the right student. It is not a diploma mill or something people should think less of.” Dawn Mensing BlueSky Online School counselor Curran said she delivers lessons daily via the internet. Students tune in to her live instruction and their at-home learning coach, typically a parent or guardian, will provide oversight to the student. Curran is also available to work one-on-one with students online and can always be reached via phone during her office hours. “I am able to provide them the instruction they need when they need it,” Curran said. Students can interact with each other via a chat pod during live lessons, using webcams and microphones. Students will meet each other in person while on field trips or while taking part in clubs. Every teacher takes turns planning field trips, which are attended by any MTSMCA student, not necessarily the ones they teach. Curran, who previously worked as a paraprofessional at a traditional school in Maplewood, said she feels a strong connection to her students and their families. “I think the most unique aspect (of teaching online) is that I get a close relationship with all of my families, parents and siblings,” Curran said. “I feel more of a one-to-one or personal connection with my families.” Curran said the opportunity to learn so much about technology while learning any subject is a

great benefit of online schooling. “I think it is a great opportunity for students if their traditional school is not working,” Curran said. “It is a great place. I kind of wish I had something like this when I was in high school. It is a really cool way to learn: computers, Word, Excel, Powerpoint.”

High school online Vadnais Heights resident Dawn Mensing is a counselor for BlueSky Online School. Mensing is part of an academic team for each BlueSky student, which includes a teacher, counselor and social worker when needed. Mensing's role is to offer personal, social and academic counseling, and advise students on their academic future. “It is really a good feeling when you work with a student to get their high school diploma,” Mensing said. “To see them graduate is a great accomplishment. Some students have been victims of bullying. Other students come to BlueSky, or online schools in general, because they are looking for a different way of learning.” This year Mensing helped a student who was a quarter credit shy of graduating get the needed credit by June. If that hadn't happened, the student would have aged out of free public education, as they were 21 years old. Otherwise, they would have had to get a GED. Both students who struggle with traditional schooling or want more advanced work at their own pace choose online learning. Mensing said other students choose online learning due to family obligations or are parents themselves. Some students have rigorous sports schedules and travel a lot. The flexibility of the program allows these students to study when they are available. High school classes are available 24/7. “If they are a student who is really successful at 10 at night they can be on at 10 at night,” said Mensing, remarking on how she enjoys the flexibility herself. “I like the flexibility it provides for myself and our students. I work out of home and an office.” Before working at BlueSky, Mensing was an admissions advisor at Century College. Now she prepares seniors for applying to college – online or traditional styles. Mensing also oversees the school's assessments. As the school is a free public charter school, students must still take the MCAs (Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments). The school also offers the ACT to students. “We are not the best place for every student,” Mensing said. “We are a great choice for the right

student. It is not a diploma mill or something people should think less of. They (students) are self motivated, they are interested in learning and it certainly is comparable to your traditional school. It is just a different delivery method.” More than 1.5 million K-12 students received education in online or blended learning and about 310,000 students took full-time online courses in 2013, according to the International Association for K-12 Online Learning as reported in “Keeping Pace with K-12 Online Learning.” BlueSky Online School is unique to Minnesota. It started in 2000. It has about 500 students. Alumni and students from the northeast metro have come from White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights, Shoreview Mahtomedi, Hugo, Centerville, Lino Lakes, Lexington, Circle Pines, Stillwater and Forest Lake. Connections Academy is offered across the country. In Minnesota it runs through a partnership with Minnesota Transitions Charter School. It began in Minnesota in 2005 with eight students and one teacher. It now has 2,000 students K-12 and over 60 full-time faculty.

Vadnais Heights youth graduates from 4-H The Anoka County 4-H Graduation and Scholarship Ceremony took place on Sunday, July 31 at the Anoka Country Fair. The 22 graduates will use the skills they gained through the Anoka County 4-H Program as they move on to the workforce or higher education. Michael Rouch of the Lamplighters 4-H Club in Vadnais Heights was one of this year's graduates. 4-H is a youth development and mentorship program that seeks to provide members with leadership and life skills.

The District 832 School Board took the following action at its Aug. 11 meeting: • Heard a presentation on the district's services for students with Emotional/Behavior Disorders (EBD) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The staff is developing a Transitions Program for students age 18-21. Students will be involved in vocational education through District 916, post-secondary education and work experience, said Beth Sneden. The staff is also expanding its work experience program for ages 14-18. The program provides job training, college and career readiness, vocational assessment and situational assessment. Service models were also changed at O.H. Anderson Elementary by separating students with EBD and ASD and remodeling space to include more quiet space for students, said Sneden. • Discussed planning for high school and middle school parking lot projects for 2017-2018, phase two of its abatement bond projects. The board chose a high school parking lot plan which will add six spaces, two of which will be with handicapped access. Several community members and students spoke to the school board in support of this option. Other options would have added about 175225 parking spaces, but speakers opposed the parking lot as it would have taken land used by environmental science classes and thought an existing parking lot across the road was sufficient and provided exercise to students walking to the school from there. One reason a new parking lot was proposed by the district was a concern for student safety crossing the road. • Approved a land lease agreement for an ice arena to be built close to the high school. • Closed open enrollment for 2016. Board member Mike Chevalier opposed the closure and proposed accepting students of staff and siblings for grades K-2. “I don't see a problem. I think we should accept them,” Chevalier said. “It still reflects a downward trend. I would like to ask the board to reconsider those three grades.”

Board Chair Lucy Payne explained the district planned to keep the kindergarten number around 160 in order to keep class sizes low, even though it is fewer students than in previous years. “We are seeing so much movement and growth over the years,” Payne said. “We made a decision as a board to reduce the sections of kindergartens.” Board member Judith Schwartz added, “Every single one (denied) is painful.” Schwartz said it is necessary to “get the right number of kids.” Board member Julie McGraw added, “We budget for 492 students (overall) and we are four below that right now.” Payne noted she believes students will move into the district before the start of school. “I feel confident we will have four students show up,” she said. • Approved changes and improvements for parent and student handbooks. • Called for the school district general election. Three four-year term seats will be on the ballot Nov. 8. The terms of Lucy Payne, Judith Schwartz and Stacey Stout (appointed to replace Mary Jo Deters) expire Jan. 1 2017. • Announced regular school board meetings to be the second Thursday of the month for the 2017-2018 school year. An exception will be in January due to a leadership conference; the meeting will be held Jan. 5. • Superintendent Mark Larson talked about Olympics coaching related to academic coaching. “These are the best athletes in their country and these are people that have coaches,” said Larson. “One of the goals we have this year is to do a better job with our professional learning communities and the way that we coach.” Larson touched on goals the district has that coaching can assist with: “As we go forward through this year we will be focusing on looking at the way we improve through equity, growth mindset and future-ready skills, and we will be needing coaching to get us all the way through that.” Sara Marie Moore

St. Croix Crossing construction ramps up this summer

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

The St. Croix Crossing bridge will open for use in late 2017. BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

STILLWATER – The St. Croix Crossing bridge project has experienced numerous delays, but as of summer 2016, the structure is finally beginning to make significant strides toward completion. When complete, the bridge will connect Oak Park Heights and St. Joseph, Wisconsin across the St. Croix River, rerouting the traffic from the aging Lift Bridge in downtown Stillwater. Last week, workers at the St. Croix Crossing on-site casting yard cast the final bridge segment. Since summer 2014, crews have produced nearly 330 pre-cast segments at the on-site casting yard. These segments are being used for the approach ramps and bridges on Minnesota land and are smaller than the river bridge segments, being cast at Grey Cloud Island. Paul Kivisto is the bridge construction engineer of the St. Croix Crossing project. On Piers 8 and 9, all 29 segments are now complete, Kivisto said. “There's a small gap in the center that's about two feet in distance,” he said. “That will be closed up with what we call a concrete closure pour. It's a castin-place pour—it's not a precast segment—and the

process will be we will jack the segment ends apart slightly, fill it with rebar and some post-tensioning ducts, and then cast the concrete. Once the concrete is cured, then the jacks will be released, it puts a little compression into that closure pour, and then that will complete the span.” The closure pours are scheduled to occur this fall, likely in November continuing into spring of 2017. By that time, the bridge span is expected to be complete from end to end. Kivisto said that the structure will bring much-needed relief to traffic-heavy downtown Stillwater. “I think the congestion in Stillwater will be a big thing that this thing will enable the traveling public to avoid,” he said. “To be able to cross the St. Croix River without the congestion of downtown Stillwater and the Lift Bridge itself. This has the anticipated traffic of 30,000 vehicles plus per day. So two lanes each direction certainly will add to the capacity. It will relieve some of the congestion in downtown Stillwater.” Kivisto said he definitely takes pride in working on the project, even in the face of its setbacks. “It's been rewarding to be a part of team of the construction as well as the design,” he said. “It's a

hundred year bridge. And certainly we're hoping it will last a lot longer than that.” The St. Croix Crossing project also include the transformation of the old Lift Bridge into a bicycle bridge, and the creation of a new bicycle route that will loop over each bridge and run along the river on each side. The contracts for these projects have not yet been decided, which accounts for the fluctuation of the project's total estimated cost of $580 million to $646 million. The structure is intended to have as little impact on the natural setting of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway as possible. “We tried to increase the span length, so we're at 600 ft., to somewhat minimize the number of substructures in the river,” Kivisto said. “The stakeholder group selected the extradosed type of bridge, but they wanted the towers to be low enough so that it would fit within the scenic river valley. So the bluff on the Wisconsin side and the height of the towers is pretty similar. All of those things were a part of the stakeholder group's discussion.” The design is also intended to aesthetically reflect the natural features of the riverway, Kivisto said. “The slender look of the piers is what we call a reedlike shape,” he said. “It mimics some of the native grasses and plants on the sides of the rivers and lakes of Minnesota and Wisconsin.” The bridge is scheduled to open for use in late 2017.

Worth a Look

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.

“GHOST TEAM”

— When a bored, ghost-obsessed copy center owner (Jon Hader) forms a team of inept, amateur paranormal-investigators, including his jilted and depressed best friend (David Krumholtz), a comely customer (Melonie Diaz), his tech savvy nephew (Paul W. Downs), a hyped-up mall security guard (Justin Long), and a telephone/ cable psychic (Amy Sedaris), and they set out on a ghost hunting expedition in this wacky, enjoyable, unpredictable, 84-minute horror comedy, they find more than they bargained for.

“INDIGNATION” (R) (3.5) [SEXUAL CONTENT AND SOME LANGUAGE.]

— Terrific acting dominates this engaging, poignant, thought-provoking, realistic, 110-minute film based on Philip Roth’s 2008 novel in which the studious, sexually awkward, Jewish student (Logan Lerman) leaves his kosher butcher father (Danny Burstein) and unhappy mother (Linda Marie Emond) in Newark to attend a religious college in Ohio in 1951 to avoid serving in the Korean War and ends up falling in love with a free-spirited, emotionally troubled classmate (Sarah Gadon) and butting heads with the conservative dean (Tracy Letts).

WEATHER TIDBIT WEEKLY AVERAGES We’ve already surpassed our normal monthly total for XX TO XX, 2016 August, thanks to a 3-inch deluge on Wednesday and High 79° Thursday, Aug, 10-11. My monthly total now stands at 5.13” Low 61° compared to a monthly normal of 4.32”. An additional 3 %Sun 68% inches and I’ll break my station record. When we get this PCP 1.07” close I say, “Why not? Let’s set a new record.” YEAR AGO THIS WEEK August 16-23, rain fell 6 of the 7 days, producing 2.04”. High temperatures on Aug. 18-19 were only 65° and 62°.

Did you know? Humans and dogs first became best friends 30,000 years ago.

“NINE LIVES”

(PG) (2.5) [THEMATIC ELEMENTS, LANGUAGE, AND SOME RUDE HUMOR.]

— When a workaholic, wealthy, cat-detesting businessman (Kevin Spacey) is turned into a feline in New York City by an eccentric, cat-whisperer pet shop owner (Christopher Walken) who wants to teach him a life lesson about consistently neglecting his devoted wife (Jennifer Garner), his cat-loving, 11-year-old daughter (Malina Weissman), and his adult, overlooked son (Robbie Amell) with his former wife (Cheryl Hines) in this family-friendly, entertaining, funny, 87-minute comedy with a high cute quotient, an ambitious, greedy company executive (Mark Conseulos) tries to sell the firm from under him while he is in a coma.

“SUICIDE SQUAD”

(PG-13) (3) [SEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE AND ACTION THROUGHOUT, DISTURBING BEHAVIOR, SUGGESTIVE CONTENT, AND LANGUAGE.]

— A fast-paced, action-packed, entertaining, violent, star-dotted (Ben Affleck, Jared Leto, Scott Eastwood, Common, David Harbour, Isaac “Ike” Barinholtz, Ezra Matthew Miller, James McGowan, Jim Parrack, and Ted Whittall), 3D, 123-minute, sci-fi thriller based on the DC Comics in which a Pentagon official (Viola Davis) puts together an exceptionally skilled, powerful, secret team of super criminals (Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Adam Beach, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) to join an Army colonel (Joel Kinnanman) and a saber-wielding Asian widow (Karen Fukuhara) to defeat a power-hungry, immortal, ancient enchanting sorceress who has possessed the body of an archaeologist (Cara Delevingne) and her brother (Robin Atkin Downes) who are hell bent on destroying Earth.
