This year’s White Bear Lake Area Schools’ supply list (provided by the state and district) includes rubber gloves, face shields, face masks, eye goggles and protective gowns to protect students and staff from the COVID-19 respiratory virus. Students and teachers will receive two reusable masks each and custodial, health, nutrition and special education staff will wear more protective gear as needed. The district has 50,000 disposable masks on hand. White Bear Lake Area Schools plans to have a hybrid learning plan for all students this fall due to the COVID-19 virus that has been spreading through the country and state since last spring. Students did distance learning last March-June. Like all districts statewide, the district was given decision power by the state but also given guidance by the Minnesota Department of Health and Minnesota Department of Education. Districts were guided to pursue an in-person, hybrid or distance-learning model based on the number of COVID-19 cases per 10,000 county residents, over the last 14 days. In mid-July, Ramsey County had the highest case count of the three counties the district serves at 19.65 per 10,000 residents. “That puts us in that borderline for that in-person learning for elementary students and hybrid learning for secondary students, and the next category would be hybrid learning for all students,” said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak at a special school board meeting held Aug. 7. If there were 20 cases per 10,000 residents, the state would recommend a distance-only model. The school board decided students in all grades will rotate in the classroom two days a week Monday through Thursday. Board members expressed how

The FBIs most wanted roamed the streets and rented cottages in this 1930s crime resort BY MATT MCMILLAN
Before prohibition-era gangster Ma Barker died in a hail of thousands of bullets during a 1935 shootout with the FBI in Florida, she and her gang sometimes hung their Tommy Guns in White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Dellwood, Shoreview, Idylwild and Forest Lake. But why take a powder here? And, where? “White Bear’s Notorius Gangsters” program plans to put a local fi nger on the likes of Ma Barker, Baby Face Nelson and Alvin “Creepy” Karpis. The wingding is from 6 to 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 24 and hosted by the White Bear Lake Historical Society and Ramsey County Library. No need to scram on over, it is a virtual event. RSVP at: whitebearhistory.org/event/white-bearsnotorious-gangsters/ It was said gangsters laid low while they were visiting here from Chicago, Kansas City and other places because of a deal with John O’Connor, police chief of St. Paul. “Hey guys, you come to St. Paul, you give some nice donations to the police federation and we will not bother you,” was the copper’s quote according to author Bob Koblas. Koblas wrote “Ma, The Life and Times of Ma Barker and Her Boys.” However, the Barker gang didn’t stop robbing, kidnapping and bumping off those who got in their way once they arrived here from the Ozarks. The gang included Ma, four sons Herman, Lloyd, Doc and Fred, and Alvin “Creepy” Karpis among others.
Alvin “Creepy” Karpis
Baby Face Nelson
Besides robbing the Third Northwestern National Bank in Minneapolis for more than $100,000, a payroll in St. Paul, a bank in North Dakota and perhaps a bank in Cambridge, Minn., The Barker/Karpis gang kidnapped William Hamm of Hamm’s Brewing and Edward Bremer of the Commercial State Bank and whose family owned Schmidt Brewery. Those two kidnappings added another $300,000 to the nest egg. Although, loot may have been divvied up to Chicago connections. In between jobs, the gang used an alias and hid out renting cottages in-and-around White Bear Lake including Wildwood, Bald Eagle, hotel rooms at the Marsh Hotel in Forest Lake, Dick’s Inn in Mahtomedi, and reportedly ran a dance hall known as Paradise Park near Snail Lake now part of Gospel Hill Camp. The heat after the kidnappings was on. “Creepy” Karpis was made public enemy No. 1. The gang needed to blow town. Ma went to Miami, then a little north to another lake house on Lake Weir by Ocklawaha, Fla. Others went to Cuba to try to launder the kidnapping money, which was marked. Ma and Fred put on their “Chicago overcoats” (coffins) at the Lake Weir house after a four-hour shootout with the FBI. The Barker gang was just one of the names visiting this 1930s “crime resort.” Those wanting to know the inside story of hangouts such as the Plantation night club (now Lion’s Park) and gangsters the likes of Baby Face Nelson, Machine Gun Kelly, Bugs Moran and others can wise up and reserve a spot on this virtual tour. Keep the fin in your pocket. It is free. Just RSVP.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The pandemic has claimed another event. The Rotary Club has canceled its major fundraiser this year: Taste of White Bear Lake. Organizers decided the Sept. 12 food and beverage extravaganza at Pine Tree Apple Orchard could not meet current COVID-19 guidelines. For eight years, Taste has occupied a spot at the apple orchard on the second Saturday in September. The goal, explains Taste committee chair Michael Lovett, is “to celebrate the people and businesses of our community and raise funds that Rotary invests in local and international service projects.” Rotary’s passport program leading up to Taste is still valid through Labor Day. Passport books contain nearly 30 free signature items, coupons and special promotions encouraging holders to shop, eat and enjoy local businesses. Passports can still be purchased for $40 online at tasteofwhitebearlake.com. “We’re sad we couldn’t hold Taste,” said Rotarian Greg Bartz. “It’s really popular and always sells out.” But it’s not for lack of trying, he added. “We had a meeting at the orchard and tried to think of ways to meet the health guidelines. In the end, we determined nothing was going to work. Our thought is to wrap up strong with the passport program and the vendors who would be supporting us at Taste.” The club is considering holding a virtual auction in November to raise money. Bartz noted that “virtual fundraisers are in vogue right now.” Club members are already looking forward to next year’s Taste date: Sept. 11, 2021. Debra Neutkens

Mahtomedi boy wins nationals in water skiing; 3 sibs also place BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Four Mahtomedi water skiing siblings competed at nationals last week in Louisiana and one of them emerged as a national champion. Ethan Barkwell won Boys II (age 10-11) Slalom at the 78th annual GOODE Water Ski National Championships in Louisiana. His twin brother Zachary placed fourth. Ethan earned his championship score competing at 1 1/2 buoys on 35 feet of rope at 32 mph in action at Bennett’s Ski School on Tri-Lakes in Zachary, Louisiana. He had previously won state and regional championships and was ranked No. 2 prior to nationals. “Three years ago, my twin Zachary qualified for nationals and I could only dream of competing,” Ethan said. “I worked hard and trained a lot and now it has paid off. This year was my year, and next year might be his.”
Zachary also earned a place on the podium (top five). Zachary competed at five buoys on 32 feet of rope at 32 mph. In 2017, Zachary qualified for nationals. Last year, both qualified, with Zachary placing third and Ethan fifth, in Boys I. “They also play soccer, hockey, golf (and) tennis, and alpine ski,” said their mother, Tracy Rupke. “They love being active and they definitely push each other. They have a great equipment manager — aka stayat-home dad — who has enabled them to achieve so much.” She referred to husband Dave Barkwell. The twins will be fifth graders at O.H. Anderson Elementary this fall. Their performances at nationals can be viewed at Youtu.be/yC6WnuEZFw. Their sisters also placed high. Taylor Barkwell placed 10th in Girls III (age 1213). Nikola Barkwell placed 11th in Girls IV (age 14-15). Another Mahtomedi girl, Hailey Wolgamot, placed sixth in Girls III.

Community Wide Sale
T
he Manitou Days Progressive Community Wide Garage Sale is a go. The sale starts at Community of Grace Lutheran Church of White Bear Lake, located at 4000 Linden Street. Arrive right at 8 a.m. to pick up a map of the participating sales around the communities. The sales are August 21 and 22, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. As with all events, participants should practice social distancing and wear a mask. Now is a good time to get out and find some treasures. Many thanks to the volunteers who are making this event possible. Electric assist bikes Henry Ford changed America with his affordable automobile and the assembly line. The car allowed families to see parts of the country Publisher’s previously untouchable by horse and buggy or train. Today the electric View bicycle is making 30-40 mile bike rides Carter Johnson possible for novice cyclists. Unlike a traditional bike, electric bikes kick in to assist the rider with each peddle. The motor is often located inside the hub of the wheel and a battery pack is the size of a loaf of french bread. Most bikes have a 250-600 watt motor and can assist a rider with 1-5 levels of power. I have recently been exposed to the e-bike phenomenon and I see why it’s catching on. I’ve now been a couple rides with friends who loaned me a bike. Our first time out was about 28 mile ride in just a few hours. Normally I couldn’t do a 10 mile ride, as I don’t ride often. I never imagined making a long trek like that without significant stress and devastating effects to my physical state. Cycling on an electric bike seems like a good option for people who enjoy biking but aren’t in as great shape as they used to be, have an injury or medical condition, or those motivated by a destination and want to get to it quickly. The electric assist made the ride a treat. It was enough of a workout but I never felt I might not make it. The electric bike allowed us to explore steeper, rougher terrain with confidence. Each way on the ride my legs became fatigued but with the help of the motor I was still able to keep up with my biking partner. I’ve been able to try a couple of different electric bikes, ranging from a thousand dollar fat tire bike with a 500 watt motor to a $3,000 high performance belt-driven fat tire bike with higher cruising speeds. Aside from the paint, weight and name brand equipment, both bikes made for an enjoyable ride. What I’ve noticed from my recent biking experiences is that trail congestion is real. The pandemic has increased traffic on trails throughout the northeast metro. Last week on the Browns Creek Trail we witnessed multiple groups walking three wide and others biking two wide, creating a dangerous situation. Trails need to be shared, and communication needs to happen. Bikers approaching walkers or slower bikers need to call out which side they are passing, and walkers and joggers need to be listening and allow others to pass. We experienced being passed by professional cyclists and appreciated the call out as they passed. Today more than ever, we all need to be courteous of the rules of the road while walking and biking on local trails. Electric bikers need to also adhere to the rules and slow for traffic. No one should get hurt while out enjoying these trails, and trail rage should not exist. This fall when you’re out on the trails, remember to follow the rules. If you’re not sure, a few basic ones should be obeying all signs, using hand signals, watching speed around others, keeping music low enough to hear others trying to approach, and always wearing a helmet. Check out a bike safety YouTube videos or an online cycle safety course. It might be time for bikers to complete a course like boaters safety or hunters safety.

Looking at the world through milk-colored glasses
T
his time last year I was trying to figure out how to run a dairy plant. I was up to my neck in “all things dairy.” Running a dairy plant is no easy feat. Today, I am a mechanical engineer, sanitarian, lab technician, chemical expert, scientist, culinary steam expert, cheesemaker, manager, and allaround troubleshooter. And that is only after the milk has left the cow. Recently, I hired someone who I thought was a perfect fit for our team of amazing employees. They quit after day two. Wild They were highly Chow educated, strong, and previously Lisa Erickson worked as a marketing brand h rep ffor a llarge cheese company. They were excited about working in “dairy” and actually “doing” the process. I’m disappointed they quit, but I understand it’s not for everyone. It’s a lot of plain old hard physical work—really hard work. Every day is a little different at the plant, but some things remain the same; heavy lifting, long hours, and getting wet with either
milk or water. People are shocked at the amount of work required to produce a glass of milk or a 1lb of cheese. To produce one pound of cheese it takes 10 pounds of milk that have been pasteurized, cultured, coagulated, cut, cooked, milled, salted, pressed, and aged for months or years. Long after you’ve spent oodles of money on processing, you’ll see some return on your investment—that’s if it turns out as you planned. My appreciation for dairy farmers and people in the dairy industry is somewhere in the superstar category. They truly are the hardest working people I know. The next time you take a bite of cheese or dunk a warm chocolate chip cookie in a glass of milk, marvel at the little miracle you’re holding in your hand. I love this recipe. It combines my favorite foods; veggies and all things dairy. It’s heavenly. Dairy Good Spinach and Artichoke Casserole One large bag of baby spinach 1 small red onion, chopped 1 tbsp. butter 8 oz cream cheese 1 cup sour cream ½ cup half & half ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for the top 3 cloves of garlic, minced Pepper to taste
2 cans of artichoke hearts, chopped 1 tbsp. fresh dill, chopped and stem removed ½ tsp. seasoned salt 12 Ritz or Keeble Club crackers, crushed Preheat oven to 350°. Over high heat, place half of the spinach in a large saucepan add ½ cup of water. Bring to a boil and cover; steam until wilted; about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining spinach; set aside (don’t forget to add more water to the second batch). Drain the water and reduce heat to medium. Add the butter and onion; cook until tender; add the cream cheese, sour cream, half & half, parmesan cheese, garlic, pepper, and seasoned salt. Stirring constantly until the cream cheese is melted. Add the spinach, artichokes and dill; fold in. Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish or a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with crackers and more grated parmesan cheese to taste. Bake for 30 minutes until mixture is bubbling and top is golden brown. Serve immediately. Lisa Erickson is a food columnist who loves adventure and food.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Wrong to go back to school
On Aug. 7, the White Bear Lake Area School Board voted for a return to schools under a hybrid model. Students will attend school two times a week, in two cohorts. When I heard of this, I immediately became concerned not just for the health of the teachers I've built relationships with the last 13 years, but also for my mother — who is a teacher. By creating a hybrid model this year, the school board has told us that test scores and politics are more important than human lives. After 13 years at White Bear Lake Area Schools, I've met countless numbers of selfless, dedicated, caring teachers who have changed my life, as well as the lives of many of my peers. I know how seriously they take their jobs, but asking them to risk their lives is nothing but reckless and short-sighted. Just in the last three weeks, over 97,000 children have tested positive for the coronavirus. Scientists are not sure of the long-term health repercussions, asymptomatic or not. Furthermore, public health experts have warned of an impending second wave this fall. In states that have reopened already, case counts have surged amongst students and teachers. As of Aug. 11, researchers have discovered that aerosol droplets can travel up to 16 feet and stay suspended for hours. In order for the lives of students and teachers to be secured, the hybrid plan would have to be executed and sustained flawlessly for weeks on end. After watching the Aug. 10 school board meeting, it is clear that many basic questions remain unanswered. This plan is wrong. It is dangerous, reckless, irresponsible and not acceptable for Bears. We're better than this. We deserve better than this. Are we going to let the school board gamble with the lives of 9,000 children and their educators? I'm asking community members to say no. Say no to hybrid. Say no to in-person classes. Say no to COVID. Please contact White Bear Lake Area Schools: 651-407-7500. Let them know they are wrong and demand they change their decision.

Boulevard not a truck route
We live on Bald Eagle Boulevard and for years we have watched the road deteriorate while being used as an unofficial truck route between White Bear Lake and Hugo. Now, thankfully the road is being redone which, while expensive, disruptive and time consuming, will be most appreciated! That being said, we think it is now time to tell the abusers of this road (Budweiser, Coke, Menards, Sysco, etc.) that this is NOT a truck route and that they need to redirect their delivery drivers to I-35E or Hwy 61 when headed to or from Hugo ... Bald Eagle Boulevard is NOT a thoroughfare but, rather, a residential street. We do not want to see all this hard work and effort be for naught! Todd Knipping White Bear Township

A clarification
I was as surprised as every other reader was when the full-page ad asking me to run for president came out in the White Bear Press July 29. I was not aware of it beforehand and had nothing to do with its printing. Louis Asher’s Aug. 12 letter about the lawsuit I filed against the author of “American Sniper” is full of half-truths. The so-called barroom incident I was accused of never happened. I offered to forgo court if the author agreed to publicly tell the truth—that the incident was fabricated—so we could go our separate ways. He refused, leaving me no other recourse but to file a libel lawsuit. Unfortunately, he died before we got to courtroom, after which the litigation shifted to his wife. She was never in danger of losing any money, as everything was paid for by the insurance company of the book publisher, Harper Collins. I ended up winning the trial. Imagine how overwhelming the evidence must have been for the jury to side with me against the dead war hero, his widow and six of his friends who testified and could not admit under oath that they saw the supposed event occurred. I did what any other American would have done to clear their name. Former Governor Jesse Ventura Dellwood

The five lesson plans take learners from the start of the Mississippi River down to the Gulf of Mexico, and off to other parts of the world. During the journey, students learn about the global water crisis and are encouraged to take action locally and globally. “The lessons in Water Guardians include a combination of online exercises, worksheets and animated videos narrated by Nia, an energetic and motivational young water advocate,” said Water Guardians Program Manager Laura Skubic. “H2O for Life is excited to be able to offer this program during this unprecedented time when teachers are looking for fresh online content that motivates kids to learn and take action.” H2O for Life provides a service-learning opportunity that helps teachers and students raise awareness about the global water crisis. Since 2007, nearly 1 million students from H2O for Life schools around the U.S. have supported water, sanitation and hygiene education projects for partner schools in the developing world. For more information, contact h2Oforlifeschools.org.
Free masks available from Ramsey County
Ramsey County has launched a new initiative, “A Mask for Everyone,” to slow the spread of COVID-19. The program will prioritize distributing cloth masks to racially, ethnically and culturally diverse communities. Ramsey County residents in need of a mask can request one at ramseycounty.us/amaskforeveryone. Each recipient will receive a homemade cloth mask, information on the importance of wearing a mask and instructions on proper care and use of homemade masks. Masks will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and are expected to be ready for pickup in late August. Community members can also donate new and unused masks to help the county fulfill as many requests as possible. Donations can be mailed to ATTN: RECERT Mask Donation, 90 Plato Boulevard, Suite 200, St. Paul, MN 55107. Collection boxes are also available at various locations. For the full list, visit ramseycounty.us/amaskforeveryone.

YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities now YMCA of the North

According to a press release, the organization sought a name that was more inclusive of all the communities it serves. “The name YMCA of the North stretches beyond the limits of geography and captures an ideal state — a true north,” said Glen Gunderson, president and CEO. “Our mission continues to grow through people, programs and places served — and now more than ever, our community response efforts are working to serve our neighbors when they need us most.” The YMCA is in the process of making the name change in the organization’s branding, communications and marketing. The website URL has likewise changed from ymcamn. org to ymcanorth.org.

Reckless driver sought
According to a crime alert in the Birchwood city newsletter, last Thursday evening a black Ford pickup truck with an extended cab and a wide silver band across the tailgate was traveling west on Birchwood Road from Mahtomedi at a high rate of speed and narrowly missed bicyclists and walkers. The truck plowed into a retaining wall at 704 Hall Avenue and then fled. The impact caused a ball cap to fly out of the vehicle, and it is believed the truck may have front-end damage, a broken right sideview mirror and possible deployment of air bags. Anyone having information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Washington County Sheriff's office.
Extra DWI enforcement through Labor Day
To remind the public about the importance of driving sober, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety is conducting extra DWI enforcement efforts through Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7. An impaired driver not only puts their life at risk but also the lives of their passengers and other innocent people on the road. Preliminary numbers show 89 people lost their lives in drunk driving-related crashes in 2019, the most since 2015. Nearly one out of every four deaths on Minnesota roads is related to drunk driving. In the last five years, preliminary numbers show there were 413 drunk driving-related traffic deaths in Minnesota.

Plantation Night Club, ca. 1930 The Plantation Night Club was once located on the land that is now Lion’s Park on the shore of White Bear Lake. At the height of Prohibition in 1925 the Ramaley Boat Works, which had occupied the site, closed its shop and transitioned the building into a dance hall. The concept was so successful, the boat works building was razed to make way for a new structure designed to be a true dance hall that would come to be called the Plantation. By the early 1930s the venue was a well-known hangout for bootleggers and other criminals who made their way from St. Paul out to the lakes to lay low between jobs. The night club closed at the end of the 1933 season as repeal was imminent and the building was adapted for other purposes.

OBITUARY NOTICES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5)
Sandra Kaye Ellington Williams October 18, 1941 – July 10, 2020 During the early morning hours of July 10, 2020, Sandra Kaye Ellington Williams died in her sister’s home in White Bear Lake, Minnesota from complications of Parkinson’s disease. She had shown great courage, patience, frustration, tenacity, and even wit in dealing with her symptoms. Sandra was born in Odessa, Texas October 18, 1941, the third child of Dorothy Landrum Ellington and Alvin William (Sam) Ellington. She grew up in San Angelo, Texas graduating from San Angelo Central High School in 1960 where she was head cheerleader and a class favorite. Sandra attended Texas Christian University, and graduated from the University of Texas, Austin, with a BA in Political Science. Sandra was a member of Chi Omega Sorority. She later received a Masters of Education from the University of California, San Francisco. She taught in the public schools of Houston and San Francisco. After moving to Dallas, she owned and operated a showroom at the World Trade Center for several years. Sandra loved her profession, teaching. She loved her students. Most of all she loved life, friends and family. Family meant everything to her. In her final days, she stated that she did not want to die because she did not want to leave family and friends. Sandra also loved classical music, B. B. King, art, theatre, and the silver screen. She was an avid reader of history, politics, and poetry. She marched for the Equal Rights Amendment. She often expressed her concern for emigrants at our
southern border, especially the children. Sandra was a devout Episcopalian and belonged to an Episcopal church wherever she lived including Emmanuel in San Angelo, Saint Martins in Houston, and more recently, Saint John in the Wilderness in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Sandra is survived by her three siblings, Janet Ellington Comer, Alvin W. Ellington, MD and his wife Julieta, and Mike Ellington and his wife Mary. Additionally, several cousins, nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews. Our thanks go out to all her friends, extended family members, and everyone who ever offered her a hand when she needed it. A memorial service is planned for a future date. Please consider a memorial to Sandra’s favorite charity, “Doctors without Borders” doctorswithoutborders.org or a charity of your own choosing. Visit Legacy.com to connect your stories with Sandra’s life. Sandra’s final act of teaching all of us was to bequest her body to the University of Minnesota Medical School for research.
Myron R. Johnson Myron R. Johnson, 82, of Naples, FL, formerly of White Bear Lake, MN passed July 28th to his eternal home in heaven. He was born in Fergus Falls, MN to Ralph and Evelyn Johnson. As a teenager he began his long life as a volunteer as the student manager for various sports team at Fergus Falls High School for four years. Myron was very involved at First English Lutheran Church where he sang in the choir and was president of the Luther League. Myron attended Concordia College (Moorhead, MN) where he received a bachelor’s degree while studying psychology and sociology. Later he went on to further his education at the University of Minnesota as a sociology graduate student. While at Concordia he met his best friend and loving wife of 59 years, Norma. They were married in 1961 and later were blessed with two boys Tyler and Brent. Later, Myron dearly loved being “Papa” to four adoring grandchildren. Family was the center of his life. He enjoyed a 40-year career with the Minnesota Department of Corrections as a probation and parole officer and supervisor until he retired in 2000. Myron’s passion and lifework was helping others. He successfully encouraged offenders to have a positive life change with the help of God. With this focus, he excelled in his career of helping others and he was awarded Probation Officer of the Year in 1987 by the Corrections Department of Washington County in Minnesota. His philosophy in life was God first, family second, others and himself last. He embraced this philosophy closely in his personal life and in his career. In retirement he and Norma enjoyed time in White Bear Lake, MN and Naples, FL. Throughout his life Myron had to overcome physical health challenges including polio and cancer. He moved forward in faith and positivity to serve others despite his disabilities. Myron was always the first to volunteer. He spent several years volunteering at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi MN, where he received the Andrew Award from the Men’s Ministry. Members of the church could always find him driving the shuttle bus for the community and outreach program, as the friendly head of security, or welcoming others as a part-time receptionist. After moving to Naples Myron began volunteering at the Naples Chamber of Commerce as a greeter, where he
received the Volunteer of the Year Award, and also spent time volunteering at the Naples Depot Museum. He was highly regarded for his years serving as the president and secretary of the Everglades Club Condominium Association. He was also secretary of the Village Green Association in Naples. Myron also volunteered at St. Matthew’s House as a case worker where he touched the lives of many. He was a cherished member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Naples, always willing to lend a helping hand as one of God’s disciples. He was a Stephen Minister, member of the church choir, and served on a committee to develop a new mission church, Emmanuel Park Community. Myron recently initiated a security program for Emmanuel Lutheran Church. He also served the church, spending several hours every week assisting the secretary with day-to-day tasks. Myron was recently recognized in the Old Naples Living Magazine as a volunteer and friend to all in Naples. Many knew his friendly face riding around Naples on his blue scooter with his hat on, waving to all his neighbors, having morning coffee with his buddies on the Naples Dock, or checking on the members of Village Green, where he was often referred to as the “Mayor”. Always on his mind was, “How can I be a blessing to someone today, to make a difference?” He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and community. He is survived by his loving wife, Norma, his two children, Tyler (Gretchen) and Brent, his grandchildren Nicole(Mike), Morgan, Derek, and Garrett, his two sisters, Ann Arnold of Beaverton, OR, and Jean Johnson of Nashville, TN, and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents. A celebration of life will be held at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Naples on September 19th, 2020 at 10:00am. All are welcome to attend in their cars and may take part through radio frequency FM 99.7. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to Emmanuel Lutheran Church 777 Mooring Line Drive, Naples FL 34102.

Christiaan Hendrkus Neutkens
Christiaan Hendrkus Neutkens, 95, of Mahtomedi, passed peacefully Aug. 9 from kidney failure. Born in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, Chris grew up in a musical, self-sufficient family of 14 children. He served in the Dutch army as a fighter plane mechanic during World War II, living in England for much of his active duty and honing his English speaking skills. He married a Dutch girl from Losser after the war and like many post-war immigrants, set his sights on North America, moving his wife and two young sons first to Edmonton, Canada, and then to Minnesota. Chris spent most of his working career as a mechanical engineer for Pillsbury, inventing machines that deposited pepperoni on pizza and icing on Toaster Strudel. He loved to tinker in his garage and could fix most anything, which he often did as opposed to throwing it away. His Wisconsin cabin was his favorite place on earth and will forever be a reminder to his offspring that opa is the one to thank for the home away from home on Lake DesMoines. Survived by devoted wife of 68 years, Annie; four children, Paul (Debra); Chris (Pamela); Terry (Linda) and Rita (Mark) Walstrom; nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; and relatives both here and in The Netherlands. Preceded by his parents, Willium and Cornelia Neutkens, and eight siblings. Rest in peace opa. Hopefully there's polka music playing in heaven. We will miss your quirky sense of humor, your soft-spoken demeanor and smiling blue eyes. And those skinny white legs under your swimming suit. A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial was held Aug. 14 at St. Jude of the Lake Catholic Church. Inurnment to follow at a later date.

Coronavirus causes spike in building permits ... or not BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Many of us bumped elbows with crowds inside big box home improvement stores early in the pandemic shutdown, or later, in the local mom and pop hardware store. We guess that the other shoppers we're trying in vain to stay 6 feet away from are there for the same purpose we are. We're using this time during which we can't do much else to make sure the structure of our home is sound for upcoming seasons or to make the nest we are spending a whole lot more time in more luxurious. The variety of projects is endless. We could be taking out the old wood stove from 1978 and replacing it with an electric fireplace, or digging trenches here to drain roof runoff away from the driveway so it doesn't become icy next winter; digging another trench there to drain rising pond water out of our garden; having the furnace and air conditioner checked out; installing an aboveground pool in the front yard to entertain our confined children and installing a putt-putt golf course in the back yard to entertain ourselves. As a rule, homeowners generally take care of DIY projects, such as weatherizing the cedar siding, during months that it is mild enough to be outside. Those who formerly might have taken a week off work to paint the house won't need to use personal time off this year to get that job done — if, indeed, they still have a job. Here is an FYI about DYI: Not all home projects brought on by COVID-19 restlessness require a building permit, although those requiring a “ringer” usually do. Professional contractors risk losing their licenses if they fail to apply for a permit. Homeowners jumping in over their heads risk having to summon contractors in to fix what that homeowner shouldn't have tried to fix in the first place. Electricians rushing in to reroute dangerous wiring and plumbers called to stop the Old Faithful created by the amateur plumber will all have to take out a building permit eventually. Not all projects were born out of COVID-19 inertia, either. For example, relentless rains in the Mahtomedi
area have brought household ponds in this basin city to all-time levels as homeowners scurry to the home improvement stores for an emergency basement sump pump. Building permit data can, however, lend some insight to all this activity taking place in White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi and Vadnais Heights. Vadnais Heights Building Official Phil Marvets and Building Permit Clerk Diane Albrecht provided permit data from Vadnais Heights, and White Bear Lake Building Official Benjamin Eggan and Building Permit Clerk Julie Silverberg provided data from White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi. After speculating about whether all the building activity we see is or isn't caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of building permits in most categories in the White Bear Lake area do show a marked increase in activity in 2020 compared with 2019. During the three-month period of spring 2020, White Bear Lake residents took out 724 permits, an increase over the same period in 2019 of 36% (191 permits). White Bear Lake commercial building permits, however decreased by 16 to 101, or by approximately 14%. Mahtomedi residents sought 229 permits this spring, compared with 165 one year ago. This is an increase of almost 39%. Commercial permits in Mahtomedi saw an historic increase — 400% (from 3 to 12). As most retail enterprises in Mahtomedi were in a bad way due to the shutdown, only one of those, Kowalski's, applied for a building permit. The other 11 permits came from two cell towers, Century College, the East Shore Apartments, Evergreen Cemetery, Presbyterian Homes and St. Andrew's Lutheran Church. In both cities, residential projects hammered commercial projects in the numbers game. And what is everybody up to in residential projects? The most popular home improvement projects registered in Mahtomedi building permit applications are in descending order: roofing and plumbing fixtures; general remodeling; heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC); and new windows, fences and fireplaces. In White Bear Lake, project popularity in descending order starts with roofing followed by electrical

work, HVAC, windows, fencing and water heater installation. In the animal husbandry department, seven hen and pigeon permits were taken out in White Bear Lake in 2020, compared with one bee permit in 2019. Everyone sorts their data in different ways, and the same is true with municipalities. The city of Vadnais Heights has an additional category that keeps track of dollar amounts. For the period from March 1 through June 30, 2020, Vadnais Heights issued a total of 242 permits for commercial and residential projects that totaled $10.6 million in valuation. These 242 permits brought $124,382 in revenue to the city. Broken down, Vadnais Heights' 107 building permits totaled $9.4 million in valuation; 83 HVAC permits totaled $955,313; 45 plumbing permits totaled $143,183 and nine fire suppression projects totaled $39,575 in valuation. Permits falling under the building category include decks, doors, remodeling, windows, finished basements, drain tiles, garages, pools, porches, siding, roofing, solar panels and other miscellaneous projects. As in the White Bear Lake area, residential building permits in Vadnais Heights far outnumbered commercial building permits 95 to 10. In valuation, however, commercial building permits outvalued residential permits by $7.9 million to $1.5 million. It should be noted that a single commercial project — the full-sized soccer field constructed as part of the Vadnais Sports Center on County Road E — inflated the figures by a cost of $7.1 million. The most expensive residential building project was a $200,000 fire restoration. After eliminating the Sports Center project from the equation, commercial building projects in Vadnais Heights averaged approximately $82,363 per project, while residential building permits averaged approximately $16,000 per project. In other words, you could say that when it comes to building projects, residents had the time and commercial enterprises had the money.

BACK TO SCHOOL: In-person learning a balancing act FROM PAGE 1
difficult the decision was. “This has been a very, very trying time,” said Vice Chair Kim Chapman. “I think there are tremendous issues on each side of this and a tremendous amount of valid points,” he said. One school board member, Jessica Ellison, voted against the decision. She stated she is concerned about families that need their children in school for their livelihood, as herself, but said teachers and staff are concerned about the hybrid model. She said it would be better to start a distance-learning model rather than hybrid because if case numbers increase in the county, then a distance-learning model would need to be employed. Having some students doing virtual education from home each and some in the classroom will reduce classroom sizes enough to social distance, said Alison Gillespie, assistant superintendent for teaching and learning. All students will do independent distance learning from home on Fridays.
All families can choose only distance learning if desired. An August family survey shows about 20 percent of families so far plan to choose distance learning. The district will have new cleaning protocols. Hightouch areas will be cleaned through the day and every evening a deep cleaning will be done, said Tim Wald, assistant superintendent for finance and operations. Hand sanitizer and wipes will be available throughout the building. New air filters will be installed, and exhaust fans will run 24/7. “The balancing act between our public safety needs and our need to educate our children is really the balancing act we are trying to work with here, and it is very challenging of course,” Wald noted. “It is an evolving situation and we continue to follow the science.” Buses will run at 50 percent capacity but parents are encouraged to drop off their students. Students will not be universally screened for symptoms at school; however, parents are encouraged to screen their children prior to arrival. There will be kits at schools to screen
YOU SHOULD KNOW: Students or staff experiencing these symptoms should not attend school: • New onset of cough • Shortness of breath • Fever of 100.0 degrees F or higher • Chills • Muscle pain • Sore throat • Loss of sense of smell or taste • Gastrointestinal symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting or nausea students who appear symptomatic and a place to seclude them for the day. A June survey about the issue by White Bear Lake Area Schools had about 6,000 respondents. In-person learning was preferred by about 65 percent of respondents. About 22 percent preferred a hybrid model and 13 percent. If in-person learning was not an option, 77 percent preferred a hybrid model.
Private schools opt for kids in classrooms BY BRUCE STRAND CONTRIBUTING WRITER
When Frassati Catholic Academy students return to school, they will be greeted by signage throughout the building. Signs will show the kids how to navigate their day. They will direct traffic, explain hygiene care and list ways to protect themselves and others. But those signs mean the K-8 students in the White Bear Lake parochial school will definitely be in the building — as is the case with other local private schools. “Distance learning is sometimes necessary, but it can never replace the positive interactions between our teachers and our students,” said Principal Patrick Gallivan. “We are excited to be back together at Frassati and kick off the school year in our building on Tuesday, Sept. 8.” Gallivan worked with “faculty and staff, multiple committees, many other Catholic School principals, archdiocesan leaders and our bishops to develop plans so we can reopen school safely,” said Communications Director Kate Franssen-Hansen in a press release. In addition, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis established a task force of experts in education finance, communication, law, public and mental health for this purpose, she reported. Most public schools will start with
either a hybrid model — distance learning at home combined with in-person learning in the classroom — and some, like all Minneapolis schools, will start with everyone at home learning remotely. But private schools report that they’ve worked diligently since last spring, when students in all schools had to stay home at the onset of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, to figure out how they can safely bring their students back to their classrooms. That includes St. Jude of the Lake, an elementary school in Mahtomedi, and K-12 Liberty Classical Academy in White Bear Lake. It helps that most private schools have smaller enrollments to manage. “Our students will be back full time on Sept. 8,” said Carrie Hackman, St. Jude principal. Asked how they arrived at that decision, she said, “Oh, gosh, months and months of planning. Working together as an archdiocese, with advisors and consultants. We are under the umbrella of the archdiocese.” St. Jude will see how it goes. “Hopefully, it will be a good year,” said Hackman. “We are not sure what the right answer is, but we have been putting the right protocols in place, and we’ve been praying. And if not, we’ll go to distance learning.” Liberty Classical Academy will start Aug. 31 with “in-person learning five
1,500 questions about classrooms opening BY SARA MARIE MOORE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Teachers say they have about “1,500 questions” for district administration and the school board regarding students being in the classroom a couple days a week this fall. Tiffany Dittrich, president of the White Bear Lake Teachers Association, reported on the questions she received at the Aug. 10 school board meeting. The association had recommended distance learning only this fall, but the board voted on a hybrid model at a special school board meeting held Aug. 7. The association expressed concern about the capacity of facilities to meet strict safety requirements. Dittrich said 260 teachers sent her 1,500 questions over the weekend about the district’s capacity to safely bring students back into the classroom. She gave a curated list of 100 questions, seven pages long, to the district. There was not time to share the questions during the public forum portion of the meeting, when the board takes public comments. She said she hopes the district can address the questions before the start of the school year to assure safety, consistency and quality. A custodian, Brian Reibe, also gave his own comments about concerns with school buildings reopening. He said the extra cleaning, if done according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, could make for 13-hour days. He also said he thought it would be difficult for teachers to enforce students to wear masks and social distance. Karin Hogen, White Bear Lake Teachers Association government relations chair, said after the meeting that the association plans to hold a rally at the district center during the board’s next work study meeting Aug. 24. “We are planning this rally because we feel that our questions surrounding the three areas mentioned above are not being answered,” she said. She said she is hopeful the rally will not have to occur if questions are answered. The rally would include social distancing and masks, she added.
days a week,” reports Samantha Hegseth, director of communications. “At this time, we will not have a separate distance-learning program for our families, but we will provide distance-learning resources for students who are absent from the classroom due to quarantines, etc. during the school year for COVID-related reasons.” They also have the technological capability to transition to online learning if necessary, she said. Frassati Catholic Academy’s safety measures will include age-appropriate masks for students, teachers and staff in the building; temperature checks; small classes and age-appropriate classroom arrangements; teachers transitioning rooms versus moving the whole class; multiple sanitation stations; safe disinfectant for use throughout the school day; and UV lights used in the HVAC system, similar to those in hospitals and restaurants. A COVID-9 Preparedness Plan has been completed and will be made available to families soon. “Any member of our community who displays symptoms will be isolated and sent home until they are cleared to return to campus,” Frassati’s press release stated. At Liberty Classical Academy, a long list of COVID-related policies has been posted on its website. For example, teachers will be required
to clean counters, common surfaces, tables, desks and chairs at the end of each day. Staff will be trained on new sanitization requirements for students, proper hand-washing technique and effective daily cleaning measures. Posters and banners will be prominently displayed to remind all individuals in the building about safety measures. Everyone will be required to use hand sanitizers placed at the entrance of each classroom as they enter and as they leave. Multiple times each day, the school nurse on site will wipe down high-touch areas like door handles and entry points, and common use areas like the teachers’ lounge and the gymnasium. Everyone will wear masks (unless alone) in hallways, bathrooms, common spaces and large-group gatherings. Exceptions will be made for those medically exempt, and for preschool and kindergarten. Social distancing policy will revolve around having students in cohorts (groups who regularly socialize together) in classrooms and the cafeteria, 6 feet apart. Students in grades 1-5 will eat lunch in their classrooms at the start of the year. As for the primary concern: “We are trusting that our families/staff are checking regularly themselves and their children for COVID-19 symptoms and will stay home when COVID-symptoms are displayed.”
East metro communities support Rush Line design ST. PAUL — The design of the Rush Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project is now approximately 15% complete, and the Saint Paul City Council voted unanimously this month to support the project’s 15% design plans. The City of Saint Paul’s vote follows resolutions of support by the city councils of White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights and Maplewood earlier this year. Rush Line BRT will serve a diverse, 15-mile corridor between Saint Paul and White Bear Lake. Among its many connections, Rush Line BRT will provide access to 50 medical clinics and hospitals along its route, including Regions Hospital, Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare and St. John’s Hospital. The project is anticipated to transition from Ramsey County to the Metropolitan Council in 2021 with construction slated to start in 2024 and service projected to begin in 2026. “We appreciate our project partners along the Rush Line BRT route working with us on this important project in the East Metro,” said Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt, chair of the Rush Line Corridor Task Force, and a White Bear resident. “Building a stronger, more equitable and resilient economy — as we continue to mitigate
the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic — will require a transportation system that safely and smartly connects people to jobs and vital services. Rush Line BRT will be a critical part of keeping our region strong.” Over the next few years, the input of residents, businesses and other community members along the BRT route will be needed as the design advances to prepare the project for construction. One key component of the project's design is the 21 BRT stations between downtown Saint Paul and downtown White Bear Lake. “Feedback from residents and businesses along the Rush Line BRT route has shaped this project and will continue to do so in the years to come,” said White Bear Lake Mayor Jo Emerson, chair of the Rush Line Policy Advisory Committee. “We are committed to providing high-quality transit that brings communities together and reduces inequities in access to opportunities. With all-day service in both directions, every 10 minutes during rush hours and every 15 minutes throughout the day, Rush Line BRT will help all our communities thrive.” Press release

Part-time jobs, particularly in the summer, have long been a rite of passage for teenagers. These days, however, fewer and fewer of them are spending their vacations working. Though youth employment rates saw a modest improvement in recent years, any gains they might have seen this summer have since been dashed by COVID-19. Twenty years ago, about half of American teenagers held jobs, according to the Pew Research Center. But in the decade following the 2008 fi nancial crash, when low-skilled, entry-level jobs were suddenly few and far between, that figure hovered around 25%. In recent years, summer teen employment has been on a slow but steady incline, from 27.2% in 2014 to 30.8% in 2019, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This summer, that figure was projected to hit nearly 33%, the highest level since before the Great Recession. But then COVID-19 struck, and many places that traditionally
hire teenagers for the summer—like pools, movie theaters, clothing retailers and camps—shut down. The COVID-19 pandemic and economic shutdown have made for a tough summer job market for teens. Only about 23% of those ages 16-19 are spending the summer working, a historic low. That national trend rings true in local teens' experiences, too. Seventeen-year-old Gina Whitebird, who attends White Bear Lake Area High School – South Campus, said that she is among the only one of her friends currently working. One day each week, Whitebird delivers newspapers for Press Publications. She applied for thejob in February as an independent contractor before COVID-19 cases were widespread throughout Minnesota, but her fi rst day wasn't scheduled until mid-March. “I wasn't going to be able to deliver for a while, just because I was going to be on spring break. Then once spring break was over for me, quarantine started,” she said. “Thankfully, I found out that I was considered an essential worker, so I was able to actually start.”
Because dropping off papers in outdoor newspaper boxes does not involve much face-to-face interaction, Whitebird is not required to wear a mask while on the job. However, she said that she has been choosing to wear one anyway as an extra precaution. “I feel a little bit better about it, especially because I sometimes pass people out running or walking their dogs,” she explained. “It just makes me feel like I'm being safer, and I'm trying to be as safe as possible.” Because her current work with Press Publications is only for a few hours one day a week, Whitebird is currently searching for another job to supplement her income, though she has not yet had much luck. Finding an opening amid the pandemic is hard enough, never mind the typical trouble of securing an interview. “Most places I've ever gone to asking, they're always like, 'Oh, yeah, sure. We're hiring,' and then they'll give me a slip or a website or something, and I'll go and fi ll it out,” she said. “But then with most of them, I don't ever get called back. I usually have to call them myself. But most of them still don't end
up taking me, eventually.” Whitebird said that she is not picky when it comes to employment. She worked at a grocery store for about a month and is not interested in working at another one, but other than that, she just wants to fi nd a job. “I went to a gas station yesterday and applied, and I'm going to apply to Walgreen's and a few clothing stores,” she said. “I'm kind of just looking for anything, honestly.” Whitebird added that come September, she hopes that she can return to Pine Tree Apple Orchard. “That's a job I've had every single fall for the past three years. It's made me some pretty good money, but I also especially appreciate it because I felt like I was valued there,” she said. “Every year, I kept moving up and having more responsibilities.” But as with many things throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, in the meantime, she will have to wait and see.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — After a three-year process, the City Council approved fi nal revisions to the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The plan guides land use in the city and addresses changes likely to occur due to social and market forces. The Aug. 12 approval authorizes the plan to be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review. The Met Council requires all cities in the seven-county area to have such a plan. State law requires it be updated every 10 years. Community Development Director Anne Kane reminded council that the plan identifies "opportunity sites" suitable for growth and redevelopment in the city. Over the next 20 years, she said, an additional 1,500 residents and 1,200 households are expected in the city per Met Council projections. Land use will change from less intensive to more intensive during the next decades, which will involve reguiding of property. Kane noted that the property at County Road E and Linden was reguided, for example, to allow high-density apartment buildings. Kane also said the multifamily housing proposal for the Rockpoint Church property at E and Rolling View Drive was formally withdrawn two
weeks ago by the applicant. "The developer was unable to reach an agreement with the landowner on subsequent purchase agreement and contract extension," she said. Level Up Academy currently leases the church property. Councilman Kevin Edberg pointed out that the density and height of the developer's proposal was not something currently found in that neighborhood, which is in his ward. "Nothing in the 2040 plan supports that (type of proposal) right?" he asked Kane. "That is correct," she replied. "The draft continues a public/semipublic designation on the northern parcel with a low-density, or single-family property slated on the southern piece. Both are owned by the church. Kane added that developers have the right to seek an amendment to the Comp Plan. About 37% of the city is single-family residential, according to Kane, and 8% is multifamily. A draft of the 2040 Comp Plan can be found on the city's website: www.whitebearlake.org. Go to community development. The following requests were also approved: • A $25,000 donation from the White Bear Lake Lions Club for the All Abilities Park. To date, the club has made three $25,000 donations to-
taling $75,000 for the park, which will be located near the existing playground at Lakewood Hills. Money comes from gambling proceeds. The estimated cost is $200,000. "We can be proud we'll have this park in White Bear Lake," noted Mayor Jo Emerson, who thanked the Lions for the donation. • A request from Birch Lake Animal Hospital to expand its parking lot. • A request for a 2-foot variance from the 4-foot height limit for a fence in the front yard of 1943 Oak Knoll Drive. Residents Warren and Amanda Peyton want to build a 6-foot fence along the north property line. • A request to convert six apartments into 12 apartments at Lakewood Place Apartments, 3100 Glen Oaks Ave. The proposal submitted by Becky Nelson on behalf of Tetchie LLC, results in nine one-bedroom and three studio units. • A request was approved for a lot width variance at 2196 12th St. Chuck and Chad Lowell plan to build a duplex on the property that requires a 19-foot variance from the 80-foot lot width. The duplex is 43 feet wide on a 61-foot-wide lot. Debra Neutkens

Wild Wings of Oneka is dealing with pandemic, and is for sale
BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
This has been a year of reckoning for one of the area’s most venerable institutions, Wild Wings of Oneka. Like almost every business, the 64-year-old Hugo hunting club has been hit hard by COVID-19, losing an estimated $250,000 so far. Some activities have been held, and the club is prepping for its busy season, autumn. This is the year that the ownership group, in place for 47 years, has decided to let go. Wild Wings of Oneka is for sale. “I’m 70 and the other owners are in their 80’s, and we know it’s important for a younger generation to get in,” said Jeff Hughes, who has managed the club since 1973. Hughes made it clear that whoever buys the hunting club must keep it that way, not “hack it up for real estate” and diversify the property. “We are emotionally involved in this club. Three generations of hunters have hunted here. We are looking for new ownership, but the club is going to go on as it is. We won’t sell unless it does.” The owners’ decision to sell came prior to the pandemic, he said. Wild Wings of Oneka is the oldest such club in Minnesota. It opened in 1956, much smaller and in a different location. (It was the second club at the time, but the first one has closed.) The operation was purchased in 1973 by Jim Gardner, John Ward, John Irvine and a fourth partner, now deceased. “All White Bear Lake guys,” Hughes pointed out. Gardner, Ward and Harriette Irvine, John’s widow, remain to this day. Hughes joined the ownership group in 1992. Wild Wings of Oneka is a 529-acre property with 14 separate, diverse hunting areas, 13 ponds, clay target and pistol ranges, a heated 5 Stand, and a farm operation to plant cover for birds. “A Sportsman’s paradise that captures the spirit of Midwest hunting,” is how the club bills itself. The headquarters building has four levels, including a dining room that

seats up to 130, clubhouse, fellowship hall, pro shop and a full bar. Members and guests hunt pheasants, ducks, chukar and wild turkeys. Hunting is easier there; birds are provided for hunters in specific areas. The 300 members pay $1,600 per year, plus a $500 deposit that is spent on club offerings. The club has 30 guides and a kennel of hunting dogs available. The birds are purchased from several Minnesota sources. The club hatched its own until about 15 years ago, when it found it was cheaper to buy them. Due to COVID-19, the club was ordered to shut down for three weeks in late March and early April, and the restaurant and bar remain closed. A huge event, Tough Mudder Twin Cities, scheduled in July, was canceled. The club has hosted the 10-mile obstacle race on its rugged terrain for the previous four years. “Tough Mudder brings 12,000 people to Hugo,” Hughes said. Several events with 30 to 100 partici-
pants were also canceled. The club has lost about 20% of its gross, about $250,000, Hughes said. Due to the virus, this is also the first year it have not charged a $5,000 initiation fee. The club reopened in April — with all activities outside, and adherence to social distancing — to use up an inventory of 3,000 birds that had already been supplied from providers. Hughes put out a newsletter asking members to come and harvest the birds, which was accomplished. The club’s peak season is October to December. What that will look like this year, of course, depends on “what state and federal governments will allow” at that point, Hughes said. Still scheduled, for August and September, are several annual fundraisers. The club works with 4-H, Pheasants Forever, Ducks Unlimited, Safari Club International, Maplewood Oakdale Rotary, St. Paul Canine Corps, Children’s Cancer Fund and the Hugo Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network. (Yellow Ribbon
events are for military personnel who missed hunting seasons while deployed overseas.) For these events, food trucks will be brought in to keep the participants outside. Jeff and Sue Hughes and their son Chad opened another club, Wings North in Pine City, in 1998. Chad runs that operation. Sue was Oneka’s chef for 47 years; she retired last year. She provided dinners of roast duck, pheasant and turkeys, and other delicacies. Especially popular are her pheasant pot pies; she made 2,500 to 3,000 of them each year. Hughes was 23 when he arrived in Hugo as a graduate of Ball State in Muncie, Indiana, where he majored in fisheries and wildlife biology “specifically to run a place like this.” The operation has expanded greatly under Hughes. “We’ve done pretty well. We’ve been in business 64 years; not many last that long,” Hughes said. “But we have only scratched the surface of the potential this club has.” The club could do more with outdoor corporate events in the summer, he said, along with outdoor weddings, for which they are currently building a pavilion addition to the main building. Presumably, the new owners will look to such summer activities. Meanwhile, the club is getting a boost in business from a huge increase in gun sales nationwide. That’s mostly pistols, Hughes said, and the club can accommodate their owners, who are mostly female, with the pistol range and their conceal and carry classes. Regarding the future of the club and the sport of hunting, Hughes and the other owners are elated to see a young generation of hunters emerging. The sport had been getting decidedly grayer, with fewer and fewer youths interested, until clay target shooting became a popular high school club sport in recent years. “So now we’ve got lot of kids signing up because live hunting takes their sport, trap shooting, to the next level,” Hughes said. “We’ve had a big resurgence in shooters spurred on by trap shooters.”

Township OKs archery deer hunt to reduce surplus population BY CYNTHIA SOWDEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
There apparently are too many deer in Ramsey County for their own good. According to an aerial survey conducted earlier this year by Ramsey County Parks and Recreation, 720 deer are living in the area, compared to 620 in 2019. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources recommendations put the ideal deer population at 15-20 per square mile. Deer herd populations that exceed the carrying capacity of the land can be detrimental to the overall health of the herd and affect public health through increased auto/deer collisions and the spread of deer ticks that may carry Lyme disease.
The White Bear Township Board voted via consent agenda Aug. 3 to allow special bow hunting days at the following locations this fall: • Otter Lake, Oct. 9-11 and Oct. 30-Nov. 1 • Poplar Lake, Oct. 9-11 and Oct. 30-Nov. 1 • Benson Airport, Oct. 9-11 and Oct. 30-Nov. 1 These hunts, along with others in Vadnais Heights, Little Canada, Maplewood, North Oaks, Shoreview, St. Paul, Roseville and Gem Lake, as well as the Arden Hills Army Training Site and H.B. Fuller, are expected to reduce the deer herd by 78 to 123 deer. White Bear Township also allows bow hunting on private lands. To hunt in the township, hunters must have written permission from the landowner where they intend to hunt and must obey all state and federal laws. The hunt is limited to bows and arrows and
all hunters must show proof of completing the Minnesota Bow Hunter Education Program. The hunt at Poplar Lake would allow no more than 16 hunters and is expected to take five to 10 deer. Ten archers would be allowed harvest four to eight deer at Otter Lake, while just four hunters would be allowed to hunt at Benson Airport, taking four or five deer. Hunters must receive written permission from the Town Board. Interested hunters should contact Patrick Christopherson, town clerk, 1281 Hammond Road, White Bear Township (651-747-2750) for an application. Hunters must contact the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department with the date, time and place where they intend to hunt (651-767-0640). Hunters must register any deer killed with the township.

Man convicted of child porn charged with breaking into girl’s bedroom
A 37-year-old man used social media to harass a 14-year-old Vadnais Heights girl and later broke into her bedroom, according to charges filed in Ramsey County District Court last week. Russell James Anderson Baldwin, of Cambridge, has been charged with two felonies: first-degree burglary and harassing someone under 18 with sexual or aggressive intent. He has previously been convicted of possession of child pornography in Isanti County. Around 3 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 10, Ramsey County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a burglary in Vadnais Heights. They spoke to a woman and her 14-year-old daughter, who said she was lying on her bed while video chatting with her boyfriend when she saw her bedroom door slowly open. A man entered, sat on her bed and said, “We need to talk.” When she turned to get her phone, which was charging on the bed, the man blocked her path with his body, saying, “No, no, no.” The girl later told investigators that she was afraid that the man would sexually assault her. The girl was able to leave her bedroom and meet her mother in the hallway. The girl’s boyfriend had called her mother to alert her of the intrusion, and her mother ran to her daughter’s bedroom and told the man to get out of the house. He walked to the deck, climbed down into the front yard and walked away, according to the charges. As he left, he said that he needed
inpatient treatment. The mother took a picture of the man and later told investigators that she could smell alcohol on him. The girl told investigators that she had seen the man previously; he had approached her and a friend at Greenhaven Park a few weeks earlier and asked the girl to get into his car. He also sent her a message on Instagram, which she ignored but took a screenshot of, as well as multiple long messages on other social media platforms in which he called her “hun” and told her that he missed her. She blocked all of his requests but recalled him saying that his name was Russell or another name that started with an R. Deputies recalled picking up Baldwin, who is homeless, while he was drunk at Greenhaven Park on Aug. 4. The photo from the screenshot taken by the girl resembled Baldwin. Baldwin was later arrested, and the girl and her mother identified him in a photo line-up. Baldwin told police that he went to the house to seek shelter during a storm. He denied entering the home and said he “met a heavy-set blond woman at the door who told him to leave.” He also said he could not remember if he had entered the girl’s bedroom and claimed he and not seen either her or her mother before. Later, he said that he had seen a Facebook post from the girl’s mother saying she was struggling, and he wanted to “get a job and help out her with money
and possibly help her out with yard work.” When confronted with the fact that all of his communications were direct towards the girl and not her mother, Baldwin said that he was “a very loving, very kind person.” He also said that he found the girl’s address after Googling her mother’s name. “I care about their family like they are family to me,” he told police, according to the charges. He said he intended to help the woman and her daughter; he wanted to ask the mother out and “have (his) own family.” In January of this year, Baldwin was sentenced on three counts of possession of child pornography in Isanti County District Court. Each count was on pornography involving prepubescent girls, according to the charges. Police asked Baldwin if there would be any evidence of stalking or child pornography on his cell phone. He said that he may have looked at child pornography in the last year. His probation officer told investigators that Baldwin had gotten a new phone since his earlier child pornography convictions, so any child pornography found on it would be a new violation. The phone is being held for examination by authorities. Bail has been sent at $200,000. Baldwin will next appear in court Wednesday, Aug. 26. Elizabeth Callen
Historic bridge lifts spirits with reopening BY KATIE LEIBEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER
After a three-year renovation, the Stillwater Lift Bridge is once again open and operating. It reopened with little fanfare, as celebrations were canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but community leaders hope its completed construction will have a positive impact on the St. Croix Valley and surrounding area for years to come. The bridge underwent a complete renovation to bring it back to its original look while converting it into a pedestrian/bike trail but can still be used for emergency vehicles as necessary. This trail adds to the series of bike trails in and around the Stillwater area. “It was a long time coming. They had been working on it for several years,” said Robin Anthony, the executive director of the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce. The bridge was originally built in 1931. It replaced a series of wooden bridges and ferries that people had used to get across the river at the time and addressed a great need to connect Wisconsin to Minnesota at the time. “It was always made out of wood, and it is my understanding that they would often catch on fi re,” said Ted Kozlowski, the mayor of Stillwater. The steel bridge was a major innovation for its time—it was essentially a permanent solution to burnt out or broken bridges and navigating ferries. The bridge was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1989. Its age may have been a contributing factor in the long-awaited reopening. “It’s a historic bridge, and they actually had to manufacture a (replacement) part because they don’t make those parts anymore,” Anthony said. Some floods in the area also contributed to the wait for the reopening. But the wait is now over. “They essentially restored the entire thing. It’s a 1931 bridge, and they went through and repaired and replaced every nut and bolt on that bridge,” Kozlowski said. “They’ve renovated it back to its original color, too, which is green,” said Christie Rosckes, marketing director of Discover Stillwater. “Especially in the winter, I think the green really pops in the snowy background.” The bridge’s reopening was ini-

The historic Stillwater Lift Bridge is staffed from 8 a.m. to 12 midnight daily in the summer. The bridge lifts every half hour if boat traffic is present. The approximately five mile trail loop from Stillwater into Wisconsin travels across both the lift bridge and the new St. Croix Crossing bridge.
tially going to be accompanied by a large celebration but because of the pandemic was postponed until the bridge’s fi rst anniversary of reopening. Despite the celebration’s cancellation, the bridge reopening has still drawn many to the downtown area to walk across the scenic bridge for the fi rst time. “There are a lot of locals coming down to walk the loop, and we’ve also had just hundreds of people down here on the weekends walking and riding on the lift bridge,” Anthony said. “Everybody in town, of course, knew about it. There were a lot of people wanting to be the first people across when it opened. It’s definitely been the talk of the town,” Kozlowski said.
The reopening has also been good for business, drawing in not only locals, but also people from out of town and leading them to rent bikes, go on Segway tours and visit ice cream shops, boutiques and restaurants during their visit. Visitors, who are drawn to the path for walking, biking and simply taking in the view, often stay for the local entertainment. “I think people have just flooded to it, and they love it. We’ve heard nothing but positive things,” Rosckes said. With proper social distancing, visiting the reopened bridge is a COVID-friendly activity for those bored at home. “It’s outdoors. It’s something
people can do even when we’re in a complete lockdown,” Rosckes said. “It’s a huge attraction. We’ve been waiting for this for a long time. We have this almost perfect 5-mile loop that’s absolutely perfect for people to bike on and walk on,” Kozlowski said. The bridge is now back to its original form, right down to the color, but is completely new and ready for walkers, bikers and visitors. “If you haven’t done it, I strongly encourage folks to get out and do it. It takes about an hour and a half,” Anthony said. The Stillwater Lift Bridge is owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Weather tidbits
Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Now that was an exciting storm that passed on Friday night. Much of the Metro was affected and damage was minimal. Some trees were lost and power lost but Friday's evening storm brought just about a half inch of rain and winds in the 50-60 mph range. In the wake of the storm, this weekends weather couldn't have been much nicer. Lower temperatures, dew points and winds. Much of this August's weather has been very tolerable compared to July's heat and humidity. More enjoyable weather is expected this week. Nature Note: I've released 4 monarch butteries (2 over this weekend) and I have 1 more in my monarch hotel in the pupa stage. 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.
