Women tackle Alzheimer’s one down at a time BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Two teams of women face off every year in the metro for a serious game of flag football. They call themselves the Blondes vs. Brunettes and play for one cause: to inspire fundraising, awareness and action in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. A White Bear Lake woman, Breanna (Olson) Schafer, co-founded Blondes vs. Brunettes in Minnesota after her mother, Chris Olson, was diagnosed with onset of Alzheimer’s. Schafer, still Olson at the time, was working on the east coast when she got the news and became a “long distance caregiver.”

“I felt compelled to be a voice for my mom. There was a stigma associated with the disease in 2007 and she felt people were treating her differently,” Schafer recalled. The young woman reached out to a Washington, DC chapter where she was living “to do something about the disease.” That’s when Schafer learned about a female flag football fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association called Blondes vs. Brunettes. “I showed up for tryouts and joined Team Brunette,” recalled Schafer. “I met remarkable people who became like family. We raised more than $100,000 each season to support local Alzheimer’s chapters.” SEE ALZHEIMER’S, PAGE 8A

More paramedics mean daytime 911 calls covered BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Olympians get warm Heritage Days welcome home

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Four more firefighters/paramedics will be responding to 911 calls during daytime hours, helping to cover a population of about 39,000. The added city employees will cover gaps in coverage, keeping response time as short as possible by avoiding calls to outside departments because no one could answer. Eventually, the city wants a total of 12 full-time firefighters/paramedics on the payroll. Their job description includes both fire and medical duties for more efficiency. An increase in ambulance revenues over 2018 projections along with savings from the dispatch conversion to Ramsey County will offset the cost of the hires in this year’s budget, noted City Manager Ellen Hiniker. There will be an impact on the 2019 budget as well, which will require a 10 to 12 percent hike in ambulance rates and about $95,000 from the general fund levy. The budgetary impact of adding four firefighters/paramedics Sept. 1 will be about $125,500 in 2018. In 2019, an added

Minnesota Commercial Railway workers are slowly replacing rail ties between White Bear Lake and Hugo.

3,000 rail ties down, 3,500 to go

SUBMITTED

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Repair work continues on the 6.5 miles of track from White Bear Lake to Hugo’s Bald Eagle Industrial Park. Minnesota Commercial Railway is replacing 7,500 rotting rail ties along the route, thanks to a $1.5 million appropriation from the Legislature last year to repair the deteriorating track. The spur is considered a vital link to businesses like JL Schwieters, Loadmaster Lubricants and National Recycling Inc. Area politicians and Chamber of Commerce members lobbied hard to get the funding, worried that without the rail, 500 jobs could be lost if companies like Schwieters relocated. Repair work should be done by the end of October, according to Rob Bagaus, chief maintenance way officer. They are about halfway done with the tie replacement, he said. Three miles of granite rock, or railroad ballast, will also be dumped to stabilize the base and disperse the weight of the ties, which weigh about 200 pounds each.

White Bear flyer retires after 34 years BY JULIE KINK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Gordon Nelson always wanted to fly. Not only has the recently retired Delta Airlines pilot “slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings,” as the famous pilot-poet John Gillespie Magee, Jr. described flight, he’s been a Naval Officer, a Top Gun pilot, and a Landing Signal Officer. As a commercial airline pilot for more than three decades, Nelson fl ew both internationally and domestically. That’s a lot of flight time. While he’s qualifi ed to fly civilian aircraft, Nelson doesn’t own a plane, and says he doesn’t know if he ever would. “You’ve really got to use them to justify having one,” he said. Besides, since retiring June 30, Nelson said, life is “crazy busy.” In 34 years flying for Northwest/Delta Airlines, Nelson wracked up the equivalent of 470 trips around the earth, or nearly 25 trips to the moon and back. He’s flown the DC-10 for Northwest, as well as Boeing’s 727, 757 and 767, sticking with domestic routes during his later years with Delta. He said he’ll probably miss his job - eventually. “It’s nice to have more freedom and control of my life. I’m not going to miss living in hotel rooms, per se. I’ll miss the people I used to work with. I was very fortunate. I certainly will miss the fl ying portion of it, but it’s time to move on with another chapter in life.” Nelson, who has gone by the nickname “Toad” practically since birth, earned his private pilot’s license when he was in high school, graduating from White Bear High School in 1973. While working on a business management major from the College of St. Thomas, he attended the Navy’s Aviation Reserve Officer Candidate (AVROC) program, completing his officer candidate school prerequisites during his junior and senior summers. Nelson graduated from college in 1977, received his Naval officer’s commission and went right to flight school, finishing fl ight training and earning his wings at Naval Air Station Pensacola. He served in the Navy from 1977 to 1984.

After college, Gordon Nelson served as a Naval aviator, flying F-14s off the U.S.S. Nimitz.

Nelson’s Naval career took him to the East Coast where he flew F-14s off the aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Nimitz. A twin-engine, two-seater fi ghter aircraft, the supersonic Grumman F-14 Tomcat cost a whopping $19 million. The Tomcat was offi cially retired from the U.S. Navy’s active fleet in late 2006. “It’s a museum piece now,” Nelson said. Landing on an aircraft carrier, especially for the very first time, is a humbling, daunting, nerve-testing experience. In fact, it’s said to be one of the most difficult things a Navy pilot will ever do. Nelson had just under 400 carrier-arrested traps (landings) during his one, three-year tour at sea with the Navy. The White Bear flyer also was airwing-qualifi ed as a Landing Signal Offi cer - the airman who’s ultimately responsible for the safe and expeditious recovery of aircraft. Nelson’s father, Gordon Charles Nelson, figured largely in the decision to become a pilot; the two shared a passion for aviation. “My dad had been in the Air Force and then worked for 3M flying corporate out of Holman Field,” Nelson said. “When I was younger we had a little Piper Super Cub. We used to fly out of Northport, an airfi eld between here and Stillwater . . . I was fortunate enough to be able to ride with Dad on the 3M plane every once in a while.” Though his father has been gone for many years, he would undoubtedly be proud of his pilot son; the

younger Nelson accumulated over 25,000 accident-free hours flying during his career, which he said is kind of the benchmark of the industry when a pilot retires. “Not everybody meets that goal,” he said. “Every flight was different, and you never wanted to take anything for granted. “The nice thing about flying is the phenomenal things you get to see, as far as weather, and the beautiful country you’re flying over. It’s pretty cool for people who have never experienced that. We take flying so for granted here in the U.S.” Nelson and his wife, Cindy, were married in 1992 and live on the south end of Bald Eagle Lake. Cindy retired June 1 after 41 years at Fairview Hospital Complex. “We both love to travel, are both big skiers so we plan to do some skiing out west . . . We’re homebodies too, so it will be good to get caught up with house projects and spend some time with family,” he said. “I was very fortunate to have help along the way. It’s been a team effort.”

Reflect on history

T

HE 1968 EXHIBIT at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul was a meaningful time of reflection for Kathy and me. Fifty years ago is significant for us as we just celebrated a half-century of marriage. In 1968 the country was getting tired of the Vietnam War and the high count of deaths and casualties. That year we had two assassinations, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. The Apollo-Saturn mission was the second and last unmanned test flight. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Our Minnesota Hubert H. as Vice President About the Humphrey played a big part in that legislation. Town Vince Lombardi announced Gene Johnson his retirement as coach of the Green Bay Packers and Lee Trevino became the fi rst golfer to shoot in the 60s in every round of the U.S. Open. The best motion picture that year was Oliver!, but the box office favorite was Funny Girl with Barbra Streisand. In 1968 the average income was $8,632 per year. Gasoline cost 34 cents per gallon and you could buy a new car for under $3,000. Life expectancy was 70 years and the minimum wage was $1.60 per hour. Boeing rolled out the fi rst 747 in 1968 and the 911 emergency number was implemented by AT&T. That year the U.S. Congress repealed the requirement for a gold reserve to back currency. Richard Nixon defeated the Democratic candidate, Vice President Humphrey. At the Paris peace talks President Johnson announced that he had ordered a complete cessation of all air, naval and artillery bombardment of North Vietnam effective Nov. 1. We also had the fi rst humans to see the far side of the moon with astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and William Anders traveling in Apollo 8. The 1968 exhibit will be at the Minnesota History Center through January 21, 2019. Another interesting exhibit is the background of the Somalian culture. This, too, is helpful to see the struggle they have gone through living through corrupt government and the unsafe living conditions in the Eastern African country. The Somali population in Minnesota is currently more than 25,000. The Somali exhibit will be on display through June 9, 2019. The Minnesota History Center is located at 345 W. Kellogg Boulevard in St. Paul. They are open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. They are closed on Monday. Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors 65+, $6 for children 5-17 and children 4 and under are free. They also have free admission from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 on Tuesdays. Daily parking in the lot at the site is $6. THE AVERAGE TEENAGER spends seven hours a day in front of a screen. Is it any wonder they are feeling disconnected? It is also reported that 2011 was the worst year for mental health issues as suicide skyrocketed among teens. Researchers have reported that the more time the teens spend on the screen, the more likely they are to be unhappy. The opposite is also true. Parents, help your children create experiences rather than entertain them. If they wait to be entertained, it will bring about boredom. Technology can be and is helpful, but areas of excess will be harmful. DID YOU KNOW that Hugo is the largest city in the state of Minnesota in square miles?

The best of Minnesota

any of us love the Minnesota State Fair. Whether it be 4-H exhibits, the farm animals, midway rides, machinery hill, all types of food, great entertainment, information galore, the people, and much more — this is the best fair in America. I have enjoyed going to the fair ever since I was a young child. I still look forward to visiting the various buildings with the wide Legislator range of exhibits from the Miracle Lingo of Birth Center to the woodworking Chuck Wiger projects in the crafts building. I always learn so much. I also have fun meeting area residents who may have earned a ribbon for their project or are working at the fair. It’s almost impossible to visit the fair without running into someone you know. This year’s fair begins Thursday, Aug. 23, and runs through Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3. As usual, the fair marks the bittersweet end of summer and beginning of fall. Here are some of the new State Fair offerings that you and your family might enjoy: • Pet pavilion. A new 6,600-square-foot open-air pavilion houses purebred dog breed booths and a pet surgery suite. Veterinarians will perform spay and neuter surgeries. Obedience demonstrations will be performed in a new

grassy outdoor demonstration area. • Gorgeous new kitchen. The former Creative Activities Demonstration Kitchen has been transformed into a state-of-the-art kitchen that features demonstrations by local chefs. • New rides. There are two new kiddie rides — a carousel and a rotating teacup. There are also five new thrill rides, including a Haunted Castle Dark Ride. This is the largest traveling haunted attraction in North America, making its debut at the Minnesota State Fair. • Eco Experience. This is the largest environmental education event of its kind in the country. It is a partnership of the State Fair, the Minnesota pollution Control Agency and more than 150 organizations and businesses. • Draft and mini horse shows. More draft horses and charming minis will show off in the exhibition ring, mostly on the weekends. • The Hangar. This is a new destination with an aircraft theme that features food, craft beer and entertainment. • Livestock shows. Visit the cattle barns to see shows with dairy goats, Hereford cattle, sheep and Charolais cattle. • Mental Health Day. For the first time, the Fair will feature a Mental Health Awareness day on Aug. 27. Visitors can explore mental health and wellness resources through stage performances, music, demonstrations, yoga and more. More than 30 awareness-raising activities, many of

them geared for children and teens, will be offered. The opening of the fair is a time to reflect on a bit of history. Minnesota became a state in 1858 and the first State Fair was held in 1859. During the fair’s early years, the site changed annually with stops in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, Red Wing, Winona and Owatonna. In the 1870s and early 1880s, civic groups worked to provide a permanent home for the fair. Finally, in 1885, Ramsey County donated its 210-acre poor farm to the state. Over the years, the Minnesota State Fair grew to its current 320 acres. The State Fair does not receive government funding or taxpayer dollars of any kind. It is completely self-supporting. Our excellent Minnesota county fairs — Ramsey and Washington, particularly — also deserve praise for the outstanding job that they do every year. For more information and a complete listing of events, please visit mnstatefair.org. And come and see me in the Minnesota Senate booth in the Education Building. I will be there on Monday, Aug. 27, from 2 to 4 p.m. I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas for the next legislative session, which begins Tuesday, January 8, 2019. Sen. Chuck Wiger represents District 43 in the Minnesota Senate. He can be reached by email at sen. chuck.wiger@senate.mn and by phone at 651-296-6820.

Bogus computer alerts play on fear, embarrassment

B

etter Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) is warning consumers about a newer scam that’s affected other parts of the country and seems to have moved into our area – a fake “pop-up” alert scam which tells computer users that adult content has been detected on their computers. People are then urged to call an 877 number before closing the page or their “computer access will be disabled to prevent further damage to our network.” The alert also says, “Financial data, Facebook Logins and credit card details are being stolen.” However, these alerts are not legitimate and unknown entities behind them are fraudulent. Though these “alerts” look scary, they only become dangerous when people call the phone numbers that accompany these messages. BBB urges people to simply close the page – or their browser – and the suspect alerts should go away. BBB recently received one of these alerts and called the support number listed – an 877 number. The person who answered claimed they were working with Microsoft (a claim that fraudsters often make) and offered to run a free scan of the affected machine. At that time, BBB ended

the call. Allowing anyone remote access to your computer puts your device and sensitive personal and fi nancial information at great risk. The malware which triggers these bogus alerts is often acquired by innocuous browsing of mainstream websites. A good way to avoid such alerts is to have anti-virus and anti-spyware protection on your computer. It’s Movers and also best to avoid any suspicious or comproShakers mised websites. But it’s to know that Better Business important anyone with a computBureau er – regardless of their browsing habits – can receive such alerts. “The alert that was brought to our attention claimed the user had just five minutes to contact the support number provided to prevent their computer from being disabled or from any information loss,” added Adams Loyd. “Obviously, that’s very scary. People need to stay calm and recognize these alerts for what they are.” BBB of Denver issued an alert on a similar scam late last year, wherein

people received emails from self-proclaimed hackers who attempted to blackmail victims through a series of emails sent to victims’ work email addresses. The first emails contained adult content and links to dating websites, soon followed by a message demanding payment – in Bitcoin – from those who had clicked on the links. In the subsequent message, the scammers also claimed to have hacked the victims’ webcams and threatened to share captured video and screenshots from adult websites to people in the users’ email and social media contact lists. In those cases, experts said such threats were likely empty ones. Though it is possible for scammers to hack webcams, BBB advises people not to make any payments to people claiming they have done so and to report any threats to local authorities, as blackmail is a crime. BBB also advises employees not to engage with any suspect emails they receive and to avoid clicking on links or attachments in such emails. It’s also a good idea to cover your webcam when not using them for a Skype call or video chat. More recently, the Detroit Free Press reports that scammers are now contacting consumers via email and threatening to share their online

We are members of the North East Chapter of the Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing (MICAH.) We are people of faith who work toward a metro area where everyone has housing. The Four Square Flats proposal would have added needed rental units to our city. The Metropolitan Council says we will need 200 more affordable housing units in the next decade — our city will grow by 1,500 people in the next 20 years. The Four Square proposal included 20 apartments, priced to be affordable to a head of household making $25 an hour. There are many people working hard in our community who make less. Four Square was a small step in the right direction, and we supported it. But it is clear that far more needs to be done.

We are grateful to live in a community that supports public school education and believe it is a great asset to all who live in the district. Strong schools not only help to keep our home values high, but also help to form a wonderful population of people seeking the best possible environment for their children and families. Raising taxes is always an uncomfortable subject. However, we strongly believe that a small tax increase is an excellent investment in one of our community’s largest and most important investments.

browsing histories unless a payment is made. What’s more, scammers in these cases have somehow gained access to old but legitimate usernames and passwords that victims have used at one time. BBB’s advice to the public remains the same: don’t panic. Keep in mind that a lot of personal information – including old usernames and passwords in some cases - has been made available through various high-profi le data breaches in recent years. Successful phishing attacks, wherein scammers gather sensitive personal data through impersonation schemes conducted via email, are another source of information fraudsters use to their advantage. If you’re concerned about an alert you’ve received on your computer, contact BBB (bbb.org) to report your experience and get expert advice. Don’t call the phone numbers that appear within these alerts, as they’re part of the scheme. When in doubt, exit out of the page you’re on, close your browser or simply shut down your computer. If the alerts won’t go away, you may need to contact a technical expert. The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota can be contacted at bbb.org or 651-699-1111.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We need affordable housing

There is a child in a White Bear Lake school who may be having problems. They might be the kid who doesn’t stay in their chair, who bothers the other students, who needs a lot of attention. They might not have their homework done. They might not have had breakfast. That child might be one of the 160 kids in the White Bear Lake School District who are homeless, or couch-hopping, or staying doubled up in someone else’ home. They are children who don’t know where they will be the next month, the next week, the next night. This is only one symptom of the housing crisis we are experiencing. The recent community discussion about the Four Square Flats development proposed for County Road E and Bellaire Avenue revealed that many in our community are not aware of the depth of the housing crisis. According to the census, 30 percent of the households in White Bear — 3,000 households — can’t find housing they can afford. Apartment rents have been going up for several years, and the homeless shelters are full of people who cannot find affordable rentals in our community.

I have two permits from Brown’s Creek Watershed and one from Washington County Public Works, and have met with County Commissioner Fran Miron and Public Works Director Wayne Sandberg as well as Karen Kill from Brown’s Creek. I was assured there

was no problem. Sandberg did ask if I would change the abrupt edge of the bank to a 45-degree angle, which I happily agreed to. I also have a Washington County easement permit. I did not initiate litigation against the hydro-vac dumping; the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency fi ned the owner $3,450 and the Grant city attorney fi led a cease-and-desist order and a restoration order. Three hundred-plus trucks discharged wastewater, including six from the 3M chemical research building. Many places in Grant have ponds directly next to the road, on Keats Avenue south of 12 and on County 9 near Withrow. There is no litigation over my ponds. The easement on the north side of County 9 is 50 feet, but on the south it is 60 feet. I assumed they were the same. An easement allows the county access to the land, but I still own it and use it. I also created a wetland, which is permissible. It was in direct response to the illicit discharge occurring directly across the street to protect my hayfield. I would also note that some agricultural operations are exempt from grading ordinances. Loren Sederstrom Grant

Shoreview man dies scuba diving in Stillwater area lake MAY TOWNSHIP — A recreational activity turned tragic at Square Lake Aug. 14. William Lorenzo Brown, 51, of Shoreview, was scuba diving when he began having difficulty in the water. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of the struggling diver about 7:40 p.m., according to Sgt. Mike Petrey. The County Fire Dive team, Stillwater Fire Department and Lakeview Ambulance also responded. Brown was found underwater by divers. Paramedics attempted resuscitation when they brought him to shore but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death is currently still under investigation by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the Ramsey County Medical Examiner.

Brown was a certified, experienced diver, according to a statement by Midwest School of Diving, located in White Bear Lake. “Safety is as always everyone’s number one concern while diving, as diving can (be) a hazardous sport, once we know the details we will let folks know,” the school stated in a Facebook post. In a phone call, Midwest School of Diving owner Mark Dugger said inquiries about how the accident occured should be directed to the sheriff’s office. Cmdr. Andy Ellickson said the office is waiting for a complete report from the medical examiner to determine a potential cause of the accident. “There is no evidence to show anything other than an accident,” he added.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Extra DWI enforcement through Labor Day

Officers, deputies and troopers from more than 300 agencies will be working extra DWI enforcement shifts starting tomorrow and running Aug. 17 through Sept. 2. The Labor Day period is a working holiday for troopers, officers and deputies who are finding drunk drivers behind the wheel. The holiday period is the third worst for drunk drivers based on DWI arrests per hour at 3.8 (Halloween is the worst at 4 per hour). Law enforcement officers consistently arrest more than 400 people for drunk driving during the long holiday weekend, and about 25,000 are arrested each year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provides the overtime funds while the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety coordinates the extra enforcement and education effort.

ALZHEIMER’S: Team building begins in preparation for football fundraiser FROM PAGE 1A

When she returned to Bald Eagle Lake in 2012 for a job with Target’s government affairs team, Schafer brought the idea of a metro flag football team with her. “I wanted to do more with Alzheimer’s when I moved back,” she said. “I became involved with an organization called Young Champions. We were looking for a signature fundraising event and co-founded Minnesota Blondes vs. Brunettes.” Young professionals engage in a friendly, but fierce game, holding tryouts, getting drafted, attending practices and learning plays. “It’s a legit football game,” Schafer maintained. Today the all-women teams play in more than 40 cities and have collectively raised about $6 million across the country. The Minnesota event, which was rebranded RivALZ to accommodate national growth, raised $135,000 the first year. Schafer says they’re hoping to break $1 million in 2018. Players are supported through pledges, much like the MS150 bicycle ride or walk for breast cancer. The team raising the most money by game day get to pick the jersey color. The season kicks off June 21, the longest day of the year. It’s meant to depict a common theme with Alzheimer’s: that every day feels like the longest day for victims and caregivers. Schafer’s dad Brent Olson was her mother’s primary care giver. A retired White Bear Lake CPA, Olson lovingly cared for his wife for eight years, when in 2015 he unexpectedly passed away. Schafer then moved into her mom’s house and shared caregiver duties with her sister Shanna.“Our mom wanted to stay home as long as she could. When dad died, out of honoring him and his commitment to keep her home, my sister and I knew we needed to continue to keep her life as normal as possible,” Schafer added. Eventually, it got to the point the sisters couldn’t give their mother the level of care she needed. They made the difficult decision to move Chris to a memory care facility. She died Feb. 11 of this year at age 68, a week after Schafer’s son was born. “They did meet,” she said.

Team Brunette players and male coaches started their Slip and Slide day Aug. 11 with a charity workout at 180 Kettlebell Gym in Centerville.

Schafer described her father as an extraordinary, exceptional man. He helped educate people on what it means to be a caregiver. The family was part of a 2015 documentary by PBS called “Caring for Mom and Dad,” she noted. It aired on Mother’s Day the month he passed. She also serves on the Board of Directors for the Alzheimer’s Association MN-ND Chapter, beginning her second three-year term. Schafer no longer plays but still participates as a “rallier,” or someone who supports a team. She has her own fundraising page and contributes to Team Brunette. Former players from around the country fly in to attend the game, she said, and cheer on their team. Teams are still divided up by hair color in the Twin Cities, but the overall name is RivAlz Twin Cities Blondes vs. Brunettes flag football game. And the red heads? “They’re free agents,” she laughed. Another White Bear grad is a captain on Team Brunette. Kasey Vesel, class of 2005, became involved

five years ago and has played with Schafer and other White Bear gals. Her grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s about the time she joined. “At that point, our family became more involved with team fundraising for the football game,” said Kasey’ mother Mary Vesel. “We were approached by team coaches to host a team building event at our home. The Slip and Slide was started and this is our fifth year.” Mary’s dad, Gene Sannes, died in March from complications due to Alzheimer’s. “As a family,” she said, “we plan to continue to be involved until one day Alzheimer’s will have its first survivor.”

Primary election results, candidates come November WHITE BEAR LAKE — Twenty-nine percent of city and township residents who could vote in the Aug. 14 primary did vote, according to election officials. Total voting tallied 6,551 in the state primary from the two municipalities, or 29 percent of the people who were preregistered as of 7 a.m. on election day, said Joe Mansky, county elections manager. A total of 845 absentee ballots were cast in the 2018 primary. That includes mail voting, in-person absentee voting and early voting. Federal, state and local primary results show incumbent Betty McCollum will face Greg Ryan in the U.S. Representative race in District 4 Nov. 6. Incumbent Tom Emmer will face Ian Todd in the District 6 general election. Karin Housley will face Tina Smith in the special Senate race for Congressional District 4.

Locally, incumbent Stan Karwoski will face Woodbury City Councilwoman Julie Ohs for Washington County Commissioner, District 2.

Who’s on November ballot

When candidate fi ling closed Aug. 14 for the November election, White Bear Township had some new faces. Town Board Chair Bob Kermes has decided to retire from the board. Three residents running for his seat (Seat B) include: Ronald Denn, Planning Commission chair; Scott McCune, utility commissioner and member of the Economic Development Advisory Board; and resident Justin Stofferahn. Steve Ruzek is running unopposed for Seat A. In Dellwood, Michael McGill is running for mayor unopposed; Brady Ramsey, current treasurer, and Gregory Boosalis are running uncontested for two at-large council

seats. Elsbeth Howe is running for special election for council member at large. Bob Nuffort said he chose not to run after serving 12 years as mayor and 30 with the city. “It’s time to let others participate,” he said. McGill was treasurer for a number of years. Edwin McCarthy and Jim Cuff are also stepping down after many years on council. In Gem Lake, resident Laurel Amlee fi led along with council members Len Cacioppo and Gretchen Artig-Swomley. Voters will choose two. In Vadnais Heights, two are running to fi ll the mayor’s seat: Heidi Gunderson and David DeJarlais. Mayor Bob Fletcher is giving up his seat to run for Ramsey County sheriff. Running for two council seats are Erik Goebel, Greg Urban, Mark Battista, Patricia Youker, Robert Morse, Terry Nyblom and Feryle Borgeson. Voters will choose two.

Gunderson, Urban and Nyblom are current council members. In Willernie, incumbent Barbara Parent is running unopposed for mayor; newcomers Mark Warren and Tammy Soderlund are running for council member at large. Voters will elect two. The city of Birchwood Village has an open council seat after the resignation of Megan Malvey. Her seat will be fi lled by Jessi Aakre, who is running unopposed. Mayor Mary Wingfield is running unopposed for a two-year term. Two four-year council seats are also uncontested. Current councilman Kevin Woolstencroft is running for one seat and Jon Fleck is running for the second seat. Trilby White is stepping down at end of year. Debra Neutkens

PARAMEDICS: City hiring 4 for now FROM PAGE 1A

$176,500 will be assigned to the ambulance budget and $141,000 to the fire department budget. The net impact on the city, which assumes 70 percent of the fire department budget, is estimated to be $98,500 in 2019, Hiniker said. White Bear provides service to White Bear Township, Dellwood, Birchwood and a small portion of Lino Lakes, which would split the remaining costs. Staff also intends to recommend an increase in the hourly rate for part-time firefighter/EMS responders. The arrangement of full-time personnel working with part-time fire department members is called a “combination model.” It’s a staffing model the city adopted in 2014 when it added full-time paramedic/EMT teams to meet call demand. City Council authorized funds to hire the four full-time emergency responders at its Aug. 15 meeting. In a memo to council, Hiniker and Fire Chief Greg Peterson indicated demand for service continues to increase, placing a significant burden and stress on department members. In 2000, the department responded to fewer than five calls per day. Today, the department is on pace to respond to an aver-

age of 11 calls per day, or about 4,000 a year. Eighty percent of those calls are medical. Why the increase? An aging population, the addition of senior facilities in the area and an increasing number of mental health-related calls all contribute. “Since our last robust conversation, what has management said about the hire?” Councilman Kevin Edberg asked the city manager. “We recognize there have been strong traditions and practices in the department and we talked about how it impacts us,” Hiniker replied. “Within that, we have not wavered from this recommendation to add these positions and looking at a model that will service the city. We feel resolute to the recommendation.” Edberg acknowledged that the city needs to respond to changes in demographics and use patterns. “The old model is not bringing us consistent person power to fill the spaces,” he said. Councilman Dan Jones said he had concerns about recruitment and competitive pay, but knew staff is addressing those issues. Council voted 4-0 to fund the four. Councilman Steve Engstran, an EMT and member of the fire department, abstained.

Assessment burden questioned if convenience store approved BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

GEM LAKE — As plans for a mega convenience store on Hoffman Corner chug through the approval process, a nearby business owner nervously awaits the changes it will set in motion. John Birkeland owns 80 percent of the land along Hoffman Road, the roadway customers will use to access the new Hy-Vee store. Construction will trigger road improvements and utility work that Birkeland figures could cost him $500,000 in assessments. “We’re not against Hy-Vee moving in. We just can’t afford to pay for the infrastructure,” Birkeland stated. “They just ran water across to us and I was assessed $250,000. I didn’t mind paying that, because it’s a safety issue. But if they redo the road, I’ll have to pay for most of it.” Birkeland owns White Bear Floral, the Country Lounge, a car lot, several homes and the Cafe Cravings building on Hoffman Road. The 9 acres of land have been in his family since 1932. His property manager, Laurel Amlee, told the Gem Lake City Council Aug. 8 that assessing Birkeland for improvements “will take him out.” She lives in one of the rental houses on the property and represented her employer as a resident of the city. Birkeland lives in White Bear Lake. City Attorney Chad Lemmons reminded council that an assessed amount cannot exceed the benefit of the improvements. “A benefits appraisal would be conducted to determine value,” he noted. “You can’t assume Mr. Birkeland will assume all costs.” No action was taken at the meeting, but a short update on the project was provided by Planning Commission Chairman Ben Johnson. Hy-Vee representatives provided some design modification to the storefront, he said, adding more glass to get closer to a city ordinance that requires 60 percent. Johnson felt 60 percent was “counterproductive.” City Planner Tom Riedesel said the commission appeared satisfied with the modification, which was closer to 40 percent glass. Right of way for the Starbucks drive-through lane, stormwater treatment and landscaping are primary concerns, according to Riedesel. The store wants to utilize right of way, which will require an agreement with the city. “Hy-Vee doesn’t care who owns the right of way,” Johnson added. “They just want assur-

ance it doesn’t go away.” Traffic is also a concern. A minimum of 1,250 cars a day are expected to use Hoffman Road once the store is built. Birkeland feels that number is low. “Whatever the increase, we know the road can’t handle it,” he said. “The city has been holding off on doing anything on that road, even minor repairs, for reasons you’ve spoken (assessments),” City Engineer Justin Gese told Amlee. “At some point, we can’t wait any longer. Regardless of whether Hy-Vee goes in or not, we have to do something with that road.” A related land annexation issue is still hanging but

is slated for the Aug. 21 Vadnais Heights City Council agenda (after press time). A tiny piece of the corner, 0.07 acres, is technically in Vadnais Heights. Gem Lake must annex the piece, with permission from Vadnais Heights, before the deal closes. The total parcel is 2.3 acres and owned by Don Waldoch. At this point, it appears Vadnais Heights will ask for reimbursement of attorney fees for the legal work and five years of taxes before moving the boundary. The proposal will come before the Gem Lake Planning Commission again at its Sept. 4 meeting.

Loon Chronicles III: Strutting their stuff This was another spectacular week for watching the Loons. The early morning party membership is now up to 10. There are a few “drop ins” who choose not to mingle with the group, preferring to stay on the side lines. Probably not a bad idea while the Loons get to know each other better. The behaviors on display ranged from docile to explosive. One morning, shortly after two new a/k/a “drop in” Loons joined the group, one of the original group members just went nuts! He rose up from the water, started splashing frantically and went after one of the “drop in” Loons with a vengeance. Chaos followed. The two Loons went after each other in “chest-bumping” posture and blasted each other with their tremolo calls. In the end, the “drop in” Loon started wing-rowing around the entire group and eventually took off to the other side of the lake. The original Loon strutted his stuff, while the other members of the group kept their distance. By late September, these Loons will all be fishing together and getting ready for their October migration. The upper right frame features the “foot waggle”. Loons often raise a foot in the air to allow the water on the foot to evaporate. It is thought that this helps moderate the Loon’s body temperature in hot weather. We checked out a report that someone may have seen a large group of Loons with babies or bumps on their backs. We had our fingers crossed. From a distance the foot waggle often resembles a black bump, which easily can be mistaken for a chick. We did not spot any chicks, only foot waggles galore. Ellen Maas

Dugout changes owners, changing name

After 23 years, Dugout Bar & Grill owners Taun and Deb Bartholomew have sold the business to Jackeline Equia-Welch. The name of the business will be changed to Bloody Mary’s Bar with a projected closing date of Sept. 1. Taun, 48, said his mother was ready to retire to her cabin up north and when the new owner gave them an offer, they took it. He’s been working at the bar since he was 25 when he purchased it with his parents. His father Tom left the business four years ago and moved to Florida. As for Taun, he plans to take some time off before considering job offers. “I haven’t had two weeks off in 22 years,” he said. The new owner is keeping most of the staff. For now, there is still swing dancing at 7 p.m. on Tuesday nights. The establishment is located at 96 Mahtomedi Ave. in Mahtomedi.

It is a tough situation and customers will have to bear with him and others in like plight until conditions are better….A crew of workmen from the Highway Department are busy this week removing old street car rails from the junction of Stickley Boulevard and South Lake avenues. It was quite a job as the rails were laid in concrete and stone. There are two more places where rails were left by the Street Car Company, one being at Amundson Boat Works and another just south of the point where South Shore Drive joins Highway 100. These are to be removed later….

Male chest lump nothing to be ‘nonchalant’ about DETECTING MALE BREAST CANCER

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

For two years, Hugo resident Kirk Possehl wondered about a lump in his chest. “I found a lump in my chest and went to the doctor and the doctor left it in me for two years,” Possehl remembered. “They didn’t think of cancer. If I was a woman, I would have been in for a mammogram the next day.” Possehl brought up the lump topic four or five times to his doctor for two years before she finally asked if he wanted it taken out. Sure, he said. The surgery felt very “nonchalant,” as he remembers. He was surprised when the surgeon called him with bad news — he had breast cancer. He switched doctors. Possehl went through a mastectomy and radiation therapy and was found free of cancer about two years ago. The treatment is exactly the same as for breast cancer in women, said Dr. Puneet Cheema, an oncologist who saw Possehl at HealthEast Cancer Care at St. John’s in Maplewood. But it is much less common. He has seen fewer than 10 male breast cancer patients over his 16-year career as an oncologist. Only about 1 in 1,000 men get breast cancer and only 1 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses are in men, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. A family history of male breast cancer can put someone at higher risk, specifically a BRCA2 gene mutation, Cheema said. This March, Possehl was shocked again when he found another lump. “For a man to get a relapse on it or have it show up again is another less than 1 percent,” Possehl noted. He had just had his two-year check-up three weeks prior and nothing had been found from a physical examination and blood tests. He credits finding the lump as a “God moment” when he put his hand on his chest and just felt something weird. He returned to HealthEast Cancer Care, where doctors found the cancer in scar tissue. He went through surgery and radiation again. He had his last radiation follow-up this month. “So far, so good,” he said. He will continue to have checkups for several years. Possehl is now on a personal campaign to raise awareness about male breast cancer by not being shy about it. He said men should bring up anything of concern to their doctors. “Go get things checked,” he said. “Ninety-nine percent of the time it is nothing,

B Breastt cancer iin men iis usually ll ddetected t t d as a hhard d llump underd neath the nipple and areola. Men have a higher mortality rate than women do, primarily due to less awareness that the lump could be breast cancer, which can cause a delay in seeking treatment. Breast self-exams should be performed once a month. Here are three ways to self-examine for breast cancer (for men and women): • In the shower: Using the pads of your fingers, move around your entire breast in a circular pattern moving from the outside to the center, checking the entire breast and armpit area. Check both breasts each month feeling for any lump, thickening, or hardened knot. Notice any changes and get lumps evaluated by your health care provider. • In front of a mirror: Visually inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Next, raise your arms high overhead. Look for any changes in the contour, any swelling, or dimpling of the skin, or changes in the nipples. Next, rest your palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your chest muscles. Look for any dimpling, puckering, or changes, particularly on one side.

Hugo resident Kirk Possehl has become an awareness advocate for male breast cancer after fighting the disease twice.

but just get it checked. This is how you save your life.” Cheema concurs: “If you see something or you feel something, you should say something.” It is easy for men to do self-examinations of their breast tissue since they are small, he added. While fatty benign tumors can occur in men of any age and young men can experience temporary lumps due to hormonal changes, any lump should be checked out, he noted. Possehl said he has spoken to many people who do not even realize men can get breast cancer. “I want to help other people,” he noted. “I know that’s why I’m here.” After going through cancer, Possehl went into the insurance business because he wants to help people prepare for the unexpected. His passion is life insurance. “You never know when that call is going to come,” he noted. “As soon as that call comes, you become uninsurable or really expensive. Do it before

• Lying down: When lying down, the breast tissue spreads out evenly along the chest wall. Place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your right breast gently in small circular motions covering the entire breast area and armpit. Use light, medium and firm pressure. Squeeze the nipple; check for discharge and lumps. Repeat these steps for your left breast.

Source: National Breast Cancer Foundation that happens.” He only wishes his younger self could take his older self’s advice and he could leave behind something beyond burial expenses — “I had really crappy life insurance,” he remarked. Possehl is known in the northeast metro community for his sports announcer work at White Bear Lake Area Schools, Mounds View Schools, Hill Murray and the University of Minnesota. He has an 18-year-old son and a 16-year-old daughter. He is active at Eagle Brook Church and credits his faith in God for helping him face the difficulties of being among the 1 percent of men who are diagnosed with breast cancer. His yellow Lab, Goldy, has been his “rock” through two rounds of breast cancer treatment. “Goldy has stuck with me through thick and thin,” he said. His new wife helped him get through the second round.

Sailor from boat-building family has raced Inter-Lake Regatta 62 straight years BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Inter-Lake Regatta (ILR), recently held for the 126th time, has long been one of the highlights of the Minnesota sailing season. Steve Johnson is proud to say that he’s sailed in just about half of them. “For some reason or other, I kept going to them and have never missed one,” said the White Bear Lake resident who made his debut in 1957. Johnson, grandson of the founder of a wellknown boat-building company, sailed in his 62nd consecutive ILR Aug. 3-4 on Clear Lake, Iowa. He’s won “more than my share,” over the years, Johnson said, while stressing that sailing is about much more than winning. “My grandsons are sailing with me now,” noted the skipper. “I tell them that friends you make here will be friends for life. Kids I sailed against in X boats (beginners level) are still friends today.” The Inter-Lakes Regatta is held alternately in Minnesota and Iowa with E, C, MC scows and X class. It started in 1895 as a three-year duel between White Bear Lake and Lake Minnetonka sailors, Johnson said, typical of the centuries-old rivalries between Minneapolis and St. Paul factions in all types of endeavors. White Bear won two of those three years. Their boat-building expertise helped. “It is generally recognized,” said Johnson, “that White Bear was the Mecca of boat building innovation in the 1890s,” and the locals, he added, continued to make “quantum leaps” in early decades of the 20th century that were copied by other builders in the Midwest and East. The Johnson, Amundson, Ramaley and Peterson families were all in the business on the west end of the lake, dubbed Boat Works Bay by sailors. “There was lots of competition between them and a fast learning curve,” he said. Before long the Lake Calhoun Yacht Club joined the fun and it became known as Tri-Lakes Regatta for a while. Around 1950, Iowa clubs based at Clear Lake and Lake Okoboji, and a Missouri club based on Lake Latowana (a private, manmade reservoir), came on board. In Johnson’s fi rst race, at age 12, he didn’t qualify, but his dad got him on the crew of a boat from Missouri. He has qualified individually every year since, starting with the X boats (beginners level). It was a struggle for a while. His first goal was just to fi nish a race before the director pulled up the finish line before he got there, which happened. His second goal was “just to beat a (single) boat,” and the fi rst time he actually passed someone, he fi nished last anyway because the other boat had to withdraw. But before long, he would become a skipper of some renown. Johnson’s grandfather, John O. Johnson, started Johnson Boat Works in 1896, three years after emigrating from Norway. The company continued through three generations, including Steve’s father, Walter “Buster” Johnson. After just over a century, the boat molds were sold in 1998 to their competitor, Melges Boatworks.

Skipper Steve Johnson and his crew got Gryphon ready for a recent Monday evening A-boat races on White Bear Lake.

Johnson, who has multiple degrees from the University of Minnesota, worked for the family business 10 years before leaving for Honeywell as a project leader in the information technology field. He’s now retired. The White Bear sailor is currently squiring a 38-foot beauty named “Gryphon,” after a mythical character, with a history he enjoys telling. “We built it in 1963 for John S. Pillsbury Jr. of the Minnetonka club. It was the last ‘A’ scow we built. He sailed it one year, won the championship, and didn’t race again. “He gave it to his son, who sailed 12 or 13 years, but was not the sailor his dad was. The son sold it to Bob Theile of Wisconsin, who sailed it eight years and completely modernized it. He won a few championships with it but unfortunately had a stroke.” Gryphon changed hands a few more times until Johnson’s friend and fellow sailor Fletcher

Driscoll spotted the familiar vessel at a marina in Duluth after it had been used in a Boy Scout camp. Johnson bought it back, and has raced it since 2005 while giving it several facelifts. “I have a special affection for old wood boats. Restoring them has become my avocation,” acknowledged Johnson. With cohorts, he completely modernized the vessel in the winter of 2004-05, replacing the aluminum plate rudder with foil rudders, and replacing the spinnaker rig with an asymmetrical and bowsprit system. Later they replaced the aluminum mast and boom with carbon fiber ones. And they undertook major reconstruction of the hull the winter before last “to make it look like new again.” The longtime skipper and his finely-tuned boats have made an indelible mark in the long history of the Inter-Lake Regatta.

MGA State Open champ wins on home Dellwood course BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The last time an MGA state tournament was held on her home course, Olivia Herrick recalls, she “stumbled” in the final round and admits that it left “a little sting” for her. Herrick made sure that did not happen again last week when Dellwood Country Club hosted the MGA State Open. Fending off two past State Open champions, Herrick captured the trophy, shooting a 1-under-par 71 on Thursday and a 1-over-par 73 on Friday for an evenpar 144. Sarah Burnham’s blazing 67 on Friday was not enough to overtake Herrick. Burnham, of Rush Creek, and Lisa Grimes, of Alexandria, tied for second with 145s. Olivia Herrick “I am thrilled to have played well this week—I have been working really hard the past few weeks so it feels incredible to see that work pay off,” Herrick told the MGA’s website. “This is a big one for me. It’s a strong field at my home course … It feels so good to represent the club and get the win.” It was Herrick’s first MGA win of 2018 but she’s had a good season overall and this win gave her a commanding lead in the season points race. It would be her fifth such season championship. The former Drake University star has accumulated 24 amateur victories since 2006, including one previous State Open in 2011 at Hastings. One she didn’t nail down was the State Amateur in the 2013 at Dellwood, to which she referred Friday. Herrick, a native of Dellwood who now lives in Roseville, bogeyed the par-4 No. 11 hole Friday but sank a 25-foot birdie putt on No. 12. “That putt was definitely good for morale,” she told AmateurGolf.com. She got another birdie on No. 16 with a drive to less than two feet of the cup and a tap-in that opened a two-stroke lead.

Catch of the Week Charlie Zender, 13 from White Bear Lake, recently caught this 34-inch, 14-pound northern in a Minnesota lake called Thorton.

Does your body fit your golf swing or the other way around? The golf swing is made up of three parts. You have a weight transfer, an arm swing and a wrist hinge. It sounds so simple, how can it be that difficult? When I work with clients, I can usually spot most of their swing faults on the first lesson. However, it’s not always Tee Time clear as to the reason behind the issue. It Betsy Larey could be the swing, but is also could be physical limitations that prevent the person from making the swing. On many occasions, lack of flexibility is the main culprit. But oftentimes, I see balance issues as well. So the question becomes, do you change the golf swing to fit the body or change the body to fit the golf swing? That becomes a personal decision for each person and their instructor. When you’re talking about golf specific fitness, it all starts with mobility. Mobility is the combination of normal joint range of motion and proper muscular flexibility. Good mobility allows your body to move in different directions while maintaining stability. Stability is created by combining balance, strength and muscular endurance. The number one issue I see with golfers is the inability to stay “in position” with their body during their backswing. In the proper address position, your back is straight, tilted from the hips so the shoulders are over your toes. Your arms should hang loosely from your shoulders. Your knees should be slightly flexed with the rear end out and your weight towards the balls of your feet. During the backswing, the shoulders turn so your back is facing the target. The lower body is the base that the swing moves around. The right leg (for right handed golfers) is the anchor of the swing. Your right knee should still be flexed, with your knee cap pointing straight ahead. If this is done correctly, you should feel

“loaded” into your right glute. In the quest for a full swing (club is parallel to the ground, aiming down the target line), many golfers make compensations to get the club to that position. Why? Because their body is not able to make that move and stay in the correct posture. There are three compensations you can make to get the club to the top. First, you can over rotate your lower body so your weight actually ends up on your left side (reverse pivot). Second, you can bend your left arm and add an excessive wrist hinge. Third, you can “stand up” by straightening your spine. All three of these make it very difficult to have a consistent golf swing. What’s the number one injury for professional golfers? That would be back issues. There is nothing natural about the golf swing. You are rotating your spine at a 90 degree angle around your hips, and then swinging at speeds of 60 to 110 miles per hour while transferring your weight to your left side. All of this is occurring while you are trying to maintain your balance throughout the swing. So when I see clients making compensations during the backswing, the first thing I do is check to see if their spine is able to move in that position without losing posture. Next, I check to see if their hips allow them to make a shoulder turn while maintaining stability. If the answer is no, then the obvious fix is shortening the swing. The swing at the top has to stop at the point where you are unable to stay in position. This is a bitter pill for a lot of people to swallow. Most would assume that this happens to golfers after they hit 50. I actually have a couple of clients in their 20s that have the same issue. If I had to pick the one issue I see more than any other, with my clients 50 and over, it’s the inability to load into the right glute at the top of the backswing. The issue most often is weak interior and exterior hip flexors. Normal everyday life allows this to happen over time. Unless you have been doing the right exercises

to keep your hips firing, you’re probably making compensations in your swing to work around them. It’s very difficult to play golf without hips that function correctly. If you think this could be your problem and you’d like to fix it, I suggest seeing a physical therapist or a qualified personal trainer to assess your situation. If you have structural problems in your back or hips, all the exercises in the world won’t fix the issue. I highly recommend Kinetic Physical Therapy Institute in Woodbury. They specialize in the postural restoration approach, which is different than most physical therapy. Doing exercises, without diagnosing the underlying causes doesn’t do much good. See Karen or LuAnn. If you’re looking for a fitness studio, I always suggest Uncommon Age in Stillwater. Marty Larson is the owner, and will

do individual assessments to figure out your movement pattern and how it can be improved. They have great classes, plus personal training. I am not a fan of the big box clubs, because most trainers do not have the knowledge and expertise to deal with postural deficiencies. This is my last column for the year, as I am having a new knee installed next week. Thank you for reading my column this season, and if I can answer any questions you have please send them my way.

White Bear schools radon test results come back clean investigative piece by KARE 11 this spring revealed several metro districts, including North St. Paul and Stillwater, have not tested for radon in every ground level room within the last five years, as recommended by the state. “We want to be proactive,” Roeser said. It cost about $25,000 to test all the schools. White Bear schools will be tested again in 2023.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Good test results from last school year's radon testing were received by the district this month. “All of our results came in well below any corrective action levels,” said Health and Safety Coordinator Dan Roeser at a school board meeting Aug. 13. The results were similar to those received during the 2012-2013 school year. White Bear Lake Area Schools places radon detectors in all classrooms every five years, Roeser said. This year's testing lasted from Nov. 2017 to April 2018. The district follows placement recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health. Not all school districts follow state recommendations regarding school radon testing, Roeser noted. An

In other action, the school board: • Approved a partnership with MacPhail Center for Music for 2018-19 at Birch Lake Elementary. The partnership includes the following: Group piano lessons during the school day for students in second through fi fth grade; violin lessons for students in second through fourth grade, a

specialized music program provided weekly to kindergarteners and fi rst-graders, and a weekly session for a special cluster program. MacPhail Center for Music pays rent to the district to use space at Birch Lake Elementary during the evening. The net cost to the district is $32,900 and was included in the 2018-19 budget. • Approved a partnership with White Bear Center for the Arts for 2018-19. Students in grades K-5 will experience a total of six art lessons from White Bear Center for the Arts artists. These include three watercolor lessons, two drawing lessons, and a fabric-based art lesson that draws from the many rich cultural traditions within the community. The cost is $85,200. • Approved staff cabinet contracts

for 2018-19. The positions include the assistant superintendent for fi nance and operations, assistant superintendent for teaching and learning, director of community services and recreation, director of communications and community relations and director of technology and innovation. • Approved policy 730, dealing with the use of electronic signatures. The new policy will allow school district representatives to send and accept electronic signatures to conduct official business to the extent permitted by law and outlines the extent to which the school district will send, accept and rely on electronic signatures.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — At its Aug. 15 meeting, the City Council conducted the following business: • Approved a 15-foot variance from the 30-foot setback for the side yard abutting public right of way at 4895 Morehead Ave. The existing home owned by Greg and Mary Pariseau will be torn down and a new single-family home built in its place. • Approved a conditional use permit for a home accessory apartment in the 2200 block of 11th Street. A variance will allow the habitable area of the apartment to be 51 percent of the principal unit, vs. the 40 percent allowed by code. The proposal was submitted by Tracey Montgomery. • Approved final payment to Park Construction Company for the 2018 mill and overlay project in amount of $50,000. City Engineer Mark Burch noted the $330,000 project was completed for slightly less than the original contract when it was decided the existing trail from White Bear Parkway to Birch Lake Boulevard still had life left and was omitted from the project. • Approved change order to the Centerville Road reconstruction project. The county requested a curb realignment on the west side. The additional work will be completely funded by the county. The total contract amount for the traffic signal and median changes is $933,700. • Heard a first reading of an ordinance adopting the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code and deleting the city ordinance, Chapter 804, related to smoke detector requirements. The 2018 code provides minimum requirements for maintenance of both residential and commercial buildings. • Granted a 3.2 on-sale beer and liquor license to The Waters of White Bear Lake, 3820 Hoffman Road. • Heard a presentation on the history and benefits of solar energy from Connie Taillon, environmental specialist with the city. Several municipal buildings — Fire Station No. 2, public works and public safety — are suitable for a rooftop 40-kilowatt solar array that could be installed at no charge through a provider, Taillon said. The city would get a better price on its energy

consumption and the provider, preferably Ideal Energies, would take care of all project management. The power system would be hooked directly to the buildings, meaning energy would not be sent to a grid unless there was an excess. Taillon provided a list of 20 metro cities, multiple school districts and a water treatment plant going to third-party solar. She added that the Lindbergh parking ramp at the international airport has a 3-million-watt solar array on its roof that replaced 7,700 metal halide lights and added four electric vehicle charging stations. It is expected to reduce utility costs by $645,000 per year. In year one, the city could save $4,900 per 40kW array, she said. The savings will increase due to yearly increases in Xcel rates. Councilman Bill Walsh said he didn't want to participate in solar energy. “It's dumb electricity. It is highly subsidized,” he maintained. “We do it because it feels good and it sounds good. Energy rates are rising because we force Xcel to buy dumb electricity. Our energy costs in Minnesota are now above average because of the 20 percent renewable energy policy. We historically had low energy prices before that. We get cheaper energy for the city budget, but it's subsidized by ratepayers and federal taxpayers who are constituents of the city. If you look at the big picture, it's perverse. We should petition the state to get rid of the 20 percent renewable energy standard and buy more clean coal, natural gas and nuclear.” Councilman Dan Jones said Walsh brings up valid points but he still wants to know more about the cost. Councilman Kevin Edberg took issue with Walsh's comments, saying solar is not dumb energy. “Let's talk about carbon in the atmosphere,” he said. Edberg and the other council members agreed to continue the conversation by inviting an independent party, not a salesperson, to talk about the economics of solar power and its technical feasibility.

School board members fi le for re-election MAHTOMEDI — Three school board members whose terms expire in 2019 have filed for re-election. Mike Chevalier, Kevin Donovan and Julie McGraw all fi led in the hopes to retake their seat on Election Day Nov. 6. A new face also seeks to take one of the spots. Gary Baumann, of Stillwater, filed to run, according to the Minnesota Secretary of State website. The school board offi cially called for the election at its Aug. 9 meeting. Mahtomedi School Board members are elected every two years during the general election held in even years. Members serve four-year terms. In other action, the school board: • Approved the 2019 school board meeting schedule. All regular meetings will be held on the second Thursday of the month except in March due to spring break when it will be held the first Thursday. • Closed open enrollment for this school year. Each year, the district monitors enrollment to maintain continuity of program and services for students and

class sizes below the metro average. The district strives to remain a small school district of 3,300. The goal for elementary schools is to have class sizes below the Metropolitan Educational Cooperative Service Unit (ECSU) average. The goal for the middle school is to adhere to the middle school model. The goal for the high school is to follow the recommendations of the right size study of approximately 1,200 students. • Approved a resolution ratifying and approving TIES reorganization and agreements. Earlier this year, TIES planned to dissolve. However, Sourcewell offered to reorganize, rather than dissolve TIES. The two key objectives for the reorganization of TIES is to minimize negative financial impact and to continue services for districts needing those services. Accordingly, TIES member districts were removed from all financial obligations (excluding buildings) of operations beginning July 1, costs to leave TIES membership are reduced signifi cantly, and member ownership is limited to the building until it is sold.

“ALPHA” (PG-13) [SOME INTENSE PERIL.] [SUBTITLED] — Gorgeous cinematography and scenery highlight this intense, touching, gutwrenching, 96-minute film based on Albert Hughes’s story and punctuated by a surprise ending about the survival of a tenacious teenage hunter (Kodi SmitMcPhee) in Europe during the ice age 20,000 years ago after a tragic accident separates him from his chieftain father (Johannes Haukur Johannesson) while on the tribe’s annual hunt for bison and ends up teaming up with an injured wolf as they learn to trust and care each other on his journey home to his tribe and family (Leonor Varela, Natassia Malthe, et al.) by following the stars.

“CRAZY RICH ASIANS” (PG-13) [SOME SUGGESTIVE CONTENT AND LANGUAGE.] — When a spirited, beautiful, ChineseAmerican economics professor (Constance Wu), who teaches at NYU and was raised by a single mother (Tan Kheng Hua), and her handsome businessman boyfriend (Henry Golding) head to Singapore from New York City to attend his friend’s upcoming elaborate nuptials in this wacky, colorful, intermittently funny, unoriginal, 121-minute romantic comedy based on Kevin Kwan’s novel and highlighted by striking panoramic city shots and stunning high fashion, she learns that his family (Lisa Lu, Gemma Chan, Ronny Chieng, Remy Hii, Nico Santos, Victoria Loke, et al.) is extremely wealthy, shallow, and judgmental and his snobbish, straitlaced, domineering, traditional mother (Michelle Yeoh) feels she is not good enough for her son.
