Longtime Fair concessionaire hits on new concept BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

When the Great Minnesota Get-Together opens Aug. 24, a new shop-eat-sip area with a White Bear connection will welcome Fair goers. Called the Veranda, the area is on the west side of the Grandstand’s upper level. It features vendors who showcase vintage, up-cycled handmade and made-in-Minnesota goods. One of those vendors is a White Bear Lake couple who consider themselves true foodies.

Bryan Enloe has been selling pizzas at fairs and carnivals since he was 14. When he married Jennie in 2012, she pitched right in, hitting the road with the pizza wagon during fair season. Now the two are ditching the pizza for a new concept at the State Fair: The Hideaway Speakeasy. “It has a prohibition-era theme,” explained Jennie. Not your traditional Fair food, menu items have names like The Swing-Dancer, The Goodfella and The Bootlegger. There

are shareables like Mobster’s Caviar, Bugsy’s Berry & Cheese Plate and Capone’s Crostini, as well as craft beer and Minnesota wine. A Specialty Hooch called Cotton Candy Bubble Trouble is sparkling wine with fresh spun pink cotton candy. Jennie thought they needed something fun for the dames. They had to relinquish the pizza stand to get the restaurant. Minnesota State Fair rules say you can’t have two, Bryan said. SEE THE HIDEAWAY, PAGE 8A

Election for School Board members, levy renewal announced BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Four seats are up for election this fall on the White Bear Lake Area Schools Board. Two current members are on the ballot — Kim Chapman and Don Mullin. Two more seats will open up due to the retirements of Chair Janet Newberg and Vice Chair George Kimball. New candidates are Deborah Beloyed, Jessica Ellison, Jill Engwer and Angela Thompson. Also on the ballot will be a request for a referendum levy renewal for the next 10 years. The total levy in 2019 would be about $14.3 million, or about $1,500 per pupil, the same pupil amount as the current levy. The current operating levy is annually adjusted by an inflation factor as provided by the Minnesota Department of Education; the proposed operating levy would maintain that annual adjustment. The 2017 existing levy is $13.7 million and will be $14.1 million in 2018.

The renewal would have no negative tax impact, said Tim Wald, assistant superintendent for finance and operations. In fact, due to the current trend of increasing property values and increasing enrollment, property owners would actually see a slight decrease in taxes for first year of the renewed referendum levy, said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak. For example, in 2018 a $250,000 home would pay an estimated $443. If the levy is renewed by voters, the same home would be expected to pay $437 in 2019. This is due to projected enrollment growth being spread out over projected property value growth, Kazmierczak explained. “We are not necessarily touting that it is a tax decrease, we are just saying there is no increase in taxes as a result,” Kazmierczak said. “We are renewing an existing levy. We are not seeking new money.” The levy is currently 15 percent of the district’s budget. SEE SCHOOL BOARD, PAGE 8A

BUSINESS BRIEFS No adult beverages at pizza bar Olives Fresh Pizza Bar on Washington Square has lost its liquor license. The city of White Bear Lake was required to suspend owner Jason Bailey's license late last month after receiving a letter from the state that the business was delinquent in its tax payments. According to City Manager Ellen Richter, a business that falls behind on taxes gets on a no-ship list. Usually businesses have stocked up and get off the list before it's suspended, but in this case, the situation was not remedied in a timely manner and Olive's license was pulled. “We have no control over that,” Richter said. Attempts to reach Bailey were not successful. The city manager said Bailey is trying to keep Olive's open without serving liquor while he works through repayment. “We are optimistic he'll get this fixed,” she said. “It's a great business and we want him to succeed.” Bailey also co-owns Taco's Fresh Sports + Cantina in Mahtomedi.

New Pilates studio holds open house Club Pilates opens in White Bear Lake Aug. 28.

Sushi bar closed for good The Red Lantern sushi bar on Fourth Street is definitely closed. City Manager Ellen Richter said the owner, Wei Wang, has made a decision to put his energy and resources into his St. Paul restaurant. The city has a couple of businesses interested in the location, which has been some kind of restaurant for years. “We're figuring out what will work best in that spot,” said Richter. “It will reopen.” All she would say is the interested parties are food oriented but with different concepts.

OBITUARY NOTICES

Sandra Nice Sandra Nice, 79, of Garrison, New York, died on July 21, 2017, at her home, surrounded by her family. Born Dec. 24, 1937, she was the daughter of Richard E. and Adelaide (Adamson) Smith. She grew up in White Bear Lake, where she learned to water ski at the Bald Eagle Water Ski Club and graduated in 1956 from White Bear Lake Area High School. Sandra studied fashion design at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, and received a scholarship to study fashion with Christian Dior in Paris. While there, she lived at the Alliance Française while also working as a model. It was in a French class at the Alliance Française that she met Don Nice, a native of Woodlake, California, who was studying art in Europe. He later recalled that her sense of humor and down-to-earth approach drew him in. The couple was married Aug. 11, 1959, in White Bear Lake, where Sandra began a career designing dresses. The family moved to New York in 1964, where she studied fashion. From her early days in Paris, Sandra was forever passionate about all things French, studying the language and culture, and spending extended time in the country. After moving with Don and their two children to Garrison in 1969, Sandra taught at both the Garrison and Haldane elementary schools for decades. She was a

Tove Benti Dierssen

tireless volunteer for many institutions, including serving on the board of the Desmond-Fish Library in Garrison for 12 years. In 2008, she received the library’s Patricia Adams Award for Community Service. Her love of trees and nature led her to establish playgrounds and plant trees throughout Garrison. A longtime advocate of early learning, she cofounded the Garrison Children’s Education Fund in 1998 and served on its board for 10 years. After retiring as a public school teacher in 1997, she ran a day care, Nice Care, from her Garrison home. An avid reader and world traveler, Sandra devoted her life to teaching, the care of her family and the Garrison community. She was known by all as a deeply passionate pursuer of what she thought was right and important, giving generously of herself and her spirit to others. Besides her husband, she is survived by her children, Brian Nice and Leslie Nice-Heanue, both of Garrison; four grandchildren, Samantha Heanue, Macdara Heanue, Devin Heanue and Sarah Margaret Nice; and her brother, Richard E. Smith Jr. (Debra). Her sister, Barbara Morancey, died before her. A memorial service and celebration of her life will be held at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Garrison, New York at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9. Memorial contributions may be made to the Desmond-Fish Library.

Tove Benti Dierssen, beloved wife of Gunther Dierssen and mother of four daughters, died peacefully in her sleep on August 18, 2017, in her White Bear Lake home. She was 81. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Tove was a professional ballroom dancer and instructor in the '50s and '60s in Denmark and the U.S. She spread knowledge and love about the Danish culture through her sparkling personality and service to the community as instructor of the folk dancing group “the Danish Delights” for 20 years, Minnesota editor of the Danish Pioneer newspaper, board member of the Rebild Society, and prominent member of the Danish-American Center in the Twin Cities, the White Bear Women’s Club, Book Club, Pumpkin Club, Mahjong Club, and as a Weight Watcher’s Leader. Foremost to Tove, however, was her dedication to her family. She and Gunther quipped about their marriage: “We were immigrants. We needed some children so we could walk around the tree at Christmas.” She is survived by her husband, four daughters, Annette Jagger (Ted), Rikke Dierssen-Morice (Pierre), Christina Dierssen and Heidi Dierssen, nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Early signs proposed for trail on the way BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — Advocates want people in the communities surrounding White Bear Lake to know that a multiuse trail is really coming. Lake Links Association members asked City Council for the OK to install temporary signs within the outline of Mahtomedi's portion of the trail until permanent improvements are made. After a short round of bargaining about the number of signs in the outline, council unanimously approved the interim signs at its Aug. 15 meeting. “I'm not crazy about signs — they take away from the natural beauty,” Councilwoman Lael Ramaley told Lake Links Washington County Co-Chair Steve Wolgamot. “I'd like you all to think about not having a lot of signs. I think people know they're walking on a trail.” When Ramaley said she was not a fan of a sign every 15 feet, Wolgamot assured her that there would be no more than five signs in total. “I'm thinking about two or three,” she said. When asked if the Lake Links Association approved the sign design, Wolgamot said that the green and white signs were not permanent. There will be different, smaller signs, he said. “An amateur sign designer who lives at my house designed these interim signs,” he said. “We'd like to use these on an interim basis for a year or two, then a much smaller 6-by-8-inch sign for the permanent signs.” Councilman Joel Schilling recommended consistency in the signs, so that all the trail communities would be looking at the same sign, to avoid confusion for users of the trail. In Mahtomedi, the permanent route is expected to follow Briarwood Avenue, Streetcar Trail to Neptune, Mahtomedi Avenue to Ash Street, and Wildwood Beach Road and Birchwood Roads to the Birchwood boundary line. Although the Parks Commission recommended approval, some of its members were concerned about road work scheduled for 2018 and 2019. If road work does happen, Lake Links will ask to install signs only along Streetcar Trail from Street-

car Park to Maple Street. Streetcar Park is located at the corner of Briarwood Avenue and Quail Street. Wolgamot told council that the day before the meeting, he was out driving on Highway 96 and saw people working. He then drove into a park and found people with chainsaws cutting buckthorn because the Lake Links trail was to be coming through. “So, when people ask when the trail will start — it has started,” Wolgamot said.

Passwords and security

e have all heard the theory for cyber security that we need to change our passwords every 30 days. For years I have been burdened with logins and passwords for work software, banking, cell phones, security systems, on line periodical subscriptions, streaming music services, the kids’ report cards and even bike locks, just to name a few. It would seem impossible for anyone to remember unique passwords for every account and service that requires one, which is probably why the most common password is still 123456. Recently I read a column in the Wall Street Journal about how Publisher’s the password rules have changed. Over the past several years, the View recommendation has been that passwords needed to be more Carter Johnson than eight characters and include both upper and lower case letters, numbers and b d a symbol. The new recommendation is longer phrases or words, and it comes from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Their studies show that a password of four random words is more difﬁcult for hackers to crack than a shorter collection of eight random letters, numbers and symbols. It’s a good reminder and a relief for the next time we are asked to create or change a password.

Summer vacation Our goal was to find simplicity within half a day’s drive; something walkable, charming, kid-friendly and affordable. Summer was nearly over and we hadn’t taken a family vacation so we settled on Door County, Wisconsin. Amy called a friend, Lisa Coy, who has visited Door County several times, for recommendations on where to stay and what to do. We found many hotels were booked, and landed at the Landmark Resort in Egg Harbor. The standard room was perfect for our family- a one-bedroom suite with a pullout couch in the living area, full kitchen, and reasonably-priced. The resort is up high overlooking Green Bay. It has indoor and outdoor pools, an indoor hot tub and activities such as tennis, basketball, and shuffleboard. Our agenda the first day included a stop at The Farm outside of Sturgeon Bay, where we fed baby goats from bottles and interacted with farm animals like cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, horses and kittens. Dinner was at Fred and Fuzzy’s, known for fish and chips and cherry margaritas. The kids had a blast skipping rocks at this relaxed waterfront restaurant with a beach bar vibe. It was fun sitting next to Sam Kane who had just proposed to Jennie Secora on the dock. A game of mini-golf followed at The Red Putter were Amy won a free game with a hole-in-one on number 6. The next day we spotted goats on the roof of Al Johnson’s Swedish restaurant in Sister Bay. The lines were long but we grabbed a spot at the counter and enjoyed traditional Swedish pancakes accompanied by Swedish meatballs. We toured Peninsula State Park and played for hours at the beach. We wished we had a trailer to camp and our bikes to explore the lighthouse and cliffs at the park. We went into town for pizza at the Red Tomato and drove back into the park that evening for a performance of the Northern Sky Theater in the outdoor amphitheater. The third day’s adventure began with lunch at PC Junction, an old train-themed restaurant where your food is served by a LGB model train. As we departed town, we took a chance at cliff-jumping into Lake Michigan at Cave Point Park (this was my highlight, as it was exhilarating, free and tuckered out the kids for the five-hour drive home). Overall, our short time in Door County was fun and fit the bill for our family’s summer trip.

Local student inspires bipartisan policy change

here is no doubt that the Minnesota Legislature is home to plenty of healthy disagreements. The problems facing the state of Minnesota are complex and fi nding solutions that live up to our shared Minnesota values can be difficult. But many times, members fi nd common ground on a variety of issues, and together support common-sense This is Legislator solutions. what happened when we passed Lingo a major infrastructure bill to Peter Fischer begin construction on hundreds of public works projects across Minnesota, including repairs to the Hugo-White Bear Lake short line, repairs to Century College, and expanding the Lake Links trail around White Bear Lake. But some issues don’t get headlines, and sometimes they start at a local level. Last year, I was contacted by Davis Grilley, a local high school student, who was excited to cast his fi rst vote. Because he would be away from his polling location on election day, he had to submit an absentee ballot. When Mr. Grilley realized he wouldn’t be getting the iconic red “I Voted” sticker, he was disappointed he

wouldn’t be part of this tradition of voting. This bright student met with me and suggested that the law should be clariﬁed to allow election administrators to send the red “I Voted” sticker with absentee ballots. Minnesota is known for our outstanding election turnouts, and I agreed that including the sticker in absentee ballots is a simple way for everyone who votes to be a part of the same traditions we’ve enjoyed for generations – without increasing costs. I drafted the proposed legislation, which is called a bill, making it clear that election ofﬁcials could choose to send out the red “I Voted” stickers with absentee ballots. I approached members of the elections committee about this idea and they agreed to be co-authors on the bill. I also asked the Republican chair of the elections committee if he would consider my bill – an important step, because the elections committee would decide if this proposal would continue. The committee did not have any concerns with the bill and it was included with other election proposals that received strong bi-partisan support in a larger “omnibus” bill, which is just a larger bill that contains many other bills that all relate to each other. After the elections omnibus bill was approved by the elections

committee, the entire House of Representatives held a debate and considered if the elections omnibus bill should be approved. Thankfully, in Minnesota there is a longstanding tradition that any changes to election laws should have very strong bipartisan support, and the 2017 elections bill was no different. While the House of Representatives was working on an election omnibus bill, the Minnesota Senate was doing the same thing. Because the House and Senate elections bills were different, both the House and Senate leadership picked several members from each chamber to work out the differences and agree to a compromise bill. During negations, the Senate also agreed to the “I Voted” sticker bill, and it was included in the ﬁ nal agreement. Both the House and Senate debated and passed the compromised elections bill. It was sent to Gov. Mark Dayton, who approved the omnibus elections bill and signed it into law. While it was a long journey, it was great to see an original idea from Mr. Grilley take form and be considered by the legislature and then signed into law – I was just thankful that I could help make it happen. Rep. Peter Fischer represents District 43A in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Start training for shortest marathon It’s time to start training for the sixth annual Gloria’s Shortest Marathon. You only have one month to prepare to run or walk one block, and your donation will benefit the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf. On Saturday, Sept. 23, at 11 a.m. you will have the opportunity to run a marathon and take it off your bucket list and brag to your friends. Walkers, strollers and wheelchairs are welcome. In the past five years this marathon has raised over $51,000 to assist those less fortunate who need temporary assistance to put healthy food on their tables. Last year alone, we raised $13,290. All T-shirts and goodies are paid for by our generous sponsors, so that all money collected goes directly to the food shelf. Let's all help fight this war on poverty. The first 300 participants who pre-register by Sept. 15 will receive a T-shirt that reads “I Finished the Food Shelf Marathon” (with no mention it was only one block long), two White Castles from Mueller Mortuary for a carb load before the race, a bottle of water from Cub halfway down the block, and at the finish line you can get Caribou coffee plus doughnut holes from Grandma’s Bakery and an ice cream bar from The Street Treat Peddler, Gary LaRue. On Friday, Sept. 22, from 4 to 6 p.m. you can pick up shirts at the food shelf. There will be an open house with tours and food from Mike DeWeese. Shirts will also be available on Saturday before the marathon. At 10:30 a.m. Sept. 23, we will gather at Bald Eagle Avenue and Third Street to run all the way to Second Street. Come alone, bring your family, or gather up a team for this fundraising event. There is parking at the church on Third Street or at the school on Second Street. Our mayor, Jo Emerson, will lead us off again. To pre-register, contact: www.whitebearfoodshelf.giv. sh/40ed Cost is $35 per adult or $15 for children. You may register in person at the food shelf. Gloria Carpenter, Organizer White Bear Lake

Pedestrians intentions often unclear I want to extend my sympathies to Helen Witwicke regarding the citation she received in the pedestrian crossing “sting” operation on July 17. But in all fairness, since her letter gives only one side of the story, I would be interested in hearing the police department’s side of how this operation was conducted. It’s often unclear what a pedestrian’s intentions are at a crosswalk. More often than not, he or she is standing a few feet back from the curb or edge of the road, and not in the crosswalk. Are they yielding to traffic, waiting for a clear opportunity to cross, or maybe waiting for a streetcar? On the other hand, there are the bold individuals who step out without checking traffic, almost daring a driver to hit them. I commend the police department on their effort to improve pedestrian safety and enforce the laws, but if they wanted to do something really worthwhile, I would suggest they begin by enforcing the laws regarding traffic lights. I would be willing to bet that on any given normal work weekday, between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., more than 100 vehicles run the red lights at the intersection of Highways 96 and 61. I would be further willing to bet that 75 percent of these are vehicles traveling east on Highway 96 and turning north onto Highway 61, and a substantial number of the remaining 25 percent are

drivers traveling north on 61 and turning west onto 96. As a motorcycle rider, these people scare me as much as drunk drivers. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Minnesota statute regarding running a red light basically says that if you don’t get completely through the intersection before the light turns red, you are considered to have run the red light, warranting a citation. And kudos to Rob Odegaard for his comments in the same Press edition about his experience at the crossing at Highway 96 near Ramsey Beach. John Parenteau White Bear Lake

Kindness of strangers Sending out a great big thank you to Anna and siblings from White Bear Lake. You were at the Tamarack Nature Center on Friday, Aug. 11. I was there with my young grandson who has Down Syndrome. You spent so much time making his day at the center very enjoyable. Your parents can be very proud of all of you. You are awesome. Thank you.

Alternatives to lawn chemicals I found the article about fertilizing a lawn by Kim Sullivan to be troubling. A conscientious landowner should be encouraged to think about the adverse affects that chemicals can have on our environment. Invariably, the chemicals applied to lawns find their way into our water systems. Runoff from rain or sprinkling systems pollute and contaminate our streams, ponds, lakes and rivers. The chemicals applied to lawns are not self-limiting. I speak from personal experience. My wife and I built a townhouse on a lot with a beautiful pond. The pond was clean and teaming with wildlife. Our townhouse association (Weston Woods) has been applying fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides with little regard for the adverse consequences. Ten years later, the pond is choked with toxic algae growth. It looks and smells terrible. I would gladly give up a little green grass to have a clear, clean and healthy pond and all that comes with an ecologically friendly environment. Please consider a different mindset when giving advice. We only have this one Earth, so let’s treat it with respect, not chemicals. David E. Wolff DDS White Bear Township

Thank you to driver for assistance I'd like to thank the driver on Koehler Road who immediately pulled over to help when he saw me stumble and fall while carrying my grandson. It knocked the wind out of me, but he was reassuring and calming until I was breathing again. Thank you for your quick response. Kathy Pittelko Vadnais Heights

Self government vs. tyranny An hour ago (on Aug. 17), I passed a gentleman standing at Fourth Street and Hwy. 61 holding a sign “Impeach the Nazi Trump.” While I have no issue with the

person’s need or desire to speak publicly concerning the week’s prime news event, I do question the message. First, if by “impeach” he means the formal effort to remove someone from office, then he’s speaking to the wrong crowd. He should be urging people to contact their duly elected representative, as only the House can bring articles of impeachment. But even that poses a difficulty, as people can’t be impeached merely for alleged beliefs, but rather for acting criminally on those beliefs. At present, there is not one scintilla of evidence of any criminal act relative to the aforementioned charge (even the charge of a Nazi faith is suspect). The place to remove people from office based upon beliefs alone is the ballot box. Further, while the charge of “Nazi” is loaded, it is unfortunately too often without substance. Most people can’t articulate a Nazi faith, only some of its pernicious effects, and would be hard-pressed to associate that faith consistently with present circumstances. It becomes nothing more than name-calling. It is believed to have more political weight than using, say, “moron” or “idiot.” Interestingly, the accusation of “Nazi” has greater social effect than “Communist” or “Maoist.” Yet Mao and Stalin are arguably just as murderous as Hitler, if not more so. I prefer that we would gather around principled and substantive discussion, rather than splintering into tribalistic corners hurling epithets. The former is self-government. The latter invites tyranny. James Nash White Bear Lake

Relay for a reason Thank you to our leadership team for another great year of White Bear Lake Relay for Life. Thank you to the White Bear Press for great community coverage of this event. I know why I Relay: At a recent oncology appointment, I asked my doctor why he orders certain tests, because I don’t plan to do chemotherapy. He looked me in the eye and said, “Mary, around every corner there are new treatments, research and education that do work.” It is because of events and supportive communities like the White Bear Relay for Life that these advances and hope are both possible. Thank you. Mary Trumper White Bear Lake

Young Life thanks community On Saturday, June 24, the first annual Young Life/Rudy's 5K Run/Walk was held. The outpouring of support from our community to help students reach their goal of earning and saving in order to go to Castaway summer camp was amazing. More than 35 students have been working toward this goal since the first of the year and will be able to go, in part, due to the generosity of our community. We would like to extend a special "thanks" to the many runners, walkers, volunteers, and corporate sponsors that gave of their time, talent and treasure to make this event a success. Keep an eye out next year around Manitou Days for the second annual 5K. You won't want to miss it. Alex Atkinson Area Director White Bear Lake-Mahtomedi Young Life

Man gets 7 years in prison for Vadnais Heights woman's death BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

A man charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving the death of Vadnais Heights woman Michele Newell last August was sentenced to seven years in prison after he pleaded guilty in Fargo Aug. 17. Timothy Barr, of Lakeville, was scheduled for a trial Sept. 6 but the case was resolved earlier through a joint recommendation from the defense and prosecution, said North Dakota State Prosecutor Tristan Jones Van de Streek. A second felony charge, manslaughter, was dropped. Charges were filed in Cass County District Court after Newell's remains were found in North Dakota in December. Barr led investigators to Newell's remains and admitted to accidentally running her over. “It's a difficult case,” said Jones Van de Streek. “We have to go where the facts take us, where the evidence takes us. The only evidence we had was words of Tim Barr when he said he ran over her.” The maximum punishment for the charge was 10 years in prison. Jones Van de Streek said he thought seven years with two years of probation and one year suspended was “fair” considering the evidence they had. In December, authorities found portions of Newell's remains and later other body parts were reported by locals in the area, which would make sense given the

windswept plains of North Dakota, he said. “We didn't find anything that would contradict the statement we had from him,” Jones Van de Streek said. When Barr pleaded guilty to the accidental death in

court, he expressed remorse. “He indicated that he was remorseful and expressed an apology to the victim and the victim's family,” Jones Van de Streek noted. Newell was last seen and heard from on Aug. 29. She apparently left her Vadnais Heights home and went north with Barr that week. According to an informant, Barr said he was using drugs and became angry when she had taken some of his dope, according to court documents. He then allegedly backed up his vehicle, not knowing she had hidden beneath it, and killed her. A resident in Wheatland, North Dakota reported seeing Barr and Newell Aug. 30 after news came out about the missing woman in September, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed in North Dakota. Cass County Sheriff’s deputies and North Dakota Highway Patrol officers also had contact with Barr while he was lying in a ditch on private property. Barr was arrested in Minnesota in September. Barr had previously been charged in Minnesota, but the charges were dropped in October due to jurisdictional issues because a body had not been found. Barr has 10 prior felony convictions, many of which are drug-related. Vadnais Heights Editor Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS

Ramsey County preparing for 911 texting BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — The Ramsey County Emergency Communications dispatch center in St. Paul is preparing to roll out 911 texting in 2018. “We are working on text to 911,” said Supervisor Joe Dillenburg while giving a tour at the Ramsey County Law Enforcement Center. “Shortly after the first of the year, we will have that here.” Only a few dispatch centers across the country currently have the service, which helps those who are hearing impaired be able to communicate what they need. The 911 center is the largest in the region; the closest larger center is in Chicago, Dillenberg noted. “We handle about a million calls a year in this center,” Dillenburg said. It’s 23 percent busier in the summer. The center also has bilingual employees and access to a 24-hour interpretation service. Another new advancement the center hopes to have in the future is the possibility of sending photos and videos to the 911 center via text, so squad cars would know right away exactly what to look for. Dillenburg said he is not sure when that feature would be coming. Every police department and fire department in the county except for the White Bear Lake police and fire departments uses the dispatch center to receive calls, Dillenburg said. White Bear Lake has a small dispatch center in the police station on Highway 61. Ramsey County does handle White Bear Lake's radio system, however. The dispatch center is a large room with telecommunicators for police in one area and fire in another. Telecommunicators send information to dispatchers in another corner, who can send help right away while telecommunicators get more details, Dillenberg said. At each desk are several screens where telecommunicators and dispatchers can see the status of phone calls and a map that shows the location of responding public safety vehicles. When on their phones, a stick with a red light on the top shines brightly. Ramsey County has a backup emergency communications center in Arden Hills in the case of natural disaster or emergency. The center is hiring, Dillenberg said. The job requires four weeks of class training and four weeks of on-the-job training. The salary starts at about $40,000, including built-in overtime. Vadnais Heights Editor Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:

Her opponent, age 20, was booked into the Ramsey County Jail on a charge of fifth-degree assault. • A pair of young women shopping at Walmart but skipping the part where you pay for your items,

were collared as they left the store on Aug. 14 with $200 worth of ill-gotten goods. The 23-year-old and 21-year-old were both cited for theft and released. • A felony theft occurred at Walmart Aug. 15 when a wallet was taken from a purse in a cart belonging to an 81-year-old female shopper.

He reported it but the case was termed by deputies to be “non-workable.” • A 35-year-old Zimmerman, Minnesota man cashed one too many bad checks recently at the Bald Eagle gas station in the 5900 block of Hwy. 61. “One is one too many,” an investigator noted before mailing the suspect a citation for theft in excess of $200. • Torn between her sweet tooth and the necessity of a healthy diet, the female shoplifter thought “Let’s do both,” and made it out the door of Cub Foods Aug. 12 with about $40 worth of cake and vegetables. • A television valued at $250 went missing from an unlocked camper parked in the 2500 block of Fourth Street the evening of Aug 13. • A deputy saw a vehicle stopped on the side of the road in the 5300 block of Bald Eagle Boulevard the evening of Aug. 14 with its emergency lights flashing, so he stopped to see if the occupants needed assistance. Narcotics in plain view inside the vehicle led to a citation for the 23-year-old male driver. • A truck was broken into overnight Aug. 14 in the 5000 block of Lakeview Avenue. Construction equipment including a grinder and valued at a total of $700, did not survive the night.

THE HIDEAWAY: This State Fair food does not come on a stick FROM PAGE 1A

The Press chatted with the Enloes over the phone since they were in different locales. Jennie was at the Iowa State Fair selling their pizza and Bryan was putting finishing touches on The Hideaway. They consider themselves extremely fortunate to get the spot, knowing how competitive it is to get a Fair food license. The Hideaway venture started when the Fair concessions office sent a request for proposals to several vendors and restaurants in the area. “They talked about the new veranda project and set a basic theme for an eclectic, shabby chic area,” noted Jennie. When the fair called saying the Enloes were in, “we were blown away,” she recalled. “It’s such an honor. We kept looking at each other saying ‘this can’t be happening.’” Bryan recalled the phone call from the Fair concessions manager. “He said ‘I have good news and bad news. The bad news is a lot of people apply. The good news is we chose you.’ My heart stopped for a moment,” he said. Jennie thinks Bryan’s 25 years in concessions at state fairs across the country helped in the decision. Bryan attributes the award to their speakeasy concept and a clever story Jennie cooked up about a fictional bootlegger who found a hideaway in the underbelly of the 110-year-old Grandstand. She submitted the story with their proposal. Both agree the concept isn’t for everyone, but they feel the Fair will benefit from the unique menu. Construction started June 20 to build the speakeasy. The bar itself is 76 feet long. The Veranda’s balcony also provides patio seating and iconic State Fair views overlooking Adventure Park and West End Market. Hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. If their name sounds familiar, it’s because the Enloes own another business in White Bear Township: the Wishing Tree Play Cafe. They opened the children’s indoor play space, cafe and party destination on Meadowlands Drive behind Cub Foods a year ago.

State Fair concessionaire Bryan Enloe finishes work on The Hideaway sign days before the Aug. 24 opening. The prohibition-era themed restaurant is the brainchild of Bryan and his wife Jennie, who answered a request for proposals for the Fair’s new Veranda.

“We think families need something like the play cafe,” noted Jennie. “We take care of parents so they can take care of their kids.” The Enloes should know: they have five children between the two of them, all boys. They met in south Texas when Jennie bought a piece of pizza from Bryan. “It was so good, I had to meet the guy and thank him. I never thought that would happen in a million years. I tell my parents I fell in love with a carney.” Bryan’s parents are both teachers who traveled the fair circuit every summer, always stopping in Minnesota. They parked their equipment in a Hugo friend’s backyard. “That’s how I fell in love with the area,” he said. “I looked at a house in White Bear Lake out of the blue and thought ‘this is perfect.’ I wouldn’t live anywhere else.”

Bryan and Jennie Enloe were married in 2012. They have five boys between them, ages 3 to 20, and live in White Bear Lake.

SCHOOL BOARD: November ballot will include referendum renewal FROM PAGE 1A

In the coming months, the district will host informational community meetings about the local operating levy renewal, district staff have said. Additionally, district leaders will present district and levy-related information to various groups, including municipality boards, parent organizations and community groups. The presentation schedule began this week, when the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce endorsed the district’s local operating levy renewal at its Aug. 17 meeting. A survey commissioned by the board in the spring of 2017 showed strong community support for the local operating levy renewal, with more than 80 percent of residents expressing support of the local operating levy renewal that will not

increase current taxes. “Strong schools are the crown jewels of any community, and the White Bear Lake Area Schools are strong today thanks to the continued support of our community,” said Newberg. “We will ask the community to renew that support on Nov. 7 to ensure our students continue to receive the top-notch education they need and deserve.”

In other action, the School Board: • Approved its share of about $26,000 in the Northeast Metropolitan Intermediate School District 916’s long-term facility maintenance budget for the next two school years. Intermediate school districts became eligible for long term facility maintenance (LTFM) revenue beginning with the 2016-

2017 school year. This revenue program replaced the intermediate health and safety levy that had been in place prior to the change. • Approved a partnership with the MacPhail Center for Music for the 2017 to 2018 school year in the amount of about $26,000. The district has had a McPhail program at Birch Lake Elementary School since 2006. The partnership includes the following: group piano lessons during the school day for students in second through fi fth grade; a specialized music program provided weekly to students in kindergarten and fi rst grade; and violin lessons for students in third and fourth grade. MacPhail also offers student lesson scholarships. • Approved three equipment grants

applied for and received by the district’s nutrition services department. The department received a National School Lunch Program Equipment Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for about $25,000 to purchase updated salad bar serving line equipment for Central Middle School. It also received a Winston Industries Equipment Grant from Winston Industries and the School Nutrition Foundation for about $52,000 to provide 10 pieces of Winston Industries hot holding equipment. It also received a Super School Breakfast Grant from the MN Super Bowl Legacy Fund and Midwest Dairy for $10,000 to fund implementation of school breakfast outside of the cafeteria at North and South Campus.

City Hall’s front entry beautified An aging City Hall received some much-needed repairs and a landscape do-over this summer. Public Works Director Mark Burch said the project cost $64,000 and included window replacements, planter repairs, drainage improvements, concrete and new plantings for the 29-year-old municipal building. Local contractors were used for much of the project. Atrium windows were replaced by White Bear Glass in the front entrance, wood benches were restored by AmKat Construction, the decorative concrete patio was done by Pace Concrete and interior painting was performed by Martin Painting. Drainage components were provided by Paul the Plumber and electrical work was completed by LeTourneau Electric. The Public Works department installed the irrigation system and landscaping.

Correctional officer: Falls in love with jail BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — Spending all day in jail with inmates is a dream career for one Ramsey County Sheriff's Office correctional officer. “You get to know them,” said Correctional Officer Ayda Garcia, opening a heavy dark blue door leading to a tan cement-block hallway in the Ramsey County Adult Detention Center while giving a tour to a group of visitors. “Who we see here is not who they are as an individual,” Garcia said. Garcia, of Hugo, said she loves watching people change from the time they enter the jail to the time they leave. She knew one female inmate for a year-and-a-half.

“I originally wanted to be a cop but I just fell in love with the jail.” Ayda Garcia Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office Correctional Officer “You get to see their growth,” she noted. “I originally wanted to be a cop but I just fell in love with the jail.” Garcia has worked at the jail for three years. Standing in the booking room, where people often wait six to eight hours in chairs or cells to be released for offenses such as DWIs (driving while under the influence) or to be housed deeper within the jail, Garcia explained what it is like to work in a weapons-free environment. Correctional officers have only their hands, a taser and mace should trouble ensue. All officers also lock their guns at the entrance to the jail when dropping off people they arrest. “You need to know how to talk to people,” she said. “If we have to go hands on, we have to go hands on—it’s part of the job.” It’s not as dangerous in the jail as people outside imagine, she noted. Inmates are usually compliant when they need to be moved around, she said. There are no buttons in the elevator, which is controlled by an operator in a control station that watches videos throughout the jail. The average stay in the jail is one to three days, said Deputy Brian Luna, who is a recruitment coordinator for the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. Some people who are arrested for DWIs have an initial hearing in a courtroom in the same building and are then released, he said. For those who are going to be housed in the jail, individual cells in the orientation unit consist of a small padded bunk and a simple toilet and sink with a mirror. Inmates receive two sheets, one blanket, a towel, face cloth, soap and pencil and paper, Garcia said. If family members send money, inmates can buy snacks from a canteen, but

meals are delivered regularly on trays to cells. From the orientation unit, inmates are sent to various housing areas based on what officers learned about them and the charges against them. They want to make sure not to house opposing gang members near each other. Some housing units contain bunk bed cells. The jail can house 500 people. Garcia said her favorite unit to work in is the prime unit, where inmates who show initiative in rebuilding their lives take classes, receive counseling and have more freedom. The Ramsey County Adult Detention Center is part of the Ramsey County Law Enforcement Center on Grove Street in St. Paul. There are several courtrooms where initial hearings are held, as well as the county's 911 emergency communications dispatch center and administrative offices.

Sheriff 's Office fulﬁlls varied roles across county The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office has about 200 sworn officers and about 400 total workers, said Randy Gustafson, public communications coordinator. The office fulfi lls several roles within the county. It staffs the Ramsey County Jail and Ramsey

County courthouses and it also performs water patrol for the entire county. The office also patrols seven Ramsey County cities that do not have their own police department — Arden Hills, Gem Lake, Little Canada, North Oaks, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township. That is about 75,000 people. There are two holding cells at the patrol station in Arden Hills, but all those who are arrested for DWIs need to be taken to the jail in St. Paul within four hours, said Sgt. Kevin Otto. The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office is currently at a “record pace for hiring,” said Sheriff Jack Serier, who was appointed to the post this winter. The total number of workers is expected to be 430 by the end of the year, he noted. Staff often move around to various positions. Prior to joining the training unit downtown, Luna was most recently a school resource officer at elementary schools in Shoreview and Arden Hills. He has also been a patrol officer and has staffed the courtrooms.

Missing something? Patrol station houses stolen items, case evidence The patrol station also houses an evidence room, which is chock-full of stuff stacked on shelves. Some of it is stolen goods, such as backpacks, yard equipment — even a tombstone. Items stay in the room for 90 days and some forever, Otto said. Homicide evidence stays forever. Some items stay until a case is resolved. Some items are eventually auctioned or destroyed if not claimed. The office regularly holds an auction for stolen and missing bikes. Otto said it would be easier to fi nd the owners if they registered their serial numbers. Some items can’t be reused after they have been tampered with. “Every gun you see here on this end rack is going to be cut up today,” said Mike Nelson, who works in the evidence room. The weapons will be burned and recycled. There were also eight 55-gallon barrels of narcotics waiting to be burned, which represent about 12 months' worth of drug seizures within the office’s seven patrol cities, said Nelson and his coworker Lue Yang. A separate room is full of hundreds of manila envelopes containing drugs, on fi le for pending cases. “All those U-Haul boxes are fi lled with marijuana,” Nelson said, indicating a stack of 10 boxes, each 6 cubic feet in volume, outside the drug room. They didn't fit in the room. They all relate to one pending case, Yang said. They were found in Dakota County, but a Ramsey County Sheriff's Office narcotics investigator worked on the case.

Charitable couple cook up ‘Fed and Wed’ Community members may recall the firefighter who walked from Duluth three years ago with two firefighter buddies to buy a special ATV for the White Bear Lake Fire Department. He’s also the guy who helped fill a truck with toilet paper for the White Bear Area emergency Food Shelf. Well, Jeff Loeks is at it again. Loeks and his fiancee, Racheal Haasken, have run “Special Teams Charities” for more than five years. The charity was formed to support firefighters and emergency medical personnel, law enforcement and nursing. Members perform various projects throughout the year, as well as one big event each fall. This has included Loeks 150-mile walk from Duluth, taking a trip across the state to recognize 42 Police Departments for what they do, food drives and collecting children’s toys for various emergency departments across the Twin Cities. They also started “Barely Used Sports,” which gives out sports equipment to children at no cost. When Jeff “finally” decided to ask Racheal to marry him, they both knew that it needed to be done in the name of charity. They are both transplants to White Bear Lake and have dedicated themselves to the new town they love so much. A pastor heard of their engagement, and wanted to give a donation of his own. He told the couple that he would donate his time to a ceremony if they could fill up a food truck for the food shelf. Loeks and Haasken were already planning on helping the food shelf with its “Kids Pack” program and saw this as the perfect situation and timing. So, on Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., they will accept donations to fill up a truck by Railroad Park in down-

town White Bear Lake. If the truck fills up, they plan to hold their ceremony at 6 p.m. sharp. They are inviting anyone who wants to attend to be present. The pastor has held strong to his commitment that the truck must be full. Haasken is admittedly worried, but the groomto-be feels confident as he has “seen the public come through for the food shelf before.” Loeks recalled the “Toilet Paper Drive” for the food shelf held at the same location. He vowed to not leave Railroad Park until a very large truck was full of toiletry items. What he thought would take days took less than 24 hours. Loeks says he is still in awe of people’s kindness. The couple hope to get a picture of every single person who donates as part of their wedding photo album. They also want to stress that every single person is invited to the ceremony.

For Loeks, a kind heart was always the most important thing for him to find in a partner. “I never could have imagined that I could find somebody as dedicated to helping others as Racheal,” he said. “For every crazy idea I have had, she has been right there helping me plan it. She is the kindest person I have ever known. It makes sense for us to do it in the name of helping others.” Haasken and Loeks have been together for five years, and each bring three children to the marriage. Loeks says he is fairly confident that they will be able to marry Sept. 9. And if they’re not able to fill the truck? “We will be grateful for what we are able to collect; we will set another date, and do that in the name of charity also. We’ll get it done.” Submitted

Mahtomedi High School has new entrance BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — When school starts in September, both high school and middle school students will have a safer route to class. Mahtomedi High School students will no longer enter the school at the blue and gold “Zephyrs” sign seen from Stillwater Road. Instead, they will enter where just middle-schoolers used to arrive for school — but with a stoplight and extended turn lanes. “It will be a more safe entrance,” said Superintendent Mark Larson. The driveway and parking lot reconstruction is expected to be mostly completed and usable Aug. 28, said Julie Osterbauer, supervisor of buildings and grounds. Construction began June 12 and was expected to reach the usable point earlier this summer, but rainy days and utility valve issues encountered on Stillwater Road delayed the project. Crews have been working six days a week until 9 p.m. to finish the work in time for the start of school. The pavement infrastructure around the high school and middle school was 40 years old, Osterbauer said. There were also safety and traffic issues with the entrance configurations. “With the high school entrance being so close to Hilton (Trail) we had mass traffic jams,” Osterbauer said. The district was able to get the county to agree to the installation of a stoplight at the middle school entrance a bit farther east on Stillwater Road if the district agreed to close the longtime high school entrance located very close to the stoplight at Hilton Trail.

So, the district combined the entrances; the access drive diverges a bit farther on within the property. The configuration actually creates more separation between the two buildings, Osterbauer said. Middle school buses and parents will drive north toward the tennis courts and then take a new route left to the middle school and then loop out near the high school. High school students who park in lots by the tennis courts will have a sidewalk on which to walk to the high school. A crossing guard will guide them over a section of road heading to the middle school. High school students who park in the west lot can follow the road on the south side of the building. The project was part of the district's two-year parking reconstruction project, which also included the district center and O.H. Anderson Elementary. The total estimated cost of the project is $8.1 million, said Bill Menozzi, director of business services. The configuration chosen was option M, said Larson. The district started with option A and considered many options before selecting the one it did. “We wanted to make it the best we could,” Osterbauer said. Several high school students who advocated at School Board meetings for keeping an outdoor classroom got their wish — the outdoor classroom is now sandwiched between two roads, an island of woods. Anderson Johnson and Associates was the civil engineering firm hired by the district; Peterson Companies is doing the construction.

LOOKING BACK Week of August 20 – August 26, 2017 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society 1917 Dr. McClanahan and C. E. Lawrence returned Monday from a short vacation trip in which they had the time of their lives. A pleasurable feature of the outing was a canoe trip from Taylors Falls to Stillwater, in spite of the fact that it was on the part of the trip Old Sol got in his work which constantly reminds them of their two joyful days up the St. Croix river….If you don’t want a meatless Monday, September 3rd, you will have to buy triple the amount of meat Saturday, September 1st, as all the meat markets announce they will be closed all day the 3rd in observation of Labor Day. Better mark your calendar right away so you won’t forget it…. 1942 Did you see the moon’s blackout Tuesday night? It was a real eclipse.

Foundation plans meeting for professional advisors For professional advisors, an important goal is to help clients invest their money where it matters. For many people, this can mean giving back to their community, but many may not know where to start. That’s where the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation (GWBLCF) comes in. The mission of the GWBLCF is to inspire philanthropy and to enrich the lives of people in the communities that share the shores of White Bear Lake: Birchwood Village, Dellwood, Mahtomedi, White Bear Lake and White Bear Township, now and in the future. The foundation manages and distributes funds from donors who want to leave a lasting impact on the community. The GWBLCF wants to help advisors help their clients create a lasting legacy. Whether an individual or a family wishes to support the arts, the schools, the community, or create a cause of their own, the foundation’s extensive community knowledge can help them make an informed decision about giving back. Advisors can learn how the GWBLCF can work with them and their clients at a breakfast meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 12. The Foundation is sponsoring a one-hour information session for bankers, attorneys, accountants, financial planners, investment managers and other advisors who want to learn more about how they can help their clients think about their legacy and carry out their personal philanthropic goals. The meeting will cover ways to give, description of the foundation’s new investment pools, and information on how the foundation has grown since its founding in 2015. If you are an advisor and want to learn more about the informational meeting, contact Jackie Reis, foundation executive director, at (651) 4085412 or info@greaterwblfoundation.org. Submitted

An ‘amazing adventure’ in red-white-and-blue for Bear hockey duo weight training and on-ice training,” Frank said, contacted while returning from Lake Placid on Sunday evening. “We also competed hard at all the tryouts.” She said the key was maintaining “our drive to be the best version of ourselves” throughout the fourmonth process. Frank, a 5-foot-6, 155-pound goalie, has committed to Minnesota State-Mankato. Shearen, a 5-foot-4, 129-pound forward, has committed to the Gophers. Both live in Hugo.

After a series of tryouts and scrimmages starting in April, 31 players were invited to the USA Hockey Women’s National Festival on Aug, 8-14 in Lake Placid, where 22 were chosen for the national team, 10 of them from Minnesota. “They both succeeded in their efforts! Very impressive, and I could not be happier for both of them as they are very deserving,” stated Bear coach Jerry Kwapick after his two players made the team. While White Bear Lake has developed many “high-end student athletes,” Kwapick added, he said he’s not aware of any girls hockey players getting invited to the National Festival previously. Team USA beat Canada 4-1 on Thursday, lost 3-0 on Friday and won 3-0 on Sunday. Frank was the goalie in the loss Friday, stopping 25 of 28 shots. Lindsay Reed of New Jersey was in the nets for the two wins. The games were mainstreamed on hockeytv.com. “The level of play is very intense,” Frank said. “It’s the top girls in each country facing off against each other.” Cheldon Shearen, Sydney’s father, expressed appreciation for the re-

Distinguished lifelong member Dellwood womenâ€™s champion BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Olivia Herrick has played hundreds of golf courses in an illustrious high school, college and amateur career, but she says thereâ€™s no place like home. â€œIâ€™ve been a member all my life, and I learned to play on that putting green over there,â€? said Herrick after the Dellwood Country Club tournament Sunday. â€œThis place will always be very special to me.â€? The Dellwood native fashioned a 78-71-149 score over two days. Sue Ryan was runner-up with 90-88178, Sandy Martin third with 94-94-188 and Kitty Considine fourth with 9663-189.

Scott Moores grinned and walked toward his family after shaking hands with Bror Herrick (middle) and Sean Barrett, upon completion of his 10-stroke victory at Dellwood.

Dellwood newcomer cruises to menâ€™s club championship BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Scott Moores, who joined Dellwood Country Club just recently, wasted no time adding Dellwood to his ledger of championships. After capturing six Monticello Golf Club titles, and joining Dellwood last October, Moores cruised to a 10-stroke victory in his fi rst attempt in his new club, shooting 71-74-37â€”182 on Saturday and Sunday. â€œI had a lot of good iron shots, limited my mistakes, and made some putts,â€? assessed Moores, whose highlights included birdies on his fi rst two holes Saturday, and an eagle on No. 13 Sunday. â€œThe key here is staying between the stakes, and taking advantage of some short holes.â€? Driving long (280 to 300 yards) is Mooresâ€™ strength, but he even came out fi ne when he mashed one of his tee shots into a tree. Thatâ€™s where he got the eagle, in fact. â€œIt bounced right into the middle of the fairway,â€? chuckled Moores, who then hit a seven-iron shot within 10 feet, and steered the ensuing putt right into the cup.

A pair of double bogeys was as bad as it got for the 36-year-old software salesman, who expanded a six-stroke lead after Saturday to 10 at the end. Moores, a Monticello native, said he hadnâ€™t played as much as heâ€™d like this summer, until the last couple weeks. Last week, he reached the semifi nals of a match play tournament in Duluth, priming up for Dellwood. Sean Barrett was runner-up, shooting 77-75-40â€”192, with Bror Herrick third at 78-77-39â€”194. The rest of the championship flight was Tom Piccione (77-7941â€“197), Jordan Hawkinson (81-8138â€”200) and Chris Little (85-7343â€”201). Hawkinson was the only past champion in the field. Chris Bottaro won the fi rst flight with 77-79-156, followed by Tim Meyer 82-78-160 and Richard Sames 84-77-161. Peter Langston took the second flight, shooting 80-78-158, followed by Ted Burchell 92-81-173 and Don Odegard 85-88-173. Jim Sandidge won third flight with 144 net, followed by Trey Thompson with 145 and Mike Trucano 146.

SALON & SPA LOCATER

Prolong the life of your hair color • Understand the difference between products. Hair color can come in different formulations. Semi- and demi-permanent colors deposit color without lightening and will wash out gradually after a certain number of shampoos. Permanent hair colors use a combination of components to open up the hair cuticle so that natural hair color can be lightened and color deposited as well. Someone unsure of a color may want to try a semipermanent formulation and then look to the permanent equivalent when satisﬁed so that the color will last longer. • Wash with cooler water. Keep color longer by turning down the thermostat in the shower. Hot water can cause the hair shaft to expand and lead to more dissolution of hair color molecules. Washing and rinsing with cool water can lock in the color longer. • Skip the sulfates. Sulfates are detergents used in shampoos that produce those lush suds many people equate with cleanliness. Sulfates can strip dyes from the hair and lead to premature fading. • Use a color-extending product. Color-extending

products come in two varieties: those that deposit small amounts of color to help keep the overall shade fresh, and others that don’t add color but help seal the cuticle so that existing color will not fade away. The Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested nine brands, including 24 products, and found most of the products, such as color shampoos, helped dyes last longer than regular shampoos. • Protect against the sun. Your skin is not the only part of the body that needs to be shielded from the sun. Ultraviolet light can cause premature fading of hair color. Look for a product that defends against UV damage, and wear hats when out in strong sun. • Head back to the salon. Some salons offer free or inexpensive glossing treatments. This 10-minute service can extend the life of your hair color. By following some easy hair care tips, anyone can keep their color lasting longer. Clients should speak with their stylists if they need more direction and advice about hair color.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL The Mahtomedi City Council took the following action at its Aug. 15 meeting: • Heard a presentation from Executive Director Jill Greenhalgh on Century College's 50th anniversary celebration and declared Sept. 18 as Century College Day. The college, as Lakewood State Junior College, opened its doors on Sept. 18, 1967 to 503 students, who each paid a tuition of $5 per credit hour. The college moved to its current location in 1969 and changed its name in 1973 to Lakewood Community College. In 1996, the college merged with Northeast Metro Technical College to become Century College. Today, the college serves a student population of more than 21,000. The kick-off to a year of celebration will be held from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. • By a vote of 3-2, rejected all 11 bids received for work on the Edgecumbe Drive storm drainage improvements. City staff was directed to include the project in the 2018 Capital Improvement Projects for discussion and review. Council rejected the bids for work this year because all the bids were substantially higher than the

engineer's budget estimate and the amount set aside for the project. • Approved a drainage and utility agreement for 936 Park Ave. as part of the White Bear Lake outlet improvement project. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 12 in the amount of $17,700 to T. A. Schifsky and Sons Inc. for Phase 2 Historic District improvements. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 3 in the amount of $37,150 to T. A. Schifsky and Sons Inc. for CSAH 12 improvements. • Introduced the new city engineer, Nick Guilliams of WSB. Guilliams worked in California until two years ago, when he moved to Minnesota and started at WSB to work on projects in the city of Afton. "I'm looking forward to being part of the Mahtomedi team," Guilliams said. • Approved a memorandum of understanding with I.U.O.E. Local No. 49 and appointed Bob Goebel as interim public works supervisor at a rate of $38 per hour. Currently, Goebel is the lead maintenance operator. • Acknowledged the completion of the probationary period for paid, on-call Mahtomedi Fire

YOUR CAREER CONNECTION

Department EMS staff member Josie Reil. Chief Terry Fischer then swore her in for duty. • Approved a license agreement with the Rice Creek Watershed District to use certain GIS and hydraulic modeling tools and information, such as geo-spatial (GIS) data, hydrology, hydraulics and water quality models and data, survey geodatabase, hydro viewer application and drainage viewer application. WSB uses this information to develop the city's storm water management plan, and review and submit certain RCWD permit applications. • Scheduled a work session regarding the CSAH 12 study update for 5 p.m. Sept. 19. • Adjourned to a closed session, as allowed by law, for an attorney-client privileged discussion regarding Hague, et al. v. the City of Mahtomedi. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 5 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

Northeast metro hotels, homes preparing for full house during Super Bowl BY RYAN DEPAUW NEWS INTERN

While U.S. Bank Stadium and Minneapolis prepares for the influx of visitors during Super Bowl LII in February, the northeast metro looks to get in on the action. With an estimated one million visitors to the area—150,000 of which are nonresidents—what can this mean for the northeast metro? It could mean an economic boost. Houston, which hosted Super Bowl LI, saw an estimated $428 million spent in the Greater Houston area, nearly 4,500 jobs were created and an estimated $39 million in state and local taxes were paid, according to Rockport Analytics LLC. In 2015, Arizona felt the impact of Super Bowl XLIX. A study completed by the Seidman Research Institute, W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, determined that Super Bowl XLIX, the 2015 Pro Bowl and related events produced a gross economic impact of $719.4 million in the region. Minneapolis will not be hosting the Pro Bowl in 2018, however. According to the NFL Super Bowl LII Host City Bid Specifications and Requirements, the host city must have 35 percent as many hotel rooms as the number of stadium seats guaranteed in the bid, located in properties within a 60-minute drive of the stadium.

Hotels, homeowners planning to get in on the cash Since many northeast metro cities are within a short distance of major highways leading directly into Minneapolis, hotels around the area are preparing to get in on the action. “The Super Bowl is incredible for the Twin Cities, including our community,” said Bill Foussard, owner of the Best Western Plus White Bear Country Inn hotel. The Minnesota Super Bowl host committee estimates the Twin Cities will obtain $407 million in economic impact from the 2018 Super Bowl. An estimated $71 million will be spent on hotel stays in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, according to Andrea Mokros, vice president of communications and events with the host committee. Foussard knows fi rsthand how busy the metro can get when a sporting event as big as this comes

A house in downtown White Bear Lake is offering Super Bowl goers a place to stay for $1,000 a night.

to town, but also wants people to enjoy their time spent here. “The last time the Super Bowl was here, I owned a hotel as well in St. Cloud and it was busy,” Foussard said. “You see rates that are just off the charts; we don’t want that. Yeah the rates are a little bit higher, so we want people to come and enjoy and say, ‘Hey, I had an incredible time; I had an incredible experience here in White Bear Lake as well as in Minneapolis.’” As for the economic impact, Foussard knows what it could mean for his community. “Think of the taxes that are paid throughout,” Foussard said. “It’s huge. Sales tax on food, rooms, beverage and car rentals. It’s huge. People are coming to have fun. And when they’re here, they just want to experience the community.” Currently, the Best Western Plus White Bear Country Inn hotel has rooms blocked off in anticipation for groups looking for a place to

stay. And they’re not the only ones who are awaiting the arrival of the Super Bowl. A look at several different hotels in and around White Bear Lake shows a massive spike in cost for an average night during the weekend Friday, Feb. 2 to Monday Feb. 4. The price of a standard queen bed room at the AmericInn of White Bear Lake the weekend before the Super Bowl will cost about $167.79 per night. But a week later, the same room jumps to $625 per night. The Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott in Vadnais Heights would only cost $104 per night for a standard king bed room the weekend before, but good luck getting one the weekend of the Super Bowl. Their website shows that the hotel is completely booked. A call to Expedia confi rms that. And with the Super Bowl just around the corner, locals are turning their houses into money-making operations.

On Airbnb, a house in White Bear Lake listed at $1,121 per night for the entire house is marketed as a “Super Bowl 2018 Cottage Escape.” The home is described as blocks away from White Bear Lake public lake access and shops and restaurants. A second-floor suite in a home in White Bear Township is advertised as a “South Shore Sanctuary” and the only dates available in January and February for the $226 per night sanctuary stay is around Super Bowl time. In March you can visit for $100. A split-entry home with a lower level Airbnb option in White Bear Lake costs $57 the weekend before the Super Bowl and $339 the weekend of the game. A Shoreview resident has also advertised a room in her house for $451 a night around Super Bowl time. The cost is a mere $28 earlier in January.

Six-year old gets home of her own A dream came true for a young girl from White Bear Lake, thanks to the Sunshine Foundation. Six-year-old Annika wished she had an outdoor playhouse so her grandmother contacted the non-profit organization, requesting a dream. Sunshine Foundation strives to answer the dreams of chronically or terminally ill children, or those physically challenged or abused, said Development Manager Jessica Greene. The wish-granting organization was founded in 1976 by Philadelphia police officer Bill Sample who wanted to assist families of sick children. The national group has granted more than 40,000 dreams over the last 40 years. Annika’s dream for a Victorian mansion was sponsored by the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation. Her mom, Shelli Olson, said her daughter “loves it.” Annika has an inherited developmental disorder called Cornelia DeLange Syndrome. The Olson family includes 12 chil-

dren, with eight at home ranging from 6 to 16, so Annika’s siblings are also enjoying the backyard playhouse. Shelli and husband Philip thought the playhouse a better wish list item than Annika’s fi rst request: a swimming pool. Shelli felt that was something that could wait until Annika got older since she only has one arm. Their youngest daughter was adopted at birth. The couple later found out Annika had a half-sister with the same syndrome in Oklahoma. Her adoption was fi nalized last January. The Olsons do foster care and have adopted children with learning disabilities, fetal alcohol syndrome or born addicted to meth. “They all have issues,” Shelli said. “Most people don’t believe it when I tell them we have 12. We love kids.” For more information on the Sunshine Foundation, see www. sunshinefoundation.org. SUBMITTED
