Another grocery chain lured by White Bear Lake

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Turns out a grocery store may be coming to Tower Crossings after all. Lund Food Holdings Inc. has signed a letter of intent with developer John Johannson to build a full-ser- Tres Lund vice Lunds & Byerlys grocery store in the Tower Crossings development near the intersection of I-35E and County Road 96 in White Bear Lake, across from Cub Foods.

“We are committed to continuing to grow our presence throughout the Twin Cities, and White Bear Lake is a community we’ve been interested in for a number of years,” said Tres Lund, CEO of Edina-based Lunds & Byerlys. “We look forward to providing the community the best of everything we offer, which includes a sharp focus on extraordinary food, exceptional service, passionate expertise and competitive prices.”

In June, Hy-Vee Inc. ditched plans for a new store on Centerville Road. That 70,000-square-foot supermarket included a fitness center and in-store restaurant.

The Iowa company cited higher-than-expected costs as a reason for abandoning those plans.

Specifically, site grading, a challenging two-story design and high land costs to acquire the White Oak retail center were listed for Hy-Vee's opting out. They were also required to make right of way improvements and pay half the cost of a new traffic light by the senior living complex north of the site.

Preliminary plans for the new Lunds & Byerlys show the 47,000-square-foot store will feature amenities like a Wines and Spirits shop and Creations Café, which features an array of chef-crafted meal options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Lunds & Byerlys, along with the

9-1-1 call could be answered by county Ellen Richter in a memo to mayor and council.

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Describing it as “cost avoidance,” the city is weighing whether to close its 9-1-1 call center.

What that means for emergency response times is unknown.

What is known is Ramsey County would take over dispatch duties like it does for every other city in the county.

“It became increasingly evident in recent months that the current model for providing dispatch services needed to be evaluated against the option of contracting for services with Ramsey County,” noted City Manager

White Bear Lake is the only remaining municipal dispatch center in Ramsey County.

Richter admits the call center offers “extraordinary public service,” but with major capital costs on the horizon, hometown dispatchers may be a

thing of the past.

White Bear Lake has the only remaining municipal dispatch center in Ramsey County.

If the call center stays, the city would need to replace the 9-1-1 phone system at a cost of $190,000, plus spend another $500,000 over the next few years to replace the dispatch console.

The operating budget for dispatch is $525,000 annually and staffed with 5.5 full-time equivalent employees.

Two-thirds of the time the center operates with one dispatcher, or one seat. The county uses a two-seat system, which allows one dispatcher SEE CALL CENTER, PAGE 9A

Grant tractor parade leads to scholarships charity is Feed My Starving Children.

Proceeds for the scholarships come from the Grant Heritage Days annual tractor parade. This year, the parade is Saturday, Sept. 9. Registration begins at 11:45 a.m. at the Bavarian Gasthaus restaurant. Following the national anthem and color guard, and led by senior grand marshals, tractors will travel 2 miles to Grant Town Hall to be recognized and then return to the Gasthaus for lunch, awards and door prizes.

Thanks to a 2016 tractor parade, three Grant students received $1,000 scholarships this year.

Mitch Emslander is a second-year student at the Dakota County Technical College. As there is a requirement that half the award goes to a charity of their choice, Emslander selected Washington County 4-H as his recipient. Ben Kiel is a student at Iowa State University. His charity of choice is Make a Wish Foundation. The third award went to Riley Beskar, a student at St. Scholastica. Her

Gift of land connects important piece of lake trail

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — The Lake Links group shared good news regarding a multiuse trail around White Bear Lake.

A generous donation of land by Thane and Blanche Hawkins will enable completion of a trail portion connecting Dellwood and Mahtomedi.

Announcement of the gift was made at the Aug. 21 Lake Links Association meeting at the District Center.

The couple attended, Blanche telling the group the stretch of road at Briarwood and Dwinnell Avenues is a dangerous section that they’re happy to donate for safety reasons.

Lake Links Co-Chair Steve Wolgamot said the trail will follow Burlington railroad right of way that crosses the Hawkins’ parcel. “For 30 years, they’ve let us cross their land,” he noted. “It’s the most beautiful part of the trail.”

Hawkins is owner of Polar Chevrolet and Mazda.

In appreciation of the gift, Wolgamot presented the Dellwood couple a framed photograph of the Lake Avenue trail now known as the Sather Trail.

The photographer was Kelly Carlson, a member of the Lake Links Association.

Wolgamot also reported on a meeting with White Bear Township’s Park Board earlier this month. Members agreed to allow Lake Links to use Rutherford Park on the north end of White Bear Lake, he said. The township owns about 60 percent of the lakeshore along Highway 96 and includes about 900 feet of park near the Portland intersection. Volunteers are already clearing buckthorn at the park, he added. The park was a gift from philanthropist Rutherford Brosious.

The Lake Links Association doesn’t have much of a budget but “people are getting behind us,” Wolgamot continued. Two people have promised money to the nonprofit without asking; one from Dellwood and one from Mahtomedi.

Lake Links Association Co-Chairman Steve Wolgamot, right, presented a framed photo of the Lake Avenue trail to Thane and Blanche Hawkins in appreciation of their gift.

Co-Chair Mike Brooks pointed out the project is about paying it forward.

“Many people are donating money and land for this,” he noted.

Section by section, the trail is taking shape. Wolgamot said by early 2018 the association should know what the trail will look like.

St. Paul Police Commander Jeremy Ellison described the department’s “Stop For Me” crosswalk education program. He said he was shocked to learn a pedestrian or bicyclist is hit every other day in St. Paul. The program focuses on changing driver behavior, Ellison explained.

“We ask drivers why they didn’t stop for a pedestrian. About 80 percent answer ‘they didn’t see the pedestrian.’ We are still exploring

how to change that.”

White Bear Lake Police Officer John Sanders is working with the St. Paul initiative.

He contends that drivers don’t know the laws. “In Minnesota, any intersection is a crosswalk. A crosswalk does not have to be painted,” he said. “You should always be scanning for pedestrians.”

A citation for not yielding to a pedestrian is $186, he said, and considered a misdemeanor. If drivers get two in a year, it becomes a gross misdemeanor and you can go to jail.

This trail section, looking toward Dwinnell Avenue from Echo, was made available for the Lake Links route by Thane and Blanche Hawkins.

Another thing bicyclists should know: On a bicycle you are considered a car and must follow car rules.

“Unless you get off and walk the bike; then you become a pedestrian.”

A couple other notes regarding the law: • Drivers are not obligated to yield to a pedestrian unless the person has stepped off the sidewalk/curb.

• Drivers must remain stopped until the pedestrian clears your lane.

• Bicycles are not required to ride single fi le if in a traffic lane.

Return from the land of fire and ice

F

or many travelers, Iceland is merely a stopover on the way to Europe—some were surprised that I was going there on purpose this summer. I spent eight days getting to know this country, part of Europe, but unique with its own language and traditions.

Nearly everyone in Iceland speaks at least two languages, sometimes more. Icelandic, which shares some similarities with the Norwegian language, is the primary language, but English is a close second. Close to the Arctic Circle, the sun shines late into the evening in Iceland, so I took a stroll around 9 p.m. my first night in Reykjavik.

Two children with silver-blond hair, common among the Icelandic population, were playing in a Getting small grove of trees, and one spoke a sentence to me in Icelandic. I in Tune shrugged and said, “Sorry, I don’t Jackie Bussjaeger speak Icelandic.”

Undeterred, the child repeated in English, “What’s your name?”

Everyone learns English as a child in school—sometimes Danish is taught as well, as Iceland was a Danish kingdom until it achieved independence in 1918.

It was curious to me to observe that English was the link between people of all cultures in Iceland (as I’m sure it is in a vast number of places around the world). I sat in a museum cafe in proximity to groups of Swedish and Japanese tourists—who asked questions to the Icelandic staff in English.

It was astonishing to me to have my native language be the standard in somewhere so far away with so little to do with my everyday experience, and almost made me feel a little guilty that I didn’t have to do any work to be able to communicate with people of other cultures. They had already gone to the great length of learning my own language.

After an incredible week visiting breathtaking waterfalls, hiking mountains and soaking in natural hot springs, I returned home to the terrible news from Charlottesville, Virginia. But I was amazed to see one of our local communities, Forest Lake, organize to express their dedication to nonviolence, respect and equality in response to the sad events of Aug. 12.

There have been a lot of words bandied around about who was to blame in that situation. Some claim that the media is using Charlottesville to create a “fake race war,” creating more conflict between Americans.

The truth is, most Americans get along with each other, and it’s exciting to see cooperation and acceptance happen in our day-to-day lives. But conflict is bound to happen in a country that embraces many worldviews, especially when some of those worldviews include intolerance towards others.

To me, it is useless to go over and over the details of the Charlottesville protests to figure out who deserves blame—the point is that the conflict we experience should not be violent.

The churches and community of Forest Lake understood this when they held their solidarity event.

It was moving to attend this gathering and know that despite all the ugliness we’ve seen happen between Americans in the recent past, people in our own communities are trying to become better than they were and treat each other with kindness in spite of their own prejudices and judgments.

In Iceland, I felt a world away from the issues Americans have been discussing in the last few weeks, but tuning out this discourse doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It’s good to take a break from the endless opinions and disagreements from time to time, but I think it will be beneficial to most everyone to be aware of the national conversation, and be ready to communicate about it in the common language of civility.

Back-to-school changes in Minnesota schools

B

ack to school is upon us – and with it brings exciting new opportunities, new challenges and fresh faces in the classroom. Whether it’s your very first day of kindergarten, your first day of high school or college – or perhaps you’re learning a new skill and you’ve found your way back to the classroom after years of work – I wish you all a great first day.

Changes that you might see in the classrooms stem Legislator partly from actions taken by the Lingo Legislature during the last session.

Chuck Wiger Here are some of the measures that made d iit iinto llaw: • The basic education funding formula was increased 2 percent each year, or $121 per student each year, for a total investment increase of $371 million.

• A new program called “School Readiness Plus” was created for free-reduced priced lunch students.

Districts receiving new money for voluntary pre-K programs include North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale - $793,533, White Bear Lake $183,886 and Roseville - $154,800.

• The Early Learning Scholarship Program will get an additional $21.6 million added to its $100 million budget.

• Four-tier teacher licensing system was created.

• I chief authored a bill and was a strong advocate for increasing school funding fairness by modifying the calculation of the referendum equalization levy. In the end

it did not become law. We certainly raised awareness of this issue and will continue our efforts.

• New language allows districts to reimburse students for taking the ACT/SAT assessment only if they qualify for free and reduced-price lunch. It removes the requirement that districts offer the ACT/SAT to all students.

• Reading Corps received $13.9 million additional funding and Math Corps received $100,000 additional funding.

Grant programs for an additional $56 million, including intermediate district mental health grants of $4.9 million. I spoke out strongly in favor of this measure in committee.

Race2Reduce water conservation program $307,000 for Fiscal Year 2018 only; Rock N Read literacy program $500,000; and Dyslexia reading specialist for MDE $247,000 • Century requested state funds for two projects to improve the campus, including Higher Education Asset Preservation and Renovation dollars to replace windows and repair masonry and roofs which was included in the State Bonding Bill.

For students who are interested in vocational training, we have several excellent resources in the area. Intermediate School District 916’s Career and Technical program is located on the Century College Campus, and offers high school students a diverse array of vocational classes including home construction, engineering, digital fabrication and more.

The new school year also calls for some reminder tips that will help kids and parents get back into the swing of things. The following tips are provided by leaders in Minnesota’s teaching profession.

• Get to know your child’s teachers and support staff at the beginning of the year. Let them know that you want feedback on your child’s progress during the school year, as well as how you want to receive it – email, text message, phone or even in person.

• Set a regular place and time for your child to work on homework. Establish a distraction free “learning zone” (away from the TV, tablet or other distractions. Set a bedtime, too.

• Establish high expectations.

Offer encouragement and praise for the effort your child puts into projects.

• Read as much as possible.

Research proves that reading to small children and reading with older children leads to better academic performance.

• Prepare for your parent-teacher conferences.

Find more back-to-school tips at www.edmoments.com.

Even if you’ve long since graduated or if you’ve retired, community education plays a big role in our continued education and lifelong learning.

I wish your kids well as they embark on a new grade level full of fresh beginnings. I hope you introduce yourself to their teachers, read many books together, and help instill a thirst for learning. I also hope the Legislature’s latest efforts have made your school district a better, and safer place to learn.

Learning curve on generational poverty

recently had the opportunity to participate in a Poverty Institute led by Donna Beegle, PhD. and sponsored

by Century College. Dr. Beegle grew up in generational poverty, in a family of illiterate migrant workers.

School was difficult, frustrating and something to be avoided; she and her brothers were always late, always dirty, never good enough. But with the help and support of others, Beegle earned her GED in her mid-20s and went on to earn her college degree and a PhD in less than 10 years.

At the Poverty Institute Beegle spoke about how poverty, particularly generational poverty, robs people of hope for the future. In the U.S., poverty is often internalized as a personal deficiency; a person is poor, not because of the many structural and systemic issues that cause and perpetuate poverty, but because s/ he is doing something wrong. While some people living in poverty make poor decisions (as most of us do at some point), and those decisions can have negative consequences, approaching poverty as a result

of personal deficiency ignores the broader, deeper issues of race, class and other systemic issues that are truly at the root of the problem.

Living in the crisis of poverty is hard work. When people work hard but still can’t afford to pay the rent, they quit trying.

When kids need to be in school but all they can think about being hungry, they Movers and is can’t learn. When families reach out for Shakers help to pay the utilities Trisha Cummins but are forced to go to five different agencies Kauffman to piece together the funds they need, they give up. When people face barrier after barrier, they get frustrated and angry.

Poverty forces you to think only about how to meet your most basic needs; it’s hard to plan for tomorrow when you’re focused on just surviving today. And when you can’t plan for the

future, you just get more of the same, or worse. The cycle continues.

My son, though far from being the best student in his senior class, will be attending college next year because he has heard from his parents, all of his life, that college was his best opportunity for a bright future and that he was capable of doing whatever he wanted to do. He had the school supplies he needed, the healthcare he needed, the transportation he needed, the clothes and hygiene he needed, the stable housing he needed, and the support and confidence he needed.

He was set up to succeed; the rest is up to him. But children in poverty don’t have those same opportunities.

As they grow up, they hear a lot more “no’s” than “yes’s”.

Beegle attributes her success, not only to the hard work she put into her education, but to the mentors in her life and the support she was given.

She participated in a pilot program while earning her GED that provided her with affordable housing; not having to worry about being homeless again allowed her to focus on her

studies. When she went to college, a professor took her under his wing and coached and supported her throughout her college career. He believed in her, trusted her and gave her opportunities to shine; his confidence in her helped her develop confidence in herself.

As we face the start of a new school year, let’s do what we can to make sure that all students in our community, whatever their age or circumstances, are set up to succeed.

Donate school supplies. Offer to drive a child to before- or after-school activities. Volunteer as a tutor in Solid Ground’s after-school tutoring program, or get involved in Century College’s Opportunity Community, which is founded on Beegle’s work (contact www.solidgroundmn.org or www.century.edu/about/strategicplan-2020/opportunity-community to learn more). You can truly make a world of difference in fighting poverty in our community.

Missed public hearing on Admiral D's I was surprised to fi nd out that the actual public hearing for Admiral D's expansion had taken place at the Planning Commission meeting July 31. To my knowledge, this is the fi rst time it wasn't at the council meeting. In the

past, dealings with Admiral D's was at the City Council. I will have to watch the paper more closely. Too bad there wasn't some article about the upcoming hearing. Maybe next time.

I was disheartened (at the Aug. 22 meeting) that I or someone else could not provide the newest members of the council with the whole history of what has transpired with Admiral D's since 2008. I am not sure even the Planning Commission had the whole history.

I think it is unfortunate that the council took it upon itself to be the "planning commission" versus sending it back with set limits to work within. Why even have a commission if you are not going to use it? The Planning Commission obviously put in more work and research (as well city staff) than the council did. That the council felt they could come up with the best proposal in one hour versus the many hours of Planning Commission deliberations is unfortunate. Last

night the council chose to only hear from the applicant as to what would work best for its operation, based on council suggestions. Then the council chose to direct that the Planning Commission work with what is best for Admiral D's and the heck with impacts to the community as a whole.

Comments like "no one uses the park (Lions Park)," but Admiral D's pulls in 200 people, were especially disheartening. Parks are meant to be places where one can relax without having 200 people around, have a family picnic, do a little fi shing, or watch the eagle that uses the large cottonwood tree across the bay. Lions Park gets a lot of use, perhaps not just at the same time the person making the comment drives by — or perhaps he gets his information from someone who frequents Admiral D's.

My friend Dora I'm old-school when traveling by car; I like paper maps.

My wife likes GPS. We like to point out the problems of each system to each other. A trip to Grand Island, Nebraska for the recent eclipse brought a new appreciation to me.

My wife calls the voice on the GPS, Dora, after some children's video. I understand the electronic device is just a computerized program based on hundreds of other GPS users in the area whose data makes up "Dora's'' intelligence, but humanizing the voice helps us deal with GPS. We were caught in the 100-mile Interstate 80 traffic jam on Monday, Aug. 21 after leaving the eclipse in Nebraska. After hours of battling bumper-to-bumper traffic, Dora chimed in on a re-route just as we crossed over to Iowa. Anything seemed better than what we were in.

So off we went on Dora's suggestion of county roads.

Reception was spotty at best, so we were driving blind much of the time, with no

paper map. However, we made the 100-mile re-route and saved significant time. Back on Interstate 80 outside of Des Moines, Dora again suggested a re-route. Off we went and we again saved time avoiding a major freeway shutdown before the other hapless drivers got taken off the road.

It was coming up on 8:30 p.m. and we were two hours late and very tired. Dora again suggested we go off the freeway just a mile or two before the motel on a re-route.

Again I went with her, two for two so far. As we fi nished winding through a seedy industrial area, we popped out next to the freeway at the motel. There was an exit ramp right there. Before I could give Dora piece of my mind, I noticed all the cars on the freeway were stopped in yet another traffic jam.

GPS Dora had given us help by avoiding more stop-and-go traffic when we were so close and so tired. I congratulate Dora on a job well done.

AUGUST 30, 2017

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:

Vadnais Heights • Deputies pulled over a “battered and used” U-Haul pickup truck with a plastic-covered driver’s side window the morning of Aug. 18 on I-694 near Hwy. 61 in response to a report that people in the truck were fighting. Turns out that the truck, already three weeks late from being returned to U-Haul, had been loaned to the 35-year-old Maplewood man now behind the wheel by the man who had originally rented it.

Property listed as stolen was found inside the truck by deputies. The truck was impounded and the case remains under investigation.

• Neighbors called 911 at the usually quiet hour of 3 a.m. Aug. 19 and reported people fighting outside in the 3900 block of Elmwood Street. Deputies found an 18-year-old woman attempting to referee a row between two adults. Deputies quieted things down, checked IDs and learned that the referee, an 18-yearold out of White Bear Lake, was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant for shoplifting. The teen was booked into jail on the warrant.

• It was all in a nights’ work for a half-dozen unruly youths Aug. 20 at a home in the 500 block of Bear Avenue. Mom and Dad were away so their son, age 16, decided to have two boys, described later as “ex-acquaintances,” over to visit. Later, three more uninvited male teens showed up, and the gang of six went on a tear, causing $1,000 in damages to the home, including breaking through a sheetrock wall to get into a locked bedroom, from where $800 in cash is now missing.

When the homeowners returned, Mom called 911 while her son laid low. An investigation continues.

• Witnesses reported a man stumbling from a gas station in the 3500 block of Arona Street the evening of Aug. 20. Deputies traced the 58-year-old local back to his vehicle, where he was arrested on a charge of third-degree DWI and booked into jail.

• Not taking his meds turned out to be a recipe for trouble for a 19-year-old man in the 800 block of County Road F. Mom called 911 the evening of Aug. 21 about the man, actually her grandson, who had, she said, “a hunting knife and mental problems.” The problems began with the grandson smashing things, including a television and a chair, breaking through a screen door, cutting up grandma’s clothing and going outside and breaking the rear window of her vehicle. The teen was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, domestic assault, fifth-degree assault and felony criminal damage to property and booked into the Ramsey County Jail.

• It’s going to turn out to be one expensive can of beer.

A 30-year-old man left Gold Liquors in the 1600 block of County Road E the afternoon of Aug. 22 on the dead run, carrying a stolen 40-ounce can of Steel Reserve, valued at $2.59. He jumped on his bike and fled the scene, but dropped the big bubbly brew. White Bear Lake Police quickly caught up to the scofflaw, arresting him on charges of misdemeanor theft and disorderly conduct. He was booked into jail.

White Bear Township • A boat as well as tools and auto parts in a truck were reported stolen overnight Aug. 17 from the driveway of a residence in the 1100 block of County Road H2. The stolen items were valued at $4,000, according to the 37-year-old victim, who said the truck’s tailgate had been tampered with. No suspects.

• A 60-year-old Hobe Lane homeowner who lives on Bald Eagle Lake was installing his dock the morning of Aug. 18 when he came upon a large bone underwater.

Recalling the recent publicity concerning the White Bear Lake man, Nathan Edberg, missing for the past 18 years, he turned the bone over to the county medical examiner’s office.

• A 31-year-old White Bear Lake man left his vehicle, along with the key inside, parked at a friend’s on Glen Oaks Avenue over the weekend of Aug. 18. The 2002 Saturn Vue was recovered Aug. 21 in Goodhue County.

• A Martin Way homeowner contacted county animal control regarding a young raccoon that had taken up residence in the man’s window well. Officers got the animal out, but it avoided capture. A day later, a Portland Avenue homeowner called about a raccoon under his deck. Suspecting it was the same masked bandit, officers arrived with a live trap and baited it with a muffin, grapes and corn on the cob. No raccoon, young or old, could resist that kind of a spread and the stressed-out animal was soon captured and taken to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Roseville.

• An 86-year-old man was found deceased by relatives the afternoon of Aug. 20 at his home on Glen Oaks Avenue. The man had been under hospice care, according to his family.

• A 55-year-old man, the victim of a prowler who took his wallet from his vehicle parked in the 5700 block of Windmill Drive overnight Aug. 20, received a call from his bank the next day regarding the use of his stolen bankcard. As is often the case, a scammer used the card to purchase an inexpensive item, in this case a sandwich, to see if the card would work. It did, and the scammer next tried to make an $800 purchase, which prompted the phone call. That attempt was declined and an investigation continues.

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:

Dellwood • A White Bear Lake woman, 34, a Dellwood man, 50, and a Dellwood woman, 59, were all cited Aug. 11 on Apple Orchard Road at Tamarisk Road for failing to stop at the stop sign.

Grant • An order for protection hearing was held after a resident in the 11000 block of 115th Street N. on Aug. 10 reported her ex-boyfriend for sending her emails more than 30 times every day.

• A St. Paul man, 40, was arrested at 10:12 p.m. Aug. 10 in the 10000 block of 60th Street N. on an active Ramsey County warrant after a Stillwater man reported a suspicious vehicle and Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies ran a license plate check as the subject was entering his vehicle.

Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office considers body cameras for jail supervisors

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — Supervisory staff at the Ramsey County Adult Detention Center are currently testing body cameras for possible use.

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office supervisory staff at the jail have been using handheld cameras to document incidents at the jail for about five years, said Sgt. John Eastham. The agency is

having the staff test body cameras to see whether they would be more user-friendly, he noted.

The camera being tested can be worn on the chest.

“The testing should be completed by the end of the year,” Eastham said.

“If the ADC (Adult Detention Center) supervisors prefer the wearable cameras, I would anticipate that we would implement them sometime next year.”

The sheriff’s office does not have plans

at this point to implement body cameras for all officers, such as those who patrol the northeast metro.

“While we fully expect that we will have body cameras sometime in the future, we do not have any plans to implement them outside of the ADC at this time,” Eastham stated.

Deputy Brian Luna, who works in the agency’s training unit, said he is personally for body cameras.

“It’s my protection,” he said, referring

to its use as documentation in the event a citizen filed a complaint against him. “I have nothing to hide as a police officer.

I’m kind of an advocate for the camera.”

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office implemented body cameras for all officers and some in its jail in February, said WCSO Chief Deputy Brian Mueller.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council conducted the following business at its Aug. 22 meeting: • Approved a Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) loan for small businesses along the County Road E corridor.

The HRA revolving loan and grant program was established in 1989 to revitalize downtown.

The fi nancing is for small business loans at below-market interest rates. Since its establishment, the program has given 39 small business loans totaling $676,000 and earned almost $40,000 in interest.

Loans up to $40,000 for a term of 10 years at 2 percent interest are available. There is a condition: A 100 percent match is required by an authorized local fi nancial institution located within the city limits.

Asked if any business has defaulted on a loan, City Planner Anne Kane replied, "no."

The HRA will provide $150,000 in seed money to jump-start the loan program.

Kane said several businesses have already expressed interest. The owner of a new floral business is interested in setting up shop in the Sunrise Insurance building north of McDonald's, she said. Money would also help the owner of a new Chinese restaurant with exterior improvements. The business owner is remodeling the old Taco Bell's by Festival and expects to open next year.

• Approved a resolution awarding roof replacement project and repairs to Central Minnesota Renovations for Pioneer Manor, 2225 Fifth St. The estimated project cost is $130,000. Pioneer Manor is a city-owned apartment complex

for seniors 62 and older with low to moderate income. Mayor Jo Emerson noted that the city wants to keep the residents "safe and dry."

• Authorized fi nal payment to Pearson Bros. Inc. for the 2017 bituminous seal coating project is amount of $305,000.

• Declared costs to be assessed and ordered preparation of proposed assessment roll. Public hearing was set Sept. 26 on proposed assessment roll for 2017 mill and overlay project.

• Ratified execution of a termination of assessment agreement between HRA and Muellner Family LLLP. The termination was required due to the family's sale of the Oak Ridge Business Center.

Eclipse chasers capture a piece of 3-layered sun PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

The total solar eclipse, as seen from Alliance, Nebraska, Monday, Aug. 21. Thousands of Minnesotans, including three Press staff members, traveled to various locations along the path of totality.

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

About every other car on the main drag in St. Paul, Nebraska about 9 a.m.

Aug. 21 had a Minnesota license plate.

Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Colorado, Minnesota ...

I was headed to Ravenna with my dad and uncle, a bit further into the totality zone of the Great American Eclipse. A couple from Minnesota was also headed to Ravenna and said their hotel in Columbus had been full of Minnesotans.

We came from a hotel in Omaha that morning, almost 200 miles east.

I woke up at 6 a.m. to thunderstorms.

I heard bangs and convinced myself it was the garbage truck.

While eating a moon-sized sausage and sun-sized waffle for breakfast, my dad confirmed my denial — it was storming. But he said I wouldn’t need my raincoat stuffed deep into my backpack.

“This won’t last,” he said. Besides, we were heading west. My uncle and dad had shown foresight in compiling a spreadsheet and detailed maps of all the possible towns of totality within striking distance of Omaha.

As we headed west on Highway 92, unwelcome celestial spectacles split the sky with jagged sparks. The sun should have been seen rising on its big day, but it was nowhere in sight.

As we crossed the Platte River, however, the storm became a thing of the rearview mirror.

Nearing the small town of Wahoo, slices of blue sky appeared above the rolling corn and soybean fields.

“Fifty miles to go before we get into the totality zone,” my dad said.

Nearing the town of Surprise, the sun began to shine on the fields, turning the corn tops golden yellow. Near Rising City, tall pine trees planted along the road led the eye up to a blue sky with a few shining white clouds.

As we entered the path of totality zone, a group of black birds darted about and lined a wire as if preparing to watch the eclipse. Deeper into the totality zone, wild sunflowers filled the edge of the road.

After a short break in St. Paul, we had several hours to find a good viewing spot.

Driving into Ravenna, we saw a line of people perched on a golf course ridge.

Downtown, a lemonade stand and bake sale were welcoming tourists to the town of 1,400.

“Today is the big day,” announced a sign at The Creamery. A bank flashed a warning that it would be closed from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for the eclipse.

In the town’s ballfield, a group was gathering for the big party, which included an attempt at a world record for

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

White Bear Lake residents Jean and Tom Kimlinger had a picnic while watching the eclipse at Laing Park in Alliance, Nebraska. The couple originally planned on viewing the eclipse in Missouri, but decided to head west at the last minute because of the threat of thunderstorms.

They arrived in Alliance six hours before the moment of totality.

the most people doing the moonwalk at once.

We settled on the Ravenna Golf Club hill, rationalizing that the $10 entrance fee per person was worth it for the anticipated view. We were expecting a 360-degree sunset.

We parked next to a farmer from the nearby town of Funk as we unloaded our accoutrements to be trucked up to the ridge in golf carts.

“Welcome to Nebraska,” he said cheerfully. “There is room for everybody here.”

Up on the ridge, a Ravennan remarked that it was the most people she had ever seen in town.

Hundreds of people filled the hills, from places like California, Texas, Illinois and, of course, Minnesota. The Ravenna Chamber of Commerce later reported people from all 50 states and 14 different countries came to town for the eclipse, about 10,000 people throughout the weekend.

I saw the beginning of the partial eclipse through the solar filter my husband Andrew had made for my camera from welding glass. It started as a faint shimmering on the edge of the sun as its rays apparently shone through the moon’s mountains and craters.

The moon slowly covered the sun for the next hour, taking bigger and bigger bites out of the cosmic cookie. People snacked and socialized while intermittently checking the moon’s progress.

I called my husband back in Wyoming, Minnesota, and we watched the partial eclipse, he with his welding helmet and I with my rad cardboard glasses. Then he was back to welding and I was back to the colander — looking at about a hundred tiny eclipsed suns projected onto a sheet of white paper.

It began to get darker and cooler about

EVELYN DUVALL | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

White Bear Township resident Tom Chapin, 91, views his first total solar eclipse in Arrow Rock, Missouri, Aug. 21.

20 minutes before the expected totality at 1 p.m. Our shadows became sharp on the high-definition grass.

A lady from California frantically, enthusiastically, offered Red Vine licorice to fellow viewers a few minutes before totality.

Venus burst from the blue sky next to the still-bright sliver of a sun.

The horizon began to turn sunset colors — purple and pink dominating the west and orange and yellow flaring from the skyline. The sun was still bright even as the moon nearly covered it; I stared up at a tiny orange glow through the prescribed shades.

“There it goes,” my dad said.

Suddenly, I completely tore off my rad cardboard glasses.

My knees almost buckled as I stared up, gasping at the glowing halo above me. I was stopped in time, a mere motionless speck caught in the path of three cosmic spheres, tears coming to my eyes.

The outer layer of the sun’s atmosphere, the corona (Latin for crown), glowed around the moon, sending forth elegant plasma gas projections, or solar prominences, into the sky.

I was surrounded by a 360-degree sunset. I turned in it, my feet rebelling against the oil-painted, shiny landscape that seemed to have dried us all in place.

Somehow I broke loose and was dashing about in the totality, trying to capture the painting on my camera and in my memory. Totality lasted only about 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

The sun’s corona began to brighten.

For a couple seconds, I saw the sun’s chromosphere, the middle layer of the sun’s three-layered atmosphere. Like the corona, it can only be seen with the naked eye during a total eclipse. The first layer, the photosphere, is so bright it obscures the two outer layers.

A pink band appeared and grew on the edge of the moon, the sun’s rim flashing magenta. The radiant color is caused by the burning of superheated hydrogen.

As quickly as it came, it disappeared in a flash of light as the photosphere reemerged dominant, sparkling through the moon’s mountains and craters and creating a diamond ring in the sky — the sun’s still slightly visible corona acting as the ring’s band as the bit of photosphere flashed at the moon’s edge like a diamond.

Too soon, it was too bright to look at again. Birds temporarily muted by the darkness let out chirps.

Ravenna means raven, a fitting place for a black flying sphere to cover the sun and give its birds a once-in-a-lifetime experience of an afternoon nap atmosphere.

Viewing totality and viewing a partial eclipse is about as different as eating a three-layered cake and smelling it.

We’d had our fill of the sun’s three-layered atmosphere. After watching the last of the unique landscape disappear, we packed up our accoutrements and took the next available golf cart ride down the hill.

As we headed toward South Dakota, arching steel gray clouds stretched across the sky and sheets of rain obscured the sun. Far behind were the Nebraska plains that held together the moon and sun for a brief, historic moment.

We’d chased the moon and captured a piece of the sun’s three-layered atmosphere.

It was totality worth it.

to focus on the caller while the second dispatcher focuses on needed resources.

Two dispatchers will operate the White Bear call center 75 percent of the time if it continues. The twoseat model will require addition of two staff people in 2018, at a cost of $135,000 each, with another two hires planned in 2019 for complete coverage.

Region’s Hospital EMS staff, which provides medical direction for the city’s ambulance service, has also advised the city maintain a two-seat center. Their key concern is that one seat does not allow the dispatcher enough time to assess patient symptoms and offer pre-arrival instructions to the caller.

An example of pre-arrival instructions would be whether to begin chest compressions or apply an AED to someone potentially going into cardiac arrest.

White Bear Lake’s dispatch center answers ambulance and fire calls for the city, White Bear Township, Gem Lake, Birchwood and Dellwood. The center answers calls for police service, both emergency and non-emergency, only for the city.

“To be clear,” Richter said, “cost savings is not an immediate factor influencing this discussion. Rather the discussion is driven by cost avoidance concerns due to increased staffing needs and future capital expenditures.”

Another consideration is Next Generation 911, which will require the city to invest in solutions capable of receiving text, photo and video messages to 911 by 2019. The cost of this technology is still unknown but is expected to exceed the cost of the phone system itself.

Up only for discussion at this point, Richter told council Aug. 22 that response time would likely favor Ramsey County when there are multiple calls handled simultaneously.

Councilman Doug Biehn said if he could vote, he would vote to switch to the county. “There is benefit to a consolidated system,” he maintained.

Current dispatch staff would be retained for other duties; like manning the lobby window in the Public Safety building 24/7, a service the city feels residents expect, working with officers and entry of data records.

That was something Councilman Bill Walsh questioned. “I don’t understand the math,” he said. “Keep everyone around and keep the (lobby) window open?

The 24/7 access is nice but not necessary. We need to look for savings to mitigate a levy increase.”

Walsh plans to talk to his Ward 1 constituents about their opinions on the issue. He also asked staff to research response times for something to “quantify.”

One council member made it clear where he stood on the issue.

Councilman Steven Engstran has worked as a dispatcher and claimed the “county makes more

White Bear Lake 911 dispatcher Angie Stewart, left, has been with the department 22 years. Naomi Clark has been a dispatcher for 12 years. The call center is managed by Captain Dale Hager, who took a position with White Bear Lake PD in 2014; previously serving 15 years with the Lino Lakes Police Department. The council plans more conversations about the call center’s future.

mistakes than you can believe and they go through dispatchers like water.”

A White Bear Lake firefighter, Engstran said he is “1000 percent” against closing the dispatch center. He feels the city should hire emergency medical personnel as dispatchers because they can ask the right questions.

Adding he doesn’t trust Ramsey County’s call center, Councilman Dan Jones said he doesn’t care how much it costs, he wants the White Bear call center to stay.

“I’m not going to screw around on this,” Jones added. “Our service goes above and beyond, but there is room for improvement. We need increased staffing and a clear, concise management structure. If it costs us $1 million, it costs $1 million.”

The 9-1-1 center is financed through property taxes.

If the decision is made to keep it local, the tax levy will increase to pay for the capital upgrades.

In 2008, the City Council considered contracting with the county but had concerns about protocols and the capacity to accommodate the city’s paid-on-call ambulance service model.

According to Richter, the county has since gone through a significant transition that included more staffing, new software and a new governance structure. “Through these changes, they have gained the confidence of the agencies they are serving,” she said.

Ramsey County Emergency Communications Supervisor Joe Dillenberg said the addition of the White Bear Lake police and fire departments would not affect the dispatch center’s operations.

Ramsey County dispatch handles about 1 million calls each year. Based on the White Bear Lake call volume, it is estimated that the city’s charges for service would be $250,000 annually, plus or minus 10 percent.

Richter assured council there will be more conversations about the possible transfer before action is taken. She asked members to send in questions for staff to prepare for the next call center conversation.

Jones told her: “I’ll make it easy for you, I’m not going to change my mind.”

Mayor Jo Emerson reminded the councilman there are others who may feel differently.

Green thumb initiative keeps growing

SUBMITTED

From left, Bill Foussard, Chris Harms and Carol McFarlane at the ceremonial signing of paperwork that makes the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation the fiscal sponsor of Giving Gardens.

Local nonprofit Giving Gardens is announcing its most recent move in applying for and being granted fiscal sponsorship by the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation (GWBLCF), an organization aimed at inspiring philanthropy in communities that share the shores of White Bear Lake.

Giving Gardens founder Chris Harms described this development as “a really big step in building our future as a movement and organization, while at the same time aligning ourselves with really great people who share our values of community building.”

In welcoming Giving Gardens to the foundation’s family of funds, Chairman Bill Foussard said the Foundation is “pleased to have the opportunity to be the fiscal sponsor for Giving Gardens, an important project for our community.”

Contributors can now make tax-exempt donations to Giving Gardens by donating online or by check made out to GWBLCF with Giving Gardens Fund in the memo line.

Giving Gardens began its operations in Spring 2017 by offering 50 raised-bed gardens at no cost to community members who wished to adopt them.

Garden beds included the structure, dirt, compost, seed and/or started plants to start growing produce.

“The idea was to eliminate any and all barriers to someone wanting to get involved and adopt a garden bed to grow produce for the community, and even their own table,” Harms said of the basic philosophy behind the project. Giving Gardens then expects its growers to donate a majority (51 percent or more) of the produce harvested to a local food shelf or partnered community service program.

Harms’ idea seems to be working. To date, the growers of Giving Gardens have donated a total of 500 pounds of produce to the White Bear Area Emergency

Food Shelf, and 150 pounds to the White Bear Lake Senior Program.

Due to popular demand, Giving Gardens is announcing that 100 more 4-by-8-foot raised-bed gardens will be available for the community to adopt this fall for the 2018 growing season.

Giving Gardens will be delivering and installing the raised bed structure, dirt and compost to those adopting over the weekend of Oct. 28-29. Another followup delivery will be made in late April/ Early May with the seeds and/or started plants to round out the all inclusive, free, garden bed package.

Harms said there are plenty of opportunities for community members to get involved with the nonprofit. Not only can someone adopt a garden bed, but they can be a sponsor if gardening isn't their thing. He's hoping sponsors will contribute $100 towards a raised garden bed.

“This is a great opportunity for businesses, organizations, clubs, churches and individuals to grow their philanthropic footprint in a highly impactful way,” Harms said. “Give the gift of growing by providing all of the materials needed for a complete garden bed.”

Donations of any amount are welcome and deeply appreciated. Donations can be made online through givinggardensmn.org, or by check/cash mailed to the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation, P.O. Box 10626, White Bear Lake, MN 55110. If writing a check, please write “Giving Gardens Fund” on the memo line.

Volunteers are welcome. There is a need specifically associated with the fall garden bed delivery launch, taking place Saturday, Oct. 28 and Sunday, Oct. 29.

Interested groups or parties can contact Giving Gardens on the volunteer section of givinggardensmn.org or simply email givinggardensmn@gmail.com.

Back to the drawing board for Admiral D’s

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The owner of Admiral D’s won’t have to wait a year to bring another proposal to the city.

Brian McGoldrick’s plans to more than double the size of his restaurant, add a rooftop bar and install a louvered roof over the remaining patio got a thumbs down from City Council at its Aug. 22 meeting.

The main point of contention was his request for a 50foot variance from the 50-foot setback from ordinary high water level. Since the only direction he can build out is towards the lake, the variance would put the edge of the restaurant on the ordinary high water mark.

Normally when a variance is denied the applicant must wait a year to reapply. In McGoldrick’s case, the council waived that restriction.

Like the Planning Commission before it, the council felt constructing a building wall right up to the lake was “not reasonable.” The addition would also encroach into the shore impact zone so “granting of the variance would be contrary to the intent of the zoning code” and having it so close to the shoreline, read the resolution to deny, “is not in keeping with the character of the immediate area.”

Community Development Director Anne Kane provided council a quick timeline of the Lake Avenue site’s development, which is on land owned by the White Bear Shopping Center.

The 200-slip marina opened in 1975; in 1993, a small storage shed was built on the parcel. In 2007, food and beverage service was offered from the shed, which was expanded for restrooms. In 2008, McGoldrick received approval for a 920-square-foot restaurant with a 32-foot setback.

Kane noted that staff has had discussions with McGoldrick many times since his April application and expressed a lack of support. He was encouraged to revise the plan to stay out of the shoreline impact zone if year-round operation was his goal, she told council.

Unlike other establishments in the Marina Triangle, parking is not an issue since patrons have use of the shopping center lot.

Some council members took issue with the location of a metal stairway leading to the rooftop bar. The stairs would be on an easement that allows access to a sewer main. Councilman Dan Jones asked the applicant to “find another way.”

Councilman Bill Walsh expressed mixed feelings about the plan, saying he would like to see different rules for the commercial district. “I do want to see Admiral D’s expand,” he said. “The hardest part is the setback.”

Jones followed by saying a zero-foot setback “doesn’t bother me. But I want a nice building with nice materials.”

Councilman Kevin Edberg was not fine with a zero-foot setback. He preferred 25 feet to keep the expansion within the shore impact zone. That zone is half of the setback from the ordinary high water level and is meant to keep a vegetative buffer between the water and a building.

City attorney Andy Pratt reminded council that variances “must be in harmony with the general zoning ordinance and with the comprehensive plan. The resolution to deny is reasonable. I don’t want those reasons lost in the records. There are reasons for setbacks to protect the lakeshore.”

Setbacks didn’t exist when other buildings along Lake Avenue’s waterfront were constructed, the attorney pointed out. Many properties have no setback in the Marina

Triangle district.

The attorney then added that economic considerations cannot justify a variance.

After a motion to deny was passed 5-0, Jones encouraged the council to come up with a setback number to give McGoldrick something to work with. He proposed an 8-foot setback from the ordinary high water level instead of zero.

That would mean a 42-foot variance.

Eight feet could still provide an aisle for servers and small tables against the rail under an overhang.

Jones said he could support 8 feet and followed that up with a “just kidding” about allowing zero setback. “I wasn’t really going to go to zero feet,” he admitted.

Edberg was against the compromise.

“The city went through a deliberate process to establish a 25-foot setback,” he maintained. “I don’t see why we have an interest in changing that. It is wrong. Pushing this development within the protected area is wrong.”

In response, Jones said then the city should never do any variances. “We do these case by case. The plan is harmonious with the area. What did we just build? Boatworks Commons, to bring people down to the Marina Triangle.”

Asked what his timeline was on the project, McGoldrick replied, “Yesterday. But I understand the need to go slow and get it right.

“This little building is more controversial than any business I’ve been involved in,” he added. “Eight feet levels the playing field. I would appreciate 8 feet.”

Kane asked council to send their recommendations back to the Planning Commission.

“Some components are palatable,” she said. “This gives the applicant confidence to invest money in final plans.”

Mahtomedi grad helping baseball team rise at basketball-crazy Kentucky

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Sean Hjelle, the Mahtomedi graduate who emerged as the University of Kentucky’s ace pitcher as a sophomore this spring, is wrapping up a rare summer of playing no baseball.

“Just the second time in the last 15 years I haven’t played,” said Hjelle, reached by phone in Lexington. “I’ve been down here just resting my arm and working. The only other time I haven’t played in the summer was two years ago, after I signed, and I spent the summer here working out just like now.”

Hjelle, a 6-foot-11 right-hander — he averaged 15 points in basketball as a senior at Mahtomedi, but was always all-in for baseball — was named Southeastern Conference (SEC) Pitcher of the Year this season.

A lean 215-pounder throwing in the low 90s, he posted an 11-4 record and 3.39 earned-run-average with 102 strikeouts and just 33 walks in 108 2/3 innings. In SEC play, he was 7-1 with a 1.90 ERA. After playing summer ball for Elmira, N.Y., last summer, Hjelle was slated to play in the prestigious Cape Cod league this summer, but elected to take a break instead. The Wildcats’ weekend fall scrimmages will start in early September.

Kentucky, fabled for the basketball program that’s logged eight NCAA championships, has never been known for its baseball prowess, but the Wildcats enjoyed a breakout season in 2017, and Hjelle was a big part of it.

The Wildcats went 43-23, won an NCAA region tournament for the first time, and were ranked No. 9 at the end of the season. The bubble burst with two losses at the super-regionals, as they fell short of the College World Series.

“It was a very special year. Some people are saying it’s the best season Kentucky ever had,” said Hjelle. ‘The guys on this team were just great. A new coaching staff came in, and instilled a culture with a family atmosphere that was incredible.”

sippi State, took over the program in 2017 and was named SEC Coach of the Year. Hjelle said he also liked his original coach, Brad Bohanan, who was recently named Alabama’s new head coach. “We play Alabama, so that’ll be great,” he said.

Hjelle was spotted by Bohanan at a college tryout camp in Kenosha, Wis., while in high school. When Hjelle visited Lexington, he was hooked: “As soon as I set foot on campus, I knew it was for me.”

Hjelle could afford to be choosy. After helping the Zephyrs reach state his last two years, he was a finalist for the Mr. Baseball award and was listed by the scouting group Perfect Game USA as the top pitching prospect in Minnesota and the state's No. 2 prospect overall.

His coach, John Hardgrove, assessed at the time: “It’s a whole different angle that’s he’s throwing from and he’s a pretty consistent arm slot. The amazing thing about Sean is his athleticism. I mean, his feet are so quick and he fields his position extremely well, and he’s got all the tools.”

Hjelle said the Kentucky coaches “told me I’d be a reliever the first year, then a starter, and that’s how it’s happened.” He had a strong freshman year, setting a school record with eight saves, and was named to the freshman All-America team by Collegiate Baseball. Well-prepared for the starting rotation this year, he made the most of the opportunity.

Of course, he’s taken in a few Kentucky basketball games, too. “Oh, sure. I still love basketball.

My favorite was when Kansas came and I sat in the ‘Eruption Zone’ under the basket. That was a fantastic game.” (Kansas won 79-73).

His freshman year, the basketball team invited the baseball team to make a halftime appearance at a game and to nominate a member to dunk the ball.

Hjelle was the obvious choice — although he missed the first attempt in front of 25,000 fans. When the Louisville Courier did a feature on Hjelle that spring, for his success as the team’s closer, he quipped that “missing a dunk in front of 25,000 people was good preparation” for the pressures of SEC baseball, and that it would be a funny story he could always tell.

Always an excellent student, Hjelle is majoring in secondary education with a goal of becoming a high school history teacher. Those plans could be delayed if a pro baseball offer came along, which wouldn’t be surprising for a D-I pitching ace with low 90s speed and a good changeup. “I don’t pay any attention to that,” Hjelle said. “I’m committed to playing for Kentucky.”

Bear kickers stymie first two opponents

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Strong on the back end, White Bear Lake has opened its soccer season with a pair of victories — 2-0 win over Hill-Murray and 5-1 over North St. Paul, both at home.

Along with stout defense, the Bears got a huge offensive game from Loren Altman with four goals against North.

“Our back three played especially hard, tracking the ball all the way to the goal, with good communication, and blocking the passing lanes,” coach Karl Jende assessed, after the win over Hill-Murray on Thursday.

He referred to Spencer Millard, Kasey Schroeder, and a combo of Zach Thom and Jackson Rush. The defenders got good support from midfielders Grant Miller and Francois Moua. The goalie,

Colin Hupert, didn’t get much pressure, but made the stops when needed.

Karsten Kletti notched the first goal, on a rebound in the first half. With 17 seconds left in the game, Rush found the back of the net after the Pioneer goalie

stopped three other shots.

Altman, a junior mid-fielder who had two goals last season, tripled his career total with the burst against the Polars.

Ehlers had the other goal.

BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

First one of the season BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Carter Ehlers of the Bears headed the ball in front of Hill-Murray’s Morgan Giese.

Claire Odmark of White Bear Lake cranks up to launch the first goal of the soccer season last Thursday at home, in the eighth minute against defending state champion Centennial, which rallied in the second half to win 2-1. The Bears bounced back to defeat Eastview 2-1 on Saturday with Kayla Anderson notching both goals.

Specialty shots you need to know I’m assuming that most of you have some semblance of a pre-shot routine. For most people, it’s nothing more than taking a practice swing before you hit your shot.

In previous columns I’ve written about establishing realistic goals, and why they can help you become a better golfer. I can’t think of a Tee Time more important goal than perfecting your pre-shot routine.

Betsy The pre-shot routine helps you accomplish four things. First, it helps Larey you concentrate. It’s not possible to concentrate for four hours in a row.

By breaking it down into manageable segments (30 – 45 seconds) you can better focus on the task at hand.

Second, it helps remove tension from your body.

You cannot play good golf if you are anxious or if your mind is clouded with too many mechanical thoughts. There is no greater saboteur of the golf swing than tension.

Third, a solid pre-shot routine instills confidence.

And there is no greater creator of tension than a lack of confidence in your ability to make the swing. Finally, a good pre-shot routine helps you produce perfect alignment at address.

The entire process should not take more than 30 – 45 seconds and can be easily completed without feeling rushed. Too much time over the ball allows for too many mechanical thoughts to entire your mind. I break the process into three components; the analysis box, the commitment line and the performance box.

The analysis box is where you consider yardage, the lie, shot options, club selection, any hazards that may come into play, wind, etc. Once you’ve processed this information it’s time to take your practice swing. Whether you do this on the side of the ball or behind is a personal preference. For purposes of speedy play you should only take one, unless you are greenside or have an unusual lie.

The last part of the analysis is picking your target line. You need to do this from behind the ball in order to see the line. The human eye can’t see sideways, so never readjust your alignment from the side of the ball. Remember, your stance line is always left (for right handed golfers) of your target line. I pick out a spot 6 – 8 inches in front of my ball to set up to because it’s easier than looking 200 yards away.

At this point it’s time to walk across the commitment line to the ball. If you ever watch golf on TV you may have seen a player set up to the ball, then step away and walk back behind the ball. What’s happened is he/she is not totally committed to the shot. At this point you are back in the analysis box and you start the process all over again. The worst thing you can do is to make a change after you’ve crossed the commitment line, because your swing will probably be a defensive swing and tentative at best.

The performance box is where you want the right side of your brain to take over. Time and again I see players standing over the ball entirely too long. All the thinking should have been done in the analysis box, not here. Once you’re set, I recommend you turn and stare at the target for a few seconds. This is a very right brain technique, and

OPEN HOUSE

what you’re doing is planting “target’ in your brain instead of mechanical swing thoughts.

If you stand stationary and stare at the ball instead of the target, you’ll become too rigid and lose focus. Remember the ball is not the target, the target is the target. If you still feel tense over the ball, take a deep breath and exhale.

There’s an additional thing you can do to help your confidence. If you hit a poor shot by all means watch it, but take a post shot swing before you put your club away. Your mind remembers the last thing you did and you want to remember the good one!

Immigrant nation: Following the green card dream

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

SHOREVIEW — When Lah Lah starts college this fall with the dream to become a nurse, she won’t need to sneak outside any walls to work in order to pay for her tuition — like she did while attending school in a refugee camp in Thailand.

Lah, who fled Myanmar with her family when she was three due to the genocide of her Karen ethnicity, lived in the refugee camp for 15 years. Although the refugees were required to stay inside the walls, they were also required to pay for school.

Most students only went to school through fourth or sixth grade, Lah said. Her parents, who were farmers, had no land to work and lived off rice rations and vegetables. Lah sometimes snuck outside the walls to work to pay for her schooling. Once, she was caught on the way back to the camp and all of her money was taken away, she remembered.

“So, we don’t have any freedom,” Lah told a group attending the Green Card Voices event where she was sharing her story at the Shoreview library Aug. 5. “It is so hard for my family to find money to support me with my education.”

Lah was the dreamer in her family; she tried to convince her family to move to America for several years before they did, she said.

“At first I talked to my parents to come to America but they do not want to come because they said, ‘The country is huge and we don’t know their language and how can we survive there and everything is like completely different,’” Lah remembered.

When her father passed away and her school fees increased as she advanced to higher grades, Lah convinced her mother and grandmother to make the move with her younger brother.

Lah arrived in Minnesota in 2013 and attended LEAP (Limited English Achievement Program) High School, a school in St. Paul for recent immigrants. She graduated this spring and plans to attend Metropolitan State University this fall. She hopes to become a nurse and work for the United Nations (UN) to help other refugees.

Lah was one of three panelists sharing their stories and answering questions from attendees at an event to highlight the Green Card Voices display at the Shoreview library this month.

Nima Ahmed also graduated from LEAP High School this spring and plans to attend St. Paul College this fall to study social work or nursing.

She immigrated to the U.S. in 2013 with her parents and nine siblings from Djibouti, which is where they lived as refugees due to the civil war in Somalia.

“When I first came to the U.S. we first moved into Georgia,” Ahmed remembered. “We didn’t know anyone or the language. So it was really complicated for us to get used to the country.” She was put into seventh grade even though she had never been to school.

“I couldn’t even say hi or explain that I needed to go to the bathroom,” Ahmed remembered.

Her family decided to move to Minnesota where there country, invite them over. … People just want to feel is a large Somali population. Ahmed was also able to integrated. They just want a friend.” enroll in the high school geared toward immigrants.

Traveling exhibit shares immigrant stories ‘It’s very interesting being a white refugee’ Majra Gibbons came to the U.S. as a refugee in 2001 from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“I was four years old when the war started in 1992,” Gibbons said while holding her baby Leo. “I have pretty vivid memories of growing up in Bosnia just because some of the events were very traumatic as you can imagine.” She remembers bombing, standing in line for food rations and running quickly from car to car to avoid snipers while going to a building to fill up jugs of water. Her family applied for resettlement and was granted to come to the U.S. Much of her extended family was denied, however.

“We were the last wave of refugees to come from Bosnia because 9/11 happened a couple months later,” Gibbons said. Adjusting to life in the U.S. was not easy.

Her mother was an accountant and her father was an architect but their schooling did not apply in the U.S. As a teenager, Gibbons became the translator for her family. She called the government about their green cards. She remembers feeling overwhelmed when her dad had a surgery and she didn’t know the medical terms for either language.

Immigrating as a white refugee also came with unique challenges.

Gibbons, a Muslim woman who doesn’t wear the stereotypical hijab, explained how hard it was to hear people talking negatively about Muslims around her after 9/11 because they assumed she was not part of that group. She would just go home and cry.

“I’m here because we were religiously persecuted,” she explained.

However, Gibbons and her family eventually adjusted to life in the U.S. and she married a man who grew up in the U.S. two years ago. She works in Shoreview at Land O’Lakes International Development, a nonprofit that works with farmers overseas. She became a citizen in 2009.

“It’s very interesting being a white refugee,” she noted. “With no accent, I present as just an American that has been here for a long time.”

Turning to Lah and Ahmed, Gibbons gave the type of advice an older sister would give: “I am about 10 years ahead of you guys. It gets so much better. I went to college. I got a job. I have a family.”

And to answer a question from an audience member on what she could do to show support to people like her parents: “If you have neighbors from a different

Green Card Voices, a nonprofit organization located in Minneapolis, began in 2013 with the goal to build bridges between immigrant and non-immigrant communities, said Rachel Mueller, program associate. What started as videos expanded into a traveling exhibit.

About 300 stories of immigrants from about 100 different countries have been recorded, including temporary visa holders, refugees and asylees, permanent and temporary residents and citizens.

The exhibit includes storyboards with QR code links that load a video story when scanned with a smart phone app. Stories include Minnesotans who have immigrated from Bangladesh, Belarus, Cambodia, Canada, China, Columbia, Cuba, Ethiopia, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Guinea, India, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Poland, Somalia, Togo and the United Kingdom. Many came to the U.S. to study or work and pursue their dreams.

Stories range in diversity from Tony Olivia, who immigrated to the U.S. from Cuba when the Twins offered him a contract to Irma Marquez-Trapero, whose parents chose to stay in the U.S. with lapsed passports after a two-year stay. Marquez-Trapero received a social security number from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program after graduating from college.

Ramsey County Library has hosted the Green Card Voices exhibit at two other libraries this summer, in Maplewood and Roseville, said Carol Jackson, Ramsey County Library – Shoreview manager. The idea came from teen librarian Amy Boese, Jackson noted. The library pays a small rental fee for the exhibit.

Ramsey County Library Director Jill Boldenow said the exhibit is another way to present biography.

“It tells you a lot about the world as well as what is happening in the community today,” she noted. Green Card Voices has also published three books of immigrant stories.

The traveling exhibit will be on display at the Shoreview library through Aug. 31. For more information visit www.greencardvoices.com.

AUGUST 30, 2017 www.presspubs.com

Late 1800s house on Lake Avenue finally sells After 12 years on the market, the three-story Victorian at 4631 Lake Ave. in White Bear Lake has sold.

Edina Realtor Chris Petersen said a St. Paul couple is closing on the home at the end of August.

“They loved the old charm of the house, its proximity to downtown and owning lakeshore property,” noted Petersen, who is the seventh agent to market the 1889 home.

Users of Lake Avenue will recognize the teal-colored, tri-level house with its wraparound porches, perennial gardens and unique roofline. It's been for sale a long time.

According to Petersen, who didn't name the current or future owners, the house has only had three stewards. Among its features are four bedrooms, four baths, solid wood pocket doors and a grand staircase leading upstairs. The kitchen has cherrywood cabinets and parlor windows hold stained glass from an 1881 church.

The home last sold in 2005 for $44,400, according to a record search. The most recent asking price was $625,000.

The owners spent a lot of time and energy restoring the 4,058-square-foot house, Petersen said. They have decided it's time to downsize.

The property includes 53 feet of lakeshore and a 50-foot lot. A fourstall attached garage with a bonus room above sits behind the house.

There is also a two-stall detached garage. Taxes on the property in 2015 were $7,872.

The home was in constant states of restoration early on, Petersen pointed out, and people didn't want to buy an unfi nished project.

“Lake level was low during that time, too, and all lakeshore property sales were softer,” he said.

“But sales are picking up.”

Mahtomedi accepts all open enrollment middle school students

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — Every middle-schooler who applied for open enrollment in Mahtomedi Public Schools was offered a slot this year.

Four sixth-graders, six seventh-graders and two eighth-graders were offered slots. One was a first-priority sibling.

Overall, 20 students were offered slots a few weeks before the beginning of school at a board meeting Aug. 10.

Superintendent Mark Larson said he recommended the School Board accept them due to increasing denial of offered spots.

This year, 45 students have declined open enrollment, he said. “We are seeing more students deny once they have been accepted,” Larson explained.

Board Chair Lucy Payne said she was surprised Larson was recommending accepting so many students because she thought they felt good where they were at during the last open enrollment window earlier this summer.

“I am trying to understand the rationale for adding these students,” Payne said.

Larson said that seven students had also recently withdrawn from the district and it could be possible that more students would move out by the start of school.

Last year, 11 students withdrew

between the board's final enrollment decision and the start of school. That was unusual and unlikely to happen but Larson said he thought the district's numbers were “probably a little bit artificially high.”

“I'd rather be high with an enrollment than low for strictly budgetary reasons,” he explained.

Five first-graders and three second-graders were also accepted. One was a first-priority sibling. Forty-seven kindergarten applications were denied.

Seventeen freshmen, seven sophomores and five juniors on the waiting list were denied.

Eleven third- and fifth-grade first-priority siblings were denied. Enrollment was closed for non-sibling thirdthrough fifth-graders and 12th-graders in February.

Walk or bike to school this fall Embrace the feeling of joy and independence that comes with walking or biking to school this fall.

Think of it as an adventure with a multitude of benefits, and do it safely using a specially made map and following the walk/bike tips listed.

A Safe Routes to School map is available on the Mahtomedi Public Schools website outlining routes to Wildwood, O.H. Anderson and Mahtomedi Middle School. Visit the district website at www.mahtomedi. k12.mn.us, click on the About tab and fi nd the Safe Routes to Schools

link on the left.

The community benefits from increased walking/biking by enjoying less traffic congestion, a stronger sense of community and safer streets because drivers are more cautious when they expect to encounter walkers and bicyclists.

“THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD” (R) [STRONG VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT.]

— After a fleet of Interpol agents are taken out by a bunch of tenacious henchmen (Sam Hazeldine, et al.) while escorting a notorious hitman (Samuel L. Jackson, who is married to a feisty, incarcerated Mexican (Salma Hayek) to the International Court of Justice in Amsterdam in this highly entertaining, hilarious, fast-paced, action-packed, violent, star-studded (Richard E. Grant and Joaquim de Almeida), 118-minute comedy based on the Tim O’Connor novel and filled with terrific dialogue and martial arts and car chase choreography, an Interpol agent (Elodie Yung) contacts her former boyfriend and skilled, triple-A-rated, downon-his-luck bodyguard (Ryan Reynolds) to get the star witness from Manchester, England, to the Hague in Amsterdam for the trial of an evil ruthless Eastern European despot (Gary Oldman).

WEEKLY AVERAGES

August 2017 will go down as the coldest August since 2004. AUG. 30 TO SEPT. 5 2017 Most Metro stations are running a good 5° colder than High 77° normal. The summer of 2004 was very cool with June, July Low 57° and August all colder than normal. Fear not, this did not translate into a bitter winter for 04-05; in fact, it turned %Sun 64% out to be a mild fall and winter. Rainfall was really active in PCP 0.87” August. After a July which saw many stations reporting less than 2 inches, many stations totaled 5 to 7 inches this August.

Crossword

Fun Fact The name Lemur is actually Latin for “spirits of the night”.

“THE ONLY LIVING BOY IN NEW YORK” (R) [LANGUAGE AND SOME DRUG MATERIAL.]

Did you know?

— Jealousy, guilt, and secrets run rampant after a 25-year-old wannabe writer and recent college graduate (Callum Turner) discovers that his wealthy publisher father (Pierce Brosnan) is cheating on his artistic, depressed, guilt-ridden wife (Cynthia Nixon) in New York with a gorgeous coworker (Kate Beckinsale) in this low-key, languid-paced, psychological, 98-minute film based on Allan Loeb’s novel, and he disappoints his best friend (Kiersey Clemons) by sleeping with his father’s mistress himself and then learns a long-buried secret from an eccentric, alcoholic writer (Jeff Bridges) in his Manhattan apartment building.

Blue and white are the most common school colors.

Sudoku

“THE TRIP TO SPAIN” (NR) CLUES ACROSS — Scrumptious food, interesting intellectual conversation, witty banter, stunning scenery and architecture, and wacky improv and impersonations highlight this engaging, lowkey, partially scripted, 115-minute film that is a sequel to “The Trip” and “The Trip to Italy” and follows actor/writer Steve Coogan and his friend Rob Brydon as they travel from one Spanish town to another sampling the delectable food.

“WIND RIVER” (R) [STRONG VIOLENCE, A RAPE, DISTURBING IMAGES AND LANGUAGE.]

— After a beautiful Native American teenager (Kelsey Asbille) who lives with her parents (Gil Birmingham and Kelsey Chow) and is dating an older man (Jon Bernthal) is found raped, beaten, and frozen to death on a snow-covered Wyoming reservation in this engaging, factually inspired, heartbreaking, well-acted, 110-minute film, an FBI agent (Elizabeth Olsen) from Colorado joins forces with a divorced veteran game tracker (Jeremy Renner) for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the tribal police chief (Graham Greene) to search for answers in her tragic death.
