The news is good. White Bear Lake teen Kayla Jones is walking and communicating, although she may give odd answers to simple questions.

Her dad, city Councilman Dan Jones, said every day is a good day for his 19-year-old daughter, who is overcoming tremendous odds following serious injuries she suffered July 30. That Saturday night Kayla was hit by a pickup truck while crossing a busy street in Duluth.

Dan said a therapist called her a "1 percenter" — meaning her chances for recovery were not favorable. "From the beginning to where she is today, her chance of survival was slim," Dan said. "We were told many patients wouldn't be this far along. There's a lot more optimism in rehab as opposed to where we came from in SEE KAYLA STRONG, PAGE 8A

Corn roast at the fair: A family affair

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

FALCON HEIGHTS – At the State Fair corn roast stand, by the grandstand, if you look closely you will see either a blonde or a brunette young lady standing above the roasters with a clipboard while hundreds of ears of steaming corn are passed to customers by dozens of workers. If you look even closer, one of them might be wearing corn cob earrings.

Those sisters – Sarah Ribar on the morning shift and Libby Huettl on the evening shift – literally grew up at the State Fair corn roast stand and are shift supervisors. Their dad, Brad Ribar of White Bear Township, started the stand in 1985 when Libby was just a baby.

“I have been at the fair every year since I was born,” said 25-year-old Sarah, a 2009 White Bear Lake High School alumna. Their brother

Matt Ribar, also a White Bear Lake alum, now operates his own fair food stand not far away; he sells poutine.

Sarah said she doesn’t take a full-time job unless her boss allows her to take time off to work the State Fair with her dad each August.

She works at a salon. Libby is a teacher.

Brad Ribar employs over 100 people at his corn roast stand. Several are usually from the White Bear Lake area each year. Ribar’s neighbor Connor Donovon, a 2014 White Bear Lake High School alum, is in his sixth summer at the corn stand.

Donovan’s job is to unload the truck of corn each night and put the hundreds of ears in a giant fridge. Each night, corn that was picked that day arrives at the stand for the next day’s customers. When the Press visited Friday, SEE CORN ROAST, PAGE 8A

COMMUNITY BRIEF Looking for hospice volunteers Allina Health is seeking volunteers in White Bear Lake, Dellwood, Vadnais Heights, and surrounding communities to offer companionship to hospice patients. There are opportunities for encouraging reminiscing and assistance with activities such as writing, reading, or just sitting outside to visit on a nice day. Volunteers visit hospice patients in their private homes or in residential care facilities. In a private home volunteers might also offer to run an errand, provide some light house-keeping assistance, or give a weekly respite of 2-4 hours to a caregiver family member.

Online training and a group training session in St. Paul are required prior to visiting patients.

For information and to apply call (612) 262-7108 or visit http://www.allinahealth.org/hospicevolunteer

Township theater sold Muller Family Theatres has changed ownership.

Brothers Mike and Bob Muller sold their eight theaters to Northwoods Entertainment LLC in late July but the public won’t notice a change until early October.

Staff has been retained, noted Dale Haider, director of operations, who was a Muller employee for 18 years before being hired by new owners Jon and Loren Goldstein.

There will be no immediate changes to the White Bear Township theater, Haider said, as other locations are higher on the remodel priority list. “We are planning changes but with eight buildings, it takes time,” he noted.

The eight metro theaters will be renamed Emagine Entertainment, a Detroit-based theater chain that has

ties to Jon Goldstein. Haider described Northwoods Entertainment LLC as the ownership group, but operations will fall under Emagine Entertainment.

Without giving specifics, Haider indicated that the theaters will be “fashioned after those in Detroit but tweaked for Minnesota.”

Mike Muller, 76, told other media outlets he was ready to retire after almost 40 years in the business.

The investment in high-back recliners and premium bars are the trend now, he said, and too large an investment for someone his age. Brother Bob was more of a silent partner.

Jon Goldstein also owns nine theaters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and Indiana.

Calling it a great success story, ecologist and monarch expert Bob Djupstrom and fellow butterfly aficionado Helen Gehrenbeck collected 15 caterpillars from Cerenity Care Center's small monarch garden.

"It is utterly amazing that the eggs hatched and the caterpillars were eating the milkweed seedlings we planted July 13," Gehrenbeck said.

"The residents were thrilled."

The two White Bear Lake residents shared their passion for the state butterfly by planting 25 milkweed seedlings in a 4x6 foot garden at Cerenity. Now 2 feet tall, the plants provide the only food monarchs will eat.

The caterpillars were collected and put in a wooden "monarch condo" Djupstrom made from an upside-down paper towel holder.

The insects will mature in the wooden box to keep them safe from predators. Djupstrom said about 95 percent of monarch caterpillars don't survive.

Once these morph into butterflies, the monarchs will be released to begin their journey to Mexico, a 2500-mile migration.

Post office scores 100 percent, celebrates 100 years

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WILLERNIE — When the Press reporter walked into the post office Aug. 25, Postmaster Steve Boughan was poring over a zip code directory with a customer, double-checking an address in the giant volume spread out on the counter.

The post office received USPS national recognition this summer for scoring 100 percent in all areas on a customer survey. When Boughan was done assisting all the other customers in line, he agreed to speak with the Press — in between customers.

The Willernie Post Office scored 100 percent in quarter two of this year on a customer satisfaction survey found at the bottom of receipts. Customers can visit a web address or scan the QR code on the receipt.

Boughan said this is the first time they have received recognition from the national headquarters in Washington, D.C. in his 14 years of being postmaster.

Willernie was among 305 of 17,000 eligible post offices recognized in quarter two this year. Also, to qualify for the 100 percent recognition, at least 20 respondents are needed. There are about 31,000 post offices in the country.

The survey consists of questions about whether the person in the front window was knowledgeable, courteous and helpful, said Pete Nowacki, corporate communi-

cations specialist.

“It is an easy way for us to take the pulse of what the customers are thinking,” Nowacki said.

Boughan credits the recognition to his two other employees, the ones who are usually at the window. Jaci Tennyson has worked there 24 years and Julie Knoepke has worked there six months. Knoepke came from a small post office in Grantsburg, Wisconsin.

Tennyson enjoys the small town feel of the post office.

“Everybody is friendly and you get to know people,” she said.

“We are a busy window,” said Boughan, who has also worked at post offices as close by as Stillwater and as far away as San Diego.

Willernie, a population of about 500, doesn't have mailboxes or door-to-door delivery due to its narrow streets.

Instead, every resident has their own post office box.

“We obviously get to know the people in the community that live here,” Boughan said. “You kind of become like a little family.” Boughan also noted residents like having post office boxes due to the added security of their mail and packages. And the boxes are the vintage style of the ’50s — painted gold with turn knobs.

Boughan said visitors often ask if they can just take a picture of the post office boxes.

The Willernie Post Office also serves surrounding communities such as Mahtomedi and Stillwater. The next-closest post office is on the other side of the lake in

downtown White Bear Lake.

Boughan said they always try to treat their customers well and get them the best value.

“First and foremost is a smile and a positive attitude that we try to have,” he said. They also try to get customers the best deal by using their knowledge of postal zoning. In zones one to four, for example, it is better to use priority mail versus standard mail because it is the same price, and customers get free insurance and a box.

“We get numerous comments and compliments from customers; that that is the reason they like coming here, that we are pleasant and helpful,” Boughan said.

Still the heart of the community The Willernie Post Office is also celebrating 100 years of service this summer. The post office was established in July of 1916 within a general store.

An Aug. 7, 1991, White Bear Press article on the post office's 75th anniversary describes the post office as the heart of the Willernie community. Former postmaster Bob Ingham and postal clerk Agnes Gerver recalled the history of the post office. The post office gave out loans, wrote money orders and helped find a missing couple in Canada. In its early days, it served as a go-between if someone needed a doctor, nurse or housekeeper.

Gerver even provided free stamps to families for thank you notes after funerals.

“Everybody knew everybody else and everybody else's kids,” Gerver said. "I knew all their names and their children's, too,” reads the article by Dawn Johnson.

Although the post office has changed in the last 100 years, it hasn't changed as much as one might think. It is still the heart of the Willernie community, and a place where a friendly, familiar face will greet you — and double-check an address with you.

The “S&S Press”

T

he fi rst newspaper I ever wrote for was the “S&S Neighborhood Press.” My twin brother Steven and I were both the editors, designers and carriers. Hence the “S&S,” for Sara and Steven.

The newspaper started as a language arts home-schooling assignment in fourth grade.

However, some of our neighbors loved the paper so much that we carried it on for at least a year afterward when we were no longer home-schooled.

Our graphics were the awesome clip art of the ’90s. We reported on school news, weather and home improvements. We reported on a gasoline smell in the river, an Story abandoned boat, and the results of a neighborhood capture the flag Chaser game. When one of our neighbors’ Sara Marie Moore flood-stricken home made national news with a community sandbagging we were there with the local scoop b i effort, ff on the neighbors who had helped sandbag.

We would deliver the newspaper to our neighbors on our bikes. We were 11 years old.

One of the most important tenets of journalism, I learned then: A newspaper depends on the community for news. There were a few times when the “S&S Neighborhood Press” mostly had information about ourselves in it. Maybe we were busy playing capture the flag instead of scouring the streets, or maybe our neighborhood sources were quiet that week.

Another important tenet of journalism I learned in my fi rst reporter job in Williston, North Dakota. When I interviewed people and covered events and meetings, I discovered my main goal as a journalist is to help people to see the significance of the stories in their lives.

The slogan of the Williston Daily Herald was: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

Good news, bad news and controversial news are all true and all have the potential to bring a community together.

Press Publications’ slogan is: “Your best source for community information.” When I meet new people and they find out I am a journalist, one of the most common questions they ask me is ‘How do you get your stories?’ I always tell people about one-third of my stories come from meetings or events in the community, one-third comes from press releases, tips or scoops from the community, and one-third are my own ideas I pursue when I come across something interesting.

That means one-third of our news depends on you, the greater community. When the Department of Natural Resources put herbicides in local lakes earlier this summer to treat Eurasian watermilfoil, they didn’t tell us, they didn’t send a public notice. It was people from the community who contacted us with the scoop, from plastic baggies floating in the water.

Thank you to those of you who contact us with your story ideas. We can’t always fit in every idea, but we value your tips and scoops. Every life is a story. It’s so easy to forget how important and influential our lives are. Community newspapers remind us of that.

School starts up again next week. Youth will once again be taking on projects in all sorts of academic disciplines. We should take them seriously and cultivate their passions. They are the next generation of community builders.

The support of my neighbors for the “S&S Neighborhood Press” from two 11-year-olds still inspires me 20 years later.

“The most important job of community newspapers is to persuade people that their lives are important.” – Bernard Stein, New York weekly co-publisher Sara Marie Moore is editor of the Shoreview Press and Vadnais Heights Press.

Students have “Olympic” potential

E

ach year at the end of the summer anyone with a keen eye recognizes that school will begin soon. Families are out shopping for notebooks, crayons, number 2 pencils and calculators, and children proudly show off new backpacks.

Orange buses crisscross town as drivers negotiate alternative routes to avoid road closures and bridge construction.

In the evening, Movers & neighborhood schools hold oriShakers entation sessions.

Michael Lovett These bring families together again i after ft a long summer.

Children see friends and ask, “Do we have any classes together?” while parents and teachers exclaim,“Wow, look how much you have grown this summer.”

In a few days it will be Labor Day. School bags and backpacks will be set out the night before, alarm clocks set, and restless sleep will be the norm – not only for students and parents, but for teachers and staff as well. Will the alarm fail and the school year begin with a mad rush to school or an embarrassing “tardy”?

This year as I anticipate the fi rst day of school, I am reminded of the world-class performances we have just seen at the Olympics.

These feats of endurance, skill and teamwork are the result of years of training, hard work and dedication.

Just so, when school begins Tuesday, Sept. 6, this day represents weeks and months of planning and teamwork as well as years of experience and skill development on the part of all staff.

School doesn’t just “happen.”

When children walk in the door of school next week, some will be excited, others anxious, some confident, others needing encouragement. All will face challenges – and rightly so. No goal worth achieving comes without effort and dedication – just like those Olympic athletes.

And like the myriad of nations represented at the Olympics, our schools also represent the nations of the world. Today we are a school community serving nearly 9000 students at 17 sites, and our students come from homes where 56 different languages are spoken besides English.

Now, no athlete makes it to the Olympics without the support and sacrifice of coaches, family, and friends. Yes, each athlete has talent and potential, but no one

achieved these goals alone. You have heard their stories. It was others who convinced them, believed in them. challenged them, encouraged them and wouldn’t let them quit short of their goals.

I like to think that we see “Olympic potential” in each of our students. I believe that each student has the capacity for learning, character and compassion. This is the “Olympic-quality goal” we direct our students toward. This is the goal we are committed to helping them achieve. We look forward to them “standing on the podium” someday because they have faced challenges, persevered and overcome them. As teachers, staff and administrators we stand by them, encouraging, “coaching,” cheering and believing in them.

We won’t give up and we won’t let them give up either.

At the start of the Olympics, coaches, families and fans cry, “Let the Games begin!” So I would like to cheer—on behalf of all of us in the White Bear Lake Area Schools—“Go Bears! Let the school year begin!”

Michael J. Lovett, Ph.D., is Superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools.

Top 10 ways to be successful at a business meal

ast week, I interviewed some college students who were at an etiquette dinner. I had seen the posters around the UW-River Falls campus and I was curious to see if young people were interested or if proper etiquette was even on their radar.

Not only are students interested, some want to master etiquette and have attended multiple times, like Osceola resident Donald Carufel.

I’ve known Carufel since he and our oldest son played football. When Carufel would come over for pregame dinners, he was very polite and shy. Now he is a tall, handsome, well-dressed and confident man, who proudly explained the importance of proper etiquette.

“This is the tenth dinner I’ve attended and I learn something new every time. Not only is learning about how to eat at a social event important, but also the way you dress and if you should pay the bill or not. There are many things you need to learn. I want to get all the skills I can before I enter the workforce.”

Carufel is graduating this spring

and others like him will be ahead of their peers’ etiquette skills and may land their dream job by understanding what to do at a business meal.

Many companies conduct business meetings over a meal, which can be a formal or casual lunch, but knowing what to do can make or break a deal.

According to a survey developed by Wild Chow Robert Half, a large staffing service fi rm, Lisa Erickson almost 50 percent of chief financial officers said their most successful business meetings that occurred outside the office were held over lunch or dinner.

Employers also said that a person's table manners could be a deciding factor in obtaining a signed contract.

An expert in etiquette, Jacqueline Whitmor, says don’t worry what your peers may think of you, they are not the ones making the decisions.

I’m sure some of you may be thinking no one notices “how” we eat, but

Almost 50 percent of chief financial officers said their most successful business meetings that occurred outside the office were held over lunch or dinner. people do.

My own proper business dinner etiquette list coincides with what other professionals have put together.

When you arrive, greet your host with eye contact and a fi rm handshake. Do not sit down until your host is seated.

At a restaurant, order an item that costs less than what the host orders.

If they have not ordered yet, ask for their recommendations. Order something easy to eat. Save the ribs for another time.

Remember to say please and thank you. Ask for items to be passed rather than reaching across the table.

Do not order alcohol — for many reasons, even if the host does.

Order something. You can appear rude if you don’t.

Place your napkin on your lap when your food comes. Use the silverware from the outside in. Your bread will be on your left and beverage to the right of your plate. Sometimes the table settings are so close, it’s hard to tell what’s yours.

Do not touch your food with your fi ngers; spoon sauces onto your own plate; butter your dinner roll in pieces, not like a sandwich.

Cut one piece of meat at a time. Don’t be tempted to cut your entire steak into bite size pieces. Pace your meal — don’t inhale your food.

Don’t talk with food in your mouth, put your elbows on the table or talk about controversial issues like politics and religion.

Remember to smile — when you don’t have a mouthful!

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

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A neighbor, awakened by the buzzing sounds of a Sawzall, looked out his Spring Hill Road bedroom window the morning of Aug. 19 in time to see a man crawl out from under his neighbor’s car holding a freshly-cut catalytic converter.

That didn’t look right, so he phoned in the visitor’s license plate info to 911. Deputies are looking for a pair of St. Paulites. a man and a woman, both 29 and with extensive criminal histories, on felony charges of possession of stolen property and possession of burglary tools.

• A woman wheeled a cart loaded with $350 in stolen merchandise out of WalMart the afternoon of Aug. 22. The thief was collared and the goods recovered.

The 40-year-old out of St. Paul, who has a revoked driver’s license, was holding a set of car keys when arrested but claimed she had been given a ride to the store. The woman was cited for theft and released.

• A shopper attempted to use his credit card for a purchase the afternoon of Aug. 22, but the purchase was declined. The 46-year-old man called his bank and was told the card had been “breached,“ and $440 in transactions had been made to the card by someone else. The man was told he was not responsible for those charges and his card was cancelled.

• A Greenbrier Street resident called 911 about “odd things happening” at his residence the afternoon of Aug. 23. The 46-year-old showed deputies broken glass on the floor, but they could find no other evidence of burglary, and otherwise the man’s property was undisturbed. Deputies reported that the man has claimed suspicious activity several times in the past.

• According to the 67-year-old woman, her 52-year-old boyfriend of 12 years grabbed

The boyfriend, known as “Ricky” (not his real name), came back once to change clothes, and said someone had stolen the car, a ’98 Olds 88, from him “on the freeway.” Ricky said he had pawned the 38-inch Vizio TV, valued at $300, but would be getting it back soon.

Deputies are looking for Ricky on theft charges.

Seniors stand up to scams with help from police

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — If someone calls you asking for iTunes gift cards or Green Dot MoneyPak cards, hang up the phone.

The White Bear Lake Police Department gave advice at the senior center last week on scams it has seen seniors being targeted with this year.

One of the tricks scam artists have been using is to get a senior to go to a nearby store and buy iTunes gift cards or Green Dot MoneyPak cards to pay for a supposed IRS fee or by pretending to be a grandchild in need, reported Sergeant John Vette and Officer Tracy Mlynarczyk. The scam artist will then ask for the ID number on the back of the card; the money is taken off by the scam artist and cannot be retrieved by the victim.

Another less common trick scam artists use is to ask a senior to wire them money. “That is not as common in the last year as these cards are,” Vette said. “Do not buy any cards of any sort for anybody.”

Vette and Mlynarczyk also told seniors that the IRS would never try to contact them by phone first; it is always by letter.

“The IRS will not call you,” Vette said. “They will send you letters if there are any problems with your filings.”

Vette and Mlynarczyk also gave tips to seniors on how to recognize a fake grandchild call. Scam artists will often claim to be a grandchild in need of money due to being in jail or in a car accident. Scam artists will often talk to seniors for up to 45 minutes and it seems like their grandchild because the scam artist will look up information about the senior's area on the internet.

“It's never a quick phone call,” Mlynarczyk said. Scammers will often say, “Don't tell mom and dad, they'd be so mad,” but Mlynarczyk said grandparents should “always check with mom and dad and find out where your grandkids are.”

One woman in White Bear Lake was scammed out of $7,000 this month when she kept going to a store to buy more gift cards until the store eventually refused to let her buy anymore, Vette reported. Seniors are sometimes warned by store clerks but refuse to listen because they are so concerned about their supposed grandchild.

“We have many victims [who] said the lady at the bank and the girl at the store said this might be a scam,” Vette said.

Computer and email scams Another scam that has been common this year is one that will pop up on a computer. It is masked as a virus scanner but is actually a virus that can be picked up on the internet. It pops up with a fake Microsoft or Norton logo. The trick is that it freezes your computer and gives a phone number to call to remove the supposed virus. If you call the number, they will ask for $500 or $1,000 to fix it. But what you should actually do is turn off your computer, turn it back on, and open your real virus scanner to clean off the fake one, reported Mlynarczyk, who had this scam happen to her personally.

“Don't get anything fixed over the phone,” Mlynarczyk said, suggesting seniors bring their computers to a local shop if they need help.

Another common scam this year is a fake Social Security email. It includes a link to a fake website. When a senior enters their Social Security account information

online after clicking on the fake link, it is stored by the scam artist, who can then use it on the real website. Vette and Mlynarczyk told seniors they should always go directly to the real Social Security website, never click on a link. The real website is https://ssa.gov/myaccount/ The “s” after an “http” on a website stands for “secure.”

Bill and fee scams Another common scam this year is a fake phone call from Excel Energy, telling the senior their power or gas will be shut off if they don't immediately pay with gift cards or Green Dot MoneyPak cards. Vette and Mlynarczyk said you should hang up the phone and call Excel Energy directly to verify your bill. Excel does not call people and request them to pay with gift cards.

Another common scam is a fake call from the sheriff's office about a fee that needs to be paid for missing jury duty. The scam artist often threatens the senior with a warrant for their arrest if they don't pay a fine with gift cards or Green Dot MoneyPak cards. But this is not what would happen if someone did actually miss jury duty.

“Police don't collect fines over the phone,” Vette said.

Vette and Mlynarczyk advised seniors to avoid scam artists by simply not picking up any phone number they do not recognize.

“Don't talk to strangers,” Mlynarczyk said. “If it is not someone you recognize, let it go to voicemail.”

If they do happen to pick up a suspicious phone call, they should hang up and call a family member or the police for help.

“Call someone to get help; don't panic, nothing is urgent,” Mlynarczyk said. “People will find a way to get a hold of you if it is a real person with an emergency.”

ICU (intensive care unit). It was always ‘cautious optimism.’ That was drilled into us.”

Still, the family is aware that brain injuries affect people in different ways.

“Each step is scary [in Kayla’s recovery]. You don’t know what is coming next. That makes me anxious. Kayla is a box of chocolates, we don’t know how she will come out. Or what we’re going to get. But that’s OK,” Dan said.

Their daughter doesn’t give up and works hard every day, her dad added.

Her long-term memory is there, but she has little short-term memory. “It gets better every day, though. She is interacting with us. There will be no paralysis.”

The White Bear teen is now recovering at Regions Hospital’s Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Institute. She was transported from Hennepin County Medical Center Aug. 18 (coincidentally by a White Bear Lake firefighter) once her low-grade fever and high heart rate improved.

Caring Bridge postings by Dan describe Kayla’s daily routine now as normal with rehab sessions, meals and naps. Her sessions focus on occupational, physical and speech therapy. Therapists have confirmed no vision problems and she is able to read. Words get jumbled and repeated, but they are there.

“Communication improves daily but finding the right words is a challenge for KK,” Jones writes. Her personality and humor are still intact and her physical

City staff made a “Kayla Strong” sign on behalf of city Councilman Dan Jones, whose daughter Kayla suffered severe injuries when she was hit by a car July 30. Members posed with the sign after the Aug. 23 council meeting. From left: City Attorney Roger Jensen, councilmen Bill Walsh and Doug Biehn; Mayor Jo Emerson; councilmen Dan Jones, Steve Engstran and Kevin Edberg; and City Manager Ellen Richter.

progress continues to be remarkable.

Often referring to himself as a “300-pound man puddle,” Jones said the ordeal has left them “truly thankful for simple, daily mundane tasks that we take for granted.” He was talking about the fact Kayla went from being unable to roll over in bed to brushing her teeth 24 hours later.

And then there’s the outpouring of support.

“The support has been unbelievable,” Jones said. “I can’t say enough about our friends and the community. I’m still

amazed at everything going on.”

Mayor Jo Emerson echoed that sentiment: “You find out how good people are.

It makes you have hope.”

Dan describes his daughter as light-hearted. “She goes through life with a kindness and ease. She enjoys the view,” he said. “It probably helped her in the accident. She didn’t know she got hit, she didn’t tense up.”

Those traits are woven into the Kayla Strong slogan that originated in a hospital elevator after Dan and Sallie’s daughter was airlifted to Minneapolis

the night of the accident. Mom was aboard.

“When we were leaving the hospital in Duluth, Sam (Kayla’s older sister) and I and our good friend were going down the elevator,” Dan recalled. “Sam said, ‘Why Kayla?’ Our oldest and youngest daughters are taller, bigger, stronger.

Sal’s friend said she has ‘Sallie strong’ in her. I looked at her and said, yup, it’s Kayla Strong.”

At this point, fingers crossed, Kayla is scheduled to come home Sept. 8.

CORN ROAST: Yellow ears have been selling for 31 years FROM PAGE 1A

about 800 ears of corn were expected to arrive later that night for Saturday’s crowds. Donovan gets home about 1 a.m. and leaves for another day at 9:30 a.m. But Donovan doesn’t mind the hard work. He is studying business management at UMD and is learning a thing or two from Ribar during the summers.

“It is kind of like a dream that you have to become this big,” said Donovan.

Donovan works with Ribar all summer, traveling to various fairs where Ribar sells cheese curds.

Donovan’s friend Bobby Bloom, also a 2014 White Bear Lake alum, works the 13-hour, 11 a.m. to close shift with Donovan. When the fair is over, it feels a bit surreal to not be surrounded by corn sacks and yellow ears anymore.

“Once it is over, it’s kind of sad,” Bloom said. “But you

always look forward to it the next year.”

Tracy Shie, a high school student who lives in White Bear Lake, works as a server. She hands steaming corn to one customer after another.

“It definitely takes a lot of endurance,” she said.

“You are working long hours.” But she is in her second year and followed in the path of two older siblings who worked at the corn roast in the past. Her older sister was friends with Sarah Ribar.

Brad said most of his employees come from word of mouth and 60 percent of them return for another summer.

Brad’s idea for a corn roast stand at the Minnesota State Fair came when he saw one at a fair in Milwaukee in the 1980s. It was a novel idea and he liked it.

“I volunteered to work for them,” he said. He took what he had learned and perfected the roasted corn business plan for his degree at St. Thomas. But it took

several years before the Minnesota State Fair accepted his idea.

Now he’s 31 years in and doesn’t show signs of stopping – or raising prices. An ear of corn has cost $3 for the last 13 years. The corn roast does well, but Ribar supplements his income with 30 other state fair cheese curd stands.

Ribar lives on Bald Eagle Lake and said he doesn’t see the lake much in the summer. But he doesn’t seem to mind that too much. Before his corn roast stand, he was a sanitation worker at the State Fair.

“I just love the fair,” he said. “I grew up at the State Fair.”

That sounds like something Brad’s daughter said.

Brad’s wife Lori (Peters) also grew up at the State Fair.

It’s a family affair.

Lakeshore Players campaign gets huge boost with $750,000 donation

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

WHITE BEAR LAKE — This August, Lakeshore Players Theatre got one of the best presents it could ask for in the form of a $750,000 donation to help fund the construction of a new performance space on Long Avenue adjacent to the White Bear Center for the Arts.

For years, the theater company has been planning to relocate from its current location in a century-old converted church on Stewart Avenue. The old, intimate theater space has been an iconic part of the White Bear Lake arts community, but the construction of a new building will allow the theater to expand its programming and draw crowds and performers from across the Twin Cities and beyond.

The theater held a “Demolition Party” at Rudy's Rooftop on Highway 61, which welcomed city leaders, theater patrons and many community members to watch as tractors began bulldozing the old Twin Cities Nursery site in preparation for the brand new theater.

Among the guests was Caroline Amplatz, a North Oaks resident, who pledged $750,000 to sponsor one of the new building's two performance spaces.

In her honor, the building’s black box theater, which will be used for the youth theater program and smaller performances, will be known as the Caroline Amplatz Learning Lab Theater.

Amplatz's donation brings the capital campaign to 72 percent completion of its $6.2 million goal.

“Caroline's gift was a huge catalyst,” said Lakeshore Players Executive Director Joan Elwell. “It brought us to the edge of being ready. It's really an investment in our community. All of us at Lakeshore are just so deeply thankful for Caroline's generosity.”

The new theater will include a 240-seat main stage theater, as well as the 70-seat black box. The new building will allow for better accessibility, and will be open for more programs and for longer hours than the theater can currently accommodate.

The black box theater is especially essential to Lakeshore's plan because it offers a flexible performance space that can be used for a variety of purposes, and especially for hosting the youth theater program.

“We already do theater education, since 1960, so this learning lab will be

a really great dedicated space for that as well as bringing in smaller shows,” Elwell said. “So that will be a fun flexible programming space.”

Amplatz said she was inspired to donate when she saw the far-reaching community support for the project during the demolition event.

“I think [those involved with the project] explained better than I can why I would want to be involved in it,” she said.

“I want to be involved for all the same reasons they want to be involved.”

White Bear Lake Mayor Jo Emerson is an honorary committee chair on the campaign, and has been involved with the project since the beginning, she said.

She was thrilled to hear that a donation had been made to support the learning programs for area youth.

“With the black box studio, our younger people will be able to hone their theater skills in their own community,” Emerson said. “It's going to continue that long tradition — and in White Bear we love our history and tradition.”

Bill Foussard, owner of White Bear Country Inn and Rudy's Redeye Grill, is also an honorary committee chair and has volunteered his time to help the theater for two years.

“It's an incredible community asset,” he said. “Lakeshore could have gone to Hugo, could've gone to Shoreview. It's been in White Bear for 63 years, and we need to keep it, and we need to improve on it. It will be incredible. It takes a community to get this all done.”

In 2009, Amplatz's father, Dr. Kurt Amplatz, via his company AGA Medical Corporation, gave $20,000 to the White Bear Center for the Arts. At the time, the WBCA was in the process of relocating to its current location next to the site of the planned Lakeshore Players building.

That donation helped the financially struggling center out of a potential budget shortfall.

Thanks to the generosity of the Amplatz family, White Bear Lake will soon have its own arts district, with the help of the arts center next door. Elwell said there are numerous possibilities for collaboration with the center. Ideas have included connecting the two buildings with a common courtyard, and perhaps building a sculpture garden or other art-inspired space.

“I just think it's going to make that whole area vibrant,” Emerson said.

“They can collaborate on things, and I know the schools want to be involved

So far, Elwell said there is not a definitive timeline for construction. Stage 1 schematics for the design have been created by BWBR Architects of St. Paul, but the board is in the process of selecting a construction company. Elwell said that there's a possibility that construction could begin once the campaign has raised 75-80 percent of the total estimated cost, but the theater is still considering its options and has not made a final decision. Ideally, construction will begin in the spring of 2017, Elwell said, and the building is currently slated to open for the 2018 season.

On Sept. 17, the theater will invite community members to come and enjoy the theater site for the first time at an event called A Grassroots Celebration. The Grassroots Celebration, from 2-5 p.m., will feature entertainment provided by the award-winning bluegrass band The Barley Jacks, Brother Mule and “Lady Bear,” a giant polar bear puppet created by local artist Kimberly Ford.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The White Bear Lake City Council conducted the following business at its Aug. 23 meeting: • Approved amendment to City Charter pertaining to mayor veto rights. The vote was 5-0, which was a requirement for passage. The change allows any ordinance or resolution vetoed by the mayor to be reconsidered by the council at its next regular meeting that takes place more than seven days after the measure is vetoed.

Councilman Bill Walsh noted that if anything, the change does not strengthen, but weakens the mayor's power.

• Heard a short presentation by County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt and Policy Director Ryan O'Connor.

Reinhardt said the county has established four goals within its departments: well-being, opportunity, prosperity for all and accountability. O'Connor talked about trends. Although Ramsey County is the most racially and culturally diverse among the seven-county metro area, White Bear is not.

The city accounts for 4.6 percent of the county's population and is 11 percent people of color.

"It is less diverse than the region as a whole," O'Connor said. Seven percent of residents live below the poverty line. People with incomes below $24,000 for a family of four and $11,500 for singles are considered impoverished, according to federal guidelines.

• Extended for one year a condition to remove an existing nonconforming sign at White Bear Lake Superstore. When a variance was granted for a

& yield to pedestrians crossing the crosswalk or intersection • Always stop for a school patrol officer or crossing guard holding up a flag • Take extra care to look out for children in school zones, near playgrounds & parks, & in all residential areas • Never pass a bus from behind – or from either direction if you’re on an undivided road – if it is stopped to load or unload children, according to the National Safety Council most of the children who lose their lives in bus-related incidents are 4 to 7 years old, & they’re walking & they are hit by a bus or by a motorist illegally passing a stopped bus • If the yellow or red lights re flashing & the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop • The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter & exit the bus • Be alert; children often are unpredictable & they tend to ignore hazards & take risks

47-foot sign in front of the dealership, the city stipulated that two other signs be removed.

Superstore co-owner Paul Rubin asked for a twoyear extension for the pylon-style sign to give them time to secure an additional franchise. Staff felt one year was sufficient in keeping with how the variance was granted.

• Approved ordinance amending code to opt out of recently passed legislation requiring cities to permit temporary family health care dwellings.

Community Development Director Anne Kane said the city has always allowed "drop homes or medical cottages," as they're called. Accessory dwellings do require a conditional use permit, which can be lengthy — six to eight weeks — to obtain. Kane noted the item will be on an upcoming Planning Commission agenda to consider an easier process.

• Supported MnDOT's designation of U.S. Bicycle Route 41. The federal route connects Grand Portage State Park to St. Paul via Duluth, Hugo and White Bear Lake.

City Manager Ellen Richter said when the bike trail along Lake Avenue N. was renamed the Sather Trail last December, no one realized it would be on a federal map. "He won't like that," commented Mayor Jo Emerson. She was referring to retired City Manager Mark Sather, for whom the trail was named.

• Ordered a public hearing Sept. 27 on proposed special assessments for public improvements on the 2016 mill and overlay project.

Bakery will provide cupcakes, and JonnyPops will be available as well. Theater games will be provided by Lakeshore Players and guests are encouraged to come in costume for extra fun and prizes.

Guests will be able to take a “tour” of the theater's layout, which will be marked on the ground, and will also have the opportunity to purchase naming rights to a seat in the new theater.

Meanwhile, Elwell and other members of the capital campaign committee are looking forward to the next stages of making the new Lakeshore Players Theatre a reality.

“We've completed Phase 1, we have a schematic design and we have a facility committee that's meeting frequently on the next phase of the project,” Elwell said. “The takeaway for people is that this is a grassroots community effort, and everyone is needed to make this dream a reality.’’

Safety first when it comes to county beach

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Before County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt left the podium at the Aug. 23 City Council meeting, Councilman Kevin Edberg asked her about Ramsey County beach.

"The beach has been open when the lake is this level," he noted. "What can we do to open the beach?"

"We won't open the beach until it is safe," Reinhardt replied. "I don't know where that line is or how the severity of the drop-off has changed. Lake level itself does not guarantee it's safe. I will leave that to the experts. We hope it opens in 2017."

There are issues that need to be addressed first, added the commissioner, like cleanup, lifeguard staffing and Department of Natural Resources permits to return the beach to its former state.

"We also have to make sure we budget for the beach. We don't have one now," she said. "Money will come out of a contingency fund, whatever that amount is."

Reinhardt offered her personal commitment that the beach will be ready when it is deemed safe by the county Parks Department. In the meantime, work has started to prepare for that day.

"Even though there have been times when the beach was open when the lake was at this level, that doesn't mean it was safe," she told council.

Councilman Dan Jones asked if the "shelf" — the drop-off — has changed? Reinhardt said she could get that information.

Jones asked her to forward it to the city manager.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Distilling a vision

Massage business opens

A husband and wife have teamed up to distill a topshelf vodka and help female entrepreneurs at the same time.

Big Wood Brewery founder Steve Merila got the idea for a new liquor with a top-shelf mission on a road trip to Kentucky. His wife Kjersten knew she had the skills and passion to take his vision and run with it so they co-founded Her Spirit with a commitment to creating quality spirits while incorporating a legacy of doing good. She is 100 percent owner.

The vodka is sourced using corn grown in America and purified water that is distilled in a special process.

Her vodka will launch in the spring of 2017. Half the profits will go annually into women startup businesses.

Her Spirit will start taking applications in January for the 2016 give back. The couple will also be investing $5,000 to the fund. For information, visit her-spirit.com.

Crystal Massage opened this month at 2033 County Road E East. Crystal Massage offers a variety of types of massage, including Swedish, Thai, Tuina, deep tissue and reflexology. Crystal Massage is open 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome. For more information call 651-748-3145.

Vadnais Heights survey project will present results The Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC) and the City of Vadnais Heights initiated a Business Retention & Expansion (B&E) survey project in January. Interviews were completed with 45 Vadnais Heights businesses and information was compiled by the University of Minnesota Extension Office.

The results of the survey will be presented to the public at a Community Commencement Meeting held at Jimmy’s Food & Drink from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 20.

For more information please contact VHEDC Executive Director Ling Becker at lingbecker@vhedc.com or 651-485-9532.

Bank backpack drive earns returns Lake Area Bank surpassed goals in collecting school supplies at six locations during a month-long Backpack Drive. The efforts support the Wilder Foundation to provide underprivileged children the basic tools needed to be successful students.

For its first-ever Backpack Drive, the community bank set a goal of collecting 1,200 new school items or dollars. The response was better than expected. By the end of the campaign, more than 2,000 items or dollars were collected.

Kjersten and Steve Merila.

RAVE Sports will be moving from Vadnais Heights to Eagan in October. The move will double the warehouse space of the water recreation business. RAVE Sports is an internationally-known water equipment provider, and is known for its water trampoline. It has had a facility in Vadnais Heights for 13 years.

Vice President of Marketing Tanya Rausch says that some of the most interesting water equipment RAVE provides are the towables, the whoosh water mat, and stand up paddle boards, including a core crossfit paddle board made for people who enjoy yoga. RAVE Sports has grown steadily over the past 20 years because of its desire to innovate continuously for customers.

That’s because they spend more money on advertising than everyone else put together. The best clubs to buy are the ones you hit the best. The only way to determine that is to try them. If you’re going to spend that kind of money, find a reputable club fitter.

I’ve had many clients this summer that don’t need or want a full set. If you walk, you may only want a couple of woods, a hybrid, 4 irons, 2 wedges and a putter.

They are, hands down, the best club fitters I’ve ever worked with. They use the same equipment as the Tour Van, which fits LPGA and PGA Professionals.

Alumna conquers climate change on her bike

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Hannah Field, a 2013 Mahtomedi High School graduate, biked 2,039 miles from the Twin Cities to Seattle this summer.

The charitable fundraising trip, called “Big dumb adventure — Conquer the West,” was an idea she and three other college friends dreamed up. At first, the team wasn't sure whether it was a “dumb” idea or not, but knew it would definitely be a “grand adventure.”

In retrospect, it was “not dumb at all,” Field said. But they weren't quite sure it wasn't so dumb on the first day. They left from the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis. A bystander saw their sign, “Big dumb adventure,” and asked what they were doing. “We are biking to Seattle,” they told him. “That is dumb,” the bystander said.

And then one of the bike frames broke in St. Joseph when a car bumped into it.

“It was kind of devastating,” Field said, “and it was the first day. But somehow we managed to stay on track.” Their host

SUBMITTED

The “Big dumb adventure — Conquer the West” charitable bike team biked through Glacier National Park in Montana on its way to Seattle.

Engagement

gave a ride to Alexandria to two of the team members, Alexis Geslin and Bastian Lauras, exchange students from France.

“By the time we got there, it (the bike) was fixed,” Field said.

It took the team 23 days to get to Seattle.

Their lodging consisted of hosts through a website warmshowers.org, a free hospitality exchange for touring cyclists, and camping. They carried backpacking tents with them.

“We bought groceries along the way,” Field said. “I had more peanut butter than I ever want to eat again in my life.”

They followed a national bike route, the Northern Tier, which runs from Bar Harbor, Maine to Anacortes, Washington.

Official bike maps show grocery stores and bike shops along the way.

It wasn't all roses after the first day.

Team member Jack McCarthy, of Evanston, Illinois, had 13 flat tires over the trip. He kept patching and pumping them through the rural areas of North Dakota and Montana. They finally found a nice bike shop in Idaho where he bought new tires. Other team members had about two to four flats each.

“It is all part of the joys of the road,” Field said.

They crossed the Continental Divide at Logan Pass in Glacier National Park in Montana, biking the famous Going-to-theSun Road.

Geslin didn't make it all the way to Seattle, as his student visa was expiring, but the other three pulled in Aug. 21. They took Amtrak back to Minnesota and arrived Aug. 25. Lauras flew back to France the same day.

Biking for a cause

Jillian Randall & Randy Earl Dave and Sue Randall of White Bear Lake are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Jillian Randall, to Randy Earl, son of the late Cortez Earl and the late Sherral Ward. Jillian is a graduate of WBLAHS, Minnesota State University Mankato, and South Dakota State University. She is employed as an RN at St. Mary’s Medical Center in Grand Junction, CO.

The foursome met at a Youth Bike Summit hosted at Macalester College, Field and McCarthy's school. Geslin and Lauras were studying elsewhere. Both duos were looking to make a fundraising bike trip that summer and teamed up into a foursome. At the summit, they learned

how to make their bike trip about effecting social change.

They raised $1,686 for two organizations: Cycles for Change and MN350: Building a Climate Movement in Minnesota. Cycles for Change, a St. Paul bike shop, aims to provide access to bicycles and apprenticeships to diverse populations. MN350 is an organization that aims to combat climate change, including addressing the ways climate change affects people differently depending on their demographic.

Field says she just might do something like this again in the future.

“Bicycle touring was a new thing for me,” she said. But Field biked to Mahtomedi High School, and commuted by bike to St. Paul via the Gateway Trail when she lived at home in Mahtomedi over the summer last year.

Through the 23-day trip, Field noticed that America is “built for the car” and “dependent on oil.” Once they were even pulled over by the cops for biking on the road instead of a really bumpy shoulder after a person in a vehicle near Chester, Montana yelled at them.

Field hopes America will become more bike-friendly.

“We can't continue this love affair with the car because it is just not sustainable for this country,” she said. She cited oil debt and government debt as issues related to high car usage.

No, she doesn't think everyone needs to bike, but encourages the government to “invest in more sustainable transit and sustainable ways of living.” Plus, it just brings people together.

“It fosters better community,” she said.

“That is what the bike is to us.”

Field will be a senior this fall. She is majoring in mathematics and minoring in environmental studies and music.

TOTAL AMOUNT OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT: The project costs for Project 2016-01 were $3,805,381.55. The total amount of the proposed assessments is approximately 13.1% thereof, namely, the sum of $497,749.95. The proposed assessments of $497,749.95 are proposed to be levied on the buildable tax parcels either abutting or served by the improvements. Each buildable tax parcel abutting or served by the improvements is proposed to be assessed an amount as calculated pursuant to the City’s assessment policy, as established pursuant to the City’s fee schedule, and/or pursuant to a municipal improvement benefit study performed by a professional appraisal consultant engaged by the City.

ASSESSMENT ROLL AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION: The proposed Assessment Roll is now on file with the City Clerk and is open for public inspection at City Hall located at 600 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi, Minnesota. The proposed Assessment Roll is being mailed to all the above identified record owners of the parcels proposed to be assessed. The proposed Assessment Roll will also be available for examination at the hearing.

OBJECTIONS AND APPEALS: Written and oral objections will be considered at the hearing. Minnesota Statutes § 429.061 states that no appeal may be taken as to the amount of the assessment unless a written objection, signed by the affected property owner, is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. An owner may appeal an assessment to the District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, § 429.081, by serving notice of appeal upon the Mayor or the City Clerk of the City within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the District Court within ten (10) days after service upon the Mayor or the City Clerk.

SENIOR CITIZENS DEFERMENT: Under Minnesota Statutes, § 435.193 to § 435.195, the Mahtomedi City Council may, in its discretion, defer the payment of these special assessments for any homestead property owned by a person 65 years of age or older for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. When deferment of the special assessments has been granted and is terminated for any reason provided by law, all amounts accumulated, plus applicable interest, become due. Any assessed property owner meeting the requirements of this law may apply to the City Clerk on the prescribed form for such deferral or payments of these special assessments. If you qualify and wish a deferment, contact the City Clerk.

AUTHORITY TO SPECIALLY ASSESS: The proposed assessments are to be levied pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. The improvements are proposed to be assessed against the buildable tax parcels abutting or served by the improvements. The areas, parcels, lots and pieces or property, as specifically described herein, are subject to said assessments. The amounts set forth in this Notice are the proposed assessments. The City Council may levy and adopt special assessments that are the same or different than the proposed amounts.

PAYMENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS: Once the special assessments are levied and adopted, the special assessments will be certified to the Washington County Auditor to be extended on the property tax lists for collection with real estate taxes. Prior to this certification, however, the property owner may prepay the entire amount of the assessments without any interest thereon provided the prepayment is received by October 20, 2016. If the property owner wishes to prepay the special assessments without any interest, then such payment must be made to the City of Mahtomedi at the Mahtomedi City Hall at 600 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi, Minnesota, 55115. Partial pre-payment of the special assessment is not presently allowed under the City Ordinances; the prepayment, without interest, must be for the entire amount of the special assessments.

If prepayment is not received by October 20, 2016 then: a.) The total principal amount of the special assessments will be divided into an equal number of annual installments. The proposed number of annual installments is ten (10), the number of annual installments will be decided by the City Council when the special assessments are levied. b.) The principal amount of the special assessments shall bear interest at the rate determined by the City Council when the special assessments are levied. The proposed interest rate is two and ninety-five hundredths percent (2.95%). c.) Interest begins to accrue from and after September 20, 2016. d.) The annual principal installments, together with interest accrued on the unpaid balance, are due and payable together with real estate taxes. e.) Interest on the entire special assessments, from September 20, 2016, to December 31 of the year in which the first installment is payable, is added to the first principal installment. The first installment will be due and payable in 2017. f.) If in the future the property owner wishes to pay off the remaining balance of the assessments, then Minnesota Statutes, § 429.061, Subd. 3, provides that such payment be made to the City Treasurer (in Mahtomedi, the City Treasurer is the City Administrator), together with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in which payment is made as long as payment is made prior to November 15; if the pay off occurs after November 15, then interest for the next year is also added.

If the adopted special assessments differ from the proposed assessments as to any particular lot, piece or parcel of land, then the City will mail to the owner a notice stating the amount of the adopted assessments. Owners will also be notified, by mail, if the City Council adopts any changes in the interest rate or prepayment requirements from those contained in this NOTICE OF HEARING.

“FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS” (PG-13) [BRIEF SUGGESTIVE MATERIAL.]

— A delightful, charming, funny, well-acted, factually based, 110-minute comedic drama in which syphilis-afflicted, New York City heiress and music aficionado Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep), whose love of opera singing is greater than her talent, is supported by her endearing British husband St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant) and gets her dream to sing at Carnegie Hall in 1944 accompanied by talented, skeptical pianist Cosmé McMoon (Simon Helberg).

“THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS” (PG-13) [THEMATIC MATERIAL AND SOME SEXUAL CONTENT.]

— After losing two babies between 1918 and 1922 in this bittersweet, heartbreaking, well-acted, beautifully photographed, 132-minute film based on M.L. Stedman’s novel, a Commonwealth lighthouse keeper (Michael Fassbender) and his gorgeous wife (Alicia Vikander) living on an isolated island find an infant and a deceased man in a rowboat off the coast of Western Australia and hastily decide to raise the baby girl as their own, only to discover that the widowed mother (Rachel Weisz) of the girl (Florence Clery) is alive and estranged from her wealthy father (Bryan Brown).
