Manufacturer continues to weather media storm BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Late summer sun angling Christine, Cenley, Cadence, Cendall and Michael Kurr soak up some late summer sunshine while casting their lines into White Bear Lake from a dock in Dellwood last week. The family dog “Epic,” a Harlequin Great Dane, joined them on the early evening outing. For meteorologists, autumn begins on Sept. 1. If you want summer to stretch out a little longer, the astronomical season is based on the autumnal equinox, with the autumn season beginning on Sept. 23 this year.
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Every day there seems to be more news on Water Gremlin and its modus operandi. Last week’s headlines started with a WCCO report that the township manufacturer of fishing sinkers and battery terminals was moving its coating process out of state by contracting with a Hudson, Wisconsin, company. A day later, that company, Hi-Tech Finishing, announced it was terminating the arrangement, noting it was not aware the chemicals used in the process were “unsafe and unhealthy.” A letter from the CEO said they became aware of this fact Aug. 26 after being advised by local media. On Tuesday, Aug. 27, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) held a community meeting at Central Middle School to talk about its investigation and answer questions from frustrated residents who want answers on how and why Water Gremlin remains in business. MPCA Commissioner Laura Bishop kicked off the meeting, acknowledging that Water Gremlin’s pollution problems “landed on my plate” her first week on the job. SEE MEDIA STORM, PAGE 8A
District asks community to invest in aging facilities BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The average age of school buildings in the district is 50 years. The district’s proposed $326 million bond referendum, which will be on the ballot this fall, will provide updates at all district schools, a new elementary school in Hugo and a renovated, one-campus high school. Taking care of district building upgrades is the responsibility of the community, according to Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations Tim Wald. The state provides funding for teaching and learning, but building quality is the decision of the community.
Now Hiring All Positions!
“All school facilities are entirely the responsibility of the community, so if we are going to build a new school, that becomes our community’s responsibility,” Wald told a group gathered at last week’s White Bear Rotary Club meeting. The district has systems in some schools that are 50 to 70 years old. It hasn’t built a new or renovated secondary school since 1974. “At some point you have to ask the taxpayers, are we ready to invest in our facilities?” he noted. The bond referendum was also put forth due to growing enrollment. The district projects that more than 2,000 new students will move into the

4 Seasons back with fan favorites BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Doors open soon at 4 Seasons restaurant in Mahtomedi. Broasters for the popular chicken are cleaned and prepped and the homemade root beer equipment is ready to go. New owners Joe Bevins and his sons Brandon and Austin are bringing the eatery back after it abruptly closed last March. “We started talking about it, saying, 'Wouldn't it be nice to have a restaurant,'” recalled Joe, who has lived on Bevins Lane in Mahtomedi most of his life. The family does have restaurant experience. The boys have worked at nearby Roma since they were 15; both are cooks; and Joe worked in the kitchen at The Piccadilly in his younger years. Proud of the eatery's history, the Bevins are sprucing up the old diner with fresh paint and new colors. Black and white photographs from the early 1900s of Wildwood Park still hang on the walls and an original Tilt-a-Whirl remains a fixture on the outdoor patio.
~ WILLS ~ TRUSTS ~ POWER OF ATTORNEY
Joe Bevins bought the closed restaurant from former owners Chris and Carol Dettinger. They ran 4 Seasons for 41 years after Chris bought it from his father in 1973, a year before he married Carol. The Dettingers sold it to Chris and Tonia Walline in January 2015. When the couple decided to shut the doors earlier this year, the business went back to the former owners. “It's always been a family-owned business,” Joe pointed out. An iron worker by trade, he took early retirement after suffering a disability and figured he would take on the business as an investment. Dettinger has been a big help in the transition, according to the Bevins. He helped clean and refurbish the kitchen equipment, paint and get the new owners up to speed. “Both Chris and Carol have gone out of their way to accommodate us and make sure we're successful,” Joe said. Roma Restaurant owner Brian Piltrain has also served as a sounding board for his former employees. “Brian says we all need each other,” Joe said. “The restaurant owners

want to make the town a mecca for people to dine out. It was that way in the '20s with Wildwood Park.” The boys are excited to get started. But there are worries, too, Austin admitted. He feels bad to leave Roma but “couldn't pass on this opportunity,” he said. “At the same time, we think the community will accept it. They want the restaurant back,” Brandon added. Dettinger can attest to that. “After 4 Seasons closed, I could not believe the Facebook posts about missing the broasted chicken and root beer,” he noted. “I knew they were standout items, but I didn't know to what extent.” They will always be on the menu, assured Joe. Bevins is a familiar name around Mahtomedi. The entire family, including Joe and wife Karen (Stepan), went to school in Mahtomedi. Joe's dad Robert built custom homes in the area, including the homes on Bevin Lane. Robert Court is named after him. They all remember eating at the restaurant growing up. Built in 1958, it was first called The Curve because it was built on a curve in the road. The name changed to Fountain Drive-in when Joe Dettinger bought it and Three Seasons when Chris took over. Doors should open mid-to-late September. The menu will remain the same for now; but they are open to ideas and eager to please. Specials will in-

clude a fish fry on Friday and turkey and stuffing on Sunday. “Wait until you try the turkey stuffing,” Joe said. “It's famous in our family.” The carrot cake is coming back, as are some staff members. They're also continuing the tradition and donating the broasted chicken for St. Jude's Sept. 7 Corn Fest. For now, the boys plan to open six days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., closing on Mondays. That is subject to change “as we get a feel for things,” Brandon said. “We're asking people to be patient; we'll work through the speed bumps.”

Breakfast on the Farm: Learn about life on a dairy BY SHANNON GRANHOM THE CITIZEN EDITOR
The Miron family is busy preparing to feed 2,000 people next month. Family members will host their first-ever Breakfast on the Farm event from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, at 15250 Homestead Ave. N., Hugo. “Less than 2% of the U.S. population has a connection to agriculture. Just recognizing that, we have always felt an obligation to let our non-agricultural friends learn about agriculture,� said Fran Miron, former mayor and Washington County’s Commissioner for District 1. The Miron Family Farm has been in existence since 1887. Fran and his wife Mary Ann mark the fourth generation of ownership. The fifth generation, Fran's sons Paul and Andrew, currently live on the farm with their wives and children (sixth generation). The farm was recognized as a Century Farm back in 1987 and Fran is hopeful it will make it to be recognized as a Sesquicentennial Farm, too. The farm has always had dairy cows and grows corn, small grains and hay. These days, the farm's focus is dairy, but it also has soybeans and three pigs, new this year. Currently the Mirons own 280 acres, but family members farm more than 800 acres. Despite the workload that continues seven days a week — days often begin at 5 a.m. and end at 10 p.m. — Fran said the farm has been a blessing to him and each of the couple’s six children. “There is a certain amount of personal satisfaction and there is the family connection to the land, and the opportunity to work alongside our kids and grandkids. That is really the heart of the benefit of being a farmer,� he said. “It has been a great place to teach work ethics and other values that we feel are

important as a family. Having that opportunity to work side by side, converse and dream about the future together, is the real blessing of farm life.� In addition to sons Paul and Andrew, his other four children have remained involved with agriculture in their own ways. Daughter Ann Tauzell and son Mike are both agriculture teachers at Forest Lake High School; daughter Katie Crowley is an agriculture teacher at the Academy for Sciences and Agriculture High School in Vadnais Heights and son Mark is a fifth grade teacher at Lino Lakes Elementary.
Breakfast on the Farm The Miron family is known for hosting large events on the farm, something it does every five years or so. However, this will be the first time it has held a breakfast event, and the first time it has hired a catering company: Chris Cakes, out of Iowa, will serve pancakes
and sausage. If the supplies of pancakes and sausage run out, don't fret: there will also be ice cream and cheese curds. Historically, the farm has also offered school tours six to eight times each year. “We might have a grandparent bring a grandchild, and years later, those kids are bringing their kids to the farm. We hope there are memories created and that people have an opportunity to learn what we do here,� Fran said. The event will feature hayrides, milking demonstrations, face painting, photos with a calf and more. In addition to celebrating the Miron family farm, the event will also celebrate the Washington/Ramsey Farm Bureau's 100th anniversary.
Washington/Ramsey Farm Bureau celebrates 100th anniversary Miron has also served as president of the Minnesota Farm Bureau, which has around 1,500 members. The Farm
SUBMITTED
The farm’s focus is dairy.
Bureau’s purpose is to promote agriculture and agricultural products by donating money and resources to philanthropic events. Members often host tours on their farms and have also donated books about agriculture to schools and libraries. “We help people understand what farmers do and the work that is involved in getting products from farm to table,� he explained. “Washington and Ramsey counties are positioned in a unique way, being so close to the metro area. We are trying to help tell the agriculture story to a more urbanizing population. Of course, everyone consumes those products, so helping people know what goes into them so we don't take that work and that process for granted is an important thing we try to do.� For more information about Breakfast on the Farm, search Breakfast on the Farm-hosted by Miron Family on Facebook.
Many Faces – Many Stories returns to inspire community conversation The Many Faces – Many Stories collaboration returns in September for a third year to build community through storytelling. After exploring the history of the many groups of people who have called the White Bear Lake area home during the previous academic year, this year’s events will invite people to learn more about the diverse experiences of their neighbors both near and far through book discussions, community workshops, lectures, tours, theater performances, art exhibits and more. Through the broad array of happenings, community members are invited to explore their role in society, learn how to tell their own story, and explore cultures, experiences and religions different from their own.

Century College hosts award-winning graphic artist Thi Bui, who will present her illustrated memoir, “The Best We Could Do,â€? at two public presentations that include a Q&A and book signings: • 9-11 a.m., Hanifl Performing Arts Center • 7:30-9 p.m., Century College East Campus Lincoln Mall These events are free and open to the public with priority seating for registered attendees.

Plan to endorse a candidate?
O
ver the years, opinion pages in our newspapers have been abused and quite frankly it’s our fault. We have allowed what are really advertisements in our opinion pages. Last year, our page count went up between four and eight pages each week during the political campaign. The newspaper received zero revenue from this and took on the printing and delivery expense. When political candidates hire people and coordinate groups of people to submit letters that they prepared, have their campaign committees submit letters, or get friends and family to submit letters, these letters should fall under advertising. It’s been a real problem the last few years. I’ve learned many newspaper colleagues feel the same way. As your local news Publisher’s source, we found a way to keep these political endorsement View letters in the papers and help it transparent to the readers Carter Johnson be by labeling them as paid endorsements and charging a nominal fee. As your local newspaper, we struggled with a decision. We struggled with the expense of publishing up to four to eight extra pages during the political campaign season. This week Press Publications and our sister newspapers will roll out a new guideline regarding endorsement letters. So what does this mean? It means we will continue to publish 99% of all letters to the editor that meet our guidelines of 350 words or less containing no libelous or derogatory statements and will charge a $25 fee for endorsement letters. What is an endorsement letter? It’s a letter that endorses or opposes a candidate or item on the ballot such as a levy, bond referendum, or items that require a vote. Our residents count on us to be transparent and we believe this is another way to continue to do that and prevent deep use and misuse of opinion pages in our local community papers. A colleague and friend who publishes the Proctor Journal near Duluth has been charging endorsement letter fees for years. I believe many of the newspapers in North Dakota are charging fees, as well as our friends at the Echo Press in Alexandria, to name a few. The local community counts on the opinion pages to discuss local topics of concern, but when we get into the political season we get swamped with chain mail. This new guideline should help our staff of journalists focus on their job by covering countless meetings you don’t have time to attend and stories of interest to our readers. Paid endorsement letter policy “The White Bear Press accepts election letters endorsing or advocating for or against a ballot measure, party or candidate as paid advertising announcements. The fee is $25 for 7 inches and $5 for each additional inch. Like other letters to the editor, the writer’s name, address and phone number are required. Phone numbers are not published. The White Bear Press has the right to reject letters that don’t meet publishing standards and will determine if the letter qualifies as a paid endorsement. Paid letters will be identified with a label and may or may not appear on the opinion/letters page.” As always, we welcome your opinions. Contact us at news@presspubs.com. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications. Distributed weekly in:

Building our district’s future
s we begin the 2019-20 school year and welcome more than 9,000 students from early childhood to our Transition Education Center through our doors this fall, we reflect upon the strong legacy left to us by those who long ago “built the future” we are living today. This fall, Homecoming festivities will include an All-School Reunion the morning of Saturday, Sept. 28 on the lawn of District Center. Attendees will enjoy free activities including a pancake breakfast hosted by the Lion’s Club, an alumni show, tours of Movers & car District Center and the second floor Shakers “graduation row” Wayne A. with class photos from multiple Kazmierczak decades, and photos with Bear. A special capstone to the morning will be the dedication of Washington Bell, which first hung at Washington School and now will be displayed along with a White Bear statue in the front lawn of District Center. The display project is an Alumni Association gift to the district. David Gehrenbeck, a 1949 graduate, will also be in attendance at the event with his book that details the first 100 years of the district building on Bloom Avenue. The district’s aging facilities, with the average age of district buildings at over 50 years, was
just one of the catalysts for the nearly year-long comprehensive facilities planning process that included a 90-member Facilities Planning Committee composed of parents, staff and community members. Other considerations included the district’s strategic plan, mission and beliefs, which call for the district to act and react differently to best serve our students, families and communities. Teaching in a building constructed decades ago creates barriers to the type of teaching that is necessary in today’s environment. I have been asked a lot of thoughtful questions while out talking about the bond referendum with community members. Why is the bond so large? The facilities plan is comprehensive, touching every building and program in the district. The total bond amount is large, but due to smart fiscal management and old debt being paid off, this comprehensive district-wide plan can be accomplished with a tax impact of about $23 per month for the average homeowner. A tax calculator tool is available at the district’s website, www.isd624.org/Bond2019. When the Facilities Planning Committee unanimously supported the plan they had built together, they discussed the reality that this $326 million bond referendum would be a large investment to be made by community members. At the same time, they also recognized that the comprehensive facilities plan encompasses all district buildings and addresses questions that have been asked in the community for decades.

Is there anything in the plan that can wait? A simple answer to that question is that this multi-year plan is most efficient and costeffective when built as a package. Because the plan uses all of our district facilities, with students moving into renovated space and freeing up space for other students to move into, the comprehensive plan is one that is difficult to do in stages more separated than what will naturally occur due to the building process. If the referendum is approved by the community in November, planning would begin right away in the fall and construction would continue in phases until the 2024-25 school year. I look forward to continuing the conversation about the district’s bond referendum, as I will be visiting with community groups this fall, and public meetings will take place at the following times as well: • 8:30 a.m. on Tues, Sept. 17 at the Senior Center, 2482 East County Road F, WBL • 7 p.m. on Tues, Sept. 24 at District Center, 4855 Bloom Ave, WBL • 7 p.m. on Wed, Oct. 2 at Hugo Elementary, 14895 Francesca Ave N, Hugo More information about the building bond referendum can be found at www.isd624.org/Bond2019, or I can be reached at 651-407-7563 or wayne.kazmierczak@isd624.org.

BBB issues warning, tips for college students more likely to be scammed
S
eptember can be an expensive month for students returning to colleges and universities. Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota has some tips to make sure scammers don’t make the start of school even more expensive for those paying tuition, figuring out student aid and buying school and dorm supplies. According to BBB’s 2018 Scam Tracker Risk Report, nearly 42% of students reported a loss when exposed to a scam as compared to 28% of non-students.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council conducted the following business at its Aug. 27 meeting: • Set assessment roll hearing for 2019 street reconstruction project for Oct. 8. The city will declare costs to be assessed and prepare the assessment roll. Engineer Paul Kauppi said construction season is nearing completion and the project went well. The good news is costs came in under the contractor's bid, and savings will be shared with property owners in the form of lower assessments. The same is true for the mill and overlay project. • Approved White Bear Lake Area Historical Society funding request in amount of $14,800. Funding comes from the city's economic development fund.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Students need more media specialists I was appalled when I learned of the incredibly low staffing in the media centers at our district schools. I believe that any district which purports to be as attuned to the needs of students and staff as ours should provide the services of media specialists to all students and staff. Thank you for your consideration. Bruce Trouten Retired WBL Area Schools media specialist
• Heard a report from County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt. The District 7 commissioner represents about 75,000 people in White Bear Lake, Maplewood, North St. Paul and a St. Paul precinct. The board is currently in the budget hearing process. “We are watching our spending,” Reinhardt assured, noting a public budget hearing is scheduled at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 25 at the Ramsey County Library in Maplewood. The preliminary levy is set to increase 4.7% for 2020, a 0.5% bump. In a Rush Line update, the commissioner said the project is still in the environmental phase with 15% of the design work completed. “After environmental considerations are more defined, we will come back
to the City Council for a resolution of support before moving to project development,” she said. That would likely be early 2021. Councilman Bill Walsh stated he was concerned the project would be too far along in 2021 to make changes. Reinhardt assured him the council will be provided updates along the way. “My point is, the project is moving further down the line and we are spending more money. What if cities at that point don't want to do it?” he asked. Reinhardt replied that the project is moving forward. “We are beyond that point. That's why we came to you before. The go-ahead to do this project is complete.” Debra Neutkens
POLITICAL BRIEF New policy for political letters to the editor Press Publications will now charge for political endorsement letters to the editor. Effective immediately, election-related letters advocating for or against a candidate or ballot measure will be subject to a $25 fee. The Press joins many other newspapers nationwide in adopting this policy, which is intended to prevent the abuse of editorial letters by political campaigns. Although the Press welcomes the civil exchange of ideas, campaigns often hire professional writers to write letters promoting certain candidates or issues in what amounts to free advertising. By treating endorsement letters like advertisements, the Press intends to level the playing field. More information about the new policy can be found in the election season letter guidelines on page 4.

Prairie tour highlights Minnesota’s pure-blooded bison BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
During the 1800s, the American plains bison was almost wiped from the face of the earth. Settlers nearly extinguished the animal in an attempt to conquer lands and for their hides and meat. Their numbers dropped from tens of millions to hundreds. Today, due to conservation efforts and bison ranching, there are about half a million. However, there are only a mere 1 percent, or 5,500, that have no cattle integration, said Amber Brooks, Prairie and Bison Tour guide at Blue Mounds State Park in the southwest corner of Minnesota. The herd of 100 at the park are among that 1 percent, she proudly noted while giving a tour in the park’s prairie vehicle. So the bison here look just like the ones that roamed the prairies in the 1800s, she told the group. Many of the bison that roam elsewhere have cattle integration, although the common observer may not notice the difference. When ranchers began to breed bison with cattle, they discovered the offspring looked more like a bison than cattle. Eventually, the beefalo was formed, which looks like a cross between both, much like a mule from a donkey and horse. (Note: buffalo is a colloquial term for bison but they are not related to buffalo native to Africa and Asia). Blue Mounds State Park was just lucky to have so many bison free from cattle integration, Brooks added. “We started genetic testing here through the Minnesota Zoo because we wanted to form a Minnesota bison herd,” she noted. “We figured out there were only a few (with cattle integration).” The park simply sold off the four with cattle integration and had a pure-blooded herd. The herd is part of the Minnesota Bison Conservation Herd, which includes bison at Minneopa State Park and the Minnesota Zoo, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The partnership hopes to grow the pure bison herd size to 500 across the state; its total is about 130. At Blue Mounds State Park, about 80 adult females give birth to 20 to 30 calves each year. In the fall, the bison are rounded up; some are sold because there isn’t enough prairie at the park for more than 100

The bison at Blue Mounds State Park are among the 1 percent of all half-million bison in the U.S. today that are pure-blooded, meaning they do not have cattle integration.
bison. Males cannot be kept at the park beyond a certain age. Only one bull can be in the herd. A new bull from a national park or refuge is selected every few years to increase genetic diversity. Blue Mounds State Park has had bison since the 1960s. The nearby city of Luverne wanted to return bison to the prairies, Brooks noted. “They petitioned the state to put bison in the park,” she said. “Over time the herd has grown as more land has been acquired.” The Prairie and Bison Tour is new to the park. It began last summer. This year, it grew in popularity and tours have been extended through the fall, including MEA weekend. The propane-fueled tour vehicle was funded by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund. Brooks’ position was funded by the Minnesota Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, which Minnesota voters approved in 2008 to preserve Minnesota’s resources. When Brooks, a Twin Cities native, heard about the position, she was working as a naturalist and interpreter for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in

Utah. Brooks had studied bison in university, so she jumped at the position. Her capstone project for her wildlife biology major focused on bison matriarchal studies. Brooks has an unexplainable passion for bison that is as unique as the herd. She was studying journalism at university when she took a vacation to Yellowstone and saw a bison for the fi rst time in her life. “I can’t explain, and I don’t know, but there was just this moment,” she remembered. It felt like a jolt of electricity hit her and she realized she needed to do something for bison with her life. She switched her major to study bison. “I find them to be the most fascinating, amazing creatures in the world,” she said. Her fascination with the living bison doesn’t prevent her from enjoying the meat, she added. Eating bison is a much more sustainable option than beef. Bison have a way with the land and don’t overgraze. It’s also leaner meat. Her go-to place for bison meat is Target. For more information on the bison and tours, visit dnr.state.mn.us/bluemounds.

MEDIA STORM: MPCA assures citizens it’s committed to holding Water Gremlin accountable FROM PAGE 1A
“To say I was concerned is an understatement. I want to get to the bottom of this as much as you do and we are very driven to fi nd answers,” Bishop told the 200-plus residents assembled in the school’s theater. MPCA staff recapped timelines of Water Gremlin infractions, repeating fi ndings of fact that led to the Aug. 22 administrative shutdown order. Assistant Commissioner Craig McDonnell used the word “accountable” many times, assuring citizens that MPCA is committed to holding the company responsible for its actions. The order to cease the coating operation until corrective actions are taken was MPCA’s response to a report that revealed a volatile organic compound called tDCE was found in soil vapor under the building. The chemical replaces tricholorethylene, or TCE, a carcinogenic solvent Water Gremlin used in a manner that violated its permit for at least 15 years. MPCA’s Sarah Kilgriff, manager of air enforcement and compliance, said the agency expected pollution control equipment brought online May 1 to function more efficiently and reduce emissions by a higher percentage. Test results show equipment is capturing about 25% of emissions. Regardless of how much is being removed, the company is
still under its 90-ton limit, she said. Evidently Water Gremlin got around its permit in 2017 and 2018 by recycling TCE. “The previous permit had a TCE purchase limit,” Kilgriff explained. “Water Gremlin didn’t disclose the fact they collected the TCE from the process through pollution control equipment and used it again. That is information MPCA didn’t have. They were doing something that didn’t allow us to determine compliance.” Trust was an issue raised by audience members in a follow-up Q&A. McDonnell concurred. “We don’t trust Water Gremlin to do the right thing, so we have to make sure a robust system is in place to monitor what they’re doing,” he asserted. The assistant commissioner was referring to a permitting process that ensures pollution control equipment is effective. “We will make the new permit incredibly stringent. If they mess up, we’ll hold them accountable.” McDonnell pointed out that under state and federal law, Water Gremlin has the opportunity to come into compliance. “I know that is tough to hear for this community,” he said. “We have to make sure everything we do has legal basis.”
auditor to investigate both Water Gremlin and MPCA for possible criminal violations. “We have a responsibility to protect the health and well-being of our citizens,” Chamberlain said. “Someone, or more likely several people, dropped the ball in the Water Gremlin situation. Residents deserve to know what happened so those responsible can be held to account.” Letters went to County Attorney John Choi and Legislative Auditor Jim Nobles, asking them to investigate the MPCA’s management of Water Gremlin’s permitting history as well as the agency’s handling of violations. A second release from Chamberlain Thursday, Aug. 29, indicated the senator was taking it further, asking the governor, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Sheriff Bob Fletcher to join the investigation. On March 1, Water Gremlin paid more than $7 million in fi nes and civil penalties for its pollution vio-
lations, the second largest in state history. What are MPCA’s next steps for Water Gremlin? • Install a building mitigation system to address current TCE and tDCE vapor contamination and continue site remedial investigation; expanding test sites to determine contamination on the property. • Water Gremlin must also stop further tDCE contamination on the property. The company must submit a plan to MPCA that must be approved before operations can restart. • MPCA will be monitoring airborne lead levels near the Water Gremlin property. This is being done out of an “abundance of caution” to be sure airborne levels around community match those the agency expects to see around the metro.

WATER GREMLIN ISSUES RESPONSE Water Gremlin issued this statement from Carl Dubois, vice president of international manufacturing, following the Aug. 27 MPCA community meeting: While Water Gremlin was not asked to play an official role in tonight’s meeting, we respect the MPCA’s process and are glad that they are providing information to our neighbors. We would like to address some of the misconceptions that have been stated about our company. Below are the facts based on the most recent available information. Water Gremlin used t-DCE, not DCE. And they are not the same thing. Prior to receiving the MPCA’s administrative order to cease our coating operations last week, Water Gremlin was using trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene, or t-DCE. The distinction is important to note as DCE typically refers to 1,1-DCE, which is listed on the EPA’s Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) as a possible carcinogen, whereas t-DCE is not. With Minnesota and New York as the exceptions, we are unaware of any other state setting any type of chronic inhalation exposure level for t-DCE. Also, Minnesota is the only state that has set a soil intrusion rate. Both of these levels were put in place by the MPCA after Water Gremlin notified the agency of its intent to switch to t-DCE. Water Gremlin has not exceeded emission limits for t-DCE. We have a comprehensive system to monitor outdoor air emissions, with independent laboratory results reported directly to the MPCA. To date, Water Gremlin has not exceeded any emission limits for t-DCE. We measure our usage of t-DCE in real time, so we can make immediate adjustments if needed.
MPCA | SUBMITTED
MPCA staff showed a series of slides at the meeting detailing results of ongoing investigations on the Water Gremlin site. Groundwater, surface water, soil, soil vapor and air are being monitored for lead, TCE and tDCE contamination.
All data suggests that there is no immediate threat to human health or the environment. The t-DCE found beneath the foundation of our building is limited to Water Gremlin’s property and does not pose a health threat to our employees. Our indoor vapor testing shows rates are well below OSHA standards. Work to address vapors was already underway when the MPCA fi rst started communicating about it. We are installing a vapor mitigation system – much like a home radon system – which is scheduled to be operational in the entire building by the end of this week.

Once upon a time ‘Garceaudale’ was downtown Vadnais Heights BY NICOLA KELLEY HYSER SPECIAL TO THE PRESS
Vadnais Heights’ City Center stretches from east to west for several blocks along County Road E. It crosses a major interstate highway and includes hotels, an event center, large retail shopping plazas, restaurants, gas stations, medical facilities, City Hall and one of the city’s two fire department stations. But, back in the day — 60-some years ago — downtown Vadnais Heights was a mere corner intersection across from Vadnais Lake at Centerville Road and Edgerton Street, where the city’s two founding families had settled in the mid-1800s. The city and lake took its name from one of those families, and “Garceaudale” was born from the other. At one time, the buildings on the north side strip of Centerville Road housed Garceau’s Hardware, Wolters Liquors, Vadnais Heights Oil and Service and Jim’s Superette. The original white building from which all the other businesses grew sits the farthest from the lake and was built in 1933 by Viola Garceau. She sold groceries, candies and ice cream, and gas from pumps out front of the store. Her younger brother, David F. Garceau, worked construction and other jobs, such as ice harvesting on Vadnais and Gervais lakes, before he devoted himself full time to help his sister expand and operate a tavern and dance hall. In the 1950s, the industrious siblings added a small hardware store and gas and service station to the original building. Then, in 1961 they constructed a separate 40-by-80-foot building for a new hardware and rental equipment business; their old hardware space became a liquor store. In 1967, Viola retired from the grocery store, which was then leased out and known by Vadnais Heights’ residents as “the little store.” David F. (known around town as Dave Sr.) ran the liquor store and co-managed the hardware store with his son, David J. Garceau (known as Dave Jr.). From 1972 – 1994, other structures and additions were necessary for the booming hardware business. Eventually, David J.’s son, David C. Garceau, took over running Garceau’s Hardware & Power Equipment. It seemed only fitting, not only because he was next in
line, but also because he had been born on the hardware store’s grand opening day, September 9, 1961. Dave Sr., a Vadnais Heights city councilman for more than 37 years, and his son, Dave Jr., a member of the Vadnais Heights Fire Department and the Lions Club, have since passed. Garceau’s Hardware & Power Equipment closed its doors March 2013. David and his aunt, Darlene Garceau (Dave Sr.’s daughter), have fond memories of “Garceaudale.” Darlene, a past member of the Vadnais Heights Historical Commission, remembers working in the store: “stocking shelves, running the cash register, working in the meat department – my dad was a butcher too – whatever needed done, that’s what I would do. Sometimes, for lunch, we’d have fresh fish from Vadnais Lake; my Aunt Viola loved to fish, and she’d clean the sunnies and fry ‘em up. It was a fun place to be because both my parents were very social; it’s where everyone in town hung out.” David said: “It was magic! Many of us who worked at the hardware store had grown up as family. I ran the store with Jim DeBilzan. His dad and uncle, Dick and Arnie, ran the gas and service station (until 1998).” About the hardware store’s closing, David said, “We had a good run, nothing to be ashamed of. Business changed. More sales online, more competition from big-box stores. The sales and service of snowmobiles was the biggest part of our business from the late 1980s to early 2000s; in fact, Garceau’s was the number one dealer in the nation for snowmobile clothing and accessories from 1991 to 1993. Then, we had six to seven years of bad snow; people were selling their snowmobiles, and they were becoming more expensive. “That corner still means a lot to our family; it’s an important piece of the city’s history, and it’s a pretty spot across from the lake. The sunsets are spectacular! There’s been talk of redeveloping it, and I want to see it go to a good use and continue to represent Vadnais Heights.” Regarding redevelopment of the “Garceaudale” corner, Vadnais Heights City Administrator Kevin Watson said, “The city has assigned a community task force, with residents and business owners, to recommend a long-term solution for the site. The city looks

forward to taking that recommendation forward to implementation.” Note: This article, except for Watson’s quote at the end, first appeared in a 2015 Vadnais Heights city newsletter. Darlene Garceau, who is quoted in the article, passed away August 2, 2019. Nicola K. Hyser is a local writer and the editor of “Reflections from the Lake: A 160-Year History of the Vadnais Heights Community,” by Rose-Ellen Soler.

district during the next 10 years due to housing growth. The growth will be 25% higher than current capacity. New homes in the northern part of the district and turnover of homes in the southern part of the district will both contribute to the growth. “The students are coming, and we have to be ready for them,” Wald noted. Districtwide safety and security improvements are also part of the plans. The district has secure entries at each school but wants to make additional improvements since students elevated their voices for school safety after the 2018 Florida school shooting. “We need to double down on school safety and security,” Wald said. Flexible learning spaces are also
part of the plans. There would be new furniture in most of the classrooms. The plans were put forth by a 90-member facilities committee that met this winter. Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak told the Rotarians that it is a complex plan, but it addresses the district’s needs. “It would take care of our needs for many, many years to come,” he explained. According to the bond referendum plans, North Campus would be expanded to house all high school grades. Sunrise Park Middle School would be moved to South Campus. Sunrise would become an early childhood center, transition center and senior center, and would house district offices. The vacated District Center, where the district offices are currently, would be an expansion for Central Middle School.
There would be a new elementary school in Hugo near the post office. Oneka Elementary would be converted from a grade 2-5 school into a K-5 school. Hugo Elementary would be converted from K-1 to an early childhood center. Kindergarten through fi fth grade enrollment at Hugo and Oneka elementary schools could nearly double within a decade, according to a recent enrollment projection study. A question asked at the meeting was why North Campus was chosen as the site for a one-campus high school rather than South Campus, because the southern location appears to have more open land. The North Campus site is actually larger, Kazmierczak said, and it is centrally located so that students who live further north wouldn’t have to drive half an hour to school.
About 60 percent of students currently live south of North Campus and 40 percent live north, Wald added. The district expects that to become half and half soon. Homes are turning over in the south, but growth is occurring in the north, Kazmierczak noted. Another attendee at the meeting asked what would happen if the bond didn’t pass this year, would the district come back with a smaller amount? Yes, the district would regroup and ask again, Kazmierczak said. Also questioned was why the bond referendum was put on the ballot in an off year, when not many political positions will be on the ballot. Kazmierczak responded: “An off year is not necessarily a bad time to be doing a school election. People tend to pay a little bit more attention to local issues in off years.”

Loon Chronicles IV: More drop-in juveniles “This was a fascinating week for watching Loons. The juvenile drop-ins are increasing in number and they are now starting to find each other. We have enjoyed watching them emulate adult Loon party behaviors. The circling stare-downs are a riot, but they have a long way to go on perfecting their synchronized dives. We spotted a Loon that we thought had to be an ancient warrior, but we were not certain because we could not tell whether the markings were fading or emerging. So, we called DNR Loon Whisperer Lori Naumann, who confirmed that our ancient warrior was really a non-breeding adult in winter plumage, usually spotted in the Gulf of Mexico from September through May. A very special drop-in, indeed. This is what lies ahead for the juveniles as they continue their journey. The Gulls continue to expand in number and can be seen everywhere on White Bear Lake, fishing, soaring above the water, and resting on boat lift covers and the WBYC dock. We also had the pleasure of spotting a very content Green Heron perched on a branch in front of Tally’s. What a treat! Wishing you, and all of our feathered friends on White Bear Lake, a fun and safe Labor Day Weekend.”

New apartment complex named for early settler WHITE BEAR LAKE — The final plat for White Bear Lake Apartments, the 192-unit, market-rate complex on County Road E and Linden Avenue, was approved Aug. 27 by the City Council. Councilman Steven Engstran voted no. The applicant, Schafer Richardson, has settled on a name for the apartment complex. According to a city memo, it
will be named The Barnum, after Villeroy B. Barnum, who is referenced as one of the first settlers in the city, and the Barnum Hotel, one of many resorts on the lake during the 1850s. Access from County Road E will have a curb cut positioned to provide a shared drive with property to the west. This was negotiated with the county and is a key ingredient in the approval
of site access to the roadway. In order to function properly, it was noted in the memo, the shared access needs a reciprocal easement; granting rights through the apartment parcel side of the curb cut to the Stadium properties and conversely granting rights through the Stadium side of the curb cut to the apartment property. The developer agreed to provide a
reciprocal access easement with the condition that should the proposed redevelopment of the parcel to the west (the Stadium property) be significantly different from an up to 260-unit apartment complex, White Bear Lake Apartments LLC has the right to revisit the maintenance costs allocations.

Credit for reviving this art form is mostly attributed to Juan Quesada, who found pottery shards in caves found in the mountains surrounding the village of Mata Ortiz. In the '50s, an abandoned city was excavated to reveal a complete pottery workshop. This pottery was brought back to life by Quesada and villagers. Visiting artist Cesar Bugarini from Chihuahua, Mexico, will demonstrate techniques using traditional methods during the pottery sale Sept. 12-14.

LOOKING BACK Week of September 1-7, 2019 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1919 The opening day of the special session of the Legislature, Monday, Sept. 8, will be the gala day in the history of the women of Minnesota. The women have been given to understand that the ratification of the Federal Suffrage Amendment will take place that day in both House and Senate making Minnesota the 15th state to ratify. No serious controversy is expected. A mighty celebration will be in order. 1944 St. Mary’s parochial school will open for enrollment Tuesday morning, September 5, at 9 o’clock. It is expected there will be almost 300 children registered. The eight rooms will be used with the same number on the teaching staff. Sister Firmina is the principal. 1969 Dr. Carl Gerber, president of Lakewood State Junior College, appeared before the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday to bring members up to date on the development of the junior college in White Bear Lake. Gerber said that because of limitations of staff and facilities, the present junior college is not fully doing the job that it should. He said that with the completion of the first construction phase by next June, programs will be expanded to more nearly fulfill the commitment of the junior college in this area.

1994 The peppery clean smell of newly laid carpet, fresh paint, amicable salespeople and talkative customers brought life to the large brown building on the corner of Fourth and Cook streets in downtown White Bear Lake. On opening day, Thursday, Sept. 1, the ambience was appropriate – Abbott Paint and Carpet store had just moved
in after spending three years at its former location at 2200 Fourth St. The paint store is now occupying the full 11,000 square foot Applebaum’s grocery building, 2223 Fourth St. Looking Forward to the Past Upcoming Historical Society Events White Bear Area Historic House Tour 2019

Lake Links Association assesses progress, plans for future In place of a public meeting in September, the Lake Links Association board of directors, comprising members from communities around White Bear Lake, will meet to discuss progress and remaining tasks to complete a dedicated route for bicyclists and pedestrians around the lake. As an advocacy organization, Lake Links has focused on two critical elements to complete a safer route for the public. Those elements are the identification, location and
acquisition of sufficient right of way to build a great trail, and the appropriation of funding that will enable local units of government to make the necessary improvements. With regard to the fi rst goal, Lake Links has delved into documents more than 160 years old and spent hours researching Washington and Ramsey county records, as well as working with the right-of-way staff and library services at the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Maps as old as the 19th century and

aerial photographs dating back to the early years of flight have also been located and reviewed. During this effort, Lake Links has researched traffic conditions and identified about 3 miles of public road appropriate for trail use. It has located documents delineating more than a mile of publicly owned land suitable for the trail. The scope, width and actual location of right of way associated with public roads has been investigated, revealing available routes in critical areas. There is still work to do, particularly with understanding and locating usable land. In addition, Lake Links will need to complete discussions with a number of families whose land abuts important elements of the trail. To date, owners of more than a mile of property useful for the trail have informally agreed to accommodate the trail. “We are very grateful for those commitments and will be working in the next months to garner more,” said Lake Links Ramsey County Cochair Mike Brooks. Public agencies have provided great support in the Lake Links research. “The surveyor’s office of Washington County, the public records departments of both Washington and Ramsey counties, and especially MnDOT staff have provided remarkable service helping to locate critical historical documents, and providing surveying services,” said Washington County Co-chair Steve Wolgamot. “Including very recent commitments, we now have informal agreements covering more than 96% of the ideal trail route.” Trail progress is appearing on the ground, with completion of trail elements in north Mahtomedi expected within weeks, including a privately donated bridge in Street-
car Park. Work on Birchwood Road in Mahtomedi will begin in the spring. Construction of 1.5 miles of trail along South Shore Boulevard is funded. Ramsey County, White Bear Lake and White Bear Township are working to determine fi nal design for that part of the trail, which represents fully 15% of the 10-mile route. Preliminary engineering has been undertaken and fi nanced for 100% of the route, demonstrating the practicality of completion, and 80% of the route is designated, completed or funded. Lake Links will work with the State Legislature in the upcoming session to obtain funding for elements in Dellwood, along Highway 96 and for a short stretch in Birchwood, the only unfunded areas remaining to complete the trail. Legislative efforts have been led by local legislators: Sen. Chuck Wiger, Rep. Peter Fischer, former Rep. Matt Dean and current Rep. Ami Waszlawik; Rep. Leon Lillie; Sen. Richard Chamberlain, Sen. David Senjem and Sen. Karin Housley. The willingness of local governments to step up is also critical to the completion of the trail. Lake Links expresses gratitude to White Bear Township, Dellwood and Birchwood, with special thanks to White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi, whose existing city trails make up a significant part of the route. “Our slogan, our goal and our commitment remain unchanged,” Wolgamot said. “We will get this done.” Press release

Stormy offense sends Bears past Anoka 46-6 in opener BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Thunder and then lightning was unleashed by the White Bear Lake Bears, on an otherwise pleasant Thursday evening, in the football opener. Cam Zaleski was the thunder in a 46-6 win over Anoka, rumbling into the end zone four times in the fi rst half, on bursts of four, seven, five and one yard, in his varsity debut. Brice Peters was the lightning. A returning starter, he bolted 85 yards for touchdowns — twice — on a pass from Branden Berwald and a run off right tackle, both in the second half. “We want Cam to have the ball in ‘downhill’ situations,” coach Ryan Bartlett said. “He is a strong kid, tough kid, and he can break tackles.” Peters isn’t much of a tackle-breaker, but watch out if he sees daylight. “Brice is explosive. He makes plays,” Bartlett said. “If he gets some space, he is hard to catch.” Berwald threw just six passes but completed four for 154 yards. The junior QB’s fi rst varsity pass was a 19-yard completion to John McBride. Peters had 170 of his 195 yards on those two plays, totaling 107 yards in six rushes, and 88 yards on two receptions. Zaleski carried 14 times for 65 yards. Will Menier hit five of six passes for 34 yards in the fourth quarter when the backups took over, and Moses Hancock closed the scoring with a fiveyard run. The Bears defense came up with interceptions by Spencer Oxton and Will Flemons and held Anoka to 57 rushing yards in 28 attempts. The Tornadoes did gain 150 yards in the air, completing 15 of 25. The Bears took a quick 20-0 with three straight “short” fields, all leading to Zaleski touchdowns. “We wanted the wind at our back in the fi rst quarter,” Bartlett said, “thinking if we could get some three-and-outs from our defense, we’d be in good position. And that worked out pretty well for us. We’ve been on the other side of that a few times.” A sack by Monte Collins and Mitch Landsberger forced Anoka to punt from the goal line, and the punt was shanked out of bounds at the 25. The subsequent kickoff bounced off the Anoka return man and Caleb Mitchell recovered at the Anoka 18. The next series started at the 36 as Anoka had

Anoka, a struggling program (1-17 the last two seasons), got on the board with a three-yard run by Cody Lindenberg late in the second half. It looked like the half would end 20-6, as the Bears had a third-and-long at midfield with un-
der a minute left. However, Berwald hit Rico Kirk in stride over the middle, and the 6-4 wide receiver took it 49 yards. He was tackled at the one and Zaleski scored from there.

Steve Runkel pulls in a pass along the sidelines that helped set up a Jordan Hull touchdown, at left, in the third quarter of the Zephyrs’ 13-10 home opener loss against Park.
Home opener: Zephyrs fall to Park’s late surge 13-10 Mahtomedi had a shutout for three quarters but gave up two big plays late in the game and lost their football opener to Park of Cottage Grove 13-10 on Thursday evening. After a scoreless half, the Zephyrs took a 10-0 lead on Jordan Hull’s 18-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, and
Kyle Oswald’s 26-yard field goal in the fourth. Park’s Andres Pettis broke loose for a 67-yard touchdown, pulling his team within 10-6 (they missed the extra point). The Wolfpack then struck again with Jake Kuemmel passing to Donovan Blatcher for a 59-yard score.
Mahtomedi quarterback Johnny DeVore completed 10 of 21 passes for 110 yards and no interceptions. Steve Runkel caught three for 41 yards, Tyler Tangwall one for 34, Bjorn Sather three for 22, and Nick Weisner three for 19. Hull gained 53 yards in eight carries and Josh Praml 58 in
seven carries. Park rushed for 202 yards — Pettis had 136 yards on 10 carries — while Kuemmel completed six of 11 for 96 yards. Mahtomedi rushed for 110 yards and passed for 116. They lost one fumble, the only turnover in the game. Zephyr tackle leaders were
Hull and Eddie Breien with seven each, and Oswald and Dominic Fedie with six each. Nathan Kujawa made two tackles for loss, and Isaac Honebrink and Tony Neubeck one each. Bruce Strand

Press release

Minnesota’s bear hunting season opened Saturday, Sept. 1, and the Department of Natural Resources is asking hunters to avoid shooting marked research bears. These bears are marked with distinctively large, colorful ear tags and have radio collars. Researchers with the DNR are monitoring about 30 radio collared black bears across the state, especially in zones 27, 25 and 45, and in parts of the no-quota zone. Most of them are in or near the Chippewa National Forest between Grand Rapids and Bigfork. Others are farther north, near Orr or Voyageurs National Park. Some collared bears are also around Camp Ripley, and in northwestern Minnesota, especially near Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area and Plummer. “We’re asking hunters to watch out for these valuable research bears, and avoid shooting them. These collared bears are providing much of the data that is being used in bear management,” said Dave Garshelis, DNR bear research scientist.
With 20 seconds left, Janicki smothered a close-range shot by Mahtomedi to preserve the lead. She stopped five of six shots on goal.

Two goals by Kayla Anderson in the second half lifted White Bear Lake over Mahtomedi 2-1 in a duel of neighboring soccer powers Thursday evening in White Bear Lake. Both teams are 2-1. “Our team played with high energy, and pressured the ball well,” said David Ashley, Bears co-coach along with John Dierkhising. “Mahtomedi’s a really strong team, and it’s always a fast-paced, competitive game with them.” Mahtomedi led 1-0 at halftime on a goal by Audrey Barry in the 18th minute. After Bears goalie Ella Janicki made a diving stop, the Zephyrs pounced on the rebound and Barry punched it in. Anderson knotted the score in the 48th minute off a Mahtomedi goal kick, which Madison Carroll re-directed to the senior forward, who dribbled right, cut left, and fi red a low, left-footed shot that deflected off a Zephyr defender. The go-ahead goal came with 4:32
Cam Zaleski had a varsity football debut most kids can only dream about last week. The 5-10, 200-pound senior busted into the end zone four times in the first half, from four, seven, five, and one yard, and totaled 65 yards in 14 carries, to help the Bears beat Anoka 46-6 at home. “He had a good year on JV last year and worked hard in the weight room to get ready for this year,” coach Ryan Bartlett said. “He’s a real good downhill runner.” Minnesota’s #1 Volume Toyota Dealer!

Otters teach adaptive skiing at 2nd annual clinic The Midwest Ski Otters partnered with the Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute to host the 2nd annual adaptive waterski clinic on Saturday, Aug. 24 on Goose Lake. Clinic organizers were Caroline Grubs, a White Bear Lake High School senior and a member of the Midwest Ski Otters, along with Kristi Skillings, the ski team’s founder and show director. Courage Kenny organized the list of adaptive skiers, supplied the adaptive equipment and a few volunteers. The Ski Otters provided boats, drivers, and skiers, as well as additional volunteers that were required in the safety boat and along the shore. The Ski Otters host several Learn to Ski camps and perform free ski shows every Sunday throughout the summer for the White Bear Lake community. Team members are passionate about the sport, which is highlighted by the addition of the adaptive clinic. The hashtag, #PassTheHandle, is something the team takes to heart. Passing the handle is simply sharing the love of waterskiing with new people. Submitted

Barkwell foursome among locals competing at water ski nationals BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The Barkwell family of Mahtomedi was well-represented in the GOODE U.S. National Water Ski Championships in West Palm Beach, Florida, last month. Zachary and Ethan Barkwell, 9-year-old twins, placed third and fifth, respectively, in B1 slalom. They qualified by placing first and second in regionals. Taylor Barkwell, 11, placed 19th in G2 slalom while Nikola Barkwell, 13, placed 23rd. Also from the White Bear Press area: Evelyn Duvall, 60, of White Bear Township, placed fourth in W6 slalom and third in tricks.
Steve Wolgamot, 71, of Mahtomedi, placed 10th in M8 slalom and his grand-daughter, Hailey Wolgamot, 12, placed 10th in G2 slalom. Scoring is based on many factors, including speed of the boat, length of the rope (the shorter the rope, the higher the difficulty), and number of buoys cleared, with different standards for different age groups. The Barkwell family has dual citizenship, and just after the U.S. nationals, they competed in the Canadian nationals in Montreal, Quebec. In Canada, a much smaller meet, Zachary and Ethan placed first and second in slalom, and second and third in tricks. Taylor placed first in both slalom and tricks. Nikola placed sixth in her division.

Mahtomedi tennis comes out strong BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The Mahtomedi tennis team had an impressive fi rst two weeks. The Zephyrs won a tournament and two dual meets, while losing to the topranked Class A team, under new coach Aaron Freer. In a Stillwater tournament Aug. 16, the Zephyrs scored 36 of a possible 42 points to place fi rst among eight teams. Annika Munson, state qualifier as a seventh-grader last year, took second at No. 1 singles, losing to Class A’s No. 2 ranked Clare Palen of Rochester Lourdes. Nabbing singles titles were junior Lauren Splett at No. 2 and freshman Sonya Potthoff at No. 4, each going 3-0. Mari Meger, freshman at No. 3, had a loss and two wins to place fi fth. The Zephyrs doubles teams all placed fi rst, with seniors Sarah Hoffman and Elena Carlson at No. 1, senior Annika Hillstrom and junior Liv Kent at No. 2, and juniors Hanna Bradt and Alayna Schweiters along with 8th-grader Kate
Hoffman at No. 3. All went 3-0. Class A power Blake, whose lineup boasts three of the top four ranked players, scuttled the Zephyrs 5-2 on Aug. 19. Meger got an injury default win while leading 3-0 at 4S. Schwieters/Chloe Irvine won 6-2, 3-6, 6-5 at 3D. “(Their singles) proved to be too deep for us,” said Freer. “We headed in thinking it might be 4-3 either way … It was a solid effort. I thought we were about 10 games collectively from turning a 2-5 defeat into a 4-3 victory.” The Zephyrs defeated a section rival, Stillwater, 6-1, on Aug. 22. “Our top two singles (Splett and Munson) were in control from the get-go and helped instill confidence in the rest of our team.” Meger won a back-and-forth match and Bradt pulled out a 7-6, 7-6 (5) win. On Tuesday, the Zephyrs prevailed 6-1 over Centennial, which had all seven previous matches. Munson and Splett each won 6-0, 6-0, leading another singles sweep. In doubles, Carlson/Hoffman and Irvine/Schwieters each lost the fi rst set but won the next two.

WEEKLY AVERAGES WEATHER TIDBIT on to your hat. We had big winds last week, roaring up to near 40 mph. It was SEPT. 4 - 10, 2019 Hang three straight days of high, non-thunderstorm winds. Rain was plentiful the last High 75° week of August. You may have got caught up in the storm on Tuesday, August 27 and experienced marble-size hail and nearly an inch of rain. For August, I totaled Low 55° 6.18 inches of rain which is nearly 2 inches wetter than normal. For the year we are %Sun 59% over 5 inches wetter than normal. A friend was bemoaning the end of summer the other day. I reminded her that we are still 3 1/2 months away from having a steady PCP 0.72” snow cover. The next several months should be rather enjoyable. No heat and bugs, just plenty of fall color and activities. Nature Note: My monarch butterfly should be ending its Chrysalis stage very soon. It’s been three weeks since I found it on a milkweed growing in the garden. I’m looking for weather/nature/outdoor pictures for my 2020 calendar. Have one? Email me at Watsonwx@aol.com.

Fresh off the press The Minnesota Newspaper Museum at the State Fair offers attendees the opportunity to see live how historical newspaper production worked. The museum has a working cylinder press, folder and linotype machines. Each year, the museum produces a newspaper, the “Maynard News,” during the fair.

My name is Skip Ford and I am, quite simply, a builder. I have a general contractor’s license, I am bonded and insured, and I have been in the business for well over 30 years. My father was in construction and taught me to be careful and honest in my work and my business dealings. I provide free estimates and can assist in the project design. I work closely with my team and feel that a ‘hands on’ approach provides you with the best quality product. I will work hard to help you realize the preceptions you have for your home. There is no limit on what I can do.
