Church’s ‘Love Thy Neighbor’ sign stolen from yard overnight BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A golden yellow sign proclaiming “#Love Thy Neighbor (no exceptions)” outside First Presbyterian Church on Bloom Avenue went missing overnight Aug. 26. A church staff member said the sign was there the evening of Aug. 25 and gone the next morning. She looked for it around the church, hoping it was somewhere to be found but determined it had been stolen. She promptly ordered another one and said she planned to call the police after a morning meeting. The sign was a way for the church to publicly state what they know to be the command of Jesus, to love their neighbors as themselves. “It appears someone may have taken exception to this idea,” said Pastor Neil Craigan. However, Craigan said he hopes the sign was taken by teenagers trying to be funny rather than someone who was angry at the message. SEE STOLEN SIGN, PAGE 9A

Plaintiffs prevail in lake level lawsuit BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

After five sometimes wet — sometimes dry — years, the lake level lawsuit is over. The plaintiffs, the White Bear Lake Restoration Association and intervening homeowners association, won. The defendant, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), lost. In her last case before retiring Aug. 31, District Court Judge Margaret Marrinan ruled that the DNR's current and planned permitting of high-capacity wells and man-

agement of White Bear Lake and the Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer violated both the Minnesota Environmental Rights Act (MERA) and the public trust. The DNR's conduct, the judge decided, has impaired White Bear Lake and its underlying aquifer by allowing excessive pumping, all the while knowing the withdrawals were not sustainable. A member of the plaintiff's legal team, Katie Crosby Lehmann, used the word “ecstatic” to describe their reaction to Marrinan's decision, signed Aug. 30.

“Our clients took on their civic duty to force the DNR to follow Minnesota's environmental laws,” noted Lehmann, founder and managing partner with Ciresi Conlin LLP. “Their actions help ensure sustainable water for all citizens and businesses drawing water from one of our primary aquifers, the Prairie du Chien-Jordan.” The 140-page decision came five months after the close of the non-jury trial March 29. Over and over throughout the document, the judge emphasized the strong connection SEE LAWSUIT, PAGE 8A

Zephyr Theatre casts a spell in Stillwater parks this September BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR

STILLWATER — On idyllic, cool summer nights in the St. Croix Valley, it isn’t hard to believe that mischievous fairies and wild spirits roam the wide and wooded parks of Stillwater. Some of these revelrous spirits will manifest in Stillwater public parks this September, as Zephyr Theatre Company presents outdoor productions of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Though not quite midsummer anymore, this show captures the magic of Shakespeare’s fantasy-filled play, featuring enchantments, devious spirits, fairy kings, transformations, mistaken identities and a ribald sense of humor. “I do think there’s something magical about performing theater outdoors, especially ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ where the setting is a magical forest,” said Zephyr Theatre Artistic Director Calyssa Hall. “Since we’re still working on our fundraising to purchase the Zephyr building, we thought, ‘Let’s try to get our programming started now and do something outdoors and actually produce something professionally while working on the campaign,’” Hall said. The Zephyr Theatre Company plans to purchase the currently vacant Zephyr Depot on Main Street to convert into a professional theater. Hall said that the company has raised approximately $800,000 out of the million needed to close on the property—the theater aims to close the gap by this November. The shows are free to the public, and will move from park to park in the area. The first few shows already took place in Oak Park Heights’ Valley View Park in the last weekend of August, but upcoming performances will be staged at Pioneer Park in Stillwater, Barkers Alps in Bayport and one mystery location for the final performance to be announced. The show features professional actors, some from the Stillwater area, and takes full advantage of the scenic outdoor setting. “We’re trying to do as many unique visual elements as we can,” Hall said. “First of all, the show is very funny, there’s a lot of physical humor, and the set is visually appealing. I just think bringing Shakespeare to the park for free emphasizes that theater is still popular entertainment, and it can still be an important experience for people to have, to see a classic show like this in such a fun setting.” The show will also feature original music composed by Stillwater musician Roderick Phipps-Kettlewell, and played on violin by Penelope Corbett, a member of the Minnesota Youth Symphony Orchestra. Violin was the instrument of choice

because of its ability to carry sound in an outdoor setting, Phipps-Kettlewell said. “I played violin, I understand violin, and so it’s got a kind of folky feel to it,” Phipps-Kettlewell said. Not knowing anything about who might ultimately perform the pieces, Phipps-Kettlewell decided to compose something doable for most violinists and go from there. “So I started thinking about the woods and what they inspired for me,” he said. “Many composers have set the woods of Shakespeare (to music). The text in the play is actually designated as a song—it’s just a melody—but I went with the word stresses and created the song, played by violin … and the actors speak it while she plays the melody. It really does bring out some of the aspects of the text and the threatening tone of it.” This particular piece is the lullaby used by the fairies to send the fairy queen Titania to sleep. There are several other moments in the narrative that were also put to music. In one instance, Phipps-Kettlewell has included a nod to the Vaughan Williams composition “The Lark Ascending” when the characters hear the call of the lark heralding the morning. Another piece underlines the emotional intensity of the fairy king’s speech, and the last

ends the show with a celebratory jig. “It’s very suitable for violin, very much light-footed and joyous,” Phipps-Kettlewell said. “It’s fun to try and match all the themes to try to make it work as a piece that added something at really key points where music was called for in the script. It was a great creative challenge.” Phipps-Kettlewell completed the songs within a few weeks, and then connected with Corbett, who was recommended to him by friends. “It would be a great experience for her, and that’s sort of what we’re trying to do with Zephyr is encourage that creativity, show her how these things work,” he said. “Basically what this is, is Calyssa and I sat down and had an idea and we made it happen. (We are) taking a dream and making it a reality, so it’s a wonderful metaphor, and I think it’s great to encourage young people.” Phipps-Kettlewell looks forward to the day the Zephyr Theatre has its own performance space, and plans to stay closely involved in the future. “It’s bringing professional theater to Stillwater and making it accessible,” he said. “It’s a community resource, and I would hope people would want to support it because it really makes a difference to have it accessible to people in

Back to school

chool buses make more than 10,000 bus trips daily in Minnesota. With school back in session, it’s up to us to keep the roads safe and start seeing children. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety more children are hurt outside a bus than on a bus. The danger zone is the area around a bus. From 2011 to 2015, there were 3,396 school bus crashes in Minnesota and 13 resulted in death. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, school buses are the safest mode of transportation for children. It sounds odd but children are eight times safer riding a bus to school any other vehicle. Motorists Publisher’s than must stop 20 feet from a school bus that is displaying red flashing lights View or when its stop arm is extended, Carter Johnson when approaching from the rear and from the opposite direction on undivided roads. Red flashing lights on buses indicates students are either entering or exiting the bus. As always, it’s key to remain alert for children crossing the street. Motorists are required to watch and stop for pedestrians. The law applies to all streets corners, for both marked and unmarked crosswalks. Every corner is a crosswalk. Another way to keep children safe is to find alternate routes than those highly traveled by buses. The department recommends looking for alternate routes or even scheduling your drive to avoid buses in an effort to improve safety. As a bonus, motorists won’t be stuck behind a bus. Stay safe and alert. More tips can be found at the Minnesota Department of public safety website. Hurricane Harvey Our hearts and prayers go to those in the flooded and storm damaged areas of Hurricane Harvey. With technology improving, coverage of storms is often being streamed live. We are seeing destruction clearer today. Our families here at the Press wonder how we can help. Should we drive down, should we donate, what should we do, can our office do something? One member of the team said they plan to work through their church. Some have taken up collections of baby formula and diapers to send down. One group heard of plans to take truck loads of supplies down to Texas. St. Andrew’s Lead Pastor Mike Carlson said it is best to take the lead from those closest to the flood. If you would like to donate, he recommended Lutheran Disaster Response. The Federal Trade Commission has a few tips for giving after the storm. Be cautious of charity scams and do some research to ensure that your donating will go to a reputable organization that will use the money as promised. Donate to charities you know and trust with a proven track record with dealing with disasters. Be alert for charities that seem to have sprung up overnight in connection with the current events. Check out the charity with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch or Guide Star. Designate your donation for the disaster so you can ensure your funds are going to the disaster relief rather than a general fund. Don’t assume that charity messages posted on social media are legitimate. Research the organization yourself. When texting to donate, confirm the number with the source before you donate. The charge will show up on your mobile phone bill, but donations are not immediate. Find out if the charity or fundraiser must be registered in your state by contacting the National Association of State Charity Officials. If they should be registered, but are not, consider another charity. It will take time for the water to recede in southeastern Texas, damage to be fully assessed and a clean-up plan implemented.

Preparing students for the next age

ahtomedi Zephyrs are off to a great start. The back to school events included remarkable Zephyrs including alumni of distinction Dr. Lynda Polgreen, class of 1992, the academic recognition of students, and years of service awards. Among the highlights was the keynote by our own teacher of the year — Mackin. Movers & Kathy Her talk on compassion was Shakers inspiring and Dr. Mark Larson has set the stage for another terriﬁc year. One thing we’ve done well in Mahtomedi is develop outstanding scholars. Mahtomedi students consistently perform quite well on standardized measures and have received accolades from state and national publications. But I think it is time for new thinking as those student skills are well suited for the Information Age — where most people work in the ofﬁce with their brains. They have critical thinking skills, analytical skills, computational skills, communication skills,

and a lot more. But our world is changing and, I believe, on the cusp of a new age. In our country’s short history, there have been distinct ages — the Agricultural Age where most people worked in the agriculture business; the Industrial Age where many people left the farm and worked in the factory with their hands; to what is now the Information Age where many people left the factory and moved to the ofﬁce where they work mostly with their brains. I believe this next age will be one where we work mainly with our hearts, not just our hands or brains. The Age of the Heart will be about empathy and compassion, diversity, listening, and understanding. In addition to our work on the heart, this upcoming year we will study school start times, look to develop and create more innovative practices in teaching and learning, continue our equity journey as we work to provide opportunities for all, and examine school ﬁ nances and budgets. The E-12 portion of Minnesota’s state budget for education has continued to decline as a percentage of the

total budget. This means that education, for the State of Minnesota, is not the priority it once was. The lack of funding creates imbalances in many school districts and Mahtomedi is no exception. School districts have been doing their best even when the funding from the state hasn’t kept up with inflation. According to the Association of Metropolitan School Districts (AMSD), if the state aid formula allowance had increased by the rate of infl ation each year since 2003, the 2017-18 allowance per student would be $6,767. This is $579 more than the current state aid allocation of $6,188 per student. In spite of the lack of appropriate funding, great things are happening in our schools. Each day we have terrific teachers who engage, challenge, and inspire students to be their best. And every day we have remarkable students that we are fortunate to teach. As our 2017-18 year unfolds, we are expecting great things and growth in both the mind and the heart. Dr. Mark Larson is superintendent of Mahtomedi Public Schools.

Lake still at risk The lake level for White Bear Lake was sufficient to reopen the beach at Ramsey County Park on White Bear Lake earlier this summer. Grandparents, parents and children have thoroughly enjoyed the reopening of this great asset for Ramsey County, Washington County and Hennepin County residents. I’d like to thank Commissioners Victoria Reinhardt and Blake Huffman as well as the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department for reopening the beach and clearing out all of the small trees, bushes and weeds that have grown in the beach over the last nine years. However, most people are unaware that our precious asset of White Bear Lake remains at risk. The USGS and other hydrologists have modeled our lake and have confirmed that the lake level will drop 1.5-5 feet when our local rainfall returns to normal or below normal due to high-volume municipal wells that are depleting our groundwater aquifers. On Aug. 30 Ramsey County District Judge Margaret Marrinan issued her ruling in favor of the plaintiffs the White Bear Lake Restoration Association and White Bear Lake Homeowners’ Association Inc. and against the defendant, the Minnesota DNR. Judge Marrinan’s ruling was a major rebuke for the DNR for not protecting White Bear Lake as required by Minnesota law. I encourage everyone who is interested in maintaining and conserving our precious lake for future generations to read Judge Marrinan’s ruling as well as her orders for the Minnesota DNR. Judge Marrinan’s ruling can be found on the Friends of White Bear Lake website: www.fowbl.org. It is my personal hope that the Minnesota DNR fully complies with the orders contained in Judge Marrinan’s ruling and not waste any more time or money in court on this critically important matter.

Wildwood Elementary does not face potential closure BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

GRANT — Wildwood Elementary School is not facing potential closure, despite rumors you may have heard. The school land parcel is one of three properties that were discussed at a Grant public hearing Sept. 5, after press time. The city is consider-

ing vacating existing conditional use permits (CUPs) for parcels that are no longer relevant to their current use. Those properties include Wildwood Elementary School, Costa Farm and Greenhouse, and a vacant property. Specifically, Wildwood School still has a CUP for the old waste transfer station that was located

on the site and Costa Farm has one for a cell phone tower that was never built, said Grant Mayor Jeff Huber. The city annually reviews CUPs that are no longer relevant and considers canceling, or vacating, them, he noted. CUPs can be stacked on a property when land use changes because a new CUP does not

automatically vacate the old one. “The hearing has nothing to do with the operations of the school district,” noted city attorney Kevin Sandstrom. Wildwood School, which opened in 2013, received a CUP for a school but the old 1977 CUP for the transfer station has not yet been vacated.

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

Vadnais Heights • Homeowners on Heritage Court called animal control when they were greeted the afternoon of Aug. 23 by a ”baby squirrel” on their front steps. Officers set up a live trap and the young squirrel followed a sunflower seed trail into the cage. It was then relocated to its nest in the trees. • A homeowner in the 4400 block of Evergreen Drive asleep on his couch awoke Aug. 23 in the pre-dawn darkness to fi nd a male with a fl ashlight looking at him. “What are you doing?” he yelled at the intruder. “Looking for Kayla,” the man replied. He was told to “get out” along with a second prowler found in the home. The pair had entered the residence through an unlocked sliding glass door around 4 a.m. and rummaged through several drawers before being confronted by the homeowner. Lock your doors, folks. • A Mayfair Road man, 29, assaulted his girlfriend, also 29, just after midnight August 23, because she was on the phone with one of his friends, “and he didn’t like it,” the girlfriend told arriving deputies who were answering a 911 call. The boyfriend was charged with domestic assault, fi fth-degree assault and disorderly conduct and booked into the Ramsey County Jail. Alcohol was involved. • A man in a 2002 Jaguar who was passed out at the pump was arrested the evening of Aug. 24 at a gas station in the 3400 block of Rice Street.

The 55-year-old local, found with keys in the ignition and the engine running, was charged with third-degree DWI, based on his BAC and one prior DWI conviction. The Jaguar was impounded. • A male employee, age 48, at WalMart was arrested the afternoon of Aug. 24. The man, who was accused of stealing $400, only admitted to taking $20. He was charged with “misdemeanor theft of $500 or less.” • Things did not go as planned for the 40-year-old male employee of a charitable social service agency in the 3300 block of Labore Road. He was featured on video Aug. 25, stealing a 39-yearold female employee’s wallet. The man who was booked into jail faces charges of fi nancial transaction card fraud and possession of methamphetamine. • A man out cold was found behind the wheel the evening of Aug. 26 at the intersection of I-35E and County Road E with his foot on the brake and his vehicle in “drive.” The 31-year-old St. Paul man, who has two prior DWI convictions, was booked into jail on a charge of “fourth-degree DWI, pending additional charges.” His vehicle was impounded. • Folks watching a pay-for-view boxing match in the 2700 block of Noel Drive just after midnight Aug. 27 were amusing themselves by tossing peanuts at one another when the fun got outof-hand. A 38-year-old Roseville woman was charged with disorderly conduct. • A 65-year-old man in a wheelchair, “down on his luck,” was reported knocking on people’s doors on Heritage Court the evening of Aug. 27 looking for a ride. County Adult Protection

Services was made aware of the unkempt man, a longtime resident of the area who lives alone in unsanitary conditions and had not taken in his mail in a while, according to a USPS carrier. An investigation continues.

White Bear Township • A 100-square-foot fi re consisting of construction materials was extinguished the afternoon of Aug. 23 by Lake Johanna fi refi ghters on Bald Eagle Island. A 35-year-old man who is building a home on the island, was cited for “illegal fi re.” • A 25-year-old St. Michael woman, taking doorto-door surveys, was greeted on Pond View Court Aug. 24 by a German shepherd at an unlatched screen door, and bitten twice. An investigation is underway. • It seems early, but the season opener for ice fi shing equipment theft kicked off Aug. 24 when a lock was cut on a shed in the 5500 block of Peterson Road. A gas-powered Jiffy ice auger valued at $100 went missing. • An attempt at a “Craig’s List” scam failed Aug. 24 when an innocent party listed a dining room table for sale for $450. A scammer immediately sent a check for $2,450, asking the seller to keep $450 and return a check for $2,000. Instead of trying to cash the $2,450 rubber check, the seller reported the scam attempt to authorities. • It would have made a scrapper’s day. A heavy metal safe, damaged and empty, was tossed in a dumpster and found the afternoon of Aug. 28 at Bellaire Beach. An investigation is underway.

Would-be rescuers give chase An angler towing two males with a flipped kayak and a paddle board was chased down by the White Bear Lake Police Fire Department boat and Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office water patrol Wednesday afternoon Aug. 30. A person in a flipped red kayak had been reported struggling to shore and rescue operations were launched from Matoska Park, according to the public safety departments. One of the males was cited for not having a personal flotation device after the sheriff’s office caught up with the fishing boat and brought the males to shore. The fishing boat had apparently attempted to rescue the males before responders arrived. No one was injured.

LAWSUIT: Judge orders DNR to take action to protect water levels of White Bear Lake FROM PAGE 1A

between groundwater pumping, the lake and the aquifer. “Groundwater use by northeast metro communities is not sustainable and that conclusion is indisputable,” Marrinan wrote. She cited Metropolitan Council projections that groundwater use will increase by at least another 30 to 56 percent by 2040 and accused the DNR of engaging in permitting practices that ignore those projections. Only the DNR has statutory authority to issue, modify or amend permits for groundwater appropriations. “The DNR did not consider the cumulative impact of its permitting decisions and has not re-opened, amended or right-sized municipal permits,” noted Marrinan. “Groundwater appropriations are having and will have a negative impact on White Bear Lake.” The judge didn't buy arguments that fluctuations in White Bear Lake were normal. She maintained that the lake's ability to rebound following wet years had lately “differed dramatically from its previous history; a phenomenon that cannot be explained by climate alone.” An emotional Greg McNeely said he couldn't be more pleased with the decision. As head of the White Bear Lake Restoration Association that brought the suit, McNeely said the order addressed all their concerns. “It was everything we hoped,” he said. “It's quite a win.” A brief statement issued by the DNR shortly after release of the ruling stated the agency was “deeply surprised and disappointed in the Court's order and its implications for citizens and communities in the area.”

The agency noted it needs time to complete a review of the opinion and to understand its implications. That includes taking any possible next steps. White Bear Lake City Manager Ellen Richter offered similar comment following release of the decision. The city was an intervenor in the case on the side of the DNR, as was White Bear Township. “Suffice it to say there is a lot in the 140-page document to review and dissect,” Richter said. “Certainly the implications of her ruling are significant at both the local and state level. If the watering restrictions outlined in her decision had been in place a decade ago (see sidebar), a ban on all irrigation would have been imposed in 2006 and still be in place today. This is just one of many implications that need to be considered as we evaluate next steps.” The city's retired former attorney, Roger Jensen, pointed out that the city already meets criteria for per-capita consumption ordered by the judge. “White Bear Lake is significantly below that number so there will be no direct impact on the city,” he said. Jensen served the city during the litigation years. “Also worth noting, when this lawsuit started the remedy plaintiffs were seeking was to have wells shut down, particularly the city's wells,” added Jensen. “The judge did not order those, which was the primary rationale for the city entering the lawsuit. The case changed dramatically from the remedy plaintiffs were seeking. One might attribute that to the city's intervention, but we'll never know that.” Another area where the city prevailed, noted the former White Bear counsel, was an opposition to aug-

JUDGE’S ORDER: WHITE BEAR LAKE RESTORATION ASSOCIATION V. DNR IIn her h decision, d i i District Di t i t Judge J d Margaret M t Marrinan M i ordered d d the th following: f ll i • The DNR cannot issue any new groundwater permits or increase existing permits until it reviews all existing permits within a 5-mile radius of White Bear Lake. The review must be completed within one year and results published in a public newspaper. If any of the permits do not comply with a statutory sustainability standard, they will be reopened and downsized within six months. • The DNR must set a protective elevation of 923.5 feet. The current protective elevation is 922 feet, a level the judge called a “meaningless” action that “rings hollow” as the agency has no contingency plan. If the lake drops below that elevation, a residential ban on irrigation will take effect and continue until the lake reaches 924 feet. The ban must be enforced. There was no mention in the ruling of what to do about private wells. Dellwood residents, for example, all have private wells. • All existing permits must include an enforceable plan to “phase down” per-capita residential water use to 75 gallons per day and total use to 90 gallons per day. This must be completed within one year. • Immediately amend all permits within a 5-mile radius of the lake to require that within one year, permittees submit a contingency plan in their water supply plans for conversion to total or partial supply from surface water sources. This plan will include a schedule for funding design, construction and conversion to surface water supply. • The DNR shall issue no groundwater appropriation permits unless it has sufficient hydrologic data to understand the impact on White Bear Lake and the aquifer. • Water supply plans must include measurable conservation goals. The DNR must take appropriate action on any community out of compliance by downsizing its permit. • For each day the DNR is out of compliance with the Order, it will be subject to a ﬁne of $1,000 per day. • Costs are awarded plaintiff and plaintiff/intervenor. That cost estimate is not yet available.

mentation with river water. “The judge absolutely rejected that in her decision,” Jensen said. He was surprised that the judge cited a violation of the Public Trust Doctrine in her order. The state doctrine holds that natural resources like water are for public use and that the government must protect them as such. The DNR violated the doctrine, Marrinan wrote, by causing a decline in levels of both the aquifer and the lake, diminishing the size of the lake, impacting public uses and for failing to take remedial measures within its authority. “Minnesota courts have not adopted the doctrine,” Jensen pointed out. “She has adopted it without any precedent in the state. That might be a concern the DNR might have, but that's their call. She could have imposed the same remedy without imposing the doctrine.” Plaintiff attorney Richard Allyn felt his clients had to face “numerous hurdles and nay-sayers” over the

course of the lawsuit. The Robins Kaplan partner described the ruling as a “carefully written” opinion and order that “provides a balanced remedy for the long-term threat to lakes like White Bear Lake. “It requires the DNR commissioner to take measures that, while they may not be politically popular with local politicians, will better ensure the survival of the northeast metro lake and groundwater natural resources.” As for McNeely, it's a vindication that ordinary citizens can accomplish big things. “We worked as a team with our attorneys, who did this pro bono, and it's a satisfied feeling to get a favorable judgment,” said the Dellwood resident. “We all believed in the same environmental cause to make a change. The court system worked to protect a natural resource. When it stops raining, there's no question, the lake will go down.”

New fashion brand all about feeling — and giving BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

When Amy Grabow was brainstorming names for a promising new product, a slang expression used by millennials came to mind: All the feels. It means “good vibes,” or “feeling goodness,” said the Birchwood mother of three. Grabow's new brand, All the Feels Co., is about giving goodness to others. “The term embodies what this brand is about, which is spreading warmth and joy,” she explained. It has long been Grabow's mission to have a career, a loving family and involvement in community. Being well-rounded was something her former employer, Target Corporation, preached to its employees. “After a 17-year career at Target, I wanted to do something that involved all three,” Grabow said. “I'm a mom to three girls and I wanted to show them you can have it all.” She'd been working on a new product with her current employer, Moscoe Group, when a former colleague called about an opportunity to partner with Target. The retail giant was looking to put a brand with a cause in its stores for the 2017 holiday season. “He knew I was working on something and asked if I would be interested in developing it for Target.” Within a week, Grabow and her small team had a name, logo and ideas on charitable partners. Her employer agreed to back it. When they pitched the idea, Target bought it for all 1,800 stores. And the product? Soft, fuzzy blankets. Middle-school girls love them. Their target market is 13- to 18-year-olds, an age group Grabow believes is very aware of happenings in the community. That demographic will expand as more items like sleeping bags and throws are added to the product line. Everything is under $50. The giving part works like this: For every blanket sold, All the Feels donates a blanket or fi nancial equiv-

alent to a nonprofit partner. Two partners were just announced as recipients of the giving: Covenant House, a provider of shelter and services to homeless youth, based in New York; and Together We Rise, a California nonprofit that provides necessities and bicycles for children in foster care. Both are national organizations that impact youth. Grabow emphasizes that All the Feels is a for-profit brand that works to maximize its giving. “We have little administrative costs,” she pointed out. “Our photo shoots are done in-house. We used locations like St. Andrew's and Mahtomedi beach. Our models are Mahtomedi girls invited to be part of this. Most are middle-schoolers whose families are involved in the community. They did it to help us get the brand off the ground.” The Birchwood mom and her husband Clint have three daughters, Abbey, Stella and Vivian, who all attend school in Mahtomedi. They range in age from 13 to 9. When she's not working on All the Feels, Grabow leads marketing and creative services for The Moscoe Group, a Minnetonka-based sales fi rm that represents suppliers to companies like Target and Best Buy. Her job is to travel the world to fi nd new brands and ideas to bring to retail. “I do trend forecasting, attend international trade shows and find things that are new that we can bring to Target and other retailers,” she said. Her girls have accompanied Grabow on some of the trips. “It's been a good fit now that they're older. They're more interested in what mom does,” she quipped. “None of the giving will be possible without the support of people buying our product,” Grabow added. The blankets go on sale at Target mid-September and will be sold through Christmas. They'll come in four colors and three sizes: twin, full/queen and king. Price range is $29.99 to $49.99. By the end of October, there will also be additional products on the website: Allthefeelsco.com.

STOLEN SIGN: Message will return FROM PAGE 1A

“Unfortunately, we do live in a culture where folks get upset at statements like that, and that is bad,” he said. However, the church plans to continue its public message when the new sign arrives in a week. “When we put up the sign I noted on my Facebook page that, ‘I sometimes wonder about the state of the church when we feel the need to post a banner like this. It should be obvious that this is what Christians stand for and yet in today’s climate it has somehow become a little murky. I’m glad to see our church is making it clear that we fi rmly stand with Jesus on this one,’” Craigan noted. The sign’s message has become popular among religious groups across the country recently. Craigan has seen several other churches with similar signs through friends on Facebook, although he has not seen any locally. “The sign was really just a response to some of the negative issues we have been seeing in our culture,” Craigan explained, in reaction to recent events in places like Charlottesville, Virginia. Churches are often slow to speak out against prejudice and Craigan felt like his needed to make a statement. He said the sign is an indication that the church believes in the parable of the Good Samaritan. “It should be one of the most obvious (parts of a church), but yet tragically the church is not perceived anymore in that light in our culture by a lot of folks,” Craigan noted.

Going in circles for the food shelf A man who thinks nothing of riding his bicycle 400 miles across South Dakota is taking on another challenge. Pete Ellis will circle his 0.875-mile block in White Bear Township 500 times to raise awareness for hunger in the White Bear area. Ellis, who works for an environmental testing company by day, will pedal the 500 laps Sept. 9 and 10. If you do the math, that's about 440 miles. Money he raises will benefit

the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf where a $1 donation can purchase up to $8 worth of food. The part-time Tri Fitness cycling coach said mileage isn't a factor. “From a ride down to the corner to peddling across South Dakota in 25 hours, I love all distances,” Ellis said. “I also love giving back.” Andrea Kish-Bailey, executive director of the food shelf, said one in nine Minnesotans go hungry every day. In the White Bear community, the food shelf provided almost 462,000 meals to 3,420 individuals. More than half of those served are children and 6 percent are senior citizens. During any given month, 600 families visit the food shelf. Supporters of Ellis' quest for hunger awareness can donate online at the WBL 500 Ride to Rid Hunger: whitebearfoodshelf.giv.sh/4800. He

hopes to raise $5,000 for the food shelf. Those who donate $100 or more will receive a T-shirt. At the $250 level, Tri Fitness is providing workout passes and Recycbike is throwing in bike tuneups. The giveaways at each donor level are listed online. As for Ellis, he tells his neighbors that if they see him circling his block, it's because he is training. “If I can get others to give because of disbelief as to why I would do something so wrought with sheer lunacy, the better,” he said. Every couple years, Ellis added, he gets “some hair-brained idea” to raise money for charity. This year he picked the food shelf. Debra Neutkens

Loon Chronicles: A Happy Sequel As harsh as Nature can be, which certainly was the case this summer with the untimely demise of our beloved chicks, Nature also has a way of taking us all by surprise and filling painful voids with new life and joyful activity. After reporting the chicks MIA in early July, Len and I scoured White Bear Lake looking for renewed nesting efforts. For weeks, Loon activity was hauntingly silent, with only a few sightings, here and there. Last week, that all changed! The rafting bachelors, whose membership has expanded to eight, provide daily entertainment with myriad behaviors, calls, and antics. The old warriors have taken an interest in watching after the new chicks, now juveniles, that have flown in from other lakes. A parent, possibly grandparent, and juvenile now call the lake home and can be seen fishing and diving together. This all bodes well for the future. We will continue to keep you posted.

Township holds hearing on financial agreement for Water Gremlin BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The White Bear Town Board is considering adopting an amendment to a tax increment financing (TIF) agreement with the Water Gremlin Company. The board currently has a TIF agreement in effect with the company, which was used to offset the costs of the original 72,000-square-foot facility. The company plans to expand to double the building size with another 72,000-square-foot structure that was already approved by the board. For the new building to qualify for TIF, it was necessary to make an amendment to the original agreement. The board opened the public hearing during its regular meeting on Aug. 28. However, at the time, the Water Gremlin representatives had not had enough time to look over the proposed amendment: the public hearing was continued to Sept. 18, when action on the TIF amendment will likely take place. In other action at the Aug. 28 meeting, the board: • Authorized the installment of no parking signs on Forest Court. Residents wrote in and requested a 225-foot-long zone marked for no parking. • Approved a contract with Simple Recycling for pickup service of soft recyclables. The five-year

contract is in conjunction with current pickup service from Republic Services. Simple Recycling will use orange bags provided to residents on request. Soft recyclables include clothing, jewelry, shoes, purses, toys, mirrors, blankets, microwaves, coffee makers and more. • Approved a three-dog license for a probationary period of six months while the owner of the dogs fi gures out how to manage a barking problem. The owner has four dogs, but one dog is nearly 13 years old and will likely be euthanized. • Authorized an advertisement for bids for work on Hammond Road, which would include reconstruction and replacement of pavement and deteriorated catch basin structures as well as turf restoration. The project cost is estimated at $50,000. Funding would come from the stormwater utility fund. • Approved a change order for $34,800 to Hydro-Klean for pipe repair and pipe sags, funded through the sanitary sewer fund. • Awarded a contract to Morris Excavating for more than $52,000 to install underdrains, or drainage tile, beneath the second field in Polar Lakes Park to provide faster recovery from rainfall events. Funding would come from the Polar Lakes Park Fund.

Tour de Success The Tour de Bar Bicycle Benefit Ride raised $12,000 for the sons of Tammy Hayes. Event organizer Mike Shearen presented the check to Shawn Kinde, left, Devin and Braden Hayes last week at Sak’s Sports Bar. The funds raised are being used to pay the remaining balance on their mother’s funeral expenses, for Shawn to obtain guardianship of the two minor boys, and to find new housing arrangements in the White Bear Lake area. Tammy Hayes died unexpectedly in April at the age of 39. Shearen reported 350 riders participated in this year’s benefit.

Trainer’s hockey journey includes delightful side trip to Italy BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Casey Rooney thought he was done with hockey. A few years after playing for a national champion team in Juniors, he had launched his own business, doing quality control for automotive and snowmobile plants, employing 20 people. Then his son Collin decided to be a goalie. Rooney never played goalie, so he enrolled his son in ProHy-

brid Training, run by Zach Sikich, who soon asked Rooney to join his staff. “That kind of dismantled my career,” laughs Rooney. Once the hockey bug was back, the White Bear Lake resident never shook it off. He stayed with ProHybrid for seven years, then started his own venture, Read React Hockey, in 2015. He’s training squirts to bantams from White Bear Lake, Eagan, Stillwater and Maple Grove while coaching a Bantam Elite team. “Life is really fun,” said Rooney. “Hockey all the time.” This past spring, hockey took Rooney on a new adventure: conducting camps in Italy and Switzerland. “I’d never been overseas before,” said Rooney, who took his wife (and book keeper) Allison along for six days of camps and seven days of leisure. Sean Skinner, a mentor of Rooney’s who travels the world 40 weeks a year doing hockey camps, recruited him for a week-long camp in Berase, in northern Italy, and a two-day camp in Bern, just over the border in Switzerland, in late May. Most Italian families’ incomes, he noted, can’t support a pricey sport like hockey, and their kids usually opt for the world’s most popular and least expensive game, soccer. But he had a few Italians. “Their level of play would be like C in Minnesota, or low B,” Rooney said. “They need lots of help, but there were some talented players, too. Most of the top players were Swiss. Hockey is the No. 1 sport in Switzerland.” Italy, meanwhile, was a blast. “The people were so nice, so welcoming, they treat you like family. And the food was amazing.” Imagine all those pasta dishes we savor except that “everything is fresh, grown right there in town” and prepared in genuine Italian style, such as the lasagne, which is “served in a bowl, with the cheese boiling.” The Rooneys saw many fit people there. “I actually came home lighter,” he said, “because the food is so clean.” The grandson of Don Rooney, patriarch of Rooney’s Nursery, he grew up in White Bear Lake and played hockey in the local associations (he was also a double in the “Mighty Ducks 3” movie) before taking his skating skills to Hill-Murray High School. Rooney, a center, went on the East Metro Lakers, helping them capture the 1999 national Juniors championships at a level one rung below the USHL, in Blaine. He played one season of college hockey.

Casey Rooney took a selfie with one of his young Italian skaters.

The business he ran for six years was Incoming Quality Services (IQS), which worked heavily, he said, with the Ford plant in St. Paul along with Cummins and Polaris. Collin, the son who got him back into hockey, now 15, played Bantam AA’s last year, but is currently sidelined with injury. The Rooney’s brood also includes Ari, 13, and Audrey, 6. As for Italy, the hockey experience, the hospitality and the pasta will surely pull him back. “Oh, yes,” he said. “We’’ll be going there every year.”

Seeking their fi rst win since 2015, the White Bear Lake Bears fell short in that quest, but gave the home crowd a thrilling rally to force overtime in their opener Thursday evening. The Centennial Cougars prevailed 27-21 on Sam Bonfe’s third touchdown of the game after the Bears rallied from a 21-6 deficit in the last 10 minutes, capped by a pair of trick plays. “The kids handled adversity very well,” reflected Bears coach Ryan Bartlett. “I liked their response.” It was the Bears’ 11th straight setback, starting with a playoff loss in 2015 when they won two games. The 2016 team was 0-9, including two close losses against very good teams in games much like this one. “We are very young and our inexperience on offense showed at times,” Bartlett said. “I think it will come. We have some talented juniors.” Centennial’s Bonfe barged for 125 yards in 15 carries, scoring from 14 and 21 yards in regulation. Quarterback Ryan Koob added 91 yards in 18 carries and scored on a two-

yard dive, while passing for just 21 yards. Cougar nose guard John Noll made three quarterback sacks and blocked an extra point. Bear quarterback Dan Lyons completed 22 of 30 passes for 221 yards and no interceptions, and capped two 80-yard drives himself, with a five-yard touchdown run in the fi rst quarter and a six-yard scamper in the fourth that pulled the Bears within 21-13 with 7:14 left. Lyons threw mostly short, but delivered a long strike on each scoring drive, to Alex Akins for 56 yards and to Russell Schoeller for 32 yards. But the biggest play for the Bears was a halfback pass that caught Centennial’s young defense fl at-footed for a 44-yard touchdown when Zachary Griebel lofted the ball to a wide-open Blake Charles with 2:58 left. Needing two to tie, the Bears got creative again, using an oddball “Gator” formation. Akins took the snap, rolled right and he, too, found the 6-foot-3 Charles in the end zone, knotting the score 21-21. In overtime, Centennial’s Justin Sanders blocked a field-goal attempt by the Bears, and Bonfe scored from one foot out on third down to end it.

Mahtomedi girls soccer starts season 3-1

Bear swimmers beat Park in opener

Mahtomedi girls soccer has a 3-1 record, marred only by a 1-0 overtime loss to White Bear Lake on Aug. 29. The Zephyrs beat Simley 5-1 the day before. “Our energy was a little flat, playing our fourth game in five days,” said coach Dave Wald about the loss to the Bears. “White Bear did a great job playing up-tempo and pressuring our players when they had the ball.” With Megan Lisowy in goal, the Zephyrs have allowed only two goals, while the scoring (11 goals) has been spread out, Wald said.

The White Bear Lake swimmers coasted to an opening win over Park of Cottage Grove 98-84 on Thursday evening at home, winning nine of 12 events, including all three relays. Individual winners were Melina Hughes (individual medley, 500 freestyle), Madison Beck (200 freestyle), Grace Johnson (50 freestyle), Bailey Letourneau (100 freestyle), and Sophie Scroggins (backstroke). The relay teams were Natalie Weier, Letourneau, Hughes and Johnson in the medley; Scroggins, Sydney McDonald, Beck and Johnson in the 200 free; and Hughes, Weier, Beck and Letourneau in the 400 free.

Fundraiser helps fight rare disease Ataxia is not a common disease. In fact, only about 150,000 people are affected in the United States. One of them, Rochelle (Korlin) Krone, graduated from White Bear Lake Area High School in 2004. Her mother, Laurie Korlin, is working to raise awareness about the debilitating genetic disease that causes a loss of motor skills. Krone was diagnosed with ataxia at the age of 21, Korlin said. Now 31, she has difficulty speaking, walking and writing. “Ataxia, as described by the National Ataxia Association, is derived from the Greek word 'a taxis,' which translates to 'without order or incoordination',” Korlin explained. “It has the

potential to affect the fi ngers, hands, arms, legs, body, speech, and eye movements. There really is no specific prognosis.” Nor is there a cure. Different types of ataxia will progress at varying rates depending on the underlying cause, age of diagnosis and rate of progression, Korlin said. Her daughter suffers from cerebellar ataxia, where the cerebellum did not fully develop. This affects Rochelle's balance and coordination. “Anyone can fi nd themselves affected by ataxia,” added Korlin. “It doesn't discriminate.” The Hugo family will have a team at the National Ataxia Foundation's annual “Walk & Roll” fundraiser Saturday, Sept. 9 to raise research

money towards a cure. The event will be held at Wolfe Park in St. Louis Park. They're hoping people will consider making a donation. “No amount is too small,” Korlin said, “and whatever anyone can give will be greatly appreciated.” To donate to Krone's team, called GoRoGo, go to ataxia.donorpages.com/WalknRoll2017Minnesota/GoRoGo. A check can also be mailed to the National Ataxia Foundation. Write "TEAM GO RO GO" on the memo line so the credit goes towards the family's goal of $500 or more.

County proposes property tax increases Ramsey County Manager Julie Kleinschmidt proposed to the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners a biennial budget of $704 million for 2018 and $723 million for 2019 in August. This represents a 1.9 percent increase of $12.8 million in 2018 and a 2.8 percent increase of $19.5 million in 2019. “This proposed budget moves Ramsey County forward by targeting investments that will modernize how we do business and improve our service delivery,” Kleinschmidt said. “That starts with continuing our development and retention of a skilled, adaptive and resilient workforce to meet the changing needs of our communities.” About $287 million (42 percent) of the county’s budget is funded through property taxes. The 2018 - 2019 budget proposal calls for an increase in Ramsey County’s property tax levy of 4.3 percent in each year, totaling $12.7 mil-

lion in 2018 and $13.3 million in 2019. Property taxes are calculated and levied based on properties’ market values. In the proposed 2018 budget, the owner of a median-valued single family home in Saint Paul ($161,400) would pay an additional $42 per year in county taxes on a projected property value increase of $12,500. In Ramsey County’s suburbs, the owner of a median-valued single family home ($221,900) would pay an additional $33 per year on an estimated property value increase of $13,000. Currently, nearly $194 million (28 percent) of Ramsey County’s total revenues come from federal and state grants and transfers. These revenues are forecast to increase to $195 million in 2018 and to $199 million in 2019. About $153 million (22 percent) of total revenues are from charges for services. This amount is projected to

increase by $5.3 million in the 20182019 biennium. The remaining $57 million (8 percent) of revenues are from other sources. This total amount is projected to decrease $3.9 million in the biennium. Funding for a number of new and expanded initiatives are proposed in 2018 and 2019. Community services include an effort to transition long-term homeless shelter users to permanent housing and meeting demand for increasing foster care placement costs. Regarding public safety, the county plans to increase security at the Adult Detention Center, expand funding for sexual assault prevention and replace the radio system at the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.

ABOUT THE BANDS

2:15 - 3:00 p.m.

Afternoon/Children’s Band: AlphaBits AlphaBits perform Music For Kids! 1500+ live concerts and a wave of rave reviews have established the AlphaBits band as one of Minnesota's premier children's musical acts. Two professional singers/musicians perform an interactive show for preschool aged kids. AlphaBits bring children to their feet: singing, dancing, hopping and shouting! Sandy & Chris have enjoyed entertaining Twin Cities kids for twenty plus years! AlphaBits rocks like a band. Joining our show, child volunteers join us onstage for antics. We perform old rock &roll tunes, re-vamped children’s hits and our own AlphaBits originals.

6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Main Band: Maiden Dixie: Maiden Dixie, a group of six Minneapolis-based rock/country band members who just launched their Wrecked Tour. A lesser-known fact and one that Maiden Dixie takes serious: they have three combat veterans on tour and give back to their community by promoting fundraising efforts for Pain Free Patriots, which supports veterans who are managing chronic pain as a result of their service to the country. Come out to White Bear Township and see how you can lend a hand to their efforts – all while enjoying the musical talent of Maiden Dixie. This local band has three albums and produced a music video for the song "New Again," which honors American veterans.

Jim Delesha: An eye for beauty 1. Where are you from, how old are you, and where do you live now?

able to capture in my photos. It gives them a sense of being there.

I am from White Bear Lake, 54 years old and I now live back in White Bear Lake after being away for many years. There's a special, small-town feel about White Bear Lake that I didn't realize I missed until I came back.

10. What is the most rewarding part about creating your art?

2. How and when did you get started as an artist?

11. What is the most challenging part?

I’ve been practicing photography consistently for three years.

3. Are you self-taught, or do you have formal training in art? If so, when and where? I am self-taught.

4. In what media do you work? Digital photography.

5. What are the most unusual materials or tools you use in your art, if any? I haven’t used any unusual materials yet but am interested in printing on different types of media and framing for my work. I enjoy experimenting with long exposure and using special lens filters when I photograph water.

6. What usually inspires you in your art? Does your art tend to have commonalities of theme, color, texture or design? I am inspired by the beauty of nature – wildlife, landscapes, cityscapes, sunsets and water.

7. How do you market your art? To date, I’ve only shared my work on social media.

8. At what price range is your art offered? I’m currently working out the details of pricing my work.

9. What is it about your art to which people seem to respond? They enjoy the beauty that I’ve been

It’s rewarding when my finished photos turn out the way I’ve envisioned when I’m taking the photos, and being able to share them with friends and family. A peaceful scene on White Bear Lake.

Learning to watch all the elements in your frame, not just the main subject, and having the right lens on my camera at the right time.

The Minneapolis skyline.

12. Do you have a "claim to fame" as an artist? Not really but I have been able to capture the beauty in turkeys, which most people don’t consider a beautiful bird.

13. Are you a full-time artist or do you have a day job? If so, what do you do, and where? I do have a day job. I have been an electrician in the Twin Cities for over 30 years.

14. What else do you do in your spare time? Do you have a family, and what are their names and ages? I have three adult step-children, Cliff, Erica and Lucas, and I am married. My wife Paula and I enjoy road trips through Minnesota and Wisconsin and up north to the family cabin in our spare time. We recently did the Lake Superior Circle Tour up through Ontario, where I was able to capture some incredible waterfalls.

15. What is your ﬁve-year plan as an artist? We are currently working on a plan for marketing my work over the next several months and years. I would be interested in working with the Historical Society,

A Canadian waterfall.

creating images of the White Bear Lake and surrounding communities to archive for future generations to enjoy. My dream is to become a commissioned photographer where I would be able to travel to capture Jim Delesha nature.
