VADNAIS HEIGHTS — U.S. Secretary of Labor Tom Perez and U.S. Senator Al Franken came to hear about the area's education and workforce training partnerships Aug. 30. Franken visited education and business leaders four years ago to hear about their plans for workforce training in the schools, particularly the career pathways program being developed in White Bear Area Schools. He was back for an update. Franken is known for promoting legislation that aims to close the “skills gap” — the discrepancy between the high demand for skilled workers and the lack of students being trained in career fields. “As I go all around Minnesota, we have a skills gap,” Franken said. “And that means that there are companies that have needs for workers of varying skills and they have a hard time finding them.” Franken said skills training benefits both the businesses and the employees-to-be. Skilled employees enable businesses to “compete in Minnesota and compete globally.” Training students in career skills also enables more people “looking for a path to the middle class” to find jobs that will get them there. “That gives the employee a great path to a good middle-class life,” Franken said. “That is what we really want to be able to do. The middle SEE WORKFORCE TRAINING, PAGE 9A

Charter school movement 25 years old, continues to grow Minnesota, birthplace of the charter, favors homegrown schools BY LOUISE ERNEWEIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It's the silver anniversary of the charter school and in Minnesota — the birthplace of the charter school movement — supporters say the commitment to students and choice has never been stronger. In the northeast Metro alone, there are charter schools specializing in science and agriculture, language immersion, technology, Montessori and more. Level Up Academy in White Bear Lake celebrates its first birthday this fall, joining other longtime area charters like New Heights School in Stillwater (the third-longest opera-

tional charter school in the United States, since 1993) and the Academy for Sciences and Agriculture (AFSA) in Vadnais Heights, which has been open for 15 years. Two new charters — North Metro Flex in North St. Paul and TRUTH Preparatory Academy in Oakdale — are preparing to welcome their inaugural students this September. “There’s a bumper sticker out there that says, ‘One size doesn’t fit all’ regarding charter schools,” said Becky Meyer, executive director of AFSA. “I think that's really relevant. “There are students who need certain

Professional princess holds first community event BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Cassandra Ridge of White Bear Township will put on her first community event as a professional princess at the Shoreview Community Center Sept. 18. Ridge started a professional princess business, Twin Cities Party Princess, in January. She appears as a princess at private events such as birthday parties, to sing, tell a story, give a dance lesson, play games and take pictures. Her first “Enchanted Ball,” open to the community, will feature eight princesses and a prince and snowman. Attendees will have the chance to dance with princesses to DJ music, play games, join a singalong, make a crown and take photos. Ridge employs several other actresses and actors. Ridge decided to start a business after she realized how much fun she had when she volunteered as a princess at events such as an autism walk and Como Zoo's annual fundraiser, ZooBoo. Two years ago, she saw volunteer actress princesses at ZooBoo and decided to get involved herself the following year. “It all started with volunteering,” Ridge said. “I started last fall doing princess volunteer events for different causes. I fell in love with interacting with the kids and seeing their faces light up. So, I just decided to start doing it more in my life.” Ridge remembers loving everything princess growing up and has been sur-

rounded by it all over again as a mom to two girls. “I have always loved all the fairy tale and princess things,” she said. “I am a stay-at-home mom to two girls. Princesses and fairy tales are a huge part of my life already.” Ridge has picked up a variety of gigs as a professional princess, including doing promotional work for preschools and events at the Melting Pot restaurant in Minneapolis. Ridge has also been a princess at several balls and decided to put on one herself at the Shoreview Community Center, a central location.

“It is a very nice community center; I take my children there a lot,” Ridge said. The event will be held in a ballroom that Ridge said was “reasonably priced and pretty.” Princesses will be the Ice Queen, Ice Princess, Beauty Princess, Mermaid Princess, Classic Princess, Pixie Fairy, Frog Princess and Snow Princess. The princesses may remind attendees of Disney princesses. “We are not affiliated with Disney,” Ridge said. “We are actually based off of the public domain version of the famous storybook characters. We take our own

interpretations. They are different from the nationally known characters. They have their own story and their own name.” Ridge's costumes are mostly custom-made by seamstresses or tailors. Ridge has also partnered with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to host an official send-off to Disney World for a wish recipient at the “Enchanted Ball.” Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at eventbrite.com by searching “Enchanted Ball.” For more information, visit www.twincitiespartyprincess.com or call 651-900-2639.

Reduced energy by 20%

few years ago, Press Publications was part of a test group throughout our city on an energy efficiency program that resulted in a 20 percent reduction in energy usage. During this program we were a test group with Class 5 Energy. We were hoping to find more ways to reduce through continuing education of our staff and making sure we were maximizing our efforts. Most of the savings was accomplished by turning off computer equipment and printers each night, turning off lights, turning down the hot water heaters and programing thermostats. Although nothing was a golden goose, it all added up to savings. Over the years, we updated lighting and a new Publisher’s HVAC system. The kicker was using a Christmas light timer on the engine View block heaters for winter. 5 was successful in helping Carter Johnson usClass to reduce. The energy kit provided includes posters, DVDs, and informational cards to be placed near thermostats and light switches. The goal is to build awareness with staff and change habits. Some of the tips and tricks involved de-lamping areas by checking a room with a light meter and unplugging lights or leaving them off. Other tips were to unplug cords, as there is phantom energy drain from anything that is plugged in. Class 5 also suggested trying to have a no-energy potluck, done by serving foods that don’t require energy usage to make, like salads. This spring we continued our efforts by installing new LED lights in our sign out front and installing motion sensor lights in our bathrooms. Take a look at your energy bill and challenge yourself to reduce it this fall. Next Big Thing Our next goal is to understand our carbon footprint. Each week we coordinate more than 125 youth and adult carriers who deliver our products throughout our neighborhoods. We have vehicles that pick up the newspapers from our printing plant, and vehicles that deliver them to our carriers and to more than 300 newsstand locations. We also have a team of journalists, marketers and photographers who are out in the field each day. For years you’ve known about our substantial recycled fibers and soy-based inks. It’s now time to re-think the vehicle choices we use in the field. It’s clear our full-size, three-quarter ton vans with V-8 engines are not the best options. We hope to convert to electric vehicles that will help us improve our carbon footprint. Although it’s a lofty goal, we have a duty to continually strive to do better for our business, our community and our environment.

It’s a great time to be a Zephyr!

s I stand on the edge of the new school year, I am mindful and deeply appreciative of the incredible work that went into making it all possible. Outside of the school doors families are getting their students ready for another great year. Inside the school doors, staff are doing the same thing. For example, teachers have written and rewritten curriculum and plans. Movers & lesson They’re ready. The custodians Shakers have cleaned the schools until Mark Larson they’re spotless. They’re ready. The secretaries have been registering new students and getting the supplies, handbooks, and everything else necessary for the ﬁ rst day of school. They’re ready. Food service staff have planned delicious and nutritious menus. They’re ready. Thanks to all of this work, Mahtomedi schools are ready for another remarkable school year. Last year we focused on the words engage, challenge, and inspire. While we will continue that work this year, we will spend additional time and energy focusing through the lenses of Equity, the Growth Mindset, and

All of this work serves the purpose of focusing on our mission, which is to provide a learning community in which all students can learn, thrive, and succeed in a global society. Future Ready Skills. What does that mean? It means we will engage students, staff, and community in providing an equitable learning environment where we will meet every student where they are in their learning. Last year we completed a language arts curriculum review and will be implementing a balanced literacy approach in the elementary schools. This will address all areas of literacy beginning with phonemic awareness where students are just starting to recognize letters and sounds through comprehension and analysis of complex text. It means we will challenge students and staff to exhibit a growth mindset, in which they believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. We’ve already done a lot of work with the growth mindset and will be expanding those efforts and encouraging students and staff to

recognize that we’re still a work in progress and that we can get better each day. One thing that we’ve worked on is the power of “yet.” This is a key piece of the growth mindset in which a student will say, “I don’t know this yet.” Not, “I don’t know this.” It’s a small, but important distinction that shows the belief that the student can, and will, master the content. It means we will inspire creativity and innovation in teaching and learning. We’ve done a lot of work developing future ready skills for our students. These are skills such as creativity and imagination, turning ideas into action, embracing and adapting to change, and effective communication. With these skills in mind, our teachers will be doing more project-based learning during which students gain skills and knowledge by investigating or responding to a real world problem, question, or challenge. All of this work serves the purpose of focusing on our mission, which is to provide a learning community in which all students can learn, thrive, and succeed in a global society. Together, the entire Mahtomedi Public Schools community are ready for another great year. It’s a great time to be a Zephyr! Mark Larson PhD is superintendent of Mahtomedi Public Schools.

Back-to-school safely

s kids get back into the school routine, itâ€™s important to remind them, especially ďŹ rst-timers, about important bus and playground rules designed to keep them safe. On the Bus According to the National Highway TrafďŹ c Safety Administration, in Minnesota, school buses make at least 10,000 school bus trips daily. The good news is that children are eight times safer riding in a bus to school than any other vehicle. In fact, in 2015 there were 690 school bus crashes and one fatality. In that same year there were 74,772 vehicle crashes and 411 fatalities.* The truth is that more children are killed outside of the school bus than as occupants inside. Most of these deaths happen in the â€œdanger zoneâ€? or the area extending ten feet in all directions from the school bus in which serious student injuries and deaths occur. Students should always adhere to the following rules when waiting for, boarding or exiting the bus: s "E PATIENT STAND BACK FROM THE ROAD

and no running or rowdy behavior. s 7HILE ON THE BUS STAY SEATED LISTEN to the driver and use quiet voices. s 7HEN GETTING OFF A BUS LOOK TO BE sure no cars are passing on the shoulder. s "EFORE CROSSING the street, take ďŹ ve â€œgiant stepsâ€? out from the front of the bus, or until you can see the bus driverâ€™s face. s 7AIT FOR THE DRIVER to signal that itâ€™s safe to cross. s ,OOK LEFT RIGHT Movers and left when coming to edge of the bus Shakers the to make sure trafďŹ c is stopped. Keep Dr. Susie watching trafďŹ c when Hafferman crossing. On the Playground Kids love recess on THE PLAYGROUND "UT DID YOU KNOW IT IS also one of the most dangerous places for kids. More than 200,000 children are injured on playgrounds in the U.S. every year. Thatâ€™s one ER visit every 2 Â˝ minutes.

,OCALLY WE SEE ALL TYPES OF INJURIES but a common list of â€œtop offendersâ€? on the playground including monkey bars, swings, climbers, slides, and roller shoes on and off the playground. Nearly 70 percent of playground injuries are related to children falling to the ground â€“children should be mindful when playing on surfaces that are concrete, asphalt, blacktop or packed dirt. Doctors at The Urgency Room see a variety of playground and school related injuries beginning as soon as school starts and continuing throughOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR 7E SEE NUMEROUS cases of broken bones, sprains and strains, fractures, concussions and more as the summer comes to a close and children start the transition back to school. The overall excitement of children getting back to school often leads to these type of accidents and injuries. As a parent, be sure to talk to your child about playground safety. Here are a few reminders and methods of injury prevention to discuss: s 2EMIND YOUR CHILD OF BASIC PLAY-

ground rules, such as one person on the slide at a time, and no running in front of moving swings and teeter-totters. s -AKE SURE CHILDREN KNOW TO SLOW down before getting off a swing and never walk near someone who is swinging. s $ON T ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY ON WET equipment. s 0ARENTS DON T GO DOWN THE SLIDE with your children. Commonly a childâ€™s tibia is fractured when his or her leg is pinned between the adult and the slide. s 2EMOVE ANY NECKLACES AND JEWELRY on children that may catch on playground equipment and cause injury. s 2EMOVE DRAWSTRINGS AND HOODS from clothing that could catch on equipment. Children should wear proper footwear, and not be barefooted. Dr. Susie Hafferman is an ER physician and assistant medical director of The Urgency Room. *Source: https://dps.mn.gov/ divisions/ots/reports-statistics/ Documents/2015%20Crash%20Facts.pdf

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A Medicine Chest thank you All of us at the Medicine Chest wish to thank all of you who have and continue to support us during this difficult time. Richard Sundt was many things to a lot of people in our community and he will be missed. Challenging times often bring out the best in people and the staff have all been touched by our community's response to his passing. Your generosity, kind words, and well wishes go a long way towards healing his loss. It is comforting to know, with all of the crazy things happening in our world, that here in White Bear we have fantastic people who truly care about one another and act upon that care. This is truly a very special place to live and work. Jim Polucha, pharmacist Medicine Chest Pharmacy

Enjoyed golf column I am a 75-year-old golfer who has had the pleasure to read Betsy Larey's insightful and practical advice on the game of golf. While I have been unable to play this year due to some leg issues, I hope to hit the links again in the future. For over 60 years, I have read countless books and magazines on our delightful but so devious game. Every week when the White Bear Press arrives, I read her article and tell my wife how very educational and pragmatic are her instructions and commentary. I think I have learned more from Betsy than from Hogan, Nicklaus, Tiger et al. Thanks for all the kernels of wisdom and wonderful advice. Paul Petronack White Bear Lake

Good Samaritans My wife and I are extremely grateful to the good Samaritans who turned in our carryall bag to the White Bear Lake Police the evening of Aug. 30. The bag contained numerous personal items and my wallet. We are fairly certain the two ladies sitting (rocking) next to us on the boardwalk near the VFW turned it in. You're wonderful people, and deserving of many blessings in the future. From two appreciative and relieved folks. Kathy and Mike Cherrier White Bear Lake

Time for a change Once again itâ€™s time for the fun-fi lled election season. OK thatâ€™s a bit much. But like death and taxes it just seems to be something we all face. Having to pick people that will spend the taxpayersâ€™ money wisely is serious business and this year is no different. My family and I have been in the city of Grant for 50 years. It was a great place to grow up and raise my family. It still is. And it needs to be protected from people and entities that may harm what we all have worked very hard to keep: a rural and peaceful place to get away from it all. Yet close enough to commute to the Twin Cities for a ball game or work. Why would we change that? I got into politics as many people do by chance. Something changed in Grant that spurred me to â€œdo something about it.â€? Armed with zero knowledge or experience, I naturally did what anyone else in my position would do. I ran for mayor and won by seven votes. After this landslide of support, Iâ€™ve been doing it pretty much ever since. Iâ€™ve won and lost some battles. There have been friends made and friends lost. Through it all my mission has been and is to keep Grant what it is. Grant. Itâ€™s not any more complicated than that. After a long time as mayor, my wife and I decided that I should stay involved with the city but run for City Council instead. We have two new grandchildren to spoil and other things that weâ€™d like a little more time to do. As a council member I would be very involved with running the city but would not need to run the meetings, which does take some prep work. So thatâ€™s really the big difference for me. For everyone who has supported me for mayor, I thank you. I wanted to let you all know why this change happened. Tom Carr Grant

Minnesota sees significant drop in obesity rate The stateâ€™s adult obesity rate saw a statistically significant drop between 2014 and 2015, from 28 percent in 2014 to 26 percent in 2015, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Minnesota was the only state in the region, including North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Iowa, to keep its obesity rates fi rmly below 30 percent. According to data released Sept. 1 by CDC, neighboring statesâ€™ rates ranged from 31 to 32 percent. CDC released 2015 state- and territory-specific data on adult obesity prevalence using self-reported information from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. All states had more than one in five adults (20 percent) with obesity. â€œMinnesotaâ€™s obesity rate is markedly lower than our surrounding states and we were still

able to achieve a greater decrease in 2015 than our neighboring states,â€? said Minnesota Commissioner of Health Dr. Ed Ehlinger. â€œAchieving healthy weight for all Minnesotans is one of the key objectives for our Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) and its community and private sector partners. By working together weâ€™ve been able to increase opportunities for healthy eating and physical activity for all Minnesotans in every corner of the state.â€? Obesity rates can have a major impact on health care costs for related chronic diseases like diabetes. In 2008, Minnesota policymakers responded to skyrocketing health care costs driven in part by rising obesity rates, by enacting SHIP, as part of Minnesotaâ€™s bipartisan health care reform legislation. Minnesota Department of Health Press release

NAMES IN THE NEWS The Cherokee Nation honored Daniel Ray Tanner, 67, of White Bear Lake, with its Medal of Patriotism Aug. 31. Tanner was a Sergeant Major in the U.S. Army who served in Vietnam after he was drafted in 1968. He retired from the Army in 1991 after 23 years of service. He was honored with two brothers, both of whom served in the military and live in Oklahoma. Each month, the Cherokee Nation recognizes citizens who served in the Armed Forces as a way to demonstrate the tribeâ€™s high regard for veterans. Anddi Schwartz, of Let Them Eat Cake Minnesota, was chosen for the 2016 Ten Outstanding Young Minnesotans (TOYM) award.

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

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • The cabbie waited while the passenger ran inside his Hiawatha Avenue address to get the $35 he owed for the ride home the afternoon of Aug. 25, but the next time the cabbie saw him, he was riding away on a bike. The 29-year-old local man was mailed a citation for theft. • A driver reported another “weaving and puking” the afternoon of Aug. 27 at County Road E and Labore Road. Deputies caught up to the 26-year-old Minneapolis man who blew a 0.28 percent BAC and who was quickly on his way to the Ramsey County Jail. • A vehicle was pulled over the afternoon of Aug. 30 on Pondview Court for license plate tabs not matching the description of the 2001 Lincoln Town Car he was driving. The driver, a 62-year-old Eden Prairie man, was charged with driving with a canceled license “inimical to public safety” as well as “tab tax evasion.” He signed a form releasing his white-and-black shiatsu dog that was in the back seat to the custody of the St. Paul Humane Society. Both the dog and the driver were impounded. • A 35-year-old boyfriend, now the ex-boyfriend from Hermantown, who used his girlfriend’s debit card 14 times between Aug. 23-28, each time replacing the card in the 34-year-old’s purse as they shopped, is being investigated for fraud. • The owner of three unlicensed barking dogs, two Brittany spaniels and a “very old” Shetland Sheep dog on Stockdale Road was told Aug. 29 about the city limit of two dogs per household. The dog owner was told to at least get the younger canines’ licensed. • A man draped over the wheel of a

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS vehicle at Taco Bell in the 3900 block of Rice Street in the wee hours of Aug. 31 was awakened but said he was “too drunk to step out.” The 26-year-old Little Canada man, whose license was already revoked, was jailed on a third-degree blood-alcohol test refusal charge.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A 55-year-old man in the 5400 block of Jefferson Court reported his vehicle "egged and key’d" overnight Aug. 26. The victim said he has “a suspect in mind.” • When a deputy noticed a vehicle that frequents a “known disorderly (problem) house” the evening of Aug. 27 in the area of Stillwater and Dillon streets, he pulled it over. The driver, a 19-year-old St. Paul woman, was wanted on an Anoka County misdemeanor warrant for her arrest for fourth-degree damage to property. Her front-seat passenger, a 32-yearold male from White Bear Lake, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, that later tested positive for heroin. In the back seat was a 7-year-old girl who was turned over to her brother who lives in the area. • A leafblower, a weed whip and a gas can, valued at a total of $460, went missing the morning of Aug. 28 from an unlocked trailer in the 2600 block of Arbor Drive. The leafblower was pawned the same day just a few blocks away by a suspect currently on probation. An investigation continues. • The male driver topped off his tank with petrol priced at $10.11 in the early morning hours of Aug. 31 at a station in the 5900 block of Hwy. 61 and was off in a cloud of monoxide. The plates came back to a 2000 GMC Envoy. The suspect vehicle was brown and tan, according to video that captured the scene.

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

Loon Chronicles XII Birchwood resident Ellen Maas said the eagle shots were a “once-in-a-lifetime moment.” “I could hardly believe what was unfolding in my frame,” the photographer wrote via email. She hasn’t seen the loon chick’s parents in almost four weeks and suspects they have moved on to a safer watering hole away from eagles. There are a few “old warriors” still on the lake with the chick, Maas noted, including the adoptive grandparents and two yearlings. Last year, it was not unusual to spot at least 15 loons on any given day. The older loon pair, with visible BP oil spill residue, all but adopted the chick. Maas recognizes them from past summers spent on White Bear Lake. “Now that the chick can fly, it is getting harder to find but it is still very much with us. I think she knows our boat.” The trips are becoming more suspenseful added Maas, due to the presence of the eagles.

CHARTER SCHOOLS: ‘Laboratories of innovation in public education’ FROM PAGE 1A

kinds of environments, who may need more help or less help, or more handson projects or more scholastic environments, or whatever flavor a charter school may offer. I think it's cool that in Minnesota — and we are ahead of the game — a parent can consider many choices." This fall, more than 165 charter schools are expected to open their doors to students in Minnesota. It's a far cry from 1991 when just eight such schools were authorized under the original charter school legislation. Eugene Piccolo, executive director of the Minnesota Association of Charter Schools (MNACS), says he anticipates the state will continue to see "slow, steady growth" over the next 25 years. It's an approach to growth that has been deliberate and stands in contrast to some states that followed Minnesota's lead in implementing charter school legislation. "In Minnesota, our (charter) schools are smaller than the national average," said Piccolo. "Our average charter school is just over 300 kids; we're smaller than some of the massive mega schools that are around the country. Most of ours are homegrown, not like ones run by (education) management companies." Homegrown means passionate parents, teachers and community members, who come together to make up the school board. It also means a depth of commitment to the school — demonstrated the first week of August at Level Up Academy by a number of parents, board members and teachers who came in for a cleaning week to spruce up the building for the 90-plus students expected to start this fall. Carol McFarlane, chair of the Level Up Academy board, recalls those homegrown, early days very well. "A lot of people wanted this to happen," she said. "It started around a dining table. I had grandchildren, Christine (Morrison, a parent member of the board) had children and other people had worked in this environment where personalized learning was embraced. We wanted others to have that opportunity.” Thomas Kearney, executive director of New Heights School in Stillwater, attests to the charter school's role in meeting the needs of underserved populations. He says that the proportion of students receiving free or reduced lunches at New Heights has at times been as high as 60 percent, while it's typically around 10 percent for the

traditional Stillwater school district, in which New Heights School is located. Similarly, New Heights has about four times the number of students who meet the criteria for having a learning disability. At a time when some traditional school districts are seeking to consolidate facilities to form larger schools, Kearney echoes the sentiments of McFarlane at Level Up Academy, Meyer at AFSA and Piccolo at the Minnesota Association of Charter Schools regarding the significance of the smaller size of the typical Minnesota charter school. "It's not so much charter designation as the size of the school," said Kearney. "We listen (to the students' needs) and we respond. It's not that larger school districts don't want to — it's that they can't." At AFSA, where there are 300 students in the high school program and 100 in the middle school, Meyer agrees. "We know everyone's names," she said. "We can talk to staff members on a regular basis. There are no strangers in the building. We get to form a real family community." And it's noticed by the students. "It's pretty easy to get to know people," said Nick Morrison, 12, who started at Level Up Academy last year. "I pretty

much know everyone in the school." He particularly enjoys the focus on technology at Level Up and feels he is now doing more advanced work. Pulling out a laptop in the resource room, Nick demonstrated Prodigy, a curriculum-aligned math game for grades 1-8 available free online to students, teachers and parents. It's one of the programs used to teach and practice new concepts in the school and, according to Nick, "it's a tiny bit like one of my favorite games, which is Pokémon." By their nature, charters tend to attract families due to the smaller size, those who are looking for the alternative curriculum focus or those who feel they've been failed by a traditional school district. Andrea and Dean Blosberg's first encounter with AFSA came through their eldest daughter, who had always been outdoorsy. "We loved the small town-type setting of charter schools, where everyone knows each other," said Andrea Blosberg, who says all three children who attended AFSA made the most of the activities available there. "Each of them found their niche and what they wanted to do and how they could do it.” Some charters choose to partner with traditional school districts, other

charters or cooperatives to broaden their range of offerings to individual students. For example, at Level Up Academy, functions such as financial reporting and special education are provided through a third-party vendor shared with other schools. Similarly, AFSA has teamed up with White Bear Lake, Mounds View and Roseville school districts to provide competitive team sports opportunities for students from those home districts. The charter school movement, in its 25-year history, has had its share of criticism. Detractors nationally have tended to focus more on the issues raised by the involvement of private education management organizations (EMOs) not found in Minnesota's homegrown charter schools. Such criticisms include: charter schools are not really public schools; they get more money than traditional public schools; there's a lack of accountability to the public and less transparency around the use of funds; charter school teachers are less qualified than traditional public school teachers; charter schools are not the "incubators of innovation" intended and more. In response to those criticisms and more, in 2014 the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools published a 13page document, "Separating Fact and Fiction: What You Need to Know About Charter Schools," in which it claimed to debunk 21 so-called myths about charter schools. In Minnesota, the birthplace of the charter school, some of that criticism is irrelevant, points out Piccolo, MNACS executive director. "Sometimes people will say charter schools are creaming the top (students)," he explained. "Not in Minnesota. We are identifying the students who are part of the achievement gap. “The other unique thing in Minnesota is the concept of chartering has been supported by Democrats and Republicans. In some states, it has been a partisan issue." In other areas, work appears to be afoot to address some of the questions raised nationally. For example, MNACS is developing an awards program to recognize and reward innovation. "Charters were the laboratories of innovation in public education," said Piccolo. "This year, on the 25th anniversary, we have created an awards program to recognize the innovations that people have done." With 25 years under its belt, the charter school movement in Minnesota is looking ahead to another 25 and a golden celebration in 2041.

WORKFORCE TRAINING: School district developing ‘career pathways’ Workforce development in White Bear Lake

class has been hollowed out and is under assault.” Areas where Franken sees opportunity for jobs in Minnesota are advanced manufacturing, IT, health care, building trades and transportation. Franken and a senator from California recently put forward a Community College to Career Fund Act, which was assigned to a congressional committee last fall. The bill would address the skills gap by creating a competitive grant program to fund partnerships between businesses and community colleges. Franken supported the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) signed in 2014, which aims to strengthen and reform workforce investment. The act was put forth by the U.S. Department of Labor. The act aims to make better-paying jobs available to more people. “The whole workforce blueprint is for people who are on the outside looking in,” Perez said. “We need to make sure that every person in every zip code has that opportunity,” he said. “Zip code should never determine destiny … Every person is gifted and talented.” The new idea behind workforce development is to train students for the jobs that employers are hiring for. “The old paradigm of workforce development is what I used to call, ‘train and pray,’” Perez said. “You train widget-makers and you pray someone is hiring.” Today, Perez and other government leaders are pushing for educational institutions to partner with businesses to create a workforce that is “demand-driven by what employers need” — what Perez calls “train and place.” Minnesota has a low unemployment rate, 3.8 percent. White Bear Lake Area Schools is developing career pathways programs for high-schoolers in construction, manufacturing, IT and health care. That's why Perez and Franken were here to visit.

White Bear Lake High School Principal Tim Wald reported that the school has expanded its college readiness focus from a four-year college path to including “career pathways.” The district is developing four “career pathways” programs. It has already implemented its construction and manufacturing pathway programs at the high school and Area Learning Center. This year an IT pathways program will begin; students will receive credit through partnership with Century College. Thirty students have signed up for the program. A health care pathway is planned for the future. “Within all of our pathways, our goal is that students have an opportunity to earn a credential,” Wald said. The manufacturing pathways program is working towards an industry-recognized certification. Educator Delroy Nyren, who oversees the manufacturing pathway, visits local businesses to see what career opportunities are out there to develop the program. Four courses will be held in the manufacturing pathways program this year. It started with two last year. One White Bear Lake High School student, Dexter Pinn, who took the manufacturing and engineering class last year, was at the meeting to report to Franken and Perez on his personal experience. He is looking forward to a precision engineering class this year. “It helps you see what you really want to do in life,” said Pinn. Du Fresne Manufacturing was one of the first local businesses to develop a partnership with White Bear Schools eight years ago. “Our job in the last couple of years has been to make students, parents and teachers aware that there is a great career in manufacturing,” said Jim Stephan, vice president of sales and marketing for the company. Century College has also been developing its trades education. It is offering a new advanced digital manufacturing

degree and is creating certificates in welding and manufacturing though a Department of Labor grant, reported Patrick Opatz, Century’s president. It also recently renovated its digital fabrication lab. The college has about a dozen partnerships with area businesses in planning its programs. The Mahtomedi School District worked with Century College to develop its MIT-based fabrication lab, the first high school in the nation to do so, reported Superintendent Mark Larson. The district also has a K-12 engineering program focused on college-ready skills. United Way has provided financial support for local workforce development.

trades back in their proper place as a middle-class career path. They want to erase the past stigma associated with some trades. “Manufacturing is not dark, dirty and dangerous; it is very high tech,” Franken said, noting that he doesn't want there to be a lack of workers for trades at the same time there are people wishing for a skilled career. “We need to make sure we don't lose anybody, and [that] everybody has access to the kind of education that makes them a valuable employee for all the great companies we have in Minnesota, so we can compete with other states and also globally,” he said. The event was held at MGC (Medical Graphics Corporation) Diagnostics in Vadnais Heights and was hosted by the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce.

Old Garceau’s corner getting a makeover BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — The city has received $920,000 in grants to clean up the Garceau's Hardware corner and put in senior housing. The city has asked for proposals from senior housing developers that are interested in the site. The grant money will be reimbursed to the senior housing developer whose proposal is selected by the City Council, reported City Administrator Kevin Watson. “We have a couple of interested [developers],” Watson said. The city is also trying to find a restaurant that would be interested in locating on the property as well, but has not received a lot of interest yet.

SARA MARIE MOORE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

The old site of Garceau’s Hardware, Vadnais Heights Auto Service and That’s Amore Deli will be torn down and a senior housing development, and possibly a restaurant, are planned to be built on the property.

“It is a tough site for commercial,” Watson said. “There is not a lot of traffic at that intersection ... We have received feedback from restaurateurs that it just does not have the daily traffic it needs to.” But the City Council has requested the idea be thoroughly looked into. The $920,000 in grants came from three different sources: $700,000 from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, $120,000 from a Ramsey County environmental cleanup grant, and $100,000 from a Metropolitan Council's Livable Communities grant. Watson said Ramsey County was interested in assisting Vadnais Heights in its cleanup project. “They are excited to help out a suburban project,” he said. “There is usually not as much cleanup in the suburbs.” District 1 Ramsey County Commissioner Blake Huffman, who represents Vadnais Heights, took the lead on helping Vadnais Heights obtain the approval of the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners for the grant. The grant comes from the county's Environmental Response Fund (ERF). The fund is used for projects like this, to “clean up a polluted piece of property,” Huffman said. “The way we built 30 to 50 years ago is not the environmental focus we have today.” The site's close location to Vadnais Lake makes the project all the more important, Huffman noted. The grant will also create jobs, Huffman said. “There will be construction jobs created,” he said. “When the project is done, there will be permanent jobs.” Need for environmental cleanup and job creation are two elements which are evaluated to determine whether an ERF grant application is approved. “We really view this ERF grant as a really cool development tool for local businesses,” Huffman said. “We can clean up land and promote private sector businesses.” Huffman said the Board of Commissioners tries to obtain a “fairly equal split” over time between ERF grants approved in the suburbs and St. Paul.

“Right now, in the last handful of years, St. Paul was pretty hot. Now there are a lot in suburban Ramsey County. This piece of land is a really good example,” Huffman said. “I know the county is really excited about the future of this development.” Sandy Rummel, Metropolitan Council member from District 11, which includes Vadnais Heights, said she was pleased to vote to approve the Livable Communities grant for the corner. There were 17 applications for the grant and Vadnais Heights was one of seven approved. Rummel cited access to jobs, an aging community and environmental concerns as reasons she approved the grant. “We have a community that is aging and this project is a project that gives them an opportunity to stay in a community they know and care about,” Rummel said. “This region, especially Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake, have done a good job in thinking ahead in the aging of our population and making possible alternative options. I am pleased the communities are thinking and planning that way. I am glad the Met Council has the resources to help them make it easier.” Rummel is also glad the old site will be cleaned up. “An opportunity, in my opinion, to clean up any contaminated site is something I would vote for,” she said. The funds, owned by the city, will be reimbursed to a senior housing developer by the city when they complete specific cleanup tasks. Watson reported that work on the site will likely begin next spring or summer. “My hope is we could get [a developer] selected here this fall,” he said. The site formerly housed three businesses: Garceau's Hardware, Vadnais Heights Auto Service and That's Amore Deli. The site has been vacant for three years since Garceau's Hardware closed in March 2013 after 52 years of service. A Garceau family member had operated a business on the spot for 80 years; a grocery store and butcher shop opened on the site in 1932.

Science teacher wins presidential award, brings education down to earth BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — O.H. Anderson science teacher Frances Stang gets students to use their brains by studying skulls. For her teaching innovation, Stang received the highest recognition a science or math teacher can receive — the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. Up to 108 teachers in the U.S. receive the award signed by the president each year. The award also includes a trip to Washington, D.C. and $10,000 from the National Science Foundation. Stang has taught at O.H. Anderson in the Mahtomedi School District for 26 years and has been an educator for 30 years. She is currently the fifth-grade lead science teacher. She has been instrumental in developing the science curriculum for the school. “Throughout the curriculum, I have tried to instill in the students that they are scientists so that they see themselves as a scientist and how they connect with the scientific and natural world,” she said. Stang tries to make science seem as down-to-earth as possible for her students. For example, in her unit on how organisms adapt to the natural world, instead of just showing pictures of herbivores, omnivores and carnivores, she brings in real and model skulls so students can see firsthand how organisms' eating behavior and teeth and mouths match up. “I check out about 45 skulls from the Science House at the Science Museum of Minnesota and I have a series of labs,” Stang said. Skulls range from giraffes to beavers, and wildebeests to moose. After students learn how to identify which animals may be herbivores, omnivores or carnivores by using

skulls of animals still in existence today, Stang takes them deeper by using prehistoric skulls on “mystery skull day.” “They are paleontologists and they have to identify the skull,” she said. Stang didn't start out her career as strictly a science teacher, but it was a part of education that always interested her. Since the Mahtomedi district has a partial middle school model for students in fifth grade where they have different teachers for different subjects, Stang was able to cultivate her love for science education at the elementary level. “Being in this district and the model we use really helped me to develop a more rigorous and interesting curriculum,” Stang said. “I am blessed to be in such a supportive community such as Mahtomedi: the parents, the students, the staff, the administrators. It's like being in heaven, teaching heaven.” Stang was nominated for the award by the district. Stang is the fourth teacher from Mahtomedi to receive the award. One award for science and one for math is given per state every year; the elementary level and high school level alternate every two years. Stang's award is for 2014 but was announced in August this year. “It is really a humbling experience to be recognized because I love doing my job,” Stang said. “I love bringing joy to my students and science just fosters curiosity and exploration.” Stang has been selected eight times as an honored teacher at the Academic Excellence Awards for the top graduating seniors in the district. She is also chair of the O.H. Anderson Nature Trail Committee, which oversees the restoration of the school prairie, promotes trail use and maintenance, and organizes a schoolwide Nature Trail Day. Stang has a bache-

LOOKING BACK Week of Sept. 4 – Sept. 10, 2016 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.

1916 A beautifully appointed wedding took place on Saturday, September 2nd, when Miss Ruth Lapham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Lapham, of White Bear Lake, became the bride of George Melville Tibbs, of St. Paul. The ceremony was performed on the lawn by Reverend Doctor Robinson before an improvised altar of vines and flowers while Japanese lanterns cast a subdued light upon the bridal party and the guest. It was a rainbow wedding. The bride’s gown was white silk and lace. She wore her veil in a cap effect and carried a shower bouquet of white roses and sweet peas.

1941 Shirts beautifully finished for only 5 cents each with the new economy service 30 lbs (25 pounds 5 lbs free) only $1.89 – Capitol Laundry – branch station at Willis Library – Phone 644 – 312 Banning Avenue…Expert watch repairing – Roy Huss – Jeweler – 512 Third Street – Whitaker Building – phone 345.

1966 Sherriff Kermit Hedman said that if the voters return him to a third term in office he will carry on the program of the last eight years that has modernized and expanded County Law enforcements facilities at little, if any, cost to

the taxpayers.

1991 Mr. and Mrs. George Rivard of White Bear Lake, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at a buffet reception Sunday, August 25th, at the Gladstone House in St. Paul. George Rivard was self-employed, owning and operating Ace Radio and TV for 26 years in downtown White Bear Lake. Jeanette Rivard was employed with Univac for 36 years.

No luck of Irish as Bears fall 31-14 in opener BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Charlie Wachtler had the Bears’ longest gainer, a 38-yard pass from quarterback Tristin Dacus, during White Bear Lake’s first home football game of the season against Rosemount Thursday, Sept. 1.

In the Mood

White Bear Lake, trying to improve on last year’s 2-7 ledger, opened the football season with a 31-14 setback against the Rosemount Irish at home Thursday evening. The Bears struggled most of the game except for two long touchdown drives directed by Tristin Dacus, who took over with his team trailing 17-0 and hit 11 of 23 passes for 171 yards. The touchdowns came on runs by Jessiah Majest (11 yards) in the third quarter, and James Woods (two yards) with a half-minute left in the game. The Bears actually outgained the Irish (who are coming off a 7-2 season) by 299 yards to 281 but suffered three turnovers, including two interceptions leading to

14 points, and got no turnovers from the visitors. Alex Schimmel made a diving pickoff of a Daniel Lyons pass at the Bears' 10 to set up a TD and Sullivan Lanoue snagged a Dacus pass and returned it 29 yards to make the score 31-7 in the fourth. Charlie Wachtler had the Bears’ longest gainer, a 38-yard pass from Dacus. Majest rushed 11 times for 50 yards. Lyons completed 10 of 14 for 48 yards. Rosemount's Connor Klieber darted for 94 yards in eight carries with touchdown jaunts of 10 and 34 yards. The Irish had a 10-0 halftime lead on Kenny Watkins’ 20yard field goal and Schimmel’s two-yard run. The Bears will play at Forest Lake next Friday.

Zephyr netters drop two Beneﬁt for Kenny Winger close matches

The Mahtomedi girls tennis team was edged by St. Cloud Tech 4-3 on Wednesday, Aug. 31 on their home court. Earlier in the day, they were defeated by the same match score by Minnetonka. “Both losses were extremely close and determined by just a few points,” said Kathy Alex, the new Zephyr coach. “The

girls fought hard and gave 110-percent.” Next up for the team is a home match at 3:30 p.m. Thursday versus South St. Paul. Saturday they are in a triangular match at 9 a.m. at Elk River. Both teams also face Duluth East.

Submitted

Mahtomedi has six new varsity coaches in Pulaski before moving to Minnesota. He is also coach of the robotics team and was an assistant coach in softball at MHS. Bill Mauricio will coach girls hockey after a 12-year tenure as assistant at Irondale, where he was Section 5AA assistant coach of the year three times. He was also girls soccer coach there. Mauricio, who works in student services at Irondale, played hockey at Totino-Grace before an injury ended his career. The Lakewood College graduate started coaching youth hockey at age 19. He succeeds Craig Mickelson, who stepped down after last season. Dominic Issac will coach boys soccer, succeeding Tony England, who resigned. Isaac coached boys at St. Paul Johnson, his alma mater, for the past five years, and before that, seven years as an assistant girls coach at Stillwater, where he still works, handling student affairs. He is a year-round coach with Minneapolis United, heading two youth teams. MHS is still looking for Nordic Ski and softball coaches to replace Ray Harris and Angela Vedders, who both stepped down, Kirsch said. Bruce Strand

Fred Lenhart when he was Northwest Lightheavy and Heavyweight Champion in Tacoma, Washington, circa 1929. BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

A southpaw born July 31, 1907 in what was to be Czecholslovakia, who ended up owning a saloon in White Bear Lake, is being inducted into the Minnesota Boxing Hall of Fame. Announced last week, the Hall of Fame class of 2016 will be recognized Oct. 14 at Mystic Lake Casino, some posthumously, including Fred Lenhart, who was named to the Old Timer category. Boxing as a light heavyweight, Lenhart compiled a 101-22-13 record during his glory days of boxing eight decades ago. He had 32 knockouts. Two of those victories were by decision over fellow Hall of Fame inductee Jack Gibbons. Although he was born in what is now the Czech Republic, Lenhart's hometown is listed as Elk, Washington. It was there he became a professional boxer at age 18. According to a website called Box Rec, he was a logger by trade, and started his boxing career in 1926. He won his first five bouts by knockout. His career spanned from 1926 to 1937. At 5 foot 9 inches, he was Minnesota heavyweight champion boxer in 1937 and a contender for the light heavyweight boxing crown. Lenhart came to St. Paul in 1936 to fight Gibbons. He apparently liked the area so much that he sent for his wife and children and moved to White Bear Lake, where he ran a tavern for the next 35 years. According to the book "Looking Back at White Bear Lake," by Cynthia Vadnais, Lenhart formed a partnership with a beer distributor named Earl McGill who had turned an old blacksmith shop and storehouse into a bar and tavern called The Shingle Shanty on Fourth Street. An article in the White Bear Press read: "Mr. McGill has equipped it with old-time relics, old-time tables and other quaint articles and it instantly became popular with scores of his St. Paul and White Bear friends who enjoy cold lunches, pretzels and 3.2 beer." After Lenhart partnered with McGill, the bar became known as Lenhart and McGill's. In late 1937, it became Lenhart's Shingle Shanty once more when McGill left to open a gas station. By 1945, it was the Fred Lenhart Tavern and eventually just Lenhart's Bar. The retired boxer sold the business to W. Ratler and Julius Matlinsky of St. Paul in 1952 but by 1954, it was once again Lenhart's Bar. The tavern sold for good in 1965 to Fred and Helen Thiede. Lenhart later moved back to Washington in 1971, where he lived out the remainder of his life. He died April 1, 1987 at the age of 79. The Ring magazine ranked him No. 7 in 1936, his best showing in the Light Heavyweight Class.

Metrics used were Reading and Math Proficiency and Growth, College Readiness, Student Engagement, and Instructional Climate. The complete presentation is on the district website. 3) Review of Plan for Comprehensive Facility Planning - Wayne Kazmierczak, Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations, presented a possible facilities planning process for the 2016-2017 school year. The tentative plan will be to conduct a demographic study of the District to create baseline data such as long-range population and enrollment projections that can be used in future planning. Also, to conduct an internal review of District facilities beginning with early childhood facilities, then secondary facilities, and elementary facilities. It is proposed that the facilities review would involve an employee of the DLR Group who would conduct meetings at each site. The complete presentation is on the district website. Recording Work Study Sessions - Options for recording work study sessions were presented and discussed. They are audio only, audio plus slides, and three video options. Mark Garrison, Director of Technology and Innovation, and Marisa Vette, Director of Communications and Community Relations, will provide information on further options.

LETTER FROM THE PARK BOARD: More than 100 years ago, White Bear Township was viewed as an “escape” from city life for a weekend; a beautiful retreat an hour away from the hustle and bustle of a busy work week in the city. That beauty is still vibrant today, celebrated and maintained by the 11,000 residents who live in the four distinct properties that make up the Township. A large part of that beauty in the Township is within its 26 parks and trail system, a collection that is reviewed on a monthly basis by the seven volunteers on the Township’s Park Board, who seek to ensure their preservation. “The Township is a wonderful place to live. It has the appeal, in continuity with White Bear Lake, of being a small town even though we’re in the metro,” said Chuck Archer, Park Board Chairman, who has been on

the board since 2002. “Our focus is to maintain and preserve our parks and their amenities, and our trails. More recently, after naming Polar Lakes Park about 10 years ago, we wanted to do something for the community that brings us together for a day to celebrate White Bear Township.” In 1999, White Bear Township opened up its largest park, Community Park, which was later renamed Polar Lakes Park. Just east of I-35E and south of the Tamarack Nature Preserve, Polar Lakes Park has quickly become the cornerstone jewel of White Bear Township’s parks system. “In 1998, advised by the Park Board, the Town Board purchased the property now known as Polar Lakes Park,” said Pete Nasvik, a 19-year veteran of the Park Board. “It’s the largest park in the Township, and perfectly located for a variety of community activities including baseball, soccer, a playground, and space for a large Amphitheatre. It recently became the new home of the historic Town Hall, which is destined to provide historical information on the Township and serve as a multi-functional building for future use. “Because of the unique location of Polar Lakes Park near the Town Offices and away from residential homes, the athletic fields have lights, lots of parking and there are not any sound concerns regarding concerts, fireworks and programs in the Amphitheatre,” added Nasvik. “The vision ahead for Polar Lakes Park includes a large band shell, improved baseball fields with enclosed dugouts, concessions, bathrooms, and stadium seating as well as a unique and larger playground for kids. This is a truly beautiful park now and will become a real landmark in the Township as the park continues to be developed.” It’s the responsibility of the Park Board to advise the Town Board on matters of park acquisition and development. Generally, on an annual basis, one or two parks or trails are budgeted for improvements including trail or playground equipment upgrades. “Working with the neighbors of our parks, we’re doing some exciting things,” said Pat Lee, a Park Board member since 2001. “We hope to add to our park exercise equipment for outside

enjoyment and health.” Recently, the Park Board worked on upgrading Eagle Park and Longville Park, both of which have new playground equipment and refurbished tennis courts. “The Township is always looking for input from the immediate neighbors around parks that are being upgraded,” explained Erik Peterson, who has served on the Park Board for 12 years. “It’s an important step in the rehab of the parks to hold meetings with families interested in being part of the upgrade process. We meet with them and give them a chance to make important decisions on what equipment they feel the neighborhood would beneﬁt.” Aside from the responsibility of ensuring the Township’s parks and trails are maintained, the Park Board also works to promote those treasures. Annually, White Bear Township celebrates its heritage, beauty, and parks during White Bear Township Day in September, and the Park Board is responsible for planning and executing the event. “White Bear Township Day started on our 150th anniversary, and we are now celebrating our 9th year,” said Dawn Kennedy, who has volunteered on the Park Board for 12 years. “Township Day offers community performances, a silent auction, a local vendor fair, food, and music. A wonderful ﬁreworks display caps off a day of celebration for our community.” This year’s White Bear Township Day is Saturday, September 10th at Polar Lakes Park from 2pm to 8:30pm.

education and career path until now. A: I was born and raised in White Bear Lake and still live here. I have a general business administration degree from St. Thomas University. I spent years in banking, recruiting, sales and account management. About 10 years ago I started Rat Pack Entertainment. My full-time profession now is a combination of running [this business] and my part-time role as a children’s ministry director [at a large church]. Q: What prompted your switch this profesn, and why Rat Pack sion, sic? music? A:: I feel like God has given me me ability to some g and entertain sing ple, and I love people, o it. As long to do as I can remember I’ve been drawn to the music of the at crooners — great nk Sinatra, Frank an Dean rtin, Martin, Nat King e, Cole, dy Andy

Williams, etc. The music is timeless and can be enjoyed by people of every age.

Q: What’s your territory and what kinds of events do you book most often? A: I pretty much go wherever the customer wants me. Private and corporate events, wedding receptions, assisted living facilities and restaurants make up the majority of my business.

A: I love all things retro and I love to

keep the style and memories alive. The most challenging thing is getting the word out to an ever-expanding audience. Q: What are your biggest strengths as an entertainer?

Q: Do you have a family? What do you do you in your spare time? A: I am married to an awesome w woman. She along with our two wonderful kids are a huge blessing.
