Parker’s family sues NHL after judge rules head trauma issue can’t be class-action BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Alleging that players like Jeff Parker need not have suffered from avoidable brain damage, the family of the late White Bear Lake hockey player has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the National Hockey League (NHL). Scott Parker, Jeff’s brother, filed the suit late August in California Superior Court for Los Angeles County, in the capacity as trustee of his brother's estate, also naming Jeff’s 5-year-old daughter as a plaintiff.
“My brother Jeff signed up for the concussion lawsuit, and we feel obligated to follow up on his wish to do this,” said Scott Parker, a high school teacher and hockey coach in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. “We were instructed by the judge that this is the way to go about it. “It wasn’t an easy decision for the family, but we kept going back to knowing that Jeff wanted to help younger players in the NHL, to let them know what is coming.” Jeff Parker was among 150-plus former players in a lawsuit originally
filed in 2013 alleging that the NHL promoted violence and fighting to make the league more popular and profitable, while downplaying health risks associated with concussions. That was JJeff ff Parker P k intended to be a class-action case, but a federal judge in St. Paul, Susan Nelson, rejected the class-action status
July 13, on the grounds that it would present “significant case management difficulties.” As a consequence of that ruling, ex-players (or their families) had to choose whether to go it alone against the league. The Parkers elected to sue. The 83-page lawsuit acknowledged that former players knew they might get injured playing in the league, but did not sign up for avoidable brain damage. A key passage reads: "The NHL was aware of the evidence and SEE FAMILY SUES, PAGE 8A
Hoffman Corner convenience store awaits council approval BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
GEM LAKE — Three buildings and a shed will come down when the Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh Convenience Store goes up on Hoffman Corner. If it goes up. The deal is pending City Council approval now that the city of Vadnais Heights has relinquished a sliver of land, 0.07 acres, needed for the project. Hy-Vee would build on property owned by Don and Sheila Waldoch that consists of slightly more than 2 acres. That number appeared important to John Birkeland, who owns 80 percent of the land along Hoffman Road, the street Hy-Vee customers will use to access the store. Birkeland asked for clarification of the square footage at a public hearing Sept. 4 before the Planning Commission. A Hy-Vee representative confirmed the number was 2.027 acres, or 88,304 square feet. Birkeland is concerned that infrastructure required for the project will have a huge financial impact on his businesses, possibly costing up to $600,000 in assessments. The financial burden “will take us out,” said Birkeland's wife, Darlene. The family owns White Bear Floral, the Country Lounge, a car lot, several homes and the Cafe Cravings building on Hoffman Road. The 9 acres of land have been in Birkeland's family since 1932.

Rare Bible on public display for one day
SUBMITTED
Cerenity Senior Care is sharing a rare volume of the Saint John’s Bible during a open house Sept. 14.
A volume of the acclaimed Saint John's Bible will be available for viewing during a community open house at Cerenity Senior Care in White Bear Lake. The care center will share part of the Heritage Edition at its senior living campus from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14. Guests coming to view the Bible should use the main entrance and parking lot located at 1900 Webber St. The “Gospel & Acts” volume of the Heritage Edition is on loan to the facility from the Benedictine Health System, manager and part owner of Cerenity. The Saint John’s Bible is the first handwritten and illuminated Bible commissioned by a Benedictine monastery since the advent of the printing press more than 500 years ago. Saint John’s University in Collegeville commissioned world-renowned calligrapher Donald Jackson, senior scribe to Her Majesty the Queen’s Crown Office at the House of Lords in London, England, to lead a team of scribes and artists to create the masterpiece. The one-of-akind Heritage Edition is a full-size, fine art edition of the original manuscript created under the direction of Jackson. Only 299 sets of the Heritage Edition were created. The Bible's seven volumes are comprised of 1,150 pages of calfskin vellum; the script is written using hand-cut goose, turkey and swan quills, and the ink is handground lamp black from 19th century Chinese ink sticks. Egg tempera and gold leaf provide vivid color to the illuminations. This special opportunity for Cerenity was brought to life through a partnership between Benedictine Health System and the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth to honor the 125th anniversary of their sponsor, the Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery. The Bible will also be loaned to St. Mary’s Frassati school for one day during its stay and local clergy will be invited to a special luncheon viewing. More information on The Saint John’s Bible and the Heritage Edition can be found at www.saintjohnsbible. org. From press release

Day tripping
A
road trip out west reawakened an appreciation for the vast canopy of sky and beautiful vistas that stretch out for miles into the distance. It felt like whatever angst and worries that were weighing heavily before the journey were gradually shed and symbolically cast off into the wind with the simple act of driving through the open landscape. After traveling across more than a thousand miles of arid and sometimes stark terrain, the return back home provided a fresh and enhanced appreciation for the lush, green, lake- and tree-filled landscape that we are surrounded by on a daily basis. The relative freedom of youth Angle of allowed me to respond to the strong feelings of wanderlust I experiView enced in my late teens and into my mid-twenties. Although I somePaul Dols times felt I was going against the grain of mainstream (and parental) expectations of what I should be doing with my life, I’ve never regretted pursuing and taking advantage of opportunities to travel. I’m still grateful for the experiences and people I met during visits to awe-inspiring places in the United States, Canada, Mexico and various countries overseas including Greece, Italy, Germany, France and the U.K. I believe that a combination of youthful energy, trust and timing were at play, but looking back I’m still amazed at how many of the people I met while traveling — in both in the United States and overseas — were open and willing to share information and even invite me into their lives. After an off-season December hiking trip down into the Grand Canyon, I experienced car trouble in Flagstaff, Arizona. While waiting at the shop for the repair prognosis, the phone rang and the man behind the counter said it was for me. I found this rather perplexing because in the pre-cellphone era, the odds of anyone knowing my location were infinitesimally small. To my surprise, a woman who I’d earlier had a brief conversation with when she stopped at the shop, was calling to offer assistance while I waited for my car to be repaired. As it turned out, the part needed to complete the repair was not immediately available, so I gratefully accepted her help; she and her friends and extended family offered me exceptionally kind and generous hospitality. A couple of years later, while traveling in northern Greece, the photographer in the village I was visiting graciously introduced me to local residents and also invited me along to learn and help him photograph a wedding. These are just two of the many examples of kindness and hospitality I experienced while traveling, that greatly outnumber any incidents of rudeness, hostility or conflict. While I genuinely appreciate the value and benefits of far-flung travel, lately my inclination is to look a little closer to home for travel opportunities. I firmly believe there are world-class attractions and opportunities right in our own backyard — if you’re willing to look with a fresh perspective. Working on the autumn edition of Savour magazine, a quarterly magazine produced by Press Publications, this perspective was reaffirmed. While helping to compile and produce pages dedicated to celebrating creativity and promoting local vineyards, orchards, restaurants and businesses, it became apparent that the abundance of activities, destinations and events within a short drive throughout this area are undeniably impressive. However, within this relatively idyllic landscape some patience on the road and neighborly courtesy are essential for all of us. If you happen to live near a popular destination, it’s probably reasonable to expect temporary traffic delays from time to time during the high season; and if you’re visiting one of these destinations in our communities, please remember that you’re probably driving through someone’s neighborhood.

Our school district’s future in focus
ith students back in the classroom for the 2018-19 academic year, we are excited for the many opportunities for learning slated to happen this year. Three priorities — the district-wide work related to the district’s Strategic Plan, our comprehensive facilities review and planning process, and additional attention to safety and security — are especially poised to put our in focus. Movers and future Last year, more Shakers than 200 district staff and community members came Wayne together to particiKazmierczak pate in building the district’s strategic l i process, allowing us to planning start this year strong as we begin implementation of a new Strategic Plan unanimously approved by the School Board last spring. Core to the district’s plan are our efforts to ensure each student is the primary agent in their learning, provide expanding access to a broad range of opportunities for all students, foster community engagement and partnerships, and build organizational capacity. We will also embrace all cultures with humility and respect, ensure learning environments enhance students’ educational experience, engage families as partners in the education of their children, and ensure the social and emotional growth of our students. Our projected enrollment growth
underscores the need for a comprehensive facilities review and planning process that will be kicked off this fall and continue throughout the year. The district worked with a local company this summer to collect data about our facilities, which included conducting walkthroughs at each of our buildings and meeting with building and program leaders. Next steps include community involvement, with engagement efforts taking place in order to collect input from the community at large. A facility planning committee comprised of a trio of teams will focus on the areas of learning spaces, community spaces, and physical conditions. The district will kick off this engagement process the week of Sept. 10 with an invitation for community members to join in this important work. Information about ways you can be involved, including an application process for the facilities planning committee team members, can be found at http://www.isd624.org/news/index. asp?DocID=2415. After thorough discussions and studies take place over the next several months, the three teams will identify the greatest needs throughout the district, develop potential solutions, and make recommendations to the School Board. It will be at that time that the School Board discusses a potential bond question to be on the ballot in the fall of 2019 or later. Another district priority to highlight is additional attention to school safety and security. Over the summer, a Safety and Emergency Supervisor was hired to work throughout
the district on safety initiatives. The new supervisor will be responsible for coordinating the District’s emergency preparedness program, leading emergency and safety planning and strategies, and conducting emergency-related training sessions and drills. This position will also play a crucial role as we work to build on our already excellent relationships with first responders and local law enforcement agencies. Efforts are also being made to provide additional tools to students. Beginning this fall, all middle school and high school students have access to a new electronic form, the Student Well-Being Tip Line, to report concerns regarding mental health, chemical use, social isolation, bullying, and harassment. While students may also continue to report concerns in person to an administrator, counselor, social worker or teacher, we anticipate this additional electronic avenue to report concerns will help students feel even more safe in reaching out. The Tip Line is another way we strive to give students what they need to feel comfortable, safe, and empowered in our school environment, as helping us ensure the well-being of all students is a focus for the district moving forward. To get involved or learn more about these initiatives and others, find information on the district’s website, www.isd624.org. We invite you to help us put our future in focus. Dr. Wayne A. Kazmierczak is superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools.

Constitutional right to free speech comes at a price “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” – First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
F
ree speech has been in the news again this past week on both ends of the spectrum. Alex Jones, a radio and internet host, was banned by Apple, Facebook, Spotify and YouTube this past week. Jones is considered by some to be a “conservative and conspiracy theorist.” Jones believes the mass shooting at Sandy Hook elementary was staged. Jones was banned for promoting violence and hate speech. The Guardian reported Facebook unpublished four pages run by Jones for “repeated violations of community standards.” YouTube terminated Jones’s account over
him repeatedly appearing in videos despite being subject to a 90-day ban from the website, and Spotify removed the entirety of one of Jones’s podcasts for “hate content.” Social media sites are coming under pressure Movers and resulting from revelations groups involved with Shakers that foreign nations used their platforms to manipulate Tom Stangl and influence the 2016 presidential election. Jones was banned by violating “community standards” clauses in user agreements that we all agree to, but very few of us ever read. These actions are seen by some as a way for social media companies to change the discussion from being about them to be about the “good” they are doing in policing their websites.
As the reporting on Jones was being done, an old free speech headline received new life. It’s nearly once again time for football. Players from high school to college to the pros are hard at work on and off the field, learning plays and building up their endurance. Unfortunately, the return of professional football has brought the return of the political hot potato regarding what players do or don’t do during the national anthem. Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began kneeling in 2016 during the playing of the national anthem as a way to call attention to police brutality and racial injustice. Several reports from 2016 said that Kaepernick kneeled after being told by a veteran that this was the most respectful method to protest during the anthem. The anthem protest quickly devolved into a referendum on patriotism. President Trump fueled this misdirection, painting the protesters as spoiled millionaires who hated their nation, urging owners to fire
protesters. NFL owners have made the situation worse by their mixed signals on the issue. Free speech isn’t always pretty. In some cases, it’s downright ugly. If you disagree with Mr. Jones about what he says, fine. But unless he is directly breaking the law, he has every right to say what he thinks. NFL players have every right to kneel or stay in the locker room during the national anthem. Peaceful protests are the way that social injustices can be discussed. If we can talk to each other, we can find common ground. The Constitution guarantees these rights to all Americans. Good people have died to ensure these rights for generations. We need to be wary of anyone who wants to “protect us” by taking these rights away, no matter how well intended they may seem. Tom Stangl is the publisher of the Amery Free Press. He can be reached at tstangl@ theameryfreepress.com or 715-268-8101.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Bus station option not compatible I read with great interest the article regarding the planning work being done to develop a Rush Line and Bus Station options. While I applaud the desire to enhance our mass transit system, it is very important that the location and designs fit the character and charm of our community. Based on the information shared in the article “Bus rapid transit: all day, every day,” I feel strongly that the proposed station on Clark Avenue would not be compatible with the character of the area. Clark Avenue has a beautiful and quiet walking path to the lake, and the library and homes very near the proposed station would all experience a significant increase in traffic and the associated noise and emissions from both cars and buses. And from a general architectural perspective a large “industrial” structure in our downtown area would not be in sync with the quaint downtown buildings that most of us enjoy. I encourage all who have similar concerns to voice them to the appropriate government and advisory council personnel. Jay Althof White Bear Lake
Consider quality of life for neighborhoods I was surprised to find on the front page of the Press that my neighborhood (Clark Avenue and Second Street) is potentially planned to be the location of a busy bus station and four-story parking ramp. I certainly hope that the Advisory Committee looks at more than “available space” as the single criterion for such an endeavor. For example, it would be great if “quality of life” for the existing residents and businesses in the area would be considered. What will be the impact of more noise, traffic, and pollution in this residential area? What about safety
(for pedestrians, bicyclists and homeowners)? What about existing property values? I would like to see the bus station in an area where it doesn’t detract from the area or community in which it resides. I see that a Rush Line’s Policy Advisory meeting will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Maplewood Community Center. I hope that public input is indeed considered and that we the public are periodically kept informed of the overall comprehensive plan and decisions made by the committee. White Bear Lake is known as a City of Lakes and Legends, with natural beauty and a fascinating history. I hope it is also a city that is not at the mercy of population growth and progress without considering quality of life for the local neighborhoods. Candace Cervenka White Bear Lake

Squad car’s paint job aimed at suicide awareness SUBMITTED
Sheriff Dan Starry unveiled an innovative new squad car Sept. 5 aimed at suicide prevention awareness. September is suicide prevention month. The squad will be used as a normal duty squad car traveling all over the county patrolling and responding to calls for service. The advertisement on the squad includes help/awareness for suicide prevention by website, phone number and/or text. It features the nationally recognized suicide awareness colors of teal and purple, including the suicide prevention ribbon. With regard to suicide prevention awareness, Sheriff Starry said, “Since the beginning of 2018, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office has responded to 163 suicide-related calls. We train all of our deputies in CIT (crisis in intervention training) and will continue to do whatever we can to try and raise awareness and save lives in the areas of mental illness and suicide prevention.” Last month, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office created a lip-synch video and dedicated it to suicide prevention awareness (posted on its Facebook page). The Washington County Sheriff’s Office worked in partnership with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and Washington County Public Health and Environment (PHE). This collaboration includes free training to the public on QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) as well as handouts for deputies and chaplains to give to families dealing with suicide-related issues. QPR training can be accessed by contacting Washington County PHE at 651-430-6655. Advanced Graphix out of Vadnais Heights donated the special graphics.

FAMILY SUES: Claims wrongful death in case against NHL FROM PAGE 1A
the risks associated with repetitive traumatic brain injuries for many decades, but deliberately ignored and actively concealed the information from the players, including the late Jeff Parker.” It goes on to claim that the league “either took no steps to protect and educate its players or took insufficient steps to make players aware of the real risks of playing in the NHL, which would have protected players from unnecessary long-term effects of head trauma.” Jeff Parker played four NHL
seasons for the Buffalo Sabres and Hartford Whalers. He suffered multiple concussions, most notably the one that ended his career in 1991 when his head struck a metal stanchion as he was driven hard into the glass, while playing with Hartford against the Washington Caps. Parker, who helped White Bear Mariner reach the state finals as a senior in 1982, and was one of the leaders of Michigan State’s national champion team in 1986, passed away Sept. 11, 2017, at age 53. His death was attributed to a blood infection. The former hockey hero had
been working as a bartender in a St. Paul bar in recent years. He told White Bear Press and other media outlets in interviews that he dealt with a constant ringing in his ears, loss of taste, and sensitivity to light, which was why he took the bartender job. He was also disoriented with memory loss at times, his brother said. After Parker’s death, the family donated his brain to be studied at Boston University’s CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) Center. Examiners confirmed that he suffered from the neurodegenerative brain disease.
“The second (reason for filing) was the result of the CTE test,” Scott Parker said. “If we had not donated the brain, we would not have much of a case, but … the results of the test being what they were, knowing how far along his CTE was, that helped us make this very difficult decision.” Scott Parker’s Facebook page is filled with links to stories of former NHLers struggling with head injuries. One article hitting close to home concerned Joe Murphy, a former Michigan State teammate of Jeff’s and a firstround draft pick. Scott was dismayed to learn that Murphy is homeless and doesn’t even have a cell phone. “Our whole objective is to make the NHL accountable,”
said Scott Parker. “This is not about Jeff; it’s about other young men who are suffering … This ruling, looking at it, I don’t know, I think makes it more difficult for some of the guys who are distraught and don’t have the resources, who don’t even have a cell phone.” Scott Parker was interviewed about Jeff’s case by the Chippewa Falls LeaderTelegram in May. About the CTE discovery in Jeff’s brain, he commented, “I knew it all along — when he was late for his brother John’s wedding, when he went to the wrong place for a TV interview, when he would come to my house and go down in the basement because he needed to be in a dark place.”

Loon Chronicles III: Eaglemania The Loons have been in hiding for most of the week. We had no idea why until this morning, which started out with a bad omen. As we walked down our stairs, which were covered with white Eagle “production”, I looked up and spotted a very large Bald Eagle as it landed on the top of our pine tree. Its mate landed on our neighbors’ tree. All of the backyard birds, which have been having their way with my Coneflowers, were notably missing in action. Totally silent, except for the Eagles’ infantile sounding calls. Once on the lake, we scoured the entire shoreline in search of some partying Loons or new “drop ins”. Not a loon in sight. That was not the case with the Eagles, which were spotted flying overhead or perched in strategic locations all around the lake. We counted a total of eight Eagles, including one Golden Eagle. The Coots were practicing taking cover in the bulrushes and there was only one Heron in the War Zone. As we headed home, we spotted our “celebrity” chick near our dock. Oblivious to all of the danger surrounding her, she put on a wonderful show of our favorite Loon behaviors. We will keep an eye on her and hope for the “drop in” juveniles to start arriving. Safety in numbers! Ellen Maas

HY–VEE: Proposed convenience store a new model for company FROM PAGE 1A
The Hy-Vee project involves a 10,600-square-foot mega convenience store with seven fueling islands, a Starbucks and a liquor store on the corner of County Road E and Hwy. 61. The store would replace Mouldings, Doors & More, and a strip mall containing Jerry’s Upholstery, Sanibel Dance, Cefou’ and a motorcycle club. Planning Commission members OK’d the project, contingent on several approvals. One is to amend city ordinance allowing a front facade that is 35 percent glass instead of 60 percent. The city must also agree to vacate a strip of right of way along Hoffman Road between the southernmost portion of the site up to County Road E. The piece would be used for a drive-through stacking lane for the Starbucks. The city must also amend a land use ordinance to add the requested commercial uses: fuel islands, liquor store, and coffee shop, to those permitted in the Gateway Zone. New to the plan is a minor subdivision that involves detaching 25 feet to the north along County Road E for public right of way. The piece would be under county jurisdiction and provide a 5-foot sidewalk, boulevard and future turn lane, according to City Planner Tom Riedesel. Also new is an amendment to the land use ordinance. Except for Birkeland, no one spoke during the public hearing. Commission Chairman Ben Johnson did not ask HyVee to address the commission, noting they have heard the presentation before. At last month’s Planning Commission meeting, concern was expressed over the traffic generated by the store.
SUBMITTED
The proposed 10,000-square-foot Hy-Vee will cover the following addresses: 3575, 3588, 3599 Hoffman Road and 1556 County Road E.
MnDOT and SEH engineering will be reviewing a traffic study. Hy-Vee representative Phil Hoey pointed out that they don’t view the project as a “trip generator,” but intend to take
advantage of existing traffic along the corridors. He added that the proposed plan is a new model for Hy-Vee. The Iowa-based company abandoned plans last year to build a supermarket
in White Bear Lake. The site on Centerville Road is now a Lunds & Byerlys, expected to open early October. Approvals by the city for the project will be on the Sept. 18 council agenda.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS 408 DWI arrests over Labor Day weekend To educate drivers on the dangers of drunk driving and planning a safe ride home, a statewide extra enforcement and awareness campaign took place Aug. 17 – Sept. 2. Preliminary numbers show there were 14 deaths during the two-week extra enforcement period with two alcohol-related fatalities, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. That compares with seven alcohol-related fatalities during the 2017 extra DWI enforcement period. During Labor Day weekend (Friday evening – Tuesday morning), officers, deputies and troopers made 408 DWI arrests, bringing the year-to-date total to 18,130. 70 percent of summer motorcycle fatalities not wearing helmet During the 100 deadliest days (Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day) on Minnesota roads, preliminary numbers show 116 people lost their lives, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. That’s 52 percent of all traffic fatalities so far in 2018. The 116 fatalities compare to 121 road deaths in 2017. • At least eight are known to be distraction-related. • 32 are speed-related. • 30 are alcohol-related. • 17 were not wearing their seatbelts. • 40 were motorcyclists. Of the 40 motorcyclists who died, 28 (70 percent) were not wearing a helmet.

Crosswalk enforcement report: Driver didn’t stop, ‘in a hurry to get home’
WHITE BEAR LAKE — A driver who sped up to get through a crosswalk right in front of a group of pedestrians during a police department crosswalk enforcement campaign last month said they were “in a hurry to get home,” reported Officer Jon Sanders. The driver was one of 41 stopped by White Bear Lake officers during a crosswalk enforcement initiative Aug. 26 and 29. Many of the drivers reported they simply did not see the pedestrians in the crosswalk, Sander said. Other drivers said: “I was on the phone;” “I should have stopped;” “The law is dumb;” “I need to pay more attention at crosswalks.” Thirty-three of the drivers were cited for failing to yield the right of way to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk. Six were given a verbal warning. Two drivers were cited for not wearing a seat belt. One driver did not have a valid license. Two drivers were found to be under the influence of alcohol; field sobriety tests were administered, but neither driver was over the legal limit of 0.08. The enforcement initiative was conducted at six crosswalks across the city. Officers spent about eight hours crossing the street and pulling over violators. This initiative was designed to educate the public on Minnesota crosswalk laws and ultimately
help prevent a pedestrian-involved motor vehicle crash in a crosswalk, Sanders said. Minnesota state law requires drivers to stop and yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing within marked crosswalks or at intersections with no traffic signals. Police officers enforce the state crosswalk law by using a safe stopping distance based on the speed limit, as dictated by National Highway Traffic Administration guidelines, Sanders explained. For the enforcement initiative, officers placed orange cones at a safe stopping distance and pulled over cars that failed to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks if drivers were beyond the cones when the pedestrian entered the crosswalk. Pedestrians need to be in the crosswalk or road at an intersection to have the right of way, Sanders said. Minnesota state law also tells pedestrians they should not walk into the path of a vehicle if it is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield. It was the second summer the department participated in the initiative. Last year, 163 drivers were stopped and 131 were cited for failing to yield the right of way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. The campaign was held at 12 crosswalks on four different days. Sara Marie Moore

Financial Management Don’t Overlook These Important Retirement Planning Pieces
EFS Advisors
Entering retirement is an exciting phase of life, and it often takes a lot of planning to get there. Make sure you are not caught off guard on some important, and sometimes overlooked aspects of retirement fi nances. Health care costs are among the largest expenses for retirees. Make sure you have plans for adequate insurance coverage and paying for those premiums and out of pocket expenses. Along with this, consider long term care costs and end of life expenses. Increased consumer prices. Inflation has averaged between 3 and 4% annually and can really eat away at a retiree’s fi xed income. The longer you live in retirement, the more critical planning for this becomes.
Taxes. Because many retirees have less in deductions and required minimum distributions (RMD) are due at age 70.5, taxes due can be a surprise for retirees. If you would like to meet with an EFS Advisors fi nancial advisor, please contact our office at 763-689-9023 to request a free, no obligation review.

Bears stay in win column, beating Osseo 24-14 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
One of White Bear Lake’s football captains made sure not to celebrate too long after the Bears snapped a 19-game losing streak in their opener. “It was important to me personally, but I don’t want to make too big a deal of it,” said Zach Griebel last Wednesday. A third-year starter whose fi rst two seasons each ended 0-9, he added, "I just want us to keep it going." Griebel and his cohorts kept it going one more week, turning back Osseo 24-14 at home on Friday evening, Sept. 7, on the heels of their 28-27 win at Centennial. The Bears regrouped after a shaky start, buoyed by a steady ground game — 198 net yards with no play longer than 11 yards — along with some key passes and a stout defense. “We knew if we keep working hard and doing our thing it will come,” said Griebel, who spearheaded the ground game, carrying 19 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He capped off a clinching 70-yard drive in the fourth quarter, scoring from the two with 2:11 left for a 10-point lead, after bolting 10, 11 and
11 yards for fi rst downs. “The defense played well. We got stops when we needed to and picked off three balls so we were happy with that,” said coach Ryan Bartlett, citing Griebel (safety), Zach Kuyava (linebacker) and John Townsend (line) for strong games. “Our offensive line, led by Zach Claassen, was physical. We put together a nice game-clinching drive at the end, which was fun to watch.” Cooper Anderson hit six of nine passes for 92 yards with one interception. Highlights were an eight-yard touchdown to Brice Peters in the fi rst quarter to knot the score 7-7, and his perfect downfield lob that Fidel Paramo hauled in over-the-shoulder for a 38yard gain in the second quarter. That one set up Griebel’s fi rst TD for a 14-7 lead. The Bears started the game with a fumble at midfield, after which Osseo (0-2) zipped 50 yards in five plays, with Jake Kreuter hitting four passes and Reggie Dupree scoring on a five-yard run. The Bear defense didn’t falter again until giving a touchdown in the fourth quarter, picking off three passes along the way. Paramo made the biggest of those. After Osseo’s Tayvontes

Osseo pulled even three plays later as Kreuter flung a 34-yard scoring pass to Jake Hill, making it 17-14. The Orioles then shook loose a fumble from Brice Peters on the fi rst play after the kickoff, but fortunately for the Bears, tight end Eamon Kerrigan-Krodel pounced on the ball at the 30, allowing his team to launch its game-clinching drive.

Zephyr boys soccer 5-0 slate includes shutout of Bears BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Mahtomedi boys soccer is 5-0 and ranked No. 7 in Class A after posting four wins in nine days, including a 4-0 conquest of nextdoor neighbor White Bear Lake. On a rainy Tuesday evening, the Zephyrs limited the Bears to five shots on goal, all rejected by Josh Bates, while Gavin Goralnick scored twice and Kory Pilarsky and James Mclachlan one each. “Our forwards did a great job again getting us on the board
Young Zephyr team aims to make big splash
The Mahtomedi Girls Swim and Dive team kicked off the season with a third place finish at the East Metro Conference Relays Aug. 30. First-year Head Coach Mike Goldman was pleased with the young team’s performance, "The athletes had many personal bests, and the team demonstrated great depth." The varsity team is comprised of senior captains Olivia Fleming and Rachel LaLiberte; junior captains Kate Hoffman and Jesiah Showers; and returning letter winners, sophomores Lauren Anderson, Ryann Buttke, Clare Fritsch, Frances Fritsch, Jenna Halverson (diver), Grace Johnson, and freshmen Skylar Gillow Clowser, Elizabeth Hansen, Alina Ramirez, Katherine Schneider (diver), Marin Seevers, and Adrial Showers. Twenty-three additional underclassmen round out the varsity and JV squads. In their first dual meet of the season, the Zephyrs edged conference rival Hill-Murray 104-84. The Zephyrs nabbed first place in 8 out of 11 events with
Mahtomedi’s Sydney Panek (4) and Grace Padelford (10) converged on Woodbury’s Grace Douglas (1).

On Saturday, the Zephyrs finished third at the Hastings Invitational. Team scores: Hastings 462, Woodbury 283, Mahtomedi 274, Highland Park/SPA 265, Henry Sibley 109, North St Paul 2. Top individual finishers in each event included first place in the 100 breaststroke (Hansen); fourth place 200 freestyle (C Fritsch); fourth place 200 IM and 500 freestyle (Gillow Clowser); fifth place 100 backstroke (Buttke); sixth place 100 butterfly (F Fritsch). The Zephyrs take on Henry Sibley in a conference dual meet on Thursday. Submitted by Suzanne Anderson
fi rst,” coach Dominic Isaac said. He also cited Dadir Awad for helping control the flow after moving to center mid when another player was injured. The Bears are an “emotional” rival for the Zephyrs, Isaac said, as is longtime nemesis St. Paul Como Park, whom they tripped 3-1 on Aug. 30. Ian Fosdick knocked in two goals and Trygve Myers had the other. Bates stopped five of six shots by the Cougars (3-2-1). “The boys were very up for this game. Como has ended our season the last four years,” the coach said,
referring to section losses. He praised defenders for containing strong Como forwards, mentioning that Dylan L'allier “really locked down his side defensively.” Helio DeLaTorre delivered all three goals as the Zephyrs beat St. Croix Prep 3-1 on Aug. 29. Last Thursday, they fended off Simley 4-2 with DeLaTorre, Elliot James, Pilarsky and Gornick scoring. Isaac cited Nolan Pratumwon for strong work at center back in place of a starter who was out of town.

Lexi Huber and Sophie Steblay had the goals for Stillwater, and Grace Douglas scored for Woodbury. Woodbury controlled the ball for the first 60 minutes but Mahtomedi made a push at the end. “We improved our play under pressure,” Zephyr coach Dave Wald said.

Community invited to converse about blighted intersection Ward 4 City Councilman Kevin Edberg will host a public conversation on Monday, Sept. 17, to listen to citizen ideas and input related to future redevelopment at the County Road E/Bellaire Avenue intersection. The event will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 3770 Bellaire Ave., White Bear Lake. The experience with a proposed development earlier this summer demonstrated significant community interest in this intersection, with citizens expressing a wide variety
of opinions about preferred options. While no other development options have been suggested since the earlier proposal was withdrawn, this conversation is intended to capture ideas and priorities that might be used to evaluate future proposals. The event is being hosted particularly for the citizens in Ward 4, though all citizens are welcome to attend and speak. Submitted by city of White Bear Lake
Newsprint tariffs reversed The International Trade Commission voted not to impose permanent tariffs upon the North American newsprint supply. “The paper markets serving community newspapers can soon begin to move back to market pricing without the heavy hand of government imposing taxes upon the primary suppliers of newsprint,” said National Newspaper Association President Susan Rowell, publisher of the Lancaster (SC) News. It will take a couple of months for the preliminary tariffs to be unwound and credits to be issued back to those companies who had paid duties at the Canadian border since last January. A New York hedge fund company purchased North Pacific Paper Company in Washington State last year and began to claim that it faced unfair competition from Canadian newsprint manufacturers. They went to the U.S. Department of Commerce, which allowed the tariffs to continue while the issue was under investigation. Nearly 70 percent of newspapers surveyed said they had reduced page count due to the tariffs. The cost of newsprint has risen about 30 percent. Sara Marie Moore

CHURCH BRIEFS It is the fi rst time a pastor was chosen for the honor and he rode former Governer Al Quie's horse Nugget, Smith said. He said he has never robbed a bank before. “I was raised with horses and my dad was a real cowboy, but I always imagined myself to be the good guy and not the bad guy,” he noted. Instead of really robbing the bank, Smith planned on raising funds for fresh water wells in India and Ethiopia through the event. His congregation is Redeeming Love Church in Maplewood.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES
City's substantial budget increase follows last year's decrease
BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — What a difference a year makes. One year ago, the city was looking at a general fund budget decrease of 0.02 percent for taxes payable in 2018; this year, the city's proposed general fund budget increased by 11 percent for taxes payable in 2019. The 2018 budget was $5.5 million, but the preliminary 2019 budget registers at $6.1 million, after being approved at the Sept. 4 Mahtomedi City Council meeting. By the time the final tax levy and budget are adopted after the late-year Truth in Taxation hearing, scheduled for 7 p.m. Dec. 4, the budget and levy may decrease after more numbers are crunched. The levy cannot, however, be increased from the preliminary figure. By law, the city must certify the preliminary 2019 tax levy to Washington County before Sept. 30. The total preliminary tax levy of $4,743,516 includes a base property tax levy of $3,207,984, a special debt service levy of $1,510,428 and a PERA (public employee retirement account) contribution increase of $25,104. Other departmental expenditures bring the total 2019 budget to $6,103,232. The preliminary 2019 general fund tax levy of $3.2 million represents a 9.70 percent increase from 2018; the 2019 special levy, at $1.5 million, is a 31 percent increase from 2018 and the total city levy of $4.7 million represents a 16 percent increase
from last year's levy. The Finance Commission and City Council held a joint meeting on Aug. 21 to review and discuss the preliminary levy and budget proposed for 2019. A public hearing was held at the Sept. 4 meeting prior to approval of the preliminary 2019 levy, which must be certified to the county this month. The property tax impact for most major property values show an increase for 2019 following a 1.5 percent increase in the residential market value from 2018. For a home valued at $300,000, the 2019 property tax bill will rise to $1,125, an increase of $157, a 16 percent increase from 2018. The median home value is now set at $329,500. For that home, based on the preliminary tax levy, the 2019 property tax bill will rise to $1,250, an increase of $175 — 16.28 percent higher than 2018. For the largest home value on the scale, a home valued at $500,000 will see a 2019 property tax bill of $1,941, an increase of $268, or a 16.02 percent increase from 2018. Finance Director Scott Schaefer said the main drivers for the city tax levy increase of 9.70 percent had little to do with loss of revenue. Instead, he named three areas of increased expense for the city. Debt service payments increased by approximately $400,000 after the city elected to sell bonds to improve its streets, Schaefer said. He cited costs relating to Phase 3 of the Historic District improvements and the Briarwood Avenue projects. “We got behind the curve
in maintaining those critical elements in the city budget and now we're faced with playing catch-up,” Councilman Steve Wolgamot said. “In the years and decades to come, we should be in significantly better shape with streets, utilities and parks as we move forward.” An additional $50,000 was transferred to the Parks Fund to address capital improvements to trails and other park enhancements. After the city added two full-time paramedics to its fire department, an additional $190,000 was needed from the budget for those salaries. The city increased ambulance service because council listened to its citizens and got the green light to better serve the community, noted Councilman Richard Brainerd. “City councils I've been on have been pretty prudent about increasing staff,” Brainerd said. “We looked at the ambulance department and looked at service provided.” The city talked with its fire chief about the ambulance service needs in Mahtomedi and in other jurisdictions in the area and moved forward. “We haven't exactly been in the forefront of adding staff, but this is one of those areas (where) we did,” he added. “And other cities face those same problems,” Mayor Judson Marshall said. “If it means we need two more people, that's what we need to do, rather than rely on Stillwater. We are still in the best shape to serve our people.”
Sudoku
MAHTOMEDI — The City Council conducted the following business at its Sept. 4 meeting: • After a public hearing, approved a request to vacate a portion of Mae Avenue, behind the Dairy Queen and another property located at 850 Wildwood Ave. and 900 Wildwood Ave., respectively. Because the city has no utilities on the 200-foot strip of land, Mahtomedi will vacate its right of way, which was recorded in 1938 within the McGill's Corner plat. The 100-foot western portion of the newly vacated right of way, which is located in White Bear Lake, does not connect to any other right of way and was also vacated by that city. By law, Mahtomedi cannot ask for any compensation for giving up its right of way, City Attorney Jay Karlovich said. The city may either determine that keeping the land is in the public interest for the future or give it up, he said. • Appointed William Seuffert to an advisory position on the Environmental Commission. Seuffert's term will end on April 1, 2021. “He seems very well qualified for that role,” Wolgamot said. • Scheduled a public hearing for 7 p.m. Sept. 18 to consider certification of delinquent utility accounts to Washington County for collection with the 2019 property taxes for 156 property owners. The amount of the unpaid utility bills stood at $119,612 when the list was compiled and could be decreasing by the moment as payments can be made at any time, Schaefer said. The current outstanding amount is not unusually large; a figure between $100,000 to $150,000 is typical, he said. The unpaid utility bills amount to approximately 2 percent of the city's annual revenue. • Approved the Park Fund balance policy as recommended by the Finance Commission. The policy addresses the need for investment and improvement to the city's parks and trails system and is meant to establish specific guidelines for use of the fund. The city will strive to maintain a reserve fund balance of $1 million for future investment. This reserve fund balance will be funded by designating $50,000 of the total general fund transfer annually until the reserve has been met. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 2 and final in the amount of $7,900 to Insituform Technologies USA LLC for the 2018 sewer lining project. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 3 and final in the amount of $9,244 to G. L. Contracting Inc. for Phase 2 of Katherine Abbott Park improvements. • Formally approved a matching $2,500 grant from the Department of Natural Resources to help the Fire Department purchase 10 new pagers at $500 each. • Approved a $5,000 grant application to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for a $9,000 electric vehicle charging station to be located in Veteran's Memorial Park. Mahtomedi must match at least 20 percent of the grant money and use those funds by 2020. As part of the Volkswagen settlement, $189,000 has been made available to cities through the Minnesota Diesel Replacement Program to install charging stations. “There is much criteria involved, and it is a very competitive grant,” City Administrator Scott Neilson said. “It's worth a try.” The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

Doggie day care coming to township BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — A day care and boarding facility for dogs is coming to the township. The Town Board approved zoning ordinance amendments and a conditional use permit for the facility, titled Camp Bow Wow, at 4843 White Bear Pkwy. The previous tenant in that space was the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Camp Bow Wow would be owned and managed by Jeff and Diana Hall, who own another Camp Bow Wow location in Burnsville. There are more than 155 Camp Bow Wow locations in North America. Camp Bow Wow will provide training and grooming services and will stock retail pet supplies. Pet parents will be able to make reservations for the facility. The building will be staffed appropriately for the number of dogs; anywhere from four to 10 employees could be on site during a shift, Diana Hall said. At the Burnsville Camp Bow Wow, the building averages 65 dogs per day, added Hall. Indoors, a ratio of one employee to 15 dogs is planned. In the outdoor play area, that ratio would be one employee to 25 dogs. Camp Bow Wow staff will regularly exercise the dogs. Though the building will be monitored 24/7 with video cameras, staff will be on site from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. As part of the facility’s conditional use permit approval, staff will be required to be on site during Township Days and the Fourth of July, when there are
fireworks. Dogs will be screened for aggressive behavior before being allowed at Camp Bow Wow and separated in play areas by size and temperament. Any dog older than six months old will be required to be neutered or spayed. “Camp counselors,” or Camp Wow Wow employees, are to be trained in pet safety and CPR. Boarding dogs will sleep at night in individual cabins with a cot, blanket, water and toys. Dogs from the same family will be allowed to share a cabin for a discount. The proposed plan has about 120 kennels, as well as indoor and outdoor play areas and training, grooming, meeting, lobby and office spaces. “We look forward to seeing you out there,” said Chair Bob Kermes. In other action at the regular Sept. 5 meeting, the board: • Approved an additional driveway at 2363 Taylor Ave. The driveway would connect to Taylor Avenue. • Denied a motion to approve a minor subdivision at 5513 and 5515 West Bald Eagle Blvd. in order to get more information on the parcels and the request. The homeowners are requesting that the property, which currently has two homes on it, be split into two parcels. • Held a closed session for about 30 minutes to discuss the White Bear Lake litigation and the ongoing litigation regarding the property on Portland Avenue.

Celia Wirth, Computer Support and Repair
I have been providing friendly, patient and educational computer assistance in homes and small businesses since 2003. No need to carry your computer into a store, I come to your home or office. I can help you in your home. Enjoy your computer more. I’ll tune it up and answer all your questions. I can add the new wireless printer, connect your iPad to the internet, and everything in between. Consider giving a gift of my time to your parents. I can make the computer more fun for them too. I am a good option for your office. I can add a new computer to your network or POS, and be the person that calls the ISP or offsite tech support when you don’t want to. I am usually quicker and more affordable than your offsite tech support for those small jobs that you don’t want to do. I can even set up a website for you. Especially for Seniors, I am very patient. I understand that sometimes it’s not easy, even if your kids say it is. I will answer your questions over and over, and I will never make you feel foolish or bad about what you don’t know.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Private paint label honors father, founder Howard “Mike” Abbott opened the fi rst Abbott Paint store on St. Paul's Cleveland and Marshall avenues in 1945 with the personal attention small retailers had back then for customers. That detail, with his insistence of top-quality products, brought homeowners and painting contractors back again and again over the years. Eventually, locations in White Bear Lake and Stillwater were added as word about customer care and painting know-how spread. “Dad became a trusted friend with everyone he met at his store, greeting them at the door, asking about each customer’s painting project, and then providing tips and solutions,” said Kevin Abbott. “He was a tremendous father, mentor and hero to our family. He was the ‘go-to’ guy for paint in the neighborhood.” Mike passed away two years ago and his four sons wanted to recognize their father’s legacy with something dear to him. They quickly decided it would be paint. After months of researching the quality and attributes deserving of such recognition, the boys came up with a private label, 100 percent acrylic exterior paint and named it Vintage 24, for the year Mike was born. “It’s nice seeing his photo on the label,” Kevin added. “It kinda puts him back in each store where he loved to be.” For more information on Vintage 24, visit Abbottpaint.com or stop in any of its three locations. Fairgoers love Anchor coffee The Anchor Coffee House in downtown White Bear Lake was named a 2018 State Fair Best Award winner. Among popular drinks served at the fair were cold brews like nitro cold caramel cream coffee, chocolate cream and vanilla

Luxury car show canceled The Luxury Car & Fine Art show scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 7, at Dellwood Country Club has been canceled. If you have paid for a ticket, a full refund will be made in the same form of payment as original purchase. The strategic partner for the car show is Horses for Horsepower whose leader, Eric Hawkinson, has been diagnosed with brain cancer. The organization is withdrawing its participation from the event cosponsored with the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC), White Bear Center for the Arts and Press Publications. VHEDC Board President Debby Gustafson said without the partnership, they did not feel they could have the caliber of event that would meet expectations of

Paul and Valerie in 2018
Happy 60th Anniversary Paul and Valerie Ackerman! Paul and Valerie Ackerman were married on Sept. 13, 1958 in Toronto, Canada, and have lived in White Bear Lake since 1960. They have four children and eight grandchildren: Jillian, married to Trevor Saxty (Isabel and Miles); Rob, married to Karmel (Maddie and Elena); Marnie, married to Whit Jackson (Duncan and Ellierose); and Katherine, married to Alain Valois (Denis and Zachary). Paul was an executive at 3M during a 38-year career that included an eight–year overseas assignment in Italy. Valerie worked as a registered nurse before
and after raising their children. The Ackermans have traveled extensively, including trips to 133 countries and all seven continents. They enjoy music and sang for 16 years with the Minnesota Chorale. They now spend part of their time in Alameda, CA, where Paul serves as a docent on the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier museum. The couple are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary with their children, spouses and grandchildren at a weekend gathering at a resort hotel on the Pacific coast near San Francisco.
