131 drivers cited for crosswalk violations

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Beginning their march around the lake Some of the hundreds of participants in the Carry The Fallen Ruck March event begin their 12 mile journey around White Bear Lake Saturday morning, Sept. 9. Hikers from around the state carried weighted packs to help raise awareness and honor military service members who have died from suicide. According to a press release, the primary purpose of the event is to bring military families together to build camaraderie in order to save future lives. Find more information at activeheroes.org.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Of 163 drivers stopped by the White Bear Lake Police Department during its summer crosswalk enforcement campaign, 131 were cited for failing to yield right of way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

The campaign, held at 12 crosswalks on four different days in July and August, was a joint effort with the St. Paul Police Department, which has conducted similar “Stop For Me” campaigns in St. Paul.

“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,” said White Bear Lake Police Office Jon Sanders, who was instrumental in bringing the enforcement to White Bear Lake after learning about it in St. Paul.

Common responses from the 163 stopped drivers were that they “never saw” the pedestrians in the crosswalk or didn't know it was “the law” to stop.

Other notable statements made by cited drivers included: SEE CROSSWALK, PAGE 8A

Relay regular tops fundraising tally

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

A cancer survivor herself, Jane Jones is a Relay regular.

The White Bear Lake grandmother starts her Relay For Life fundraising efforts months in advance, sending about 60 letters to family and friends soliciting donations for the American Cancer Society.

This year, Jones again topped the list for individual fundraising, netting $10,000 for cancer research.

It's what she does.

In fact, Jones has been participating in Relay at least 20 years, ever since winning the fight against uterine cancer.

“I had been spastically working before on fund

drives for cancer, but that experience sure brought to mind what can happen and what needs to be done,” she said.

Jones is a member of the Country Helps Cure team, sponsored by Country Financial, which has participated in White Bear's Relay for eight years. Her son Dan Jones is a friend of agency manager Jeff Picco, which is how the two were connected. According to Picco, Jones' fundraising skills helped the team raise $14,350 this year, most of which Jane raised herself.

“The amazing thing is she does it all via mail,” he added. “We all wait for her to show up at 'bank night' the Thursday before the event to see her turn in her donations. It's just a great example of her dedication to

Youngster combines love of cooking with charitable giving Seven-year-old Ray Strobel loves to cook. He also loves helping people, according to his mom, Angie.

So the Lincoln Elementary second-grader is putting his two interests together by holding a pancake breakfast Saturday, Sept. 23 in White Bear Lake.

“While I am directing and helping him to the best of my ability, Ray is doing the work himself, including meeting with the American Legion Post 168, who graciously agreed to donate their facility for his event,” noted his mother.

Proceeds from the breakfast will go to the Ronald McDonald House Charities, an organization Ray selected. He is learning a lot from the process about marketing, Angie added, including making flyers and banners, garnering support and organizing volunteers.

“Through Ray's event, we have connected with other families with young kids who want to be part of the process,” his mom added. “This has proven to be an incredible journey in many aspects and I'm sure it will make a positive impact for all involved.”

Breakfast includes pancakes, sausage and eggs with beverage. $7 at the door; or $5 in advance by registering at https://rmhtwincities.org/ways-to-help/pancake-breakfast Children 4 and under are free.

Good Samaritan anglers rescue driver trapped in vehicle

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Anglers in a fi shing boat came to the rescue when a White Bear Lake man's vehicle lost power and rolled into Bald Eagle Lake at a boat launch Sept. 1.

The car lost power likely due to a mechanical failure and rolled backward into the lake while the driver, 44, was attempting to launch a jet ski about 1 p.m., according to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.

The power windows were disabled and the driver was trapped inside the vehicle as it became partially submerged in the lake.

“We were on our way in from fi shing near the launch,” recalled Todd Lindberg, one of the anglers who came to the rescue when they saw the vehicle backing into the lake.

“The front sank so we rushed over to help him out. He was trying to punch the window but he couldn't.”

Lindberg positioned his boat so that his friend Brandon Smith could

try to open the back of the SUV, but it was locked. The driver told them to break the window.

Smith broke the window with a handled fi shing net; it broke after about six or seven tries.

“We helped him into my boat and brought him to shore,” Lindberg said.

The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office dive team was called and recovered the vehicle from the lake with a strap. The vehicle is currently being assessed for what type of mechanical failure may have caused the malfunction, said Randy Gustafson, sheriff's office public communications coordinator.

The rescued driver was not injured.

“That had to be a very scary experience for him,” Gustafson said. “There is nothing like being trapped inside a vehicle going under the water.”

Hurricanes are devastating

T

HE RECENT HURRICANES Harvey and Irma were without a doubt devastating. They are now considered the biggest national disasters ever to hit the United States.

The total cost is yet to be determined, lives lost may continue to increase, and the number of displaced families and destroyed homes is enormous.

All government levels have been summoned to help and they are doing a tremendous job. Volunteers have moved in to Texas from all over the country. Contributions are coming in from all over the United States and overseas as well.

Many people are without flood insurance, their lives have been upset, their jobs may be lost and we About the will all feel it directly or indirectly for some time to come. Petroleum Town and other chemicals will rise in Gene Johnson price. Insurance rates will go up.

Somehow through all of this, people will work together to recover.

Texas and Florida could not prepare in advance for such a disaster. They need your help and they need it now. They also need your prayer support and need encouragement in every possible way.

If you have thought about providing some type of support, do it. Do it now.

IT’S BEEN ENJOYABLE working at the Newspaper Museum at the Minnesota State Fair. Several members of our family have been there on the two days that we volunteered. We’ve got to start teaching our children and grandchildren, and we even had a great-grandchild there, learning about the process of how newspapers were once produced.

We are adding young people to our staff of volunteers. They are anxious to get into it as an art form.

Several new posters in multi-color were created this year, thanks to them.

Kathy and I enjoy meeting so many friends who come by to say hello and to reminisce about the good old days.

We keep reminding everyone how important newspapers are no matter the method of production.

Our democracy needs to be promoted, explained and preserved. The role of newspapers is to hold government accountable. That’s part of the reason it is labeled the Fourth Estate.

The First Amendment includes five important freedoms. Review that with your family. See if you can name all five. Challenge our teachers and educators to teach the Constitution.

I AM ALWAYS learning and I did have a recent lesson that I will share with you. I took my boys fishing on Lake of the Woods in Canada again this year. We had three days of shore lunches and the walleye was delicious, right from the lake into the pan so to speak. After we came home and a week or so went by, I got hungry for that shore lunch walleye. We went to a very good local restaurant and ordered walleye. It was not the same. That’s my recent lesson. You have to wait at least three to six months after having shore lunches before you can accept walleye, whether it’s fresh or frozen, in a restaurant.

FEAR OF FAILURE is faced by all of us. That’s why at the beginning of the school year and throughout the year children need encouragement.

One of the many fears about returning to school could be a fear of failure.

There are a lot of us who hesitate to try new things because of fear of failure, being injured or being embarrassed, but you have to step out of your comfort zone. Taking that first step is the difficult one.

I was sitting at lunch one day with two of my grandchildren, ages 10 and 13. I asked them if they had any fears and they quickly answered, “Yes.” Then I asked them how they overcame them and 10 year old Kellen answered quickly, “You just have to do it and the fear goes away.”

Step out of your comfort zone and do it.

Strong schools, strong community, strong tomorrows

I

t is an honor to share this message as the superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools!

As I begin my superintendency, I am grateful to be serving at such an exciting time in the district’s history. We have a terrific story to tell.

The district serves an area covering 46 square miles and comprised of 10 municipalities, stretching as far north as Hugo and far south as Movers and as Maplewood. Our student enrollShakers ment numbers Wayne are strong, with increases projectKazmierczak ed in the coming five to ten years.

Our demographics are changing, with a more diverse student population and approximately 50 languages spoken in the homes of our families.

Increased opportunities for high school students include access to 42 college-level courses, with 80 percent of our 2017 White Bear Lake Area High School South Campus graduates participating in a college-credit bearing course before graduating. The district offers career pathways opportunities in four areas: Manufacturing, Construction, Information Technology and Healthcare. Throughout the district,

innovative programs at all levels provide individual advancement and support for students, and district-wide world language, orchestra and gifted programs have expanded.

The district has earned its reputation as a good steward.

We are one of a small number of MN districts with a AA bond rating, which we’ve received from Standard and Poor’s every year the district has applied since 2010. Our district has received excellence in fi nancial reporting awards from both the Association of School Business Officials and Government Finance Officers Association for 17 consecutive years.

By working in partnership, we are able to offer innovative opportunities for students. We have program and facility community partnerships with YMCA, MacPhail Center for Music, White Bear Center for the Arts, and Tamarack Nature Center to name a few. Academic partnerships with local universities and international schools offer additional experiences for our students.

Looking forward, we have many important initiatives on the horizon. Our School Board recently unanimously passed a resolution to schedule a local operating levy renewal referendum (not a tax increase) for this fall.

This vote will be a renewal of the same question that was strongly supported by our community in the fall of 2011. Approximately

15% of our revenue comes from the local operating levy, which is critical to our student opportunities and successes. Additionally, four School Board seats will be on the November 7 ballot.

We will also launch a community-driven Strategic Planning process this fall. Community members, students, parents and District staff members will participate in the strategic planning process, helping us to write the next chapter of our “tomorrows.”

We will have multiple opportunities for community members to participate in the process, so please watch for additional information in district publications or contact my office to get involved.

Upon School Board adoption of the strategic plan, we will conduct a comprehensive facilities planning process to ensure our district facilities support our student needs now and in the future.

We hope you will be a part of our Strong Schools, Strong Community, Strong Tomorrows.

Join us this fall at our schools, student activities and events! If you are one of our community members age 65 or older, please consider signing up for our free Senior Activities Pass program and enjoy complimentary lifetime admission to school activities.

Dr. Wayne A. Kazmierczak is superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

H ti Hunting, ttrapping i in White Bear Township Other residents of my White Bear Township neighborhood and I are concerned about evidence of hunting and trapping that has taken place for many years and appears to be increasing.

We live on Ridgewood Avenue off of Bald Eagle Avenue. There is a woods of about 5 to 6 acres between Ridgewood Avenue and the railroad tracks. About an acre of it is owned

by White Bear Township. I own another acre. The rest is owned by other individuals. Hunting and trapping are illegal all year in this part of White Bear Township.

Gunshots have been heard from the woods for many years. They used to be sporadic and only in the middle of the night or around dawn.

Lately there have been some periods when they have been more frequent and sometimes occur in the early evening.

Once I found a freshly dead doe in the woods, which was gone the next day. Not far away I found an uninjured dead young fawn, which indicates that its mother was unable to return after grazing. During the last year, I have seen a gray fox missing an entire foot and a deer missing an entire hoof. Animals missing entire feet indicate the presence of large steel traps.

Even if someone is not concerned about saving the lives of wildlife, presumably everyone would want to

avoid injury and id human h i j d deaths, d th and d this situation is an accident waiting to happen. Children play in the woods and people walk their dogs on the path near the railroad tracks. A human child or adult could accidentally be shot or step into a steel trap.

Someone could die.

This issue is on the agenda of the White Bear Township meeting scheduled for Monday, September 18, at 7 p.m. It will be at Heritage Hall, 4200 Otter Lake Road. This is south of Highway 96 on Otter Lake Road.

Anyone concerned about this issue is encouraged to attend this meeting. Residents of Garden Lane, across the railroad tracks, may have pertinent observations. Concerned individuals not living in the neighborhood are also encouraged to attend.

Stop for pedestrians on South Shore Boulevard This past weekend, after enjoying a trip to the lake, I was walking across the street on South Shore Boulevard with four children under the age of 5. A car was seen coming from very far away but it was so far we decided it was safe to cross. As an extra protective measure, I held up my hand so that the car saw us.

Not only did the car not stop, but it sped up towards us. Mind you, this was about 50 feet from a stop

sign also.

This i l Thi is i nott the th fi rstt time ti that cars have sped past us without care for safety. I am often afraid of walking with a stroller on South Shore Boulevard due to unsafe drivers or drivers that go too fast. It is my hope that with more awareness from the Lake Links project, or if we are very lucky, a safer route will be created so others and myself can walk across the street or walk with children without fear.

Sheriff reports favorite feature I am writing to say how much we enjoy the White Bear Press each week. Great stories and local coverage.

But ... I have to say that my favorite feature each week is the Ramsey County Sheriff reports. Please let whoever writes that feature know that the writing is great. I often laugh out loud at some of the stories.

I know it’s crime, but she/he tells engaging stories. Thank you.

Supports School Board candidate As a local business owner, I have had the privilege of getting to know White Bear Lake School Board candidate Jill Engwer and have seen fi rsthand how she works tirelessly

to As the t serve others. th A president id t off th Flips Gymnastics booster club, Jill modeled excellent leadership skills.

She is a take-charge person, dedicated to helping others. Her role as president of the Flips Booster Club, a 501(c)(3) organization, included leading all board meetings, coordinating all special events for Flips Gymnastics and hosting competitions with over 1,000 athletes in attendance. Her duties included securing appropriate facilities for the competitions or events, coordinating vendors, coordinating countless event volunteers, soliciting sponsors and organizing event schedules. Jill also actively pursued support for, organized and successfully executed a profitable color run fundraiser for the Flips Booster Club in recent years. The color run fundraiser continues to grow due to Jill’s strong organizational skills and attention to detail. It has been my experience that Jill listens to others, advocates in behalf of others’ needs and follows through with everything she promises. She has earned the respect of others through her words and her actions. As a school board member, I believe Jill will serve the students and families of White Bear Lake Area Schools with the same level of commitment she has so selflessly shared with the Flips Gymnastics community.

New fire chief on board WHITE BEAR LAKE — The city has a new fi re chief.

After a lengthy selection process, the city of White Bear Lake announced that Gregory Peterson will serve as the next fi re chief. Peterson will vacate his current position as battalion chief with the Roseville Fire Department where he has served in various capacities for the last 20 years. He is also the lead fi re instructor at Century College, a position he plans to maintain while serving White Bear Lake.

Over his career, Peterson has served as a flight operations manager with Life Link, worked as a paramedic, and as a volunteer assistant chief with the Falcon Heights Fire Department. He has a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and an associate’s degree in Fire Protection.

Peterson's fi rst day of duty with the White Bear Lake Fire Department will be Sept. 18.

“Greg’s experience, demeanor, educational background and strong community and service ethics made him an ideal candidate,” said

City Manager Ellen Richter. “He also has an impressive background in emergency medical services, which is an important attribute for a department like ours that Gregory Peterson runs an advanced life support ambulance service.”

Peterson will be assuming the chief position previously held by Chief Tim Vadnais for 28 years before his retirement in December 2016. During the vacancy, Police Chief Julie Swanson has been handling the department administrative duties and District Chief Tom Ballis has been overseeing operations.

Drunk driver takes out fire hydrant in crash

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — A drunk driver took out a fire hydrant and mailbox on Otter Lake Road Labor Day evening.

A Forest Lake man, 23, was driving a white van northbound on Otter Lake road about 6:40 p.m. when he lost control of the vehicle apparently due to high speed, said Randy Gustafson, Ramsey County Sheriff's Office public communications coordinator.

The driver went onto the right shoulder and then overcorrected and crossed the road, smashing into a mailbox and breaking a fire hydrant in the 5700 block of Otter Lake Road, Gustafson explained. The vehicle ended up completely rolled over.

The driver was not injured but was arrested for driving while under the influence (DWI).

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

Vadnais Heights • A caller reported a black cat roaming in the Vadnais Lane area of the city the afternoon of Aug. 31, a known hangout for feral cats. The caller was unable to contain or capture the black cat but noted it had crossed his path. When the Sheriff’s Department offered the loan of a live trap, the caller thought better of it. Why test his luck?

• A homeowner in the 4600 block of Centerville Road found the overhead door to his detached garage open around noon on Aug. 31 and his Yamaha 250cc motorized dirt bike gone. The 34-yearold owner said the side door of the garage was unlocked. He did not report the value of the bike.

• Cash in the amount of $110 is now in unknown hands after a 58-year-old female shopper’s cashless wallet was found in a Walmart restroom the afternoon of Aug. 31. She had left her purse containing the wallet in her cart and stepped away, “just for a moment.”

• A motorcycle parked at a gas station in the 3400 block of Rice Street in the wee hours of Sept. 1 was slammed to the ground by “an upset female throwing things and acting out,” according to witnesses. Damage to the bike was estimated at $1,000, according to its 32-year-old Roseville owner. An investigation is underway.

• A broken “pull me over” taillight was the reason for the stop Sept. 1 in the 3300 block of Labore Road but things kept getting more complicated for the 21-year-old Gem Lake driver. His rear license plate was expired but he kept it on the vehicle, he said, “because he liked the numbers better.” His front license plate was missing altogether and the weed pipe with residue in the center console didn’t help matters at all. The man was charged with the license violations and

possession of drug paraphernalia. His rear plate was confi scated and his vehicle was impounded.

• Road rage spilled over from the freeway to a gas station in the 3400 block of Rice Street the afternoon of Sept 2. Both drivers were out of their vehicles and a station employee called 911. A state trooper responded and arrested a 40-yearold Maplewood man and a Minneapolis man, 24, on charges of fi fth-degree assault and disorderly conduct.

• Patrons at a bar on County Road F attempted to stop one of their fellow drinkers the night of Sept. 3 who had too much, but the intoxicated man drove away. An employee called 911 and a responding deputy called on his years of experience to know where to look. “I’ll head for the next closest bar,” he reasoned. That was in the 3800 block of Labore Road and where the 66-yearold local man was found. He was transported to jail on a third-degree DWI charge.

• A car window was shattered and a pink backpack containing an iPod Air 2 was taken in an overnight smash-and-grab Sept. 3 in the 1100 block of County Road D. The iPod was valued at $200, the 27-year-old victim told deputies.

• A deputy responded to a report of a vehicle traveling at 45 mph on I-35E in the wee hours of Sept. 3 and spotted the slow mover weaving over the fog line, the centerline, the fog line and so on. A 27-year-old St. Paul man was arrested and booked at the jail for fourth-degree DWI. His vehicle was impounded.

• A 19-year-old White Bear Lake man left his car window down in the 600 block of Willow Grove Lane in the late night hours of Sept. 3 and retired for the night. His Galaxy S-6 smartphone valued at $200 was donated to a passing thief.

• Unpleasantness occurred between a husband and wife Sept. 2 at Dad’s place on Koehler Road.

The 21-year-old woman was given an order for protection against the husband, who left the

scene. Three days later the 22-year-old man returned and was arrested for violating the order for protection.

White Bear Township • A three-wheeled ’83 Honda motorcycle was reported stolen overnight Aug. 29 in the 2000 block of Stillwater Street, according to its 36-year-old owner. No suspects.

• A vehicle backing down the Bald Eagle Lake boat launch the afternoon of Sept. 1 lost power and kept going and going and going. The vehicle was soon completely submerged, according to the county Water Patrol. An investigation continues.

• A speeding vehicle on bald tires spinning around willy-nilly took out mailboxes and a fi re hydrant in the 5700 block of Otter Lake Road the evening of Sept. 4 before coming to rest upside down. The uninjured 23-year-old Forest Lake man was charged with second-degree DWI and “driving on unsafe tires.” He was booked into jail on those charges and on a Washington County warrant for his arrest for trespassing.

the cause. Go, Jane, go!”

Raising thousands of dollars is elating for Jones.

“You can't imagine how exciting that is to take all those checks and cash in to the cancer society,” she said. And whatever the largest donation, Jones and husband John double it.

Members of her church, Parkview United Church of Christ, are also politely asked to donate to Relay.

“One time I asked for a show of hands 'how many knew someone who has had cancer?'” Jones recalled.

“Everyone raised their hand. It taught me that I was asking the wrong question. I should have asked, 'is there anybody who doesn't?' Because everyone knows someone.”

Jane and Johnny, as she calls him, have been married 62 years. They've lived in White Bear Lake for 58 of those years, moving to their Cedar Avenue home in 1959 after John got out of the service and got a job with 3M. At the time, she said, the whole area either worked at 3M or were school teachers. “It was a nice growing community,” Jones said. “I think White Bear is a great town.”

The couple raised three children; two daughters and the youngest, Dan, who sits on the White Bear Lake City Council.

Councilman Jones said he's proud of his fundraising machine of a mother.

She not only raises money for Relay, but his mother uses her knitting talents to raise money for the church, too, Dan said.

Jane's knitting skills are put to charitable use through a unique partnership with a Mahtomedi knitting store, Lila and Claudine's.

Years ago, Jones bought pricey yarn at the store to knit a sweater and one of the owners commented that she'd like to see the finished product.

“So I took the sweater back to her and she said, 'that's what I thought. How would you like to knit samples for me for the store window? I'll give you the yarn, the needles and the patterns.'

“When I told her they were for the silent auction at church, she asked if they could display them for a year and when the auction comes up at church, take

them back and start over. That was a very generous thing for a store to do. I've been doing that 10 to 12 years.”

Look for some fancy sweaters next time you're walking by the yarn shop window. Chances are they're Jones' handiwork and available at the Parkview church fundraiser the first weekend in November.

And there's one more thing the 83-year-old does.

Jones directs the Silver Harmony Singers, a choir group consisting (mostly) of silver-haired seniors who love to sing. Performance proceeds from a Parkview church benefit every year go to yet another cause, the White Bear food shelf.

“Raising money happens to be what I like to do,” Jones said. “It keeps me busy and out of trouble.”

“They weren’t in my lane.”

“I spaced out.”

“I should have stopped, but didn’t.”

“There are no excuses.”

This summer, one pedestrian was injured by a driver who failed to stop for her in a crosswalk. The incident occurred about 2 p.m.

Aug. 4 at Highway 61 and Seventh Street. The incident did not occur on a day when officers were out at crosswalks during the campaign. The older woman was taken to the hospital after a vehicle hit her, said Captain Dale Hager. Her injuries were not life-threatening. The driver was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

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, according to the Minnesota Office of the Revisor of Statutes website. It 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.

Police officers enforce the state crosswalk law by using a safe stopping distance based on the speed limit, as dictated

19 Verbal warning about crosswalks 3 Texting while driving SARA MARIE MOORE | INFOGRAM

A total of 131 of 163 drivers stopped during White Bear Lake Police Department’s first-ever summer crosswalk enforcement campaign were cited for failing to yield the right of way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

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 they were beyond the cones. Pedestrians need to be in the crosswalk or road at an intersection to have the right of way, but they need to have taken only one step into the road, Sanders said.

During the crosswalk enforcement campaign, 19 drivers were given a verbal warning for

failing to yield the right of way of a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk.

Officers also cited several drivers for other driving violations — 10 were cited for not wearing a seat belt and three for texting while driving.

Three drivers stopped for crosswalk violations also did not have valid driver's licenses and face additional charges.

Freewheeling women biking cross-country for wild places "An important part of our mission is a call to action in our fi ght to protect public lands."

Their bicycles will be weighed down with camping and cooking gear. They will stop for groceries and other necessities along the way.

As a safety precaution, the women are carrying mace and pepper spray. One experienced trekker suggested taking dog treats to thwart aggressive canines who like to chase bicyclists.

Are their parents worried? "Probably, yeah, but I think she's excited for me," said Benjamin about her mom Leann. Scout Field claimed her parents, Anne Jackson and Ted Field, are trying not to show apprehension. Ledermann said her parents, Pam and Jeff Ledermann, aren't hiding it.

"My parents worry about distracted drivers who don't see bikes," she noted. "There is always a risk of being hit by a car."

At this point, the plan is to bicycle 50 to 60 miles a day and arrive in South Carolina in December.

Speaking for the group, Benjamin knows it will be physically and mentally exhausting. "We have to make sure logistically we do the miles.

I'm worried that all the work it will take to do the bike trip will detract from the energy we have to put into videos and interviews. I like to think we can manage it."

Sponsors are helping fi nance part of the trip. Summer jobs helped the women earn money to buy some of the equipment they'll need. All jobs involved the outdoors. Scout Field

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Four young women, three of them high school chums from Mahtomedi, hit the road Sept. 9 on a 4,800mile trek across the United States.

Their mission: To raise awareness of the threats facing public lands.

They call themselves Women on Wheels for Wild Lands, or WOWFWL. All are recent college grads who love the outdoors and aren't daunted one bit by the thought of spending the next three and a half months in a tent.

The adventurous four-some, Katie Ledermann, Alex Benjamin, Hannah Scout Field and Ariana Armini, arrived in San Francisco Sept. 7 to start their journey east through national parks and public lands. Their fi rst stop was Muir Woods National Monument, a 20-mile ride from the Golden Gate Bridge.

Ledermann, a University of Minnesota-Morris environmental studies grad, said the group hopes to spend time at each stop along their charted route to learn about the area and speak with park rangers and visitors.

It was Benjamin who suggested the cross-country bicycle trip, but Ledermann wanted to tie in the awareness piece.

"Public lands appear threatened by this administration so I thought we could use the bike trip to let people know about this issue," Ledermann said. "We've all grown up using public lands and we care about them.”

The women feel the biggest threat facing public lands is the potential transfer of federally-owned lands to states. They fear states don’t have the resources to manage these lands, and could be forced to increase taxes or sell the land to private business and industry.

Ledermann, Benjamin and Scout Field have been friends since their Nordic skiing days in high school.

They graduated in 2013 and went off to separate colleges. Benjamin attended Montana State University for a chemical engineering degree; Scout Field went to Macalester College to major in math. She introduced her pals to Armini, a college friend she met through a string quartet. Both play violin.

Armini will write the blogs along the way for their website: womenonwheelsforpubliclands.com, and the women will be journaling periodically for the White Bear Press. They have recruited a fi lmmaker, Lauren Kingsbeck, another Mahtomedi woman, who will edit footage sent by the team for weekly videos. An interactive map on the website created by one of Ledermann's professors will track their progress.

"The videos will have scenes of parks, interviews and different things we've learned," said Scout Field.

Did you know, without a curbside program, 85% of clothing, shoes, & reusable housewares get thrown into a landfill? On average, that results in 21 BILLION pounds of textile waste in the United States annually!

The EPA reported nearly 68 pounds of textiles per household end up in the residential waste stream every year. White Bear Township & Simple Recycling have partnered in order to help change these shocking numbers & reduce the amount of reusable waste (which makes up to 15% of the residential waste stream) that ends up in our landfills.

Benjamin was a guide for a river rafting outfitter in California. Ledermann and Armini both led wilderness trips for a YMCA camp in northern Minnesota.

Do they consider themselves atypical to attempt the journey? "We are all strong, confident women who never cared much about what other people thought," replied Benjamin.

"That is what brought us together and allows us to do the weird things

we do. I think all of us want to tell our kids and grandkids that we fought for these places for them."

Ledermann said she likes to surround herself with people "who like to do this stuff."

"This maybe is not a typical adventure but it's the right time since we don't have much debt," she added.

As for Scout Field, she's glad her parents are willing to pay her phone bill, which will likely exceed its data usage.

SCHOOL BRIEFS School announces new director

Job opportunity!

This position is benefits eligible and has an attractive work schedule of Monday through Friday, 12:30 – 5:30 pm. Join our team and see why we’re a great place to work and care for others!

Apply now at lakeviewhealth.org/Lakeviewjobs.

927 Churchill Street W, Stillwater, MN (EOE-Disabililty/Vet)

The new director of Magnuson Christian School is Cheri Buelow.

She has 15 years of teaching experience along with 15 years in fulltime ministry.

“Because our roots are 13 years deep, we feel God is leveraging the school right now for a new season of growth,” Buelow said. “In the next three years, Magnuson will forge an even stronger partnership with parents that enhances our positive school climate, develop a community presence that attracts new families and facilitates growth, implement additional technology to support innovative learning, and continue to hire and support skilled faculty and staff to instill excellence.”

The school is located at 4000 Linden St., White Bear Lake.

School announces new principal The new principal of St. Jude of the Lake Catholic IB School is Carrie Hackman, who has been a part of the Catholic school system for over 20 years. Her energy already shows with the many renovations on campus: from school video screens displaying all the highlights of the students, to a new library and media

differentiated learning center. Her plans for the upcoming school year focus on customized learning plans for each student, Lego robotics, a completely hands-on and engaging Foss science curriculum, a tank that allows the students to witness the life cycle of a trout, a weather lab with Belinda Jenson and more. The school is located at 600 Mahtomedi Ave., Mahtomedi.

District announces alumni of distinction Mahtomedi Public Schools 2017 Alumni of Distinction is Lynda (Oien) Polgreen, M.D., Ph.D., class of 1992. Polgreen is now an investigator/assistant professor of pediatrics at the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and David Geffen School of Medicine. Currently, she is studying and conducting clinical trials in rare skeletal diseases such as osteopetrosis and mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS).

Polgreen’s interest in science began in high school with Mr. Erickson. “He was an outstanding teacher who made science fun,” she said. In addition, “The top 10 students in my graduating class were all female, so as a young girl this helped me believe I could pursue any career I wanted.”

Polgreen has received numerous awards for her research. She lives in Long Beach, California with her husband David and 4-year-old daughter, Elise, and frequently returns to Mahtomedi to visit family.

District announces senior housing awareness day White Bear Lake Area Schools, along with community businesses, will host a Senior Housing Awareness Day 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23. Shuttle buses will be available to take event attendees around to senior housing developments in the area that will be holding open houses.

There will also be a resource room for area seniors and their families to explore how to age in place in their home or other housing options. For more information, call the White Bear Area Senior Center at 651-653-3121.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Clinic prescribes parks to children Beginning this month, children ages 2 to 13 who visit with a provider at White Bear Lake HealthPartners Clinic will receive a Rx to Move with information about different ways to try for one hour of play each day.

HealthPartners has teamed with the local YMCA, District Area Community Services and Recreation Department, and state and local parks and trails to develop the Rx. It provides families with free and discounted opportunities to explore ways to be active right in their own community.

The Rx also includes a parks guide that includes fun outdoor activities for families, a map of local parks and information about a free event taking place Oct. 7 at William O'Brien State Park. At this PowerUp in The Parks Fall Adventure event there will be free activities, including a nature hike with geocaching, archery, a bike rodeo, kayaking, canoeing, fi re building, and more. To learn more and to register, please visit www.powerup4kids.org/parks The Rx to Move is part of the BearPower initiative to make better eating and physical activity easy, fun and popular so that youth can reach their full potential. Elsa Keeler, MD, a pediatrician at White Bear Lake HealthPartners Clinic, said, “We hope that by writing these prescriptions, it sends a powerful message to families about the importance of moving more and getting outside.” Data from the 2010 Minnesota

Student Survey indicated that 50 percent of children do not get enough physical activity every day.

This year’s program runs from Sept. 18 through the end of October (or while supplies last). In addition to the Rx to Move, BearPower partners with schools to bring the Winter Warm-Up Challenge. This is a three-week program that inspires kids to get up and get moving during the winter months.

Pizza place closes in Willernie Mama Jean's Pizza in Willernie closed its doors Sept. 10. The father/son owners, Chris and Alex Nitardy, thanked customers for supporting the restaurant the last two years but said via social media that they were forced to close due to the unexpected sale of the building. They indicated the possibility of reopening at a different location.

Company expanding with purchase Heraeus Medical Components is acquiring Biotectix LLC, a company formed in 2007 that specializes in polymer-based conductive materials for medical devices. The purchase will enable Heraeus to offer Biotectix materials to enhance performance of sensing and stimulation electrodes used in diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices. Heraeus is a White Bear Township company at 5030 Centerville Road owned

by German-based Heraeus Group.

License bureau working through glitches WHITE BEAR LAKE — Weeks after the Minnesota Department of Public Safety rolled out a new computer system for motor vehicle licensing tasks, lines can still be long at the city's license bureau.

Customers looking to renew tabs, transfer titles or get new plates are facing delays at the counter as clerks process time-consuming transactions.

City Manager Ellen Richter said the lines are down considerably from the fi rst few weeks after new software was rolled out, but the process remains slow.

“More information must now be entered in on the front end to assist with processing at the state level,” Richter pointed out. “This causes delays at the counter. We are also still making up for lost production on dealer title work, which

was at a standstill the fi rst week after the change-over due to systemwide issues.

This remains a statewide problem.”

Staff at the city-operated license bureau have had to work significant overtime, according to Richter.

While circumstances have improved and lines are shorter than the fi rst few weeks, it is likely additional staff will be needed in the long term to keep wait times at the level to which customers have become accustomed.

“Meanwhile,” added Richter, “we are relying on overtime and temporary assistance to pull us through the transition. Once the dust has settled, we will be in a better position to evaluate the long-range implications.”

Mahtomedi proposes slight decrease in budget for 2018 Property taxes to increase slightly, but overall taxes to decrease

BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — Property taxes will increase by 1.3 percent for taxes payable in 2018, but special levies that service the city's debt and retirement contributions will decrease by 4.8 percent.

The Mahtomedi City Council at its Sept. 5 meeting conducted a public hearing and, by a vote of 3-0 (Councilmen Richard Brainerd and Timothy Deans were absent), approved the 2018 preliminary general fund budget, which will be certified to Washington County by Oct. 2.

Council also formally scheduled the Truth in Taxation public hearing for fi nal budget approval and certification for Dec. 5 at 7 p.m.

In addition, council has also scheduled a public hearing to discuss the proposed 2018-22 capital improvement plan at 7 p.m. during the Nov. 6 council meeting.

The tax levy set by the city can be lowered following preliminary budget approval in September and fi nal budget approval in December, but it cannot be increased.

According to fi gures presented by

Finance Director Scott Schaefer, Mahtomedi's budget for 2018 will decrease by 0.02 percent to about $5,490,522, compared to $5,491,389 in 2017, a difference of a little more than $800.

The property tax levy for 2018 will increase by 1.29 percent to $2.9 million, compared with $2.8 million for 2017. Special levies will be down 4.7 percent for 2018 at $1.17 million compared with $1.22 million in 2017. Debt service will decrease 4.9 percent to $1.1 million in 2018, compared with $1.2 million in 2017. However, the PERA (Public Employees Retirement Association) contribution will increase to about $24,700.

Overall, the total tax levy will decrease by 0.5 percent to $4 million, compared with $4.1 million in 2017.

How will this all translate to the property tax bill that homeowners will see next spring?

A $250,000 home likely will see no net increase in taxes from 2017 to 2018, Schaefer said. A $300,000 home will see a decrease of 0.3 percent, or about $3 less. A $500,000 home will see a decrease of 1.5 percent, or about $26 less.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Mahtomedi City Council took the following action at its Sept. 5 meeting: • Directed city staff to work with the developer of the 36-unit Wildwood Apartments just south of Aldi's Foods to draft a cost-sharing agreement for the pond project upgrades. As part of the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) approval process, the applicant is required to upgrade the existing pond into which the stormwater from the project will flow. The city engineer estimated that the city would have to spend from $25,000 to $30,000 for pond maintenance and recommended that the city consider a cost-sharing agreement with the developer to be limited to 50 percent of the upgrade costs and not to exceed $30,000.

• Scheduled a public hearing for Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. to consider certification of 158 delinquent utility accounts to Washington County for collection with 2018 property taxes. As of Aug. 31, the delinquent accounts amounted to $113,800.

• Approved the amended 2017-18 Safety Management Program contract with the Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association. The city will pay the MMUA $8,500 annually.

• Awarded a contract for the White Bear Lake outlet improvements to New Look Contracting Inc. in the amount of $36,800. The winning bid was the lowest of three bids received on Aug. 24 and was the exact amount of the engineer's estimate.

• Approved the DataLink web mapping implementation from WSB and Associates. Budgeted funds will be taken

from the general, water, sewer and stormwater funds. DataLink's first year implementation cost is $15,000, with a software maintenance fee of $3,500 per year afterward.

• Awarded the contract for Katherine Abbott Park Improvements – Phase 2 to G. L. Contracting Inc. in the total amount of $170,900. The total amount includes a base bid amount of $101,500 and an added Alternate 2 bid of $69,400 for a south trail connection to the water's edge. The winning bid was the lowest of five bids on Aug. 17.

The city will set aside a minimum construction contingency of 10 percent of the project total to allow for any additional unknowns during construction.

• Purchased a Graco Linelazer paint sprayer from Sherwin Williams in the amount of $5,585 with monies from the equipment and building replacement fund.

The paint sprayer will be used to paint traffic markings such as crosswalks and parking lots.

The city received two quotes. The unit being

replaced will be auctioned at Government Surplus MNBid. • Disposed of surplus equipment through the State of Minnesota auction process and sealed bids, as required by law.

After having purchased replacements, the city will now dispose of its 2004 Chevrolet 3/4-ton pickup truck and a 1998 Ford New Holland tractor with implements. The city will also dispose of two jet ski trailers, an Onan generator, display cases, a tool rack and its defective Graco Linelazer paint sprayer.

• Approved construction pay voucher No. 4 to Metering & Technology Solutions in the amount of $20,100 for the Mahtomedi/Willernie water meter replacement project.

• Adjourned to closed session, as permissible by law, to discuss nonpublic real property appraisal data pursuant to Minn. Stat. Sec. 13.44, Subd. 3 for city-owned real property.

The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 19 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

Loretta Harding

And what will property owners receive for their city taxes? Police and fi re protection will consume 29.6 percent of the budget; debt service 20.9 percent; running the city 19.8 percent and public works 12.3 percent. Parks, capital improvement and contingency operations round out the rest of the budget.

The city employs six full-time administrative staff, two full-time fi re and ambulance personnel, nine full-time public works employees and two summer public works employees.

Mahtomedi can expect to receive 74.6 percent of its anticipated revenue through taxes, with additional monies coming in through current services, transfers from other levels of government, licenses and fees, court fi nes and miscellaneous sources.

“I think this is an outstanding budget — maybe one of the best I've seen since I've been on council,”

Councilman Joel Schilling said.

“We've increased the budget where it was needed and held the line in other areas.”

Although the budget was not yet available for viewing on the city's website at www.ci.mahtomedi. mn.us at the time of the Sept. 5 meeting, it can currently be seen at City Hall during business hours and on the city website before the Dec. 5 meeting.

Mahtomedi resident Tony Yarusso expressed his frustration at not being able to see the budget before the Sept. 5 meeting because it had not been posted online. Schilling agreed with him and called for upgrades to the city's website. Website upgrades, however, could add at least $30,000 to the expenditures side of the city's budget.

But for now, the city's budget remains slightly lower than last year's without the addition of that communications line item.

That’s right, head lice have their own month, and Angie Anderson at Nitpickerz wants parents to be aware of their children’s increased susceptibility to lice infestations now that school has started. The National Pediculosis Association (NPA) says head lice cause between 12 million and 25 million infestations each year in the U.S., mostly in children under 12 years.

Angie offers some other facts about lice: 1. Anyone can get lice, but kids ages 3-11 are prime targets.

2. Lice are spread through direct contact with the hair of an infected person. Lice cannot fly or hop.

3. Chlorine will not kill lice, but they probably will not spread through the water. Don’t expect them to disappear after swimming lessons.

4. Although the sight of bugs crawling through your daughter’s hair may make you feel anxious, lice don't spread diseases.

5. Lice have no preference for dirty or clean homes, or dirty or clean hair.

Children of any age or size are vulnerable to pesticides, says the NPA, and none are more at risk than the growing number of children treated for illnesses such as cancer, brain tumors, epilepsy, asthma, allergies and AIDS. Nitpickerz removes lice manually, without chemicals. If your child brings home a note from school about lice, Angie urges you to make an appointment for a head check immediately. “It’s for your peace of mind,” she says.

Nitpickerz is located at 1714 Cope Ave. E., Maplewood. Call 651-236-8528.

Mahtomedi inducts four men into sports Hall of Fame

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Mahtomedi Sports Hall of Fame has added a prominent coach, two allaround athletes and a longtime team doctor to its rolls.

Steve Ross, Ryan Driscoll, Wally Malmstrom, and Dr. David Thorson were introduced at halftime of the football season opener last Friday evening.

Ross, 1961 graduate, was a halfback/ safety, pitcher/shortstop, and basketball guard during a great era for MHS. He is the fourth inductee from a group that collected seven conference titles, won 22 straight football games and outscored opponents 407-0 in 1959, and went 26-1 in basketball with a fifthplace state finish in 1961. He fired three straight shutouts his senior season in baseball. The retired vice-president for Minnesota-Iowa AAA lives in Eagan and Englewood, Florida.

Driscoll, class of 2000, was an all-state

wide receiver in football, a three-year starter at point guard in basketball, and a versatile track-and-field athlete who still holds the school triple jump record. The son of two Mahtomedi coaches, he is a physical education teacher and sophomore boys basketball coach at Northfield.

Malmstrom coached Zephyr track teams to a 115-29 record and the state championship in 2006, and headed a vibrant program with two state trueteam championships and one MSHSL state title. This is the third Hall of Fame honor for the former Mankato State wide receiver; he was previously honored by the state coaches association and by his alma mater, Elk River High School.

Dr. Thorson, who practices at Entira Clinic in White Bear Lake, was recognized for his service on the sidelines for the football and soccer teams for the past 25 years.

Teen hockey brothers recruited by Gophers goals) while Cruz, regarded as the more outstanding passer, was fourth in overall scoring. Chaz is a year younger and Cruz two years younger than most players in this league for elite players.

This story was covered by major news outlets in the metro area. Star-Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins, in an article headlined, “How young is too young in college recruiting?” indicated that if Lucia wasn’t recruiting them, someone else would have beaten him to them.

They are the sons of Gentry Academy owners Chuck and Tami Lucius. Chuck Lucius is the CEO of Gradient Financial Services, which he and Tami co-founded in 2005. Tami is the founder of Gentry Academy. The family is moving to Grant in mid-October when their new home is ready.

Gentry Academy, whose mission is developing tomorrow’s leaders, according to its web site, opened in 2014-15 in Blaine with 40 students in grades 5-8, and moved in 2016-17 to its new building on the Vadnais Heights Sports Center campus. This year, the school has over 100 students, 13 teachers, an Education Director, Leadership Director, School Counselor, and athletic staff for hockey, dance, lacrosse, gymnastics, golf and cycling.

The hockey staff is high caliber. To name a few: Joe Dziedzic, Mr. Hockey in 1990 for Minneapolis Edison who starred for the Gophers and spent five years in the NHL; Scott Bjugstad, a high-scoring forward for the Gophers and later North Stars, who runs a shooting camp; Amanda Leville, goalie for two Gophers national champion teams; and Sean Skinner, a Canadian who travels the world training players.

This year, Gentry Academy opened a new 10,000-square-foot PowerHaus gym in the lower level, said Joe Jensen, activities director and one of the

The Bears scored 84, followed by Red Wing (131), Maple Grove (136), Hopkins (157) and Buffalo (158).

“This is probably our deepest team since 2008,” said coach Dan Kovacich, referring to a team that placed fifth in the state.

“We are senior-loaded with a talented group of seniors, sophomores, and juniors. We have about 10 to 12 runners who will fight for our top seven (which) will change each week.”

Bear boys soccer is 4-0-2 after 3 straight shutouts White Bear Lake boys soccer has outscored opponents 14-3 while winning four matches and tying two others in an unbeaten season so far.

Last week, the Bears posted three shutouts, beating Hastings 4-0 and St. Paul Academy 1-0, sandwiched around a scoreless tie with Cretin-Derham Hall.

“We’re just a year older and a year better and clicking much more as a team,” said coach Karl Jende, noting that seven different players have scored.

“These guys have played together for quite a while.”

Noah Williams booted three goals against Hastings and Jackson Rush had the other. Colin Hupert, a senior who played forward last year, is the goalie anchoring the stout defense.

A pair of Gentry Academy brothers who haven’t played a high school game yet are already Division I hockey recruits.

Chaz and Cruz Lucius, age 14 and 13, respectively, Gentry Academy eighth-graders, gave their verbal commitments to Coach Don Lucia and the Gophers on Thursday, Aug. 31, an event announced by a tweet from the Vadnais Heights private school.

Gophers assistant coach Scott Bell tweeted the same day: “Landed two big ones today! Welcome to the #Gophers!”

“Chaz and Cruz are recognized as exceptionally talented, very unique, and the Gophers offered (scholarships),” said Billy Hengen, who coaches them at Gentry Academy and Minnesota Blades, their summer team. “There were a lot of schools in the Midwest recruiting them.”

The Lucius brothers are believed to be the youngest players ever offered scholarships by the Gophers.

They were scouted through their Blades AAA team, the Gentry Galaxy winter hockey team, and the Bantam Elite League, said Jennifer Kurth, Gentry Academy education director. “The boys are Gopher fans and really excited about their commitment to the University of Minnesota,” she added.

Gentry Academy, in its fourth year, features an ambitious hockey program for grades five through 12, with a star-studded coaching staff. Its boys and girls teams face high-level competition around the country.

They have formed a co-op with Minnehaha Academy to offer their student athletes the opportunity to participate in the Minnesota State High School League.

(The Lucius brothers will play on a Gentry Academy team and not the co-op this winter.)

With the Blades this summer, Chaz led the Triple A Bantams league with 22 goals (the next best was 11

Bear gridders so close again, lose to Osseo 20-19

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake is still looking for its first football win but you can’t come much closer than the Bears have in their first two games.

The Bears were nipped by Osseo 20-19 there Friday evening, passing for 184 yards and rushing for 175 but suffering five turnovers, three of them in the last five minutes.

“We need to make more plays and put ourselves in better spots,” coach Ryan Bartlett assessed. “I love these kids and this team. They compete hard. We just need to limit mistakes and make more plays.”

They had lost their opener to Centennial 27-21 in overtime after rallying from a 17-6 deficit. Centennial beat No. 3 ranked Totino-Grace 25-17 on Friday.

Dan Lyons hit 13 of 19 passes for 185 yards at Osseo with two terrific touch-

down tosses in the third quarter to rally the Bears into a 19-14 lead. He led tight end Blake Charles perfectly down the sideline for a 40-yard score, and, backpedaling against a hard rush, flipped a four-yard TD pass to Malek McNurmey on a fourth-down play.

However, Osseo defensive end Anthony Williams tipped a Lyons pass and snagged the ball on the Bears 11 with 5:52 left, leading to Reggie DuPree’s sixyard TD, giving the Orioles a 20-19 lead.

Lyons then took the Bears right back downfield but threw an end-zone interception from the six with 1:24 left. The Bear defense forced a three-and-out, and two 15-yard penalties on Osseo perched the Bears at the 32 with 40 seconds left.

But Williams struck again, sacking Lyons for the third time in the game and forcing a fumble.

“We’ve got to take care of the ball better,” Bartlett said. “If we would have done that, we win the game.”

Historic building has new landlord

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — After being “quietly for sale” for several years, the downtown Gerken Building owned by the Parenteau family for almost 80 years has sold.

Brothers Mike and Dick Parenteau closed on the sale Sept. 1. The buyer is John Rog, a Stillwater resident who operates as Hidden Bay LLC. The historic building at Fourth Street and Banning Avenue was first purchased by the sellers' father, M.H. “Mitch” Parenteau, in 1939. It was built by Henry Gerken in 1898 for a blacksmith shop. “White Bear Life,” which later became the White Bear Press, wrote at the time that the new building was to be “large enough to accommodate all brands of horseshoeing, blacksmith and wagon work on a larger scale.”

Mitch Parenteau ran a meat and grocery business on the corner before selling the store to pursue a new enterprise in 1949: clothing, according to the book “Looking Back on White Bear Lake,” by Cynthia Vadnais. He bought the Home Trade Store at 626 Fourth St. for the

Mike Parenteau joined the family business in 1969, seven years after his father's death. The interior of the store was remodeled and enlarged and remained a quaint department store that carried clothing and shoes for the family and Boy Scout/Girl Scout uniforms.

When Parenteau's closed in 1997, Bear Patch Quilting took on the lease. There are also five apartments on the second floor.

“It was time,” said Mike, who still lives on nearby Lake Avenue. Reluctant to say much about the sale, Parenteau said his family “is history” and the new guy is the “real story.”

“It's about moving forward,” said the longtime resident, who did add that remembering and seeing old customers was the best part of the business, even if it did close 20 years ago.

As for the new owner, he prefers to wait a few weeks before commenting on the transaction. As for a connection to White Bear, Rog did say he frequented Grandma's Bakery.

An individual retirement account, or IRA, is a type of account men and women who meet certain eligibility requirements can open to save money for their retirement. Unlike a 401(k), a type of retirement account that is provided by an employer, an IRA must be opened by an individual. Another difference between a 401(k) and an IRA is that men and women can withdraw money from their IRAs before they reach retirement age to pay medical expenses without incurring the penalties that apply when 401(k) account holders prematurely withdraw money from these accounts. One similarity between 401(k) accounts and traditional IRAs concerns taxation. Account holders of both types of accounts do not pay taxes on their contributions to those accounts until they begin to withdraw money in retirement (prematurely withdrawing money from a 401(k) will incur taxes and fees). But men and women who open a Roth IRA pay their taxes up front, meaning they won’t be paying taxes down the road when they withdraw money in retirement. Each type of IRA comes with its own set of rules and restrictions, including contribution limits and eligibility requirements based on earned income.

In addition, men and women with a traditional IRA must begin to withdraw their money by the time they reach age 70.5, while those with a Roth IRA can leave their money in their accounts as long as they please.

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. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to. I am usually quicker and more affordable than your offsite tech support for those small jobs that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do. I can even set up a website for you.

Especially for Seniors, I am very patient. I understand that sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LLC 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 donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know.

Loon Chronicles: A Happy Sequel “The Loons are really taking in this gorgeous early fall weather. At last count, there were more old warriors than juveniles. That will change in the next few weeks, as juveniles from other lakes start to gather to feast on White Bear Lake’s abundant fish supply in preparation for migration. One juvenile still remains close to its parent, never really leaving its side as they fish and dive together. The best news of all is that the Eagles are busy elsewhere and soon, the Coots will gather and keep the Eagles very busy for several weeks. Life is good on White Bear Lake.”

Local vegetable grower continues State Fair wins Although Vadnais Heights resident Mike Tschida didn't win the State Fair's award for largest tomato this year, he took 25 firstplace ribbons for vegetables.

Tschida has won honors in the tomato category for seven years.

This year he took 25 first-place ribbons for things like green beans, six large tomatoes, 12 small tomatoes, 25 plum tomatoes, 25 pear tomatoes, six large carrots, 12 large pickling cucumbers, six poblano peppers and six Thai hot peppers.

Tschida has been entering vegetables at the State Fair since 2010. His goal was to win the largest tomato, which he eventually did.

“One year I bought some books and read all about it,” he noted. He took third place, then second and then first. And along the way, he branched out into other

vegetable categories.

How does Tschida grow such large vegetables? He uses all-organic compost, a fish and seaweed formula and puts dried molasses in the ground that feeds night crawlers. And he only uses rainwater, which he collects in three 55-gallon drums.
