Judge gets update in lake lawsuit case as attorneys prepare for trial BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — A delayed government report on White Bear Lake concerns the district judge deciding the lake level legal case. At an update in her courtroom Sept. 8, Judge Margaret Marrinan informed attorneys representing the plaintiffs, the White Bear Lake Restoration Association (WBLRA) and intervening White Bear Lake Homeowners Association, and those representing the defendants, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and its intervenors, White Bear Township and city of White Bear Lake, that she was "disappointed" the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) report is late. That report, “Characterizing Groundwater and Surface Water Interactions in Selected Northeastern Twin Cities Lakes, 2013-2016,” was due this fall and is considered a significant item of evidence in the case. It's a follow-up to an earlier study that found a combination of less precipitation and more groundwater pumping could explain the decline in lake level. Assistant DNR Commissioner Barb Naramore told the judge the delay was due to peer review, technical comments that had to be addressed and calibration of the ground/surface water flow model. The report will come in two parts, she said, with Chapter 1 expected by Sept. 30 and Chapter 2, with methods and results, coming end the of 2016. SEE LAKE LAWSUIT, PAGE 8A

The day the towers fell: My story BY BROOKE (BUSHMAN) HENNESSEY SPECIAL TO THE PRESS

I was part of 9/11. I was starting my junior year at New York University and lived in an apartment on the 22nd floor of Water Street. I woke up at 6 a.m. Monday, September 11, 2001 to do my laundry and had the intention to go for a run. Instead, I put my laundry in and went back to bed. I was awakened by a telephone call from my friend Greg, who lived in the building. He said, “Look out the window and turn on the TV. I am coming up to get you.” I looked out the window, which faced north and saw the first tower with clouds of smoke pouring from it. I went back and forth between watching the towers and the broadcasts on TV. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My friend Greg arrived and we sat watching from my window. I said, “It is going to fall!” As we know,

that is exactly what happened next. I immediately started to cry. Greg asked, “Are you okay?” I replied, “Everyone is dead …” Our building shook and it turned black as night. The smoke and rubble rolled south to our building and blew my industrial windows open. The alarms went off in the building. I stuck my head into the hallway and there were students screaming, “Get out!” I grabbed my keys, cell phone and a $50 bill. I ran down 22 flights of stairs in flip-flops. The campus security was in the lobby ripping up bed sheets. They gave us pieces of wet sheets and said, “Put this over your mouth and walk north or over the Brooklyn Bridge.” I was panicked. I didn’t know what to do. I was in my pajamas. I didn’t know anyone in Brooklyn. I decided we should walk north. As we walked, we were surrounded by fellow New Yorkers wandering on the streets with their cell phones in the air. Everyone was trying to get ser-

vice. No one's cell phone worked. We were gathering around parked cars trying to listen to the radio to get information on what to do or where to go. People and the streets were covered in ash and soot. I remembered I had my keys to the tanning salon where I worked in Greenwich Village on my key chain. We walked through China Town, Little Italy, Soho and made it to the Village. People were screaming and pushing one another and running in every direction. There were gas explosions going off and I could smell gas. I didn’t know which way to run. I sprinted to the tanning salon, fumbled for my keys and banged on the door. The owner James was there and let me in. For the next week, I skipped around trying to figure out where to sleep. I spent two nights in Nyack, New York, watching news coverage nonstop. I was so deSEE MY STORY, PAGE 9A

Hometown sailor serving aboard ship forged from World Trade Center steel As the nation observes the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, a 2011 White Bear Lake High School graduate and White Bear Lake native is serving in the U.S. Navy aboard a ship built with steel from the World Trade Center. Fireman Connor Enright is an electrician’s mate aboard USS New York, responsible for various electrical systems and supervision of generator and auxiliary spaces. Named for the state, the USS New York is one of the Navy’s newest and

most advanced amphibious ships. It's designed to deliver Marines and their equipment where they are needed to support a variety of missions ranging from amphibious assaults to humanitarian relief efforts. Homeported in Mayport, Florida, USS New York at 684 feet is longer than two football fields, is 105 feet wide and weighs more than 24,000 tons. It has four diesel engines that can push the ship through the water in excess of 26 mph. According to the Navy, New York’s

bow, forged from steel salvaged from the wreckage of the 9/11 World Trade Center attack, embodies the strength and determination of the people of the United States: to recover, rally, and take the fight to the enemy and honor the memory of those who were affected by the attacks. USS New York forges an enduring alliance between the people of New York, the ship, and her crew. Serving in the Navy and aboard New York, Enright said he is constantly learning how to be the best leader, sailor and person possible by handling numerous responsibilities, meeting deadlines, and forging lasting professional relationships. “I like working with my fellow sailors; it's a good family-type atmosphere and everyone takes care of one another on and off duty,” Enright said. Sailors’ jobs are highly varied aboard USS New York. More than 400 men and women make up the ship's crew, which keeps all parts of the ship running smoothly, from washing dishes and preparing meals to handling weaponry and maintaining the engines. An additional 700 Marines can be embarked. USS New York is capable of transporting the Marines and landing them where they are needed via helicopters, vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and landing craft. “The sailors who serve aboard USS New York are exceptional in many ways,” said Capt. Kenneth M. Coleman, the ship’s commanding officer. “They represent some of the hardest-working

and most dedicated Americans I have served with in 25 years of naval service. They exhibit an impressive level of pride for serving on board a ship that means so much to so many Americans.” Collectively, the San Antonio-class ships will functionally replace more than 41 ships providing the Navy and Marine Corps with modern sea-based platforms. Amphibious transport dock ships are warships that embark, transport and land elements of a landing force for a variety of expeditionary warfare missions. These ships support amphibious assault, special operations or expeditionary warfare missions and can serve as secondary aviation platforms for amphibious-ready groups. Because of their inherent capabilities, these ships have been and will continue to be called upon to support humanitarian and other contingency missions on short notice, as well. As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s high-tech amphibious assault ships, Enright said he and other New York sailors are proud to be part of a war fighting team that embodies the spirit, strength and resilience of the American people. “Serving on this ship gives me a great sense of purpose to come into work every day because it stands for perseverance, freedom and democracy,” said Enright.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Pizza and ice cream under one roof

KRIS OSTERKAMP | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Pizza Man owner Farrell Tuohy is adding malts, sundaes and cones to the menu after taking over the ice cream parlor next door to his Bald Eagle Avenue shop.

Pizza Man is adding ice cream to the menu. Owners Farrell and Kim Tuohy are expanding their pizza shop at 4687 Bald Eagle Ave. by taking over Ozzie's, the ice cream store next door. The name will change for the new venture; the Tuohys are thinking Pizza Man and the Corner Malt Shop. It will be open seven days a week year-round. "We'll be adding different things to make it more of a malt shop and sell sandwiches and soup," Farrell said. "From now on our mentality will be pizza and ice cream together.” He's working with the city on possible seating — he'd like to seat about 20 by knocking out a wall — but that is yet to be decided. His goal, Farrell said, is to offer a buffet for the lunch crowd. He won't be seeking a liquor license. Extensive remodeling shouldn't be necessary but Tuohy does plan to add a few counters and pizza warmers. "We'll make modifications as we see fit," he said. "This offered a prime opportunity to expand. Ozzie's owner wants to get out of here sooner rather than later." The Tuohys bought the Pizza Man four years ago but the business has been on Bald Eagle Avenue 20 years. They are the third owner, Farrell said. Before that, he worked in law enforcement for the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department and spent 15 years in the insurance business. While he was looking for a new opportunity, the White Bear Lake location came up for sale. "It fell into my lap; I figured it was a sign," Farrell said.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Race around the lake in Bear Water Run

The move did come with a cost, however. "I went from a desk job to being on my feet all the time," Ferrell recalled. "I got a blister on the bottom of my foot and within days it turned into a bad bacterial infection that went into the bone. I battled it for two-plus years. I finally decided, enough is enough, cut it off." Doctors amputated his leg below the knee. Farrell calls it a minor inconvenience. "My health is good otherwise, and with the advances in prosthetics, there much you can do. It does keep me from riding roller coasters, and I like to golf." Business is good, he added. "We have good, loyal customers who buy my pizza because of the sausage and the cheese (from the Burnett County cheese co-op in Grantsburg, Wisconsin). We get a lot of walk-up business from the neighborhood because we put out a quality product. “And it makes sense," Farrell said. "Pizza and ice cream go together and I needed the extra space anyway." The move is official Oct. 1.

Breakfast event Gable Pines is holding a "Breakfast for a Cause" event 8-10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 16.

Dodging audits

N WRITING THIS column, I have tried to keep my eyes and ears open to information that I think might be helpful to our readers. Several things have caught my attention recently. Public notices are important in Minnesota, as well as throughout the United States, to inform the public in an official way by requiring different divisions of government to publish notices. For example, school boards are required to publish their minutes. A city council is only required to publish their budgets and fi nancial condition. Of course, when they request for certain projects over About the bids a certain dollar amount, they are required to publish those as Town well. Mortgage foreclosures must be Gene Johnson published. Also a certificate of assumed name must be published when starting a new business by state law as part of the public’s right to know. An area the legislature should address is unclaimed property. For example, in Minnesota there is $700 million dollars and growing in property that should be returned to the proper recipients. As an example, if a safety deposit box is not used and left unattended, after 10 years it is a sell-off. I think our legislators should take a look at this and take some action about making the information public so rightful owners/heirs can be notified. Currently the Internal Revenue Service is short of help. Employees of the IRS are retiring faster than they can hire. This results in fewer audits, which are estimated to be about 3 percent less than normal. That means some people are getting away without paying their full tax and our federal government is operating with less revenue than they have coming. Another area is the Affordable Care Act where there is a medical form that taxpayers are required to check whether or not they have health insurance. I am not sure why the IRS has this under their purview. Without health insurance the IRS can levy a fi ne to taxpayers. Due to the lack of staffi ng, they don’t even look at the required forms. MINNESOTA’S STORYTELLING ICON, Garrison Keillor, entertained a grandstand audience of 12,115 at the Minnesota State Fair on Sept. 2. The three-hour show, originally scheduled for two hours, was all Minnesotan. Garrison Keillor brought together Minnesota culture and fair history through a variety of music, stories and songs. Keillor had just ended his Saturday night radio show “A Prairie Home Companion” July 2. This seemed like it might be one of his last public presentations. When he came on the stage he took his microphone and went right down into the audience and began singing patriotic songs and hymns with the crowd quickly joining in. The evening’s conclusion was similar and well appreciated by the audience. His storytelling and his ability to relate to his audiences will live on. There is something special about the State Fair grandstand entertainment on a Minnesota summer night. The fi reworks are a great fi nale to any show. Over the years we have had the privilege of seeing Red Skelton, Bob Hope, Liberace, Paul Anka, Victor Borge and many others. The largest grandstand audience was in 2000 featuring Christina Aguilera. 22,117 tickets were sold. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Fermented foods bolster friendly bacteria

e have a lot of bacteria in our gut, and thank goodness for these little guys. Most of them are good and not the kind that make us sick. The happy, friendly bacteria that mostly live in our colon carry out very important tasks such as produce vitamins, digest food that we wouldn’t be able to otherwise, and keep our immune systems strong. They may also protect us from irritable bowel diseases, obesity, and other chronic diseases. Interestingly, each of us has a different ‘proﬁle’ of gut bacteria, meaning different types and different amounts of each type of bacteria. Many of the aspects that determine what types of bacteria live in our gut are not controlled by us—for example, whether we were born by caesarian section, the genetics and lifestyle of our parents, and environmental exposures. There are some things we can do, however, to promote healthful bacteria in our gut to optimize our health outcomes. One of those things is to eat a lot of whole, unprocessed foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Another way to encourage a thriving, happy population of bacteria in your colon is to consume fermented foods. Fermentation is the process by which bacteria and yeast convert sugar into alcohol, acids, and gas. Over time, people have ﬁgured out how to take advantage

of the fermentation process to create delicious, tangy beverages and foods. Below is a list of fermented foods to explore that your gut will thank you for. Yogurt is a commonly consumed fermented dairy product. Milk and bacteria are cultured together with heat, and over a short period of time, the milk thickens and becomes sour with the acids from the fermentation. Yogurt has two main species of bacteria, LacMovers and tobacillus and Strepalthough Shakers tococcus, sometimes more are Megan Baumler added in during processing. Many brands off yogurtt add dd ttoo much sugar to offset the sourness, so I recommend buying plain, unsweetened yogurt, and adding your own sweetness such as honey, maple syrup, jam or fruit. Yogurt can be eaten plain, mixed in smoothies, or used in baking. I recommend one eightounce serving of yogurt daily to take advantage of the calcium, protein, and beneﬁcial bacteria. Keﬁr is another fermented dairy product, although it has a greater variety of bacteria and it also contains yeast. It is not as thick as yogurt, and it can be bubbly, since the bacteria produce carbon dioxide. It also con-

tains more protein than milk itself and regular yogurt (although not as much as Greek yogurt). Flavored commercial brands have added sugar though, and none of us need more sugar in our diet. I recommend plain kefir that you can sweeten yourself at home by mixing with a little fruit or into a smoothie. Kefir is extraordinarily easy and more economical to make at home —otherwise you can find it at most grocery stores. Kombucha is a beverage made with tea, sugar, and a culture of bacteria and yeast. During the fermentation process, the bacteria and yeast consume the sugar, ultimately making it a low calorie beverage and a nice alternative to other bubbly beverages. Brewed tea (black or green) is stirred with sugar, and held at room temperature with the bacteria and yeast culture, and after several days, the tea becomes sour, bubbly, and full of probiotics. Kombucha is easy and economical to make at home, but also can increasingly be found at most stores. The most common brand is GTs, although Festival Foods, Target, and Cub carry some other local brands as well. If you are new to kombucha, plan to start by just having a couple ounces a day and working up to about 8-16 ounces per day if you observe health benefits and enjoy it. Kimchi is a fermented cabbage product that has the greatest diversity of bacteria in it, among the fermented

foods. It can be spicy or mild, depending on how it is made, and is usually served as a tasty condiment that adds exciting flair to a meal. It can be purchased or made at home. Miso is a paste made through the fermentation of soybeans. The paste is often mixed with broth to create a slightly sour soup that is rich in amino acids and probiotics. There are different types of miso paste, and I found a nice variety available at Fresh and Natural Foods. The probiotics (and potential health benefits) will be killed if the miso paste is mixed with boiling water, so be sure to follow the directions on the package. Tempeh is also a product made by fermenting soybeans although, unlike miso, tempeh is a solid, and can be used as a meat replacement because of its texture and protein content. Finally, Natto is another fermented soy product, not as well-known as miso or tempeh. The fermented soybeans contain less salt and more iron than miso, yet they have a bit of a slimy texture and stronger sour flavor. Natto is typically eaten at breakfast mixed with eggs, or on top of salad. Feed your gut bacteria by regularly consuming a variety of fermented food products. They will thank you for it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Attempt at annexation Why pay for a movie when you can enjoy live drama at Grant City Hall? Take Sept. 6, for example. A petition submitted by resident Rose Pohl requested support for detaching her property from Grant and annexing it to Dellwood; she hoped that Dellwood would then allow development of it. That the council would not support her petition seemed obvious. A prime reason Grant became a city was to prevent chunks from being nibbled off, but ... Enter Councilman Larry Lanoux, who had somehow learned that Pohl’s agent had communications in the past with mayor/realtor Tom Carr about possible sale of the property. Lanoux claimed Carr’s involvement in the present discussion was a conflict of interest, and demanded that neither Carr nor Councilman Jeff Huber vote on the matter. He persisted despite City Attorney Nick Vivian’s explanation of conflict of interest. Lanoux’s demand failed; no contract exists involving Carr and the property, and Huber has had no involvement. The resolution opposing the annexation eventually went forward, but not before Lanoux oddly tried to delete a second provision about the city resisting the annexation should Dellwood support it. Lanoux failed again, and the resolution with both provisions passed 5-0. Who knows how the vote would have gone with Carr and Huber not voting? One may wonder about: (1) The timing of the petition, arising shortly before the election in which Pohl’s daughter Shannon Pohl Bryant is Lanoux’s favored mayoral candidate; (2) How Councilman Lanoux became so well informed about Carr’s emails; (3) Lanoux’s opposition to the provision reinforcing Grant’s opposition to the annexation; and (4) Whether the motives for the petition are more political than fi nancial. Lanoux and friends act disinterested about the upcoming election, but Bryant has been allied with Lanoux on his war with the school boards, and her campaign reads as if written by Lanoux. If in November even one candidate other than Huber, Kaup and Carr is elected, Lanoux will be running the city. Grant voters, District 832 and 834 parents, and Charter opposition — beware.

A thank you from summer intern Thank you, Press Publications, for welcoming me and making my summer a truly memorable experience. I was very nervous about being an intern at Press Publications at fi rst, but I soon grew to love being a part of the staff and spending time with everyone. I cannot thank you all enough —especially Sara, Carter, and all the other editors and reporters I worked with including Debra, Shannon and Jackie. I learned a lot while I worked with all of you, and none of you ever hesitated to give me advice, whether it was for the article I was working on, or even college or my journalism career in general. I really appreciate the warm welcome and even more wonderful work experience you all gave me this summer and I wish you all the best in the future, with the amazing work that you do.

Work on township budget looking up with downward trend BY LOUISE ERNEWEIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — No one could call the annual budget and property tax levy a rush job. Behind the scenes, work has been ongoing since midwinter. A preliminary levy was set at the March 8 annual town meeting. At the most recent White Bear Township meeting on Sept. 7, further action was taken in the shape of a resolution to reduce the property tax down from the initial $3,445,000, to an amount not to exceed $3,270,000. In another piece of good news for residents, the board supervisors voted to use available funds to pay off a bond (the 2011C tax increment refunding bond), removing the need for an additional debt levy of $21,200. It's the second straight year the township has elected to pay off a bond rather than levy residents. "We could retain that levy, but here's an opportunity to reduce the tax burden on the property owner," said Board Chair Bob Kermes. Now, the budget process wheels keep turning until the town's special meeting in December, although the amount set

last Monday will be the figure used in the county's letters which go out to homeowners in November. "As we work through our budget process into December, hopefully we will fi nd ways to lower this [number] even further before the budget meeting," said Tom Kelly, the town's fi nance officer. In other action at the Sept. 7 meeting, the town board: • Approved bow hunt permits for Ramsey County Parks and Recreation at Poplar Lake (Oct. 7-9, 28-30) and the land south of Benson Airport (same dates); for Brady, Jessica and Arnold Anderson at 210 East County Road J (Sept. 19-Dec. 31); and for Michael Gatzke at 1386 Birchcrest Drive (Sept. 17-Dec. 23). • Approved a few clerical amendments to ordinances 8, 15 and 35 as a result of the newly adopted ordinance 87 relating to stormwater management. • Authorized the fi nal payment of $9,173 to Lametti & Sons of Hugo for work completing the township's Lift Station 7 project. • Heard that the owners of 5715 Fisher St., who this summer obtained a hobby kennel license from the township for their three dogs, had completed a yard fence required as a condition of the license.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2016

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

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • It may have been date night for the Lino Lakes woman collared for shoplifting $43 worth of mascara, eyeliner and a pair of false eyelashes at Target on County Road E the afternoon of Sept 1. The 19-year-old was cited for theft and released. • A 61-year-old Mounds View man is suspected in the theft of a weed string trimmer the afternoon of Sept. 1 from a landscaping group working in the 3600 block of Edgerton Street. An investigation continues. • A man walking his dog in the early morning hours of Sept. 2 saw movement in his car parked in his lot in the 600 block of County Road D. He approached the old ’97 Honda that had 200,000 miles on the odometer, as the

vehicle backed out, hitting him. The thief got away with the car and the victim was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital for treatment of a fractured leg. • A mom called 911 Sept. 3 to report a physical disagreement with her ex-boyfriend, the father of their 17-month old daughter. The man had stopped by to see his daughter and things between the two 20-year-olds deteriorated from there. Mom exhibited bruises, and the suspect was located and booked into the Ramsey County Jail. • Deputies responding to a report of a burglary in progress in the early morning hours of Sept. 4 in the 400 block of Oak Creek Drive were in time to see two “nervous individuals” in a vehicle leaving the area in a hurry. Deputies put a stop to that move, detaining a 24-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman, both from St.

Paul. The unoccupied home had been entered by cutting a screen and then ransacked. A car was also stolen from that address. Items found in the stolen vehicle included a purse and wallet belonging to the victims, and marijuana, a pipe and suspected narcotics. A backpack found at the scene contained the female suspect’s identification. The pair is being held in the Ramsey County Jail on felony charges of auto theft, burglary, and possession of burglary tools, narcotics and stolen property. Two vehicles broken into at nearby addresses on Oak Creek Drive and Oak Creek Terrace earlier that night are believed to involve the same suspects. • Tools valued at $173 were taken from a truck parked overnight Sept. 6 in the 4200 block of Bluebell Court. “I’m 90 percent sure I locked it,” the owner told deputies. No evidence of forced entry was found.

• Change amounting to $3 and visible in a truck parked in the 3600 block of Labore Road Sept. 7 set the owner back $300 for a new window. No suspects. • A purse belonging to a 24-year-old female and containing the usual purse stuff — driver’s license, credit cards and $2 in cash — not concealed in a vehicle parked in the lot of a fitness studio in the 900 block of County Road E — went missing the evening of Sept. 7 as a result of a broken window.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • Life got a little more complicated for a 32-year-old White Bear Lake man stopped on Bellaire Avenue Sept. 2 for a traffic violation. The 32-year-old also had a suspended driver’s license and no proof of insurance.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Officer involved in fatal shooting does office work for a week St. Anthony Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez, of Vadnais Heights, returned to work in an administrative role Aug. 15, according to statements made by the city of St. Anthony Village. Yanez was involved in the shooting death of Philando Castile during a traffic stop in Falcon Heights July 6. The city cited similar cases as its reasoning for returning Yanez to work in the office; he had been on paid administrative leave. “A return to a limited administrative employment status is similar to what other agencies have done during a pending investigation,” reads the city's statement. However, protests by community members ensued. The city announced it was returning Yanez to administrative leave Aug. 24. “The decision to change Officer Yanez’s status was made after reviewing concerns and other feedback from the community,” reads the city's statement. “Out of respect to the sensitive nature of the tragic incident and the concerns from the community, the mayor, city council and city manager have decided to make this change. Officer Yanez’s status with the department will be reviewed when the investigation process related to the incident is complete.” Sara Marie Moore

LAKE LAWSUIT: Judge wants no delays in getting to March trial FROM PAGE 1A

The judge told the parties that she is taking mandatory retirement when she turns 70 in August, 2017. "Many qualified judges could step in," Marrinan indicated. "My preference is to keep the (March 6) trial date." "If we have to go to trial using a preliminary report, we will do that. It benefits no one to delay," she added. Twenty-five days have been set aside for the trial; a length the judge feels is excessive. An attorney for the plaintiff, Katie Crosby Lehmann, told the judge she can't imagine going beyond 21 days. "We are on task and on time to be ready March 6, 2017," said the counsel for the WBLRA, which filed the lawsuit in November 2012. When the judge prodded Lehmann about the above average rainfall filling the lake, the attorney noted that White Bear Lake is still 2.5 feet below the high water mark and 1 foot below the 100-year average. "The idea it's cyclical is not credible," said Lehmann, who works for Ciresi and Conlin LLP. A new legal face was representing the DNR in the courtroom. Oliver Larson with the Attorney General's office has replaced attorney Jill Schlick Nguyen, who is now working for the DNR. Lehmann reminded those present that the suit involves a violation of Minnesota's Environmental Rights Act mainly due to groundwater pumping, and exacerbated by evaporation and precipitation. "Controlling groundwater controls lake level," she told Marrinan. "The Met Council calls groundwater use unsustainable and the DNR has known this since 1998. We are responsible to protect our natural resources. That has to be the primary concern." In a status update, the plaintiff counsel noted that the DNR is moving forward with establishing a protected elevation as required by statute; and that the restoration association is OK with the detailed reports regarding conservation efforts. Since the Legislature failed to meet the Aug. 1 deadline for funding a feasibility study on conversion to surface water (as stated in the settlement agreement), the three-year stay in the lawsuit was lifted; hence the scheduling of the trial. The judge said the lack of action by the Legislature was a "great disappointment" on this case. Assistant Commissioner Naramore told her the DNR went well beyond the settlement agreement to pull parties together to talk about the legislation. She maintained the $1.5 million bonding request for the North and East Metro Project failed due to broad op-

position from the six Phase One communities to convert to surface water and the fact augmentation was being supported by people close to the lake (Friends of White Bear Lake) and members of the plaintiff organization. "It created a difficult legislative dynamic," Naramore said. She was referring to the six communities of White Bear Lake, White Bear Township, Mahtomedi, North St. Paul, Shoreview and Vadnais Heights. Attorney Dick Allyn, co-counsel for the plaintiff with Robins, Kaplan, LLP, did not agree. "The augmentation alternative did not kill the bill," he said. "In fact, that can't be further from the truth. We ran into a headwind of community opposition, North St. Paul in particular. Augmentation came late as another solution and I don't think we supported augmentation at the detriment of Phase One. It didn't get the support it needed." The judge responded by saying augmentation would set a "very bad precedent. It would open the floodgates to other lakes in the same position."

Saputo appropriation permit Lehmann also scolded the DNR for not providing information on a change in the water appropriations permit for Saputo Dairy Foods in White Bear Lake, one of the city's largest water users. Sharing permit requests with the WBLRA was also part of the settlement agreement. "It is troublesome to have a commercial industry expand its water use at this time from 180 to 192 million gallons per year," Lehmann said. DNR General Counsel Sherry Enzler, sitting in the jury box as an observer, said the agency has tried very hard to meet the terms of the settlement. "The DNR has not viewed notice of application or request for permits by private industry as a requirement," she told the judge. "But we have provided notice (to the plaintiff.)" DNR Water Resources Section Manager Julie Ekman said she was surprised to hear Lehmann say that and explained that the permit itself was in existence for many years. She intended to follow up with staff to see when notice was sent to the WBLRA. At a Northeast Water Summit meeting in Hugo last month, Ekman told a roundtable group of city leaders that the DNR is setting up meetings with communities closest to the lake to talk to them about potential changes in permitting. There will be discussions about the possibility of suspending non-essential uses, she said.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES In action at its Sept. 6 meeting, the Mahtomedi City Council: • After a presentation from Finance Director Scott Schaefer, followed by a public hearing, approved the 2017 general fund budget of $5.5 million. General fund revenues and expenditures will increase 6.5 percent from the 2016 budget. The proposed general fund tax levy is $2.9 million — a 3 percent increase from 2016. The proposed special levy is $1.2 million — an 18 percent increase from 2016. The proposed special levy is made up of debt service for six improvement bonds from 2008 through 2016, as well as a mandated public employees retirement contribution increase of $24,000. The total levy comes to $4.1 million — a 7 percent increase from 2016. The city's portion of property tax on a $250,000 home will increase by 4 percent, or $31, from $852 to $883. The 2017 proposed levy must be certified to Washington County by Sept. 30. The City Council may lower, but not increase the amount of the proposed certified levy between Sept. 30 and Dec. 6, when it is expected to hold the Truth in Taxation hearing and adopt the final 2017 general fund budget and final levy. Council certified the 2017 preliminary levy for Washington County and scheduled a public hearing to consider the final budget approval and certification for Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. • Heard a presentation from Washington County Economic Development Director Chris Eng, who noted the need for a greater percentage of commercial and industrial use throughout the county. Job creation is needed in the county because 70 percent of residents leave the county to go to work. Commercial and industrial properties make up 11 percent of market values in Washington County, compared with 21 percent and 20 percent in Hennepin and Ramsey counties,

respectively. This is important, Eng said, because the 90 percent residential tax base expects $1.16 in services for every $1 in taxes spent. Industry, on the other hand, expects only 29 cents in services for every $1 in taxes paid. • Scheduled a public hearing at the Nov. 1 regular council meeting for the 2017-2021 capital improvement plan. • Scheduled a public hearing for Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. to consider certification of delinquent utility accounts to Washington County for collection with the 2017 property taxes. As of Aug. 31, 178 property owners owed about $125,000. • Approved the Lost Lake Villas Minor Subdivision lot line drainage and utility easement agreement and Lost Lake Villas minor subdivision development agreement. • Approved the master subscriber agreement for Minnesota Court Data Services. The agreement allows the city prosecutor to be provided with electronic access to appropriate court records and documents. The new program will provide the city with the same information as the 2010 program. • Approved the water supply agreement with the city of Willernie for the next 15 years. Mahtomedi and Willernie entered into an agreement in 1961, in which Mahtomedi was to sell Willernie water for the next 30 years. After the agreement expired, Mahtomedi continued to sell Willernie water to date. The 2016 water rates established in Mahtomedi’s fee schedule are $2.38 per unit and a $14.55 quarterly fixed charge. • Presented the five-year service award to Josh Buck, who started work for the city as a firefighter, moved up to paramedic and was promoted to captain a few months ago. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

Evaporation factor White Bear Lake is approaching a 10-year high, Ekman added, and is 3.4 feet higher than when litigation began. The DNR is attempting to determine the lake's water budget, she informed the judge, which is determined by inputs and outputs. "Evaporation is a large part of the water budget. A University of Minnesota study shows 2 feet of evaporation per year. So far, it's a big output. Precipitation is a big input," Ekman said. Preliminary results from the evaporation study on the lake show an increase from 2014 to 2015 of 230 million gallons. The difference in evaporation rate is due to the fact 2015 was warmer than 2014 with 39 more ice-free days, she explained. By way of reference, 75 million gallons is equivalent to 1 inch of elevation. The plaintiff provided U of M data that shows the lake area has had nine years of heavy rainfall since 2000, six years of average and one year of low. Five of the last six years have had precipitation levels in the top 30 percent category for annual levels. Yet despite this above average rainfall, they contend, the lake remains more than 2.5 feet below the ordinary high water level, which is 924.89 feet. "We don't know the degree to which groundwater withdrawals are affecting lake level. We don't know the correlation," Ekman said. "We hope the USGS model sheds light on that. If permits are affecting the aquifer in the model, how will we change permits? Certainly we cannot shut off the water supply. Our focus will be on water conservation, permit compliance, and water volumes." Judge Marrinan pointed out that aquifers are going dry in Kansas and Oklahoma and wanted the attorneys to remember that. Both White Bear Lake and White Bear Township attorneys indicated conservation projects are continuing. The city's counsel in the case, Monte Mills, told the judge White Bear has instituted conservation pricing with higher seasonal water rates. He also wanted to "underscore his concern about the USGS study. It is essential to have that information before proceeding with the trial," he said. Marrinan said she "liked the idea of raising water rates in summer." At the conclusion of the status reports, the judge praised both parties for doing a good job. "It is beyond your control to get the USGS study and to pass legislation. I appreciate you coming in to give us a sense of where we are at this point."

Strip mall backs down on brewery proposal BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — The City Council approved storage, warehousing and nonprofit organizations as potential tenants for three empty spots behind the Vadnais Square strip mall at a meeting Sept. 7. Breweries, proposed by the strip mall at the council's last meeting, were no longer requested. Several council members and community members had expressed concern about breweries, brewpubs and the like behind the strip mall at an Aug. 17 meeting. But that concern is over now that the strip mall changed its mind on what to propose as uses for the empty spaces. The two larger spaces behind Fresh Thyme and Pet Supplies Plus were created because neither tenant wanted that much space. Previous tenant Festival Foods had a large amount of warehousing space, reported Jeff Hagen of Platinum Properties. “We ended up with this space due to retenantization,” Hagen said. “We'd like to be ready to put some new tenants there.” The council did approve additional uses of those spots and another smaller one behind Dollar Tree. The spaces were previously only approved for storage use. City Council rezoned those three spaces to allow for mixed light industrial use. The spaces could include commercial storage, such as storage of fixtures, equipment or grounds-keeping equipment, like snowplows, reported

Mary Matze, consulting planner. The spaces could also include warehousing distribution, including on-site manufacturing but not on-site distribution. Nonprofits could also use the space, but without on-site distribution and could not receive donations on-site from the public. Vadnais Square has had inquiries about using the space and asked to rezone the space in order to fully market it. Merrick, a local nonprofit, hopes to use a space temporarily for staging its gala this fall. Vadnais Square offered the space to them for free. “I would ask the council to do whatever it takes to approve at least a temporary use,” said Karen Herrera, development and communications director. Merrick should be able to pursue using the space this fall since nonprofit use was approved. Vadnais Square was sold to Dakota Reed about a month ago. Longtime property manager Hagen was tasked with filling the remaining spaces as part of the deal, even though the mall has a new property manager, Cushman and Wakefield. Hagen also reported he and coworkers cleaned up the foliage and fence behind the strip mall after residents complained about it at the Aug. 17 meeting. Hagen said he let the foliage grow to keep a thick barrier and had been unaware of the disappointment. He reported Platinum Properties wanted to clean it up even though it is no longer the property manager.

MY STORY: There on 9/11 FROM PAGE 1A

pressed and scared to go back to the city. When I got back, I slept at my friend Zach’s dorm room in China Town and one night with my friend Gretchen on St. Marks Place. I spent a few nights in the tanning salon. I slept on a tanning bed and made a blanket out of hand towels and mailing tape; it was heavy and warm. The tanning salon became my home base. My parents called desperate and upset. No one was allowed out of Manhattan or in. They couldn’t come to my rescue. They asked me what I wanted and needed. I told them I just want sneakers. … I wanted to jog; it was therapeutic. They mailed me care packages to the salon. I didn’t want to spend my $50 bill. I needed a charger for my phone, but refused to spend my money because I didn’t know how much time would pass before I got to go home. I was forced to walk to Radio Shack and ask them if they would let me charge my phone. It wasn’t until one week after the towers fell that NYU got us housing. They put us up in the Sheraton Hotel in Times Square. They gave us $300 to buy clothes. We didn’t know when we could return to our dorm on Water Street. They were worried about the structure of the building and asbestos. They sent in environmentalists to empty our refrigerators and check for asbestos. I made friends with the people at the Sheraton Hotel. They upgraded me so I could use the gym and eat breakfast daily in the penthouse. After breakfast I would go to the gym to run. … I was so stressed all I wanted to do was jog. At the end of my run, I would take a complimentary USA Today newspaper and hide an abundance of complimentary fruit in it. That is what

I would eat for the remainder of the day. For the next week I filled up on apples and oranges until I was allowed to go back to Water Street. I hated riding the subway. It was eerie and sad. Everyone riding the train was silent. We all just looked at one another in the cars and wondered if the person next to you lost someone. When you saw the firefighters ride the cars … they smelled of burnt rubber. You wondered what they found that day on their shift or if they lost someone. You felt horrible for everyone. The subway stations became a gallery for missing person signs. Thousands of families posted pictures and bios of loved ones that went missing. There wasn’t enough wall space for all those who had vanished. I remember returning to my apartment for the first time after two weeks. The subway ride was long. It went under the World Trade Center and the subway platforms were blocked off with yellow tape. I exited the subway station and as I walked down the block to the Water Street Apartment entrance there were men in Army uniforms with machine guns posted on every corner. I had to sign in when I arrived because they were taking a head count to make sure we were accounted for. When I got up to my room, my laundry was still hanging on the drying rack. My computer was on my desk … but stuff was missing; cash, jewelry and my camera. As I asked around, other students were missing stuff as well. It turned out that the “environmentalists” cleaning out our refrigerators looted our apartments. If we had receipts, NYU reimbursed us. The smell was too intense downtown. I chose to go uptown to the Sheraton and stay for a couple more days. It was too much for me to be downtown.

person signs did not go away. I remember when I left NYC for the first time after 9/11 for Christmas vacation; I drove over the Brooklyn Bridge to go to La Guardia and I sobbed as I looked out my taxi window at the skyline and how it had changed. Today, my name is Brooke Hennessey. I’m from Forest Lake, and moved home after calling NYC my home for 11 years. I really never liked to share my story. When people asked me about 9/11, I would get quiet and try to talk my way into a new topic. Being that it is the 15-year anniversary, I feel it is important to tell our stories. It is important not to forget. It is important to remember in homage of those who lost their lives, those who helped the victims, those who fought for our country. Everyone remembers where they were on 9/11. The anniversary is the day to tell your story of where you were when the towers fell. This is my story. Brooke E. Hennessey lives in White Bear Lake and is the On-premise Sales Director for World Class Wines in Minneapolis. She said she always gets nostalgic around Sept. 11 and decided to pen her recollections of this horrific event for the anniversary.

Mahtomedi construction to end just in time for winter BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — As most Twin Cities residents may have observed, the gap between summer road construction and winter snow obstruction seems to be getting smaller all the time. Just when motorists and walkers around Mahtomedi think they might hit the sweet spot of maneuverability in the fall, along come three projects that are expected to end right before the snow and ice hit. Common sense and most city engineers will tell you that fall is the best time of year to accelerate and finish projects before winter sets in. Fall weather also brings less rain before the frost sets into the ground. For projects that take only a few weeks, fall can also be an auspicious time to start them, because it may be the time of year to obtain the best bids on projects. Mahtomedi’s fall projects include:

Katherine Abbot Park After the city saw wildly different bids on the Katherine Abbott Park Improvement Project, Assistant City Engineer Chris LaBounty noted at the Sept. 6 City Council meeting that not all contractors are in the same place when looking for more work toward the end of the construction season. “Some contractors are aggressive when looking for work in the fall,” LaBounty said. For example, council awarded the Katherine Abbott Park Improvements Phase 1 contract to low bidder Fitzgerald Excavating and Trucking of Goodhue for $152,000. There were five bids for the project, with the highest at $222,200. The winning bid, which came in below the budget allowed in the city’s capital improvement plan, will be financed through from the park fund. The project will be completed in two phases. Phase 1 will include improvements to an accessible wood chipped trail loop already

located in the center of the park, along with removal of a staircase, and the north loop trail leading out of the park onto Edith Drive. Phase 2 will include access to the Public Works Department parking lot; a western wetland loop parallel to Long Lake Road and a foot trail boardwalk at the south end of the park. The city is still looking for competitive bids for the last alternative. Work on Phase 1 is expected to begin by late September and finish by Halloween. Phase 2 of the park improvements are not expected to begin until 2018.

23, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. each day. The northbound detour will run from Highway 244 to eastbound Stillwater Road to northbound Warner Avenue to westbound Maple Street. The southbound detour will run along the same roads in the opposite direction. Mahtomedi Avenue is expected to remain open during rush hour. Residents with school bus stops in the area should check with the school district on how their bus stops will be affected. The good news is that work is expected to last only that one week.

Completion of Piccadilly Square Historic District A project that will impact more people will be the Phase 2 Historic District improvement detour planned for Mahtomedi Avenue between Hickory and Iris Streets. Construction in the right of way will include a storm sewer on Hickory Street and water connections on Iris Street. That section of Highway 244, including both intersections, will close from Monday, Sept. 19 through Friday, Sept.

Construction on Piccadilly Square is expected to culminate this fall with the official opening on Oct. 1, said City Administrator Scott Neilson. To date, 33 units have been pre-leased and 12 more units are due to be leased by Oct. 1. According to Neilson, full occupancy of the 79-unit affordable senior housing complex, located at 70 Mahtomedi Ave., is expected within six months.

League of Women Voters WBLA completes open meeting study The League of Women Voters White Bear Lake Area has released its study: “How Open is Your Local Government?” The study looks at how well local municipalities complied with Minnesota Open Meeting laws. League volunteers studied council meetings in 27 cities and four townships throughout the northeast metro. The study, lasting two years and headed by Mary Santi of White Bear Lake, was conducted by LWV members who observed and evaluated public meetings, and then contacted town clerks for follow-up information. The study reports that all observed

municipalities complied with state law. Most municipalities go beyond legal requirements to provide citizens with meeting agendas and minutes, and many make meetings available via live stream or on cable television. While state law does not require them to do so, many councils promoted openness by allowing time for public comment. Compared to most other states, the Minnesota statute does not require much, but does state that a schedule of regular council meetings must be available, special meeting dates must be posted three days prior, and notice of an emergency meeting must be provid-

ed. At least one copy of any materials used by council members must be available for public view, and votes must be recorded and kept in a journal also available to the public. Volunteers also evaluated facilities (e.g., public space, handicapped accessibility, cleanliness, sufficient seating, adequate audio-visual resources, etc.) as well as the proceedings themselves. Although the Open Meeting Law does not address decorum, most meetings were conducted in a professional manner and council and board members appeared attentive and well prepared. There were several instances where observers noted decorum issues

which affected the ability of the local council or board to serve its constituents effectively. Those wishing to read the full report can fi nd it in the LWV Clearinghouse of local studies: https://sites. google.com/a/leagueofwomenvoters. org/clearinghouse.

Maplewood and YMCA in discussions regarding community center MAPLEWOOD — The city of Maplewood and the YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities are in discussions regarding the operations of the Maplewood Community Center (MCC). This would be an expansion of a partnership started last year in which the YMCA began managing the MCC’s aquatics operations. Since it opened more than 20 years ago, the MCC has provided fi rst swimming lessons to thousands of children, conducted training for lifeguards, and provided a fi rst yoga class for adults. In addition, children have blown out birthday candles, brides and grooms have sliced wedding cakes and the theater has hosted countless performances. The MCC has provided the city with many educational, enrichment and engagement activities, but it has come at a great fi nancial cost. In addition to the facility’s yearly deficit of about $450,000, currently the MCC needs significant maintenance work and improvements. The city has spent several months looking at ways to

make the MCC fi nancially stronger, while also maintaining its commitment to the community. After exploring several options, the city is discussing entering into an agreement with the YMCA to take over the MCC’s operations. “Our goal throughout this process has been to build a stronger future for a valuable community asset,” said Mayor Nora Slawik. “Our partnership with the YMCA means the MCC will offer more classes and opportunities for our residents.” There will be a number of benefits to the community and residents in the agreement with the YMCA, including: • The city and the YMCA will jointly fund a capital improvement fund. • The YMCA will take full control of the facility’s operational risk. • Instead of continuing to fund the MCC’s deficit, the city will fund park improvements. • Residents will retain access to special

•

pricing and will be able to upgrade their memberships to access YMCAs throughout the Twin Cities. Seniors who qualify for health insurance-funded memberships at the MCC will automatically gain access to YMCAs across the Twin Cities. The YMCA will seek to retain as many current Maplewood Community Center employees as possible, and the city is also working to retain the full-time Community Center employees in other capacities.

LOOKING BACK Week of September 11 – September 17, 2016 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.

1916 Preparations are being made for an extensive improvement on Lake Avenue, an improvement badly needed. Tons of crushed stone and barrels of tar are being placed by the roadside to be ready when the surfacers come and it is to be hoped they will come soon, for the present condition of the avenue from Clark to Bald Eagle avenues makes it a disagreeable piece of road to drive over.

1941 Cyclone hits White Bear Lake-the people of White Bear are gradually coming out of their dazed conditions wrought by the storm of Thursday, the 4th. For those who homes were completed destroyed, it has been difficult to find shelter. Streets formerly arched with stately oaks and elms, now show irregular patches of open space, with great limbs gone or wrecked tops.

1966 A new program that will give more freedom to senior high

students for independent study was approved last week by the White Bear Lake District 624 School board. Under the program, students will be released from study hall to work independently in the library, science labs, industrial arts shops, language labs or on business machines. At first, the program will be limited to honor students, but if it works out well it will be expanded…

1991 LeRoy and Louise C. (Marier) Parenteau will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary on September 12. Longtime residents of White Bear Township, LeRoy and Louise have nine children. They will attend 11:00 a.m. Mass at St. Mary’s Church in White Bear Lake following by a family brunch at the White Bear Country Inn on Sunday, September 13…

OBITUARY NOTICES

Edwin “Eddie” Bruce Chenevert Age 75, of North Branch, Minnesota, went to be with the Lord on Friday, September 2, 2016. Eddie was born December 28, 1940 in Emily, Minnesota to Philip and Mabel (Haarberg) Chenevert. After graduating from Remer High School in 1958, Eddie spent some time working with his father logging in northern Minnesota. He then moved to Chicago, Illinois where he worked at a window, sash and door manufacturing company. In 1961 Eddie returned to marry the love of his life Barbara Louise Resler on January 19, 1961 in Marble, Minnesota. Starting their married life together, Eddie and Barb were both employed at Minnewawa Lodge in Nisswa, Minnesota. After starting a family, they moved to Forest Lake in 1967 where Eddie was employed as a mechanic at Vadnais Motors in White Bear Lake. In 1970 he moved his growing family of five to North Branch where he continued to work for Vadnais Motors until 1991 when he joined Northwest Airlines; working there until his retirement in 2005. Eddie enjoyed motorcycling, working on projects in and around the home and traveling. Visiting the Ozark region was a favorite destination of Eddie and Barb. After purchasing a 2nd home along the shores of Bull Shoals lake in Arkansas, he made regular trips between Minnesota and there. Eddie enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren but most of all; he was a devoted husband to his wife Barbara for over 55 years. Eddie will be dearly missed by his family and friends. Edwin Bruce Chenevert is survived by his three sons, Jeff (Pamela) Chenevert, Wayne Chenevert and Brian Chenevert; four grandchildren (Melissa (Christopher) Engel, Nolan (Jessica Chenevert, Hope Chenevert & Josh Chenevert; 3 great grandchildren (Taylor & Brady Engel and Barrett Chenevert), his sister Phylis (Veryl) Fletcher, brother Vernon (Mary Lou) Chenevert, sister Mavis (Jerry) Berry and many nieces and nephews.

Jon Yurk officiating. Family interment will take place at a later date.

Donna Jean (Stowell) Engel Donna Jean was born on December 12, 1945, in Britton, South Dakota. She married the only love of her life, Ward Allen Engel, on May 28, 1967, in Groton, South Dakota. Together they managed a successful financial services firm for 47 years. Donna loved traveling in their motorhome, gardening, singing and playing tennis and games. Being very creative, she also enjoyed sewing, painting and decorating. However, her truest joy was loving and spending time with her family and friends. On Saturday, August 27, 2016, she peacefully went to her heavenly home with her family by her side. She faced her 12-year ovarian cancer battle with an unshakeable faith, courageous determination and a positive outlook. Donna was preceded in death by her parents, Gordon Earl and Vivian Mae (Hatcher) Stowell. She is survived by her husband, Ward; children Dawn (Eric) Bartsch and Shawn (Gwendolyn) Engel; granddaughters Faith, Kayla, Kristiana and Kaitlyn; brothers Charles (Shirley), Dalton (Cynthia Stock) and Darryl Stowell; and many nieces and nephews. Although she will be deeply missed, her family is comforted in knowing that through faith in Jesus, our separation is only temporary.

Are you looking for that PERFECT T RAINING RUN for your FALL MARAT HON? THE 16TH ANNUAL BEAR WATER RUN

White Bear Lake football lost to Forest Lake 20-14 on Friday as the Rangers snapped a 41-game losing streak. Bear quarterback Tristin Dacus hit 19 of 33 passes for 190 yards and Jessiah Majest rushed 27 times for 129 yards.

After the Bears gave up touchdowns on a run and a punt return to fall behind 14-0, Dacus pulled them even with TD passes to James Woods (five yards) and Charlie Wachtler (11 yards) and a two-point conversion run.

Forest Lake regained the lead when Mitch Jerde passed to Charlie Payne for a 28-yard score in the third period. The Bears had an apparent touchdown late in the fourth quarter nullified by a penalty. Bruce Strand

White Bear Lake girls swimming has opened with two wins, 93-85 over Tartan and 106-80 over Roseville Area, along with a third-place finish in a four-team Duluth East meet. “We have exceeded our expectations to start this season,” said coach Jake Mueller. The coach cited “outstanding races and dives” by Ainsley Durand, Natalie Weier, Bella Schulz, Cristina Sherman, Caitlin Trobec, Riley Ebbert, Madysen Peterson, Meg Schaefer, Sydney MacDonald, and Melanie Vinson. Returning varsity veterans making solid contributions are swimmers Madison Beck, Bailey Letourneau, Calista Hughes, Madison Loppnow, Kira Birdsall, Aidan O'Neil, and Grace Johnson, and divers Kayla Mulder and Kayla Reedy. Mueller added that several girls new to the program have added to varsity and JV depth, and two new coaches are helping sharpen skills: Natalie Strauss (swimming) and Harry Baden (diving).

Mahtomedi gridders cruise in first two weeks BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mahtomedi football has ridden a stout defense and the Andy Praml-to-Andy Voyen aerial connection to victories over St. Thomas Academy 19-7 and Tartan 31-0 to start the season. Voyen caught 11 passes for 136 yards including a 54-yard touchdown against the Cadets, with Praml 13-for-26 for 149 yards. Jalen Frye rushed for 102 yards and T.J. Tumbleson for 73 yards with a 23-yard TD. Chase Sullivan booted a 26-yard field goal. The defense made eight tackles-for-loss with Bob Putney and Graham Devore leading the mayhem. Evan Reyes intercepted a pass. “Our defense played a whale of a game, because they (St. Thomas) have a good offense,” coach David Muetel said. Against Tartan, Praml hit Voyen for a 30-yard score and the next three TDs were runs by T.J. Tumbleson (two yards), Frye (48 yards) and Praml (one yard). Sullivan booted a 32-yard field goal. The Zephyr defense made it easy with the shutout.

Woods and Water Notebook: Sandhill cranes BY JIM MORTWEDT CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A pair of rufous sandhill cranes overflew me a day or so ago, their loud and rattling cries so singular. Their wings beat slowly downward, then seem to snap upward.They were headed toward the St. Croix River low and fast. But I've been told they can fly a mile high. One source said they've been documented at 8,000 feet above ground! I determined then and there that I would make an effort at a pilgrimage to the Platte River. Haven't done that before. The Platte is only a seven-hour drive from the St. Croix Valley. Though cranes certainly stop there under autumn skies, the greater gathering is in the spring. When the large birds go south for the winter, most stay domestic, some go no further than the midSouth, some cross into Mexico. The fall migration is more scattered and subtle, and some will like that. A time or two I've seen Canada geese so numerous they darkened the autumn horizon near the Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin. But the sight of a red fall sunset crossed by dozens of gangly but graceful cranes would be prize enough to risk an early blizzard barreling out of

Colorado's Front Range. So maybe I'll watch the weather and head down there come October and peak fall migration. Or maybe I'll wait for the more spectacular spring gathering starting in February-March when hundreds of thousands flock to the Platte. Thankfully, these birds have become numerous again. I saw several pairs one sunset maybe two months ago in a field on the north side of Highway 96 between Scandia and Forest Lake. One ran a bit to launch itself, then the other did the same and the remaining pairs stayed to feed. I was coming back from a Twins game after having made an early exit. The sandhill cranes were done laying eggs by that point in the season; the Twins weren't. Mom and pop both tend the nest. Incubation is a month and the young emerge well developed, which may be why they're called colts. Or maybe it's those spindly legs. They mate for life and that can be a 20-year-plus partnership. The female lays just two eggs a year and on average, one survives to adulthood, usually maturing to breed at about age 5-7, though earlier is possible. It's that one-bird-a-year rate of effective reproduction that so retards

population growth. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act, ending most crane hunting and capture, was passed in 1918 and only in recent decades have wildlife experts been assured that the sandhill crane is fully back. They are elegant. "Nobility, won in the march of eons," Aldo Leopoldo wrote. Leopold could be gloomy about conservation back in his day. He died in 1948 but left an impressive legacy in his books. I think it could be said of him that he did more for the cranes — sandhill and whooping — than anyone else. On top of that, he could turn a phrase. Here's Leopold on the closely related whooping crane, which is whiter, some-

what larger, with a greater liking for watery habitat, and rare. "On motionless wing they emerge from the lifting mists, sweep a final arc of sky, and settle in clangorous descending spirals to their feeding grounds. A new day has begun on the crane marsh." Worth noting: Northwest Minnesota has substantial sandhill crane staging grounds where the birds assemble before heading south. They're a gregarious bird and go from staging ground to destination only after an instinctual get-together. So consider catching their act here in Minnesota. See if somehow that answers your instincts.

1.Start Budgeting: If you are struggling with handling your finances, then you likely need to start budgeting. Your budget is your best tool to change your financial future. If you are not already budgeting each month, you need to set up a budget now. If you have a budget, but it is not working, take the time to figure out how to fix your budget so you can start to make your money work for you. 2. Cut Your Monthly Bills: An easy thing you can do to change your financial picture is to cut your monthly bills. This can be done with a few options from lowering your utility costs to choosing different providers for your insurance and other services. Take the time now to cut at least one of your bills for the next few months. 3. Cancel Cable: If you feel like your spending is out of control or you just want to reach your financial goals more quickly, you should consider cutting cable. There are a number of alternatives that allow you to watch the shows you love without spending a ton each month to do it. There are even options if you do not want to give up your sports challenges. 4. Stop Eating Out: One of the bggest ways to waste your money is by eating out. The occasional splurge may be okay, but the savings can add up if you start cooking at home instead of eating out each day. Take the challenge to stop eating out by cooking at home for at least a week. The next week, start taking your lunches to work. You may be surprised at just how much you can save. 5. Read a Book About Personal Finances: If you want to change something about your finances, but you are not sure where to start, you should consider reading a book about the subject. If you want to get out of debt, you should check out The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. Your Money or Your Life is another great read that helps you look at the way you handle your money differently. 6. Learn About Investing: One of the key steps to building wealth is to start investing. If the idea of investing intimidates you then start learning about. Enroll in a class about investing or try out a program or app that lets you practice investing while you are working out of debt. You can also find a financial advisor who can help you understand the market. 7. Set Tangible Realistic Goals: Take the time to set goals that you are working toward. If you do not have specific things that you are working for, it is difficult to motivate yourself to keep saving each month. As you set your goals make sure that they are realistic. You do not want to get discouraged because you want to pay off $40,000 in debt in just a year when you only make $30,000. Make a way to track your goals so that you can see how much you have accomplished. This can help you stay on track when you are working on a long-term goal. 8. Set Up a Financial Plan: A financial plan is essential if you want to accomplish specific goals. Your financial plan will set up a timeline for the big milestones in your life. It will also help you prioritize your goals, since it is often more effective to focus on one or two goals at a time. This plan should include things like buying a home, saving for retirement, and paying for your kids’ college education. 9. Pay Off Your Debt: One of the most foolish things you can do is to carry a lot of debt, especially credit card debt. If you want to change your financial picture and gain more financial opportunities, you need to work on paying off your debt as quickly as possible. Set up a debt payment plan today and set goals that can help you pay it off as quickly as possible. 10. Stop Using Your Credit Cards: If you are struggling to make ends each month, you may be relying on your credit cards to get by. However, if you really want to change your financial picture, you need to stop using your credit cards. If you keep putting money on your cards, you will end up owing more and more each month and limiting how much money you have available to you. Leave your credit cards at home, and get control of your budget so that you can start to change your financial picture.

These are basically short, video documentaries of a person’s life that can be handed down from generation to generation. They are a wonderful way to capture the entirety of someone’s life on video to be enjoyed for years to come by children, grand-children and beyond. “I do a lot of entertain-
