Hemp: a new (old) cash crop BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Industrial hemp is not your everyday marijuana plant. Although it looks like marijuana, hemp contains a low level of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), so there are no psychoactive properties. THC is the active chemical in cannabis that produces the “high” associated with smoking marijuana. About 18 hemp plants are growing in a front yard along Hwy. 96 on the north end of

White Bear Lake. They're easy to spot. In fact, the guy growing them has fielded many questions from passersby, including Ramsey County deputies, curious about the well-exposed plants. “People honk and cheer. Joggers stop and ask questions. It's been a great marketing tool,” said John Dugas, a microbiologist now working in the hemp business. Two years ago, Dugas founded an extraction company for industrial hemp called Superior Extractions on White

Bear Parkway. He processes hemp plants in his laboratory, extracting the oil to make high-purity cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD. The versatile oil is used in skin creams, soap and vaping products, but mostly it serves a medicinal purpose for issues like pain management, anxiety, insomnia and inflammation. Hemp plants are the same species of marijuana but legally contain less than 0.3% THC, SEE INDUSTRIAL HEMP, PAGE 9A

Higher home values, higher property taxes

Fish schooling At right: St. Jude of the Lake student Daelan Hinderks pours a cup full of fledgling Tilapia into a large holding tank at the school Friday, Sept. 13. The students took turns introducing the more than 170 fish, which were delivered to the school as part of a new aquaponics project, to their new home in the science classroom.

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — It's tax levy time again. State statutes require municipalities to certify a preliminary tax levy to their county in September of each year. The preliminary levy is used to develop property tax statements mailed by the county to property owners mid to late November. City Council OK'd the $6.9 million proposed 2019 tax levy, collectible in 2020, at its Sept. 10 meeting. The levy funds just over half of the city's general fund operations, as well as a portion of its debt obligation. The levy amount is $563,000 higher than last year, which accounts for a $482,000 increase in the general fund budget and $81,000 increase in debt service for the 2019 street reconstruction bond. The general fund pays for public safety (almost half the expenditures), public works, engineering, parks, planning and code enforcement and general governmental expenses. The general fund is one-third of the city's entire budget but has the most impact on the levy. Expenditures are budgeted at $11.9 million for the general fund in 2020, an increase of $587,500. A major portion of the increase, or 83%, is due to personnel costs — things like health insurance, worker's compensation and a 3% wage increase. A new police officer is also budgeted next year.

Impact on property taxes

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Above: Finnley Maas pours a final pitcher of Tilapia into a circulating water tank that is part of the aquaponics system at St. Jude of the Lake Catholic school in Mahtomedi. The aquaponics system combines aquaculture, raising fish in a controlled environment, with hydroponics, growing plants without soil. In a collaborative, hands-on STEM learning experience, the students will raise both fish and vegetables that will be harvested later in the school year.

Overall, property values increased 6.9% in White Bear Lake, and totaled $189 million in market value. As Finance Director Kerri Kindsvater pointed out, the growth in residential property value increases a homeowner's tax liability. On average, home values increased 9.3% with some homes jumping 17%. Median home value for 2020 is $243,100, $20,600 higher than last year. In the case of a median home, the city tax is $467.10. SEE TAX LEVY, PAGE 9A

Summer vacation

ith school fast approaching we took advantage of cheap airfare and booked a spur-of-the-moment trip to San Francisco for a long weekend in August. Amy and I had been there before, but it was the first time with our kids. We stayed in the Fisherman’s Wharf area, which was a good landing spot for getting around the city. Our first day we hopped on a historic cable car to explore Union Square and Chinatown. We walked Lombard Street, Ghirardelli Square and watched the sea lions and street performers at Pier 39. We had hoped to go to Alcatraz, which is operated under a contract granted by the National Park Service, but learned that we would have had to book the tour 45-60 days in advance. They no longer even fill last-minute spots for no-shows. The next day we rented bikes and rode across the Golden Gate bridge. Publisher’s The guy at the rental place suggested that we ride into the little town of View Sausalito on the other side of the Carter Johnson bridge for lunch. From there we could either ride back or hop on a ferry with our bikes. The ride across the bridge was pretty treacherous due to construction and the number of inexperienced tourists riding bikes along a two-way, narrow path; it is a bit challenging as the start has a good hill climb to the bridge. The rest of the trip is primarily downhill. The wind and fog can be damp and brisk. For those reasons, we opted to take the ferry back across the Bay. On day three we rented a car and drove up to Sonoma County and stayed for two nights along the coast in Bodega Bay. We walked the beach, toured a sustainable vineyard, and hiked through the giant redwoods at Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve – free admission unlike the more popular National Park Muir Woods, and, in my opinion, it was better, as we walked into a nearly silent forest. The Redwoods can live to 2,000 years and stand 379.3 feet tall - the world tallest living thing. While the area is known for farming and is best known for wine production, we especially enjoyed the local restaurants, bakeries and side of the road cafes. A couple of things to keep in mind when planning a summer trip to the San Francisco area. Plan ahead and bring warm layers like sweatshirts or jackets. The fog hovers over the city and along the coast and it can be cool. Consider renting electric scooters or bikes to get around and better navigate the steep hills. For us, the trip provided the family togetherness we needed at the end of a summer where everyone seemed to go different directions. Honey Last year I wrote about learning how to become a beekeeper. Our family has had help from countless friends and neighbors in our beekeeping endeavor. It has been an interesting new hobby. My daughter, son and a neighbor have been involved with me and each of us has been stung a few times. Our first season was exciting because of so many unknowns. As fall approached last year it was clear the bees didn’t produce any honey, which was disappointing. We gave it another try this spring and bought two nuc (starter bee set of four frames of bees and a queen). This past weekend another beekeeping friend and I spun our frames and my family ended up with three gallons or about 36 pounds. If you’re looking to take on a new hobby or helping out your gardens, try your hand at beekeeping. Round up a few friends or neighbors, find a mentor, look for used equipment and start your hives in the spring of 2020. I can envision where keeping bees could become like community gardens within neighborhoods. Remember to check with your local municipality to make sure bees are legal in your area, and invest in a good beekeeper’s suit. A beekeeping friend reminds me of her great mentor Winnie the Pooh, who says, “You never can tell with bees.” The reward, though, is sweet. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

Time to legalize sports betting

all is a great time for even the most casual of sports fans. New seasons of college football and the NFL are under way, and we are in the midst of the best part of the Major League Baseball season. New seasons for the NHL and NBA will be starting soon. Many fans ﬁnd an extra bit of enjoyment by placing a small wager on their favorite teams.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Teens welcome at TreeHouse

Every teenager needs an upbeat place where they can feel safe and cared for. A place where they can talk about the issues that matter most to them, a place where they belong, and a place where they can connect with their peers and caring adults. At the Mahtomedi TreeHouse, we are on a mission to end hopelessness among teens, and let every one of our teens know they are lovable, capable and worthwhile. Teens face a wide array of issues, and hopelessness doesn’t look the same to any two teens—it could be that their significant other broke up with them, it could be drug use, it could be academic troubles, depression or bullying in school. The common thread is that at TreeHouse, we provide a place for teens to fi nd self-confidence, form healthy relationships and, most importantly, believe in the fundamental truth that they matter. What I’ve seen is teenagers grow tremendously after coming to TreeHouse—and possibly no greater example was earlier this spring when we were driving and came across a young woman on an overpass about to jump. My TreeHouse teens didn’t hesitate. They jumped out of our vehicle, helped pull her down as she sobbed, and immediately started comforting her, telling the woman she is loved and not alone. What was a traumatic event showed how much strength teenagers have. At TreeHouse, we teach hope; they in turn passed that hope along to another in need. At TreeHouse, every teen matters and we provide support groups, mentorships, service work and fun activities year round. I welcome anyone interested in finding out more to visit treehousehope.org or email me at hhall@treehousehope.org. All teens are welcome—we’d love to have you! Heidi Hall Area Director, Mahtomedi Area TreeHouse

High school enrollment numbers too high

In last week’s Press there were two articles about the upcoming vote requesting $326 million to improve and change most of the district's schools and administration

buildings. It was also suggested that if there were questions, to visit www.isd624.org/bond2019 for further information. I went there and got additional information, which actually created more questions. According to Google, White Bear Lake has approximately 2,500 high school students as of last year. If we have a growth of 25% within 10 years, as Dr. Wayne Kazmierczak predicted in the article, that would put our high school at 3,125, which would almost maximize the proposed building. Given these numbers, I started to wonder what do other schools look like? About 10 years ago Woodbury went through this discussion and decided they wanted smaller schools, so Eastridge was built. Today they have enrollments of 1,933 at Woodbury High School and 1,801 at Eastridge. I looked at other communities and here is what I found for high school enrollment numbers: Stillwater – 2,259; Tartan – 1,651; Park in Cottage Grove – 1,784; Eastview in Apple Valley – 2,207; Maple Grove – 2,295 and Wayzata – 3,436. Other than Wayzata, school sizes seem to be much smaller than what this bond proposal would suggest. It seems other districts have decided that 1,500 to 2,500 students would be better. Am I missing something? I’m all for keeping our buildings in top condition and providing our students with tools to not only succeed, but to excel. If in fact White Bear Lake hasn’t done any renovations on a secondary school since 1974 as Dr. Kazmierczak stated, I’m amazed these buildings are still standing. We must keep our buildings safe, welcoming, comfortable and a great place to learn. I’m not exactly sure how much renovations of existing buildings would cost, because it’s all mixed in with expanding North Campus. It seems to me that we have this all wrong. School sizes are too large. Renovations need much more clarification and maybe we need to step back and look this plan over and ask some tougher questions: Is our district boundary correct? Maybe we need to build schools where the growth is happening. Perhaps a priority list needs to explain what must be done ASAP and what would be nice to be done. These questions have probably been addressed by the 90 members that looked at our schools, but I don’t see anything in

Shuttering of Warner Nature Center despicable

I am writing to express how disappointed I am in the Manitou Fund and its trustees, Greg McNeely and his siblings, the sons and daughters of Don McNeely. They have decided to “shutter” the Warner Nature Center. Though Don McNeely, the fund’s creator, should be praised for his foresight and generosity in making it possible for the Lee and Rose Warner Nature Center to exist and thrive over the past 50 years, I am sure he would be extremely disappointed in the decisions of his children. There may be pressing business reasons for the change in the Manitou Fund’s objectives, but the way in which this is being accomplished is despicable. The fund has left no room for negotiation or for alternative funding plans and won’t divulge the Manitou Fund’s future plans following the closure of the Warner Nature Center. One can only assume they are planning on making additional money at the expense of the Nature Center. Though the bulk of the funds supporting Warner over the past 50 years have been from the Lee and Rose Warner Trust and the Manitou Fund, many people have directly contributed and donated to support the objectives of the Warner Nature Center. The fund’s trustees have now negated all of that. How many future generations of schoolchildren will not have the opportunity to explore the trails at Warner and gain an appreciation for the great outdoors? I suppose those same children can read about the history of Warner on their smartphones or iPad. There appears to be no way to salvage the Warner Nature Center. The Manitou Fund and its lawyers have made sure of that. I am not sure how the trustees can sleep at night. I know I couldn’t after destroying a 50-year-old institution which has done so much good and positively impacted so many lives. Paul Liedl Grant

Stopping in versus at crosswalk

In response to “Cops & Courts: White Bear drivers learn to stop for pedestrians,” Sept. 11: I’m all in to educate drivers about stopping for a pedestrian in a crosswalk, however the first sentence of the article states “All drivers stopped for pedestrians at a crosswalk...”. Stopping for pedestrians AT a crosswalk is not the law, stopping for them IN a crosswalk is. Kim Wightman White Bear Lake

Aren’t you offended?

I read Gene Johnson’s Sep. 11 editorial column multiple times to actually believe that he wrote “Our current president is really no different than many others over history.” Which other president on a daily basis has attacked mainstream media as fake news and enemy of the people or tried to suspend press passes of reporters who disagree with him or has a senior advisor who promotes alternative facts? As the editorial said, Walter Cronkite and Martin Kalb “took the risk to fight government censorship.” Wouldn’t it be nice if current members of the press weren’t endlessly denigrated by the president for doing their jobs? As a longtime owner and publisher of newspapers, how can you not be offended and concerned, Gene? Kathy Hoelscher White Bear Lake

ENDORSED LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Vote yes on bond referendum

We are proud to be longtime White Bear residents. We live in a very special community. One of our great attributes is the excellent public education kids receive in the White Bear Lake Area Schools, and the spaces in which it is provided. I truly believe that the experiences our own children received in the White Bear Lake Area Schools helped them develop into young adults who care not just about our own community, but who have an appreciation for the world around them. The academic opportunities are excellent, but the district buildings are 50 years old, on average, and need to be updated to accommodate recent and anticipated growth and to continue to provide spaces for students in a safe and secure environment. Communities benefit from their outstanding public schools; housing values are enhanced and local businesses thrive. We are excited about the enrollment increases and projections White Bear Lake Area Schools has reported to the community in recent years. Our school district is growing and we, as a community, have the opportunity to invest in the future of our students and our community by voting in favor of the bond referendum. Successful passage of the bond referendum on the Nov. 5 ballot will ensure that the students of today and tomorrow will have adequate space and quality facilities throughout the district. Please join us in voting yes to update existing school district buildings throughout the district and build new spaces to address growing enrollment needs. Jim and Lori Rathburn White Bear Lake

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff’s Office reported the following selected incidents: • A suspicious noise that sounded like a paint ball gun reported at 2:15 a.m. Aug. 11 in the 15000 block of Forest Blvd. N. turned out to be fi reworks to the northeast of the area. When Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies arrived on the scene, they found a male outside his residence who pointed out the fi reworks, which he said were just visible above the tree line. • An East Bethel man, 51, was cited by southbound deputies on routine patrol at 8:23 p.m. Aug. 11 on northbound Forest Blvd. N. and 159th Street N. for speeding 51 mph in a 35 mph zone and for semaphore violation. While deputies had the

radar gun trained on the motorist, they simultaneously were able to observe the speed at which he ran through the red light. Deputies had to conduct a traffic stop to retrieve the license plate number, as it was hidden behind the boat towed behind the vehicle. The driver's excuses for speeding and running the red light were as follows: “I thought the speed limit was 45 and at the light I had a choice to make and I made it.” Deputies quickly advised the motorist that he was spared being in even bigger trouble because when deputies first spotted him speeding, he had just passed the construction cones so he wasn’t cited for speeding within the construction zone. • A Mahtomedi man, 22, was arrested at 11:20 p.m. Aug. 12 on Highway

61 just south of 170th Street N. for possessing and consuming alcohol from an open bottle in a motor vehicle, driving on an expired driver's license and for failure to obtain a new driver's license after changing name or address. • A Maplewood man, 38, was cited at 12:12 a.m. Aug. 13 on Ethan Avenue N. and 126th Street N. for driving after revocation and failure to provide proof of insurance after deputies on patrol pulled him over for rolling through a stop sign. Deputies also noted the passenger in the back seat who wasn’t wearing a seat belt. • A resident in the 6000 block of 170th Street N. at 12:51 p.m. Aug. 13 reported her purse stolen. The complainant's only named suspect admitted to stealing the purse but

refused to return it. Gross misdemeanor theft charges are pending. • Employees of Lake Area Bank in the 14000 block of Everton Avenue N. at 1:43 p.m. Aug. 13 reported an unknown female for cashing a forged check of $2,320 as part of an ongoing issue of checks being passed at Lake Area Banks throughout the northeast metro. • A Stillwater woman, 21, was cited at 7:49 a.m. Aug. 17 in the 6000 block of eastbound Egg Lake Road N. for speeding 48 mph in a 35 mph zone by westbound deputies. The motorist asked deputies whether she was going a little fast and told them she had to get home and then to work in Minneapolis by 9 p.m.

2222 4th Street • White Bear Lake, MN 55110

A wrong-way driver was arrested around 1 p.m. Sept. 11 after a high-speed chase that ended when his Honda Civic hit a traffic light at the intersection of Hwy. 61 and 96 in White Bear Lake. The Brooklyn Park man, 22, is in custody after fleeing State Patrol in a chase that started when a trooper arrived to assist a vehicle in the ditch at Hwy. 96 and Greenhaven Drive. A vehicle parked next to the one in the ditch accelerated at a high rate of speed when the trooper approached. Efforts to stop the vehicle failed and the driver contin-

ued to flee, driving the wrong way on Hwy. 96. County deputies witnessed the driver speeding east in the westbound lane and alerted drivers ahead of him. Troopers terminated the pursuit in the interest of public safety, but the vehicle continued at a high rate of speed until it crashed into the light pole. The driver fled on foot but was captured and arrested. Two passengers, a Blaine woman, 29, and North Branch woman, 21, were transported to Region's Hospital with minor injuries. A Ramsey County squad sustained front-end damage from the suspect vehicle but other than that, no one else was hurt. A spokesman for the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office said drugs, drug paraphernalia and counterfeit money was reportedly found in the vehicle. The county assisted, as did White Bear Fire at the scene. Charges are pending on the driver, who has an outstanding felony warrant out of Anoka County. According to the State Patrol incident report, the vehicle was reported stolen out of Ramsey County.

Financial Management Ways to stretch your money further

Living on a fi xed income requires seniors to monitor their spending more carefully than they likely had to while they were still working fulltime. Living on fi xed income after retirement requires that many retirees make some financial concessions. Retirement income likely won’t equal the income professionals earned while

they were still working, so men and women approaching retirement may want to begin prioritizing their purchases and choosing which luxuries they can and cannot live without going forward. Managing on a ﬁ xed income may necessitate some changes, but a little frugality and ﬁnancial wherewithal can ensure seniors need not compromise too much during

their golden years.

· Change your dining habits. Many people enjoy meals out on the town after getting home from work and spending time with the family. Retirees have more ﬂexible schedules, and adjusting the time of day when they dine out can add up to considerable savings. Many brunch and lunch offerings are less expensive

than dinner menus, and seniors can use this to their advantage. Meet up for lunch and spend less. If you prefer take-out, order from the lunch specials and then reheat your food at dinnertime.

· Ask about senior discounts. Various restaurants, stores and other retailers offer senior discounts. Inquire about discounts before making purchases and take advantage of any offers. · Pool your resources. Bulk shopping clubs enable individuals to save money on the cost of many goods and services. However, for seniors living in two-person households, it may seem counterintuitive to purchase items in bulk. Split the cost of shopping club memberships with fellow retirees. This allows you to get discounted prices without having to store excessive amounts of food.

· Shop around. Instead of shopping only at stores you’re familiar with, go where the deals are. Many people are surprised to learn that drug stores often charge less than supermarkets for personal grooming products and household supplies. Shopping online also may yield some good deals. Before making any online purchases, familiarize yourself with shipping costs, which may negate the savings. · Sign up for rewards programs. Rewards programs may lead to a few extra promotional emails throughout the week, but the savings reaped can be considerable and well worth nuisance of seeing your spam folder ﬁ ll up each day. Many savings clubs have replaced traditional coupons, saving seniors the effort required to scan circulars looking for deals.

Rain doesn’t stop food lovers from getting a taste Rain did not dampen the spirit of Taste of White Bear Lake Sept. 7 at Jacobson’s Pine Tree Apple Orchard. Apparently this was the ﬁrst Taste in seven years to experience inclement weather. Area restaurants, distilleries and beverage businesses offered samples of food and drink, accompanied by live music at the annual Rotary Club fundraiser. The rain was probably good for the silent auction as bidders gathered under the tents to peruse the goods and gift certiﬁcates. Proceeds go towards Rotary projects both local and abroad. Above, the drizzle was ending around 4 p.m. at Taste but there were still a few open umbrellas. At right, the Brickhouse seasoned chicken on a stick was a fan favorite. Chefs couldn’t get the samples out fast enough. Below left, Rotarian and sailor Gene Altstatt and wife Marcia display the acrylic sailboat they won in the silent auction. The sailboat was donated by Diane Hill. Below center, Eat@Banning&5th owner/chef Shawn Smith and company wave from their food tent.

INDUSTRIAL HEMP: A ‘sustainable, regenerative’ crop FROM PAGE 1A

Dugas explained. “Anything less is considered industrial hemp. Anything more is considered marijuana.” He is licensed by the state Department of Agriculture to grow hemp. Inspectors run compliance tests to make sure plants are under the limit. When mature, the plants, which are all female, are harvested and the oil in the flower extracted. CBD oil has become a hot new product in Minnesota. The non-intoxicating extract, however, is unregulated, resulting in products that vary widely in purity. “Basically, the advertised dosage on the product label may not be the same as the lab tests,” Dugas said. He recommends asking for a third-party lab test that should be available on the manufacturer's website or product packaging. “You want something above 84-85% CBD,” he noted. Most reputable companies have a QR code or bar code on the package that can be scanned, leading to a website and lab test for that product's batch. Since Dugas extracts his own CBD, he controls the quality. He started growing hemp in his landlord's front yard to learn more about how it's cultivated. “I'm more

a lab and chem guy,” added Dugas, a Hill-Murray grad who holds a degree in molecular biology from Colorado College. There are many applications for the oil, and he has no trouble finding buyers, although Minnesota is considered an immature market. Everything about the plant is usable. For centuries, rope was made from hemp. In fact, Minnesota was a major supplier in the 1940s. Other byproducts include grain for livestock and fiber for textiles. “CBD is the buzz now, but we think hemp fiber and rope will be big in the next few years,” noted Dugas. Patagonia, he added, has a line of clothing made from hemp fiber, which is naturally anti-microbial and more elastic. Hemp harvest reached its peak during World War II when the government encouraged domestic production. According to an online source, the government made a film titled “Hemp for Victory” in 1942, encouraging farmers to grow the crop. Minnesota was home to several hemp fiber plants but the industry declined after the war. The state still has an abundance of wild hemp descended from those crops. Hemp expert John Ames, who is help-

ing Dugas with his township test plot, said biodegradable plastics are another exciting byproduct. Straws and water bottles can be made from waste products from the crop, he said. “There is interesting potential there as far as renewable single-use alternatives.” Ames is convinced CBD oil helped control his anxiety issue. “Anecdotally, I use CBD for anxiety and PTSD,” Ames shared. “I was heavily medicated and underwent a lot of therapy coming out of college in my early 20s. I discovered CBD and medical cannabis while visiting family on the West Coast and saw how much it helped my day to day. I'm on a high CBD daily dose and I've never been better. I'm off pharmaceuticals and I lost about 60 pounds, with some exercise and diet change. It's been a passion project for me. There is promise; that is why I'm so invested in it personally.” Dugas takes CBD, too. He's had multiple surgeries, hip reconstruction and spinal injuries, so pain is a constant companion. “I played hockey at Hill Murray and didn't have the greatest end to my career,” he said. “Medical cannabis in Colorado was effective. That got me to pursue it. CBD has helped me recover. I

TAX LEVY: Council OKs $6.9 million levy FROM PAGE 1A

That’s only $7.18 more than what a home of that value would have paid in 2019, Kindsvater noted in a memo to council. In 2019, a median value home paid $413.54 for the city’s share of property taxes. The accompanying table compares a median value home and annual city tax for the last 10 years. Note that in 2016, the median value home was still $1,750 less than in 2011 as the market continued to recover from the recession. Since 2016, median value has increased by $58,400, or 32% over a fouryear period. Apartment and commercial/industrial properties also saw market value growth; however, the percentages are lower than the residential increase. Apartment values rose 1.8%, which is below the Ramsey County average of 6.9%. Commercial/industrial valuation increased 8.66%, which is greater than the county average of 4.66%.

Statewide tax levy comparison The city’s 2019 per capita tax levy liability of $248.71 ranked lowest among communities statewide with populations between 16,000 to 37,000. The impact of the preliminary tax levy would increase the per capita levy to $270.77. Depending on the tax levy adopted by other cities, White Bear Lake should remain either lowest or second lowest among comparable cities in 2020. In 2019, Willmar was second to last among the 46 cities listed. Red Wing was first in per capita levy. A truth in taxation hearing is scheduled Nov. 26 at City Hall. The hearing gives residents and businesses opportunity to provide input on the budget and proposed levy. The final 2020 budget and corresponding levy will be adopted at the Dec. 10 City Council meeting. Before adopting the proposed levy, City Council was reminded that the preliminary tax levy can be lowered when the final levy is adopted, but it cannot be increased.

Not to be confused with cannabis used for medicinal or narcotic purposes, these female hemp plants provide CBD oil.

akin it to taking Advil.” At this point, Dugas is selling his extracted CBD oil on a wholesale basis. Products are under development, however, and this fall he plans to launch a retail line by contracting with hemp growers around the state. “The wave for hemp is here,” Ames said. “It is a sustainable, regenerative crop that offers much more than just CBD. That is why we are so interested. Hemp been around for thousands of years and it's coming back with a vengeance. Like the shirt says, hemp doesn't stop.”

Be aware of bears: DNR lists tips for avoiding conflicts Garbage

A black bear has recently been sighted in North Oaks, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources offers the following tips for avoiding conflicts with bears. Black bears are the only bear species that live in the wild in Minnesota. They usually are shy and flee when encountered. Never approach or try to pet a bear. Injury to people is rare, but bears are potentially dangerous because of their size, strength and speed. The DNR does not relocate problem bears. Relocated bears seldom remain where they are released. They may return to where they were caught or become a problem somewhere else. The DNR offers some tips for avoiding bear conflicts:

Around the yard • Do not feed birds from April 1 to Nov. 15. Anytime you feed birds, you risk attracting bears. • If you must feed birds, hang bird feeders 10 feet up and 4 feet out from the nearest trees. Use a rope and pulley system to refi ll bird feeders and clean up spilled seeds. • Do not put out feed for wildlife (like corn, oats, pellets or molasses blocks). • Replace hummingbird feeders with hanging flower baskets, which are also attractive to hummingbirds.

• Store garbage in bear-resistant garbage cans or dumpsters. Rubber or plastic garbage cans are not bear-proof. • Keep garbage inside a secure building until the morning of pickup. • Properly rinse all recyclable containers with hot water to remove all remaining product. • Store recyclable containers, such as pop cans, inside. People should always be cautious around bears. If bear problems persist after cleaning up food sources, contact a DNR area wildlife office for advice. For the name of the local wildlife manager, contact the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157 or 888-646-6367, or visit mndnr.gov/ contact/locator.html. Last year the DNR asked the public to report bear sightings outside primary bear range in Minnesota. Male bears are known to travel long distances in search of new habitat and food, and there is a public perception that bear range has expanded in the central and southern counties of the state. For a map showing the primary bear range and to report a bear sighting outside of this range, visit mndnr.gov/bear.

This black bear was spotted Aug. 30 near Tamarack Nature Center by a homeowner.

• Do not leave food from barbecues and picnics outdoors, especially overnight. Coolers are not bearproof. • Clean and store barbecue grills after each use. Store them in a secure shed or garage away from windows and doors. • Elevate beehives on bear-proof platforms or erect properly designed electric fences. • Pick fruit from trees as soon as it’s ripe and collect fallen fruit immediately.

• Limit compost piles to grass, leaves and garden clippings, and turn piles regularly. Do not add food scraps. • Harvest garden produce as it matures. Locate gardens away from forests and shrubs that bears may use for cover. • Use native plants in landscaping whenever possible. • Store pet food inside and feed pets inside. If pets must be fed outdoors, feed them only as much as they will eat.

New priest hopes to foster ‘healing, welcome and love’ BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Father Chad VanHoose, the new priest at St. Jude of the Lake Catholic Church in Mahtomedi, didn't always plan on being a priest. His call into the ministry was a gradual one as he grew in deeper discipleship, he noted. He graduated from nursing school in 2005 but was led into youth missions work with NET (National Evangelism Teams) Ministries, which is headquartered in Minnesota. He worked with middle and high school students at Divine Mercy Catholic Church in Fairbault. After several years of growing closer to Jesus and seeing what a life of ministry looks like, he just knew he was called to the priesthood. “It was discerning an invitation of the Lord for greater discipleship in my life,” he noted. “At that time, I was praying and asking and felt an invitation even stronger from Jesus to be an instrument to show his healing and love.” VanHoose said he is just a normal person who comes from a normal family and has normal interests. Sometimes, people can overthink what makes a priest a priest, he noted. “I think some people think that priests are just born priests, that they just come of the womb with a collar on,” he explained. “Apart from my ministry, I am just a disciple of Jesus as well, living my life in the world.” He has flaws and weaknesses like

everyone else and is just loving Jesus as best he can, he added. “I am very approachable; I am just a normal person,” he said. He attended seminary at St. Paul Seminary, on the University of St. Thomas campus. He was ordained two years ago. His first assignment from the archbishop was to be an associate pastor at All Saints Catholic Church in Lakeville. He knew he would be there

a few years. After two years, he was asked to become the next priest at St. Jude of the Lake Catholic Church in Mahtomedi. He began in July and moved into the rectory next to the parish. He lives with two other priests who are part of the Companions of Christ priestly fraternity. He has been enjoying getting to know the parish. “I've enjoyed just the warmth of the community,” he said.

“We are a community of disciples. … We love Jesus and we want others to love him as well and experience that healing through the church.” VanHoose acknowledged that the Catholic Church has gone through a lot in the last few years. He wants to bring mending. “I want it to be a place of healing, welcome and love,” he said. “I hope they find in me a loving shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep.” VanHoose was given a kayak by his former parish and has been enjoying taking it out on White Bear Lake, he added. He enjoys the Minnesota outdoors, playing frisbee and traveling to visit family and friends in Cincinnati, Ohio.

LOOKING BACK Week of Sept. 8-14, 2019 Pulled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1919 Last Monday evening Harrison Fuller, city editor of the St. Paul Dispatch, representing the American Legion, addressed a number of our returned soldier boys and formed a chapter for White Bear with the following temporary officers: President – Leslie Palmer, Secretary – Chas. Haussner, Treasurer – Allyn Warner. White Bear has enough young men who are eligible to membership in the Legion to have a strong chapter if they all take an interest. 1944 Macalester College, whose fall term opens Sept. 15 again will attract many students from White Bear, and among those to enroll this fall are: Miss Norma Zwerenz, Miss Joy Rogalla, Miss Audrey Oestreich, Miss Phyllis Coleman and Miss Abby Amundson 1969 Darryl M. LeMire is now serving as a helicopter mechanic stationed at Phu Bia, Vietnam. He has been in the country since Feb. 10, 1969. Specialist LeMire took basic at Fort Campbell, Ky, then went on to Army Aircraft Maintenance School and graduated second out of a class of 41 men. He went from there to Fort Carson, Colorado, for further training and experience and then to Vietnam. In June he was selected as Unit Soldier of the Month. LeMire is married and has a five-month-old son he has never seen. He is the son of Mr.

Innovize is committed to “creating a culture and products that improve people’s lives.” Since the company’s associates precisely manufacture medical device components every day for the largest medical device companies in the world, Innovize also focuses on ensuring that coming to work is fun, according to Director of Project Management Jeff Noren. After a summer filled with visits from different food trucks, and Maui Wowi smoothies to celebrate a record-breaking August, the company decided to challenge its associates to “Park Like You Own It.” The day, night and weekend shift competed to see who could “get a parking ticket” for the most creative parking at the company’s campus in Vadnais Heights. “Parking tickets” were given out for most creative individual and team parking, as well as coolest car.

Julia (Mahre) Rette and Tim Hermann were introduced as new White Bear Lake Athletic Hall of Fame members at the Bears football game Friday. Julia Mahre, Class of 2004, was a two-time all-state pick in softball, and all-conference four times. In soccer, she helped the Bears place third in the state and made the all-tournament team as a defender. She also played basketball. Mahre continued in softball at Gustavus Adolphus and was named all-MIAC all four season. She graduated with Gustie career records for home runs, total bases, runs, and hits. A nurse in labor and delivery at Abbott Northwestern, she lives in Lino Lakes with husband John Rette and their three children. Hermann was a distinguished Bear at the start of his sports career, as an athlete, and at the end, as their activities director. The 1969 graduate was captain and all-conference in football and baseball, also playing basketball. He played both ways on the unbeaten 1968 football team. He continued in baseball and football at St. Olaf and

Loon Chronicles V: Changing of the guard “Another week of challenging conditions for Loon watching. Fortunately, we had great success this weekend. There is a definite sense of transition in the air, land and water. The rafting bachelors and their entourage are leaving WBL, a few at a time, as they make their way to Lake Michigan for their migration layover. Drop-in juvenile, old warriors and sub adult Loons continue to drop in to fish and play. We spotted some of the oddest combinations. We stumbled upon an old warrior fiercely guarding a well developed juvenile Loon. The juvenile dove all around the older Loon, while the older Loon issued warning calls and flapped its wings trying to protect the younger Loon; loving and protective at the same time. The Eagles are everywhere! Quite formidable. The Coots are nowhere to be found. Last year, they started to arrive during the second week of September. We spotted a flock of Blue-winged Teal in flight. We look forward to all of the other migratory ducks that will be passing through during the next four to five weeks.”

Bears grit their teeth, fend off Stillwater 24-14 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

A goal-line stand. Then a booming punt. Both with the game on the line. Those were the pivotal plays as the White Bear Lake Bears held off Stillwater 24-14 at home Friday evening. With the Bears up 21-14, Stillwater (1-2) drove 84 yards for a fi rst down at the Bears five late in the third quarter. It was time for the Bears (2-1) to dig in. Two runs moved Stillwater to one foot from the goal. On third down, last play of the third quarter, Casey Venske’s quarterback sneak was thwarted by defensive tackles Mitchell Landsberger and Dylan Larson. On fourth down, fi rst play of the final period, the Ponies sent Jacob Day off tackle. He was rebuffed also. “The fi rst one, we went right through them, and the quarterback was right there,” Landsberger said. “On fourth down, they went to the right, and somebody hit him behind the line.” That was safety Spencer Oxton, busting through to give Day enough of a jolt that he could not quite lunge to the goal line. He was about five inches short. A heck of a goal-line-stand, Landsberger was told. “Yeah, this will probably be one of our coolest memories of this season,” he grinned. Asked what the mindset was, he said, “Our coaches tell us bend but don’t break — no matter how close they get, don’t quit, keep fighting, don’t give up that touchdown.” Coach Ryan Bartlett said much depended on No. 99 and 95: “Larson and Landsberger, the DTs, they were they keys. Those two never miss weight-training, summer or winter.”

BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Bear defensive tackles Mitchell Landsberger (99) and Dylan Larson (95) hash it over after anchoring a goal-line stand against Stillwater.

But the Bears had a new set of problems, lining up with the tip of the ball five inches from their own goal line, trying to protect a seven-point lead. To complicate things further, they incurred three penalties on the next four plays. On fi rst down, they were flagged for holding, resulting in a 2 1/2-inch penalty (half the distance). On the do-over, Branden Berwald dropped back to throw long. Incomplete. Two runs and two falsestarts later, it was fourth and seven from the three. Their punter, Jeff Odamtten, stood just inside the back of the end zone. Fortunately, Odamtten picked an optimum time

to blast a 54-yard punt, the longest of his career. “I knew I had to kick the ball HARD,” said Odamtten. And he did. The ball soared over the return man, who was perched at midfield, and rolled dead at the Ponies 43. “I looked down the field and thought, oh, man, it went over him!” Stillwater picked up two first downs. From the Bears’ 30, the Ponies almost got the tying touchdown on Venske’s pass to Luke Cullen, who caught seven for 83 yards but could not hang on to this one. With seven minutes left, the Bears executed a textbook drive for the situation, chewing up 65 yards, all on the ground, forcing Stillwater to use all their time outs, and called their own last timeout with 22 seconds left, at the five-yard line. There, they turned it over the Odamtten again, and he drilled a 22-yard field goal to clinch it. Odamtten also rushed eight time for 63 yards. The Bears took a quick 14-0 lead on a pair of oneyard dives by Cam Zelenski, who carried 24 times for 104 yards. The second was set up by Brice Peters with an interception and 37-yard return. Stillwater pulled even in the second quarter as Venske scored from the one, then passed to Tyler Thureson for a 17-yard score after the Bears fumbled on the kickoff. The Bears regained a 21-14 lead as Peters scored on a 13-yard screen pass from Berwald in the fi nal seconds of the half, set up by Berwald’s 32-yard strike to Sammy Russ. Berwald was 6-for-10 for 72 yards and Russ caught four for 46. The Bears rushed for 218 yards (on 41 carries) while holding Stillwater to 78 yards rushing and 115 passing. Grant Napgezek, senior linebacker, was in on 18 tackles. The Bears will take on Cretin-Derham Hall (3-0) Friday at St. Thomas University.

Brandt, named Miss Hockey for HillMurray in 2012, was a member of three NCAA champion teams with the Gophers before helping Team USA win gold in 2018. “The HMGH program was an incredible experience for me and I’m excited to be back,” said Brandt, who will join Caesare Engstrom and Bill Schafhauser, her own coaches when she played there. “She and her HM teammates helped build the foundation of success for our program,” Schafhauser said. “To have her come full circle and want to coach at the pinnacle of her career is a very proud moment for us.” Brandt also works for the Minnesota Wild, visiting elementary schools along with Wild players to promote “Face-Off for Fitness” an active lifetime program, and remains an active member of the national team.

MAHTOMEDI SPORTS BRIEFS Zephyr netters post two 7-0 conference wins The Mahtomedi tennis team is 3-0 in the Metro East Conference after scuttling North St. Paul and Henry Sibley, each 7-0, last week. The No. 7 ranked Zephyrs (7-1 overall) were slated to host No. 3 Mounds View on Monday but it was rained out and will be played Wednesday. Lauren Splett and Annika Munson are each 10-2 alternating at No. 1 and 2 singles. Mari Meger is 10-2, mostly at No. 3 singles, and Sonya Potthoff is 13-1 in singles and doubles. Playing mostly doubles, Elena Carlson is 11-2, Sarah Hoffman 10-2, Campbell Albers 11-1, Alayna Schwieters 11-1, Liv Kent 8-4 and Annika Hillstrom 8-4.

Zephyr girls tie Benilde 2-2 In a duel of ranked Class 1A soccer teams, Mahtomedi deadlocked 2-2 with Benilde-St. Margaret’s at home Saturday. Lauren Heinsch booted both goals for No. 2 Mahtomedi (3-2-1), one in each half. It was the fourth tie for No. 6

Benilde-St. Margaret’s (4-1-4). The Red Knights scored twice on free kicks, by Ava Wagener and Sydney Drees. The Zephyrs also beat South St. Paul 5-0 on Tuesday.

Mahtomedi boys top Packers, fall to No. 1 Blake Timothy Bruner delivered two goals as Mahtomedi tripped the South St. Paul Packers 3-2 in boys soccer on Thursday. The Zephyrs (5-2) then lost to undefeated Blake 2-0 on Saturday. Blake is topranked in Class 1A. Against South St. Paul, the Zephyrs trailed 2-0 at the half before Bruner notched his ninth and 10th goals of the season in the second half, with Ethan Peterson also scoring. Josh Bates made five saves.

St. Thomas smacks Zephyr gridders 38-0 Mahtomedi football took a rare beating on Friday evening. St. Thomas Academy, ranked No. 2 in Class 5A, came to town and cruised 38-0 against a team that hasn’t had a losing season since

1981. Mahtomedi (1-2) had an encouraging start as Ty Decker returned the opening kickoff across midfield to the Cadets 43, and Johnny DeVore passed to Tyler Tengwall for two straight first downs, reaching the Cadet 13. But that drive ended with a fumble and the Cadets (3-0) dominated the rest of the way, starting with a long drive capped by Gabe Sirek’s 22-yard field goal. The Cadets intercepted DeVore’s next two passes, the first of which was returned 39 yards for a touchdown by linebacker Jamie Smith. Mahtomedi would suffer five turnovers in all, three interceptions and two fumbles. Danny McFadden scored on runs of 65 and five yards, totaling 151 yards 17 carries. Cadet quarterback Baker Reding passed to Siren for an 18-yard touchdown and scored on a one-yard run. The Zephyrs will play at South St. Paul (0-2) on Friday. Bruce Strand

Driverless vehicle project inches forward WHITE BEAR LAKE — City officials continue to work with a committee of representatives from nonprofit organizations, the school district, researchers and local businesses on bringing automated vehicle technology to the area. Two neighborhood meetings were held (after press time) to discuss the proposed route for a pilot project in the city. Mike Greenbaum of Newtrax and Shane Hoefer from the YMCA were tapped to lead the discussions. The proposed route lies between Phoenix Alterna-

tives (PAI – a day program for adults with developmental disabilities) on Linden Avenue and the YMCA on Orchard Lane. A certified attendant employed by Newtrax will be on the vehicle at all times, which would travel at speeds of about 20 mph. The route would run weekdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for 12 months, to provide a connection for clients of Phoenix Alternatives, residents of senior apartments along the route and the public to access programming at the Y. Officials feel the route will have little impact on neighborhood streets.

The pilot project, according to the city, would evaluate benefits and challenges of automated vehicles and its potential to provide future transportation options for the aging population and persons with disabilities. The state Legislature appropriated funding to the Department of Transportation for an automated vehicle pilot project grant program, and the committee feels White Bear's project is a strong candidate for funding.

FY’20 Intermediate District Tuition, Access Fee and Membership Rates Northeast Metro 916 does not accept referrals from nonmember districts any more. However, non-member district students do reach us: (1) through open enrollment into member districts; (2) when students live in group homes in our member districts; and, (3) when they live in other non-permanent housing in our member districts. This growing number of non-member district students puts strain on Northeast Metro 916’s ability to meet the growing number of referrals from our member districts. The underlying premise for the new access fee per membership hour, is to charge a non-member district a fee that is comparable to the costs our members contribute per enrolled student in our level IV programs. MDE requested clarity on how the non-member access fee is calculated so several communication tools, including the attached, will provide more complete information for districts with non-member students attending.

Member Livingston left at this point in the meeting. Approved the district tuition rates and revised access fees for FY20 as presented. Retirements (10+ Years) Accepted the resignation of Jayne Palony, Office Assistant, upon the occasion of her retirement, effective 6/6/2019. Jayne will have provided the school district with 41 years of service. Accepted the resignation of Shelley Walsh, Accounting Technician, upon the occasion of her retirement, effective 8/02/2019. Shelley will have provided the school district with 19 years of service. Resolution Authorizing Tax Allocation Benefit One of our construction partners, Karges-Faulconbridge, Inc., has requested the district adopt this resolution, which is part of an IRS Tax Code provision, allowing a private taxpayer entity to claim a qualifying income tax deduction for proven costs associated with construction projects where energy-savings benefits can be demonstrated. On a public school project, where the district does not file an IRS tax return, the district is not eligible, but as “owner” of the project, it can confer this status to a firm (construction manager, architect, engineer, contractor, etc.) that designed, worked on, or implemented the portion of work qualifying for this credit. Adopted a resolution on a roll call vote authorizing and directing the School District administration to allocate potential Section 179D deductions to KargesFaulconbridge, Inc. in relation to the Quora construction project. Board Forum Members Timm and Forsberg attended the MSBA Summer Seminar. The workshop by Bukata Hayes on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion was interesting and eye-opening. Roseville gave a nice presentation on “Access and Equity in College Credit Class. Member Forsberg noted that the nomination process is now underway to elect 2019-2020 Delegate Assembly members. AMSD monthly meetings start up this Friday. Member Sager invited members to attend an event hosted by the Ramsey County League of Local Governments on August 15 at the Shoreview Community Center.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2019

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS www.presspubs.com

Commissioner of Education: ‘The state of our students is promising’ The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) recently released the State of Our Students report, a first-of-its-kind compilation of multiple data that included 2019 accountability data from the North Star accountability system. North Star data in the report show that no new schools are identified for support under the 2019 North Star data beyond schools already receiving support from MDE. “The state of our students is promising, and it’s up to us to meet their promise with our support,” said Education Commissioner Mary Cathryn Ricker. “Too often, we condense our students down to one single data point, which eliminates everything about our students that make them who they are. By looking at a broader collection of data side by side, we can easily see the many things we have to celebrate about our students and the best strategies to support them to reach their full potential. My promise to our students is to continue seeing their strengths, persist alongside them and tackle the barriers that stand in their way.”

The State of Our Students report finds: • The number of American Indian students taking the ACT has more than doubled since 2014. • ACT participation increased 70% for black students between 2014 and 2018. • 70% of black high school graduates enrolled in higher education within 16 months of graduation. • 76.3% of Hispanic students graduated from high school in seven years. • Minnesota’s English learners speak 226 different languages all together. • The four-year graduation rate for students concentrating in career and technical education (CTE), students completing 240 CTE course hours within one career field, is 92%.

• 83.2% of all Minnesota students graduated from high school in four years, the highest rate on record. • 62.8% of students with disabilities were educated in a general education classroom for at least 80 percent of their day. “The way we use data influences the decisions that we make. By looking at a more complete picture of our students, I am dedicated to find ways to best serve every student,” said Ricker. “The State of Our Students report clearly tells me that our students take advantage of every opportunity brought to them. When we open the doors, our students bust through them. Our students’ potential, and their determination to succeed, is more than ambitious—it is promising for our future and meeting their ambition with our support that will turn Minnesota into the Education State.” The report shows that persistent gaps between student groups remain largely the same from 2018 to 2019. For American Indian students, 57.6% consistently attended at least 90% of school days, compared to 78.8% of Hispanic students and 91.3% of Asian students. 2019 math achievement rates dipped slightly for all students in 2019, with rates for each individual student group following suit. Reading achievement rates held steady from 2018 to 2019, and gaps between student groups remained much the same. “Gaps needs to be closed,” said Ricker. “Minnesota students face gaps in learning, housing, household income, health and more. That’s why I’m committed to finding ways to serve the whole child, so all children have the support they need to succeed in the classroom. If we keep doing the same things, we will keep getting the same results. I am committed to reimagining what education can be in the state of Minnesota. And that includes resisting the urge to rely on test

scores as our sole indicator of progress.” The State of Our Students report includes an update on Minnesota’s North Star accountability system launched in 2018 to identify schools for support. The North Star accountability system was developed over recent years in partnership with thousands of Minnesotans and dozens of community organizations to satisfy and align requirements of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the state’s World’s Best Workforce law (WBWF). North Star uses data from the five key indicators — achievement and progress on state reading and math tests over time, progress toward English language proficiency, graduation rates and consistent attendance. Under the system, the state is better able to identify schools that consistently perform at high levels across multiple domains and schools that need support in reaching their goals. The five indicators expand the use of data beyond test scores. Parents and community members can review a variety of data points, including North Star data for schools and districts, by visiting the Minnesota Report Card. Visitors to the site will find information about schools recognized for excellence or prioritized for support. The report card includes a narrative provided directly from the local school as well as information about all schools and districts, including North Star results, staffing data, preschool participation, rigorous course-taking patterns and more. To comply with federal laws, changes have been made in the Minnesota report card to protect the identity of students. Data reported on less than 10 students in a category will no longer be available in the assessment reports on the Minnesota Report Card. Submitted by the Minnesota Department of Education

Each licensed organization within city must now expend 80 percent of its lawful expenditures on lawful purposes conducted within the

city's trade area — a change from 40 percent. • Approved a request from Bayport American Legion Post 491 for a charitable gambling license to conduct gambling at Wildwood Tavern, 80 Mahtomedi Ave. • Scheduled a Sept. 17 public hearing on certifying delinquent utility accounts to Washington County for collection with the 2020 property taxes. The amount due will run consistent with delinquent accounts of years past, Finance Director Scott Schafer said. • Heard an update from Kelly Mulhern of Badger State Inspections (BSI) on the condition of water tower No. 1 near Mahtomedi High School. BSI inspected the 12-year-old tower in June and determined that its exterior coating was too fragile to be power cleaned. The tower was then cleaned with a low-power washing system. BSI recommended bidding a year ahead of time to hire a professional company to perform reconditioning work on the exterior of the tower. While it monitors the condition of the inside and outside of the tower, the city hopes to enjoy a few more years

of paint life before replacing the entire paint system. An entirely new coating is expected to cost around $300,000 and last for some 25 years, City Engineer John Sachi said. • At the request of Independent School District #832, established a no parking zone between 2-4 p.m. on 72nd Street. • Approved a resolution declaring costs to be assessed and ordering the preparation of proposed assessments for Echo Lake Area improvements. The total cost for the Echo Lake Area improvements was estimated at $1.6 million; assessments amount to approximately $518,500, or 32%. The assessment roll is now available for inspection on fi le with the city clerk at City Hall. • Passed a resolution calling for and ratifying an assessment hearing with respect to Echo Lake Area improvements. The assessment hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. Oct. 1 at City Hall. Council is expected to consider, adopt and levy the proposed special assessments for improvements on streets and cul-de-sacs in the Echo Lake area that include full bituminous replacement and storm sewer

and water main improvements. • Heard a construction update from Sachi, who reported: ° The Forest Avenue Streetcar Trail was expected to be paved on Sept. 5 from Roma's parking lot to Birch Street. Parts of the Lake Links Trail are expected to be complete within weeks, including a privately donated bridge in Streetcar Park. Work on the Birchwood Road portion of the Lake Links Trail is expected to begin in the spring. ° The Echo Lake Improvements project is in its final stages; a punch list has been prepared and the paving of the neighborhood trail off Dunbar is scheduled for Sept. 5. ° Phase 4 of the Stillwater Road reconstruction project will begin Sept. 9. On that day, the intersection of Warner Road and Stillwater Road will be closed for two weeks. Limited parking will be available in the City Hall lot for patrons of downtown businesses. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — City Council approved the following at its Sept. 10 meeting: • Issuance of an off-sale liquor license to Obtainworld LLC, doing business as Cotroneo’s. Owners Guy and Cynthia Fix are selling the business and hope to close Oct. 1. A background check is pending on the applicant, Hardik Patel, on behalf of Obtainworld LLC, so council approved the liquor license contingent upon an all clear from the police department. The Hugo couple purchased the liquor store, formerly Ciresi’s, at 2148 Third St., in 2015. • A resolution denying a massage license application from a St. Paul therapist. On July 24, Weiting Lu applied for a license to work at Panda Massage, 1350 Highway 96 E. She met minimum requirements for a massage therapist; however, through the background check, it was discovered Lu had failed to disclose two past massage employments within the past five years as required by city ordinance. She had also worked at Oriental Lake Spa in Roseville and Cozy Asian in Eden Prairie. The omissions, per ordinance, were grounds for denial. Lu appeared before council last week to appeal the staff’s recommendation to deny and was granted a public hearing. Through a Chinese interpreter, Lu explained to council that she was rushed to fill out her application and forgot the two businesses. She has worked at 11 massage establishments in the last five

years. Of the nine she listed, all but one was found to be advertising on an adult erotic website called Rubmaps.com, according to Police Chief Julie Swanson. One of the establishments has closed after a prostitution sting. Councilman Doug Biehn noted it was difficult to deny someone their livelihood but he was not comfortable with a report that Lu may be linked to a South Dakota business that was shut down for human trafficking and prostitution during a time she used its address as a home address in 2013. That was also part of the police department’s background investigation attached to the council packet. Lu’s interpreter said Lu made a mistake in the application but “she is a good person who does not have a criminal record.” “Those are the rules we operate by,” said Mayor Jo Emerson. “It’s nothing personal.” City Manager Ellen Hiniker iterated that the city cannot show favoritism and must be consistent in approving applications. Other massage therapists have been denied for similar reasons. “We are being sticklers,” pointed out Councilman Bill Walsh. “It sounds harsh, but we have a reputation as being sticklers because of the risk of prostitution and sex trafficking.” • A preliminary and final plat to rearrange four parcels into two, in order to be combined with Saputo and the White Bear Lake Public Works facility.

Parcels are located at 3996, 3998, 4000 Hoffman Road and 4001 Highway 61. A first reading of a zoning district reclassification for the properties was also heard. The northern portion will change from B-3 auto oriented business to I-1, limited industry; and the southern portion from B-3 to P – public. The second reading is scheduled for Oct. 8. • A one-year extension request from the White Bear Center for the Arts to allow more time to construct a parking expansion. The center is building a parking lot behind its facility at 4962 Division Ave. The property required significant tree removal of large, old cottonwood trees discovered only after possession. Removal of the house on the property also led to several surprises that were time consuming and expensive, according to Executive Director Suzy Hudson. Construction is expected to be completed by summer 2020. • Proclaimed Constitution Week Sept. 17-23. Mayor Emerson read a city proclamation marking Sept. 17, 2019 as the 232nd anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America by the Constitution Convention. There will be no council meeting Sept. 24. Debra Neutkens

GOURDS Gourds are essentially ornamental squashes; they arenâ€™t cultivated for eating. Instead they are bred to look beautiful and unique in autumn centerpieces. Types of gourds include autumn wing gourd, warted gourds, turban gourds, and bottle gourds. Each gourd is unique in its shape and color.

PUMPKINS Pumpkins come in ornamental and edible varieties. Even though all pumpkins can be consumed, some taste better than others. Small pumpkins tend to be decorative because, according to Nutritious Life, they do not have enough meat inside to make them worthy of cooking. However, sugar pumpkins are best for baking and cooking favorite recipes, states the resource Pumpkin Nook.

Halloween takes place during a time of year characterized by earthen-colored chrysanthemums, leaf-lined walkways and crisp autumn air. As colorful as the costumes children wear for trick-ortreating may be, natureâ€™s beauty is unsurpassed this time of year, and the scores of pumpkins, gourds and squashes on display only add to that colorful melange. The Cucurbitaceae family may be best known for pumpkins, squash and gourds, but there actually are 800 species that belong to this family.

Autumn is a prime time to tend lawns and gardens Autumn is gardening season. That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens. However, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden HUK LUZ\YL [OH[ ÅV^LYZ [YLLZ and garden beds will over-winter successfully.

Rake and compost Rake the leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile. Plant spring bulbs Get tulips and other spring bulbs ready for planting so they’ll burst with color next year.

A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, the colder temperatures haven’t yet arrived in autumn, nor have the leaves completely fallen, making fall a prime time to assess what’s already in the landscape, what needs pruning back and where to address planting for next year. Gardening enthusiasts can focus their attention on these areas this fall: Pamper perennials As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials are located so they JHU IL LHZPS` PKLU[PÄLK SH[LY VU This way, when planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for next year, perennials won’t be overlooked or covered over. Prune shrubs Look at shrubs and trees and cut out dead or diseased wood. Clean up borders Weed and tidy up borders and lawn edging.

Dig up herbs Relocate herbs like parsley or basil to indoor gardens. Otherwise, strip all leaves and freeze for storage during winter. Consider mums Chrysanthemum plants are perennials. While they look beautiful in pots, if planted, maintained and winterized, they can bloom every fall. Fertilize the lawn Fertilizing in autumn helps ensure grass will stay healthy throughout the winter.

SUBMITTED

Mums are perennials. When properly planted and cared for, they can bloom every autumn.

Install pavers or rock wall Embrace the cooler temperatures to work on labor-intensive projects, such as putting in a garden bed, retaining wall or walkway.

Remove spent summer veggies Take out vegetable garden plants that have already bloomed and borne fruit. Tidy up vegetable gardens and start to sow cooler weather plants, such as onions, garlic, beans, and sweet peas.

Add mulch and compost to the garden Replenish spent soil with mulch and compost so garden beds will be revitalized for spring planting. Prune hedges Tidy up hedges, as they won’t be growing much more this year. Clean and store equipment Clean, sharpen and oil all equipment, storing lawn and garden tools properly so they are ready for spring and not lying out all winter.

The past week it was rain and a lot of it. We had an inch of rain on Thursday, Sept. 12, accompanied by strong wind gusts. The combination of rain and wind made for one of the nastiest morning we've had in awhile. Following last weeks rain was a nice period of ďŹ ne summer-like weather. The weekend was spectacular, especially Sunday as well as the beginning of this week. We've seen some hints of fall colors around here but we're still a few weeks from good fall color. The red sumac at William O'Brien State Park is turning and looks great. White Bear Lake level is holding strong at 925.1 feet with vigorous ďŹ‚ow out of the north end.
