Tax levy creeps higher, still low compared to similar-sized cities BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Bear Water Run heat relief Kayle Hunt gets sprayed with a cooling mist of water droplets by fellow Youth in Action team member Jada Horvach at the relief station they were volunteering at during the annual Bear Water Run Saturday, Sept. 15. Record breaking warm temperatures during the White Bear Lake Lions Club-sponsored event made the water stops situated along the course around White Bear Lake especially important this year.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — September means tax levy time. Municipalities are required to certify a preliminary tax levy with the county by end of month that will be used for property tax statements mailed mid-November. The news isn't bad. Yes, the proposed levy has increased but, in the scheme of things, the city is still rock bottom on a per capita tax basis. The City Council approved a preliminary tax levy of $6.345 million at its Sept. 11 meeting; $720,000 more than last year. The tax levy, payable in 2019, supports next year's city budget. City Manager Ellen Hiniker reminded council that the levy is a significant source of revenue for the city, providing 50 percent of the general operating fund. Public safety accounts for about half of general fund expenditures; or 38 percent for police and 10 percent for fire. SEE TAX LEVY, PAGE 8A

Lake level lawsuit: another hearing, another stay BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — Almost a year to the day after issuing her 140-page decision, Judge Margaret Marrinan was back in District Court over the lake level lawsuit. The retired judge returned to court Aug. 27 to hear arguments "pursuant to remand" from the Minnesota Court of Appeals regarding the defendant's motion to stay her judgment pending appeal.

The defendant in the 6-year-old case is the Department of Natural Resources and its commissioner, Thomas Landwehr. Intervenors on their side include the city of White Bear Lake and White Bear Township. The plaintiff is the White Bear Lake Restoration Association and its intervenor, White Bear Lake Homeowners Association. The Court of Appeals asked the judge to address the impact of the legislation that delayed implementation of some aspects of her judgment and whether defendants' arguments regarding multi-

plicity of litigation merit a stay. In her latest order filed Sept. 10, Marrinan agreed to stay paragraphs 4 C-F of her 2017 court order until completion of the appeals process. "As to the remaining provisions of the Court's Order of Aug. 30, 2017, there being neither justification nor need for a stay, the court declines to grant a stay," she wrote. The part of her order that was stayed is the part that caused uproar among municipalities holding water appropriation permits within 5 miles of White

Early voting opens Sept. 21

Mother-son provide some trail magic in Maine

Early voting opens Friday, Sept. 21. By law, citizens can vote in person or by mail 46 days before an election. People can vote early in person during business hours at their county courthouse or government center. Many cities also offer the opportunity to vote early. Lists of early voting locations can be found at mnvotes.org. All in-person locations will be open Saturday, Nov. 3, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. When voting by mail, voters request a ballot that is sent to them. Ballots can be mailed back or dropped off at an early voting location. If a person requests a ballot, that does not mean that they must vote by mail. They can change their mind and vote in person. People voting early have until the week before the election to change their vote. Early voting is not only convenient, it is growing in popularity. In Minnesota’s primary election, held just over a month ago on Aug. 14, more than 135,200 voters used this option. This played a part in pushing the number of people voting in a primary to 902,119, the highest number of primary voters since 1982. The excitement to vote in the primary is carrying over to the general election. In early September, the number of newly registered voters in Minnesota was double that at the same point in 2014, the last midterm election. Nearly 70 percent of those registering were between the ages of 18 and 30. This is incredibly encouraging, because in the 2014 election, Minnesota dropped from being the top voter turnout state to number six. From press release

PINE TREE APPLE ORCHARD Wagon Rides

White Bear Lake resident Jane Kope got a reminder last month of how small our world is. She and son Taylor Kope flew to Boston the last week of August, rented a car and drove to Andover, Maine, along the Appalachian Trail. Last year, the Press did a story on Taylor's completion of the 2,181-mile trek, affectionately called the AT. The two spent four days feeding and driving hikers wherever they needed to go as payback for the help Taylor received along the trail. “The people you meet along the trail are a big part of the experience,” Kope said last year. “People hike the trail for hundreds of unique reasons — some are cut out to fi nish it, most are not. But this crosssection of people makes for some wild encounters, some wonderful and some not so great.” “Trail magic” is one of the best things that can happen to a hiker, he added. This is when a nonhiker or group of nonhikers offers help in a variety of ways. This can be handing out hot food, providing a free ride to town, helping fi nd a place to stay or transporting gear. Providing some of that magic to about 30 hikers was “a wonderful experience,” said Jane. “We had an amazing adventure.”

White Bear Lake residents Jane Kope and son Taylor shared a montage of photos taken along the Appalachian Trail last month. They are pictured in a selfie lower right.

She added that Taylor met a hiker at a New Hampshire post office who recognized him from the article. “She was from Forest Lake and is hiking this year,”

SEPTEMBER 19, 2018

What happened to the newspaper?

READ WITH great interest a recent Star Tribune column by Jennifer Brooks entitled, “When there is news, but no paper.” She talks about Ted Almen, the publisher who wrote his newspaper’s obituary with the final edition of the Raymond-Prinsburg News on the Fourth of July. The Almens also own the Clara City Herald which now will provide area news for people in Raymond and Prinsburg. Newspapers all over the state are finding it difficult to survive. Newspapers near us like the Lake Elmo Leader and the Stillwater Courier have ceased publication. An encouraging note was all the people who visited with Kathy me at the Minnesota State About the and Fair Newspaper Museum. They Town thanked us for the Press and the Gene Johnson different newspapers we publish in Minnesota and Wisconsin. A rural Pine City farmer said, “I hope we don’t lose the Pioneer. It’s so important in recording history and keeping people informed about our local government.” Demographics point out that people who read newspapers will still be a dominant force for the next 15 to 20 years. But many of the younger generation carry their smartphones with them even when they are out hiking or just leisurely walking. Digital news is available on our websites 24/7, but the revenue stream is small and cannot yet support a news team. I stopped at a McDonald’s in Cambridge recently and a senior lady at the counter was making small talk while I was waiting for my chicken sandwich. I asked where she gets her local news, she said she gets that on TV. I began to wonder if people really know the value of local news, about their schools and government and their neighbors. Local advertising is the main support of a community newspaper. Local business people are struggling against the big box stores, direct mail, and the Amazons of the world. The bottom line is we appreciate our local advertisers who can reach a great number of eyeballs through print and digital mediums. Print is effective as you can refer to it easily, carry it with you and it is shared among families and even neighbors. A weekly newspaper stays in the home for over a week. Subscriptions are also a vital part of a newspaper’s income. We appreciate those who subscribe or pick it up on the newsstand. We need all of you. People will continue to make news. We want to be there for you so you can be informed, vote intelligently and shop locally to keep our communities alive. John McCain The Nation will miss Sen. John McCain, III. He was a great war hero, maverick of a politician, and a man with a love of family. He understood the satisfaction that comes by serving a greater cause, and that was in defending the dignity of all people, having moral courage and patriotism. He encouraged political bi-partisanship to accomplish legislation that was in the best interest of all people. Some years ago, Kathy and I, while on a study mission to Vietnam, visited the prison known as the “Hanoi Hilton” where Sen. McCain spent five and a half years. It is difficult to comprehend confinement to that facility. It was unfortunate that our president, Donald Trump, did not appropriately recognize his military service to our country. We will miss this man who served a cause and not a personal agenda. He was truly an American hero. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Community input sought as Rush Line bus project moves ahead

lans for the Rush Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project continue to progress thoughtfully, thanks to ongoing input from residents, businesses and stakeholders along the planned 14-mile transit route between the downtowns of Saint Paul and White Bear Lake. Over the course of this past summer, ofﬁcials from every community along the route – Saint Paul, Maplewood, Vadnais Gem Movers and Heights, Lake, White Bear Lake and White Shakers Bear Township – endorsed the Victoria planned route Reinhardt and service. For White Bear Lake-area residents, the Rush Line will improve access to jobs and activities and add a new transportation option for residents and visitors. BRT is a form of transit service featuring modern, state-ofthe-art buses that travel in dedicated lanes and serve well-lit stations with amenities such as heating, fare payment machines and real-time departure information. In the Twin Cities, the A Line between Roseville and

Minneapolis and METRO Red Line between Bloomington and Apple Valley currently provide types of BRT service. Months of public engagement have helped determine the Rush Line route and will continue to be vital as we work on the next phase of the project – called environmental analysis. During this phase, your input will continue to help inform our plans for speciﬁc station locations that deliver the greatest community beneﬁt, preserving cultural and historic resources along the route, and ensuring strong transit, walking and biking connections. The start of Rush Line construction is six years away, with an opening projected for 2026 – this shows the degree of engagement, analysis and planning required to develop a project of this scale and impact – and its vital importance to current and future transit users and their surrounding neighborhoods. Some 100,000 residents live along the route. Once completed, the Rush Line will help users save money on parking and transportation, provide greater access to jobs and activities, and help nearby employers attract employees and support economic development near stations. With Rush Line buses set to run all day in both directions, every 10 minutes

during peak hours and every 15 to 30 minutes at other times, employees will be able to access jobs reliably during all shifts. Leaders at major employers along the route, including large health care organizations, businesses and schools, have told me the critical importance of the transit system for connecting employees with their jobs. Access to reliable and affordable transportation is now one of the top considerations for employees and job seekers. More than 106,000 jobs are within a 10-minute walk of the Rush Line’s 20 planned stations. I encourage you to stay or get engaged with the Rush Line BRT Project. You can learn more and sign up for regular email alerts by visiting the Rush Line BRT Project website – rushline.org.

Proud of our community and committed to investing in our students

s the new superintendent at Mahtomedi Public Schools, I have spent the last few months invested in learning about our community. I have been so impressed by our community’s remarkable commitment to their schools. Community members who no longer have students in our schools have offered their time to share with me the area’s rich history, and provide perspective. Some have teared up at stories from their childhood, or while sharing their pride in their grandchildren’s accomplishments, who are also Mahtomedi students. I have also met families who are proud of the rich Zephyr traditions of excellence and are invested in moving our schools forward to further opportunities for our students. They recognize that we are in a time of rapid change and want to be certain we provide opportunities for our students to create their collective futures. As a district, we are committed to investing in our students. Our

teachers are constantly learning and collaborating to provide the very best learning environment for children. As a district, we aim to provide class sizes below the metro average, a middle school model that provides wrap-around support for young adolescents, and a right-sized high school that provides Movers and a small community, challenging curricuShakers lum offerings, and a multitude of co-curricBarb Duffrin ular opportunities. Unfortunately, our district is faced with budget challenges that are not unique to Mahtomedi. Over the last 15 years, the nominal increases in state funding from the Legislature have not kept up with increases in inflation. If state aid had kept up with the actual costs of educating students we would be receiving $618 more per student than we currently receive.

In Mahtomedi, over 70 percent of our general education revenue comes from the State of Minnesota. Due to recent budget reductions, we have had to eliminate nine secondary teaching positions while increasing our enrollment. We kept our elementary class sizes low by not hiring a full-time principal for Wildwood Elementary School. Instead, two district administrators are sharing administrative leadership of Wildwood. In November, we will be asking our taxpayers to vote on a levy to increase funding for our schools. Instead of asking voters for a large increase to the voter-approved authority upfront, the levy asks voters to pay for the increase incrementally over time to correspond to incremental changes in school district budget costs including, teacher salaries, health care, and operations. This is a tiered approach and breaks the levy request into three smaller amounts for the taxpayer over the course of 10 years in order to respond to the incremental inflationary operations and program changes. For more

information about our levy request and upcoming community meetings, please visit our website at https:// www.mahtomedi.k12.mn.us/ In spite of our current difficult budget situation, I am eternally optimistic for the future of the Mahtomedi Schools. We have such enthusiastic, caring, brilliant and committed staff and a community that contributes countless hours to supporting our children. Whether it be Mahtomedi student Luigi Viggiano, who created our Wildwood outdoor learning space, Mahtomedi Mayor Jud Marshall, who encouraged me to “just be curious” or our Teacher of the Year, Michlyn Newman, who moved our staff with her message of hope, I am inspired daily by the people I meet who make up our community. Thank you to the White Bear Lake Area community for your welcome. I’m happy to be here.

on Nike’s practices are a decade out of date. Nike began dealing with this problem head-on in the early 2000s and has demonstrated more transparency than most American companies contracting work in Asia. I hope Mr. Wolff is equally disturbed by the reports of conditions in the factories contracted by Donald Trump to produce Trump clothing products and is actively urging him to visit some of his own “slave-wage” paying factories overseas. Mr. Wolf also calls on Mr. Kaepernick to thank military veterans and their families, implying that kneeling during the anthem somehow disrespects their service. Wouldn’t veterans who are willing to put their lives on the line to protect our nation’s rights and values be the first to respect all Americans’ constitutional right to freedom of expression?

to anyone unwilling to abide by their terms of use. Mr. Jones or anyone else like him may whine all they want, but this is simply not a constitutional crisis. Mr. Stangl is correct in his assertion “…[that] unless he is directly breaking the law, he has every right to say what he thinks.” However, Mr. Jones does not have a constitutional right to do so via social media — that’s what soapboxes and street corners are for.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Standing up by kneeling Colin Kaepernick is making people think. He chose to kneel rather than stand during the National Anthem. As he explained, he is not disrespecting the flag or the people who have given their lives to defend our country. He was kneeling to protest the systemic racism in our institutions and the unequal treatment of people of color. In “Let America Be America Again,” poet Langston Hughes said, “Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed — Let it be that great strong land of love … The land that never has been yet — And yet must be — the land where every man is free.” That is the promise of America, expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But the promise has yet to be fulfilled. That is why Colin Kaepernick knelt — to stand up for what he believes, to make us think, and to challenge us to strive to make that promise real.

Vote yes on school levy Please help support Mahtomedi’s great public schools by voting yes on the levy in November. Like many, our family moved into Mahtomedi school district because of the quality of education offered in this community. We wanted to raise our children in a community that puts education and school spirit at the forefront. Parents and the community as a whole take pride in our school system. We now have three young daughters in the school district and would like to see them and others thrive. By voting yes for the levy, you are supporting our

Judge brings many strengths to Ramsey County bench I encourage White Bear area residents to vote for Ramsey County Judge DeAnne Hilgers this fall. Judge Hilgers first joined the bench after going through a rigorous nonpartisan screening process administered by the Judicial Selection Advisory Commission and then being one of two candidates selected by the governor from among four highly qualified finalists. It was my privilege to work with Judge Hilgers for 17 years. I have observed firsthand the intelligence, attention to detail and integrity that makes her a strong jurist. On top of these baseline strengths, Judge Hilgers brings unusual decency to the bench. She was a committed and effective pro bono advocate on top of her private law practice. Judge Hilgers combines that commitment to justice with the compassion that led her to be a foster mom. Litigators and litigants alike are lucky to find themselves in her courtroom. Wally Hilke Gem Lake

Letter writer out of date Letter writer David E. Wolff urged Nike spokesperson Colin Kaepernick to stop kneeling during the national anthem and instead travel to Asia to “fight for social justice where Nike pays its workers ‘slave’ wages” (Sept. 12 Letters to Editor). Mr. Wolff’s views

Quality education an asset to community Several weeks ago, I was discussing the upcoming bond issue for District 832 with my physical therapist, and the mother of several students in the Mahtomedi school district. She asked if I would put up a "Vote yes" yard sign. Since we are retired and in an older neighborhood that has appearance challenges, I thought I would not. As the signs began to appear, I had second thoughts. My husband and I are both Mahtomedi graduates, as are our children. The extended families have been a part of this community for several generations and can attest to the quality education that Mahtomedi district continues to provide. This quality is an asset to our community overall that cannot be underestimated. I always knew I would vote yes in the November election, but these days, you will see a new sign in my yard. Please vote yes for the community and especially the children. Lesley Keenan Mahtomedi

Social media businesses have right to abridge speech In response to the Movers and Shakers column of Sept. 12, Mr. Stangl conflates constitutional rights and the private rights of citizens and businesses. The First Amendment prohibits Congress from abridging the freedom of speech. It reserves that right to the citizenry and, by extension (and with endorsement from the U.S. Supreme Court), businesses. In other words, social media businesses are not the government and therefore have the right to abridge the speech of anyone that uses their platform or ban them entirely. Social media businesses are under no obligation to provide their platform

City engineer comes full circle in 30-year career BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

When City Engineer Mark Burch was hired in 1988, no one knew he was a rink rat. A lifelong love of hockey came in handy when the city manager asked his new engineer what he knew about ice arenas. It so happened Burch knew a lot. The city had just purchased an old tennis club on Highway 96 and planned to convert it into the White Bear Lake Sports Center. The project was Burch's first for the city. "We spent $1 million buying and renovating the building in 1989," he recalled. "It lasted 29 years." His last project with the city is again the Sports Center. The aging ice arena has been renovated and refurbished over the last six months under Burch's watchful eye. He purposely waited until the $5.5 million project was finished before retiring. Burch's last day with the city is Sept. 28. A grand opening hosted by the White Bear Lake Area Youth Hockey Association is planned Sept. 29 for the Sports Center. The association chipped in about $2 million for the new rink and all its amenities. "Some around here call it my bookend project," Burch said. "I didn't want to leave in the middle of the work. It was a huge project." He also pointed out it is under budget by about $300,000. Burch grew up playing hockey, first in Bemidji, then at Harding High School in St. Paul. He played college hockey at Iowa State and continues to lace up his skates to referee high school games. He officiated 85 games last year during hockey season in between morning meetings, evening meetings, and a 45-minute commute to his home in Center City. The city engineer is proud of the new ice arena; just like he's proud of the many, many projects he's managed over the last three decades. Asked what his most memorable task has been, Burch said he's been thinking a lot about that lately. "There have been so many. I've been so lucky to be here during all the changes in this city," he replied. "I think the water and sewer projects have been most significant. We used to have 26, 28 sewer backups a year. That's in people's basements. We maybe had one this year. It's a credit to our crews, upgrades to the sewer system, and better equipment and technology. "Our job is to make sure clean water comes out when you turn on the tap and that it drains away. It's the two most important things a city does. Without fresh water and sanitation,

you can't live here." As much as he loves his job, Burch feels it's time to let someone else have the corner office in City Hall. "It's a good time work-wise to leave, too," said Burch, who turned 65 last May. "A lot of projects are concluding." The multistreet project on the north end of the city is also wrapping up. The project was difficult due to the old utilities, alleys and stormwater issues, but "looks like a million bucks," according to Burch. He wanted to stay through that one, too. The city engineer, who serves a dual role as public works director, has purposefully stuck around for the street assessment hearing scheduled for the Sept. 25 City Council meeting, his last. "I wanted to stay and help with that," he said. "That is why my last council meeting is the assessment hearing." About 96 percent of the city's streets have been torn up and redone, according to Burch. He figures he's inconvenienced and assessed just about everybody in town. "Yeah, I've probably been in most everybody's hair," he said. As he reminisced about the city's growing pains and a few of the challenges that go with the job, Burch mentioned the many positives: projects like the waterfront boardwalk, new docks, the fishing pier and the many park improvements that happened during his tenure. The list is unsurprisingly long. There are no regrets. "Not here. It's been a good assignment," he said. "I've been really lucky in my career to work with good people." But now it's time to "do things Mark likes to do." That would involve camping and fishing, doing projects around the house and for his church, and spending more time on his 40-foot sport fisherman, moored near Lake Michigan. He's also looking forward to spending more time with his wife of 27 years, Anna. "We'll spend more time together now; I hope that's a good thing," Burch quipped. The couple have three adult daughters; one recently married. If he has some parting words, Burch would say the community should rest assured. "We have reliable systems and reliable guys who do a hell of a job. When I think about transitioning out of here, that makes me comfortable. We are in good hands. People need to know that."

TAX LEVY: Impact on median value home $54 in 2019 FROM PAGE 1A

The $720,000 increase in the general fund, supported by the levy, is earmarked for the following: • $272,000 – for personnel services and wages, insurance and worker's compensation • $39,000 – increase in fuel prices • $19,000 – professional services, including consultants for long-range financial planning • $40,000 – park and street maintenance • $105,000 – fire department staffing changes (paramedics) • $25,000 – urban tree management for emerald ash borer • $220,000 – debt service for 2018 street construction Impact of tax levy So, what does this mean for taxpayers? The impact of the levy on a median value home is an increase of $54 a year, or $4.50 a month over 2018, according to Finance Director Don Rambow. The city’s median home value in-

creased by $14,100, or 7 percent, to $222,500 for 2019. A median value home has the same number of homes valued above it as below it. Valuations have nearly recovered from pre-2008 Great Recession values. The value of a median home is only $1,500 less than what was reported in 2007. Eleven years ago, median value was $224,000 and the tax impact was $397. That puts the tax liability in 2019 at only $17 more than in 2007. In 2018, a median value home was $208,400 and paid $359 in city taxes. Apartment valuation is projected to increase 13 percent as demand for rental units increases, according to the finance department. Commercial property growth has stabilized, showing only modest growth that is significantly less than last year. Overall city market value increased by $180 million, or 7 percent. Statewide levy comparison The city's 2018 per capita tax levy liability, at $225, ranked the lowest statewide for communities with a

population between 16,000 and 37,000. The proposed 2019 tax levy would put the city second-lowest of the group if all other communities maintain a flat tax levy. At the top of the list is Red Wing, with a per capita levy hit of $1,402. “It's clear we try to watch our expenditures and utilize taxpayer dollars,” Rambow noted. “We are very cognizant of what we're doing when we take dollars from taxpayers' hands.” Councilman Bill Walsh admitted he finds property taxes confusing. “What's important is the size of the city budget — the money it takes to run the city,” he maintained. “It hovered around $4.6 million, then went to $5.1 and then $5.6 million (in 2018). We are efficient, but the budget is growing. The pie is growing. A small increase in taxes is good, but it can mask city budget growth. I will spend time looking at this.” Councilman Kevin Edberg reminded members that the fact the levy is going up doesn't equate with an increasing city budget. “There are other issues re-

garding revenue streams,” he said. Edberg was referring to interest earnings that have gone stagnant compared to 10 years ago. The city also doesn't receive as much local government aid. “We have a culture of caring staff,” Councilman Doug Biehn added. “They do a marvelous job keeping budgets. We are still a lean and mean organization. No one likes increases, but what would you cut out? That is my question.” A proposed budget will be distributed to council for review in early November before the Truth in Taxation meeting Nov. 27. The public has opportunity to comment at that meeting before a final budget and tax levy is adopted Dec. 11. In prior years, very few or no residents have attended the meetings, according to Rambow. He notes that residential property valuations are a county issue and must be addressed at the county level. It should also be noted that the preliminary tax levy approved by council can be lowered but not increased.

It was the DNR's contention that the court should stay the entire order so it does not have to litigate challenges to the permit process in an administrative law setting. Fifteen entities, including 11 municipalities, three country clubs and one business, have formally contested amendments to their water permits. Marrinan indicated in her order that the court inquired of DNR counsel at the hearing on remand about the number of requested administrative hearings and the amount of time anticipated for preparation and litigation. "Although counsel could not quantify the amount of time needed, it appears to be substantial," she wrote. Marrinan said it was the fi rst time the court has been given specific information on the potential extent of the administrative hearings. And since the effect of the legislation is to stay enforcement of these particular requirements, the court believes it appropriate to grant a stay to the extent of the issues as defi ned by the legislation. She went on to say a request by the DNR for a stay of the entire order is "overbroad" and denied it. Friends of the Court Several cities have fi led statements of amicus curiae in the Court of Appeals on behalf of the appellates — the DNR, city and township. The city attorney for Stillwater said its interest in this appeal is both public and private. In a brief fi led Aug. 17, attorney David Sienko, with LeVander, Gillen & Miller, wrote: "Stillwater’s water appropriation permit is subject to the district court’s Order because one of its wells is 4.99 miles from White Bear Lake — literally yards within the fivemile radius. "Stillwater was never a party to the underlying litigation, never mentioned in the complaint, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 2013 study that was the foundation for the lawsuit never mentioned Stillwater, and the district court never considered Stillwater a “municipality in question”. “But Stillwater is not alone. The City of Lake Elmo, the City of Oakdale, and St. Paul Regional Water Services are also affected by the district court’s Order because they fall within the Order’s five-mile radius, were not parties, and were not municipalities in question. Even more perplexing is that the Cities of Centerville, Columbus, and Forest Lake were included in the USGS study, determined to be municipalities in question, but excluded by the Order because

they fall outside the five-mile radius." Sienko said the 5-mile circle is an "arbitrary line in the sand," adding the District Court abused its discretion when it drew it around White Bear Lake, ignoring its own fi ndings and the hydrological conditions at the municipal wells. He asked the Appeals Court to remove the District Court’s conditions from the water appropriation permits for the Cities of Lake Elmo, Oakdale and Stillwater, and the St. Paul Regional Water Services. "This solves the problem created when trying to fit a five-mile round circle into a hydrologicallyshaped hole," he said. The city of Hugo also fi led an amicus curiae Aug. 20 claiming the court gave no deference to the DNR or its fi ndings of fact and fashioned its own remedy. That remedy was "errant and created significant problems for municipal water providers," noted city attorney David Snyder, with the fi rm Johnson & Turner. Hugo's attorney also called the 5-mile radius arbitrary, writing there is no justification for an invisible regulatory line around the perimeter of the lake. "If groundwater pumping does impact lake levels, then, obviously, the direction of the groundwater flow, rate of flow and shape of the bedrock aquifer would be a few, of many, factors in determining which wells contribute to lowering the lake," he wrote. "A lack of clarity in the order creates tremendous uncertainty. Any attempt by a city to comply with the court order or related DNR orders will be met with contrary interpretations that may need to be litigated. The stakes involving interpretations of the language are high because they will determine how every resident and every business in Hugo uses drinking water and will impact any proposed development or redevelopment project.” In his conclusion, Snyder asked that the trial court's ruling be reversed. The cities of Lake Elmo and North St. Paul, and the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce also fi led briefs of amicus curiae in support of the appellants. Resolution expected in spring In an update to City Council last week, White Bear Lake City Manager Ellen Hiniker said resolution through the appeals process should happen by spring. That may make the stay a moot point. Everything will be in to the Court of Appeals over the course of the next few weeks, Hiniker said. The city fi led its brief Aug. 13. The plaintiffs have a longer timeline and had not yet fi led as of the council meeting. A date will be set sometime this fall for oral arguments. The Court of Appeals then has 90 days to issue an opinion. "We anticipate something early 2019," noted the city manager. "This case would make a great paper for a Ph.D. candidate someday," Hiniker concluded.

Unique wetlands project treats polluted runoff before it hits St. Paul's water supply

SUBMITTED

A liner was placed beneath the engineered soils to divide wetland cells. The boxes sticking up are water level control structures, similar to what’s used in agricultural drainage. Water comes up from Whitaker Pond and is pumped via solar power through the treatment cells and directed into a nearby drainﬁeld.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) unveiled the Whitaker Treatment Wetlands at an open house last month at Columbia Park. The project is an innovative new method to treat polluted stormwater runoff, and serves as both a research project and a water filtration tool. It's the first of its kind in Minnesota. Studies show that Whitaker Pond, as well as Lambert Creek, are impaired for nutrients and E. coli bacteria. Because these water bodies drain into Vadnais Lake, the source of drinking water for St. Paul and the surrounding community, watershed improvements in this area are a top priority for VLAWMO. Using grant funds from the Minnesota Natural Resources Trust Fund and partnering with the University of Minnesota, VLAWMO pioneered a way to filter water from Whitaker Pond. The project uses three different treatment “cells,” each with its own engineered filtration material. One of these cells serves as a control, while the others act as experiments in the study. All of the cells are planted with native plants found in Minnesota wetlands. For the next five years of the project’s life, VLAWMO will collect data to see how effective each material is at filtering excess nutrients, E. coli and other

contaminants. The project itself, with all materials considered, is projected to last for 25 years. The effort was undertaken as a collaboration between municipalities, private contractors and the watershed district. Township Clerk-Treasurer Bill Short noted, “White Bear Township has been aware of water quality issues associated with Whitaker Pond for some time and values this opportunity to help facilitate the Whitaker Treatment Wetland by providing the site for it in Columbia Park. VLAWMO staff has been thoughtful, informative and cooperative throughout the planning, design, construction and operation of this interesting project. We commend VLAWMO for undertaking it and for their continuing efforts to address stormwater management and water quality in our watershed.” More information on the project is available at VLAWMO.org/projects.

LOOKING BACK Week of September, 17 - 21, 2018 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1918 Delphis Picard has taken over the Capitol Laundry route formerly held by Norman Bibeau, and solicits your patronage…. 1943 Mrs. J. A. Dougherty, 19 Lake Avenue, was named sweepstake winner at the Minnesota Garden Flower Society show held last week Thursday and Friday and Schuneman’s store in St. Paul. 1968 Some 125 White Bear Lake residents gathered last Saturday to help clean up the city’s most recently acquired 125-acre park. The park – still with no name-site is bounded by White Bear Avenue, County Road D, the new south District No. 624 high school site, and the also recently acquired Northeast YMCA acreage. 1993 Two Mahtomedi residents found themselves on the receiving end of a good deed when a complete stranger paid for a month’s worth of groceries. The lucky shoppers were a daughter and her mother, both over 65 years of age, who were standing in line at the Festival Foods, Saturday, Sept. 4th.

Zephyr gridders thump Pioneers; duel of 3-0 teams coming up BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Pinpoint passing, three takeaways by the defense and a solid ground game carried Mahtomedi to a 39-12 score over Hill-Murray at home Friday evening, Sept. 14. Mahtomedi is 3-0 against three teams with a 1-8 combined record. The Zephyrs will host another 3-0 team, St. Thomas Academy, on Friday. “We have been throwing the ball well, but we cleaned a few things up in our running game (against Hill-Murray) and hopefully that will continue. Defensively we have played pretty well all three games,” coach Dave Muetzel said. Jake Arlandson completed 13 of 16 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns. The Zephyrs have nine TD passes and no interceptions for the season. Erik Bjork opened the scoring on a pass from Arlandson from 22 yards out. The senior fullback carried eight times for 91 yards and had a six-yard touchdown. The other TD pass went to J’vonne Hadley from eight yards. The Zephyrs also scored on a safety. Kyle Oswald kicked a 21-yard field goal and three conversions. Hunter Hall closed the scoring with a 1-yard dive. Tyler Tangwall caught six passes for

Zephyr girls soccer goes 1-5 against slate of strong teams BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mahtomedi’s defending state Class A champion girls soccer team has lost five of its last six games, all against strong Class 2A teams. After a 3-0 start that included a 2-0 win over White Bear Lake (7-2), the Zephyrs fell to Stillwater (7-1-1) 2-0, Woodbury (4-2-1) 1-0, and East Ridge (61-1) 2-1, beat North St. Paul (3-6) 5-0 and lost to Cretin-Derham Hall (6-2) 2-0. “We play all of those teams every

year, and right now, we are not making our own luck,” said coach Dave Wald about the lack of scoring punch in those losses. “We are capable of beating them. We graduated a lot of key seniors and need people to step up into their roles.” Scoring goals against North were Anna Wagner (two), Audrey Sexson, Grace Padelford and Sonia Meyer, while Katelyn Bradley had a five-save shutout in her first goalie start.

Zephyr sophomore Ryann Buttke outswam her opponents to earn ﬁrst place in the 200 IM (02:29:01) and 100 breaststroke (01:18:03).

White Bear Lake’s two-game football win streak was snapped by East Ridge 43-28 in a freewheeling game Friday evening in Woodbury. A highlight for the Bears (2-1) was Brice Peters returning a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter that pulled them within 36-21. Cooper Anderson passed to Kevin Boeing for a 25-yard score and to Dominic Smith for a 31-yard score. Zach Griebel had the final TD on a oneyard dive. Nicholas Blanding kicked four extra points. Anderson completed 10 of 18 for 190 yards.

Sophomore skater with ‘great potential’ exits Bears BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

It’s a huge decision for a 16-year-old to make, leaving home and family behind to start pursuing your dream. However, hockey player Owen Gallatin jumped at the chance to sign up for two years with USA Hockey’s under-17 national team based in Plymouth, Michigan. “My parents were proud that I had this opportunity and encouraged me to go,” said Gallatin, who had an excellent freshman season for a strong White Bear Lake (24-4-3) team. “Obviously, they were saddened to see their son leave this early, but they were real positive about it and let me make the decision.” The 5-8, 155-pound defenseman from Hugo, son of Dan and Tonya, is living with a host family in Plymouth and attending four classes a day at Plymouth

High School before heading to the rink at National Team Development Camp. Team USA will play in Blaine this weekend, Sept. 21 and 22, against the Northeast Generals on Friday at 8 p.m. and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday at 7 p.m. “I’m really excited about that,” Gallatin said. “A lot of my friends have said they’ll come to see us play.” The national squad will compete in the United States Hockey League against teams with players 18 to 20 years old. They’ll play in three international U17 tournaments, in Nova Scotia, Sweden, and on their own rink in Michigan. Gallatin, already committed to Minnesota-Duluth, was scouted by Team USA the last two summers while playing for Minnesota Blades. They invited him to a tryout, which he attended after the high school season. Once the staff decided they wanted him,

he was offered a two-year contract, with two weeks to decide. He accepted and reported to the camp Aug. 28. Last winter, as a rare freshman starter, Gallatin was the Bears’ fourth-leading scorer with Owen Gallatin three goals and 24 assists, and had a plus-12 rating. “Owen has some great potential,” said Bears coach Tim Sager. “This is a great opportunity for him.” A few players that had the opportunity to leave previously, Sager said, decided to stay with their high school team, then join the elite team afterwards. “Each athlete has to decide what path they want to take. We wish him nothing but the best.” Gallatin is one of three Minnesotans on

the 21-player roster from 14 states. The others are from Maple Grove. The coaching staff is headed by Seth Appert of Cottage Grove. Already set for one of the top college programs in the nation in Duluth, Gallatin said he hopes for a shot at the professional ranks, too. “The main thing is to help my development as a hockey player,” explained Gallatin about his decision. “NTDP offers the best training facilities. You play against the best players in the country every day in practice. You compete in the USHL and international tournaments. So it’s nothing like Minnesota high school hockey.” Gallatin said he has no regrets about missing the high school hockey experience “except for all the good friends I’ve made in hockey. I will miss them.”

St. Jude’s school mascot waddles into first week of class BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Penguins and students have something in common — they both learn from reading. That's what St. Jude of the Lake elementary students learned on their second day of school Sept. 5, when a penguin from the Como Zoo came to visit. Zoo staff build relationships with penguins by spending time reading to them, said Education Specialist Anne Ahiers. She reads books to penguins in the education program to help them get used to her voice and become comfortable with her, she noted. It took three months for Cupid to learn to trust her so she could take him out to visit children in schools. Ahiers brought Cupid to the school in a cat carrier. It waddled around a glass enclosure while students received a lesson on penguins — their school mascot. Students had the chance to walk past Cupid's glass enclosure and see him up close. Cupid is one of the zoo's most outgoing penguins, Ahiers said. “Cupid loves people,” she noted. “He comes running out into the exhibit at the zoo.” The zoo has 10 African penguins. The oldest, Noodles, 38, is one of the oldest penguins in the world. The African penguin is endangered due to habitat loss but lives in lots of zoos and breeds easily, Ahiers noted. If the wild population becomes further threatened, zoos could help repopulate the penguin in the wild. Students also learned that penguins have countershading camouflage.

The black on their back blends into the dark ocean and protects them from predators above. The white on their tummy blends into the sky above the ocean and protects them from predators below. They are prey to many species, including sea lions and seabirds. Having camouflage also helps them catch fish. Students watched Cupid eat several smelts while at the school. The penguin has been the school's mascot for about 20 years but its use in the school has increased in the last couple of years, said Principal Carrie Hackman. Students voted on a name two years ago — Snowflake. The mascot, in costume form, visits with students every month. The school has a penguin rewards program for students. Stuffed penguins and pictures can be seen throughout the school. “It's absolutely a hoot to walk through the building,” Hackman said. Hackman reached out to the zoo on a whim to see if there might be an opportunity for students to engage with the zoo's penguins. She was shocked to learn the zoo has an educational penguin program that travels to schools. “I thought it was great and connected us to the mascot,” said parent Stephanie Jakobich. She has three students in the school. “I love the fact that penguins get read to,” she added. Parent Kari McGrath, the school's enrollment coordinator, concurred and they both imagined students reading to stuffed animal penguins throughout the school year.

District brainstorming building renovations BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

White Bear Lake Area Schools is seeking community members to join facilities committees this year to brainstorm how its buildings could be updated in the future. There is 1.8 million square feet of building space in the district, said Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations Tim Wald at a board meeting Sept. 10. “Maintaining that amount of space is a big commitment,” he noted. The district is considering a facilities referendum to provide needed updates. But first, priorities will need to be identified by community members and staff. Updates are needed due to increasing numbers of students and other changes, Wald said. The district has added about 600 students in the last six

years. “That's a lot of bodies and staff to make sure we have adequate space for,” Wald said. There have been population changes in the district that have led to growth. Lakeaires Elementary recently experienced 13 percent growth due to housing turnover on the south side of town. The district added all-day kindergarten in recent years. “It about doubled the number of classroom spaces you need for kindergarten,” he noted. Athletic teams have also been added — boys swimming and full varsity boys and girls lacrosse. Field adequacy will be discussed. The committees will look at the high school's split campus structure and assess whether it fits the district's needs. They will also look at “several significant developments in Hugo” and how those should affect the district's facility planning, Wald said.

The goal is to ensure learning environments enhance students' educational experience, one of the points in the district's new strategic plan created last year. There will be three committees of 25-30 people each, comprised of community members and staff. One will focus on learning spaces, one on community spaces and activities and one on physical conditions. The three committees will report to a fourth steering committee, responsible for coordination. The district has collected demographic data, analyzed enrollment trends and completed a facilities study that the committees will use to recommend decisions, Wald said. Committees will begin meeting in October and report to the school board on recommendations in January. They will then reconvene to develop plans through the spring.

Applications for the committees are due Sept. 24. Members will be notified of selection by Oct. 1 and the first meeting will be held Oct. 9. Applications can be found on the district's website at http://www.isd624.org/news The board approved the plans for the facility planning committees at its Sept. 10 meeting. The board also approved a pre-referendum contract with Kraus-Anderson Construction Company to contribute to facilities planning at no cost with the idea that if a facilities referendum is passed in the future, the company would oversee the construction. It is wise to have not just excited staff and architects in the meetings, Wald noted, but also realists who can say how much an idea will really cost.

WHITE BEAR LAKE SCHOOL BOARD NOTES

New Mahtomedi superintendent outlines goals BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — Superintendent Barb Duffrin outlined her goals for the year at a school board meeting Sept. 13. She plans to strengthen internal and external relationships throughout the district and intends to engage with staff, students, parents and community leaders. Her second goal is to initiate a strategic planning process for the district. She plans to coordinate a team including board members, administration, teachers, staff, students, parents and community members to help plan the district's future. Thirdly, she hopes to provide clear information regarding budget development and the operating levy. Specifically, she plans to host meetings with elected offi-

cials, city and school leaders to share budget information. She also plans to hold informational meetings in each school building for staff. The board also announced its goals for the year. The first is to foster a positive and productive partnership with Duffrin. The second is to nurture collaborative partnerships between local leaders and organizations. The third is to guide budget development in partnership with district administration. Board member Lucy Payne suggested a mid-year time to review the board’s goals. Board members discussed doing so at their January retreat. In other action, the school board: • Recognized the new student representative to the school board, Luke Wisniewski. “I

am excited we have a student voice here at the table,” Duffrin said. • Heard an update on the district's upcoming operating levy increase vote. There are several upcoming community meetings about the operating levy. The next meeting is at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 25 at O.H. Anderson Elementary in the flex space. Early voting begins Sept. 21. It can be done via mail or in person at the Washington County Government Center in Stillwater. There is no reason needed to request an absentee ballot. For more information, visit sos.state. mn.us. • Heard a presentation on the proposed 2019 levy amount. The preliminary proposed levy for taxes payable in 2019 is $13.76 million. It was $13.63 million this year. A hearing will be held Dec. 13.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — In action Sept. 10, the school board: • Recognized the new student representative, senior Mekena Pratt. She was last year's alternate. Madison Carroll is the alternate this year. • Discussed implementation of the district's new strategic plan this year. There will be quarterly progress reports on the implementation of the new strategic plan, said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak. There are eight strategies on which the plan is based. Strategies include ensuring each student is the primary agent in their learning; expanding access to a broad range of opportunities for all students; fostering community engagement and partnerships; building organizational capacity; ensuring learning environments enhance students’ educational experience; engaging families as partners in the education of their children; embracing all cultures with humility and respect; and ensuring the social and emotional growth of students. Priority will be given to four concrete areas this year in light of the strategic plan: the comprehensive facilities

planning process, elementary specialist program review, middle school program review and completion of site-level plans. • Heard an opening week enrollment report from Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations Tim Wald. There were 8,663 students the first week of school, up 47, or an increase of 0.5 percent from last school year. • Reported on Kazmierczak’s performance. He has met expectations in all areas, reported Vice Chair Kim Chapman. • Held the first reading on seven school board policies with proposed minor changes. The Plans and LEP Students policy is recommended for deletion because it applied to graduation-required assessments that are not required by the state for graduation. • Approved a change to the district's credit card issuer. The new cards will have better rebates. • Approved a tentative agreement with the Administrators' Association on a 2018-2019 contract. Sara Marie Moore

Path to nowhere: Summer passes without resolution BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — Over the past winter, the majority population of the Wildridge Pines and Echo Lake neighborhoods had hoped that when spring 2018 arrived, the legal dispute between the people of Mahtomedi and the property owner at 970 Pineview Court over ownership of a path connecting the two neighborhoods would be resolved in their favor and that the path would be up and running for use during the summer. Instead, not only is there only half a path available to the citizens (the southern half), but giant thistles, ragweed and other weeds have taken over the Wildridge Pines half (north) of the path. It all started in October 2017 when residents in the Wildridge Pines and Echo Lake neighborhoods who walked their dogs, learned to ride a bike or walked to a friend's house on the path between neighborhoods discovered that their safe link had been torn up. The property owner of 969 Wildridge Court, Dennis Sonnek, who has held that 95 percent of the path sits on his property, came home from work one day only to find heavy construction equipment in his yard and the Wildridge half of the path destroyed. Sonnek and his neighbors packed the Oct. 3, 2017 City Council meeting to voice their concerns at the destruction of the path that sheltered them

from having to travel on the shoulder of busy Lincolntown Avenue. Residents in both the Echo Lake and Wildridge Pines neighborhoods asserted that because the city had been maintaining the path year round, including plowing snow during the winter, that the path was a city pedestrian access easement. Brown signs on the trail that the city installed also suggested public ownership. That was what the city had hoped to prove, after surveying property lines and researching the history of property ownership, rights of way and adverse possession. After long legal discussions, the property owner at 970 Wildridge Court, Katherine Verzhbitska-Radzills, and the city of Mahtomedi sued each other over ownership. The city filed a lawsuit late in 2017 to seek a declaration as to its rights regarding the pedestrian access easement that was created in 1992. At that time, as part of the requirements contained in the subdivision development agreement, an 8-foot bituminous walkway was installed by the developer within a 20-foot pedestrian access easement in order to connect Wildridge Pines 2nd Addition to a future residential development to the south, which later became known as the Echo Lake Addition. Earlier this year, Sonnek and the mortgage company for the property owner at 970 Wildridge Court stipulated that the

city owns trail easement rights. However, Radzills and her attorneys are still litigating with the city over those rights. The suit, filed in the Tenth District Court last November, is currently in the discovery phase, where litigating parties exchange information. The next phase will be a request by the city for summary judgment, in which the city will ask the judge to find that the city owns the easement rights without going to a full trial. Summary judgment can take place if there are no disputed material issues of fact, and that the party (in this case, the city) is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. If the judge declines to grant summary judgment, the case will go before a jury. According to the District Court Scheduling Order, a trial has been scheduled for June 3, 2019, City Attorney Jay Karlovich said. After the decision has been rendered, either party can appeal. With an appeal, the case could be tied up in courts for much longer than a year. Because judgment has yet to be rendered, any activity by the city at the site is suspended for at least one year. Not all activity was suspended, however. A permit was approved and a large wooden fence has been erected at the east-west property line of the path since the case originally went to court. In addition, a smaller wire fence has been conveniently placed to keep the towering ragweed and thistle plants taking up space on the northern end of the path in and

bikers and walkers out. The owner of the property at 201 Dunbar Way wondered why the wire fence, which encroaches on his land by approximately 1 to 2 feet, is allowed to remain. Karlovich said that the city has no legal right to enforce what is a homeowners association covenant (erecting a fence) or to become involved in a private boundary line dispute (on whose property the fence sits). The Dunbar Way property owner said he would wait until judgment on the path's easement rights is finalized before doing anything about the property line. As the residents of Echo Lake face another winter without the use of their access path, they may be able to take comfort in the fact that the two fences and thick thistle plants should make an excellent barrier against the chill from the north.

F) 2019-2020 Proposed Software Changes-Bill Menozzi, Director of Business Services, reported TIES will discontinue service as a finance and human resource/payroll software system on June 30, 2019. Menozzi stated the district staff heard presentations from 3 vendors: Skyward School Management, PowerSchool Education Technology and Smart Technologies and compared the costs over the next 5 years to account for initial investment, installation and support. Menozzi recommended using Skyward School Management Software starting July 1, 2019.

Mahtomedi receives and spends $1,200 less per student than other metro districts. Menozzi demonstrated the tax impact calculator on the district’s website and explained the tiered levy structure, which would revoke the current $743.74 per pupil voter approved authority and replace it with $1,020 in 2019-2021, $1,295 in 2022-24 and $1,570 in 2025-28.

Energy company helping cities drive toward electric fleet MINNEAPOLIS – Xcel Energy is working with cities and organizations, including the city of White Bear Lake, to help prepare for an electric vehicle future. As more electric vehicle models come onto the market, they’re becoming increasingly appealing to fleet owners as a way to lower costs and carbon footprint. HealthPartners and the cities of Bloomington, Faribault, Fridley, Hastings, Inver Grove Heights, St. Louis Park, White Bear Lake, Winona and Woodbury are just a few of the dozen that are participating in a study that will help determine if any of their current fleet vehicles could be

replaced with electric vehicles (EVs). As part of this study, Xcel Energy is working with FleetCarma to install tracking technology on selected fleet vehicles from each city or organization. The devices monitor how the vehicles are being used and will track mileage traveled, fuel efficiency and idling time. This data will help identify which vehicles are best suited to be replaced with an EV model, based on the financial and environmental benefits. “Many of our large customers are looking at innovative ways to reduce costs, meet sustainability goals and prepare for

the future,” said Chris Clark, president, Xcel Energy-Minnesota. “Electric vehicles can provide a great opportunity for communities and companies to reduce carbon emissions and save on fuel and other costs.” Xcel Energy is doing the study as part

White Bear Lake Area Schools is among 20 schools across the state to implement a new staff innovation program developed by UnitedHealthcare. The company has been mentoring more and more districts over the last several years in a program that gathers ideas from staff on the front lines of work, using a method the company has found to be successful. This year, White Bear Lake Area Schools accepted UnitedHealthcare's offer to mentor the district, said Mark Garrison, director of technology and innovation. It's called the Big Sleuth. The district will gather ideas from teachers and staff from Oct. 1 to 17 through an online platform, he explained. From Oct. 18 to Nov. 4, staff can look at each other's ideas and comment on them. “We want people to build community around their idea,” Garrison said. Staff will then vote on ideas. Three small ideas costing $0-1,000, two medium ideas costing $1,000-$5,000 and one big idea costing over $5,000 will come out on top. The district did not need to obtain special funding for the program; it

The ideas that did not come out on top will not be discarded, Garrison noted. Administration will meet with each staff person who had an idea. Idea lists from each school will also be given to principals for possible implementation. The goal is to engage more people in decision-making and elevate ideas, Garrison said. “No adult is in a better position in our district than teachers to elevate their ideas,” Garrison said. “Organizations that have this mentality — (their) staff feel buy-in.” North Campus Assistant Principal Angela Nelson is also starting to work on a student version of the program beginning this year. The first district to start an idea program in partnership with UnitedHealthcare — Minnetonka — has seen innovative ideas come to be, Garrison said, including an online school, research lab and business school on a separate campus.

Eagle Scouts Troop 639

FOREST LAKE

NOW OPEN NOW HIRING ALL POSITIONS

The Boy Scouts of America has awarded the rank of Eagle Scout to three local Scouts in a ceremony held August 19 at the North Star Museum of Scouting in North St. Paul. Scouts Brian Foran, Joey Tillman and Eddie Brody are members of Shoreview/North Oaks Troop 639. All are recent graduates of Mounds View High School and have participated in scouting together since attending Turtle Lake Elementary School. For his Eagle Service Project, Foran designed and led a team of volunteers to construct a butterﬂy garden at Battle Creek Park. In addition to Scouts, Brian participated in Soccer and Ultimate Frisbee. Brian was also the Mounds View High School President of National Honor Society, National Merit Commended Scholar and a member of the Quiz Bowl team, which competed nationally. Brian will be attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison in the fall. His parents are Gary and Katie Foran of Vadnais Heights. For his project, Tillman led a group of volunteers in constructing a memorial garden at Lake Owasso Residence in Shoreview. Joey also was presented with a proclamation from Mayor Sandy Martin for earning Eagle Rank at a City Council meeting. Joey will be attending Century College in the fall. Joey will continue on with Troop 639 as an Assistant Scoutmaster. In addition to Scouting, Joey participated in Football and Track at Mounds View High School. His parents are Rick and Patty Tillman of Shoreview. Brody’s service project was a memorial garden at North Heights Church in memory of 2 of his classmates that passed away, Bridget Giere and Stephanie Carlson. Eddie participated in Cross County, Track and Jazz Band at Mounds View High School. He was also the President of the Youth in Government delegation at Mounds View High School and a member of the National Honor Society. Eddie will be attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison in the fall. His parents are Bill Brody and Bronwen Cound of North Oaks. Nationally, only about four percent of Scouts go on to earn the Eagle award. Troop 639 meets at the East Rec. Center in North Oaks on Monday nights and is chartered to the North Oaks Homeowners Association. The Scouts would like to thank all those who have led, volunteered, and showed them support through their years in Scouting.

The White Bear Area Loon Chronicles III: A mist of Autumn Historic House Tour 2018 Sunday, September 30th

"Tropical temps aside, Autumn is definitely in the air. Colors are starting to pop, especially in the War Zone and on the southeast shore of Manitou Island. The Loons are keeping a low profile and spending most of their time on neighboring lakes. The early morning parties remain on hold. Fortunately, the water skiers have filled the void for us. Simply amazing performances! The Eagles have been spending most of their time on or around the peninsula, which used to be the preferred venue for the rafting bachelor Loons, who have been MIA for the last few weeks. The old warrior Loons are the newest drop-ins. Their white markings around their bills give them away every time; like the white whiskers on older dogs. Earlier this week, we were treated to a spectacular air show by a huge squadron of White Pelicans. Most of the murmuration was out of camera range, but it was a spectacle to behold. We counted at least 75 Pelicans, all heading west. Our chick continues to thrive and take it all in as the next season starts to unfold. This morning, we spotted her keeping company with the old warriors. Smart move."

Classical music series debuts, celebrates new Steinway The Hanifl Performing Arts Center has announced an inaugural piano series, The Nicholson Family Classical Music Series, celebrating its new Steinway concert grand. The series showcases five piano extravaganzas featuring three young pianists, a full orchestra and the rarity of a new piano play. The series opens with a solo piano recital by Emma Taggart att 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 7. Emma, age 16, of Blaine, has been chosen as featured local artist for the season. In 2018, Emma won both the Concerto Competition of the Minnesota Orchestra and the Rising Star Competition of the SUBMITTED LaCrosse Symphony Emma Taggart Orchestra. In 2019, she will perform 12 times with the Minnesota Orchestra. She won the Grand Prix at the St. Petersburg, Russia, International Competition “Music in Palaces,” and first prize at the Maria Herrero International Piano Competition in Granada, Spain. She was a guest performer at Orchestra Hall as part of a benefit concert given by Sheila E., Prince’s former drummer and fiancée. In addition, she was honored with the $10,000 Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award and with two Schubert Club Special Awards Grants. She has studied with Dr. Reid Smith in Dellwood for more than 10 years. On Saturday, Dec. 1 at 2 p.m., Taggart Squared will play. This young brother and sister piano duo —Jacob, 12, and Emma, 16 — has already achieved national and international recognition. Taggart Squared won first place in the U.S. International Duo Competition and SUBMITTED recently made its Taggart Squared second appearance on NPR’s “From The Top” in Boston.

The first local orchestra — The Golden Valley Orchestra — will be featured at 7 p.m. Feb. 17, 2019. The orchestra is comprised of more than 35 amateur and professional musicians and was established in the 1970s as a small reading orchestra. For 30-plus years, the Golden Valley Orchestra has devoted its energy to advocating for the arts by bringing music to those in need at care facilities and to the local community. Lead by Artistic Director and Conductor Michal Sobieski, the GVO has developed into a viable part of the community and is committed to serving the community through informative and entertaining performances.

The fifth offering for the season will be the premier of a piano play: “Adele aus der Ohe.” The German pianist, Adele aus der Ohe, was perhaps the most important female student of the great Franz Liszt. She was SUBMITTED much sought after Adele aus der Ohe in America in the late 1800s and early 1900s as the first performer at many important venues, as a pianist who somehow could bestow a “blessing” on newly founded institutions. Thus, she was asked to play the first concert in Carnegie Hall in New York City, the first concert for the Schubert Club in St. Paul, and was the first pianist to perform with the new Minneapolis Symphony (now our Minnesota Orchestra). This new play highlights her time in Minnesota and in New York and then her difficult life in Berlin, Germany, after World War I. Live piano music is featured throughout the play. At the play’s premier at 2 p.m. June 1 and 7 p.m. June 2, at the request of several donors, the 9-foot Steinway concert grand will be dedicated to this revered pianist in memory of her contributions to the early concert life in the Twin Cities. Her 1890 oil portrait, recently acquired in Dresden, Germany, a rare original photograph with her teacher, Franz Liszt, and other historical documents, including court pianist proclamations signed by King Friedrich of Saxony and Kaiser Wilhelm II, will be on display for all to enjoy. The author of the play, Dellwood resident LaWayne Leno, will also sign his biography, “The Untold Story of Adele aus der Ohe, From a Liszt Student to a Virtuoso.” "Please join us as we celebrate our inaugural season of The Nicholson Family Classical Music Series,” said Smith, the Art Center's classical music series director. “You will be enveloped by the incredible sound of our new Steinway piano and experience a showcase of some of the best young pianists in our area, a special season of concerts not to be missed."
