Keys to Polar Chev shift gears

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The sale of Polar Chevrolet/Mazda to Walser Auto Group isn’t expected to close until October, but the deal has been cooking for months.

There will be changes. One notable exception: The 50-year-old polar bear perched above the dealership will stay.

“He will get moved away from the building, but the bear will absolutely remain on the property,” assured General Manager Jim Thelen. “That is nonnegotiable. The bear is part of the family.”

Longtime Polar owner Thane Hawkins will remain a managing partner with the Walser corporation, the same company he’s sold four dealerships to over the years, but he preferred to keep the percentage quiet.

Hawkins, 77, has been selling cars for 45 years, starting at a Bloomington dealership that happened to be owned

by Jack Walser, patriarch of the family business.

“I was a laid-off Northwest Airlines pilot and practically on food stamps,” Hawkins said. “(Wife) Blanche told me to get out of the house and find a job. A pilot friend of mine got a job selling used cars for Walser and encouraged me to apply for a job. I was hired on the spot.”

What people may not know about the Dellwood resident is he graduated from the Naval Academy and spent seven years in the Air Force flying B47 bombers before joining Northwest Airlines.

Not long after working for Walser and while in his early 30s, Hawkins took an opportunity to buy a Dodge dealership from the father of Paul Rubin, owner of the White Bear Superstore. That led to the purchase of Hopkins Dodge and then a Lincoln/Mercury dealership in White Bear Lake. And so it began. In those days, Hawkins said, dealerships were more reasonable to buy and banks were more generous.

He has owned Polar Chevrolet for 38 years.

Admitting he’s “getting long in the tooth,” Hawkins felt it was time to take the next step in succession for Polar.

“My children aren’t interested in the car business, and the idea of a partner was attractive to me,” he said.

First responders answer call for medical relief in hurricane aftermath

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

After being rescued from her roof in a town 20 miles outside Houston, a dehydrated and hungry woman showed up in the medical tent about midnight at a shelter where White Bear Lake Fire Department EMS Manager Matt Bouthilet had spent the last nine days treating patients in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.

She hadn’t eaten or drunk anything for three days. As the water rose around her house, the hungry

woman said her thoughts turned to another hungry creature.

“She said, ‘The alligators are hungry, too,’” Bouthilet recalled. The woman’s sense of humor in the wake of a devastating event inspired him.

“She was so upbeat about it,” he said. “But you could see the fears she had.”

The woman was one of the last patients the Minnesota Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) treated for dehydration before heading back SEE HURRICANE, PAGE 8A

Foundation co-launching new leadership initiative A community-based initiative called Leadership Tomorrow will prepare, engage and challenge participants through a 10-month program beginning in January 2018. The program is a joint initiative of the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation (GWBLCF), White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce, White Bear Lake Rotary and The AWL group. The monthly training will combine leadership skill development and a raised awareness of local community.

“The greater White Bear Lake area has an incredibly strong community of civic and business organizations,” said Ryan Steen, GWBLCF board member and chair of the Leadership Tomorrow Advisory Committee. “But we need to ask ourselves, ‘Who are the future civic and volunteer leaders going to be?’ At the (Greater White Bear Lake Community) foundation, we believe that deliberate action is needed

to develop tomorrow’s leaders.”

Eighteen to 20 participants will have the opportunity to connect with local leaders, develop practical leadership skills, explore community leadership roles and learn about the needs, opportunities and challenges facing the community. The outcome of the program is to increase leadership ability and passion, as well as the overall capacity to make the community a great place to live and work.

Applications will be available online starting Oct. 1 at www. greaterwblfoundation.org/ leadershiptomorrow and will be accepted until Nov. 10. Brief interviews may be held with applicants. Notification of acceptance into the program will be completed by Dec. 1.

Jackie Reis, executive director of the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation, is hopeful that the inaugural cohort of Leadership Tomorrow participants will include representa-

Helping the homeless

tives from business, government, education, nonprofit organizations and residents at large.

“This program is not limited to a specific professional, geographic, age, gender and ethnic background. We want it to be diverse.”

Tuition for Leadership Tomorrow is $350 and covers all instruction, activities, program materials, meals and graduation expenses. Partial scholarships are available; a separate application must be submitted for scholarship assistance.

Information sessions about the program will be held at Wildwood Library in Mahtomedi on Sept. 28 at 5 p.m. and at White Bear Country Inn on Oct. 5 at 7:30 a.m. If you’re interested in Leadership Tomorrow or know of someone who may be, visit the foundation’s website, greaterwblfoundation.org, email jackier@ greaterwblfoundation.org, or call 651-408-5412.

The Otter Lake Dog Park is a popular destination for owners and their canines: dogs can run to their heart’s content off leash. Access is available from the parking lot at 5750 Otter Lake Road.

County gets wish list from dog park users

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Since Ramsey County parks people were asking, off-leash dog park users listed amenities they’d like to see in a master plan. Ranked by importance, the top five were size of off-leash area; paths for walking; shade trees or structure; dog drinking fountain or hose bib and No. 5, a natural water play area.

The top concern for the dog park at Bald Eagle-Otter Lakes Regional Park: site improvements.

The county parks department received a whopping 1,200 responses to a recent survey sent to off-leash dog park users. Staff is following up the survey with open houses to share results and gather public feedback before designing a master plan for its four dog parks.

The first meeting was Sept. 11 at Tamarack Nature Center. Poster boards and maps were displayed at the visitor center summarizing survey results.

Miscellaneous statistics indicated 74 percent of survey respondents use a Ramsey County off-leash dog park; 19 percent of those visit Otter Lake. Battle Creek is the biggest and most heavily used at 36 percent.

More than half the respondents feel there are not enough off-leash dog parks in the county; 57 percent feel the quality of the parks meet current needs and 19 percent feel they need improvement. Only 5 percent said they volunteer for care and upkeep of the dog parks. Ramsey County relies on volunteers to maintain the parks.

Recreation Services Supervisor Jennifer Fink said one response that stood out was whether people are willing to donate time to upkeep and maintenance. Of those responding, 32 percent said it was “very likely” they would contribute; 55 percent said “yes, possibly, depending on the long-term plan for investment.”

“That was very telling,” said Fink. “It told us people want improvements and are willing to help fund them, but they want to know what the plan is first. It’s our responsibility now to create that plan so we have the ability to go after funding.”

There is no talk about charging a user fee, Fink added. “There was a large uprising when there was talk about imposing a fee. It is very unpopular among the commissioners.”

A request to designate an area by the Ramsey County beach for off-leash dogs was also proposed by White Bear Lake resident Mike Brooks, who compiled a three-ring binder outlining his reasoning.

Brooks maintains that a strip of land adjoining the beach is underutilized and would provide a local, permanent

solution to the dog beach location that conflicts with homes, swimmers and boaters at Matoska Park.

The area is the same proposed this summer for a boat park by several residents. That proposal was nixed by Jon Oyanagi, director of Ramsey County Parks and Recreation, citing incompatible use.

Fink doesn’t think Brooks’ suggestion will gain traction either.

“We’re concerned about safety implications due to boat traffic and wind surfers who take off from the beach,” Fink said. “There would be conflict between users. Ultimately, we don’t believe a dog beach at the county park will work.”

Are there other possibilities for offleash parks involving water? “That is what we’re trying to determine,” replied Fink, who is a White Bear Lake resident and dog owner herself.

“We have identified water access as a need so we’re looking at other locations to see if something is available. There is nothing right now readily popping up to us.”

Fink noted that she has taken her two dogs to the city-owned dog beach at Matoska Park and found it “very quiet.

There were no barking dogs while I was there,” she said.

The county’s goal is to create consistency for all its off-leash dog areas, Fink pointed out. “We want to make sure we’re working toward a plan with maintenance and funding mechanisms.

We hope to have it done by March.”

According to Fink, funding has been dedicated for some of the improvements through the Metropolitan Council regional parks system.

Israel: complex and intense

I

N JUNE, KATHY and I visited the Holy Land on a tour coordinated by Bethel University.

It was a remarkable experience spending two weeks in the small country where Jesus was born, taught and turned the world upside down.

The trip gave us a better understanding of Biblical history.

Before we returned to the United States, we had an evening where the 40 of us on the tour shared experiences, discoveries and what we learned about this tiny nation which has impacted history.

Alan and Becky Johnson of Big Sky, Montana, our friends through the Bethel Board of Regents, About the remarked it was a tension-filled country with division, and Jerusalem was a city of walls.

Town Joe and Mary King of Wayzata Gene Johnson remarked on the diversity of Herod the Great vs. Caesars. They also felt f lt the th humanity h i of Caesars was tangible and were amazed at how the Dead Sea is really for healing. By the way, Mary grew up in Vadnais Heights and graduated in 1974 from White Bear Lake Area High School.

Becky Wahlund of Shoreview talked about how valuable the water is and how water affects political and economic regulations.

Dan and Judy Jackson of Oakdale, formerly of White Bear Lake, felt this experience brought the Bible to life and brought a better understanding of the Wailing Wall and the trial that Jesus faced.

Our guide, Ariel, was very knowledgeable about the Old Testament Bible, history and politics of Israel. He refers to Jerusalem as the “crazy city.”

Ariel went on to explain his family history. All of them were killed during the Holocaust when Poland was invaded except a grandmother who was away in Brazil and stayed there until the war was over.

Bethel President Jay and Barb Barnes noted that the discoveries by archaeologists over the years continue to confi rm the accuracy of the Bible.

President Jay challenged us to be willing to stand up for Christ with a commitment to a bigger view of the world.

For me, the fi rst day was information overload.

Kathy worked very hard at taking pictures and fi lling several notebooks with information.

Israel is a very hilly and mountainous country which surprised me. The Sea of Galilee is beautiful. The Dead Sea is 1,300 feet below sea level and fi lled with many valuable minerals that are harvested. You only have to go waist deep in 32 percent salt water and your legs will come right up off the bottom. You have to be careful not to get the salt water in your eyes, but they have lifeguards nearby and eye wash facilities.

There are multiple layers of different civilizations and it’s hard to imagine how they were destroyed and rebuilt using the same stones.

It’s absolutely amazing how this small country can survive. Today they are recognized worldwide for their advances in science and technology.

The Holocaust Museum brings about many emotions. There were exhibits and videos of real life stories done by many who lived through the horror.

Many of the famous sites like the Garden of Gethsemane, the Tomb and Golgotha were indicated in several locations based on different historical and religious references and claims. Our guide often said, “This is the traditional site, this is the Catholic site and this is the Protestant site.”

We felt safe throughout the trip and yet the government and people of various ethnic backgrounds create tension. Kathy and I feel this was probably the most meaningful, educational and inspirational travel experience we have ever had.

The making of an Extension Master Gardener

T

he term “Master Gardener” can be a little confusing to someone who is not familiar with the University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardener (EMG) Program. EMGs are volunteers trained by Extension educators and faculty to help connect research-based horticulture resources from the University of Minnesota to educate citizens on practices in Gardener’s best gardening while Grapevine also addressing important issues in our environLynne Hagen ment. EMGs are not expected to be experts, but they are equipped with many resources to help guide consumers with helpful information. In 2016, there were 2,336 EMG volunteers who served over 142,00 hours in Minnesota.

EMG volunteers come with many different skills and experiences. The common denominator is that they all join with the desire for life-long learning, the willingness to share with others what they learn and for the camaraderie they have with other gardeners.

There is an application and

“Anyone who is interested in becoming an EMG must complete an application before Oct. 2 to be considered for the 2018 cohort.” educational process that must be completed before someone can volunteer to become an EMG. Desirable candidates must have demonstrated gardening experience and computer/internet searching skills. Anyone who is interested in becoming an EMG must complete an application before Oct. 2 to be considered for the 2018 cohort.

Once an applicant is accepted into the program, they will take the EMG Core Course.

This course is offered on select Fridays and Saturdays in January and February. Some of the modules that are taught include: fruits and vegetables, herbaceous plants, entomology, lawn care, integrated pest management, plant pathology and tree and shrub care. Classes are offered at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum with online options as well. The fee for the Core Course

is $320, which covers the cost of materials and a background screening. Early Bird applicants will receive a $50 rebate (upon acceptance in the program and the completion of their internship) if their application is received by Sept. 18.

The EMG internship begins after the Core Course is completed. All new EMG Interns will be matched with experienced volunteers in their fi rst year. There is a minimum volunteer requirement of 50 hours in the fi rst year and 25 hours each year after that to maintain an active EMG status.

It is not uncommon to fi nd volunteers who have been in the program for over 10, or even 25, years. One EMG commented, “The program is wonderful. The people are amazing.” An EMG who is newer in the program stated, “This has been a wonderful experience and has opened up a whole new world for me and I am very glad I joined the program.”

They all agree that even with years of gardening experience, they are amazed at how much they learn about horticulture from being in the program.

Lynne Hagen is an Extension Master Gardener in Anoka County and Anoka County Master Gardener Program Coordinator.

‘Sandwich generation’ growing in numbers Among the 12,000 walkers who took to Target Field Sept. 9 in the Twin Cities Walk to End Alzheimer’s was Shanna McIntosh, a White Bear Lake native, walking for her mother.

Chris Olson was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer’s 10 years ago at the age of 58. She’s now in the late stages of the disease and cared for by McIntosh. With children of her own, McIntosh is part of the growing “sandwich generation” of caregivers, meaning she cares for an aging parent and children under 18.

According to Bridget Rissmann, public relations manager for Alzheimer’s Association Minnesota-North Dakota, 25 percent of dementia caregivers are just like McIntosh.

The Centerville resident was featured

in a special Promise Garden ceremony at the Walk where she shared her story holding a yellow Promise Flower, signifying she’s a caregiver.

McIntosh says her mother is her inspiration. “I walk to honor the love, commitment and dedication caregivers provide every day in the face of such a heartbreaking disease.”

This year’s annual Alzheimer’s walk, ranked first in the nation, raised $1.3 million, Rissmann said. Their 2017 goal is $1.5 million. The organization is accepting donations dedicated to Alzheimer’s support and research through the end of the year. For more information, visit alz.org/Walk.

League of Women Voters announce White Bear candidate forum

In the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Reports Sept. 13 it was noted that “unpleasantness” occurred between a husband and wife, resulting in the wife obtaining an order for protection (OFP). One does not obtain an OFP simply because something “unpleasant” happened but because an individual has experienced violence at the hands of another person.

Referring to domestic violence as “unpleasantness” makes it seem like it isn’t a big deal and is insulting to victim/survivors of domestic violence, as well as those of us who care about them. I get that the sheriff’s reports are supposed to be somewhat lighthearted but I don’t think talking about domestic violence in such a manner is appropriate or helpful.

Commissioner withdraws from governor race

Please consider voting for Jill Engwer for the White Bear Lake Area School Board in November.

I have worked with Jill on the Birch Lake Elementary PTA for a number of years, and I know her to be a committed, tireless, community volunteer. Jill is dedicated to the education community and is a leader in identifying and solving problems. Her leadership has enabled our PTA to expand its focus beyond classroom needs and to develop strong ties to community programs that impact the everyday lives of our students. Jill has helped organize and develop important programs, such as YumPower, a weekend backpack food collaboration with the White Bear Lake Food Shelf, and a school districtwide food drive to fill those backpacks. She was also instrumental in organizing a group to establish and maintain a community garden that provides an opportunity for kids to learn and a way to provide fresh produce for families in the Birch Lake neighborhood. These are just some of the examples of the positive impact Jill has made on our schools and our students. Jill Engwer will be a positive, energetic, determined addition to White Bear Lake Area School Board. Please remember to vote for Jill on Nov. 7.

Kroshus found a phone number connected to over 15 commercial sex advertisements in the Twin Cities Shaun in June. In addition, Kroshus found Michael more phone numbers connected to the Maubach sex trafficking of the same female in three states. He found over 100 ads regarding the same woman.

Kroshus also noticed some of the photos in the commercial sex ads matched those of the woman found with Maubach the night he was arrested on burglary warrants. Maubach’s phone also contained text messages in which he said he was a

A Mahtomedi man was sentenced to 19 years in prison after pleading guilty to felony-level sex trafficking in Washington County Court Sept. 6.

An additional charge of promoting prostitution was dismissed.

Shaun Michael Maubach, 32, was arrested for sex trafficking following a sting led by Woodbury police in June, according to court documents.

Maubach had been arrested about a week earlier on burglary warrants and was found with methamphetamine and a 26-year-old woman.

When he was arrested, Maubach stated he had photos of the location of $10,000 worth of methamphetamine and marijuana. A detective with the Washington County Drug Task Force exam-

“pimp” and “running 6 girls,” according to court documents.

Meanwhile, Maubach had posted bond and been released from jail.

After he was released, Kroshus saw a commercial sex ad on Backpage.com that appeared to be the same woman and law enforcement conducted a sting June 28. Maubach was arrested after he returned to the area where he left her to meet with the undercover officers.

Maubach was convicted of felony-level human trafficking in 2009 and has a long criminal record including several violent crime convictions.

His home is located on Long Lake in Mahtomedi.

HURRICANE: Assistance teams worked out of medical tent in Houston FROM PAGE 1A

home. The team was one of six National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) assistance teams from across the country that treated patients in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, which hit the southeastern coast of Texas at the end of August. The assistance teams are intermittent federal employees who are on call for disasters.

“We are kind of like a surge capacity for areas that are overwhelmed,” Bouthilet said.

Bouthilet and the team of about 50 Minnesotans, and a few from the Wisconsin team, were deployed as the storm began and waited it out in Dallas.

“They won’t put us in the path of danger because if we get hit or hurt we can’t help out,” Bouthilet explained.

The team is made up of various professionals — nurses, doctors, paramedics, pharmacists, therapists, behavioral health professionals, veterinarians and security, communications and logistics professionals.

“The whole concept is a field hospital,” Bouthilet said.

Another White Bear Lake resident on board was Dan Motley, a 911 dispatcher who works at Allina Health, which sends its ambulances in response to 911 calls received by the county dispatch center. On the DMAT team, Motley is a communications specialist who assists by setting up radio systems, satellite phones and an electronic medical record system.

The team was sent to Houston the day after the worst flooding began to occur and set up a medical tent in the George R. Brown Convention Center — turned shelter.

“Getting there was a challenge,” Motley remembered. It took the team 11 to 12 hours to get to Houston instead of the usual 3 to 4 hours due to flooded roads, Motley remembered. The team arrived in the dark and slept in conference rooms at the convention center — a step up from the tents where the team often sleeps during other natural disasters.

All the equipment for the field hospital is sent in by the federal government, Motley said.

Other DMAT teams were also placed at the shelter, bringing the medical team member numbers up to 100. At its peak, the shelter held 10,000 to 12,000 people. Bouthilet said that is about half the population of White Bear Lake all in one building. White Bear Lake Fire Department paramedics see one to two life-threatening emergencies a day and the situation was no different in the shelter.

About once or twice a day, the team treated conditions such as heart attacks or stroke symptoms. They also treated conditions related to the natural disaster — dehydration, wounds, cuts and wet skin injuries, such as rashes. A large group of people gathered in one place also brought colds. People fleeing from their homes who had to leave their diabetes or blood pressure medication behind were also given new prescriptions by the field pharmacy.

“A lot of folks were dehydrated or without medication,” Bouthilet said. The team saw 3,300 patients in nine days.

“That is a large number when you are working out of a tent,” he noted.

Hurricane Harvey was the wettest tropical cyclone on record in the continental U.S., according to the

Weather Channel. Forty to 52 inches of rain fell in certain areas over several days. Flooding was expected to displace about 30,000 people from their homes, according to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Motley has been on the DMAT team since 2004, right before Hurricane Katrina hit. He said a former boss had told him about the federal disaster response teams but he didn’t quite know what he was getting into when he joined.

After Katrina, he knew. He was deployed to Katrina twice and has been deployed every few years since.

Bouthilet joined DMAT team in 2006 when he heard about it from a friend following Hurricane Katrina.

“That was kind of the impetus for me to join was seeing that need and wanting to be part of that,” he remembered. He has responded to Hurricane Irene in Connecticut, Superstorm Sandy in New York and a pandemic flu in the Virgin Islands. He was also sent to New York for a snowstorm but the community ended up not needing extra support.

Bouthilet said he is grateful the White Bear Lake Fire Department and city management has supported his desire to help on a national scale. Technically, employers must allow DMAT team members to respond to disasters under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, but team members choose to involve their employers in the process.

The job has added to his career experience, which he is able to bring home, Bouthilet said.

“It’s an honor to be able to go down there and help out and represent our state in the federal government,” he noted.

Bouthilet also said family support enables him and other team members to do what they do. It’s a hardship for team members to suddenly pack up and leave their spouse and children, especially if the children are small, he noted.

NDMS supports communities with medical care at the request of states. About 1,100 personnel from NDMS, U.S. Public Health Service and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services responded to the hurricane, officials reported.

NDMS has about 5,000 professionals in 70 teams across the country ready for disasters. It is a federal-

“I’ll be the old guy looking in and checking that things are going OK,” Hawkins added.

The secret to his success in running dealerships?

“We attracted good people,” Hawkins replied. “All our management people will remain. That’s good, because we have a great relationship with our customers and we wanted to make sure that didn’t change.”

That includes Thelen, who has been with Polar for 27 years.

If everything falls in place, they expect to close on the sale around Oct. 1.

Walser Auto Group, headed by Paul and Andrew Walser, has dealerships in Minnesota and Kansas. They sell at least 15 makes of vehicles, including GMC, Jeep, Acura, Honda, Toyota and Buick. About the only dealership Walser didn’t have in the metro area was Chevrolet.

The dealership will be called Walser Polar Chevrolet.

Construction of Polar’s new Mazda dealership across the highway is still going forward but on hold during the transition. The Chevrolet dealership will also get a complete makeover once the deal is final to conform with “Chevrolet’s image requirements.” They also have to talk about where to put the bear.

Sporting goods store collecting donations for Hurricane Harvey victims

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — Revolution Sporting Goods plans to bring a truckload of sports equipment down to Texas for those affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Owners and brothers Dan and Joe Ponsolle are seeking donations of items that could be ruined by flood waters, such as baseball gloves and football helmets with padding inside. Dan said he doesn’t expect much hockey equipment would be needed in southern Texas.

New or gently used baseball and softball, football, lacrosse, soccer, track and basketball equipment is being collected at the store. Gloves, bats, balls, bases, socks, bags, cleats, helmets, pads, sticks, shin guards, spikes and accessories are needed.

Revolution Sporting Goods will give a 10 percent off coupon to everyone who donates items, Dan said.

Community members can also buy new equipment at the store at a 25 percent discount to donate.

The store is also taking monetary donations, as it can purchase new

items at bulk retail rates.

The drive will last until Sept. 24 and the truck will be driven down the end of September or beginning of October.

“We are very excited to see how successful we can make this and maybe have more than one truck going down,” Dan noted. He plans to use donated funds to rent and drive a truck to deliver the equipment himself or fi nd someone who can deliver it.

The brothers hatched the idea when they heard Joe’s daughters’ dance academy, Lake Area Dance

Center in White Bear Lake, was collecting dancewear, shoes and hair supplies for those impacted by the hurricane.

The Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation has brought together local businesses to support the effort, including IC System, Reell Manufacturing and Press Publications.

Mahtomedi grad makes waves (literally)

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR

Though summer is waning, there’s still time to get out on the lake to enjoy the sun and spray, especially if you’re a wakesurfer (with a wetsuit).

Forest Lake-based company Nauticurl has produced a new wake shaper. It can attach to any boat with an inboard motor to provide a perfect wave for wakesurfing.

“It’s the first product in a line of products we intend to introduce into the boating market,” said Andy Nintzel, Nauticurl vice president of sales and marketing, and a Mahtomedi High School grad. “Wakeboarding is the fastest growing trend in water sports … (but with) wakeboarding in general, there’s a price to pay in learning how to get good. You crash a lot, pull joints and break stuff in the process of getting to a high level. Wakesurfing is the opposite: it’s low speed, low impact, and it doesn’t matter how old (participants) are, they can get up and learn to wakesurf without any pain.”

While wakeboarding often happens at speeds between 20 and 30 mph, wakesurfing is more relaxed at around 14 mph.

The Nauticurl wake shaper has been on the market since October 2016.

“Kind of a goofy time to launch a product like that,” Nintzel said. “We didn’t expect the popularity to surge.”

Nintzel noted that the Nauticurl has become popular not only on Minnesota lakes, but all over the world. He’s had online orders from as far as Dubai, and the orders didn’t slow down during the winter thanks to surf enthusiasts in the southern hemisphere.

Nauticurl is a passion project for Nintzel and his two local partners, who wanted to remain anonymous. All of them have jobs in “the real world.”

Nintzel works in advertising for a newspaper conglomerate. He previously lived in California, where he enjoyed surfing on the big waves, before moving

back to White Bear Lake.

The wake shaper was intended to make surfing more accessible to people of all abilities and income levels, since water sports can quickly become physically challenging and expensive.

“The wakesurf market has grown to the point where boats are hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Nintzel said. “If you’re an average family, and you have an old boat, it alleviates having to see if you like something by spending $150,000 on a boat. (The high cost is) alienating a ton of people from getting into a sport.”

Instead of buying a specialized wakesurf boat, the apparatus can be attached to boats of any age and type, as long as they have an inboard motor. (Outboard motors can pose a safety risk to surfers).

Though sales have been high all over the country, and in surfing epicenters such as California and Florida, Nintzel said it was important to keep the company based locally.

“We wanted to stay Minnesota-based,” he said.

“We’re manufactured in Minnesota, the aluminum

is stamped out in St. Paul and the powder coating is done in Wyoming. We’re proudly made in the U.S.” In addition to the wake shaper, Nauticurl offers other water sports products, including wakesurf boards, boat ballasts, stand-up paddleboards and more.

Recently, the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association has initiated a ground breaking study on the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for children. In this study, parents reported three unexpected improvements with their child’s care: 1.

Improved sleeping 2.

Improved behavior and attitude 3.

Improved immune system function Chiropractic care for children offers your family a solid foundation for wellness throughout pregnancy, birth, and childhood. More and more parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children. Even so called “natural” birthing methods can stress an infant’s spine and developing nerve system. The resulting irritation to the nerve system caused by spinal and cranial misalignment can be the cause of many newborn health complaints.

Colic, breathing problems, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, allergic reactions and chronic infections can often be traced to nerve system stress.

Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns checked right away. As the infant grows, learning to hold up the head, sit, crawl and walk are all activities that affect spinal alignment and are important times to have a child checked by a Doctor of Chiropractic. If neglected, the injuries during this period of rapid growth may lead to more serious problems later in life. The expertise of Dr. Gina and Dr. Justin are in checking the child’s spine for misalignments that impair nervous system function therefore affecting overall body function. The bones of the spine, the vertebrae, house and protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord is an extension of the brain and carries information from the brain to the body parts and back to the brain again. Subluxations interfere with the nerves’ ability to transmit this vital information.

So why should you have your child’s spine checked? Children are as susceptible to spinal trauma from various events and activities. These micro traumas can cause the vertebrae of the spine to misalign, placing pressure on their spinal nerves and therefore decreasing their bodies’ ability to function normally. Although symptoms, such as pain and malfunction may not show up for years, injury to their vital nervous system can create a lifetime of effects.

Dr. Gina Nelson and Dr. Justin Nelson specialize in the treatment of adults and children of all ages. For more information or to schedule a consult, call our clinic and we would be happy to assist you. 651-407-0802.

Farewell to a hockey hero: Jeff Parker’s life ends at 53

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Jeff Parker’s brothers took the lead in eulogizing the former NHL player from White Bear Lake whose career was cut short by a devastating head injury in 1991.

Parker died, at age 53, on Monday, Sept. 11, at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. His death was attributed to infection that attacked his heart and lungs.

“We’d have a pretty good hockey team here today,” said older brother Scott Parker, delivering the eulogy, after greeting many former athletes among the mourners at his brother’s funeral Thursday at St. Andrew’s Church in Mahtomedi.

Scott relayed humorous anecdotes about Jeff’s playful nature and his love for hockey, fishing, practical jokes and driving boats as fast as they could go.

“If you’re ever out on the St. Croix River, and you feel something go past you like it’s shot out of a cannon,” Scott said, “that will be Jeff, with his blond hair flying in the wind, and that big grin on his face.”

Younger brother John Parker’s tributes were read by officiating pastor Kyle Jackson. They included, “He was my idol, my hero, my friend, and all I wanted to be was just like him,” and that Jeff “taught me how to shoot a puck, throw a ball, back up a boat trailer” and other experiences the brothers cherished.

Suffering from pulmonary hypertension, Jeff Parker had spent a week in the hospital, was given antibiotics, went home, and returned to the hospital when the antibiotics weren’t helping, said Scott, adding that a broken catheter was another factor.

Survivors are Scott, John, both living in Wisconsin, and their families; parents Charlie Parker and Linda Wenzel; his companion of 10 years, Melina Miller; and two children, Jedrich Balko (22) and Josephine Lola Parker (4).

Jeff’s nephew, Charlie, will be a freshman on the Augsburg team this year, wearing No. 29, his uncle’s NHL number. His nieces, Maddy and Claire Parker, sang at the funeral.

Parker was a rugged, 6-foot-3 right winger when he helped White Bear Mariner reach the state championship game in 1982 (they lost to Edina) and four years later helped Michigan State capture the NCAA championship.

The Parker brothers have a unique place in hockey history as each earned a collegiate national championship with three different teams. Scott’s came with Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 1984 and John won one with Wisconsin in 1990.

The many photos of Jeff at the funeral included two with the trio of brothers, fists together, proudly displaying those championship rings.

Parker had been working as a bartender at Lonetti’s Bar, a small neighborhood pub on Rice Street in St. Paul, in recent years. The bar’s sign Tuesday read: “We Love You Jeff Parker RIP.” After his NHL career — parts of four seasons at Buffalo, and one at Hartford — ended with the second of two concussions in 15 days, Parker reported suffering from constant ringing in the ears, headaches from bright lights, and decreased hearing and sense of taste.

He was among a group of NHL players suing the league for health insurance (White Bear Press, May 5).

“Jeff donated his brain to the study of CTE,” said Scott Parker, interviewed by the Press last week, referring to

Jeff Parker

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, the degenerating brain disease found in people who’ve suffered repeated blows to the head, most famously among many pro football and a smaller number of hockey players, examined after their deaths.

“It’s been pretty hard for John and me, the last 25 years, watching our brother struggle,” said Scott, a high school teacher and hockey coach in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

“Whether you play one game or a thousand, all it takes is one hit to change a person forever. There’s no doubt a healthy Jeff would have played 10 years in the NHL. He understood the game so well and belonged there.”

The fateful blow came in a game with the Hartford Whalers in 1991 against Washington when his head struck the stanchion holding the glass to the boards after he was checked by a 230-pound defenseman. He recalled later that his “head went oblong,” and

when he woke up, he thought he still played for the Sabres. Scott said he witnessed the event watching in a bar via a satellite hookup and “got sick to my stomach.”

Melina Miller told TSN Hockey in an article on his death: “Jeff just had a way with him. People liked him. But dealing with the anger issues in the final years with him was so hard.”

“We all kept our love for the game,” Scott Parker said, “and I’ve coached hockey for 30 years now, but I also tell the parents of my players to be careful what they wish for.”

Offseason training pays big dividends next year As the golf season comes to a close, I’m sure most of you will give your clubs and shoes a good cleaning and off to storage they go, with golf going on the back burner until spring. If I told you that you could improve your game substantially by committing a couple of hours a week to a golf specific Tee Time fitness program during the offseason, would you do it?

Betsy A survey conducted by Golf Datatech, a market research comLarey pany, found that 82 percent of total respondents (men and women) said they are interested in a physical fitness/golf training program. As one might expect, the lower the handicap the more likely they are to be interested in this type of training. Forty-five percent of the 10 and under handicaps are very interested compared to 25 percent of those with a handicap over 15.

What this study says to me is better players understand their level of fitness has a direct impact on their golf game. When I work with new clients, I can usually spot most of their swing faults on the fi rst lesson. However, it’s not always clear as to the reason behind the issue. It could be the swing, but it also could be physical limitations that prevent the person from making the swing.

On many occasions, lack of flexibility is the main culprit. But oftentimes, I see balance issues arise as well. So the choice becomes, do you change the golf swing to fit the body or change the body to fit a different swing?

I have found over the years that women tend to have different physical limitation issues than men. With women, the problem is generally related to lack of strength and men is lack of flexibility. Both sexes after age 40 also tend to have balance issues as well.

When you’re talking about golf specific fitness, it all starts with mobility. Mobility is the combination of normal joint range of motion and proper muscular flexibility. Good mobility allows your

body to move in different directions while maintaining stability. Stability is created by combining balance, strength and muscular endurance.

A good golf swing starts with good stability.

Stability comes from having strong “core” muscles (gluts and abdominals). Strong core muscles allow you to swing the golf club while staying in the correct posture. Good flexibility allows you to complete a full turn on the backswing and the forward swing. Good balance allows you to transfer the weight on your backswing, then through on your forward swing to fi nish perfectly balanced on your feet.

If you have deficiencies in any of these areas, I guarantee that you will make compensations in your golf swing to offset that limitation. If your core muscles are weak, you will not be able to stay in the correct posture throughout the swing.

If you have limited flexibility you will not be able to have a full shoulder turn. If you have problems with balance, you will have a difficult time transferring your weight to your backswing and then through on your forward swing.

If you’ve been struggling with your swing and suspect that physical limitations could be the issue, maybe this year is the perfect time to commit to a golf specific fitness program. Before you embark on starting a workout program, you really should get a professional diagnosis of what your physical issues are. Many fitness clubs

have certified personal trainers who can design a workout for you.

However I strongly suggest you start with a qualified physical therapist that can correctly identify what your muscle and joint imbalances are. I have gone to Kinetic Physical Therapy Institute for several different issues and they’ve been great. They specialize in postural restoration. Check out their website at www.kineticinstiture.com.

I’ll be writing occasionally over the winter about all things golf. If you have something you’d like me to address, please send an email and let me know what you’re curious about.

MAHTOMEDI SPORTS CAPSULES Mahtomedi swimmers 4th at Bears invitational The Mahtomedi swimmers placed fourth among 10 teams in the White Bear Lake Invitational on Sept. 9, won by Stillwater. The Zephyrs’ best event was the 50 freestyle where Maggie Liska placed second and Becca Kurkowski fourth. Those two also placed fourth and seventh in the 100 freestyle. Clare Frisch was sixth in the 500. The Zephyrs scored steadily in relays, placing fifth in the medley and 400 freestyle and sixth in the 200 freestyle.

the fourth quarter. Olson gained 56 yards in 13 totes.

Brodi Larson completed 13 of 25 passes for 179 yards.

Tim Lindquist was the prime target, snagging seven for 97 yards. Andrew Praml caught three for 33 yards and Anderson one for 19 yards.

Eric Cole opened the scoring with a 40-yard run for Hill-Murray (1-2).

Mahtomedi will host St. Thomas Academy (2-1) on Friday.

North hands Mahtomedi first soccer loss Zephyr gridders (3-0) tumble Hill-Murray 27-6 with late burst Stymied for three quarters, the Mahtomedi Zephyrs busted into the end zone three times in the final quarter Friday evening to remain unbeaten.

The late burst enabled the unbeaten Zephyrs to pull away from Hill-Murray 27-6. They rushed for 220 yards and passed for 179 but led by only 7-6 at the third stop.

Brandon Anderson posted a 10-yard touchdown in the second quarter and closed the scoring with a 34-yard scamper, totaling 85 yards in 14 carries. Adam Olson had a four-yard TD and Eric Bjork a three-yard TD in

Mahtomedi boys soccer was knocked from the unbeaten ranks with a 2-1 loss to North St. Paul on Thursday.

“We made a couple mistakes in the first half and North capitalized on them,” coach Dominic Isaac said.

“They are coached very well, and sat back a few extra defenders, and we could only get one goal back. It was frustrating for our guys as we put ourselves in a hole and North was strong enough not to let us get out of it.”

Helio DeLa Torre got the goal against North, assisted

by Beck Morse.

That was a key conference duel as North (4-2-1 overall) is 3-0 in the Metro East and dropped the Zephyrs to 1-1.

Mahtomedi (6-1) bounced back with a 6-0 conquest of Mounds Park Academy on Saturday, their fifth shutout of the season. Kory Pilarsky punched in two goals, and one each were scored by Adam Gralinski, Sam Lapadat, DeLa Torre and Ryan Murphy, who also made two assists.

Zephyr netters 9-0, ranked No. 1 Grace Rierman has a 9-2 record at No. 1 singles for Mahtomedi’s defending state champion tennis team, which has won its first nine dual meets, including 4-3 wins over No. 3 ranked Hopkins and No. 8 Duluth East.

Mahtomedi is ranked No. 2 behind Edina, whose string of 19 straight state titles they stopped last season. A scheduled match with Edina on Saturday was rained out. The Zephyrs have been missing senior Olivia Paradise, their No. 1 player since seventh grade, with an elbow injury, but she is expected to return to action this week.

WHITE BEAR SPORTS CAPSULES Bear kickers, previously unbeaten, have 0-2-1 week White Bear Lake boys soccer had a tough week, falling from the unbeaten ranks with two losses and a tie. The Bears (4-2-3) lost to Roseville Area 4-1, settled for a 2-2 tie with Forest Lake (2-52) by giving up a penalty kick with :07 left in regulation and hitting the post three times in overtime, and lost to Duluth East 2-0. Loren Altman had all three goals for the week.

Bears sputter in 31-15 loss to East Ridge Unable to put a lid on East Ridge passer Riley Tuckner, and stymied on offense, White Bear Lake fell to the Raptors 31-15 on Friday evening at home.

“Extremely disappointed in the game,”

assessed coach Ryan Bartlett. “We competed and played well the last two weeks.

This week we were sleep walking. East Ridge came ready to play and we didn’t respond the whole night.

“We felt like the last two weeks we were a play or two from being 2-0, so we didn’t see this coming.”

The Bears were within 14-7 when Alec Akins broke away for a 33-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but were down 31-7 before scoring again in the fourth quarter. That touchdown came on Cooper Anderson’s pass to Anthony Lucio covering 39 yards, followed by a pass to Blake Charles for a two-point conversion.

The Bears were held to 90 yards passing (with two interceptions) and 75

rushing, the first time they’ve been shut down this season, after notching three touchdowns each in two close losses. Anderson completed five of nine for 67 yards in relief of Dan Lyons, who was 8-for-22 for 23 yards.

The Bears fell to 0-3 and will host another 0-3 team, Stillwater, on Friday.

Bear boys CC’s 2nd unit fares well at Apple Jack meet White Bear Lake held out its top seven runners and still placed eighth among 17 teams at the Apple Jack Invitational in Lakeville on Saturday. Minnetonka won, and had the individual leader in Adam Wilkinson.

Max Nelson led the Bears, placing 15th in 16:59. Scott Shield finished 36th, Wyatt Taylor 38th, Sam Racine 39th and Sam Verkerke 56th.

“The coaches this week gave a challenge to their team,” said coach Dan Kovacich. “Lets see what our other runners can do when put in a more competitive situation. We decided to rest our varsity … We ended up running our 8-14 runners in the varsity meet and they rose to the challenge.”

The Bears are ranked No. 8 in Class 2A, mostly because of their depth.

500 and Sydney MacDonald in backstroke.

In the White Bear Lake Invitational on Sept. 9, the Bears placed fifth among 10 teams, with Stillwater winning. Grace Johnson took the 50 freestyle in 25.64.

Placing second were Weier (500 free) and Hughes (butterfly). The medley team of Hughes, Weier, Letourneau and Johnson placed third.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2017

Mahtomedi language arts teacher writes for students MAHTOMEDI — Kathy Mackin, a language arts teacher at Mahtomedi Middle School, is the 2017-2018 Mahtomedi Teacher of the Year.

“Teaching is a rewarding, important profession, but it is also physically, intellectually and emotionally challenging,” Mackin said. “All teachers work very hard and deserve recognition. The timing of this award was especially meaningful to me following a challenging year of teaching as I transitioned back into the classroom after three years of peer coaching.”

Mackin said her teaching style has changed over the years.

“It has evolved from primarily delivering information to students, to encouraging students to do the real work of questioning, discussing and collaborating with one another,” she said.

She shares her own writing to encourage students to take risks with their writing. She also gives students opportunities to choose what they are interested in writing about and reading.

She aims to learn about students’ lives through meeting with students one on one.

Over her career, she has seen the students in the district become more diverse.

“We have students of many ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds, and we must be willing to see this and address the needs of all,” she noted. “I have Mackin learned that ‘colorblindness’ is not okay. It invalidates people’s identities and their experiences. Teachers today need to be honest and talk about racial issues happening in our schools and in kids’ lives outside of school.”

Mackin has had the opportunity to travel in

recent years because her children have lived in other countries at various points. She has hiked through rural parts of the Dominican Republic delivering free health clinic flyers, assisted young women in making bread at a shelter in Bolivia, hiked through the Atacama Desert in Chile and, most recently, attended her daughter’s wedding in El Salvador.

Mackin said she is honored to be this year’s teacher of the year.

“It is very touching to know that my colleagues ‘in the trenches’ took the time to nominate me based on what they see me doing day to day and that a committee of teachers then read through my written responses to their questions regarding my experiences in education and selected me as this year’s teacher of the year,” she said.

From district press release

White Bear Schools enrollment jumps from last school year

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — “Good news: More and more kids coming in,” said White Bear Lake Area School Board Chair Janet Newberg after a board meeting presentation about the district’s large enrollment jump Sept. 11.

The first week of school, the district’s total enrollment had increased from about 8,300 in 2016 to 8,600 in 2017, or by about 4 percent, said Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations Tim Wald.

Significant increases were seen in second through fifth grades, especially at the district’s southern elementary schools.

From the first week of school last year to the first week this year, Lakeaires saw a total increase of 13 percent, Lincoln 6 percent and Willow Lane 6 percent. Oneka Elementary in Hugo also saw a 7 percent increase.

A school board member asked Wald why he thought Lakeaires enrollment increased so significantly. Wald said that although he couldn’t be sure, “the houses on the south side continue to turn over.”

Matoska Elementary, an open enrollment school in the district, is full as well, and that keeps students at their assigned neighborhood school.

“We are seeing a significant rise in enrollment. With the housing starts that are occurring at the north end of our district, we don’t think this is going to change significantly. We think we are going to continue to see enrollment increase. And we are feeling the crunch in our schools too,” Wald said.

Empty classrooms that used to be used as multipurpose rooms have become regular classrooms, he added.

The district will measure its enrollment again Oct. 1 and have an even better idea how it compares to Oct. 1 data from previous years. Based on Oct. 1 data, enrollment began to increase in 2013 by 0.5 percent and increased by 1.5 percent in 2016.

If this year’s opening week 4 percent increase is maintained through Oct. 1, the jump could remain historical. Last school year, about 40 students left the district between the first week of school and Oct. 1. After the meeting, Wald explained that the district often sees a decrease in numbers at the high school from the beginning of school to Oct. 1, due to students not notifying the district of their change of plans. The expected change should not have a significant impact on the percent by which the enrollment numbers have jumped, he added.

The district’s early childhood education program has also seen increases this year.

The White Bear Lake Area Preschool jumped from 286 in 2016 to 311 in 2017.

The Early Childhood Special Education program for birth to 2 jumped from 92 to 106 and for 3 to 5 jumped from 161 to 181.

The Early Childhood Family Education Program saw slightly lower numbers this year.

“We are following the same trend where we are seeing growth in all of our programming as well,” said Community Services Director Tim Maurer. “We will allow as many kids in as we can fit.” A few spaces remain, he noted.

The increased enrollment plays into three operational areas the district was already planning to focus on this school year.

Those are the upcoming levy renewal vote, strategic planning and long-term facilities planning, Wald said.

“The current operating levy passed in 2011 is sunsetting after six years, so it is time to ask voters to renew that levy,” Wald said. The levy makes up 15 percent of the district’s budget.

The district also begins a strategic planning process this week, Wald said. Thirty community members and district employees will meet for three days to identify the priorities and objectives the district should take for the next several years.

When that process is completed, a longterm facilities planning process will also begin, which relates directly to increasing enrollment.

“Planning for that continued enrollment increase is going to be critical to our future,” Wald said.

The district also has several specific priorities in three educational areas this school year, which are continuations and expansions of programs already in place.

Those include instructional practices, college and career opportunities and equity, said Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning Sara Paul.

The district plans to incorporate more staff time for collaboration this year, Paul said, and will continue its instructional coach program begun last year.

The district also plans to make sure the college and career opportunities it offers are “truly being accessed by students,”

YOU SHOULD KNOW: C it meetings ti b t th Community about the llevy are scheduled for 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at the District Center, 7 p.m. Oct. 4 at Vadnais Heights Elementary and 7 p.m. Oct. 5 at Hugo City Hall.

she said. “We are a district that is known for an expansive number of college course offerings.”

Expansion of AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) schoolwide is also planned to develop college readiness skills.

In other action, the School Board: • Inducted 2017-2018 school year student representatives to the School Board.

Senior Ashley Rensted is the representative and Junior Makena Pratt is the alternate.

• Approved refinancing of bonds. The board authorized the approval of the sale of about $12 million in general obligation alternative facilities refunding bonds that were issued in 2008. The refinancing is expected to save the district $350,000.

• Approved its partnership with White Bear Center for the Arts for the 2017-2018 school year. At a cost of $400 per day not to exceed $85,000 annually, students in grades K-5 will experience a total of six art lessons from White Bear Center for the Arts artists. These include three watercolor lessons, two drawing lessons, and a fabric-based art lesson.

• Scheduled a special meeting at 5:15 p.m.

Sept. 25 to certify the 2017 proposed property tax levy, payable in 2018.

Reunion announcement prompts trip down memory lane Attention Beach School alumni: A second annual reunion has been planned for 5-10 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 28 at the White Bear Lake VFW. Retired White Bear Lake teacher Donna Peterson is organizing the reunion. She attended the school, which consisted of students from the White Bear Beach and Bald Eagle areas.

“It was located on Buffalo Street and it was very unique,” Peterson said. “The school had only four classrooms, no gymnasium and no library. The custodian and one of two cooks lived in a house next to the small playground. The school was very small but everyone who attended loved it.

We have a lot of memories of a time that was simple, yet incredibly fun.”

In sharing her memories of attending the elementary school, Peterson mentioned some that fellow alumni may remember: • The “Recess Buzz Code.” Since there were only four classrooms, with one for each grade, first through fourth, first-graders knew that one buzz meant their recess was over, second-graders knew that two buzzes meant that their recess was over ... and so on. Kindergarteners went to Webster Elementary since there was no room at Beach.

• Pom Pom Pullaway. “Although I’m sure other elementa-

ry school kids played this game, it seemed extra special with such a small school,” Peterson said.

• The Annual Chili Skate. It was held in the small school cafeteria that doubled as a “gym” in the winter months.

“Kids skated in the rink, then came in for chili brought by parents.”

• Fire Drill fun. “We got to go down the fire escape located in the second-grade classroom in the old part of the building. The old part had just the first- and second-grade classrooms, the office, boys/girls bathrooms and the small cafeteria. Third- and fourth-grade classrooms were on the other side of the basement cafeteria and appeared to have been built later.”

• Stellar staff who stood the test of time. Certain individuals seemed to be there forever. Mr. and Mrs. Bright were the custodian and cook, and lived next to the playground.

Mrs. Dunn was a long-standing first-grade teacher.

• Other activities unique to Beach School included looking for lost baseballs in the weeds behind the extremely small baseball field; taking the bus to Webster, Lincoln, or Bellaire School to get library books; and being a patrol in fourth grade.

Just about all the fourth-graders at Beach School served as patrols, due to the small size of the class.

Friends, relatives rally to help young family

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Saturday, Sept. 9 was a heartbreaking day for the McGuire family.

Gabe McGuire (formerly Nelson), a new father and all-around good guy, was cutting down a tree on his Gem Lake property when a sawed limb swung the wrong way and hit him. McGuire fell on his back, suffering a severe spinal cord injury.

According to friend Allie Schoen, surgeons had to remove his fractured C5 vertebrae. At this time, he can’t move his fi ngers and has no feeling from the waist down. He also broke his scapula, she said.

In intensive care at Regions Hospital, McGuire has been intubated due to pneumonia and requires a feeding tube. He has months of rehab ahead of him.

Shoen said his friends are still in shock.

“Why do bad things happen to good people?” she asked. “This is a man who did and does put everyone else fi rst and will do anything for anyone, especially his friends. Something this tragic couldn’t happen to a nicer, kinder man.”

McGuire and his wife Taylor welcomed a new baby girl just last March. Her name is Remi Jo and she’s the apple of her daddy’s eye. The couple married in 2016, months after Gabe pulled a proposal prank on Taylor that appeared in the Sept. 30, 2015 White Bear Press.

With assistance from a White Bear Lake police officer, Gabe proposed to Taylor in memorable fashion.

Taylor LeVasseur (her maiden name) was getting ready for what she thought was an anniversary dinner with McGuire. Then she got a phone call with a distressing request. Gabe had been arrested and needed her to bail him out. She quickly threw on a sweatshirt and leggings and drove to the police station. Officer Nathan Hook brought McGuire into the lobby in handcuffs. After removing them, the officer told McGuire to do one last thing before he could be released.

“Get down on one knee,” Hook ordered. A stunned LeVasseur then realized McGuire had been hiding a ring in his handcuffed hands and was proposing.

She said “yes.”

Later, she learned Schoen and Jesse Dean had helped her fiance plot the engagement prank.

McGuire was a roommate of Dean, who lived next door to Schoen growing up. She has known McGuire for years.

Barring a miracle, Schoen isn’t sure if her good friend will walk again. She is already rallying support to build ramps at the McGuires’ home if the prognosis is bad.

Gabe’s mother, Claudia McGuire, a Florida resident, happened to be visiting because of the hurricane and has now decided to stay and help with

the baby. The couple actually bought her house on Goose Lake Road. Taylor’s mother, Rita Hieb, is also gladly doing babysitting duty. Friends are handling the yard work.

“We’re waiting to see what Gabe needs,” said Schoen, who grew up in White Bear Lake and works part time at Beartown. “Right now, it’s two steps forward and one step back, but Gabe is a fighter.”

Taylor too, is one tough cookie, she added.

“They’re such good people. Family and friends are surrounding them. We’re requesting prayers, good wishes and good vibes. We need a miracle.”

80 years of dancing history looks to be coming to a close IF YOU GO:

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

It seems appropriate that the longest-running band to play the Withrow Ballroom is likely the last.

The frontman for Rockin' Hollywoods, Steve Ghizoni, said he was told by the Withrow manager that their Oct. 28 gig is the ballroom's last event.

The group has performed at the 80-year-old dance hall since 1973.

“It's the end of an era,” noted Ghizoni, who wouldn't be surprised if the building is razed and the property developed. “That would be a huge disappointment,” he added.

Rumors that the venue is closing could not be confi rmed by press time. Attempts to reach owner Paul Bergmann were unsuccessful.

A Stillwater nursery owner, Bergmann rescued the historic ballroom in November 2009 when it was in foreclosure. He booked the Rockin' Hollywoods to celebrate. The Keystone Avenue venue has been open ever since for weddings, anniversa-

The Rockin’ Hollywoods last dance party at Withrow Ballroom is 8 p.m. to midnight Oct. 28. Tickets are $15 at the door.

ries and entertainment.

Built in 1928 by Ben and Anna Zahler, Withrow is considered the oldest ballroom in Minnesota.

Three generations of Zahlers owned the property from 1928 to 1983 when

it was sold to Marvin Babcock, who gave the building its 'Kentucky horse farm' look. Scott and Kimberly Aamodt owned it before Bergmann, closing it Oct. 31, 2008, after seven years.

Ghizoni said the Rockin' Hollywoods have played at Withrow about 400 times in the last 45 years. Its heydays were in the '80s and '90s, he admitted, but they still draw large crowds at the annual Halloween and Thanksgiving concerts.

Thanksgiving was always a huge dance, the best one, he recalled.

“Withrow was our mainstay,” said the band leader. “If there was a house band at Withrow, it was us. We've played for seven different owners and we're the only band with long-lasting success there.”

Ghizoni didn't know if the hall has been sold or what its future holds.

He was told by the manager that all weddings were also canceled for 2018. “Maybe there will be new owners,” he noted. “No one seems to know and the owner hasn't been forthcoming.”

Proposed levy: Township taxes going up

BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Whenever talking about city budgets, the number one question is: What will happen to taxes?

For White Bear Township, it’s looking like taxes will be going up.

The White Bear Town Board voted to approve a preliminary tax levy of just more than $3.5 million during a board meeting on Sept. 6.

However, this shouldn’t come as a surprise to town residents. During the annual meeting in March, residents approved a levy for $10,000 more.

WHITE BEAR CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council took the following action at its Sept. 12 meeting: • Heard a proclamation by Mayor Jo Emerson for Contitution Week Sept. 17-23. The 230th anniversary of the drafting of the U.S. Constitution by the Constitutional Convention was Sept. 17.

• Met in closed session regarding the lake level lawsuit with attorney Monte Mills of Greene Espel, the firm representing the city.

The Council discussed the ruling and its implications, said City Manager Ellen Richter, but no action was taken. “After the DNR has decided its course of action, the city will give further consideration to its options,” Richter noted. “Council action, if any, would then be taken during an open meeting.”

• Approved a request by Polar Mazda for a conditional use permit amendment to remove the existing sales buildng and a one sign variance to allow a second sign for the property at 4095 Hwy. 61.

• Authorized a massage therapist license for Li Jing Pelton to work at Yili Massage, 4711 Clark Ave. • OK’d a privacy fence for 1531 N. Birch Lake Blvd. Property owner John Reinhart requested two variances to allow a 155 foot long, 6 foot high wood privacy fence along a property line abutting a public right of way.

Debra Neutkens

The tax rate will be higher in 2018 than in 2017 due to the levy but lower than in 2014 and 2013, according to a city memo concerning the levy.

A fi nal levy amount will be approved by residents during a meeting on Dec. 12 at Heritage Hall.

In other action at the Sept. 6 meeting, the board: • Approved a conditional use permit for Southwind Holdings to eliminate the car wash at the Bald Eagle Quick Stop gas station and move a liquor store to the car wash building, provided that the owner provide enough parking spaces, including three handicapped parking spaces.

• Scheduled an abatement appeal hearing for Sept. 11 regarding a tree removal on a residential property. If the tree were removed before the date, the hearing would be canceled.

• Approved an agreement between Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. and the town for the consultant to provide water resources, traffic engineering services and development reviews.

Payment would be charged on an hourly basis, at a charge of $55 to $240 depending on service.

• Held a closed meeting for more than 40 minutes to discuss the lake level lawsuit decision.

New Strive scholarship announced The new Woodbury & Gunderson Family Rotary Strive Scholarship was announced at the Sept. 13 White Bear Lake Rotary Club. Heidi Gunderson, owner and president of Woody’s Rebar Company in Vadnais Heights and a city councilwoman, donated $25,000 to match $25,000 from the Rotary Strive Committee.

The $50,000 will be invested with the Century College Foundation to provide a scholarship for a White Bear Lake High School student.

The Strive Scholarship is awarded each year to a participating senior student who has the greatest increase in his or her GPA over the year. The program was created by Don Mooney in 1989 and has grown from its original $5,000 to $300,000 today.

Gunderson has a close connection. She was one of the first Strive Scholarship recipients in 1991. Her company supplied the steel rebar for U.S. Bank Stadium, home of the Vikings.

Taking it from his own life's book, Mooney said he started the scholarship program to encourage students entering their senior year to do bet-

ter and those who do, have a reward at the end. It has been accumulating money through Rotary ever since through matching contributions like Gunderson's as well as the proceeds from Strive's three yearly races, Kowalski's 10-miler and 5K

in November, Wells Fargo Spirit of White Bear Lake in spring and Taco John's Run Baby Run 5K and 10K in August.

“It's a wonderful thing,” Mooney said.

Historic house tour Sunday The White Bear Area Historic House Tour, a fundraiser for the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, is Sunday, Sept. 24 from noon to 6 p.m. Ten homes are featured on the annual tour, including the Dellwood mansion once owned by the daughter of James J. and Mary T. Hill.

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 on the day of the tour and available at the White Bear Lake Armory, 2228 Fourth St. 10 a.m. To 1 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday; online at www. whitebearhistory.org; or by phone 651-407-5327. The tour is presented by the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society along with signature sponsor Grandma's Bakery and supporting sponsors, Press Publications and NewStudio Architecture.

Homes on the tour include the following:

1. 100 Highway 96 East Dellwood Built in 1917-23 Open only 1-4 p.m. during the tour The main house on this property was designed by American architect David Adler for Dr. Egil and Rachel Boeckmann in 1916. Rachel Boeckmann was the daughter of James J. and Mary T. Hill. Their daughter Gertrude Boeckmann Ffolliott and her husband Peter Ffolliott along with their five children made this their home. The original construction of the house on the northern shore of Echo Lake took a period of several years. In recent years, the property has changed hands and a full renovation was undertaken that took nearly as long as the original construction. You won't want to miss this rare opportunity to see this beautiful home.

2. 4571 Lake Ave. White Bear Lake Built in 1904 This summer cottage near the lake was built toward the end

of the White Bear's resort boom when the Village of White Bear was transitioning into a yearround community. For nearly three decades this was the home of long-time White Bear librarian Ada Palmer and her sister Leona. The front portion of the house remains as the original cottage with an addition at the back to better suit a modern family.

ed that has lasted more than 125 years where it has served its residents and connected them to their government, allowed them to conduct business and linked them to their past. Evidence has been uncovered to connect Cass Gilbert to the project. In 2015 the structure was moved to Polar Lakes Park where it has been undergoing extensive study and work to better tell its story and that of the community.

3. 5505 Portland Ave. White Bear Township Built in 1915

6. 4942 Johnson Ave. White Bear Lake Built in 1927

This altered farmhouse has an eclectic style as a result of the additions and renovations through the years. The original plat of 80 acres was registered as Rice's Addition to White Bear in January of 1887 by William G. Gaston and included the North ½ of the NE ¼ of Section 12 of historic White Bear Township.

The addition on the north end adds a rustic, almost western, feel to the living space and a comfortable kitchen.

In 1891 this property was part of a large area of land sold to the White Bear Land Company for $3,000. Even though it is only a block off the lake property this far north of downtown not directly on the lakeshore was slow to develop. Owners have enclosed porches and remodeled the kitchen over the years. The current owner has restored the wood floors and trim throughout the house and added the Caribbean inspired porch to the front.

4. 2181 Cedar Ave. White Bear Lake Built in 1959

7. 426 Park Ave. Mahtomedi Built ca. 1912-14

The home at 2181 Cedar was constructed by the Kenneth Bacchus Construction Company during White Bear's biggest building boom. The original owners made the decision to remain in their split level home for as long as possible. Among the recent renovations to make aging in place easier is a completely remodeled kitchen and first floor layout.

This converted summer cottage sits high atop a crest overlooking the wonderfully landscaped lot. The height provides the opportunity for large picture windows throughout and fantastic views while maintaining a sense of seclusion and privacy.

The house has undergone extensive remodeling with recent updates by the current owners using creative techniques such as angled countertops in the kitchen to draw the dining area closer.

5. White Bear Town Hall 1279 Hammond Road White Bear Township Built in 1885, Moved in 1910, 1951 & 2015 The residents of White Bear Township approved the building of a Town Hall at their Annual Meeting in 1885. By the end of that year, a structure was erect-

8. 1979 Fourth St. White Bear Lake Built in 1912 This home is built on a portion of the 80 acres once owned by Thomas B. Campbell. Adlore and Ellen Vadnais acquired the

lot in 1912 and moved in with his young family which would rapidly grow. This house is a wonderful example of a yearround home in White Bear unlike many summer cottages that were later converted.

9. Honey Bee Hill House 720 Birchwood Ave. Birchwood Built in 1967 This home is known as the Honey Bee Hill House in reference to the beekeeping that happens in the neighborhood. With its paneled walls and built ins, screened porch, brickwork and expansive hearths the home has a comfortable, rustic feel that is a cross between a midwestern farmhouse and a northwoods

cabin. The Honey Bee Hill House continues Birchwood's tradition as an Airbnb property, a modern person to person online outlet for unique accommodations.

10. Fillebrown House 4735 Lake Ave. White Bear Lake Built in 1879 The Fillebrown House charmingly illustrates those golden years. Built in the rustic style then popular in Eastern resorts like Martha’s Vineyard, the cottage is a rare example of American Picturesque Architecture in the Midwest. Charles and Emily Noyes built the structure as a lakeside cottage in 1879.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Businesswoman launches active office concept Anne Hendrickson describes her new all-in-one shared workspace concept as “better than a coffee shop.”

The Mahtomedi resident has created an active office, open to the public, as an alternative to the traditional sedentary approach. She's calling her new business space “Work it.”

It's one of the world’s first movement-focused shared workspaces, Hendrickson said. Located just blocks from the Green Line in St. Paul, Work it is a multipurpose, dog-friendly, shared office space owned independently

by Hendrickson, the previous owner of Downtown Dogs.

“The two-floor, wheelchair-accessible facility is unlike any other co-working space,” she said. “While working at a computer, clients are able to walk, bike, sit, stand, or wobble using unique equipment from Lifespan Fitness and iSpace Environments. This offers users the ability to integrate movement and fitness into otherwise sedentary careers. And, they say, (it) boosts creativity and cognitive function.”

Other amenities include fitness equipment, showers, high-speed internet, a full kitchen, active and traditional conference rooms, public notaries, mail slots and a privacy/lactation room all under one roof. The space is geared to independent consultants, small firms, remote and itinerant workers. It also serves as an off-site meeting destination for medium and large companies.

Work it is located at 635 Fairview Ave. N. in St. Paul.

For a virtual tour, hours and more info, see http://co-workit.com/.

Team Boo marketing new development Mahtomedi husband and wife Realtors Jim and Tracy Boo are executive sales directors for the recently opened Royal Golf Club in Lake Elmo. Formerly the Tartan Park Golf Club, 3M sold the property to a national sporting group last year, which renamed the public course and is adding a residential community. The Boos, of High Pointe Realty, will market property for the 477acre golf club. The phased development will consist of 292 upscale custom homes and detached villas ranging in price from $450,000 to $1.2 million with views of both golf and natural open spaces. The 18-hole course was redesigned and renamed “The King and The Queen” in honor of golf legend Arnold Palmer, who designed the back nine holes, and Annika Sorenstam, who designed the front nine. The course will open in 2018. For more information, see royalclubmn.com.

Manufacturing Day event Wilson Tool is hosting an event for National Manufacturing Day at its White Bear Lake headquarters 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 6. The goal of this event, staffed by Wilson employees, is to educate the community and students on the realities of modern manufacturing. The event is open to the public. To register, see wilsontool.com.

Grand opening planned for restaurant The new Chick-fil-A Maplewood is planning to open Oct. 19. The owner is Bob Lee, who posted on social me-

dia that he, his wife Sarah and three daughters are looking forward to “creating magical moments around great food and great people.” The new restaurant is located at 3045 White Bear Ave. near Maplewood Mall. They are hiring. See http://bit.ly/CFAMaplewoodCareers.

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

SEPTEMBER 20, 2017 www.presspubs.com

Construction of Rush Line bus line could begin in six years Rush Line bus rapid transit (BRT) is one step closer to reality, following a vote by the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority to endorse the route and vehicle type Sept. 12.

The cities of Saint Paul, Maplewood, White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights, Gem Lake and White Bear Township have all passed resolutions of support for the route and vehicle type. The Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority also held a public hearing Aug. 22 where community members shared comments.

“The East Metro deserves a robust transit system,” said Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority Chairman Rafael Ortega. “The Rush Line bus rapid transit route moves us one step closer to providing residents and businesses with quality transit service that will provide access to opportunity and mobility for all.”

The estimated $420 million project will now begin

the process of environmental review, design and engineering. Construction of the line could begin as soon as 2023.

“Determining the Rush Line route and vehicle type involved significant technical analysis and public input,” said Rush Line Corridor Task Force Chairwoman and Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt. “We’ll continue actively engaging our communities to ensure this project benefits everyone along the route.”

The 14-mile bus rapid transit route would run along Robert Street, Phalen Boulevard, Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority right-of-way alongside the Bruce Vento Trail and Highway 61. Most of the route will consist of dedicated bus-only lanes.

More than 60,000 people live near the line’s station areas which are located at job and activity centers, including an emerging health corridor of 17 medical centers (Regions, St. John’s and Bethesda hospitals;

Gillette Children’s, HealthPartners, HealthEast and Allina clinics), and economic development nodes and transportation hubs (Union Depot and the Maplewood Mall Transit Center and Park & Ride).

Service between the line’s 20 stations is proposed with hybrid-electric buses running every 10 minutes during peak traffic periods and every 15 minutes from early morning until midnight every day of the week. Most of the route will run on dedicated bus-only lanes.

In Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake the bus line would enter on the Bruce Vento Regional Trail over I-694, cross over to Highway 61 on Buerkle Road and proceed to downtown White Bear Lake, where it would likely connect with a new feeder bus to Forest Lake. Stops are proposed along Highway 61 at County Road E, Cedar Avenue and Marina Triangle.

From press release

Huge college fair to take place at Forest Lake High School

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR

FOREST LAKE—Local students exploring their options for the future have lucked out—this year the colleges are coming to them as part of a big college fair Sept. 21.

Forest Lake High School College and Career Coordinator Molly Bonnet explained that usually 7-10 schools across the state are selected to host one

of these fairs each year, but it's been some time since Forest Lake was last chosen. More than 80 technical schools, two-year and four-year colleges and universities will send representatives to Forest Lake to help students figure out their futures.

The fair offers a great opportunity for students in the surrounding areas, Bonnet said. Even though a national college fair will take place at the Minneapolis Convention Center Sept. 27-28,

Forest Lake's fair is a bit closer to home, and the options won't be so overwhelming. Schools from across the midwest will be represented at the event.

“Really it's a great opportunity for students to start collecting information and be exposed to very diverse group of colleges,” Bonnet said.

Students who plan to attend must pre-register at www.gotocollegefairs. com, which makes it easier for schools and students to connect. Students will

be given a bar code that will automatically transfer their information to the institutions they are interested in, rather than having to copy down the information again and again.

“Everything is very automated, and we really encourage parents and students to be here for this great opportunity,” Bonnet said.

The fair will take place 6-8 p.m. Sept.

21 at the Forest Lake Area High School Field House.
