WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — A Minneapolis-based environmental consulting and engineering firm reports that soil vapor levels of volatile organic compounds — TCE and t-DCE — on Water Gremlin's property are well below action levels established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and state health department. Additional monitoring of the volatile compounds will continue. For now, “preliminary findings of the 2019 remedial investigation, including the recent vapor evaluation, indicate residential homes are not at risk from the on-site release beneath the Water Gremlin building,” wrote Aaron Benker, remediation manager, and Chris Bratsch, project manager for Wenck. Water Gremlin issued a statement following the Sept. 13 report indicating it initiated a series of tests as soon as t-DCE was discovered below the floor to ensure that vapors do not exist beyond its facilities. “MPCA reviewed our proposed testing plan and requested additional sampling locations that we added to our plan,” read the statement. “The testing was performed at key locations in the direction of residences closest to our building.” Test results are provided to the MPCA directly from Pace Analytical, a third-party independent laboratory.

Warner Nature Center closing, offers pristine lakes, wildlife corridors BY ANGIE HONG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

“Dear Loyal Supporters, I’m writing to inform you that the Warner Nature Center will be closing and winding down operations by the end of the year.” With those words, Alison Rempel Brown, president and CEO of the Science Museum of Minnesota, broke the news to staff and volunteers that a 52-year tradition will be coming to an end. Warner, the oldest nature center in Minnesota, has inspired thousands of children and adults to study and protect the woods and waters in our area. The property is also home to pristine lakes, wildlife corridors, and countless natural treasures. In 1957, the Amherst Wilder Foundation purchased two square miles of land in northern Washington County from the May family with an agreement that the land would never be divided or sold for development. After purchasing the land, Wilder Foundation worked with the Science Museum of Minnesota to begin creating outdoor science and nature programming. Eventually, the museum was given exclusive rights to operate 385 acres of the land as a nature center. Summer programming began in 1965 and the first school groups began visiting in 1967. In 1970, the Lee and Rose Warner Foundation purchased the land and buildings from Wilder and the location became known as the Lee and Rose Warner Nature Center. The Warner Foundation eventually merged with the Manitou Fund (established by former Vikings owner Don McNeely, a nephew of the Warners), which has continued to operate the Warner Nature Center since 2010. Today, the center has grown to encompass 1,400 acres of forest, woods and wetlands. More than 17,000 students visit Warner Nature Center for field trips and summer camps each year. They come to wander in the woods, tap maple trees

for syrup, study and band migratory birds, watch bees wiggle, snowshoe across a frozen winter landscape, and develop a love for nature. The center has more than 100 volunteers, supports research at local universities, and hosts annual events such as the St. Croix Research Rendezvous and the Fall Color Blast. Though Warner may be best known for its programming, the property itself is a treasure-trove of natural wonders. It is considered a “Site of High Biological Significance” by the Minnesota Biological Survey, and “Regional Site of Outstanding Significance” by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. During a 2007 Bioblitz, citizen scientists identified and catalogued over 1,300 species of plants, animals and fungi on site, including seven plants that had never been documented before in Washington County. Nature center staff and volunteers have also banded and collected data on 45,000 migratory birds over the past 52 years. Along with Wilder Forest and the St. Croix Watershed Research Station, Warner Nature Center is part of the St. Croix Greenway Corridor — a 2,400acre oasis for wildlife to travel between the St. Croix River and upland lakes and woods. It is home to 70 species of concern, including Blanding’s turtles, American woodcocks, rose-breasted grosbeaks, eastern fox snakes, trumpeter swans, red-shouldered hawks and bald eagles. The area is also listed as one of the highest priority locations for permanent land protection in Washington County. Hidden within the Warner and Wilder woods are three of the most pristine shallow lakes in this part of the state — Terrapin, Clear and Mays Lakes. The protected landscape also helps to ensure that a steady supply of clean, clear groundwater flows to nearby Square Lake. In addition, Warner Nature Center contains a bog that is home to carnivorous sundews and

Staff and volunteers have worked with the University of Minnesota to collect and study core samples from this bog, using carbon-14 dating and soil analysis to learn about glacial history in the area and how the bog was formed.

Tipping points

hile our editors here at Press Publications establish guidelines and prepare for the 2019 local election, political analysts, prognosticators and pundits are already looking ahead toward the 2020 election. A recent article originating on “The Hill” website titled “The 10 counties that will decide the 2020 election” includes a county right here in our coverage area. Washington County is among a group of counties described in the article as critical tipping points across the country that will determine the outcome of the 2020 election. The other counties on the list are scattered from Maine to Arizona and include Erie County, Pennsylvania, Sauk County, Wisconsin, Muskegon County, Michigan, Maricopa County, Arizona, Tarrant County, Texas, New Hanover County, North Carolina, Peach County, Georgia, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, and Lincoln Angle of County, Maine. I’m personally not comfortable View getting my information from a news feed that has been curated Paul Dols by an algorithm, so I attempt to get my news and information from a variety of sources, including “The Hill.” According to Wikipedia, “The Hill” is an American political newspaper and website published in Washington, D.C. since 1994 with a mission of “nonpartisan reporting on the inner workings of Congress and the nexus of politics and business.” At Allsides.com, a website dedicated to displaying news stories from the Left, Center and Right of the political spectrum, as a way of exposing readers to information and ideas from a variety of sources, “The Hill” was given a “Center” rating on a Media Bias Ratings list comprised of 600 news outlets. Each news outlet is given a rating along a spectrum ranging from Left, Leaning Left, Center, Leaning Right to Right. This site is a pretty good place to gauge whether or not the sources you’re accessing for news are perpetuating a “filter bubble” by just reaffirming preexisting viewpoints. Dozens of strategists, political scientists and observers were interviewed for the story, written by Reid Wilson. Each county is given a brief historical overview along with key reasons it is viewed as a strategic indicator. According to the article, Minnesota is “one of a small number of states that voted for Clinton in 2016 that presents Trump with a chance to expand his map in 2020. If he wants to win here, he must carry Washington County, along the border with Wisconsin.” The county’s historic role as the birthplace of the state of Minnesota is briefly noted, along with its current blend of “rural roots and exurban sprawl.” Another characteristic that is noted about Washington County is that it is not firmly locked into an allegiance with one political party. “Washington County voted twice for George W. Bush, then twice for Obama. Clinton carried Washington County by just 1.8 percentage points, almost exactly the margin by which she carried Minnesota as a whole.” We don’t often get a viewpoint of a county in our own backyard from a national and politically strategic perspective. I’m speculating, but I believe that the fact voters in Washington County do not consistently vote along a straight party line indicates a high level of engagement and not simply voting based on past allegiances and habits. These key counties, including Washington here in Minnesota, are described as “diverse as the American electorate” and provide a snapshot of what the country looks like at this key moment in history. I hope, at a fundamental level, that we can reaffirm that we have much more in common with our neighbors than the exploited and sometimes magnified differences that threaten to divide and pull us apart.

A fresh, exciting start for Mahtomedi Public Schools

new school year brings a fresh start for students and educators. For students, a new school year means a new grade, new teachers, and new opportunities to ﬁ nd joy, explore their passions, and be curious about learning. As educators, we too share in the new school year excitement as our schools burst with possibility, Movers & exploration, and new connections. Shakers This fresh, exciting start Barb Duffrin is particularly relevant for Mahtomedi Schools this year as we embark on our new Strategic Plan. In January, our district began a strategic planning process that brought together almost 100 members of our community: parents, students, graduates, staff, board members, and community leaders. Through challenging conversations, information gathering, deep listening and a little bit of dreaming, our community put

forward a plan for our schools that was approved by the board on Aug. 22. Our district transformation began by determining what we collectively believe as a community, regardless of context, and articulating who we aspire to be. Mahtomedi Public Schools has so much to be proud of including the strong foundation that has established our district as a state and national leader in educational excellence. Our strategic plan calls for us to go beyond test scores to pursue and deﬁne excellence in new, bold ways. Our strategic planning process pushed us to explore our identity as a school district, examine what’s possible, and set up a path to ﬁgure out how are we going to do it. The plan is comprehensive with a new mission, belief statements, objectives, strategies, and parameters. The Strategic Plan is a living framework for us going forward. Through the comprehensive process and outcome, we saw several themes emerge and this will guide our work going forward. • Personal Excellence • Sense of Belonging and Purpose • Culture of Trust

www.presspubs.com • 651-407-1200

You will see us learning and implementing new ways of teaching and learning in our district. These themes will guide our work. The learning and implementing in these areas will support us to accomplish our objectives for students of Mahtomedi Public Schools. This work is exciting and it is instilling new hope and a hunger for exploring what’s possible in our community. The 2019-20 school year start gives us joy, hope, and excitement for what’s next for Mahtomedi Public Schools. I look forward to sharing more about our strategic plan with the community as we continue our work. I encourage you to visit our website for more details about the plan and to watch a video with an overview of the process and plan: mahtomedi. k12.mn.us/2019_Strategic_ Planning Superintendent Barb Duffrin, Mahtomedi Public Schools.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thank you emergency responders I would like to give a big thank you to the White Bear Lake Police and Fire Department. They were fast, friendly, efficient and kind when I called 911 to report my home had been hit by a vehicle after midnight last week. The professionalism and care they displayed should make our city proud that we have such an excellent emergency response team. Thank you. Carol Stehly White Bear Lake

When it’s safe for all I live on a part of the lake that has a beautiful trail on it. It's wonderful. Won't it be nice when it is all safe for travel around the entire lake? That's what the Lake Links Association trail project will bring to all the residents in the area so all can enjoy the lake and be safe, whether they are walking, biking, running or just trying to get from point A to point B safely. Please support all the Lake Links Trail Association efforts as we are seeing some great progress on South Shore and over in Dellwood/ Mahtomedi. Judy Craig White Bear Lake

Community health comes first It is reprehensible that Water Gremlin is making claims they are “doing the right thing” and “accepting accountability” as they continue to break rules and laws, putting our health at risk for over 17 years: nothing has changed. At what point has Water Gremlin done the “right” thing? Was it in July 2018 when they decided to produce even more dangerous air emissions for several months after they had agreed with the MPCA to reduce these emissions? It is estimated Water Gremlin was producing 12 times the permitted level of 10 tons of TCE per year at that point. Water Gremlin broke the law and received a duty of candor violation as a result. Or was it this year in June, when Water Gremlin realized the new chemical they were using, tDCE, had leaked into the

space under its building, yet decided to wait 40 days to report the leak instead of following the MPCA’s stipulation agreement to report issues in no more than two business days? That result was so concerning to the MPCA that it told Water Gremlin to stop using the chemical tDCE because the company has “no control” over the active release of the chemical. Though the words Water Gremlin says are pretty and conciliatory, I have learned to watch what they DO, not what they SAY. Water Gremlin’s business interests seem to keep running roughshod over the health and well-being of this community, and I wonder when it is going to stop. Why is a company that has continued to have problems following health and safety regulations still able to self-report results to the MPCA? Why is it still able to be in business at all? The answer, I am afraid, is that current laws have been created to maintain business interests over the interest, health and well-being of our community members. These laws need to be changed so that the health of the community comes first. Andrea West White Bear Lake

Civility keeps strength in state of the union The peddling of offense is an irrational tactic, not suitable for substantive public discourse. Where non-reason is applied, tyranny is not far away. Attempts to leverage fellow citizens with voluminous displays does not speak well of one’s own grasp of the governance of freedom. On the other hand, the voice of reason builds healthy arguments on the learning of the past and the exigencies of the present toward a strengthening of institutions that preserve freedom while guarding against chaos. It communicates measured respect and trust in both our institutions and our fellow citizens. Applied to the present, am I offended at Trump’s communication quirks? No, but I wish he’d change. Am I offended at what seems to be yellow (perhaps better described as “blue pill”) journalism? No,

but the media do us and our institutions a vast disservice. Was I offended at the “deplorables” reference? Or Obama’s mendacity (my health coverage cost went up over 1000% — no savings there)? Or Clinton’s destructive proclivities? Or Nixon’s use of the state’s apparatus to assuage his own insecurities? In every case, no. But I will affirm in every case my commitment to civil discourse, even in opposition. I respect Mr. Gene Johnson, and welcome his observations, even if I happen at times to see things differently. Applying reason to those differences, not offense, will keep the state of the Union, at least in this neighborhood, strong. Jim Nash White Bear Lake

Citizens have more questions for Water Gremlin On Friday, Sept. 19, Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group (NCCG) filed a request with the Office of Legislative Auditor (OLA) for an investigation into Water Gremlin. We are thankful to Sen. Roger Chamberlain for submitting the first request. We wanted our citizen voice and perspective on the record as well. Questions citizens have been asking are covered in the request and an overview is below. How was 15-plus years of excessive TCE emissions missed? How did Water Gremlin not know equipment was not operational? How did the MPCA not catch it earlier? Where else in Minnesota is this happening? What could have been done differently? How much wrong does a company get to do before there is a very significant penalty, or even a referral for criminal charges? As reported in the White Bear Press, Water Gremlin said, after hiring a new safety manager, they discovered the issues. Those issues were reported to the MPCA in July, 2018. A representative goes on to suggest that since July, 2018, everything has been transparent with

Marilynn Marcella (Kuenkel) Garin It is with great sadness that the family of Marilynn Marcella (Kuenkel) Garin announces her passing from cancer on Saturday, September 14, 2019 at the age of 82 years. Beloved wife and best friend for 61 years of James Richard Garin and much loved mother of Kathleen (Corky) Fleischman, Jilleen (David) LeTourneau, Thomas (Darci) Garin, and Jennifer (Richard) Zimdars. Cherished grandmother of Chelsea, Chad, Kristine (Kyle), David (Luisa), Daniel, Wyatt, Lawton, Zachary (Kandice), and Amanda (Ken). Great-grandmother of Jack, Della, Lucy, Ana, and Ryleigh. Marilynn was predeceased by her father, Ralph Kuenkel, mother, Elsie (Schouweiler) Kuenkel, sister, DorothyRose (Clayton) Munson and brother, Ralph Jr. “Skippy”, all of North St. Paul. Marilynn was born in North St. Paul, MN and raised her family in White Bear Lake before retiring to Florida. She is survived by numerous other family and friends. Mass services will be held at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Englewood, Florida on Thursday, October 10 at 9:30 a.m. Burial services at Sarasota National Cemetery in Florida will be private for the family after the service.

the MCPA and the community. However, since self-reporting in July, 2018, there have been at least two additional, serious issues. The first resulted in a duty of candor violation when Water Gremlin told the MPCA they would slow emissions in the fall, until they understood more about this issue. The data referenced in the Stipulation Agreement shows, instead, they increased emissions, dramatically after July, 2018. Due in large part to that increase, in 2018 they released the most TCE, 120 tons, against a 10-ton permit. Then, last month it came out that Water Gremlin held on to data for 40 days that should have been turned over to the MPCA in two days. The data showed no control of tDCE in the plant. Additionally, tDCE was being released into the ground, not just the air. When is enough enough? To follow this issue go to www wbanccg.org. Leigh Thiel NCCG Board Member White Bear Township

Housing costs ruled by supply, demand After reading Nicole Woods’ letter to the editor Aug. 28, 2019 (“To our city officials”) regarding her plea to the city to prevent housing cost increases by not granting building permits to tear down and rebuild higher value homes, I had to respond. What she said is true, housing costs are definitely rising and some areas more than others. What she may not realize is this is the basis of a free economy that is crucial to our day-to-day lives: supply and demand. More demand generates higher costs. Of course there are areas in higher demand to live in, thus higher price tags. We can’t all afford to live in the area of our dreams and expecting the city to limit construction to keep costs down is ridiculous. As much as I hate to see neat old homes being torn down, it is the owners’ right to do so. Who wouldn’t love to live Oceanside on a beautiful little coast? I am certainly not going to blame the city for the higher value on those types of homes that prevent me from purchasing one. Kate Richards White Bear Lake

Man charged in connection with robbery WHITE BEAR LAKE — A man who allegedly robbed a bank in August was arrested last week in connection with a spree of robberies in Minnesota and Wisconsin. William Manuel Villanueva, 37, was charged with two counts of second-degree aggravated robbery in Hennepin County District Court on Sept. 17. Villanueva apparently robbed six banks in August in a similar manner. Mid-West One Bank in White Bear Lake was robbed on Aug. 19, according to the criminal complaint. Other banks robbed were in Minneapolis, St. Anthony, North Branch, Alexandria and Roberts, Wisconsin. Multiple law enforcement agencies assisted with the investigation, including the White Bear Lake Police and FBI. Images of the robber were circulated to the public and family members identified the suspect, according to the complaint. A search warrant was obtained for his girlfriend's vehicle. A notebook with impressions from a pen showed a demand note similar in description to the ones given at the bank robberies. The girlfriend admitted that they were involved in the robberies. Villanueva has also reportedly admitted to the robberies. Sara Marie Moore

Washington County was named “2019 Partner of the Year” by the Minnesota Land Trust. The award was presented to the County Board Sept. 17. The county was honored as part of the land trust’s annual Treasured Places celebration at Marine Village Hall and presented to the county for its significant work in preserving natural resources and water quality through its Land and Water Legacy Program. New owners of the Cass Gilbert lake home that listed July 11 for $1,050,000 are Jacob Omman and Chandler Domian Omman, who are moving to White Bear Lake from the Mac-Groveland neighborhood in St. Paul. Co-seller Susan Bonne, a Realtor with Keller Williams Integrity Lakes, said the deal closed Sept. 4. The Ommans made an offer July 22 of $1 million, which was accepted. Final selling price after inspection was $990,000. “I think people were surprised how quickly it sold,” Bonne said, adding that there was a lot of interest in the house. “Our intent was to sell quickly at the height of summer

when the property was at its very best,” she said. “My family and I are pleased with the outcome.” Jacob's parents live on Manitou Island.

Eagle Brook senior pastor announces retirement Bob Merritt, who has lead Eagle Brook Church for 28 years, announced his plans to retire in March 2020. He will retire on his 63rd birthday, March 1. In his announcement to the congregation Sept. 22, he said, “It's time for me to step aside and let younger people take over.” Merritt is not moving from his home in White Bear Township and plans to continue to be part of the church. He prayed about when to retire for two years. “No one asked me to leave,” he said. “I plan to continue to live here in retirement after March 1, 2020. I may do some speaking, writing and take more time for my family.” He also hopes to spend more time outdoors

TESTING: Lab results indicate vapors have not spread to adjacent properties FROM PAGE 1A

The township facility no longer uses TCE as a degreaser for its battery terminal posts, a toxic solvent Water Gremlin released into the air above permitted levels for 17 or more years. It switched to FluoSolv March 1, an alternative to TCE that contains trans-1,2-dichloroethylene or t-DCE. The product was recommended to Water Gremlin by the Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP) back in 2017. After researching TCE replacements at Water Gremlin's request, a MnTAP engineer recommended Fluosolv, noting the Toxic Use Reduction Institute in Massachusetts gave it the “best scores” based on ozone impact, toxicology and performance. The Water Gremlin release also indicated they have taken action to improve vapor capture inside the building. A system has been installed to capture and direct vapors that might reach the air space below the slab to a carbon filter that captures 100% of the vapors. “The system addresses historic TCE issues, but also captures any t-DCE from our operations,” noted Water Gremlin. “The systems have been installed and tested, and the results show that they can efficiently and effectively capture TCE and t-DCE, and control t-DCE vapors.” Wenck was retained by Water Gremlin to conduct the remedial investigation and related follow-up work. Oversight is provided by MPCA. The investigation is also looking at potential contamination to soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater. As Remediation Manager Benker pointed out, the investigation will establish both the location of impacts at the site and the potential for impacts to migrate to neighboring properties. On July 30, 2019, Wenck submitted results of its initial remedial investigation to MPCA. As reported earlier by the Press, results of the remedial investigation show TCE impacts are relatively unchanged from the 2004 site data, meaning TCE concentrations had

not increased in the past decade. MPCA now places a greater emphasis on soil vapor migration than it did in 2004, added the Wenck consultants. The agency has developed more stringent vapor mitigation evaluation and action levels that are applicable to the Water Gremlin site. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can migrate by both groundwater and above groundwater in vapor phase

Senator provides update on Water Gremlin investigation Sen. Roger Chamberlain provided an update last week on his requests to government agencies to investigate the “Water Gremlin situation.” He sent requests to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), the Ramsey County Attorney, the Ramsey County Sheriff, the Legislative Auditor and Gov. Tim Walz. Here are the responses the senator received: • The BCA said it referred the issue to the federal Environmental Protection Agency, which has the authority to investigate. “The BCA offered its continued support in the matter, but I have not heard any additional details about a possible EPA investigation,” Chamberlain said. • Legislative Auditor Jim Nobles spoke to WCCO about the issue and called Chamberlain personally. “He assured me that an audit of Water Gremlin and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is within their authority and he will do everything he can to get it on their agenda.” Added Chamberlain, “I have not heard directly from Ramsey County Attorney John Choi or his office. Initially his office said that such an investigation would not be their responsibility, but they appear to have softened on that position and are reviewing the case along with others.” The senator also met with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Commissioner Laura Bishop. She assured him that the agency is conducting a formal review of their processes. She also advised they have been meeting with the Ramsey County Attorney. Finally, Chamberlain said he received a call from Suzanne Sobotka, who works in Gov. Tim Walz’s office. “She expressed concern about the issue. I agreed. I told her, ‘You — the people I represent — are the ones who are most concerned, and we owe it to you to figure out what happened.’ I hope to meet with the governor soon about this.” Next month Chamberlain plans to participate in a town hall hosted by Conservation Minnesota about the Water Gremlin issue. It will take place from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Oct. 26 at the Hanifl Performing Arts Center in White Bear Lake. The senator promised to continue working on the issue until there is resolution and clear answers about what went wrong and how it will be fixed. From press release

to work with its customers to transition to a water-based coating solvent that would result in a 50% reduction in t-DCE use and emissions. Read the statement: “While not all our customers are ready to make the switch, we are working hard to confirm its effectiveness and quality to show customers it can meet their specifications.”

Water Gremlin’s coating operations remain paused as the company continues

Township’s position on Water Gremlin At its Sept. 16 Town Board meeting, White Bear Township supervisors approved the following statement: White Bear Township’s Board of Supervisors and staff have been monitoring the ongoing issues specific to Water Gremlin since the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) notified the public in January of 2019. The Board has been dismayed, to say the least, at Water Gremlin’s failure to grasp the many opportunities it has been given to comply since the beginning of the year. At this point, the board will continue to observe the situation and defer to the rightful authority, the MPCA, as the agency has preemptive authority over the Township in these matters. If there is a responsibility that falls upon the Township as directed by the MPCA, we will act accordingly.

Early results in for air monitors at Birch Lake Elementary The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) activated air monitors at Birch Lake Elementary School Aug. 13. On Friday, Sept. 20, the agency reported the first results. On Aug. 13 and Aug. 19, monitors detected low levels of t-DCE (0.8 micrograms per cubic meter and 16 micrograms per cubic meter, respectively). According to the agency, these levels are well below the health benchmark and are consistent with what is expected in an area where industrial activity is occurring. Darin Broton, director of communications, said the MPCA is collecting outdoor air samples every six days and

will continue to do so for the next few months (or longer, if unexpected results are found). This type of sampling requires a 14-day processing period plus several days for review, so the agency just recently received the first round of results, he said. Initially, MPCA planned to leave these monitors in place for 90 days. Since Water Gremlin is not currently operating its coating lines, that period will be extended. “If the company resumes full operation, this will give us more information about whether Water Gremlin’s activity is impacting air quality in the broader community,” added Broton.

coaches’ associations. His tenure at White Bear started in 1965 when he taught college prep English Literature and creative writing. Mork retired from teaching in 1996. When Mork retired, he wrote a book called “The Power of Becoming: Achieving Personal Fulfillment,” published in 2005. After receiving his master's degree in physical education in 1970, Glover joined the White Bear faculty as an instructor in physical education and assistant coach in soccer, basketball and track. After 10 years as a teacher/ coach at both White Bear and Mariner, Glover was asked to establish and teach one of the first comprehensive adapted physical education programs in the state for all students in the White Bear Lake area. He remained in the district until his retirement from White Bear in 2000. He then went on to teach at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. In 1981, Glover was named Minnesota Teacher of the Year; in 1989, he was named the first recipient of the Adapted Physical Education Teacher of the Year award. Frank Perpich started his teaching career at White Bear Lake High School in 1957. He was known for bringing the science of biology to life for his students and for his commitment to excellence. He also coached the Bears wrestling team with Joe Rukavina for eight years. Mork and Glover will be present to receive their awards and greet guests; however, Perpich is too frail to travel. “Please join us in honoring these teachers who gave so much to all of us and who went on to accomplish much, much more,” said Deb Acheson Berry, Class of ’71, secretary of the alumni association. “This is a great chance to visit and reminisce with fellow students and teachers while enjoying a self-guided tour of the building.” Berry added an interesting, it'sa-small-world, fact about Mork and Glover: They are from the same town in southern Minnesota. “Paul not only coached Don, but Don was also the first babysitter for Paul's kids.

The White Bear Lake High School building is now the District Center and Central Middle School, but from 1919 to the 1950s it was the first dedicated high school. The original building included just the section between the two stairwell bays that bookend the structure. Three uniform window sections occupied the entire façade, and “White Bear High School” was engraved across the top. The old school is part of this year’s White Bear Lake Area Historic House Tour on Sept. 29.

Town Hall historical markers complete site A series of five historical markers that give a glimpse into the history of White Bear Township were placed during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Township Day festival Sept. 14. The markers were researched and written by the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society (WBLAHS) and installed along the trail leading from the parking lot at Polar Lakes Park up to the historic Town Hall. The markers help share stories of the area that has become White Bear Township through key questions including, “Who Were the Area’s First Inhabitants?” and “Why is White Bear Township Shaped That Way?” The multiyear project to research, write and design the markers is the culmination of a vision for the historic site within the park that was crafted by the historical society and White Bear Township several years ago. According to WBLAHS Executive Director Sara Markoe Hanson, the markers are an effort to engage visitors who come to the park for other purposes. “This park is incredibly active, and the Town Hall is not always open. We wanted to provide a more passive way to interact with visitors who might not seek out a museum or historic site, but would pause to read the plaques while they wait for their game to start or are bringing kids to the playground,” Hanson said.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

A steady stream of visitors toured the restored Town Hall during Township Day.

The project was funded in part by grants from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation. Work on the Town Hall's interior continues, and the site is planned to

officially open for community groups and school tours in 2020. The Town Hall will house exhibits and provide space for presentations on local history. The structure was originally designed by Minnesota architect Cass Gilbert in 1885 and is believed to be Gilbert’s fi rst

public building. He would later go on to design the Minnesota state Capitol, along with the West Virginia and Arkansas state capitols and the United States Supreme Court Building. The Town Hall has been moved three times in its more than 130-year history and has suffered at least one fire. Recent efforts to rehabilitate the structure have revealed significant clues to its original form and layout.

It’s historic house tour time Ticket holders can once again view 10 historic and unique properties around town, some of which may never again be open to the public. The sites can be seen Sunday, Sept. 29, by purchasing a $25 ticket from the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. Members pay $20. The homes include a Lake Avenue two-story built in 1885; a Cottage Park home built in 2017 with a nautical motif; and a Crestline Drive home built in 1963. This home was built as part of the building boom in the ’50s and ’60s when White Bear’s population spiked. The lower level of this home was redesigned to function as a completely separate dwelling space. A Mahtomedi cottage on Quail Street is House No. 6 on the tour. It sits on the former site of the Mahtomedi Hotel, which accommodated guests visiting the Chautauqua. The hotel was partially dismantled in 1907 and portions were used to construct cottages in the area, including this one. A Lincoln Avenue home built in 1885, House No. 8, was the home of William W. Webber, who settled in White Bear in 1855. His fi rst wife, Amanda, and two of their sons died in the 1860s and were buried on the farm. Webber and his surviving son, William Jr., remained and soon realized there was need for a nondenominational cemetery. Union Cemetery was formally organized out of Section 36 of the Webber farm property in 1877. Established on June 27, 1877,

on the corner of Hwy. 96 and Second Street, the cemetery is a bonus site on the tour. A modern architectural style is readily apparent with House No. 9 on Park Avenue in Mahtomedi. The original home on the 1919 lake property was demolished in 2007 and a new one was built. That home succumbed to fi re in 2012. The current home takes advantage of the lakeshore lot that drew people to it more than a century ago. Rounding out the 10 on tour is the charming 1879 Fillebrown House, representing White Bear’s golden resort years, First Presbyterian Church and its magnificent stained glass, White Bear Town Hall undergoing restoration in Polar Lakes Park, and the original White Bear

P. Carli when their sister, Miss Bess Ryan became the bride of Dr. C. R. Flandrick, of this city. Rev. Father Fahey of St. Mary of the Lake Church officiated. The ceremony took place in the living room and was witnessed by members of the immediate families. 1944 On Saturday night, October 7 the Bear’s Den of White Bear will bring the famous KSTP Barn Dance and “Main Street” to the High School auditorium for a stage show and radio broadcast.

Birchwood considers leaving White Bear district The city of Birchwood is conducting a survey among its residents regarding what school district it wants to be part of, according to a questionnaire form. The city is currently part of the White Bear Lake Area Schools district. The survey contemplates whether or not it would be a better fit to be part of

the Mahtomedi Public Schools district. In Birchwood, 49 students currently open enroll in Mahtomedi Public Schools. There are 40 that attend White Bear Lake Area Schools. The survey was put together by a group of residents under the City Council's direction in response to the White Bear district's proposed $326 million bond referendum. According to the survey, the 2017 tax rate in Mahtomedi was 0.254 and 0.230 in White Bear. The survey can be submitted to Birchwood City Hall through Oct. 7, according to City Administrator Tobin Lay. The community has received a sig-

nificant number of surveys back in a short period of time already, he added. Even if residents preferred to leave White Bear Lake Area Schools and the City Council made the request official, both district boards would have to agree to the change. White Bear Lake Area Schools Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak said he didn't think the board would approve of such a change unless there were other land within the Mahtomedi district offered to it in return.

Baumann racks up honors, no-hitter, in Baltimore Orioles chain Richmond with seven strikeouts and two walks. “My fastball — it’s low to mid 90s — and slider, are my best pitches,” he said. “I’m working on my curve and changeup.” The minor league pitching coaches, he said, preach “being consistent, that’s the biggest thing, that and developing secondary pitches.” Baumann was drafted in the third round by the Orioles in 2017, after three college seasons with Jacksonville (Florida), where he posted a 16-8 career record. In his last season, he was 5-3 with a 3.09 ERA and 97 strikeouts in 87 innings. In the Orioles chain, he’s climbed from Aberdeen in 2017 to Delmarva and Frederick in 2018, then Frederick and now Bowie in 2019. All are cities in Maryland. At Frederick this year, he struck out 77 batters in 54 innings, posting a 3.83 ERA and 1-4 record, and was called up to Bowie on June 16. Asked where he lives during the season — minor league ballplayers can’t sign any six-month apartment leases — he explained, “The teams provide host families to stay with, and I live out of my car a lot, too. That’s where all my belongings are.” He drives a Jeep Cherokee. The former Zephyr is two rungs below the big leagues, with a good chance to move up another level next year. Asked how much he ponders the possibilities, he said, “You just control what you can control, and put yourself in the best position you can.”

Female triathlete qualifies for world Ironman

Still time to race There's still time for runners to get their race on. Midwest Multisport Races of White Bear Lake plans two more races through end of year. Scare in White Bear is Oct. 25. A kid's fun run starts at 6 p.m., followed by a 5K and party on Memorial Beach. Torches light the way and costumes are encouraged. Race Director Judi Fluger is again holding the Fast Before the Feast on Thanksgiving Day. Proceeds benefit the White Bear Lake and Hugo food shelves. Triathletes participated in One Last Tri Sept. 15 at Ramsey Beach. Competitors chose between a sprint and an Olympic triathlon. The sprint consisted of a 400-yard swim in White Bear Lake, a 13.6 mile bike ride along Stillwater's rolling hills and a 3.1 mile run. The more arduous version was an 800-yard swim, 27.25-mile bike and 6.2 mile run. The course is great for first timers getting a late season start.

Altitude doesn’t bother ultra marathoner Rachel Drake.

A Dellwood triathlete has earned a spot in the IronMan World Championship next year in Kona, Hawaii. Based on her performance in the recent IronMan Wisconsin Triathlon, held Sept. 8 in Madison, Rhiannon O'Connor qualified to compete in the world championship race October 2020. The IronMan Triathlon is a one-day race that includes a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bicycle course, and a 26.2 mile marathon run. The Hawaii IronMan is the pinnacle of the IronMan Triathlon sport. It is an international invitation-only race of the top IronMan Triathletes from around the world. O'Connor has been competing in triathlons for more than 15 years, and also won her age group race in the 2013 IronMan Triathlon held in Wales, U.K.

Long-distance trail runner competes in French Alps Ultramarathoner Rachel Drake finished 56th overall at a 100K (62 miles) race in Mont Blanc, France. She was the seventh female across the finish line, running the course through the French Alps in 13:26:52. Of 2,132 runners starting the race, 1,578 finished. A resident of Portland, Oregon, the Nike-sponsored Drake is a 2009 graduate of White Bear Lake Area High School and the daughter of Craig and Gloria Drake of White Bear Lake. She also plans to compete in the World Long Distance Trail Running Championships in Argentina in November and qualified for the Olympic marathon team trial in Atlanta Feb. 29. She qualified for the trials at Grandma's Marathon in June with a time of 2:40:17, placing 15th among female racers.

They were visited in Richmond by Rob Garry, current Mahtomedi coach who was an assistant when Hjelle and Baumann led Mahtomedi to the 2014 state tournament. “Obviously there is a lot of talent at their level, but after spending four days watching them at their job, it was pretty easy to see the difference between the guys that hope to get to the next level, and the guys willing to work for it,” Garry observed. “These two guys understand that even though they are exceptionally talented and gifted, nothing will be given to them. They out-work most of their peers, and the results continue to prove that.” Noting that each got a substantial signing bonus, the coach added, “Their bank account may have changed, but the individual has not, they are so impressive as people, players, and friends. It would be a dream come true for a lot of people to watch them at the highest level.” In the regular season with Bowie, Baumann had a 6-2 record and 2.31 ERA in 70 innings, with 65 strikeouts and 20 walks, helping the Baysox win the East Division. In the playoffs, he pitched five strong innings (two runs) in a win over Richmond to help Bowie win that series, and gave up two runs in three and 2/3 innings in a loss to Trenton (N.J.), which won the championship 3-1.

For Michael Baumann, the Mahtomedi graduate in his third year pitching in the Baltimore Orioles organization, it’s been a season of thrills, honors and progress. The 6-4, 225-pound right-hander was one of two hurlers sharing the Orioles Jim Palmer Minor League Pitcher of the Year award, announced last week. “It’s a great experience. I’m having a blast,” said Baumann, 24, reached by phone recently in Maryland. He also racked up a promotion, two other significant awards, and that most coveted pitching feat, a no-hitter, this summer. Last Saturday, Baumann and the other pitcher, Grayson Rodriquez, along with Ryan Mountcastle, named top minor league position player, were honored in an on-field ceremony at Camden Yards prior to the Orioles game against the Seattle Mariners. Fans had an opportunity to meet them in a Q and A session on the Budweiser Roof Deck during batting practice. Baumann’s mother, Leslie, flew to Baltimore to be with him. Baumann was named the Orioles’ Minor League Pitcher of the Month in July, playing for the Bowie Baysox in Maryland in the Eastern League, after moving up in June from Class A to AA. He posted a 1.38 ERA in five July starts, holding opponents to a .148 batting average and no homers. The main highlight was his no-hitter

with two walks against Harrisburg (Pennsylvania) in a 6-0 win July 16. “First no-hitter I ever threw,” said Baumann, whose 95th pitch hit the corner for his 10th strikeout Michael Ba Baumann mann to finish the gem. He never got one in Little League, high school or college, but achieved it in the second-highest level of the minor leagues. The big club took notice. Baumann’s feat was featured in the Baltimore Sun. “He was nasty,” manager Buck Britton told the Sun. “That’s big league stuff tonight, for sure.” Also fun: his former Zephyr teammate Sean Hjelle was pitching in the same league. A second-year pro in the San Francisco Giants chain, Hjelle (whom the Press featured in a previous article) was called up to Richmond (Virginia) on Aug. 8 from San Jose (California). “Our teams have played each other, but we haven’t gone head to head,” Baumann said. “Sean and I got together in Richmond when he came up. We’re both living the dream.”

Lauren Splett, Mahtomedi junior, has a 13-2 record, alternating at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, for the No. 3 ranked tennis team. She picked up a key victory at 1-singles when the Zephyrs beat Mounds View 5-2 in a duel of highly-ranked teams last week. Splett has played varsity since seventh grade and is active in USTA camps and tournaments around the country. Coach Aaron Freer said “competitive fire” drives her. “Whether it’s a drill in practice, or a match against a tough opponent, Lauren just doesn’t like to lose, period.” Her skills and experience at the top of the lineup helps success trickle down to the other slots, Freer added.

With two long pass plays and a clutch field goal, Mahtomedi almost pulled out a victory at South St. Paul, despite being out-rushed by over 300 yards on Friday evening, Sept. 20. The Packers prevailed 20-17 in overtime behind their ground game advantage of 336 yards to 26. Mahtomedi (1-3) had a 94-yard touchdown pass from Johnny DeVore to Ethan Loss in the first quarter and led 7-0 at halftime. The Packers (2-2) took a 14-7 lead in the third quarter on a 58-yard score by quarterback Mitch Felton and a six-yarder by Quinn Christoffersen. Mahtomedi struck again with halfback Jordan Hull passing to Bjorn Sather for a 75-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

The 14-14 tie stood through the fourth. Mahtomedi went first in overtime and had to settle for a field goal attempt, which Kyle Oswald drilled from 38 yards. The Packers got the game-winner on third down with a one-yard TD from Christoffersen, who carried 35 times for 195 yards. Felton added 138 on 14 carries. DeVore completed seven of 16 passes for 153 yards. The Zephyrs had 228 air yards but were held to 26 yards in 23 rushes. Steven Runkel caught five passes for 54 yards. Isaac Honebrink made 10 tackles, Tony Neubeck eight, Oswald seven, and Matt Muetzel and Ty Decker five each. Nick Weisner intercepted a pass and Oswald recovered a fumble. Mahtomedi will host North St. Paul (0-4) on Friday.

Cretin-DH’s big plays subdue Bears 28-13 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake kept the pressure on unbeaten Cretin-Derham Hall throughout the game but the Raiders fended off the Bears 28-13, mainly via several breakaways by Tony Underwood, on Friday at the University of St. Thomas. “We had a few chances to take control and the lead but didn't take advantage of them,” coach Ryan Bartlett said. “Credit to them (Raiders), though.They are long, athletic and fast.” Underwood dashed 85 yards to break a 7-7 tie late in the third period, then turned a short pass from Preston Thelemann into a 55-yard score early in the fourth to make it 21-7. He had opened the scoring with a 15-yard TD on another screen pass, and rushed for 191 yards on just 15 carries. The Bears closed the gap again with Nate Laroache hauling in a 21-yard TD pass from Branden Berwald with 5:21 left. The kick was blocked. The Raiders answered with a long drive capped by Thelemann’s one-yard sneak for a 28-13 lead with 1:35 left. White Bear Lake (2-2) missed three

chances to score in the first half. Two promising drives were foiled when the Raiders stopped fourth-and-one runs. Jeff Odamtten just missed a 36-yard field goal attempt with four seconds left. CDH mistakes helped keep the Bears in the game. The Raiders incurred 13 penalties for 110 yards. They went for a first down on a 4th-and-29 play from just over midfield in the third quarter while up 7-0, and lost yardage when a lateral was fumbled. That gave the Bears a short field and they capitalized with a 50-yard scoring drive. Cam Zaleski’s 20-yard run gave them a first down at the two. It still took four plays but Berwald burrowed the last two feet on fourth down and Odamtten’s kick tied it 7-7. Zaleski carried 21 times for 93 yards. Berwald completed 11 of 23 for 114 yards, to seven receivers, with one interception. Brice Peters averaged 15.3 yards on four punt returns, including a 33-yarder, and 22.3 yards on four kick returns. Odamtten made a 58-yard punt. The Bears will host East Ridge (2-2) in the Homecoming game on Friday. BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Fall a great time to buy golf equipment I’m often asked by clients if new clubs will help them play better. The answer in most cases is yes. Technology has advanced so far, so fast that it’s often worth investing in new clubs every five years. A good set will run anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500. That’s a lot of money but I look at it this way. If you play twice a week for five years (22 weeks a season is 44 rounds, which is what an average golfer plays) the cost will be $7 to $10 per round. That’s less than a sleeve of balls! The next question is always what clubs to buy. Most people are swayed by the names they hear all the time: Calloway, Taylor Made, Titleist and Ping. That’s because they spend more money on advertising than everyone else put together. The best clubs to buy are the ones you hit the best. The only way to determine that is to try them. If you’re going to spend that kind of money, find a reputable club fitter. I’ve had many clients this summer who don’t need or want a full set. If you walk, you may only want a couple of woods, a hybrid, 4 irons, 2 wedges and a putter. If you’re only going to replace part of your set, I’d do irons first. Many times an average golfer is more

accurate off the tee with a 3 or 5 wood. So I’m not a believer that everyone has to hit a driver off the tee. I’d give up 20 yards in distance to be in the middle of the fairway any day of the week! I’m often asked where Tee to go for clubs. I send all my clients (and myself) Time to 2nd Swing in Minneapolis. They are, hands Betsy Larey down, the best club fitters I’ve ever worked with. The Tour Van fitting studio uses the same equipment as professionals use on the tours. I prefer these guys over the big box golf stores because they have better fitting equipment, a lot more experience, and they are not trying to sell you something they have in stock. If money is an issue, you can pay for the fitting and take those specs to their store next door and buy something used. You also don’t have to have the same brand for all the clubs in your bag. I play with Tour Edge woods and hybrids, Calloway irons and Titleist Vokey wedges. Different companies specialize in different clubs, so you may

love the driver and hate the irons. When choosing irons, you have three options. Player irons have a very narrow sole and are made of forged steel. Back in the day, they were called blades. These are designed for better players who want to be able to work the ball. Game improvement irons have a somewhat wider sole with a larger cavity back. These irons can hide quite a few problems in a player's swing, but you still need to compress the ball at impact to hit good shots. Super game improvement irons have the widest sole and are the easiest to hit mid to high handicap golfers. Players with slow clubhead speed and shallow angles of approach will get the most distance and better launch angle with this design. They will fit for shaft flex, length and lie angle in steel or graphite. It’s personal choice as to how many hybrids you carry in your bag. I think higher handicappers benefit from swapping out their 4 and 5 irons for hybrids. It’s a better launch angle and they’re easier to hit out of the rough. I also think players would benefit by using something else besides the standard pitching and sand wedge that comes with every set. Remember, wedges are your scoring clubs so an

investment in two or three wedges will knock strokes off of your game. Two companies own the wedge market, and they truly are superior over their competitors: Titleist and Cleveland. So if you are in the market for new clubs, the end of the season is a great time to find deals. Just make sure you find a good club fitter, and don’t just buy them because you like the way they look. This column is my last for the season. I have truly enjoyed writing for you, and a big thanks to all of you who sent encouraging words. I will be here through October so if you’d like one last look at your swing, please get in touch.

Everything increases but taxes for 2020 BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — Thanks to complicated tax formulae, nearly everything can increase while taxes decrease. The market value of residential housing in Mahtomedi increased slightly from 2019 to 2020, but the city tax on that median value home decreased during that same period. The city's 2020 general fund revenues and expenditures are proposed to increase 2.55% from the 2019 budget, with budgeted revenue and expenditures of $6.3 million. That is the take-away from the proposed 2020 annual budget, as presented by Finance Director Scott Schaefer at the Sept. 17 Mahtomedi City Council meeting. After a public hearing on the preliminary 2020 general fund budget, during which the public provided no commentary, council unanimously certified the preliminary 2020 levy to be submitted to Washington County by Sept. 30 for review. The proposed 2020 general fund tax

levy is $3.3 million, a 3% percent increase from 2019. Debt service decreased by 0.7% to $1.499 million, and the PERA contribution increased by $26,000; added together, the special levy total is $1.525 million. Council passed a resolution canceling the debt service and PERA tax levies and adding them to the general fund levy, which amounts to a proposed total city levy of $4.8 million ($1.525 million plus $3.3 million). This amounts to a 1.8% increase from 2019. Increases in revenue for the city in the upcoming budget will come from licenses, fees, permits and intergovernmental revenue. A 3.65% decrease in street improvement expenses in the amount of $19,600 will also help out in the favorable column. The largest sources of revenue for the city are property taxes at 77% of the pie; current services at 11% and licenses, fees and permits at 4%. Expenditures will increase as administration costs go up by $29,300, or 5%; parks expenses will rise by $47,000, or 10%; police services by $50,000 or 12%, and fire protection by $50,000 or 10%.

A copy of the proposed language is available at City Hall. Tobin Lay, City Administrator Published one time in the White Bear Press on September 25, 2019.

CITY OF BIRCHWOOD VILLAGE NOTICE OF HEARING ON IMPROVEMENT 2019 LAKE AVENUE MILL AND OVERLAY CITY PROJECT NO. 2019-1 Notice is hereby given that the Birchwood Village City Council will meet in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 207 Birchwood Ave, Birchwood Village, MN, at 7:00 p.m. on October 8, 2019, to consider the making of a public improvement pursuant to Minn. Stat. 429.011 to 429.111. This public improvement includes the mill and overlay of Lake Avenue. The estimated cost of this proposed improvement is $76,700.00. A reasonable estimate of the impact of the assessment will be available at the hearing. The 29 properties proposed to be assessed for this improvement are stated below: • Lake Avenue o 407 Lake Avenue to 533 Lake Avenue • Lakewood Lane o 365 Lakewood Lane • Wildwood Avenue o 369 Wildwood Avenue o 401 Wildwood Avenue o 555 Wildwood Avenue o 613 Wildwood Avenue • Jay Street o 549 Jay Street Such persons as desire to be heard with reference to the proposed improvement may be heard at this hearing.

CITY OF MAHTOMEDI PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that on October 9 2019, 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road, the Mahtomedi Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to solicit public response to a request from Holiday Station Stores and Indigo Sign Works for a conditional use permit to allow for an electronic display sign, and variance to increase the maximum allowable electronic display

The largest expenditures for the city are public safety at 29% of the pie; debt service at 24%; general government at 19% and public works at 11%. Meanwhile, the median value home in 2020 increased in market value to $343,900, a 5% increase: that same home was valued at $328,100 in 2019. However, the 2020 proposed tax for that median value home will be $1,220 in city taxes, compared with $1,246 in 2019, or a 2% decrease. With all these increases in the budget and in the tax levy, how is it possible that the city portion of the property tax bill is decreasing? The city was helped out by a 24% increase in monies it receives through the state’s Fiscal Disparity program, a tax-base sharing program in which all metro cities participate. All metro-area cities contribute; those cities found to be disadvantaged in their tax base receive a portion of the funds contributed. “Mahtomedi received money this year, so that helps,” Schaefer said. Additionally, new homes in the city added to the housing stock, and that has also helped, Schaefer said. More

The Planning Commission will make a recommendation regarding the proposed requests to the City Council for their meeting to be held on October 15, 2019, 7:00 p.m. at City Hall.

Loon Chronicles IV: Autumn has arrived Transition is underway on White Bear Lake. The adult Loons are now gone and most likely feasting on fish in Lake Michigan. Juvenile Loons from other lakes continue to drop in and can be found in small groups at sunrise, fishing and preening together. The migratory ducks are starting to gather and can be found in large groups after sunset. Notably missing, however, are the Coots. In previous years, large rafts or covers of Coots typically started to gather in early September. For reasons unbeknownst to us, the Coots have yet to arrive. Until they return, the juvenile Loons remain at greater risk while the Eagles hover above looking for unsuspecting prey. The fall colors are definitely popping with hues of gold, orange, and yellow. Last week also featured some spectacular sunsets. A grand way to welcome the new season.

groups, including the White Bear Center for the Arts, Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative (MAGI), and Washington County Library and Community Services. The Community Connection Night was an opportunity for Mahtomedi Public Schools families to meet other families and find out about community groups, athletic and activity organizations, and other wellness-oriented groups in a fun, family-friendly way at the start of the school year. The Community Connection Night was the first event of the Zephyr Wellness program. The program is a new initiative to help students, staff and community members learn, grow and support each other on wellness issues. It includes a community conversation series, staff development to support student wellness, and co-located mental health services in all school buildings. This year’s program scope is made possible because of the generosity of the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation through its annual Fund-A-Need fundraiser. Resources from the event and future event information are available on the Mahtomedi Public Schools website at www.mahtomedi.k12.mn.us/zephyrwellness.

White Bear Lake Area High School math teacher Lisa Kehe was one of two Minnesota teachers chosen by the Knowles Teacher Initiative as members of its 2019 Cohort of Teaching Fellows. This year, 37 promising high school mathematics and science teachers who are just beginning their careers were awarded Knowles Teaching Fellowships. The Knowles Teacher Initiative is an intensive and cohesive five-year program that supports early-career, high school mathematics and science teachers in their efforts to develop teaching expertise and lead from the classroom. Through the program, Knowles Fellows have access to grants for expenses associated with purchasing classroom materials, engaging in professional development and spearheading leadership activities that have an impact beyond their own classrooms. Fellows also benefit from access to stipends, mentoring and coaching from experienced teachers and teacher educators, and membership in a nationwide community of more than 400 teachers who are committed to improving education. Kehe began teaching at White Bear during the 2019–2020 school year. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics from St. Olaf College in 2019. Throughout her undergraduate career, Kehe was part of a local mentorship program through St. Olaf College that pairs local middle school girls with a college mentor to foster friendship and mentorship.

Brighten up interior spaces with a new coat of paint â€” a perfect project when cooped up indoors.

Beat cabin fever with winter renovations When the weather outside is frightful, homeowners and renters can turn their interior spaces into something delightful. Residents can banish feelings of cabin fever by using time spent inside to make subtle or even substantial improvements to their living areas. Individuals may ďŹ nd that winter is a great time to tackle delayed or unďŹ nished projects or to put plans for major renovations in motion. Homeowners may ďŹ nd that they have some extra time on their hands when weather and early evening darkness reduces how much time they can spend outdoors. The following projects can help homeowners make the most of their time indoors. â€˘ Start painting. One of the easiest ways to transform the look of a room is with a fresh coat of paint. Painting a room or rooms is an inexpensive project that can be completed over the course of a single weekend. Painting in lighter colors can help illuminate dark spaces and make a home feel more vivid and inviting, especially during the winter. And painting need not be reserved for walls only. Homeowners may want to sand and paint furniture to give items a trendy arts-and-crafts feel. â€˘ Reimagine ďŹ‚ooring. Thanks to the bevy of laminate, composite materials and vinyl

ďŹ‚ooring options, homeowners can engage in do-it-yourself ďŹ‚ooring projects to perk up tired interior spaces. Many â€œďŹ‚oatingâ€? ďŹ‚ooring systems are user-friendly and can instantly update spaces. Some systems may not even require adhesives or nails to complete. â€˘ Redress the furniture. New furniture can be expensive. For those who are happy with the lines and scale of their current furniture, a facelift may be all thatâ€™s needed to give rooms a new look. Slipcovers can make sofas, love seats and chairs look like new or blend with an entirely new color scheme. Slipcovers come in ďŹ tted and loose varieties and in many different materials. Other pieces can be updated with throws, new linens or a coat of paint or stain. â€˘ Address drafts and other inefďŹ ciencies. Colder temperatures alert homeowners to drafts, leaks and even insect or rodent inďŹ ltration. Homeowners can scout out rooms and remedy situations. â€˘ Organize the home. Rainy or snowy days are great moments to address organizational issues, such as messy mudrooms or cluttered kitchen cabinets. Get a jump-start on spring cleaning before the warm weather arrives. Time spent indoors can be put to good use by engaging in renovation projects.
