Inevitable: Tax levy hike larger than past years BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — First off, know this: the city tax levy has remained fairly flat since 2007. That said, it's been a long time since the city bought a new fire truck. Years of miserly spending are catching up to the city when it comes to capital equipment needs. Listed on the proposed tax levy spreadsheet is $146,000 for new firefighting equipment. It's one reason the preliminary levy figure is $452,000 higher than last year. Two more reasons for the levy hike: an increase in general fund operations of $80,000 (18 percent) and a move to end the reliance on reserves to operate the city. That accounting change requires $226,000 from taxpayers and accounts for 50 percent of the levy increase. The money has to come from somewhere. It certainly isn't coming from interest revenue or local government aid. Earnings from interest have dropped from $1.9 million in 2008 to $200,000 in 2017. Local government aid has remained flat while the tax levy has seen only a $240,000 increase in the last 10 years, an annual average increase of 0.5 percent. Those three major revenue sources totaled $8.4 million in 2008 compared to $6.6 million in 2017. Still, the city has managed to maintain essential services and keep pace with infrastructure needs, pointed out City Manager Ellen Richter at the Sept. 12 City Council meeting. The levy has stayed fairly flat due to a drawdown in the employee expense fund that helped operate the city. There was more in the fund than needed, so $1.3 million was shifted to offset operations the last four years, which helped keep the levy down. “That now needs to shift to the tax levy,” Richter said. “The projected fund balance for capital equipment is $682,000 after 2018,” noted the city manager. “That is not where we'd like it to be. The $146,000 in the proposed levy would begin to rebuild the revenue stream for the equipment fund to plan for future capital expenditures.” Like a fire truck. SEE TAX LEVY, PAGE 9A

Almost 12 acres of grapes and 5,500 vines make up 7 Vines Vineyard and Winery on Highway 96 in Dellwood.

Number seven prevalent throughout tasteful new winery BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Seven years (there's that number again) after Ron and Arlie Peltier purchased the estate once owned by the daughter and granddaughter of railroad baron James J. Hill, their long planned winery has come to fruition. Wine produced from vineyard grapes is being bottled in house and ready for tasting under the 7 Vines label, which features a twisted vine in the shape of a seven. The unique logo is prevalent throughout the Dellwood winery. The number is signifiant for Peltier. "Seven has always been a special lucky number and has lots of meaning behind it," he had said during an earlier interview. He attended the University of Minnesota on a full hockey scholarship wearing No. 7

and more importantly, the couple have seven grandchildren. Vineyard Business Development Manager Janee Katz provided three of those grandchildren. The Peltier's daughter and her husband, Edina Realtor Eric Katz, are Mahtomedi High School grads who met as teenagers, just like her parents. Her role has evolved along with the vineyard, said Katz, who also lives in Dellwood. She has been involved every step of the way with 7 Vines Vineyard and Winery, one of the state's largest full-experience wineries. A special event open to the public is planned Oct. 8 called Fall in the Vineyard, but a more formal grand opening is planned in spring. "We want people to experience the harvest this fall," Katz said. "We know there is excitement and buzz in SEE WINERY, PAGE 8A

Rotarian selected for international peace award Ann Frisch is going to Switzerland. The White Bear Lake Rotarian has been selected by Rotary International as People of Action: Champion of Peace. This is a significant honor for Frisch, as she is one of only six Rotarians throughout the world to be recognized. In his announcement, District Governor Kyle Haugen wrote: “Frisch's efforts in unarmed civilian peacekeeping worldwide are amazing, and she is very deserving of this recognition. We're very proud to have her in our District's Rotary family.” Fittingly, Rotary International announced the award Sept. 21, the international day of peace. She will be officially recognized at "Rotary Day at the United Nations," which takes place for the first time ever at the United Ann Frisch Nations European Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland in November. Frisch joins five other “Champions of Peace” at the U.N. Rotary Day in Geneva. All are involved in projects that address underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, inequality, ethnic tension, lack of access to education or unequal distribution of resources. There are three other women, from Scotland, India and Bangladesh, two men from Colombia, and Kiran Sirah, president of the International Storytelling Center in Tennessee. Frisch believes unarmed civilians can protect people in violent conflicts. She collaborated with Rotary members in Thailand to establish the Southern Thailand Peace Process training program in 2015 in Bangkok, Hat Yai, and Pattani in southern Thailand. The group brought together electrical and irrigation authorities, Red Cross staff, a Buddhist monk and a Catholic nun in the border region to train civilians to build so-called safe zones. These are areas in which families, teachers and local officials do not have to confront military forces every day. As a United Nations delegate to Geneva, she co-wrote the first manual on unarmed civilian protection, which was endorsed by the U.N. Her training in a civilian-based peace process is administered by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research, the department that trains all U.N. personnel.

Medical boomtown

adnais Heights, located in the epicenter of the northeast metro between St. Paul and its northernmost suburbs, is turning itself into a bonafide medical boomtown. In 2013, the Helene Houle Medical Center brought The Urgency Room, an Allina Health clinic, Courage Kenny Rehabilitation and Metro Dentalcare. In 2014, Summit Orthopedics appeared next to WalMart. This year, Embrace Childbirth Doula Services opened and Twin Cities Orthopedics is under construction. This is quite a feat for a small suburb of 13,000 in four years. Why Vadnais Heights? Perhaps its span across I-35E is an ideal location for booming medical businessStory es to draw the patients it seeks from surrounding communities. Chaser What I see happening in VadSara Marie Moore nais Heights in the medical sector reminds me of oil business in the boomtown off Williston, North Dakota. b t W When I was a reporter for the Williston Herald about five years ago, it seemed as if every oil company was in town to get in on the black gold. The oil boom brought growing pains to the town but also economic benefits to everyone. Teenagers saving for college could work at fast food chains for $15/hour instead of minimum wage. The population soared from 15,000 in 2010 to 27,000 in 2015. Though many workers left when the oil boom slowed a few years later, many families made Williston home and became permanent contributors to the local economy. The medical boom in Vadnais Heights is sure to bring lasting, positive change to the community. Medical professionals may move to town and become part of the local economy. Those visiting the clinics will eat or shop nearby. But Vadnais Heights won’t face the growing pains of a boomtown like Williston. Medical business, unlike oil, grows steadily instead of sharply. Vadnais Heights is also part of a greater metro area and so has not been inundated with newcomers. Instead of roughnecks filling WalMart on their way home from work, a few extra medical professionals walk the aisles. Medical business is also stable. It doesn’t depend on many outside factors except the demand for the service, which is predictable considering the human tendency is to address painful conditions in the body to enhance and extend life. What medical businesses also bring to Vadnais Heights besides medical care closer to home is tax dollars. Cities with a higher business tax base are able to offer more services to its residents. Unlike their nonprofit counterparts, medical businesses pay taxes. In St. Paul, hospitals reaching to the sky don’t support the local economy by way of taxes. Instead, they give back by providing some charity medical care as hospitals are legally required to accept all patients who come to them. Most major healthcare systems in the metro are technically nonprofits — HealthEast, Fairview, Allina and HealthPartners. Medical businesses compete with nonprofit hospitals and draw away paying patients to their specialized facilities. However, this could drive down the cost of health care through competition. Competing business has been helpful for consumers. McDonald’s and Burger King, Walgreens and CVS, WalMart and Target somehow operate better together. In Vadnais Heights, The Urgency Room, Summit Orthopedics and soon, Twin Cities Orthopedics, will all be competing for your sprained ankle. You will be able to pick one of three businesses in a two-mile radius to treat it — reportedly for less hassle than nonprofit hospital emergency rooms miles down the freeway.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

R Request t ffor llonger cross-country articles I am a senior at South Campus in White Bear. I really liked the article on the White Bear Lake boys cross-country team. It was very detailed and had all the times in, as well. It also flowed really well. It was put together so nicely. The only thing I could criticize is that it is a little short. Make it longer. Reed Wisgerhof White Bear Lake

Protect Title IX Title IX is about more than sports for girls; it prohibits all sex discrimination in U.S. schools. That includes instances of sexual harassment and sexual violence, which can occur during a student’s education and which disproportionately impede women and girls’ ability to access an equitable and safe education. But this month, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced her intent to rollback hard-won Title IX protections that keep students safe from discrimination. Schools owe it to students to fully uphold

their Title IX violations th i civil i il rights. i ht Most M t Titl i l ti occur when schools fail to designate a Title IX coordinator or when said coordinator does not have the necessary training or authority. That’s why we are pleased that the White Bear Lake Schools does have a Title IX coordinator. Now is the time to fully enforce Title IX protections, not weaken them. We are confident that our White Bear Lake Schools will continue to do right by students with strong policies. Our Northeast Metro AAUW branch will continue to support their crucial work to protect students. Join us in saying “no” to the department's efforts to roll back Title IX protections. Vernita Kennen White Bear Lake

Supports school board candidate Did you know that White Bear Lake Area School Board elections are on the ballot this fall? Jill Engwer has earned my vote, and I hope you will join me in electing her on Nov. 7. Our local school board plays an import-

antt role the vision l iin setting tti th i i ffor our school h l district and creating opportunities for our children. As a community, we insist on strong schools that offer a challenging curriculum to push our kids to be the best in the nation. Jill has the vision and drive to make that happen. I have had the privilege of working alongside Jill as she led initiatives through the Birch Lake PTA that resulted in enhanced technology in our classrooms, and updates and improvements to our media center. She also created the Birch Lake Elementary Community Garden so families in need have access to fresh produce throughout the summer months. Jill understands the importance of family engagement. She helped create Santa’s Workshop — an inschool “shopping” experience for students to ensure those in need have access to gifts for their families at no cost to them. Jill also led a very successful districtwide food drive to benefit families in need throughout the district. As a school board member, I am confident Jill will use school district resources widely that will benefit all students. Your vote for Jill Engwer for White Bear Lake Area School Board on Nov. 7 will en-

sure th thatt our schools h l and d our community it continue to thrive. Sammy Greeder White Bear Lake

Expects officials to follow the law, too Minnesota state law dictates that drivers stop for pedestrians at designated crosswalks. On the morning of Sept. 20, I witnessed a Washington County patrol car drive through a designated crosswalk on Lincolntown Avenue as I was waiting to cross. Neither flashing lights nor sirens were on and he was driving at a reasonable speed, which makes me think he was not heading to an emergency. If this was a situation requiring the officer to break a law to help a fellow citizen, I would expect lights or sirens to be deployed so that pedestrians and other drivers can get out of the way. If this was not an emergency, I would expect our law enforcement officials to follow the laws we pay them to enforce. Don Anderson Mahtomedi SEE LETTER TO THE EDITOR, PAGE 10A

OBITUARY NOTICES

William Albert Willi Alb Patterson, P Jr. J William Albert Patterson, Jr., 95, of Winona, formerly of Sun Lakes, Arizona, and White Bear Lake, died Wednesday, September 13, 2017. Bill was born November 25, 1921 in St. Paul to William Albert Patterson and Mildred (Warnock) Patterson. Bill was a kind, honorable man who pursued excellence in everything he did. He graduated at the top of his class from White Bear Lake High School and then attended Carleton College before enrolling in the United States Naval Academy, class of 1944, where he excelled in academics and played on the Navy football team. Following graduation, he married Mary Ann Oslund at the Naval Academy Chapel and began his Naval service during World War II on the USS Guest, deployed to the Pacific. He then went to Naval Flight School, receiving his wings in August, 1945. He flew SB2C Helldivers off the USS Midway on deployments to the Arctic, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean. After leaving the Navy, he worked first with his father at Patterson Construction Company putting in power lines across Minnesota, Iowa and North Dakota. In 1955 Bill began a 30-year career with Northern Ordnance/ FMC where his humility, commitment, loyalty, and strong work ethic won him the admiration of coworkers. He was first a field engineer installing missile systems on ships at shipyards in Boston and Quincy, Massachusetts; Bath, Maine; and Brooklyn, N.Y. and he traveled widely to other locations to troubleshoot these systems. He then worked at the Pentagon as a consulting engineer before returning to Minnesota in managerial positions at Northern Ordnance/FMC. At the time of his retirement, Bill was the Manager of Manufacturing responsible for a 3,000-person workforce. His retirement party in 1983 overflowed with colleagues, union

members, management, and family. Bill and Mary Ann’s family includes four children. Together they enjoyed family vacations, and frequent trips back to Minnesota to visit relatives. His love for the outdoors and nature was passed along to his children with time spent in the Maine woods, family canoe trips in the Boundary Waters, and weekends at the family cabin on Lake Washburn. Bill also passed on to his children a sense of obligation in all endeavors and of service to others. He modeled both as an active member of his community, volunteering with the American Red Cross, Rotary, and Radio Talking Books, and serving in leadership positions with his church. Bill was very proud of his Scottish and Presbyterian heritage. Bill enjoyed many hobbies including golf, gardening, curling, hunting, fishing, hiking, and canoeing. As the years passed, he loved watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow. He continued to model perseverance, discipline, and tenacity and steadfastness even while dealing with the impediments of aging. Bill completed a 5k with his family the year of his 90th birthday and continued to toss footballs with his great-grandchildren. At his 90th birthday party he quoted Lou Gehrig, saying “I’m the luckiest man on the face of the earth.” Survivors include his four children, son, William A. III, Ph.D. (Joan) of Northfield, Massachusetts, and their children, Karen (Jeff) Greene, William A. IV (Cindy) Patterson, and David (Sarah Deeb) Patterson; daughter, Ann E. Gibson, Ed.D. (Tom, deceased) of Winona, Minn.,

and their children Thomas W. Gibson, Claire (William) Ragen, William E. (Jennifer) Gibson, and R. Drew (Alissa) Gibson; son, James H., J.D. (Jolanda) of Minneapolis, and their children, Jenifer (Andy) O’Keefe, Jamie Ann Patterson, John (Catherine) Patterson, and James M. (Abbrielle) Patterson; and son, Roger J., J.D.

Bill was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Ann; son-in-law, Thomas Gibson; sisters, Elizabeth Judd and Mildred Deans; and nearly all of his lifelong friends. The family would like to thank the caretakers at Sugar Loaf Senior Living and Winona Hospice for their care of Bill. Special thanks are extended to Enid Underdahl and Joan Hinds for their friendship and loving care of Bill in recent years.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2017

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

Vadnais Heights • Deputies received a tip Sept.13 that a man wanted on a felony warrant could be found in the 1100 block of County Road E. The 26-year-old Des Moines, Iowa fugitive was located while in possession of a stolen, semi-automatic handgun. That new felony charge and the warrant sealed the man’s temporary fate at the Ramsey County Jail. • A Ramsey County warrant for “defrauding an innkeeper” followed a 30-year-old Maplewood woman to a driveway in the 400 block of Vadnais Road the afternoon of Sept. 14 where she was in the midst of a confrontation with a 39-year-old male when deputies arrived. The woman, who was unknown to residents, was booked into jail on a disorderly conduct charge and the warrant. • A cement mixer motor was stolen off the back of a truck at a construction site in the area of Vadnais and Twin Lakes boulevards over the weekend of Sept. 16. The Honda motor was valued at $400. • A thief apparently took a liking to a concrete “pagoda” overnight Sept. 17 on the side of a residence in the 1300 block of County Road E. The unsecured lawn ornament was valued at $200, the 61-year-old

female victim said. • A 47-year-old man, picking up the last vestiges of personal items from a relationship gone sour the afternoon of Sept. 18 on Parkview Court, was attacked by his ex-girlfriend who let him have it with a carjack handle. The 32-year-old woman was cited for second-degree domestic assault and gross-misdemeanor 911 call interference. • Deputies investigating a report of unpleasantness in the 900 block of County Road D the afternoon of Sept. 19 found an 18-year-old male had punched his mother’s 37-year-old boyfriend in a disagreement over chores. The teen was cited for fi fth-degree assault and trespassed from the property.

White Bear Township • A 37-year-old woman’s driver’s side car window was smashed the afternoon of Sept. 17 while she watched a football game with her folks in the 5200 block of Anderlie Lane. No suspects. • A renter didn’t recognize the lock on his mini-storage locker the afternoon of Sept. 17 at the White Bear facility in the 2300 block of Leibel Street, so he took a closer look. The lock had been replaced by a burglar who had fi rst rifled the locker. The victim, and at least two other renters had similar results. One renter lost tools valued at a total of $1,500. All

victims are preparing lists of their losses. • A teenage girl driving her grandma’s gray Pontiac apparently lost control the evening of Sept. 18 and drove through a yard in the 2600 block of Martin Way, clipping a mailbox and knocking down a metal pole before fleeing the scene. Neighborhood witnesses located the offending vehicle and the suspect, who was at a friend’s house, but the bruised and “uncooperative” 17-year-old denied the accusation. She faces pending charges of careless driving, criminal damage to property and hit-and-run. • A 57-year-old Roseville man found himself in custody after being caught red-handed with $31.96 worth of merchandise not paid for outside the Cub Foods store on Meadowlands Drive on Sept. 18. He was cited and released. • A tenant at the Leibel Street mini-storage facility noticed a new lock on his unit, which only holds his 1999 Buick LeSabre, Sept. 18. He checked the unit and found the lock replaced and the old Buick gone. “It has major rust, but it's worth $3,500,” the 57-yearold told deputies with a straight face. • Fists flew the morning of Sept. 19 at the Bellaire Education Center between a pair of juveniles who were “mouthing off.” Ages, genders and hometowns were not released. Charges of fi fth-degree assault and disorderly conduct are pending appearances in juvenile court.

Grant • A group of approximately 12 students was issued a verbal warning late Sept. 9 in the 11000 block of 66th Street N. about the hazards of underage consumption after a neighbor reported seeing lights in his barn and found the students there.

Century College cuts the cake on 50 years BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Students poured into the Century College West Campus gym Sept. 18 to play games, enjoy a photo booth and free popcorn and cupcakes to celebrate the college's 50th anniversary. College and community leaders reflected on 50 years of impacting students. “We have reached this milestone because of the support of so many,” said President Angelia Millender moments before she was given the honor of cutting the 50th-anniversary cake decked out in orange frosting. “We are here not because of one person, but many people.” Several local politicians who have connections to the campus appeared at the event. Sen. Chuck Wiger said his five children all attended Century College. Rep. Peter Fischer is an alumnus. Ramsey County Board of Commissioners Chair Victoria Reinhardt, named a distinguished alumnus in 2010, shared what the college meant to her when she started classes in 1985 after fleeing domestic violence in her first marriage. One of her sons asked her how she would do it — would she even sleep? She said she would not sleep if that is what it took. Reinhardt remembers working on schoolwork from night until dawn. But she said going to Century College transformed her life. Since those single-mom days, she remarried and went on to receive bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees. White Bear Lake Mayor Jo Emerson, an alumna, and Mahtomedi Mayor Jud Marshall, whose wife is an alumna, proclaimed Sept. 18 Century College Day. Century College began as Lakewood State College Sept. 18, 1967. It started with 503 students and cost $5 per credit hour. It moved to its current location in

1969. It was renamed Century College in 1996 when it merged with Northeast Metro Technical Institute. Today, it has about 12,000 students. Minnesota State Chancellor Devinder Malhotra pointed out several things that make Century College unique in the state. The college was the first in the state to have a fab lab, he noted. Since it opened the fab lab in 2009, 75 other schools across the state have followed suit. The college also has a unique orthotics and prosthetics program and is known for its medical training. Since 1974, it has graduated 300,000 nurses. “To all who have helped make this college a jewel in the Minnesota state crown, congratulations on 50 years,” he said.

Student Senate President Tim Knutson commented on the “beautiful day” for the celebration, which had been moved from outdoors to the gym due to rain. “Life is not all sunshine and rainbows,” said Knutson, who has been attending for a decade while working as a chef. “Rain brings life and growth.” Five maple trees were planted on the west campus this year to celebrate the five decades of the college's growth, said Century College Foundation Executive Director Jill Greenhalgh. They also represent the five pillars that keep the college strong — alumni, community, leaders, the state and students.

WINERY: 7 Vines a dream come true for Dellwood couple FROM PAGE 1A

the community about the vineyard and we want to create longevity with our wine.” Rather than a tasting event, Katz described it as more of a "splash." They're still growing inventory. Marquette is the flagship variety; there are five types of grapes, all U of M varieties developed to be cold hardy. Picking starts this week. Visitors on the White Bear Area Historic House tour Sunday were treated to a sneak preview of the tasting room. It was graciously added as a bonus to the home tour, which included a rare opportunity to view the Peltiers' refurbished mansion. Rustic, yet elegant with dark, heavy woods and a large stone fireplace, the tasting room is designed to have a midwestern feel with the charm of wine country. "We drew inspiration from Ram's Gate Winery in Sonoma Valley, California," Katz said, who recently returned from a trip to Napa Valley with her husband. Managing the tasting room is Pete Pakler, who had retired from the White Bear Yacht Club and was persuaded to join the winery team. An observation deck off the tasting room offers a view of the stainless steel fermentation vats on the lower level. "We want people to see what is happening and feel like part of it," Katz noted. There are plans to launch a wine club, called Club 7, and they will be doing private winery events. Thirty events have already been booked, 22 of those weddings, just by word of mouth. The first wedding is Oct. 7. There will also be private Super Bowl parties and dates during the holidays are filling up. Food service will be provided eventually in the full-service commercial kitchen. For now, there will be food trucks and local caterers. Her dad stops by every day, Katz said, and he is the "ultimate decision maker. He wants to make sure it's done right," she said. Peltier, 68, is CEO and chairman of HomeServices of America, the second largest residential brokerage firm in the United States. He waited 25 years for the property, which went into a trust when Peter Ffolliet died in 2010. His late wife Gertrude, or "Tudie," inherited the 188-acre property from her mother, Rachel Boeckmann, the daughter of James J. and Mary T. Hill. Known as the "Empire Builder," Hill owned massive tracts of undeveloped land in Dellwood. As shared on the vineyard's website, Ron and Arlie's dream to build a destination winery comes with a heartbreaking epilogue. A few years ago Arlie, 67, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Her daughter wrote that Arlie has been a part of each step of the process shaping and executing all that 7 Vines has become. "She has a way of making everything she is a part of beautiful and the winery is no exception. Her mark will always give greater meaning to the realization of this dream."

Career fair offers job seekers face-to-face connections BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — Job seekers will have the opportunity to stand out from the paper resume crowd at a career fair at Jimmy's Event Center Oct. 5. “It is good exercise for our job seekers to get that practice and make those connections — meet an employer face to face,” said Bridgett Backman, Ramsey County Workforce Solutions manager of workforce employment services teams. Backman

works with job seekers every day who come to three job service sites in Ramsey County. She tells attendees to “dress the part” and “go there with the intent mindset that you are putting your handshake out there.” The Northeast Metro Career Connections Jobs Fair is hosted by Ramsey County Workforce Solutions, Washington County, the Minnesota Workforce Center, Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC) and Press

Publications. “We are doing it because all of our businesses have told us they have workforce shortages,” said Ling Becker, VHEDC executive director. Businesses from a variety of career sectors will be at the event, including construction, education, finance, health care, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, shipping and social services. Job seekers are invited to attend 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. free of charge.

TAXY LEVY: 51% of general fund revenue FROM PAGE 1A

The amount may not sound like much when you consider the total proposed levy is $5.6 million. But to Councilman Bill Walsh, the increase set aside for new fi re equipment is ill-timed. “We are spending $452,000 more than last year. I have been struggling with that number. The city is run efficiently and there aren't many places to cut. We could also discuss new police officers in the future. We have to stop borrowing from one fund to cover another. I am having trouble with the capital expenditure piece. I think we can wait a year on the $146,000 and keep money in people's pockets longer.” Councilman Kevin Edberg told Walsh it was “fair game to advocate a position,” but he wanted to know his rationale. “Others who vote in favor (of the levy) will look like chumps,” said the Ward 4 councilman. “You get the benefit of saying we could do less. I want to hear you make that case. It's not fair to rely on others to get the benefits and you get to say 'no.'” Walsh said he wasn't saying 'no' new taxes. “I just think we can wait a year. There are a lot of big numbers going forward over the next five years.” Edberg pointed out a chart provided by the fi nance department that listed White Bear Lake dead last in tax liability per capita among 44 cities of similar population. The city's per capita levy was $208.50. At the top was Red Wing, with a per capita levy hit of $1,300. “We are the lowest of 44 cities,” Edberg said. “How much lower can we go? The $146,000 is $5 per resident. That thinking doesn't seem very smart to me.” Rambow noted that the department also badly needs new self-contained breathing apparatus, which costs $375,000. The city did not get a grant that would have offset the expense, so now has to fi gure how to pay for the equipment. “There are some fi re equipment purchases we have been delaying,” added Richter. “We continue to look for opportunities for additional efficiencies,” she said. “The operations portion increased 1.6 percent. The other impacts on the levy were relative to capital needs.” Other things to know about the property tax levy:

• Property taxes provide 50 percent of revenues needed to run the city. • About 80 percent of the levy goes toward the general fund. Of that, — Public safety accounts for 57 percent of general fund expenditures; 42 percent is earmarked for police; 9.5 percent for fi re and 5 percent for dispatch. — Administration and fi nance accounts for 14 percent of the general fund. — Planning and code enforcement, 10 percent. • The proposed levy provides funding for dispatch operations at current levels. If a decision is made to continue providing the service, funding for additional positions could be taken from the employee expense fund. Council will consider whether to contract with the county for dispatch services at its Sept. 26 meeting (after press time). • Since 2007, the tax levy has remained relatively constant. • The economy continues to expand while infl ation remains below the Federal Reserve benchmark goal of 2 percent. • Wage earners have seen compensation increase since 2014 by 2.25 to 3 percent. • County unemployment has dropped to 3.5 percent, the lowest since 2006. • Construction permit revenue was $42 million in '16; an estimated $32 million in '17; and is estimated to be $30 million in '18. • Overall market valuation continues to recover from the 2009-2013 period of decline. So what does this mean for taxpayers? Overall, residential property values increased 6 percent over last year. Apartments increased 14 percent in value, reflecting the high demand, and commercial valuation increased 12 percent. Almost 4,300 homes, or 67 percent of White Bear’s housing stock, saw an increase of at least 10 percent in valuation; 1,300, or 22 percent of the housing stock, jumped from between 10 and 20 percent in value. Finance Director Don Rambow noted that the tax burden is shifting to properties with a faster increasing value — namely, apartments and commercial buildings. The current median-valued home in White Bear Lake is $208,400. The city's tax impact on median-value property is lower now than in 2007. In 2018, the city's share of the prop-

THE RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF’S FRIGHT FARM HAUNTED HOUSE IS CELEBRATING IT’S 21ST SEASON – The Fright Farm opens Friday, October 6, 2017, at the Ramsey County Fairgrounds Barn, 2020 White Bear Avenue. The haunted house is open every Friday & Saturday from 7:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. for the month of October, as well as Tuesday, October 31st. YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST LEAVES DIDN’T YOU – WELL THINK AGAIN – As you know, rainfall & storm water runs through streets & gutters & ends up in our lakes & streams. When the streets are lined with leaves, phosphorus is leached out of the leaves & becomes the nutrient-rich food that algae need to grow in those lakes & streams. You can make a difference by just doing a few simple things: Mulch fallen leaves into your lawn with a lawnmower Gather fallen leaves out of the street & storm drains Time your raking to just before your trash/yard waste pick-up day to minimize leaves’ time on the curb ALSO REMEMBER: Republic Services, the Township’s refuse & recycling provider, will pick-up yard waste at the curb on the day of your refuse pick-up through November 30th (weather permitting). Make sure you place leaves in compostable paper or plastic bags. OR You can transport leaves & tree waste to the Ramsey

County Compost site on Sherwood Road. Hours of operation are Monday, Wednesday & Friday 11:00 – 7:00 & Saturday 9:00 – 5:00 & Sunday 11:00 – 5:00 – Just A Reminder the Paper Compostable Bags are NOT Accepted at the County Sites if you use them to transport the yard waste you must dump them out & bring them back home. DOES YOUR WATER BILL SEEM HIGH? HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT: It was summer time. Did you have kids home from college; did you have relatives in from out of town; did you wash your car a lot. How much did I water my lawn, garden or plants? Watering a lot can cause your water consumption to rise, thereby putting your water rates in a different rate category. Please check our web site for current water rates. How many coolers did you ﬁll with ice? Doesn’t sound like much but it adds up. Do you have a leak - become a leak detective. The Township offers residents a Home Water-Saving Kit free of charge, which includes leak detection tablets to aid in detecting a toilet leak. Let’s All Conserve & Save our Water!

At $208,400, this home represents the median value in White Bear Lake. As many homes are valued below as valued above that number. In 2007, this home was valued at $224,000.

erty tax is $359. In 2007, it was $397. Taxes increased $28 or 8 percent from last year on the median-value home. Councilman Doug Biehn noted he recognized the levy increase eliminates reliance on reserves and that is good. “Committing resources to replace capital equipment is also big to me,” he said. Councilman Dan Jones agreed with Edberg. “We've sharpened our pencils. We've not done a lot in 10 years. A lot of stuff has backed up that hasn't been done. We need to start moving forward. We've lived on rations for 10 years; some things are getting behind. “When is the last time we bought a fi re truck? It's more than fi re folks wanting something new and shiny.

We've been talking about it a long time.” Jones admitted the 8 percent increase over last year was large, “but there are good solid reasons behind it.” By a 4-1 vote, with Walsh voting no, the $5.6 million 2017 preliminary tax levy, collectible in 2018, was approved. Once established, the amount can be decreased but not increased. The levy number is now certified to the county to be used in developing property tax statements mailed in late November. The Truth in Taxation meeting is Nov. 28 this year, earlier than usual. The date is meant to give residents time to study the proposed levy and offer comment before it is fi nalized at the December council meeting.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR FROM PAGE 5A

Supports ‘green’ council candidate In these days of exploitation of our natural resources, climate change denial and disdain for protection of our public lands, it’s time to act locally. We have a great opportunity to elect a new member to the City Council this November in Jeff Ledermann. Jeff is a forward-thinking, compassionate and honest person who will represent Mahtomedi well on the City Council. He is a co-founder of the Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative (MAGI), which has garnered headlines as it works to create a safe path to address the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists and people with special needs as they seek safe passage around White Bear Lake.

Jeff has been an advocate for clean energy sources to replace dirty fossil fuels, including the Zephyr wind turbine on the high school campus. I had the pleasure of working with Jeff at the Pollution Control Agency, where he worked tirelessly to start the Ecoexperience at the Minnesota State Fair, which has morphed into one of the premier environmental events in the country. Jeff’s daughter, Katie, has taken up the cause, along with three other friends, as they are currently biking across the United States in support of protecting our endangered wildlands as a result of this administration.

The Loons have been scarce as of late. We have not seen any adult Loons for several days. We suspect that they may be lake hopping and dining elsewhere as they gather for migration. Last night, we spotted several juvenile Loons fishing and diving all around White Bear Lake. Their attention to the task at hand was quite impressive. As predicted, the Eagles have had their eyes on the burgeoning Coot flocks, which appear to be in a constant state of fear and agitation. We ended the evening with another gorgeous sunset.

Zoning law passed addressing adult uses BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The White Bear Town Board addressed a missing zoning ordinance dealing with adult uses, such as an adult bookstore or adult motion picture theater, during its regular meeting Sept. 18. The town looked to nearby cities and drafted a similar ordinance so that if such an establishment were to come to White Bear Township, regulations would be in place already. “These conditions and terms are very

similar to surrounding communities,” Town Board Chair Bob Kermes said. The zoning would also be limited to a specific location near the former town hall and would not allow alcohol. During the public comment portion, a resident asked if the language would encourage or deter adult establishments from coming to the town. The town attorney answered that the language is designed to be as neutral as possible and that the language was added just to set guidelines if an adult establishment were to want to locate in White Bear Township.

In other action, the board: • Modified the TIF documentation for the expansion of the Water Gremlin facility. The company is doubling its size by adding another 72,000 square feet; therefore, an amendment to the original TIF document was required. • Reduced the tax levy by setting aside existing funds to make debt payments. • Heard from a concerned citizen who owns property on which she and others believe people to be poaching and trapping animals. • Held public hearings regarding issuance of a conditional use permit

allowing for construction of homemade furniture and to also allow indoor storage at a commercial building. However, due to a mailing error, not all residents within 350 feet were notified, so the hearing was continued until the next meeting. • Awarded a contract to Jeanetta & Sons Excavating in the amount of $41,050 for Hammond Road and White Bear Parkway storm sewer improvements. • Approved the consent agenda, which mostly consisted of right of way permits.

Lake level down, Eurasian watermilfoil up WHITE BEAR LAKE — Lake Quality Committee Chair Mike Parenteau of the White Bear Lake Conservation District reported at the Sept. 19 meeting the lake is a couple inches lower than a month ago. The reading was 922.98 feet, which is still 7.25 inches higher than last year at this time. The temperature was 68 degrees, same as last year. The Eurasian watermilfoil treatment was ineffective in some areas, Parenteau said. There may be changes in future application methods. A less expensive product was used this year, so treatment costs

came in significantly under the $43,000 budgeted. He added that more milfoil appeared later in the season but it's too late to get the permit from the Department of Natural Resources and arrange treatment. “Once the treatment is in the water, it takes about two weeks to knock the plants down,” Parenteau explained. “We only get one chance a summer because of the time it takes everything to happen.” Aquatics expert Steve McComas will attend the Oct. 17 meeting to give his annual milfoil report. The public is invited to attend. Nicknamed “the lake

doctor,” McComas “can answer any question about the lake,” according to Parenteau. It was noted at last month's meeting that both Otter and Birch lakes are covered with Eurasian watermilfoil. In other district news, Dellwood is minus one representative on the conservation board due to the resignation of Pat McCann last month. Debra Neutkens

Hurricane Harvey: 2nd-wave relief effort underway in parking lot BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Empty semitrailers are being parked at six locations around the metro, including White Bear Boat Works, in an effort to collect supplies for hurricane victims. The campaign is being led by White Bear Lake resident Jamie Ogden and two Elk River colleagues who founded the Lead Now Initiative, a nonprofit startup that partners with educators, employers, religious leaders and other organizations on various initiatives. Their goal is to “cultivate leaders today who help shape cultures of excellence for tomorrow.”

The three men started the relief effort in response to destruction caused by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in Texas, Louisiana and Florida. Items have been specifically requested by community leaders in areas most damaged by the storms. The list includes toilet paper, baby wipes, air mattresses with twin bed sheets, feminine products, cell phone chargers, generators, diapers and children's books/coloring books with crayons. Through the “Harvey Relief Initiative,” Ogden explained, families who have lost everything in the hurricanes can sign up to be sponsored by an organization.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

When Jamie Ogden, center, posted plans to help hurricane victims on social media, Jason and Angie Brown immediately offered the place to park a semitrailer. The Browns own White Bear Boat Works.

“The Lead Now Initiative will match affected families in affected areas with partner organizations to lend support for a certain number of months,” Ogden said. “These 'adopted' families will be provided encouragement and resources to rise above the conditions dealt them.” A list of recipients is already being compiled. The relief effort is gearing up for a second wave of need, added Ogden. After the supplies are driven to the hard-hit areas, they plan to send down counselors and nurses to provide assistance. “The initiative is a way to get involved,” noted the resident. “All of this came about because of people who want to be part of changing culture for the better.” The desire to pay it forward was instilled in Ogden back in his professional baseball days in the '90s. “That's part of what started a lot of this,” he said. “When you grow up with great teammates who boost you up or tell you when you're wrong, guys like Kirby Puckett, Tory Hunter, David Ortiz and Paul Molitor, how do you encapsulate that and share it with kids and organizations? These people are amazing at not just baseball but the human side of it all. Our foundation is trying to help people either become that or be affected by that. That's where the spirit of this began.” The Harvey Relief Initiative is also collaborating with the Crain Foundation, started by Jesse Crain, a former Twins player who has family in Houston. “His wife Becky saw what we were doing on Facebook and suggested we collab-

orate. They connected us with churches and schools that need help. We may even adopt a school.” Other professional athletes have sponsored the effort, including Wild player Matt Cullen and assistant coach Darby Hendrickson, who encourage people to support the program on the website. More information on the relief effort and three ways to get involved is available at www.harveyrelief.fund, or email Ogden at jamie@leadnowinitiative.com.

Ryan Carter, former Bear, retires after decade in NHL BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Ryan Carter, the White Bear Lake native whose 10-year National Hockey League career was capped by two seasons with the Minnesota Wild, has announced his retirement. “It feels official, now that camp has started,” Carter, 34, told the Mankato Free Press, which paid tribute to him Sept. 17 as one of the top three NHL products of Minnesota-State Mankato. The 6-foot-1 center played in 473 regular-season games and 46 playoff games in the NHL, logging 48 goals and 57 assists total, while suiting up with the Anaheim Ducks, Carolina Hurricanes, Florida Panthers, New Jersey Devils, and finally the Wild. Carter said he was “absolutely delighted” to cap his career skating with his home-state team, for whom he got into 113 games, contributing 10 goals and 15 assists, in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. With his contract expired, and suffering from a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Carter had to try out with the Wild for the 2016-17 season, and didn’t make the team. He had major surgery, spent months in rehab, played 18 games with the Wild’s minor-league team in Iowa, and returned in February, welcomed by coach Bruce Boudreau, to skate with the Wild in practices, just in case a spot opened up for him for the

playoffs. But that didn’t happen. Carter is one of five White Bear Lake natives to play in the NHL, joining Justin Braun, entering his sixth season with the San Jose Sharks; Bill Butters, who had two seasons with the North Stars; Brian Bonin, the Mr. Hockey and Hobey Baker winner who had brief appearances with Pittsburgh and the Wild; and the late Jeff Parker, who played parts of five seasons for Washington and Hartford. With White Bear Lake, Carter helped the Bears reach the 2001 state tourna-

ment although he injured his knee in the final shift of the section finals win over Roseville. “That injury slowed him down in the (state) tourney, and we lost to Moorhead in the first game,” said Bill Butters, the ex-NHLer who was coaching a future NHLer. Butters recalls: “He was a tremendous competitor. Great shooter. Great physical condition. Fast skater. Best player I've ever coached on winning face-offs! Very hard to play against, tough kid.” Carter, who was not drafted during his draft-eligible year (age 19), played in

the USHL for two years with Green Bay, then started his college career at age 21 at Minnesota State-Mankato. After two impressive seasons at Mankato, scoring 34 goals and making 24 assists, he caught the attention of Ducks scout David McNab, and turned pro. Just one year into his pro career, Carter experienced the thrill that eludes most NHL players in their whole careers: a Stanley Cup championship. At the end of a minor-league season at Portland, the Ducks suited him up during their playoff run that culminated with winning the 2007 Cup. He got into four games. Carter played three seasons with Anaheim, one with Carolina, and one with Florida before the Panthers waived him early in the 2011-12 season. Fortunately, he was picked up by the Devils, leading to what he calls “the best two months of my career,” meaning the 2012 playoffs. That season, he got into a career-high 65 regular season, games plus 23 in the playoffs, in which he delivered five goals (after four in the regular season). Most importantly, he played in another Stanley Cup final, with the Devils losing to the Los Angeles Kings. He stuck with the Devils for three seasons, then finished with the Wild. Carter and wife Erin have three daughters, age five, three, and one and live in Gem Lake. He is taking Minnesota State-Mankato classes online and hopes to pick up his degree within a year.

Daddy caddy and his fairway phenom, 5, on a golfing adventure BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Incubating at White Bear Yacht Club is a nice little golf story that might just become a big story someday. Elayna Brown, five years old, her mirthful brown eyes replicas of her daddy’s (and coach), drives the ball straight and true, chips with uncanny accuracy and calmly nails her putts. “She is a short-game wizard. She can almost always put the ball next to the hole, better than most adults,” said her dad, Connor Brown. “She regularly beats boys, and she’s five, going against seven year olds.” Elayna has shot as low as 46 and 44 in tournaments this summer, qualifying for some big tournaments, and earned the state Player of the Year award from U.S. Kids Golf, the leading youth golf organization in the world. “We’re hoping that by seventh grade, she will be at a high enough level to qualify for pro events (as an amateur),” said her dad, when asked if he’s envisioning places like Pebble Beach in her future. “She could be a pro golfer, or use her golf skills as a way to network and advance in another career.” Elayna has qualified for the 2018 US Kids Golf world tournament in Pinehurst, N.C., where she’ll compete in 7-and-under. Her out-of-state travels begin later this month with a tournament at Mission Hills in Palm Springs, California. She’s also set for tournaments in Florida in October and December, and possibly another in California. Connor, 27, is a quiet, gentle, encouraging coach, and Elayna clearly enjoys spending time with her daddy as much as playing. “Did you know it’s Daddy’s birthday today?” she piped up to the visiting reporter at the WBYC driving range. “Daddy, I got you a present — a REAL one, not just a card.” They’re at the WBYC course four to six times a week on the family membership of his parents Chris and Gale Brown, who live near the course. Marge Johnson, Elayna’s great-grandmother and biggest fan, says her favorite image of them is a film she took of “Connor carrying her clubs on his shoulder, and Elayna skipping alongside him.”

SUBMITTED

Elayna Brown started golfing at the age of 3. She is coached by her father Connor Brown at the White Bear Yacht Club.

Marge’s husband, Skip, owned Johnson Boat Works in White Bear Lake, founded by his grandfather. Connor works for the family business, Brown-Wilbert Inc., which provides funeral products, and lives in Roseville. He and wife Kate also have a son, Hewitt, age 2. Elayna started golfing at age three. “Golf is a great sport for kids,” Connor explained. “Golf develops character. Learning to play golf teaches kids about professional courtesy, honesty, sportsmanship and integrity.”

Tall for her age (she’s in the 99th percentile for height), Elayna is already working with her fifth set of clubs; her dad replaces them each time she outgrows them. They're not really a golfing family. Marge Johnson still plays three times a week at the WBYC, and during winters in Florida, but her own children and grandchildren didn’t play much. It skipped a couple generations. “It’s so fun for me to have a great-granddaughter playing golf with such passion,” said Johnson. “Elayna has great aptitude and love for golf. She makes all the shots and has no bad habits. She is not nervous at all. She is just out there having a good time with her ‘Daddy caddy.’” Connor, her grandson, didn’t play golf in high school. He was a tennis player, helping Mounds Park Academy win state Class A championships in 2005 and 2006 as a doubles player. He took up golf casually as a junior in high school, and plays it competently but not competitively. “I understand the game,” said Connor. “I pretty much do all her coaching.” They’ve figured things out as they go along. For instance, Elayna moves her rear foot back a few inches before driving off the tee. (Picture a baseball player striding forward before swinging; she does the opposite.) “Whatever works for her,” Connor said, adding that this improvisation stemmed from lessons on ball alignment from Greg Weston at Leadbetter Golf Academy in Florida. Elayna dresses in pink, and her golf bag is trimmed in pink. She recently started kindergarten, leaving her “a little tired” when they hit the links after school, her dad said. Along with golf, she enjoys riding a horse called Rebel on her maternal grandparents farm. Not surprisingly, she likes watching golf on TV. “Do you know who my favorite golfer is?” she asked. “Don’t tell, Daddy! I want to say it. My favorite is Michelle Wie.” Connor said he’s hoping Elayna will be a six-footer, like Wie, which appears likely, and that her golfing ability will develop along those lines, as well.

Stillwater clips Bears 26-19 in 100th gridiron clash BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

It was the 100th time White Bear Lake and Stillwater met on the football field. More important for these teams, though, was that each was seeking its fi rst win of 2017. Grabbing the elusive victory was Stillwater, 26-19, on Friday evening on the Bears’ field. In a familiar script for the Bears (0-4), they took a 19-18 lead on Dan Lyons’ second one-yard touchdown sneak of the game, late in the third period, and couldn’t hold on. They’ve had one lopsided loss and three others by a touchdown or less, scoring three TDs in each of those. “Overall as a team we played hard,” coach Ryan Bartlett said. “We gave up some size on defense

and those guys battled hard all night. I was happy how tough our kids were on defense.” The Bears missed a couple chances to pad the lead. Fidel Deleon-Paramo intercepted a pass at their own 39 but a holding penalty set them back. Lyons lofted a terrific punt that was downed on the one-foot line. With a chance for a safety, the Bears gave up a 30-yard run by Matt Crowell on fi rst down. After an exchange of punts, the Ponies regained the lead when Cooper Yeary sped 30 yards on a reverse play, and quarterback Matt Roettger ran for the conversion points. The Bears had eight minutes left but couldn’t mount a threat. Two 15-yard penalties helped along that drive. Alexander Napgezek sacked Roettger but got

penalized 15 yards for a horse-collar tackle. “I think they missed the call,” Bartlett said. “The second 15-yarder was a good call and that hurt as well, but the fi rst one is what gave their drive life. The horse collar was a really tough call. I thought it was a really well-officiated game overall, though.” In this rivalry that began in 1914, Stillwater has a 58-39-3 edge, winning 10 of the last 11, according to an article in the Stillwater Gazette. “We had a ceremony to start the game and our kids were aware of it,” Bartlett said. “It is a really cool deal when you think the fi rst meeting

was in 1914.” For the Bears, Zachary Griebel carried 12 times for 88 yards, opening the scoring with a 10-yard run. Lyons had 22 yards on 13 totes with two TDs, while completing 11 of 19 passes for 131 yards with one intercepted. Blake Charles snagged seven passes for 61 yards. Alec Akins caught a 43-yarder. Stillwater’s Crowell rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns, and the Ponies defense scored when Cody Venske picked up a fumble and ran 26 yards. The Bears will play at Woodbury (0-4) on Friday.

WHITE BEAR SPORTS Bears get 8 runners under 17 minutes, place 2nd at Mega Meet Conference rivals Stillwater and White Bear Lake finished 1-2 among 26 teams in the Class 4A division of the Milaca Mega Meet on Saturday. “We had a good day,” Bear coach Dan Kovacich assessed. “Our goal this

season was to get eight to 10 runners under 17 minutes. We are there right now. We just need to see how low they can go.” On an unseasonably hot and humid late September day, the top five were No. 3 ranked Stillwater (68), No, 8 White Bear Lake (78), No. 9 Sartell

(127), No. 7 Mounds View (177, with tie-breaker) and Hopkins (177). Roseville junior Acer Iverson was individual winner in 15:42. Ben Vanderbosch placed sixth (16:25), with Jace Bartz 14th (16:46), Mike Rohlinger 16th (16:48), Isaac Maruyama 19th (16:49) and Logan Tanttu 23rd (16:58). The spread between the Bears’ one and seven runners was just 33 seconds, noted Kovocich, alluding to the tight formation cross country teams strive for. The next two were Jacob Horvath, 24th (16:58) and Tryg Solberg 25th (16:58). Also, Max Nelson won the sophomore race, which included 400 runners, with a 16:53 time, almost a half-minute in front.

Kayla Anderson and Claire Odmark had the goals, assisted by Erika Townley and Katherine Timmons, respectively, while Ella Janicki in goal stopped five shots.

Kletti, sophomore midfielder, laced a half-volley from 25 yards out, into the top of the netting, during the first of the two five-minute extra sessions, and the Bears (5-3-3) held on to beat the Raptors (6-3) in a conference match. “We sat back and absorbed pressure, and East Ridge was not able to find another equalizer,” coach Karl Jende said, adding that Austin Carroll tracked a Raptor for 60 yards to stop a counter attack. Noah Williams had the other goal, Francois Moua led a stout midfield game and Jeremy Beckler was “outstanding” in goal, Jende said. “We played with focus and tenacity from the first whistle to the last.” The Bears started the season 4-0-3, then went 0-3-1 the next four games. They lost to Woodbury 3-1 on Tuesday.

Bear swimmers 2-1 in duals after loss to Mustangs Mounds View handed the White Bear Lake swimmers their first dual meet loss 98-86 in the Bears pool Thursday evening, winning eight of 12 events, including all three relays. Melina Hughes of the Bears won the 50 free (25.25) with Grace Johnson second. Hughes also took the butterfly (59.19) and Johnson won the 100 free (56.65). The Bears (2-1) had the top three divers in Hannah Wickstrom (178.30), Gianna McLeod and Kayla Mulder. Bruce Strand

Nothing doing: Zephyr girls keep shutting down opponents BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mahtomedi girls soccer is shaping up as a team that will shut you down and wear you out. The Zephyrs (8-2-1) have whitewashed their last five opponents, most recently a 1-0 conquest of Mounds View (9-2) on Thursday, while allowing just four goals total in 11 games. Anything that gets past Mahtomedi’s swarming defenders is usually turned away by sophomore goalie Megan Lisowy. “The more pressure Megan sees, the better she plays, and she has come up big for us in our toughest games,” coach Dave Wald said. Mahtomedi has posed seven shutouts in all, and gave up just one goal in its other four outings. The Zephyrs lost to White Bear Lake (8-2) and East Ridge (7-4), each by 1-0 and tied Woodbury 0-0. Most of their goals have come in the second half, which is no accident. “Our team’s fitness level, from their hard work in the off-season, as well as our depth — we play 18 kids regularly — has allowed us to wear teams out as games go on,” Wald said. Three-year starter Peyton Nelson,

a senior, is the defensive anchor in the middle, flanked by junior Megan Clements and sophomore Ava Vander Louw. “Peyton is cool under pressure and

a consistent tackler of the ball,” Wald said. “Megan and Ava are maybe the most skilled defenders we have had in a long time. They are good in the air and solid tacklers. (The trio) make

good decisions and are playing well as a group.” The coach added that freshmen Erika Broten, Sydney Freking and Hailey Granec are talented backups for the defensive corps. In a duel of two of the metro area’s top teams, the Zephyrs broke up a scoreless tie against Mounds View with just five minutes left as Sydney Panek scored on what her 26th-year coach called “one of the most athletic plays” he’s ever seen. Panek took over the ball on Mahtomedi’s half of the field and advanced up the side. At midfield, she sent the ball deep into the corner toward Abby Schultz, who sprinted to the ball before it got over the end line and made a crossing pass. “Somehow, Sydney had already sprinted into the box,” Wald said, “and one-timed the ball into the goal. It was the longest give-and-go I have ever seen.” The Zephyrs also had 2-0 wins last week over Cretin-Derham, with Schultz and Anna Wagner scoring, and South St. Paul, with Wagner scoring on a pass from Mickenzie Mirault while Audrey Sexson made a penalty kick that was earned by Schultz.

‘Opposite’ game, but same outcome, as Mahtomedi gridders stay undefeated Mahtomedi didn’t need a big fourth quarter, for once, to stay unbeaten in football. The Zephyrs started strong and held off St. Thomas 21-14 on Friday evening, with Brandon Anderson rushing for 144 yards and two touchdowns. After giving up the opening touchdown for the fourth straight week, the Zephyrs surgied ahead 21-6 at halftime. They were scoreless in the second half — in contrast to their fi rst three games, when they scored 62 of their 104 points in the fi nal quarters. “Yes, this one was the opposite,” coach Dave Muetzel re-

marked. “St. Thomas is a tough, physical team. They are big up front.” Anderson carried and scored on runs of 23 and five yards. Erik Bjork had a two-yard TD. Brody Larson hit six of 13 passes for 91 yards. Zach Cegielske was 3-for-3 on conversions. “Brandon ran hard, and he had Adam Olson, the fullback, blocking for him, and the guys up front played very well, against a very good defensive line,” assessed Muetzel. Ben Putney made 13 tackles, including a sack and two other for minus yardage. Bjork made 12 tackles, Sam Bell nine and

Joey Rohrer eight. Andrew Praml intercepted a pass and Ian Daugherty recovered a fumble. Joseph Deyak carried 30 times for 130 yards for St. Thomas (2-2), scoring from 23 and seven yards. His second TD came with three minutes left, and Nicholas Battenberg ran for a two-pointer, pulling the Cadets within a touchdown. But their onside kick was recovered by the Zephyrs, who then ran out the clock. Mahtomedi will play at South St. Paul (3-1) next Friday. Bruce Strand

MAHTOMEDI SPORTS Volleyballers finding their rhythm, post 2 victories A Mahtomedi volleyball team that’s “coming into our rhythm,” in their coach’s estimation, pushed above .500 by defeating Totino-Grace and Hastings last week. The Zephyrs are 5-4 after outlasting Totino-Grace 2624, 25-20, 23-25, 20-25, 15-12 in a marathon and sweeping Hastings 25-15, 25-14, 25-13. “We had to get used to playing with each other,” coach Angela Helle said. “Everyone has a role, whether on the court or ready to go in. We are beginning to play aggressive volleyball, and becoming more unified and confident in what we can accomplish this season.” Middle hitters Peyton Morrell and Megan Muetzel are finding the groove in their rookie seasons on varsity. “The pace of varsity volleyball is a lot to adjust to,” said Helle, “and they are doing very well hitting and blocking.” Also contributing to the attack are outside hitters Kendra Hansen and Josie Watkins, and right-sider Shauna Slipka. The sets come from Lauren Hall, who is “definitely a leader on the court,” said the coach. Meanwhile, Arri Ackerman, Michelle Bohnen, Maddie Kaste are supplying good passing from the back row and serving.

Zephyr kickers plug through a 1-1-1 week Mahtomedi boys soccer is 7-2-1 after logging a win, loss and tie last week. The Zephyrs beat South St. Paul 2-0, allowing just two shots on goal in their sixth shutout while Elliott James and Helio DeLa Torres notched the goals. They lost to defending state champion St. Thomas Academy 2-1 with Adam Gralinski scoring, then tied St. Paul Como Park 2-2, getting goals from DeLa Torre and Kory Pillarski.

Waiting to pay utilities with property taxes money down the drain BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — It's probably not the best way to manage household expenses. More than 100 customers of city utilities will be paying extra charges for water and sewer this year when they wait to pay for it with their 2018 property taxes. But every year they do it. “Every year this resolution is before you,” Administrative Support Specialist Patricia McGing told the Mahtomedi City Council, before she provided a report annual delinquent utility bills. On Aug. 31, the city sent out letters to 159 property owners whose utility accounts were delinquent in a total amount of $115,548.86. In the letter,

the delinquent property owners were asked to pay their bills in full, make arrangements for payment, or appear before the City Council during a public hearing on Sept. 19. As of Sept. 11, 112 delinquent accounts totaling $87,463.23 remained unpaid. As of the morning of the Sept. 19 council meeting, 106 customers remained in arrears, together owing a total of $83,000. Of those 106 customers, 28 had made arrangements or partially paid their bills. Following the public hearing, council unanimously certified the delinquent accounts to the county, according to state statutes. Persistently delinquent utility bill payers have until Nov. 15 to pay before their accounts are turned over

to the county. Any unpaid utility charges remaining after that date will be collected by the Washington County Auditor with the payable 2018 property taxes. “Is it automatic for a number of utility customers to roll over their utility payments to their property taxes every single year?” Councilman Richard Brainerd wondered. “About half the customers on the delinquent list do that,” McGing said. Councilman Joel Schilling wondered why some of the utility bills were as high as $2,300 or $3,300 and whether they were residential properties. “Most are,” McGing said. For example, a certain customer might owe $800, which is billed through

June. In October, McGing sends another bill for, let's say, $200. So now that customer owes $1,000. But they still don't pay. And now they owe $1,100 because of penalties — it keeps snowballing, she said. “The large account owing $3,300 is residential, I do know,” McGing said. Water service takes up a large part of any utility bill, Schilling said. “But $3,300 for water is a lot of water.” Because of the expense of sending out letters and placing announcements in newspapers, the city incurs costs and charges them to delinquent accounts, McGing said. The county will also charge for administrative costs, leaving customers who don't pay their bills feeling soaked.

State says expelled student should be in school BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — A student expelled until spring semester at Mahtomedi High School should be walking the halls this fall, according to the State of Minnesota. Brendan Lundell was expelled last spring for possessing and showing a BB gun on school grounds. According to a statement signed by Minnesota Department of Education Deputy Commissioner Charlene Briner in June, Brendan should have been expelled, but only through the end of last school year, as recommended by the hearing officer overseeing the case. Briner states the School Board's decision to extend the expulsion was in violation of a Minnesota statute. “Accordingly, the student's expulsion duration should be modified to the end of the 2016-17 school year, as recommended by the independent hearing officer,” Briner stated in the document. However, when the School Board addressed the issue in August, it chose to maintain the longer expulsion. Brendan's mother Carole said the School Board appealed the deputy commissioner's decision by citing a statute her attorney did not even know about. Carole said she also offered the district a settlement this summer.

“They rejected the offer of settlement,” Carole said, which included a request that the administration receive thorough training on how to manage these types of situations and that the board take racial sensitivity training. Carole said the district did not respond positively to her suggestions. She became concerned about the board when she saw a transcript of the closed meeting last spring when the board discussed for how long Brendan should be expelled. During the discussion, an unidentified male said, “Well, there's the race card too. I mean, don't forget that, I mean, you know, just because the other ones are Caucasians, they opted out. I mean they're (the Lundells) not going to opt out because it'd be more difficult for a minority kid with a frontal lobe disconnected from his brain to find other education opportunities ….” The comment may have been in reference to an earlier discussion about the three most recent cases when the district threatened expulsion and each family chose to withdraw their child from the district rather than face expulsion. Before the meeting commenced behind closed doors, Carole had addressed the board, describing her son as a normal teenager who made a bad mistake: “His frontal lobe is disconnected from the rest of his brain,” she said, in reference to scientific studies.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP PUBLIC NOTICE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 35 OF THE TOWN OF WHITE BEAR, RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA, DATED SEPTEMBER 8, 1972, AS AMENDED AND ENTITLED “ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF WHITE BEAR RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA” AND DIVIDING THE TOWN INTO DISTRICTS OR ZONES The below described amendments relating to the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of White Bear were adopted on September 18, 2017. The following summarizes the amendments to the Ordinance. Section 1. Defines various words & phrases relating to adult establishments in the Township. Section 2. Establishes a new zoning district, I-2, which identifies adult establishments. Section 3. Establishes a new zoning district, I-2, which describes the uses which are permitted by a Permitted Use Permit. Section 4. Establishes a new zoning district, I-1, which describes the uses which are allowed by a Conditional Use Permit. Section 5. Establishes the setback requirements for the newly created I-2 Zone. Section 6. Establishes the findings & purposes of the addition of the adult establishment section; outlines license procedures, fees, grounds for revocation, investigation, hearings, issuance or denials; defines ineligible persons & places; conditions of adult use principal or accessory; revocation, suspension or non-renewal. Section 7. States that if any part of this Ordinance is held to be invalid, it shall not affect the validity of the Ordinance as a whole.

The unidentified male appears to have been advocating for the shorter expulsion recommended by the hearing officer and the comment was among several reasons Brendan should be given the shorter expulsion. Other School Board members countered the male by saying Brendan could go to any school district around and that every teenage boy (has a front lobe disconnected from their brain). “I am really starting to feel like we have a very large problem in our district,” Carole said. Brendan is currently attending Mahtomedi Academy, an alternative school operated by District 916. “He is there hopefully temporarily,” Carole said. Brendan's expulsion has been controversial in the community. Brendan is an award-winning student and known outside school for his leadership roles in the St. Andrew's Lutheran Church youth group. He says he was attempting to take a friend's unloaded BB gun off campus that had been accidentally forgotten in a vehicle. However, he did not alert school officials, as required by school policy. He says he forgot he had it in his hand when he waved to another student. Vadnais Heights Editor Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

Section 8. Establishes the effective date of this Ordinance amendment.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Local baker helps create National Bakery Day

Wheel covers ready to roll

About 18 months ago, Grandma's Bakery owner John Lupo got the idea for a national bakery day. It came to him when watching customers going into Go Johnny Go Records in White Bear Lake on national Record Store Day. The master baker's brainstorm, which Lupo described as serendipitous, will reach fruition Sept. 28, the fi rst National Bakery Day. According to Lupo, Retail Bakers of America and many national companies will be sponsoring the day around the country. White Bear Lake Mayor Jo Emerson planned to proclaim bakery day at the City Council meeting

A Birchwood inventor will have a fuel-saving lineup of aerodynamic front and rear wheel covers at the North American Commercial Vehicle Show in Atlanta. Jon Fleck will be marketing his Deflector wheel covers at the show. The new technology focuses on aerodynamic shape, minimal weight and durability, noted a press release on the product. The wheel covers feature several fi nish choices: mirror chrome, painted silver, clear polycarbonate and an injected color of choice with stainless steel metal components. The design has multiple worldwide patents pending.

health and well-being: primary care, occupational therapy and massage, with specialties in family care, chronic pain management, chiropractic care and acupuncture. The facility is located at 1210 County Road J, Suite 102 in the township theater shops. Guests at the event will be treated to burger baskets from Lucy’s, snacks, drawings and chair massages. For info, see liv-on.site or call 651-207-8372.

Hurricane relief for pets Mahtomedi-based Chuck & Don's, a destination pet supplies store, is working to help the pets and families affected by the recent hurricanes. Since Sept. 1, the company and its customers have raised $40,000 for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts with 100 percent of the proceeds going to local Texas shelters Austin Pets Alive and Harris County Animal Shelter. Now through Sept. 30, Chuck & Don's will assist local shelters helping hurricane relief efforts by collecting new or gently used in-demand items such as collars, leashes, dog toys, harnesses, litter and crates. For more info, see chuckanddons.com.

Family wellness center opens Liv-On Family Care Center will hold an open house 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 30 at its new practice in White Bear Township. Owner Florence Fon offers comprehensive services to benefit family

Grandma’s Bakery made a special cake for the special day, shown with co-owner Deb Lupo.

Sept. 26, after press time, and Rep. Betty McCollum promised to read an official statement into the Congressional Record, noted Lupo. He is still awaiting word from the governor's office if a state proclamation is a go. Lupo was featured in BAKE Magazine for his efforts back in June, including a whimsical cake he baked for the special day. The bakery will feature promotional activities around the event such as “buy a loaf, give a loaf.” Every loaf of bread purchased will be matched with a donation to the food shelf. There will also be an old-fashioned cake walk at 3, 4 and 5 p.m. and donut sales. “This has really taken off around the country,” Lupo said. “It's really cool to watch.”

New location for cupcake specialist Uptown Girl Cupcakes & Dessert is now open at 5960 Hwy. 61 N. The cupcake specialists opened Sept. 5 at the new township location, located in the strip mall next to Bald Eagle Quick Stop, and is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The former location at 2208 Third St. in downtown White Bear Lake is now closed. Owner Melynda Harjes also runs a pink and yellow dessert trailer that is easy to spot at events around the area.

Legislation passes Senate to help veterans exposed to toxic burn pits WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) have announced that their bipartisan legislation to help veterans who have been exposed to toxic burn pits has passed the Senate as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. The Helping Veterans Exposed to Burn Pits Act would create a center of excellence within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to better understand the health effects associated with burn pits and treat veterans who become sick after exposure. The Press did a story last March on a 36-year-old Air National Guard member, Amie Muller, who died of pancreatic cancer she and her family attributed to exposure to toxic burn pits during two tours in Iraq.

Her mother-in-law, Sandy Muller, lives in Mahtomedi. Klobuchar testified before the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee last year to discuss the need to dedicate staff and resources to exposure diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of health conditions stemming from exposure to burn pits. “It took the government years after the Vietnam War to recognize that there was a link between Agent Orange and the devastating health effects on our soldiers. We can’t let history repeat itself — burn pits can’t become today’s Agent Orange,” Klobuchar said. “That’s why passing this bipartisan bill to support our nation’s heroes, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with their families, has remained one of my top priorities.”

The burning of waste on military bases exposed many service members to a variety of potentially harmful substances. Plastic, aerosol cans, electronic equipment, human waste, tires, and batteries were thrown into open pits, often doused with jet fuel, and set on fire. As a result, many deployed soldiers were exposed to smoke from these open-air burn pits. Health effects from exposure to chemicals found in burn pits may include cancer, neurological effects, reproductive effects, respiratory toxicity, and cardiovascular toxicity. Troops who have worked in these areas are subject to higher rates of asthma, emphysema, and rare lung disorders. Compiled from press release

The property is within the R1D single-family residential zoning district. • Approved the agreement between Water Conservation Services Inc. and both Mahtomedi and Willernie to check for leaks in the water mains. This agreement to perform a leak survey of the water systems in the two cities was a requirement of the water supply agreement signed with the city of Willernie.

SALON & SPA LOCATER Local “Dude Spa” Treats all Clients likes MVPs By Julia Arnold Contributing Writer Sport Clips Haircuts Vadnais Heights and Stillwater are part of a tightknit family business. Sisters-in-law Andrea Zimmerman and Annette Zimmerman, who married brothers, own both of them. “Some call us a Dude Spa or a modern-day barbershop,” Andrea Zimmerman explained. She described the Sport Clips signature MVP Experience as “a precision haircut by guy-smart stylists with a massaging shampoo, a hot steamed towel and a relaxing neck and shoulder massage all while watching sports on TV.” Haircuts with Heart The business owners are passionate about giving back to the community. Andrea said, “We raise money for college scholarships for our military heroes through the VFW...we have teamed up with St. Baldrick's to conquer childhood cancer and have raised money and Braved the Shave supporting local teams.” Most recently, they participated in Operation Stand Down, providing free haircuts to homeless veterans. “It was a true honor,” she noted. Every September, they partner with the Red Cross for the "Saving Lives Never Looked So Good" campaign. Anyone who donates blood or platelets in September receives an email from the Red Cross with a free haircut coupon from Sport Clips as a token of appreciation. Andrea added, “we are also involved with fundraising at schools, churches and various other events. Our military is near and dear as I am the daughter of a veteran, the wife of a veteran and a mom to three children in the military.” The Sport Clips Haircuts Vadnais Heights location is 925 E. County Road East Suite #180.
