WHITE BEAR LAKE — After more than three decades of public service, City Manager Mark Sather is calling it quits. Maureen Sather is getting her husband back. The wife of White Bear Lake's chief executive said her workaholic husband has basically been gone for 31 years. "The city has been his mistress," she said after last week's announcement in the council chambers. "It will break his heart to leave, but it's time to get some living done." Sather surprised the City Council by reading a letter addressed to them at the end of the Sept. 22 regular meeting, choking up at first as he began: "Over 31 years ago the mayor and city council of our city granted me the privilege of leading its administration. During that time I have been blessed with the greatly valued support of our elected officials, the hard work and loyalty of a highly talented and dedicated staff and the shared appreciation of our citizens' sense of community. My fondest memories have been sharing accomplishments with our residents as we have achieved common goals and visions.

I have reached the point in my career where I understand it is time to pass this privilege forward. It is time for another to lead our administration into the future and join with our elected officials and residents to ensure the continued quality of White Bear Lake. I have no doubt that our city will continue to prosper, to respect, value and serve its residents and continue to share in the leadership of our region and state. It is with this confidence that I, without regret but with satisfaction, submit my intent to retire from the job I cherish effective Dec. 11, 2015. Service to our city has been my honor and I thank you for the privilege." Following the meeting, Mayor Jo Emerson said she wasn't surprised. "We all knew it was coming, it was just a matter of when." There will be plenty of time to complete next year's budget before his departure, Sather told the council, adding he was "more than happy to help make the transition." The city manager noted he has served seven mayors and more than 25 council members during his tenure. More will come in the Press as Sather winds down his career. Maureen, who is also retired, said it was time for her husband to step down. "His grandchildren are growing up," she observed, "and they won't stop growing waiting for him."

Retiring barber cut hair for three generations by Kristine Goodrich Editor To call most of local barber Al Willette's customers loyal would be an understatement. He's trimmed the locks of three generations of the male members of several families. Thirty-five of Willette's customers have been entrusting their hairstyles to him for all of his 45 years in the business. Come next month, his loyalists will need to find a new barber. The longtime owner of Lakeshore Barbers and Stylists is calling it quits after 4.5 decades of cutting (and occasionally coloring and perming) men's hair and just over four decades of ownership of a small business. Willette said he's decided to retire while he's still young and healthy enough to fully

by Debra Neutkens Regional Editor MAHTOMEDI — The term community garden isn't just for vegetables anymore. But it does involve the sun. Several cities in Washington County are considering hitching to the community solar garden bandwagon to cut municipal energy bills. Residents, too, are hearing the pitch to subscribe to solar. At a meeting Sept. 17 co-sponsored by the Izaak Walton League, Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative, the city's Environmental Commission and the League of Women Voters White Bear Lake Area, interested residents learned about community solar gardens as a way to tap the sun's energy even if they don't have enough sun, or money, for their own panels. One solar garden developer, Able Energy Co., sent its corporate sales manager to Wildwood Library to educate potential customers on the community concept. The area's power provider, Xcel Energy, has been slow to approve solar garden developments, but Able's Jeff

Williams says they are 30 to 60 days away from getting that approval to begin construction. Customers who buy subscriptions from a solar developer like Able do not receive electricity directly from the garden but receive a credit on their Xcel Energy bill. How much the credit is depends on how many subscriptions, or shares, they have purchased. Subscribers can purchase up to 120 percent of their home's annual usage. A typical Minnesota home uses 11,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year, according to Williams. The Able representative expects solar subscribers will earn a credit of 14.7 cents for every kWh of electricity produced with rates reviewed and adjusted by the utility every year. He expects subscribers will pay about 13 cents per kWh, with a 3 percent annual increase. "We assume a 5 percent increase from Xcel," Williams said. "But we don't know. That is the risk you take. We don't think you will lose money."

celebrate at the Lakeside Club. The dinner destination was selected for sentimental reasons. It is where Kingsmen Barbers co-owner Mike Walstead took him for a lunchtime job interview in 1970. Willette still remembers exactly how he answered one of Walstead's interview questions: “How soon could you start?” Walstead inquired. “I have my tools in my car,” Willette responded. Walstead gave the Blue Earth native and new graduate of St. Paul's Brooks Barber School his first job at the Wildwood Shopping Center location of Kingsmen Barbers in Mahtomedi. Willette will never forget one mortifying moment his first week on the job. The waiting

Big changes ahead for Press readers The Press will reveal a new design on Oct. 14. The White Bear Press, Vadnais Heights Press and its affiliated papers are undergoing a transformation from a broadsheet to a tabloid size newspaper. The size of one page in a broadsheet newspaper is 11 inches wide and 23 inches long. A tabloid page is 17 inches long. The management of Press Publications believes this difference in size is a change for the better in many ways: 1. Easier to handle This size is easier to hold, easier to read and more portable. This does not mean there will be less content. We are adding pages. 2. More color The smaller page size also allows us to use our printing presses

more efficiently and gives us the potential to have more full-color pages. This will benefit both advertisers and readers. 3. Helping small business For local businesses that advertise in the Press, sometimes a small ad can get lost on a big page. A smaller page helps these same-sized ads appear larger. Not only is the size of the paper changing, so is the design of the pages. Our goal is to provide a contemporary look that is more reader friendly. These changes include new fonts and formatting. Rest assured that while the look of the paper is changing, the ownership, the staff and the content is not changing. If you have questions about the new size and design, contact Publisher Carter Johnson at ppinfo@presspubs.com or call 651-407-1200.

The White Bear Lake City Council conducted the following business at its Sept. 22 meeting: • Adopted the assessment roll for the 2015 street reconstruction project following a public hearing. Several residents complained about their assessment amount, particularly for storm sewer. Midland Avenue property owner Jim Kvitrud told council he felt the calculation was unfair. Except for his driveway, he said his property absorbs the rain that falls due to grading and a porous lawn, which he said has the same effect as rainwater gardens to reduce runoff. Residential property is assessed $0.12 cents per square foot for storm sewer improvements. In Kvitrud's case, that amounts to $2,350. City Engineer Mark Burch said the storm sewer rate is uniform for everyone and accounts for times there may be flooding. The assessment rate has been the same for years in the city, he added, reminding residents the street projects help maintain property values. Homeowner Kari Johnson also felt the $10,000 stormwater assessment for her property on Auger Avenue was excessive. Her property is two lots wide with a 100-year-old home that is rented out. She was reminded to state her objection in writing that evening, which gives a homeowner 30 days to submit a formal complaint to the city for review of the assessment.

but the owner said windows have been boarded up and measures taken. Jensen said it was then OK to delay the resolution two weeks and told Mack to work with the city's building inspector to make the property nonhazardous. Three abandoned underground gas tanks must also be removed. If the issue proceeds to abatement, the city will get a court order to condemn the property and remove the hazardous condition. Council also directed staff to look at policies regarding long-term abandonment of both commercial and residential properties. Councilman Doug Biehn said buildings should look occupied, including the abandoned gas station across the street from Mack's vacant business. • Awarded contract for a Banning Avenue parking lot trash enclosure to Rust Construction Services for $74,000. • Agreed to distribute the $9,600 approved in December to the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. • Established a fee of $25 for massage therapist and massage therapy business licenses. • Approved resolution authorizing the city manager as signing authority to authorize the police department access to the new Minnesota Government Access Accounts for electronic records and documents stored in the Minnesota court information system. — Debra Neutkens

Ramsey County Board Notes Action taken by the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 29 included: • Approved purchase of the waste management plant in Newport and agreement with Washington County to jointly own and operate the plant. The private owners were threatening to close the plant that processes garbage before it is sent to be burned for electricity at Xcel Energy plants. Ramsey County is spending $18.1 million and Washington County is contributing $6.6 million to purchase and

update the plant. • Adopted an ordinance banning smoking of e-cigarettes in and near most indoor public places. Electric smoking devices are now prohibited in the same spaces where traditional smoking is prohibited by state law, including municipal buildings and businesses. Cigarettes of all kinds also are banned within 25 feet of public buildings' doors and windows, with two exceptions: smoking pedestrians who pass by and designated outdoor restaurant and bar areas.

• Approved sale of one of the three Vadnais Sports Center outlots to a bank. People's Bank Midwest is buying a more than 31,000-square-foot parcel on the eastern edge of the sports center property and plans to build a 4,500-square-foot bank with drive-thru. The bank will pay $217,000 for the parcel and after closing and other sale costs the county's net profit is estimated at around $200,000, which will be deposited into the county's general fund. The sale is contingent on the bank receiv-

ing necessary site plan approvals from the city of Vadnais Heights. • Approved a preliminary maximum 2016 property tax levy of $284.4 million, which is a 2.8 percent increase from 2015. The board will approve a final levy and budget in December; the final levy can be lower but not higher than the preliminary amount. The proposed budget for 2016 is $641 million. — Kristine Goodrich

Burch told those attending the hearing that the city's assessments are in the lower range compared to other cities across the metro. "White Bear Lake assesses one-third the cost of street reconstruction projects to homeowners and pays the rest," he noted. "Some cities assess 100 percent of the costs." Burch added that the city now accepts credit cards for those wishing to pay assessments up front. • Adopted assessment rolls for Lake Avenue South improvements. City Manager Mark Sather informed council the city will pay its $190,000 bill out of marina revenues. • Deferred a resolution to order the razing and removal of a hazardous building. The gas station at 2502 County Road E East, abandoned since Aug. 8, 2009, is deemed hazardous and a blight on the neighborhood. Building owner Robert Mack asked the council to give him more time to look into the matter since correspondence from the city arrived only the day before the meeting. City Attorney Roger Jensen asked Mack if he had taken temporary measures to secure the building, which has been vandalized multiple times and tagged with graffiti. The furnace, water heater and all plumbing systems are damaged or vandalized and all copper wiring has been removed. A caved-in roof above a storeroom has not been repaired,

To his right are Ramsey County commissioners Victoria Reinhardt and Blake Huffman. A week after nearly 100 tykes started their classes, local leaders gathered to celebrate the opening of a new early learning center at Tamarack Nature Center. The recently completed 3,500-square-foot expansion of the county building in White Bear Township was funded by a $1.2 million grant from the state Legacy

Amendment Parks and Trails Fund. The new preschool wing includes two classrooms with kitchens and bathrooms, a parent lounge area and staff offices. Just outside the classroom doors is a new outdoor classroom area under a tree canopy. For a decade the White Bear Lake Area School Dis-

The national designation was given to 19 community colleges that “commit to improving student success and closing achievement gaps.” According to a press release from the college, Century's fall to spring semester retention rate for African-American students improved from 61.3 percent in 2012-13 to 71 percent in 2013-14. The retention rate among white students was 75.3 percent in 2012-13 and 75.5 percent in 2013-14. The press release credits the improvement to “targeted success strategies” such as its Tutors Linked to Classes program and First Year Experience workshops.

Opinion Super blood moon extra credit The kids said they PUBLISHER’S would get extra credit if we VIEW stayed up late to observe the combination supermoon and lunar eclipse last Sunday night, a rare occasion that hasn’t occurred since 1982. We found a spot on our neighbor’s lawn where we could watch it in between trees. CARTER JOHNSON The moon’s performance brought people out to enjoy the night sky. The neighborhood was alive with kids voices echoing,“Dad look!” and “Mom, when will it be orange?” Mark your calendar for the next supermoon/lunar eclipse sometime in 2033, or at least sit outside once in a while on a clear night and look at the constellations. It may not work for extra credit on any old night, but it always counts as quality family time. Curious to engage My 30-something niece, Lindsay, her husband, Paul, and their family visited from Chanhassen last weekend to celebrate the September birthdays in the family. Paul and Lindsay have three children under the age of 5, two full-time jobs that sometimes require travel, they shop on Amazon and watch Apple TV. They’re busy. Paul said they recently started subscribing to their local weekly newspaper for the first time. I asked what stories stood out. He said he read a story about a local businessman who started a microbrewery in the area. He was so interested he rode his bike to the grocery store to buy a 4-pack of the new brew. At the store they had samples and he was able to meet the young owner. We know, through research and word of mouth, that our local papers inspire our readers’ entertainment choices and shopping patterns. As your local newspaper we strive to give you hyperlocal stories on new businesses, restaurants, school and local government news, sports, features about local people, and the most complete local calendar of events every week. Our primary goal as your community newspaper is to inform you, entertain and to help you thoroughly engage in our community. Each spring and fall we seek the help of our readers to support the paper through a subscription campaign. Why pay for something you already get for free?

Vote no on charter, yes to disband There will be a special election Oct. 13 to vote on passing a charter for the city of Grant. Why? Because the majority of the court-appointed Charter Commission has decided that this must happen. It will cost the residents of Grant $6,300 for the election and $34,000 for the publication, plus unknown costs for restructuring. My fear is a majority of the voting public may not know about this election or may not vote. If this happens, a small minority of the residents will decide the issue. That is, of course, why the Charter Commission leadership chose to have the vote in October, as was admitted by Mr. Lanoux and Mr. Sederstrom on their public TV program. The Charter Commission a few months

commission over the last few years. This isn’t about Grant. It isn’t about good government, but about a minority agenda. Worse, this allows a commission to go on basically forever comprised of courtappointed people who residents don’t get to vote for. It seems that will cause multiple issues and costs now and in the future. Who is driving and supporting this charter you may ask? My opinion is that it’s mostly about power promoted largely by City Council & Charter Commission member Larry Lanoux: the power to hold special elections to limit opposition, the power to raise your taxes and the power to recall the council members who you elect. Larry stated at the Sept. 1 council meeting he wants to raise

Grant taxes 19 percent. I think this will destroy the quality of life we enjoy in Grant. Because the state Legislature has ﬁ lled in the gaps that once existed, no city in Minnesota has passed a charter in 22 years. Grant has no special feature that justiﬁes a charter. There will be a special election on Oct. 13. There will be two questions on the ballot. 1) Shall the proposed Charter be adopted? 2) Shall the Grant Charter Commission be discharged? I encourage you to vote “no” on the charter and “yes” to disband the Charter Commission to give you, the voters, the power in Grant, not the Charter Commission. — Tom Carr is the mayor of the city of Grant.

Support the charter There has been a lot of misinformation and misdirection regarding the proposed charter that comes before the citizens of Grant on Oct. 13 in an election to either approve or disapprove of the city of Grant becoming a charter city. I write this to try to clear up some of that confusion and as a Charter Commission member, try to give you thoughts on why we proposed the charter. The Charter Commission was established with the City Council resolution directing the District Court of Washington County to appoint a Charter Commission. This is pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 410. The court selected nine appointees and gave them the mission of whether or not to propose a charter. A charter is not another layer of government. It has no authority or power to initiate resolutions or ordinances. Its only duty is to draft and/ or amend the charter. All activities by the Charter Commission are voted on by the residents which have to be carried by a majority vote – 51 percent. Cities have two forms of government allowed by state statute. One is a statutory city, the other is a home rule city. Both are governed by the City Council. A statutory city follows state law in governing. Those laws are created by the Legislature. A home rule city, in addition to state laws, has a constitution (charter) that ensures citizens’ participation in the governing process and reinforces the comprehensive plan. That is exactly what this charter proposes. Based on all the testimony before the Charter

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

PAUL ROGOSHESKE Commission, one thing became crystal clear. The majority of Grant citizens want to maintain the rural character of Grant. What the charter does is establishes by the charter that Grant should remain rural and be governed by 10-acre minimums with no city-mandated sewer and water. This 10-acre minimum is currently in our comprehensive plan. The difference between the two is that the council can change the comprehensive plan by a three-to-two vote. In order to change the 10-acre minimums, if the charter were to be adopted there would have to be a vote of 51 percent of the citizens of Grant. Thus, it would be harder to move Grant toward development under the charter. The charter gives the citizens and only the citizens a vote to change the rural density of the 10-acre minimum. In addition, to maintain this rural nature, the charter mandates that the city have a planning commission. Currently our City Council abolished the Planning Commission. A planning commission is an advisory board to the city council but it has citizen participation that is important in land use planning. The Charter

Commission members felt that a planning commission would be extremely helpful in keeping the rural nature of Grant foremost in their mind and advising the City Council on all land use planning changes. Currently the City Council can vote by a three-to-two majority to approve any land use questions. The charter at least mandates that the council would have to listen to an advisory planning commission made up of citizens. The charter will not change the day-to-day governing of the city. The city will still be controlled by the council and the mayor and they will enact ordinances, ﬁ x roads, levy taxes, and do all the things that they currently do now. The charter will only change the ability of the council to allow development by a three-to-two vote. Lastly, the decision to have a special election was established by the Charter Commission to have a vote on the charter alone. In the general election there are many issues and many personalities that would interfere with the very important decision of whether we want to be a Charter Commission city (home rule). Because the vote is so important, the commission felt that this should be a stand-alone vote and not be intertwined with the politics of the general election. Don’t be confused by the rhetoric. If you have questions on the charter, please call a Charter Commission member. — Paul Rogosheske is a Charter Commission member. He can be reached at 651-261-2602.

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

Letter to the Editor

Welcome Pope Francis THE VISIT BY Pope Francis to Cuba and the United States is a very meaningful time for this humble Holy Father to share the compassionate message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our current economic policies have been a setback for the middle class and underprivileged. We incarcerate more people per capita than any other nation in the world. Violence continues on our streets and we have been a part of a disruption of millions of immigrants f leeing their homeland throughout the world. We need people of God to rise up and take leadership in every area of life, from our homes to our schools and in all levels of government. Thank you, Pope Francis, for visiting our nation and reminding us of God’s grace and handbook for life. WHILE THE POLITICAL entertainment is well underway as we approach next year’s election, I am pleased to see that there are more candidates on the Democrat side so there will be choices on both sides of the aisle. A key point from my perspective is a look at the major issues that are facing the country. The middle class has not moved up with their income. The economy is relatively f lat with the exception that our fuel prices have dropped significantly. We still have 8 million unemployed. Health care costs are climbing at rates 15 times inf lation. Longterm debt for college education is clearly growing out of reach and more people are

ABOUT THE TOWN

GENE JOHNSON on government benefit programs. I believe our foreign policy is in disarray. We pulled out of Iraq prematurely. This has helped ISIS to create an unsafe Syria. It’s tragic to see the thousands of immigrants trying to find their way into Europe. The Iran nuclear deal scares me for the sake of our children and grandchildren. This growing American voter frustration of our federal government gives way to a Washington outsider like Donald Trump. Be careful with a loose cannon in a circus. Traditionally in the U.S., small business creates the most jobs. Now with all the regulations, small business is having the toughest time surviving. Have you noticed Washington, DC is an economic enterprise unto themselves? Half of the federal government could be dismissed without harm to our security or health. They have forgotten about Main Street America. Washington policies have encouraged American industry to go overseas. It’s expensive entertainment to watch and bear. Do something about it. Ask questions, read, make phone calls—become active! Above all, know the people who are running

for public office and what they stand for, then vote! With all of that said, don’t get too excited about your choice of candidates until next March or April. A LOT OF people criticized Jesse Ventura when he was governor. He did a couple things that I appreciated. He reduced the number of the real estate categories to simplify it and make it much more equitable, but he also reduced the annual car license fee. Today the Legislature has increased those fees again and it discourages buying a new car. I know it’s a way to get extra money from those who buy new cars and from those who buy the more expensive models. However, to encourage new car buying and get the latest in emission controls and increased economies, you shouldn’t overtax buyers. The message seems to be don’t buy a new car, but buy one that’s three to five years old. IT’S FIRE PREVENTION Week. With that it’s a good idea to make sure the batteries in your smoke detectors are up to date and working. Also review your fire extinguishers. Are they the right type, in the right place and adequately charged? It is also a good time as a family to review what you would do in the event of a fire. What exits would you use? Where would you gather? Can you get the appropriate windows and doors open for escape?

Tireless worker Christine Morrison WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — On Nov. 3, the citizens who reside in the White Bear Lake Area School District have an opportunity to elect representatives for school board. Many times, we can take this for granted as a constituency and don't realize how important getting the elections right can be. I would like to encourage all residents to take a few minutes to visit your polling place and help the right candidate on election night. One of the candidates I am voting for is Leslie Sieleni. She is a tireless worker for students’ rights and needs, as well as

someone who is sensitive to the needs of our general community members and seniors. She has proven to be approachable and, by not taking endorsements, is able to make her voice heard. I have seen Leslie in action as a person who is passionate to make things happen. She sees or hears of a need and dives in wholeheartedly. Last holiday season, I had the opportunity to work with Leslie by supporting a family in need through an organization that is near and dear to her. She is a person who I want serving our school board. Vote for Leslie Sieleni: a voice for all!

Solar Garden Continued from page 1A Homeowners should see a 15 to 20 percent savings on their energy bill, he told the seminar attendees. Another way to look at it, Williams said: For every dollar spent on community solar, it should reduce a residential electric bill $1.13. Small commercial operations would see a reduction of about $1.31. There is a caveat, however: Subscribers must sign a 20- to 25-year contract. "We've done the math and that's the only way we can make them fly," Williams added. If a subscriber moves, the contract can transfer to the new owner or it can move with the subscriber as long as they're in the same or an adjoining county. If a homeowner moves out of the subscriber area, the contract ends. Commitment to green The city of Mahtomedi sees a subscription as a way to further its "commitment to green," noted City Administrator Scott Nielsen, one of the three speakers. "We are getting our feet wet on this subject," he said. "We've talked about putting solar on top of some city buildings but we see the ability to subscribe as more attractive." The Metropolitan Council is currently collaborating with cities interested in solar subscriptions through a request for proposals to garden developers. Both Mahtomedi and Hugo "signed up" through a letter of intent expressing interest in the program. Nielsen said the city included its annual kWh load for each facility in its reply and found the energy use of things like well houses and lift stations very surprising. The Met Council will rank the developer proposals and let local governments determine if the best proposal is financially favorable enough to enter into a subscription agreement. When asked if Mahtomedi had 5 unoccupied acres for a solar garden, Nielsen replied "no." Pine Springs and Grant were mentioned as possible hosting locations. Some developers are also considering putting gardens on roofs of large buildings like Century College. Williams said it's 10 to 15 percent more expensive, but feasible. Emerging solar market In 2013, the state Legislature mandated that utilities like Xcel develop a community solar program. Public utilities must dedicate a minimum of 1.5 percent of energy production into solar by 2020. A 30 percent federal tax credit to add incentive to the change expires in 2016. That has developers scrambling. A solar garden requires 4 to 5 acres of area — land or rooftop. "Some may question whether solar is viable in Minnesota," Williams said. "I like to compare us to Germany,

which is on par with the amount of sunlight Alaska gets. Germany has a huge solar-based economy. So yes, it is extremely viable in Minnesota. Cold weather actually helps solar panels produce more electricity." The sales manager described Able Energy as a rapidly growing company that specializes in solar energy systems. Based in River Falls, Wisconsin, the company has been in business five years and has done about 375 installations. Community solar is a new piece of the market, said Williams, who placed Able among the top three installers in the state. There are other solar developers coming to Minnesota to jump on the garden bandwagon, he added. Solar City from California and SunShare out of Colorado are two that specialize. The city of Hugo was approached by a company called SolarStone last spring to install a community garden on 40 acres of city-owned property. The $25 million project was withdrawn, however, when it was determined the land was too environmentally sensitive, i.e. wetlands. The proposal did stimulate discussion about regulating solar gardens, which prompted the city to begin drafting an ordinance for future projects. Like Mahtomedi, Hugo is interested in becoming a subscriber, and sent a letter of intent to the Met Council regarding subscription agreements. City Administrator Bryan Bear told the City Council Sept. 21 that 31 cities responded, amounting to 224 million watts of capacity. "Most gardens have not been built, only proposed," Bear said. "And most are not approved." Bear assured members the city is not bound to a 25-year agreement, that proposals can be rejected. He expects to bring a proposal back to staff for a vote late October or early November. Staff also continues to work with SolarStone but the company is not looking at other sites in Hugo "at this time." The interest in solar gardens is definitely heating up. "We're just waiting for Xcel to approve them," Williams said. "There are probably 400 projects waiting for the utility's approval. It's a pretty big list and will take some time to work through." Once approved, the solar developer signs a 25-year contract with Xcel. Able leaders have plans to build 15 to 20 1-megawatt gardens, Williams said. One megawatt is enough sungenerated electricity to power about 200 homes. They hope to have gardens producing electricity by January.

Barber downtown White Bear Lake off Clark Avenue. In 1970 a basic cut cost just $3 and a style was just a dollar or two more. Today he charges $20 for a basic cut or $29 for a wash, cut and dry. He saves the tips he earns for vacations. After he returns from a vacation is his busiest time, because his customers who need a cut while he's away opt to wait for him instead of going somewhere else. His record for number of haircuts in a single day is 37. Most appointments are for 15 minutes. If a client is late he usually needs to come back another day. Willette said he's always ready for his clients at the appointed time and won't accept late arrivers if it would make him late for his next appointment. Willette never learned the art of doing ladies' hair. He referred the opposite gender to other stylists in his employ. He has employed more than 60 stylists as independent contractors over the years. In its heyday he had five stylists working alongside him. Today, Lakeshore Barbers and Stylists is just he and one other stylist who soon will be moving on to another local salon. Like many other small businesses, Willette said he's struggled to compete with the rise of discount chains. While he can't compete on price, he said he offers what the chains can't: personalized service.

The Fright Farm is open every Friday & Saturday night in October – 7:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. Tickets $10 for everyone. Not recommended for persons under 12. You thought they were just leaves, well think again – As you know, rainfall and stormwater runs through streets and gutters ends up in our 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 and 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

and 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 to the Ramsey County Compost site on Sherwood Road.

Matoska Memories

Continued from page1A area filled during an afternoon rush but his chair remained empty. There was no such thing as appointments back then. Customers opted to linger for their favorite barber rather than take the open seat with a kid they didn't know. When the next man walked in, Willette worked up the nerve to ask him to his chair. The man looked at his empty chair, then the customers standing by and responded, “I think I'll wait.” He was tempted to give up but persevered. He still has his ledger that shows that he made $166 his first week and $179 his second week, plus tips. He took home three-fourths of his pre-tip earnings. In 1972 he moved to the White Bear Shopping Center location of Kingsmen Barbers. Just two years later he bought the location from the declining barber chain and changed the name to Lakeshore Barbers. It had been his plan since he entered barber school to eventually own his own business, he said. Four years later, his barber shop and much of the shopping center was destroyed by fire. For seven months while the center was being rebuilt, Willette operated out of a nearby former doctor's office. The shopping center was Willette's home up until five years ago, when he decided to downsize and update. He moved to a former salon space in

LOOKINGBACK

Retirement party All of Al Willette's former and current customers and friends are invited to a retirement celebration from 3-6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18 at The Station Pub & Event Center. His customers usually don't need to tell him how they want their cut. Willette remembers. Sometimes they need not even give their name when they call for an appointment. Willette often will recognize their voice or their number on his caller ID. When a little boy comes in for his very first haircut, he leaves with a memento: a lock of his hair affixed to a congratulatory certificate. The first haircut is free, as is the cut before regular customers' wedding days (but the latter is a one-time-only offer). Willette and his wife of 33 years have traded in their Mahtomedi house on the lake for smaller townhouses in Forest Lake and Arizona. A former customer who had retired to Green Valley, Arizona invited the Willettes for a visit and the Willettes decided to make the town their winter home as well. In a farewell letter to customers, Willette shares his contact information and asks them to keep in touch. “Yes, I am retiring as your barber, but I am not retiring our friendship,” he wrote.

White Bear Lake Post Office on south side of Third Street, ca. 1935. 1990 Imagine taking a trip to your local mini-mall for gas, groceries and the latest movie on video tape and a few periods of youth hockey at the connecting ice arena. Sound strange? Such a trip could become reality for Mahtomedi residents. At its September 25th meeting, the Mahtomedi City Council reviewed a sketch plan for a combination hockey arena and shopping mall in the new Briarcliff development. Peter Sampair, a developer and member of the Mahtomedi Hockey Association, presented the council with a revised sketch plan for a 400 seat non-profit ice arena to be added to the plan of a previously proposed mall. Sampair said the community needed the facility because local youth hockey teams are running out of places to play… 2005 “Two of the best” in White Bear Lake.

Man charged in prostitution sting A Gem Lake man is charged with engaging in prostitution with a minor. Kyle Michael Segermark, 21, was one of several men arrested and charged with a felony following a Sept. 17 sting conducted by multiple law enforcement agencies. According to the criminal complaint: Segermark responded to an ad on

backpage.com. Corresponding with an undercover agent, he agreed to pay for sex with a 15-year-old girl and a 17-yearold girl. He was arrested when he arrived at the Woodbury hotel where they agreed to meet. He reportedly admitted to responding to a backpage.com ad and told a detective that law enforcement did a good job portraying an underage girl.

Teen sentenced for criminal sexual conduct A North Oaks teen who coerced two young girls into performing sex acts on him will spend at least a year in jail. Alexander Lindeke, 18, pleaded guilty to felony criminal sexual conduct in August and was sentenced on Sept. 25. According to the criminal complaint, the then White Bear Lake Area High School senior met a 12-year-old on hotornot.com last spring, convinced her to send him an explicit photo of herself, then threatened to release the photo unless the girl and her 13-year-old friend performed oral sex on him. A judge ordered Lindeke to spend one year in jail, minus the 26 days heâ€™d already spent in jail. He also received a stayed 14-year prison sentence, which he would serve if he violates any of the

terms of his sentence. His sentence also included 20 years of probation, he must complete sex offender treatment and must register as a predatory offender. The conditions of his probation include he cannot hold any positions of authority over juveniles or vulnerable adults, he cannot loiter in areas frequented by juveniles without permission from his probation officer and he cannot visit any sexually oriented businesses, Internet sites or phone lines.

Man sentenced on prostitution charges A White Bear Lake man who was convicted of two counts of engaging in prostitution with a minor is serving jail time. In July, a jury found Michael Mark Jordan, 43, guilty of two felonies stemming from a St. Paul sex trafficking ring investigation. Jordan paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl, according to the criminal complaint. Jordan, who owns a tree-cutting business, was sentenced to 90 days in jail and five years probation. If he does not fulfill those terms he could be sent to prison.

Police partake in proposal prank White Bear Lake police officers helped a prankster propose to his girlfriend in memorable fashion. Taylor LeVasseur was getting ready for what she thought would be an anniversary dinner when her boyfriend, Gabe Nelson called with a dreadful request. He was at the police station and needed her to come bail him out, he said. When she arrived, an officer brought Nelson into the lobby in handcuffs. After making an upset Nelson fill out fake release paperwork and removing Nelson's handcuffs, officer Nathan Hook told Nelson to do one last thing before he could be released. “Get down on one knee,” Hook ordered.

It took a second before LeVasseur realized that her boyfriend had been hiding a ring in his handcuffed hands and was now holding it out to her. “Are you serious?” she asked. As Nelson nodded yes, friends and family burst out of an adjoining room cheering. It was several more seconds before a stunned LeVasseur responded with a “yes” and a kiss. Later, LeVasseur learned that friends Jesse Dean and Allie Schoen had helped her fiancé plot the engagement prank. More friends and family kept the plans secret and then heard it happen from their hiding spot. The stranger who was waiting in the

lobby when LeVasseur arrived was actually Schoen's cousin and she had slyly recorded the proposal on her phone (watch a clip at facebook.com/whitebearpress). Schoen requested a public thanks be given to Hook and the several other WBLPD officers who agreed to help pull off the caper. The newly engaged couple lives in a White Bear Lake apartment and are planning to soon buy a relative's house nearby. They first dated nearly 15 years ago but went their separate ways and reconnected a year ago. — Kristine Goodrich

Gabe Nelson and Taylor LeVasseur celebrate their engagement with WBLPD officer Nathan Hook Sept. 18.

Ramsey County Sheriff Reports The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents: WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A pilot at Benson Airport reported Sept. 17 that the propeller had been stolen off his plane sometime in the previous two weeks. • Two concrete saws reportedly were stolen sometime between Sept. 11 and 18 from two home remodeling contractors working on Hobe Lane. One of the company owners suspected an employee. He called pawn shops throughout the area and located one of the saws at a North Branch pawn shop and learned that his employee — a North Branch man, 30 — had pawned the saw. • Four students at the District 916 Bellaire Education Center were arrested or referred after separate incidents between Sept. 16 and 21. A boy, 14, reportedly harassed a classmate, assaulted a teacher, and was combative with the school resource officer Sept. 16. He was taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation and was referred to a juvenile diversion program. A girl, 14, reportedly kicked a staff member and threatened to bring a gun to school and “kill everyone” Sept. 17. She was arrested for felony terroristic threats and misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct. Also on Sept. 17, a boy, 14, reportedly threw items at and threatened a staff member. A report was referred to the county attorney for a possible misdemeanor assault charge. On Sept. 21, a boy, 14, reportedly kicked two staff members. It was referred to the county attorney for a possible misdemeanor assault charge. • A van was abandoned after it crashed into a parked pickup in the 4100 block of White Bear

Parkway the early morning of Sept. 17. A passerby reported the crash. There was blood in the van. The registered owner of the van lives nearby but didn't answer the door. The owner of the pickup was advised and the crash is under investigation. • A man via a Sept. 17 phone call reported his wallet had been stolen several weeks prior at Bellaire Beach and now someone was using his ID to pawn items. The complainant refused to provide details, which made the report-taker suspicious. The investigator checked the man's history and found he had two misdemeanor warrants. The investigator asked to meet the complainant in person but he refused. • Theft from auto was reported Sept. 17 in the 5300 block of Bald Eagle Boulevard W. • A scooter was reported stolen Sept. 21 from the 1700 block of Anderlie Lane W. It was soon after found nearby. • A garage in the 5300 block of Pheasant Court W. reportedly was burglarized overnight Sept. 20-21. Entry was gained through a dog door and two bicycles, a hockey stick and a cooler reportedly were taken. • Two occupants of a residence on Park Avenue reported they awoke on Sept. 19 to find an unknown man asleep in their house. The man awoke and refused to leave. The man, 42, admitted to the responding deputy that he was homeless. He was arrested for trespassing and disturbing the peace. • A house on Fifth Court was burglarized the evening of Sept. 22. The back door was forced open and a safe, handgun, jewelry and prescription medication reportedly were taken. The occupants suspected the culprit is somebody they know who knows that they always go out on Tuesday evenings. • Four people were arrested for felony drug possession after a deputy checked on people in the Bald

Eagle-Otter Lake Regional Park the early morning of Sept. 22. They claimed they had met there to sell and buy digital door locks. They all claimed they weren't owners of a sunglasses case the deputy spotted on the ground near them. The grass was wet with dew but the case was dry. Suspected methamphetamine and marijuana were in the case. One of the after-hours park visitors then confessed they were buying and selling drugs and a search of that man's vehicle found drug paraphernalia, two knives and a BB gun. The arrestees were a White Bear Township man, 23, a White Bear Lake woman, 28, a White Bear Lake man, 20, and a Burnsville man, 35. VADNAIS HEIGHTS • Multiple businesses in the area of County Road E reported a disorderly man who stole items and/or didn't leave when asked on Sept. 18. The Oklahoma man was given a warning. He was arrested the next day after he was found panhandling at the ramp from northbound I-35E to County Road E. • A contractor working at a residence on Lily Pond Lane reported Sept. 22 that he was bitten by one of the two shih tzu mixes that live in the home. He declined medical attention. The dogs were current on their vaccinations. • A man reportedly punched, slapped and pushed his girlfriend during an argument Sept. 21 at Highcrest Apartments. The victim's daughter witnessed the assault and called 911. The man fled and was arrested after deputies were called to another disturbance at the residence on Sept. 23. • A 1999 green Honda Civic reportedly was stolen from outside a residence in the 3400 block of Montmorency Street overnight Sept. 21-22.

Charges filed after chase causes crash The man who fled from a sheriff deputy and crashed into another vehicle Sept. 21 on County Road E has been charged with two felonies. Bradley Michael Olsen, 24, of Dresser, Wisconsin, was charged Sept. 23 with criminal vehicular operation and fleeing police. The passenger in his vehicle, a 17-year-old girl from Blaine who was seriously injured, also faces a potential drug possession charge. The criminal complaint document charging Olsen and the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office incident report provide details about the chase and crash: A deputy followed a Jeep Cherokee that had stopped for an extended period and blocked traffic at County Road D and Edgerton Street. The deputy attempted to stop the vehicle after realizing that its registration was expired and its owner (who, it was later learned, was not in the vehicle) had a revoked license. The driver fled, reaching a speed of up to 70 mph and blowing through multiple red lights and before it crashed into a vehicle at County Road E and Labore Road. The Jeep continued briefly eastbound in the westbound lane before its engine died. The driver got out and started to flee until the pursing deputy ordered him to stop at gunpoint.

He was taken into custody and then to a hospital after he reported that he had swallowed approximately 5 grams of methamphetamine. The Blaine girl was found unconscious in the vehicle. She soon after regained consciousness but was pinned in the vehicle and had to be extricated. She was taken to a hospital and diagnosed with a broken leg and ankle and bleeding in her brain. Suspected methamphetamine was found in her purse. The female driver of the vehicle that Olsen crashed into was taken to a hospital after complaining of face and back pain. Olsen was released from the hospital and

He has a lengthy criminal history, including convictions earlier in September for auto theft and fleeing police. He also had a felony drug warrant in Wisconsin. — Kristine Goodrich

Finding my roots in Norway by Gene Johnson Publisher Emeritus When our plane touched down in Oslo a few weeks ago, my eyes were watery. This was a bucket list trip to connect with my family and walk the mountainside where my grandfather was born and lived until he immigrated to Kenyon, Minnesota at age 21 in 1893. After spending a couple days in Oslo, we made our way to Bergen via rail, ferry, bus and again rail. Snowcapped mountains were still visible in August. We traveled 20 miles to Myrdal to ride the steepest standard gauge rail line in Europe. With all the switchbacks, it was picturesque and exciting. Bergen was the highlight as we met my second cousins and their four families. One of the cousins, Berit, had done an enormous amount of research and was well prepared for our visit. We had the opportunity to go to the small family farmstead on the side of a mountain near Vik on the Arnafjord. A small village nearby was Dale. In the period from 1895 to 1920 over 800,000 Norwegian immigrants came to the U.S. The country was poor.

Small farms found it difficult to feed the expanding families. Today Norway is a very wealthy country due to offshore oil drilling and exporting. They use very little oil themselves as over 90 percent of their electricity is generated by turbines driven by waterfalls. The majority of homes are heated with electricity. Most of their rail transportation is run by electricity. You hear a lot about Norway being expensive and that’s quite true. Their income tax ranges from 36 percent to 52 percent, but that provides total medical care. There is no tuition for their colleges, but room and board is not provided. Public schools do not provide lunch or breakfast and most workers bring their own lunch to their job. They begin their work day between 7 and 8 a.m. and end promptly at 4 p.m. with 30 minutes for lunch. After oil, fishing is the next major export and tourism is growing rapidly. Exports include wood pulp and aluminum. They have a sales tax and a value added tax. Their cars are taxed 100 percent. For some merchandise a portion of the value added tax is refundable for tourists at the airport when you leave the country.

Waterfalls are everywhere along the fjords and the turbines they power provide inexpensive electricity for the country.

Norway gained its independence in 1905. Over the years it had been ruled by Denmark and Sweden. During World War II Norway had a good number of resistant fighters against the Germans. Three percent of the land in Norway is farmable and most of that is in the southeast portion of the country. The southwest has the offshore oil wells and the fjords along the west and north coast. The Gulf Stream plays a major role as the entire west coast does not freeze even though portions are above the Arctic Circle. After our visits with the relatives in Bergen and enjoying traditional foods in their homes, we took one of the 11 Hurtigruten Nordkap cruise ships from Bergen to Kirkenes, above the Arctic Circle. This six-day trip on a mail boat gave us opportunities to visit small communities, have short off-ship tours and actually visit the northernmost part of the world that is inhabited, the North Cape. The latitude was 72.10 N degrees. We returned to Oslo via air from Kirkenes and began our return trip through Iceland, where we spent a couple days at Reykavik. Reflecting on our experience in Norway, we discovered most Norwegians wear a backpack and have hik-

ing shoes or boots. It’s a country of waterfalls and nearly 1,000 tunnels. Seafood is plentiful, ranging from cod to salmon, halibut, shrimp and herring. Cheeses are always abundant and the meats served are primarily lamb. Prison sentences are limited to 21 years and they work very hard at rehabilitation. Numbers of immigrants are becoming a problem but they have an extensive language learning program before they can become citizens. There are a number of subsidies and benefits for electric cars and they are growing in popularity. A new Tesla costs the same as a Volvo station wagon. The northern part of the country is primarily fishing. They dry a lot of their fish on racks for later export. Lutefisk is enjoyed there, but very rare in the south portion of the country. The quality of life in Norway ranks very high in the world, but they are dealing with growing health issues like diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Wherever you travel, the people are friendly, courteous and helpful. English is spoken everywhere.

At top, Gene Johnson met his second cousins who still have property near the farm where his grandfather lived until he immigrated to the U.S. at age 21. From left: Berit Angelic, Sissel Vallestad, Kjell Ove Hauglum, Gene Johnson and Liala Nikolaissen. At left, Gene and Kathy visited a Sami or Lapland village near the North Cape. The villagers herd 5,000 reindeer which are brought to the island by barge in the spring for grazing and swim back to the mainland in the fall for the winter months. The Sami people are nomads. At right, this church was moved from Brampton, North Dakota to Sletta, Norway to honor the 800,000 Norwegians who immigrated to the U.S. Four other buildings from around Rothesay, Minnesota were also deconstructed, packed in shipping containers and reconstructed in this Emmigrant Museum setting.

Names in News The fourth murder mystery by Vadnais Heights author Brian Lutterman will soon be released. “Windfall” is the former attorney's second novel about a paraplegic attorney. The $15 paperback is being published by Conquill Press. A launch party is noon to 2 p.m. Oct. 3 at Once Upon a Crime

Mystery Bookstore in Minneapolis. Lutterman also will sign books from 10 a.m. to noon Oct. 2 at Lake Country Booksellers in White Bear Lake. Edward Slanga of Vadnais Heights won the $46,689 Minnesota State Lottery's

Northstar Cash jackpot on Sept. 18. He purchased his winning ticket at the Gramsie Corner Mart in Shoreview. Christie Rushford of Mahtomedi received a Spirit Award from Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota. The award

honored 91 of the organization's 2,300 employees who demonstrated “outstanding commitment” to the organization's mission. Rushford works with people with disabilities as a direct support professional.

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

Sports Mountain bike race season kicks off Royals reign supreme 27-20 over Bears by Mark Aguirre Contributing Writer Following its first setback of the season the previous week, the question was how the Woodbury football team would react, and ultimately play, in its next contest against host White Bear Lake. The answer: it showed some resiliency against the Bears, and also played pretty well. It had to get past White Bear Lake 27-20 on this occasion. In doing so it improved to 5-1 and deadlocked on top the Metro East Blue Division with East Ridge (5-1). Mounds View (4-2) and Cretin-Derham Hall (4-2) are tied for third, followed by Stillwater (3-3), White Bear (1-5), Roseville (1-5) and Forest Lake (0-6). "Offensively, I thought we did a ton of good things," offered Bear head coach Ryan Bartlett. "We ran 86 plays and moved the ball the entire night. We had two big turnovers that cost us." The Bears jumped out to a 7-0 lead, and led 7-6 in the second quarter before Royal quarterback Brady Mundahl took matters into his own hands — and feet. Mundahl delivered a pair of touchdown passes, including an eight-yard bullseye to Jeremiah Codden that gave a 19-10 lead at the break. It capped a great game with a 42-yard scoring strike to Codden in the final quarter that extended the lead to 27-13. Mundahl also ran in for a three-yard score in the second quarter, finishing with 33 yards on 10 carries. He was 10for-19 passing for 217 yards. Codden snared seven Mundahl aerials for 165 yards and two touchdowns. "Defensively, we had an awful second quarter in giving up 19 points," said Bartlett. "If we converted a few big plays on offense and don't give up the three big plays on defense we would have been in great shape ... but we didn't." White Bear running back Jessiah Majest scored the first touchdown of the game from three yards out, and quarterback Carter Kaun had a two-yard scoring run to pull the Bears back to 27-20 in the final quarter. Loren Altman had a 39-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 39-yard field goal in the third quarter. Kaun was 26 for 42 passing for 171 yards with two costly interceptions. He also rushed for 50 yards and a score on 18 attempts. Rasaan Brakes caught nine passes for 58 yards. Majest had another big day running the football, with 127 yards on 20 tries. The Bears square off against rival Stillwater Friday night. The Ponies are riding high after a homecoming victory over Woodbury two weeks ago, and a 21-14 triumph on Mounds View's homecoming last week. "Offensive linemen Nate Thomas and Jim Zinter really stepped up when they were called to duty with guys injured," Bartlett said. "On defense, Nate Tessier was everywhere and Ozzie Larsen was around the ball all night. The kids are battling, playing hard and are beyond frustrated. But we'll keep going, and we still feel we can win some games."

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Season four of the Minnesota High School Mountain Bike League race season kicked off Sept. 13 with races at the Jail Trail mountain bike trails next to the St. Cloud Penitentiary, followed a week later by races in Austin. White Bear Lake’s team, though small compared to teams in other sports, had every member show up ready to go out and rip the trails. Race No. 1 at Jail Trail saw around 700 seventh through 12th

grade racers from schools around Minnesota show up on a perfect late summer day. Jail Trail features lots of twisty single-track riding, with hardly a straight stretch in the thick forest. The Bears had a solid first outing in the sophomore boys field, with Tony Callen leading the team by taking eighth of 46 racers, followed by Matt Weinberger in 11th. New racers Will Hank and Cody Harein rode well in their firstever races to finish 28th and 30th,

respectively. Seth Bickford rode to a solid 36th place. Second-year racer Adam Barth (eighth grade) was meters away from a possible top 10 finish in the middle school division when another rider cut him off, causing him to crash heavily. He quickly got up and carried his bike across the finish line to still finish in 15th of 68 riders. Rounding out the Bear racers, eighth grader and new mountain biker Lauren Carlson rode to a respectable 19th place. Race No. 2 took place at a newly built trail system in Austin that has an official name yet. Though virtually flat, the trail rode much tougher than many thought it would, turning an expected fast and easy course into a real grind at times. Several Bear riders improved from the first race, with Callen taking sixth, Weinberger taking ninth and Barth finishing in ninth place in the middle school division. The other White Bear riders finished in almost the exact places they did in the first race, not an easy task on the course. League racing resumes in Rochester Oct. 4, followed by race No. 4 at the Cayuna Lakes Mountain Bike Park near Brainerd Oct. 11. — Submitted by Mark Weinberger

Weather Discussion Weatherwise, it was quite boring but yet spectacular this past week. We had a couple of rain days on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 23-24, which totaled .58 inch. This brought our September monthly total to a whopping 5.43 inches, which is 2 inches wetter than normal. We’ve been in a southwest upper ﬂow for the past week now, and temperatures have soared to well above normal with highs this past Sunday, Sept 27, near 80°. I’m all for holding off on Fall-like temperatures. They’ll be here soon enough. We still haven’t come close to having our ﬁrst freeze or frost. My garden is still producing tomatoes. We’ll cool off a bit this week and weekend, with any chance of frost still days away. Brought to you by

In the varsity race, the Bears ran against 21 teams including squads from North Dakota and Minnesota. Head Coach Dan Kovacich was curious to see how the No. 9ranked Bears would fare against its rival, fourthranked Stillwater. In the end, No. 1-ranked Mora took top honors, with Stillwater second and the Bears third, overtaking other top-ranked teams Perham and Centennial. In the eighth-grade race the boys were fourth of 26 teams, barely placed ahead of Stillwater. First in for the Bears was Isaac

MILACA — The word “Mega” is an apt descriptor of the Milaca Mega Meet. Around 150 schools and more than 5,900 cross-country runners registered for the 2015 high school cross country meet Sept. 26 at Stone’s Throw Golf Course just outside Milaca. The little town (population 2,946) was absolutely flooded,

Karleen led the way in the Mahtomedi girls’ soccer team’s non-conference victory over Cretin-Derham Hall. The Zephyr senior forward had both goals in a 2-0 triumph over the Raiders, and also added a goal in an 8-0 conference rout of Simley.

with 10 minutes remaining in the game. Zephyr senior Joey Benning drew a foul in the box, and senior captain Logan Morrison scored the penalty kick. The Polars quickly countered with the third goal after an initial save by junior goal keeper, Will Tuttle. Later in the week the Zephyrs picked up a conference win over Tartan and a victory over St. Paul Harding. After giving up a goal to Tartan, the Zephyrs scored five unanswered goals, Morrison capped two in the first

half followed by goals from freshman Dylan L'Allier, Benning, and senior Ethan Grover in the second half. In the Harding game, Morrison scored 4 minutes into the game. Harding had an 'own goal' off a long throw in by senior Mike Osmian. Osmian finished the 3-0 win from the penalty spot after drawing a foul in the box. The Zephyrs will face HillMurray in their homecoming game on Oct 1." — Submitted by Tara Morrison

Defending the Blue Line night at the White Bear Sports Center The Twin City Steel hockey team dedicated its game on Friday, Sept. 25 to the Defending the Blue Line organization. The pre-game recognition at the White Bear Sports Center included a Marine Corps color guard and an appearance by Minnesota Wild Player Ryan Carter, who dropped the opening puck. The mission of Defending the Blue Line is to ensure that children of military members are afforded the opportunity to participate in the game of hockey by providing free equipment, summer hockey camps at no cost and grants to help with local association fees.

Zeph girls place third at Mega Meet The Mahtomedi girls'cross country crew had a great day at the Milaca Mega Meet at Stone's Throw Golf Course.

Carter hopeful that familiarity accompanies success by Dustin Nelson Contributing Writer It's been a very different summer but very familiar fall for White Bear Lake native and former Bear Ryan Carter. A contract offer didn't come to the Minnesota Wild forward in the summer of 2014, forcing the now 32 year old to take a tryout contract with the New Jersey Devils. Not until training camp was underway did a deal from the Wild bring the Minnesotan home on a one-year contract. This summer, Carter wasn't left to sit around waiting for an offer. The Wild re-signed the veteran July 1, the first day of NHL free agency and the day Carter would have been able to start talking with other clubs. This fall likely feels familiar to him, with Wild training camp containing few new faces. The team re-signed mid-season acquisition Devan Dubnyk over the summer and brought in University of Minnesota defenseman Mike Rielly, but the rest of the team looks a lot like the team fielded on opening day last year, less Matt Cooke and Kyle Brodziak. That similarity, following a second-round playoff exit at the hands of the Chicago Blackhawks for the second straight year, doesn't worry Carter. “For [management] to feel comfortable coming back to the same team they had last year, knowing that perhaps another year of experience and learning could push us over the top, is a vote of confidence,” Carter said. “That says a lot about this group of guys and what management and coaches believe we can do.” The learning isn’t just coming from the young players on the Wild’s roster. Carter enters his second year playing pro hockey in-state with a better understanding of his role on the team, he said. "I’m not going into training camp thinking I’ve got to have a good camp to get on the power play," he said. "I don’t think there’s a chance I’m going to be sniffing any power play time. Those things are out of your mind. So then you focus on the [penalty kill], making sure I’ve got all of that down from day one, because the first 2 points of the year are just as important as the last 2." Carter is excited not just due to security in his role or confidence in a lineup that achieved some success last year. The Wild plays in its first-ever outdoor game in February when the NHL's Stadi-

Ryan Carter is entering his second season with the Minnesota Wild.

“The beginning of a season, the starts are very important. If you don’t get off to a good start, it’s tough to make up ground.” – Ryan Carter, Minnesota Wild um Series comes to TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis for a chilly game between the Wild and the Blackhawks. "This is going to be great,” Carter said, recalling the first time he had the opportunity to play in an outdoor NHL game with the Devils at Yankee Stadium. “If you look in the past, Minnesota is a hockey

state. All things hockey, people remember. To be able to play in a game like this, that people will hopefully remember for a long time, is special.“ The Wild remains a team with championship aspirations. Those distractions will have to be cast aside and cast aside early, because the window won’t be open forever. “The beginning of a season, the starts are very important," he noted. "If you don’t get off to a good start, it’s tough to make up ground.” Looking back on the team’s exit last year, Carter said, “We have to realize that what got us there kind of isn’t enough. “We play our game. We play it pretty well. But in the playoffs you have to be even better than you were throughout the course of the year.” Carter isn't taking anything for granted, knowing every roster spot has to be earned and every role fulfilled with the team this year, if the Wild is going to get over the hump and make it past the second round of playoffs next spring.
