Sports garden open for business VADNAIS HEIGHTS — The fieldhouse at TCO Sports Garden is still under construction, but the ice rinks are open. Formerly the Vadnais Sports Center, the facility was renamed TCO Sports Garden last February after Ramsey County commissioners approved a 15-year contract with Twin Cities Orthopedics (TCO) that came with naming rights. TCO committed to a $1.95 million investment in the facility, including $60,000 in 2020 and $135,000 annually through 2034. The agreement includes an option for a five-year extension. Funds will be used to assist with financing construction of the new in-
door turf facility, expected to be complete in November. The 82,000-squarefoot fieldhouse has a permanent roof structure, as opposed to the old dome, which was not repaired after collapsing in a 2018 snowstorm. The county, which has owned the complex since 2014, wants people to know a few more things about the facility: • The new logo is designed to embrace the community. The 'O' in sports signifies a ball or puck on a playing surface and the 'A' in garden is an arrow pointing north, to signify the north metro and achieving new SEE SPORTS GARDEN, PAGE 9A

Mahtomedi grad finds romance on ‘Love Island’ BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Favorite scarecrow discoveries Sarah VanTassel, Tara Johnson and Rachael Lick pose with a scarecrow outside Grandma’s Bakery during a Ladies Night Out event in downtown White Bear Lake Thursday, Sept. 24. Downtown businesses created and displayed unique scarecrows to help celebrate the start of fall.
Most people value a little privacy at the start of a new relationship, but for Mahtomedi grad Rachel Lundell, it wasn’t such a big deal to air it all on national TV. “My first day in the villa, when I was still dating, not coupled up, we were talking about what we would like our families to look like,” Lundell said. “In what world do you meet someone and you’re talking about kids?” she said. “You need to figure out what person is the best person on the island for you and go with that. You make up your own rules.” Lundell appeared on the second season of “Love Island,” a dating reality series on CBS. Though the series started in the U.K. in 2015, a U.S. version of the show was launched last year. The show challenges participants to couple up— strategically and romantically—to complete challenges and avoid being “dumped” from the island. Lundell has been a big fan of the series since it began. She
got the idea to audition when she saw a casting call poster at her gym. It was a long process, with a lot of callbacks and last-minute notices. At one point, it seemed like there wouldn’t even be a show: With the outbreak of COVID-19, the production was up in the air. When the creators got the goahead, they had to get creative to keep everyone healthy and safe. Ordinarily, “Love Island” would send its contestants to a remote beach in Fiji. Instead, the contestants gathered on an isolated luxury rooftop in Las Vegas. Inside the “Love Island” bubble, COVID-19 seemed far away. “We were the only people on set who were able to be within 6 feet of each other,” Lundell said. “You forget about COVID for sure; you don’t have that barrier. It bonds you even more. Then we would all go get tested on site, and that just snaps you back to ‘Oh yeah, the rest of the world is on lockdown. No one else is doing what we’re doing.’” SEE LOVE ISLAND, PAGE 8A

Volleyball, football get belated fall seasons in MSHSL reversal BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Football and volleyball players and coaches got the news they were hoping for last week when their fall seasons were reinstated. “I wasn’t surprised. I think we all had a feeling it was coming,” said Ryan Bartlett, White Bear Lake football coach. “We are very excited. Everyone is pumped up and happy to be playing.” “I am excited that the girls get to play, and grateful to have a season,” said Angela Helle, Mahtomedi volleyball coach. “I wish we could have fans, because that is what makes matches more exciting and fun.” Reversing a decision in early August to move football and volleyball to a spring season, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Minnesota State High School League directors voted Sept. 21 for an October/ December season for each. “This is not the season I was expecting but it’s the season I’m grateful for,” said Lizzie Nelson, Bears volleyball senior. “Having no fans will be a huge bummer because that’s one of the best things about playing varsity volleyball. We will have to adapt to a quiet gym, like we will a lot of other things under the protocol.” Following MSHSL and Minnesota Department of Health pandemic rules, crowds at outdoor events are limited to
250, and at indoor events only essential personnel. “After having our normal season postponed," said Mike Alexander, Bears volleyball coach, "I know my players are ready to hit the ground running and put together a season to remember.” It will be a football season of mostly cold-weather games. “I can’t complain,” said Brandon Berwald, senior returning as the Bears starting quarterback. “I don’t like chilly weather, but cold football is better than no football.” “Everybody is very excited to get started,” said Tony Neubeck, Zephyrs senior co-captain who plays fullback and defensive end. “I’m happy with the decision. Either way, spring or fall, it would be pretty much the same, with cold weather, shorter seasons, maybe fans and maybe not.” The MSHSL also decreed that there would be no state tournaments in any fall sport. The other sports have been operating since late August with shorter schedules and other pandemic restrictions. The schedule will include six football games and 14 volleyball games, plus an abbreviated section playoff. The directors voted 15-3 for fall football and 14-4 for fall volleyball. For each sport, practices begin Monday, Sept. 28.
The White Bear Lake volleyball season opener will be Thursday, Oct. 8, at home against Mounds View. The Bears football opener will be Friday, Oct. 9, at Stillwater. The Mahtomedi football opener will be Friday, Oct. 9, against Park in Cottage Grove. The Zephyrs volleyball opener will be Saturday, Oct. 10, at North St. Paul. The MSHSL’s reversal came on the heels of the Big Ten announcing Sept. 16 that they will start football the weekend of Oct. 23-24 rather than have the spring season they designated earlier. Another possible influence was a grassroots group called “Let Them Play” pushing for fall seasons for football and volleyball. “We heard about protests, and people upset about not having a season, and then we heard there was an emergency meeting Monday,” Berwald said. “Suddenly we’ve got two weeks to prepare for our first game … The guys have been working out and staying in shape on their own.” The Zephyrs have been playing in a 7-on-7 passing league (no tackling) at the Minnesota Vikings facility in Eagan on Saturdays, with a dozen or more players showing up each week, Neubeck said. The Bears volleyballers have been playing on different club teams, and are excited — and relieved — to be getting back together, said senior Kendra Gustafson.
“No one knew if the spring season was a guarantee, so we were all happy to hear that we will get to play.” “It’s all happening so fast. I didn’t realize that this was even a possibility,” said Nelson. “We are trying our best to get everything locked and loaded for the season.” Brian Peloquin, Bears activities director, said he’s elated to have football and volleyball back in the fall, but added, “They are both going to look very different this year from a spectator standpoint.” All home events will be livestreamed on prepspotlight.tv, he said. With COVID-19’s USA death toll recently passing 200,000, the pandemic continues to loom over sports and all other aspects of American life. “I am nervous but we'll be as safe as possible,” said Bartlett. “Football is a contact game and so that will be a change from what we’re used to. We will space out more, have smaller crowds, do less contact in practice, and so on.” He had not heard of anyone opting out, but would find out Sept. 28 when practices officially start. “There are still so many unknowns that we will have to navigate, but that has been the story of 2020, so we will roll with it,” Helle said. “We will be following COVID protocols, which will be different, but the girls adapt well.”
MAHTOMEDI SPORTS BRIEFS Mahtomedi M ht di girls i l ffall ll tto arch h rival i l ffor firstt lloss The No. 3 ranked Mahtomedi Zephyr girls were dealt their first soccer loss, 1-0, by their conference and section arch rival, Hill-Murray, on Thursday evening in Maplewood. Hill-Murray had no shots on goal until Ariadna Vargas launched one with 18:11 remaining that found the net. Their goalie Natalie Humbert made seven saves. Hill-Murray is 5-1-1 with four straight shutout wins.
M ht di is i 4-1, 4 1 and d that th t was jjustt the th second d goall Mahtomedi they’ve allowed. Mahtomedi has won three consecutive state Class A titles, beating Hill-Murray in the section finals each time. Hill-Murray beat them in the section finals the year before. The Pioneers have beaten the Zephyrs in conference two straight years. The Zephyrs tipped Henry Sibley 2-1 at home Tuesday evening. Audrey Barry, junior forward, delivered both goals in the first half. Zephyr goalie Paige Janssen stopped six of seven shots, giving one up late in the game when the ball bounced over her head. Sibley is 4-2-1.
Zephyr boys blank Sibley, lose to Hill-Murray 1-0 The Mahtomedi boys soccer team shut down Henry Sibley 3-0 on Tuesday, Sept. 22, at home, and lost at Hill-Murray 1-0 on Thursday, giving the Zephyrs a 4-2 record. Nolan Pratumwon pumped in two goals, giving him 10 for the season, and TJ Bruner notched the other goal, against Sibley (3-3-1). Jack Morrison was in goal for the Zephyrs.

Zephyr top Simley again for final 10-0 slate in MEC tennis Mahtomedi girls tennis finished 10-0 against conference rivals by fending off second-place Simley 5-2 in the Metro East tournament finals Thursday at home. The Royals beat Hastings and Hill-Murray, each 7-0, to reach the finals. All that remains is the Section 4AA tournament starting Oct. 5. The Zephyrs will likely be No. 2 seed behind defending champion Mounds View, also unbeaten. There will be no state tournament and no individuals tournaments, due to the pandemic. Mahtomedi beat Simley 6-1 in the regular season finale. Simley has won all their other matches. Simley made a couple lineup changes and won at No. 1 doubles and No. 4 singles in the rematch against the Zephyrs, who are 66-4 in matches for the season. "Simley presented a different look today, which I thought was definitely more challenging for us than what we faced the first time around,” acknowledged Zephyr coach Aaron Freer. “We are fortunate to have some good depth on our team, so even when teams try to throw us different looks, we can adjust and get the points we need to take the match." Winning for Mahtomedi were Lauren Splett, Annika Munson and Mari Meger at 1-2-3 singles, and Alayna Schwieters/Campbell Albers and Kayla Meslow/Sonya Potthoff at 2-and 3-doubles. Bruce Strand

Inside the newsroom
M
uch of 2020 has been interesting to say the least for most industries, but that is especially true in the newspaper business. At the beginning of the pandemic, I was worried there would be nothing to fi ll our papers each week. Schools were closed down, sports were not happening, events and city festivals were canceled, churches were not offering services and new businesses were not opening. In the newsroom, we had to shift our mindset and start thinking Out & about other stories we About could offer our readers. We had to fi nd a balance Shannon between too much COVID-19 news and Granholm not enough. We didn’t want to pretend that we weren’t in the middle of a pandemic, but we also wanted our products to offer an escape from the traditional news you hear and read about every day. Throughout the pandemic, we have shared many positive stories about drive-by parades, community members making masks, organizations and individuals giving back to their communities and ways businesses are adapting to serve customers. We have also had to be the bearer of bad news when it comes to deaths, businesses closing down and events being canceled. Almost all of our interviews in the newsroom are now done by phone, our meetings via Zoom and city meetings are watched online. About half of our time is spent working in the newsroom and the other half at home. I really miss running into people out and about, taking photos at city festivals and events and sitting down to do in-person interviews with people in their homes or at coffee shops and restaurants. For the past several months, I have had no problem fi nding stories that need to be told. The one thing I am struggling with is fi nding photo opportunities. A lot of the photos we take usually come from events, most of which are not happening, and within the schools, many of which have no visitor policies right now. Do you have any photo ideas? Keep in mind although we love nature photography, we also love to have people in our photos. If you have idea story ideas or know of something that may make for a great photo, as always, please email us at news@presspubs.com. Feel free to submit your photos for our Spotted Around Town section too. Despite the challenges we, and newsrooms across the nation are facing, I am so grateful that our papers continue to come out every week and that we have support from the communities we cover. As we enter our fall subscription campaign, please consider supporting your local newspaper by becoming a subscriber. We need your support now more than ever. Shannon Granholm is the Lead Editor at Press Publications.
2020 has shown us why America needs journalists
T
here is one week set aside each year to salute newspapers for the important role they have played in our nation, a role that goes back to the beginning of these United States. This year, however, waiting until Oct. 4-10 and National Newspaper Week has been difficult, because the coronavirus pandemic and a variety of major news events across our land have tested newspapers, and our communities, in ways we might never have fathomed. We have seen our lives and our communities change in dramatic ways because of coronavirus. In the early weeks, businesses closed their doors and government offices were darkened in response to directives that but the most Movers & all essential workers should remain Shakers at home to guard against spreading Randy Evans the disease. Newspapers scrambled to protect their employees, too. But newspapers still needed to be produced to serve their readers and communities and to fulfill that vital information function the Founding Fathers envisioned. Journalists quickly educated themselves on the coronavirus and shared that knowledge with readers. They kept their communities
of newspapers advocating for the public’s access to government meetings and records so citizens know what their government is doing, or not doing. This is hugely important now and long term, because government should conduct its business — really, it’s the public’s business — in open, not in secret, so citizens have the opportunity to share their views on forthcoming decisions. The important work of newspapers stretches far beyond government buildings, however. Newspapers are there to introduce readers to interesting people. They tell their communities about events that are coming up and in times of great distress — during killer hurricanes and tornadoes, horrendous floods and wildfires — newspapers step up in ways that truly can make the difference between life and death. Newspapers have done that this year, once again being the go-to source for vital details the public needs — the lists of places where people can charge their cellphones, laptops and medical equipment, the locations of shelters and meal distribution sites, and places where people can get drinking water or provide a helping hand to those in need. The immense challenges we all have dealt with this year clearly underscore the fact that America needs journalists. Randy Evans is executive director of the Iowa Freedom of Information Council. He was a newspaper reporter and editor in Iowa for 42 years.

informed — telling readers where tests were available, reporting on local test results, sharing the heartbreaking news of deaths and alerting people about employment changes at local businesses. Journalists turned to their kitchen tables, spare bedrooms and basement offices to take the place of the newsrooms where they had gathered with colleagues a few weeks earlier. While the locations changed, the core mission of newspapers did not. Newspapers have long served as “watchdogs” over government. The pandemic magnified the significance of this role because the virus closed most government offices, and meetings of school boards, city councils and county officials moved onto Zoom. Reporters have always tried to be vigilant over the way state and local governments use tax money and make decisions. But in 2020, journalists also have worked to keep up with the dynamic nature of the coronavirus testing data. They have tried to make sense of the metrics government leaders have relied upon in making decisions on mask wearing, social distancing, and back-to-school directives. The most potent tool of newspapers continues to be the spotlight. They shine it on problems that need to be addressed and on solutions that ought to be considered. They shine it on stories that are heartwarming and uplifting. At other times, they shine it on topics that might raise the blood pressure of readers. There has been a long tradition

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PAID LETTER Rogers will be effective I will be voting for Steve Rogers for Vadnais Heights City Council because — although Vadnais Heights residents have traditionally been very self-reliant in the past — I am concerned that new situations will crop up and we will need the ear of someone who truly listens to our concerns on the City Council. For instance, Vadnais Heights, Shoreview and Little Canada have all had issues in certain areas with water encroaching on people’s property. With climate change, this may become gradually more widespread or a sudden high rainfall event might occur. That’s why we need someone on the council who will pay attention to individual homeowners regarding this issue as well as other complex issues and make sure there are solid, transparent plans going forward. Steve Rogers has the people and communication skills to be an effective voice for us on the City Council. He will be responsive to residents’ needs at a time when we may find new concerns on our doorstep. Margaret Seibel Vadnais Heights
PAID LETTER Rogers and Goebel have my vote Today I had coffee with Steve Rogers and Erik Goebel, who are running for Vadnais City Council. After getting to know these gentlemen I couldn't be more excited to include them among our city's leadership. Erik told me how his experience as a scientist and a small-business owner shape his approach to governance and priorities; increased transparency, no performative politics, using predictive models for budgeting and basing decisions on data. Steve stressed the importance of asking questions, approaching decisions without personal bias or agenda and actively listening to all sides. He knows we are most efficient when articulating goals and aligning strategy to stay focused on those goals.
Steve reminded us that the American system is built on civic involvement. Both candidates describe themselves as "neighbors who love Vadnais Heights" and they want to do their part for their community. They want to keep alive the things that make Vadnais a special place to live, prune practices that could be addressed in a better way and move the city toward best practices in community engagement and governance. They're both excited to increase environmental sustainability and save money and resources by joining the GreenStep cities program. They support the work of the newly formed Community Engagement Committee to guide critical conversations about building a more safe, just and equitable community for everyone. Coming out of the pandemic, they felt that building up the vibrancy of the community could be achieved through thinking creatively about solutions and services that support local businesses, transcend divisions and encourage us all to be active community members. We talked about ideas like developing a walkable district in the city center, a community gathering space, arts and cultural programs, educational programs and events to just get to know your neighbors. These guys really seem to have their heads and their hearts in the right place. They're the kind of people I want to trust with city leadership. I'm going to be voting for the Scientist (Erik Goebel) and the Superhero (Steve Rogers) in November and suggest that you do as well. Tim Cheesebrow Vadnais Heights
PAID LETTER Vosooney knows what’s going on We have known Tony Vosooney and his family for several years, and we enthusiastically support his candidacy for the Mahtomedi District School Board. Tony is very involved in this community and has comprehensive knowledge about the issues facing our schools. He is committed to providing the best social and educational experience for our students. You can be assured that he will perform this task with integrity, an invaluable qual-
ity for such an important position. At our house, when we want to know what's going on, we always "Ask Tony.” Robert and Barbara Manning Grant
PAID LETTER Stofferahn has the right vision In our election for state Senator, I am voting for Justin Stofferahn and I hope you will too. Justin brings a real-world understanding of the challenges we face as Minnesotans, and his career has been all about public service (check out his website). His character and values represent the sane, responsible, enlightened and community-oriented approach to government that we badly need in these trying times. We also need someone with the vision and energy to help build a future that leaves us more safe, healthy and secure than we are today. Justin is that person. Amy Okaya White Bear Lake
Crosswalk a major improvement I’m writing to express my gratitude to Washington County, Mahtomedi and WSB Engineering for the new crosswalk on 244 near Aldi. Its location away from intersections permits a short crossing distance, direct eye contact with drivers and no chance of danger from multiple traffic lanes. I tried it this morning: Even without the flashing lights that will draw attention, it is a vast improvement. Some have asked why it is not located at an intersection, but of course the crosswalk is for people and bikes, not cars. In this location it connects to the trails through Wedgewood Park, the sidewalks on both sides, and serves those elderly folks who live nearby. So logical, indeed, is the mid-block location that it has been suggested for other difficult spots, such as near the Arbors community at US 61. More improvement to 244 is to come as the “turnback” process continues, and this is a great start! Steven Wolgamot Mahtomedi

LOVE ISLAND: TV show appearance brought ‘a lot of opportunities’ FROM PAGE 1A
As a longtime viewer of the show, Lundell thought she had some idea how to play to win, but all notions of strategy flew out the window when she arrived on the rooftop paradise with her cast mates. “I forgot about the game completely,” she said. “I was literally just dating on the island, hanging out with my friends. It never occurred to me that other people were playing a game. I would have regretted if I had not been 100% myself or 100% genuine. It’s not even really worth it if you win the wrong way.” Lundell’s mother, Carole Lundell, is a marriage coordinator at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi and a pastor at St. Andrew’s Village. Although she knew of Rachel’s love for the show, she was a little apprehensive when she got the news her daughter would be joining the cast. But in the end, it worked out for the best. “She showed herself to be true to herself,” Carole said. “It just kind of felt like she didn’t buy into a lot of the drama. I was proud of her. She went halfway across the country and went after something that she wanted. I think it’s incredibly brave of her to do that.” Rachel also felt the experience allowed her to learn a lot about herself. “I just turned 21; I’m highly aware I don’t know myself yet,” she said. “That’s not going to happen for a little bit, as far as dating is concerned. I learned what my type is and what

Rachel Lundell, a Mahtomedi High School graduate, recently appeared on the CBS reality TV show “Love Island.”
energy works for me as a person, what kind of relationship I’m looking for. Everyone is kind of looking for the same thing: Trust, honesty and good commu-
nication. You have to know specifically what you’re looking for and ask for it. Worst-case scenario, they say no and you saved yourself a lot of time. Just
talking to people I had a good connection with before this, I’m definitely a lot bolder.” One of Rachel’s favorite parts of being on the show was meeting the other contestants, who come from all around the nation. Carole added that the experience seemed to make Rachel more confident in herself and her ability to advocate for herself. “I think it also gave her a bit of direction,” she said. “She found out she didn’t necessarily want to do reality TV. She decided to make a go of it in modeling and felt like this gave her a bit of a launching pad. I’m just really proud of my kid. What an exciting adventure for her.” Rachel is currently in college as a business major, but she declined to say which school to preserve her privacy. She has always had an interest in modeling, and her appearance on “Love Island” has already assisted her career. “It brought me a lot of opportunities I wouldn’t have had otherwise or wouldn’t have had so quickly,” she said. Although she’s happy where she is for the moment, she envisions following a modeling career to Los Angeles or New York City sometime after this year. In the meantime, Rachel has received much attention from friends and family in her home community. “If you knew me in high school, my close friends would say ‘She loves reality TV,’ but I think it would surprise most people,” she said. “It has been really nice because people have been so sweet and so genuine and so encouraging.”
WHITE BEAR LAKE SPORTS BRIEFS Bears were missing their No. 2 runner. The Bears had 36 points, Mounds View 38 and Forest Lake 50. Ernie Mattson was held out due to a slight groin sprain. The Bears finished the regular season with a 6-1 record in four meets, losing only to Roseville Area. The top two runners were Forest Lake’s Dan Van Acker (16:34) and Mounds View’s Elliott McArthur (16:30). For the Bears, Trevor Locke was third (16:45), Ben McLaughlin fourth (17:08), Luke Williams seventh (17:18), Zach Thomas ninth (17:41) and Nate Tobec 14th (18:14) for the top five, with Mike Hoffman also finishing in 18:14. “The kids all ran really well,” said Kovacich, noting that Williams, a freshman, ran third and closed the gap on their No. 2 runner. The conference meet format during this pandemic season will be three-team races, with the top three seeds competing for the championship, on Oct. 7 at Forest Lake. Those three, Kovacich said, will likely be Roseville and two teams the Bears have not faced, Stillwater and East Ridge. “We will probably be in the 4-5-6 race with the same three teams as today,” he speculated.

White Bear boys CC nips Mounds View, finishes 6-1 The White Bear Lake boys edged an arch rival, Mounds View, by two points to win a three-team cross country meet Friday at William O’Brien State Park in St. Croix. “Mounds View is the defending state champion, but they are down a little,” said coach Dan Kovacich, nonetheless pleased with the victory, especially since the
Bear netters lose to conference’s top two teams White Bear Lake tennis lost to the top two teams in the conference to close their Suburban East schedule last week, finishing 4-5. Unbeaten champion Mounds View beat the host Bears 6-1 on Tuesday. Kaylee Zimmerman won 6-1, 6-4 at No. 4 singles for the Bears. On Thursday, the Bears lost at Woodbury 6-1. Joey Sunder and Tally Domschot took No. 3 doubles 6-4, 6-1. Maggie Blanding and Abby Franta lost at No. 1 doubles in both matches but posted a 5-4 conference record. Zimmerman is 7-2 at 4-singles, and Sunder/Domschot are 4-1 at 3-doubles. In the SEC tournament, the No. 7 seeded Bears opened Tuesday against No. 8 Park (2-7).

win two nights later, setting up a duel for the conference championship. The Bears are 7-1 and have allowed just three goals, heading into the home game against Stillwater (7-0-1) to close the regular season Tuesday evening. “We still control our own destiny,” said co-coach John Dierkhising. The Bears lost East Ridge 1-0 at home Tuesday, Sept. 22. Isabel Kothe scored in the first half for the Raptors (4-3-1). The Bears launched 23 shots, but only eight were inside the posts, all stopped by the Raptor goalie. “They scored midway through the first half after we made a poor decision to clear the ball across the front of the goal,” said Dierkhising, “and it went straight to an ER player who had a free shot on goal. There was nothing (goalie) Tristan (Lehner) could do about it. It was disappointing to give a good opponent a goal in a tough game.” At Woodbury, the Bears tallied two goals off corner kicks, scored by Cami Bachmeier in the third minute and Lauren Eckerle in the 18th, and made it 3-0 when sophomore Emma Merriman notched her first varsity goal after a long throw-in. Woodbury (5-3) scored with 10 minutes left. The Bears/Stillwater match will also decide the 1 and 2 seeds for the conference tournament which will include only the top four teams, set for Friday and Tuesday.
Bear girls CC finishes regular season unbeaten The White Bear Lake girls closed the cross country regular season unbeaten, winning a triangular on Friday at William O’Brien State Park. The Bears scored 29, Mounds View 41 and Forest Lake 55. The Bears were 6-0 in four meets against Suburban East Conference foes. Norah Hushagen of Forest Lake was first into the chute in 18:57, followed by Melanie Pankow of the Bears in 19:18. The Bears top five also include Claire Schneider in fourth place (19:57), Natalie Andres in fifth (20:34), Anna Ryan in eighth (20:40), and Lily Schneider in 10th (20:46). The conference meet format will be three-team races, with the top three seeds competing for the championship, on Oct. 7 at Forest Lake. Coach Patricia Percival said that the conference is “very deep this year” and they did not know at press time whether they would be seeded in the top three.
Bear kickers fall to East Ridge, Woodbury The White Bear Lake boys soccer had a scoreless week, losing to East Ridge 2-0 at home on Tuesday evening and to Woodbury 1-0 there Thursday evening. The Bears dropped to 2-4-2 for the season. Devin Padelford scored for Woodbury (5-2-1) in the second half. The Bears will close the regular season hosting Stillwater on Tuesday. Bruce Strand

"We’re the official sports medicine provider for three local high schools, and we support dozens of youth teams, booster clubs and other groups in the Northeast Metro throughout the year," she noted.

In 1973 Grandpa Johnstone opened Cup and Cone to drive business to Johnstone’s Dairy and Grocery Store. He purchased the old service station next door to the grocery and renovated it into the now iconic building on 4th street. According to 3rd generation owner, Rick Johnstone, his father Keith Johnstone started with one flavor (vanilla). Since then C & C has expanded to fifteen flavors, with new flavors planned to be introduced in October of this year. Through the years they tried pizza, spaghetti and other meal types, before finally settling on Submarines. “Dad sold 10 sandwiches that first day”, recalls Rick. Now they sell between 75 and 100 every day! Rick started working at the store at age 12 and remembers with fondness how they would make their candy bar malts. Back then every malt would get an entire full-size frozen candy bar. “We would take the frozen bars and a huge knife and chop them by hand for each malt”. “Snickers were the worst”, says Rick. Like so many others, this October will look very different from the first 46
years for Cup and Cone. New flavors being unveiled include: Fudge Brownie, Cookie Dough, Oreo, Cotton Candy, Coffee Espresso and California Cake Batter. Their popular S’mores items will continue through October. Their online store is open offering all products, (including ice cream), so fans may order from anywhere and pick up their favorite treats without waiting outside. Rick is proud of the store’s “Frozen 6-Pack for the WBL Food Shelf ” program, where customers have donated nearly $6,000 from March thru August 1! The program will continue this fall. For the first time ever, Cup and Cone will be open into November this year, and maybe even a “Cup and Cone Christmas 2020”!

Second generation owner T J Ricci, exhibits a sense of pride discussing the bar his parents opened in 1974. The family has been the owners of this “Cheers” style bar where everyone knows your name for most of the last 46 years. In 1996 the Ricci’s entered into an agreement with the city to lease the building, while retaining ownership of the business. According to Ricci, “things have been going very well for the past 24 years”. The original building was built in the 1870’s, as a livery stable. Shortly after prohibition ended in the early 1930’s, Fred Lenhart, a professional boxer, and fixture for years with the WBL Fire Department, purchased the building and opened Lenhart’s Bar, which he ran until 1969. It is said when the fire whistle sounded Fred would leave the patrons in charge while he ran out to help fight the fire! Ricci speaks with pride of the friendly, family atmosphere, the dedicated hardworking staff, and the family’s commitment to community. Over the years the bar has continued
to sponsor many youth sports teams, including football, hockey, softball and lacrosse. They are big supporters of the WBL Hockey Association through meat raff les and charitable gambling. Ricci feels the longevity and loyalty of their employees is due to the strong family atmosphere and a feeling that the owners “have their backs”. Longtime manager Angie Eret has been working with staff to create a Facebook page to help support other bars and restaurants in town. During the initial COVID shutdown, the bar underwent an interior renovation, with new furniture, barstools and a whole new bar and bar top. “It has really given the place a fresh look”, says Ricci. For food they offer popcorn and Heggies pizzas. The Bar is open seven days a week.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — At its Sept. 22 meeting, City Council conducted the following business via teleconference: • Approved request by Birch Lake Improvement District to assess lake property owners $306 each. The district board approved a self-imposed service charge totaling $18,972 at its annual meeting in August. The assessment is added to 2021 property taxes. Money is used to cut weeds, conduct fi sh surveys and make other water quality improvements. Mayor Jo Emerson observed that approving the resolution is an annual “favoriteâ€? on the agenda. “No one else comes in willingly to add taxes to their bill,â€? she said. • Rescheduled the truth in taxation hearing from Nov. 24 to Dec. 8. The date cannot be held before Nov. 25 by law, so the date was changed. This means the hearing will be the same night as fi nal adoption of the budget and tax levy instead of the meeting prior. • Approved assessment roll totaling $655,500 for mill and overlay project. Public Works Director Paul Kauppi showed before and after photos of streets included in this summer’s project. “Residents got a nice new surface outside their home,â€? he said. All benefiting properties received notice of the assessed amount. Residents who object to the amount were required to appeal in writing by Sept. 22. Final assessments ranging from $700 to $6,900 for 2600 County Road E are calculated per city policy established in 1983 and affi rmed by an independent property appraiser regarding benefit. Interest rate is 3.46% for 10 years for residential and 15 years for apartments and commercial properties. No one spoke during a public hearing. • Approved $360,000 assessment roll for street reconstruction project. Streets in the Cottage Park neighborhood were turned from rural to urban sections during the total reconstruction, as was Bellaire Avenue from County Road E to Orchard Lane. Assessments ranged from $2,700 to $7,000 for 4341 Cottage Park Road. Lions Park had an $11,400 assessment. Only one property owner spoke during a public hearing. The Glen Oaks Avenue resident objected to his $1,600 assessment, noting he doesn’t use Bellaire since it is in the back of his property on a steep hill. • Heard from Kauppi that the comment period for the 13-mile Bruce Vento trail master plan amendment ends Sept. 30. The county has exhausted all efforts with the railroad to continue the trail north of Hwy. 96 along the Hwy. 61 corridor, he said. Instead, the proposed route through downtown White Bear Lake will follow Bald Eagle Avenue to Bald Eagle Lake, wrap around the east side of the lake through the township and continue up to Hugo. “We’d rather have the trail constructed now instead of waiting for rail abandonment,â€? Kauppi said. Ramsey County is requesting a resolution of support for the route, which will come before council next month. • Heard Mayor Emerson proclaim October as Toastmasters Month in the city of White Bear Lake. Founded in 1924, Toastmasters International has 364,000-plus members in 145 countries. Debra Neutkens

Tips for dementia caregivers during the pandemic indicates that age is the strongest known risk factor for dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association urges dementia caregivers to follow guidelines established by the CDC as they continue to provide care for dementia patients. • Wear face masks or cloth coverings. Face masks or cloth coverings should be worn when tending to dementia patients. This includes when preparing meals for dementia patients or cleaning their homes. The CDC urges caregivers to wear personal protective equipment when providing personal or medical services to people with dementia, including when helping them bathe. • Arrange for a substitute caregiver if you are ill or exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19. Caregivers should have

a backup caregiver lined up in case they feel ill or if they are exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19 or if they have been exposed to anyone with the virus. The CDC notes that symptoms of COVID-19 include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and muscle or body aches. A full list of COVID-19 symptoms can be found at www.cdc.gov. • Wash your hands frequently. Frequent handwashing can help dementia caregivers keep their patients safe. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds upon arriving at your patient’s home, and continue to wash your hands frequently throughout the day. If visitors arrive, insist they follow the same handwashing routine. If you cough or sneeze during the day, wash
your hands immediately, and always wash hands before preparing meals. • Look for virtual programs that encourage social engagement. Virtual gatherings have become the new normal as people try to maintain connections with family and friends while respecting social distancing guidelines. The Alzheimer’s Association urges dementia caregivers to consider programs that offer virtual activities that encourage dementia patients to engage socially. Such engagement can lift patients’ spirits and remaining socially active supports brain health. Caring for dementia patients during the COVID-19 outbreak requires embracing various strategies to reduce patients’ risk of exposure to the potentially deadly virus. Submitted

Caregivers play vital roles in the lives of the people they look after. That’s especially true for people caring for dementia patients, many of whom require round-the-clock help every day. A caregiver’s role is never easy, but the demands have been even greater during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Despite social distancing guidelines and recommendations to reduce interactions with those vulnerable to COVID-19, including the elderly, dementia caregivers must continue to help patients in need. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that older adults are at the highest risk of severe illness from COVID-19. That puts dementia caregivers in difficult positions, as data from the World Health Organization
Until recently, private funds or long-term care insurance have been the only ways to ďŹ nance long-term care like skilled nursing homes, assisted living facilities or home health aides, which are not covered by traditional health insurance. However, a new option is now available. According to the online ďŹ nancial resource NerdWallet, for those concerned about the ďŹ nancial risk of buying long-term care insurance and never using it, combination long-term care/ life insurance policies may be better options. Depending on the policy, a portion of the funds can be used for long-term care that’s equal to several times the premium payments. This results in a reduced death beneďŹ t, depending on how much of the long-term care beneďŹ t was used. Some policies even guarantee a small percentage of the death beneďŹ t, even if all the money allocated for longterm care was used. The American Association of Long-Term Care Insurance said that more than 350,000 Americans purchased long-term care coverage in 2018 and roughly 84 percent of these purchases were for hybrid or combination life insurance. A much smaller percentage were traditional long-term care policies, showing the trend toward this growing insurance market. Hybrid products may have lower premiums, and they can be paid in a lump sum or over several years.
