Furthermore, the DNR contends the ruling is not supported by scientific evidence, and creates precedent that could restrict development and impose new burdens on residents across the state. In her Aug. 30 verdict, Marrinan sided with the plaintiff, ruling that the DNR violated state statute by mismanaging groundwater appropriation permits near the lake, causing water levels to drop. The judge ordered the DNR to refrain from issuing new groundwater permits or increase existing permits within five miles of the lake until it has sufficient hydrologic data to understand the impact on the lake and the aquifer. She also set a protective elevation of 923.5 feet and ordered the DNR to enforce a plan to phase down per capita residential water use to 75 gallons per day. Within one year, permit holders within five miles

Rather than keep communities around White Bear Lake in suspense, the Department of Natural Resources did not wait its allotted 60 days to appeal a judge’s ruling regarding fluctuating lake levels. The agency sent the case to appellate court less than a month after the court order, announcing its decision now because “area communities are concerned with the ruling and want to know how the DNR will proceed.” In a Sept. 26 news release, the DNR stated the ruling by District Court Judge Margaret Marrinan would place unnecessary burdens on more than 500,000 White Bear Lake area residents. Important development within 5 miles of the lake would halt, stalling road construction, utility improvements and residential construction.

Producing a bountiful burst of color
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Money and manpower, or the lack thereof, finally swayed the decision to contract emergency dispatch services with Ramsey County. Technological advancements and operating protocols continue to make the 911 call center a fiscally challenging enterprise for the city, noted City Manager Ellen Richter. She presented two choices to City Council prior to the Sept. 26 vote: • Maintain the White Bear Lake dispatch center, the only independent center left in the county, at a projected cost of $5.4 million over the next five years; or • Contract with Ramsey County for dispatch services, effective May 1, 2018.

Right of way confirmed for Lake Links route Representatives of the Minnesota Department of Transportation met with officials and staff of the cities of Mahtomedi and Dellwood and presented the results of their study of the right of way pertaining to Minnesota Highway 244. Highway 244 is Mahtomedi Avenue in Mahtomedi and Dellwood Avenue in Dellwood. Interestingly, two members of the original Lake Links Planning Group from 2000-2001 were in attendance: Robert Nuffort and Jason Amberg. Amberg, a landscape architect now affi liated with WSB Engineering, was with Brauer and Associates at the time and worked on the original layout of the entire Lake Links proposal. Those in attendance included Mayor Nuffort and Deputy Mayor Jim Cuff from Dellwood and Mayor Jud Marshall and City Manager Scott Neilson from Mahtomedi. Adam Josephson, area manager for MNDOT, and members of the agency’s right of way group presented drawings of the right of way for the entire length of MN 244, from MN 120 in the southwest to MN 96 in the north. The established right
of way varies in width from 30 feet in the Chautauqua Assembly area of Mahtomedi to 66 feet in the stretch between Meadow and Ordway Streets in Dellwood. The original Lake Links plan, and current thinking, call for the use of Streetcar Trail and Briarwood Avenue in Mahtomedi to avoid the narrowest area. The latest information from MNDOT confi rms the existence of connected public land for a Lake Links route throughout the Washington County side of the project. “This information will help the engineering consultants lay out a workable route for a trail,� said Steve Wolgamot, Lake Links Association co-chair. Co-chair Mike Brooks noted, “Our concern is a safe route that meets the needs and expectations of both communities.� Engineering has also begun on the south side of the lake. Ramsey County has retained HTPO Engineering to defi ne a workable route along South Shore Boulevard. It is hoped that this process will be complete in 2017. Along the north shore, plan-
progress of the Lake Links effort is available from Mike Brooks or Steve Wolgamot or on the Lake Links website, www.Lakelinks.net.

Community foundation announces grant recipients The Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation has awarded $32,200 in grants to community groups through its Community Partners Fund. Thanks to the contributions of people in the greater White Bear Lake community, the foundation announced in late May that it would award grants to projects and programs of area organizations that align with its mission of inspiring philanthropy and enriching the lives of people who live in the communities it serves — Birchwood Village, Dellwood, Mahtomedi, White Bear Lake and White Bear Township. By the deadline of Aug. 15, the foundation’s Community Partners Fund had received 32 proposals for funding, totaling $142,211. The foundation’s grants advisory committee is chaired by board member Carol McFarlane and consists of Bryan Belisle, Beverley Driscoll, Marilyn Muellner, John Redpath and Mark Sather, all of whom recognize the contributions of area community organizations. “Their work is contributing to and enhancing quality of life for those who live and work in the greater White Bear Lake area, and we are pleased to be able to support their efforts through the founda-
tion’s grant-making program,” said McFarlane. “These programs and projects represent a wide variety of fields of interest, including serving our senior population, preserving the environment, carrying out cultural and historical activities, caring for those in need, and providing educational opportunities.” Based on the committee's recommendations, the board approved awards to 20 programs. “We are grateful to have had $32,200 to invest in these projects,” stated McFarlane, “but this only makes a small dent in the need.” The foundation, incorporated in March 2015, hopes to continue with a second grant round in 2018 and encourages community residents who would like to support local organizations to contribute to the Community Partners Fund by donating through the foundation’s website, www.greaterwblfoundation.org. For more information on the fund, contact the foundation’s executive director, Jackie Reis, at jackier@greaterwblfoundation.org or 651-408-5412.

Twice a year we look to our readers to support the paper with a subscription. Many of you have asked why would you purchase a subscription when the paper is delivered for free? The simple answer is that we need you. Fewer than 20 percent of our readers support the paper with a subscription — we rely heavily on the support of our advertisers to keep the available to everyone. Publisher’s paper Most newspapers in small communities depend on a 100 View percent subscriber rate. For us Carter Johnson to be sustainable, we need a 30 percent subscription rate. We need your support to produce the highest quality local news and information and deliver it to your home each week. I can see why people think that news is free. I receive alerts and pop-ups of news clips online from all sorts of apps and Google. Most of this information is designed to lure you in or entice you to click to their site. Much of the information that looks like fresh content is aggregated from other news sources. More than ever, large media institutions are aggregating their news; that is, collecting content that was written by others, including us. If every news organization moved toward aggregating the news, who would be left to produce it? Each week our team of editors and reporters cover fi rst-hand stories by attending city council meetings, planning meetings and school board meetings. We are content generators. We produce hyper-local news and information that matters to you and affects your life. Our journalists are often the only ones left in the room at late night meetings, condensing 3 to 4 hours of information and reporting on it in a few paragraphs to save you the time and effort of going to a meeting. Every story in our paper takes considerable amounts of energy every single week to produce. There are interviews, follow-up calls, and photos, followed by the task of writing it in a way that is easy for the reader to digest. Then layout, proofi ng and editing it before it gets sent to be printed and fi nally distributed to households throughout our community. We do all of this while adhering to the highest journalistic standards and ethics. If you have read even one story in the past year that informed you, entertained you, helped you make a decision, or saved you from attending a long meeting, I am asking for your paid subscription.

Armed with information on mental illness
T
his week is Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW). It’s a time to bring mental illnesses out into the open — to talk about the signs and symptoms and what to do. Mental illnesses affect 1 in 5 people from all walks of life. Some of the more common symptoms are being overly emotional, being angry or sad, having difficulty concentrating or screening out stimuli, changMovers and es in sleep or habits Shakers eating and also physical problems such Sue as headaches, Abderholden stomach aches, racing heart or back pain. There are also very serious symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions. As with any health condition, early identification and treatment is the key to good outcomes. Many people don’t know what to do if they are concerned about an emerging mental illness.
“We need the help of a friend, mentor or mental health professional to keep them from having an oversized, negative influence on our daily lives and happiness.” Starting with your primary care provider is a good step in order to rule out other health care conditions such as thyroid problems. If it’s a child, check with your school to see if there is a school-linked mental health program. You can also call the back of your insurance care to ask for help on who is in your network that is taking new patients. Since we are in the process of building our mental health system, there are often long wait times – but don’t give up. If the situation is reaching a crisis point, know that every county has a mental health crisis line and mobile crisis team – they can help.
Arm yourself with information. There are fact sheets and booklets on the NAMI Minnesota website along with a listing of free educational classes and peer led support groups. Knowing what to do and how to help along with not being alone on this journey is important. Lastly, if you know someone who is struggling with their mental health — reach out to them. Take a walk, bring a meal, or invite them to see a movie with you. Don’t end the friendship — beef it up. You don’t need to provide advice or solve problems, just be there for that person. All our families will likely be affected by mental illnesses at some point in time. Let’s make our communities accepting and let’s us as individuals give a helping hand.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Proud to back Bears I grew up in small-town, rural Minnesota. My hometown had one stop light, one public school and one grocery store. Whether it was a homecoming football game, a school play, a band concert or a science fair, you'd find residents of all ages coming out to support the young people. I'm proud to say that 25 years later, the residents of my hometown still understand that the school is the center of a thriving community. When you make a commitment to stand by your young people, you keep your community alive. When my husband and I moved to White Bear Lake 20 years ago, we were thrilled to find the very same experience. We see our neighbors of all ages coming out to school events to support our young people. We feel our district is an excellent steward of our tax dollars; they are prudent, transparent and are able to stretch their budget far and wide. When Standard & Poor's gives our schools an AA (or higher) bond rating every year, we recognize the sound investment we are making in our local schools. We know that investment will pay dividends for generations to come and we are proud to back our Bears. Jill Christianson White Bear Lake
High school students sleep deprived I think that the issue of school start times needs to be brought up in the paper. I am 14 years old in my first year of high school, but this problem is too big just to be ignored. North Campus High School begins at 7:30 in the morning, which is just far too early. For starters, I have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning after a long night of homework, and it doesn't help that my teachers aren't giving us much of a period to work either, especially after being sick. For instance, I was sick for a whole school week and was given all of my homework with a due date of tomorrow, or the day after that, which has left me up to 10:30 p.m. without it all being my best work and nowhere near completion. Along with the fact of late nights working on homework, there are significant problems with needing to be at school at 7:30, the main one being traffic hazards. I bike to school and just this morning I was nearly hit by a bus all because my half-awake brain wasn't able to comprehend the situation. This isn't even the first time this has happened either, and if that wasn't bad enough, when I get to school I and many others can't concentrate because of our massive sleep deprivation. School start times this early are just too big of an academic drain to be ignored. Aidan Herrera White Bear Lake
Candidate has heart for service Good to see Jeff Ledermann stepping up to run for Mahtomedi City Council. Jeff has a long list of volunteer work over many years to enhance our community and keep it one of the best places to live in Minnesota, and make it even better. He’s served our schools on various committees, and organized students to plant native prairie plants on school property. He started the Fishing Daughters Club for dads and daughters to bond while learning how to catch fish and protect habitat. He co-founded the Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative, which brought the Zephyr Wind Turbine to MHS, among other accomplishments. Jeff has served St. Andrew’s church in several capacities and with wife Pam fledged two remarkable daughters into citizen leaders. He has a heart for service and deserves your vote this November. Paul Hoff Grant
Supports change to school start times For well over a year now, the Mahtomedi School Board and district have been carefully and comprehensively considering a change to the school start times. The proposed change would start the middle and high school kids later and the elementary children earlier, the opposite of what we currently do. I would like to publicly support this change. There are multiple scientific studies that cite more sleep for adolescents and teenagers is of critical importance to their well-being. The data shows that older kids cannot just “shut down their brains” and go to sleep earlier (even if they put away their phones and went to bed earlier!); it’s physically not possible. The data also supports that younger children naturally wake up earlier than teenagers and do their best learning earlier in the morning. A change would benefit all children. Many districts have already recognized this important data and implemented change (Edina, Wayzata …). These districts show improved academic performance, improved student mental and physical health and, perhaps surprisingly, improved athletic performance. Change of any kind is challenging. We, as parents, will have to make some modifications to our routines — teachers and coaches will need to do the same. But we know it can be done. Many districts have proven this and Mahtomedi successfully changed school start times just over a decade ago. Many of us moved here because of the excellent
school district that truly puts our children first. Let’s support this change — our kids deserve it. Renee Leinbach Whitehead Mahtomedi
Support school levy renewal Sandy and I are proud of our community. Having grown up here and raising our three boys in the hometown we love, we are so grateful for the education we have all received from the White Bear Lake Schools. Our kids have had the opportunity to study Chinese, earn college credits through the College in the Schools (CIS) offerings and AP classes, and participate in many high-quality extracurricular activities. The school district management team has been fiscally responsible and judicious with our tax dollars. We have a very diverse school district that has prepared our kids to be good citizens. It is for these reasons we will be supporting the levy referendum renewal this fall and we encourage you to join us. Greg Bartz White Bear Lake
Hard-working school board candidate It is my pleasure to encourage support of Jill Engwer for the White Bear Lake Area School Board. Having worked alongside Jill for several years as Birch Lake Elementary School PTA officers, I observed her hard-working commitment to the kids, families, and teachers. I’ve seen her be a bridge-builder while maintaining a professional, yet easygoing demeanor. She consistently demonstrated a do-what-it-takes attitude and servant-hearted approach. Putting herself in the shoes of whomever she was serving was paramount to her. I often heard, "If it were me ...", and she would express her desire to handle something in the same manner as she would wish someone would do for her. Because Jill has children in multiple schools in the district, she has a strong pulse on district dynamics. Her motivation for involvement at a districtwide level is simply reflective of her character: she cares deeply for others. Not only is she passionate about ensuring the well-being and quality of education for her own kids, but I've seen this naturally spill over into serving others in her sphere of influence. Sitting on the sidelines or accepting the status quo are not character traits that describe Jill. Her collaborative and servant-leadership style will bring good things to the table in our district. As an advocate for students, teachers and families, I know Jill would continue to have a positive impact on our White Bear Lake community as a school board member. I encourage your vote for Jill Engwer this November. Casandra Carlson White Bear Lake
Expertise to be responsible steward I’m writing to support Colin Johnson for Mahtomedi City Council. Colin and his wife, Kim, have three Zephyr student-athletes in Mahtomedi schools. Colin has a passion for service, previously serving as a JAG officer in the United States Army and receiving a Bronze Star for his service during a yearlong deployment in Iraq. Currently serving on the Mahtomedi Finance Commission, Colin has the experience and expertise to be a responsible steward of the city’s finances. He understands not only the nature of the hardworking residents of Mahtomedi, but the true value of the tax dollars coming into the city and wants those dollars to go as far as possible. Colin recognizes the challenges that Mahtomedi faces, from maintenance on the city’s aging water and sewer systems to staying within budget on the capital improvement plan — all the while not adding to the tax burden of Mahtomedi residents. Colin’s background puts him in a unique position to tackle the issues we will be facing. From Colin’s service in the military, to his career as an attorney and his appointment to the Mahtomedi Finance Commission – the choice is clear on Nov. 7. Colin is the number one candidate for fiscal responsibility and accountable public policy for Mahtomedi. Jane Cartwright Mahtomedi
Candidate experienced community leader We are happy to see the Vote 4 Jeff signs appearing throughout Mahtomedi. Jeff Ledermann is an experienced community leader, an active volunteer, and a professional planner and educator who listens and turns ideas into actions and results. We have known him for nearly 20 years and have seen his work and vision directly benefit our city and our schools and think it well qualifies him for a spot on the City Council. We have seen Jeff’s no-nonsense approach to solving problems firsthand many times. He is a co-founder of the Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative and led the project to install the wind turbine at the high school. He was a member of ISD 832 Facilities Task Force and
Wildwood Elementary School Design Team. We have watched as he rolled up his sleeves and raised funds to maintain and plant trees along the cross-country running and Nordic ski trails on the school grounds, as well as collaborate with the school district’s Facilities Department to ensure the trails are always ready for use. For years, Jeff volunteered his time as the high school Eco Club advisor and he never hesitates to spend his weekends pulling buckthorn or clearing trails. Our community, schools and many students have benefitted greatly from his tireless efforts and his vision for a better Mahtomedi. We enthusiastically lend our support to his campaign to bring his leadership and vision to the City Council. Margie and Dorian Grilley Mahtomedi
Remember to fill the trailer I'd like to remind everyone to fill the trailer at White Bear Boat Works for Hurricane Harvey victims.

Asset to Mahtomedi City Council I am writing in support of Jeff Ledermann and his bid to become a Mahtomedi City Council member. I have known Jeff for 10 years through our work on the Environmental Stewardship Team at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church. Jeff was a co-founder of the team. He is an engaged, innovative thinker who strives to improve the communities he lives and works in. When considering issues, he balances high ideals with a thoughtful and realistic approach. Jeff and his family moved to Mahtomedi in 2000 and he and his wife, Pam, raised their two girls here. Jeff Ledermann cares deeply about this community and has worked in a variety of volunteer positions. He would truly be an asset as a member of the Mahtomedi City Council. Betsy Thorson Mahtomedi
Term ‘nonprofit’ misleading for health care entities I just read Sara Moore’s column: Medical Boomtown (Sept. 27). I am trying to understand the analogy between the oil boom in Williston, North Dakota and the growing number of medical-related businesses locating in Vadnais Heights. The businesses are so dissimilar I can’t believe the far-fetched attempt to relate the two. Ms. Moore’s term “nonprofit” to describe HealthEast, Fairview, Allina and Healthpartners is misleading. These health care entities generate huge amounts of revenue. The physicians, administrators, nurses and auxiliaries are all paid handsomely… they do not donate their time as the term “nonprofit” implies. Much of a hospital’s revenue is generated by patients with excellent insurance. These patients can expect a tsunami of tests and procedures to maximize the bill without affecting or improving the final outcome. Patient consent is not sought since the phrase “standard of care” is used to justify just about anything. Urgency centers are popping up all over the United States. The reason: they are extremely profitable. My wife’s encounter with an urgency center in South Carolina is a glaring case in point. She works as a flight attendant and her head-cold congestion was an issue. She was referred to an urgency center near her hotel. The 10-minute visit with a physician and a recommendation for Flonase resulted in a charge of $1,500. The physician used creative coding to justify his fee. Fortunately the airlines got involved and “negotiated” the fee way down.There is absolutely no transparency in the medical profession when it comes to codes and costs. At least Ms. Moore was right when she said hamburger joints like McDonald’s and Burger King are competitive. They have posted menus with costs clearly highlighted. I recommend readers look up a well-researched article by Steve Kroft, an investigative reporter for CBS’s 60 Minutes. Kroft did a year-long study of hospitals and their high pressure tactics to have emergency room doctors admit patients to the hospital, especially those over age 65. Is it any wonder why health insurance costs are skyrocketing? Hospitals, physicians, dentists, chiropractors, pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies are all picking the money-pockets of the individual while a do-nothing congress is in Never Land…or is it Williston, North Dakota?

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following:
Vadnais Heights • A wallet left in a vehicle parked on Clover Avenue overnight Sept. 19 was donated to a passing thief. Credit cards, a driver’s license and cash in the amount of $10 went missing. • Mobile home park neighbors reported a woman sitting on the steps of a home in the 100 block of Mayfair Road late on the night of Sept. 21. Occupants told a deputy they didn’t know who she was. The woman said she didn’t know who she was either, and was transported to United Hospital for a psych evaluation. • A 50-year-old theft victim reported Sept. 21 that someone was going crazy with her credit card, racking up seven recent charges, mainly at Walmart and SuperAmerica, totalling $304. • A vehicle rear-ended another the morning of Sept. 22 at Hwy. 96 and Centerville Road. The driver then backed up and hit a second vehicle. At that point the driver began to clean out potential evidence of drugs, then ran into a nearby shopping center. The 26-year-old Blaine man was quickly collared by arriving deputies and was transported to jail after an intermittent stop at Regions Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Charges of third-degree DWI and driving after license revocation are pending action by the county attorney. • A motionless female was reported at a gas pump by a station employee just before midnight on Sept. 22 in the 1000 block of County Road E. The 35-year-old, who lived nearby, arrived home as a deputy pulled up. Showing no signs of alcohol use but showing signs of being on something, the woman was transported to Regions Hospital for a blood draw and then to jail on a pending charge of third-degree DUI. A child on board was taken to a grandparent’s residence. A possible charge of child endangerment awaits results of the blood draw. • A juvenile passed out in a vehicle at a gas station in the 3400 block of Rice Street just before midnight Sept. 23 resulted in the arrest of the driver, a 57-yearold Maplewood man, on a pending charge of con-
tributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was then released. The 17-year-old youth was charged with underage consumption and also released. An investigation continues. • Alcohol compliance checks testing possible sales of alcohol to underage customers held Sept. 23 resulted in 11 retail establishments passing with flying colors. No arrests. • Hey dude, it’s over. A 30-year-old man was arrested the night of Sept. 23 at an apartment on County Road D after his live-in girlfriend broke off the relationship. The jilted man, who grabbed the victim’s phone as she was driving away, faces gross-misdemeanor charges of interference with a 911 call and disturbing the peace. He was transported to jail. • Where’s Eddie? Apparently unbeknownst to the juvenile getaway driver behind the wheel of his mom’s car, two shoplifters picked up bottles of Patron (tequila), Courvoisier (cognac) and 1800 Silver Tequila — a total value of $110 — and raced out the door of D&L Liquors in the 900 block of County Road E the evening of Sept. 26, one jumping in the car and telling the female driver, “Go, go, go!” “Where’s Eddie?” she asked, as she drove off. A witness followed the suspect vehicle, obtaining the plate number. The car was soon located by deputies. A passenger, a 21-yearold man from St. Paul, was arrested and booked into jail for shoplifting and the goods were recovered. The driver said she didn’t know what the pair was up to. An investigation continues.
White Bear Township • After running out of gas at 4 a.m. Sept. 20 in the 4300 block of East Street, the driver began knocking on doors. That didn’t work, and someone called 911. The 36-year-old Monticello man who had no ID was jailed on driving after license revocation and for multiple warrants. • Fists flew the morning of Sept. 21 at the Bellaire Education Center between a pair of juveniles. The school was locked down and the instigator determined; age, gender and hometown were not released. The suspect was transported to the county Juvenile Detention
Center on charges of fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct. • Head for the roundhouse buddy, they can’t corner you there. Authorities would like to talk to the 42-year-old St. Cloud resident who got into a mixup the night of Sept. 21 with his brother, his dad and his daughter concerning who was going to live with whom on White Bear Parkway and who left the scene following the fight. Charges of domestic assault and disorderly conduct may result from the conversation. • An alcohol compliance check was conducted Sept. 23 at six on-and off-sale establishments in the city. All passed and there were no arrests. • Used to parking in the 4500 block of Margaret Street, a 25-year-old East Bethel man awoke Sept. 24 to find his 1993 Honda Accord missing. It was recovered the next day by White Bear Lake Police. • A shoplifter, collared while pushing his cart out of Cub Foods the afternoon of Sept. 25 with $291 worth of groceries he hadn’t paid for, told asset protection employees that he had lost his job and his house recently. Adding to the 39-year-old Hugo man’s woes was a citation for shoplifting. • A driver stopped the night of Sept. 25 at Centerville Road and County Road H2 for driving with a burnedout headlight was arrested for driving after license cancellation-inimical to public safety. He was also tagged for “no interlock device,” which was required on the vehicle. The 46-year-old Vadnais Heights man was transported to jail and his vehicle was impounded. • Stopped for a traffic offense in the early morning hours of Sept. 26 at Hwy. 96 and Otter Lake Road, a 30-year-old man was arrested for driving after license revocation. The St. Paul man, who has been convicted 41 times for failure to appear in court, was booked into jail and his vehicle impounded. • A juvenile, sex, age and hometown not released, was accused of assaulting staff the afternoon of Sept. 26 and was detained at Bellaire School until a parent arrived to take the suspect home. An investigation continues.

Woman held hostage rescued by note written in crayon BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — A woman being held against her will in her own apartment with her children Sept. 28 threw a note written in crayon out her window hoping for rescue — those hopes were realized when an advocate at the Solid Ground shelter saw the note and called the police. The note read, “Please call the police, I'm trapped in my apartment by Darrell. He got into my house last
night and punched, choked me and broke my phone and TV. Please he said he will kill me if police come so please use my apartment key from the office!” according to court documents. The victim tossed the note out the window to the advocate for residents living at the Solid Ground apartment building, a transitional housing facility for families needing assistance. White Bear Lake Police opened her apartment door with a master key and found Darrell Wayne Hill inside with his hands up in the air. He was arrested and
charged with kidnapping, domestic assault and domestic assault by strangulation. Hill also had warrants and other recent charges for domestic assault. Police observed a broken TV, broken phone and bloodstains in the apartment. The victim was also visibly injured. The victim said she opened her door to the ex-boyfriend the night before and he entered. When she asked him to leave, he refused. He apparently got in the building when another tenant opened the door for him.
Home construction project under investigation BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
GRANT — Shortly after rescuing fellow humans in Houston, a homeowner is under investigation by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) after residents questioned a personal construction project. Residents expressed concerns about the project near Joliet Avenue and 110th Street when they saw it, accusing the homeowners of commercial operations and raising concerns about contaminants.
The homeowner, who also owns Davids Hydro Vac in White Bear Lake, was reportedly doing a personal driveway project and also filling in low-lying areas to prevent water intrusion to the house, City Attorney Kevin Sandstrom explained. Davids Hydro Vac owners, brothers Mike Morehouse and Anthony Chavez, bought a duck boat and headed to Houston to help with emergency evacuations in August, according to other media. The brothers moved to Minnesota from Texas about three years ago. An investigation of the driveway and
fill project was opened after the MPCA received a complaint Sept. 27, reported Sarah Kilgriff of the MPCA. “It is just in its very beginning stages,” she noted. The city of Grant issued a cease-anddesist order for the project Sept. 26, said City Attorney Kevin Sandstrom. The issue revolves around the fact that a project of its size requires a permit from the MPCA, Sandstrom explained. A permit is required when a construction project involves digging up more than 1 acre of soil, to make sure stormwater runoff is properly managed. “In looking at this matter, it appeared
the property (owner) did not obtain that permit from MPCA,” Sandstrom said. The city and concerned residents brought the issue to the MPCA. The city's cease-and-desist order also advised the homeowners to stop the work until the MPCA can look into the issue. Onsite testing of materials at the site have indicated no chemical contaminants, Sandstrom said. Samples are currently undergoing further testing. A phone call to Davids Hydro Vac was not returned as of press time.

APPEAL: Plaintiffs accuse DNR of using scare tactics regarding court order FROM PAGE 1A
must also submit a contingency plan in their water supply plans for conversion to total or partial supply from surface water sources. The city of White Bear Lake, which intervened in the lawsuit on the side of the DNR, is joining the appeal, a decision made by City Council Sept. 26 after meeting with attorneys in closed session. Asked by Councilman Bill Walsh how much it would cost to join in the appeal process, City Manager Ellen Richter estimated $40,000 to $70,000. Litigation since January 2014 has already cost the city $449,000. White Bear Township, also an intervenor on the side of the DNR, was meeting in closed session to discuss the appeal at its Oct. 2 meeting (after press time) so no word yet on that decision. According to the DNR, the ruling will “not significantly help the lake reach the court’s desired water level.” If water levels remain below 923.5 feet in White Bear Lake, new irrigation and development restrictions would be imposed, noted the agency. DNR data show that water levels have registered below this 923.5 foot trigger level in 48 out of the past 58 years. If not overturned, residential watering would be banned for 500,000 area residents by early 2018 and could not resume until the lake rises above 924 feet. Temporary water permits for construction within 5 miles of White Bear Lake would also be immediately prohibited under the court’s ruling. In the last five years, 31 construction projects within five miles of the lake required such a permit. “The DNR is firmly committed to protecting our lakes, rivers and aquifers. But unnecessary water restrictions can be profoundly disruptive to people, our economy and communities,” said DNR

water permit will be downsized.” Bear told the City Council at a September meeting that staff disagrees with the judge’s conclusion. “We believe scientific data does not support this conclusion,” he said. “We are unconvinced there is anything we can do to influence the level of the lake.” Adding that the order does not apply directly to Hugo, Bear said the DNR may require the city to “do something.” A conversion to surface water is another concern. The estimated cost to connect to St. Paul’s water system is $630 million, Bear said. The city administrator called the order’s language “curious” and “difficult to interpret and enforce.” Bear also told council the irrigation ban should be considered permanent. “The lake rarely goes over 924 feet,” he noted, adding the historical averages used to arrive at that number are irrelevant since the lake was augmented for decades and the outlet lowered twice. Hugo City Councilman Chuck Haas pointed out that the city met the conservation goal of 75 gallons per day long ago. “We are one of the last ones that need to worry,” he said. “Others will be screaming bloody murder when they can’t water their lawns.” The DNR commissioner noted in the news release that the agency does believe some changes to water use may be needed and is working on a water model to better understand the impact of pumping from specific wells near White Bear Lake. “The decisions we make must balance the needs of all Minnesota residents and businesses to ensure everyone has reliable access to clean, affordable water,” Landwehr said. “That important balance and the quality of life we all enjoy are at stake in this ruling, which merits a thorough review by the Minnesota Court of Appeals.”
DISPATCH: City was last remaining independent call center in Ramsey County FROM PAGE 1A
$2.1 million over the five-year period. “That was not insignificant to us,” Richter said. The city would have to hire four dispatchers over the next two years if the call center stayed, as calls for service continue to rise. That won't happen now, but the city still needs to fill two vacated positions during the transition. Since the August council meeting, two dispatchers have left; one to another organization and one to become a police officer in another jurisdiction. A plan to fill those gaps is in place, Richter said, and the remaining dispatchers have agreed to stay through the transition. The decision to close the dispatch center was not made lightly. “There has been considerable discussion leading up to this decision,” Richter noted. “We have a dedicated and talented staff, I can't emphasize that enough, but it becomes a function of costs.” Richter assured members that staff has spoken with other city managers, police chiefs, officers, county deputies, paramedics, fire chiefs and firefighters and all have expressed confidence in the county's communication center. “This includes our new fire chief, who comes from Roseville and has watched the center transform into the operation it is today,” she said, adding, “It is worth emphasizing that every other city in Ramsey County depends on the communication center for emergency dispatching.” Ramsey County operates a 24-hour call center managed by Scott Williams, director of emergency communications. He attended the council meeting to answer questions and assure members there would be no reduction in service. City Councilman Dan Jones knows that change is tough. “This is one of the hardest decisions I've made,” he admitted. “It's hard to handle change. We're giving up a piece of our independence. I believe right now we provide better service, but I don't believe it can continue and I'm much more in favor of this now. “I've been accused of being a 'flip-flopper' before. It makes sense to join the other 540,000 residents who use county dispatch. I'm trusting Ramsey County to take care of my parents, 83 and 84, who still live in White Bear Lake.” Dispatch services are levied through county property taxes, with the remaining costs divided among cities based on call share.

White Bear Lake Police Chief Julie Swanson said the move to the county dispatch center offers clear benefits to officer safety. The county radio channel is shared with multiple jurisdictions so response times for mutual aid can be much faster.
would be 3 percent of the call volume, which would likely cost about $201,500 in 2018. White Bear Lake Police Chief Julie Swanson maintained there are clear benefits to officer safety using the county system. The fire department, too, supported the transition, citing advantages to sharing radio channels with surrounding jurisdictions as departments increasingly rely on mutual aid. Only White Bear officers are on the city channel. With the county, the channel is shared with other law enforcement organizations like those in Maplewood and White Bear Township. “We hope they're listening to our channel, but they may not be,” Swanson said. “That is a concern. Sometimes we need help and we need it fast.” The chief recalled an 8 a.m. domestic two weeks ago that turned into a car fire. “We received a minimum of 20 calls for one dispatcher on duty. Nine officers were on scene plus up to nine firefighters. We didn't
have a good address and we couldn't find a suspect. The dispatcher had to talk to more than 20 people for the same call.” Councilman Bill Walsh asked Richter about any impact on ambulance service. Half of dispatch operations is supported by the ambulance fund, which is experiencing its own financial challenges. The move would relieve that situation, she said. A decision will also be made in the near future whether to keep the public safety lobby open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Dispatchers may be used to supervise the service window. Council voted 3-1 approving the move; Councilman Steve Engstran, a White Bear firefighter, voted no. Councilman Doug Biehn recused himself. The city plans to hold meetings as soon as possible with the county to begin the transition process. Staff hopes to have a joint powers agreement ready for council approval at the first meeting in November.

The Urgency Room Manager of Business Development Becky Leagjeld, left, gives a tour of the Vadnais Heights facility to the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation Northeast Metro Young Professionals Group Sept. 19.
Emergency room alternatives on the rise BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
VADNAIS HEIGHTS — Waiting for hours at a hospital emergency room with a broken bone or other emergency that is not life-threatening is quickly becoming a thing of the past in the northeast metro. “You don't have to go all the way downtown,” said Becky Leagjeld, manager of business development at The Urgency Room located in the Helene Houle Medical Center on County Road E in Vadnais Heights. The Urgency Room is not open 24 hours, but patients can walk in 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week, 365 days of the year. ER-trained physicians treat non life-threatening conditions such as asthma, allergies, high fevers, chest pain, abdominal pain, kidney stones, early pregnancy bleeding, blood clots, broken bones, head injuries and wounds requiring stitches. “If you think you are going to die, call 911,” Leagjeld said. The Urgency Room does not accept ambulances but does transport patients to the hospital if needed. Each year, the Vadnais Heights Urgency Room transports about 360 to 480 of its 25,000 to 35,000 patients to the ER. Leagjeld said about 70 percent of conditions treated in an emergency room could be treated at a place like The Urgency Room. The facility contains a lab, X-ray and CT scan machines and procedural equipment. Wait times are also shorter. For a typical condition, someone could wait six hours in the ER versus one hour at The Urgency Room, she noted. At noon Sept. 20, wait times on the clinic's website were 25 minutes in Vadnais Heights, 15 minutes in Eagan and 10 minutes in Woodbury. Also, Leagjeld said, its guest coordinators notify patients where they are in line and get them coffee and juice. The only patient that came in the door Sept. 19 about 9:30 a.m. walked
up to two waiting receptionists and said, “I think I have strep throat.” The Urgency Room is, on average, less expensive than the ER but more expensive than an urgent care clinic, Leagjeld said. It contracts with all major insurance companies and accepts Medicare and in-state Medicaid. However, Leagjeld said it is going to be less expensive to go to an urgent care clinic for something like a sore throat. But the Urgency Room's patients are 50 percent returnees. “I think when patients come, they learn what to expect and they come back,” she noted. The Vadnais Heights location opened in 2013 and is its largest location. It is the only one attached to other medical facilities. The fi rst location opened in Woodbury in 2010. The company plans to open another one in the near future, likely in the west metro area. The Urgency Room is a medical business begun by a group of physicians called EPPA (Emergency Physicians Professional Association). “The physicians just wanted to control so many things they couldn't (control) being contracted employees,” Leagjeld said.
Specialty clinics offer ER alternatives Just over the freeway by Walmart, another emergency room alternative beckons at Summit Orthopedics. The physician-owned facility has an OrthoQUICK walk-in clinic that treats bone and joint injuries 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekends. About 99 percent of musculoskeletal injuries can be treated at OrthoQUICK, but patients should head to the ER if they have an open wound or the bone is at a severe angle, according to a brochure. But the usual sprains, strains and broken bones can be treated at OrthoQUICK more quickly than at the ER. OrthoQUICK is also generally less
expensive than the ER and patients get treatment from orthopedics medical professionals right away, said Brian Hall, practice development manager. They can book follow-up appointments at the center that treats all sorts of injuries related to hands, feet, ankles, knees, hips, the spine, arthritis and sports medicine. “There is really no injury we can't handle both clinically and surgically,” Hall said. The facility also has lower infection rates in its surgery center than hospitals — the average is about 0.5 percent at Summit and 3 percent at hospitals, Hall said. The reason is likely because it is a specialized destination medical facility where other conditions are not being treated. “We can control the environment here more than at a hospital,” Hall said. Patients can stay in the surgery center for up to 23 hours and still receive an out-patient medical bill. The facility accepts all major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. Even though Summit Orthopedics is a business, its physicians value quality of life and don't push unnecessary procedures, Hall said. “I see this as being the future, for not just this type of surgery,” Hall said. Most major health care systems in the metro, including recently merged HealthEast and Fairview, and Allina and HealthPartners, are nonprofits. Hospitals legally have to treat anyone who comes to them, said Kay Baker, a Vadnais Heights resident and retired director of community relations for HealthEast. The metro's big health systems are nonprofits because they absorb uncompensated Medicaid and provide some charity care. Last year, HealthEast provided $80 million in community benefits,
75 percent of which was for uncompensated Medicaid and other public programs, according to an online report. The remaining 25 percent went to professional education, subsidized health services, charity care and community health services. HealthEast reported its total operating revenue for fi scal year 2016 was $995 million. “Health care did not used to be a business,” Baker said, noting that nuns started the fi rst hospital in St. Paul long ago. Hospitals serve all people, but medical businesses only serve a segment of people, she added. “But I would go here,” she said, referring to Summit. It appears paying patients and their insurance companies are attracted to the satellite specialty medical businesses. According to Hall, Summit in Vadnais Heights sees 400 patients a day, who fi lled its various lobbies and fi led in and out in a constant stream about 10 a.m. Sept. 19. And just like Walgreens and CVS, they mysteriously pop up alongside each other. Summit Orthopedics has two OrthoQUICK clinics in other locations — one in Eagan and one in Woodbury, just like The Urgency Room. The Vadnais Heights location opened in 2014, a year after The Urgency Room. And Twin Cities Orthopedics is currently under construction less than two miles away in the Vadnais Heights Sports Center complex. Twin Cities Orthopedics also offers orthopedic urgent care, although it has not announced whether or not its Vadnais Heights location will have urgent care. Two of its eight existing urgent care clinics are located in Eagan and Woodbury. Vadnais Heights Editor Sara Marie Moore can be reached at vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com or 651-407-1235.

Ice arena threads way through approval process WHITE BEAR LAKE — Site plan approval for the renovated Sports Center skated through the Planning Commission last week. Since the commission is charged with review of capital improvements before making its recommendation to City Council, the site plan landed on its Sept. 25 agenda. Noting “now is the time to make a serious investment in the Sports Center,” Planner Anne Kane walked the commission members through planned changes to the ice arena. The existing sheet of ice will be replaced, as will the obsolete R22 refrigeration system and exterior facade. Improvements will be made to the interior. The facility will have the same footprint but slightly less seating. It will get a new roof and insulation, a new concrete floor and LED lighting.

This sketch of the White Bear Lake Sports Center provides an idea of what the building will look like after renovation, if approved. Construction will start April 1.
The project is estimated to cost $5.5 million with the White Bear Lake skating community paying $2.5 million and the city the remainder. There is potential for a second ice sheet, but not on the city's dime. The hockey association would be tasked with fundraising for that amenity. “This is a new renovation, not new construction,” reminded Kane. “This won't be a Taj Mahal of hock-

ey but it will meet the needs of the community.” A nearby home and garage on the city-owned property will be demolished this fall. The vacant space will remain open for now, but would be used to accommodate a second ice sheet if that happens. It will not become a parking lot. During a public hearing, two neighbors were concerned with noise and appearance. One resident
wanted to know how the ice plant will be screened. Kane said the city wants to be a good neighbor and will screen the southeast corner, possibly with a berm and evergreens. Compressors will constantly be running but the building will be insulated. “There will be vibration but not much noise,” noted Mark Burch, city engineer. The commission approved the site plan 6-0. Construction should start April 1 on the remodeling project. The city wants the new arena to be ready for skaters by Sept. 1, 2018. The site plan goes to City Council Oct. 10. Debra Neutkens

White Bear Rotarians get in on act at new theater WHITE BEAR LAKE — A $50,000 contribution to the new Hanifl Performing Arts Center earned the Rotary Club naming rights to the box office. It will be called the “White Bear Lake Rotary Box Office.” Past President Ken Galloway said once the club finished paying off its 10year commitment to the Clark Avenue restoration project a few years ago, they looked for another project. “Several of
us took on the task of recommending a worthy project we thought would make an impactful contribution to the community, and promote visibility of our club,” recalled Galloway. “Lakeshore Players Theatre was just getting its capital campaign going, so I decided to champion that project to the board. We investigated four other worthy projects that went to membership for a vote. The club chose the box office.”
The $50,000 pledge will be paid off over a 10-year period. Rotary's commitment to the new theater complex, under construction on Long Avenue, was noted during a presentation by Sharon Hanifl-Lee and Kari Bullion, representatives of Children's Performing Arts (CPA) in Forest Lake. The children's theater group will move its headquarters to the new Hanifl Performing Arts Center and will share the facility with Lakeshore Players Theatre. Hanifl-Lee is vice president of the Hanifl Foundation, started by her parents, Paul and Suzanne Hanifl, in
1999. They secured naming rights to the performing arts center through a $2.75 million gift last April. “We have been blessed with success and believe it should be shared with the community,” Hanifl-Lee said. “The foundation has supported children's theater for years and White Bear is a town that clearly understands the value of the arts.” The CPA was started 12 years ago to provide theater education programs for children.

LOOKING BACK Week of October 1- 7, 2017 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.
1992-93 season. This is the 20th season of the orchestra, the 18th under Bobzin’s direction. The season will be devoted to piano concerti featuring pianists from the White Bear Lake area.
1917 White Bear Lodge, Degree of Honor, entertained the District Convention, last Monday afternoon and evening. It was a success. About one hundred and fifty delegates were in attendance and nearly all lodges were represented by a large delegation.
1942 It is with sadness of heart that many residents of White Bear and abroad learn this week of the passing of one of its noble citizens, Mr. Frank F. Farrar. The end came suddenly and without warning, Sunday afternoon, Sept. 27... Farrar was born January 7, 1868...He came to White Bear in 1894 when he was made superintendent of schools, organizing the high school, and served in that capacity for 27 years.
1967 Elvin V. Bergstrom has been named White Bear area manager for Northern States Power Co., it was announced today by J. F. Owens, Jr., NSP vice president and manager of the St. Paul division. Bergstrom was supervisor of municipal services in NSP’s St. Paul division before assuming his new duties in White Bear Lake Oct. 1. George Lund, White Bear NSP manager since 1950, will take early retirement Nov. 30 after 43 years with the company.
1992 Lakewood Symphony Orchestra Music Director Robert Bobzin has announced the schedule of concerts for the
2007 When White Bear Unitarian Universalist Church leaders realized they needed more space for their growing congregation, they decided to let the land be the landmark. That philosophy is evident as one drives into the church’s new parking lot, which is lined by mature oaks and punctuated by several tall trees that jut up from specially built islands of soil. Saving as many trees as possible was just one of the ways the church made its nearly completed project as environmentally friendly as possible.
Looking Forward to the Past Upcoming Historical Society Events Dellwood – 100 Years & Counting Monday, October 16th 6:30-7:30pm at Wildwood Library, 763 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi Dellwood, Minnesota, a small hamlet on the north shore of White Bear Lake, has been the summer playground for many of St. Paulites for more than a century. The summer cottages eventually turned to year-round homes designed by some of Minnesota’s most esteemed architects of the early twentieth century. Join us to see images of grand homes and hear stories of those golden days. FREE event but donations are welcome.

Walk in the woods comes to tired end Five months after departing the trailhead at Springer Mountain, Georgia, Taylor Kope ended his 2,181mile walk in the woods. On Sept. 28, five months to the day and 5 minutes from his start time, the White Bear High School grad arrived at the end of the Appalachian Trail on Mt. Katahdin, Maine. He had lost 30 pounds. It was quite a journey for Kope, said his mom Jane, who planned to pick him up at the airport Sept. 29. Only 15 percent of hikers who start actually complete the trail, she added. Jane Kope shared an email her son wrote to her last
Thursday at the finish line: “Dear mom, At 2:55PM I finished something I started … There were 80 mph winds that threatened my life … Along with below freezing wind chill. I caught a couple at the summit. The husband was a photographer and will send me the photos of me crumpling and crying at the sign. I walked safely down a separate trail with them and they brought me to Millinocket where I am currently at McDonald's lol." -Taylor Kope. Jane met her son on the trail near Woodstock, New Hampshire, in August and spent three days driving
around handing out food to hikers. “They were so thankful and gracious and starving,” she said. “They call us Trail Magic. There's an egg guy on the trail who makes omelets and a hamburger guy who grills burgers. Some hikers asked me to take out their garbage. My rental car was stuffed full of craziness and stinky hikers who I drove to the post office (to retrieve food packages). It was really fun.” Taylor Kope, who used the trail name Trailien, wrote in one of his final blogs about the breathtaking beauty of Maine and the calls of the loons, which “soothed my beaten down soul.” “The trail has an aura,” he wrote. “And if you keep your head up, do right by the trail and carry on with warmth in your heart, you'll be taken care of and make it.” Debra Neutkens

Honored guests in Vadnais Heights: local Olympian and her South Korean hockey team Marissa Brandt and her teammates on the South Korean hockey team, slated to play in the Olympics next February in South Korea, were guests of her parents in her native Vadnais Heights on Saturday, Sept. 23. The women’s team bus was escorted to the Brandt home on Kaitlin Drive by the Vadnais Heights Fire Department and treated to a chicken and pasta dinner by Marissa’s and her husband Brett’s parents. Neighbors showed up to help celebrate the occasion. Also on hand were Mayor Bob Fletcher and his children. The mayor proclaimed it “Marissa and Hannah Brandt Day.” Marissa and Hannah Brandt, Hill-Murray graduates who played college hockey for Gustavus Adolphus and the Minnesota Gophers, respectively, will both be skating in the Olympics, for South Korea and Team USA, respectively. Marissa was one of several American college players of Korean descent recruited for the team.

Lake’s program in 1965. Both are natives of Germany and they reminisced in their native tongue. This visit was arranged by Alex Vargas (father of Bear midfielder Daniel Vargas) who called up Kraft, a longtime business associate of his, and handed his phone to Kauls. Kraft, asked what they talked about, said, “I thanked him again for his help. I didn’t know anything about coaching.” Only about 10 soccer programs existed in the state then, all in the metro area, mostly at private schools, and typically they were originated by foreign-born

A routine soccer match with White Bear Lake hosting Minnehaha Academy turned out to be an interesting milestone-marker last week. “Fifty years ago, we played in the first soccer game under the lights, in the state of Minnesota, on this field,” noted Guido Kauls, 87, retired Minnehaha Academy coach, as he and wife Nan watched the Bears duel the Red Hawks on Thursday evening. Not quite to the day, but close enough. It was Sept. 30, 1967, when White Bear Lake hosted Minnehaha, under the lights, Kauls said. It just happened that the same teams were slated to meet on the Bears field this year Sept. 28. “Actually, it was one of the (Minnehaha) coaches who noticed it, and he told me,” said Kauls. “I kept pretty good records.” Asked who won that 1967 game, Kauls chuckled, “Unfortunately, the wrong team. White Bear won 2-0.” The Bears took the 50th anniversary game, too, 5-1. Noah Williams and Spencer Millard scored in the first half, and Loren Altman booted three breakaway goals in the last 15 minutes. An announcement about the milestone, and Kauls’ presence, was made prior to the game. The Bears (6-5-3) lost their other two games last week, to Mounds View 3-1 and Mahtomedi 4-1. Kauls, who started Minnehaha’s soccer program in 1961, had a pleasant phone conversation during the game with Wolfgang Kraft, who started White Bear
language teachers who “brought soccer over with us,” said Kauls. Kauls taught German for 44 years and coached soccer for 40 years. Kraft, meanwhile, coached the Bears for just that one season, 1965, before entering the business of publishing high school foreign language textbooks. (Vargas joined him 25 years ago to handle Spanish textbooks.) Kraft helped the board find his successor, a man named Ed Noble, who was coaching in 1967. Kraft, who is now retired and living in Florida, visited recently and posed for photos with the current team and coach Karl Jende. “Nobody here knew much about soccer,” Kraft said. “I grew up playing soccer but didn’t know how to coach it. I called Guido. He helped me create a system, and told me what exercises to give the players.” About that original team, which finished 4-7-1, Kraft said he was fortunate to not only have Kauls’ mentorship, but also three very helpful players — two soccer-playing foreign-exchange students, from Uganda and Argentina, along with the senior class best athlete, German-born Volker Hennig, who was also captain of the tennis and swimming teams. The games were played behind the old high school (now known as the South Campus) but eventually some were held on the football field at the current site. Kraft affirmed what Kauls said, that as far as they knew, the 1967 game was the first under lights. Soccer has grown a bit since these two gentlemen helped get it going in Minnesota. There are currently 207 schools offering boys and girls soccer, and almost all of them play under the lights.

MAHTOMEDI SPORTS
BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED
Mahtomedi’s Lexi Harrod cranked up to serve during her No. 4 singles match against Edina.
Zephyrs lose summit duel to Edina 5-2, head into tennis playoffs 14-1 A year ago, Mahtomedi toppled Edina’s 19-year dynasty of state girls tennis championships. Last Wednesday, Edina got the rematch it’s been waiting for ever since. With mostly the same personnel on both sides, Edina cruised 5-2 in this duel of unbeaten teams, ranked one-two in the state. It probably won’t be the last they see of each other. The coaches have ranked Edina No. 1 and Mahtomedi No. 2 all season, despite the outcome of the 2016 state tournament, when the Zephyrs beat the Hornets 4-3 in the semifinals. The Hornets have justified their familiar No. 1 designation, finishing the regular season 15-0 with victories over five ranked teams. Mahtomedi headed into playoffs 14-1 after beating Simley 6-1 on Thursday.
They started pursuit of their fifth straight section title Tuesday. Mahtomedi’s points came at No. 4 singles with Lexi Harrod clipping Ingrid Smith 6-1, 6-1; and at No. 2 doubles, where Emily Fraser and Sarah Hoffman prevailed over Hayley Trebil and Jessica Ip 6-1, 1-6, 6-4. Edina won 1-2-3 singles with Sophie Reddy beating Grace Riermann 6-1, 6-4; Nicole Copeland stopping Lauren Splett 6-2, 6-1; and Margava Boyer foiling Anna Stutz 6-3, 6-3. Reddy and Copeland are ranked 1-2 in the state and Rierman is No. 10. In doubles, Sam Van Ert and Shaylynn Reger topped Mahtomedi’s Olivia Paradise and Elena Carlson 6-3, 6-3 at No. 1, while Lucky Kancherla and Morgan Clark topped Annika Hillstrom and Isabel Birkeland 6-0, 6-3 at No. 3. Last year, Mahtomedi lost twice to Edina in the regular season, while not at full strength, but won the state tournament when Paradise, their regular No. 1 player, returned from an injury. Similarly this year, Paradise missed several weeks, with an elbow injury, and returned last week. She was playing doubles at Edina.
homecoming in style. Packer quarterback Cade Sexauer capped a long drive with a two-yard sneak in the first quarter. Angel Rodriguez added an eight-yard TD just 1:16 later, after the Packers recovered a Zephyr fumble. On their old-fashioned grass field, the Packers unleashed an old-fashioned ground attack to protect the lead rolling up 287 rushing yards. Mahtomedi pulled within 14-7 in the third quarter when backup quarterback Jacob Arlander hit a wide-open Tim Lindquist for a 29-yard touchdown. The Packers held Mahtomedi to 111 yards rushing and 115 passing. Adam Olson carried 12 times for 74 yards and Brandon Anderson eight for 44. Brody Larson completed five of 19 passes for 67 yards. Arlandson was 2-for-3 for 48 yards with one intercepted. Lindquist caught two for 59 yards and Tyler Tangwall three for 25. Ben Putney made 13 tackles, two for losses. Eric Bjork made 14 tackles. The Zephyrs will host Forest Lake (1-4) next Friday.
South St. Paul hands Mahtomedi gridders first loss
Mahtomedi boys soccer, ranked No. 7 in Class 1A, won three matches after losing a close one to unbeaten Blake last week. The Zephyrs (10-3-1) fell to top-ranked Blake (8-0-2) by 2-1 Monday, giving up a tie-breaking penalty kick with three minutes left. Helio DeLa Torre had the Zephyr goal. The Zephyrs tripped Tartan 4-1 with Adam Graninski booting two goals and
Stung by two quick touchdowns in the first quarter, the Mahtomedi Zephyrs were dislodged from the unbeaten ranks with a 27-13 loss at South St. Paul on Friday evening. South St. Paul, ranked No. 9 in Class 4A, and No. 5 Mahtomedi are both 4-1 after the Packers celebrated their
Mahtomedi kickers fall to top-ranked team 2-1 but win three
WHITE BEAR SPORTS Bear football falls to Roseville Area 41-6 White Bear Lake, still seeking its first football win since 2015, was no match for Roseville Area on Friday evening. The Raiders (4-1) drubbed the Bears 41-6, rushing for 275 yards and five touchdowns and passing for another 164 yards. They intercepted four passes while holding the Bears to 115 yards rushing and 136 passing. For the Bears (0-5), Zach Griebel had 10 carries for 48 yards and Austin Nodes eight for 31. Dan Lyons completed nine of 13 passes for 62 yards with one interception. Cooper Anderson was 6-for-15 for 63 yards and three picked off. Tsoomfw Yang finished the game, going 3-for-5 for 14 yards. The Bears scored in the fourth quarter when Anderson passed to Russell Schoeller from 23 yards out. Roseville’s Zachary Andrade carried nine times for 103 yards, caught four passes for 69 yards, and had touchdown’s both running and receiving. Max Sandin scored three TD’s and intercepted two passes. The Bears will play at Woodbury (1-4) on Friday.
Bear girls riding 8-match win streak in soccer White Bear Lake girls soccer has an eight-game win streak after posting three victories last week — and played for the conference championship Tuesday. The No. 7 ranked Bears (11-2) edged Mounds View (9-3) by 4-3 on two goals by Erika Towley (corner kick from Mackenzie Ternes, and a free kick) and one each from Bailey McCullough and Kayla Anderson. Ternes booted three goals in a 7-1 win over North St. Paul while Townley, Anna Racine, McCullough and Claire Odmark also scored. The Bears had six players score in another 7-1 win, over Spring Lake Park, as Anderson notched two and Anna Schmidt, Tessah Anderson, Ashley Healy, Racine, and Odmark one apiece. The Bears hosted Stillwater in a duel of the only two teams unbeaten in conference on Tuesday evening. See White Bear Press online for a report.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council conducted the following business at its Sept. 26 meeting: • Swore in new Fire Chief Greg Peterson. The chief took the oath of office from Mayor Jo Emerson. • Heard a mayoral proclamation that Sept. 28 is National Bakery Day. Grandma's Bakery owners John and Deb Lupo then accepted the document from the mayor. John Lupo pointed out it was his idea to found a national bakery Chief Greg Peterson day after watching customers enter a record store in downtown White Bear Lake on National Record Day. Emerson noted it was “another fi rstâ€? for the city, referring to the world record ice cream sundae created during Marketfest in 2013 (also Lupo's idea). Councilman Dan Jones thanked Lupo for all he's done for White Bear Lake. “We're glad we could do it here,â€? replied Lupo. • Approved purchase of 39 self-contained breathing apparatus for the fi re department. Money has been budgeted for the $296,000 purchase. The equipment has a 15-year service life; the old equipment is that old and is failing. • Approved assessment rolls for the 2017 mill and overlay project.

Two residents spoke during a public hearing. One wanted to clarify the 30-day payment period. Fourth Street homeowner Mike Brooks wanted clarification regarding the special benefit to property the street improvement brings. He noted state statute requires a benefit equal to or greater than the amount assessed. City Engineer Mark Burch said the City Council has always been careful to keep assessment rates low to meet that benefit test. Rates are one-third the project cost and calculated based on an outside appraisal. Brooks feels road improvements should be taxed instead of putting the burden on property owners; he said 7,000 vehicles use Fourth Street every day. Burch invited him to City Hall to review the appraisal on his corner property. Residents were charged $13 per assessable front foot. • Approved a request to reconsider the previously approved Dowdal-Callas recombination subdivision to resolve a nonconforming issue at Wildwood Shopping Center. Barbara Dowdal made the request after a previous approval last year expired. The move would eliminate an outlot at 921 Wildwood Road owned by Michael Callas. • Approved a cooperative agreement regarding public safety related to 2018 Super Bowl security. The city of Minneapolis has reached out to all law enforcement agencies in Minnesota to help staff the event, which will require more than 2,500 licensed peace officers, roughly 25 percent of the state's force. Under the agreement, the
city will be reimbursed for both overtime and straight time. The assignment is optional for the city's officers. • Heard a report from Burch that public works is applying chemical treatments to the weeds growing among native grasses along the Hwy. 61 median. There have been complaints regarding the landscaping, apparently, and a busy city crew is hard-pressed to keep up with the gardening. “People need to be patient,â€? Burch said. Debra Neutkens

“AMERICAN MADE” (R) [LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT AND SOME SEXUALITY/NUDITY.] — When hotshot TWA pilot Barry Seal (Tom Cruise), who has a wife (Sarah Wright) and kids in Louisiana, is recruited by CIA agent Monty Schafer (Domhnall Gleeson) in 1978 to be an independent aviation consultant and to fly covert reconnaissance missions in South America in this entertaining, factually inspired, action-packed, well-paced, unbelievable, ireproducing, star-dotted (Caleb Landry Jones, Jesse Plemons and Jayma Mays), 117-minute film, he ends up becoming a drug courier for General Manuel Noriega (Alberto Ospino) in Panama and swimming in money after running cocaine into the U. S. for Pablo Escobar (Mauricio Mejía) and the Medellín Cartel, delivering arms to the Contras and then smuggling Contra rebels to his 2,000-acre property in Arkansas so that they can train in camps set up by the CIA, he eventually comes to the attention of the FBI, DEA and ATF for his illegal smuggling shenanigans and accepts a White House deal to fly again to South America to take photographs of drug kingpins in an effort to tie the drug traffickers to the Sandinistas.

As September ended on a dry note, 2 inches drier than normal, October opens on a very wet note. After the wet opening days of the month, it’s pretty likely that October will be wetter than normal (normal is around 2.5 inches). September, aided by four 90° days, finished 5° warmer than normal with the last week of the month finishing close to normal, temperaturewise. Lets hope the wet start to the month doesn’t set the tone for the month. I’ve noticed that past wet starts to October are hard to break. Keep your fingers crossed.

Fun Fact
Camels have three eyelids.
“BRAD’S STATUS” (R) [LANGUAGE.] — A somber, slow-paced, down-toearth, bittersweet, 101-minute comedy in which a small, nonprofit company owner (Ben Stiller) takes stock of his life and reminiscences about old college friends (Michael Sheen, Luke Wilson, Jermaine Clement and Mike White) he perceives as more successful than he is as he leaves his government employee wife (Jenna Fischer) in Sacramento to accompany his talented, 17-year-old, musician son (Austin Abrams) to Boston to search out universities.

“STRONGER” (R) [LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT, SOME GRAPHIC INJURY IMAGES, AND BRIEF SEXUALITY/NUDITY.] — A heartwarming, inspirational, factually based, heartbreaking, well-acted, star-dotted (Miranda Richardson, Clancy Brown, Lenny Clarke and Carlos Sanz), 116-minute film adapted from Jeff Bauman’s bestselling novel about the struggles that 28-year-old COSTCO employee Jeff Bauman (Jake Gyllenhaal) endured after he lost his legs during the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 while waiting at the finish line for the woman (Tatiana Maslany) he loves, trying to cope with debilitating PTSD, learning to use prostheses in order to be more independent and understanding the eager public’s need to see and acknowledge him in the aftermath.
“BATTLE OF THE SEXES” (PG-13) [SOME SEXUAL CONTENT AND PARTIAL NUDITY.] — Superb casting highlights this entertaining, factually based, well-acted, humorous, star-studded (Bill Pullman, Chris Parnell, Alan Cumming, Sarah Silverman, Fred Armisen, Jessica McNamee and Wallace Langham), 121-minute film adapted from Simon Beaufoy’s book that showcases the overthe-top televised showdown between arrogant, gambling-addicted, chauvinistic, legendary, 55-yearold tennis star Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell), who has a wife (Elizabeth Shue) and two sons (Lewis Pullman and Cooper J. Friedman), after stubborn, talented 29-year-old world tennis champion Billie Jean King (Emma Stone), who was struggling with her attraction to a beautiful hairdresser (Andrea Riseborough) and trying not to hurt her remarkably understanding, supportive handsome husband (Austin Stowell) in the process, accepted his invitation to compete in 1973.
