MAPLEWOOD — The Rush Line policy advisory committee said it would reconsider the location of a proposed bus station in downtown White Bear Lake. The station will be the terminus of a 14-mile rapid transit bus line to and from Union Depot in St. Paul. It is planned to operate seven days a week from early a.m. to late p.m. Buses will arrive in 15-minute increments, or every 10 minutes during rush hour. About a dozen residents came to a Rush Line policy advisory committee meeting Sept. 27 to express concern over the station location that had been recommended by a working group of about a dozen volunteers from White Bear Lake. The group met three times over the summer to evaluate several options for a downtown station location, said City Manager Ellen Hiniker. The station location that was highlighted is at Second Avenue and Clark Street, near US Bank. It was proposed the bank could be reworked into a parking facility, which had a potential to include four levels of parking and be 35 feet high. A platform would be located in the parking area to the west. However, the 25-member policy advisory committee is back to considering other downtown locations after resident feedback.

Hockey association delivers check as city engineer bids adieu BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Good on its word, the White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association (WBLAHA) presented a check for half a million dollars to the city last week. The money is a first installment on the $2.5 million pledged to renovate the Sports Center ice arena. “On behalf of the hockey association, boy and girls side, and me personally and my family, thank you for supporting this project. I’d like to present this check,” association President Kevin McFarlane said to City Council. “We promised to come up with $500,000 for a down payment for the Sports Center; it was fun writing this check out.”
McFarlane pointed out that he was a hockey coach for 20 years who finally got to work with a referee. “That doesn’t happen very often.” He was referring to City Engineer Mark Burch, who moonlights as a high school hockey ref during the winter and supervised the $5.5 million renovation with input from the WBLAHA. It was Burch’s last council meeting. He purposefully delayed his retirement to see the Sports Center completed and chose the Sept. 25 council meeting as his last. The facility officially re-opened Sept. 29. City Manager Ellen Hiniker said she was “dreading this moment” when the longtime engineer retired. Hiniker stated that Burch was “incredibly dedicated SEE COUNCIL, PAGE 9A

Extending Bruce Vento Trail: County wants your 2 cents WHITE BEAR LAKE — Ramsey County Parks & Recreation has scheduled two community meetings to talk about extending the Bruce Vento Trail from Highway 96 north to County Road J in White Bear Township. The county has initiated a planning study to refine alternatives for a trail corridor out of rail right of way and is looking for feedback. Proposed corridors will be presented for public input at the first meeting, Oct. 4. Refined corridor drawings then will be presented based on the input at the Oct. 25 meeting. In the end, the process will determine one preferred trail alignment for the Bruce Vento Regional Trail. Both meetings will be 6 to 8 p.m. behind the White Bear Lake Public Safety Building (training room off Third Street), 4701 Highway 61, White Bear Lake. The project’s goals, according to a county news release, are to determine if the trail can be routed through downtown White Bear Lake and to provide trail connections to the Rush Line Bus Rapid Transit stations. Bike trail advocate Mike Brooks, a White Bear Lake resident who co-chairs the Lake Links Association, feels it’s vital this final Bruce Vento segment
stay in the Hwy. 61 corridor through the north end of downtown. “Bringing the Vento through downtown along Hwy. 61 fulfills our community’s much-needed, and long promised, continuous bike/walk friendly facility the length of the 61 corridor through town,” Brooks said. “To craft a workable solution, our decision-makers and legislators will need to negotiate with a number of public and private right-ofway holders, including BNSF (Railway Company).” Brooks went on to note the proposed Rush Line project is heavily dependent on people accessing transit stations via walking and on bikes. “All transit stations being considered are in the Hwy. 61 corridor,” he said. “These are at Cedar Avenue, Whitaker and on the east side of the downtown in the city of White Bear Lake. People need a safe way to get to these stations. “A completed Bruce Vento is much more than just a bike trail. Aligning it to come through our primary downtown in the Highway 61 corridor offers the greatest return on investment and makes our community safer and more livable.” Debra Neutkens

P
eople are the most important asset in our community. We have to give a shout out of thanks to those who have established the foundation around us. Generations of families have put down roots here and helped create what we call community today. Their engagement in this community have provided the foundation for our neighborhoods, churches, businesses, and schools. They launched a spirit of community with volunteer power and can-do attitude. It’s this volunteerism that sets us apart; it’s the volunteer spirit that makes our communities a great place to live, work and up the next generation. Publisher’s raise Thank you to the countless volunteers who get it done in View our neighborhoods and commuCarter Johnson nities — from those who have raised funds for memorials and monuments honoring our past, public servants to the volunteer fi remen, those tending community gardens, stocking our local food shelves, mentoring kids at drop in centers, churches or after-school programs, to those who simply pick up the trash on their morning walks or do fall clean up for someone in need. The local newspaper has been an integral part of the community for generations, too. We have a mission to be the best source of community information, and we stand alongside local volunteer organizations, churches, schools, local government and others to promote greater community engagement. We give you the details you need to help you navigate your day, week or month, and we need your support. Twice a year we ask that you invest in the local newspaper with a subscription. More than ever it’s crucial that we report on what’s happening around us from local government, schools, sports and special events. We do this in today’s noisy marketplace of information, where few know the source, facts are questionable, and everyone can have a reporter’s mentality. We need the support of the community with subscriptions to keep experienced, professionally-trained journalists writing the local news and information. This information is critical today and for generations to come. It is important to all of us. It is important now, and will be increasingly so in the years to come. Every day I hear from readers about how information in our paper has impacted their lives. Nearly as often I overhear strangers discussing a story they read in our paper – those sitting nearby at a restaurant or standing in line at the grocery store who don’t know me or my vested interest. These conversations are a constant reminder of the importance of the work we do at Press Publications. Participation in our subscriber campaign is voluntary; however, just like how our community wouldn’t be as strong and vibrant without volunteers, neither would your local newspaper. Please subscribe today by calling 651-407-1200. You may subscribe over the phone, or you can go to www.presspubs.com. With your subscription you will receive full online access to our e-edition, expanded content, videos and a chance to win a $250 gift card to a local merchant. I wouldn’t bring it up if it weren’t so important that our readers help support the newspaper they rely on. If this newspaper is important to you, please send in your subscription today. Any amount you can contribute to support local news is appreciated and please remember to tip your youth or adult carrier. Thank you. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Re-elect R l t incumbent i b t for f 42B Jamie Becker-Finn has been an effective state representative for District 42B since the day she took office. Jamie hit the ground running and has authored an impressive list of 17 bills on such topics as fi rearm safety, environmental protection measures, workplace safety and domestic violence prevention. Additionally, she has co-authored another 151 bills. Jamie is very hard-working and forward-thinking. She will advocate strongly in the next legislative session for a tax conformity bill, funds for education and treatment to fi ght the opioid epidemic, meaningful legislation to address elder abuse in nursing homes and care facilities, and a state mandate requiring that cell phones used while driving must be hands-free. Jamie is committed to education and job preparedness, and a strong advocate for seniors and vulnerable adults. She is an excellent communicator with her constituents, holding periodic townhall meetings and meeting with constituents in her office and elsewhere. If you haven’t signed up to receive her periodic updates during the legislative session, I highly recommend doing so. Join me and my household in supporting Jamie Becker-Finn for re-election. Lisa Wersal Vadnais Heights
School district good investment Supporting our school district is a good investment. As a local business owner, I believe it’s in the best interest of our community to vote yes for the school levy request. The White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce has endorsed the levy request and sees this as a good investment as well. Our community would not be the same if we didn’t have a thriving school district which is recognized not only locally, but state and nationwide, as being a top school with an excellent reputation. Vote yes to keep supporting the district and the future productive citizens that graduate from Mahtomedi. Thank you. Brady W. Ramsay Mahtomedi
The importance of a vote The “media” is rife with why it’s so important to vote in the fall election. Controversy stirs emotions in some. For me, it does not. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to not vote for any candidate in the
2018 elections l ti h runs negative ti who campaign ads. Looks like I won’t be voting this fall. Tom Clark Mahtomedi
Clarifications on ice rink article Just a few quick clarifications on your Sept. 26 article “Goal, ice rink for Mahtomedi area.” Grant has no sewer and water system as identified in the article. The city has no infrastructure that can be mistaken for city water and sewer; our entire city by plan uses private wells and septic systems. The sole exception: Mahtomedi schools located in Grant. Upon Grant City Council approving a CUP, Mahtomedi will need to extend its sewer and water plant for service to the rink as it has for all existing school buildings in Grant. I cannot speak for our citizen volunteers on the Planning Commission. It would, however, be much more accurate to report that three of five members of the City Council approved the EAW environmental study last month rather than proclaim majority support for the overall project. I’ve no opinion on the overall CUP required for the site and won’t know if I’ll vote to approve until I have the CUP application to review and questions answered fully as to construction, operation, safety and impact upon my city. Jeff Huber Mayor of Grant Editor’s note: Huber’s letter was also sent to Alex Rogosheske, Grant city attorney David Snyder, the Grant city clerk and Mahtomedi Mayor Jud Marshall.
More clarifications on ice rink article I would agree with Mr. Huber’s request for clarifications and would also request that you publish these clarifications. I did have a slide in my presentation that said that the ice arena would be “served by city of Grant sewer and water.” However, this was an oversight on my part. It was pointed out to me prior to my presentation by the head of maintenance Bob Goebel and I forgot to correct it during my presentation. The ice arena will be serviced by city of Mahtomedi sewer and water through an amendment to the current joint powers agreement between the city of Mahtomedi and
th it off Grant. G t the city Moreover, the location for the ice arena is not “across the road from the high school.” The location for the ice arena will be on the Mahtomedi School District property. The arena will be located on a vacant portion of land near the new entrance for Wildwood Elementary, north of the parking lot near the new entrance and in between the new baseball fields and the existing soccer/lacrosse fields. Finally, I agree with Mr. Huber that it should be reported that three of the five members of the Grant City Council approved the EAW environmental study last month rather than stating majority support for the overall project. I should have been more accurate in my presentation when I said that the three of five members have “given their approval so far.” I meant to say — as Mr. Huber wrote — that three of the five members have given their approvals on the EAW environmental study. Alexander W. Rogosheske Mahtomedi
Candidate an advocate for strong and safe schools In our community, we invest in education, families, students and teachers. We consistently vote for levies to support our school district, and we attend school plays, concerts and sporting events — Go Bears! This strong belief in our community and schools is one reason why I am voting for Ami Wazlawik to represent us in the Minnesota House of Representatives from District 38B. Ami’s dedication, preparation and passion were evident to everyone who attended the recent League of Women Voters’ candidate forum. Not only did Ami grow up in White Bear Lake and graduate from White Bear Lake area schools, she currently works with students to ensure their success in that same school district. Ami knows what it takes to keep our schools strong and safe because she works in them every single day. For example, Ami advocates for the expansion of our early childhood education program. As she explained at the forum, Ami is a self-proclaimed “data nerd” who knows the research showing that funding for our youngest students helps reduce Minnesota’s stubborn and persistent achievement gap for students of color. She knows fi rsthand how preparing our children for school leads to a stronger community for all of us.
A i’ focus f i also l on safety f t for f Ami’s is our community. Whether a suggestion is about the environment, families, health care/health insurance, highways, homes or parks, Ami asks the question: How will this suggestion make us safer? It is a compelling approach, one that earned her the endorsements from advocacy groups for the environment, women and workers. It is a practical and concrete approach that can help us make our own business and personal decisions. Christina Ogata White Bear Township
Candidate has proven record The political climate is hostile and opinionated. Friends, family members, discussion groups and people all over the country are being ripped apart by the emotionally charged issues of the times. It seems there is no escaping politics these days. We need dedicated, no nonsense, reliable and experienced people to represent our district’s best interests in a way they already know will succeed. We need an official who is ready and prepared to tackle these tough issues and hostilities in our environment. The most experienced, proven candidate for the State Senate District 38B job is Patti Anderson. She has a proven record in public offices of being a fair and conservative leader. She’s not afraid to fi ght for issues that are important to her constituents. Those are the reasons that my vote for Senate District 38B will be for Patti Anderson, and I hope that yours will be as well. Craig Carlson White Bear Lake

Both suspects were booked into jail. • A man was on the receiving end of a punch thrown by a co-worker the afternoon of Sept. 19 at an unnamed business in the 4400 block of McMenemy Street.

An investigation is underway. • A woman drove her vehicle through the garage and into the backyard the afternoon of Sept. 23 in the 700 block of County Road F. A leg injury was determined to be from a previous incident.

White Bear Township • A 50-year-old local man told deputies that three weeks earlier his bank card was used to purchase $120 worth of baby formula and on the 19th, he received a check for $126,000 from FedEx made out to an unknown individual. The man wisely returned the check to FedEx. • County Water Patrol deputies responded at midday Sept. 22 to a report of an abandoned boat adrift on White Bear Lake.

Ex-wrestler takes on TEDTalk: ‘A Pro Wrestler’s Guide to Confidence’ BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER
Stillwater resident Mike Kinney never expected to give a viral speech. A former professional wrestler, Kinney is no stranger to the spotlight, though he never counted public speaking among his strong suits. Last July, however, he delivered a talk at the popular TED conference to a sold-out crowd. That talk, “A Pro Wrestler’s Guide to Confidence,” currently has 1.1 million views on TED.com and was featured at this month’s TEDTalk Tuesday at the Wildwood Library in Mahtomedi. The opportunity to present at the conference arose through Kinney’s job at UPS, which has a partnership with TED. “I think it was probably February (2017) when they went to all 450,000 UPS employees and said, ‘If anyone has a great idea for something to share as a TED talk, here’s a form to fill out,’” Kinney remembered. He outlined the details of an idea: how embracing his unique traits helped him not only succeed as a professional wrestler but also cope with the death of his father, with whom he shared a love of wrestling. After nearly two months passed without a response, Kinney assumed that TED had passed up the idea, and he moved on. “It had gotten to the point where I’d forgotten about it,” he said. “You know, you just kind of get on with your life.” But then in April, Kinney received a call from a TED employee, who said the organization wanted to learn more about his background and see a full
draft of his proposed talk. Kinney was paired with a New York City-based speech coach, who worked with him remotely to fine-tune his presentation. “I probably wrote about 50 drafts of that speech,” he said. “I would complete a draft, read it out loud, and the folks from TED would get on a video call, listen to it and say something like, ‘You’re about 70 percent of the way there, but we need you to rewrite.” In May, after spending weeks rewriting his speech, Kinney was selected to present at TED’s upcoming conference in Atlanta, Georgia. “I had gone through this whole process without getting the official go-ahead, so when they finally let me know, I was pretty burnt out,” Kinney remembered. To recharge, he took a trip to southern Iowa, where his father’s body is buried. “I went down and stayed in a bedand-breakfast in this tiny town, and I focused on why I was doing this talk in the first place,” he said. “It was good for me to be kind of back in the trenches and be around where my dad is. Then, when I came back, I was able to go full speed ahead.” Most talks delivered at TED conferences are not posted online, and Kinney didn’t expect his to be an exception. “I really didn’t think that mine, based on the content, was going to go to TED. com, but I don’t know that I really cared,” he said. “Giving it ended up mostly being closure for my dad and closure for my wrestling career—closure I didn’t know I needed.” Six weeks after Kinney returned
to Stillwater from the conference in Atlanta, TED let Kinney know that his talk would be featured on the organization’s website. When he received the news, Kinney said, “the emotions hit me. They hadn’t before. I had fought them all back for the most part, but then it hit me what a big deal this is. It’s a huge deal.” He didn’t anticipate how popular the video would end up becoming, either. When it premiered online in October, he and his wife “would pull it up and refresh the page, and there would be hundreds of thousands of more views than were there the minute before,” he said. “It was really neat to see that number go up so quickly.” Kinney has received much attention in the wake of his talk’s popularity. “I live in this weird bubble where my coworkers and my family and friends have all seen it, but I don’t get any feedback that’s not meant to be positive,” he said. “Certainly, I realize that there’s a lot of positive messaging through it, but I want to hear from people that I don’t know.” As a regular presence at the Wildwood Library’s monthly TEDTalk Tuesday event, in which attendees view and discuss a TED presentation, Kinney thought the community event would be an ideal way of soliciting constructive criticism. Organizers welcomed him enthusiastically. “His talk is tremendously funny and tremendously inspiring, and the chance to have an actual TED speaker be a part of the discussion was beyond our wildest dreams for our little home-

town event,” said Mary Hoff, one of the event organizers. A group of locals launched TEDTalk Tuesday “as a way to help bring community members across the boundaries that too often divide us (and) to inspire and be inspired through a conversation around a common topic,” Hoff said. On Oct. 28, that same group will host TEDxMahtomedi, in which 11 speakers will present on a range of topics including public art, community energy cooperatives and the power of imagination.

RUSH LINE: Residents concerned about changing downtown character FROM PAGE 1A
approved the general plans it had drafted for the platform and station locations to go forward for environmental review at the Sept. 28 meeting but said its vote didn’t mean much with regard to the White Bear Lake station. “There is nothing carved in stone here,” said Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt. Public input is needed and wanted, she noted. It will ultimately be up to the City Council to provide direction on whether the station location is right for the city. Many community members who were unaware of the plans spoke up at the meeting after a recent article in the White Bear Press. Contractor Ed Cox said the residents surrounding the downtown area where the station was proposed were in an “outrage” after the news came out. He knows, he said, because they are his clients. Concerns have arisen over home values and changing the quaint character of the area. “There is nobody that wants to see our downtown affected,” he said. His comments were met with applause from about a dozen gathered. Sixty-five-year White Bear Laker and Clark Avenue resident Ken Vollbrecht said he couldn’t believe the city would change downtown by adding a large bus station. Lake Avenue resident Jay Althof echoed his sentiment when he saw the article — “I had a sinking feeling,” he told the policy advisory committee. Salon 61 owner Jerene Bailey said she never would have started her business there a year ago if she knew this would happen. The policy advisory committee made it clear that although the US Bank location is still an option, other options will be brought back under consideration. The working group also considered a station at the Fourth Street parcel owned by the city, now a parking lot and two businesses (Burger Bar and White Bear Bar), and on the current Post Office site between Banning and Cook Avenues. “Our council will now have an opportunity to review the findings of what has been done to date and react to it and do its own outreach,” Hiniker said. There are five or six locations to look at. There will be a discussion on the Rush Line at the Oct. 23 council meeting, she said. Although it is not a public hearing, residents are welcome to attend. Public meetings for input will be held in November and December. “Also, it is important for people to understand that while there has been some discussion regard-

ing a Park and Ride facility at a downtown station location, its need has not yet been determined,” Hiniker said. There are several other stops planned in the White Bear Lake, Gem Lake and Vadnais Heights area. A station could potentially be located near Highway 61 and Buerkle Road, where the county’s right of way along the old railway corridor ends, said engineering consultant James Gersema. A traffic analysis will be completed on Highway 61 to determine how a dedicated bus line could be added. A joint use parking facility is under evaluation at the Vadnais Heights Sports Center, Gersema said. Due to resident feedback, plans are to have both platforms at County Road E and Highway 61 on the south side of the intersection. That way, there will only be one street crossing for the bus line. At the Highway 61 and Cedar Avenue stop, platforms are
both planned on the north side. The plans for the Marina Triangle platform stop would include sliding the road to the east. In the future, a bus route may be added to Forest Lake, with a stop in Hugo. It is called the Rush Line because it was originally proposed to connect the metro with Rush City. Discussions about the idea have been ongoing for a couple of decades. Locals who are part of the policy advisory committee include Reinhardt, White Bear Lake Mayor Jo Emerson, White Bear Township Supervisor Bob Kermes, Gem Lake Councilman Jim Lindner, Vadnais Heights City Councilman Craig Johnson, White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce member Sheila Kelly and Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Ling Becker.

to the city and his team.” She also asked a few people who worked with Burch to talk about his tenure. Public Works employee Dan Pawlenty worked closely with Burch, who was also director of Public Works. He said the city was lucky to have the engineer. “As far as determination and positivity, no one holds a candle to Mark Burch,” Pawlenty noted. “He is always in a good mood and customer service is always first. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you. Your family should be proud of you.” Retired City Manager Mark Sather also reminisced about his time with Burch. “So much good has been done in the last 30 years,” he said. “The city was growing too fast when we hired him from Fridley in 1988. Residents were paying almost 100 percent of the cost of road improvements and utilities. We needed a plan. Sewers were undersized and basements were flooding with sewage. Much has been accomplished, many of those accomplishments are unseen (underground), and the city engineer was instrumental. He was a true leader and a true team player.” After the mayor presented Burch with his token white bear statue, he reminded the council it was their job to take care of all the stuff he helped build. “If not, I’ll be pissed,” Burch said.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — At its meeting Sept. 25, the City Council approved the following: • Resolution adopting an assessment roll in amount of $122,500 for 2018 mill and overlay project. The project involved 11th Street, Sumac Circle, Sumac Ridge, Manitou Drive and Manitou Lane. Amount assessed to property owners ranged from $553 to $723. No one spoke during the public hearing. • Resolution adopting an assessment roll in amount of $813,800 for 2018 street reconstruction project. Several homeowners said they don’t use their alley and questioned why they were being assessed $2,300 for those improvements. City Engineer Mark Burch said they have a 30-day option to appeal. At least four property owners indicated they are appealing their assessments. The county appraiser has reviewed the rolls and all projects were found to benefit the properties by at least the amount of assessments (by law), according to Burch. The city pays two-thirds of the project cost; property owners pay one-third. Councilman Kevin Edberg said it’s the most appeals he’s seen. “The alley assessment policy is fairly new,” he pointed out, “and this is the fi rst time it’s been applied. I am unclear if this is policy deserving more attention, but want the opportunity to address it if necessary.” Burch said the county assessor confi rmed that the alley assessment is a benefit to the property in the future even if the current homeowner doesn’t access it. First to speak during the public hearing was a resident on Old White Bear Avenue who complained that the post office hasn’t delivered mail to the neighborhood for two months. Burch told him the city is working with the postmaster on the problem, adding the city, too, is frustrated. Apparently the postal service won’t drive the mail truck over a surmountable curb onto the new trail to reach the mailbox. “They can drive on it,” Burch said. “It’s the same space, the same bikes, the same walkers as before the trail improvements.”
Councilman Bill Walsh said the city may need a lawyer or a Congresswoman to get involved in the mail delivery problem. • Resolution adopting an assessment roll in amount of $376,500 for Centerville Road improvements. Paying the lion’s share, or $150,000 of the cost, is Division 25 LLC, developers of the Lunds & Byerly’s property. The owner of 4650 Centerville Road, ktj 255 Llc in Excelsior, is being assessed $107,000. A representative for Division 25 thanked the city for its leadership on the project; otherwise, no one spoke during the public hearing. • Tabled a city ordinance that adopts the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code. The ordinance impacts absentee owners of derelict or vacant buildings that fall into disrepair. Building Inspector Ben Eggen said it provides a minimum standard that applies to all buildings in the city, residential and commercial. “It will not trigger upgrades,” he told council, noting about 30 cities have adopted the same code. “The only cost is to those not taking care of their building,” he said. White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tom Snell said the ordinance was an important issue that needs more review. He asked the city for another two weeks to gather more feedback. • Resolution suspending massage therapy establishment and massage therapist licenses at White Orchid Spa. The spa closed its doors Sept. 11 after being served with a search warrant by law enforcement agents, including the Washington County Human Trafficking Taskforce and the Woodbury Police Department. The establishment was featured on Backpage.com, an adult website seized by the FBI as a sexual marketplace. There was reportedly sufficient evidence for a warrant to be served at the business, 1979 Whitaker St., for alleged activities in violation of public health, safety and morals. For a complete story on the case, see “Spa shut down, owner arrested for sex trafficking,” in the Sept. 26 White Bear Press. An investigation is ongoing into the illegal trafficking of women for prostitution.
• Supported nomination of Mayor Jo Emerson for the board of directors of National League of Cities. Edberg said the nomination provides the mayor “a new opportunity on a national level.” • Heard a summary of a Sept. 17 neighborhood meeting over the blighted intersection of Bellaire Avenue and County Road E from Councilman Edberg. About 60 residents attended the meeting. The Take-home message, he said, was most prefer some sort of housing. That would require a zoning change. Debra Neutkens

Gem Lake sets preliminary tax levy GEM LAKE — At its Sept. 18 meeting, the City Council approved the following: • Preliminary tax levy. Finance Director Tom Kelly said the proposed $474,590 levy is 7.6 percent lower than last year. Accounting for some of the decrease was a reduction in the debt levy
and general operating levy from 2018. The levy’s impact on a median value home is about $100. A median value home in Gem Lake increased 8 percent from $262,850 to $283,800 in 2019. The city’s portion of the property tax increased from $967 to $1,051. No one spoke
during a public hearing. • Honey Bear Meadery, a mead pub at 1595 County Road E. Debra Neutkens

LOOKING BACK Week of September 30 – October 6, 2018 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1918 I have made arrangements with Lorenzo J. Markoe so that should I be absent and be needed in the undertaking department he can take temporary charge and notify me, when I can be here in a few hours and take personal charge. We are not planning on being absent much but have made this arrangement to take care of emergencies should they arise. H. J. Keeler, Undertaker‌. 1943 White Bear is an outstanding Boy Scout community, with a record of three troops and a Cub pack with 100 boys and 30 adult leaders, said a St. Paul headquarters official who visited The Press a few days ago. 1968 Chamber of Commerce members heard a talk last Tuesday on the proposed discontinuation of bus transportation between White Bear Lake and St. Paul, as well as a discussion on new concepts on mass transportation. Because they do not have enough passengers and are operating at a loss, the Twin City Transit Co. has asked the Public Service Commission for permission to drop service on the lines to White Bear Lake, Stillwater and Har Mar Mall.

Bears get big stop they needed, beat Roseville 24-20 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED
Zach Kuyava (7) made the hit that foiled Brendan McMillian’s (1) fourth-and-one run with 50 seconds left.
Like they say, all’s well that ends well. A year ago, White Bear Lake had two football games decided in the final minute and lost both on the way to an 0-9 season. This year, two of the first five games have been similar heart-pounders but the Bears have pulled out both of them. With Zach Kuyava busting up Roseville Area’s 4thand-1 play at the five-yard line with 50 seconds left, the Bears escaped with a 24-20 win at home and improved to 4-1. “He just shot the gap and made a great play,” coach Ryan Bartlett said about the outside linebacker who hit Roseville’s dangerous tailback Brendan McMillian behind the line of scrimmage. “Our coaches always tell us to bend but not break,” said Kuyava, a 5-9, 165-pound junior, “and we knew we could make that play on fourth down. We figured they

would probably go up the middle but I kept my eye on him going outside, too.” McMillian, who carried 26 times for 132 yards, took a pitchout but couldn’t skirt left end. Kuyava knocked the 5-6, 185-pound senior off his feet, into a teammate and onto the turf. After that big hit on the far sideline, the Bears defensive lineup jubilantly high-stepped across the field and turned it over to the offense for two kneel-downs to close out the game. The Bears, who lost similar games to Centennial and Osseo in 2017, opened this season with a 28-27 win over Centennial on a last-minute touchdown pass. The Roseville game hinged on fourth-down plays. Roseville (2-3) got an 18-yard touchdown pass from Zach Schneider to John Briggs on a 4th-and-8 play in the second quarter, after stopping the Bears on a 4thand-1 at the five. The Bears’ fourth-down fortunes improved in the fourth quarter. With 6:40 left at midfield, behind 20-17, on 4th-and-1, they elected not to play it safe with a punt, twice. First, they sent Brice Peters around end and he broke it 51 yards for a touchdown, but it was nullified by illegal shift called on wideout Dominic Smith. Undaunted, the Bears went for it again — on 4thand-6 at their own 44 — and Smith redeemed himself with a 19-yard catch from Cooper Anderson. “We have a play we felt confident with for that situation,” said Bartlett. They got 15 more yards for an illegal hit on Smith. That drive ended with Zach Griebel scoring from the one for a 24-20 lead with 3:39 left. Roseville marched swiftly inside the Bears 10. The Bears stopped them short on a 3rd-and-5 run before Kuyava settled the issue. In a duel close from start to finish, the Bears led 3-0 on Nick Blanding’s 23-yard field goal, the Raiders led 7-3 on McMillian’s seven-yard run, the Bears led 10-7 on Andrew Kleist’s four-yard run, the Raiders led 13-10 on Briggs touchdown, the Bears led 17-14 on Peters’ two-yard dive, and the Raiders led 20-17 on Schneider’s 21-yard toss to Reggie Flowers before the Bears finally grabbed a lead that stuck. Anderson was 9-for-13 for 124 yards, with Smith snagging seven for 89 yards. Peters caught a 23-yard pass and rushed 16 times for 52 yards. Griebel had 13 rushes for 38 yards and Kleist 10 for 38. Roseville’s Schneider hit 14 of 24 for 180 yards eight different receivers. Neither team had a turnover but Roseville was bogged down by 11 penalties for 90 yards, including a hold that nullified a 54-yard scoring pass. The Bears had just three 15-yard flags. The Bears will host Woodbury (4-1) at homecoming Oct. 5.

Zephyr defense dominant in 25-0 victory over Packers BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Bouncing back from its first loss, Mahtomedi held South St. Paul to 55 net yards and blanked the Packers 25-0 on Friday evening. The Zephyrs (4-1) gave up just 41 yards on the ground and 14 passing to South St. Paul (2-3) and had one safety. Quarterback Jake Arlandson scored twice on short runs (one and three yards) in the first half and passed to J’vonne Hadley for a 23-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Michael Hershey notched the other touchdown on an 18-yard run in the second quarter.
Arlandson completed 10 of 18 for 133 yards with none intercepted. Hadley caught five for 72 yards, Tyler Tangwall three for 46 and Hershey one for 16. The Zephyrs rolled up 266 yards rushing with nine players carrying the ball led by Eric Bjork with 13 for 76 yards, Arlandson 10 for 62, Nick Weisner four for 52 and Josh Praml five for 45. Bjork made eight tackles, Eddie Breien seven, Collin Grandstrand six, Elijah Heatherston five, and Alec Zell five. Grandstrand and Jack Bjork recovered fumbles. The Zephyrs, who lost to unbeaten St. Thomas Academy 21-0 the previous week, will play at Forest Lake (2-3) Friday.

Gary Wilson, retired Gophers women’s coach, now a volunteer assistant with the Bears, and David Percival, Central Middle School teacher, were both inducted into the Roy Griak Hall of Fame, for their service as meet
managers. Wilson and Griak, longtime Gopher men’s coach, co-founded the event in 1985. The Bear boys, missing two of their top five, were led by Max Nelson in 39th place. Try Solberg was 62nd, Trevor Locke 141st, Dairion Lemieux 214th and Ernie Mattson 272nd, among 517 in the Gold division (highest of two).

Mahtomedi boys soccer picked up three wins in four days last week, turning back Harding 5-1 Monday, Tartan 1-0 Tuesday and Henry Sibley 4-2 Thursday, all of them at home. Gavin Goralnick notched three goals against Harding and had the lone goal against Tartan. Scoring against Sibley were Helio De la Torre, Goralnick, Ian Fosdick and Nolan Pratumwon.

Zephyr girls have four straight soccer shutouts BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Mahtomedi girls soccer posted two shutout wins last week, extending their unscored-upon streak to four straight games. The No. 6 ranked team in Class 1A beat Tartan 9-0 Tuesday with Lauren Heinsch scoring three goals and Audrey Season two. Also scoring were Anna Wagner, Sonia Meyer, Michelle Williams and goalie Megan Lisowy. Lisowy and Katelyn Bradley each played a half in goal and totaled six saves. The Zephyrs beat Sibley 2-0 Thursday as Sydney Panek scored the second goal and assisted Heinsch on the first. Lisowy made seven saves.
This important fundraising event would not be possible without the sponsors, homeowners, 150 volunteers and all those who attend each year. Thank you!
Mahtomedi, defending state Class 1A champion, is 8-4 overall with seven wins via shutout. Their losses came against strong Class 2A teams. “Our defense is coming together,” said coach David Wald, noting that two leaders on last year’s state champion team had to be replaced, with Peyton Nelson graduating and Ava Vander Louw’s family moving to Japan. Wald cited Megan Clements, an allstate tournament pick last year, as a key veteran in her third year on the back line. Erika Broten at center back “has provided great leadership in back despite being a sophomore.” Also solid are junior Lindsey Handke and seniors Sydney Freking and Michelle Williams.

Back-to-school warning on nicotine and e-cigarettes As students return to school, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has issued a health advisory regarding the latest evidence that early nicotine use increases the risks of addiction for youth now and later in life. Nicotine primes the adolescent brain for addiction. Those exposed to nicotine are more likely to use other harmful substances such as illicit drugs and cigarettes. Because their brains are still developing, kids and teens can become addicted to nicotine more easily than adults. Minnesotans for a Smoke-Free Generation, a coalition of more than 60 organizations, warns that tobacco may be in students’ backpacks. “Today’s tobacco products are designed by the industry to look like everyday items like candy and school supplies,” said Molly Moilanen, director of public affairs at ClearWay MinnesotaSM and co-chair of Minnesotans for a Smoke-Free Generation. “Through stealthy designs, high nicotine content, aggressive advertising and candy flavors, this generation of tobacco products threatens our progress to reduce teen smoking.” In 2017, Minnesota high school tobacco use spiked to 26 percent — the first increase in teen tobacco use in 17 years, according to MDH. Much of this increase was due to e-cigarettes: high-school e-cigarette use increased by 50 percent over the last three years. Currently, 19 percent of high school students report use. “We need to do everything we can to address this escalating risk of addiction for youth, but we can’t do this alone. This work requires the participation of parents, educators, health care providers, retailers and policymakers,” said Minnesota Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm. Nearly all e-cigarettes contain nicotine, and research shows that young adults who smoke or who use e-cigarettes are much more likely to binge drink than nonsmokers. Recent studies have identified similar patterns between the use of nicotine and use of other drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamines. Use of e-cigarettes has also been shown to predict future cigarette use among youth who have never smoked cigarettes. Multiple research studies have demonstrated e-cigarette users are twice as likely to become cigarette smokers. “Far too many teens are being introduced at an early age to e-cigarettes,” said Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius. “Nicotine negatively impacts learning, memory and attention. As students start their new school year, I encourage educators, parents and health care providers to come together and raise awareness about the dangers of e-cigarettes on our youth so we can quickly address these troubling trends and put a full stop to them.” A specific product called JUUL, which looks like a USB or flash drive, now dominates more than 70 percent of the e-cigarette market. These products are easily hidden, emit a limited odor, and contain aerosol, which dissipates quickly. The JUUL pods, often flavored like candy or fruit, contain the same amount of nicotine as a pack of cigarettes. “Nicotine is highly addictive and can harm the adolescent brain no matter how it’s delivered,” Moilanen added. “Some of these popular devices are delivering a massive amount of nicotine. Youth often don’t realize or underestimate the amount of nicotine in these products and are becoming hooked at a young age. As Minnesota students go back to school, we urge elected leaders to step up and do more to protect youth.” All tobacco use, including e-cigarette use and vaping, is prohibited by state law in public schools, according to MDH. It is illegal for retail merchants to sell e-cigarette products to youth under age 18. Many Minnesota communities are already taking action to keep e-cigarettes and other tobacco products out of youth hands. Twelve cities have raised the minimum age to buy tobacco to age 21, and some have restricted flavored tobacco products to adult-only tobacco shops. Submitted

Loon Chronicles III: Juveniles Rock “Another weather challenged and wavy week on White Bear Lake. We cannot recall the last calm morning on the lake. Fortunately, there was plenty to see with the emerging fall colors and departing migratory birds, including the rafting bachelors and the other adult Loons. One by one, the Old Warriors are moving on, as well. As predicted, many juvenile Loons from other lakes are starting to arrive. Most continue to fish independently, but should start working as a group in the next few weeks. The Eagles and Coots are the main attraction right now. The Coot flocks just get larger and larger and the Eagles appear obsessed with their every move. Soon, the weaker Coots will be pushed to the outer edge of the flocks to serve as sacrificial Eagle food for the protection of the group. This is always hard to watch. The only saving grace is that this keeps the Eagles away from the Loons while they work on bulking up for their upcoming migration. Our early morning trips are getting colder. Good bye, flip flops. Hello, hats and mittens.”

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — In action at its Sept. 18 meeting, the City Council: • Ordered the certification of unpaid utility charges following a hearing held according to Minnesota statutes, for collection by the county with payable 2019 property taxes. In August, 156 notices totaling approximately $119,000 were sent out for properties that were two or more quarters overdue. Last year, 159 properties were overdue for a total of approximately $115,000. Of the payments overdue this year, 88 were repeat delinquent customers, said Administrative Support Specialist Patricia McGing. Since the notices were sent out, 101 of those bills remain unpaid, for a total of $79,000. The deadline to pay up is Nov. 15. • Adopted special assessments for project 2016-02, Briarwood Area improvements, following a public hearing on the matter. The cost of the improvements was $1.3 million, and the special assessments will be $280,985.73. No property owners objected to the assessments, but two property owners cited the terrible mess left by the subcontractor over a period of three weeks. • Adopted special assessments for project 2018-01, Phase 3 – Historic District improvements, following a public hearing on the matter. The cost of these improvements came in at $2.2 million, with special assessments amounting to $213,600. No property owners objected to the assessments, but there was an
objection to the poor condition of the construction area for a long period of time. • Adopted special assessments for project 2017-01, Hickory Street improvements, following a public hearing on the matter. The cost of the improvements was $459,500, and the special assessments amounted to $89,800. • Adopted special assessments for the Quail Street utility extension project, the cost of which was $421,300, following a public hearing on the matter. Special assessments amounted to $392,800. • Approved a request from D. Luke Thompson, on behalf of Carol Thompson, for a conditional use permit for a variance of 2 feet from the required 5-foot sideyard setback and a variance of 19 feet from the required 20-foot front yard setback to construct a front addition and carport at 79 Dahlia St. • Presented the 25-Year Service Award to Luann Tembreull for her dedication to the city of Mahtomedi. “I really can’t say enough good things about you,” Marshall told her. • Approved a proposal from WSB and Associates for park planning for Pheasant Run and Hallam Parks. • Approved a 3.2 liquor license and gas station license application for SuperAmerica, 3122 Century Ave. The Circle K is being sold to Northern Tier Retail, (dba SuperAmerica).

Non-native phragmites spotted in White Bear Lake Invasive non-native phragmites was recently discovered growing on the edges of White Bear Lake. Non-native phragmites, also known as common reed, is an extremely tall wetland grass. During the growing season, it can reach over 15 feet in height. The plant has dark green leaves with a large purple-brown flower head. The plant was discovered in August 2018 by a paddleboarding “citizen scientist,� and the find was confirmed in early September, according to Scott Costello, White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) director. The plant can be effectively treated with herbicides only through the
end of September, which did not allow enough time to organize a coordinated treatment effort in 2018. The WBLCD will work with Ramsey County, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the Rice Creek Watershed District and local aquatic vegetation treatment experts to create an effective treatment program for 2019. Management of invasive aquatic plants involving either mechanical removal of plants or application of herbicides to public waters below the ordinary high-water mark requires a permit from the DNR. If non-native phragmites is growing outside public waters on
private land, it may be controlled by property owners (see University of Minnesota information on controlling phragmites, below). Minnesota DNR information on invasive phragmites: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/ invasives/aquaticplants/phragmites/index.html U of M information on invasive phragmites: https://www.maisrc.umn.edu/ phragmites This web page includes detailed information on how to identify and control invasive phragmites.

Boeing engineer helps troubleshoot space station Editor’s note: The Press conducts email interviews from time to time with White Bear area natives doing interesting things in places near and far.
and working in zero gravity. I enjoy working as a NASA contractor through Boeing, and supporting the astronauts in their role, but I do not have the desire to go to space. I don’t like that free-falling feeling, like you get from a rollercoaster. There is no way I could get on a rocket.
Name: Jennifer (Rutt) Hammond Age: 38 Hometown: White Bear Lake Education: 1998 graduate of White Bear Lake Area High School Jennifer Rutt in 1998 Current location: Houston Quick bio: Jennifer has been employed by the Boeing Company for 15 years and has worked on the International Space Station (ISS) Program for the Communications and Tracking team, the ISS Structural Integrity team, the ISS Vehicle Integration Environments and Resources team and is currently a Mission Evaluation Room (MER) manager on the ISS Program. In her current role, Jennifer is certified to support the MER Manager console for ISS daily operations as well as lead on orbit anomaly investigations. This involves interaction with engineering subsystem experts, chief engineers, NASA flight directors, Mission Operations personnel and the Astronaut Crew Office. Jennifer has co-authored two papers for the International Astronautical Congress, addressing Interoperability and Common Standards for Deep Space Habitats. Jennifer is a graduate of The University of Wisconsin – Madison. She majored in engineering mechanics and astronautics and holds a Master of Science in engineering management from the University of Texas at Austin. Jennifer and her husband have two daughters, ages 7 and 5.
Q: How might fellow WBLAHS grads remember you? A: I was a member of the WBLHS Student Council, and a co-chair of the 1998 Homecoming Activities. I also participated in Youth in Government as well as National Honor Society.
Q: Is this what you wanted to do growing up? Did you want to be an astronaut? A: I always enjoyed math and science in school. My junior year in high school, I took Astronomy, which was an optional class. It was fascinating to me to learn about what is beyond Earth and piqued my interest in physics. That interest lead to looking for universities that had reputable physics programs, thinking I would pursue a degree in physics. After visiting the University of Wisconsin – Madison, I was introduced to an engineering program they offered, engineering mechanics (with an astronautics option), where graduates had gone on to work for the NASA Space Shuttle Program. I never had the interest to be an astronaut, but I had a strong interest in space vehicles and the physics around launching vehicles into space
Q: What were your favorite subjects in school? A: Science: physics, chemistry, organic chemistry and astronomy.
Q: What do you do at Boeing? How did you get the job? A: I am a Mission Evaluation Room manager, which means I work directly with engineering system experts to help sustain functionality of the ISS, as well as solve any system problems that might arise. I have been in this role for a year and had much preparation in other ISS systems prior to stepping into this role.
Q: Do you take any training (simulator) similar to that of the astronauts to know what it’s like? A: I don’t! The closest I have come to experiencing any astronaut-like training is being able to walk through the to-scale models (mock-ups) that NASA uses for training. This way the astronauts (or crew, as we refer to them) have an idea of how to operate the systems on ISS before they get up there.
Q: What is the highlight of your career thus far? A: I was able to go to Torino, Italy, for three weeks to perform testing on the audio system for the European Space Agency-provided Node 2 module. Getting to work with an international partner, in their home facility, taught me to appreciate the various cultures we have on the ISS program and embrace how they balance their work along with their family life.
Q: What has been most rewarding about your career path to date and what has been most challenging? A: Most rewarding has been making it to my current position. It is a highly regarded, very coveted role on ISS. I am employed by Boeing, but in this role we are very much one NASA/Boeing family. It is the most stressful, high-pressure job I have held, but it has been the most rewarding in that I get to help lead and solve problems that make it possible to continue life in space and perform invaluable science to help expand human presence off the earth. The most challenging part has been balancing family and having a tricky work schedule, but that is the nature of working on a program that is in operation 24/7.
Q: What are your overall career goals? A: A running goal I have is to not stay in one position for too long. I have about a five-year window, and I like to be moving on and learning a new system and role. This keeps me motivated and interested in my work. Setting too specific of a goal can set you up for frustration or disappointment when it doesn’t happen within your desired timeline.

F rom left, the Hammond Family: Hadley (7), Drew, Jennifer, Harper (5), and Bentley (dog).
Q: What do you like to do when you’re not working? A: When I’m not working I’m usually busy taking the girls to gymnastics, dance or birthday parties. We are a huge sports family, so whatever the season, we have some form of sporting event on the TV.
Q: Do you miss anything about WBL or Minnesota? A: I miss hockey games, both watching on TV and attending. I miss experiencing the changing of seasons, but I do not miss winters. I especially miss spending time on the lake. Texas lakes are not what I would call anything you want to swim in.
Q: Do you have advice for area students considering a career in aerospace engineering? A: There are so many directions you can go with an aerospace engineering degree. Do some research on companies that hire aerospace engineers and the different job roles they have. Be open to moving to different parts of the country! There are so many opportunities, don’t be afraid to go find them!

7 uses for fallen leaves By the time autumn hits full swing, many trees will have shed their leaves for the season, and the last vestiges of red, yellow and orange magic will have faded to brown. Raking, blowing and collecting leaves becomes the primary chores of lawn and yard maintenance, and presents most homeowners with large piles of gathered leaves to tend to. It is impossible to count just how many leaves fall to the ground each year, or just how many pounds of leaves get collected curbside, but the numbers are substantial. Cleaning up leaves is considerable work, but not all of those leaves need to be carted away. In fact, there are several different uses
of leaves that can be beneďŹ cial. 1. Spread leaves as a protective mulch to cover tender perennials or root crops/bulbs in the ground. The leaves will form a natural insulating cover that keeps the soil and the plants within a bit warmer over winter. 2. Create a pile of leaves that will break down and form a crumbly, compost-like material called leaf mold. Even though leaf mold may sound like a blight, it’s actually a good amendment to garden soil, improving its structure and ability to hold water. Leaf mold also attracts beneďŹ cial organisms that are vital in healthy soil. 3. Brown leaves can be added to green materials in compost piles to
improve the health of the compost being formed. According to the healthy living resource Care2, the ideal ratio is 75 percent brown to 25 percent green materials in compost. Turn compost piles regularly to aerate them. 4. Store dried, mulched leaves in a dry spot so they can be used in the spring as a weed barrier for spring plantings. They will keep weeds at bay and help retain soil moisture to ensure small sprouts have the resources to grow. 5. Use shredded leaves as a lawn supplement. Pass a lawn mower over leaves left on the lawn to break them down into pieces too small to rake. This will help keep the lawn healthy
throughout the winter without blocking out needed sunlight. 6. Bag dried leaves and pack them tightly together in cold areas of the home, such as basements or garages. They can act as added insulation. Bags of leaves also can be placed around planting containers to protect them from frost. 7. Gather a few of the best-looking leaves and preserve them. Use an iron on a low setting and press leaves between two pieces of waxed paper until the waxed paper seals together. Or use clear contact paper to achieve the same effect. Fallen leaves can be used in many different ways throughout the year. Submitted

Weather tidbits
Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake. Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.
WEATHER TIDBIT Last week I hinted that we were close to our first frost and many of you may have woken Saturday morning to a light frost on the ground, especially those of you in open and outlying areas. My neighborhood didn’t experience ground frost but I observed plenty of frost on roof tops and car windows. Many of us also marked this past week as the first time we turned on heat, as September ended in a string of much colder than normal days. Fall colors are in full swing north, while metro area trees are showing some color.
