White Bear American Legion celebrates centennial year BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Historic bell dedicated at new location Above: LIn Lindbeck speaks at the dedication of the historic Washington School bell at its new location in front of the district center during the White Bear Lake All School Reunion. He attended Washington School from kindergarten through the 6th grade and graduated from White Bear Lake High School in 1958. At left: White Bear High School Class of 1941 graduate Dick Arcand poses for a photo at the district center. Probably the oldest graduate to attend the reunion, the 97-year-old had just come from Gloria’s Shortest Marathon with daughter Mary. She lives next door to Dick, a WWII veteran who still resides in his own home. Find more photos on page 10A.
“White Bear has enough young men who are eligible to membership in the Legion to have a strong chapter if they all take an interest.” Those words in the September 1919 White Bear Press announced the beginnings of American Legion Post 168, chartered a month later by Congress Oct. 8, 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization dedicated to “mutual helpfulness.” That first meeting Sept. 8 was held in the city council chambers and called to order by Harrison Fuller, city editor of the St. Paul Dispatch. Those attending formed a committee chaired by Leslie Palmer to get the ball rolling for a charter. It was also decided to call it White Bear Post. In November, 32 World War I servicemen became charter members. J.W. Mattimore was elected first commander. The veterans had familiar surnames like Long, Rief, Michaud, Webber, Labore, Auger, Garceau, Clark and LaRue. They wrote the constitution and bylaws. A history of the Legion's origins was written by Edna Adam in 1980 for the White Bear Press and it is her three-page typed summary that provided much of the information here. SEE CENTENNIAL, PAGE 11A
Visiting cranes adopt White Bear couple BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Like the swallows of Capistrano, a pair of sandhill cranes have returned to the same White Bear backyard every August for the last 10 years. The cranes, affectionately nicknamed Guido and Gloria, visit Paul Moe and Debbie Dorner August through November. The couple live in the Bay Lane townhomes off White Bear Parkway. The male always arrives first, usually in March or April, and taps on the sliding glass door looking for handouts of shelled corn. The imposing Guido is about 4 1/2 feet tall, larger than the female. “He doesn't like to be ignored,” Moe said. “If I leave the room, he squawks, like he's saying,
NEWS 651-407-1230 whitebearnews@presspubs.com
'Where do you think you're going?'” Moe has been documenting dates of the cranes' arrival and departure for the last nine years. Habitually, the male crane disappears shortly after his arrival, then shows up again in early August with his mate and colt, the word for a sandhill chick. All three arrive once the colt can fly, noted Moe, who has done his research on sandhills. He doesn't know where they nest but Moe knows the birds prefer wetland areas safe from predators. “They do not like cats or dogs,” he said. “If a dog gets close, they can disappear in the blink of an eye.” Every day, the crane family comes to the couple's backyard and taps on the window.

Voluntary subscription gift
I
n the wake of our neighboring newspaper group, Lillie Suburban News, closing its doors, a family came in to talk to me about making a significant voluntary subscription payment. They said they wanted to buy future subscriptions for Cerenity Senior Care center residents in White Bear Lake, so the papers would continue to be delivered. This husband and wife team told the story of how a parent was at the care center and said the newspaper was an important part of her week. This was so impactful that they have pre-paid for papers to be made available to seniors at Cerenity and neighboring senior centers for years to come. This newspaper relies on several sources of revenue. The primary source is advertising revenue, from the display-style marketing on the pages of this paper to the inserts that ride along. Secondary sources of revenue are subscriptions, digital marketing and public notices. Our regular readers and longtime subPublisher’s scribers are aware that twice annually we conduct a subscription drive. For View those of you new to the area or a new reader, here is a quick explanation of how Carter Johnson we operate: Our mission is to be the best source of it news and information. We want to provide a community vibrant community newspaper that helps connect residents to each other and to happenings in local government, schools, community groups, businesses, sports and entertainment. We follow traditional journalistic standards — standards that other media outlets, such as the worldwide web, never had and may never have. We make a clear distinction between advertising and news, and acknowledge when copy is paid. Our goal is to provide our advertisers a tried and true way to promote their products or services to a local audience, but we do not let advertising dictate our news coverage as many magazines do. Press Publications’ newspapers utilize a variety of delivery styles. We are one of very few newspapers in the country still using youth carriers to deliver papers. We also use adult carriers and motor route drivers, and in some areas, our products are delivered through the United States Postal Service. If you ever experience issues with your delivery service, give us a call and we will work to figure it out. We are also one of a shrinking number of newspapers utilizing a voluntary subscription model. Most “free” papers have had to move to subscriptions to stay alive. If you are an online news junkie, then you know most digital news outlets require a payment after a couple of page views or to access the stories you really want to read. The obvious question one may ask as they consider a subscription is why would anyone pay for a free paper? Let me share what your paid subscription does. First, it offsets the rising cost of newsprint. The last few years we have had significant increases in the price of paper. Paid subscriptions subsidize the cost of delivery, allowing the paper to be available to everyone in the community who wants it. As always, tips are passed on to our carriers. Finally, subscriptions help us employ professional journalists who provide our readers a newspaper rich in relevant local topics. We need your support through a subscription more than ever. In many of our markets, we have limited participation among readers, yet we know regular readers enjoy our product. If you enjoy reading this paper, help us make sure we can continue to keep publishing the news that you use by becoming a subscriber or continuing your subscription. Again, thank you to all our past supporters who have been with us through the ups and downs. Thank you to our subscribers who help us stay grounded in your neighborhood and rooted in your community. If you have read or learned something that was beneficial to your family or life in our community in the past month, I would like to ask you to subscribe today by calling our office, filling out the envelope or flyer that was in our newspapers or subscribe online at presspubs.com. Thank you for your consideration. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications. Distributed weekly in:
News media first and most effective means for exercising First Amendment freedoms
F
or centuries, citizens have turned to their local news publication for local breaking and investigative news, as well as to learn about hot-button issues in their communities. In the last 15 years, with the rise of digital communications, many readers have changed their preferences to digital formats and social media over print for their news. But long before social media came onto the scene, news media have enabled us to exercise all five freedoms. As we celebrate National Newspaper Week, we are awareMovers & raising ness about our five First Shakers Amendment David Chavern freedoms, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution — freedom of the press, speech, religion, petition and assembly — and the ways the news media help promote and protect those freedoms. Those five freedoms seem so basic, and we sometimes may take them for granted, but there are surprisingly few channels that allow us to exercise all five freely. Through news media, citizens
can express themselves and advocate for their causes, whether they be political, religious or just personally meaningful to us; share our thoughts and ideas; petition the government; and plan assemblies. News media can be our own personal amplifier for sharing our unique perspectives, as well as a wider lens through which to view and engage with our communities. Much in the way we use social media (but more civil, in my opinion), news media offer a forum, for the people who matter most – the members of our own community. But beyond offering a means for citizens to exercise their First Amendment freedoms, news media also help protect those rights: through their role as government watchdogs. News media are often the first to report when government officials try to overstep their bounds and hinder Americans’ right to information, made available through freedom of the press. Journalists work to keep the legislative process transparent and hold government officials accountable. Perhaps because of our prominent mention in the Constitution, news media are uniquely committed to their pursuit of the truth. But news publishers are finding

themselves currently without a way to recoup their investment in quality news, which puts the future of journalism in jeopardy. The tech platforms currently do not pay for their use of news content, making it increasingly difficult for publishers to reinvest in journalism. The Alliance has called for news publishers to be granted an antitrust safe harbor to be able to come together to negotiate for better business terms with the platforms. This is the best solution to correcting the imbalance in the digital ecosystem and ensuring a sustainable future for digital news. We are encouraged that a bill that would do just that – the Journalism Competition & Preservation Act – was introduced in the House and the Senate earlier this year. News media have made our democracy stronger, our citizenry more informed and engaged, and our Constitutional rights secure and strong. As we mark National Newspaper Week, we ask that anyone who relies on news for their information — whether in print or online — to ask Congress to support the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act.

manager, for instituting a recycling program. Their company goal is zero waste among 200 employees through implementation of an organics recyclables program. “We want to eliminate one garbage pickup a week, which amounts to 42,000 pounds of waste a year from our facility,” Haine said. “Financially, it makes a lot of sense.” Garbage is taxed; recyclables are not. Business of the Year: JDog Junk Removal & Hauling. Owner Josh Helm has contributed to the local economy in an outstanding manner, Hennen said. Helm is a 2004 graduate of White Bear and an Army veteran who started the company April 2018.

H2O For Life. Her organization focuses on the global water crisis by engaging, educating and inspiring youth to learn about the crisis and take action around the world. Each year, between 150 to 200 schools participate with H2O for Life. Those students, Hall noted, raise on average $250,000 for water projects around the world. In the last 11 years, the nonprofit has funded about 1,000 school projects and engaged over 800,000 U.S. youth. “Water changes everything,” she said. Fox 9 Chief Meteorologist Ian Leonard was keynote speaker at the luncheon. A longtime supporter of Special Olympics, his message emphasized purpose and passion and waking up every day asking what we can do to help others. Leonard is also a skin cancer survivor who stressed the use of daily sunscreen.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Placement of Water Gremlin press release As a longtime White Bear Lake resident, I have come to value the Press as a source of local news and look forward to doing so for years to come. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do. Unfortunately, I am motivated to write to you today to address your handling of an important local matter. For months, coverage of Water Gremlin's issues have made the front page of the White Bear Press; however, the story of its "significant progress in moving to an emission-free coating alternative" was nowhere at all to be found in Section A of the Oct. 2 edition, but on page 19B. This is inconsistent with my expectations for two reasons. First, this is the very sort of information that your readership both wants and needs to know. Relegating the story to the second-to-thelast page minimizes its importance and likely diminishes dissemination of the information. Second, I feel that this was handled unfairly. Reporting issues on the front page but then sharing progress toward resolutions on the de facto back page does not give the
subject company, in this case Water Gremlin, the credit it deserves, I fully understand that this particular article was a press release. As such, I will agree that it in itself does not meet "front page" criteria. I fi nd it unfortunate that there was no additional reporting that might have given the report of progress greater visibility. Thank you for your consideration. Matthew Morse White Bear Lake
Bears’ school spirit refreshing Watching the White Bear Lake homecoming parade was a blast for this 1973 graduate. The school spirit was refreshing.

Better communication needed from city
Welcome from one graphic designer to another
The city of Vadnais Heights seems to suffer from a serious failure to timely communicate with their residents. A while back, the city decided to change all of the water meters in the city. The residents were told that the process would take some time, and that the homeowner would be contacted. Arrangements would then be made to install the new meters. I have patiently been awaiting contact from the city for well over a year now. Today, I heard from the city for the very fi rst time. I am suddenly being threatened with additional fees if I do not contact the city immediately and arrange to have a new meter installed. All of a sudden, I have to contact the city without delay, or incur a fi nancial penalty. Poor planning by the city should not make it an urgent priority for the community. This is the time of year when many of the residents travel south for a few months. Why should these residents be penalized for the city’s poor communication and lack of planning? Donald Jorgenson Vadnais Heights
As a former graphic designer for Ladysmith News in Wisconsin, Lighthouse News in Bridgewater and Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, and Lakeville News in Minocqua, Wisconsin, I would personally like to welcome your new graphic designer, Lindsay Zigan, to the White Bear Press. Congratulations, Lindsay. If you like putting ads together in a manner both pleasing to local business owners and us, the reader/ customers, you will enjoy your work as much as I did.

Bell dedicated at All-School reunion At last, the Washington School bell has a permanent home. The bell was dedicated Sept. 28 in front of the old White Bear High School (now the District Center). Lin Lindbeck, Class of '58, was asked to say a few words at the dedication. He attended the elementary school and remembers the bell well. “The sound brought students to attention,” he said, recalling a kid named Gary “Red” Erickson who hung on the rope to ring the heavy cast-iron bell. Lindbeck thanked Pelco Construction owners Don and Cindy Peltier for donating time and labor for the monument's brick foundation. The Medicine Chest donated the securely fastened white bear to its right. Washington School was completed in late 1895 by local contractor David Hanna, according to Sara Markoe Hanson, executive director of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.
“The bell, which was installed almost immediately, was an important element of the school day. When the school was scheduled for demolition in the 1970s, there were many plans for relocation of the bell, including incorporation into the design of Washington Square apartments now located on the site. Those plans never came to be and the bell was lost in storage for some time,” she said. According to Lindbeck, the bell was in Mark Peltier's garage awaiting repair for a crack. The bell was resurrected some 20 years later and has now been installed in a monument in front of the original White Bear High School building. Hanson noted that high school students would have attended classes at Washington School prior to the construction of the first White Bear High School building in 1918/19. Debra Neutkens

Lincoln Elementary named among top U.S. schools BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Lincoln Elementary was recently named a 2019 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. The school is among 10 in the state and 362 in the country to receive the honor, based on academic performance or closing achievement gaps. Principal Dan Schmidt thinks the Lincoln Elementary community is what helped it achieve the designation of Exemplary High Performing School. After the school was nominated by the Minnesota Department of Education, Schmidt had to complete an application to be reviewed by the federal department. “One part of the application really made me think more deeply about this honor,” he remembered. He was to answer what strategies the school uses to achieve academic success. “I took a whole different angle on it,” he said. “Instead of talking about the intervention process and professional development, I talked about what we are as human beings in this school.” He noted how school staff display and teach on empathy to create a good learning atmosphere. “We are very empathetic in this school and we will do whatever we can to support that child and that family,” he noted. “If we are truly empathizing with those in the community, we meet the needs of others and fight against the human nature of serving ourselves.” Also included in the application are questions about the school's connections with the community, curriculum, arts, intervention, extracurricular opportunities, professional development and school leadership. Schmidt has been principal at the school for 14 years. Lincoln has not been named a Blue Ribbon school

before; schools are eligible every five years. Students from the school described how they felt about Lincoln being awarded as a top school, and what they like about their school. “It is a really refreshing environment and all the teachers don't just teach. They make it in a way that you can really understand what they are teaching. They make it fun. They tell stories,” said fi fth grader Nawal Mohamed. “Everyone works in a community to make Lincoln school a better place,” added third grader Alexa Paradise. School volunteers do things around the community — such as raking leaves, delivering May Day baskets to seniors, making blankets for infants
of single mothers and creating placemats for Meals on Wheels. “Basically, every school can be a better place; you've just got to believe in it,” said third grader Ray Lorang. One of the school's new ideas this year that Lorang is impressed with is “Bear Time.” The school volunteered to pilot one of the district's Big Sleuth ideas to create more opportunities for students to get physical activity, Schmidt explained. Third graders are allotted two extra 15-minute slots during the day to run outside or do a physical indoor activity, in addition to regular recess time. Different grade levels are testing out different amounts of extra physical activity time. “Bear Time” helps students be more energized to study, Lorang said.
The school also hosts the district's Explorations program for highly gifted students. Fifth grader Vivian Finger said she appreciates the choices she gets to make regarding her learning. “We get a more advanced curriculum so we are not bored in class,” she noted. The program is made up of third through fi fth graders. Finger said she was invited to the program based on her test scores when she was younger. She has attended Lincoln Elementary since kindergarten, but the program includes students who began at other schools throughout the district, as well. Lincoln has hosted the program five years, Schmidt said. The school has several other notable programs, including a theater program sponsored and supported by staff; special education programs, including a cluster-based EBD program; a partnership with the YMCA for swimming lessons; and community-building events throughout the year. “It's not just about academics,” Schmidt said. “It's about enjoying ourselves as a community … to support one another in a meaningful and trusting way.” As the youngest ones sum it up: “It's fun having nice teachers,” said fi rst grader Parker Dargay. Schmidt will be traveling to Washington, D.C., in November with a teacher and Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak to receive the National Blue Ribbon Award at a ceremony. “Lincoln has a long-standing reputation of being a close-knit neighborhood school,” Kazmierczak said. “This connected culture, along with the dedication of our staff members, families and overall community, has led to strong relationships and the great learning that is happening with all of our students.” The school plans to hold a community celebration in the spring.

Water Gremlin update: The path to today Water Gremlin issued this update Oct. 1 to inform the community of the company's efforts following its release of toxic TCE emissions and subsequent shutdown of its battery terminal coating process in August. WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — A great deal has happened during the past 15 months since we discovered our noncompliance and reported it to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) on July 30, 2018. We are working hard to improve our environmental performance, share updates regularly and implement changes in our operations. We have committed to the MPCA and our community that we will continue to thoroughly assess all aspects of our operation and our property to identify and address any issues of concern. We will work with third-party experts and the MPCA to accomplish this assessment and share our work with our community. We are steadfast in our commitment to rebuild trust, protect our workers and our neighbors, and continue to be a productive member of the community. Following are important details of activities that have transpired: • Water Gremlin identified its noncompliance and voluntarily reported it to the MPCA on July 30, 2018. The MPCA website might cause confusion because it indicates that the noncompliance was discovered through a January 2019 “investigation” and does not mention the self-audit, voluntary disclosure and detailed information we shared

with the MPCA between July 2018 and January 2019. • Water Gremlin informed the MPCA in July 2018 that we planned to investigate and implement a transition away from using a volatile organic compound (VOC) coating process and toward a non-hazardous air pollutant and nonVOC process. We continue to work diligently to deliver on that commitment. • On Sept. 16, 2019, Water Gremlin issued a community update sharing that MPCA-approved testing showed no t-DCE or TCE vapor concentrations beyond the footprint of our building at levels representing concern or requiring action. Soil vapor results from locations selected by the MPCA nearest to residential homes indicated no concentrations above risk level of either TCE or t-DCE. The MPCA has had those full soil vapor test results since Sept. 3, 2019. • We have converted a portion of our operations to produce battery terminals with water-based coatings. This means that 40% of our battery terminal operations are VOC-free. • Water Gremlin proactively communi-

cated its plan to the MPCA to achieve compliance with air emission limits through pollution prevention rather than solely through pollution controls. • When soil vapor testing showed vapors below our building slab, Water Gremlin responded to the MPCA’s concerns by voluntarily agreeing to cease coating with t-DCE until more information was gathered on the extent of any vapor concerns. • To address vapor concerns, Water Gremlin took quick action to retrofit its equipment to improve vapor capture in the building and to capture and control
any t-DCE vapors that might be in the air space below our slab. Those vapors are routed and captured in a carbon filter system, which has been operating since Aug. 23, 2019. Our priorities — listed in order — include (1) protecting people, (2) protecting the environment and (3) getting back to work to ensure employment for our 340 workers. We believe that priorities 1 and 2 have reached a point where we can resume full operations. We look forward to continued conversations with the MPCA and promise to share updates with you along the way.
Condemnation proceedings begin on nuisance property BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — At what point do neighbors and a city have the right to take over private property that has been a nuisance? At the Sept. 17 Mahtomedi City Council meeting, City Attorney Bridget Nason said the city could legally begin the condemnation process of the home at 520 Robert Court under Minnesota state Statute 463. Nason said the homeowner must be given the opportunity to bring the property into compliance. If the homeowner fails to comply, the legal process of condemnation could begin, in which the city obtains approval from the court to intervene and mitigate the hazard, she said. Nason's explanation came after another Robert Court resident, Gail Cederberg, appeared at the podium asking the city when something might be done about the eyesore and stench emanating from her neighbor's property. Cederberg appeared once again at podium during the Oct. 1 meeting to say she'd been regularly checking the council agenda and minutes to see if she could find any updates about the nuisance house. “I thought there would be a determination,” she said. But there's still trash in the yard, the garage is still full, trash is blowing
over to her house and no one came to talk to her. “I don't know if there's a timetable, but I'm going to keep pushing,” she said. Mayor Judson Marshall asked Cederberg to wait a bit and see what happened. Cederberg quickly advised him she'd already been waiting 13 years for relief from the stinky house next door. The property owner is listed as Layla Douglass. City Attorney Jay Karlovich updated Cederberg on the Statute 463 process of mitigating the hazard of a nuisance property, assuring her that “everything was proceeding as we said it would be.” After a short discussion and presentation, by a vote of 3-0 (Councilmen Tim Deans and Richard Brainerd were absent), council approved a reso-
lution and order to repair or remove hazardous conditions at 520 Robert Court. Ben Eggan of the White Bear Lake Area Department of Inspections presented the timetable of events as activities at the home unfolded. On June 19, Eggan's department received a call about the home, after which he, Code Enforcement Officer Marco Barton and Rental Housing Specialist Jeff Rose went to the site to meet with the owner. The homeowner provided access on June 28, and the subsequent inspection revealed that the home needed to be deemed uninhabitable. The owner then moved out, and an order was posted on the door giving her 45 days to clean up the property of clutter, trash, dog feces and urine. Not a lot was accomplished after 45
days, Eggan said, and attempts were made to secure estimates for the cost of cleaning it. Bids for the cleanup and restoration work were high — more than $100,000 — so assessing the property was not an option, Eggan said. “It became a monstrous number for the city to take on,” Karlovich said. Instead, the property owner was offered 30 more days to figure out the problem on her own. After the 30-day extension, the property owner hired a company to come in and remove the contents. On compliance day (Sept. 16), Eggan went to the site and took pictures. Contents in the house were removed, but the garage was still full and untouched. The dog was gone, but a recreational trailer and shed were still full. The site was still dilapidated, and

ammonia levels were still high. As the homeowner still had not complied by the final date of Sept. 16, a memo to her was prepared. A resolution was drafted for council’s approval to start 463 proceedings. On approval of the resolution, the city will give the homeowner notice of an additional 20 days to clean the place, and then the matter will enter into the court system, Karlovich said. The 463 actions need to be a process, Karlovich said. An order must be served on the property owner and mortgage company, which will likely result in a contested
proceeding. The city will seek to obtain a court order from the judge saying it can go into the property and abate the nuisance. “We will move as quickly as we can, but the court system is slow, so I don't know how quickly that will be,” he said. Once the city receives the court order, staff will enter onto the private property and take care of everything, Karlovich said. “City staff has made every effort to resolve the situation in a better way than this, and it has not worked,” Councilman Steve Wolgamot said. “We have no choice but to move forward.”

SANDHILL: Cranes return every August to same backyard FROM PAGE 1A
In return for corn, the threesome provides the homeowners a little entertainment. “If the colt gets out of line, the parents peck it as a reprimand. The colt will do silly stuff, too, like a little kid,” Moe observed. They've watched the crane parents teach their colts to dance. Sandhills mate for life and attract their partner via a courtship dance with moves like jumping into the air, bobbing their heads and stretching their wings. Colts stay with the parents up to 10 months after birth. The family usually stays until early to mid-November. Moe believes they wait for just the right wind currents before flying south. “They have prehistoric habits,” he pointed out, noting that the birds have been around for 2 million years. Their large wingspans make them skilled soaring birds that use thermals to obtain lift. They're fast flyers and can fly 500 miles a day at altitudes of 7,000 feet, according to an online search. Sandhills can live up to age 20. And they love corn. The cranes are omnivorous, however. Moe can attest to that. He watched Guido spear a mouse by their bird feeder once and proceed to shake it until it ripped in half. The crane

then shared the meal with the female. Their neighbors are in on the enjoyment, too. When Moe and Dorner went out of town, neighbors picked up the

Adam served as Auxiliary president in 1949-'50. Her scrapbooks and photo albums are among the treasure trove of memorabilia discovered in the Legion basement; now in safekeeping with the historical society. In her summary, Adam noted that membership picked up after 1945 when men from World War II started returning home. Average attendance, she wrote, was 35 to 45 at meetings, which were held in the library. Numbers were growing, and that meant the Legion needed its own home. A carnival in the park behind the Post Office raised the necessary funds. “The post cleared several thousand dollars, enough to give a start on buying a clubhouse,” Adam recalled. “Sometime in late 1945, the present Legion Club at Banning and Third Street, known as Hardy's Corner and later LeVasseur's Store, was purchased.” Lyndon Long was first commander in the new quarters. February 1952 marked the grand opening of a completely remodeled and redecorated club and hall, Adam recorded. “By now the trend to suburban living attracted many of the WWII and Korean veterans to White Bear Lake. Many of these veterans joined the Post so membership of 32 increased to 385.” Vietnam veterans also began contributing to membership rolls. Remodeling was done again in 1979 “in keeping with the modernization and beautification of the community,” Adam wrote. “Post 168 is proud of its accomplishments of service to God and Country and has contributed much to our community through American Legion programs, undertaking many projects and cooperating with other civic groups.” The Post sponsors an American Legion baseball team, a B Bantam hockey team, Boys State, a clown club and Sons of The Legion chapter, she noted. It also organizes a blood drive, the annual Memorial Day parade and participates in the Manitou Days parade. A recent project, Adam pointed out, was the replacement of five trees on Clark Avenue as a living memorial to White Bear Lake veterans of all wars. One of the Post's outstanding “Americanism” projects, she continued, was the presentation of a new large American flag to be flown from the city flagpole. Americanism is a word used early on in describing Legion objectives. Online, it is defined as a set of United States patriotic values aimed at creating a collective American identity. The American Legion was early and firm in its opposition to anti-democracy ideologies, wrote the editor of The American Legion Magazine in a January 2019 article. “They had fought to make the world safe for democracy.” To the founders of the nation's largest veterans organization, the best kind of “ism” was Americanism.

When Lindsay Schlichting saw small custom-made “ginger cottages” at an Ohio buying show, she got an idea. Why not have historic White Bear landmarks replicated to scale to sell at The Medicine Chest? Schlichting is a 20-year employee of the downtown “polar bear store” and main buyer. So, she bounced the idea off Sara Markoe Hanson at the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. Hanson liked it. She suggested three iconic buildings for the first installment: The Fillebrown House; White Bear Town Hall and the White Bear train depot. Schlichting photographed the buildings and sent them to the company, emphasizing the desired detail.

The residents here are fantastic. These families go above and beyond for each other day in and day out. If someone is sick, neighbors bring chicken noodle soup. We know everyone's name. It has a different feel here. It's a very comfortable place.” Built in 2000 by Lang Nelson Associates Inc., the 80-unit complex is for active, independent seniors 55 and older. Occupancy rate is 100% and there is a waiting list. According to Schram, only five people have moved during her tenure and that was because they needed additional care. Debra Neutkens

It was a huge success again with our donations, of over $11,000, all going to the White Bear Emergency Food Shelf. That will put a lot of nutritious meals on the tables of those less fortunate that need temporary help. Thank you, volunteers,: Ron Carpenter, Peggy & john Parenteau, Jr. Mary Burfeind, Tim Bauman, Sheryl & Bob Cunningham, Lyle & Yvonne Gatzmeyer, Larry LaRue, Mike Stary, Paul Munns who leads us off with Sparkiy and the staff at Mueller Mortuary. What great troopers they are! Thanks go to the sponsors of the shirts: Donatelli’s Restaurant, VFW Post 1782 and Auxiliary, Rudy’s Red Eye & Country Inn and Abbott Paint and Carpet. Thanks to the food vendors that donate all the giveaway foods: Mueller Mortuary for the White Castles, Mike LaBelle Realty for the water, Grandma’s Bakery for the doughnut holes, Gary LaRue for the ice cream bars, Caribou Coffee on Hwy 96 and Mike DeWeese for the subs at Friday night’s open house. My thanks also for the promotion and support of Perry & Amanda from the food shelf, Carter, Patti and Paul of the White Bear Press, Fr. Talbot & Casey Green at St. Mary’s church.

What a terrible week for watching Loons. Rain, rain go away! The first break we had was this morning. It was disheartening, however, to walk down to our boat and see another foot of shoreline gone. It was great to finally get out on the lake and take in the sun and blue sky. We were delighted, at long last, to find a large flock of Coots gathering in and around the bulrushes on the southwest edge of the War Zone. Fortunately, there was not an Eagle in sight, so we could watch the Coots weave in and out of the bulrushes at their own pace. At some point, our motor spooked the flock and they took off en masse. What a sight. Green feet, white bills, and grey wings all in a frenetic blur. This has been an odd fall. The Coots’ arrival is three weeks behind last year. We made our way around the entire lake, but did see a single juvenile Loon. The Gulls have moved on from the WBYC dock. We did spot a pair of Wood Ducks in flight, along with one adult Loon, obviously way behind in its migration schedule. Other than those sightings, White Bear Lake is notably lacking in avian activity and energy. Fingers are crossed that the Grebes, Common Mergansers, Ring-necked Ducks, and Buffleheads will make their annual stop in the next few weeks.

Bears break loose for 35-13 win at Roseville BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
With a chance to cut loose against a struggling opponent, White Bear Lake did just that with a 35-13 win over Roseville Area there Friday evening, Oct. 4. “We got off to a good start, we executed, we didn’t shoot ourselves in the foot, and our defense did a good job of not giving up a big play,” coach Ryan Bartlett assessed. “Our line blocked really well.” The Bears (3-3) led 28-0 at halftime, rushed for 247 yards in the game and completed 12 of 13 passes for 162 yards against the Raiders (0-6). Brice Peters scored on runs of 31 and four yards as he rolled up 99 yards in 13 carries and made a leaping catch for a 39-yard gain on a pass. Cam Zaleski barged for 127 yards on 13 carries, including one 43-yard burst. Jeff Odamtten had a five-yard touchdown run,
an interception, and kicked five extra points. Branden Berwald completed 10 of 11 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns, to Moses Hancock from 21 yards and Sammy Russ from 16 yards, each on well-placed short passes that gave the receiver a full head of steam to run with the ball. Russ caught five for 66 yards and Hancock two for 43. “Branden gets better every week,” Bartlett said. “He loves football, and he works very hard at it. Every week we give him a little more to do and he’s always answered the call.” Will Flemons, Jeff Odamtten and Zach Kuyava intercepted passes as the Bears held Roseville to 10-for-24 passing for 104 yards. The defensive backfield of Oxton, Flemons, Odamtten and Anders Fischer broke up several passes and kept all gains short. The Bears will play at Lakeville North (5-1) on Friday night.

Zephyr swim, dive team remains undefeated Tartan thumps Zephyrs gridders 41-14 The undefeated Tartan Titans were too much for Mahtomedi on Friday evening, Oct. 4, handing the Zephyrs a 41-14 football loss in Oakdale. Tartan (6-0) tallied six rushing touchdowns, two each by Jaylon Washington and Tien Dang, and one each by Brandon Lockhart and TJ Fields. Lockhart passed for 146 yards and the Titans ran for 180 yards. Josh Praml had both Zephyr touchdowns on 2-yard runs. Johnny DeVore passed for 105 yards and Praml rushed for 66 yards. The Zephyrs (2-4) will host Apple Valley (2-4) on Friday evening. Bruce Strand
Mahtomedi Swim and Dive improved to 5-0 on the season with recent wins over Simley and South Saint Paul. Zephyr highlights from the 98-87 win over Simley included first-place varsity finishes by Skylar Gillow Clowser, 100 fly; Adriel Showers, 100 free; Ryann Buttke, 100 breast; Lauren Anderson, Buttke, Ella Matson, and Elizabeth Hansen, 200 medley relay; and Buttke, Matson, Marin Seevers, and Showers, 200 free relay. Divers Zoe Bush, Kate Malinowski, and Katherine Schneider finished second, third, and fourth respectively. According to head coach Mike Goldman, the key for the Zephyr win was the team's ability to place second, third and fourth in the indi-
vidual events they did not win. The Zephyrs dominated South Saint Paul 97-75 by nabbing first in every swimming event. Top finishers included Gillow Clowser, 200 free and 100 back; Emmerson Buckley, 200 IM; Showers, 50 free; Matson, 100 fly and 500 free; Anderson, 100 free; Erin Fitzgerald, 100 breast; Buckley, Fitzgerald, Anderson, and Clare Fritsch, 200 medley relay; Buttke, Hansen, Maria Heinzen, and Fritsch, 200 free relay; and Talia Collins, Hansen, Anderson, and Showers, 400 free relay. Zephyr divers Malinowski, Schneider, and Bush nabbed second, third, and fourth places. The Zephyrs swim at home against Tartan on Oct. 10, and will

First loves: Sisters reap state horsemanship honors BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTED
Mia and Eva Haskins are clearly two teenagers in love. With their horses. The feeling is mutual as the Hugo sisters and their steeds have collected many horsemanship honors and had some great times. “My horse is named Ike. He is a super loving horse, and loves other horses. He tries to be friends with everyone,” said Mia, 14. Ike is six years old, mostly chestnut in color, with “just enough white on his belly” to be considered an American Paint, which is his breed, Mia said. Eva is 12, and her horse, Lulu, is just a year younger. Lulu is also chestnut, with a white face and legs and a splattering on the shoulders. “Lulu is a super sweet and steady horse,” Eva said, “not afraid of anything.” Eva adds, “Horses have always been my passion. Lulu teaches me lots. Horses have always been something that soothes me and makes me happy.” The White Bear Lake students have been on horses practically since they were born, taking after their mother, Kelly. “Me and Ike have a special bond,” Mia said. “We trust each other. I love him so much, but sometimes we have to be more businesslike, when we have to get something done.” Like preparing for competitions, which the sisters do frequently. Mia and Eva recently capped the 2019 season earning batches of ribbons at Western Saddle Clubs Association Champ Show during the State Fair. Mia earned the title of High Point/ Grand Champion, and a grand Dave Chavez saddle that goes to the rider earning the most points between the State Fair and WSCA Champ shows in late August and early September. At the Champ Show, Mia and Eva placed in the top 10 in every class they entered — each of which had 25 to 50 entrants who had placed first or second

in the year’s previous competitions. In showmanship (leading the horse in a pre-arranged pattern), Eva took second, Mia sixth. In English Pleasure (with English saddle and gear, judged on how the horse moves and behaves), Mia was fifth, Eva 10th. In English Equitation (the rider is judged on a pattern of maneuvers), Mia was first, Eva third. In Western Pleasure (western saddle and attire, judged mainly on how the horse composes itself), Mia was second, Eva seventh. In Western Horsemanship (same, except the rider is judged in a pattern of maneuvers), Mia was first and Eva second. “The judges are always looking for a horse that doesn’t fight against his rider and is moving in a very calm and collected manner,” Mia explained. “Also, the rider has to show connection with the horse in the legs and the reins, and the rider has to show poise while

they are riding with great leg position and great posture. “It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get to that point.” Ike and Lulu are boarded at Exclusive Equine Center, seven miles from the family’s Hugo home, under the training guidance of Melissa Bertz. They ride three or four times a week. Mia’s favorite event is English Equitation. Eva’s is Western Horsemanship. Their main circuit in the summer is Minnesota Northstar Paint Horse Club, a series of three two-day shows in Hinckley’s Double F Arena, with horses registered with the American Paint Horse Association (APHA). Mia was 13-and-under All-Around Champion. Eva won the 18-and-under
Novice All Around Champion for the circuit. They are daughters of Alan and Katie Haskins. Their mother was Katie Kelly when she captured a Minnesota High School Rodeo Association state title and earned a rodeo scholarship to a college in Utah. A CPA now, she taught riding lessons and trained horses for a time. Katie's mother owns Bunker Park Stables in Andover. The girls help their grandmother there on weekends. Mia, a freshman, also plays varsity tennis, and Eva, a seventh-grader, plays soccer on the C-1 team. Both are “A” students and involved in music. But while dedicated to these other pursuits, they can’t wait to get back to their first loves at the stable.

Bear girls tie for soccer title after loss to Ponies White Bear Lake girls soccer tied for the conference soccer championship after missing a chance for a solo crown by losing the finale. No. 4 ranked Stillwater scored three quick goals and handed the Bears a 5-0 setback in Stillwater there Thursday. The Bears had clinched at least a share of the title beating Woodbury 3-2 at home Tuesday. “We did take one on the chin. Stillwater played really well, and we clearly did not,” co-coach David Ashley said. “No excuses. Stillwater deserved the win. We'll learn from it and get ready for the section playoffs.” The Bears and Cretin-Derham Hall were each 8-1 in the Suburban East Conference and Stillwater was 7-2. The Bears beat CDH 2-1. Stillwater lost to CDH 3-0 and East Ridge 2-1. The Bears, who had won eight straight, took an 11-3-1 record in to Section 4AA. Seeded second behind Stillwater, they opened Tuesday against North St. Paul. Semifinals are Thursday, Oct. 10 and finals next Tuesday.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Downtown pharmacy rolling out new services The Medicine Chest Pharmacy is expanding its programs. To do that, a familiar face is returning behind the pharmacy counter: Jim Polucha is back. After a stint with a corporate pharmacy and before that, working at the now-closed Healthmart, Polucha will assist with providing vaccinations like flu and shingles, medication therapy management, comprehensive medical reviews and more community outreach Jim Polucha to seniors. Pharmacist in charge Mike Campfield said the Fourth Street drug store is looking for ways to survive and thrive. “The independent pharmacy as we know it is going by the wayside. For years, we've tried to figure ways to survive. We want people to realize the value of what we can offer.” Customers of Reed Drugstore may recognize Campfield's name. He worked at the White Bear pharmacy from 1987 until it closed in 2005. Polucha was at Medicine Chest for 10 years before leaving after longtime owner Dick Sundt died unexpectedly in 2016. Between the two pharmacists, they have a combined 35 years of service to the White Bear community. “We're excited,” Campfield
said. “Jim is back with us after stepping away for a time from Medicine Chest. It's a natural fit for him to rejoin us. Business is booming, and we needed help. Jim is the perfect person. He grew up here. We both have strong ties to the community. You don't see that in corporate pharmacies.”

Performance brings awareness to dyslexia To honor National Dyslexia Awareness Month, Children’s Performing Arts presents “Runaway Learning Machine,” an original play by Mark Rosenwinkel. The performance runs Oct. 11-13 at the Hanifl Performing Arts Center, 4941 Long Ave., in White Bear Lake. Adapted from the book of the same name by author Jim Bauer, the play chronicles Jim’s own struggle in the 1950s and '60s with undiagnosed dyslexia and a "try harder" educational system. The play is part of Children’s Performing Arts’ (CPA) unique leadership programming through theater arts. Every fall, its all-student cast puts on a production, known as Spotlight on a Cause, to bring awareness to an issue affecting youth. During rehearsals, students learn about the cause, raise funds for it, and choose a charity to which they donate funds. After each performance, students teach audiences (via talkbacks) what they’ve learned about the issue, extending awareness further into the community. This is one of many ways Children’s Performing Arts engages over 400 children, ages 5-18, each year to enrich their artistic development and help build community. Runaway Learning Machine runs 6:30 p.m. Oct. 10; 7 p.m. Oct. 11; 2 and 7 p.m. Oct. 12 and 3 p.m. Oct. 13. The Thursday performance is sensory-friendly and pay what you can. A panel of dyslexia experts will discuss the issue following the Thursday preview show. Educators can also earn two continuing education credits for attending the show and panel discussion. For ticket information, visit childrensperformingartsmn.org.

In lieu of snow day makeup, Mahtomedi schools plans e-learning BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
MAHTOMEDI — The district will allow up to five e-learning days this school year in lieu of making up for snow days. “The reason we are talking about e-learning is we had quite a few days last year where we had to call off school due to weather-related emergencies,” Superintendent Barb Duffrin told the Mahtomedi Public Schools board at a recent meeting. Last session, the Legislature made the decision that school districts could count up to five days of e-learning as instructional days when schools need to close due to inclement weather. The school board approved up to five days for the district. The specific plans of how the e-learning days will be executed are still to be worked out, Duffrin said, but the district wanted to notify families of the plan at the beginning of the school year. The general guidelines are underway. Families would be notified on an inclement weather day whether it will be an e-learning day, Duffrin said. Teachers would post learning activities for the students in their class. Expectations will vary by grade level. The district will try not to have too many e-learning days in a row, she added. Besides preventing snow makeup days in June, e-learning offers students an opportunity to learn how to practice mobile work skills. “We are becoming increasingly mobile in the way we do our work,” she said. It will also help students be the agents of their own learning, a goal of the district. “You are not able to be physically in school but that doesn't mean the learning stops,” Duffrin
noted. “There is a lot of benefit to this opportunity.” Duffrin also emphasized that e-learning isn't meant to take the place of classroom learning. “It's when we have no other option,” she explained. The district will welcome feedback on e-learning and will not necessarily use all five days. Accommodations will be made for students with special needs or who do not have access to the internet. Board Chair Lucy Payne commented that it is a great option as opposed to adding days to the school calendar in June. Last year, the district had to close for six days for snow or cold weather. In other action, the school board: • Approved a solar power project that will save the district $26,000 to $28,000 per year in electricity costs, according to Director of Business Services Bill Menozzi. The project with IPS Solar, New Energy Equity and Xcel Energy will save the district about 4 million kWh, or 7% of its electricity costs. The solar panels used will be from five different solar gardens in Chisago County, according to Brian Keenan, IPS Solar sales executive. There will not be any panels installed on district property. The board approved a 25-year agreement. • Approved a revised long-term facilities maintenance plan. A dehumidification project was moved to the 2022-23 fiscal year. • Approved the preliminary 2019 levy, payable in 2020. The levy will increase by no more than 0.82%, according to Menozzi. The levy will be a maximum of $14.8 million. A public hearing on the final levy amount will be held at district center at 7 p.m. Dec. 12.
Members of Eagle Brook Church, in a special meeting, voted Jason Strand as senior pastor, effective when Bob Merritt retires March 2020. Strand has been a teaching pastor alternating the pulpit with Merritt for the last five years. Merritt retires after 28 years serving as senior pastor. During his tenure, the church has grown rapidly with eight campuses surrounding the Twin Cities, and one in Rochester. The search committee has looked across the country at the top 100 churches for a potential candidate. After reviewing three or four potential candidates, Jason topped the list. When Merritt retires and Strand becomes senior pastor, Ryan Leak will become a member of the teaching team, speaking 10 to 12 times next year. Members of Eagle Brook, on Oct. 6, voted unanimously for Strand as senior pastor. Merritt commented that Strand is one of the best teaching pastors in the country and is in concert with the nine core beliefs of Eagle Brook. Eagle Brook’s mission is “empowered by God to reach others for Christ.” Merritt concluded by saying we give thanks to God for grace and mercy in development of the Eagle Brook ministry. Submitted
MATHOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — The City Council took the following action at its Oct. 1 meeting: • Following a public hearing, passed a resolution adopting special assessments for the Echo Lake Area Improvement Project. Total costs for the project amount to approximately $1.6 million. The total amount of the assessments is $518,500, or 32% of the funding sources. Other funding sources include the water and utility funds and municipal state aid dollars. The project included full bituminous replacement on the streets and trails in the Echo Lake area. Dunbar Way and Kilbirnie Way also received storm sewer and water main improvements. Assessment rolls will be on fi le at City Hall and available with the city clerk for public inspection. • Approved a resolution relating to the design of a surmountable curb along the Birchwood Road segment of the Lake Links Trail. In 2020 the city will reconstruct Birchwood Road, along which will run a segment of the Lake Links Trail. The trail will be an off-street trail behind the curb on the north side of Birchwood Road. A surmountable curb will allow bicyclists to enter and exit the trail easily to pass slower-moving cyclists or pedestrians without having to deal with a tall curb. Similar curbing exits along Lake Avenue N. along the north end of White Bear Lake and along Old White Bear Avenue on the southwest side of the lake. The default recommendation from city engineers is for raised curbing, which would provide protection for pedestrians and cyclists against faster-moving vehicular traffic. Any deviation from the raised curbing norm must include specific direction from council. • Approved a special council meeting for 5 p.m. Nov. 12 to canvass ballots for the municipal elections held on Nov. 5. • Approved a snowplowing agreement with the city of Pine Springs for plowing snow and de-icing Warner Avenue from O. H. Anderson School south to 62nd Street and 62nd Street east to Hilton Trail. • Approved a maintenance agreement for the stream under the bridge near Streetcar Park on the Lake Links Trail. The maintenance agreement with the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) and the successful bidder form must be processed before the required permit from RCWD is received for the bridge the city plans to build over the stream. • Adjourned to a closed session as allowed by Minnesota Statutes, Section 13D.05, Subd. 3 (b) for an attorney-client discussion regarding City of Mahtomedi v. Katherine Verzhbitska-Radzills, et al. in Washington County District Court, File No. 82-CV-17-5390. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

Quality of resources improves seniors’ quality of life Age brings wisdom, it’s said. Which is what came to mind when I read about a new study from the University of Alberta and University of Victoria in Canada showing that for seniors, the perception of having “enough” in the areas of health, financial resources and relationships enhances the overall quality of their lives. These folks didn’t require a perfect body, a big bank account or a dreamy relationship — the study participants (all senior citizens) simply wanted to have enough to meet their needs. “It’s about people’s perception of their position in life relative to their own standards and beliefs,” Gail Low, RN, PhD, lead researcher told me.
IS IT ENOUGH FOR YOU? Using a quality of life questionnaire developed in association with the World Health Organization, the researchers were interested in assessing whether older
adults’ perception of their health, financial circumstances, meaning and purpose in life, emotional support, and home and physical environment would influence their responses to the question, “How would you rate your quality of life?” It showed that for seniors, seeing themselves as having sufficient financial resources, good health or meaning in life positively influenced their overall quality of life. Quality of life is a complex perception to measure. This World Health Organization Quality of Life survey featured questions that ranged from, “How satisfied are you with the level of intimacy in your life?” to “To what extent do you find your life to be meaningful?” Participants were not asked to provide information specifically on how much money they had nor were health measures clinically taken — they were asked instead for their perceptions on these matters. Those giving positive answers to the specific questions also tended to rate their quality of life the highest overall.
LIFE LESSON It’s a basic finding, but, I think, an important one. If you have enough to meet your needs, if you have purpose and meaning and emotional connection in your life, and if you are healthy enough to live without extensive physical limitations, you’re likely to have a more positive view of your life. With media constantly providing theoretical examples of what we should all have or be, it is important to keep in mind that sometimes you can’t change your circumstances, but you can usually change your perception of them. It’s about what is right for you, not what the media says you should be or have. That goes far toward making life better for everyone… not just seniors.

Questions to ask when your doctor prescribes a new medicine Though few people may want to take medicine each day, prescription drugs prolong lives and help people manage conditions that might otherwise make it difficult to live life to the fullest. A 2017 survey from Consumer Reports found that 55% of people living in the United States take a prescription medicine. The survey also found that those who take prescription drugs use an average of four such medications. That figure might alarm some people, especially aging men and women whose bodies might be more susceptible to conditions that are often treated with medication. There’s no denying that prescription drugs can save lives. But men and women have a right to explore their options when doctors prescribe them medications, and asking the right questions when doctors suggest medication can help men and women decide if prescription medicine is their best option. To help men and women make the best decisions regarding their healthcare, the National Institute on Aging advises people to ask their physicians these questions when being prescribed a new medicine. • What is the name of the medicine, and why am I taking it? • Which medical condition does this medicine treat? • How many times a day should I take the medicine, and at what times should I take it? • If the prescription instructions say the medicine must be taken “four times a day,” does that mean four times in 24 hours or four times during the daytime?
• How much medicine should I take? • Should I take the medicine on its own or with food? Should I avoid certain foods and beverages when taking this medicine? • How long will it take this medicine to work? • Will this medicine cause problems if I am taking other medicines? • Can I safely operate a motor vehicle while taking this medication? • What does “as needed” mean? • When should I stop taking the medicine? • What should I do if I forget to take my medicine, ? • Can I expect any side effects? What should I do if I have a problem? • Will I need a refill, and how do I arrange that? When discussing medications with a physician, it’s imperative that men and women be forthcoming about any other medicines they might be taking under the guidance of other doctors. In addition, men and women should tell their physicians about any over-the-counter medicines or vitamins and supplements they are taking. Sharing such information can prevent potentially serious complications from arising. Medicine saves lives every day. Smart patients can help medicine do its job by learning about their medications and discussing them openly and honestly with their physicians.

Home security tips for seniors Seniors are often targeted by criminals. Though many criminals target seniors from afar via telephone or internet scams, criminals seek to enter seniors’ homes. The Bureau of Justice Statistics offers that, between 2003 and 2013, the ratio of property crime to violent crime was higher for the elderly and persons between the ages of 50 and 64 than it was for younger persons between the ages of 25 and 49. Home security is important for people of all ages, but especially so for seniors and aging individuals living alone. By following certain safety tips and developing a home security plan, seniors can feel safer at home.
• Lock windows and doors. It may seem like common sense, but failure to repeatedly lock windows and doors can, and often does, give burglars easy entry into the home. • Think about a smart doorbell. Technology now enables doorbells to provide a video feed to a person’s smartphone or tablet over WiFi. This allows residents to see who is at the door and speak to this person without having to open the door. Some products like Ring® will even register motion activity and record short videos from outside of the house. • Don’t share or leave keys. Avoid leaving keys under a mat or in a flower pot. Others

may be watching your actions and gain access to your home while you are away. • Ask for ID. When service people or other individuals come to the door, verify their credentials by asking to see some identification. • Get a home security system. The best protection against burglars is a home security alarm, states HomeSecurityResource.org. Such an alarm often deters burglars from breaking in. • Install a lockable mailbox. Locked mailboxes restrict access to sensitive information, such as bank account
numbers, sent in the mail. Make sure retirement checks or other payments are deposited directly into bank accounts instead of having them sent by check. • Use home automation. Home automation, or a “smart home,” can be utilized to turn on lights, set the thermostat, lock doors, and much more. • Adopt a dog. Dogs can be an asset to seniors. Dogs provide companionship and can bark or alert seniors if someone is around or inside of the home. Home security is serious business for seniors who are vulnerable to criminals.

Lillie newspaper group ceases operations NORTH ST. PAUL — The Lillie Suburban Newspaper group ceased operation after the Oct. 2, 2019 issue. The Lillie family has owned the newspaper group for 82 years. The newspaper company is the oldest and largest weekly publication company in the St. Paul area, primarily focused in Ramsey County. Ted H. Lillie, company owner, said it was too difficult to keep operating when advertising agencies have pulled away from print; the changing demographics of first-ring suburbs has also affected business. Lillie had a partner, Jeff Enright, who filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in August 2018. He said while it was difficult, they were able to come through that and pay their bills and were beginning to make money again. The company published eight newspapers in Shoreview, Roseville, Oakdale, Maplewood, New Brighton and St. Anthony, as well as the East Side Review in St. Paul and South-West Review covering South St. Paul and Inver Grove Heights.
Lillie indicated he recently lost his sales manager, who had purchased a business in northern Minnesota after losing interest in managing the sales department. Lillie and his wife will continue to live in Rochester,
where she is on staff at Mayo Clinic. The office at 2515 Seventh Ave. E. in North St. Paul is closed. Gene Johnson

ST. PAUL — Minnesotans with standard driver’s licenses or identification (ID) cards are strongly encouraged to consider applying for a REAL ID, so they’ll be prepared ahead of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s full REAL ID enforcement date of Oct. 1, 2020. Every air traveler 18 years of age or older will need a REAL ID, enhanced driver’s license or ID, passport or passport card or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States or enter federal facilities beginning Oct. 1, 2020. A standard Minnesota driver’s license will not be accepted for federal use as of that date, but it will still be a valid form of identification and valid for lawful driving privileges. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services division (DPS-DVS) wants to make sure anyone who needs a REAL ID as of Oct. 1, 2020, has one in hand. Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act establishes minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and ID cards. The Act refers to federal anti-terrorism laws and regulations that control access to federally regulated commercial aircraft and federal facilities requiring identification to enter, such as military bases or nuclear power facilities. "REAL ID is a coordinated effort by the federal government to improve the accuracy of driver's licenses and will greatly improve aviation security," said Minnesota TSA Federal Security Director Cliff Van Leuven. "We highly recommend that Minnesotans who plan to travel by air upgrade their standard driver's license to a REAL ID or enhanced license before the deadline." Any eligible Minnesotan can apply for a REAL ID now, but there is a fee in addition to the standard cost of the license or ID card. It depends on how early you renew: $2 for a renewal up to 17 months
before expiration; $4 for a renewal 18-29 months before expiration; and $6 for a renewal more than 29 months before expiration. When renewing early, four years will be added to the license or ID card’s original expiration date, so while an early renewal will cost a little more, the license or ID card will be valid for a longer period of time. A REAL ID is not needed to drive, register to vote or to apply for federal benefits.
Required documents for REAL ID Minnesota’s new driver services system, which launched in 2018, features an online pre-application tool at https:// driverservices.dps.mn.gov/EServices/_/. Minnesotans can provide a significant amount of information online before they arrive at a driver’s license office. The tool also includes a list of required documents for each license type. Minnesotans are required to provide additional documentation when applying for a REAL ID, compared to a standard driver’s license or ID card. A person must provide the following in person when applying: • One document proving identity, date of birth and legal presence in the United States. • One document proving Social Security number. • Two different documents proving current residency in Minnesota. Applicants must provide original documents or documents certified by the agency that issued them. Laminated documents will not be accepted. Digital documents shown on your phone or other electronic device will also not be accepted. A full list of accepted documentation is on the REAL ID website at https://dps. mn.gov/divisions/dvs/real-id. Submitted
