A YEAR LATER: Man living with deceased relatives charged PAGE 6A
New fire chief comes complete with expertise BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The new fire chief's experience includes overseeing rescue operations during the I-35W bridge collapse in 2007. Greg Peterson oversaw a crew of first responders from the Roseville Fire Department and the Lake Johanna Fire Department in the immediate aftermath of the collapse. The crew searched for survivors and bodies. They found a number of deceased victims and also found one man trapped alive in a vehicle. That man was featured in iconic footage streamed by CNN. On the wall in Peterson's new office overlooking Hwy. 61 is a signed photo of Johnny Gage from the show “Emergency.” Peterson watched the show with
his dad in the '70s when he was a child. But his interest in the profession goes back even further than that. “My mom tells me she knew I wanted to be a firefighter since the age of 5,” he noted. While lots of children have such interests, it never wore off for Peterson. As a junior at Mounds View High School, he began an Explorer program in Falcon Heights. He graduated from high school in '87 and became a part-time firefighter in '88. While receiving his associate's degree in fire protection, he worked as a part-time firefighter and EMT. Over the years, he has also worked for medical companies as a paramedic and flight operations manager. He also became volunteer assistant chief at SEE NEW CHIEF, PAGE 8A

DNR requests new trial in lake level lawsuit BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) wants a new trial. The agency filed a memorandum Oct. 5 with District Court asking two things: to amend the judge’s order and grant a new trial in the lake level lawsuit. “It’s very common after a court trial and entry of an order with findings of fact and conclusions of law for the losers to come back to the Court and ask the judge to change her mind,” said Robins Kaplan attorney Dick Allyn. He was part of the legal team representing the plaintiff in the lawsuit, the White Bear Lake Restoration Association, which prevailed in the Aug. 30 Court order. Signed by Assistant Attorney General Oliver Larson on behalf of the DNR and Commissioner Tom Landwehr, this latest motion noted that a court may grant a new trial for “errors of law” and may amend its findings of fact and judgement.
Larson’s motion listed a lengthy number of arguments, including one that states the court erred in its findings concerning White Bear Lake’s elevations: “The court makes several erroneous findings concerning the ‘normal’ or ‘typical’ lake elevations for White Bear Lake. In particular, the court found 1) that White Bear Lake fluctuates with a normal range of 923 to 925 feet; 2) that its long-term average is 923.8 feet; and 3) that it is unusual for the lake to fall below 922 feet. The court provides no citations for these findings, which are both wrong and unsupported by evidence.” Other contested points in the DNR motion to amend: • The judge erred in finding that increased groundwater withdrawals caused declining lake levels. The court found that low water levels in White Bear Lake between 2003 and 2010 were caused by a doubling in SEE MOTIONS, PAGE 8A

Business people recognized at annual chamber luncheon Area businesses and individuals honored Oct. 4 at the 2017 White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce awards luncheon included: • Emerging Business: Trinity Automotive, 2370 Leibel St. Owned by David Cochran, a former U.S. Marine, and his wife Jessica, the White Bear Lake auto repair shop was recognized for exceptional performance and growth the last three years, community involvement and exemplary customer service. Ask about their veteran's discount. • Workplace Waste Reduction & Recycling: Grandma's Bakery owners John and Deb Lupo were recognized for implementing a waste management program that has significantly reduced their trash bill. John Lupo said it has been a good thing for his business since he no longer pays taxes on items that are recycled. Food items are recycled for animal feed and all organics are composted. The county charges a 70 percent tax on garbage. • Chamber volunteer of the year: Taelor Johnson of Mueller Memorial was honored for showing an outstanding commitment to the chamber's mission. Johnson said her proudest moment this year was when the Legislature approved transportation funding, a bonding bill item for which the area chamber actively lobbied. • Business of the Year: Minnesota Commercial Railway and its head, John Gohmann, were honored for contributing to the local economy and chamber in an outstanding manner. The company, which operates the short-line track through White Bear to Hugo's Bald Eagle Industrial park, keeps businesses in business. Gohmann said the railway is a spinoff of big railroad companies that started as Minnesota Transfer 30 years ago. Today it has 120 employees and helps develop industrial parks along its rail routes. Gohmann presented two sketches of the White Bear depot, past and present, to the chamber when he accepted his award. The old depot on Hwy. 61 is home to the chamber offices. “When the Legislature passed its bonding bill at 3 a.m. on a Friday, the chamber was there,” Gohmann said. The bill provided funding for rail repairs between St. Paul and Hugo that were estimated to save 500 jobs. • Company of Excellence: Kowalski's Markets received this year's award for its amazing commitment to communities through philanthropy. Accepting the award was Kris Kowalski-Christiansen, CEO of the family business started by her parents, Mary Anne and Jim. Today, Kowalski's has 11 neighborhood stores around the metro, including White Bear Lake, which opened in 1986. The company partners with Second Harvest Heartland's food shelf and has donated over one million meals. Kowalski's has also donated $1.5 million through its Groceries for Good Causes program, which helps nonprofits in a community. Customers place store receipts in labeled boxes at the front of the store. A donation is made quarterly based on total number of receipts collected in each charity's box. It allows Kowalski's to direct its charitable giving to local organizations that matter most to customers. • Legacy of Excellence: This award goes to an individual who has a history of demonstrating amazing commitment to the community through serving others and giving of themselves. The 2017 award went to Michael Lovett, Ph.D., retired superintendent of the White Bear Lake Area School District. Taking what he described as a “sabbatical,” Lovett said he is teaching at the U of M these days and writing columns for education publications. He thanked the chamber for

its remarkable support to the school district and investment in students through programs like career pathways and business education. • Chair's Award: Saputo Dairy Foods was recognized for “going above and beyond in its effort to reduce water usage from the aquifer, thus helping increase the level of White Bear Lake.” Chamber Chairwoman Barb Sheldon noted that Saputo undertook a “costly endeavor to show they are a big business with a great community conscience and truly care about their impact on the environment.” Accepting on behalf of the White Bear Lake company founded in the late 1920s by the Kohler brothers, was Plant Manager Eric Rickman, who is also chamber chair-elect. Rickman said the project to recycle water through a closed loop system should reduce groundwater needs by 50 percent. For decades, groundwater has been used as a coolant in the dairy mix manufacturing process and then discharged into Goose Lake.

Your support is important
W
E HEAR IT quite often, “Both newspapers and live theater are dead.” From personal experience, I beg to differ. A week ago some of our family attended the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis to enjoy the colorful, fast-moving, romantic “Aladdin.” The classic rags to riches story allows a young hero to learn an important lesson. While the theater night was a sellout, and as many of you know the Orpheum can be congested, the atmosphere even in the steep-seated balconies was exciting. MY SON, CARTER, and I own a number of weekly newspapers in Minnesota and Wisconsin and we know immediately if there is a About the mishap in delivery. Readers count on the delivery of hometown news. The Town print circulation is not declining Gene Johnson either. Subscribers are very important to the newspaper, but it’s advertisers who pay the large majority of our costs for newspaper staff, printing and delivery. Readers are important to advertisers who want to tell their story and communicate with their customers. Subscribers, however, are also very important to a community newspaper’s success. If you are a subscriber who is reading this column now, thank you. You are important to us and we appreciate your support. Community newspapers are close to their readers in everyday life. Our reporters and editors spend hours at government meetings and all types of community events to report on what is important for you to know. Every week you get a lesson in civics through the newspaper and we hope it prompts more participation in local government. An important role of the “Press” is to hold government accountable. On the public notice pages, there is important information required by law for citizens to be informed. Residents who spend part of the year in other areas of the country find it important to have the community newspaper mailed to them so they can stay on top of information like tax increases, regulations on water usage, sports and academic achievement. We also need our subscribers to be eyes and ears to things that are happening in and around where they live. We need to know when there is news that needs to be reported. We encourage people to write letters to the editors complimenting, challenging or correcting actions of local government and volunteer organizations. We are thankful for those of you who use this freedom granted in the First Amendment to express and share your opinions. Most of you realize that not everyone pays for a subscription. We wish they would. We could add a couple more reporters if they did. We think it makes for a stronger community when more people are informed. We hope we can continue to have total market coverage. Our neighbor newspaper, the Forest Lake Times, has chosen to send their paper to only those who pay. There is a good economic reason to do that, but your support can help us avoid that situation. Let me just say it one more time, “We need your help.” The cost for salaries, newsprint and delivery creep up every year. If you are not sure if you are a paid up subscriber, call our circulation department at 651-407-1234. AND ABOUT LIVE theater, there is a lot of excitement in the area for Lakeshore Players and their new building. The new, professional Zephyr Theatre is coming soon to Stillwater; not to mention all the devoted community theaters such as Masquers and Children’s Performing Arts in Forest Lake, and Arts Garden in Hugo. I don’t think print and live theater are going away any time soon. Thanks for your support. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Supportt mayor ffor re-election S l ti I wanted to share a bit of insight about our mayor of White Bear Lake, Jo Emerson. I’m a White Bear Lake School District long-term substitute teacher. Just after Mayor Emerson was elected, I was teaching third-graders government and they wanted to ask if the president could visit. I said we’ll ask, but suggested we cover the bases and ask the governor and the mayor, too. Well, guess who immediately responded? Mayor Emerson. Ever since then Mayor Emerson has graciously visited my classes a few times a year and talks about local government and reads to the kids. The best part of her visits are when the kids ask questions. Mayor Emerson’s answers are graceful, informative and funny all at the same time. From my perspective, anyone who can handle Q&A with young elementary students can handle anything! Over the years, the students and I have learned so much from Mayor Emerson. As a resident of White Bear Lake, it’s obvious that Jo Emerson is the right person to have as our mayor. Mayor Emerson knows the issues and is able to communicate them thoughtfully. It’s very apparent that Mayor Emerson deeply cares about our city. Please vote Jo Emerson for Mayor on Nov. 7. Sue Fish White Bear Lake
Candidate experienced, civic minded Steve Wolgamot would make a fine Mahtomedi City Council member. He has substantial experience from his many civic activities. He has a clear interest in helping people — both old and young. And he has prior experience as an elected school board member. All this makes him a qualified and excellent choice for this important position. We will be voting for him. We urge you to do so as well. Dixon Tews Mahtomedi
School board candidate has earned my vote I’ll be voting for Jessica Ellison at the Nov. 7 White Bear Lake school board elections. She is one of those women who combines commitment, questioning and caring: a truly powerful combination. She’s been working with and for teachers for years at her position as a teacher educator at the Minnesota Historical Society. She’s the current president of the Minnesota Council for the Social Studies. She also has four kids who will go through the White Bear Lake school system. I’ve gotten to know Jessica through our boys’ friendship. I heard her speak at the first “meet your candidate” session held at the White Bear Lake Library a few weeks back. It was there that I heard each of the candidates’ basic approaches, and I think that is where Jessica stands out. Her approach is to take the time to look at issues from all angles; being unencumbered by School Board politics would give her a freedom most other candidates have lost. I believe her enthusiasm, along with her absolute willingness to dig deep into the larger issues facing our district (there are many), will serve our district and community at large as well. Being a curious mother with the best intentions for her own and her neighbors’ children comes naturally. Please, do your homework and consider casting your vote for Jessica Ellison on Nov. 7. But most importantly, vote. Michelle Bruhn White Bear Lake
A smart public servant for Mahtomedi I am writing to express my support for Steve Wolgamot’s candidacy for a seat on the Mahtomedi City Council in the upcoming election. Please be assured that I do not give endorsements lightly. I have only endorsed one other candidate for office — that was my mother, when she was elected to the School Board in my hometown 40 years ago. However, she received my endorsement after an extensive interview regarding her qualifications, motivations and ideas. Without hesitation, my wife Susan and I heartily and vigorously support the candidacy of Steve Wolgamot for Mahtomedi City Council. As a longtime member/chair of our School Board, Steve worked tirelessly as an advocate for our children and our community. He continues his public service today in our community as a director of the White Bear Center for the Arts, as a commissioner on the Mahtomedi Park Commission, and in the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation, where he was a founding member. He is smart, selfless, and generous with his time and talents. There is no better public servant in our community. John C. Carr Mahtomedi
Dumping in Grant As technology changes, ordinances must be drafted to keep up. The city has recently tackled cell towers
and butt we still have work d solar l gardens, d b till h k to t do. d A local resident applied for a grading permit Sept. 24 for a 3-acre field, but several concerned residents noted 15 to 20 trucks daily emptying into a pit on the property. This would require a NPDES/SDS permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency which, along with Washington County Environmental, is currently investigating this. I want to thank the citizens of Grant for coming forward and filing complaints, as we need to protect our groundwater as Grant residents all have wells. Unfortunately, there are loopholes in the permitting and follow-up process. A cease and desist order was finally issued on Sept. 26, 2017. The council will now take a fresh look at both policy and procedures to prevent commercial operations like this from endangering our groundwater. Loren Sederstrom Grant City Council
Candidate will make good decisions I hope you will join me in supporting Steve Wolgamot for Mahtomedi City Council. A vote for Steve is the right direction for our city. His children, my children, our grandchildren, and all bikers and walkers will be safer thanks to the efforts of Steve to create a safe route around White Bear Lake. Steve served Mahtomedi Schools as a board member and chair for 14 years and was a founding board member of the Mahtomedi Area Education Foundation. Steve’s active involvement in Mahtomedi schools and the community is a testament to his integrity. His artistic talents are many, and he currently serves on the White Bear Center for the Arts as board member and treasurer. Steve and I were partners in business together, and I can attest to his honesty, perceptiveness and hardworking ethic. His decisions and practices were top-notch and always made good sense. Thank you, Steve, for being a good neighbor, friend, and always striving to keep Mahtomedi a great place to live. If Steve is elected to the Mahtomedi City Council, he will make positive decisions for the good of all Mahtomedi residents. John Schlagel Mahtomedi
Candidate a thoughtful, committed leader While I am a Grant resident and unable to vote in the upcoming election in Mahtomedi, I would like to urge residents to vote for Jeff Ledermann for City Council. I have known Jeff since 2008 and worked closely with him as a member of the Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative (MAGI) to make projects like the Zephyr Wind Project and the Wildwood Natural Playground a reality. Jeff also served on the Wildwood facility and design team and during his daughters' high school careers advised the high school Eco Club. I know Jeff to be an intelligent, thoughtful, committed leader. If elected, he would be a voice for issues of sustainability and livability in the community of Mahtomedi. Jeanne Zlonis Grant
Candidate has my vote for area School Board I had an opportunity recently to spend time with Jessica Ellison, discussing her candidacy and aspirations for the White Bear Lake Area School Board. As a recent retiree whose entire career was spent working on behalf of students with disabilities, I was especially interested in Jessica’s thoughts about White Bear Lake’s special education programs. Jessica acknowledged that as a School Board member, it would be important for her to understand the district’s special education policies and procedures in greater depth, and she was looking forward to learning more about them. But it soon became clear to me, as we discussed her priorities for all White Bear Lake students (which include such things as education equity, critical thinking skills and civic engagement), that the needs of students with disabilities would be well represented with Jessica on the school board. This realization came as Jessica told me about Chris, her 30-year old brother who has Asperger’s syndrome (a type of autism). It was obvious as Jessica talked proudly about her brother’s accomplishments in K-12 education, in college, and now in his chosen career, that she understands the potential of young people with disabilities to be successful students and engaged citizens. Jessica recalled through misty eyes, that when her brother was young, her family was not always sure that Chris would be able to realize his dreams. She readily acknowledged the challenges that he faced and the vital role that her parents, as well as his teachers, played in ensuring his success. While there is much more positive that I could say about Jessica’s priorities, and the expertise and energy that she would bring to the White Bear Lake Area School Board, what won me over is her deep and personal understanding of what high-quality special
education off students d ti can do d to t enrich i h the th lives li t d t with ith disabilities and their families. Debra Price-Ellingstad White Bear Lake
Supports school levy renewal An important decision is upon us. On Nov. 7 voters will have an opportunity to cast our vote to renew the current White Bear Lake Area School District local operating levy. I urge you to show up and vote yes for renewing this levy. The current levy is expiring and, without its renewal, the school district will lose 15 percent of its funding. Without the renewal of the operating levy, our community, our schools and, most importantly, our students will be at a competitive disadvantage. We cannot let this happen. Our students are currently benefiting from the support of this generous community. The current operating levy provides some wonderful opportunities for the children of White Bear Lake Area Schools, including orchestra, IB options and Career Pathways for our high school students. Without the continued revenue from this levy, I am concerned that class sizes will increase, and important programs will be reduced or eliminated. With Baby Boomers retiring, our country needs more educated people in our workforce. We need our students to graduate from high school prepared for higher education or to enter the workforce. Our children deserve the best education we can provide them so they can become engaged citizens and thoughtful leaders in the future. Renewing the current operating levy will ensure excellent opportunities continue. The School Board is asking us to renew the operating levy at the current authority. This means that renewing the levy will not increase our taxes. Please vote yes on Nov. 7 to renew the current operating levy. Carrie Carroll White Bear Lake
Strong advocate for student achievement I am writing in support of Jessica Ellison’s candidacy for the White Bear Lake School Board. I have known Jessica for 15 years in a professional capacity and she is eminently qualified, is passionate for student success and inclusion, and is committed to White Bear schools. Jessica has spent her entire career working in education. She currently is a teacher specialist for the Minnesota Historical Society. She develops and delivers outstanding curriculum and training for teachers so they can use the letters, newspapers, photographs and objects in their classrooms. She has worked with thousands of teachers in her career. She is also the president of the Minnesota Council for the Social Studies. In that role she is a planner and leader who shapes education through advocacy, training, and programs for teachers. If her expertise is in K-12 education, her passion is for inclusion and learning. She is dedicated to the basic idea that every student feels welcome and included in their own schools. She sees how White Bear schools work at inclusion through the eyes of her own children who attend Matoska International. She sees how the work teachers and administrators do has a great impact on learning. She will be a strong advocate for student achievement, inclusion and teachers for years to come. Jessica Ellison is a great candidate for School Board. I hope you get to know her, talk with her around the community, and learn how she will be great for White Bear Lake schools.

Christmas card leads to charge of concealing dead bodies BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — A homeowner on Sandra Lane who was found with two dead bodies in his home last fall has been charged with interfering with a dead body and concealing evidence at the scene of death — a gross misdemeanor. Robert James Kuefler, 60, was arrested Oct. 4 and was released after promising to show up for court appearances, according to court documents. Kuefler was discovered with the bodies of his elderly mother, Evelyn, and twin brother, Richard, Sept. 20, 2016. A concerned person had requested White Bear Lake police do a welfare check on the home in the 4700 block of Sandra Lane because the grass was overgrown and no one had been seen at the residence for a while. When officers arrived they saw what looked to be a deceased female in a bed through a window. “Officers forced entry into the house and were overcome by the stench of decay,” reads a court document. They ran into Robert walking up the stairs. Officers found the deceased female in an upstairs bedroom. “The body was severely decayed and mostly a skeleton,” reads a court document. In the basement, a male body was found mummified. In an interview with police that day, Robert admitted his mother passed away in August 2015. He told police he drove around for a couple hours when he knew she
was dying because he didn't want to be around when she died. When he returned, she was dead. He told police his brother passed away before her and that he had found him dead in his chair. Robert said he moved the body to the bathroom eventually because it was “in the way.” The two bodies were later identified as Evelyn and Richard with approximate dates of death of August and July 2015. A coroner determined both died of natural causes. Robert's charge for interfering with a dead body and concealing death evidence apparently stems from what he wrote in a Christmas card in 2015. Robert K Kuefl efler er Two days after he was arrested last September, officers were provided with a Christmas card from Dec. 2015. “In this card Robert stated that Richard and Evelyn are both alive but in bad health,” a court document reads. He also wrote that Evelyn did not want visitors and she and Richard cannot hear the phone ring. However, according to evidence, both were actually deceased.
RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
Vadnais Heights • On the night of Sept. 28, deputies stopped a vehicle on Centerville Road registered to a St. Paul man who was wanted on a pair of felony warrants for providing false information to police; a foot chase was on. The 45-year-old was quickly captured and soon on his way to jail. • A resident in the 300 block of Bankers Drive reported on Sept. 28 that his vehicle was broken into and a .45 cal. Springfield semi-automatic handgun had gone missing. • A troubled couple, the female driver with an order for protection against her boyfriend, the passenger, were traveling on Goose Lake Road Sept. 28 when she pulled over during an argument. He grabbed the car keys and got out, jumping over a guardrail and fleeing the scene. Deputies found the 48-yearold North St. Paul man in a bar nearby with the woman’s keys and a baggie of a suspected controlled substance in his possession. He was jailed on the pending felony drug charge. • A Mexican passport and visa belonging to a 53-year-old Woodbury man were stolen overnight Sept. 28 from a vehicle parked outside a bar in the 1100 block of County Road E. No suspects. • A 17-year-old White Bear Lake South Campus student taking a break on a bench outside Walmart the night of Sept. 29 forgot his backpack when he left the scene. The backpack containing the boy’s driver’s license, a prescription medication and a school-issued laptop computer, value unknown, was gone when the lad returned. • It began with one female harassing another and ended with two groups spilling out of the doorway of the bar in the 3800 block of Labore Road at closing time Oct. 1. The mixup got more serious as punches were thrown. A bouncer was “sucker punched,” according to witnesses, and later treated for head injuries. A 32-year-old St. Paul man was knocked unconscious and transported to Regions Hospital while still blacked out. An investigation is underway. • It was amateur night at the public storage facility Oct. 2 in the 1000 block of Birch Lake Boulevard. A burglar cut the lock to a unit, making off with several boxes of electronics. The couple renting the unit saw the missing lock at fi rst light and called 911. A professional thief would have replaced the lock, disguising the theft until the renters had reason to go into the unit, according to an investigator. The husband and wife victims are preparing a list of missing items. The investigation continues. • Deputies checking on an abandoned property the night of Oct. 3 in the 3300 block of Labore Road flushed out a man they quickly caught running from the property. The 32-year-old, out of Brooklyn Center, said he was just looking for a place to sleep for the night. He was found in possession of a bag of jewelry he said he “found.” An investigation continues.
White Bear Township • All was quiet in the township last week, with no reports of stealing, fi ghting, off-road driving or other strife.
White Bear Lake Police Capt. Dale Hager explained why it took a year for Robert to be charged. First, the department had to wait for the coroner to identify the bodies and make its determination on the causes of death. Then, officers waited nine months while the federal Social Security investigators determined how it would handle potential fraud allegations. Robert had allegedly continued to receive Social Security checks that were not his to keep. Police had arrested Kuefler last September on suspicion of financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult but Kuefler was never charged because the adults were dead. Federal authorities chose to deal with the financial issue civilly rather than criminally, Hager noted. At that point, White Bear Lake police and the city attorney needed to decide what charges would be appropriate. The Christmas card had revealed Kuefler tried to cover up his relatives' deaths. Hager acknowledged Kuefler may have a mental health issue that could have contributed to his behavior, but noted that the court system is better equipped than the police department to determine whether mental illness should be taken into consideration in determining the case. Kuefler's first appearance in Ramsey County court will be Oct. 25. The maximum sentence for the gross misdemeanor charge is one year in prison and a $3,000 fine.

payments over the phone. When in doubt about court or jury-related phone calls, contact your district or federal court clerk to verify information.
Hearing for councilman delayed again The omnibus court hearing for Vadnais Heights City Councilman Terry Nyblom was delayed again, from Sept. 25 to 8:45 a.m. Nov. 9. The reason indicated in court documents was a “conflict for VH (Vadnais Heights).” The main purpose of an omnibus hearing is to determine whether there is enough evidence to bring the case to trial. In April, Nyblom was charged with fi fth-degree assault, misdemeanor domestic assault, interfering with an emergency call and disorderly conduct. Nyblom has said he is innocent of the charges. The omnibus hearing was already delayed from June to September due to surgery, according to court documents. Nyblom's
attorney did not respond to requests for comments as of press time.
Police officers recognized for traffic safety initiative White Bear Lake Police Department officers were recognized Oct. 5 for their accomplishments in traffic safety during the 2017 fi scal year of the Ramsey County Traffic Safety Initiative.

MOTIONS: City of White Bear Lake joins DNR in filing amended order in District Court FROM PAGE 1A
groundwater pumping in the region since 1980. Larson contends evidence at trial does not support the findings. • Erred in finding that groundwater withdrawals harmed the aquifers. This finding is contradicted by evidence, according to Larson, and is not grounded in any citation. The DNR monitors the “available head” of the aquifers through observation wells. The plaintiffs’ own expert, Stu Grubb, testified that the observation wells are the “very best evidence” available concerning the pressure of the aquifers, Larson said. The wells show that the pressures are at normal or above normal levels. In fact, he wrote, the well closest to White Bear Lake shows the aquifer in that area is at its highest-ever recorded level. “The court’s order failed to address, let alone explain away, this evidence.” • Erred in relying on a faulty 2013 USGS report. In finding that the DNR violated MERA and the public trust doctrine, the court extensively relied on a 2013 USGS report that is flawed and unreliable, Larson contends. The report concluded that groundwater pumping might account for some of the decline in lake level. The DNR said USGS premised its analysis on groundwater pumping data from a flawed and arbitrary selection of wells. Of particular note, USGS excluded several high capacity wells used by the St. Paul Regional Water Services’ system that were about five miles from White Bear Lake while including wells from locations such as Forest Lake that were some 21 miles north of White Bear Lake. The DNR maintains that the St. Paul wells pumped far more water in the 1980s and 1990s than it did after 2000. The effect of this error was that USGS concluded that groundwater pumping was increasing from 1988 to 2010 when in fact it was flat to declining. Larson asked that the court’s findings be amended to delete references to the 2013 USGS report and any finding that the DNR should have relied on the report in making permitting decisions. The 35 pages Larson filed in district court to support the motion listed arguments too numerous to include here. A second section also requested amending court conclusions to correct errors of law. One noted that the court lacked jurisdiction to enter relief related to the DNR’s implementation of a protective elevation. The DNR set a protective elevation of 922 feet last December. The court’s order directs the DNR to implement the elevation at 923.5 feet. The court also erred in awarding costs to the plaintiffs, according to the attorney general’s office. State sovereign immunity precludes taxing costs against a state agency when it acts in its sovereign capacity, he wrote. Lastly, Larson asked the court to order a new trial. The judge’s decision is not justified by the evidence, he concluded.
City files similar motions The city of White Bear Lake filed similar arguments Oct. 5 as part of its appeal process through outside counsel Monte Mills, an attorney with Greene Espel. While the DNR requested to amend and grant a new trial, the city’s motion used the word “alternatively” to move for a new trial. Both the city and White Bear Township intervened

on the side of the defense in the lawsuit. Mills wrote that the court incorrectly found that a “dramatic increase” in groundwater use caused White Bear Lake to decline. Pumping near the lake did not increase during the period when the lake declined, he said. In fact, groundwater pumping has decreased since 2003 when the lake’s level was near an all-time high above 925 feet. “Drought, rising temperatures and evaporation were the proximate cause of White Bear Lake’s declining water levels from 2006 to 2013. If groundwater pumping was actually causing the lake to decline, the lake should not have rebounded,” Mills said. “But it did.” The court “paid no mind” to the fact the plaintiffs’ expert, Stu Grubb, testified that the groundwater withdrawals at 2002 levels were sustainable, Mills pointed out, “and that groundwater use in 2015 was lower than the use in 2002.” The city’s water use is consistent with the general declining trend in the north and east metro area. Water production declined from more than one billion gallons in 2013 to 815 million gallons in 2016, according to Mills’ memorandum. The city has not requested an increase to its water appropriation permit in more than 10 years, he said, and has no plans to ask the DNR for an increase. Errors were “strewn throughout the 140-page order,” according to the White Bear Lake attorney. Mills also said a requirement to provide contingency plans for a conversion to surface water would cost money for municipalities within the five-mile radius. Requiring the expenditure of public funds on plans
for alternative water supply infrastructure belongs to the Legislature, not the courts, Mills wrote. White Bear Township has not officially declared whether it will appeal. Town attorneys are requesting an amendment to the order, however, to correct an error regarding the gallons of water pumped by the township. The judge stated water use at 176 million gallons in 2015 when it should be 402 million, noted Town Clerk/ Treasurer Bill Short. Though a minor correction, the township felt it should be pointed out. “The judge is using this information in her findings of fact and it’s not accurate,” Short said. The Town Board is waiting until their attorneys have had a chance to discuss specifics of the appeal with the DNR. “We wouldn’t want anything in our appeal to compromise the appeal of the defendants,” Short said. The township has spent $80,300 on the trial so far. Unlike the city of White Bear Lake, they did not hire an outside firm. The city has spent about six times that amount on the lawsuit. Assistant DNR Commissioner Barb Naramore iterated that the motion to amend is standard procedure with this type of litigation. “There are certain kinds of issues we can only raise in our appeal if we first raise them with the deciding district court and give them opportunity to address,” she said. “It includes evidentiary issues we raised as well as some legal matters.” The decision now goes to District Court Judge David C. Higgs. A hearing is scheduled for Jan. 26 at the Ramsey County District Court in St. Paul.
NEW CHIEF: Updated fire equipment a priority going forward FROM PAGE 1A
the Falcon Heights Fire Department. In '97 he started at the Roseville Fire Department and eventually was hired full time. His most recent position was battalion chief. Peterson started his new position as fire chief for the White Bear Lake Fire Department in September. “I'm excited to be here,” he said. “I look forward to leading the department into the future.” He said he has been focusing on learning how the department operates during his first weeks on the job. There are about 60 part-time firefighters on staff in White Bear Lake and about 20 ambulance paramedics and EMTs. Several first responders who work the ambulances are full time. All part-time firefighters are also trained as EMTs. There is one assistant chief. Emergency calls for the fire department are about 80 percent ambulance
calls and 20 percent fire calls, Peterson said. Over the years, fire calls have remained relatively stable but ambulance calls have been increasing due to Baby Boomers aging, he added. In White Bear Lake, ambulance calls increased by 7 percent last year. Most other departments with ambulance service have seen a 3 to 5 percent increase, he noted. A challenge fire departments have faced in recent years is the cheap lumber builders use on new homes. Older homes were actually built with solid wood, he said. Now, the wood builders use is made of pressed wood chips held together by a glue that is combustible. The cheaper alternative is just as strong but less safe in the event of a fire. “It's nothing but fuel,” he said. “They burn hotter and faster than ever before.” Most homes built in the last 15 years use such wood, he noted. The wood creates more dangerous fires and firefighters need to be able to respond
quickly to such homes. Equipment will also be an important topic for the chief going forward. The City Council recently approved the department to purchase updated self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighters. The current ones are 15 years old and Peterson said it is very important to him that equipment is updated for safety reasons and to provide good service. “There is a proposed new fire engine in next year's budget,” he added. Between its two stations, the department currently has four ambulances, four fire engines, one truck and one pickup. It also has an inflatable rescue boat and one large boat it shares with the Mahtomedi Fire Department. Peterson is also the lead fire instructor at Century College and plans to continue teaching there. He teaches continuing education and teaches National Fire Academy command classes. He is currently teaching a class for

Allyn, with Robins Kaplan LLP, has been involved in the litigation since the beginning, back in 2012.
MINNESOTA MAY BE THE “LAND OF 10,000 LAKES”, but this title doesn’t exclude us from the importance of water conservation. Using less water is important for several reasons: • It takes a considerable amount of energy to deliver and treat the water you use every day. According to the EPA, letting your faucet run for ve minutes uses about as much energy as letting a 60-watt light bulb run for 14 hours! • Water has a high heat capacity, meaning it takes a lot of energy to make hot water. • Only 3% of the earth’s surface water is drinkable. Water is a precious resource that we should not waste!

Plaintiff group in lake lawsuit thanks its supporters ogy research” from testimony by Perry Jones of the U.S. Geological Survey, Allyn said. Jones' report on White Bear Lake and the aquifer below received a 2016 national award for best groundwater study in America, he pointed out. The three legal experts on the panel all called Judge Margaret Marrinan's 140-page opinion unique. “Byron (Starns – attorney for the intervening lake homeowners association) and I have talked about this,” Allyn said. “We have been trying cases in Minnesota for 40 years and have never seen a trial judge spend the time and effort to draft this kind of findings and ruling. We don't know how the appeals are going to go, but I can tell you this: we're in it for the long haul.” Attorney Heather McElroy with Ciresi Conlin agreed it was uncommon to have the kind of detail and thoroughness that was in the judicial opinion. She offered key points to the group on aspects of the trial, noting getting DNR experts to admit that pumping was a direct cause of lower lake levels was “really powerful and fundamental to the case on cross examination.” The court went through several pages focusing on relief, added McElroy. “In essence, the judge said to the DNR: 'You just have to follow the statutes that you are already required to follow.'” Another important piece, required by statute, was ordering cities to put a schedule together for funding design and construction phase and ultimate conversion phase to surface water, she said. “The court found that the DNR previously ignored this statute; that submission of these conversion plans is required for issuance of appropriation permits.” The plaintiffs were disappointed,

The association filed the lake level lawsuit against the DNR five years ago. They prevailed in the suit, with the district court judge ruling Aug. 30 that the DNR violated the Minnesota Environmental Rights Act on a number of grounds, concluding that groundwater pumping is a direct cause of declining lake levels. The DNR has since made public its intention to appeal, along with the city of White Bear Lake, an intervenor on the side of the defendant. Association Chairman Greg McNeely opened the panel discussion, noting attorney Mike Ciresi “turned the key” in the case due to his “commitment to White Bear Lake.” Ciresi's firm took on the case pro bono when he was a partner with what is now Robins Kaplan LLP. He has family ties to the community and grew up spending summers on White Bear Lake. He later formed Ciresi Conlin LLP, but kept the case under his wing. Attorney Richard Allyn with Robins Kaplan stayed on, teaming with his former colleagues in the duel over water with the DNR. Allyn told those attending the “special evening of information, recognition and gratitude,” that the threeweek trial last March “wasn't amateur day in the courtroom.” “We had the gold standard for hydrolAve 4779 BloomLake, MN 55110 White Bear TED REQUES SERVICE CHANGE
Allyn added, that the city and township were intervenors on behalf of the DNR. Thus far, only the city of White Bear Lake has declared its intention to appeal. Allyn also noted that people worried about brown lawns and dying bushes should know that the DNR can fashion a remedy in the event White Bear Lake goes below the protected elevation without causing that to happen. “Thirty percent of water is used for private irrigation,” he said. “Somewhere in that 30 percent you have to believe the DNR can fashion remedies to keep the lake at a healthy level. I know people are worried about that element. The order has room for the commissioner to fashion a remedy.” The point of the lawsuit, Allyn maintained, was to get the DNR to do a better job with the managing authority given to them. Attorney Byron Starns, of Stinson Leonard Street LLP, stated the lawsuit was a highlight of his career. “An interesting story I learned along the way is how protection of this lake is in the genetic makeup of this community. You are to be congratulated for continuing the great work that has gone on for generations to protect the lake.” Starns was referring to an affidavit signed by William Markoe back in 1868 that was used as evidence in a lawsuit filed against the People's Ice Co. The company was blocked from harvesting ice from the lake over water level concerns. Markoe's descendant, Jim Markoe, is a Manitou Island resident and president of the White Bear Lake Homeowners Association. Finally, hydrologists Jones and Stu Grubb spoke about their part in the
lawsuit. Jones' USGS studies showed that White Bear is a closed basin lake and naturally more variable. Deep areas of the lake are leaking into the aquifer below with surface water showing up in wells south of the lake. Jones recalled how the USGS study found a 30 percent increase in groundwater withdrawal would drop the water level 1.5 feet. Under drought conditions, that drop can be almost 5 feet. Grubb, with Emmons and Olivier Resources Inc., told the group he first looked at wells within a five-mile radius of White Bear Lake when the WBLRA asked him for an independent study. “I looked at a map and said, 'let's look at a 5-mile radius.' I knew large pumping wells were within five miles and aquifer characteristics start to change beyond that. I also had a gut feeling that 6 miles was too far out.” The judge's ruling used that same 5-mile radius. Grubb said contrary to criticisms, the 5 miles was not arbitrary. “Someone had to draw a line in the sand,” he said. Grubb added that working on the case was a real honor and also “a highlight” of his 30-year career. When asked how long an appeal process could take, Starns said the appeals court process normally takes 9 months to a year. The Supreme Court can take a discretionary appeal from that decision that extends out another 9 months to a year; essentially, it could take two years to exhaust the appellate process. “We've been at this five years,” noted Markoe; “another two years is nothing.”

LOOKING BACK Week of October 8 - 14, 2017 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1917 Donald Dorr Struck by a Northern Pacific Passenger Train...Again has the community been shocked by a fatal accident. To comparatively few families come the horrors of having the life of a loved one exterminated in the twinkling of an eye and still fewer are the parents who are called upon to mourn the death of two sons by fatal accidents in two years time, as have Mr. and Mrs. John Dorr, of Bald Eagle. 1942 One of the first WAVES in this section of the country, Inez Maureen Hanscome, 6 Lake Ave., White Bear Lake, Minn, will “shove off” at 8:40 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, from Minneapolis for the University of Indiana, Bloomington where she’ll receive training in naval procedure as a storekeeper. 1967 Coffee and wonderful-tasting pie served at the White Bear Beach PTA meeting Tuesday night failed to dampen the ardor of Beach parents campaigning for a new school. The proponents for the new school argue that the Beach is being discriminated against by the school board in the forthcoming bond issue to be voted on which calls for a new senior high school and some additions to other elementary schools

When houses sell before they’re listed on the MLS, you’d better have your ducks in a row when you’re ready to buy. Mark Meader, Mark Meader & Associates-Perl Mortgage, says pre-approval clears a path toward homeownership and gives you an edge over buyers who haven’t taken the time to secure lending before they make an offer. Real estate agents prefer to work pre-approved buyers as well. “They’re leery of online lenders,” Mark says. “After 34 years in the business (27 on White Bear Ave.), they know they can trust us. We don’t hand out approvals like candy, yet we have worked with first-time buyers who had a credit score as low as 580.” Mark Meader & Associates-Perl Mortgage originates more than $50 million in home loans every year.

Harrowing homecoming: Mahtomedi clips Forest Lake 19-16 in OT BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Tim Lindquist pulls down a pass from Brodi Larson during the first half of the Zephyr’s 19-16 overtime victory over Forest Lake.
Mahtomedi’s homecoming opponent Friday had a 1-4 record but Zephyr coach Dave Muetzel was not expecting a cake walk. “We knew this would be a tough game,” said coach Muetzel. “Forest Lake’s record doesn’t show it but they’ve got a good team with a lot of good players. They’ve just been finding ways to lose close games.” The Rangers confirmed what the Mahtomedi coach expected, pushing the Zephyrs to overtime. In fact, Mahtomedi needed a late rally to beat the Rangers 19-16 and improve to 5-1. Down 13-7, the Zephyrs pulled even on Brodi Larson’s pass to Tim Lindquist for a 38-yard touchdown with just under four minutes left, but the Rangers blocked their extra point kick. The Zephyrs forced a punt, but fumbled on the return and the Rangers had the ball on the Mahtomedi 40. The
Zephyr defense held and the Rangers missed a 41-yard field goal. Forest Lake (1-5) suffered a holding penalty in overtime and settled for a 35yard field goal by Chris Snider. The Zephyrs had a third-and-15 situation, but Brandon Anderson ran 14 yards on a draw play. Going for the win on fourth down, Mahtomedi gave the ball to Erik Bjork and he plowed into the end zone. “It got pretty exciting there at the end,” Muetzel said. Bjork also made 19 tackles at linebacker, 11 of them solo and two for lost
yardage. Ben Putney made 12 tackles and Joey Rohrer 10. Anderson carried 19 times for 122 yards, including a two-yard touchdown. Larson completed nine of 17 passes for 149 yards with no interceptions. Lindquist caught five for 105 yards. For the Rangers (1-5), Snider scored on a pass from Connor Hale from 20 yards out, and Sam Jackamino had a two-yard TD. Jackamino carried 20 times for 83 yards. Mahtomedi will play at Tartan (2-4) on Friday.

White Bear Lake girls conquer Ponies for soccer crown BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The White Bear Lake girls soccer season has been a great ride so far. “It's been fun to watch,” acknowledged Dave Ashley, co-coach with John Dierkhising, adding, “We're connecting with each other in all phases of the game.” The Bears (13-2) captured the Suburban East conference championship and reeled in 10 consecutive wins, highlighted by their 4-2 conquest of defending champion Stillwater in the decisive duel last Tuesday. They will start their bid for a state trip Thursday, Oct. 12. Keys have been a couple big scorers — junior Claire Odmark with 20 goals and sophomore Kayla Anderson with 15 — and a team taking care of all the details you need to win consistently. “Our defenders are doing a great job covering for each other in the back, then getting involved in the attack,” Ashley assessed. “Our forwards are making well-timed runs up top and combining with the midfielders to create dangerous scoring chances. “And our midfielders have been playing with a relentless energy to win the

ball, keep the ball, control the middle third, and get someone in on goal. We've also had multiple players step up and deliver on free kicks and corner kicks.” The Bears finished 8-0 in the Suburban East for their first conference title since the current coaches took over in 2012 on the team that reached the state finals. Stillwater finished 7-1, with Mounds
View and East Ridge tying for third at 5-3. The Bears, ranked No. 6, were seeded first in Section 4AA and will open Thursday at home against North St. Paul or Tartan, who meet Tuesday. It’s a formidable section with these conference rivals seeded two through four: Stillwater (12-2-2), Mounds View (12-4)
and East Ridge (9-6). Semifinals are set for Saturday and finals Tuesday, Oct. 17. The Bears snapped Stillwater’s ninematch win streak, building a 4-0 lead as Odmark and Erika Townley each scored twice, with Mackenzie Ternes assisting on both Odmark goals. Ternes steered a corner kick right into Odmark’s forehead for the third goal and Townley rifled a long free kick from the sideline over the leaping goalie for the fourth. The defensive crew and goalie Ella Janicki had a shutout until Stillwater punched in two late goals. The Ternes-to-Odmark corner kick is a bang-bang play that has clicked several times this season. In fact, it happened again Thursday when the Bears beat Park 3-0. Townley and Tessah Anderson help by rushing in and carrying defenders with them. “She just puts it in the right place,” Odmark said. “I know it’s going to drop over the defender’s head. I don’t even have to do much.” The Bears wrapped up the solo championship beating Park, with Odmark scoring twice and assisting on the other goal by Townley.

Daugherty, troubled by knee injuries during her tenure with the White Bear Lake Bears, went on to a terrific college career at St. Catherine’s, made a couple national teams, and has coached soccer for 19 years, the last three as head coach for Spring Lake Park. “I turned to St. Kate’s to try and focus on my future and not so much on soccer,” Daugherty reflects, “but I quickly found out, after my injury, that there was no taking the game of soccer out of me. I just knew after I got hurt that it was time to focus on soccer at a different level. That is when I really turned to coaching.” Daugherty recently received a High School Coach of Significance Award given from the United Soccer Coaches Association. USCA developed this new award to acknowledge coaches who focus on not only developing players but also providing life lessons and character development through soccer. She called it a “great honor” to be one of the first recipients from 23 states so far. The nomination was made by Hannah Schultz, the team’s senior captain in 2016, who stated: “Her constant support, caring nature and motivation made for a successful team dynamic.” A physical education teacher, Daugherty was also the
district’s nominee for state teacher of the year in 2016. Her Panther soccer program mentors young players throughout the year, volunteers at Feed My Starving Children, and stages a cancer awareness game each season. During her first year there, she secured a $10,000 grant for physical education from the Minnesota Vikings “Play 60” program. “We as a staff realize they have a life going on Mindy Daugherty outside the soccer field and we understand it because we were in their position growing up,” said Daugherty. “We strive to push them to use their full potential as athletes but try to get them to recognize that sports are an outlet for them to really strive to be good people.” In high school, Daugherty was sidelined by a torn ACL much of her junior year and senior year (when she played just one game). The 1998 graduate also played some varsity in grades nine and 10. Her time to shine, and to play without injury, was summers with her club team. Her summer coach advocated for her when college coaches came around to recruit, and St. Catherine’s brought her in.
St. Catherine’s was a developing program then, not recognized as an MIAC team until her junior year, and Daugherty was their first big star. She pumped in 48 goals and made 16 assists in her career, both school records by a wide margin that still stand. She made all-MIAC as a junior and senior. After graduating in 2002, she joined a national team that played in tournaments in Australia in 2004, Peru in 2005 and Italy in 2007. She still plays whenever she can at age 37. “I have said since I was little,” Daugherty declares, “that I want to be that 80 year old who is still a force to be reckoned with on the field.” Daugherty has been a teacher and coach for 12 years, initially at White Bear Lake and then Paideia Academy (a charter school) while coaching at Cretin-Derham Hall and Hill-Murray. Five years ago, she landed at Spring Park to teach and coach at the same school for the first time. She has been head coach for three seasons. So far, success as a head coach lags behind her success as a player and teacher. Her Panther teams have been well under .500 all three years including 4-9-1 this year. “We have struggled in the past couple years, after being moved into a bigger conference with bigger schools,” she said, “but the more the players realize we can play with these bigger schools, the more their confidence will grow.” True to her roots, Daugherty remains involved in White Bear Lake soccer as a youth coach every summer.

The White Bear Lake boys cross country placed third of 21 teams Saturday in an Alexandria Meet of Champions race that lives up to its name. With seven of the top 12 ranked teams on hand, No. 3 Stillwater won with 67 points, followed by No. 2 Edina (85), the No. 5 Bears (119), No. 9 Mounds View (145) and No. 8 Sartell-St. Stephen (164) in the top five. “What is good about today, is I think we had an average day and scored well,” assessed coach Dave Kovacich, noting that the top seven Bears hit the chute before Edina’s fifth runner and were all within 13 seconds. “If our top three seniors can move up more, we can do some damage later in the season,” Kovacich said. “A spread of 13 seconds is great, but we need some low sticks up front. We are capable of it.” The Bears had Ben Vanderbosch in 19th place, Jace Bartz 20th, Mike Rohlinger 25th, Isaac Mauryama 27th, Max Nelson 28th, Tryg Solberg 33rd and Jacob Horvath 36th.
The White Bear Lake girls placed sixth among 17 teams in the Alexandria Meet of Champions on Saturday. No. 5 ranked Willmar won (58), followed by Marshall (97), Becker (128), Stillwater (141), Roseville Area (144) and White Bear Lake

MAHTOMEDI SPORTS Zephyr boys soccer finish 3rd in conference Mahtomedi boys soccer finished third in the Metro East Conference after beating Hill-Murray 3-0 and tying Hastings 2-2 in the final week. Helio DeLa Torre, Adam Gralinski and Gavin Goralinick scored against Hill-Murray. DeLa Torre and Gralinski again found the net against Hastings. St. Thomas Academy was champion at 7-0-1, followed by North St. Paul 7-1, Mahtomedi 5-2-1, Hastings 3-3-2, and Hill-Murray 3-5 among nine teams. The Zephyrs take an 11-3-2 record into the Section 4A tournament starting Thursday Oct. 12.
Mahtomedi and Hill-Murray girls share soccer crown after scoreless tie Mahtomedi girls soccer has captured another conference championship, but had to share it with Hill-Murray this time. The No. 5 ranked Zephyrs and No. 2 Pioneers battled to a scoreless tie Tuesday, Oct. 3, and each finished 6-0-1 in the Metro East. “The girls reaction to the draw was subdued,” coach David Wald said. “They were happy they did not lose, but knew they missed some opportunities to score.” Mahtomedi (11-3-2) closed the regular
season beating Hastings 11-0 on Thursday. The two shutouts this week were their 10th and 11th of the season. Mahtomedi has eight straight Metro East titles, starting in 2010, all solo previously. The Pioneers (10-1-2) were equally tough to crack. “We probably had more possession of the ball, and more shots,” assessed Wald, “but they were very organized defensively. Quality scoring chances were few and far between for both teams.” Each goalie, Megan Lisowy of Mahtomedi and Payton Cahill of Hill-Murray, made key saves in the final five minutes. At Hastings, Sonia Meyer knocked in three goals, Lauren Heinsch two, and Sydney Staedt, Audrey Sexson, Sydney Panek, Ava Vander Louw, Erika Broten, and Grace Padelford one each. Sexson made two assists. Mahtomedi and Hill-Murray might meet again. Both play in Section 4A, which starts Thursday.
It was a home match and Senior Night for the Zephyrs, who have a 4-1 record in dual meets. They have also beaten South St. Paul, Tartan and Henry Sibley while losing to Hastings. Placing first for Mahtomedi were Aine Keel (100 and 200 freestyle), Ryann Buttke (individual medley), Maggie Liska (50 free), Jenna Whitehead (diving), Skye Schmit (butterfly), Claire Fritsch (500 free), Elizabeth Hansen (breaststroke), and Lauren Anderson (backstroke). The Zephyrs also took the medley relay (Anderson, Hansen, Schmit and Becca Kurkowski), the 200 freestyle relay (Keel, Hansen, Kate Hoffman and Schmit) and the 400 freestyle relay (Fritsch, Keel, Hoffman and Liska). Season point leaders are Liska and Kurkowski, both in the sprints. Liska is the school record-holder in the 50 and Kurkowski has the 100 record. Those two and Frisch were in the quartet that set the 200 freestyle relay record last year. Among the younger girls contributing nicely are Frisch and Skylar Gillow Clowser (butterfly).

New book 'The Ship' plies far beyond waters of Lake Superior BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER LOWDOWN EDITOR
A couple of photographs taken on a trip to Two Harbors turned into much more for Stillwater writer David Fabio, who recently released his latest book, “The Ship.” “I was watching an ore boat backing out from the terminal, and as I was watching, the boat looked like it was bent in the middle,” Fabio said. “For fun, I took a picture, and a guy walked up behind me and said 'Is that boat bending in the middle?' The photographs intrigued me. As I looked for some explanations for the photographs I shot during the trip, I quickly realized there was the basis for a story hidden within the photos.” Fabio also took a photo of a dead badger on the side of the road, and together the photos sparked a story of high intrigue and international conspiracy. The book follows FBI Special Agent Mark Lawson, who is called to northern Minnesota to investigate two murders and a smuggling case. He hits a wall in the investigation when he finds that another government agency is trying to block his efforts for fear the agent will discover the real truth. “It ends up with interplay between the two,” Fabio said. “One doesn't want the other one working on the case, and they end up working together.” Fabio takes great care to research the historical accuracy of each of his books. The ship in Fabio's book is called the Kelvin Roth,
but the real-life model is the Roger Blough, which does indeed have a strange story. When it was first scheduled to launch in 1971, a mysterious engine fire broke out. The cause of the fire was never officially determined, and several workers died of asphyxiation while trying to fight the flames. It took almost a year before the ship was ready to launch again. “Right off the bat things started out wrong,” Fabio said. “It ran aground once or twice, ran into piers, other ships, it lost steering. This thing had a lot of problems. It worked out well (for the story) because I could build mystery into the ship, while the gales are coming and these sailors are on a jinxed boat.” It turns out that the bend Fabio noticed is the result of its design. The ship was built in two sections and welded together in the middle, with a little bit of flexibility so as not to stress the welded areas in the center in heavy seas. Knowing that sailors are rumored to be superstitious, a Great Lakes freighter with a somewhat dangerous and spooky history seemed like an ideal place to set a story. But Fabio's story goes far beyond the haunts of the Great Lakes.
“Eventually it led to the discovery that the ship is getting artifacts to somebody out of North Korea,” Fabio said. “Back in early days for China, when China clamped down on all religions, many of the artifacts went to Japan and Korea and those kind of locations. It was an interesting book to write because as I dug into the research I found more and more information. I tried to write a fiction story around lots of facts. It was a fun one to write.” Jackie Bussjaeger is the editor of the Forest Lake and St. Croix Valley Lowdown, and can be reached at 651-407-1229.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Downtown coffee shop opens on Square After knocking on doors in downtown White Bear Lake for two years, the owners of a new family-operated coffee shop found a place to call home. The new Anchor Coffee House is sharing space with Margaux's Table on Washington Square and is open for business. The unique idea to split the space came to Denise Atkinson after several downtown locations fell through. Margaux's is only open evenings on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The coffee shop will be open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on weekends, so the two wouldn't overlap. “We played a patient waiting game finding a loca-

tion, but it's been worth it,” Atkinson said about her search. “Our excitement is through the roof.” Atkinson and her husband, Paul, are longtime area residents. Paul graduated from Mahtomedi High School and their five children all live in the area. Son Brad and his wife Heather are co-owners in the coffee shop and another son, Alex, is the White Bear-Mahtomedi Young Life director. Both are trained baristas. Atkinson said her family feels “led to do this. White Bear has needed a real coffee shop forever,” she stated. An anchor was selected for their name and logo because of its nautical connotation and the fact the family feels “anchored” to the community. What makes Anchor different from Caribou across the street, she added, is the freshness of their beans, ground through old-fashioned espresso machines that cost as much as a new car. “Our roasted beans are very fresh. We get them from Northwoods Roastery in Lindstrom,” Atkinson said. They will also have nitro brew, Italian sodas, fresh bakery, and light salads and sandwiches. Since they're already connected to Margaux's, Atkinson said they plan to “utilize Peggy's organic and natural fare.” Peggy Doran owns the restaurant at 4742 Washington Square. Son Brad said Anchor will feel like a “small-town coffee shop. We are family and community oriented; we're involved in Eagle Brook Church and Young Life, and we want this to be a community space where people come to feel like an extension of their home.” For more info on the coffee shop, visit Coffeebarmn. com. The family also runs a coffee truck called Ollie's Coffee Bar, named after Brad's son Oliver.

School joins See You at the Pole event Magnuson Christian School students participated in a nationwide See You at the Pole event Sept. 27. The student-led tradition included prayers for family, friends, school, community, state, country and world; writings and scripture readings; and songs, including the national anthem. A bald eagle soared above the students during the program.
In 1990, a small group of teenagers in Burleson, Texas came together to pray for their friends, schools and leaders. After they shared their idea, on Sept. 12, 1990, more than 45,000 teenagers met at school flagpoles in four different states to pray before the start of school. A year later, an estimated one million students gathered at school flagpoles all over the country.
For the last 25 years, the last Wednesday in September has been set aside for See You at the Pole. All around the globe, students gather at their flagpoles at public schools, private schools, or at home. This is the first year Magnuson Christian School has participated and the school plans to continue to join in the tradition. Submitted

He is among about 16,000 semifinalists in the 63rd annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth about $32 million that will be offered next spring. “On behalf of the entire Liberty Classical Academy SUBMITTED family, we congratulate Liberty Classical Academy Peter on this distinctive senior Peter Klarr, of Hugo, achievement and we wish is a 2018 National Merit him much success as he Scholarship semifinalist. continues to pursue academic and leadership excellence,” said Liberty Classical Headmaster Rebekah Hagstrom. “Our students consistently achieve because our program combines academic rigor, engaging classrooms and Christian values.” To be considered, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition. About 90 percent of the semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and more than half of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title. “I am humbly honored to be selected as a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist,” said Klarr, “but the honor should be given first to my God who made me,
and then to my school and family who taught me.” In addition, Liberty senior Ross Pearson, of Oakdale, is among nearly 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation being recognized. Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of more than 1.6 million students who entered the 2018 competition by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).

It was quite an opening of October. I totaled 3.37 inches of rain which puts me .75 inch above normal for the whole month. This past weekend actually came out pretty nice if you throw out the fist half of the day Saturday. Sunday was the better of the weekend days with sun and a high of 70º. Some of you may have experienced your first frost Tuesday morning if not it wont be long for you as the average date for the first frost is October 5.

Loon Chronicles: Happy Sequel “Fall is in the air and the juvenile Loons are now on their own. Hopefully, their parents taught them well and they will survive their remaining weeks on White Bear Lake. The eagles continue to dine on coots and fish while the juvenile loons fish like crazy to gain strength. The juveniles spend early mornings and evenings together, but spread out all around White Bear Lake during the day. We enjoy watching their behaviors when they are together, especially at sunset. They often engage in the rituals that the adult loons put on display all summer. Their sounds, wing flaps, and rowing motions all are emerging and can be simply hilarious. They are big kids now!”

Neighborhood path destroyed, easement under review BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — Instead of watching their favorite major league baseball team post-season on TV, residents of the Wildridge and Echo Lake neighborhoods created a capacity crowd at City Hall Oct. 3. Up until two weeks ago, the paved trail on the easement shared by 969 and 970 Pineview Court in the Wildridge neighborhood served as a safe link between two neighborhoods, a place to walk dogs and to learn to ride a bike. Then one day, Dennis Sonnek, who says his property is on 95 percent of the easement, came home from work only to find heavy construction equipment in his yard and the Wildridge half of the path destroyed. His neighbors packed the Oct. 3 City Council meeting to voice their concerns at the destruction of the path linking their neighborhoods. The 47 people sitting in the box seats and standing-room-only section in council chambers were unanimous in their dismay at the loss of the path and in their desire to restore their neighborhood link. Not one person in attendance at the meeting raised a hand in favor of keeping the path closed or of implementing the landscaping changes brought about by the resident at 970 Pineview Court. Usually, in easement disputes, a large number of people line up on the side of public use, but very few line up on the side of private ownership. However, it is ownership, not majority opinion, that usually rules the day. Residents in both neighborhoods assert that the city
LORETTA HARDING | SUBMITTED
Sign at the Echo Lake end of the trail declaring the entire trail off limits.
maintains the path year-round, including plowing snow during the winter. Also suggesting public ownership are brown signs on the trail installed by the city. Therefore, residents wondered who gave the property owner at 970 Pineview Court the authority to remove the trail. That is exactly what the city hopes to determine, after surveying property lines and researching the history of property ownership, rights of way and adverse possession. Long discussions with legal staff are sure to be part of the process. The easement path is an integral part of the neighborhood, residents said. Some say it was a key feature that drew them into the neighborhoods in the first place. “We were deliberate about our neighborhood choice,” said Wildridge resident Kayla Bromelkamp. Her husband, Scott, grew up in the neighborhood, and his parents
still live in the immediate community. “The path is our primary access to Nana and Papa’s house; it’s dangerous to cross elsewhere,” she said. Bert Reyes lives on part of the easement at its other end, in Echo Lake. “When we moved in, we knew it was there and were fine with it. We maintained our trees so it wouldn’t interfere with the path,” he said. “Everyone benefits, and we’re happy to accommodate everyone.” There have been no issues — not even dog droppings — for the 12 years his family has been living there, Reyes said. “My family connected with people we otherwise would not have and taught our kids how to ride their bikes on it,” Reyes said. The issue-free co-existence reportedly changed two years ago when the current owner sharing the Wildridge end of the path easement moved in. Sonnek said he was told by an attorney representing the property owner at 970 Pineview Court that he thought Sonnek was done a favor by the new landscaping improving his property value by some $4,000. Sonnek said that uptick in value meant a lot less to him than the sense of shared community and interaction with all the personalities created by the trail. “I use the path about seven times a week — I feel violated,” he said. After completing the rest of the business on its agenda, council adjourned to enter into a closed session, as allowed by law, for an attorney-client privilege meeting to discuss the trail destruction at 969 and 970 Pineview Court.
MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — In action at its Oct. 3 meeting, the City Council: • Approved a proposal from WSB and Associates to perform the preliminary engineering design for the Lake Links Trail. The amount of the proposal is equal to the appropriation from the Legislature in the 2017 session. The amount of $15,000 has been allocated for the preliminary design along Birchwood Road and Hall Avenue to State Highway 244 and $38,000, to be equally shared between Mahtomedi and Dellwood, for the design along the 244 right of way through Mahtomedi and Dellwood to State Highway 96 in Dellwood. • Discussed the donation of property for the Lake Links route. Thane and Blanche Hawkins have agreed to donate two small pieces of land, formerly part of the Burlington Northern Railroad
right of way, to the cities of Mahtomedi and Dellwood. This small piece of land is critical to the trail because without it there is no dry connection between Dwinnell Ave. and the right of way owned by Dellwood, said Washington County Lake Links Chair Steve Wolgamot. • Approved a purchase agreement by and between Brandan R. and Gabrielle N. Iwaszko (buyers) and the city of Mahtomedi (seller) for the purchase of real property in the city for $60,000 to facilitate the reconstruction of the septic system serving adjacent real property addressed as 355 Quail St. • Approved construction pay voucher no. 5 to Metering & Technology Solutions in the amount of $23,275 for the Mahtomedi/Willernie water meter replacement project.

• Authorized an application submission for MnDOT Municipal Agreement Program Funding for the Local Road Improvement Program for road improvements associated with the CSAH 12 (Stillwater Blvd./75th St. N.) Corridor Improvement Project. Washington County will be applying for a Local Road Improvement Program grant for CSAH 12 on behalf of Willernie and Mahtomedi. The county said the grant could be used to help the two local communities with their local share of the project costs. The CSAH 12 project is tentatively scheduled for construction in 2019 and 2021, and will likely be broken into two phases. The first segment is from Jamaca Avenue to Hilton Trail, and the second segment from Hilton Trail to Mahtomedi Avenue.
• Considered an ordinance amending the salaries of the mayor and council members, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 415.11. The ordinance will increase the mayor's salary from $4,800 to $6,000 annually and council members' salary from $3,600 to $4,800 annually. City Administrator Scott Neilson said the changes were meant to be consistent with mayor and council salaries of comparable communities. It has been 10 years since the city increased the mayor and council salaries, he said. The adjustments will take effect in January 2018. The council next meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 17 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

Breast Cancer Awareness Let’s Fight Cancer Together
Lesser-known symptoms of breast cancer
Public perception that breast cancer is only identified by lumps detected through self-examination or routine mammography may prevent thousands of women from receiving an early diagnosis and the care they need. Although lumps are the most common symptom associated with the disease, women should recognize that breast cancer can produce additional symptoms. Susan G. Komen for the Cure, one of the premier organizations for breast cancer research, advocacy and treatment, advises that the warning signs for breast cancer are not the same for all women (or men). Various changes in the breast and body can occur, including the following conditions. • Breast-size changes: Many left and right breasts are not completely symmetrical, and women familiar with their bodies know that one breast is often slightly larger than the other. However, breast-size changes that occur out of the blue may be indicative of a medical problem. • Skin rash or redness: Women who are breastfeeding can experience a rash on the breasts from an infection of breast tissue. But those who are not breastfeeding should be evaluated by a doctor if redness, irritation or rash appears. • Nipple changes: Nipple discharge that starts suddenly and is not associated with breastfeeding can be indicative of cancer. Other changes to
DID YOU KNOW? Breast cancer can affect both men and women and is one of the most common forms of cancer. Thanks to increased awareness and screenings, many cases of breast cancer are diagnosed early and treated successfully. BreastCancer.org says that invasive ductal carcinoma, or IDC, is the most common form of breast cancer, accounting for about 80 percent of all breast cancers. The American Cancer Society says that, although IDC can affect women of any age, it is most common among women age 55 or older. The good news is that this type of cancer is highly curable, provided it has not spread outside of the ducts to other breast tissue. Survival rates for any breast cancers diagnosed in the early stages are excellent.

the nipples, such as pulling in of the nipple (inversion) or itchy, scaling skin on the nipple, should be brought to the attention of a doctor. • Changes to the skin: Dimpling of the skin, peeling, flaking, or scaling skin can be a cause for concern as well. • Lumps elsewhere: Cancerous tumors may not only be felt in the breasts. Breast cancer can spread to the lymph nodes around the breasts, and lumps may be felt under the arms. • Unexplained pain: The Mayo Clinic advises that less than 10 percent of people diagnosed with breast cancer report pain as a symptom. But unexplained pain in an area of the breast should not be ignored. Breast pain that does not go away and seems to involve one area of the breast should be checked. • Fatigue: General cancer symptoms can include unusual fatigue and unexplained weight loss. These symptoms should not be left unchecked. One of the best things women and men can do is to familiarize themselves with their bodies so they will be more capable of pinpointing any irregularities that may develop. Individuals can routinely look at their breasts and inspect for subtle changes. But remember that hormonal breast changes occur during the menstrual cycle, so it’s best to be familiar with how breasts look and feel both during and after menstruation.
