VFW hosts exclusive company

Art center draws historic ties in new F. Scott Fitzgerald series

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

White Bear Lake's VFW Post 1782 had the honor of hosting an elite group of heroes Saturday, Oct. 8.

In Minneapolis for their annual convention, eight Congressional Medal of Honor recipients visited the Keep Zimmer Post on White Bear Lake.

The men were served a buffet breakfast and spent about two hours fishing thanks to the many volunteers who assisted with the expedition.

Security was tight for the event due to the recipients' high profile, said VFW Commander Rick Gwynn, and it was not open to the public. The St. Paul Police Department did a bomb sweep at 5 a.m. with their dogs and law enforcement from the White Bear Police Department, Ramsey County Sheriffs and State Patrol were in attendance.

The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force that can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States. There are 77 living recipients.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — In “The Great Gatsby,” the summer of 1922 was filled with drinking, dancing and drama. It was not much different than the life of author F. Scott Fitzgerald, who spent that summer doing much the same in nearby Dellwood.

White Bear Lake's connection to the prolific author runs deeper than many people realize, and this year, the White Bear Center for the Arts (WBCA) is hosting a speaking series to explore this connection at depth.

Taught by local historian and writer Mary Jane LaVigne, the class series called “How to Write Like F. Scott Fitzgerald” will explore Fitzgerald's literary techniques through his short stories and discuss the historical details surrounding them.

The class series was created in anticipation of the 14th annual International F. Scott Fitzgerald Conference, which will be centered in St. Paul in June and July 2017. St. Paul hosted the festival back SEE FITZGERALD, PAGE 8A

Teacher of year known for calculus and animal crackers

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

SUBMITTED

Anastasia Eldredge, Mahtomedi High School math teacher, center, was named the district’s Teacher of the Year. She is pictured with students Josh Anderson, left, and Annika Hsu at this year’s pep rally.

MAHTOMEDI — Anastasia Eldredge, District 832's Teacher of the Year, is known outside her classroom for most of her students getting a perfect score on the Advanced Placement (AP) calculus exam. Inside her classroom, students remember her as the teacher who brings animal crackers for a snack.

“It's math energy,” said Eldredge, a Mahtomedi High School math teacher who has taught pretty much every high school math class throughout her 30 years in the district. She has been teaching AP calculus since 1993.

“The average score my students get on the AP exam is a 4.9 out of 5,” Eldredge said. The passing score for the global exam is 3. Last year, 85 percent of her students achieved a score of 5. Globally, 24 percent of students achieved a 5.

But Eldredge takes little credit for the scores.

“What I get to do is I get to see the fruits of everybody's labors: all the teachers and their parents and everybody who has contributed to where they are,” she said. “And I just get to take it and pull it through to the finish line.”

Eldredge acknowledges the families in the district who value education as the district's “greatest treasures.”

“I get to work with some kids from amazing families,” she said. One of her former students is the lead engineer for the NASA Mars Exploration Rover Mission.

Eldredge centers her teaching philosophy around student discovery.

“I try, whenever it is appropriate, to have them stumble upon and discover the math themselves,” she said.

“I enjoy seeing kids reach academic goals and learn difficult materials and reach goals they never even thought they were capable of, beyond what they thought they could do.”

Mahtomedi High School Principal Kathe Nickleby says she has seen Eldredge spending time with students before, after and during lunch working with them on their math skills.

“She is an outstanding teacher,” Nickleby said. “She always puts the students first … She was the calculus teacher for my own daughters and they highly regard her and still speak to this day about what a great teacher she is.”

In the Mahtomedi district, nominations for teacher of the year are made by other teachers. Nominees are then given an application that includes a resume and essay questions. A committee made up of former teachers of the year selects a winner. Eldredge will also be in a state competition this school year.

Eldredge lives in the district with her husband Tom. Her son Alexander and daughter Emma graduated from Mahtomedi High School. They took her calculus class.

Her daughter is now a freshman at the University of Minnesota and her son is studying for a doctorate in organic chemistry in California.

Eldredge values the community feel of the city and district. She is a big fan of Zephyr football, which her son played.

“That is one of my favorite things about being a high school teacher — high school football,” she said.

he third week of September Kathy and I attended two high school reunions. The White Bear Lake class of ’54 met for an 80th birthday party at the White Bear Country Inn with 44 in attendance. The White Bear Lake class of ’53 met a couple hours later in another room at the Country Inn. Kathy’s class of 1961 met in Appleton, Minnesota during the all school reunion weekend. Kathy had prepared a book and video titled “Then and Now” which provided senior class pictures along with photos of classmates in the present.

The 79 and 80-year-olds of the class of ’54 were asked to share how they deal with “Getting older.” The was passed around the About the microphone room to allow for comments. Jim Ramberg had just returned from Town the Scandinavian countries as well Gene Johnson as Russia and Poland where one of his sons live. Travel and pounding nails for Habitat for Humanity homes locally is another of Jim’s answers to staying active.

Joyce Anderson Perron is the youngest on her golf team. Joyce spent her 80th birthday on a mission trip to Haiti. She is returning for another mission trip in 2017.

Carole Houle goes dancing two to three times a week. Warren Vadnais delivers senior newspapers for six rural routes in the Alexandria, Minnesota area where he and wife, Carrie live.

Jim Lovas reported that he didn’t feel like 80. He still loves to learn and is interested in new adventures.

Gayle Le Mire Vail says learning is the most important thing in life and living life in the Lord is the best.

Floyd Patraw spent 50 years with his first wife, worked at Waldorf paper and plays cribbage and 500 with several 90 year olds who are very sharp. His wife now is Judy.

Margaret Benike Ek was still working in the office of the waterproofing company she owned with her husband. She continues even after her husband’s death. She said it keeps the mind sharp even though her joints are wearing out.

Larry Farrar felt we are all lucky to be there together. He keeps up with foreign affairs and continues to be an advisor to former Vice President Mondale. Larry served in foreign service for 30 years. He stays young by writing stories.

Carol Anderson lives in Summerhouse senior housing in Oakdale, where she exercises daily with several who are 90 and older.

Mike Forkins uses an infrared sauna for health benefits. It helps eliminate toxic waste through perspiration. He also credits his wife, Edie, for keeping him young.

Diana Lutz rides a motorcycle to stay active.

Dean Woolstencroft of Buffalo, Minnesota didn’t know what he wanted to do when he graduated so he went to work for Hamm’s Brewery. While there he was encouraged to go to business school and eventually became a CPA. He loves helping others clear up tax problems.

Kathy and I continue to publish community newspapers and write columns. Cruising in salt water is a favorite winter enjoyment. The theme to success in “getting older” certainly seems to be staying active, being willing to learn, serving others and getting together with friends and family. Of the 130 in the class of 1954, 79 are still alive. Thirty were in attendance at the birthday luncheon. One of the things that stood out to Kathy and me was the advantage of being raised in a small town where morals and ethics were taught and expected by the whole community. It gave us a good foundation and shaped us into the people we are today. Memories are good and becoming reacquainted with classmates and spouses brings new perspective into our lives.

Beware of “spear phishing”

n the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” everybody knows what “fishing” is, and many people are also familiar with “phishing” scams.

“Phishing” occurs when a criminal sends an e-mail impersonating a financial institution, government agency, or reputable company and asks the recipient to verify their personal or financial information. Today’s scam artists have now turned to a more sophisticated, targeted, and profitable verMovers and sion of the scam, known as “spear Shakers phishing.”

History of Lori Swanson “spear phishing” Phishing scams have existed in one form or another since the late 1980s. Decades after the scam first appeared, people are more suspicious of questionable e-mails from unknown senders.

Spam filters often help prevent these e-mails from ever reaching the intended recipient’s inbox. As a result, scammers are increasingly targeting people and businesses with spear phishing scams. While “phishing” e-mails may be sent to thousands of people, “spear phishing” e-mails are much more selective.

It happens like this: “Chris” received an e-mail that appeared to come from his company’s human resources department.

The representative asked Chris to send information from his W2 form to her for tax purposes. Chris noticed that the tone of the e-mail was different from other e-mails he had received from the human resources department, and thought it was strange that the representative did not already have his W2 information. He called the representative directly to ask about the e-mail. When she told him she did not send the e-mail, Chris reported the e-mail to the company’s computer specialist and the criminal authorities.

How it works Spear phishing occurs when a scammer poses as a company representative, often an executive or human resources representative.

The scammer sends an e-mail to an employee at the company, often from a hacked or “spoofed” e-mail address or an address that closely resembles the company’s e-mail format. For example, if a company’s e-mail format is user@321company.com, a scammer might use user@321company.co, or user@321compny.com.

Spear phishing is often more profitable than a basic phishing scam. First, scammers research a company to convincingly impersonate the target’s boss or co-worker.

People are more likely to be victimized because the e-mail appears to come from a trusted source. Second, spear phishers may use the information they obtain to steal the identities of every employee at a business and file thousands of fake tax returns. By filing fake tax returns or selling private information to other criminals, spear phishers can make a lot of money very quickly, even if only one person falls for the scam.

Protect yourself from spear phishing attacks There are several steps you can take to help protect yourself—and your co-workers—from spear phishing attacks, including: • Verify the e-mail with the sender. Call the sender directly and ask about the email. Scammers prey on people’s desire to respond quickly to requests from their boss or supervisor.

• Read suspicious e-mails carefully. People often recognize that an e-mail is a scam when words are spelled incorrectly or there are grammar mistakes. Sometimes a scam email is written in a tone that is different from the one the sender usually uses, or the sender might use a different version of your name. If something seems off, verify that the e-mail is legitimate before responding.

• Check the “from” e-mail address. Make sure that the “from” e-mail address matches your company’s e-mail address format.

Many e-mail programs automatically display only the name of the person sending the e-mail, rather than their full e-mail address.

Before you send sensitive information in an e-mail, make sure you are not sending the information to an outside e-mail account where it is no longer secure. If the address matches your company’s email format—or even the sender’s real e-mail address—you should still verify suspicious emails directly with the sender.

• Guard personal information carefully. There are often safer ways to relay sensitive information than in an e-mail. Check with your company about its security policies.

• Contact your company’s technology department. Many companies have security protocols that protect the information in their systems from attack. It can be best to refrain from “clicking” on a link or downloading an attachment in suspicious e-mails, as doing so could jeopardize your company’s computer system. Many e-mail programs allow users to forward e-mails without opening them. You may wish to ask your computer’s technology department about how to safely forward any suspicious e-mails you receive to a specialist.

• Be vigilant on-the-go. Company-issued laptops and smart phones may also be vulnerable to attack.

Smart phones in particular may be subject to spear phishing text messages, which can cause as much damage as an e-mail can. Don’t feel rushed by strange requests that come while you are out of the office.

Reporting spear phishing attacks You may report Internet fraud to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crime Complaint Center online at www.ic3.gov.

BBB tips on buying a puppy

hat’s not to love about puppies? They are playful, affectionate and cute. The fact that puppies are so cute is also the reason people sometimes buy them on short notice or on a whim. Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota ® (BBB) encourages consumers to treat this decision as they would any major purchase and offers tips to fi nd the right pet and avoid getting scammed.

There are many factors to consider when trying to decide if the time is right to buy a new puppy. These include the size of your living arrangements, costs such as grooming and pet food – and regular trips to the veterinarian.

It’s also a good idea to evaluate your lifestyle and make sure you are at a point in your life where buying a puppy is practical.

Another priority should be supporting breeders and businesses that meet standards and maintain proper living conditions for their animals. In Minnesota, a law went into effect in 2014 implementing registration and licensing requirements for commercial

breeders. Be sure you’re clear on the history of your puppy and the establishment you’re purchasing from.

In Minnesota, commercial breeders need to be licensed.

Choose a breeder who is experienced with the breed of dog you are seeking. Also, be sure you have a written contract with conditions and guarantees spelled Movers and out. Keep in mind that scammers often Shakers advertise puppies and in Better Business online newspaper classifieds Bureau at very low or special rates and then ask people to wire payment. If you do this, you will very likely be out any money you send and you will not receive your pet. Never wire money to someone you haven’t met in person.

In addition to those basic tips, BBB has analyzed consumer complaint trends and gathered the following information to help eager pet enthusiasts make informed decisions when purchasing a puppy:

Buying a puppy can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it can be a fairly involved process. By taking your time and considering all the angles, you’ll improve your chances of finding the pet that’s right for you.

• Think things through. Ask yourself if you are ready to support a dog for the next 10-15 years of its life.

Consider your financial outlook, your living arrangements and the time commitment involved before making a decision.

• Check with BBB. Always research a pet store or a breeder’s background at bbb.org. File a complaint if any problems arise.

• Find the breed that’s right for you. Some breeds are better with children than others and some are more social. Decide which attributes you’re seeking and go from there.

• Consider adoption. Visit a local shelter or rescue agency and inquire about available dogs. Both offer a variety of different breeds and personalities to choose from.

• Know your rights under the Pet Lemon Law (for Minnesota consumers) Pet consumers have

protections under Minnesota state law. In Minnesota, a purchaser has ten days to make claims about health problems and one year for congenital or hereditary defects or misrepresentation of breed. Under the Pet Lemon Law, “Common remedies include replacement of the animal, a refund of the purchase price, and/ or reimbursement of veterinary expenses, generally up to the purchase price of the animal.”

Buying a puppy can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it can be a fairly involved process. By taking your time and considering all the angles, you’ll improve your chances of fi nding the pet that’s right for you.

The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Contact BBB at bbb.org or 651-699-1111, Toll-free at 1-800-646-6222.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Love-hate relationship with geese This isn’t actually a letter but rather a poem called “Damn Honkers”: Everybody knows about the geese around here.

It would be hard to miss them.

Loudest thing in the county when they’re around.

HONK! Dirty, too.

Fouling up carefully groomed lawns.

Coating well-planned walkways around prissy citified lakes With gooey green globs of … well ... you know.

Good natured? Hardly. Gangsters more like.

Blocking roads and sidewalks, Staring down cars, bicycles, pedestrians, Hissing at babies in strollers that get too close.

But … in the fall, when the unseen signal goes out, and all at once they know …

It’s time!

Time to get ready! Time to fly! Time for the big show!

Time to circle, and splash-land loudly in the water, and circle again …

MAKING AS MUCH NOISE AS POSSIBLE THE ENTIRE TIME! And then do it all over again!

Time to cry that wild, urgent, irresistible, heartbreakingly beautiful cry … and then …

And then … magically, majestically, magnificently, rise on those powerful wings, in rank upon V-formed rank, And point those exquisite, graceful necks relentlessly South and Away…

When that happens … all is forgiven.

And we love them all over again.

John Connerton White Bear Township

Piece of American dream My husband and I have always loved White Bear Lake's small-town atmosphere and the pride everyone who lives here feels for the place they live. But after years of underemployment and just barely making enough to rent a one-bedroom apartment, we never thought we'd be able to buy a home here. That changed when I found a job at Century College. My union contract finally brought us enough financial security to start saving little by little instead of just scraping by. Several years later we had enough saved for a down payment on a home. Knowing that I had a job with a contract I could depend on gave us the con-

fidence to decide that now was the right time to buy.

This February, our own small piece of the American Dream finally came true.

Three months later, incumbents Matt Dean and Roger Chamberlain voted against my contract and against our piece of the American Dream. By actively voting against state workers and opposing fair union contracts, they have shown that they either don't understand or don't care about the struggles of working Minnesotans. Thankfully, better minds prevailed.

But I will remember what they tried to do. Owning a modest home in the White Bear Lake community is important for my family's financial future and it will give us the chance to grow deep roots here. I am concerned that without good representation in state government other Minnesotans will not be able to achieve a similar dream. That is why I am supporting Ami Wazlawik for the Minnesota House and Patrick Davern for the Minnesota Senate, candidates who support unions and working Minnesotans. These candidates understand the importance of a strong middle class and will help hard-working families build a better future.

Rachel Juen White Bear Lake

Supporting representative candidate Rep. Jason Isaacson was clear and well-informed at the debate sponsored by the North Metro Mayors Association on Sept. 28, which his opponent didn't attend. Rep. Isaacson is currently state representative for House District 42B, which includes Vadnais Heights, and he is now running for state senator. I watched the debate at the CTV North Suburbs website.

Rep. Isaacson made it clear that he wants to give tax cuts to the middle class. He also wants to improve vocational training because many Minnesota companies can't find people to fill jobs and we want to keep these jobs in Minnesota. So far, his team has knocked on 15,000 doors to engage people and find out what's important to them.

I have had conversations with Rep. Isaacson in the past and he has always been knowledgeable on the topics we've discussed. Please join me in voting for him on Nov. 8.

Health insurance mess On Oct. 6, I received my health insurance renewal notice in the mail from HealthPartners. I had been

hearing in the news about the range of increases for 2017. Well, I wasn’t disappointed. My rates for myself and two adult children (under 25) increased 63 percent to over $2,000 per month. In dollar terms, the increase is $795 per month or $9,540 annually. Apply a little more math to this increase and it equates to $4.77/hour based on working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year. My 2016 plan is no longer offered by HealthPartners and they have based my renewal on their most similar plan. The new plan does reduce the individual deductible by $500 and the family deductible by $3,500. However, all my co-insurance costs for doctor’s visits, hospitalization and prescription drugs, after the deductibles, increased by 66 percent! Plus, the out-of-pocket maximum for both individual and family has increased. Oh, and lest I forget, my newly offered plan’s access to medical care has been reduced to just the metro area and St. Cloud. My family, including a college graduate student, no longer has coverage if we need medical care when away from home or at college. So much for those billboards and advertisements that say “Live Fearless.”

Before the Affordable Care Act was enacted nationally and MNsure was enacted in Minnesota, my latest individual health insurance premiums for a high-deductible plan (no longer offered, by the way) for my family of six was about $800 per month. I paid the first $10,000 out of pocket per individual with a family maximum of $30,000, and then had 100 percent coverage. Our politicians told us this wasn’t affordable. What an unsustainable mess!

Professional endorsement of Anderson I would like to endorse Cheryl Anderson for Washington County Commissioner in District 2. I have worked with Cheryl on a professional basis through Social Service Solutions Inc. for 19 years. We were one of the first customers to enter into a contract with Social Service Solutions Inc. We have been happy with the support services that Cheryl and the employees from Social Service Solutions, Inc. provide to Kaposia. Cheryl promotes and teaches professionalism to all employees at Social Service Solutions Inc. Providing quality customer support services has always been the top priority for Cheryl. Cheryl will actively listen to learn as much as she can about issues and topics. I have no doubt that Cheryl would make a great Washington County Commissioner.

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Department reported the following incidents:

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • “Dad! There’s a, a ... I don’t know what it is!”A critter, later determined to be an opossum from the girl’s description, was making itself comfortable under the little girl’s ”huge” playhouse in the 400 block of Bear Avenue the afternoon of Sept. 29. The opossum was gone when deputies arrived. Homeowners were given wildlife removal information should the opossum make a return visit.

• A pair of males, in a heated discussion regarding “Globalization and Jobs in the U.S.” faced off on the morning of Sept. 29 in a classroom in the 3500 block of Willow Lake Boulevard, a facility that’s part of Northwest Metro school District 916 for teens with special needs.

One teen, 19, threatened to break the other teen’s glasses. “Go ahead,” an 18-year-old dared him. So the older youth grabbed the glasses, snapped them in half and punched him in the face as well. He faces pending misdemeanor charges of fourth-degree criminal damage to property and fi fth-degree assault.

• Homeowners contacted a repair fi rm they saw listed on Craigslist and arranged to have their place re-sided, providing the company with a check for $5,000 on Sept. 29 to pay for materials.

As of Oct. 4, the siding materials have yet to arrive.

• A stolen vehicle fleeing police entered the Wal-Mart parking lot at a high rate of a speed Sept. 30, almost hitting a pedestrian. The occupants of the stolen pickup truck fled into the store with deputies in hot pursuit. With the help of employees, the passenger, a 50-yearold Mounds View woman, was spotted and collared in the electronics department; the driver, a 55-year-old man from Hugo, was arrested in the lawn and garden section. Both face charges of fleeing police and charges against the driver for possession of a stolen vehicle, burglary tools and suspected heroin are pending.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A vehicle driving over the fog line, on the shoulder, over the fog line and so on was pulled over on County Road H2 the afternoon of Sept. 28. The 63-yearold White Bear Lake woman behind the wheel, who blamed her erratic driving on the Xanax and Zoloft she had taken, was referred to the state Department of Vehicle Services for re-examination of her driver’s license.

• A homeowner on in the 5200 block of Anderlie Lane reported trespassing by boys on bikes, “repeatedly,” the 60-yearold stressed, and “right past our bedroom windows.” The man’s yard, as well as others in the neighborhood, are fully marked with “no trespassing” signs.

The 16-year-old suspect on Oct. 2 said cutting through the yards was “safer than biking on the roads.” The problem is exacerbated by the fact that before the homes were built there was a bike path through the exact area in question.

The case was submitted to the juvenile unit of the county attorney’s office for further investigation.

• A pet cat was shot in the head with a dart late the night of Oct. 3 in the 2300 block of Fifth Court. The cat’s owner suspects a neighbor involved in a long-simmering dispute over neighborhood water damage. The cat was taken to an area vet clinic and was still alive on Oct. 4.

• A juvenile female was quickly on her way to the Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center Oct. 4 after assaulting staff members and exhibiting disorderly conduct at the Northeast Metro District 916 School in the 2500 block of County Road F.

He saw a man on top of the woman in a vehicle and told him to get off. The victim exited the vehicle and the male drove away.

When officers arrived, they observed obvious facial injuries on the woman. She said the boyfriend was trying to be intimate and she told him to leave. He reportedly punched her in the face.

Someone in the residence heard her call for help, went into the bedroom and managed to separate the two. The male, 19, from Mahtomedi, left the residence but was later located near St. Andrew's Church and arrested for domestic assault. The woman, 32, was also from Mahtomedi.

• An abandoned 911 call sent officers to the 30 block of Grove Street at 6:46 a.m. Sept. 25 on a verbal domestic.

• The company that owns air vacuums at the BP on Long Lake Road reported Sept. 28 that a lock was cut and anywhere from $200 to $500 worth of quarters were stolen from the machines. Extra night patrol was requested.

• A man in the 10 block of Birch Road called police when a scammer called his residence to talk to his wife at 1:40 p.m. Sept. 29. The man said his wife has dementia and has already been scammed twice, for $18,000 and $4,500.

He was advised to remove her from the account and get a power of attorney on her accounts so she has no access to money to send to scammers. No scam occurred that day.

• Two people dressed as clowns were observed hanging around the Carbone's and pet shop parking lot near midnight Sept. 29. The parties were located and wearing scary masks. The man, 33, and woman, 26, both from Mahtomedi, said they dressed up for fun. They were advised to go home.

• A man sleeping outside in his hammock at 2 a.m. Oct. 1 heard a man yelling at a woman to get the (expletive deleted) out of the house and a woman screaming in the 100 block of Ridge Way. When she came out of the house to get a cigarette from her car, the neighbor asked her if she was OK. She said yes but shook her head no. The man called 911 and when the officer arrived, the woman, 23, came outside crying and upset. The man had been out and when he returned home, she told officers he hit her in the face and pushed her on the bed. Her lip was swollen. The suspect, 31, was arrested for domestic assault.

The couple lives at the same address in Mahtomedi.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Deputies still looking for body of missing woman Ramsey County and Cass County, North Dakota Sheriff’s Offices are asking for the public’s help in locating the body of a missing Vadnais Heights woman, 45-year-old Michelle Newell. She was last seen and heard from on Aug. 29. A Saint Paul man, Timothy Barr, has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder without intent regarding Newell. Barr had contact with law enforcement in Cass County, North Dakota, Aug. 31. Authorities say Barr told associates he left Newell’s remains in South Dakota in an abandoned barn or farm building, covered with hay. Authorities believe he headed south through eastern North and South Dakota before returning to the Twin Cities area. Authorities are asking those who live in the Twin Cities metro area who may have relatives, hunt, or know property owners in areas east of Jamestown, North Dakota, and Aberdeen, South Dakota to contact them to check their buildings and barns for anything suspicious. Those who may have any additional information regarding this case can contact the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office at 651-266-7320.

Officer-involved shooting investigation handed over to county attorney The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) formally presented its investigation into the July 6 officer-involved fatal shooting incident of Philando Castile by St. Anthony officer Jeronimo Yanez of Vadnais Heights to the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office.

“Our office will work as efficiently as possible while ensuring we conduct a diligent and thorough prosecution review of the BCA investigation, in order to determine what justice requires in this case,” stated Ramsey County Attorney John Choi. “At this time, we are in the

process of engaging national use-of-force consultants to assist in our prosecution review and evaluation of the BCA investigation.”

No estimated timelines for completion of prosecution review were given.

Woman charged for drugs in purse Jamie Marie Buckingham, 24, of White Bear Lake, was charged with fifth-degree drug possession last month.

Buckingham was allegedly observed by a Stillwater police officer on June 2 “lying and sitting alternately” on a sidewalk near Fifth and Myrtle streets in Stillwater, reads a complaint from the Washington County Attorney's Office.

The officer “believed the defendant was under the influence of a narcotic, having observed track marks on her arms and her constantly nodding off in what, in his training and experience, is known as the ‘junkie nod.’” Buckingham admitted to injecting heroin and stated she had needles and heroin in her purse, according to the complaint. The officer recovered five pills from her purse, which were subsequently identified as alprazolam, a Schedule V controlled substance.

Grandson allegedly stole guitar from grandmother Tyler Zachary Yepma, 20, of White Bear Lake, was charged with theft - taking property without consent last month.

Yepma allegedly took a guitar valued at $3,000 from his grandmother's house when he visited her home in Cottage Grove June 6. The grandmother noticed it was missing on June 9 and reported it, according to a complaint from the Washington County Attorney's Office.

Law enforcement received information from the Guitar Center in Roseville and Willie's Guitar in St. Paul indicating a person resembling Yepma had attempted to sell them a similar guitar. Yepma

was identified on a video at the Guitar Center. At Willie's, Yepma had allegedly “claimed that the guitar had belonged to his grandfather before his grandfather was murdered,” reads the complaint.

McDonald's shift manager charged with sexual assault Jose Martin Lara Tello, 35, of White Bear Lake, was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct last month. Tello allegedly sexually assaulted a 17-year-old female employee at a McDonald's in Washington County on two occasions in August, according to a complaint from the Washington County Attorney's Office. When Tello was arrested he confirmed he had assaulted the girl once outside near the rear entrance to the restaurant and once in the basement, the complaint stated. McDonald's has confirmed Tello was a shift manager at the restaurant, according to the complaint.

Man charged in bar stabbing James Scott Thoren, 49, of Grant, was charged last month for second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and terroristic threats near Pappy's Bar in Stillwater Sept. 4. Thoren allegedly stabbed a person in the stomach while confronting him about why he was giving a ride home to a drunk person, according to a complaint from the Washington County Attorney's Office. A witness saw Thoren carrying an item described as a “black soft fabric knife case, approximately 6 inches in length,” reads the complaint. A Stillwater police officer observed a stab wound in the victim's stomach about 1 inch in length.

gree burglary last month. Duncanson allegedly entered a detached garage in Lake Elmo and stole a generator and power washer June 22, according to a complaint from the Washington County Attorney's Office. The resident walked into her garage and saw a man there she did not know and asked for her belongings back, which were in his truck. The man drove away. Fingerprints on a BB gun identified Duncanson, the complaint states. Items stolen from a nearby construction site were also located in the vehicle identified by the resident later in the day, which was found abandoned in Oakdale. A backpack with Duncanson's name was found in the vehicle. Duncanson has 11 prior theft convictions, one first-degree burglary conviction and four fifth-degree drug possession convictions.

Man sent back to prison for drug crimes Dustin Anthony Wittern, 33, of Willernie, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for first-degree drug crimes last month. Wittern was found with almost 300 grams of methamphetamine when public safety officers armed with a warrant conducted a search of his home.

Several scales and a large quantity of plastic baggies were also found. Cash in the amount of $2,700 and a taser confirmed stolen from the Elk River Police Department were also found. Wittern was sentenced to four years in prison in 2006 for a third-degree controlled substance crime. He was also convicted of a controlled substance offense in 2005.

MEDAL OF HONOR: Heroes visit White Bear Lake during Twin Cities stay FROM PAGE 1A

SUBMITTED

There are three variations of the Medal, which was authorized by Congress in 1861 and signed by President Abraham Lincoln.

Since that time, 3,496 individuals have earned the Navy, Army or Air Force honor, many posthumously.

an annual convention to “further the bond of brotherhood and camaraderie among all living recipients, to remember in reverence and respect those who received the Medal posthumously and those who are now deceased.” It was held Oct. 5-9 at the Minneapolis Hilton.

Cold, blustery weather kept many from attending the fishing expedition, but those who did “had a wonderful time,” Gwynn said. “One of the recipients told his wife he had never caught a walleye. Well he caught one on White Bear Lake.”

Small trophies were awarded for biggest fish.

served in Vietnam.

The White Bear Lake VFW was chosen for the special visit through DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr and his connections to Fishing for Life, the group that assisted in taking the recipients out on the lake. Landwehr has visited the VFW for various lake meetings, according to Gwynn, and recommended the Post as a host.

As a souvenir, the Hugo commander

asked Hisdahl’s to embroider 50 black stocking hats with WBL VFW Post 1782 in white and gold lettering. Gwynn added that he placed the order on Wednesday and was promised 30. “But they got them all done,” he said. “I heard they were wearing the stocking hat when they got off the bus back at the hotel.”

Volunteers also received a hat.

in 2002. About one month before guests convened, the organizers called the WBCA inquiring about whether anything still existed in White Bear Lake from the 1920s era. The answer was an emphatic yes—this year a prominent part of the conference will be held in White Bear Lake, with the possibility of an exhibit of Zelda Fitzgerald’s work at the WBCA. “So White Bear gets to play a big role in this, and that’s what motivated the WBCA to ask me to do this series of talks so people can really get engaged in Fitzgerald as a local guy who made our place really interesting,” LaVigne said. “He used it in a really very fundamental way in some of his very, very best work.”

After the class series has wrapped up in November, it will be followed by a “Write Like F. Scott Fitzgerald” contest in January, where anyone can enter a short story of their own.

“It’s a great opportunity,” LaVigne said. “It’s going to be a really prominent contest; there will be some lavish prizes, and it will be really cool.”

Born in St. Paul in 1896, Fitzgerald came from a middle upper-class family and often traveled to Dellwood in his youth to visit friends. Cecil Read, a Dellwood resident at the time, was a particularly close friend. Fitzgerald spent time at the Read family summer cottage, which has since been moved from its original location.

Many socialites of the day inevitably wound up at the White Bear Yacht Club, which at that time had already been rebuilt for the second time (today the club is in its fourth incarnation). Fitzgerald was no different; in fact his first success was a play that was written to be performed there as a benefit.

Fitzgerald went away to study at Princeton and later joined the Army. He met and married Zelda Sayre, and together they returned to a cottage in Dellwood while expecting their first child in 1921. Their tenancy didn’t last long; they soon moved back to St. Paul, where their daughter Frances Scott “Scottie” Fitzgerald was born.

The summer of 1922—which the Fitzgeralds spent living at the White Bear Yacht Club—was a pivotal time in Scott’s career. He had just published “The Beautiful and Damned,” and was working on his next novel, which would become “The Great Gatsby.”

In the meantime, he found inspiration in the events happening around him to feed the story. LaVigne said that many of the details found in “The Great Gatsby,”

which takes place on Long Island in 1922, could have easily been inspired by similar events occurring on the shores of White Bear Lake during that same summer.

“The social media of the time was something called

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS | SUBMITTED

Fitzgerald in 1921

‘Ripples Around the Lake,’” LaVigne said. “Ripples Around the Lake” was a social life column published by the White Bear Press, updating readers about the activities and milestones of some of the most prominent locals. The Fitzgeralds appeared often in this column, and would have been accustomed to clipping it from the paper, LaVigne said.

Coincidentally, at that time there was a recurring optometrist’s ad in the White Bear Press that happened to regularly appear on the same page as the “Ripples Around the Lake” column — featuring the image of an eye that would put any reader in mind of the symbolic image on a billboard in “The Great Gatsby.”

“There are a number of coincident happenings from the summer of 1922 in White Bear Lake and ‘The Great Gatsby,’” LaVigne said.

LaVigne said she also is in the process of research-

ing the unusually high number of accidents that took place in the White Bear Lake area during the summer of 1922. Since automobiles figure largely in Fitzgerald’s writing, with a prominent automobile accident in “The Great Gatsby,” LaVigne has theorized that some of the inspiration may have come from some of the accidents that summer.

Some of the discoveries about Fitzgerald’s stay in Dellwood, such as the series of photos taken at the Kalman house, were made by locals. There are many important historic details that don’t come out of the woodwork until they reach the attention of those who have the right information, LaVigne said. That’s why it’s important to rediscover the local connection to Fitzgerald’s legacy.

“Locals were able to identify the location of some of the photographs from having seen them in person,” LaVigne said. “That’s a connection that was made by local people. A lot of these things await for those of us who really know the territory to connect it.”

The associations and coincidences don’t prove anything, LaVigne said, but Fitzgerald was known to keep a notebook and write down items from his dayto-day life almost compulsively. It is possible and even likely that some of these notes made their way into his more prominent stories.

“He has a famous quote about character,” Lavigne said. “’If you begin with an individual, before you know it you will have created a type. But if you begin with a type, you will have created nothing.’ So Fitzgerald wrote from life, and one of the things he wrote from was his experience living in White Bear Lake.”

LaVigne, who is currently planning her own book about the connections between Fitzgerald and White Bear Lake, is looking forward to the continuation of the series and the upcoming conference in 2017.

“We have so much Fitzgerald connection in White Bear, and because it’s kind of a timeless place, there are a lot of family connections and a really great community that still reflects the White Bear that Fitzgerald would have known when he was living here,” LaVigne said.

For those interested in learning more about Fitzgerald and his Minnesota roots, LaVigne recommends the book “St. Paul Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald.”

Two more classes will take place Oct. 24 and Nov. 28, 7-9 p.m. at the White Bear Center for the Arts (4971 Long Avenue, White Bear Lake). Find the White Bear Center for the Arts online at whitebeararts.org.

Lyme disease: One thing leads to another

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Minnesotans can never be complacent when it comes to Lyme disease. Just when you think it’s safe, round two of tick season appears. That would be the fall months when there’s an uptick in tick bites.

The state Department of Health notes that cooler temperatures bring adult ticks back out, creating a second peak of tick activity along with reminders about prevention.

Blacklegged ticks, of course, are the tiny buggers that carry Lyme disease.

Not every blacklegged (also known as deer) tick is infected with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi that causes Lyme, but the incidence is rising exponentially. The trouble is many Lyme sufferers don’t know when or how they were infected.

One of those people is Blanche Hawkins, a Dellwood resident who suspects she became infected from a tick bite a decade ago.

“I think back to when I got neuropathy in my legs and feet. In retrospect, I might have had it then, which is 10 years ago, but I don’t know for sure.”

Hawkins has been researching and searching for creative Lyme treatments for years. It’s a complicated issue, compounded by other health issues, she said, that can make it difficult to measure success.

Blind in one eye, Hawkins has balance problems unrelated to Lyme’s. She suffered a severe head injury several years ago after she fainted, hitting the back of her head. Her doctors feel the reason she fainted so easily is because she has Lyme’s disease.

With the urging of her daughter, an Iowa chiropractor who also has Lyme’s disease, Hawkins is undergoing what she calls “brain training” at a St. Louis Park clinic. “It’s something developed by the Carrick Institute. They are using eye exercises to help train my brain so I am not falling forward all the time. It’s working for me.”

The neuropathy symptoms she noticed a decade ago are a marker for Lyme disease, Hawkins said. “I was never sick or had a rash. I had balance issues.”

Her Lyme doctor is Dr. Christopher

Foley, a Vadnais Heights physician who started Minnesota Natural Medicine in 2001. He reported the first case of Lyme disease in Minnesota in 1981, according to his website. A partner at the clinic, Jonathan Otten, is a naturopathic practitioner who wrote in the North Oaks News (a sister publication) that Lyme disease that is not diagnosed and treated early may advance into a much more insidious disease that can be difficult to treat.

“Lyme disease that is left untreated or improperly treated may progress and affect essentially every system in the body, but particularly has an affinity for the central nervous system,” Otten said.

“In this Lyme-endemic region, we must always consider tick-borne disease.”

Many patients are told that Lyme is not contributing to their symptoms because of a very poor test, noted Otten.

Their clinic is using a diagnostic tool called Borrelia culture provided by Advanced Laboratory Services. It has a sensitivity of 94 percent and has been proven useful in the diagnosis of Lyme that is undetectable by routine serological tests. Hawkins finally got a positive diagnosis last fall.

A passion for gardening compels the Dellwood woman to take precautions outdoors. She wears clothing treated with permethrin and when she comes back inside, she immediately takes a bath and scrubs away every speck that could be a tick.

Hawkins also takes an herbal treatment, something her daughter recommends, called the Cowden Protocol. It’s named after a physician named Wm. Lee Cowden who developed the alternative therapy for treatment of Lyme’s disease, and is pricey.

Her energy level has improved, Hawkins said, “but I don’t know if it’s the Lyme protocol or because I’m not so dizzy. Many symptoms of Lyme are also symptoms of a head injury, so it’s made it more complicated for me.”

An advocate for social change, Hawkins is not shy about knocking on legislator’s doors when it comes to tick-borne illnesses. In fact, she spent 25 years trying to get women elected to higher office through a group called Women Winning Now. She is not as active due to her health but Hawkins did meet with Rep. Betty McCollum earlier this summer to

STREET SWEEPING TO BEGIN White Bear Township’s fall sweeping program will begin the week of October 24, 2016. Please do not deposit leaves in the street, rightof-way or onto public property (i.e. park property, wetlands, storm ponds, etc.) Residents can dispose of leaves at the Ramsey County’s compost sites.

There is one conveniently located at 5900 Sherwood Road in the Township. You can visit the Ramsey County website to learn more about the locations and what is considered yard waste. www.ramseycounty.us/yardwaste Depositing any organic material (i.e. leaves, grass clippings, trash, and dirt) from the right-of-way or private property onto the street is prohibited. Depositing organic material in the street will eventually end up downstream into nearby streams, lakes and rivers. Decomposing plant material in the water encourages the production of phosphorous, which can promote growth of harmful aquatic plants and algae.

TOP 2 WAYS TO AVOID FRAUD – Thieves use clever schemes to defraud millions of people every year. They combine sophisticated technology with age-old tricks to get people to send money or give out personal information. They add new twists to old schemes & pressure people to make important decisions on the spot. Here are 2 things that can help you avoid scammers who try to call you: • Hang up on robocalls. If you pick up the phone & hear a recorded sales pitch, hang up & report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). These call are illegal & plentiful. Don’t press 1, 2 or any number to get off a list or speak to a person. That just means you’ll get even more calls.

• Don’t trust your caller ID. Scammers can make caller ID look like anyone is calling: the IRS, a business or government office… even your own phone number. If they tell you to pay money or ask for financial account numbers, hang up.

• A cup of coffee takes 55 gallons of water to make, with most of that H2O used to grow the coffee beans.

• It takes about 100 gallons of water to grow and process a single pound of cotton, and the average American goes through about 35 pounds of new cotton material each year. Do you really need that additional T-shirt?

IF YOU GO: PATHWAYS TO HEALING FROM LYME DISEASE The Minnesota Lyme Association is hosting Karen Vrchota, MD, from Integrative Health Care of Winona, to speak on integrative pathways to healing from Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14 at the White Bear Lake District Center, 4855 Bloom Ave. Vrchota will explain how inflammation feeds Lyme disease and strategies to reduce inflammation with changes in diet, massage, hormones, heavy metals and activity. The physician will also discuss FDA-cleared BioMat, Wellness Pro and Alpha-Stim machines for management of pain, anxiety and sleep. Representatives will be on hand to demonstrate the respective machines. discuss the Lyme epidemic.

Blanche Hawkins takes precautions to avoid tick bites in her Dellwood garden. She is married to Thane Hawkins, the owner of Polar Chevrolet in White Bear Lake. The two met in her home state of New York when Thane was a pilot in the Air Force.

park entrances warning hikers to stay on the trails because of ticks,” Hawkins noted. “She wasn’t very encouraging, which I expected. We need to put more pressure on these people.”

Something she’d like to see locally is a deer culling program in Dellwood similar to North Oaks.

The City Council in North Oaks formed a Tick Task Force to deal with the threat of tick-borne disease. The committee partially blames the deer population for Lyme disease incidence rates they say are higher in North Oaks than Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake. Deer management is one part of their approach to tick control.

Deer don’t carry the actual disease but provide a means for ticks to mate and a blood meal for the female. Ticks pick up the bacteria that causes Lyme disease from small mammals like mice and chipmunks.

An epidemiologist with the Department of Health, Dave Neitzel, said deer produce antibodies that protect them from Lyme infection. “A resurgence in the whitetail deer population does mean a resurgence in their parasites but it’s impossible to eliminate all the deer, and in many studies you just see the other deer with a lot more ticks on them,” he said. “If parasites don’t have deer to feed on, they will be on other mammals, including people.”

Hawkins added that newspaper publicity is not something she relishes.

“I am a private person,” she said. “I’m doing this because I want people to understand about Lyme disease. Dozens of my friends have gotten Lyme disease.”

Life moves at breakneck pace for most people these days. Work, home, kids, social obligations (...the list goes on and on) keep us running on empty most days. We often forget that in order to care for others we need to take care of ourselves. While massage and bodywork may feel like a luxury, it is an important component of self-care that most of us don’t get enough of.

Massage therapy is well known as a method of relaxation and self-care, which we can all use more of. But did you know that therapeutic massage has a long history of health benefits, both physical and mental/emotional?

Some Benefits of Massage: • Increase immunity - by stimulating the lymphatic system • Alleviate muscle pain and tension • Decreased stress • Decreased dependence on medication • Increased circulation • Relieves migraine symptoms and reduces frequency • Improves symptoms of insomnia, depression and anxiety • Lowers heart rate and blood pressure.

• Improves flexibility and range of motion Stress is a contributing factor to most every disease. Therapeutic massage decreases the stress hormone Cortisol, lowers heart rate, and lowers blood pressure. It also increases endorphins, our “feel good” hormones, and circulation throughout the body. Regular sessions can greatly impact our mental health as well as our physical health.

Every day we are bombarded by stimuli. It is important, now more than ever, to unplug both literally and figuratively. Massage is a wonderful way to treat yourself, while supporting health and wellness.

We are in-network providers for most major insurance companies.

SCHOOL BRIEFS

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

Local schools receive health grants Seven White Bear Lake Area schools were each awarded a $1,000 Game On grant from Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK) to improve physical activity and nutrition for their students. The seven schools were among 14 schools awarded the grant in Minnesota, and among 80 schools in five states. The funding was provided from Saputo Inc. The grants aim to expand student access to in-school physical activity and healthy foods, improve knowledge and behaviors around exercise and nutrition, and engage parents in activities that reinforce healthy habits at home.

Schools awarded the grant were Hugo Elementary, Oneka Elementary, Birch Lake Elementary, Lakeaires Elementary, Matoska International School and Otter Lake Elementary.

Science teacher helps out Dali Lama Mahtomedi High School life science instructor Jim Lane will be in Bir, India at the end of the month supporting Buddhist monastics in fulfilling a requirement mandated by the Dali Lama to understand Western science as they work toward a degree similar to a doctoral degree in divinity. Lane will spend six days with the monastics to answer the question “What is Life?” and collaborate with three other biology teachers from around the country. “The curriculum will be a crash course in modern biology and the nature of science, delivered through

translators,” Lane said. He received funding for the trip from the Knowles Science Teaching Foundation, of which he is a senior fellow, and departs for India Oct. 28. When he returns, Lane will report to students on what teaching life science in India was like. “Mr. Lane's work with Buddhist monastics will bring a unique perspective to our students through a first-hand global view we have not had in the past,” said Principal Kathe Nickelby.

Assistance available to first-year teachers Minnesota-based, national nonprofit AdoptAClassroom.org announced this month Alerus Mortgage’s $15,000 donation to the organization’s Twin Cities’ First Year Teacher Fund. The funds are to be disbursed this November to teachers in the Twin Cities who are beginning their careers. To be eligible to receive a portion of the funds, teachers need to register on AdoptAClassroom. org by Oct. 15. The money will be distributed equally among those registered by the deadline.

According to a study conducted by AdoptAClassroom.org, 91 percent of teachers purchase school materials for their students. U.S. teachers spend an average of nearly $600 a year out of their own pockets to equip their classrooms. Teachers new to the profession often spend more, given they are faced with empty classrooms and little or no supply budgets.

Red Cross blood drive A blood drive is planned 2 to 7 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 13 at Christ the Servant Church, 3676 Centerville Road, Vadnais Heights. For information or to make an appointment, go to www.redcrossblood. org and enter sponsor code “Christ the Servant” or call the church at 651-4296595.

The event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Washington County Fairgrounds from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. This is a great opportunity for families interested in 4-H or even current families to get handson and learn about all that 4-H has to offer. Washington County’s 4-H clubs will be in attendance with activities and demonstrations. Also at the event will be information and activities on performing arts, STEM, rabbits, horses, shooting sports, and more. This is event is free, open to the public, and families do not need to enroll in 4-H in order to attend the event.

Outdoor museum movie night On Thursday, Oct. 20, join the Washington County Historical Society for a night of relatively quiet suspense beneath the stars as the 1925 silent-film classic “The Phantom of the Opera” is screened at the Warden’s House Museum in Stillwater. The screening begins

at 6:30 p.m. and the museum will be open to the public from 5:30 p.m. until the film begins. The movie will be shown outside; dress warmly and bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. The Warden’s House is located at 602 Main St. N., Stillwater.

The selection of “The Phantom of the Opera” is not only appropriate for the Halloween season, but also because the film features the performance of Stillwater native Olive Ann Alcorn. Free event. Concessions will be available for purchase.

Pumpkins for sale Christ the Servant Lutheran Church in Vadnais Heights will hold a pumpkin patch sale in October. Pumpkins were expected to be on sale beginning Oct. 10 until sold out. Christ the Servant is located at 3676 Centerville Road.

OCTOBER 12, 2016 www.presspubs.com

BUSINESS BRIEFS Familiar face on weight loss commercial Recognize the face on the new Medifast commercial?

Cheryl Sievert, owner of The Mane Tease salon, filmed the TV commercial for the weight control center, which features success stories in the 15- and 30-second spots.

The White Bear Lake resident (Mahtomedi grad) and longtime downtown business owner has lost 32 pounds on the program.

“They asked me if I’d be interested to shoot a commercial and I thought it sounded Cheryl Sievert like fun. As it got closer, I got more nervous,” she said. Filming was done at KSTP studio in Minneapolis. There was no script, Sievert just answered questions. She got some new clothes out of the deal — which was good, as most of the things in her closet are too big — and free meals. The weight loss has made her a new person. “I feel great,” she said. “It’s amazing how I don’t have aches and pains anymore. It changes the way you think.” The commercial is running on three Twin Cities channels: 4, 5 and 9.

Date set for coffee/bagel opening The new Caribou & Einstein Bagels restaurant on County Road E expects to open Nov. 7.

CHURCH BRIEF Martin and Katie Luther drama announced Pastor Johan and Sonja Hinderlie will give a presentation called "Life with the Luthers" in full costume as Martin Luther and his wife Katie at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13. The drama will be 45 minutes long. An optional $5 lunch will be served at 11:45 a.m. The drama presentation is free; a freewill donation benefiting the World Mission Prayer League will be taken.

The Hinderlies have portrayed the roles of 16th century reformer Martin Luther and his wife Katarina since 1979. They present the story of the Reformation time in Germany. Katie also tells of her escape from the Nimbschen convent, life with Luther and coping with suffering and death in her family.

General Manager Michele Draves said the decor and menu will be similar to the downtown White Bear Lake store without the extensive tea line. The lobby will be much bigger, however. Draves said at 3,500 square feet, her store (formerly Dunn Brothers) is the biggest of all the Caribou & Einstein locations. The Caribou in the strip mall across the parking lot from the new space will close. Hours will be expanded to an earlier opening on weekdays. Monday through Friday, the coffee shop/ bagel spot will open at 5 a.m. and close at 9 p.m. Weekend openings are 6 a.m.

"We are really excited to open the new location," Draves said, "and the community seems excited to have the drive-thru back." There will be specials and a friends and family event scheduled as the opening gets closer.

Good appreciation on apartment complex Several media outlets report that the 304-unit White Bear Woods sold for $43.5 million to Bloomington-based Timberland Partners. The apartment complex, located at 4779 Centerville Road, was sold by LivCor, a Chicago company that purchased the property for $37.6 million in April 2015. Upgrades are planned with higher-end finishes and appliances, according to news reports.

Starbucks opens in Vadnais Vadnais Heights Starbucks, located at 1016 East Highway 96, opened Oct. 3. Manager Martin Schaffner previously managed a Starbucks in Roseville. He has been with Starbucks for four years. Schaffner is originally from Switzerland and has lived in the U.S. for 10 years. He has 20 employees and still wants to hire a few more. Hours are 4:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.

Punch Neapolitan Pizza, located in the same building next to Starbucks, is expected to open in early November, reported Jim Volp, owner of Heights Plaza.

POLITICAL BRIEF Candidate forum Oct. 18 Candidates running for office from Districts 38 and 43 will hold a debate and hear your concerns 7:30 to 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 18. These are the two Senate Districts that take in most of White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi and Vadnais Heights. Hosted by the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce, the forum will be held at the Vadnais Heights Country Inn & Suites, 3505 Vadnais Center Drive.

Manufacturing business wins award DuFresne Manufacturing announced the company was a winner in the Corporate Image Award at the Minnesota Business Manufacturing Awards last Thursday.

Loon chronicles XVIII - XIX The chick is really enjoying the cooler weather. We have spotted her playing and hanging with the other chicks. They usually find each other early in the morning and again at sunset.

The coots’ arrival is another sure sign of fall. They gather in huge flocks and often nudge the weaker birds to the outer edge of the flock. The eagles watch for this and often swoop down and snatch those less fortunate coots stuck on the outer edge. While this goes on, often for weeks, the chicks can move about with more confidence and work on bulking up for migration.

We have not seen any adult loons since mid September. — Ellen Maas

Bear gridders foiled by Woodbury at homecoming

Bears quarterback Tristin Dacus puts up a pass to Jessiah Majest for a touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Homecoming game vs Woodbury.

DALE GRAMBUSH | SUBMITTED

Bears defensive back #21 Kyle Preslaski comes up with the interception.

White Bear Lake football seemed poised to break into the win column but fell to Woodbury 50-23 after an encouraging start Friday.

Coming off a strong performance the week before at Mounds View, and facing a below-.500 team, Woodbury, at homecoming, the Bears fired up a huge crowd by scoring the first touchdown, except that it was called back.

The 27-yard pass play from Daniel Lyons to Roshawn Mikell was nullified by a holding penalty.

Deflated, the Bears (0-6) trailed 28-0 at halftime.

The Bears perked up in the second half, with Jessiah Majest reaching the end zone three times. He carried 29 times for 151 yards, scoring on runs of one and 27 yards plus a 12-yard pass from Tristin Dacus.

Lyons was 5-for-16 for 41 yards and Dacus 5-for-9 for 72 yards.

Woodbury quarterback Jake West bedeviled the Bears, passing for 200 yards and five touchdowns (three to Jeremiah Coddon and two to Michael Jones), and rushing for 117 yards and one touchdown. The Royals (3-3) have won three straight.

The Bears will host Stillwater on Friday. This will be their annual Harvest Bowl in which three or more non-perishable food items are accepted in lieu of paid admission. Also, new Hall of Fame members Jon Anderson and Andrea Peterson will be presented at halftime.

Civil War uniform restored to former glory by local business

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

STILLWATER — Though the great battlefields of the Civil War were mostly located in the eastern states, Minnesota has quite a few strong connections to the historic struggle. In this case, the connection came to Stillwater in the form of an original Union soldier uniform, which was expertly restored to museum quality by Treasured Garment Restoration.

The uniform originally belonged to Leonard G. Dennis, who served in the Union army as a teenager. Dennis was originally from Massachusetts, but served in Florida during the war, and made his home there after the war ended. He later served as a state senator in Florida, and was best known for being involved with the ballot-stuffing scandal that threw the 1876 presidential election to the Republican nominee, Rutherford B. Hayes.

Duane Schumann is the restoration production manager at Treasured Garment Restoration. He performed most of the restoration work on the uniform personally.

“It’s really cool because this piece is small, [it looks like] it was for a 12-year-old kid,” Schumann said. “[Dennis] was known as the Little Giant; they made a play on his initials. He has a history with politics.

Being that we’re going through this political state and this is part of the Civil War, this is pretty cool.”

The uniform before it was restored.

The uniform was sent to Schumann by a family from Florida, some of Dennis’ great-great-greatgrand relatives who have passed down the artifact as a family heirloom. Schumann said the family once attempted to offer it to a museum, but the process was complicated by a change of curators, and the family wound up keeping it instead. They found Treasured Garment Restorations online, and inquired about restoration. Schumann was more than pleased to take a look. After the finishing touches are added, the uniform will be mounted in a shadow frame to display in the family’s residence.

This historic artifact is particularly notable, but Treasured Garment Restoration takes on unusual and historic projects all the time, Schumann said.

The business began in 2008 as a specialty cleaning division of St. Croix Cleaners. Based in Stillwater, Treasured Garment Restoration specializes in cleaning, pressing and preserving wedding gowns and restoring garments and textiles that are damaged by age, fire or water. Services also range to vintage restoration as well as specialty cleaning of costumes and high-end materials. Treasured Garment Restoration partners with a multitude of local theaters, including the Guthrie Theatre and the Children’s Theatre.

Schumann said he has also taken on work from the Minnesota Historical Society, preserving some of the historic garments that are on display at the History Museum.

“Vintage restoration is my favorite thing to do,” Schumann said.

His interest in old artifacts began early — he remembers going to thrift stores with his grandmother and being fascinated by the styles of clothing he saw. He was especially intrigued by the way lace was made. Eventually, he began working for a leather cleaning company, learning the precise methods for removing blemishes from leather. This was followed by a stint in dirt redemption, which taught him a lot about how to extract grime and chemicals from contaminated materials.

“When they dig up gas stations and cleaners that have toxic ground, they would bring it to us, so that’s how I learned to do pH sampling,” Schumann said.

He brought this chemical expertise back to the field of restoration when he moved back into the cleaning business, offering fire and vintage restoration before

joining Treasured Garment Restoration. Over the years he said he has built a camaraderie with the Minnesota Historical Society, and has done quite a few pieces for museums.

“If you asked the Historical Society for someone who could restore vintage clothes, they would refer you to me,” Schumann said. “It just turned into a tremendous job. I don’t look at it as a job; it’s a fun place to come.”

Restoration can be very delicate work, Schumann said.

“You definitely have to focus in on what you’re doing; there’s a lot of patience and testing and research,” Schumann said. “The challenging part is when you have something that old and you’re trying to work around insect holes. Basically, when you have a hole in anything, the strength of the fiber is compromised.

The area around that is very weak. So to try to get around those areas that are missing some fabric without tearing or distorting is challenging.”

Over the years, Schumann has developed a specific formula for ensuring the best results in the restoration process.

“I’ve been developing it for a while, and it allowed me to do some of these artifacts and be able to get the trust and respect of the historical society,” he said.

“Saturation, agitation and extraction. We developed a method to restore vintage fibers that are weakened without destroying them. We’ll use tag cloth and cheesecloth to wet it down, and that’s where the agitation comes in, as far as blotting and forcing some of the solvent into the material. Then we allow solvent-based cleaner to roll into the piece, with no pressure. Then we use a multi-stage vacuum, pulling out impurities to bring it back to a lustrous look.”

With the application of this method to the uniform, Schumann was able to preserve it just as he would a museum artifact. He said restoring the uniform was definitely an exciting endeavor.

“It’s really a neat piece of history,” Schumann said.

“There’s not a lot of pieces floating around that are original Civil War pieces, and when you find them, it’s good to know it’s not forgotten.”

Student mentors relish role Two dancers have spent countless hours creating a "leadership and mentoring forum" at Inspiration Performing Arts Center in Mahtomedi.

Mahtomedi High School seniors Annie Hoffman and Caroline Rutkiewicz saw an opportunity to further develop a cohesive mentoring program to lift each other up and empower each other to be “efficient, compassionate mentors.” They are bringing older dancers into the studio alongside brand-new ballerinas to demonstrate how performance arts builds community both inside and outside the studio.

“The Leadership and Mentoring Forum was designed to gather mentors in a safe place and equip them with the skills they need to lead with positivity and professionalism,” Hoffman said. “Caroline and I are inspired by the culture of service and inclusion of the Performing Arts Center, so the material we covered prioritized concepts including praising effort instead of ability, positive reinforcement and developmentally appropriate expectations.”

Owner Katie Owings is grateful to have the young women lead the program. “These students are shining examples of our mission. The world definitely needs more ‘difference makers.’”

Added Rutkiewicz, “Annie and I want to make sure

the younger students have positive and inspiring mentors to look up to. After older students had an influence on me, I wanted to make sure that others and I could become those same mentors. It’s always nice to hear from parents who say that fellow mentors have made an impact on their younger children.”

The school is located at 758 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi.

Stillwater artist presents ‘Strong Women’ gallery to honor Mexican culture

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

WHITE BEAR LAKE – Just after Mexican Independence Day (Sept.

16), an art show arrived at White Bear Unitarian Universalist Church in Mahtomedi that celebrates the strong women who anchor communities, especially in Latino culture.

A resident of Boutwells Landing in Stillwater, Jimmy Longoria has created a series called “Strong Women,” which went on display Sept. 25.

As one of the most prominent Latino artists in Minnesota, Longoria has racked up an impressive list of artistic achievements, including a permanent display in the National Museum of Mexican Art, a Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. “Living the Dream” award and a Sally Award from the Ordway, among others.

Margery McAlpine, who assisted Longoria in setting up the “Strong Women” gallery, said the church art galleries are a well-kept secret.

“It's a hidden gem here in Mahtomedi,” she said. “It's an amazing community over there. The galleries were designed when they added on to the old church that was there. It's perfect for photography shows and smaller art. The church in general is trying to keep it from becoming a gallery and not a church! And the shows go up every six weeks to two months. And they're wonderful shows.”

The church displays the work of approximately seven to eight artists every year, McAlpine said, most of them from the Twin Cities or even closer to home. Some members of

the church have even presented galleries there.

For this show, Longoria knew exactly where to start.

“I had always been working on the idea that our society and our cul-

ture survives because of women,” he said. “Our aesthetic choices are imprinted by our moms, when they create our environment. And they influence what we value because they tell us, 'This is a pretty bird.'

For most human beings, the aesthetic foundation is laid by your mother.

So it comes down from women.”

Longoria said that part of the inspiration from the project comes from looking at the future of America, which is projected to have a largely Latino population in the next 50 years.

“Latinos will be either dominant in different sectors because they'll be at the right age bracket across the country,” Longoria said. “Everybody will be married to or related to a Latino.”

The church heard of Longoria's tendency to work in large canvases, and invited him to do a show in its expansive gallery. When he heard that the show was to be set in September, he immediately saw a way to connect it to his Latino heritage.

“That's coincidentally Mexico's independence, and one of the biggest issues right now is Mexican immigration,” he said. “People want to dance around it, but really it's certain parts of our society reacting to Mexicans, and that it's the Mexican that's coming and invading American culture. Well, white bread is dead. You go in and there are more brands of tortilla than there are of bread. Everybody gets corn chips.

Chili and salsa have already left ketchup behind. So the cultural invasion by Mexican culture is over.

It's all here. For me, this was easy. I said, I need to tie it to that.”

Longoria has done extensive historical research about the Mexican Revolution to inform his art. He said that few people recognize that Mexican immigration into America is really a result of the Mexican Revolution.

“It was overshadowed by our Depression and the fi rst World War, but it was a crucial thing that happened, and the early waves of refugees from Mexico, were the educated class who was caught between the peasants and the ruling class.

So the early settlement of Mexicans

in North America is a result of that.

So the idea was to go back and fi nd the strong woman in the Mexican Revolution, and that was easy, because Adelita is there.”

Adelita was the subject of a soldier's ballad during the Mexican Revolution, which stretched from 1910-1920. She came to be recognized as a woman warrior in the struggle, often depicted in art wearing cartridge belts and carrying a gun.

“When you create a rebel force, women are essential to keep the men in battle,” Longoria said. “So you have the men in front going out to shoot each other, and you have the women coming along behind to tend to the wounded, to gather food. Adelita follows her sweetheart, and he gets killed, and she takes on another man, and then at the end, when they're out of men, the women step forward. So the Mexican Revolution comes to a weird ending – it's kind of suspended. But the idea is that you have women who came back from the revolution who are accustomed to having a .30-06 [rifle] and knowing how to use it, also having a .35 caliber Colt and knowing how to use it. After 1920, you're not seeing Mexico set up as a culture where men rule without consequences.”

The show also aims to portray a diverse representation of Mexican women.

“Most artists when they do Mexicans, they do bronze colored people,” Longoria said. “Well the reality is, there are blond blueeyed Mexicans. Increasingly we're seeing it's hard to tell a Latino, a Latina. But what's consistent is this culture: strong family. And at the center of the strong family culture is Mom. So trying to go and capture ageless women, and the idea is to say, let's understand, if you encounter a Latino culture in North America, behind everything is this very strong determined woman.”

White Bear Unitarian Universalist Church is located at 328 Maple St., Mahtomedi. The show runs until Nov. 9.

That sound you heard over the weekend was your furnace kicking in for the first time, at least for some of us. Although we missed our first freezing temperature, at least on the thermometer, you might have experienced a frost either on Saturday or Sunday morning. I didn’t see frost on the ground where I live, but did observe frost on rooftops and car windows. I totaled 1.13” of rain on Oct 6-7 which fell in line with other area observations.

Jackson, et al.) and their pipe-smoking, shape-shifting, longtime guardian (Eva Green).

BY LOUISE ERNEWEIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The next trail to be constructed in the township will likely be built by a prison inmate work crew.

At the Oct. 3 meeting, board supervisors heard that staff hoped to secure the services of an Institution Community Work Crew (ICWC) for at least one new trail-building project.

Under the ICWC program, operated by the Minnesota Department of Corrections, a team of up to 10 convicted offenders is supervised by a crew leader, performing up to 10 hours of manual labor per day on a project at a cost of $475, or $675 for an overtime day (Friday through Sunday).

In White Bear Township, that project — estimated to take 1-2 days — is likely to be the construction of a new trail at the Hidden Pond development, linking Selena Circle with nearby Longville Park.

Town Planner Tom Riedesel said the decision to budget for 2-3 days of work by an ICWC crew at the start of the year was a pragmatic one.

“We don’t have enough [Public Works] staff to build a trail,” he explained after the meeting. “Well, OK — we do, but then what don’t we want to do that week (instead)? Whereas we would probably assign someone from Public Works to work with (the prison crew), taking wood chips.”

Riedesel said the township had a history of working with similar community service groups in the past, although this would be the township’s first experience working with incarcerated offenders.

“For some of the inmates, the work crew provides a first experience of gainful employment.”

(Oct. 6). Committee members spoke in support of obtaining feedback from the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office and references from other communities that have already used the program. The contract will come back to the regular town board meeting Oct. 17 for further discussion or final approval.

In other action at the October 3 meeting, town board supervisors: • Received updates on two projects involving the old White Bear Town Hall, now in its new location in Polar Lakes Park. Under the first project, worth $90,555, Menomonie, Wisconsin-based contractor Pember Companies Inc. will complete site and landscaping work (to include concrete work, grading and retaining walls) before a deadline of Nov. 4. Husnik Homes, of White Bear Township, was awarded the $44,681 contract for the building project and will perform repairs to the roof, stucco and eave structure of the building once the site improvements have taken place.

• Approved an exception for a 1,040-square-foot storage facility at 5326 East Bald Eagle Boulevard to house a long sailboat. Town ordinance permits accessory structures up to 1,000 square feet.

• Approved a license agreement with the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization for the construction of a wetland treatment system at Columbia Park.

• Received the third quarter report summarizing construction within White Bear Township. Total permit revenue to date for 2016 is $93,207; the total valuation of improvements and construction to date is $10.7 million.

VADNAIS HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Vadnais Heights City Council took the following action at its Oct. 5 meeting: • Announced the city's new website. The website, located at the same URL, cityvadnaisheights.com, features online bill paying, email notifications sign-up, submissions of ideas and questions, a calendar, city news and upcoming events on its home page.

• Approved five bow hunting permits for residents in the city, which helps maintain a balanced deer population within the city.

• Approved a rezoning of the Vadnais Square strip mall to include storage, warehousing and nonprofit organizations as potential tenants for three empty spots behind Fresh Thyme, Pet Supplies Plus and Dollar Tree.

• Approved potential street improvement projects for 2017. Potential streets include: Clearbrook Lane from Greenhaven Drive S. to Greenhaven Drive N.; Oakhurst Avenue from Clearbrook Lane to the north cul-de-sac; Springhill Road from Greenhaven Drive S. to Rosebriar Avenue; Willow Grove Lane from Bramblewood Avenue to Greenhaven Drive; Heritage Court W. from Evergreen Drive to the west cul-de-sac; Krey Avenue from Oak Creek Drive S. to the north 300 feet; and Bramblewood Avenue from Highway 96 to Greenhaven Drive. All streets are residential. The total cost of the projects is estimated at $920,000. Residents are assessed 50 percent of the cost of street projects in Vadnais Heights. Residents will be notified and open houses and hearings will be held on the proposed assessments, City Engineer Mark Graham reported.

• Approved a development agreement for Liberty Village, a senior housing facility to be located at 3180 Edgerton Street. A spokesperson from Hampton Properties reported construction will begin “shortly.” The developer also plans to work with the city to put up a Vadnais Heights sign on the property close to the city's border at I-694.
