How to help
There are many ways to help a loved one, co-worker, neighbor or friend experiencing abuse. Your support will be a critical part of a victim’s path to safety and will help create a violence-free society for all. Below are 11 steps you could take to helping someone in your life: 1. Call for help 2. Be there 3. Believe the story 4. Offer choices 5. Be supportive 6. Help out 7. Be a mentor 8. Educate yourself 9. Advocate 10. Speak out 11. Teach non-violence
Domestic violence, intimate partner violence, dating abuse and relationship abuse, does not discriminate. It can impact people of any race, gender, sexuality, religion, education level, or economic status and often looks different from relationship to relationship. First observed in October 1981 as a national “Day of Unity,� Domestic Violence Awareness Month is held each October as a way to unite advocates across the nation in their efforts to end domestic violence. Communities and advocacy organizations across the country connect with the public and one another throughout the month to raise awareness about the signs of abuse and ways to stop it, and to uplift survivor stories and provide additional resources to leaders and policymakers. Ashley Guthrie Ashley Guthrie’s life looks very different now than it did a few years
ago. The 32-year-old Hugo resident says her friends have always joked that her life is like a Michael Myers movie. “I have been in the worst relationships. I pick the worst guys,� she said. “It is kind of a pattern.� Guthrie said she has been in five emotionally abusive relationships, some of which turned into physical abuse too. Guthrie reconnected with someone she went to high school with. They got married, bought a home and had a daughter. “He kind of always had this underlying drinking problem and I didn’t realize how bad it was,�
G Guthrie said. “The d drinking got extremely bad, to the point where he wasn’t even hiding it anymore.� Guthrie recalled an incident where she went downstairs to wake up her husband and, in the process, slipped on his own vomit on the floor. She woke him up from a drunken nap and he got very angry. The police were called. “That is one thing (physical abuse) he never did. It is something that I used to justify a lot of things he did. He doesn’t hit me like my other boyfriends did. He doesn’t throw me at elevators or push me down the stairs,� she said. Guthrie recalled another incident while she was pregnant where her husband was drinking, depressed, and put a loaded gun to his head. “He went to put the gun down and it went off and went through our floor,� she said. “I told him if he ever brought a loaded gun out ever again, I would leave him.� She stuck to that ultimatum.

When her father died Oct. 2, Mari Pew wrote a letter to Art’s neighbors on Manitou Island. She wanted to share the sad news that her dad was now reunited with his beloved Judy, “riding the golden train of heaven together again.� She also wanted to thank them for being wonderful neighbors these past decades after the family moved to White Bear Lake from Chicago in 1970 when Art took a job with Burlington Northern Railroad. “Of the many options of places they were offered, it was the embodiment of Manitou Island and its natural, untamed wonders that brought the Pew Zoo home here for 50 happy, amazing years,� Mari wrote. Mari said her dad, she called him Boppa, was a humble and simple man who insisted his children justify in writing why they needed something. “Dad’s idea of fancy was a Radio Shack stereo,� noted Art’s youngest daughter. “He wasn’t materialistic and was always about living within your means. He never drove a new car. He had an old banana-yellow Ford Fairlane with rust. Yellow is a railroad car color.� Keep in mind, this is a man whose grandfather co-founded the Pew Charitable Trusts, a multibillion-dollar nonprofit based in Philadelphia. Formed in 1948 by the children of Joseph Newton Pew, who founded Sun Oil Company (Sunoco), the nonpartisan Pew Trusts serve the public interest by “improving public policy, informing the public and invigorating civic life.� The well-known Pew Research Center, a think tank in Washington, D.C., is a subsidiary.

Apple Pie... oh my!
Audrey Barry, junior soccer forward, blasted two goals to spark Mahtomedi in a 3-1 win over Hill-Murray for the Metro East tournament championship last week. Barry hit the post in the first minute but kept the pressure on and found the net in the third minute to open the scoring. “She had her motor running the whole game,” coach Dave Wald said. Barry made it 3-1 in the second half. She has scored six of the team’s 16 goals in a 6-1-1 season. Barry played for state championship teams in grades 9-10-11, notching a state tourney goal as a freshman. She was a backup behind a pair of current Division I players before b efore getting her chance to start this year.

The Mahtomedi tennis team cruised through the fi rst two rounds of the Section 4AA tournament last week and moved within one match of what would be a duel of unbeatens for the section championship. The Zephyrs, led by senior Lauren Splett and freshman Annika Munson at the top two singles spots, dispatched Fridley and White Bear Lake, each 7-0. The No. 2 seeded Zephyrs took on No. 3 Stillwater in the semifi nals on Monday. Barring upsets, the Zephyrs would face top-seeded, defending champion Mounds View there Wednesday. That would be a high-profi le match to end the season, with no state tournament on tap this year.

Buelke, Lily Lindquist and Anabel Hillstrom had assists. A third clash between No. 4 ranked Mahtomedi and No. 7 Hill-Murray is likely, as they usually meet in sectionals also. Mahtomedi is top seed. The conference added a tournament this year due to pandemic rules mandating a shorter schedule against only conference teams. The top four teams played a round robin for the official 2020 title. The Zephyrs (6-1-1) tied Henry Sibley 0-0 and beat Hastings 2-0 before beating the Pioneers (5-2-3). Mahtomedi has won or shared all but three conference titles since 1995.

Be safe, stay safe
C
ANCER IS A dreaded word for anyone alive today. Every family seems to have someone being treated or has died from the big C. It’s scary, but there are a lot of tests that can be done to catch it and treat it at an early stage. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many women put off being tested during the pandemic. Don’t put that off any longer. Hospitals and clinics are now open. I encourage you to get back on schedule with the screening beginning at age 40. Men, it’s time to have a blood test to get a reading on your PSA if you are 40 or older. No man has to die from prostate cancer, but you can’t ignore it. Statistics show that if you are 50 years old, there is a 50%chance you will have it. If you are 60, there is a 60% chance, etc. Immunity is rare. Both Kathy and I are cancer survivors. We are very thankful for research and the treatments available here in the Midwest. That’s firsthand experience. Medical care also is required About the periodically in the area of dental and complete physical exams. Be alert to Town your family history and any symptoms Gene Johnson you might be experiencing. FROM THE OLD Farmer’s 2020 Almanac, compliments of Boys Town, comes a weather proverb for October: Much rain in October, much wind in December. For every fog in October, a snow in the winter. Full moon in October without frost, no frost until full moon in November. THE FALL AND Winter edition of the old Farmer’s Almanac tells us the origin of Halloween. As with many holidays, Halloween is rooted in our agricultural past, marking the end of harvest time and the beginning of the new year. The origin of Halloween and many of its customs can be traced to Samhain, an ancient pagan Celtic festival that is Gaelic for “summer’s end,” a day to bid goodbye to warmth and light. The ancient Celts believed that the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead was at its thinnest during Samhain, thereby making it the ideal time to communicate with the deceased and to divine the future. Following the triumph of the Roman Empire over Celt-occupied lands in the 1st century A.D., the Romans combined many of the Celtic traditions, including Samhain, with their own. This day evolved into All Hallows’ Day or Allhallowmas, “hallow” meaning “to sanctify.” BE CAUTIOUS IF you are allowing your children to go trick–or–treating. Be sure they wear a protective mask. Also, hand the children wrapped candy rather than having them reach into your container. THE PANDEMIC WE are in with this dangerous virus means we need to continue healthy and safe practices. Use a mask whenever you are in public places or visiting with people where you don’t have open air and adequate space between you. Wash your hands often and have a safe work environment with good air flow, separation of work areas, avoid crowds and work from home whenever it’s possible. If driving with people in the car other than your family, have them wear a mask and crack open a couple windows. Choose restaurants that have adequate space between tables and good ventilation. More and more offices are putting in air exchange units with good filtering. Whenever possible, avoid meetings in person. Rather, use the phone, FaceTime or Zoom. If you have college kids and they test positive for the virus, have them quarantine at college. A GOOD FALL harvest of soybeans and corn is projected for our area of newspaper readers in Minnesota and Wisconsin. A good reason to be thankful. THANK YOU SUBSCRIBERS to this paper. Your support is more important than ever. Thank you to our loyal advertisers, too. Our staffs are working extra hard, too. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month
A
month-long campaign to prevent childhood bullying and promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion Sixteen years ago, PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center established National Bullying Prevention Month. The campaign’s powerful message that bullying should never be a part of childhood unites communities nationwide to educate and raise awareness of bullying prevention. What is bullying? The Movers & image of a larger boy pushing Shakers around a smaller classmate comes Julie Hertzog to mind when the word “bullying” is used. Physical bullying, such as hitting and shoving, is easy to recognize, but bullying also includes spreading gossip, purposeful exclusion, and negative online conversations and behavior. Bullying can cause more emotional than physical damage. Students often describe bullying as, “Someone making you feel less about who you are as a person.” Although definitions vary, an act is defined as bullying when: • The behavior hurts, humiliates, or harms another person physically or emotionally • Those doing the behavior have intent, and those targeted by the
behavior have difficulty stopping the action or defending themselves • There is a real or perceived “imbalance of power,” in which the student exhibiting the bullying behavior has more “power,” either physically, socially, or emotionally Bullying behavior is often repeated, but it can occur in a single incident that is either very severe or arises from a pattern of other behaviors. You can make a difference. During October and beyond, show that you care: 1. Have a conversation with your children. Bullying often makes kids feel powerless, leading to issues with self-esteem and confidence. Discuss how to handle hurtful behavior early and often, in the same way you discuss being safe while swimming, going to a mall, or spending time with friends. It’s never up to a child to stop the bullying on their own, but you can involve them in the solution by helping them learn to advocate for themselves. Speaking up, expressing needs, and taking action are essential self-advocacy tools. When children know that there are options for regaining control or influencing a difficult situation, they gain resilience. 2. Reinforce kindness, acceptance and inclusion. Positive adult role modeling, mentoring, and age-appropriate approaches to kindness, acceptance, and inclusion impact how children treat each other. Young children are just learning what it means to get along with others. Practice
role-playing activities, play games, create art, explore feelings, and establish a clear set of behavioral rules. These strategies reinforce positive relationships and behaviors, and are key to helping kids get along, which can help prevent bullying. 3. Promote and celebrate Unity Day on Wednesday, Oct. 21. Unity Day, started by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center in October 2011, is the signature event of National Bullying Prevention Month. The call to action is simple: wear and share the color orange to unite for kindness, acceptance and inclusion. This vibrant statement becomes a conversation starter, showing support for students who have been bullied and for bullying prevention. #UnityDay2020 PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center actively leads social change to prevent childhood bullying, so that all youth are safe and supported in their schools, communities, and online. PACER Center provides innovative resources for students, parents, educators, and others, and recognizes bullying as a serious community issue that impacts education, physical and emotional health, and the safety and well-being of students. For more information and resources on bullying prevention, visit PACER.org/bullying or call 952838-9000. Julie Hertzog is the author, director of PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PAID LETTER Stofferahn supports those with disabilities
As a person with a disability, the next election is especially important to me for many reasons — from protecting medical assistance for people with disabilities, having more affordable and wheelchair accessible housing — and on this 30th anniversary of the American With Disabilities Act — making sure that all people are able to live full lives in our community. All of these things are under threat. That is why with an election as important as this, it’s vital to get involved. I am extremely excited that Justin Stofferahn is running to be my state senator. I know Justin will be a great senator. He listens — truly listens. I am confident that when he becomes my state senator, that I’ll be able to connect with him on issues that are critical for people with disabilities. And that he’ll not only listen but will act. It’s time we have a senator that works for all of us! No matter what issues you may be passionate about protecting or advocating for, it matters that we show up. It matters that we get involved. It matters that our elected representatives and senators are protecting what we believe is so important. Justin Smith White Bear Township
PAID LETTER Rogers, Goebel have our support
Members of my household are happy to add our voices to the supportive letters in the Vadnais Press endorsing the candidacy of Steve Rogers and Erik Goebel for Vadnais Heights City Council. Both candidates advocate for transparency in government, which has unfortunately been lacking in many levels of government today. Steve and Erik want to make sure they listen to diverse views so as to represent all of our city’s citizens. Attention to environmental sustainability will not only save resources but be more economical for our city and make it more attractive to businesses and residents alike. Therefore, these candidates advocate for joining the Green Step cities program. Additionally, both Steve and Erik are dedicated to keeping Vadnais a special place to live, which includes being attentive to roads and other infrastructure. They have our votes, and I hope they win your support as well! Louis Asher Vadnais Heights
PAID LETTER Chamberlain understands our struggles
When I vote Nov. 3, I want somebody who represents me and my family, not the government. I want someone who is independent of the governor. I have researched SD38 candidate Justin Stofferahn, and all I see is that he is for more government regulation and control of our lives. Justin was a lobbyist for the Coalition for Greater Minnesota Cities to renew $1 billion in taxpayer subsidies (LGA) for cities. For several years Justin worked for the Minnesota Department of Revenue and, before that, the government in Illinois. Right now, he’s an “advocate” for a nonprofit that’s trying to channel the power of unions to pressure for stiffer environmental regulations. Of course I support protecting our environment, but it must be done with full consideration of all of our needs — including our economy. Many people in the private sector have gone through two recessions in a dozen years. They have had to change jobs, get rehired or retrained and spend down their savings while being laid off just to stay afloat financially. Justin
Stofferahn has been a “more government” fellow for years and has little understanding of the real world the rest of us live in. The question all of us should ask is, “Who will put me and my family’s needs first?” My vote will be to reelect Sen. Roger Chamberlain, who as a citizen legislator personally knows the struggles most of us endure to support a family, educate kids and build a nest egg. Sen. Chamberlain is the hardest-working elected representative of the people I have had the privilege of helping to elect. Please consider voting to reelect Sen. Chamberlain. Scott Nintzel White Bear Township
PAID LETTER Morse is the right choice for Vadnais Heights
We will be voting for Bob Morse for Vadnais Heights City Council. We have had the privilege of living near Bob for many years. He always takes time to listen and takes action on behalf of the people he represents. As just one of many examples, shortly after Bob was elected, a resident asked him about the lack of a drop-off site for organic food waste in the city. Within a matter of weeks, he had a compost dumpster installed in the parking lot next to City Hall. Bob is a banker, so he brings financial expertise and fiscal responsibility to the City Council. He has saved the city large amounts of money in his first term on City Council, and would continue to be fiscally responsible for the city going forward. Bob Morse is a kind, passionate and responsible leader. He has been a smart and responsible advocate for the residents of Vadnais Heights in his first term and is exactly the type of leader this city needs going forward. Please join us in supporting his sensible and effective leadership, and vote for Bob Morse. Jean and Scott Crow Vadnais Heights
PAID LETTER Engen will keep funding police
We need a strong, solid, sensible, local representative who has the good of our communities, businesses, and residents at heart. We need Elliott Engen to represent us. Defunding the police will not help anyone, let alone any of us, living in this community. Do people remember Minneapolis? Portland? Chicago? Louisville, Kentucky? Michigan? New York City? And almost ... Hugo, Minnesota! To not hold accountable people who have violent, abusive, totally anti-police and anti-authoritarian morals and values is not the way Americans should live. Nor should Minnesotans. Our police are there to help us. Would you rather have a social worker trying to help talk a robber out of robbing your house? Or talking to a crazy person high on meth and fentanyl, talking them out of trying to commit a crime or hurt somebody or kill somebody while they are brandishing a knife or a gun? It’s not even sensible. It’s not a rational thing to think that the police could ever be eliminated or defunded. Elliot Engen is a strong, vocal supporter and believer in our law enforcement. We want successful, community-based police departments in our districts. His opponent voted in the House in June 2020 to defund the police. It’s easy to look up which legislators voted to defund our law enforcement. But now she’s somehow turned it around so she said she does not want to defund the police. She has supported defunding the police since the beginning of this campaign. Her voting record says it all. There was nothing said about the John Thompson debacle in Hugo by any DFL
candidates or politicians ... Yeah, it’s a mile out of her district! So does that mean you don’t condemn what he did to those people and that community? Does that mean that all you do is say the language that that person used was wrong? There was never an apology for the actual action. Only the language. That was not the whole picture at all. There were pinatas made to depict two residents in that neighborhood, hitting the pinatas with sticks, swearing and yelling at young girls, walking around on people’s private property, using graffiti and tarnishing of public and private property by writing things on the street — which the residents themselves cleaned up after. And that seems to always be the case! People cleaning up who did not cause the destruction and looting and rioting and causing property damage, because the actual instigators will not do it. And Elliot Engen was right out there with them in Minneapolis, helping clean up the mess! There were no Democratic candidates out there helping at all. Only conservative candidates were out cleaning up the mess that all those other “peaceful protesters” created. With no law enforcement, this whole community would be a disaster ... businesses could not call someone if they were being broken into. People could not call for help if they were getting raped, mugged or abused in any way because there would be no one to call if there were no police because the police as we know them had been defunded. No one would protect our personal property. It is a very unethical, valueless way to live in a community without law enforcement to protect the residents, businesses and citizens in our communities. So, let’s keep our communities safe, protected by law enforcement, by strong candidates who believe in protecting our rights and our safety and our livelihood. Make your vote count. Vote for someone who will fight for our rights and our safety and our well-being ... every person, no matter which side of the aisle they’re on. Because we sure wouldn’t want another situation like almost happened in Hugo, Minnesota. And it very well could happen, with no law enforcement around to help stop this. Laurie Carlson White Bear Lake
PAID LETTER Justin has my vote
Birchwood Village has a wonderful opportunity to elect a qualified, community-centered person to its City Council, Justin McCarthy. In my interactions with Justin, he has displayed a knowledge of Birchwood priorities such as increasing public participation in governance and improving financial accountability. He recognizes the need for long-term planning to ease our tax burdens. He will work with volunteers and committees to move forward the work of enhancing our parks and making our roads safer. Justin will work to ensure that new subdivisions respect the community that is Birchwood Village. This will entail a clear review and updating of the city code book as well as mechanisms for education and enforcement of ordinances and procedures. A vote for Justin is a vote for transparency, honesty and the welcoming spirit he will bring to the work of the council. He has my vote! Mary Sue Simmons Birchwood
PAID LETTER Rush Line wrong for White Bear I suspect that the folks at the Metropolitan Council, Mayor Jo Emerson and Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt are secretly thrilled that COVID-19 and public unrest came along to help take the focus off the Rush Line BRT project that they are collectively shoving down
the throats of White Bear Lake, White Bear Township, Gem Lake and Vadnais Heights residents. Case in point: the most recent bulletin released by the Ramsey County Rush Line Policy Advisory Committee was reporting what they heard in the station survey that they conducted. Search online for Rush Line BRT Project and then look for “E-Newsletter archive.” You’ll find all types of charts and information, but the one that tells the tale is the one accompanied by “Figure 5: Frequency of Transit Use by City of Residence.” It breaks down the intentions of those surveyed about how often they intend to actually use the buses which will be roaring into WBL every 10 minutes. If you look at how many people responded “Never,” “Occasionally” and “For special events” and remove those classifications from the chart, you’ll see that hardly anyone actually intends to use this service. So, for $475 million, downtown White Bear Lake will get to be bothered by buses that hardly anyone cares about. Thanks a LOT, Vicki Reinhardt and Jo Emerson. I’ll bet you got all kinds of “attaboys” and pats on the back from the Met Council for sticking it to us. It's still not too late to call it all off, is it? Now ... where's that ballot box? Greg Lees White Bear Lake
PAID LETTER McCarthy shares ideas
My name is Justin McCarthy, and I would like to represent Birchwood Village as a City Council representative. I am running for City Council because I believe that the council should govern in a manner that reflects the neighborly attitude of Birchwood and look for ways to unite all residents, no matter where they live in the city. I promise to represent all of Birchwood and to respectfully listen to residents, even if we do not agree. I also believe that I am the candidate that can provide fresh ideas for moving Birchwood Village into the future. These ideas include improving our parks and open spaces by implementing the maintenance plan that members of the (now-defunct) Parks Committee devised. Second, despite a recent park survey showing that Tighe-Schmitz Park is the most used park within the city, large parts of it are unusable, as it is very marshy. I propose exploring options to fix this. Third, I would work to increase pedestrian and vehicle safety by supporting the Traffic Calming Task Force (of which I am a part), and exploring better winter plowing. Fourth, I also propose promoting community involvement by resurrecting committees that the city disbanded, such as the Parks Committee. Fifth, we need to explore better longterm planning. According to the recent Comprehensive Plan, the City has several lift stations that are nearing the end of their life spans. The city estimates this to cost $1 million. I believe that we need to start aggressively saving for these expenditures, rather than waiting until they occur. Finally, I believe that the City Council should advocate for policies that bring the community together, such as Music in the Park. I would propose a neighborhoodwide block party once a year with food trucks and games so that members of the community can get to know each other. Thank you for your time.

Investigation underway for mail theft
WHITE BEAR LAKE —A White Bear couple learned their mail had been stolen last week when they received a letter from a postal inspector in Denver. They were already suspicious when a recipient had not received a greeting card containing money. The card and other opened mail with missing checks was returned to them accompanied by a letter from Robert King, the inspector assigned to the case. Even more suspicious was the fact the stamps were not canceled. The couple preferred their name not be used but did want residents to be aware that dropping mail in a blue box outside the post office doesn’t guarantee its safety. A possible “bad apple” somewhere in the system is being investigated, King told them. In his letter, the inspector said mail thieves target both outgoing and incoming mail to gain access to personal and financial information. Once obtained, thieves can divert mail to other addresses, negotiate checks or alter outgoing checks and open financial accounts. He recommended dropping off outgoing mail at a blue collection box prior to pickup time or brought to a place of work for pickup. King provided a case number and a phone number, which they called to point out the mail was dropped in a blue box outside the White Bear Post Office. They also learned a stamp isn’t canceled until it leaves the St. Paul office, so they questioned the possibility of employee theft somewhere along the way. The inspector would not confirm or deny that possibility, noting there is an active investigation. A case number was also assigned by the White Bear Lake PD. As a precaution, the couple closed their checking account.

I am writing in support of Stacey Stout for Mahtomedi School Board. Our boys have grown up in Mahtomedi together, and I have had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Stacey attending school activities and sports. Her commitment to our community and our children is incredible. Her dedication to our district is immeasurable, including her countless volunteer hours. As a mom balancing work and the new school schedule, Stacey fully understands the scenario in which we all find ourselves. She is a voice for parents. I am thankful to have her on the Mahtomedi School Board. Melissa Russell Mahtomed
the same regardless of who the people are behind the issue will demonstrate that they were taken seriously, treated professionally and will ultimately leave them satisfied even if the decision doesn’t go the way they’d hoped. I welcome anyone with questions or concerns about me or my positions to go to my website: McKenzieforBirchwoodMayor.com and read my positions. There is also a link to email me directly to get more specific and personal with your concerns. I realize that most of the focus this election is on the national contests. However, please don't forget to get educated in the local choices and choose wisely. Please vote, and stay safe. Paid for by McKenzieforBirchwoodMayor.com committee. Michael McKenzie, Ed.D. Birchwood
PAID LETTER McKenzie outlines positions
PAID LETTER Consider voting for Engen
I'm running for mayor of the City of Birchwood Village, and I'd like to make my general positions clear. Birchwood is a great community with a long tradition of civic pride. My wife and I have loved raising our three children here since 1994. I can think of nowhere else I'd rather live, and that is why I'm running to help make this great place even better. I believe in face-to-face personal communication; that residents should always be treated with respect and kindness; and that the council's proper charge is to serve the community based on community input.

If you believe our current Minnesota political administration is doing a poor job or has failed us in protecting our welfare; if you believe the administration could be doing a better job with the Covid shutdown and the ongoing emergency extensions the State government has put in place, which have caused so many layoffs, business closings, restaurants going out of business and bankruptcies, and where people are suffering greatly to pay their ongoing bills; if you believe the government has let us down in Minneapolis and St. Paul with all the riots, looting, burning the communities down and allowing protestors to run amuck; if you believe they could be doing a much better job managing the shutdown on a broad and local level where city halls are shut down and shut up, essentially barricaded to
the point where it takes months to get an appointment, leaving the elderly without computers and access to modern conveniences at a loss for help, then you may think to yourself I wish we had someone in office to represent our wishes, someone local, who grew up here, went to school here, works in the community and have generations of family in White Bear Lake. I have the answer for you-take a sincere look at Elliott Engen who is that representative who will hear you out, and then take your interests to the Minnesota House of Representatives, elliottengen. com It all starts by choosing the right person in office to carry out those wishes, starting here locally at the grass roots, ground level to promote those changes we hold dear. Let’s put an end to the chaos and hurt and vote in Elliott to help us get there! James Sanchez White Bear Lake

Way to go, Willernie, Mahtomedi
My wife and I stopped at Roma Restaurant on Sunday for an early dinner. Somehow on my way from my car to the building I unknowingly dropped my money clip. Cash, credit card, driver’s license. Someone spotted it lying on the sidewalk outside the restaurant and brought it in. One of the servers found me and asked if my name was Mark. Answering yes, she handed me my fully intact money clip. First of all, thank you to whoever found it and brought it in. Secondly, thank you to the Roma staff for reconnecting me with my money. My wife just wanted to go out for dinner so we wouldn’t have dishes to do. It would have been very embarrassing to have to do dishes at Roma for our meal. Hooray for all the good people out there! Mark Klosterman North Oaks

Stealing political campaign signs is a federal offense
680074
PAID LETTER Stout is a voice for parents
I would like to inform people that stealing political yard signs is felony theft under Minnesota statute 609.52. The law views campaign signs as personal property. If you are caught with stolen property, you may be charged with possession of stolen property under Minnesota statute 609.53 and the victim may also fi le a civil action and seek damages. I would also like to refer to Minnesota statute 609.605,
which is trespassing with intentional, wrongful entry onto another person’s land without permission or legal privilege to do so. If you have had your political campaign sign stolen, please consider reporting it to your local law enforcement agency. They take this very seriously, tracking and mapping the incidents and assigning extra patrol as time permits. Without your report, there is no investigation. Ollie Gottschlich Mahtomedi
Nature lost to development
My dad decided to leave the concrete maze of Chicago, thankfully with us kids and mom, and flee to Wheaton/ Winfield, Illinois. We kids quickly discovered the world of trees, woods, creeks, insects and frogs. The outdoor world became our playground. There were fields to play football and baseball, and neighborhood games of kick the can. Fences were extinct, so we had acres to roam. A passion was ignited as we observed our playground diminish. Open land was replaced with houses, buildings, parking lots and businesses. Dad explained to us that all of this development was necessary to reduce our taxes. Developers/ development won. We siblings mourned the loss of the places that our epic neighborhood games were played, the trees we climbed, the woods full of wild animals and the source of so much imagination. I asked dad if his taxes ever went down, or stayed the same? “No,” was his answer, but it would be worse without the development. My last conversations with him on this were sad. He felt betrayed, sold out. He too missed the natural beauty that had been bulldozed, leveled and literally rooted out. Empty promises. When I came to Minnesota, I was impressed with the greenway system that Minneapolis/St. Paul had. The Midtown trails, the connecting lakes. The environmental consciousness. I was grateful to those who had the foresight to preserve this natural beauty. I am not naive. I know development, jobs and business will always exist. But can we co-exist? There is a large townhouse complex going up on the corner of County Road E and Linden, another on the corner of County Road F and Centerville Road, another off McMenemy in Vadnais Heights. Are all of these full already? Can all or part of Level Up Academy on County Road E be green or, God forbid, a park? Can we preserve an acre for every three or four acres we develop? I would like to see already developed land used before new land is torn up. I am willing to volunteer, to join a committee, to brainstorm possibilities. Thoughtful development and environment are possible. Bob Bartlett White Bear Lake
Reparations
Sen. Cory Booker (D-New Jersey) and Rep. Shirley Jackson Lee (D-Texas) are sponsoring a bill to pay reparations to Blacks. 1) Then should Blacks pay reparations to descendants of the more than 300,000 Union soldiers that gave their lives to free the slaves? 2) And why should Northerners pay, when they spent a great deal of money to fight the Civil War? 3) And why should Haitians and Black Africans that immigrated to U.S. after the war receive reparations? 4) And why should my family pay, since my family members immigrated long after the war? This is not meant to be racist. In fact, a case could be made that reparations are reverse racism in the interest of fairness. I regularly contribute to the United Negro College Fund. Thomas G. Briggs, MD Mahtomedi

OBITUARY NOTICE
James Henry Rauch, Sr.
May 29, 1937 – October 8, 2020 Predeceased by his parents. James will be deeply missed by his wife, Flora Lee Rauch; son and family, James Henry Rauch, Jr. and wife Monica, children, Victoria Mai, Catherine Vi, Andrew Hoang-Minh; daughter, Christina Rauch and Tim Lawin; brother, Raymond; sisters, Janice and Renee; sisters and brothers-in-law; and many nieces and nephews on both sides of the family. Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 11am on Tuesday, October 13, 2020 at Saint Mary of the Lake Church, 4741 Bald Eagle Ave, White Bear Lake. Interment at Sunset Cemetery, Minneapolis. We are honored to celebrate the life of James Henry Rauch Sr., and to pray for his soul in heaven. We are honored to be his family. He paved the way as the leader of his household, providing for his wife, children and grandchildren. He never did anything for his own glory or gratification. His career was spent shaping the lives and minds of countless students that revered his strong, yet fair philosophy of teaching. A devoted husband that cherished his wife for 57 years. Together they built a family enriched with values and morals that will be his legacy. Dedicated father, present during every aspect of life as a dependable, strong shoulder to lean on. Inspiring discipline with grace and dignity. Loving grandfather, a calming presence that instilled comfort whenever near. The lessons learned from his clever games and activities will always be fondly remembered. Enjoying a full life with his family, traveling around the world, a love of hockey, the guitar, clever quips, higher education, poetry, and volunteering were pillars of his life until the very end. A man who trusted and honored God, who was respected by all that had the pleasure of knowing him. A man to emulate. He will be loved and adored forever.

Vadnais Council looks at 2021 levy VADNAIS HEIGHTS — Residents may see little or no increase in their property taxes next year. City Council members got a preview of the city’s 2021 budget and tax levy at their Sept. 15 meeting. The city approved a preliminary levy of $4.5 million. Finance Director Bob Sundberg said the levy is based on each property’s value as of Jan. 2, 2020. He also said new properties would ease the burden on older properties, and most properties would see a tax increase of $5.02 for the entire year. The tax burden will also shift slightly from commercial properties to residential properties. Sundberg also noted that the city spends 20% of its budget on fire protection and 21% on public safety. Parks and streets command another 11%. The city proposes spending $467,000 on capital improvements in
Age 79, of White Bear Lake. Dale passed away peacefully on October 9. Proceeded in death by wife Jean, parents Edythe and Daniel, and daughter Angela. Survived by children Catharine, Curtiss (Kristine), Christian, Daniel (Brooke), Elizabeth (Justin), Laura (Nate); 12 grandchildren; and brother Eugene (Kathy). Due to COVID-19, no service will be held at this time. If you'd like to send cards or flowers at this time please send to: 9441 242nd LN NE., Stacy, MN 55079.
2021, mainly on equipment to maintain roads and public buildings. He also said Vadnais Heights receives no local government aid (LGA) payments. Mayor Heidi Gunderson thanked Sundberg for his presentation and said he and Council Member Bob Morse had saved the city a considerable amount of money by pursuing the refinancing of some public debt this year. A public hearing on the proposed budget and levy will take place on Dec. 1; the levy can be reduced at that time, but not increased. At its Oct. 6 meeting, the council approved a conditional use permit (CUP) for the Westwood Park apartments at 669 County Road C. The permit will allow the owners to remove 11 off-street parking spaces and construct a 5,000-square-foot office, a single residential unit for the property’s caretaker and a garage. New parking stalls would be created elsewhere on the property.

Marcella LaBore (Marci) Samuelson
Marcella LaBore (Marci) Samuelson, 95, passed away peacefully among family on October 7. Marci was born on March 12, 1925 was raised and lived out her entire life in White Bear Lake. Marci is survived by three children: Steve (Sue), Scott (Debra), Sandra (Todd); 5 grandchildren: Kye (Julia) Samuelson, Kallie (Brad) Rezney, Alex (Jennifer) Samuelson, Daelin Daubenberger and Max Daubenberger; 7 great grandchildren: Olin, Anna, Robert, Ford, Oliver, Makenna and one baby expected to arrive in March 2021. Marci grew up on the LaBore family farm in White Bear Lake, with her parents Martha and James, her brother Louie and her sister Phyllis. Marci attended St. Mary’s catholic school and graduated from White Bear Lake High School in 1943. After high school she went on to secretarial school and moved to Detroit, Michigan to work for AT&T. After moving back home, she married her longtime high school boyfriend Robert Samuelson in 1948, soon after he had returned home from serving in the Navy during WWII. Her interests included dancing, golfing, bowling and fishing at her and her husband’s cabin “Samars”. She worked as a longtime teacher’s aide at St Mary’s Elementary School. In retirement, she volunteered at Cerenity Care Center until her late 80’s. Most of all, she was an avid White Bear Lake High School hockey fan. She attended as many games as possible and never missed a single MN High School State hockey tournament from 1958 through 1995. She loved rooting for the Bears, especially when they played against the teams in green and white sweaters/jerseys, well, let’s just leave it at that! Marci had a zest for life! Her sense of humor and loving personality put a smile on the faces of everyone lucky enough to spend time with her. There was nothing ordinary about her goodness, faithfulness and absolute devotion to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Preceded in death by her parents Martha and James LaBore, brother Louis LaBore, sister Phyllis (Tom) Carpenter, husband Robert Samuelson, daughter Mary Samuelson and grandson Stevie Samuelson. If so desired, memorials may be directed to the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf, 1884 Whitaker St, White Bear Lake, MN 55110. There will be a private burial at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. At a later time, we will announce the date to gather and celebrate the wonderful life of Marci. “Go Bears”.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH: Survivors share their stories FROM PAGE 1
day Guthrie had a strange feeling while she was at work so she decided to come home to have lunch with her mother, who was watching her newborn daughter Emery. Her husband came home for lunch, which Guthrie said was not normal. He was acting strange and started randomly fixing things when Guthrie’s mother made a suggestion. Her husband then got extremely irate and started shouting at her mother. The cops were called and police suggested that her husband leave the home for a while. He agreed to leave and to pack up his things. A little while later, Guthrie received a text message of a picture of her husband holding a gun to his head. “I called the cops and they said to stay outside. Within three minutes my entire house was surrounded by cops with giant guns and shields,” she said. “It was insane. It was like a strange movie. I was so overwhelmed and I couldn’t believe it was happening… I tried to stay calm because I had this tiny baby in my arms.” Guthrie immediately pursued a restraining order against him and filed for a divorce. “For six months after that I hated to open doors, because I would just picture him with a gun right there as I opened the door,” she said. “I literally put my heart to the side. I needed to keep Emery safe. Because in my mind, I thought that if I stayed, he would have shot me, Emery and then himself.” Guthrie found out their home was almost in foreclosure. She sold the home, found a new job, and eventually was able to purchase a town home for her and Emery. Although she did not speak to her now ex-husband for a longtime, the two now see each other for supervised visits with their daughter. “He has told me if I never would have left him, he never would have gotten better,” Guthrie explained. She said Emery gave her the strength to stand up for them and not tolerate that kind of behavior. “A lot of it was me fighting for my kid. That mom instinct drive really helped me. Who do I want Emery to view me as? Do I want her to view me as somebody who isn’t going to stand up for what is right? Or want her to have a life where she just hears her parents screaming at each other?” Corinna Turner Corinna Turner, 45, of Lino Lakes was in a consensual sexual relationship with a co-worker for about 9 months. “It was consensual until it wasn’t,” she said. “In hindsight, he was very manipulative, persuasive, charming.” Turner explained that in February 2018, she was interested in pursuing a relationship with
someone else and decided to end the relationship with her co-worker. The two agreed they would meet up one last time. Although the meet up started off normal, it quickly got out of hand. He became angry, aggressive, and did whatever he pleased without consent and then left. After the assault, Turner did not go to the hospital right away. In fact, she initially wasn’t planning to report it. “I was exhausted. It was very emotional, physical, I was sore and I thought ‘what the hell just happened.’” After she woke up from a nap, she found that she was bleeding badly. She immediately went to the hospital, got a rape kit and reported the assault to police. The Monday following the incident she tried to go back to work. “I pressed the button to get off of the elevator on my floor and I just couldn’t do it,” she said. “I was crying and went to human resources and they said since it happened outside of work, they couldn’t really do anything.” After Turner supplied emails and text messages from her coworker to HR, an investigation was opened and the two were asked to take the week off. “That Friday they called me and said he was no longer with the company. They had fired him and would welcome me back,” she said. Turner ended up leaving that job a short time later because it was
“It was consensual until it wasn’t, in hindsight, he was very manipulative, persuasive, charming.” Corinna Turner Title of Speaker too hard to be in that space. While she was waiting for the matter to play out in the court system, Turner’s case was “put on hold” because her assailant had also raped a woman in Hennepin County 12 days before her assault. He was ultimately convicted of first-degree sexual assault for both cases and sentenced to about 12 years in prison. That experience has had a profound impact on Turner. “It really makes you question everything that you knew in terms of safety, relationships. It makes you re-evaluate boundaries in relationships across the board. When that trust is broken and you are violated like that, you can’t help but go there,” she said. “I felt very alone, isolated and depressed after the assault.” Turner has the following advice for people who may find themselves in a similar situation: “Trust your gut. If something doesn’t feel right, pick it apart and find out why. Everybody’s journey is different. I’m not going to say you need to report it; What I am going to say is take care of yourself. There are services to help support you. This is your journey and nobody else gets to decide how you deal with it but you.” Lead Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

directors from 1998 until his retirement in 2008, when he was honored as an emeritus director for the rest of his life. His family said Art’s fascination with trains started at an early age. As a youngster, he would watch the steam engines at the Oyster Bay terminus roundhouse on Long Island. He worked summers as a laborer on railroads out east and after college at Princeton University and fulfillment of his ROTC military obligation, went to work for railroad companies like the Chicago Belt Railway and Burlington Northern. During this time, Art put his Army training as a weapons guidance systems specialist to work, playing a major role in the development of automated car identification (ACI), a system that was ultimately adopted by the nation’s railroads to track their rolling stock throughout North America. It had a significant positive revenue impact on its users, for which he was honored by the Association of American Railroads. Railroading was also his major avocation, an example of which was his partnership in a private executive rail car, which he named “Gritty Palace.” Purchased by a group calling itself GNW&B, standing for “Go No Where & Back,” he used the land yacht to travel North America with family and friends, hooked on to an Amtrak train. The 1912 dark green Pullman was originally built for Rock Island Rail executives. Elegantly appointed with rich mahogany and polished brass, the four-bedroom, two-bath car was 83 feet long and slept eight. Mari remembers sitting on milk cans as a child on the car’s open platform waving at people as they passed. Her dad always insisted they wave. “There was no television or radio; we played cards and board games or we sat on the platform with our safety glasses with dad watching the world go by,” she recalled. To this day, she can’t pass a train without waving to the conductor. Art’s full life also included competitive swimming as a member of the Seal Harbor Club, The Hotchkiss School, Princeton University, and the U.S. Army swimming teams. Catering to his lifelong love of the sea, he enjoyed sailing, reef fishing in Bermuda and the tropics, and deep sea hand lining for cod and haddock off the coast of Mount Desert Island, Maine, where his family has maintained a summer residence since 1914. Her dad was always grateful for the island and White Bear Lake, Mari said. “We were fortunate to live in paradise. Dad was about being within the spirit and vitality and beauty of the island,” she wrote in her letter. “Dad admired all the challenges an old house on an island had to offer. And never a complaint about it. And of course, he always had his favorite dog by his side.” Her parents loved to entertain, both on the Gritty Palace and at home. Judy,

nicknamed Lambie, loved to cook for family and friends and host grand parties, especially at Christmas. Judy preceded Art in death five years ago at age 80. She was a “forever philanthropist for organizations that aided those in need and locally is probably best remembered as creator and director of White Bear’s Central Follies, a junior high theater group that drew kids to the stage,” read her obituary. “Mom would lock herself up in a Minneapolis hotel room to write the plays and lyrics,” Mari recalled. “I still get notes from kids who were in The Follies in the ’70s and ’80s, saying it changed their life. She had a heart of gold.” Kathy Johnson of the White Bear Press family worked with Judy on the Follies. She said the Pews were generous in ways that didn’t need recognition. “They were quiet in how they enriched people’s lives,” she observed. An old family friend described Art as “truly one in a million” in an email shared by Mari. “He exuded all the qualities that any of us would do well to aspire to: humility, joy, wonder, adventure, love and gratitude. He embodied them all,” John Connelly wrote. He mentioned the big old station wagons the Pews drove. “To me, it expressed that was about something other than the material, something more lasting and precious. He understood the gift that life is and at the same time, didn’t take himself too seriously. He was grateful to be surrounded by those he loved.” In her letter to the neighbors, Mari told them Art saw being an island member a great accomplishment and was most humbled by it. “But with great grace, he never got too big for his britches,” she said. “His humbleness and lack of material desires was often a loving jest for those who knew, saw and loved him. He embodied simplicity.” Mari, a White Bear grad who lives only a few miles from her parent’s home, said a day won’t go by that she won’t feel the love, lessons and silliness instilled by her father. “If I share only half of his humility and gratitude,” she said, “I will have all that I need.”

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES
• Scheduled a virtual meeting with the Birchwood Village City Council for 7 p.m. Oct. 13 to receive public input and discuss Birchwood's proposal for special archery deer hunts on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. • After a public hearing, adopted special assessments for Phase 4 of Historic District – West improvements. At the Sept. 1 meeting, council approved a resolution calling for and ratifying an assessment hearing for the project. The project cost for the improvements is $4.6 million. The amount to be specially assessed is $535,658.34. The remainder of the project will be financed by the city with monies from various enterprise funds and a grant from the Rice Creek Watershed District. • Approved change order No. 2 for the 2020 Street Improvement Project in the amount of $45,183.40 to Meyer Contracting Inc. The cost increase for this additional work amounts to 3% from the previous contract amount of $1.5 million. Work outlined in this change order includes the installation of a concrete ribbon curb at the back of the trail to facilitate fence installation and flush-mounted brackets for the fence posts. The additional work also includes removing, hauling and disposing of approximately 110 tons of contaminated soil. The contaminated soil was found during the excavation and grading phase of the ditches and trail slopes. • Passed a resolution authorizing the establishment of local grant programs to distribute Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF) and expenditure of certain CARES funds for qualified city expenses. As part of the CARES Act establishing the $150 billion CRF, the state received $841 million. Mahtomedi received $605,736 of those federal COVID-19 relief funds based on a $75.34 per capita distribution. The city has identified $221,069.67 in actual qualified expenses, which include personal protective equipment (PPE), public health, improving telework capabilities, turnout gear, turnout gear dryer, ambulance cots and Lucas compression systems. The city has also allocated $20,000 for the Century College Foundation Technology Assistance Program and $10,000 for a meal delivery program
through Newtrax and local restaurants. The city now hopes to establish a local grant program to distribute a portion of the CRF funds to Mahtomedi businesses and nonprofit organizations it has preliminarily deemed eligible for grant assistance. To this end, $354,666
remains from the original funding for the program. • Passed a resolution appointing a total of 28 election judges for the state general election to be held on Nov. 3. Mahtomedi's two precincts are: Precinct 1 at the District Education Center, 1520 Mahtomedi Avenue and Precinct 2
BIDEN
at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, 900 Stillwater Road. Council may appoint additional judges within the 25 days before the election if they are required. City Clerk Jerene Rogers said that public interest in serving as an election judge is high, given the waiting list of more than 20 citizens.
• Approved a WSB proposal for a traffic safety improvement study. This study will address pedestrian safety improvements at nine roadway crossings, shared street designations, speed limit policy and reductions within the city, as well as safety improvements on Highway 120.
or
A Proud American Senior’s Perspective
The cost of the proposal is $10,234, which will be funded out of the general engineering budget. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road, or via videoconference. Loretta Harding
TRUMP?
Would Biden Destroy the Economic and Policy Progress of Trump’s Administration, and Destroy the U.S. Constitution? The Bidens Deserve Real Scrutiny, too! On COVID-19 • • • •
On COVID-19
“ The Left’s COVID Memory Hole. Contrary to what Joe Biden says now, he and his team badly misjudged Covid-19”. WSJ, Aug. 26, 2020, Karl Rove. Biden decried President Trump’s Jan 31 China travel ban, calling it “hysterical xenophobia and fear-mongering”. Trump’s quick action helped protect Americans. On Feb. 29, Biden’s coronavirus advisor, Zeke Emanuel, said “running out and getting a mask is not going to help.” WSJ, Aug. 26, 2020. Biden did NOT know better than Trump. “Biden’s False Claim on Trump’s Response to Coronavirus” NBC News, DFW, April 2, 2020
• •
•
Biden threatens to again shut down our fast recovering economy. Biden will raise taxes, spending, and regulations. “I’m going to get rid of the bulk of the Trump $2 trillion tax cut and a lot of you may not like that.” June 29, 2020. Obama/Biden exported American jobs and Obama laughed that our manufacturing jobs would never return. Obama video on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqzoOHu1mk
On Illegal Alien Entry •
•
• •
“In 2013, the Obama administration allowed Chinese companies to invest in U.S. capital markets without [scrutiny by] U.S. regulators, after meetings between Chinese officials and Biden.” Epoch Times, Oct. 4, 2020. Biden’s corrupt relationships in Communist China raise concerns. “Mark Kelly, Hunter Biden and the Chinese Communist Party’s Influence” Newsweek, Oct, 2, 2020. Unlike when Biden was Vice President for 8 years, Trump fights Communist Chinese criminal conduct, like rampant espionage, corruption, and stealing American technology intellectual property.
•
• • •
Biden has a 47-year public record of lies, plagiarism, falsifying his academic record, and countless other false claims. The Bidens enriched themselves through proven financial relationships with the Communist Chinese Party and Putin collaborators, per Sept. 18, 2020 United States Senate report: “Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact on U.S.Government Policy and Related Concerns.” Secret Service: Hunter Biden Took 411 Separate Domestic & International Flights During Obama’s 1st Term; Visited China 5 times. Trump and his talented and constantly scrutinized family work tirelessly for Americans out of love of Country and our people. Another Biden lie is when he claims “Trump has never repudiated white supremacists.” But “Trump Has Condemned White Supremacists” Robert Farley, Feb. 11, 2020. FactCheck.org. There are many other examples of this intentional lie!
On Constitutional Rights • • • •

On Jan. 15, 2020, the U.S. signed a Phase 1 fair and reciprocal trade deal with China. “Together, we are righting the wrongs of the past and delivering a future of economic justice and security for American workers, farmers, and families.” Trump. The U.S. Trade Representative confirmed that “The United States will vigilantly monitor China’s progress in eliminating its unfair trade practices and implementing these obligations.” Trump is working to prevent the Chinese Communist Party from controlling the global 5G network technology market.
On Character
• • • •
Trump lives “Promises Made, Promises Kept” while overcoming an unprecedented effort by Obama era officials, Hillary Clinton, the DNC and most media to subvert his administration. DOJ Inspector General Horowitz Reports. Serious crimes have been committed and criminals must be brought to Justice. “An American Coup Attempt. Time may be running out to expose the effort to overthrow Trump, which began before his election.” WSJ, Oct. 8, 2020. Ron Johnson. Cover-up? “James Comey Can’t Recall. The FBI ignored a 2016 CIA warning about a possible Hillary Clinton dirty trick.” WSJ October 7, 2010. Trump accepts no salary as President, donating it to good causes. Trump gets results for Americans!
On Constitutional Rights •
•
Biden refused to “... admit or deny that he would urge the Senate to end the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court. Biden avoids condemning antifa, a movement that riots, loots, commits arson and attacks police and private property. Oct. 1, 2020, rove.com Biden refuses to admit that he has no backing from American law enforcement groups. Obama/Biden sent $billions to Iranian Mullahs devoted to terrorism and nuclear weapons.
Trump says “The United States must adopt an immigration system that serves the national interest. To restore the rule of law and secure our border, President Trump is constructing a border wall and ensuring the swift removal of unlawful entrants.” To protect American workers, he supports ending chain migration and the Visa Lottery, and initiating a meritbased entry system. These reforms will advance the safety and prosperity of all Americans while helping new citizens assimilate and flourish. The White House.
On Communist China
•
On Character •
•
“The Wealth Gap Shrinks. The three years before the pandemic saw big gains for lower earners.” “America will need time to recover economically from the pandemic... Americans with the most at stake are middle- and low-income earners who have benefited tremendously over the last three years.” WSJ, Sept. 29, 2020. Trump brought high paying manufacturing jobs back to the USA from China and elsewhere, reviving Made in America, especially for health care needs! “Unemployment rate down to 49 year low” (pre-COVID). MSNBC
On Illegal Alien Entry
Biden’s “...immigration plan promises to reform the asylum system, surge humanitarian resources to the border, end Trump’s Muslim ban and review Temporary Protected Status for those who have fled a violent country. It would also end the Trump-declared “national emergency” being used to redirect federal dollars to build the border wall.” NBC News. There is no “Muslim Ban” as Biden falsely claims. Executive Order 13769 “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States.”
On Communist China •
The Trump Administration COVID-19 actions are America’s greatest mobilization since World War 2. 1. Early stop of travel from epicenter China. 2. Initiated world leading testing system. 3. Mobilized public and private sectors to secure needed supplies. 4. Acted to protect vulnerable Americans and surge resources to hot spots. 5. Launched efforts to deliver vaccine and therapeutics in record time. 6. Provided support to workers and businesses. 7. Paved way for reopening to get America working again. 8. Confronted China as the origin of the virus while Democrats and the media cowered.
On Economy
On Economy •
•
• •
Trump works to limit government authority to its proper, constitutional scope. May, 2017 Executive Order (EO) defends First Amendment rights of all Americans to religious freedom and freedom of speech. March, 2019 EO protects open debate at American universities. Trump: “These orders recognize that freedom of speech is a fundamental right that must always be guarded vigilantly.” The White House. Trump has dramatically strengthened our military and created the U.S. Space Force, to protect Americans. Veteran health care services were dramatically improved, after long neglect. Democrats lie denying Trump’s obvious respect for Veterans. The Administration works to restore the rule of law, partner with state and local law enforcement agencies, encourage respect for officers nationwide, and aggressively tackle gangand drug-related violence.
Vote Equal Opportunity for ALL AMERICANS! Vote Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence. Vote Republican. Written and paid for by Brian Davis, Lino Lakes.

Asked what his White Bear Lake team needs to shore up, after an opening 52-24 loss to Stillwater Friday night, coach Ryan Bartlett was blunt. “We need to shore up everything.� The Bears gave up touchdowns on a punt return and kickoff return, three runs and two pass plays in falling behind 52-10 after three quarters. The score was 24-3 at halftime, with Jeff Odamtten kicking a 30-yard field goal for the Bears. It was 38-3 before Branden Berwald passed to John McBride for a 61-yard touchdown. In the fourth quarter, the Bears had scoring runs by Berwald (one yard) and Oluwadara Animasaun (seven yards). The Bears gained 81 yards on 24 runs, and 212 yards in the air, with Berwald completing 15 of 39 throws. The season opener was played under special pandemic rules with the crowd limited to 250 moms and dads and no pageantry such as pep bands. “It was different for sure, but overall once the game begins you are pretty focused on the game,� Bartlett said.

Weather tidbits
Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com I'm not hearing many complaints at all regarding this past week's weather. In fact I'm getting requests for another 4 months of this past weeks weather. Unfortunately weather doesn't work that way, unless you live in San Diego. It was a spectacular weekend. I, myself, ventured over to Willow River State Park across the border in Wisconsin for a trail run. I was able to take in the fall colors along with it seemed so did a few hundred of my closest friends. In other words, people were out. What a better way to end our mini drought with a Sunday night and Monday morning thunderstorm and soaking rain.

We also are in one of the toughest conferences. We did have a

Keeping of goats now permitted in Mahtomedi and get rid of the buckthorn while we’re at it
The Mahtomedi City Council at its Oct. 5 meeting increased its farm animal allowance by 50%. Within the past few years, the Mahtomedi City Council has passed ordinances allowing the keeping of chickens, then bees. Now, council has passed an ordinance to allow goats within the city. In formal terms, council approved an ordinance amending Mahtomedi City Code Chapter 3 Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and adding Section 3.13 Relating to the Harboring and Keeping of Goats – For Prescribed Grazing by Permit. Council immediately followed that move by passing a resolution approving the publication of a Summary of Ordinance Amending Chapter 3 of the Mahtomedi City Code related to Animals to Allow Prescribed Goat Grazing. In other words, the city will publish a summary of the ordinance in lieu of the entire ordinance, which will save citizens some money.
So, will citizens of Mahtomedi see goats meandering along the middle of Stillwater Road, slowly ambling over to graze on potted plants outside the Wild Bean coffee shop? Or hopping up to perch on fi re hydrants around town? Hardly. While the city continues to prohibit the keeping of goats within the city, a number of cities have adopted ordinance amendments in response to interest from their residents in using goats to temporarily “graze� on undesirable vegetation, including buckthorn and other invasive plants. The city now has received a few calls from residents about buckthorn removal. Property owners on South Warner Avenue whose properties abut Katherine Abbott Park and qualify in acreage have recently contacted the city. Several companies exist that routinely rent out goats to clear land and woody areas — a method that is seen by some as more eco-friendly
in that it does not require the use of harsh chemicals or noisy machinery to remove unwanted trees and plants. Google “goats for hire,� and you’ll fi nd quite a few entities that hire out goats, City Attorney Bridget Nason said. This method was used out West and in other places after people became aware of the consequences of pesticide use. It was found that goats enjoy eating invasive plants, and an industry was born. “Goats eat any invasive plants and leave the big trees,� she said. Based on the growing interest in allowing the controlled harvest of vegetation with grazing goats (referred to as “prescribed grazing�), Nason drafted an ordinance amending various provisions of Chapter 3 of the City Code that council members praised as comprehensive. The amendments take into account all the permutations of making sure the goats do their job, don’t cause trouble and go away when
they’re done eating up all the buckthorn. There are more than 15 conditions that must be met to receive a prescribed grazing permit. They include the need for goat intervention and a permit application process, limitations on time allowed and frequency of goat grazing, signage requirements, property size of a half-acre and greater, fencing, insurance, notice, grounds for revocation of permit and more. The city will continue to prohibit the keeping of hoofed animals, farm animals or wild animals as pets and have exceptions for certain farm animals. Goats temporarily grazing on buckthorn in or near parks will fall under the “exception� category. After voting to amend the ordinance, Council Member Steve Wolgamot wondered: “Is it not possible to teach the deer to eat buckthorn?� Loretta Harding

COME TASTE OUR FAVORITE PICKS FROM MIDWEST VINEYARDS & BREWERIES
Stillwater scored twice in the last 15 minutes and pulled out a 2-1 win over White Bear Lake to officially capture the championship of Suburban East Conference girls soccer. Stillwater (10-0-1) also beat the Bears (8-3) by 2-0 on Sept. 29 to earn first place in the regular season. Because the MSHSL pandemic rules shortened schedules and limited teams to conference opponents, the SEC added a tournament to decide the championship. “That loss stings,” said John Dierkhising, cocoach with Dave Ashley, about not holding the lead late in the game. “We just made some poor technical plays down the stretch. Some bad passes or missed headers up field started their chances, and we learned in the first game we can’t give them anything or they will capitalize.” A third meeting between No. 2 ranked Stillwater and No. 7 White Bear Lake might come about in the Section 4AA tournament that will end the season. Sectionals start Wednesday.
Trevor Locke and Ernie Mattson led the Bears, charging across the finish line side by side in 16:28.7. Locke, a senior, placed seventh by an eyelash and Mattson, a junior, was eighth. Also making all-conference was senior Ben McLaughlin in 16th place with 16:47.9. Bear freshman Luke Williams placed 21st (16:53), missing all-conference by one second, and senior Zach Williams was 28th (17:23). Each got honorable mention. Under special pandemic rules, no more than three teams (24 runners) can run in the same race, so the SEC, like all conferences, seeded the top three teams, then the next three, and so on, based on regular-season meets. “They know they have nothing to lose and are just happy to be competing right now,” Kovacich said about his team. With no state meet this year, the season will conclude with Section 4AA at Highland Park Golf Course on Wednesday, Oct. 14, where they will again run against Stillwater and Roseville.
Bear boys place strong 3rd in conference CC meet
White Bear girls run third in conference meet
White Bear Lake’s boys cross country coach called it a “spectacular finish” as the Bears finished third, one point out of second place, in a strong Suburban East Conference meet Wednesday, Oct. 7. “It was a heck of the day for the Bears with 31 out of 34 runners having their personal best times,” said Dan Kovacich. “The boys ran awesome today against two state-ranked teams.” No. 3 ranked Stillwater was the decisive champion with 45 points, at St. Croix Bluffs near Hastings. No. 9 ranked Roseville Area had 78 points and the Bears 79.
The White Bear Lake girls placed third in the Suburban East Conference cross country and had three all-conference runners in action last Wednesday at St. Croix Bluffs near Hastings. One more meet, sectionals, remains in this season severely altered by the nation dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. “I am just so happy that the girls were able to have a season and had the opportunity to compete again,” said coach Patti Percival. “Also, I am so relieved that everyone stayed healthy. They took

BY BROOKE WOHLRABE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — Mahtomedi’s American Legion Auxiliary Unit 507 has a new president. Marguerite Norton-Furlong assumed the position in May of this year. “I’m replacing a gal (Teri Richardson) who’s been doing this for 20 years. After she told me everything she does and what it entails, I was pretty impressed,� Norton-Furlong said. Richardson stepped down earlier this year and now holds the position of secretary for the unit. “Other people have to do it. We needed new blood,� said Richardson, who has been a member of the unit for 40 years. She was happy to take on a different role and acknowledges that the unit is made of up strong, dedicated members. “When we’ve needed help, the members have come,� Richardson said. Norton-Furlong explained that some women in town got her involved with the unit about four years ago. She initially assisted with the annual Pumpkin Mania event. As she became semi-retired, she found herself wanting to become more involved. Norton-Furlong explained that to be a member of the Legion, you need to have a family member who has previously served in the military. Norton-Furlong comes from a big military family and several of her brothers have held different ranks in the U.S. Navy. “This is my way of serving and

giving back to my community,� Norton-Furlong said. She noted that the auxiliary has been involved in the Memorial Day Parade and has held different fundraisers to raise money for troops in the area, as well as to benefit the wider community. The unit also has pull tabs at Frigaard’s in Willernie. The money from charitable gambling goes to support the veterans in the community and other worthy causes. “We don’t have a building in town, so all the money goes right back into our community troops and scholarships to the high school and things like that,� Norton-Furlong said. The post meets monthly (with summers off) at a barbershop in downtown Willernie. The post is currently made up of 59 members.
“We’re looking for new members. We just started taking men, too,� Norton-Furlong shared. She said they’re now encouraging the spouses of veterans to join, which is a new change that has taken place in the last year in an attempt to be more inclusive, since there are more female veterans. In three years, the unit will celebrate its 100th anniversary. It was founded in 1923. This year, the unit held a sidewalk silent auction on Oct. 10 in downtown Mahtomedi and Willernie to raise funds for the community and the troops. “We (couldn’t) do it by games and a cake walk for Pumpkin Mania,� Norton-Furlong said, so plans were shifted to hold the event outdoors where social distancing was possible.

Celebrating our 5th year Try our new fall menu and OFX EFTTFSU ĂĄBUCSFBE $BMM GPS SFTFSWBUJPOT 651-429-9286 In 1978 John Lupo took a leap of faith when he purchased a Mr. Donut store on Prosperity Ave. on St. Paul’s east side. Maybe the word prosperity was an omen? Fourteen years later in 1992 John moved into the building on Beurkle Rd. in White Bear Lake, where Grandma’s Bakery has been ever since. Through a lot of hard work and many great signature baked goods, such as their apple fritters, pastries and fantastic special occasion cakes, the bakery has continued to grow. Grandma’s has always supported many signiďŹ cant community events, including: Taste of White Bear Lake, Marketfest, Manitou Days and sponsorship of countless events and fundraisers. But the granddaddy of all events, and a brainchild of John’s was the quest to build the “World’s Longest Ice Cream Sundaeâ€?, in 2015. At 1011 feet long, the creation landed WBL in the Guinness Book of World Records. Like so many of our local businesses, Grandma’s has had to “pivotâ€? and create new products, processes and ideas to create new revenue streams as a result of COVID.
“We have been through tough times before and will get through this one tooâ€?, says John in a recent conversation. He is very grateful to the WBL community and the city for the way they have all come together to ďŹ nd ways to help our small businesses succeed. A new creation for the bakery has been the “Original Hockey Puckâ€? cake. Individually packaged mini chocolate cakes in the shape of hockey pucks come packed with Minnesota Hockey Trivia cards that will challenge the most knowledgeable of fans. The cakes are available for order by phone or email and will be available online soon. The addition of ice cream in May at the downtown WBL store has been a “home runâ€? as well, says John.

As the world changes, so does the Alchemist, thriving on continuous evolution, always changing for the better. Opened in 2015, owner Terry Kellerman was acting on a vision; that of an early 20th century establishment, reminiscent of a bygone era; a place with artfully crafted cocktails in an intimate and unique setting. Terry’s artistic skills as an upholsterer and proprietor of this historic building for over 40 years make him uniquely qualiďŹ ed to bring this vision to life in an incredible setting. And what a setting it is! The building at 2222 4th St. was originally constructed in 1906 as the WBL YMCA. In 1912 the City of WBL constructed the ďŹ rst addition, which became the White Bear Auditorium. There was a pool hall and single lane bowling alley. The bowling pins were actually set by hand after each roll. In 1922 the Armory was built and in 1952 what is now the front section of the building was constructed by Keno Dibdahl. Standing in the main bar area, you can actually take a panoramic look at Kellerman points out all of the variations
in the building materials which identify the many stages of construction. The bar has a beautiful outdoor rooftop deck and a mezzanine inside overlooking the steampunk themed bar. With a new in-house Sommelier and nationally recognized cocktail artists, the wine list is expanding as well; along with it the possibilities for your next cocktail adventure. Whether you are relaxing with a craft cocktail and one of their small plate menu items, or a glass of wine with the new dessert atbread, -you will ďŹ nd their outdoor seating the perfect atmosphere for date night or a friends’ night out. You have earned the opportunity to get out and enjoy! Call 651-429-9286 to reserve your table today!
