Watchdog group gets meeting with governor BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Sunlit sailing season finale After early morning rain showers subsided, the sun emerged in time for high school sailors to maneuver their boats around a course on White Bear Lake during the 2019 Art Johnson Regatta Saturday, Oct. 19. The White Bear Sailing School hosted more than 100 participants representing teams from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois at the annual two-day event.
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Persistence paid off for the watchdog group following Water Gremlin’s every move when it succeeded in getting a meeting with the governor. Sherry Hastings, who leads the Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group (NCCG), wouldn’t take no for an answer when she contacted the office of Gov. Tim Walz asking for an audience. The group of four women from White Bear Township wanted the governor to hear their concerns about Water Gremlin, a neighboring company that released high levels of toxic TCE into the air for at least 17 years. Hastings follows the governor on social media, she said, and pointed out to his staff that the state’s chief executive had time for turkey and pheasant hunting; surely he had a half hour for them. It worked. The four board members met with Walz and Commissioner Laura Bishop, head of the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency, in a private meeting Oct. 7 at the Capitol. The nonprofit NCCG formed last March after the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and Department of Health held a joint community meeting at North Campus to discuss the environmental and human health impact of the chemical emissions. Her takeaway from the meeting was the governor’s commitment to phasing out TCE in Minnesota, said member Kelly Tapkan. NCCG members worked closely with area legislators last session on bills to ban TCE. A bill passed the House but never made it to the Senate floor. They intend to renew their efforts at the Capitol in 2020. “TCE is a nasty chemical,” Tapkan noted. “It shouldn’t be used anywhere.” County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt applauded the group for their work. “You formed in March.

White Bear Lake Area Schools may bleed orange and black on the field and in the gym, but when it comes to the earth, the district has been going green lately. District staff and students related how the White Bear Lake community has been taking environmental strides at a White Bear School Board meeting Oct. 14. Following the district's recent strategic planning efforts, it has made it a goal to embed sustainability within the school district, reported Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning Sara Paul. “We are stewards of the earth,” she explained. Over the last few years, the district has been quietly mak-

ing subtle yet significant changes. “At the end of this week, six schools will generate power for buildings,” reported Operations Coordinator Dan Roeser. Solar installations have been put up at Oneka, Willow, Birch, Lakeaires and Matoska elementary schools, and Sunrise Park Middle School. The district hopes to begin educational programs regarding solar power in the future. The district has put LED lighting in all secondary gyms and larger parking lots, Roeser added. The switch saves on maintenance costs. “Now with the LEDs, they are pretty much maintenance-free for the next 15 years,” he noted. “In the building operations department we are always looking for ways to make SEE GREEN SCHOOLS, PAGE 8A

New non-native plant gets special treatment WHITE BEAR LAKE — Another non-native plant has been targeted for eradication. More than a dozen hot spots around the lake were treated Oct. 4 to eliminate invasive phragmites, a tall wetland grass that can reach a height of more than 15 feet. The plant has dark green leaves with a large purple-brown flower head. Treatment with copper sulfate was planned a few weeks earlier, but the weather did not cooperate, noted Mike Parenteau, White Bear Lake Conservation District director and chairman of the lake quality committee. The treatment appeared successful. A follow-up to the areas will be conducted in a few weeks to confi rm effectiveness. “We were told the percentage of phragmites around White
Bear compared to other lakes is much less, so that's good,” Parenteau told the district board at its Oct. 15 meeting. The fact the reed was standing in 2 feet of water in most places also improved treatment success. A report is expected at the Nov. 19 meeting. The invasive species was discovered in August 2018 by a paddleboarder and confi rmed in early September, too late to get the required permit and apply treatment. The non-native plants overtake habitat and can reduce diversity, according to a Department of Natural Resources fact sheet. Tall stands along shoreland areas block views of, and access to, open water. The plant does not provide suitable shelter, food or nesting habitat

for native animals. Minnesota is home to a native species that is beneficial to the ecosystem. Parenteau's lake quality report also included lake level, as it does every month. Elevation is 925.09 feet. “It's been the same all summer; within a hundredth of an inch. Heck of a summer,” he observed. Water temperature is 50 degrees, a few degrees colder than last year, which may be indicative of early ice cover. Last year the lake iced over Nov. 28, Parenteau said, which is “early in modern times.” Debra Neutkens Numbered areas show where the invasive plant was treated SUBMITTED

Motorized boating ban a possibility on impaired lake BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Goose Lake is the most impaired lake on the Vadnais Lake Area Watershed Management Organization (VLAWMO) list. The lake is the headwaters for Lambert Creek, which drains into Vadnais Lake, a source of St. Paul's drinking water. The water management organization, formed in 1983 to protect a 25-mile area of watershed, is proposing treating East Goose Lake with aluminum sulfate, or alum, a chemical compound that binds with phosphorus and sediments in the water and settles to the lake bottom. City Manager Ellen Hiniker discussed the proposal at the end of a long Oct. 8 City Council meeting that included assessment hearings and variance requests. Goose Lake residents waited patiently to hear the discussion, which always follows old and new business. If the alum treatment goes forward, the city would need to adopt an ordinance restricting motorized boating for three years or more. Goose Lake is shallow (maximum depth is 7.4 feet) and motors would stir up the bottom, negating the treatment's effectiveness. Cities have that restriction authority, Hiniker noted. But there is opposition from homeowners who live on the lake, noted the city manager, based on emails and conversations. Councilman Bill Walsh doesn't feel the cost/ benefit ratio is there for the treatment, which would cost about $170,000. VLAWMO would apply for a grant to offset the cost and the city would contribute $35,000. Both Councilmen Doug Biehn and Kevin Edberg want to know what impact Goose Lake has
on other water bodies. "It's not OK if high phosphorus levels are impairing other lakes," Edberg said. Phosphorous fuels algae growth, giving many Minnesota lakes a green, soupy appearance during warmer months. Once applied to a lake, alum binds with phosphorus, making it unavailable for algae to consume. Bald Eagle Lake, for example, was treated twice with alum to target phosphorus. The lake met state standards for water quality after the fi rst treatment for the fi rst time in more than three decades. "The lake is ripe for blue-green algae blooms; dogs die from it," pointed out Councilman Dan Jones, who sits on the VLAWMO board as the city's representative. "VLAWMO's mission statement is to improve water quality. There is no other treatment besides alum. If we want a clean lake, this is the price we pay. Goose has been a terrible lake for years." Mayor Jo Emerson said she was reluctant to have staff draft an ordinance due to homeowner opposition but felt VLAWMO "has put years into the recommendation." She agreed there is a cost to property owners. In a memo to the city late August, VLAWMO staff stated that property values are negatively affected by lakes dominated by algae blooms and that algae is the reason East Goose Lake is nearly devoid of plants. Normally, there is no public hearing at a fi rst reading of an ordinance but because of the interest, the mayor agreed to allow it. The item will be on the Oct. 22 agenda. The ordinance will receive a second reading, followed by another public hearing, at the Nov. 26 council meeting. Boating and waterskiing would still be allowed on West Goose Lake.

After nine years on the Planning Commission, Marvin Reed has resigned. He was gifted a white bear statue for his service by Mayor Jo Emerson at the Oct. 8 City Council meeting. Reed is moving to Ohio to spend more time with his grandchildren. City Manager Ellen Hiniker said the city will miss his “words of wisdom and problem-solving skills.” Reed called his tenure on the commission “very worthwhile” and encouraged people to be engaged in the community.

Bring on the trick-or-treaters
T
his will be my husband and my first year in Hugo for Halloween. We are hoping it is more eventful than when we lived in Oakdale. There, we were lucky if we got one or two trick-or-treaters. While our new home was being inspected, our inspector who lives in the area told us to get ready to buy bags and bags of candy because he never seems to have enough. I always enjoy seeing all of the costumes each year. Of course my favorite is when the human trickor-treaters bring their four-legged Out & companions. This year, our corgi Twinkie will be dressed up as a About unicorn and our German shepherd Frosty will be a donut. We plan to Shannon get some doggy treats too, just in Granholm case we spot some dogs looking for handouts. Halloween brings its challenges for dog owners. Every time the doorbell rings, the dogs seem to think the world is ending. Unfortunately, our dogs won’t be able to show off their costumes and hand out the candy and treats with us. I will just have to take pictures to prove that they let me put the costumes on. Each year I also enjoy looking at all of the decorations around town. I am always in search of people who go all out. Last year I really enjoyed writing the article, “Pumpkin mania a family affair” about Lino Lakes residents Ami and Jason Furchner and their children who live on Arrowhead Drive. In a tradition that stretches back more than 40 years, hundreds of pumpkins are gutted the Friday before Halloween and then family, friends, neighbors and strangers spend the next day carving. The pumpkins are then arranged on risers and lit up with different colored Christmas lights. If you know someone in our coverage area who has a unique story like this one, we would love to hear about it. It seems like nowadays more and more people are attending special events such as Trunk or Treat rather than going door-to-door to trick or treat. Growing up, I remember eating Papa Murphy’s pizza, getting all dressed up and heading out into our big neighborhood to collect candy. After a while, we would have to head back home to dump out our candy and then head out for some more. At the end of the night, I remember dumping out all of our candy on the living room floor to check out what we got. My parents made us check every piece to make sure it was still intact in its packaging and there was nothing suspicious. Of course they stole some pieces, too. I hope you all have a fun, safe and warm Halloween. Shannon Granholm is editor of The Citizen and Quad Community Press.

A new season at the food shelf
s the weather begins to turn toward fall, changes have been in the air at the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf, as well. I am honored to introduce myself as the new executive director, and share some updates on how the food shelf continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of our neighbors. I have worked in the White Bear community for the past 20 years, and for the past two years, I served on the board of directors of Movers & the food shelf, and volunteered Shakers regularly with family. I Perry Petersen my was already a passionate and involved supporter of the food shelf, but since becoming executive director in August, I have been able to learn even more about the huge impact the food shelf has in our community.
Our mission at the food shelf is to provide food and support to our neighbors in need, in partnership with the communities of the White Bear area. I can truly see this mission becoming reality every day. We provide more than 61,000 meals to over 1,000 families each month – an 11% increase since 2018. Unfortunately, more of our neighbors from all walks of life are facing food insecurity. Luckily, while the level of need is growing, the generosity in the White Bear area also continues to grow. Our funding comes from individuals, local business, foundations, community groups, and churches. As we have provided an increasing number of meals, “food rescue” – taking good, edible food that would otherwise go to waste and distributing to those in need – has become increasingly important. Over 50% of the food we distribute – approximately 300,000 pounds – comes from our local grocery stores.
Special thanks to Kowalskis, Lunds & Byerlys, Target, Fresh Thyme, and Kwik Trip for their generosity in partnering with us. Individuals in our community have made supporting the food shelf a part of their lives, and we are so grateful for their efforts. Gloria Carpenter helped raise $11,400 through her eighth annual “Shortest Marathon” last week. My family was able to participate this year, and we had a blast – we made it through the entire block-long race, and we loved seeing the energy and enthusiasm Gloria has as she pulls together friends, family, local businesses and churches. Our critical work simply would not be possible without the generous and ongoing support from our community. As I settle in to my new role at the food shelf, I am looking forward to exploring new ways we can work together to strengthen the White Bear Lake community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PAID LETTER: Vote Yes for school referendum I encourage everyone to vote YES on Nov. 5 for the White Bear Lake Area Schools’ bond referendum. As a lifetime district resident, a White Bear Lake Area High School alumnus (Go Bears!), a parent of three White Bear graduates, and as a 12-year member of the White Bear Lake City Council, I believe the passage of this bond referendum is critical to our community’s continued success, and to preserve our home values. I respect that this is a difficult decision, but looking at our history, what our communities and schools have achieved together and our responsibility to provide the foundation for a strong future, the district’s recommendation is well justified. More classrooms are needed throughout the district, from elementary through high school, and infrastructure must be maintained and improved. Combined with the tremendous growth since 2010, district enrollment is on track to be 25% higher than current capacity in the near future. Families are choosing White Bear Lake Area Schools to educate their children. Go Bears! Attracting new families to a community is competitive. Just as our surrounding and nearby school districts have done in recent years, White Bear Lake Area Schools must continue to improve our aging existing facilities and build new spaces to accommodate growth to stay competitive. As an example, expanding North Campus into a four-year comprehensive high school campus completely on land already owned by the district is a smart decision. Families have been requesting a one-campus high school to accommodate all 9-12 students for decades. Moreover, I truly believe this investment will enhance the student high school experience and create a better sense of community pride among students. The proposed projects will cost more in the future. Current costs of construction continue to outpace annual inflation. As a City Council member, I know that all the municipalities in our school district have very low per capita taxes compared to other Minnesota cities. The proposed facilities plan benefits every neighborhood in our school district. By voting yes on Nov. 5, you are investing in the future of our students and our communities and preserving the value of our homes. Dan Jones White Bear Lake
PAID LETTER: Vote no on bond referendum The White Bear School Board rejected a portion of the facility planning committee’s plan. Now it is time for the community to reject the remainder. The best way to do this is by voting no on the upcoming bond referendum. The board did not accept the Central Middle School portion of the plan, the site selected for the new school or the use of eminent domain to expand North Campus. If eminent domain is not going to be used, why is $6 million included for land acquisition? I also find it amazing that all of the furniture in the district needs to be replaced at the same time, to the tune of $13.6 million. A new elementary school is proposed for Hugo. Why wasn’t Oneka Elementary built large enough to accommodate the future growth in Hugo? All parents have many options when it comes to educating their
children. The public school system is only one option. Why does Hugo require a separate Early Childhood Center? What will happen to it when the children in Hugo age out of it? How is the operation of the new school going to be paid for? I have watched the school district operate for over 40 years. The only question in my mind is not if, but rather when, will the next levy referendum be? A few years ago, the district had a surplus of space. It sold a building to the sheet metal workers. The sheet metal workers are using the building as a school to teach their members their craft. Why the short-sightedness by the school district? Maybe the sheet metal workers will sell the building back to the district for less than the $45 million proposed for a new building. The sky is not falling as some would have you believe. Commercial construction is currently booming in this area. When construction slows down, the contractors will be forced to “sharpen their pencils” and the community will receive a better value for its money. Contrary to what the school board seems to think, not every taxpayer in the district has a fully mature money tree growing in their back yard. Rejecting this referendum will result in a new, more realistic and affordable referendum in the future. Donald Jorgensen Vadnais Heights
PAID LETTER: Jessup for county commissioner In determining who to vote for Nov. 5 for Ramsey County Board of Commissioners, my vote goes to Randy Jessup. Randy Jessup is a small-business owner who knows how to be fiscally responsible. He also has leadership and management experience. As a state representative, Randy has demonstrated independent leadership and a collaborative problem-solving approach in issues affecting the community. He has held a number of leadership positions in business, public service and his church. Educated as a chemical engineer at the University of Minnesota, his impact as to how to deal with environmental issues in the district will be beneficial for the community. Please join me and vote for Randy Jessup for Ramsey County Commissioner on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Gene Hoff Vadnais Heights
PAID LETTER: Frethem for Ramsey County commissioner We had the opportunity recently to meet Nicole Frethem, who is running for Ramsey County Commissioner in District 1. We were both very impressed by her enthusiasm and in-depth knowledge of county operations and governance. Listening to her speak refreshed our confidence that there truly are individuals pursuing elected office for what we consider the right reasons: that is, a desire to serve, a commitment to listen and an approach based in genuine humility. Please join us in supporting Nicole on Nov. 5. Chris and Dawn Hiniker White Bear Township
Learn how, why of upcoming census count The White Bear Lake Area League of Women Voters is sponsoring a free public program, “Community Counts in 2020,” from 7-8:30 p.m. Nov. 7 at White Bear Lake City Hall. Andrew Virden, director of Census Operation and Engagement, MN State Demographic Center, is the program speaker. The federal Constitution requires all U.S. residents to be counted every decade. This count helps ensure people are fairly and effectively represented in government, states get their fair share of federal funds, and public and private sectors make informed, long-term plans for housing, transportation, health services, investment and development, and more. The 2020 census is the fi rst census residents can complete online. Census Day is April 1, 2020. Virden will discuss the importance of the 2020 Census and ways in which White Bear Lake-area residents can help ensure an accurate population count. The U.S. Census Bureau expects 3,409 White Bear Lake residents to not self-respond to the online census. Renters, college students, ethnic minorities, low-income and homeless persons, senior citizens, non-citizens and individuals without internet access are especially at risk of being undercounted. This program will be recorded and made
available on the LWVWBLA web page. Questions for Virden can be emailed in advance to lwvwbl@lwvmn.org. Submitted

Clarification on bond literature By now all voters in the White Bear Lake school district have received the mailing of “Our Kids Our Communities Our Future Committee.” There are a couple of items in need of correction. First, in the middle column of the front page: “In 1972 the split campus high school model (North Campus/South Campus) began in our district.” That is not true. There were two high schools in White Bear Lake, White Bear Lake High School on the north side and Mariner High School on the south. These were separate schools; Mariner even went to the State High School Hockey Tournament. In the 1983-1984 school year, White Bear North Campus and South Campus emerged. In fact, on the same front page, White Bear Lake City Council member Dan Jones promoted the coming levy and identified himself as a Mariner High School alumnus. The merger occurred, in part, for cost saving. I cannot address whether the alleged north/south rivalry, new building vs. old building, was part of the debate. I do recall comments about this merger such as needing only one set of teachers for the high school level instead of having two staffs, e.g., one chemistry teacher instead of two. It was suggested that advanced students at the north campus would be bused for classes to the south campus during the day. Second, “ISD 624 has not had a major secondary school project since 1972.” Depending on the definitions of “major” and “secondary” (the latter can include middle school grades), Sunrise Park (previously Junior High School) Middle School has undergone some renovation. Prior to its reopening as a middle school after years as the district center/ecfe/senior center, circa 1993-1994, new windows were installed and other renovations made and desks and lockers discarded in dumpsters. The following year, after these renovations were completed, part of the east side of the building was torn out to add a new wing to the school.

City needs more roundabouts It is time for White Bear Lake to phase out four-way stops and move to roundabouts. Such stops are a relic from a time with low traffic volumes and minimal information about effective urban planning. Ultimately, they are archaic, inefficient and dangerous. Surely every driver — certainly, during busy periods — is fed up with the bizarre, uncomfortable and often stressful ritual that four-way stops demand. Roundabouts are easier to navigate, far more efficient in keeping cars moving, and much safer. The transition could be done with modest expense: roundabouts, in most cases, require only a small concrete circle in the center of the road and some additional road markings. Mark Powell Lino Lakes

Man driving 80 mph charged in fatal crash BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — A Maple Grove man was charged this month for speed that allegedly caused a fatal crash near Highway 96 and I-35E in March. Robert James Norby, 52, was driving a DHL delivery truck eastbound on Highway 96 the afternoon of March 22 when he crashed the SUV into a Kia Sportage turning onto the southbound I-35E ramp, according to the criminal complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court. The 25-year-old driver of the Kia, from West St. Paul, was found unconscious at the scene by a White Bear Lake police officer and was pronounced dead at Regions Hospital. Norby was taken to the hospital with a wrist and knee fracture. According to the investigation, Norby had a red light and the victim had a green arrow at the time of the crash. Multiple witnesses saw the delivery truck speeding on the right shoulder of the highway. One witness said the vehicle went airborne prior to the crash. Forensic testing concluded it was going over 80 mph. The speed limit was 40 mph. Public safety officials concluded that the victim could not have survived the crash because the vehicle was going so fast and T-boned the victim's vehicle. After an investigation, it was concluded that Norby was not using his phone while he was driving. Norby said he has little memory of the crash and didn't see where the car came from. His license had been temporarily suspended three times in the last three years for failure to provide medical documents. At the time of the crash, he had no driving restrictions. According to medical records obtained via search warrant, Norby took a medicine for seizures the morning of the crash and had seizure listed in his medical history. In September, Norby submitted a loss of consciousness reinstatement certificate to the DMV. The felony offense carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and/or a $20,000 fine.

The sentence stems from an incident in March involving second-degree felony assault with a dangerous weapon — in this case, a knife — against three female victims, ages 42, 15 and 6. Sanders threatened his girlfriend with a knife after returning home from the bar. When she ran into her daughters' bedroom, he followed, threatening to harm them if they called 911. The victims managed to escape to a neighbor's apart-

Loon Chronicles IV: Life is Good Finally, some decent weather! We have not had a calm day on White Bear Lake in weeks and almost forgot what the sun looked like. We spotted four juvenile Loons fishing all around the lake from sunrise to sunset. They have been more independent than most juvenile Loons spotted in the fall and appeared to be totally focused on fishing and diving, which made photographing them almost impossible. The Loon’s head contracts before diving, so that, at least, gave us a clue that we had to act quickly before the inevitable dive. The Coots have been gathering in larger groups in the bulrushes near the Manitou Island Bridge and in the War Zone. The Eagles are back and have been following the Coots’ patterns. We have spotted several Eagles hovering above the flocks or perched in trees within raiding distance. The migratory ducks are not as prolific this year. Last year, we spotted the whole crew by mid October. So far, we have only seen a few Grebes and a handful of Redheads, all out of camera range. On the other hand, the fall colors continue to dazzle and increase in intensity each day. Manitou Island takes the prize this year.

He also has an extraditable warrant out of Florida. • Victoria Lynn Scott, 40, of White Bear Lake, was charged with fifth-degree drug possession, a gross misdemeanor, and misdemeanor theft.

She also had a small amount of methamphetamine in her purse. When searched at the jail, a bubble glass pipe was found on her person, as well as additional meth.

Covered bridge of Washington County Soon, the Lake Links trail will have its own covered bridge. Two crews from Goliath Tech installed the helical pile support system last week for the bridge over Depot Creek in Mahtomedi. Goliath is part of a blend of people and companies who are donating time and materials to the project. Mahtomedi City Engineer John Sachi joined Lake Links’ Co-chair Steve Wolgamot Oct. 14 to meet the crews and take measurements for the installation. According to Mike Brooks, the Ramsey County co-chair on the Lake Links project, the Goliath Tech approach is minimally invasive and cost-effective. “They worked in close proximity to the creek with no concrete waste or need to get heavy equipment on the site. The elegance of Goliath Tech is their use of a small backhoe with a specialized attachment to screw the pile into place, moving as much dirt as a large gopher would. Well, a somewhat prehistoric-sized gopher … but still a rodent-sized intrusion into the ground.” Alignment is handled with lasers and by hand; a person guides the operator from the point where the pile is being driven into the ground, Brooks added. “We cannot thank Goliath Tech enough and urge you to consider their services if you or a neighbor has a project that requires in-ground supports.”
The wooden covered bridge spans the creek at Streetcar Park, connecting Briarwood Avenue, Tamarack Street and the Streetcar Trail. Principal sponsors of the project are Dan and Karen Runze of Mahtomedi, in memory of their son Griffi n. Other local donors include Larson Engineering for structural approvals; Sharkey Design Build for the erection; White Bear Boatworks for cable railings; Trussbilt LLC for stainless steel components and Goliath Tech for the steel footings.

our school more sustainable, and we are also looking to try to save a few bucks,” Roeser explained. The district has also become one of the few school districts that has been able to sustain a Food to Hogs program through BizRecycling, he added. Through the program, the district recycles organic food waste. There has also been a push for other types of recycling in the district and students help with sorting. “We have become a model program around the Twin Cities for waste and recycling,” Roeser said. “The biggest difference why these programs are working in our school is students.” School Board Student Liaison Madison Carroll said the labeling
the district has done has helped students participate. “I've noticed a lot of kids in classrooms actively recycling their extra papers,” she said. Students have also been involved with water conservation at their schools, Carroll added. Groundwater conservation assessments have been done at Vadnais and Matoska elementary schools. Matoska Water Warriors students worked with Ramsey and Anoka County environmental resource specialists to measure school water usage. High school student Sophie Davis said she learned about water conservation from a young age through the district's Race to Reduce educational program, in partnership with H20 for Life. She learned about the
local and global significance with low water levels in White Bear Lake and water shortages in developing countries, she said. “I realized the importance of water and how much we take it for granted,” she said. Now, she testifies at the Legislature for water conservation and she is working with Trane to help develop energy-efficient automation systems in the district, as part of the manufacturing pathways program. White Bear Lake City Manager Ellen Hiniker said the city has been partnering with the district to go green. Earlier this year, the city joined Climate Smart Municipalities, a partnership between six cities in Minnesota and Germany, facilitated through the University
of Minnesota. The program aims to work together to transition energy use and use green technology. The district partnered with the city regarding school programs. Classes are analyzing and exchanging weather data, she noted. The city and district have also been working together on a potential pilot study for an automated vehicle (AV) shuttle in White Bear Lake for the elderly and disabled. The grant application is currently being fi nalized and the city should hear within a month if it received the grant. The pilot study would be in partnership with 14 area organizations.
NAMES IN THE NEWS Press Publications CEO Matt McMillan has been voted to the America's Newspapers board of directors. The association ceremonially launched this month in Chicago when Inland Press Association merged with Southern Newspaper Publishers Association. Its mission is to be the industry's largest voice for local newspapers and the role they serve. “This is a moment in history when citizens are realizing the value local reporting plays in our communities,” McMillan said. “People are deluged with unsubstantiated stories. Joining these two powerful associations allows members to tell millions of readers from coast to coast the vital role our reporters and editors play. Recent research shows communities without real local newspapers pay higher taxes due to a loss of oversight.”
White Bear Lake resident Sara Morgan has been accepted into the eightmonth Minnesota Partners in Policymaking leadership training program. Participants include adults with disabilities and parents raising children with developmental disabilities. Morgan has a son with physical disabilities stemming from chromosomal abnormalities. The program was created by the Minnesota Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities.

then, bill deadlines are close. It was amazing how far you got to getting a bill passed.” At their biweekly community meeting Oct. 9 at City Hall, Hastings mentioned that they are collaborating with nonprofits to “move forward” with efforts to ban TCE. Minnesota would be the fi rst state to do so. The women are doing other work behind the scenes regarding Water Gremlin’s actions. In an attempt to hold the company accountable, they have fi led complaints with the Environmental Protection Agency, according to member Leigh Thiel. “EPA is the organization that can actually do something from a criminal charge perspective. The complaints are in alignment with everything we have talked about to date,” she said. “We don’t know who knows about this or cares, but it’s one thing we did. Citizens can fi le EPA complaints, as well. There is a presumption that some have done that.” NCCG board members hope to see a criminal review and eventual charges against Water Gremlin for violating its air quality permit and infractions regarding the stipulation agreement signed March 1 with the MPCA. “There may be criminal charges going on behind the scenes,” Tapkan added. “The tricky part is we don’t know. There have been more conversations about it recently, we don’t know if it’s being pursued. From our perspective, criminal charges are right and just.” At their meeting with the governor, members also suggested a review of MPCA’s handling of the Water Gremlin case. “We’re not happy with everything MPCA has done,” Tapkan added. “We feel strongly that some things should have been done differently and better.” Added Thiel, “One thing we talked to the governor about is the citizen voice. As a leader of regulatory agencies, how can you create a culture where action can be taken upon the citizen voice? White Bear has us, but what about people in Rosemount near Spectro Alloys? Who is watching out for them?” The women are grateful for area legislators who have become proponents of their cause. They promise to continue their focus on monitoring soil and water test results at the Water Gremlin site, and remediation efforts. They will continue holding monthly community meetings for anyone interested in their advocacy work. See wbanccg.org for more information. In the meantime, Water Gremlin’s battery terminal coating process remains closed down while the company tests a nontoxic, water-based solvent.

OBITUARY NOTICES
Horace Hills Irvine II
June 1, 1937 - October 14, 2019 Horace “Hod� Irvine II died peacefully at his home on White Bear Lake. Hod is remembered as a highly successful electronics industry leader, an enthusiastic lover and builder of Opera in the United States, as an avid sailor, skier, golfer and tennis player, and someone who worked and played hard. He was loving, fun, smart, mischevious, and driven. He was an optimist and loved life. He enjoyed his family immensely. We all remember his hearty, spontaneous laugh. Hod was raised in White Bear Lake, MN and attended Saint Paul Academy, St. Paul's School, and Princeton University. In 1965, Hod and his wife, Sandra, moved to Boston to attend Harvard Business School. In 1966, he started Hadco Corporation, which through his vision, leadership and salesmanship, became the largest printed circuit board company in the United States. His leadership helped pioneer a booming electronic industry. While in Boston, he also supported the Arts. His enthusiasm, knowledge and extraordinary love for opera compelled him to use his visionary business talents as Board Chair to be a driving force behind the spectacular growth and success of the Boston
Lyric Opera. He was on the Board through the end of his life. He was deeply committed to supporting new and emerging artists that are now singing in operas around the world. In addition to the BLO, Hod was a founding board member of the now prominent Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, and he served on the board of National Opera Institute as President. He also served on the boards of the The Minnesota Opera, The American Repertory Theatre, and Opera America. Hod had many loves. He was married three times to Sandra, Andrea and Cassandra. His later years were with his lifelong friend, Anne Wooliever. He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Sally Irvine, and two brothers, Tom Irvine and Jock Irvine. He is survived by sister Jill Crow and brother Bill Irvine. Hod is also survived by his children, Hod Irvine III (Cynthia), Julia Madore, Kathryn Playa, Kevin Irvine, John Irvine, Cate Irvine, Andrew (Linda) Irvine and Molly Irvine. He also leaves behind eight grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Hod also leaves behind his exceptional assistant and devoted caregiver of nearly 12 years, Hood Kanaabi, who empowered Hod, despite significant health challenges, to continue to live his life to the fullest. A private family memorial service was held. Memorials are preferred to Boston Lyric Opera, Minnesota Opera and The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.

VOTE NO 10 REASONS
TO VOTE NO ON THE SCHOOL REFERENDUM NOVEMBER 5
THE MEGA HIGH SCHOOL ISN’T A FIT
AND IT DOESN’T FIT
The school board likes to share so-called “factsâ€? on why to approve the largest school referendum in Minnesota history. It makes sense; they have deep pockets (ours) and considerable resources to do so. So, while we can’t robo-call the entire city or print ĆƒKGTU HQT VJG OCUUGU YG ECP TGURQPF KP MKPF *GTG CTG TGCUQPU [QW UJQWNF
vote NO on the school referendum November 5:
1 VOTE NO BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLAN When is the last time you spent $326 million without seeing a plan? There hasn’t been a glimpse of anything resembling a plan for the mega school campus, but they’re perfectly comfortable asking us all to open our wallets.
6 VOTE NO BECAUSE A SQUARE PEG WON’T FIT IN A ROUND HOLE
2 VOTE NO BECAUSE IT’S NOT A FIT
7 VOTE NO BECAUSE YOU WANT MORE ANALYSIS

4 VOTE NO BECAUSE THEY’LL NEED MORE LAND
When you don’t have enough space, you need to get more land. Sadly, for anyone living near North Campus, “This land is your land!� The school board claims they won’t invoke eminent domain.

5 VOTE NO BECAUSE IT’S HISTORICALLY EXPENSIVE

LOOKING BACK Week of October 20-26, 2019 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.
1919 Much interest is being evinced at the opening of the new pipe organ now being installed and nearing completion at the Presbyterian Church. The event will be Tuesday evening. White Bear is to be congratulated in having an organ of such proportions, as well as an organist of experience, such as Mrs. F. D. Parker who is to preside.
1944 The Mahtomedi fi remen will hold their sixth annual bingo party and turkey contest Saturday night, November 18. The Mahtomedi fire ladies take much interest in the department and are doing a good service for their town. It goes without saying the people of Mahtomedi and Willernie will patronize their party heavily and it is hoped White Bear will also make a good neighborly showing. They should.
1969 White Bear Lake will add a complex of apartments and a shopping area if the proposed plan presented to the Planning Commission by Herb Tousley on Monday night is accepted. Plans call for a 132-unit apartment complex to be built between County Road E and Elm Street west of Highland.

1994 A group of area residents have gained a few more strides for local bikers, walkers, in-line skaters and runners in the quest for a safe recreational route around White Bear Lake. After spending two years wading through the bureaucratic muck, the Around the Lake Trail Task Force is closer to developing a continuous biking and walking trail around the lake.
Looking Forward to the Past Upcoming Historical Society Events

In 1972, the split campus high school model (North Campus/South Campus) began in our district, and we were able to make that work with lower student enrollment. Planners stated back in 1972, that this model would not be sustainable with increased student enrollment. There are no other split campus high schools in Minnesota. Many of our south side buildings are currently at or near capacity, and a demographic study determined that student enrollment will grow by more than 2,000 students during the next 10 years.

Saving the day: Goalie helps Zephyrs win duel, return to state BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The situation was tense enough to induce tears from Megan Lisowy. A section championship and trip to state came down to five penalty kicks. Doesn’t get much scarier than that for soccer goalkeepers. “I was crying,” the Mahtomedi senior said, about the break before the shootout. “But I composed myself.” Lisowy sure did. She made two diving saves against Hill-Murray, allowing just one shot of four to hit the back of the net, with one sailing over the crossbar. That gave the Zephyrs a 3-1 shootout win, and officially a 3-2 victory, for the Section 4A championship, in a duel between the No. 1 and 2 ranked teams in the state. ‘We practice them (penalty kicks) a ton, and she always does very well,” coach Dave Wald said. “She has the greatest personality for it. When she saved that fi rst shot, it really set the tone.” Mahtomedi (13-2-2), two-time defending state champion, will try for a third consecutive state crown after beating the Pioneers (13-3-2) in the section fi nals for the third straight year. The Zephyrs are top-seeded at state and open Wednesday, Oct. 23, against Bemidji (13-5-1) at St. Cloud State, 7:30 p.m. The Zephyrs and Pioneers deadlocked 2-2 after 80 minutes in Maplewood. Two 10-minute overtimes went scoreless, with H-M goalie Sydney Stone leaping and lunging for five tough saves on scorching shots. After both goalies arrived at the net for the shoot-out, Lisowy twice reached out and shook her counterpart’s hand. “One at a time, one at a time,” Lisowy told her. Asked what she told herself, Lisowy said, “Just do what I’ve practiced. We practice PK’s a lot. And whatever happens happens.”
Lauren Heinsch and Rachael McCleery drilled their shots into the net, Erika Broten’s sailed high, and Lindsey Handke buried hers. Lisowy smothered H-M’s fi rst shot lunging to the right, and when she snagged the fourth shot diving left, it was over. Delivering the regulation goals were two other seniors who, like Lisowy, are distinguished veterans of two state title runs. Heinsch scored from about 12 feet to the right of the net, pivoting 90 degrees to shoot, for a 1-1 tie in the fi rst half. “I saw the goalie in the near post, and the far post open,” said Heinsch, who had seven of her team’s 14 goals in the sectionals. “I just had to get my hips around to the ball.” Anna Wagner ran under a soaring kick that Heinsch launched from midfield and had a one-on-one with Stone, so far ahead of the defenders that she was able to take her time dribbling into position. “I tried to stay composed and place the ball just right. I knew we really needed it,” said Wagner, who gave her team a 2-1 lead in the 73rd minute. Claire Cater scored H-M’s fi rst goal, and assisted on the second with a corner kick that Katherine Schindler headed into the net with 5:25 left to knot the score. The Zephyrs won their semifi nal 3-0 over Como Park on Tuesday with Broten, Audrey Sexson and Mickenzie Mireault scoring. This was Mahtomedi’s seventh straight section fi nal, of which they have won five, and the fourth straight against H-M. The Zephyrs will play in their 14th state tournament and seek their ninth Class A title. Other state pairings are No. 4 Waconia (13-2-4) vs. No. 5 Blake (12-7), No. 2 Holy Angels (16-2-1) vs. Cloquet-Carlton (18-2), and No. 3 Orono vs. Rochester Lourdes (15-3-1). If the Zephyrs beat Bemidji, they’ll face Waconia or Blake in the semifi nals Monday noon, at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Oops: Marathon listing omitted fastest runner

Brian Bailey running Twin cities marathon.
A call from a proud mother set the record straight. The best time for a White Bear Lake runner in the Twin Cities Marathon was not the person listed in the Oct. 9 sports section. The best time was 2:57:22 earned by Brian Bailey, a '94 White Bear Lake grad who ran cross country and track in high school. In fact, Bailey took sixth at state as a junior under cross country coach Don Glover, who taught physical education while coaching multiple sports. Bailey followed in his mentor's footsteps, becoming a physical education teacher himself at Roseville Area High School where he also is head cross country and track coach. Bailey's mom, Dianne Bailey, knew her son would be a runner at age 7
when he accompanied her on a 7-mile jaunt and “never stopped talking.” Dianne and Dale, Brian's dad, were into running 10Ks. Dale wanted to run the Twin Cities marathon but never got the chance due to stress fractures. Dale recalled how coach Glover saw Brian's mile time in elementary school and started to put pressure on him to run cross country. “Glover was a fantastic coach. He would call me and say, 'I don't know what we'll do with this kid. He won't train.' Brian treated training like a race,” Dale said. “Glover was afraid he would push too hard and get hurt. He ran with varsity as a freshman. He'd start out with the pack and then the competitive juices would flow.” Despite his years of running, this
was Bailey's first marathon, his mom noted. Brian met his goal to finish in a time that qualifies him for the 2021 Boston marathon. Race stats showed Bailey, 43, ranked 163rd out of 6,746 runners at the Twin Cities marathon, averaging a 6:47 mile. Running seems to run in the family. Brian and his wife Amy (Horazdovski), a '97 White Bear grad who also teaches in the Roseville school district, have three daughters. The oldest switched her sport to volleyball, according to grandpa, but the middle daughter likes to run. “She's like an energizer bunny,” Dale said. “She's just like Brian was, she likes to talk. She'll be the cross country runner.” Debra Neutkens

It was deja vu for the White Bear Lake Bears, generating another fun, furious ending to a football game, only to be foiled in the final seconds. Once again, the Bears trailed by two touchdowns, scrambled back to the verge of victory, and fell short, this time 29-27 against Woodbury in the regular season finale, Wednesday evening at home. “It’s tough to lose one like that — just like the East Ridge game,” said Brandon Berwald, junior quarterback, who hit 19 of 38 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions, and in the last eight minutes engineered two scoring drives and almost a third. It came down to a 38yard field goal attempt by Jeff Odamtten with 12 seconds left. Odamtten, whose perfect onside kick with 1:01 left had kept their hopes alive, booted it high and far, almost directly over the right post, close enough for some boisterous cheering to erupt. However, the official looking straight up at it from under the post shook his head and crossed his arms. No good. “I thought he made it,” coach Kyle Bartlett said. “They said it was by a few inches. Jeff’s got the leg for it, so I thought we’d go for it right there.” In week five, also at home, the Bears trailed East Ridge 28-14 late in the third quarter and staged a furious rally. A touchdown and a field goal made it 28-23, and an apparent winning touchdown with 13 seconds left was called back for a

Confident runner nabs Bears first SEC title in 19 years BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Max Nelson was pretty sure he’d be wearing a gold medal at the end of the day. “I knew going in I was going to win,” said the 2019 Suburban East Conference cross country champion, two days later. “I am an ‘ego’ runner, and if I tell myself I’m gonna do something, I go out and do it. “I was talking a pretty big game before the race.” Having called his shot, the White Bear Lake senior delivered, outrunning the field in a meet with three of the top four ranked teams in the state, at Tanners Brook Golf Course near Forest Lake on Tuesday, Oct. 15. Nelson covered 5,000 meters in a personal-best 15:55.7, pulling away from Finn
Sokolowski (15:58.9) of Mounds View and John Feller (15:59.3) of East Ridge — becoming the first Bear conference champion in 19 years, since Matt Glover in 2000. “I just stuck with the top three, and at the 4K mark I hauled it in,” said Nelson, who lead the Bears to second place behind Mounds View. The 6-foot, 130-pound runner who finished 14th as a sophomore (16:36) and seventh as a junior (16:11) became champ after giving up his other sport. “Max has always been a solid runner. He played basketball until last year, and this summer decided he wanted to focus solely on running,” said coach Dan Kovacich. “He had a real solid summer of running that he didn’t get in past years.” Kovacich was delighted to have the first champion in his 17 years coaching the Bears, after three runners-up. The coach assessed that Nelson ran smart, sticking
among the lead group but not going full throttle until the last 1,000 meters. “Max has a lot of foot speed and can run anything from 400 to 5,000 meters competitively. We talked about if he was in the lead the last 800 meters no one was going to beat him.” Nelson caught a little break when Sokolowski, his prime rival, made a mistake. “Finn took a wrong turn and lost a few steps. I yelled at him that he was off course,” said Nelson, who, along with Bear teammates, became good friends with the Mustangs when both teams attended a running camp at UW-Whitewater this summer. Next is the Section 4AA meet Wednesday, Oct. 23, featuring the 1-2 ranked boys in the state, Oliver Paleen from Highland Park and Mickies Kiros from St. Paul Central.

Almost all goals met, Bear girls are runners-up in conference CC BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The White Bear Lake girls were runners-up in the Suburban East Conference cross country meet, led by Maddie Verkerke in third place, on Tuesday, Oct. 15. “We had a very good meet. We set our team goals to fi nish in the top two and have five all-conference athletes,” coach Patricia Percival said. “We knew this would be a very difficult goal and would have to have a great day to do this. And we came so very close to meeting these goals.” The Bears had four all-conference with another missing by one spot in the race at Tanners Brook near Forest Lake. Verkerke, a senior, was third into the chute in 18:41.7. Also all-conference were Melanie Pankow
in seventh (19:02), junior Claire Schneider in 17th (19:24), and sophomore Maggie Blanding in 19th (19:38). Placing 21st (for honorable mention) was junior Natalie Andres (19:43). “I am very proud of this team and the way they performed in tough conditions,” Percival said. “The confidence that we gained today will help us at the section meet next week.” Stillwater had three of the top five, including champion Ana Weaver, building a 34 to 67 edge on the Bears. Forest Lake was third with 85. Next for the Bears is Section 4AA on Wednesday, Oct. 23, at the University of Minnesota’s Les Bolstad Golf Course.

Isaac Maruyama (760) and Zach Thomas run together early in the conference race.
Led by individual champion Max Nelson, the White Bear Lake boys placed runners-up in the strongest cross country conference in the state. Nelson won in 15:55.7 (see separate story) and three other Bears also made all-conference with top-20 finishes in the Suburban East meet at Tanners Brook Golf Course near Forest Lake on Tuesday, Oct. 15. Mounds View, ranked No. 2 in the state, won with 48 points, followed by the No. 3 Bears with 59 and No. 4 Stillwater with 76. “I thought we ran well today,” said coach Dan Kovacich, noting that his top eight earned all-conference or honorable mention. “We are starting to come together. We just need our number five to move closer to our four, and we could be pretty good in the postseason.”
Also all-SEC were junior Trevor Locke in 10th place (16:23), senior Logan Tanttu in 11th (16:24), and senior Isaac Maruyama in 14th (16:26). Honorable mentions were sophomore Ernie Mattson in 23rd (14:52), senior Sam Verkerke in 24th (16:52), junior Ben McLaughlin in 26th (17:04) and senior Jordan Haag in 29th (17:12). Their ninth guy, junior Zach Thomas, was 31st (17:18) among 96 entrants. Next for the Bears is Section 4AA, which includes Stillwater and No. 4 St. Paul Highland Park, on Wednesday, Oct. 23, at Les Bolstad Golf Course, top two advancing to state. “Someone is going home crying in their soup,” Kovacich said. “We have a good team and will be ready for the challenge that is sections.” TEAM SCORING — (1) Mounds View 48 (2) White Bear Lake 59 (3) Stillwater 76 (4) East Ridge 121 (5) Forest Lake 133 (6) Roseville Area 153 (7) Woodbury 184 (8) Irondale 217 (9) Cretin-Derham Hall 255 (10) Park of Cottage Grove 295

It looked so promising heading into last weekend with blazing sun on Thursday and Friday. Would another weekend be spoiled by rain on Saturday? The last Saturday where we had any sun was back on September 28. Why would this past Saturday be any different than previous wet October Saturdays? Rolling out of bed and going out to grab the paper, the rain drops started. But around lunchtime the skies began to clear and out came the sun. The afternoon was wonderful and Sunday too. The rain did return, in large amounts on Monday to start the workweek, as it should. Side Note: Congratulation to friend Randy Fulton on his 33rd Run for the Apples run this past Saturday at Pine Tree Apple Orchard. This was his last as Race Director and will be turning the reigns over to the Rotary Club. Randy will still be involved with the timing. Thank you Randy for 33 great years!

Upset win for local speed skater in North Shore marathon Giorgia Birkeland, 17-year-old speed skater from White Bear Lake, was the surprise winner of the 24th annual North Shore Inline Marathon, a race that included one of the top stars in the sport, last month in Duluth. Placing fourth was Julie Brandt-Glass, 40, a Michigan native who’s won national, world and X-Games championships, including the 2019 national marathon. ESPN once called her “The Usain Bolt of Roller Derby.” Birkeland was one of a trio of skaters who, late in the 26-mile race, zoomed past the group of elite skaters who had started two minutes ahead of the nonelites. The local skater told the Duluth News-Tribune: “I was honestly super surprised (to pass them). I didn’t know if it was them or a different pack … I thought we could draft them, but
we weren’t supposed to intermix. There was some confusion there.” Also a standout speed skater on ice, Birkeland covered the inline course from Two Harbors to Duluth (same as Grandma’s Marathon) in one hour, 19 minutes, and 8.78 seconds. It’s billed as the largest inline skating race in the nation. Katrina Brown, 14, of Pennsylvania, and Sara Smith, 36, of North Carolina, also beat Brandt-Glass, who finished in 1:19:17 to lead the elite group that collected the $5,000 in cash prizes. Birkeland, Brown and Smith were not eligible for prizes because they were not registered in the higher-priced elite division. (Information from Duluth News-Tribune and the Passion/ Patin/Vitesse speed skating website.)

Teen moving up in state racquetball rankings Ava Kaiser, 14-year-old racquetball ace from Lake Elmo, has picked up two more championships and moved up to the No. 2 spot in state women’s rankings. In the state Women’s Open, Kaiser defeated No. 2 ranked Cheryl Jones of Rochester 15-4, 15-11 and No. 1 Vallana Perrault of Zimmerman 15-12, 15-6 to capture the title Sept. 20-21 at Fridley Lifetime Fitness Kaiser moved from fourth to second in USA Racquetball’s state rankings, and needs a second win over Perrault (who has topped the list for a decade) to claim the top spot. The Mahtomedi freshman was the youngest of 700-plus athletes from 13 countries in the United Healthcare U.S. Open Racquetball championships, where she teamed with Barb Hoffner, an adult from Bloomington, to win the
women’s “A” doubles, Oct. 2-6 at Target Center. Teamed up for the first time, they beat duo’s from Japan, California, Michigan, Indiana and Minnesota. It was Kaiser’s first U.S. Open. Each year about a dozen junior players test their skills at this “grand slam” event and have a tendency to stand out in a crowd. “The first question Ava gets asked is ‘how old are you?’ Their usual response is a big smile — until they see her hit, and the smile turns into a look of concern,” observed Rhonda Kimler, Ava’s mother. Kaiser, who has earned titles and high placements in her age group at state, national and world meets for several years, said the state No. 1 ranking is her “short-term” goal, on the way to her real goal: “No. 1 in the world.” She is gaining confidence:

Ava Kaiser, 14, and a partner, were 5-0 at U.S. Open doubles.
“Instead of wondering if I’m going to win, I now visualize myself winning the match. My mental toughness has become a big component of my game,” Kaiser said.
Munson tops Zephyr teammate for state tennis berth BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Annika Munson will be Mahtomedi’s lone representative at the state tennis tournament to cap an outstanding season by her team. Munson beat her teammate Lauren Splett
7-5, 6-1 in a true-second match Tuesday, Oct. 15, to qualify for state as runner-up, after both of them lost to Roseville Area’s Nicole Ridenauer, the champion, in Section 4AA singles at the University of Minnesota. An eighth-grader who also qualified for state
last year, Munson takes a 24-4 record into state singles starting Thursday at the U of M. Splett finished her junior year 23-5. It was, said their coach Aaron Freer, “an unusual showdown between teammates for the last remaining spot for the
state tournament” and two evenly matched teammates at that, who alternated all year between 1-2 singles. Freer noted that each was 23-4 entering the match, with Splett 45-9 in sets and Munson 45-8, and each had won 287 games. Asked how the two
friends handled it, the coach said, “I think as well as possible. A tough spot for the competitors and spectators, knowing that only one will go to state pending the outcome of that match.” Mahtomedi, ranked No. 3, lost in the section finals to No. 4 Mounds
Financial Management Simple ways to keep a realistic budget
Budgets do not have to be difficult. With a few strategies, a realistic saving and spending plan can be made. Successful fi nancial plans often begin with the creation of a budget. A budget is an estimate of income and expenses in a given period of time. Budgets help with longterm goals like paying off a
mortgage or sending a child to college as well as shortterm goals like fi nancing a dream vacation. Not all budgets are alike, and when people hear the word “budget,” they may get apprehensive. Budgeting may require making some concessions in regard to spending habits, but it doesn’t have to put a complete damper on plans.
In fact, with a budget in hand, people may be more free to spend because they will have a stronger grasp of their fi nancial situation. Making a realistic budget does not have to be a chore. Here is how to get started. · List the necessities. Begin by calculating the costs associated with fi xed needs, including rent/mortgage, utilities, food, and any other
bills you have to pay each month. · Add existing debt. Debt includes any routine payments being made to credit card companies, student loan lenders, car payments, or unpaid medical bills. · Conduct a spending analysis over several months. Budgets are easier with fi xed numbers, but unforeseen variables can affect spending every month. These can include the extras for clothing, entertainment and much more. Average the cost of these expenses throughout your analysis period so you can get some idea of how much to allocate for them. · Use software or apps to help. There are plenty of resources available to help people calculate their
budgets and get a picture of their fi nancial habits. Resources such as Mint, YNAB (You Need a Budget) and various accounting programs can produce spreadsheets, pie charts and bar graphs as you work to create a budget. · Start trimming gradually. Quitting a certain lifestyle cold turkey can be jarring. Gradually cut back on your spending if your analysis suggests that’s the way to go. · Automate saving. Immediately removing a set amount from your paychecks by having it directly deposited into a separate account can remove the temptation of spending too much from your fi nancial equation. Budgets are a key part of a fi nancial plan and can help people reach their goals.

Annika Munson, shown serving during the Section 4AA team tourney, was singles runner-up.
View 4-3 and finished 17-3, including an earlier win over the Mustangs. Munson, seeded fourth, and Splett, seeded second, each breezed through the first three rounds on Oct. 10 and 14. In the semifinals Tuesday, Splett topped No. 3 Natalie Ennett of Centennial 6-0, 6-1. Munson faced top-seed Ridenauer, against whom she had a 3-3 record in USTA matches. Ridenauer won this one 6-3, 6-0. In the first-place match, Ridenauer defeated Splett 6-2, 6-1 while Munson won third place over Ennett 6-0, 6-0. Because Munson had not faced Splett in the tournament, she played a true-second match against her teammate. Mahtomedi entered its four seniors in doubles competition. Both teams — Elena Carlson with Sarah Hoffman, and Chloe Irvine with Annika Hillstrom — won their first two matches and lost in the quarterfinals. “Mahtomedi was the only team in the section where all six (entries) reached the quarterfinal round,” Freer said. Carlson finished 19-6, Hoffman 18-7, Hillstrom 16-9 and Irvine 13-6.

Wildwood teacher receives presidential award MAHTOMEDI — Trish Haugh, second-grade teacher at Wildwood Elementary School at Mahtomedi Public Schools, received the distinguished honor to be named a recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). Haugh shared her reaction to the award. “Winning the Presidential Award leaves me feeling unbelievably grateful to be placed in the company of such highly acclaimed educators. This award acknowledges the need for high-quality mathematics instruction at the primary level for all students. Just as importantly, it supports my belief that the teachers at Wildwood Elementary School — and the students with whom they work — are amazingly dedicated and talented.” The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) are the highest honors bestowed by the United States government specifically for K-12 science, technology, engineering, mathematics and/or computer science teaching. The award recognizes those teachers have both deep content knowledge of the subjects they teach and the ability to
motivate and enable students to be successful in those areas. Awardees reflect the expertise and dedication of the nation's teaching corps, and they demonstrate the positive impact of excellent teachers on student achievement. Haugh believes that every child can and should love mathematics. That belief is evident every day in her classroom at Wildwood Elementary School. During her 30 years as a teacher, all spent Trish Haugh at Wildwood, Haugh has taught first and second graders, created standards-based mathematics assessments, designed digital mathematics lessons for her team, and coached teachers on the use of complex instruction. She currently teaches all subjects to her second grade class.
Haugh researches and implements best practices, recently focusing on student equity within the elementary classroom. She believes that every student deserves to be challenged and to make progress throughout the school year. She provides support to teachers to meet this need and is regarded as a trusted resource by her colleagues. She has served as a facilitator for several professional learning communities and has been a lead teacher on her building and district math curriculum committees. Haugh was a co-presenter on the use of complex instruction in the primary level classroom at the 2019 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Conference. She earned a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's in teacher leadership, both from the University of Minnesota. She is a certified elementary educator and is a member of NCTM and the Minnesota Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Submitted
SCHOOL BRIEFS Community Baby Closet opens A new resource was launched for families in the White Bear community called the Community Baby Closet. This closet brings free infant products to families in the White Bear area including diapers, wipes, infant formula and infant toiletries including shampoo, lotion and diaper cream. This resource is available thanks to Eva Lundblad, a Cadette Girl Scout from Troop 55013, who undertook the effort as her Silver Award Project. Lundblad collaborated with the Early Childhood Outreach Team and Early Childhood PTA to conduct a needs assessment in the community. She found there was not a free resource focused on infants. The closet is now stocked with donations from community members and organizations. To access this resource, visit the White Bear Early Childhood Center at Normandy Park between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday or call 651-653-3100. SUBMITTED

If community members have any nonperishable food items, cleaning supplies or hygiene products that they are able to contribute, they can put the items in a bag or box and place it on their front step or wait for the students to ring the bell.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — The City Council took the following action Oct. 15: • Tabled a request from Holiday Station Stores at 780 Stillwater Road to remove the static image in the sign cabinet and replace it with a Daktronics full-color digital display. The Planning Commission at its Oct. 9 regular meeting voted 4-0 to recommend conditional approval of the requested conditional use permit to allow for an electronic display sign and variance to increase the electronic display signage square footage to 32.2 square feet. There were seven conditions to be met. Councilman Richard Brainerd asked city staff to review the city's signage ordinance in time for a December meeting. • Approved a resolution receiving the feasibility report of the consulting engineer and calling for a public improvement hearing concerning Project Phase 4 West – Historic District Improvements. The project includes parts of the following roadways: Neptune Street, Neptune Alleyway, Oak Street, Tip Top Lane, Pine Street, Quail Street, Rose Street, Park Avenue, Spruce Street and Tamarack Street. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 5 in the amount of $92,300 to T. A. Schifsky and Sons for the Echo Lake Improvement Project. • Approved a programmatic maintenance agreement for storm sewers and structures related to Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) permits. This agreement would be used in the future for all Rule C permits from the RCWD that require a maintenance agreement for storm sewers or structures that are installed by the city. The city would avoid having to process separate agreements for each permit that requires a maintenance agreement. • Approved a request from St. Jude of the Lake Church to hold a gambling activity and sell beer and wine at the Nov. 16 Turkey Bingo event. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 11 in the amount of $25,450 to Kuechle Underground Inc. for Phase 3 – Historic District Improvements and Edgecumbe Drive Storm Drainage Improvements. • Approved a resolution to enter into a grant agreement with the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services for the improvement of publicly owned infrastructure; namely, public sanitary sewer system improvements to reduce inflow and infi ltration. Based on estimated project totals, MCES determined the estimated reimbursement to the city for eligible project expenses to be $35,409. Prior to Nov. 1, 2019, the final project costs and documentation of work will be submitted to MCES to determine the final grant funding. Mahtomedi will be submitting final eligible project expenses totaling $55,200. • Approved a lateral sanitary sewer line assessment agreement for a property owner on Old Wildwood Road. • Heard from two residents living on Edgecumbe Drive at the public forum who cited deer problems and asked council to develop a plan to manage the deer population. Councilman Jeff Ledermann agreed that there were definite deer issues within the city and said he would welcome a conversation about deer issues with the city's commissions. • Presented the 15-Year Service Award to Jeannie Novak. "You came along about the time I did," said Mayor Judson Marshall, as he presented her with a Certificate of Appreciation. “Your job has expanded dramatically in the last couple of years,” he told her, and she agreed. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

Dahlia Street project blooms: New road to fix drainage, speeding issues BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — The only speeding Dahlia Street residents want to see on their street is the haste with which their city moves to get their road fixed. After four years of waiting for Dahlia Street to be fixed, a dozen residents attended the Oct. 15 City Council meeting and public hearing to make sure Mahtomedi's elected officials finally got the project moving. For extra emphasis, the Dahlia Street residents spoke out at the public forum, as well as during the public hearing. Citizen concerns involved speeding through Dahlia Street while it's being used as the primary east-west detour route during road construction on Stillwater Road. For the future, if not immediately, speeding concerns were addressed as council unanimously approved a resolution ordering the 2020 Dahlia Street Public Improvement Project and specifying the roadway width for Dahlia Street. An additional resolution should make future Dahlia Street more difficult to speed along: of two road width options presented, council chose to install a 32-footwide street with two 10-foot travel lanes and an 8-foot parking lane on one side only — the north side. The other option, a 28-foot-wide street with two 12-foot travel lanes and no on-street parking at all, would have created a more open street, seen as more inviting to speeders. The parking lane option will cost $830,000 to construct, whereas the no-parking option would have cost $800,000. The choice of the more expensive option will not result in higher assessments to property owners, City Engineer John Sachi said. At the podium, several Dahlia Street residents said the extra cost of the parking lane option to slow down traffic on their street would be worth it. A third option — where parking would have been allowed on both sides of the street — was not possible,
Ask us about small business insurance. Contact your local State Farm agent. ®
Sachi noted, because Dahlia Street is a Municipal State Aid (MSA) street. MSA streets must allow more fluid passage according to transportation guidelines. As an east-west backbone street, it is a designated thoroughfare, which is why it is a state aid street. Funds for MSA roadways come from state gas taxes, Sachi said. In July 2016, Mahtomedi accepted its first feasibility report to reclaim a two-block section on Dahlia Street between Mahtomedi Avenue and Warner Avenue N. By July 2019, the road and drainage areas had deteriorated to the point that council gave direction for a full reconstruction. Improvements will include water main and service line replacements to properties, some new storm sewer improvements and an easement acquisition on the existing pond. The north side of the road was chosen for parking to minimize sight line obstructions at the intersection of Dahlia Street and Forest Avenue, Sachi said. In addition, the impact on the newly constructed trail crossing can be minimized by eliminating the parking lane through the crossing area. Sources of funding for the project will come from MSA funds, the water utility fund for the water main, and special assessments to property owners. Bid opening should take place in January or February so construction can begin in the spring or summer. The assessment hearing will follow construction completion. And if the schedule of construction doesn't unfold according to plan, expect the residents of Dahlia Street to be back at City Hall. “The big thing is that we'd like to have it happen, for once, and not get the letter saying we have to wait another year,” one of the residents said.
