Area’s groundwater use meets state sustainability standard BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
The new Department of Natural Resources study that shows groundwater use is sustainable within a 5-mile radius of White Bear Lake also indicated that use has contributed to lower water levels. It’s a key finding in the scientific analysis that ran, per court order, in last week’s Press. That finding indicated current groundwater use has contributed to water levels falling below the protective elevation for White Bear Lake set in 2016 by the DNR to protect
recreational uses. District Judge Margaret Marrinan ordered the DNR last year to analyze the cumulative impact of its appropriation permits within the radius to determine whether pumping at the maximum rates allowed meets the state’s sustainability standard, adopted in 2010. She asked that the analysis be completed within one year of her Aug. 30 order and its results be published in a public newspaper. Marrinan’s ruling also required the DNR to impose a variety of conditions on existing water permits in the
area, including a residential irrigation ban if the lake is below 923.5 feet in elevation. A moratorium was placed on that ban by the Legislature until July 2019. The $250,000 state-of-the-science groundwater flow model was developed by DNR staff and an outside consultant to assess the impacts of pumping on the lake and aquifer. Previous models could not make these kinds of assessments. According to the analysis, year-round groundwater pumping was estimated to SEE SUSTAINABILITY, PAGE 9A

Pacifier-powered finish Erick Jacobson, 2, powers through to the finish line after a sudden snow squall erupted in the middle of the Kids Fun Run that was part of the annual Run for the Apples at Pine Tree Apple Orchard Saturday, Oct. 20. It was the first race for the fourth generation member of the Jacobson family — the owners and operators of the orchard. Find more photos on page 1B.
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — It’s official; the township has a new clerk-treasurer. Well, as of Nov. 13, anyway. The White Bear Town Board authorized the hiring of Patrick Christopherson to replace retiring Clerk-Treasurer Bill Short and approved an employment agreement. Christopherson is currently Kanabec County coordinator, a job he’s held for six years. Interviews were conducted with three finalists at Heritage Hall Oct. 1, which were whittled down from 34 applicants: Kevin Kress, Clearwater city administrator, Tobin Lay, city administrator of Birchwood Village, and Christopherson. Supervisors decided to offer it to Christopherson. Town Board Chair Bob Kermes said the process was “very thorough” and “very educational. We are getting an excellent candidate in Patrick Christopherson.” According to an earlier news release, Christopherson has been in his current position as county coordinator/board clerk/personnel director for Kanabec County for six years. Before that, he was the city administrator for Jackson, SEE NEW CLERK, PAGE 9A

Those opposed to downtown bus station launch petition drive A petition is being circulated online to “say No to a park and ride bus hub in old downtown White Bear Lake.” Almost 4,000 people had signed the petition at press time. Started by Kevin Spreng Oct. 14, the petition can be found at change.org. It is addressed to the mayor, council members and Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt. The petition describes the county's plan to build a bus station on Clark Avenue between Second and Third streets across from the library. A two-story parking ramp has also been proposed. “This will destroy the charm and small-town feel of old downtown White Bear Lake,” supporters contend. They also worry that increased traffic
and congestion will present safety and environmental hazards to area residents. The White Bear Lake City Council has ultimate say on where a station might be located. A Rush Line working group had also considered a bus station on Fourth Street and Bloom Avenue and one on the current Post Office site between Banning and Cook Avenues but favored the US Bank/ Clark Avenue location. The Fourth Street station would be across from Cup and Cone on city-owned property that contains the White Bear Bar, the Burger Bar and a parking lot. Council planned to discuss the Rush Line at its Oct. 23 meeting (after press time).
The public can also provide comment at the end of the Policy Advisory Committee meeting Nov. 29 at the Maplewood Community Center, 2100 White Bear Ave. The committee's job is to advise the county Regional Railroad Authority on key elements of the project. They meet 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. White Bear Lake Mayor Jo Emerson is vice chair of the committee and Maplewood Mayor Nora Slawik is chair. The Rush Line Corridor Task Force, chaired by Commissioner Reinhardt, also meets Nov. 29 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Debra Neutkens

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Shout-out Sh t t tto Di District t i t 832 residents id t Some of you have grown up and stayed in the Mahtomedi area, others have moved into the area for a variety of reasons. In either of these circumstances, we can all easily agree that there is significant pride around the level of education provided by Mahtomedi Public Schools. The teachers, supportive staff and wonderful parents and community members that support our children are what really make Mahtomedi Public Schools special. As a fifth-grader at O.H. Anderson, my daughter has the privilege of benefitting from so much of what Mahtomedi Public Schools provide. I can say the same for many others I know, not only those present in the schools but also graduates. The proposed levy is an essential step in maintaining the opportunities provided by our schools, especially as we navigate the tremendous programs offered and the balance of appropriate class sizes. Public education has always been a top priority for our family, as it is for our community. Please vote YES for Mahtomedi Public Schools. Let's continue to show the rest of Minnesota that investing in education remains a top priority in our community. Our current and future students are counting on us. Kevin Hiniker Dellwood
Support three incumbent school board members I am writing today in support of the three incumbent Mahtomedi School Board members running for re-election: Mike Chevalier, Kevin Donovan and Julie McGraw. As a lifelong member of the community I appreciate the dedication, passion and commitment that these three members have shown to both the school district and the community. An exceptional and thriving school district is vitally important to a successful community and that is exactly what these three current board members have provided for Mahtomedi. Through the leadership, experience, knowledge and dedication of these three members our school district is one of the most prestigious and sought-after school districts in the state. When I talk to others from around the state and I say that I am from Mahtomedi, usually the first thing that they say in response is something to the effect of, “Great school district.” One of the many reasons that I am proud to be from Mahtomedi is because of our top school district and the hard work that Mr. Chevalier, Mr. Donovan and Ms. McGraw have put in to help make it so. We as a community would be foolish not to re-elect all three incumbent members. I pledge my full support for Mike Chevalier, Kevin Donovan and Julie McGraw and ask you to do the same on Nov. 6. Alex Rogosheske Mahtomedi
We are blessed to have quality candidates We hear a great deal about “those politicians” — uttered as though politics were a dirty word. However, when I look at the quality of political leaders we have on the White Bear Lake area ballot this midterm election, I am humbled, deeply grateful, and optimistic! As a proud, longtime White Bear Lake resident, I am honored that I had the privilege of early-voting for one of White Bear’s very own, Ami Wazlawik, an inspiring, hardworking and thoughtful candidate for the 38B Minnesota House of Representatives seat. Ami shares the DFL ballot slots with candidates like Amy Klobuchar, Betty McCollum and Tim Walz, “politicians” who continue to uplift us with their positive, work-across-theaisle, solution-seeking policies. They don’t treat the other major party as the enemy, but rather seek out reasonable colleagues regardless of party to find common ground. Their goal is not to blame the other party, but rather to make life better for all their constituents. Ami Wazlawik joins these phenomenal public servants in supporting strong, practical, bipartisan strategies in areas that affect our daily lives and impact our future. As an educator, she supports research-based policies such as strong early childhood programs, accessible post-second-
d ti and d tuition/college t iti / ll d bt relief, li f expanded d d ary education debt vocational-technical lifelong education options, solid family support, available mental health assistance and safer schools — including common-sense legislation for gun safety. In recent week after tireless week of door-knocking in our community, immersing herself in the concerns of her constituency, Ami has been reinforced in her policy directions for safeguarding our environment, advocating for justice, and ensuring we all have access to quality, affordable health care. Policy matters, midterm elections matter and your vote matters, this time perhaps more than in any election in recent history. Please consider voting for Ami Wazlawik, for her DFL ballot colleagues, and for policies that will make your lives better and more sustainable. You can be proud of these “politicians.” I’m proud to have my children and grandchildren observe them as heroes and worthy role models. Trudi Taylor White Bear Lake
Candidate has public service experience When you look at experience, one candidate stands out this election year. Patti Anderson has the public service and business experience to strongly represent the interests of those who reside in Minnesota House District 38B. Patti Anderson’s public service experience is impressive. She spent 16 years as an elected official serving the public. Her public service resume includes city council member, mayor, Minnesota Commissioner of Employee Relations, and State Auditor. With this experience, Patti knows how to effectively operate within the legislative body to protect the interests of those she would serve in House District 38B. Her determination and drive will facilitate this process. Patti Anderson’s business experience is impressive as well. She is a longtime small-business owner, having owned two successful businesses. As a member of the White Bear Chamber, Patti Anderson understands firsthand the importance of small businesses in White Bear. She also recognizes the logistics of a successful business model and will bring a strong fiscally responsible perspective to the Minnesota House. With her years of public service in both the local and state government, as well as her years of running two successful businesses, Patti Anderson has the experience needed to successfully represent the White Bear Lake area at the Capitol. My vote is for Patti Anderson, the candidate with public service and experience. James Vincent White Bear Lake
ti d in i the th article. ti l Hi t di t mentioned His message iis contradictory when he pushes for smaller government, as if all we do when we cut taxes and budgets is force some mythically large population of freeloaders off public assistance, and then suggest we magically improve education, health and human services and infrastructure. I find that those who complain of too much government often are the ones advocating for cuts in these same areas. Another thing Mr. Johnson and I do agree on is that we should all exercise our right to vote. So go vote. Kaari Rodriguez White Bear Township
Re-elect Judge Millenacker Judicial elections are important and registered voters have a responsibility to educate themselves about the candidates. One incumbent judge who stands out and should be re-elected is Judge Robyn Millenacker. Judge Millenacker’s credentials include: Minnesota native, graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School, former federal prosecutor, over 30 years of experience as a lawyer, demonstrated competence and fairness in the courtroom, plus she is involved in our community. They don’t come any better than this. Judge Robyn Millenacker should be re-elected to the Ramsey County District Court. Sue Mehrkens Vadnais Heights
Supporting Senator Smith Sen. Tina Smith is not a splashy, bombastic sort; she’s a productive person who listens well, and then rolls up her sleeves to get the job done. Sen. Smith has been notably productive in the U.S. Senate since she took office last January. For example, the bipartisan Farm Bill contains several measures Smith authored and championed, including the expansion of broadband in rural communities, measures to help younger and nontraditional farmers get started in farming, and measures to address rural health needs. She has also authored legislation to improve career and technical education to help Minnesotans looking for high-skill, in-demand jobs find a good fit with Minnesota companies.

Less government preference contradictory In Gene Johnson's column Oct. 10, Mr. Johnson appears to contradict himself. He identifies a few challenges we face in Minnesota and as a nation: more jobs than available applicants due in part to lack of training and education, lack of facilities and trained staff to address mental illness, the need for more care for those who can’t live independently, growing college costs and deteriorating infrastructure. I agree, these are all issues that we, as community, should address. He also states that he prefers “less government. If people can work, they should.” The implication is that more government means wasted welfare. Yet, all the issues he named in the column are precisely the types of issues governments exist to address. If we, as Minnesotans or Americans, decide we want a safe transportation system, a well-trained workforce and dignified care for those with mental illness or disabilities, how do we come together to accomplish that? I believe the process of deciding what matters, which shared responsibilities we as citizens want to take on, deciding how to pay for it and how to implement it is called democracy and government. If we all agree we need better education, we all decide (via the democratic process) how much we want to invest and then we implement the plan. Collecting the money (taxes), overseeing its use (state and local government) and providing the education (public schools) are all part of the too-large government he likes to bemoan. The same applies to any other common good

Enjoying grocery choices
T
HE TWIN CITIES has always been a competitive market for the grocery business and it appears to be heating up again. Just recently the Lunds&Byerlys opened on Centerville Road in White Bear Lake. This new store features a large deli and food buffet, along with comfortable dining tables and a wine bar. Kowalski’s, an attractive grocery store overlooking White Bear Lake, has upgraded their deli and added a greater selection of pastas. Then there is the Cub Foods in the south part of White Bear Lake, along with Festival and Aldi’s. Shoreview has a Kowalski’s, along with Fresh & Natural Foods, and Vadnais Heights has Fresh Thyme, as well as About the Target and Walmart with groceries. In the near future there will be a Town Hy-Vee convenience store at County Gene Johnson Road E and Highway 61. There are lots of choices to keep grocery shoppers right in the area and attract new customers from a distance away. HAVE YOU EVER felt like a sardine flying coach these days? Well, the Federal Aviation Administration is going to mandate seat size and space. In the last several years, flying has been less enjoyable and the airlines have been charging every way possible to add to their bottom line. Perhaps in the near future it will be easier and less expensive to ship luggage via UPS or FedEx in lieu of the airline baggage service. PLAN AHEAD BY saving now and here’s the reason. One of our insurance companies reported 52 percent of households are at risk of not maintaining their living standards in retirement. They also referenced 21 percent of the people who enter nursing homes will need care for five years or more. The national average rates for a private room in a nursing home are $92,378 annually. The average healthy 65-year-old couple is projected to spend $288,400 in health care costs. We have pension plans that are disappearing from companies and we also have those which aren’t adequately funded. Our population is aging and people are living longer. According to the 2017 Social Security Administration estimates, about one in four 65 year olds will live past age 90. SHORTER DAYS, DECLINE in temperatures and autumn colors of foliage are all part of seasonal change. Hunters and their dogs get excited this time of year. Farmers are busy harvesting. Home builders are anxiously enclosing their structures. Utility people are doing everything they can before the ground freezes. Docks are being pulled and watercraft winterized. Changing seasons are what Minnesotans live for. LAST MONTH KATHY and I traveled to Arizona to celebrate the life of my oldest biological brother, Command Sergeant Major Larry Dahle, who died at the age of 93. He spent his career in the Army with the Big Red One. He served in World War II, the Korean Conflict and twice in Vietnam. His memorial included military people, family and friends. We are now awaiting the date for his memorial service with full honors at Arlington National Cemetery. I am thankful for people like my brother who have given their life to preserve and protect the freedoms we enjoy every day in this country. No mission too difficult, no sacrifice too great, duty first. THIS TIME OF year the Press newspapers launch their semi-annual subscription campaign.

The problem with single payer health insurance
M
ake a list of your least trusted professions. If you’re like most people, politicians and lobbyists probably appeared somewhere on your list. Next, a question: How would your iPhone perform if only the government was authorized to design and manufacture them? One more question: If you don’t trust politicians or Legislator lobbyists, and government monopoLingo lies rarely work as well as the private Roger sector, then why Chamberlain would you want to turn over something as important as health care to government bureaucracy? We all desire access to quality, affordable health care. When we are in pain we want the pain to go away. We want a quick fix, and we want the convenience of visiting our doctor at the neighborhood clinic. We want miracle drugs and miracle cures. We are blessed to live in a time and country where much of this is possible. But if Minnesotans are forced into a single payer health care system – or government-managed care – that will disappear. First, to be clear, single payer health insurance is government managing your health care. If the
government is paying, they will be making the decisions – decisions about who gets care, who gives care, or what, when, where and how that care is delivered. Single payer means politicians, political appointees, and government agencies will make those decisions for you. Second, the cost of single payer is astronomical. A study by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University estimated a federal single payer plan would require at least a doubling of current income tax collections. Another study conducted by the Lewen Group specifically for Minnesota estimated the cost at $35 billion per year. For comparison, our $46 billion two-year budget would have to double overnight just to cover it. How do you think this would impact your tax bill? Thirty nine percent of hospitals are already losing money. Some are closing down or at risk of closing down. That’s why the Minnesota Hospital Association warned that single payer would even further “jeopardize” their financial footing. Third, quality, research and innovation would virtually disappear under a single payer model. The incentive and cost-benefit for such research would end. Minnesota is one of the national leaders in medical research. How could that continue under the crushing burden of government constraints? Why would people pursue careers in health care if they are restricted in how they are to treat patients?
So I ask again, given what we know about government efficiency, and given that you don’t trust politicians and lobbyists, why would you want to turn over an incredibly important and personal decision like health care to a government-run bureaucratic monopoly? Before MNsure, more than 90 percent of Minnesotans were insured. It was not perfect. But rather than focus on the problem of lowering costs and getting the last 10 percent covered, the entire system was thrown into chaos and almost collapsed. In 2017, the Legislature passed reforms that helped stabilize the insurance market and reduce premium rate increases. This is not the end solution but we are moving in the right direction. This is not a choice between single payer, government-managed health care or nothing. We need a mix of both: a competitive free market, where people have the power to control their own health care decisions, combined with massive regulatory reforms and a government plan to take care of those with preexisting conditions. Liberating and empowering people, not government, will dramatically improve outcomes and ensure our amazing health care system continues to flourish for decades to come. We have been blessed with a great gift, let’s not throw it away. Roger Chamberlain represents District 38 in the Minnesota Senate.

dents can access mental health services in schools, and to allow Medicare to negotiate directly with drug companies to bring down prescription costs. She has pressed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect military families from being ripped off by shady lenders. In her first month as senator, Smith co-sponsored legislation calling for a constitutional amendment to reverse Citizens United. Recently, Smith co-authored legislation to significantly improve our nation’s efforts to store energy and jumpstart energy storage research and technologies. This would not only expand the use of renewables like wind and solar energy, but would contribute to our nation’s energy and economic security and keep energy money and jobs in Minnesota. Let’s keep Tina Smith working for us in the U.S. Senate. Louis Asher Vadnais Heights
DFL candidate will support teachers' labor union I appeal to every teacher in the Education Minnesota labor union. Together we have bargained for the pay, benefits, working conditions and rights that form the foundation that makes teaching such a wonderful profession. The next governor of Minnesota will decide the fate of this agreement. Over the past several years, our state Legislature has attempted to pass “right to work” legislation, bills prohibiting payroll deduction of union dues, bills intended to limit the scope of our collective bargaining and an “academic balance” bill that would have limited our freedom to discuss certain topics in our classrooms. Fortunately, we had a governor in office who vetoed them all. (Thank you, Mark Dayton.) If Jeff Johnson is elected, those same legislations will undoubtedly be reintroduced and passed into law. He has already stated publicly that, if elected, he would “go all Scott Walker on Minnesota.” He would work to limit and, ultimately, end our teachers’ union. This past summer the Supreme Court passed a law (the Janus case) allowing teachers to enjoy the rights and benefits of our contract without paying the dues which enable our union to exist. That’s right, the law now stipulates that they need not pay to be a member of the labor union that negotiates and protects their rights as teachers. This is a significant effort toward weakening our union, and passage of these other laws would be the end of it. In the 2014 midterm election, 38 percent of Education Minnesota members did not vote: that is you and me and that is 33,000 votes. I do not pretend that every teacher in Minnesota is a Democrat or agrees with every issue in the party. I am a registered Republican, but I will not be voting for a governor or any legislator who will work to undermine the labor union that supports my work in the classroom and makes my middle-class lifestyle possible. Teachers, please join me in voting for Tim Walz. Steve Odmark White Bear Township
schools. I am especially impressed with Ami’s dedication to seeking quality early education programming for our little ones and making sure college is both accessible and affordable for our “big” ones. And, I am confident that Ami is running for office serve the people in District 38B and not to pursue just another job in politics. Please join me on Nov. 6 and vote for Ami Wazlawik for state representative. Janet Newberg White Bear Lake
Community will continue to have voice with Anderson It has been an honor to represent the good people of our community as your state representative since 2005. In that time, I have been humbled by the strong participation and leadership of our neighbors. We vote, we volunteer, we learn about and advocate for each other, independent of our political stripe. Past legislators like Carol McFarlane, Doug Meslow, Harry Mares and Tom Newcome set a tradition of independence. When I decided not to run this year, I was happy to have Patti Anderson step up. She brings a wealth of experience as a business owner, former commissioner, Minnesota state auditor and mayor. Patti will listen, learn and lead. She will put local constituents ahead of party politics and will not put up with foolishness from either caucus. Minnesota needs strong leaders to stand up for families and common-sense solutions. I've seen the influence of suburban legislators lose out recently to heavily financed urban special-interest political groups who put a radical social agenda ahead of practical problem-solving in our schools and on our roads. Patty is tough as nails and will fight for a fairer shake for suburban families. Lastly, she will continue my highest priority — to advocate for the most vulnerable Minnesotans. I hope you will join me in voting for Patti. Rep. Matt Dean Dellwood
Let’s not lose what we have today only to regret it tomorrow
Candidate wants to serve people in District 38B
If you’re like me, you may not fully appreciate something until that something is gone and, most regrettably, lost. If the Mahtomedi Schools operating levy does not pass on Nov. 6, we will certainly lose a whole lot of “something.” We are currently experiencing the impacts of the recent school board budget cuts of $1.1 million. The increased class sizes and reduction in educational programs were forced upon our kids by the Legislature’s inability to provide adequate funding for our schools. The general education funding formula is the core of school district finances. The Minnesota Constitution requires that the Legislature provide funding to “secure a thorough and efficient system of public schools throughout the state.” For 12 of the past 14 years, the Legislature has not done that, as increases to the state’s general funding formula have been less than inflation. We are now faced with having to raise more funding locally or face millions of dollars of further and deeper budget cuts over the next several years — ones that will surely further impact our kids. Here is what we risk losing:
When I assess candidates and prepare to vote in elections, I tend to discount those candidates who flit from elected post to elected post and instead value candidates with deep roots in and a deep dedication to serving members of my community. That’s why I support Ami Wazlawik for state representative in our legislative district.

• Gone may be manageable class sizes essential to healthy learning environments; • Gone may be vital programming for a balanced education such as Spanish, French, home economics, media and fine arts, to name a few; • Gone may be activities such as physical education and athletic programs; • Gone may be the opportunity to make our schools safer from people looking to do harm to our children; • Gone may be the foundation for strong property values; • Gone may be crucial cash flow reserves to meet payroll; • Gone may be the ability to continue
closing the achievement gap; • Gone may be professional development opportunities critical to our educators; • Gone may be the ability to prepare our kids for today’s world after high school; • Gone may be the competitive edge we enjoy in preparing our kids for college Let’s not let anything be lost on our kids and lose what we have the ability to save.

Education domain not exclusive Headline Oct. 10: “Minnesota replaces No Child Left Behind with North Star Program.” Replace! Really? George Bush’s administration attempted to highlight deficiencies in school achievement and so No Child Left Behind (NCLB) was initiated. Along comes Barack Obama and decides he wants to put his name on a piece of education legislation and so Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is enacted to replace NCLB. Minnesota wants to get in on the action and so North Star Program was started … I assume it would be NSP. Wait a minute. We need a moniker for World’s Best Work Force so WBWF was born. Educators and politicians need to get off their “high horse” and acknowledge that highlighting the need for improving education has been going on for a long time and to completely dismiss NCLB is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Improve, amend, upgrade, sensitivity, inclusion, accountability, equity … are all words meaning that we are constantly changing and adapting and learning. ESSA, NSP, WBWF does not “replace” NCLB, it is merely adapting to changing times. Bush…bad! Obama…good! Education is not the exclusive domain of one particular political party. For those who think this way, I have an acronym for them: biased sycophancy … (BS). David E. Wolff, DDS White Bear Township
For all undecided or uncertain voters I am writing this letter to stress the importance of this midterm election. The information I have compiled has come from many sources: televised and broadcast governor and attorney general debates, articles in both daily newspapers, documentaries, the candidates themselves. My goal: to possibly help you make the right decision. The DFL party is not the DFL of JFK, farmers or the working man anymore. Many candidates and supporters in the DFL have now coined the name DSA, or Democratic Socialists of America. Look up the differences (very small ones) between socialist and communistic beliefs and ideologies. Not much difference at all. Elected representatives currently are unrecognizable from the more moderate DFL’ers of the past. The current senators from Minnesota have proven that they are ready to be vicious and mean spirited; the louder and more violent, the better they feel. The candidates for governor and attorney general have repeatedly evaded and avoided point-blank questions from their GOP opponents regarding their real viewpoints on single payer health care for this state (aka Obamacare, MNsure, one insurer for everyone), which would drive up premiums. There would be no personal choices for other doctors, facilities or treatments other than those run by the one insurer. As for having a sanctuary state, checking backgrounds, prior records, and proof of legitimate residents living in our state would vanish. There would be anarchy, chaos and violence without any law enforcement having authority to arrest or prosecute uncontrolled, undocumented immigrants who flood into our state's open borders unhindered and unchecked. This is what the DFL candidates all propose to do. Legally becoming a U.S. citizen has been part of our country's successful past for the last 150-plus years. Look at
what's happened in California, what is now happening in Washington and Oregon. Has it worked there? Violence and crime rates have steeply increased in those sanctuary states. Do we really want that for Minnesota? I urge you to look at the beliefs, agendas and past personal histories of the two parties’ candidates. It's not enough anymore to vote an old "habit," the ideals of a distant past, a more moderate DFL party. Look at what's really happened to the morals, views and decency in the way the DFL/DSA has now moved. It is most definitely food for thought. Laurie Carlson White Bear Township
No place for negative political ads I have watched the attack ads against Ami Wazlawik on MSNBC for the past couple of weeks. She is a candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives from District 38B. I am saddened and appalled by the ugliness, nastiness and gross inaccuracies of these advertisements. The one I saw this morning is paid for by the Minnesota Republican Campaign Committee (MRCC) and is bigger and uglier than ones before. I was able to jot down MRCC as it quickly flashed on and off the screen at the end. Not easy to see. It has been said in defense of this negative form of political advertisement that all is fair in love, war and politics. I disagree. Our democracy was founded on the exact opposite. Looking for what is best in ourselves and trying to achieve fairness for all is what keeps our country alive and healthy: to aim high, not low. These lowest common denominator ads from either party have no place in our elections, especially our local ones. Few local candidates can afford to mount TV ads, so they must come, according to campaign law, unsolicited from outside our district. Do we want them? Is this a good way to win? Do they really help the candidate they are trying to promote? Delve into your better selves and decide. These ads have been repeated because Ami did very well at the Local League of Women Voters debate recently. She was strong on substance and knowledge of the issues that concern our local citizens, thanks in part to the Issues Board she had mounted outside her table while campaigning during Marketfest last summer. The public was asked what issues were important to them in the upcoming election. They wrote them on Post-its and stuck them on the board. Ami has been responding to these since. She has lived most of her life in White Bear Lake and works for its schools. If you want to know what Ami really thinks and learn more of her background, go to her website.

Informed voters understand why we need levy Over the past several months, I’ve met with community members about our district’s budget challenges and the operating levy request that is on the Nov. 6 ballot. Our district team has been transparent about how class sizes are approaching 40 at the high school, how we are unable to offer the traditional wraparound middle school model of support for sixth- and seventh-grade students, how we hope to add career and technical education classes and enhance gifted and talented programming, and how our buildings need safety enhancements. One concrete takeaway from these conversations is that when presented with factual information about our district’s budget situation and the inadequacy of state funding, voters understand why we are asking for a levy. We have sought out every opportunity to speak with voters and provide factual information about our budget and levy, which is why I was disappointed to read Mr. Baumann’s letter SEE LETTERS, PAGE 7A

that implied we were not being forthcoming about open enrollment. Our projected open enrollment percentage for the 201819 school year is approximately 26.9 percent. We strive to balance opportunities for academic excellence, class size guidelines, and our desire and value to remain a small school district with our open enrollment practices. We can’t and don’t accept all open enrollment applications. Open enrollment is state law; our district follows the law and uses it as one tool to run our district in a financially responsible way. Also important is that all of us benefit from the collaborative relationships, academic opportunities, and countless hours of volunteering, energy, and support our open-enrolled families bring to our district. I’ve valued the opportunities to engage with members of the community around our levy request, and the passion and perspective each has shared. Not everyone agrees on the solutions to adequately fund our schools, but it’s clear we do agree that we must continue to build programs to prepare each child to create their own successful path. I’m thankful to be part of such an engaged community, and I look forward to continuing to come together to champion success for all of our children. Barb Duffrin Superintendent, Mahtomedi Public Schools
Vote Yes for 832 My wife and I moved to this area 47 years ago with no thought of checking on the school system. We were young and had no children. As our children entered the school system, we discovered firsthand why District 832 is rated among the top schools in Minnesota. Our girls were very well prepared for their educational pursuits beyond high school. We quickly became involved in all of the bond issues because we believe as the slogan says, “stronger schools, stronger communities.” It is our privilege to have a direct effect on our schools and community through this vote. We are beyond the years of having children in school; however, we believe in “paying it forward” as others did before us. We believe new Superintendent Barb Duffrin, Director of Business Services Bill Menozzi and our elected school board do due diligence and are good stewards of the school budget. We see a bright future with

these leaders in the administration. Keeping our schools at a very high level improves the community and has a strong influence on property values. We have had people from outside the area ask if we know of any properties available in the district because they or their children are looking for a great school system such as ours. Please join us in voting yes in favor of the school levy on November 6. Boni and Jim Westberg Willernie
Our community deserves integrity Last week’s letters to the editor included three from residents expressing dismay about the onslaught of negative campaign ads from outside special interest groups. The ads attempt to scare voters away from Ami Wazlawik, candidate for the Minnesota state legislative seat representing the White Bear Lake/Hugo/Dellwood/ North Oaks area. We have also seen and received these outside ugly and unwarranted ads in our mail. We appreciate those who wrote to reject them as contrary to our community’s sensibilities. Our dismay turned to anger when we reached page 3B of the same issue of the Press and saw that Ami’s opponent is now using the same tactics in her own paid campaign ad. The ad states that Ami Wazlawik was “one of only a handful of legislators” endorsed by an advocacy group. Amy is not, and never has been, a legislator — at least, not yet. As a candidate for public office, Patti Anderson is subject to the laws regarding fair campaign practices. Anderson’s ad surely violates these practices and brings to our community the same crude politics employed by the outside interest groups. Ami Wazlawik is a homegrown candidate who shares our community values and is running a campaign based on integrity — let’s elect her to represent us at the Capitol.

Street improvements and mayoral race Vadnais Heights is a great place to live and work. It is also a city that needs to improve its streets and infrastructure. Many streets/curbing in residential areas have been crumbling for years and need to be repaired or rebuilt. Water from residential sump pumps, which is allowed to discharge onto neighborhood streets, is another problem. The resulting stagnant water deteriorates curbing and affects property values. Maintenance of road medians, also the responsibility of the city, has been neglected for years. (A comparison between maintenance of the Shoreview and White Bear Lake medians along Hwy 96 versus those in Vadnais Heights illustrates the point.) Vadnais Heights needs to maintain or rebuild 1.2 miles of streets per year. A review and understanding of the public works budget should be a priority of any candidate running for mayor and city council. What is the budget for public works, and where is the money going? The
city needs leaders who will not simply rubber-stamp recommendations by staff, but have the vision, skills and ability to be independent decision-makers as leaders of a great city. When deciding who to vote for this fall, ask the candidates for mayor and council what their position is regarding infrastructure improvements and what their plan is to maintain or rebuild streets in our community. I had the opportunity to talk with mayoral candidate Heidi Gunderson recently. Gunderson is a long-term resident of Vadnais Heights and business owner. She is a local leader who recognizes the need to have a plan to improve aging and worn infrastructure. She has earned my trust and my vote to be the next mayor of Vadnais Heights.

We can restore support for education Mahtomedi has a longstanding tradition of supporting education, children and community engagement. In the 45-plus years that I have lived and worked in Mahtomedi, I have seen this tradition demonstrated time and time again. We owe it to our children to pass on the legacy that has provided so many with an excellent education. We owe it to our children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews and all those students with no relation to us that have chosen this special place to go to school. My grandson, a graduate of Mahtomedi High School who is currently enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said the single most important thing that impacted his schooling was small class sizes. The attention he received due to the ratio of teachers and staff to students was so beneficial to him. Small class sizes allow our students the best support to learn and succeed. Our school district has made $1.6 million in budget adjustments for the 2018-19 school year and class sizes have been impacted. I have witnessed the impact because I have three grandchildren at the middle school and high school level, and they have 35 to 37 students in their math classes. I am aware that other high school classes are approaching 40 students. At the middle school, because of budget adjustments and increased class sizes, the district is unable to offer the team model in sixth- and seventh-grade that allows wraparound support, which is critical for middle school-aged students. Class sizes at Wildwood and O.H. Anderson Elementary Schools were able to be kept down because a principal was not hired at Wildwood and instead, two administrators are helping with the position. This has to change. Class sizes will get worse if this levy does not pass. If the levy passes, class sizes are among the district’s top priorities. We can restore the important support we want to give our students. Please join me in supporting the levy on the ballot for District 832 Mahtomedi Public Schools.

Loon Chronicles III: Fishing buddies “Another wild week of wind and waves. The sun, fortunately, made all the difference during our freezing cold trips out in the boat. This was a great week for spotting new migratory birds en route to warmer climes. We spotted many of these visitors, including Buffleheads, Common and Hooded Mergansers, Horned Grebes, and, to our delight, a few Redheads, blending in with the enormous Coot flocks on the outer edges of the War Zone. Again, safety in numbers. We feel sorry for the Coots who spend all of their time in their ever expanding flocks, only to go nuts with the slightest disturbance. The Sea Gull flocks are getting smaller with each passing day. A new pair of juvenile Loons arrived earlier in the week. Their coloring and bills are slightly different than the other Loons we have been following. Both were in serious fishing mode as they bulk up for migration. What really made the week for us were the patches of brilliant fall colors around the lake. This has been a weather challenged fall, so we will take what we can get.”

Minnesota, from 2010 to 2012. His experience also includes 10 years as executive director/administrator of the Lutsen Tofte Schroeder Townships in northern Minnesota. He and his wife Kristen have two young daughters, Sinead and Aine, and live in Ham Lake. There will be no need to relocate, Christopherson said, and he looks forward to the shorter commute. “I've been missing a lot of time with the family because of the distance to Mora, so the township was a great opportunity,” he added. Christopherson holds a bachelor of arts in political science from the University of Minnesota, Duluth, and an MA in political science/diplomacy from Norwich University, Northfield, Vermont. His salary will be $123,500 annually, plus an annual car allowance of $4,000. He’ll be credited with 10 years of completed service and start with 56 hours of flex leave.

SUSTAINABILITY: Groundwater flow model provides valuable tool FROM PAGE 1A
have a maximum effect on the lake of about 3 feet during dry weather. The surface of White Bear Lake has varied by as much as 8 feet since 1906, including an all-time low of 918.8 feet five years ago. DNR officials say the rise and fall of the lake is normal and natural. “The levels are sustainable,” noted Assistant DNR Commissioner Barb Naramore, who added the analysis will provide a valuable tool when working with local municipalities “to make sure the waters in and around White Bear Lake continue to provide their many benefits to the people who live and do business there, now and into the future.” Greg McNeely, chairman of the White Bear Lake Restoration Association whose lawsuit against the DNR resulted in the court order, feels the agency’s conclusions are nothing new. “Their findings are no more than a continuation of arguments they presented in court, which were rejected,” he said. “The studies and evidence brought forward by experts, including the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey), were overwhelming. The lake is not sustainable. Unfortunately, the DNR’s ‘do nothing’ policy has prevailed. The judge told the DNR they
were ‘asleep at the wheel.’ I’m glad I’m not riding in whatever they’re driving.” Jim Markoe, president of the lake homeowners association, an intervenor in the case on the side of the restoration association, commented, “Finally, the DNR has acknowledged groundwater pumping is impacting White Bear Lake. “I also take issue with one specific thing in the summary: the period between 2003 to 2013 was a period of average or above-average precipitation,” Markoe said. “There was one dry year in the entire decade, yet the lake reached an all-time record low. That is why this whole thing has become a cause for those of us who care deeply about the lake. There was more rain than average, yet the lake went down and down and down.” The DNR assistant commissioner said the effect of groundwater pumping on the level of White Bear Lake is something they’ve acknowledged in the trial all along. “Where we differ is this question of whether existing patterns of groundwater use meet the state sustainability standard,” Naramore said. “When we used the new flow model to do this more sophisticated analysis, we continued to conclude that it meets the standard. Obviously, we arrive at a different conclusion than the judge did in the case. The data is
consistent with our analysis and legal interpretations throughout the trial.” The model gives the agency enhanced understanding of how pumping influences lake levels, Naramore added. “It allows us to look at recreational implications and to work with permit holders going forward to see what modifications we can work on collaboratively to reduce impacts to recreation.” On a positive note, McNeely said he was encouraged by the last sentence in the three-page analysis: The part where the DNR said it has initiated discussions with affected community water suppliers regarding the findings. “The DNR intends to explore conservation options and alternative water sources that can help ensure the lake remains a ‘prized recreational asset,’” McNeely noted. “If they’re serious about researching alternative water sources, we won’t lose the lake when it stops raining.” The court-ordered analysis is not relevant in terms of the ongoing litigation between the DNR and the restoration association. The case is pending before the state Court of Appeals and can’t be altered at this point. A ruling is not expected until the first half of 2019.

children, for our community and for our future on Nov. 6. Carol Heinsch Mahtomedi
Wazlawik — for our community Until recently, the White Bear Lake Area had a long history of electing individuals that brought a moderate and balanced political philosophy focused on implementing common-sense policy. The leadership illustrated by past leaders such as Carol McFarlane and Doug Meslow centered on staying connected to the community they served and working across the political aisle without hesitation. At the time, Carol and Doug earned my support not because of their party affiliation (which is Republican), but because they were the best candidates for our community. On Nov. 6, we have an opportunity to re-establish the tradition of selecting a more moderate political representative by electing Ami Wazlawik. As in the past, this year Ami has earned my support not because of her party affiliation (which is Democrat) but because she is the best candidate for our community. Please join me in voting for Ami for state representative. Chris Hiniker White Bear Township
Commitment to invest in our kids When school districts across the state go to Minnesota voters with operating referendum requests, we do not take this responsibility lightly. On May 24, 2018, the Mahtomedi School Board approved the resolution to place the request to revoke our operating levy and replace it with a conservative tiered approach on the election ballot for November 6, 2018. The decision to adopt this resolution was made after considering the $1.6 million in budget adjustments that were made for the 2018-19 school year, surveying our community members about their priorities and willingness to support the request and, finally, evaluating the needs and improvements the Mahtomedi School District has when it comes to class size, academic programming, school safety and financial stability with budget reserves. The state is not meeting its obligation to fund Minnesota school districts, and this is the driving force behind our operating levy request. Mahtomedi receives and spends $1,200 less per student than other districts in the seven-county metro area. We spend 83.5 percent of our general fund expenditures on student-based needs, and we are consistently recognized on
the local, state and national levels for academic achievement. However, state funding doesn’t support the actual costs of educating children in Minnesota and we will be forced to do more budget cuts and increase class sizes if our levy doesn’t pass. I believe a successful school district is part of a successful community. Our district is incredibly grateful for the countless ways our community partners with and supports our school community. I believe this tiered levy approach is a more fiscally responsible levy request because the impact is split into three smaller tax impacts over 10 years and corresponds to incremental district costs. I am proud of our community and our school district. I look forward to our continued commitment to work together to invest in our kids. For more information about the levy request, please visit the district’s web page: www.mahtomedi.k12.mn.us Judy Schwartz Chair, Mahtomedi School Board Grant
Support solar garden in Grant Please join us in supporting the proposed solar garden in Grant. (“Solar garden proposal taking heat in Grant,”
Oct. 10). As 40-year residents of Grant, we very much enjoy and believe in keeping the rural aspects. However, we believe a solar garden is in line with agriculture; it will preserve the land and provide a pollinator-friendly habitat. With the huge increase of severe storms, it is becoming more and more evident that climate change is happening faster than predicted even five years ago. As communities, it is our responsibility to do everything we can to increase the use of clean energy. Cynthia and Al Hammel Grant
Candidate focuses on policy, not gutter politics Last week three letters to the editor expressed concern about the negative ads targeting state House candidate Ami Wazlawik, and one of the writers identified their source as the Minnesota Jobs Coalition and the Coalition of Minnesota Businesses. The authors wondered whether these ads represented the views of Ami's opponent, Patti Anderson. That question was answered in the same issue of the paper in Ms. Anderson's paid ad on page 3B.

LOOKING BACK Week of October 21 – October 27, 2018 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1918 Those who answered the call to help to relieve the fire sufferers last Sunday week were too much absorbed in the strenuous work of first aid to the refugees to send home any reports of the disaster; and it is only as the workers come straggling back to White Bear, exhausted but happy that they have been able to be of service, that the extent of the work accomplished by persons from our village becomes apparent. 1943 White Bear Lake [sic] and Mounds View townships elected assistant chief junior sheriffs Friday afternoon to complete the junior sheriff elections in Ramsey county. New Canada and Rose township students elected their representatives Thursday. Dorother Greengard was chosen White Bear assistant chief while Gladys Stienke will represent Mounds View township. Within a month, at a county-wide junior sheriff meeting, the county chief will be picked from these four assistants. 1968 MEA days are almost here again. That means that the Lincoln PTA movie days are here, too – October 24 and 25. This year Lincoln PTA is sponsoring a series of cartoon films including “The

The dirt is contaminated from leaking

The dirt is expected to be moved to land on Benson’s Air Field in White Bear Township for “land spreading,” which is a way to clean moderately contaminated soil.

sentations of Ms. Wazlawik's positions borrows language from those special-interest ads. Ami has focused entirely on policy in her campaign and has refused to engage in the gutter politics that Ms. Anderson seems to have embraced. Ami has argued forcefully for careful and incremental improvements to our health care system and not a "radical government takeover.” Similarly, she has advocated for strict government accountability, including careful consideration of a fair and equitable tax policy. She has not had occasion to take a position of taxability of Social Security income because she has not (yet)
been elected to the Legislature. Hopefully, that will soon change. I am proud to be one of Ami’s supporters. I have already cast my absentee ballot for her and urge my fellow residents of House District 38B to do the same. Vern Ellingstad White Bear Lake
Important decisions to make on Election Day Voters have many decisions to make before we cast our ballots on Nov. 6. One of those important decisions is to select a local representative for Minnesota Legislative District 38B. We need a representative to ably serve our district
and the state of Minnesota. I believe that Patti Anderson is the candidate with the best experience and expertise to provide that service. Patti recognizes the needs to improve existing services where necessary and to provide new services where needed. Patti also knows that we have limited resources and funds that must be carefully managed to meet those needs. As a successful small-business owner, Patti has shown how to bring good-paying jobs into our communities. She knows that fair tax policies will support job growth in our communities and provide revenue to pay for needed public programs. Her experience as Minnesota State Auditor will help to reduce unnecessary expenditures and to design
legislation that is cost-effective and responsible. Patti is working for your vote so that she can work for you to provide quality and affordable health care, schools of excellence and recognition of our veterans, and to continue to assure a high quality of life for our senior citizens. I endorse candidate Patti Anderson and I ask that you vote with me this fall for her election to represent Minnesota Legislative District 38B. Robert Kermes White Bear Township

F
or most of us, checkups are a regular part of life. Dental visits, auto maintenance appointments and even glances in the bathroom mirror all help us monitor performance, catch potential problems and assure us that all is – or will be – well. What’s true of teeth, engines and grooming is also true of finances: regular checkups are recommended. Nick Rasmussen Financial Consultant Why? Changes both great and small affect the strategies people have developed to help achieve their financial goals. Unfortunately, too many people act as though once their financial plan is in place their work is done. But this isn’t the case. As a general rule, professionals recommend you review your financial plan and strategies at least once each year. Certain life changes – the birth or adoption of a child, a change in marital status (married, divorced or widowed), the death of a family member or changes to your health – should serve as reminders that a financial tune-up is in order.

Community theater group performs ‘Willy Wonka’ A new community theater group with White Bear Lake roots will perform the musical theater version of the beloved children’s book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” at the White Bear Armory from Oct. 25 to 28. The musical version, known as Roald Dahl’s “Willy Wonka,” follows the story twice depicted in movie releases with favorite songs including “Oompa Loompa” and “Wonka’s Pure Imagination.” The group known as the Fools for Christ has been operating since 1993 at St. Stephen Lutheran Church on County Road E, but has just this year launched as a new nonprofit organization. The decision to become a community group was borne out of a desire to serve a larger audience in our community, according to Fools for Christ’s executive director, Matt Millard. “Our group was made up of church members who provided skits, dinner theaters and Living Nativity portrayals at St. Stephen for many years,” he said. “When we had the idea about six years ago to put on a full-length musical, we needed more members to help and contacted other churches in White Bear.” That first musical, “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” added members from Christ the King Lutheran Church, and subsequent productions of “Scrooge The Musical” and “Shrek The Musical” have continued to involve more members from across the northeast metro area. “After our production of Shrek, we had a big decision to make, as due to our growth our current theater space no longer served our needs for show production and audience experience,” Millard said. “We decided to look for a new venue to better serve those needs. The White Bear Armory presented us with a perfect opportunity to stay in

the heart of White Bear Lake, and give our group the space it needs to put on a great show.” Andy Hennig, who plays Willy Wonka in the upcoming production and also serves as the treasurer for the group, said that the support from the churches and community has been incredible. “We needed to raise funds to put on the show, so we hosted a fundraising gala this summer. Over 40 businesses from around the community gave us donations for our silent auction, helping us raise thousands
of dollars. We also received generous donations from our patrons who know that our members will continue to be involved in our respective faith communities as we start this venture. With this support, we hope to keep fulfilling our mission of being ‘Ordinary people spreading an Extraordinary Message’ all across the area.” Future dinner theaters at both Christ the King and St. Stephen are planned, as well as another community production in 2019. “We welcome anyone who loves to act and sing to join our group,”
Hennig said. For more information, visit www.foolsdrama.com Tickets are available at www.foolsdrama.com/tickets. Cost is $16 for adults and $12 for children under 12. All children's tickets are buy two, get one free. Shows are at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 25, Friday, Oct. 26 and Saturday, Oct. 27; and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 29.

Zephyr boys soccer breaks through to state with win BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED
Helio De La Torre (10), Kory Pilarsky (20) and Gavin Goralnick (7) celebrate the goal that made the score 3-1 with 51 seconds left in the section finals.
Helio De La Torre could not restrain himself, so great was his elation. After the senior midfielder scored the clinching goal in the section championship game Thursday evening, he sprinted off the field — even though 51 seconds remained in the game — and over to the track to the front of the stands to leap and highfive with the joyous student gallery. Teammates Gavin Goralnick and Kory Pilarski joined him. “Hey, guys, get back on the field!” the referee yelled at them, with Zephyr coach Dominic Isaac seconding that, waving his arms. After a few seconds of celebration, the trio sprinted back to close out their 3-1 win over Hill-Murray at home for the Section 4A crown. “We’ve had some heartbreak before,” said De La Torre, who scored his 17th and 18th goals of the season. “This season, I said, you know what, we’re going to work as hard as we can and get to state. “I’ve been here since my freshman year and I love these guys. They are like a second family. This is a moment I will cherish forever.” The top-seeded Zephyrs (16-2) secured their first state berth since 2014. Ranked No. 3, they will take on Bemidji Wednesday, 7:30 p.m. at St. Cloud State. “I’ve expected this the last three years, with this group,” Isaac said. “This year we’ve got 14 guys with three years varsity experience, including two sophomores who were
with us as eighth graders.” The Zephyrs have gone 38-12-5 over their three years together but lost to St. Paul Como Park in sectionals the last two years. “It was going to be state or bust this year,” the coach said. Hill-Murray (9-10-1), which pulled off two upsets to reach finals, led 1-0 at halftime on a goal by Anthony Banderas-Infante. De La Torre knotted the score in the second half with a shot from just outside the 18-yard marker after Kory Pilarski played the ball to him. Ethan Peterson broke the tie with a rebound shot in the 64th minute, after Elliot James’ chip shot was knocked down by the goalie. That was the third goal for the soph midfielder who “gives us a spark off the bench,” said Isaac. The Zephyrs got the clincher when De La Torres took a feed from Goralnick and ripped it into the net from the left side, his 18th goal of the year and sixth in three section games. The Zephyrs edged No. 5 St. Paul Washington Technology Magnet 2-1 in the semifinals with De La Torre delivering both goals and Dylan L’allier assisting on both. Josh Bates made “a phenomenal save,” the coach said, with about six minutes left to keep the lead at 2-1. Asked to assess his section champion team, Isaac said, “We possess the ball really good, we move it around and find our forwards, and we play good team defense and our goal tending (Josh Bates) is good. Put the all together and you can get to state.”
Zephyr tennis stopped in section semifinals Mahtomedi tennis saw its reign of three straight section championships end last week. Seeded No. 2 in Section 4AA, the Zephyrs had a bye, beat No. 7 Totino-Grace 6-1, and fell in the semifinals to No. 3 Stillwater 4-3, finishing the season 9-5. (Stillwater lost to Mounds View in the finals 4-3.) Two Zephyrs reached semifinals of section singles with three victories each — seventh-grader Annika Munson, the No. 2 seed, and senior Lauren Splett, the No. 4 seed. Semifinals and finals were played Tuesday.

Great one to quit on for struggling Bear boys soccer squad BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
A frustrating season by White Bear Lake boys soccer ended with a valiant effort. The Bears almost pulled off a No. 8 vs. No. 1 upset, falling short against the Stillwater Ponies 1-0 in the Section 4AA opening round, played during a cold rain Tuesday, Oct. 10. Bear coach Karl Jende said the Bears “gave Stillwater all they could handle” with a complete team effort, limiting the Ponies’ opportunities “mostly by keeping the ball.” Stillwater (14-1-2) is ranked No. 2 in the state and has been state champion and state runner-up the past two years. The Ponies were 8-0 in the Suburban East Conference including a 4-0 win over the Bears in the conference finale. The Bears finished 2-11-2 overall and 1-6-1 in conference (tied for last) with only eight goals in 15 matches, and none in their last five. But they had a good one to quit on.
Jende praised the efforts of the center back pairing of Marcus Taugner and Paul Moris, and center midfield duo of Grant Miller and Karsten Kletti, in limiting Stillwater’s ability to create scoring chances. Spencer Scott notched the lone goal of the match early in the second half, when a shot from a tight angle skipped and went through the hands of Bear goalie Jeremy Becker, with the wet conditions probably a factor. “We kept our heads up and continued to play our game with confidence,” Jende said. The Bears lost their MVP before the season as Loren Altman suffered a knee injury during summer soccer. Atlman had 15 goals in a 7-8-3 season last year. “Losing Loren Altman was a massive blow to our team, and we struggled to find any consistency in front of goal because of it,” Jende acknowledged. But he added, “Our forward line will be well stocked for the next few seasons, so I hope the lessons learned this season help our young players come back hungry to improve and help the program take the next step in our progression.”

Defending state champs head back to big show BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Thanks to a girl named Panek who never panics, the Mahtomedi Zephyrs will have a chance to defend their state girls soccer championship next week. Sydney Panek delivered the game-winner with 16 seconds left and the No. 2 seeded Zephyrs clipped top-seeded Hill-Murray 3-2 for the Section 4A championship on the Pioneers field Thursday evening.
“She’s an incredible competitor, a great athlete,” coach Dave Wald said about the junior midfielder. Mahtomedi will take a 12-5-1 record into state, including four losses to Class 2A teams with a combined record of 52-12-8. The Zephyrs face Bemidji at St. Cloud State on Wednesday, 5:30 p.m. The semifinals and finals will be played at U.S. Bank Stadium on Oct. 30 and Nov. 2. The game appeared headed for overtime but the Zephyrs moved the ball up the

Nuni Omot, the first Mahtomedi graduate to play Division I basketball, has gotten a step closer to his ultimate goal, the NBA. The 6-9, 205-pound forward was not drafted last spring after completing his college career at Baylor University, but the Brooklyn Nets signed him Oct. 2 for the 20th and last spot on their training camp roster. The Nets assigned him on Oct. 11 to the Long Island Nets of the NBA’s minor league, called the G League, according to netsdaily.com, the team’s fan web site. He received a $50,000 bonus and a starting salary of $77,200 if he stays withe Long Island for 60 days. Omot, who averaged 9.9 points and 3.7 rebounds for Baylor last year, is regarded as a long-shot prospect due to his outside shooting and his 7-foot wing span, according to fan web sites. Working against him is his age; he just turned 24.
Media reports on Omot typically describe him as a survivor and late bloomer. Born in a refugee camp in Kenya, he played JV at Mahtomedi until breaking out Nuni Omot as a senior averaging 18 points. He played a year at Concordia-St. Paul and a year at Indian Hills (IA) Community College before landing with Baylor. At that time, he told the White Bear Press that the NBA was his goal. Omot played for Golden State in the NBA Summer League, averaging six points and three rebounds in 18 minutes per game.
Helio De La Torre of Mahtomedi was named one of five finalists for the Mr. Soccer award in Class A at the end of the regular season. The senior midfielder then sparked the Zephyrs (15-2) to the Section 4A championship, scoring six goals in three games, including two in the finals to lead a 3-1 win over Hill-Murray. He has 18 goals and six assists this year, after notching 15 goals as a junior and 10 as a sophomore. Minnesota’s #1 Volume Toyota Dealer! Per Toyota Motor Sale USA 2017

field with the clock winding down and Panek saw an opening and steered the ball behind the goalie. After a hard-fought, scoreless first half, Audrey Sexson scored on a penalty kick, and Lauren Heinsch drilled a goal from the 18-yard marker (assisted by Sonia Meyer), for the Zephyrs in the second half. Each time, Hill-Murray pulled even, on a Mahtomedi “own” goal credited to H-M’s Anna Ayd, and on Caralyn Conners shot with four minutes left. Last year, Mahtomedi creamed the Pioneers 6-0 in the section finals and went on to capture their sixth state Class A title. This year, Hill-Murray (13-4-1) was top-seeded by virtue of beating Mahtomedi 2-0 on Oct. 2, ending the Zephyr string of nine straight conference titles in the process. Hill-Murray was No. 2 in the state in the final rankings and Mahtomedi was No. 3.

Zephyr gridders rout North, head into section seeded first The Mahtomedi football team will take a 6-2 record into sectionals after closing the regular season with a 41-7 rout of North St. Paul last Wednesday. The Zephyrs lost to Tartan 21-17 the previous Friday and might get a rematch in the playoffs. Mahtomedi is top-seeded in Section 4 of Class 5A and will have a first-round bye when playoffs open Tuesday. Tartan is No. 2 seed. The Zephyrs will host the winner of Minneapolis Washburn (2-6) vs. St. Paul Highland Park (1-7) on Saturday, Oct. 27, at 2 p.m. Against winless North, Zephyr quarterback Jake Arlandson hit 10 of 12 passes for 186 yards and touchdowns to Tyler Tangwall (58 yards) and J’vonne Hadley (29 yards) while scoring twice on one-yard runs. Tangwall caught three passes for 82 yards and Hadley three for 62. Erik Bjork had an 11-yard touchdown and Josh Praml a oneyard TD. Bjork carried 14 times for 55 yards. Tartan (6-2) clipped the Zephyrs as Tim Oeun carried 23 times for 170 yards and TDs of 57 and 15 yards. The Titans also had a kick return touchdown by Dorian Singer of 84 yards. Their big key was holding Arlandson to 13-for-25 for 97 yards, no TDs and one interception. For the year the Zephyrs have 16 touchdown passes against just two pickoffs. Bjork had 121 yards on 23 rushes with an eight-yard TD. Kyle Oswald kicked a 30-yard field goal and Arlandsonhad a one-yard TD. Bruce Strand
Bear gridders shackled by Mustangs, head into playoffs 4-4 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Seven turnovers by White Bear Lake, against a Mounds View defense that’s probably the best the Bears have faced all season, added up to a 21-7 loss to the Mustangs on Wednesday, Oct. 17 Mounds View intercepted four passes — three of them by Nate Farm, one of which was returned 59 yards and led to the first touchdown — and recovered three fumbles, most notably Rowan Morgan yanking the ball from Zach Griebel at the one-yard line. The Bears, now 4-4 after a 4-1 start, will play at Maple Grove (3-5) on Friday in the first round of the 32-team
Class 6A tournament. Bear quarterback Cooper Anderson had the first shaky performance of a stellar season, completing 11 of 28 passes for 95 yards with four pickoffs. Anderson did connect with Kevin Boeing for a 19-yard touchdown that tied the score 7-7. Boeing had four catches for 44 yards. Dominic Smith caught five for 60 yards. The Bears were limited to 75 rushing yards, for a season-low 170 yards from scrimmage. Defensively, the Bears made a couple stops after early fumbles inside their own 30. After that, Mounds View scored on a 19-yard pass from Cole Stenstrom to Mateo Cisneros and runs of 11 yards by Cody Bieber and two yards by Farm.
Bear girls, beset with injuries to seniors, ousted in section thriller BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
White Bear Lake’s girls soccer team started with the highest of hopes, but was hampered by three key injuries, and fell in the section semifinals for the fourth straight season. The Bears lost to top-seeded East Ridge 2-1 on Saturday, Oct. 13, in Section 4AA, finishing 11-5-1. “We are proud of the team coming together and being as competitive as they were leading into the playoffs,” said John Dierkhising, co-coach with Dave Ashley. “Not many teams can lose three high-end starters — Claire Odmark, Jordan Gast, and Kenzie Ternes — and still be as competitive as we were this year.” The Bears were a top-five team last season but got upset by Mounds View (overtime shootout) in the section semifinals. Most of their firepower returned and they were ranked as high as No. 4, but lost Gast and Ternes to torn ACL’s and Odmark to a fracture in her foot. “This senior class had state championship potential if healthy,” Dierkhising said. Erika Townley, one senior standout still going full bore, pulled the Bears into a 1-1 tie with an “unreal” goal, the coach assessed. The senior midfielder’s cannon shot from 35 yards, at full gallop and under pressure, sailed into the upper corner of the net in the 58th minute. East Ridge (14-2-1) prevailed on goals by Mackenzie Werner and Delaney Goertzen. The Bears beat St. Paul Central 3-1 in the first round on goals by Townley, Kayla Anderson and Anna Racine.

Mahtomedi Area Solar Co-op selects All Energy Solar to serve group ST. PAUL — The Mahtomedi Area Solar Co-op has selected All Energy Solar to install solar panels for its 39-participant group. Co-op participants selected All Energy Solar through a competitive bidding process over two other firms. “We’re excited to be selected to help bring affordable, renewable solar power to Mahtomedi and surrounding communities,” said Michael Allen, president and co-owner of All Energy Solar. “As a Twin Cities-based business, it’s inspiring to be a part of a program that brings local residents together to make going solar easier than ever. And with many solar incentives such as the Federal Solar Tax Credit scheduled to decline next year, the timing couldn’t be better for those who participate.” Solar United Neighbors expands access to solar by educating Minnesota residents about the benefits of distributed solar energy, helping them organize group solar installations and strengthening Minnesota solar policies and its community of solar supporters.
Co-op participants selected All Energy Solar because they felt it offers quality equipment with good warranties, and they have significant experience in the local community. “I was delighted to hear about and join the Mahtomedi Area Solar Co-op,” said Karen Gruetzmacher of White Bear Lake. “I have long wanted to put a solar array on my house, but the complexity of the project was overwhelming. It is extremely helpful to have a group of interested people asking questions and learning about solar arrays.

Foundation looking for tomorrow’s leaders A program initiated by the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation seeks to create a new generation of leaders for the community. The program, called Leadership Tomorrow, is accepting applications for participation in its second year, set to begin in January 2019. Applications are due by Nov. 10. Leadership Tomorrow involves 20 current and emerging leaders in a series of 10 monthly sessions that feature leadership development concepts and skill training, together with an introduction to various community organizations and issues. The leadership component is facilitated by The AWL Group (Action Wheel Lead-
ership), experienced consultants with hands-on expertise in building leaders and solving organizational issues. A diverse group of community leaders serve as resource presenters and discussion guides for the community sessions. These involve learning about the history of our area, current demographics and future trends, local government, business and economic development, arts and culture, human services, education, health and wellness, and the environment. “This program has given me the tools and the confidence to move into new leadership roles at work and in the community,” said Ashley Filipovich, a member
of the 2018 pilot program and chair of recruitment and selection for the second cohort. After completing the program, participants can expect to recognize their leadership abilities; apply leadership concepts and practices in their workplace and/or in the community; appreciate the resources, organizations, cultures, challenges and opportunities in the greater White Bear Lake area; step into new or expanded leadership roles within the community and/or with their employer and commit to lifelong learning and community engagement. “Participation in this program has the
potential to be life-changing,” noted Craig Drake, chair of the Leadership Tomorrow Steering Committee and a member of the foundation’s board of directors. “It’s a great opportunity to learn more about yourself and your leadership abilities and to gain a better understanding of your community and the ways in which you can be engaged in its future.” Tuition for the program is $500 and scholarship assistance is available. More information and an online application form are available on the foundation’s website, greaterwblfoundation.org. Submitted
BUSINESS BRIEFS US Bank opens new 'advisory center' Damon Jenkins, district manager of the Minnesota In-Store District, cut the ribbon Oct. 9 at US Bank's new White Bear Lake Customer Advisory Center.

Upholsterists will also go on site and do any type of commercial work such as restaurants and dental offices.

Sanibel Dance owner Amber Lombardo also relocated after sale of the Waldoch property to Hy-Vee. Her dance studio was first to move to its new location just one block east to 1656 County Road E, across from The Stadium. “We're happy for the Waldoch family,” she said. “This will be great for the community and will clean up that corner nicely.” Mouldings, Doors and More has moved one block east

Hemp store opens in Maplewood Mall Nothing But Hemp is opening its first CBD store Nov. 5 in Maplewood Mall. Founder and CEO Steven Brown, an expert in the field of cannabis and hemp, has been working as a consultant in California and Colorado to help open cannabis dispensaries. The former Marine and longtime resident of Minneapolis said the mall location had the right demographic for his new business. All of the CBD products he sells contain under 0.03 percent THC in order to conform with state and federal guidelines. Products will include oils, edibles and topical creams that are from hemp-derived CBD oil. Some of the products have infused essential oils in CBD and fractionated coconut oil. A portion of profits will go to the nonprofit Lone Survivor to help troops suffering with PTSD. His kiosk is on the first floor next to Caribou Coffee. Not approved for medical use, customers use CBD oil to treat issues like anxiety, pain and inflammation, sleep issues and nausea. Hemp contains much smaller amounts of THC than cannabis, the chemical that gets people high. CBD is cannabidiol, one of more than 60 compounds found in cannabis believed to have medical benefits.

WEEKLY AVERAGES
Being an observational meteorologist, it tears at me to go out OCT. 24 - 30, 2018 of town for an extended period of time. I’m always worried High 54° I’m going to miss some weather event. This past week I was Low 36° in California, suffering in 90º heat! and sunny skies. I know you’re thinking how great that would be, considering the light %Sun 48% snow that fell on Saturday. Well let me tell you, I’d rather PCP 0.54” have been home. The changing of the seasons in Minnesota is one of the things I enjoy most about Minnesota. When I miss something, even something as minor as a snowfall, it bothers me. Plus I was to meet up for the Badger game in Madison this past Saturday. My old college roommates sent me a few pictures of the snow-covered field. Grrrr! Oh well, I’m back now. It’s good to be home.
