New space devoted to student creativity BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — An old storage space across from the media center at South Campus has become a place where students can let their creativity flow. The school launched a maker space this fall, a place where students can work on creative projects before, during or after school with state-of-the-art equipment and craft supplies. Media Specialist David Olson received a $5,000 grant from the Greater Twin Cities United Way last school year to develop the maker space. He said he was inspired to make a maker

space after hearing about Mounds View High School's maker space in its media center. “We've got a perfect spot for that,” he said. The classroom was previously an audiovisual storage room — years ago it held overhead projectors and TVs, and then computers, said Olson, who has worked at the school nearly 20 years. As technology became embedded in classrooms, the space went mostly unused except it was the place where students painted signs to display around the school announcing upcoming events. Now, students will be completing

Invasive weed becoming major drag for sailboats BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Working on the railroad Workers use specialized machinery to perform maintenance on the Short Line Railway along Hwy. 61 near downtown White Bear Lake last week. The repairs were made possible with money allocated earlier this year by the State Legislature. The $1.1 million project will help keep more than 500 jobs in the region. Minnesota Commercial Railway operates the track through White Bear to Hugo’s Bald Eagle Industrial Park.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Notable sailors around the lake worry that a longtime nemesis is gaining ground. “We are losing the battle against Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM),” said Fletcher Driscoll, appearing before the White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) board of directors. At its meeting last week, the board heard comments from Driscoll, who owns a racing fleet of A scows, and Jay Rendall, a retired invasive species coordinator for the Department of Natural Resources, who has sailed on White Bear Lake for 40 years. Driscoll was part of a lake management committee in the '90s, he said, that focused on preserving the recreational quality of White Bear Lake. He has lived on the Dellwood peninsula most of his 80-plus years. “I am speaking from a sailor's point of view,” he told the board. “Frankly, we are losing the battle to milfoil. We have a situation where we are not gaining on this problem. We are losing so much of the lake that it is depressing.” SEE WATERMILFOIL, PAGE 8A

Smarte Carte property changes ownership RE Journals reports that Marcus & Millichap, a commercial real estate brokerage firm, negotiated the sale of the Smarte Carte headquarters building, a 55,784-square-foot office/warehouse property in White Bear Lake. The asset sold for $3.7 million, according to the report. Michael Ahles, an investment specialist in the company's Minneapolis office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a family partnership headed by Todd Muellner. His father, Jim Muellner, a White Bear Township resident, helped found Smarte Carte in 1967 and sold it in 1993. The building buyer, a local investment firm, was also secured by Ahles. Smarte Carte, a leading provider of self-serve vended luggage carts at U.S. airports, is located at 4455 White Bear Parkway in White Bear Lake. They hold a long-term lease for the facility. The company was also recently sold, according to the Wall Street Journal. A recent article reported the sale of Smarte Carte International Holdings, Inc. to 3i Group PLC, a British buyout firm, for $385 million. The group is the seventh firm to take over the company since Muellner sold it to a New York buyer almost 25 years ago. The Journal indicated that management will retain a stake in the company.

Demolition makes way for new pet clinic Dr. Stuart Dalton, owner of White Bear Animal Hospital, is building a new clinic to replace his current facility. The new clinic will be located to the

east of the existing practice on residential property purchased by Dalton at 1917 East County Road E. Starting Oct. 26, Better Futures Minnesota will be deconstructing the residence and will spend two weeks salvaging materials from the house. The deconstruction will be a win-win situation, Dalton said. Better Futures provides much needed jobs to men trying to get ahead in life. A large variety of materials will be repurposed and not end up in a landfill. Once deconstruction is complete, the new 5,800-square-foot clinic will begin construction. Plans are to move into the new facility next spring. At that time, the existing clinic will be demolished in order to upgrade and expand the parking lot. The new clinic will allow the practice to become certified by the American Animal Hospital Association and to be certified as Fear Free and Cat Friendly.

Aerial perspective

lear and visibility unlimited (CAVU) is a term that aviators use to describe ideal conditions for flying. After recently attending a seminar led by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) representative Kevin Morris — addressing the exponential growth of drone, or more precisely, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) usage — I discovered that current and future conditions can’t exactly be classified as clear, but instead as partly cloudy with some areas of gray. As part of his presentation, Morris outlined some of the basic safety guidelines mandated by the FAA governing the safe operation of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) along with the current laws and Angle of regulations governing their operaView tion. These guidelines include (but are not limited to): fly below 400 Paul Dols feet, never fly near other aircraft, keep your UAS within visual line of sight, keep away from emergency responders, never fly over stadiums, sports events or groups of people, never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol and never fly within five miles of an airport without first contacting air traffic control and airport authorities. Judging from my experience piloting a remote controlled quadcopter, all of these guidelines seem to be reasonable and without a doubt, the vast majority of UAS operators I have met in the last couple of years have been careful and conscientious pilots. But you may (or may not) be surprised by the occasional pilot I’ve encountered who seems to be blissfully ignorant of any of the current guidelines. Earlier this summer I struck up a conversation with a man who was visiting Stillwater to try out the new quadcopter he had just purchased the previous week. Because I approach each flight with caution and the overall awareness of what could possibly go wrong, I was somewhat envious of his carefree attitude as he launched the powerful little vehicle from the top of the Main Street stairs high into the air and then watched as it swiftly disappeared from sight over the St. Croix Valley. Using just the live video feed on a phone attached to the remote control transmitter, he gleefully piloted his aircraft over the historic lift bridge and closer to the river, where he swooped down and circled boats of various sizes. I squinted out over the river to try to catch a glimpse of the copter but it was too far away. To his credit (or more likely the sophisticated software powering the device) he was able to bring the copter back and land it safely. He seemed like a decent guy, but he flew in a manner that personally made me uncomfortable. This might be a comparative stretch, but his attitude reminded me of the people I sometimes see riding around on powerful motorcycles wearing just shorts and flip-flops, their lack of experience giving them a false (and potentially dangerous) sense of invincibility. I’m not aware of another emerging technology that represents such an extreme range of potential uses, ranging from a toy under the Christmas tree to some of the most advanced and deadly weapons of war, with numerous public safety, agricultural, inspection and cinematic applications in between. During a question and answer session that followed his presentation, FAA representative Morris was asked to offer a prediction about where he thought UAS flight was heading. He responded that it was “the future of aviation.” In a trend that I personally hope continues, it appears that the FAA is honestly attempting to promote safety while keeping up with a rapidly evolving technological phenomenon, without stifling the considerable practical and economic benefits that could result from the creative application and thoughtful use of these incredibly sophisticated devices (that sometimes resemble toys).

The stakes for academic, emotional and psychosocial consequences are high when dyslexia is not recognized and not provided for. This affects relationships, graduation rates, delinquency, employment and income. The International Dyslexia Association is a good reference. There is not a knowledge gap, there is an action gap. Science-driven recommendations such as those by Yale researcher Dr. Shaywitz clarify approaches such as Orton Gillingham strategies for teaching reading, writing and spelling.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Candidate C did t committed itt d tto community it I have known Jeff Ledermann for over 15 years, and during that time I have witnessed his unwavering service and dedication to the Mahtomedi community. As a coach for my daughters’ teams, his leadership, communication skills and ability to put the girls in positions to succeed garnered him a well-deserved Mahtomedi Basketball Association Coach of the Year award. As a Mahtomedi school board member, I saw his persistence, expertise and ability to work with complex challenges and diverse interests to provide significant educational resources worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to our schools. Just a few of the projects Jeff managed and led are the installation of the Zephyr Wind Turbine at Mahtomedi High School, a 3-acre prairie restoration at O.H. Anderson Elementary, and the natural playground at Wildwood Elementary, including lining up all the necessary partners and obtaining numerous grants and donations so that these resources created no additional costs to the district. Jeff is one of the most hardworking people I know. He consistently works for the best interest of the community and the people who live here. He is kind, honest, a good friend and a true leader. I am excited to cast my vote for Jeff Ledermann on Nov. 7. I know he has the vision, leadership and ability to get results serving on the Mahtomedi City Council. Catherine Dalton Mahtomedi

Mayor Emerson experienced and accessible On Nov. 7, we have the opportunity to re-elect Jo Emerson as mayor of White Bear Lake. Jo is totally aware of everything “White Bear Lake,” is available to attend White Bear functions, and is accessible for questions and answers pertaining to White Bear Lake. Her experience as mayor makes her the ideal choice to lead our city for the next four years. For these, and numerous other good reasons, we feel she is again, the right person, in the right place and at the right time. John and Jane Jones White Bear Lake

Re-elect Mayor Emerson Nov. 7 I wanted to share my support to re-elect Jo Emerson for mayor of the city of White Bear Lake. I had the pleasure to serve eight years on the City Council, six of them with Mayor Emerson and witnessed the positive impact that Jo has had on representing our city. During Jo’s tenure, the city has faced some difficult issues, the recession, the low lake levels, an aging residential population shift, economic redevelopment in a city that is almost 100 percent completely developed, and many more. Under her leadership, Jo has been able to lead the council to be united and work towards common goals that have benefited our city. Her commitment to service and our city is almost beyond comparison. Jo is current president of the League of Minnesota Cities and has served honorably in numerous capacities on state and local organizations throughout her life. Her personal passion is the Historical Society. Beyond the mayor’s political responsibilities, you will see her at community festivals and events, reaching out to Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, serving meals with Santa’s Serving Seniors, volunteering her experiences at Regions breast cancer center, congratulating DARE graduates, comforting families at funerals, honoring our veterans; the list goes on. I’m sure she goes through a pair of shoes monthly as, I know, she hits the ground running every day to humbly and proudly represent each and every one of us living in White Bear Lake. I firmly believe that Jo has the experience to continue to serve as mayor and she has earned my vote. Please vote this Nov. 7. Renee Tessier White Bear Lake

Candidate values district diversity I am writing to share my strong support for Jessica Ellison for White Bear Lake School Board. In order to learn to their full potential, students need to feel safe and supported, and Jessica is passionate about making sure every student in White Bear Lake schools feels safe, welcome and heard. She values the diversity in our district and believes that communities that celebrate their diversity are stronger for it. I have seen Jessica talk about Matoska Elementary, her children’s school, and it’s clear how much she appreciates the community everyone in the building has worked to create. All students should have the opportunity to truly feel included and valued as part of a school community, and I believe Jessica would have this as a key priority as a member of the school board. Jessica’s focus on supporting all members of the school district extends to teachers, staff and school personnel as well. She has made a career out of partnering with teachers and school staff through her work at the Minnesota Historical Society, developing tools to help teachers engage

and students. As a parentt and d challenge h ll t d t A d a community it member, I believe our schools will be stronger and more welcoming of all students with Jessica Ellison on the school board. I urge you to vote for her Nov. 7. Amy Frane-Gower White Bear Lake

School board incumbents good at their jobs I figure the best way to determine if someone would be good at a job is to work alongside them for years and watch as they do that job. I've worked alongside Kim Chapman and Don Mullin on the White Bear Lake Area School Board for several years and know without a doubt that they are terrific School Board members and will continue to serve the district well if they are reelected on Nov. 7, 2017. Kim and Don both prepare well for meetings and ask probing questions of those who appear before us. They both actively and enthusiastically engage in committee work, and serve their liaison schools well. When the board needs to makes decisions affecting the finances of the school district, Kim and Don always carefully weigh the benefit to our kids and their families against the financial cost to the district and the taxpayers. And always, always, Don and Kim put the best interests of our district's kids at the forefront of every decision they make. Both are devoted family men with children currently attending our district schools. They are both proud their kids attend the White Bear Lake Area Schools, and are proud they can serve their kids and all kids in the school district as members of our School Board. As an added bonus, Kim and Don are pretty nice guys. I'm proud to call both of them my friends. Please vote to reelect Kim Chapman and Don Mullin to the School Board on Nov. 7, 2017. You won't regret it. Janet Newberg White Bear Lake

Council candidate a strong consensus builder We strongly encourage a “yes” vote for Steve Wolgamot for Mahtomedi City Council. Over the years, he has shown a willingness to be actively engaged in positive ways for the betterment of our schools and community. Steve looks for ways to improve Mahtomedi, not find fault. He is a strong consensus builder. This positive “can do” attitude will serve to enhance our city for its citizens. A vote for Steve is a vote for someone who cares deeply for Mahtomedi now and in the future. Alice and Dee Smith Mahtomedi

Candidate a master at representing everyone I met Jill Engwer four years ago when we both served on the FLIPS Gymnastics Booster Club. Jill was the president of the Booster Club, and she successfully guided our board to exceed financial goals and implement creative fundraisers. She worked tirelessly for all the families and made sure all of the members’ voices were represented. The greatest strength Jill showed in her Booster Club experience was working with the diversity of opinions of other involved families. She took all of those opinions, ideas and concerns and went to work. Jill is a master at representing everyone. As a business owner in the community, I support Jill for White Bear Lake Area School Board because I know she will work to continue to strengthen our educational experiences for all students. I believe our community thrives when our schools contribute to producing well-rounded citizens who, in turn, support our local businesses and strengthen our community. No small business can thrive in a community that is not thriving. A thriving community starts with a thriving education system. As a parent of two White Bear Lake students, it’s very important that I know, mom to mom, there is someone on the school board to whom I can relate. Often, I feel board members are disconnected from the younger families and I know Jill has the capacity to represent all White Bear Lake Area Schools’ student needs. Jill is incredibly easy and genuine to talk to. She listens with a patient ear and she passionately takes action with all her heart. Please vote for Jill Engwer for White Bear Lake Area School Board on Nov. 7. Go Bears. Go Jill. Allison Drusch White Bear Lake

Incumbent mayor knowledgeable, respectful I have had the opportunity to work with Jo Emerson while I served as a White Bear Lake City Council member. I always found Jo to be knowledgeable on issues and respectful of others' options. She is involved with many organizations and participates in groups working on important issues such as the White Bear

Lake L k llevels, l senior i programs, Chamber Ch b off Commerce C and many charitable and nonprofit organizations. Jo was also recently elected as president of The League of Minnesota Cities. I believe Jo is a steady and thoughtful leader and deserves our support for mayor. Bryan Belisle White Bear Lake

School board member brings numerous assets to table It is with great pleasure and confidence that I recommend to White Bear Lake District 624 residents that we re-elect Kim Chapman to the White Bear Lake Area School Board. Kim Chapman, who currently serves in the position of school board treasurer, is a gifted and knowledgeable member of our community and board. He brings numerous assets to the table, with financial and budgeting expertise — along with policy and fiscal common sense — among the most noteworthy. Since District 624 voters first elected (2009) Mr. Chapman to the board, White Bear Lake Area Schools has been recognized year after year for its strong financial position and excellence in financial reporting. In addition, students have benefited from a wide array of increased opportunities that meet the needs of all learners. As a school board member who is leaving the board after serving our community for 12 years, and as someone who holds and/or has held leadership positions in state and metropolitan education organizations, I believe Kim Chapman’s continued presence on the board is extremely important and critical to our community. He is someone who isn’t afraid to ask the difficult questions on behalf of the residents he represents. He is the epitome of a team player on what I believe to be a highly functioning school board. He and his wife have three children who attend schools in the district, which adds to the stake he holds in ensuring White Bear Lake offers the best possible educational experience for students, staff and the entire community. In closing, I strongly believe, through over eight years of professional interaction and personal observation, that Kim Chapman is a student-centered individual who is purely motivated by a passion for improving teaching and learning for all students. This is what drives his desire to continue serving this district. George Kimball White Bear Lake

Campaign signs reflect candidate's platform This time of year we are used to seeing election yard signs everywhere. They tend to look the same. Seldom do they reflect the character, platform or experience of the candidate. I wish to call readers' attention to the yard signs for Jeff Ledermann, Mahtomedi City Council candidate. They are different, and designed to be so. Their homemade look and simple language were intentional, as well as the fact they were made from recycled materials rather than from stacks of pallets of new plywood and lath to be tossed out after the election. Their appearance reflects Jeff's commitment to environmental protection, sustainability and energy conservation, and their message speaks to Jeff's skills at direct and clear communication. Jeff's experience as an innovator and "get-it-done guy" qualifies him to lead the city. If you've ever visited the Eco-Experience at the State Fair, you should know he was the major player in planning and developing it several years ago. And locally, he was part of the team to install the wind generator at the high school. He is a tireless worker, capable manager, and proven leader. Jeff will be a great asset to Mahtomedi and its future. We should look forward to his dedicated service to our community. As his signs remind us, Vote 4 Jeff. Ted Field Mahtomedi

Supports educational foundation fund drive The first time I heard about the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation (MAEF) was when I picked up my daughter from dance. Being crammed in the small studio lobby with other parents made it easy to overhear one mother try to convince another to join her at the annual Legacy Night spring gala. “You get all dressed up. It’s fun. Come!” Seeing that her friend needed more information than cajoling, she went on, “MAEF gives money for the FABLab and iPAD carts— the new Wildwood nature playground too.” At that moment the studio door swung open. Girls and giggles overwhelmed the lobby, so I’ll never know if she agreed to attend. It is true that MAEF provides funding for big-ticket items and shiny, technological gadgets, but what I’ve learned since that afternoon is that student scholarships, awarding teacher grants and sponsoring SEE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, PAGE 10A

Would-be bar burglars run from state-of-the-art alarm BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Burglars ran away from Doc's Landing at 6 a.m. Oct. 17 when the bar's state-of-the-art security system went off. Doc's Landing also caught footage of the two alleged burglars. The burglars broke front and patio glass doors, causing $1,500 in damage, said Doc Guerin. “I have sensors everywhere in my bar that pick up the sound of broken glass,”

Guerin said. “As soon as it picked up the sound of that, the alarm went off and they ran away.” White Bear Lake police are investigating the incident, reported Capt. Dale Hager. The bar's Facebook post with photos of the suspects have led to a lot of leads, Guerin noted. The bar is open for business as usual, he added. The broken glass was safety glass; broken panes have been boarded up until they can be replaced.

Doc’s Landing captured footage of two suspects who attempted to break into the bar at 6 a.m. Oct. 17.

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

Vadnais Heights • A big, stray dog with a record of running-atlarge was collared running at large the night of Sept. 11 in the 500 block of Oak Creek Drive. That earned the owner of the friendly Husky-St. Bernard mix a citation to go along with the cost of bailing the animal out of the Hillcrest Animal Hospital. • “A female” helping herself to a bottle of vodka and hotfooting it out of MGM Wine & Spirits at Hwy. 96 and Centerville Road the morning of Oct. 12 was the only information provided by the manager other than license plate information that didn’t match the vehicle described. No suspects. • A 32-year-old Richfield shopper returned to her vehicle in the Target parking lot in the 900 block of County Road E late on the afternoon of Oct. 13 to fi nd her 2017 Suburu Outback heavily damaged. Security video of the hit-and-run crash was inconclusive. No suspects. • Like a dancer who knows all the steps, a smooth-talking scammer convinced a 64-yearold Vadnais Heights man the morning of Oct 14 to not only reveal his Social Security information but also to give up his Target account

number. The male scammer then used that information to cash nine $500 gift cards that were charged to the victim’s account. Further details of the $4,500 phone swindle were not made available; an investigation is underway. • A 20-year-old local man was back in jail Oct. 16, charged with violating a felony order for protection after he was found asleep in a Mayfair Road mobile home bedroom containing an eight-month old baby that, according to the baby’s Mom, he had “beaten up” a week earlier. The suspect, who attempted to flee the scene, had just been released from jail while he awaits a hearing on charges of assaulting the baby, who suffered bruises, and the baby’s mother. According to the suspect, he is currently in drug treatment.

White Bear Township • A 60-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman arrived home the afternoon of Oct. 13 in the 5100 block of Stillwater Court to fi nd they had been the victims of a break-in. Deputies arrived and collared the burglary suspects nearby: a 19-year old man, “who seemed to be off,” and a male juvenile, both from Hugo, who were found to have stashed jewelry, fi rearms, bottles of vodka and Captain Morgan, and 16 pills of Lorazepam — an anti-anxiety prescription drug

— in a camper in the driveway. A felony warrant also had been issued for the juvenile's arrest. Both suspects were transported to jail on pending second-degree felony burglary charges, where the juvenile would soon be forwarded on to the juvenile detention center. • An outboard motor on a boat stored at the Benson airport on Hwy. 61 was reported stolen overnight Oct. 15. The motor was valued at $125. • When deputies arrived at Cub Foods on Meadowlands Drive the afternoon of Oct. 12, asset protection employees already had a 36-year-old man in custody for shoplifting razors. The Monticello man, who tried to get away with a fake ID, was charged with providing false information to police. He was also wanted on a Jackson County felony warrant for a DWI probation violation, but officials there declined to pick him up. The man was released after being cited. • Fists flew the morning of Oct. 17 at the Bellaire Education Center in the 2500 block of County Road F when two males squared off in a hallway. “They don’t like each other,” a staff member said. Ages and hometowns of the juveniles were not released consistent with the requirements of the Minnesota Data Practices Act. The case was sent to the county attorney’s office and parents were advised.

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:

WATERMILFOIL: Weed makes areas of lake off limits for sailboat racing FROM PAGE 1A

Driscoll said he invited Rendall to accompany him to the Oct. 17 WBLCD meeting to propose a different regimen in terms of treatment and scope. “Early treatment is necessary,” Driscoll stressed. “There is always a big gap of time between the survey and implementation of treatment. A month is too late. Milfoil is already impinging on the sailboats.” On race nights, an A boat travels 22 to 25 miles, explained the seasoned skipper. “We have a tendency to find milfoil everywhere. Unfortunately, much of the lake becomes off limits.” Although he sails smaller boats, Rendall agreed there are large areas of EWM below the surface, even 6 feet deep, that greatly affect the sailboats. “We can't sail through it. It stops us and we have to avoid large areas of the lake.” He encouraged the board to survey

the lake earlier in the season for infestations. “The DNR will issue a permit if they know milfoil is present,” Rendall noted. “We need to be more aggressive in the treatment or it will continue to spread.” Their comments purposely prefaced a presentation by the “lake doctor,” Steve McComas of Blue Water Science. An aquatic scientist, McComas has been surveying the lake for 20 years as an independent consultant. McComas told Driscoll and Rendall that he appreciated the input, but noted that treatment timing can be tricky. “We don't want to treat too early or milfoil will grow back the same year,” McComas said. He assessed this year's treatment as “not excellent, but fair to good.” This year, 65 acres were treated July 14 on White Bear Lake. Areas are surveyed annually in late June. Once they are delineated, the WBLCD applies for the treatment permit from the DNR.

This map shows Eurasian watermilfoil spotted June 30, 2017. Heavy growth spotted late June may be too late for certain recreational uses.

You’ve always said you wouldn’t be caught dead in that dress.

You’d better tell them now.

McComas then assesses treatment success in late August. Some areas were really knocked down this season, particularly in the southern and southwest end of the lake (see accompanying map). In the western basin and around the point of the island, milfoil was still present. When lake levels started to drop in 2010, milfoil responded, he noted. Light penetrates to the sediments in shallow water and stimulates milfoil growth. The weed also grew in new areas because nitrogen in the sediment hadn't been tapped because there was no prior plant growth there. In 2010, 160 acres were treated. Over the last two years, less than 70 acres has been treated but milfoil is still abundant. Zebra mussels, too, have an impact. Water clarity increases as the invasive mussels consume algae, which stimulates EWM growth through the increased sunlight.

McComas took note of the “sailing tradition” on White Bear Lake and agreed, the WBLCD may want to reconsider the depth at which milfoil is treated. “We've been treating EWM for recreational use, but more for boats with motors; 2 feet below the surface to clear the way for propellers. We may want to reconsider the level at which milfoil is treated for sailing. That means more acres and earlier to accommodate sailing concerns.” McComas said that will be a judgment call that is up to the WBLCD board. He added that treatment is effective in deeper water if the plant is actively growing, but might be more expensive. When asked about other invasive aquatic weeds, McComas said most prominent in the news these days is starry stonewort. He described it as a “macro algae” present in 11 or 12 lakes in the state, including lakes in Wright and Stearns counties. It is treated with copper sulfate.

A health class used the space to make virtual reality goggles to study the respiratory system, he noted. This fall, a biomedical engineering class made surgical masks out of various types of materials. A government class and book club made buttons. A 3-D printer was purchased with the grant. So far, students have used it to print furniture for models while studying interior design and the printer has been used to make a valve needed for CPR class models. The maker space includes several other pieces of creative equipment, such as a vinyl cutter, plastic model maker and an EggBot Pro,

which makes intricate designs on eggs or ping pong balls. Sewing equipment was donated by Bear Patch Quilting.

Monument nearing completion to honor those who served BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Former White Bear VFW Commander Rick Gwynn has been on a mission the past six months to build a monument at Veterans Memorial Park. His efforts and those who supported the project will be completed, as planned, by Veterans Day. The black granite monument to honor those who served will be dedicated at a 2 p.m. ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 11 at the lakeside park next to VFW Post 1782. The public is invited. Dignitaries including Rep. Betty McCollum, Mayor Jo Emerson, St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman, and area legislators will attend the dedication. American Heritage Pipes & Drums will perform several pieces. A reception follows at the VFW. Gwynn, a Vietnam veteran, said the memorial was made possible by the Keep-Zimmer VFW Post 1782 and its auxiliary, a local friend of veterans, Polar Chevrolet/Mazda and the people of White Bear Lake. The local friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, provided the granite used to make the monument, an in-kind donation worth up to $40,000, according to Gwynn. The remainder of the almost $60,000 project was paid for brick by brick. So far, the VFW has sold 400 bricks inscribed with names of family members who served or as a salute to veterans. At least one brick has been ordered in memory of a dog. A K-9 handler in Vietnam ordered a paver to remember the German Shepherd he believes saved his life. The bricks will form a paved walkway leading to the memorial. Polar Chevrolet co-owner Thane Hawkins (an Air Force veteran) contributed up to $2,700 to purchase bricks for families who couldn't afford one. Bricks are still available for purchase. A 4x8 brick costs $100 and an 8x8 brick is $200. Calling the memorial a “perpetual monument,” Gwynn said blank bricks will be lifted and replaced with engraved bricks as they come in. He estimates it will take 10 to 20 years to fill the walkway. Creative Landscaping is installing the pavers. An order form for bricks can be found at www. polarengraving.com/VFWPost1782.

Candidate will push to preserve open spaces Vote 4 Jeff – Mahtomedi City Council. You’ve seen the signs if you live in Mahtomedi or drive through. I have one in my yard. Many of us are openly supporting Jeff Ledermann, a very active, longtime Mahtomedi resident, on Nov. 7 for Mahtomedi City Council. I join many residents who lament so much of the last open, green spaces in our small town are being taken over by development. Unfortunately, our current city Comprehensive Plan encourages it. Jeff intends to push for plans that preserve open, natural spaces and drive growth to areas already developed (i.e. Dairy Queen and downtown) to promote more mixed use. The City of Mahtomedi is a Green Step City and certified Tree City USA, proving the city’s commitment toward a tree ethic and toward sustainability. I wish to support a council member that will work actively with city staff and passionate volunteers to implement or improve upon actions in these green programs. Jeff was an adviser on MN GreenStep Cities and is fully capable of pushing the flexible but challenging best practices for sustainability in our city. Jeff will push for tree protections during any development and offer incentives to residents to plant trees. He has a long history of working hard on green issues both professionally and personally. I support him as a work colleague who saw his living green work at the MN State Fair (EcoExperience building), and how he worked on accessibility of wind power purchases to all Minnesotans. At home, he worked diligently with many partners to erect the wind turbine that produces energy for the school district and furthers renewable energy education for future generations. As a mother of young children, I am grateful for his work to create the natural playground area at the new Wildwood Elementary. He leads by example, folks — a testament to his green ethic. His signs were intentionally made from recycled and recovered materials and will be recycled again and not thrown away, a fate most other promotional yard signs are resigned to.

Vested in greater White Bear area Jill Engwer is a candidate for the White Bear Lake Area School Board. I have worked with Jill for the last several years on various fundraisers, and I've gotten to know her as an amazingly talented, creative and organized leader. I always feel Jill listens and respects what I have to say and isn't afraid to make a decision. She is vested in the greater White Bear Lake area, the families and, ultimately, the kids. Voting for Jill Engwer on Nov. 7 will ensure our kids will be the focus of every decision the school board makes. Voting for Jill Engwer will ensure our community

Renewing school levy right thing to do I am a product of the White Bear Lake Area School District and of this great community. My wife and I have chosen to raise our children here and send them to White Bear schools. When I served on the White Bear Lake Area School Board, years ago, our two older sons were in grade school at Lakeaires, a place where we spent many great years as a family. In recent years, we watched them grow through numerous district programs at Central, North and South, where both took college-level classes through College in the Schools. Both are now off to high-quality institutions of higher learning. Do you know that district families save $1.9 million annually on college tuition through this program? It’s a great program, and one of many that can be maintained with a simple renewal of the existing funding level in 624. Kids in the White Bear Lake Schools are on the path to success. Greatness is right here. I’ve watched it happen for 30 years, as a student, and then as a parent. This levy renewal will not increase taxes. The district makes no request for additional dollars. Simply, the renewal will allow 624 to continue to provide the excellent programs and services to which it committed when the operating levy was last renewed in 2011. District leaders have kept their promises and invested our local dollars wisely. Please join me in Voting Yes on Nov. 7 to renew the operating levy. Take pride in our community, take pride in our district’s successes. It’s time to renew, and it’s the right thing to do. Chris Wachtler White Bear Lake

A new leader for the school board We attended the League of Women Voters Candidate Forum on Sept. 27, when all of the six candidates to the White Bear Lake School Board were interviewed. We were very impressed with Jessica Ellison, who we felt would be a new leader on the school board. Her knowledge of the issues and commitment to having excellent schools was impressive. She has a professional career as a Social Studies educator for the Minnesota Historical Society. Please remember to vote on Nov. 7 for Jessica Ellison. Dick and Judy Ottman White Bear Lake

Candidate dedicated to community youth I am very pleased that Colin Johnson is running for Mahtomedi City Council. I have lived in Mahtomedi for almost 19 years with my husband and our four kids. I have known Colin, Kim and their kids for five years. Colin is the only candidate in this election that has school age children attending Mahtomedi schools. He knows how important our schools are and he knows how important it is to keep our city a great place for young families to raise their kids. I have seen his dedication to the children of our community every time he runs a softball practice, coaches a baseball game or takes a group of kids to the park. Colin is dedicated to the youth in our community. He has demonstrated his commitment time and time again volunteering his time to coach many youth sports teams. Colin Johnson is genuine, intelligent, great with kids, and has a wonderful family. He will represent our community well on the City Council. The choice in this election is easy for me. I am voting for Colin Johnson, and I hope you will too. Carrie Hammer Mahtomedi

New face on lake conservation board The city of Dellwood appointed a new member to the White Bear Lake Conservation District board of directors. Brady Ramsay replaces Pat McCann, who did not seek another term. Ramsay has lived in Dellwood with wife Heather and their two young sons for four years. He grew up in neighboring Mahtomedi, graduating from Mahtomedi High School. After getting a degree in accounting at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, Ramsay worked in Arizona only to return to the area three years later. He is a CPA and owner of Ramsay & Associates in Mahtomedi, a firm founded by his father Rich Ramsay in 1976. Ramsay is active in White Bear Lake Rotary Club, serving as president 2015-16; and serves as treasurer for the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation, the White Brady Ramsay Bear Lake Area Historical Society and Bear Boating. He also serves on the board of the White Bear Area YMCA. Brady joined the lake conservation board as a way “to get connected” to his hometown. He grew up on the lake and spent a good share of childhood in the water. Heather Ramsay is also a Mahtomedi grad, a culinary school graduate who currently teaches yoga at Dellwood's 7 Vines winery. The 10-member board still has one vacancy after the September resignation of Birchwood's Paul Steinhauser. The conservation board is made up of two representatives from each of the five communities surrounding the lake. Formed by the state of Minnesota in 1971, the district has statutory authority to protect and preserve White Bear Lake. It meets at 7 p.m. the third Tuesday of the month at White Bear Lake City Hall.

LOOKING BACK Week of October 22 – October 28, 2017 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Area Historical Society. 1917 Our country’s telephone needs are served fi rst. At the entrance of this nation in the Great War, the Bell Telephone System pledged its entire service, its equipment and its employees, unreservedly, to the government. The government’s telephone calls are given right-of-way over private messages and government’s requirement for men, for switchboards, wire, telephones and other equipment are served ahead of private requests…. 1942 The White Bear Beach Parent-Teach Association will serve a ham dinner Sunday, at the school. Everyone can be assured of a tasty, delicious and bounteous dinner for this Beach organization is noted for its successes in whatever it undertakes… 1967 Giant sized pumpkins grown on his grandfather’s land at 3848 Scheuneman Road don’t scare tiny Todd Tevlin, 1 ½ year old grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tevlin. But a 65 pound beauty awes the little fellow. Grandfather Harry reports a bumper crop of jack-lantern pumpkins this year-larger and better than any previous year….

Former Press reporter Mark Nicklawske looks on as Scott Wilson launches his duck boat near the Matoska Boat Launch, 2009.

1992 Architect Bill Rust’s ice castle in downtown St. Paul was one of the hottest attractions in the country last year. This year downtown White Bear Lake may get one of its own. Rust unveiled his plans last Thursday night for an ice castle near the downtown depot that he hopes will attract up to 5,000 people to White Bear Lake during Winterfest, the city’s second annual winter festival planned for January 20-24… 2007 With only three public boat ramps on White Bear Lake, a soon-to-be completed improvement to one op-

erated by the city is sure to be a hit with boat enthusiasts. Matoska Park is getting a concrete ramp installed that will extend more than 20 feet into the water. The change will eliminate maintenance problems that stem from users revving their boat engines to maneuver onto trailers….. Looking Forward to the Past Upcoming Historical Society Events Holiday Tours at the Fillebrown House Saturday, December 2nd at 1 pm, 2 pm or 3 pm.

Loon Chronicles: A Happy Sequel “The Eagles are back and with a vengeance! The poor Coots continue to scramble and shake in fear as the Eagles hover above before dive bombing their flocks and scooping up breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although this morning was simply pristine, there was a sense of impending terror and destruction in the air. We suspect that the juvenile Loons know that their days of protective cover and diversion provided by the Coots soon will be coming to an end when the Coots gather to fly south in the next few weeks. The juvenile Loons took turns keeping a vigilant look out for the foraging Eagles. We counted five Eagles this morning. Not a pretty picture.”

Real estateTrends NO ‘I’ IN TEAM?!

Maybe I should say no ‘U’ in team! Many organizations tout the advantages of working with their ‘team’. Once you get involved with their ‘team’ you get tossed around like a ball! (Sorry for the play on words). Example, it’s like calling your cell phone, credit card, bank or other service companies and no one seems accountable to listening to or handling your concerns! No one-on-one, no personal

service and everyone passing the buck! Beyond the frustration, your time is important & valuable and you need to make the most of it, especially in today’s hectic world. Speaking from experience, I prefer working with one representative/agent that has a great support staff that is accountable for the actions of his staff. Accountability to make sure you have the best representation you deserve! One

be 13 kids. Merwin was the youngest.” And now Merwin’s brother’s great-grandson carries on the tradition. Along with contributing to Mahtomedi’s 7-1 football season this fall, Josh’s best sport is lacrosse. He’s played in two state tournaments and made all-state last spring on a team that reached the state semifinals. He’s also a hockey goalie. Josh is the lone football player in Joe and Rochelle’s family. There are three daughters: Johna, Lois and Lorraine. A post-script: When Joe played, the head coach was George Smith, who’s long retired, but three of the assistants — Ken Stevens, Joe Koscianski and Dan Destache — are all still on the job. “Josh thinks it’s pretty cool,” said Joe, “that they coached me and my brothers, and they’re still coaching on his team.”

After a first-round bye, they will host the winner of No. 4 Minneapolis Washburn vs. No. 5 St. Paul Central on Saturday at 1 p.m. The finals will held Nov. 3. The No. 2 and 3 seeds are Highland Park and Tartan. Anderson, zooming past the 1,000yard marker, averaged 16.5 yards in his 17 attempts, scoring four touchdowns, from 33, 13, five and 76 yards. The 5-foot-10, 160-pound senior has 1,213 yards and 14 touchdowns. Zephyr fullback Adam Olson broke off a 51-yard touchdown run along with a 3-yarder, totaling 91 yards in eight carries. Zach Kelsey got the final TD on a 13-yard run. The Zephyrs, ranked No. 7 in Class 5A, finished 3-1 in district play for second place behind South St. Paul, which handed them their lone loss 27-13.

Zephyrs, graduating in 1988. His brothers Jack Jr. (1986) and Jeff (1991) were middle linebackers. Jeff, sadly, was badly injured in a car accident in 1994 and passed away in 2007. Jack Sr., a 1959 graduate, played tackle both ways while dealing with a bum knee from a toboggan accident at age 12. His younger brother Bill (1965) was a backfield player. A three-sport athlete, Bill later pitched in college for Hamline. Not much is remembered about Merwin as a player, and he died in the 1970’s, so the old photo at The Flame was a very pleasant surprise. A large Campbell family moved from southwest Wisconsin to the Mahtomedi area somewhere around World War I, Jack Sr. said. “They had a farm. Later, my dad, Verlin, bought the place. There were 12, may-

Joe Campbell was dining at The Flame in Willernie when he noticed “a really cool football photo” on the wall this past August. Upon closer inspection, Campbell saw it was labeled as Mahtomedi’s first high school team in 1934 — and that one of the players named was Merwin Campbell, whom he recognized as his grandfather’s brother. That got him thinking. Joe played for Mahtomedi himself in the 1980s. He is currently watching his son in action for the Zephyrs. And he knew that his father and uncle played. “So, that’s four generations of Campbells in Mahtomedi football,” Joe realized. The second and third generations are currently enjoying the fourth. Josh Campbell, a senior wearing No. 1, plays cornerback and safety on defense, along with special teams (punt and kick coverage and some kick returns). The Zephyrs are 7-1 and will open playoffs Saturday. “I go to just about everything Josh is in,” said Jack Campbell Sr., who lives 60 miles away in Turtle Lake, Wisconsin. “That’s a lot. He’s in hockey and lacrosse, too.”

Audrey Sexson, Mahtomedi sophomore forward, sparked the Zephyr soccer team in their 6-0 win over Hill-Murray for the section championship Thursday with four assists and a goal. Her perfectly-placed corner kicks set up the Zephyrs’ ﬁrst two goals in the ﬁrst 15 minutes.

Zephyr girls rev up offense, storm back to state tournament

MAHTOMEDI SPORTS Zephyrs in state tennis this week in team, singles and doubles Mahtomedi’s defending state champion tennis team is playing in the state tournament this week as the No. 2 seed behind Edina. If both averted upsets, the Zephyrs and Hornets would meet today (Wednesday) at 4 p.m. in the fi nals at the University of Minnesota. See White Bear Press online for that result. The Zephyrs (18-1), playing in their fi fth straight state tournament, opened against Elk River on Tuesday, with the winners facing No. 3 St. Cloud Tech or Minnetonka in the semifi nals Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, the Zephyrs last week qualified a doubles team and two singles players for the state individuals tournament slated for Thursday and Friday. Their top two singles, Grace Riermann and Emily Fraser, teamed in doubles and cruised to the Section 4AA championship, while No. 3 and 4 players Anna Stutz and Lexi Harrod placed 1-2 in the singles. All four are seniors. Riermann placed third in the state the last two years with her sister Maggie. Riermann and Fraser, top-seeded, beat five duos in straight sets, capped by a 7-6 (6), 6-2 conquest of Roseville’s No. 2 seeded Vunnisa Vu and Nicole Ridenour. Stutz was top-seeded and posted five straight-set wins, including 6-3, 6-0 in the fi nals over No. 2 Harrod, who had four straight-set wins. In the semifi nals, Stutz beat White Bear Lake’s Elaine Franta 6-1, 6-1, while Harrod got past Roseville’s Hayley Helberg 7-6 (4), 6-1.

Look out for the Mahtomedi Zephyrs. They’ve got an offense now, too. The No. 5 ranked Zephyr girls are headed for the state soccer tournament after their 6-0 smackdown of No. 2 Hill-Murray, capping a dominating run through Section 4A, at home Thursday evening. “All our shots were going right where we wanted them,” beamed Lauren Heinsch, who put two powerful kicks into the net. “We were really connecting with each other.” Audrey Sexson provided four assists and a goal, and got the Zephyrs off to a great start, setting up two corner-kick goals in the first 15 minutes. The sophomore forward’s perfectly-placed deliveries were ‘headed’ into the net by Sonia Meyer and Ava Vander Louw. The Zephyrs, a five-time state champion in Class A, will take a 14-3-2 record into their 13th state trip. Seeded No. 3, they will open against Bemidji (14-5) on Wednesday, Oct. 25, at 5:30 p.m. The winner moves on to the semifinals at US Bank Stadium on Oct. 30 vs. Mankato West or North Branch. Against a formidable Hill-Murray team (12-2-5) whom they tied 0-0 a month ago, the Zephyrs were in charge for 80 minutes. Heinsch blasted a shot just under the bar from 30 yards out and Sexson scored on a rush to the net to make it 4-0 by halftime. Heinsch got another goal, grounding it past the goalie at full gallop, and Anna Wagner closed it out with a rebound goal. Goalie Megan Lisowy and the defenders repelled every Pioneer attack. Sexson, asked if the team has hit a lot of corner kicks, said, “Toward the end of the year we’ve been getting some.

We worked on them a lot in practice yesterday.” Most of the season, Mahtomedi wasn’t scoring much via any mode of attack, trying to get by on its marvelous defense, which has 14 shutouts in 19 games. In their first 15 games, the Zephyrs had just 22 goals, and were shut out five times — two 0-0 ties and three 1-0 losses. But they’ve outscored their last four opponents 34-0. Coach David Wald said the coaches “challenged” the girls late in the season about not getting the ball in the net often enough. “and I think they have responded quite a bit.” Mahtomedi beat Hastings 11-0 to close the regular season, then Mounds Park Academy 9-0 and Como Park 6-0 to get to Hill-Murray. That’s 34 goals in four games. The 23 section goals were spread among 12 players, led by Heinsch with five and Meyer with four. (They share the team lead with 11.) Makayla Firming and Megan Clements added two each, and Hannah Gorainick, Peyton Nelson, Abby Shultz, Erika Broten, Mickenzie Mireault, Vander Louw, Sexson and Wagner one each.

The Mahtomedi High School girls tennis team took ﬁrst in sections, go on to defend state title.

Mahtomedi boys soccer falls just short in state bid Mahtomedi had to settle for one state soccer tournament team this fall. The Zephyr boys were hoping to join the girls at state, with both top-seeded in Section 4A, but the boys were halted by No. 4 seed St. Paul Como Park 2-1 in the semifinals Oct. 17. Como Park got a penalty kick goal with six minutes left to break a 1-1 tie. “The game went well and we played well,” Zephyr coach Dominic Isaac said. “Just had a couple

bounces not go our way. It happens at playoffs. Como plays hard and doesn’t give up.” Adam Gralinski scored for the Zephyrs. Law Htoo and Kobby Owu countered for Como Park. Mahtomedi fi nished 12-4-2 including a 2-2 tie with Como Park in September. The Cougars (7-8-4), who had won five consecutive section titles, lost to St. Paul Harding 4-0 in the fi nals.

Bear girls place 4th in conference CC The White Bear Lake girls placed fourth in Suburban East Conference cross country, led by Maggie Blanding in third place on Oct. 17. Blending, an eighth-grader, hit the chute in 19:12, behind Mounds View’s Morgan Dahl (19:00) and Forest Lake’s Regan Duffy (19:03), at Tanners Brook Golf Course in Forest Lake. Blanding and junior Olivia Schwintek, in 12th place (20:10), made all-conference. Honorable mention were junior Josephine Moor in 21st (20:48) and freshman Natalie Andres in 25th (20:55). Also in the top five was junior Haley Miller in 32nd (21:03). Team scoring was Forest Lake 40, Roseville Area 68, Stillwater 73, White Bear Lake 93, East Ridge 107, Mounds View 160, Woodbury 182, Park of Cottage Grove 234 and Cretin-Derham Hall 291.

Bear runners honor mentor on T-shirt White Bear Lake cross country came up with a new motto recently: 1-800 Ask Gary. That’s what the boys and girls teams wore on new T-shirts to the conference meet on Oct. 17 in honor of their volunteer assistant coach Gary Wilson, a retiree after a great career coaching the Gophers. “Gary asked if he could help out with the team and I was ecstatic,” said boys coach Dan Kovacich about Wilson, a Stillwater resident who served the Bear track teams last spring as well. “Gary helps out with both the boys and girls teams. He bounces back and

forth. At the Milaca meet, I was trying to figure out how to honor him for all he has done. I was talking with the kids and they asked me a question. I said ‘Go ask Gary.’ At that point a light bulb went on.” The coach decided to put 1-800 Ask Gary on T-shirts. The kids wore them to surprise Wilson on Tuesday. Assistant coach Shawn Gritzmacher made the shirt design and head girls coach Patty Percival ordered them for both teams. “The kids were excited to honor him,” Kovacich said. Bruce Strand

Maggie Blanding of the Bears, on the way to third place in the SEC, had a half-step lead on Ava Wilson of team champion Forest Lake.

Bears have stellar meet but finish 2nd In boys cross country, White Bear Lake would win most of the conferences in the state. However, the Bears face a huge barrier in the Suburban East, and had to settle for second despite having seven runners making all-conference. The No. 2 ranked Stillwater Ponies, with a slightly-superior top five, out-strided the No. 5 Bears by a 40 to 52 margin at Forest Lake on Oct. 17. “We are getting closer. I just need to figure out about how to gain 6-10 more seconds on them,” said Bear coach Dan Kovacich about the Ponies, whom they’ll face again at sectionals, where the top two teams advance to state. It was all Stillwater and White Bear up front the whole race, with the Bears losing their edge in the last 1,000 meters. “We made a big jump from a year ago,” Kovacich said. “The kids believed and put in massive amounts of mileage over the summer. This in turn let us train them harder over the season. I am proud of their efforts.” Making all-conference were seniors Ben Vanderbosch in sixth place (16:26), Mike Rohlinger in seventh (16:28) and Jace Bartz in 12th (16:34), sophomores Isaac Maruyama in 13th (16:36) and sophomore Max Nelson in 14th (16:37), junior Tryg Solberg in 16th (17:13) and senior Jake Horvath in 17th (17:44). The top five on each team count in the team scoring while the top 18 overall make all-conference. Bruce Strand

Bears head into football playoffs White Bear Lake football finished an 0-8 regular season with a 31-19 loss at Mounds View on Oct. 18. The Bears will try to break through with an upset in the first round of sectionals Friday at Prior Lake (5-3). Most of the Bears’ offense came from quarterback Dan Lyons, who ran 14 times for 86 yards and a one-yard touchdown, and threw two TD passes after they fell behind 31-7. Lyons completed nine of 19 for 108 yards, hitting Blake Charles (11 yards) and Alex Aitken (10 yards) for

touchdowns in the final quarter. Zach Griebel, the Bears’ rushing leader, was held to 37 yards in 12 attempts. The Bears totaled 151 yards rushing. Down 17-7 at halftime, the Bears suffered a key turnover on their first series of the second half as Mustang linebacker Chase Dressel sacked Lyons and forced a fumble, leading to a short touchdown drive for a 24-7 edge.

Relined sewer pipe ‘good’ for another 50 years BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — When public improvements are made, somebody has to pay for it. In the case of a southeast area sewer relining project, that “somebody” is 452 residential units, five commercial sites and, in part, the township. The Town Board approved an assessment roll for the project during its Oct. 16 meeting. The total cost of the project will be nearly $1.25 million. The town will pay about $30,000 of that, with the rest coming from residential and commercial property owners. This includes residents on South Shore Boulevard, Bellaire Avenue, Homewood Avenue, Lakewood Avenue, County Road F, Ralph Street, Arbor Drive, Hillaire Road, Summit Lane, Forest Court, Glen Oaks Avenue, Birch Knoll Drive, Portland Avenue, Martin Way, East County Line Road, Randy Avenue, Stacker Boulevard, Stacker Place, Effress Road and Roth Place. Each residential unit will owe $2,500, payable over 10 years. If residents pay the entire assessment before Nov. 15, no interest will be charged. The clay pipe that was relined has been in place since 1965. “We are set for another 50 years,” Town Engineer Jim Studenski said during the meeting.

Sticks replacing bats at Podvin Park BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

The popularity of lacrosse is prompting changes at Podvin Park in White Bear Lake. “Softball is waning,” observed City Engineer Mark Burch, “and lacrosse players needed a home.” The Parks Commission agreed Podvin was the best place for more lacrosse fields, so softball diamonds are making way for turf. Earlier this month workers started scooping up crushed rock from the softball fields and putting it in piles to begin grading for three new lacrosse fields. The White Bear Lacrosse Club is paying for the renovation through fundraisers and sponsorships. Outdoor Innovations Landscaping out of Hugo is donating $5,000 worth of excavation and irrigation work, noted Mark Woodcock, boys director and past club president, and others have stepped up to volunteer and raise money.

The association ponied up $30,000 for the initial work on converting the fields and will spend another $50,000 for fencing and concrete work. They've already raised most of the money, knowing this day would come. “It's very exciting to see things come along,” said Woodcock. “We've been working on this since 2012 and, finally, here we are.” The lacrosse teams did have access to Louricas Fields next to North Campus, but in the spring, 80 percent of the time they are under water or too wet to mow. It often meant canceling practices and games, Woodcock added. Membership in the youth association consists of 7through 15-year-olds and has grown steadily the last five years. In 2012, the roster had 134 members; in 2016 there were 220 youth. “It's one of the biggest associations in the state,” according to Woodcock, who teaches ninthgrade health at North High School in North St. Paul. On behalf of the association, the board member said he had to plug the city, Mark Burch, the Parks Commis-

Paul Auger home at last “Home is where the heart is,” wrote Allison Auger Oct. 14 in an update on her dad's CaringBridge site. After 10 long months in hospitals and rehabilitation centers, Paul Auger, former mayor of White Bear Lake and longtime owner of Auger's Garage, was fi nally released from The Courage Center in Golden Valley. Daughter Allison, who did much of the blogging for Augie's Doggies on the site, recalled the day her dad was taken by ambulance to St. John's Hospital. He couldn't move and had a hard time breathing. After thorough testing, Auger was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome and was paralyzed from the neck down. “It had completely taken over my dad's body and no one seemed to know much about this syndrome,” Allison wrote. From St. John's, Auger went to Bethesda and, after Easter, was transferred to The Courage Center for daily therapy. He was set to come home last month when he suffered a blood clot in his leg and lung. It was one more setback Allison said her father met with grit and determination. As she drove to the facility one last time that Saturday, Allison retraced the 10 months in her mind — “each painstaking step and every hurdle crossed.” “It dawned on me,” she said, “that although this is about my dad and his journey, there was one, very important key to all of this — my mom, his wife, Anne Auger.

“Many people don't have to test the 'in sickness and in health' part of their marriage vows,” Allison noted. “I saw the most amazing example of love that I have ever personally witnessed. My mom was there by my dad's side day in and day out. She gave him sponge baths, groomed him, set up hospital room haircuts, kept everyone abreast of dad's daily progress, assisted in his therapies and navigated the daunting task of insurance coverage and mounting hospital bills. She has been an amazing caregiver to a man she has been married to for 36 years and has always been our strength in this family of girls. “It was through this last 10-month journey that I discovered what unwavering support, love and selflessness looks like. I thank God every day for allowing me to see fi rsthand what true love looks like.” When they got him home, Paul Auger was settled into his favorite chair to watch NASCAR, his favorite sport. “Mom was busy in the kitchen making tuna melts for lunch while Winston was laying on dad's lap,” Allison said. “He is happy to be home and over the moon with mom's amazing home-cooked meals. He says it will be a long time until he enjoys chicken again since they had that nearly every day at the Courage Center.” Her dad asked her to share his progress on a journal entry the week before his release. Allison reported that he is walking more and more each day. He says, however, he

MAHTOMEDI — The City Council took the following action at its Oct. 17 meeting: • Awarded the contract for the Neptune Street crosswalk improvements to Pember Companies of Menomonie, Wisconsin, in the amount of $35,000. The engineer's estimate for the project was $44,060, and the city received three quotes. The project includes pedestrian ramps, signage, a trail connection, groundin pavement markings, a specialized shallow culvert for crossing the ditch by the existing trail, and restoration. This project is eligible to receive State Aid funding, pending approval of the design. • Approved a request from the property owners of 1502 Bryant Ave. and 115 Kenwood St. for a minor lot split and lot combination of the vacant property adjacent to each of them, per the Planning Commission's recommendation. No new lots will be created at the location in the R1-D – single-family residential zoning district. “I'm happy there has been a friendly resolution,” Councilwoman Lael Ramaley said before moving to approve the request. • Approved a request for a variance from the required lot area in order to construct a single-family house on a parcel located in the 1100 block of Summit Avenue in the R1-E low-density residential zone. At 4,826 square feet, the lot is 1,414 square feet smaller than the minimum lot size of 6,240 square feet. A minimum lot size is required by ordinance for a pre-existing lot in the zoning district to be considered buildable. After holding a public hearing on this variance request on Oct. 11, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval. • Hired six probationary paid on-call firefighter/EMTs for the Mahtomedi Fire Department staff, contingent on candidates passing various assessments and checks. None of the candidates has firefighting experience, so training should take some time, Chief Terry Fischer said. However, once on board,

the candidates should help with some of the department's staffing issues, he said. The six employees-to-be are not expected to have a great impact on the budget and will be compensated the same as the current employees at their level of training. • Approved a change order in the amount of $1,655 to Peterson Companies Inc. of Chisago City for Triangle Park improvements, which includes added sprinkler heads near the sidewalk along Mahtomedi Avenue. This change order shows a net increase of 6 percent from the original contract of $29,100. • Approved the second change order in the amount of $3,100 to Peterson Companies and final project closeout documents for Triangle Park improvements. This change order includes payment for the first change order. • Scheduled a special council meeting for Nov. 14 at 5 p.m. to canvass ballots from the Nov. 7 municipal election. • Approved a maintenance agreement with the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) for the revised location of a sump manhole within Phase II of the Historic District improvements at the intersection of Park Avenue and Elm Street. An existing sump storm sewer manhole located east of that intersection on private property was abandoned, and a new sump manhole was constructed within the Park Avenue right of way at Elm Street. The relocation was necessary to provide access to public works staff for routine maintenance and cleaning. The RCWD requires a maintenance agreement with the city for the new structure. • Adjourned to a closed session, as allowed by law, for an attorney-client privileged discussion to draft litigation pleadings related to the recent trail destruction at 969 and 970 Pineview Court. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 6, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

NAMES IN THE NEWS White Bear Lake artist Frank Zeller won Best in Show at the NorthStar Watermedia National Juried Exhibi-

SUBMITTED

“Winter Light” by Frank Zeller

tion with his painting “Winter Light.” Juror David Feinberg, professor of art at the University of Minnesota, and an award-winning artist and curator, handed out the award at the exhibition’s Oct. 15 reception and awards ceremony. In his comments, Feinberg expressed his admiration of the painting: “It’s obvious this artist had a plan, but how he applied it was spontaneous. He made decisions and made his mark —it’s a masterpiece.” Accepting the award, Zeller marveled he had been painting for 50 years and this was the first time he won Best in Show. The March of Dimes’ 2017 Minnesota Mental Health Nurse of the Year is a local resident: Marie Mortek of White Bear Township. She was honored at the Radisson Blu in Bloomington earlier

this month. Mental health is Mortek’s passion. She has served as an inpatient psychiatric registered nurse at Regions Hospital for the past 37 years, initially as a staff nurse, then clinical educator and nurse manager. “Mental illness is a treatable condition and remission is best maintained when patients consistently take the correct medications. Many times, people treat their symptoms with alcohol or street drugs because the stigma of seeking psychiatric help is so negative. This only compounds their situation and contributes to unnecessary physical complications as well,” Mortek said. She earned her master’s degree in health care administration in 2008 and is certified in mental health and psychiatric nursing. She is a St. Paul native and has lived in White Bear since 1979.
