Autumn apple run
Runners make their way along one of the trails winding through Pine Tree Apple Orchard during the 30th Annual Run for the Apples Saturday morning, Oct. 22. The five mile run/walk, presented by White Bear Lake-based FrontRunner Events, follows a scenic and challenging route up and down the hills at the orchard located in Dellwood.
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Emily Onyeaghala remembers her son Chukwudi Benjamin would always give her a hug when they came home and ask her, “How was work today?” “Whenever I remember that, I will say, “Oh my goodness, how will I get that back again?” Benjamin, 19, went missing near Winona State University Oct. 7 and his body was found in the Mississippi River near Winona Oct. 18. Benjamin was in his second year of Benjamin Onyeaghala studying exercise and rehabilitative sciences at Winona State, reported the university. Emily said Benjamin had dreams to go on and get a master's in a similar field at Hamline University. Benjamin graduated from White Bear Lake High School in 2015 and was part of the state wrestling team that year. He joined the team as a junior with no prior wrestling experience, Emily said. His senior year, he went to the state tournament. “He worked his tail off and earned a spot on SEE MISSING, PAGE 8A
Priest makes appeal: Don’t forget Haiti BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Fr. Ralph Talbot worries that people will forget the devastation that struck Haiti yet again, when Hurricane Matthew slammed into an area near and dear to his heart. The monster storm destroyed dormitories for the elderly and damaged a school that parishioners of St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church dedicated only last March. That school, located in Marfranc, is named after Cecelia Duffy, a 12-year-old White Bear Lake girl who died in 2012 while undergoing treatment for acute myeloid leukemia. As he prepares to leave Oct. 26 for the Western Hemisphere’s poorest country,
Fr. Talbot reminded church members that Haiti is desperate for help. “I want Haiti to remain on people’s minds,” the priest said. “It’s already fallen off the front page.” St. Mary’s mission to Haiti traces back to a long-ago connection with a priest named Fr. Bernard Reiser. Ordained in 1949, the White Bear Lake parish was Reiser’s first assignment. He visited Haiti in 1996 and after seeing the profound poverty the cleric established an organization called Reiser Relief, which provides relief, hope and dignity to the poor, elderly and homeless people of Haiti. It funds education and housing and provide food and clean water to women, children and SEE HAITI, PAGE 9A

Follow the money
I
F YOU FEEL like I do, going to the voting booth in the next few weeks to cast an intelligent vote will be difficult. Some of you may have already voted in absentia. You may also feel we have a difficult task in correcting the course our nation is taking. When you take a long look at our nation and the many problems it is facing you must wonder, like I do, if our leaders are truly representing us or are they self-serving and only gaining wealth and power? An effective democracy can be a two-party system but it About the must debate the issues and reach a compromise of what is Town going to be best for the constituents. I don’t think our governGene ment is functioning that way Johnson anymore. The root of this problem is that money is driving the elections. This includes the money by donors and lobbyists rather than true representation of the individual voter or citizen by the elected officials. In a complex nation like ours it is very difficult to be informed on all of the issues. I remember a number of years ago spending a day with Senator Rudy Boschwitz. I asked Rudy, “How do you stay on top of all the bills that come before you and hold all of the government agencies accountable?” He frankly said, “We can’t, we don’t.” I think it is difficult for the voters today to be well-informed. The mainstream media is doing a lousy job at explaining the issues to the voters. Look at all the sensationalism being thrown at us about this presidential election and the candidates. We are not being told the background on the major issues we are faced with. For example: a crippled federal health care program, an infrastructure that’s deteriorating and VA hospitals that are second or third rate in providing health care for our veterans, skyrocketing college tuition, widespread fear of terrorism and thousands of displaced people and children from the war-torn countries. The economy is also slow to recover from the last recession. The loss of good paying jobs going overseas. Service jobs grew but at a much slower wage rate. An informed electorate should correct the wrongs. It may be very slow in the process. At the moment I am not very optimistic about America’s future. We need to control the money spent by candidates running for office. We may have to limit terms. We need media to provide us with more in-depth information about the issues and we need a public who wants to be informed rather than entertained. Do your part and vote! Prior to and once the election is over do all you can to stay informed and communicate with Congress and with our political leaders on the federal, state and local levels. Give them your opinion. It counts. Our country appears to be unraveling at the seams. We are moving from capitalism to socialism and perhaps that’s the desire of America’s population. I treasure our freedoms, this land of opportunity, justice and free enterprise. We have enjoyed the blessings of liberty. Let’s work together to preserve what our founding leaders set in place a couple hundred years ago. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Skip raking this fall
W
hat if someone told you that you could skip raking your leaves this fall? Sam Bauer, an assistant professor for Minnesota Extension, is spreading to word to weary Minnesotans everywhere – raking your leaves is a waste of time, do something else with your energy. It turns out that raking leaves off of your lawn can actually be counter-produc“The leaves Movers & tive. have organic matter in them,” Shakers Bauer said in an Angie Hong interview with the Washington Post. “You’re adding good organic matter to your soil when you’re not picking them up.” Instead of raking, Bauer recommends that you mow your lawn a few times as the leaves are falling to break them up into little pieces that decompose more rapidly. If you have a very heavy coating of leaves, you may need to remove some and add them to your gardens or compost pile, but the rest can be shredded and left where they are. Leaves contain vital nutrients like phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium that turf grass and other plants need to grow. In fact, these nutrients are the exact same ones
It turns out that raking leaves off of your lawn can actually be counter-productive. found in compost and commercial fertilizers. Leaves, however, are free and readily available to most Minnesota homeowners. During the course of the winter, the leaves decompose under the snow and release nutrients into the soil. In addition, research at Michigan State University suggests that leaf litter can help to suppress weeds like dandelions from growing the next spring. On their own test plots at the University of Minnesota, Extension experts like Bauer have found that mulching your leaves in the fall, as well as leaving grass clippings on the lawn during the rest of the year, provides enough nutrients to replace one standard application of fertilizer per year. While the nutrients in leaves might be good for your lawn, they can still spell trouble for local wetlands, lakes, rivers and streams when they end up in the street. Leaves wash into storm drains that connect to local waterways, and the phosphorus and nitrogen released feeds algae in the water. This contributes to
more algae blooms and poorer water quality the next summer. In addition, fall rains can turn leaves in the street into a soggy mess that clogs up storm drains and contributes to localized flooding. Some people make the mistake of dumping their leaves into nearby wetlands or ravines that drain to rivers and streams, because it seems like an easy and natural way to get rid of them. Instead, the leaves send a pulse of nutrients into the wetlands and streams and can make the water turn green and slimy in the spring. For this reason, most cities have ordinances that prohibit residents from dumping leaves and other yard waste into wetlands and buffer areas. So why do so many people rake their lawns each fall if it’s actually better to leave the leaves there? According to Bauer, people tend to do things out of habit regardless of whether they’re actually useful. “Everyone thinks that your lawn needs to be watered every other day, too,” he said. My advice? Skip raking the lawn and use your energy to sweep the leaves off of the driveway and out of your street instead. Also, you still need to eat your broccoli.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Good news on Tour De Bar nominee Nominee Owen Meyer's mother Cherlyn sent me a progress update after Owen's MRI Oct. 19. Here is what she said: "Update on my little man, Super Owen: We had another MRI yesterday and the results are in. Owen's tumor has shrunk 30 percent from his original scan; yep that's right, I said 30 percent. Thanks to everyone for your continued thoughts, prayers and support. I am so excited that we are moving in the right direction. My hope as a mother is and always will be that my children are able to live a full and healthy life. Our family couldn't be happier to be sharing this news." Mike Shearen 2016 Tour De Bar Benefit Chair White Bear Lake
Chamberlain hit nail on head I enjoyed Sen. Roger Chamberlain's recent column about the vision of the two parties. He hit the nail on the head, and I'm glad he has spent his years in office fighting for a government that gets off our backs. Spend a few minutes talking to Chamberlain and you'll understand how down to earth he is. He is a hardworking, regular middle-class guy who shares our values. Sen. Chamberlain is the only candidate in this race with specific solutions to deliver meaningful tax relief and a comprehensive, long-term transportation plan that doesn't raise our taxes. He and his colleagues have offered several solutions to fix our broken health insurance market (not to mention the fact they were screaming from the rooftops as Democrats introduced MNsure, the program that has destroyed health care in Minnesota). And he has stood up for issues that affect our local communities, like the falling water level of White Bear Lake. During his time in office, Chamberlain has repeatedly been a strong advocate for working families, not big government or big business. He is on our side, and I'm proud to support him. Tim Johnson White Bear Lake
Best interests of community I would like to offer enthusiastic support for Sen. Chuck Wiger to continue representing our district. When Birchwood was facing challenges due to a sex offender moving into the neighborhood, Sen. Wiger was deliberate and thoughtful in his support of our community. He attended community meetings and talked with residents on a regular basis, taking time to ensure that he was informed and could support our city in any way he was able. I also got to know Sen. Wiger through his role as the Chair of the Senate Education Committee. As an educator, there was one issue in particular that was of concern to the educational audience I serve, and I began to politely badger Sen. Wiger about it. Despite all the other pressing responsibilities on his plate, Sen. Wiger took time to meet with me several times, learned about the issue, and went out on a limb to advocate in the best interests of teachers. I believe that Sen. Wiger has the best interests of our community at heart, and within the last year, he has proven it a number of times over. He is an accessible, sincere legislator, and I'm excited to vote for him on Nov. 8. Jessica Ellison Birchwood
Candidate has depth of experience We have a wonderful opportunity in Birchwood Village to elect a mayor who promotes transparency in government and has the proven ability to build community through collaboration and cooperation. Twenty-five years in corporate and nonprofit organizations provides a depth of experience for may-
oral candidate Kathy Blegen-Huntley. How lucky we are that Kathy wants to use that valuable expertise in service to Birchwood Village. Please join me in voting for Kathy Blegen-Huntley for mayor on Nov. 8. Mary Hauser Birchwood
government panels, such as Washington County's Citizen Review Panel for Child Protection and the Citizens Advisory Committee. We enthusiastically recommend Cheryl Anderson as Washington County Commissioner for District 2. David and Kirsten Jann Birchwood
Strong voice for northeast metro
The big deal in Grant
Jason Isaacson has been a strong voice for the northeast metro as our state representative for District 42B since 2012. He is now well experienced to represent District 42 in the state Senate. We are grateful for his role in securing funding for important transportation projects in our region and improving safety at rail crossings. Jason is fiscally responsible and voted to reduce property taxes, reduce income taxes for middle-class families, and helped pass $345 million in tax cuts for employers (the largest business tax cut in state history). Jason believes strongly in creating good-paying jobs for Minnesotans, and he has voted to raise Minnesota’s minimum wage to help low-wage workers rise out of poverty. He supports expanding job skills training and education and rebuilding our infrastructure to create jobs and provide necessary transportation improvements that our businesses are asking for to move goods and people. Jason also supported the Women’s Economic Security Act, which promotes equal pay for equal work, enhances protections for victims of domestic violence, strengthens workplace protections for pregnant women, and helps women develop skills needed to obtain high-wage jobs in fields in which they are underrepresented. As a dad and an educator, Jason is enthusiastic about our state’s future and our children. His dedication and hard work in the Legislature, as well as his record of working in concert with the city governments of our region, are well known. Let’s elect him to the Minnesota Senate to keep him working for us! Lisa Wersal Vadnais Heights
Advocates for public education As educators and parents, it is important to us that our elected officials have a real commitment to our youth and future generations. We have lived in the northeast metro area for 24 years and have had the opportunity to work closely with Sen. Chuck Wiger and Rep. Peter Fischer. They have proven to be strong advocates who work hard for public education and to protect the environment. More than ever, we need them in the Minnesota Legislature. Pam and Jeff Ledermann Mahtomedi
Cheryl Anderson for County Commissioner We recommend electing Cheryl Anderson as Washington County Commissioner in District 2. We have lived in Birchwood for over 15 years and have known Cheryl, her husband and her kids during that entire time period. Cheryl and her family are nice and thoughtful people, good neighbors, and our kids have been friends for many years. Cheryl cares very much about the well-being of families and the ability of families to provide for themselves through good jobs, good transportation and good schools. Cheryl is a big supporter of the proposed Gold Line Corridor to help facilitate better transportation in Washington County. She owns her own social service company through which she advocates for the needs of our citizens. Over the years, Cheryl has volunteered a lot of her time to serving on various local
What's the big deal about this election in Grant? Well, the answer is simple math, referred to as 3 to 2 voting power. Right now the 3 to 2 balance favors the good responsible councilpeople who have fought hard to keep Grant as it is with low taxes and low-cost services. That is why you have seen the three signs for Jeff Huber, Tom Carr and Denny Kaup together all around Grant. We do not want to see that balance change in this election. All three need to be elected. What happens if just one of the other candidates win one position? Then the 3 to 2 balance reverses and, in effect, Larry Lanoux will be running the city. Just like Lake Elmo, our city staff will be decimated, our contractors will be adversely affected and spending will increase, which then results in taxes increasing. Dumb things like a Charter Commission may even reappear. If keeping Grant — Grant is important to you, please don't change it. Vote Jeff Huber for mayor and vote for Tom Carr and Denny Kaup as councilmen. That is how you protect Grant. Robert Tufty Grant
Supports Anderson for District 2 With the election only weeks away, I'd like to encourage readers to vote for Cheryl Anderson in the race for District 2 County Commissioner. A 16-year Birchwood resident, Cheryl is a tested and experienced advocate, proven leader, and involved resident looking forward to representing our interests in Washington County. Cheryl is dedicated to making informed, thoughtful decisions about our government. She listens. She cares. And she will work tirelessly to represent everyone in Washington County. In her professional life, she's a relentless advocate working daily to find people employment. As our County Commissioner, she'd bring that same passion to help Washington County run as efficiently as possible. Vote Cheryl. Carly Nelson Birchwood
Time for new leaders in Grant Jaime Benner, Sandra Knaeble and I are running for new leadership in Grant. We are mothers, college educated and business owners. I am a 30-year resident of Grant, graduate of Mahtomedi High. I believe in transparency in government, and every citizen has the right to participate and ask questions. It is my vision to spend our tax dollars to best benefit the citizens. I will take a common-sense approach to serve Grant citizens’ best interests, keep the Town Hall open for free speech, welcome our youth groups and local civic groups that wish to utilize our Town Hall. My opponent has earmarked a 389 percent increase in “legal complaint” fees for 2017. This unprecedented amount of spending on attorney and consultant fees, $152K in 2015, is not in the best interest of the citizens of Grant. Many citizens of Grant live on roads that are falling apart with no repair plan in sight. The squabbles and personal vendettas established between current councilmembers Tom Carr, Jeff Huber, Larry Lanoux and Loren Sederstrom is costing Grant residents time, money and opportunity. In May, the League of Women Voters cited the entire City Council as unprofessional and dysfunctional. Carr and Huber served
on the City Council majority for the last 12 and 8 years, respectively; Lanoux and Sederstrom have served in the council minority for only two years. The dysfunction started many years before Lanoux and Sederstrom were elected. It would be shortsighted to believe that all of the city’s legal and behavior issues are at the fault of the council minority. If the dysfunction isn’t corrected, this will cost our citizens an increase in our insurance liability deductible. The citizens of Grant should have their money spent in a way that will benefit all of us. Shannon Bryant Grant
Former commissioners support Karwoski As former Washington County commissioners, we are writing to ask that residents of Washington County Commissioner District 2 vote for Stan Karwoski. Stan will bring strong leadership and work to enhance our quality of life in Washington County. Stan's long experience in community service, as a mayor and council member, his ability to work with people, his knowledge of the workings of government and his enthusiasm for the job will make Stan an excellent commissioner.

Strong advocate for education As a teacher and a parent of schoolaged children, I was looking for a state leader to help fight for a change that would benefit educators and our children. I contacted Sen. Chuck Wiger, and I knew right away I found a senator who was willing to hear the concerns of an educator and who understood the importance of education. I appreciate his persistence and willingness to help make a change to a statute that would benefit educators across the state of Minnesota. Senator Wiger is a strong supporter of our state’s education programs, our schools, our students and the educators throughout our communities. Sen. Wiger is easily accessible, responds quickly to questions, is easy to talk to and he truly listens to the concerns of the people who contact him. I appreciate Senator Wiger’s support this past year, his knowledge of education, and his promise of fighting for and supporting educators. He has kept his promise and together we were able to make a change to the state statute regarding Open Enrollment. I look forward to working with Sen. Wiger in the future, as he is a great fit for our community and our schools. Gina Loosbrock Birchwood
Counter to change claims I am writing in response to the groundless and unsubstantiated claims that I want to “corrupt or change our beautiful city in the country.” In fact, I am running for City Council because I have a positive vision for the future of Grant. I am a concerned citizen and hobby farmer who wants to keep Grant essentially as it is: Green and Rural. This will, I believe, take work. It will take a City Council that is more transparent, more accountable, and more open to the goals and concerns of Grant’s citizens. The dysfunctional City Council we now have makes Grant vulnerable to the sorts of changes afflicting Lake Elmo. The citizens of Grant deserve better.

Charges dropped in missing woman case VADNAIS HEIGHTS — Second-degree murder charges for Timothy James Barr, of Lakeville, regarding missing Vadnais Heights woman Michelle Newell were dismissed Oct. 19. The charges were dismissed since Newell's body has not yet been found and jurisdiction is in question, the Ramsey County Attorney's Office has reported to media. Once jurisdictional questions are answered, charges could be refiled. Newell was last seen and heard from on Aug. 29. According to the complaint, Newell had allegedly been accidentally run over by a car and killed by Barr, and he had allegedly dumped her body in a farm building in South Dakota. Barr was arrested Sept. 20 and remains behind bars. Barr did plead guilty to fleeing police in a vehicle at the hearing Oct. 19, media has reported. The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office reported he could be sentenced to prison for 19 months. The sentencing will be held Nov. 19. Barr has 10 prior felony convictions, many of which are drug-related.

and footsteps in his yard have led to the calls, but nothing untoward has been found. Investigators have no doubt that the frightened man’s calls are sincere, and continue to look into the matter.
• A “rearview mirror-backup assist camera combination” was stolen from the inside of a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee the afternoon of Oct. 12 at a car repair business in the 1400 block of Buerkle Road. There was no sign of forced entry. The device was valued at $800. • An employee at WalMart — now an ex-employee — was charged with using a “price match scam” Oct. 12 to steal a number of items amounting to $245. The 29-year-old woman from Little Canada admitted to the crime and was cited for theft. • Responding to a report of a “suicidal male” the morning of Oct. 15, deputies lent a calming influence and transported the “cooperative” 18-year-old to a local hospital for an examination. • A 65-year-old man was found deceased in the pre-dawn hours of Oct. 16 in the 4000 block of Whiton Avenue. The man, who had been in ill health, died of natural causes, according to family members. • A pair of Oakley sunglasses, valued at $400 according to the victim, were stolen from a ’98 Chevrolet Monte Carlo parked overnight in the driveway of a residence in the 4300 block of Buckingham Court Oct. 16. There was no sign of forced entry. • We’ve all heard unexplained noises in the night and learned to ignore them, hoping they are just that — but for an elderly man who lives alone (address not released by request), those noises have resulted in 41 911 calls over the past 10 months. The sounds of knocking on doors
• A man opened an account at Cub Foods on Meadowlands Drive on Oct. 10 but then apparently decided, “What the heck, I’ll just steal the $99 fi re pit ring” he had his eye on. Between the account opening details at the service counter and the video of the 34-year-old walking out with the fi re pit ring, it was an easy citation to issue and mail to the thief’s home address. • On the morning of Oct. 11, a juvenile male assaulted another juvenile male at N.E. Metro School District 916. The instigator was transported home, released to a parent and is looking at a fi fth-degree assault charge. • Persuaded over the internet Oct. 13 to purchase a $300 “antitheft software package,” an 80-yearold woman promptly became a theft victim. Her computer began to slow, fi nally locking up, with her last message saying to contact “Mr. Parker in Florida for tech support.” Instead, the woman, smelling a rat, called the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office. A technician was able to unlock the victim’s computer and the case was turned over to the FBI. According to the FBI, the “tech support” scam has resulted in losses nationally to victims during the fi rst four months of this year of $2,268,000. • The 68-year-old owner of a male Lab-husky mix with a known history of attacking people at St. Mary’s Cemetery on Stillwater Street to the point where they are afraid to get out of their vehicles, was issued a citation Oct. 14 for “dog at large.”
The Ramsey County Sheriff Department reported the following incidents:
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP
• A 2000 Polaris ATV four-wheeler was last seen Oct. 15 behind a garage in the 5200 block of Bald Eagle Boulevard. • A man returning home to the 4100 block of Oakmede Lane the night of Oct. 16 found a sliding glass door wide open and his bedroom ransacked. A closer look revealed a lower-level screen cut and a window opened. Missing were credit cards and jewelry valued between $4,000 and $5,000. His stolen credit cards have been offered for payment at three places so far, but the transactions have been declined. • A juvenile male faces pending gross misdemeanor fourth-degree assault and disorderly conduct charges for assaulting a staff member at N.E. Metro School District 916 on Oct. 17. The youth was released to a parent. • A homeowner interrupted a burglary in the 5400 block of Otter View Court the evening of Oct. 17 when he returned from a two-hour trip. Entrance had been made by breaking through a garage service door. The residence was ransacked and an audio receiver and speakers were piled near the front door but nothing, at fi rst glance, appeared to be missing. • According to his Oct. 18 debit card statement, the card still in his possession, a 52-year-old man recently bought a tank of gas, went to a movie and did a little shopping — all amounting to $350 and all of it news to him. An investigation is underway. • A juvenile male was charged with obstructing the legal process for resisting the school resource officer at N.E. Metro School District 916 Oct. 18. The youth also faces a pending charge of fourth-degree assault against a female staff member at the school. He was transported to the Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center.

Presents Workforce Success Stories: Showcasing Careers in Manufacturing and Skilled Trades HIGH PERFORMING ASSOCIATE PURSUES DEGREE, ADVANCES CAREER By Nicola Kelley Hyser Kevin Gunderson went to work in the manufacturing field right after high school. He became a valuable associate by applying himself, learning on the job and eagerly contributing. He enjoyed school, but was not interested in attending college until a few years ago. Fellow associates and advancement opportunities changed his mind … “I’ve become a good student because of my mentors at Innovize. Through position changes and the knowledge gained, I’ve become more invested in the business side and have wanted to improve and learn more. I’m now working toward my Business Administration degree at Century College.” Gunderson began his career with Innovize in 1995, when he was hired to be an inspector in the printing department then advanced to a press operator in several departments before applying to be an estimator/job planner in 2008. He says, “I continually pushed myself to acquire new knowledge and skills from those who had more experience than myself and eagerly requested more
responsibilities. Also, I frequently volunteered in other departments, which further expanded my knowledge and technical skills.” Innovize, a contract manufacturer in the medical industry, is located in Vadnais Heights; it offers product development and manufacturing services for personal care, patient care, diagnostics and the electronics markets. Its clientele includes 19 of the top 25 medical device companies worldwide as well as start-ups.

Million dollar question: What does USGS study show? BY DEBRA NEUTKENS WHITE BEAR EDITOR
ST. PAUL — The long-awaited U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) report on lake levels in the Northeast Metro was released Oct. 19 by lead hydrologist Perry Jones; at least the fi rst half of the study. Part two is expected late January. A day prior to the official release, Jones presented his fi ndings at the Minnesota Water Resources Conference at St. Paul’s River Centre. In the room were representatives of both sides of the lake level lawsuit between the White Bear Lake Restoration Association (WBLRA) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Both parties have been patiently waiting for the USGS fi ndings, which looked at groundwater and surface water exchanges in Northeastern lakes between 2002 and 2015. It has been the contention of the WBLRA that municipal pumping is impacting lake level and changing the ecology of White Bear Lake. The non-profit group, along with the lake homeowners association, sued the DNR, the agency responsible for appropriating water permits to municipalities. The case goes to trial in March with both sides hoping to use the USGS report to sway the judge. What their expert witnesses will glean from the research remains to be seen. For now, Jones and his team concluded the following: • The physical setting of lakes, including elevation, underlying geology and surrounding land use, is the most significant driver of lake level changes. • Of 96 lakes analyzed, not all responded similarly to weather and groundwater pumping. White Bear Lake is especially sensitive to lake level changes because of its unique deep-water outlets. These deep water outflows are uncommon in Minnesota lakes, Jones said, and make the lake uniquely sensitive to water level declines. Jones doesn’t know how fast water is flowing out into the aquifer below. “What is happening is we’re seeing a large contribution of surface water in wells down-gradient or south of White Bear Lake,” he said. “It indicated water coming from the lake is going downward, into the well stream and is taken up.” Jones and his co-workers sampled 40 wells in October of 2014 to determine the percentage contribution of surface water. What they found was a variety. Some wells are totally groundwater with little interaction with surface water and some were almost all surface water (see map).
Researchers also could distinguish sites that had trapped gases present. “Areas with trapped gases had much thicker organic sediments. We did not fi nd much groundwater/ surface water interaction in those areas,” Jones said. “Sections that had little (trapped) gas and more permeable sediments were places we found interactions and potential for downward flow. We could use these seismic signals to look for potential for groundwater and surface water to be exchanged.” Water level changes in White Bear Lake have been the largest of the northeast metro lakes monitored since 1925, Jones told conference attendees. “Our study showed that water is flowing out of the lake at deeper depths, and this may be contributing to larger water-level changes.” • Closed basin lakes like White Bear Lake had more significant lake level declines than flow-through lakes with an outlet. • When closed basin lake levels increased or decreased, groundwater levels reflected those changes. • Lake level declines were larger in higher-elevation areas. The higher the elevation, the more variability. White Bear Lake is on the top of a hill so it has less (storm) water flowing into it. None of those conclusions were particularly earth shattering to White Bear Lake City Engineer Mark Burch. “Many of the conclusions were things we already know,” he said. “Perry just proves them in the research.” Burch emphasized that he is still perusing the 100-page report, but at this point, has not learned much. When asked if the well samples showing a high percentage of surface water means people are drinking lake water, Burch stressed that it was important not to jump to conclusions. “I’ve given this a lot of thought,” he said. “Yes, surface water appears to be in certain wells, but when did the water enter the ground? Every drop of water in the ground was on the surface at one time. “In the report, Perry says water entered the ground from the ‘40s to the mid ‘70s. That’s at least 45 years ago. What effect did that water have on lake level? The lake has gone up and down many times since then. People need to understand that before they conclude that 50 percent of the water in our wells is coming out of the lake. “We may be drinking lake water but it has been there at least since
SUBMITTED
the ‘70s,” Burch noted. “That was the most current water Perry saw coming up from our wells. What does that mean? I don’t know. I can’t explain how pumping has an impact on lake level if water entered the ground in the ‘70s.” Does the study answer the million dollar question: Are the wells drawing down the lake? “There is no evidence that I can see,” Burch replied. “The report provides information, but it doesn’t answer the pumping question. I called Perry and told him I was having a hard time drawing conclusions for the lawsuit. He told me the modeling phase will have more.” Part 2 of the USGS study provides results of the groundwater flow model. The model is a tool to assess surface water and groundwater interactions, including the effects of groundwater withdrawals on lake levels. “We will use the model to look at potential future pumping condi-
Well No. 29 on the map is the city of White Bear Lake’s well No. 4; No. 30 is well No. 1 and No. 28 is well No. 3. Wells No. 3 and 4 are high-capacity wells drilled in 1959 and 1962 that pump 2,500 gallons per minute from the Prairie du Chien and Jordan aquifers.
tions,” Jones said. “Scenarios include the impact of increasing pumping 30 percent in existing high-capacity wells in the Northeast Metro and decreasing pumping by 30 percent.” White Bear Lake has bounced back, Jones noted at the conference. “It is about to the mean water level. With the increased rainfall the last few years, a lot of these lakes have bounced back.” Funding for the three-year study came from the Clean Water Legacy Act after approval by the state Legislature. USGS partnered with the Metropolitan Council and state Department of Health on the study. A copy of the report can be viewed online at http://pubs.usgs.gov/ sir/2016/5139/a/sir20165139A.pdf

the section team his senior year,” said Craig Nasvik, 31-year White Bear Lake wrestling coach. “He was a part of our conference and section championship that year.” Nasvik remembers Benjamin as a “real nice young man,” he said. “He just did everything that was asked of him. I never had to worry about him. He was always wanting to try and improve and be the best he could be for the team.” Nasvik noted Benjamin was always proud to dress up on match days, when the whole team would wear ties and slacks to school. “He was proud as could be dressed up,” Nasvik said. “Whatever he wanted to do, he would do it and do it perfect,” Emily said. “He was very full of energy ... He would make everybody laugh even if you don’t want to laugh.” All of Emily's four children graduated from White Bear Lake High School. The other three children are all also college students right now. Emily and her husband emigrated about 15 years ago from Nigeria with all four of their children. “We all came together,” she said. “We won the diver-
sity lottery; that's how we got here.” The family has lived in the White Bear Lake area for six years. During the week and a half when the family didn't know where Benajmin was, a prayer service was held at St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church in White Bear Lake Oct. 16. The family has been part of the church since moving to the area. Parishioners, as well as many people from the Nigerian community in the Twin Cities, attended the service. A Nigerian leader spoke at the service, as well as Father Ralph Talbot of St. Mary's. The prayer service included scripture readings, quiet times of prayer and group prayer, Fr. Talbot said. Emily was touched by the outpouring of support from the community. “That was very, very nice; it gives me joy,” she said. Funeral plans had not been made as of press time. Family members from Nigeria are hoping to travel to be with the family, and were looking into obtaining visas. Coach Nasvik said he wishes Benjamin could attend his funeral instead. “This is the fifth wrestler I've lost in 31 years,” Nasvik said. “I wish they were visiting me (at my funeral)
instead of I visiting them,” he said. As of press time, authorities have not released information into what may have been the cause of Benjamin's death, but have reported there were no apparent signs of trauma to his body. One possible witness has come forward, who said he interacted with a black male on his boat the same night Benjamin disappeared. The witness said he told the male to leave his property after opening his boat cabin door, and heard a splash in the water later, the Winona Sheriff's Office has reported to other media. Two drops of blood were on his boat in the morning. It is still unknown whether the black male was Benjamin. Security cameras show Benjamin that night near a park by the Mississippi near where the boat was docked, the Winona Sheriff's Office has reported. One thing is for certain: Benjamin's body was found in the Mississippi. “It is very horrible and very painful,” Emily said. "It breaks my heart,” said White Bear Lake Mayor Jo Emerson. “This is every parent's worst nightmare.” Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

HAITI: In aftermath of hurricane FROM PAGE 1A
elderly living in slums and impoverished conditions. Now run by the late priest’s nieces, Reiser Relief approached Talbot at St. Mary in 2014 and asked if he was interested in going to Haiti. “I delayed for awhile because a lot of things were happening here in the parish,” he recalled. “Then I said yes. It put a new perspective on my ministry. We have people in our backyard (Haiti) who have very little. After the hurricane, they have even less. We have local and national outreach efforts with the food shelf, youth mission trips and Habitat builds. I decided to develop an international outreach. With Fr. Reiser being here and very beloved, I felt this was a great fit for us.” When he traveled to Haiti for the first time, Talbot said he was overwhelmed. Sanitation is non-existent. People live in tin shacks. Many areas, including the harbors, have loose pigs rummaging through heaped piles of garbage. Plastic bottles are everywhere in and out of the ocean. A large part of their mission is to deliver clean water. “One hundred people line up daily carrying any kind of container that can hold water,” Talbot said. “Kids come out and jump in your arms looking for attention. Many are naked or barely clothed.” After that first trip, Talbot pitched the idea of a relief mission to the parish. “I told them, ‘This is what I saw. We can’t solve all of Haiti’s problems, but we can solve a piece.’ So we joined together with Reiser Relief.” Since then, the church has built his and hers dormitories for the elderly and a school in Marfranc, a 6.5-hour jarring truck ride from Port au Prince. The previous living conditions for the elderly in the impoverished village were, in Talbot’s words, “God-awful.” They slept in makeshift beds on a concrete floor under a leaky roof. The flies were bad. “To go to the bathroom, the women had to go outside, down steps and around a corner about 100 yards to this
awful hole in the ground,” he said. “It was disgusting. And most are blind, in wheelchairs and missing a limb.” With assistance from Reiser Relief, St. Mary parishioners provided financial aid to put new roofs on the dorms for the elderly. There are now attached bathrooms. St. Mary also built a new school named after Cecelia Duffy with funds raised by her parents. St. Mary pays 75 percent of the children’s tuition in Marfranc and 100 percent at a school for orphans in Port au Prince. School is a privilege for children whose parents can pay, so many cannot afford to go. The school was dedicated in March with Kim and Charlie Duffy in attendance. “It was so hot,” Talbot said. “I lost 10 pounds celebrating Mass in the sun.” Talbot had scheduled the October trip long before the hurricane. He is going with Reiser staff to prepare a parish trip a year from now. This is his fourth trip to Haiti. “We were making progress,” he noted, “then the hurricane came along and set them back.” Two people were killed when the dormitories were destroyed. The roof of the school was ripped off and the interior damaged. “The plaque with Cecelia’s picture is beautifully intact,” Talbot added. Media reports call the hurricane aftermath “apocalyptic” with 2 million people affected. Death tolls ranged from 473 to at least 1,000 from the 145 mph winds. The number needing aid approaches 1.4 million. Crops were wiped out and people lost their livestock. Cholera is an issue, as is starvation. The town of Marfranc was nearly leveled by the hurricane. “We can’t fix all of Haiti, but we have this little corner that is suffering horrendously and we want to do something to help,” Talbot said. “Especially in this year of mercy. Pope Francis has talked about being attentive to the poor. This is one way to do that.” The St. Mary cleric commended the parish, which has responded generously to the relief efforts. But the need is great, he said, and asks people in the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FROM PAGE 5A
Do your homework this election As a new resident of Grant, I have tried to become familiar with the political landscape as quickly as possible. And in doing so, I have learned that the current City Council has a “less than stellar” reputation and struggles to run in an efficient, respectful way. My biggest concern is what I learned from researching the Women’s League of Voters study from May, 2016 regarding various city councils around the state. The report states, in part, that “the vast majority of city councils were under control and conducted in a professional manner. The two exceptions were the City of Grant and Lake Elmo.
Observers at several meetings found council members speaking over each other, name calling and accusing each other of wrong-doing. One observer in her opinion felt all parties were at fault for the disorder at the Grant City Council meeting. Their insurance carrier (Minnesota League of Cities) told council members in 2015 to treat each other with respect or risk higher insurance payments from costly legal settlements. The council is now run by an outside, paid parliamentarian.” As an excited new resident of Grant, this report is very disheartening. I am worried that our quaint, humble little rural community is at risk of becoming known as a divisive, disruptive and disagreeable place to live because of how our community is currently being led. The good news is that there are now three seats on the
council up for election this November, so we can initiate change in our leadership. I would encourage you all to please take a moment to research the issues and the new candidates. I would hate to see our community change simply because we didn’t research our candidates and vote in people willing to work together to protect our rural culture. For some additional information on candidates, you can go towww.newsingrant.com or check out the FB page “News in Grant, Minnesota.” The names are the same but the perspectives are very different so please do your homework. Lets work hard to ensure we bring back pride and respect in Grant. Kristy Gusick Grant

Alt for Norge! (All for Norway) BY JULIE KINK CONTRIBUTING WRITER
It was like coming home for the very first time. For Richard Brummond, visiting the picturesque Norwegian valley, the rugged mountains, the deep blue fjords, even the stone house where his great-greatgreat-grandparents lived more than a century ago was a life-changing experience. The White Bear Lake resident spent May and June in Norway as part of the hit reality show, Alt for Norge, which takes Norwegian-Americans to their ancestral homeland to compete for a chance to meet Norwegian relatives and a shot at winning $50,000. Contestants must not have traveled to Norway before. With family-friendly cultural challenges, good-natured competition and spectacular scenery, it’s Norway’s No. 1 Emmy award-winning show. The 34-year-old, who is a pro wrestler, a construction company safety manager, recording engineer and music producer, decided to try out for the show last December. With his girlfriend’s help, he submitted a 5-minute video. He was flown to Chicago for an interview and learned the next day he would be one of 12 contestants on Season 6. Brummond is one-eighth Norwegian on his mother’s side; his greatgreat-grandfather, Ole Anfinnsen, came to America in 1891 followed by his parents, Anfinn and Ingeborg, a few years later. “My grandmother is really a second mother to me. She has always been very proud of her Norwegian heritage,” he said. “We always made krumkake for holidays and my Grandma always had one of those cute little gnomes in her window to signify that she was Norwegian. But to be honest, I didn’t know a lot about my Norwegian heritage until I found out that I would be on the show. … Before then, I always liked the fact that I was Norwegian but I didn’t really know any of the people in the old photographs that my Grandma displayed in her house, or really anything about how my relatives came over from Norway. I found out a lot more through the show,” he said. On the show, Brummond is given pictures of his Norwegian relatives, including great-great-greatgrandfather Anfinn Nundal and great-great-grandfather Ole Anfinnsen, who changed his name to Throndson when he arrived in America. And he visits Nundalen Valley, where three homes originally owned by his great-great-great-grandfather still proudly stand. Norwegians traditionally took the last name of the builder or original owner of the farm where they
worked or lived, Brummond explained. Because this season’s 10-episode show is still airing in Norway, Brummond couldn’t divulge who won the competition, or whether he got a chance to meet his living Norwegian relatives. He said he plans to take his brother and mother back to Norway next summer for “a little family get-together.” He said visiting Norway renewed his interest in family history, learning the story behind the immigration of his Norwegian ancestors, and brought him in touch with “who I am as a person in the whole scheme of things.” “It really started to hit me that there was more to life than the everyday worries that most of us let run our lives, whether we perceive it or not. It really changed my outlook on how I see myself, as well,” Brummond remarked. The people of Norway are courteous, kind, and reserved, he said. And most either have been to America, or want to go very badly. “I appreciate the life that Norwegians live, as it seems less about materialistic possessions and more about the betterment of their society and country,” he said. “I came back really respecting their outlook to ‘do the right thing’ not just by themselves, but more importantly by others and the environment itself. Norwegians are very proud of their heritage and country, and it really resonated with me.” Brummond said he also made a lot of great friends among the Norwegian crew and the other contestants, who supported each other and became like family. “Being without a cell phone, outside distractions of everyday expenses, social media, or outside contact with people in America for two months re-energized my spirit and perception of the way that I live my life,” he observed. “Making new friends, getting to know more about my heritage, seeing unbelievably beautiful places and having crazy adventures … I kind of look at this experience as the best summer camp an adult would ever have.” Episodes of Alt for Norge may be viewed on Youtube
(TVNorge). Casting for Season 8 will take place Saturday, Nov. 19 at the Executive Center, Mall of America, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For information, visit http:// oconnorcasting.tv/norway/.

Just in time: season isn’t paradise lost for Zephyr netter BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Autumn is usually Olivia Paradise’s prime time to shine, but she had some anxious moments this season. Nerve damage in both elbows kept the Mahtomedi junior tennis standout on the sidelines, knowing her team was strong enough for another serious state bid and she might not be out there with them. “It was hard for me to think that I might not be able to play,” said Paradise, a year-round, national-schedule player whose injuries resulted from over-use, “because I am super close with them and love playing with them.” Fortunately, the pain finally subsided enough for Paradise to reclaim her No. 1 slot at the end of the regular season, and help the Zephyrs roll through Section 4AA. The long-stemmed, 6-foot-2 junior was playing in her fifth state tournament when action started Tuesday at the University of Minnesota. “I am able to play without any pain, which is nice for the first time in three months,” reported Paradise, who tried to return multiple times during the summer but it hurt too much. When the pain lessened she “took it slow.” While elated to be heading the lineup again, she elected to play it safe by not entering singles competition, where she’s been section champion the last two years. “I am still trying to get back my game, but I am rusty and not used to competition.”
Paradise, who occupied herself with physical therapy, working out, and “trying to be a part of my team as much as I could” during her absence, has gone 6-1 since returning. She lost in the section team finals to her club teammate Allison Kopiecki of Mounds View, who went on to win the singles title that Paradise won the last two years. “Ali and I are good friends, and she and I always have tough matches. I love playing against her because she is super sweet and very fair.” Paradise has held down No. 1 singles on state tournament teams since seventh grade and helped the team place third at state the last two seasons. She has earned all-conference and team MVP awards the last four seasons. For most teams, the absence of such an accomplished player would be a huge void, with everyone else moving up one notch, but Mahtomedi has enough depth to post a 14-4 regular season without her, losing only to highly-ranked non-conference foes. But having her back gives the Zephyrs a singles lineup that most opponents can’t touch, with the similarly lanky and talented sisters Maggie and Grace Riermann (who’ve teamed for two straight section doubles titles) moving down to No. 2 and 3 and Emily Fraser, a state qualifier, at No. 4. Mahtomedi is the No. 5 seed and opened against No. 4 Prior Lake on Tuesday, with the winner likely facing Edina on Wednesday morning. Finals will be held in the afternoon.The other bracket had No. 2 St. Cloud Tech vs. Duluth East, and No. 3 Eagan vs. Rochester Mayo.

Bears mountain bikers cross the border The White Bear Lake Mountain Bike Team traveled to River Falls, Wisconsin for race number five of the Minnesota High School Mountain Bike League season. Held Oct. 16 on the challenging trails at Whitetail Ridge, the Bears had an excellent day of racing. In the 17.5 mile JV race, junior Matt Weinberger led the Bears with 12th place out of 85 riders, while Tony Callen rode well to finish 19th. Five of six White Bear riders finished the JV race, which featured a 300 vertical foot climb per lap that went straight up the steep ridge. Will Hank finished 58th, with Seth Bickford 73rd, and Zach Engman in 76th. In the single lap middle school races, 7th grader Patrick Levin continued his run of solid results and finished 16th out of 46 riders, while 8th grader Tucker Christianson rode from a last row starting position to finish 21st out of 49 riders. In the two lap, 8.6 mile freshman races, Tehya Daniels rode a blistering second lap to move up from 22nd place after lap one to 14th place out of 28 girls, her best result of the season. In the boys freshman race, Adam Barth took a solid 19th place out of 61 riders, while teammate Jackson Chase-Jacobus ripped through the field from a last row starting position to finish 26th.

Students speak out for community change BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Eighth-grade English students — 130 of them — wrote letters to community and school leaders this month asking for changes. The persuasive letters were part of a unit on persuasion, said English teacher Karin Hogen. Students were instructed on composing an argument using structure, reasoning and evidence. Of Hogen's 130 students who wrote emails to community and school leaders, 26 received replies. Isabella Bosman wrote to Vadnais Heights to ask for more volleyball courts in her town — right now there is only one near Community Park, Bosman said. “Volleyball doesn't take much to play,” she said. “More people could go outside.” Bosman wrote to two heads of the Parks and Recreation Department and City Engineer Mark Graham. “They said that is a good idea,” Bosman said. “They asked me what park?” Bosman suggested a volleyball court at Westfield Park. Savanah Parker wrote to White Bear Lake Mayor Jo Emerson to request a later curfew time on weekends — right now the curfew is 10 p.m. for youth age 16 and under. “I wanted to see it get a little bit later because it's early for us right now,” Parker said. “I feel like we should be trusted to be out later.” She suggested 11 p.m. or 12 a.m. as weekend and summer curfew times. But Mayor Emerson was not convinced. “She said that, ‘I wouldn't trust my kids to be out at night,’” Parker said, noting
Emerson told her she is a mother of four. “I learned it is actually harder to persuade someone than you think it is,” Parker said. Bailey Godfrey also wrote to Mayor Jo Emerson, requesting more paths in town. “Some roads are really busy and don't have paths,” Godfrey said. “There are no paths by my house. She said, ‘Okay, we will start to fix that problem.’” Godfrey said he learned “how to argue and get my way of doing things.” “It felt really good because I got a response from the mayor of White Bear Lake,” he said. Jordyn Azure wrote to the White Bear Lake Parks and Recreation department about the dog park at Manitou Beach not being clean enough. Azure got a response telling her the department would look at it and also gave her the email of the staff person responsible for maintaining the beach, saying “he would be more effective on it.” Azure said she learned that in persuasion “you need to make sure you are talking to the right person.” Madalyn Miller wrote to White Bear Lake School Board Chair Janet Newberg requesting later start times for middle school students. She suggested changing the start time from 8:15 to 8:30. Miller said middle school students get a lot of homework and are involved in a lot of activities, and often go to bed late. “I'm exhausted,” Miller said. But Newberg responded that “it was a bad idea because if we started later, younger students would have to start earlier and would be out in the dark in the morning,” Miller said. She learned there were not enough buses.
Caitlyn Traxler wrote to ask her eighth-grade volleyball coach if they could get T-shirts for their team, which the students would pay for. Other teams have them, Traxler said, and they contribute to team spirit. “She said that was a really good idea but that she wasn't the right person to talk to about that,” Traxler said. Her coach didn't tell her who she should talk to about it. Emma Nerios asked middle school Vice Principal Bob Brewer for more romance, action and comical books in the library. “He said he'd talk about it with someone,” Nerios said, noting she learned that if you ask someone nicely for something
“you are more likely to get a better response and have things changed.” Hogen said there were many “cool” ideas that did not receive answers, including one for a skate park in Hugo. Over the next few weeks students will be researching social issues such as homelessness or food insecurity, and sending essays on their topics to community or organization leaders who work in those areas, Hogen said. This is the first year Hogen has had her students send letters to community leaders during her persuasion unit; she said the interaction with the community has caused the unit to be more interesting to students.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Historic ‘Little Bar’ gets new owners, new look There is a brand new cabin in town where all are welcome to eat, drink and enjoy the lakeside view.

Chamber opposes sick leave ordinance

The updated interior of Cabin 61 features vintage water skis and snow skis on the walls. Most of the restaurant owners are members of the Ski Otters water ski team that performs on nearby Goose Lake every summer.
The White Bear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce is lending support to the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, which is suing the city of Minneapolis over its recently passed paid sick time ordinance. The state chamber maintains that the ordinance conflicts with state law and that it is unworkable for businesses, especially those whose employees work in multiple cities. The Minneapolis ordinance requires
Happy 1st Birthday! Jonah James Schwintek Jonah was born on October 27, 2015. He weighed 8 lbs, 15 oz and was 21 inches long.

employers with six or more workers to provide a minimum of one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, up to 48 hours per year. Employees would be eligible for sick leave after working 80 hours or more per year in the city, even if their employer is based elsewhere. The White Bear chamber points out that employers located in the north metro that have an employee who travels to Minneapolis for meetings or even deliveries, would be forced to comply with the paid sick time ordinance. At minimum, this means extra tracking and administrative work, even if the company already offers paid sick time. “We had a staffer of the Minnesota chamber visit with our board about the litigation, and our board decided to support the litigation,” noted Tom Snell, White Bear chamber executive director. The White Bear Area chamber agrees that employers should have the ability to decide what type of leave policy works best for them. “A patchwork of city-by-city ordinances would burden businesses with significant administrative costs, lead to unintentional errors that could subject businesses to legal action, and interfere in the operations of the workplace,” Snell said.

Dyslexia affects one in five students BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
By this time next year, all Minnesota school districts should have dyslexia screening in place. It was a small step dyslexia advocates made in the Legislature this year, reported Rachel Berger of Hugo, founder of advocacy group Decoding Dyslexia. The new law, added as an amendment to the Reading Well by Third Grade policy, will “require all school districts to report to the Commissioner of Education their efforts to screen these children and proceed with alternative methods of instruction,” Berger said. “School districts are now already reaching out to our group and others in the field.” However, advocates didn't get their bill passed — a specialist bill that would have included a reading tax credit of $3,000 for parents who have to pay for tutoring instruction outside school and the hiring of dyslexia specialists at the Department of Education. Advocacy groups will work on a new angle for legislation next year, she said. Dyslexia causes language decoding difficulties, which often manifest as spelling or reading difficulties. Lyn Haselmann, of White Bear Township, is a structured literacy tutor who uses literacy curriculum developed by Samuel Orton and Anna Gillingham in the early 20th century. The approach teaches literacy through word formation concepts. It breaks down words into morphemes — meaningful units in words — and phonemes — meaningful sounds in words. Examples of morphemes are root words, prefixes, suffixes and “a smaller word inside a big word,” Haselmann said. Phonemes are sounds that distinguish words from each other. For example, the sound represented in English by the letters, sh, is a phoneme because sip and ship are words with two different meanings. Teaching literacy using the structure of language as a foundation can help children with dyslexia learn to read. In fact, Haselmann said the structured literacy approach should be used by all new readers. “They would benefit all kids, not just ours,” Haselmann said. “There is a greater capacity for all children to learn with structured literacy.” Between 17 and 20 percent of students struggle with literacy and dyslexia, many who are undiagnosed, Haselmann said. But many are future entrepreneurs due to the creativity that comes with dyslexia — 50 percent of engineers at NASA fall somewhere on the dyslexia spectrum, Haselmann said. “We need them, and we can't be sidelining them,” she said. But Haselmann and Berger are the last ones who would say teachers don't care — it is an awareness and training issue. “Ninety-five percent of teachers said they want more training in dyslexia,” Berger said. “The teachers care deeply and they want the tools for their toolbox.”
‘We knew nothing about dyslexia’ One local educator who aims to equip teachers is Wildwood Elementary K-2 reading specialist Judy Livingston, in the Mahtomedi School District.

Rachel Berger, founder of advocacy group Decoding Dyslexia, right, and Jan Hagedorn of the Rochester Reading Institute testify at a legislative session with Sen. Roger Chamberlain this spring.
Livingston became interested in dyslexia and how it affects early elementary literacy two years ago when her professional learning community (PLC) group was discussing struggling learners' reading skills. They noticed a pattern — students would skip small words like “a,” “an” and “the,” would reverse letters, substitute similar words for each other, know a word on one page, but not on the next page, and misspell words. The group of educators began to research. They watched a Youtube documentary, “Embracing Dyslexia,” and listened to a lecture from Susan Barton, a renowned expert in dyslexia literacy teaching methods. “All of us in the room graduated from college, but we knew nothing about dyslexia,” Livingston said. Dyslexia became “one of my passions,” she said. First, Livingston took Orton-Gillingham classroom-based training. This summer, through the Hansen Inspired Teacher Grant, she attended a course taught by Barton in Chicago that made her an official dyslexia consultant. “When I came back from this conference all I wanted to do was talk about dyslexia,” Livingston said. She wants parents and teachers to understand that dyslexia does not equal low intelligence. “They are out-of-the-box thinkers,” she said. “Their brain is wired differently. We need to be able to support that. Who knows what famous people we have in our classrooms sitting right in front of us?” Dyslexia is also along a spectrum — on the high end are people who find it hard to “even read a menu” as adults and on the low end are people who struggle with reading, spelling, directions, memorizing math facts and telling time on a clock. The key to helping children with dyslexia reach their full potential is early screening, Livingston said. Already, Livingston added a rhyming assessment to
this year's fall kindergarten screening — rhyming is related to phonemic awareness. Livingston's goal is to identify students who may have indications towards dyslexia, not to diagnose them. She is working with teachers to develop interventions based on Orton Gillingham and Barton Reading and Spelling System teaching philosophies. In September, she conducted a 3-hour training for intervention teachers at Wildwood and O.H. Anderson Elementary. Some kindergartners who have been receiving phonemic awareness interventions are already showing progress. “You can tell their phonemic awareness is stronger this year than in the past,” Livingston said. Second-graders have also benefited. “The district allowed us to order and use the Barton Reading and Spelling intervention with second-grade students who fit the profile,” she said. “We are so happy with the results we are already seeing.” Livingston said she sees a “new energy” among teachers in Mahtomedi elementary schools this fall regarding dyslexia. She has been sending out email blasts on the topic this month; October is Dyslexia Awareness Month. White Bear Lake Area Schools has plans to provide further training and evaluation on dyslexia. “Staff members have received information on dyslexia and the district will continue to inform and provide ongoing training to staff members about dyslexia and those who persistently struggle with reading,” said Ann Malwitz, professional development coordinator, in an email. “We will report our efforts to evaluate and identify students with dyslexia to the Commissioner of Education by July 1, 2017.”
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF DYSLEXIA? Elementary Elementa age children child en may: ma • Have difficulty separating sounds in words or blending sounds to make words • Have a hard time learning the connection between letters and their sounds • Confuse small words or letters while reading • May read a word once and then not recognize it in subsequent appearances with the same text • Have halting and frustrating oral reading fluency • Make consistent reading and spelling errors • Have trouble remembering math facts, understanding multi-step math concepts and word problems • Experience great frustration when attempting new skills • Rely heavily on memorizing without understanding • Be impulsive and prone to accidents • Have difficulty planning • Use an awkward pencil grip • Have trouble learning to tell time • Be described by a parent or teacher as “lazy” or “just needs to try harder” Having one or more than one of these signs does not mean a child has dyslexia; many children reverse letters before age 7. However, if several signs exist, and reading problems persist, or if you have a family history of dyslexia, you may want to have your child evaluated.

Drums go silent: Longtime musician succumbs to heart attack A man who loved music to the bottom of his rock ‘n roll soul died unexpectedly Sunday, Oct. 16. Fittingly, Bill Axelrod was carrying his beloved drums to a gig at Faith Alliance Church when he suffered a fatal heart attack. The 65-year-old musician was a huge supporter of music in his hometown of White Bear Lake, said an old friend, Greg McNeely. The two played together
in Crossover, a local jazz/blues band in the early ’80s. “JimBob (Axelrod’s nickname) was a character,” McNeely said. “He was really funny. He would make you smile and laugh hard. When he decided to do something, it got done. He was always promoting music and independent causes. He helped the White Bear Lake Restoration Association promote Lakestock in 2013 — we were lucky
to have his enthusiasm and humor.” Although he had a history of heart problems, Axelrod’s sudden death was a shock to people who knew him. Longtime acquaintance Rhonda Klein said her reaction was “Oh, my God” when she got the call that Sunday. Axelrod often helped Klein at her downtown business in the Avalon Mall, Evergreen Press. “He didn’t technically work for me but he was

there almost every day helping out,” she said. “Bill’s parents died in 2007 and he was lonely, so he would stop in. He did promotional stuff for musicians. He would run errands or deliver jobs. He always had a joke and he was always bringing CDs to people. He knew everyone downtown.” An only child, Axelrod never married, Klein said. He was still living in the house he grew up in on Hazel Street after he moved back from St. Paul to care for his ailing parents. Regretfully, her friend will now receive an award posthumously next April. Axelrod will be inducted into the South Dakota Rock and Roll Music Association Hall of Fame with the Fabulous Flippers.

BREAKTHROUGH MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY OFFERS ADVANCED PAIN RELIEF Unless you or someone you know has struggled with severe injury, chronic pain, or degenerative disease, it’s difficult to understand the impact it can have on life. But if you struggle with chronic pain, you know its debilitating effects. You’ve likely given up hobbies, family activities, and travel in your efforts to control pain and maintain functionality. Unfortunately, until now, the only treatment options for these types of conditions have been surgery or addictive pain killers, which often have unwelcome side effects. But recent advances in medical technology may offer advanced, effective relief. K-Laser, a state-of-the-art, Class IV laser therapy, has been found to penetrate tissue and initiate healing on a cellular level, even allowing some patients to return to normal, everyday activities with little to no pain.
IMAGINE A DAY WITH NO PAIN Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C., of White Bear Lake, has offered K-Laser treatments in his practice since 2016 and confirms these findings. “I’m thrilled with the outcome of K-Laser therapy. I’m now able to provide holistic, natural treatment for conditions that previously required invasive treatment or heavy medications with no promise of real relief.” His patients are happy as well. Here are a few of the responses he has heard: “I can hardly express the relief I have received from one treatment.” ~retired ER nurse, 25 years of chronic lower back pain “This was dramatic pain relief! I began gardening again and using my treadmill for exercise.” ~67-year-old with debilitating knee pain “I can’t believe the difference it is making. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” ~arthritic hip patient
THE SECRET IS LIGHT ENERGY K-Laser, also known as High Power Laser Therapy, targets damaged tissue with specific wavelengths of light that have
been found to interact with tissue and accelerate the healing process. Much like photosynthesis in plants, light energy passes through the skin, into the cell membrane, initiating a process called photobiostimulation. This process enhances the body’s natural regenerative functions, as well as stimulating the release of endorphins and collagen. It may eventually even normalize damaged or injured tissue. The result? Accelerated wound healing, as well as reduced pain, stiffness, swelling, and spasms. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored, so patients may take their life back and resume their favorite hobbies and activities. CONDITIONS TREATED WITH K-LASER High power laser therapy can stimulate all cell types, including soft tissue, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves. Some conditions that have been shown to respond well to K-Laser include: • Peripheral Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia • Back and Neck Pain • Sciatic Pain • Arthritis pain, Degenerative Discs/Joints • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Knee Problems • Tendinitis, Trigger Fingers • Bunion Pains, Plantar Fasciitis • Sprains and/or Strains • Bruises, Contusions, Burns • Headaches, TMJ, Sinus Trouble • Athletic Injuries • Work-Related and Auto Injuries
RESULTS MAY EVEN BE SEEN AFTER 1 TREATMENT Many patients report pain relief in as little as one treatment, and most are able to resume normal daily activities with no pain and restricted movement after their therapy is completed. Treatments are administered by a technician, using a hand-held device the size of a flashlight. The laser is placed directly over the injured area for anywhere from 30 seconds to 9 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the treatment plan.
Steve Donohue, Asst. Athletic Trainer of the N.Y. Yankees, reports, “We use the K-Laser both on acute and chronic conditions, such as bruises, contusions and tendinitis. We ice and then use the laser, and players seem to respond quicker. It’s a hot item in the training room. The guys line up for it!”
For too long, medicine has focused on symptom relief rather than true healing. K-Laser offers an alternative, and it’s a welcome change for athletes as well as patients interested in natural remedies.
the Flippers in the ’70s, considered one of the Midwest’s best horn bands. “He was really excited about that,” Klein said. A celebration of life was held at Faith Alliance Church Oct. 25 in St. Paul. Burial followed at Union Cemetery in White Bear Lake. An obituary notice said Axelrod lived his entire life with a passion for music and had many friends who all meant the world to him. He was preceded in death by his parents Tom and Alyce and three companions: Chipper, Max and Trubs. Memorials are preferred to Faith
Alliance Church for the Alliance Mission Fund. Local recording artist and bassist Enrique Toussaint also provided a comment about the sad passing of Bill “JimBob” Axelrod: “I had the fortune of calling him my friend and had a chance to share life and music with him during my first couple of years in Minnesota. He was a kind and transparent soul, full of life and a wonderful cheesy humor. He was also a talented graphic designer. I loved him very much, and he’ll be sorely missed.” Debra Neutkens
More than 1200 studies conducted over 40 years worldwide have shown the powerful therapeutic benefits of high power laser therapy. Findings include: • Acute Pain: diminished more than 70%, chronic pain more than 60% • Chronic Low Back Pain: treatment effective in 71% of cases; pain eliminated completely in 45% • Wounds: 55% greater healing on day 8, as compared to the placebo group • Knee Injury: improved knee flexion and pressure sensitivity after every treatment

Have a safe and Happy Halloween! Halloween Tips
Halloween Tips
· Rely on flashlights and reflective tape to make trick-or-treaters more visible during evening walks. The reflective tape can be incorporated right into the costume design.
· Walk on sidewalks. Wherever possible, trick-or-treaters should use sidewalks and crosswalks. Avoid walking in the street, where the risk of being hit by a car is considerable. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says twice as many kids are hit by a car while walking on Halloween than any other day of the year.
· Choose hats and face paints in lieu of masks. Masks can block a child’s vision and impede a youngster’s ability to check for traffic.
How about a $100,000 price change to $600,000 for this unbelievable Bald Eagle lake home. Heck, Check out 12714 Ethan Ave N., feel free to walk the lot, get ready to be blown away,

· Have children wear comfortable, flat shoes to reduce the risk of tripping or falls.
· Do not enter homes. If an adult or even a youngster whom a child does not know offers entry to the home, the trick-or-treater should not enter. Let kids know they should only enter the homes of known friends, and even then they should only do so after getting permission from a parent.
· Choose soft, flexible costume props whenever possible. Make sure the props, such as swords, are not sharp or too long. · Make sure costumes and accessories are made with flame-resistant materials.
· Consume only factory-wrapped treats. Well-meaning people may hand out cupcakes or marshmallow cereal treats. The ingredients such people used and the safety of these treats cannot be confirmed, so it is best to stick with store-bought items instead.
· Use glow sticks or battery-powered LED lights instead of lit candles for costumes and decorations. · Go in groups. Children can be accompanied by their parents while older children should be encouraged to trick-or-treat in groups. Should an emergency occur, having a group of friends around enables someone to call for help or alert an adult.
· Adults should drive carefully. All drivers should slow down and anticipate children darting out into the roadways on Halloween. Drive slowly and pay attention to the roads.

· Avoid distractions. Trick-or-treaters should not be wearing earbuds or talking on a phone while trick-or-treating. They should be paying attention to their surroundings and using caution.
· Ensure that costumes do not drag on the ground as costumes that are too long can pose a tripping hazard.

District settles two employment claims BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Two former District 624 staff and the district settled disputes Oct. 10 regarding employment. One, who was a school bus driver with the district for 17 years, had filed a complaint in April 2015 alleging the district discriminated against her based on a disability, according to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court. The bus driver alleged that she was diagnosed with a degenerative spine disease over the summer of 2013, according to the complaint. When she came back to be assigned routes, the route she had driven for 17 years was only part-time and full-time drivers could only bid on special education routes. She bid and received a special education route, according to the complaint. The bus driver requested

an aide for her route and a handicapped parking spot. Her doctor had restricted her from lifting wheelchairs and dependent students and recommended assigning her to a regular route. The bus driver was denied a spot to park near the office and was not given an aide, according to the complaint. She was taken off her route and asked to use her sick leave bank. The bus driver applied for a regular full-time route when it opened, but the route was given to someone with less seniority. Her special education route was then posted for applicants. The bus driver alleged she was not given reasonable accommodation for her disability, according to the complaint. The district denied the bus driver's allegations, according to its settlement agreement. Originally, the bus driver had requested a jury trial but settled with the district instead. “Both sides agreed to settle the case rather than go

The district will be paying the bus driver $40,000: $14,000 in attorney fees, $11,000 in alleged lost wages and $15,000 in alleged emotional distress damages, according to the settlement agreement.
Breach of contract claim
The district also settled with another former staff member, who was hired in July 2015 as a student success coordinator. The employee claimed a breach of contract, and the district denied any wrongdoing, according to the settlement agreement. The district and employee chose to settle “to avoid the cost of litigation,� reads the settlement agreement. The district will be paying the employee $16,900.

Q: Do you believe the minimum wage should be increased? If so, to what? If not, why not? A: Yes, a $15 dollar and hour livable wage for adults.

Political/civic experience: 2008 attended first caucus, precinct chair, vice chair local BPOU, first elected to office in 2010 Minnesota State Senate, reelected in 2012. Education: Associate’s degree in law enforcement from Normandale Community College, bachelor’s degree in accounting from Metropolitan State University. Political Philosophy: We must regain our confidence; reclaim control of our individual lives, our rights and remember again what it means, and what it takes, to be optimists and dreamers. In the end it is about your life, your choices and your dreams. My job is to safeguard these things for you, to make it easier, to give everyone a fair shot at living, choosing and pursuing their dreams.

Q: If elected, and you had to focus on just three issues in your district or the state, what would they be? A: Transportation, education, employment/jobs. Q: How has immigration-both legal and illegal-affected Minnesota and your legislative district? Do you have areas of concern? Solutions? A: Immigration is strictly a federal issue that states have no control over; Congress and the President have sole responsibility for developing immigration policy. Like many, I do have concerns over illegal immigration, but states have no control to address this on a large scale. Q: What would you like to tell voters about your qualifications as a legislator? Why are you the best candidate for the job? A: I am running for Minnesota Senate because I know government can do better. Our communities deserve a voice who stands up for our priorities and values - not just a political party. I have over 30 years experience in management and information systems. My clients include a broad selection of both public and private business, K-12, higher education and education technology groups in outstate Minnesota. I believe in my skill set and the ability to work hard for people would make for what the public deserves in an effective public servant. We need good leaders to provide a positive, proactive environment for our district! I am confident that my experience and background in education and the private sector will bring strong, energetic leadership. I offer a fiscally responsible progressive approach to government that will be beneficial to our communities.
Q: Do you believe the minimum wage should be increased? If so, to what? If not, why not? A: The minimum wage was increased during the 2014 legislative session and will begin increasing automatically in 2018. Q: If elected, and you had to focus on just three issues in your district or the state, what would they be? A: K-12 public education, MnSure/healthcare costs and revitalizing minnesota’s sluggish economy. Q: How has immigration-both legal and illegal-affected Minnesota and your legislative district? Do you have areas of concern? Solutions? A: Legal immigration is wonderful and important for our state and nation. That said, governments first obligation is public safety. Minnesotan’s are rightfully concerned about current immigration policy and their safety. Recent incidents in Minnesota underscore their concern-terrorist recruitment and the attack in St. Cloud. Policy should be reviewed to ensure immigrants will not become domestic or international terrorists. Q: What would you like to tell voters about your qualifications as a legislator? Why are you the best candidate for the job? A: I served full time in the Navy and in the Minnesota Army National Guard as a combat medic; I have worked as a bar bouncer, in security, an airport shuttle driver, and then as an accountant and tax accountant for large corporations. I enjoy bike riding, mowing my lawn and fixing our cars. I have a unique background and bring a variety of skills to the legislature. In the end, I serve because I truly care about the future of this state. I believe we need to listen more to the people, to empower them and not government, allow people to reach their potential so they can thrive and not simply survive.

WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 1 ED EIGNER Age: 71 Address (city): Forest Lake Family: Married with two children, one grand daughter, and a dog named Chum Lee Occupation: Operations Manager for Culligan Bottled Water Political/civic experience: Member of the Forest Lake City Council, Forest Lake Fire Board, Forest Lake Airport Commission, and the Personnel Committee. Former member of the Forest Lake Planning Commission. Former Liaison to the Forest Lake School Board. Education: B.S. University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Graduate of the Siebel Institute of Technology, Member of the I.B.W.A. Endorsements: Not seeking any endorsements. Want to run as a true independent. Where can voters get more information about your campaign? Call 612-919-5651 Q: What do you think the county does well now? What does it need to do better? A: I think the county does a great job maintaining public safety. The sheriff’s department is among the finest in the state of Minnesota. Their public works department is outstanding. Winter driving is good thanks to their snow and ice removal programs. Their library system is among the best in the country. I think they could do a better job of promoting local events. Their representatives should be more visible in their representative districts. Q: If elected, what specific contribution do you see yourself most capable of making on the board? A: If elected I would be a powerful advocate to have the commission work more closely with the city and state agencies. I would make every effort to better represent the tax payers of Washington County.
PAT DAVERN DFL Age: 51 Address (City): Circle Pines Family: Single Occupation: Technology consultant and Metro Transit Political/civic experience: University of Minnesota Civil Service Committee Education: Cretin High School in St. Paul, journalism/mass communications major at the University of Minnesota. Political Philosophy: I believe the primary role of government is to create an environment that serves all people regardless of race, creed, age, sexual orientation or disability. We live in a republic that dictates that the voting citizens elect representatives that can build a consensus from all different views and walks of life. Endorsements: AFL-CIO, ATU 1005, DFL, Teamsters DRIVE,
Q: If elected, and you had to focus on just three issues that impact residents in your district, what would they be? A: The first issue I would try to help get resolved is the need for an upgrade in the bridge replacement on highway 97 and 35 W. MN Dot’s present plan is to replace it with an identical bridge. Not only would this be a waste of tax payer’s money but it will do nothing to solve the present traffic problem which exist at the bridge, The bridge will not meet the needs of the traffic projection for the next 20 years. Even though the bridge is in Anoka County the majority of the traffic comes from Washington County. This is the perfect situation for both counties to work together for the benefit of all tax payers. Second I am a strong advocate of Washington County giving some form of push back to the Met Council. There ever increasing mandates without any means of financing is over burdening our local tax payers. Cities are struggling to maintain their own budgets without the added costs of the Met Council. I would try
WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS
13B
to have Washington County join Anoka County and others in their fight to have the Met Council positions changed from appointments to elected positions. They are political paybacks from the governor for election considerations. Thus there is little consideration given to qualifications for the positions. There is also no accountability since they serve at the behest of the governor. Third I would like to do something about the ever increasing sewer charges. When the Met Council tells the cities to budget for an automatic 5% increase for the next 20 years and beyond it makes one wonder what the money is really for. Again there is no need for the Met Council to be efficient in their operations since they have a built in revenue increase every year. Q: What differentiates you from your opponent(s) (i.e. why are you the best candidate for the job)? A: The difference between me and my opponent is. I will represent the entire District. I will not show any favoritism toward any one city. When it comes to dealing with the Met Council and MN Dot I will not represent the status quo. I will be a strong leader who will represent everyone in Washington County.
WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 1 FRAN MIRON (INCUMBENT) Age: 62 Address (city): Hugo Family: Married 38 years to wife Mary Ann & have raised six children. I also have five grandchildren. Occupation: Dairy & Crop Farmer Political/civic experience: Washington County Commissioner – District 1: 2013-Present Mayor, City of Hugo: 1994-1998, 2000-2012 Councilman, City of Hugo: 1990-1994 Education: B.S. University of Minnesota (1976) Graduate of Forest Lake Area Senior High School (1972) Where can voters get more information about your campaign? www.FranMiron.org Q: What do you think the county does well now? What does it need to do better? A: Washington County government has promoted the health, safety and quality of life of citizens by providing accessible, high quality services in a timely and respectful manner. We maintain trust through responsible use of public resources, accountability, and openness of government. The county has dedicated staff and has managed its tax rate well. Washington County has the highest bond rating possible from both rating agencies. We have an opportunity to expand business and jobs by working with local communities creating additional tax base and services which benefit residents. . Q: If elected, what specific contribution do you see yourself most capable of making on the board? A: As a dairy farmer I have experience in small business and understand the sacrifice and hard work necessary to successfully operate a business and raise a family. As Hugo Mayor I oversaw the growth of the community while maintaining a strong quality of life. I will work to build consensus and compromise as we work together to create a united vision for Washington County. I’ve brought these values to the county board the last four years and I would appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve as the District 1 Commissioner. Q: If elected, and you had to focus on just three issues that impact residents in your district, what would they be? A: I support quality public services, innovation, and leadership by working closely with local governments on issues of public safety, economic development, transportation, and quality of life. Maintaining sound and sustainable fiscal policies, investing in roads & bridges, preserving open spaces, and water quality & availability are my priorities as I continue to serve the residents of Washington County as commissioner. Q: What differentiates you from your opponent(s) (i.e. why are you the best candidate for the job)? A: Real success in government can only come about when there is a shared vision and effort to work together. Transparency and trust is critical to a unified goal and I believe strongly in the need to engage the public in the decision making process. I deeply care about the opportunities Washington County can provide for the next generation. Washington County’s progress is critically coupled to the success of our communities. I have brought this experience and leadership to the county board, and I hope residents have benefited from my service. I would ask for the opportunity to continue to work on your behalf.

WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 2
What can we do to bring in new businesses that offer careers with great benefits? What can we do to help out with transportation for employees to access to get to their jobs, shopping appointments etc.? I would like to see how we can identify, and address what the needs will be with our aging population.
CHERYL ANDERSON
Age: 57 Address (City): Birchwood Family: Husband Daniel, and 2 daughters Occupation: Administrator/Owner, Social Service Solutions, Inc. Political/civic experience: I have served on Washington County’s CAC, Citizens Advisory Committee, and Washington County’s CRP, Citizens Review Panel for child protection services. I served as the Chair during my last term on the CRP. Both assignments were Washington County Board appointed. I served on Ally People Solution’s, Inc. Board of Directors for 14 years, serving as Secretary/Treasurer for several terms. Additional civic experience includes serving on the Ramsey County Developmental Disabilities Committee, and the Lake Owasso Residence Advisory Board. Both were Ramsey County Board appointed Education: Bachelors of Arts in psychology, and LSW licensed social worker, state of Minnesota. Political philosophy: I like to see the cities, and townships in Washington County decide how to govern their own communities. Representatives from the local level should be the designers of their own legal codes policies, and rules. Endorsements: I accept endorsements from private citizens. Where can voters get more information about your campaign? They can go to my website at Cheryl-anderson.com. I can also be reached at 651-235-8656 call or text.
Q: Would you be willing to raise taxes to fund improvements in Washington County? If so, what improvements? A: I would be willing to raise taxes to fund improvements that would keep us safe. If we have identified structural issues/deficits with our infrastructures, I would want them repaired. We need to ensure that our roads, buildings, and power supplies are not only safe but functioning properly. Q: What would you like to tell voters about your qualifications and why you are best for the job? A: I have 30 years working in social services, with 19 years as the Administrator/Owner of Social Service Solutions, Inc., I supervise employees, and manage the overall budget. In addition to designing policies, and procedures, I have been a dedicated advocate for people working to improve their lives, and communities. I will work tirelessly on the behalf of everyone in Washington County.
WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 2 STAN KARWOSKI
Q: What changes would you like to see in how the county is spending its money? A: Since the end of the recession I believe the county has been conservative with spending our tax dollars. While attending the board meetings this past spring and summer, I see the County taking into serious consideration the projects that are planned. I see careful consideration given to the submitted (RFPs), requests for proposals to ensure that the goods, and services are first necessary, and second meet the safety needs of the residents. In the 2017 proposed budget, I support the request for hiring additional staff when their salaries are funded by State, and Federal money, or by increasing user fees for services. As your County Commissioner, I would encourage and support looking at securing funding sources other than our tax dollars whenever possible. Q: Name two other challenges that are meaningful to you. How might you approach helping solve them? A: I see the most important challenge that is meaningful to many residents in District 2 is transportation. The Residents of Washington County have very limited transportation options outside of using their own vehicles. We are one of five counties that are helping to fund the metro area transit systems. Yet, Washington County is not receiving any transit services. We need to seriously look at the Gold Line. I would make it my priority to reach a decision that would be beneficial to residents, and local businesses. A second challenge that is meaningful to me is looking at the future needs of the county.
Age: 59 Address (City): Oakdale Family: Wife Linda, 4 adult children, 2 son in-laws, 2 grand children Occupation: Graco Inc., 38 years Product Development, Multiple patents – Retired 2016 Political/civic experience: Mayor of Oakdale 2015 to present, Oakdale City Council 2001-2014, Washington County Park & Open Space Commission Member-past Chair, Regional Council of Mayors Member, Oakdale Area Chamber of Commerce Member, Economic Development Commission Liaison, ISD 622 Education Foundation Board-past President, School Robotics Mentor and Reading Tutor , Oakdale Tree Board Founding Member, Tartan Arena Joint Powers Board, Oakdale Planning and Park Commission 19941999, Oakdale Fire Relief Association past Board, Oakdale Athletic Association and TAYHA past Youth Coach, St. Paul Festival & Heritage Foundation Member, Oakdale Yellow Ribbon Network Board past Member, Friends of Washington County Board Education: Northeast Metro Technical College – design degree and Metropolitan State University – BA in business management Political philosophy: Apply constitution. Treat all people fair with respect no matter wealth or status. Endorsements: AFSCME, St. Paul Building Construction Trades Council, Oakdale Area Chamber of Commerce Where can voters get more information about your cam-
paign? 651-249-7684 Facebook – Stan Karwoski for Washington County Board of Commissioners District 2 Seat Web – www.stankarwoski.com Q: What changes would you like to see in how the county is spending its money? A: I learned from research a majority of our county duties are mandated. Most of these duties are unfunded mandates from the State of Minnesota. In many cases our state does not provide funding so our county must spend from its budget to meet the requirements of the mandates. I believe some mandates could be an unfair burden on our taxpayers. If elected, I will look into the details of unfunded mandates and work with our state for funding or changing mandates not effective. I have successful experience developing effective relationships with our state elected officials and this should help. I also support our County Board of Commissioners in their use of guidelines to prioritize spending. If elected as your new county commissioner I will consult with those involved and learn county spending details. Q: Name two other challenges that are meaningful to you. How might you approach helping solve them? A: 1. County Growth - Provide for growing and changing service needs such as transportation and seniors so our high quality of life continues. I will work hard to get our fair share of regional and state targeted transportation/gas tax dollars already paid. Also, budget priorities need to be looked at to assure funding is allocated for demographic changes such as senior needs. 2. Economic Development – Our county new economic focus will grow our tax base with new business property taxes and good jobs. Businesses use less services so their tax base expansion will assist funding our overall growth needs and reducing the tax burden on home owners. Q: Would you be willing to raise taxes to fund improvements in Washington County? If so, what improvements? A: No, I would not raise taxes. My strong preference is funding improvements by reprioritizing within existing flat budget limits. Serving on the Oakdale City Council I have successful experience funding improvements within flat budget limits. Q: What would you like to tell voters about your qualifications and why you are best for the job? A: My family, career, and many years of life experiences living in Washington County gives me a good foundation to represent our people as County Commissioner. Additionally, my proven 14 years serving citizens in elected office and gaining experience establishing budgets, applying critical thinking, and weighing difficult decisions with results creating a positive quality of life for citizens. Our county budget is over $200 million and I believe experience critically matters when making these larger budget decisions about people, services, and direction for our county. Also, my recent professional career retirement allows me to dedicate myself full time serving you as Washington County Commissioner. I ask for your vote on Tuesday November 8th.

Benefit planned for cancer victim
A benefit is planned for 40-year Cerenity Senior Care employee Tom Moehrle
on Sunday, Oct. 30. Moehrle, a 1979 graduate of White Bear High School, was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer in June and underwent surgery at Mayo Clinic July 1. While this type of cancer can be treated with chemotherapy and radiation to reduce the tumors and extend life, there is currently no cure. Proceeds from the benefit will go directly to Moehrle to help with financial hardships due to medical bills and his inability to work. The father of three attends Eagle Brook Church and, before his illness, enjoyed hunting, fishing and gardening. He began his four decades of employment at the care center as a nursing assistant and for the last seven years has worked as a maintenance technician. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased in advance or at the door. The benefit is 2 to 5 p.m. at the Hugo American Legion, 5383 140th St. Admission includes Donatelli’s buffet, live music, silent auction, games of skill and a raffle. Donations for a silent auction are being accepted. Call Peg Black, 651-232-1843 or 651-429-3762. Donations can also be made at any US Bank to the Thomas R. Moehrle Beneficiary Donation account or online at www. youcaring.com/tom-moehrle-654329.

Real estate Trends Is Now a Good Time?
Whether you are buying, selling or both the first question everyone asks is: “Is now the best time?” There are so many factors that influence the timing and decision to make a move. As a Seller, at this time, there are many buyers that have been waiting for a property like yours to become available. With the low inventory we have now, pre-approved, anxious buyers are ready to come see your property and multiple offers are not uncommon! Time to get top dollar is now!
As a Buyer, if you are financing (not paying cash) the interest rates are still incredibly low. When you look at the long and short term benefits of a low interest rate, you drastically increase your buying power helping you afford not only what you can get for your dollar, but what you want! There are new listings coming to the market daily and finding the right home is never a problem, but it may require a little patience. Now if you want to down size, up size, or just making a change to the lifestyle you want
(but need to sell first) there are numerous options. If need be, there are options to rent back (long or short terms), contingencies, bridge financing and many, many more! Give me a call to discuss your options and see if now is the right time for you! Don Wolkerstorfer “One of a Kind in Name & Service!” #1 Agent Total sales again in 2015!
