Bears Hall of Fame adds football coach, volleyball star

Rush Line team promises fresh look at downtown station sites BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The White Bear Lake Sports Hall of Fame recently added a Bears volleyball star who went on to play in two Final Fours with the Gophers, and a football coach with the most wins in Bear football history. Lisa Reinhart and the late Bob Jackson were inducted in a halftime ceremony at the Bears football game Oct. 17 with family members representing them. Jackson passed away on March 31 at age 64. Reinhart lives in South Carolina. Jackson logged 123 wins, most of any football coach in school history, in 19 seasons from 1993 to 2011, with four state tournament teams and two conference champions. Also the activities director for 35 years, Jackson initiated several hallmarks of the football program including the booster club, the youth football association, summer camps, weight-lifting programs and post-game meals that connected families to the team. Reinhart led the Bears to a state runner-up fi nish in volleyball in 1999. She was team defensive MVP four times and offensive MVP twice. She was also a hurdler and jumper in track, qualifying for state in the 300 hurdles. With the Gophers, Reinhart was a defensive specialist on teams that reached the NCAA Final Four her last two seasons, 2003 and 2004. The SEE HALL OF FAME, PAGE 8A

WHITE BEAR LAKE — When it comes to location of a downtown bus station, know this: The City Council has final say. Mayor Joe Emerson made that clear at the Oct. 23 council meeting, attended by Clark Avenue-area residents anxious about a rapid transit location they believe will alter the character of their neighborhood. To the dismay of many, the US Bank site at Clark and Second Street was singled out as a preferred location for a downtown bus terminus, complete with parking ramp, by a Rush Line Corridor working group. The volunteer group liked the fact buses could loop around the US Bank block unimpeded seven days a week from early morning to late at night. The bank would still occupy space at street level, along with other possible commercial/office tenants, and the site could easily serve as a terminus, or anchor, at the end of the 14-mile route. Not everyone is on board with the recommended location, however. The mayor, for one, is against the Clark Avenue station. “It won’t work there,” Emerson said. “We have to find another site. I hope wiser heads will prevail.” People attending the meeting weren’t allowed to address council; it wasn’t a public hearing after all. But they were encouraged to post comments online at rushline. org. Rush Line Planning Team member Beth Bartz, with SRF Consulting Group, a firm assisting the county in the project’s development, provided council an overview of the process and its purpose.

The corridor eventually will extend from Union Depot in St. Paul to Hinckley, 80 miles north. It has been identified by the Metropolitan Council/Metro Transit, MnDOT, the Rush Line Corridor Task Force and counties along the route as needed transportation based on population, employment and travel needs. “We have heard of the high level of interest in the downtown station,” said Bartz, who explained that a terminus station is unique from the others. “Planners desire a strong location at the end of the line with easy bus movement and a place where the bus operator can take a break and possibly charge the bus,” Bartz said. “We are looking for an under-utilized parcel that offers vibrant retail and

Trail design taking shape WHITE BEAR LAKE — Multiuse trail enthusiasts attended the second in a likely series of meetings last Thursday regarding the extension of the Bruce Vento Trail. Ramsey County Parks & Recreation hosted the meeting to gather input about preferred trail options, of which there are now two connecting Hwy. 96 to County Road J. The county’s director of planning and development, Scott Yonke, gave attendees a list of criteria and asked them to “put on their designer hats and design a trail” on large maps laid out on tables in the public safety training room.

Two proposed routes are shown on this map. The county plans to extend the Bruce Vento from Hwy. 96 to County Road J.

According to Yonke, those attending a first meeting Oct. 4 indicated a preference for the west side of Hwy. 61 due to congestion. Many also wanted a trail closer to downtown and one that paralleled the railroad tracks. Design criteria included a trail width of 12 feet; a realistic design as far as alignment and location, awareness of an active railway and a trail that has no negative effect on public parking or businesses. Yonke said a third meeting will be held in early December to consider the trail concepts. Eventually, the Bruce Vento will connect to the

As October ends on a rather mild note, it will be best remembered as a cold and wet month. Twenty of the thirty-one days were colder than normal, with eighteen days with rain. I can’t leave out that we did experience our first one-inch snow, October 14. This past weekend typified the month with clouds dominating and rain on Saturday. Sunday tried to make up for it with hints of sun. November Planets: Morning: Venus. Evening: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn.

Halloween

he trick–or-treat holiday is here. A few tips for this day include costume safety, children being accompanied by an adult, using cross walks and keeping costumes from obstructing sights and sounds. The American Academy of Pediatrics website has tips and suggestions, such as adding reflective tape to costumes, buying flame resistant costumes, making sure costume accessories like swords and sticks are not sharp or dangerous and never using decorative contact lenses, which are dangerous and actually illegal without a prescription. Review emergency plans with children like how to call 911 if they have an emergency or call if they become lost. If you’re Publisher’s home out driving, pay extra attention in our neighborhoods. As always, it’s View best to inspect all your candy, esCarter Johnson pecially handmade goods. If you’re passing out candy, make sure your yard and walkway is free of objects and well lit. Let’s make this Halloween a safe one. Voter Guide More than ever, it is important for every eligible citizen to get out and vote. To do this, one needs to understand what seats are open and who the candidates are. Another challenge if you’re new to the community is where to vote? Is it at the library, city or town hall, or local school? Once you’re in the booth, who will you be voting for? With people having limited time, it can be hard to get out to debates, one must find other ways to get an understanding of each candidate’s position on the issues. Here at Press Publications, our staff works hard to provide a comprehensive Voter Guide with candidate profiles and election locations. These profiles are available online or in print. If you need a copy, swing by our office or visit our website at www.presspubs.com. Voting is a right and it’s important that every eligible citizen cast their vote. The future of our community and schools depends on you and needs your support. Please do your part and vote Nov. 6. Community events One of our fastest growing sections of the paper in popularity is “What’s Happening.” Each week in our calendar pages we strive to give you a diverse listing of community events locally and throughout the region. We make every effort to publish submitted calendar items that meet our guidelines for two weeks leading up to the date of the event, as space allows. Priority is given to events that are open to the public and most likely to appeal to a majority of our readers. Calendar listings are free, and may include time, location, brief details, and contact information, such as a website, where readers can go to get more information. Event information for the printed paper can be e-mailed to us at calendar@presspubs.com. In addition, event organizers can submit information to the online calendar on our website. As of now, it is a separate process for submitting events for the “What’s Happening” section in the paper and the website. To submit online, you first have to create a user name and then you can submit your event. Our news staff reviews the events twice weekly for content and approval. For some events it may be beneficial to publish more detailed information or run them in the paper for a few specific weeks or for a longer period of time than the calendar pages allow. If that is the case, please invest in an advertisement by calling 651407-1200. If you have questions about the calendar guidelines or how to submit event information, please send an email or call 651-407-1226. Fall subscriber campaign As we finish up the fall subscriber campaign, I would like to say thank you to the many new and renewing subscribers. It’s because of you that we are able to keep staff and professional journalists cranking out important local news each week. We are excited to be publishing the list of finalists for the $250 local gift card giveaway. Thank you again. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

Season shifts from growing to giving

ctober winds bring the last of the root vegetables from our Giving Garden supporters, a cover crop planted on the food shelf garden to enrich next year’s soil, and an abundance of speaking requests to various churches, businesses, cable networks and more as our attention shifts from the growing season to the giving season. This month, as in year’s past, I’ve Movers & had the honor of speaking at varShaker ious workplace giving events Andréa about the good Kish-Bailey work of the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf, our generous community, and the growing need for food many local families are experiencing. Often, and much to the surprise of those organizing such events, there are neighbors sitting in the audience who have and do utilize the food shelf. The irony of the situation seems to always catch me off guard.

“This place is proof positive of how neighbors look out for and support their community; whether you volunteer, donate or have hit a rough patch in life...there’s a place for everyone here.” I come to such events prepared to educate folks on the need and raise funds to do the work. I speak about the growth in our programs — nearly doubling the amount of families served each month since 2015. I describe our new innovative programs such as our Mobile and Free Farmer’s Markets that allow us to reach 60 percent more seniors than we did the year before. I tell them about “Give A Gobble” and how a donation at Kowalski’s this November can provide a Thanksgiving Feast to 400 local families. I share with them stories of mothers and fathers struggling to provide healthy groceries for their families, many working two or three jobs, making too much

to qualify for county or federal assistance but not enough to make ends meet. It’s usually at this point in my presentation that I see heads nod, and a reddening of eyes on the faces I recognize. As there was a point in my childhood when we were just barely scrapping by due to a job loss and divorce, I know that life can change in an instant. I know how hard my mom worked to keep a roof over our head. I watched her struggle, face ﬂushed with humiliation as she asked for help. Someone asked me this week, “Why should folks give over the holidays?” My answer? Because you can. “This place is proof positive of how neighbors look out for and support their community; whether you volunteer, donate or have hit a rough patch in life...there’s a place for everyone here.” — a neighbor Andréa Kish-Bailey is executive director of the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf.

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS www.presspubs.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Station St ti a tterrible ibl id idea I absolutely agree with Greg Lees’ Letter to the Editor (Oct. 17, “Stop bus station fiasco”). Whoever came up with the idea for a transit hub in downtown White Bear Lake has a lot to learn. I have lived in White Bear Lake my whole 85 years. This is a terrible idea. The thought of adding floors to the US Bank building is just a nightmare. What happens in two, four or five years when you find out the ridership is just not there? What will you do with that space? This project will not work in White Bear Lake. Greg was correct: put it over by Walmart in Vadnais Heights. There will NOT be the ridership you are expecting. If this must go through, put up a small see-through shelter that can be eliminated when the time and facts become a reality. This is not a good thing for White Bear Lake. The ridership will not be there for buses to run every 10 to 15 minutes. What a waste of money. Rethink this nightmare. It will not work in this town. Mary Moehrle White Bear Lake

Residents take heed You are right, Greg Lees (Letters to editor, Oct. 17). Does White Bear really want transit buses messing up the “city by the lake?” Residents take heed. Go home, Metropolitan Council. White Bear Council, stop, before it is too late. Example: Downtown St. Paul. It is a mess. Bet Metro Council told you transit would bring you money and you fell for it? Marian Finegan Mahtomedi

T k issue Takes i with ith singlei l payer health care I’m compelled to take issue with Rep. Roger Chamberlain’s remarks on single-payer health care. Firstly, comparing the iPhone to health care is disingenuous. People know what they want from a phone whereas patients often have very little idea of what they want or need regarding their health. Secondly, for-profit health care means that insurance and health care companies are driven by corporate interests rather than patient care. American health care is therefore the most exorbitantly expensive yet most inefficient system in the developed world. Although ostensibly a private system, the U.S. government spends more money on health care per capita than any other nation on the planet (including those with single-payer systems, such as Israel and the UK) and yet the U.S. still has generally worse outcomes. Thirdly, in single-payer systems your health care is not out of your control. In every current system the patient can choose their doctor, hospital and treatment; certainly no less than with private insurance. The health care infrastructure would remain essentially the same except that the state covers the costs rather than the individual and their insurance. Personally, I’d have as much trust in a state-paid doctor than one provided by my insurance company. Lastly, as for the alleged lack of research and innovation, this is simply untrue. The purpose of drug and medical companies is to create products and sell them, whether that’s to a government or private company. Overall, state-based purchases are more

fficient i tb t t demands d d effi because th the state the best, most suitable products and is, crucially, immune to the sales tactics, kickback and incentive schemes of, say, pharmaceutical fi rms, which completely distort and inflate the private market. Do American defense companies lack innovation and cutting-edge research because the military is government-run? Of course not. The military has some of the most advanced weaponry and technology known to man. With this in mind, I assume the disdain Rep. Chamberlain shows for government-run institutions extends to other crucial areas of life, such as defense and education. Does Rep. Chamberlain really want to privatize the armed forces and public schools? If so, then he should be brave enough to say so. Mark Wittgenstein White Bear Lake

Thanks for leadership on resource protection As someone who has been involved in water depletion and contamination issues in the Pineland Sands Area, I watch with great interest the White Bear Lake water level issue. What the residents of your area have accomplished in regard to forcing DNR to (finally) protect water resources for sustainable use may be the precursor to action that is being considered in our area, and we are thankful for the leading role your community has taken. It would appear there is a major move in public sentiment toward seriously getting out in front of the environmental degradation curve, and this was evidenced at the last

E i t lQ lit B d (EQB) Environmental Quality Board meeting at MPCA Headquarters Oct. 17, where Minnesota residents were allowed “a little input.” As those in your community know, government is definitely not in step with residents who have to live with the effects of regulatory foot-dragging and outright denial of statutory responsibility for protection of public resources. The message the citizen input drove home at this meeting was that too often industry interests are prioritized without consideration for the sustainable use of resources and human health impacts. All of those who spoke as citizens were alarmed at our unsustainable ecological course and adamant that the EQB take bold action to mitigate and reverse damages accumulating in our environment. As we continue addressing water issues, it’s clear that our two communities are not alone in being outraged at government inaction. Personally, I doubt that government or industry will lead in the urgent manner necessary to regain sustainable living. I have much more confidence that regular, informed people will be the driver for change in this arena, by modifying their own lives as quickly as they see fit. Your action to protect White Bear Lake is indirectly protecting the quality of one of your drinking water supplies, the Mississippi River, by clearing a legal path to protection of watersheds across the state. We in the Mississippi Headwaters area thank you and will have an easier time sending cleaner water downstream because of your efforts. Mike Tauber Backus

State’s infrastructure gets mediocre grade ST. PAUL — Tuesday, Oct. 9 was a red-letter day at the State Capitol and that letter was a “C”. That’s the grade civil engineers gave the Gopher State for its aging infrastructure. In the inaugural 2018 Report Card for Minnesota’s Infrastructure released by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the state earned an overall grade of “C,” or “mediocre and requiring attention.” Nine categories of infrastructure were graded by the society, including aviation, bridges, dams, drinking water, energy, ports, roads, transit and wastewater. Aviation earned the highest grade of “B,” or “adequate for now.” The report notes that in 2017, Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport and reliever airports underwent $455 million in improvements. On the other end of the grading scale are Minnesota’s roads, many in poor condition, earning a grade of “D+.” Congestion is a major problem in the Twin Cities; the average driver spends 41 peak hours stuck in traffic each year, and the problem is going to get worse as more people move in. The report also found: • 5.4 percent of bridges in the state are structurally deficient, significantly below the national average. Grade: C. • Most of Minnesota’s dams are more than 50 years old and beyond their design life. Grade: C. • The 20-year drinking water infrastructure need is $7.5 billion. Unless funding is increased, most of this will be raised through local utility fees. About 79 percent of Minnesotans are served by community drinking systems, while 21 percent rely on private wells. Grade: C-. • Wastewater facilities require $236 million annually to fund upgrades to treatment and collection systems, of which local communities will provide about one-third. Grade: C. • A $450 million investment is needed over the next five years to keep the state’s 50-plus public transit systems in working order. Public transportation provides 111 million rides per year. Grade: C-. A full copy of the report is available at www.infrastructureReportCard.org/Minnesota. Compiled from press release

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:

Vadnais Heights • A vehicle parked Oct. 18 in the driveway of a residence in the 4100 block of Kaitlin Drive — and locked the owner said, but found unlocked in the morning — was ransacked during the night. Gone were a Sony Bluetooth transmitter, a garage door opener, a passport and personal trinkets including an angel statue. The total loss was estimated at $70. • A 59-year-old Lindstrom woman reported the theft of her purse from an overhead bin at her workplace in the 3500 block of Arcade Street on Oct. 18. Besides regular purse stuff, the loss included a checkbook, credit cards, gift cards and an undisclosed amount of cash. No suspects. • A woman, approximately 40-45 years old, left her wallet and keys at a store in the 900 block of County Road E the evening of Oct. 18 as security so she could test-ride a Specialized Como 2.0 E-bike. The suspect never returned the electronic bike, and an investigation is underway. • A thief, or more than likely two, cut the cable to a pair of bikes on the rear of a vehicle parked in the 1300 block of Willow Lake Boulevard the afternoon of Oct. 18. The stolen bicycles were valued at a total of $900. No suspects. • A victim whose license plates were stolen two months earlier spotted a Ram truck Oct. 19 at

a Highway 61 gas station displaying the plates while an unknown driver pumped gas. He reported it, a surveillance tape was provided, and the investigation suddenly took a turn for the better. • A 28-year-old St. Paul man was arrested for shoplifting the evening of Oct. 19 at Walmart. No other details were released. • A deputy stopped a woman for “driving conduct” in the early morning hours of Oct. 22 in the 1000 block of County Road E. The 33-year-old out of St. Paul was unable to pass field sobriety tests and was booked into jail on a fourth-degree DWI charge. • A man attempted to drop his vehicle off for service in the 3400 block of Highway 61 on Oct. 22 with his dog inside. The 54-year-old Blaine man, who was told he could not leave the barking dog in the vehicle while it was being serviced, then brought the dog into the business and began threatening employees. Deputies arrived, and the suspect was given a “letter of trespass.”

White Bear Township • Investigating the theft of a wallet from a vehicle Oct. 18 in the 2600 block of South Shore Boulevard, deputies learned that five males in hoodies had used the victim’s credit card at a Walgreen’s in Woodbury for a purchase of $491. An investigation continues. • A woman on Otter Lake Road called 911 Oct. 18 for an undisclosed reason, then remembered she

had a gross misdemeanor warrant for her arrest and hung up. Deputies answered the 911 hang-up as they always do, and booked the 34-year-old into jail on the warrant. • Deputies answered an Oct. 18 call reporting two people fighting in a vehicle in the 1000 block of Meadowlands Drive. When they arrived, only one person was found and she said her boyfriend had fled the scene after punching her in the face and head several times. Witnesses in the area corroborated the 23-year-old Maplewood woman’s story and deputies are looking for the 25-year-old St Paul man on a domestic assault charge. The victim was treated for her injuries. • A woman told authorities she received a call Oct. 19 from man who said he was her boss at work. The “boss” advised the woman to purchase $800 in Google gift cards. When she did that, the “boss” called back and told the woman to purchase an additional $1,000 in gift cards and to take photos of the gift card numbers and text the photos to the “boss.” The victim later spoke to her actual boss who said he had not called her. The loss totaled $1,800. • A shopper at a store in the 1000 block of Meadowlands Drive mixed it up Oct. 22 with a shoplifter he saw stealing a pair of gloves. When the shoplifter, a 37-year-old St. Paul Park woman, hit the shopper and tried to flee, the 56-year-old local man pushed the suspect back into the store and alerted security. The shoplifter was cited and released.

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

dumped in the road Oct. 22 near the intersection of 75th Street. N. and Kimbro Avenue N. Deputies moved the couches to the side of the road for the Grant public works department for disposal.

Grant • A resident in the 6000 block of Lake Elmo N. on Oct. 15 reported being bilked out of $2,500 and a new driveway after he and a recycling/seal coating company came to a verbal agreement in which the complainant would trade his three semi-sized beer trailers to the company for cash and a seal-coated driveway. The company took the trailers and scrapped them at NRI in Hugo, but never paid the complainant. The phone number used in the transaction is no longer in service. When Washington County Sheriff’s deputies contacted the company, they learned it was a legitimate company, but the owners had never heard of the two men who made the deal with the complainant. The investigation continues as deputies contact NRI looking to discover the identity of the men who scrapped the trailers. • A St. Paul man, 37, was arrested Oct. 19 in the 11000 block of Julianne Avenue N. on a warrant. • Two couch sections were reported

Mahtomedi • A Falcon Heights man, 41, was cited at 12:10 a.m. Oct. 15 in the 60 block of Wildwood Beach Road for driving after revocation after deputies on stationary patrol near Stillwater Road and Wildwood Road pulled him over for a missing headlight and failure to signal a turn and conducted a random computer check. The driver told deputies he knew about his headlight and didn’t signal until he was halfway through the intersection because he was watching the squad car. The subject was also warned about equipment violation. • The owner of MJL Construction on Oct. 15 reported the theft of a $3,200 closed construction trailer containing $9,600 in tools from a building site in the 200 block of Park Avenue. The trailer is black with no markings. • An Oakdale woman, 46, a Mahtomedi woman, 37, and a White Bear Lake woman, 26, are suspected of shoplifting $124 worth of merchandise from the Freedom Valu Center in the 700 block of Stillwater Road Oct. 17 before fleeing in a red van. Deputies located the van and the three females resembling those shown in the store video entering a residence in the 800 block of Southwest Road. Attempts

by deputies to identify the female accomplices were unsuccessful. Items missing from the store include a carton of Newport cigarettes, a can of Pringles, multiple frozen pizzas and deli sandwiches. • A Mahtomedi woman, 35, was arrested Oct. 17 in the 200 block of Hallam Curve after deputies observed her standing in a driveway and recognized her as having an outstanding warrant. She was taken into custody without incident. • A checkbook was reported stolen Oct. 18 from the 70 block of Locust Street after Bayport police passed along information to deputies about a possible burglary in Mahtomedi. The complainant said she thought someone came to her residence and lifted a checkbook, which was used to cash approximately $14,000 in checks at US Bank and the subject’s financial bank. Attempts to contact the subject were unsuccessful. The investigation continues. • A Little Canada woman, 33, was cited at 12:11 a.m. Oct. 19 at the intersection of Wildwood Road and Stillwater Road for failure to provide proof of insurance and for license plate tabs that expired in September 2018 after being pulled over for no passenger side headlight. • A Ham Lake woman, 22, was cited Oct. 19 outside Century College in the 3300 block of Century Avenue for tabs that expired in February and proof of insurance that expired in December 2017. The driver told deputies she knew the registration had expired and had received a ticket for that vio-

lation within the past two weeks. She also stated that she didn’t have time to acquire the registration. • A White Bear Lake man, 25, was cited Oct. 20 on Century Avenue N. at Wildwood Road for possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia in a motor vehicle after deputies observed the motorist run a stop sign at the intersection of Cedar Street and Oakridge Drive and smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle. The subject voluntarily handed over two Ziploc bags containing the pot and a glass pipe with marijuana residue. • A Blaine man, 27, was arrested Oct. 21 for fifth-degree domestic assault and for violating an order for protection (OFP) after he spent the night at a residence in the 1000 block of Echo Lake Court and got into an argument with the woman who had filed the OFP, before shoving and elbowing her. After deputies filed a KOPS alert to surrounding counties, the Blaine police department arrested him at his residence. Before transporting the subject to jail, Washington County Sheriff’s deputies also served him with a citation for domestic assault.

Pine Springs • A resident in the 6000 block of Hilton Trail N. on Oct. 19 reported a man for coming to her door and discussing equipment that the complainant had in her yard and saying he would normally just steal that equipment because he was an addict. He also told the complainant that he performed arborist services.

White Bear adds officer to ranks WHITE BEAR LAKE — A familiar face at the Police Department will now wear a badge. Police Chief Julie Swanson introduced her newest officer, Samuel Shafer, at the Oct. 23 City Council meeting before he was sworn in by Clerk Kara Coustry. Shafer grew up in the Woodbury-Cottage Grove area, graduating from East Ridge High School. He started as an Explorer in 2014, joined reserves in 2015 and was hired as a community service officer about two years ago. One of his duties was to deliver the council packets to council members on the Thursday before the meetings. Shafer became a full-time officer last week to replace the officer reassigned as a DWI enforcer. Swanson described her latest hire as a “quiet leader who serves as a mentor to the reserve officers.” Debra Neutkens

Pound puppy ﬁnds new career There is no doubt about it, Captain Kirk is a ham in front of the cameras. The poundpuppy-turned-media-darling knows how to turn on the charm and command a room when the cameras are rolling. But make no mistake, Captain Kirk knows where his handler is at all times, keeping an eye out for him across a crowded room. He’s dialed in and ready to work at a moment’s notice. Captain Kirk is a rescue dog who came to the Animal Humane Society-Woodbury via Alabama. Sheriff Dan Starry had suggested to K-9 Sgt. Ty Jacobson that the Washington County Sheriff’s Office should try using a rescue dog as a K-9, saving money and saving a life if it worked out. Sgt. Jacobson worked with the Animal Humane Society, giving the organization a list of traits to look for in the rescued and surrendered dogs they encountered. After a few false starts and several months, the K-9 deputy received a call from the shelter with a possible fit, and after spending time with Kirk, determined he was a match. Captain Kirk returned to the Animal Humane Society earlier this month, where he blithely accepted his K-9 narcotics diploma and sat eagerly for his badge pinning. He received a new squeaky toy for

RUSH LINE: Planners will revisit sites considered for downtown bus station FROM PAGE 1A

is an asset to downtown.” The planning team estimates average ridership along the corridor at 8,000 rides per day. An estimated 100,000 jobs are within a half mile of the route. Business owners facing challenges with finding employees have made their concerns known to the team. Bartz said they’ve talked to Saputos, Grandma’s Bakery and The Waters, as well as St. John’s Hospital, all businesses that would benefit from the Rush Line. Studies initiated more than a decade ago determined that bus rapid transit was the preferred method to move people between St. Paul and White Bear Lake. Buses would operate in their own lane for most of the route. They are also quiet and electric or hybrid-electric buses with low emissions. The demand on the terminus and the disruption it may cause is yet to be determined, noted City Manager Ellen Hiniker. “That is part of the environmental assessment. There are many things to consider as we dig deeper.” Councilman Dan Jones assured those in attendance certain areas would be off limits. Like the mayor, he doesn’t like the Clark Avenue site and can’t visualize dozens of buses a day going by Cup and Cone. “We have a 120-year-old downtown; we’re not going to screw it up,” Jones said. He also reminded residents that downtown had multiple sets of railroad tracks in the ‘60s that brought trains. “Now it’s buses,” he added. Councilman Bill Walsh would prefer to see the entire project go away. “Do we even want this bus line coming to White Bear?” he asked. “Will it hurt our small-town feel? We should talk about that first.” Holding an opposite view is Councilman Doug Biehn. He supports the route and feels White Bear Lake has been “left out” when it comes to mass transit. “We need this,” Biehn said. Councilman Kevin Edberg feels a terminus accessible to downtown is needed but thinks it should be west of Hwy. 61. He added that the citizens who “spent hours to make these recommendations should be thanked for their time.” Funding is another issue. Walsh said he is concerned that staff at the county and city level are spending a lot of time on something that does not have state or federal funding. “The cart is before the horse,” he stated. Capital costs to build the 20 stations along the route are estimated at $420 million with $8 million needed

for annual operating costs. Bartz said 49 percent of the funding will come from the federal government and 51 percent from Ramsey County’s half-cent sales tax. The transitway development process is expected to extend five to six years before construction begins. Station area planning is part of the two-year environmental analysis phase currently underway. Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority is the lead local agency during this phase. The next four to six months will focus on refining locations for station platforms along the route, some of which include a parking component. Three or four of the 20 stations will be in the city of White Bear Lake. Buerkle Road has been added as a potential location, along with Cedar Avenue, White Bear Avenue/Whitaker and downtown. Of seven sites considered downtown, three were thought to offer a good fit: the post office site, the northeast corner of Fourth Street and Bloom Avenue (west of Hwy. 61) and Clark Avenue north of Second Street. The Clark Avenue site was the preferred alternative. The Rush Line Policy Advisory Committee, which includes elected officials from communities along the corridor, accepted the working group study late September. The Rush Line planning team is now working with city councils affected along the corridor to evaluate the recommended sites. The White Bear council will be asked to select station locations for further evaluation by the county through a federally required environmental assessment process. The project is anticipated to be handed off to the Metropolitan Council at the end of the environmental analysis phase when it enters the project development phase of the Federal Transit Administration’s Capital Investment Grants program as a New Starts project. In the weeks ahead, staff anticipates considerable discussion, comments and questions regarding the location of a downtown station. The city manager assured residents there will be more public engagement opportunities scheduled and alternatives will be part of these discussions. Bartz too, said the project team will go back to the list developed by the working group for a broader look at options. “We will consider feedback provided on benefits and concerns and identify top candidates for the downtown site.” The matter is expected to return to a council agenda sometime in January.

I saw Maury Yeston’s “Phantom of the Opera” (SO much better than Andrew Lloyd Webber’s version, which practically stole “Phantom” from Maury!) at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre when I was about 5 years old and I was so taken aback by how so much fun could be real, taking place in front of me, I tried to start right there. I literally charged the stage, convinced this was my start, not even knowing it was a play, but my mother caught me before I could climb up on stage! My real start began when I was in some Children’s Theatre summer show when I was 8 or so. I’ve been obsessed with acting since as early as memory serves.

Q: What are your overall career goals? In doing more comedic, improvised based work out in Los Angeles, it seems I fit in best when being funny and coming up with funny ideas in the moment. My goals are to be a consistently working actress with an artistically satisfying career. I would also love to return to theater, musicals, and I would give anything to be in a period piece film or play. I love the work and so my goal is to work.

Q: What is the highlight of your career thus far? I’d like to say honestly I hope it has yet to come, as I still feel I am just starting out and have so much I want to accomplish! But one highlight thus far is performing with my improv team, Cornbread Kitchen. We’ve just booked our first regular monthly show at the top improv theater in LA, Upright Citizens Brigade. It was so competitive to book this show and we got it because of our combined talent. Our very first show was this August and we had standing room only, we packed the theater to capacity and the audience was roaring with genuine laughter. As a performer, I want to affect people and know they’re entertained, so knowing that I’ve made people that happy and getting messages weeks after about how much they enjoyed the show, hearing gut laughter in the audience, and so on, there’s no feeling like being able to provide that kind of joy for people.

Q: What has been most rewarding about your career path to date and what has been most challenging? What’s rewarding is when it works out: you book the film, the commercial, the writing job, you’re in a great sketch comedy group, so on. What’s challenging is when it doesn’t work out, which is 90 percent of the time for a majority of actors in any market as big as LA. When you’re going to auditions day in, day out, get called back but don’t book it; when your day job isn’t lenient or forgiving to your other, real day job — acting; when you can’t find an agent who consistently sends you out for roles that are right for you; when you can’t make money from acting alone. Can you tell I could go on!? It’s pure

hustle 90 percent of the time. But that is why you have to love it and work harder, and be more resilient than you ever thought you could be.

Q: What might surprise readers about the acting profession? So much of the acting profession is not as much about talent anymore. Now, it’s about social media followers and who you know. The upside to that is that by creating content that people like, you can develop a following, you can make your own creative world and establish your career as you see fit. The downside is that if you don’t have thousands of followers (which are sometimes bought followers) you often won’t even be considered.

Q: Have you ever been in awe of a fellow actor or director? If so, whom? No. Just kidding! I am in awe of the crew on any set. They are on their feet from call time to wrap, they’re making you and everything in the shot look just right. Without the crew, there is no set. They work so hard and they have taught me so much along the way. Of course, I have plenty of fellow actors and directors I love too, but every single set I’m on I’m in awe of the people behind the scenes who make it possible for me to do what I love.

Q: Are you making a living in acting — it’s highly competitive after all — or do you have to supplement with a part-time job? I have at least 3 part-time jobs. One of those jobs is acting and writing. The goal is to only be acting, improvising and, like my bio says, modeling but having to keep my day job. That day job being acting ...

Q: What’s in your five-year plan career-wise? My improv team and I have plans, but I’ve been instructed to not make them known as it is a highly competitive atmosphere!

Q: What do you like to do when you’re not working? Where do you live? Do your parents still live in WBL? How often do you get back? When I’m not working I am working! But that’s because I love what I do. I have an amazing dog, Bobbi, who looks exactly like Robert Duvall, which is why I’ve named her Bobbi. We go to the dog park all the time. I live in Westwood and love updating and redecorating my apartment — it’s got great light and is huge for Los Angeles. My father still lives in White Bear Lake and though I don’t get back often, I so miss it and want to come back ASAP!

Q: Do you miss anything about WBL or Minnesota? Kowalski’s is my idea of a good time! Lifetime Fitness is my jam! Cafe Cravings is my true love! I miss so many things about Minnesota! What I miss most is the overall deep kindness toward one another. It’s just a different culture in big cities that’s neither better or worse, it just is. Minnesotans aren’t just nice for the sake of being nice — a goodness has been instilled in us to do right and there’s a learned value in that by way of experience. For example, sometimes I’ll be walking to

get breakfast in LA, I’ll get out of my car, look up and walk past a stranger I make eye contact with, so I say “good morning!” and More often than not, I get nothing back or they’ll literally turn around, thinking I was talking to someone else! In Minnesota, when you say “good morning,” not only do you get a “good morning” back, but you’ll get a smile, a “good morning, how are ya?” Minnesotans give so much and, gosh darnit, it’s just so nice! I miss it.

Q: When did you move to L.A.? Do you like sunny California? In 2012 and yes, I love the sun! I’ve never been a snow bunny, sad to say.

Q: Do you have any websites or social networks where people can stay up to date with your career? Yes! Please follow me on Instagram at anikacorinaa https://www.instagram.com/anikacorinaa/

Q: Do you have advice for area students considering a career in acting? Get on YouTube; start a vlog; start writing a script, shoot that script, learn how to edit it and submit that film to local and national festivals; start creating what you imagine yourself acting in; learn how to light, do sound, be your own DP, learn how to do it all. The entertainment world has changed, and the performers and players who work the most aren’t the ones with no names who come out to LA or New York with nothing to offer. Start to build your name, your career, as soon as possible if you’re serious about acting. Churn out work when you’re young because the more you do, the better you’ll get, or the faster you will arrive at the conclusion that you want to do something else. Either way, if you want to act, act! It’s nowhere near easy, and half of it isn’t the fun you see in the final product, which is the performance. A lot of it is schlep and uphill, but I guess that’s in part why it is so rewarding too. If you love the work, you’ll make it work!

Loon Chronicles III: Thinking about the big trip “This week was bittersweet.We took our fishing boat off the lake on Wednesday and scheduled as many outings that day jobs and weather would allow, earlier in the week. I will not miss shivering and coming back sopping wet, but I will miss being so close to all that nature has to offer on White Bear Lake. We learn or see something new on every trip. This week was no exception. We stumbled upon a very rambunctious trio of Horned Grebes that kept us busy as they tried to out pace and out smart us. We, nevertheless, managed to follow them back and forth across the lake, a few times. Like Loons, Grebes are divers and can stay under water longer than one might expect, which makes following them quite the adventure. The flocks of Gulls continue to get smaller. Maybe, the water is getting too cold because they have been spending more time hovering above the lake than in the lake. The Coots have been more skittish, if that is even possible, spending more of their time deep in the bulrushes. The two juvenile Loons also have been hard to find. On our last trip, we did find the pair bouncing in the waves and fishing. At one point, one of the juveniles paused and had the most contemplative expression, as depicted in the center frame; most likely pondering the big journey ahead. They better get going!”

LOOKING BACK Week of October 28 – November 3, 2018 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1918 There is still an uncomfortable number of cases of influenza in White Bear Village and Town, making it necessary to continue the restrictions imposed upon our community probably for some time to come. 1943 Thursday forenoon an airplane at Northport training field knocked down the main line of the Northern State Power Co. As a result White Bear was without electricity for an hour. It was a bad job but the Power company was prompt in making repairs. Fortunately the pilot of the plane was not injured severely. 1968 Northwestern Bell Telephone Company asks the cooperation of candidates seeking public office and their campaign managers and workers in not placing campaign posters on telephone poles. Manager A. C. Knobel said the nails and staples used to fasten signs to poles often remain in the wood and can present a serious hazard to telephone men who climb poles for service reasons. 1993 A second home in the usually quiet Eighth Street neighborhood of White Bear Lake was strafed with bullets from a drive-by shooting

Zephyrs blast Highland 50-30, face Tartan in section football finals BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mahtomedi will pursue its third consecutive section football crown, hosting Tartan on Friday evening, after both teams reached the 50-point marker in semifi nal routs. The Zephyrs turned back St. Paul Highland Park 50-30 while Tartan routed St. Paul Central 55-0. Both are 7-2. Tartan beat the Zephyrs 21-17 in a conference game, but Mahtomedi got top seed due to higher QRF score and will host the game Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. “Tartan is very athletic,” said Zephyr coach Dave Muetzel. “They have a tailback who can go 80 yards on you at any time. They have a very good wide receiver and a quarterback who can really throw.” Against Highland Park, a touchdown off an onside kickoff capped the day for the Zephyrs.

The visiting Scotts pulled within 43-30 with 3:12 left and tried an onside kick but shanked the ball toward the sideline. Dean Trowbridge, a tight end, scooped up the ball with nobody in front of him and bolted 48 yards to the end zone, on his fi rst and most likely last kickoff return. Otherwise the Zephyr scoring was more conventional as they zoomed to a 33-0 lead. Jake Arlandson passed to J’vonne Hadley for a 48-yard touchdown and to Tyler Tangwall for an eight-yarder. The quarterback scored on keepers of six and one yard. There were touchdown runs by Eric Bjork (16 yards) and Michael Hershey (six yards). Kyle Oswald chipped an 18-yard field goal and five conversions. Highland Park, down 33-0, got quick points after Zephyr kicking team mishaps — a fumbled punt that set up a short touchdown drive, and a high snap into the end zone for a safety.

White Bear boys CC misses state berth BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake boys cross country placed third in the Section 4AA meet last Wednesday, missing out on a state team berth while three individuals qualified. Stillwater cruised to the championship with 39 points, led by individual winner Addison Stansbury. St. Paul Highland Park had 63 and White Bear Lake 76 for the top three among 14 teams at Bolstad Golf Course in Falcon Heights. Bear senior Tryg Solberg placed sixth in 16:13.9. Also qualifying were juniors Max Nelson in 13th (16:33.9) and Isaac Maruyama in 17th (16:42.8). The top five also

had sophomore Trevor Locke 20th (16:49.2) and junior Logan Tanttu 21st (17:00.1). “It’s weird being fi rst (at section) last year and fourth at state, and not going as a team this year,” acknowledged coach Dan Kovacich, adding that this was the fi rst time since 2010 the Bears didn’t make state as a team. “Highland Park has three studs, but their 4-7 is weak. We didn’t have help from other teams,” Kovacich assessed. “There are only four strong teams in the section, and when your fourth runner is 30 to 49 seconds faster than their fourth, most meets that will help you (beat them), but not in this one.”

Bear girls 2nd in section CC, earn 5th state trip in row BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake girls cross country placed runner-up in Section 4AA last Wednesday to qualify for state for the fifth straight season. Stillwater won with 32 points, followed by the Bears with 56 and St. Paul Highland Park with 69 for the top three slots among 10 teams at Bolstad Golf Course in Falcon Heights. “We knew that if we ran like we were capable, that we should finish in the top two,” said Bear coach Patricia Percival. The Bears had three of the top nine, led by junior Madeline Verkerke in sixth place (19:14.0), with freshman Maggie Blanding in eighth (19:32.2) and sophomore Elinor Handlin in ninth (19:37.8). Blanding was section champion last year. Also running strong were senior Olivia Schwintek in 16th (19:57.0) and sophomore Melanie Pankow in 17th (19:57.2). Highland Park had two runners ahead of Verkerke but the Bears beat the Scots anyway “because of how tightly packed together our team is,” said Percival. They’ve achieved this, she added, by training together since the summer. The Bears, who’ve been first three times and second twice at sections the last five years, head for the state meet on Saturday, Nov. 3, at St. Olaf College in Northfield.

White Bear Lake’s volleyball season ended with a 25-17, 25-21, 25-16 loss to Centennial in the first round of playoffs on Oct. 24. The Bears finished 6-21 with 12 straight losses. “Although our record doesn’t show it, our players made huge growths this season,” coach Mike Alexander assessed. “We put a ton of work into building the foundations on which we will build our program.” Alexander said his younger players showed persistence and fire in the season-ending loss, adding, “White Bear Lake volleyball has a bright future. We’re looking forward to getting to work for next season.”

Bears blanked by Crimson in section, finish 4-5 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake’s football season ended with a 28-0 loss to Maple Grove in the state playoffs Friday evening, denying the Bears a winning record. Coming off two straight 0-9 autumns, the Bears started the season 4-1 but finished 4-5 with four straight setbacks. “I’m a little disappointed how it ended, but four wins is good,” said coach Ryan Bartlett. “Any win is good in 6A.” Maple Grove (4-5) had a 5-11, 190-pound wrecking ball named Evan Hull who carried 30 times for 309 yards and three touchdowns, from three, 17 and 77

yards out, lifting his season totals to 1,825 yards and 19 TDs. The Bears, who averaged 26 points through seven games, lost their last two 21-7 to Mounds View and 28-0 to the Crimson. “A combination of good defense and bad offense,” Bartlett assessed about the last two games. At Maple Grove, the Bears had 93 yards in 21 runs while Cooper Anderson was 10-for-21 for 99 yards with two interceptions. Dominic Smith had five catches for 41 yards and Kevin Boeing three for 37. Brice Peters totaled 67 yards in nine carries. The Bears’ only two big plays came on one drive when Peters broke a 50-yard run and Anderson hit Boeing with a 28-yard toss to the two-yard line. How-

ever, the Crimson stuffed two runs and two passes, and remained ahead 21-0. Anderson, after six games, had 10 touchdown passes against two interceptions. He was picked off nine times in the last three games — including three in a 36-28 loss to Cretin Derham Hall while also notching two TD passes as the Bears rallied from a 20-0 deficit — and finished with 12 TDs and 11 interceptions. Bartlett blamed that in part on falling behind in the last three games and not running well in the last two. “Before, we were able to pass when we wanted to, not when we had to,” he said. “We’ve always said, when we have to pass over 20 times, we’re in trouble.”

Zephyr whiz kid makes state tennis debut as lone 7th-grader BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Annika Munson lost both her matches at the state tennis tournament, but they’ll be hearing a lot more from this serious young player from Mahtomedi in years to come. Munson was the only seventh grader among 32 qualifiers in the Class AA and A tournaments. She is ranked No. 1 for 12-and-under in the northern region of the United States Tennis Association. Her record for the Zephyrs was 23-4. The Section 4AA singles champion lost state matches to Armstrong junior Nicole Snezheko 6-2, 6-3 and Orono junior Lilly Anderson 7-5, 6-4 at the University of Minnesota last Thursday, Oct. 25. Munson enters up to 20 local and national tournaments each year. She competed in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Las Vegas, and Michigan in the past year. Munson listed these goals as she looks ahead: “High school, win a state team title and win state individual championship. USTA, become ranked at least top 10 in the nation. Beyond: very highest level of Division I and, if possible, professional tennis.” She said her top achievements so far have been raising her national USTA ranking to No. 65 this summer, and making “friends all over the nation.” The daughter of two tennis players — mom Kari played for Mahtomedi, and dad Ross for St. Cloud Tech — she started at age seven. “My wife and I initially took her out to the tennis courts and found

that she was a quick learner, and loved to play it,” Ross said. “But, introducing her to the game, and practicing with her, is the extent of our involvement with her initial development.” She has been coached since June 2017 by Scott Courter in his academy five days a week. Scott is the father of Julia Courter, who coaches the Zephyrs and the Hamline University tennis teams. The youngster puts in about 15 hours a week during the school year and up to 30 in the summer, including significant physical conditioning.

Mahtomedi girls, seeking 8th state soccer title, roll into semifinals BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Once a Mahtomedi girls soccer team — any Mahtomedi girls soccer team — reaches a state tournament, they are awfully hard to stop. The 2018 edition of the Zephyrs blanked Bemidji 5-0 in the Class A quarterfinals last Wednesday at St. Cloud State. Mahtomedi has now won 30 of 36 state tournament games in 14 trips, and is seeking its eighth state title.

Zephyr CC teams close season, each 7th in section The Mahtomedi boys placed seventh among 14 teams and the girls placed seventh among 10 teams at the Section 4AA meet last Wednesday at the University of Minnesota’s Bolstad Golf Course. For the Zephyr boys, Ethan Barr placed 41st, Reid Lawrence 42nd, Ben Lundsten 45th,

Lucas Granec 52nd and Aaron Hoislin 56th. For the girls, Sarah Brings placed 26th, Makayla Fischer 37th, Lauren Whiterabbit 48th, Maya Tarnowski 53rd and Lauren Johnson 56th. Bruce Strand

Zephyr kickers stymied at state by Bemidji 1-0 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mahtomedi’s bid for a state title in boys soccer was thwarted by Bemidji 1-0 in the Class A quarterfinals last Wednesday evening. Bemidji forward Silas Hess scored in the sixth minute and the lead stood at St. Cloud State University as the Lumberjacks (17-2-1) achieved its first-ever state tournament victory. Mahtomedi (16-3) was seldom able to cross midfield with the ball in the first half, but mounted fierce pressure on goal in the last five minutes. They just couldn’t get one in the net. “We had to be very defensively stout tonight,” Bemi-

dji coach Rick Toward told the Bemidji Pioneer. “That was a very good attacking Mahtomedi team. (Helio) De La Torre, he’s a Mr. Soccer finalist. We kept him fairly quiet … Our back line was very, very strong tonight and supported real well with our mids.” Bemidji has posted 11 shutouts and yielded only 14 goals in 20 games. Down the stretch for Mahtomedi, a header by Gavin Goralnick was snagged by Bemidji goalie JD Bitter, and Dylan L’Allier had an opening from 10 yards but booted the ball just over the net. With the box flooded, the Zephyrs were tripped twice and had free kicks from about 10 yards, but the Lumberjack defenders continued to hold firm.

Former Zephyr pitcher won 13 games in Orioles chain this summer Michael Baumann, one of two Mahtomedi graduates pitching in professional baseball, had a good minor league season in the Baltimore Orioles chain this summer. Baumann, 22, a third-round pick by the Orioles in 2017, out of the University of Jacksonville, won 13 games for two Maryland teams. The 6-4, 225-pound right-hander was 5-0 with 1.42 ERA and 47 strikeouts in 38 innings for the Delmarva Shorebirds of the South Atlantic League, a Class A league. He moved to a higher Class A level, the Caroli-

na League, and went 8-5 with a 4.08 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 92.7 innings for the Frederick Keys of Carolina League, In a Baltimore Sun article in early May, the Delmarva pitching coach, Justin Lords, said of Baumann: “He’s what they (big leaguers) look like in a uniform. He’s a big, strong kid. He’s got a good arm, and he really challenges hitters with his fastball. He pitches to both sides of the plate. He’s got good angle, and he’s got command of the game.” Baumann has pitched for four teams in

two pro seasons with a composite 17-7 record and 2.71 ERA with 149 strikeouts in 173 innings. The other ex-Zephyr in pro ball is Sean Hjelle, 21, a second-round pick by the San Francisco Giants this year, out of the University of Kentucky, who made his pro debut with Salem-Keizer (Oregon) of the Northwest League. He pitched 21.3 innings in 12 games and had a 5.09 ERA and 22 strikeouts. The 6-11 right-hander received a $1.5 million bonus as a second-round pick. Bruce Strand

Golfer rallies to win third MGA Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship LAKEVILLE – Olivia Herrick and Jasi Acharya entered the final round of the 22nd Minnesota Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship at The Legends Club with a share of the lead, and after 18 holes the two remained deadlocked atop the leaderboard at 6-over par 150. Herrick trailed by as many as four to Acharya at one point during the final round but was helped by a pair of birdies early on her back nine. Acharya carried a one-stroke lead to the final

hole before a three-putt bogey forced a playoff as both Herrick and Acharya carded a final round 77. Rolling in a short par putt on the first playoff hole, Herrick claimed her second victory of the season and her third MGA Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship in five years. “I really rallied on the back and made two birdies in a row on 11 and 12. I’ve played a lot of golf and I know that it’s never, ever over,” Herrick said follow-

ing her win Wednesday, Oct. 3. “Coming down the stretch I knew I needed to hang in there and stay focused and finish the round. “It’s been a tough summer and a long year. This feels like the hard work has paid off, which is a great feeling. It was also a nice way to bounce back from the [U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship], which I didn’t play great in and was disappointing for me.” Herrick, a member at Dellwood Coun-

try Club, earned her first victory of the season at the Women’s State Open on her home course, holding off four-time champion Lisa Grimes and 2013 winner Sarah Burnham. In the process, Herrick notched her fifth MGA Women’s Player of the Year honors since 2010. Submitted

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP NOTES

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — In action at the Oct. 15 meeting, the Town Board: • Continued a hearing regarding an assessment for Centerville Road improvements. The proposed assessment was applied to Cub Foods on Meadowlands Drive for $75,000 with an interest rate of 3.8 percent to be paid in yearly installments. A Cub Foods representative said he did not believe the assessment was fair and said his business had seen 5 to 8 percent less customers since the development and traffic light went in. The board will discuss the matter at the October executive meeting. • Heard a presentation on the stormwater pollution prevention program. In 2017, the town repaired catch basins, cleaned pollution control structures, reconstructed and replaced basins, cleaned storm pipes, installed a rain garden, improved a drainage valve manhole and replaced the end section on a pipe outlet. • Heard the third-quarter construction report. There have been 10 single-family home permits year-to-date in 2018. In the same period in 2017, there were 19 permits. There have been 458 miscellaneous residential permits approved year-todate in 2018. Year-to-date in 2017, there were 416. There have been 21 commercial permits approved year-to-date in 2018 and in the same period in 2017, there were 12. Permit revenue so far has been $102,785 and in 2017 at the same time, permit revenue was $101,607. • Approved a SCORE grant application to request $31,500 to assist with creation of a recycling program.

The contract is effective until the end of 2021. • Held a closed session discussing the White Bear Lake litigation. Maggie Stanwood

MAHTOMEDI – In action at its Oct. 16 meeting, the City Council: • Conducted a presentation and public hearing on the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)/ Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). This was a continuation of the annual public hearing that was held April 28 as part of the 2018 RITE of Spring event, which fulfilled that portion of the requirements for receiving a stormwater permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The city demonstrated how it has been fulfilling six program requirements: public education and outreach, public participation and involvement, illicit discharge detection and elimination, construction site stormwater runoff control, post-construction stormwater management, pollution prevention and good housekeeping practices for municipal operations. The second presentation and continued public hearing at the Oct. 16 meeting produced a written response from the city and its engineers to formal comments from residents, Tim and Sheila Dewuske, which they filed during the RITE of Spring event. At that event, Environmental Compliance Specialist Meghan Litsey of WSB spoke to eight residents about best practices they could implement at home, in addition to stormwater and the city’s SWPPP. • By a vote of 3-0 (Council members Timothy Deans and Steve Wolgamot were absent) approved an agreement relating to landowner improvements located within the city street right of way for the property at 123 Birch St. This property already has a driveway that encroaches onto city-owned property. The property owner is planning to construct a fence along their side property line to shield the property from the proposed Forest Avenue Trail. • Approved a request from property owners at 1136 Neville Ave. for a variance from the required lot area to reconstruct a single-family home on the property. • Approved a request from St. Jude of the Lake Catholic Church, 700 Mahtomedi Ave., for a gambling per-

mit and a beer and wine permit as part of Turkey Bingo, scheduled for Nov. 3. • Approved a new liquor license for Forster’s Bar, formerly known as the Flame Bar. The name of the establishment will be formally changed on the closing date, scheduled for Oct. 18. • Approved water tower mixers for Tower No. 1 and Tower No. 2, which are expected to prevent water freezing within the towers. The city received a proposal from Badger State Inspection in the amount of $16,500 for each mixer, or a total of $33,000. Funds will come from the city’s water fund. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 5 in the amount of $55,200 to Kuechle Underground Inc. for Phase 3-Historic District improvements and Edgecumbe Drive Storm Drainage Improvements. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 5 in the amount of $12,700 to Douglas-Kerr Underground for Hickory Street Improvements. • Approved the inspection services proposal for Water Tower No. 1, from Dixon Engineering in the amount of $6,500. The coating on that tower is starting to fail prematurely, and an inspection was requested to determine the reason for the failure and corrective actions for repair. • Heard a reminder from Councilman Jeff Ledermann on an opportunity for residents to make voluntary contributions to support downtown street lights as part of a County Road 12 construction matching grant. Washington County will finance half the beautification. The city would like pledges by end of November. This is a “once-in-a-generation” opportunity for citizens to beautify their city, he said. • Gave city staff permission to advertise for a city clerk/administrative position. The position has been left open due to the retirement of City Clerk Mary Solie. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 5, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

A Non-Conforming Pre-Existing Structure use shall not be enlarged, modified, changed, extended (either horizontally or vertically) or structurally altered, unless such changes bring the Non-Conforming PreExisting Structure use into conformity with the Zoning Code. (Exception: A non-conforming use, lawfully located within 60% of all required setbacks, may be structurally altered if the alterations do not change the horizontal or vertical dimensions of the structure and otherwise conform to the Zoning Code.) 2. A non-conforming use shall not be moved to any other part of the parcel of land upon which the same was constructed unless the move would bring the structure and its use into conformity with the Zoning Code. 3. If a non-conforming use is damaged or destroyed to an extent of 50% or more of its replacement cost for any reason (including remodeling or rebuilding), according to the estimate of the building inspector as approved by the City Council, any reconstruction must conform to the provisions of the Zoning Code. If any Non-Conforming Pre-Existing Structure or Use is destroyed by fire or other peril to the extent of greater than 50 percent of its estimated market value, as indicated in the records of the county assessor at the time of damage, and no building permit has been applied for within 180 days of when the property is damaged, any replacement or reconstruction must conform to the provisions of the Zoning Code. (Exception: If the nonconforming use that is to be reconstructed came into being as the result of a previously granted variance, the Council, after review, may continue the variance if the owner demonstrates that the conditions under which that variance was granted continue to exist.) 4. Normal maintenance of a Non-Conforming Pre-Existing Structure that represents a non-conforming use is permitted, including necessary non structural repairs and incidental alterations which do not physically extend or intensify the non-conforming use. 5. Notwithstanding paragraph (1) above, a Non-Conforming PreExisting Structure representing a non-conforming use may be expanded, provided: a. That such expansion does not increase the non-conformity in any dimension (vertical or horizontal), does not create a new nonconforming use, and in itself conforms with the Zoning Code; and b. The sum of the setbacks on either side of the structure is not LESS than 20 feet. 6. When any Non-Conforming Pre-Existing use of land or of a building or structure shall be abandoned or is discontinued for a period in excess of one year, such land, building, or structure shall thereafter be used only as allowed by this Code. 7. No provision of this section shall be interpreted as negating the provisions of 302.015 (Undersized Lots). C. Illegal Structures, Uses, or Lots: Any replacement or reconstruction of any kind of a Non-Conforming Illegal Structure, Use, or Lot must conform to the provisions of the Zoning Code. EFFECTIVE DATE: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and approval and publication as required by law.

Community gym renovations complete BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — A gym built in 1932 has been restored for the future. The gym, located in the Mahtomedi Public Schools district center, is used by the community education program, Community Education Director Cathy Wyland told the school board at a meeting Oct. 11. It used to be Mahtomedi high school and middle school’s gym before the building on Mahtomedi Avenue was converted into a district center in 1992. The gym has been used in recent years for the district’s community education early childhood program and adult community events. The gym received much-needed updates and a new spongy floor complete with a pickleball court and hopscotch built into it. There is also a new playground in the gym. Funding came from the community education and association accounts, Wyland noted, and no district general fund dollars were used. “Kids and adult pickleball players love it,” Wyland said. “What has impressed me is the greater usage of that space now,” noted board member Kevin Donovan. Pickleball players can be seen there almost every day.

Parent airs swim coach incident to school board BY JANICE COLLOVA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A resident of the White Bear Lake School District reported to the school board during its Oct. 8 meeting that he had been falsely accused by the White Bear swim team of abusing his daughter. He had wished to speak with administration privately about the situation, but after what he claimed was a month and a half of unreturned phone inquiries, he inquired to administration in front of the school board why the accusations would have come up. According to the resident, on Aug. 30 he arrived at his daughter’s swim practice at the White Bear YMCA to share

concerns about an unidentified man who was waiting for her outside. Earlier that night the man had been seen peering through the resident’s property, and when confronted by the resident claimed that he and the resident’s daughter needed to be together. The man then left, and the resident followed him to the YMCA. At the YMCA, the resident noticed that the man’s car door was open, and thus was able to overhear the man leave a voicemail for the girl, saying that he was there to pick her up. After this, the resident went into the building and alerted his daughter, who became upset. The resident said that the swim coaches then “swooped in” and took his daughter to a private room, where they asked if her father was abusing her. “My

daughter was coerced,” the resident said, “and then led into a situation that was completely false.” Meanwhile, he was not allowed access to his daughter, as the coaches did not believe he had custody of her. The swim coaches then called the police. According to the resident, police said that the coaches “overstepped, and it was evident.” For legal purposes, the resident’s daughter was then taken to a hospital to be medically examined. Medical teams verified that she was not abused. Since this incident, the resident said that counselors have verified the same. After explaining this story, the resident asked the board why the swim coaches would have accused him of abuse, and why they had been unaware that he had

full custody of his daughter when he was listed as a primary contact in the school system. He also asked why his inquiries for an explanation had yet to be returned. The school board’s public forum concluded. Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak and Board Chair Don Mullin said they would converse with the resident about the situation the following morning. “District administrators discussed the issue with the parent and reached out multiple times before the Oct. 8 School Board meeting,” stated Marisa Vette, director of communications and community relations after the meeting. “Following the board meeting, Superintendent Kazmierczak and multiple other administrators followed up with the parent.”

WHITE BEAR SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The White Bear Lake Area School Board took the following action at its Oct. 8 meeting: • Reviewed the World’s Best Workforce (WBWF) annual report from the 2017-2018 school year. WBWF is an action plan mandated by the Minnesota Department of Education to address teaching and learning gaps. The plan’s five goals are that all children are ready for school by kindergarten age, all third-graders can read at grade level, all achievement gaps between students are closed, all students are ready for a career or post-secondary education, and all students will graduate from high school. According to the annual report data, the following was accomplished in an effort to achieve the WBWF goals: 625 children were screened for kindergarten readiness; 65.1 percent of third-graders could read at grade level compared to 56.2 percent of third-graders statewide; 66 percent of 11th- and 12th-graders participated in college-level courses; 16 percent of high school students participated in Career Pathway programs; and 88.7 percent of the class of 2017 graduated at a four-year rate. • Conducted a second reading of the school board policies, noting any changes made within the poli-

cies. Board member Ellen Fahey asked to clarify if the revised policy for public participation in school board meetings approved participation from residents outside the school district. Kazmierczak clarified that the policy change approved participation from both non-residents and non-citizens. Meanwhile, board member Marge Newmaster asked to clarify whether donors could still give gifts to schools and classrooms (i.e. for class projects) when the policy on gift-giving is quoted that “the school district, however, is to discourage gift-giving to employees, schools/classrooms and school board members.” Board member Kim Chapman suggested that the policy be reviewed with the policy committee once again. • Reviewed a recommendation to insert the word “illustrations” and to consider such as an unacceptable behavior, as detailed in the student discipline policy. Board members Chapman and Jessica Ellison both advocated for this recommendation. Following up on this discussion, Fahey commented on the approach of the overall policy. She said that the next time the policy is reviewed, the policy committee should consider having the policy reflect the district’s shift toward restorative

practices and positive behavior intervention, and away from a more punitive approach. • Passed a resolution to combine district precincts 1, 4 and 6 in Lino Lakes into a single polling place for the 2019 state primary and state general elections. School board members clarified that they needed to pass a resolution for the combination because the polling place would be on district property. The single polling place will be at Living Waters Lutheran Church on Birch Street. • Approved the student transportation services contracts between the district and Rehbein Transit Co. • Approved a quitclaim deed between the Delonais family and White Bear Lake Area Schools (WBLAS). The school board had approved the request for a deed back in 1964 when the Delonais family wished to correct an error in county records that said the district owned both the north and south sides of 12th Street (the family believed that they were deeded the north side after they sold property to WBLAS). However, for unknown reasons the deed was never executed by Ramsey County, so the request for the deed has since been renewed. Janice Collova

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — As promised, the city has hired eight paramedics/ firefighters to cover daytime calls. Three were hired internally and five are new recruits. The new hires started Monday. In other business at its Oct. 23 meeting, council: • Approved request imposing special assessment for 2018 on taxable property within Birch Lake Improvement District. This is the ninth year for the assessment. Half the money goes for lake quality and half for general improvements. The district requested $19,000, meaning property owners will be assessed $306 per parcel. • Accepted bid and awarded contract for HVAC improvements to the Armory. New Century Systems of Corcoran submitted the lowest bid of $48,700. The Historical Society, which headquarters in the city building, has raised $30,000 through grants and fundraising efforts. The remaining funds will come from the 2019 municipal building fund budget. • Accepted an extension to the White Bear Lake Mitsubishi lease of off-site parking at Taymark Inc. through Jan. 31, 2019. • Certified delinquent 2018 private property assessments to the county for recovery of city expenses, payable in 2019. Invoices that remain unpaid are $306 for lawn mowing of property on County Road E owned by Mack Investment Group and $1,050 to board a dangerous animal owned by Scott Marcotte. • Certified delinquent charges related to the municipal utility system. It was not-

ed that the city does not shut off water to people who owe money on utility bills. A final listing shows 516 accounts with balances totaling $308,800. • Heard from City Manager Ellen Hiniker that a Nov. 8 date has been set for a hearing before the administrative law panel regarding the appeal of DNR amendments to the city's water appropriations permit. It is possible a stay will be granted postponing the hearing until after the Court of Appeals decision on the lake level lawsuit, expected sometime in 2019. The following notes are from the Oct. 9 meeting: • Approved an International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) ordinance for commercial and residential properties. The IPMC establishes minimum requirements for the maintenance of existing buildings. A revision from the second reading last month was to change the appeal period. A person to whom a compliance order is directed has 10 days to appeal in writing to the city manager. Fire detection, alarm and extinguishing systems, mechanical smoke exhaust systems and smoke and heat vents are to be maintained in accordance with the Minnesota State Fire Code. In the last 20 years, only two appeals have been submitted by property owners. A staff member noted that the building official "does not intend to use a heavy hand in enforcing this code." A summary of the code will be published in the Press. • Approved the addition of an automatic indoor motorcycle wash at 2180 Sev-

enth St. Hog Wash owner Matthew Park needed an amended conditional use permit for the motorcycle wash. The entrance will be in the left bay of the two-bay car wash. Bikers will be required to turn off their motorcycles if they're waiting, per the request of the Planning Commission. Hours are 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. The city is requiring the applicant to track all vehicles washed per day and submit the data annually to the city beginning in January. Staff will revisit the use in 2020 and compare water billing data to ensure the use is within the anticipated water usage as projected. Mayor Jo Emerson thanked Park for "hanging in there. I know it's been a long arduous task (to get approval)," she said. • Granted a variance request by Michael McHugh for a setback variance at 2262 11th St. A 5-foot variance from the 25foot setback for the side yard will allow McHugh to build a new single-family home that is 30 feet wide at its widest point. • Heard a presentation from the Greater

White Bear Lake Community Foundation. Chair Bill Foussard and Jackie Reis, executive director, talked about the foundation's mission to "keep it local." More than $1 million has been raised in three years, according to Foussard. Foundation grants will total $45,000 this year, Reis said. Requests have exceeded the amount the foundation can give. The money stays in the seven-community area, which now includes Willernie and Grant. Twenty organizations received $32,000 in grants in 2017. The foundation is managing $940,000 invested in three pooled funds. • Heard a proclamation from the mayor proclaiming October as Toastmasters Club Month. • Heard from the city manager that the State Historic Preservation Review Board will consider the nomination of the White Bear Lake Armory Nov. 13 to the National Register of Historic Places. Inclusion in the National Register constitutes official recognition of the historical importance of the premises. Debra Neutkens
