Boatworks restaurant gets off back burner BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Sushi lovers will be excited about plans for a new Boatworks Commons restaurant. "It appears the timing has lined up to secure a restaurant tenant," said Community Development Director Anne Kane. DC Restaurant Group, doing business as Acqua Restaurant and Bar v3 with the future name to be determined, plans an 86-seat upscale Japanese cocktail and sushi bar for the first floor of the two-story building at 4475 Lake Ave. S. According to Kane, Acqua owner Daron Close learned a few months ago that the vision for the lakefront restaurant had evolved from a two-story, full-service concept to a much broader range of food service categories limited to just the first floor. He and partner JJ Maleitzke met with the developer and the city and hashed out details of a 10-year lease. A yoga studio and offices are planned for the second floor. The restaurant build-out is estimated to cost $600,000, to be shared equally by the landlord and tenant. Close and Maleitzke requested an economic development loan for half their investment, or $150,000, from the city to be repaid over 10 years at 2 percent interest. The City Council considered the request at its Oct. 25 meeting. Kane told members that the city approved a similar loan for Manitou Station. There is a difference with this loan, however.

Lots of little helpers Keira Rodgers and Greta Birkett immerse themselves in their work while raking leaves with volunteers from Lincoln Elementary School Friday, Oct. 28. They were among the youngest members of several Hug-A-Heart community service groups organized by Lincoln Elementary teacher Pamela Johnstone. The groups, comprised of children, faculty and adult volunteers, helped rake leaves for 18 elderly residents who needed assistance with their seasonal yard work.
Students get in touch with brains BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
SARA MARIE MOORE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Fifth-grader Mikey Zewdie examines a pig brain in a jar held by University of Minnesota master’s student Melissa Asher during Brain Awareness Week Oct. 26.
HUGO – “It feels like a mushroom,” said an Oneka Elementary fifth-grader, after touching a human brain through plastic wrap. “It was so weird, it was jello-y,” concurred a classmate. “They actually are a lot like jello,” said Melissa Asher, a University of Minnesota master's student in neuroscience. Asher and Elizabeth Snarer, a child development master's student from the U of M, visited Oneka fifth-graders during Brain Awareness Week Oct. 26. Asher and Snarer came bearing several brains – students had the opportunity to view pig, cat, rabbit, and ferret brains in jars and touch human brains through plastic wrap. “So here we have our brain zoo,” said Snarer, show-
ing off a membrane still intact on a pig brain. “These are human brains – one whole and one cut in half so you can see what it looks like on the inside,” Asher said, before instructing students to line up to take turns looking at and touching the brains up close. Asher and Snarer also taught the students about how the brain works through other interactive activities. Students acted as cells, dendrites and an axon, squeezing each other's hands to send a signal from one student – a brain cell – to another student – a muscle cell. Students also took turns learning about nerves by poking each other gently with pins – they learned they could more easily identify two pins poking their hands than their arms because there are more nerves in hands.

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.
For more information call: 651-232-1828
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!” 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
NOW AVAILABLE IN WHITE BEAR LAKE! Are you a candidate for K-Laser therapy? For a limited time, Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C. is offering a complementary visit valued at $75. “If you suffer from chronic pain, laser therapy may give you your life back. You owe it to yourself to try the advanced treatment options that are now available. I truly believe K-Laser can make a difference. My hope is that everyone who needs it will at least give it a try,” said Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C. To take advantage of this special offer, call 651-762-8040 before November 11th, 2016. Clinic hours are 8:00am and 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. Tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the “K-Laser Evaluation.” Sincerely,
Most patients report a warm, relaxing sensation. They generally experience no side effects or recovery period.
THE GOAL IS HEALING, NOT MERELY SYMPTOM RELIEF 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.
Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C.

Neighborhood irritations come under microscope BY LOUISE ERNEWEIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Some civic meetings tackle large issues that affect all citizens to one degree or another. Others end up focusing more on neighborhood matters that may impact fewer residents — although those people likely feel no less passionate about the topic in question. The Oct. 17 White Bear Township meeting was an example of the latter. Barking and loose dogs, neighbors' home additions, speeding cars and unkempt parks were the top concerns addressed at the meeting. In many ways, it was a living demonstration of democracy at work locally as neighbors rose to voice opposing opinions on issues, accepting they may not be successful in their plea, yet content to have said their piece for the record. First up were the barking dogs, reported at Lynette Thompson's property at 4195 Lakewood Ave. Thompson was applying for a three-dog license. Although only one of the dogs had been hers (one was a recent adoptee from a friend who had moved to an assisted living facility; the other was owned by a person renting space from her), Thompson was instructed she needed the special license after a series of complaints were made about barking from the premises. "I did call in June of ’15 — the dogs were out front and it was a continual barking," said neighbor Paul Smith, conceding: "I think it has gotten better." Another neighbor, Pam Ziemann, who did not attend the meeting but emailed her thoughts on the application, highlighted the barking issue, along with incidents involving the dogs leaving the property when the gate was opened to allow cars to enter or exit. Ziemann added, "I don't want to stop them from having their pets, but they need to be fully responsible to be good neighbors." Thompson pointed out she no longer kept the dogs in the front yard to reduce the barking and said the most recent barking incidents, which resulted in a warning and subsequent citation from the county's animal control officer, were due to a friend's dog that had been
brought to her yard without her knowledge. She pleaded with her neighbors to talk with her if they had concerns regarding her pet. Board supervisor Steve Ruzek said: "That continues to be an issue; neighbors need to talk to neighbors where possible and most people choose not to, but to make general complaints (instead)." One township resident who had been doing plenty of talking with her neighbors — but remained perplexed — was Amada Josephson, who said she had moved into her Forest Court home just over a year ago. She addressed the town supervisors during the open portion of the meeting to request a mirror or similar tool to assist with traffic visibility at the intersection of her street and South Shore Boulevard, and to raise questions about the caretaking of the Summit Lane dock and public beach. "It's not very well taken care of," she said regarding the park area. "It's been kind of confusing to me because it's listed as a public beach that the township would take care of, but it seems like it's my neighborhood that takes care of it. My neighbor locks it and unlocks it each day and night. My other neighbor is the one who weed whacks it ... My neighbors were actually the ones who purchased the dock, which hasn't been out for a while." Town Clerk Bill Short invited Josephson to the town offices to view the Summit Lane beach and dock file to familiarize herself with the background on the piece of land and the history behind the removal of the dock (it was taken out due to the low lake level). He confirmed that one resident of Forest Court acted as key holder for the public beach. Another subject of neighborly discussion centered on a property located just across the street from the site of Josephson's traffic visibility concerns, at 2641 South Shore Blvd., where owner Joy Alsides was requesting a 0.96-foot variance from the required side lot setback to allow the construction of a new 624-squarefoot attached garage and 460-square-foot deck. Westerly neighbors Kenneth and Ann MacDonald attended the meeting and, although stating they were supportive of Alsides' plans, asked that supervisors deny the variance application. "We feel that having a slightly narrower garage or
dock does not constitute a hardship," said Kenneth. "On the west side of our property, the owner has built up to the lot line (and so) we are feeling a little encroached on and squeezed from both sides." Another neighbor, Karen Drews, wrote in support of the variance request: "We enjoy improvements to some of our older, outdated properties that will help add beauty and value to our neighborhood! Joy has wonderful taste." And, ultimately, the homeowner prevailed in her application as board supervisors voted in favor of allowing the variance.

s election day approaches, our family is trying to stay focused on the issues that really matter – such as the Cubs bid for the World Series. In all seriousness, it’s hard to distinguish the national election coverage with a trashy reality TV show. I’ve spoken with people who are disgusted with the state of this election. They say they won’t be able to vote. While the feeling may be understandable, it’s a mistake not to exercise your right to vote. Voting is a mainstay of our democracy. It is one of the most important rights we have, and it is critical that we all participate. It is especially important to be informed about local issues and candidates, which is often overPublisher’s shadowed by the national coverage. How your community is governed View affects you as much as the choice of Carter Johnson president. Your vote for local candidates will make an impact in our communities, our counties and our state now and for years to come. Reality TV aside, how do you get your information? Check out the candidate profiles put together in the Press Publications Voter’s Guide. The guide was published in the last two weeks and can also be found online at presspubs.com. Be informed about what candidates stand for, and vote. Remember, you have no right to complain about the outcome of an election if you don’t participate. Stolen campaign signs A neighbor of our office tells the story of putting a campaign sign in his front yard and finding it had been stolen while he was at work. As an inventor of fishing lures, he put out a new sign but this time he attached an ice fishing line with fish bells. In no time at all the bells rang and he was able to catch the thief in the act. Hundreds of signs have been stolen around the Northeast Metro communities. In Grant, trail cameras have been set up in an effort to catch the person/people stealing signs. What is it with people who think they have a right to steal campaign signs? Let alone the nerve of someone’s walking nearly to the front door of someone’s home to take a yard sign? Taking a campaign sign is no different than stealing Halloween decorations or a Fed Ex package off of someone’s front porch. The election continues to be more polarized than ever, with little time spent on the real issues at hand. People have stopped speaking to friends who don’t agree politically. I would encourage everyone to take a stand in a more appropriate, honest and democratic way – go out and vote! Don’t be haunted Our parents always said to us “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything”. We preach it to our children. Among the many things election 2016 has taught us not to do, one is to refrain from saying anything - verbally or written - that you would be embarrassed for others to know you said. It seems like especially prudent advice if you are running for president, but it’s advice we can all heed. Our two presidential candidates have spent more time defending themselves against secret audio tapes and leaked emails as they have discussing the important issues that face our nation. Perhaps the lesson we can take from this election is to be cautious about the language we use, about talking behind people’s backs and spreading gossip, in our conversations and written communications. We live in a world where nothing is private. Digital communication such as e-mails and Facebook posts are floating somewhere in cyberspace. Teach your kids to be careful about saying or writing anything that could cause embarrassment or harm to themselves or others if it were shared with an unintended audience. You just never know who is listening and watching, and when the information you have shared will come back to haunt you. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

Local food shelf critical for hunger relief
A
recent story on NPR’s All Things Considered reported, “It’s rare to get good news when it comes to hunger. But the government says there was a big drop last year in the number of people in the country struggling to get enough to eat, especially children.” Citing experts from the No Kid Hungry Campaign and Feeding America, the host implies the reduction in hunMovers & ger is due mainly to more children Shakers accessing food at school through Andrea programs such as free and reduced Kish-Bailey lunch and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, aka federal food stamps). While these programs are profoundly successful in fighting hunger, the list seems to overlook one of the major players in hunger relief — the local food shelf. On any given month in 2016, 590 local families received food and support from the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf. During a monthly shopping appointment, neighbors have access to their choice of meat, dairy, fresh and frozen produce

An easy way to use leftover meat
Hash is a dish that can be made in many ways and has multiple origins. My mom made hash with leftover roast beef, which I liked. Many people in the Midwest are familiar with corned beef hash served in restaurants, sometimes as a breakfast side topped with eggs. You can also fi nd it canned at the grocery store. There are many different forms of hash. In England, it’s made with corned beef, but they add chopped gherkin pickles. In Austria, they add spices like thyme and marjoram and top it with an egg and called Gröstl, which means a mix or a mess. In Brazil and other South American countries, they make a similar version and use it as a fi lling for empanadas. The fi rst time hash shows up in cookbooks was in France around 1650. The name in English might be derived from the old French word
hacher, meaning chopped. Because people didn’t have refrigeration they would try to consume any leftover meat the next morning before it would spoil— hence the breakfast connection. Also, when meat was scarce, people would use lots of potatoes or other vegetables to make the dish more fi lling. Hash became very Wild Chow popular in the U.S. after the world wars. Lisa Erickson Meat was scarce and hash was an easy affordable meal for families on rations. In my grandmother’s favorite cookbook from 1933, there are a few recipes for hash. All have the same basic ingredients, potatoes, onions, leftover meat, but preparations differ, such as adding egg yolks to the cooked
hash and baking it for an additional 10 minutes or adding tomato sauce to make a spaghetti hash. Today, I still make hash like my mother did, usually with whatever I have on hand, making dinner preparation easy. However, I have branched out and use different ingredients. My new favorite is with leftover pheasant. Last week, my hash consisted of pheasant, potatoes, carrots, onions, and leftover squash. Remember there are many different ways to make hash. If you don’t have an ingredient, try something new. Hash it up. Pheasant Hash Serves 4 2 cooked pheasant breasts or any other cooked meat, about 2 cups, cut in small cubes 4 medium sized potatoes, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped 1 cup squash or sweet potatoes, chopped 4 T butter 1 tsp. seasoned salt Pepper to taste In a large fry pan, melt butter over medium high heat. Add potatoes, squash, seasoned salt and pepper; fry until some of the potatoes become tender, about 7 minutes. With a spatula, keep turning the mixture over until the potatoes turn golden brown. Add onion, continuing to cook until the potatoes are tender and the onion is transparent and soft. Add the cooked meat and sauté until the meat is hot. Serve immediately.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Incumbents have worked tirelessly I am a strong supporter of the environment and education. Both are very important issues in our society. I believe we need fresh water, clean air and a healthy community to thrive in. Also, I believe that all children need proper access to education to make sure that we are creating the next viable workforce for our future. With all of that said, Rep. Peter Fischer and Sen. Chuck Wiger strongly support both of these areas and I commend them for that. They have both worked tirelessly to make sure that the environment and education are a priority in our state. The past couple of years I have helped campaign for them and I have grown to admire the tenacity and dedication they have in the Legislature. I appreciate how much both of them genuinely care about their constituents by listening and working with them on different issue areas. I greatly support these two steadfast legislators as I hope you will too this election. Elizabeth Kahn Mahtomedi
Supporting Becker-Finn On Nov. 8, we have a chance to vote for the people who will represent our interests and make the rules that we all live by. Given the negativity and fear so rampant this election season, it may be tempting to just tune everything out, but this is a time to tune in. Because voting matters; it's how we make our voices heard. And who we vote for matters; it's how we choose the people who are at the table, making the decisions that affect us all. I'm grateful to have a chance to vote for Jamie Becker-Finn, a mom of two little ones, a lawyer, a neighbor, a wife, and a fierce defender of our environment, our safety, our health and our kids. She has dedicated herself to justice for some of the most vulnerable among us. (She is an Assistant Hennepin County Attorney at the Domestic Abuse Service Center). I feel lucky to have a chance to vote for Jamie to represent me and to represent all of us in District 42B in the Minnesota House of Representatives. As a mom of two young kids myself, struggling to balance my family and my work, I admire and appreciate the choice that Jamie is making to run for office. I think it reveals her strength and her values that she wants to serve and represent us. I encourage you to learn more about Jamie, and I hope you'll consider joining me in voting for Jamie Becker-Finn on Nov. 8. Katy Kozhimannil Vadnais Heights
Adding truth to the Grant election Councilman Huber’s recent letter concerning the Grant city election is fraught with error. Regarding the raucous conduct at City Council meetings, it takes two to tangle. Residents and minority council members have been treated with disrespect by the council majority led by Mr. Huber. Their opportunity to speak has been suppressed. Some have been forcibly removed by deputies at the command of the majority. Who wants to attend such meetings? The litigation costs incurred by Grant in recent years far exceeds the budgeted allocation. The 2017 budget increases the allocation nearly 400 percent. These litigations are against residents. The majority cannot escape responsibility since Minnesota statutes requires a majority vote to initiate litigation. Which residents are next in line to be sued?
The publication cost for the proposed city charter was increased by the existing majority members by over $32,000 by switching the legal newspaper from the White Bear Press to the Pioneer Press. The majority did this at a council meeting without allowing discussion or explanation. Then, after the charter election, where the majority stated that the city charter initiative was too expensive, to cover their tracks they reverted back to the White Bear Press. They continue to promote this façade in campaigning for re-election, knowing that they created most of that charter expense. Character does matter. The majority blames their election opponents for stealing their signs. I believe that blame is theirs. Some signs were removed by MnDOT since they were placed on highway rights of way. Others were placed on county highway rights of way or on private property without permission. Certainly, their past performance is wanting. Raucous meetings, litigations against residents, dangerous and deteriorating roads, and wasted taxpayers revenues. Robert Engelhart Stillwater
Send Sen. Wiger back to the Senate Wiger is extremely hardworking and serves on two important committees to our community and to the state. He is chair of the K-12 Education Budget committee, which makes both policy and funding decisions for our kindergarten through 12th-grade students as well as early education and adult education. Not many legislators pay attention to making sure there are programs available for adults who choose to go back to school to obtain a GED, gain job and language skills, and prep for college. He works with legislators on both sides of the aisle seeking compromise and making sure that a bill actually gets passed! I first met Wiger when my daughter wanted to pay high school hockey. I watched him in action working with families and the district to help create women’s hockey program; with the first team being combined from North St. Paul and Tartan. She was able to continue playing at St. Cloud State. Wiger is also active in transportation issues—and has been instrumental in making sure the east metro is included in bus service as well as road and bridge funding. I am supporting Wiger because he has done much and has so much more to do. He is open minded, experienced and has the judgment to make sound decisions. That doesn’t mean I agree with him 100 percent of the time, but I do respect his thoughtful approach to decisions. Sherry Munyon North St. Paul
Supporting Becker-Finn Jamie Becker-Finn has my enthusiastic support for the open House seat in District 42B. I first met Jamie 11 years ago when I was newly elected to the House and she was working for a fellow legislator. Throughout the time I have known her, she has been committed to public service. Jamie has served with AmeriCorps working with at-risk kids, volunteered as a Roseville Parks Commissioner and chosen to take on the tough task of prosecuting domestic violence cases. Jamie has approached all of these roles with kindness, enthusiasm and a strong work ethic. Jamie has run a positive campaign and spent countless hours speaking directly with voters. Ja-
mie listens when you talk to her, is not afraid to take on the tough issues and has a passion for public service. I am proud to endorse Jamie and I know that she will serve our community well. I hope that you will join me in voting for Jamie Becker-Finn on November 8th! Senator Bev Scalze District 42
Regarding Robert Tufty’s editorial “The Big Deal in Grant” Thank you, Bob, for putting it straight for Grant residents. Living in Grant for 26 years, my husband and I feel very fortunate to reside in a community with a rural landscape filled with natural habitat, and fortunate to have low taxes; we do not want to see that go away. Therefore, to keep the majority vote, we are voting for Tom Carr, Jeff Huber and Denny Kaup, whose votes we can count on to retain Grant’s rural landscape and low taxes. Thank you Tom, Jeff and Denny, for making Grant a place where many people we know wish they could hang their hat. Michelle and Dudley Crow Grant
Campaign news in Grant City council candidates Huber, Carr and Kaup’s campaign literature talks a lot about what the 2015 proposed charter election cost the city of Grant. According to Huber’s literature, it cost $40,000-plus. What you should also know is why? For many years, the White Bear Press has been the legal newspaper for the city. In the January 2015 council meeting, the city clerk placed a recommendation on the consent agenda to switch the legal newspaper to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The city’s Rules of Procedure provides that any one council member may request without reason, motion or vote to have an item moved from the consent agenda to the regular agenda for discussion. During the meeting, Mayor Carr unilaterally instituted a new procedure requiring a motion and vote to move an item. The council majority of Huber, Carr and Lobin then made a motion and voted to accept the consent agenda, preventing a discussion. So what? The cost of publication of the proposed charter was in play! The White Bear Press had offered $7,000 charge to print it (a neighboring paper offer was $2,000) while the Pioneer Press offered a printing charge of $34,000! The charter commission’s liaison to the council made several unsuccessful attempts to persuade the council to reverse its decision. Other commission members were denied permission on multiple occasions to speak to the issue at City Council meetings. Mayor Carr was a member of the charter commission during this time and ruled on their requests to speak. Publication of the proposed charter was placed with the St. Paul Pioneer Press at a political premium of $27,000 to $32,000. After the election, the council reappointed the White Bear Press as its legal newspaper. Now, the candidate’s literature attempts to use the cost disparity as political capital against its opponents. The City Council allocated a minimal $1,500 annual operating budget to the charter commission. The $40,000-plus cost the candidates spin is of their own intentional political doing. Voters beware!

Deputies receive new sex trafficking training BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
SHOREVIEW — The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office undertook new training in October to identify sex trafficking. All deputies and correction officers were required to take the training, which was based off the Ramsey County Attorney's Office Frontline Response training. “It was created to help our deputies and correctional officers recognize any situation or sign that may indicate that an individual is the victim of a sex trafficking operation,” said Sgt. John Eastham. The sheriff's office has had similar training events in the past, but Eastham said he didn't recall one that was “mandatory for everybody.” The training included three major sections, and deputies and correctional officers were tested on it, Eastham said. The training included defining sex trafficking, how to identify victims of sex trafficking operations and how to approach and speak with anyone who is a victim of a sex trafficking operation. “It's just another tool in our toolbox,” Eastham said. “It's just another way we are trying to train our people the best way to effectively communicate with a victim of a sex trafficking operation.” The Ramsey County Attorney's Office has trained more than 1,700 law enforcement officers statewide about sex trafficking since the Minnesota Safe Harbor Law was fully enacted in 2014. The law protects sexually exploited youth under 18 from being charged for being involved in prostitution. Forty percent of people trafficked are youth under 18, said St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell. Homeless youth are particularly at risk for being trafficked. One in three teens on the street is lured into prostitution within 48 hours of leaving home, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. A Nov. 2010 University of Minnesota study concluded that in Minnesota, at least 213 underage girls are prostituted an average of five times per day every month through escort services and the internet, reports Breaking Free, a St. Paul-based sex trafficking victim service organization. The Safe Harbor initiative also involves victim services through the Minnesota Department of Health and partnerships with placement facilities for sexually exploited youth. Statewide, prosecution of sex trafficking has in-

creased within the last five years, according to Brielle Bernady of the Ramsey County Attorney's Office. In 2010, there were 17 charges and 14 convictions in solicitation, inducement and promotion of prostitution — sex trafficking. In 2015, there were 75 charges and 44 convictions. Sex trafficking charges quadrupled and convictions tripled over the last five years. The maximum charge for trafficking youth is 20 years in prison and/or a $50,000 fine and, for trafficking in general, 15 years in prison and/or a $40,000 fine.
partment will run a Backpage.com (report) and grab a local hotel,” Gustafson said, noting there was a sting operation in Shoreview recently. Eastham noted that sex traffickers will often take advantage of nice-looking cities as places to set up operations because residents and employees may just not believe such activity could occur there. “Any time somebody believes criminal activity is not occurring inside their city is an opportunity for criminals,” he said. “It can be overlooked.” People can see something strange, but not report it because they think it “can't be happening here.” The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office encourages citizens to report anything suspicious. “Our citizens are our eyes and ears,” Eastham said. “Don't assume it's not happening.” “It is amazing the number of predators that are just kind of trolling around,” Gustafson said. “It's really bad news.” Some related news: Carl Ferrer, CEO of Backpage. com, and two other site founders were arrested and charged with conspiracy and pimping a minor in October, reported the New York Times. Authorities raided Backpage.com headquarters in Texas with a warrant. The website was founded in 2004. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has reported an 846 percent increase in reports of suspected child sex trafficking over the last five years. For more information, visit breakingfree.net, www. missingkids.com and www.health.state.mn.us/injury/ topic/safeharbor.
Catching the boos in the suburbs Pimps, also known as papis, or boos, are adept at hiding their sex trafficking crimes. “Just like anything else, any other criminal activity, they change up how they do business or where they do business in order to escape the notice of law enforcement,” Eastham said. But the sheriff's office is also adept at tracking them down by changing investigation tactics. “We adjust in order to compensate for any changes the criminals have done,” Eastham said. Law enforcement work especially close with hotel staff, training them on what types of unusual behavior may signify sex trafficking is taking place in or around their hotel, Eastham said. When hotel staff cooperate, law enforcement can proceed with sting operations to arrest sex trafficking suspects. The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office assists local police departments with performing sting operations at hotels by using the same website sex traffickers and clients often use to victimize clients, Backpage.com, reported Randy Gustafson, communications coordinator. “A couple, three times a year a different police de-

BOATWORKS: Sushi in the works FROM PAGE 1A
Team Manitou LLC owned the building that was put up as collateral. Close and Maleitzke will be tenants, not property owners. “They have offered a personal guarantee on the loan,” Kane said. “However, while we have strong confidence in their ability to succeed, there is the potential that the proposed restaurant may not succeed. If it does not, staff is working with Boatworks Commons LLC to seek agreement that the city would be reimbursed a portion of the outstanding investment.” The developer asked that there be confirmation that an alternative use be allowed down the road if the restaurant does not succeed. Close has five restaurants: Acqua in White Bear Lake and Forest Lake; and three Meet Markets in White Bear Lake, Stillwater and Forest Lake. Originally, a full-service restaurant was envisioned that served breakfast, lunch and dinner. But size, layout and location of the space proved challenging, Kane said. The shallow depth of the building doesn’t allow a full kitchen due to challenges with location of a ventilation system. Staff encouraged the developer to explore a variety of concepts. The city placed a high priority on securing a restaurant, Kane said, and made it known the city was committed to offering financial support if necessary to offset build-out costs. “They have indicated it is their goal to be among the top Japanese cuisine establishments in the Twin Cities area and they’re excited to add to the lakeside energy,” Kane said. The men were unable to attend the council meeting, she added. The developer and business operators also asked that sewer (SAC) and water access charges (WAC) be waived. Kane said the value of those charges is $35,000
BRAINS: Control jumping jacks
to $41,000. The city has 14 credits in reserve, worth $3,485 each, that could be offered to the project. Councilman Kevin Edberg said he wasn’t aware the city had credits. Kane told him the Metropolitan Council allowed cities to retain credits as properties are redeveloped and/ or reduce projected sewer and water impacts. SAC and WAC normally goes with the property. Finance Director Don Rambow said the credits are held in the economic development fund as reserves for future use. Mayor Jo Emerson explained that cities raised the issue with the Met Council about three years ago “that SAC and WAC was out of control.” Council members approved the loan in a resolution that states the developer (Boatworks Commons LLC) agrees to reimburse the city for half the outstanding loan if the council approves occupancy for a business other than a restaurant within 90 days of closure. Councilman Bill Walsh liked the flexibility of the option. He did tell staff he felt uncomfortable to “be in this position.” “We are not a bank,” Walsh said. “But I support helping these guys get going.” Councilman Dan Jones said he looks at the loan as more of an investment. He clarified the fact that if the restaurant fails, the council has 90 days to amend the CUP to allow a tenant other than a restaurant. To get the loan payment 100 percent guaranteed, the city would have to allow an alternative (non-restaurant) use on the first floor. City Manager Ellen Richter asked the council: “Do we want to lose control of what happens to the building?” That option was nixed. The arrangement between all parties is contingent on the lease getting signed. Emerson reminded the council after approving the construction loan, “we do not have to amend the CUP.”

Before Asher and Snarer began their presentation, the students knew a lot about brains: “stores memories,” “helps you think,” “controls movement,” students said. After the presentation, they knew even more. Students learned about each side and area of the brain being responsible for different activities. The left side controls the right side, and vice versa. One student asked how jumping jacks work – both sides of your brain work together, Snarer said. Students asked what their brains are doing while they are dreaming. “It is organizing the information you got during the day,” Asher said. Your brain's sensory areas are active, even though your body is in a state of paralysis while you sleep, she said. That is why it actually feeling like you are doing or touching something even if you aren't, she said. Over the last several years, Brain Awareness Week has taught 130,000 students statewide about how the brain works, according to Elaine McCauley, graduate program assistant at the U of M. Human brains used for educational purposes are donated to the U of M anonymously by individuals before their passing. “They can sign up before they die, and say I want to use my brain for teaching,” Asher said. The human brains could not be photographed as the family had not given consent to do so. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.
Orthopedics facility takes remaining spot at sports center BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
VADNAIS HEIGHTS — A remaining empty spot on the Vadnais Heights Sports Complex site has been staked out by Twin Cities Orthopedics. The City Council held a public hearing and approved its site plan. The office building will be two stories and 20,416 square feet. “We are very excited about this project,” said a Twin Cities Orthopedics spokesperson. “It's going to be half physical therapy and about a third clinic space,” he said. Twin Cities Orthopedics has about 40 locations across the Twin Cities, including Shoreview and Maplewood. Twin Cities Orthopedics has a 70-year history among its merged companies, according to its website. It specializes in treating muscle, joint and bone injuries and conditions. “Vadnais is turning into a little bit of a medical specialty community, and thank you for joining our team,” said Mayor Marc Johannsen.

Johannsen noted the clinic, known for treating sports injuries, together with sports-focused Gentry Academy, make a good match next to the sports center. He also acknowledged the bank currently being constructed on the complex. “Banks make all of that run,” he said.
“I think it is a super nice project,” the mayor said. “I think you have designed an attractive building.” Twin Cities Orthopedics plans to break ground in April or May of 2017 and open in 2018. It plans to add 52 parking spots to the
area. Hours are planned to be 8 a.m. to 4 or 5 p.m. weekdays. The address of the office will be 3545 Highway 61. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@ presspubs.com.
Assessment hike proposed for certain type of road project BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The city's assessment policy has remained the same since 2008. That's about to change. As property owners know, the assessment provides a means to levy all or a portion of the cost of certain public improvements to specific benefiting properties. The city uses special assessments to help fund infrastructure improvements such as street reconstruction and mill and overlay projects. In a memo to City Council, Public Works Director Mark Burch said the mill and overlay assessment model is based on an expectation that pavement will last 25 years before it needs to be milled, which involves grinding off the top inch and a half of asphalt, then overlaid with a new layer to create a smooth driving surface. This type of project extends the time required between street reconstruction. "For 30 years, the city has continuously upgraded its streets," Burch wrote. "Since 1990, 75 miles of city-owned streets - about 88 percent - have been reconstructed with
improvements to underground utilities and bituminous pavements with concrete curb and gutter. "These projects have been funded in part by assessing benefiting properties. While there have been a couple of challenges to special assessments levied since 1990, the city has been successful in defending the assessed benefit in all cases." Street reconstruction projects have historically been assessed at about 33 percent of the total project cost, noted Burch. The city pays the remainder. As the city resumes its work toward completion of its street reconstruction program in 2018 while continuing its mill and overlay program, revenue sources will need to be identified due to a significant decline in interest earnings, Burch explained. The city's current mill and overlay assessment rates are $12.62 per assessable foot for residential properties, $16.57 for apartment and townhome properties and $20.11 for commercial properties. These rates, Burch said, are based on assessing 33 percent of the cost to benefiting properties. Staff is recommending an increase from 33 percent to 50 percent.
Street reconstruction will remain at 33 percent since the city has already completed about 90 percent of its streets using the current assessment model and it wouldn't be fair to remaining property owners along future projects. Mill and overlay rates, on the other hand, would jump to $20 per residential assessable foot for 2017 projects; $26 for apartments and townhomes and $32 per assessable foot for commercial. "It's a substantial increase," he said. According to Burch, the higher rates would have generated about $250,000 additional revenue on 2016 projects. The assessment on a typical 80-foot-wide residential lot would jump from $1,009 to $1,600 under the proposed 50 percent model, or $160 per year for 10 years. The proposed rates are still on the low end of comparable cities in the Northeast Metro, but within the range that the city's appraisal consultant believes provides benefit, Burch added. He plans to bring a recommendation back to City Council on the proposed model at the Nov. 9 meeting. The rates would apply to 2017 projects.

Potential evidence found in search for missing woman BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
ST. PAUL – The Minnesota Community Policing Services Foundation and community members searched Irvine Park for missing Vadnais Heights woman Michele Newell Oct. 22 and 29. Newell was last seen and heard from in August. Timothy Barr, of Lakeville, is a suspect in the case. Newell had allegedly been accidentally run over by a car and killed by Barr, and he had apparently dumped her body in a farm building in South Dakota, according to a complaint. The second-degree murder charges were dismissed Oct. 19 due to jurisdictional issues. But Barr is still a suspect and he was reported cleaning out the trunk of his car in St. Paul, according to the complaint. The Minnesota Community Policing Services Foundation initiated a search in the West Seventh Street area, considering Barr may not have been truthful about where he may have left her, said David Singleton, executive chairman. “We were at Irvine Park area and we were there because that was the area that Mr. Barr was
confi rmed to have been cleaning out his car with bleach,” Singleton said. “He may not have given accurate information… so we are confi rming areas we know he has been here in St. Paul – ruling those out.” The foundation reports an anonymous tip and other evidence its investigators are analyzing show the information Barr told police informants may have been incorrect. About 10 people attended the search Oct. 22 and searched bluffs, wooded areas and railroad tracks for evidence. Potential evidence was found. “We did locate some items of interest and we SUBMITTED just documented them Michele Newell by photograph and they have already been forwarded over to the sheriff's department,” Singleton said. The sheriff's office
will analyze the items of interest. Singleton said he could not yet release details about the items because it could compromise the investigation. Minnesota Community Policing Services Foundation was created in 2013 as a nonprofit to assist in public safety. It offers services in consulting, human rights investigations, mediation and arbitration, and missing persons searches. “We have been involved in two high-profi le searches in the last couple of years,” Singleton said. In one case, it was one of the groups that found the body, and it is still working on the other case. Singleton said the foundation is dedicated to fi nding Newell. “It is a high priority for our organization,” he said. “We are going to work it until Michele is located.” The foundation encourages residents in areas of eastern North and South Dakota to continue to look for anything suspicious.
drop of a contract with the city of White Bear Lake for Planning & Zoning and Building Inspection services, with no good backup plan, left these functions in disarray for over a year. Errors and omissions in these areas have affected residents applying for permits and resulted in poor enforcement of land disturbance activity standards. I wish Administrator Anderson well in pursuing his profession. It is too bad that he was not given the proper training, mentoring, and atmosphere for him to grow in the job with Birchwood Village. Fortunately, we have an excellent, well-qualified candidate for mayor, Kathy Blegen-Huntley. If Kathy’s only contribution will be to clear up the problems I have outlined, she well deserves the votes of all Birchwood citizens. Bryan McGinnis Birchwood
area, our senior population is growing hugely. More seniors will be needing public transportation as they limit their driving or stop driving altogether. Our senate candidate Pat Davern has worked in Metro Transit, and he sees the acute need for more transit options and also to fix our very old roads and bridges! I highly recommend Pat Davern for Senate District 38. I also recommend Ami Wazlawik for state representative. As a school employee, she is very passionate about getting more staff for children with disabilities, including autistic kids, a growing population. Please vote for Ami Wazlawik as state representative in District 38. Fran Knothe White Bear Township
Time for a change in Grant
Vote out Grant incumbents
At last week’s League of Minnesota Women’s Voters Forum held at the Mahtomedi City Hall, Grant City Council candidates (mayor) Tom Carr and (councilman) Jeff Huber defended the city’s large number of litigations against residents for alleged violations of escrow payments, city ordinances and conditional use permits. Now, longtime Mayor Carr and Councilman Huber along with planning commission member Denny Kaup face probable cause violations of Fair Campaign Practices by the Minnesota Office of Administrative Hearings. The court found probable cause election law violations in their literature, lawn signs and websites. Their response was that they believed they had complied with the laws. Every candidate is provided with an election packet that thoroughly details the laws. “Feeling compliant” with local laws has not been sufficient justification for residents; now, that same logic is being applied to them. Some residents feel they were blindsided with litigation brought by the city. The court will schedule a hearing to determine the amount of the fines to be levied against the individuals. Time for a change in Grant. Loren Sederstrom Grant
After listening to the Grant candidates at the League of Women Voters forum, it became apparent why our City Council is so dysfunctional. Old, dead issues were brought up by the current council members with condescending remarks made toward the women seeking office. They were chastised for not attending a budget meeting (where public input is not allowed). I am sure all the ladies are capable of reading a spreadsheet to see where the money is spent. So what to do? Simply vote out the incumbents. Vote Shannon Bryant for mayor and Jaime Benner and Sandra Knaeble for council seats. Wally Anderson Grant

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FROM PAGE 5A
Supporting Wiger for Senate As a retired Allina nurse and White Bear Lake resident, I have been thrilled with our state senator, Chuck Wiger, and his leadership on health care issues. Not only is Sen. Wiger a voice of reason during this hectic debate surrounding health insurance, but he is a champion for patients and health care providers in our community. After the terrible attack at St. John’s hospital two years ago, which resulted in severe injuries to four nurses and the death of a patient, Sen. Wiger authored and passed a bill to prevent violence in hospitals before it happens. He listened to me and other nurses, who told him that violence happens all too often in overcrowded emergency rooms and other understaffed hospital units. He listened and he responded. That’s why nurses honored him with our annual Minnesota Public Official Award last year. I am so proud to call Chuck Wiger my senator, and I ask all my neighbors to support Sen. Wiger’s re-election so that he can continue to fight for all of us. Cindy Barnes White Bear Lake
Supporting Birchwood mayoral candidate We are writing in support of Kathy Blegen-Huntley for mayor of Birchwood. Kathy has the experience, the knowledge, and the commitment to lead our city in an efficient and transparent manner. She has conducted many meetings and knows how to encourage input from various interests. She knows how to utilize the abilities of staff and volunteers. Her commitment to community service is evident from her hard work on behalf of various nonprofits, like the White Bear Center for the Arts and Lakeshore Players Theatre. She certainly has had to be cognizant of budget restraints and she knows how to be fiscally responsible. It’s time for a change. Please join us in voting for Kathy Blegen-Huntley for mayor. Alan Mitchell Birchwood Mayor (2011-2012) Birchwood Council (1997-2000 and 2005-2012) Jane Harper Birchwood Council (2001-2006), White Bear Lake Conservation District (2012-2016)
Want new mayor in Birchwood It’s time for a new mayor in Birchwood Village! Our city administrator, Mike Anderson, is resigning after little more than a year on the job. This resignation, I hope, will be the last of many administrator turnovers that Birchwood has suffered. Those interested in seeing one possible frustration for these departed employees could look at cityofbirchwood. com, then go to City Government/ Agenda/ Video/ Birchwood Candidate Forum. The viewer may draw his or her own conclusion at 1 hour 12 minutes into the program. Birchwood voters should watch the whole recording to see the explanation for high turnovers, and the conclusion that our police, the Washington County Sheriff, will be the first enforcer of our land use zoning code; the code itself says that the Building Inspector has the first eyes. And, of course, all candidates’ comments are revealing and useful on all subjects. The excessive changes in city staff and the abrupt
Supporting Craig Johnson for Vadnais council Vadnais Heights is very fortunate to have an abundance of citizens who volunteer and care about the wellbeing of our city. Craig Johnson is no different, over the past four years while working with Craig, I can tell you Craig says what he means and does what he says – no politics. Craig brings 38 years of engineering experience to City Hall and he considers every city expenditure as if it was his own money being spent. I have personally witnessed his effort to control outside government influences upon our city. This has directly contributed to keeping property taxes affordable for everyone. I’m confident voters will support Craig’s re-election so I can work with him for the next four years to cut waste and continue to expand transparency between City Hall and taxpayers. Terry Nyblom Vadnais Heights City Council member
Supporting Ami Wazlawik for House In the east metro, including the White Bear Lake
Birchwood needs leadership Last fall, Birchwood faced a very serious issue. The Department of Corrections announced their intention to approve residency for a Level III Sex Offender next to Bloomquist Park. A significant number of residents recognized the dangers this could pose to our community and a handful of exceptional people began to act. Those individuals corresponded with other Minnesota communities, law enforcement agencies and state officials. They also researched legal precedent to help the Birchwood City Council craft an ordinance that would provide protection to our residents. In spite of community efforts, the ordinance passed by the council last fall did not provide the protection sought by the community. We can do so much better. Fortunately, three of those exceptional community members who stepped up are running for office this election. They have been working for, and engaging with, the community over the last 12 months. That’s true leadership. Birchwood residents’ voices should be heard and leadership should value community engagement. I hope you will join me in voting for Kathy Blegen-Huntley, Megan Malvey and Andrew Jackola. Michael Malvey Birchwood
Don’t be fooled Voters, Do not be fooled by the adolescent Donald Trump and Republicans who nominated him. Horrible decision! Vote Hillary Clinton and the entire Democratic down ballot. It’s time for change and action. Doug Frost White Bear Lake

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s office reported the following incidents:
VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A neighbor complained Oct. 19 about a couple arguing in the 22-year-old woman’s County Road D apartment but the male half was gone when deputies arrived. The 23-year-old man soon returned on a motorcycle but, seeing deputies, abandoned the bike and fled on foot. Deputies, tiring of this activity, released a K9 partner who quickly ended the chase. The man was booked at the Ramsey County

jail for fleeing police. • A sharp-eyed 77-year-old, checking her credit card statement online, saw $470 in purchases she did not make. The senior, who had a couple of suspects in mind, turned over the information Oct. 19 to her bank and the sheriff’s office. • A young opossum that fell into a homeowner’s window well in the 4000 block of Elmwood Street the afternoon of Oct. 24 was on its way home after the homeowner, coached by a county animal control officer, placed tree branches in the window well and watched the opossum climb out. • A pair of power saws, valued at a total of $970, were stolen from an unoccupied home undergoing remodeling in the 3800 block of Edgerton Street. A contractor found the garage door kicked in the afternoon of Oct. 24. A carpet layer found a cell phone in the home that did not belong to any of the remodeling crew and investigators are working on tracking the phone’s owner. • A woman found fraudulent activity by her boyfriend, now her ex-boyfriend, on her checking account on Oct. 25. The 39-year-old reported it and the 32-year-old local man is under investigation. • When a man discovered his credit card had been used at Wal-Mart three times on Oct. 25 to the tune of $479, and not by him, he reported it. The man, who still had the card in his possession, had last used it at a local gas station five days earlier. • A pizza delivery man, arriving back at his car Oct. 25 after dropping a pie at an apartment in the 1100 block of County Road D, saw a man with a thin build and light complexion in dark clothing pointing a black handgun at him. The robber demanded
the 44-year-old’s money before running off. • A well-armed 69-year-old man parked his truck in the 600 block of Willow Grove Lane Oct. 22, returning to the scene three days later. The first thing he noticed was that his loose change, visible earlier in the truck, was gone. Also missing was a cased 22 cal. Ruger rifle and scope and a holstered 22 cal. High-Standard pistol. There was no sign of forced entry.
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • Two pit bulls were spotted running loose the afternoon of Oct. 23 in a yard in the 5300 block of Grand Avenue. The tough-minded 41-year-old female homeowner grabbed both dogs, one with an ID, and contained them until their owner arrived. • An elderly couple, returning home from an afternoon walk to deliver a pot roast to an ailing neighbor found their town home totally ransacked in the 45 minutes the 82-year-old man and 84-year-old woman were gone. Jewelry estimated at $157,000 was taken from a three-foot tall safe in the master bedroom. The victims said they would come up with a list of specific items and their values. • A 2016 cargo van found abandoned Oct. 22 in the 5200 block of Latta Street was traced back to a White Bear Lake dealership after some research by authorities. The van, which had been on street for several days before a homeowner reported it, had different license plates on the front and rear, neither of which matched the vehicle’s ID number. The dealership had not yet done an October inventory so the van had not yet been reported stolen.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Expanded partnership with YMCA The Maplewood City Council voted Oct. 17 to approve an expanded partnership with YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities to take on programming and operations at the Maplewood Community Center, starting Nov. 1. The city of Maplewood and the YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, held discussions regarding the operations of the Maplewood Community Center (MCC) prior to the meeting. This would be an expansion of a partnership begun last year in which the YMCA began managing the MCC’s aquatics operations. Members of the MCC will continue to enjoy the same features and programs, and the YMCA will add more classes and programs in Maplewood over time. Membership dues will not change on Nov. 1.
Think outside meatloaf pan Mahtomedi author Carol Falkowski has just published a new cookbook, "Meatloaf Outside the Pan." "Many people have fond memories of eating meatloaf around the family dinner table," Falkowski said. "Meatloaf is a longstanding and immensely popular comfort food. But even though it tastes amazing, it rarely looks amazing." Until now. “‘Meatloaf Outside the Pan’ can change all that," she said. "The goal of the book is simple: To transform lackluster, brick-shaped meatloaf into a stunning dinner entree that will amaze and astound both family and friends. With ‘Meatloaf Outside the Pan,’ readers will learn countless new and exciting ways to prepare meatloaf, while leaving the loaf pan behind."
When the mother of two grown children isn't busy dreaming up and preparing new meatloaves, Falkowski is a nationally recognized drug abuse and addiction expert who founded Drug Abuse Dialogues in 2012 after 25 years of presenting abuse information to audiences around the world. “Meatloaf Outside the Pan” is available at her website www.outsidethepan.com and through Amazon.
Pizza place considering move Carbone's Pizza is considering a move into the recently vacated Bamboo House restaurant at Birch Lake Square mall, 1350 Highway 96 E. The former Bamboo House contains a bar sufficient to provide full liquor service, so Steven Boleen submitted an application to the White Bear Lake City Council on behalf of Carbone's for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license in anticipation of a possible relocation. The pizza restaurant is located in the same strip mall. The council approved the request at its Oct. 25 meeting.
Kim Puckett partnered with Sorranno in 2001. Punch Neapolitan Pizza is located at the intersection of Highway 96 and Centerville Road.
Wood studio opens in Vadnais Al and Katie Cooley of White Bear Township opened Create Space, a DIY (do-it-yourself) wood sign studio in Vadnais Heights in October. Create Space offers three-hour classes and private parties. Materials and instruction are provided. Attendees assemble a wooden sign and choose their own stain. Attendees choose their own paint design from about 20 Katie has created. “A lot of them are customizable,” she said. Katie said she is the artist and her husband Al is a woodcrafter, and they seamed their two crafts together to start Create Space. An open house will be held 4 to 7 p.m. Nov. 10. Door prizes, food and sample projects will be available. Create Space is located at 1656 County Road E East, Suite 110. For more information, visit yourcreatespace.com or call 651-321-3491.

The Ramsey County Sheriff Patrol Explorer post was the honor guard and Carol Jensen, retired U.S. Army Band, played the trumpet. Perkins is located at 1045 County Road E.
Punch Neapolitan Pizza opening Punch Neapolitan Pizza will open in Vadnais Heights Nov. 14. It is the 11th location of the chain and the fi rst in the northeast metro. The chain was founded in St. Paul 20 years ago by John Sorranno, who grew up in Italy. John and
F & M bank employees in Vadnais Heights volunteered their time assisting the organization “Journey Home” by setting pavers in a community member’s driveway for Minnesota Bankers Community Impact Week this fall. Journey Home Minnesota provides access to single-family homes in safe neighborhoods that offer positive educational opportunities for members of struggling populations. “We are proud to volunteer with Journey Home, which is dedicated to making sure those in need have housing,” stated Tom Colgan, vice president of F&M Bank.

No all-way stop for intersectionat icy hill Maple and Warner traffic study results presented
BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — The results are in: Motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians will have to continue being cautious when entering the intersection at Maple Street and Warner Avenue N. The results of a traffic study for the intersection were presented at the Mahtomedi City Council’s Oct. 18 meeting. Currently, traffic on Warner Avenue N. in both directions must stop. Traffic in either direction on Maple Street is not required to stop. City Engineer Chris LaBounty presented his findings on why that won't change, based on traffic studies conducted at the intersection on June 21 and Sept. 16. After a resident living on the northeast corner of the intersection sent a letter to the city requesting all-way stop signs on each street corner, the city engaged its engineering firm, WSB & Associates, to conduct traffic counts in June and a sight analysis in September. The study concluded that, even though the sight lines at the corners of Maple Street and Warner Avenue N. could use some improvement, the volume of motorized and foot traffic currently passing through the intersection each day was not enough to call for a stop sign at every corner. Neither are traffic volumes expected to increase in the future. Maple Street, a State Aid roadway between TH 244 and Hallam Avenue, carries traffic at a speed limit of
30 mph. The volume study in June revealed that the average daily traffic on Maple Street through Warner Avenue N. is 1,300 vehicles per day. Warner is also a State Aid roadway between Maple and Dahlia Street, and carries average daily traffic of 470 vehicles per day through the intersection with Maple Street, according to the June study. Traffic volume through the intersection was not enough to warrant a four-way stop, the traffic study said. To meet warrants, crash criteria also require five or more collisions in a 12-month period to be susceptible to correction, LaBounty said. However, in the past 10 years, the intersection sustained only one right-angled crash during that period (2013). The third warrant for traffic correction requires a minimum vehicle volume entering an intersection to be at least 300 vehicles during any eight-hour period. During the morning rush hour, 100 vehicles entered the intersection on June 16, 150 vehicles entered the intersection during the evening rush hour, and at no time during the day was this warrant met, LaBounty said. A minimum of 200 vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians per hour must enter the intersection from Warner Avenue at any time of the day to warrant a change in traffic control; but the numbers never met the criteria. Though pedestrian volumes are higher than normal for a residential neighborhood because of the proximity of the District Education Center, located on the corner of Maple Street and Mahtomedi Avenue, the study counted

five pedestrians in the morning and 11 pedestrians in the afternoon. The intersection's best chance to qualify for a traffic control change was the landscaping on the southwest corner of the intersection. Northbound motorists on Warner Avenue need a greater stopping distance to peer around the bushes to see traffic approaching from the west on Maple Street. Nonetheless, sight distance issues can be mitigated with the cooperation of the property owners, combined with the city's authority to remove landscaping in the right of way. The bushes will come out long before additional stop signs are put in, the engineer said. The resident who wrote the original letter asking for the traffic study attended the meeting and asked council to install 4-way stop signs even though criteria for them had not been met. In the winter, motorists take a running start to get up the icy hill, he said. LaBounty noted that a stop sign placed where it is not warranted can actually be unsafe; despite the signage, vehicles tend to roll through an intersection with light vehicle volumes at the same time that pedestrians experience a false sense of security. Since conditions are not anticipated to significantly increase in the future, motorists will for now contend with two stop signs and not four. And they will not be able to count on Maple Street traffic stopping for them as they roll up and down the icy hill of Warner Avenue in the winter.

Zephyrs topple tennis titans, win state crown BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The math was simple, even if the task was anything but. That’s what Emily Cooper figured as the Mahtomedi tennis team entered a state tournament that had been won by Edina for 19 straight years. “From my freshman year, we lost to them 7-0, 6-1, 5-2 and 4-3,” the senior captain said. “So we thought it was our turn to win 4-3.” That’s exactly what happened, as the Zephyrs felled the Hornets in the state semifinals last Wednesday morning at the University of Minnesota, ending by far the longest dynasty in any sport in state history, then completed the job with a 5-2 conquest of Eagan in the Class AA finals in the evening. Any state title is a big deal but this one was colossal, especially for a sport that doesn’t draw huge crowds like football, basketball and hockey. The big metro papers got the result online
immediately. Cooper’s quote was heard on radio the next day as Patrick Reusse rehashed the event on his popular drive-time show. “It honestly feels like a dream,” Cooper gushed. “We have worked so hard this year and we finally beat Edina.” Added junior Maggie Riermann, also in her fourth state tournament: “We knew we could do it, just depending how how we played today. We came in strong … (The Edina mystique) was still there but we let that sink in and forgot about it, and just focused on what we need to do.” The Zephyrs had lost to Edina by just 4-3 in late September without No. 1 player Olivia Paradise, and had beaten Prior Lake (which beat Edina in the regular season) 5-2 in the first round at state, so both teams knew this was possible. As Hornet coach Steve Paulson said, the match “kind of went as we expected. There were a couple of toss-ups that didn’t go our way.”

Edina beat Mahtomedi at the 1-2 singles and 1-doubles but the vaunted depth that carried the Zephyrs all season came through as Maggie Riermann and Anna Stutz won at 3-4 singles, as did Emily Fraser/Lauren Splett and Alexi Harrod/Sarah Hoffman at 2-3 doubles. When Harrod and Hoffman got the last two points, fending off two match points, to win the third set 7-5 and make the team score 4-2, the “Edinasty” was over. For now anyway. “We had to beat the monster,” Zephyr coach Kathy Alex said. “We had to beat Goliath. Then once that was done, it was like ‘Phew,’ now we can move on.” The champions’ state singles lineup had juniors Paradise and Grace Riemann at 1 and 2, senior Maggie Riemann at 3 and junior Stutz at 4. The doubles lineup was seniors Cooper and Erin Hoffman at 1, senior Fraser and 8th-grader Splett at 2, and junior Harrod with freshman Sarah Hoffman at 3. Winning all three matches at state were Harrod/Hoffman and Maggie Riemann at 3-singles. “I am so glad I got to be on this team in eighth grade and in seventh grade, too,” said Splett, who’s got four years left. In the championship match, the suspense ended much earlier as Fraser and Splett wrapped up the fourth point against Eagan 6-0, 6-2 with two other matches still on the court. Teammates were lined up near their court clapping and cheering, and rushed the court for the traditional joyous celebration after 2-dubs wrapped it up. The Zephyrs placed third at state the last two years, each time losing to Edina in the semifinals, and brought back their whole lineup this year except for Alice Kent at 3-doubles, but were ranked No. 5, and seeded fifth at state, due to four losses to higher-ranked teams while missing Paradise and Stutz. They finished 20-4. Paradise, a junior who’s played No. 1 since seventh grade, missed most of the season due to elbow nerve damage before returning late in the season “with no pain for the first time in three
or four months.” She lost in the semifinals and finals, but the impact of her return was huge. Alex said getting back Paradise along with Stutz, who also had an injury, “made all the difference in the world. It made us deeper.” Paradise, who’s headed the lineup of four state tournament teams, said, “‘I’m very proud of the team and how much we have improved since I was in seventh grade. And now we’ve finally beaten Edina and won state. It’s amazing.” Alex, who was a UCLA All-American on a national champion team in the early 1980s, and played on the pro circuit, including the U.S. Open and Wimbledon, took over as coach this year when Justin Siem resigned to change professions. Alex, a teaching pro, and her husband had settled in Minnesota because several of their children were living in the Midwest. Paradise, asked about the coaching change, said, “We had Justin four years and it was really hard without him; he was always so supportive of us and always knew we could do it. But we have Kathy now and she is unbelievable. She works us so hard and got us ready for this.” Cooper added: “I knew it would pay off. With all the sprints that we did, all the on-court conditioning, all the running that we had to do on the track with the football players watching, it definitely paid off.”
Individuals tournament The Riermann sisters had hopes for the doubles championship after placing third last year, and cruised through the first two rounds past Kelsey Dorr/ Reilee Schepper of Princeton 6-1, 6-1 and Jackie Damberg/Katie Schleif of Delano 6-1, 6-0. However, they lost to St. Cloud Tech’s Taylor and Katelyn Tarrolly 6-0, 6-3, and Eastview’s Mackenzie Novak and Karin Young 6-3, 5-7, 6-0 to finish fourth. Hoffman and Cooper in doubles went 1-2 and Fraser in singles went 0-2. Paradise, a section champ the last two years, didn’t enter singles this year.

Bear girls, boys cross country teams both advance to state BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Both White Bear Lake cross country teams will run at state on Saturday after the Bear girls captured the Section 4AA championship and the boys placed second Oct. 26. The Bear girls, who had not won any meets previously, scored 38, well ahead of Roseville Area’s 64 and Stillwater’s 100 for the top three among 16 schools at Les Bolstad Golf Course. The girls’ last state trip was 2013. The Stillwater boys scored 51, the Bears 88 and Woodbury 91. The Bears will make their sixth consecutive state trip and ninth in the last 11 years.

Zephyr Theatre prepares to launch capital campaign BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER
STILLWATER — Stillwater will be one step closer to having its own live theater Nov. 11 when Zephyr Theatre Company kicks off its capital campaign to transform the old Zephyr Depot building into a vibrant performance space. Zephyr Theatre Artistic Director Calyssa Hall said that the purchase of the empty depot and property on Main Street will close on Jan. 4. After a year’s worth of construction and renovation, the theater hopes to open for the 2018 season. The kickoff event will be quite the theatrical endeavor itself, Hall said. “Our hope is that we can tell the story of the Zephyr Theatre,” she said. “We have a number of special guests coming, a famous violinist, a singer, some dancers, and it's really going to be about is that it's an enchanting night of us as the board of trustees about how we came up with idea and what we want to do there.” She said the board will participate as performers in a sort of scripted play demonstrating their brainstorming process. “It's going to be like at a board meeting, but as we go through the board meeting, we'll get to point in story
when we'll say, ‘We should have concerts’ and then the violinist will play as an embodiment of talking about the concerts, and then for the bakery we'll have special desserts,” Hall said. The evening will also include appetizers and local beer and wine. The night's headliner is violinist Peter Sheppard Skaerved, a world-renowned and Grammy-nominated soloist who regularly performs recitals on the historic instruments kept at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. “I think probably the most important thing we want to get across is that even while raising money, we still plan to be doing events and site-specific performances,” Hall said. “We're in the process of partnering with schools to bring programs there. Obviously, our end goal is to have a space for all of this, but in the meantime we want to be active in the community.” The Zephyr Theatre recently began its first series of children's classes in Stillwater during the first week of October. Hall is among the instructors in a variety of classes offered for grades 1-12, which include a production of “Robin Hood,” a musical theater class, choreography, a black-and-white movie class and more. Classes take place at Rebecca's Studio, across the street from Smalley's in the Brick Alley Building in downtown Stillwater.
IF YOU GO: What: Performance by Peter Sheppard Skaerved Where: The Depot, 601 Main St. N., Stillwater When: 7 p.m. Nov. 11 Cost: $25 “We did do a ribbon-cutting; one of the things we talked about was the importance that childhood theater can have on kids,” Hall said. “It brings out the best in them and there's so many studies that have said it gives them better test scores, public skills, empathy and more. We're making a difference through theater with them, so it's very meaningful to them. But we also want to provide a space for other performing arts organizations.” To learn more about the Zephyr Theatre, or buy tickets for the event, visit stillwaterzephyrtheatre.org.

Absentee voting proves popular among locals BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
RAMSEY COUNTY — The response to absentee voting is something the county elections manager never expected. “This is the first presidential election since the enactment of the law that now permits voters to cast their ballot before election day,” said Joe Mansky. “Many, many people are taking advantage of the new law. “The number of ballots submitted so far is 109 percent greater than the same point in time for the previous presidential election four years ago,” Man-
sky added. “At our office, and we have been open since Sept. 23, nearly 5,000 people have already voted in person. We are seeing the same trend at our suburban city locations, as well.” Monday, Oct. 24 was the first day White Bear Lake residents could cast their ballot at City Hall. It was supposed to start Nov. 1. “We had not planned to do on-site voting but the county told us to open a week early,” said City Manager Ellen Richter. As of the close of business Oct. 28, 1,772 absentee ballots have been issued to voters in White Bear Lake, reported Joseph Mansky Ramsey County Elections Office manager. Of that total, 1,350 have been
returned and accepted. As of Tuesday, Nov. 1, the city had ballot machines on site to count absentee votes, saving the laborious and costly hand-counting process. County personnel process about 10 absentee ballots per hour at a cost to the city of $5.25 per vote. If a ballot is mailed to a White Bear Lake voter, the county charges an additional $3.40. “This is what the future will look like,” said Elections Manager Mansky. “As a result, I anticipate an increasingly larger number of people voting before election day and the need to have the city locations open for a longer period of time than has been the case in past years to accommodate these voters.”

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES
WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES
In action Oct. 18, the Mahtomedi City Council: • Approved a request from Jonathan Faraci, on behalf of JEBCO Group Inc., for a minor subdivision to create two lots out of one lot on Lincolntown Avenue, along with variances to create buildable lots that do not meet the required lot area and lot width in the RR-Rural Residential zoning district. • Approved a request from Minnesota Cemeteries Corporation for a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow grading or excavating in excess of 100 cubic yards on the property located at 3400 Century Ave. N. (Lakeview Cemetery) for purposes of correcting unapproved grading and excavating. The plan includes tree removal, tree planting and erosion control on approximately 2 acres. Approval came with the condition that the applicant work with adjacent property owners on their tree planting plan. • Approved a site plan to renovate the Veterans Memorial in Triangle Park. The White Bear Lake Area Rotary, the American Legion and the Wildwood Lions will each contribute $10,000 toward the project, City Administrator Scott Neilson said. Plans include keeping the monument and flagpole in place, installing pavement and trails, and removing landscaping that currently blocks the monument from view. Bidding for the contract is expected at the beginning of the year with work to follow in early spring. Neilson said he hoped the project would be completed by Memorial Day. The Mahtomedi Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval at its Oct. 12 meeting. • Approved a resolution receiving feasibility study recommendations from the consulting engineer, calling for a Dec. 6 public hearing concerning the 2017 Street Improvement Project and authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications. The project includes roadway reconstruction and miscellaneous storm sewer and utility improvements to Hickory Street and Dahlia Street, from Mahtomedi Avenue to Warner Avenue. The estimated cost of the project is $697,000 with funding primary from State Aid funds totaling 373,600. The water utility contribution will be $44,000; storm sewer utility funds will add $102,000, and special assessments will amount to $176,000 based on the city's policy and fee schedule. Bids will be opened in February; following a short construction season during the summer and fall months, an assessment hearing will be held Sept. 17. • Approved the Mahtomedi Fire Department pension increase from $4,900 per year of service to $5,200, effective after Dec. 31. • Joined the statewide volunteer firefighter retirement plan, allowing the Mahtomedi Fire Relief Association to be included in the statewide volunteer firefighter plan. PERA will administer the plan effective Jan. 1, with special fund assets to be transferred to PERA on Dec. 31. • Approved a request from the city of Pine Springs for snowplowing and de-icing during the 2016-17 season on Warner Avenue from O. H. Anderson School south to 62nd Street and 62nd Street east to Hilton Trail. The total cost is expected to be in the $900 to $1,200 range. As part of the longtime arrangement, Pine Springs will provide summer maintenance for the south end of Oakdale Drive On average, 12 to 15 snow events occur in any given year, Public Works Director Bruce Thielen said. • Approved a request from St. Jude of the Lake Church to hold gambling activities and to sell beer and wine at the Nov. 19 Turkey Bingo event. • Approved a construction pay voucher in the amount of $340,917.45 to T. A. Schifsky and Sons Inc. for the Phase 2 Historic Improvement Project. • Approved the third annual contract with Century College to conduct quarterly fire department training sessions at the college. Total cost of the service is $825 quarterly, or $3,300 annually. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.
The City Council conducted the following business at its Oct. 25 meeting: • Approved joint powers agreement for hazardous materials response vehicle. The city will become a member of the North Suburban Hazardous Materials Team which provides for more immediate response in the event of a haz-mat incident. Annual cost to maintain the truck, kept at the New Brighton Fire Station, is $800 to $1,100. • Authorized final payment in amount of $3,700 to Visu-Sewer Inc. for 2016 sanitary sewer main lining program. • Imposed special assessment for 2016 with no interest on taxable property within the Birch Lake Improvement District. The lake's board of directors is asking for $13,000 this year, or $206 per property owner with access to Birch Lake. There are 63. Treasurer Tom Merritt said money goes for water quality monitoring, fish stocking, administration and communications and to run the aerator system to prevent fish kills every winter. They also hired aquatics expert Steve McComas to assess invasive species. Merritt said his report indicates a low probability that Eurasian milfoil or zebra mussels will impact the lake. Emerson thanked the district for "protecting our natural asset." • Certified delinquent charges related to municipal utility system assessment. The city sent notice of potential certification to 2,628 accounts totaling $389,239. Customers made 2,041 accounts current by remitting $115,782 against delinquent notices. The final count totals 587 accounts with balances of $273,457. This is a 2 percent decrease from last year. The city's policy is that water, sewer and refuse service not be discontinued if accounts become delinquent. Rather, they are certified to the county for collection with property taxes. Once the city notified owners the charges would be added to their taxes at 7.5 percent interest, many opted to pay, said Finance Director Don Rambow. • Approved licenses for one massage establishment and two therapists: A.A. Massage, 2033 County Road E, and its employees Congyan Zhang and YuRu Liu. The massage parlor was formerly Crystal Massage owned by Cuixia Dong. • Discussed the Boatworks Commons community room. Community Development Director Anne Kane said the city has done a "slow rollout" of the room's usage in the last year. "The space is wonderful," she added. Kane handles reservations for the room and told council inquiries have come from organizers of high school reunions, even from schools 20 miles away, anniversaries, retirement parties and groom dinners. "It's been a struggle to make sure the space is utilized well," she noted. There is concern that private events at peak times will fill the public parking ramp attached to Boatworks. City Manager Ellen Richter said parking is a concern. "We don't want to add more to that problem, especially in the summer months." Councilman Dan Jones remarked that "Tally's doesn't seem to care about parking" when it holds summer music events. Kane gets at least two calls a month from both residents and nonresidents inquiring about the room. She asked the council for feedback to consider a new usage policy. Jones felt it was time for a "citizen roll-out," but limited to residents only. • Heard from City Manager Richter that Fire Chief Tim Vadnais is retiring end of year. He has served the city's public safety department for 40 years. The council next meets Wednesday, Nov. 9 instead of Nov. 8 due to the general election. Debra Neutkens

Black gold rush on pause, still draws local workers BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
A few weeks before I visited Williston, North Dakota this fall, I was chatting with a clerk at the Willernie Post Office — her son was out working in the Bakken oil fields in western North Dakota. I exchanged stories about my time as a reporter in Williston. After I came back, my coworker said she ran into another local mom whose son works in the Bakken, traveling between White Bear Lake and the oil fields every two weeks. There's still black gold out there. When I was living in Williston, it seemed the whole country was interested in the place — the oil boom and the humanity surrounding it. People were moving there in droves from across the country to look for work. It was the black gold rush. As a reporter in Williston in the height of the boom three years ago, it seemed that the farther away the media outlets came from, the more sensational the news became. So when the oil “bust” was reported earlier this year, I was skeptical — not about the fact that fewer rigs were being drilled, but about how drastically it had changed the town. I went to talk to the longtime residents, the realistic sources, and stop by the local newspaper, the Williston Herald. As I drove into Williston along Highway 2, there were markedly fewer trucks on the roads, even before I reached the new bypass. As I drove into town, I stopped by the Wal-Mart parking lot. The telltale sign of Williston life in the height of the boom was Wal-Mart — always there were cars from many states in the lot, like at a national park. And they were
still there — plates from Tennessee, Montana, Georgia, Texas, Washington, Michigan, North Carolina, Wyoming, Missouri, Florida, Oklahoma, Ontario. And a couple telling North Dakota plates with abbreviations for North Dakota Roughneck and North Dakota Pioneer. “It's the same old Williston,” I told my husband. And then I saw Boomtown Babes Espresso — the pink drive-through coffee box opened in 2013 when I was a reporter. “It’s still a boomtown,” I said. True, the man camps — rows of portable dwellings oil field workers lived in — were closed up. As a friend I visited said, what is missing is “the single guy in the truck.” The downtown coffee shop by the news office was eerily quiet, although it would be considered normal for a weekday anywhere else. Before, the shop had always been packed with men fresh off the train using the internet to try to find their way. When I stopped by, there was just one lone man on a computer at a table. Some entrepreneurs had packed up — small businesses that had started while I was there had disappeared and were replaced with others. Several new big box stores had moved into a development area west of town. “Available land” signs dotted the remaining spots, empty since I had left. What surprised me the most were the changes at the Williston Herald — the press was quiet. What had once filled the building was the cha-clang of the press spewing out daily news. Now it is trucked in from a shared press in Dickinson, 130 miles away. Ads from the big oil companies were down in its

magazine, Talkin’ the Bakken. When I lived in Williston, the Herald had leases on apartments for employees because affordable housing was so hard to find. No more, said a coworker from the time. Now he's found a place for $550, unheard of before. Many new apartment buildings were advertising low rates and empty space. My husband's welding employers reported conflicting outcomes. One, a Williston lifer, said, “It's not a slowdown, it's a rearrangement.” Another said, “It collapsed two years ago.” A local friend reported the strip club girls left town about a year ago after a city ordinance outlawed adult entertainment downtown. The day I left Williston, the headline
in the local paper was on two hotels closing. In the height of the boom, it was hard to find a place to stay. One of the hotels closing, Missouri Flats, is right next to Boomtown Babes Espresso. It was a hotel rumored and confirmed for its prostitution, reported the Herald. I stopped by Boomtown Babes on the way out of town. The espresso cashier was busy helping several lone men in trucks. “We are definitely still steady,” she said. Leaving Williston, paused pump jacks dot the countryside waiting for oil prices to rise. Driving to the edge of the Bakken oil fields, I saw Boomtown Babes Espresso had expanded to Tioga, 50 miles east.

FORT BELVOIR, Virginia — In a ceremony held Oct. 14, Lt. Gen. Paul M. Nakasone assumed leadership of U.S. Army Cyber Command and Second Army. Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Mark Milley spoke at the ceremony and passed the Army Cyber colors from outgoing commander Lt. Gen. Edward Cardon to Nakasone. U.S. Army Cyber Command was first established in 2010. Under former leadership, the command led the establishment of a dedicated cyber branch in the Army, which has 41 active Army teams in the Cyber Mission Force. Nakasone was deputy commanding general for operations before assuming command. A 1982 White Bear Lake High School graduate, Nakasone has served in Army assignments in the United States, the Republic of Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Rush line preferred option avoids crossing Goose Lake BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The Rush Line Policy Advisory Committee approved a preferred option to downtown that avoids crossing over Goose Lake Oct. 20. However, the options that were not chosen are still on the table, consider-
ing the committee has not yet approved the mode of transit – light rail or dedicated rapid transit buses. The preferred route would travel along the Bruce Vento Regional Trail, a former Burlington Northern rail corridor purchased by the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority (RCRRA). If light rail or a dedicated bus lane is put in the corridor, the

trail would either run alongside it or be relocated close by. The preferred route would follow the trail from St. Paul through Maplewood, hop over to the Maplewood Mall along Beam Avenue and head back to the Bruce Vento Regional Trail along County Road D. It would then continue along the trail through Vadnais Heights and use a rail corridor near Highway 61 before joining it at Marina Triangle in White Bear Lake. The option not put forward due to its impact on water resources cut from the Bruce Vento Trail to Highway 61 from Buerkle Road, following Highway 61 all the way from Buerkle Road into downtown White Bear Lake. It would cross Goose Lake just like Highway 61 does. An option running along White Bear Avenue was also not put forward due to impact on water resources on the other side of Goose Lake and other factors. The preferred route may use a mixed traffic option between Marina Triangle and downtown due to the “constrained right of way” in the area, said Nikki Farrington, consultant with Short Elliott Hendrickson (SEH), headquartered in Vadnais Heights. A dedicated bus lane or light rail corridor could impact nearby businesses or homes. “Putting in a fi xed guideway has an extreme impact,” Farrington said. “If you go dedicated, you are taking a lot of property,” said Dan Meyers, also a consultant with SEH. From downtown White Bear Lake to Forest Lake, a feeder bus is proposed, a modified option also approved at the committee meeting Oct. 20. Service would be every 30 minutes in both directions, with stops in downtown Hugo and at the Forest
Lake Transit Center, and circulating downtown Forest Lake. The option was modified from what was originally proposed – a dedicated guideway between St. Paul and Forest Lake with service every 15 minutes. The modified option would use existing lanes. The change will “increase the competitiveness of the project for federal funds,” reads a statement from the committee. The guideway would have cost 70 percent more in construction, Meyers said. The northeast metro is being considered for the new transit as part of the Rush Line Corridor, which stretches 80 miles between St. Paul and Hinckley. The preferred mode of travel between St. Paul and White Bear Lake — light rail or dedicated bus rapid transit — is expected to be approved by the committee in November. Further community engagement will then take place. The locally preferred alternative, including route and mode, is expected to be identified in January or February 2017. Andy Ditzlaff, of the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority, said the locally preferred alternative is not necessarily the final plan. “It is an early indication of what might be a viable option,” he said. Cities and counties involved would need to pass resolutions supporting the alternative in order for it to proceed. A community open house in White Bear Lake on the project will be held 5 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 14 at White Bear Lake Area Schools District Center, 4855 Bloom Ave. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@ presspubs.com.
