Tinkering with tubes and transistors BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

A visit to the back room of Associated Electronics Service is like a step back in time. Every nook and cranny is crammed with old stereos, unwanted TVs, VCRs and other obsolete electronics gathering dust. There are old posters of Jesse Ventura and Jimi Hendrix. File cabinets along one wall are stuffed with service manuals that date back to the ’50s. "In a way they're worthless and in a way they're priceless," observed owner Dan Jensen, who has been a TV repairman since 1978. He's the only one left in White Bear Lake. "TV and stereo repair is mostly what we did in the old days, but people don't fix their televisions anymore," Jensen said. "I can't even find parts for most of them." It's a different story for the old stuff. Jensen has boxes upon boxes of repair parts for vintage radios and TVs that are valuable, but will probably never be used. Most of the parts were left to him by former owner Harry Osterkamp, who hired Jensen out of votech school. The business was known as Associated TV & Appliance Service then. Vintage equipment like stereo gear and guitar amplifiers is more repairable and there are still people who want to fix that stuff, Jensen said. He has turntables awaiting his attention, a red eight-track player and boom box were dropped off for repair and there are the reel-to-reel and cassette decks sitting on willget-to later shelves. Jensen speculates that nostalgia is the reason he's SEE TV REPAIRMAN, PAGE 9A

Legislator ‘sensitive’ to lake’s plight BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — The state's Senate majority leader is confident the region's ailing lake will get a piece of the $1 billion bonding bill to fund augmentation. But there are ifs: it doesn't cost too much and it appears sustainable. Sen. Tom Bakk, a Democrat from Cook, said the Legislature likes to make decisions that are sustainable. It was a word he used repeatedly during an Oct. 28 meeting at the Fairfield Inn with members of the White Bear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce.

The Mille Lacs Lake walleye problem is a good example. "We did not hold a special session because there is no easy Band-Aid solution there," Bakk said. "We could restock the lake with fish only to find a few years later, we again have a crisis. The Legislature wanted to take a more thoughtful process to figure long-term sustainability of the issue." It's a good parallel to what's going on at White Bear Lake, the senator said. Bakk noted he's familiar with the challenges White Bear Lake faces, adding, he's "very sensitive to that.” "I'm committed to helping you find a solution. I live on a

lake (Vermillion). My dock is only 44 feet long. I've seen some of the docks on White Bear Lake and I can only imagine how painful that is." Not that getting the funding will be a slam dunk. "Things come hard at the Legislature," said Bakk, who has served at the Capitol since 1994. "Our system is designed to be that way. There is a constant process of educating people on issues because of the amount of turnover, which is part of the reason it's so hard to get things done."

White Bear Lake Police Chief Julie Swanson introduced three new officers at a swearing-in ceremony before the City Council last week. Swanson noted that the past two years has been "a whirlwind of promotions and hiring. The three rookie officers replace the three promoted to sergeant earlier this year. We should be at the end of it," she said. The chief provided a quick glimpse of who these officers are: • Bridget Mace was born and raised in White Bear Lake. She is from a law enforcement family; her uncle and

grandfather are retired St. Paul cops and her brother is a K-9 officer with Minnetonka. She served as a reserve officer since September 2011 and a part-time community service officer since early 2014. Mace has a degree in criminal justice from Metropolitan State University. • Patrick Swenson is a Woodbury native. As a reserve officer since 2009, he has the highest number of volunteer hours, more than 3,000. Swenson became a community service officer in 2011 and also has a degree from Metro State.

• Brian Link grew up in Cottage Grove. He is a U.S. Navy veteran who credits his military experience for getting him where he is today. Like the other two, he graduated from Metro State. Link and his wife are expecting their fi rst child this winter. Debra Neutkens

Pause to reﬂect

T WAS JUST a few weeks ago in October when my brother Ray called me after a thorough two days of testing and consultation at Mayo Clinic. The doctors told him, “You don’t have to come back.” Some may consider that good news. In the case of my brother, it was not. They said, “Your heart and kidneys in your 82-year-old body are deteriorating and you have from two weeks to six months to live.” Two days after that call, Kathy and I drove to Fertile, Minn. where Ray and his wife, Nancy, and most of their family live. Ray was adopted when he was five years by the Ed and Marty Christian About the old family. As many of you know, I was adopted by the Dan and Edythe Town Johnson family in White Bear Gene Johnson Lake following the death of our parents, leaving nine children homeless in Olmsted County, Minn. It was a couple days of tears and laughter as we reminisced about the years we have had together since our family was first reunited in 1951. We talked about Ray’s experience in the Marines in Korea. We talked about the various businesses he developed and ran successfully. The bottom line that he shared over and over again was the blessing that his family of spouse, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren has been. Maybe that’s not surprising. The point is it wasn’t material things. God has favored their family and they are thankful for their 59 years of marriage. They believe in God’s promises of eternal life, as I do, and that means we can celebrate life, as short as it really is. I’M NOT SURE how you might be celebrating this Thanksgiving. Is there someone special that has left your life? Whether it is from an illness, separation or whatever, we all need to reflect in positive thoughts on all the ways God has favored us. When we lift up prayers of Thanksgiving, we need to be specific. This will help us understand all the more how favored we have been. Each of us has been favored in some extraordinary ways. Be thankful for our veterans, some who have sacrificed their life for the freedoms in our country and around the world. Many veterans have been returning home after some very long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many have had their bodies impaired from various kinds of explosives and other war hazards. When was the last time you thanked your employer for your job…or the school bus driver or athletic coaches for their involvement in your family’s life…or the grocery manager for keeping a good supply of food available…or the person who prepares your meals…and so on? Maybe you would like to make a list of things you are thankful for and talk about it with your family. Thanksgiving is a good time for that, but really it should be a regular part of your life’s expressions of gratitude. I understand the turkey population is restored after the serious flu epidemics and the shortages will not be as serious as once thought. Happy Thanksgiving. I AM ALWAYS fascinated by statistics and I know they can be manipulated to tell whatever story you want. Here are a few I have spotted. According to Gallup, 75 percent of Americans think our government is corrupt. One percent of American people pay 40 percent of all taxes. Currently there are six million American people in poverty. Under our current president, our national debt has gone from 9 trillion to approximately 20 trillion. In the NFL, Green Bay has the most traveling support for their team among the entire league.

veterans, I would also like to say thank you to the many patriotic groups that offer assistance to our veterans and families. For example: • Beyond the Yellow Ribbon: The Minnesota National Guard has pioneered a program in hopes of changing how soldiers are reintegrated back to their communities. Called “Beyond the Yellow Ribbon,” the program is named as a reminder that the support of soldiers cannot end when they return from deployment and the yellow ribbons are untied. Many of our area communities and businesses now participate in this program. Go to the Minnesota National Guard’s Beyond the Yellow Ribbon website for more information, http://www. minnesotanationalguard.org/ btyr/ • The Minnesota VFW, Minnesota American Legion and their respective auxiliaries encourage everyone to support veterans and the families of the troops. We are thankful for the Family Support centers that have been set up for each Guard and Reserves branch. You can ﬁ nd contact information at this website: http://mn.gov/vfw/ Sen.

John driving, and new drugs emerging Vette in the community – we all could get a refresher on what’s really “going on.”

We often have parents ask us advice on how to deal with social pressures their children face. You now have the opportunity to engage officers face to face, discuss these important topics and ask plenty of questions. On Thursday, Nov. 19, beginning at 6 p.m., the White Bear Lake Police Department in partnership with the White Bear Lake Area School District will be hosting the annual Parent Safety Information Night at South Campus to address these issues. The event is free and a free pizza dinner will be provided beginning at 5:30 p.m. During this event parents will be able to attend two breakout sessions on the following topics: • Internet safety—including new cell phone apps, social media sites, and technology

• Teen driving laws and safety • Youth drug trends and awareness Sorry kids, but this information night is for adults only. Free childcare will be available for those parents in need. Those who attended last year’s event were pleased with the presentations. Please help spread the word to your family, friends and neighbors and especially anyone with children who are teens or pre-teens. Together the White Bear Lake Police Department, the White Bear Lake Area School District, and our community members (you!) can successfully make the safety of our children an ongoing priority. We hope to see you there! For any questions, please contact Sgt. John Vette at 651429-8511.

BUSINESS BRIEFS New leader at Water Gremlin Water Gremlin Company, part of White Bear Township since 1949, has a new president. Kazu Otani has assumed the helm after the departure of Robert Neal. A press release Oct. 30 noted that the company, which was acquired by a Japanese corporation, Okabe Co. Ltd. in 2005, has quietly grown its product lines, physical plant and number of employees. As an important part of Okabe's First Star initiative, significant investments are underway at Water Gremlin, according to the release. "After completing the construction of a state-of-the-art warehousing and R&D facility in 2013, the company embarked on a project to rejuvenate the north campus facility. Concurrent with these very visible changes comes a leadership transition marking a renewed customer focus, employee engagement and a journey to world class performance." According to Otani, "The ongoing north campus renewal and further infrastructure investments in 2016 demonstrate our confidence and commitment to the success and growth of our fl agship location, as well as our relationship with the community." The fi rst phase of changes is nearing completion, while the second phase will commence in the spring of 2016 and fi nish by next fall.

Under construction Three businesses have leased space in a building under construction at White Bear Marketplace (the former K-mart) next to SuperAmerica. Starbucks, Great Clips and Pacific Dental will be opening next spring, according to the developer, Oppidan. The building is fully leased. Tenants join Cub Foods and adjoining liquor store, Northern Tool and Planet Fitness at the new shopping center on White Bear Avenue. Boatworks 60 percent occupied A press release dated Oct. 23 from Oak Grove Capital, a national provider of real estate fi nancial services, reported a refi nance of Boatworks Commons' $14 million construction loan. The lender said it recently originated one of the fi rst Fannie Mae Near Stabilization Loans for the boatworks developer. Under the stabilization program, the sponsor, At Home Apartments, locked rate and fully funded the 10year loan with the property at 60 percent occupancy, rather than the usual 90 percent requirement. The release said

Art and wine event Summit Liquor is holding an art and wine event 4-6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21. The twohour tasting will feature Bartenura wines from Italy and works of local artist Nycole Fry. Summit is located at 2000 County Road E in White Bear Lake. A bio on the artist provided with the announcement describes Fry as a mother of two from White Bear Lake who experiments with a combination of mixed and New Age media. Her inspiration comes from personal experience and she wants individuals to feel the beauty, freedom and power of personal expression in each piece of art.

Main Street thanks city manager DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Main Street Inc. representative Dale Grambush, a downtown business owner, presented City Manager Mark Sather with a white bear statue during the Oct. 27 City Council meeting. “Thank you, Mr. Sather,” Grambush said. “We’re proud of what you’ve done for the shops and businesses in the city. Thank you for watching all that expense and for saving the moo-la.” The token of appreciation followed council approval of a two-year tax levy to beautify and promote the downtown special service district. The Main Street board of directors approved renewal of a $45,000 per year self-imposed tax and the City Council agreed. Funds are collected by the city and forwarded to Main Street Inc. for promotion and marketing of the downtown area. There has been a tax on the downtown special service district since 1992, when completion of a marketing study led to creation of Main Street Inc. Properties in the district are assessed a minimum of $135 and a maximum of $1,600 depending on square footage. The special service district was one of the first established in the state of Minnesota and has been renewed 11 times based on support from property owners. Grambush told City Council the special events funded by the levy include Marketfest, Girls Night Out, Dog Days of Summer, Bouquet Day, Small Business Saturday, holiday open house, and Santa visits. The council also approved the following last week: • A resolution authorizing staff to enter into conversations with the school district and/or other public entities for possible shared use of the Sports Center facility. The council would like to identify a more equitable funding model that would sustain the ongoing operation of the Sports Center. In a letter to the School Board, Mayor Jo Emerson noted concerns regarding funding equity since city residents represent only 23 percent of total users. “There are many funding options we hope to explore that would more equitably distribute costs, including a joint powers funding model that would include all participating jurisdictions,” the mayor said. • Request for proposals for operation and management of the 160-slip Boat Works Marina. A one year extension was given earlier this year to the current operator, Jason Brown with White Bear Boat Works, which expires Nov. 15. Sather said it will be the operator’s responsibility to protect the docks during the winter season. He also wants to offer more incentive for operators to seek full use of the municipal marina. In 2015, only 96 slips were rented the full season for $2,300. Rental rates have not been raised in seven years. The marina has been in operation for 25 years. Sather reminded residents that the launch by the VFW is not public. Boaters need to contract with whoever holds the city contract to put boats in and out. Councilman Dan Jones noted that a request for proposals does not reflect on the job the Browns have done. • A resolution establishing and imposing a special assessment for the year 2015 with no interest on taxable property within the Birch Lake Improvement District. This is the 10th year the district has taxed itself. The amount is $13,000 or $200 per house to keep the lake clean and keep out zebra mussels. • Issuance of a tobacco license to Rajai Wazwaz on behalf of ECig Smokeshop Inc., 4438 Highway 61. The new store is located in the White Bear Shopping Center. • Certification of $264,000 in delinquent utility system charges to the county for placement on 2016 tax rolls.

Holiday open house Refreshments, in-store specials and gift ideas are part of the Holiday Open House in downtown White Bear Lake Thursday, Nov. 12. Sponsored by Main Street Inc., the annual holiday event is 4 to 9 p.m. Store hours may vary. Debra Neutkens DEBRA NEUTKENS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Mighty Mississippi a ‘reliable’ water source BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

ARDEN HILLS — St. Paul Regional Water Services has more water than it can use. A lot more. During the third annual State of the Waters summit in Ramsey County Oct. 21, Jim Bode, division manager for the St. Paul utility, supplied some usage stats from last year. The figures might interest proponents of augmentation for White Bear Lake, since the water would come from the river via the St. Paul system. Permitted to draw 20 billion gallons per year from the Mississippi by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the regional water service pumped slightly more than 8 billion gallons last year, or not even half. “We have quite a bit of excess capacity if we use last year’s numbers,” Bode said. “We have the capacity to augment White Bear Lake, but it would be expensive.” River water from the utility’s Fridley pumping station is channeled through two 60-inch pipes to North Oaks’ chain of lakes. It then flows by gravity to Vadnais Lake and on to the McCarron Water Treatment Plant on Rice Street where it’s disinfected and softened for use by 420,000 people in nine municipalities. Bode offered a little history of the aging system for Ramsey County participants, noting it was built over a century ago. “City planners went to Lake Phalen first in the early 1900s because they didn’t expect the city to grow so rapidly. By the 1920s, the water utility had to expand further to Vadnais Lake and again north to Pleasant Lake,” Bode said. “In the 19-teens, conduit was also laid from Centerville Lake down to the chain of lakes. Those two conduits from Centerville Lake aren’t used anymore. There isn’t as much water in the Rice Creek watershed, the lake is shallow and believe it or not, the water quality is not as good as river water.” The Mississippi River has been cleaned up over the last three decades, he noted, mainly due to the limits put on wastewater and sewage discharge. It continues to improve and “thankfully, is a very reliable source of water.” Water quality is a big deal to Bode, who has been with St. Paul Regional Services for 29 years. Water from the upper Mississippi River basin is tested for 88 chemicals and bacterial contamination 180 times per month per the Department of Health. They are also tasked with finding

The utility samples for cryptosporidium and giardia, but neither have been found in raw water; a testament, he said, to the watershed and care that has gone into protecting surface waters. There are also 10 wells that supplement St. Paul’s water supply; six are fairly new. “After 9-11, the feds came to us and asked how reliable our water supply was,” Bode said. “It was determined we should increase our groundwater capacity for emergency use so wells were developed within the last decade as part of our vulnerability plan.” The wells strung along the surface water conduits can provide 45 million gallons per day to the St. Paul plant. The DNR appropriation permit is 16.8 billion gallons per year for groundwater; St. Paul used 2.3 billion gallons last year mostly for cooling surface water in the summer and warming in the winter. Bode said the utility conducted a test this summer to see how far the aquifer would draw down when all 10 wells were pumping.

This map from St. Paul Regional Water Services shows the route water takes from the Mississippi River to Lake Vadnais and the McCarron’s Water Treatment Plant. The augmentation study approved by the Legislature is studying a connection from the Sucker Lake chain of lakes to White Bear Lake. “The model drawdown was greater than the observed,” Bode said, “which is data that will be fed into a new model for our east metro area. “We are pulling out of the Prairie du Chien and recognize we will have an impact on the aquifer. We’re not out to compete or take that water. It actually costs us a lot more to use well water because we have to remove more mineral, which is expensive. It is there for a backup at least on a temporary basis.” Consumption has declined for water, which poses a challenge to utilities, Bode continued. “It’s a national trend.

Drinking water consumption has declined after peaking in the 1980s. When I started, we were at the mid-50s in million gallons per day. Now we’re down to the low 40s. Last year, we averaged 42 million gallons per day. “Conservation efforts are taking hold,” he said. “Most fixtures are low flow and big industry has changed. This poses a problem to water utilities. Declining usage means less revenue. Most of our costs are fixed, so we have to adjust rates upward to compensate.” A U of M professor on the State of the Waters program described St. Paul’s water as

“awesome.” “The drinking water quality is exceptionally high with respect to microbiological quality,” said Timothy LaPara, a microbiologist with the Department of Civil, Environmental and GeoEngineering. “Minneapolis is not quite as good.” A resident from North St. Paul noted that his city doesn’t use chlorine in its water supply. “Should we be worried?” he asked LaPara. “Yes,” the professor replied. “Expect a mandate that requires all public water supplies be disinfected.”

TV REPAIRMAN: ‘Everything about this place is old-fashioned’ FROM PAGE 1A

fi xing more eight tracks this year. "People still have the tapes," he said, "and they want to play them." People are also going back to vinyl, which requires a turntable, he added. Jensen said single-play direct drives are probably the most desirable. The longtime repairman laments the fact nothing is wired by hand anymore. Jensen was soldering a circuit board on a Fender amplifier that was "unheard of" 50 years ago. He would know, since he's played bass guitar in a band since he was a North St. Paul teenager. He still lives in the neighborhood where he grew up. Faded blue carpet, still original, covers the slanted floor. Jensen explained that the building on Long Avenue was once a dairy, so the floor sloped to a center drain for cleaning

purposes. A cheese store was two doors down where Farmer's Daughter sits. Even before Osterkamp opened in the early ’70s there was a TV store at that location called Orv's. "There's always been a store here since the advent of television, apparently," Jensen said. He's not getting rich fi xing the array of electronics, but he's busy enough. The heyday is probably over, however. "Back in the ’80s, we made money. We were always running service calls," Jensen recalled. "Everyone had big wooden consoles in the living room that they paid a lot of money for. They lasted for years." These days it's hardly worth fi xing a TV, a reality that is evident in his quantity of unwanted sets. People drop off their giant flat screens and conveniently forget to

pick them up. They find out the TV isn't worth fi xing and decide to buy new, sticking Jensen with disposal. "Unfortunately, you lose customers that way," he noted. "They don't want to call me back so I can say 'hey, I still have that TV.' A smart businessman would charge a deposit on everything that comes in the door. I don't because I'm old-fashioned. But everything about this place is old-fashioned." So over the years, how has business changed? "That sounds like a philosophical question," replied the 60-year-old Jensen. "It's transforming more to repairing audio gear and vintage equipment than newer TVs. Will this occupation become extinct? They don't teach this stuff anymore in trade schools. So yes, I'm a dinosaur."

Among the repair parts for vintage radios and televisions are tubes that look vintage, but are still manufactured in Russia.

MAJORITY LEADER: Odds are good for bonding money in 2016 FROM PAGE 1A

Wiger recalled how the majority leader asked him what he could do to help Senate District 43. "I told him, and he was aware, that the No. 1 issue is the shrinkage of White Bear Lake. We've made steps and had a lot of studies, but the bottom line is we need to turn this around," Wiger said. Both the House and Senate bonding committees are traveling the state looking at projects. The House capital investment committee visited Ramsey County beach Sept. 24 and the Senate group will visit in early December. The session starts March 8. "We know we have $3.3 billion in requests that came through the Department of Management and Budget," Bakk noted. "We'll have to whittle that down to $1 billion." The senate leader said onethird of any future surplus will likely go into a budget reserve. "That is really important. Our reserve has been inadequate. We need a bridge for those economic downturns. Otherwise taxes increase, which creates

Docks are getting longer on White Bear Lake, including this one in Commercial Bay in front of the White Bear Shopping Center, to reach deeper water. Proponents of augmentation will be lobbying at the Capitol for bonding money in hopes of raising lake level.

instability in the business community, or we use accounting gimmicks to keep the budget in balance." During a question-and-answer session, Gene Altstatt, who sits on the White Bear Lake Conservation District board, asked the majority leader how important it is to have financial partici-

pation from the community if White Bear Lake is fortunate enough to receive bonding money. "You have an unusual situation," Bakk replied. "I don't think the Legislature will look for a local effort relative to a state lake resource. Generally, we expect local units of govern-

ment to pay half the cost for a local project. In the case of White Bear Lake, I don't think you'll see that. It's a state lake." Township resident Mike Downing asked Bakk the likelihood there will be funds in the 2016 bonding bill for augmentation. "It depends on how far along the planning is. If the report is ready and it looks like a sustainable solution, then the odds are very good," Bakk said. "But the Legislature will want to see the document showing a sustainable plan is being proposed." The senator is referring to a feasibility study funded by a $100,000 allocation from the Legislature. A Vadnais Heights engineering firm was tasked by the DNR with developing cost estimates to augment White Bear Lake with water from the Sucker Lake chain in North Oaks. The report is expected early next year. Cost is also an issue. The Met Council estimates augmentation will cost about $50 million. The Friends of White Bear Lake are countering with a lower number: $12 to $25 million to build the infrastructure. They are proposing to pipe water

from Vadnais Lake 4 miles away directly to White Bear. Again, Bakk said the odds are good, at least in the Senate, if the report looks like a sustainable proposal. "We're assuming it's not a huge number — significantly less than $50 million," he added. Talking worst-case scenario, what if there is no bonding money coming this way? Bakk said there could still be money for emergency-type projects. "The Legislature has bonded an average of $135 million in odd-numbered years over the last 10," he replied. "If the study doesn't provide information they need so they're ready to act, I would consider emergency legislation next year." Lastly, Bakk said community consensus is important. "Communities that are successful at the Capitol come in with a united voice," he advised. “A great deal of outreach has to happen locally. The Legislature doesn't like to be put in the middle of disputes. Don't bring us a problem; bring us a solution that everyone agrees on."

Supreme Court to hear appeal of assessment appeal ruling KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR

ST. PAUL — The state's top judges will hear about a Vadnais Heights road project assessment. The Minnesota Supreme Court recently agreed to hear a case involving whether a Vadnais Heights property owner met or substantially met the legal requirements to file an appeal. In August, the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled the property owner did not give required written notice. The property owner is Jim McCullough and his business, McCullough and Sons. He was assessed $158,000 for the recently constructed City Center Drive and Talmage Lane. He spoke in protest of his assessment during a July 2014 public

hearing. He later filed an assessment appeal in Ramsey County District Court. The city asked the county judge to dismiss the case because McCullough hadn't submitted a written objection to the city. The judge declined to dismiss the appeal. The city appealed to the appeals court, which sided with the city. McCullough then appealed to the Supreme Court, which decided late last month it will consider the appeal. No date has yet been set for oral arguments. Up for debate are two sections of state law. Statute 429.061, governing assessments, requires councils to hold a public hearing and “shall hear and pass upon all objections to the proposed assessment, whether presented orally or in writing.” Statute 429.081, permitting assessment

appeals, requires that a “written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing.” According to court documents, McCullough's attorneys argued that his appeal should be allowed to proceed because state law doesn't explicitly first require a written objection. One law references “orally” presented arguments and the other law's use of the word “presented” implies that the objection can be made orally, they contend. The district court judge ruled that McCullough's oral objection was at least in “substantial compliance” with state law. McCullough's objection was recorded in the city's meeting minutes and McCullough

signed the city's register of speakers, the judge noted. The Court of Appeals however, ruled that substantial compliance isn't good enough. “The procedural requirements of the special-assessment statutes are subject to strict compliance under well-established Minnesota precedent,” the appeals court opinion states. Furthermore, the appeals court judges' interpretations of the laws are contrary to McCullough's attorneys' interpretations. The references to “orally” and “presented” apply only to requirements that councils receive public feedback and don't apply to the legal appeal process, the appeals court panel ruled. The Minnesota Court of Appeals order concluded: “when Minn. Stat. 429.061 is read in conjunction with

Minn. Stat. 429.081, the plain language of these statutes provide that a taxpayer forfeits the right to appeal a special assessment to the district court unless the assessment is objected to in writing and signed by the taxpayer prior to or at the assessment hearing.” The League of Minnesota Cities lobbied the Court of Appeals and wants the Supreme Court to side with the city of Vadnais Heights. In a document filed with the Supreme Court, a league attorney wrote: “All Minnesota cities have a public interest in ensuring that there is strict compliance with the procedural requirements for appealing a special assessment because such compliance provides a degree of finality for the financing of important local improvement projects throughout Minnesota.”

Crystal Luag Ntxhi Vang, a native of Vadnais Heights, is serving with AmeriCorps. She is the coordinator of an after-school program in the Eau Claire (Wisconsin) School District in which UW-Eau Claire students mentor and help elementary students with homework.

Students in Minnehaha Academy’s applied research and engineering class, including Samuel Myers of White Bear Lake, are working on experiments destined for the International Space Station. Myers is a science researcher on the team that is studying the effects of light on the direction of plant growth in a micro-gravity environment. They will test how reactive plants are to a change in direction of their light source in the absence of gravitropism. The other team's experiment will test vibration cancellation in micro-gravity. Their experiments will be launched from the NASA Kennedy Space Center next spring. It will be the fourth time Minnehaha Academy students have launched experiments into space.

Kim Wassenaar of Vadnais Heights was appointed to serve on the Governor’s Council on the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday through March 2016. Over the last five years, Mahtomedi High School seniors Stuart and Gillian Wilkins have made and donated 800 blankets to St. Paul Children’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The blankets are designed to fit the top of the premature infant incubators. Annually they donate a blanket for every incubator, the number of which has grown from 50 in 2010 to 64 this year. It takes the siblings, who are former patients of the NICU, approximately two hours to make each blanket. The seniors made their first blankets to fulfill a community service project requirement in their seventh-grade honors English class. They plan to continue making blankets even after they go off to college next year. “I am so proud of Stuart and Gillian,” said their

‘The face of addiction has changed’ BY KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR

ARDEN HILLS — The statistics and personal stories shared at a forum about youth drug use last week revolved around a central message: every teen is vulnerable. “The face of addiction has changed. It can be any one of us,” said Lori Lewis, whose son died of a heroin overdose last year. The grieving mother and two young people in recovery joined several law enforcement representatives, a county attorney and a leader of a substance abuse treatment provider for a parent program at Mounds View High School on Oct. 29. It was the second forum organized by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office and provided information about youth drug trends as well as advice to parents about how they can make their child less vulnerable. Nearly every presenter spoke of the danger in many parents' own medicine cabinets. Prescription

drugs, especially opioids, opiates and psychostimulants, are the most abused type of drug. They're also the most deadly. Ramsey County Sheriff Matt Bostrom reported that 60 percent of fatal overdoes in the Twin Cities are from a prescription medication. That's more than cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin combined, the sheriff said. Multiple presenters described prescription drugs as “gateway drugs” that lead abusers to try illegal drugs such as heroin and methamphetamine. Parents who discover their child has misused prescription or even overthe-counter medications such as cough syrup should never dismiss it, recommended Adam Pederson, director of strategic relationships for Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge. “It's that addictive behavior that we need to address,” he said. “It's not just 'oh that drug that they're using isn't that bad.' The concern is if they develop a tolerance to something they could move

Adam Pederson shared the following warning signs that a youth might be using drugs or alcohol : • Secretiveness about activities • Not allowing access to their possessions • Asking for more money than usual • A decline in academic achievements • Wearing heavy cologne or perfume • Weight loss • Bloodshot eyes or/and using eye drops • Talking to friends in code • Medication of any type goes missing

to something that is much stronger.” Other prescription drug abusers turn to other drugs after they've stolen what they can find in their relatives' and friends' medicine cabinets, advised Ramsey County Sheriff Commander Ryan O'Neil. The most common narcotic prescription addicts turn to is heroin because it is cheaper and easier to obtain. Three out of four prescription drug abusers move on to heroin, O'Neil said. Heroin now accounts for nearly a quarter of area overdose deaths, Bostrom informed. Lori Lewis' son, Ryan Lewis turned to heroin after trying the leftover pain medication she didn't dispose of after a surgery. “We did not have them locked up,” she said. “Why didn't we? I didn't think about it. I didn't think I had to worry. Not my kid and not my family.” Over two years Ryan went to rehab several times but relapsed. He survived his first overdose but died from a second overdose while staying at a sober house three days after completing a rehab program. “No one chooses to become addicted. A person chooses to use that first time, but then that drug chooses them,” Lori Lewis said. “We as a community need to recognize this, educate ourselves and support people who suffer from substance abuse just like we support someone with ... any other chronic disease.” Marijuana and alcohol

are other common gateway drugs, forum attendees learned. And they learned that their children could be smoking marijuana in their own home. Use of butane hash oil is on the rise, O'Neil reported. The highly potent form of marijuana can be smoked with an e-cigarette and doesn't have an odor. Roseville native Kevin Beck said his road to addiction started with occasional drinking in high school. Then soon after trying marijuana he was using it daily. After dropping out of college he started experimenting with prescription drugs. Then he progressed to heroin. He stole from family members to fund his addiction. “Heroin turned me into a monster,” he said. His realization that he needed to get clean came on the side of the road. He had run out of gas because he had no money to buy gas (or any other essentials) and he had no one he could call for help because he had abused the trust of all his friends and family, he said. Laura Zabinski, a coordinator of the Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge prevention outreach program called Know the Truth, said she used alcohol and marijuana in high school to cope with traumatic experiences, depression and anxiety. She thought those coping mechanisms were relatively “safe,” she said. At high school graduation she realized alcohol and marijuana had had a much greater

As part of their school outreach programs, Know the Truth has surveyed many Ramsey County students about drug and alcohol use. Among high school students, 29 percent of have used illegal drugs and 44 percent have consumed alcohol. Of the 29 percent who said they’ve used an illegal drug, 98 percent smoked marijuana, 18 abused a prescription drug and 14 percent used an hallucinogen. Among Ramsey County middle schoolers, 7 percent had used an illegal drug and 18 percent had drank alcohol. When the surveyed students were asked what was their primary deterrent from using drugs and alcohol, 72 percent said the potential legal consequences, and 9 percent checked “parent disapproval.” influence than she had recognized. She had a DWI on her record and despite being a high-achieving student had no plans to go to college. “I had no game plan,” she said. Zabinski encouraged parents to establish rules for their children and “ask the tough questions.” Beck said he wished his parents had been open about their own mistakes. “I thought my parents never screwed up, so I was afraid to share my mistakes with them,” he said. Beck also suggested co-parents need to “stay on the same page.” “I knew how to play mom against dad and that's why it was so easy for me,” he said. Pederson said parents also need to get to know their children's friends and communicate with the parents of those friends. Parents also should “talk early and talk often” to their children about the dangers of drug and alcohol consumption, he advised. “Use current events to

have this conversation and really create a comfortable environment for your young people to be able to approach you with this issue,” he said. And Pederson reminded parents that it is critical to set clear rules for their children. “They need expectations,” he said. “They don't need another friend; they have hundreds of those on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram. They need a parent. They need someone with a fully developed brain to look at them and say 'This is what you need right now.'” Multiple speakers asked attendees to not leave painkillers or other commonly abused prescription and over-the-counter drugs in their medicine cabinets. The Sheriff's Office accepts medications for disposal at its St. Paul and Arden Hills facilities. Lewis advised parents to trust their instincts. “If you have a suspicion it's probably true,” she said.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Rudenick's case fi les were reviewed while his office was cleaned out. A Ramsey Sheriff investigator discovered that Rudenick had pawned jewelry he had recovered in a 2012 theft case. The Washington County Sheriff's Office was asked to further investigate Rudenick and found that Rudenick had kept and later pawned recovered jewelry from two other cases. An appraiser estimated the value of the jewelry Rudenick had pawned at between $4,600 and nearly $5,200. Rudenick had also pawned a piece of office equipment that belonged to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office and more equipment was found during a June search of Rudenick's home.

Former deputy pleads guilty to theft A former Ramsey County Sheriff investigator pleaded guilty to stealing recovered evidence and office equipment. Thomas Rudenick, 56, of Hugo, pleaded guilty on Oct. 22 to felony theft. A second charge of misconduct of a public officer, which is a gross misdemeanor, will be dismissed. The plea deal proposes a maximum of 30 days in jail and Rudenick will pay restitution. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 18 Rudenick was charged in July, six months after he retired from the Sheriff's Office. According to the criminal complaint, “inconsistencies” were discovered when

No injuries but house destroyed by fire A house on Mann Lake in Grant was destroyed in an early morning fi re Oct. 31. Seven fi re department crews from across the region responded to the fi re at 11330 Irish Ave. N. a little before 2 a.m. The occupants of the house made it outside without injury. They reported that the fi re started with the furnace near the indoor pool, but Mahtomedi Fire Chief Terry Fischer said that has not been confi rmed. Fischer said he arrived on scene 8 minutes after receiving the call and the house was already engulfed in fl ames. Thanks to recent rain, the fi re did not spread to any of the adjacent trees.

Because there were no fi re hydrants near the residence, water tankers were called in from several area fi re departments. Firefi ghters refi lled the tankers at Mahtomedi High School. Firefi ghters were on scene until after 9 a.m. Sunday demolishing what was left of the house. According to county tax records, the property is owned by a Jennifer MacDonald and has a market value of $ 831,000. Kristine Goodrich

Bears mountain bikers end season with solid results Mount Kato in Mankato hosted the fi nal race of the 2015 High School Mountain Bike Series with the most challenging course of the season. Each lap of four miles included 400 vertical feet of climbing, twisting, technical descents and narrow trails cut into the steep hillsides of the ski area. The White Bear Lake Mountain Bike Team came ready to close out the season, raced hard, and overcame crashes and mechanical issues to again post some solid results. Eighth Grade racer Lauren Carlson overcame

two dropped chain incidents, the fi rst which forced her to run her bike up part of the opening climb, to pass a racer and fi nish 16th out of 17 riders. Eighth grader Adam Barth had another solid race to come in 17th out of 61 riders in a large and competitive field. The Bears sophomores rode three laps and posted solid. Matt Weinberger overcame two crashes to fi nish in 9th place out of 41 racers, while Tony Callen continued his march up the standings to again fi nish 10th after working his way through the field from the 6th row starting position.

Cody Harein rode hard to take 22nd place, and Will Hank took a respectable 30th. First year racer Zach Engmann also had to contend with a mechanical incident but rode hard to fi nish his second race of the season. In the overall season standings for five races, White Bear Lake had two riders fi nish in the top 10. Matt Weinberger fi nished 8th, and Tony Callen fi nished in 10th place. Mark Weinberger

Zephyr girls in state semifinals The test for the Mahtomedi girls' soccer team in the quarterfinal round of the state Class A tournament at Farmington Senior High last week turned out to be rather considerable. The third-seeded Zephyrs needed to work overtime to brush away unseeded St. Peter. The teams skirmished through over 96 minutes of scoreless play, before Michelle Austin sent the Mahtomedi (15-4) faithful home with a goal in an exciting 1-0 overtime triumph. Austin beat St. Peter goalkeeper Desi Krueger with 3:11 remaining in overtime to propel the Zephs into the

semifinals against second-seeded Orono (18-2) on Wednesday at Husky Stadium at St. Cloud State University. The other part of the state tournament bracket has top-seeded Benilde-St. Margaret's squaring off against fifth-seeded Princeton. The state championship game is set for Thursday morning at St. Cloud State, with the third-place contest schedule that same day at Mahtomedi. Mark Aguirre
