At 105, Rose gets her own parade BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER
One of Minnesota’s oldest WWII veterans still plays bridge, still does laundry and still participates in the family book club. She may not entertain like she used to, but Rose Bayuk still enjoys a good party. Unfortunately, a big bash planned for her 105th birthday was cancelled, but Bayuk’s niece organized the next best thing during a pandemic: a surprise car parade. The milestone birthday parade drew a long string of decked-out vehicles down Fourth Street Nov. 1. White Bear Lake PD and Fire lead the entourage past Rose, who was comfortably settled on a heated blanket to watch and wave at family and friends. The Press did a story on the Army veteran when she turned 100 in 2015, (“The fountain of youth must be on 4th Street”). In that earlier piece, Bayuk explained how she’d crossed the Atlantic 26 times as an active duty nurse on the U.S. Army Hospital Ship Thistle. She enlisted in the Army Nurse Corps after Pearl Harbor was attacked and spent most of the next four years on the ship. The unarmed Thistle trav-
Gary Norman’s birthday is on Veteran’s Day. The former U.S. Navy pilot turns 80 on Nov. 11, the date also an annual reminder of his service to country. Ever since he was a kid, Norman wanted to fly. He enlisted in the Navy in 1962 to earn his wings on the government’s dime. He was accepted into flight school and sent to Pensacola, Florida, where he flew a variety of trainers before graduating to multiengine aircraft. It was war time in the mid-to-late ’60s and Norman was sent to Vietnam, where he flew a P3 patrol plane, a four-engine turboprop. His crew of 12 had one main mission: to fi nd enemy submarines. The P3 carried sophisticated electronics to locate lurking subs from 1,000 feet over the water and could stay in the air for 15 hours. “That was about five hours too long,” Norman said. Spotters also looked for Chinese gun boats that carried armaments to the Viet Cong. “We would send destroyers in to blow them out of the water,” Norman recalled. “If you ever wanted to see a Fourth of July, that was it.” The squadron of 12 airplanes suffered casualties during his deployment, something the White Bear Lake vet will never forget. “We lost two crews in Vietnam. One plane was shot down
eled across the ocean every 30 days from its home port of Charleston, South Carolina, to wherever it was needed; picking up patients in places like Gibraltar, Algeria, Italy and southern France. On its last voyage, the ship navigated the Panama Canal, cruising on to Hawaii and The Philippines, eventually returning to Los Angeles. Ocean travel did not bother her, Bayuk said, which was good because seasick nurses were dropped at the closest port and sent home. After the war, Bayuk returned to her hometown of Buhl, Minnesota and worked as a school nurse. She married Ed Bayuk in 1947 and moved to White Bear Lake in 1955 when Ed was hired as city manager. He died in 1999. Bayuk’s memory is still sharp and her health remarkably good. The diminutive centenarian has been spared hip and knee replacements and still climbs several flights of stairs in her home, exercise she considers helpful. She takes no medication except the occasional aspirin and vitamins and she doesn’t fret about COVID-19, noting as a retired nurse, she knows how to sanitize and take precautions. SEE ROSE, PAGE 14

Loon Chronicles V: A hatch to remember
AFTER LOSING THEIR FIRST NEST IN A SPRING STORM, THE LOON PARENTS SUCCESSFULLY RE-NESTED ON ONE OF LEN’S MAN-MADE NESTS. FINALLY! ON JUNE 25 AND 26, TWO SPUNKY LITTLE CHICKS CRACKED THROUGH THEIR OLIVE BROWN EGGS AND WERE OFF TO THE RACES. THEY SHOULD BE HEADING SOUTH VERY SOON.
This was a summer of perseverance, crossed fingers, and really good luck. The Loon parents seemed more determined than ever this year. How could you blame them, after losing their chicks, nests, and eggs to storms and predators during the last three summers? This summer started out with such promise. In May, the Loons built what appeared to be a sound nest in a good location, covered by bulrushes and in a relatively quiet cove, within feet of one of Len’s manmade nests. In fact, when the Loons first arrived in late April, they spent some time scouting that nest, but ended up building their own. After laying two eggs and just getting into the rhythm of shared nesting duties, the Loon parents lost everything, after a huge storm hit and washed out their nest and eggs. After making some adjustments to the manmade nest, Len relaunched it within inches of the original nest and 20 minutes later, the Loon parents started circling the nest. By week’s end, the Loon parents were taking turns on the nest tending to the new eggs, and on June 25 and 26, two spunky little chicks hatched. During the next two months, we watched the Loon parents help their chicks master the skills of swimming, diving, fishing, preening, communicating, flying, and staying alive on a very busy and crowded lake. The parents were attentive, disciplined, and focused and it all paid off, in the end. The chicks have been on their own since early September, beating all the odds. Last week while kayaking with fellow Loon Whisperer Anne Sundal, we spotted both chicks fishing in Ordway Bay. They looked strong and healthy. We have every reason to believe that they are well equipped to make their journey south. We are optimistic about next summer. Now, that the Loon parents are comfortable with the manmade nest, they will most likely use that as their future nesting site. Another Loon Chronicles fan has offered to install a similar model nest near her home, which is in a choice nesting location on White Bear Lake. The support and concern, on and around White Bear Lake, for the Loons has been amazing. Thank you White Bear Press for the privilege of letting us share this much needed good news. Fire up for 2021!

Township not likely to change much in next 20 years BY CYNTHIA SOWDEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
White Bear Township is nearly built out, Planner Tom Reidesel told township board members at their Nov. 2 meeting. He said the township is now considered a suburban community rather than a rural one. Reidesel presented the township’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which the board needed to adopt by Dec. 31. “We’re getting close to being fully developed,” he said. He noted that the township encompasses 7,000 acres, 4,363 of which are water, parks or wetlands. Its population is estimated at 11,200, with 4,450 households in the area. Reidesel said the number of households is expected to top out at 4,650 by 2040.

He said the township has 25 parks and plans to acquire just one more along Centerville Road west of I-35E. Most new development would likely occur in that area, he noted. According to Reidesel, “The boom years were 1978 to 2002, when 100 new homes were built each year. Now, we have 10 new homes a year.” In the next 20 years, land use density will be guided more toward the high end of 10 units per acre. Board member Steve Ruzek, who also serves on the Planning Commission, interjected, “Guidance doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to happen.” Board members unanimously approved the plan, which now goes to the Metropolitan Council.

for COVID-19, but was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Another negative patient was dealing with anemia. We want local patients to take a broader look at their health. Yes, if you have symptoms of COVID-19 get tested. But, if that test is negative, keep investigating the cause of your symptoms. For example, symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath (classic COVID-19 symptoms) are ALSO symptoms of other serious health concerns including: • Bacterial Pneumonia • Abnormal Heart Rhythm • Heart Attack • Anemia • Hypertension • Blood Clots (Pulmonary Embolism) • Diabetes • Depression/Anxiety • COPD • Asthma Additionally, nausea and diarrhea are also symptoms of COVID-19 AND the following health conditions: • Bowel Obstruction • Appendicitis • Pancreatitis • Gastroenteritis • Diverticulitis • Medication Side Effects
• Anaphylaxis Another prominent COVID-19 symptom is the combination of a headache and fever which could also signal the following: • Bacterial infection • Meningitis • Ear Infection • Flu And, don’t forget the kids! Respiratory issues in children can wreak havoc much more quickly than adults, turning into pneumonia and other conditions that require immediate attention. Just because your child tested negative for COVID-19 doesn’t mean you can ignore that cough that won’t go away. Many Minnesotans skipped their annual exam this year and continue to focus on COVID-19 as the only health threat out there. Remember, when it comes to your health, or the health of your family, think big picture. Certainly, if you or a loved one has symptoms of COVID-19, get tested. But, if the result is negative, don’t stop investigating to find out the cause of your illness and make a plan for treatment or at-home care to heal.

y 14-year-old son and I recently traveled to Clearwater, Minnesota to hunt deer on a friend’s farm. Across the upper Midwest, hunting is a rite of passage along with the annual fishing opener. In Wisconsin, employees often request two weeks off at the time of hire. Hunting family traditions run deep - from work weekends at the hunting camp doing chores such as splitting wood that will fit just right in the cast iron stove, to scouting the land for the perfect place to set up the stands. Deer hunting is a time for family and friends to be together in nature, to bond and share stories. This was our second hunt together, as basketball tournaments often pose a conflict. After being spooked opening morning by a monster buck who ran up behind us our first year, time we were overwhelmed Publisher’s this by the number of deer. In a slug zone, we are required to use View slugs that are fired from what is Carter Johnson traditionally called a shotgun, versus a rifle. The slugs come with limitations on the distance one can accurately shoot. The two guns we used are roughly accurate to 70 and 150+ yards. Sighting in a gun and knowing its limitations is crucial when choosing to properly harvest a deer. Without a range finder, thinking of distance in terms of a football field can help. In the zone, we hunted we could take a doe or buck. My guess is it is overpopulated and the DNR is trying to thin it out the herd. We chose our stand after looking at weather conditions and wind direction. We were up at 5:05 a.m. As we walked into the darkness my heart was beating as the sounds in the field and woods came alive. As we settled in, the sunrise turned into “Sweet Tart” red and pink. Every bunch of grass or sticks in the distance looked like a deer silhouette. My heart raced as Kellen and I traded off different sightlines. A few deer appeared in the distance, but they didn’t have antlers. Then a four-point buck showed up trotting along the horizon. As he circled us at more than 250 yards out, he ended up coming in right next to the stand. Kellen took aim at this moving target, clicked off the safety, and the buck stopped for a split second only to jump a pile of sticks and trot off. It takes a split-second reaction. It was awesome to see the buck and to be out hunting with my son and my friend. It doesn’t matter that we didn’t get a deer - it was an experience. In my lifetime, I have good memories of hunting at my grandparents’ home but can’t remember a time when we were hunting in blaze orange shirts. This could have been the warmest deer opener on record. I know we will be thinking this year about how the freezer could have used a few packages of breakfast sausage and sticks. With the two-week season, I wish everyone a memorable and safe hunt. May the safe hunting traditions be passed on for generations. I would love to see hunter safety training back in the classrooms - though I suppose at this point it would just be great to see kids in the classrooms again. Non-hunters out walking in the woods or an area that allows hunting need to be on the lookout this time of year. Always remember to wear at a minimum a blaze orange hat and keep any pets on a leash. It’s wise to have your pet outfitted with a blaze orange collar or vest, too. Did you know that it is illegal for dogs to chase deer? Hunter safety is required for hunters; the non-hunting public also needs to know where the risks are. People often wander into unsafe situations, frustrating a hunter while putting themselves at risk. With sherpa all the fashion rage this season, can you imagine what a person tying their boot or shoe on a trail might be mistaken for? During the hunting season, let’s make hunter safety education a priority.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Council member does not wear a mask In his refusal to wear a mask during the Nov. 4 Vadnais Heights City Council Meeting, Council Member Greg Urban continues to put his own self-interest and political agenda ahead of the health and safety of his fellow council members and the community at large. I fi nd it appalling that a public official so brazenly flaunts his disregard for public safety, his community and his peers by choosing not to wear a mask to prevent the ongoing spread of COVID-19. Though an exception to the statewide mask mandate does exist, giving a person the option to forgo wearing a mask during a legislative meeting, I am disgusted that Urban would choose to exercise such a loophole. Though appalled and disgusted, I am not surprised. Urban was instrumental in pushing through a "Reopen Minnesota" resolution at the May 5 City Council meeting and attended a "Liberate Minnesota" rally outside the governor's mansion. Both acts were in opposition to Gov. Walz's statewide shutdown. It should be noted that one of Urban's key allies in crafting and passing the Vadnais Heights City Council's "Reopen Minnesota" resolution is former Council Member Craig Johnson. It is time for Greg Urban to focus on the health, safety and well-being of Vadnais Heights residents, not his own self-interest and political agen-
da. If Urban is not willing to consider keeping his fellow council members, the mayor, city officials, visitors and others in attendance at a City Council meeting safe by simply wearing a mask, how can we be confident he is looking out for the best interests of Vadnais Heights residents?

Conduct unbecoming
Definition of racist?
I was disappointed to read Council Member Jon Fleck’s letter in the Oct. 7 White Bear Press. His letter begins with his endorsement of three individuals who ran for office in Birchwood. He could have ended his letter gracefully at that point. However, his text and tone degenerate into an angry rant. He attacks two of his constituents with needlessly harsh and insulting words. This is public service gone astray. I agree with Fleck that those who serve on our council should do so in the interest of the public good and be responsive to all residents. We do truly need people of good character as our elected officials. However, his overly long letter does not reflect his own stated values. His words demean and attack two residents who were candidates for Birchwood offices. Public service demands that our elected folks show humility, openness and

Donald E. West Donald E. West, age 72, passed away unexpectedly at the Cleveland Clinic on November 5, 2020. He was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on November 6, 1947 to Claude and Leona (LeVasseur) West. Donald graduated from White Bear Lake High School in 1965 and Mankato State University in 1970. He was the proud owner of West Recreation Inc. located in Maryland. Don was a nature lover and an avid outdoorsman. He was a loyal and devoted husband, a loving father and a faithful servant to our Lord. Don was definitely a “people person”. Those left to cherish his memory are his wife Linda West, whom he married August 23, 1969; his children Brian (Carolynn) West and Yvonne (Robert) Reese; his grandchildren, Ian and Christian West, Nathan and Gregory DeBruyn; and his siblings Jerry (Barbara) West and Sally (Richard) Colemier.

Passed away peacefully on October 28, 2020, at home surrounded by her family after a courageous five-year battle with cancer. She was 70 years young. She lived her life with grace, empathy, kindness, spirituality, courage and strength. Nancy devoted her life to serving and helping others. After graduation from White Bear Lake High School, she attended the University of Minnesota, where she majored in social work and met her future husband, Tom. While raising her four boys, Brendan, Alex, Ryan and Jason, she spent much of her time volunteering in the classroom and on school trips. She taught her boys the value of community service and helping others. She volunteered at many food shelves and community kitchens. She coordinated bread collection and distribution for Loaves and Fishes, and she was a volunteer of the year at Community Emergency Service in Minneapolis. Nancy brought light and sunshine to the lives of everyone she met. She loved gardening. Growing and tending her flowers, herbs, vegetables and raspberries gave her joy, and it made others happy to see them. Her favorites were geraniums, hydrangeas, peonies, sunflowers and generations-old rhubarb. Half of her yard was devoted to beautiful gardens. Nancy also loved to travel. She had a sense of adventure and it took her around the world. She enjoyed seeing new things, meeting people and having new experiences. The day after she and Tom married on October 30, 1971, they drove to Fort Devens, MA and thence traveled to Augsburg, Germany, where they lived for a year and a half. They spent time traveling through Europe, and they returned often over the years. In the last year Nancy and Tom traveled to Alaska, Germany, Mexico and northern Minnesota. Children living far and wide, from California, Minnesota and New York to Germany, also provided good reasons for travel. She loved her boys to the fullest. She was preceded in death by her parents, Donald Bauer and Mary Grace (Dodge) Bauer. She is survived by her husband, Tom; four sons, Brendan (Ann-Carolin), Alexander (Shelly), Ryan and Jason; four grandchildren, Sophia, William, Jocelynn and Tristan; brothers and sisters Gary Bauer (Carolyn), Donna Wipf (Larry), Bonnie Field (Robert) and Douglas Bauer (Cheryl); and numerous aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews. We love you forever – because you showed us how. Memorials and donations can be sent to Community Emergency Service at CESMN.ORG, or by check to Community Emergency Service, 1900 11th Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55404 with “in memory of Nancy Walsh” in the memo line. A memorial service will be held in the summer of 2021. Gearty-Delmore 763-537-4511 www.gearty-delmore.com

Washington Avenue with Greengard’s Bakery at far right, ca. 1940 Greengard’s was an institution along Washington Avenue for many years. The confectionery included a lunch counter and wholesale bakery that provided baked goods for restaurants along the railroad line running north and south from White Bear. Today the brick structure houses the Washington Square Bar and Grill and the upper level which was to be the new home to tailor R. B. Osborne in 1920 is used as apartments.

COVID-19 BRIEF Gov. Walz convenes special session, expands testing
SUBMITTED
WBCA launches community cookbook The White Bear Center for the Arts has published “Arts & Eats” a cookbook filled with recipes from WBCA staff, board, and teaching artists. Copies are available at the Sunday Arts Markets, held from noon to 3 p.m., or it can be purchased online and picked up at the WBCA. The cookbook is $20.
Following a week of record-setting highs in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths, Gov. Walz announced he will convene a special session of the Minnesota Legislature Nov. 12. He intends to extend the COVID-19 peacetime emergency by 30 days to ensure the state can quickly respond to the pandemic. “We’re in the midst of a surge in case positivity and hospitalizations,” said Walz. “Extending the Peacetime Emergency will help ensure we have the tools we need to respond quickly to protect Minnesotans’ health and well-being.” Minnesota’s neighboring states have the highest infection rates in the nation. Minnesota’s case positivity rate is above 10%, twice the level at which COVID-19 spread is considered controllable. Minnesota’s peacetime emergency is consistent with the ongoing national emergency declared by the president and the emergencies in effect in 48 other states, which allow governors and other officials to respond to rapidly evolving threats stemming from COVID-19. On Nov. 9, Walz announced a significant expansion in testing that was made possible by tools the Peacetime Emergency makes available to the governor. More than a dozen new testing locations will open across the state over the next two weeks. All of the new testing sites will continue to offer free, “no barrier” COVID-19 testing. Testing will be free and available to anyone who wants to be tested whether they have symptoms or not, and it will not require insurance. Saliva testing sites that have opened recently include the Roy Wilkins auditorium in St. Paul, the Minneapolis Convention Center, and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The expansion in access to testing also includes the opening of 11 sites on Nov. 16 that will remain open through at least the end of the year. The sites will be operated by the Minnesota National Guard in partnership with local public health staff, and will offer a mix of saliva and nasal PCR tests. Ten of the 11 sites will be located in armories. They will replace the pop-up community testing events that have been underway for several weeks. “Expanding access to COVID-19 testing to all communities across the state is critical to keeping Minnesotans informed and safe,” said Lieutenant Gov. Peggy Flanagan. “These testing opportunities are cost-free, barrier-free, and pain-free. We need all Minnesotans to take this pandemic seriously and get tested.” For more information on how and where to receive a COVID-19 test, visit mn.gov/ covid19.
OBITUARY NOTICES
Donald B. Regan Age 91, of North St. Paul Faithful Catholic, Founding Chairman of Premier Banks, Irish Family Man Passed away peacefully and prayerfully on Friday, October 23, in the presence of his loving family. Preceded in death by his beloved wife of 63 years, Jean, parents Will and Agnes Regan (nee Wilson); Uncle Leo (Mildred) Regan, Aunt Ella Wilson. Sisters Maxine (Melvin) Orke, Lorraine (Bernard) Dougherty, Marie (Laverne) Lewison, Mary (Worth) Stiles. Brother Bob (Mary Lou) Regan, Son in Law Joaquin Espana Aguado. Survived by their seven children, Michael O. (Mary E.), Patrick O. (Mary K.), Kelly Regan, Colleen Regan Espana, Sean O. (Mary D.), Katie (Andrew) Nath and Daniel O. (Korie); 26 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, soon 15. Brother William E. (Sally) Regan; Brother in Law John (Robin) Joyce. Many nieces, nephews and friends. Born July 19, 1929 in Le Roy, Minnesota into what Don called “genteel poverty.” In 1932, his father Will was tragically killed in a hunting accident. Don was three years old. His widowed mother Agnes, a devout Catholic, raised their seven children during the depths of the Great Depression. Don’s Uncle Leo, with his own family, and Agnes’ sister Ella provided much needed support. Don began working at 12, shoveling coal from railroad boxcars. He worked continually till 91, spanning 79 years. He was a proud 1947 graduate of Le Roy Public High School, where he won a Statewide Declamation competition in Original Oratory. Le Roy, population 957, remained his lifelong “center of the universe.” He attended St. Mary’s College at Winona. After three semesters, due to his academic excellence, Christian Bothers at St. Mary’s arranged a transfer to Notre Dame. After one semester at Notre Dame, homesick and financially challenged, he returned to Le Roy and succeeded his Uncle Leo at the helm of Regan Motor Sales, the family Ford dealership. At 21, Don Regan was the nation’s youngest Ford dealer. He worked incessantly to support his mother and family. While on a Sunday morning rural newspaper route, he stopped for Mass in nearby Grand Meadow. In work clothes, he elected to sit in the choir loft, where he was captivated by a stunning teenage soprano. She was Jean Joyce, daughter of farmer Floyd and Marie Joyce.
In 1950, Don enlisted in the National Guard, was called to active duty and completed U.S. Army Rangers Airborne training. He received a hardship discharge and returned home to help support his mother. He pursued the choir girl, who was then enrolled in St. Teresa’s Nursing School. On June 18, 1955 Don and Jean were married at St. Finbarr Catholic Church in Grand Meadow. They built a life and family together with shared Faith, love, and effort. After 63 years and seven children, Jean preceded him in death on June 8, 2018. Don demonstrated his undying devotion to her with daily prayers at her graveside. Regan Motor Sales also operated three school buses in Le Roy. Don appreciated the steady income. In 1959, with two toddlers and another due, he bought 30 school buses with his brother Bob on St. Paul’s East Side, and founded St. Paul and Suburban Bus Co. Don and Jean moved their young family to North St. Paul and lived there in the same home for 61 years. Sister Claire Lynch, O.S.B, founding Principal of Archbishop Murray Memorial High School gave Don his first formal school bus contract. The school merged with Hill H.S. and became Hill Murray. So far, seven children and 15 grandchildren are Hill Murray graduates. Don faithfully and generously spent the rest of his life returning Sister Claire’s favor. Throughout the 1960’s, 70’s and beyond, Don was a community builder and entrepreneur. He spearheaded a local committee to build Polar Arena in North St. Paul, was a founding partner of Indian Hills Golf Club, formed Voyageur Bus Co. in Duluth, Ottertail Coaches in Fergus Falls and Minnesota Coaches, Inc. He served two years as President of the National School Bus Operator’s Assn. Don, Jean and the Regan family made many lifelong friendships and memories along the way. In 1974, he chartered Maplewood State Bank, opening in a double-wide trailer at White Bear and Beam Avenues. It was the smallest bank in Minnesota. In 1986, he sold St. Paul and Suburban Bus Co., having grown to 650 buses, to focus on banking. Maplewood State Bank expanded and became Premier Bank. In 1990, he formed Premier Bank Minnesota and Premier Bank Rochester. Today, they serve and support their local communities from 20 branches. Their combined assets are among the top ten banks in Minnesota. Don’s motto: Who we are. Where we’ve been.
Where we’re destined. We travel together. Don and Jean lived and embraced their Catholic Faith. They cherished Parish life and the school at St. Peter’s in North St. Paul. They admired and befriended Bishops, Priests, Sisters and Brothers. They generously supported them, and many other causes. Don was an avid sports fan, especially of hockey and golf. He played neither with aplomb, but reveled in the competition, friendship and fun. For decades Don and Jean faithfully followed children and grandchildren competing in all sports. Don saw another grandchild score a goal at Aldrich three weeks before he died. He submitted a detailed scouting report. They cheered for HM and family at many State tournaments, winning the H.S. Girl’s Hockey title in 2015. The 2020 Pioneers Boys State Hockey Championship was his fitting, euphoric capstone. Don attracted people with Irish magnetism. Whether big or small, he had a penchant for making each person feel special. With a warm smile, he’d delve into family trees, mutual friends, paths traveled, and paths crossed. He had unfailing faith in people and their potential. He loved to scrutinize and was a master at “picking winners.” Don Regan planted countless mustard seeds. Many were nourished, then flourished under his watch. He was fearless of most things, save for his Almighty Father in Heaven, and his beloved wife on earth. When recently diagnosed with Coronavirus, he steadfastly chose to remain at home. His caregivers were angelic. Special thanks to nurse Janie of Our Lady of Peace Hospice. Family and friends were blessed to visit and pray with him and say goodbye for now. On Friday, October 23, he went Home to his Lord Jesus, Our Lady, and his eternal family. The Regan family extends its deepest gratitude for the kind thoughts and prayers from so many. Due to Coronavirus restrictions, a private family funeral will be held on Sat., Nov. 21 at 11:30 am at Church of St. Peter North St. Paul. The service will be live streamed at www.bradshawfuneral.com. Private burial to follow at St. Mary’s Cemetery. A public celebration is being planned for Summer 2021. Memorials are preferred to St. Peter North St. Paul Church and School Foundation, Hill Murray Foundation, or a Church or non-profit of donor’s choice.

‘Catch the Spirit’ replaces Winterfest this season BY KATIE LEIBEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Yet another victim of COVID-19 is White Bear Lake’s annual Winterfest event. The White Bear Lake Main Street board voted to cancel the event this year because of the pandemic. Instead, the organization plans a different sort of event this year to support local businesses. “Main Street will be hosting a shopping event called ‘Catch the Spirit,’ which will be (held on) the first two Saturdays of the month of December. The shopping event will allow each business to set their own promotions for those who come to town,� said Sandy Matzdorf, president of White Bear Lake Main Street Inc. The shopping event will provide holiday gift-buying opportunities and support small businesses, a goal of Winterfest. A press release from the board stated that the decision to cancel Winterfest was extremely difficult to make. For more than 30 years, the White Bear Lake community has celebrated the onset of winter with horse-drawn trolley rides and free pictures with Santa, which have helped support the White Bear Lake Emergency Food Shelf through voluntary donations. When holiday schedules permit, carolers from the Hanifl Performing

Horse-drawn trolley rides have been a signature Winterfest event and postponed for 2021.
Arts Center bring joy to those who are out shopping or enjoying themselves downtown. Board members said social distancing requirements and other recommended safety precautions were thought to be too difficult to maintain during the event. Their conclusion was that canceling was the socially respon-
sible thing to do to help protect the safety of the community, guests and business owners. “We felt that capacity limitations for both restaurants and retailers would be difficult to manage. However, social distancing proved to be our main stumbling block,� Matzdorf said. Winterfest, a family-friendly event

sponsored by the White Bear Lake Main Street business organization during the first three Saturdays of December, brings people to town and into local businesses. It has become a tradition for many families in White Bear Lake and for families from out of town. A lack of event or promotion of the downtown businesses would be difficult for many of these businesses, as they have already suffered losses this year due to the pandemic. In addition, both Marketfest and Manitou Days were canceled this year, events that also help support downtown businesses. “Most businesses were completely closed from mid-March to June. That is 3 1/2 months’ worth of lost revenue. Then, opening our businesses was very slow, and there still are restrictions today on capacity for both businesses and restaurants,� Matzdorf said. “Winterfest is an event that gives people outside of our area exposure to our great community and our genuine camaraderie for each other,� she noted. “It is a tradition for many families. Canceling Winterfest was difficult and very sad for the Main Street board of directors. “We are hoping that ‘Catch the Spirit’ will help our businesses recover some of what was lost,� Matzdorf said.

The FootLab at Hi Tempo is located at 3959 Hwy 61 N (a block south of county Rd F on Hwy 61) We are a pedorthics center that builds custom molded foot orthotics for athletic shoes, dress shoes, boots, skates and cleats. Staffed by board certified pedorthists that are licensed by the State of Minnesota, the FootLab staff will custom mold, fabricate and evaluate orthotics all within a one-hour appointment; the client will leave the appointment with their new orthotics. And because The FootLab manufactures and fabricates their orthotics on site their prices are almost half that of traditional orthotics. With hundreds of positive reviews and feedback, The FootLab website (www. thefootlab.com) has features and information on the benefits of custom foot orthotics. Appointments can be made online on The FootLab website. Interested individuals can make a free appointment with a certified pedorthist to discuss concerns related to their feet, knees and lower back. When feet hurt it is logical to think that it’s time to get new shoes. In most cases though it’s not the shoes that are bad but the support inside the shoe that’s bad. Everyone benefits from custom orthotics because they disperse pressure evenly throughout the sole of the foot and they align the foot properly which orients the knee and hip in a healthy posture. To make an appointment with a CertiďŹ ed Pedorthist call The FootLab at Hi Tempo (651) 429-3333 or go online at www.thefootlab.com and follow the links to make an appointment.

ROSE: WWII Veteran celebrates 105th birthday FROM PAGE 1
Bayuk’s son Mark, a ‘67 White Bear grad, lives with her, which is a big reason Rose has managed to stay in her house for 65 years. He contends that his mother’s penchant for “forward thinking” has contributed to her longevity. She wastes little energy dwelling on the past, he said. Mark does lament that Rose has discarded most memorabilia from her war years, which he isn’t happy about. His mother poo-poohs the complaint. “If I want to remember something, I go back in my mind,” Rose retorted. The pandemic postponed a special award (ret.) Lt. Bayuk was to receive in New Orleans last June. The National World War II Museum is awarding her a Silver Service Medallion, an honor bestowed on only five or six female veterans, according to Mark. A new date was set for June 2021, which Rose plans to attend. Other 2020 claims to fame for Bayuk: She is included in a book entitled, “A Woman’s War Too,” released in April by the Minnesota Historical Society and she made the Congressional Record after Congressman Pete Stauber of the 8th District, which covers Buhl where Bayuk was born, made a proclamation about Rose Sept. 24 on the House floor. Did she think she’d live this long? “No,” Bayuk replied, adding, “I’m really old.” She credits a gregarious personality, insatiable curiosity and “using your brain” as secrets to a long life, although Bayuk admits, “I don’t know why I’m living so long. Maybe God forgot me.”

An asset to the Community; a Hub where people gather; Listening to the guests; Constant Improvement; Restaurants working in unity. These are some of the values that guide Bill Foussard, owner of Rudy’s within the White Bear Country Inn. You can now add “safety” to that list. Making safety of his staff and guests a top priority, Bill has recently invested heavily in modern, and proven, LED-UV Blue Light technology in both his air and pool filtration systems. “We’re working really hard to keep team members and guests safe”, says Bill. Foussard purchased the Country Inn by Carlson in 2000 and soon after switched affiliation to Best Western. Rudy’s opened in 2003, with those aforementioned values being a top priority for him. The Event Space was overhauled in 2002, making the space much more attractive, functional and welcoming. Early on Bill saw the need for more outdoor dining in the area and Rudy’s rooftop opened in 2010. It has been a popular outdoor gathering spot for Twin Cities’ diners from day one. GM Paula Colucci and Executive Chef/GM Brian Schaeffer are proud of the expansive
menu – on the rooftop as well in the main restaurant. “Our kitchen is 95% scratch food, and we offer decent portions at reasonable prices” says Brian with pride. And of course, what visit is complete without at least one “Rudytini”! Bill lives by his value of “asset to the community” every day of the year. Senior Picnic, Thanksgiving Meals on Wheels, Dinner with Santa for area Seniors are just some of the events Bill and his team generously contribute to throughout the year. “Customers are a Blessing”, says Bill. The restaurant has been seeing an uptick in business lately with the ReGrow WBL Dining efforts. Like many, they are also upgrading their online Take-Out ordering capabilities and hope to have their new platform ready to go this fall.

Elizabeth Lawin immediately fell in love with the 19th century building on Washington Avenue. She loved the look and history of the brick building. She had a vision: she wanted to recreate the original look and old-time White Bear community feel. Her vision for a modern, yet traditional feeling; comfortable, yet beautiful space was a labor of love she feels she has accomplished. “We wanted an atmosphere where guests want to come here on special occasions yet feel casual and comfortable, a place that feels welcoming and special”, says Lawin. Mission accomplished, as many of their patrons frequent the restaurant several times a week and give the food and atmosphere high marks. General manager Dan Brown makes sure all guests feel special. The food and drink menus are created with that feel in mind as well. Elizabeth describes the food as “Midwestern Modern”. Chef Peter Christenson has created Traditional Minnesota style dishes that Midwesterners like, elevated with quality ingredients and unique preparations. The team is proud of their commitment to partnering with local farmers and growers whenever possible. The top seller is Cracker-Crusted Walleye
with Wild Rice and Mushrooms. Another signature dish is Korean Sticky Ribs. Bar Manager Clay LeMere developed a Craft Cocktail and Beer program that focuses heavily on local and regional breweries and suppliers. Cocktails are made from scratch and the menu changes with the seasons. Brickhouse pivoted to Social Media and Online programs early in the COVID crisis and have developed a successful Take Out program via their web site: www. brickhousemn.com. Their daily Social Media specials have been a hit, especially their “Meatless Mondays”! Seeing the enormous appetite for outdoor dining Elizabeth has already started plans to expand their beautiful and homey rooftop deck. The new space will be ready next spring. The restaurant is open seven days a week.

PILOT: From Vietnam to Angel flights FROM PAGE 1
and the other just disappeared. It flew into the water or something. I knew all of them.” He had been a crew member on one of the ill-fated planes before he got his own command. His parents didn’t know he’d moved to a new plane and thought he was dead. Looking back, Norman calls Vietnam “a wasted war. It didn’t prove a darn thing. It was a waste of a lot of good bodies.” His wife, Deanna Norman, told of his emotional visit to Washington, D.C., to see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Gary touched every crew member’s name lost on those planes in 1967. There are 58,125 names on the black granite wall honoring those who died and those unaccounted for during the war. After his service, Norman got a job with 3M flying executives in the corporate Gulfstream. He flew all over the world for the company for 32 years. When he retired, he bought a four-place Piper and flew Angel flights, a service that uses volunteer pilots to fly people in need of medical care to treatment facilities.
“The Angel flights filled in the gap when he retired,” Deanna said. Gary decided to give up flying at 70 and sold the plane. All told, the Navy veteran logged about 25,000 hours during 50 years of flying. That’s also the number of years Norman and Deanna have lived on Birch Lake, where they raised three hockey-playing sons, Jon, Chad and Brett, all White Bear Lake grads. Two of them have pilot licenses. Brett is a corporate pilot for Menards. Norman didn’t experience the poor treatment and protests some military members did when they returned from Vietnam. “Attitudes have changed,” Deanna pointed out. “It’s amazing how they honor veterans now. People are realizing what military members do and they’re getting much more respect. “Gary still wears his hat that says he’s a Vietnam veteran and people still come up and thank him,” she said. Asked how he was celebrating the milestone birthday, Norman said he planned to enjoy a steak dinner at Mancini’s with family. He has an older brother who was also born on Veterans Day. Norman likes to remind him, “I’m the best birthday present you ever got.”

Bears participate in democracy and football on Election Day BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
How rare is it for a football team to take the field on the same day as a presidential election? And for a player to cast his fi rst vote before or after playing a football all game? Most likely, White Bear Lake’s duel with Roseville on Tuesday, Nov. 3 — the Raiders beat the host Bears 20-14 — is the only time it’s ever happened in Minnesota. Normally the only Tuesday games in Minnesota are the fi rst round of playoffs in the last week of October. And at least half the teams are normally done by the fi rst week in November. But in the year of the pandemic, the season was delayed six weeks, and the Bears-Raiders game, moved from Friday to Tuesday due to a player testing positive, was the only one played that day in the state. Kickoff was at 4 p.m. So, on a week where the Bears lost two games in five days, also falling to Lakeville South 49-14 on Saturday, that was a memorable occasion for the 18-year-olds on the team— casting presidential votes before or after playing a football game. “As far as I know, most of the 18-year-olds voted,” said tight end John McBride. “I myself voted before the game, and my friends voted both before and after the game. “It was an exciting day — unusual to say the least. Playing on a Tuesday instead of a Friday, and on Election Day, was pretty strange.” Spencer Oxton, an offensive and defensive back, knew of at least two Bears who went to the polls. “I voted after the game,” he said, “and my buddy Kaleb Kirschling went and voted early that morning.” Key play in the Bears’ loss was giving up a kick return touchdown as time ran out in the fi rst half. The Bears pulled within 14-8 with nine seconds left when Oxton caught a screen pass from Branden Berwald and cut for a nine-yard touchdown, then ran for the two-point conversion. However, Roseville’s Graham Gerlach took the subsequent kickoff 90 yards, dodging tacklers who had a shot at him all the way to the fi nal 10 yards, making the score 20-8.

Roseville (1-3) scored all 20 points in the second period without a whole lot of yards, driving 48 yards after a shanked punt, capped by Ricky Weber’s two-yard run, and 47 yards after a Bear fumble, capped by Weber’s seven-yard pass to Mickey Otis. And then the kick return. The Bears scored with 9:10 left in the game on Berwald’s one-yard sneak to close the gap to 20-14. Kirschling’s 21-yard gain after catching a Berwald pass off his shoelaces set up the score. A high snap botched their two-point attempt. But the Bears got no closer as Roseville held onto the ball for all but three plays of the remaining nine minutes. They forced a three-and-out by the Bears, helped by a sack of Berwald. “The kick return hurt,” said coach Ryan Bartlett, assessing the loss. “They (Roseville)
shortened the game and were able to get some fi rst downs running inside. Offensively we did all right, but had a big turnover and some penalties that just hurt bad. Defi nitely wasn’t our best game and we had some tough injuries.” White Bear Lake out-gained the Raiders 209 yards to 197, netting just 73 yards in 30 rushes while Berwald completed 11 of 20 for 136 yards and no interceptions. Roseville rushed for 171 yards and passed for 26. Anthony Lewis-Royal gained 44 yards in 13 carries. Oxton caught three passes for 38 yards, Alex Lockwood three for 30, Kirschling two for 33, John McBride two for 26, and Rayshawn Brakes one for eight.

WHITE BEAR LAKE FOOTBALL Branden Berwald, senior quarterback, has given White Bear Lake a strong passing attack for the past two seasons. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound right-hander has completed 56 of 108 passes for 655 yards and four touchdowns in four games this season while also running for three touchdowns. As a junior, Berwald passed for 1,032 yards and eight touchdowns. His other sport is lacrosse.

Johnny DeVore hurled three touchdown passes — from three yards to Jacob Wynia in the fi rst quarter, 10 yards to Ethan Loss in the second quarter, and 12 yards to Jordan Hull with 3:40 left in the fourth quarter. The last one gave them the lead with Kyle Oswald’s kick. DeVore, 6-4 senior quarterback, has 13 TD passes in five games. He threw just his second interception of the season and linebacker Isaiah Karels returned it 17 yards for a touchdown. The Bison also had touchdown runs from Karels (11 yards) and Evan Soeffker (three yards). Yardage was just about even as Mahtomedi had 115 yards rushing and 93 passing, and Buffalo had 121 rushing and 75 passing. Mahtomedi had two turnovers and Buffalo none. DeVore completed nine of 22 passes. Dominick Livingston caught three for 35, Loss two for 26 and Hull two for 21. Hull carried 19 times for 80 yards and Tony Neubeck six for 38.

The Mahtomedi Zephyrs had a last-minute change of opponents for Saturday’s game and wound up in Buffalo, where they pulled out a 20-19 win. Their scheduled conference home game against North St. Paul was called off due to a COVID-19 positive test at North. “We found out at about 1 p.m. on Friday,” coach Dave Muetzel said. “That’s happened to a lot of teams but we were more fortunate than most in fi nding another team in the same situation.” Buffalo’s game against St. Francis had also been called off, and the Buffalo and Mahtomedi activities directors quickly arranged a game. That’s happened with several schools this season but not everyone has lined up replacement games. “We have been fortunate to play all five weeks,” Muetzel said. Mahtomedi's boys soccer, girls soccer and volleyball teams have had games canceled. Mahtomedi is 4-1 and Buffalo 0-5 after the Zephyrs won with a late scoring drive.

WHITE BEAR SPORTS BRIEFS Bears are 3-6 after back to back wins over Park, Cretin-DH
White Bear Lake volleyball broke into the win column twice this past week after entering the week with a 1-6 record. The Bears edged Park 20-25, 25-15, 22-25, 26-24, 15-12 in Cottage Grove on Tuesday, and swept Cretin-Derham Hall 26-24, 25-17, 25-18 at home on Wednesday. “This team has been working extremely hard to fi nd their identity and build their legacy,” coach Mike Alexander said. “They’ve committed to the process and begun to focus on the success of the team over the success of the individual. Players are coming into their roles and pushing to play at their highest level.” Against Park (2-6), the Bears had 50 kills, with sophomore Annika Olsen providing 42 assists. That’s the second-most in a match during Alexander’s four-year tenure (Savannah Shea had 47 once). Against CDH (0-9), the Bears were efficient in passing (2.4 average rating out of 3.0) and hitting (.225 percentage, 11 kills per set) and made 33 digs. Kendra Gustafson, senior outside hitter, had a breakout match, Alexander noted, with eight kills, two aces, seven digs and a 2.4 passer rating.

Lauren Eckerle received the White Bear Lake girls soccer team’s top honor and was named to the coaches association all-state second team. She was one of five Bears named all-Suburban East Conference. The junior forward who led the Bears (9-4) with eight goals got the “iBear award” for “intensity, integrity, indomitable will,” along with the outstanding offensive player award. Eckerle picked up her second all-conference award. Joining her on the all-SEC team were both goalies, Haley Vokaty and Tristian Lehner, and defensemen Abby Fettinger and Maren Schoeberl, all seniors. Getting honorable mention were forward Nicole
Moore and midfielders Alexis Smith and Chloe Simanek, all juniors. Moore had six goals and five assists. Fettinger, signed by Minnesota-Morris, was named outstanding defensive player. Also getting awards were freshmen Gabby Hofeld, top rookie, and Jordyn Schmittdiel, most improved.
Bears humbled by Lakeville North
White Bear Lake, playing its second game in five days, was overwhelmed by perennial power Lakeville North 49-14 at home Saturday afternoon. The Panthers, who are 3-2 with losses to two unbeaten teams, led 28-7 in the fi rst quarter and 42-7 at halftime. They rushed for 296 yards. “Lakeville North is a Top 10 team year in and out, so if you don’t execute, you will pay, and we did,” Bear coach Ryan Bartlett said. “We have some adversity now with injuries and some other guys out, so it's all about how we respond.” For the Bears (1-4), touchdowns were tallied by Spencer Oxton on a seven-yard pass from Branden Berwald in the fi rst quarter and by Anthony Lewis-Royal on a four-yard run in the fourth. Michael McCormack booted the extra points. Lakeville’s Logan Freeburg scored on runs of 49, 61, and 14 yards, all in the fi rst period, and totaled 127 yards in four carries. Gunnar Swetala scored from 37 and one yard on his only two carries. Gavin Schraufnagel rushed 11 times for 102 yards and a 37-yard score. Matt Miller passed to Reed Smith for a 19-yard TD. The Bears rushed for only 16 yards and passed for 195. Berwald hit 22 of 34 with one picked off. Tanner Domschot caught seven for 98 yards, Kaleb Kirschling three for 28, Alec Lockwood three for 21, John McBride three for 19, Oxton five for 14, Reyshawn Brakes two for 14, and Lewis-Royal one for 15. The Bears will close the six-game regular season at Woodbury (3-2) on Wednesday, 7 p.m. Bruce Strand
Prep skiers get boost from The Alpine Factory BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
With the alpine ski season coming up, area high school teams are utilizing The Alpine Factory (TAF) as one source to help them compete, especially during the pandemic. The Arden Hills training facility that opened in 2016 offers ski and snowboard activities year-around, including instruction and training, summer day camps, and group race training sessions from October to just before the competition season, which typically begins in November. The facility includes indoor revolving infinite slopes — the skiing version of a running treadmill —where the skier can adjust the speed and angle of the slope depending on the level. The Alpine Factory has a professional certified staff of instructors and coaches, many of them with alpine race experience. “We train alpine ski racers, typically slalom/giant slalom competitors,” said Jessica Parcheta, co-owner with her husband, Dan Parcheta. “We can handle all ability levels. Whether it’s your fi rst time ever on skis or a snowboard, we’ll teach you the basics, and our slopes adjust to challenge even the most advanced performers.” TAF serves high-school alpine teams around the metro area — including White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Centennial, Mounds View, Forest Lake and Stillwater — providing equipment, training and team events. White Bear Lake’s teams attended a dry-land session at Alpine Factory last year. “It was a fun night for our athletes, a great team-bonding experience,” assessed coach Fred Feirn. “I think it’s a great workout for skiing, as it simulates the dynamics of making a turn on snow. Although you can’t replicate the steep edge angles needed for race turns that real snow skiing allows, it

gets close enough to simulate a turn shape.” Feirn said it’s valuable for coaches “because you can watch the athlete from several view points and talk to them as they are making turns. It’s
like watching a runner on a treadmill.” A few Bear racers train there individually during the summer. “It’s a great facility for action sport athletes who need high level specific skill training,” Feirn said.
Centennial coach Zac Beddow said the Cougars don’t do any formal training with The Alpine Factory but they’ve gone there occasionally in the summer for “some fun, optional off-season training,” and he highly recommends their off-season services. “It is a great way to fi ne-tune your skills, even in the Minnesota summers,” he said. The Mounds View alpine team has used TAF in recent years for pre-season training. “Their controlled environment and infinite ski slopes make it a great place to learn, fi ne tune, and enjoy the sport, all year round,” said Erik Saari, Mustang coach. “We found the Alpine Factory's equipment to be in good condition and their well-qualified instructors made it easy for my skiers of all abilities to participate and develop faster.” While Mounds View doesn’t use TAF on a regular basis, Saari said he recommends them for any recreational skiers or for in-depth training. The 2019-20 alpine season was over before the pandemic changed everything, but it looms over the coming winter sports season. The Alpine Factory is ready to help teams prepare if they get to compete. Meanwhile the virus is changing how they operate. “There are more hygiene/safety protocols,” said Parcheta, “and we are more limited in running group events. With larger teams, we are splitting them into smaller squads so that we can be socially distanced within the 5,000-square-foot center.” State and CDC guidelines are closely monitored, she said, to keep customers and staff safe. “We are limiting capacity so we can abide by social distancing guidelines,” she said. They operate by appointment “so we can assure that there’s space on the slope when you want to come in.” For more information on indoor skiing, see thealpinefactory.com.

White Bear high school students will learn from home BY SARA MARIE MOORE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR LAKE — High school students will shift to full distance learning Nov. 17. Currently, they spend two days each week in the school building and three days learning from home. The change comes as COVID-19 cases rise in counties the district serves. Elementary and middle school students in White Bear Lake will continue to use the hybrid learning model. The school board voted 5-2 to shift high school students to distance learning at a special board meeting held Nov. 2. Board members Kim Chapman and Jessica Ellison opposed the switch. Chapman expressed concern about whether the distance learning model is a good fit for every high school student. “What are we going to do with the kids who are struggling already with being home two or three days out of the week?” he asked. Alison Gillespie, assistant superintendent for teaching and learning, said certain students can be targeted to be brought into the building, such as students with special needs, English language learners and those with mental health concerns. Ellison expressed concern about being reactionary versus preventative, since other students may have to learn from home in the future. Ellison opposed keeping middle school students in the hybrid model following a recommendation from the state that secondary students revert to distance learning based on county case counts. “For me, it looks like we should be going 6-12 distance,” she said. Before the school year began, Gov. Tim Walz outlined guidance for school

districts and types of learning based on the number of cases per 10,000 county residents. He recommended hybrid learning for all students when case counts are between 20-30 per 10,000 residents. When case counts are between 30 and 50 per 10,000 residents, distance learning is recommended for secondary students and hybrid learning for elementary students. Case rates in the three counties the district serves have been increasing. Case rates the fi rst two weeks of October were 31.03 in Ramsey County, 43.98 in Washington County and 39.23 in Anoka County. Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak said staff recently met with state officials, who said it would be okay to wait on changing middle school students to distance learning. Younger youth tend to spread the virus less due to their smaller lungs and the fact that they are out and about less frequently. The Minnesota Department of Health and Minnesota Department of Education recently clarified the application and enforcement of the guidance, he noted. Additional data — such as confi rmed cases in schools, the ratio of staff and students in quarantine and the ability to continue other key operations — are also in play in the decision. “Our goal is to maintain in-person learning as much as possible while still respecting the direction of our state and local health professionals,” he said. Kazmierczak said everyone should be prepared that individual schools may shift to full distance learning at some point throughout the school year. The board also discussed implementing strict safety protocols for student activities but recommended they continue.

Mahtomedi High School returns to distance learning The Mahtomedi School Board called an emergency meeting Nov. 2 to respond to increasing COVID-19 case numbers in Washington County. By a vote of 4-1 (board member Stacy Stout opposed), the board approved recommendations to switch to distance learning for Mahtomedi High School students beginning Nov. 10 and remaining in that model for the foreseeable future. “I agree that we must look at data, but our ultimate goal is to be educators,” Stout said. “I’m worried about loss of learning and about mental health. I also really worry about going full distance learning indefi nitely. “ Countered board member Julie McGraw, “I fear that if we don’t make a decision based on public health and science numbers that we could harm the future or current health of our children, students and staff.” According to state health guidelines, school districts throughout the state use the number of positive cases per 10,000 residents in their counties over a two-week period to inform their decisions about the learning model for the various grade levels within the school district. Washington County, in which the Mahtomedi School District is located, registered 23.84 cases per 10,000 population during the the week beginning Sept. 20, and 28.02 cases per 10,000 during the week beginning Sept. 27. During the two-week period of Oct. 4-17, however, Washington County reported 36.08 cases per 10,000 (not including fi gures from the
COVID-19 outbreak in the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Oak Park Heights). The threshold for reverting to distance learning for secondary level students and hybrid learning for elementary students is 30 cases per 10,000. As a result, the Minnesota Regional Support Team recommended distance learning for Mahtomedi High School students — but not the middle school — beginning Nov. 10. Mahtomedi Middle School, Wildwood Elementary and O. H. Anderson Elementary will continue to use the hybrid learning model. Activities and clubs will continue. Director of Student Activities Aaron Forsythe said that sports practices and training would be conducted in pods of 25 students. Activities are optional for students and families, he said. The district will reexamine data with the regional support team during the week of Nov. 16. District officials will continue to monitor case trends and begin planning to transition back to hybrid learning if COVID-19 case numbers start to trend significantly downward, Superintendent Barb Duffrin said. “I look at three weeks as a significant trend,” she said. “Our goal is to be face to face as much as we can, as soon as we can,” Board Chair Lucy Payne said. The board next meets at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, in the District Center Community Room, 1520 Mahtomedi Ave.
MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Mahtomedi City Council at its Nov. 2 meeting took the following action: • Following a presentation from City Engineer John Sachi and a public hearing, approved the 2021-25 capital improvement plan (CIP) and parks improvement plan. The plans will eventually be incorporated into the fi nal budget approval scheduled for Dec. 1. Council held a joint meeting with the Finance Commission on Oct. 20 to discuss the two plans. The five-year parks plan will amount to $943,000, and the fiveyear CIP will amount to $11.3 million overall. Projects in the parks plan include Wedgewood trail and park replacement, Echo Lake Park improvements and the Safe Routes to School implementation. The CIP includes street and trail improvements. • Following a presentation from City Engineer Nick Guilliams, passed a resolution receiving the feasibility report and calling for a public hearing for the Historic District Improvements Project — Phase 4 East. The project will include Spruce Street from TH 244 to Tamarack Street; Rose Street from TH 244 to Tamarack Street; Quail Street from TH 244 to Briarwood Avenue; Tamarack Street from Spruce Street to Quail Street and East Shore Avenue from TH 244 to Juniper Street. The cost of the project is estimated to be $2.6 million. • Passed an ordinance amending City Code Chapter 9, Section 9.01(2)(B), which deals with the discharge of fi rearms as part of a city-sponsored deer management program. The city currently regulates and prohibits fi rearms and dangerous weapons within city limits. This prohibition includes bows and pointed-tipped arrows. To address the overabundance of deer in certain parts of the city, staff is proposing to amend that part of the code to authorize limited deer hunting on certain parcels in the city during a hunt sponsored by Birchwood Village. Members of the Metro Bowhunters Resources Base will participate in the hunt. • Passed a resolution authorizing the establish-
ment of local grant programs to distribute Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF) and expenditures of certain CARES funds for qualified city expenses. On March 27, the federal government established the $150 billion CRF, from which Mahtomedi received $605,736, or $75.34 per capita. On Oct. 5, council approved a resolution identifying $221,069.73 in current qualified city expenses and $30,000 in business/nonprofit grant and technology assistance programs. Within new guidance, the city has now identified an additional $339,666.27 in actual qualified public safety payroll expenses and $15,000 for a St. Andrews Community Resource Center grant program to provide shelter for the homeless. The total amount of city CRF expenditures is now $605,736. • Deferred special assessments for the property owner at 74 Pine Street. Applicants for deferment must apply annually for continuation of the deferment. The deferred assessment will continue to accrue interest for the length of the deferment. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 2 (fi nal) in the amount of $42,203.30 to Miller Excavating for the 2020 storm sewer improvement project.
• Authorized the feasibility report for the 2021 street improvement program after engineering fi rm WSB submitted a long list of streets slated for improvement. Not all the streets will be completed by 2021 or 2023, so the street list will likely be shorter for those years. The city engineer will prepare a feasibility report for council consideration and possible public improvement hearings. • Heard a presentation from Cadet Girl Scouts Hannah Johnson and Nikki Woura on the progress of their Silver Award project — a memorial garden at the Mahtomedi Fire Department honoring fi rst responders and those who died in the COVID-19 pandemic. The garden is planted, and a circle of rocks has been installed. All that remains to install is a 6-foot wooden memorial post. The Scouts requested suggestions from the community on what to inscribe on the post. They also prepared brochures about fi rst responders and COVID-19 victims for distribution at the Wildwood Library. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road, or by videoconference. ns Press Publicatio Avenue 4779 BloomLake, MN 55110 White Bear TED REQUES SERVICE CHANGE

The city will be reimbursed from a Rice Creek Watershed District grant in the amount of $9,637.50, which represents 75% of the construction cost. • Passed a resolution electing to participate in the local housing incentives account program under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act (LCA). The Metropolitan Council has established affordable and life-cycle housing goals for the city for 2021-30. These goals must be adopted by resolution for the city to be eligible to participate in the LCA programs in 2021. The city has set a goal of 12 to 22 affordable housing units and 50 life-cycle housing units during that period.

New biography explores the rage at injustice that fueled Steinbeck’s works At a glance, there doesn’t seem to be much connection between marine biologist Rachel Carson and literary giant John Steinbeck, Nobel-winning author of “The Grapes of Wrath.� But for Grant-based writer William Souder, finding the link was a stroke of luck. “Mad At the World: A Life of John Steinbeck,� released this October, is Souder’s fourth book and third biography. The idea for a Steinbeck biography came while he was researching his 2012 biography of Carson, “On a Farther Shore.� While writing her own books about marine biology, Carson wanted to emulate another marine biologist, Ed Ricketts. Ricketts was a wellknown writer who took a new approach to ecology, categorizing the organisms in the intertidal zone of Monterey Bay, California, by their place in the ecosystem, rather than by taxonomy alone. When Souder learned more about Ricketts, he learned about his lifelong friendship with John Steinbeck. Each strongly influenced the other throughout their life’s work. They even embarked on a scientific expedition along Mexico’s Gulf of California together, and afterward co-authored a book about the experience, called “Sea of Cortez.� The story piqued Souder’s curiosity. Steinbeck was a rich subject of exploration, for several reasons. “If you look at his most important work, his great talent, great characteristic, was his empathy,� Souder said. Often, it was toward the displaced and dispossessed, especially migrant workers, as readers will recognize from “The Grapes of Wrath� and “Of Mice and Men,� and throughout his other works. From start to finish, “Mad At the World� was a five-year project. Souder’s research included travels across the country to university library collections, a cassette tape archive of interviews with Steinbeck’s friends and acquaintances in Salinas, and even correspondence with living members of the family. Much of the information was gleaned from the voluminous collections of letters written by Steinbeck—to friends, colleagues, lovers, editors and new acquaintances. “He was able to relate to people who were living at the margins of society, who for one reason or another had sort of fallen through the cracks,� Souder said. “Steinbeck understood these people and was able to
listen to them and recreate their speech and the way they thought and the way they felt. These are people other people walk past on a city street, (who) in so many ways are invisible and voiceless. He made them visible and he gave them a voice, and I think that is the remarkable feature of so much of his work.� It’s a concept that might resonate with current-day readers. “This is our continuing problem, whether it’s homelessness or race; we have a society in which far too many people have been shunted off to the side,� Souder said, “people who are easy to ignore until they’re a problem. And then, of course, once they’re a problem, that multiplies the way the deck is stacked against them.� Steinbeck’s fury at the disregard and violence toward people living at the margins of society fueled his best work. Souder’s title, “Mad At the World,� is in reference to Steinbeck’s intolerance for systemic greed and exploitation at the expense of kindness and human decency. “The way our society is organized, it relies on being able to push down and oppress a certain portion of the population,� Souder said. During the Great Depression era, Steinbeck witnessed thousands of migrant workers flooding into California from the center of the country who were looking for work harvesting crops and doing manual labor. The landowners and large farm conglomerates that hired them did everything possible to keep the workers from organizing into unions, even resorting to violence. “There was this strange equation in which the big farm interests needed these people to do the work; they needed cheap labor just like we do today. They were necessary, but they were also despised. Thought of as being dirty and disease-ridden and dishonest and disreputable. This infuriated Steinbeck.� Most of the migrant workers were homeless, living in roadside shantytowns, ditches and even open fields. When heavy rains flooded the camps, the rising waters trapped people without food or medical supplies. Although a few organizations attempted to send aid to the desperate workers, the farm companies hired

The title of Souder’s book is a nod to Steinbeck’s dismay over the treatment of marginalized members of society.
vigilante gangs to block the relief efforts. In a mad rush driven by fury, Steinbeck wrote the novel “The Grapes of Wrath� in only 100 days. “He was motivated to tell the world,� Souder said. The struggles in Steinbeck’s personal life, in contrast to his literary success, also make him an interesting subject. The writer was married three times and had two sons from whom he was estranged for much of his life. “In terms of the life he lived, he’s a deeply flawed man who had great success in his chosen career but made a mess of much of his personal life. For a biographer, that’s a valuable thing,� Souder said. And perhaps most interesting of all, Steinbeck lived and wrote through one of the most dramatic periods of change in history. The Wright Brothers launched their first successful flight around the time Steinbeck was born, and just a few months after his death in 1968, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. “He’s been dead a little over 50 years, but he’s relevant again today because of the books he wrote in the 1930s that have to do with human migration and other disasters that are familiar to us now,� Souder said.
Birch Lake Elementary
Maurion Davis is currently in 5th grade at Birch Lake Elementary. He lives in White Bear Lake with his mom and siblings. Maurion takes ownership of his learning and is inspired by his mom, whom he gives credit to for pushing him to work hard and supports him in every way. When Maurion is not working hard at his studies, he loves to read, and play basketball and video games. Maurion would one day like to create a comic book to entertain people who share the same interests, or become a pediatrician. He would also like to thank his mother for inspiring him to do his best in many aspects. His advice to other students is to “not be so hard on yourself�. Maurion lives by this motto and he says it helps him do his best because sometimes he knows he can’t do things, but keeps trying and doesn’t let himself feel defeated.

Weather tidbits
Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com It was a 45Âş swing in high temperatures this past week from the previous week. The last week of October we experienced record low highs and this past week record warmth. The morning low temperatures were 10Âş warmer than the average highs for this time of year. How odd it felt to walk out in the morning thinking, "It's warm out." No one was complaining. The front moved in during the day Monday bringing much needed rain, but temperatures fell to right where they should be this time of year.

1st COVID-19 spit testing site now open in Twin Cities BY ELIZABETH CALLEN SHOREVIEW EDITOR
East metro residents seeking a more comfortable alternative to the COVID-19 nasal swab test can now fi nd one locally. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has opened a saliva testing site in St. Paul at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium (175 W. Kellogg Blvd., St. Paul). As of Friday, Oct. 30, the site is open and ready for patients. It is the fi rst saliva testing site in the Twin Cities metro area and the seventh in the state. Testing is free to all Minnesotans who believe they need a COVID-19 test, including those who are asymptomatic, according to an MDH press release. “Minnesota is seeing an alarming jump in COVID-19 cases, and neighboring states are seeing even worse. The good news is that Minnesotans have it in their power to make things better if everyone does their part,” said MDH Commissioner Jan Malcolm in a statement. “Testing is a key part of our strategy, and we've made
great progress in removing obstacles to testing thanks to strong partnerships across the state. When combined with social distancing, masking, avoiding crowds and staying home when sick, testing helps us slow the spread of COVID-19 and move us closer to the day when we have safe and effective vaccines.” The saliva test, like the traditional nasal swab, is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, which detects the virus's genetic material. The MDH says it has the same effectiveness rate as a nasal swab but is generally more comfortable to take. Participants will self-administer the saliva test by spitting into a funnel attached to a small tube and so should avoid eating, drinking, chewing or smoking anything for at least 30 minutes before testing. Results will be provided by email within 24 to 48 hours. Due to high expected demand, testing in St. Paul will be available seven days a week, from noon to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. Participants will be asked for health insurance information so the state can bill their insurance companies; if a person is
uninsured, however, the state will cover the cost to keep testing free for everyone. “We're pleased this hub will open in St. Paul and offer another fast, easy way for people who live and work in the east metro to get tested,” said Ramsey County Board Chair Toni Carter. “The new site expands and complements Ramsey County efforts to reach underserved populations through the low-barrier testing we have been offering at Aldrich Arena and at other sites with our community partners.” The state's fi rst saliva testing site opened Sept. 23 in Duluth. Since then, sites have opened in Winona, Moorhead, Brooklyn Park, Mankato and St. Cloud. Three additional sites are set to open in the Twin Cities metro area within the coming weeks. Those tests will be processed locally, according to MDH, at a new saliva testing lab in Oakdale.
