Bond passes, new school plans underway

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Now that the White Bear Lake Area School's $326 million bond referendum has passed, Hugo can expect a new elementary school to likely open in fall 2022. The new one-campus high school in White Bear Lake will probably open in fall 2024.

The bond referendum, one of the largest district asks in state history, passed by voters at about 57%, or 8,536, votes on Nov. 5. About 43%, or 6,336, voted no.

Superintendent Wayne Ka-

zmierczak said he was crossing his fingers going into election night but knew the district had worked really hard to inform the community about the bond and what it would mean for students.

“There was obviously strong support through the entire school district, and the margin of victory was pretty substantial,” he said.

“It is pretty exciting to think about how many students are going to be positively impacted by this for generations to come.”

With the money, White Bear Lake Area Schools plans to build a new elementary school in Hugo,

expand North Campus to house all high school grades and construct upgrades at all other schools.

The plans include the relocation of Sunrise Park Middle School to South Campus. Sunrise will become an early childhood center, transition center and senior center, and will house district offices.

The vacated District Center, where the district offices are currently, will be an expansion for Central Middle School. Oneka Elementary in Hugo will become a K-5 school and Hugo Elementary SEE BOND, PAGE 9A

Avaiyah and Isaiah Ballweber take advantage of the sunshine, relatively warm weather and an irresistible pile of raked leaves for some late fall frolicking Saturday, Nov. 9 in White Bear Lake. The autumnal respite was brief, however, and the predicted temperatures for the upcoming week are definitely wintry.

The Mahtomedi area community hopes to build a $15 million ice arena on district land for area hockey and other sports programs.

So far, Rinc 2 Corp. (Recreational Ice and Neighborhood Center), the nonprofit that has been planning and will manage the ice arena, has received $700,000 in pledges, according to Alex Rogosheske, founder of the organization. The largest pledge of $400,000 came from a private citizen, he noted. The Mahtomedi Youth Lacrosse Association has pledged $100,000 for the cost of one wall; the association plans to have storage in the arena and use the outside of the wall for ball throwing practice.

The nearly 46,000-square-

foot arena will have space for storage for various sports. The arena will seat 1,200 people and have a total of seven locker rooms. The arena bathrooms will also have access from indoors and outdoors so that those facilities can be used by sports teams yearround.

The arena will be patterned after the St. Croix Valley arena in Stillwater. $15 million is the top end of the nonprofit's fundraising goal. “Our plans can vary depending on how much money we raise,” Rogosheske said.

Construction would take about seven months. The arena would be located next to playing fields east of the high school and middle school. The land is owned by Mahtomedi

The attorney for the commissioners of the Department of Labor and Industry and Department of Health, Peter Surdo, reminded the judge that all 12 cases of lead poisoning in children have a common denominator: a parent who worked at Water Gremlin.

The judge asked the plaintiffs to focus their efforts on what happens when employees leave the facility.

Proceedings do not involve employees involved in the production process.

Water Gremlin returns to court Dec. 4 to give the judge a progress report on keeping lead from leaving the plant.

The hazardous waste issue is separate from the lead issue.

In a Nov. 6 statement, Water Gremlin wrote: “We are working in cooperation with the state on our shared goal of ensuring that no lead leaves our plant in the future.”

When the court hearing ended the previous Friday, the company reported it had been “working around the clock to clean our locker rooms, cafeteria and employee vehicles, create new training materials for our employees and to train our managers and supervisors to better apply our improved hygiene policies.”

Judge Castro said the migration of lead dust from Water Gremlin to employee cars and homes is a “public health nuisance.”

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The day Water Gremlin was back to business, the company was hit with more pollution charges.

A Nov. 5 administrative order from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) requires the company to make changes to the way it manages hazardous waste.

New demands were ordered after an agency investigation determined Water Gremlin failed to comply with regulations that minimize possible release of hazardous waste at its township facility.

During three September inspections, MPCA found leaks of waste containing lead and TCE on the facility’s floor, walls and equipment.

Cracks in the floor provided pathways for lead and TCE-contaminated materials to leak into the subsoils.

The company also failed to stop releases of used oil into the environment.

Water Gremlin must complete more than 20 specific requirements to become fully compliant within 30 days. Seven of the required actions have already been completed.

The latest action came the same day a district judge allowed workers to return to work. That followed a mandated training day on lead exposure prevention.

The company had its third day in court Nov. 6 after the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry asked a judge to extend a halt to operations regarding manufacture of lead fishing sinkers and lead battery terminals. The court order followed reports of lead poisoning in a dozen children.

Judge Leonardo Castro allowed employees to return to work last week after Water Gremlin agreed to

Homeowners find East Goose Lake ‘beautiful’

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Residents of East Goose Lake question a need to ban motorized boat traffic if the lake is treated with aluminum sulfate (alum). They contend that the impaired lake is getting healthier because of the boats and are adamantly opposed to any kind of ban.

A spokesperson for the homeowners, Lindsey Carpenter, maintains that alum treatment is done all over the state, including Bald Eagle Lake, without removing boats.

“This is a huge part of our dispute,” Carpenter said.

Homeowners took exception to comments made in an Oct. 30 article (“Goose Lake boating ban postponed to 2020”) on a future City Council decision to temporarily restrict boating on the lake so it can be treated. The issue is a sensitive one, and they felt their side deserved more space.

“Once homeowners started skiing and using the lake, it started to show improvement,” noted Carpenter, who is also a longtime member of the Midwest Ski Otters team.

She had told council that a shallow lake in Maplewood, Kohlman Lake, was treated with alum without restricting boating. Kohlman gets 11 feet deep compared to 9 feet for Goose, Carpenter said.

The Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) contends that most lakes referenced by the homeowners are deeper lakes that don’t have the same level of sediment mixing from boating activity that a shallow lake does.

The process of floc settling is the reason for a temporary restriction on motorized boating, explained Dawn Tanner, program development coordinator for VLAWMO. Boating traffic would disrupt the sediment and reduce effectiveness, Tanner said, especially during a critical time period following alum application.

“Again, this is the dispute,” Carpenter countered. “Alum treatment does not require removal of motorized boat traffic.

There is science and real-time proof that says the opposite. There are studies that show (that) boats on plane do not disrupt the sediment.”

If the treatment receives funding, VLAWMO would apply the alum in two treatments: the first in fall, when it would bind with phosphorus and settle on the lake bottom as “floc.” Over time, the floc becomes crystalline and is covered by a biofilm layer that protects the alum and bound phosphorus. The process takes two to four months in

optimal conditions.

The summer boating season would be the time when floc is settling and becoming crystalline with the biofilm layer forming over the top, Tanner said.

The second application would be the next spring.

“A two-year ban on boating would likely be sufficient,” Tanner noted. “The current draft of the (city) ordinance says three years, so it would need to be amended.”

Asked if the grant request to help finance the $170,000 treatment would fail if boats aren’t banned, Tanner replied that the watershed is not sure.

“If the grant is funded and temporary boating restrictions are not in place, VLAWMO and the city of White Bear Lake will need to consult with BWSR (Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources) as to how to proceed,” she said.

East Goose Lake, the headwaters of Lambert Creek, was added to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency impaired waters list in 2010. VLAWMO says East Goose is the most impaired lake in its jurisdiction based on phosphorus and chlorophyll a levels.

The lake has a legacy of pollution, according to Tanner, who said VLAWMO has been monitoring Goose for at least 10 years.

Questions about the algae bloom on West Goose Lake in June were also further explained.

Tanner feels there is confusion about what an algae bloom is. “The lake is in a persistent algae bloom state that starts early in the season and continues through the summer,” she explained.

“That is shown by the high content of chlorophyll a in the water column, which is currently at four times the state standard.

“Chlorophyll a levels are a measure

of the amount of green in the water. It’s a general measure of algae but does not tell what kind of algae is present. Bluegreen algae blooms are not regularly tested because the toxins are not reliably produced. That means toxins can be present when a bloom is not visible; a bloom can be visible and have algae producing toxins, or not. Toxins can also be produced one day but not the next.”

Both East and West Goose have had blue-green algae blooms. East Goose last had a significant bloom in 2013. A bluegreen algae bloom on West Goose was detected as part of a plant survey last June conducted by the Ramsey County Soil and Water Conservation Division.

The Goose Lake homeowners feel

removal of boats is a drastic move.

“There is no precedent,” said Carpenter, an attorney with Meshbesher & Spence Ltd. “Residents have never been removed from a lake in Minnesota. We want to convey to people that this is a beautiful lake and it is improving.

“We care about the lake and this is a huge deal for us. It has been a great place for our families. We all chose Goose Lake for our families of little skiers.”

The homeowners’ representative would like to see interested parties partner to clean up Goose. “There is no reason to impact the families who care about Goose the most,” she said.

Positive persuasion

he training in our household seems to be progressing as planned. I’ve been doing the best I can dealing with the challenges and limitations of this type of interspecies communication. While apparently not the quickest study, the big one is definitely making progress, while the smaller one has made great strides in understanding some of the subtle nuances of both the verbal and nonverbal messages I’m sending to communicate my needs and moods.

I’ve managed to work out a pretty nice routine with the big one when he comes home in the evening. After I greet him at the door, he bends down at just the right angle so I can leap up onto his shoulder. After I position myself correctly, I purr in his ear to calm him and communicate that I’m ready to proceed. Sometimes he has a mind of his own and we end up Angle of scooting around the house, stopping to check on various things and look View out windows at the birds and squirrels outside. I continue to purr because I Bean enjoy the unique perspective these jaunts provide, but I have to admit my favorite is when we make a stop at the large box that has cool air and treats inside. With my patience and guidance he has learned how to feed me bite–sized morsels of leftover chicken (dark meat please) while I remain perched comfortably on his shoulder. I have to give credit to the smaller one as well, because she is consistently finding new and creative ways to entertain and challenge me during our play sessions.

While I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made I realize that we’ve had our share of misunderstandings. Sometimes I do get impatient and don’t know how to properly release my pent up energy and frustration. I’ve learned the hard way that when I lash out with surprise nips and scratches it just gets me shunned and banished, which believe it or not, kind of hurts my feelings. They’ve learned that yelling just makes me more agitated and confused.

I think all of us are gaining an appreciation for the power of positive reinforcement while realizing the futility of lashing out with anger and negativity. I’ve discovered that I can get virtually everything I need by practicing my positive persuasion techniques, including one of my best moves, a spontaneous flop on my side combined with a twist, stretch and purrs.

I’ve even helped the big one alleviate any remaining guilt he might have concerning his napping habits.

When I find him napping I either climb up on his side and find a secure resting spot or snuggle up near his chest. I’m an avid proponent and living example of the rejuvenating power of naps.

There have been occasions when my household companions have come in from the outside smelling like they’ve been cavorting with dogs. I hear names like Bruno and Ella and recollections of how much fun was had with these animals, followed by a discussion about the feasibility of introducing a puppy into the household. I suppose I could get worried or panic, but instead I choose to find ways to demonstrate and reaffirm my positive attributes and versatility as a pet. If there was a job description checklist for an ideal pet, I’m confident that I would compare favorably against the competition in a number of categories.

However, be assured that I’m not complacent about my current situation. I started my life on the street and in foster care before I was adopted through Second Chance Animal Rescue based in White Bear Lake, so I realize what my life could have been. With this in mind, if they decide to get a puppy, I hope they consider a rescue animal.

So, overall things appear to be moving quite nicely toward world domination. Oops, I mean positive and mutually beneficial coexistence.

Making sense of your Medicare options Medicare annual enrollment period is here, which means you have until Dec. 7 to pick a new Medicare plan for 2020 if you want one. And, even if you’re happy with your plan, many people don’t realize their plan’s benefits can change from year to year. So how do you know if you’ve got the right one?

First your health needs, then your plan details First consider your health.

Health history, and frequency and type of doctor visits, will help you identify the best-fit plans.

Movers & Preventive medicine and screening Shakers services are Sara Wagner typically covered under Medicare plans, but it’s important to think about additional care you might need in the next year. Medications matter, too. Most Medicare plans offer outpatient prescription drug coverage, called Part D. As you think about your Part D options, check if your drugs are covered by the plans you’re considering.

When you have a good idea about the type of care you’ll need in the coming year, it’s time to explore the Medicare options available to you.

Supplement vs Advantage In the Northeast Suburbs, many people will consider Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage plans.

Medicare Supplement plans have access to any provider in the U.S. that accepts Medicare, meaning there is no network.

However, Supplement plans can be more expensive per month and typically require a person to undergo a health evaluation before they can be accepted.

These plans cover medical services only, so you will also need to purchase a Part D drug plan if you want drug coverage, and will have to carry multiple cards to verify your coverage with doctors and pharmacies.

Medicare Advantage plans have the benefit of convenience and simplicity. All of the coverage is within one plan – often with drug coverage included – and one number to call with questions. Many Medicare Advantage plans also have low or zero dollar premiums and extra benefits like dental, eyewear and routine vision and hearing exam coverage.

Cruel Apple Caramel Cake

B

eing the cook in the family has the advantage of getting to choose what I feel like cooking or baking. I cook, I choose.

Simple. Family members can always make requests, but I get to decide, ultimately.

My philosophy is to eat anything and everything in moderation. I prefer healthy food choices over unhealthy ones. Eighty percent of the time I eat and make healthy things.

The other twenty is for special treats.

Occasionally a family member will decide they don’t want to eat any sweets and ask me not to make treats.

What? Me, not make treats?

My suggestion: Don’t come home on Friday (that’s when I bake treats)—go for a run instead. The house will be filled with the sweet smell of apples and caramel baking. It will be a serious lesson in self-control if you do.

At least I warned them.

Wild Chow Lisa Erickson

The real issue is self-control. Just because the cake I baked is divine, you don’t have to eat the whole cake. I know it may sound like I’m being cruel, but I’m not. The thought of not making yummy treats sounds crueler.

Apple Caramel Cake

C Caramell sauce: 1/4 cup butter or margarine 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup vanilla ice cream Cake: 2 tart apples, sliced the round way, cored 1 1/2 cups cake flour

1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp salt 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 butter, softened 2 eggs 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/3 cup milk Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray; set aside.

For the caramel sauce: Melt butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Stir in brown sugar. Heat to boiling; remove from heat and stir in ice cream. Pour into the bottom of the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Arrange apple slices over the caramel sauce in a circular decorative pattern.

For the cake: In large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and the salt and set aside.

In another large bowl, beat the

brown sugar and butter with a hand mixer at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until pale and fluffy; about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture alternating with milk, beating after each addition until batter is smooth. Spread batter over apples.

Bake for 1 hour or until cake springs back in the middle. Cool for 10 minutes.

Run a knife around sides of pan to loosen the cake. Place the serving plate upside down over the pan and flip the cake. Remove pan. Serve cake warm with a scoop of ice cream on the side.

Frethem elected county commissioner

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

The newly elected Ramsey County Commissioner for District 1 is Nicole Joy Frethem, of Shoreview.

Frethem won the Nov. 5 election by a small margin, gaining about 52% of the votes. She will fi ll the seat vacated by Shoreview resident Blake Huffman earlier this year.

“I’m profoundly grateful to all of those who helped us win this election: the supporters, volunteers, donors, and my amazing staff and core team,” Frethem announced after the election. “It has been a gift to be your candidate. I am proud to represent all of you and to have worked to elevate your voices throughout this campaign. I will continue to do so as your next county commissioner.”

Frethem, a political newcomer, announced her campaign in May and was endorsed by the DFL party in June. In the August primary, she received about 41 percent of the votes, according to the Office of the Secretary of State. Randy Jessup, a former Republican state representative for District 42A, received about 34 percent and was Frethem's competition in the November election.

He received about 47% of the votes in the general election.

Frethem, a mother of two, has worked to support the needs of families in the private and public sectors. She is a supervisor in the Child Care Services division of the Minnesota Department of Human Services.

Frethem has stated her policies and positions are on behalf of working families in Ramsey County. She

said her top priorities for the county are addressing water surface issues in Shoreview and streamlining county human services. “I think we can innovate within existing funds to provide better service more efficiently,” she stated in a previous issue of the Press.

According to her campaign, she plans to work toward development of the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP). She hopes to help resolve differences between the

city of Arden Hills and the county regarding the plans.

“I agree with the vision of Rice Creek Commons and would like to see a successful live-work-play community,” she noted. “How we achieve that vision is what’s most important. We have one chance to do this right, and I don’t think the solution is to forge ahead if the current plan won’t achieve the desired results.”

Frethem also hopes to help fi x the

affordable child care and affordable housing crises. According to her campaign, she wants Ramsey County to simplify the family child care licensure process and better support current providers. She also sees increased housing density as an economic necessity to create more affordable housing.

Frethem is currently studying law at Hamline School of Law. In her free time, she enjoys participating in community theater.

A White Bear Lake man is dead after an officer-involved shooting in Cottage Grove Nov. 4.

Noah Ante Erickson, 34, of White Bear Lake, died of suicide due to a gunshot wound, according to the Ramsey County Medical Examiner.

Erickson apparently kidnapped a woman at gunpoint from the parking lot of her Maplewood workplace at approximately 6 a.m. on Monday, forcing her to drive them to her St. Paul residence. According to information from the St. Paul Police Department, Erickson bound the woman and her roommate and assaulted her roommate. Erickson then left the scene in the assault victim’s stolen vehicle. Erickson abandoned the woman’s vehicle in the Hidden Valley Neighborhood in Cottage Grove. He carjacked a second vehicle at gunpoint from a man in that neighborhood at approximately 8:30 a.m.

Erickson abandoned the second vehicle a few blocks away on Hidden Valley Trail South and fled on foot, eventually entering a residence at 7471 Hidden Valley Court South carrying a handgun. Two adults and two children were inside the home. After a short time in the home Erickson entered the home’s garage, at which point the home’s residents fled through the front door. Erickson stole a pickup truck from the garage and left the home.

Law enforcement attempting to locate Erickson had converged on the neighborhood. When Erickson fled in the pickup, he drove around police barricades and across yards, eventually crashing into a tree several houses away.

After crashing the vehicle, Erickson exited the

The Mahtomedi Youth Hockey Association has seen consistent increases in registrations. Over the last 15 years, participation has increased by about 200.

ICE ARENA: founders grew up playing hockey on outdoor rinks FROM PAGE 1A

Public Schools, which approved a 20-year land lease agreement for $1 per year in 2016. The school district will get a 5% discount on ice time.

With no mortgage and no property tax to pay, Rinc 2 Corp. expects the ice arena would be self-sustainable.

Varsity programs and the Mahtomedi Youth Hockey Association would pay the current rates they pay for ice time. The ice would also be rented out to others.

The estimated annual operating budget is $450,000 to $550,000.

The arena plans went through environmental reviews over the last couple of years and approval was granted by the Grant City Council earlier this year.

Rinc 2 Corp. was founded by Rogosheske and Brandon Sampair, two lifelong area residents who grew up using outdoor rinks in the area. They started the organization because they saw the need for a rink.

“I was inspired to help because I grew up in Mahtomedi, played youth hockey in Mahtomedi, traveled early mornings and late nights for practice and never had a rink to call our home arena,” Sampair explained.

Hockey teams currently travel for ice time and often find it hard to get decent times to practice. The youth association had 540 registrants last year, up by more than 200 over the last 15 years.

“The ice arena will improve the youth hockey expe-

rience by providing a home arena but, more important than that, it will provide a gathering place for kids to see their friends and enjoy playing the game and watching their high school teams,” Sampair noted.

“Similar to outstate arenas and youth programs, the goal for this arena is to provide a facility that becomes the focal point in the community and is used for sports, weddings, graduations, etc.”

If you are interested in donating, contact Rogosheske at 651-253-3127 or alex.rogosheske@rogo-law. com; or John Schwietz, the project fundraiser, at 651210-5240 or schwietzcpa@comcast.net.

an early childhood center. Districtwide safety and security improvements, as well as flexible learning spaces, are also part of the plans.

“The community has come together and given the school district the ability to help with schools of the future,” said School Board Chair Don Mullin. “All the way around, I just think this is really the community coming in and saying here is what we want the district to be for the future.”

Mullin said he has two children in high school, one at North Campus and one at South Campus, so they won't get to experience the one-campus high school but he is excited for other children who will. He recently spoke with a father of a second grader and kindergartner who expressed thankfulness that his children will be able to experience high school together in one building, he noted.

Now that the bond has passed, design and construction plans will get underway. The district has already started working with a planning team and a construction schedule should soon be in place, Mullin said.

Just like the district's recent strategic planning process and facilities planning that brought the bond idea forth, the district plans to create opportunities for community members to give input into the design process. The opportunity to essentially build a new high school in a school district as old as White Bear will require a process to think about what it could look like, he noted. “We want to make sure we are informing the design process with sound educational practices,” Mullin said.

“Results are better when you have more people involved,” he added. “That was strength of the plan put before people in the community. ... It was a solid plan and well thought out and the result of months of hard work by lots of people.”

The plans for the bond referendum were put forth by a 90-member committee that met last school year. The facility planning committee of staff, parents and community members came to a consensus on the plans after discussing five options for high school and elementary configurations to meet growing enrollment needs. The facilities planning was prompted by the district's recent strategic planning. The district projects that more than 2,000 new students will enroll during the next 10 years due to housing growth.

The growth will be 25% higher than current capacity.

The district expects to begin the design process for the new elementary school in Hugo this school year and break ground on the new elementary school in Hugo next fall. It is hoped it would open by fall of 2022. The district

The tax impact for the $326 million in voter-approved bonds on a $275,000 home will be an increase of $280 per year, according to board documents.

For a $1 million commercial building, it will be about $1,300. The tax rate will increase from about 25 to 35 percent.

The bond increase will begin in January 2020 and stay level to 2044.

Church fires up brick oven for good of community

BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER

In the Gospel of John, Jesus commands his disciple Peter, “Feed my sheep.” He may not have specifically mentioned pizza, but through their community brick oven, parishioners at White Bear Lake United Methodist Church (WBLUMC) are using homemade wood-fired pizzas to answer that call.

The idea to build a brick oven in the church's backyard came from former WBLUMC pastor Bryce Johnson, whose two-month sabbatical in 2009 took him to baking classes in Italy and an apprenticeship with a master baker in rural France. Throughout Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, brick ovens were a centerpiece in village life, providing a space for people to both break bread and, in turn, bond with one another.

That spirit of togetherness still lights the fire of the WBLUMC brick oven today.

“It's a way of getting the community together,” said parishioner Mike Faust, a retired engineer who spearheaded the oven's design and construction.

The White Bear Lake Area Emergency Food Shelf was among the first recipients of the brick oven's bounty.

Churchgoers thought a few dozen loaves of bread seemed like the obvious offering but found out that a monetary donation would go much further.

“When we first started, we thought, 'Oh, we'll bake a bunch of bread so the food shelf can use it,' but they don't need bread because the bakeries all have the day-old or two-day-old bread

they can get,” Faust said. “What they need is money.”

So started the church's Baking With a Purpose ministry, a fundraising initiative that has benefited myriad causes throughout the last near-decade.

“What we do is bake two different kinds of bread on the first Saturday of the month. We'll typically bake 100 to 150 loaves of bread. It's a freewill offering, but it typically raises between $500 and $700, which goes to whatever designated entity that comes out of what we call our Bread Ministry Team,” Faust explained. “When people come to church, they know when they buy a couple of loaves of bread, two things are happening—they go home with one or two nice loaves of bread, and their money is going to a good cause.”

Among those good causes are local public schools. Monetarily supporting area school districts is a new form of

outreach for the WBLUMC Bread Ministry Team, but Faust said the decision to do so was easy.

“One of the things a church wants to do is help people,” he said. “We send money to Haiti, we do a lot of work with Guatemalans, and that's still important. But what can we do in our own backyard?”

The newly formed Zephyr Performing Arts Foundation is one of those backyard beneficiaries. The group was created last year to support the band, choir and theater students within the Mahtomedi School District. This fall, WBLUMC hosted a fundraiser for the group, offering up its facility and brick ovens for an all-you-can-eat pizza dinner whose profits benefited Mahtomedi's many arts and music programs.

Kelly Olsen, Zephyr Performing Arts Foundation co-president, said she has nothing but praise for the WBLUMC parishioners who made that fundraiser—which raised over $1,000—possible.

“I just had to walk in with my volunteers and my hungry mouths and they

did all the heavy lifting—planning, purchasing food, providing the space, supervising the students and more, while letting us take the profit above the cost of ingredients,” she said. “I just thought it was so generous that the church was doing this. They need to be acknowledged for the good work they're doing in our community.”

But Faust insists that he and his fellow congregants are merely answering the call of their faith.

“We've got this facility, and there's a need in the community,” he said. “This stuff would just be sitting here otherwise.”

Bill Eaves, WBLUMC senior pastor, echoed that sentiment.

“A big thing we want to do here is to help our community and help the young people in our community, and this is a great way to do that. Bread is such a central symbol in the Christian faith, and the oven says, 'The Bread of Life' right on it,” Eaves said. “That's what it really comes back to, our willingness to share nourishment with hungry people.”

Hotter, wetter: Minnesota’s changing climate

First in a series

BY RITA ERICKSON SPECIAL TO THE PRESS

Around the world, extreme weather events and rising temperatures point to a changing climate. Storms and floods, hurricanes and tornadoes, heat waves, droughts and fires have all increased in number, intensity and duration.

Globally, floods and extreme rainfall now occur four times more often than in 1980. This summer, all-time temperature records were shattered in Europe (Germany, France, Poland and Czech Republic), and life-threatening heat plagued India, Japan and the Middle East.

Residents of landlocked, moderate-latitude Minnesota tend to feel shielded from such “worst events.” However, as Mark Seeley (retired University of Minnesota meteorologist) noted, “Every incremental change we look at in the global record translates into a very highly amplified change in our Minnesota backyard.”

The changing Midwestern climate was one theme of a “Climate Reality Project” leadership training session held at the Minneapolis Convention Center in August. The Climate Reality Project, a nonprofit organization founded by

former Vice President Al Gore, has as its mission “catalyzing a global solution to the climate crisis by cutting greenhouse gas emissions and speeding the shift to renewables.”

More than 1,100 participants from 30 countries attended the training, and 300 of them were Minnesotans —many of whom learned “startling” new information about Minnesota weather trends and projections.

For example, Minneapolis is second only to New Orleans as the city most impacted by climate change, said Mayor Jacob Frey, who appeared on a panel with St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter. (This finding comes from a study of America’s 60 largest cities conducted by Climate Central.) Despite its distance from rising sea levels, Minnesota is highly vulnerable to severe storms, flooding, extreme heat and drought. The state has been the site of three disaster declarations (one federal and two state) so far this year due to heavy snow and rainstorms, flooding, high winds and tornadoes.

Heavy precipitation events now occur here two to three times more often than in the 20th century. Three Minnesota locations set statewide annual rainfall records in 2018. Harmony came in high-

est at 60.21 inches (75 inches of rain per year categorizes a forest as a rainforest).

The rate of precipitation across the state has increased by about 1/2 inch per decade over the last 50 years, and now averages about 32 inches per year.

And it’s not just rain, it’s “rain bombs,” like the one earlier this summer that flooded Minneapolis streets.

These microbursts (the meteorological term) are said to be due to the disruption of the water cycle: More water evaporates as oceans warm, and warmer air absorbs more and more moisture to the point where water release becomes torrential.

In the next 50 years, Minnesota is projected to experience 30 more days with temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and 30 fewer days with temperatures below freezing, on average. Minnesota winters are warming 13 times faster than summers. These warmer winters result in snowmelt rates that are so fast (sometimes within 24 hours) that urban sewer systems can’t handle the water.

With heavy snow and rain comes flooding. This spring, St. Paul was the site of the longest flood event in Mississippi history (42 straight days). And in

addition to “riverine” flooding, “overland” flooding of saturated fields occurs with increasing frequency and scale in Minnesota.

Over the last 50 years, Minnesota has warmed the equivalent of 5 degrees F per century. Five degrees F equals 2.8 degrees Celsius, well above the 2 C maximum warming (above preindustrial levels) set by the Paris Climate Accord in 2016, and the 1.5 C (3.6 F) uppermost limit urged by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2018.

Overall, the world’s temperature is currently 1 C warmer than preindustrial levels but is poised to rise quickly unless emissions are curtailed.

Rita Erickson, PhD, is a White Bear Lake native now living in Scandia. This article is the first of a series based on a central theme of the Climate Reality Project training. The second will consider “homegrown climate solutions”— initiatives from government, corporations and communities that have positioned Minnesota to become a national leader in mitigating climate change. Erickson is also author of a book, “Paper or Plastic?: Energy, Environment, and Consumerism in Sweden and America.”

City parks, trails slated for $1 million overhaul in 2020

BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — The total parks improvement bill for 2020 comes to $1.1 million.

Next year, the city will spend $325,000 redeveloping Hallam Park and $10,000 to resurface the basketball court at Pheasant Run Park with funds from the equipment building replacement fund.

The city will use $700,000 in grant monies for the Birchwood Road portion of the Lake Links Trail; $50,000 in park funds for a trail connection in Southwest Park in conjunction with the installation of Aaron's Playground and $20,000 from the general fund for miscellaneous improvements.

Public Works Director Bob Goebel and City Engineer John Sachi presented the list of upcoming improvements for the city’s parks, roads and drainage basins at the Nov. 4 City Council meeting.

“Next year will be a very busy year,” Goebel said before listing the parks projects.

Every year, the city conducts a public hearing on its five-year capital improvement plan (CIP). Though city staff presented areas scheduled for improvement and discussed the improvement budget, no official action will be taken until the Truth and Taxation public hearing scheduled for Dec. 3 when council formally approves the budget for the upcoming year.

The slate of 2020-24 improvements resulted from an Oct. 15 joint meeting between council and the Finance Commission.

In 2021, the city will replace the playground at Wedgewood Park. That and other improvements for that year will come to $170,000.

In 2022, Wedgewood Drive trail improvements and other improvements will cost $90,000, and in 2023 miscellaneous improvements will cost $40,000. In 2024, the city will replace the playground in the Echo Lake area for $90,000.

The total parks capital improvement expenditures from 2020 through 2024 will amount to $1.5 million.

All the playgrounds throughout the city were built at about the same time, Goebel said. Therefore, the city will take a bite out of their overhaul each year. “The playgrounds have reached the end of useful life, so it’s time to replace them,” he said.

Next year also looks to be a very busy year for infra-

structure improvements: $9.4 million will be spent on Historic District Phase IV (west portion), Dahlia Street improvements, Glenmar area diversion project, Birchwood and Lost Lake Court improvement project, Bevins/Bichner/Talahi street and utility improvements, storm sewer pond maintenance and drainage project and the sanitary sewer maintenance program.

Funds for these projects will come from various enterprise funds, bonding efforts, special assessments, state aid and other forms of government aid from entities such as Washington County and Rice Creek Watershed District.

As part of the storm sewer pond maintenance and drainage project, the city will spend $380,000 to improve some of the ponds identified in 2018 for improvement, as well as other ponds that have been causing issues during the wet years of 2018 and 2019. Some of the original pond improvements will now be put off until 2022.

Ponds that will be dredged in 2020 include Pond 145, adjacent to East Avenue by St. Andrew's, and Pond 71 on Long Lake Road, south and east of the public works garage. Backyard drainage issues will be corrected at 1150 Park Ave. and at 1446 Harmony Drive. A small pumping station will be built at the northeast corner of Pond 106, south of Robert Street between Edith Avenue and Florence Avenue, to control the water levels.

Eighty percent of the capital improvement plan has to do with stormwater, Councilman Steve Wolgamot said.

“Part of which is geography with a lot of low places, and it is raining so much.” Many homes in the city have been built on wetlands, he noted. “It's a shame to have to spend all that money on something that isn’t a physical improvement. But homes are threatened.”

For 2021, the city will spend $1.9 million to redevelop the Historic District Phase IV (east portion, including Rose Street, Spruce Street, East Shore Avenue and Quail Street) with 2020 bonded funds. In 2022, the city will continue the CSAH 12 Improvement Project Phase II (East Avenue to Hilton Trail) and the pavement management street projects for a cost of $1.9 million, using enterprise fund dollars and mutual aid dollars. No projects are scheduled for 2023, but in 2024 the city will spend $3.7 million on designated 2024 street improvements, the TH 120/Century Avenue turnback project, storm sewer pond maintenance/drainage projects and the painting of Water Tower #1 (behind the high school).

The 2024 projects will be financed through enterprise funds and two general obligation improvement bonds.

The total capital improvement plan expenditures from 2020 through 2024 will amount to almost $17 million.

A long-range calendar of areas that will be under construction throughout Mahtomedi for the next four years is available on the city website, ci.mahtomedi.mn.us.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — City Council conducted the following business at its Nov. 4 meeting: • Hired Steve Schumacher as city forester for the upcoming year at a cost of $24,300 with funds from the parks and streets operating budget. The city forester conducts a tree disease prevention program and performs general forestry-related work.

• Hired a paid, on-call fi refi ghter/EMT for the fi re department, contingent on the successful completion of the required psychological and physical evaluations and a background check. Fire Chief Terry Fischer said the department hired the new employee due to a retirement. The total number of employees now stands at 22. As a licensed full-time ambulance service, the department would like to have a larger staff. However, many interested candidates drop out due to the long hours, Fischer said.

• Formally accepted $175 in donations from P. Barrett and the Deer Ridge Townhouse Association. Mahtomedi is a statute city and generally authorized to accept gifts of real and personal property, according to Minnesota Statutes 412.211.

• Approved the 2019-2020 cooperative services agreement with the Mahtomedi Youth Hockey Association, Yard Works and Mahtomedi School District No. 832 for the use, maintenance, utilities, services and costs of the outdoor rinks at 55 Briarwood Ave. As in years past, the city will contribute $12,000 using funds from the Parks Department budget.

The council next meets at 7 p.m. Nov. 19 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

Impact person: Anderson tallied record 66 goals for Bears

BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Kayla Anderson celebrated with Anna Racine after scoring against Mahtomedi this season.

649738

Kayla Anderson, who finished her White Bear Lake soccer career last month as the Bears all-time leading scorer, makes a strong impression in other phases of life, as well.

Dave Ashley, Bears co-coach along with John Dierkhising, can’t say enough about the star forward’s influence and involvement — her relentless work ethic, “contagious passion” for the game, field leadership, academic prowess (3.9 gpa), and service to others, including mission trips (to Detroit’s inner city, and Haiti), Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Leadership Academy and church groups, and volunteer coaching.

“Talk about making an impact,” he said.

Her impact on the soccer field is well-known — 66 career goals, tops in Bears history, with 64 of those in the last three years, helping the Bears post a 37-12-1 record.

Anderson made all-conference and the coaches all-state team each of the last three seasons. She will sign this week with South Dakota State, following two former teammates into Division I, Claire Odmark (Wisconsin) and Erika Townley (Drake).

About her knack for scoring, Anderson assessed: “I’ve always worked hard, and I get good passes from my teammates. I’ve got some speed and I’m pretty good technically, with my foot skills.”

Her first two varsity goals came in ninth grade.

Then she peppered the nets for 18 her sophomore year, when Odmark led the team with 22 goals. The Bears were 14-3 and won the Suburban East Conference.

They got upset by Mounds View in the section semifinals in a shootout.

Odmark was injured early in her senior season, 2018, which probably cost the Bears’ a state tournament trip, and finished as the Bears’ then record-holder with 58 career goals.

“Kayla began her career as more of a playmaker, helping her older friend and teammate, Claire Odmark,” Ashley said. “In response (to the injury), Kayla switched gears and focused more on scoring, and the results were extraordinary.”

Anderson tallied 21 goals her junior year as the Bears went 11-5-1, led by her and Townley. This season, with opponents geared to stopping her, Anderson pumped in 25 goals and led the Bears to a 12-4 record.

They lost in the section semifinals to East Ridge for the second straight year.

About her final game as a Bear, she said: “I cried, because I hate to lose, but when I walked off the field, what I really felt was so much gratitude, for everything I got from White Bear Lake soccer.”

Ashley describes the 5-8, 135-pound athlete as an “extremely creative and dynamic attacker with outstanding technical skills” — adept at turning her back to pressure, dribbling through tight spaces, scoring from anywhere in the attacking half.

Deceptive, quick, and strong, with her motor always racing, she’s a powerful ball striker who “can score with either foot, or in the air with her head,” Ashley said. Not surprisingly, she relishes one-on-one duels.

Asked about career highlights, Anderson said, “Beating Mahtomedi. We beat them three of my four years.” Anderson tallied both goals in this year’s 2-1 win over the Zephyrs, who were on their way to their third consecutive state Class A title.

Anderson has also played varsity basketball since 10th grade and is starting her senior season this week. But soccer has been number one since third grade. Two brothers also play: Micah, a junior on the Bear varsity, and Caleb, an eighth-grader. Parents are Ben and Janelle.

“Soccer is just so much fun,” Anderson said. “You get to work very hard, for a very long time, with people you love. And if you can get a game-winning goal, that’s great, too.”

Mahtomedi swimmers advance to state Zephyr swimmers edged out tough competition in the Section 4A Finals on Saturday night to secure a trip to the State Swimming and Diving Tournament. Qualifying events include the 200 medley relay team of Lauren Anderson, Ryann Buttke, Skylar Gillow Clowser, and Adriel Showers (1:56:19). Gillow Clowser also qualified for state in the 500 free and set a new school record time (5:18:43) during prelims. Rounding off the state squad are alternates Emmerson Buckley, Ella Matson, Sydney Armstrong, and Clare Fritsch.

The team's depth and strong showing in the relays and individual events sparked the Zephyrs to second place in Section 4A. According to head coach Mike Goldman, the team notched 48 personal best times during the competition. The young team is comprised mostly of underclassmen, with just two seniors on the roster.

Emme Nelson drilled the first three goals of the game for Mahtomedi — two in the first period and another at 4:02 of the second period. Assisting on her goals were Erika Broten, Emma Dornseif (two) and Ellie Donovan.

The Bears were still down 3-0 with a minute left in the second period but got back in the game with power play goals seven seconds apart, after two penalties on Mahtomedi. Skylar Johnson scored 5-on-3 (Kaylee Kloos

with a nine-yard run.

Johnny DeVore hit eight of 18 passes for 121 yards with one intercepted. Tyler Tangwall caught five for 97 yards. The Zephyrs netted just 48 yards on the ground, counting three quarterback sacks for minus 26. Hull had 59 yards in eight carries.

Tyler Tangwall missed most of the Mahtomedi football regular season with a shoulder injury but returned for the last five games and was a key player in their three wins for the section championship.

The 6-foot, 183-pound wide receiver caught the go-ahead touchdown pass in a 15-12 win over Minneapolis Washburn (from Benjamin Allen) and snagged two TD’s in the 28-27 win over Tartan (from Johnny DeVore). In all, Tangwall made 15 receptions for 238 yards in four playoff games. He had a good junior year also with 36 catches for 445 yards and four scores.

[SEQUENCES OF WAR VIOLENCE AND RELATED IMAGES, LANGUAGE AND SMOKING.] — When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, in Roland Emmerich’s riveting 138-minute film dominated by amazing special effects, the American military retaliated by bombing Tokyo in April 1942, fighting in the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942, and engaging in the Battle of Midway in which the intel provided by intelligence officer Lt. Comm. Edwin Layton (Patrick Wilson) and his code-breaking team (Brennan Brown, et al.) was vital to Admiral Chester Nimitz (Woody Harrelson) who commanded the U.S. Pacific naval fleet and the astoundingly brave, skilled, hotshot pilots (Luke Evans, Ed Skrein, et al.) during the decisive battle of June 1942, which ended up being the turning point in WWII.

“TERMINATOR: DARK FATE” (R) [VIOLENCE THROUGHOUT, LANGUAGE AND BRIEF NUDITY.] — An entertaining, freneticly-paced, violent, unpredictable 128-minute film filled with amazing special effects and dead bodies in which a computerenhanced human soldier (Mackenzie Davis) returns to the present day from 2042 to protect an unassuming Mexican factory worker (Natalia Reyes), who lives with her father (Enrique Javier Arce) and brother (Diego Boneta) in Mexico City, from an indestructible android (Gabriel Luna) that is hell bent on killing her and is assisted by a revenge-fueled, skilled terminator warrior (Linda Hamilton) and an outdated terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) living with his family (Alicia Bonilla and Manuel Pacific) in Texas.

Progress report: Lake Links Trail

7B

Safe Harbor Program succeeds in supporting at-risk youth

Lake Links Association Co-chairs Steve Wolgamot and Mike Brooks shared this update as the 2019 construction season comes to a close: • Trail elements in the northern part of Mahtomedi are completed, including connections from Maple to Neptune, an electronic-signaled crosswalk at Neptune and other trail elements in Streetcar Park and on the Burlington Northern Trail.

• The footings are in for the covered bridge near Streetcar Park in Mahtomedi. Expect to see a complete bridge yet this year.

• The design for one-third mile of curb-separated trail along Birchwood Road is essentially complete, with installation expected in spring.

• Ramsey County has hired the consultant for final design of the South Shore Boulevard elements of the trail, but construction is not likely to be completed until 2021.

• We are negotiating for the privately funded construction of a "depot" pavilion in Bellaire Park as part of a redesign of the park by White Bear Township.

• Preliminary design work is nearly complete for the route along MN 96, which is intended to include traffic calming and speed control elements and intersection enhancement. Further clarification of the extent of the public right of way is anticipated, followed by detailed discussions with landowners.

• Right-of-way commitments continue to come in from Dellwood landowners. Nearly 90% of the most favored route through Dellwood has now been promised. Discussions will continue with those whom we haven't yet had a chance to meet.

• Tours of the route are ongoing and available to anyone who would like a better understanding of the plan and progress. Email lakelinksmn@ gmail.com to set up a tour.

The next Lake Links meeting will be 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11, at the Mahtomedi District Education Center, 1520 Mahtomedi Ave. in Mahtomedi. Washington County planner Emily Jorgensen will speak about public input the county has been collecting and its vision for a countywide bicycle and pedestrian plan. We'll also have updates on Lake Links Trail progress. All are welcome. See the Lake Links website or email lakelinksmn@gmail.com for more information.

Meanwhile, Washington County would like to hear your thoughts on its bike and pedestrian plan. County officials and a consulting fi rm will use information gathered from the public to create a blueprint for bike route development. They will build off of the existing network of trails, paved shoulders, and sidewalks and create new portions of trails where there are gaps. Add your thoughts, concerns and ideas to the interactive map the county is using to gather citizen input.

An evaluation of the state’s Safe Harbor Program has found that most at-risk and sexually exploited youth in the program reported feeling more hopeful and better prepared for the future.

Wilder Research completed its third evaluation of Minnesota’s Safe Harbor program, a multiagency statewide initiative designed to meet the needs of sex-trafficked and exploited young people through age 24 using a public health, public safety, human services and human rights approach. Program funds allow agencies and grantees to provide supportive services, housing and shelter, and to deliver training, coordinate across disciplines, and conduct outreach.

Between April 2017 and March 2019, Safe Harbor grantees served 1,279 youth and young adults, including 977 new clients. The last evaluation published in November 2017 found that from April 2015 to June 2017, Safe Harbor grantees provided services to 1,423 people.

“It’s encouraging to see the positive impact of Minnesota’s Safe Harbor approach as we all work to address the serious problem of sexual exploitation,” Minnesota Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm said. “Our public health model is focused on giving young people the tools they need — housing, education and support from trusted adults — to rebuild their lives after sex trafficking. We need to build on this success and make sure we reach all exploited youth where they are at in their schools and communities.”

The average age of participants served under Safe Harbor was 17. A slightly higher percentage of youth served were in greater Minnesota (54%) compared to the metro area (46%). Most participants were female (91%), while 6% identified as male and 3% as transgender, gen-

der-nonconforming and other. More than half (59%) of participants were people of color.

The evaluation showed 97% of youth interviewees noted a positive change after accessing Safe Harbor services, and 88% noted a positive change in their situation. Almost all (94%) respondents felt more hopeful after receiving services, and 100% felt more prepared to reach educational goals. In addition, 94% said they would seek help from police if they felt unsafe, while 89% felt more prepared to support themselves financially in a safe way.

The evaluation also found that Safe Harbor could be even more effective by decreasing service and training gaps and addressing systemic challenges.

Additional needs include housing, mental health, long-term services, rural services, culturally specific services and services for victims/survivors over age 24.

“No young person should have to face the trauma of sexual exploitation,” said Human Services Commissioner Jodi Harpstead. “It’s up to us to make sure the right supports are in place to help them as they recover so they can go on to lead full, healthy lives. This evaluation shows that the right interventions make all of the difference.”

If you or someone you know is sexually exploited or taken advantage of, help is available. Visit the Safe Harbor Minnesota webpage. You may also call the Day One Hotline at 1-866-223-1111.

Ryan Family Art grants foster creativity nate in a “gallery walk” night for parents to see and for students to explain their artwork.

“Making Art fun for a diverse group of learners!” – Teacher Theresa Stender, Otter Lake Elementary. This project will enhance art curriculum and instruction by learning techniques of being able to sit and participate in a group activity for special education students on the autism spectrum while expanding student’s interest in being able to explore new projects with various art activities.

“Color My World” – Teachers Pam Winkler, Karla Harding, Alyssa Larson and Christina Hayden, Matoska International. Currently students are involved in a six-week unit of inquiry that focuses on color and how it impacts and expresses emotion. These four teachers are currently working with the White Bear Center for the Arts to come up with choices for students to utilize their skills in their projects (painting materials, colorful paints, colorful paper and glue or colorful recycled material). The teachers have then scheduled a trip this winter to the White Bear Center for the Arts for a guided tour and an hour to work on their projects.

“Theater Production – Jungle Book Jr.” – Teachers Allison Theissen, Susan Fick, Steven Hawkin-

son, Taylor Nelson and David Nestrud, Birch Lake Elementary. Birch Lake has an opportunity to partner with the Hanifl Performing Arts Center and Children’s Performing Arts again this year. Being part of a theatrical productions builds self-confidence, improves memory and focus, sparks imagination, teaches empathy and is fun. The play this year will be “The Jungle Book Jr.” As witnessed last year, children will improve many areas of literacy including, but not limited to: increased fluency, increased vocabulary, and speaking and listening skills.

“The Art of Step” –- Teachers Kyra Scanlan Duzynski, Ashley Peterson, Kim Jeske-Walfoort, Matoska International. Matoska has collaborated with the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts since 2015.

The residency was led by professional teaching artist Sean Burns, who focused on teaching students the art of stepping. This opportunity will enhance the art curriculum and instruction by allowing students to express themselves and explore their identity through rhythm and movement. The project will enable third graders to continue working with Burns this year to teach 10 lessons to the children.

The White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation (WBLAEF) recently awarded six Ryan Family Art grants to Elementary School teachers in the White Bear Lake Area School District, totaling $5,519.

The following Ryan Family Art grants were awarded: “Kind Hearted Kids” – Teacher Erika Jagiella, Otter Lake Elementary. This project will allow students in special education to be given an opportunity to be involved in a project using clay combined with an act of kindness. This art project will go hand in hand with the school’s social and emotional learning curriculum and spread an act of kindness through art.

“I’ve got talent” – Teachers Alison Davies, Kelly Coorough, Shannon Fulton, Kelly Bock, Matoska International. This project will conceptualize the central idea that people use art to express feelings, points of view and to connect with the world around them.

Progressive mini-lessons are designed for students to experiment with the elements and principles of art in a variety of visual mediums. This year students will be asked to create a three-dimensional work based on historical artists or art movements. This year the project is to be expanded to include Ojibwa Bags to enhance Native American connections. The project will culmi-

Ceramics 1 students from White Bear Lake Area High School – South Campus recently learned Raku firing at White Bear Center for the Arts. These pieces are samples of their work.

Raku firing at White Bear Center for the Arts Recently, Ceramics 1 students from White Bear Lake Area High School – South Campus participated in their annual fall field trip hosted by White Bear Center for the Arts (WBCA). The students created their fi rst pottery wheel projects at school and brought the bowls to be fi red at WBCA. The method of fi ring used is called Raku, a modified version of a Japanese style of low-fi re pottery.

During the process, the pieces are removed from the kiln at its hottest temperature (1,900 degrees Fahrenheit) and placed into a chamber, covered with combustible material (paper) and let to cool in a reduction atmosphere. This causes beautiful reactions in the glaze colors. The students also had an opportunity to learn and experience labyrinths, learn about ceramics from the Mata Ortiz area of Mexico and learn about Guatemalan textiles.

The White Bear Lions Club has provided a brand new dictionary for each third grader. The White Bear Lions have purchased these books and have presented them to the third grade students in all of the public and private schools in the White Bear Lake Area Schools district. The dictionaries will become the property of the students, theirs to own and take with them. The White Bear Lions purchase the dictionaries from a nonprofit organization called “The Dictionary Project” located in Charleston, South Carolina. The Lions Club has made this an annual project for the last 19 years.

In February, the White Bear Lions will be providing a Thesaurus for each fi fth grade student in all of the public and private schools in the district.

Students raise $32,000 Mahtomedi Middle School students raised more than $32,000 for their school this year. The money will be used to update classroom furniture, provide additional teaching materials for teachers and bring in educational and fun programs for students. The fundraiser concluded with a party to celebrate the students’ efforts that included inflatable games and time to have fun and hang out with friends during the school day.

Key Club students and Kiwanis recently teamed together and gave out pumpkins for donations of any kind in a White Bear Lake Township neighborhood. Kiwanis then generously offered to give Key Club the proceeds of $400. Kiwanis members recently celebrated and presented the money to the club to fund future projects. One example of a project they completed this year was making Homeless Care Packages to distribute to people in need around the Twin Cities. Last year, the South Campus Ambassadors group changed its name and became an official Key Club. Key Club International, founded in 1925, is the oldest service program for high school students. Key Club is a student-led organization whose goal is to encourage leadership through serving others. Stillwater Kiwanis serves as their sponsors.

Financial aid 101 Ramsey County Library – Shoreview will hold an informational seminar by Century College on post-secondary financial aid from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Nov. 17. The first half of the program will answer questions about scholarships, FAFSA and more as it explores the different financial aid options available to college students. The second half is a time for interested attendees to stay and begin working on scholarships or the FAFSA. Laptops will be available.

Canadian park named after Willernie author

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

When Willernie Mayor B.K. Parent fi rst began writing her young adult book series, she happened to visit the Canadian municipality of Neebing, just across the border from Grand Portage.

She liked the word Neebing and used it as a word for a mysterious creature in her fi rst book “Journey's Middle,” where she brought her imaginary land of Sommerhjem (Norwegian for summer house) to life. She later learned Neebing means summer in Ojibwe.

When a Grand Marais resident read her book, she informed officials in Neebing that they were named in the book. Parent and Neebing residents soon got together and the municipality began to incorporate her books into their tourism efforts.

This year, Neebing named the park next to its municipal offices “Journey's Middle Park.” The name is appropriate not just because of the book, but because the municipality is between Thunder Bay and the U.S. border, Parent noted. Through a grant, a wagon was also dedicated at the park last month. The main character in the book drove a homewagon, a caravan home on wheels, Parent explained. She helped build the wagon this summer.

The municipality of Neebing has a population of 2,000 and is essentially five townships under one umbrella. The area has several unnamed parks that may take on the names of book characters in the future, Parent said. One of the municipality's parks is named in memory of Alf Olsen, and Parent incorporated his name into her most recent book.

She has now written six books in her series and is working on a seventh.

“I keep saying I am done, but I am not,” she said. “I've got one started but I don't know where it is going to go.”

Parent, who began writing her series in 2012, won the 2018 Minnesota Library Foundation Author Project contest in the young adult fiction category. She is a retired school psychologist. She

DNR denies petition to ban lead ammo, tackle Environmental and conservation groups petitioned the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) earlier this fall requesting the agency initiate rulemaking to ban lead. The petition asked three things: • Ban possession and use of lead or other toxic fishing tackle on Minnesota waters located within the common loon range; • Prohibit taking of wild animals within Minnesota while possessing or using bullets containing lead or other toxic materials; and • Prohibit taking of wild animals within Minnesota with shotshells other than those loaded with steel shot, copper-plated shot, nickel-plated shot, zinc-plated steel shot or shot made of other nontoxic materials approved by the director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

After careful consideration of the petition and review of more than 20 years of data and stakeholder input related to this subject, the DNR issued a decision Nov. 4 denying the petition.

The DNR based its decision on multiple factors, which are detailed in a Decision and Findings of Fact document available at mndnr.gov/hunting/ammo/ nts.html. These factors included limitations in the DNR’s rulemaking authority, the petition’s lack of data concerning the impact of the proposed rule, the lack of demonstrated broad stakeholder support and the DNR’s conclusion that potential restrictions on the use of lead ammunition and tackle should be considered by the Minnesota Legislature.

Consistent with the approach taken in most other states that have imposed restrictions on lead ammunition and tackle, the DNR believes the use of lead ammunition and tackle is best addressed by the Minnesota Legislature. A decision of this magnitude must involve engagement with the full range of stakeholders that could be affected by the decision.

While the DNR has denied the petition for rulemaking, the agency believes the human health and environmental impacts of lead ammunition and tackle do warrant further study and discussion. The DNR is committed to working with the petitioners, legislators, tribal governments, hunters and anglers to facilitate a more inclusive conversation on the possibility of future restrictions on the use of lead and other toxic ammunition and tackle.
