WHITE BEAR LAKE — A group recovery facility one resident referred to as another Hazelden lost round one in its quest to change city code. Lotus Recovery would like to operate a 16-bed residential treatment center for chemically dependent individuals at the property located at 3561 White Bear Ave. City ordinance currently allows fewer than seven individuals in a group home. A representative for Lotus, Ryan Eckdahl, told City Council that there is a “social impact” on not providing this service in light of the opioid epidemic and that the city “should want its citizens to have help to succeed.” The agency has founded or launched eight residential treatment centers, Eckdahl said. Its clientele are voluntary residents who must qualify for treatment and have no sexual

Martial artist by day, pie baker by night Ben Neumann is a unique combination of professional baker and professional mixed martial artist (MMA). As his website intro declares, "put the two together and you have possibly the most intimidating moniker in the fight game: 'Ben The Baker Neumann.'" Not. The White Bear baker is kidding, of course. He enters the MMA fight cage wearing his baker's hat and

carrying a rolling pin. "Other guys call themselves the 'Axe Murderer' or something crazy. I'm the baker; not intimidating at all," Neumann joked. Not that names matter. The unintimidating baker is among Minnesota's top 10 MMA fighters. When he's not fighting, Neumann, 33, is doing two things: teaching martial arts at Warrior's Cove in Little Canada and baking pies out of his garage-turned-commercial-bakery.

Majority of Birchwood wishes to switch school districts BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

The survey says a majority of Birchwood residents would like to leave the White Bear Lake Area Schools district in favor of Mahtomedi Public Schools. The survey was completed this fall in response to White Bear's $326 million bond referendum, which passed earlier this month. Of those who took the survey, 60 indicated they would like to be part of the Mahtomedi district and 18 would prefer to stay in the White Bear district. Three respondents were neutral. The main reason residents cited why they would like to be part of the Mahtomedi district is because of its academic quality and location to the city. Also highly cited was that residents thought their home values would be higher in Mahtomedi and they would like to be able to vote in Mahtomedi district matters. Some residents also would like their children to

attend Mahtomedi schools. For those who wished to stay in the White Bear district, a significant number cited that their children already attend there, they wish to vote in White Bear district matters, and they prefer the lower taxes in the White Bear district. In Birchwood, 49 students currently open enroll in Mahtomedi Public Schools. There are 40 that attend White Bear Lake Area Schools. According to the survey, the 2017 tax rate in Mahtomedi was 0.254 and 0.230 in White Bear. The Birchwood City Council has not yet decided whether it CITY OF BIRCHWOOD | SUBMITTED will attempt to actually leave the In a survey conducted this fall, a majority of Birchwood residistrict or not, according to City dents indicated they would prefer to be part of the MahtomeAdministrator-Clerk Tobin Lay. di district instead of White Bear Lake. Even if the City Council made the request official, both district boards would have to agree to the change.

Weather tidbits

Nutcracker lead

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake. Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.

Megan Van Ostrand, a sophomore at White Bear Lake Area High School – North Campus, landed the lead role as the Sugar Plum Fairy in the 29th Annual Stillwater Nutcracker. She has been dancing with the St. Croix Ballet for 12 years and is dancing in her 11th Nutcracker. The Cavalier is Will Kratz, also with St. Croix Ballet. The ballet company performs six shows Thanksgiving weekend, Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, at Stillwater Area High School. Van Ostrand will perform the lead role in three performances. The family friendly production is a holiday tradition. For tickets, go to stcroixballet.com.

WEATHER TIDBIT We ﬁnally broke our streak of 18 days of below normal temperatures on Friday, November 15 that dated back to October 27. During this time we saw temperatures fall to as much as 23º colder than normal. Imagine that in January. During our cold snap large area lakes had ice over much of the surface weeks earlier than normally would. My station dipped to as low as 1º on November 12. If you told me you dropped below 0º, I’d believe you. It was a nice rebound weekend when Saturday topped 46º. For now we’re setting our sights on next week and Thanksgiving and hoping the skies stay dry as we all head out on the roads. Safe travels in advance.

Being thankful

t always amazes me to witness volunteers in action. While attending a funeral in Marine on St. Croix this past week, I stumbled upon a dozen volunteers organizing a meal after the service. Some volunteers were making sure the tables were just right, others were prepping the food in the kitchen, another was carefully placing ﬂower arrangements. This is happening at churches all around us. I’ve heard a story of a man who drives an older woman to and from her job roughly 10 miles each way. He’s able to do it because he works from home. This past summer, a friend of ours was diagnosed with cancer. A group put together a plan to help out with meals, house cleaning and yard work so the family didn’t have to worry Publisher’s about it for the several weeks he was receiving treatment. Another story View is a local guy who loaned a car to a single mom in need of temporary, Carter Johnson reliable transportation. It is stories like these that should remind all of us to be thankful, whether we are on the receiving end or have the ability and resources to help others. As we look around our communities I am awestruck by the extent of what local churches and organizations are doing – providing prayers, food, clothing and resources for people in need. I have toured local food shelves and been humbled that many of the people picking up food are no different than my family. They need a boost, and often it’s temporary. All of us, really, are a job change, illness, or tragedy away from needing help in some way. This Thanksgiving season, consider helping your neighbors. Maybe ask your church or local food shelf how you can volunteer. Service clubs like the Lions and Rotary Clubs give back on a regular basis. Local business owner Bill Foussard is co-founder of Thanksgiving Meals on Wheels. He’s always looking for help delivering prepacked turkey dinners to those in need Thanksgiving morning. If you’re interested, simply show up at 7 a.m. at Cretin Derham Hall High School, 550 South Albert St. in St. Paul. Two people minimum is required per car, and deliveries are usually done by 11 a.m. Our family has done it and it is an experience to remember. If you don’t have the time to commit to volunteering, these groups and organizations equally appreciate donations of money. Shop with purpose To keep our local businesses alive and healthy, it’s more important than ever to keep our spending local. This holiday season, buy from local retailers and locally owned businesses. When we spend outside of the area, we lose out on supporting local jobs, local taxes and local infrastructure. Look through the paper for great deals from local retailers and remember small business Saturday is Nov. 30.

Subscribers finalists Many thanks go out to the supporters and voluntary subscribers of the paper. As we wind down our fall voluntary subscription campaign, we will list our five finalists in next week’s paper. The winner will receive a gift card of their choice to a local business. The staff here at Press Publications is thankful for the community support, especially since the paper is free to anyone who wants it. Your support helps keep the news and information flowing into the community. A few weeks ago, a friend was joking with me by saying he was glad we don’t need farmers anymore because we have grocery stores. He then gave the analogy that we don’t need newspapers because we have the internet. Just like we need farmers to produce the food to stock the shelves at our grocery stores, we need journalists to spend time in meetings, conduct interviews and to write stories about the local things that matter to you. Thank you again for reading our newspapers, both online and in print. Our goal, as always, is to be your best source of community news and information.

Know what you’re getting when it comes to furnace repair

all is the ideal time of year to have your furnace serviced, but the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota warns homeowners to beware of contractors who use scare tactics to convince people into authorizing unnecessary repairs. While most Movers & furnace Shakers companies are reputable, Better Business competent and fair, others may Bureau falsely tell you that your furnace needs to be repaired or replaced when in reality it does not. They may try to frighten you with warnings that your system is leaking dangerous gases that could explode or poison those inside the house.

The most important ﬁ rst step is to remain calm. Before you authorize any work, get a second opinion from another reputable ﬁ rm to see if the work really needs to be done. Do not hesitate to contact your utility company and ask for a serviceman to come and inspect your system. Once you decide that work needs to be done on your present system or you need a new system, be certain to hire a contractor with a good reputation for dependable, reasonably priced work. Ask friends, neighbors and colleagues for recommendations, and check Better Business Bureau’s website for reviews, ratings and free quotes. Get at least two estimates on the repairs that need to be done. All bids should be in writing and should provide a full description of the services to be provided and the materials to be used. Compare more than just cost. Check the

size and rated efﬁciency of the equipment each contractor recommends and ask each contractor how they arrived at recommending a particular sized system. Be sure to check the warranty on your system to see whether any repairs or replacements are covered. Remember that many heating systems come with longterm warranties. Also, if you are told that your furnace needs to be replaced because it is too small, think back to the last time it failed to properly heat your house. When purchasing a furnace, you should choose a unit large enough to handle the demands of your household. Do not waste money on a furnace that is larger than you need.

Homegrown climate solutions for clean energy economy SECOND IN A SERIES BY RITA ERICKSON SPECIAL TO THE PRESS

At the recent Climate Reality Project training weekend in Minneapolis, Al Gore declared that the only way to change policies in time to solve the climate crisis is through grassroots pressure and initiatives. He added that “some damage has been made inevitable, but we still have time to avoid the worst.” Minnesota’s “homegrown” solutions are the choices made by local governments, corporations and communities that have positioned the state in the forefront of cutting emissions to combat climate change. Minnesota has become a leader in wind and solar energy development. Over two-thirds of the world’s people live in countries where solar and wind are the least-costly sources of electricity. Historically, Minnesota has been reliant on high-emissions coal, but solar and wind-generated power will soon be significantly cheaper than fossil-fuel electricity here as well. Such localized energy sources are vital, since fully 30% of a utility bill reflects the cost of transmitting energy long distances to end users. The number of community solar projects, where customers purchase credits from a central solar source, is greater in Minnesota than in any other state. And solar installations have recently exploded—growing 20 times as fast in the past three years as in the past 40. More

than 100 community solar gardens were established in 2018 alone. The price of solar energy in Minnesota has declined by 34% over the last five years. Most Minnesota solar farms have commercial or industrial customers, as well as residential subscribers. Panels now appear on the roofs of retail, manufacturing and public works buildings. Wind energy echoes the dynamics of solar: burgeoning capacity and shrinking cost. Minnesota ranks third in the nation in wind-generated electricity, its capacity having increased by 27% over the last six years. Wind is currently the cheapest source of electricity generation in Minnesota. Its cost declined by 16% in 2018 alone. Renewable fuels now generate 25% of MN’s electricity—an objective achieved seven years earlier than the original target date of 2025. Gov. Tim Walz reiterated the statewide goal of obtaining 100% of its electricity from renewables by 2050, and Mayors Jacob Frey (Minneapolis) and Melvin Carter (St. Paul) reported even more ambitious targets for their city operations. The Paris Climate Accord of 2016 asks signer-nations to level off greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible and to become carbon-neutral no later than the second half of this century. In this agreement, the U.S. (the world’s largest emitter, historically) committed to reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions by 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025. Gore praised its achievements in cutting emissions as another “success story” for Minnesota. The state’s total

emissions are now 12% lower than in 2005, and power sector emissions have dropped by 34% since then. Current goals are to reduce overall emissions to 30% below 2005 levels by 2025, and 80% by 2050. J. Drake Hamilton (Science Policy Director for MN’s Fresh Energy organization) reported that Xcel Energy is the first company in the nation, to commit to zero-carbon energy (use of renewable fuels) exclusively by 2050. Xcel buys more wind power than any other utility in the nation and aims to triple its solar capacity and to reduce emissions 80% by 2030. Major Minnesota companies such as Target, Ecolab, General Mills and Cargill have begun transitioning to renewable fuels to power their operations. Thomas Friedman, New York Times columnist and St. Louis Park native who spoke at the training, praised such corporate and utility decisions. He argued that America would only become weaker by ignoring the climate crisis: “The most powerful economy will be the cleanest, greenest and most healthy.” Rita Erickson, PhD, is a White Bear Lake native now living in Scandia. This article is the second in a series based on a central theme of the Climate Reality Project training. The third will address “Agriculture and Climate: Challenges and Solutions.” Erickson is also author of a book, “Paper or Plastic?: Energy, Environment, and Consumerism in Sweden and America.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Boat ban concerns Thank you for writing an article on how residents find East Goose Lake beautiful. In the article, Ms. Tanner of the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) was quoted that a two-year boating ban would be sufficient, but the VLAWMO Board Memo to the city of White Bear Lake states a different story. Dated August 28, 2019, VLAWMO does propose a three-year boating ban but beyond 2022, VLAWMO also states that there are three possible options. They are: 1. No motorized boating 2. Re-evaluate based on monitoring data collected to determine if motorized boating should be allowed to resume with trolling motors ≤ 10 HP 3. Motorized boating allowed with trolling motors ≤ 10 HP As a resident of the lake, the concern is that the recreational use of our beautiful lake will be permanently restricted. A restriction of a 10 HP motor will not allow us to use the lake

as we currently do with our families. As Ms. Carpenter was quoted, we care about the lake and we are committed to cleaning the lake up, but this ban on boating is unprecedented. The following link is the VLAWMO Board Memo to the city: http://www. vlawmo.org/files/1115/6831/6192/ Goose_Lake_Recomendation_WBL.pdf Hannah Gartzke White Bear Lake

Attention Mahtomedi residents Please link to the city of Mahtomedi website if you would like to be added to the organics pickup. We need about 20 more residents to get it going. Please read the city's announcement and sign up. "As part of the new five-year recycling contract with Waste Management, we are offering residents the opportunity to opt in and sign up for curbside weekly yard waste and organics collection.” The city must have a minimum of 100

residents sign up in order for the collection service to begin. The cost of the weekly collection service for 2019 is $13.75/month and will be billed on your quarterly utility bill. Please select the link below to sign up and once the city receives notice of a minimum of 100 residents to commit to the service, you will be contacted with further details.

Refreshing to see objective series on climate I want to thank Press Publications for carrying the climate series by White Bear native Dr. Rita Erickson. It is refreshing to see an objective, science-based approach to informing folks about the current realities and potential consequences of a warming climate. I welcome all readers who are

interested in getting more involved on a local level to check out northeastmetroclimateaction.com. We are a community group with members in Vadnais Heights, White Bear Lake, North Oaks and Shoreview. Our mission is raising awareness and outreach in our communities, as well as acting directly to reduce carbon emissions in our communities (maybe you saw our picture planting trees in the Oct. 31 Spotted Around Town page). We have outreach events scheduled for November and December listed on our website. Climate scientists and sustainability leaders agree that the most impactful action individuals can take now to combat climate change is to talk about it with anyone who will listen. This series will be a great way to bring the reality we are facing to our communities. I am really looking forward to Dr. Erickson's next article regarding homegrown climate solutions and how Minnesota is a national leader in climate solutions. Steven Jorissen Vadnais Heights

Man sent to prison for gang-related crimes

A Vadnais Heights man was recently sentenced by the federal court to about 18 years in prison. Hakeem Malik Dontae Flax, 33, was charged by federal authorities two years ago for allegedly being involved in gang-related and drug-related crimes, including discharging a firearm that killed a member of a rival gang. He was arrested after a violent gang war in Minneapolis that resulted in shooting deaths of multiple gang members, according to jail records and the U.S. Attorney's Office. Flax was convicted of firearm violations, heroin distribution and conspiracy in February. A second-degree murder charge was dropped.

Bus station planning will commence with $1 million grant BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The city wants the U.S. transportation department to know it's committed to the Rush Line project. In a letter to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Mayor Jo Emerson supported a Ramsey County request for Rush Line funding to begin an advanced station planning process. The mayor sent the letter on behalf of the city to “support the FTA pilot program for a Transit-Oriented Development Planning grant application.” The transit administration is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation in Washington, D.C. Ramsey County is seeking $1,250,000 in funding from FTA to support station area planning along the Rush Line bus

rapid transit corridor, which stretches 14 miles from St. Paul to White Bear Lake. If successful, “small area plans” would be prepared within one-half mile of stations along the corridor, including Buerkle Road, County Road E, Cedar Avenue, the Marina Triangle and downtown White Bear Lake. The city of White Bear Lake “commits to working with the Metropolitan Council, Metro Transit, Ramsey County and other municipalities along the bus rapid transit corridor on the Rush Line Advanced Station Area Plans,” Emerson wrote in last week's letter. Staff was prepared to ask City Council Nov. 12 for approval of an in-kind $25,000 contribution toward the planning process but withdrew the resolution. The amount was equal to staff time over the 18-month planning process.

The county was requesting that corridor communities provide in-kind contributions through dedication of staff time, but informed City Manager Ellen Hiniker earlier in the day that the county would fund the entire $312,500 match. Transit-oriented planners will examine ways to enhance economic development and ridership, foster multimodal connectivity and accessibility, improve transit access for pedestrian and bicycle traffic and identify infrastructure needs in and around the station areas. In a memo included in the council packet, Community Development Director Anne Kane said it's important for the city to remain engaged in the station planning process moving forward, “to ensure the city's desired vision, scale and types of development are reflected in the final plan along the corridor within White Bear Lake.”

Hiniker said the mayor's letter supporting the grant emphasizes the importance of comprehensive station area planning. “We will certainly continue to participate in the planning process, but do not want to be held to a time-contribution expectation,” she said. The City Council will yet have opportunity to vote on the entire project. “At this time, Ramsey County has indicated it will be spring of 2021, after completion of the Environmental Assessment Phase,” Hiniker said. “Originally, the county was going to pass it on to the Metropolitan Council after 15% engineering but is going to step it through 25% engineering so it can remain more closely engaged in the planning process. The FTA grant funds will enhance this phase, if the county is successful in getting the grant.”

WHITE BEAR LAKE POLICE REPORTS The White Bear Lake Police Department reported the following incidents: • It was reported Nov. 7 that a vacant home in the 1800 block of Elm Street was stripped of copper and metal heat registers, plus numerous tools were stolen from the garage. The loss was about $15,400. • A work van was entered overnight Nov. 8 in a driveway in the 1300 block of Hedman Way and many tools were stolen. • Officers responded to the 3600 block of Kenny Lane on a domestic disturbance Nov. 8.

TREATMENT: 16 beds too many FROM PAGE 1A

offenses. There is 24-hour supervision. Staff was OK with the proposed change, with conditions, but the Planning Commission recommended denial of the request, citing size of the facility as a primary reason. City Council members agreed, 3-1, that 16 beds is too many. “If Lotus comes back with nine, I would consider it,” noted Councilman Dan Jones at the Nov. 12 meeting, “but what you're describing doesn't belong here with that number. I won't support 16.” The property was vacated in 2017 by Northeast Residence when its adult extended-day facility relocated to County Road E. The nonprofit still owns the home. Executive Director Heidi Holste reminded council that concerns raised by the Planning Commission were the exact same ones raised when Northeast Residence went before the council 30 years ago. She noted that residents seemed to have a lot of opinions but preferred to hear from experts who know the (chemical dependency) business. Holste added that the immense house can easily accommodate 16 people. The six-bedroom, five-bath home would be remodeled if Lotus buys it: four additional bedrooms, four offices and a second kitchen would be constructed. A few people have viewed the property, but it's been tough to market. “There haven't been a lot of lookers,”

Holste said. “It's perfect for a mission-driven organization; it's perfect for this purpose.” A recovering addict also spoke on behalf of Lotus. Carlton Johnson was “one of the gentlemen in a group home. “Recovery changed my life,” he said. “I was in a similar facility. It was like a family. We all had the same desire to live. Once we combatted addiction, things got brighter for us. I'm a productive member of society now and I can't extend my gratitude enough. I would be lost without recovery.” Neighbors opposed to the project voiced their concerns at the podium and in writing. Mostly the issue is location. One Jerry Street resident wrote that White Bear Lake is a “poor alternative selection” for another Hazelden, pointing out that the White Bear Lake location adjoins a shopping center on a noisy intersection. “You are doing patients a grave injustice by placing them in a location like this for rehabilitation,” he said. City staff was supportive of the project. “The police department had no concerns and intensity did not have an impact on external land use from our standpoint,” noted City Manager Ellen Hiniker. Councilman Kevin Edberg asked what the largest comparable facility in the city is. “Active would probably be six,” replied Community Development Director Anne Kane. Asked if there is another zone where this size facility would work, Kane said there

The treatment center would have been located in this house owned by Northeast Residence.

are a couple. One is a previous medical facility zoned commercial on Bellaire Avenue, and another is the former St. Pius convent. “My struggle is, I want White Bear Lake to be welcoming of this type of facility,” admitted Bill Walsh. A sober house is a few doors down from him and “they are great neighbors,” he said. “Sixteen might be an issue. The type of person, I have no concerns about that. We should look for opportunities like this in our city.” Walsh was the lone “nay” vote to deny the text amendment. Councilman Doug Biehn was absent. Jones, too, said it wasn't what was happening in the house that bothers him, but the number. “I'm a child of a

recovering alcoholic. I wish this type of service were more often available. Do I want 17 people (16 plus staff) living next to me? Absolutely not.” Lotus Recovery is a for-profit company with more than 20 years of experience with the chemically dependent population. As for other facilities this size, Eckdahl said they only have a 16-person outpatient facility in St. Paul. After the vote, Mayor Jo Emerson said the city needs to consider: What is the right number? “We need to be better prepared to address this,” she observed. “This is not going to go away.” She thanked speakers for their comments, adding, “This was a tough decision for this council.”

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES

Expect longer drive if vehicle ticketed, towed WHITE BEAR LAKE — If your car gets towed this winter, it could be a 15-mile drive to the impound lot. The city's contracted tow company, Twin Cities Towing, which merged with Vadnais Towing in 2018, doesn't have enough local storage space for ticketed vehicles that impede snowplow progress. In fact, the space crunch has impacted the number of citations issued. An amended ordinance would allow law enforcement to be more aggressive SUBMITTED when it comes to policing parking rules, said City Manager Ellen Hiniker. The amendment would allow the tow company to take vehicles beyond city limits to a maximum of 15 miles from the police station. Current city code limits towed vehicles to one lot in the city, the Vadnais impound on Bald Eagle Avenue. “The police department has been more proactive the last few years with ticketing, but our ability to tow is limited by lot size,” Hiniker explained to City Council Nov. 12. Councilman Dan Jones said he's “thrilled” to see the amendment, especially after riding with a snowplow driver last winter. He would rather eliminate the local impound lot, however, so everyone has to drive the same distance to retrieve their vehicle. Mayor Jo Emerson prefers to leave the amended ordinance as written. “If it appears to be a recordbreaking year of towing, we can always come back and change it,” she said. There is another revision, too. Vehicles towed during a snow event will be released directly by Twin Cities Towing, so people don't have to first stop at the Police Station. Council approved the first reading. The ordinance returns for a second reading and final approval Nov. 26. Public comment will be taken. Debra Neutkens

WHITE BEAR LAKE — City Council conducted the following business at its Nov. 12 meeting: • Approved Bruggeman Builders' request for a variance to construct a triplex at 2687 County Road D. The parcel is narrow, 100 feet wide, and requires a 5-foot variance from the 15foot side yard setback requirement. It is zoned medium-density residential. Residents living in the Hidden Lake Pointe Townhomes east of the parcel raised compatibility concerns, claiming the triplex would reduce home values and ruin their view. The developer, Paul Bruggeman, disagreed, telling council the density of his site is less than the Hidden Lake Pointe neighborhood, which was built with many more variances. He doesn't think his rental townhomes will have a negative impact on property values. He added that if the triplex weren't approved, he would be allowed to build a multistory apartment unit. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance, noting that change is hard. Commissioners also mentioned that the townhome association could have approached the previous owner to acquire the property to preserve the woods and views. Hidden Lake Pointe resident Gary Schulz said the townhome association didn't have the $250,000-plus in its budget to purchase the property. “I don't see why that was even suggested,” he added. Schulz told council the parcel is too small to develop and pleaded with members not to grant the variance. The variance was approved 3-1, with Steve Engstran opposed. Councilman Doug Biehn was absent. • Approved a request by Mike Belz for a recombination subdivision and four variances. Belz plans to split his lot at 2105 First St. to create a new residential lot. Variances were needed for lot size and width. Council also approved Belz' request to rezone the property from B-4 general business to R-4, single- or two-family residential. The single-family residence was constructed late 1800s and is surrounded by commercial property on the north and west. His intention is to unify the two lots.

• Approved a request by the Lightfoot and Larrive families for a recombination subdivision. A 4,200-square-foot piece of land will be conveyed from 4701 Bald Eagle Ave. to 1985 Birch Lake Ave. • Approved fi rst reading of an ordinance to amend the sign code. Drive-thru signs would be allowed to utilize dynamic display. • Approved fi rst reading of 2020 annual fee and utility rate schedule. Among the changes, a $75 investigation fee for massage licenses; currently at $25. Increases are also proposed for ambulance service, 3%; Pioneer Manor, 1.5%; ice rental at the Sports Center, and hikes in utility rates and refuse. Final numbers will be approved at the annual budget meeting Dec. 10. • Approved special event request by White Bear Lake Youth Hockey Association for exclusive use of Podvin Park Jan. 10-12. The event is a fundraiser for young players called Outdoor Hockey Jamboree. • Approved construction of a food scraps recycling dumpster at Public Works. The facility was chosen as the preferred site for organic waste due to its central location. An enclosure will be constructed in the northwest corner and will be accessible 24/7. Ramsey County will cover construction cost, weekly collections, signage and compostable bags. Organic waste is transported to commercial composting facilities, where it is converted into a compost that can be used as a soil amendment. • Accepted donation of a 1994 25-foot pontoon to help service the city marina. The boat will be added to the Public Works fleet, which consists of the SS Minnow and a 14-foot fl at-bottom boat. • Approved resolution canvassing election results. In accordance with Minnesota statutes, the City Council serves as the canvassing board for municipal elections. The resolution declared Bill Walsh, Dan Jones and Steven Engstran as council members-elect. • Received a reminder that Nov. 26 is the Truth in Taxation hearing. Debra Neutkens

PIE GUY: Take and bake pies ready for Thanksgiving FROM PAGE 1A

Pie is his specialty. “It’s hard to find a good pie the way my grandma used to make when I was growing up. I finally took matters into my own hands and began baking about a decade ago,” Neumann said. He has little appetite for store pies, criticizing the shortening-laden, mechanically pressed crusts. After years of tweaking, Neumann feels he has perfected his crust, made with 100% butter and always baked in a heavy glass pie plate. It was during a deployment to Iraq as a National Guard soldier that Neumann started reading books about baking and watching the reality show Cake Wars. The idea of becoming a baker intrigued him. He makes the occasional wedding cake for friends but prefers pies, regular size or mini. Neumann enjoys both part-time jobs about the same — teaching martial arts and baking. “I have a passion for both, so it’s hard to say which one I love more. It’s an odd mix of interests, I know.” His wife Hannah is supportive of his late nights in the bakery. It does mean their cars are parked outside since the pie enterprise took over their garage. The couple moved to the Otter Lake Road house about five years ago. They planted 30 fruit trees and raspberries in the backyard with plans to someday use the fruit for pie filling.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

The thaw and serve raspberry pretzel pie (above) is a top seller. Then there’s caramel pecan cheesecake (top right), key lime (right) and the mile-high apple pie.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are busy seasons for the pie guy. Orders are taken online with designated pickup times, as stated at www.benthebaker. com. Most of the pies are sold frozen to be baked at home. Some pies and cheesecakes just require thawing. There aren’t many secrets to his recipes other than quality ingredients. Neumann grinds all the spices fresh before adding and uses unsalted butter. There will be a few pies for sale at the bakery, 4522 Otter Lake Road, that are not preordered but it’s better to reserve online. There’s also a special; buy one,

get a second for $10 off. Look for the yard sign. The mile-high apple pie, baked with 3 pounds of granny smith apples, is one of his best sellers. It’s not his grandma’s recipe though. Neumann found his own “to share the joy of homemade pie the same way my grandma shared that joy with me.”

DNR reminder: Avoid early ice As ice forms on Minnesota lakes, outdoor enthusiasts may be tempted to get out before ice is thick enough to support foot traffic. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) conservation officers have a message — stay off the ice until at least 4 inches of new, clear ice is present. Even then, no ice is 100% safe. The DNR advises checking ice thickness every 150 feet. Ice is seldom the same thickness over a single body of water. It can be 2 feet thick in one place and 1 inch thick a few yards away.

Soft hands, quick feet: Bears’ Miss Dependable BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

As White Bear Lake’s volleyball coach has worked to build up a struggling program since taking over in 2017, one foot-soldier he’s always been able to depend upon is his setter, Savannah Shea. “Her dedication to the program never ceased to amaze me,” Mike Alexander said. “Any coach would be happy to to have a player like ‘Sav’ to build a program around.” Shea finished her four-year tenure with 1,091 assists, including a career-high 560 this year. Her finale came when the Bears lost a five-game match to St. Paul Central on Oct. 22 in Section 4AAA. Win or lose, Shea said it’s been a blast. “I have always loved playing for the school team. Even if the record doesn’t always show it, it’s a great time being with my teammates. Home games are especially fun, even if there’s just a small student rooting section to support you. It’s so nice to hear them shouting 'Go Bears! and Go Sav!'” For a decade before Alexander took over, the Bears averaged about four wins per year. In Shea’s four seasons, they’ve gone 7-22, 9-19, 6-20, and 8-16, the last three under Alexander. “I think every year we have been getting a little better,” Shea said. “We play in a super hard conference, and that’s where we have a lot of our losses. Outside the conference we do a lot better.” Alexander cites Shea for “incredible drive and work ethic” along with the speed and agility needed to “beat the ball to the spot” where she’ll be in best position to make the set. Asked what it takes to be a good setter — to consis-

tently loft a feather-soft ball right where one of the big girls can best smack it into the floorboards — she assessed: “Well, definitely you need soft hands. And quick feet. And knowing who your hottest hitters are, which changes during the game. And tons of hustle, because you’re always running across the court.” Shea notched her 1,000th at Stillwater on Oct. 8, with Kendra Gustafson making the kill on that one. She did not get the ovation and recognition most athletes are accorded when they reach such a milestone. At home, the action would be stopped and an announcement made. This was on the road, where there’s usually at least an announcement. “But their P.A. system was broken,” said Shea. So, not even an announcement. However, her team knew. “We had a time out. They hugged me and said congratulations and that they were proud of me and I was so deserving,” Shea related. “My coach told me this had not been done (at White Bear Lake) for a long time.” Also, a friend hoisted a sign emblazoned with “1,000 assists, Sav Shea.” Her main hitters this year were senior Maddie Andacht and sophomore Sammie Steffens. Previously the hitter who got the most kills from Shea was Courtney Moy. Meanwhile, the serve-receiver who starts the play by getting the ball to the setter was usually senior libero Isabella Battocletti. The 5-foot-5 Shea has been a setter since she started in sixth grade, except for one season as a libero on her Junior Olympics team, and a brief stint at DS (defensive specialist) with the Bears her sophomore year. She plays around the dial, never leaving the court, and made over 100 digs this year.

BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Savannah Shea delivered 1,091 assists in four years as the Bears’ setter.

Her favorite individual matches were the career-ending loss to St. Paul Central “because we played so well” and a five-game win over Chicago Lakes her sophomore season because it ended a long losing streak. A year-round volleyballer, Shea will continue with her club team, Sybergy, based in Champlin, this winter, and hopes to land on a college team.

Great opportunity: Ex-Zephyr grad assistant for Florida State BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Sam Newman intends to be a basketball coach, like his father, and the Mahtomedi graduate has landed what you’d call a plum job to start his career. Fresh out of college, Newman is a graduate assistant at Florida State University (FSU), in the nation’s top college league, the Atlantic Coach Conference. He got the job after working FSU camps. “Getting the opportunity to work in the ACC is a dream come true,” said Newman, who was an all-conference guard averaging 10.5 points his senior year at Mahtomedi, and played football in college. “Especially at FSU, which is a top-20 program year in and year out. Being able to learn under the FSU staff is the opportunity of a lifetime.” Newman calls it “awesome” to serve under Seminole head coach Leonard Hamilton, who has a 337-217 record in his 18th season, leading the Seminoles to seven NCAA berths, two Sweet 16 appearances and one Elite Eight, and the program’s lone ACC title (2012). He’s been ACC coach of the year twice. “He truly would run through a wall for

his players,” Newman said. “He works as hard as any coach in the country to try to get that edge.” Newman is a 2015 graduate of Mahtomedi High School, where his father Keith is the basketball coach. He played guard on a 19-10 team that reached section finals his senior year when the Zephyrs were in Class 4A. He was a football wide receiver and cornerback. Newman played football for two season at Bethel University before concussions finished his playing days. He graduated this year with a degree in marketing. During college, he got into coaching basketball on his dad’s staff at Mahtomedi, as a volunteer assistant at all levels the first year, then as freshman boys coach and varsity assistant the second year. This summer, he coached the varsity at the Pacesetter Sweet 16 tournament. Newman heard about the Florida State opening from a fellow Bethel alum, Andy Birdsong, who had been a graduate assistant at FSU for a year before leaving to take a front office position with the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets. Birdsong advised Newman to reach out to FSU and try to fill that opening by helping out at their camps, which is

where they evaluate candidates for graduate assistant. “Ultimately, I went down to Tallahassee for two and a half weeks,” Newman said, “and worked as hard as I could at their team camps and individual camps, to try to receive an offer.” The Seminole staff must have liked what they saw, as they offered him the job as one of six graduate assistants in the program. His tasks vary from day to day at Florida State, which has won two of its first three games. “Being a high-level program, there is a ton of work to do to continue to have that leg up on your competitors,” said Newman, who also attends graduate school, “so I just look for ways to plug in and help in any way possible. This may mean rebounding for a player, or helping make a recruiting visit go as smoothly as possible, wherever I am needed.” Newman will have a two-year tenure at FSU and plans to use that experience as a springboard. “Whether that is in the NBA or college, I want to continue to follow my passion,” he said.

Defining student agency

SUBMITTED

Veterans demonstrated how to fold a flag at Normandy Park Education Center on Veterans Day.

Honoring veterans Students throughout the White Bear district honored those who have served and are serving our country on Veterans Day. Early childhood students and community members celebrated at a Veterans Day program where community members could enjoy coffee and donuts, learn about services for veterans and their families and participate in a flag ceremony and patriotic singalong. Early childhood students and community members who are a part of the Ukulele Bears group had fun singing together in a melodic blend. Central Middle School students honored veterans at their annual assembly. The seventh grade band played the National Anthem to start the assembly. Then, the students learned from veteran Barry Henriksen about the history of Veterans Day and what it means to serve our country. Henriksen showed the students pictures of service in Iraq. At the end of the assembly, the Central winners of the Patriot’s Pen Essay Contest were announced: Miriya Nguyen, Ashley Fisher and Lily Konetchy took home the honors. These students will move on to the district level contest.

Students, staff and a community member recently came together for important conversations about the definition of student agency (personalized learning). Each participant played an important part in sharing what this means in alignment with the district’s strategic plan. During this opportunity, they were able to participate in a collective learning experience to understand others’ definitions of student agency and discuss why it is important to the future of education throughout the district. After defining and discussing what student agency meant to each person, there was an opportunity to understand the exciting next steps in the future of learning in White Bear Lake Area Schools.

Students perform in college honor bands Several Mahtomedi High School students participated in college honor bands this month. In the University of Minnesota-Duluth Honor Band were juniors Claire Brings, Alicia Goeser and Sam Dahl and seniors Lucas Olsen, Evan Christensen and Liana Hull. In the Gustavus Adolphus College Honor Band were juniors Samuel Kalkman, Kali Nevilles, Finnian Falvey and Rahul Nath, and seniors Joseph Becker and Grant Parker. In the Winona State University Honor Jazz Band were sophomore Peter Olsen, juniors Samuel Kalkman and Grant Teuber, and senior Grant Parker.

Teacher of the Year nominations open The White Bear Lake Teachers Association's Teacher of the Year program is one way to recognize the efforts of those who devote their time, talents and energy to making a positive difference in the community. Consider nominating an educator who will represent all of the dedicated teachers in the district. Find the form

Eight Mahtomedi choir students were selected for the All-State Honor Choir. More than 1,000 ninth and tenth grade students from across the state auditioned for 409 spots in three different choirs. Singing soprano 1 in the SATB choir will be Cassie Kasper and Claire Wendland. Singing in the SSAA choir will be soprano 2 Natalie Pietig, Alto 1 Eleanor Anderson and Elisabeth MacChesney, and alto 2 Mackenna Buckley. Participating in the TBB choir will be tenor Jordan Rollinger and bass Ben Brach. Twenty students from White Bear Lake Area High School — North Campus auditioned for the Minnesota 9-10 Honor Choir and 11 were selected. These 11 singers will get to rehearse and perform with the strongest singers in Minnesota in February.

Frassati Catholic Academy receives grants Frassati Catholic Academy received two grants from the Catholic United Financial Foundation. The technology grant will be used to purchase sewing machines to teach students in fifth through eighth how to sew. Students will be sewing 40 pillowcases to give to families in transition at Solid Ground. The second grant will be used to purchase Ascension Press curriculum called “Theology of the Body for Teens; Discovering God’s Plan for Love and Life.” This curriculum will be used with middle school students to encourage a growth mindset and teach the Catholic faith.

Be a 2019 holiday angel The Holiday Angels Program, a special fundraising initiative for the White Bear Lake Area Education Foundation (WBLAEF) Angel Fund, is now in full swing through Jan. 1. The WBLAEF receives Angel Fund requests for winter coats, boots, hats and mittens, backpacks, school supplies, basic food and clothing needs, and even temporary housing, to name just a few. Whether the need is the result of a job loss, unexpected extraordinary medical expenses, a home fire or any number of situations, the need exists and increases each year. You can make a tax-deductible financial donation to the Angel Fund. Designate your donation in honor of a “Holiday Angel” in your life—a special loved one, teacher, coach, mentor or neighbor. To donate, complete the Holiday Angels form at www.wblaef.org/the-angelfund and either send by mail with your donation or donate directly online. The WBLAEF will then send a special handwritten Angel Fund card to the honored person stating that you have chosen to honor them during this holiday season with a gift to the WBLAEF Angel Fund. Last year, more than $7,000 was raised to help families who are on the verge of homelessness, and provide them with food, eye wear, prescriptions and needed clothing.

‘Schoolhouse Rock Live!’ coming The Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math, science and politics through fun songs is coming to the Mahtomedi High School Theater at 7 p.m. Nov. 21, 22 and 23. Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher nervous about his first day of teaching, tries to relax by watching TV when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music.

Choosing a Christmas tree Christmas trees are often the centerpiece of holiday decor and provide a home for festively wrapped gifts. If you opt for a real tree this year, buy as fresh as possible, make a straight cut in the bottom of the trunk before placing in its stand, and keep it hydrated and away from a heat source.

White Pine This beautifully shaped Christmas tree features lacy blue green needles, 2-4 inches long, that are soft to the touch. It gives off a delightful pine scent and keeps its needles well.

Balsam Fir Truly a superb Christmas tree. Its distinctive 1/2- to 1 ½-inch long dark green needles are soft to the touch. The aroma is uniquely fragrant. Its layered branches can support a variety of ornaments.

Norway Pine Minnesota’s State tree is the regal Norway pine. Its dark green needles, 3”5” in length, create a full and pleasing shape. The stout branches can hold many decorations. It keeps its needles well.

White Spruce Sometimes called the “old fashioned” Christmas tree because of its beautiful symmetrical shape, its short needles ﬁll every branch with dense foliage. It makes an ideal table-top tree as well as a full-sized tree.

Fraser Fir ~ From your friends at Lakeshore Family Dentistry

Dr. Scott Kron and Dr. Jason Ross, along with their staff, value honesty, integrity and teamwork. We are a patient driven practice. Lakeshore has been investing in cutting-edge technology and constant training to keep the team current to provide patients with the most up-to-date care.

Some consumers may feel that these are just numbers on a page. But in certain instances, such as when consumers attempt to buy a home, a credit score can have a dramatic effect on a personâ€™s monthly budget. When borrowing to buy a home, borrowers with desirable credit scores may be eligible for considerably lower interest rates than borrowers whose scores fall into the â€œVery poorâ€? or â€œFairâ€? range. Over the length of a standard, 30year, ďŹ xed-rate mortgage, a low interest rate can save borrowers tens of thousands of dollars in interest fees.

in interest fees, ExperianTM notes that borrowers with subpar credit scores may have to do even more to earn the trust of lenders. Borrowers whose scores fall into the â€œVery poorâ€? range may be required to pay a fee or make a deposit when opening a new credit account, and some might not be approved for credit at all. Borrowers whose scores fall into the â€œFairâ€? may be classiďŹ ed by lenders as subprime borrowers, making it hard for them to open new credit accounts or secure loans without a cosigner.

BUS GARAGE

WW ossible by II v generou sn et s urp eighbors P AG rise d b E 14A yh is l on ge

The bus garage currently located near White Bear Lake Area High School North Campus will likely move to Hugo to make room for the one-campus high school expansion. The school board approved a purchase agreement with a property owner in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park at its Nov. 12 meeting. Details of the agreement were not released from the closed meeting. The 7-acre site is located off Fenway Boulevard, near the intersection of Fenway Boulevard Circle, according to Washington County Property records. Its 2019 value was listed as $648,700. The land is owned by Nordling Property, located in White Bear Lake. The location, size, accessibility and cost was what the district was looking for, according to Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak. The relocation of the bus garage will make room for the unified high school expansion. At the same meeting, the board also approved a purchase agreement with a homeowner near North Campus. During the bond referendum planning earlier this year, the district had expressed interest in buying about 20 houses near North Campus if homeowners are interested in selling. One property owner recently approached the district with a proposal. The 0.22-acre property is located at 4957 Division Ave., between Central Middle School and North Campus, according to Ramsey County property records. Its 2019 estimated market value was $132,600.
