Yoga Day proclamation

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

A Cerenity Senior Care resident hit a rare milestone Nov. 17. She turned 108.

Mary LaValle was well aware of her big day, too, reminding visitors it was her birthday and holding their hand.

"I can't believe I'm 108," she whispered while waiting for the birthday formalities to end so she could have a piece of cake.

At a century-plus, the timeless LaValle has trouble seeing and hearing, but her sense of smell works fine, apparent by her sniffing of the pink corsage brought by her granddaughter, Carin Cunningham.

Pink is Mary's favorite color, noted Cunningham, who visits her grandmother in White Bear Lake at least three times a week.

Because she can't hear, communication with LaValle is difficult, so Cunningham served as her spokesperson, providing some history on her grandparents. They go back a long way in the area, having owned a vegetable farm in White Bear Township on land that is now Tamarack Nature Center.

Mary was born Nov. 17, 1908 in Shakopee to Joseph and Magdelena Kostuch, who immigrated from Germany in 1890. From Shakopee, the couple and their 11 children moved to White Bear Lake. Mary was a teenager when she met Raymond LaValle of Centerville, and married him in 1926 at the age of 18. They had one son, Leonard LaValle, who died in 2007 at the age of 80.

July sunshine brings November evaporation

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Lake water is vanishing into thin air.

Even in November when it's least expected, a couple inches of water is evaporating off White Bear Lake.

That's the surprising summation thus far of evaporation studies underway by University of Minnesota scientists, including Paul Bolstad, a White Bear Lake resident and professor of environmental science.

Bolstad volunteered to collect the data when three climate stations were installed in 2014 to help sort out reasons for fluctuating lake levels. He provided an update on the research Nov. 15 to the White Bear Lake Conservation District.

"We know that sunlight drives evaporation, as does wind, temperature and humidity," Bolstad said. "The

“IF WE PLEASE YOU, TELL OTHERS. IF NOT, TELL US.”

warmer the temperature, the more active the evaporation."

The equipment is almost magical, he told the board. "It can measure wind speed and humidity 60 times per second. At the end of the day, we can count how many molecules of water went up and how many came down. Every half hour we get an estimate of how much water enters or leaves the lake."

In 2014, there were big jumps in evaporation rate over short time periods, Bolstad said. The peak is in July. The lake lost 4 inches of water off the surface in July and 2 to 3 inches in October and November.

"It's much higher than most people would expect," he noted. The same thing happened in 2015.

"Again, evaporation ramps up to the highest rate in July and stays on through fall. It doesn't matter that it's a lot cooler in October," Bolstad pointed out.

BUSINESS BRIEFS facilities will bring a much needed self-storage product to the community and we are excited to introduce our unique platform to the Twin Cities.”

Max Holmes, associate with Colliers International, added: “The Twin Cities has a few areas that are underserved for self-storage and properly zoned sites are rare. These properties were unique in that the sub-markets were underserved and both were properly zoned for storage.

Wasatch recognized and seized the opportunity.” Holmes represented Wasatch Storage Partners in the purchases.

Predatory offenders to be regulated in Mahtomedi

BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — Between 2006 and 2016, more than 36 Minnesota cities adopted ordinances establishing residency restrictions for predatory offenders, according to a Nov. 2 memo from Mahtomedi Assistant City Attorney Bridget Nason.

At its Nov. 15 meeting, Mahtomedi joined those other cities after the City Council voted 4-0 (Councilman Timothy Deans was absent) to amend Chapter 9 of the City Code by adding section 9.06 regulating predatory offenders.

Time will tell whether the ordinance will stand up, City Attorney Jay Karlovich cautioned the council. “There is ambiguity in state statute,” he said.

The Legislature has the power to override a city ordinance and place control of where a Level III offender may live in the hands of a state agency, Karlovich noted. An example of an agency that could legally pre-empt city ordinance and allow a predatory offender to live in Mahtomedi would be the Department of Corrections or the Department of Human Rights.

“You're doing the best you can with a bad situation,” Karlovich told council members.

More and more cities are passing ordinances to keep Level III predatory offenders away from parks, schools and day care facilities. There are studies that say ordinances won't help, but others say ordinances do actually help, Karlovich said.

At its Dec. 1, 2015 meeting, council adopted an interim ordinance, effective for one year, pro-

hibiting Level III offenders from establishing a permanent or temporary residence within 2,000 feet of any school, licensed child-care facility, religious facility or public park. After a year of research on the part of city staff, followed by two work sessions, the city attorney and city planner proposed a permanent ordinance prohibiting designated predatory offenders from establishing a residence within 750 feet of schools, licensed child care centers and public parks. “A 2,000-foot buffer would block out the entire city,” Karlovich pointed out, “but the city still has the 750-foot buffer.”

The ordinance provides defi nitions of predatory offender, permanent residence, temporary residence, school, licensed child care and public park. The ordinance also defi nes how to measure the distance between the offender's residence and prohibited properties.

The ordinance also includes exceptions to the rules. An important exception that can override the city's prohibitions is that a predatory offender may live with parents, grandparents, siblings, adult children or a spouse. The city could face a lawsuit if it didn't allow an offender this exception.

“We're trying the best we can to pass a legal ordinance that allows a Level III predatory

offender to live with families, otherwise your ordinance will be struck down if challenged,” Karlovich advised council before it moved forward to pass the ordinance.

“We've hashed this through a few times,” Councilwoman Lael Ramaley said. “I don't want anyone to feel that if we have this (ordinance) in place, it doesn't make (Mahtomedi) a safe place to be. But we need to educate our children and educate the populace.”

On the other hand, Ramaley said, just because the ordinance is passed, it doesn't mean that incidents involving predatory offenders won't happen.

E WERE IN Franklin, TN for a newspaper convention in September. Franklin was established as a city in 1799 and has a great deal of Civil War history. The Nashville suburban city is in the 14th fastest growing county in the U.S. and that’s very evident with traffic jams.

In the old part of the city, Puckett’s Restaurant has been around since 1799. It is a great place for southern cooking and country music in the evenings.

If you are heading south by car this winter, and your destination is somewhere around Florida, I have another couple of restaurants that are favorites, including recent discoveries.

In the Paducah, KY area we love About the Patti’s 1880 at Grand Rivers. It is Town three miles south of I-24. It is highly rated for the two inch pork chop Gene Johnson and spinach salad with hot bacon dressing. We have enjoyed going there for 30 years.

On our recent trip to Tennessee, we found the Rare Chop House in downtown Mount Vernon, IL in what looked to be an old warehouse building.

If timing allows, the Firefly Grill in Effingham, IL serves delicious food in a very contemporary atmosphere. This one wasn’t recommended by the motel; we found it wandering around the city.

I PICKED UP a little handout recently that points to our tongue which reveals the true feelings of our heart. Test yourself based on Psalm 141:3: “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.”

Harsh words……….Angry heart Negative words……….Fearful heart Talk a lot……….Unsettled heart Critical words……….Bitter heart Filthy words……….Impure heart Boasting words……….Insecure heart Encouraging words……….Happy heart Gentle words……….Tender heart Kind words……….Loving heart Truthful speech……….Honest heart SEASONS ARE QUICKLY changing, Thanksgiving is before us and in a short while it will be Christmas. Snow is usually with us by Thanksgiving, winter sports are in full gear, and with all the moisture that has been cycling this summer, we could have a heavy snowfall this winter. Four-wheel drive cars are ever more popular. The trends for hybrid and electric cars are coming along faster than ever.

OUR OLDEST DAUGHTER Julie and her husband Craig and family live for golf. Our granddaughter Meredith is a golf pro in Palm Desert, CA so she and her sister Lindsay went through college on golf scholarships. Their brother Blake is a scratch golfer.

Grandpa got to go to the Ryder Cup one day with them. It was probably a once in a lifetime event. I asked them for some quotes on their observation of the 41st Ryder Cup at Hazeltine at which time the U.S. regained the championship. Here’s what they had to say: “It’s the only time in sports where you can sit in front of a Jumbotron and feel like you are right in the action.”

“History was made today.”

“Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia played the highest quality of golf in the history of the Ryder Cup at a combined 17 under.”

“Once in a lifetime experience.”

“The Ryder Cup was such a positive event which proves that the Twin Cities should have a regular PGA tour event!”

“The Ryder Cup was incredibly lucky with the weather when you’re rolling the dice to host such a big event in early October!”

“It was ironic to see Bubba Watson and Tiger Woods on the course and not playing on the team.”

Have a say about local transit options

magine traveling from White Bear Lake to downtown St. Paul, while you check your email, Google search, text, or just nap. Since the fall of 2014 a group of community and civic leaders have met to analyze mass transit options along the Rush Line Corridor; a mass transit corridor that runs from the Union Depot in downtown St. Paul to downtown Forest Lake. This group’s analyMovers & sis builds upon previous analysis Shakers of this corridor.

Multiple transit Sheila Kelly options including light rail transit (LRT), Dedicated Guideway Rapid Bus (DRB) and Arterial Bus (AB), and multiple routes have been evaluated and analyzed and we are now seeking public input in determining the “Locally Preferred Alternative” (LPA). The LPA is the mass transit option and route preferred by the stake holders, including local municipalities, community groups and the public.

Through this evaluation process two options showed the greatest potential. One is Dedicated Guideway Rapid Bus (DRB). DRB uses a dedicated roadway, separate from traf-

fic, to provide frequent all day service (buses every 15 minutes) throughout the corridor. The other option is Arterial Bus (AB) which provides bus service in traffic but with fewer stops and more consistent service than standard bus service. With both options, service would run from downtown St. Paul to downtown White Bear Lake, either via the Ramsey County Railroad Right of Way (commonly called Bruce Vento Trail), changing to Highway 61 north of Interstate 694 or along White Bear Avenue. How the transit options will enter and leave White Bear Lake is still being evaluated and may include the need for a “mixed traffic” option, where the DRB buses would run with traffic on Highway 61 in downtown White Bear Lake. The proposal for transit service north of White Bear Lake to downtown Forest Lake is a circulator bus service running every 30 minutes from White Bear Lake to Forest Lake, with stops in Hugo and Forest Lake. Whether you want to shop at Maplewood Mall or the Mall of America, visit the Science Museum of Minnesota in downtown St. Paul or see a Vikings game in downtown Minneapolis all of these transit options will connect to other mass transit throughout the Twin Cities.

Now is the time to let your voice be heard and ask questions about this project. There will be open

houses where you can: 1. Learn more about the benefits and impacts of the various transit options 2. Review the proposed options and provide your input on those options 3. Ask questions about the project The open houses are on Dec. 14, 2016 from 5-7 p.m. in White Bear Lake at the White Bear Lake Area Schools District Center; on Dec. 15, 2016 from 5-7 p.m. in Maplewood at Maplewood Mall and on Dec. 6, 2016 from 6-8 p.m. in St. Paul at the Hayden Heights Recreation Center. For more information visit the Rush Line website, www.rushline.org. The comment period closes on Jan. 4, 2017.

Following the public comment period, further analysis and evaluations of the data will be made, taking into consideration the comments from the public, and a LPA will be selected for the Rush Line Corridor in the Spring of 2017.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Bring i back b k Minnesota i nice i

Thank h k you, District i i 43 3 voters

What is truly Minnesotan? Many of us would immediately reply that “Minnesota nice” is the epitome of our state culture. However, with our state only narrowly voting for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, I fi nd it is imperative to speak up for kindness, respect, and dignity of all and encourage my fellow Minnesotans to actively work for Minnesota nice to become our way of life again.

What does this Minnesota nice look like? Minnesota nice is giving someone directions when they are lost, independent of their English language abilities. It is treating someone the same no matter how they pray. It is continuing to give a cup of sugar to our neighbors, no matter what country they may have been born in.

Minnesota nice is treating women with the respect that they deserve as human beings. Minnesota nice is allowing and supporting those with disabilities to live their lives to the fullest. Minnesota nice is working for a just society where equality between races is a given. Here in Minnesota, we do not stand for bigotry, discrimination and racism. We do not and cannot stand for “alt-right” white supremacy and fearmongering. Yes, smiling at your neighbors or helping someone cross the street is great. However, it is up to all of us, no matter who you voted for, to show the rest of the country that we will treat all people with respect and dignity. Let’s show everyone what Minnesota nice really means.

Karin Hogen White Bear Lake

Thank you, voters. It is an honor to continue to represent our great area. I enjoyed meeting many of you at your home, community events and meetings. I deeply appreciate your ideas, guidance and support.

Campaigns involve many people. I thank my campaign manager, Denny Fendt, for his vision, energy and dedication. My family and friends, as always, were so helpful and enthusiastic by marching in parades, and meeting or calling voters. I also thank my two state representatives, Peter Fischer and Leon Lillie, for their positive efforts.

I am busily preparing as I look ahead to the upcoming legislative session. I will sponsor several initiatives ranging from education improvements to tax policy and water planning.

Would you like to share an idea? Please call or text me at 651-770-0283. We can discuss or meet up in person. Together, everyone accomplishes more.

Thanks again. My best to all of you on Thanksgiving and through the holiday season.

Chuck Wiger, State Senator, District 43

Thank you voters A heartfelt thank you to the voters in District 42B. I am fi lled with gratitude to all of you, to those who have come before me, and to the many volunteers who gave their time, money, and hearts to this campaign. And a huge thank you to my husband and parents for their support and to my children for always giving me a reason to move

Versatile alpacas add warmth to Victorian Christmas Sometimes those late night musings turn into the real thing. They did for Brian and Tamara Osterman, owners of Suri Serenade Alpacas.

The Stillwater couple own the small business that brings alpaca yarn and clothing to the Stillwater Farmers Market, and now the Victorian Christmas at the Historic Courthouse.

The couple and their alpaca products were part of the 24th annual Gala Fundraiser and bazaar that ran Nov. 19 and 20.

The Ostermans’ offerings are yarn and clothing made from fiber from alpacas that they own, and from U.S. alpaca cooperatives and alpacas from as far away as South America.

Brian Osterman was the one with the late-night revelation, about 10 years ago. He was thinking of starting a side business, to have in addition to his full-time day job. A latenight TV infomercial introduced him to alpacas.

An internet search of the

animals soon generated 100 pages of information, and a conviction that he had found the sideline he was seeking.

“I, of course, thought he was nuts,” Tamara Osterman said, “because you can buy a car for what an alpaca costs.”

But the couple continued their research, which brought them to an alpaca farm in Cannon Falls, not far from the home in Hastings where they lived at the time. An open house

visit during the National Alpaca Farm Days at Bluff Breeze Farm in Cannon Falls soon convinced the couple, and they bought and boarded their first alpacas.

The hope of having a hobby farm with alpacas was sidelined with a job loss, but the couple continued to own and board their alpacas. Soon, they had fleece from their animals, which Tamara sorted, with the best going to a local mini fiber mill to be made into yarn. They love the animals, enjoy wearing alpaca clothing, and believe in the virtues of the incredible warmth and softness of alpaca clothing; soon, they were looking for a way to help promote it.

That led to a booth at the Stillwater Farmers Market where the Ostermans offer yarn made from the fleece of their alpacas, along with clothing and throws made in the United States and in South America.

It is all about customer demand, Brian Osterman said. Once people saw the yarn, they began asking

for additional items made from alpaca fleece. Some of the garments and throws that the Ostermans sell are made at a fiber pool in Massachusetts which collects fleece from farms across the United States. The Ostermans contribute to the fiber mill, and receive finished items in turn. Other items come from Bolivia, Chile or Peru through a fair trade program that provides income directly to the artisans who produce the items.

Tamara Osterman has been attending the Victorian Christmas at the Historic Courthouse since the couple moved to Stillwater four years ago. “I couldn’t believe how bustling with activity” the event is, she said. When other vendors at the farmers market encouraged them to be part of the event, it seemed like a good fit for the couple and their alpaca products. Tamara has already purchased the costumes that the couple planned to wear for the event.

From press release

forward with hope.

One of the reasons I love working at the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office is that at the end of the day, our goal is not to “win” but to do justice.

As I begin my work for our district, I will strive to always be motivated by the ideals that pushed me to run for office in the fi rst place – to do justice, to strive for peace, to treat others with kindness, and to work towards a future where every person is treated with fairness and dignity.

Drainage ditch source of irritation in newly filed lawsuit MAHTOMEDI — A group of homeowners is suing the city of Mahtomedi in an effort to recover "just compensation for property unlawfully taken."

The civil suit was filed Nov. 7 by plaintiffs Josh Hague and Alyssa McNeal of Willernie; and Scott and Paula Bauer; Maurice and Celeste Campbell, Scott Barrette and Ken Durand of Mahtomedi. The homeowners all live in an area bordered by Warner Avenue South, Fernwood Place and Dartmoor Road within the city's Glenmar neighborhood.

According to the complaint, an open, surface-level stormwater drainage ditch traverses the neighborhood collecting and diverting runoff east to west. In February 2012, the city identified several roadways in the Glenmar neighborhood for a street improvement project, recog-

nizing there were maintenance issues related to the ditch. In 2013, following completion of the project to repair the ditch, the city awarded a substantial contract to Dresel Construction for road reconstruction in the neighborhood, which included work related to drainage improvements.

The plaintiffs allege that prior to the city's work on the projects, the drainage ditch operated normally. After construction was finished, the channel floods over its banks from a 1-inch or more rainfall, inundating the homeowners' properties with stormwater runoff. Soil, they contend, remains saturated long after it would otherwise dry. Water has also entered homes and structures on certain properties, alleges the complaint, resulting in standing water in

basements and causing mold issues.

The city was alerted to the issue in 2014, 2015 and 2016. In response, the complaint states, city officials made "vague assurances" that the ditch would be repaired. Despite those assurances, the homeowners say the city has made few evident efforts to repair the ditch.

Claiming the city's failure to maintain and repair the drainage channel has hurt the market value of their properties, the homeowners decided to seek compensation and other damages, including attorneys' fees and costs, for government takings for a public use.

They also want the city to commence condemnation proceedings on the properties in accordance with a statute that guarantees that no private property may be taken, destroyed or damaged for

public use without just compensation.

Attorney Andrew Pieper of Stoel Rives LLP in Minneapolis is representing the homeowners.

A September 2017 trial by jury is requested. No compensation figure was provided in the complaint.

City Attorney Jay Karlovich said the case, "in its infancy stage of litigation," has been assigned to the law firm of Iverson Reuvers Condon. The city is insured

by League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, he noted, which selected the firm to represent the city. Attorney Jason Kuboushek will be working to discover the historic and technical facts of the case over the next few months.

Vadnais council considers backyard chickens

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — The City Council discussed the possibility of allowing chickens in some residential lots at a workshop Nov. 16.

The council proposed a stricter ordinance than what the Vadnais Heights Planning Commission had approved in October. The draft ordinance approved by the commission would have allowed chickens on about 3,000 lots.

“That's a lot of chickens,” said Mayor Marc Johannsen.

The council came up with changes to the draft ordinance that would allow chickens on about 300 lots.

The council proposed allowing chickens only on lots sized 1 acre or larger. The original draft ordinance approved by the commission allowed them on all single-family residential lots in two residential zoning districts. The council also proposed not allowing chickens in one district that is made up mostly of homes situated quite close together.

Johannsen said the council has had requests from those on larger lots for chickens, but no “real requests from most people” and expressed concern about an “exponential expansion” without residents desiring it.

“I think it would be a tremendous mistake,” he added.

However, Councilman Terry Nyblom thought the council should not place restrictions due to lot size, even though he doesn't like chickens.

“I recognize my neighbors have rights to their property,” he said.

The majority of the council also proposed larger setbacks than the commission approved — 50 feet from adjacent dwellings instead of 30 feet, and 20 feet from side yard lines instead of 5 feet, and 10 feet from rear yard lines.

“I don't think I'd like a coop 30 feet from my house,” said Councilman Gerry Auge.

Mayor-elect Bob Fletcher also expressed concerns about the small setbacks in the original draft ordinance and proposed the larger setbacks.

The council did accept most of the details of the draft ordinance approved by the commission, including the number of chickens allowed, coop size, fencing or monitoring, cleanliness, and the prohibition of roosters, breeding and outdoor slaughtering.

If the proposed ordinance is approved by the council in December, five chickens will be allowed on 1-acre properties and five chickens for each additional acre of land with a maximum number of 20 chickens.

Resident and chicken owner Nick Eichinger was in attendance at the workshop and was asked by Fletcher for his knowledge on current chicken ownership in the city.

“There are people with more than 20,” he said. “I know there are some people with chickens on smaller lots.”

As it stands, some of those residents may have to get rid of their chickens if their lot isn't 1 acre or more in size.

Eichinger spoke on their behalf, even though the currently proposed ordinance would allow him to have chickens on his 5-acre lot.

“The other cities are doing it (on smaller lots) and they don't have trouble,” he said. For example, chickens are allowed in St. Paul where lots are quite close together.

The council discussed the possibility of requiring neighbor approval for smaller lots, but City Administrator Kevin Watson noted it would consume a lot of staff time receiving paperwork.

Overall, the new draft ordinance allowing chickens on 1-acre and larger lots with larger setbacks seemed like it may or may not gain the vote of the council majority.

“I can support it,” said Johannsen.

“I think this ordinance fits the bill,” said Fletcher.

Councilman Craig Johnson still wanted to add adjacent neighbor approval. Earlier in the discussion, he had said, “I don't like chickens anyway, except fried.”

“I'm not really happy with it,” Auge said. Earlier in the meeting he had noted he grew up on a farm and didn't like being around chickens, remembering they would peck at his feet. “I like to eat them,” he noted.

City Planner Nolan Wall was directed to draft a new ordinance for the council's next official meeting.

Residents can expect to receive a mailing from the city about the possible new ordinance.

“I want mailed notice to every Vadnais Heights resident about this chicken policy,” Johannsen said.

A public hearing will be held at the next council meeting at 7 p.m. Dec. 7.

BREAKTHROUGH MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY OFFERS ADVANCED PAIN RELIEF Unless you or someone you know has struggled with severe injury, chronic pain, or degenerative disease, it’s dif cult to understand the impact it can have on life.

But if you struggle with chronic pain, you know its debilitating effects. You’ve likely given up hobbies, family activities, and travel in your efforts to control pain and maintain functionality.

Unfortunately, until now, the only treatment options for these types of conditions have been surgery or addictive pain killers, which often have unwelcome side effects. But recent advances in medical technology may offer advanced, effective relief.

K-Laser, a state-of-the-art, Class IV laser therapy, has been found to penetrate tissue and initiate healing on a cellular level, even allowing some patients to return to normal, everyday activities with little to no pain.

IMAGINE A DAY WITH NO PAIN Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C., of White Bear Lake, has offered K-Laser treatments in his practice since 2016 and con rms these ndings.

“I’m thrilled with the outcome of K-Laser therapy. I’m now able to provide holistic, natural treatment for conditions that previously required invasive treatment or heavy medications with no promise of real relief.”

His patients are happy as well. Here are a few of the responses he has heard: “I can hardly express the relief I have received from one treatment.” ~retired ER nurse, 25 years of chronic lower back pain “This was dramatic pain relief! I began gardening again and using my treadmill for exercise.” ~67-year-old with debilitating knee pain “I can’t believe the difference it is making. Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you!” ~arthritic hip patient

THE SECRET IS LIGHT ENERGY K-Laser, also known as High Power Laser Therapy, targets damaged tissue with speci c wavelengths of light that have

been found to interact with tissue and accelerate the healing process.

Much like photosynthesis in plants, light energy passes through the skin, into the cell membrane, initiating a process called photobiostimulation. This process enhances the body’s natural regenerative functions, as well as stimulating the release of endorphins and collagen. It may eventually even normalize damaged or injured tissue.

The result? Accelerated wound healing, as well as reduced pain, stiffness, swelling, and spasms. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored, so patients may take their life back and resume their favorite hobbies and activities.

CONDITIONS TREATED WITH K-LASER High power laser therapy can stimulate all cell types, including soft tissue, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves. Some conditions that have been shown to respond well to K-Laser include: • Peripheral Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia • Back and Neck Pain • Sciatic Pain • Arthritis pain, Degenerative Discs/Joints • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Knee Problems • Tendinitis, Trigger Fingers • Bunion Pains, Plantar Fasciitis • Sprains and/or Strains • Bruises, Contusions, Burns • Headaches, TMJ, Sinus Trouble • Athletic Injuries • Work-Related and Auto Injuries

RESULTS MAY EVEN BE SEEN AFTER 1 TREATMENT Many patients report pain relief in as little as one treatment, and most are able to resume normal daily activities with no pain and restricted movement after their therapy is completed.

Treatments are administered by a technician, using a hand-held device the size of a ashlight. The laser is placed directly over the injured area for anywhere from 30 seconds to 9 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the treatment plan.

Steve Donohue, Asst. Athletic Trainer of the N.Y. Yankees, reports, “We use the K-Laser both on acute and chronic conditions, such as bruises, contusions and tendinitis. We ice and then use the laser, and players seem to respond quicker. It’s a hot item in the training room. The guys line up for it!”

More than 1200 studies conducted over 40 years worldwide have shown the powerful therapeutic bene ts of high power laser therapy. Findings include: • Acute Pain: diminished more than 70%, chronic pain more than 60% • Chronic Low Back Pain: treatment effective in 71% of cases; pain eliminated completely in 45% • Wounds: 55% greater healing on day 8, as compared to the placebo group • Knee Injury: improved knee exion and pressure sensitivity after every treatment

EVAPORATION: Lake storing more heat, meaning longer ice out than past years FROM PAGE 1A

The reason is heat storage in the lake.

As the sun gets lower, the lake is still warm, Bolstad explained.

Stored energy seeks to exit the water, so basically, as long as there isn't ice on the lake, it will maintain high evaporation rates.

"I bet we're losing as much water this month as we did in August or September," he said. "Rainfall or water draining from the watershed may still cause a net gain, or break even, but it's an interesting fi nding."

The length of time it takes for the lake to heat up and cool off is taking longer now than it used to, Bolstad added. "The lake is storing more heat than in the past. If it's storing heat at deeper levels, we will have longer ice-out periods as time goes on."

In 2014, researchers measured 21

inches of evaporation and in 2015, 25 inches. The rates are perfectly related to the number of ice-free days, Bolstad noted.

Calling the information "useful," data will be shared with the U.S. Geological Survey and compiled to develop models for predicting evaporation, the scientist continued. They are also looking at historic data, some provided by a weather satellite that has been circling over White Bear Lake every two weeks since 1984, to study the effect of water temperatures on ice-in dates. "We can look at trends for these variables to guess what might happen in the future," Bolstad said.

"It's clear temperature in the region is rising. We can't dump all this carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and not have an impact," he maintained. "Along with changing climate, the main thing here is changing temperature. Increased temperatures mean more heat storage in the lake, and that means it takes longer to freeze. The extension at the end of the season extends evaporation."

He told the board it would be valuable to have not just ice-out records, but ice-in. "I recommend getting those dates, too. Ice-in is more sensitive to change than ice-out."

The research is winding down.

The group has been unable to secure funding to keep it going, so

this is likely the last year of the study. He thanked the board for its support in getting the monitoring equipment and offered to keep one station going if a secure location can be found. The Department of Natural Resources owns the other two climate stations.

Noting that some northern lakes

are averaging a month longer for the ice-free period, Bolstad believes that could mean an extra 3 to 4 inches of evaporation. "Over 10 years, that's 30 inches," he said. "It could be part of the reason the lake is down and an unintended consequence of climate change."

Officer charged with manslaughter

BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

ST. PAUL — Philando Castile’s final words, as recorded by police video: “I wasn’t reaching for it.”

St. Anthony police officer Jeronimo Yanez, 28, of Vadnais Heights, has been charged with second-degree manslaughter for the fatal shooting of Philando Castile during a traffic stop in Falcon Heights July 6 and two felony counts of dangerous discharge of a firearm, endangering passengers Diamond Reynolds and her daughter.

Yanez’ first appearance in Ramsey County District Court was Nov. 18.

Judge Mark Ireland set a second court date for Dec. 19, and Yanez was released after acknowledging he would appear for future proceedings. Attorneys Earl Gray and Thomas Kelly waived a reading of the charges.

“It is my conclusion that the use of deadly force by Officer Yanez was not justified and that sufficient facts exist to prove this to be true,” said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi at a press conference Nov. 16.

Choi said squad video and audio reveal what occurred.

Yanez approached the car to address Castile’s nonfunctioning brake light and also because he thought the driver was a suspect in a recent robbery “just because of the wide-set nose.” Yanez asked for his driver’s license and proof of insurance. Castile handed over his proof of insurance first.

“Castile then, calmly and in a nonthreatening manner, informed Officer Yanez, ‘Sir, I have to tell you that I do have a firearm on me.’ Before Castile completed the sentence, officer Yanez interrupted and calmly replied, ‘Okay,’ and placed his right hand on the holster of his own holster gun,” Choi reported.

Yanez allegedly told him not to pull it out, and Castile said he was not pulling it out, which Reynolds’ confirmed. Yanez pulled his own gun and “then fired seven shots in rapid succession into the vehicle,” Choi said.

Castile’s final words were, “I wasn’t reaching for it,” Choi said. Yanez has admitted he did not know where the gun was and did not see it.

“Based on the evidence, we believe that Castile never removed nor tried to remove his handgun from his front right pocket, which was a foot deep,” Choi said. It was a 40-caliber semi-automatic handgun. There was no round in the chamber. His permit to carry was also found.

Yanez said after the incident he was scared for his life

because he could not see where Castile’s right hand was reaching, Choi said.

Choi remarked that Yanez’ statement that he never saw or knew where the gun was “inconsistent” with this statement. St. Anthony officer Joseph Kauser, who was also on scene, reported he was surprised at the shots and did not see Castile make any sudden movements. Choi concluded the use of force was not reasonable.

“I have given officer Yanez every benefit of the doubt on his use of deadly force, but I cannot allow the death of a motorist who was lawfully carrying a firearm under these facts and circumstances to go unaccounted for,” Choi stated, noting Castile was respectful and compliant. “The mere mention or presence of a firearm alone cannot justify the use of deadly force.”

Choi also stated Castile was determined by law enforcement not to be a suspect in the robbery Yanez was referring to. Yanez was first licensed as an officer four years ago.

Reynolds’ Facebook live stream of the aftermath of the shooting has sparked protests across the nation.

Laws on deadly force Choi explained the laws concerning the use of deadly force by officers.

“Under Minnesota law, the use of deadly force by a police officer is justified only when necessary to protect the officer or another from apparent death or great bodily harm,” Choi said. “In addition, the United States Supreme Court has repeatedly made it clear that police officers’ use of deadly force must be evaluated in the context of what a reasonable police officer would do in the same situation given the danger and stress of police work.”

Choi noted it must be taken into account that police officers need to react quickly to situations, but subjective fear is not justifiable.

“The use of force must be objectively reasonable and necessary given the totality of the circumstances,” he stated.

Choi explained Yanez was charged with manslaughter charges as opposed to murder charges because manslaughter charges imply negligence as opposed to intention.

The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office chose not to submit the case to a grand jury, Choi said.

“After spending the last 19 weeks immersed in the

facts and law, and thinking about what justice requires in this case, my conscience tells me it would be wrong for me to ask a grand jury to make this decision when I know in my heart what needs to be done,” Choi said.

“In order to achieve justice, we must be willing to do the right thing no matter how hard it may seem.”

The attorney’s office has been reviewing the investigation by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension since September. The attorney’s office received assistance from the U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI, Choi said.

The judge could still submit the case to a grand jury.

‘A historic decision’ It is the first time in decades a police officer has been charged with a deadly shooting.

“We see this as a historic decision,” said Glenda Hatchett, attorney for Philando Castile’s family. “This is the first time a police officer has been charged with a fatal shooting of a citizen.” Other sources have reported it has been between 16 and 36 years since an officer was charged in a similar case.

Valerie Castile, Philando’s mother, said “the family is pleased” with the decision of the attorney’s office. “It’s the beginning to a different chapter,” she added.

Hatchett said that although she wishes the charges “would have been more severe,” she also didn’t want Yanez to be overcharged, in which case he could be “found not responsible.” She also thinks the charge is consistent with Minnesota law.

The maximum sentence for the manslaughter charge is 10 years, according to the complaint from the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office.

“If I had a magic wand, I’d certainly want it to be far more,” Hatchett said. But ultimately, she was satisfied with the charges.

“We see it as an important signal to this nation,” she said. “We see this as a stake in the ground. We see this as a loud message.” Hatchett hopes the case can be a landmark for future cases in Minnesota and the nation.

“He was a son for all of us,” she said, remembering Philando in his career at a school as “Mr. Rogers with dreads.”

Hatchett said there are plans to file a civil lawsuit, but was not prepared to speak further on it.

“It is necessary for everyone to understand we want peace,” Valerie said, noting she supports protests, but not anything “outrageous.”

This 1948 photo read: “Mrs. Ray LaValle pours bunches of radishes into a homemade cleaning machine to ready them for shipping to Canada, Michigan and northern Minnesota. The vegetables flourish in the fertile peat land in the northern part of the county.”

FROM PAGE 1A

The LaValles were vegetable farmers for most of their lives, running a truck farm called “LaValle and Son.” They employed a lot of area children to pick the produce, including Gene Johnson, Press Publications publisher emeritus.

Johnson fondly remembered a childhood working in the LaValles’ radish fields. It made him value money at a young age, he said.

“Ray and Mary treated us well,” Johnson wrote years later in a White Bear Press column. “We had special sweet rolls on Fridays for breakfast when we arrived. We always got paid on Friday night.”

Many kids from White Bear worked at the Otter Lake Road farm. It was a way to earn money to buy bicycles and motor scooters, he added.

Known as the “Radish Kings” for their prize-winning produce, the couple worked hard to bring carrots, onions and radishes to local markets, Cunningham said. “Grandpa was quite the inventor and created much of the farm equipment used to clean and harvest the crops,” including a radish cleaning machine made from old bed rails.

“I remember helping grandma in the fields and watching her ‘bunch rad-

ishes,’” Cunningham recalled. “Her hands worked so fast and her bunches were always so neat.”

Her grandmother always took good care of herself, Cunningham added, watching what she ate, despite her love of cooking and entertaining. Her health has always been good, too. The only medication LaValle takes is for a thyroid condition.

“She was a wonderful cook and a crafty homemaker,” noted Cunningham, who lives in Hugo with husband Denny. “Her fried walleye, potato bread and cookies were the best. Of course, she made homemade bread. It was such a treat.”

Her grandmother taught her a lot about being a good person, wife and mother, Cunningham said. “She was very talented in crocheting, sewing and gardening, too. She always had to be busy so relaxing to her was to work on a craft project. Everything was done to perfection. Many people have one of her beautiful crocheted afghans.”

If she had to attribute traits to her grandmother’s longevity, Cunningham said hard work, exercise and eating right. “She also has strong religious beliefs. She’s a devout Catholic and still goes to Mass and says the rosary whenever she can.”

LaValle moved to Cerenity in 1993

ADOPT A FIRE HYDRANT NEAR YOU THIS WINTER – Help keep your neighborhood safe this winter by

adopting a fire hydrant near your home & keep it clear of snow build-up all season long so that it is easily visible in the event of an emergency.

DO NOT DEPOSIT SNOW IN THE STREET – Shoveling snow into public streets is prohibited by State law, please help keep our streets clear of snow snakes & snow piles during the winter.

REMINDER - PLEASE PLACE YOU GARBAGE & RECYCLING CONTAINERS IN YOUR DRIVEWAY – Garbage & recycling containers that are placed in the street run the risk of being damaged by snow from passing snowplows.

CHECK YOUR MAILBOX POST – It is a good idea to check your mailbox post before the snow flies, if it wiggles, seems weak, or you can almost push it over yourself, now is the time to repair it. Weak posts can be more susceptible to damage by such things as snow rolling off of a snowplow blade or the mailman sliding into it.

She lived in an apartment for the next 15 years, doing her own cooking and laundry. At 100, she was still mobile but using a walker.

For the record, LaValle is the oldest person ever to live at Cerenity; at least as far back as Peg Black can remember, and she’s been there 41 years.

“Yes, Mary literally takes the cake,” she said.

Calling her grandmother a kind and gentle person, Cunningham said her sense of humor is intact. “We were talking about her birthday one day and she said, “You know, I’m really old.”

That reminds Cunningham of something she hears often at Cerenity when introducing her grandmother: “I’ve never met anyone that old,” people say.

Guessing her age would be near impossible. LaValle’s skin is silky, her gray hair nicely coiffed and her posture is stick straight. We’ll attribute it to good genes and making it a habit to always wear a wide-brimmed hat.

Former high school coach succumbs to liver disease

FILE

Fred Konrath, right, was inducted into the White Bear Lake Athletic Hall of Fame October 2012 at South Campus. He was congratulated by Activities Director Tim Hermann at the half-time ceremony.

A popular football coach who took the Bears to two state championships died unexpectedly Nov. 9.

Fred Konrath, 73, was doing what he loved — golfing, hiking and enjoying life — when complications of longterm liver disease claimed his life at the family's condo in St. George, Utah.

Calling him Mr. Active, wife Jill said her husband had just played 18 holes of golf the day before he died.

Fred had lived with an autoimmune liver disease for almost 40 years, but few knew about his condition. That's the way he wanted it, she added.

A 2012 White Bear Lake Area High School Hall of Fame inductee, Fred taught and coached at the high school for about 15 years, starting in 1965. Football was the driving force in his coaching career and he was named head football coach in 1970. In 1971, the Bears were undefeated and ranked first among large schools.

They won the state championship that year and again in 1976.

A member of the ’71 team, quarterback Mike Carroll, will be giving a eulogy for his old coach. Contacted by phone prior, Carroll described Konrath as a "player's kind of coach."

"He was a tremendous motivator and leader and he was always interested in what was going on in your life," Carroll said. "One of his greatest qualities was his enthusiasm. He was always positive."

Carroll credits his high school coach for helping him go on to play college football for the University of Wisconsin.

The team was close, added Carroll, who lives in Minneapolis and works in marketing. In fact, many players

Real estate Trends Lock it in!

As part of the home buying process and if you are planning on financing your new home, at some point you will need to “lock in” your interest rate. As the market interest rates can change daily (based on economic indicators that influence interest rates). You have the option to “float” or “lock in” your rate.

By locking in your rate, you are guar-

anteed that when you close on your home, you receive the rate in which you locked. If rates go up you are protected.

If you choose to “float” you are betting on the market and hoping the rates will go down. Eventually you will lock in prior to closing. If rates go up it will affect not only your payment, but could also affect your ability to qualify!

The best thing to do is work with an agent who can help you through this process with a Mortgage Lender that can answer all your concerns. Give me a call, I am “One of a Kind in Name & Service!”

got together for a reunion in 2014 at the Konraths' home.

After food and beverages, they all attended a Bears homecoming game. "We were lucky to have him as a coach," he said.

Jill agreed that her husband was all about "a love for coaching and a love for developing young men." He was named Minnesota High School Coach of the Year in 1976 and went on to become assistant football coach at the University of Minnesota from 1980 to 1983.

After his stint at Minnesota, Fred worked for 20 years as vice president of marketing for Lutheran Brotherhood. Still, he volunteered his time as an assistant coach at White Bear. Flying was another passion. Fred owned a Piper Cherokee and taught aviation courses and contract law at the high school for 11 years. He and son Ryan would often attend the Oshkosh Air Show every summer. He also bought and restored a ’66 Corvette and loved displaying it at Marketfest, Jill said.

Fred is survived by Jill, his wife of 41 years, children Katie Konrath and Ryan (Cynthia) Konrath, sister Sue Wright, brother John (Bonnie) Konrath, Dawn and Scott Wright, many nieces and nephews and "tons of former football players, coaches and friends."

The Memorial Service is 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 26 at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, 900 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi. Visitation is one hour prior. A celebration of Fred's life will be held at Jimmy's Event Center immediately following the service.

Memorials are strongly preferred to the Fred Konrath Leadership Scholarship, given annually to one male and one female student athlete in White Bear Lake.

LOOKING BACK Week of Nov. 20 – Nov. 26, 2016 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Area Historical Society.

1916 We are known, of course, as a wasteful people, despite lectures on thrift and economy. We pay thousands of dollars every year for phosphates and nitrates, and overlook the product of nature’s laboratory that is under our noses. Leaves. Nobody knows how many tons of valuable fertilizer are wasted every year through our practice of raking the fallen foliage from lawns and parks into the street and burning them or leaving them for the D. P.W. to take them away .White Bear Camp No. 5917, M. W. of A. meets second Friday of each month at Odd Fellows Hall, Banning Avenue.

1941 Mrs. John G. Proulx, 1404 Birch Lake Avenue, advises The Press that on Monday, November 17, she gathered pansies out-of-doors and two dandelions in bloom on her lawn. Can you beat it?

Minnesota women are giving evidence they are waking up to the need for strengthening their own homes against emergencies. St. Paul Chapter of the Red Cross, for instance has more than 700 women taking training in home nursing, and between 200 and 300 additional women will start in classes after the holidays.

Last year’s fine team was the best in White Bear history as they placed second in the Suburban Conference.

A second Ace Radio and Television Store, operated by George Rivard, is now open at 521 Third Street in White Bear Lake, Rivard announced this week. The new store will specialize in the sale of used television and radio sets and will be called Ace Used T.V. Bargaining Center.

He said the new ordinance will allow the city to “selectively designate where skating endangers public safety” or causes damage to public improvement projects such as benches and gazebo steps.

Due to increasing danger and concern for public safety, the City of Dellwood, in cooperation with the White Bear Yacht Club, has prohibited sliding on the 12th hole of the yacht club just off Highway 96.

1991 The city’s new skating ordinance will take effect soon, following approval of the second reading of the amended ordinance Nov. 12 at the meeting of the White Bear Lake City Council.

Community Development Director Jim Robinson said Railroad Park Plaza will be signed “No Skateboarding” only.

2006 Chuck and Don’s Pet Food Outlet celebrated the grand opening of its new Mahtomedi store Saturday, November 18th. Located at 910 Wildwood Road, across the street from the original Mahtomedi store, the new two story building also houses the company’s corporate offices on the second floor.

White Bear Sailing School marks 60 years To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the White Bear Sailing School, local resident Jay Rendall compiled a brief history of the school, a non-profit educational organization he calls “one of the area’s best kept secrets.”

White Bear Lake has a rich history of sailing and boat building. While the iconic boat builders such as Amundson and Johnson Boat Works may no longer exist on the lakeshore, sailboat racing and sailing instruction on White Bear Lake continues.

This year, the White Bear Sailing School celebrated 60 years of teaching

youth the sport of sailing on White Bear Lake. The school, which is open to the public, offers sailing opportunities from ice out to late fall. The school has grown from an initial 25 students to about 300 per year. New students are always welcome and no experience or boat ownership is necessary to get started.

Early Beginnings A local sailor, W.G. (Bill) Graves, Jr., was the first to conduct regular sailing lessons for young sailors from White Bear Lake in the 1950s. The first year he taught 25 students who met every Saturday

morning during the summer. In 1959, Harvey Mills and Jock Irvine taught sailing lessons under contract with the White Bear Yacht Club. Doug Mills, in partnership with Jock Irvine, also taught sailing classes on White Bear Lake in 1965 and singly in 1966. At that point, the classes were no longer connected with the yacht club.

Art and Marian Johnson, both area high school teachers, became associated with the sailing school in the mid 1960s. They ran the school for many years, along with older graduates of the sailing school who returned home from college during summer. At that time, the school did not own any boats.

Students used their own sailboats, or used sailboats loaned by people on the lake, or were paired with students who had boats.

Incorporation as Non-profit The school was incorporated as a public non-profit organization in 1980. This was the start of the school’s expansion to offer more classes and racing opportunities for area youth. It also enabled the school to begin acquiring its own boats through donations and fundraising.

Waterfront Classes During most of its 60-year history, classes were held on the waterfront at the White Bear Yacht Club. Classes, high school practices, and regattas continue to be held there and are headquartered at the new Smokey Ordway Lakeside Pavilion constructed in 2013. The school’s fleet of 40 boats are kept there.

Boats Through the years, the school has taught sailing in 16-foot X boats, originally designed for youth in 1932

by Johnson Boat Works. In the 1990s, the school added Optimist Dinghies, built by Johnson Boat Works, to its

fleet. These 8-foot dinghies are used world-wide to teach younger sailors to sail and race. Another class of boat, the Club 420, was added to the fleet in 2007.

It offered the opportunity to initiate a high school sailing program for our local schools to compete in the district, state and national high school sailing.

Sailors from the White Bear area have been state champions in recent years.

WBBS today Since 2010, Nick Hovland has been the waterfront director.

He provides oversight of classes and currently coaches the high school teams from Mahtomedi, Mounds Park, Mounds View, St. Paul Academy, Visitation School, and White Bear Lake.

WBSS now has a fleet of 40 sailboats and coaching boats that are used for instruction and high school racing. The instructors are US Sailing certified.

Information about the school is available at http://whitebearsailingschool. com Past success Several past student and instructors from the school have gone on to be sailing coaches at other sailing schools and yacht clubs. Andy Johnson has coached at the intercollegiate sailing team at the University of Hawaii since the early 1990s. Mark Dunsworth, the current WBSS President, coached at several sailing schools and was Director at Minnetonka Sailing School. Katie Tinder coached at Severn Sailing Association, was the Sailing Director at Pewaukee Lake Sailing School in Wisconsin and in 2016 became sailing program manager at the Columbia Yacht Club in Chicago.

Dan Thompson is Sailing Director at Little Traverse Yacht Club and assistant sailing coach at Hobart College.

David Thompson is assistant sailing coach at Dartmouth College.

CITY OF MAHTOMEDI WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 2016-07 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 9 OF THE CITY CODE TO ADD SECTION 9.06, REGULATING PREDATORY OFFENDERS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAHTOMEDI ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section I. Amendment. Chapter 9, Section 9.06 of the Mahtomedi City Code is hereby enacted as follows: 9.06 SEXUAL OFFENDERS AND SEXUAL PREDATORS 1. Findings and Intent.

A. Repeat sexual offenders, sexual offenders who use physical violence, and sexual offenders who prey on children are sexual predators who present an extreme threat to public safety. Current information indicates that such predatory offenders are likely to use physical violence and to repeat their offenses, and most predatory offenders commit many offenses, have many more victims than are ever reported, and are prosecuted for only a fraction of their crimes. The cost of predatory offender victimization to society at large, while not precisely calculable, is steep.

B. It is the intent of this Section to serve the City’s compelling interest to promote, protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City by creating areas around locations where children regularly congregate in concentrated numbers wherein certain predatory offenders are prohibited from establishing temporary or permanent residences.

2. Definitions.

A. Definitions. The following words, terms, and phrases, when used in this section, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning: i. “Designated predatory offender” means any person who has been convicted of an offense identified in Minnesota Statutes Section 243.166, subd. 1b, or a similar offense under the laws of another state, requiring the offender to register with the Department of Corrections and who has been assigned a risk level of III (referred to as a Level III Predatory Offender) pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 244.052 or who otherwise is required to register with the Department of Corrections and has been assigned a risk level of III (referred to as a Level III Predatory Offender). ii. “Permanent residence” means a place where a person abides, lodges, or resides for fourteen (14) or more consecutive days. iii. “Temporary residence” means a place where a person abides, lodges, or resides for a period of fourteen (14) or more days in the aggregate during any calendar year and which is not the person’s permanent address, or a place where the person routinely abides, lodges, or resides for a period of four (4) or more consecutive or non-consecutive days in any month and which is not the person’s permanent residence. iv. “School” means a public or nonpublic elementary, secondary school, high school or college, including Century College. v. “Licensed child care center” means an in-home or other child care center currently licensed by the State of Minnesota or Washington County. vi. “Public Park” means an improved or unimproved public park owned by the City, Washington County, a school district or other governmental entity.

3. Residence Prohibitions.

Superintendent Evaluation Reminder Board members received a copy of the superintendent evaluation tool to make some notes throughout the school year. This ensures that board members can provide thoughtful feedback to the superintendent on activities throughout the year.

Second Reading of Board Policy Form The School Board discussed a second reading of the harassment and violence report form. Discussion was held on whether to add gender to this particular policy versus creating a district policy to guide development of staff, curriculum and decision-making practices.

Discussion: Legislative Proposal – Setting 4.5 Program Superintendent Hayes presented a legislative proposal that she has drafted in collaboration with superintendents from Intermediate District 287 and Intermediate District 917.

Member Newberg left at this point in the meeting.

The proposal, called “Setting 4.5,” aims to improve student academic and mental health outcomes by embedding intensive mental health services into the programs. We believe that better student outcomes will result in lower staff injuries.

Martinmas pageant celebrates spirit of generosity

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

As the holiday season approaches, one family farm in Grant has a unique way of sharing the spirit of generosity: through an informal performance that gathers friends, family, neighbors and a handful of horses to illustrate the ancient story of St. Martin. The event always takes place as close as possible to the feast day of St. Martin (Nov. 11), which is often called Martinmas.

This is the 14th year that the Firefly Farm in Grant has hosted the celebration. Owner Sandra Knaeble said that the show began as a home-school project for her children — she typically wrote plays for them to perform with the help of neighbors and other homeschooled children, often adaptations from Grimm's Fairy Tales and other classic stories.

Knaeble said that she has a bit of theater background — in fact, the whole family was once involved with a production of “Macbeth” at the Jungle Theatre in Minneapolis — so she's no stranger to stagecraft, but she also believes there is real value in people creating their own entertainment.

“I'm a big believer that people can entertain themselves,” Knaeble said.

“It doesn't have to be super wonderful.

Mistakes can be made. Last year, one of the little girls fell off her horse, and my son just trotted over there, picked her up and set her right back down on that

Friends and neighbors play the roles of mounted Roman soldiers, who perform a choreographed quadrille as part of the pageant.

horse and she didn't even know it happened. She just kept riding. Things like that happen, but that's okay because we're just people doing this. We're not professionals; it's not Broadway, and I like that.”

St. Martin of Tours was born sometime around 300 AD and was conscripted into the Roman army. One winter's night as he was riding into a city, he noticed a beggar who was suffering from cold. He cut his cloak in half to share with the man.

Today, the informal pageant involves

a number of family, friends and horses as actors. Six riders will be dressed as the selfish Roman soldiers, who perform a short choreographed ride.

“It's much more fun if you've got the cruel soldiers ... because in our quadrille we have the beggar come up to the soldiers after they do their patterns, and they'll go in a line past the beggar,” Knaeble said.

St. Martin, traditionally the youngest of the performers (this year performed by an 11-year-old girl), is also dressed as a Roman soldier when he rides onto the scene and cuts his cloak to share with the beggar. The beggar (with a little help from the other performers) then sings a short song about generosity, and the pageant is concluded.

In the first year of the event, Knaeble said the family did not have any horses.

However, one of their near neighbors had horses, and Knaeble asked if they'd be willing to participate in the event,

coming in at the end dressed as the saint as a surprise. Every year since then, the act has incorporated the quadrille or some variation to add that extra element to the tale.

Since the lantern is one of the foremost symbols of the feast day, children who attended the event were able to create their own lantern from a jar and tissue paper, and then proceed on a short lantern walk before gathering to watch the performance unfold.

Martinmas celebrations often feature a coat drive, since the story features the sharing of clothing, but this year Firefly Farm opted to collect food donations instead.

“This is a celebration truly about what you give,” Knaeble said. “We really celebrate this and revere this, and we think it's important.”

Volunteer connects with Chinese children

BY JULIE KINK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

What do you do while your husband’s at work, you have time on your hands … and you’re in Changxing, China?

Sherri Grundhofer of Hugo decided to help kids.

In August, Grundhofer was on an extended visit to China when the opportunity arose to do volunteer work with children. Her husband, Dan Grundhofer, a 32-plus-year employee of Water Gremlin Co. in White Bear Township, heads up the company’s Changxing, China plant. Sherri visits him twice a year for a couple of months at a time.

“My husband’s role as plant manager means he attends social events with local government people, and I sometimes accompany him,” Sherri explained. “In conversation, a common question is, ‘What do you do while your husband is at work?’” When an acquaintance suggested visiting a school, the idea immediately appealed to her.

“I’ve always liked helping people, especially children,” said Sherri, who has three grown children in their 20s. “It wasn’t my mission going over there, but when I was asked if I wanted to do this, I didn’t hesitate. It was as much of an adventure for me as it was for the children.

“Everybody wants to learn English,” she said. “When you’re walking around, everybody wants to take a picture with you.” Sherri spent time at the Hongxingqiao Cultural Center, playing games with the children and talking with them with help from a translator. “Most of these kids have never seen a foreigner and they were quite interested in hearing the English language,” she said.

Sherri even was pictured in a Chinese TV news segment about the center.

Sherri also accompanied another group taking children shopping for school supplies.

“Everyone I had the pleasure of meeting in China was very nice. There are many similarities and many differences between our two cultures. Obviously, the language and food are completely different. The majority of transportation is e-bike or bus. It’s quite a challenge for cars, trucks, e-bikes and pedestrians all using the same road at the same time,” she remarked. “But the children act and behave the same as in the U.S. They play ping pong and badminton. They have parks in their community where everybody goes to dance and play cards or games.”

While it wasn’t the purpose of her visit, Sherri said she would love to visit with the children again if possible. She will

return to China at the end of December.

Scott Schulz, executive vice president of Water Gremlin Co., said Sherri’s visit was well received. “I was really touched that Sherri was taking the time to help make a difference in children’s lives,” he commented.

While the company is known for its American-made fishing sinkers, Schulz said, Water Gremlin’s main product line

is making bushings for the lead-acid battery market. Its plant in China, which Dan Grundhofer was instrumental in getting started, was built in 2013 to bring Water Gremlin’s know-how to the China market, he said. Products made at its plant in Zhejiang Province, about two hours from Shanghai, are sold to customers in China.
