Eatery flaunting law suddenly pays up, may be sold anyway BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — Diners enjoying the craft beers and specialty margaritas at Taco’s Fresh Sports Cantina, located at 3156 Century Ave., may have had cause to be jittery about the possibility that the eatery could lose its liquor license. Indeed, the city of Mahtomedi was poised to revoke that license at its Nov. 20 council meeting but tabled any action on the establishment’s license until its Dec. 4 meeting. Taco’s Fresh was about to lose its liquor license because the restaurant had not paid the fee pertaining to the license. It was the first establishment in Mahtomedi in the past 18 years not to pay its liquor license fee, City Attorney Jay Karlovich said.

What stopped the city from carrying out its planned action was the sudden arrival of a $2,300 check for the liquor fee, which was handed over to Finance Director Scott Schaefer. At the same time, the state Department of Revenue came knocking on Mahtomedi’s door with its hand out for its portion of the fee. The great fee dodge began on April 3 when the city approved an on-sale intoxicating liquor license and a Sunday sale liquor license. The approved licenses were to be valid from May 1 through April 30, 2019, contingent on receipt of all appropriate paperwork and certificates of insurance, in keeping with City Code section 7.01.1. For more than seven months, the establishment did not pay the required fee of $2,300, despite multiple SUBMITTED | GOOGLE MAPS

Save-the-turf group kicks off first meeting BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Treetop perspective Mathew Corbett and his mother Jenni check the ornaments they placed on the Christmas tree during a volunteer decorating party at the historic Fillebrown House in White Bear Lake Saturday, Nov. 24. Dozens of volunteers helped decorate the cottage in preparation for a variety of upcoming holiday events. Mathew is also a budding historian and has been attending historical society events with his mother since he was a baby.

Indoor turf time is golden — even for those in their golden years. Take senior softball, for example. Keeping the Vadnais Heights sports dome is a big deal to teams who use the dome for softball, judging by the comments made by those signing a petition. There are also soccer and lacrosse clubs, drone clubs and baseball teams that relied on the dome for winter turf. The Ramsey County-owned facility has been out of commission since April, when it collapsed in a spring snowstorm. A decision has not been made on whether it will be fixed. The county is contemplating options regarding the sports facility, including turning it into a parking lot. One petition signer among the 1,600 to date, tongue-incheek presumably, said the dome keeps his dad off the streets. Others said the indoor turf is an important asset for the retired citizens who play softball all winter on the fields. Diversity among users was a point made by several people attending a “Save the Turf”

meeting Nov. 14. Both parents and coaches representing multiple sports attended the meeting at the Charleston Event Center in White Bear Lake. Representing the county was Commissioner Blake Huffman, who admitted a conversation about the dome should have happened months ago. Ramsey County doesn’t know how to manage a dome, Huffman told the group. “We know how to do ice rinks really well, but domes are new to us. I’m not sure we should be in the dome business.” The District 1 commissioner assured them he was on their side, but the county board “was not on the same page” regarding the dome’s future. Huffman said both he and Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt want the dome replaced, but “it may not need to be owned by us.” There is also a two-story ramp going in on the site near Sak’s Sports Bar. They will be approaching both the White Bear Lake and Mounds View school districts, Huffman continued, with the SEE SPORTS DOME, PAGE 8A

SimpleGifts’ ChristmasTide Tour at Wildwood Artist Series BY SHELLY DAMON SPECIAL TO THE PRESS

It’s going to be another busy holiday season for White Bear resident Billy McLaughlin as he leads his renowned group, SimpleGifts, in its 17th annual ChristmasTide Tour. The six-piece acoustic ensemble will play 20 dates in the region this year, including a 3 p.m. matinee concert Sunday, Dec. 2, as part of the Wildwood Artist Series. McLaughlin, an Emmy Award-winning composer and musician, said SimpleGifts is a musical outlier in the glut of annual public Christmas music offerings. “We’re the least commercial-sounding and yet one of the most accessible music groups in the region,” he noted. “We’re the Minnesota sixpiece with a modern, Old-World sound that stays focused on the nonsecular Christmas music and story.” With six Christmas albums to draw from in its 17 years together, the band has a deep well of material that is arranged in a memorable alignment of voices and instruments. Singers Heather Moen, Karen Paurus and Amy Courts are backed by percussionist Billy O and the renowned Celtic piper and multi-instrumentalist Laura McKenzie. Each year, SimpleGifts’ angelic three-part female harmonies combine sweetly with folk instruments, including violin, Celtic bagpipes, tin whistles, concertina, melodica, guitars and

piano. Together the group turns traditional Christmas music into a timeless aural feast for the soul. "There’s no ‘Frosty the Snowman,’ or ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’ in the performance of SimpleGifts. Rather, Billy and his incredible group cover the arc of the Christmas narrative in a beautiful and profound way that touches the audience very deeply,” notes Brian Jones, who has booked the group previously as part of the Fine Arts Series at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota. Another fan noted how SimpleGifts concerts have become a gathering place for generations of families and friends, in a holiday, family-reunion atmosphere. There is always room for newcomers, who invariably become repeat fans. Last year, more than 20,000 people enjoyed the group’s music during the holidays. This year, however — based on fan demands for the sounds of SimpleGifts when it’s not the holiday season — McLaughlin and company decided to give their fan base what it wanted. They created an acoustic-driven tribute to Neil Young, CS&N, Joni Mitchell, The Eagles and others called “The Young & The Rest.” McLaughlin said, “You haven’t really heard Neil Young’s ‘Ohio’ until you’ve heard it with a mournful bagpipe arrangement and the ensemble’s siren harmonies. “Our non-holiday version of the band is just as appealing as the Christmas group that you will

hear and see at Wildwood Performing Arts. But we’ve put that ‘Young & The Rest’ thing on the shelf for now. We’ve got a month of many shows to help people celebrate the season with our unique sound, a beautiful stage set and the true Christmas spirit.” The concert will be held at the Chautauqua Fine Arts Center, next to Mahtomedi High School, at 8000 75th Street N. in Grant. Tickets are $25 adult, $15 student, and $20 senior and available at the SimpleGifts website, www.simplegifts.net, at the Wildwood box office and by calling 651-269-9888.

Snowbirds in Florida

M

idwest folks of retirement age head south beginning in October as do waterfowl and other species with wings. Florida, Arizona, Texas, California and New Mexico are the major destinations. Kathy and I spend most of November at Ft. Myers, Florida aboard Front Page. We reunite with so many friends at Legacy Harbour, it is similar to coming home. Several of the men enjoy morning coffee at the marina office veranda. Topics range from boating problems, economy and the absurdity of Florida ballot counting rules and procedures. This group is as much divided on politics as is the country. The “B Dock” group enjoys converAbout the sation most days, weather permitTown ting, at “Docktails”. They also find opportunities for potlucks, dinners Gene Johnson out and social events, such as observing sandcastle building at Ft. Myers Beach or attending a theatre production. FORTUNATELY THE ELECTION is over, or is it? It seems like campaigning has begun for 2020. The many women elected to Congress may bring a moderate approach to the country’s problems and bi-partisan support will be gained. On the other hand a divided Congress may stalemate, pleasing Wall Street. Seniors are struggling to understand Medicare health insurance supplements with the approaching Dec. 7 deadline. Legal immigration vs. asylum rulings are facing the caravan of people at the border and the courts are testing the options. Why do these people want to come to the United States? Jobs, freedom, safety and dreams of a better life are all reasons. THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY was a great reminder of what this country is all about. A Constitution that still works after 200 years is amazing. Can you name the five freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment? Maybe this would be a good topic for a family dinner discussion. James Madison wrote 17 amendments to the Constitution before he whittled it down to 10. In November, a publisher friend, Larry Atkinson of Mobridge, South Dakota, and I attended a First Amendment Festival at Florida Gulf Coast University. This was timely after our president called the liberal media an “enemy of the people.” Add to this the Saudi killing of the American journalist Kamal Khashoggi in Turkey. One Festival session was on “Fact or Fake?” We now have a fake news invasion and that suggests social media is not social but may be becoming harmful. Misinformation is stubborn. Studies prove we focus on what we want to see or what we agree with. We need to understand algorithms and realize if we use Facebook, we are labeled. Thus we are kept in our comfort zones with internet information. We need to learn to read across the aisle, understand what is opinion and what is not. We need to remember that journalism is essential to a democracy. WE SPENT THANKSGIVING in Ocala, Florida, with my niece Cynthia, husband, Steve and son, Jonathan. Also joining in were two nephews and their spouses who were originally from Clinton, Wisconsin. Family is important and the relationships need regular nourishment. Many families are faced with separation due to military service, deaths, job location economic limitations and impaired relationships. As families grow and expand, it gets more difficult to bring them together. We bring most of our family together the first Saturday of December for the Bethel University Festival of Christmas Concert and Smorgasbord. Enjoy the Christmas celebration of the birth of Jesus and recognize the purpose of God sending His Son to earth 2,000 years ago so each of us has the opportunity to choose eternal life.

Your legal rights: Financial powers of attorney

I

t is usually best for people to make their own decisions on matters that significantly affect their lives. In some cases, however, people become unable to do so because of health or cognitive impairments. In these situations, it is important for people to have someone they trust who can make decisions for them. Establishing a power of attorney may be something to consider. What is a financial power of Movers & attorney? A financial power Shakers of attorney is a docthat gives Lori Swanson ument someone permission to act on another person’s behalf. When a person creates a power of attorney, they are considered the “principal.” The individual to whom they give this permission is called their “agent” or “attorney-in-fact.” This individual does not need to be an attorney, but should be someone the person greatly trusts. There has been an uptick in recent years of financial fraud by agents who abuse the authority granted to them under a power of attorney. The person selected as the agent should be responsible, honest, and diligent. When establishing a power of attorney, a person must decide how much authority they want their agent to have over their affairs. A general power of attorney gives an agent the ability to act on a person’s behalf in all of their affairs, while a

limited power of attorney grants an agent this authority only in specific situations. A person may also choose to make their power of attorney “durable,” which means it stays in place even if the person becomes incompetent or incapacitated. A principal can also revoke a power of attorney. For example, somebody facing surgery may complete a power of attorney on a temporary basis, but then revoke it once they are healed and out of the hospital. When should I use a power of attorney? A power of attorney may be a good idea for people who are unable or who may become unable in the future to manage their financial affairs or make other decisions for themselves. Examples of powers people can give to their agent are: • To use a person’s assets to pay their everyday living expenses. To manage benefits from Social Security, Medicare, or other government programs. • To handle transactions with their bank and other financial institutions. • To file and pay a person’s taxes. • To manage a person’s retirement accounts. How do I create a power of attorney? A power of attorney must be in writing, signed in front of a notary, dated, and clear on what powers are being granted. If a person wishes to make the power of attorney durable (i.e., to last even if they become incapacitated), they must include a statement such as: “This power of attorney shall not be affected

by incapacity or incompetence of the principal.” It is not necessary to have a lawyer prepare a power of attorney, but consulting with one can help ensure that the power of attorney is constructed in a way that aligns with the person’s wishes. When does a power of attorney end? A mentally competent person can remove a power of attorney at any time with a signed document. If a power of attorney is not removed, it ends with a person’s death. Where can I get a sample form? A statutory power of attorney short form is available on the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office website at: www.ag.state.mn.us/ Consumer/Handbooks/Probate/ PowerOfAtty.pdf. This form is prepared according to statutory requirements. It allows a person to create a power of attorney, choose which powers they wish to delegate to their agent, and identify whether or not the power of attorney will be durable. Before completing the form, the principal and agent should carefully read all pages of the form, including the instructions at the top of the first page. In addition, some banks and financial companies have their own power of attorney forms. Preparing additional, organization-specific forms may make it easier for an agent to work with certain organizations with which the principal does business. Lori Swanson is Minnesota’s attorney general.

When the sunshine leaves for winter, don’t let it take your Vitamin D!

F

rom October to March, Minnesota residents wistfully crave the sunlight while dreaming of those distant, bright summer days. During the winter months, we are missing many of the sun’s benefits beyond warm temperatures – vitamin D being one. In fact, vitamin D is one of the most prevalent nutrient deficiencies in the U.S. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), over 40 percent of U.S. adults are deficient in vitamin D. When our skin is exposed to direct sunlight, vitamin D is synthesized in the body and hence, termed “The Sunshine Vitamin”. Movers and We can also receive vitamin D through food sources in our diet. Shakers Both routes yield vitamin D, which serves many important functions Kate Watkins for our health. Originally, vitamin D was only recognized for building and maintaining strong bones. Today, research has revealed even more benefits, such as defending against chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease and some cancers. Vitamin D may also have a role in boosting immunity and mood – pesky winter colds and seasonal depression sound familiar, anyone? Although the sun is our ultimate source

of vitamin D, many people cannot rely on sunlight for adequate levels. Physical barriers like sunscreen, clothing, windows, clouds, or geographical latitude all block exposure to direct sunlight and, therefore, block vitamin D production. Especially during the winter, the sun is at too low of an angle for our skin cells to properly absorb the light rays needed for its synthesis. Further, some individuals are at a higher risk for vitamin D deficiency including those with darker skin tones, older adults, and breastfed infants. Considering all of these obstacles, it is clear why vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent and a leading public health concern. During the summertime when the sun is at a higher angle, most of us can meet our vitamin D needs through 5-30 minutes of unprotected, direct sun exposure between 10 AM and 3 PM at least twice a week. However, it is important to note that no research studies have determined whether sun-sourced vitamin D synthesis can occur without increasing our risk of skin cancer. For this reason, the safest plan is always to protect our skin from the sun while getting our vitamin D through food or supplements. Vitamin D is not naturally found in many food sources, but is sometimes fortified. See the table below and check nutrition facts labels in your home for vitamin D content. For those

SUBMITTED

who do not regularly consume these foods and have limited sun exposure, a supplement may be the best option. Consult your physician for an appropriate dose because taking too much can also harm your health. Considering the availability of food and supplement sources, we can embrace another Minnesota winter with vitamin D on our side to protect our bones from icy sidewalk falls, to fi ght the flu season, and to keep our moods bright. Kate Watkins is a graduate of Mahtomedi High School and currently in her senior year of college at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, pursuing a degree in dietetics and nutrition.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

It’s a blessing to help While volunteering on a very busy day at the food shelf recently, I met with several neighbors in the intake room who were coming back to us after being away for two or three years. It illustrates to me how many of our neighbors are mainly doing fine, yet are only one mishap away from food insecurity. One woman has come to us a few times over several years, whenever she moves to a new apartment. With the costs of moving plus the challenge of filling a new set of shelves, she needs some temporary food help. Another man had first come to us while he was seeking a job; now he is unable to work due to his need for surgery and the time to recover from it. A job loss, an illness, a cut in work hours, house or car repairs: all of these can make it difficult to make ends meet. One senior opened her home to her son and his family when the son had health problems, and all of a sudden her Social Security check did not quite stretch far enough. A school bus driver needs help in the summer when drivers are not in high demand. What a blessing it is to be able to help with food and referrals to other assistance. In a country where the “safety net” sometimes does not seem as safe as it might, or at least is not deployed in a very speedy manner, I am very glad that the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf can step in at a moment’s notice.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:

Vadnais Heights • A woman was prevented from starting her vehicle the evening of Nov. 14 in the 300 block of Bankers Drive after an ignition interlock device locked her out due to alcohol use. She was driven home by her husband and the state Department of Driver and Vehicle Services was advised. • A man dropped off his vehicle Nov. 14 at Walmart in the 800 block of County Road E for repairs. When he arrived to pick it up the next day, he was told that not only were the keys missing, but the vehicle had vanished as well. The 2007 Volvo XC7 was later recovered in

Washington County. • A fi ll-and-flee amounting to $92 occurred the morning of Nov. 15 at a station in the 3200 block of Highway 61. The drive-off vehicle had been stolen in St. Paul. • A 22-year-old male shoplifter was caught red-handed attempting to steal a baby monitor worth $300 at Target in the 900 block of County Road E the evening of Nov. 16. He was cited for theft and released. • A pair of $200 Beats-by-Dre earbud Bluetooth headphones left on a bench in the Xperience Fitness locker room in the 900 block of County Road E and were only there for two minutes the night of Nov. 17, the victim said, before they were stolen. No suspects. • A single-vehicle crash on the driver’s way home

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:

Birchwood • A resident in the 200 block of Wildwood Avenue on Nov. 16 reported his neighbor for throwing items at his deck and house as part of an ongoing feud. The complainant told Washington County Sheriff's deputies he had a surveillance video of the activity and asked deputies to speak with the neighbor. The subject told deputies he had numerous issues with the complainant, including damaging his property and refusing to reimburse him, purposefully putting beer cans on the wood pile that separates the properties, performing lewd acts in front of the window and discharging a BB gun in the yard. Deputies advised the subject neighbor that he could be criminally charged if he intentionally caused damage to the neighbor's property.

Grant • A St. Paul woman, 33, was arrested on a warrant and for possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia in a motor vehicle at 12:51 a.m. Nov. 12 on Highway 36 and Keats Avenue after deputies pulled over the vehicle she was riding in for expired tabs. The driver, a St. Paul woman, 41, was cited for driving after revocation, failure to provide proof of insurance and for tabs that expired in May. The motorist admitted to knowing she did not have a valid driver's license. Her passenger, however, stated that she had never had any kind of identification before but was in the process of obtaining ID. When deputies asked her if she had ever been arrested before, she appeared to be making up a story as she went along and told them that she had violated probation but couldn't remember the crime she had committed. When deputies checked the community identification card she pro-

vided, they learned that she did have a Minnesota identification that had been revoked, along with two outstanding warrants in Minnesota and Indiana. In addition, the passenger had a glass meth pipe on her person. The remaining two occupants of the vehicle were made to vacate and find other transportation, while the arrested passenger was transported to jail. • A resident in the 11000 block of 66th Street N. on Nov. 14 reported that her husband had received an email on his work account asking for $6,000 in bitcoin. The complainant had deleted the message but wanted to report it. • A Coon Rapids man, 20, was arrested on a warrant and for possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia in a motor vehicle after deputies found him asleep in his vehicle at 1:05 a.m. Nov. 16 in the 6000 block of Ideal Avenue S. and smelled marijuana on contact. After finding the pot, a pill bottle full of roaches, a glass pipe on his person, a white glass pipe in his belongings and marijuana wrapped in paper in the credit card slot of his wallet, they conducted a mobile data computer (MDC) check on him and discovered the warrant. • A resident in the 8000 block of Kimbro Avenue N. on Nov. 16 reported receiving a phone call from a private number from a person claiming to be his grandson needing money. When the complainant told the caller he didn't have a grandson, the caller abruptly hung up.

Mahtomedi • A verbal disagreement was reported at 1:35 p.m. Nov. 12 at the bus stop at Long Lake Road and Century Avenue after a girlfriend just wanted to take her belongings and leave on the bus, and the boyfriend wouldn't let her. • A Birchwood Village man, 56, was cited Nov. 13 on eastbound Hilton Trail N. and Stillwater Road for unauthorized lights violation after being pulled over for blue LED lights around the

headlights. The driver was described as polite while deputies explained that blue lights are exclusive to emergency vehicles and snowplows, and that regular motorists are allowed only amber and white lights on the front of their vehicles. • An 81-year-old resident in the 100 block of Wildwood Bay Drive on Nov. 13 reported being a victim of a fraudulent email scam in which he was asked to buy iTunes gift cards. He bought 10 gift cards with $50 on each, for a total of $500. He was then asked to scratch off the sticker on the back of each and send the pictures to the email account of the scammers. When the complainant learned from his pastor that it was all a scam, he contacted Apple and found that six of the gift cards had been used. He was able to stop four of them. • A resident in the 200 block of Shamrock Drive reported his vehicle rummaged through overnight Nov. 13-14 and approximately $4 in quarters taken, along with an $85 pair of Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses. Deputies advised the complainant to keep his vehicle locked at night. • An Oakdale man, 44, will be cited for fifth-degree assault after he followed a juvenile girl into the Century College parking lot at 8:12 a.m. Nov. 14 for unknown reasons, then left his vehicle and pounded on her driver's side window several times, trying to pull her out of the car and threatening to hurt her. He also spat on the complainant. All of the attacks on the complainant were witnessed, and his license number taken down. When deputies tracked down the subject at his residence, he admitted to everything except grabbing the complainant. • A resident in the 40 block of Iris Street on Nov. 14 reported receiving a threatening phone call from his own spoofed number. Deputies advised the complainant that it was all a scam and that if he were worried about it, he could change his number.

• Approximately 15 gallons of gasoline was reported stolen overnight Nov. 14-15 from the large fuel tanks at the far east side of the Century College parking lots in the 3300 block of Century Avenue. Unknown persons forced their way through the closed gate and up to the unleaded fuel tank and stole the gas, while leaving a large amount of gas spilled on the ground during their activities. College security requested extra patrol during the overnight hours. • An employee of Total Tool of St. Paul reported the driver's side rear window of his truck smashed in and a backpack containing a work laptop stolen while it was parked in the public lot at Triangle Park in the 90 block of Stillwater Road on Nov. 17. • A St. Paul man, 25, was cited at 11:59 p.m. Nov. 17 on southbound Mahtomedi Avenue and Locust Street for speeding 47 mph in a 35 mph zone by northbound deputies passing Peninsula Road. While conducting the traffic stop, deputies smelled burnt marijuana and observed paraphernalia in the motorist's lap. A further search revealed an ashtray filled with roaches, which were taken into evidence for further action.

Pine Springs • A 25-year-old Hammond, Wisconsin, man was arrested at 2:09 a.m. Nov. 15 on a misdemeanor warrant for engaging in prostitution, reckless driving, speeding 86 mph in a 55 zone, failing to insure his vehicle and failing to yield to an emergency vehicle after deputies on stationary patrol pulled out their radar gun to clock his speed on Highway 36 and Hilton Trail. At that point, the subject slammed on the brakes, then accelerated again and took evasive action after evasive action until deputies located him backing up in the parking lot of a sheet rock company in Oakdale.

Gunsmith opens shop in Hugo BY SHANNON GRANHOLM THE CITIZEN EDITOR

HUGO — A local gunsmith enjoys the puzzle of taking guns apart and putting them back together again more than actually firing them. “I could probably go the rest of my life without actually shooting a gun, as long as I get to tinker around with them,” he said. White Bear Township resident Kevin Muramatsu was first exposed to guns as a kid, when he regularly went deer hunting with his uncle. When he was in grade school, he had a child care provider whose father would take him into the woods for target practice. After graduating from high school, Muramatsu ended up working for a tour guide company that arranged trips to Washington, D.C. for middle and high school students. Although he met his wife through the company, after almost seven years there he was tired of the stress and ready for something new. Muramatsu had always thought about gunsmithing as a retirement job. When his wife found a gunsmith program at Pine Technical College in Pine City, they both gave their notice to the tour company. In the fall of 2004, Muramatsu started the two-year program and has been employed as a gunsmith in one way or another ever since. In fact, he just completed his sixth year as an instructor for the gunsmith program in Pine City. “I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. I didn't realize how much I liked taking things apart and putting them back together again,” he explained. Muramatsu worked at Gander Mountain for a while before he began working at JP Enterprises Inc. in Hugo, where he was employed for six years. He then decided to venture off on his own. In 2011 he started Village Pine Custom Gunsmithing, which he ran out of his home. The name for the business comes from Muramatsu's name, which means “village of pine trees” in Japanese. For seven years that seemed to work for him; however, he said the business got to the point where he needed more space. He also longed for more foot traffic, as he enjoys talking with people who have the same interests as he does. In addition, he longed to have a bit of separation between work and home. In May, the business moved into a space in the Peloquin Industrial Park in Hugo that was occupied by Jim's Motorcycle Shop (5611 152nd St. N.). The full-service gunsmith business is mainly known for paint refinishing for both manufacturers

and private customers. The business also does repairs, cleaning, upgrades and custom pistol work. One trend Muramatsu said the industry has seen lately is called “gun candy,” which is an increasingly popular paint designed to make the gun look metallic or even change colors depending on lighting. As an authorized distributor, Village Pine's showroom carries JP Enterprise merchandise, along with other local manufacturer’s products. Aftermarket high-end parts such as triggers, optics, hand guards, barrels, recoil compensation parts and other upgrades can also be purchased from the business in addition to a small number of firearms.

LIQUOR LICENSE: Potential sale will require new license FROM PAGE 1A

written requests sent by now-retired City Clerk Mary Solie. Failure to pay the liquor license was a violation of Mahtomedi’s City Code. Since Taco’s Fresh failed to pay the required fee, no liquor license was issued. Yet, the establishment has been selling alcoholic beverages without a license since May 1. Pursuant to other sections of the

Mahtomedi City Code, the city is allowed to revoke or suspend the liquor licenses of Taco’s Fresh Sports Cantina. Before revoking a license, the city must hold a public hearing, which it has done. Section 7.01.3 of the code requires that notice of a public hearing must be served on the licensee at least 20 days prior to the license revocation, and notice must be published in the city’s newspaper of record, the White Bear Press.

The city considered that the violations were intentional and recurrent. Council was about to act on whether to impose a fine of $750 for the first violation within a three-year period and revoke the liquor license. However, those formalities came to a screeching halt on the day before the council meeting when the $2,300 check appeared at the eleventh hour. In addition, council received word that Tacos Fresh was to close and

would be sold to a new concern by Dec. 4. If the restaurant were to be sold, the current liquor license would not be transferred to the new owners. The old license would expire, and the new owners would need to apply for a new license. All that will need to be sorted out before there can be any action to revoke the license. Deliberation on the liquor license is scheduled to continue at the Dec. 4 meeting.

possibility of moving the indoor field to another site. “I’m confident we will have a dome, we’re just not sure where.” Helping lead the discussion was Shannon Hartinger, who co-owns the Charleston with her family and is developmental director for the White Bear Soccer Club. Hartinger asked Huffman what proponents of the dome could do to speed up the process. He told her to “keep doing what you’re doing.” He added, “Hold us accountable. The signatures (from the petition) are not lost on us.” There is also a possibility of a permanent field house. The county won’t be doing anything until it’s done with the insurance process, continued Huffman. “It is cheaper to take the insurance money and not rebuild. There will be a facility. The county has a goal of health and wellness. A facility fits our wheelhouse,” he said. Matt Hill, Northwestern College athletics director, thanked Huffman for “being champion of a facility.” He reminded the commissioner of the economic

impact sports tournaments have on the area. Soccer is a very diverse sport. “If they (commissioners) value that, the cultures, the economic diversity, users of the dome are in all ranges.” Hill reminded Huffman that a lot of people are relying on a future with the dome. “Please push the urgency,” he said. “That’s a great point,” Huffman said. “It helps this conversation.” A soccer dad from Andover wanted Huffman to know that the White Bear soccer director is why many kids are playing at the dome. “Many of us have come to White Bear Soccer Club because of (director of coaching) Edi Buro,” said Greg Cole. “You have here what many dream of having — that dome and a successful program. We talk about how cool White Bear is. You have a special thing here. These kids will come back to White Bear Lake someday because it’s an awesome community.” The treasurer of the White Bear Soccer Club, C.J. Buzzell, told Huffman that numbers will be affected if there isn’t a plan by July. Huffman promised to keep everyone updated. A decision is expected by spring.

Cozzie’s considers opening in downtown Hugo BY SHANNON GRANHOLM THE CITIZEN EDITOR

HUGO — For years, residents have been asking for more restaurant options in town. That may just happen, as the city is trying to come to an agreement with the owners of Cozzie's Tavern & Grill in Stillwater. Chris and Jennifer Cosgrove attended the Hugo Economic Development Authority’s August meeting to present a preliminary business plan proposal. The second location, called Cozzie's Lakeside Grill, is proposed for city-owned property on Forest Boulevard/Highway 61, on Egg Lake right across from City Hall. “A day hasn't gone by in my six years as mayor where someone hasn't asked about more restaurant options in the city,” said Mayor Tom Weidt. “I'm very excited that a business from outside the community is interested in Hugo. Hopefully they will fi nd it worthwhile, and we can come to the right agreement for them to come to Hugo.” Weidt added he has checked out the restaurant in Stillwater and noted "they have really good food.” Longtime Hugo restaurants Ricci’s Saloon and Carpenters’ Steakhouse were both destroyed by fi re; Ricci’s in 2007 and Carpenter’s in 2010. Carpenter's was on the Egg Lake property now owned by the city. The Ricci's site is slated for an O'Reilly's Auto store. Community Development Director Rachel Juba explained the city has been purchasing properties downtown since 1999 as they have become available. The city currently owns around 5 acres and has been actively marketing 4.5 acres of that property for the past 10 years or so. In 2010-2011, the city entered into a purchase agreement with a group who wanted to market the land and try to fi nd lease tenants, but that multiyear effort never came to fruition. Cozzie’s Lakeside Grill will be a competitively priced restaurant (approximately 4,800 square feet) with indoor seating for approximately 118 guests with additional outdoor seating to accommodate another 75 guests during the spring, summer and fall seasons. There will also be

an indoor private party/event room that can accommodate 50-60 people. The outdoor patio will overlook Egg Lake and feature a vintage grain bin re-purposed into a tiki bar with outdoor acoustic music on weekends. There will be a covered patio along with a paved patio area featuring an outdoor fi replace and fi re tables. There will also be an area for volleyball, cornhole and boot hockey leagues offered throughout the year, and special music events will be scheduled periodically featuring local musicians. The overall theme will be a modern rustic feel that is welcoming, warm and cozy. The décor, ambiance and feel of the restaurant will be inspired by the Hugo’s history as a farming community. According to the business proposal, “Just as Cozzie’s Tavern & Grill in Stillwater has become a neighborhood bar and grill, it is important that Cozzie’s Lakeside Grill represent to the community of Hugo a place where friends, families, passersby and community members can gather in a fun and casual environment.”

Hugo Councilman Phil Klein sits on the EDA. He called the Cosgroves' presentation “the most exciting project we’ve had for that property to date. “The couple have a good reputation and background in restaurant management and ownership,” he added, noting the plan could help kick-start downtown development. Currently, the city is marketing the property for $1, but only if the developer meets certain criteria. Juba said the Cosgrove’s proposal falls into that category, but many details remain to be fi gured out. The Cosgroves originally hoped the city would take the property off the market, but Juba explained that a city can't do that. What the city can do is come up with a purchase agreement with certain contingencies. Juba said that could come before the City Council as early as the Sept. 4 meeting. “I'm excited to see where this journey takes us with them,” Weidt said. SUBMITTED

Council gets an earful, delays apartment vote BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — Residents packed Vadnais Heights City Hall Nov. 20 to air their opinions on a proposed apartment complex at County Road F and Centerville Road. The Aster Meadow Apartments development is proposed to consist of two three-story buildings situated on 16 acres of what is now family-owned farmland and wetlands. The development would not impact the wetlands. The building is proposed to have a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom units with rents ranging from $1,000 to $2,200 per month, depending on the size and location within the building. The proposal, however, has faced opposition from some residents who live in the area who say the apartment complex does not fit in with the surrounding neighborhood. More than 280 residents since October have signed a petition opposing the apartment. The Vadnais Heights City Council held a public hearing regarding the project at the meeting but did not vote at that time. A few residents spoke in favor of the building, but most who attended and signed up to speak expressed objection to the project. The meeting lasted more than two hours. “We have heard you loud and clear,” Vadnais Heights Mayor Bob Fletcher said before the public hearing began. “We’ve received dozens of letters … I don’t want you to think there’s a vote that’s going to be pushed through one way or another.” Developer Peter Stalland said much of the propos-

al has been altered due to concerns from residents, such as splitting the one five-story building into two three-story buildings and changing the location of the parking lot. “There’s an impression that you build an apartment project and it’s low-income, undesirable people,” Stalland said. “I reject that. When I was young, I lived in an apartment with my wife and I don’t consider myself an undesirable person. The kind of people we’re going to bring to the city is going to be a desirable population.” The apartments would be marketed to older people and young professionals, Stalland said. Despite the changes to the proposal, residents said the apartment building would change the feel of the neighborhood. “Over the last 10 years, we’ve lived in this neighborhood, raised our kids here and been so grateful to be so close to the Twin Cities, yet feel we’re far away,” resident Jennifer Jensen said during the hearing. “The development of this complex would affect our quality of life.” Resident Feryle Borgeson said none of his neighbors have been in support of the project. He is a member of the Bridgewood Glen Homeowners Association. “We’ve got 52 units and I haven’t heard of anybody that’s been for this complex out of our 52 units,” Borgeson said. Resident Gary Eddy also said the complex would change the nature of the neighborhood and his home. “We bought our townhouse for the setting, and this apartment complex is going to take that away,” Eddy said.

Resident Trisha Kauffman spoke in favor of the apartments, but said she understood where the other residents were coming from in their opposition. “I think a healthy community needs a range of housing for its residents,” Kauffman said. “People who live in apartments are residents as well. I know change is hard, especially when you’ve looked out your window for many years and saw an open space, but it’s a very developable space. It’s a nice project.” Resident Frank Frattalone also said he was in favor of the project. Frattalone said he is a developer and has received complaints from neighbors to proposed projects on each project he’s worked in. “There’s a couple hundred people who have voiced against (the project), but there’s 12,000 or 13,000 people in Vadnais Heights,” Frattalone said. “We do need housing. … The tax base on this thing would be pretty good and I think it’s a good place to put it.” Fletcher said the council will accept written documentation such as letters or emails until a decision is made. The proposal is set to be on the agenda for the first meeting in December. Councilman Greg Urban will abstain from the vote as his family sold the land for the proposed complex and owns land adjacent to the proposed complex. In other action at the Nov. 20 meeting, the council: • Set a workshop for Dec. 4 to discuss the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. • Hired Jesse Farrell as the Vadnais Heights city engineer. Farrell currently is the assistant city engineer at White Bear Lake.

Town Board swears in new administrator BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The new White Bear Township clerk-treasurer was officially sworn in during a White Bear Town Board meeting Monday, Nov. 19. Patrick Christopherson will replace retiring Clerk-Treasurer Bill Short. Christopherson was sworn in by Short. For the last six years, Christopherson has been the coordinator at Kanabec County. Christopherson was one of three fi nalists interviewed by the board at Heritage Hall Oct. 1. The other two fi nalists were Clearwater City Administrator Kevin Kress and Birchwood Village City Administrator Tobin Lay. There were 34 total applicants for the position. “We are getting an excellent candidate in Patrick Christopherson,” Chair Bob Kermes said at an earlier meeting. Before he worked at Kanabec County, Christopherson worked as the city administrator for Jackson, Minnesota, for two years. He lives in Ham Lake with his wife Kristen and two daughters, Sinead and Aine. Christopherson has a Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of Minnesota – Duluth and a Master of Arts in political science and diplomacy from Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont.

The town board approved an employment agreement with Christopherson at an earlier meeting that included a starting salary of $123,500 with an annual car allowance of $4,000. He’ll be credited with 10 years of completed service and start with 56 hours of flex leave. Christopherson will undergo a performance evaluation after 180 days and then annually after that. Short will train Christopherson until Nov. 30, which will be Short’s last day. In other action at the Nov. 19 meeting, the board: • Approved a minor subdivision and lot line arrangement for two properties on Birch Knoll Drive. The properties are on the same parcel, which will now be split into two. • Allowed a side setback variance request for a property on Bellaire Avenue to allow improvements to be made to White Bear Lake Dental. • Approved a minor subdivision and lot line arrangement for two properties on Portland Avenue and one property on East County Line Road to allow the property owners to resolve an encroachment disagreement. • Held a closed meeting for about 20 minutes regarding the property at 5685 Portland Ave.

Lifelong pals team up again at 62, and help win a national tennis title BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

They became pals as fi fth-graders playing recreation basketball in White Bear Lake over 50 years ago and remained best friends ever since. They started playing tennis pickup games as teenagers on the Sunrise Junior High court while dabbling in other sports at Mariner High School. George Kimball got back to tennis four years ago, and this summer recruited Steve Middleton-Koller to join him for a pretty cool adventure in the sport. Still active athletes at age 62, the career educators were members of a 55-and-over team that won a national tournament sanctioned by United States Tennis Association in Orlando, Fla., Oct. 19-21. “We both believe tennis is a great sport for keeping in shape, and we enjoy the fact that we can participate as teammates, and often as doubles partners,” Kimball said. Kimball, playing for Northern/ Narvaez/55 & Over team, helped them win nationals in 2015 and 2017 and place third in 2016. “I’ve been fortunate to be in the right place at the right time,” said Kimball. This year, the team needed new blood because rules prevent teams

from staying entirely the same each year. Kimball fi gured Middleton-Koller could handle it, because he’s been doing well in pickle ball, a sport derived from badminton, tennis, and table tennis. “It seemed like it would be a lot of fun,” Middleton-Koller said, “but I was hesitant because of my lack of playing tennis over the past 20 years.” He had played tennis weekly against other teachers in the early 1990s but they were older guys who starting retiring, so he put away his racket. “Since then I spent most of my time golfi ng, and then discovered pickleball.” After practicing together a few weeks, they started to mesh. Kimball likes to roam the baseline, while Middleton-Koller prefers the net, where his pickleball skills were helpful. Once his baseline strokes improved over time, he “felt comfortable” making the commitment. Kimball assessed, “Steve caught on to tennis very quickly, and is considered an especially skilled ‘net’ player, thanks to his innate athleticism, and, likely, also due to his pickleball talent.” At nationals, with lineups rotating, the two 1974 Mariner grads got paired up three times and won them all. They won with other partners, too. Their teammates were Ron Saver, John Goulett, Al Hoen, Tu Van, Bill Boyes, and Michael Schneider and captain Eric Narvaez. Another teammate, Don Glover, a longtime friend who was their B squad basketball coach at Mariner, had to miss the nationals due to a leg injury when he stepped in a hole playing golf. “Don was with us in spirit,” Middleton-Koller said. After winning a four-state regional to qualify, Northern/Narvaez vanquished six opponents at nationals, all 3-0, each match consisting of three doubles duels. They beat the champs of the Southern, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Southern California, Middle States and Pacific Northwest regions, the latter being the championship match. “Winning the national title was exciting and challenging,” Middleton-Koller said. “Going out and playing the best you can under tournament pressure is rewarding.” As kids, Kimball and Middleton-Koller played rec basketball in grades 5-9 and B squad in 10th grade. They played some baseball,

too, and Middleton-Koller pitched a few innings on varsity as a senior. Kimball also participated in cross country and Middleton-Koller in soccer. Kimball has been director of adult education for the Minnesota Department of Corrections for 18 years, with plans to retire next April. He’s a past school board member and taught social studies at White Bear Lake eight years. Koller, now retired, was a Physical Education teacher in the Mounds View district. Both was a district Teacher of the Year, Kimball in 2003 and Middleton-Koller in 2006. Kimball played fast-pitch softball for decades and was named to the All-World teams four times at national tournaments, as a left-handed leadoff batter and second baseman

or outfielder. He still plays. Middleton-Koller played fast-pitch with Kimball (as a catcher) for 25 years. An avid golfer, Middleton-Koller has organized a tournament in Kimball’s honor, called the K-Man Invitational, for 30 years now, each September, that’s grown to 60 players. He has also collected a slew of fi rst, second and third places in pickleball tournaments. About his return to tennis for the Orlando excursion, Middleton-Koller is happy he was talked into it. “I have told some people that when I die,” he quipped, “I am going to have ‘National Champ’ engraved on my tombstone.”

After decade off, marathon runner heads to Big Apple Sixty-year-old Kerri Luecke had not run a marathon in 10 years. There was a time she wasn’t sure she would ever run again. Through a friend who knows one of the race directors, Luecke received a personal invitation to run in the 2018 NYC (New York City) Marathon Nov. 4. The NYC Marathon is largest and most popular marathon in the world. She ran as part of team TCS, the organization sponsoring the race. In preparation for the marathon, the Gem Lake woman sustained a stress fracture in her tibia and was on crutches in May and June. “I was uncertain if I could even train,” Luecke said. “Recovery seemed to go well, and other than a long run on a hot September day that I struggled with, my training went quite well.” Ten years ago a podiatrist who treated her for severe cases of plantar fasciitis in both feet told Luecke she would never run again. After a second opinion and four years off from running, she returned to the sport she loves. Luecke and her daughter Brianna flew to the Big Apple on Nov. 1. Being part of Team TCS (TATA Consultancy Services), she was given VIP treatment. “We had a special room to go to for picking up my race packet,” recalled Luecke. “At the start of

a fancy restaurant right in Central Park, where the fi nish to the marathon is located. We were also invited to a concert at Julliard.” As she ran through Brooklyn early in the race, Luecke felt pain in her left large toe. “It took me out of the pace I had during my

long training runs and forced me to walk, which slowed me by about 45 minutes of my anticipated fi nish time. It also allowed me to take in my surrounding more and savor all those who cheered in support,” she said. “The marathon goes through all five boroughs in New York City and fi nishes in Central Park,” shared Luecke. “Racers have to walk nearly one mile after fi nishing just to exit Central Park. As a VIP after receiving my medal at the fi nish line, I was immediately directed into ‘Tavern on the Green’, where they had buffets of foods from all around the world. There was an open bar, dessert table, free engraving of our fi nisher’s medal, and physical therapists working on cool-down stretches and massage. “At age 60, I did not expect to be running another marathon but when this opportunity came up, I could not turn it down,” she said. “It was an experience of a lifetime and I am very grateful to all those who encouraged and supported me along this journey. Family and friends back home were able to track me throughout the race using an app and even see me fi nish.” Submitted

Fierce forest-dweller: the northern goshawk BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Deep in the forested parts of Minnesota lives one of its fiercest and most secretive residents: the northern goshawk. With its stark gray-and-white feathers and blood red eye, the goshawk is an intimidating character to encounter in the Minnesota woods. Goshawks, sometimes called “gray ghosts,” prefer tall, old-growth forest areas, with heavy canopy coverage. These forest denizens are larger than their urban cousins, the sharp-shinned and Cooper’s hawks, but much smaller than the red-tailed hawks seen frequently along freeways and fence posts in the Twin Cities. Goshawks can be found in northern Minnesota year-round, but might be seen more frequently in the southern parts of the state during the winter. Since they are often found in dense forest environments, these birds are extremely agile fliers, dodging branches and navigating obstacles as they pursue their prey. The way the name of this bird is spelled has led to some misinterpretation of how to pronounce it. Some might say “goshhawk,” but there is no “SH” sound in this bird’s name: “goss-hawk” is the correct pronunciation. The name is a modernized version of the Old English term

Adult goshawks are not difficult to identify—the dark cap on their heads is broken by a bright white “eyebrow,” and their eyes are a vivid orange or red. However, younger goshawks appear mostly brown with yellow eyes, and can be difficult to identify. “gosheafoc,” meaning, “goose hawk.” Goshawks are in the accipiter genus of raptors, distinguished by their smaller size, slender build, and long wings and legs. These birds are efficient hunters, equipped with long, sharp talons and hooked beaks that enable them to kill their prey. Their diet commonly includes small mammals such as squirrels and rabbits, as well as many other bird species. In other parts of the world, most species in this genus are known as “goshawks” or “sparrowhawks,” but in North America, the northern goshawk is the only species that carries that name. Goshawks have been historically used for falconry, particularly in the United Kingdom. In 2014, author Helen Macdonald released her bestselling memoir, “H

is for Hawk,” which detailed her experience training a northern goshawk named Mabel while coping with grief after the loss of her father. Falconers such as Macdonald recognize northern goshawks as one of the wildest and most difficult birds to train. Adult goshawks are not difficult to identify—the dark cap on their heads is broken by a bright white “eyebrow,” and their eyes are a vivid orange or red. However, younger goshawks appear mostly brown with yellow eyes, and can be difficult to identify from other accipiters; expert assistance may be needed for a confirmed ID.

The District followed the requirements of the Health Insurance Transparency Act (HITA). The RFP sought both fully and self-insured bids by advertisement, as well as directly sent to HealthPartners, Medica, PreferredOne, BCBS of MN, AETNA, United Healthcare, and PEIP. The RFP requested that the carriers submit proposals with similar benefits as the district currently has. Bids were opened on August 22, 2018. The district invited representatives from the Teachers Federation Local #3748 but no representative was in attendance. It was determined in consultation with Gallagher Health and Welfare Consulting and the District to negotiate the fully-insured proposals with three of the seven bidders in order to reduce costs. The “best and final” bids were opened on September 11, 2018. Our current carrier, HealthPartners was the low cost proposal with an overall decrease of 12% for the calendar year 2019 and a rate cap of the lower of our actual rate due to experience or 9% for the 2020 and 2021 plan years. At the September 25, 2018 Insurance Committee Meeting it was determined by the District and announced that the largest bargaining unit within the district is currently Education Assistant Federation Local 2343. Two proposals were presented: (1) accept a third year rate cap from HealthPartners resulting in the RFP process deferred until the 2022 plan year; (2) eliminate the underutilized $1,000 deductible plan and add the limited “Achieve Network” alongside our current “Open Access Network” for the $250 & $2,500 deductible plans. By accepting the “Achieve Network” and eliminating the $1,000 deductible plan, the savings increased from an 11.98% reduction in premium to a 12.10% reduction in premium for our open access plan and a 15.62% reduction in premium for the Achieve Network plan. Employees will have the opportunity to elect to remain on the Open Access plan or can elect to enroll in the Achieve Network. Both proposals were accepted by the exclusive representation of the largest group of employees, Education Assistant Federation Local 2343. Accepted the three-year proposal/contract from HealthPartners to provide health insurance coverage for the calendar years 2019 - 2021 as presented. Acceptance of Dental Insurance Proposal The District went out for bid in the form of a Proposal (RFP) for its dental insurance plans effective January 1, 2019. The District followed the requirements of the Health Insurance Transparency Act (HITA). The RFP sought both fully and self-insured bids by advertisement, as well as directly sent to HealthPartners, Delta Dental and MetLIfe. The RFP requested that the carriers match the district’s current benefit offerings. Our current benefit offering has an unlimited annual benefit. However, Delta Dental and MetLife would not offer unlimited annual benefit but instead offered an annual benefit cap of $5,000 cap. Bids were opened on August 22, 2018 including inviting representatives from Teachers Federation Local #3748, but no representative from Teachers Federation Local #3748 was in attendance. Our current carrier, HealthPartners was the low cost proposal with an overall decrease of 7% for calendar years 2019 & 2020 and a 3rd year rate cap not to exceed 5% for 2021. Accepted the three-year proposal from HealthPartners to provide dental insurance coverage for the calendar years 2019 - 2021 as presented. Revised School Board Norms and Self-Evaluation Procedure The Board approved a set of operating norms and self-evaluation tool in September. The board chair and vice chair met with the administration for some fine tuning of a few items which are highlighted in the documents. In addition, some planning was completed that outlines how the board will use the results in its discussion and goal setting. Approved the changes to the norms and self-evaluation tool. Open Forum There were no submitted written reports from board members. Member Ptacek shared a Legislative Ledger handout from MSBA. Mental health and funding special education will be a couple of the topics. Member Timm raised the concern of how the same mental health dollars can benefit both education and human services—Superintendent Hayes replied by partnering with them.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — At its Nov. 19 meeting, the City Council took the following action: • Heard a presentation from Schaefer on the city's new website. City staff spent a considerable amount of time getting this going, but the new site is easier for residents to use than the old site, he said. The site is divided into four main parts: community, government, departments and “How do I”. To return to the front screen, users simply click anywhere in the center of the screen. “I like the feel and new look,” Schaefer said. Try the new website at www.ci.mahtomedi.mn.us. • Approved a charitable gambling license for the Fraternal Order of Eagles 94 to conduct gambling fund raising activities at Bloody Mary's, 96 Mahtomedi Ave. • Approved permanent easements and a right-of-way entry agreement for Washington County as part of the Stillwater Road (CSAH 12) Phase 1 Street Reconstruction Project. The permanent easement is needed for the additional area to accommodate a turn lane at Warner Avenue, a drainage structure, and roadway shoulder at McGregor Avenue along Stillwater Road. The entry agreement is to allow for proper restoration and grading adjacent to the roadway project and for the reconfiguration of the City Hall parking lot as a result of removing the parking lot entrance onto CSAH 12. The county will need some additional permanent right of way to accommodate the intersection reconstruction at Hallam Avenue. • Approved a request from the property owners at 139 Spruce St. in the R1-E (single-family residential) Historic District for a minor subdivision to divide the property into two lots. Approval was given on two conditions: that the applicant provide evidence of an easement for the water service that runs to the home at 140 Tamarack St. and also provides drainage and utility easements along all newly created lot lines. • Tabled action on a request from the property owner at 1145 Summit Ave. for a variance to allow impervious coverage of 44 percent in the Shoreland Overlay District, where a maximum of 35 percent is permitted, to allow for the construction of a detached garage. • Approved the Washington County Community Development Agency (CDA) predevelopment finance fund grant application. For the past few years, the city has been working with the county on developer recruitment for the properties along Century Avenue between Century College and the retail strip mall north of the Century/I-694 interchange. During discussions with the CDA, it was suggested that Mahtomedi may be a good candidate for funding through the predevelopment finance fund program. The grant would help finance a small area plan study of the area to help spur investment and redevelopment. The grant is available for up to $10,000. The required local match for the grant is 20 percent, or $2,000. • Passed a resolution adopting the Washington County All-Hazard Mitigation Plan as the last part of a required update process that was approved with no changes needed. The plan was first approved by Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management and then by FEMA. Hazard mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact

of potential disasters. • Hired three firefighter/EMTs, contingent on successful completion of psychological and physical exams and criminal background checks. The hiring of the personnel brings the Mahtomedi Fire Department staff numbers up to 21. “We'd like it to be 30 and we can accommodate 36 employees,” Fire Chief Terry Fischer said. “And we have another woman interested in a position, too.” • Approved change order No. 2 in the amount of $32,581 for the Hickory Street improvement project. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 6 in the amount of $36,941 to Douglas-Kerr Underground LLC for the Hickory Street improvements and in the amount of

$64,274 to T. A. Schifsky and Sons Inc. for the Briarwood area improvements. • Approved construction pay voucher No. 6 in the amount of $177,705 to Kuechle Underground Inc. for Phase 3 of the Historic District improvements and the Edgecumbe Drive storm drainage improvements. • Authorized city staff to advertise for a public works maintenance operator position. • Agreed to accept the donation of a 4,000-gallon drop tank for the Fire Department. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

“FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD” (PG-13) [SOME SEQUENCES OF FANTASY ACTION.] — After declining to work with his brother (Callum Turner) at the British Ministry of Magic and being asked by a Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry professor (Jude Law) to head to Paris in 1927 to find the alleged son (Erza Miller) of the evil, powerful dark wizard (Johnny Depp) in this entertaining, action-packed, convoluted, 3D, star-dotted (Carmen Ejogo, Kevin Guthrie, Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Wolf Roth, and Brontis Jodorowsky), 134 minute, J. K. Rowling’s sequel to the 2016 “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” with terrific special effects and wonderful creatures, the magizoologist (Eddie Redmayne) and his Muggle bakery owner friend (Dan Fogler) go to the City of Lights to find two magic-wandwaving sisters (Katherine Waterston and Alison Sudol) and join other people (Zoë Kravitz, William Nadylam, and Claudia Kim) in searching for the necromancer who is bent on gathering followers and ruling humans.

WEEKLY AVERAGES

We enjoyed a brief break from run of cold weather and NOV. 28-DEC. 4, 2018 what a better time for it, during Thanksgiving. The “milder” High 30° temperatures on Thursday and Friday, 36º and 48º Low 16° respectively, offered the opportunity to finish up on some yard work. I noticed some folks out on area ponds that have been %Sun 39% frozen over for several weeks. Fishermen ventured off the pier PCP 0.37” by the VFW on White Bear Lake on Sunday, but after drilling a few holes, wandered back as they deemed it unsafe. Large areas of White Bear are still open but that will be changing soon with the colder temperatures. Friend Dorian is hoping the cold with no snow will give him a chance to take the ice boat out; looks promising. Sorry snowmobilers, not your time yet.

School board gives thanks for levy support A grateful Mahtomedi School Board met Nov. 15 to accept the vote on the tiered levy it presented to voters at the Nov. 6 election. Voters passed the levy by a 10 percent margin: 55 percent approved the request and 45 percent were opposed. The levy, requested to offset losses in state funding, allows the district to reduce class sizes districtwide, enhance academic programming, strengthen building safety and security, and build fi nancial stability through deficit reduction. More than 70 percent of the district’s general education revenue comes from the state. Bill Menozzi, director of business services, said the 10-year levy is tiered; the amount increases every three years to keep up with increasing costs. For 2019, the levy will increase the voter-approved amount

per student by about $275 from $744 to $1,019. In 2022, that figure will be $1,294 per student. By 2025, the amount will be about $1,570. Mahtomedi School Board Chair Judith Schwartz said, “We appreciate the community’s support.” • Menozzi presented a proposal to replace the EFIS (exterior insulation fi nishing system) at the high school second floor addition from 1996, the Chautauqua Fine Arts Center and the Middle School rooftop penthouses. “They are all reaching the end of their life from a building envelope standpoint,” he said. He said the buildings had been inspected and no mold had been found. He said funds for the repairs would not come from the referendum money but from the district’s long-term facility maintenance fund and asked to adver-

Bid opening would take place Dec. 12, with a decision recommended the following day. “If we advertise in December, we feel we have chance to get a better rate than if we advertised in February when things are really ramping up for spring,” he said. The board gave its approval to advertise for bids. • The board also heard a report from auditor Jim Eichten, managing partner of MMKR Certified Public Accountants, who gave a brief overview of his fi rm’s audit of school district fi nances for the fi scal year ended June 30. In 2017’s general fund, the district had roughly $11,600 of revenue on a per-student basis; in the seven-county metro area, revenues average $12,800. “It’s not really a concern,” he said, “but it’s good in-

formation to take in.” He said 2018 would see a slight increase in state aid that would affect general fund allocations. He noted that 2017 noncapital spending per student was $11,400 per student in Mahtomedi; the state average is $12,100. He said the general fund balance had declined to $2.8 million, or 4.5 percent of its overall spending. The district strives to maintain a balance of 8 percent. The audit contained recommended action items to get the fund balance up to its policy mandate. • At the Nov. 6 general election, voters elected Julie McGraw, Kevin Donovan and Mike Chevalier to serve on the school board.
