DNR mum on cost of augmentation

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

A slow and slippery welcome to winter Drivers nudge along in bumper to bumper traffic along Highway 61 in White Bear Lake Monday, Nov. 30. The first round of significant snowfall of the season fell during the morning rush hour. Areas of shear ice were created on local roadways as vehicles traveled over and compressed unplowed, wet snow.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) isn't talking when it comes to a lake augmentation figure.

It's not that the agency hasn't been asked. Members of the White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) met with DNR representatives last month to get an update on the cost estimate study, but to no avail.

"There isn't a number yet," reported district Chairperson Jane Harper. "That is what everyone wants to know; but the DNR made it clear there will not be any leak of a figure until the draft report."

The DNR is working with the Metropolitan Council, which hired SEH, the Vadnais Heights engineering firm that installed augmentation systems in North Oaks. SEH was also the firm that did the 2014 water sustainability study for the Met Council.

The preliminary report is due in mid-January, Harper told the board at its Nov. 17 meeting. A final version is due to the Legislature by Feb. 1.

Globe-trotting mediator attends global climate change summit

BY KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR

He helped post-revolution Polish political leaders rewrite their constitution, helped resolve territorial disputes in Moldova and helped negotiate a cease fire in the Philippines.

Tom Fiutak of White Bear Township has traversed the globe as a professional mediator and speaker.

Presently, he is in Paris attending a global conference on climate change.

The semiretired former university administrator is a leader of Mediators Beyond Borders International, a nonprofit that advocates the benefits of mediation and provides mediation services.

Fiutak and three other members of the organization are at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, an annual gathering of representatives of nearly 200 countries to discuss and consider treaties involving climate change mitigation.

As a nine-time convention attendee, Fiutak's objectives are twofold: 1. To observe and understand the complex negotiations occurring at these conventions and educate the public about them. 2. To educate policymakers about the benefits of engaging impartial mediators and to lobby for the inclusion of mediation requirements in any negotiation protocols developed SEE MEDIATOR, PAGE 8A

Sex offender residency restrictions passed, but with family exception

BY KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR

SUBMITTED

BIRCHWOOD — Sex offenders now can't live alone next to a city park. They can, however, move in with family.

At an emergency meeting Nov. 24, the Birchwood City Council adopted an ordinance banning sex offenders from living near a park or day care. But the ordinance includes multiple exemptions, including for offenders who reside with relatives.

News that a Level 3 sex offender planned to move across from city tennis courts on Cedar Street spurred two council meetings in less than a week.

Many residents hoped the council would adopt an ordinance that would block Joseph Charles Zacher from moving in after his Nov. 30 release from prison. A few residents and the city attorney opposed such restrictions, calling them hastily developed, ineffective and/or a litigation risk.

The three council members present at the Nov. 24 meeting adopted an ordinance, but not one that might have impeded Zacher's move. The council

Tom Fiutak is in Paris attending his ninth United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Augmentation advocates plan meet-and-greet

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

Recharging the depleted lake is the sole mission of Friends of White Bear Lake.

The nonprofit group is lobbying for augmentation to remedy the lake's low water level and invites the public to a meet-andgreet to learn more.

Friends Chairman Harry Melander, a Mahtomedi resident who also represents District 12 for the Metropolitan Council, said the Dec. 9 event is to promote the work his group is doing regarding augmentation.

"The plan to recharge the lake is controversial. Some

say 'yes' and some say 'maybe not,'" Melander said. "Our group believes the direction we're going is best for the region and the lake. We need to convince people at a local level that this is a regional asset and with help from our legislators, we may get it done in 2016."

Representatives from around the lake comprise the now 12-member Friends board, which has added five more members since forming in September, all lake homeowners.

Birchwood director Greg McNeely, who also chairs the White Bear Lake Restoration Association, said the December event is a "kickoff to grease the

wheel for augmentation."

"We're trying to get support for our efforts to regenerate the lake," he noted. "We want the lake to be healthy. Friends is a vehicle for people who love the lake to have their voices heard in the legislative process."

Their goal is to obtain 100 percent of the capital costs from the Legislature to build the infrastructure.

That total, plus operating costs for the system, are being compiled in a Department of Natural Resources/ Met Council study due to the Legislature Feb. 1. Proposed is a 4-mile pipeline that would carry water from Vadnais Lake to White

Foundation desires to inspire philanthropy A new area foundation created by local movers and shakers has just launched.

The volunteer team formed the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation, a nonprofit that will focus on partnerships with local financial advisors, individual and business donors, nonprofit groups and government and school officials.

In a press release provided by foundation Secretary Jackie Reis, the board of directors was listed as Bill Foussard, chairman, Carol McFarlane, vice chairman, Jesse Bengtson, treasurer, Reis and Jessica Bernier, Eunice Cote, Craig Drake, Carter Johnson, Brady Ramsay, John Redpath, Bob Schneeweis and Ryan Steen elected as directors.

Together the directors represent the communities that surround the community's namesake lake: Birchwood Village, Dellwood, Mahtomedi, White Bear Lake and White Bear Township.

The foundation goal is to educate the community about opportunities to work together through donor-advised funds, designated funds, scholarship programs and agency endowments.

"The community foundation is for everyone," said Foussard. "It's a wonderful and effective vehicle that offers people the opportunity to work together on issues they care about and to make a difference, for tomorrow and for years to come."

Water would be purchased from the St. Paul Regional Water System, which draws surface water from the Mississippi River.

The Friends group offers assurance the recharge system would filter river water to remove invasive species and phosphorus before entering White Bear Lake and would not impair water quality.

Friends' board member Jim Markoe said personal invitations will go out to city and town leaders around the lake to make them aware of the organization and the Dec. 9 meeting. The community is also encouraged to attend.

"When we do work at the Capitol, there is a cost to make sure we're watching our Ps and Qs," Melander added. "We will appreciate contributions but this is more to get

people in the community, both those who live on and off the lake, engaged in what we're trying to do."

Double-edged his Thanksgiving I attempted (for the first time) to recreate a dressing (stuffing) recipe that has been a tradition in our family for generations. Using a general list of ingredients and instructions that my mother had previously shared with my sister-in-law, who included them in a family cookbook, I began to strategize how I could successfully prepare the dish.

Recalling some distant memories of Thanksgiving, I remember watching my mom and dad in the kitchen toasting bread and using a hand-cranked food grinder to methodically combine a variety of ingredients. I considered using a modern food processor, but for some reason I’ve always thought that a Angle of manual food grinder was as imView portant to this recipe as the secret ingredient that took years for my Paul Dols mother to get my grandmother (on my dad’s side) to finally reveal.

I found an old grinder in an antique store in downtown Stillwater and using some elbow grease, steel wool and hot water I witnessed its transition from a questionable old hunk of metal into a viable kitchen appliance. Once all of the necessary ingredients were ready, I began the process of feeding the toast, celery, cabbage, onions and cooked giblets into the grinder. I was pleased (and relieved) when the first batch was successfully ground up and deposited in a pan. At more than 100-years-old, the antique proved to be the perfect tool for the job.

I admired its robust simplicity as I easily cranked the raw ingredients through its blades. While not exactly like the dressing I remember my mom making, the finished product was close and in my opinion, pretty good. Now that I’ve given it a shot, my next attempt might have to include a little more of that secret ingredient. In a society fi lled with such an overwhelming abundance of high-tech gadgets, it was refreshing to fi nd legitimate usefulness in such a low-tech piece of equipment.

A recent round of necessary software and computer updates here at the Press illustrated to me how challenging and tricky it can be to effectively manage and maneuver through a continuously changing technological landscape. With powerful software and hardware companies in control and our increasing dependence on their products, it can sometimes feel like you’re being lured into a trap.

The question of whether technology frees or traps us was debated by participants in the Great American Think-Off in New York Mills, Minnesota earlier this year. On one end of the spectrum, contestant Marsh Muirhead stated that technology is racing ahead of the problems it creates and that we are “no happier, no more secure than when chased by the tiger, freezing in our cave.” Technology proponent David Lappako argued that “while technology can be incredibly aggravating, compared to the alternative, it is what enables us to do more of what we dream to do, and with immensely greater ease.”

Personally, I strive to be educated and open minded about the latest technological trends and updates, but am also reluctant to abandon what has been time-tested and proven to work.

Along with the Thanksgiving side dish experimentation, I also volunteered to cook a turkey this year.

I had only done it once before and that was several years ago, so I knew I had to do some research to prepare for the task. In the process, I discovered an astonishing amount of information and opinions on the internet about the best way to prepare, cook and carve a turkey. Sifting through a number of tutorials, I chose the techniques I had a reasonable chance of successfully executing. Using information technology to help accomplish a time honored tradition, the final process ended up being a hybrid of a few different tutorials and based on the clean plates and scooped up leftovers, the turkey actually appeared to be quite well received.

Health insurance still broken lue Cross/ Blue Shield recently announced that premiums would increase by an average of 49% for people who buy individual insurance policies.

This is on top of already sky-high deductibles. At a recent town hall meeting in Olivia, a gentleman said that his policy (which between the deductible and premiums was over $30,000/year) wasn’t health insurance at all. was basically Movers and Itbankruptcy insurance.

Shakers Minnesotans deMatt Dean serve better than that. The Affordable Care Act was designed to fix a broken healthcare system. But in Minnesota, it just seems to have made things worse for most folks.

We had state-based programs that helped people who couldn’t get insurance because of income or preexisting illness. We had already achieved virtually all of the goals of ObamaCare before it was ever passed. Minnesota wasn’t perfect, but in terms of quality and cost, we were the undeniable leader. Our state-based programs, now dismantled, have many folks wondering why we gave up what we had.

We now have public programs that the state can’t afford, and private plans that families can’t afford.

I was appointed to a healthcare financing taskforce to make recommendations to the legislature.

Unbelievably, there is a strong influence to actually create less competition and produce more red tape. Middle class Minnesota is al-

B

ready paying more to receive less, while others pay little or nothing.

It is broken and out of balance. We need to seek exemptions from the feds so that we can lead the nation again in healthcare reform, not follow it off a cliff.

MNSure, the state-based exchange, was heralded as a new ObamaCare marketplace to purchase health insurance. But after two years and $200 million in taxpayer funding, the program has attracted only about one-tenth the amount of customers that politicians said would sign up. MNSure is unable to pay its bills without massive and ongoing subsidy. The system continues to be mired in problems for counties who use the system to track eligibility for public programs, insurers who are trying to sell policies and most of all, Minnesotans who battle impossibly frustrating and broken application and billing problems.

The restrictions and red tape are driving up healthcare costs, and they are also hurting people.

144,00 Minnesotans lost their doctor and policy they were promised they could keep and had to turn to MNSure to try to get covered. One of those folks is Charlie Dunker. After having their old policy outlawed, his wife Gail filled out the MNSure paperwork (twice) and sent in a check.

Gail was surprised when her doctor told her she needed tests and she did not have insurance.

After months of battling insurance companies and bureaucrats, Gail discovered that she was also battling cancer. The couple borrowed $14,000 to get diagnostic work done. Because she was uninsured, she wasn’t able to be treated. A

few weeks later, Gail collapsed, and died a short time after being admitted to the hospital.

People from other states, who make less than double the federal poverty guideline (FPG), can instantly avail themselves of Minnesota’s healthcare system (with little or no cost) if they merely state their intention to live in Minnesota. Our programs cover more people with more benefits than just about any state. Nearly one-in-five Minnesotans is now on Medicaid and those who make up to four times the FPG qualify for a subsidy. That hardly seems fair to people like Mr. Dunker who have played by the rules, paid every bill and lived their whole life in our state.

Middle class Minnesota has been put in a vice. Many must work less or get divorced in order to qualify for the health insurance the government now mandates. Others cut back staff or borrow money to pay bills. There is simply no way for farmers, small business owners or workers who have lost their employer-based coverage to snap their fingers to come up with the insurance money.

While other early adopter states like Oregon and Hawaii have folded their state based exchanges, Governor Dayton has doubled down on ObamaCare. We can and should take a more realistic course. I have proposed that Minnesota abandon the MNSure experiment, admit the mistake and go about the business of helping people hurt by this political experiment.

Rep. Matt Dean represents District 38B in the Minnesota State Legislature.

Gratitude – easier said than done his is the time of year when we take a break from our regular routines to be grateful for all we have in our lives. For some the hassle of preparing for the holidays makes it hard to stop and be grateful. Others, caught up in the Christmas buying spree hype, loose focus on the intent.

Even the added pressure to feel grateful can be distracting. Just the same, most would agree that an attitude of gratitude is good.

But it’s not just that gratitude feels good, it’s also good for us. Multiple studies link high levels of gratitude with better physical and mental health.

Grateful people tend to live longer, enjoy healthier relationships, fare better socially and at work, and are more generous.

While gratitude is good for us, it sometimes seems like Brussels sprouts on the Thanksgiving table. We take a taste because we know we should, but we don’t plan on making it a daily activity.

So why aren’t we more grateful?

Overloaded schedules, conflicts at

T

home, at work, in our community, and in the world don’t help. Access to a 24/7 news and social media network that often thrives on negativity can drive out any grateful feelings.

A natural response is a need to take cover, protect ourselves and our resources, and shut others out so we can protect our own. That’s not what the holidays is about and it’s not we should lead Movers and how our lives throughout the rest of the year.

Shakers Thankfully, there Jerry Hromatka are things we can do every day to create and maintain that sense of gratitude yearround. Here are just a few: Thank others first. Research shows that showing gratitude to others benefits the giver as well as the receiver.

There are dozens of reasons to say thank you (and mean it) every day. Not everyone will respond in kind, but the act itself can lift your mood and make

Cultivating an attitude of gratitude as a daily feast rather than a once a year “ought to” experience, takes work but is worth it. you more aware of the ordinary things for which you can be thankful.

Less is more. Modern American life often comes with an abundance of stuff. That abundance can be a bigger burden than a blessing. Clutter creates anxiety and takes a lot of time to clean and organize. Donate your unused items to people who could make better use of them. This will create both time and space to really enjoy and be thankful for the stuff you value.

Turn off the screens. Taking a break from television and social media can boost your mood and divert your atten-

tion to your friends and family. Faceto-face connections with loved ones are usually much more emotionally satisfying and sustaining than online ones.

Count your blessings – literally.

The simple practice of writing down ten things to be grateful for can be a quick way to refocus your mind on the positive when it feels overloaded by the negative.

While having a year-round attitude of thankfulness doesn’t negate the painful realities of the world around us, it does give us more energy to do something about those problems we can affect and shield ourselves from those we can’t. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude as a daily feast rather than a once a year “ought to” experience, takes work but it is worth it.

Wishing you and yours a heartfelt and happy holiday season.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Second chances A letter signed by the family that Level 3 sex offender Joseph Zacher will be living with asked the residents of Birchwood to give him a second chance, which they say he deserves. According to his criminal record, he has already had quite a few second chances.

How many does a person need?

Catherine Schultz Vadnais Heights Birchwood kids are less safe 1. Joseph Zacher is categorized as a Level 3 sex offender. This means he presents a high risk to re-offend. Joseph Zacher has already re-offended before, within a month of being released from a previous prison sentence.

2. The Department of Corrections told Birchwood residents in a community notification meeting that Zacher’s family plans to transport him if he needs to go somewhere by car.

Given these two presuppositions, isn’t it common sense that potential victims who live or play within walking distance of Zacher’s residence will be at greater risk than those who live or play farther away? Given this offender’s criminal history, I can’t understand how anyone would suggest otherwise.

The Birchwood community unified and overwhelmingly urged our City Council to pass an ordinance that would likely have prevented Joseph Zacher from moving in across the street from a busy park. Such an ordinance could have been passed by the council in time. The Iowa courts have ruled that it IS constitutional to prevent a sex offender from living with family members within restricted zones. However, apparently due to fear that such an ordinance might be challenged in court, the Birchwood Council failed to pass an ordinance with teeth specific to the situation and Birchwood kids are less safe as a result.

I understand how ordinances like this, on a broad scale, would make placements more challenging for the Department of Corrections. I also understand how ordinances like this, on a broad scale, may problematically reduce offender reporting rates.

However, on a local level, with respect to the safety of kids who live and play in Birchwood, we needed an ordinance that would have prevented Joseph Zacher from living across the street from a park. The poor judgement of the Department of Corrections in approving the placement followed by the lack of courage by our mayor and the unwillingness of our council to stand up for community members have resulted in a decreased level of safety in Birchwood.

Megan Malvey Birchwood

Now casting Re: New Birchwood resident, Joseph Zacher, Level 3 sex offender Casting is now underway for Birchwood’s upcoming production of “The Wizard of Oz.” If you’d like a role, you’d better hurry. The roles of the Mayor with no Courage and The Attorney with no Brain have already been taken.

Steven and Karen Wolgamot Grandparents of Birchwood children Mahtomedi Distorted information Bob Tufty's letter to the editor contained many distortions. At the end of the October Grant City Council meeting, while raising my hand I was assaulted by Councilman Huber. Go to Youtube and type “All Around Grant” and “ assault against Loren.” I filed a police incident report.

At the November meeting I refused to sit next to him. At the February meeting Larry Lanoux and I changed seats without incident or a vote. Why is this different?

Bob is a minion of the Carr, Huber and Lobin team (they all ran as a team in 2012).

Bob had a complaint filed against him alleging false campaign material. The Office of Administrative Hearings dismissed it because the U.S. Court of Appeals had struck down a 101-year-old law that made it a crime to make false political statements on a ballot question. So much for his credibility.

I was not disruptive and left the meeting calmly and the sheriff officer complimented me on being so cooperative.

I should be able to function at a meeting without fear of assault or this type of harassment.

When I was on the Planning Commission, the mayor tried to bring me up on charges of impersonating a planning commissioner when I was one.

Do you see a pattern of behavior here?

WBLCD: Fiscal agent role pondered in preparation for bonding money FROM PAGE 1A

If bonding money is approved in 2016 for augmenting White Bear Lake, there is another important matter: Who will be the fiscal agent to receive the funding?

A WBLCD task force met last month with three of the five communities around the lake to discuss the district taking on that role. The conversation centered on whether the WBLCD has authority to take on an augmentation project and its capacity to administer such a project.

"We feel we should get changes to our legislation that explicitly says we can work on water quantity and quality issues and receive funds from entities other than state and federal," Harper said. "If we are fiscal agent, we may receive funds from private entities and local governments. We want to be sure if we go forward with this project and funds are available, our legal framework is very clear."

Harper pointed out from talking to area legislators that this should not be a problem.

"There will be authors for a bill," she said. "There also doesn't appear to be concern or pushback from communities if we tweak our authorizing legislation."

White Bear Lake, White Bear Township and Mahtomedi officials participated in the Nov. 16 task force meeting. Dellwood and Birchwood did not attend.

Harper said the district, which consists of volunteer citizens appointed by their community, needs to be certain it can take on the responsibility if bonding money is

directed to the board.

By agreeing to be fiscal agent, the WBLCD would "own" the infrastructure. "The caveat is we can contract out for operation and maintenance of the facility," Harper noted.

Whether the state will fund 100 percent of both capital costs and soft costs (engineering, permitting, legal, land acquisition, etc.) to construct an augmentation pipeline is unknown. "There seems to be a difference of opinion," continued the chairperson. "Some believe that typical bonding projects look for local funds in the amount of 50 percent. As fiscal agent, we could need to secure commitments from local sources. We haven't done that in the past."

Other highlights from the task force meeting: • Accountability and responsibility would be with the fiscal agent.

• The question arose whether the board is the best organization to lead this project.

• The board would not only be accountable to the state for spending on the money, but to local communities, elected officials and landowners both on and off the lake. Offlake residents may not be excited about potential maintenance costs for such a project.

• No communities around the lake have taken a formal position on augmentation.

Harper reminded the directors that the board has also not taken a formal position on augmentation.

Director Pat McCann, who represents Dellwood, feels the upcoming session is when bonding could

MEDIATOR: Last trip was to Nepal FROM PAGE 1A

at the conventions.

If global warming isn't mitigated, Fiutak predicts the environmental impacts will incite conflicts across the globe.

He's already witnessed his fair share of conflict. He's mediated everything from neighbor property line disputes in St. Paul to arguments between leaders of the Environmental Policy Institute of the Czech Republic.

After earning a doctorate degree in higher education and organizational behavior, Fiutak started his career as an assistant dean of students at Cornell University. He came to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities to lead its Student Organization Development Center (student activities office). When the university established a Conflict and Change Center, Fiutak became its leader. The U of M was one of the first in the country to have a research center dedicated to the study of conflict management, negotiation and mediation models, according to the Bald Eagle Lake resident. For a time Fiutak also directed the U of M's conflict management minor program for graduate students.

These days he's mostly retired from the U but still does some occasional teaching there.

Fiutak also has worked as a mediation advisor for the World Bank, including creating and leading a negotiations course conducted via satellite with 600 officials in 16 countries.

As a volunteer with the Dispute Resolution Center of St. Paul, he's provided free mediation services both locally and abroad, including in the negotiation of fishing rights treaties between Native American tribes and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and in the resolution of territorial disputes in the Gaguaz region of Moldova. He's been to the Philippines three times to help its government negotiate cease-fire agreements with the Moro Islamic Liberation

happen. "There isn't another bonding bill for a couple years," he said.

"There are a variety of numbers (for augmentation) f loating around, but SEH did Snail and Gilfillan lakes, so this isn't their first rodeo. The assumption I've got is the figures will be close to accurate."

McCann added that there seems to be a "lot of enthusiasm for this."

"Legislators who approach us indicate we're the most viable entity to be the fiscal agent," he said.

"After six years of messing around with this (lake issue), it seems we're getting closer to a solution.

For the first time, it appears a lot of activity is moving in that direction."

Harper told the board the district should be ready to make a decision in February on whether it would take on the role as fiscal agent for the complex project.

"Let the task force know your questions so we can research as a work group and be ready to make a decision. We might want the Legislature to find someone else to be the fiscal agent."

It was noted that the district could contract with entities like Met Council or St. Paul Waterworks to operate and maintain an augmentation infrastructure.

"Gene (director Altstatt) and I aren't going out with a bag of tools to clean a filter," McCann said. "I own a crescent wrench. I don't want to get too bogged down with none of us knowing how to do this. These projects are handled by professionals."

Task force member Altstatt feels the district is the most obvious

group to be fiscal agent.

"I think a number of us have the will to take it on and deal with the issues to make it happen," he said.

"All this is not beyond our capability. We are big boys and girls and we can figure this out. We should accept the challenge."

The fact neither the board nor local governments have taken a formal position on augmentation has caused what Harper describes as "an interesting dynamic that creates complexity on the front end. We're walking on eggshells a little," she said. "I don't feel our board should be out in front of our communities but yet they have not taken a formal position. The train has left the station."

WBLCD attorney Alan Kantrud told the board the district is recognized by the Legislature as a very important asset. “You are here to govern this,” he said. “If that means taking money from the state to fix a problem specific to your district, that is what they expect you to do.”

Kantrud did not feel the board needed to have "that intellectual debate whether augmentation is good or not. It doesn't matter. Let's assume it's not augmentation, but some other project. They expect you to have a catcher's mitt on for funds. The whole notion of being a fiscal agent is not dependent on a project that has specifics of augmentation, but the idea is motivation at the legislative level to push money into local hands — to be the trustee to get something done to fix the problem."

ORDINANCE: Constitutionality debated FROM PAGE 1A

Climate change policy discussion Tom Fiutak will hold a discussion about what he observed at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change from 6-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 15 at the White Bear Lake Library. He invites anyone interested in global climate change policy to come converse about the issue.

Movement.

Fiutak helped rebuild and build countries after the fall of Communism and the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, including serving as an advisor to the Polish Constitutional Committee.

He also travels frequently to speak about mediation strategies and benefits, often at French universities. Leaders of the French National Association of Mediators encouraged him to write a book that they translated into French and endorsed.

Published in 2009, it's now used in many French mediation courses, Fiutak said.

Publishing an English version is on his goal list, but he's been too busy traveling to make it a priority, he said.

This fall the mediator spent a week in Nepal assisting government officials with post-earthquake redevelopment negotiations. Soon after, he visited Cuba with his wife, who runs an acupuncture clinic out of their home. Next month they are planning a vacation to Australia.

Fiutak estimates he has visited more than 50 countries as a mediator, lecturer and tourist. While he enjoys the travel, especially now that it's mostly as a volunteer or for pleasure, he said “it's always good to come home.”

passed restrictions that mirror the ones in place in a handful of other Minnesota communities.

All the other residency restriction ordinances exempt sex offenders who live with family. The Birchwood councilmen — Randy LaFoy, Bill Hullsiek and Mark Anderson — weren't willing to deviate from that norm.

They worried that having an ordinance unlike the others would enhance the city's risk of being sued by someone wanting to challenge the constitutionality of residency restrictions. Mayor Mary Wingfield wasn't present at either meeting but sent a statement read by the city administrator at the Nov. 24 meeting strongly admonishing the prospective unique ordinance as the product of a “f lawed and tortured” process that would “expose the city to great risk with only the illusion of protecting our children.”

Resident Megan Malvey asked the council to take the

risk, noting that insurance would limit the city's legal cost liability. No parents will allow their children to use the tennis courts if Zacher lives nearby, she predicted.

Even if the council had adopted an ordinance without a family exemption, Zacher still might have moved into the neighborhood. The city attorney told the council on Nov. 22 that Zacher or the Department of Corrections could argue that Zacher was already legally a resident and therefore no new ordinance would apply to him.

The ordinance that was passed applies to new residents who are designated as a Level 3 sex offender or who have been convicted of certain sex crimes against children. It prohibits them from living within 1,000 feet of any public recreation facility, day care or school (if one is ever established in the city). The restrictions don't apply if the offender is a child or committed the crime as a child, if the

offender lives with parents, grandparents, siblings, spouse or children; or if the Department of Corrections establishes a halfway house in the city and the offender resides there.

No offender would be required to move if a new school or day care is established near the offender's residence, but the exemption doesn't extend to new parks or other recreation facilities.

The ordinance also renders it illegal for the owners of properties within 1,000 feet of recreation facilities, day cares or schools to rent their property to a prohibited offender.

The council on Nov. 24 also directed the mayor to form a citizen committee to draft a prospective ordinance placing limits on sex offenders' conduct on city property. Those limits might include banning offenders from using city parks.

Developer asks city to ante up for share of public ramp

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Boatworks Commons LLC wants the city to fork over $170,000 — the balance due on the public parking ramp tucked under its apartment building.

The city wants to think about it.

Representatives of the Marina Triangle project appeared before the City Council Nov. 24 to state why a six-figure penalty clause should be removed from the redevelopment agreement.

The clause states the city shall reimburse the developer for costs associated with acquiring and constructing private parking in the amount of $170,000 if the project is completed by Dec. 31, 2014. The amount is part of the $2.7 million the city agreed to pay.

The city contends the deadline was missed; the developer says the clause should not be enforced.

The Dec. 31 completion date was included in the agreement to ensure the city would receive the maximum amount of increased taxable value in the first year the project was completed in order to meet tax increment financing (TIF) projections.

Since the project was only partially completed at the end of 2014, the county assessor's value for taxes payable in 2016 was based on partial completion — $ 5.7 million rather than the full

$14.1 million.

The city's financial advisor for the project, Springsted, determined the loss of TIF revenue to be as much as $121,000 in the first year since the project was assessed at 40 percent of its final value.

In a memo to the city manager's office, Community Development Director Anne Kane said the matter is sensitive, given the longterm relationship between the two parties; however, staff believes a defendable argument can be made that the signed contract should prevail and that failure to meet the deadline should trigger the penalty clause to be enforced.

"At this time, staff is not prepared to recommend anything less than a 5050 split of the outstanding $170,000," Kane told council.

This ref lects that both parties share equal responsibility in the actions attributable to the delayed closing date.

Staff would have liked to reach an agreed-upon compromise before presenting the matter to council, Kane said, but the developer asked for an opportunity to present to the current council.

At Home Apartments President Mike Cashill, which owns the building, addressed the council, along with his counsel Leanna Stefaniak.

He thanked the city for its support the last five years in developing the project.

"We've invested millions

of dollars in White Bear Lake," Cashill said. "We didn't ask for tax increment financing, or any other form of government assistance to build it. Our project will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in property taxes over the next 50 to 100 years. We redeveloped a blighted site into a beautiful public-private partnership. The legal document is very complicated with definitions we have difficulty understanding. There were delays, acquisitions of properties, soil issues and title issues. We are asking the city to pay an agreedon price for the ramp of $2.7 million. The city has paid $2.53 million so far, so we're $170,000 short of the agreed-upon amount."

The developer shared documentation that shows cost overruns of $260,000 in unexpected expenses in order to construct the public ramp during winter conditions.

That expense was necessary to meet a grant deadline to the city, Cashill pointed out.

Stefaniak said it was a "gross error" not to address an issue with the delivery date in the document.

"Delays in the project attributable to both parties should have triggered an amendment to alter the timeline," she maintained.

It was also inconsistent with other provisions of the agreement, and there was confusion regarding the term "completed."

In an email to city officials, the attorney for the developer said delivery of

the project was not entirely in the developer's control, as the city played a significant role during construction. To withhold payment is not an act of good faith or equitable, Stefaniak said, especially when the city had a great deal of inf luence over the timing and progress of the project.

At the advice of city attorney Roger Jensen, the council delayed consideration of a resolution that offered to split the difference.

"The developer has not agreed to the compromise; therefore the council should not take action tonight," he said. "Until the developer does that, it makes no sense to modify the agreement."

Before the city would amend the agreement, staff also set two conditions: The developer agrees to not appeal or seek reduction of the assessor's estimated market value below $14 million to ensure maximum future tax increment revenues are realized; and the developer shall guarantee a two-story restaurant and agree not to seek further amendment to reduce its minimum square footage.

Councilman Bryan Belisle felt the developer indeed faced challenges with the brutal winter weather, the soil contamination, and other factors "not normal in most projects that caused the delays."

"I agree with the 50-50 split and the market value threshold," he said. "We all want to see a restaurant and I'm optimistic one will be

found. I question whether square footage needs to be a condition."

Jensen asked Cashill and Stefaniak if they were agreeable to the 50-50 proposal with the conditions: Stefaniak said they are not at this point.

Mayor Jo Emerson declared the two parties were not on the same page, so there was nothing to agree on.

Councilman Doug Biehn asked the mayor if the council needed to meet in closed session to discuss any legal issues.

Jensen said there was "no threat of litigation, but I can see it looming out there."

City Manager Mark Sather agreed the Boatworks project was very complicated but the issue was not at the point where either party should consider litigation.

"We've been able to work out our differences thus far," he said.

Sather also brought up the fact that after considerable time, the two-story restaurant still has no tenant.

"We are concerned that a significant portion of the project could be lost," he said. "We're not saying that is the case. Between now and the next meeting maybe we can get more comfortable with that."

The payment decision will be postponed until the Dec. 8 meeting to give parties more time.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES The White Bear Lake City Council took the following action at its Nov. 24 meeting: • Authorized issuance of $15 million in health care and housing facility revenue bonds on behalf of Cerenity Senior Care. The care center is refi nancing its loans for the 2012 expansion/renovation.

Proceeds will be used to refi nance outstanding notes issued in 2012 by the city and White Bear Township to fi nance expansion, rehabilitation and equipping of the White Bear campus, as well as 2015 capital improvements. There is no fi nancial risk to the city since it is serving only as the conduit issuer for Cerenity to borrow funds at a low interest rate.

• Briefly discussed looming water rate restructuring.

City Manager Mark Sather noted that a pledge of the lake lawsuit settlement agreement was to reduce water consumption by 17 percent.

"The city is working to get lower-flow toilets in houses, etc., but when all is said and done, the real opportunities are irrigation in summer," Sather said.

The city pumps 1.8 million gallons per day in winter and in summer, demand on hot days can reach 8 million gallons per day. That is the low-hanging fruit to reach the conservation goal, he noted.

"Rather than focus on a tier system, the city feels it should provide incentive for cutting back on irrigation," Sather said. "So we are looking at summer and winter rates for water. If people continue to water as usual, they will pay a premium.

It doesn't mean you have to have a brown lawn. We can be smarter about watering our lawns." There will be more to come on water rate changes.

• Granted a certificate of completion to the second property to be completed in the last three years

by Habitat for Humanity. The home at 1916 Eugene St. is ready to be occupied and its new owners were moving in last week.

The nonprofit organization is interested in identifying additional properties in the city. Habitat also plans to modify the model in which it identifies homes, according to Community Development Director Anne Kane. Habitat's Mike Nelson told Kane its goal of building about 200 homes per year will increase to 500 affordable housing units under the new model. More emphasis will be placed on renovation of existing stock rather than new construction.

• Discussed an agreement with Gem Lake to provide municipal water.

White Bear Lake would help Gem Lake serve property on the east side of Highway 61. Those properties are all on private wells, some of which are shallow wells that threaten the subsurface aquifers, Sather said.

"The more users we get off these wells, particularly in commercial areas, the better." Gem Lake would own and pay for the system; there would be no cost to White Bear Lake residents. Council authorized execution of the agreement if Gem Lakes agrees to its terms.

The Press received notice this week from state headquarters to this effect.

Fred Nickolaus, of Birch Lake Avenue, has been commissioned second lieutenant for the unit. Mr. Nickolaus was No. 1 in the draft, but was exempt. He has had several years’ service in the National Guard and will be an able assistant to Capt. Christie.

As, of course is generally understood, the state is to organize state defense force units to take the place of the National Guard units when they move out on January 3. Here in White Bear a unit will be organized to be known as Headquarters Co., 1st Defense Brigade...

Teacher contracts approved in District 624, tentative deal reached in District 832 White Bear Lake teachers have a new contract and Mahtomedi teachers will vote on one soon.

The White Bear Lake School Board approved a two-year contract with its teachers union during a special meeting last week. The contract, which also has been ratified by the teacher's association, is retroactive to the beginning of the school year and is in effect through the end of next

school year.

A district official declined to release a copy of the contract before press time because she said it still needed to be proofed and finalized. According to a district press release, the agreement includes a 2 percent increase in the teacher salary scale both this year and next. The district will pay a larger portion of the teachers' health care premiums. Earlier this year the

district converted to a self-funded health insurance system with a higher deductible that is expected to reduce the district's net costs.

In the press release, School Board Chairwoman Janet Newberg described the negotiations as “collaborative and respectful” and said they “produced a result that is good for both the teachers and the district.”

In Mahtomedi, a tentative 2015-

2017 contract agreement has been reached. According to Mahtomedi Education Association President Adam Beyer, a proposed deal was struck between union and district leaders during a second mediation session the week before last. The teachers will vote on the proposal on Dec. 4 and the School Board is expected to vote Dec. 10.

Joel M. Anderson & Associates located at 2150 3rd Street in downtown White Bear Lake celebrates 29 years of providing legal services. My law fi rm has cut way down from the many attorneys employed twenty years ago. I provide a thrifty practice without all the overhead required to run a larger fi rm. I wish the court fees and case management costs have not grown exponentially these past years, but that is not within my control. I’m about affordable results, and these days, when you hire me you get me, instead of a less experienced employee. Joel M. Anderson is licensed to practice in Federal and State Courts, representing a wide variety of clients in criminal and civil matters. I still aspire to capably provide affordable results, while becoming more selective about my clientele.

Rules of professional ethics prevents lawyers from claiming undue infl uence and control, but it should be obvious that experience and familiarity with the legal system is an important consideration when choosing an attorney. The best way to choose an attorney is knowing the person, or being referred by a trusted acquaintance. Probably the worst way is by a fee-paid referral service. Referral providers do not qualify legal credentials beyond licensure by the Minnesota Supreme Court. State and Federal courts determine the scope of an attorney’s practice, not a referral provider with an advertising budget. Popular and experienced lawyers are far less inclined to pay referral fees. Less busy attorneys often resort to buying referrals. Referral providers need to fi ll the monthly quota for referrals to any attorney willing to pay for referrals. Any licensed attorney is technically “qualifi ed” according to the courts, and no referral service is going to deem a referral-buying attorney as “unqualifi ed.” This “referral service” advice applies to almost any licensed professional service provider. Yellow Pages or internet advertising does not qualify or disqualify an attorney, regardless of advertisement headings.

MY INVITATION Call me to discuss your legal needs without initial obligation or cost. My phone number is (651)429-4009.

I may invite you to set an appointment to provide personal assurance that I fit the bill as your advocate, and to set terms of a retainer agreement. At all times I am bound by rules of professional ethics to protect a prospective client. All fees and expectations need to be discussed. If you choose to retain my services, we both will need to assess our desire to work together

BY KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR

While parents should be concerned about sex offenders in their neighborhood, a child safety expert said last week there is a greater danger parents tend to overlook.

“Children are much more likely to be victimized by the people we let in to our homes through the front door than the people they meet when they're outside it,” Alison Feigh, program manager at the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center, told parents gathered at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church Nov. 23.

The church and the city of Birchwood sponsored the visit from the presenter, who provided parents data about child victimization and advice on how they can best prevent their children from being victimized.

The presentation was prompted by the news that a Level 3 (highest-risk) sex offender is moving to Birchwood.

Yes, parents should keep their children from interacting with that offender, advised Feigh, who used to work as a youth pastor at St. John in the Wilderness Church. But they should worry less about that known threat and more about unknown predators who have access to their children, she suggested.

“The No. 1 lure with abuse and abduction is not a white van and candy, it's attention and affection,” Feigh said.

Abductions and sexual assault against children by strangers are rare, she

said. In most cases, predators need three things, she said: access, time and interpersonal skill.

Parents shouldn't teach their young children to avoid all strangers, Freigh recommended.

Some children conceptualize strangers as frightening-looking people they have never seen before and it leads them to assume that everyone else is safe, she said. And there will likely be times that a child will need to seek help from someone they don't know.

Instead, parents should encourage their children to trust their instincts when interacting with people they don't know, Feigh said. They should tell their children not to accept gifts or leave with an adult unless they have been given permission by their parent or caregiver.

And they should warn their children to be sus-

picious if an adult asks them for help when they could have asked another adult.

Parents should thoroughly vet all of their children's caregivers, the safety expert advised.

And that list shouldn't include just babysitters, but also coaches, relatives, the child's friends' parents and any other person who has unsupervised access to their child.

Feigh advised the best way parents can keep their children safe is ensure they have a “safety net” of adults they can trust and to teach them it's OK to say no to any adult who makes them uncomfortable.

“We need healthy communities where kids are told they are deserving of love and no one has the right to hurt them and they are special,” she said. “Because if they're

getting that message from a [safety] net, if someone swoops in and says ‘I will love you if,’ their red flag is going to go up faster.”

Feigh said the most frequent question she receives from parents is how they should talk to their children about sexual predators. She suggests families should have “safety nights” at least twice a year to discuss a wide range of safety topics. Another good time to talk to children and teens is in the car, she suggested.

She encouraged parents to avoid lectures and instead pose “what if” questions. Parents should describe dangerous scenarios, ask their children what they would do in that situation and then discuss their answers, Feigh suggested.

Bear girls improve to 6-0 A pair of wins of the northern variety enabled the White Bear Lake girls' hockey team to improve to 6-0 for the season, and set the stage for an important week.

The Bears traveled north to bump off Hibbing/Chisholm and Grand Rapids by identical 4-2 scores last Friday and Saturday. They capped the weekend with a victory at Hibbing on Saturday.

The Bears outshot Hibbing 33-21 in the triumph, including 14-1 in the opening frame when they grabbed a 2-0 lead.

Kailee Snyder and Peyton King had first-period markers, Sarah Moy added a goal in the middle period, and Emma Stat capped the scoring in the final period.

Stat and King both finished with a goal and a pair of assists, and Bear goalie Samantha Klemann had 10 saves.

White Bear also jumped out to a quick start against Grand Rapids. Snyder and Sydney Shearer had first-period goals, and Alexis Cooper gave them a 3-0 advantage with a goal at 8:21 of the second period.

Grand Rapids closed to 3-1, and then 3-2 on a goal just 0:28 into the final period. The score remained that way until Moy's empty-net marker at 15:44 secured the victory.

Calla Frank stopped 28 shots in the Bear nets to earn the win.

White Bear played East Ridge on Tuesday (after press time), before a clash with Mounds View at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday night at Vadnais Sports Center. The Mustangs entered play this week with a 4-0 record that includes a win over Roseville.

Four Zephyrs named All-Conference Jack Heinsch, Brandon Hull, Devin FitzPatrick, and Quinn Lemke were named to the Metro East all-conference team for the Mahtomedi football squad, with Jalen Frye, Kaleb Siekmeier, Tom Firminger, Tanner Johnson, and Jake Knecht honorable mention all-conference.

The Zephyrs finished sixth in the conference with a 4-4 record. They began the season with four victories in their first five contests, before losing three in a row heading into the section playoffs.

Mahtomedi began Section 4(5A) play with wins over Minneapolis Washburn and Blake, before being ousted in the section finals by North. St. Paul to finish 6-5 overall.

"We had a good year," offered Zephyr head coach Dave Muetzel. "We lost in the section finals to a good North St. Paul team. We had our chances but just couldn't get over the hump. However, we had different guys step up each week. We had to move guys around a lot because of injuries but our players had great attitudes and did whatever we ask them to do. We are saying "good-bye" to a good group of seniors and wish them the best."

Hagstrom scores two in win

Jessica Hagstrom delivered a pair of goals to help lift the Mahtomedi girls' hockey team to a 5-1 triumph over Hudson in a non-conference contest this past week.

The Zephyrs improved to 2-3 for the young season with the win. Both clubs had 25 shots-on-goal. Mahtomedi goaltender Johanna Ficcadenti turned in a strong performance en route to earning the win.

Kailey Heinl gave the Zephs a 1-0 edge at 3:50 of the opening period, and Hagstrom scored her first of two goals at 15:36 to give them a 2-1 lead.

Sara Krebsbach had a second-period goal, and Kennedy Bergren and Hagstrom added goals in the third.

Mahtomedi will travel to play Holy Angels on Saturday at 3 p.m. at Richfield Ice Arena.

Zephyr boys split pair Host Cretin-Derham Hall had a 38-31 advantage in shots-on-goal and scored a goal in each period on the way to a 3-1 win over the Mahtomedi boys' hockey team last Saturday in a non-conference matchup at Highland Arena.

Joe Forciea's second period power-play marker was the lone dent in the Cretin armor. Jack Heinsch and Tim Kuivinen assisted on Forciea's goal. Will Swenson had 35 saves in the Zephyr nets.

Mahtomedi (1-1) edged Roseville 2-1

at Roseville Arena to begin the week.

They grabbed a 1-0 first-period lead on an unassisted goal by Matt Schwartz. Roseville knotted the game 1-1 on Drew Liberkowski's marker while the Raiders had a 5-on-3 power play.

Kuivinen came through with the game-winner with just 1:33 left. Swanson kicked aside 27 Roseville shots.

Blake Charles had 15 points to pace the White Bear offense, and Kyle Kanipes and Carter Kaun added 11 and 10 points respectively.

Luke Johnson led Cambridge and everyone with 25 points in the setback.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Glass company on 'Bath Crashers' A local glass company is helping some Twin Cities homeowners get a free upscale bathroom.

White Bear Glass is appearing on five episodes of DIY's "Bath Crashers" this fall. The family-run business was chosen to assist in episodes called "Concrete and Sauna" in Brooklyn Park, "Pool Party Bathroom" in Blaine, "Copper Toned," in Plymouth and two titles pending from remodels in Crystal and Minneapolis.

In the show, unsuspecting homeowners are surprised with a new custom bathroom when the host, Matt Muenster and his Bath Crashers crew, ambush them in the home improvement aisle. Three days later, their bathrooms are transformed.

White Bear Glass owner Jeff Meyer said one of the company's remodeling contractors referred him to the producers. "We met them at the Minneapolis Home Show and talked about the glass options we offer, like cast glass. They hired us to install our shower doors in five of their episodes."

White Bear Lake interior designer Lisa Monson also helped design two of the projects.

Contractors doing the work appear on

NAMES IN THE NEWS the Bath Crashers TV show, which airs on the Do It Yourself network at 10 p.m.

Meyer said they installed a reeded cast glass door on a walk-in shower in the Blaine episode and a floating mirror in another. White Bear Glass isn't allowed to leak pictures of the custom bathrooms until all five episodes air. The last one is scheduled early January. Visit diynetwork.com for dates.

Owner Daron Close submitted an application for on-sale wine/3.2 beer and Sunday liquor licenses to the city on behalf of DC Restaurant Group Inc. to serve alcohol at the Meet Market, 1971 Whitaker St. City Planner Anne Kane said Close intends to remove the butchery and deli component and focus on a full-service restaurant. She told the City Council Nov. 24 that Close is working with the building and planning departments to modify the interior to accommodate restrooms and minimum seating for 25.

Close also owns Acqua Restaurants & Bar in White Bear and Forest Lake. The

CITY OF BIRCHWOOD VILLAGE WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE 2015-08-03 (EXPIRES 4/15/2016) AN ORDINANCE ENACTING SECTION 408 OF CITY CODE IN BIRCHWOOD SEXUAL OFFENDERS AND SEXUAL PREDATORS NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that the City Council of the City of Birchwood Village hereby enacts Section 408 of City Code as follows: 408.010: FINDINGS AND INTENT: 408.020: DEFINITIONS: 408.030: RESIDENCE PROHIBITION; PENALTIES; EXCEPTIONS: 408.040: RENTING REAL PROPERTY; PENALTIES: 408.050: SEVERABILITY: 408.010: 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 the public safety. Sexual offenders are extremely likely to use physical violence and to repeat their offenses, and most sexual offenders commit many offenses, have many more victims than are ever reported, and are prosecuted for only a fraction of their crimes. This makes the cost of sexual offender victimization to society at large, while incalculable, clearly exorbitant.

B. It is the intent of this chapter 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 sexual offenders and sexual predators are prohibited from establishing temporary or permanent residence.

408.020: Definitions The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning: DESIGNATED OFFENDER: Any person who has been convicted of a designated sexual offense, regardless of whether adjudication has been withheld, in which the victim of the offense was less than sixteen (16) years of age, or has been categorized as a level III sex offender under Minnesota statutes section 244.052 or successor statute.

DESIGNATED SEXUAL OFFENSE: A conviction, adjudication of delinquency, commitment under Minnesota statutes chapter 253B, or admission of guilt under oath without adjudication involving any of the following offenses: Minnesota statutes sections: 609.342; 609.343; 609.344; 609.345; 609.352; 609.365; 617.23; 617.246; 617.247; 617.293; successor statutes; or a similar offense from another state. PERMANENT RESIDENCE: A place where the person abides, lodges, or resides for fourteen (14) or more consecutive days.

TEMPORARY RESIDENCE: A place where the 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 nonconsecutive days in any month and which is not the person’s permanent residence.

408.030: Residence Prohibition; Penalties; Exceptions A. Prohibited Location of Residence: It is unlawful for any designated offender to establish a permanent residence or temporary residence: 1) within one thousand feet (1,000’) of any school, licensed daycare center, park, or playground; or 2) any other public recreational facilities.

B. Prohibited Activity: It is unlawful for any designated offender to participate in a holiday event involving children less than eighteen (18) years of age, such as distributing candy or other items to children on Halloween. Holiday events in which the offender is the parent or guardian of the children involved, and no nonfamilial children are present, are exempt from this subsection.

C. Measurement of Distance: 1. For purposes of determining the minimum distance separation, the requirement shall be measured by following a straight line from the outer property line of the permanent residence or temporary residence to the nearest outer property line of a school, daycare center, park, playground, or other place where children regularly congregate.

2. The city clerk shall maintain an official map showing prohibited locations as defined by this chapter. The clerk shall update the map at least annually to reflect any changes in the location of prohibited zones.

D. Penalties: Any person violating any provision of this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished as provided in section 408.040 of this code. Each day a person maintains a residence in violation of this chapter constitutes a separate violation.

E. Exceptions: A designated offender residing within a prohibited area as described in subsection A of this section does not commit a violation of this section if any of the following applies: 1. The person established the permanent residence or temporary residence and reported and registered the residence pursuant to Minnesota statutes sections 243.166, 243.167, or successor statute, prior to adoption and publication of this section.

2. The person was a minor when he/she committed the offense and was not convicted as an adult.

3. The person is a minor.

4. The school or daycare center within one thousand feet (1,000’) of the person’s permanent residence was opened after the person established the permanent residence or temporary residence and reported and registered the residence pursuant to Minnesota statutes section 243.166 or 243.167.

5. The residence is also the primary residence of the person’s parents, grandparents, siblings, spouse, or children.

6. The residence is a property owned or leased by the Minnesota department of corrections.

408.040: Renting Real Properties; Penalties A. It is unlawful to let or rent any place, structure, or part thereof, trailer or other conveyance, with the knowledge that it will be used as a permanent residence or temporary residence by any person prohibited from establishing such permanent residence or temporary residence pursuant to this chapter, if such place, structure, or part thereof, trailer or other conveyance, is located within a prohibited location zone described in subsection 408.030 A of this chapter.

B. A property owner’s failure to comply with provisions of this section shall constitute a violation of this section.

C. If a property owner discovers or is informed that a tenant is a designated offender after signing a lease or otherwise agreeing to let the offender

reside on the property, the owner or property manager may evict the offender.

408.050: Severability Should any section, subdivision, clause or other provision of this chapter be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of this chapter as a whole, or of any part thereof, other than the part held to be invalid.

Porsche-loving pair prefers people

BY SARA MARIE MOORE STAFF WRITER

Phil Saari and son Eric Saari of Shoreview have a mutual love for Porsches – and people.

The duo became interested in Porsches 30 years ago, when Eric was just a child. But it involved into a full-blown hobby as years went by.

For over a decade now, Phil and Eric have been finding, buying and reselling Porsches.

Their niche is Porsches from 1973 or older.

“The hunt is a part of the intrigue,” said Phil.

Meeting sellers of the cars has also been part of the fun.

“One of the things we enjoy about the chase of these cars is the awesome people we get to meet,” said Eric. “We end up creating new friendships all over the place.”

Sellers often are sad to see their car go, but entrust it to the Saaris.

“These cars are sometimes holed up in a garage or barn for decades,” said Eric. The Saaris buy cars and do history research which will help them to resell. They also clean neglected cars and sometimes buy parts to resell with it.

A recent acquisition was a rusted 1960 Porsche 356 found in the woods in rural Minnesota. The Saaris found missing parts through other sellers and plan to resell the car, potentially to an overseas buyer. The car was originally black and had a red interior, which was an unusual combination. The Porsche 356 was produced from 1948 to 1965. If fully restored by the buyer, the car could resell in the six-figure range.

Not all the cars the Saaris buy will be resold to buyers who will fully restore them. Some are sold for parts.

“Some cars are destined to become parts cars,” said Phil. “Some with a little TLC can return to the road.”

Meeting buyers is another part of the fun.

Buyers have not been hard to find, and f ly from across the country to look at the cars. The pair have also had a number of buyers from overseas. Currently, there are more Porsches in the United States than in Germany, where they were originally produced.

The Saaris have grown their reputation to such an extent that they are now well known in the national network of Porsche lovers.

“The connection in the community keeps growing,” said Phil.

The Saaris make their hobby as much about the cars as about the people they interact with in the process. They have had the opportunity to meet people from a variety of places and even sold a car to a friend of Jerry Seinfield.

The agent could not reveal the buyer’s name.

But the Saaris get to meet most of their sellers and buyers in person. It’s become a social hobby.

“It evolved to be a hobby not only for us, but for others,” said Phil. “They develop a trust that we are not here to misrepresent.”

The Saaris are now moving past 1973 in their hunt for cars. They currently house a 1974 Porsche 914 “Bumble Bee,” of which only 500 were made. Some of the older cars are becoming too expensive for the Saaris to buy and

resell, as their value has skyrocketed over the last five years. Phil noted that five years ago they may have crushed the 1960 Porsche 356 they found in the woods. But now it’s a keeper.

In their garage is also a 1974 Volkswagen “Thing,” a replica of a German military vehicle. The Saaris enjoy bringing it up to their cabin in the summer.

Phil is retired from a career in human services, in which he worked with people who had disabilities. He now works at Joe’s Ski Shop.

Eric works as a business analyst for Carousel Motor Group.

Porsche Club honors the ‘perfect sports car’

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

The Nord Stern Porsche Club is the branch of the national Porsche Club of America that caters to owners in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Members of this club adore the unique automobile that has its roots in Germany. What is so special about these cars?

“Porsche cars have set the automotive performance standard for over 60 years,” wrote Nord Sten Vice President Paul Ingebrigtsen in an email interview. “They are appreciated for their aesthetics, handling and durability. They are engaging and comfortable to drive and they make a great sound. You can drive a Porsche to a race track on the weekend, f log it for two days, and drive it home. There aren’t many cars that can do that.”

Created by German engineer Ferdinand Porsche in 1931, the vehicle was meant to embody the perfect sports car. According to Ingebrigtsen, there are more than 700 members in the Nord Stern chapter, most of them residents of the Twin Cities area, but some of them residing as far away as the Dakotas, Iowa and Canada.

Besides offering a place for Porsche enthusiasts to talk shop, the club also offers driver

training and education as well as social events such as the annual fall colors drive and full-on racing competitions.

“We just completed an ‘Escape to the Black Hills’ with over 300 cars from all over the country participating,” Ingebrigtsen wrote. “We also offer a great opportunity for those who feel the need for speed and want to learn to drive their Porsches safely at speed on a race track.

We hold driver’s training events with qualified instructors twice a year and driver’s education weekends at Brainerd International Raceway in Minnesota and Road America in Wisconsin.

There is also a national Club Racing program for drivers who want to get a bit more serious.”

The club membership is diverse in interests, but at the core members share their passion for the automobile.

“Like any enthusiast group, we love our cars,” Ingebrigtsen wrote. “The cars are mostly an excuse for a number of really great people to get together, hang out, talk cars, set the world right, and generally have fun. Many in the club will tell you, ‘It’s not just the cars, it’s the people.’”

The Nord Stern Porsche Club is focused on recruiting new members, particularly young people from the next generation of Porsche drivers.

“Like with any club, the longer it is around, the older the membership [grows],” Ingebrigtsen wrote. “Nord Stern has been around for over 50 years. We now have second-, and even third-generation family members carrying on the tradition. So it is great to see younger people come into the club. Some may think that a Porsche is not affordable for a young person, but the truth is that most of us started out with an older, less costly model and you can still do the same. For a few thousand dollars, you can join the fun. For our driver’s training and driver’s education track events, you don’t even have to drive a Porsche.”

Ingebrigtsen said that belonging to the club is valuable for its connection to others who appreciate the variety and uniqueness of Porsche vehicles, and anyone who is interested is welcome.

“We don’t take ourselves too seriously and we welcome anyone interested in Porsches,” Ingebrigtsen wrote. “It is a volunteer organization, so everyone pitches in to make the events happen. You get out of it what you put in.”

Companies warn of possible relocation if rail service goes away

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

HUGO — In a letter to the city, the president of J.L. Schwieters Company made it clear his Hugo company needs the rail spur.

“Access to rail and the availability of outdoor storage are the reasons we chose to move our operations to our Hugo location,” John Schwieters told the city.

The cost of shipping by rail is significantly lower than by truck, and enables his company to receive mill shipments of raw materials and building products at its headquarters and trackside facilities in Bald Eagle Industrial Park, Schwieters said. That provides a significant advantage in his market.

“A temporary repair has now been made to the line, but if the permanent repairs needed to assure its long-term safety and viability are not made, our ability to operate profitably and the value of our properties would both be severely affected,” Schwieters wrote.

“Although moving our operations would be difficult and a major disruption to our businesses, we would have no choice but to look for an alternative location that can assure permanent access to reliable rail transportation.”

The city received a similar letter from Jim Paboucek, president of Loadmaster Lubricants.

He indicated his company ships millions of pounds of custom greases around the world from Hugo and has seen a 50 percent increase in revenue in each of the past two years.

“This growth has required four plant expansions to our extensive production facilities,” noted Paboucek. “Our highly specialized trackside building includes a new $2 million laboratory facility staffed by four chemists and an overall workforce that has doubled in the past year.”

The Loadmaster executive indicated that due to their rapid growth, his company is considering construction of a new 40,000- to 50,000-square-foot plant expansion.

DEBRA NEUTKENS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

A Minnesota Commercial train passes through downtown White Bear Lake on its way to Hugo. The city of Hugo has applied for grant money from the state to keep the track operating for several businesses that rely on the service.

“Currently we receive more than 200 rail tank cars of oil and other raw materials a year out of which we build our greases.

Continued rail access is critical to our operations and is the primary cause of our location in the Hugo Industrial Park. If the permanent repairs necessary to keep the line safe and reliable are not made soon, that fact will certainly weigh heavily on our decision whether to expand in our Hugo location or relocate to another state where we can be assured of dependable freight rail service.”

In response to the letters warning of a possible move, the city has submitted an application to the state asking for more than $1.1 million in bonding money. The funds would be earmarked for permanent rail improvements along the 10-mile track.

Many short-line railroads around

the state are at risk of closing for lack of maintenance, noted City Administrator Bryan Bear. He told members of the Economic Development Authority (EDA) that a program will be proposed to the Legislature that prevents these types of circumstances.

The proposal would duplicate a Wisconsin or Iowa program that uses state funds dedicated to rail repairs.

Bear informed the EDA that the two companies using the track both anticipate hiring and expansion.

“They would possibly relocate if the service stopped,” he said.

When asked by board member Mike Gallivan if National Recycling Inc. plans to return to using the track, Bear said he didn’t know.

“It’s still a possibility, but I haven’t heard anything.”

In other updates to the EDA at its Nov. 17 meeting, City Planner

Rachel Juba noted: • Clearwater Cove just received a building permit to start construction on a model home at its new housing development south of Frenchman Road.

• DigniCare has not applied for a building permit yet to start construction on its senior facility.

They are still working with MnDOT on Highway 61 access, Juba said.

• The city’s downtown Egg Lake property is generating little interest.

Juba said staff may have to “rethink” its marketing strategy for the land. The city also closed on purchase of a house at 14715 Forest Blvd. N. The property connects to the city-owned properties and staff felt the area will be a nice piece of land for future redevelopment.
