Survey objective: support existing businesses BY KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Playing outside on a frozen field While waiting for the fish to bite, a group of ice anglers leap up for a pass during an impromptu game of football on the frozen surface of White Bear Lake Saturday, Jan. 9. Like their professional counterparts, they didn’t let the frigid temperature of near zero degrees stop them from tossing the pigskin around outside in the elements.
VADNAIS HEIGHTS — Volunteers plan to visit approximately 40 of the city's businesses with a number of questions. Their objective is to learn about the challenges businesses are facing and to develop recommendations on ways the community can better support its businesses. For the second time, the city and the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation will participate in the Business Retention and Expansion Survey Program offered by the University of Minnesota's Extension Office. While community leaders tend to focus their efforts on attracting new businesses, the BR&E survey aims at helping those leaders understand the vitality and growth potential of existing businesses. According to a memo to the City Council from Community Development Director Carie Fuhrman, research estimates that more than 85 percent of all new jobs are created not by new businesses but rather by existing businesses that are expanding. Communities also usually are more successful in enticing new businesses when their existing businesses are SEE SURVEY, PAGE 8A
Figure skater makes national chammpionships elite division debut on hometown ice BY KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR
Daniel Kulenkamp has a modest goal for his debut in the most elite division of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. “I just want to go out and skate as well as I can and enjoy the experience skating in front of my home crowd,” said the 20-year-old Mahtomedi native. The figure skater has competed in national championships several times before, placing as high as fi fth. But this is his fi rst time as a contender in the top senior division, competing against 19 of the top male figure skaters in
the country. After many achievements as a teenager in the novice and junior levels, Kulenkamp opted to enter the senior division this season in hopes he could make it to the national championships next week and get to perform with the best of the best in his home state. Kulenkamp realizes it's unlikely he'll earn a medal in his first outing competing against the likes of 2015 runner-up Adam Rippon and 2013 champion Max Aaron. It's a dream come true just to advance past the regionals his first year in the top division and make it to nationals the year it's held on his home turf, he said.
He's especially excited for his short program, choreographed with recently retired Olympian Douglas Razzano, to the tune of “I won't give up” by Jason Mraz. Kulenkamp described it as “probably my favorite program ever.” Kulenkamp will have a large crowd of friends and family cheering him on, including many associates from the rink on which he grew up skating: the White Bear Sports Center. He took his first skating lesson at age 4. His dad was a hockey coach and wanted his eldest son to play hockey. “It didn’t turn out SEE FIGURE SKATER, PAGE 8A

Soaring to new heights: aerial performer opens school
Editor’s note: The Press conducts email interviews from time to time with White Bear area natives doing interesting things in places near and far.
Name: Stacey Kigner Age: 28 Hometown: White Bear Township Education: 2006 graduate of Mounds Park Academy Current location: New Haven, Connecticut Q: Tell us about yourself; how might neighbors and friends remember you? After high school, I attended Vassar College in New York with a major in English in 2010. Growing up I played softball, soccer, and basketball and I hated them all. I enjoyed my time on various downhill racing teams a bit more. I spent most of my adolescence alone in my room either reading or writing. I left grad school shortly after starting for a number of reasons, but the final push was definitely my growing interest in aerial circus arts. I am married; my husband is a mechanical engineer, but is also a circus performer. We met at a fire spinning retreat in Connecticut. I started the school with approximately $6,000 in the bank and $6,000 in expenses.
Where
Q: How did you start in aerial performance and when did
One size fits all.
you decide to open the circus school? I started taking aerial classes straight out of college after moving to Brooklyn. It was something I’d wanted to do since seeing Cirque Du Soleil in Minneapolis with my family in middle school. Unfortunately, at the time I don’t think my parents were aware that Circus Juventas (a school in St. Paul) existed. When I started college, one of the first things that sprang out at me (literally, they did a surprise show) was the school’s fire spinning/circus club, the Barefoot Monkeys. During freshman week a few members came up to me and asked if I would try a partner acrobatics move with them because I was small. I ended up enjoying the partner balancing immensely and joined the club right away. I served on the executive board from sophomore year until graduation and was treasurer and later president. The decision to open Air Temple was initially a longterm goal that became a very short-term goal since a lot of factors were lining up in a way that I hadn’t anticipated much more quickly than I thought they would.
Where
Q: What are your overall career goals? I’d like to make Air Temple a really concrete, well-rounded learning space for circus in New England. Right now we have a great aerial program, and I’d like to make our ground skills (for things like tumbling, partner acrobatics, and hand balancing) a much

CIRCUS SCHOOL: Young entrepreneur from White Bear Township prefers heights FROM PAGE 2A
more on the artistic side of circus – writing, directing and performing in professional shows. Q: What is the highlight of your career thus far? Definitely being featured on (the PBS show) “Start Up” was a huge and very unexpected highlight. Seeing both of the shows that I’ve produced go off so well and be really well received has also been amazing. Q: What has been most rewarding about your career and what has been most challenging? The community that’s sprung up around Air Temple has been the best part of this endeavor. The student showcases that we do continue to be my favorite thing about the school. Seeing these students, a lot of them who come in very nervous and weak and not trusting their own bodies, perform a piece that they’ve written themselves and put months of work into is absolutely amazing. I would say the logistics have been the most challenging. Creating a circus community where there isn’t one means a lot of potential business opportunity, but it’s also very hard. Also trying to find a space that I can afford, versus what the studio requires (a large open square footage, generally ceilings in excess of 20 feet) has been really challenging. We’re expanding for the second time, and hopefully the last time. Our new space is amazing, and a huge step up, but it’s also extremely expensive. Q: How did you come up with the name Air Temple Arts? It is a reference to one of my favorite shows, “Avatar the Last Air Bender.” In it there are a group of people called Air Benders. They can control the element of air and higher-level ones fly around and such. Anyway, they lived and trained at these places called Air Temples and I thought it was really fitting, and I didn’t want a more typical name that was boring but descriptive of what we do. P Q: What do you teach at the circus school? You have also launched a new production company — Cirqularity - tell us about that. Personally, I teach aerial silks, aerial hoop, trapeze, Spanish web and aerial partnering. At Air Temple we also teach Chinese pole, corde lisse, handstands, contortion, partner acrobatics, tumbling, and juggling, etc. The goal with Cirqularity is to have a bit of separation from Air Temple, have it be a more professional thing, so
that people recognize the difference between a student show and a professional show. There is some overlap of course, though. A show that I’m putting up in February is a collaboration between Air Temple and Cirqularity. It’s a professional show, but I held auditions, so some of my very talented students are performing in that. Q: I understand you used Kickstarter to produce your first show. Did that go as planned? I did! And I used IndieGoGo to finance my next show. Both were really successful and met their fundraising goals, and also did really well in terms of ticket sales. Both were definitely great experiences, but I won’t be using crowdfunding for future shows. Crowdfunding is a ton of work, especially with the rewards, and there’s only so many times you can ask your community for money. Special Relativity did really well with ticket sales though, so I managed to start a nest egg for future shows, which was the goal. Q: Do you have advice for area students considering a similar career? As far as performing, it’s important to realize that it’s extremely competitive, and that you will have an “expiration date,” as ridiculous as that may be. For something like circus you also have a pretty high risk of injury, so I think it’s important to have a fallback plan, but hopefully one that includes your passion. I think having a college education these days is also extremely helpful. As for starting a business, just do it, but make sure you’re doing it smart! I did a lot of research, talked to people in the field, and put together a business plan and crunched a lot of numbers before going for it. When I had done that, and it seemed like it was good, but I was still waffling and going “maybe in five years,” that’s when I stopped and said “wait, what exactly is stopping me from doing this now?” and the answer was “nothing.” That’s when I decided to just go for it. I think owning a business is great if you want to be in charge. It’s definitely not a safe career path though, and I find it very stressful most days. Q: What do you like to do when you're not working? Do your parents still live in White Bear? How often do you come home? Right now I’m never not working! I didn’t realize owning a business that I would actually do the least amount of work when I was just starting out. The bigger Air Temple gets the more work

I have. I did just hire a studio manager, though, so I’m very excited to maybe get some of that free time back. In the last two years, about 90 percent of my free time went towards writing a book, called "The Sum of All Paths," which I just published in September. Any free time I have I try to be writing, but I also love to travel, and those generally go together pretty well. My parents still live in White Bear and they are upset because I haven’t been back to visit in over a year. Their names are Laurie and Jonathan and they own New Directions Inc. Q: Do you miss anything about White Bear or Minnesota? White Bear is such a great place, and Minnesota is definitely the best state, so I’m in a semiconstant state of homesickness. I pretty much miss everything except those days below zero in the winter! Q: When did you move to Connecticut and why did you pick the state to start your business? I moved to Connecticut when I left grad school to see if I could make this relationship with my now-husband work, and to see how the circus thing would pan out. It was definitely a pretty rash decision, I think we’d been dating maybe a month and I’d just been doing aerials for a few months, but I absolutely needed to get out of New York City; I couldn’t stand it. I was trying to decide between Connecticut with Nick,
and Boston, and I picked Connecticut because Nick said I could stay with him while I figured out my job situation, and fast forward five years to now. I chose Connecticut because that’s where I was living, and was in no position financially or logistically to move, and it was the only state around without a circus studio. Q: Per-capita income in Connecticut is the highest in the country, making the state a great environment for startups to flourish. Can you comment on that? Um, I would say that the opposite is actually true — that having the highest per-capita is part of what makes it really hard for startups. Connecticut also has the second largest income gap in the nation between the top 1 percent and the bottom 99 percent — there’s pretty much no middle class in Connecticut. The taxes on small businesses in Connecticut are pretty insane as well, and there are very few government resources for small businesses. I’ve never once gotten a response in any attempt to take advantage of the
services that are supposedly offered to small businesses through the New Haven small business service center, and there was a point where I was calling every day. That being said, we’re actually moving one town over to Woodbridge
and they’ve been really welcoming and we’re not even there yet! The Woodbridge Economic Development Committee has actually already reached out to me, so I feel like the move was definitely the right call.

E HAVE BEEN to Branson, Mo. several times for the wonderful family shows, but many people have said we should go there at #HRISTMAS TIME In December ’15 we did the 10-1/2 hour drive to Branson to take in eight shows in 2-1/2 days. Friends FROM %AU #LAIRE 7IS JOINED US AND WE MET FRIENDS from Blair, Neb. in Branson. My wife, Kathy had purchased tickets in advance for four shows. For example Jonah, at the Sight and Sound Theater ended this year and will be replaced with Moses in April. The Andy Williams Moon River Theatre hosts three of the original Lennon Sisters and the generation of the Osmond About the second Brothers. The Branson Showboat is a dinner and show on a sternwheelTown er that is very well done. Gene Johnson )T WAS CLEAR THE #HRISTMAS LIGHTS AND EMPHASIS ON THE #HRISTMAS STORY MADE THE $ECEMBER VISIT COLORFUL AND ENJOYABLE In Branson, the hotels and motels have lists of the shows that are going on throughout the week. Shows begin at 10:00 a.m. through 8:00 p.m. so as we had free time we were able to ďŹ t in additional shows. We FOUND THE VOCALIST 'EORGE $YER VERY TALENTED ! #HInese acrobat show was breathtaking. The Hughes Brothers is the world’s largest family of entertainers ON STAGE AND THEY DID A REMARKABLE JOB )T WAS FAST moving and they were very talented. We did note that there are very few ďŹ rst line entertainers now. Most of the shows tend to be tributes to those who were on top of the charts. It’s a great place for us to visit every three to ďŹ ve years. ENROUTE HOME FROM Branson, approaching Minnesota on I-35, we needed a rest stop. There was an appropriate sign, “Modern Restroomsâ€? and we were happy to take that exit. The next thing we REALIZED THE VISITOR CENTER AND RESTROOMS WERE IN a restored barn. I’ve been trying to ďŹ gure out what THEY MEANT BY hMODERN RESTROOMS v 0ERHAPS IT relates to several rest stops for truck drivers to sleep and they do not have the complete facilities. It gives me another topic to tease my Iowa friends about. ANOTHER YEAR HAS gone by. Welcome, 2016. We were discussing resolutions the other day. It is pretty rare that they succeed. !NOTHER IDEA THAT CAME UP WAS TO SET ONE OBJECTIVE for each month of the year. For example, in January put all your legal documents together. Be sure to have a will, a health care directive and a power of attorney in place. Of course, all of these details would be depending on age. Another month might be a good time to plan a summer vacation by researching and planning the dates of travel. Another month might be devoted to grandchildren and ďŹ nding special times to be with them. Another month you might look at your resources and plan the allocation for home improvements, car replacement, updating the lake home, etc. It’s another approach to family communication, what is important, and when will it ďŹ t the schedule for accomplishment in the New Year. A LOT OF different pieces of information cross my desk, come online, and are discovered through reading. Here are a couple items that come under THE HEADING #ONUNDRUM WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT IS PUZZLING AND CONFUSING 7E ARE ADVISED TO NOT JUDGE ALL -USLIMS BY THE ACTIONS OF A FEW LUNATICS BUT WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO JUDGE all gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. We never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money! What’s interesting is the ďŹ rst group “worked forâ€? their money, but the second didn’t. Why are we cutting beneďŹ ts for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or beneďŹ ts to illegal aliens.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pet issues What is the value of a state senator who, in response to a constituent's concerns, replies, “I don't share your enthusiasm.� Do we elect our representatives to pick and choose which issues they want to support? Do they only support those issues that are presented to them by the governor? If they only support their pet issues, then why do we have elections? We could sell seats in the Legislature to the highest bidder. It would lower taxes. We would end the conjecture about big money owning government. We would know it does. Lyle Peterson White Bear Lake
Accidental connection I have no idea how, but I connected with your website this morning [Jan. 9]. I live in Havre, Montana. I moved from White Bear Lake over 40 years ago. Many of my family still live around there. My mother, Mary Vandeberg, lives in the Lighthouse of Mahtomedi senior community. Two of my younger brothers, Bob and Ed, still live in the family home on Bald Eagle Lake. There is some new snow here, but not a great deal. It was a fairly nice drive out here to the Bear Paw Mountains and Stone Child College. Anyway, it was just kind of nice to connect to your website by accident. So I will also say hello to relatives and old friends and old schoolmates from St. Mary’s of the Lake School. Gerard Vandeberg Havre, Montana

FIGURE SKATER: Mahtomedi native is training and going to school full time in Arizona FROM PAGE 1A
former Olympic pairs skater. The entire Kulenkamp family now resides in Scottsdale and Daniel's younger brother, Grant, age 17, is also a skater. The elder Kulenkamp skater took a Kulenkamp year off school and began studying at Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University this fall. Even with a year off, he's ahead of most his age because he attended the University of Minnesota as a post secondary enrollment option student while he was in high school. He's pursuing a computer science degree and taking a full course load this year. In between classes and training he also teaches skating lessons at the Ice Den. A scholarship lowers his university tuition, but a job is a necessity for a budding ice skater to fund many expenses such as ice time and travel. He's accepting donations to help fund his trip back home for nationals; see danielkulenkamp. com for details. Needless to say, Kulenkamp doesn't have much free time. He's rarely tempted, and not for long, to give up skating in favor of a more traditional college experience. By the end of each time he takes a few days off, he's “itching to get back on the ice,” he said. A highlight of 2015 was land-
quite the way he planned,” the younger Kulenkamp joked. By age 10 he was competing, by age 12 he was helping teach lessons at the sports center and by age 14 he was competing nationally. His top national finishes were fifth in the novice division in 2013, 13th in the junior division in 2014 and eighth in the junior division last year. A highlight of his skating career was being selected by a U.S. Figure Skating selection committee as a member of Team USA at the international Junior Grand Prix in Croatia. Getting to put on a Team USA jacket for the first time was a moment he'll never forget. “It’s an incredible feeling to wear something that represents so much,” he wrote on his website. “It doesn’t just mean getting to represent your country, or to compete internationally, it represent years of hard work and sacrifice. Not only from yourself, but from your family, friends, and supporters.” He was “over the moon” with his performance and ninthplace finish at his first international performance, which he said he hopes will be the first of many. In fall of 2014, Kulenkamp moved from Mahtomedi to Scottsdale, Arizona to train at the Ice Den with coaches Doug and Lara Ladret. Doug is a

ing a triple axel for the first time in competition. How does he keep focused and calm as he's heading into a big jump? He tries to clear his mind except for one key word symbolizing the trickiest aspect of the jump. “If you think too much things fall apart,” he said.
In the New Year, I want wonderful friends, engaging activities, and a lovely, home-like environment. And I want to leave shoveling, home maintenance, and upkeep behind. IT’S TIME FOR GABLE PINES Gable Pines is bringing hospitality-focused, service-rich Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care to Vadnais Heights.
And if the jump doesn't go well? “You have to forget it and move on. You have to compartmentalize.” For 2016, a quadruple jump is at the top of his goal list. He'll need a quadruple if he wants to earn a national medal and invites to international competition at the senior level, he said.
Of course his ultimate goal is to make it to the Olympics. But next week he won't be worrying about medaling or his future. He's concentrating on delivering a performance worthy of making those who came to cheer him on proud. “There's no expectations for me. No pressure,” he said.

succeeding, she contended. “A healthy and vibrant local economy depends on the well-being of a community’s existing businesses,” she wrote. “Thus, efforts to help local businesses survive and grow in the local community are key to successful economic development.” Fuhrman and Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Ling Becker described 2016 as an opportune time to conduct the business survey for a few reasons: It might provide information that would be valuable as the city updates its comprehensive plan this year. It also would pair nicely with the telephone survey of residents the city plans to conduct this year to collect opinions on a range of issues. Becker added it will also guide VHEDC leaders as they update the organization’s strategic plan. The city is paying $ 3,500 of the fee charged by the University of Minnesota Extension Office to assist with the survey, including supplying survey questions, compiling the survey data and preparing the final report. Xcel Energy is donat-
ing $1,500 and Connexus Energy is contributing $2,000 to fund the remainder of the cost. Becker noted that the least costly of the U of M pricing options, requiring the most local volunteer hours, was chosen. A task force of city, business and other community leaders has formed and soon will begin training for business visits. The plan is for a few task force members to visit from 35 to 40 businesses between mid-February and mid-March. Which businesses they will ask to visit is still being determined. They hope to visit the largest employers representing all of the business sectors and all regions of the city, Becker said. Project leaders will contact businesses that fit the criteria. Any business leader who especially wants to be considered should contact Becker. The task force visitors will come with a long list of questions about the businesses. The results will be aggregated before they are anonymously released to the larger public. In addition to quantitative data, the visitors will hear any concerns or suggestions the business leaders might have about the local economic conditions. Their comments will be shared with the task force.
“It’s also an opportunity to build relationships,” Becker said. “It’s really going to give us an excellent springboard for where to go in the future.” After the visits are completed and the results are tabulated, the task force members will gather for a half-day to discuss the results and develop a few recommendations. A written report will then be prepared. A community meeting to present the results and the recommendations also will be held, most likely in June. The city and VHEDC conducted its first BR&E survey in 2005. Concerns identified then included difficulty recruiting qualified staff. Business leaders desired more median-priced and rental housing, improved transit services, and more restaurants, retailers and other hospitality businesses in the City Center District. The 2005 recommendations included upgrading the VHEDC website, hosting a gathering between businesses and vocational training institutions and encouraging a mix of retail and housing development and a hotel in the City Center.

Every fall for 18 years, John Udstuen has led a group of weather-resistant volunteers who give time and talent to prepare Hugo's 42 miles of trails for the upcoming snowmobile season. After the snow flies, Udstuen and other Hugo Snowmobile Club members spend long, tedious hours driving a

slow-moving groomer to maintain the trails. The Star Trail Association is applying for a $75,000 federal grant to offset the cost of a new-but-used groomer, which runs about $100,000. Udstuen said they won't know until April if the grant will be awarded, but feels Hugo has a "leg up." It's important to many area businesses to be linked in, Udstuen not-
ed, and when they close, there is concern they'll lose sled traffic and the dollars it brings.
"Snowmobilers buy food, beverages and fuel," noted club member Dave Kreiner. "It's

a destination sport and businesses want to be near a trail." Kreiner joined the Hugo club because he wants "to give back for the good trails I ride. Nothing is free and we want to keep the sport alive." Not that it's in danger of dying. "It's growing," he said. In fact, the White Bear Lake resident, who jokes that he's on his sixth or seventh midlife crisis, just bought a new sled with a two-up seat so he can take his wife. He became involved in the club a few years after moving to Hugo in 1993 because the "guys who ran it weren't doing anything." Not all of the club volunteers live in Hugo. Club members drive from Lake Elmo, White Bear Township and White Bear Lake. All have an obvious passion for snowmobiling. "We do it for the communi-
ty and the love of the sport," Udstuen said. There are 180 miles of trails in Washington County managed by the Star Trail Association, of which Hugo is a member. Hugo's club not only maintains the 42 miles in Hugo, but 7 miles in Forest Lake, as well. The city remains a critical hub for snowmobile enthusiasts. Major trails that merge by the Blacksmith Lounge can be ridden to Canada, Duluth and Wisconsin. As Udstuen likes to remind people, "we are the last outlet north to get out of here." If you see him on his Ski-Doo Renegade or burning the midnight oil in the groomer, you might want to wave. He and his dedicated volunteers have earned a heavily gloved pat on the back.

Best places for cross-country skiing/snowshoeing this winter BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER
After a long, warm, wet fall, Minnesotans finally got the snowfall they've been waiting for, and the time is ripe for outdoor winter sports. For those who prefer a vigorous walk to a downhill adrenaline rush, we've compiled a list of locations and descriptions of places around the metro where you can find cross-country skiing and showshoe trails and rentals. Regulations Snowshoeing has no restrictions, but cross-country skiing requires participants age 16 or older to have a Great Minnesota Ski Pass from the Minnesota DNR. Ski passes can usually be bought along with rental equipment, and cost $6 per day or $20 per year. Skiers should carry their passes with them whenever they are out on groomed trails in state parks, state forests or state trails. You can also buy passes online at licenses.dnr.state.mn.us or over the phone at 1-888-665-4236. HUGO Irish Avenue Park offers a 2-mile trail for cross-country skiing.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Sex offender returned to prison A Level 3 sex offender who briefly resided in Birchwood is back in prison through at least mid-August. Joseph Charles Zacher last week was ordered back to the Stillwater Correctional Facility for eight months for violating the terms of his intensive supervised release. Zacher was convicted twice of criminal sexual conduct and moved in with family members in Birchwood on Nov. 30. He was taken into custody on Dec. 22. A Minnesota Department of Corrections spokesperson said a hearing was held last week and determined Zacher had violated three conditions of his release: using a device with Internet access, using or possessing intoxicants and failing to follow a probation agent's instructions.
charge was dropped as part of a plea deal. The deal with the Ramsey County Attorney's Office also calls for a sentence of nearly 11 years in prison. According to the criminal complaint, Gustafson called 911 and reported the 3-month-old baby in his care wasn't breathing. First responders were able to revive the baby but she died a few days later. The medical examiner found that the infant had been smothered and had multiple bruises, hemorrhages and rib fractures that were indicative of ongoing abuse. Information from the child's mother and evidence inside their residence at Birch Park Apartments contradicted Gustafson's claims that he woke up and found the baby unresponsive in her crib.
Boyfriend pleads guilty in infant's death A man admitted he killed his girlfriend's baby in their White Bear Lake apartment in 2014. Austin Bryan Gustafson, 28, pleaded guilty last week to first-degree manslaughter. A second-degree murder
Alleged package thief arrested again with new accomplice The White Bear Lake Police Department made another package theft arrest Jan. 5. One of the two suspects was arrested for the same crime in the same city less than a month prior.
The suspects in the latest incident are Erling Soren Holdahl, 39, of White Bear Lake, and Melanie Ann Orme, 29, of Maplewood. They both have been charged with felony mail theft. According to the WBLPD incident report: A resident on Rishworth Lane reported witnessing a package theft from a neighbor's home. The witness provided a description of the vehicle and after a vehicle that matched the description was seen at one of the suspects’ homes, a search warrant was executed. The contents of the stolen package were located inside the vehicle. Holdahl also is facing another felony mail theft charge in connection with a theft of packages from a residence on 10th Street on Dec. 18. A neighbor also witnessed that theft and provided a vehicle description. Police officers located and stopped the vehicle, occupied by Holdahl and a Kendra Sue Johnson, and the reportedly stolen packages were allegedly found in the vehicle. Kristine Goodrich

Matoska Memories LOOKING BACK Week of January 10 – January 16, 2016 1916 Last Saturday evening there was a gathering at the Auditorium an enthusiastic company of about fifty to discuss matters pertaining to the permanent organization of the “White Bear Athletic Club.” F. H. Murray explained the object of the club was to push for athletic games of hockey and baseball, and suggested as means for maintenance of a skating rink that they be maintained at the village expense and thus provide a safe and convenient place for the boys and girls to skate and relive the parents from the anxiety caused by having the young folks on the lake… 1941 Birch Lake News – Mrs. Johanna Johnson and Mrs. D. M. Johnson and son Eugene were guests December 23, at the home of Mrs. Jos. Bauer. The occasion was Mrs. Bauer’s birthday…. 1966 Mr. and Mrs. Kennard Lundeen were pleasantly surprised when at 11:41 p.m. Mary Jo made her debut at St. John’s
Hospital. Mary Jo weighed in at 6 lbs.1 oz. on December 24, 1965. Completing the Lundeen family at 518 Seventh Street in White Bear Lake are Daniel, 13, Cynthia, 11, Susan, 7, and Sandra, 6. 1991 The water level of White Bear Lake was down approximately three feet, according to Duane Shodeen, the seven county metro regional fisheries manager. The shoreline had receded almost 50-100 feet and vegetation was sprouting up in the recently exposed sand. However, he said, White Bear residents and wildlife have adjusted to the new conditions….Pumping water out of White Bear Lake to water lawns or for other any purpose other than emergency pumping by the fire department is now illegal. The White Bear Lake Conversation District passed an ordinance at its April 24 meeting that makes it a petty misdemeanor to violate this ordinance and will be enforced by the Ramsey County Water Patrol. They had been considering such an ordinance for several months because of the extreme low lake level….. Looking Forward to the Past

Raiders pucksters turn tables on White Bear Lake girls BY MARK AGUIRRE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Life in the toughest girls' hockey conference in the state is always eventful. It's usually a matchup with a top 20 team, or a case of trying to fend off an upset-minded challenger. The White Bear Lake crew skated head-on into Suburban East Conference leader Cretin-Derham Hall last Saturday night, a team that sits alone on top the SEC ladder with a 9-1-1 record. White Bear had served up their lone defeat earlier this year. With the extra incentive present, the Raiders sailed past the Bears 4-2, outshooting White Bear
38-26 in the process. The Bears spotted the Raiders a 2-0 lead, and that proved fatal. A Kailee Snyder goal at 11:17 of the opening period trimmed the Cretin advantage to 2-1, but Cretin added a power play marker late in the frame to bump their lead to 3-1. Sally Moris brought White Bear back to 3-2 at 14:26 of the middle period. The score remained that way until Makayla Lenz beat Bear goalie Calla Frank with 5:19 remaining in the third period. Frank had 34 saves and Megan Meyers 24 in the nets for Cretin. Jerry Kwapick's team blanked Park 5-0 at Cottage Grove Arena to get the week started. Sarah Moy and Ashley Healy
both had two goals and an assist, and Abi Delarosa had a single goal. Sam Klemann had 14 saves en route to the shutout, and the Bears finished with a big 44-14 advantage in shots-ongoal, including 17-2 in the third period. Cretin (9-1-1, 14-4-1) has a four point lead over Forest Lake (7-1-1, 11-5-2) in the SEC entering this week's play. Mounds View (6-4-1, 9-6-3) is in third, followed by East Ridge (5-4-1, 11-61), White Bear (5-4-1, 11-62), Stillwater (5-4-1, 6-10-1), Roseville (5-5, 8-10). The Bears will square off against Mounds View on Saturday night at the Super Rink.
Zephyr boys hoops 3-for-3 A trio of victories in as many games made for perhaps the best week of the season for the Mahtomedi boys' basketball team. The Zephyrs bested visiting non-conference foe Hermantown on Saturday for their fourth consecutive win. Parker Fox had 20 points in a 74-65 triumph, with Shayne Frost adding 13 points, Will Tuttle had 15 points, and Kaleb Sickmeier nine. Tom Madison had a game-high 27 points for Hermantown. Fox had 21 points, Frost 18, and Lucas Buller nine in a 75-56 rout of Hill-Murray in a Metro East Conference matchup. The Zephs worked to a 43-25 advantage
at the break, and were in control the rest of the way. Mahtomedi began the week by pasting St. Thomas Academy 71-50. Fox went off for 25 points in the victory, and Jacob Martin had 11 points. Frost finished with 10. Tartan (6-0, 11-3) is alone on top the conference, followed by North (5-1, 10-4), Mahtomedi (5-1, 9-4), and Hastings (3-2, 5-8). The Zephyrs visit St. Anthony on Thursday, and entertain St. Paul Como Park on Friday evening.
Mahtomedi grapplers make busy return to the mat
After an extended break from competition, fi lled with tough practices, the Mahtomedi wrestling team returned to action in the new year last Thursday at the South Saint Paul Triangular. The Zephyrs defeated St. Paul Johnson 69 - 11. Earning victories for the 113 Bryce Fitzpatrick 9-4 over Spencer Chang, 120 Nate Kujawa by fall over Cher Kong, 152 Devin Fitzpatrick by fall over eighth ranked Luiw Cirilo, 160 Mitch Bradley by fall over Jamar Adedeji, and 170 Evan Lawrence by fall over Tavao Robison. The Zephyrs were also aided by six forfeits in the match. In the second match of the night, the Zephyrs lost a hard fought dual to conference opponent South Saint Paul, 30-43. Earning victories in the defeat were 103 Reid Lawrence by fall over Camron Wigand, 152 Devin Fitzpatrick by fall over Isaac Contreras, 170 Evan Lawrence by fall over Damien Severson, 182 Ben
Nelson by fall over Nick Gallegos, and 195 TJ Tumbleson by fall over Nick Jerikovosky. On Saturday, the Zephyrs traveled to the Centennial Duals for three matches against quality competition. The Zephyrs opened the duals with a 49-26 victory over Rosemount. In the second round Mahtomedi lost to 10th-ranked AAA St Francis 18-65 and in the fi nal match of the duals Mahtomedi lost to 11th-ranked AAA Centennial 30-45. Head Coach Joe Leif said the Zephyrs responded to the team’s hard work over their break and improved during the battles with the tough competition. Tommy Firminger and Captain Devin Fitzpatrick led the Zephyrs with 3-0 records. Captain John Vanstrum, Captain Evan Lawrence, and Ben Nelson were 2-1. Submitted by Matt Oswald
Bears hoops take 2 of 3 The Bear boys team closed out 2015 with an overtime win over Plainview-Elgin-Millville in the Rochester Rotary tournament on Dec. 30. After dropping their first contest in the tournament to Rochester Lourdes (Dec. 29) 37-55, the very next day the Bears turned it around with their 73-71 win over PEM. Freshman Sam Schwartz knocked down five threes en route to scoring 21 points while Seniors Kyle Kanipes and Kevin May took over in overtime. While in OT Kanipes hit his fourth three of the game and May added a three along with two free throws for the final lead. Kanipes finished the
game with 18 points and May with 12. After a 31-58 loss to Forest Lake on Friday Jan. 8, again the very next day, the Bears turned it around in their Saturday game with Totino-Grace. T-G entered the contest ranked No. 7 in the latest high school basketball 3A poll. The Bears held a tight 23-21 lead at the half. The second half it looked like the Bears may pull away with a 10 point lead with eight minutes left but the Eagles' full court pressure wore the Bears down and in the waning minutes the lead changed hands multiple times. After a big defensive stop and the scored locked at
58, Kevin May drove the length of the court and was able to put up an attempt with enough time for senior Matt Lemay to tip in the miss for the 60-58 win just before the final buzzer. T-G junior Jackson Kreuser led all scorers with 19 points. The balanced White Bear attack was led by Sam Schwartz with 14, while sophomore Austin Schochet added 13, Kyle Kanipes finished with 10 and May added 9. The Bears are on the road this week at East Ridge Tuesday (after press time) and Cretin-Durham Hall Friday. Submitted by Keith Lockwood

show business is negative feedback, but I think we're strong enough as a family to overcome these obstacles. Hopefully we can look back on it as a fun, positive memory.” “Hockey Moms” will run for 11 episodes, lasting until March. It airs on Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. with second-chance showings on Mondays at 1 a.m. It is also scheduled to air at 10 p.m. following the AA Championship Girls High School Hockey game on Feb. 20, and the season finale is scheduled to air immediately before the AA Championship Boys High School Hockey game on March 5.

played collegiate hockey at Gustavus Adolphus, and are familiar with the immense popularity of hockey and devotion to hockey culture in Minnesota. “We're a hockey mecca here, so it's a very Minnesota-based idea,” Marty said. The most fun part for Marty is seeing how the material is edited for television, making some events appear more dramatic, and omitting other less significant moments. “The magic happens in the editing room,” she said. She stressed that all of the scenes are unscripted, and not even the producers know the course that future episodes will take. “They're literally making episode two right now,” she said. “They're going right along with us, and we don't know how the season's going to play out.” One of the biggest changes Marty has noticed is the sudden attention: in a downtown restaurant she regularly visits, a bartender asked for her autograph. She has had interviews with several television stations and newspapers, but also noted that there is a dark side to receiving so much attention from the press. “I'm fully aware I've set myself up for judgment and criticism,” Marty said. “But they don't know me, so I'm focusing on staying grounded and avoiding commentary that doesn't serve my purpose.

When Stillwater’s Gwen Marty heard about a new TV show calling for locals, she knew she'd be perfect for the part. Onscreen she is described as a “sexy, spunky, spastic, broke mother in the middle of a midlife crisis,” but most of all, Marty wants viewers to know that there's more to her than meets the eye. The show “Hockey Moms,” which first aired on Dec. 26, is produced by McCally-Lee Entertainment for KSTC-TV 45. Officially termed as a docu-series, the show follows the unscripted drama, successes and lifestyles of four Minnesota and Wisconsin mothers whose children play on school hockey teams. Marty believes that part of the reason she won the role was because of her commitment to portraying an honest reality. “I told them that I would be brutally honest about my issues in life,” she said. “Viewers have something they can relate to. It's not like a Hollywood reality show. I'm willing to expose myself and my issues in hope that anyone who has suffered—with the economy, with raising teenage kids, with aging—can relate to it.” In addition to the Marty family, “Hockey Moms” showcases the lives of Shontell Parnell of Cambridge-Isanti, Angie Goren
of Rosemount and Shay Chamberlain of Menomonie, Wisconsin. Marty's son Truman, 14, plays for the Stillwater Ponies. Marty said the team has been nothing but supportive since filming began. “The team has been great,” Marty said. “The boys play harder and better when the cameras are around.” The crew only films home games, and Marty said that apart from being aware of the extra attention, the team hardly notices. “It hasn't interfered with games at all,” she said. The episodes are filmed on an ongoing basis, following the families through the hockey season. The show began filming on the night of hockey tryouts in October, and the film schedule is arranged around Marty's already-busy lifestyle. In addition to looking after her son's hockey practices and her daughter's dance rehearsals, she juggles the roles of Realtor, caterer, bartender, makeup artist and online salesperson. The producers usually give her some notice when they want to film, and they follow Marty's routine about once a week. “It surprises me how it's not scary to have the camera around. It's not intimidating at all,” she said. “The producer and cameramen kind of become your friends.” Both show creators, John McCally and Randy Lee,
