Help wanted: School bus drivers BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Looking for job security, paid holidays and summers off? Consider driving a school bus. Drivers are in demand as bus companies and school districts struggle to fill open positions. Transportation managers can’t put a finger on any particular reason. It might be the responsibility of hauling children to and from school that can be overwhelming for some. Or it could be the split shift during the day. For Tom Fraser, a driver and trainer for Minnesota Central, it’s that very combination that drew him to the job. Now 71, the affable school bus driver sold his auto repair business in White Bear Lake, traveled a

bit and decided he needed more to do in retirement. “I didn’t want to stay home and watch Oprah,” he said. “I drove a school bus in college and liked it. I love the kids.” Minnesota Central contracts with the Mahtomedi School District. It might be the only bus company in the metro starting the school year fully staffed. White Bear Lake Schools Transportation Coordinator Mike Turrito is short about five drivers. Rehbein Transit, which serves a small portion of White Bear, is short eight drivers. Fraser is aware of a base right now that is short 25 people. “I know at least three places I could get a job tomorrow,” he said. SEE DRIVER SHORTAGE, PAGE 8A

“Drivers wanted” and “now hiring bus drivers” signs can be spotted around town and on school buses, especially as companies try to fill vacant routes in time for the start of the school year.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Two days after personal injury attorneys filed a civil lawsuit in district court against the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for refusing to hand over records regarding Water Gremlin (see separate story), its commissioner ordered the company to immediately cease all solvent-based coating operations. In a press release issued Friday morning, Aug. 23, the agency said it learned that Water Gremlin knew June 20, 2019 that it was releasing dichloroethylene, or DCE, the primary ingredient in the solvent FluoSolv, into soil vapor beneath its plant and possibly into adjacent areas, rather than through its control stack as required. DCE is a solvent Water Gremlin uses for coating battery terminals to prevent batteries from leaking. MPCA learned in January that Water Gremlin failed to report accurate emissions data for more than 15 years

and said it has sought greater accountability from the company for its current and past behavior. The company failed to immediately report the DCE release or take corrective actions, and finally reported the information to MPCA 40 days later on July 30, 2019. On Aug. 14, Water Gremlin was asked to voluntarily halt its coating operations until corrective actions could be taken to prevent further release of the chemical. The company offered to pause its operations from Aug. 23 to Aug. 28 while it mitigated the current contamination; however, Water Gremlin does not have a plan to stop future contamination, wrote MPCA. As a result of its inaction, Water Gremlin was issued an administrative order Aug. 22 by Commissioner Laura Bishop that requires the company to shut down its coating operations. The operation may not restart until corrective action is taken to address the release SEE MPCA ORDER, PAGE 9A

Boater makes clear lake life not for select few BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Lake Conservation District board of directors received an earful last week over something out of their control. Mostly a lake user's diatribe involved new buoys at Memorial Beach. The city installed the buoys recently to keep boaters away from swimmers. Deeper water beyond the buoys presents a safety hazard to boaters who are used to anchoring near the ropes in waist-deep water to let their children swim, said Tracy McKee, a Maplewood parent who spoke to the board on behalf of her boating friends and family. "It feels like the conservation district is acting in bias against slip and launch boaters on behalf of a select few lakeshore property owners, some of whom have offered private funds to monitor and restrict public use," McKee maintained. "This no longer feels like you're representing a public body of water but attempting to make an exclusive, semiprivate amenity." McKee was referring to a small group of residents who informed the board in July they were considering starting a nonprofit called Respect the Lake to raise money for enhanced water patrol. In fact, the nonprofit was formed and a $1,500 check was going to be presented to the conservation district at its Aug. 20 meeting. The board declined the donation. A statement made at last month's meeting about applying pressure to boaters who don't follow the rules to push them to other lakes was also a point of contention for McKee. "It feels like a threat to rid this lake of public boaters," she claimed. "We are slowly and aggressively being pushed out into the middle of the lake, which avid boaters know is dangerous." What may be contrary to public opinion, McKee stated, is boaters near Memorial Beach "do not stand in the water to drink beer and prevent access for police. We truly enjoy lake life and make the most of it." She added that no one in the group, "including the pirates, are using the beach as a public bathroom." Pirates was a word Denny Trooien used to describe a select few boaters playing loud music and "behaving badly and ruining lake life" at the July meeting. He is one of the incorporators of the nonprofit.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Boaters who like to anchor off Memorial Beach registered a complaint with the White Bear Lake Conservation District. New buoys have pushed them into deep water, making the popular gathering spot dangerous for children.

Finally, McKee reminded the board that "we are not criminals, spoiled rich kids, bad actors, hard partyers or pirates. We are parents, friends, hardworking people who want to enjoy the water just like lake homeowners." She also warned the board they were creating a contentious relationship between the water patrol and boaters. "Until the buoys occurred, we had a good relationship with water patrol," McKee said. "We were assured we were well within our rights." Stepping to the microphone after McKee was another Maplewood boater, Kevin Campbell, who said he rents a slip at Tally's. "I don't understand what is going on," he said. "People are getting yelled at and videotaped. I'm trying to fi gure out what the deal is. I was kicked out of the same spot I've been going to for years." Vadnais Heights resident Tom Truhler told the board he couldn't not come to the meeting. "I watched video from last month's meeting.

I was appalled at references made about my friend Kevin, that he's a pirate and bad guy. He's a hardworking, community guy who spends money in this town. They all use this town. They're not breaking the law. If they were, they should have tickets, which they don't." District legal counsel Alan Kantrud said most stops by the water patrol are safety checks. "I haven't seen a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;boating while intoxicatedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for awhile and I haven't prosecuted anything this summer on anything being discussed here. Nothing has risen to a level of criminality." Board Chair Bryan DeSmet did not address speakers' comments, made during open time, other than to state that the city put in the buoys, not the conservation district. He suggested talking to city officials, adding, "if you think there is something this board can do, come back and talk to us." DeSmet then made the motion under new business to decline the check from Respect the Lake. "My concern is the precedence it sets," he said.

"I'm not opposed to more hours by the sheriff's patrol on the lake. But we should use our own reserve funds." The district contracts each season with Ramsey and Washington County law enforcement to patrol White Bear Lake. Members agreed to consider an increase in the patrol budget next year. Kantrud said he will inform the Respect the Lake group that they are welcome to modify its gift in the form of a grant. In other Aug. 20 business, the board: â&#x20AC;˘ Heard from lake quality committee chair Mike Parenteau. Lake level is 925.05 feet. "It's stayed above 925 feet all summer and it's 1 foot 4 inches higher than last year at this time," he reported. Water temperature is 76 degrees. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved charging a late fee to commercial marinas for late applications. After Oct. 15, marina operators will be charged $25 per slip per week. More time was given for the compliance letter from the city. Operators must have that letter to the district no later than Jan. 1 to make the application complete.

Off-road is on INCE THE 1980s, off-roading has been growing in popularity. Auto manufacturers even label some of their vehicles as off-road types. For example, the Jeep Wrangler or Jeep CJ’s have been around since the 1940s and today dominate the off-road experience. In Minnesota there are three state parks that have off-road trails. The Minnesota 4 Wheel Drive Association provides information for those interested in where there are public and private facilities. Off-road enthusiasts go to great lengths in raising their vehicle higher than standard from the road. There are special ride tires with lots of traction, special tow bars with winches, all to take on the challenges of muddy, rocky, uneven terrain of the trails. Riders often go in groups so they can help each other if and when they get stuck! Over the years, Kathy and I with our About the children, enjoyed snowmobiling on the trails through the winter months in Town northern Minnesota. The challenge and Gene Johnson the scenic beauty were all part of trail riding. Little by little the snowmobiles improved in their comfort. Then the 4-wheel drive all-terrain vehicles came into play. The off-road enthusiast will travel all over the country to take on the challenges. You can be sure they’re all equipped with a very complete toolbox for the repairs needed with the stumps and rocks they encounter. Since 1992, Minnesota has had scenic byways made up of roads that take drivers to some of the state’s most significant natural, cultural and historic attractions. Soon there will be a similar opportunity for people to explore more than 800 miles of northern Minnesota on mostly unpaved roads. The new border-to-border touring route will cross the entire state from North Dakota to the shores of Lake Superior. Only highway-licensed vehicles currently allowed on these roads will be able to travel the entire border touring route. It will be part of Minnesota’s natural resources fund to provide support in planning mapping and visitor information. THE MINNESOTA STATE Fair runs through Sept. 2. It’s destined to be a record-breaker. Kathy and I plan to be at the Minnesota Newspaper Museum Thursday, Aug. 29, for the morning shift from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. If it fits your schedule, we would love to have you stop by and we can talk a little about the history of letterpress printing. Each day of the fair we print a four-page newspaper that is set with hot type from the linotype machine. We also have a print shop with specialty printing. The Newspaper Museum is located in the front of the 4-H building. We also talk about the First Amendment and the five freedoms it guarantees. Can you name them? THE JULY ISSUE of Twin Cities Business included an article about the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting and an interview with Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger. They provided some good lessons for life that I think are worth sharing and I believe make sense. 1) Get out there and explore the world. There are interesting things happening. 2) Taking complex ideas, concepts and subjects and making them consumable for a mass audience is part of everyone’s job. Sometimes it is wiser to use everyday language. 3) Work like you’re never going to retire. Removing the finish line (retirement) lets you see further into the future. What idiot retires from what they love to do? If they don’t love what they do, fix that or start something new. The article was written by Aaron Keller, co-founder and managing principal of Capsule, a Minneapolis branding agency. BIKE PATHS IN some communities are often striped to identify lanes. I’m sure the lanes would have to be of adequate width. Is this worth consideration for the safety of those who enjoy the paths?

Back to school in Minnesota

nce the Minnesota State Fair corn dogs are just a memory, back to school will be upon us – and with it brings exciting new opportunities, new challenges and fresh faces in the classroom. Whether it’s your first day of kindergarten, your first day of high school or college – or perhaps you’re learning a new skill and you’ve found your way back to the classroom after years of work – I wish you all a great first day. Last session, I worked with my colleagues on public education to achieve the following results: • The education omnibus bill (HF1) provides Legislator an additional $543 million in Lingo new spending for public schools in Sen. Chuck Minnesota over Wiger the next two years. This equates to a 2% increase each year in the basic funding formula for daily operating expenses. • Recognizing the importance of pre-kindergarten education, the bill provides $46.7 million in FY 20-21 to continue School Readiness Plus, which was implemented in the 2017 session. This investment will ensure that 4,000 pre-k seats will be available to young learners past July 1. No funding increase for the early childhood scholarship program was included in the final agreement. • A top priority for school districts across the state was providing additional state help for special education expenses that are being

paid for with general education dollars. Funding to freeze the special education cross subsidy was set at $90.7 million in FY20-21 and $142.2 million. • School safety grants are set at $30 million, contingent upon a closing balance of state funds for FY19 exceeding the February forecast estimated closing balance. • The award-winning Race2Reduce water conservation program initiated in the White Bear Lake Area School District receives $50,000 in one-time funds for FY 2020. Now in its fourth year, Race2Reduce has had a significant and documented impact. Students who have experienced this curriculum have not only acquired knowledge about water resource issues, but they also have developed advocacy skills, changed personal behaviors and influenced others to be more conservation minded. • To address dyslexia, the Professional Licensing and Standards Board must adopt rules on reading preparation to enable a teacher to implement appropriate instructional strategies. • To accommodate this year’s snow day emergencies, school districts will not be penalized for calling off school on days lost to Minnesota’s cold, snowy winter. Pay provisions for hourly and contract employees and provisions for probationary teachers were included in the bill. • I sponsored a Minnesota Reads Action Council (SF81) that would evaluate programs designed to increase the reading proficiency of children and adults, and advise the commissioner of education. The provision was not included in the final bill, but I will pursue this next session. In the legislative session that

begins at noon Feb. 11, 2020, lawmakers will likely debate signiﬁcant education policy changes and school funding issues. Please stay engaged! Now is a critical time to get involved with your schools. Public education needs your support. Local control is the best strategy for achieving effective schools and creating the World’s Best Workforce. The new school year also calls for some reminder tips that will help kids and parents get back into the swing of things. The following tips are provided by leaders in Minnesota’s teaching profession. 1. Get to know your child’s teachers and support staff at the beginning of the year. 2. Let them know that you want feedback on your child’s progress during the school year, as well as how you want to receive it – email, text message, phone or even in person. 3. Set a regular place and time for your child to work on homework. 4. Establish a distraction free “learning zone” (away from the TV, tablet or other distractions). 5. While you’re at it, set a bedtime, too. Research shows that the quality and quantity of sleep has a profound impact on learning. 6. Read as much as possible. Find more back-to-school tips at edmoments.com. I wish your children well as they embark on a new grade level full of fresh beginnings. I hope you introduce yourself to their teachers, read many books together, and help instill a thirst for learning.

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS www.presspubs.com

What I needed to see BY JARED MARTINSON PRESS INTERN

or as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be “the sports guy”. Nothing else inspired me to read, watch or write. I never wanted to get rolled up in any other kind of journalism. The other stuff just didn't attract me as much as writing game recaps and athlete features. Some of Jared the best advice I've ever received is to write about what I have authority Martinson over; I know a lot about sports and love f watching sports and enjoy talking about sports. Perfect fit. I was going to be a sportswriter, and would never have to touch any of the rest. Turns out summer newspaper internships run right

in line with the quietest season of local sports to cover. So I was forced to change my perspective. Was I enthralled by city council meetings or dying to cover ribbon cutting ceremonies at new small businesses? Not really. I had to sacrifice what I wanted to do in order to learn what I had to do. I could count on one hand the amount of times I'd been to White Bear Lake before I started at Press Publications. I knew next to nothing about the city, and nobody in it. Same with the surrounding towns within the coverage area. I remembered Stillwater was pretty, if that counts for anything. I probably would have been very comfortable and content covering sports and nothing but sports here; except that would mean missing out on so much more of this community and what makes it special. Now, eight weeks later, the assignment doesn't matter. As long as it's truthful storytelling, I feel that I can succeed, especially in an area as supportive as this one. A big thank you to the Johnsons and the Johnson

Center for Journalism and Communication at Bethel University for giving me an opportunity to wet my feet at Press Publications and get a taste of community journalism at its best. A big thank you to the newsroom for throwing all types of leads and tips at me to get a feel for stories that matter. I still want to write about sports. That goal hasn't changed. I'm returning for another semester as the sports editor at Bethel's student newspaper, The Clarion. I've won some awards for my sports reporting. That's all really cool and fun to be a part of. But I'm just a lot more confident that I can tell other stories now, too. My repertoire has expanded. I've seen some stuff. I've met some people. I hope if and when you read The Clarion, and whatever I end up doing after college, you see this experience mirrored in my work. Thank you, Press Publications. Thanks to you, I'm not satisfied with only being “the sports guy”.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To our city officials When I moved to downtown White Bear Lake in 2013, it was an affordable place to live. While I am all for economic development, improvements and growth, I feel the need to point out that White Bear Lake is doing it in a way that is making it no longer affordable for some residents to remain in a place that they love, or where residents are stuck in housing that they can no longer afford. I’m a single mom and a renter. With rising rents, now that I have only one child at home, I tried to move into something smaller/more affordable, but rarely would anything come up in this area I need to be in: Central Middle School. Sure, I found housing in Maplewood, North St. Paul, Little Canada, Vadnais Heights and even Stillwater, but how would my child get to school? I work. I started looking into purchasing a home — there has rarely been anything in the median price range in the White Bear Lake area — but plenty in the surrounding areas that I mentioned. I had to stay in the home I’m renting and must consider bringing a roommate into the home my child and I share. Scary. What I’ve seen in the years since I've moved here: Developers are buying perfectly good lower-priced homes to tear down and replace with new, high-priced homes. They (and the city that grants the permits to do so) are essentially eradicating affordable housing in White Bear Lake, increasing tax revenue at the cost of affordable housing.

The scenario I see coming: More, higher-priced homes in the area means increased value to the smaller homes. Sounds great, right? Yes, until said homeowner's property taxes increase significantly due to the unnaturally increased value of their home: they were in a steady, developed neighborhood of similar-sized/valued homes. Homes three times their size are popping up all around them. Said homeowner? They’ll no longer be able to afford their home due to their increased property taxes. Stop. I’m begging you. Stop granting developers permits to tear down these affordable homes. Nicole Wood White Bear Lake

Does my heart good It does my heart good to see the photo of the retired members of the White Bear Lake Fire Department (“Reunion of retirees” Aug. 21). Thank you to each and every one of them from a grateful citizen. Janet Holtz Kraemer White Bear Lake

Impressed by District 1 candidate On Nov. 5, there is a special election to fill the current vacancy on the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners representing District 1 (White Bear Township, Vadnais Heights, Gem Lake, Shoreview, Arden Hills, North Oaks

and parts of Mounds View, Blaine and Spring Lake Park). Please join me in voting for Nicole Frethem, one of two candidates contending for the remaining one-year term of the District 1 Commissioner seat. As a Shoreview resident, parent of two, law school student and supervisor in Minnesota’s Department of Human Services, Nicole’s focus is on healthy families and the environment. She brings both common sense and creativity to the TCAAP development project debate and is focused on bringing the players back to the table instead of relying on a lawsuit. Like many of you, I’m just getting to know Nicole. So far, what has impressed me the most is her belief in open government and conducting the public’s business in public. No closed-door meetings or backroom conversations. Just frank, honest conversations. And when those conversations get heated and positions polarized, Nicole provides a gentle but firm voice to find common ground, identify shared values and work on behalf of communitywide interests. Learn more about Nicole at www.nicolefrethem.com. A vote for Nicole Frethem is a vote for a stronger and healthier community. Vote at your regular polling location or vote early by mail. Note to the White Bear Township residents who usually vote at Eagle Brook Church: for the next two years, we vote at Lakeshore Players Theater on Long Avenue just north of Eighth Street.

OBITUARY NOTICES

Ronald L. Johnson June 1, 1940 - August 21, 2019 Ronald Lee Johnson passed peacefully at his home in White Bear Lake with his beloved wife Judy Ann (Ledin) Johnson holding his hand. Ron was preceded in death by his father and mother Charles and Helen Johnson of Iron River, WI, his sister Charlene Orr, and his daughter, Brenda Schiltgen. Ron was a farm kid from humble roots and being so, learned the trades out of necessity. He was a machinist, builder, welder, and always made something out of nothing with hard work and putzing. Ron dedicated his life to vocational education, was honored as the National Vocational Educator of the Year, and even shared educational philosophy and vocational secrets hosting and being hosted by the Head of Education in Wales, England. A woodsman by nature, a fisherman, and a man of God, Ron was earnest, hardworking, and faithful. He was a dedicated husband to Judy, brother to Diane Kavajecz, father to Kerry Johnson (Lisa) and Sheri Chaffee-Johnson (Melissa), grandfather to Matt Johnson (Megan), Beth Norris (Tad), and Private Sofia Hastings, and a great grandfather to four beautiful children. Visitation will be held on Thursday, August 29, 2019 at Community of Grace Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake at 10:00 a.m. and funeral service to follow at 11:00 a.m.

Ready to lead I am proud to support Nicole Joy Frethem for Ramsey County Commissioner. It’s not often we have a candidate with her leadership and communication skills combined with a history of dedicated service to Ramsey County and the state of Minnesota. After spending 10 years supporting young families and their children through direct service, policy changes and system solutions, her experiences have provided her with a true understanding of the challenges facing government and small businesses. And as a law student, mother of two and state employee, she knows how to work hard to achieve success. Nicole has proven she’s ready to lead and has clear, actionable goals for improving the lives of all Ramsey County families. Her vision for creating affordable housing and child care solutions, improving local transportation infrastructure and protecting the environment rightfully earned her campaign endorsements by not only me, but the DFL party, Women Winning, the Teamsters Joint Council 32, AFSCME and many others. She has already hosted meetups around the county and directly knocked on the doors of hundreds of constituents. Nicole is speaking with and listening to every person she can, and I hope everyone will support her in the election Nov. 5. Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn State Representative District 42B

Study finds youth with asthma more likely to vape A new analysis by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) finds that high school and middle school students who have asthma are more likely than their peers without asthma to vape, smoke, and be exposed to secondhand smoke. Analyzing data from the 2017 Minnesota Youth Tobacco Survey, MDH researchers found nearly 30% of youth who have asthma are using a tobacco product compared to 24% of youth without asthma. About one in five students in grades 6-12 reported they have asthma, according to the survey. Of those students, Minnesota youth who vaped or smoked were more likely to have frequent asthma symptoms in the past 30 days. Tobacco smoke is a powerful trigger of asthma. Tobacco smoke contains irritating substances (a mixture of more than 7,000 chemicals) which, when inhaled, irritates the linings of the lungs. These substances can bring on asthma symptoms or an asthma attack.

This graph depicts the current use of tobacco products by high school students with and without asthma. The data was compiled form the 2017 Minnesota youth Tobacco Survey.

E-cigarette aerosol — commonly called vape smoke — also contains harmful chemicals, such as ultrafine particles, heavy metals like nickel, tin and lead, and other cancer-causing chemicals. E-cigarette use can cause

increased coughing and wheezing in teenagers, and an increase in asthma symptoms, according to a recent report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. “The current epidemic of e-cigarette

use among young people is bad in many ways, and youth who have asthma are particularly vulnerable,” said Minnesota Assistant Commissioner of Health Dr. Courtney Jordan Baechler. “That’s why it is so important for us to get the word out. Any use of tobacco, including e-cigarettes and vapes, is harmful, but youth with asthma who smoke or vape are likely to experience more intense symptoms and need more medical care.” It is unknown why youth with asthma are more likely than their peers to smoke or vape. Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in pediatric and young adult populations. It causes inflammation or swelling and a narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe. In 2016, there were 18,200 emergency department visits and 1,900 hospitalizations for asthma in Minnesota. Every day 10 Americans die from asthma. Press release

Minnesota Central’s contract manager, Mary Jo Edmondson, agrees. “You have a school bus driver license, take your pick for a job anywhere,” she said. School bus drivers make anywhere from $19 to $23 per hour. A commercial driver’s license is required, which involves a series of written tests, a road test and a training period. Drivers must also pass a Department of Transportation physical, pre-employment drug screening and a criminal background check. Last year, even office personnel were out driving buses, Edmondson recalled. Everyone who works for the Mahtomedi bus company is required to have a commercial driver’s license. They run 23 bus routes and three van routes for the school district. Why is it hard to retain drivers? “I think it’s the split shift,” Edmondson replied. “There’s also a fear of driving a 40-foot bus. It’s easier than people think.” And then there’s misbehaving children. That’s the rewarding part, according to Fraser. “The kids are fantastic.” The grandfather of seven still keeps a picture on his iPhone from a parent thanking him for taking care of their child. “Gee whiz. I never got that when I worked on cars,” joked Fraser. Yes, bad weather can make driving scary. “With that comes the feeling that I got 200 kids home safe today,” he added. Some companies allow drivers to bring their children along during shifts, which typically start anywhere from 6 to 7 a.m. and end around 9:30 a.m. at Minnesota Central. Drivers return at 2 p.m. for student pickup and are usually done by 5 p.m. The rigs are nicer to drive, too, Fraser pointed out. Buses have automatic transmission, hydraulic brakes and push buttons on the steering wheel to operate the door. Seats are higher to offer better visibility. Every bus in the Mahtomedi fleet has two cameras and GPS. Cameras record to a hard drive, for the protection of both drivers and students. If a student is getting picked on, Edmondson can see it. She also knows how fast a bus is traveling and if a driver makes harsh turns and stops. She knows what time the bus arrived at a stop and when it departed. White Bear Lake’s Turrito said the district’s shortage problem is no different than anywhere else. “We have enough drivers to cover routes, but we need subs and drivers for activity buses,” he said. The shortage always coincides with the economy. In a slump, people are looking for extra work and parttime jobs, Turrito pointed out. That’s not true now. The district employs about 45 drivers. The transportation coordinator said he’s had three applications over the last year. For people who need benefits, drivers qualify at 30 hours. That includes 11 paid holidays. Turrito said his drivers love what they do. “We don’t lose too many each year. I think it’s a benefit of a school-run operation. They have the same routes, the same kids. They get to watch them grow up. We have a good core of drivers. They are really vested in making sure those kids get home.”

Hiking Vadnais Point BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

The view from Vadnais Point is worth the short hike off the main trail in Vadnais-Sucker Lakes Regional Park. At the point is a sweeping 180-degree view of lakeshore filled with trees. The only buildings to be seen are for the St. Paul Regional Water Services center. The lake is a water supply for St. Paul, thus its shore is protected from further development. To get to Vadnais Point, you can enter the park either at the gate off Edgerton Street just north of Vadnais Boulevard or at the corner of McMenemy Street and Koehler Road. There is a parking lot at Edgerton Street and Vadnais Boulevard. There is no parking lot at the northern entrance. From Edgerton Street, follow the gravel trail west about half a mile until it starts to curve to the north. You will see a wooded foot path to the west, that follows the lake to the south. Take the trail until you reach the end; you've reached Vadnais Point. You can return by following the trail on the north side of the point. Hug the lake to your north. The total hike is about 1.5 miles. If you enter at McMenemy Street and Koehler Road, you can begin on the trail on the north side of Vadnais Point. Take the gravel path south. The trail to Vadnais Point is just south of the wetland area off the gravel path. It is nearly hidden under some low-growing trees. There are several deer trails that veer off this trail. Hang to the right and head to the lakeshore, which can be seen through the trees, for the easiest and quickest path to the point. You can hug the south side of the point on your return. The total hike is about 1 mile. You will encounter downed trees and inclines of up to 15 feet on the trail. Hiking shoes are recommended. Hike when it is dry to avoid slipping in the mud.

MPCA ORDER: Findings of fact indicate DCE a public health concern FROM PAGE 1A

of DCE into the soil vapor beneath the facility. Corrective actions must also be approved by MPCA, completed and determined to be effective before the coating operation can resume. Findings of fact in the order included a 54-point list that included statements such as: • Water Gremlin is actively releasing a toxic substance in violation of state law. • Water Gremlin has no control over the active release of DCE. • Water Gremlin does not know the extent and magnitude of the unauthorized release from its facility. • The ongoing release of DCE is a public health concern.

• MPCA did not authorize this release from the facility under the stipulation agreement signed March 1, 2019. The release violates the agreement. MPCA indicated it will continue to closely monitor air emissions in and around the facility. Water Gremlin must also continue investigating soil, groundwater and soil vapor to determine the extent and magnitude of the contamination. On Friday afternoon, Aug. 23, Carl Dubois, Water Gremlin’s vice president of international manufacturing, released this statement regarding MPCA’s administrative order: “We ceased coating operations last night immediately upon receiving the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s administrative order. Yesterday, prior to our

planned voluntary shutdown at 6:30 this morning, we submitted a plan to capture the t-DCE vapor beneath our building and to prevent more t-DCE vapor from traveling through the floor into the air space below our building. “While we continue to work in earnest with the MPCA to address its concerns, it is important to note that environmental experts are confident that the t-DCE vapors are limited to the air space immediately beneath our building and do not pose a risk to our employees, neighbors or the environment. “The health and well-being of our community continues to be our number one priority, and we are working hard to earn back their trust since discovering TCE emissions and reporting it to the MPCA in July of 2018.”

Pollution control agency sued for failure to fork over public records regarding Water Gremlin BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

MINNEAPOLIS — Fed up with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) failure to comply to requests for public information on Water Gremlin, attorney Dean Salita fi led a lawsuit Aug. 20 in Hennepin County District Court. The personal injury lawyer, with the Minnetonka law team of Schmidt & Salita, has been waiting since May for MPCA to comply with a data practices request for records regarding the plant’s emissions and the agency’s attempts to regulate them. “It’s time to get information to the public,” Salita said. “Nothing is the same as what MPCA told the public months ago. It continues to be the same old, same old (rhetoric), and it’s ridiculous.” The law fi rm is representing about 150 people living or working near Water Gremlin who were exposed to trichloroethylene (TCE) levels that exceeded the state’s permitted amount. TCE is a hazardous chemical used by Water Gremlin to degrease battery terminals. Elevated levels may increase risk of certain types of cancers and birth defects. The company agreed to discontinue its use in a stipulation agreement signed March 1. In the complaint, Salita contends that MPCA “inexplicably closed out” his request mid-May without providing “anywhere close to all the responsive public records.” Added Salita, “MPCA has failed to provide them despite the important public health and public interest concerns attendant to Water Gremlin’s

toxic emissions.” The Minnesota Department of Health, in contrast, provided requested records in a much shorter time period, he said. The law fi rm requested all public records regarding any and all investigations, testing and sampling of soil, air or water relating to Water Gremlin; all correspondence with the company, all issued permits and all records sent to other regulators about Water Gremlin. Salita also hired a big gun, former state attorney general Lori Swanson, to assist in obtaining the documentation. Swanson’s fi rm, Swanson Hatch P.A., sent a letter May 28 to the MPCA commis-

sioner requesting records not provided to Schmidt and Salita, exceedances since the stipulation agreement, emails to and from Jeff Smith, industrial division director, after Jan. 15 and communications with the health department about Water Gremlin. Swanson gave MPCA a June 11 deadline. To date, the agency has not provided the documents. MPCA’s Director of Communications Darin Broton issued this statement: “The MPCA embraces an open and transparent process where the public has access to information on its permitting and enforcement decisions. The agency takes the allegation seriously and

is reviewing this matter. The MPCA receives hundreds of data practices requests each month, and is still compiling information for several of these requests regarding Water Gremlin. The MPCA released more than 6,000 pages of Water Gremlin documents to parties last week.” Salita and Swanson are asking the court to compel MPCA to comply with the data practices request. They are also asking for an award of fees and costs. Gem Lake resident Kerri Luecke accompanied Salita to the county courthouse to fi le the suit. She was one of the fi rst to talk to Salita after news broke of the TCE emissions. Luecke and her

family lived within a quarter mile of Water Gremlin for 24 years. “The MPCA and Department of Health tell us there’s nothing to worry about,” Luecke said. “Yet the settlement with Water Gremlin was the second largest in state history. Nothing to worry about? What are they not telling us?” Luecke said she beat the odds after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of skin cancer and her daughter suffers from epileptic seizures. A son has asthma. “We never put two and two together until this came out. It’s scary.”

Township becomes pollinator-friendly community WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The bees and butterflies thank the township for being pollinator friendly. For its efforts, the Pollinator Friendly Alliance presented a Community Pollinator Friendly award to the township Aug. 25 during its annual festival. In an email announcing the award, Executive Director Laurie Schneider said the alliance is “honored to support your good work in your community.” The township implemented a pollinator protection resolution, which qualified it for the award.

Loon Chronicles IV: Juveniles return This was a challenging week for watching Loons. Storms, clouds, and high winds left us with only a few days to make it out in the boat. We are happy to report that the juvenile Loons, from other lakes, have made their way to White Bear Lake. We counted a total of four and expect that more will drop in during the next several weeks. They are not as communal as the adult Loons, but that will soon change. In the interim, they will keep busy fishing, preening, and perfecting their recently acquired flying skills. We also have noticed the Eagles and Osprey keeping an eye on the lake and inflicting their reign of terror whenever the opportunity arises. No Coots in sight yet. The gulls are everywhere and continue to use the WBYC dock as home base. At long last, the water lilies are blooming in the War Zone, but sightings of turtles, muskrats, egrets, and herons remain rare. A very different scene from last year.

Wildwood Artist Series announces 2019-2020 program The series opens Sunday, Oct. 6 at 3 p.m. with Billy McLaughlin and Simple Gifts in a program entitled “The Young and the Rest…” The program is a tribute to Neil Young and the rest of the audience’s favorite artists who defined an era and whose popularity endures – Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Eagles, Joni Mitchell and more. Pat Donohue and the Prairie All Stars return to the Chautauqua Fine Arts Center stage in a special holiday show at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6. These spontaneous virtuoso musicians will kick-start the holidays with seasonal music ranging from the traditional to the classical, including blues and Pat’s hilarious original songs and parodies, for what promises to be an evening of festive holiday fun. On Saturday, Jan. 4, “Dear Lenny: Bernstein’s Life in Songs and Letters” will be presented by Dan Chouinard, Diana Grasselli, Bradley Greenwald and Prudence Johnson. “Dear Lenny” is a tribute to Leonard Bernstein’s commitment to music, love and the artist as a progressive social activist. Bernstein’s masterpieces from Broadway, the concert hall and the silver screen will be presented in a theatrical concert, ending with a singalong of music

from “West Side Story.” The four-concert series concludes with the popular Mahtomedi Music Faculty Concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9. In addition to being terrific teachers, these gifted musicians display their talents individually and collectively in a program of diverse, fun and entertaining offerings. Proceeds support the Kelly Spaulding Memorial Scholarships and school music programs. Two extra events — not part of the series — bring back best-loved and audience favorite musicians. The Collegiate A Cappella Showcase features male and female a cappella groups from area colleges and universities at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 4. The Okee Dokee Brothers, the five-time Parents’ Choice Award winners, will close out the year at 4 p.m. May 9. These guys perform family music with a goal to inspire children and their parents to get outside and get creative. Their captivating songs, composed while canoeing down the Mississippi, hiking the Appalachian Trail, riding horses in the Rocky Mountains and having fun in the snow motivates kids to gain a greater respect for the natural world, their communities and themselves.

LOOKING BACK Week of August 25-31, 2019 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.

1919 Arcadia, Bald Eagle Lake, was the scene of another delightful musicale, Saturday afternoon, Aug. 16. Gertrude Reilly, a charming little artist, as good to look upon as she is clever at the piano furnished the major portion of the program. Miss Gertrude, who is but 10 years old, manifested a knowledge of her instrument, a skill and dexterity in technical difficulties worthy of the musician of twice her years.

1944 There are a great many improvements to be made in the highways and roads of Ramsey County after the war and the Board of County Commissioners have begun planning for the work. At Tuesday’s White Bear Assn. luncheon a representative of the County Board showed a goodly number of pictures and maps of the proposed projects. The Association members were deeply interested and look forward to the time of their accomplishment. WHITE BEAR LAKE AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY | SUBMITTED

White Bear Businessmen’s Association, ca 1935.

1969 September 5th is the date chosen by Yvonne Marie Hodder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hodder, 2436 Martin Way, for her marriage to John Henry Herbert, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry E. Herbert, 110 6th Street. Miss Hodder attended Winona State College, she is presently employed at Control Data. Mr. Herbert is a graduate of the Colorado College, Colorado Springs, Colo., and will be stationed at Lakeland Air Base, Texas with the USAF.

1994 Students who attend Wildwood and O. H. Anderson elementaries next week will be the first to feel the affects of a plan designed to handle increased enrollment in Mahtomedi School District 832. Earlier this year, the School Board approved the use of temporary “demountable” walls and additional classroom that will be “carved out” at both libraries, said district Superintendent Don Lifto.

BUSINESS BRIEF Fight against hunger Deschutes Brewery teamed up with Tally's Dockside to fundraise for Second Harvest Heartland last month. For every Deschutes beer sold during the month of June, one meal was donated to the local nonprofit. Together, Tally's Dockside, JJ Taylor Distributing and Deschutes Brewery donated 719 meals to families in need. “Tally's has a long-standing tradition of giving back to White Bear Lake,” said Connar Dehnert, Tally's business manager. “We pride ourselves on putting community fi rst.” Dave Espe, midwest zone manager for the brewery, added that Deschutes donates $1 for every barrel of beer sold.

Tree Trust looking for planting volunteers Tree Trust, a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is inviting community members to participate in three upcoming tree planting events. This tree planting is part of a supplemental environmental project agreed to between Water Gremlin and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). • Sept. 28, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in public space adjacent to 21 Daniels Farm Road, Gem Lake. • Oct. 5, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Deer Meadow Park, 2625 Parkview Drive, White Bear Township. • Oct. 12, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on boulevards in the Inter Lake Park neighborhood. Meet at Podvin Park, 1700 Ninth St., White Bear Lake. Water Gremlin, in collaboration with Tree Trust, is required to plant and maintain a total of 1,500 trees in

White Bear Township, White Bear Lake and Gem Lake, per the stipulation agreement signed March 1 with MPCA. This is just a small part of the total; more plantings will come next year. These events are family friendly, noted Karen Zumach, Tree Trust community forestry director. People can sign up at http://treetrust.org/ fall-2019-volunteer-opportunities/. Up to five adults and minors can register per group. Tree Trust plants and distributes thousands of trees and shrubs in the Twin Cities metro. Adults are encouraged to volunteer to help plant at the events. The organization’s mission is to improve the community environment by investing in people through integrated JobPrep programs, community forestry and environmental education programs. Debra Neutkens

With hundreds of positive reviews and feedback, The FootLab website (www. thefootlab.com) has features and information on the benefits of custom foot orthotics. Appointments can be made online on The FootLab website. Interested individuals can make a free appointment with a certified pedorthist to discuss concerns related to their feet, knees and lower back. When feet hurt it is logical to think that it’s time to get new shoes. In most cases though it’s not the shoes that are bad but the support inside the shoe that’s bad. Everyone benefits from custom orthotics because they disperse pressure evenly throughout the sole of the foot and they align the foot properly which orients the knee and hip in a healthy posture. To make an appointment with a Certified Pedorthist call The FootLab at Hi Tempo (651) 429-3333 or go online at www.thefootlab.com and follow the links to make an appointment.

White Bear gridders aim to build on 2018 revival BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

A year ago this week, White Bear Lake football snapped a two-year losing streak, rallying to beat Centennial 28-27 in the 2018 opener. With that win, snapping a 0-16 skid, the Bears launched a return to respectability, posting a 4-1 start before finishing 4-5 as a couple close games went the other way down the stretch. The 2018 team got the program back on its feet and the 2019 squad hopes to keep it upright, beginning Thursday evening with the opener against Anoka at home, 7 p.m. The Bears return seven starters on defense and three on offense with vacancies filled by players moving up from a 6-2 junior varsity. “Team strengths are speed and athleticism. Main concerns are depth and injuries,” assessed coach Ryan Bartlett, not one for making predictions. He’s especially wary of depth on the lines. In Saturday’s scrimmages, he noted, “The kids are getting to their spots quickly. They were flying around on defense and they tackled well.” Holdovers from the 2018 defense (which allowed 27 points per game) are the leading tacklers, Brad Snook, Grant Napgezek and Mitchell Landsberger, and the top pass defenders, Anders Fischer and Spencer Oxton.

are senior Will Menier and junior Branden Berwald, who helmed the junior varsity and sophomore offenses, respectively, last season. Carrying the ball will be Brice Peters (returning starter), Cam Zaleski, and Jeff Odamtten. “Our backfield is fast. We had some

explosive wide receivers last year, but will probably run more this year,” the coach said. Anchoring the offensive line is senior William LeMire, a returning starter, who, at 280 pounds, is agile enough to be the lacrosse team’s goalie the

past two seasons. Bartlett thinks he’s probably as good as any lineman in the conference. Detailed previews and schedules for all sports will appear in the Sept. 4 paper.

The Bears, who were humbled at North St. Paul 7-0 on Thursday evening, fell behind Hill-Murray 2-0 in the fi rst half. Gavin Rogers got the Bears on the board for the fi rst time, early in the second half, scoring on a breakaway with one defender on him. Thomas Coyan then knotted the score with 20 minutes left. Neither team had a serious scoring threat in the remainder of regulation and the 10-minute overtime, until the last few seconds, when the Bears chased down a loose ball, drew the goalie out, and had an open net for a shot. Rogers drilled it down the middle but just over the bar. Bruce Strand

With new starters at 19 of 22 positions, the Mahtomedi football team will shoot for yet another winning season. Odds are the 2019 aggregation will accomplish that. No Zephyr football team has fi nished below .500 since long before any of them were born. Last year’s squad was 7-3. Football starts Thursday evening at home against Park of Cottage Grove, 7 p.m. kickoff. Coach Dave Muetzel, entering his

13th season with a 92-42 record, has two starters back on offense — wide receiver Tyler Tengwall and guard Jake Schetinski — and one on defense, linebacker Dominic Fedie. “These are good kids who have all worked hard,” said Muetzel. “We are excited to try and put all the pieces together and see what happens.” Competing for the quarterback position are seniors Benjamin Allen and Austin Schulte, and junior Johnny DeVore. Carrying the ball will be seniors Nick Weisner and Josh Praml.

Erika Broten, junior center defender, provided muscle in the middle, along with remarkable endurance, as the Mahtomedi soccer team opened with 2-0 wins over Rochester Mayo on Friday evening and Rochester Century on Saturday. Broten played all 160 minutes of the back-to-back shutouts, never taking a sub. “She is fast and physical, allowing her to ride other teams’ forwards off the ball,” coach David Wald said. “She was great in the state tournament last year, and she is picking up where she left off.” Mahtomedi has won state titles the past two seasons.

We don’t have better weather this time of year than we just had last week. Temperatures more reminiscent of mid September (highs in the low 70’s and lows in the low 50’s) made it downright comfortable. Rain even held off until Sunday evening, bringing an end to a 4 1/2 day dry spell. It was great State Fair weather as attendance crowd records were set on opening days. Even though we’re enjoying a bit of a cool spell, September usually borrows a few days of summer so I doubt we’ve seen the last of summer-like temperatures.

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP TOWN BOARD NOTES WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Town supervisors conducted the following business at their Aug. 21 meeting (rescheduled to Wednesday): â&#x20AC;˘ Approved request by Minnesota State Fair to post no parking signs along both sides of Greenhaven Drive from Hwy. 96 to the second entrance to Calvary Church until Sept. 2. Signs prohibiting parking were also approved on both sides of Gilfi llan Court and Gilfi llan Lane at the request of area residents. â&#x20AC;˘ Called an informational public hearing at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 21, for annual presentation of town's stormwater pollution prevention program. â&#x20AC;˘ Called a public hearing at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 16, to consider request for zoning amendment and wetland permit at SMC Corporation, 5800 and 5858 Centerville Road. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved water system improvement evaluation by TKDA in an amount not to exceed $6,500. Engineer Larry Poppler explained that

the Department of Health changed the guidance level on manganese, a natural occurring mineral. Last year it was discovered wells 2, 3 and 6 were above guidance amounts so the township is now blending water from a number of wells to keep levels below that threshold. The process requires additional maintenance, sometimes on weekends, and chemical treatments. The evaluation will look at options to make the process more efficient. "We aren't the only community dealing with this," Poppler told the board. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved a feasibility report for the 2020 street improvement project. The focus is on the southeast area of the township and "a little more involved than this year's project," Poppler said. The project will involve bituminous restoration, curb and gutter and storm sewers. The engineer wants to start sooner than later this year and requested a feasibility study to look at costs, funding op-

tions and design. The report is not to exceed $18,900. Town Chair Ed Prudhon pointed out that residents are approaching the board wanting roads fi xed. "They're ready to pay assessments," Prudhon said. "It's a shuffling game to see what gets done next." The list of streets can be modified. Town Clerk Patrick Christopherson asked the board for a list of residents who want their street added. "If we have residents motivated to be included in this project, that's an opportunity we need to get hold of," he said. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved 2019 sealcoat project. Borderline Pavement was awarded the contract for $16,300. Funding will come from park improvement and sanitary sewer budgets. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved fi re hydrant repainting. The three-year project to paint 640 fi re hydrants will cost $28,500. Money will come from the water operating fund.

â&#x20AC;˘ Approved sale of $1.3 million bond for the 2019 street improvement project. The township's general obligation debt is currently rated Aa2 by Moody's. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved 2019 deer hunting requests for Joe Mailer and Harry Kavaloski to bow hunt on township property near Benson Airport. â&#x20AC;˘ Heard from a resident who lives near Water Gremlin. MaryAnn Buck, a Realtor and president of the White Bear Preserve Condominium Association, encouraged the township to get involved in the pollution issue regarding the Otter Lake Road company. She told the board a potential buyer heard a property was in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dangerousâ&#x20AC;? neighborhood. "This affects real estate values," Buck said. "Tell the community this is a safe and happy place to be." Debra Neutkens

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The City Council conducted the following business at its Aug. 20 meeting: â&#x20AC;˘ Approved a request from the property owner at 121 Park Ave. for a variance from the required minimum lot area in the R1-E District and a variance from the minimum required lot area and lot width in the Shoreland Overlay District, to build a single-family house on the property. The Planning Commission at its Aug. 14 meeting recommended approval. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved a request from Verizon Wireless, on behalf of the city of Mahtomedi, for a conditional use permit to install six wireless telecommunications antennae and associated ground equipment on and near the city's water tower located at 8160 - 75th St. N. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved the North Water Tower Site lease agreement with St. Andrew's Lutheran Church and Verizon Wireless. The five-year term will begin on a specified date or on the fi rst day of the month after Verizon commences installation of the equipment on the tower, whichever occurs fi rst. For the fi rst year, the lease payment will be $31,800. The annual rent will increase by 5% each year. â&#x20AC;˘ Awarded the contract for the Pheasant Run Park improvements to St. Croix Recreation in the amount of $65,000 to build a playground with funds available from the 2019 Equipment and Building Replacement Fund. The city received three bids for this project: St. Croix Recreationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid was the highest. City staff felt that the playground offered by this bidder was best suited in terms of overall design, quality and how well it fit the location, Pub-

lic Works Director Bob Goebel said. â&#x20AC;˘ Presented a plaque of service recognizing Administrative Assistant Patricia McGing, who is retiring after 30 years with the city. "We wish you'd stay another 30 years," Mayor Judson Marshall told McGing before presenting the plaque. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's been a pleasure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I've met a lot of great people over the years," McGing replied. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved a new gas station license at 1000 Wildwood Road for Applegreen Midwest LLC, which is taking over operations from the FreedomValu service station contingent on the receipt of all appropriate paperwork and certificate of insurance. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved a new liquor license application for Wildwood Tavern at 80 Mahtomedi Ave., pending the receipt of all appropriate paperwork, criminal background check and certificate of insurance. â&#x20AC;˘ Heard the engineer's report from City Engineer John Sachi, noting that the Echo Lake Improvements Project is finished except for completing the punch list and reinstalling the neighborhood trail between the Echo Lake and Pine Ridge neighborhoods. The reinstated trail is expected to be completed by the fi rst week in September, Sachi said. â&#x20AC;˘ Acknowledged the completion of the orientation period for City Clerk Jerene Rogers, who has now served for six months in that position. According to City Administrator Scott Neilson, she has successfully adjusted to that position and her compensation will increase by one step. â&#x20AC;˘ Acknowledged the completion of the orientation period for maintenance operator Ken Bell. After six months, Public Works Department Director Bob

Goebel deemed that Bell has successfully adjusted to that position and will receive an appropriate compensation adjustment. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved construction pay voucher No. 3 for the Echo Lake Improvement Project to T. A. Schifsky and Sons in the amount of $415,650. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved a request to hire three paid on-call fi refighter/EMT's, contingent on the successful completion of psychological and physical exams, as well as background checks. â&#x20AC;˘ Heard a presentation from Washington County Historical Society (WCHS) Executive Director Brett Peterson. The WCHS is raising money throughout the county for a new $5 million Washington County Heritage Center to be built on South Greeley Street in Stillwater. The WCHS asked Mahtomedi to contribute $5,000 a year for five years and will ask other cities in the county for similar contributions, depending on their size. The new facility will include spaces for a logging exhibit, an exhibit comparing fashions of the 1860's with the 1960's, a gangster exhibition, an exhibit highlighting the role of women and an exhibit hall featuring the work of photographer John Runk. The future heritage center will also house traveling exhibits from the Smithsonian Institute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since 1934 the WCHS has helped people preserve important documents and history of the people who came here and shaped this place we call home,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road. Loretta Harding

MAHTOMEDI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; About 100 district community members have been working on a strategic plan since January. The Mahtomedi Public Schools school board approved the plan at its Aug. 22 meeting. The purpose of the plan is to define what makes the district unique and what its goals are, according to district documents. The themes of the plan include personal excellence, community impact, exceptional learning and teaching, development and pursuit of passion, culture of trust, sense of belonging and purpose, and agency (purposeful initiative) of students and staff. A planning team of about 30 members worked to define Mahtomediâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beliefs, mission, objectives and strategies. Several action teams totaling about 70 members discussed how to put them into action. The district believes that everyone needs to give and receive love; integrity is critical to trusting relationships; success does not demand perfection; joy must be a part of the human experience; diversity strengthens community

and individuals; all people deserve compassion and unconditional acceptance; change is necessary for growth; all voices deserve to be honored; each person has immeasurable worth; each person has the desire and capacity to learn and grow; everyone has the right to be and feel safe; and hope motivates people to persist. The districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission encompasses identity and purpose. This is the mission the planning team developed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mission of the Mahtomedi School District, the unified community of courageous hearts and curious minds dedicated to inspiring personal excellence, is to ensure that each student is a bold agent of learning who successfully pursues their passions while advancing the greater good, through a vital system distinguished by: environments that inspire curiosity; an inclusive learning community; an array of exceptional learning experiences; teaching and learning that imparts a global view; and culture of empathy that empowers the whole person.â&#x20AC;? The objectives defined by the planning team are: All students are bold participants in sharing democracy. All students complete

their chosen learning program. All students discover and pursue their passions. All students have a beneficial impact on their community. All students know how their authentic strengths intersect with the needs of the world. Strategies are: We will define learning and teaching without barriers. We will ensure social and emotional well-being of students with an emphasis on mental wellness. We will create the organizational capacity necessary to pursue our mission and objectives. We will provide students opportunities to draw out and pursue their passions. We will foster reciprocal relationships of learning experiences for all students with civic, service and community groups. We will expand existing worldviews to promote understanding. The action teams came up with several goals to implement each strategy. Planning participants included students, teachers and parents. It was facilitated by Bill Cook of the Cambrian Group. Internal facilitators were Technology Coordinator Patrick Crothers and Communications Specialist Alice Seuffert. It was guided by Superintendent Barb Duffrin.

Mahtomedi students support new students While many students are enjoying the last weeks of summer, Mahtomedi 11th and 12th grade students in the Link Crew are preparing for the arrival of new students to Mahtomedi High School. The Link Crew spent last week in training and wrote postcards to ninth graders and those students who are new to the district, inviting them to several upcoming events. The Link Crew’s fi rst event of the year will be a Welcome Back Night before school starts. Welcome Back Night is a peer-led event where the Link Crew leads students through support, activities and conversations about being a student at Mahtomedi High School.

Century hosts graphic memoirist Celebrated writer and illustrator Thi Bui will visit Hanifl Performing Arts Center and Century College on Thursday, Sept. 12, to present her illustrated memoir, “The Best We Could Do” (Abrams ComicArts). The book explores the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child. Thi Bui documents her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves in the U.S. It is a haunting memoir about the search for a better future and a longing for a simpler past. As the child of a country and a war she can’t remember, Bui’s dreamlike artwork brings to life her

Time to train for shortest marathon to benefit food shelf The city's shortest marathon is Saturday, Sept. 28. Participants will run or walk one block down Bald Eagle Avenue from Third Street to Second Street. This year, the theme is Purple People Feeders. “We will all be wearing purple shirts and all of our funds go to feeding people less fortunate than us,” said Gloria Carpenter, organizer. “Needy people in White Bear Lake are not visible, but they are certainly here, and we want to assist in putting healthy food on their tables.” Runners/walkers will meet in front of Mueller Mortuary at 11 a.m. Two White Castles will be donated to each

registered runner for a carb load, and then the trek will start at 11:30. Halfway down the block, participants will receive a bottle of water (so no one gets dehydrated). Coffee, doughnut holes and ice cream await finishers. Those in wheelchairs and walkers are also welcome. “This is a fun event where everyone comes in a party mood, and we all feel good because we are helping those who have a temporary need for assistance from the food shelf,” Carpenter said. A $35 tax-deductible donation includes a T-shirt that reads, “I FINISHED THE FOOD SHELF MARATHON”

with no mention that it was only one block long. “Since the shirts and goodies are furnished by our generous local businesses, the entire donation goes to the food shelf,” added Carpenter. This is the eighth year for the event, which has raised more than $72,000. To register, go to www.whitebearfoodshelf.org or look for applications in the White Bear Press. All ages are welcome. For more information, contact Gloria Carpenter at 651-429-5561. Submitted

Public invited to Tour check presentation

Workshops discuss vaping among youth

Tour De Bar will have its “big reveal” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 5, at Cabin 61, 4150 Hoffman Road in White Bear Lake. The community is invited to attend the presentation, described as the largest amount ever made to a beneficiary, according to co-chair Mike Shearen. This year's Aug. 3 bicycle tour raised money for the Largent family. Larry Largent, husband and father of three, is suffering from a rare, incurable brain disorder called frontotemporal dementia.

HealthPartners is offering workshops, one for youth and one for parents, on vaping. For the first time in 17 years, youth tobacco use has increased mainly due to the popularity of electronic cigarettes. The workshops, both from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26, will discuss: • What Every Parent Needs to Know about Vaping: An informative and practical workshop with the director of the Tobacco-Free Alliance to present more about this dangerous new trend and effective ways to talk to your teenager about vaping. • What Every Teen Needs to Know About Vaping: This is a great opportunity for teens and tweens to talk about vaping with an informed young adult leader. Why are so many people doing it? How does social media impact teen choices about vaping? What is really in e-juice? It’s not just vapor and flavor. We’ll have snacks, swag and gift cards for all tweens and teens who attend. RSVPs for either or both workshops are appreciated, but not required, to WBLClinicHealthClub@HealthPartners. com.
