ST. PAUL — The highly anticipated report on "Cost Estimates for Moving Water to White Bear Lake" was delivered to lawmakers Jan. 29, right on schedule. It left many of those most vocal about augmentation in sticker shock.

The report was called a "preliminary glimpse at augmentation," by Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Landwehr, who was careful to add that the agency's involvement "was not a recommendation but a mandate given to us by the Legislature."

The DNR was directed in 2015 to prepare cost estimates for augmenting White Bear Lake with Mississippi River water taken from the Sucker Lake Chain of Lakes. Water would be purchased from St. Paul Regional Water Services, which pumps river water through the chain of lakes as part of its drinking water supply system.

Vadnais Heights engineering firm Short Elliott Hendrickson (SEH) was hired to conduct the analysis and present the report, which cost a total of $218,000 to prepare. The company has substantial experience building pipelines in Shoreview and North Oaks.

Artists’ village returns to the ice

BY KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR

Soon a tea garden, boiler room, peace train, data lab, giant bed and many more oddities will be ready for visitors on the ice.

After a reorganization hibernation last winter, the Art Shanty Projects is back on White Bear Lake every weekend in February.

The nonprofit-sponsored free event is described as an “interactive, artist-driven temporary community that expands notions of art and artist.”

Nineteen fish-house-inspired “shanties” are one-of-a-kind interactive works of art with a medley of entertaining and educational activities happening inside.

Creative cars and bicycles and performers will also roam the ice each Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

A White Bear Lake architecture firm is a second-time creator of a shanty and the White Bear Center of the Arts

is a multifaceted partner in the event that is expected to draw thousands of visitors to White Bear Lake.

Despite frigid temps in 2014, more than 11,000 people came to see the first shanty village to appear on White Bear Lake.

The Art Shanty Projects made its first appearance in 2005 on Medicine Lake in Plymouth. When organizers decided it was time for a new locale, supportive White Bear Center of the Arts and city leaders lured the project to the metro's second-largest lake.

Last winter no shanties appeared on the ice while the organization welcomed a new executive director and artistic director, incorporated as a nonprofit and applied for grants.

According to Executive Director Dawn Bentley, a $100,000 grant from ArtPlace America funded an increase in the stipends given to the selected shanty builders and performing artists SEE ART SHANTIES, PAGE 7A

A different kind of fitness

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

If your life depended on it, could you climb a rope, avoid a fall, or lift something heavy without wrenching your back?

CrossFit is designed to help in those endeavors.

Best described as functional fitness, CrossFit is constantly varied, useful movement executed at high intensity. And its popularity appears to be growing.

A CrossFit gym in White Bear Lake has expanded twice since opening in June 2011. Owner Jacob Wandersee moved from 1,700 square feet to 4,000 square feet in June of 2014 and just added another 2,000 square feet to his Buerkle Road gym.

"What makes CrossFit different is it is skill based," Wandersee said. "To get better, you need to learn to get better at skills, whether it's jump roping, kettlebell swings, running technique or Olympic weightlifting. It might seem overwhelming at first, but if you stick with the program, you will not only look and feel better, but your stamina, strength, mobility, speed, agility and balance will all improve."

Head coach Thomas Oertli wants baby boomers to know training is geared to everyone's ability, regardless of age.

"We can scale every activity to level of ability," Oertli said. "We have people who have never worked out a day in their life and they fit in just fine. Everyone goes at their own pace. We have pregnant women taking the classes. And we have elite athletes too, looking for a total body workout."

CrossFit gyms don't have a lot of machines. Rather, the emphasis is to "change activities."

"We train for day-to-day activities and emergency movements like lifting a rock or, for some people,

on how to move, lift and getting out of a chair or lose weight, you are asked tying your shoes," Oertli to pay more fees. There is said.

"I don't have to think about what I'm doing.

Workouts are already programmed for me by the coaches and there is always something new to work on," Tillges said. She also dances and finds CrossFit a great complement to other sports.

Membership has grown 25 to 30 percent each year, Wandersee said, and really spiked in the last couple months.

"Traditional gyms seem to have a different business model," he maintained.

Stop the spinning- types and treatment of vertigo

I

t feels like seasickness or that dizzy moving feeling some of us get when we step off a rollercoaster -except, those suffering from this common condition aren’t boating or at an amusement park.

Vertigo is an illusory sense of spinning. It can be frightening and lead to nausea, vomiting, headaches and other symptoms.

Vertigo has Movers & been linked to anxiety, a drop in Shakers blood pressure, migraines, Kurt Belk multiple sclerosis and Meniere’s disease, a disorder of the ear that can also cause tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hearing loss. It can also signal a more serious condition, such as a brain tumor or stroke, although that is less common.

Many of us have felt dizziness, often caused by transient low blood pressure, the kind that happens when you stand up suddenly from a couch and feel dizzy for a few seconds. Most people have it occasionally and don’t worry about it. This is not vertigo.

The experience for vertigo sufferers is much more intense and includes a sensation that the world is whirling around them.

Sufferers can also experience nausea and vomiting, symptoms which really get a person’s attention. Additional symptoms include: abnormal or jerking eye movements, headache, sweating and ringing in the ears.

Types of Vertigo s "ENIGN 0AROXYSMAL 0OSITIONAL 6ERTIGO OR "006 s 6ESTIBULAR NEURONITIS s ,ABYRINTHITIS s -ENIERE S DISEASE

BPPV occurs more frequently with age and is often caused by the formation of tiny calcium deposits or crystals within the inner ear that can destabilize equilibrium, causing people to feel as if they’re in a room that’s spinning. $IZZINESS FROM "006 CAN BE triggered by minor changes in head position, such as looking up, rolling over or leaning forward. %PISODES OF "006 ARE USUALLY brief — measured in minutes instead of the hours or days experienced in other forms of vertigo — but they may occur frequently.

"006 CAN USUALLY BE TREATED with simple head movements that can be done in a physician’s ofďŹ ce or at home. There are several types of movements that can supply relief. The Epley maneuver and its variations involve moving your head through a series of positions to remove calcium deposits from the inner-ear canal.

Vestibular neuritis is an infection of the inner ear probably caused by ordinary cold viruses. All of a sudden, you feel a little woozy, and within an hour you’re ready for the ER. The nausea and vomiting usually subside within a day or two and your immune system takes care of the virus on the same schedule it takes care of the cold, but you may not move around normally for weeks or months. If you are recovering from this virus, try to force yourself to move as normally as possible as soon as you can. While difďŹ cult at ďŹ rst, you’ll recover more quickly.

Labyrinthitis is an inammation of the inner ear (labyrinth). With labyrinthitis the inammation and swelling affects the messages and signals being sent to your brain. This is the part of your inner ear which often controls ones sense of balance. It can bring on a sudden

feeling of whirling or spinning and the intensity can vary from mild and scarcely noticeable to SEVERE ,ABYRINTHITIS IS OFTEN treated in much of the same way as vestibular neuritis. Usually the symptoms do not last more than a few weeks.

Meniere’s disease is a condition in which the inner ear swells up intermittently.

The attacks can cause totally incapacitating vertigo along with a feeling of pressure, ringing in the ear and hearing loss in the affected ear. Each attack does a little more damage to hearing and balance.

Treatment for Vertigo In many cases, vertigo goes away without any treatment because your brain is able to adapt to the inner ear changes.

For those who need further treatment options may include: s 6ESTIBULAR 2EHABILITATION A physical therapy aimed at helping strengthen the vestigular system.

Essentially this treatment helps train your senses to compensate for vertigo. s -EDICINE MAY BE USED IN SOME cases to relieve symptoms such as nausea or motion sickness associated with vertigo. If vertigo is caused by an infection or inammation, antibiotics or steroids can help reduce swelling and cure the infection.

Diuretics or water pills may also be prescribed in some cases to reduce pressure from uid buildup. s 3URGERY MAY BE NEEDED IN FEW cases to treat vertigo.

If you experience vertigo, you should see a doctor to rule out more serious causes. Thankfully there are simple and effective treatments to stop the spinning.

Surprise ingredient of 2016?

ale had a stellar year. Kale this, kale that. I must have had a sweet tooth this past year because I wrote about and created more sugary recipes than in previous years. Maybe I subconsciously tried to balance the role kale was playing in our lives.

My favorite recipe in 2015 was butter-rum yule log cookie. I think it was my favorite because it surprised me—I never really liked anything rum flavored.

Food surprises, I think, come from being surprised by a chef or cook who can take something that a large population doesn’t care for and make it irresistible—that is magical!

What will be the next food surprise of 2016? I have my suspicions. Are you ready? Drum roll please... think the new item will be beer. Beer has always been a major cooking ingredient, but there is something new brewing (pun

intended). I think beer battered this and beer flavored that will be the new 2016 item. Many trendy restaurants already have it on their menus, like beer battered chicken topped with Movers and stout gravy, beer dip, foods Shakers cheese cooked in beer, bread, beer chili. With all Lisa Erickson the new beer flavors out there, the sky is the limit. For now, we’ll stick with Wisconsin style beer cheese soup.

Beer Cheese Soup Adapted from Jonathon Erdeliac’s recipe, Food and Wine Magazine 1/2 pound bacon, chopped into ¼” bits 1 celery rib, finely chopped

1 small onion, finely chopped 1 large jalapeño, seeded, pith removed and chopped 2 large garlic cloves, minced 1 Tbsp chopped thyme 12 ounces rich flavored beer, but not too dark, like a lager or pilsner 2 1/4 cups chicken broth 4 Tbsp butter 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup half and half 1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 4 ounces smoked cheddar cheese, shredded Salt and pepper to taste In a large saucepan, cook bacon over moderate heat until crisp, 7 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a bowl. Add the celery, onion, jalapeño, and thyme to bacon fat and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the

garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add half of the beer and cook until reduced by half, 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

In a small skillet, melt butter and add the flour. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, for about 2 minutes.

Add the butter-flour mixture (roux) to the soup, whisking, until incorporated. Bring the soup to a simmer. Cook until thickened, 5-8 minutes. Add the half and half, cheeses and the remaining beer and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.

Stir in bacon pieces and season with salt and pepper.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bestt fiscall agent B g t White Bear Lake has been a community resource for the cities and township surrounding the lake, for Ramsey County, for Washington County as well as the state of Minnesota. Everyone knows the lake level has been down for 10 years and the county beach has been closed for eight years. As a retired senior, father and grandfather, I have been very concerned about the future of White Bear Lake. However, I am now very optimistic that Rep. Matt Dean, Rep. Peter Fisher, Sen. Roger Chamberlain and Sen. Chuck Wiger will be introducing bills in the 2016 legislative session to fund augmentation of White Bear Lake using surface water from St. Paul Regional Water Services.

Both the Minnesota House and Senate bonding com-

mittees White B Bear L Lake heard itt ttoured d Whit k and dh d ffrom community leaders that White Bear Lake needs their attention now. I thank our local representatives and senators for addressing the lake level of White Bear Lake through augmentation.

A “fiscal agent,” i.e. responsible party for the state funds, is required for the 2016 Bonding Bill. The White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) represents all of the communities surrounding White Bear Lake and appears to be the best option to be the fiscal agent for these 2016 augmentation state funds.

The WBLCD board members will discuss becoming the fiscal agent for these state funds at their Feb. 16 meeting. I respectfully request the WBLCD approve a motion to become the fiscal agent for these

augmentation t ti state t t ffunds. d Mike Downing White Bear Lake Safe water An open letter to Minnesota public servants and especially White Bear Lake public servants: Many of us have read or heard about the bad news out of Michigan for many decades and the recent bad news about lead in the water in Flint, Michigan. In fact, Time Magazine, in its Feb. 1 edition, has as the cover article, “The Poisoning of an American City.”

I have one question: Can it happen here?

Being in command can be a heavy burden, a burden that can weigh even more when life throws hard times one's way.

Maj. Mathew Joseph, commander of Detachment 1, 823rd RED HORSE Squadron, has not only dealt with all the challenges of a new command, but also the death of his wife, Staci.

The White Bear Lake native had been in the Air Force for a little more than 13 years when Staci died in May 2015. He took command of Tyndall Air Force Base's Silver Flag readiness and training mission in July and rose to the challenge of providing contingency combat support training to more than 4,500 people a year.

“One of my proudest moments in this field is when we improved the infrastructure for the Afghanistan government and watched a system that had been inept, corrupt and entitled. [We were able to] bring a park to the local population with a 20 percent savings on construction costs.”

Despite his professional achievements, Joseph’s personal loss has given him a new perspective.

“I’ve realized that most of my life I’ve spent my time looking forward and not appreciating the blessings that I have,” Joseph said. “Lately, playing with my son has taken most of my time. My son is 2 and he just loves a place to be able to run around in. So I have my hands full with him. With everything that’s gone on, there hasn’t been much consistency. But my life pretty much revolves around work and my boy.”

After graduating from White Bear Lake Area High School, Joseph went to the Air Force Academy on a football scholarship.

“The Air Force Academy was the only college that offered me a football scholarship,” Joseph said. “I couldn’t really pass up the chance for free school and the opportunity to play D-1 football.”

Years later after he graduated in 2002, Joseph ended up back in Colorado Springs where a neighbor introduced him to Staci.

“It’s funny because when we first met, I thought she hated me,” Joseph said. “We ended up getting into an argument about politics and I thought she’d never want to speak to me again. I guess I made some sort of impression because we ended up dating and getting married.”

Joseph has remained resilient and maintains his resolve to lead the RED HORSE. “It’s near and dear to my heart,” Joseph said.

“What we do is the ‘big picture’ deployment process and set-up for most of the Air Force. Our mission is vital and feels good being able to help people.”

He offered words of encouragement to airmen who may be experiencing the hardships of personal loss.

“Enjoy life and enjoy your assignments,” Joseph said. “You can be miserable in Florida, or happy in Minot, depending on what you make of it. You never know how the situation might change so appreciate everything and all the people in your life. Enjoy the little things in life and make sure your eyes aren’t so pointed forward that you miss the good stuff at your feet.”

Sports Center lawsuit settled with payout to ex-manager

BY KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — The fi red former manager of the Vadnais Sports Center is getting a $255,000 settlement.

The Vadnais Heights City Council on Tuesday approved an agreement with Mark Bigelbach and his management company to settle a 2012 civil lawsuit against the city and a former councilman alleging defamation and breach of contract. Bigelbach signed the settlement on Jan. 18.

The city will pay $75,000 and its insurance provider will pay $180,000.

The settlement agreement states that neither party admits to any wrongdoing.

But Bigelbach's attorney stated they believe he was owed more than the settlement provided and a city councilman stated he believes

allegations made against Bigelbach in 2012 were unfounded.

The city fi red Bigelbach and his company, Sports Facility Development & Management Group, in 2012, a few months before ending its involvement in the financially failing sports complex.

Bigelbach, his company and a company involved in the development of the sports center fi led suit against the city, its finance director and a council member in September 2012. The suit claimed the city had not paid fees and reimbursements owed to the two companies. It also claimed statements made during a council meeting by Finance Director Robert Sundberg and then-Councilman Joe Murphy were defamatory.

The city fi led a counterclaim contending Bigelbach didn't fulfi ll the terms of its contract

and failed to turn over financial records and other property. The city further argued that Sundberg and Murphy's statements questioning the financial management of the center were “true or substantially true.”

A trial date was postponed multiple times as dozens of motions were fi led. Ramsey County Judge Margaret Marrinan dismissed the breach of contract claims made by the development company and the defamation claim against Sundberg. An attorney provided by the city's insurer represented the city.

After presumably the last of many closed meetings between council and attorney on Jan. 20, the council held a special meeting Jan. 26 to consider the proposed settlement.

Citing the staff and council time consumed by the lawsuit, City Administrator

Kevin Watson recommended approval of the settlement and payout. The council majority concurred.

“I believe, based upon the recommendation of our staff, including our attorney, that this is the best course of action for the city to take,” Mayor Marc Johannsen said.

Councilman Bob Fletcher said he supported the settlement because he believes the allegedly defamatory statements were indeed “not founded in fact.”

“What has become very clear in reviewing the information is at no time has there ever been any evidence presented that the management of the sports center engaged in any criminal activity,” he said. “It's with that understanding that I think the settlement is appropriate.”

The council vote was 4-1, with Councilman Jerry Auge

voting in the negative. Auge didn't make a public statement explaining his opposition.

Gus Nicklow, Bigelbach's attorney, said his client “feels some vindication” by the settlement. Nicklow said the amount is less than Bigelbach believes is owed to him and “doesn't begin to compensate” him “for the substantial damage done to his reputation.”

But he accepted the offer, his attorney said, because he's tired of the long legal battle.

Nicklow added disappointment with the city's refusal to release a document that he suspects would provide further vindication: the findings of a forensic audit of sports center fi nancials under Bigelbach's management. Marrinan ruled the city wasn't required to release the audit results.

Negative fund balances lead to hike in utility rates

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — With a water fund in deficit mode and conservation on everyone's mind, a rate restructure is in the works, starting with the March 1 bill.

Describing it as a "seasonal rate" structure, the city is adopting a new residential formula that uses winter quarter water consumption as a baseline. Eliminated will be the current tiered rate structure that potentially penalizes larger households that may otherwise be practicing conservation.

In a December memo to City Council members, Finance Director Don Rambow attributed the low fund balance to several things: • Water and sewer utility rates that have remained constant since September 2011.

• A 24 percent reduction in water production over the last 10 years, which meant 2015 revenue is only $13,000 more than in 2006; and • Lake level litigation. The lawsuit has hurt the water fund, according to Rambow, who recommended adjusting water rates to recover the costs.

"The water utility has incurred sig-

nificant costs associated with the lake level litigation to fight claims that city and area community groundwater pumping is negatively impacting aquifer levels," Rambow wrote in the memo. "The water utility incurred $210,500 in legal fees during 2013 and 2014 related to lake level litigation and another $37,000 is expected in 2015 and 2016."

Several restructuring options were offered to the council last month.

Option A, or the seasonal rate, was officially chosen by a 3-2 vote at its Jan. 26 meeting.

Under the approved option, residents pay a flat rate that is $0.25 per 100 cubic feet (100 ccf equals 750 gallons) higher for water consumed over and above winter quarter consumption. This eliminates consumption variation for water used during the winter quarter and establishes a "seasonal rate" to be applied to consumption during the three non-winter quarters. The option maintains the tier structure for commercial accounts while adding a seasonal rate into the calculation.

The question was raised at the Jan. 12 council meeting whether the city's rates were high enough to encourage

water conservation. Recent data from the Metropolitan Council shows that despite lower water rates, White Bear Lake per-capita residential consumption remains in the lower 25 percent for the metro area, Rambow said. At 68.6 gallons per capita, consumption is less than the 75 gallons per capita goal recommended by the agency.

Under the new rate plan, households will pay a flat fee of $9 per unit for up to eight units of water, or 6,000 gallons. One unit equals 750 gallons or 100 ccf. Any amount over that will add $1.05 per 100 ccf during the winter quarter and $1.30 per 100 ccf in the non-winter quarters. The adjustment will occur over a two-year period with rates slightly increasing again starting Feb. 1, 2017.

The average household will see only a slight increase, it was noted, of about $20 per year. That amount, multiplied by the city's 7,500 households, would add $150,000 to the water fund.

Councilman Dan Jones wasn't sure $20 would make a difference. Councilman Kevin Edberg opposed the rate change option, noting that residents can use the same amount but pay a different fee.

Councilman Bill Walsh objected to

putting legal fees in the water fund.

City Attorney Roger Jensen told council it was unusual, but appropriate to have the water fund pay attorney fees for the litigation as the purpose of intervening was to protect the city's water system.

Rambow pointed out that legal fees related to Boatworks Commons were charged to the project and it is the same for the lake lawsuit, which has to do with pumping water from the aquifer.

Sewer rates are also increasing. In his report to council, Rambow noted that billable sewer consumption has decreased more than $174,000 over the last three years while costs have increased $75,000. The sewer fund balance, he said, decreased nearly 85 percent between 2007 and 2015.

To ensure sewer fund revenue is sufficient to meet operational and treatment costs, council approved a 7 percent rate increase in 2016 and a 6.5 percent increase in 2017.

The new rates will be effective for all utility billings processed after March 1, 2016.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council took the following action at its Jan. 26 meeting: • Approved a mutual aid agreement with Lino Lakes Fire Department.

The change affects how and when White Bear's Fire Department responds, explained Chief Tim Vadnais. Rather than wait for a summons from a fi re officer on scene as it does now, the department can be automatically called by dispatch based on the information at hand.

"White Bear has covered portions of Lino Lakes for a long time with ambulance service," Vadnais said.

"Over time, it has become apparent that to ensure greater fi refighter safety and more successful suppression outcomes, it is prudent to 'front load' the emergency scene as soon as possible with adequate resources. To do so, it's becoming more

common for fi re departments to enter into automatic mutual aid agreements whereby the dispatcher receiving the call will automatically call for mutual aid."

In the agreement, White Bear Lake will automatically respond to the southeast portion of Lino Lakes and Lino Lakes will respond to the northwest portion of White Bear Township.

It was noted in a memo from the city manager that the city of Lino Lakes recently separated from a three-city fi re district to form its own fi re response team that now operates under a Public Safety Department model.

• Approved purchase of a new dump truck chassis and plow equipment for $184,000. It should arrive in the fall.

• Heard from City Manager Ellen Richter that results from the recent senior survey will be

discussed at a 3 p.m. forum Feb. 10 at the District Center.

• Heard from City Engineer Mark Burch that the city's water supply is safe. News about the Flint, Michigan water supply containing lead prompted Burch to reassure residents that White Bear's water is tested every year for contaminants. A consumer confidence report regarding water quality test results is on the city's website.

• After adjournment, the council met in closed session with city attorney for a briefi ng on the lake lawsuit litigation. Attorney Roger Jensen said there was nothing new to report regarding the settlement but the mayor recommended the two new council members "get up to speed on the city's strategy."

AUGMENTATION: Alternative estimate in works FROM PAGE 1A

a pipeline from Sucker Lake to White Bear Lake is estimated at $67 million.

A cheaper alternative from East Vadnais Lake would cost $55 million.

Operations and maintenance cost was estimated at $570,000 per year for either pipeline.

Both lakes are located in Vadnais Heights about 4 miles west of White Bear Lake. Both alignment alternatives were assumed to have similar infrastructure systems and include water treatment to remove aquatic invasive species and solid particles.

Cost estimates, in 2018-19 dollars, are higher for Sucker Lake because it requires a 1,600-foot tunnel under I-35E, noted SEH senior engineer Patti Craddock.

Its alignment also has more contaminated sites and poorer soils for construction. The Vadnais Lake estimate includes road replacement and purchase of private property for the treatment plant.

Craddock said there were key assumptions in the study: Size of the system and a flow rate of 6,000 gallons pumped per minute.

Two billion gallons per year was selected as system size, historically the volume pumped when White Bear Lake was augmented with groundwater, she said. That would add about 2 feet on top of the lake.

DNR spokesman Jason Moeckel said additional firms provided independent peer review of SEH's work and the agency is confident the analysis provides an accurate concept level cost

estimate.

Members of the Friends of White Bear Lake (FOWBL), an augmentation advocacy group attending the DNR briefing, were left scratching their heads.

Greg McNeely, a Birchwood resident who also chairs the White Bear Lake Restoration Association, the plaintiff in the lake level lawsuit, told DNR representatives "the high number will make it tougher to have something happen."

"We knew the SEH number would be high, but we had no idea it would be the number you're estimating," McNeely said. "Some of us are here because we're trying to help this lake that has been in trouble for 10 years. This number is overwhelming. We have to be open, if we care about the lake, to another side.

And understand that side is way different than what we heard today."

McNeely is referring to an alternative cost estimate being prepared on behalf of FOWBL. Members commissioned the firm of Emmons and Olivier Resources to do its own study. Results aren't due until March 1, but the Friends group is expecting a price tag less than half the number provided in the SEH study.

During a question and answer session, an engineer for the city of North St. Paul asked what the study means for the settlement agreement?

"Obviously the focus on augmentation somewhat complicates efforts to implement terms of the agreement," replied Barb Naramore, DNR assistant

commissioner. "We continue to work on implementation of the terms of the agreement. We have done the work the Legislature directed us to do on developing cost estimates of augmentation."

Jim Markoe, president of the Lake Homeowners Association, an intervenor in the lawsuit, and a FOWBL board member, wanted everyone in the room to know that a clause in the settlement preserves the right to pursue augmentation.

The lake resident noted that the DNR has permitted two augmentation systems within five miles of White Bear Lake — on Lake Gilfillan and Snail Lake. "They are operating efficiently and safely," Markoe said.

"They did not require an environmental impact statement or extraordinary water quality standards.

Those lakes are cleaner and fuller than they were prior to augmentation."

When asked if he was shocked at the estimate, Sen. Chuck Wiger said "Yes. We'll need to examine the assumptions and put together a proposal. We need to keep the momentum going.

We all know how important this is for our region."

The senator added that the Sucker Lake option will be taken off the table.

Rep. Matt Dean had a similar reaction, telling constituents after the briefing that he was "very disappointed.

We obviously got a little sticker shock," he said.

There are other uncertainties, as well, that could affect the estimate.

A bi-weekly section where readers will be informed on subjects of seasonal interest, upcoming events and other timely topics.

NEW SEWER & WATER RATES– New sewer & water rates will be reflected in the bill you will be receiving at the end of February or first part of March, changes include lowering the water volume of each of the four tiers & adjusting each of the four tiers. There are also small changes to the sewer & stormwater rates. Please refer to the rate sheet that was sent with your December bill for more detailed information.

JUST A REMINDER - WINTER PARKING RESTRICTIONS ARE IN EFFECT – No vehicle may park on any road or street in the Township between the hours of 2 a.m. & 6 a.m. from now until April 1st, or any time after a snowfall of one or more inches, until the road is cleared curb to curb.

WANT TO CHAT WITH A SHERIFF’S DEPUTY – HERE’S HOW – The next Coffee with a Cop is scheduled for Tuesday, February 16 from 9-10:30 a.m. at the McDonalds at 2260 Rice Street, Little Canada, just north of Highway 36. The goal of events such as these is bring neighbors & deputies together in an informal environment to help improve relationships between the two, one cup of coffee at a time! Feel free to attend.

WATER EFFICIENCY GRANT FUNDS AWARDED – The Metropolitan Council, through funding from the Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment, has awarded White Bear Township a water efficiency grant. The goal of the water efficiency grant program is to improve municipal water use. This grant funding has enabled White Bear Township to provide rebates to residents who replace existing products with specified water efficient products through June 30, 2017 or until funds are depleted. Residents can claim 100 percent of the cost of the item, up to a maximum of $150 for Energy Star washers; $200 for WaterSense toilets; and $200 for irrigation controllers. Rebates are limited to 2 per house hold. Visit www. ci.white-bear-township.mn.us for more information about the Water Efficiency Rebate Program.

TIP OF THE MONTH – You can use the leftover water from cooking pasta or vegetables to water indoor plants, just let it cool first. You’ll be saving water & giving your plants a boost of nutrients.

design assumptions such as system capacity and a modified pipeline route, are all variables in the price.

Additional water treatment may also be necessary to meet quality standards beyond the basic filtration system included in the SEH cost estimates. The higher level of phosphorus in the river and Sucker Lake Chain compared to White Bear Lake is a particular concern, noted the engineer. Capital costs could increase by $23 to $40

million, depending on treatment technology. This could also increase operation and maintenance costs from $900,000 to $4.1 million per year, Craddock said.

Naramore pointed out that by statute, the impact on water quality must be part of the decision making when issuing a water appropriations permit. The DNR is in discussions with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regarding permitting requirements and water quality, she said.

It is hoped that bonding money procured from the 2016 Legislature will finance a pipeline. Who will pay operating and maintenance costs and how the project will be managed remain unclear at this point.

Area lawmakers plan to meet with all parties early in March, before the start of the session, to discuss answers to many remaining questions.

Meanwhile, the Friends group wants those who benefit from the lake to keep an open mind.

"The DNR estimate is not the last word," McNeely said. "There are less complicated system designs and routing options that dramatically reduce the cost estimate."

recorded a fall making it 6-11. At 138, Sheridan Draz picked up another pin moving the team score to 12 - 18. After loses matches at 145 and 152, the Zephyrs took control winning five of six, four of those by fall. Winning by fall were: Devin Fitzpatrick, Evan Lawrence, TJ Tumbleson, and John Vanstrum. Ben

Nelson added a technical fall 15-0 at 182. In addition, the Zephyrs wrestled Fridley and Mounds View.

Despite two more strong efforts the Zephyrs came up short in those duals.

Devin Fitzpatrick and Evan Lawrence went 3-0 on the day. Nate Kujawa and John Vanstrum finished 2-1.

This week will be important for Zephyr wrestling. On Wednesday, the Zephyrs are hosting a triangular with Minnehaha Academy and Benilde.

This will be a jammedpacked evening as the Zephyrs will be honoring the seniors, showcasing the first ever Mahtomedi youth wrestling team, and

White Bear Lake senior center Brianna Karg maneuvers for position against Park-Cottage Grove last week. The Bears are rolling along and on top the Suburban East Conference with a 10-0 record entering play this week. Karg had seven points against both Park and Stillwater.

The White Bear Lake girls' basketball squad completed their season sweep of both Stillwater and Park-Cottage Grove this past week.

In doing so coach Jeremy Post's club remained unbeaten in the Suburban East Conference with a 10-0 mark. They are 14-5 overall.

East Ridge (8-1, 15-3) is second in the SEC, followed by Roseville (6-4, 12-6), Park (6-4, 11-8), Cretin-Derham Hall (5-5, 9-7), Woodbury (4-5, 9-9), Mounds View (3-7, 7-12), Stillwater (1-9, 7-12), and Forest Lake (1-9, 4-15).

The Bears travel to Woodbury on Friday night. They beat the Royals 59-51 on Dec. 18.

Alison Hinck and Kate Brabenec each had 10 points in a 6250 win over Stillwater last Friday night.

Taite Anderson fi nished with nine points, Jordan Ferrand eight points, and Brianna Karg seven.

The Bears got past visiting Park 53-46 to start the week.

Hinck, who averages a team-best 10 points per game, had 15 points, and Ferrand joined her in double fi gures with 11 points. Anderson had nine points and Karg seven.

The Bears have seven games

remaining in the regular season portion of their schedule, six of the SEC variety and a non-conference clash with Minnetonka.

Highlighted on the schedule is a Feb. 16 contest at East Ridge, a team they beat 58-49 earlier this season. The importance of the game also involves seeding issues.

"East Ridge is in our section now," said Post. "So the game with them with be extra important. They have three very good girls in the middle and a good team. We're deeper than them and we want to win the conference title and get as high a seed in our section as we can."

The Mahtomedi boys' basketball squad split a pair of Metro East Conference tests this past week.

The Zephyrs dropped a 64-55 decision at the hands of visiting Tar-

but the Zephyrs ended up with a 47-27 victory over the Bears.

The fi nal match up for Saturday was against Faribault. Andress started the round with a pin against his opponent. The next Bear win went to Baker who earned a decision by defeating his opponent 11-5. Sophomore Josh Suedbeck moved into the 182 weight class for the day after Dittel’s injury and won his match with a pin. Two other matches won by forfeit helped the Bears but it would not be enough for a victory. The Bears lost this round 47-28 to end the day.

The Bears will fi nish their regular season on Tuesday (after press time) at home with a quadrangular against East Ridge, North St. Paul, and Tartan.

The Bears wrestling team suffered a series of losses last week as they head toward the end of the regular season. They faced Stillwater Thursday night in a dual meet, losing 60-10, and then went on to lose all three rounds of an invitational tournament at Robbinsdale Armstrong High School.

Thursday night’s match up against the Ponies featured a few highlights for the Bear wrestlers, including wins for J.J. Andress, T.J. Turinske, and Mike Williams. Andress defeated his opponent 15-0 to earn a technical fall for the team while Turinske and Williams each earned decisions for the Bears, but overall the Ponies dominated the meet, handing the Bears a tough loss for the night.

Saturday the Bears faced off against South St. Paul in the fi rst round of wrestling for the day.

Bill Foussard Chair, Explore White Bear

Jo Emerson Mayor, White Bear Lake

History of the Art Shanty Projects The origins of Art Shanty Projects comes from inspiration provided by unique ice fishing houses and diverse communities that come together on Minnesota’s frozen lakes each winter. Founders saw the potential to create an artists’ happening in an extreme environment; to embrace and reinvent a beloved cultural practice; and to encourage personal expression and community engagement through temporary structures and performances. The vision culminated in artists gathering to produce diverse, multi-disciplinary shanties and integrated programming on

Medicine Lake. Flattering media profiles and a fiscal sponsorship has aided in organizational evolution to its current beloved standing. Our inaugural year on White Bear Lake in 2014 warmly welcomed more than 11,350 people to the Shanty Village over 8 days—despite it being the coldest winter on record in 35 years. In lieu of programming on ice in 2015, Art Shanty Projects’ Board took on the organizational tasks of becoming a 501(c)3 nonprofit and hiring staff to focus on building infrastructure. In February, we held our largest and most successful fund-

raising endeavor to celebrate 10 years as an organization and benefit future programming.

Excitement in the past year continued to grow as ArtPlace America, one of the nation’s largest philanthropies dedicated to creative placemaking, made a substantial investment in the On-Ice Program to further integrate arts and culture into community planning and development for White Bear Lake.

Art Shanty Projects transforms a frozen lake surface into a creative community space that is part art gallery, part art residency and part social experiment. Thousands of people are drawn to our outdoor event during a time of year when weather often keeps residents isolated. The unpredictable wind-swept, snow-covered location challenges artists to generate platforms for unique experiences while contending with natural and human elements.

Past shanty artists have elicited public interactions around such varied activities and inspirations as stress-relieving practices in a geodesic dome, curling competitions, lively debate forums and soap-box proclamations, kinesthetic pedal-powered polar bear puppet rides, a life-sized music box, a giant zoetrope, and an imaginative elevator ride.

Artist-audience interactions have become integral to our mission.

In addition to the interactive multidisciplinary component of the shanties, programs of performance art happen throughout the four weekends of the festival. This work takes the form of multiple, smaller performances and interactions that are not necessarily tied to a particular shanty, sometimes take place within a structure, and sometimes happen in and among the visitors walking on ice. Past programming has included creation of a living snow globe, ‘snowga’ (yoga in snowsuits), spontaneous a cappella singing on the ice and ArtCar Parades.

AstroLounge (Artists: Patrick Erbe, Shannon Fletcher, Hanna Kjeldbjerg, Grace Lansing, Rachel Mogck, Rebecca Mogck, Airin Murphy, V.S. Ramstack, Kellie Reichert, Tim Schumacher, Ramy Selim, and Trevor Simmons) Local artist collective Err and Sunny Day Earth Solutions present the AstroLounge. Terrestrial sky-gazers and cosmic trailblazers are welcomed into the cozy comfort of this shanty’s lounge-inspired interior. Visitors can deepen their knowledge and indulge their curiosity relating to outer space and its many complexities through an array of perspectives ranging from the astrological to the astronautic.

Aurora Shanty (Artists: Alan Palazzolo, Leah Puffer, Kristen Murray and Rox Johnson) Bringing the magic of the night sky and wonder of the Aurora Borealis to what is mostly a daytime event, this solar-powered shanty will delight all with a data-driven, interactive light show.

Botanical ShanTea (Artists: Libby London, Emma Schroeder, Aaron Fitch, Lars Hansen, and Brian Hedburg) A permaculture-inspired tea garden and site for learning about, viewing, and tasting the abundance of Minnesota plants here in our cold climate. This shanty invites guests to walk through a frozen garden of native plants before joining the group inside to taste the abundance of the season.

Boiler Room Shanty (Artist: Clara Schiller and Amelia Foster) This shanty is designed to give visitors an external and internal peek at the rarely accessible space of a municipal boiler room. A custodian in uniform presents each guest with an official “Authorized Visitor” sticker inviting entrance to a room full of enigmatic boiler features: concrete floor, painted yellow lines, industrial signs, chain link fence, hanging light bulbs, dials, switches, breaker boxes, and pipes made of steel, copper and PVC. The “Box” Studio (Artist: Adam Jarvi) This shanty is a roving retreat for professional and aspiring artists to consider and contemplate the wintry milieu.

People inspired by the lake and landscape— color, light, moods, and sights—of a Minnesota winter are invited to practice their craft while visitors mingle with artists-in-residence at work and in the field.

Catch Your Limit (Artists: Rose Shetka, Martha Megarry, Peter Quinlan, Lori Quinlan, and David Megarry) This shanty takes inspiration from a 1960’s family ice fishing trip to Lake Mille Lacs. The shanty memoir includes a 2D comic strip inside a 3D re-creation of the original mid-century fish house in a comic book style. Visitors are invited to play along and participate with interactive activities and displays that include a set of bunk beds and cartoonish, child-safe, angling paraphernalia.

Art Shanties Matoska k Tonka k Pedal Bears (Artists: Allen Christian, Janet Groenert, Maryanna Harstad, Morgan L’Argent, Mary Jane LaVigne, Mina Leierwood, Jim Muellner, Richard Parnell, and Peter Schulze) The 20 foot long, 12 foot high, pedal-driven puppet and its 8 foot long, 5 foot tall bear cub will highlight language and legends. Participants will be challenged with a Dakota language word hunt, and visitors to the warming house can hear stories of Matoska Tonka (big white bear) and learn more about myths of the White Bear Lake moniker.

My Home is Minnesota (Artists: Julie Strand and Britt Udesen) This shanty is a collaborative effort between a poet and printmaker focusing on an exploration of voices that occupy the internal environment and exist within a given community. Visitors will encounter and create deďŹ nitions of home and Minnesota that respond to the natural elements of places as well as human interruptions in romantic landscapes.

Ouijatotter Shanty (Artists: Paul Owen, Jeff Berg, and Derek Ahlberg) This shanty encourages lighthearted fun and interaction with other spectators. As visitors approach, they will be visually attracted to the

dd fun-house circus exterior, and drawn in by the barking Ringleader spinning his enticing solicitation of the spectacle to be ridden and mystery inside. Willing participants ask a question they are yearning to know the answer to, and then jump on the Ouijatotter to solicit the answer. It teeter totters when several pairs of participants work together to answer questions posed.

Peace Train Shanty (Artists: Dave Greenlund, Pam Schweitzer, Dan Mackerman, and Peg Cavanaugh) This shanty is a place of printmaking where people of every age and physical or artistic ability can express their thoughts on creating peace. When visitors enter, an artist will assist them in crafting a roll of tickets to travel on a personal journey towards peace.

Performance HexaYurt (Artists: Ephraim Eusebio and Rachel Schwartz) A traditional yurt provides a home for untraditional presentations. Check out the newsletter insert for a schedule of this year’s rotating cast of performers each weekend.

Shanti Shanty (Artists: Yadin Dickstein and Sophie Vranian) From afar, this yurt on wheels is a dot of

All Weekends in February d ice; ffrom up color in the white of snow and close a icon of spiritual technology, ancient symbolism, and our place in the changing environment. Visitors outside can spin the shanty like a Tibetan prayer wheel, taking time to reect on the symbolism of circum-ambulation: compassion, prayer, dharma, or perhaps just the winter sun. Decorate your own prayer ag to add to the Prayer Flag Fence and partake with various scheduled rituals such as smudging, kirtan, meditation, sound bathing, and a Jewish Tent Blessing.

Slumber Party Shanty (Artists: Anthony Chapin, Erin Lavelle, Tami Traeger, Phillip O’Toole, Tim Harlan-Marks, Sarah Chapman, Alex Eninsche, Allison Osberg, Ryan Weber, and Thomas Menke) A giant enclosed bed on ice where guests of all ages attend slumber party up top after a visit with the monster underneath. Visitors enter the shanty through a secret passage and make their way through the dark corners under the bed.

An opportunity to don costumes of choice is presented before guests head up to the slumber party to meet the host and play games with other attendees.

Sound + Vision (XXX) (Artists: Julie Benda, Kelsey Bosch, Kathryn Miller) A collaborative project that endeavors to negotiate the mystery, femininity and physicality of frozen lakes. From a point near the geographical center of the water, this shanty invites visitors to explore how our senses of sound and vision inform our feeling of place.

Under the Lake / Sonic Shanty (Artists: Rebecca and Jonathan Loyche) An interactive installation that allows visitors to hear what is going on under the ice and how their presence affects the lake on a sonic level.

Audience members are also invited to subtly play the frozen lake as an instrument inside this sound chamber shanty.

The Shanty of Joy & Necessity (Artist: David Pitman, 2014) In the center of the artist-driven temporary community is the gathering point for artists, performers, and audiences to warm their hands and hearts as they learn more about Art Shanty Projects from the more than 60 volunteers and contracted staff who give life to this uniquely Minnesotan festival each year.
