Road work Otter Lake Road, between Hennessy Vista and County Road H2, is being repaved and is closed to through-traffic.

The work was scheduled to start June 8 and was expected to last approximately two weeks.

ST. PAUL — The district court judge in the lake level lawsuit was candid when parties presented their obligatory reports in her Ramsey County courtroom June 4.

Judge Margaret Marrinan called it "unf ortunate" that local newspaper articles say the lawsuit is meant to preserve properties for rich people who live on the lake.

"Bureaucrats are feeding that misinformation and doing a disservice to the lak e and the people ar ound that lake," the judge said. She did not name names.

"White Bear Lake is a regional asset that goes far beyond how long someone's dock has to be. This issue has to do with the health of the lake and the aquifer," she scolded.

Attorneys for the plaintiffs, the White Bear Lake Restoration Association (WBLRA) and its interv enor, the White Bear Lake Homeowners Association; and the defendant, the De partment of Natural Resources (DNR) and its interv enors, the city of White Bear Lak e and White Bear Township, were all present to give the judge a progress report, required under the December 2014 settlement agreement.

DNR General Counsel Sher ry Enzler, sitting in the jury box as an onlook er, responded to the judg e's comments by noting she has made pr esentations to the White Bear Lak e City Council. "T he viability of the lake is very important to their community's econom y.

It's important to separate the two cities present [in the courtroom] from the rest."

The judge agreed, adding tha t contrary to w hat is reported in the pa per, the cour t is not the "czar of the water world."

Attorneys provided the following summaries for the judge: White Bear Lake Restoration Association report Attorney Katie Crosby Lehmann listed the WBLRA's efforts for the judge.

White Bear grad inspires learners in Minnesota and Norway

by Kristine Goodrich Editor Tove Dahl is a uni versity professor, a r esearcher, director of a Norw egian summer camp and a knight.

While her pr ofessional endeavors are multifold, they have a common objecti ve: to inspire lifelong learning.

“I work to empo wer people through learning to become their absolute best,” said the Norway native, who grew up in North Oaks.

Dahl is a pr ofessor of educational psychology at University of Tromsø - T he Arctic University of Norway. The White Bear Lake High School graduate returns to Minnesota every summer to lead Skog-

fjorden — the Norwegian Language Village established by Concordia College in Moor head. In betw een teaching in northern Norway and nor thern Minnesota, she is a w ellpublished researcher.

Born in Norway, her parents brought her to Minnesota as a toddler because her father had a Fulbright Scholarship to the University of Minnesota. The Dahls settled in eastern North Oaks a few years later. On the border of two school districts, she and her parents chose the White Bear Lake Area School District because it was mor e diverse, Dahl said. She was the student speak er at her class of 1979 commencement ceremony.

Dahl Continued from page 1A After graduation Dahl spent a year in Norway studying at a music school.

She came back to Minnesota to attend Augsburg College, earning a bachelor's degree in English. She returned to Norway for another gap year to study textile weaving and spinning before returning to the states for graduate school. She has a doctorate in educational psychology from the University of Texas.

During her college years she worked two summers at a Norwegian language camp for Americans in Norway that was led by her mother, who now lives in Canada.

Other summers she worked at Skogfjorden. The camp immerses youths, who stay one to several weeks, in the Norwegian language, history and culture. The village, near Bemidji, opened in 1971 and its facilities were built with Norwegian-inspired architecture.

Dahl was a villager in her youth, then became a staffer and was named its dean in 1983 at age 22. As dean she both leads the curriculum development and leads village operations when camp is in session.

She has come back every summer for more than 30 years because it allows her to test her research involving childhood learning. And she loves seeing the blossoming of her villagers, most whom come for multiple summers.

The lessons learned at Skogfjorden go beyond Norwegian language and

culture, according to its dean. Exposure to a new culture inspires a child to explore new possibilities, she said.

“I get to watch them grow and push their envelope,” she said. “A little bit of discomfort opens their mind to new doors and to see themselves in a new light. We provide a safe place for them to take off.”

In 2008 the king of Norway recognized Dahl for promoting Norwegian language and culture in the U.S. She was named a knight of the First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit. A representative of the Norwegian government bestowed the honor at Skogfjorden. “It was really a recognition for our village, not just for me,” Dahl said.

Residing most of her adult life in Norway wasn't planned. She took her new husband, a Rochester native whom she met at Augsburg College, to her home country on a post-graduate school sabbatical. Professional opportunities for both kept them there.

After two years studying motivation and learning at the Norwegian Institute for Research in Adult Education, Dahl landed at the University of Tromsø.

She helped establish the university's psychology master’s program and now is its coordinator. Her school has been a leader of expanding the scope of psychology in Norway beyond what previ-

ously had been predominantly limited to clinical psychology, she said.

She currently teaches courses in the psychology of learning and the psychology of language.

Her varied research undertakings included a three-week road trip through British Columbia, the Yukon and Alaska with her mother a few years ago.

Along the Alaska Highway, they visited roadside attractions, documented signage and interviewed other roadtrippers they encountered along the way. Part of an international tourism study, their objective was to learn about what entices rural road-trippers to stop along their route. “We looked at how to break their bubble and make them care” about the area through which they are driving, Dahl said.

Her other endeavors have included working with the head of the Nobel Peace Prize selection committee to establish the Centre for Peace Studies at the University of Tromsø. It offers a master’s degree in peace studies and sponsors research and outreach.

Dahl also is a board alternate and expects to soon be appointed a board member of the Norway chapter of Save the Children, the largest global child support organization. Dahl is an advisor on its education initiatives.

In addition to Skogfjorden, Dahl also makes occasional trips back to Minnesota for professional endeavors and/

or to visit family. She came in March to give the keynote speech at the Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.

Her father, Tor Dahl, still lives in North Oaks and leads a business productivity consulting fi rm; its offi ce is in downtown White Bear Lake. He also is a Norwegian knight; he earned the recognition for creating business connections between the U.S. and Norway.

Her son lives in the Twin Cities and is taking a break from college while trying to decide on a major. He works as the cook at Skogfjorden.

Her husband, Curt Rice, has helped at Skogfjorden some summers. He isn't there this summer, however, as he is preparing for a new appointment.

Rice soon will become the president of Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Science, which is Norway's largest university. Until recently he was a linguistics professor at the University of Tromsø. He will be the fi rst non-native to ever lead a Norwegian college or university.

Rice's new post is a two-hour plane ride from their present home on the island of Tromsøya. Dahl hasn't decided whether she'll look for a new professional opportunity in the Oslo area. She may decide to stay, in which case they'll do a lot of commuting to see each other when their respective schools are not in session.

School board Continued from page 1A Nelson said he is a White Bear grad, has a bachelor’s degree in political science and works in the finance industry.

“As a young member of our community, my background would bring a fresh prospective to the school board. I can be the voice of our community representing and serving the people,” he said.

Neustadter has been a teacher for more than 25 years — for many years in general education in Chicago and currently as a special education teacher in St. Paul Public Schools. She grew up in Guyana, South America, has a master’s degree in education and has held leadership roles at her church.

“My desire to run for a seat on the school board stems from my concern that our educational system is not meeting the needs of all of our students,” she said. “I want to be a part of the change that will allow all of our children to succeed academically. I hope to be the voice of those who are not heard, an advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves.”

Newmaster is the media specialist at North Campus; she previously was the media specialist at Lakeaires and taught German. She also has been a parent volunteer in the district, she said. She also is a member of the Korean Cultural Association board of directors.

NO DENTAL INSURANCE?

She has a master’s in library science and a doctorate in curriculum and instructional systems.

“I want to use my experience and give back to the district I love,” she said. “I would like to see our district offer real choices to learners and parents based on best practice and research.”

Shevik served on the board from 2010 to 2013 and has volunteered as a PTA member, levy campaign captain and baseball and basketball coach. He has four daughters and is president and owner of Foundation Business Systems.

“I am a 25-year resident of White Bear Lake and would be honored to apply my experience as a parent, executive, entrepreneur, technology consultant and veteran to support and improve the White Bear Lake School District,” he wrote. “My prior experience as a board member allowed me to develop relationships with the administration, staff, students and community members. I would be proud to participate with community members to ensure our district continues to improve offerings and outcomes for our students.”

Sieleni is a White Bear grad who has three children, one of whom is a student at North Campus. She is leader of the district’s Unifi ed Special Olympics Bears Team.

$299/year INCLUDES:

We have a plan!

She said she “looks forward to advocating for all students, teachers and administrators to help ensure their overall success.”

Swartwood did not respond to the invitation to comment by press time.

Wilson served in the Army from 1971 to 1992 and taught eighth-grade earth science in the Fridley School District from 1993 to 2014. He is a White Bear grad, as are his three grown children. He’s a member of the North Suburban Evening Lions Club and volunteers as a precipitation recorder for the Ramsey County Conservation District and monitors the clarity of Priebe Lake for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.

“Throughout my life I’ve been focused on education,” he said. “My endeavors consist of practicing the Army’s teach-coach style of leadership, teaching and administering postgraduate-level instruction for the Department of Defense and 20 years of middle school teaching. Now, I’d very much like the opportunity to continue my educational service with the White Bear Lake School Board. As a board member, I would bring objectivity, equity and insight to all issues brought for consideration.”

Opinion You’re invited Earlier this year I was conANGLE OF tacted by a representative of VIEW the White Bear Center for the Arts and presented with the opportunity to exhibit a collection of my photography in the Ford Family Gallery at the center. I was told that someone, who wishes at this time to remain anonyPAUL DOLS mous, had provided a grant to make it possible.

I was completely surprised and moved by the generosity of this gesture and although it’s not something I’d been planning for, I accepted the challenge and immediately began thinking about what I could possibly include in a gallery exhibit.

I’ve been practicing photojournalism for more than 25 years and a significant portion of that time has been spent documenting life here in White Bear Lake and the surrounding area. During that time, the technology has evolved from chemically processing film and prints in a darkroom, into digital and high definition video processed and edited using a computer. While I sometimes miss the almost magical alchemy of processing black and white prints in a darkroom, I’ve chosen to embrace the technological innovations in photography and digital editing as they have become available. So far, while searching through the archives, I’ve found that regardless of how advanced the technology is, the timetested fundamentals of good photography still apply.

The search for photos from the past has turned out to be an emotionally charged scavenger hunt back through the years. The process has also proved to be somewhat random. Often, while searching through negative, print and digital photo archives for a specific photo, I have been surprised to find another, forgotten, image that also appeared to have exhibit potential.

As part of the job as a staff photographer for Press Publications, it’s been my responsibility to take my share of photos of accidents and natural disasters over the years. However, for the purpose of this upcoming exhibit, I have chosen to share a variety of feature photos, landscapes and portraits.

Fundamentally, I’ve enjoyed the job of visually documenting local life and think I’ve captured some memorable moments. While taking photos in a variety of situations, I’ve never taken for granted the trust and cooperation I’ve received from the people and organizations in this community.

At its best, the job of photojournalist has provided the opportunity to travel locally, offering a passkey to experiences and people I wouldn’t normally encounter in a daily routine.

I believe quality photography is a vital component in the journalistic mix of elements that make up a good newspaper (both in print and online) and am grateful for the Johnson family’s commitment to providing a trusted source for local news, starting with Gene and Kathy and now continuing with Carter and Amy. The world is awash in imagery. I’m speculating, but wouldn’t be surprised if the number of digital photographs produced and shared on various devices in the last five years rivaled the number produced in all of the previous years combined. Within this current landscape dominated by selfies, pictures featuring plates of food and posed groups of people looking at the camera, I’d like to believe that there is still a place for a well-timed photograph that captures a moment, conveys some emotion or tells a story.

I sincerely hope that you come and check out the exhibit at the White Bear Center for the Arts (a regional gem in and of itself). The chances are really good that you’re going see someone you know or maybe even yourself on the walls at your local arts center.

Hugo leading water conservation efforts Water is a valuable, but limited natural resource and all individuals play a part of ensuring this resource is maintained for future generations.

Water conservation has been a well discussed issue in the past few years in the NE Metro and throughout Minnesota. The main question is whether water is being pumped from the ground faster than it is being recharged. If so, the supply will not be adequate enough to keep up with the demand. Proper management of our water supply is a necessity for sustaining the current population and future growth of our communities.

So what can we do?

It starts with limiting the amount of water we take out of the ground, through conservation.

Every single home and business can help in the efforts of conserving water by taking notice of their water usage and making some changes that not only can help conserve water, but also save money.

Outdoor water use accounts for nearly half of the City of Hugo’s water use. Most lawns only need about 1” of water per week.

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

TOM WEIDT During dry spells, you can stop watering altogether and the lawn will go brown and dormant.

Once cooler weather arrives, the morning dew and rainfall will bring the lawn back to its usual vigor. This may result in a brown summer lawn, but it saves a lot of water. When you do use your irrigation system, water early in the morning to prevent water loss to evaporation and make sure your irrigation system is functioning properly by replacing broken heads and ensuring proper water coverage of the lawn.

The largest water users inside the home are toilets, clothes washers, faucets, and showerheads.

Many cities are implementing water rebate programs, which could help cover the costs of new, ef-

ficient fixtures that could save both water and money. General maintenance is important for fixtures.

Checking and repairing faucet leaks can save up to 140 gallons of water per week. Also, pay attention to your water use habits. A lot of water could be saved with small changes to the simplest things, like turning off the water while brushing your teeth or running your clothes washer only when you have a full load.

The city of Hugo is committed to seeking viable approaches and strategies to the conservation of water. Through our “Reduce, Reuse, Replenish” efforts, the city is working with many partners to disconnect some of the largest irrigation systems in the city from the groundwater supply, replacing them with systems that use storm water runoff instead. Work is also underway to recharge the groundwater supply by directing storm water to key areas and allowing it to infiltrate back into the ground. The city of Hugo is developing a water conservation rebate program that will offer an opportunity for residents to update their fix-

tures to high efficiency models.

Hugo is also reaching out and working with companies to offer our residents more chances to understand their personal water use through voluntary water audits. The city of Hugo is a leader in water conservation, and has completed an internal analysis of the water systems on city-owned properties. These efforts have resulted in modifications to the city’s irrigation systems, installation of additional soil moisture sensors, and routine inspection of irrigation systems. These changes have led to incredible savings.

So what I ask of you is to please keep water conservation in your thoughts and remember it is extremely important for sustaining access to water. It is our duty, as consumers of this resource, to understand the issue and take responsibility for being a part of the solution and strive to help maintain our supply of water through simple lifestyle changes that can and will protect our water supply for future generations.

— Tom Weidt is the mayor of Hugo.

Going green on your wedding day Last year in the United States, approximately 2.5 million couples were married, creating approximately 62 tons of carbon dioxide and can you imagine how much trash!

Weddings don’t need to be wasteful. You can do your part to help Mother Earth and lessen the impact without sacrificing style.

What can you do? Locate a local wedding venue where you can hold the ceremony and reception in the same place.

If you are lucky, maybe the venue offers lodging, too. This will cut down on guest travel and create fewer emissions in the air. Hosting both the ceremony and reception in one location will also eliminate the need for decorating two different locations saving you money and time while cutting back on waste. Outdoor wedding locations, can help show off the beauty of the environment, but it’s important to select a venue with a rain day option. Have your heart set on the big church ceremony? Follow it up with a reception at a venue that supports green causes.

The rings – Seek out a green jeweler. Many use recycled materials. Explore vintage bands or melting down old pieces you no longer use. Ask about the origin of your gems and select a fair labor gem.

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

MISSIE SWANSON Avoid the purchase of a “bloodstone” gem.

The dress – Consider reusing or renting a bridal gown. Reflect on the sentiment of wearing a loved one’s dress; your mother’s or perhaps a sister or special aunt.

Find a good tailor and style it your way. Explore a second hand wedding boutique. Research gown rental options; the guys can rent a tux, why can’t the bride rent a gown? If you do purchase a new gown, find a dress you will wear again or that you can donate to a worthy cause.

Invites – Choose recycled paper or a great paper alternative such as cotton, hemp or bamboo.

Use a postcard for your “save the date” and save on postage, too! Virtual RSVP sites save paper, while a wedding website can offer helpful wedding information for your guests like maps, lodging info, important

phone numbers and maybe a few fun photos of the happy couple.

Flowers & Favors – Pollinator-friendly, nonGMO plants and seedlings make great centerpieces and can double as a take-home keepsake for your guests. If you are planning an outdoor ceremony, ask venue coordinators if you can see some seasonal garden photos so you know what to expect.

Farm to Table-- Select seasonal or local farmers market menu items.

Do not use disposable dinnerware. If your selected venue does not provide china plates or glassware, consider renting these items.

Opt for organic wine and beer brands. Use soy or beeswax candles in place of petroleum based options. Donate leftover food to a nearby homeless shelter.

Once you locate that “green” venue don’t forget to ask about any preferred vendor programs.

Many venues have preferred vendors that are also environmentally conscious and will provide a discount for your special day!

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

Ramsey County Sheriff Reports The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents: WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • The son of an elderly man on Golden Ponds Lane reported someone was trying to scam his father. The father said “Dave from Jamaica” had sent him checks and credit cards and instructions to wire money. The father had cashed a few checks at Wal-Mart but hadn't wired any money. Multiple messages from the scammer, some threatening, were on the father's voicemail. The report was under investigation.

• Staff at Applebee's reported that an intoxicated woman drove away after they refused to serve her any more drinks. The woman was located and pulled over at Highway 96 and Hodgson Road. She refused to complete field sobriety tests, telling the deputy: “You must be a rookie if you can't tell I am drunk.” She tested 0.23

and 0.22 on breathalyzers. The Shoreview woman, 61, was booked for third-degree DWI. • A woman on Roth Place reported May 31 that one of her license plates had been stolen and used in a gas drive-off. She reported the alleged theft after receiving a letter from a gas station demanding payment.

• A dog reportedly escaped from its yard and attacked another dog in the 2600 block of South Shore Boulevard.

The aggressor dog's owner was issued two citations.

• A boy, 14, at the 916 Bellaire School reportedly threw desks and chairs June 1. A chair struck a staff person and broke her finger. The boy was arrested and a report was referred to the county attorney for possible assault, property damage and/or disorderly conduct charges.

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A man, 31, reportedly cut his father on the neck with a 4-inch pocket knife May 27 on Westfield Lane. The son reportedly attacked after his father demanded he turn the volume down on his computer. The father was taken to a hospital but his injury wasn't life-threatening. The father was uncooperative and didn't want to press charges. The son claimed he cut his father because his father was choking him. The county attorney opted not to prosecute.

• A small dog reportedly chased and bit a man May 29 in the 700 block of Belland Avenue. The man was visiting a neighbor of the dog's residence.

That neighbor reported that the dog has a history of chasing and biting people and the dog's owner confirmed that is true. The animal control officer is investigating to determine whether the dog should be declared potentially dangerous.

• A Vadnais Lake Drive resident reported a fraudulent tax return on May 29.

• A boy, 14, was suspended from AFSA High School on May 29 for the remainder of the year for harassing another student. He reportedly sent inappropriate text messages and wrote something derogatory in his classmate's yearbook. The report was under investigation and the student could also face a criminal charge.

• Two young men were cited for fishing in a canoe on Vadnais Lake on June 2. They claimed not to have noticed the “no boating” signs.

• Theft from auto was reported June 2 in the 100 block of County Road F. • A man on Heritage Drive reported June 2 that he had ordered a laptop online, sent a $1,200 money order and never received his computer. The website from which he made his purchase had gone offline. The report is under investigation.

Letters to the Editor Necessary zoning Dan Jones WHITE BEAR LAKE — Recently there have been several letters criticizing the city of White Bear Lake’s current zoning requirements regarding the business location of Just Two Bikes in the 2100 block of Fourth Street. Current zoning requires a conditional use permit to operate a retail business in the Diversified Central Business (DCB) district. DCB zoning is intended for business areas close to downtown and serve as a transition, or buffer, adjacent residential neighborhoods.

To date the owner of the building or business has not applied for a conditional use permit or formally come before the Planning Commission or the City Council.

The letters questioning the city’s zoning requirements don’t provide all the facts. A zoning amendment is just one matter to address for Just Two Bikes in order to become a new business. All businesses in the DCB district must provide parking located behind the building.

The state (not the city) requires: an accessible route from parking area to and through the building, an accessible ramp/doorways, fully accessible unisex bathroom, and a certificate of occupancy compliant with all state and local codes.

The Metropolitan Council requires a Sewer Availability Charge for all new businesses.

You can disagree with the bureaucracy but you have to be fair to all the existing businesses that that comply with current state and local regulations and the cost that goes with them.

The final point is that the potential location on Fourth Street is currently a single-family home that was quickly converted to a business without complying

with any of the above requirements. This location has residential homes directly to the west and north of the property. If you lived next door, wouldn’t you want the city to make sure your property is protected?

It’s often said “you can’t fight city hall.” But there hasn’t been a “fight.” City staff has just been the messenger. The real question to ask is why the home and/ or business owner has not applied for or asked the City Council for a permit.

Editor's note: Dan Jones is a White Bear Lake City Council member.

tables are missing from the picnic area at Town Hall.

Our 4-H members, under the leadership of Matt Slama, built them. After spending their time, money and labor for their community project of which they were very proud, they must be very disheartened to think they got legs and walked away.

I was told I could no longer volunteer to care for the ball field that is in memory of our son. It appears it now gets little or no attention. There is now a chain and a padlock to secure the gate. Is it because the tables are gone?

Very unfortunate

Easier launch

Joyce Welander GRANT — It is very unfortunate that our Grant City Council is an entity engaged in political debate in which some members falsify the truth to get attention.

At the March council meeting, deputy mayor Jeff Huber proclaimed that our local 4-H left our city because of lack of bathroom and water facilities. Never in the 50 years I was a leader of the club did I ever hear such a statement from the lips of members or parents. The 4-H’ers proved their integrity and pride with their projects they completed in this city. No more, however. They are gone.

You Secondly, my husband Art was on the Town Board.

I was here when Larry Lanoux contacted him in 1980 before moving here to inquire about animals and Art told him he was grandfathered in. Huber somehow secured from the city files a letter sent by a former clerk claiming that Lanoux needed a special use permit. But that letter wrongly stated that the Lanouxs had only 10 acres of land.

Last but not least, two of the four heavy wooden

Dave Zachor WHITE BEAR LAKE — There wasn't a dock at Ramsey County Beach for several years. This was a royal pain for those trying to launch boats.

Last fall, I addressed this with Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt. She got right on it and found a dock and had it in place for the fishing opener this spring.

Thank you on behalf of the many folks who use our lake and launch at that location.

WHITE BEAR PRESS

Lawsuit Continued from page 1A Taking a leadership role in encouraging water use of 75 gallons or fewer per person per day was one of the goals, she said. They are sending communications to residents with private wells who are within 2 miles of the lake encouraging use of water meters, as well as low flow/flush toilets and soil moisture sensors and rain gauges for irrigation systems.

The restoration association has updated its website, wblra.org, to include a "conservation tab" linking users to numerous resources. The group is also active in Race2Reduce and is assisting the nonprofit through funding and direct involvement in its education efforts. Association members helped secure a $20,000 grant through the McNeely Foundation for its educational programming. Homeowners Association President Jim Markoe is also a private funder of the organization.

Also listed in the plaintiffs’ report were mailings on water conservation for private well users in Dellwood in cooperation with its mayor, Bob Nuffort, and ongoing discussions with two private golf courses.

It was noted in the final paragraph of the WBLRA report, filed May 26 by attorneys for the plaintiff, Mike Ciresi and Katie Crosby Lehmann, that meetings have been held between the lobbyist hired by certain individual leaders legislators and on settlement implementation issues.

The report ended with this statement: "Unfortunately, several of the cities that would be required to convert from groundwater to surface water from the St. Paul Regional Water System are opposed to any legislation to implement the settlement. To date, neither lobbying efforts nor meeting with city representatives has resulted in a positive legislative appropriation."

Lehmann told the judge her clients are concerned cities will try to excuse themselves from conservation measures, saying she feels there is already resistance to Race2Reduce initiatives.

DNR Assistant Commissioner Barb Naramore, also spectating from the jury box, said she wouldn't call it resistance, but a step back to ask more questions about what it means for specific communities.

To that, the judge replied: "We can all improve, for Pete's sake. There are ways to discuss things without paranoia."

DNR report For the DNR's part, its report by assistant attorney generals Jill Schlick Nguyen and Kimberly Middendorf indicated work is continuing with the University of Minnesota to measure evaporation rates from the surface of White Bear Lake, but no data is yet available. Also noted was the DNR's adoption of conservation measures in the public water supply planning process for the 13 Phase 1 and 2 communities. The plan must include water conservation, supply and demand reduction measures and be consistent with the Metropolitan Council's master supply plan. These plans must be updated every 10 years. Discussions began June 5 with the 13 communities to share strategies.

Four of the six Phase I communities and

several of the seven Phase II are opposed to shifting their communities from groundwater to surface water. The DNR report said the reason was in large part because there is not a common acceptance of either the groundwater sustainability problem in the north and east metro or that the 13 communities should be singled out to resolve the sustainability issue or the White Bear Lake water level issue.

With that opposition in mind, the parties to the settlement worked together to get $1.5 million from the Legislature to evaluate long-term water supply sustainability in the north and east metro. This did not gain approval.

A project management team has also been created to develop a five-step process to set a protected elevation on or before Nov. 1, 2016 as required by the settlement agreement.

The department has never set a protected elevation for a lake the size of White Bear or a lake not part of a river system, so must first develop protocol. The goal is to have a recommended elevation for the commissioner's review by May 2016.

Lastly, DNR attorneys reported that it had notified both plaintiffs per the settlement agreement that it had received a water appropriation permit application from White Bear Township. The township actually decreased the amount requested by 100 million gallons. That is still under review.

Marrinan asked if a community not working on conservation would have consequences? "Yes," replied Julie Ekman, DNR conservation assistance and regulatory section manager, "but we have not yet reduced an existing permit."

White Bear Lake report The city inventoried its efforts thus far regarding water conservation. Those listed under bullet points provided by attorney Monte Mills included the city-sponsored event at City Hall May 2 that included interactive displays, a native plant sale and Race2Reduce information; themed coloring books, low-impact landscaping workshop at City Hall; pledge cards, the national mayor's challenge and social media.

The city is promoting sale of rain barrels and drafting seasonal water conservation rates for consideration by the council midyear.

White Bear is also working with Saputo, its highest industrial water user, to identify ways to conserve use. Production meters were replaced to more accurately measure water leaving treatment plants compared with water volume consumed to determine distribution system loss.

White Bear Township report White Bear Township attorney Chad Lemmons talked about the town program to review infrastructure with the goal of locating and repairing leaking pipes. He also noted that Town Clerk Bill Short serves on the Northeast Metro Groundwater Management Area Advisory Committee and meets regularly with administrators to review the issues being addressed.

Judge’s response Following the progress reports, Lehmann

Historic District phase 2 construction ordered MAHTOMEDI — The second phase of road and utility work in the Historic District got the goahead from the Mahtomedi City Council last week.

The $3.8 million project will occur in the summer and fall of 2016.

The work will include new roads, new water mains in some areas and storm sewer upgrades.

Eight roads are in need of full pavement reconstruction, as well as new curb and gutter: Iris, Hickory, Grove, Fir, Elm and Dahlia streets as well as Arbor Avenue, Park Place and a portion of Park Avenue between Iris and Hickory.

Summit Avenue and the alley between Elm Street and Mahtomedi Avenue will be resurfaced via a process called pavement reclamation. There is currently no curb and gutter and it won't be added.

Park Avenue between Hickory and Dahlia streets will receive a mill and overlay resurfacing and curb and gutter repair where needed.

Estimated total cost is $3.76 million. Of that, $1.69 million will come from the city's utility funds, $1.57 million will come out of the city's street improvement fund and $500,000 will be assessed to property owners who live on those streets.

For most residential properties, the city assesses a preset rate per unit for road work that is not dependent on the actual cost of the work: $5,200 for complete reconstruction, $2,700 for reclamation and $800 for mill and overlay. Corner lots on which more than one

abutting street is being improved will be assessed only once. Corner lots will be assessed proportionately if not all of the abutting roads are being improved (for example, they will be assessed half if one of two streets is improved).

The couple of multifamily and tax-exempt properties will be assessed on a front-foot basis.

Before construction begins, the city will hold a neighborhood meeting at which affected property owners can ask questions. An assessment hearing will be held after construction is completed in fall 2016.

Additional action taken by the Mahtomedi City Council at its June 2 meeting included: • Approved hire of a new maintenance operator in the Public Works Department. The city received 20 applications and selected Thomas Schwichtenberg. He currently works in maintenance for the Metropolitan Airports Commission during the winter and as a building and grounds employee at Fort Snelling State Park in the summer.

• Approved an amendment to a joint powers agreement allowing the YMCA to provide the lifeguards at Mahtomedi Beach this year. The YMCA is taking over for the city of Maplewood.

• Directed staff that the city's 2016 operations budget should not include any new expenditures. A tentative timeline for developing the budget also was approved.

WATER CONSERVATION TIPS OF THE WEEK – • Your toilet is not a wastebasket – don’t use it to flush away cigarette butts, Kleenex, floss and wet wipes.

• Put a few drops of food coloring in your tank. If colored water shows in the bowl without flushing, there’s a leak and repairs are needed.

• If you happen to live in an older home with original fixtures, you may be flushing at a rate of 5 to 7 gallons per flush. You can save water per flush by installing a toilet dam. www.facebook.com/WhiteBearTownshipMNOfficialSite

"I will not lose sight of setting a trial date," Marrinan assured her. "If we assume the worst, we probably need to double the time it will take. We are already scheduling into 2016 so it's highly unlikely there will be a trial in 2016. Early 2017, perhaps."

The judge said she was impressed with the conservation measures, but disappointed with the lack of unity on the part of the 13 communities.

“There seems to be dissatisfaction and unhappiness with some municipalities about this whole issue.

Not all cities have joined in this. What is the attitude of the non-joined cities?" she asked the DNR lawyer.

"They are engaged in water supply planning as required by law," said Schlick Nguyen.

Naramore also answered the judge's question, noting that the Phase I communities are not all convinced there is a problem to which their water use is contributing.

"That is a common theme. They didn't agree with the option we outlined in the settlement. And there are concerns about capital and operating costs, autonomy and compatibility with the surface water supply," she said.

"Frankly," Naramore told Marrinan, "there is a deep suspicion of the DNR, the Met Council, the plaintiffs and St. Paul Water Services."

Marrinan called it "highly ironic" that so many were given the opportunity to join the lawsuit but declined and now are unhappy with the carefully crafted settlement. "They could have joined the party earlier," she said.

The assistant commissioner suggested the settlement calendar does not sync up with the USGS study, due in November 2016.

"There is a sense from the communities to see the results of that study before beginning a [surface water] feasibility study. In all candor," she added, "this goes to a deep con-

Matoska Memories

cern these communities have with something that would fundamentally change their water system. They are very cautious and skeptical."

Augmentation also came up. The judge said she was "taken aback" when she saw Rep. Matt Dean's proposed bill to spend $100,000 on an augmentation study of White Bear Lake through Sucker Lake.

The DNR attorney assured Marrinan "none of these parties were involved."

At the conclusion of the reports, the judge said she was "happy to see the cities' activities."

She also said she hoped not to read anything more about the haves and have nots in the [White Bear] community.

Public safety Briefs Driver killed after overcorrecting A North St. Paul man died after he lost control of his vehicle on Highway 96 in Grant June 2.

John W. Schmidt, 24, died at the scene. According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Schmidt was westbound on Highway 96 approaching Kimbro Avenue N. when he strayed out of his lane while going around a curve. He overcorrected and went into a ditch. His Camry rolled and struck a tree. The accident occurred just before midnight. Schmidt was wearing a seat belt. It wasn't immediately known whether alcohol was a factor, according to the State Patrol report.

Dental office thief sentenced A woman who embezzled from a Vadnais Heights dental office and its patients was sentenced last week.

Kristine Marie Hansen, 41, of Forest Lake, was sentenced to 60 days of home detention, jail with

work release or community service. She also will spend 10 years on probation and must pay restitution to her victims.

She pleaded guilty in April to a felony count of theft by swindle and five other charges were dismissed.

Hansen worked at Advance Family Dental from 2008 to 2013. According to the criminal complaint, Hansen stole more than $50,000 from the accounts of patients who didn't claim their refunds. She also fraudulently reduced the bills for dental services provided to her family members by more than $6,000.

An “outburst at an unemployment hearing” after she was fired led staff at the dental office to suspect she had been taking money, according to the complaint.

Man charged with fleeing police and possession of drugs, stolen property A White Bear Lake man allegedly ran from a police officer and tossed a box of drugs after he was found riding a stolen bicycle in Oakdale last month.

Jeremy David Shearen, 35, was charged May 26 with two counts of felony drug possession, a gross misdemeanor count of receiving stolen property and a misdemeanor count of fleeing police.

According to the criminal complaint: An Oakdale

police officer stopped Shearen on May 22 because he matched the description of a report of a suspicious man seen approaching multiple houses. Shearan didn't answer the officer's questions. The officer ran the serial number of the bicycle and found that the $900 bicycle had been reported stolen.

Shearan then fled on foot, according to the complaint. An Oakdale sergeant who had just arrived on the scene gave chase and reportedly witnessed Shearen discard a small box from his pocket. Shearen was later found hiding in the area and was taken to a hospital after reportedly admitting he had ingested methamphetamine. In a later interview Shearan reportedly said he ran because he was high and didn't want to go back to jail. He denied dropping a box and claimed a friend had given him the bicycle. The box contained three Xanax pills, an Oxycodone pill and a baggie with methamphetamine, according to the complaint.

Shearan has multiple prior misdemeanor convictions, including a possession of burglary tools charge for which he is on probation. He also is facing a fleeing police on foot charge in Dakota County.

Sports Zephyr lacrosse outlasts Raptors in section finals The Mahtomedi’s boys lacrosse team once again advances to the state championship round after topping No. 1 seed East Ridge High School last week.

On June 9 it faces No. 1 seeded Bloomington Jefferson for the state tournament.

For the second time in as many years, the team was victorious over section rival East Ridge.

The game featured five lead changes with hard-nosed play by both squads.

A strong press-out defense with aggressive ground-ball play by the Zephyrs kept the Raptor offense off-balance for the majority of the game, and the defense always held strong when threatened. The Raptors held possession during a nearly 4-minute span and tallied 10 shots in the third quarter, coming away empty handed.

Up to that point, the Zephyrs held a 6-5 ad-

vantage. Shortly thereafter, attack man Matt Schwartz tallied his third goal of the game with just over 2 minutes remaining in the third quarter to give the Zephyrs a 7-5 edge going into the fourth quarter.

The fourth quarter featured more scoring by the Zephyr attack men as Ethan Grover and Conner Lawless gave the Zephyrs a 10-6 lead with just over 5 minutes remaining in the game. Grover rolled his defender on the crease for a score and his second goal of the game. Lawless picked up a nice feed on a fast break clear from defenseman Quinn Lemke for a nice inside-out dodge and shot from the right island 22 seconds later.

Lawless picked up his second goal of the night on a quick stick shot following a feed from Matt Schwartz at the point.

The remainder of the game featured a

The Bears’ 4 x 800 team take the awards podium at state after taking fifthplace honors.

ST. PAUL — The White Bear Lake boys track team took fifth place in the 4 x 800 relay at the state meet at Hamline University Saturday, earning All State honors. Team members Dylan Gast, Josh Truen, Fernando Benitez and Garrett Shah logged a time of 8:00.46, the second- fastest in school history.

The Bears finished a little over 3 seconds out of fourth place behind Mounds View.

White Bear's Miriam Probst also had a big day in wheelchair events.

The sophomore won the 200-meter wheelchair division race in 1 minute, 1.37 seconds to cut more than 30 seconds off her seeding time of 1:32.67. She also raced in the 100 wheelchair, taking second place with 31.75.

Marissa Bartels of Delano won the race in 23.98.

Probst took second in discus with a throw of 21 feet, 2 inches. Only Bartels of Delano, who holds the all-time mark of 53-8, stood in her way.

Bear Makala Keefe came in seventh in discus with 127-4, 4 feet better than her second-best throw of 123-6. She finished just 5 inches out of sixth place.

Keefe also finished ninth in shot put at 402.5, missing eighth by 3.5 inches. She hit her best mark on her final throw of the competition.

Katie Brabenec finished right behind Keefe in shot put, earning 10th at 39-5. Brabenec eclipsed 35 or more on all but two of her throws.

Gavin's legacy erupts in Mahtomedi's section championship victory

Our first official un-official summer weekend, that is the first weekend of summer break from schools, is in the books.

I think I could say it worked out pretty nice. Saturday was sunny and temperatures and humidity were in the comfortable range. It did rain but it was an overnight rain and really didn’t spoil outdoor plans. Late Saturday and Sunday’s rain did bring big rainfall totals; I totaled 1.04 inches. No severe weather was reported with it as well. We’re beginning to settle into an active weather pattern. We’ll see if this period can live up to its reputation as the wettest on average.

the Raptors had the Zephyrs on the edge of elimination.

“They're a tough club,” Hardgrove said. “They had everything in their favor.”

Mahtomedi managed to load the bases in the bottom of the ninth to set up Pratumwon's big moment. While Zephyr fans will remember that hit, they and team both hope for even more at state this week.

Last year, the Zephyrs took a surprising quarterfinal exit via Lakeville South to the consolation bracket. The Zephyrs reached the consolation final before Elk River handed them a 7-3 loss.

MAHTOMEDI — In one at-bat, Gavin Pratumwon became a living legend for Mahtomedi baseball June 2.

As the Zephyrs rallied to beat East Ridge 7-6 for the Section 4AAA championship, the junior player drove home the winning runs in the bottom of the ninth inning with bases loaded and two outs.

The fun part is, Pratumwon came up from the JV team and until then had not played at bat.

“He's a line-drive hitter, and I thought he could put the bat on the ball with authority, and he certainly did,” confirmed Zephyr coach John Hardgrove.

Shortly after the section championship, Pratumwon could be found signing baseballs from fans and getting his picture taken with fellow students. He already has a growing reputation among teammates.

“Everybody knows Gavin,” Zephyrs pitcher Sean Hjelle

said. “Gavin is a great kid.

He's a great player. He's going to do awesome things next year.”

Hardgrove inserted him into the lineup for the ninth to hopefully give added punch to Zephyr bats. That worked swimmingly.

“It just felt awesome,” Pratumwon said.

Mahtomedi needed the big boost. It saw a 1-0 lead through four innings turn into a 3-1 deficit in the top of the fifth before it clawed back to retake a 4-3 lead in the sixth.

“For our team to come battle back with our backs up against the wall multiple times was just amazing,” Hjelle said. “We've been saying it all year – we have each others' backs.”

East Ridge forced extra innings in the top of the seventh at 4-4. After a scoreless eighth, a two-run top of the ninth by

MANITOU DAYS MARKETFEST | June / July, 2015

Student writing contest winning entries This year's Manitou Days student writing contest challenged District 624 students to write about a piece of White Bear Lake area history. Nine top essayists were selected for recognition. The winners were rewarded with $50 courtesy of the White Bear Lake Rotary Club, an invite for their family to attend a pizza and pool party at the White Bear Country Inn and an invite to march in the Manitou Days parade.

This was fun wasn’t it? I hope you learned a lot from this paper. I also hope that this paper has inspired you to write your own paper.

White Bear Lake has one of the best school systems in Minnesota!

White Bear Lake’s First People Andrew Greene Second grade, Matoska International

The Wildwood Amusement Park Isaac DeBilzan Fifth grade, Lincoln Elementary

Between Tamarack Nature Center, Cup and Cone, Monkey House, and the Pine Tree Apple Orchard, there are many enjoyable places to visit in White Bear Lake area. But an attraction that existed more than 100 years ago on the south shore of White Bear Lake was far more popular than all of them.

If I was a kid in 1889, I would have visited the Wildwood Amusement Park to ride the largest rollercoaster in the world and experi- DeBilzan ence the thrill of the world’s first Tilt-a-Whirl, which was manufactured in Minnesota. I would have paid 20 cents to ride on a street car to get to the 20-acre park.

I would be in shock as a huge airplane filled with tourists whirled a few feet from my head, taking them on awe filled journey of Wildwood. I would rent a swimsuit for 25 cents and slip down the long toboggan slide that shoots down into the lake.

Fishing would be my next destination. I would rent a boat and cast for some sunnies. When it would get dark, I would relax and enjoy the singers and dancers.

I think the Wildwood Amusement Park is fascinating because the park had things that no other amusement park had back then, attracting 1,000 visitors daily.

Wildwood was a pretty inspiring and unique place, but sadly, in 1908, a fire let loose in the park and destroyed most of it. Then, with the onset of the depression, there was not enough funds to restore all of Wildwood. The park then had to close in 1932.

I am hoping the mayor builds something as exciting as this for kids soon in White Bear Lake. Go Bears!

White Bear Lake School History Alexina Erickson Fourth grade, Willow Lane Elementary

Have you ever thought about the history of the school you are going to or went to? I’m guessing you probably haven't, but that’s fine.

In this paper I am going to tell you about the history of the school's in White Bear Lake.

Here is the fact of how it all started: Early in January of 1857, James F. Murray and other White Bear Lake settlers had decided that they would like a school district which would be separate from the Little Canada district. A private French-language school started Erickson in 1853 in Vadnais Heights and it was started

by Eliza LaBore. The French-language school was in the Little Canada school system.

The first public school in White Bear Township was started in 1857. James F. Murray gave his land for school grounds. In 1857 volunteers helped to build the first schoolhouse, it cost about $100 to build. Cheap school isn’t it? The schoolhouse was really built with tamarack logs. It was 20 feet square and had 2 windows on each side. The windows were first covered with skins. Curious Indians got to look through the skins into the schoolhouse. Later, they got glass windows.

The same year Thomas H. Murray took the first survey in the new school district. He found out that there were 47 kids living in the new White Bear Lake district. Those kids were between the ages 4-21. The first person to teach in the new schoolhouse was Laura Aubrey. In 1858 Ms. Aubrey started teaching 12-15 students in the new schoolhouse. For ten years she taught her students and let them inside her home to hear piano music and drink homemade ginger ale. After Ms. Aubrey moved to England, White Bear Lake abandoned the schoolhouse.

Ten years later, they built a new school, it was called the West Side school. The school cost $1,500 to build. Between 18681896, a lot of children in the White Bear Lake district went to this school. First grade to high school went to the West Side school.

The school had two rooms and it also was out in the country.

In 1887 the new people on the school board decided that the school population was big enough to make a new graded school.

The new school had 4 rooms and it cost about $10,000 to build.

It had advanced furniture and heating. The principal was Professor John F. Mackay. Each teacher taught a combination of grades.

There were two teachers for the 6th thru 12th graders and one teacher for kindergarten thru 5th graders. Do you think that would be hard? I sure do. But it would also be good because when you are in a lower grade you’ll be able to learn what the bigger kids learn.

In the meantime, the student population was so big that they needed to divide the kids up by where they lived. They either went to Webster School or West Side School In 1894 kindergarten-8th grade moved to Webster School and the West Side School became the high school. By 1900 there were about 400 kids in the school district.

In 1901 White Bear Lake school district had 9 teachers. The teachers were high school or college trained. Women got $48.89 for a month. Men got $111.11 for a month. I think it’s unfair that men got more than women! Don’t you?

Meanwhile, the schools in the White Bear Lake school district were so good that families that did not live in the district wanted to go to White Bear Lake schools. They also wanted transportation to the schools. Those families were accepted. In 1918 they built a new junior-senior high school. The school cost $75,000 to build.

Between 1950 and 1967 eighteen schools and additions were built. More than half of those schools are still current White Bear Lake school district buildings today. A few examples are Vadnais Heights Elementary School, Hugo Elementary School, Lakeaires Elementary School, Parkview Elementary School, which is now called Matoska, and White Bear Lake High School, which is now North Campus. In 1967, 624 teachers were teaching in the White Bear Lake School District.

Between 1967 and today we have 17 schools in White Bear Lake school district and about 8,100 kids that are going to White Bear Lake schools, plus, White Bear Lake School District has over 1,200 full-time and part time employees. Isn’t that way more than back then?

White Bear Lake is a great town with stores, houses and food.

We get to enjoy the lake, the parks, Marketfest and the wonderful community. White Bear Lake has changed a lot over time, but even the first people may have enjoyed some of the things in nature that we enjoy today.

What would happen if we went back to the time of the first people in White Bear Lake?

They found trees, forests, and animals. They hunted for food and picked berries. They grew squash and beans. They hunted for bison in A. Greene the south and deer and elk in the north. They also fished for food in the lake. Living near White Bear Lake let them have clean water. The first people were Native Americans and they moved with the seasons. They came here in the summer because it had the food they needed and there was variety. The Native Americans used deer and buffalo to make clothes and tipis.

They had a much different life than us. I am interested in this topic because it is fun learning how the people before us lived.

White Bear Lake Railroad History Nathan Greene Fourth grade, Matoska International

White Bear Lake history changed forever because of one great improvement. You will learn about the history of a quick source of transportation that made traveling to and from White Bear Lake a lot easier.

Before there was a train it would take someone 180 minutes on horseback or in a buggy to get from Saint Paul to White Bear. However there was a solution for faster traveling, by using a new railroad. Once the L.S.M.R. (Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad) had created a railroad from Saint Paul to White Bear the travel time was only 20 minutes!

N. Greene On September 10th, 1868, 500 people were invited to participate in the historical moments of the first ride on the train. There were 10 platform cars and 4 passenger cars. All the passenger cars were reserved for the women. The iron horse started its journey at 9:20 am. Everyone was showing enjoyment for the ride by waving handkerchiefs.

Once they had arrived at White Bear Lake, a cannon fired, signaling their arrival. Most riders gathered around the platform for a speech. A few years later, Jay Cooke the owner of the railroad went bankrupt along with the railroad.

This history is important for White Bear Lake because it made it a lot easier to get in and out of White Bear Lake from Saint Paul.

This helped with shipping products and with transporting people.

We are impacted by this railroad because it helped make it a larger attraction along with growing White Bear and neighboring towns.

Fillebrown House Elaera Knutson Fourth grade, Otter Lake Elementary

Hello my name is Root and I am the tree that is right next to the Fillebrown house (also known as the “Red Chalet”). I remember in 1905 when J. Walter and Harriet Fillebrown first moved in to the beautiful summer cottage located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. I was just a sapling then. The man they bought it from was called George B. Young. They loved and enjoyed the summer cottage and settled in very quickly.

Knutson The seasons went by and it was time to get ready for winter and boy they did! They insulated the house until there was no cold air at all! Years went by and the house got passed down to J. Walter’s children. For J. Walter and Harriet Fillebrown were getting older and unable to take care of the house.

The children lived in the house and they had great memories of their house. But as happy and joyful as they seemed they had no children of their own to receive the house.

They later made a good choice to donate the summer cottage to the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. It became a symbol of the area’s past and community gathering place for future generations. The Fillebrown house is one of the oldest structures in White Bear Lake. I guess that means I’m one of the oldest trees in White Bear Lake. Wow am I old!

Recently the house became old and unstable but from some help from different building companies they are currently improving the Fillebrown House. The Fillebrown house will be very nice and new when they open it up. The White Bear Area Historical Society is still fundraising for improving the house.

In spring 2015 the Fillebrown House will be opened and there will be tours there. They also have community gatherings there. I hope you get the chance to visit the Fillebrown House!

But if you do watch out legend has it that there is a ghost haunting the Fillebrown House, scary!

Goodbye! It was fun teaching you about the Fillebrown House, hope you learned something new. That was the story of the Fillebrown House and the tree that grew right next to it.

A Mouse’s Life In The Gazebo Adler Siebenaler Fourth grade, Otter Lake Elementary

Thump thump! Oh no the first visitor of the day. That means time to get up. Hello, I’m a mouse that lives in the floor of the Erd-Geist gazebo.

It all began when the gazebo was built in 1883 by Thomas Erd. I saw him smash his hand with his hammer once, it hurt him so much he screamed. He made it for his daughter Annie and her husband Emil Geist. Erd made many grand structures. The gazebo was made on the south shore on White Bear Lake. Siebenaler

In the early 1900’s the first floor was closed to provide more privacy to create a honeymoon cottage for the Geist family. I was sneaky once and I got in and saw the pretty lake.

By the 1970’s, the gazebo was in trouble and the property had changed hands. It was so bad the White Bear Woman's Club had permission to move the gazebo to a different location. Negotiations were made to move the gazebo to Matoska Park near the Manitou Island bridge. Later on, the gazebo was moved across the frozen lake in 1974. That move was very bad for me because I had to leave my family. When the gazebo was ready in February, the ice was too thin to move across safely. The club made a last minute decision to have the gazebo trucked to Lake Avenue. The ride was very bumpy. The landmark was reconstructed and restored on its new site. One of the workers saw me and chased me around with a hammer. The gazebo has undergone a second restoration completed in 2000.

Now you know some history about the White Bear Lake Gazebo. If you ever go to the gazebo look for me in my hole.

History of Leip Resort Dessah Thao Fourth grade, Otter Lake Elementary

“Look! I see the lake! We’re almost there!”

This is how many people felt when they came to see their summer resort in White Bear Lake.

The Liep Resort to be exact.

I am a mouse named Mimi. I remember when the White Bear resort era was going on.

It was so much fun. I can tell you all about it.

It all started in 1865 when Col. William Leip bought White Bear’s first resort. I enjoyed running around all the 125 rooms.

Thao Anyways, there was a ton of things to do. I saw people fish at lake and row out their rowboats. The fish that they had brought in made big cat problems. There was also a bowling alley. I almost got caught by the ball! And there was an orchestra! I just loved the sound of the flute.

In 1896, my home (the Hotel), was totally burned down. I was so scared. Our family made it to the nearest tree. But, by 1898 Mr. and Mrs. Leip rebuilt the hotel at Lakewood Park, but it was not as big. Soon, it got sold to the St. Paul Automobile Club. Now, it’s a shopping center on Highway 61.

So next time you go to White Bear, think about the Leip Resort. As to me, now I live where a regular mouse would live; in the ground.

The History of White Bear Town Hall Mallory Theissen Fourth grade, Otter Lake Elementary

Hello my name is Phillis and I am an old lady that has watched from the sky above the White Bear Town Hall for many, many years.

I am here to tell you all about the Town Hall.

Haven't you ever said to yourself “Wow! I wonder what the story is with the old town hall?” Well probably not, but still if you ever did think that, then you won’t be thinking that anymore because I have all of the info right here.

Theiseen In the year of 1885 people that lived in White Bear Township met in an old town hall. They stopped meeting there in 2011. The town hall was designed by Cass Gilbert so the town could discuss important things going on around in the town.

During that long stretch of time the town hall was moved a lot!

Since the township made a decision to allow another move, improvements were held off. This caused the town hall to fall into poor conditions pushing township meetings to be located somewhere else. It also put the historic building in danger of being destroyed.

This is why Sara Markoe Hanson, executive director of White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, stepped in and said that the building has been “an important way in which the multiple communities that comprise the township have remained connected.”

For now the thought to destroy the building has been held off while the Historical Society sees if the building can be placed on the national register.

The town hall is very old, but it still stands and is a very important figure in our town’s history. I hoped you learned a lot about the history of White Bear Township’s Town Hall.

Matoska Park Gazebo Jenna Valleen Fourth grade, Otter Lake Elementary

Hi, my name is Julie Star and I shall be telling you about The Matoska Par… Really I am flying, oww! Bang! I hate my life as a frisbee.

But anyway, the Matoska Park Gazebo was built in 1883. The Gazebo was originally in Erd-Geist’s backyard. It is now in a park because the structure was in disrepair. Now the Gazebo is in the White Bear Lake Women’s Club hands. The club made an effort to restore the landmark, so they moved the location of Vallen the Gazebo to Matoska Park. The club moved it in 1974, and the Gazebo was completely restored in 2000. The structure was ready to move to Matoska Park in February 1974.

The Gazebo was going to be moved across White Bear Lake when it was frozen but they could not do that because the ice was too thin and the gazebo could fall in. That would not be good. So the gazebo had to get moved to Matoska Park by a flatbed trailer.

The site has proved to be a wonderful public gathering place.

One of the ways the Gazebo was used for was weddings, but photographers liked the area also. It was originally meant for honeymoons and weddings after it was moved but then it became a popular gazebo in White Bear Lake. The Park has a dock for boats and it also has a good path for walking dogs and/or any other animal.

It is cool how the gazebo was in someone’s backyard for 87 years but then it got moved to Matoska Park just because the gazebo was falling apart. Thank you for listening to the history of the White Bear Lake Matoska Park Gazebo!

Teen accused of coercing girls into sex acts A White Bear Lake Area High school student reportedly coerced a 12-year-old girl and a 13-year-old girl into performing sexual acts.

Alexander Patrick Lindeke, 18, was charged June 1 with first-degree and third-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Lindeke reportedly met the Lindeke 12-year-old girl on a website called hotornot.com, where he requested she send him a sexually explicit video.

Around May 25, the girl, accompanied by her 13-year-old friend, met Lindeke at Cummings Park

in Arden Hills, according to the complaint. Lindeke reportedly threatened to publish the explicit video unless both girls performed oral sex on him in his vehicle.

The 13-year-old girl positively identified Lindeke in a six-person photo lineup.

Lindeke was arrested on May 29 at the White Bear Lake Area High School-South Campus. The vehicle he had driven to school that day matched both the victims' descriptions of the vehicle.

Lindeke pleaded not guilty. His next court appearance is scheduled for July 8.

The North Branch Police Department recently investigated Lindeke in another incident involving

a minor female he reportedly met on the same hotornot website. Lindeke reportedly Skyped with the female and coerced her into exposing her breasts.

Lindeke reportedly threatened to post the revealing photo online unless the girl sent him a topless photo of her 8-year-old sibling.

Lindeke transferred to South Campus last fall from a private school in St. Paul, according to a District 624 spokesperson. Lindeke enlisted in the Minnesota National Guard last December and was scheduled to attend basic training in August, according to his Facebook page.

Dario and Giselle Meja have been dancing together since they were tykes.

by Michelle Miron Lowdown Editor STILLWATER — Their dance troupe earned national recognition in 2011 as one of four national finalists on the NBC talent competition show “America's Got Talent.”

Since then, siblings Dario and Giselle Mejia have performed in New York as part of the off-Broadway show “iLuminate” based on that dance routine, an innovative piece featuring head-totoe costumes with wireless lighting systems choreographed to movement.

On July 1 the Mahtomedi High grads (ages 33 and 31) and Dario's wife Caitlin open the new dance school Curio Dance in Stillwater's Valley Ridge Mall, offering a variety of dance instruction for youth and adults.

The 1,800-square-foot facility supplements existing ballet studios in the area by also offering jazz, modern, tap, experimental, ballroom, and Latin social dance and yoga. The school will “encourage performance rather than promote competition” at venues including local schools and churches; seeks to coordinate programming with Stillwater Community Education; and is partnering with local program Music Together in the Valley for baby and toddler classes.

The hope is that it will also act as a feeder program for the 40-member, nonprofit professional dance troupe of the same name founded by the Mejias. The metro-area group performs next June 19-21 at Minneapolis' Cowles Center.

Giselle still lives in Mahtomedi. The siblings grew up studying dance at Maplewood's Larkin Studio and performing locally; their father is a prominent Latin dancer who hails from Ecuador, and Dario was born there.

After high school he earned a full scholarship to The Juilliard School and Giselle graduated from State University of New York Purchase College. After college Dario danced with the Mark Morris Dance Group in New York and Minnesota Dance Theater; both belonged to Luna Negra Dance Theater in Chicago. Giselle studied and taught in multiple locations including Ecuador and Spain. They've also taught and/or performed at metro venues including the Guthrie Theatre, Intermedia Arts and MSU-Mankato.

In 2009 they founded the

Curio Dance troupe, a vehicle for talented local dancers to seek funding as a nonprofit and secure regional performances. Right now it's financed primarily through the St. Paul-based GiveMN. org. The name stems from the curiosity dancers feel while exploring the dance process, Dario explained.

“You get past the fear and anxiety, and you're capable of accomplishing amazing things with your body. Then you continue with that curiosity and dive into this huge pool of new dance moves.”

Members of the troupe snagged the “America's Got Talent” audition after a show scout saw them perform in lit costume at the Guthrie Theater in 2010 (a friend of Dario's developed the technology).

While the act didn't win the $1 million show prize, the Mejias went on to cocreate and perform for 18 months in an off-Broadway and touring show based on its premise. The show has since changed its name and cast and is touring overseas.

“We're really the creator of all those illusions,” Dario said of the show's special effects, which give the appearance dancers are split in half. “Giselle and I have experimental minds that bend past imagination to see what we can possibly create.”

While both siblings have taken breaks in the past couple years to teach at places like Minnesota Dance Theatre and Lundstrum Center for the Performing Arts, they've since left the eightperformance-a-week “iLuminate” to move forward with their careers. Both seek a less stressful lifestyle.

Dario and Caitlin now have a 6-month-old daughter, Cosette, while Giselle has a 6-year-old son named Theodore.

“I like seeing the same [students] come into a room and being able to see them grow, and being able to perform with the same people,” Dario said. “So many in L.A. and New York are chasing that glorious, wonderful audience that's really cheering for them and blowing them away, then they go home to very little. Fame is very temporary. I really feel like we're in a better place.”

In addition to the June 19-21 “Drop the Mic” performances, Curio will plans to perform at certain Summer Tuesday events in Stillwater this season. It will also be a part of Stillwater Log Jam; performances are planned at Teddy Bear Park at noon

Friday, July 17.

“That will be more of a fun, jazzy, hip hop, upbeat kind of dance, and Latin social dancing that's always easy and anyone can join in,” he noted.

Also being offered, he said, are Curio performances meant to liven up the guests at weddings, bar mitzvahs and other celebrations.

“We call it 'Hora Loca,' or 'crazy hour' in Spanish,” he explained. “We come in as a parade of dancers, like at Carnival, and get everyone up and dancing to the salsa and merengue.”

When he isn't working, Dario likes to camp, hike and “celebrate the outdoors”; he said he's environmentally conscious and into reducing consumption.

His five-year plan involves funding his troupe to the point full-time members can be paid regular wages and perform across the Midwest.

He's brainstorming new dance themes; one idea is a show based on the music of Bob Dylan.

As for the new studio, he's hoping to create “a good communal space for people to interact with the form of dance to lead them in a positive direction.”

He pointed to a recent review of his troupe in the Minneapolis Star Tribune that said it “celebrates joyful moves of the world.”

“That's really what I try to create with our mission,” he added. “It's that blending of traditional, classic and urban dance style, the ability to bring about joy. It's really all about having fun, in the end.”

Business Briefs Celebrity bartender coming to liquor lounge A cocktail craftsman familiar to the Twin Cities bartending scene is joining Terry Kellerman's new liquor lounge venture.

Providence is perhaps what brought Johnny Michaels and Kellerman together. Michaels was the Minneapolis mixologist for the upscale LaBella Vie for nine years and created drink menus for restau– Photo by Debra Neutkens rants like Icehouse, Union and Masu.

Terry Kellerman stands "It was really weird," by a large 1881 gear he Kellerman said. "I was acquired from Bauer talking to an upholstery customer (Kellerman and Bros. Salvage. his wife Anne own AC Upholstery on Fourth Street) and I told her, I'd really like to get someone like Johnny Michaels to run the bar.' She said, 'I know him. I'll have him call you.' Two hours later, he did, we met and he really liked what we were doing."

Michaels has opened a lot of bars, according to Kellerman, and is known for his signature cocktails.

He even wrote a book called "Northstar Cocktails." Ironically, it was the drink guru's book that inspired Kellerman to open The Alchemist.

The small bar will feature a steam punk motif much like his upstairs event center, Kellerman said. The second-floor venue and its potential to serve "big batches of cocktails" were also attractive to Michaels, he added.

Kellerman's creative talents are just starting to emerge in the bar's interior. He sn agged an 1881 gear from Pillsbury's first flour mill as a decorative piece and is using other unique pieces of machinery to design seating areas, limited to 35 patrons per city code. The small converted space at 2222 Fourth St. does offer standing room, however, and the bar owner plans to use every inch.

The Alchemist is expected to open in early July.

Alan Fackler and his mother Carol opened BeKind Salon on County Road E.

New salon very, very green BeKind Salon in White Bear Lake recycles pretty much everything, including hair and the chemicals used to color it.

The mother-son operation describes itself as an organic, responsible business that recycles all salon waste.

Human hair, for example, is utilized by a Canadian company for both pillow stuffing and mesh nets that absorb oil spills.

Chemicals from hair dye and perms are reused to make energy in third-world countries. As little as possible goes down the drain. There are no outside trash receptacles.

Even the name is meant to send a message.

"We want people to be kind to the environment, each other, themselves and the neighborhood," said Alan Fackler, a 2007 White Bear Lake Area High School grad and Aveda Institute alum.

Fackler and his mother Carol, who preferred to be an employee rather than co-owner, both did hair at Indulge downtown before opening their own salon June 1.

"It was always my dream to open my own place," Fackler said. "And we are one of a kind. We do hope other salons follow our lead. There is so much waste in this business. You can't believe how much aluminum foil is used in a couple days of doing hair."

What led him down the stewardship path, Fackler noted, was that after time, he developed bad reactions to hair spray and other chemicals. "I developed a horrible rash on my hands. The doctor recommended I use different products."

Those they offer range from organic, natural and responsible, which might include ingredients made in a lab that are noncarcinogenic. Products cannot be tested on animals.

The salon also has a charging station outside for people like Fackler who drive electric cars. Even the interior walls and furnishings are repurposed. Designed after a New York boutique, walls use recycled wood from Canada and ergonomic stations for the five stylists. Spa services are also offered.

They picked the County Road E and Bellaire Avenue location for its parking, availability and great neighbors, Fackler said. They are platinum-certifi ed by the Green Business Bureau. "We want to help this side of town and make it awesome," he noted. "We're the newest thing in town and we've spent a lot of time and money to make it perfect."

Online tire shopping Goodyear Tire Company is offering a unique new online program for its customers. Consumers can now log onto Goodyear.com, purchase their tires and schedule installation at a local Goodyear retailer, including the one in White Bear Lake.

The e-commerce program offers recommendations for each vehicle, as well as pricing. Transactions are completed online.
