Opinion Town hall survives ABOUT THE TOWN
HISTORY WILL BE preserved because the White Bear Township GENE JOHNSON Board of Supervisors made the decision on July 6 to continue plans for moving and restoring the old town hall to Polar Lakes Park in the township. There are a lot of details to be ironed out, but according to the Township Clerk, Bill Short, this could be accomplished without going to the taxpayers for funds. In 2008 Minnesotans passed a constitutional amendment establishing the Legacy Fund which inpart provides grants to communities for preservation of their history. This project may qualify. White Bear Township has a unique and rich history. The state and the township were first established in 1858 on the same day. Townships role of governing has been changing in Minnesota as cities become larger and the various governments merge together for efficiencies. However, White Bear Township has long been established as its own entity. Of course, they contract some services like fire protection and ambulance service with the city of White Bear Lake and the county in the case of policing. Township history needs to be preserved and shared with our young people growing up in and around the township. This was home to the Dakota and the Ojibway Indians for many years. From my recollection, there were four different railroads that passed through the township. Many of us remember the Northern Pacific and Soo Line. Stories have it that a still located at Otter Lake produced 200 gallons of whiskey a day. Jerry Spies made a name for himself in the township by building and sailing the 10 foot Yankee Girl alone across the Atlantic Ocean. Tom Weinhagen’s White Bear Water Ski Company produced skis for many years. The Bald Eagle Water Club was founded in 1953 promoting water safety and evolved into water skiing competition. Today two clubs continue. One is Midwest Ski Otters performing water ski shows Sunday evenings on Little Goose Lake. The other is Bald Eagle Waterski Shows with performances Thursday nights on Centerville Lake. At Polar Lakes Park, there are options like a solar energy field installation to serve the heat and lights year around for this museum building. The building would also need to have a basement for storage of the artifacts, space for exchanging displays and for exhibits which are being prepared for restoration. A climate-controlled room would be important for documents, pictures and books. The White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, under the leadership of Sara Markoe Hanson, is partnering with the township to manage the exhibits and building use. White Bear Lake has the Fillebrown House for its historic preservation of the 136-year-old lake cottage, but to date there is limited storage space for collection of artifacts of the city or township. One addition is the new Boatworks Commons community room where highlights of the local sailing industry are displayed. I take my hat off to White Bear Township and its current leadership of Bob Kermes, Ed Prudhon and Steve Ruzek for their vision and support in preserving and conserving history as well as providing an education of those who follow about their roots. — Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Careful planning I love Lino Lakes. When I moved to Lino Lakes 40 years ago, I was a freshman at Centennial High School, 4,500 residents lived here and the city was only 20-yearsold. A lot of people don’t know this but at one time all of Lino Lakes was part of Centerville Township. Lino Lakes did not exist and Centerville was 36 square miles. A few things triggered the change. Circle Pines began annexing (taking) land away from Centerville Township, people wanted paved roads instead of gravel roads to stop the dust from blowing into their homes and there were land rights issues as well. There was much argument over how to resolve the issues and as a result, in 1955, the township of Lino Lakes was formed. The new township of Lino Lakes was made up of 33.2 square miles and Centerville ended up being 2.4 square miles. In 1972, the State Legislature deemed all villages to become cities making Lino Lakes Township, the City of Lino Lakes or as I like to call it
MOVERS AND SHAKERS
JEFF REINERT “The Great City of Lino Lakes.” Lino Lakes was able to move forward and just keeps getting better. This is due to years of careful planning. I like to refer to the kind of planning we do as “Rural by Design.” Years ago we had two factions in the city, the “build everything everywhere” crowd and the “build nothing anywhere” crowd. This never made sense to me. Since Lino Lakes is a third ring suburb of the Twin Cities, anyone with common sense could see that the city would eventually develop. The best thing to do was to stop fighting and start carefully planning for the future.
One method to keep a “Rural by Design” feel is to keep housing density low. Most people know that my voice for lower density housing has been heard for 16 years now on the city council and it’s made a difference. Lino Lakes is all about families, big back yards and open spaces. Even though the Met Council’s “social engineering” continues to impose higher densities on our city, we try to stay creative. A recent example is the North Point development. It looks like a typical low density single family development but the entire area is actually zoned medium density where up to 6 units per acre (likely townhomes) could develop. By placing a retirement community on the corner of the development, we satisfied the density requirements, were able to build single family homes and planned for a retirement facility. Working with developers to see our vision pays off. Careful planning continues to keep us on the right path. Taxes are lower than when I took office as Mayor 6 years ago, fund
reserves have increased by 3 million, we digitized city hall and it has never run more efficiently, roads are finally being repaired again, we added 8 new restaurants and the best micro-brew around, the 49 Club will be removed this fall to make room for something new, our award winning department of public safety will now add a much improved forward thinking fire service model, we have implemented a 10,000 tree planting initiative, our award winning recycle program keeps improving, we are becoming a Yellow Ribbon city to assist military families and we are working to create a Lino Lakes Vets War Memorial. These things and more have been done in just the last two years and there is much more to do. I really do love Lino Lakes. I grew up here, I raised my family here and it is truly an honor to be your Mayor. — Jeff Reinert is the Mayor of Lino Lakes.
Backyard composting Composting is the natural breaking down of various organic materials (grass, leaves) into a dirt-like material that is beneficial to plant growth. Compost is dual purpose. It helps sandy soil retain moisture and clay soils drain better. While backyard composting is simple, it is not necessarily easy. It is work, but the end results are worth it. First, select an area for your compost. Most city ordinances require it be 3 to 5 feet inside your property line. Up against your or your neighbor’s wood fence is NOT a good plan. The area should be at least partly sunny and open to rain and air circulation. Commercial bins work fine, but are not necessary. A 4 to 5 foot diameter circle of fencing will work or a similar-sized square. Smaller than that will not heat up properly, and larger is harder to work. What to put into your compost? In addition to grass and leaves, other organic matter such as small twigs, spent flowers and trimmings, straw, coffee grounds, eggshells, fruit peelings and vegetable scraps, shredded newspaper (black and white print), and very small amounts of wood ash. Most of us no longer bag our grass on a regu-
GARDENER’S GRAPEVINE
JEAN KEUHN lar basis, so in the fall much of what we put into our compost is leaves. Leaves are great, but we need more nitrogenrich items, so when your grass has gotten excessively long and you rake up the excess, toss that in the bin. Layering is the key to a good working compost pile. You can start with 8 to 10 inches of leaves. Then add grass and other organic matter. Water until thoroughly wet, but not soggy, and then add more leaves, etc. Add 1/3 cup of 10-10-10 fertilizer and a shovel full of your garden soil to get your pile off to a good start. Avoid adding too much grass at any one time, as grass clipping compact tightly and limit air circulation, decomposition is restricted, and your pile may smell foul. The pile can be 4 to 5 feet high, watering between layers. Never put any meat, bones, grease, dairy prod-
ucts or pet droppings into your compost. They attract rodents and other animals. Also avoid diseased or insect-infested plants and weeds with seeds as the pile may not heat up enough to destroy the problems. Composing requires air, water and sun, so it is helpful if oxygen is added to the pile by turning it monthly. This is where having a second or even a third bin helps. Shovel the partially decomposed material into the second bin, pulling the cooler outer edges into middle and add moisture if needed. Mixing helps the pile decompose more quickly, heat up more completely and reach higher temps. It will take at least twice as long to decompose if it is not mixed. Water the compost pile periodically to keep it moist but not soggy. Add finished compost to your gardens and enjoy the lovely results.
