Pianist returns for chamber music concert series

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

A rewarding performance in his hometown three years ago left composer/pianist Michael Djupstrom eager for an encore. That day has come, thanks to a grant from the S&R Foundation in Washington, D.C. The foundation, which supports emerging artists in various disciplines, granted Djupstrom's request to found a chamber music series in White Bear Lake.

Sunshine and smiles with Santa Claus Ezra Robichaux visits with Santa Claus outside on a downtown street corner during a recent Winter Fest celebration. Local residents were able to dig out in the bright sunshine and moderate temperatures that followed the first significant snowfall of the season last week. Santa will again be roaming the streets in downtown White Bear Lake during the third and final installment of Winter Fest before Christmas, scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 18.

Willow Lane Elementary’s ‘Minnow Tank’ project meets the sharks of White Bear Lake

BY CORINNE STREMMEL STAFF WRITER

The fourth graders of Willow Lane Elementary School in White Bear Lake are taking the premise of reality show “Shark Tank” and making it bite-sized.

Willow Lane reading teacher Leigh Anderson and her students are preparing to pitch a charity of their choice to five “sharks” in the hope that a $2,000 donation will be awarded to their winning charity.

Anderson decided to start the Minnow Tank project with her fourth graders after getting inspiration from Willow Lane’s partnership with Donatelli’s Italian restaurant in White Bear Lake.

Every year the fifth graders from Willow Lane have an opportunity to gain some real-world experience building resumes, practicing interviews and working side by side with the staff at Donatelli’s restaurant. The tips collected from the night go to Hopekids,

tank CREATED BY CLAIRE BAUER

an organization that works with children and their families who are affected with life-threatening illnesses.

Anderson wanted to provide a similar charitable, leadership-based project with the fourth graders where they could conduct research on a cause they care about under the mentorship of adults from the community. They would then pitch the existing charity to a group of donors, who will serve as the judges, or “sharks.”

Anderson aims to raise a total of $2,000, donated by the community, which will be awarded to the group with the best pitch and donated to the students’ charity of choice.

The Minnow Tank’s pilot began in 2018 and various iterations of the project followed in 2019 and 2020, but 2021 is the first year Anderson has officially had the project down pat with her fourth graders.

The White Bear Lake Elf Hunt is back for its second year. On Dec. 18, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., families are invited to come downtown in search of toy elves, which will be hidden in 30 local businesses.

The rules will be the same as last year.

Participants need to bring a writing utensil and their “North Pole Elf Hunt Passport,” which can be printed off from downtown White Bear Lake’s website (https://www. downtownwhitebearlake. com) or picked up at participating businesses.

On the day of the Elf Hunt, participants will have the entire day to search for the elves and write the names of each elf on their passport.

Santa is even scheduled to make an appearance.

Once the elves are found, participants will turn in their passports to Manitou Grill or Washington Square.

Thirty winners will be selected to win a prize from participating businesses.

The only difference this year is that the first 300 participants to turn in their passport will win an official 2021 Elf Hunt button.

The event was originally designed due to COVID-19 to get folks out into the community around the holidays as local businesses started to open up again.

“We knew some people had cabin fever, and doing something fun like this gave an enormous positive response,” said Danielle Rode, the owner of Upsy Daisy, who serves as events committee chair for downtown White Bear Lake.

Rode hopes the Elf Hunt will become an annual tradition to celebrate the holidays and support local businesses.

Holiday lights contest returns

I

am so excited that we are once again doing our holiday lights contest. Press Publications launched the contest in 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic. Now in 2021, and going into 2022, the pandemic is very much still here and people still need a bit of light in their lives.

I have absolutely loved looking through all of the entries as they have come in during our nomination phase, which ended last week. Each one is unique in its own way and has a story behind it.

Growing up, one of my family’s favorite Christmas traditions was driving to look at a light display near our home. Every year, we would hop in the car, drive to the display, tune in our radio to a specific station and watch on in amazement as the display lit up perfectly animated and timed to the songs we heard on the radio.

This year, my family and I have already participated in lots of Christmas traditions, including putting up decorations, looking Out and at lights, baking sweets, mailing Christmas cards and visiting About Santa.

For the first time this year, I Shannon am also trying out perhaps a new Granholm tradition. Every day of December leading up to Christmas, my dogs get to try out a new treat from their “Merry Corgmas” calendar. Recently my family and I also visited a drive-thru holiday lights show that was a lot of fun Press Publications is now gearing up for the voting period of the Holiday Lights Contest, which will run Dec. 16 through Dec. 31. From now until then, community members are encouraged to hop in the car and travel to the different displays in the north metro to see them in real life, as photos often don’t do the displays justice.

We hope that our holiday lights contest might be a part of your family’s holiday tradition this year. Hopefully this lights contest gives you something to look forward to. Thank you to everyone who entered, and don’t forget to vote.

Over 400 votes were cast for last year’s contest, and we are hoping to break that record this year.

The top three winners will receive prizes and earn bragging rights. Winners will be announced in January.

Holiday tragedy Dec. 18 will mark the sixth anniversary of my father’s passing. Every year that date rolls around, it is an especially hard day for my family and me. I miss everything about him—his jokes, his laugh, his voice, his advice, his songs. Every Christmas that we celebrate without him, I can’t help but feel that void deep in my soul.

Every year when we put our Christmas tree up in the living room, dad always had his own little section of the tree where all of his best dad, sports and coffee ornaments hung as well as his (empty) ostomy bag (one of his many jokes). Perhaps his favorite ornament was a bear that sung a Christmas tune. He would play it over and over again to drive us crazy.

To this day, all of his ornaments are still placed on his spot on the tree. And that ornament that once seemed to annoy us so much, brings us peace. Now that I have my own home, I have carried on the tradition with a spot of our tree just for him.

Although the holiday season is often a joyous one for many, please remember that the holidays are really hard for some, especially in 2021.

I

There is a lot to be thankful for: the lawyers are at work

just finished reading a 16 page “terms of use and privacy policy” by a major Internet company. It was fascinating.

Why did I read this? I’m not sure. Each time you deal with a company like WhattsApp, Facebook, airlines, insurance companies or Bird Food of the Month Club, there is this box to check that says you “read and accept” whatever they say. So I read this document as I thought I was maybe doing the Movers & right thing to make sure I was Shakers understanding Norm Barnhart and agreeing to what I said I was agreeing to.

Even though I did not fully understand it.

One thing I’m thankful for is that these internet companies respect my privacy and are willing to share with me what exactly that they will and will

not share. I am also thankful that they so concisely summed it up - and in only 16 pages.

Another thing to be thankful for is that I don’t have to spend days and months writing terms and use policies for a company that does business on the internet, as it would literally drive me nuts. And unlike, how some people use the word literally, I literally mean literally.

Among the many things for us all to be thankful for is that you or I don’t have to be a lawyer who researches, writes, types, collates and staples these 16 page user agreements.

It is also something to be thankful for that we do not have to be the other lawyers that review what the fi rst batch of lawyers have written to make sure the 16 pages of concise user agreement is indeed accurate, up-to-date, legally binding and yet still allows plenty of room for wiggle room if the company needs to get out of it.

I’m also thankful that I do not live in the future - when I assume that these legally

binding documents that we sign are going to be 20 and 30 pages.

So I’m counting my blessings this year that I don’t live in the future when these documents will be almost unreadable.

Finally, I’m very, very thankful this holiday season for the many blessings that I have such as family, friends, food and shelter.

It’s these basics in life that we only really need. However, it is nice to know that somewhere each weekend there is a lawyer working overtime, pouring over pages and pages of user agreements to make sure every jot and title is in the right place so that we the consumers can rest in our snugly bed knowing that our phones and computers are guarded with the utmost of security, safety and privacy.

For these gifts we are about to receive, we thank you.

Norm Barnhart is the bestselling author, clean comic and motivational speaker for family and corporate events and is not very lawyered up.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Praise for recent story The Press, with its publication in the Dec. 8 issue of the article on Native American burial mounds, underscores for me several truths: 1) The work of the White Bear Historical Society, and the leadership of Sara Markoe Hanson, are underseeing attributes of this community.

2) The diligent preservation of newspapers and community news from defunct and still-published news sources, has allowed this article to be fully documented.

3) By printing this article, Press Publications widens its influence on its readers. Event news and local activities and pictures allow us to meet residents’ interests while widening their perceptions about what a community newspaper is, what it does and what it can be.

4) Racism, using historical information, can be documented and made into tools to address racism today.

A fine article. Thank you!

Sandy Waterman Vadnais Heights

Council member doesn't decide for students Greg Urban’s report at the end of the Vadnais Heights City Council meeting on Dec. 7 was irresponsible and ridiculous. For those who missed it, Urban called for a city ordinance prohibiting any mask requirements within the city limits of Vadnais Heights. When the city attorney mentioned that this would include health care facilities (including surgical centers and The

Urgency Room), Urban still wanted to look into it. He mentions how terrible he feels for children wearing masks in school and that many people on social media are upset.

Let’s break this down a bit.

Urban is not parenting in a pandemic and has no place to speak on behalf of what he thinks is best for kids or parents when it comes to safety in schools. He doesn’t know the stress of wanting our kids to be happy and also wanting them to be safe.

As for the masks, I have four children in school and wearing a mask hasn’t been a problem for them. Do they love it? Probably not, but they do it and they don’t complain.

They seem to understand the risks better than some of our council members.

This whole thing is classic Greg Urban. A careless idea meant to manufacture fake outrage and make himself look like a hero. What’s even more baffling is that he doesn’t seem to understand his own job. He doesn’t have this kind of jurisdiction over schools. Frankly, he is unfit for leadership. The good news for Vadnais Heights is that he is up for reelection in 2022 and we all have a chance to vote him and his like-minded council members out of office.

Heather Gustafson Vadnais Heights

Letter showed new angle of argument Mr. Vincent’s letter to the editor in the Dec. 8 edition of the White Bear Press is perhaps the most revealing of all the anti-bus letters.

As I followed the news stories and the community’s response, it seemed the anti-bus folks oscillated

between arguing that too many people coming in would change the character of our community and arguing the bus line would not have enough ridership (or, wink-wink, serving as a rallying point for an off-year election — congrats, Mayorelect Louismet and Council Member-elect Hughes). There didn’t seem to be a coherent theme until Mr. Vincent’s letter.

Mr. Vincent’s candid letter presents a new angle by generalizing the potential of unspecified “crime” on a bus trip in Minneapolis/ St. Paul to all bus rides, and suggesting that only poor folks benefit from mass transit. I think Ms. Reinhardt’s article did well to appeal to reason and justify the process of the development of the Purple Line, and I trust that process to continue to address concerns about ridership and traffic congestion.

So instead of reiterating those justifications, I’m calling out a dog whistle.

Robert Anderson White Bear Lake

Response to Purple Line editorial Dear Commissioner Reinhardt: I read your editorial about the Purple Line in the Vadnais Heights Press. You made some excellent points. However, in your praise of the benefits of mass transit, you never mentioned your personal experience using it. Have you used Metro Transit recently? Or ever? You state: “Research shows that the presence of a transit station does not increase crime."

What research are you referring to? FYI: Buses do

not "bring crime." Buses transport people, and some of those people commit crimes on the bus and at transit stations.

Your article, which minimizes the impact of crime in mass transit, is contrary to my personal experience. I have used the A-Line, the Green Line, the Blue Line, and bus service along Rice Street to access work, shopping, sporting events, car shows, the State Capitol and the State Fair.

This is my experience with existing mass transit: • All the transit stations and platforms along the various routes are filthy.

• The light rail trains and buses on certain routes are uncomfortable and filthy with trash and human body fluids.

• The transit station heat lamps, lighting and elevators are often non-functional due to recurring vandalism.

• Men openly urinate, thereby exposing themselves on the light rail platforms and at bus stops.

• Would-be thieves demand money and otherwise harass customers waiting for the next train or bus.

• Theft, assault and other crimes are so rampant around the transit stations that nearby businesses in downtown St. Paul relocated to the suburbs.

In short, criminals congregate at transit stations, and crime is rampant in much of the mass transit system. Cleanliness and safety is a major concern when riding the Metro transit system. How will Purple Line transit stations be any different?

There was and will continue to be a shortage of workers. How will the Purple Line be staffed with drivers?

How will Ramsey County afford the ongoing maintenance for the Purple Line when it is unable to clean and maintain existing trains, buses and transit stations?

I repeat: Have you used Metro Transit recently? Or ever?

Give to help the war on Cancer In 1971 the war on cancer was started. Some thought in 10 years the cancer war would be over, they were wrong. Since the early 1970’s the death rate from cancer is down more than 25%. Between 1975 and 2016, the 5 year survival rate is up by 36%. The number of anticancer drug therapies has expanded more than tenfold, helping with survival rates.

Screening early for cancer has improved some survival rates to as high as 99%.

Cancer remains the #1 killer of Hispanic and Asian Americans. The lifetime risk for men is 1 in 2, for women it is 1 in 3. Most of us know somebody affected by cancer.

The risk for cancer is possible at all ages, but primarily is a disease of aging that is more complicated than ever.

White Bear Lake woman convicted of possession of methamphetamine Nicole Marie Williams, 39, of White Bear Lake has been convicted of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree. According to the criminal complaint, on April 8, 2019, a Minnesota State Patrol officer conducted a random plate check on a dark grey Pontiac Vibe and discovered the vehicle was stolen. The vehicle was stopped on northbound I-494 near the city of Oakdale. Both the male driver and female passenger, who was later identified as Willams, were taken into custody.

The officer conducted a search of

the stolen vehicle, which appeared to be painted a dark grey instead of the vehicle’s listed red. The correct ignition keys were found inside the vehicle. The officers searched a purse and makeup bag located where Williams had been sitting and found several hypodermic needles, one used and unused glass pipe, and two small white bags containing a white crystal substance consistent with that of methamphetamine. Williams admitted the purse and makeup bag belonged to her. She was sentenced to five years in prison and $10,000 for a first controlled substance conviction.

PIANIST RETURNS: White Bear native to perform encore series at Lakeshore Players FROM PAGE 1A

The musician had talked of such a collaboration with Jim Berry, Lakeshore Players Theatre director of concert programming, following the success of the 2018 concert. Berry helps book concerts at the arts center.

“I’ve long been passionate about performing and composing chamber music, so I was excited to explore the idea of developing a classical chamber music program in White Bear Lake, something that has never before existed, to the best of my knowledge,” Djupstrom said by telephone from his Philadelphia home.

The audience’s receptivity after that earlier concert especially impressed Djupstrom, who played his own compositions as part of the program.

“I realized from speaking with people afterwards that the majority had approached each piece with an open mind, having few preconceptions or prejudices regarding the different styles

Note that masks and proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test are required for indoor events at Lakeshore Players Theatre. of music we presented,” he recalled. “It was so refreshing. Our programming had honestly been pretty unusual for a classical concert. Encouraged by that reaction, I decided White Bear Lake would be an ideal place to program new and unfamiliar pieces, as well as more established works.”

One of the most original aspects of the new series will be its highlighting of Romanian music, Djupstrom said.

“Despite having a strong compositional tradition, almost no Romanian classical music is known outside of the country, and sheet music and recordings are very difficult to obtain even today,” he explained, adding that his interest in the

country and its music runs deep.

Djupstrom has visited Romania five times since 2015 searching for compositions in the libraries and secondhand stores of Bucharest. He is even working to master the language to better communicate in that quest. “I decided I could open more doors if I spoke the language,” he said.

Djupstrom is especially fascinated — bordering on obsession, he admitted — with the late Romanian composer George Enescu. The first and last piece in next week’s concert are works by the composer, a child prodigy regarded as one of Romania’s greatest musicians.

The program for the first concert series includes the following: George Enescu: Ballade Dumitru Bughici: Suite in Romanian Style, op. 1 Gra yna Bacewicz: Witra (Stained Glass Window) Josef Suk: Four Pieces for Violin and Piano, op. 17 Michael Djupstrom: L utar (Fiddler) George Enescu: Violin Sonata no. 3, op.

25, “in Romanian folk style” The timing works well for Djupstrom, a ’98 White Bear Lake grad, who plans to stay in town to spend the holidays with his parents, Bob and Ann Djupstrom. He’ll be back for the second concert in the series planned for February 2022. The the pianist will be accompanied by flutist Xuan Li and saxophonist Jonathan Wintringham.

MINNOW TANKS: 4th graders learn leadership while raising funds for charities FROM PAGE 1A

Willow Lane Elementary is particularly unique because of its diverse student population. According to Anderson, 70% of students at Willow Lane are students of color.

Anderson wanted to give these students a chance to feel empowered while looking for an opportunity to close the achievement gap that students of color face.

“We want to empower kids, not enable them. And if we’re truly going to break that cycle, we need to show them that their presence in the world matters,” says Anderson.

Anderson hopes to instill the idea that her students could make a difference in their community, so she began to show her students examples of kids just like them who have chosen to donate to charities in their own community.

“I soon found that when we started the project, the kids didn’t understand what charities were. I took that as a sign to practice our research skills.”

The fourth graders were assigned to go home to their families and have a discussion about their personal values. When the students reported back the next day, several themes began to emerge.

The students valued causes like animals, veterans, childhood diseases, cancer, climate change, eliminating hunger, and keeping the ocean clean.

From there, Anderson matched the kids with charities that fit their interests.

This year, the fourth graders selected 11 charities: White Bear Lake Food Shelf, Environmental Protection Agency, Hopekids, Ocean Conservancy, The Jane Goodall Institute, Masonic Cancer Center of Minnesota, White Bear Lake Humane Society, Muscular Dystrophy, Wounded Warriors, Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue, and Pacer, a children’s mental health resource.

After the fourth graders selected their charities, they were paired with coaches provided by the White Bear Rotary to guide the students in their research and help them with their final presentations.

Jackie Reis of the White Bear Lake Rotary, a service organization, became connected with the Minnow Tank project after the club made a goal to recommit to its diversity, equity and inclusion goals following the murder of George Floyd in June 2020.

Rotary set a goal to understand how systemic racism affects the White Bear community. Given given the percentage of students of color at Willow Lane, Rotary members wanted to reach out and see how they could break some of the cycles that affect students of color by mentoring students through the Minnow Tank project.

“It’s got to be so mutually beneficial, because the students and adults are both learning from each other,” said Reis. “The students can see the adults care about them, and the adults see what today’s young people are like.”

The coaches began working with students Nov. 29, and will see their assigned group a total of six times for half an hour each Monday and Tuesday until Dec. 14. The students will present to the sharks on Dec. 20.

But the Minnow Tank project doesn’t end there.

Anderson’s vision is to have members of Rotary continue to mentor the students of Willow Lane over the span of three years.

Rotary coaches will be paired up with a group of third graders and stay with that group until fifth grade, mentoring them along the way as the kids learn more about charities and acts of service.

“I think, hopefully, we’ll watch them mature as they learn more about giving back and gratitude and service. The Rotary is all about service,” said Reis.

And while the fourth graders work toward that goal of gratitude and service, they’ll get a chance to face off with the sharks of White Bear Lake for the coveted $2,000 donation.

OBITUARIES

Daniel W. “Dan” Crowley

Richard M. Parenteau

Passed away peacefully Dec. 4, 2021 at age 87. He met new acquaintances with a charm that was never forced, trying to talk the language of that person after asking the question, “Where are you from?” He would toss out a joke to strike up some laughter.

Good health, activity, music and study created happiness and were imperative. The amalgamation of all this made him whole. He enjoyed handball in the 1960s at the Midway YMCA , loved basketball and softball, which he played most of his life. He loved to run, ran in the St. Patrick’s Day race for 20 years and caused others to run with enthusiasm. This was a yearly event that ignited passion for family running, lasting for two generations. Golf was a lifelong passion. Was a golf coach at Mariner High School in White Bear Lake where he taught German and some literature as well.

A member of Indian Hills for 30 years. His portfolio holds seven “hole-in-ones” and was ranked senior club champion at Keller Golf Course a couple of times. Born in Edina, Minnesota, the family moved to St. Paul where he graduated from Cretin High School and St. Thomas College. Served in the US Army in Germany. Was enamored by the culture there, its people, and was caught up in its beauty. It was there that he struck up conversations in pubs and became a fledgling with their language. After receiving his masters at St. Thomas he began a career as German teacher in White Bear Lake. He loved literature and poetry, music and singing, playing guitar and piano.

Learned many folk songs from his mother’s native land of Ireland. In later years he was a baritone, singing with the Silver Harmony Singers and the Giving Voice Chorus. He continued to play piano all of his life. Many friendships were maintained with the people he knew in Germany, visiting there often throughout his lifetime. He and his wife both retired from teaching to attend Northwestern College of Chiropractic and opened their own office in North St. Paul together. He leaves behind the love of his life and a “hat trick” of three children and eight grandchildren; one grandchild and one great grandchild deceased. A celebration of life will be held later.

Memorials are preferred to Giving Voice Initiative.

Richard M. Parenteau of White Bear Lake passed away Dec. 7, 2021 at age 87 after long battle with dementia.

Proud life-time resident and business owner in White Bear Lake.

Preceded in death by his wife Serena “Sally”.

Survived by daughter Jeanne (Joel) Klemp of Eden Prairie, daughter Cheri (Jim) Feil of Nisswa, son Jeff (Jennifer) Parenteau of White Bear Lake; 6 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren; 13 nieces and 3 nephews.

Mass of Christian Burial 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2021 at St. Mary Of The Lake Catholic Church, 4741 Bald Eagle Avenue, White Bear Lake, visitation Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2021, 5-7 p.m. at Honsa Family Funeral Home, 2460 East County Road E, WBL. Interment St. Mary's Cemetery, White Bear Lake. In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to the Alzheimers Association.

William (Bill) Olson, Sr. Age, 88 of Vadnais Heights Beloved husband, father, and grandfather passed away surrounded by his family on Nov. 25, 2021.

Preceded in death by parents Harold Sr. & Elvira, siblings: Wallace, Rich, Phyllis Starkey, Mary Lou Ahlstrom, Harold, Jim, and Gary.

Survived by his wife Jean, of 64 years, and children: Cheryl Sievert, Sandra Morrissette (Jim), Barbara Regal (John), William (Bill) Jr. (Mary), Michael (Alice), and Laura Oren (Dave) and 19 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.

Bill joined the US Navy at 17 and served for 4 years.

Shortly after returning home, he met and married the love of his life in 1957. After attending tool and die school, he found employment learning the trade. In 1968, he decided to venture out on his own, starting his own business, State Tool Inc. He was proud to have successfully run State Tool for over 50 years.

If you knew Bill, you knew his zest for life. His one-liners are fondly repeated among his family and friends. He traveled the world with his family by his side. He spent his evenings either driving around in his red Corvette with Jean by his side or at the kitchen table playing games with his family.

There are a special few that knew him not as Bill, but as Pops. His grandchildren were gifted with the side of this man that could make you feel special, even among a sea of 19 grandchildren. Whether it be the countless hours he spent at hockey games, dance recitals, graduations, etc. or the special treats he had in never-ending supply – he was the invincible man they each treasured beyond words.

It has been said that Bill, or Pops, was a legend who created a legacy. His absence here will be deeply felt.

Yet it is his joy for life, his dedication to what mattered, his hard-working focus, his life-changing faith, and his unconditional love that will live on in the people who were blessed to know him.

A funeral mass will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, December 18, 2021 at St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church, 4741 Bald Eagle Blvd., with a visitation an hour prior. Interment to follow at St. Mary of the Lake Cemetery.

Ray and Vi Johnson; and son, Eric Johnson.

She worked as a nurse in various medical offices throughout the St. Paul, Minnesota area for over four decades. She was well loved by those she worked with and by her patients. She was known for her extraordinary kindness.

As a mother, grandmother, sister and friend, she was extraordinary as well. She was everyone’s best friend, confidant, and she always put others before herself. Her humility and love shined in everything she did. She lived her Catholic faith well in how she loved and cared for others.

She had the most incredible and beautiful soul. She loved people deeply. Three words describe her life: love, care and nurture.

OBITUARIES

Lorraine M. Peltier

Ruby A. Gustaf

We are deeply saddened to announce the death of our beloved mother, Lorraine Mary Peltier. Lorraine was born Sept. 22, 1924, and died Nov. 28, 2021, at the age of 97. She was the first-born child of Joseph and Cecilia (Keiffer) Tessier.

She grew up in a large family on a beautiful farm high on a hill, surrounded by an apple grove, pond, large vegetable gardens and livestock in Gem Lake, on what is now called Tessier Road. As a young girl, she learned to ride on large plow horses and gained the necessary skills to help run a working farm, including daily weeding of the gardens, canning and preserving food, and enjoying a cold glass of home-brewed root beer. Produce was sold at Hoffman’s Corner and the Saint Paul Farmer’s Market, carried in by wagon.

At a young age, Lorraine met the love of her life, Archie Peltier, from Centerville, Minnesota. They married before Archie left to serve in the Army during World War Two, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge. When he returned to his young wife and toddler son, Archie, they settled into a house on Miller and Fourth St., walking distance to St. Mary’s Church and School. This was very important to her when deciding where to live. In her later years, Archie and Lorraine enjoyed trips to the North Shore, antique shopping and taking drives through the countryside.

They especially loved time together decorating for holidays inside and out, once making the front page of the White Bear Press. Lorraine developed beautiful rose and perennial gardens, which were enjoyed by passersby and friends alike. She continued to live in this home until her mid-eighties.

For over sixty years, Lorraine volunteered at the church and school in many capacities: a teacher’s aide for Jan Fredericks, countless hours for school and church fund-raisers, serving communion and working on funerals, plus much more. Her natural creativity contributed in countless ways. She remained passion-

Ruby A. Gustaf, age 80, of White Bear Lake preceded in death by her husband Philip, daughter Patricia Gustaf.

Survived by her daughter Kelly Evans, grandsons Myles and Quinn Evans, brother Robert (Paulette) Frederick and their sons. Funeral Service Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2021 at 11 a.m. at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 3770 Bellaire Ave, White Bear Lake with visitation one hour before. Interment Roselawn Cemetery, Roseville. Arrangements by Honsa Family Funeral Home 651-429-6172.

ate about the church for her entire life. Four generations of Lorraine’s family graduated from St. Mary’s School. Her love of family, siblings and friendships lasted a lifetime, and her strong love of her community and dedication to giving back was central to who she was.

Lorraine was predeceased by her parents, Cecilia and Joseph Tessier, loving husband, Archie Peltier and her siblings, Francis Tessier, Gerald Tessier, Donald Tessier, Joseph Tessier, and Dolores Welch. She is survived by siblings Marcella McLevish and James Tessier, and by her children, Archie, Ronald, Carol, Cynthia and Mary. She is also survived by cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be deeply missed.

A Mass of Christian Burial at St. Mary of the Lake is being planned for early summer of 2022. Notice will be forthcoming.

Angus Meat owner celebrates retirement After 57 years at Angus Meat in Maplewood, Rick Atzmiller is passing on his family-owned store to his son, Eric. Atzmiller began working at Angus Meat in 1963 when he was 10 years old. He worked alongside his grandfather, Bill Sommerfeldt, who taught him everything he knows about being a butcher.

The fourth-generation operation has survived throughout the years because of its willingness to keep up with technology and new business practices. “We’re a local store, and we give people the best service (we) possibly can. Good customer service is hard to find, but we’re here to give good prices and service,” he said. As for what’s next for Angus Meat, Atzmiller says he is just happy to see his

grandfather’s legacy continue.

Similar programs havebeen developed each year since 1988.

The Public Works Department, annually, prepares the TIP using a collaborative process whereby the County solicits projects and input from area municipalities. Project inclusion in the TIP is based on a cooperative dialogue with municipal and state partners, along with technical analysis and consideration of funding opportunities. While funding limits will continue to challenge program delivery, communication and engagement with municipal partners ensures local needs and prioritiesare examined and addressed to the extent possible.

Projects included in the TIP are also looked at through the lens of the Ramsey County All Abilities Transportation Network (AATN) policy, which prioritizes the most vulnerable users (i.e. pedestrians, bicyclists, people ZLWK GLVDELOLWLHV ÀUVW 7KH GHVLJQ FRQVWUXFWLRQ DQG ULJKW RI ZD\ FRVWV LGHQWLÀHG LQ WKH 7,3 DUH estimates based on best practices in the industry. The funding landscape for transportation projects can be volatile and the ultimate delivery of the TIP is dependent on future funding levels. Partnering on projects with area communities, bordering counties, the Minnesota Department of Transportation and other state agencies will continue to be a critical way for Ramsey County to get the most from our available funds.

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mackenzie Leverty, whose volleyball resume includes playing for a collegiate national champion and coaching at several levels, is the new head coach for White Bear Lake.

Leverty, assistant to Mike Alexander for four years, got the job last week as Alexander stepped down.

She has coached club teams and Junior Olympics, and

“I enjoy instructing and coaching players to reach their highest potential, while playing the sport for which we share a love,” said Leverty.

Matt St. Martin, assistant activities director, said, “She will be an incredible asset to our coaching staff and school community as a whole.”

Alexander was coach for five years.

“It was time to focus on my family,” said Alexander. “I did everything I had set out to do with the program and felt really good with my long time assistant Mackenzie Leverty applying and in the end receiving the job.”

own bikes.”

Johnson, who has seven grandkids, was a health assistant for the school district before she retired.

Asked about the benefits of biking with her club, she listed several.

“Rides can be short, hilly and fast for a great workout, or can be a social leisure ride or a longer ride for endurance. The workout is addicting for me. I enjoy the beautiful outdoors and seeing nature on every ride. The camaraderie with the club is what keeps most of us coming back, sharing our passion, riding.”

Johnson rides a Trek Madone road bike, predominantly. She also has a Specialized Dolce Comp road bike with a wider tire and more tread for rougher terrain, along with two hybrid bikes and a mountain bike.

The TCBC’s record for mileage was set by a man in 2012 with 18,504. The top three women’s totals were 10,873 in 1998, 10,072 in 2015, and now Johnson’s total of 9,062.

Linda Johnson enjoys neighborhood rides with the grandkids, but most of her miles come on long treks with club groups.

Linda Johnson missed out on school sports, as Title IX came a bit too late for her, but she has enthusiastically embraced physical activity throughout her 66 years.

In the last decade, that’s mainly been bicycle riding. And she was recently honored by her bicycle club for logging 9,062 miles in a calendar year.

“I have always biked, but never more than leisurely,” said the White Bear Lake resident. “Since joining the club, I have gradually been increasing the mileage I ride each year.”

Johnson joined Twin Cities Bicycling Club in 2010 to take advantage of its many organized, recreational group rides. It has about 2,000 members.

Her mileage total between Nov. 1, 2000, and Oct. 31 was the third-highest total for a woman in the history of the club. She was the club’s first female since 1998 to log more miles than any of the men. Her feat was recognized at the club’s annual business and awards banquet, held last month.

“I have always liked physical activity.

Unfortunately, Title IX did not become law until I was out of high school,” said Johnson, who also enjoys downhill and cross-country skiing in the winter, and long hikes between seasons.

Solo biking is not for her. “I personally am more motivated riding with other people,” she said. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, club rides were limited to three or fewer participants from November through April, but after that the club went back to biking in large groups.

There’s one group whose company on the road she especially enjoys.

“My grandchildren — as toddlers, pulling them in a burley, then with a tagalong and eventually riding on their

Property tax hike coming next year in Vadnais Heights

Thru Dec. 24 Call 651-407-1250

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — Saying they couldn’t hold off any longer, the Vadnais Heights City Council will increase the tax levy for 2022.

The council lowered the 2021 tax increase by 5.41% because of hardships created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many residents actually paid more property taxes in 2020 than they did this year.

The levy increase for 2022 will be 12.2%. Based on a single-family home with a median value of about $322,000, taxpayers would pay an ad-

ditional $10.28 per month in property taxes if the value of the house has increased by approximately 4%.

Much of the budget for 2022, which was approved Dec. 7, includes capital improvement projects and expenditures that have been deferred for years. The largest expenditure – $750,000 –is earmarked for the purchase of a new fire engine; money for this capital expenditure would come from the city’s general fund, and will not be assessed to taxpayers.

Street improvements along South Oak Drive are also on the schedule.

Taxpayers would fund approximately

half of the cost of the improvements.

Because the street borders Community Park, Vadnais Heights will pay the other half.

The budget also covers parking and trail maintenance and modest pay increases for city employees. The total budget submitted to Ramsey County is $5.7 million.

After much discussion, the council also signed off on landscaping proposed for the At-Home Apartment project on McMenemy Street. Any changes to the plan will now be handled by city employees.

Carlson Clinic collects donations for Time on the Water CORINNE STREMMEL STAFF WRITER

Dustin Carlson and his team at The Carlson Clinic are raising funds until Dec. 31 for Time on the Water, a St. Paulbased nonprofit that provides fishing trips for veterans, police, teachers, firefighters and health care workers.

So far, $6,600 has been raised through the clinic's $10 adjustment program, which attracted more 350 patients, and its $20 “first visits,” where new patients have a chance to meet the chiropractic team.

Over the last 18 years, Carlson has selected four charities each year to support, and he’s capping off 2021 with a final donation to Time on the Water, thanks to a personal connection with his friend of 43 years, Ryan Street.

Street served in Afghanistan and Iraq in the Marine Corps after college. Carlson was inspired to support veterans after Street introduced him to Time on the Water’s mission.

“I’ve heard stories of vets who

might be struggling with PTSD who were taken on a fishing trip to Canada, and they come back a changed person. Everyone’s got different needs, and they don’t know where to turn or ask. We want to help out those military people with more than a check,” explained Carlson.

Time on the Water’s founder, Chris Hansen, shares the same mentality of wanting to do more for veterans than just sending a check to the Veterans Administration.

In April 2012, Hansen experienced a traumatic brain injury from a rollerblading accident that left him in and out of a coma for 30 days. Hansen attended weeks of rehab, where he relearned how to walk and use his left hand.

“Life after the accident was hard,” said Hansen. “I had PTSD from the accident and shut down pretty good. I kept working the whole time, but I was kind of losing myself a little bit.”

In 2013 and 2014, Hansen started going on fishing trips in

CONTRIBUTED

Canada to ease his mind from the stress of his recovery. He remembers calling his wife while he was there and telling her that he was feeling a shift in his mindset.

Hansen realized there were veterans and first responders who also experience PTSD who could use the clarity he found while on his fishing trips.

“One of the nurses who helped me after my accident was a Gulf

War medic. He kept me safe while I was in a coma, and I wanted to thank this guy,” said Hansen As a kid, when Hansen was feeling overwhelmed he remembered thinking to himself, “I need time on the water.”

Time on the Water takes 30 to 40 people every year on trips, which are all funded by individuals and local businesses that believe in the nonprofit's mission.

Carlson was inspired by Time on the Water’s unique approach to helping veterans like his friend, and wanted to do the same for other veterans in his community.

“We love to make a difference in the community and be a leader as a small business. It's something we get excited about, and seeing the patients smile, it’s so rewarding.”

Weather tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Last week’s snow totaled 6.2” in my back yard as compared to over 11” at the airport and it fell at a pretty good time, generally between Friday afternoon to just after midnight Saturday. This weekend was just beautiful with the white snow, stunning blue skies and perfect outdoor temperatures for getting out. Friends Dan, Chris and Sandy were able to try out their snowshoes in the fresh powder. With the craziness that is Minnesota , Thursday’s forecast calls for near 50º and rain. It will be an interesting day. Side note: My 2022 weather calendar is out! Check my website for more info.
