New options explored for downtown bus station

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — After going back to the drawing board, a Rush Line team looking for the best place for a downtown bus station have narrowed the possibilities to six.

Residents got a gander at those half-dozen station locations during a crowded open house Jan. 10 at City Hall. Ramsey County transit staff were on hand to answer questions at the display boards

around the room. People were asked to pick their top two favorites among the six before leaving.

Locations under consideration (See map): A. 7th Street and Washington Avenue (behind Beartown Bar & Grill) This station is farthest from the core of downtown and would require a safer pedestrian crossing at the 7th Street/ Highway 61 intersection.

Northbound and southbound passengers would use the same platform.

B. 4th Street and Division Avenue (city-owned parking lot east of Signature Orthodontics) — 4th Street or 7th Street routing Division Avenue would be extended from 4th Street (next to White Bear Bar) to 5th. The bus would return via Bloom Avenue back to 4th and south on Highway 61 under one option; or continue north to 7th, turn right and connect with 61 southbound.

Child care centers fall short of state standards

A touch of ice fishing elegance Rob Huebsch displays the Northern pike he just caught (and then released) on White Bear Lake Saturday, Jan. 12. The family ice shanty features some unusual and creative decorative touches provided by Rob’s wife Kate, including a lighted chandelier and a wicker sculpture of an African Oryx.

Several child care centers in the White Bear Lake area were cited for violating Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) requirements in 2018, including one center that was cited for a corporal punishment violation.

Tutor Time of White Bear Lake was cited for a staff person grabbing, lifting and carrying toddlers by their wrists and arms, according to DHS documents. Children who are grabbed by the arms or wrists are at risk of nursemaid's elbow, a dislocated elbow joint.

The center was cited because it did not enforce a policy that prohibits corporal punishment.

The Department of Human Services (DHS) monitors child care centers to ensure they are following license requirements. Biannually, a licenser makes a thorough investigation of rules and laws which are meant to keep children safe and provide for their developmental needs.

Tutor Time was cited for

28 more violations in 2018.

Notably, the center lacked documentation to show monthly crib safety inspections were completed. A teacher-qualified staff person was not present in infant and toddler classrooms when the licenser visited.

The center did not maintain required staff-to-child ratios in infant classrooms.

A climber on the preschool playground was splitting and had openings that could harm a child. Walls in classrooms had peeling and chipped paint. The center is located at 4673 White Bear Parkway.

Other local child care citations in 2018 • KinderCare in White Bear Lake was cited for a staff person that used threatening language. The staff person reportedly told a disobedient child they would call the child’s mother and the staff person would be happy if the child’s mother would give the child a whooping or a spanking.

National Lyme disease bill leads charge for new control strategy WASHINGTON, DC — A Minnesota Congressman was part of historic legislation aimed at Lyme disease that was introduced Jan. 3 at the beginning of the 116th Congress.

The bill would create a new national strategy on Lyme disease and strengthen federal efforts to fight, treat and prevent tick-borne illnesses.

Co-sponsored by Rep. Collin Peterson, lead Democrat, the legislation's key provisions include: • Creating an Office of Oversight and Coordination for tick-borne disease at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to oversee federal efforts to prevent and treat Lyme disease.

• Calls for a new national strategy on tick-borne diseases that requires the HHS Secretary to report to Congress on federal efforts to diagnose and treat Lyme and ensure collaboration between various agencies.

• Promotes coordination of federal tickborne disease activities with the HHS

Tick-borne Disease Working Group.

• Mandates that the HHS Secretary act to support better and expanded research on tick-borne diseases and the improvement of diagnostic testing, and promote education and public awareness of tickborne diseases.

Peterson is co-sponsoring the bill with Rep. Chris Smith, a New Jersey Republican and founder of the Congressional Lyme Disease Caucus. Their bill came shortly after the HHS Tick-borne Disease Working Group released its first annual report to Congress that stated that tickborne diseases have rapidly become a serious and growing threat to public health in the United States.

Smith said in a press release that the bipartisan legislation creates a new national strategy on Lyme disease and better coordinates efforts across federal agencies to make sure the response is targeted and effective. “We must have all hands on deck to combat these diseases,” he said.

Nationally known expert Pat Smith,

president of the Ocean County, New Jersey-based Lyme Disease Association, is on the HHS Tick-Borne Disease Working Group. She said of the legislation, “Everyone deserves protection against Lyme disease, yet Lyme has marched forward unchallenged across the U.S. for decades, disabling many including our most precious resources, our children, who are a high-risk group.

“CDC (Centers for Disease Control) announced in its Vital Signs monthly report that tick-borne disease case numbers have doubled between 2004-2016, and the U.S. is not prepared to deal with this threat —a fact substantiated by the 2017 record number of CDC-reported Lyme cases: 42,743.

Factoring in under-reporting, 427,430 new Lyme cases occurred in the U.S. alone in 2017, a staggering number, which does not include other tick-borne diseases (TBD) and disorders facing Americans.”

Continued Pat Smith, “Tick vectors of disease continue to proliferate unchecked, and the recent emergence over last year

of a new self-cloning tick in the U.S. that can lay up to 2,000 eggs, longicornis — that has already spread to nine states — should signal that we have a new enemy, yet we still have no idea what damage this one can do. This bill provides a plan for a national strategy under HHS to help, through research, patients already debilitated by Lyme/TBD — fighting for diagnosis, treatment and for their very lives — and to help prevent others from facing the same fate by developing methods of tick control. The time for Congress to act on this bill is now! Losing this war is not an option: everyone is a potential casualty.”

FUN WITH YOUR PONTOON BOAT STARTS WITH...

The Right Insurance at the Right Price!

Pontoon-style boats are one of the fastest-growing market segments in recreational boat sales today Travelers Boat policies provide Mechanical Breakdown Coverage.

This is an important feature to have with every policy, as a boat engine represents a significant portion of a boat’s overall purchase price and valuation. With Travelers Agreed Value boat policies, there is no depreciation or deductible applied to the loss payment in the event of a total loss to the boat and engine.* To request the Travelers specialized pontoon boat coverages, call us at Anders, Ireland and Marshall today - 919-832-6667. The coverages will be endorsed to the policy at the time of policy issuance. *Personal Property losses are subject to depreciation and to the deductible shown on the declarations page (items on the boat such as unattached fishing gear).

Their rapid growth is not surprising. Pontoon boats offer amazing utility for recreational boaters and a price tag that’s difficult to beat.

In recognition of this, Travelers has created a special Pontoon Boat Endorsement, offering coverages for the unique features of pontoon and tritoon boats.

THESE ADDED COVERAGES INCLUDE: • Pontoon Replacement Coverage – If a pontoon is punctured, creased, holed or dented, it will be replaced with a new pontoon.

• Waiver of Depreciation – On protective covers, cushions, carpeting and upholstery.

• Coverage for – Damage caused by vermin and marine life.

• The Travelers Pontoon Boat Endorsement is available for pontoon and tritoon boats no more than 10 years of age at the time the policy is purchased.

Not every pontoon insurance policy sold in Minnesota provides the same coverage.

And...not every policy costs the same.

If your Pontoon is 10 years of age or newer, we can provided a policy that includes all of that and more.

• Does your policy provide full replacement of pontoons that are punctured, crease, holed, or dented?

• Does your policy waive deprecation on covers, cushions, carpeting, and upholstery in events of loss?

• Does your policy cover damage by vermin and/ or marine life?

Gallivan Insurance Agency Inc.

• Rental reimbursement up to $1000 per occurrence.

Michael Gallivan, Agency Owner

• There is no additional premium for these coverages.

Press Publications construction

A

s we work through some construction challenges at the Press with a roof that collapsed due to the heavy snow last spring, we’re thankful that we had insurance. I am also grateful for local contractors like Pelco Construction and TR Computer Sales who have helped us navigate the project.

This week we took delivery of structural steel that was fabricated in Lino Lakes by Boe Ornamental Iron. As the Press Publications building is put back together, it is great working with local businesses with local solutions.

I need to express my sincere appreciation to Don Peltier and his team at Pelco, our vendors, the City of White Bear Lake and staff at First PresbyPublisher’s terian Church, where more than half our team is temporarily housed. I View want to also say thanks to the Press who have worked through tough Carter Johnson staff conditions and kept producing a great newspaper; and our customers and readers who have shown patience with us through this project. We are hopeful our building will be completed by the time the grass turns green.

Thefts in the area Early each Tuesday morning, our delivery driver Joe, loads our white Chevrolet cargo van for deliveries of the youth carrier routes and news rack locations. As he started the van a few weeks ago, he nearly jumped out of his skin as it sounded like someone had fired up a Harley. After quickly shutting the van off, he crawled under it to find that the catalytic converter had been cut off. This part of the exhaust is made from a metal in the platinum family and is used to help with emissions. They are a target for thieves who might be able to get $20-$60 at a recycling center.

Cutting off a catalytic converter could take about 1 to 3 minutes with a cordless sawzall. It can cost owners hundreds of dollars to repair or replace. A huge thank you to Paul at Knutson Auto for the repair and getting us back on the road quickly.

Since our incident, we have learned of more catalytic converters being stolen off trucks in the area. If you have a late model truck or van, or a new Toyota truck, keep it parked indoors or under video surveillance. As I looked at our newer cargo van from Walser Chevrolet, it is clear the manufacturer now tucks these parts up and out of sight so they aren’t easy to remove. Be smart where you park your vehicles and always keep an eye out for suspicious activity.

Christmas Eve Serving prime rib has been a real treat for Christmas Eve dinner at our house for the past several years.

This year we nearly nailed it with a perfectly cooked roast that we purchased from Roma in Mahtomedi.

As we waited for the temperature to hit 115 degrees, we did everything in our power to make the evening delightful for our parents, who were our guests. For the last 15 of 17 years we have played host, and it seems every year something is missing or wrong — overcooked meat, cold plates, or the meal served too late.

While this year’s prime rib and all the sides were cooked to perfection and on time, we realized at the last minute (thanks to my dad pointing it out) that we had no horseradish. My mother-in-law likes it, too. After making a few phone calls to see if stores were open and finding they weren’t, I put it out to our neighborhood group social media page. I think I said we were having a minor Christmas emergency. Within a few minutes, our neighbor responded they were on the way over with some horseradish. Within a second we had a knock on the door, and Jono and his puppy delivered the last ingredient to our Christmas dinner – a container of horseradish. Many thanks go out to Brooke and Jono for helping us complete our holiday meal. This neighborly gesture as we sat down to our first Christmas Eve dinner in our new home was a discussion topic about Christmas spirit.

Going out of your way to give and to help others is meaningful, even if just in simple ways. It was also great to be able to laugh over horseradish rather than discuss the current state of politics with my parents and in-laws.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Whit Bear White B has h more Rose Bowl connections I read with interest the article from the Jan. 2 issue of the White Bear Press concerning Paul Ramseth and his Rose Bowl experience. White Bear has some additional ties to that 1962 Rose Bowl team. Ted Rude, White Bear High School class of 1958, was a tight end, and Cary Colberg, White Bear High School class of 1959, was a running back. In addition, Gerry Dittbrener was on the field as a member of the Minnesota Marching Band. I have no further information on Ted, but both Gary and Gerry have distinguished themselves in later life and both have been inducted into the White Bear Lake High School Wall of Fame.

Gary Colberg, who recently passed away, was inducted in 2011. He excelled in three sports and led the White Bear High School Student Council. At the University of Minnesota, he was a member of 1961 and 1962 Rose Bowls for the Gophers, later earning an MA in physical education. After teaching and coaching for four years at Hamline University, he moved to the University of California/Davis where he created 57 different sports activities involving 15,000 students. There, he also helped raise funds for many facilities, e.g., a $28 million recreation center. In the world of volleyball, Colberg officiated at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and was a coordinator at the 1996 Atlanta Games. In 1985 he created a collegiate volleyball sport club championship that has become the largest event of its kind in the U.S. Gerald Dittberner was inducted in 2016. His résumé bulges with accomplishments, including degrees from the University of Minnesota (1964) and the University of Wisconsin (1969) with a Ph.D. in meteorology in 1977. Dr. Dittberner became Lieutenant Colonel Dittberner in the United States Air Force before entering the private aerospace industry. Later, he became program manager for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that launches geostationary weather satellites. He has been nationally recognized

b i tific publicabli

by NASA NASA. O Over 50 scientifi tions bear his imprint. The list goes on and on, yet two of his fondest memories are having been chosen drum major for the WBHS Band and playing clarinet in the U of M’s Marching Band in the 1962 Rose Bowl.

Government shutdown, what's next?

It would be imprudent for the Democrats to give in to (President Donald) Trump’s demand for a border wall simply to get the government open and running again. Trump has seized upon the shutdown as an effective tool to force approval of his demands.

Undoubtedly, this same tactic will be used in the future, over and over again, whenever Trump deems it convenient to get what he wants. He will “proudly” shut it down no matter how drastically it may affect the general public. What’s next?

A short trip to heaven When you hear a phrase about a “trip to heaven,” your mind may assume it’s about one of those “near-death” experiences. Articles and books are around regarding someone who was clinically dead and experienced an out-of-body state. Some write about approaching a beautiful light, or seeing a loved one, or being given a new peace. Fascinating — and rather hopeful. However, the trip to heaven that I had was in plain view and experienced by hundreds. If you scoff at such a thing, let me tell you about it. It happened on Jan. 6, 2019 at my church, Community of Grace in White Bear Lake.

There was a packed house, lovely music and vocals that were quite angelic.

It began innocently enough, totally on earth, but kept ascending as the hour moved along. The down-to-earth sermon had several inspiring epiphanies.

It was genuine and relevant, and included things that made us smile together and made us think “oh, so true.” We

d ffor a team t f lk going i on a prayed off 15 folks mission trip to Haiti and soon returned to music. The beauty of souls in worship, singing together, heads upward, elevated above the issues and concerns of the day, was a glimpse of glory. When I realized that the lead vocalist was a young woman who has two children slowly dying of a rare genetic disorder, I was transported higher. My old mentor told me years ago that “you gotta die to go to heaven,” and I know what he meant, but this was close.

Then came communion. The pastor led us into it with an explanation that our semicircular kneeling at the altar is completed full circle by those worshipping on the eternal side. What a picture! The people streamed up, a stream of love and grace. They poured in to where the grace of God was poured out. I was transported, briefly, to the heavenly realms, where healing and harmony abide. I could see humanity flowing to the throne of God. I won’t tell you that it happens every Sunday in every church. I’d guess we often miss it in our weakness and preoccupations. But I thought I should tell you. It isn’t that far away.

A thank you from immigration panelist I would like to share a thank you note from Malika Benachour, one of the panelists who shared her story with 130 people who attended the Jan. 9 social justice committee immigration event.

She posted this on social media with a beautiful photo of St. Mary’s church from the outside: “Along with three other speakers (Mexican, Nigerian and Hmong), I shared my story as an immigrant in this country at St. Mary’s Catholic church. The outpouring amount of love coming from audience members made us feel valued. The questions revealed good intentions.

What a supportive crowd and a great testimony of a welcoming America!

This is the America I dreamed of ever since I was a child. This is the America I live in today. I will say it again, I

f tto let l t any type t liti make k refuse off politics me think any different.”

Benachour is a French-Algerian teaching in North St. Paul.

We need to reevaluate objective of bus terminal The downtown bus terminus situation has taken on the couch-in-the-newapartment dilemma. After moving it around the room, if it doesn’t fit the room, you get a new couch. It's a casualty of moving. In this case that means re-evaluating the terminus’ objective: should it be a community focal point destination or a supplementary stop along the road?

If we are going to commit to several hundred million dollars to nurture mass transit habits and advance alternative transportation choices like walking and biking, I think we need to integrate it more completely into each other and our community. I’m sure I’m not the first to draw upon the old maintenance yard for this purpose. If this homeless patch of shrink-wrapped boats surrounded by wetlands is not a Superfund site from previous activity, I think we should kick around the Transportation Village idea focused on higher density housing, affordable housing, public parking and transit.

The site has exit/access via Whitaker (to Otter Lake) and Hoffman and would be directly on the Bruce Vento trail.

If the trail is extended within the Hwy. 61 corridor, as promised for eons, it provides a ribbon of mobility into the core downtown and its many destinations. We will need to tackle the eastwest transit discussion and in doing so could include a contingency for small shuttle bus service from the Village to the multiple downtown and citywide locations. It’s hard to get upset about putting transit in this site, but it can be very exciting to see the focus transit could bring to the development of this parcel.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:

Vadnais Heights • A 29-year-old man was arrested in the Walmart parking lot the afternoon of Dec. 27 for tampering with a motor vehicle. The St. Paul man was also charged with possession of pot and stolen items and obstruction of the legal process.

• A shelf lock was bent and nine wireless headphones were stolen the evening of Dec. 27 at Walmart. Value not reported.

• A man with a lengthy criminal record was apprehended on Dec. 29 by a K-9 partner after breaking a sliding glass door in the 3200 block of Greenbrier Street with a 42-inch crowbar and attempting to enter the home of a 55-year-old woman. The wheelchair-bound victim, who has a previous relationship with the suspect, called 911. The 51-year-old Little Canada man is bipolar and neglects to take his medications, the victim told deputies. The suspect was booked into jail on a misdemeanor warrant for his arrest for violation of the no-contact order. A criminal damage to property charge, estimated at $1,500 by the victim’s landlord, is under review.

• Tires and rims from a 2017 Ford Expedition were stolen at a car lot in the 3400 block of Highway 61 overnight on Dec. 29. The loss was estimated at $5,000.

• A gang of four individuals split into two groups at Walmart on Dec. 29, grabbing toys and apparel, plac-

ing them in Walmart bags and making tracks without stopping at the checkout counter. The total loss is unknown.

• It was easy pickings for the thief at 5 a.m. Jan. 2 who climbed into a running gray 2000 Chevrolet Blazer in the 1000 block of County Road D and drove it away.

• Things didn’t go as planned in the wee hours of Jan. 4 in the 1100 block of County Road E when a K-9 partner alerted deputies to possible narcotics inside a vehicle. Females ages 34 and 26 and a 40-year-old male were arrested and turned over to an outside agency.

One female was later booked into jail on a burglary warrant for her arrest.

• Two unlocked vehicles parked in the 700 block of Stockdale Road were relieved of chump change the night of Jan. 4 according to the 34-year-old female and 78-year-old male victims.

• While the clerk at Speedway in the 1000 block of County Road E was helping a customer in the early morning hours of Jan. 4, another customer relieved the clerk of her cellphone. No suspects.

• The driver looked like she was used to bad news and was about to get more after being stopped the afternoon of Jan. 4 in the 3200 block of Edgerton Street.

Sure enough, the 38-year-old Maplewood woman was taken into custody on Ramsey and Washington county warrants for her arrest and booked into jail.

• A lock on a detached garage in the 1100 block of County Road D was cut and electronics, tires and rims from a vehicle inside were reported stolen the morning

of Jan. 5. The loss totaled $1,600. An investigation is underway.

• It’s not that unusual to see males in ski masks in January — until one of them implies he has a weapon and demands the cash. The desk clerk at the Country Inn and Suites the night of Jan. 6 in the 3500 block of Vadnais Center Drive cooperated as the pair grabbed bills from the cash drawer before fleeing the scene.

• Deputies responding to Jan. 7 report of a domestic situation in the 300 block of McMenemy Circle arrested and released an intoxicated 32-year-old local woman on charges of disorderly conduct and obstructing the legal process.

White Bear Township • A deputy responded Dec. 28 to a harassment report by a 39-year-old local woman who complained she was being harassed via text by a man she met online. The suspect was identified as a 41-year old out of Plymouth and told to knock it off.

• A 32-year-old local female was booked into jail Jan. 2 following her arrest in the 4100 block of Lakewood Avenue on a felony DUI warrant.

• A juvenile male, age and hometown not released due to the requirements of the state Data Practices Act, was booked into the county Juvenile Detention Center following an assault the morning of Jan. 2 at the Bellaire Education Center on County Road F. Charges are pending.

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's office reported the following incidents:

Birchwood • A 21-year-old woman in the 500 block of Hall Avenue reported Dec. 17 receiving text messages from a fake number threatening to kill her and her family.

She suspected a former roommate, a White Bear man, 24, because of similar incidents in the past. The man denied sending the texts. The woman was advised to file for an order for protection.

Grant • A Maplewood woman who left her vehicle at Dellwood Road N and Kimbro Avenue N. Dec. 15 to use the Gateway Trail reported her rear passenger window broken when she returned between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m. A black leather bag containing her driver's license, debit card and checkbook were removed.

• Felony theft by swindle was reported Dec. 17 in the 15000 block of 62nd Street N. The victim, 76, said he gave

an unknown suspect his bank account number and computer information for a rebate. Two withdrawals were made from his checking account, first for $4,990 and then for $4,986, without permission, and he is concerned about future ramifications as his tax information and driver's license information is on the computer.

• A Minneapolis man, 25, and a Coon Rapids man, 39, were cited for fifth-degree assault Dec. 19 in the 9000 block of Hidden Glade Avenue. The men punched each other on a job site after a verbal argument.

• Property damage was reported Dec. 17 in the 200 block of Hallam Curve after a property owner said an unknown person clipped branches off his tree. No suspects.

• A pollution report was filed Dec. 17 against a male resident, 64, in the 300 block of Dunbar Way who was seen putting road salt on a pond. The man admitted to putting down salt so his disabled dog could walk across the pond to the trail. Information was passed to the watershed district's attorney, who planned to call the DNR about the matter.

• Domestic assault was reported Dec. 18 between a mother, 35, and son, 17. Three deputies responded to the 100 block of Hallam Curve.

• Theft from motor vehicle was reported Dec. 19 on Long Lake Road. The female victim, a Bayport woman, 40, said she left $380 and her bank card in an envelope in her unlocked car. When she returned, the envelope was missing.

Suspicious charges then showed up on her checking account, which was frozen by the bank and reimbursed.

The complainant was told once she filed a police report, the bank would release information about the suspect.

• Property damage was reported Dec. 22 in the 100 block of Grove Street after a tenant discovered four broken windows and bricks both inside and outside the home that did not belong to the house.

Three were located inside one of the bedrooms. Possible suspects were discussed.

• Theft was reported in the 100 block of Wildwood Bay Drive Dec. 23 after a couple hired someone to clean their home.

When they confronted the person about missing items, she reportedly became very aggressive.

Prop repurposed for new production Lakeshore Players Theatre’s production of Baskerville features a unique set piece that has made its way across the state.

This set piece stands about 3 feet high and 4 feet wide. It is dual sided, one side being used as a telegraph messenger’s desk and the other side a hotel’s front desk. This set piece originally made its debut in Park Square Theatre’s production of “Baskerville” this past June. The set piece then made its way to Duluth to be featured in The Underground’s production of “Baskerville.”

The Underground is a 120-seat theatre that is part of the Duluth Playhouse. During the Minnesota Theatre Alliance State Theatre Conference, the artistic director of The Underground, Robert Lee, connected with members of the Lakeshore Players Theatre staff and informed them that they had this set piece. Lee invited staff to come up to Duluth to retrieve the set piece and bring it back to Lakeshore for use in its January production.

Rookie cops get extra bump in pay WHITE BEAR LAKE — Benefits aside, wages for White Bear Lake police officers are receiving an adjustment.

Bird count finds that milder winters bring southern birds to Minnesota

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

There are few citizen science projects as longstanding and thorough as the Audubon Christmas Bird Count: it’s a tradition stretching back more than 100 years. More than 50 citizens took part in the Northeast Suburban Audubon Christmas Bird Count on Dec. 29, 2018.

This particular count takes place in a 15-mile radius, centered on Withrow. This region includes parts of Stillwater, Marine on St. Croix, White Bear Lake, Hugo and Mahtomedi. Counters gather into small groups, with a mixture of bird experts and novices, and walk routes through neighborhoods and along roads to count the number of species of birds they see. Residences with feeders are some of the most reliable places to fi nd wintering birds, and the open waters of the St. Croix River provide habitat for many species of waterfowl.

This year’s tally included 46 species of birds, consistent with the 60-year average of 47, according to count coordinator Jim Howitz. However, the total of 6,139 individual birds is almost 1,000 lower than average. Howitz thought that this might be due to lower numbers of pigeons and house sparrows, both of which are non-native species.

Numbers from this year’s Audubon Christmas Bird Count support the trend of the last several years: birds are moving north. At its beginning, the Northeast Suburban count observed far fewer cardinals, red-bellied woodpeckers and turkeys.

Today these species are all common winter birds in this region, as they have been spending winters farther and farther north. The sparrows, bluebirds and robins that are typical on this year’s count were once more typical for Iowa and states even further south.

One of the most unusual sightings of the 2018 count was of a Carolina wren, which normally resides in the southern U.S. However, this species has turned up during Minnesota winters for the last several years. Howitz said that although the sighting was uncommon, he expects that this species will be increasingly seen this far north as winters get milder, especially around the St. Croix River valley.

Correspondingly, northern species such as pine grosbeaks and crossbills are rarely seen in recent years, as they now prefer to spend their winters further north.

Another unusual sighting was of a yellow-bellied sapsucker. Since these birds feed on the sap in trees, and the sap freezes during the winter, this bird can’t rely on its regular diet. This

Although brown creepers are tricky to spot, especially since they blend in so well with tree bark, they can occasionally be found in Minnesota during the winter.

particular bird was visiting a suet feeder in the count area.

The number of American robin sightings was conspicuously low in 2017—only 7 individuals were spotted. This year, the number seems to be much closer to normal, with 388.

Common mergansers were abundant this year, but no common goldeneyes were seen. Howitz explained that these waterfowl numbers fluctuate wildly from year to year, likely due to the amount of open water on the river.

Howitz noted that the completed construction of St. Croix Crossing bridge has had an impact on the count numbers. The drainage around the entrance ramp has changed, which has reduced the number of species that were once reliably found in that area. In past years, the water south of the bridge has stayed open, providing ample waterfowl sightings. This year, it was iced over.

Howitz believes that the habitat may improve in that area when the landscaping is completed.

2018 was an unusually good year for pine siskins, a type of finch with a very pointy beak. Many northeast metro residents will find them at their feeders this winter.

RUSH LINE: Evaluating six options

9A

Downtown station options under evaluation

FROM PAGE 1A

61 - in-line platform (next to Railroad Park) This option would require the highway to shift 15 feet into Railroad Park. A driver facility would be located at 7th and Washington Avenue (behind Beartown). This would serve as a bus layover and turn-around spot. Customers would not board there.

A southbound platform would be across 61.

D. 2nd Street and Clark Avenue (US Bank) This option is closest to the downtown core. Many residents are opposed to this location, saying it will ruin the historic character of the neighborhood. A parking ramp on site is no longer part of the plan.

E. Banning and Highway 61 (north of CVS) Bus operations are difficult. The turn on to 7th at Banning has safety issues.

F. Arrive at 4th Street and Highway 61; depart from 7th Street and Washington Avenue (behind Beartown) The southbound station is farthest from downtown destinations and a quarter mile from the northbound platform, which may be confusing. This option avoids impacts to Railroad Park presented in C. Asked her favorite, Mayor Jo Emerson named E, which has a platform north of CVS. “It is close enough to downtown so people can walk and it only has one platform. It has the least impact,” she said.

County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt prefers F, at this point. “It avoids congestion on Fourth Street.”

The commissioner, who lives in White Bear Lake, noted that her preference is personal opinion. “I will listen to what people say before making a decision and follow the guidance of the city.” Added Reinhardt, “It’s pretty incredible what this (bus service) is going to open up for people.”

The bus rapid transit will connect the northeast metro to the regional transit system. It’s anticipated that the buses will serve more than 97,000 people and connect to more than 106,000 jobs within a 10-minute walk of the 21 planned stations between Union Depot and White Bear Lake.

Buses will run seven days a week from early in the morning to late at night.

Does the project team have a favorite? “Right now, no,” replied Beth Bartz, a transit consultant on the planning team. “Some of these have challenges. This is where we need community input.”

Bartz added that the downtown needs a station.

“The reason downtown White Bear Lake is attractive or makes sense from a transit standpoint is you want to put transit where people live and in places people want to go. Downtown White Bear Lake has the density for both things,” she maintained.

Asked if the Clark Avenue station was no longer a contender, Bartz said the only way things go away totally is if the Policy Advisory Committee takes action. “They are directing the project,” she said.

An older couple who live two blocks from downtown had differing opinions. Jim Chelberg likes a central location that’s accessible, like B and C; he’s neutral on D. His wife Meridith on the other hand, said her choice would be a stop going north on 61 that continues to Hugo for water and restroom breaks. “They don’t need a turnaround if they’re going to Hugo. There is land there,” she stated.

Attorney Dick Galena has an office just north of 7th Street. He doesn’t like any of the options, but put A on his comment sheet. “But I still don’t like it. If

An unpopular station at Second Street and Clark Avenue on the US Bank site is among the options, but will likely be scrapped.

Bus Rapid Transit provides frequent service seven days a week. Stations have amenities like shelter, light and heat.

we are forced to choose, that is the best one,” he said.

“Buses should be kept away from the east side of Highway 61,” Galena added. “The end platform should be on the west side of 61 or moved further north, like Hugo. I’m not sure people realize these end platforms are 130 feet long. They must accommodate two buses.”

Jay Rendall doesn’t want buses driving downtown, period. “Stay on 61 or go north and turn around. The project team should be more forward thinking; more big picture. Get it out of downtown,” he said. If he had to choose, Rendall preferred C, with the turnaround at Beartown.

County Senior Transportation Planner Andy Gitzlaff said staff is in the process of compiling and reviewing the public input received to date on the station options.

“The next steps include receiving input from the White Bear Lake City Council on the preferred downtown station location,” he said. “We are currently discussing the timeline for this input with the

LOOKING BACK Week of January 13 – January 19, 2019 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.

1919 Judge S. C. Smith stepped into the post office to get his mail, rather thoughtlessly leaving his dog on the outside. Just then another canine came along, and noticed that the Smith dog was about one-fourth his own size.

This encouraged him to take a bite out of him; but the quick come-back of the Smith dog seemed rather more than he bargained for. Judge Smith, tried to stop the fight by giving oral commands, but neither dogs were going to let up. Finally the owner of the bigger dog appeared on the scene and both men got his dog by the tail and gave them a steady pull. Both dogs gave up the fight. It’s a slow news season…

1944 A few weeks ago we talked about cleaning up the barnyard to keep rats from moving in. It’s still a good idea, but if rats are cutting in on your valuable feed supply, you may wish to combine a cleanup campaign and poisoning. Appetizing baits like chopped lean meats, fish, liver, bacon, egg, work well…

1969 The serious problem of pollution was the subject of discussion by a group of concerned citizens from Lake Avenue, South Shore Blvd. and Cottage Park Road at the home of Mrs. Alfred F. Marblestone, Monday evening. What was once a beautiful clear lake is being destroyed by cess pools, storm sewer

emptying into the lake and careless public. The group knew of and gave locations of where this waste was entering the lake…

1994 Area municipalities that provide up to 45 percent of the City of White Bear Lake’s fire and ambulance budget plan to meet later this month to discuss possible contract changes. Some communities have expressed concerns about lack of input to the service and budget, according to a letter from Dellwood Fire Commissioner Robert

Gardner presented to the White Bear Township Board of Supervisors last month. Gardner said in the letter that the municipalities do not have “significant input” yet they contribute about 45 percent to the city’s fire costs….

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — The City Council conducted the following business at its Jan. 8 meeting, much of it annual housekeeping chores: • Approved the legal services agreement for representation in the lawsuit pertaining to stormwater sediments related to chemicals from coal tar sealants.

Councilman Doug Biehn made the motion, acknowledging that he was glad the council outvoted him back in 2010 when the city banned use of coal tar sealant on driveways. He recalled that he voted against the ban because he preferred laws be statewide rather than local. The state banned the sealant three years later (see “Coal tar refi ners sued for polluting ponds,” Jan. 9 White Bear Press).

The possibility of a lawsuit was fi rst raised in closed session Nov. 29, 2017. New York attorney Robin Greenwald presented information to council about participating in a lawsuit to recover damages resulting from the sale and use of coal tar-based sealants. A second closed session was held April 10, 2018 to further discuss the litigation. Staff was directed at the time to work with participating cities to fi nalize a legal services agreement. The agreement includes a clause that permits the city to withdraw from the lawsuit at any time.

• Designated the city prosecutor and counselor for 2019.

Robb Olson will remain the prosecutor at the same hourly rate as set in 2017 when the city approved his three-year contract. It was iterated that costs were increased in 2017 to support more aggressive efforts to prosecute domestic abuse cases and DUI arrests. The cost of legal services was $156,000 in 2017.

The city's legal counsel will change. Andy Pratt of Eckberg Lammers did not seek renewal of the contract due to personal circumstances. Pratt was appointed in August 2017 to replace Roger Jensen, who retired. The municipal law fi rm of Kennedy & Graven will serve as council for six months with Troy Gilchrist as lead attorney. Gilchrist represents the cities of Brooklyn Center, Crystal and the Minnetonka Water Conservation District, among other smaller municipalities.

The city attorney receives a monthly retainer of $3,000, plus an hourly rate of $160 for extraneous services, such as circuit court and appellate

litigation, complex real estate work, labor negotiations, administrative hearings and developer project-based services. Developer-reimbursed work is billed at $200 an hour.

Staff will prepare a request for proposals for legal services in the meantime for council consideration.

• Appointed city representatives to the Ramsey County League of Local Governments – Doug Biehn; Ramsey County Dispatch Policy Committee – Doug Biehn; Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization – Dan Jones; and Rush Line Task Force – Jo Emerson.

• Set 2019 fees associated with the right of way ordinance.

Public Works Director Paul Kauppi said staff recommends that excavation and obstruction permit fees be set at $200. Contractors would not be charged both for the same job. A small cell wireless permit fee will be set at $500 for up to five sites and $100 for each additional site.

• Named the White Bear Press official city news-

Beckler reaches 1,000 as Bear cagers improve to 11-1

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Jeremy Beckler became a 1,000-point scorer while helping White Bear Lake improve to 11-1 with two conference victories last week.

Beckler sank 20 points in an 80-63 win at Stillwater on Tuesday, Jan. 8, reaching the milestone with a pull-up jumper late in the game, and 17 more in a 72-62 win over Woodbury at home Friday.

“It was nice to get it over with,” said the 6-8 forward, adding that this was an individual goal and it was “kind of a grind all year” to chip away at it.

As for team goals: “Twenty wins, in the regular season, and at least reach the section finals and have a chance at state,” said Beckler.

He reflected: “Starting the year eleven and one is just insane, especially after the last couple years, and with so many players from my grade on varsity.” The seven seniors, including all five starters, includes Sam Schwartz, who

reached 1,000 points a month earlier.

“It means even more to do it with Sam,” Beckler said.

Beckler averaged 10 points on a 6-21 team in 10th grade and 19 points on a 15-12 team as a junior. He’s averaging 20.6 points this year.

Coach Keith Lockwood praises Beckler for his ability to score both from the post and the perimeter, “which makes him a difficult match up” along with his intelligent and even-keeled approach. “He is the guy you want at the free throw line, or with the ball in his hands, in the waning seconds of a tight game.”

Beckler, also the soccer team’s goalie as a senior, will play basketball for Carleton College. “I think Jeremy is destined to have a great experience playing for Carleton,” Lockwood said, “and I’m looking forward to watching him the next four years.”

Schwartz added 19 points and Isaac Tessier 10 against Stillwater. Schwartz led with 23 against Woodbury and Tessier had 16 points.

White Bear Lake took on undefeated, No. 1 ranked Minnetonka on the Skippers' ice Thursday, Jan. 10, and made it close with a late surge, but lost 3-2.

“We had some really good scoring chances, on both five on five and on our power play, but we didn’t capitalize,” Bear coach Tim Sager said.

“That was the difference in the game.”

Minnetonka (15-0-1) led 3-0, with Hunter

Newhouse scoring twice, and had the No. 6 Bears (12-2-1) blanked until 7:25 remained when Triston Johnson got them on the board. Billy Rose scored with 12 seconds left to make it 3-2. Bears goalie Evan Foss stopped 24 of 27 shots and Minnetonka’s Charlie Glockner 28 of 30.

Sager said his players didn’t accept just being close and hoped for another shot at the Skippers.

“We found out tonight that when we execute our systems we can be a real good team,” Sager said.

The Bears won twice

last week, 5-2 over Park on goals by Jake Klein, Chase Bill, Grant Hofeld, Sam Verkerke and Blake Meister, and 5-4 over Woodbury in overtime.

The Bears barely averted an upset by Woodbury (5-10) two days after the Minnetonka game, trailing 4-2 in the third period.

Sam Newpower’s second goal of the game tied the score with 1:58 left in regulation and Meister won it 2:44 into the extra session. Lleyton Roed and Hofeld also scored. Tyler Steffens was in goal both games.

has helped his cause. His wife, Elizabeth, comes from a family of seven so there are dozens of nieces, nephews and in-laws out there. “They are not snowmobilers, but they vote!” Kallman said. His wife, he added, is pretty good at mobilizing her friends as well.

Kallman grew up in Zimmerman. He played hockey for Elk River, and briefly for Bethel College. He started snowmobiling at age eight. He currently owns a 1999 Ski-Doo, a 2007 Arctic Cat, and a new Polaris that was a gift from Elizabeth this year.

He has never raced, as some of the other North America’s Top Snowmobilers have. He’s noticed that the 20-somethings in the contest include nifty racing footage in their videos. All he’s got is one somewhat blurry photo jumping a drift.

Tom and Elizabeth have five kids.

Jesse and Nicolette are in their 20s with jobs. The triplets, Dylan and sisters Chloe and Blaise, are sophomores in college.

“Five kids in hockey financially pulled me away from snowmobiling, but we are empty-nesters now,” he said.

All of them played hockey on youth teams and/or Junior Gold. Chloe briefly played varsity. Dad spent a lot of time at hockey rinks the last two decades.

“One year I had four kids on four different teams. One year I coached three different teams,” Kallman said.

He tried to bribe his kids.

“I had a standing offer that if they quit hockey, I would buy them a snowmobile.

It’s cheaper! None of them did. But team sports are good, too, so I would never discourage that.”

His wife, a Southern California native he met at Bethel and took snowmobiling on their first date, is the only non-sledder in the family.

“She doesn’t like Minnesota winters, and she always says that once she can retire she’s going back to California for winters and I can stay here and snowmobile.”

Charlie Larson, a freshman at White Bear Area High School-North Campus, had opportunity to compete in St. Petersburg, Russia, late last year in the Gymnastics World Age Group Championships. He is on the U.S. Gymnastics Junior National Team for trampoline and tumbling as a junior elite. Charlie trains at Gleasons Gymnastics in Maple Grove. His mom Kristine Larson said his 15th place of 36 in his bracket may not have been Charlie’s best performance, but it “was a terrific experience.”

Tom Kallman posed on one of his sleds.

The father of five hockey players recently got back into snowmobiling as an “empty-nester.”

Athlete

There’s a 54-year-old Lino Lakes salesman who resumed his lifelong passion of snowmobiling the past couple years — after a 20-year distraction caused by five hockey-playing kids.

And suddenly Tom Kallman has gotten himself into an online contest called “North America’s Top Snowmobiler” sponsored by Ski-Doo. The personable sportsman is off to a good start and needs your vote to stay in contention.

“It’s probably a publicity stunt by SkiDoo more than anything,” he said. “They look for volunteers from across North America to compete, and put it online for fans to vote. It probably doesn’t mean much to the general public, but I’ve found that it’s a pretty big deal to snowmobilers. I didn’t know how big it was before I got in.”

Kallman noticed the Ski-Doo ad asking “Are you North America’s Top Snowmobiler?” on Instagram while following a friend making a cross-country motorcycle trip. He submitted a brief bio and must have impressed someone. “Supertrax Media called,” he reports, “and said, ‘We consider you to be one of our top 16,’ and asked me to send a video and an action photo.”

The first round consisted of eight twoman contests, with fans voting on each.

Kallman was matched with a Wyoming sledder and won handily. Voting for the second round is underway. He now faces a Canadian in the quarterfinals.

The overall winner gets a new Ski-Doo, a CKMP mountain riding snowmobile trip, and $2,500 worth of riding equipment.

You can view Kallman’s bio and video, and all the others, at www.supertraxmag.com/nats, and cast a vote if you’d like. There’s been over 30,000 votes cast.

The voters seem to have picked up on Kallman’s passion for their sport. “The smiles and giggles inside your helmet when you pin that throttle or jump a drift. There’s nothing like it,” Kallman coos on his bio. He also relates how he and his brother take “hard-core sledders” and a group from his church on excursions in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin.

His video — self-directed and filmed, on his cell phone camera propped on a tripod — shows him discussing snowmobiling with 130 snowmobile magazines spread out on a table in front of him. He never discarded them, because he wants information readily available on any used machine he or friends may want to buy.

Kallman, who sells office products, noticed that some of the other guys have gotten a boost from their local newspaper. “The Canadian guy has gotten a lot of local publicity,” he said. So he figured he’d ask Press Pubs' papers about that.

Coach Keith Newman said Centers has “the best 3-point stroke” of any player during his years coaching the Zephyrs. Centers scored 12 ppg as a junior on a section runner-up team.

Radon occurs naturally in Minnesota soils and is an odorless, colorless and tasteless radioactive gas. It is also the leading environmental cause of cancer deaths in the United States and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. More than 21,000 lung cancer deaths are attributed to radon each year in the U.S. Homeowners are encouraged to test homes and fix radon problems. About 2 in 5 Minnesota homes have dangerous levels of radon gas. The only way for residents to know if their home has radon is to test.

THE BEST CBD TINCTURE ON THE MARKET TODAY Have you been looking for the perfect way to consume hemp CBD (cannabidiol) oil?

Well look no further – now you can enjoy the fabulous benefits of a pure, top quality, organic hemp farm product, along with the optimum absorption and rapid metabolization benefits of a winning hybrid strain grown in Grants Pass Oregon.

The Siskiyou Sungrown organic MCT 500MG tincture allows you to uptake the CBD hemp oil, in an alcohol-free way. The oil which is resinous, is combined with organic MCT oil, so it is easy for you to absorb and metabolize quickly. You will also appreciate the addition of peppermint oil extract, as it is very refreshing and uplifting, and has well known antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, insecticidal and carminative properties.

Using MCT (medium chain triglycerides), AKA medium chain length fatty acid oil, is the most beneficial way to take CBD oil, because the cannabinoids easily and quickly interact with the body. That is why some people use MCT oil to help with brain function and energy.

Did you know that when Cannabinoids break down, because they are fat soluble, as opposed to water soluble, in order to increase absorption, they should be consumed with certain fats. Also, the combo of MCT and CBD oil can help our metabolism, and the more that the endocannabinoid system is balanced and regulated, studies have shown the better our metabolism becomes.

Our liver regards the MCT oils as carbohydrates, and as such, metabolizes the oil into energy instantaneously. As our liver still processes the oil as fat, it does not generate any free radical activity.

Also the super quick metabolism makes the cannabinoids go into action immediately, which is excellent news!

Taking the Siskiyou Sungrown MCT 500 Oil Tincture is simple: 1. Just put the amount of tincture you want to use underneath your tongue for 90 seconds. Or 2. Add the dose of CBD MCT oil to your favorite drink or food. (Putting it in salad dressing is popular too!)

Every 30 ml bottle of MCT 500 Oil Tincture boasts a whopping 500 mg of powerful CBD, and less than 0.3% THC. Siskiyou Sungrown’s products are all organically grown in full sun and native soil on their massive farm. This award-winning company was chosen by Nothing But Hemp because it strictly adheres to the principles of sustainability and organic farming, which means that their products are premium quality, and so they can have the maximum impact on the health of Nothing But Hemp’s customers..

Nothing But Hemp sells over 100 award-winning top quality CBD products in their stores. The prices are excellent, as the products are sourced directly, and not via a middle man, so the savings which are typically a whopping 50 to 70% less expensive than competitors with premium hemp products, are passed on to you, the customer. Nothing But Hemp stores can be found at: the Maplewood MALL 3001 White Bear Ave Maplewood Minnesota - (Next to Buckle inside the mall). 617 West lake Street, Minneapolis MN 55408. And at 143 Lake St N, Forest Lake, MN 55025.

Township streets earn report card

BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The township is looking to the future of its streets with a pavement management plan.

Township staff recently performed a study of the street system to determine the current condition of the roadways and feasible next steps. The Town Board approved the pavement management plan during its regular meeting on Jan. 7.

“As discussed in the pavement management booklet, performing the right improvement at the right time provides the best value to the citizens of White Bear Scott McCune Township by maximizing the longevity of the costly initial investment,” Town Engineer Larry Poppler wrote in a letter to the board.

Streets in the town are rated on a scale from 0 to 5, with 5 being the best. Pine Hill Lane, a new road, would be considered a 5. At 4, the street is in a good condition, but there is initial cracking. Streets rated at a 3 have structural cracking, such as Hobe Lane; and those rated at 2 have extensive cracking, such as O’Conners Alley.

A rating of 1 is street failure, as seen at Reed Place or Hoxie Avenue, and 0 is gravel or a fully-deteriorated road, such as Peterson Road.

The study found the overall average rate of town streets was 3.4, with the overall average rate goal between 3.4 and 3.6. Streets between 2.2 and 3.25 should be considered for mill and overlay, which replaces the Steve Ruzek top part of the pavement. Streets at or below 2.2 should be considered for reconstruction, which replaces the entire road, according to the report. About 11 miles, or 25 percent of the township streets, are at or below the 2.2 rating.

If nothing is done to a road 30 years or so after it’s been constructed, a reconstruction is generally required to return it to a rating of 5. However, if a road receives a sealcoat project after three or four years and another after eight years, with a mill and overlay project after 20 years and then another mill and overlay project after 40 years, the overall cost of maintaining the road is less expensive, Poppler said.

Crack sealing and sealcoating can extend a road life by seven to 13 years and marginally improve a street rating. A mill and overlay, where the top section of pavement is replaced, can extend the life of a road by 15 years and improve a rating by 0.75. Reclamation and reconstruction are more expensive options where the entire road is removed and replaced.

Based on the study, the town should be spending $2.2 million each year on reconstruction, rehabilitation, and mill and overlay projects. To catch up, more mileage should be done in the short term, Poppler said.

Funding would be done through tax levies, assessments, various funds or grants, cost splits, franchise fees or bonds. There would also be individual communication plans with residents affected by the various road projects.

The town board directed staff to research the feasibility of multiple road projects in 2019 to start determining which projects should be done fi rst and when. If improvements are not undertaken in the next five years, the average rating of the town’s streets will go to 2.93, Poppler said. If proposed projects are completed, the average rating would increase to 3.52.

In other news at the Jan. 7 meeting: • Returning Supervisor Steve Ruzek and new Supervisor Scott McCune were sworn in to the White Bear Town Board. Board member Ed Prudhon was appointed chair.

• The $12,757 purchase of new trash and recycling receptacles from Kay Park Recreation were approved; $7,382 will come from the park improvement fund and $5,375 will come from the SCORE fund. The program began a few years ago to replace damaged trash and recycling receptacles at the 25 town parks that have surface-mounted receptacles.

You’ve always said you wouldn’t be caught dead in that dress.

You’d better tell them now.

“CAPERNAUM (AKA CHAOS)” (NR) [SUBTITLED] — After a tenacious, street-savvy, bitter 12-year-old Lebanese boy (Zain Al Rafeea) runs away from his abusive, poverty-stricken parents (Kawthar Al Haddad and Fadi Kamel Youssef) in the slums of Beirut in the touching, factually-inspired, heartbreaking, gritty 30-minute film, he is befriended by a struggling, kindhearted Ethiopian cleaning woman (Yordanos Shiferaw), who has an infant son (Boluwatife Treasure Bankole) and ends up with a 5-year prison sentence for stabbing the manipulative shopkeeper husband (Nour El Husseini) of his innocent 11-year-old sister (Haita ‘Cedra’ Izzam) and sues his parents for bringing him into this hellish world.

January continues to defy the calendar with temperatures running nearly 10º warmer than normal. MSP airport has yet to fall below zero. I’ve recorded only two days below 0º, that being January 1 and 2. Despite the clouds this past weekend there was a lot of activity outside, especially on Sunday when we did manage a few rays of sun. Moderate winds and glare lake ice brought out the ice boats as well as a family of skaters, fishermen, walkers and even some guys with motorcycles (on ice). Last year at this time we were in the teens below. Will winter ever show? Hints are colder temperatures are on the way.

“COLD WAR” (R) [SOME SEXUAL CONTENT, NUDITY AND LANGUAGE] [SUBTITLED] — Stunning cinematography and striking music highlight Paweł Pawlikowski’s captivating, black-and-white, 85-minute historical film about the erratic love story of a musical conductor (Tomasz Kot) who falls in love with a beautiful Polish singer (Joanna Kulig) as he tries to form a folk singing and dancing ensemble along with a producer (Agata Kulesza) at a music school in Warsaw against the backdrop of Communist Poland in 1949 and when the folk troupe becomes more of a propaganda tool with the direction of the administrative manager (Borys Szyc), the couple makes plans to escape to West Berlin, but when she fails to show up at the rendezvous site, their tumultuous relationship becomes an off-and-on-again affair as they meet in Poland, Yugoslavia, Germany and France until 1964.

“A DOG’S WAY HOME” (PG) [THEMATIC ELEMENTS, SOME PERIL AND LANGUAGE] — After a case manager (Jonah Hauer-King), who works with his veteran mother (Ashley Judd ) and girlfriend (Alexandra Shipp) at the Denver VA hospital, takes his adorable, loyal dog (voiceover

by Bryce Dallas Howard) to New Mexico to protect her from a vindictive developer (Chris Bauer) and a mean-spirited animal control officer (John Cassini) in this heart-tugging, family-oriented, star-studded (Wes Studi, Barry Watson, and Patrick Gallagher) 102-minute film based on W. Bruce Cameron’s bestselling novel and highlighted by gorgeous cinematography and scenery, the tenacious mutt spends 2 ½ years on a dangerous 400-mile journey to return home and along the way befriends a mountain lion cub, saves a man who was buried in an avalanche, runs into hungry coyotes and stays with a lonely homeless man (Edward James Olmos).

“STAN & OLLIE” (PG) [SOME LANGUAGE, AND FOR SMOKING] — After a falling out in 1937 in Culver City, Californina, when his creative partner Stan Laurel (Steve Coogan) is fired by the studio owner (Danny Huston) over a salary dispute in this riveting, = pratfall, 97-minute biographical comedic drama dominated by amazing acting, sets, costumes and makeup, legendary comedian Oliver Hardy (John C. Reilly) goes on to make films without his longtime partner and sixteen years later the iconic comedy team reconnect to try to revive their stagnant careers by going on a tour run by a slick British booking agent (Rufus Jones) of music halls throughout Great Britain in 1953 with the support of their wives (Shirley Henderson and Nina Arianda) who eventually visit them while crisscrossing the United Kingdom.
