Wind riders

New group encourages residents to ‘Buy Nothing’

Launched in 2013 by two friends in Washington, the Buy Nothing Project started as a way for neighbors to share and exchange items without money exchanging hands. It has since grown to over 1.2 million participants in at least 25 countries. Now, Vadnais Heights residents can count themselves in, thanks to a new group established just for them.

Like the original Buy Nothing Project, its Vadnais Heights spinoff was also started by two friends, Kate Lightner and Jenn Cheeseman. It is a simple idea with big potential—to push back against consumerism while fostering connections amongst neighbors.

“Have you ever asked a neighbor for a cup of sugar or an egg when you were baking? Maybe a neighbor plowed your driveway this winter or you gave someone a ride. These are all examples of how we share our abundance in our daily lives with our neighbors,” Lightner said.

“The Buy Nothing Project encourages us to do the same with a larger network of people within our community.”

Most Buy Nothing Project groups operate through Facebook groups, where members can post to ask for particular goods and services or offer their own. Inspired by the now global movement ethos SEE BUY NOTHING, PAGE 13

Area law enforcement officers travel to DC for inauguration

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

The Washington County Sheriff's Office (WCSO), Anoka County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) and the Blaine Police Department (BPD) were just some of the 2,500 to 3,000 officers from around the country who traveled to Washington, D.C. to assist with the inauguration.

Bill Jacobson is a detective with the ACSO assigned to the Criminal Investigations Division. He previously served on the Centennial Lakes Police Department for 14 years.

“Being a part of the detail that helped protect Wash-

ington, D.C., was an absolute honor. I am so grateful that ACSO trusted me with such an important mission. It’s an opportunity I never thought I’d have in law enforcement,” Jacobson said.

The selection process for the security detail began more than a year ago. ACSO sent 25 deputies, WCSO sent 19 deputies and BPD sent 14 officers.

Cmdr. Kyle Schenck said WCSO also attended the inauguration back in 2017. The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office did not send any deputies to Washington, D.C. In a typical year, one of the days in the nation’s capital

would be reserved for on-site training. This year, because of the pandemic most of the training took place ahead of time online.

“We were subjected to additional screening and had to complete training for carrying a firearm on an airplane, what things to look for in the secure area around the capital that should warrant more attention, proper use of force procedures when the presidential motorcade was in the area, and a number of other training items that were specific to our assignment,” Jacobson explained.

Grants available for water management projects

Local musician launches livestream concert series

White Bear Area Chamber challenges Walz’s clean car rules

Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District is accepting applications for its 2021 Stewardship Grants. Funding provides substantial support to those seeking to filter and reduce runoff, prevent flooding, protect groundwater, restore native ecosystems and lessen the effects of drought on their properties. Residents, businesses, churches and property owners within district boundaries are eligible to apply for 50-100% project reimbursement, or up to $15,000 for residential and $100,000 for commercial or public properties. Common examples of covered Stewardship Grant projects include: raingardens, native landscaping, shoreline restoration and pervious pavement. For more information or to apply, visit rwmwd.org/get-involved/stewardship-grants.

“The Church of Lost Souls,” a new Parkway Theater concert series featuring White Bear Lake resident Billy McLaughlin, members of SimpleGifts and other well-known artists, will launch via livestream on Valentine's Day and run for 12 consecutive Sundays through May 2. Weekly performances will be followed by a special Q&A with Billy and the guest artists. Anyone can watch the livestream performances on a “pay-what-you-can” basis; limited in-house ticketed seating is also available beginning Jan. 22. For the lineup of performances or to buy tickets, go to theparkwaytheater.com.

Gov. Tim Walz has instructed the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to pursue the adoption of California’s vehicle emission standards. California’s standards for low-emission vehicles and zero-emission vehicles, which respectively require auto manufacturers to create cars that pollute less and to provide more electric, plug-in hybrid or hydrogen-powered cars for sale.

However, those efforts are being challenged by some local groups, including the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce and the Minnesota Automobile Dealers Association (MADA). “Pursuing this rule-making process would take away the ability of Minnesota legislators to decide what is best for Minnesota, and give the decision-making power to a board of unelected bureaucrats in California,” Chamber Executive Director Shari Wilson said in a statement. “Adoption of these standards would not only harm our dealer members, but anyone who buys a new vehicle in Minnesota.”

Make an appointment for tax help AARP TaxAide Services will be available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (except for April 1) from Feb. 15 through April 15 at South Shore Trinity Lutheran Church, 2480 South Shore Blvd., White Bear Lake.

Save the date for lake cleanup The 18th annual White Bear Lake Late Winter Ice Cleanup Day is scheduled for Saturday, March 6. Volunteers are needed to pick up trash off the frozen lake before the ice melts. There is no central gathering spot this year; instead, volunteers and groups are asked to bring their own garbage bags to pick a part of the lake they want to clean up. Due to COVID-19, the free lunch usually provided by the VFW will be back in 2022. Volunteers and groups can register in advance by contacting Jim Schuster at 651-269-0976 or jschust64@gmail.com.

Indianapolis firm buys Deluxe Corporation property Scannell Properties, based in Indianapolis, has purchased Deluxe Corporation’s Shoreview campus with plans to convert it into a mixed-use development. In September, Deluxe announced plans to relocate its headquarters to downtown Minneapolis after more than 30 years in Shoreview.

Violence at the Capitol

AN. 6 WAS a terrible day when domestic violence broke in our nation’s capital. There were five deaths, property damage, security breaches, and our democracy was threatened.

The insurrection appears organized by people not only angry over the election process and results, but with the misguided belief their violence could change the election results.

They stormed the Capitol, which was sparsely guarded and had inadequate security.

Arrests have begun and About the continuing investigations are helping identify groups and Town organizations behind the riot.

The insurrection, the postGene Johnson election false claims of a “stolen election,” as well as this summer’s social unrest, once again demonstrates social media often is not a very reliable source of information.

Social media is different from mainstream media like TV news, national newspapers and community papers like the Press, which operate under libel laws.

However, social media companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter, etc. are not liable for their content. This includes the tweets and posts by users on their platforms. U.S. Code Title 47, Section 230, passed in the 1990s, gave internet platforms this protection so these companies have their own rules and regulations.

The intent of Section 230 is “to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that presently exists for the internet and other interactive computer services, unfettered by Federal and State regulation” and “to ensure vigorous enforcement of Federal criminal laws to deter and punish trafficking in obscenity, stalking, and harassment by means of computer.” It also provides protection in that, “No provider or user of any interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” Under civil liability it provides that, “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected.”

Congress may need to update Section 230 in light of the increasing amount of messages promoting hatred and violence. Further, faced with the rampant amount of intentional misinformation and spread of irrational conspiracy theories, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, have a critical decision to make. Are they merely platforms that allow people to say anything they wish; no matter how outrageous, hateful, or violent? Or, do they want news and reliable information to be part of their business model.

They can’t be both.

We need to pray to God to assist in healing our country from the violence and selfish motivation of the recent past and act civil to each other.

Congress needs to remember they represent and serve the American people. The people chose not to re-elect Trump and chose Biden.

We now have a new President, Joe Biden, and Vice President, Kamala Harris. They need our prayers and support to bring this nation out of political turmoil and hate. Challenges ahead include: COVID-19 vaccinations, immigration, getting children back into the classrooms, getting people back to active employment, and racial justice.

The First Amendment right to protest has limits

W

e often use our free speech rights at the top of our lungs and in public spaces to protest loudly, proudly and prominently.

When we do that, the First Amendment protects us from government punishment or censorship for what we say or write, particularly on matters of politics and public affairs — generally. Still, not everything we say or do because of such speech is protected.

Over decades, legal guardrails have been set up that indicate where our free speech rights end and where government may be able to step in to penalize speakers or prevent protests and demonstrations.

Those guardrails are deliberately limited.

Let’s start by Movers & noting the First Amendment offers Shakers no legal shield from criminal Gene Policinski prosecution for violent acts, iindividually di id ll or as part of a mob, regardless of the cause we might promote or a political position we take. Violence is a crime.

Our free speech rights also do not protect incitement to imminent violence. The key here is a connection to an immediate threat to public safety. In a 1969 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court said there is no First Amendment protection for speech that is “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to produce such action.”

A speaker who demeans a group of people to a crowd, and then points to someone and shouts “There’s one now, go get ’em!” steps outside of free speech protection.

But when the violence takes place sometime later, or elsewhere, or the words are not so direct, prosecutors may find it difficult to establish such a direct link.

The courts also have debated whether criminal charges around incitement can be brought for what is called “instructional speech” — for example, producing written materials advising on plans or offering tips to a group planning violent acts.

In November, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a lower court to again hear a case involving DeRay Mckesson, a Black Lives Matter organizer who was sued by a Baton Rouge, La., police officer injured at a protest Mckesson organized in 2016. The lawsuit ultimately could have dramatic dampening impact on public protest if the courts decide organizers can be held personally liable for violence by anyone at an event, under the theory that organizers should have known it was a likely outcome.

Courts ruled during the antiwar protests in the 1960s and later that authorities cannot block or disperse protesters just because authorities have an unspecified concern about potential disorder, or because demonstrators are loud or offensive, or even if they temporarily disrupt traffic.

In 2011, the Supreme Court upheld the right to public protest on matters of public interest in a case involving a family-based Kansas church known for its controversial

anti-gay protests at military funerals.

The Westboro Baptist Church was sued by the parents of a U.S. Marine who died in Iraq, claiming intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that such protest was protected by the First Amendment: “Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and — as it did here — inflict great pain … we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker. As a nation we have chosen a different course — to protect even hurtful speech on public issues to ensure that we do not stifle public debate.”

At times, authorities seek to simply ban all public events. In dealing with the pandemic, local and state officials nationwide have placed limits or banned a variety of group events, protests and religious services. Health officials cite a 1905 Supreme Court ruling that upheld the government’s quarantine (and vaccination) powers.

A guiding principle in the nation’s history is that government at any level can only infringe on our First Amendments rights by showing an overriding need, such as an immediate threat to public safety, and then only in ways that are the least possible intrusion for the shortest time required to meet the need.

We need to be alert and demand that authorities balance public safety and First Amendment rights in the upcoming days and weeks. The core freedoms that protect us cannot be left unprotected by us.

Gene Policinski is a senior fellow for the First Amendment at the Freedom Forum.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Three Ingredient Cookies

t takes me a while after Christmas to want to bake any kind of cookie. Sticks of carrots and celery are my new snack favs until Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve forgotten the number of calories I consumed over the holidays.

If I do bake a cookie, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be very different from a Christmas cookie.

Something easy but big on simple flavors like vanilla, almond, or peanut butter. No frosting, cherries, ginger, or anything with powdered sugar.

Every day at about 3 Wild p.m. a switch goes off in my brain that triggers Chow my feet to head to the kitchen. Nothing special, Lisa Erickson I tell myself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just something with a little peanut butter and a cup of teaâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like that makes it more reasonable. Something to tide me over until dinner. Plus, carrots and celery taste horrible with tea!

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eat peanut butter on just about anything, but my favorite way is in a peanut butter cookie. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t peanut butter healthy?

Nutter Butters and Girl Scout Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies are my kryptonite. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eat the whole package and not feel guilty.

5

In a pinch, when there are no boxed peanut butter cookies around, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make these super easy three-ingredient cookies.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a warm fresh-baked cookie in my hand in less than 20 minutes.

So I feel less like a cookie monster, I will make these into little â&#x20AC;&#x153;buttonsâ&#x20AC;? instead of full-size cookies. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel as guilty and I can eat more than one. Weirdly, that feels more satisfying.

Come February 1, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have forgotten about my health kick and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back to my regular scheduled treats. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have chocolate on the brain because Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is coming.

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies 1 cup peanut butter (I use unsweetened crunchy) 1 cup brown sugar 1 egg Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl, mix peanut butter and sugar. Add the egg and mix until combined. Roll dough into 1-inch size balls and place on cookie sheet. flatten slightly with your finger and poke 4 holes into the top like a button. Bake for 18 minutes. Cool on a baking rack. Store in an air-tight container.

Support for budget Covid-19 has been devastating to many in our community: small businesses, residents and staff of senior living facilities, care providers, people laid off from their jobs, students and parents navigating distance learning, and many more. The disparities that were already there are now more obvious than ever. Now is the time to

provide the resources people need to recover from loss of business, health crisis, unemployment, and address the disparities. I support Governor Walz's budget because I think it will give us the means to reduce our disparities and create an economy where all of us will thrive.

We experienced our coldest and ďŹ rst below-zero temperatures of the new year. We dipped below zero on the morning of Friday, January 22 while the airport remained above zero. It was only the 4th time we've fallen below zero this season. Saturday's snowfall ranged from 3-4 inches and was about half the water content of our January 14-15 snowfall and was much easier to shovel. Ground Hog Day is next week and with the winter we've had, odds are he won't see his shadow and our mild winter will continue. Sun now setting past 5 pm for the drive home!

Shoreview man charged in shooting incident involving police squad, station A 51-year-old man from Shoreview has been charged after he allegedly shot out the window of a squad vehicle parked at a police station.

The Anoka County Attorney's Office has charged Donald Raymond Guse with five counts, which include: drive-by shooting, reckless discharge of a firearm within a municipality, fleeing police in a motor vehicle, second-degree driving while impaired and first-degree criminal damage to property.

According to the criminal complaint, at 7:09 p.m. Jan. 10, officers from the Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) were inside the station in Circle Pines

when they heard what was thought to be a gunshot outside.

Officers went outside to check the area and observed that a bullet had been fired into the driver's side window of one of the squad cars parked next to the building. The projectile that hit the window ricocheted from the squad car to the glass door of the building, causing it to shatter.

The criminal complaint states that officers went back inside to review surveillance video from the exterior of the building, which showed a white Chevrolet pickup stopping on North Road, and the occupant appearing to fire a round at the building. A short time

later, a pickup matching the description of the one on video was located nearby.

Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but it fled the scene. The complaint states the officers quickly found the vehicle, which had turned onto a nearby drive. Guse was identified as the driver.

Guse was interviewed by police and ultimately admitted firing the gun at the squad car. According to the criminal complaint, he stated that he stopped his vehicle on the roadway, lined up the shot through the open passenger window, and fired. He said he was trying to shoot the tire of the squad car. The motive of the shooting is still unclear.

Guse has a prior DWI conviction from March 2018 in Anoka County. Guse appeared in Anoka County District Court Jan. 12 and Judge Thomas Fitzpatrick set bail at $400,000 without conditions or $200,000 with conditions (no use/possession of firearms and no use of mood-altering chemicals). Guse's next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 8.

The most serious charge, drive-by shooting, carries a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison and/or up to a $20,000 fine.

Rose Marie (nee Polga) Bayuk, Age 105, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, a decorated World War II veteran, died January 7, at Good Samaritan Society, Stillwater, after a brief illness, two months after the City of White Bear Lake commemorated her 105th birthday with a massive vehicular parade, which she saluted curbside from her White Bear home. She was one of ten children of Peter Polga (originally Polce) and Theresa Maria (nee Montanaro) Polga, both immigrants from adjoining villages of Santa Croce and Pietramelara in Caserta Province, Italy. Rose was born November 2, 1915 on her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homestead near the village of Greaney, Minnesota. She was the last survivor among her siblings, and is survived by her son Mark, nieces and nephews and goddaughters, and at least three further generations of grand, great grand, and great great grand nieces and nephews.

When Rose was still an infant, the family moved to Buhl, Minnesota, allowing Rose to proudly proclaim herself, as she did throughout her long life: A Mesabi Iron Ranger. After graduating from Buhlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Martin Hughes High School in 1933, she studied at nearby Virginia (Minnesota) Junior College before commencing training as a nurse at the Kahler Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Nursing, an affiliate of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She graduated as an RN in 1938, ranking second in her class. Both the Mayo Brothers (William and Charles) signed her diploma.

Rose then returned home to Buhl and a position at the new Virginia Hospital. Two years later, she took a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice and traveled by car to California and took a position at the Glendale Research Hospital, where she stayed until returning to Buhl after the Pearl Harbor bombing. On November 3, 1942, Rose and her sister Patricia enlisted together in the Army Nurse Corps. Her first duty station was the converted British liner Queen Elizabeth; followed by serving primarily as a Ward Charge Nurse (in a complement of 35 nurses) aboard the USAHS Thistle, a 455-bed converted cargo and passenger ship, Army controlled, but Merchant Marine commanded and operated. During Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour of duty, the Thistle made 11 transatlantic round trips.

After the European War ended, the ship deployed via the Panama Canal to the Philippines, where it provided hospital services until returning to the United States long after V-J Day. 1st Lt Rose Bayukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wartime awards and decorations include: American Campaign Medal; European-African-Middle East Campaign Medal with 3 stars (Southern France, Rhineland, and Rome-Arno Campaigns); Asia-Pacific Campaign Medal with 4 Overseas Bars; World War II Victory Medal. (Most recently in 2020, the National World War II Museum in New Orleans selected Rose to receive its Silver Service Medallion, the first nurse to receive this award.

The pandemic forced postponement of the ceremony until 2021, and the Museum will now confer the honor posthumously.)

Following her discharge on March 21, 1946, she returned to Buhl and renewed her prewar acquaintance with Edward Bayuk, then City Clerk of Eveleth, also an Army veteran. They were married in 1947 in Wayzata, Minnesota, where he was the City Manager. They then lived some years in Highland Park in St. Paul before moving to White Bear Lake in 1955, where Edward

Ardis Jane Wagner (Dexheimer)

February 27, 1949 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 19, 2021 Age 71 of White Bear Lake. Ardis Wagner passed away on January 19 in Maplewood, Minnesota.

Ardis is survived by her husband, Wayne Wagner; their children, Corey (Carolyn), Pete (Shelly) and Joy Harper (Wayne); siblings Melvin Dexheimer (Diane Yaeger) and Sandy (Steve) Goodson. Ardis has 9 grandchildren who she loved very much (Travis, P.J., Victoria, Grayson, Lily, Clarissa, Helena, Katelynn and Daryn). She married Wayne in 1969.

No memorial service or funeral is planned. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to donorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice.

served as City Manager.

He died in 1999.

Rose had no problem finding postwar employment. As she liked to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never ever had to look for a job. People always came searching for me.â&#x20AC;?

She was the office nurse for White Bear Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dr. Robert Reif for 15 years; then she served another 15 years as both Nursing Home Director and Director of Nurses at the North St Paul Nursing Home. She always offered this counsel to nurses: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going into this profession to help people. Have a positive attitude. Approach patients with a smile and explain what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there to do. Use your personality to make them comfortable.â&#x20AC;? And Rose definitely had personality! Rose always enjoyed meeting new people. Her last job--in her 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s--was as a Greeter at Tousley Ford Auto Sales in White Bear Lake. She was indeed extremely active and social, seeking to host one informal lunch, and one formal dinner for four to six persons each week at her home through age 104.

The guests ranged from close relatives, neighbors new and old, friends from China, circus aerialists, pilates instructors, to retired U S Foreign Service Officers, all of whom remained her friends thereafter. Rose selected the menu, set the table, cooked the dinner and hosted the event. She would allow her son Mark to serve the meal and wash the dishes. As Mark describes the event, Mom would have the menu chosen and the table set one or two days in advance. And every dinner setting was a different theme. Mom always said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Presentation is the most important part of a dinner. The guests may not remember what they were served but they will assuredly remember how well it was presented.â&#x20AC;? In 1989 she hosted a reunion of those who served together aboard the hospital ship Thistle from its commissioning to the end of war.

Rose led, in her firm but kindly way, many, many groups (including twice President of the White Bear Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club) playing bridge in three monthly bridge groups through to 104, and chaired innumerable charity drives. Blood donors could meet her as volunteer nurse at a Red Cross Bloodmobile site, and others would see her during the Minnesota State Fair volunteering at the Emergency Care Booth in the 4-H Building. In her 100â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s she started going to the White Bear YMCA two times a week to work out on a NuStep cross trainer. There she found a new group of much, much, younger friends who she joined for coffee after her workouts. She always said her secret to a long life was: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Observe, read, plan and organize. Be interested in people all the time.â&#x20AC;? Rose repeatedly and selflessly visited those who were ill, in need, or dying; encouraging them, bringing them something special to eat, taking care of them, advising them, and of course telling their caregivers how to best manage their care of them. Rose was always there for you. Rose often verbally expressed the theme by which she lived: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I serve others before I serve myself.â&#x20AC;? And that is exactly what she did.

When unrestricted gatherings are again permitted, Rose will have a funeral service at St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of The Lake in White Bear Lake and will be interred at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, or the Military Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial in Arlington, Virginia.

Rolland C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rollieâ&#x20AC;? Fasching Age 81 of Wyoming Formerly of White Bear Lake Passed away peacefully on January 23, 2021. Preceded in death by parents, Carl & Lenore; son Curt; brother, Jerome; sister, JoAnn Fritz.

Survived by son, Troy (Julie); sister, Rosemary Patten; grandson, Andrew (Molly), great grandchildren, Hayli & Henry; many nieces, nephews, and many great friends.

Rollie was born May 13, 1939 in Graceville, Minnesota and grew up in White Bear Lake. He then entered the U.S Navy in 1956 and was a navigator/bombardier aboard a A-3D â&#x20AC;&#x153;skywarriorâ&#x20AC;?, a jet powered strategic bomber based at Whidbey Island, WA, for which he was very proud of. Rollie was united in marriage to Bonita Johnson on October 13, 1962 , to this they had two sons, Curt & Troy. Rollie especially enjoyed outdoors, hunting & fishing but his true passion was golfing, a sport he loved very much.

A celebration of Rollieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at a later date.

Pollinator license plate unveiled Minnesota Department of Natural Resources unveiled the design of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest critical habitat license plate, which features native pollinators including a bee and butterflies. The new license plate is available now online at dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/Pages/vehicle-registration and at deputy registrar and driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license offices statewide.

There is no need to wait for current license plate tabs to expire, as the license fee is prorated when a critical habitat license plate is purchased. The $30 annual contribution to the Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Critical Habitat Program helps to preserve important wildlife habitat and plant communities such as wetlands, prairies, old growth forests and endangered orchid sites.

The winning license plate design by artist Timothy Turenne depicts the monarch butterfly, Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state butterfly and rusty patched bumble bee, recently designated as the state bee.

The DNR supports native pollinators by restoring and managing the ecosystems and plant communities they rely on for food. For example, restoration and management activities on DNR-administered lands provide approximately 1.1 million acres of habitat in the northern conservation core for monarch butterflies. More information about Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pollinators is available online at www.dnr. state.mn.us/pollinators/index. html.

Township Board will continue virtual meetings

BY CYNTHIA SOWDEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — After trying the internet application for a couple of meetings, the White Bear Township Board voted Jan. 20 to continue meeting via Zoom for the foreseeable future.

Attorney Chad Lemmon pointed out, “It’s still an open public meeting, and people have a right to listen and participate. They can do that via Zoom.”

To comply with Minnesota meeting laws, at least one board member must be present in the meeting hall. Town

Clerk Patrick Christopherson will also be present.

Earlier in 2020, the board tried meeting over the telephone, but abandoned that strategy because they found it difficult to take votes.

More recent meetings were socially distanced at Heritage Hall. However, constituent participation was limited because of increased space requirements.

To access Town Board meetings, go to ci.white-bear-township.mn.us/ AgendaCenter. Click on the agenda for the appropriate meeting to get the Zoom meeting call-in number and access code.

DNR offers tips for safe, successful ice fishing season If you see someone fall through, remain calm and call 911. Do not attempt a rescue unless there is a means of self-rescue. Throw the person any piece of buoyant gear available, as well as a rope, jumper cables or other object to pull them out of the water or away from thin ice. Let go if they start pulling you toward dangerous ice.

In addition:

• Do not go onto private property without permission.

• Carry ice picks, rope, an ice chisel and tape measure.

• Check ice thickness at regular intervals; conditions can change quickly.

Following are some things for all ice anglers to keep in mind to be a positive member of the ice fi shing community: • Pick up after yourself. Anything but an impression left on the ice is litter.

• Maintain a social distance of at least 6 feet from members of other households at public access sites and on the ice. If the access is full, try another lake or try again at a less-busy time.

• Bring a cell phone or personal locator beacon.

• Minimize noise and keep a respectful distance from other anglers.

• Don’t go out alone; tell someone about trip plans and expected return time.

For more information on staying safe on the ice, visit dnr.state. mn.us/safety/ice.

• Before heading out, inquire about conditions and known hazards with local experts.

OFFICERS IN DC: ‘Once in a lifetime opportunity’ FROM PAGE 1

With the kickoff of the ice fi shing season, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reminds new and veteran anglers alike of their responsibility to keep themselves safe and to be a considerate member of the ice angling community.

The recommended minimum thickness for walking on new, clear ice is 4 inches. Wait for 5 to 7 inches before heading out on an ATV or snowmobile, and keep cars off until there’s 8 to 12 inches. Anyone planning to drive out in a truck should wait until there’s at least 12 to 15 inches of ice. Double these minimums for white or snow-covered ice.

• Wear a life jacket or float coat on the ice (except when in a vehicle).

Awesome rates!

Our superpower!

BPD Captain Mark Boerboom added, “We were deputized as Metro D.C. special deputies, so we had to follow their policies, know the procedures for a presidential motorcade, and what to expect if the unexpected happens. There is a lot of information, working here in Blaine, that we don't get exposed to. Obviously, we don't have a presidential motorcade coming through our city on a regular basis, so we had to learn about how they operate and what to do if something if does happen.”

Inauguration day was a long day for the officers.

“Our team was up by 2 a.m. to begin getting our uniforms ready. We reported for duty at 3 a.m. at the hotel and we were bused to our assigned post along Pennsylvania Avenue, which was inside the secure zone,” Jacobson recalled. “Our job was to watch for suspicious people, items, or activity in the secure zone. We were also available to be deployed to any concerns in our immediate area.”

Thankfully, the day was “uneventful,” he said.

“Given the events of Jan. 6, there was significant concern for the potential for more violence. We were prepared to address any issues, but we all hoped the day would end up being exactly what it was: a peaceful transition of power,” Jacobson said.

Boerboom added, “We stood along a perimeter fenceline to protect the roadway from any spectators … Even though there weren't spectators, we knew that each of us were there

doing a crucial role making sure that nothing happened that day that would hiccup the inauguration.” He said the highlight was when the presidential motorcade traveled by on its way to the Capitol.

Schenck added, “I don't want to sound corny but it was an honor to go out there. Our post was fortunate enough to have the capitol building as our backdrop.”

Jacobson said he will never forget the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“The peaceful transition of power is one of the cornerstones of our great nation. Joining tens of thousands of officers, deputies and soldiers from across the country to protect and defend that foundation is what it means to serve and protect.”

“We want to nurture our local community by including all those who would like to join … We challenge residents to share (their) abundance and build stronger connections within our community.”

For more information about the Buy Nothing Project, visit www.buynothingproject.com. The Vadnais Heights group can be found by searching “Buy Nothing Vadnais Heights MN” on Facebook.

Though it is only open to residents of that community, Lightner and Cheeseman say residents of other communities should not despair—there are more than 70 groups in Minnesota, so there is a good chance your community is covered.

of community and anticonsumerism, Lightner and Cheeseman decided to start a group focused on their own city.

“Kate and I had both been individually contemplating starting a local group after searching and finding none existed for Vadnais Heights,” Cheeseman said. “She invited me to join her in the training and co-admin with her. We both feel there is space for us to connect as a community and another when we all give from our own abundance.”

The Buy Nothing Project is distinct from Facebook buy and sell groups, Lightner and Cheeseman said, especially because no money is involved. “People often take their time choosing someone to gift, which may include a narrative about the ‘stuff’ and natural conversations between each other,” Lightner said. “The true value is in the human connection.”

Though the Vadnais Heights group is new, it is already active and growing by the day.

“We opened the group on Jan. 16 and as of today (Jan. 20), we have over 85 members,” Cheeseman said. “The group has already shared many things in its first few days, including children's mittens, fine china, birthday decorations, games, a laminator, sourdough starter and more. We look forward to seeing the connections grow between members of our Vadnais Heights community.”

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced people into isolation for nearly a year, Cheeseman says that the connection the Buy Nothing Project brings is much-needed and much-welcomed.

“Now, more than ever, people need to feel connected to their neighbors. The benefits that a local BNP group provide go beyond the sharing of

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Mahtomedi City Council at its Jan. 19 meeting took the following action: • Unanimously (4-0, as Council Member Steve Wolgamot was absent) passed a resolution authorizing a one-time waiver of 2021 on-sale liquor license fees for existing businesses due to the COVID-19 health pandemic restrictions.

Only existing holders of on-sale intoxicating liquor permits are eligible, and any new liquor license applicants will pay a prorated portion of the full fee if they enter the liquor arena during the year. “Last year was tough on bars and restaurants all over. They were limited to basically take-out most of time and can now operate at 50% capacity,” City Administrator Scott Neilson said. “I'm very supportive of this, and hopefully we'll not be dealing with this next year,” Council Member Jane Schneeweis said.

• Following a public hearing, passed a resolution ordering a public improvement project — the city’s 2021 street improvement project. Council also authorized preparation of fi nal plans and specifications, the advertisement for bids and preparation of the preliminary proposed assessment roll for pending assessment hearing purposes. The project will involve 18 streets in the Historic District to the east of Mahtomedi Avenue, as well as streets to the south of Wildwood Road. Improvements will also be made to trails along Wedgewood Drive from Wildwood Road to Woodland Drive and on the Streetcar Trail from Juniper Street to Maple Street.

Bids will be opened and the project awarded in February. The estimated cost of the project is $1.25 million. Project funding will come from street improvement funds, the city of Willernie, water utility funds, sanitary and storm sewer funds and from assessments on adjacent properties. Single-family properties will be assessed either $2,246 per unit (a majority of streets on the project) or $5,310 per unit, depending on the extent of the work. The assessment hearing will be held in the fall, after the project is complete.

“There are a lot of projects on the list, and they will defi nitely get done this year,” City Engineer Nick Guilliams said.

• Approved an amendment to Section 11.01, Subd.

10.4 to alter the screening requirements imposed on trash containers to which the public has access. Because a planned organic trash curbside pickup program did not materialize, the Environment Committee started an organic trash drop-off program, Council Member Jeff Ledermann said. However, the existing ordinance requiring a substantial screen on all four sides of trash receptacles makes it difficult for

residents dropping off trash to access the organics recycling station containers. The Planning Commission reviewed the amendment proposal and determined that the change would be a public benefit and agreed that containers used by the public be exempted from the standard screening requirements.

• Approved an ordinance amending Mahtomedi City Code, Chapter 12, Section 12.04 related to diseased and nuisance trees. “With the entrance of new invasive species, it became apparent that the ordinance was outdated with respect to the new diseases,” Tree Inspector/ City Forester Steve Schumacher said. The changes grant the city forester the authority to require treatment by spraying or injecting infectious trees by the tree owner. Other changes pertain to city right of way regulations; the city forester's responsibilities for notification, the city's ability to assess property owners for abatement, the defi nition of hazardous trees, and the addition of the Latin name for oak wilt.

Hazardous trees are those determined to have the U. S. Department of Agriculture's disease defi nition of emerald ash borer, Dutch elm, oak wilt, pine bark beetle and gypsy moth. The Environment Commission reviewed the ordinance and approved the changes.

Watershed District and Minnesota Routine Assessment Methodology (MNRAM) standards for wetland classes. Mahtomedi has 161 individual wetlands throughout the city.

• Conveyed best wishes to Council Member Wolgamot as he battles health concerns.

The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 2, via videoconference and not quite yet at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

CATCH OF THE

WEEK

• Approved a request from the property owners at 881 Deer Oak Run for a variance that would allow for a reduction in the rear yard setback requirement for the purpose of constructing a screened porch. The approved setback is about 3 feet less than the 40-foot rear yard setback required for screened porches. Due to the presence of a roof, setback requirements are different for screened porches than they are for decks. At its last meeting, the Planning Commission voted unanimously for approval, stating that the request was reasonable.

• Approved an authorization request from WSB to provide support services to complete the city's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Part II application for reauthorization for the 2020 MS4 permit. The proposed fee for the support services is $8,228.

• Acknowledged completion of the probationary period for fi refi ghter/EMT Aurelia Williams and her job promotion to paid, on-call status.

Her promotion is not expected to impact the budget.

• Accepted the Wetland Classification Report. In September, council approved the preparation of a wetland classification report for all wetlands in the city to be consistent with Valley Branch

Greta Schimnowski leads a fast break against North, trailed by teammate Ella Hronski (10).

Dimitri Hatzis of White Bear Lake (above) eventually pinned his Tartan opponent on Saturday, during a week where the Bear wrestlers lost four matches. The Bears fell to Tartan 45-30 and St. Thomas Academy 58-15 on Saturday, and to Irondale/Spring Lake Park 63-12 and Simley (top-ranked in Class 2A) 81-0 on Thursday.

Mahtomedi scored the first 22 points of the game and went on to defeat North St. Paul 73-23 at home last Tuesday evening, then thumped Hastings 75-33 there Thursday. The Zephyrs are 3-0 and averaging 72 points. “We have five girls averaging double digits, and our high scorer can change game to game with any of our players,” noted coach Erica Zizzo. “We are playing very unselfish, team basketball and we take pride in our defense.” Fourteen players scored against North, led by Greta Schimnowski with 19 points. Ella Hronski sank 10 and Zoie Centers and Zoey Washington nine each. Against Hastings, Sonya Potthoff led with 18 points.

Schimnowski added 12, Hronski 11, Centers 10 and Washington nine. The Zephyrs’ three foes have a combined 0-7 record. They hosted Hill-Murray (3-1) on Tuesday.

WHITE BEAR LAKE SPORTS BRIEFS White Bear icemen (3-1) fall to Raiders, nip Park 3-2 White Bear Lake boys hockey was jolted from the unbeaten ranks by Cretin-Derham Hall 7-1 last Thursday, and the Bears (3-1) rebounded to beat East Ridge 3-2 Saturday, both road games.

No. 9 ranked Cretin-Derham Hall (4-0) got two goals each from Jake Fisher and Chuck Altier against the Bears. The Raiders ripped four goals in the third period. Joey Frattalone scored for the Bears.

“Cretin has a lot of varsity returning players. We get another chance to play them later in the season,” Bear coach Tim Sager said. “They have a lot of speedy forwards that can score.”

Against East Ridge, the Bears took 3-0 lead in the first 11 minutes with Ethan Moerke, Tyler McKenzie and Anthony Brooks scoring. Aiden Welch made two assists. Torin Larson made 31 saves in his first varsity start. The Bears killed five of six power plays by Raptors (2-1).

Caden Nienow (power play) and Jackson Knutsen scored for them.

“We had a very quick start,” Sager said. “We could have stretched the lead even farther but we couldn't capitalize on the power play.”

Bear girl skaters lose to CDH 4-2 White Bear Lake girls hockey lost to Cretin-Derham Hall 4-2 in their lone game last week, Tuesday evening. The Raiders outshot the Bears 54-19 and got all four goals in the second period.

Scoring for the Bears (0-2) were Ellie Sarauer in the first period, assisted by Maren Schoeberl, and Abby Broz on a power play in the third period. Maya Marston in goal stopped 50 of 54 shots.

Lilly Geist had two goals for CDH.

White Bear Lake boys basketball has a 1-2 mark after losing a pair of conference games last week, to Mounds View 75-59 on Wednesday evening and Park 66-62 on Friday evening, both on the road. Against Mounds View, Jack Janicki tallied 23 points. Kanye Raheem 12, and Alex Lockwood and Jack Misgen 11 each. The Mustangs (3-0) had Evan Kim with 25 points and Dylan Wheeler with 20. Against Park, scoring 14 points each were Raheem, Janicki and Misgen.

Leading Park (2-1) were Pharel Payne with 22 points and Brayden Fick with 15.

Neveah Hughes, White Bear Lake basketball forward, scored 13 points in 78-63 over Irondale, 13 in a 46-30 over Mounds View, and 15 in a 48-45 win over Hastings. The 6-foot junior is averaging 14 points, 11 rebounds and three steals. She averaged 7.5 points last year. Hughes was named one of the top 50 players in Class 4A entering the season. “She is just getting started,” coach Jeremy Post said. “I expect those numbers to get better and better. She can guard anyone on the floor, and is learning to play multiple positions.”

Get lost in Stillwater’s massive ice maze

BY ELIZABETH CALLEN SHOREVIEW EDITOR

For the rest of the winter, Stillwater will be home to what is said to be the largest ice maze in the country.

That may not be an official title, but the organizers of the new Ice Palace Maze are laying claim to it anyway. As far as they know, no one else can rightfully take it away.

The 114-foot by 72-foot ice maze was built using 1,500 blocks of ice (each weighing approximately 260 pounds) in the parking lot of the Zephyr Theatre, located in downtown Stillwater. Together, the various twists and turns of the massive ice maze make up a half-mile of passages.

As visitors wind their way through the maze, they will find plenty of good photo opportunities thanks to the ice sculptures, thrones and colorful lights tower inside. Once they reach the end, the only way out will prove to be down—the exit involves a trip down one of two 36-foot ice slides.

“Visiting our Ice Palace Maze will be a fun, safe, family-focused way to celebrate winter,” Zephyr Theatre Executive Director Calyssa Hall said. “We hope it will bring a lot of joy to Stillwater residents and visitors.”

Last year, when COVID-19 restrictions limited inside access to the Zephyr Theatre, Hall turned the south parking lot into an outdoor entertainment area, where concerts and Shakespeare plays took place during the warmer months. With the threat of COVID-19 still lingering and some restrictions still in place, Hall said, “the Ice Palace Maze allows us to create something artistic outdoors.”

The maze is also a part of the seasonal festivities throughout Stillwater’s downtown, appropriately titled “Wintertime in Stillwater.” A lights display

Light shines through walls of ice as construction continues into the evening leading up to the scheduled opening of the Ice Palace Maze on Friday, Jan. 22.

(including the lighting of Stillwater’s historic Lift Bridge), a color-changing LED display set to music on the Chestnut Street Plaza and horse-drawn carriage rides are among the other cold-weather attractions.

The Ice Palace Maze will be open 5 to 10 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. Satur-

days and Sundays into March (weather permitting).

Capacity is limited to 100 people at a time for safety reasons. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children 5-12. Children 4 and younger get in free.

For more information, including online ticket orders, visit www.icepalacemaze.com.
