merald ash borer: arly detection key

SUBMITTED

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

As emerald ash borer (EAB) flight season approaches, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) is educating residents about EAB, the importance of early detection and what to do if it is found.

The MDA is in the process of hosting a series of free, hourlong EAB field workshops throughout the state to provide people a firsthand look at EAB-infested trees and assist communities in becoming familiar with early detection. The workshops, which are provided free of charge through support from the U.S. Forest Service, cover general EAB biology, distribution, management, regulation and treatment.

Three workshops were held in Lino Lakes March 11 at the Wargo Nature Center.

“We want people to know how to correctly identify EAB in their own yard, or if they are visiting a location, and to know how to properly report infested trees that they may find,” said presenter Jonathan Osthus of MDA. “The more eyes we have out

there that can see this, properly detect it and report it through the proper channels, better management outcomes happen. That can reduce the rate of spread in a given area and give communities more time ... It is not a matter of if, but when.”

EAB was first discovered in the U.S. in Detroit, Michigan, in 2002. In 2009, it was discovered in St. Paul about a mile away from the state fairgrounds.

Agrilus planipennis, more commonly called EAB, is a serious invasive tree pest.

How to report EAB

You can report EAB to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture in several ways.

Please use one of the following methods if you suspect you have found EAB in a new location:

1.) Contact Arrest the Pest via email or by leaving a detailed phone message at 1-888-545-6684.

2.) Send a report through the Great Lakes Early Detection Network App. 3.) Login or create an EDDMapS Midwest account and submit a report.

EAB MANAGEMENT WEBINAR When: 9 a.m. to noon April 7 Details: The MDA will host a webinar on EAB management. The webinar will provide a broad overview of ash management efforts on state forest land, ash management guidelines for private woodland owners, example management plans from a city forester and an overview of DNR Community Forestry's grant programs with examples of what makes a successful proposal.

Registration: Sign up by visiting mda.state.mn.us/eab and click “EAB Management Webinar Sign Up.”

White Bear native has 'surreal experience' on game show

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

Most game show contestants from Minnesota simply say they are from “Minneapolis” or “St. Paul” when introducing themselves — that was not an option for Caroline Sass.

“My whole family has grown up in White Bear ... I have lived here my whole life. Our blood bleeds orange and black. I had to say, ‘White Bear Lake,’” she said.

Caroline Sass, a 2015 White Bear grad, was chosen as a contestant on the third season of Ellen DeGeneres' “Game of Games.”

The episode aired on NBC on St. Patrick's Day. Caroline's mother, Becky Sass, also participated in the experience as Caroline's VIP guest.

Caroline has always been an Ellen fan. In 2018, she and some of her college friends applied to get tickets to Ellen's talk show. In 2019, they received an email informing them that they had been selected to be audience members, and they flew out to Los Angeles.

“We were pumped to begin with, but then we got seated in the front row. We were just on cloud nine. We were super energetic, crazy and loving life, and the producers noticed that,” Caroline recalled. “After the talk show, they confronted us and asked if we want to interview for Ellen's ‘Games of Games.’”

White Bear Lake monitors lead levels in drinking water As a water utility provider, White Bear Lake participates in a residential testing program to monitor the water coming out of household taps. During last summer’s round of testing, the city found elevated levels of lead in drinking water in four of the 30 homes tested.

Because lead can get into drinking water through household plumbing, the city is undertaking efforts, as it did last fall, to remind residents how to reduce exposure at home.

While the city's water supply does not contain excess lead, homes with older plumbing fixtures and piping are at risk of lead contamination. In these cases, lead can get in drinking water as it passes through household plumbing systems.

If your home was built before 1940, it is possible that your property still has a lead service line connecting your home to the city’s water main. If your home was built before 1986, it is likely that your home has copper plumbing with lead soldering. The existence of lead in private water service lines, internal plumbing or plumbing fixtures increases the potential for elevated lead levels in household drinking water.

“City water comes from four wells ranging from 476 to 970 feet deep that draw water from fresh aquifers. The water coming out of these wells continues to be safe for drinking,” said Public Works

Director Paul Kauppi. “Once drawn from the wells, the water is processed at the city’s water treatment plant, where EPA-recommended levels of a chloride disinfectant and fluoride are added.”

Kauppi also emphasized that the water is softened at the treatment plant, eliminating the need for in- home water softeners. “The city of White Bear Lake will continue to provide its customers high-quality water through its rigorous maintenance program, which includes annual maintenance of the treatment plant, regular flushing of the distribution system and routine repairs,” he said.

As for residential lead service lines, “The city completes a comprehensive assessment of its water system during its annual street reconstruction projects, which includes reviewing each water service for the existence of lead pipe and joints,” Kauppi added.

Why does all of this matter? Lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Staff at the Minnesota Department of Health also wants residents to be mindful of the risks of lead-based paint. “The most common way to come in contact with lead in Minnesota is through lead-based paint in homes built before 1978,” said Stephanie Yendell, of the Minnesota Department of Health.

As found on the Minnesota Depart-

ment of Health’s website, “Lead can cause serious health problems if too much enters your body from drinking water or other sources. It can cause damage to the brain and kidneys and can interfere with the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen to all parts of your body. The greatest risk of lead exposure is to infants, young children, and pregnant women. Scientists have linked the effects of lead on the brain with lowered IQ in children.

Adults with kidney problems and high blood pressure can be affected by low levels of lead more than healthy adults.

Lead is stored in the bones and it can be released later in life. During pregnancy, the child receives lead from the mother’s bones, which may affect brain development.”

lead levels and may actually increase them.

• Test your water. The only way to know if lead has been reduced by letting it run is to check with a test. If letting the water run does not reduce lead, consider other options to reduce your exposure. Many laboratories can test your water to see if it contains lead; a list can be found on the Minnesota Department of Health’s website.

• Treat your water or find an alternative source if a test shows your water has high levels of lead after you let the water run.

• Get your child tested. Contact your local health department or doctor to find out how you can get your child tested for lead if you are concerned about exposure.

To reduce your exposure to lead:

Call Paul Kauppi, public works director, at 651-429-8531 or visitwhitebearlake. org/ccr For more information on reducing lead exposure around your home/building and the health effects of lead, visit epa. gov/lead or contact your doctor.

• Let the water run before using it for drinking or cooking. If you do not have a lead service line, let the water run for 30-60 seconds. If you have a lead service line, let the water run for 3-5 minutes. The more time water has been sitting in your home’s pipes, the more lead it may contain.

• Use cold water for drinking, cooking and preparing baby formula. Hot water absorbs more lead from pipes than cold water. Boiling water does not reduce

Mahtomedi issues declaration of emergency: Council members meet at arm’s length MAHTOMEDI — The City Council held its regular meeting, but not as usual, on March 17. Council members and City Clerk Jerene Rogers communicated through video conferencing to address the COVID-19 health crisis faced by its citizens and businesses and to conduct regular city business.

Washington County Commissioner Fran Miron joined the conference to outline the county’s response and give an update on the steps the county is taking during the pandemic.

Council unanimously (4-0; Councilwoman Jane Schneeweis was absent) consented to the mayor’s declaration of local emergency, extending the period of the local emergency to 30 days. The resolution authorized certain actions to 30 days from the date of its adoption or to such earlier determination by the Mahtomedi City Council that the emergency no longer exists.

The mayor’s emergency declaration follows the Emergency Executive Order 20-01 issued by Gov. Tim Walz on March 13, which declared a peacetime state of emergency. The resolution authorizes all necessary resources to be used in support of the COVID-19 response, effective immediately. The mayor’s declaration also acknowledges the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential harm to public health and safety.

To read updates on closures and operations within the city, visit the city website at www.ci.mahtomedi.mn.us.

Click on Covid-19 button in the upper left-hand corner.

Council agreed with the mayor’s determination that during the 30-day period, in-person meetings of the City Council, Planning Commission and other city commissions were not practical or prudent due to the COVID-19 health pandemic, the governor’s order, and recommendations of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The measures will be in place until the presiding officer of each body determines, in consultation with the city administrator, that it is no longer impractical or imprudent for the respective public body to resume in-person meetings.

The plan is for council to meet — following the procedures of social distancing — online on April 7.

In other action, the council: • Passed a resolution awarding the sale of $10 million in general obligation improvement, street and utility bonds, Series 2020A, fixing their form and specifications, directing their execution and delivery and providing for their payment. The city’s bond rating was bumped up to Aa+, one step below the highest Standard and Poor’s rating. The bond sale follows the council’s approval of a five-year capital improvement plan naming certain construction projects. The projects include Phase IV Historic District; Dahlia Street improvements; Birchwood and Lost Lake Court street improvements; Bevins, Bichner and Talahi street and utility improvements; the Glenmar Area storm sewer diversion; storm sewer pond maintenance and drainage improvements and the sanitary sewer lining program.

• Approved the ADA transition plan, a self-evaluation of the city’s compliance with ADA regulations dealing with public rights of way. This plan is required to be completed as part of any application the city makes for federal grant monies under the regional solicitation process administered through the Metropolitan Council.

• Approved the Hallam Park design and gave city staff permission to bid the project. Hallam Park was developed into a neighborhood park in 1992 after the water tower was removed. At that time, the construction included a playground, swings, basketball half court and a trail through the park. Council has decided it is time to replace those improvements. After a presentation of the park plan at the March 2 meeting, council directed city staff to have WSB continue to develop the design and specifications for council approval and the authorization to solicit for bids.

• Passed a resolution amending the 2020-24 capital improvement plan to include the proposed Safe Routes to School project.

• Passed a resolution to approve the Safe Routes to School grant application submission for 2024 and to authorize a letter of support for the Safe Routes to School 2020 federal funding solicitation process. The total project cost is estimated to be $578,000, using $370,000 in grant funding and a 20% required city match. Because costs not associated with construction are not eligible for grant money, the city and school district will share an additional $116,000 in overhead costs. The grant application requested funds for a sidewalk along Warner Avenue S. from the south school entrance of O.H. Anderson School to Bevins Lane, another sidewalk along 72nd Street from Glenmar to Warner Avenue, and crosswalk improvements on Warner Avenue at the south school entrance.

• Authorized payments of slightly more than $42,000 to the two affected landowners and accepted pond easements for the pond that exists between 132 and 134 Dahlia Street. The easement creation is part of the Dahlia Street improvement project ordered by council on Oct. 15. By acquiring these easements, the city will now avoid a much more costly alternative of routing the stormwater south on Warner Avenue.

• Approved the 2020 stormwater management grant agreement with the Rice Creek Watershed District for Historic District Improvement – Phase 4 West, for up to $30,000 in funding. The grant funds will be allocated specifically for the Neptune and Rose sites in the project.

• Accepted a proposal from WSB in the amount of $3,800 to conduct traffic counts on all Minnesota State Aid routes in the city, as required by Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) State Aid Office.

The city is required to perform these counts every five years. Although the city last conducted the counts in 2016 and is not due to conduct more until 2021, MnDOT has determined that they will synchronize traffic counts by requiring all MSA cities to perform them in 2020.

• Approved a proposal in the amount of $26,000 from WSB for the final design of Aaron’s Playground with

funds available from the 2020 parks capital improvement plan.

• Hired Pamela McLellan, from 3M Legal Affairs, as part-time accounting clerk at a rate of $24.86 per hour.

The offer is contingent on successful completion of a background check and drug test. McLellan will serve a six-month probationary period.

• Passed a resolution appointing advisory commission members. Environmental Commission appointees are Kevin Toskey and Christine Ahmann-Maples; Finance Commission appointees are Michael Bromelkamp and Luke Schlegal; Park Commission appointees are Thomas Eldredge and Stacy Fischer; and Planning Commission appointees are Alex Rogosheske and Daniel Soler.

• Approved the rental lease agreement for the duplex used for firefighter housing at 196 Hallam.

• Reclassified the position of office assistant for the Public Works Department from Grade 5 to Grade 6 and revised the job title to that of public works administrative assistant. With the reclassification, the position’s pay scale will increase by $3,000. The position was reclassified at the recommendation of the city’s labor consultant from Baker Tilly because of the additional duties added.

The council next meets at 7 p.m. Monday, April 7, via teleconference.

Proceed with caution

OVID-19 has reached pandemic levels in the United States. It is time to live with caution and develop new and renew healthy practices at home, at work, in schools in medical centers and senior care facilities.

People are frightened, herd buying is taking place at food stores, primarily for bottled water, toilet paper and canned goods. This is a new virus and it will take time to build immunities, develop vaccines and to understand all its characteristics.

The federal and state governments are gearing up to control the spread of this harmful respiratory disease. They are behind in testing equipment and facilities. Medical facilities are preparing to meet these challenges, thanks to the federal government fi nancial aid.

Imposing international travel restrictions, closing educational facilities, churches, sporting and entertainment events which About the draw crowds will help control the spread.

Town A great deal of health disciplines have been hitting Gene Johnson my desk via email. Let me try to help readiness with this summary.

The symptoms: 1. It will fi rst infect the throat, so you’ll have a sore throat lasting three or four days 2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about five or six days further. 3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing. 4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you’re drowning. It’s imperative you then seek immediate attention The Mayo Clinic has sent the following reminders: If you experience COVID-19 symptoms — fever, cough or shortness of breath — contact your regular provider before you arrive to determine if you should be seen. Wash your hands; avoid touching your face; and practice appropriate self-care, including staying home when you are sick.

Another source sent the following: 1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold. 2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose. 3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 C or 82-84 F degrees. It hates the sun. 4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne. 5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours — so if you come into contact with any metal surface, wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap. 6. On fabric, it can survive for 6-12 hours. Normal laundry detergent will kill it. 7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice. 8. Can’t emphasis enough — drink plenty of water! Use common sense: If you are sick, don’t go to work and contaminate your fellow workers. The federal government is making provisions to cover loss of wages while confi ned or quarantined to your home.

We will overcome this new disease as we have done with the Spanish Flu, Polio, Measles, HIV, and other flu types.

If you are considered elderly, or have a chronic illness, be concerned but do not panic over this new disease, which can affect senior living of all types. Be diligent in health practices. Extra hygiene is in order. Use prevention techniques such as cleaning the sinks, food preparation areas, bathrooms with disinfectant bleach. Wiping down all remotes, door handles with disinfectant, washing clothes with hot water, avoiding crowds and drinking plenty of fluids.

Disinformation: Accurate news critical on coronavirus

W

e’ve said it before and we’ll say it for as long as it takes: Get your news from credible news sources, especially for stories as serious as the coronavirus.

The National Security Council warned Americans Monday about taking information off Movers & social media regarding the Shakers coronavirus as much of it Mankato is outright lies Free Press attempting to spread fear throughout the country.

The NSC described it as “foreign disinformation” in a blatant attempt to spread fear and divisiveness. It came near the same time where a Department of Health and Human Services system experienced a “cyber incident.”

The system was later running normally.

The latest big lie involved a fake news report on social

media, most likely created by Russia, that said the entire U.S. was supposed to be on “lockdown” due to coronavirus.

Nothing could be further from the truth. It was immediately debunked by health officials, security officials and President Donald Trump himself.

A reminder: News that is transmitted by Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social platforms can be completely false. The tech giants have no legal liability or responsibility to make sure any of what they transmit is true. Facebook leaders have even gone so far as to reject the idea of taking down falsehoods because they are someone’s “version of the truth.”

But it’s important not to confuse legitimate news sources like this newspaper or others in Minnesota who transmit their news via Facebook, Twitter and Google. It’s unfortunate the new ways of transmitting news can be confusing, but that’s a new reality.

When you click on Facebook post that is a Free Press story, you will generally be brought to the news organization’s

website. In some cases, The Free Press posts an entire story on Facebook, but in that case it will have the author’s name. It may take a little more care to pick a legitimate website, but during a pandemic it can be critical to getting the correct information.

Local, state and national coronavirus stories can be found at mankatofreepress.com.

First responders and public health officials told MinnPost that one of the biggest challenges they face in trying to treat people and deliver care is the constant battle with disinformation on Facebook.

People call in a panic wondering if the latest rumor about a case or the virus on Facebook is true.

There has never been a more important time to get accurate information on a pandemic that hard-working public health officials are trying to respond to in a timely way. Don’t make it worse by spreading misinformation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Something is happening here, and it’s not particularly clear

In the last three months, our world has been turned upside down with a very serious outbreak of a sickness known as COVID-19, or coronavirus. This virus has spread rapidly from China to the U.S. and Europe, and in time will affect 40% of the world population, according to the National Institute of Health.

Every aspect of life has been affected by this virus, including international and domestic travel and major sporting events. The NBA, MLB, NCAA, NHL and all high school activities have suspended their seasons as well as tournament play.

Public gatherings have been banned for any group of 250 people or more. We hope our resilient and compassionate population will adjust their daily lives accordingly: good hygiene, social distancing and common sense when ill — stay home!

As a person of faith, I sincerely believe we will overcome this pandemic through the good Lord’s healing grace and endless love. As a nation, we must be positive and united in this fight for our common future. In closing, thanks for your time. We shall overcome. Peace and health!

(Subhead from Buffalo Springfield’s 1967 song, “For What It’s Worth”) Jim Brunzell White Bear Lake

Overreach and fear

Fear, envy and resentment are primal emotions. Elections are often influenced by these fundamental human emotions. What amazes me is just how overpowering fear can be.

On March 16, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz issued Emergency Executive Order 20-04, Providing for Temporary Closure of Bars, Restaurants, and Other Places of Public Accommodation.

Walz took this action based on his read of Minnesota Statute 12.31 (National Security or Peacetime Emergency; Declaration). He may or may not have overreached his authority.

We all want to stop the COVID-19 virus, but Walz should not be allowed to use this event to take away someone's fundamental freedoms.

In this case, his hasty actions hurt many sole proprietor businesses like the one-chair, one-barber barbershop. These businesses are now forced to close under penalty of “law.”

I have two concerns for my fellow citizens. First, this sets a dangerous precedent for future unilateral actions that suspend individual rights. Secondly, I’m shocked at the lack of outrage exhibited by the public and our media that do not challenge or at least question this governor’s actions.

Fear is a powerful emotion. As citizens, we cannot allow our fear to prevent challenging the actions of government or we risk surrendering our fundamental rights.

Bravo to school district for welcoming student input

In response to Randall K. Johnson’s “Citizens, Taxpayers ...” March 11 letter, I found his negative reaction to our school district’s decision to solicit input from students on programming and design elements to be an extreme overreaction and, to use his own words, “preposterous.”

Nowhere in the opinion piece or in the district’s mission statement does it say or even suggest that students are making board-level decisions for the district.

It is a widely accepted best practice — whether in education or business — to solicit input from your clients. I have no idea what generation the writer belongs to, but the days of students being told to “shut up and just sit there and do as I say” are long gone. Best practice is inclusiveness and, in an age-appropriate manner, empowerment of students (and parents) to participate in their education, including the shaping of college and career readiness pathways.

Bravo to our school district for seeking and welcoming student input. I’m proud to belong to a community that demonstrates this type of education excellence.

This is an unusual time, one which is stressing our community: our nonprofit organizations, our small businesses, our schools, our local governments, and

us as individuals. The Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation is particularly concerned about the impact on those community organizations that so many of us rely on – from food shelves to the performing arts. We are actively assessing what nonprofit groups and their clients are experiencing, with the hope that we can inform the community of both urgent and long-term needs, and that we can work with community partners to develop strategies for responding to those needs. In the meantime, we encourage our friends and neighbors to consider ways in which they can contribute to the ongoing health and viability of our local community organizations.

Kudos for free lunches

I would like to give the 4 Seasons Restaurant in Mahtomedi a shoutout for outstanding community engagement during the Covid 19 National Emergency.

At a time when restaurants are struggling with the shutdown, they put aside their own struggles and stepped up to support the community by providing a free lunch to kids who are on the free or reduced school lunch program while school is out. (see ad in page 3A of 3/18 WBP). It’s businesses like this that make me proud to part of this community.

EMERALD ASH BORER: Become active in May or June FROM PAGE 1A

Consequently, it is regulated by the MDA Plant Protection Division in an effort to slow the spread of the insect to other areas of the state yet to be impacted. According to the MDA, EAB has now been confi rmed in 22 counties in Minnesota, 35 states and five Canadian provinces.

Adult EAB beetles are active from May through September and typically emerge around the end of May/early June, or when the lilacs start to bloom.

Damage to trees is caused by the beetle larvae, not the adult beetles.

How to identify EAB Osthus said the number one way to identify EAB is to look for the S-shaped, serpentine tunnel gallery the larvae makes on the tree beneath the bark. Woodpecker damage may also be a sign of an infestation, as woodpeckers like to feed on the larvae. An EAB larva can also be identified by the pair of brown, pincer-like appendages on its tail end.

You should not waste your time searching for the adult beetles or the D-shaped exit holes, as they are difficult to fi nd. “The (D-shaped exit holes) are only about 1/8-inch big, and a lot of native species make similar-shaped holes on trees,” Osthus explained.

“The beetles are not social creatures and typically stay up in the canopy of the tree. In 10 years, I have only spotted one adult beetle sitting on a trunk.”

On average, it takes EAB about five or six years to kill a tree. During the fi rst two years of infestation, you will likely not see any signs that EAB is present. In the third and fourth years, however, the infestation will be identifiable if you know what to look for. In the fourth year of infestation, the canopy of the tree will really start to thin and display fewer, smaller leaves.

Jonathan Osthus, of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, points out damage from emerald ash borer (EAB) on a black ash tree at Wargo Nature Center in Lino Lakes.

treatment is trunk injections, Osthus said. The MDA recommends having the injections done by a professional tree removal company. The treatments are effective for 2-3 years and must be reapplied.

It should be noted that some of the chemicals used could affect native species and pollinators.

If a tree is too far gone, there is always the option of removing/replacing the tree. MDA encourages people to not remove ash trees or do pruning work from May to September during EAB flight season to avoid further spread.

For more information about treatment, visit mda.state.mn.us/eab-info-homeowners.

Methods of treatment Typically, if the infestation is caught within the fi rst three years, the tree should be healthy enough to save through treatment. For treatment to be effective, the tree must still have at least 70% of its canopy left. The most common type of

GAME SHOW: White Bear grad’s appreciation for Ellen grows FROM PAGE 1A

Caroline and her friends all did on-the-spot interviews and weren’t expecting to ever receive a follow-up. About a month later, they all received emails saying that they were selected to continue on in the selection process. Caroline’s friends decided to not go through with it, but Caroline persisted. Last May, right after Caroline graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in supply chain management, she received a phone call saying she was chosen as a “potential contestant.” Show representatives agreed to fly her and her plus-one out to LA for the June fi lming.

Becky was not surprised that her daughter would want to be on a game show. “She is a person that lives life to the fullest and loves to have fun; she is adventuresome, very independent. So this totally fits into her persona,” she said. “I felt fortunate and lucky to be her guest. It was cool to be behind the scenes.”

Up until about an hour before Caroline fi lmed her “Taj Mah Wall” scene, she wasn’t sure if she was going to be a contestant. Caroline thinks her high energy level, the fact that she was obsessed with Ellen, and her response to the question, “What would you do with the $100,000 if you win?” is what made her stand out.

“During the interview process, they are clearly looking for people that have lots of energy, that love Ellen and are funky and spunky,” Caroline said. “I am a huge Ellen DeGeneres fan; she is an amazing human being. She emits this kindness and energy that is definitely needed in the world.”

Becky added, “You love the show, you love Ellen, but knowing the process that Caroline had to go through to be selected, it makes you appreciate and love the show so much more.”

Caroline had no idea the episode was going to air until the day before it did, after she saw a clip of her episode on Facebook. To make things even more complicated, Caroline and her family were on a vacation in Greece. At 3 a.m. they knew the episode had aired after their phones began to blow up with notifications.

After their opportunity to be on the show, both Caroline and Becky have a deeper appreciation of the intentional planning that goes into each production. How the contestants introduce themselves and what outfits they wear — even where people sit in the audience — is all planned down to the last detail.

“We had to go to about 30 minutes of training on how to cheer, how to act excited,” Becky recalled.

“Each time we started fi lming a new game, they moved us to different seats.”

Caroline says she now has a “fun fact” for life.

To see Caroline’s episode, visit nbc.com/ellens-game-of-games/.

COVID 19: ‘We are all in this together’

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

In a time where there are a lot of unknowns, levels of stress, anxiety and depression can flare up.

Area mental health professionals want people to know that we are all in this together and that it is normal to have these feelings.

“In general, the population is more anxious and on edge because of the unknowns. There is a lot of fear going on right now about how long this might last,” said Blaine resident Tim Mortenson, CEO of Bridging Hope Counseling.

The COVID 19 pandemic has had a significant impact on Mortenson's business, Bridging Hope Counseling, which has locations in Lino Lakes, Rogers and Buffalo. A lot of clients have canceled their appointments for a multitude of reasons, including the loss of a job, the inability to pay for health insurance or fear to leave one's home.

Bridging Hope Counseling is known for its dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) groups, which teach skills such as mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Even though the weekly groups are not able to meet right now, the group facilitators are putting together videos so their clients can keep practicing those skills.

In addition to incorporating social distancing and a stricter cleaning regimen, the clinics remain open for clients who feel comfortable in making visits. For those who do not, or need to stay at home, Bridging Hope Counseling is offering Tele-Health services, which allows clients to see their therapist in an online video format. “It is not the same as meeting face-to-face, but it is important for people to have an ongoing relationship with their therapist. Seeing each other makes a big difference,” Mortenson said.

On a positive note, the pandemic

is “bringing mental health to the forefront that it needs to be at,” Mortenson explained. “It is okay to have these feelings. You are not alone. We are all in this together.

Nobody is excluded from what we are dealing with right now; you are either directly or indirectly affected from this. It is okay to be feeling the way you are feeling,” he said.

Now is the time that people need to be vulnerable and talk about the way they are feeling instead of internalizing it.

“If you do need assistance, there are people out there for you. Especially in the mental health field, there (are) a lot of great professionals out there who are trained for times like this,” Mortenson said.

“Even though they are therapists, they are feeling the same exact thing right now. They have the same worries that you and I have.”

HOW TO MANAGE ANXIETY AND STRESS The outbreak of COVID-19 may be stressful for people and communities to handle, especially as new information continues to be released at seemingly breakneck speeds.

We all handle stress differently, and there is not a one-size-fits-all solution to navigating these emotionally challenging times. Fortunately, there are plenty of best practices you can follow to make illness-induced stress easier to manage.

How to handle stress • People with preexisting mental health conditions should continue with their treatment plans during an emergency and monitor for any new symptoms.

• Don't forget to connect with family, friends and others in your community while keeping social distancing in mind.

• Avoiding excessive exposure to COVID 19 coverage and take good care of both your body and mind. This can include regular exercise and meditation, as well as eating healthy, getting plenty of sleep and avoiding alcohol and drugs.

• If you think you may be dealing with some form of depression, reach out to your doctor immediately for a consultation and potential treatment.

• Don't forget to practice self-care, even if that means just taking five minutes out of your day for yourself.

• Breathe, get outside and take breaks from TV and social media.

All owners of Iceboats are requested to remove their boats from the lake and are warned not to store on private property. If not removed from lake or property belonging to others they will be removed and destroyed by the proper authorities.

1945

Six fi res in one day, three at one time, all at various distances, certainly made Wednesday, March 21, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;red letterâ&#x20AC;? day for the White Bear fi remen. It was the fi rst time within the memory of old-time fi remen that 3 calls were in at once. All were grass fi res threatening residences and other buildings.

1970

City and council officials announced Monday that an area car licensing center will be established in White Bear Lake by July 1, to serve automobile dealers and residents in obtaining Minnesota car licenses. Ramsey County Auditor, Thomas Kelley, said that White Bear Lake was selected as the site for the center because it is a major population center and because of the concentrations of car dealers on Minn. 61. The center would be set up to serve the whole area around Whtie Bear, including Maplewood and North St. Paul.

After the din of 31 years of recess games, lunch periods, long division classes and spelling bees, Golfview Elementary School may fall silent next

fall. The White Bear school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smallest elementary school fell victim to the undertow of the $4.2 million in spending cuts which resulted from the loss of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excess tax levy this

fall. White Bear School District trustees will hold a hearing to gather testimony about their recommendation to close the elementary Wednesday, March 22 at 7:30 p.m. at Sunrise Middle School.

Rotarians recovering from bout with virus WHITE BEAR LAKE — Rotary Club President John Channon offered an update on the two members who tested positive for coronavirus (reported in last week’s Press).

“Our fellow Rotarians are either recovered or in the process of recovering,” Channon said in an email. “Each has had a slightly different journey, one experienced mild symptoms and recovered quite effectively, in the 80% category of those who contract the virus. The other had a slightly more difficult recovery, and it has been a longer road. Both are in very positive moods.”

Channon added he has not heard of any new COVID-19 cases among club membership and encouraged people to follow procedures outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization to mitigate spread. For more, go to https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/situation.html The club will be conducting future meetings online until further notice.

Walz signs executive order clarifying businesses subject to close Gov. Tim Walz signed Executive Order 20-08, clarifying the types of businesses and places of public accommodation subject to closure per Executive Order 20-04. The executive order clarifies that the closure order applies

to salons, barbershops and other similar establishments.

“As we move quickly to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are constantly learning and adjusting to feedback from health experts, business owners and workers,” said Walz. “The best way to slow the spread of COVID-19 is to implement social distancing, and this executive order provides clarification on how we can better practice these community mitigation strategies.”

With hundreds of positive reviews and feedback, The FootLab website (www.thefootlab.com) has features and information on the benefits of custom foot orthotics. Appointments can be made online on The FootLab website. Interested individuals can make a free appointment with a certified pedorthist to discuss concerns related to their feet, knees and lower back.

When feet hurt it is logical to think that it’s time to get new shoes. In most cases though it’s not the shoes that are bad but the support inside the shoe that’s bad. Everyone benefits from custom orthotics because they disperse pressure evenly throughout the sole of the foot and they align the foot properly which orients the knee and hip in a healthy posture.

To make an appointment with a Certified Pedorthist call The FootLab at Hi Tempo (651) 429-3333 or go online at www.thefootlab.com and follow the links to make an appointment.

A fashion model of a different sort

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

The cover girl for a workwear company walks the talk when it comes to durable, comfy work attire.

Anna (Fresvik) Bailey, White Bear Lake class of ’95, was tapped

by Duluth Trading Co. for its spring catalog because she fits the brand.

In fact, she wears it every day.

Walk into Bailey’s woodworking studio and chances are good she’ll be dressed in her favorite red coveralls and T-shirt from Duluth Trading Co. All-season work gloves are also part of her workday ensemble.

She needs the heavy-duty gloves for her line of work, which is turning old wood into works of art.

The catalog includes Bailey’s backstory, titled “Creativity Reclaimed,” along with her workplace photos. It’s the perfect heading for the Duluth artist who found her calling later in life.

A mother of four, Bailey spent a year teaching music after graduating from the University of Minnesota-Duluth and marrying her college sweetheart Nathanael. They decided to stay in the harbor city. She became a stay-at-home mom after they started a family, and later discovered an affi nity for carpentry.

Bailey was in between jobs as

The studio is located at 5727 Grand Ave. in Duluth. music director at a local church and mulling her next move when it hit her. “I decided to build furniture in my garage.” She doesn’t claim to have an interest in art, per se, but considers herself creative and innovative. She started with patio furniture.

“I discovered I was handy with my husband’s tools. I was really empowered,” Bailey recalled. “So I started building lots of furniture and people wanted to buy it. I built a laundry sorter that went viral on Pinterest.

I was shipping them all over the country. But I didn’t want to just build laundry sorters for the rest of my life.”

The leftover scrap wood lying on the floor gave Bailey an idea. She started making simple wall designs that became more and more intricate as her skills improved. Almost five years later, wood mosaic artwork is all she makes. Nathanael, an auto body guy, “took a leap of faith” and joined her full time to help handle the workload.

Together they run Bailey Builds, turning out wood mosaics in a 1920s

ALL PHOTOS SUBMITTED

This cover photo of Anna Bailey was taken last August. At the time, the self-taught woodworker wondered why the Duluth Trading Co. people were being so finicky with her makeup, hair and wardrobe. After an hour and a half, they said, ‘We got it.’ The photo turned out to be the cover shot for the company’s spring catalog.

gas station they converted into a studio and retail space.

Duluth Trading Co. eventually took notice of the female carpenter who wore its work clothes and talked about them on social media.

“I love their stuff and wear it in the shop,” said Bailey, explaining how she ended up on the catalog cover. “Someone reached out to me in 2018 from their marketing department asking if I wanted to collaborate with them. Last August, their people came to do a photo shoot. They had 22 people here for three days. I found out I made the cover during the photo shoot. They told me I would be the woman they featured.”

The Wisconsin-based company is rebranding its women’s campaign, noting in the catalog it is “proud to showcase a new cadre of hardworking women forging their way in the arts, industry and trades.”

Also proud is Bailey’s dad Mike Fresvik, who dropped off the catalog at the Press. Mike and Sharon still live in south White Bear Lake, raising three children, Ted, Erin and Anna. Bailey describes them as a “big hockey family.” She loves White Bear but Duluth has become home, she added.

“We are really invested in our city and anything that says Duluth on it. I gravitated to Duluth Trading Co. (not to be confused with Duluth Pack) because their roots started in Duluth.”

Her collaboration with the 30-year-old company has become a paying gig, Bailey said. She is now an independent lifestyle model for Duluth Trading Co. — like a company ambassador. “I wear their clothing and share their story,” she said.

“Their objective,” added Bailey, “is to focus on women who forge their own way. They highlight how their clothing comes alongside that journey, encouraging other women to be a Duluth woman.”

The publicity has helped Bailey, who is busier than ever. She is getting letters from women who are inspired by her story, and the Baileys have hired a communications person to handle customer relations. “There has been so much great feedback,” she said. “We are really grateful.”

Asked if her White Bear education impacted her career choices, Bailey mentioned that her former high school choir teacher, David Briggs, is a fan. “He’s been to the studio. He encouraged me creatively through music.”

She added that she has great memories of a secure, happy childhood spent outdoors in a close-knit neighborhood. And singing in the choir at First Lutheran Church, now Community of Grace, had a big impact on her. “Director Ken Wanovich was a big encouragement to feed my creative spirit.”

The Bailey family: parents Anna and Nathanael Nathanael, with Isaac Isaac, Lincoln Lincoln, Samuel and Amelia Amelia, ages 18 to 13, with their two dogs.

Most of the mosaics come from old old, reclaimed lumber lumber. Bailey says the weathered wood “inspires her.” The longer the wood ages, the prettier it becomes. This piece is called “Feather with gray accents.”

Township accepts COVID 19 proclamation, appoints emergency management team

BY CYNTHIA SOWDEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The White Bear Township board proclaimed a local health emergency at its March 16 meeting, as the coronavirus continues to spread throughout Minnesota. After considerable discussion, the board also moved to appoint an emergency management team consisting of Public Works Director Dale Reed, Clerk Pat Christopherson, Attorney Chad Lemmons and Board Chair Ed Prudhon.

All township meetings have been postponed until April.

Christopherson said he had been in touch with the city of Roseville’s IT department about how township employees can work remotely.

Only one employee does not have internet or Wi-Fi access.

Lemmons noted that township board meetings could be held over the telephone. However, to stay in compliance with Minnesota’s Open Meeting law, one member of the town board or the town’s chief legal officer must be present at the township offices to conduct the meeting.

In other matters, the board tabled a vote for approval of the creation of a new subdivision at the old White Bear Stables at 5660 Portland Ave. The item was tabled so that the township’s Economic Development Authority could weigh in on the plans first.

SUBMITTED

The power of invention The task for Magnuson Christian School fourth grade students was to create a Rube Goldberg machine (a machine using at least 10 steps and three simple machines to complete an easy task). They could make their inventions out of any supplies that they chose. All students received a Certificate of Participation and the judges selected the first-, second-, and third-place winners, who also received a ribbon.

SCHOOL BRIEFS While Minnesota schools remain closed, the White Bear Lake Area School district will provide free child care for students whose parents/guardians are health care, emergency or grocery store workers. Families can register online at bit.ly/3dj7Ijy or call 651-407-7501. Please leave a voicemail if calling outside of work hours. Regular childcare programming will be closed. Additional information can be found at www.isd624.org/departments/communications/coronavirus-covid-19-updates

White Bear Lake Area Schools provides free meals to students

As Minnesota schools close amid the COVID-19 spread, White Bear Lake Area Schools is providing free meals to all children ages 18 and under and to students with disabilities up to 21 years old. Meals can be picked up from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Two breakfasts and two lunches will be provided on Monday and Wednesday. One breakfast and one lunch will be provided on Friday. The district is asking families planning to utilize this free service to fill out a questionnaire beforehand, available at bit.ly/2Uib51x Meals can be picked up at any of the following locations: • Oneka Elementary (4888 N. Heritage Parkway, Hugo) • Birch Lake Elementary (1616 Birch Lake Avenue, White Bear Lake) • Willow Lane Elementary (3375 Willow Avenue, White Bear Lake)

QC Pizza donates to homeless QC Pizza in Mahtomedi donated 24 pizzas to the Listening House of St. Paul last week after a customer had the idea to donate pizzas to the homeless and QC Pizza decided to match it. Dubbed the “living room of the homeless,” Listening House is a day shelter and community center providing hospitality, practical assistance and guidance to men and women who are disadvantaged, homeless or lonely.

“We feel that we are blessed to give back. It is just pizza, but it is a way for them to feel normal.

Feed the mind, feed the soul,” said QC Pizza owner Dennis Schneekloth. The business hopes to make it a monthly occurrence.

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com A rare occurrence happen this March. Can you guess what it was? Clues: It's something that happened every day.

If you were outside you might have noticed it more. It will bring a smile to your face. It is weather-related. Answer: Every day the high was above freezing. It's only been recorded twice. The most recent was 2010 and the other waaaaay back in 1878. For the month of March we finished nearly 5º warmer than normal. Snowfall totaled less than 3". We missed out on 5" when a half inch of rain fell instead of snow on March 19. Despite the above normal temperatures, I never hit 60º and the airport only reached 60º once. That should change in April as 60's should rule the second half of the month.

Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake. Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.

Seniors receive colorful special delivery PHOTOS | SUBMITTED PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Above: Elaine Walsh and Florence Kimball, at left, were among The Waters in White Bear Lake residents who received flower bouquets last week to brighten up their living quarters.

In a press release, Bachman’s representatives stated that they hoped the donated flowers would bring an early touch of spring and make people smile.

To our valued customers High demand for products is causing us to take a pause from delivering your weekly ad circular in this newspaper.

All of us at Festival Foods are working to bring product to the shelves as soon as they arrive.

However, it isn’t possible to know items far enough in advance to print and deliver advertised specials and guarantee availability.

During this extraordinary time, we continue to offer in-store specials and remain open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. (Temporary Hours) We hope you understand the reason for this pause.

The weekly circular will return soon.

Mostly, we appreciate you, our local customers.

White Bear Lake | 2671 East County Rd E | White Bear Lake, MN 55110 (651) 653-8888 | Hours: 6:00am - 9:00pm | festivalfoods.net 663312

Above: Staff and residents at The Waters of White Bear Lake gather around some of the dozens of flower bouquets delivered to the residents courtesy of Bachman’s Floral. After the Galleria 2020 Floral Experience was cancelled, the company made the decision to donate the flowers — grown specifically for the event — to Twin Cities area nonprofit organizations and senior centers rather than let them go to waste.
